After finishing the activity of the Book Fan Club, Lin Zixuan took Chen Lu back to the hotel.

His activities in London were basically over, and the remaining academic salons can be attended or not.

Xuesalon is a popular social interaction method in the Western academic community. The participants include writers, academic critics, editors and artists from publishers, etc. Everyone gathers together to drink and chat.

It's a small circle in the London academic community.

Lin Zixuan is not familiar with British writers and has never read their works. If you can't talk about them together, it will be boring to participate in such activities.

If there weren't some items to be processed, he would rather return to China as soon as possible.

Chen Lu lives in a Chinese family in London. He has been temporarily staying in the hotel for the past two days because he has to accompany Lin Zixuan to run around.

Tomorrow is a holiday day, and major stores will offer discounts and promotions, which is equivalent to a shopping festival. The British will make crazy purchases on this day.

Lin Zixuan felt that he should buy some gifts and took them back, so he agreed to go shopping with Chen Lu.

He called the country and asked Mu Shanshan for his opinion.

He doesn't care much about buying gifts. He usually buys some specialties at the airport shop.

Gifts are not expensive, but they are a kind of heart. They are not only gifts to family members, but also relatives and friends. Relationships are inevitable.

Mu Shanshan used to do programs and often went abroad and had some understanding of various countries.

After chatting about gifts, life trivial matters, and work.

Mu Shanshan is going to Hangzhou in two days to prepare for the live broadcast of the finals of "Voice of China" and put a perfect end to the program.

Except for the Spring Festival Gala of China TV, few variety shows in China use live broadcasts, and live broadcasts are prone to problems.

There is a pre-spreading tape for the Spring Festival Gala, but "Voice of China" does not.

The finals champion was selected on the spot, and the emotions of the students and the audience were difficult to predict, and no one knew what would happen.

Live broadcast is the best publicity stunt, which can not only respond to doubts about the program, but also attract audiences and increase ratings.

Since "Voice of China" was broadcast on TV, some media have questioned the fairness of the program and believed that the elimination of students was the result of the program team and celebrity mentors.

A competition program will inevitably lead to controversy. Controversy brings attention and plays a role in promoting the program.

However, if the dispute must be controlled within a certain range, it cannot be a one-sided criticism, then the show will have no reputation.

The live broadcast of the finals can resolve various doubts about the program to a certain extent.

In the final battle, the audience who sang the best is in their eyes and ears, it is difficult to fake it, and the mentor cannot speak lies with his eyes open, at least it makes the audience feel fair.

Is there any shady scenes or internal decisiveness in "Voice of China"? This must be.

Now that the competition has come, some students have reached a private agreement with the music company, and once the program is over, both parties will sign a contract.

Of course, the music company wants to make the students they are optimistic about win the championship. Only by having the title of the championship can it be released for albums and promotion.

It can be said that the six students who entered the finals were supported by music companies, but there was only one championship.

The music company uses its own resources to find song rehearsals for students, build relationships with mentors, and uses the media to discredit other students, striving to push the students they are optimistic about to the throne of the championship.

Mu Shanshan doesn't care about the music company's private actions, as long as it doesn't go too far, it will affect the reputation of the program.

If there is interests, there will be entanglements, and such things cannot be banned.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Zixuan took Chen Lu to the hotel restaurant for dinner.

Although Lin Zixuan has lived in New York for half a year, he still can't get used to Western food. He felt it was difficult to swallow when he looked at the thick soup in front of him.

"When we were in New York in 1992, we cooked our own meals. The taste of Chinese restaurants in New York was not right, let alone Western food. The main reason was to save money. At that time, the crew was too poor and rented a car to choose the cheapest one." Lin Zixuan talked about the past through the topic of food.

After getting along for the past few days, he and Chen Lu have a lot of familiarity and can talk about some in-depth topics.

"The food in the Chinese restaurant in London is not delicious. I was not used to it when I first came here. Now it's much better." Chen Lu responded.

"Living abroad is not easy." Lin Zixuan sighed, "Language and living habits are both problems, and there is also racial discrimination. We will encounter many difficulties when filming TV series. When people see that you are Asian, they will not do a good job for you. If they delay for a few days, some will take the opportunity to blackmail them."

Because the two families are getting closer, Chen Lu knows Lin Zixuan quite well and knows the past of Lin Zixuan, Feng Xiaogang and others.

When the TV series "The People in Beijing in New York" was broadcast, she was only seven or eight years old and didn't have a deep impression on her, but she knew it was the first series in China to be filmed in the United States.

It was a sensation that year that Feng Xiaogang made his mark with this TV series.

Today, these people have become leaders in the domestic entertainment industry. Feng Xiaogang has led the exhibition of domestic commercial films. Jiang Wen's unique art film style has made Ge You the best actor in the international film festival.

Behind this is Lin Zixuan's shadow.

Listening to Lin Zixuan talking about the hard-working past and thinking about the current scenery, Chen Lu felt a little moved.

Lin Zixuan and Chen Daoming are her elders.

Chen Lu was awe at first, but after getting to know him, he felt that Lin Zixuan was approachable and had no airs of elders.

Especially in the interactions with book fans these days, Lin Zixuan has always maintained a gentle attitude, not at all like a powerful figure in the domestic entertainment industry.

That's because she didn't see Lin Zixuan's appearance when she was working.

As a writer, you naturally cannot be serious when facing book fans, as it will scare children. As a boss, facing subordinates is another situation, and everyone has a different face.

Just as Lin Zixuan faces Chen Lu, treating her as a junior, he will not let her see her strict side.

Chen Lu also likes the story of "Xiaoxue's Big Adventure".

She still couldn't understand "Living" and "Xu Sanguan's Blood Record" and had no interest, but her father highly praised it.

Besides, there are not many domestic writers' novels that are best-selling abroad, and she is very happy to meet book fans with Lin Zixuan.

With these factors, Chen Lu let go of his life in front of Lin Zixuan, and was less restrictive, and talked about his life in school.

The two of them were having a meal and chatting casually.

The hotel they stayed in is in the center of London. Looking out from the restaurant window, you can see the view on the street outside.

Groups of young people were playing and celebrating on the street, and the atmosphere was warm.

Chen Lu looked at the young men and women. If it were the past, she would have participated and felt the cheerful Christmas atmosphere, but now she is sitting in the restaurant of a high-end hotel and tastes expensive Western food.

It was a relatively quiet Christmas for her.

The little girl suddenly felt like she was growing up. This is the adult world and the adult life.

She thought this was pretty good. (To be continued.)
