Chapter 271: Hmm......
"Mr. Naki, I wish us a happy cooperation again."
Within two days, Ji Zhuo went to the Feimo headquarters again.
It's not like there's anything wrong with non-ink this time.
Rather, it is with Delvin Publishing for two books, "The Clock Leaps to Death" and "Seven Days of Hell", about the signing of overseas publishing licensing contracts.
Non-Mo provided the signing venue.
At this time, the contract has been signed, and the group has already arrived downstairs.
After the editor-in-chief Lou of Delvin Publishing House got the overseas publishing authorization, he hurriedly went back to prepare for the overseas publication of the two books.
After a few words of greeting downstairs, he left with the authorization contract.
"Mr. Ji, I am in a hurry to go back to the publishing house, and I want Mr. Ji and your two works to meet overseas readers earlier. I took my leave first. ”
Looking at the departure of the editor-in-chief Lou of the Delvin Publishing House,
Ji Zhuo said to the editor-in-chief and editor-in-chief of Feimo,
Also left.
declined the kindness of the non-Mo editor-in-chief to drive him,
Ji Zhuo went out of Feimo, stopped a taxi on the side of the road and went back.
In a taxi,
Ji Zhuo looked at the contract in his hand again,
Compared with the previous licensing contract signed by Delwin this time, Ji Zhuo's royalty share has been increased a little more, to 13%.
It's a relatively high score.
Retracting his gaze, Ji Zhuo sat in the taxi and looked at the window again,
I heard the taxi driver's mobile phone lying there, which was lying outside.
“…… The woman leaned down, fumbled under the bed, and took something out of it. It's a glass jar filled with origami stars. ”
Well, how is this content so familiar.
Ji Zhuo looked back, but saw that the taxi driver heard this,
He sighed again, his face depressed.
"Hey......"
Listening to the sigh, Ji Zhuo was silent.
He didn't say anything, he just hoped that the car would drive faster and he would get out of the car early.
……
“…… Xi Yuan! Did you hear that? ”
"That author, the other books of the 'Dog Author' have also been published in English!"
Great Britain, Xi Yuan's roommate returned from outside,
While holding the mobile phone and looking at it, he said excitedly to Xi Yuan.
'Dog author' is one of the few Chinese that this roommate has learned, and it is called a correct and round word.
Xi Yuan was reading a book in the house, and he was too idle to read, so he turned out "Seven Sins" and read it, but he was still depressed and uncomfortable when he looked at it.
"Hoo ......"
After a long breath, Xi Yuan raised his head again and replied to his roommate's words.
"What book?"
"Seven Days of Hell and The Hour Leap to Death. Cruel! This is two of my favorite books by the 'Dog Author'. ”
The roommate said that he was excited again.
"After buying Caged Bird, I am already looking forward to the release of the English version of these two books, and I must be the first to grab it!"
“…… Haven't you seen it all......"
Xi Yuan couldn't help but ask, or his roommate begged him to help translate.
“…… Well...... I've seen it, to be precise, I've heard it, and I've heard you translate it. ”
"Hmm...... However, I think Xi Yuan's translation skills may be ...... It's a little bit worse than the professional......"
The roommate was a little ...... Carefully consider the words.
Xi Yuan rolled his eyes as he listened.
"That's not what you heard before."
"Hey ......"
The roommate just laughed, and then immediately followed by a hard change of subject.
“…… Xi Yuan, you know, I'm already looking forward to these two books coming to me! ”
"This time it's the same publisher that came before, well, Delvin Press...... They just announced that they will publish these two works in the near future! ”
"Cool! After all, they have some vision, how can the works of the 'dog author' be published more! "Seven Days of Hell", "Hour Hands Leap to Death", ......"
"'Our Troops ...... to the Sun'"
The roommate first talked excitedly, and as he spoke, he actually sang the song that appeared in "Seven Days of Hell".
Although the singing was a little vague, Xi Yuan naturally heard it,
He was stunned when he heard it.
“…… Where did you learn this song? ”
"Online. There are readers online who also like "Seven Days of Hell" teaching this song...... There is also a translation of the English version, but I don't think the Chinese version is as cool! This song is so cool! Isn't it? Sun! Yes...... yes, Xi Yuan. ”
“…… Well, that's pretty cool. ”
Xi Yuan nodded.
This is probably, cultural export?
“…… Oh...... Why did the publisher announce this news so early...... I'm already starting to feel the torment of waiting, no, I have to go to their official website to urge them. ”
As he spoke, his roommate became miserable again.
Xi Yuan turned his head silently again,
“…… Maybe you want to get these two books early, you should tell the bookstore outside the school in advance, so that the bookstore can stock them early, maybe you can get them early. ”
"Oh! Right! Then I'll go, Xi Yuan. Xi Yuan, you help me urge me on their official website again. ”
As soon as the roommate heard this, he answered, and followed him out of the dormitory and ran out of the school gate.
Xi Yuan was still sitting in his place, and glanced at it,
I turned my head back again, opened my phone, and opened the official website of Delwin Press.
On the official website, there is news that the overseas language versions of the two books "Seven Days of Hell" and "Hour Hand" will be released soon.
I looked at the news left on the official website by the readers who learned the news from various channels and rushed to it.
Basically, they are urging "Seven Days of Hell" and "Hour Hand" to be released quickly.
"Ou! As a sci-fi reader who has read Caged Bird, this is the best news I've heard this year. I just hope that I can buy these two books before Christmas. ”
"Christmas? How long will that be, I hope to see these two books in two weeks! ”
"Let's go on sale soon. Lately, I don't have any other good works to read other than The Imperial Epic. ”
"Please don't mention the work of other writers here, this is the territory of 'dog authors'!"
……
“…… Contact the printing house and start printing, and at the same time notify the headquarters to prepare the publicity and channels. ”
After getting Ji Zhuo's authorization contract, Lou, the editor-in-chief of Delwin Publishing House, rushed back to the capital that night without a half-step.
On the way, I made a lot of next arrangements.
And her work did not start after getting Ji Zhuo's publishing authorization.
She likes to get the job done first.
For example, the translation of "Seven Days of Hell" and "Hour Hand" into various languages began long before she obtained Ji Zhuo's overseas publishing authorization.
At this moment, after getting the authorization, you can already start to enter the printing and publicity at the same time.
"Good. Editor-in-chief Lou. ”
Another person standing in the office of Editor-in-Chief Lou responded with some excitement,
The previous overseas editions of The Caged Bird had achieved excellent results, and the people in charge of publishing the book from top to bottom of the publishing house had benefited a lot.
At this moment, there are other works of dog authors published overseas, and I am naturally excited and excited.
"Hmm...... Wait a minute. ”
"The English version is not to be printed for the time being. Printed in other languages. Don't stop the publicity and warm-up. ”
Editor-in-chief Lou thought for a moment and said a few more words.
When "Caged Bird" was published overseas, although the English version was not translated by Ji Zhuo,
But I also gave a lot of opinions, and later in the feedback from readers, among the overseas versions, the English version was the best.
So this time, she is still ready to stabilize her opinion again.
……
"Hiccup......
When I received a message from Editor-in-Chief Lou,
Ji Zhuo was cooking in the restaurant downstairs, and Yun Qingmu was also there.
However, Yun Qingmu had already had dinner, so he purely accompanied Ji Zhuo,
Most of the time, I didn't move my chopsticks, so I followed Ji Zhuo to talk.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Ji Zhuo pick up his mobile phone, he paused,
Yun Qingmu couldn't help but raise his head and asked.
"It's fine. "Seven Days of Hell" and "Hour Hand" were published overseas. ”
"Oh...... Is it almost public? ”
"Hmm."
In response to Yun's light admiration, Ji Zhuo looked at the message sent by Editor-in-Chief Lou again.
"Editor-in-Chief Lou: Mr. Ji, I'm bothered.
Editor-in-Chief Lou: Before Mr. Ji authorized me to publish the press, I had the courage to find some translators to translate two of your works, Mr. Ji.
Lou Editor-in-Chief: ...... Although the English version has been translated into all languages, I would like to ask Mr. Shimoki your opinion on the English version.
Editor-in-Chief Lou: Mr. Ji, you have given your opinion before, and the English version of "Caged Bird" has the best feedback from overseas language versions. ”
Looking at this news, Ji Zhuo was silent,
Isn't that why you want him to help translate the English version......
"Clumsy and extraordinary: you can send it to me. If I have any ideas, I'll tell you...... However, your publisher still has excellent translators, so there shouldn't be any big problems.
Editor-in-Chief Lou: Mr. Ji is modest.
Lou Editor-in-Chief: "Seven Days of Hell" and "Caged Bird" English version .rar"
smiled back, and then sent a compressed file to Ji Zhuo,
Is this a good preparation?
There's nothing more to say, let's see it at night.
As for now...... Ji Zhuo wanted to continue cooking.
"Clumsy and extraordinary: huh...... I'll take a look later.
Editor-in-Chief Lou: Excuse me, Mr. Ji. ”
Ended the exchange,
Ji Zhuo put down the phone again.
"Ji Zhuo, when will the overseas versions of "Seven Days of Hell" and "Hour Hand" be released?"
"It should take some time."
Even though Delvin has already translated the language versions in advance,
But it takes some time to print and stock up, and to warm up the publicity.
"Hmmm......"
Yun Qingmu nodded.
"Why are you asking this?"
Ji Zhuo bowed his head and picked up vegetables.
"Can't you buy a few copies and collect them?"
Each edition of Ji Zhuo's publications, Yun Qingmu has purchased it.
Well...... This time, there are a few more books on the shelves in the study room at home!
Yun Qingmu thought about it and nodded with satisfaction.
……
Night, into night.
Ji Zhuo came back from eating outside.
threw himself on the couch and lay down paralyzed,
When I touched my phone again, I saw the English versions of "Seven Days of Hell" and "Hour Hand" sent by Editor-in-Chief Lou.
As he said earlier, as expected,
Delvin Publishing spent money on the translation of these two books, and the translation was actually quite good.
However, Ji Zhuo himself seems to be almost meaningless in many places.
Ji Zhuo directly started the marking of the whole paragraph,
And then throw a few comments or keywords next to it,
As for letting him translate into English himself...... frankly
Ji Zhuo was a little afraid that on his 'ABC' vest, which was already in danger, he would increase the risk of exposure.
So forget it.
And...... Delvin doesn't pay for translation.
In this way, the whole paragraph marked some places and made some comments.
However, the two books are not short, and Ji Zhuo can't finish them at this moment.
After a while,
Ji Zhuo threw the phone aside and simply collapsed on the sofa.
Comfortable...... With a little sleepiness, lying on the sofa and lazy,
It's really pleasant.
But Ji Zhuo didn't stay comfortable for long,
I heard the message prompt of the penguin chatting again.
There are still several in succession.
This frequency,
That's probably Carol.
"Carol: Mr. A, with the announcement of the winners of the Europa Literary Prize, the sales of "Imperial Epic" have increased a bit in the past two days.
Carol: When the awards are presented tomorrow, the single-day sales should be even higher.
Carol: I don't think most readers will say no when they know about a book like this! Especially, now Mr. A, your "Imperial Epic" has accumulated enough word-of-mouth.
Carol: In Americalifornia, in a lot of places in Europa, there was a wave of reading...... There are quite a few readers who have already published other Imperial Epics in other languages! Waiting for other language versions to be released, the sales of "Imperial Epic" will usher in an even bigger explosion.
Carol: But I guess that's just the beginning, just the beginning of Imperial Epic returning to its throne! ”
Ji Zhuo didn't reply a word, Carol himself became excited, and sent so many messages in a row with some fanaticism.
Ji Zhuo looked at Carol's messages, was silent, and asked something very important.
"Clumsy and extraordinary: Mr. Carroll, what are the total sales of Imperial Epic so far?"
Carol: The cumulative sales of various channels are about 420,000 copies. I believe this is just the beginning. ”
Finished......
There are 30,000 short of the current mission goal,
And this ...... The first month hasn't been over,
The sales of "Imperial Epic" also have a lot of room to spare.
Looking at the current sales results, these two words sounded in Ji Zhuo's mind,
It's just very bland, and I don't get much excited...... After all, I expected it.
Now I hope that "Epic of Empires" can meet the restrictions on the re-promotion of the main class of the system, and I hope that it can be a classic work that meets the requirements of the system.
It's not special when you think about it this way, it's ...... Lose.
"Clumsy and extraordinary: huh......
Carol: Mr. A, it should be evening. I'm sorry to bother.
Carol: Also, tomorrow's awards ceremony is also in Europa at 6 p.m., which is late at night on your side.
Clumsy and extraordinary: Okay, I see. ”
After chatting with Carol for a few words,
Ji Zhuo withdrew again and looked at the message from another contact on the penguin chat.
The news just now dingdong dingdong, not only Carol sent the news.
"Pioneer Film and Television Editor: Mr. Ji, is your work "Hour Hands Leaping to Death" about to be published overseas?"
This thing can be regarded as a big move,
And it's also related to the next anime adaptation of the Pioneer Film and Television Animation Department.
Pioneer Film and Television only learned the news at this time, and it was relatively late.
"Clumsy and extraordinary: yes. Published by Delvin Press.
Humble and extraordinary: Expect it to be within a month. Will it have any impact on the anime adaptation of Avant-Garde Films? ”
Ji Zhuo asked knowingly.
This matter is a good thing for the anime adaptation of Pioneer Film and Television.
"Editor: No, no, no, no, there is no impact. Or rather, it's all good influences.
Editor: Mr. Ji, your work has been published overseas, and then it has expanded its influence, which is naturally a good thing for the anime adaptation.
Editor: Speaking of which, our company is cheaper than Mr. Ji.
Editor: We were really surprised to learn the news suddenly. Thank you, Mr. Ji.
Clumsy and extraordinary: You're welcome. ”
Ji Zhuo smiled and replied to the message.
For Pioneer Film and Television, the original book that is about to be adapted from the anime has a greater influence and a larger audience of readers.
Let's not talk about whether these new readers can be converted into anime audiences,
But no matter how you calculate it, Pioneer Film and Television is not a loss.
Naturally, it's too late to be happy.
"Editor: Thank you, thank you, Mr. Ji.
Editor: That's right, Mr. Ji. On the side of the animation department, many of the character designs in "Hour Hand" have already had their first drafts, do you want to take a look?
Clumsy and extraordinary: well......"
