Chapter 229 Famous America (Part 2)

Liu Jingting didn't know the boy who was sitting in the hall waiting for him at all.

The boy was wearing a camel-colored trench coat, dyed his hair, his beard was very clean, and he looked handsome, and he looked like the fashionable and calm style of a big boy.

Liu Jingting immediately guessed who the person was, adjusted his expression, walked up to say hello, "Hello, I am Liu Jingting, are you looking for me?"

The boy raised his head from a magazine, did not answer immediately, but carefully examined Liu Jingting, then stood up, reached out, and introduced himself very politely: "Hello, I am Wang Wenjun. I don't know if Xiaomi has mentioned me to you, but she often mentions you to me."

"I mentioned it, I mentioned it." Liu Jingting hurriedly said.

Wang Wenjun smiled secretly and said, "You look a little different from the photos."

"Oh, that photo may have been PSed."

"NO, NO, I mean, you're more handsome than the photos."

"You are handsome, too."

"Thank you, go out for a drink?"

"Okay, but I just arrived here and I'm not very familiar with it."

"It's okay, I'm familiar with it."

So the two went to a nearby Yuebak coffee shop.

After ordering the order, there was a period of embarrassing adaptation unique to strangers. Although Liu Jingting had the souls of two generations and had a vast and huge work, the problem of unnatural communication with strangers still existed, especially when facing the person in front of him.

Liu Jingting turned to look out the window and saw a blonde girl standing on the street talking on the phone. She waved her arms and roared at the phone, probably quarreling with her boyfriend.

"Well, how long have you known Xiaomi?" Wang Wenjun took the lead in breaking the silence.

Liu Jingting hurriedly took back his gaze, thought for a while, and said, "It's been five years. I met in the third year of junior high school. At that time, she was an editor in "The Great Jianghu"."

Thinking of this, Liu Jingting was also shocked. Five years have passed in a blink of an eye, and his career in promoting books seems to be just starting.

"Yes, you're a writer."

Liu Jingting smiled and said, "I'm writing."

"I'm so humble. I bought your Little Prince, which is very good. Our school also made the musical "Little Prince". I heard that you have many works in China? Unfortunately, I don't like novels very much, and I rarely read domestic novels. Either they disagree with each other and use swords and guns, fight and kill, or they are fond of you, youth pain and sorrow, etc. I really can't accept it."

"Is it my personal hobby?" Liu Jingting could certainly hear the implicit meaning of the other party's words.

At this time, the waiter brought the coffee up, and the conversation between the two was paused. Liu Jingting took the opportunity to send a message to Mi Hu: "If you have something to do temporarily, please meet later."

After the text message was sent for a few seconds, Mihu came back: "The plan has changed, and the mother wants to see you."

Liu Jingting frowned slightly and said to himself: "Want to see parents again?"

"You also received the text message?" Wang Wenjun asked suddenly.

"Um?"

Wang Wenjun pointed to his cell phone and said, "Auntie Fen said he would ask us to have a meal together tonight."

Liu Jingting smiled and nodded, saying, "Mi...Xiaomi told me."

Regarding Hu Xiaomi, Wang Wenjun was so sensitive. When he heard Liu Jingting’s call “Mi”, he became curious and thought of intimate names such as “Mi Mi” and “Mier”. His heart was like a needle prick. He took a sip of coffee calmly and asked, “You just called Mi, what did Mi?”

"Oh, the name she was the editor, Mihu, I'm used to calling her, don't you know?"

"I know. Yes, Mihu, yes, I know."

Then he was silent again, and Wang Wenjun solved the title problem. But Aunt Fen asked Tiao Han, but it was Xiaomi who notified him that they had been in touch, or did they have been in touch?

Wang Wenjun took another sip of coffee and asked, "Did you always have contact?"

"Yes, I originally said I would go to Times Square together, it's a coincidence."

Wang Wenjun's hand shook, and his face was hard to maintain calmness. He put down the coffee cup, wiped his mouth with a tissue, looked at Liu Jingting, and said, "I guess you have guessed the purpose of me looking for you, and I won't waste time. Just say it, give up Hu Xiaomi."

Liu Jingting looked at Wang Wenjun with interesting thoughts, but did not respond, saying that he did not understand.

"I don't know if she mentioned to you, I'm marrying her. Maybe you think this approach is a bit outdated, but I tell you that before I didn't know about this, that is, when I was five or six years old, I decided that she was my bride. Later, my parents told me about this, and I was even more convinced, so you have to give up on her."

Liu Jingting subconsciously grabbed the ear, and suddenly didn't know how to communicate with the person opposite him. He accused him angrily, as if there was no need, and a few sarcastic words seemed even more unnecessary. He said noble and coldly, "You don't have a chance", as if he was too pretentious.

Liu Jingting was very embarrassed and said, "You can't make me give up anything or catch something, because, to be honest, we are not familiar with each other, but we are very familiar with each other. If you dare to let me give up a girl, I might have to duel with you."

"Dull, okay." Wang Wenjun was quick.

"You should hear it, this is a metaphor."

"But I'm very serious." Wang Wenjun's expression was indeed very serious. "You are a creative person who should understand that there are many things in this world that cannot be replaced by nothing. For example, when we grew up together, we went to kindergarten and elementary school together, we were all together. No matter how famous you are, how much money you have, or how many shocking stories you have written, you can't erase these things or replace them. Do you admit this?"

"Yes, it seems that the same is true for the past five years we have known each other."

Wang Wenjun's face darkened and said, "You don't seem to understand what I mean."

"understand."

"No, you still don't understand. As a public figure, it's not good for your reputation to be a third party like this. The Internet is becoming increasingly developed. It's too common for a post or a micro blog to destroy a celebrity, right?"

"Is this... a threat?"

"It is to state the facts."

Liu Jingting shrugged and said, "The definition of you as a third party is too rough..."

"Liu Jingting," Wang Wenjun interrupted, "You are a writer. I don't play word games with you. You must know the sentence "Barfoot is not afraid of wearing shoes". The duel is of course a joke, but once this happens, there will be a post online that tells how a famous writer is a third party and how to break up a couple's story. I know you are working on magazines now, and it seems that you are doing well. What impact do you think after this post comes out, it will have on you and your magazine?"

Liu Jingting also lowered his face and asked, "Isn't the first thing you think about will this have any impact on Hu Xiaomi?"

Wang Wenjun was speechless and then said: "You can use a pseudonym."

Liu Jingting was speechless. The plots in TV and novels were all about a president finding a poor boy, throwing a bunch of money and saying "Give up XXX", and then the poor boy returned the money and replied with a firm heart: "It's great to have money. Don't think that you can do whatever you want with a few stinky money."

What's going on now?

"The decision on this matter is with Hu Xiaomi. I think we will end up talking about it today and we will talk about the rest of the night."

Liu Jingting distinguished his appearance and felt that if he continued, Wang Wenjun was likely to turn over the table. After talking here, he felt that this matter was bloody enough and could not even end.

Wang Wenjun seemed to realize that he was a little out of control, so he adjusted a little and continued, "And Xiaomi is older than you, don't you want others to say that you have a plot of love for a sister, right?"

Liu Jingting remembered that there was a time when he had a scandal with Yi Shuian online, and also said "Sister Love". He smiled and stood up and said, "What should I say about this? See you tonight?"

"What are you going to do?" Wang Wenjun asked vigilantly.

"It will take the time difference to go back to the hotel to sleep."

...

Liu Jingting really knows how to sleep in the hotel. And this time he slept until 8 o'clock in the evening. He completely missed Mama Hu's dinner, and his phone was called until it was out of power.

In the middle, Yang Lilu came over and called him once, confirming that he had been sleeping and did not forcefully disturb him.

After Liu Jingting woke up, he suddenly remembered the incident of attending the banquet. He took his cell phone to check the time and found that the phone was turned off. He quickly took out the charger to charge. After turning on the phone, he found that more than 30 missed calls, six text messages, and clicked on the text message and saw the last one: "If you don't come, you will reply to the phone message. What's this?"

Liu Jingting scolded himself a few words and regretted it. Since he made "Jianglu", he has been very nervous. He reviewed manuscripts, approved procedures, learned and operated daily magazines, wrote the serial of "Shuke and Beta", wrote the serial of "Fighting Break the Sky", and wrote the serial of "Legend of Lu Xiaofeng"... After getting off the plane, Lu Xiaofeng had just finished six chapters, and his mind was drowsy. When he came back from the coffee shop, he originally intended to take a break, but he didn't expect that after so long, it was a big rest and a huge rest.

How do you explain now? You are asleep? Liu Jingting sighed and called Mihu, but it turned off, and then replied to a text message: "I'm so tired, I'm asleep. I'm sorry, after the game, I personally apologized to my aunt."

Naturally, there was no response. Liu Jingting put down his cell phone, went to the bathroom to wash his face, and decided to go to Times Square to visit. The reason why Liu Jingting was obsessed with this square was mainly because of his beloved American drama "Friends". When the drama ended, Times Square in New York specially set up a projection screening finale. Nearly 3,000 people watched the show collectively and cried like an ocean.

What a spectacular scene that was that? Liu Jingting even thought that when the TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was filmed in the future, the ending would be the same.

Times Square at night is bustling, colorful neon tubes and colorful billboards all show the spirit of a prosperous commercial area, and the trailer of the TV drama reminds everyone that there is also Broadway here.

Liu Jingting walked around alone for nearly an hour, and then he got lost...

...

Starting from the second day, the drama competition officially kicked off for three days, and Mihu never replied to text messages.

On the first day, France and Germany, Germany won one more point;

The next day, China and the United States, "Romeo and Juliet" moved the audience. Except for the stage performance, all the others were scored with a total of 15 points;

The rankings after the second day are China, the United States, Germany and France.

On the third day, that is, the last day, Britain and Russia, Russian dramas tell a story of war and parting. The main plot is similar to Pu Shu's song "Birch Forest", and it also scored eight points in the end, ranking second only to China.

Then, "Hamlet" finally debuted!

This time, both props, costumes and stage sets were basically restored according to the original work, and the actors' performances were close to the extreme. Like all previous performances, the audience was shocked just halfway through the drama.

Genius and philosophical lines, shocking imagination, and treacherous and ups and downs and full of tension... If the Chinese drama plays love stories to the peak, then this drama almost raises the drama to a whole new level.

This is not a competition of the same level at all!

When the curtain of "Hamlet" slowly pulled up, the audience was silent, and even those who didn't understand the drama realized the unusualness of the drama - at least they could see through other people's expressions and admiration.

The stage lights were on again, and the actors came on stage to show their respects. The judges did not react. Some people in the audience stood up and applauded first, and then others followed suit. Finally, the judges also stood up, and the admiration from several countries sounded intertwined!

All the judges gave up scoring and directly used their hands to mark the score.

All full marks!

The applause from the audience grew louder and louder.

And these are not the most "gaochao" tonight.

After the crew of "Hamlet" left the stage, the host came on stage without saying much nonsense, and directly threw out a message that shocked the audience again: "I believe everyone is like me, and they are still immersed in this great story. "Hamlet" deserves its full mark, and no one will have any objections. At the same time, I believe everyone still remembers the second place in this competition, "Romeo and Juliet", that sad and unforgettable love story?

That’s right, now I will tell you that in this World Drama Competition, the first place in Hamlet and the second place in Romeo and Juliet, came from the same author, he is from China, Mr. Liu Jingting!”

The chase light accurately covered Liu Jingting's body below the audience, and everyone in the audience turned their shocked and speechless eyes to the Chinese boy!

Including Mihu, who was still angry, Mihu's mother, and Wang Wenjun, who was still proud of Liu Jingting's appointment that night.

At the call of the host, Liu Jingting smiled and stood up. When he moved, the eyes of the audience also moved.

The first time I did this was in the Vientiane Auditorium, facing tens of millions of students.

And this time, it was on Broadway, the United States, facing the whole world.

Tonight, almost the whole of America, his name was heard.
Chapter completed!
