Chapter 610: The Battle of Robbery
Netizens were a little frightened by the pie thrown by Zhang Chu, a book has tossed so many tricks, what is the content!
Instead of crying miserably over there, it was better to guess the plot of the new book, so they gathered together to discuss.
"Since it's the Da Vinci code, shouldn't the illustrated version show all of Da Vinci's paintings?"
"Such an undisciplined thing must be true!"
"I'm not happy that I didn't grab the rabbit collector's edition, and I don't know if the illustrated version of "The Da Vinci Code" is also limited. If it's limited, Nanhai Publishing House, you wait, I'm going to kill you!"
"Alas, compared to other authors who have taken a year or two to write a book, Zhang Chu is already very fast, but I still can't help it. In the days when I didn't have a book to read, I was just a salted fish. ”
"It's not just that I'm waiting for the flowers to be thankful, but I'm waiting for my ex-girlfriend's children to go to kindergarten soon, and Zhang Chu hasn't gotten out of "The Da Vinci Code" yet. ”
"When you don't know the title of the book, you want to know the title, and when you know the title, you want to know the content, this is really a good wine!"
"Please don't hang around Zhang Chu recently, and rest assured that you will take a vacation after writing a book. ”
"Just ask if you can send a book on National Day!"
Zhang Chu swiped Weibo comments while eating skewers, and after seeing the message just now, he typed on his mobile phone with one hand and said: "Can't ^__^"
According to the current plan, it will only be able to finish writing on the National Day, and if it is published, it will definitely have to wait.
Maybe it will take a long time for the General Administration of Press and Publication to review the book number, let alone the production, printing, publicity and distribution of goods, and no one can say exactly when it will be sold!
Most books are announced for sale after the ISBN has been approved, at which point it only needs to be handed over to the printer.
His reply instantly put the comment on the rocket, and fans replied in the comments of the comment, urging him to hurry home and code words!
"Don't think that you can delay the manuscript by selling a cute, hurry up and write..."
"If you can't, you can't, what kind of expression do you send, I really think I'm a cute and invincible baby!"
"Why don't I think this one looks so tsundere?"
"Go to the codeword, I'll only say it once!"
"If I were Zhang Chu and so many people urged me to change, I would be able to write 50,000 or 100,000 words a day!"
"I have time to read Weibo, but I don't have time to write new books. Anyway, I have to send out the new book this year, or I'll have to climb the wall to the rest of the authors. ”
After Zhang Chu checked out, he drove the car back to the community, it was only half past nine at this time, and it was not too early or too late to calculate the time, he simply crackled and began to type on the keyboard!
Today, being urged by so many readers, he felt that his whole person was like being beaten with chicken blood, and his hand speed increased rapidly as if he was open.
In an hour, he actually wrote almost 5,000 words, which is completely super level play!
……
Just when Zhang Chu was busy coding words, Zhang Chu's agent Zhou Kang was not idle, and he was also busy.
In the small study, Zhou Kang sat in front of the computer and thought about how to complete his task.
Zhang Chu tossed out another moth today, and made some kind of illustration collector's edition, and said that there may be more than 100 pictures in it, which is by no means a small number!
Ten o'clock in the evening of Yenching time happens to be half past two in the afternoon on the British side, eight time zones apart, while the American side is in the morning.
Because of the long-term business ties with China, Blair, the person in charge of Random House, also uses WeChat, which will definitely be more convenient.
Gu Xinxue, who had already been lying down to rest, also strongly requested to participate in the talks at Zhou Kang's request, because the publication of "The Da Vinci Code" was a matter that the three publishing companies should negotiate, and Zhou Kang, as Zhang Chu's agent, was just playing a role as a contact!
Not being able to communicate in English has always been a pain for Zhou Kang, and although he has put a lot of effort into studying, he has only mastered a little bit of commonly used things.
At this time, he wrote in Chinese in the WeChat group: "Today I specially gathered everyone for Zhang Chu's new book "The Da Vinci Code", and he put forward an idea to launch an illustrated collector's edition, and these pictures need to be obtained from museums, archives, observatories and photographers in Britain and France. If he moves faster, he can personally select these pictures on the European side during the National Day!"
After saying such a big paragraph, Zhou Kang translated it into English and sent it again through Google Translate, and @ the three publisher representatives.
Gu Xinxue's eyes lit up after seeing that time, but just when he wanted to book Zhang Chu's time in advance, he saw Zhou Kangfa's English.
"Brother Zhou, quickly withdraw your English!"
Zhou Kang was puzzled and asked, "Why did you withdraw? Is there something wrong?"
Gu Xinxue hurriedly chatted privately with Zhou Kang and explained: "Zhang Chu is sure that he is going to Europe during the National Day? Is he going to participate in the book fair or traveling by himself? If he goes to the book fair as a Chinese delegation, then he can help our publishing house stand on the platform, don't let the other two foreigners see it, and quickly withdraw the English." ”
It's a pity that this was said too late, because Blair was already there".
If it weren't for Gu Xinxue's reminder, Zhou Kang would have completely forgotten about the October Book Fair!
Every year on the first Wednesday of October, publishing companies from all over the world gather in Frankfurt, Germany, and any publishing house can exhibit any book, no restrictions!
This is the world's largest and most important book trade center, a grand event of the world's book industry, known as the world's cultural vane, and known as the Olympics of the book industry!
Every year, more than 75% of the world's total copyright transactions are made at the Frankfurt Book Fair, which is a staggering figure!
The copyright directors of publishing institutions will go to negotiate and buy the copyrights of foreign editions or translations, and on the other hand, a large number of literary agents will look for overseas publishing companies.
Since China was the guest of honour in 2009, every year the Book Fair has brought together a large number of writers to Frankfurt!
But Zhou Kang wondered, Zhang Chu's overseas sales performance is definitely top-notch, even if only two works have been translated into English, but these two works have appeared on the New York Times bestseller list and the British book sales list, and have been made into film and television works, and their influence is extraordinary.
Under such circumstances, it is absolutely strange that there is no name of Zhang Chu in the delegation of more than 100 Chinese writers, and he has not even been invited!
I didn't have time to think about it, at this time, the three publishers in the WeChat group were arguing with English, and Zhou Kang, an illiterate person in the new era, couldn't understand it at all, so he could only translate it one by one.
But the pace is so slow that I can't keep up with the pace at all!
