Chapter 128: The Foreign Devil Lao Zhan
On the twelfth day of the first month, Qin Feng and Lin Yang also spent time on CCTV. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
When they left in the evening, Sister Min suddenly called.
"Qin Feng, where are you? Is it convenient to answer the phone? “
"I just came out of CCTV and was about to go back, do you have something?"
"James from the British Sentry has arrived in Beijing, he wants to come to see Julian in the evening, you can also come to the house, just meet with him and communicate"
"Okay, I'll be over later, see you in the evening"
"See you back"
After hanging up the phone, Qin Feng and Lin Yang drove away from CCTV.
After returning to school and putting Lin Yang down, Qin Feng drove to Teacher Gao's house again.
Teacher Gao and Julian are at home, and Sister Min has gone to pick up her foreigner friend.
As soon as he entered the door, the little guy immediately wrapped himself up in Qin Feng, with a bright smile on his face, very happy, obviously forgetting his previous troubles.
After saying hello to the teacher, Qin Feng accompanied the little guy to play, and Teacher Gao went into the kitchen to prepare the family banquet.
As soon as he sat down, the little one immediately asked anxiously:
"Uncle Qin Feng, last night my mother said that "Harry Potter" is going to end, is it true?"
Qin Feng touched the little head melon beside him, and said with a smile:
"Yes, but it's only the end of the first part, you don't have to worry about not having a story to listen to, there will be a second, third, and even more wonderful stories about Harry Potter in the future"
"Great! When are you going to write the second part? ”
"I'll have to wait for a while, my uncle hasn't started writing the second part yet, if I do, I'll read it to you first, okay?"
The little one nodded a little disappointed and said:
"Okay!"
"Did you hear that episode? Are you done? ”
"No, I just finished the fourteenth episode last night, the Norwegian Ridgeback Dragon-Noble, uncle, why does Noble have wings? And what about the dragon in Journey to the West on TV without wings? ”
The little guy said with a questioning look on his face.
"Noble is a dragon in the West, and in Western mythology and magic stories, dragons have wings, and their image is not good, they are ugly, and many represent evil forces.
In Journey to the West, there are dragons in the East, they have no wings, and in the eyes of the Chinese, dragons are very noble animals, symbols of power, sacred beasts, and auspicious rui."
Qin Feng used the simplest language to describe the difference between the Eastern and Western dragons.
"Oh! So that's how it was."
Julian nodded understandingly.
"I'll tell you the fifteenth episode, what are you going to listen to now? Or let grandma or mom tell you before going to bed"
"Tell me about it, what you say is better than what my mother said"
The little guy said excitedly.
Qin Feng smiled and said of course! I mean cross talk, just rely on your mouth to eat!
After a little gathering of his thoughts, he began to tell the little one a story, which was so eloquent and foaming at the mouth that Julian was at times frowning and nervous, sometimes laughing, and very happy.
The harmonious and joyful scene between the two made Mr. Gao, who was busy in the kitchen, very happy.
……
At about half past six, Sister Min walked into the house with a white foreigner.
"Uncle James!"
Seeing this foreigner, Julian immediately ran over and greeted him affectionately.
James, who was clearly fond of Julian, crouched down to give the little one a warm hug, and then chatted with the little one.
At this time, Qin Feng got up and walked over.
The foreigner immediately stood up and nodded at Qin Feng with a smile.
"James, this is the author of "Harry Potter", Qin Feng, is my mother's student, my younger brother; Qin Feng, the senior editor of the British Bethlemen, James . White, is my friend in the UK."
Sister Min gave an introduction to both parties in English.
"Hello, Mr. Qin Feng, I'm very happy to meet you"
"Hello, Mr. James, I am also glad to meet you, welcome to China"
Qin Feng smiled and shook the other party's hand.
Then, Sister Min introduced Mr. Gao to James, and then took James to start visiting the house.
And Qin Feng and Teacher Gao stood at the kitchen door chatting.
Looking at James' fiery eyes that looked at Sister Min from time to time, Qin Feng whispered to the teacher:
"I heard that this Lao Zhan was also Sister Min's suitor at the beginning, looking at his performance, it seems that he is still a thief!"
Teacher Gao smiled and patted Qin Feng's shoulder.
"What Lao Zhan! Don't give people nicknames, they're called James! I don't want Xiaomin to marry a foreigner again, the cultural background is different, and there are too many problems living together! And I don't want their mother and son to leave their homeland, it's better to find a Chinese man."
"You're right! How can we Chinese musical talents let this foreign devil marry away! We can't bear it! “
Qin Feng continued to joke.
"Hehehe, you guy, run the train with your mouth full"
Teacher Gao chuckled amusedly.
These words were also heard by Sister Min, who walked back to the living room, and directly gave Qin Feng a roll of the eyes, of course, Lao Zhan could only hear it confused, and didn't understand why everyone laughed.
Qin Feng smiled and bowed to Sister Min, and went over to chat with Lao Zhan, and Teacher Gao returned to the kitchen to continue preparing dinner.
After chatting for a few sentences, we got to the point.
"Mr. Qin Feng, the Harry Potter you wrote is a very good fantasy novel, there is no comparable book in the book market at present, and we are very optimistic about the market prospect of this book."
As soon as Lao Zhan got to the point, his expression immediately became serious, making the atmosphere in the room a little solemn.
"Thank you for the compliment, I also think this is by far the best fantasy novel in the world, and I believe this book will sell all over the world."
Qin Feng said very confidently.
There is no need to be polite with these foreigners, they are used to being straightforward, and being too humble will only make them think that they are not confident.
However, Lao Zhan was still a little frightened by Qin Feng's words.
Doesn't it mean that the Chinese are modest? How can there be no trace of modesty in the person in front of you? I can only see the bursting self-confidence, and even a little arrogant.
The best fantasy novel in the world, you dare to say it!
After a deep groan, Lao Zhan spoke again:
"Mr. Qin Feng, can you tell us about the original intention of creating this novel? It can be seen that this is a completely Western fantasy novel, with a strong English literary color, and even many of its place names can be found in the United Kingdom.
This surprised me very much, and I believe that many people who read this book for the first time will say that it is a novel written by an Englishman, but it is the work of a young Chinese man like you."
Qin Feng smiled, and said in his heart that you really read it right! In the past life, this was a pearl of modern English literature.
Of course, this cannot be said, he thought for a moment and said:
"That's right, this book is a Western fantasy novel, and when I wrote it, the background was the British Isles, so you will see so many familiar place names and people's names, which is also the reason why it feels like English literature."
Lao Zhan listened and nodded, this reason can barely be accepted.
Qin Feng smiled and continued:
"As for the original intention of the creation of this novel, we have to talk about Julian,......"
Then he recounted the first time he had seen Julian.
As he spoke, Julian next to him kept his head proudly up, almost saying out loud that the book was written for me.
After Lao Zhan heard the reason for the birth of "Harry Potter", he couldn't help but be surprised and incredulous, and at the same time, he was also amazed by Qin Feng's creative ability.
He wrote such an excellent novel in such a short time!
The two chatted for a while, and the topics all revolved around the characters and storylines in the novel, and neither of the two parties proposed a version of the contract, which was a formal affair.
Soon Mr. Gao's family banquet was ready, and everyone sat down at the table together.
The British, who have eaten 'fish and chips' for decades, were immediately stunned when they saw the sumptuous Chinese food on the table in front of them, and then went crazy to sweep, and kept praising while eating.
Seeing his clumsy movements and rich expressions, everyone was amused.
Poor Englishman!
