Morning.

Ye Luo had breakfast and was ready to send Sister Rou to filming as usual.

On the way, Sister Rou said, "I see that you have to code words all night lately?" Didn't you hand over all the work of creation? Why did you write your own book again? ”

Sister Rou is also busy filming these days, and she comes home late every day. She had already found out that Ye Luo was also staying up late to work, but she hadn't asked before. Seeing that Ye Luo was busy last night, she thought about asking.

"The Faculty of Letters asked me to write a book." Ye Luo explained.

Sister Rou was even more confused, and looked at Ye Luo with some confusion, "Academy? Don't they usually interfere with the author's creation? Why did I take the initiative to ask you to write a book this time? ”

"That's a long story." Ye Luo said with a smile, "The main thing is that your boyfriend is too good, and if others can't do it, they can only find me." ”

Sister Rou smiled, didn't refute him, and didn't answer.

Ye Luo didn't care, seeing that Tang Rou didn't have a stubble, Ye Luo said seriously: "Recently, the Johnson Literary Award is about to start, and the Academy of Literature wants me to write a book to make an impact." ”

At this moment, Sister Rou was surprised, "Attacking the Johnson Literary Award?" ”

"Hmm."

"It's not easy to get this one!" Sister Rou frowned slightly, "For so many years, no Chinese has won the Johnson Literary Award. Mr. Ye, this award is very complicated, not just a literary matter. ”

Ye Luo nodded, "I know." However, there is no way. ”

What Tang Rou meant, Ye Luo had already understood.

However, he really couldn't refuse it.

In today's Chinese literary circle, he Ye Luo is one of the leading figures. It can even be said that he is the first person in contemporary literature. At this time, he has to stand up.

"Don't worry too much, you don't have to win an award, you just need to be shortlisted." Ye Luo said.

Sister Rou breathed a sigh of relief, "If it's just a shortlist, it's not too difficult." We haven't won awards in the past, but there have always been writers shortlisted. ”

Sister Rou knows a little about the Johnson Prize, but it is limited to media coverage. But it's clear that she doesn't know much about some of the moves in this year's Johnson Prize. She also thought that the Academy of Literature asked Ye Luo to write a book because she wanted Ye Luo to improve her international popularity. After all, in Sister Rou's opinion, with Ye Luo's literary strength, it would be too easy to get a shortlisted ticket.

Of course, if you look at it realistically, it's really easy.

However, this year is different.

The judges of the Johnson Award have made up their minds to take advantage of this opportunity to make a wave. These writers in the Chinese literary world have basically all been rejected......

Ye Luo didn't explain, he didn't want to distract Tang Rou because of these things.

"Well, there are arrangements on the side of the Academy of Literature, and it's not a big deal." Ye Luo said with a smile.

"Alright, here we are." Ye Luo parked the car on the side of the road, "I won't go in today, I have to go to the Academy of Literature." ”

"Well, you go slowly. You don't have to pick me up at noon, I'll just eat in the crew. ”

"Okay, you don't have to be too tired."

"Uh-huh, slow down."

After the two reluctantly said goodbye, Ye Luo went straight to the Academy.

……

At this time

Faculty of Letters.

The leaders have not slowed down.

Everyone was stunned when they heard the news that Ye Luo had written it out.

However, on each of their computers, the book "War and Peace" is displayed.

One week!

Just one week!

Ye Luo was stunned to write a book of more than 1 million words!

Everyone knows that Ye Luo is notoriously fast, but the question is, isn't this fast speed a bit too exaggerated?

What the hell is this chicken blood?

"This book was rushed out by Mr. Ye in a week?"

"No, that's a bit of an exaggeration."

"I know that Teacher Ye's level is high, but this level is already several ranks higher than others."

"I read most of this book yesterday 'War and Peace', and all I can say is that the artistic component of this book is simply too high. Don't discuss the length of time to complete the manuscript, it's not easy to write a book like this. I even feel that in our entire Chinese literary circle, except for Mr. Ye, no one can have this level anymore. What's more, this is still a manuscript that came out in a week. This is simply a Wenqu star descending to earth! ”

"It has to be a literary star who can manage foreign countries. This book is the background of Russia, and I really didn't expect Mr. Ye to have such a deep study of Russian history. ”

"It's just too hard."

"Moreover, you must know that Mr. Ye is good at writing traditional literature. This kind of modern type with the background of modern foreign history has never been written about by Mr. Ye before. ”

"Teacher Ye's brain is so long."

"Saying that Mr. Ye is the first person in the contemporary literary world, I am really convinced."

"Go around and around, and in the end, you have to watch Teacher Ye."

"It is indeed our luck to be able to live in the same era as Mr. Ye."

Wenyuan and Ye Luo have made an appointment, and they will meet at Wenyuan today to discuss some specific matters of this book.

Before Ye Luo came, everyone was already waiting in the conference room early.

At this time, the crowd was amazed.

There is the leadership of the Faculty of Letters.

There is also the power of the literary world.

But no matter who it is, facing Ye Luo's "War and Peace" at this time, they are all in the same mood.

It's incredible!

It didn't take long for Ye Luo to come.

As soon as he entered the room, everyone in the room stood up.

"Teacher Ye."

"Teacher Ye is sitting here."

"Mr. Ye, your book is so wonderful."

"Teacher Ye, to tell you the truth, this book is really not a draft in advance? Did you really come up with it in a week? ”

Everyone was so enthusiastic, Ye Luo just entered the door with his front foot, and his back foot was directly surrounded by people.

There are many elderly families of the New Literature Association here, and many Ye Luo have heard the name, but they have never had the opportunity to meet the real person.

"Okay, okay, let's let Mr. Ye sit down first." Sun Deyou patted the table, "Let's talk about something later." ”

Hearing Dean Sun's words, everyone gave up.

Ye Luo sat next to Dean Sun and greeted everyone one by one with a smile.

After greeting for a while, Ye Luo returned to some of the questions that everyone was curious about.

Did the book Dwarf have a manuscript before?

Is it true that the book was completed in a week?

When did you study the history of Russia?

Such questions, Ye Luo also took the trouble to answer.

"I don't have a draft, but I had an idea of that."

"Russian history? I've always been interested in history, and I've read it before. For example, I am not very proficient in Western history, but I know a little bit about it. ”

"There is no manuscript deposit, and it is indeed rushed out in a week. Speaking of which, it really tiring me out. ”

Everyone chatted with each other for a while, and the meeting officially began.

"Alright, let's not talk about anything else."

Today, President Sun Deyou personally presided over the meeting, "The current form is clear to all of you here. In this year's Johnson Literary Award, all the writers in our Chinese literary world were wiped out. In terms of the candidates and works that were submitted before, the jury all replied, and I won't say what the reason is. ”

"Whether any of our works in the Chinese literary world can be shortlisted this year depends on Mr. Ye's "War and Peace".

"If you have any good ideas and suggestions, please talk freely today. While there is still time, maybe I can give Mr. Ye some new ideas. ”

Perhaps because he was afraid that everyone would not dare to speak, Dean Sun added: "Although Mr. Ye's level is high enough, the so-called wise man must have a mistake in a thousand thoughts, and a fool must have a thousand thoughts, let's not talk about those vain things." As far as the real suggestion is concerned, this book is the last single seedling in our Chinese literary circle, and we must strive to be in the best state, so that the jury can't find any fault at all. ”

After Dean Sun finished speaking, everyone, you look at me, I look at you.

But no one spoke.

Make a suggestion?

This has to be something to suggest!

They all understood Dean Sun's words, and everyone really wanted to make this "War and Peace" reach a perfect state.

But the problem is, in everyone's opinion, the book has reached a very perfect state!

Are there any flaws in the book?

Is there anything that needs to be changed?

No!

It's no exaggeration to say that this is not at all.

Whether it is from the writing, or from the plot, theme, and idea of the whole book, this "War and Peace" is a super-first-class performance!

Even a truly world-class literary master can hardly find a single flaw.

Seeing that no one spoke, Ye Luo also spoke: "You don't have to take care of me, we are one heart now, just look at it as a person." I knew that I had been rushed out in a week at this time, and there must be something lacking in it. I hope everyone can work together, don't be afraid of offending people, I'm really not the kind of person with a small belly. I'd love anyone to give me some advice. ”

Ye Luo's words are also from the bottom of his heart, he is now carrying the entire Chinese literary world on his shoulders, and the pressure is not something that outsiders can imagine.

If anyone can really find out the problems with this book, Ye Luo is quite happy.

This book is getting better and better, that's what Ye Luo wants to see.

But alas, there is still no one to say anything about it.

"Teacher Ye, seriously, the content of this book doesn't need to be moved."

"yes, suggestion or something, I don't think it's necessary."

"I'm also saying something from the bottom of my heart, not that we care about anyone's face. If you take your 'Ye Tang series', then I really have something to say. But this book, I really find it impeccable. ”

"To be honest, just looking at the style of writing, I really wouldn't have imagined that it was written by Mr. Ye at this time. This is too different from Mr. Ye's previous works. ”

"That's true, but then again, Mr. Ye's style has actually changed a lot before. In fact, if you think about it carefully, Mr. Ye doesn't seem to have the same style of a book. Even if it is the Ye Tang series, the specific content of those books is actually very different in style. It's just that the format of the books in this series is the same, which leads to a lot of people not thinking in the direction of style. ”

"That's right, the protagonist of each book in the Ye Tang series is different, and the style of writing poetry is indeed different."

Everyone chatted and chatted, and the topic began to deviate.

Dean Sun hurriedly stopped, "Okay, okay, now is not the time to discuss the Ye Tang series." He knocked on the table, "Let's talk about War and Peace, why do you always say anything else?" No opinion, right? ”

"Hmm."

The attitude of the crowd is very unified.

"Okay, let's talk about something else."

Dean Sun said: "Now that the content has been decided, let's study the matter of publication." ”

At this time, Director Zhang of the Statistics Center said: "The publisher does not need to think about it, the main thing is the overseas sales of the book, at least it must be transliterated into English and some overseas editions released." ”

"Well, if you want to be shortlisted for the Johnson Literary Prize, translation into English is the most basic."

"I see, not only in English, but also in Russian. Although the market on the Russian side is not too large, Russia's influence is very large. Moreover, Mr. Ye's book itself is based on the background of modern Russian history, and the central theme is war, and the Russian version must definitely be available. ”

"There should be several mainstream languages in the West."

"Arabic has to be there, too, and there's chaos going on in Central Asia right now. Mr. Ye's book is estimated to cause a sensation over there. ”

At this meeting, everyone was very enthusiastic to speak, and you said a lot of things in one word.

Overall, it's a very comprehensive consideration.

"Then I am going to contact the translation experts and set up a 'special translation team' as soon as possible, and I think that the main languages of English, French, Russian, German, and Arabic will be translated first. After all, there isn't that much time left. ”

Dean Sun said, "After that, there are still a lot of things to publicize and publish for review. As he spoke, he looked at the director of the translation department of the Academy of Literature in the conference room and asked, "How long will it take for Mr. Ye to complete the translation of this book?" ”

The director thought for a moment and said, "It will take half a month at the earliest, Mr. Ye's book ......."

Before he finished speaking, Sun Deyou slapped the table angrily, "Half a month? Do you have to translate a book in half a month? It only took a week for Mr. Ye to write this book! What nonsense are you guys? Half a month is definitely not good, the time is too long, it is too late! I'll give you a week, and within a week, you have to translate to the highest standards! ”

As soon as he heard this, the director of the translation department was also quite devastated.

A week's time?

I can't do it at all!

He didn't know how Ye Luo managed to write a book in a week, anyway, they definitely couldn't translate it.

It's not just a casual translation of Chinese into a foreign language, it's literature!

This is extremely important for the faithful!

If you use the words a little incorrectly, it is very likely that the foreign language version that is not this is not so amazing!

Mr. Ye's original works are obviously of a super-first-class level, if the level drops because the translation is not in place and not exquisite, then their translation department will become a sinner in the entire Chinese literary circle.

This pot has to be carried by their translation department.

Thinking of this, the director's forehead was full of sweat, and he hurriedly shouted: "Dean, time doesn't allow it, I can't translate it in a week!" ”

"If it doesn't work, it has to work!" Sun Deyou played the power role of the dean fiercely, "I don't care about your difficulties, ah, you go and find a way for me yourself." What do you want to be a director? If you don't work hard at this time, when will you do it? ”

The director was about to cry, "It's not that I can't work hard, it's not a difficulty at all, there's no way to do it!" ”

"Don't say so much, you just say can you do it?" Sun Deyou slapped the table, angry and angry.

This director is also heartbroken, he thinks to himself, even if this director stops, I can't carry this pot!

"I ......"

He was about to speak, but he was interrupted by Ye Luo.

Ye Luo waved his hand at him, motioning for him to sit down, and then said slowly: "If it's really difficult to translate this matter, then let me try it myself." "He didn't want to care, after all, who wants to work when he can be idle?

But the current situation is not the time to be lazy.

"Huh?"

Dean Sun was stunned, "Teacher Ye, you also ...... foreign languages"

"I've learned it before, so I understand it. After all, this is a book I wrote, and it would be faster to translate. Ye Luo said.

But Dean Sun was still not at ease, "Even if you are good at English, you can't do other languages." ”

"I'll be able to speak some other languages." Ye Luo didn't say too much, "English, French, Russian, German, Arabic, well, these languages are okay." ”

After speaking, in the stunned expressions of everyone, Ye Luo also explained, "Don't look at me like that." You know, I was originally a host. The host knows a lot of foreign languages, which is a normal thing. ”

Sun Deyou looked confused, looked at a director next to him, and asked in a daze, "Is this normal?" ”

The director was also confused, his brain was a little unresponsive, and he mechanically followed Ye Luo's words and said, "It should be normal, right?" Host, you know more foreign languages......" he swallowed, "It seems normal." ”

Ye Luo didn't dwell on this issue, but said to the director of the translation department: "This matter is still too slow for me to rely on, and I will need everyone's cooperation when the time comes." ”

The director immediately stood upright, "Teacher Ye, don't worry, our entire department is on call!" At this moment, he looked at Ye Luo's eyes, it was like seeing light in the darkness.

"This ......"

Sun Deyou and the others, their brains were dizzy, and their faces were full of question marks.

It wasn't until seven days later that Ye Luo put the English, French, Russian, German, Japanese, Arabic and other seven Chinese versions of "War and Peace" in front of their eyes, and everyone was completely shocked to say nothing.

It's not that I don't want to say it, but I don't know what to say.

Even if you write a book ridiculously fast, you still bring your own translation? The point is, the translation is so fast and outrageously fast?

It's just outrageous, it's outrageous, it's outrageous!
