Before the autograph session started, a beautiful host was arranged to come to the autograph session in the lobby and prepare to interview Li Qing under the camera.
"Please invite our leesin!"
Li Qing did not expect such a session. Fortunately, he has rich stage experience. After accepting the host's invitation, he walked up to the host with a microphone. While on stage, he said apologetically to the book fans who were queuing up.
: "I'm sorry, I'm a little late."
The host looked surprised and said, "You're not late. It's not even ten o'clock yet."
Li Qing smiled and said: "I wanted to see everyone so much, so I felt it was a bit late to come."
A series of cheers suddenly sounded in the hall.
"I didn't expect your spoken English to be so good." The host smiled and said, "It's probably not your first time coming to the UK. There are many places in "Harry Potter" that have unique British architectural scenery, such as King's Cross Station.
"
"This is my first time here."
Li Qing paused and said: "But I like Britain very much. I have been consulting relevant classics and made complete preparations before starting to create."
When the book fans at the scene heard this, they all exclaimed in amazement.
"Then why did you choose London as the setting for the story?" the host asked doubtfully.
This sentence is also a question in the minds of many people present.
You know, it is precisely because of "Harry Potter" that in the past six months, there has been an explosion of tourists from all over the world visiting London. Countless people have made various purchases in London, creating a huge GDP for London.
The value has also made many places that exist in both books and reality become almost world-class tourist attractions. The benefits that such attractions will create for the local area in the future will be even more terrifying!
Li Qing is a Chinese. If "Harry Potter" were set in China, such a phenomenon would definitely not happen in London.
Li Qing pondered for a moment and said: "I agree that it is better for the magical world to appear in Western countries, such as vampires, werewolves, etc. We in China have always admired martial arts, and the world of swords is the favorite of the Chinese people. For this kind of magical world
There may be some rejection of the products produced there, after all, the cultures are different. But I think I might create a 'sword and sorcery' story in the future."
"Sword and magic? It's amazing!" The host's eyes were filled with excitement and he asked expectantly: "When will the creation be created?"
"Let's wait until the "Harry Potter" series is completed."
Li Qing said with a smile: "Let Eastern people see the world of magic, and let Westerners see the world of martial arts. This should be a difficult task for me. I really hope someone can stand up and create it one step ahead of me."
In this world, my sense of mission will weaken."
When the host heard this, he was speechless for a long time. After a while, he praised: "You are really a genius!"
"You don't have to be a genius, you just want to be one step ahead of others." Li Qing coughed.
The scene was filled with cheers and applause.
After chatting for a while, Li Qing was invited to the autograph table. Before taking his seat, Li Qing glanced at the dense crowd and suddenly waved to the staff. After taking the microphone, he said: "I am
It is my first time to come to the UK, and it is also the first time to hold such a book signing event in the UK. This is very meaningful to me, and I am very grateful to everyone for coming. I hope everyone will pay attention to safety."
The signing officially begins.
The person who came to Li Qing was a British girl with golden twin tails and a few freckles on her face. She held a brand new copy of "Harry Potter: Prisoner of Azkaban" in her hand and handed it to the person next to her.
The staff member said excitedly to Li Qing: "Leesin, nice to meet you!"
"I'm happy too."
Li Qing said with a smile, and immediately signed his name on the title page of the book he received.
Next to Li Qing, Liu Qin, Xue Yan and others stood beside him to help spread out the books and stack the novels he received one by one, which made it easier for Li Qing to sign.
One, two, three...
During the book signing process, Li Qing communicated with book fans in full English without any barriers.
What surprised him was that many people actually put on self-made magic robes of Hogwarts College according to the description in the book, and in Li Qing's eyes, there was no sense of violation...
This is awesome!
Culture can indeed influence people...
At the same time, characters such as Harry Potter and Hermione were also cosplayed and appeared in the lobby. Every time they appeared in front of the camera and were displayed on the big screen in the small square outside the bookstore, they instantly aroused countless excitement.
The cheers of fans lining up.
Li Qing couldn't help but sigh a little while signing.
"Harry Potter" is truly destined to become a global hit.
What we saw today was just the beginning of this great work.
While Li Qing was busy doing book signings, Joanna, the president of Bloomsbury Publishing House, was receiving several guests from the United States.
"I'm so sorry."
In the reception room, Joanna put the coffee on the table, smiled and said to the guests in front of her: "'Harry Potter' is indeed very suitable to be adapted into a movie, but what I want to reiterate again is that 'Harry Potter'
In addition to the text publishing copyright in our hands, all other film and television copyrights are in the hands of the original author. This is the condition we agreed on from the beginning and signed in the contract. If your company really wants to buy the "Harry Potter" series
If you own the copyright, then go find Leesin yourself instead of wasting time with me."
"No, no, no, how could it be a waste of time?"
A middle-aged white man with a short head smiled slightly: "Dear Joanna, I think we need to sit down and talk gently. "Harry Potter" is indeed a great work. It has fascinated many children throughout Europe and the United States.
, even our company may not be able to win the copyright for his movie adaptation in the face of such huge competition. What I want to say is, is such a great work really created by a Chinese?
According to my understanding, this Chinese writer had never set foot in the UK before today. How did he know so much about the British scenery? How did he create such an original London-style story?"
Joanna stared at the other person: "What do you want to say?"
"I think there might be something fishy here."
The white man caressed the jasper ring on his finger and said with a smile: "I have carefully studied Leesin's previous works. I found that the styles of his works are ever-changing. There is no similarity at all between several works. This
It is unimaginable for a writer who writes millions of words of novels at every turn."
"Do you think Leesin hired someone to write for her?" Joanna frowned.
"What if?"
The white man said quietly: "I never believed that there are real geniuses in this world."
"Do you have evidence?"
Qiao Nana stood up suddenly and said coldly: "If there is no evidence, don't spread rumors everywhere, and don't try to destroy the close cooperative relationship between Bloomsbury Publishing House and Leesin!"
"I will find the evidence, but it will take some time."
The white man left Bloomsbury Publishing House and when he got into the car, he smiled and said to his companion: "There is nothing that a hundred dollars can't solve. If there is, then a thousand dollars."
