Chapter 253 "Harry Potter" released
a few days later.
June [-]st International Children's Day.
Carp streamers can be seen fluttering from rooftops across the island nation, whether it's a metropolis like Kyoto or a poorer mountain town in Hokkaido.
This is the deepest expectation of the Orientals for their children.
Ye Kai was driving on the road along the lake, wondering if he should post a Weibo for the new book?
Today is the time for Harry Potter to be released in the UK. Ye Kaixin is still a little nervous. He wants to let Chinese readers know about his new book as soon as possible.
I was also afraid that they would not understand why I wanted to write a foreign novel.
There is a pop music chart in Netease Cloud in the car. There are mostly English songs on this list, and occasionally Japanese and Chinese songs can be heard.
Now he can understand it, which is great.
"Forget it, let's talk about it when the book becomes popular." Ye Kai muttered.
Not so confident after all.
His understanding of European culture is not that deep. After writing this book, Ye Kai has not dared to open a new book, just to see the response of Harry Potter after its release.
However, it's not good to publish a new book without telling Huaxia's readers.
So Ye Kai was going to give them a little information, so as not to be dug out in the end, and blame himself for not telling them anything.
As for what readers think...
Then there's no way.
If the sales of this book in Europe are good, the publishing house will naturally consult with Ye Kai to translate it into Chinese and send it to China. If the sales are not good...
That's not good.
Ye Kai thought it over a long time ago. If this book is not good, it means that he does not have the ability and experience to write foreign novels. He will continue to hone in China for a few years.
Let’s talk about the trip a few days ago.
After leaving Hokkaido, Ye Kai stayed in Kyoto all the time, staying in a hotel next to the Shibuya intersection, sitting on the balcony, he could see the most trafficked intersection in the world.
When commuting to and from get off work every day, there will be turbulent crowds from all directions. At most, more than 3000 people will pass through the intersection at the same time. It is definitely a scenery during the journey.
This is also the filming location of Resident Evil in the island country.
Yesterday Ye Kai took a helicopter to fly over Kyoto and saw the real steel forest.
Or Sea of Steel.
He has known for a long time that Kyoto is very big, but he can never feel it when he lives in it. It feels no different from other cities.
But only when you fly in the sky will you find it.
No matter which direction you look, you can only see the house.
Countless high-rise buildings have no boundaries at all, as if a modern ocean belongs to itself.After all, nearly 4000 million people live in Kyoto, which is almost twice that of Huaxia Yanjing.
Everything I saw in Kyoto was built after the end of World War II, when the area was bombed by American missiles and turned into ruins.The present Kyoto was rebuilt on top of the ruins.
The pilot said all this with pride.
After being shocked, Ye Kai suddenly thought of Shenzhen City in his own country. It was a small fishing village a few decades ago, but now it has become an international city?
So I no longer feel how powerful the Kyoto metropolitan area is.
After visiting Kyoto by helicopter, Ye Kai continued south, driving through Honshu.
On the other side of the lake is the famous Mount Fuji.
But I don’t know if it’s the wrong season. The peak of Mt. Fuji is covered by clouds and mist, and I can only see some snow-covered mountainsides and a forest on the ground.
All this did not affect Ye Kai, nor did it stop.
The place that made him leave Kyoto was not Mount Fuji, but an extremely ancient mountain road. He wanted to walk this mountain road from Kyoto to the capital of the island country hundreds of years ago.

英国
The British love to read books very much. Whether in roadside cafes or fast food restaurants, on the subway or in trains, you can always see British people holding books.
This tone, this compelling style, is very high, very high.
So it is not for nothing that British books are expensive, because demand determines the market.
In the Stanfords bookstore, Ye Kai's books are placed in the most conspicuous place, you can see them almost as soon as you enter the door, and there are huge promotional posters on the outer wall of the bookstore.
It stands to reason that Ye Kai's book does not have such a big influence.
Especially in this famous bookstore.
Stanfords has two stores in London and Bristol in the UK. This one is near Covent Garden. The store is very eye-catching and belongs to the flagship store.
This is the largest travel bookstore in the world.
The owner of the bookstore is old, but he still likes to travel, and he knows Ye Kai.
A traveler is not rare, and a photographer is not rare.
But when an excellent photographer becomes a traveler, it is not a simple photo to bring to those who like to see the outside world but cannot travel far.
Each of Ye Kaikai's Weibo works is a carefully selected masterpiece.
Some time ago, Ye Kai posted a Weibo in the island country. There were several photographs of snowy scenes on it, and the photo recording Ye Kai’s photography moment was particularly liked by the boss.
So after knowing that "Harry Potter" was written by Ye Kai, he gave Ye Kai the best treatment.
Generally, it is the new books released by internationally renowned authors that will be placed directly in this position of the bookstore. Other than that, they are all the bestsellers of the season.
Many people who specialize in buying books in bookstores can see the neat new books on the shelves at a glance.
"Who wrote it?"
Irene, who wandered into the store, picked up the book.
KAI YE?
The style of this name is...oriental?China is still an island country.
Books from the island country can often be seen in Europe and the United States, but books by Chinese authors are not popular in Europe and the United States, let alone placed in prime positions in bookstores.
From the title and cover of the book, Irene can vaguely guess the style of the book.
Mysterious magic.
After all, the name of this book is called the mysterious Philosopher's Stone.
And judging by the title, this is still a series of novels.
She didn't plan to buy it at first. Can you read a European magic novel written by an oriental?However, after discovering that this is a series of novels, it may be because the bookstore gave this book such a high evaluation.
So Erin took the book and walked to the cashier.
Except for this bookstore, other bookstores do not have such good sales. First of all, the book has not been opened, and people cannot see the early plot of the book.
I don't know if this book is good or not.
The important thing is that the book is very expensive, and many people feel that it is not worth the money, because they have not seen any publicity about this book before, which indirectly leads many people to think that it is a book that hits the street.
About three blocks away from the Stanfords bookstore, Mr. Harvey also bought the book as a Children's Day gift for his daughter.
In different places, different people walked out of the bookstore with "Harry Potter", whether they were reading it for themselves or giving it to their daughters.
Always have to see if the book is good or not.
So many people tore open the packaging on the subway or in the park, and opened "Harry Potter".
The boy who survived.
The Dursleys, who lived at No. 4 Privet Drive, always boasted that they were a very well-behaved family.They have never had anything to do with mysteries, because they don't believe in crooked ways at all.
Mr. Vernon Desza was an executive at a company called Groening, which made drilling rigs.He is tall and burly, so fat that he hardly even has a neck...
A cat that can turn into a human.
People in green cloaks appearing on the streets in broad daylight, meteor showers all over England, flocks of owls in the streets...
All these seem to have some magical power that has been attracting Irene's mind, forcing her to keep turning the pages, and even forget everything around her.
The atmosphere created by the author is too mysterious. Irene wants to find something about magic in every word in the book, but the real world in the book doesn't know that there is magic at all.
That is to say, everything about magic has been kept secret?
Erin was relieved to see Harry finally being picked up from that cramped, spider-infested cupboard. She never wanted to see Harry continue to live with a family of ugly, stupid relatives up.
Is the mysterious magical world about to unfold?
She looked up at the bright lights of the subway, and was still immersed in the world of the novel until she saw the place where the subway was running now.
This is almost to the terminal station, 7 stations beyond the station where I want to get off the subway.
my Lord!
How engrossed am I?
On the other side of the ocean, Ye Kai parked his car at a camp on Zhongshan Road, carrying only a travel bag with necessary food and water.
In the south of the island country, there is a city called Heian-kyo.
Until the founding of Kyoto in 1868, Heian-kyo had always been the capital of the island country, and there was a great road between the two cities compared to the island country.
This is the Nakasendo Road, the post road that connected Edo to Heiankyo in the Edo period of the island country.
When there were no vehicles in the past, in the era of samurai and generals, this road was the only route from Edo to Heian-kyo, and the whole journey took more than 18 days.
The island country has been in a nationwide blockade until it was opened by naval guns.
At that time, China's internal management was not so strict. Even ordinary people could walk around the country, as long as they didn't get caught.
In the island country, it is still necessary to undergo countless interrogations before leaving a city.
Because there are forests and wild animals everywhere, such a road is very precious. For hundreds of years, students who want to go to Heian capital to study, and island samurai who practice Bushido have to walk this road.
And it has not undergone any modern repairs until now.
After Ye Kai learned about this place a few days ago, he always wanted to take a trip on this road to see how the former islanders passed this road.
There are a total of 69 camps along the way, which can actually be understood as post stations on the ancient road, which later developed into small towns or villages.
There is definitely no way to go all the way, because many road sections have been damaged, but there are enough road sections preserved to provide a feeling of living in the Edo period of the island country.
Is there a greater way than this way?
Of course there are.
The Silk Road and the Ancient Tea-Horse Road were extremely important transportation routes in ancient times.
But neither of these two roads has the style of ancient times.
