Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 241 Lavender

Wen Jinjiang just casually mentioned the matter of "The Snowman". Of course, he didn't really want to discuss the right to adapt the film and television with Zhang Chong.

Wen Jinjiang then mentioned Zhang Zhong's new book, "Is this new book 'Dune' a science fiction?"

Zhang nodded and said, "Well, it's science fiction."

Zhang Zhong doesn't need to say this, anyone who has seen the cover can basically guess it.

"That's a pity, I haven't made sci-fi yet. Although our domestic sci-fi films have made some progress in the past two years, the overall quality is still a lot worse than that of the United States. To say, your "A Bouquet for Algiers" "You can take a shot, after all, you don't need special effects."

Wen Jinjiang said it objectively. Huaxia's sci-fi movies have indeed made a lot of progress in the past few years, but when it comes to special effects, it is estimated that they can only reach the middle level of others.

"It's okay, take your time." Zhang Zhong was quite optimistic. As long as there is a market and capital for this kind of thing, it is not difficult to get better.

In China, not only are sci-fi movies almost meaningless, but even the sci-fi market is incomparable with Europe and the United States. For Zhang Zhong's few books, the best sellers are still detective novels.

Even though "A Bouquet for Algernon" gained such a good reputation at the time, its domestic sales still failed to surpass that of "Murder on the Orient Express", or even "The Mysterious Case of Styles Manor".

However, the situation will not remain the same. Under normal circumstances, the market always determines the content of the author's writing, but sometimes the novel written by the author can also change the market in turn.

Previously, "A Bouquet for Algernon" also caused a small wave of sci-fi fever, which not only attracted some new sci-fi readers, but also prompted many sci-fi authors to create more works.

Nowadays, in domestic bookstores, there are more and more science fiction novels.

However, "A Bouquet for Algernon" still lacks sci-fi elements, and many things cannot be reflected.

But this time "Dune" is different. Although some people jokingly say that it is a fantasy novel, no one dares to deny the sci-fi ideas in it.

"I guess I don't have time to read your new book recently, but don't worry, I will definitely support your new book when it hits the shelves tomorrow. There are quite a few people in our crew. I'll buy a few boxes later, and each person will distribute a copy. "

"Then I would like to thank Director Wen in advance."

"It's okay, just treat it as a benefit for the employees. If you really want to thank you, buy the books and sign a few copies for me to distribute. I think the staff will be crazy about it." Wen Jinjiang said with a smile.

Zhang Zhong readily agreed, "Yes, I just happen to be on the island tomorrow."

……

After watching the filming in the villa for a while, the family left the film crew and walked to Tulip Heights.

Now Tulip Heights is full of lavender and iris. Standing by the lake and looking at it, the eyes are full of purple and blue.

As soon as Pengpeng arrived at Huahai, he ran with his arms outstretched. Zhang Zhong stood by and watched, and didn't even think about chasing after him. The old couple were also indifferent.

It's getting hotter now, they don't want to sweat profusely from running, only Li Yan has been running after Peng Peng.

Looking at the sea of ​​blue and purple flowers in front of them, the three of them felt relaxed and happy.

Hu Huifang who was looking at the scenery suddenly said, "Hey, do you think that is Teacher Xu?"

Mr. Xu?

Zhang Chong looked in the direction of his mother's finger, and saw a girl in a white dress and a Panama hat drawing on the drawing board on the path of the flower field.

Looking at the back, it does look a bit like Xu Yuhan.

But he gave his mother a strange look, how did she recognize it?

The distance between the two sides is not close, and Hu Huifang has only seen Xu Yuhan twice, so she can recognize it just by looking at her back?

It's amazing.

Hu Huifang smiled and said, "Teacher Xu is different from others, you can tell at a glance, let's go and say hello."

She didn't wait for Zhang Zhong's response after all, she walked over immediately.

Zhang Zhong didn't think about it any more, and followed him.

Taking a closer look, it was indeed Xu Yuhan who was painting.

What she is painting is the scenery connecting the sea of ​​flowers and the lake. The coloring of the whole painting has been completed and the final adjustment is being made.

The three of them didn't bother, but Xu Yuhan seemed to feel their gazes and turned to look over.

Seeing that it was Zhang Zhong and the others, her eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on her face, "Uncle, aunt, why are you here?"

Hu Huifang said with a smile, "Zhang Zhong brought us here to play, Mr. Xu, are you here to sketch?"

Xu Yuhan nodded and smiled at Zhang Zhong again.

"Why didn't you see Pengpeng?"

"Pengpeng went to play with her aunt, don't you know that she never rests all day long." Hu Huifang said.

aunt?Doubt flashed in Xu Yuhan's eyes, but she didn't ask, but just smiled, "Ms. Zhang asked for leave before, so she wanted to go to Huxin Island to play. Now June is when the lavender blooms well, and it is really not to be missed."

Hu Huifang looked at Xu Yuhan's paintings, and praised with a smile, "Mr. Xu, your paintings are so beautiful. It's worthy of being produced by CAFA. It's her luck that we Pengpeng can learn painting from you."

"No, no, Peng Peng is very talented. A good student like her is much harder to find than a teacher like me." Xu Yuhan said modestly.

Hu Huifang said, "Mr. Xu, are we disturbing your painting here?"

Xu Yuhan quickly waved his hand, "No, no, I just draw casually, and this is almost done."

She said that she had already started to collect the drawing board.

Zhang Chong wanted to tell his mother not to disturb others here, but seeing his mother like this, he had a very happy chat.

Xu Yuhan put away the drawing boards and held them in her arms. Hu Huifang gave Zhang Chong a white look, "Why are you still standing there? Teacher Xu is holding such a large pile, won't you help share it?"

"No, no, I can do it myself." Xu Yuhan quickly waved his hand.

Zhang Zhong stepped forward and said to Xu Yuhan, "Leave it to me."

Xu Yuhan nodded obediently, and handed over the drawing board to Zhang Zhong.

Hu Huifang smiled with satisfaction, pulled Xu Yuhan and said, "Why didn't Teacher Xu come with your friends?"

"I'm usually in the studio, or I just go out to sketch. I don't have many friends and they are all busy, so I come out alone." Xu Yuhan replied.

Hu Huifang's smile became wider, "It's such a coincidence that we met this time, if Teacher Xu has nothing else to do, let's have a meal together at noon."

Xu Yuhan didn't agree immediately, but looked at Zhang Zhong.

Seeing that his mother was so enthusiastic, Zhang Zhong also invited, "Since we met by fate, let's have a meal together."

"Ah."
