Chapter 345: Death for a Confidant!
“…… Hey, Xi Yuan! I saw the news! ”
"Delvin Press says they will publish overseas editions of other works by dog authors, including "Dream of the Stars", in the near future!"
"Haha! Although the new book of the dog author has not yet arrived, I will soon have another book to read! ”
After discussing with Ji Zhuo about the overseas publication of other works, Delvin Publishing Houses
With Ji Zhuo's consent, the warm-up propaganda has already begun.
Now, early in the morning, in Great Britain, in the university,
The British roommate, who had just woken up and was looking at his phone while washing, suddenly saw the news of this news - "Delvin Publishing House will soon publish a number of overseas editions of dog authors' works, including "Dream of the Stars", including English editions, German, White Flag Country, Russian and other language versions, it is reported that Delvin Publishing has begun to translate and prepare for printing before publication. ”
Seeing this news, the British roommate turned around and shouted excitedly at the theater in the dormitory,
At this moment, Xi Yuan just sat up from the bed, his eyes were hazy, and he yawned again.
Hearing his roommate's sudden shout, he almost had a spirit, and then glanced at his roommate helplessly,
Then slowly get up and wash up.
“…… Xi Yuan, it's the work of the dog author, and the other works of the dog author are about to be published in various languages overseas, aren't you happy? Aren't you excited? ”
The Great Britain roommate looked at Xi Yuan's appearance, and was still excited, and said excitedly,
"I'm going to have dog authors to read again! Aren't you excited? Xi Yuan! ”
"Happy, excited, excited...... But I've read all of the dog authors, and now it's out of the overseas edition, and for me it's just a few more books on the shelves that can be collected. ”
Xi Yuan nodded, and then answered calmly while yawning.
The Great Britain roommate was stunned, and then reacted,
“…… I almost forgot.,Xi Yuan, you just look at the original version.,The English version doesn't mean anything to Xi Yuan...... However, Xi Yuan's previous translation is indeed a bit imperfect, and I have already begun to look forward to the English versions of "Star Dream" and "Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals", "Shepherd Boy", "Shepherd Boy", ...... "Shepherd Boy"! ”
As the British roommate spoke, he was a little excited, muttering the word 'shepherd boy' in broken Mandarin.
Xi Yuan glanced at his roommate, my translation is not good? That's not what you wanted to hear at first.
Walking to the side, Xi Yuan began to wash.
And the roommate hurriedly washed up, hugged the phone to the side, and looked at the comments of other readers on the Internet.
"Xi Yuan, you can't understand my excitement now, I'm so happy! You see, all the readers of the dog authors on the network are excited, well, and quite a few ABC readers are also excited...... I read the reader's nickname, and I used to stand on the ABC side and the reader of the dog author to greet and argue fiercely. ”
"I understand, probably the excitement of seeing the dog author's new book released?"
"No, is it the excitement of suddenly seeing that the dog author is about to release a new book, or is it the excitement of releasing several new books at the same time!"
The roommate said excitedly,
Xi Yuan was stunned, thinking about it, it was strangely exciting.
It's a pity that he has read all the works published and sold in China before by the dog author.
He couldn't feel the excitement of his roommate right now.
Obviously, it is not possible for dog authors to send several books to their loyal readers at the same time.
Ay.
Thinking about it this way, Xi Yuan was a little inexplicably melancholy.
silently glanced at the roommate who was holding his mobile phone and excitedly flipping through the news and news,
Xi Yuan turned his head again and brushed his teeth in silence.
This way
The roommate didn't raise his head, and his eyes stayed on the phone screen.
“…… Cool! This is the best news I've seen in the past month, and other works by the 'Dog Author' are also available in English! ”
"Is today the day God is watching over me? What do I see, Delvin Publishing is going to publish other works by dog authors? Does that mean I'll be able to see the English version of these books right away! ”
"This is not your God's curtain, it's the curl of the Delvin Press and the dog author, oh! Dog Author! Dog Author! ”
I don't know if these readers on the British Internet don't understand the original meaning of the dog author, and they shouted excitedly one by one.
The roommate also watched excitedly and felt the carnival of the dog author readers on the Internet!
"The last time I was so excited, it was when I saw the dog author "Seven Days of Hell", and I really damn it, the Goncourt Literary Prize was awarded to "Imperial Epic", and now I still feel bad when I think about it."
"I'm just as excited, looking forward to the dog author's other works being published in various languages abroad, but what do you mean, not convinced by the Imperial Epic?"
The comments didn't look down for long, when someone mentioned ABC's work,
Then the comments began to skew from time to time, starting an argument between the dog author readers and the ABC readers.
These arguments, the roommate directly skipped, and continued to excitedly watch this storm that belonged to the readers of the dog author.
"Oh my God! Is there an English version going to be released? Don't you know, when I found the pirated version of "Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals" on the Internet, the damn level of translation made me feel uncomfortable! Is it finally coming out in English? ”
For this commenter's behavior of looking at piracy, the roommate resolutely refuted it,
But the uncomfortable feeling of low-quality literary translation, the roommate has profound content,
Thinking about it, he had heard the same with Xi Yuan's translation before.
“…… There is a club of dog authors and ABC in our school, and one of the members of the club has translated "The Shepherd Boy Seeks Immortals" for us, but the level of literary translation is also relatively low......"
Well? Which person in the club posted the comment?
Aren't you afraid that Xi Yuan will see it?
"Cool! Cruel! Today is my Christmas! I'm the lackey in front of the dog author! These are a few books! This is to have several books by dog authors to read to me at the same time! ”
The roommate was excited, and then continued to watch the excitement of other readers on the Internet.
……
“…… Editor-in-Chief Lou, it seems that we have to hurry up and publish the overseas editions of Mr. Ji's works. ”
In the office of Editor-in-Chief Lou, Editor-in-Chief Lou and her subordinates also watched the heated discussions and carnivals on the overseas Internet.
“…… Well, let's contact the literary translator we have cooperated with before and start translating Mr. Ji's works as soon as possible. ”
Editor-in-Chief Lou looked at the computer screen, and couldn't help but smile a little on his face,
In fact, the Delvin Publishing House has not made any publicity about this matter, but only revealed the relevant news to the outside world.
With the influence of the dog author itself, it has already made the overseas Internet seem particularly lively at this time.
Different media outlets and readers themselves are scrambling to spread the news.
"In addition, send me the contract that has been drawn up, I will send it to Mr. Ji first and then take a look, if there is no problem, I will send the contract to Mr. Ji."
"Well, okay, Editor-in-Chief Lou."
Editor-in-Chief Lou soon received an electronic version of the authorization contract drafted by the legal department of Delvin Press.
She took a closer look at it herself, and after making sure that there was no problem, she sent it to Ji Zhuo.
……
It was noon when Ji Zhuo received the news from Editor-in-Chief Lou.
Before receiving the message from the editor-in-chief Lou, he first received a message from the editor-in-chief of Bert Publishing Carroll and the editor-in-chief of Eyre Publishing House.
Ji Zhuo, who had just gotten up from the bed and was washing in front of the washstand, had to stop brushing his teeth for a while and reply to several editors-in-chief.
"Carol: Mr. A, did you get any news? Your friend, the 'dog author''s books such as "Dream of the Stars" and "The Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals" will be published overseas.
Carol: It's like "Seven Days of Hell" and "Caged Bird."
carol: Is this the work that 'Dog Author' is about to use to have a fair face with Mr. A?
Carol: Now the news of the overseas publication of these works by 'dog authors' has appeared on the Internet in advance, and it has caused a heated discussion on the Internet.
Carol: Mr. A, are we going to publish your new work in advance as well? Or maybe we're starting to kick off your new book?
Carol: Tell us about the upcoming release of your new book? ”
This is a message from the editor-in-chief Carroll,
Then there's the message from Editor-in-Chief Al.
"Mr. al:I, I have read part of the 'great' chapter you sent,
AL: I haven't finished reading it yet, but I can already see that this is a great chapter, and that The Ordinary and the Great is a great work.
al: Mr. I, have you been following some recent news on the Europa network?
AL: The news that some of the 'dog author's' works are about to be published overseas has stolen a lot of buzz, including the hype we had previously advertised.
AL: You see, now that you've finished your work, should we release your work ahead of schedule? Even if the translation of the other language version has not yet been completed, it is still possible to sell the English version first.
al: After reading your work, I believe that your work, Mr. I, is better than those two writers. But the readers of those 'dog authors' are a bit blind, and we really don't have to go head-to-head with the publication of that writer's work. ”
These two editors-in-chief sent a message at this time,
It's all because of the same thing,
It was a ripple effect of Ji Zhuo's promise to Delvin Publishing to publish overseas editions of his other works.
Editor-in-chief Carol watched the popularity of overseas publishing houses of dog authors' works become popular on overseas networks, which is particularly lively.
Snatched a lot of ABC's popularity, and was a little anxious.
And the editor-in-chief of Al is also a little anxious,
Although the propaganda of the sword in the early stage made "Ordinary and Great" gain some popularity.
But now as soon as the news came out that the dog author's work was about to be published overseas, the media and readers rushed to report and spread the news.
The enthusiasm of readers and the media directly drowned out the enthusiasm of Eyre Publishing House's propaganda for "Ordinary and Great".
In this case, it is useless to continue to promote, and even this exaggerated propaganda method has not been paid attention to by readers.
And continue to drag on for a longer time, originally because of this kind of sword bias propaganda to remember the readers of the book "Ordinary and Great",
I will gradually forget about this book.
Ji Zhuo still has a toothbrush in his mouth,
looked at the news of the two editors-in-chief, paused, and then sent the two editors-in-chief back the news,
First of all, Carol,
"Clumsy and extraordinary: Mr. Carroll, I already know that the books "Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals" and "Star Dream" are about to be published overseas.
Clumsy and extraordinary: But what I'm comparing to is a new book, not these works.
Clumsy and extraordinary: The release of the new book still goes according to the original schedule. ”
Ji Zhuo wanted to release a new book as soon as possible, but the problem was,
He was going to start writing a new ABC book today, and now he still has a toothbrush in his mouth.
Obviously, the title of the new book has not been typed out yet.
"Carol: Mr. A, why don't we start promoting your new book?
Carol: We don't need to reveal anything about your new book, we just need to tell the reader that your new book is coming out.
Clumsy and Extraordinary: ......
Clumsy and extraordinary: wait until I send you some of the manuscript, it will be a few days.
Carol: Okay. ”
Ending the conversation with Carol,
Ji Zhuo looked at the message sent by the editor-in-chief of Al,
After thinking about it, I replied to a message.
"Clumsy and extraordinary: Mr. Al, I've seen it.
Clumsy and extraordinary: But let him be buzzing with the excitement on the Internet in Europa and elsewhere, and we couldn't have robbed the popularity of the book release of those two authors.
Clumsy and extraordinary: In that case, we really don't need to disrupt our plans, so let's just publish and sell them at the scheduled time. ”
On the other side,
Editor-in-Chief Eyre, who received the message, looked at Mr. I's message.
I understood what Mr. I meant.
Although it was a bit euphemistic, Mr. I obviously didn't want to avoid the edge for a while.
If you don't release the new book early, it will inevitably collide with the book that the dog author is about to publish overseas, and in the future, it may also collide with the new book of ABC.
Thinking like this, the editor-in-chief of Al was a little nervous,
But looking back and looking at the computer screen again, he hadn't closed the manuscript of "Ordinary and Great",
His nervousness gradually subsided and his confidence was restored.
Yes, there are such works, what are you afraid of?
Why do you need "Ordinary and Great" to avoid the edge for the time being?
When Mr. I's work is published, it should be those two writers and other writers who need to avoid the edge for the time being!
Even now Mr. I doesn't have so many loyal readers,
But so what?
Even if we are outnumbered,
Al also believes that this excellent book can conquer every reader who opens his page.
Thinking so, Editor-in-Chief Al gradually became confident.
That's it!
As Mr. I said, we don't disrupt our publishing plans.
Just follow our plan!
I invited the best literary translator and made the best arrangements.
At this time, it would be in vain to publish it in advance!
Al thought,
Firmly sent back the message to Mr. I.
"Mr. al: I, since you have faith in your work, you also have faith in your work.
AL: Then we'll follow your word and continue our pre-publication work.
al: I believe that even if the other side has a larger audience than us, it will be your work that will win in the end, Mr. I! ”
I wonder what Al thinks?
I was a little anxious just now, but now I regained my confidence.
Seems confident that his work will be published?
But it seems to be good,
At least agreed with his suggestion to continue to have a hard fight with the 'dog author',
Jean Ji's wool-picking plan is still going according to plan.
Ji Zhuo looked at the news that the editor-in-chief of Al came back, and a smile appeared on his face,
Then he paused, and couldn't help but reply to another message, comforting the editor-in-chief of Al in advance,
I'm really afraid that the editor-in-chief of Al will be hit after the publication of "The Ordinary and the Great",
If "Ordinary and Great" is not good, you can't blame the editor-in-chief of Al, you can only blame Ji Zhuo himself...... Ha ha.
"It's all right, Mr. Al, you don't have to feel any pressure or burden.
Clumsy and extraordinary: if my work is good enough, then he will shine in himself,
Clumsy and extraordinary: If my work is not so good, it is not your responsibility, Mr. Al.
Al:Mr. I, your work is bound to shine brightly! ”
Al was a little moved when he saw the message from Mr. I.
He knew that Mr. I was saying this to him so that he didn't have so many worries and worries.
But the more this happened, the more he felt a great responsibility.
When faced with a writer like Mr. I, he felt like he had met a confidant!
Confidants are hard to find, and he really doesn't want to live up to the great work of this great writer.
He will definitely go all out, even if he doesn't make money on Mr. I's book, he wants more people and more readers to see this work bloom his brilliance!
This way
Ji Zhuo looked at Al and replied firmly,
was silent, and I didn't know what to say again,
I just replied with a hmm, and just like that, the chat ended.
