Chapter 142: Kites

After listening to the story, Zhu Ziqing thought of a book, "The Kite Runner". Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info The author of this book has the same name as Amir's grandfather, both named Cadler.

This book is the story of two teenagers in Afghanistan, a story of friendship and betrayal. It's just that these two teenagers are ordinary people, not as brave as Amir's grandfathers, Kadler and Hassan.

By the way, I can write this book. Zhu Ziqing's mind flashed in his heart.

In my previous life, this book had created many miracles. From the initial lack of attention, to reaching No. 3 on the US imperialist best-seller list, and staying on the New York Times bestseller list for 103 weeks, a total of 32 million copies were sold worldwide - 5 million copies in China alone.

The book has also earned Kadler many accolades, including the Observer's Book of the Year, the inaugural United Nations Humanitarian Award, the French Book Club's Book of the Year, the Elle Readers' Choice Novel of the Year Award, and the American Library Association's Book of the Year...... This book really made the author both fame and fortune.

Tao Yingshuang: Their new publishing house in the United States needs such influential works. And it can also allow him to officially enter the mainstream book market in Europe and the United States - "Seven Nights Fairy Tale" and "The Wizard of Oz" are good, but they are still defined as children's books.

If nothing else, there is one great takeaway from writing this book, and that is the friendship of the Amir family. Cadler's regret should also be the common regret of the Amir family, otherwise Amir would not have been so obsessed. It would be a great comfort to the Amir family if they took out this book themselves.

The Amir family has been operating in the United States for decades and has been thoroughly integrated into that country. If they knew that such a book was going to be published in the United States, they would do everything they could to make it easier. With this help, presumably Tao Yingshuang and they should soon be able to gain a firm foothold.

Not only Tao Yingshuang and them, but also a huge boost to Skynet Group's overseas expansion.

And taking out this book now can save a lot of trouble. The two worlds are similar but not different, and the history of Afghanistan is also slightly different from its previous life, so it is not possible to directly carry "The Kite Runner", and it has to be carefully revised.

All he knew was that Afghanistan should be on the tail of a chicken, and he really didn't know anything else. How to revise it? Take a lot of time to find out for yourself? Don't be kidding, it's better to carry other novels if you have that kind of work.

And now there is a real Afghan in front of him, and he can get help from him. Presumably Amir would be happy to play.

With Amir's excuse, there is also an explanation to the outside world. How did a man who had never been to Afghanistan write such an authentic Afghan story? Because Amir helped.

Carrying this book can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone.

After going through so many things, Zhu Ziqing's heart has also matured, and he is no longer as hesitant as before, he feels that this idea is feasible and quickly makes up his mind.

"I regret and am very touched by the friendship between your grandfather and Hassan. They are all upright people and should not suffer such a fate. Zhu Ziqing said.

"Thank you. After telling you, I feel so much better. "For an elite educated person like Amir, he doesn't really need enlightenment, he just needs a listener.

So Amir's mental state seemed much better after the story was told. Moreover, Zhu Ziqing obviously felt that the relationship between the two had become much closer. If they used to be roommates, now they can call each other friends.

"Amir, your story has touched me a lot and inspired me. I wanted to write a story about human friendship and redemption. Zhu Ziqing said tentatively. The plan is good, but I just don't know if others are willing to cooperate.

"Oh, my friend, are you telling the truth?" said Amir, unable to care less about his sadness.

"Really. Judging by his reaction, this should be done, but Zhu Ziqing still suppressed his excitement and said calmly.

"Is it my grandfather's story?" Amir asked.

"No, my friend, it would be disrespectful to write the story of your grandfather directly. I'm going to fictionalize two other characters based on the era in which they live. They are not as great as your grandfather and Hassan, just two little people. But they have the same great and sincere friendship that your grandfather had with Hassan. Zhu Ziqing hurriedly explained.

In order to drag Amir into the water, he didn't mind going against his true intentions and patting his grandfather Adler's ass - Zhu Ziqing really didn't have much sympathy for his grandfather, and he didn't have any sympathy.

From Adler's point of view, he is not wrong, but from the side of his homeland and friends, he is a traitor. There's really nothing to sympathize with. However, of course, Zhu Ziqing would not say these thoughts, unless he wanted to become enemies with Amir.

Amir's agitated mood calmed down a lot, nodded and said, "Your consideration is correct, we should consider the feelings of grandfather and Hassan." ”

"Yes. But you know, I don't know much about your home country, and I need your help to get this book out there. Zhu Ziqing said.

"Don't worry, my friend, I will tell you all about the history and living habits of my motherland, and I will do my best to help you finish this book. Amir immediately understood what Zhu Ziqing meant, and said without hesitation.

"Thank you. ”

"No, I should thank you. ”

Next, the two people with a common goal began to talk about Afghanistan, talking about local customs, ethnicities, living habits, and so on.

When Amir talks about something that appeared in "The Kite Runner", Zhu Ziqing will take the opportunity to take out certain clips, making him mistakenly think that he only thought of the plot under his inspiration.

This kind of 'inspirational' plot emerges that Amir deeply admires, and at the same time, it is also a high level of talk. It was more enthusiastic and detailed.

When Amir inadvertently talked about kites, Zhu Ziqing began to pretend to be curious and asked. After Amir explained the origin clearly, Zhu Ziqing slapped his thigh, and the story framework with excitement on his face was conceived. So the story framework of the master, servant, two teenagers and the kite was told.

After listening to this framework, Amir was very satisfied, and at the same time completely admired Zhu Ziqing's creative ability. Then the two of them were even more excited to discuss how to refine the story.

After an enthusiastic discussion between the two, it was unanimously decided that the book would be called "The Kite Runner". Of course, 'eager discussion' is Amir's opinion. In Zhu Ziqing's view, after his constant guidance, the origin of this book was finally whitewashed.

In the evening, Zhu Ziqing wanted to invite everyone to have a meal and get together, but Amir naturally raised his hands in agreement. As a result, Hasr accompanied his girlfriend to the city at night and did not come back. Feng Zhengyuan came back, but since he came back, he held his mobile phone and smiled lewdly, and he didn't know who he was chatting with, so he didn't have time to say a word. Two of the four people didn't go, and the meal was lost.

If you don't go out to party, you have nothing to do. Zhu Ziqing's belongings are kept in the house, and there is only bedding in the dormitory, so there is no way to pass the long night. So I made an excuse and said that I would go back and perfect the story and write the outline, and I went back to the house. Although Amir was reluctant, he did not stop him.

When I returned to the house, I found that Lin Baoer had not returned. Although I have become accustomed to it, I still feel a little lost. After the formation of the Skynet Group, I thought she would be a little freer, but who knew that she would be busier than before.

Eat and live in the company almost six days a week, and call her anytime she is either in a meeting or researching. Zhu Ziqing saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart. But he didn't try to persuade, because he knew that she was having fun.

What is rare in life is to find the ideal, and what is even more rare is to work the road of the ideal. Now that she has found it, then he will support it unconditionally.

The loss was only a matter of moments, and it was soon gone. called Lin Bao'er and told her to eat on time, not to be too late, to call him when she was done, and then to go about her own business.

The Analects of Confucius was written at the beginning of the school year, and has been revised several times so far. As Ai Jiange said, there should be a result.

Turn on the computer and drop out the document, add new insights, and delete what you think is inappropriate. Another week passed when he had exhausted all the new ideas in his head and could no longer squeeze out anything.

When he confirmed that he was no longer capable of making changes, he finally stopped.

Then he talked to Chen Qiming and Jia Qigong on the phone respectively, and told them his concerns, hoping to find answers from them.

The two of them are surprisingly consistent in their thoughts and Ai Jiange, and they both believe that if there are no logical errors, no errors in opinions, this book can already be published. As for the new ideas, they can be written in the next book, or a revised version in a few years. At this point, Zhu Ziqing really put his mind at ease.

Now that it has been decided to finalize the draft, Zhu Ziqing no longer inked, and first told Ai Jiange that the writing was completed and could be published at any time. Ai Jiange was naturally ecstatic, saying that the school immediately launched the publicity process to maximize its influence.

Finally, Zhu Ziqing dialed Tao Yingshuang's phone. This book naturally chose to be published in Silian Publishing House, and did not tell Tao Yingshuang what to do.

"Hey, Ziqing, why are you calling me at this time?" Tao Yingshuang's sleepy voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hmm, I said are you a pig, what do you sleep in the daytime? Zhu Ziqing said sarcastically.

"What is the daylight, I'm in the United States, it's the middle of the night here, okay?" Tao Yingshuang said angrily.

"Why did you run away to the American Emperor, something happened over there?" Zhu Ziqing said strangely.

"The day before yesterday, the company's translation team translated your "Harry Potter" and "Sherlock Holmes", and they are ready to be published and serialized. How can I rest assured that such an important matter is not personally in charge. Speaking of these two books, Tao Yingshuang was completely sleepy and said excitedly.

Yes, the books that Zhu Ziqing published to them were the best-selling "Harry Potter" series in his previous life, and "Sherlock Holmes" was used to be serialized in magazines.

"It's translated so quickly, are you guys fast? Zhu Ziqing said in surprise.

"Fast? I think it's slow. By the way, what's the matter with you calling me? It's not going to be a small talk to me, is it?"

"My Analects has been finalized. (To be continued.) )
