Ji Zhuo was really right before,

Carol is here to urge the draft.

Ji Zhuo was silent for a while and did not reply to the message, Carol seemed to understand what Ji Zhuo meant, so he didn't ask again.

"Carol: Mr. A, then this licensing contract is basically the same as last time, and we would like to mention 15% of your royalty share. What do you think, Mr. A? ”

Turning his head to talk about the authorization contract.

As before, Burt Publishing has obtained an exclusive publishing license for all language editions except Chinese, and a non-exclusive license for the Chinese version.

For this, Burt Publishers had to pay 15 percent of the royalties. Compared to the last "Imperial Epic", the contract has increased by one percent.

"Clumsy and extraordinary: yes, okay.

carol: Then I'll ask the legal counsel to draw up the contract and send it to Mr. A. After the contract is signed, the publisher will start to prepare for the translation and publication of your new work, Mr. A.

Clumsy and Extraordinary: Hmm......

Carol: Mr. A...... After a while, you see that you are satisfied with the polishing of the later part of the manuscript, can you send it to us?

Carol: You don't necessarily need to finish the manuscript and send it back.

Carol: This allows the printer to print in advance and bind the entire book when you're done...... Of course, there are also some small personal reasons on my part.

Carol: As your most loyal reader, I'm really looking forward to the rest of this great work.

Clumsy and extraordinary: well......"

Looking at Carol's messages, Ji Zhuo really had nothing else to reply.

"Carol: Also, Mr. A, you read the Chinese version of "Shadow Empire", is it still the same as before, you write it yourself?"

Communicate a few more words with Carol about the publication of "Shadow Empire",

Ji Zhuo ended the communication with Carol again.

In response to these messages from Carroll,

Through the screen, you can feel Carol's excitement and excitement that has not subsided.

Ji Zhuo glanced at the phone again,

I threw my phone on the sofa next to me.

I was paralyzed on the sofa and didn't want to move.

The other side.

It's already nightfall in Great Britain at this time,

After Carol and Mr. A communicated, their faces were still excited,

After sending a message to the publisher's in-house counsel to draw up the contract,

Carol opened the "Shadow Empire" that she had already watched before,

Continue to be a little more excited, looking at it from the beginning.

It's just that even if I watched it a second time, gradually, Carol was still immersed in the development of the story.

Immerse yourself in the world of the book,

The office was quiet again, and Carroll's mood rose and fell with Mr. A's writing about the story in the book.

……

"Vos? My Professor Voss, my great translator, has dinner! ”

“…… Haha, I've finally translated this perfectly, that's it...... Thank you Mr. I for the original text for my requirements for my literary translation level, otherwise how could this paragraph be translated. ”

in the living room. Professor Voss's wife was calling Professor Voss in the study to come out to dinner.

As if he hadn't heard, Professor Voss let out an excited, somewhat crazy voice in his study.

"Haha...... It's so good that I translated it......"

The wife shook her head helplessly, walked to the door of the study, reached out and knocked on the door.

"Dongdong, Dongdong......"

“…… What's wrong? My dear wife. ”

After a while, Professor Voss opened the door to the study.

With a smile on his face, it could be seen that Professor Voss was in a happy mood because of a perfect literary translation.

"I know my Professor Voss is busy translating a great work, but it's dinner time now, and if you don't want to collapse in your study with low blood sugar for a while, and your precious great work forced to be translated by someone else, you should probably come out for dinner now."

"Hmm...... That's right. ”

Looking back at the computer that had not been turned off, Professor Voss hesitated, but followed his wife out of the study and sat down at the living room table.

"Is this the dinner for today, it looks very good."

Professor Voss had a smile on his face all the time.

"Looks like you're in a good mood, even if I pull you out of your study. Did the translation work go well? ”

"It's going well. But at this moment, more often than not, I can't wait to scratch my scalp and think about how to perfectly express these beautiful sentences in another language. ”

Professor Voss nodded in response, picking up a slice of bread.

"Is it difficult to translate?"

His wife glanced at Professor Voss with some curiosity.

"It's very difficult, it's like facing a great book, how to translate it, feeling a little flawed, it's a blasphemy against this great work."

"As a literary translator, it is painful to encounter such a work, because I need to scratch my head and think about how to translate it more closely to the original book.

But it also feels wonderful, because people probably still need to be forced, and without such a good original, I can't force myself to be better, better to translate these contents.

Come back and look at it again. Oh my gosh, is this something I can translate? How could it be so well translated at that time.

Then, I can only be more cautious, careful, and do my best to translate the work, just to make the translated work closer to the original. ”

Professor Voss smiled and said a little non-stop.

His wife looked at Professor Voss, nodded, and then smiled,

"Then I think my great literary translator seems to be shining brightly."

"Thank you...... I think this translation will also become a masterpiece and glory in my life. ”

Professor Voss replied with a smile.

Then I ate a few bites of dinner, and then I picked up a slice of bread,

After grabbing a cup of coffee, I walked back to the study.

"Then I'll go ahead and translate...... I just came up with a suitable translation, and I'm going to have to try to translate it. ”

"Go ahead."

The wife smiled in response.

……

“…… Boss, we're friends. ”

"Perhaps, after all, you spent a lot of money with me."

"Oh no, all that money was spent for ABC and the dog author."

“……”

Great Britain, night falls.

The bookstore in front of the university is about to close.

But before closing, Xi Yuan's British roommate walked here after dinner in the cafeteria.

I didn't buy books, so I just stood here talking to the bookstore owner.

Listening to his roommate's words, the bookstore owner was silent for a while, walked out of the cashier counter, continued to organize the bookshelves, and prepared to close the door.

"So what's the matter with you?"

The bookstore owner asked.

The roommate also followed the bookstore owner's side, reaching out and helping the bookstore owner tidy up the bookshelves from time to time.

"It's not a big deal. It's just said that, in general, "

“…… Bookstores get a newly published book earlier than the average customer, but they have an agreement with the publisher that they can't officially sell it until the release date. ”

"So, sir, do you already have some upcoming titles here? In the back warehouse? ”

The roommate mysteriously approached the bookstore owner, and then asked in a low voice,

"For example?"

The bookstore owner glanced at his roommate's unconscious hand helping him sort out his books,

He had just inserted a book back into the bookshelf from the side, pulled it out for his roommate, and then put it back again, and misplaced the bookshelf compartment.

made the bookstore owner's eyes pause,

“…… For example, ABC's new book? ”

The roommates got closer,

The boss turned his head and looked at his roommate's face from his roommate's hand,

The roommate still had an expectant look on his face,

"If I had a new ABC work right now, I should have kicked you bastard out of the mess with me right now, and then I'd go upstairs and read the book by myself instead of talking nonsense to you here."

"Oooh...... I'm sorry. ”

Turning his head, he noticed that he had pulled the book out of the bookshelf and put it back in.

The boss took a look, then took out the book his roommate, replaced it with a bookshelf compartment, and put it back in its original place.

“…… So, sir, ABC's new work ......"

“…… Two days ago, it was revealed that ABC's new book "Shadow Empire" is about to be released, do you think I will have ABC books at this time? ”

"It seems to be early...... And what about those works by dog authors? ”

"The release time of the dog author's works hasn't been announced yet, do you think I'll be able to get it now?"

The boss turned his head to look at his roommate again and spoke.

"Hmmm......"

"Hmm...... Boss, when will the goods arrive, remember to tell me...... Don't worry, I won't leak it out, I can just hide in your warehouse and watch. ”

", bastard!"

The boss said again angrily.

The roommate didn't look at it, and just went away.

Watching the bastard boy run away, the boss cleaned up some of the books on the bookshelf that were a little messy.

Then go and lock the bookstores.

After a pause, he didn't go upstairs, and then walked to the cashier counter.

“…… While ABC's new work should be early, it's been a long time since the Dog Authors published their works in various languages...... Maybe I should call again. ”

"Maybe it's about to go on sale, maybe it's already in stock?"

It's not just for sale,

Even if he can get a few copies in advance, it's not bad for him to read them himself.

"Dream of the Stars", "Night Tour of the Capital City", "Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals", ...... This is the name of other works by the dog author that he has heard before,

It's just that it has never been published overseas before, and it is difficult for him to read it.

"Hmm...... I'll have to call again. ”

……

“…… Yes, we are willing to provide promotional materials, but we just hope that your bookstore can put this work published by our publishing house in a more prominent position, and also put these promotional materials in the bookstore. ”

"We are willing to give your bookstore a higher share than the works of other bookseller publishers, and we only hope that the staff of your bookstore can also recommend this work of our publishing house."

It's past the time to get off work.

In the Al Press, Al and his wife Penny have not left the publishing house.

At the same time, they are in contact with some bookstore channels that have cooperated with Al Publishing House before, and some channels that have not cooperated with each other.

Al Publishing doesn't have so many channel resources.

But Al is willing to give up some of the profits that originally belonged to the publishing house in order to open up the channel of "Ordinary and Great".

Previously, Al had been contacting various bookstore bookseller channels,

Naturally, some channels agreed, and some channels did not agree.

As promised to Mr. I, Al has tried his best to arrange all the channel resources that can be arranged for the work "Ordinary and Great".

Even Al Publishing doesn't make a penny directly on the book "Ordinary and Great".

“…… It's done, it's basically no problem here. ”

Penny ended the call, smiled and turned to Al and spoke.

Al nodded, and ended the call.

"How's the situation at the printing house?"

"It's just an English version, and it's been printed quite a bit, and it's been put in the warehouse for the time being."

"For the other translations, because we haven't got the translations yet, it may take some time."

"Hmm...... I'll try to ask about the progress of the literary translation side. ”

Thinking about Professor Voss's irascible appearance before, Al had a headache.

However, Professor Voss's reaction also proves that he is interested enough in this work.

In terms of translation quality, Al is reassured a lot.

"Hmmm......"

Penny nodded.

“…… Most of our pre-printed "The Ordinary and the Great" are in English. ”

"When the other language versions start going print, we should start preparing for the official release of Ordinary and Great."

"Hmmm......"

Al nodded in response, and then said to his wife,

"Don't stop the publicity on the Internet, even if the publicity effect is very weak under the heat squeeze of those two writers, but let every more reader know about Mr. I's work, it may make Mr. I's great work bloom its glory faster!"

Al said firmly.

Penny nodded,

Then the two looked at each other and smiled at each other.

……

“…… Cracking sound. ”

The sound of keyboard tapping rang in the study,

And so many more days passed.

Ji Zhuo has been living an unusually regular life these days,

In addition to waking up a little earlier every day to write the content behind "Shadow Empire",

I have to find time to write the Chinese version of "Shadow Empire",

Also, over there is the El Press,

Editor-in-chief Al also contacted him every day, and from time to time talked about the progress of the publication of "Ordinary and Great", which is also progressing gradually.

As for the overseas editions of the works of dog authors published by Delwin Press, the same is going on in much the same way.

"Hoo ......"

Another day of sitting in front of the computer,

When Ji Zhuo stopped the code word, it was already evening outside the window,

The evening sunset was reflected on the wall of the study.

With a long exhale,

Ji Zhuo got up and touched his phone.

Pressed the phone screen and looked at it,

At the top of the penguin chat is the message from Editor-in-Chief Al.

"Mr. al: I, I will send you the five hundred copies of the English version of "The Ordinary and the Great", I read the logistics information, and it is almost there."

Coincidentally, when Ji Zhuo was reading this news,

I received another text message, which was from logistics, saying that he had goods and would come to the door soon.

Ji Zhuo could only sit on the sofa in the living room, waiting for the receipt.

By the way, I glanced at the other messages sent by the editor-in-chief of Al, and the messages sent by some other contacts.

Al: In addition, the translation of the White Flag Chinese and Russian versions has also been completed and sent to the printing house to start printing.

al: According to your opinion, Mr. I, we have followed the plan, and have not deliberately delayed or disrupted our plans due to the influence of other writers, and now, it is almost time for your work "Ordinary and Great" to be officially published and released.

AL: The publisher has set the official release date for your work to be next Monday.

al: Mr. I, do you see how the time is, and whether it needs to be brought forward or postponed.

Clumsy: Just next Monday. ”

Ji Zhuo naturally has no opinion on this time.

However, the works of "Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals" and "Star Dream" under the name of the dog author seem to be about to be published overseas.

It's probably going to collide with "Ordinary and Great".

But for Ji Zhuo, it's just right.

And on the other side,

Al looked at the chat interface with Mr. I, his face a little nervous and a little excited.

For Mr. I's two biggest opponents recently, Al naturally has a concern.

He also knew that several of the 'dog author's books were about to be released in Europa and around the world.

But now that this time has come for Al Publishing to do everything it can do,

And Mr. I's work, he believes, is no worse than anything.

Then since there is no way to avoid it, then it is not avoided!

Mr. I will inevitably need to overcome some opponents to shine in his own light.

This time, let's start with the author's old work!

Al exhaled deeply,

Eyes firm!
