"Oh my God, it's just English and French!"

"It's awesome. It's only been a few days, and I've sold the English copyright!"

"My mother asked me why I was kneeling to brush Weibo, the legendary Random House, so I don't have to worry about sales. ”

"Finally, there is an English version of Shenxia, and I don't have to worry about being pestered by my British classmates to translate that story, God knows how I translated the story!"

"It feels like "Life of Pi" has only been out for a long time, and it is actually about to come out in English, who translated it!"

"This year's most awesome and hottest writer should be Zhang Chu. ”

"Why is "Youth Pi" signed for English publishing, but there is not the slightest news about Chinese publishing!"

Netizens almost put their knees up, this Zhang Chu really couldn't stop at all, and quietly signed these two copyright agreements, English and French are the most spoken languages in the world.

How many great writers have worked hard for decades to sell the copyright, but this product seems to be extraordinarily easy.

"Did you find that these two books are dominated by foreigners. No wonder Zhang Chu has to write under pressure, his feelings are directly aimed at overseas markets!"

"I'll it, you really didn't find out if you didn't say it. ”

"It doesn't matter if it's a black cat or a white cat, it's a good cat if it catches mice. It doesn't matter who the protagonist is, as long as he looks good, please don't stir up trouble!"

"This guy is so shrewd, everything made sense before. ”

"Business acumen, congratulations to Zhang Chu. ”

"While other people's freshmen were already quasi-global writers, my freshman year was spent sleeping and playing games. ”

Probably the thinking that the winner is king, those netizens who once criticized Zhang Chu seemed to have forgotten what happened not long ago, and turned their heads and praised it.

Successful people do everything right, if Zhang Chu knew that public opinion was biased in his favor so quickly, he wouldn't have to spend time on what emojis or patriotic poems to write to Mingzhi.

It's better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, how could Nanhai Publishing Company miss such a good publicity opportunity, after all, they are the ones who really got the publishing rights of "Life of Pi" in the first place.

It's just that it wasn't announced after the award, and I plan to wait for the time to go public before it goes public, who knows that it will be preempted by Random House now!

So they also quickly announced the news on the official website and Weibo official account: "Congratulations to "Youth Pi" for successfully going abroad, and the Chinese Simplified Chinese version will be revised, designed, printed and published in the near future, please rest assured!"

Netizens just crawled out of the news over there, and then turned their heads and ran to leave a message under the news here, they didn't read it, and the people who read the comments were a little tired.

The point is, that's not all!

Not to be outdone, Xincang, a Gulf publishing agency, generously admitted that he had obtained the copyright of Zhang Chu's works and would pay a high amount of prepaid remuneration.

"Blessed are the readers of the bay, our company has successfully obtained the traditional publishing qualification of Zhang Chu's four works, "Sherlock", "Psychological Crime", "Journey to the West Diary", and "Life of Pi", and all of them will be listed in the near future!"

The shocking news is wave after wave, and there is no tendency to stop at all.

It turns out that the English version and the French version are just appetizers, and there are various desserts to keep up, which is directly a news bombardment!

The editors of the news were on the verge of being made to tears.

Your sister, can't you send it together?

Why split development statements!

Issuing a statement, I have to send a news out on my side, which is completely the rhythm of swiping the screen.

Not only on Weibo, but also on the homepage of various portals and the push of headlines, they directly synthesized these different statements and posted another news.

This is the rhythm that is going to torture the editor to death!

If it's just these news, it won't prove Zhang Chu's popularity at all, and several hot topics on Weibo take turns.

……

For people in the industry, envy, jealousy and hatred are no longer enough to describe their inner feelings!

Even the best-selling authors who can sell millions of copies in the mainland book market were also surprised by the news.

In these years, if they want to publish it easily, most of their books will be sold in traditional Chinese, and even better in Korean or Thai.

As a result, Zhang Chu's goods were good, and he threw out all kinds of bombs as soon as he came up, directly attacking Random House, the largest publisher in the English publishing industry, not one book, but two books!

The influence of English works is much greater than that of Korean, Thai, and Japanese, not to mention the French language as a supplement.

When I think of BBC TV a month or two ago, the gods were shot in the knee.

"Have you read the news? There is news on the Internet that the French media interviewed the publishing house, and they paid 1.5 million euros in advance!"

The best-selling author who has sold more than 10 million copies in his career dropped a bomb in the group, making the otherwise peaceful QQ group lively.

"Isn't it? Zhang Chu's two books are so valuable?"

"Foreign publishers are generous!"

"Faint, what about Random House?"

"I'm reminded of my poor $100,000 advance payment, it's too big a difference......"

"I feel sorry for you for a second. ”

"Don't cry, after all, you still have $100,000, and I don't have a penny !!"

"Who knows what the royalties will be on the Random House side? ”

"It's a British drama and an overseas publication, this kid is so powerful, whoever knows him, pull him into the group to talk. ”

"I'm hesitating to change my agency, Menglong doesn't know what's going on, if you can push Zhang Chu out, it should be no problem to push me. ”

However, the facts are estimated to disappoint this great god, Zhang Chu's channels are completely found by himself, and Menglong culture belongs to the kind of pie in the sky!

1.5 million euros into RMB is actually almost 11 million, which is not too much for them, but the meaning is completely different!

The gods who can sell millions of copies in a book envy the importance and trust, and it is difficult for their works to go abroad, even if they go abroad

This is an advance payment, which proves that Hachette Publishing Company is optimistic about Zhang Chu's works, and the publisher will not do a loss-making business, they are willing to pay 1.5 million euros, and they must believe that Shenxia and Youth Pi can double their earnings!

The overseas media is not much easier than the Chinese media, and they are also curious about who Zhang Chu is, and he has tossed so many things.

And those publishers also know that everything cannot be kept secret, and there must be exposure.

So the New York Times interviewed the staff of Random House's U.S. headquarters, and half-concealed and semi-openly revealed Zhang Chu's royalty rate and prepaid remuneration!

"Sherlock" was translated by the author Zhang Chu himself, with a 9% progressive royalty for the first printing of 500,000 copies, and a 15% royalty rate when the global sales reached 2 million copies, and the two works totaled more than $2 million in advance remuneration.

Although this figure is far from the $50 million upfront fee for other writers, it is enough to surprise netizens around the world!

A rising star of writers is on the rise!
