Zhang Chu was dragged out of the room by his mother, and then the family replayed the news just now to him.

"It's probably just a casual quote from them, maybe it's a blank check. ”

Zhang Bowen hated iron and said with hatred: "How can this kind of thing be said casually, you hurry up and let the people of the brokerage company strike while the iron is hot to implement this identity, so as not to forget the long dreams of the night!"

Mrs. Lin sat on the sofa at this time, and also advised: "I don't know much about this, but Britain is so powerful, it must be a good thing to let you be the ambassador of this matter." ”

"Now that the brokerage company is basically on holiday, not to mention that they have nothing to do with the British official, it seems a bit embarrassing to take the initiative to find the past. ”

"It's not for you to contact yourself, but for others to contact, isn't this the role of the brokerage company? You are not short of money now, what you lack is fame and status!" Chu Lan said hatefully, this is probably a good errand that other writers can't find with lanterns.

Fortunately, at this time, Zhou Kang's phone rescued Zhang Chu from the ocean of the people's war in time, Zhang Chu shook his mobile phone and said: "I'll answer this call first, maybe he is here to talk about this matter." ”

"Go ahead, it's important to get down to business. ”

After Zhang Chu got the permission, he walked towards his room, and Zhou Kang's voice crackled: "Have you seen the news? ”

"Of course I saw it, my dad and they were all stunned, okay!"

Zhou Kang, who was far away in Yanjing, also laughed and explained: "It's normal, we didn't think of operating in this direction in the first place, and now it seems like a waste of huge resources." I just spoke on the phone with the people at Random House's UK headquarters, and they said they would help with the title. ”

After all, Random House is the largest book publisher in the United Kingdom and even in the world, and it has a clear grasp of the curves and curves, which is much more reliable than Menglong Culture.

At least Zhou Kang and their reactions were timely, knowing that the whip was beyond their reach, so they went to seek help from others.

"It would be nice if the BBC could help, and maybe even help you run the title of a Sino-British cultural exchange ambassador directly. ”

Zhang Chu didn't think too much about it, he replied: "You can't count on others for everything, it's better to count on yourself." Menglong Culture still has to learn it, otherwise what will happen in the future. ”

Many powerful brokerage companies don't have to wait for the opportunity to come to their door, and they can operate these things out of thin air.

Zhou Kang also knew that although his company's development was fast, it seemed to be getting farther and farther away from Zhang Chu, who knew that there would be such great progress after signing his old classmate's son.

"Alas, the main thing now is that the time is not very good, and it will be the Spring Festival in two or three days, and it is impossible for employees to work overtime during the Spring Festival. I'll have to contact the UK side more on my own, and I'll let you know if there's any latest news when the time comes. ”

Zhou Kang didn't want to be left behind by Zhang Chu, even if he was tired during the Spring Festival, it was worth it.

The Spring Festival is the most important festival of the year for Chinese, and Zhang Chu doesn't want those staff to have a home and can't go back, who makes the time so unlucky?

He thought for a moment and said, "If you work from home, can you guarantee efficiency? It's just a title that doesn't really have much power, and it shouldn't take much effort." ”

"I can't say for sure, not to mention that we have a language barrier to communicate with the British, so we can only try to do it, and we don't know what the result will be. ”

"If you can get it, you can get it, even if you can't get it, I guess few people can remember this thing. If nothing happens, I'll hang up. ”

Zhou Kang hurriedly stopped: "Finally, you go and take a look at the book sales list just announced, I sent it to your mailbox, there are a lot of things, there will be surprises!"

Deliberately selling off, Zhang Chu shook his head, he knew that this book sales list was estimated to rank very well, otherwise it would not be a surprise.

With this mentality, he opened his email and found an email from Zhou Kang, which contained one data screenshot after another!

Zhang Chu said to himself: "I thought it was the sales ranking in the mainland, but it turned out to be from so many countries." ”

The media in mainland China is staring at the rankings every day, but there is not enough attention from overseas regions, after all, except for Zhang Chu, there are few other Chinese writers who can send their works to the sales list.

Even Zhang Chu himself only published "Detective Sherlock" and "Life of Pi"!

It's not wrong to say it's a surprise, Zhang Chu has always felt that his two books are only selling well in the UK, but from the statistics this time, it seems that they are really a big hit in the global sense!

"Sherlock" topped the bestseller lists in the UK, Australia, and the Netherlands, and was in the top 10 in more than a dozen other countries!

This level of sales can be said to be unprecedented, you must know that the "Sherlock" TV series has only aired the first episode, if this season is broadcast, I am afraid that the sales will be even more terrifying.

At the same time, although the BBC is licensing TV stations in these countries and regions to broadcast it, it is estimated that the contract has not yet been negotiated, and it is not a real introduction of TV dramas.

Sherlock's global bestseller has just begun, and the response in the United States, the largest book sales market, has not yet met expectations, but Random House has booked it a place on the New York Times bestseller list!

A week on, the English version of Sherlock has sold more than 800,000 physical copies and 600,000 e-books worldwide.

Not only is the English version of the book outstanding, but the French version is also in the top 10 sales lists in France, Canada, and the French-speaking part of Belgium.

Under this influence, the sales of "Life of Pi" have also improved a lot, at least in the United Kingdom, the cumulative sales have reached 250,000 copies, and the United States is more popular.

People believe that there is a God, and the story of a man and a tiger drifting on the sea touched these foreigners very much!

This was originally written by an Indian-Canadian who sold millions of copies on the planet and was adapted into a Hollywood movie.

Before, it just lacked a chance to soar, and now this opportunity is in front of it!

The strong ratings and increasing influence of "Sherlock" have made a small part of the attention of the European and American film and television circles focus on Zhang Chu, the author and screenwriter, and only "Youth Pi" has an English version of so many of his works, which is very logical.
