Although these people moved very lightly, fifty people poured in at the entrance, which still attracted many customers who were reading and resting on the third floor.
People raised their heads in surprise and saw these people walking excitedly towards the direction of the book signing. The crowd who were originally not very interested in "Harry Potter" finally couldn't help their curiosity and began to ask the nearby service staff.
Asked questions about "Harry Potter" and other related issues, and upon the recommendation of the service staff, curiously picked up "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" to read.
And when you look at it, you can’t tell how fast time passes.
A fantasy magical world, a night of thunder and lightning, a magical messenger eagle, a thin, black-haired little boy with glasses, suffered a lot in his aunt's house, until his eleventh birthday, the little black-haired boy
The fate of the boy's life changed.
He received a mysterious letter and was invited to a fairy tale place -
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry...
When Li Qing was immersed in signing, he suddenly heard a strange murmur. He turned around and saw Liu Qin saying in confusion: "Why do I feel that there are more and more people on the third floor?"
Li Qing followed her line of sight and saw that in addition to the cafe full of people on the third floor, the bookshelf not far away was also filled with people holding books and reading.
Almost all of the books held in everyone's hands were "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".
In the distance, a group of children about ten years old were also sitting on the floor, reading the stories of "Harry Potter" with gusto.
Every child has a variety of wonderful expressions on their little face.
It can be seen that they are immersed in the magical world and cannot extricate themselves.
“Great reading atmosphere.”
Li Qing smiled and continued to sign.
If you want to get Li Qing's autograph, you must queue up on the first floor. After getting the number, you can go to the third floor in order to participate in Li Qing's autograph signing event.
Therefore, although everyone at the scene knew that Leesin, the original author of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", was signing books nearby, many people immediately disappeared when they thought of having to go downstairs to queue up, which delayed their reading time.
Lost this idea.
But there are still people who instantly become fans of "Harry Potter" after reading the books for a while. When they think that the original author is holding a book signing here, they immediately rush downstairs to get their tickets.
And more people happily bought a copy of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" after trying it out, and then left in a hurry.
Reading is contagious, and good stories are also attractive.
In this era, there are not too many novels describing the magical world like "Harry Potter", and there are even fewer that describe it so wonderfully. Therefore, when more and more people come to the third floor, they see all the
When almost everyone reads "Harry Potter", they immediately become extremely curious about this novel.
…
Four hours later, Li Qing's autograph signing in the United States officially ended.
He didn't sign many copies, about one or two thousand. Of course, the quantity is not the most important. His coming here to hold a book signing can only be regarded as a symbolic signal.
As he was being escorted by security personnel and preparing to leave, on the street outside the Barnes & Noble bookstore, an American man with a big beard suddenly rushed into the security guards of the temple and shouted loudly: "Hey, Leesin,
When will "The Three-Body Problem" be updated?"
Because Li Qing publicly rejected the invitation of the President of the United States and even made some remarks about "kidnapping" Kennedy, "Three-Body" was completely banned in the United States.
Now that the ban has been lifted, some fans of "The Three-Body Problem" at that time immediately posted in the "Science Fiction World" again, hoping to ask experts to help translate the English version of "The Three-Body Problem".
However, except for the original Chinese Liu Yukun, no one did this kind of voluntary labor.
The most important thing is that there are no netizens who are proficient in Chinese and English translation in the forum, and there is no one who is as proficient in Chinese and American culture as Liu Yukun. Even if someone can barely translate it, it will be quite different from the previous text translation, which is very exciting.
reduce.
Nowadays, "Harry Potter" has become famous in Europe and the United States, and with it, "The Three-Body Problem", which was previously translated by Li Qing, has also entered people's eyes.
Some people don't know that "The Three-Body Problem" is released in Chinese, and they don't know that the English version is only privately translated by netizens. Therefore, when they were halfway through watching it on the Internet, they found that "The Three-Body Problem" stopped abruptly.
, immediately left many readers scratching their heads anxiously.
I want to urge updates, but I don’t know where to start. After all, the original author is from China...
Today, after hearing the news that Li Qing came to the United States to hold a book signing, some readers of "The Three-Body Problem" came to ask.
Li Qing turned his head slightly, waved to the bearded man with a smile, and then got into the car arranged by Scholar Publishing House.
"Leesin, congratulations on the success of your first US book signing."
In the car, Doris, who was sitting in the passenger seat, came back to her senses, stretched out her hand to Li Qing, and smiled: "Then our company has one more thing that we want to discuss with you."
"What's going on?" Li Qing asked.
"It's about the Three-Body Problem."
Doris blinked: "We would like to sign with you the rights to publish the English version of "The Three-Body Problem"."
Li Qing smiled: "You shouldn't talk to me about this matter. I'm just a writer. Regarding distribution rights and other related issues, you can contact my company. Oh, there is one more thing I want to tell you, "
I have fully entrusted the translation rights of "The Three-Body Problem" to a Chinese magazine called "Contemporary Literary Circle". You can contact their boss Guo Rui to discuss this matter."
Doris was stunned for a long time, then smiled: "Okay, I took note of it, so are you planning to leave New York today?"
"Yes." Li Qing said.
"Going back to China?"
Doris asked with great interest: "Maybe I can join you. Our editor-in-chief has called me. I can go to China with you at any time to discuss the relevant copyrights of "The Three-Body Problem". Of course, in the end,
What’s important is the distribution rights for the fourth installment of Harry Potter, and we want to work directly with you.”
Scholar Publishing House bought the distribution rights of the "Harry Potter" trilogy from Blooms Publishing House. Now they want to bypass Blooms Publishing House and directly sign a contract with Li Qing, which is considered convenient.
Both parties have drawn into each other's relationship.
Li Qing thought for a while and finally shook his head: "I'm going to fly to Seattle later."
Seattle?
Doris looked puzzled, but in the end she didn't ask any more questions and quietly sent Li Qing and others to the hotel.
"I have made an appointment with the general manager of Amazon Bookstore to express our intention to come, and he is very welcome."
In the hotel elevator, Liu Qin looked at the calm Li Qing, paused, and continued: "There's just one thing I don't understand. Do we need to invest in this online bookstore?"
In Liu Qin's view, Li Qing is already successful enough and has a relatively large business in China. Now he wants to set up industry in the United States...
For the first time, Liu Qin couldn't understand what Li Qing wanted to do.
Even if you plan to invest in the American entertainment industry in advance, it is too strange to invest in an online bookstore!
"Of course it's necessary."
Li Qing smiled slightly and said no more words. His mysterious appearance immediately aroused the curiosity of Xue Yan, Liu Qin and others.
