The English version of "Norwegian Wood" has always existed in the plans of Hallym Culture Media Co., Ltd.

Now that the number of readers overseas has surpassed that of China, it is impossible for such a large book market to be wasted like that, and new books must be released from time to time to maintain popularity.

He's like a singer who hasn't been popular for a long time, and he has to release new songs or albums from time to time to maintain his place in the hearts of fans, and only after he becomes a legend like Madonna, MJ, or The Beatles can slowly relax.

Zhang Chu quietly typed and replied: "I will start translating after New Year's Day, but the sales of this book on your side are not expected to be too good, so the expectations should be lowered." ”

Vaccinations should be given in advance so that you will not be disappointed.

"Norwegian Wood" will certainly be far inferior to "The Da Vinci Code" in terms of sales, almost on par with "Life of Pi", but it may be much more than in terms of word of mouth, especially on the critics' side.

"Then I'm looking forward to the arrival of the New Year, will you surprise me then?" Blair said jokingly, he didn't know where Zhang Chu heard it.

Fortunately, there are headphones, otherwise the rest of the students would have to misunderstand whether Zhang Chu found a foreign boyfriend, which sounds gay and gay.

At this time, the teacher stepped down from the podium and took the initiative to ask the students if they had any questions.

Zhang Chu quickly took off the headphones, and then pretended to be a good student.

"Did you have any questions during the revision process?"

"Not yet. ”

"Oh, that's proof you're not learning enough. After learning the depths, there are problems everywhere!"

After the teacher left this sentence, he turned to look at the rest of the students, leaving the aggrieved Zhang Chu secretly depressed.

At this time, Anmi was very enthusiastic to leave the teacher by his side, which made Zhang Chu, who wanted to desert and play with his mobile phone, have to continue to disguise.

However, this disguise is to directly hear the bell after class, and when Zhang Chu replied to WeChat, Blair had no response, and he was probably asleep.

He got up from his seat, walked out of the classroom and went to the toilet outside the hallway to solve his physiological problems, ready to go to the bookstore after another class.

Before he could get back to the classroom, he saw an acquaintance in the hallway!

Zhou Kang was holding his coat in his hand at this time, his hair was still steaming slightly, and he beckoned to Zhang Chu.

"Uncle Zhou, why are you here?"

"I just went to the memorial lecture hall to negotiate the matter, and tomorrow's trial meeting will be arranged over there. It's just that after four o'clock in the afternoon is the rehearsal time for the Philharmonic Orchestra, so we can use it until half past three at most. ”

Zhang Chu really didn't expect the efficiency to be so fast, so Zhou Kang went directly to the school to solve the matter.

This was quite unexpected.

"It's impossible to read a book in a few hours. Didn't we just ask them to sign a non-disclosure agreement, so let's look at some of it here?"

Zhou Kang nodded, he heard the class bell ringing and said quickly: "I will be in your school all day today, if you want to find me, go to the Hanlinxuan bookstore." ”

"Go ahead and get busy, and we'll talk at noon later. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Chu hurriedly walked into the classroom, anyway, there were people from several companies to help keep an eye on him, and he was still more relieved.

……

When the bell rings, it means that all the classes of the first semester of the sophomore year are over at this time.

From next Monday, the whole school will officially enter the final exams, and students in some majors will be able to go home even before New Year's Day.

Like Zhang Chu, the examination subjects of their Chinese department are not too many, and they can also be completed on January 7, after all, this year's Spring Festival came early.

"Time flies too fast, I feel like I'm still a rookie in my freshman year, but I'm halfway through my sophomore year!"

Anmi was a little sad, but immediately became excited, "It's finally going to be winter vacation, and this winter vacation will go to France with my parents and them, and then bring a copy of "The Da Vinci Code" as a road map. ”

"There must be a lot of people during the winter vacation, maybe all you see at the Louvre at that time are Chinese!" Yang Ling quipped, "If you say that you are Zhang Chu's friend, see if they will believe it." ”

Zhang Chu on the side said: "Anmi, remember to take a few shocking pictures when you go, and it is best to be all tourists with that book." I accidentally slid my hand to help you like and make you an internet celebrity. ”

"You mean posing?"

"No, it's a snap!"

An Mi shrugged his shoulders and said with some uncertainty: "Wouldn't it be embarrassing if no one read the Da Vinci code at all?"

"No, the Louvre informed us a few days ago that they have opened a special tour of the Da Vinci code, and tourists can choose to find a guide or follow the signs. ”

The words are amazing!

Zhang Chu quietly dropped such a bomb, which was not reported much in the news.

Sun Ruiqi was so surprised that she almost fell to the ground with a water glass, it was the famous Louvre!

If it is an ordinary travel company to open a Da Vinci code tourist route, it is okay, but a museum also launches this kind of tourist route, which is really keeping up with the trend.

"Is it in the order of the development of the plot? I must experience it!"

"You're awesome, you're awesome, I'm impressed!"

"Will those tour companies and the Louvre give you a naming fee if they use your tour route or gimmick or something?"

Zhang Chu glanced at Yang Ling, "I want to be beautiful, but do they give it?"

"No way, after all, no one else directly made money with The Da Vinci Code. But in disguise, I still helped you promote it, since you take this tourist route, you can't say it if you don't buy a book. ”

"This is true, I heard from the staff of Nanhai Publishing Company that there are travel companies that directly buy 500 copies in groups, and there are several airlines that prepare this book directly on flights to Paris for passengers of all classes......

"This operation is also a bit six, you can see it everywhere!"

For example, on the first day, I went to Paris, France to visit the Louvre, the second day was the Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower, etc., on the third day, I went to the champion where Tibin was located, the cathedral and the castle where Leonardo da Vinci settled in his later years, and on the fourth day, I took the Eurostar to London to pay homage to Newton's tombstones, temple churches, etc...

Since "The Da Vinci Code" swept the world, the famous Louvre has been covered with a veil of mystery, causing waves of tourist visits.

In the last two months, the Louvre's ticket revenue has skyrocketed, almost as much as the previous half a year combined!

There are countless tourists who want to see the Mona Lisa, and you have to wait in line for dozens of minutes to see it from a distance.

In such interests, of course, museums will also succumb, so it is not surprising that a tourist route is opened exclusively in their own venues.

If a museum doesn't buy art, it's dying!

But almost all of these works of art are sky-high, how much money can the government allocate to it?

Tens of millions of euros a year, and decreasing every year!

So you have to raise your own money.

Ticket revenue is the main source of income for all museums, and the Louvre receives tens of millions of visitors every year, so the ticket revenue is quite large.

Now "The Da Vinci Code" has brought more visitors to the Louvre, and although it is a great test of the museum's ability to accept it, the income is not fake.

It is also extremely useful to develop and sell publications and derivative products, and in recent years the sales of bookstores and gift shops have accounted for more than half of the Louvre's total turnover.

For example, Mona Lisa-themed glasses cases, ancient Egyptian-style talisman necklaces, etc., Zhang Chu's "Da Vinci Code" has undoubtedly settled in the souvenir shop under the glass pyramid of the Louvre, and even the Da Vinci code cylinder inside is among them, and it has become a hit!

Nowadays, museum souvenirs are no longer the kind of days when you just find a famous painting printed on a keychain or T-shirt.

The Louvre has already cooperated with internationally renowned designers across borders, and the physical network has been occupied, and it seems that it will be sold to all corners of the world!

It can be said that the number of collections is as wonderful as the surroundings.

What's more, Paris is almost a global literary and artistic center, with all kinds of futuristic ideas and avant-garde designs, and these contemporary design masters are all proud to cooperate with the Louvre!

Even so, the Louvre has always been short of money, and it can cost tens of millions of euros to buy an extra painting or a sculpture.

How many souvenirs do you have to sell to earn it back?

Therefore, the local tycoons in the Middle East can establish the Middle East branch of the Louvre in Abu Dhabi, which can generate more than 1 billion euros in revenue for the Louvre.

In addition, museums can also take their own collections abroad to exhibit, and use this way of leasing to fill the funding gap for large-scale maintenance projects.

There are also a lot of venue rentals and sponsorship fees, such as the MV of the new song of American diva Beyoncé and her husband Jay-Z was filmed in the Louvre at a sky-high rent.

Zhang Chu's "The Da Vinci Code" was adapted into a movie by Disney, although filming has not yet started, but judging from the information he got, it will definitely be filmed in the Louvre.

Even if this can help the Louvre with publicity, I am afraid that it will have to pay a lot of money!

The effect of "The Da Vinci Code" is obvious, not only does it increase ticket revenue, but people who can fly to Paris for tourism are basically rich in money, so they will not be soft on souvenirs.

At the same time, the audio guide service is basically a long-term project, and where ordinary people can understand the artworks, they definitely need a tour guide to explain.

And these audio guide services are all smart devices, each of which costs at least 5 euros, how many tourists can be rented a day?

Culture and tourism are combined, so it is not an exaggeration for Zhang Chu to get the knighthood of literature and art, maybe there is a famous painting because of him to be bought and collected by the Louvre!
