Chapter 95: *Children's Literature* circulation breaks record (Alliance leader added 13)
On a long bench, Wei Ming and Melinda sat side by side.
She first told Wei Ming: "When I was in the UK, I studied Chinese for two years, and then studied at Peking University for two years, but it was only a mere four years. I can understand your story, and it feels quite interesting. Yuan Gong is simply Prometheus stealing fire for humanity!"
Wei Ming: But
"But if I were to translate it, I would definitely be powerless. I am confused by many things myself and can only rely on guessing. So if you want to break into the international fairy tale market through this novel, it's best to find a translator who is well-versed in both East and West."
Wei Ming asked: "Then do you think such an oriental myth story has a market abroad?"
"Maybe, but it shouldn't be too big. Even *Havoc in Heaven* and Sun Wukong aren't very well known abroad. And I'm afraid they won't be able to understand Chinese-style magic, unless it's translated directly into magic."
Wei Ming nodded regretfully.
Melinda patted Wei Ming's shoulder: "Don't be discouraged. You are the writer with the highest talent I have ever seen. You can write novels, poems, and fairy tales. It's incredible. Also, I am now obsessed with Dansheng. Of course, the illustrations also have a lot of credit. So can you give me the manuscript for the rest? I can't wait to see it."
"Good..." Wei Ming was just about to agree when he heard movement in the bushes behind him. He thought it was Mei'er from Master Feng's house who ran out to chat with the little male cat again.
As a result, looking, good guy, Aunt Xiaoyan is leading Xi Zi and Le Le, who are covering their mouths, and ambushing behind them.
"Aunt, what are you doing?"
And Melinda also said in surprise: "Ah, Dansheng!"
Xi Zi now looks seven parts like Le Le, and seven parts like Dansheng.
Lu Xiaoyan hurriedly admitted her mistake: "Oh, your colleague didn't make it clear. If we had known you had something to talk about here, we wouldn't have come."
"It's okay, we've already finished talking. By the way, Aunt, have you finished transcribing the original manuscript of *The Tale of the Heavenly Book*? Can you return it to me? This foreign friend wants to see it."
"Yes, yes," she hurriedly agreed, "By the way, have you eaten? Call this girl to come home for a meal. Your uncle is cooking."
Melinda: "Good!"
Wei Ming: "I have to work."
Lu Xiaoyan smiled very kindly: "Oh, girl, you can come by yourself."
Like the previous life, Aunt Xiaoyan is still so fond of arranging partners for Wei Ming.
Melinda also knew this was very presumptuous, so she shook her head and refused.
"Then you guys keep talking, going now, Xi Zi, don't look."
Melinda waved goodbye to the three of them, and whispered to Wei Ming: "When you have time, bring your brother and sister out. They are so beautiful. I want to take photos with them, especially your brother."
"Another day, going now, going to work."
And it was only after Lu Xiaoyan walked far away that she suddenly remembered what she was here for. Oh, forgot to say the main thing.
Passing by the South Gate, she put the letters in her bag there and left a note.
Back home, she immediately started gossiping with Wei Ping'an.
"Old Wei, I saw the foreign girl of Little Ming. Oh my god, she's too beautiful, that red hair, that big height!"
"Calm down, how can you be like those long-tongued women, talking nonsense about things that don't exist."
"Who said it doesn't exist? If we hadn't been discovered, Little Ming would have kissed her, right?"
Xi Zi nodded, and even gestured to his sister, putting his hands on Le Le's shoulders: "They were like this at the time."
"What!" Wei Ping'an couldn't be calm either, "Editor Lu, please sit down and talk in detail."
"Let me tell you..."
After the patrol ended, Wei Ming took those letters and notes from Aunt Xiaoyan back to his room. It was too late, he didn't have time to read the letters, so he could only look at the notes.
"Little Ming: Tell you a good news, in just three days, we received thirty-six letters from Beijing, all written to you!"
Wei Ming was a bit surprised, so many?
*The Toothless Tiger* received ten or so letters, *If I Were Wu Song* had twenty or so, basically all complaining about the teacher.
Wei Ming didn't expect *The Tale of the Heavenly Book* to have such good feedback. Is it because he cut it off too wonderfully?
Continue reading.
"Many people in Xi Zi and Le Le's class have read *The Tale of the Heavenly Book*. When discussing in class, Xi Zi said he knew the story behind Dansheng, and immediately became the child king in the class. Just now he bragged for a long time, and Le Le was accompanying him on the harmonica."
One bragging, one accompanying on the harmonica. Wei Ming imagined that scene and laughed in the dark.
"Also, because the president and editor-in-chief are optimistic about the quality of *The Tale of the Heavenly Book*, the first printing was 280,000 copies, while the previous issue was 230,000. However, today we have already received feedback from comrades at Xinhua Bookstore. It is said that it is selling particularly well, and it may be reprinted later."
Hearing such good news, Wei Ming sat up from his dying illness and wrote the script for *The Toothless Tiger* for a while.
The next evening, Lu Xiaoyan found him and returned the original manuscript. Wei Ming gave her the script for *Tiger*.
"Oh, you wrote it so fast? It's only been a few days!"
"It's fast to change your own things. Let the Shanghai Animation Er Yingchang see if it's suitable. If it's suitable, send the money."
Lu Xiaoyan said: "Okay, oh, there's one more thing. The Shanghai Animation Er Yingchang sent a message saying that the script for *If I Were Wu Song* is postponed."
"What's wrong?"
"It seems there is a disagreement about what type of film to produce. Wait until it is determined before writing the script."
It should be that there will be differences in the two artistic expression forms of animation and puppet film. In the previous life, it was puppets. I don't know if there will be changes in this life. Wei Ming nodded. Next, he can focus on *Heroes Emerge from Youth*.
Passing by Shaoyuan, he ran into Little Cha, so Wei Ming entrusted the manuscript to her to bring to Melinda.
"Come in and sit down~" Little Cha teased.
Yesterday, people from the International Student Office asked her about this. She said she didn't find any conclusive evidence. It felt like the people from the International Student Office were also asking with a gossip mentality.
Wei Ming: "Little Cha, don't be like this. I'm a serious person."
Little Cha was furious. I'm also a serious girl!
When she wanted to kick Wei Ming, he had already run far away.
Cha Jianying then looked at the manuscript in her hand, and then was stunned.
This, isn't this the story of Dansheng that her little nephew is particularly interested in recently?!
No, how does Wei Ming have the original manuscript!
Cha Jianying's eldest brother was a classmate of Chen Jiangong from their class at the High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China. They were all in their 30s, and his nephew was eight. When she went home to eat yesterday, he even asked her to tell it again.
!
After returning to the dormitory, Melinda laughed: "What's so strange? This is what he wrote. Wei Shenme also has the surname Wei."
"Ah..." Cha Jianying was stunned for a long time before saying, "Then can you let me see it after you finish reading it? I want to show off in front of my nephew!"
The next day, Wei Ming and Seeing Biaozi ran to the Shichahai Sports School again. One was to return books, and the other was to see actual combat.
As a result, it was a coincidence that they caught up with the people who went to Hangzhou for the competition returning.
Wei Ming saw the people getting off the bus and asked Seeing Biaozi: "Oh, it's not a coincidence. Is Yanzi also inside? If so, let's forget it today."
Seeing Biaozi said open-mindedly: "What's wrong with that? And you have Sister-in-law Mei now."
Then Seeing Biaozi walked up to greet his familiar junior brothers, until he saw Yanzi and the man she was supporting.
Seeing Biaozi immediately opened his tiger eyes wide. Who is he!
Wei Ming hurriedly grabbed Seeing Biaozi, glanced at Donnie Yen, and then greeted with a smile: "Are you Sister Huang Jiaoyan? My ears have already developed calluses from hearing about you."
"It's me," the heroic Huang Jiaoyan was amused by him, curiously looking at the handsome and tall Wei Ming, "Are you the legendary Wei Ming? Truly a talent."
Seeing Biaozi: Stop praising him, hurry up and explain!
"Overpraised, overpraised. What happened to this classmate? Is he injured?" Wei Ming poked Seeing Biaozi, "Hurry up and support him."
"Oh, oh." Seeing Biaozi realized and hurriedly took Donnie Yen from Huang Jiaoyan's hand.
Huang Jiaoyan said: "Well, this junior brother injured his leg during the competition."
Wei Ming thought to himself, is the current Universe Dan so fragile?
After hearing this, Seeing Biaozi grabbed Li Lianjie who came down behind with a big hand, "Junior brother is injured, and you didn't even support him. Don't know how to behave."
Li Lianjie smiled awkwardly, not daring to resist his senior brother. Zhao Debiao was not his opponent in the competition, but in a fight, the other party was half a head taller and twice as thick as him. If things went wrong, he might even be double-boned. How to fight.
As for why no boys supported him, he is an American, always showing himself to be very tough. Does he need Chinese men to support him? Only Huang Jiaoyan was kind-hearted.
Donnie Yen and Li Lianjie are the same age, both 16. Who would have thought.
Wei Ming knew he had studied at Shichahai, but didn't expect it to be during this period, and it seemed that his relationship with his classmates was not handled very well.
He should be an American now, definitely not short of money. Facing such a group of young men with developed limbs, he couldn't handle the relationship well. His EQ is indeed worrying.
Wei Ming followed the crowd in: "How should I address this friend?"
"Hello, my name is Donnie Yen."
No wonder he didn't like to talk. It turned out his Mandarin wasn't good.
"Hello..." Wei Ming communicated with him directly in Cantonese. Donnie Yen felt his spirit lift. After more than a year, someone was finally willing to talk to him.
Huang Jiaoyan poked Seeing Biaozi: "Are you here to find me? Why did you bring a friend?"
Seeing Biaozi: "I came to find you, but Ma Xiaowei has other purposes."
Wei Ming was stunned: I became Ma Xiaowei?
Seeing Biaozi winked. In front of a woman, give some face.
"Yes, yes, Brother Biao is here specifically to find you, I am here to find Coach Wu Bin."
Huang Jiaoyan was curious: "What's the matter with you looking for the coach?"
Wei Ming: "Want to see Brother Biao spar with Coach Wu."
Brother Biao was suddenly panicked. Should he change back to Seeing Biaozi~
Finally, Seeing Biaozi didn't have to do it. It happened that there was a sparring match between students, so Wei Ming watched it and was disappointed. It was soft and not strong enough, basically still routines.
But thinking that the duel between real masters is decided within one or two moves, it wouldn't be too good to watch, so it's better to use imagination on the basis of martial arts moves.
This day Wei Ming and Seeing Biaozi treated Coach Wu to another meal, and of course, they called Yanzi.
On the day they returned, Wei Ming officially started the creation of *Heroes Emerge from Youth*.
Two days later, Aunt Xiaoyan hugged a bag of reader letters to find him again, and told him two good news.
"*Children's Literature* has been reprinted, and 120,000 copies have been added, breaking the record!"
