At London Heathrow International Airport, Lin Zixuan was greeted by the publishing staff and sent him to the arranged hotel.

The publishing house formulated a schedule around Christmas for him.

First, there is an interview with a Times reporter, then a bookmark meeting, and also attend a book club and recite your works in public. Finally, it is a cultural salon in the London literary and artistic circles.

The two sides communicated in advance about these itineraries, and Lin Zixuan followed the customs and agreed.

Not long after staying in the hotel, Director Chen's daughter came over. Chen Lu was fifteen years old and went to high school in the UK. He was lively and familiar with Lin Zixuan.

The main reason is that the two are different and there is not much communication.

"Uncle, I'll bring you the magazine you want." Chen Lu took out a stack of English magazines from his backpack and placed them on the table.

This is a British literary magazine, which is not common in China. There is no need to mail it from the UK specifically. It is available in the library of Chen's school.

The literary magazines selected by Chen Lu all published commentary articles about "Xiaoxue's Big Adventure".

Lin Zixuan wants to be interviewed by British newspapers. He wants to know the true view of the British literary critics on this book. He cannot just listen to the publisher's words, otherwise he may make a joke.

He knew that "Xiaoxue's Big Adventure" was just a best-selling film, and the highlight was imagination, not literary.

If you really think that this is a literary masterpiece that has been passed down from generation to generation and then talk about it blatantly, then there is a problem.

The simplest point is that he would never win the Nobel Prize in Literature for this book.

Lin Zixuan should consider the position of this film in the British literary world from both market and professional literary commentary.

"Thank you for your hard work, little." Lin Zixuan said gently.

"It's not hard, by the way, uncle, what they wrote may not be very nice." Chen Lu hesitated.

It can be seen that the little girl has read these literary magazines, which contain critical articles.

"I just see what they say, and I have a clear idea in my heart. Don't be embarrassed by the reporter's questioning and asking questions." Lin Zixuan joked, "Why do you think about it for me and how should you fight back against them?"

"I don't know. I think you wrote very well. My classmates also have your book fans." Chen Lu shook his head and said.

"You have Christmas holidays. You can bring those students who like this to the sign-up party. They don't have to buy books, I'll give them to them." Lin Zixuan invited.

"Okay, let's come here to help my uncle." Chen Lu said happily.

There will be a publishing house to sign up, but there is no need for help, but it is much more convenient to have a familiar person around you.

This is Lin Zixuan's first time in London. He is not familiar with the place, so it's okay to find a small guide.

After chatting for a while, they naturally talked about Director Chen. Director Chen had just finished filming of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and had to carry out post-dubbing and subsequent promotion at global film festivals.

"Brother Chen will be very busy next year. He will have the opportunity to come to the UK to do publicity in July and August. I can come and see you." Lin Zixuan estimated.

"I've been used to it for a long time." Chen Lu said calmly.

Lin Zixuan didn’t know what to say. As a top domestic actor, Director Chen will definitely be very busy. Once he joined the crew, especially when he went to another place, he basically couldn’t go home for half a year.

This way, I spend less time with my children and I can easily become unfamiliar.

Seeing Chen off, Lin Zixuan looked through the literary magazine in front of him.

The little girl was careful and folded the pages related to "Xiaoxue's Big Adventure" into a small corner to facilitate Lin Zixuan's search.

According to the publisher, it is very popular among young British readers, and has been on the sales rankings of mainstream media and has been read by many British writers.

However, there are many criticisms in more professional literary magazines.

The critics discussed the story structure, narrative style, as well as literary and internal themes, and concluded that this is a second-rate popular film.

In the world literary world, there are also debates between serious literature and popular literature.

"Xiaoxue's Big Adventure" is obviously classified as popular literature, which means that this book may be best-selling, but it is not popular among professional literary writers.

They agree more with "Living" and "Xu Sanguan's Blood Record".

Some critics even believe that this is a regression in Lin Zixuan's writing career.

After reading these comments, Lin Zixuan felt at ease, adjusted his mindset, and faced the next interview calmly.

The Times has a considerable influence in the UK. The publisher can invite reporters from this newspaper, and has made a lot of efforts behind it.

Of course, Lin Zixuan himself has won the Italian Literature Award and is best-selling in the UK, and has the value of interviews.

The interview was located in a conference room at the publishing house.

Behind Lin Zixuan are several translated works, including French and Italian versions of "Living" and "The Blood of Xu Sanguan", as well as English versions of "Xiaoxue's Adventure".

A photographer took a few photos of Lin Zixuan on the side, indicating that this interview would not be the kind of tofu block-like article.

Reports that can attach photos will occupy at least half of the page, or may be a full page.

However, such interviews cannot be the headlines of The Times, and at most they are published in the literary supplements of newspapers.

When the reporter asked about Lin Zixuan’s life and creative path in China, he focused on “Little Snow’s Big Adventure”.

"The reason for this story is that I want to tell fairy tales to my daughter. Instead of reading stories written by other writers, I might as well write one by myself and treat it as a gift to my daughter." Lin Zixuan explained.

"The story in the book takes place in London. How did you think of putting the background in London?" asked the British reporter.

"This is a choice after careful consideration. I have thought about Denmark, but the fairy tales in Nordic have innocent colors and do not meet my ideas. The United States gives people a feeling that they are too noisy and not suitable for fairy tales survival. Only Britain has the most magical colors, which is most in line with this story." Lin Zixuan replied.

"Has your creation been influenced by Chinese literary works? The characters in them are very vivid." The reporter asked.

Lin Zixuan realized that the reporter had always wanted to direct the topic to British literature, and wanted to make "Little Snow's Big Adventure" related to British literature. It would be better that he could speak words such as admiring British culture.

"In fact, I don't have many British literary works," said Lin Zixuan. "This should be the credit of the translator. The version you see is a translated work. This is my first time in the UK."

Although it was nothing to say a few words to make money from the British, Lin Zixuan still did not cooperate with the reporter.

As for how the reporter wrote the article after he went back, he didn't care.

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve in the West, and the signing meeting will be held at 10 a.m. (To be continued.)
