Chapter 136: Extra Money

Zhuang Yan sat in the study and carefully looked at the comments of netizens. Usually, he also wants to see what book friends think after reading the book, but there are too many comments, and most of them are non-nutritious comments, and he is not interested in watching them.

There happened to be nothing to do today, "The Old Man and the Sea" in his hands, and there were no other new book tasks, so he decided to take a little time to read the reviews on the Internet.

Looking at it, suddenly a popular comment popped up in the front row, and there were dozens of other people's replies under the comment.

Zhuang Yan clicked on it and swept it over, and there were about a dozen lines densely packed with it, which was an out-and-out long comment.

The comment was a book friend nicknamed "Black Sheep", in which he said that he was an American, liked Zhuang Yan's books very much, and he wanted to recommend Zhuang Yan's books to his friends, but his friends did not understand Chinese, so he asked Zhuang Yanyun if he would allow him to translate the book to his friends in an oral way.

It can be seen that this foreigner's Chinese is indeed very good, the wording of the comment is very accurate, and the expression is also very smooth. Such good Chinese also made Zhuang Yan doubt his identity, but after thinking about it, the other party seemed to have no reason to lie to him.

In fact, this black sheep wants to translate the book to his friends, and he doesn't have to ask Zhuang Yan at all, although there is a copyright issue, but as long as the other party is not used for commercial purposes, it is not involved in this aspect.

So Zhuang Yan replied: "Of course, as long as it is not used for commercial purposes, you can translate it to your friends." And I also have good news for you, the English version of this book is already in preparation, and if foreign friends want to read it, they will be able to see the English version in a month. ”

Zhuang Yan's reply, this comment immediately exploded.

[I've lived for a long time, but I didn't expect the deity to come out. 】

[Don't believe it, this is a high imitation, Zhuang Da will not come out. 】

[High imitation head, there is no doubt that it is the deity, I just want to ask, a month later, can the English version really come out?]

[Upstairs, you Chinese, what do you care about the English version, do you need it?]

[Who doesn't have a few foreign friends. 】

[I don't care about the English version, I just want to know if there is a French version, I am studying in France, I want to recommend the book to my classmates, but there is no French version, and I dare not translate it myself. 】

[RB international students are here, saying that my RB students have no pressure to read Chinese books. 】

[Don't translate, let these people who want to read books come to learn Chinese, hahahaha.] 】

……

Zhuang Yan did not expect a comment to blow up so many international students, as for some people said not to translate, let foreigners come to learn Chinese, Zhuang Yan shook his head, even if you want cultural invasion, you can't use this way.

Of course, if someone really came to learn Chinese to read his books, it would be his contribution to Chinese culture.

There are also some international students studying in RB and South Korea who say that their students have no pressure to read Chinese books, which is also normal, after all, Chinese characters are an indispensable part of the writing of these two countries, and the degree of awareness of Chinese characters in Japan and South Korea in this era is much stronger than that of later generations.

Of course, there are some proud Koreans who think that Chinese characters were invented by Koreans, but this is just for their own amusement, and none of the other countries take it seriously.

In fact, Zhuang Yan has also taken these comments to heart, not to mention the rest, Italy and France, two countries, should indeed make a translated version.

In the previous life, Yu Hua was very famous in France, but in France, his most famous work was actually "Brothers", not "Alive", but "Alive" also won the International Courier Foreign Fiction Award, for which Yu Hua was also awarded the Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres de France.

And in Italy, "Alive" won the Grenzanaka Forwen Award, which is also an important award.

Although this era is different from the previous era, Zhuang Yan still feels that it is necessary to promote the book to these two countries.

Just when Zhuang Yan was thinking about these things, a reward message suddenly popped up in the upper right corner: Black Sheep rewarded 5,000 yuan.

Then a systematic comment appeared in the comment area: Congratulations to Black Sheep for winning three and a half guardian stars in "The Catcher in the Rye".

The fan level of the literary and art website is very simple, that is, to look at the number of stars, a zero represents a star, and half a star means that the first number has reached five.

For example, spending 10 yuan is a star, spending 50 is a half-star, spending 100 is 2 stars, and spending 500 is 2 and a half stars.

So if a person has three and a half stars, you can see that the amount he spends should be between five thousand and ten thousand.

The 5,000 yuan given by Black Sheep this time is the most reward Zhuang Yan has received on the website of the literary and art world, in fact, there are a lot of rewards, but they are generally ten yuan, and a little more than 100 yuan. Before, Zhuang Yan thought about it for a while, he didn't remember who rewarded him, but the amount was 1,000 yuan.

After the congratulatory message sent by the system on this website came out, many book friends ran to the following to reply, all of which were ridiculed by "local tyrants" and "hugging thighs".

Zhuang Yan is now worth almost 10 million, of course he doesn't care much about the 5,000 yuan, but he still thanked this black sheep in his heart, but he only thanked him in his heart.

It's impossible to thank you specifically, it's different now than when I first opened the book, and now there will be some rewards every day, although the number is not much, but the number is quite a lot.

If Zhuang Yan wants to thank the five thousand, then he must thank the other book friends who have rewarded him, otherwise it will seem too philistine.

People will think, oh, don't thank you for the little money, thank you for the big money.

But if you want to thank you, Zhuang Yan won't do anything else all day long, so he will write a thank you speech.

Therefore, Zhuang Yan can only thank him in his heart.

But unexpectedly, it may be stimulated by this black sheep, and many people have followed the trend and started to reward, although it is not much, but during this period of time, rewarding that small standard, it keeps playing news.

You are ten yuan, I am fifty, Zhuang Yan didn't read carefully, but in the five minutes just now, the number of people who gave rewards is estimated to be twenty or thirty.

The average book friend is to reward the number of nodes, what is the number of nodes, it is ten, fifty, one hundred. Book friends are not stupid, rewarding these numbers is just enough to get stars, and it's useless to get more, after all, the number of stars you get by tipping 499 and tipping 100 is actually the same, both are two stars.

Seeing these rewards, Zhuang Yan smiled, it seems that it is the right choice to send the book on the website, after all, there is no such extra money to send physical books.
