There are several unread emails lying in Robin's mailbox.
After excluding advertisements, credit cards and daily emails asking for information about Helian, she opened the first one,
This email is in English. A French publishing house wants to purchase the French publishing rights of "84 Charing Cross Street". This is what Robin expected. She estimates that German, Japanese, etc. will also be tried in the future.
Talk about the copyright of this book.
After a book becomes popular, a publishing house will try to negotiate the copyright of the book. Even if they don't publish it for the time being, holding the copyright in their hands is just occupying space and hurting competitors. If the negotiation cannot be reached, talk slowly
That’s it.
The same goes for her publishing house.
If a best-selling book is published in the English market and they think it is good, or if there is news on the Chinese-language Internet, they will try to get in touch with it. If there are few competitors and the price is right, they will buy it first, and then start arranging to apply for a book number and translate it.
Waiting for something.
But to Robanne's expectation, the person who bought the French rights for this book was Dyer Publishing Group. This publishing group is quite famous and is one of the top publishing groups in the French-speaking world. It has just acquired the American independent publishing house Edifier.
.
Robinette couldn't help but be a little excited that such a powerful publishing house had taken a liking to "84 Charing Cross Street".
Well, not a little bit, but quite a surprise.
The overseas publishing rights are all in the hands of Susan's publishing house. They have a dedicated overseas copyright purchasing manager. In order to promote this book, Robenny took on this part-time job because she happened to have connections in the English publishing industry. She no longer needs it.
She responded to the client's emails one after another, and pushed the emails to the copyright manager for them to contact.
As for the second letter, it is a bit interesting.
This is a film and television company. They want to buy the film and television adaptation rights of "84 Charing Cross Street". This surprise is even bigger than the surprise just now. The film and television industry is very influential compared to the sluggish publishing industry.
If it can be adapted into a movie and TV show, and it is successful, then it is not impossible for this book to be on the best-seller list.
It's a pity that the film and television adaptation rights are not in the hands of the publisher.
Robini replied to their email and forwarded the email to Susan, asking Susan to tell Li Yu that this would have to be discussed by Li Yu and the others.
It just so happened that the next email was from Susan.
After she opened it, the first thing she saw was the words "prosecution" and "lawyer", which made her heart skip a beat. She had no choice. She had just gone through a divorce lawsuit, and what she was most afraid of was seeing these words.
.
However, after seeing the content of the lawsuit, I feel that this is reasonable.
Li Yu doesn't care much about the copyright income brought by this book. The loss of reputation caused by the publishing house's slutty operation is what she values most now, so Li Yu wants the publishing house to make a public correction and
Apologize.
Robini thought that after all, it was her fault. Due to various reasons in life, she failed to follow up and correct in time. After promoting and publishing in the publishing house, she discovered that the publishing house had made such a big mistake.
.
Looks like I need to see a lawyer.
After considering the matter, Robbins re-read the email, and then found that the email was only about a paragraph about the lawsuit, and the rest was all about praising a book.
Covering it up, Robin thought she was talking about a famous novel.
The key point is that this book was written by an anonymous person.
It's the anonymous person that Robbins was praising just now.
Robini's heart started to move. She opened the document and was about to read it, but she felt something was wrong. She took out the wine and poured herself a glass and put it in front of the table. Then she started to move the mouse down. The beginning of this book is very special: "Dedicated to me"
"Children are dedicated to all children in this world, as well as adults (all adults are initially children)".
Is this a failure dedicated to your own children?
Hopefully it was just a false alarm.
She prayed in her heart and continued to scroll down. She didn't feel it at this time, but when she saw the paragraph "When I was six years old, I saw a very beautiful painting in a book -" Luo
Penny suddenly realized that this was a fairy tale book.
No wonder it is dedicated to children.
Robinie was a little disappointed. It wasn't that the fairy tale book was not good, but that she had put her expectations on stories like love. The love that may or may not exist in "84 Charing Cross Street" has never been seen.
The regret is not necessarily love, but like many great love stories, it is regret after all, and it is very touching.
However, Anonymous's style changed so quickly that she almost missed her waist.
What's more, Robinette herself is not the audience for fairy tales.
She continued to scroll down and saw the hand-drawn painting. After reading this short chapter and seeing the criticism of growth, she suddenly felt that it was interesting. She was a translator, and what attracted her most to this chapter was that the text was very clean, even
It is pure, natural and friendly to read, and uses clear language to tell the meaningful content. It makes people feel that this fairy tale is not childish and is easy to read.
Robin took a sip of wine to celebrate, then sat upright and continued reading.
This book is well written and well versed in the narrative structure of classical drama. The beginning is foreshadowing; the middle chapters are about the encounter and interaction between the protagonist and the little prince. This is development. At this stage, the author starts from the sheep, the planet where the little prince lives.
, the bread tree builds a world unique to fairy tales.
but--
Robin gradually realized that this book was by no means a fairy tale.
In Chapter 4, she saw that when the asteroid B612 was discovered by a Turkish astronomer, the astronomer presented his discovery at the International Astronomical Congress, but no one believed him, and later put on a European
When Clothes recounted his story again, this time everyone accepted his evidence.
Robin blinked. This seemed a bit like a satire on the publication of "84 Charing Cross Street". Many publishing houses simply didn't read the book when they heard it was written by a Chinese, and later mistakenly thought it was edited.
Letters from Westerners became popular.
interesting.
Robin took a sip of wine.
When reading this book, there was a kind of poetic melancholy and a touch of sadness shrouding it, which made her feel that something was wrong, but she couldn't see anything wrong.
She thought this was just a fairy tale book. Could it be that there was a life-or-death situation that could break people's defenses?
That anonymous name is nothing.
The teasing about adults and the world here is quite light-hearted and worth a sip.
Then--
"Forty-Four Sunsets of Sorrow."
good.
"If someone falls in love with a flower, there are billions of stars in the sky, and this flower only grows on one of them, which is enough to make him feel happy when he looks up at the stars."
A little bit makes me feel sad.
Robinie felt that the taste was not right, and the wine tasted sour.
When she left her homeland and came here, it was because of her ex-husband that she felt very happy when she set foot here.
Then, Robinette saw the arrogant, sensitive and vain Rose torturing the little prince.
She stopped holding the wine glass in her hand.
Rose and the little prince are very much like her and her ex-husband.
She is arrogant and doesn't talk about love easily. She clearly cares about the other person but never says it out loud.
She is sensitive because she works at home and has no contact with outsiders or her own social circle, so she expects her ex-husband to be by her side at all times, so that every time he goes out, every time he works overtime, every time he invites guests to dinner, he has to think wildly and find various excuses.
She called him for some reason to ask him to come back, but she didn't say that she wanted him to come back early. Instead, she waited for him to come back late. She became angry and tormented him in strange ways.
You clearly need it but don't say it.
Obviously I can tolerate loneliness, but I just can’t bear the loneliness of not being around you when we are together without mentioning it.
She is so similar to this rose. Even if they are separated, her separation is very much like the separation of the little prince and the rose. She is vain and does not bow her head. Even if she is covered in blood and feathers, she still has to prove that in this marriage war
, she is the winner.
However, how can there be a winner in a failed marriage?
