The Great Era of Rebirth: 1993

   The next few days.

  Tao Ge has been reading "The World" seriously. The more she reads this book, the more she loves it, and the more she reads it, the more she is reluctant to put it down.

   Over the course of the day, she has almost reached the point of forgetting to eat and sleep. Apart from eating and interacting with Zhang Xuan, she basically doesn't even bother to say a word.

   The two of them have truly achieved that the well water does not violate the river water.

   Tao Ge is busy, Zhang Xuan is also busy.

   He has been busy perfecting the outline, racking his brains every day to recall the materials of later generations to add to "Twilight". He has to revise the outline almost four to five times a day, striving for perfection.

The reason why    is so desperate is because Zhang Xuan is very clear about a fact: although "Twilight" is highly rated in the West, it has even been promoted to the successor of "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy".

   In fact, there is a big gap between the two. If you don't care about the differences in Western cultural systems and values, at least in his opinion, the gap is relatively large.

   In Zhang Xuan's mind, the "Lord of the Rings Trilogy" is still famous in modern times and even later generations, because it is the forerunner of magic, and it has created a lot of things.

   If "Twilight" wants to review the "Lord of the Rings Trilogy", or surpass the "Lord of the Rings Trilogy", then it has to solve two huge flaws.

   Defect one is the story structure and classic lines, Zhang Xuan must improve.

  The original "Twilight City" is not good enough in this regard, and even many famous works such as "The Count of Monte Cristo" are one level higher than it.

   This is where he desperately needs to improve.

   Fortunately, he just borrowed the lead from the original, and the lines still had to be redesigned by himself.

   For this reason, he has a huge plan to buy back the famous magic, vampire and reference materials in the West in the past 100 years, or let Xie Qi help him find them.

   He has to quote from the scriptures, and he has to work **** new lines, language structure and sense of substitution.

  The second flaw is innovation.

   is not to say that the original "Twilight Saga" is not innovative, of course it does, otherwise it would not have been held to that height by the mainstream Western culture.

   But in Zhang Xuan's opinion, it is not enough, at least not enough to surpass the "Lord of the Rings Trilogy".

   For a piece of history to be famous, or even to be the first, it must have systematic innovation.

To put it boldly, just like the supreme status of China's "Shan Hai Jing" in the mythology system, "Twilight City" will be a hundred years or more in the future, as long as writers who write about magic must refer to it and cite it. It, can't get around it, that's the real classic.

   So in this regard, Zhang Xuan has already figured out a solution: he will fill it with novel plot designs and incredible brain holes of later generations.

  Be sure to be a blockbuster and be famous all over the world!

   At this point, Zhang Xuan believes in himself. After all, he has more than 70 years of experience in later life than others, and it is absolutely more than enough to use a large number of storylines and various brain holes to enrich a movie.

   And in order to do the best, in order to realize his ambition, Zhang Xuan did not plan to stay behind, and decided to write "Twilight" as a fantasy novel.

   In other words, after writing "Twilight", he hasn't written about fantasy since, or for a long time.

   His thoughts came together, Zhang Xuan took out his mobile phone and called Xie Qi.

  …

  “Dong dong…”

   "Boss." The phone went through after two calls, and Xie Qi's rather sleepy voice came from there.

   Zhang Xuan worried and asked, "Are you here? Is there something uncomfortable?"

  Xie Qi replied, "No, I just came back from a ten-kilometer run with Rowling. I'm a little tired."

  It turned out to be like this, Zhang Xuan immediately explained the purpose of his call in detail.

   Hearing that he was going to buy back the famous fantasy genres, vampire genres and literature in the West in the past 100 years, Xie Qi was stunned, and after a long time, she asked in surprise, "You want to write about magic?"

   Zhang Xuan hummed.

   Knowing that her tone was wrong just now, Xie Qi smartly stopped asking further questions, but replied numbly: "Okay, I'll do it now."

   Zhang Xuan reminded, "You may have dead ends in your thinking and slow actions. You can turn to Rowling and Penguin Publishing House. As professional editors, Nancy and Daniel want to cover a wide range of topics. They should

   should be of great help to you. "

   Xie Qi wrote down these one by one.

   After chatting for about ten minutes, Zhang Xuan finally asked: "I don't have much time, you need to be fast. If you can, pick the most famous ones and send them back."

   I didn't expect Xie Qi to say directly, "I'll buy a part today and fly back to China at night."

  Zhang Xuan liked this kind of efficient subordinate very much and did not refuse.

After lunch, Zhang Xuan received a call from Du Shuangling, saying that he and Zou Qingzhu would come over tomorrow.

   He asked "When are your tickets?"

  Du Shuangling told him softly, "Get to the airport around three in the afternoon."

   Zhang Xuan said, "Okay, I'll pick you up when the time comes."

  Du Shuangling said with concern, "Dear, you are so busy now, just ask Sister Zhao to come and pick us up."

   Zhang Xuan shook his head with a smile, and said quickly, "The only people who can make me care so much in this life are the two of you, you are the only ones who can't refuse."

  Mi Jian's figure flashed in his mind, Du Shuangling automatically ignored the three words "you two" and said with a smile, "Okay, I will meet you tomorrow and give you a big hug."

   Zhang Xuan said with a smile, "Kiss me at the airport if you can."

  Du Shuangling blushed and glanced at Ai Qing who was walking away beside him, before whispering after a long while, "Mom was there just now."

   Zhang Xuan's heart is full of fear, it's not a question of "kiss", but a question of "you two".

This…

   It's like you won't die if you don't die! What a **** distress.

   But then he comforted himself again. It was at this point, and some things might not be hidden from the old Du family. Thinking of the "prosperous situation" in the future, it seems that it is not necessarily a bad thing to get a vaccination in advance.

   Using Ah Q's spirit to paralyze himself, the old man forcibly suppressed Ai Qing's matter and said calmly, "It's right here, anyway, we all slept together, and we'll never be separated for the rest of our lives."

   "Virtue..."

  Du Shuangling pursed his lips lightly, and said later: "Then I'll hang up. I have to get up tomorrow morning to catch a flight. I'll go pack my luggage first."

   "Okay, go get busy."

   "You have to remember to rest and eat on time."

"Um."

   Putting down the phone, Zhang Xuan was thinking, Shuangling and Zou Qingzhu will come over tomorrow, and President Hong will also come. It is a coincidence that the time to arrive at the airport is less than half an hour.

  …

   At this moment, Tao Ge cut two watermelons from the kitchen and handed him a piece.

   asked "Shuang Lingming come over?"

"right."

   Tao Ge said, "Come back home with me that afternoon."

   "Huh?" Zhang Xuan looked reluctant.

  Tao Ge sat down opposite "What? You don't want to?"

   How can Zhang Xuan admit, "How about tomorrow, my stomach is a little uncomfortable today."

   Tao Ge half-squinted his eyes, "Then take Shuangling with you, right?"

   Zhang Xuanqian laughed, which is almost what he meant.

  Tao Ge - time is silent, wait until he has finished eating the watermelon before getting up and kicking him:

   "Wash your hands and leave now."

   Zhang Xuan said, "There are still 200,000 words left to finish reading "The World", why don't you finish it?"

  Tao Ge walked towards the gate, "Don't worry, you won't have to watch it after you finish it, my sister is suddenly a little reluctant."

   Seeing the door open and seeing that the person was gone, the old man sighed, he couldn't escape.

  To be honest, he is very reluctant to see Tao Xian and his wife now.

  Before, Zhang Xuan and Tao Xian were both in the fog, don't you think there's something wrong?

  But now, they are separated from each other by a layer of yarn, and it is embarrassing to get together.

   The two of them didn't speak on the way, they closed their eyes and rested.

   It wasn't until the car entered Yuexiu District that Zhang Xuan said to Zhao Lei who was driving, "Stop the car, I'll go buy something."

  Tao Ge interjected "No, I brought tea leaves in my bag."

   Zhang Xuan watched her meeting, then nodded to Zhao Lei after a while, motioning to continue driving.

   Tao Xian is still the same, and he is very spiritual. But Mother Tao didn't know what was going on, and was a little haggard.

   But Mother Tao was very enthusiastic and greeted Zhang Xuan: "Zhang Xuan is here, come in and sit, it's hot outside."

   "Hey, good

  ”

   After Zhang Xuan changed his shoes and entered the door, that feeling came up. He always felt like Mother Tao was staring at him from behind.

   After drinking a cup of herbal tea, Tao Ge asked, "You seem very nervous?"

   "Is there?" Zhang Xuan blinked and moved on the sofa.

  Tao Ge changed his position and came to sit beside him, teasing him with a voice that only two people could hear:

   "If you had married your sister, you wouldn't be so guilty."

   Zhang Xuan glanced at the door of the kitchen, "Forget it, I'm even more uncomfortable when you marry me in a mansion like you."

  Tao Ge didn't care, "Go shopping with me after dinner."

   Zhang Xuan said, "Where are you shopping? Just go to Yintai Mall and get it. You can get whatever you want. It saves time and effort, and the quality of the items is good."

  Tao Ge pulled his hair down, "It's okay, you can get me a few dozen long tubes later, you can take whatever color you like.

  If you are worried that you will not be able to control it by then, you can also take a box of condoms in case you need it urgently. "

   Zhang Xuan "…"

   Seeing that he didn't speak, Tao Ge tilted his head and said, "Do you think the safety measures are in the way?"

   Zhang Xuan rolled his eyes.

  Tao Ge rubbed his legs lightly, "The drought has been severe recently, and there is a shortage of water everywhere. I can understand what you think, sister."

   Zhang Xuan opened his mouth, and when he was about to speak, Mother Tao had already brought out a plate of braised pork.

   Taking a look at the place where the eldest daughter was sitting before, Mother Tao sighed in her heart and said kindly, "The last dish is already cooking, and it will be ready soon."

  …

   "Hey, hard work uncle and auntie."

   Seeing Mother Tao's micro-expression just now, Zhang Xuan felt it was strange, a smile appeared on his face, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

   When Mother Tao returned to the kitchen, Zhang Xuan said angrily, "Ahhhh, don't be so close, okay?"

  Tao Ge put a piece of braised pork in his mouth with chopsticks, and said with a smile, "Why hide your ears and steal the bell? My mother sighs every time she sees me.

   As long as you don't move my sister, the old man can only sigh and cannot force you. "

   There is nothing wrong with this, but the problem is that the old man is also a man. If one day the city gate catches fire, will he not suffer too much?

   seemed to know what he was thinking, Tao Ge looked back at him from head to toe, especially after staying somewhere for a long time, and finally smiled meaningfully and continued to deal with Cai.

  Mother Tao came out with another dish, Tao Ge stretched out his chopsticks and took a bite and said to her, "This skill is getting better and better, and your happiness index is far ahead of the people of the whole country."

  Tao's mother loves and hates this daughter, hating her indisputable hatred, and smiled warmly: "There are guests here, don't look too ugly when you eat, anyway, go wash your hands first."

   Hearing this, Tao Ge put down his chopsticks, stood up and said to Zhang Xuan, "Let's go, my sister will take you to wash your hands."

   Zhang Xuan followed and got up.

   Watching the backs of the two going to the bathroom, Mother Tao turned back to the kitchen.

   As Tao Xian brought the last braised tofu to the table, the four dishes and one soup were all together. They were all home-cooked dishes, but the colors looked good and they had appetite.

   It can be seen from this point that Tao Xian really used his mind. No wonder Tao Ge said that Tao's mother's happiness index is far ahead, and it is not unreasonable to think about it.

   You must know that in many families, once the man has made great achievements and the woman is a housewife, many men will basically stay still when they come back from the outside, and they will become uncles on the sofa. People like Tao Xian who take care of everyone outside, and those who come home to take care of Xiaojia really belong to that small group.

   During the banquet, Tao Xian asked about his "human world". Before Zhang Xuan could answer, Tao Ge answered for him.

  Tao Ge said, "It's already finished, I'm going back to China this time for this one."

   Hearing that the two-year-old work has been finalized, Tao Xian is looking forward to it. "A while ago, a friend asked me about your work. It's alright, he doesn't have to wait."

   Tao Ge still didn't know his father's thoughts. "He wants to send a draft to Tao Ling, so I can bring it for you to have a look first."

   Zhang Xuan quickly echoed, "Tomorrow I'm going to pick up President Hong at Baiyun Airport, and I'll show it to my uncle, just to give me a hand."

   Today is different from the past, he believes very much in this father and daughter, or

   Believe in Tao Ge.

   Tao Xian talked more than usual today. After talking about "the world", the topic took a turn and came to Yintai Capital again.

   Tao Xian asked, "Financial investment has great prospects for development, and we still have a lot of experience to learn. How did you think of going in this direction?"

   Zhang Xuan did not hide it, and told about the encounter with Lao Deng.

   then said, "Old Deng worked at Goldman Sachs in the United States before, and he has many unique insights in this regard.

   During the exchange, we found that with the rapid development of the domestic economy, many high-tech enterprises will emerge in the future.

   High-tech companies are capital-intensive companies, and I just had some spare money in my hand. I was thinking about how to spend the money most effectively, so I hit it off with the experienced old Deng. "

  …

   Tao Xian asked, "I heard that you want to develop in the direction of bank securities?"

  Zhang Xuan leaned forward a little, the chopsticks in his hand slowed down, and said frankly: "Going to the financial line, banks and securities are an inescapable hurdle, and we do intend to extend in this direction in our preliminary vision.

   However, Yintai Capital is still in the stage of accumulating experience and capital, and it does not dare to take too big steps. "

   Tao Xian was very satisfied with his words, and after pondering for a while, he said: "China is in the process of construction, and all fields and industries need people of insight and a lot of capital. You have this idea and courage at a young age, which is very good.

  Man, if you dare to fight and fight, you can afford to lose at your age. Don't be constrained by difficulties, our country is big, the world is big enough to accommodate your dreams and ambitions. "

Seeing Zhang Xuan listening intently, Tao Xian added, "People, it's easy to get blinded by staying in one place for a long time. We are old and we can't work anymore. The development of the country and society depends on your youth. people.

  You have graduated from the undergraduate degree now. Although you are still studying for graduate school, you may wish to go outside more often, go to developed countries to have a look, learn more from the scriptures, and expand your mind and thinking. I very much hope that our country's finance can catch up with the United States quickly. "

   Zhang Xuan was calm on the surface, but his heart was actually dazed. Today's Tao Xian is not too Tao Xian.

  In the past, when I asked myself to come to dinner, it was mostly commonplace, and no matter how much I talked about writing, how could I say so much like today?

   He said sincerely "Thank you uncle for teaching."

   Tao Xian glanced at his eldest daughter, "If these words were from a few years ago, I would not have told you.

   Even if you achieve more in literature, I won't mention it to you.

   Maybe it’s because I’m getting old, and the things I miss gradually become more and more, and I occasionally have some dreams that I don’t usually have, which gives me a different understanding of life.

   And you can achieve such achievements with your own hands at this age, talent and genius are not enough to accurately define you, so I am looking forward to your future, thinking about getting old and seeing how far you can go?

  In this society, it seems simple but not simple. There will definitely be many difficulties on the way forward. If one day you can’t bear it by yourself, you can tell me, and I will do my best to help you if I can. "

   Originally said 10,000 and 10,000. Waiting here, Zhang Xuan felt very guilty and moved.

   No matter how true the other party's words are? He Zhang Xuan still accepts this love.

   Mother Tao, who had been gathering a few people to eat, was surprised. After her eyes wandered around her daughter and Zhang Xuan, she didn't say much.

   On the other hand, Tao Ge has been eating with his head down. Compared with the deliberate provocation before dinner, he was a little silent.

—

   Leaving Tao's house, Tao Ge asked Zhao Lei to pass the driver's seat.

   Zhao Lei had to remind, "You have to drink slowly, drive slowly."

  Tao Ge waved his hand, "It's okay, I didn't drink much."

   Seeing that Zhang Xuan was not blocking her, Zhao Lei went to the car behind.

   The two of them didn't speak much when they came, and they didn't speak much on the way back. The inside of the car was very quiet, so quiet that the sound of the engine could be heard.

When    was about to leave Yuexiu District, Zhang Xuan broke the deadlock: "Don't go to the mall?"

  Tao Ge looked ahead, "What are you going to do in the mall? Are you going to get a condom?"

  Zhang Xuan's mouth twitched when he realized that he

  Shouldn't talk, it's a **** mess.

  Tao Ge glanced at him sideways, and sneered, "Sister, no matter how **** and enchanting you are, you wouldn't dare to touch it on your bed, so why waste it?

   If you are really suffocated now, then you should save money. After all, money is not brought by the wind, it is the hard-earned money that you have worked hard to stay up all night, and you can save a little. "

  Thank you so much, Zhang Xuan tilted his head and looked out the window, thinking over what Tao Xian said today.

  ps for subscription! Ask for a monthly pass!

  ps: Tell me why you decided to "Twilight", in fact, March also understands that this book has many shortcomings. But it's the second half of 1997 in the book, and honestly, there's not much to choose from.

  Comparative famous works have already been written, and there is no way to directly overhead or write them in reverse time in March.

   And due to cultural differences and different values ​​between China and the West, although Twilight is too simple in our eyes, it actually has a very high status in the West. It's a bit like Harry Potter, and it may be difficult for many people to understand.

But no matter what, Twilight's book is indeed very popular, and the results are very good. In order to justify himself, March specially added the setting. Please understand, it is really embarrassing in the time point of the world in the book, and there is no more suitable time. .
