Chapter 420 Entering Overseas
After being tired and crooked at the stairs for a long time, Chu He and the two went upstairs.

Upstairs, Aunt Xiao was wiping Director Liu's face, and Director Liu kept waving his hands: "I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk... Where's that kid Chuhe? Why don't you dare to fight with me?"

This man, he lost all face when he was drunk.

Aunt Xiao was so angry that Director Liu had already quit drinking, but today, in order to pretend to eat Chuhe's food, he insisted on drinking Moutai, and went crazy again.

"Be honest with me, I don't have time to serve you." Aunt Xiao wiped Director Liu's face with a hot towel, turned around to go downstairs, but saw Chuhe and Liu Zhiqing.

Liu Zhiqing was still blushing a little, she always felt that she had fallen, and she was ashamed facing her mother—it was all Chuhe's fault!
"Zhiqing, Chuhe, what are you doing here? Don't worry about Lao Liu, he's committed another old problem." Aunt Xiao smiled and loved her daughter and son-in-law very much.

Director Liu turned his head and spit: "Chuhe, come here, I want to clean you..."

He almost couldn't sit still when he said that, Chuhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and went to help him: "Director Liu, you should clean up after you sober up."

Aunt Xiao next to him wanted to curse again, but Liu Zhiqing pulled her away: "Mom, Dad likes to speak his mind when he's drunk, let him speak."

"Okay, okay, Lao Liu can't beat anyone anyway." Aunt Xiao let Chuhe chat with Director Liu, and went downstairs with her daughter without disturbing Chuhe and Lao Liu.

Although director Liu was more irritable when he was drunk, he was quick to talk and said whatever he wanted. In fact, he still admired Chuhe a little bit, and started to praise Chuhe after clamoring for a while.

"Chuhe, let me tell you, your culinary skills are amazing. I have a friend who owns a restaurant, and you will be the head chef when you go."

"Your book is also good. What is it called Hailai? I read it all night yesterday."

Director Liu kept talking, focusing on storytelling: "However, the domestic literature market is not mature enough and has no authority. Take a look, anyone who writes a book wants to win the Baiyun Award from the Yankees..."

Chu He was taken aback, Director Liu actually chatted with him about literature?It's against the law to see him so drunk.

"That's called the Nebula Award for Science Fiction and Fantasy Literature." Chu He explained.

This award was founded by the American Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association, and it has the supreme authority in the global fantasy novel field. It is also called a double award with the Hugo Award, which shows its background.

The Nebula Award for Global Chinese Science Fiction Literature that Chuhe previously won was actually established based on this award. I didn't expect Director Liu to know about the Nebula Award. He is a cultural person.

"Yes, yes, the Nebula Award, you won the Nebula Award for Chinese, and it didn't open the door to the world, so you can't do it, little brother, look at you, you have no money, no honor, how can I marry my daughter to you? "Director Liu shook his head and patted Chu He's shoulder while reeking of alcohol.

Chuhe's heart moved, Director Liu hinted at this nakedly.

In fact, Director Liu has already figured out Chuhe thoroughly. Chuhe's biggest trump card is his book. The animations, online dramas, and movies he is making money now are all based on his books.

So Director Liu has studied science fiction literature, so he naturally knew about the Nebula Award.The Nebula Award has a lot of face, much more face than a billion.

Just imagine, my son-in-law is a well-known international writer. Although he is a little poor, he won't lose his price if he talks about it.

This is a matter of face, and people like Director Liu are good at face.

"Hic!" Director Liu hiccupped, his eyes too drunk to keep his eyes open: "I won't tell you anymore, I want the Yankee's trophy, you bring it to me, and I'll have a bright face when I tell it later. "

After he finished speaking, he tilted his head and fell asleep on the recliner.

Chuhe laughed, Director Liu must have been in the underworld when he was young, right?I can't wait to reach into the Yankee's crotch to grab other people's trophies.

Chu He also thought about it himself, can "Poetry and the Sea" win the Science Fiction and Fantasy Nebula Award?

At the beginning, Liu Qiang said that he would help "Poetry and the Sea" develop overseas markets, but he doesn't know how it is now.

Chuhe didn't think about it for the time being, pulled the quilt on Director Liu, and went downstairs lightly.

Downstairs, Liu Zhiqing's mother and daughter were holding hands and chatting. They looked very harmonious, and there was no longer the previous barrier.

"Chuhe, you're down, come and sit, and sleep at home tonight." Aunt Xiao wanted to keep someone, and Chuhe naturally wouldn't refuse. It was rare for Liu Zhiqing to take the initiative to go home, and she had to stay for one night.

The three chatted together, and Aunt Xiao also mentioned "Poetry and the Sea".

"Lao Liu has been secretly reading your book recently, saying that he wants to see if you have real materials. Don't look at him with a hard mouth, but he is soft in his heart. He is also from a mud-legged background, and he is not so arrogant. Anyone who If there are advantages, he will appreciate them." Aunt Xiao knew her husband very well.

Chuhe nodded: "I'm quite surprised that Director Liu actually asked me to win an international award, saying that I have a long face."

"That's right, that's right, he didn't pass the college entrance examination back then, and he has been brooding all his life. He likes literati very much, and he likes you." Aunt Xiao praised, and Chuhe's ability to write books is a highlight.

Chuhe was humble for a while, and paid attention to this matter.

That night, he stayed at Liu's house and was arranged to sleep alone in a luxurious bedroom.Liu Zhiqing wanted to sleep with Aunt Xiao, so she couldn't do anything tonight.

Chuhe didn't intend to play tricks, so he called the editor Liu Qiang.

Liu Qiang was overjoyed, and the whole person was happy: "Mr. Chu, is the sun coming out from the west?"

He and Chuhe are old friends, and they joke casually.

Chuhe smiled: "Liu Qiang, I think you are very energetic, and you are very affectionate with the president? When will you have a child?"

"Don't talk about it, that tigress beats me every day..." Liu Qiang was full of happiness, "Mr. Chu, get down to business first."

Chuhe stopped joking and asked about "Poetry and the Sea" going overseas, which has been going on for several months.

"Mr. Chu, you are very competitive and want to win an international award. Don't worry, things are going well. We have already talked with the "Street Lamp" magazine two months ago, and Ma Ruiran, an internationally renowned Chinese translator under their banner, will translate "Poetry and the Sea I" will be released in English in the United States at that time, so that it can participate in various science fiction literature awards in Europe and America." Liu Qiang said it relatively simply, and Chu He was a little confused.

"Street lights? What is the specific operation?"

""Street Lamp" is the overseas English version of "People's Literature". It was founded in the 60s and has a lot of influence abroad. Ma Ruiran is an Australian Chinese who is committed to translating excellent domestic works. He is also the editor-in-chief of "Street Lamp". "

Liu Qiang explained, and did not forget to praise Chuhe: "Ma Ruiran had several translation tasks on hand, but after reading "Poetry and the Sea", he immediately decided to devote himself to the translation work of "Poetry and the Sea". At present, three-quarters of it has been translated. He said that as long as the essence is translated, "Poetry and the Sea I" can be nominated for the Nebula Award!"
