Chapter 839: A Publishing House Comes to the Door
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is the first in the Harry Potter series. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It mainly tells the story of Harry Potter, an orphan whose parents died when he was a child, who received an invitation from Hogwarts, a school of witchcraft and wizardry, to study magic at the school, and then encountered a series of adventures.
The plot of the novel is full of ups and downs, the language is humorous, and the themes reflect reality and human nature, which is thought-provoking.
In terms of artistic technique, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is a typical work that combines the narrative characteristics of fantasy novels and fairy tales, which can be regarded as a fantasy novel with a very fantastic color, and can also be regarded as the most magical series of long-form fairy tales.
It is fantasy literature and a long fairy tale, which is one of the reasons why Li Fan chose this work.
The full text of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is more than 220,000 words.
Of course, this is the number of words translated into the Chinese version in the previous life.
The original version is in English.
Li Fan is now thinking about a problem, he must first code out the Chinese version, that is, the Chinese version of this world.
But should the original English version be coded together? That is, the blue version of this world.
With the help of the "Memory Capsule" and the "Lan Language Skill Book", it was equally easy for Li Fan to code the Lan version.
Although the major foreign publishing houses are extremely unoptimistic about Li Fan's works, this is definitely only temporary.
When Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone came out, publishers from all over the world would definitely cry and beg to come to the Three Holy Village to buy the rights.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone will be released in European countries, and even countries around the world, which is absolutely predictable.
Since this is the case, after thinking about it for a while, Li Fan decided to code out the blue version as well, anyway, it was easy to say to him.
He was mainly afraid that if there was only a Chinese version, the rest of the countries would not translate accurately enough.
After all, the Chinese language is broad and profound, cumbersome and complicated, and those who translate in other countries may not be able to fully understand it in some places.
However, with the blue version, it is different, and the rest of the countries can translate through the blue version when translating, which is not easy to make mistakes.
It's just that this is cheaper for those publishers who publish the blue version, and they don't even need the steps of translation.
Think of it as a benefit.
After making up his mind, Li Fan no longer hesitated and began to code words, first of all, it was naturally the Chinese version.
More than 220,000 words looks like a lot, but with Li Fan's current hand speed and full speed code words, it will only take ten hours.
Of course, Li Fan will not finish the code directly for more than ten hours in one go, there are still ten days in total, take it slowly, don't worry.
......
In the afternoon, a sudden news made countless fans excited.
"Surprise! The new generation of singer Lin Lei entered Li Fan's eyes and obtained the right to sing the song "Yulin Road"!"
"Do you still remember the tavern on Yulin Road? According to analysis, Li Fan has authorized the singing rights of "Yulin Road" to the new generation of singers, Lin Lei!"
"Another lucky darling is born!"
"Exclusive! Reveal the causes and consequences of Lin Lei obtaining the singing rights of "Yulin Road". ”
"Li Fan's singing rights to "Yulin Road" have been authorized to Lin Lei, and he really has no plans to release a single. ”
“......”
The news about the song "Yulin Road" and singer Lin Lei quickly became the main theme of the news in the entertainment industry.
There is a lot of buzz on the Internet.
"Wha! But who is Lin Lei? However, it doesn't matter, the person Mr. Li Fan fancies, it is definitely not bad. ”
"Lin Lei, I know that the sixth-tier star, I didn't expect to be favored by Mr. Li Fan, and now it is developed. ”
"I can finally hear the full version, cool!"
"Do you think this Lin Lei will follow Mr. Li Fan's example and go to the Yulin Road to sing this song? I think it might be very interesting. ”
"Alas, Mr. Li Fan really doesn't plan to sing by himself, judging from that video, I think Mr. Li Fan's singing skills are good, and he can release his own singles. ”
"Maybe Mr. Li Fan doesn't like it, I just hope that Lin Lei can sing well and not disappoint. ”
“......”
As a newcomer singer who has just debuted, many people don't know Lin Lei, and the media calls him a "new generation singer", which is obviously an exaggeration.
However, this time, the blessing of dragging Li Fan and the song "Yulin Road" can be regarded as the first time to become the focus of the entertainment industry.
This made Lin Lei and Zhao Sheng, as well as the entertainment company they signed in, excited, and secretly frightened.
Now that they haven't released a single or performed a song, just some news on the Internet has made Lin Lei the focus of news, and Li Fan's influence in the music industry is definitely greater than they imagined.
Thinking about this, they became more and more excited.
And the five singers who competed with Lin Lei couldn't help but feel more lost and regretful after seeing the relevant news.
What a great opportunity? I just didn't seize it!
......
Sansheng Village.
After Li Fan continued to code words for a while in the afternoon, the total number of words had been coded by more than 50,000 words, pondering that it was almost the same today, and he would continue tomorrow.
At this time, Li Ru's voice came from downstairs, saying that someone was looking for him.
"Who?" Li Fan muttered, got up and walked out of the study, and went to the balcony to see that it was Ye Honghui from Chongwen Publishing House.
Chongwen Publishing House is the same publishing house that cooperated with Li Fan on the publication of the physical book of "Three Character Classic" last time.
Today, Ye Honghui came to him, and his purpose is self-evident.
Li Fan smiled and said to Li Ru: "Xiaoru, pour a cup of tea for Mr. Ye, and I will come down immediately." ”
"Hey!" Li Ru agreed, beckoned Ye Honghui to sit down on the rattan chair in the courtyard, and went into the house to pour tea.
Ye Honghui thanked him politely a few times, although the other party was a little girl, he didn't dare to hold it up.
When Li Fan went downstairs, Li Ru had already poured two cups of tea, and when he saw Li Fan coming down, he said goodbye and left.
Li Fan sat down on another rattan chair and asked with a smile, "Mr. Ye came this time, but he came for my entry?"
Ye Honghui laughed and said: "I knew that Mr. Li would be able to guess it at a moment's notice, but I just hope that Ye is not late." ”
Li Fan said: "Now everyone is not optimistic about my entries, and many publishing houses are reluctant to publish them, for fear of losing all their money. Isn't Mr. Ye afraid?"
Ye Honghui said with a straight face: "Ye has naturally heard about these, and Ye also knows that Qiuyu Publishing House has looked for Mr. Li Fan, but you have not talked about it." To be honest, Ye is not sure about the market for Mr. Li's entries. However, Ye is willing to believe Mr. Li Fan. ”
"Oh?" Li Fan smiled, looked at Ye Honghui, and said, "Since Mr. Ye knows that Qiuyu Publishing House has looked for me, then does Mr. Ye know, why didn't we talk about it?"
Ye Honghui nodded and said: "This is no secret in our publishing industry, it is the 8 percentage point share proposed by Mr. Li Fan, which is unacceptable to Qiuyu Publishing House." ”
Li Fan nodded, he was not surprised that the major publishing houses could know this, it must have been Qiuyu Publishing House, intentionally or unintentionally leaked out.
The purpose may be to scare away other publishers so that no publisher comes to them.
But it was clear that they had made a mistake.
After thinking about it, Li Fan said: "Since Mr. Ye knows, then I am also under this condition now, I don't know what Mr. Ye thinks?"
Ye Honghui smiled: "If Mr. Li is willing, then we will make a deal." ”
Li Fan also smiled and said: "Mr. Ye is really a cheerful person, then Li will no longer be hypocritical and make a deal!"
Ye Honghui was overjoyed, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He was really afraid that he would be late, or that Li Fan would have other ideas.
Although the 8 percentage point share does discourage many publishing houses, there are also many publishing houses that have shown strong interest.
What about the 8 percent share? Just by virtue of the name "Li Fan," it is worth it.
Yes, Ye Honghui was a little worried on the way here.
Now, I can finally relax.
