The Great Era of Rebirth: 1993

  Chapter 478, BBC interview (please subscribe!)

  Rowling's new house was beyond Zhang Xuan's expectations, and it was better than he imagined.

   is a small villa with a garden.

   Walking around the two-story villa, Zhang Xuan asked Tao Ge, "How do you feel about this house?"

  Tao Ge said with admiration: "Very good, you and Lilith can buy a building like this here, quiet and safe.

  The most important thing is that the room is enough. "

   Zhang Xuanmiao understood what she meant: "Don't worry, I will definitely leave you a room."

   Seeing that he is so knowledgeable and interesting, Tao Ge is very satisfied: "Sister Shu didn't hurt you in vain."

  Rowling was busy in the kitchen as soon as she got home. Knowing that Zhang Xuan loves to eat steak, she was well prepared this time.

   stood behind Rowling and observed for a while, Zhang Xuan found that the woman's craftsmanship was much better than before.

   Tao Ge snorted and sneered: "As expected, love can easily change a person."

   Zhang Xuan: "..."

  Tao Ge remembered something, and suddenly asked: "The pair of sisters in my family, which one do you like?"

   Zhang Xuan walked out of the kitchen, grabbed the sofa and sat down and said, "Don't guess, I didn't think about that at all."

  Tao Ge sat across from him and looked at him with a look of disbelief.

  Zhang Xuan thought about it, did not hide it, and briefly explained the matter of Seagate.

  Tao Ge was a little moved, a little admired, and sighed: "This is the purest love, which is hard to find in the world. Seagate treats you like this without expecting anything in return. It's a blessing from your previous life."

   Zhang Xuan was silent.

  Tao Ge said seriously: "If you don't plan to be with her with such a woman, try not to hurt her."

   Zhang Xuan was calm for a few seconds: "I know."

  Tao Ge said: "I have to find a chance to meet Seagate after returning to the capital."

   Zhang Xuan instructed: "You are familiar with the capital, try to help me take care of her."

  Tao Ge said: "Don't worry, just love her so much, my sister won't let her be bullied."

   Zhang Xuan said again: "Cheng, I will be relieved if I have you."

   Tao Ge had a whim: "Would you accept Seagate without Shuangling and Mijian?"

   Zhang Xuan leaned against the sofa: "How can there be so many ifs in the world?"

   Tao Ge said, "Sister just curious?"

"should be."

   Zhang Xuan said quietly: "But without Shuangling and Mi Jian, this world means nothing to me."

   Seeing his solemn expression, Tao Ge joked: "It's not fair for you to treat the girl who likes you like this."

   Zhang Xuan said: "How can this world be so fair?"

  Tao Ge nodded: "Yes, but also know how to restrain, not over-inflated.

   In fact, my sister has always felt that with a girl like Shuangling accompanying you, your life is worth it, and it is really worthwhile.

   Of course, I can also understand your feelings towards Mijian, but you still have to restrain yourself. "

   Zhang Xuan sighed: "If only you would be more serious with me in the future, my body can't handle it."

  Tao Ge pulled his hair down with his right hand, just kept laughing, turning a deaf ear to his words.

   Zhang Xuan rolled his eyes and closed his eyes for a nap.

  Rowling's craftsmanship has really improved a lot, Zhang Xuan ate three big steaks this time before giving up.

   After eating, the three of them went for a walk in the garden, and then sat around on the stone bench to chat when they were tired.

   Zhang Xuan and Rowling have been discussing the sequel to Harry Potter.

   Tao Ge saw that the two were talking about business, but did not talk to each other the whole time. Instead, he listened quietly on the side, his eyes wandered between the two, but he mostly stayed on Zhang Xuan.

   After witnessing this scene with his own eyes, Tao Ge finally understands why Rowling respects and loves Zhang Xuan so much?

   This is completely hands-on teaching!

  Story teaching, outline teaching, character and conflict are all explained clearly...

   When the two people in the middle were resting, Tao Ge handed them coffee and asked, "This is the storyline of the third Harry Potter movie?"

   Zhang Xuan was busy drinking coffee and had no time to answer.

  Rowling put down the pen and said, "Yes, with his help in perfecting the outline of the story, I can finish it in about half a year."

   Tao Ge reminded Rowling: "You need to buy a mobile phone to facilitate contact."

   Hearing this, Rowling looked at Zhang Xuan happily.

   Zhang Xuan glanced at Tao Ge, "If you don't understand, you can call me and ask me, but I prefer the letter method."

  Rowling said: "I also have a soft spot for letters."

   After drinking coffee, Zhang Xuan and Rowling continued to discuss the details of the third Harry Potter film.

  The two chatted eagerly and a little bit lost their minds, and it didn't end until 12:00 in the morning.

  Rowling enthusiastically kept the two of them staying at her house for the night, but Zhang Xuan refused.

   Leaving Rowling's house, Tao Ge looked around through the rearview mirror while driving, his whole body tense and his concentration highly concentrated.

   Zhang Xuan looked outside and asked, "Is the security here so bad?"

  Tao Ge said: "No, but after all, I am in a foreign country. I usually don't go out after 8 pm."

   Zhang Xuan nodded and helped observe the surroundings.

   Smooth all the way.

   When the two got home, Liao Yun, Lilith and Xie Qi were still watching TV in the living room.

   Seeing the two come back, Liao Yun and Xie Qi greeted each other, turned off the TV and went back to the room.

  Lilith followed him into the bathroom and hugged him from behind, "I thought you were going to sleep at that young woman's house tonight."

   Zhang Xuan muttered: "Unless I am blind."

  Lilith winked at him in the mirror: "When the lights are turned off, is it different?"

   Zhang Xuan said: "I can't talk even if I turn off the lights, it's not my thing."

  Lilith was very satisfied with this, and probed his cheeks to kiss him.

   Zhang Xuan asked: "Are you going to sleep with me tonight?"

  Lilith shook her head: "I'll go back to my mother's room later."

   Also, Liao Yun takes care of the two during the day, so Lilith will naturally not make it difficult for her mother to do it again.

  The two of them rubbed their ears and slept together.

   The next day, the weather in London changed, it was windy and rainy.

   After breakfast, Zhang Xuan and Tao Ge joined Rowling and went to BBC TV to record and broadcast the program.

   As a person twice, Zhang Xuan was interviewed for the first time and came to this kind of studio for the first time.

   is still a little curious.

   The hostess was about 30 years old, with blonde hair and blue clothes. When she saw Zhang Xuan and Rowling enter the venue, she stood up and said hello.

   "Hello, good morning, I'm billie, nice to meet you."

   "Hello, good morning, I'm SanYue, nice to meet you."

  “…”

   The three greeted each other and took their seats.

   There were some people sitting under the stage.

   Zhang Xuan didn't pay attention at first, and passed by after a glance.

   But when he sat on the red sofa and looked down, he was stunned. There seem to be many celebrities below?

   But he can only name three people, British pop singer Sheena Easton, Sophie Marceau, Givenchy.

  Why is Sophie Marceau here?

   But he looks really good and fits the aesthetics of the Orientals so much that the old man looked at him more.

   And the old man of Givenchy, when Zhang Xuan looked at him, he was half-waving and smiling.

  Yes, Zhang Xuan followed with a smile as a courtesy.

   "Wow, I knew March was very young and handsome, but I didn't expect to be so young and so handsome..." This is Billie's opening remarks.

  Zhang Xuan greeted everyone with great grace.

   is a guest from afar.

  billie first introduced Zhang Xuan: "March is 21 years old and comes from China.

   At the age of 17, he began to write "Wind Sound".

   At the age of 18, he quickly became famous in China due to the book "The Sound of Wind" and became a millionaire in three months.

   Having written four books so far, "The Wind", "Led", "Harry Potter" and "Clockwork Girl", he is a talented and prolific writer. "

   Rowling was introduced later.

   After introducing Rowling, Billie asked Zhang Xuan: "At the age of 17, why did you think of writing? Is it because life is difficult?"

   Damn, this **** is digging a hole!

   Although it was because of the difficulties in life, I started to write.

   But in a foreign country, how can I admit it?

   It's a matter of face.

   Zhang Xuan replied calmly: "No. My family conditions were not very good since I was a child, but it was not bad.

   Writing is to earn some pocket money to buy good clothes and shoes, and to be close to the girl you love. "

   The following burst of laughter.

  billie asked: "Have a girl you love?"

   Zhang Xuan did not shy away, and teased himself: "My heart begins to mature, and there is a beloved girl at every stage."

  This is a panacea.

  billie was laughed at by him.

After    two questions, the interview went to the main topic.

  billie asked the two: "How did you meet?"

  Rowling glanced at Zhang Xuan and said, "It was a rainy day. I ran into him in the morning when I went to the City Hall Library to look up materials as usual."

  billie asked: "A rainy day is a very romantic day. How did you feel when you first saw March?"

  Rowling recalled: "It was a little cold. When we met, he gave me a blank look, and then went back to the business at hand."

  billie turned around and asked Zhang Xuan: "March, what was your impression of Rowling at that time?"

   Zhang Xuan replied: "Eye contact, I don't think she is very confident, but she doesn't care too much."

  billie then asked: "Then how did you notice the less confident Rowling?"

   Zhang Xuan had already prepared: "I came to the UK at that time mainly to find information, to find magic information.

  In an accidental moment, I found that Rowling was also looking for magic information, so I paid attention. "

  billie asked: "You were planning to write a book about magic?"

   Zhang Xuan said: "Yes, the original idea is this."

  billie asked tightly: "Why did you give up later?"

   Zhang Xuan said: "Because I met Rowling and thought she was very talented, I shared my thoughts with her."

  billie praised: "It's amazing."

   Billie then asked Rowling, "How did you guys get along?"

  Rowling said: "By a coincidence, the two of us fell in love with the same information book.

   When I stretched out my hand, he happened to stretch out his hand too, and he took the book away.

   But he seemed to see what I was thinking, pretended to look through it, put the book back on the shelf quietly, and took another book at random. "

  billie smiled: "Wow, what a gentleman."

   asked Rowling, "Are you tempted at that moment?"

   Laughing from below.

  Rowling was a little shy, but nodded: "I've grown up so much, and I've always had a low self-esteem. Few people take care of my emotions like that."

After talking about    all the way, Rowling sold Zhang Xuan completely, how to take it, how to send Rowling to her house.

During the    process, the young woman fearlessly expressed her love.

   When it comes to creating Harry Potter.

  Rowling said generously: "I was stuck in the bottleneck of writing at the beginning, and I was at a loss. I didn't know how to write the next story?"

  billie asked: "At this time, it happened in March to help you solve this problem?"

  Rowling said: "Yes, after he read my draft, he took the initiative to share his thoughts with me, instructing me on how to write, how to improve the storyline and plump characters."

  billie asked her: "How did you feel after hearing March's thoughts?"

  Rowling said truthfully: "I can't believe it, I'm very shocked, it turns out that the story can still be written like this, it turns out that the magical world can be so grand.

   I was very embarrassed at the time, I felt a little dwarfed by him. "

  billie asked, "Why would you give it to Rowling to write it, when you have a perfect outline?"

   Zhang Xuan crossed his hands on his abdomen and talked eloquently: "First of all, I read her draft, and it felt pretty good.

   Secondly, in the communication process, I think Rowling is a very gifted writer, just lacks self-confidence.

  Of course, the reason why I gave up writing magical stories by myself is because there are too many stories in my head, and there are too many topics I want to write about, and I can’t take them into account. "

  billie asked: "Like Clockwork Girl?"

   Zhang Xuan nodded: "Yes, I was torn between writing magic books first or writing science fiction books first.

   But after getting to know Rowling, well, I can write science fiction with peace of mind. "

  billie asked him: "I have read reports that Rowling's previous life was very difficult. Did you entrust her to write the story for this reason?"

  Zhang Xuan pondered for two seconds and said, "We have an old saying in China that you need to be hard to strike iron. If Rowling does not have such talent, it will not impress me.

   And she is a kind person, I think a kind person must be rewarded with kindness. "

   There was thunderous applause from below.

  billie asked the two: "What's the secret to Harry Potter's success?"

  Rowling looked at Zhang Xuan.

   Zhang Xuan said softly, "You answer and let me rest."

  Everyone is happy.

  Rowling thought for a moment and said, "Honestly, I don't know. This is the question I get asked the most, and worst of all, it's hard for me to answer.

  Because I felt Harry Potter was my little private world in the beginning, no one read a word during my year of writing.

   During that time, I didn’t know how to write well? Still not good? Until his appearance, until the appearance of March...

   I didn't believe it when I finished writing it. It was March who encouraged me. At that time, I never thought that Harry Potter would be so popular.

   So, I can't tell you how unexpected this is for me..."

  billie asked: “Where do you guys get your inspiration from, there’s a pattern to these stories.

Again, an abandoned baby who grew up in someone else's cupboard and was bullied by another boy - uh, where did this start, but I don't want to say 'formula', but the inspiration, the context, the how? Formed from your own mind? "

  Rowling looked at Zhang Xuan.

   Zhang Xuan did not slack off this time, because he perfected the outline.

   He replied: "It's interesting that the Harry Potter story came into my mind almost completely during my conversations with Rowling.

   I could see very well, I could see this skinny black-haired boy with a strange scar on his forehead, I knew right away that he was a wizard, but he didn't know it himself. Then Rowling and I started setting his background.

   Well...that's...that's the tone of the story.

   He's a magical boy, but doesn't know he's a wizard yet, so I'm thinking, 'How could he not know? ' You know, so we worked backwards along that point, like the story was already there for me to discover it.

and…

  Well, in my opinion, the most unassailable explanation for his ignorance of being a wizard is - his parents were deceased wizards, and he was raised by Muggle-non-magical people..."

   Next, the three discussed more than a dozen big questions about the characters in the book.

  According to the script, Billie asked questions, Zhang Xuan and Rowling answered alternately, and played freely.

  Harry Potter just published the first book, just a little thing, after the chat.

  billie asked again: "On August 10th, the second Harry Potter book will be released.

   I heard that the second part has gone beyond the scope of the novel and reflected many practical problems.

Is it right? "

  Rowling said, "Yes."

  billie asked: "What's the problem?"

  Rowling sells off: "It's all in the new book."

  billie smiled and looked at Zhang Xuan: "Your "Clockwork Girl" is now popular all over the world, and the sales data exploded again and again, breaking records every day, and breaking through the original expectations of Penguin Publishing in just 9 days.

  So what is the sales forecast for the second part of the new book "Harry Potter" in the first month? "

   Zhang Xuan stretched out a finger.

  billie exclaimed: "God! Is this ten million copies?"

   Zhang Xuan said confidently: "At least 10 million copies."

  billie couldn't help applauding: "It's amazing."

   Then she looked at Rowling maliciously: "Today's interview is about to end, so in the face of your beloved mentor, is there anything you want to say to him?"

   Faced with this question, the young woman Rowling was a little shy. After hesitating for a while, she finally gathered up the courage to look at Zhang Xuan and said:

   "Can you hug me?"

   Zhang Xuan: "..."

   Applause from below!

   Damn, they are all rude people.

   Facing Rowling's expectant eyes, Zhang Xuan seemed to be at ease, stood up graciously, walked over graciously and hugged her.

  Rowling said, "Thank you."

   This is not easy to answer, the old man just gave a smile.

  Well, I regretted it after I posted it, and I agreed to change the time, then, forget it, that's it.
