Chapter 664: The First Person in the Literary World?!
At the beginning, Li Kuo did not get any awards in the three major literary awards. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After that, there was the tearing war, and Li Kuo announced that he would no longer participate in the three major literary awards......
This incident also blocked Li Kuo's initial plan.
At first, he wanted to get these awards step by step, and then steadily become the first person in the Chinese literary world, but what happened made all this shattered.
So Li Kuo began to plan to take another path, which is actually the current road.
He knew about the cultural exchange between China and the United States before, and this grand event held once every three years, basically every time China was beaten in all aspects, especially in novels, it was even more fruitless.
So Li Kuo chose this place as a breakthrough.
He devoted himself to preparing for two years, and used these two years to bring his English to a very high level, and also wrote several English novels.
Now, Li Kuo uses them one by one......
And these two novels have reached a particularly high level all at once.
So, in the past few days, the discussion, which has been put on hold for a long time, has started again in Chinese mainland.
"Now that the old tune is repeated, Li Kuo is the top three in the Chinese literary world, or even the first place, there is no suspense, right?"
"The first one is still not easy to say, but in the top three, I don't think there is anything wrong with it! Let's just say that those who are not convinced, let him propose a person who can promote my country's prestige abroad and write novels at the level of "The Fall of the Giant" and "The Lord of the Rings", then I will lose! Anyway, I don't think I can find this kind of person, and there is only one demon like Li Kuo. ”
"yes, that's what I think. Li Kuo's "The Fall of the Giant" and "The Lord of the Rings" were replaced by other Chinese writers, and they couldn't be written even if they were killed......"
There are more and more similar claims, and the noise is in the dust.
Someone also came out to sum it up.
In fact, the previous novels have proved Li Kuo's ability enough to make him a god in the Chinese literary world, but there are still many people who question it, but as long as Li Kuo's achievements in the foreign literary world are said, then others can't compare. Therefore, Li Kuo, the top three, must be well deserved, and even, I personally think that he is already the first level! Because I can't find a better writer than Li Kuo. ”
However, there are still people who are singing the opposite: "Li Kuo is indeed very strong, and now he is also very good at several novels abroad, but I want to say that this is a foreign novel after all, can it be used as an argument that Li Kuo is the first person in the Chinese literary world?" ”
"I think so." Someone immediately retorted: "Because these novels of Li Kuo appeared in the cultural exchanges between China and the United States, this is a confrontation, and Li Kuo stood up, and these novels also belong to them, so they must be counted in Li Kuo's own achievements......"
…… The discussion is still ongoing, and now Li Kuo's entry into the top three in the literary world is recognized by everyone, and now everyone is only arguing about whether Li Kuo is the first person.
In the process of their argument, Li Kuo was really full of guests on the American side.
Too many people came to visit Li Kuo and discuss some things with him, and Li Kuo also received him selectively.
Because of these things, Li Kuo has become a celebrity in the United States, so Li Kuo also had to hire a bodyguard for himself, which was hired through the Chinese Embassy......
In the past few days, Li Kuo has received more publishing houses in the United States.
After "The Lord of the Rings" became popular and sales were booming, many publishing houses took the old path and began to come up again to buy the copyright of Li Kuo's new book.
At the same time, these people have also been pleading on Li Kuo, hoping to get the copyrights of Li Kuo's previous novels "The Fall of the Giant" and "The Lord of the Rings", and they are willing to buy them at a high price.
Li Kuo is also pondering this copyright issue, but he still won't choose to sell it for the time being.
Today, another publisher has arrived, and they have made a very constructive, attractive proposal: they want to buy the rights to Li Kuo's novels in China!
The copyright of these novels includes those martial arts novels, and even those traditional novels that belong to China!
This made Li Kuo a little surprised, after all, he had already experienced the extreme realism of these publishing houses in the United States before, this is definitely a group of unprofitable guys, they should be able to see that their traditional novels are not suitable for sale in European and American countries? !
However, Li Kuo also understood the intentions of these people through chatting with them later-the only thing they really wanted to translate was "The Metamorphosis", and the others were just add-ons, just talking.
And their real purpose is not "Metamorphosis", but they hope to buy the copyright of Li Kuo's new novel, and if they have a new book in the future, they will sign a specific contract with Li Kuo as soon as possible.
"There are some contracts that don't need to be ......," Li Kuo said sarcastically, "I don't want to regret it when you hear that I am going to write a new genre......
This embarrassed the people at the publishing house, after all, they had also rejected Li Kuo's "Warcraft" before.
However, they reacted quickly and quickly said, "God forgives people who make mistakes once, and such people do not make mistakes a second time......"
Li Kuo smiled.
…… Not only this publishing house, but also many publishing houses have also come to the door, and according to the latest news that Li Kuo has gotten, he is also very helpless -- the anti-self-funded publishing alliance has reappeared, and many publishers in the United States have once again united to give Li Kuo such a ban, anyway, they have already colluded internally, that is, they are not allowed to let Li Kuo publish books at his own expense, and can only choose the book publishing contract provided by them.
Li Kuo was also speechless to these people, but after thinking about it carefully, he accepted this condition, because the type of his new book obviously will not be as popular as the previous two, of course, compared to the previous two, his new book, in terms of ideological height, is definitely not the first two books that can be compared.
Therefore, Li Kuo's desire to publish the book at his own expense is not so strong, and it would be good if there was a publishing house.
Li Kuo and Zou Pinqing began a more in-depth process of understanding and communicating with the publishing house...... It's a boring and complicated job, but it has to be done.
However, sometimes, people sit in trouble at home from the sky, and during this time, Li Kuo and Zou Pinqing were both busy looking for a new publishing house, but inadvertently caused a lawsuit by the Americans when Li Kuo himself did not notice......
