Exciting 1979!

Chapter 95: "Children's Literature" Circulation Breaks Record

On a bench, Wei Ming and Melinda sat side by side.

She first told Wei Ming: "I studied Chinese for two years in the UK and studied at Peking University for two years, but it was only four years. I can understand your story and I think it is quite interesting. Yuan Gong is simply Prometheus who stole fire for mankind!"

Wei Ming: But

"But if you ask me to translate it, I'm definitely incapable of doing it. I'm confused by a lot of things myself and can only rely on guesswork. So if you want to enter the international fairy tale market through this novel, it's best to find a translator who is well-versed in both Eastern and Western cultures."

Wei Ming asked: "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 are not well known abroad. And I'm afraid they can't understand Chinese magic unless it is directly translated into magic."

Wei Ming nodded regretfully.

Melinda patted Wei Ming on the shoulder and said, "Don't be discouraged. You are the most talented writer I have ever met. You can write novels, poems, and fairy tales. It's incredible. Also, I am now obsessed with Dan Sheng. Of course, the illustrations also deserve a lot of credit. So can you give me the rest of the manuscript? I can't wait to read it."

"Okay..." Wei Ming was about to agree when he heard some movement in the bushes behind him. He thought that Master Feng's Mei'er had come out to flirt with the little male cat again.

When they looked over, they saw that Aunt Xiaoyan was ambushing behind them with Xizi and Lele, who were covering their mouths.

"Aunt, what are you doing?"

Melinda was also surprised and said, "Ah, Dan Sheng!"

Xizi now looks 70% like Lele and 70% like Dansheng.

Lv Xiaoyan quickly admitted her mistake: "Oh, your colleague didn't explain clearly. If we knew you had something to talk about here, we wouldn't have come over."

"It's okay, we've finished talking. By the way, Auntie, have you finished copying the manuscript of The Book of Heaven? Can you give it back to me? This foreign friend wants to read it."

"Sure, sure," she agreed hastily. "By the way, have you eaten yet? Invite this girl to come over for dinner. Your uncle is cooking."

Melinda: “Okay!”

Wei Ming: "I have to go to work."

Lu Xiaoyan smiled kindly: "Oh, girl, you can do it yourself."

Just like in her previous life, Aunt Xiaoyan still likes to find a partner for Wei Ming.

Melinda knew that this was very presumptuous, so she shook her head and refused.

"Then you guys continue chatting. Let's go, Xizi, stop watching."

Melinda waved goodbye to the three of them and whispered to Wei Ming, "Take some time to bring your brother and sister out. They are so beautiful. I want to take pictures with them, especially your brother."

"Let's do it another day. Let's go to work."

After Lu Xiaoyan walked away, she suddenly remembered what she came here for. Oops, she forgot to talk about the main business.

When she passed by the South Gate, she left the letter in her bag there and left a note.

When she got home, she immediately started playing with Wei Ping'an.

"Lao Wei, I saw Xiao Ming's foreign girl. Oh my god, she's so pretty. That red hair and that tall stature!"

"Calm down. Why are you like those gossipy women, talking nonsense about things that don't exist?"

"Who said she disappeared? If we hadn't been discovered, Xiao Ming and her would have kissed each other, right?"

Xizi nodded, gestured to her sister, and put her hands on Lele's shoulders: "That's how they were at the time."

"What!" Wei Ping'an was also not calm, "Editor Lu, please take a seat and tell me in detail."

"Let me tell you..."

After the patrol, Wei Ming took the letters and notes from Aunt Xiaoyan back to his room. It was too late and he had no time to read the letters, so he could only read the notes.

"Xiao Ming: I have good news for you. In just three days, we received thirty-six letters from the capital, all addressed to you!"

Wei Ming was a little surprised. So many?
"The Toothless Tiger" received more than ten letters, and "If I Were Wu Song" received more than twenty letters, most of which were complaints about the teacher.

Wei Ming didn't expect that the feedback for "The Magic Book" would be so good. Was it because his way of breaking the chapters was so perfect?

Keep reading.

"Many people in Xizi and Lele's class have watched The Magic Book. When we were discussing it in class, Xizi said he knew the story behind Dansheng, and he immediately became the class leader. He just played for a long time, and Lele accompanied him."

One was bragging and the other was playing the harmonica as accompaniment. Wei Ming imagined the scene and laughed out loud in the dark.

"Also, because the president and editor-in-chief are optimistic about the quality of The Book of Heaven, the first print run is 28 copies, while the previous run was 23. However, we have received feedback from Xinhua Bookstore today, saying that it is selling very well, and we may have to print more copies later."

Upon hearing such good news, Wei Ming sat up in shock from his dying illness and continued writing the script of "The Toothless Tiger" for a while.

The next evening, Lv Xiaoyan found him and returned the manuscript, and Wei Ming gave her the script of "Tiger".

"Wow, you wrote it so quickly? It's only been a few days!"

"It's faster to modify your own stuff, and let the Shanghai Animation Film Studio see if it's suitable. If it's suitable, then pay the money."

Lu Xiaoyan said, "Okay. Oh, there is one more thing. The Shanghai Animation Film Studio sent a message saying that the script of "If I Were Wu Song" has been put on hold."

"what happened?"

"It seems that there are still disagreements about what type of film to make. I will write the script after it is determined."

It should be the difference between the two artistic forms of expression, animation and puppetry. I was a puppet in my previous life, and I wonder if there will be any changes in this life. Wei Ming nodded, and he can concentrate on making "Heroes Come From Youth" next.

When passing by Shaoyuan, Wei Ming met Xiao Cha, and asked her to give the manuscript to Melinda.

"Come in and sit down~" Xiao Cha teased.

Someone from the International Students Office asked her about this yesterday. She said that she had not found any conclusive evidence and that she felt that the person from the International Students Office was just gossiping when he asked her about it.

Wei Ming: "Don't be like this, Xiaocha, I'm a serious person."

Xiao Cha was furious, but I am also a decent girl!

When he wanted to kick Wei Ming, he had already run far away.

Only then did Cha Jianying look at the manuscript in his hand and was stunned.

Isn't this the story of the birth of an egg that my nephew has been particularly interested in recently? !

No, how come Wei Ming has the original manuscript!

Cha Jianying's elder brother and Chen Jiangong from their class were classmates at Renmin University High School. They were both in their 30s and his nephew was eight years old. When he went home for dinner yesterday, he asked him to tell the story again.

After returning to the dormitory, Melinda laughed and said, "What's so strange about that? This is what he wrote. Wei is also called Wei."

"Ah..." Cha Jianying was stunned for a while before saying, "Then after you finish watching it, can you let me watch it too? I want to show off in front of my nephew!"

The next day, Wei Ming and Biaozi went to Shichahai Sports School again, one to return the books, and the other to see actual combat.

As luck would have it, the people who had gone to Hangzhou for the competition just came back.

Wei Ming saw people getting off the bus and asked Biaozi, "Oh, what a coincidence! Is Yan Zi also in there? Why don't we just forget about it today?"

Biaozi said generously: "It's nothing, and you already have Sister Mei now."

Then Biaozi walked up and greeted the familiar fellow disciples until he saw Yan Zi and the man she was supporting.

Biaozi's eyes immediately widened. Who is he!

Wei Ming quickly grabbed Biaozi, glanced at Zhen Zidan, and then greeted her with a smile: "You must be Sister Huang Qiuyan, right? You have callused my ears."

"It's me," the heroic Huang Qiuyan was amused by him and looked at the handsome and tall Wei Ming curiously, "You are the legendary Wei Ming, you are indeed a handsome man."

Biaozi: Stop praising him and give him some explanation!
"Thank you for the compliment. What happened to this student? Is he injured?" Wei Ming nudged Biaozi and said, "Hurry up and help him."

"Oh." Biaozi suddenly realized and quickly took Zhen Zidan from Huang Qiuyan.

Huang Qiuyan said: "Well, this junior brother injured his leg during the competition."

Wei Mingxin said, is the cosmic pill so crispy now?

After hearing this, Biaozi grabbed Li Lianjie who was coming down from behind with a big hand and said, "You didn't even offer to help your fellow apprentice when he was injured. You are ignorant."

Li Lianjie smiled awkwardly, not daring to resist his senior brother. In the competition, Zhao Debiao was no match for him, but in a fight, the other man was half a head taller than him, two times thicker, and maybe even had double bones. How could he beat him?

As for why no boy helped him, he was an American who always acted tough. Why did he need a Chinese man to help him? It was only Huang Qiuyan who was kind-hearted.

Zhen Zidan and Li Lianjie are the same age, both 16 years old, who would have thought.

Wei Ming knew that he had studied in Shichahai, but he didn't expect it to be during this period, and it seemed that he didn't have a very good relationship with his classmates.

He should be an American now, and he must be well-off. But he can't handle the relationships with such a group of smart young men well. His emotional intelligence is really low.

Wei Ming followed the crowd in: "What's this friend's name?"

"Hello Lei, my name is Zhen Zidan."

No wonder he likes to talk so much, it turns out he doesn’t speak Mandarin well.

"Thunder Monkey..." Wei Ming communicated with him directly in Cantonese, and Zhen Zidan suddenly felt refreshed. After more than a year, someone was finally willing to talk to him.

Huang Qiuyan nudged Biaozi: "You came to see me? Why did you bring your friends with you?"

Biaozi: "I came to see you, but Xiao Wei has other purposes."

Wei Ming was stunned: Am I Xiao Wei?
Biaozi winked and gave face in front of the woman.

"Yes, yes, yes. Brother Biao came here specially to see you. I'm here to see Coach Wu Bin."

Huang Qiuyan was curious: "What do you want to see the coach about?"

Wei Ming: "I want to see Brother Biao and Coach Wu fight each other."

Brother Biao suddenly panicked, why not change back to Biaozi~
In the end, Biaozi was not allowed to take action. There happened to be a sparring match between students, so Wei Ming took a look. He was a little disappointed because the fight was too soft and not powerful enough, and was basically just a routine.

However, I think the outcome of a duel between true masters would be decided in one or two moves, which would not be very exciting, so you should just use your imagination based on the martial arts moves.

That day, Wei Ming and Biaozi invited Coach Wu to dinner again, and of course, Yan Zi was also invited.

When Wei Ming returned that day, he officially began writing "Heroes Have Always Been Young".

Two days later, Aunt Xiaoyan came to him again with a bag of letters from readers and told him two good news.

"Children's Literature has been reprinted, and 12 copies have been added, breaking the record!"
