The rolling hills and countless verdant pastures accompanied Zhang Chu and the others all the way, and today they were going to the small town of Matamata, a place specially designated by Zhang Chu himself.

Koman doesn't think there's anything special about this town, although there are no traces of modern life such as roads and cables, but it really has a lot to grab here in the North Island of New Zealand.

However, the boss asked, and he had to agree to anything, and if he was rich, he was the uncle!

"I don't know if the Alexander family's ranch is willing to sell it. ”

The land here is owned by its owners, and when they came in they saw the emblem of the Alexandrian family.

After hearing Zhang Chu's words, Anmi said in surprise: "Why did you think of buying land here?"

"Don't you think this is the best place to recreate Hobbiton? New Zealand's natural beauty is so good, and now that inflation is rampant, it's good to buy a piece of land as an heirloom. ”

Zhang Chu said half-truthfully, he was actually not sure of the specific location of Hobbiton, and he could only find out that it was located in this town in the Savior system.

Standing on top of a hill with his phone on video, the place seemed to be a real recreation of Middle-earth, and as the original author and producer, it wasn't hard to convince Universal Pictures for good reason.

It's just that these words have not been spoken, and now there is an outsider called Koman, and Zhang Chu is not ready to expose himself.

Koman is indeed a China expert, he can hear that Zhang Chu's idea of buying land just now is true, and he is secretly surprised in his heart at this moment, writing books really makes a lot of money, and the land that often costs tens of millions of New Zealand dollars is not blinked at all when he says to buy it!

The scenery is picturesque, the mountains and rivers are vast, but there are no huts, mills or terraces that require the scenographer and prop master to work before the film is made.

Zhang Chuke is not going to make these buildings a one-off, but plans to really build it 100%, so that it is very good whether he plays it himself in the future or keeps it for a sequel.

Although "The Lord of the Rings" will be filmed three times in one go, there is also a "Hobbit" that no one knows, and when this book comes out, it will still be filmed around the world.

It is like a quiet and beautiful paradise, with a stream nestled in the hills and flowing quietly, and cattle and sheep grazing leisurely in the distance, full of pure and charming pastoral style!

"Mr. Andrew is still waiting for us, they have prepared a lot of food. Coman looked at his watch and reminded, "It's not early." ”

This stop was finalized by Zhang Chu with the travel company before coming to New Zealand, and they came forward to help Zhang Chu contact the people of the Alexander family, so that he could drive around in other people's ranches, otherwise even if he trespassed into the territory, he didn't know why he was killed.

Zhang Chu is not ready to have a showdown now, he plans to wait until he leaves to find a real estate agent to help communicate with Andrew Alexander.

The location of Matamata Town is not remote, probably because it was colonized by the British, and there are many cities here whose names are named after British cities, such as Cambridge and Hamilton, and there will be tourists here from time to time, so Zhang Chu is not conspicuous. It's only a two-and-a-half-hour drive from Auckland, so it's close.

After putting his phone away, he beckoned to the rest of the people: "Let's go, let's go back to Andrew's house, there is no signal here." ”

This project is to experience the life of the ranch, just one day, they will go to herd sheep with the sheepdog later, the activities are quite colorful.

Sun Ruiqi took off the leather clothes on her body, "It's hot to death, this ghost weather." It's cold in the morning, it's so hot at noon, and it's cold again at night. ”

"Be careful, don't catch a cold. Yang Ling said with concern on the side, "I heard that it is very troublesome to treat a cold abroad." ”

There was no road on the hill, so they had to go down roughly where they had just come from.

Zhang Chu opened the driver's door and sat down, fastening his seat belt by himself, but An Mi patted him on the shoulder from behind: "Do you know the road? Do you know the compass?

The Alexander family's ranch is not very large, 700 hectares is only an average area, but there are no road signs in it, and newcomers have to rely on a compass and a simple map.

In order not to delay everyone's time, Zhang Chu silently unbuckled the seat belt and said to Koeman: "It's better for you to drive, I'm afraid that everyone will be deviated." ”

Although Coman is also a first-time visitor, he has the necessary ability to read the map, and even has some wilderness survival, first aid knowledge, etc.

The price of a guided tour is not for nothing!

"OK, let's go!"

The car ran over the green grass and headed southeast, and after about three minutes they saw the road that had been run over by the car for a long time, and it was really not mistaken.

Koeman continued to drive, while Zhang Chu looked at it silently, secretly planning in his heart, if this ranch was to be bought, it was estimated that it would cost more than 10 million New Zealand dollars.

Usually people who come to New Zealand to buy ranches are the kind of animal husbandry and dairy companies, Zhang Chu wrote a book, planning to buy 700 hectares of large pastures, this cross-border is a bit big, he is thinking about whether to re-register a company!

After a while, a pointed red roof appeared above the horizon, and as the car got closer and closer, the white walls were revealed, and at this time, their mobile phones finally had a signal.

"Wangwang"

The barking of the shepherd dog can be heard clearly, and the Western-style barbecue buffet feast is in full swing on the English villa with the singing of birds and flowers.

The winding path weaves through flower-filled gardens, and the owners of the ranch greet them with golden songs.

Zhang Chu has to admire the advanced consciousness and innovative spirit of these ranchers, although they are mainly grazing, but they have all kinds of conditions for tourism, almost all tourists who come to New Zealand have to visit the ranch!

A self-service barbecue in the open-air garden is a picturesque day with the farm's own beef and mutton, New Zealand's unique wines, and fresh fruits and vegetables from the garden.

Before Zhang Chu could take two bites, his mobile phone rang, which forced him to put down his plate and get up and walk to the edge of the garden.

"Uncle Zhou, why did you remember to call me? Is there something urgent?"

Zhou Kang, who was far away in Yanjing, finally calmed down after hearing Zhang Chu's voice, "I called you three times just now, but this user is not in the service area, I thought you pulled me into the blacklist or something happened, if I can't get through this time, I'm going to call your satellite phone." ”

"Absolutely literally, I'm in a ranch, there's no signal over there just now, just say something, I'll listen. ”

"Alas, your ability to toss the news is too strong, and you can be searched for when you travel in New Zealand. Zhou Kang sighed, he really thinks that Zhang Chu has a hot search physique, and he didn't want to search for it on the Chinese Bridge program, and now he can leave a note paper for readers to become popular all over the world.

Zhang Chu was dumbfounded, and he replied innocently: "I didn't do anything here, I just posted a selfie on Weibo, is it because my photo is too handsome? ”

He didn't use his mobile phone to surf the Internet much today, and he didn't know about the Internet storm that came out of Reddit, and he missed a good show!

When he said that there was no signal on his mobile phone, Zhou Kang also understood, so he took the initiative to explain: "Did you leave a note for a reader in the bar last night?"

"How do you know?"

Zhang Chu wondered how Zhou Kang, who was far away in Yanjing, could know that he wrote a note in a hotel in New Zealand and sandwiched it in the physical book of "The Lord of the Rings".

Could it be that he damaged something in the hotel, and as a result, the hotel sought compensation through passport information, and then found that he could not be contacted, and finally became a transnational scandal?

In the end, he writes a book, and his ability to spread his thinking is very strong, and he accidentally fills up hundreds of thousands of words in his brain.

He hurriedly asked, "Uncle Zhou, is this good news or bad news, give me a good time!"

"Good news. That reader posted the note and story on Reddit, and now there are countless followers, and netizens say they want to meet such an author. This news is no longer as simple as a post, from the media in New Zealand to the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany and our own country, it is all reported. You're really lucky, you kid can come across anything good. ”

"I see, it scared me!"

Zhang Chu was finally relieved, it was not negative news, but he was afraid of any scandal.

Zhou Kang went on to say on the phone: "Thanks to this news, Random House has decided to carry out large-scale reprinting in various English-speaking countries, and at the same time, publishing companies in other countries are also contacting us, and English is not the first language in every country. ”

"Oh, you can do all these business things. I'll hang up if there's nothing to do, I'm making a barbecue here, and the best steaks are almost gone. ”

Zhang Chu watched Coman and Anmi eat deliciously, and he couldn't help but move his index fingers, and he was still a little tired from visiting various activities in the ranch during the day.

"Don't, don't, there's another important thing. The engineers on the side of Google Translate have asked us for something, and the note you left doesn't have Elfish in it? Netizens use Google Translate to find that they can't recognize it, and now they are scolding them on the Internet! I hope that you will solve this unwarranted disaster caused by you, and they want to get a thesaurus of Elven script, so that they can make a simple and mechanical translation of Elf. Are you going to license these thesauries, or do you want to keep them for yourself?"

accidentally pitted Google, the Internet giant, Zhang Chu didn't know what to say, this angle is really tricky!

He replied, "Of course it's given to them, and a language is hidden and tucked away, and of course the more people who use it, the better." I have stored the elven thesaurus and characters in the network disk.,I'll send you the content later.,You can help me transfer it to them.。 ”

This is not to pretend to be mysterious, but to feel more after there are more people.

"Okay, I'll see if Google can use this to send a notification, it's good for them, and it's good for you. ”

It's impossible to give money, Google Translate is a free service, but a lot of things can't be measured with money!

Every move of a large company like Google is a global attention, if they use elf translations to show their efficiency, it will definitely not be able to bypass Zhang Chu, at least they have to give a detailed introduction to what this language and text are all about, and at the same time focus on Zhang Chu's free thesaurus and so on.

This is the practice of brokerage companies and brokers, let Zhang Chu sing red face, and they will sing white face.

Zhang Chu hung up the mobile phone call, and then looked for his stored thesaurus in the network disk, which is not only the vocabulary and dialogue involved in "The Lord of the Rings", but also many words he imitated the English dictionary, and many of the contents will not be in it.

If there is one more person who can learn elven literature, then they can use this language in their daily conversations.

After sending it, he put the phone back in the pocket of his coat and walked towards the oven, filling his internal organs.

Anmi turned the steak on the grill over with a tong, and after the sound of the oil splash, he brushed the seasoning, and the aroma came to his face, "What happened again, look at you so happy." ”

"You'll find out when you look at your phone later, I've helped Google solve a big problem!"

"What's the trouble you need to solve Google?" Anmi obviously didn't believe it, "it couldn't be your G-mail reminding you to change your password or something." ”

Zhang Chu estimated that the steak was already seven years old, so he clamped it up, "Of course not this, Google Translate needs my elven thesaurus." ”

"Tsk, it seems that yours is really popular! Even Google Translate has to pay attention to it, I have never heard of a writer's own language that can enjoy this kind of treatment!"

Anmi's favorite thing is to quarrel with him, Zhang Chu pretended to be proud and said: "Only then did you know that "The Lord of the Rings" is on fire, and the global sales have exceeded 10 million. If you open Twitter or Reddit now, you can still see the behind-the-scenes stories about the Lord of the Rings. ”

"To be honest, I think it's really fantasy? It doesn't feel like there's any magic in it, it looks like the ancients were fighting, but there are a few fantasy races. If you replace elves, dwarves, and orcs with people from different countries, it is not abrupt at all. ”

Some people like it, some people don't like it, Zhang Chu will never force anything.

He cut the steak with a knife and fork, and after sending a small piece to his mouth, he gave Andrew a thumbs up, the meat is good, and it is delicious no matter how you make it!

Anmi estimated that he had eaten almost enough, so he took out his mobile phone seriously, ready to see what Zhang Chu had made a name for himself.
