For Phyllis, Lu Shi is very responsible,

For students of London politics and economics, he occasionally flickers a sentence or two, but on Phyllis's side, he adheres to the principle of seeking truth from facts, knowing is knowing, and not knowing is not knowing.

Fortunately, literature and art are not separated,

The word experience has its corresponding genre in performance, and in literature it is the word "true feelings".

It was a fruitful afternoon.

Dale wants to pay for the land hours,

Lu Shi waved his hand,

"Phyllis knelt for me just now, why am I embarrassed to take your money?"

Phyllis's little face turned red.

She put her hands in a triangle and "cast a spell" on the landing, chanting for a while: "Forget it...... Forget about it...... Forget about that......"

The other three were all amused by Phyllis.

Lu Shi said: "Mr. Dyer, there are other reasons for not taking your money. One is that Phyllis is the heroine of "Roman Holiday", she is very suitable for the role of Princess Anne, it can be said that she made "Roman Holiday", and I want to thank her. ”

Phyllis was muttering about Lu Shi just now, but now he has a smiling face,

Well, Professor Lu is still very pleasant to speak.

Dale opened his mouth as if to say something,

But Lu Shi didn't give him a chance to be humble.

Lu Shi continued: "Second, I won't participate in the grinding after Phyllis, so why am I embarrassed to ask for compensation?" ”

Phyllis:!!!

Her face is like a June day, she changes when she says it, and her smile disappears.

"Won't be involved anymore?"

Dale on the side said "um" and said, "Professor Lu is an experiential person, and he told me to let you experience more, get in touch with different people and different professions, and if possible, it's best to experience those professions firsthand." ”

Lu Shi took over the conversation,

"This kind of thing, Mr. Dale can arrange it. As for me......"

He pointed to the typewriter on the desktop,

"I still have to pay for the wild words I just spoke~"

It's a joke,

Natsume Soseki and Dale laughed at the same time.

Phyllis puffed up his face in annoyance, and said, "It's not a wild talk!" Professor Lu, the novels and poems you write are so powerful, and the drama is even more popular, and the professors at Cambridge can't compare to you! ”

The girl looked excited.

Her father looked at her strangely, wondering what was wrong with her daughter today, why her mood changed so much,

Is it the aftermath of the learning experience?

Studied but cannot comprehend.

Lu Shi asked, "Phyllis, have you read my novels and poems?" ”

Phyllis nodded repeatedly,

"I've seen it!"

In fact, she first came into contact with "Roman Holiday", and then rewatched "No One Survives",

But Lu Shi's poetry girl can recite it backwards.

She was worried that Lu Shi would not believe it, so she said with great eagerness: "Professor Lu, I like your "Answer" the most!" 'Meanness is the pass of the mean, and nobility is the epitaph of the noble. 'It's so well written! ”

This paragraph is memorized in a correct and round manner.

Lu Shi saw that Phyllis had a tendency to get more and more excited the more he spoke, so he quickly pressed down with his hands and soothed: "Okay~Okay~ I know~"

Phyllis also realized his gaffe,

Her face flushed, and she staggered her gaze,

"I'm afraid you won't believe me."

Lu Shi waved his hand,

"How could I not believe you? If you study acting hard and accumulate acting experience, one day, you will become the core actress of a drama by virtue of your acting skills. When the time comes, I will definitely go to the show. ”

Phyllis's face lit up,

"What about you...... Then you can write me a poem then. ”

This is a good request, but it is a bit excessive.

Dale frowned,

"Phyllis!"

However, Phyllis, who had always been obedient, didn't seem to hear his father's scolding, and just stared straight at Lu Shi.

Lu Shi smiled and nodded,

"Yes."

As soon as these words came out, Phyllis was relieved.

Dale thanked him again and again when he landed,

Regardless of whether Lu Shi is willing to fulfill his promise in the future, treating Phyllis like this today is quite face-saving.

Lu Shi sent Dale's father and daughter to the door and said goodbye to them.

The two got into the carriage,

In a short time, the carriage disappeared at the end of Blaya Road.

Lu Shi returned to his room and sat down in front of the typewriter again, thinking about his bet with Cavendis.

Natsume Soseki asked, "What are you going to do with "Roger's Mystery Case"? You wouldn't want to hide such a good book, would you? ”

Lu Shi said: "Of course it will be published, and tomorrow I will find time to send it to Mr. Wood of the Royal Publishing Bureau." However, it is up to me to decide what this fantasy novel is about, and what I want to write ...... Do you want to make something special? ”

Natsume Soseki couldn't help but be speechless for a while.

However, when he saw that Lu Shi was so relaxed and freehand, he knew that Lu Shi already knew it, so he asked, "What have you thought of writing?" ”

Lu Shi shook his head,

"Nope."

Natsume Soseki struggled to resist the urge to roll his eyes,

"Then you are still sitting on the Diaoyutai?"

Lu Shi said: "It's not that I haven't thought about it, but I really have too many ideas, and I don't know which one to choose." ”

Natsume Soseki really rolled his eyes this time, and complained: "I shouldn't have asked this more, asking you is too much of a blow to self-confidence." Forget it, I'll write my own book. ”

As he spoke, he sat aside and continued to work on "I Am a Cat".

Lu Shi fell into deep thought,

The first thing he ruled out was Harry Potter,

As a fantasy work, there is no best-selling series of novels in the world,

But the problem lies in the background of the story, which takes place in modern London, where there are too many things such as subways, planes, cars, and phone booths, which are difficult to modify.

Lu Shi could write it out, but it would take too much time and effort.

After that, Lu Shi screened out "A Song of Ice and Fire",

It is undeniable that this epic work has received a huge bonus because of the TV series, but even if you only look at the novel itself, it is a very competitive existence, otherwise it would not have been able to have such high sales.

The reason why Lu Shi didn't write it was because of the special way of writing "A Song of Ice and Fire"-

POV。

Point-of-View, a point-of-view character writing technique, is described in a narrative mode that alternates the characters' third-person viewpoints to move the story forward.

This style of writing is not suitable for serialization.

So, in the end, it was Tolkien's "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" that remained.

But is it necessary to move out this kind of mass murder weapon as soon as it comes up?

Cavendish is going to cry......

Lu Shi scratched his head,

"Well, there's nothing to hesitate about. Just send him a good one. ”

He typed down the name "The Hobbit" with a typewriter.

This novel is actually a fairy tale, and if you read the original book, you will know that Tolkien writes the writing style in a fresh and immature manner, and the plot is joyful and exciting, causing the whole story to look like a dwarven adventure.

Moreover, it is not very long,

Lu Shi translated it, and it was translated into Chinese with no more than 100,000 words.

Unexpectedly, "The Hobbit" was a big hit, and the publisher wanted Tolkien to write a sequel, but could not write any more fairy tales,

Tolkien, as a professor of linguistics at Oxford, was of course able to take it into his own hands in literature, and turned those childlike words into epics for adults to appreciate.

The shocking Lord of the Rings trilogy was born.

Lu Shi thought deeply and decided to change "The Hobbit" into fantasy literature for adults.

Of course, there are some parts to consider,

Because of the influence of the originator of fantasy "The Ring of the Nibelungen", there are many hints of racial reference in "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings".

Lu Shi, as a Chinese, is impossible to mess around,

Must be modified!

And then there are some settings, which have to be cut out from other books by Tuo Lao.

Lu Shi typed the beginning on the keyboard:

"There's a hobbit living in an underground cavern......"
