Robini called her friends at the publishing house and asked them to check it, and then checked it on her mobile phone.
She likes this book very much. She thinks that everyone who likes books will like this book. This book is bound by books and spans twenty years. It is fascinating and sad. This is a romance for readers.
However, she found almost no relevant information in English on her mobile phone. However, she searched in Chinese and found a lot of information, but these books were all related to one person - Li Yu!
She had listened to Li Yu's songs when he first debuted. She was still in China at that time, and she was not star-chasing, but it was difficult to know what Li Yu was like at that time. Entertainment news was overwhelmingly filled with news about Li Yu. A street passed by
, all playing Li Yu songs, even the aunts who sell fish and buy fish will sing Li Yu songs, and also sing about what dishes to eat with the fish they bought today.
She knew that Li Yu had a title: "The Great Demon King."
"To my great devil..."
Luo Beini felt confused, could this book be written for Li Yu?
She heard from domestic editors that Li Yu had quit the entertainment industry for a long time, why did he suddenly appear now? Could it be that he was in a relationship and met a foreign boyfriend. This boyfriend wrote a book and gave it to Li Yu.
Has this become popular in the Chinese speaking circle?
Robin thought this was really bloody.
However, she felt it was impossible. To write this book, one must not only have literary accomplishments, but also have rich experience and reading experience. Not to mention the books in the book that she had never heard of, just the ones in it.
Many of the books he had heard of were from the mid-19th century and had to be read by old book lovers. How could such a person be in the position to write a book as she wanted.
Just when Robin was thinking wildly, the car stopped and the driver said: "We've arrived at No. 84 Charing Cross Street."
Robinie got out of the car and looked up.
What appeared in front of her was not a bookstore, but a fast food restaurant.
"Well--"
Robinie stood there, stunned for a few minutes, feeling as if the soap bubble of a dream was being popped.
"Maybe it used to be a bookstore?"
Robin went in to inquire, then went to the neighbors of the fast food restaurant to inquire, and even called local friends to inquire. However, the information they received was that there had never been a bookstore with books here. What they found was that, in view of the
There are many bookstores on this street. During that time, this store may have been a bookstore, but the name of the bookstore is not the name of "Max and Cohen Bookstore" in the book, nor is it a bookstore specializing in out-of-print books and ancient books. It is possible to operate based on the name.
It is an engineering professional book.
Robin sighed.
She should have thought long ago that although this book is an epistolary and the writing is close to reality, a novel is still a novel after all.
Her cell phone rang.
Her foreign friend from the publishing house told her an even more surprising news: there is no book "84 Charing Cross Street" published on the market. In other words, the Chinese on her mobile phone is the most important one in the world.
The first appearance of birth.
"It also--"
Robin felt it was so incredible.
But the most important thing now is to get the book in her hands. She hurriedly sent a message to the editor in China, "The copyright is domestic. This book should not be a foreign work."
The editor was just about to get off work when she replied to Robney with the words "Good guy."
Luo Beini suggested that the publishing house must win the publishing rights of this book. She felt that this book had a large market abroad and she could act as an agent and recommend it to friends of the publishing house.
The editor said she would contact the leader Susan.
It was she who led Susan to be optimistic about its prospects and asked her to consult Robin about this book.
However, "84 Charing Cross Street" now only appears on Li Yu's Weibo. If Susan wants to contact the author, she can only contact Li Yu. Li Yu's Weibo cannot be contacted, and Susan has no clue.
At that time, I discovered the most miserable official account of Koi Studio and found the email contact information on Weibo. Susan sent a sincerely worded email on behalf of the publishing house.
When Sister Chen saw this email, it was already the next morning.
The publishing house where Susan works is also a well-known publishing house.
Sister Chen said that fortunately Xu Guangzheng acted quickly and came with her yesterday to sign a contract with Li Yu. If it had been a little later, there would have been competitors. But as far as she knew, this publishing house specializes in publishing foreign translated works.
of.
How can I get involved in this novel now?
She replied to the other party by email and informed him that the publishing matter had been handed over to another publishing house.
Susan replied quickly.
She asked if the foreign publishing rights for "84 Charing Cross Street" were still in the hands of the author.
Susan's publishing house has many cooperations with foreign publishing houses. Now that it has obtained foreign publishing authorization, it can not only cooperate with foreign publishing houses, but also act as an agent. It is a business after all.
Since we have lost the domestic copyright, we have to win this piece of cake quickly and accurately.
Sister Chen was startled.
What is the situation? The Big Devil has not yet broken out of the Chinese-speaking world, and the Big Devil's husband has left first? Of course, this is just a joke. The foreign publishing rights are granted and the foreign publication is still far away.
She answered no.
He negotiated this contract,
Susan said she would come over now to talk more.
Sister Chen sent her the address and got up to look for Li Qingning, but found that Li Qingning hadn't come yet.
It was almost noon when Li Qingning arrived at the company.
Sister Chen followed her into the office: "Why did you arrive at this hour?"
Li Qingning said she got up late.
Her little man gave her a lot of trouble yesterday. After Jiang Yang went to work in the morning, she fell asleep again. After waking up, she practiced Pilates for a while, and then slowly walked to the company.
Sister Chen sat opposite her, "It seems that only your husband can make you arrive at the company early."
Li Qingning came not too early yesterday morning.
She told Li Qingning, "Susan from the publishing house will come back later to discuss Jiang Yang's book with you."
Li Qingning was puzzled, "Hasn't it been handed over to your publishing house?"
"This time it is authorized for foreign publication."
Sister Chen said that she had already gotten to know Xu Guangzheng, and that she was familiar with it at home and had some knowledge of the publishing house. When the time comes, she would ask the cooperative law firm to send a copyright lawyer over, and it would be almost done.
While they were chatting, Susan arrived.
After standing in front of Li Qingning, Susan realized that the beauty of Li Qingning she saw on TV was not one-tenth as beautiful as reality. At least the pair of long, shapely and straight legs in jeans was something Susan had never seen on TV.
, or ignored, Susan secretly exclaimed "legs", this body can be a super model.
After they shook hands and exchanged pleasantries, Susan said that her daughter was a carp and she had to ask the devil to sign her autograph before leaving. Then they got down to business, "Who is the author of the book "84 Charing Cross"?"
"Oh, it's my husband."
Li Qingning told him that it was not convenient for her husband to come forward and he had already signed an authorization contract giving her full responsibility.
"ah?"
This answer was beyond Susan's expectation. Li Yu got married! This is big news! Li Yu's husband is the author of the book. If this got out, it would still be a good publicity stunt. Unfortunately, the domestic publishing rights have been given away to others.
The publisher took it away.
Susan felt a little regretful.
If she had been chasing stars, she might have read this novel soon; if she hadn't asked Robney for confirmation, she might have already obtained the publishing rights of this novel; it's also her daughter's fault, she used to chase stars and couldn't wait to see them.
Tell her what celebrities eat every day; now that they are chasing stars and their idols have published books, they are still struggling to figure it out.
After a detailed discussion and a very sincere contract that was satisfactory to both parties, Susan went home with Li Yu's signature and severely criticized her daughter. A high-quality idol like the Demon King must be pursued again.
