Chapter 926: The Cold Capital
The plane flew to the already icy and snowy capital in the late autumn heat of Yangcheng. After getting out of the plane, although there was still heating in the room, looking out of the snowy window, Yang Guo hurriedly put on a thick down jacket for Qiqi.
"You have to wear a scarf!" Zheng Yujie, who picked up the airport, took off her scarf and helped Qiqi wrap it around, she said, "As soon as the frost knife blows in the capital, without a scarf, Qiqi will catch a cold!" ”
It was the first time for Qiqi to come to the north in winter, and even Yang Guo had never come here in such a cold season before, so he and Fang Beibei didn't think it through.
"Kiki is a penguin, a big fat penguin!" Kiki was uncomfortable wrapped up, but when all her clothes and scarves were dressed, she looked at the mirror-like window next to her and jumped up happily.
I saw that she really walked like a penguin, swaying, and felt cute.
Yang Guo hugged Qiqi with a smile and said, "Okay, don't play, it's not early, let's go back to the hotel early, and we have to get up early tomorrow to gather!" ”
"You're going out in this?" Zheng Yujie grabbed Yang Guo's arm and pointed at him in surprise and asked.
Zheng Yujie didn't wear much today, although the coat is very long, which can cover the thighs, but it is very hot inside, with a bumpy turtleneck sweater on the upper body and light and long pantyhose on the bottom.
She is very confident in her figure and beauty, of course, this dress is more vividly reflected in her sexuality/sense of figure, in the airport under the entire cotton clothes wrapped environment, Zheng Yujie dressed beautiful and frozen..
But compared to Yang Guo, it's really a small thing! Yang Guo wore a short-sleeved shirt and a sleeveless jacket, and the pants were long pants, but they were also the casual trousers in summer, and the down jacket that Fang Beibei prepared for him was all in his hand and did not wear it.
"Don't worry, I'm not cold!" Yang Guo smiled slightly and said.
"Don't catch a cold then, you can't even go to Sweden!" Zheng Yujie looked at the down jacket in Yang Guo's hand and snorted and said. This down jacket is brightly colored, not Yang Guo's style of clothing, and she can guess who bought it for him!
"Ahem!" Yang Guo felt ashamed, his relationship with Fang Beibei had caused such a big storm on the Internet recently, he didn't believe that Zheng Yujie didn't see it, but it seemed that the other party didn't want to mention it, and Yang Guo wittily didn't mention it.
Yang Guo's guilt was not that he had done anything sorry for Zheng Yujie, but that he thought that Zheng Yujie was so affectionate to him, and he didn't accept it, and he started "sneaking" with Fang Beibei...
I feel ashamed when I think about it, but Yang Guo doesn't want to lift the lid on this matter. Because of this, maybe he and Zheng Yujie can't even be friends!
Zheng Yujie didn't accompany Yang Guo for long, she hurried back to the company and stood on the last shift!
Speaking of which, Yang Guo's last translation in Xinda has finally been published! "Life of Pi" was released last week, November 22, the day after Yang Guo defeated the Internet rumors with his eyebrows raised, and the book and movie were released simultaneously.
The success of Li An's movies is undoubted, and even the impact of Yang Guo's popularity some time ago is minimal. On the contrary, Yang Guo's translation has been promoted by the movie, and the sale is the rhythm of the fire!
It's only been a week, and there are already more than half a million sales!
However, this only represents Yang Guo's success, and in terms of interests, no matter how good it sells, it has nothing to do with Yang Guo...
When Dongxin Publishing House first delivered the manuscript, it had already bought out Yang Guo's translation at a price of 160,000 yuan. This price was obtained by Zheng Yujie for him, otherwise with Yang Guo's status at that time, at most it would be a medium remuneration of more than 100,000 yuan.
The money earned is divided between Dongxin and the author, and the hard-working translators can only sigh with joy.
Compared with the huge profit share that Yang Guo received from Xinyi Road Publishing House, Dongxin really gave too little and too little!
Of course, Teacher Mo Yan and Yang Guo are both phenomenal existences. If you change the translator or change the book of another author, they may not be able to make a lot of money.
However, as long as they can translate works that are liked by foreign readers, it is still possible for them to get hundreds of thousands of dollars for a book! And it's not a one-time deal, and it will continue to pay off for translators in the future.
"In the future, there will be more translators who will live a good life!" Yang Guo clenched his fists.
Yang Guo doesn't want to pull all translators into the banner of Xinyilu, he doesn't have this ambition, the reason why Yang Guo has worked so hard in exchange for Xinyilu's preferential treatment of translators is because he wants to use Xinyilu as a starting point to bring about the reform of the entire industry!
Xinyilu is a disruptor and is likely to cause a pinch attack on the entire publishing industry, but they are not afraid, because they are taking the road of self-publishing + network marketing instead of traditional publishing that few people have explored.
As long as other publishers can't accept the protests of their translators or even flee, they will be forced to make changes, whether the changes can reach the level of the new translation path, which will be good news for translators engaged in literary translation!
When Yang Guo persuaded Pang Yue at that time, he took a lot of effort, and even in the end, he took out a part (three-quarters) of his 20% shares to compensate the publishing house.
Pang Yue finally agreed to his proposal.
It can be said that if Yang Guo is black-hearted, he can earn more, but this is not conducive to the progress of the entire translation industry, nor is it conducive to the long-term development of the publishing house.
He didn't tell anyone about this now, except for Fang Beibei, but Fang Beibei didn't care either. He doesn't need the support and gratitude of others, Yang Guo only hopes that one day, he can see the light of literary translation bloom.
Yang Guo still remembers the news he watched with Secretary Chen Longjiang when he went home at the end of April: "Translators must have the courage to take on the heavy responsibility of promoting the excellent Chinese culture!" But Secretary Chen also reminded himself that he should aim for this.
Regardless of whether the state supports it or not, the growth and strength of the team of literary translators will have a positive impact on the dissemination of excellent Chinese culture.
Yang Guo hopes that one day, Chinese culture can also return to the top of the world, not only to be accepted by the world, but also to firmly occupy an important position!
Instead of watching movies from the United States, soap operas from the country of sticks, and cartoons from the country of mud bombardment, as is the case now. And the whole market, you can't see the existence of Chinese culture.
OK! Yang Guo firmly believes that this will not be a dream! Even if he is just a small member of this huge cause, just a small stepping stone, Yang Guo is willing to work hard and fight for it!
