The Great God of Net Wen was reborn in 1927

The bad start to the day with Miss Linda Black as a novel seemed like something ominous.

Professor Watson and Ms. Lu Huaran firmly believe that the essence of book publishing is determined by the quality of the novel.Platinum Publishing House's additional requirements for "The Great Dao of Immortal Journey" are too rude, so it is natural to choose other booksellers.

But both of them obviously forgot that there were so many best-selling books in the beginning, but no one cared about them.For example, in the current period when the Chinese anti-Chinese sentiment is strong in the United States, the publishing house, which is essentially a businessman, is not willing to take risks for a Chinese author.

Even though they all admit that this is a very good novel, they have contempt for people of color in their bones. Even if they lament the talent of Qianfengmingyue, they still have to add a sentence with pity and arrogance: "It's a pity, why is the author a yellow race?" , even if it is Japanese or Korean, why is it a Chinese."

As an intermediary, Professor Watson beautified the words a lot and did not pass on the original words to Shaoting and Shen Lingjun.

In the end, he also suggested to Shaoting and Shen Lingjun: "It's better to choose an English name. As for the author behind the English name, whether it is a white man who has studied a lot of Chinese history and culture, or just a Chinese, I leave it up to the readers to guess."

"Besides, the consideration of the publishing house is unreasonable." Professor Watson said, "Changing to an English name does not reveal which country you are from. After all, the more books you sell, the better. The money in your pocket is the most real. .”

"According to the old saying of you Chinese people, why care about these false names?"

He is no longer a naive and ideal child, and the real interests are far more important than others.

It's not that Shao Ting doesn't understand this point, but he also doesn't naively think that if he puts on an English name and hides behind, everything will be safe.

"There are also thousands or even tens of thousands of Chinese students studying in the United States." Shaoting explained to Professor Watson, "The Great Way of Immortals is a novel that was published in Shanghai and became popular for a while. It was exposed behind the English name. It’s just a matter of time for a Chinese yellow-race author.”

"At that time, how should I deal with the issue of the author's nationality? Will readers feel cheated, and the anti-Chinese sentiment will become more serious? How should I deal with myself at that time? How should I face my compatriots in my own country?"

"It takes thousands of lies to make up for one lie." Shao Ting said, "Professor, thank you for helping me contact the publishing house, but if I can't use the original author's name and recognize my nationality, then this It doesn’t matter if the book doesn’t come out.”

The matter of publishing the book was put on hold, and Lu Huaran was a little worried that the young man would be arrogant if he was so talented.

I found time to enlighten and comfort me, but I saw that the genius author was like a normal person, and she and her son Shen Lingjun went out every day to find interesting places to have fun.

Lu Huaran himself has a job, so he observed silently for a while, seeing that these two people are very close, they don't need to work when they are stuck together, and the two sons and brothers are not short of money.

She came back late from get off work one day and poured water in the kitchen. Seeing that the light in the guest bedroom was still on, she wanted to knock on the door and enter the room for a chat.

Standing in front of the door, I realized that the two hadn't closed the door tightly. Through the distance of slaps, I saw her only son, who was only a few centimeters away from 1.9 meters, leaning on the bed and sitting on the carpet. His height and shape were there. It is easy to wrap the whole person in his arms.

The beautiful oriental boy was nestled in his arms, Shen Lingjun's pale and thin chin was resting on the dark, fluffy black hair of the person in his arms, the two were reading a book, Shen Lingjun translated for him in a low voice.

"Our Lord in heaven, may your kingdom come and your will be done on earth as it is in heaven..."

His voice deliberately slowed down, and his gentle and low voice penetrated into the ears of the cat-like teenager who was lazily leaning on him.

He was actually reciting excerpts from the translated Bible.

Lu Huaran watched quietly for a while, then quietly closed the door, consciously not interrupting the quiet time between the little lovers.

It's just that when she returned to the room, she couldn't help but think that she felt a little itchy in her heart, and it seemed that it was time for another relationship to add some sweetness like honey to the unchanging life.

It was also speechless to think that she and Professor Watson were worrying too much. It is good for young people to suffer setbacks, but they have more heart-filled feelings to fill in the negative emotions caused by this setback.

Young is so good.

Lu Huaran thought, if she was 20 years younger and could meet a desperate true love, why would she care about gender and the gap.

But she wrote in her diary today:

But only young people will regard the relationship that is opposed by everyone and everyone can clearly see that it is a wrong way as true love.

If there are not enough unfavorable, thorns and ups and downs, how can this relationship be so ups and downs and painful that it seems unforgettable?

The more difficult it is to go on and the feelings full of ups and downs, the more it will give people the illusion that this is true love.

Looking back ten years later, how many people can still admit that it was true love, not something ridiculous when they were young and ignorant?

It was many years later that Shen Lingjun knew what his mother had written in her diary about the relationship between him and Xu Shaoting.

His mother's enlightenment lies in not interfering with the choice of the only child, but his mother actually refuses to believe in the existence of true love from the bottom of her heart.

Although I gradually recognized the relationship between the two of them later, I still said: "On the road of love, men are always more risk-taking than women. Even if they step on the wrong road, it is not too late to turn around."

"But for women, I think it's best not to pursue true love too much and believe in love."

Lu Huaran sighed and said, "Scholar's procrastination, you can still talk about it. Women's procrastination, you can't talk about it."

--

After staying in the United States for more than half a month, I explored the nearby streets and Chinatown, ate various Shanghai restaurants and Guangzhou restaurants in the United States, and tasted various local and improved versions of restaurants from various countries.

Although the days of doing nothing are comfortable, I still feel that I should find something serious to do after a long time.

Lu Huaran thought that the two of them would be sons-in-law forever, but one day they saw them come back with a typewriter made in Taiwan.

She thought that the two of them would have to study for a while, but she saw that Shaoting was typing fast, but Shen Lingjun had to practice for a while.

"Why are you so proficient?" Shen Ryan asked curiously.

Xu Shaoting said: "It doesn't matter how proficient you are, you can only type in English."

He thought in his heart that if Pinyin became popular, he would be able to write [-] words a day with this typewriter.

Handwriting is far less efficient than keyboarding, but the story he prepared this time was not long. Before writing, he told Shen Lingjun that it was a fantasy story with about 20 words.

Shaoting and Shen Lingjun selected the journal for this story, which is a local New York reading magazine for college students.

The protagonist of the story is set to be a 19-year-old freshman, a shy but kind-hearted Caucasian boy who is mostly sunny and cheerful.

Hearing that Shaoting wanted to set a white person as the protagonist, Shen Lingjun was quite surprised: "You want to use a white person as the protagonist?"

"Localization is inevitable." Shao Ting said, "Listen to me and continue."

This white boy is blond and blue-eyed, but he is dependent on others, and his parents died young.

Shen Lingjun interrupted again: "It's a classic beginning, shaping the protagonist's tragic childhood experience, and the author is a veteran at first glance."

Shaoting couldn't help covering his mouth and protested: "Listen to me!"

Shen Lingjun rolled his eyes with a smile, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, you continue to talk."

The beginning of this story is no different from everyday life. He lost his parents in childhood, but otherwise he is still an ordinary white boy in every way.His life is probably going to an ordinary university, finding an ordinary job after graduation, and dating a similar girlfriend.

Then get married and have children, keep busy with work, earn a decent salary but basically spend on children and family.

Everything turned on an ordinary day, the roommate who loves to play went to a social activity, and the protagonist was just preparing for the review before the exam in the dormitory.

As soon as he turned off the light in the middle of the night, he was strangled by the mysterious man, and the smell of blood behind him declared that the comer was not good, but he was like a chicken caught by an eagle, without any ability to struggle.

But this mysterious man did not take his life, but injected him with a strangely colored potion.

At this point, Shaoting took the initiative to ask Shen Lingjun: "What do you think of the beginning?"

Shen Lingjun replied: "You continue to talk, at least for the time being, you are still willing to listen. Is this injection just to make the protagonist fall asleep? Or is it some kind of addictive drug to control the protagonist for a certain organization?" work?"

"It's a potion that allows people to mutate their genes and gain superpowers." Shao Ting replied, "This is a novel about urban supernatural powers."

If he hadn't read enough books, Shen Lingjun would not be able to react: "I know about genetic mutations, knowledge about biology, what are superpowers? What is the theme of urban superpowers?"

"Superpower is..." Shaoting thought for a while, "After the protagonist was injected with medicine, he found that his jumping ability surpassed that of ordinary people, and he could easily jump five or six meters high. The added effect is that he can rely on With this bouncing ability, you can climb from the flat ground against obstacles as a springboard, and climb from the outer wall to the top of dozens of stories of high-rise buildings attached to the wall in a few minutes."

At this time, Shen Lingjun had already begun to feel the imagination of Shaoting, so he continued to say: "The protagonist has also obtained super high speed and infinite strength."

"What is this?"

If Shen Lingjun just thought that the beginning was okay, then he has already developed a great interest in this story, especially in these various abilities.

Shao Ting originally thought that urban supernatural novels would not be a very popular subject in a hundred years, so he didn't consider writing this type of novel when he was in the Shanghai stock market.

But after coming to New York, he saw that the high-rise buildings had already taken shape, and he naturally thought that it would be a very suitable soil for the serial release of novels of this kind.

The popularization of electricity in the second industrial revolution, the advancement of modern medical technology, the invention of antibiotics, the development of various biological experiments, and even Einstein's theory of relativity have begun to write the first draft...

Is there a better opportunity than this that is more suitable for the emergence of the theme of urban abilities?

Today, the two young people nestled in the room, chatting enthusiastically all morning about the prequel of the novel "Urban Hero" that became popular in the United States, and the various settings of "A Hero Is Born" with only about 20 words.

At that time, Xu Shaoting, a writer from Huaxia, was just planning to bridge this boring time and try his hand at college students' reading magazines to understand the market's acceptance of the subject matter.

It is far from knowing that this ordinary day in history will become a multiple-choice question for students to take the literary history exam a hundred years later.

At this time, Shen Lingjun is still waiting for the birth of the novel Chapter 1, and then considers how to choose appropriate words as proper nouns to translate those settings.

But immediately before the novel was born, the white lady they had met once came to the door in person.

It was Lu Huaran who opened the door that day, and it was just around seven o'clock in the morning. Looking at the energetic Miss Linda outside the door, Lu Huaran was very surprised: "How do you know that I live here?"

The Caucasian lady replied very bluntly: "When treating guests, at least let me in first, don't you think so?"

"Can an uninvited guest be counted as a guest?" Lu Huaran laughed.

Linda said: "I didn't come to see you, I just wanted to talk to Qian Fengmingyue about the contract of publishing the book "The Way of the Great Dao" with Qian Fengmingyue in my own name."

Lu Huaran showed an even more surprised expression.

Linda continued to say calmly: "I have left Platinum Publishing House, and now I have established a publishing house that I fully control."

"And I am willing to publish his novel "The Way of the Great Dao" under the original pseudonym of Qianfengmingyue and as a Huaxia native."
