Chapter 197

Harvey went back to Rose Manor and told count Henrietta about the Griffin orchestra. He was going to finance the Griffin Symphony Orchestra to perform "Symphony of destiny" and "Symphony No. 9" in the name of mirage entertainment company. Symphony can't be played casually. In this era, the price of a high-end musical instrument is enough to make most people shy away.

Since the phantom of the count of Monte Cristo was broadcast, it has swept the whole kingdom in a short time, and there is a trend of spreading abroad. Many cinemas have made a lot of money, and the funds are very abundant, so it is no problem to support a large orchestra. Moreover, with Harvey's understanding of symphony of fate and Symphony No. 9, funding Griffin orchestra is definitely a lucrative business.

As for why Harvey had to persuade count Henrietta to invest instead of himself, the reason was simple: Harvey had no money. All the money Harvey earned by holding shares in Mirage entertainment company has been invested in the mirage foundation. The Earl of Monte Cristo award has been set up to encourage those who dare to create mirage works. The standard is equivalent to the earth's Oscar.

Count Henrietta agreed to Harvey's request and enthusiastically asked him to stay for a day and attend the dinner he prepared. Harvey was embarrassed to refuse. Besides, he wanted to take Diana to Norton and buy some magic materials.

In the evening, after a grand dinner at Rose Manor, count Henrietta invited Harvey to his study.

"Harvey, you've helped me a lot, but now I have to be bold enough to ask you for help." Count Henrietta poured Harvey a glass of red wine, and his rich face looked very serious.

Harvey doubted: "count, I'd like to help you, but I'm not sure if I have the ability to solve the problem that you can't solve with such a noble identity."

"Of course." The count chopped off the rail: "Harvey, your humility will make me ashamed. At least in Norton, my status is no more noble than you. The royal family will give me the title of count if you want. Your name has long been well known throughout the country. The Minister of magic, Mr. Arnold, praised you very much. Princess Elinor also publicly said that she could be her adjutant at any time as long as you wanted. All of these are far more noble than a count. So I'm asking for your help as a friend this time. "

Harvey was almost embarrassed when he was flattered. After thinking about it, he nodded and said vaguely, "as long as it's within my power."

Harvey is not a fool. He can't find the north without being flattered. He doesn't mind helping if he has the same interests and is not too troublesome,

"It's just a small lift for you. Read these newspapers before I explain." Count Henrietta pushes the stacks of publications to Harvey. Harvey takes them up and scans them one by one. He finds that part of the contents of the publications are slanders and doubts about Harvey and count Henrietta. Their words are so fierce that they almost say that they are eternal sinners in the literary world of the kingdom of Baron.

"I thought I was the popular type at Norton." Harvey gave a funny smile and didn't care.

"Ha ha, your name is really very popular in the social circle. Only a few people are blinded by interests and buy their tongue." Count Henrietta said with disdain. He put his hands on the table and closed his mouth with a heavy sigh: "but even if it's groundless slander, when it passes through three people's mouths, the rumor may become a reality. Those who have misguided will join their own malice into the rumor without thinking. Even if only one person in ten believes it is true, It's a disaster for both your reputation and mine. "

"Go ahead, please."

"I am the vice president of the Literary Association. This year, when the current president leaves office, the election day for the new president is August 10. My competitor will spare no effort to discredit my reputation and be regarded as the most popular novelist in the social circle, that is, Harvey Adrian."

Harvey shrugged. "It's not that I've been on your side since you helped me publish count of Monte Cristo. How do you want me to help you?"

Count Henrietta looked very happy and relieved. He said with a smile: "ha ha, I'm glad to hear that from you. I don't need you to do anything. This sentence is enough. I firmly believe that you are more important than half of the literary world in the kingdom of Baron! As long as you're on my side, even if you're the only one, I have the confidence to defeat the despicable competitors. "

What count Henrietta wants is "potential". Harvey's "potential" in literature and society. His rival, voyne hall, has cleverly tied him and Harvey together. Count of Monte Cristo was originally an excellent novel. The appearance of mirage has promoted this literary work to the altar, which itself has aroused the dissatisfaction of many literary scholars, Then Harvey won the Bauhinia Award, which represents the highest literary level of the kingdom of Baren. Although the newly published dark age is an excellent novel, it does not meet the expectations of some literary scholars and does not have literariness.

The voice of discontent is amplified by literary publications, and then linked with count Henrietta to create the illusion of darkness, which may not cause the special ideas of the general public. The general public just know that the novel of count Monte Cristo is very good-looking and the phantom is wonderful. However, the literary world is different. Harvey's practice has affected the interests of many people. Under the leadership of public opinion, it is easy to form a single direction of public opinion.

At this time, if Harvey's new novel proves his ability, the disturbance of discrediting him will be calm at most, which will not affect the backstage man voyn hall. Moreover, if this incident is calm, some scholars' negative impression of Harvey and count Henrietta will not be eliminated.

It's a matter of position. If you stand in the wrong position, even if you know you are wrong, you need to hold on.

Count Henrietta couldn't swallow his breath, and he didn't want the storm to be settled peacefully. He was patient, and he hoped Harvey would not refute these rumors so soon.

The reason is very simple. The tighter the elastic band is, the stronger the rebound will be. Harvey's fame and count Henrietta's own strength have great room for manipulation. The more they are discredited, the worse they are beyond a certain limit. On the day when the truth comes out, they can reverse the operation, which will instantly ruin voyne Hall's reputation and slap the current trend in the literary world, Completely shut the mouth of those traditional schools.

Some time ago, count Henrietta's literary papers published in Norton's night hit all traditional schools in the face, offended half of the literary world, and completely divided their positions, causing a lot of rebound. Now he has become a critic in Norton's literary world. Under great pressure, many novelists who had close relationship with him have cut their robes and made their stand, including some novelists from new factions, which makes him very cold.

Harvey's words were equivalent to giving him a dose of cardiotonic, and his hanging heart finally fell back to his stomach.
