Chapter 689: Rejuvenation

"Is there a mistake in translating the title of this song?"

Zhou Kang asked cautiously, as an English scumbag, he didn't understand the meaning of the song when Zhang Chu gave him the song before.

Coupled with the fact that he was confident enough in Zhang Chu's English ability, he never questioned the name at all.

Zhang Chu is not the only one in the world who can understand English, and netizens questioned it at this time.

Faced with this question, Zhang Chu yawned and said: "Actually, that statement is not wrong, purely grammatically speaking, it is translated into wood, but after being translated into a forest, the whole artistic conception is much higher!"

Zhou Kang patted his head and said helplessly: "You are playing with fire, young man." Now on various domestic music charts, the old song of the Beatles is soaring, but the translation name you see is wrong. ”

"It's not that serious, it doesn't matter what the name of the song is, what matters is the content. You may not be able to see the content of the new book yet, but when you do, you will think that it is a very apt name!"

Zhang Chu also knew that this was indeed an unavoidable thing, and even if he didn't reveal the English translation, readers would definitely find out about it at that time.

Rather than being exposed at that time to affect word of mouth, it is better to put it out now, just enough to lower expectations.

Now the publishing house, readers and many netizens have given him a myth, and there is more and more of an illusion that he wants to live every day, which is not right for a literary and artistic love book at all!

People lowered their expectations first, and then waited for the release to find out that the quality was good, and the feeling of exceeding expectations was greatly improved.

Zhou Kang stretched out his hands and said, "How many words are you going to write in this book?

"No, no, it's just a single book, at best more than 200,000 words, just like an ordinary book. ”

"Since it's love, I think its film and television copyright will definitely become a sweet spot, and the favorite of film and television companies is modern love stories. ”

Zhou Kang has begun to look forward to it slightly, and the market needs excellent stories to adapt.

The market for modern romantic TV series or movies is very broad and close to everyone's life, and the previous "Predecessor Three" directly earned a lot of tears and box office, which is more profitable than most box office blockbusters!

Similarly, such film and television works require very little investment, typical of small cost and high income.

Zhang Chu showed a weird smile, "This is probably not very suitable for filming and becoming a film and television work, you will know when the time comes." ”

"If you say a thousand things or ten thousand, you still have to read your new book, and say that everything else is wild. ”

Good books may be buried temporarily, but they will never be immersed in the sea of books forever, especially for authors with high attention like Zhang Chu!

……

Daniel is an ordinary American college student, his life is not as easy as people think, in order to get into Brown University really wasted a lot of energy, and he still did not relax after arriving at college.

It's the most competitive school in the country, with a very small number of students, and as a religious studies major, he felt the impact of The Da Vinci Code.

My family, friends, and classmates are talking about this, the professor in the classroom is analyzing the impact of this book, and my group assignment is also a related presenting with my classmates!

Originally, Daniel still enjoyed the pleasure of reading, but when reading was linked to homework, he began to vaguely reject "The Da Vinci Code".

No matter how well it is written, it still has to rack your brains for idea analysis.

Also for this reason, Daniel remembered the name Zhang Chu, instead of calling it Cheng Chu - Zhang according to European and American customs.

Daniel follows a lot of news outlets on Twitter, and he also downloads Google News to keep him connected to the world.

When he woke up from the hangover headache, his throat and eyes were especially painful, and he went straight to the kitchen to get a glass of cold water and drank it before returning to the bed and pouring it down.

I'm already awake, but I can't think about it, and I'm not even in the mood to take a shower!

Daniel picked up his phone, he first looked at the small video of the nightclub posted by himself and others on Instagram last night, and then noticed the message on Twitter.

[Zhang Chu's new book is inspired by the Beatles' "Norwegian Wood"!]

Daniel's simple title surprised him slightly, the Beatles were indeed very influential in the United States, and his parents' and even grandparents' generation especially liked the Beatles.

It's just that Daniel, as a mulatto, prefers rap music, such as the now popular Drake (Drake), Malone, Lear Wayne, etc., of course, the songs of various DJs are also indispensable, as for the earlier Eminem, it seems that his influence in the younger generation is limited.

Daniel was curious that a Chinese writer had actually taken inspiration from a song by a legendary British band, as if he had never heard it before!

With curiosity, Daniel opened the spotify app, then searched for the Beatles song and clicked to listen.

Spotify is a genuine streaming music platform, almost all singers' music can be listened to here, and even if you don't spend money, you can enjoy the genuine treatment, so there are a lot of fans.

Some hits can even reach more than a billion playbacks, which shows how many users there are!

At this time, "Norwegian Wood" only had a few million views on Spotify, which was not easy for an old song from the 70s.

A lot of songs from the 2000s had just that level of hits.

The soothing rhythm and British-accented vocals left Daniel a little confused, which was very different from the type of music he usually liked!

"It's okay, the story in there is interesting. Daniel pursed his lips, but then couldn't help but hum along.

The song is only two minutes long, so the loop is quite fast, and the lyrics are not too difficult, so he learned it quickly!

Thanks to the title of Zhang Chu's new book and global media coverage, the Beatles' "Norwegian Wood" quickly spread from die-hard fans to a large number of Internet users.

The number of free streaming media is increasing, and in Apple's iTunes genuine song download, this song that is forty or fifty years old is full of vitality, surpassing the new songs of many popular singers, and appearing in the top 100 download charts in different countries!

Especially in the United Kingdom, the Beatles were originally the pride of Britain, and Zhang Chu's influence in the United Kingdom is also increasing day by day, and the combination of the number of plays and downloads of the song "Norwegian Wood" is even expected to make it appear on the British singles chart again after many years!
