"Cheng Hao, Wei Wei is not your name. ”

Wei Wei is not what you called!!

If it is played back in slow motion, Lin Ruonan's voice is like pouring a bowl of water into a boiling oil pot, and the oil splashes that suddenly rise tumble and evaporate the water vapor in an instant.

Soon it was calm again.

It's like nothing happened.

All I could hear was the noise of the bar and the sound of the piano keys being struck.

But the sound of the dust that had already settled in my ears was like a whistling storm, and even if it disappeared, there was still a trace of fierce breath.

Lin Ruonan was like a statue standing quietly, his eyes were calm and sharp, and when he fell on Cheng Hao's face, he stabbed badly.

Including Tian Xiaomei, the rest of the teenagers sat there looking at her with a completely speechless expression, their eyes full of doubts and a trace of astonishment.

Obviously.

They realized that Lin Ruonan was not joking.

After all, such a joke is not funny, and even a little excessive.

If not a joke---

They can't imagine what the outcome will be.

In their impressions.

From kindergarten to elementary school to junior high school to high school, Cheng Hao is almost a perfect synonym, but at this moment, the boy who was sitting on the sofa with a deep depression showed an unbelievable expression on his face.

Compared with the calmness and sophistication that matched his age, Cheng Hao in front of him seemed to be more like a living person, rather than the image that appeared in his mind when his parents mentioned his life.

Cheng Hao's face was indeed a little unsightly.

Just as others think.

He had never been choked like this, except for Lin Tao.

What's more, it's the least likely Lin Ruonan.

Wei Wei is what Lin Wei's elders in the family call him, even Yu Xin, that bastard, would not call Lin Wei like this.

Cheng Hao may not know.

Or maybe you know.

Lin Ruonan would not bother to think about such a complex issue.

She just used the simplest way to end the trace of superiority and ridiculous old-fashioned state in Cheng Hao's heart.

In the stunned looks of a group of people.

Cheng Hao almost stood up and walked in front of Lin Ruonan.

Just when everyone thought he was going to explode.

He just looked at Lin Ruonan in front of him coldly, and then his face tended to smile gently, as if he had not been affected in the slightest because of Lin Ruonan's previous words.

One way or another.

In terms of this bearing, Cheng Hao has exceeded the limit that a seventeen-year-old boy can reach.

After the atmosphere eased slightly, Lin Ruonan and Lin Wei had no choice but to sit down again, but the expressions on their faces were somewhat uncomfortable.

"Ruonan, tomorrow is your birthday, this is a copy of Xiaobai's autographed "Kung Fu Panda" that I specially got from Dongjiang Literary Magazine, and I will give it to you as a birthday gift. ”

When the book was handed to Lin Ruonan.

She did have some eye-catchers.

I have to say that Cheng Hao almost took advantage of the world's teenagers.

Both family background and talent are excellent.

Even the capture of the girl's heart is far beyond others.

Lin Ruonan really likes "Kung Fu Panda" very much, and prefers the author Xiaobai who has never met.

In fact.

Not only her, but even Yu Xin and Lin Wei, who were sitting next to her, were a little moved.

"Xiaobai's autograph, show me it!"

Before the book was hot, it was snatched by Tian Xiaomei on the other side, her face was full of fanaticism, this is another fanatical little bai fan.

The signature was indeed written by Lin Tao himself, and in order to stimulate sales, Wang Dongdong signed hundreds of copies in one go when he went to Ning'an last time.

Except for the staff of the magazine who took some of it, the rest was basically used by Wang Dongdong as a promotion and favor.

It is not an exaggeration to get a copy based on Cheng Hao's status in Ning'an City.

"This book is still somewhat interesting, but the author's skills are not thick, and he takes advantage of creativity, and in general, it is nothing more than that. ”

If it weren't for Cheng Hao right in front of him, I'm afraid it's hard to imagine that this kind of words would come from the mouth of a young man.

The kind of confidence and maturity between Cheng Hao's eyebrows is something that others can't learn.

It's just that Lin Ruonan most disagrees with such a point of view.

There was something familiar about the handwriting that caught her eye, but she couldn't remember where it seemed to be seen.

There is no point in having such an argument, but such an argument is not just like the rivalry between Cheng Hao and Lin Ruonan.

And even more so than that.

The shock and shock that "Kung Fu Panda" brought to the domestic market is undoubtedly beyond imagination, although it is not enough to become a work that surpasses the classics.

But to some extent, the huge sales bring not only a lot of economic benefits, but also a change in concept.

Any historic change begins with a simple thing.

The appearance of "Kung Fu Panda" is undoubtedly such a fuse.

Nearly two months have passed since its release, and the debate about this work is still not over.

The truth always becomes clearer the more it is argued.

Of course.

On top of that, Kung Fu Panda's sales are still growing at a terrifying rate.

Commercializing literature and measuring it in monetary terms doesn't seem to be something that most people in the industry would like to see.

But that still can't stop the work's upward momentum.

Just when the controversy was about to heat up again, the latest issue of Dongjiang Literature magazine broke the news again.

The English version of Kung Fu Panda has been preliminarily translated, and TK Literary Magazine is currently negotiating with publishers in Europe.

Once the two parties agree on the distribution of rights to the publication, it is highly likely that the arrangement for the official release after the year will be brought forward.

This also means:

Readers in Europe are likely to appreciate the charm of this Chinese panda just around the corner of the Lunar New Year.

"Kung Fu Panda" marches into Europe, waiting for another victory or a joke?

An authoritative domestic magazine published such an article on the front page the next morning.

The article claims.

As a work suitable for minors, the success of "Kung Fu Panda" in the domestic sales market is entirely due to the author's unbridled imagination, rather than the author's own refined pen power and high-level literary and artistic standards.

It is indeed unknown whether such a book will be successful in entering the European market.

Immediately, some media began to predict the prospects of "Kung Fu Panda" in the European market based on the number of Chinese literary works published and distributed in Western countries in the past decade.

The results are obvious.

It's going to be another joke.

In the Western literary market, Chinese works are rarely sought after.

This is not only because of the generation gap and differences between language and writing, but more because Westerners do not identify with Chinese works.

That same evening.

In the "Weekly Talk" broadcast by CCTV, the topic of the upcoming overseas version of "Kung Fu Panda" has once again sparked heated discussions.

And this time, it is also the first time that the debate about "Kung Fu Panda" has been discussed publicly, instead of a closed-door argument as in the past.

You go back and forth in newspapers and magazines, but no one really stands up to the camera to speak out.

"Recently, there has been a lot of controversy about a literary work, which is a very rare phenomenon even in the entire history of literature, but what kind of work can provoke such a heated discussion? ”

This is followed by a full three minutes of presentation.

From the listing of "Kung Fu Panda" to the news of the release of the overseas edition just announced by Dongjiang Literary Magazine not long ago, it was revealed.

If you don't discuss the literariness, the performance of this book in the commercial market alone can be regarded as shocking.

It is rare for a work to achieve such a level of sales in China.

From the thunderous applause on the show, it can be seen that compared with those discordant voices, the popularity of this work far exceeds many people's expectations.

Snap off the TV.

Smash your tongue twice.

Lin Tao even felt a little boring.

He was not interested in watching this kind of show, but stared at the booklet in his hand.

Only he knows that the final destination of this work will not be in China, let alone in Europe. The new booklet in front of him was the English version of the work that Wang Dongdong sent to him by courier.

The person who translated the work obviously had a more subtle level of language than himself, and of course, if he was not completely sure, Wang Dongdong would not have been able to hand over the work to the other party.

Wang Dongdong's call came at the right time.

"How about it, what do you feel after reading it, you, the author of the original work, are still not satisfied with the results of the translation, I can make it clear to you kid, people have become your fans after translating this work, and even your autograph has already been asked. ”

Wang Dongdong's tone was slightly exaggerated.

But the truth is being told.

The person who translated the work was his classmate at university, but he hadn't met for more than ten years after graduation, and the other party went to the UK to study and develop and never returned to China.

This time, it was also a coincidence that the other party agreed to give it a try.

But the result was also unexpected, after reading the original manuscript of the Chinese version, the other party not only changed his words and was willing to accept the attempt, but even the price could be preferentially considered.

Of course, the other party did ask him for the author's autograph.

It's just that Lin Tao, this kid, refuses to reveal his identity alive or dead, I'm afraid that the other party's desire to see him in person is probably going to be in vain.

"Not bad, if it's a beautiful woman I can consider it. ”

There was no sound in the microphone for a while.

Lin Tao paused for a moment before the corners of his mouth showed a wry smile.

It turned out that he had ignored his current situation just now, and he was not a golden bachelor who had been single for twenty or thirty years, but a high school student who had just turned 17 years old.

Wang Dongdong doesn't know how to squeeze himself in his heart.

"I've finally seen what it means to be cheeky and what it means to be self-taught, so I'll tell you what you said and see if there are any instructions. ”

Wang Dongdong hung up the phone after speaking.

The blind sound of the beep mostly made Lin Tao a little speechless.

After obtaining Lin Tao's approval.

He flew non-stop to London with less than five days left at the end of the year.

As a worldwide financial center.

London has a modern feel as well as a sense of history.

Rich coffee flavor.

Pale green tea aroma.

Brits love afternoon tea.

Wang Dongdong is not like this.

So even in the morning, even when the room was full of coffee, he still ordered a cup of green tea in style.

The fragrance of tea overflowed, and from time to time it aroused a number of surprised eyes.

In a café in the heart of London, near the banks of the River Thames, Buckingham Palace is clearly visible in the distance.

Sitting opposite Wang Dongdong was a woman who looked very freehand.

The figure is thin and straight, a black tweed coat is unbuttoned and put on the back of the chair behind him, and a beige sweater sets off the tall figure, which looks very mature and intellectual.

In terms of appearance, she is not a very beautiful woman, but she has a different taste.

Wang Dongdong, I haven't seen you for many years, I didn't expect you to still look like this, oops, I'm old. ”

The woman's voice was not crisp, and even had a hoarse feeling.

But Wang Dongdong enjoyed it.

"If you're old, then I don't know how many women on this street can jump the Thames. ”

The woman couldn't help but giggle when she heard Wang Dongdong's words.

Mature women will always have a special style, far from the charm and intellectual beauty that Lin Ruonan, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl who is still young, can show.

In the eyes of Wang Dongdong, who fell in front of him, this is even more so.

"I remember that you used to like to write when you were in college, and I heard that you are now in a magazine, how do you know the author of this book?"

"I don't dare not know him, he is my big customer, he read the sample of your translation and thinks it's okay. ”

"Okay? What a big breath, he's not afraid that I'll steal the copyright of his book?"

The woman said with a smile.

Li Weiwei is indeed very curious about the author of this "Kung Fu Panda", compared with those so-called writers in China, her ideological concepts are closer to Western society and modernization.

If it weren't for the fact that this work really attracted her, she would definitely not have agreed to this errand.

As a professor of linguistics at the University of Cambridge, she has no shortage of translation fees.

At her current level, the pursuit of self-spiritual pleasure has far outweighed the need for material gains.

"If you're worried about this, I'm afraid I won't look for you, this work is not highly evaluated in China, but as I said, in the commercial society, the quality of a work, sales are also a great consideration.

Judging from the sales of the work alone, although this book is not as good as "Harry Potter", it must also become a classic series of novels.

You know this better than I do. ”

Wang Dongdong is not the kind of person who likes to beat around the bush, and Li Weiwei naturally understands the character of this old classmate, although they have not met for more than ten years, but the two have always maintained a very close contact, which is why Wang Dongdong can find her quickly.

"Artistically speaking, this work will get a passing grade at most, but the commercial operation value is immeasurable, the European literary market is more mature and developed than the domestic one, as long as there is a publishing house that agrees to publish for you, there should be no problem in sales.

It's just that I'm curious, whether you wrote this book or not?"

Li Weiwei still has some doubts about whether the author of this work is Wang Dongdong himself.

"Hehe, you'll see sooner or later, author. ”

As far as I know, there are more than five million copies of this work in China, and five million copies is a remarkable number even in Europe. ”

Wang Dongdong was silent for a while.

Kung Fu Panda has been working wonders since its release, and it may even become a mythical experience.

It's not a simple question of how much confidence you have in it.

Just because you're selling well at home doesn't mean you're going to do it abroad.

However, Wang Dongdong will not have the slightest doubt about the value of this work, compared with the rampant piracy in China, the foreign management is stricter.

He really didn't dare to guess how much sales this work would eventually reach.

But it's not a challenge.

"No less than five million copies!"

Spit out of his mouth.

It's a number that sounds impossible. (To be continued.) )
