Chapter 215 The Influence of Cultural Symbols

A few days later.

Bob Dylan’s comments on "Harry Potter" and the preface he wrote personally were handed over to the Golden Dawn Publishing Group, and Ms. Hassan immediately began to deploy the task.

"Boss, are you right?" A middle-aged man couldn't help asking.

"Of course it's true. The preface to the book release of Harry Potter was written by Bob Dylan." Ms. Hassan looked around the crowd.

One stone caused a thousand waves!

Everyone present was extremely surprised, of course they were more incredible and excited!

"My God~ That's Bob Dylan!"

"Yes, although he can see him release new music records every year, he is too low-key and hardly accepts media interviews."

"Last time, he wrote a foreword to other writers' works. It was 10 years ago. We were so lucky."

Everyone in the publishing house whispered to each other.

"Good luck? Indeed." Ms. Hassan whispered.

Bob Dylan is a very personal little old man, even in the face of many big people, he is not humble;

When unhappy, he even shakes his face at them.

In 2012, Bob Dylan was invited to attend the inauguration party for the re-elected President of the United States.

At that time, *** walked to him like a fan, reaching out for a handshake.But Bob Dylan dismissed it. He said, "I can't shake your hands today because I will use these hands to paint later."

In the face of the President of the United States, he is still so urinary!

On another occasion, *** held a concert to commemorate the American Human Rights Movement at the White House and invited Dylan to sing. Dylan was still maverick. Not only did he not participate in rehearsals, he was not even interested in the photo session with the president and his wife on the day of the concert. .

"If he does something else, then he is not Bob Dylan."

***The only interaction between the two is the courtesy handshake.

When watching "Forrest Gump", many people were deeply attracted by the song "The Answer Gone in the Wind" sung by singer Jenny.

"How many times does a person have to look up to look up at the beauty of the sky."

The questions accompanied by the groaning of the guitar seemed to grab everyone's hearts in an instant.

When people were amazed at the deep political meaning behind the melody and lyrics of this song, no one seemed to have expected that this would come from a young boy (the song was written in 1962).And this person was Bob Dylan who later had a huge influence on American folk music, poetry and literature.

"If Michael Jackson is the representative of American pop music, then Bob Dylan is a cultural symbol of the United States and a symbol of the culture of the times!"

Now, he personally writes the preface for the book "Harry Potter", can you say that everyone at Jin Shuguang Publishing House is not surprised?

Very shocked!

...

In fact, when Bob Dylan's preface for "Harry Potter" was published in the media, it immediately caused a sensation!

"God! It turned out to be Bob Dylan!" a young girl exclaimed while holding a newspaper.

Could she not know Bob Dylan?

You know, since 1981, Bob Dylan's articles have been published in the compulsory textbooks of American middle schools, and they are two at a time.

What is this concept?

It is like a student of the Great Heaven Dynasty, who is generally influential in reading the poems of Li Bai and Du Fu.

Of course, Bob Dylan may be far less influential than Li Bai, Du Fu and others, but the influence among American students is extremely powerful and terrifying.

On this day, many elementary and middle school students, even college students in the United States, have seen the preface of this "Harry Potter".

"What kind of story is "Harry Potter" that allows Dylan to preface him himself?"

"Yes, you have to know how many writers and publishers in the United States want Dylan to take action.

"I have to say that I became interested in the book "Harry Potter"."

"Yes, me too."

"We can buy it then, after all, even Dylan loves it."

.......

Apple Inc.

CEO Jobs pushed his glasses, and repeatedly checked the contents of the newspaper.

"Humph!"

"Zuke Wald, this bastard, is a little capable, can he ask Dylan to write a preface for the book published by his publisher?!"

"Damn~!"

Jobs's tone was unbelievable, and there was also a little jealousy.

As we all know, Jobs is Dylan's loyal fan brother!

Pixar Animation went public successfully, and Jobs held a celebratory cocktail party and invited Dylan to participate, but Dylan didn't have him, which made Jobs very sad as a fan.

Jobs admired Dylan very much, even to the point of pursuing Dylan's ex-girlfriend.

When Jobs was still in college, he broke up with his girlfriend at the time, just to date Joan Baez.At that time, Jobs was in his twenties and Joan Baez was in his early forties, and there was an age difference of nearly 20 between them, and Joan Baez was Bob Dylan’s ex-girlfriend.

"Is "Harry Potter"?" Jobs murmured, startled.

.......

Viacom Group.

Redstone, the owner of Viacom Group, the parent company of Paramount Pictures, although he is very old, he is also a fan of Bob Dylan.

"Who said that I am old and lack energy? You know I listen to Bob Dylan's folk and rock songs every day. His singing tells me that I will always be 30 years old, no, always 18 years old. Boy!"

This is what Summer Redstone often said.

At this moment, Lei Shidong put down the newspaper in his hand and dialed the phone on his desk.

It didn't take long for the call to be connected.

"Ms. Shirley Lansing, this is Redstone. Regarding the end of the cooperation with Wald Pictures, please arrange someone to focus on it."

"Yes, that's right!"

"Especially the book "Harry Potter", you must check it out. To know its preface, Dylan wrote it himself."

.......

Bob Dylan, he is a contemporary American cultural symbol and a symbol of the times. As soon as his preface came out, all citizens of the United States immediately became agitated.

Don't doubt, he has such an influence!

To this day, both Zhuke and Ms. Hassan feel very lucky. Dylan's shot really cheered Zhuke.

Especially Dylan's influence on American elementary and middle school students and upper class society is unparalleled.

In addition, UPN TV network, WB TV network, major American media that collect money, including major bookstores that cooperate with Golden Dawn Publishing Group, are frantically promoting the first book of "Harry Potter".

Time flies...

August 3.

On this day, the first book in the Harry Potter series, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", is officially on sale nationwide!
