This is not the first time Chen Xiao has come to France.

As early as last year, Chen Xiao won the Crystal Award at the Annecy Animation Festival with the animation "Hiring Life".

Speaking of which, Chen Xiao was really happy when he got this crystal award, and until now, this trophy is also very well protected.

And this is also the only time Chen Xiao won the Annecy Animation Festival award, although the cat and mouse won several awards, and even won the Oscar, but they have never been able to win the Annecy Animation Festival.

But it's a pity now, the time of the Angxi Animation Festival has long passed, otherwise Chen Xiao really wants to be broadcast in the open air, which is also very good.

As for now, Chen Xiao is preparing to participate in the International Writers' Exchange Conference.

Originally, Chen Xiao would have thought that it was like a Kyushu party, everyone sat together and said whatever they wanted, and if there were any questions, they just asked.

But that's not the case at all.

First of all, this writers' exchange is not in the middle of Paris, but in the foothills of a slightly remote mountain.

Yes.

Not only on the side of the mountain, but also water, and a small river just passes through it.

There are mountains and rivers, and this is a more poetic and comfortable place.

And this place is not only poetic, but also has a futuristic feel.

That's right, this is actually a smart micro-Suzhou R&D base.

On the first night, writers from all over the world sat in the open-air courtyard of the R&D base, under the shadow of the trees.

And that night, the organizer also scripted an award.

Of course, only a certificate of honor was awarded, and only three people received the certificate.

Writing is a very difficult thing, especially a good book, it is normal for a book to be written for several years, so there are not many works that the organizer participates in.

Fortunately, among these few works, Chen Xiao's "The Lord of the Rings" gave Chen Xiao a certificate.

Although Chen Xiao wrote "The Lord of the Rings" at that time, it was more in line with the reading habits of Chinese people.

But obviously, it wasn't until the book was published abroad that it really began to shine and became more popular than at home.

In China, perhaps because of his fame and other reasons, it sells well every month.

But abroad, Chen Xiao is really not too famous, and the sales of this book can be so good, or it depends on the book itself.

This has to be said to be a very interesting thing.

Maybe this book is a bit unsuitable in China, right?

After Chen Xiao took the stage, a veteran writer on the stage as the host introduced: "Chen Xiao, an excellent writer who is not yet 30 years old, not only wrote the masterpiece "The Lord of the Rings" at this age, but also "Romance of the Gods" and "A Chinese Ghost Story" are very popular in China.

When I first saw the book "The Lord of the Rings", I thought that the author of this book must be a wise man of no small age, but when I learned about Chen Xiao, I was surprised, but in comparison, I was more looking forward to what kind of masterpiece he would have. ”

After complimenting him casually, the man asked, "Chen Xiao, are you participating in the exchange meeting this time because you want to prepare a new book?"

It's not that you have to have a new book to prepare to be able to participate in the writers' conference, but many people are like that.

Chen Xiao said: "First of all, I am very grateful to the organizer for giving me affirmation, I did encounter some difficulties this time, I am writing a book on the theme of magical realism recently, I am very happy to be here, I believe I can have a good inspiration here." ”

"Magical realism?"

After Chen Xiao finished speaking, there were some reactions from the audience, not because this classification was too out-of-the-way, on the contrary, the popularity of magical realism is now rising.

They were a little surprised that because Chen Xiao was the previous one, the award-winning work was the theme of magical realism.

This made them a little surprised.

Is it now the trend of magical realism?

To be honest, magical realism does not seem suitable for people of Chen Xiao's age.

But times are changing.

Magic and magic are not the same, and now, more young people are already interpreting magic with their own ideas.

However, Chen Xiao thinks that this writers' exchange meeting should not be in vain.

Immediately afterwards, the organizer also prepared a program, and after the program, as a prelude to the salon, the base also prepared a light show for everyone.

On the engineering base, on the slightly sloping mountain, the huge micro-Suzhou space capsule is as striking as the remnants of alien landing.

It's only relative to say big.

If this is a house, it is still very miniature again.

"Foreigners really know how to play?"

Chen Xiao had to sigh, and then he was told that he was going to live here at night.

"Hah, that's a good experience. ”

The light show is based on the background of the space capsule, and then through the surrounding illumination of lights, the surrounding trees, flowers and plants, as well as the backdrop of the mountains, are lit up and integrated into the sound and image.

How do you describe the scene?

That's Ambilight, and then add the impact of technology.

Chen Xiao didn't feel so shocked at the scene, but it was quite beautiful, with a dreamy sense of romance.

Of course, even if Chen Xiao thinks it's quite romantic, he won't say that he will spend money to buy one.

Then there is really money and nowhere to spend it.

At this time, someone also introduced: "Our space capsule is made of rigid steel frame and aviation-grade environmentally friendly materials, with automatic control systems and entertainment and living facilities, it can break through complex terrain, do not need to lay foundations and is very environmentally friendly, and now there are a lot of orders, are tourist areas in various countries......"

See?

People's customers are tourist areas.

This time, they were specially invited to visit, and it was indeed just a friendship with the landlords, not to promote their own products.

Then came the Writers' Salon.

When it came to the writers' salon, although the environment became higher and the participants became more high-end, it was actually a nature of the Kyushu party.

In comparison, it is more efficient to gather in Kyushu.

However, the atmosphere here will be more comfortable, and everyone will relax as soon as you turn it over.

It can be said that there are pros and cons.

Although the Kyushu party is like a local group in comparison, and the writers' salon here is like a high-end venue in a big city, in fact, the essence is the same.

However, since it is an exchange session, Chen Xiao is still experienced, and he has been busy for a day, so he is waiting for this time.
