Back to 80: My Literary Life

After listening to this, Song Tangtang looked at her husband in surprise.

She originally thought that Fang Minghua would only write a novel of tens of thousands of words, similar to "The Wizard of Oz", but it seems that it is not the case at all!

She suddenly thought of a question: "Minghua, after you finish writing this novel, can Shengshi Film and Television make it into a movie?"

Chinese people make "Harry Potter"?

Wow. This is a bit of a brain hole.

But I can't discourage my wife's enthusiasm!

"Well, wait until I finish writing the first one and you can take a look." Fang Minghua said.

"Okay, you are busy, take care of your health and rest early, I will go to change your tea." Song Tangtang knew that her husband could not write anything without tea.

After Song Tangtang left, Fang Minghua's mind was suddenly opened.

It is hard to say whether Chinese directors can make this purely Western fantasy novel well, but.

Why not add more Chinese elements to it?

In fact, there are already some Chinese elements in the original work: Chinese fireball dragons, Chinese big red lanterns in "Harry Potter 6", shadow play in "Harry Potter 7", but more importantly, Harry Potter's first love Qiu Zhang.

Although the novel does not explicitly say that Qiu Zhang is of Chinese descent, judging from her name, she is probably a Chinese girl. Although Qiu Zhang did not succeed in holding hands with Harry in the end, as the school beauty of Ravenclaw, she is dating all the popular seniors in the school. Qiu Zhang is undoubtedly a goddess-level beauty.

However, Qiu Zhang only appeared in the third part "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban", and her role is a bit small.

Increase the role?

It would be better to set Hermione Granger, one of the golden trio in the novel, as a Chinese girl.

In fact, in terms of the original work, Hermione is the spokesperson for the magic world of Chinese students!

Hermione is smart and hardworking, and is the representative of academic masters in our hearts.

However, what she fears most is failing the exam. This fear does not come from her laziness or lack of effort, but from her extreme emphasis on grades.

Hermione was not sorted into Ravenclaw probably because she pursued not wisdom but excellent test scores. She believed that only by passing the exams could she prove her worth.

Hermione's fear and pursuit are so similar to those of students in our country.

Compared with Harry and Ron's relaxed and casual attitude towards study and exams, Hermione's anxiety due to study pressure makes us Chinese feel more intimate and resonant.

Damn. Hermione's character is definitely plagiarized from Chinese academic masters. It's easy to change her to Chinese.

The name is thought of.

Just call it, Rui Fang, hehe, write the name of the baby daughter in it.

When the daughter-in-law Song Tangtang saw the name, she giggled, and the daughter was even more excited when she knew it.

"Wow, I can do magic, I can fly on a broom!"

But his younger brother Lele next to him poured a basin of cold water on him: "Dad said that magic is fake! We must believe in science!" Then he showed off and took out a newly subscribed magazine "Youth Science Pictorial"!

Ruirui was of course not convinced by her brother's "troublemaking" and pointed at him: "Okay, if you have the guts, don't read it when Dad finishes writing it in the future!"

"I'll read it with criticism!"

Oh my God

The couple was amused by their son's last words.

Whose tone is he imitating?

The siblings often quarrel, but Fang Minghua doesn't care, as long as they don't fight.

Although Fang Minghua has read the original book and the movie, the structure of this book is relatively large. He spent three days to sort out the world view, magic system, and main character settings and relationships in the novel, and even drew a character relationship diagram.

Some character settings were adjusted, such as Hermione, a blonde girl, was changed to a black-haired oriental beauty with Chinese ancestry.

Qiu Zhang, a Chinese girl, had to be changed to a Western girl, otherwise it would be a bit too abrupt.

May Day is coming soon, and from today onwards, the country will implement a two-day weekend.

Just recently, the State Council issued a notice, stipulating that from today onwards, the weekly working hours will be changed to 40 hours from May 1 of that year.

Two days of rest on the weekend plus three days of holiday for Labor Day became his first "small long vacation".

For Fang Minghua, the whole family went to his parents' home on the first day, and on the second day, he took his two children to his father-in-law's house with Song Tangtang to stay for a whole day. The third day was truly his own.

Song Tangtang drove the two children to Wang Xia's house early in the morning. Zhao Hongjun was not in Xijing but in Shencheng. The two women planned to take the children to the Great World Amusement Park on Hancheng Road in the western suburbs, leaving Fang Minghua at home.

On this day, he did not go fishing. He first went to the calligraphy and painting exhibition hall on the third floor to appreciate calligraphy and painting alone, and then returned to the study to copy the brush calligraphy.

Suddenly, the nanny Xiaoqin, who was doing housework, hurried up and knocked on Fang Minghua's study: "Brother Fang, a man and a woman came to the gate. The woman said she was your student and came to visit you."

"Oh, what's her name?"

"She said her name is Li Hongying."

Li Hongying?

Didn't she go to study in the UK?

Back to China?

Fang Minghua put down her brush and went downstairs with the nanny.

"What about the man?" Fang Minghua asked casually as they walked.

"She didn't introduce him. I feel like he is her husband, and I feel like he is her father." Xiaoqin said.

Fang Minghua felt funny. "Is he a husband or a father? There is a big difference."

"I feel like both. You will know when you go and see him."

Fang Minghua went downstairs to the gate of the yard and saw Li Hongying standing at the gate. Next to her was a middle-aged man in a suit and tie, who looked like a scholar and seemed to be over 40 years old. Both of them were holding gifts in their hands.

"Teacher Fang!" Li Hongying called respectfully.

"Hongying, are you back home?" Fang Minghua said with a smile.

"Well, I'm here to visit relatives." Li Hongying replied, and pointed to the middle-aged man next to her: "This is my husband, Zhao Yiheng, a professor at the School of Oriental Studies, University of London, England."

It turns out that he is a husband, not a father!

"Hello, Chairman Fang, I have heard of your name when I was abroad." Zhao Yiheng stretched out his right hand.

"You're welcome, Professor Zhao, Hongying, please come in."

Fang Minghua took the two into the living room, the nanny poured tea, and the three of them sat on the sofa and chatted.

Li Hongying told Fang Minghua that Zhao Yiheng was her teacher at the University of London. They got married at the beginning of this year and are now on wedding leave to visit relatives in China.

After going to Zhao Yiheng's hometown Guilin to meet his parents, he went to Chongqing to visit Li Hongying's parents. Originally, Zhao Yiheng wanted to go to Yenching to visit his teacher, the famous poet Bian Zhilin, but Li Hongying suggested taking a detour to Xijing to visit Fang Minghua.

"He is also my teacher. Although he only taught me for a few months at Luyuan, I benefited a lot from him!"

Zhao Yiheng agreed when he heard his newlywed wife say this.

"My husband studied at the Graduate School of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in the early 1980s. His teacher was Mr. Bian Zhilin. He studied Shakespeare's literature with Mr. Bian and obtained a master's degree in literary theory. Then he went to the University of California, Berkeley, to study for a doctorate. My husband respects Mr. Bian very much and visits him whenever he returns to China."

Li Hongying said, looking at her husband with a kind of admiration in her eyes.

"Professor Zhao is Mr. Bian's student? It is true that a good teacher produces good students." Fang Minghua smiled and complimented.

Bian Zhilin is not only a famous poet in my country, but also a senior researcher of Shakespeare's literature and the vice president of the Chinese Shakespeare Research Association.

The three of them chatted for a while, and Li Hongying asked: "Teacher Fang, what novel are you writing recently? I came back and saw that your book "In the Name of the People" which exposes the reality of the officialdom is selling very well. Are you writing a realistic work?"
