"#The Chinese version of "Seven Sins" is released today, and the writer 'translates' it by himself#"

Today, the Seven Sins, which won the White Flag National Literary Award and won the Booker Award for Best Feature in Great Britain, is available in multiple languages.

Including the Chinese version, it is reported that the Chinese version of "Seven Sins" was translated and written by the original author "ABC" himself, which should be the language version most suitable for the willingness of partners.

At present, online channels such as Jingpintao, as well as offline channels of various bookstores, are available. ”

Here are some of today's hot searches on social platforms.

Under the hot search news, there are also some comments.

“？？？ Is it in stock, why didn't I see it? Why is it that when I saw the news, the store in Beijing Pintao was already sold out? ”

“…… When the author received the award, he said that it would be published in other languages, and the publisher has been promoting it...... I bought it this morning. ”

"Do you want it, "Seven Sins" Chinese hardcover edition, one hundred and twenty-one, no bargaining......"

"Scalpers! Death to the master! ”

"The English version I bought before still looks a little difficult, and it just so happens that this wave bought another Chinese version, waiting for the arrival, looking forward to the Chinese version written by the author himself."

'it?' ABC' is our national writer? ”

“？？？ Upstairs, did you just get online? ”

"Wo groove, the bookstore bought it, I have read it, I have read the English version and now the Chinese version! The translation is awesome! But...... Is this a translation? ”

According to reliable sources, "ABC" is supposed to be a man. ”

“……”

"Can the next news be sent early, how can I compare with this group of animals...... By the way, what's the matter with this Bert Press, looking down on the purchasing power of the masters? Just shop this little bit of goods? ”

"Isn't this serious, really so good-looking?"

"I haven't seen it upstairs...... Hehe, come over and I'll recommend you ......"

“？？？”

"It's a work with a depressing story, but it's definitely worth watching, it's a good work, and it tells a lot of content."

The comments at the bottom are also lively, all of which are discussions between readers who have read "The Seven Sins" and people who know "The Seven Sins" from different sources.

……

"Editor-in-chief Carroll, many channels have sent replenishment orders again, about the other language versions of "Seven Sins" that were only released today, I look at the announcement they released, it should be that the previous stock is basically sold out."

"It seems that the sales of our "Seven Sins" in other languages are not bad, and the early publicity has played a role."

"These distributors are underestimating the results of such a great work."

Carol said with a smile, slightly fanatical, like the most faithful believer in the work "Seven Sins",

"Send all the inventory we printed before, and at the same time notify the printing house to speed up the printing. If they don't have time, contact a reliable printing shop. ”

Out of trust in "Seven Sins", and the fact that the sales of the English version of "Seven Sins" were still skyrocketing, Carol added more confidence,

Carol stocked up on the release of Seven Sins in other languages.

The total number of editions in each language is one million, and there are an average of more than 100,000 or 200,000 copies per language version.

This undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on the publisher's funds, but Carroll still sat down feverishly on the decision,

Anyway, the publishing house only needs to publish and sell the book "Seven Sins" in large quantities now, and it is better to spend all the funds on the book "Seven Sins".

Quite a bit of a gambler.

But Carol has enough faith in "The Seven Sins",

Awards, quality, word-of-mouth, channels, publicity.

With all of these in mind, sales of the Seven Sins in other languages will only explode sooner than the previous English version.

And now,

Didn't he use all the preparations?

It can replenish the channel faster and sell more copies of "Seven Sins" in this wave of hot selling trend

"Okay, Editor-in-Chief Carroll, I'll supervise the printing press."

Lina was also a little excited,

As editor of Bert Press, she has been able to have a hunch that

At the end of the month or quarter, she will receive a generous bonus.

"Free for the evening, Linna?"

Carol, who was still excited just now, turned her head again at this time and asked Lina with a smile.

"Of course."

"Does Mr. Carroll want to invite me to dinner?"

"Of course."

Watching Lina leave,

Carol had a smile on her face again,

But it's not time to get off work yet.

Carol turned her head to the computer screen, and clicked on the chat box for the only contact on Penguin Chat.

He's got to find "ABC",

Tell me the good news that the author's other language versions are selling well,

By the way, mention something else.

"Carol: Mr. A, today the Chinese version of "Seven Sins" has been released, and the stock of "Seven Sins" in many channels has been sold out, and a replenishment order has been sent.

Carol: The Seven Sins sold very well in all languages. However, the specific statistics will have to wait until tomorrow.

Humble and Extraordinary: Thank you, Mr. Carroll. ”

Magic City,

In the study, Ji Zhuo was still sitting in front of the computer,

The sunlight that came in from the window gradually moved from the ground to the wall.

It gradually became the afterglow of the setting sun on the wall,

At this time, the afterglow has also dispersed, and at night, the lights of the people in the community are mixed with some through the window.

Sitting in the study code word from noon, it is most of the day,

Ji Zhuo wrote the beginning of the first chapter of the new book "Imperial Epic",

It's about 10,000 words.

At this moment, just stopped the action of the codeword, and the codeword software was not closed.

My wrist was still a little pantothenic, and I touched the mobile phone next to me and looked at it.

I saw the message from Carol.

The Seven Sins is available in other languages today?

It seems to be today,

Ji Zhuo glanced at the date in the lower right corner of the computer, his mind was full of new books in the past two days, and Ji Zhuo didn't pay much attention to this.

"Carol: Mr. A is gracious. You don't need to thank anyone, this is the result of your great work. ”

Carol still speaks in the same way, like a fanatic.

"Clumsy and Extraordinary: ...... Is there anything else, Carroll Editor-in-Chief?

Carol: There's not much to do, it's just that other language versions aren't on sale, and I want to ask for more Mr. A's autographed book to do activities and give feedback to readers.

Carol: Readers from many countries are loyal readers, Mr. A, who love your work, who regard your work as the best classic, and who want your autograph. ”

With this said, Ji Zhuo had nothing to say,

My wrist is a little sore when I think about it, but what can I do?

You can't choose one over the other, and it's impossible for readers in other languages not to sign books.

"Clumsy and Extraordinary: ...... How much?

Carol: There are probably more readers in other languages than there are in English now, could it be a little bit more than before?

Carol: What do you think of 5,000 copies?

Clumsy and Extraordinary: ......

Clumsy and extraordinary: six thousand. ”

When this news was sent, Ji Zhuo himself was numb,

Now he's learned to add weight to himself.

But 5,000 copies have been signed, and it's not too much of this 1,000 copies.

Ji Zhuo added again,

"Clumsy and extraordinary: send more Chinese versions over.

Carol: The 3,000 copies in other languages, the 3,000 Chinese versions?

Clumsy and extraordinary: Okay, let's send it in batches...... I don't have that much space to put ...... here."

Ji Zhuo replied to the news a little numbly, thinking about signing 6,000 books and having a headache,

But when I thought about it, I suddenly remembered something.

Do I sign the Chinese version of "The Seven Sins" in Chinese or English,

Although the name 'ABC' doesn't need to be considered,

But what about the philosophical quote that I gave along?

If I use Chinese, it's not exposed,

I don't believe that none of these readers overlap with my old readers.

Two books signed and a pair of notes, what if I recognize them......

But if I don't write Chinese, is it appropriate for me to sign Chinese books in English?

Is it too late for me to start practicing calligraphy with left and right?

What the hell am I ...... Or reduce the Chinese version of "Seven Sins" sent over,

Or a thousand? Or maybe five hundred...... A hundred lines?

It's not that I don't consider signing books for domestic readers,

It's really me...... Think about it, if the number of signed books is smaller, it will not retain its value.

……

In the end, Ji Zhuo did not talk to Carol about changing the number of the Chinese version of "Seven Sins".

I just feel that the whole person is a little numb, from the heel numbness to the back of the head,

If he doesn't sign with his left hand and doesn't want to expose his notes, he can only hold a pen and write in upright italics stroke by stroke.

This way it can be distinguished from the previous signatures given to other books, and it is not almost impossible to recognize the notes.

However, thinking that it would take a lot of effort to sign the signature, Ji Zhuo felt that his hands hurt, his arms hurt, and his whole body hurt.

I'm a evildoer!

"Carol: Okay. Mr. A, Mr. A really thinks about the readers of his own country.

Clumsy and Extraordinary: ......"

Carol was also a little surprised to see that 'ABC' was willing to sign a thousand more copies,

Seeing that he wanted to sign more for Chinese readers, Carol suddenly realized.

By the way, in fact, he thought about signing a 3,000 book this time, but he was asking for a lot of money and paying back the money on the ground.

However, because he wanted to sign more for Chinese readers, the author talked about the price here, but he increased his own price by 1,000 copies.

And Ji Zhuo,

Looking at Carol praising him, he was a little silent.

Then just a long sigh.

"Hey......"

"Clumsy and extraordinary: Mr. Carroll, do you have anything else to do?

Carol: No. By the way, does Mr. A have any new creations recently? ”

Thinking that it has been two or three months since the release of "Seven Sins", Carol asked casually.

This question made the expression on Ji Zhuo's face a little strange,

Ji Zhuo silently turned his gaze and glanced at the beginning of the "Imperial Epic" written today on the computer screen that had not yet been turned off,

Such a coincidence?

Ann monitored?

took the phone and flipped up the previous chat history with Carol,

Oh...... Every day or two, I ask casually,

That's fine.

"Clumsy and extraordinary: it is true that there is a new book being written, and it is uncertain whether it is a good work or not.

Carol: Mr. A's work is naturally a good work, and I don't think anyone would think that Mr. ABC', the winner of the Booker Prize in Great Britain, would be a very bad book.

Carol: Mr. A, what is the genre of your new book? Can you give me a sneak peek? As a loyal reader, I am also looking forward to your new book, Mr. A. ”

Ji Zhuo saw that after he replied to a message,

Carol's messages were sent one by one, and Carol's whole excitement could be felt through the screen.

Carol was really excited at this moment,

It was originally a casual question, just like usual,

I didn't expect there to be a surprise, and sure enough, I still care a lot about the creation of these writers.

If the next new book of "ABC" is not published by Bert Press, then Bert Press will not lose a lot.

Carroll was excited, not just as editor-in-chief of Burt Publishing, but also as a loyal reader of ABC.

Just like those readers who first came into contact with ABC's "Seven Sins" and looked forward to the new book "ABC" on the official website forum of the publishing house all day long,

If they knew, it would be a day of revelry.

And even if the story of "Seven Sins" is so depressing, Carol has read the whole book several times, which is enough to show his love for "Seven Sins",

And how much he likes "The Seven Sins", how much he is looking forward to the new book of "ABC".

"Clumsy and extraordinary: I have just started writing, and I haven't had much content yet, mainly writing the story of two empires entangled."

Clumsy and extraordinary: It may take a while to send it to you.

carol said: Cool! An epic of two empires! It's an exciting story to think about! ”

Carol was even more excited, even after listening to Ji Zhuo's short description, and then thinking of the writer's exquisite writing and wonderful plot arrangement,

can sketch a magnificent and long epic picture in your mind.

Carol was looking forward to it even more, and he couldn't wait to read the book now.

"Carol: I don't mind the book being too small, if you want to, Mr. A, I hope you can read it now!

Clumsy and Extraordinary: ...... Expectations that are too high can lead to disappointment. ”

You can feel Carol's excitement through the screen,

Ji Zhuo poured a basin of cold water.

Looking at Ji Zhuo's message,

Carol on the other side did calm down,

Indeed,

If you have too high expectations for a book, you will continue to raise the upper limit of expectations.

Unless you write about the perfect thing that people expect in their hearts, it can be disappointing.

And if the expectations keep rising...... No matter how well it is written, it may not touch the reader's original expectations.

When reading a book,

It's better to just watch it with the attitude that he's a new book.

This can be influenced by other things.

Carol soothed her heart like this.

"Carol: I'm sorry, Mr. A, I'm a little too anxious. Then you can create with peace of mind, and when you feel like you can show me, I will read your new work.

Clumsy and extraordinary: Well, I guess it will take a while.

Carol: Of course, Mr. A, you don't have to worry. The reader's patience is limited, and the reader's patience is unlimited. For the sake of a good work, readers are willing to wait enough time. ”

Carol replied,

Ji Zhuo didn't reply anymore and ended the chat.

And on the other side,

Carol, who calmed down her emotions,

In fact, I still can't help but think about Ji Zhuo's new book,

He still wanted to see Ji Zhuo's new book as soon as possible, but he didn't say it.

meantime

Ji Zhuo's words also made Carol a little bit of a gain and loss,

When you care about something, you tend to be extra nervous.

That's what Carol is like at this point.

I can't help but look forward to new great works from "ABC",

I'm a little afraid that the new work is not as great as I expected,

meantime

As editor-in-chief of Bert Press,

As editor-in-chief of Burt Press, which published The Seven Sins,

It also has another layer of concern,

Worried that the new ABC book will not meet the expectations of readers who have read the Seven Sins,

You know,

The first book of 'ABC' was published, winning the White Flag National Literary Award and the British Booker Prize.

In the future, there will inevitably be more awards and honors on this excellent and even great work.

And this will inevitably make these readers continue to raise their expectations for the new book "ABC".

Just like he just did,

If the new book of 'ABC' is not amazing and excellent enough,

Even if it's just average,

It is also difficult to meet the psychological expectations of this group of 'demanding readers'.

So, the more Carol thought about it, the more nervous she felt,

I can't wait to see the new book of 'ABC'.

"Hoo ......"

"That's 'ABC', what am I nervous about?"

With a long sigh, Carol smiled and said to herself,

He still has enough faith in this writer.
