Chapter 142: Young Pi's Fantasy Drifting?
After Duan Xueqing went back, she really began to ask about the rent of the apartment here.
Yang Guo's apartment here is still very tight, and if someone moves out now, if he can, he will quickly settle down. Duan Xueqing was busy in the unit before the Spring Festival, and she didn't have time to adapt to many changes before moving over, which was not realistic, but she wanted to occupy the pit first, otherwise there would be no pit in the back!
Duan Xueqing signed a one-year contract with the old house, and now it is still a long time before the contract expires! But she doesn't care about the deposit of thousands of yuan, and she doesn't care about the rent that she rents on the side of the apartment but doesn't stop wasting for the time being, who calls Duan Xueqing still a little rich woman!
She still has a "huge amount of money" in her hands. After Duan Xueqing's mother went back last time, she couldn't help but come over again, and Duan's mother, who felt sorry for her daughter, gave her daughter two million pocket money, asking her to rent a better house again, and buy a car and clothes for herself.
Duan's mother thinks that Duan Xueqing, as a little princess of a wealthy family, doesn't squander and waste, how can she be so thrifty and so strict with herself? In this way, if the parents and villagers in their hometown know, they may be poked in the backbone and said that the Duan family values sons over daughters and does not treat their daughters as human beings!
Yang Guo didn't know about the little Jiujiu hidden in Duan Xueqing's heart, he still thought that what Duan Xueqing said was said casually, how long did Duan Xueqing graduate? Even if you are a civil servant, you want to live in a high-end apartment for thousands of dollars a month in less than half a year, that's a dream, right? She is not a second-generation official like Song Zhiwen, and her family supports her with money.
He didn't know that Duan Xueqing was indeed not the second generation of officials, but he was a rich second generation who was richer than the second generation of officials!
Song Zhiwen only has a little money, Duan Xueqing is a real sister, and the pocket money her family gives her every year is enough to buy a suite in Yangcheng!
Anyway, Yang Guo didn't pay much attention to the progress of this matter, he was actually very busy, although it was a freelancer, but there were a lot of miscellaneous things. No, just after taking Qiqi to the hospital for an examination, Zheng Yujie's phone called.
"Little fruit~" As soon as the mobile phone was put to her ear, Zheng Yujie's long and lingering coquettish voice came out of the phone speaker, "Sister is busy these days, if I don't call you, won't you call my sister?" My sister is so sad! โ
After returning from the capital, Zheng Yujie and Yang Guo exchanged more phone calls. She talked to Yang Guo on the phone almost every day or two, the reason was to keep in close contact with Yang Guo, a powerful translator, and as for the content of the call, it was never on this topic.
Zheng Yujie will tell Yang Guo all the interesting things she has encountered in the past few days, life, work, and even what she has seen on the news have become the talk between her and Yang Guo.
Zheng Yujie's ability to chat is much stronger than Duan Xueqing, Duan Xueqing is very cold, she doesn't like to chat for a long time, and even uses tone words such as uh-huh, oh-oh instead of answers with actual content, so Yang Guo and her sometimes chatted and chatted, and it became a big star. Duan Xueqing still likes this feeling, but Yang Guo doesn't care.
Zheng Yujie is different, this Beijing girl also has the characteristics of being very capable of talking about the people of Beijing, chatting endlessly, but she will pay attention to other people's feelings, so Yang Guo talked to her on the phone for almost an hour, and she didn't feel impatient at all.
The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear. Yang Guo didn't have any special feelings, so he treated Zheng Yujie like a friend. But if there is a third person who is listening, he will sigh that the relationship between the two of them is wonderful, and that they are further than friends, and that the bad lovers are far away...... Maybe Zheng Yujie is not so active, they may not even be able to take this step.
However, now Zheng Yujie's delicate tone really made Yang Guo goosebumps, and in Yang Guo's impression, she has always been a short-haired capable and straightforward queen. Now it seems that this queen is still a queen of variety!
"Please speak humanly, Miss Zheng Yujie!" After the two got acquainted, Yang Guo talked to her quite casually.
"Humph!" Zheng Yujie lazily sprayed a nasal voice to express her dissatisfaction, and her voice was so lazy that Yang Guo could imagine her curled up in the warm quilt and pouted.
"I need you to help me come up with ideas." Zheng Yujie changed back to her normal tone.
Yang Guo asked strangely, "What's your idea?" โ
His mind turned, and then he said, "Is it the book introduction report you said a few days ago?" โ
Zheng Yujie told him that at the end of the year, Dongxin Publishing House will not only make an annual summary, take stock of the publishing house's publishing income in the past year, but also start preparing for next year's publishing plan. For Dongxin, the introduction of foreign language books is the majority, and the introduction report at the end of the year is also very important, which is related to the income of the coming year.
Although it is only a plan, and the right to make a decision is still in the hands of the editor-in-chief and the president, every deputy editor-in-chief needs to discuss a series of books with his subordinates, and Zheng Yujie, the new deputy editor-in-chief, is no exception.
"Yes! Engaging in this plan is about to make the old lady crazy! Zheng Yujie said helplessly, she didn't pretend to be like she did in front of Yang Guo, Yang Guo didn't care, she was more willing to be herself.
"Are you asking me to recommend a few books to you?" Yang Guo said with a headache, "I don't understand the operation of the publishing house, and the advice I give is not as good as your colleagues!" โ
"Who said I want you to recommend it, my plan is almost finished." Zheng Yujie said, "Now there is a book that can be used as a main book!" I also have thoughts about this, but I'm worried that this book won't sell well. I just want you to help with the counseling. โ
"What book?" Yang Guo asked curiously.
"The Fantasy Drifting of Teenage Pi." Zheng Yujie said.
"It turned out to be this book." Yang Guo suddenly realized.
"Have you seen it?" Zheng Yujie asked strangely.
Yang Guo smiled: "I haven't seen it, but I've heard of it." โ
Of course, I have heard that although Yang Guo has not read every foreign language book, in order to understand the current situation of foreign books and some classic works, he has read a lot of reports in the publishing industry. With his memory, he can certainly remember this foreign language book that has appeared repeatedly in many media.
"** years ago, this book was very popular abroad." Yang Guo explained. The book has won a number of prestigious awards, including the 2002 Booker Prize in England, Amazon.com's 2002 Book of the Year, Big Apple's Outstanding Book of the Year, Publishers Weekly's Book of the Year, Rocky Times' Best Novel of the Year, and the 2004 Deutsche Book Award.
"That's not right!" Yang Guo asked suspiciously, "How can a book that has been famous for so long not be published by a publishing house in China?" โ
Zheng Yujie said with a wry smile: "Yes, Yilin Publishing House has introduced this book before, but it has not sold well, the results are not satisfactory, and it has only been published in one edition so far. โ
"It's possible." Yang Guo analyzed Zheng Yujie, "Not every book is suitable for the taste of our people, this book seems to be a bit absurd fantasy story, which may not be acceptable to domestic readers." โ
"Well, that's true." Zheng Yujie said, "The main reason for choosing this book is that a few days ago, I got a message through a private channel. โ
She paused for a moment and asked, "Do you know Li An who filmed "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"? โ
"Of course I know," Yang Guo smiled, "How could I not know?" The best director in China, he won the Oscar for Best Director in "Brokeback Mountain" a few years ago! โ
"He's preparing to make a film adaptation of the book!" Zheng Yujie threw out a big revelation, "Don't spread it!" It's still being kept secret! โ
"Li An wants to shoot the fantasy drifting of the young Pi?" Yang Guo said in surprise, "Then this book is different!" โ
"Yes, no matter what the previous sales of this book were, Li An made this movie and it was able to increase its sales." Zheng Yujie said, "However, just borrowing Li An's east wind, then it can't become our flagship book, and besides, there is no way for me to convince the editor-in-chief to trade the publishing rights of the book back." โ
"You want to ask my opinion?" Yang Guo asked.
"Yes!" Zheng Yujie was in the house in the capital, lying on the big bed, crossed her legs, and shook and said, "I sent you a copy of the original book and the book published by Yilin, you can take a look, if you come to translate, can you turn this book so that everyone wants to read it, everyone wants to buy it!" โ
"There are so many publishers and translators in Beijing, why do you think of coming all the way to me to give you ideas?" Yang Guo asked with a smile.
"Because you're handsome!" Zheng Yujie said with a big grin.
"Huh?"
"Okay, I'm not kidding you!" Zheng Yujie said seriously, "I haven't told anyone else about this matter, so many people, but you are the one I trust the most, so I'm looking for you!" How? Still not willing to help? โ
The most trusted person......
Yang Guo was inexplicably moved, stunned for a moment, and smiled softly: "Thank you Sister Yujie for being so important, of course I am willing to help!" Don't worry, I'll definitely give you a good check! โ
"You don't have to put too much pressure on yourself." Zheng Yujie said.
"It's not that I have to choose "The Fantasy Drifting of Young Pi" as my title book, but it's a rare opportunity to catch up with Li An's movie that also makes this book." Zheng Yujie said, "If we can sell this book that was beaten into the cold palace and become a bestseller again, it will be a good result for us." โ
"It's just that if this book really can't be saved, and you judge that it's not our countryman's dish, then it doesn't matter, I can continue to look for it." Zheng Yujie smiled, "What a big deal!" Right? She also playfully used the classic lines spoken at the Little Shenyang Spring Festival Gala two years ago.
Yang Guo was so amused by her imitation of this thick Northeast accent that she couldn't fit her mouth to laugh, and it took a long time before she stopped and said, "Okay, I'll help you take a look." โ
"You also pay attention to your body, don't work too hard!" Before hanging up the phone, Yang Guo finally told Zheng Yujie.
There was an aftersound of "beep" on the phone, Zheng Yujie covered the mobile phone that had not been pressed off in front of her chest and did not put it down for a long time.
