The group gradually became lively.

The authors of the usual diving have bubbled, and more than 40 people have appeared in a while, and according to the usual practice, applause to welcome the new member Shen Zhe.

Shen Zhe smiled: "They are all seniors, I have to be humble." ”

"Haha!"

"There's no need for that, you can say whatever you want, anyway, this is the youngest one in the group, right?"

"Hey, really. ”

"No one dares to say that there is no one before, and it is indeed the first time that the author who has sold tens of millions of dollars at the age of 20 has seen it. ”

Shen Zhe: "Anyway, no matter how you praise me, I'm just modest." ”

"Hahaha!"

Shen Gongzi: "Come in and have fun." ”

After getting acquainted with the new members, let's continue with the topic we just talked about.

Lin Hui: "Speaking of Wang Da, he is one of the few authors who can make waves in the West. ”

Shen Gongzi: "Well, this is, in addition to him, only Brother Tang and the old demon in the group can go to the western countries to jump twice." ”

"How can I not hear that right?"

Tang Yizong made a roll-eyed expression: "Don't even mention my business, I was abused by that hairy boy in France last year." ”

Nanshan Old Demon: "Not to mention, I landed in three countries for more than half a year, and sold a total of four million copies, and I didn't make any lists." ”

Xia Dong: "Is it a translation problem?"

Tang Yizong: "For this reason, it is difficult to find good translations, and the bigger problem is that our text translations used to read wrong. For example, in domestic genre literary works, there are many idioms, colloquialisms and other things that fit the context very well, and once they are translated, they have a lot less flavor. We say At-thirty, a-man-should-be-able-to-think-for-himself, how wrong is this!"

One author laughed: "Haha, Old Tang is suffering from it." ”

"Who's to say it isn't?"

Xia Dong: "We can't be so pessimistic, there are many similar situations in their works, and we don't read the translation as well as the original text." ”

Shen Gongzi disagreed: "Xiaodong, the key lies in values, not in language and text. ”

"Shen Gongzi is going to give a lecture in the group again?"

"Sit and wait. ”

"I also look at the excitement. ”

Suddenly, three more authors revealed their true identities.

Shen Gongzi: "Come and hack me again, yes, it's useless not to talk to you, I'll talk about mine." ”

……

Shen Zhe didn't speak all the time, and he watched it with relish.

These highly accomplished authors of popular literature also think a lot, but there seems to be one thing that is most concerned, book sales, and being read by others to be influential.

Unlike some literary figures, who obviously want to sell more books, they don't care about it.

Of course, some seniors really don't care, and the new generation of authors after the outbreak of the Chinese economy rarely regard money as dung.

Shen Gongzi: "Books are products made by the cultural industry, carrying a thing called values. ”

As soon as he spoke, he revealed the kind of ruffian that is peculiar to the text.

"The sales of books are determined by the willingness of readers to buy them, but readers' tastes are deeply influenced by values, and our people have largely embraced modern Western civilization. So the works that have entered the bestseller list on their side, and the introduction of Huaxia is often still a bestseller, just like the blockbusters introduced by Xingchen Media STV. On the other hand, even if the poisonous fast food books suit their tastes, foreign copyright sales are not particularly ideal. ”

"In the past few years, my reputation has not been so bad, and I have been working on the introduction of foreign books for a while. ”

Tang Yizong: "Have you ever done this?"

Shen Gongzi: "Well, you forgot that I also have a publishing house?"

"At that time, we were not less ridiculed by our Western counterparts, intentionally or unintentionally, and we were indeed faltering in the export of cultural products, and there was nothing to argue. can compete with them, and there is only a fantasy literature direction, such as Old Tang, Old Demon ......"

Tang Yizong smiled bitterly: "I can't count on it at all." ”

Nanshan Old Demon: "It's not as good as Brother Tang." ”

There was a commotion in the group, and a group of people protested.

"Cowardly?"

"It's boring, you two are starting to be soft before you two do?"

Shen Gongzi: "Okay, I can't blame them, our group of people can't complete the counterattack, and it depends on how the next generation of young writers are." ”

Xia Dong suddenly spoke: "You seem to have forgotten a person, Wang Da's single book is not as good as him." ”

"Who, such a cow?"

Xia Dong: "Alas, who won the Royal Literary Award last year?"

Someone said: "Alas, isn't it, Wang Da relies on quantity, saying that the single book is still Shen Zhe's highest achievement." ”

"I think about it, Helen's affair deceived the people of the United States a lot. ”

"What about Shen Zhe, why didn't you speak when you joined the group?"

Shen Zhe: "Oh, I see that the seniors are chatting happily, learn first." ”

Shen Gongzi: "Snort, it seems that I said that you are a novice, you are more honest than Lao Tang when he joined the group, and you have to hold back for half a year before expressing your opinions?"

Shen Zhe was speechless: "Brother Shen, showing muscles is not my style. ”

Shen Gongzi: "I've read your peach blossom poems, which are really good, but it's really bad for you to see through the world at a young age." ”

"I'm worried about giving new words. ”

Writing poetry in modern society is not a good thing, especially when you are young, no matter how good your poetry is, the first thing you give is the impression of pretending.

Shen Gongzi: "I see that you are a prolific author, Helen's book and a few short stories last month, and you seem to be very good at creating in the Western context, and I hope to write good works on the world as soon as possible." What we lack is a top-notch book that can represent domestic authors, don't look at me and understand everything, in fact, it is completely different to write, after all, the environment in which I grew up has limited the creative style, and the authors after the 80s do not have this problem. ”

Tang Yizong: "Shen Gongzi's words are to the point. ”

"I've seen a lot of their science fiction works, and even if they are imitated, they still have a Chinese flavor. ”

Shen Zhe could feel from their chat that Huaxia, a group of top best-selling authors, was helpless in the face of Western publications.

He didn't have any good way to carry the classics of his life.

This is a weakness at the cultural level, even at the civilization level, because the modern civilization, which the whole world is already inseparable, originated in Western countries.

Perhaps there really needs to be another saint to integrate modern civilization into the Chinese civilization system.

Thinking about it, there is no need for that, Huaxia has paid attention to collective creation since ancient times, and then highlighted a representative figure.

For example, Fu Xi is to the Book of Changes, and Yuan Longping is to hybrid rice......

After chatting in the group for about an hour, Shen Zhe basically entered the circle of best-selling authors and spoke casually. A colleague who was interested in him asked if there were any new works to be published, and he replied that there would probably be two short stories at the end of the winter break.

"Winter break? Oh, I almost forgot, you just went to college!" the interrogator collapsed.

In fact, although the group is all seniors, many of whom have stepped into the literary circle for ten or more years, no one dares to underestimate Shen Zhe.

There is no age limit for writing books, and middle and high school students also have talented authors who publish books, often a meteor.

Generally speaking, it is more appropriate to enter a university and publish your debut novel.

And Shen Zhe has just been a freshman this year, and he has only been in the industry for about a year and a half, and he has disappeared for most of the time in the middle, and he still stepped into the threshold of best-selling authors. Even the most open-mouthed Shen Gongzi had to admit in his heart that what Shen Zhe could achieve, he might not be able to do it again.

"Big news! Big news!"

Suddenly, another member of the group dived out of the water, first sending out several exclamation marks in a row.

"Hey, there's a newcomer?"

Administrator Xia Dong: "Well, bring Shen Zhe in." ”

This person's name is "Fei Yang Bahu", and when he saw Xia Dong's reply, he exclaimed: "Wow, it's Shen Da!"

Lin Hui: "Wang Zhi, Ben San's people still pretend to be pure, aren't they disgusting?"

Shen Zhe suddenly, just saw the screen name and didn't recognize who the author was, Lin Hui knew it as soon as he said Wang Zhi, a famous campus literary writer. I saw him on the news, twenty-seven or eighteen years old, not tall, he looked shy, I didn't expect his screen name to be so different.

Wang Zhi: "Sister Lin Hui, I'm really a fan of Shen Da's books. ”

Lin Hui: "Okay, I know that you like martial arts, say something big, if there is no shock, you will be killed on the spot!"

Wang Zhi: "Do you know the cultural revival plan?"

Everyone: "......"

Shen Gongzi: "You kid just woke up, it's been two months since this matter was mentioned, why did you go for so long?"

Wang Zhi: "Ah, I know everything? ”

"Haha, your writing style, retreat is useless, right? You should go back to school and experience campus life again. ”

Wang Zhi: "Isn't it a layman, who will read it now when writing about real campus life?" immediately typed another line of words: "I won't tell you this, in other words, since the cultural revival, there must be benefits for our authors, is it that the star standard of manuscript fees will be raised?"

Tang Yizong: "It is estimated that it is almost the same, but first of all, the work should be good, and the above should be aimed at global cultural products......"

Shen Gongzi: "Don't expect too much, how many times has there been a revival?"

After a while, he added: "In my guess, the most likely incentive is to include overseas issuance data in star ratings." ”

"Huh?"

"Will it be too embarrassing to do this unilaterally?"

"Can you eat face?"

……

It's four hours to be in the group, and the code word task has not been completed today.

Whether domestic authors endure humiliation or have no choice but to do anything about it, it is not a big problem for Shen Zhe. Moving out of a few Western works in his later life, the effect is estimated to be immediate, but it takes time to go from shallow to deep.

At present, according to the original plan, the two short stories that are ready to be published are completed.

Look at the time, it's already around five o'clock in the afternoon.

The content is all ready-made in my head, and it takes three or four hours a day to code out one or two thousand words, and the progress is very easy to complete.

It's just that if Shen Zhe picks up a book, it is too easy to fall into a trance, and he is often delayed.

Just as work was about to start, there was a knock on the door.

"Bangbang!"

Usually his mother went to open the door, and Shen Zhe sat on the chair in the study and did not move.

"Boom!"

The knocking on the door continued, and the pressure was increasing.

Shen Zhe frowned and got up and walked out of the study, finding that his mother had gone out at some point, no wonder no one paid attention to the knocker.

Lin Yuhan's voice sounded outside.

"Grandpa Li, Ah Zhe should be at home, do you want me to make a call for you?"

I heard Uncle Li say in a loud voice: "Girl, what about washing clothes, it's a cold day, it's okay, why shouldn't people be silent at home......"

As he spoke, Shen Zhe opened the door.

"Boy, you're really at home, you're alone?"

Shen Zhe hurriedly said: "Grandpa Li, come in, I'm sorry, I didn't hear the knock just now." ”

Turning his head and seeing Lin Yuhan being alarmed, with laundry gloves on his hands and a nunu mouth, Lin Yuhan glanced at him, turned around and went into the house to continue to do his own thing.

Uncle Li looked at the Shen family's living room.

"Grandpa Li, are you looking for me, or are you looking for my parents?"

Uncle Li turned around and said with a smile: "What are you looking for your parents for, I see you downstairs every day, looking for you." ”

"Grandpa Li sits. ”

"Oh, I'm looking for you this time to authorize. ”

Shen Zhe almost bit his tongue and stammered, "Grant ...... Delegate what authority?"

Uncle Li frowned and said, "You kid, why don't you take what you write seriously? You put your studies first, and you can't always occupy your time, isn't this my own battle." However, I heard Lao Huang Jia Zhijun say that telling stories in the community without your authorization is an infringement of your ...... So what's the right?"

"Copyright?" Shen Zhe said tentatively.

Uncle Li patted his leg: "Yes, just this right, if you don't know, forget it, if you know, you can't make you suffer." ”

Shen Zhe couldn't cry or laugh: "Grandpa Li, do you mean to pay?"

Uncle Li's eyes glared: "Pay? I give others free stories, and I still have to pay, what is the reason?"

He looked unhappy: "As long as you authorize it." ”

Shen Zhe's body shook, and he just wanted to rub his swollen braincase, it was really a communication barrier.

"Grandpa Li, you tell the neighbors for free, you don't need me to authorize it, as long as they like to listen, you can say whatever you want. ”

"Then Zhijun said I violated your rights?"

"He doesn't understand!"

"It's really okay, we don't do things that make mistakes. ”

I wish you a long and 100-year-old life! Shen Zhe felt very helpless, so he had no choice but to say, "That's okay, Grandpa Li, now I officially authorize you." ”

"That's it?" Uncle Li stomped, "It's that simple?"

"Grandpa Li, let me explain it to you, this copyright is indeed the author's right. But if you don't use it to make a profit, it's fine, let's look up and see you down, which sub-right to grant, rest assured. ”

Strictly speaking, without permission, without indicating the source, etc., not making a profit is also an infringement.

But compared to the truth, Shen Zhe is too second.

What he himself did was a blatant infringement, but it was a copyright law that could not be applied to this world, and no one knew about it.

Uncle Li suddenly remembered: "According to what you say, if you make money on the street, it is considered infringement?"

"......" Shen Zhe was really speechless, this old man's energetic outrageousness.

Do you still want to go to the street to catch infringers?

"Grandpa Li, they don't infringe, let them go. ”

"Also, it's already miserable to fall on the street to tell stories, and if you are denounced again, it will be even more miserable......"

Uncle Li muttered and walked out.

Shen Zhe shook his head, stood at the door and watched Uncle Li go downstairs, and he was so entangled that he lost interest in code words.

It happened that Lin Yuhan opened the door of the Lin family and looked at him with a smile.

"Grandpa Li is so funny. ”

Shen Zhe turned around: "You've been eavesdropping?"

Lin Yuhan rolled his eyes and said: "What kind of eavesdropping, the door is not closed, I heard it when I was doing laundry." ”

"I'll check what you're washing. ”

"Go aside!" (To be continued.) )
