Lu Shi was very responsible for Felice.
As a student of London Economics, he would occasionally lie a word or two, but as for Phyllis, he adhered to the principle of seeking truth from facts. If he knew, he knew, and if he didn't know, he didn't know.
Fortunately, literature and art cannot be separated.
The word experience has its corresponding genre in performance, and in literature it is the four words "real feelings".
It was a very fruitful afternoon for Phyllis.
Dell wants to pay land hours,
Lu Shi waved his hand,
"Phyllis just knelt down for me, how could I have the nerve to accept your money?"
Phyllis's little face suddenly turned red.
She formed a triangle with her hands, "cast a spell" on the landing, and muttered for a while: "Forget it...forget it...forget that thing..."
The other three were all amused by Phyllis.
Lu Shi said: "Mr. Dale, there are other reasons why I don't charge you. First, Phyllis is the heroine of "Roman Holiday". She fits the role of Princess Anne very well. It can be said that she made "Rome" Holiday,” I want to thank her.”
Phyllis was muttering about Lu Shi just now, but now she put on a smile,
Well, Professor Lu’s words are quite pleasing to the ear.
Dale opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something,
But Lu Shi didn't give him a chance to be humble.
Lu Shi continued: "Second, I will no longer participate in Felice's subsequent training, so how can I be embarrassed to ask for payment?"
Phyllis:! ! !
Her face is like the sky in June. It changes at any time and her smile disappears.
"Won't you participate again?"
Dale on the side said "hmm" and said: "Professor Lu is a master of the experience school. He told me that you should experience more and get in touch with different people and different professions. If possible, it is best to experience those professions personally. .”
Lu Shi took over the conversation,
"This kind of thing can be arranged by Mr. Dale. As for me..."
He pointed to the typewriter on the table,
"I still have to pay the price for the arrogance I just said~"
This is a joke,
Natsume Soseki and Dale laughed at the same time.
But Phyllis puffed up her face angrily and said, "You're not just talking arrogantly! Professor Lu, your novels and poems are so great, and your plays are so powerful. No professor in Cambridge can compare with you!"
The girl looked excited.
Her father looked at her strangely, wondering what was wrong with his daughter today and why her mood changed so much.
Is it the legacy of the learning experience school?
Puzzled.
Lu Shi asked: "Phyllis, have you read my novels and poems?"
Phyllis nodded repeatedly,
"Seen!"
In fact, she first came across "Roman Holiday" and then re-watched "None Survived".
But the girl in Lu Shi's poems could recite them backwards and forwards.
She was worried that Lu Shi wouldn't believe it, so she said extremely eagerly: "Professor Lu, I like your "Answer" best! 'Despicableness is the passport of the despicable, and nobility is the epitaph of the noble.' It is so well written! "
This section is memorized quite accurately.
Lu Shi saw that Felice was getting more and more excited as he talked, so he quickly pressed his hands down and said comfortingly: "Okay~Okay~I know~"
Phyllis also realized his gaffe,
Her face turned red and she looked away.
"I'm afraid you don't believe me."
Lu Shi waved his hand,
"How could I not believe you? If you study acting hard and accumulate acting experience, one day you will rely on your acting skills to become the core female lead in a drama. When the time comes, I will definitely go and support you."
Phyllis's face lit up,
"Then...then you can write a poem for me when the time comes."
Although this request is good, it is a bit excessive.
Dale frowned;
"Phyllis!"
However, Phyllis, who had always been obedient, seemed not to hear his father's scolding and just stared at Lu Shi.
Lu Shi smiled and nodded,
"Can."
As soon as these words came out, Phyllis was relieved.
Dale thanked him profusely when he landed.
Regardless of whether Lu Shi is willing to fulfill his promise in the future, treating Felice like this today is quite a face-saving gesture.
Lu Shi sent Dale and his daughter to the door and said goodbye to them.
The two of them got into the carriage,
Not long after, the carriage disappeared at the end of Bryah Road.
Lu Shi returned to the room, sat down in front of the typewriter again, and thought about the bet with Cavendish.
Natsume Soseki asked: "What are you going to do with "Roger's Mystery"? You wouldn't want to hide such a good book, right?"
Lu Shi said: "Of course it will be published. I will find time to send it to Mr. Wood at the Royal Publishing House tomorrow. However, I still have to decide the content of this fantasy novel. Should I write it...should I come up with something special? .”
Natsume Soseki couldn't help but be speechless for a while.
However, seeing Lu Shi being so relaxed and freehand, he knew that Lu Shi already had an idea, so he asked, "What have you decided to write about?"
Lu Shi shook his head,
"Nope."
Natsume Soseki tried hard to resist the urge to roll his eyes.
"Then you still sit on the Diaoyutai?"
Lu Shi said: "It's not that I haven't thought about it, I just have too many ideas and I don't know which one to choose."
Natsume Soseki really rolled his eyes this time and complained: "I shouldn't have asked you more. Asking you really hurts your self-confidence. Forget it, I'll just write my own book."
With that said, he sat aside and continued to study "I am a Cat".
Lu Shi fell into deep thought,
The first thing he eliminated was Harry Potter.
As a fantasy work, there is no better-selling series of novels in the world.
But the problem lies in the background of the story, which takes place in modern London. There are too many things like subways, planes, cars, and phone booths, which are difficult to modify.
Lu Shi could write it out, but it would take too much time and effort.
Afterwards, Lu Shi screened out "A Song of Ice and Fire".
It is undeniable that this epic work has received a huge bonus because of the TV series, but even if you only look at the novel itself, it is extremely competitive, otherwise it would not have such high sales.
The reason why Lu Shi didn't write it was because of the special way of writing "A Song of Ice and Fire"——
POV.
Point-of-View, a point-of-view character writing technique, uses a narrative method that alternates the third-person perspective of the characters to describe the story, thereby promoting the progress of the story.
This way of writing is not suitable for serialization.
So, in the end, only Tolkien's "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" are left.
But is it necessary to bring out such a big killer right away?
Cavendish will cry...
Lu Shi scratched his head,
"That's all, there's nothing to hesitate about. Let's just give him a happy one."
He typed out the name "The Hobbit" on his typewriter.
This novel is actually a fairy tale. If you have read the original work, you will know that Tolkien’s writing style is fresh and childish, and the plot is joyful and exciting, making the whole story look like the adventures of a dwarf.
Moreover, it is not long,
Lu Shi translated it, but the translation into Chinese was only 100,000 words.
Unexpectedly, "The Hobbit" was so popular that the publisher wanted Tolkien to write a sequel, but he could no longer write fairy tales.
As a professor of linguistics at Oxford, Tolkien was of course able to freely express himself in literature, and he turned those children's interesting texts into epic poems that adults can appreciate.
The shocking "Lord of the Rings" trilogy was born.
After careful consideration, Lu Shi decided to change "The Hobbit" into a fantasy literary work for adults.
Of course, there are still some parts to consider,
Influenced by the originator of fantasy, "The Ring of the Nibelungs," there are many hints of racial references in "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings."
As a Chinese, Lu Shi couldn't mess around.
Must be modified!
Then there are some settings that have to be taken out of Tuo Lao's other books.
Lu Shi typed the beginning on the keyboard:
"In a cave beneath the earth lived a hobbit..."
