"Teacher Xiqiu, this year is your harvest year." Shangguan Jin and the others were busy talking to various manufacturers about peripheral development, and Zhang Qiuxi also met with Jonathan again to talk about overseas publishing. In fact, most of the so-called talks are idle talk, and there is no need for any nonsense at all to sign a contract until now.

Zhang Qiuxi said: "Jonathan, in fact, you can say this to me once a year, but I want to ask why you suddenly think I have a bumper harvest this year." ”

Jonathan laughed and said, "That's right, you can make some achievements in different fields every year, and my feelings are a bit redundant." Animation, movies, I hear about you almost every day in the Celestial Empire, but what excites me the most is, of course, novels. ”

"It's understandable, but you're already enjoying the little days of your wife and children on the hot kang, if you weren't full of reluctance to the food of the Celestial Empire, I would have pulled you over once, and I really didn't want to go."

"There's no need to see outsiders, I like that. In fact, I'm glad that I know Chinese and can see your novel for the first time, which is much luckier than most Americans. Jonathan still said without a smile: "You may not understand the mood of American readers who know that the sequel is already being serialized, but they can't see it." ”

"Who told them not to learn Chinese, but I heard that our magazine has become a hot overseas shopping commodity, if they also know Chinese, they can buy magazines through the guò online platform, although the price is a little more expensive than the issue price."

"It's really just a little bit, and it's only a few dozen times over, and the currency unit has changed from a soft sister currency to a dollar."

Zhang Qiuxi tried to give Jonathan an idea: "Speaking of which, you should know a lot of people who can speak Chinese, right?" I think you can learn from the Chinese group to get an English group.,Buy the translation of our magazine and resell it in the United States at a high price.,You can definitely make a lot of money.,At least don't worry about not having private money.。 ”

Zhang Qiuxi feels that she is more and more able to grasp business opportunities, in fact, the phenomenon of overseas online shopping for "Soloists" does exist, but it is not common, her bad idea does have business opportunities, but Jonathan obviously doesn't like this money.

Jonathan said, "It's really worth considering, but that's not what we're going to talk about now, is it?" ”

"Uh, anything else to say? You continue. After the contract was signed, Zhang Qiuxi had already put it away, and the rest was idle talk, and it didn't seem to matter what he said.

"Teacher Xiqiu, those of you who speak Chinese as your mother tongue will never understand how difficult it is to learn Chinese. Chinese characters are beautiful, like beautiful pictures in our eyes, but the way they are written is completely unreasonable, and the words have nothing to do with pronunciation, and even looking up a dictionary is a rather difficult skill. ”

Zhang Qiuxi said: "Jonathan, aren't you already very slippery now?" Mandarin is better spoken than many Celestial Empire people. ”

"But I'm still very cautious in using idioms now, worried that I will make jokes again if I am not careful."

"So you've ever had this kind of trouble? It's not worth caring about at all, and so are we. ”

Jonathan touched the bridge of his high nose and said: "Wait, what I want to say is not this, every time I talk about Chinese, I will remember the hardships I suffered when I first learned Chinese, but this qiē is worth it, Chinese is really beautiful." ”

After complaining, Jonathan sighed again before he continued: "The Hunger Games still maintains a high level of attention in the United States, and the sales of books are still growing, which is why many readers can't wait, and even mail order your magazines in Chinese." ”

"It's also because of the novel's expression that I feel that this year is a bumper harvest year for you, Mr. Xiqiu. In addition to the sales exceeded the 12 million mark, it also unexpectedly occupied various lists. ”

Jonathan actually knows what Zhang Qiuxi said, because the domestic media has already reported it for the first time. One of Time Magazine's Top 10 Novels of the Year, Booklist Book Review Editor's Choice of the Year, No. 1 on Publishers Weekly's bestseller list, and School Library Journal's Book of the Year......

Basically, as long as there is a relevant selection, "The Hunger Games" won the award, and many magazines Zhang Qiuxi has never even heard of it, so he said: "After all, it is too far away from me, and it is just a simple selection, with neither bonuses nor trophies." ”

"But it's really an honor." Jonathan still emphasized, after all, Zhang Qiuxi was too heartless, and said: "If nothing else, this Spark will still have such results, and this will be a phenomenal series of works." ”

"It's almost going to be on the market anyway, and we'll know what the results will be soon." The first part has already sold so high, no matter how you say "Spark in the Plain", it won't be too bad, and no one will worry about this.

Jonathan nodded, and then said, "Teacher Xiqiu, when the third part is serialized, I still hope that you will continue to send a copy to my mailbox." Not only can I get a sneak peek, but the translation can be developed more quickly. ”

"The latter reason can actually be ignored, can I still refuse?" Zhang Qiuxi has been sending manuscripts to Jonathan by email, which is a gesture and does not affect anything, the same as letting the red beans see the nature of the book after writing it.

"But you'll have to wait this time, because I don't have any plans to write a third part yet."

As soon as Zhang Qiuxi's words came out, Jonathan's eyes widened and said, "Isn't it? Again. ”

"Your expression seems to be a little overdone." Zhang Qiu cherished his forehead, in fact, he had expected that it would be like this.

Jonathan said helplessly: "When all the readers thought you would pause, you went on to write the second part, and now the readers are looking forward to the third part, and you have made a mistake again, this is a change of law to tease the readers." ”

"Jonathan, you also use your idiom very well."

"Don't make a joke." Jonathan scratched his head and said, "Why do you want to suspend the serialization again all of a sudden?" As far as I know, your magazine is now a qiēshun lì, so there shouldn't be anything special. ”

"You're wrong, I did pause for something special, not to tease the reader." Zhang Qiuxi said leisurely: "This matter is a long story, let's make a long story short, it was a long, long time ago......"

Jonathan was about to go crazy and said, "Teacher Xiqiu, I don't know if you want to tease the reader, but it's obvious that you're molesting me right now." If you don't give me a reason to convince me, I'm going to be out with you. ”

Zhang Qiuxi shouted repeatedly: "Calm and calm, if this is heard by others, it will be difficult for the two of us to spread the scandal again." ”R1152
