Chapter 452: Translation

readx;? Regarding Feng Xiaogang's proposal, Lin Zixuan was noncommittal, he was hesitating. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In China, as long as you reach a certain level, whether you are willing or unwilling, you must assume a certain social responsibility.

For example, when the leaders of the Writers' Association and the Federation of Literary and Art Circles called him, they hinted that he wanted to play a greater role in the literary world.

Mu Zhiyuan also has this meaning.

He encouraged Lin Zixuan to come out and start a company because he wanted to hone Lin Zixuan and return to work in the system in the future.

Now that the company is getting bigger and bigger, it is impossible for Lin Zixuan to let go so much, so it is also a good choice to take another path.

Units like the Writers' Association and the Federation of Literary and Art Circles are relatively relaxed, they are all cultural people, and they have to be face-saving.

In this era, at most, it is a stumbling block behind the back, and it will not come with real knives and guns, there is no need for that, and it is not a life-and-death feud.

If Lin Zixuan doesn't care too much about fame and fortune and doesn't get involved in those messy things, it's good to mess around in it.

Instead of letting others have the right to speak, it is better to participate in it yourself in order to speak for yourself.

What's more, with this identity, the status in society will naturally improve, and it will be much more convenient to do things.

Of course, it's not that you can get in if you want to, you have to have not only qualifications, but also connections.

Feng Xiaogang's agitation of Lin Zixuan was not untargeted, but that Lin Zixuan had such conditions.

Good Dream Company is currently the largest private film and television company in China, Lin Zixuan's influence in the circle is increasing, he is also a best-selling author, and has won foreign literary awards.

Coupled with Mu Zhiyuan's relationship in the cultural department, it is not a big problem to mix a small leader in the Federation of Literary and Art Circles.

This is because Lin Zixuan is still young, and he may be mixed into the top level of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles in twenty years, which is possible.

Feng Xiaogang is only a small leader in the Film Directors Guild and is moving towards the middle level.

In China, if you want to develop well, you have to keep mixing upwards.

This is also good for the development of Good Dream Company, not only to win awards, but in all aspects, only by mastering the rights, can you do what you want to do.

Lin Zixuan didn't want to talk about this, so he changed the topic.

"How is the preparation of the movie? This time, we want to give face to the director of the Korean factory and make the favor practical. Lin Zixuan asked.

"That's natural, give him all the face, when it's released, let's spend our wallets and raise the box office, no matter what, there must be 50 million, otherwise it won't look good." Feng Xiaogang teased.

Feng Xiaogang knew that the purpose of Haomeng's investment in filming "Life and Death Choice" was to help Han Sanping.

It is not so much about investing in movies, but about investing in Han Sanping, and using five million to ensure the stable development of Haomeng Company in the future, which is a good deal.

"50 million is enough, it's best to break 100 million. Lin Zixuan was not satisfied.

The main theme films in China basically have the support from above, and the chartering of state-owned enterprises is the main means to raise the box office.

The above document is issued to let all units learn the spirit conveyed in the movie, and the following units will charter the venue for employees to watch the movie.

It's just that there is often an embarrassing situation where the movie theater has issued tickets, but there is no audience to watch it.

"Too much, right? "Titanic" is not yet 200 million. Feng Xiaogang said suspiciously, "Speaking of which, it's better to make a main theme film, at least the box office is good, and I have to think about it in the future." ”

Feng Xiaogang's three Chinese New Year films have the highest box office of more than 30 million, which cannot be compared with the main theme blockbuster.

"Don't worry, we'll have a chance in the future. Lin Zixuan said.

"Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" was sold nationwide in mid-June, and with the boom of Lin Zixuan's award, the book sold well.

Readers and critics in the literary world generally gave high praise.

Some critics believe that this novel depicts life in tribulation with broad warmth, and expresses people's survival in the face of doom in the form of an intense story.

Moreover, since the novel and the script were published together, it attracted the attention of the film and television industry.

For this script co-written by Lin Zixuan and Jiang Wen, the film industry also believes that it is a successful adaptation, providing a model for screenwriters in the film industry to adapt.

There was a lot of applause, which was in stark contrast to the criticism of Lin Zixuan's previous novels.

On the one hand, this is one, and on the other hand, it is because of the improvement of Lin Zixuan's status.

Unless it is those who want to grandstand, no one will offend Lin Zixuan for no reason, they are all mixed in a circle, and they don't see anyone who looks up, and this bit of face still has to be given.

This is not a good sign.

A novel should be evaluated on the basis of the novel, not on the reputation and status of the writer.

But in China, this situation is not uncommon and has been there for a long time.

Perhaps only decades, or even hundreds of years later, can a relatively objective evaluation of a novel be made.

"Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" is not only a hot seller in China, but also has attracted the attention of foreign publishing houses.

Sinologists from some countries are preparing to translate the novel, and foreign literary magazines have introduced the novel.

The French magazine "Reading" believes that this is a perfect combination of simplicity and simplicity in appearance and profound meaning.

While translating "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood", those sinologists also noticed Lin Zixuan's other works.

They can't translate martial arts novels like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," but another children's book that sells well in China is very interesting.

At present, the sales of the three "Little Snow's Great Adventures" in China are estimated to be 7 million copies, and more than 15 million copies if pirated are included, which is definitely a bestseller.

The content of this story is not purely oriental, but more inclined to the Western story system, and the setting of the magical world is easily accepted by Western children, and it is not so difficult to translate.

So, can this children's story, which is a bestseller in the East, sell well in the West?

The story takes place in the United Kingdom, and a British sinologist translated one of the chapters of "Little Snow's Great Adventure" and sent it to a domestic publishing house, so that the publisher could evaluate whether there was a need for translation.

After all, if no publisher is willing to take over the translation, he will not get remuneration and royalties.

The publisher is called Bloomsbury, which is a medium-sized publisher in the UK and is known for publishing children's books.

When they heard that a children's story could sell millions, they took the translated story to middle and primary schools.

The publisher asked hundreds of primary and secondary school students to read it and gave feedback to find out if they were interested in the story.

Eventually, 70 percent of the students were curious about "Little Snow's Adventure" and wanted to continue reading the story, while the rest of the students were not very interested but not very annoying.

This result is enough for them to make a decision.

The publisher asked the sinologist to translate one volume first, and then decide whether to continue after publishing it and see how it sold out.

At the same time, Bloomsbury contacted Lin Zixuan to discuss the publication of the English version of Little Snow's Great Adventure. (To be continued.) )
