Chapter 4
Martin opened the door and saw two guests sitting in the living room.
He was not too surprised. He guessed that it was someone from Random House. Being able to come to the door in person showed that they valued their"Kung Fu Panda".
Benjamin and Sheena also saw Martin, and they were"amazing" at first sight!
The 11-year-old boy walked in the door in the sunshine. His thick brown semi-long hair was neatly combed behind his head and was rimmed with gold by the sunshine. His blue eyes were like the sea, his nose was straight, his facial features were handsome and three-dimensional, and finally The most touching thing is the sunshine and confidence that radiates from the inside out.
Is this Martin Meyers?
"Look, who is back, our little writer! Grant stood up with a smile, walked to Martin, put his arm around his shoulders, and introduced him:"This is Mr. Georgia, the publishing editor of Random House, and his assistant, Miss Sheena. They are The person in charge of your"Kung Fu Panda" movie"
"Hello, Mr. Georgia, Miss Sheena!"
Benjamin saw the little boy showing an expression of surprise at first, then immediately regained his composure, and greeted him and Hina politely. He thought to himself that this little boy is really calm. And then he thought that he was creating at such a young age. With such a wonderful fairy tale like"Kung Fu Panda" coming out, it feels even more incredible. A little boy who is only 11 years old can actually write such a story?
"My name is Benjamin Georgia, Martin Meyers Hello, you can call me Benjamin."Although his mood was ups and downs, Benjamin still said with a smile.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Benjamin."Martin nodded and smiled like a little gentleman.
Benjamin pondered for a moment, and then said seriously:"Mr. Martin, I have a few questions to ask you."
After hesitation, he decided to treat Martin as an adult. He possessed a stability and etiquette that ordinary children of this age did not have.
Of course, in the United States, most children from wealthy families learn etiquette from an early age, but in front of him This person gave him a completely different feeling - there was no unfamiliar copying or stiff acting that the etiquette had not yet integrated into his bones, and there was a sense of calmness and elegance.
But he didn't know that, for the succubus, ,"Elegance" is an instinct, which is very similar to the elves in the god camp.
Even when facing death, the succubus will not do any behavior that damages its image - such as crying, wailing for mercy, etc.
Martin sat down opposite Benjamin, and Aranda brought a cup of black tea at the right time.
"Thanks! Martin took a sip and felt calm.
Even Grant on the side looked a little surprised. When did his son become so famous? Is this still the little Martin I know?
Then, Martin put down the cup. , said to Benjamin:"Mr. Benjamin, you can ask whatever you want. As long as it's not too outrageous, I will answer it. Benjamin calmed down and said,"Mr. Martin, actually I have only one question. Can you tell me about your original intention and process of creating this story?""
"certainly!"
Martin smiled. He knew the doubts in Benjamin's heart. His age would always have some influence on certain things.
Although Benjamin's tone was as gentle as possible, the succubus' keen senses still made Martin feel what he had hidden deep in his heart. That doubt
"Mr. Benjamin, I created this story because I had no more stories."
"No more stories?"
Benjamin looked confused and didn't understand.
"Yes, I usually tell stories to my classmates on the way to the school bus, but fairy tales like The Mermaid and Snow White are too young, and children my age don’t like to listen to them; and fairy tales like The Little Prince and Hamlet are too young. Even though they have become adults, they still don’t like to hear it."
"One day, my father took me to the zoo. We went to see the lions and the pandas from China. I suddenly thought of Disney's"The Lion King" released the year before.》"
"Since Disney was able to use animals instead of people to tell Shakespeare's stories, and it was so popular, why couldn't I also use animals to tell a story?"
"So, there is this"Kung Fu Panda"》"
"Was it because you were inspired by seeing giant pandas from China in the zoo?"
"This is just one of the reasons, and another reason is-I like Chinese culture."
I think Mr. Benjamin must have noticed that I used a lot of Chinese details in this story. For example, the five masters actually represent the five Chinese boxing techniques-Tiger Fist, Crane Fist, Monkey Fist, Snake Fist, and Mantis Fist; There is also the word 'Shou' on the back of 'Kuai Mantis'; as well as the architectural shape and decoration of the Jade Palace."
The little guy paused here, took a leisurely sip of black tea to moisten his throat, and then continued :
"To be honest, the writing process of this story was very smooth. It seemed that there was endless inspiration coming from my head. Not only the inspiration for the plot, but also the stories kept popping up in my head during the process of writing the book. Various animal images in it - the majestic and loving raccoon master, the arrogant and gentle tiger, the honest and steady crane, the humorous and quick-tempered praying mantis, the warm-hearted pretty little dragon, the ferocious Taro, as well as the easy-going, innocent, The active and playful panda Po……"
Benjamin listened attentively.
Hina on the side was holding her chin in her hand and looking at the young man talking in front of her without blinking. She thought Martin's young and mature look was so handsome!
"By the way, I also drew them, please wait a moment."
Martin stood up from the sofa and trotted upstairs.
Benjamin said sincerely to Grant and Linda:"Your son is very good."
Grant and Linda looked proud.
But at the same time, Grant still had doubts in his heart. When did Martin understand Chinese culture so well?
After a while, Martin came back carrying a cardboard box.
"Mr. Benjamin, these are all portraits I created of the characters in the book."
Martin said as he opened the carton, and vivid anthropomorphic animal images appeared in front of everyone.
Benjamin looked at it in surprise, and kept making"wow" sounds in his mouth:"It seems that our illustrations are ready."
