It's not just about making money by releasing so many different versions in one go, it's really necessary.

First of all, the paperback edition is the cheapest, taking care of a wide range of readers, so that everyone can see the book at a relatively low price.

And the hardcover version is what those readers who are more affluent on hand are willing to spend, and the binding is more beautiful!

As for the illustrated collector's edition, it is amazing, with more than 160 beautiful pictures with the content, it is simply a magnificent historical and artistic miracle.

This makes The Da Vinci Code look more intuitive, easier to understand the meaning, and saves the effort of constantly searching for images on the Internet.

Looking at this illustrated version, you can not only enjoy the various feelings brought by the Chinese characters of the book, but also enjoy the world's famous paintings that are rarely seen, as well as those places of interest that exude a strong artistic atmosphere, and ancient and mysterious totemic codes, which can reduce obstacles.

Of course, according to Zhang Chu's idea, these pictures must be from the Louvre, the National Library of France, the Royal Observatory of Greenwich and the Archives Society of London.

As for the Chinese-English bilingual version, it is also even more necessary, and many clues in the original version of "The Da Vinci Code" have enough connections with the English alphabet.

For example, the Louvre curator Jacques-Saunier wrote in a message on the ground with an invisible pen before he died: ": Go to Yang Xuan"

For the average person, it is a very common post-script used in letters, but for the heroine Sophie Nave, it is the abbreviation of her grandfather's affectionate name for her, Princess-Sophie.

Not only that, but this is also because the curator knows that his granddaughter is a descendant of the Merovingian dynasty of France, so it is not an exaggeration to call her a princess.

There are many ways to shuffle the order of letters in The Da Vinci Code, thus hiding some real clues.

For example, the first line in Sonier's last words is the continuous Fibonacci number that has been disrupted, 13-3-2-21-1-1-8-5, which is the password to open the safe deposit box of the Bank of Zurich after being restored by Professor Yang Xuan and others.

For example, in the second line of the last words, the words translated according to the Chinese meaning are "Ah, harsh demon king", this sentence seems to find no clues at all, and the last words in the third line are also very unfriendly to Chinese readers, "Ah, lame saint".

Just looking at Chinese, it is estimated that Detective Sherlock cannot find any clues in the world, and he can't parse it out if he scratches his scalp.

This is the unique anagram game of the English alphabet!

Fortunately, the story takes place in France, according to Zhang Chu's setting, the protagonist Yang Xuan is generally French, and the main communication is English, the international lingua franca.

If you use English to describe the first two sentences, then it would be "O, draian devil!" and "Oh, me saint!"

Such obvious hints have already come out, and if you are a detective or a lover of reasoning, you can fully use your brain to recombine the letters in it at this time.

Therefore, it is not too difficult to restore these two clues to the real meaning, just to see if there is this leisure and the attention of reading!

After "Leonardo -da-Vinci" and "The Mona-Lisa" are deduced by the protagonists, the story naturally continues to move on.

And that's just the beginning, and there are plenty of similar tricks to keep the reader's eye firmly in the air!

……

"I know all of these versions, but we've never talked about the Illustrated Collector's Edition, what pictures do you want to put in them?"

Zhou Kang asked puzzled.

Zhang Chu was a little surprised, he tilted his head, "No, such a big matter has not been discussed?"

"You must have forgotten. You haven't written it yet, how do we know what pictures we want, it's a trouble!" Zhou Kang suddenly laughed, "But the editor of the publishing house must have the headache, and it has nothing to do with me." ”

More than 100 illustrations must not only be suitable for content and size, but also in the right place.

The most important thing is how to get so many pictures in a short period of time, and this is not a radish cabbage, you can take it if you want.

Fortunately, Zhang Chu and Nanhai Publishing Company are not alone, and they still have enough partners.

Random House has a good influence in the United Kingdom and the United States, and it also has cooperative relations with those libraries and art centers, so it must be much more convenient and faster for them to come out and get pictures from the British side, and maybe the price will be much cheaper.

Zhang Chu also has a cooperative publishing house in France, and both of his works have been translated and published in French.

It's good to have connections, and if you don't know the place well, it's not wrong to choose acquaintances to help!

"Later, you can help me relay this news to the South Sea Publishing Company, Random House, and St. Paul's Publishing Company, I still have classes tomorrow, so I have to go back early to rest." ”

As a boss, he has this kind of benefit, and if he doesn't want to do something, he will leave it to his subordinates, and now Zhang Chu has fully enjoyed it.

Zhou Kang was speechless for a while, and took another hot potato!

"So who will choose the images then, will the publisher or you?"

"When the time comes, I will choose, and the English version and the Chinese version and the French version or the rest of the language versions in the future must use the cover and illustrations uniformly, so that it looks more comfortable to be consistent." If they're efficient, I'll pick these pictures when I go to Europe on National Day!"

It's also good to travel for a week and spend half a day doing your own work, and Zhang Chu thinks that he can also visit those museums, observatories, archives, and so on.

Zhou Kang nodded and replied: "It's good if you're happy, pay attention to safety when traveling to Europe, don't act alone, it's too dangerous, it's better to have a companion." ”

"Hmm, try your best!" Zhang Chu now wants to just go on the road, which can save a lot of trouble.

Maybe you can even have an affair in Europe, and the girls in Northern and Western Europe look beautiful!

After the two finished the conversation, they withdrew from the company, and the staff of the technical department were doing a digital check, and they could leave after the check was completed.

Yanjing at night is a city that never sleeps, he drove his vehicle towards the community, but before he entered the gate, he was attracted by the barbecue stall on the side of the road!

After a long day's work, how can you not treat your stomach?

So he parked his car on the side of the road and sat down on the barbecue stand alone to eat, ignoring the gaze of others.
