Chapter 571
The writer Zheng Shan, whom Lu Qingfeng was to visit, was a professor in the College of Humanities at National Central University, responsible for teaching in the Department of Asian Cultures. He was fluent in Chinese, and Lu Qingfeng, as a junior, chatted with him for about ten minutes.
"The last time I met Professor Shen was at a seminar at Yonsei University last year. He mentioned your name then, and out of curiosity, I asked him for one of your articles, 'The Mountain Moon,' which is excellent."
"I was hoping you could have a chat with some of our country's young writers, but you mentioned that your schedule is quite tight this time, so I couldn't bother you. Let's meet again when you come to the peninsula next time."
“You flatter me. There are many excellent writers in the Peninsula. I just finished reading the book ‘The Boys Are Coming’ in April, and it was very impressive.”
Are you talking about writer Han?
Zheng Shan smiled, his face neatly groomed.
"She's no longer a young writer, but she is indeed the most talented writer in the peninsula. It's really not easy for you to read peninsula books in China."
Another reason why Peninsula literature is not well-known abroad is that it is disseminated very little. Taking China as an example, only about ten literary works are introduced each year, which is pitifully few.
However, the Korean Peninsula actually wanted to cultivate an image of a culturally strong nation. In the early 20th century, the peninsula formulated a strategy to deepen the globalization of its literature and established a professional translation institute.
The results have been quite significant; in the past two years, literary works from the peninsula have begun to win awards frequently abroad.
After drinking a cup of tea, as the conversation was coming to an end, Lu Qingfeng took the initiative to say goodbye.
When he went downstairs, Yu Youwei and Liu Yu were waiting for him, and even the girl who had led the way hadn't left.
Lu Qingfeng walked over and said thank you.
The girl waved her hands repeatedly, and her gaze towards Lu Qingfeng had changed.
After Liu Yu said those things to her, she searched for them online.
It was even more impressive than Liu Yu had told her. Needless to say, the news from Japan was readily available, and their overseas accounts were there, so domestic news was being forwarded.
You can still find videos of Lu Qingfeng promoting "The Tokyo Zodiac Murders" in Japan, including videos of his first concert.
I haven't read the whole thing, but I know this handsome guy is a very talented musician. I also found news about his luxury brand endorsement; the print ads have already been released on Van Cleef & Arpels' global website.
I naturally felt a sense of distance from this Chinese beauty guru, yet also found him quite novel.
At first, I was just attracted to the other person's looks.
There was no way around it; his looks were practically cheating. Everyone would want to take a second look, so she subconsciously adopted her most enthusiastic attitude, hoping to get to know this handsome boy who might become her junior.
It's no wonder she thought that way. At National Central University, almost everyone who is good-looking studies in the arts and film departments.
Getting to know someone first might just lead to them becoming boyfriend and girlfriend.
It turned out that the boy was not only not her junior, but not even from the peninsula. The disappointment at that moment was like a knife to her heart.
It's like digging a well and finding a gold mine, only to be told that the mining rights don't belong to her.
Then she thought again, what does it matter if she's from the peninsula? She's already grown up like this, so it's not impossible for her to go and live in China.
But the information she learned later made her lose interest, leaving only curiosity and a desire to explore.
My thoughts were in turmoil, like a rollercoaster, and I only came to my senses when I heard the other person standing in front of me and talking to me.
"Thank you, we'll be going now."
"Ah, I'll take you to the school gate. You might not be able to find the place since it's your first time here."
Lu Qingfeng couldn't understand the long string of Korean. He looked at Liu Yu, listened to the explanation, and nodded with a smile.
They're quite helpful!
The Peninsula Girls led the way, while Lu Qingfeng pondered what to do next. He had arranged to meet Peninsula artist Kim Hee-won the next day, and since it was still early, he could go for a stroll.
As he walked, he suddenly sensed something was wrong; passersby were all paying attention to their group.
More accurately, it was just him.
Looking up and scanning my surroundings, I noticed there seemed to be more students around me, and many more people walking behind me.
"They seem to think of you as some idol who's about to debut."
Liu Yu reminded him.
Lu Qingfeng frowned. He knew he was attracting a lot of attention. With the Nine-Tailed Fox's alluring talent and this appearance, it was hard not to be noticed. But he thought that he wasn't a celebrity on the peninsula, so he shouldn't be the kind of person who would be surrounded by people.
But he realized he had misunderstood.
His good looks seem to be particularly attractive to people on the peninsula.
"move."
Lu Qingfeng lowered the brim of his hat and quickened his pace.
After leaving National Central University and getting into the car, Liu Yu laughed out loud.
"Now you know how obsessed the Peninsula is with looks. On campus, anyone with a handsome face is very popular. Moreover, the idol industry is well-developed here, so everyone assumes that good-looking people will definitely debut."
"That's why many idols are already very popular before they even debut."
"If you debut here, Lu, the Korean girls will go crazy for you."
Lu Qingfeng rubbed his face.
"Stop making sarcastic remarks, let's go to the hotel and settle in first."
Liu Yu started the vehicle and drove away.
As the car drove through the streets of Seoul, Lu Qingfeng thought that although he couldn't debut in Seoul, it was still a blue ocean worth exploring.
Peninsula is the fifth largest music market in the world, and its fan culture is very well-developed, with fans having amazing purchasing power, resulting in huge profits for both offline albums and online music.
Don't forget, this is just a small country with a population of over 50 million.
The only problem is that the Korean Peninsula only recognizes Western pop music and their local K-pop, and has a low level of recognition for Chinese music, and there is a bias against it.
Lu Qingfeng's style is purely instrumental, so the cultural barriers are relatively less significant, which gives him an advantage.
He was thinking about whether he should hold two concerts here.
Young people on the peninsula love pop music, but what's interesting is that there's also a rich variety of musicals and concerts, with high-level performances regularly taking place.
It covers both classical music and traditional music of the peninsula.
There are quite a few world-class performers on the peninsula.
The book market here is also very prosperous. Physical books have maintained a growth momentum in recent years, and the digital publishing market is also developing rapidly. There are also online novels on the peninsula.
Moreover, the novel and film industries on the peninsula have a very good integration.
Many of the TV shows and movies here are adapted from novels.
Like the movie "Silenced" which is known to domestic audiences, it is based on a true story. Someone wrote a novel based on this story, and then it was adapted into a movie.
That's easy to say. Because of cultural differences, the peninsula has always been very proactive in introducing Chinese literary works.
Works like those of Shen Ruishu are very popular on the peninsula.
You can let Xiuxiu come over here for a look.
He thought to himself silently.
