Chapter 268: Mr. A, Do You Know "Caged Bird"?
"Sassy ......"
In the living room, the wind blows into the house from the open window,
It was already evening outside the house, and after Ji Zhuo lay on the sofa and collapsed for a while,
I started to get sleepy, and then I just made up for sleep.
When he woke up at this time, because the weather was hot, Ji Zhuo turned over and sat up, facing the cool evening breeze outside the window.
Just asleep,
He even had a dream in broad daylight,
In the dream, I dreamed of a little girl who was squatting on the ground and folding stars, and then the stars were hung in the sky by her...... The dream is probably so absurd,
After that, Ji Zhuo forgot about it, and now that he woke up, he only felt ...... Do you want to stop updating less every day?
Look at what I think in Japanese, I have a dream at night, and this dream is a reflection of my diligence!
"Ah~"
Ji Zhuo's thoughts wandered wildly, and he yawned again.
"Gollum ......"
Hunger urged him to get up, and he probably woke up hungry.
But he still has to wait, make an appointment with logistics door-to-door,
The 2,000 signed copies of the Imperial Epic were sent out...... Well, last night he finally signed off on these two thousand copies of the Imperial Epic.
For a while, he didn't want to sign anymore, and he couldn't say anything!
"Knock Knock ......"
"Mr. Ji, logistics. Pick-up. ”
Ji Zhuo opened the door.
“…… Eh...... You've got a lot of stuff......"
A few logistics guys went back and forth several times before moving the twenty boxes of books.
After moving out, the whole house looked empty.
……
"Shhhh......h Hiss ......"
"Ji Zhuo! You say why every time I order spicy food to the bottom of the pot, I end up being guilty of it! ”
For dinner, Ji Zhuo ate with Yun Qingmu as usual.
I made an appointment at a hot pot restaurant.
Probably to retaliate against Ji Zhuo for stuffing a knife in the book and ordering a very spicy pot bottom.
But Ji Zhuo ate normally, but with some sweat on his forehead,
But Yun Qingmu hissed once, hissing and breathing,
“…… Haven't you noticed yet, I can eat spicy, and you can't eat spicy. ”
Ji Zhuo spoke, and then took the meat in the pot with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
“…… Hum...... Whoop, whoop...... You ......"
“…… If it's too spicy, why don't you add a clear soup pot? ”
"No!"
Yun Qingmu's snot was about to come out, and she kept breathing.
But he still firmly rejected Ji Zhuo's proposal.
This damn stubbornness, this damn desire to win.
Ji Zhuo looked at his eyes and mouth, as if he had put on lipstick again,
Didn't say anything more,
Bow your head and pick up your phone, and continue to send messages.
"Clumsy and extraordinary: Editor-in-Chief Lou, I have already negotiated the copyright issue with Shiyue.
Clumsy and extraordinary: I can license the overseas publishing rights of "Seven Days of Hell" and "Hour Hand" to your publishing house.
Editor-in-Chief Lou of Delvin Press: Thank you, Mr. Ji, for your trust in our publishing house, thank you.
Editor-in-Chief Lou: We will certainly live up to your work. ”
On the other side,
Editor-in-chief Lou, who is still working overtime in the publishing house,
Looking at the message that Ji Zhuo came back,
The whole person breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.
I almost waited for Ji Zhuo's reply for two days, during which I was afraid that Ji Zhuo would be cut off by other publishing houses.
Editor-in-chief Lou was a little anxious.
So much so that when he received Ji Zhuo's affirmative reply at this time, the whole person was a little excited.
"Editor-in-Chief Lou: We will do our best to promote your work around the world, so that your work can achieve the same excellent results overseas, just like the previous "Caged Bird".
Editor-in-Chief Lou: In addition, if Mr. Ji intends to publish overseas editions of other works, I also hope that Mr. Ji will give more consideration to our publishing house.
Clumsy and extraordinary: definitely. ”
After a few more polite words with Editor-in-Chief Lou, Ji Zhuo ended the exchange with Editor-in-Chief Lou.
As for the specific royalty share of the licensing contract, we have to talk about it again.
However, in this matter, it is the editor-in-chief Lou who is anxious, not Ji Zhuo.
“…… Ji Zhuo, who are you talking to about what? ”
It may be that the bottom of the pot is too spicy, or it may be that Ji Zhuo seems to be sending a message.
Yun Qingmu, who was sitting opposite, finally stopped his chopsticks, raised his head and asked Ji Zhuo with some curiosity,
"The editors of Delvin Press are the publishers who publish the overseas edition of The Caged Bird, and they want to publish the overseas editions of Seven Days of Hell and Hour Hand."
""Hour Hand" and "Seven Days of Hell" are also going to be released overseas?"
Yun Qingmu's eyes lit up.
"Yes, but the overseas version, what are you surprised."
"I'm glad that the dog author's book can have more readers, can't I?"
Yun Qingmu snorted and said.
"Okay, okay...... So happy, no longer eat two more slices of meat to celebrate. ”
"I want to change the base of the soup pot now...... Isn't it possible? ”
“…… Okay......"
……
After eating dinner with Yun Qingmu, there was nothing else to arrange.
And they went home.
Ji Zhuo walked along the side of the street,
happened to walk past the place where the barbecue stall owner set up his stall,
The owner of the original barbecue stall opened a shop, and it was empty for a few days, and now a new stall has taken up the place, which is a snack seller.
Ji Zhuo also glanced at the stall owner, probably a young man.
Then he turned back and walked on.
……
to the community.
I didn't see the little chubby dun today, I don't know if I followed his grandmother out to square dance.
It's still too late, and I've already gone back.
Ji Zhuo estimated that it should be the latter, after all, Xiao Chubby Dun didn't seem to be a person who liked sports.
"Ding-dong."
Ji Zhuo received the news again.
"Squid: Big guy is awesome! The big guy is also a non-Mo shareholder now, which makes me want to go to the non-Mo mix. ”
The squid sent a message,
Probably saw the news?
I looked at the congratulations sent by several people.
Probably.
Although Ji Zhuo was troublesome, he did not hold a signing ceremony in the end.
But there will certainly be no shortage of relevant news reports and publicity.
This Ji Zhuo doesn't have any opinions, after all, Feimo gave him shares, isn't it just for this.
"Clumsy and extraordinary: polite, polite. The big guy came here, and the editor-in-chief who read it was not allowed to tear me in two.
Squid: How dare he, the big guy is much more important than me. ”
After two more business blows to each other, Ji Zhuo is ready to put down the mobile phone,
But another person sent a message,
Had to go back.
"Carol: Mr. A, the winners of the Europa Prize for Literature and the winners have been announced! Mr. A, have you noticed?
Carol: You've officially won the Europa Literary Award for Best Feature! Same as we knew before! ”
The winners announced?
Ji Zhuo really doesn't know.
Looking at this news, you can feel Carol's excitement,
Carol: The publisher has also announced the release dates of various language versions, including the Chinese version. Just after the awards ceremony.
Carol: Mr. A, this is the first award you've won for this book, but trust me, trust your work, it's just the beginning!
Clumsy and extraordinary: Thank you, Mr. Carroll, for the compliment. ”
For Carol's words, Ji Zhuo's mood did not fluctuate, and he replied with a kind word,
Then I received a bunch of fanatical admiration from Carol.
But after the frenzy is over,
At the end of the exchange, Carol asked Ji Zhuo about it again,
Ji Zhuo was stunned for some questions.
"Carol: Mr. A, do you know Caged Bird? His author is the same Chinese writer as you.
Carol: His work has also made a lot of waves overseas. Do you know him?
Clumsy and Extraordinary: Hmm...... You also want to publish his work?
Carol: Don't get me wrong, Mr. A, of course, our publishing house still publishes your works, and this writer's works are not as good as yours...... We just want to publish some other works in our spare time.
Carol: Damn, the Delwin bastards kept the author's identity very secret, and wouldn't give out a bit of information to us colleagues......"
Ji Zhuo looked at Carol's message,
Some were silent...... It feels like his vest is not far from being exposed.
