Chapter 214 Publication
Of course, Zhou Nan can't remember all of them in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", those are just readings for entertainment and killing time, and he can still remember some storylines and basic structures at most.
It is also for this reason that what he wrote is definitely different from the original book.
Moreover, his main purpose is to add private goods, increase the promotion of traditional Chinese culture, and when the basic structure of the book is retained, some originally useless plots will also be deleted.
Moreover, since we want to promote Chinese culture, we also need to introduce many things clearly from beginning to end. For example, acupuncture, acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine, divination and so on.
There are also some places that Chinese people take for granted, but foreigners simply cannot understand.
For example, Huang Yaoshi broke a few disciples and expelled them from the school, which is very normal in the eyes of the Chinese. However, in order for foreigners to understand this practice, it is necessary to give a complete introduction to the ancient Chinese thought of heaven and earth.
Otherwise, foreigners will only think that what Master has done is wrong. And those apprentices were picked off and broke their hamstrings, and they were still loyal to their masters, thinking of returning to their masters, and those foreigners couldn't understand it.
It is a kind of subtle and imperceptible, and only when it is clearly stated in it, can foreigners understand the roots of traditional oriental culture. Oh, I see.
And the subtlety of this long-term culture is a kind of cultural export.
They accepted, and they accepted, and they accepted, television, movies, and then the whole of Oriental culture.
But when he really started writing, Zhou Nan found that aside from some direction issues worth arguing, Jin Yong is indeed a talented person, and his structure in the book The Legend of the Condor Heroes is very complete, and any plot echoes before and after, and it is very difficult to change.
Therefore, Zhou Nan simply followed his development line and began to create.
It's not difficult to write, the first chapter of 10,000 words, he wrote it in two days.
But when he translated it in German, it became more than 15,000 words. And in order to explain some of the words in between, he used 10,000 words to annotate.
Although the translation was difficult, Zhou Nan did not want to give up.
When the book was finished, he would also find a map of the territory of the Great Song Dynasty and mark each place. Let foreigners know when, where, and what kind of background this story takes place.
The Chinese version can be used as an adult fairy tale, but the version for foreigners is directly created as a children's fairy tale. Only in this way can more people accept the export of this culture.
Since April, Zhou Nan's Chinese creation has been going relatively smoothly, and when he writes smoothly, he can write five or six thousand words a day.
Since he still has a job, he has a lot of things to deal with every day, so on average, the speed of about three or four thousand words per day is almost three.
The book was completed on February 17 of the following year, the day before the sixth World Economic Forum.
Unlike Jin Yong's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Zhou Nan's version has 1.2 million Chinese words, and it expounds much more about many traditional Chinese cultures than originally did.
Nanhua Hu Xijiang also helped Zhou Nan collect a lot of information. Although they were a little unimpressed that Zhou Nan was not doing his job properly and came to write, they still provided a lot of academic support at the beginning.
Hu Xijiang also became the translator of the English version of the book, and when Zhou Nan's second volume was created, he also translated the first volume and began the translation of the middle volume.
From his disapproval at the beginning, to the end of the day to chase the telegram every day, Zhou Nan knew that he was also successful.
Hu Xijiang has studied both China and the West, and is not only a scholar of classical culture, but also has a profound study of Western culture. Twenty years ago, he almost won the Nobel Prize in Literature, not because of his lack of academic skills, but for political reasons.
He is already obsessed with this book, which shows that Zhou Nan writes well.
When the Spring Festival was approaching, the university was on vacation, and they even organized a charter plane to come to Zhounan to kill the local tyrants. But the first thing I did when I came here was to ask Zhou Nan for the manuscript behind.
Then, you can see a group of masters with an average age of more than 60 years, arguing over the order of reading.
And when they saw some poems written by Zhou Nan himself, when they couldn't see it, they would help Zhou Nan revise it.
Zhou Nan didn't remember Jin Yong's poems, almost all of the poems were created by himself, and he didn't dare to boast of his level even if he was qualified. As for them, they are all masters of Chinese studies, and with their polish, the level of this book has also improved linearly.
Their help also made Zhou Nan full of confidence in this book. When sending them back to Nanhua, he also asked Kelvin to bring the revised manuscript to Nanhua for printing and publishing.
At the same time, there are several different sets of boxing books and prescriptions, and these boxing books with images are also things that Zhou Nan attaches great importance to.
However, at present, like the Legend of the Condor Heroes, there is only a Chinese version. For other languages, it will take at least half a year to wait, not only for translation, but also for annotation.
As soon as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was published in Nanhua, it immediately set off a martial arts boom, and Luoyang paper was expensive for a while.
The hot sale of this film has not only set off a boom in the Chinese circle, but even foreigners are extremely curious.
For more than a year, in addition to being busy with politics, Zhou Nan has been concentrating on writing books.
Everyone thought that he was going to write another tome, but they didn't expect that after waiting for more than a year, he would actually write one!
It's still a "martial arts"!
What is Martial Arts? This is the hottest topic in the foreign press in recent times.
In May '51, Zhou Nan attended the Batumi organization meeting in Paris, where he again refused to join the Paris Coordinating Committee on behalf of Switzerland and criticized the technical blockade of Batumi.
Because of his influence, the Netherlands, England and other countries joined this association. However, the unification of countries such as the Far East and the Soviet Union did not treat their homeland differently as the most special country and imposed the most severe blockade as in another life.
As a non-aligned country, Switzerland does not even join the United Nations, let alone this extremist organization.
Therefore, Zhou Nan's refusal to join Batumi is not news, it is big news that he really wants to join.
People are more concerned about the question of what martial arts he wrote about, what exactly is martial arts?
In front of reporters all over the world, Zhou Nan promoted Hughes as a signboard. "The so-called martial arts is a way of cultivating the body, and the so-called chivalry is a kind of humanitarian spirit, and the two are linked together, which is a kind of adult fairy tale that relies on personal ability to show heroism. In England, there's Robin Hood, and in North America, there's fictional characters like Zorro, and what I'm writing is fictional stories that show such characters. ”
"So 'Wu'...... Does it really exist? ”
"You can ask Howard Hughes this question, he is now a real-life version of Superman because he practiced the martial arts I taught him."
People all over the world are boiling, and Hughes is the biggest strange person in the real world today.
He did not hide his physical condition, and his physical examination report would be published in the media every once in a while, and people could see with their own eyes that he was almost 50 years old, and he was as strong as 25 years old.
Although he lost a few more games after defeating Joe Louis, the victories were against him by people who were almost twenty years younger than him.
In addition to boxing, he is now obsessed with marathons and rock climbing, and has won multiple championships.
Even he himself couldn't tell the condition of his body clearly, and pushed everything onto Zhou Nan.
This is the first time that Zhou Nan has publicly announced that all this is because of the role of "Wu".
There is no country, any nation, no one who does not care about their physical health.
When they knew that there was a training method that would rejuvenate them, they all went crazy.
And Zhou Nan also timely asked Nanhua's publishing house to launch a picture version of Wufowl Opera and Taijiquan, as well as Laoshan's Longhua Boxing, Xuangong Boxing and other practice methods.
Moreover, the qi cultivation and longevity skills he practiced were not hidden, and several breathing methods were clearly listed by Zhou Nanqing.
People who have been trained in Chinese culture will not feel very unfamiliar with many of the exercises in it, and it is a persistent problem to strengthen the body.
But not with those foreigners, they can't accept the existence of meridians at all, because in terms of anatomy, the existence of meridians cannot be proven at all.
Even if acupuncture heals their injuries, even if they can feel numbness in their elbows, most of them still believe what they can see with their eyes.
At the same time, Zhou Nan also listed several Chinese medicine prescriptions on the published boxing book, and each different boxing method requires different Chinese medicine to be taken internally and externally to practice.
If they don't believe it, Zhou Nan doesn't care, but if someone believes it and practices the effect, then they will naturally accept the meridian theory, and Chinese medicine is also a scientific theory.
These are all the dissemination of Chinese culture.
As soon as this pamphlet on martial arts training was published, it immediately became the best-selling book in the world. Because the boxing spectrum is not thick and the price is not expensive, almost everyone will buy a complete set and go back to study and practice.
After Zhou Nan adjusted the Five Fowl Opera slightly, some of the complex movements in it were removed, and it also became a compulsory course for all Nanhua students.
In the winter of '51, the German and English versions of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and the French version were released at the same time, which also caused quite a stir in the Western world.
There were originally many bizarre martial arts in it, but they were not representative, and almost all of them were deleted in the foreign language version.
Like what kind of golden dragon whip method, in the hearts of foreigners, the dragon is a big lizard, which is originally a powerful martial art in the hearts of the Chinese people, even if it is translated into the past, foreigners will only think of the destructive power of a big lizard.
Zhou Nan was originally going to lose money to promote the foreign language version of this book, because in this book, he describes too much of the essence of traditional Chinese culture.
As long as you read this book, you will naturally be interested in some of the descriptions in it.
But I didn't expect that after the proof of Hughes's example, and in the summer, a series of martial arts boxing books were launched, and foreigners were also fascinated by this one.
So, instead of losing money, the book made a lot of money.
However, no matter how much he earns, he can't compare to the amount that Ferrari motorcycles make for Zhou Nan.
By November '51, the second anniversary of the Roman holiday, Ferrari motorcycles had sold 2.7 million units, and now another 100,000 are sold every month.
This aspect alone brought Zhou Nan more than $100 million in profits.
The Bumblebee motorcycle that appeared in the movie in another life was not advanced compared to other models, and it sold two million units.
Zhou Nan is now taking out the models of the new century, and it is not surprising that there are such sales.
However, this is a huge brainstorming for businesses all over the world.
Relying on the release of a movie, it directly generates more than half a billion dollars in sales. How is it not surprising that the profit generated by a motorcycle is even catching up with the sales profit of today's best-selling Beetle car!
Of course, the price of a Ferrari motorcycle is only two hundred dollars, but the price of the Beetle is one thousand five hundred dollars, and the production and sales volume are about the same, so the profit is far from comparable.
However, the value created by this motorcycle is far more than 90 percent of the car's sales and profits.
Ferrari has thus become a miracle in the history of Italian industry, and it is unsurprising that a township company, only four years old, can surpass the export volume of the old car company Fiat.
And because of the best-selling Ferrari motorcycles, Ferrari sports cars have won many championships in the field, and Ferrari sports cars have also become the king of sports cars.
In the winter of May Day, Zhou Nan also officially joined the Inter Milan team in Milan.
And, like Arsenal, in the forest near Lake Como, north of Milan, a first-class training base of 300 acres has been created for Inter Milan.
It's a pity that Italy's stadiums are nationalized and not allowed to be built privately, otherwise, Zhou Nan would like to build a special stadium for Inter Milan, instead of sharing a stadium with AC Milan.
In the new century, Italian football began to decline, and one of the main reasons was that the stadium did not belong to the team.
But that's a few decades later, and at least until the 21st century, the Italian football league is the number one in the world.
In this era, football associations at all levels are not opposed to one person holding several teams, and even welcomes a wealthy man like Zhou Nan to invest in the team.
Because there is money to invest, I am not afraid that these teams will go bankrupt because of too little income.
On the occasion of the Spring Festival, Zhou Nan ushered in a group of representatives from Nanhua, and these people have a special identity, that is, warriors.
Zhou Nan's martial arts creation can be said to have poked their G-spot all at once. And the purpose of them coming to see Zhou Nan was not to complain that he was selling martial arts secrets publicly, but to have a discussion with Zhou Nan.
For a week in a row, Zhou Nan not only talked to them, but also did it himself.
To their surprise, Zhou Nan really practiced internal strength, which was a realm they dreamed of.
Outside the muscles, bones and skin, they surpassed Zhou Nan in polishing their bodies, skills, and practical experience. But there is almost no one who can really surpass Zhou Nan and defeat Zhou Nan.
Zhou Nan knew that he was taking advantage of the experience of another life, and without the experience of that life, he was afraid that he would not break through to this level until he was old.
It's just Hughes that freak, forget it...... In order to avoid jealousy, he was not mentioned.
When they left, Zhou Nan also agreed to their respective requests, that is, when they created in the future, they could write all their kung fu into it, which was also their main purpose.
Before the Spring Festival of 52 was over, Zhou Nan suddenly received a call from the United Kingdom, and George was no longer good.
(These two chapters briefly pass more than two years in a flash, and then enter a turning point in the book about changes in the coming decades.) )
