Bian Lang and the others arrived at the hotel for tea break, where Hua Zi and Zhang Jing were already waiting.

Watts's short, light gold and silver hair reminded Bian Lang of a movie, The Devil Wears Prada.He had never seen the movie, but the posters and stills made him remember it fresh even though he had only glanced at it a few times.

After introducing each other, Watts said with a smile in Chinese: "Bian Lang, the performance last night was great. If there is a slight flaw, it is that the English translation of your Chinese lyrics is a bit poor. Please forgive me and I have to share it with others." Like the Bunkers, I urge you to come up with the studio versions of these songs."

I never thought that in addition to your outstanding musical talent, you are also a hidden great screenwriter. After "V for Vendetta" is published, no one will question why a Chinese can write a work like "The Angel" that can penetrate the hearts of Beilun people. "

"Ms. Watts, I am very happy to receive your recognition! If you have the opportunity, please translate the lyrics for us. I think those who questioned me must be the Tottenham fans last night, right?"

"I'm extremely happy! Yes, those Tottenham fans even thought that you spent money to buy the works of a certain British lyricist, and then..."

"Are their fans assimilated by the Bangzi Chinese?"

"OH, Bian Lang, it seems that our cooperation will be very pleasant this time. At least on this point, I agree with you."

After having a basic understanding of each other, Wenzi chatted with Bian Lang about related issues with the help of Zhang Jing.

Looking at the first page of the manuscript, Watts began to ask: "Mr. Bianlang, are the two place names Brixton and Streatham translated according to the actual place names in England? Or are they just Make a transliteration..."

"As long as the place names appear in the book, they are all translated according to the real place names. I have carefully checked this when checking the final draft with Lao Mo. If there are any legal risks that need to be modified, I will also Please be sure to let us know.”

Thinking of this, Bian Lang found it a bit funny. Originally, this book was the original English version on the original earth, but what he read at the time was the translated version. Now the book on Water Blue Star actually needs to be translated back through the original Chinese version...

Moreover, Bian Langzhen couldn't remember all the place names. Many of them were recalled based on some information books that Lao Mo found for him. Some of the unimportant ones were selected by him based on the plot on the map.

"Okay, then the next question is, are the books in the picture in the lower right corner of the first page "Das Kapital" or "Utopia"..."

"Yes!" Before Watts could continue to ask, Bian Lang named the movie posters on the wall in that corner of the screen one by one.

Of course, these contents are different from the original comics. These were added by Bian Lang after reading the materials based on the current situation of Aqualan Star at that time.Bian Lang handles all such details in all books in this way.

Facing Bian Lang's fluent answers, Zhang Jing really wanted to record this segment to block those who questioned Bian Lang's identity as a screenwriter.There was such a person in their company, but it was only the editor-in-chief's support and Watts's obviously strongly personal recommendation that finally made the matter final.

But just as she was about to take out her phone, she noticed that the female photographer who was following her was already taking pictures at the next table. She stopped what she was doing and refocused on the content she was checking.

As for Guoli, who knew this for the first time, she was not only stunned with shock, but also a bit dumbfounded.

"Isn't the rock circle enough for Master Bian to toss around?"

The detailed verification of the first volume lasted for nearly 2 hours. Both Watts who asked the questions and Bian Lang who answered the questions showed sufficient professionalism and familiarity with the book "V Stranger".

The content of the first volume is Europe under the rule of tyrants, starting from Bonfire Night in London in 1997. The 16-year-old girl Ivy Hammond was arrested by a member of the secret police organization "Finger" with the intention of raping and killing her secret police. The assassination begins with the anarchist V wearing a cloak and Guy Fawkes mask.

From Sulich's diary, Inspector Finch discovered that V was once a prisoner in a concentration camp and was brutally tortured. Finch believed that V was preparing to launch a new attack target.

While outlining the outline of the entire story, it also explains the source of motivation for the character V besides revenge.That is to say, under the rule of hegemony, ordinary people have no freedom at all.

After talking about these parts, Bian Lang also complied with AC Company's request. He turned on his laptop and turned the screen over so that Watts could read the brief introductions to the next two volumes.

The name of the second volume is Cabaret of Sin. Four months later, V broke into the radio station "Mouthpiece" founded by government member Roger Dascombe and delivered an anarchist speech, calling on the people to resist. And finally designed to escape, killing Duscombe began.

After Finch failed, he was hit by his boss and had to take a temporary leave. At the same time, Ivy fell in love with an older man, Gordon, and the two met Derrick's widow Rose. After Derrick was killed by V, Rose married Duscombe. After Duscombe also died, , Rose had to make a living as a dancer. Secret police underboss Creedy hired Arlie Harper's gang members to attempt a coup, but Harper murdered Gordon. An angry Ivy interrupts Harper and Creedy's meeting, but Ivy is immediately captured and imprisoned. While being interrogated and tortured, Ivy discovers a letter on prisoner Valerie Page about an actress who was executed for being gay. She decided to refuse to cooperate and await the death penalty. Unexpectedly, the interrogator let her go, and she realized that all this was a prank by V to recreate the suffering he suffered in Mount Lak. He told Ivy that Valerie was a real person who died in front of him, and that the letter was about her. Ivy forgave V.

After reading this part of the plot, Watts said bluntly: "Bian Lang, I really admire your ability to lay out the plot. If Ivy had not experienced this period of imprisonment set by V, I think no matter what V said, she would probably You don’t believe that all of this is a real incident, do you?”

"This is a fictional story, so..."

"I understand, and I believe our readers also understand, that this is completely a fictional story, but the direction is a little obvious! I have to admit, this is a pretty rock and roll thing!"

"Well, it's really rock and roll!"

As for the content of the third volume, Watts saw Ivy wearing V's costume, completing V's final goal, blowing up No. 10 Downing Street, arranging a Viking-style funeral for V, and launching the final declaration. , and sighed again: "Bian Lang, I really don't know what to say. Every character in this, every character I mentioned, you have created them so vividly and fully... I can't believe it." Not to mention, I think your understanding of the history of England and the whole of Europe during that period is comparable to that of the locals in England!" Here, Watts unconsciously used honorifics when addressing Bian Lang.

After saying the emotion in the previous paragraph, she continued: "Bian Lang, have you ever thought about further cooperation with our company? If you provide us with the detailed outline, maybe our team of painters can complete it in a shorter time. It was created.”

Faced with Watts' obvious attempt to win over her, Bian Lang refused without hesitation: "Thank you for your kindness, Ms. Watts. My main focus is still on music."

What's more, Bian Lang also knows how much he weighs, and he can only remember so much of the comics and dramas.

As for the Marvel Universe and DC Universe, he has only read the ones made into movies, and has not read a single page of the comics.

If there is a chance in the future, "Fairy Tail" and "Bleach" can be considered to be produced, but that can only be to revitalize national comics.

If you want AC from the United States, it can only be released along with it.

Seeing that Bian Lang was not moved at all, Watts did not continue to expand on this issue, but extended an invitation to lunch.

Bian Lang looked at the time on his phone and saw that it was still too late to go to Xie Xinyan's side.

After thinking about it, Xie Xinyan's program should be intended to promote Chinese cuisine. With so many Chinese translators from a well-known foreign comic company, he would not refuse, and then he extended the invitation: "Ms. Watts, if you don't have anything special If you want to arrange it, how about you come with me to participate in the recording of a food program?"

"Huh? Program? Chinese food program? If it's convenient, I'm very willing to participate. My admiration for authentic Chinese food is something that restaurants in Chinatown in the United States cannot fully satisfy. But in this case, please give us dinner An opportunity for AC Company to express itself.”

Bian Lang didn't worry too much about this. He picked up his phone and called Xie Xinyan. After getting confirmation, he left the hotel with a few people and walked over.

When she arrived at the filming location of Xie Xinyan's show, an open kitchen in an old villa in North London, Zhang Jing was shocked again.

The moment she saw Xie Xinyan up close again, she felt that all the good luck in her life might have been exhausted during this business trip.

Xie Xinyan also recognized her immediately: "Hello, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon. You are actually Bian Lang's friend... No wonder you didn't ask me for an autograph or a photo yesterday..."

Faced with Xie Xinyan's joke, Zhang Jing's whole face suddenly turned red, and then she quickly explained: "King Crab, I was a little overexcited when I saw you yesterday. You were the favorite of all the girls when I was in school. What a man. Just because of my work, I came here from the United States to check the content of the comics with Mr. Bian Lang..."

After Zhang Jing finished explaining, it was Xie Xinyan's turn to be shocked: "Bian Lang, are you still a comic book scriptwriter? Isn't the rock world not enough for you to display your talents?"

Faced with this question, Bian Lang smiled and replied: "Isn't it the same for you? The music world is not enough for you to display your talents, so you entered the film and food circles. In my opinion, both of these are more difficult than writing songs. "

"No, no, no, writing songs requires talent, especially songs like "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty". I think all the music producers in Hong Kong combined will not be able to write such a song in another 100 years! You We are really proud of our Chinese music industry! As for the film and television industry, with your face, I believe that as long as you are willing, a crew will immediately send you an audition for the male lead..."
