Chapter 384

"A Song of Ice and Fire", after entering the official battle of the Five Kings, almost every time Lin Bao updates a chapter, it will cause a lot of discussion.

is not only in the comments below the galaxy.com, but even the hot search on Weibo has become the "comment area" of Lin Bao's book.

#小恶魔被囚禁#

#史塔克家族养子背叛#

#龙妈的龙丢了#

......

Many viewers who are not accustomed to watching every day can even basically see the entire plot development on the hot search.

Of course, such a statement is a bit exaggerated, but after entering the second season, "A Song of Ice and Fire" began to really become popular in China. The entire plot, setting, characters, netizens are discussing these elements as if they are chasing a drama.

Moreover, because the whole is a Western fantasy background, some domestic netizens have also spread the whole story to foreign countries through various channels.

......

Dragon&sword is a well-known niche forum abroad.

In fact, just like the name of the station, this is a colony for Western fantasy fans. The dragon and the sword are a very important element in the modern Western fantasy. It is also a refuge for this group of authors and readers who are outside of serious literature.

Dannelly is a loyal reader of the Dragon Sword website, and moreover, a veteran reader. At the beginning of the century, when the Dragon Sword Forum was established, he began to mingle in it. At that time, many domestic and foreign dragon sword types were translated and reprinted into the forum, and became the object of pursuit by these loyal readers.

Moreover, with the film and television of classics such as "The Lord of the Rings", the popularity of the forum has increased.

A lot of classic reviews of film and television, and even some fanworks, are out of such a forum.

So, although it's small, it's a home for some dragon sword type fans, and the stickiness is very high.

With the popularity of "The Lord of the Rings" film and television, Long Jian gained a large number of fans as soon as it established its website, and after nearly ten years of operation, it has not developed too much.

There is mainly a reason, or in recent years, there has been no real amazing appearance of dragon sword works. "The Lord of the Rings", that is all in the last century and thirty years.

Although the Western fantasy genre in the West has a long heritage, in recent years, and even in recent decades, it has been in a barren state. In the eighties and nineties of the last century, with the emergence of fantasy comics and Marvel Comics, the display of such pictorial fantasy scenes was naturally more popular with the audience than words.

However, Dannelly himself is not interested in comic books similar to the Marvel hero Superman, preferring more serious Western fantasy literature. The kind of dragon sword worldview that can only be described in words can really make him feel his thoughts flying.

After work, as soon as he got home, Dannelly turned on the computer, logged on to Long Jian's account, and clicked into a post that only advanced users could see.

The name of the post is called, "A Song of Ice and Fire", which is only being translated and serialized......"

This post was created more than a month ago by a member of the site to update a song called "A Song of Ice and Fire".

This one, it seems to have come from a website in the East, and then translated by this member of the station who is proficient in the Oriental language.

In fact, in the past few years, on the Dragon Sword website, there have been a lot of Western illusions from the East.

This kind of theme has entered a period of weakness in the West, but in the East, it seems to have ushered in a recovery.

This kind of East, called the Internet, is a bit like a Marvel hero story, too idealistic, too focused on a transcendent protagonist. In the world of Dragon Sword, all kinds of world-destroying magic are simply too unreal. So, for readers like Dannelly, it's not particularly interesting.

However, this one, called "A Song of Ice and Fire", is completely different from other networks translated from the East. Dannelly can see the shadow of the serious Western fantasy that has really been inherited from "The Lord of the Rings" from it, so he has been watching it every day since it started the first chapter update.

Because it is a free translation, the speed of translation is not fast, and it basically maintains the speed of updating every two days.

But what makes Dannelly a little strange is that it's been three days lately, and the post still hasn't been updated.

Today is the fourth day.

He logged in and swiped the post to the author's latest update, and found that it was still the chapter from four days ago.

"WTF!, why haven't you updated yet?"

Dannelly was a little frantic when he saw the update time that didn't move.

Because, recently, the plot has just reached the moment of a housekeeper.

As the lord of the North, Ned Stark discovered the secret of the prince's identity after the king's death, so he prepared to set up a new king. But what he didn't expect was that several ministers who had said that they would join him in the incident betrayed him, and in the end, Ned was imprisoned.

Then, the plot broke off here.

It hasn't been updated for four days, and this author already owes two!

"What happened next? Ned was arrested because he knew the secret of the prince's identity, and the queen's family would definitely not let him go...... These ministers are also, none of them are simply masters, one set in front of people, one set in the back...... And, by the way, Daenerys, Drogo is dying, how can she survive in the Dostak tribe...... Eh, this author has buried so many threads, why don't you update it quickly......"

Angrily swiped the webpage a few times, and went to the homepage of the author of this translation update to look, and there was no notice, or a hint of going online, Dannelly had no choice but to close the webpage, and then logged on to Facebook, and clicked into one of Longjian's book friend groups.

Sure enough, as soon as I entered, I saw that everyone was also discussing, why the translator hadn't updated it.

"@奈德是我的神, why hasn't it been updated for four days!"

"I'm going crazy!

"Is the translator short of money?"

"Did you get caught?"

"Be patient, after all, we are also free to read, and the author is also translating word by word. ”

"I've always wanted to complain about the name Queen Cersei, the author translated it correctly......"

"@奈德是我的神"

......

"Ned is my god" is the translator's name.

From this name, you can also see the translator's love for the character of Ned.

In fact, in this play, a character like Ned is indeed everyone's favorite, and it is also a very reassuring character.

The plot has come to this point, Ned is caught, and Dannelly guesses that he should have other arrangements in the future, or other friends to help.

However, it seems that the translator has not appeared in the group for several days.

There was no update, and I didn't see the translator's reply, so everyone was helpless, so they could only put it down for the time being, and then continue to discuss the plot in the group.

We talked until eleven o'clock in the evening.

"[Ned is my god]: I'm sorry, everyone, I've been too obsessed with this book lately, so I'll ...... Forgot to update. ”

Suddenly, the translator sent a message.

Suddenly, after a moment of silence, the ellipsis began to be brushed continuously.

Well, you're so fascinated that we people are waiting here frantically.

However, because they translate for free, no one can say anything.

"God, what's going on next? Did Ned get out of prison?"

Someone suddenly sent a message.

"No spoilers!"

"WTF, spoilers won't be spared!"

Suddenly a group of people below blocked it.

"Ned is dead......"

The translator sent this sentence, followed by an expression that I want to eat.

“What？”

The group members in the group suddenly looked confused.

Dannelly was also a little surprised, how could Ned die?

"How did you die?"

"In a few chapters, he will be executed by the new king!"

Behind it was another expression that I was going to eat.

“What f......”

"How is that possible?"

"Directly executed?"

"It's too ......"

......

Stanley almost screamed when he saw the message from the translator.

Ned was executed so easily?

So fast?

Supposedly, shouldn't he make some arrangements in prison, even if there is an accident, such a person should be assassinated, or die on the battlefield?

"Do you feel like you want to eat?"

The translator sent out another cheap expression, "This plot has aroused strong opposition in the East. It is said that several tons of blades have already been received at the home of the original author. ”

"Why do you want to put away the blades?"

"This is a habit in the East, it is a kind of death threat, of course, it is not really a matter of doing it, it is just a kind of complaining. In the East, readers also don't accept this plot very much, so they all send blades to the author's house to express their dissatisfaction, haha. When I think of the author's house, which is full of blades, I feel that it is so cool! Who made him write such a poisonous plot!"

The translator's tone was full of pleasure.

In fact, because he himself has to work, plus the matter of translating for the netizens of the website, he basically reads one chapter and translates one.

Four days ago, translating to that one, Ned died, and he instantly had a feeling of unbearable.

How can Ned die?

Ned is his god!

Immediately, I began to pay attention to the situation on the Eastern Network. Sure enough, whether it is that website or some forums in the East, all of them are sprayed with that author, and there are all kinds of sending blades.

If it weren't for the trouble of sending things across the ocean, he would have wanted to send his big kitchen knife to the author.

"However, this was more than half a month ago. ”

The translator added, "The plot behind it is not too abusive." Moreover, now that the author has finished writing the first season, the second season has already begun. ”

"Season two? And season two? Now season one?"

"What's going on?

"Is it going to be a film and television drama?"

"Where is the plot now?"

......

"Ned's death is roughly the plot that the first season is about to end. At the end of the first season, there is a very good-looking plot that is almost explosive!"

The translator said excitedly, "If you are interested, you can also go to the website I sent to you before and read the original version." ”

The rest of the group would be silent for a while.

If you don't know the Oriental script, otherwise, you will be waiting here for two days to translate a copy?

"Moreover, it is very rude for me to translate that author now. Without the consent of the original author...... This book, in the East, is free of charge in the front 100,000 words, and the back is charged. It's not much, but it's a royalty ......"

Said the translator.

The members of the group also nodded.

They all understand this.

In the Dragon Sword Forum, for so many years, everyone understands this truth.

Many Western authors who update in the forum, everyone is respectful, even if the other party updates for free, the forum will also do a lot of welfare and donation activities.

"I don't know if we can contact the Oriental author, how about we pay for you to translate?"

These book friends who are mixed in Longjian are basically in their thirties and forties, and they are not short of money.

What's missing is just a good story that is constantly updated!

"I can't get in touch, and even if I do, it's definitely impossible for people to agree to let me continue translating, on the contrary, when I look into it, the previous content will be deleted. ”

The translator said, "I heard that the first season of this book is already ready to be published in the East!

"Why don't you contact the author and get him published abroad?"

Someone said suddenly.

"I know a publishing house, it's okay, I can talk, why don't I get in touch?"

"I also know some people in the publishing industry, and if I go tell them this story, they will definitely be interested!"

"The Lord of the Rings sold so much money, I don't believe the publisher doesn't like this kind of story!"

......

Looking at everyone's speeches, the translator paused for a moment and said: "Actually, this author is very famous in the East, and besides, he is also famous in the West. Have you ever heard of the book "The Self-cultivation of Actors"? ”

"What, he wrote the book?"

“What？”

"This acting textbook he wrote?"

Everyone was a little stunned.

An Oriental author who writes books on performance theory created this "A Song of Ice and Fire"?

Before, everyone thought that this must be an Eastern author who knows more about Western culture, and may even live in the West?

Unexpectedly, he was so versatile that he could write "The Self-cultivation of an Actor".

Some time ago, until now, "The Self-cultivation of Actors" has been very popular in the Western world.

Even many ordinary people who are not interested in acting, people from other professions, have heard of this book.

However, it has been on several bestseller lists, and it is said that it may have a far-reaching, even subversive, impact on the entire performance industry.

Although this is a bit of a sinister statement, everyone knows that this book is remarkable and has become a near-textbook material in the teaching courses of top film schools such as New York University and the University of Southern California.

And, now, in turn, it is the Oriental author who wrote the book, who wrote "A Song of Ice and Fire"?

It's unbelievable!

This is a great god author!

"It's not just "The Self-cultivation of Actors", the author, but also a music master, is very famous in the East. ”

The translator continued.

"Yes, he's a musician!"

Someone in the group suddenly said.

This incident has been reported in many domestic media before.

The book "Actor's Self-cultivation", and the author's deeds after becoming famous in the United States, have also been constantly reported by the media. The author of "The mass", the author of "Pure Land of Bliss", the author of the new theme song of the shipwreck "My Heart is Eternal", his works have been on the Vienna Golden Hall, received universal recognition from the classical music world, and in the East, it is a godfather-level existence.

At that time, with the disclosure and reporting of this information, everyone felt a little incredible.

How can a person be so gifted and so versatile?

Even, some people feel that this is a premeditated cultural invasion from the East.

However, how is it possible that top-level works in various industries such as "The mass" and "Pure Land of Bliss" are all crowned by a young man under the age of thirty?

Moreover, now on YouTube, there are also many Oriental people named Lin Bao, performing at the entrance of the Vienna Golden Hall, as well as the video of him teaching music lessons in the East, for the talent of this oriental youth, the Western media, have to recognize.

And now, this author has crossed the line and written Western fantasy again!

Moreover, it is also a Western fantasy that may even be comparable to masterpieces such as "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit"!

"I remember that the book "The Self-cultivation of Actors" was published by Hill Publishing Group, they should have a publishing plan for this "A Song of Ice and Fire"?

"Anyway, we can go and get in touch with Hill Publishing Group. ”

"I know the director of Hill Publishing Group, Arthur, who published "The Self-cultivation of Actors", I will ask him!"

"By the way, let him find the author and see if he can change the plot later! I don't want to see Ned written to death!"

......

On the Dragon Sword Forum, many of the members who have been able to stay for such a long time are also good in terms of family conditions and social status, and after talking about the publication and translation of "A Song of Ice and Fire", they are all very much looking forward to this matter.

After all, instead of waiting here for a translator who only cares about his own cool to translate every two days, it is better to let the author publish the English version directly!

New York.

Arthur, who received a message from a friend at home, about the purchase intention of some hopeful netizens for the book "A Song of Ice and Fire", also replied very enthusiastically.

As for the situation of the author of "The Self-cultivation of Actors", it is natural that Hill Publishing Group pays close attention.

This author, Lin Bao, when his new book, halfway through the first season and 200,000 words, Hill Publishing Group specially asked someone to review the content of the book, and came to the conclusion that it had great potential.

Therefore, for this "Song of Ice and Fire", Hill Group is naturally included in the books to focus on.

However, because it is in a serialized state, it does not meet the standards for publication.

So, Hill Publishing Group only kept in touch with the studio behind the author through the previous contact information.

And now, the first season of the book has been written, and the development of the whole story has caused a comprehensive response in a country like the East, let alone in the West!

This in itself is a Western story, and moreover, it is also a dragon sword type.

With The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings in front of you, no one is not interested in such a story.

After the news of the end of the first season came out, Hill First Edition Group contacted the studio behind the author as soon as possible, and then sent out an invitation to publish.

I made an appointment and went to the East to talk about copyright.

Arthur, as the general director of the publication of "The Self-cultivation of Actors", this time went to the East to negotiate with this author about the copyright of the new book, and naturally fell on him.

For the trip to the East in three days, he himself is also very much looking forward to it.

Of course, these relatively confidential business news are naturally impossible to tell the old friend who contacted him.

However, the expectations of this old friend for this book brought to him about that group of loyal fans of Dragon Sword have also strengthened his determination to get the copyright of this book this time, no matter what the price!
