Chapter 151: The Book of the World!

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The moment Lu Yichou set off to meet his foreign partner, his heart suddenly moved, and he thought of a possibility, which was a businessman's intuition, or talent, or long-term experience immersed in shopping malls, in short, he decided to put it off for a day.

Since signing Gu Yongsheng, I have not exchanged new books, talked about publicity, and talked about family things with him a thousand times, but also five hundred times, although I can't say that I know him well (that guy is a big city mansion if simple), but I can still grasp some clues about his character.

He had never sent a text message so early and so deliberately to inform himself about a short story, and there was only one possibility for him to do so, and that was that he must have personally valued the short story very much.

With Zhuyu's "The True Story of Ah Q" in front, Lu Yichou couldn't help but pay attention to the signal released by Liu Jingting, and when Liu Jingting mentioned this work, it happened to be after he felt that he wanted to fight back against foreign partners, that is, at least Liu Jingting himself thought that this short story had the potential to surprise those foreign booksellers.

On the way to the negotiation, Lu Yichou carefully planned how to hold back the arrogant French bookseller, he first called Han Shuo and informed him that he could be late for a while, and then notified Yi Shui'an to save the scene.

After doing these two things, he gave his assistant two more tasks, booked a private room in Beicheng, and made an appointment with Master Zheng, a gold medal foot spa in Qianxing Foot City.

In fact, when Yi Shui'an arrived, Lu Yiqiao found that his last two arrangements were really a bit excessive, because the bookseller from the romantic capital Paris was shocked after seeing Yi Shui'an, and the conversation was full of words, opening with two broken sentences of "There are friends from afar, not happy" in Chinese, and then from poetry and song to life philosophy, and then from life philosophy to a certain street in Paris, and at the same time he also took the initiative to cancel the flight back to China that night.

Lu Yichou sat aside with a smile and an indistinct smile, and occasionally interjecting a few sentences was also very appropriate after Han Shuo appeared. Yi Shui'an was ready to get up and say goodbye, but finally couldn't withstand the enthusiasm of foreign friends, so he had to go to Beicheng together.

Lu Yichou struck while the iron was hot, and in order to express his "apology", he had already booked a plane for tomorrow night for this foreign partner, and the French bookseller, who had become a gentleman earlier, was naturally very grateful.

……

Liu Jingting, who had taken a day off, was sitting next to the computer in his dormitory at this time, his fingers tapping on the keyboard rapidly, just like he had always done.

In terms of length, "The Little Prince", which is only 25,000 words translated into Chinese, is an authentic short story. But the narrative structure is complete. But it's comparable to a good classical drama or a novel. The skillful use of novel techniques such as foreshadowing, development, and other novel techniques, as well as the flexible transformation of first- and third-person narration, all demonstrate the masterful writing skills and the beauty of classical narration.

In terms of influence, this slim novel was voted the best book of the 20th century by French readers. Seventy years after its publication, millions of copies are still sold around the world, and the total number of copies sold has reached 200 million, second only to the Bible.

At the same time, "The Little Prince" is also a novel with the most translations, and according to rough statistics, it has been translated into at least nearly two hundred and fifty languages.

That classic saying, which is full of the meaning of Oriental Zen Buddhism, has been sung to this day and has become the gospel of generations of people who have been cocooned and bound by themselves.

"What really matters has to be seen with the mind. Because important things cannot be seen with the eyes. ”

The story uses the child's perspective to expose the emptiness, blindness, foolishness and rigid dogma of adults, and uses simple and naΓ―ve language to write about the loneliness and loneliness of human beings and the fate of drifting with the flow. At the same time, the story criticizes and ridicules the relationship between money, and praises and celebrates truth, goodness and beauty.

Liu Jingting still remembers the surprise when he first saw the book in the library. is similar to the situation when Sun Wukong first heard the Holy Dao, dancing with his hands and scratching his ears and cheeks.

Those classic sentences, Liu Jingting can easily recite them in the other world:

"It's also very lonely in the crowd. ”

"When you're sad, you like to watch the sunset. ”

"It's because you spend time with your roses that make your roses so important. ”

"If a person has a soft spot for a flower, and that flower is unique in the vast galaxy, then he will be satisfied just by looking up at the stars. ”

"If you tame me, we will need each other......"

……

……

After a long time, when I faced these words again, I was still so excited that I couldn't help myself, and it was hard to imagine that such a fairy tale could actually break the hearts of those young boys and girls who were just beginning to fall in love and a group of literary and artistic young people.

The teenagers who don't know the taste of sorrow are simply defenseless against this kind of "loneliness in the crowd", and spending time with roses, roses are so important is the importance of companionship.

Every moment of mutual companionship is irreplaceable, which is why there is a saying that "the real luxury of paying is willing to spend time with you".

As for the phrase "the only flower in the galaxy" makes those who are in a crush or ambiguous period unable to extricate themselves, just imagine, if you have a soft spot for someone, will you be thrilled when you hear the name of the city where he (she) is located?

……

"The Little Prince" is a fairy tale written for adults, or a fairy tale written for adults who used to be children, so Liu Jingting pondered and wrote a sentence before the beginning of the book, "I would like to dedicate this book to so-and-so", but after thinking about it, one of these people who are dedicated to the book may not like to be publicly named, and one of the people he wants to dedicate is really a lot. ”

So Liu Jingting added at the beginning of the document: "I dedicate this book to Hu Xiaomi, Yi Shui'an, Qiao Keli, Gong Chengen, Wang Qianqian, Sun Xinyang, Yu Xiaoshu, Zhao Kan, and all the children and children who have grown up, and I hope that everyone will not forget the days of playing with mud and carrying diapers." ”

After Liu Jingting finished typing this paragraph, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and he roughly browsed the entire document, and then knocked on the WC of Lu Yichou and Yi Shui'an, and wrote a sentence "Finish it in advance, please check your mailbox." ”

Then, Liu Jingting sent "The Little Prince" to the encrypted mailboxes of the two.

When Lu Yichou received the email prompt, he was lying in Qianxing Foot City to accompany Basiler for a pedicure, and after seeing Liu Jingting's message, he apologized to Basiler a little. Then he replied, "Awesome! hard work, talk outside, talk back at night." ”

Yi Shui'an, who had already taken the opportunity to leave and returned to the office, replied with a word "um" on the WC and opened the document as soon as possible.

For Yi Shui'an herself, this encounter with "The Little Prince" is the most unprepared experience she has ever been in the book, and almost every paragraph, every word, and every word in the story has hit her aesthetic point and smashed into the depths of her heart.

It was the first book she had read in the middle of a book that she suddenly didn't dare to read on. Because she was afraid that it would be gone after reading it. She was afraid to finish the book. The words will disappear into thin air.

Many hardcore readers have had this experience, love to go crazy with a book, but are worried about reading it.

This unprecedented experience and shock made Yi Shui'an forget to reply to Liu Jingting after finally finishing reading. This is a novel that doesn't need any construction, and the punctuation in it is all too much to add one and too little to subtract.

Half an hour later, Yi Shui Anping replied calmly: "Liu Jingting, thank you for dedicating the book to me, I have been an author for a long time, and I am loved by many readers, and I have become a so-called star author, you should know." I don't have any concept of stars and star chasing, but, Liu Jingting, when this novel comes out, please sign it for me. ”

After Yi Shui An sent this paragraph. Turning his head to look out the window, he happened to see the red sunset preparing to go down, and the afterglow of the setting sun spilled into the corner of the office through the large floor-to-ceiling windows.

"When you're sad, you like to watch the sunset. Yi Shui'an said softly.

After Lu Yichou finished reading "The Little Prince", his reaction was relatively calm, he first forwarded the email to Wei Wuzhi, and then left a message: "Old man, show you a famous book that is going to make a sensation in the world." ”

When Lu Yichou said this, he naturally followed his usual exaggerated style, but later events magically verified his sentence, which was also a rare prophecy that he had a big mouth but was not slapped in the mouth.

Wei Wuzhi left a message to Lu Yichou at three o'clock in the morning: "This is a great book, and other compliments are superfluous. ”

The next day, Lu Yichou and Wei Wuzhi jointly found Basiler and showed him the manuscript, although Basiler was known as "China Tong", but he still stayed away from Chinese characters, and when the translator finished the whole story, Basiler did not express XiΓ n surprise like Lu Yichou and Wei Wuzhi, but just politely said: "You can cooperate with this story synchronously." ”

The so-called synchronization means that the two versions of China and France in the two countries are listed at the same time, and the purpose of this is to create momentum and form global influence.

Lu Yichou and Wei Wuzhi glanced at each other tacitly, knowing that Basille was playing psychological warfare, and Lu Yichou remained silent at the moment, and said: "If Your Excellency agrees with this story, I am willing to accompany Your Excellency to meet Mr. Braun." ”

Braun is naturally the big boss of Basiler's backstage.

Basil was able to be dispatched to China, which has the world's largest market, which shows his vision and work ability, but now in the face of two scheming old foxes whose city government is not weaker than his own, he is indeed not sure that he will succeed in taking advantage of the fire, and it seems that it is inevitable to bring the surnamed Lu back to Paris with him.

……

That evening, Lu Yichou took an interpreter and Basille on the same plane as him to Paris.

Lu Yichou stayed in Paris for two days, and successfully persuaded Braun to meet with Qianhong's British partner Elvis, and finally, the three parties decided to release "The Little Prince" globally!

This is another stroke written by Lu Yichou on his publishing resume.

Twenty-five days later, "The Little Prince" landed simultaneously in China, Britain and France, and the "Little Prince Hurricane" quietly rose from the three countries, and then swept across Asia and Europe with a devastating and overwhelming momentum, affecting the whole world.

English is the most widely spoken language in the world, Chinese is the most spoken language in the world, and "The Little Prince", whether it is universal values, or the exploration of innocence and the ultimate emotions of human beings, can be called a spiritual feast belonging to all mankind!

Of course, it is also big news that the world's major media are happy to see.

Le Monde bore the brunt of the news and did not hesitate to praise it: "The Little Prince is the spiritual wealth shared by all mankind. ”

And the Times believes: "This is a fairy tale written by Orientals to Westerners." ”

The Washington Post, which received the news a little later, commented succinctly: "This is a timeless work!"

Compared with the above media outlets, the New York Times has a more fierce view, and the female reporter named Jian Ning wrote in a complicated way: "This is a work that is enough to put the author of a fairy tale in the whole Western world to shame!"

Journalists express their views, pay attention to blockbusters, catch people's attention, and if they follow the line of moderation and blindly calm and gentle, the manuscript is not even a problem in the newspapers, and one of the roles of the media is to cause controversy and thus lead the information trend, and they especially support the fierce exchange of opinions.

Of course, this is also a killer feature for the newspaper to increase sales.

For various reasons, the reaction of the domestic media was slow, and it was not until the whole world was looking for "jingtingliu" that the domestic media began to move on a large scale.

……

Liu Jingting knew that this novel would be a big hit, but he didn't expect that this kind of fire would almost double the number in his bank card, and this was the first time he felt the difference in treatment of best-selling authors in different countries.

Regarding a reader's request to see him, Liu Jingting reiterated the old words, and Lu Yichou responded: "You like to eat eggs, why do you have to see what the hen that lays eggs looks like?" (to be continued)
