Chapter 100: Sue them all!

"When I was a teenager, I longed for the little prince, who could watch forty-four sunsets in one day. How long did it take me to understand how sad the little prince was when he watched forty-four sunsets?"

"My rose has only four insignificant thorns to protect it from the world."

"I felt like crying while reading it. It's so lonely. Human beings are so lonely."

"He fell like a tree."

“Perhaps only a spiritual person like Cheng Cheng can write such a book. His thinking is eccentric, his ideas are soaring, and his imagination is not bound by reality. What he shows is difficult for ordinary people to understand, but it is just right to be written in the book. Because we can't guess Cheng Cheng, there are endless interpretations of this book.”

"Maybe Cheng Cheng is the little prince in the story. When we don't understand him, he might also be saying in his heart, 'Adults are really weird.'"

"When we laughed at Cheng Cheng, he was probably laughing at us for not understanding the first painting."

"The fact that the author of this book is a psychopath makes it even more romantic."

More and more people have read "The Little Prince", and there are more and more discussions and comments about "The Little Prince" on the Internet.

People began to use "watching the sunset" to replace being in a bad mood, "watching the sunset forty-four times in one day" to replace being in a very bad mood, "taming" to replace creating relationships, and "rose" and "fox" to refer to their lovers or themselves.

A UP host of Bilibili.

"Hello, I bought a book a few days ago, it's called The Little Prince. I don't know if you have read it, and I'm not sure if you will be moved like I was when you read it. It's not complicated at all. It's the destined feeling of being moved when I reach this point in my life."

[Thank you, I came back after crying so hard after reading the novel]

[Yes, yes, yes, simple touching and light sadness]

"When I was a little tired, I was unexpectedly moved. Is this a sad thing or a fortunate thing? I can't tell."

"If it's a sad thing, it must be that I've reached this age and have become a standard adult; if it's a fortunate thing, it must be that I've reached this age and I'm still able to be a little moved by the small world of my childhood."

[I still have the ability to be moved by the world of children... I cried when I heard this]

[The real problem is not growing up, but forgetting]

"In this very short book, the author uses fairy-tale-like language and some pictures to tell a story that can be read by people of all ages. This story contains children's imagination, young love, middle-aged love, and adult misfortune."

"It is even more touching than many complex novels I've seen that discuss philosophy and human nature."

[Because it is very close to our real life experience]

【Back to Basics】

[This book is worth reading repeatedly for different ages]

What does The Little Prince want to tell us?

[I read the book twice after I got it, and gained some new insights

1. The story of the Little Prince My plane (life) had problems and fell into the boundless desert (desperate situation). I began to reflect and talk to my soul (the Little Prince) to find the pursuit of life...

In the dormitory of Teikyo Film Academy, a gust of wind blew and scattered Yan Gou'er's hair.

A strand of hair was blown to her snow-white cheek, adding a touch of messy beauty to her.

[“Ah!” said the fox, “I shall certainly cry.”

"It is your fault," said the little prince. "I did not mean to cause you any pain, but you asked me to tame you..."

"Yes, that's it," said the fox.

"You are going to cry again!" said the little prince.

"Of course," said the fox.

"But you didn't get any benefit."

"I benefited from the color of the wheat," said the fox.]
Yan Gou'er suddenly felt sad.

The fox knew that he had fallen in love with the little prince. The moment he saw him, the fox knew that he had fallen in love with the little prince. The fox knew the price of falling in love with someone; the fox also knew that he could not keep the little prince, because the little prince only had roses in his heart. So the fox went forward and took the initiative to ask to be tamed, and even simply told him the true meaning of love in one sentence and let him go.

Yan Gou'er felt like this fox.

Director Cheng is like a little prince who doesn’t understand love and is not enlightened, or he is like a man who has been hurt by the four thorns of a rose and has lost all expectations of love.

Falling in love with such a person is a disaster.

Asking for domestication was even more of a disaster for her.

But Yan Gou'er still wanted to be tamed. Even if it was not love or had no results, she wanted to stay in the little prince's heart forever. No matter what role she became for him, it would be worth it.

Just like the fox said: She didn’t like the wheat field because it had nothing to do with her, but from then on, whenever she saw the wheat field, she would think of the little prince’s golden hair, and she would feel very happy.

After reading the entire book and turning to the last page, Yan Gouer opened his mobile phone, took a picture, and quietly changed his WeChat profile picture to the fox he had just photographed.

-

"So this is what Director Cheng said about a fairy tale suitable for all ages."

After reading The Little Prince, Li Yang sighed:

It seems that I have to trust Director Cheng from now on. I thought he was talking nonsense, but it turns out that I don’t understand~

"How much is left in stock?"

"It's sold out. All 10 copies have been sold out, and the other 20 copies are all reserved!"

Li Zhuo was extremely excited, his tone full of excitement.

She never expected that the decision she made on impulse would bear such fruit today!
It’s good to resign!
What a great idea to quit!
She looked at Cheng Cheng with eyes full of passion and admiration:
In the face of a crisis that she thought was difficult to resolve, Cheng Cheng resolved it so easily.

And it's so freehand.

With his neurotic thinking, he has perfect control over the situation!

Cheng Cheng nodded, not surprised at all:
The market performance of "The Little Prince" has been verified in the previous life.

It was published in 1943, but in the eighty years since then, it has still sold nearly 200 million copies around the world every year. It is rumored that the total sales volume is over several billion copies. In China alone, it sells more than million copies every year, second only to the King James Version of the English Bible, and is regarded as the second best-selling book in history along with Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities.

"The Little Prince" is also the novel with the most translations, having been translated into more than 250 languages ​​and dialects. In China alone, there were more than 50 Chinese translations by different translators.

So what Cheng Cheng said at the press conference was not false at all.

"Mr. Cheng, how many more copies should we print next?" Li Zhuo asked.

Cheng Cheng said: "Use half of the payment for the 30 copies to establish a charity foundation and as the first batch of charity funds, and the remaining half will be used for more printing."

The payment for 30 copies was 600 million, which means 300 million went to charity and 300 million was invested in printing.

Li Zhuo calculated and said, "So that means 60 copies?"

"Yes." Cheng Cheng nodded. "The Chinese market can absorb this volume. In addition, you can communicate with the publisher to discuss the overseas copyright of The Little Prince. I guess an overseas publisher will come to you soon."

"Okay!" Li Zhuo wrote it down in his notebook very professionally, but he was complaining in his heart: President Cheng is good in every way except that he likes to give nicknames to others.

"Then what is the nickname that Mr. Cheng gave me?" She couldn't help but think, "According to Mr. Cheng's naming rules, is it a pretty secretary? Or a beautiful and sexy assistant?"

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile inside. After the storm, and with the future full of hope, she couldn't help but feel cheerful.

"Also, the most important thing," Cheng Cheng said, "Sue all the netizens who are trying to manipulate me online this time, especially that jumping up and down Luo Ge's positive energy, we must not let him go.

It's not just the ones I mentioned. If you let your employees monitor me online 24 hours a day and boycott me or have different opinions, that's fine. This is within the normal scope of expression and is part of freedom of speech. It's something we should defend.

But those who spread rumors and slander, or use particularly dirty words, or even attack someone personally, do not fall within the scope of freedom of speech. No matter if they are minors, mothers, or old ladies in their 70s or 80s, they should all be prosecuted. It is time to clean up the Internet again.”

Li Zhuo couldn't help but gasp: "Boss Cheng, isn't this too much of a fuss?"

Cheng Cheng said: "Go ahead and do it. We are fulfilling our social responsibility."

In the Internet age, no one is isolated. Every time someone speaks on a public platform, it will have an impact on the Internet environment and even the entire society, more or less, good or bad.

Especially those internet celebrities who take bribes, they dare to say anything for money, and they definitely affect more than one person. As long as there is one person who believes in it, a seed will be planted in their mind, waiting to take root and sprout in the future.

But they are completely unaware of the impact their actions will have, or even if they do, they don't care at all.

People like this should be severely prosecuted.

"We also need to keep an eye on Xia Ming's movements, and..." Cheng Cheng added, "Please set aside your afternoon and come with me to visit someone."

Li Zhuo asked: "Who?"

When answering this question, Cheng Cheng hesitated, but finally answered:

"My grandfather."
