Chapter 626: Gold Rush

"If Zhang Chu had posted a few of these films a year, I think I would have lived ten years less. ”

It's already past three o'clock in the morning, but he still has to drink strong tea to look for errors and loopholes in The Da Vinci Code.

This work with a wide range of knowledge really caused huge trouble for the editors, because they couldn't understand whether what Zhang Chu said in it was correct or made it up by themselves!

Another retorted: "Writing a book like this is equivalent to using all the experience and knowledge accumulated over many years." It's good to be able to write one in a few years, and I'm afraid I don't think too much about a few a year. ”

"Others happily go to Europe to travel at public expense, but we have to stay in the company and work overtime on the National Day, I really want to pick a son and quit!"

As far as the review editors are concerned, they will seek help from experts if they encounter something too specialized, but Nanhai Publishing Company has never produced such a theme of symbolic codes, European art history, and religious history before, let alone have a reserve of experts who are good at this area.

"Zhang Chu, this kid has a library in his head, I haven't heard of these symbols of the Egyptian goddess in charge of reproduction. As for Li's claim that the Xunshan Monastery still has Christianity, I decided not to verify it, as long as there are no typos or wrong thoughts in it!"

The editors can be described as exhausted, they have given up struggling and just want to be a salted fish.

This time, the five editors in the review room worked overtime together, and at least everyone could chat after reading the book, which was much more comfortable than being alone.

The mood of complaining is contagious, "I also gave up looking for loopholes in knowledge, and I don't think there is anything to modify in the plot." As for the ideological form, there is nothing to say, except that the protagonist is Chinese, and the whole book is running around in France and England, and there is no reactionary thought. ”

When I thought about it, I suddenly felt that the workload had been greatly reduced, and everyone worked hard to finish this book quickly. An extra day of work on National Day is enough, and if you add two extra days, it will not only waste time, but also cause sudden death. ”

In fact, they can be regarded as a bitter pleasure, and overtime must be hated by every employee.

Getting The Da Vinci Code in for typesetting and printing as soon as possible would be helpful to the whole company.

At this time, the large army of Nanhai Publishing Company is gathering towards the airport, and they will drag the big boxes to Dubai for a transfer first, and then fly to Frankfurt to prepare for the book fair!

"The Da Vinci Code" is the signature of Nanhai Publishing Company this time, and after having this signboard, you can put out the works of the rest of the writers to see if you can sell them with Zhang Chu's east wind.

This is the envy of the entire Chinese delegation, and Zhang Chu's overseas publications can be found in Chinese here at Nanhai Publishing Company.

Such a good movable type signboard does not need to be used in vain, maybe the largest enterprise to achieve overseas copyright transactions this year will be Nanhai!

……

The airport before dawn was quiet, there was no crowd during the day, and it was inexplicably a little fresh.

Crews on the tarmac are loading cargo into the plane, and there are queues at the gates.

Gu Xinxue yawned, in order to rush to the airport in advance, he got up at three o'clock in the morning and rushed to the airport, at this time, his colleagues were all the same, one by one listless.

"Old Gu, can I ask you for something?" Shi Zhiguo, a colleague with a shaved head, leaned over to Gu Xinxue and whispered.

"You say it first, and I'll help if I can do it. ”

Shi Zhiguo opened his mouth and said: "During the book fair, can you help introduce foreign publishing houses? I have a book here that I think is quite good, and it should be quite suitable for the taste of foreign readers." Isn't there that prism door lately? Just right for this hot spot. ”

Gu Xinxue breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this was still a trivial matter, so he agreed: "No problem, I'll talk to the editor of Random House when the time comes, but I don't know if I can achieve it." By the way, what's that name?"

"It's called "Decryption", and it mainly tells the story of a mathematical genius who cracks the super code, and he is enriching the special work of cracking the code, so this type of story should still be quite attractive. ”

Regardless of the content, this mysterious work is very distinctive from the beginning, and unlike the rest of the works, it would be a good thing if it could go out smoothly.

Now Gu Xinxue has also become a celebrity in the publishing circle because of Zhang Chu's relationship, not only his colleagues are asking him for help, but the group of contracted writers under him also hope to be recommended, not to mention the rest of the people who are trying to pull the relationship!

The impact of 100 million is too huge, and people who don't know each other want to pan for gold overseas, which is just like the gold rush in the western United States.

It is estimated that the vast majority of those who hit their heads and broke their blood flow.

Not only are writers jealous of this large income, but also publishing companies, literary agents, and editors are also very envious.

How many books do you have to sell to make 100 million yuan? Now you just need to take out the English copyright.

Many people feel that their works will not be much worse than Zhang Chu, and since readers in the United Kingdom and the United States like Zhang Chu's works, there is no reason not to like them.

With such a sense of confidence, this time there are many more people from the publishing industry who go to the Frankfurt Book Fair than last year!

But Gu Xinxue saw it very clearly, even if Zhang Chu already had a lot of fame abroad, those publishers didn't accept all the books.

For example, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", "Sou Shen Ji" and "The Legend of Wukong" are selling very well in China and are also popular on the Internet, but Random House has never mentioned that it wants to buy the English publishing rights of these three works.

Because this type of work has a strong Chinese flavor, first of all, translation is a big problem, and secondly, readers do not accept it, and there are many cases of unadaptability!

Even Zhang Chu couldn't translate all the books into English and sell them, Gu Xinxue really didn't like those hot-headed people.

If foreign publishers were really so easy to fool, they would not wait for Zhang Chu to reluctantly open the situation.

Of course, he won't open his mouth to persuade him.

Some things must be made for others to see the reality of the situation before they suddenly wake up, if he opens his mouth rashly, others will think that Gu Xinxue is worried that Zhang Chu's status is threatened!

This kind of person is everywhere, substituting his own thinking on others, thinking that everyone is as careful as himself.
