"My God, I'm just out of English and French!"

"It's so awesome. In just a few days, I actually sold the English copyright!"

"Mom asked me why I was kneeling and browsing Weibo, the legendary Random Bookstore, don't worry about sales now."

"After finally there is an English version of Shenxia. I no longer have to worry about being pestered by British classmates to translate that story. God knows how I translated the story!"

"I feel like "Young Pi" has just been released, and it's going to be released in English. Who translated it?"

"The most awesome and hottest writer this year should be Zhang Chu."

"Why are all signed for English publishing in Chinese? There is no news about Chinese publishing yet!"

Netizens almost gave their knees. Zhang Chu couldn't stop at all. He actually signed these two copyright agreements quietly. English and French are the languages ​​that are spoken by a large number of people in the world.

Many powerful writers have worked hard for decades to sell their copyrights, but this guy looks particularly relaxed.

"Did you find out that these two novels are novels by foreigners as the protagonists. No wonder Zhang Chu had to write them under pressure. His feelings are aimed directly at the overseas market!"

"I'll just go, you didn't notice it if you didn't say it."

"No matter whether it's black and white cats, it's a good cat to catch mice. No matter who the protagonist is, the novel is good, please don't make trouble!"

"This guy is so smart, everything makes sense before."

"Business acumen is well developed, so congratulations to Zhang Chu."

"Others' freshman year is already a quasi-global writer, while mine is sleeping and playing games every day."

It is probably because of the thinking that the winner is the king. Those netizens who criticized Zhang Chu seemed to have forgotten what happened not long ago, and turned around and praised him.

Everything that a successful person does is right. If Zhang Chu had known that public opinion would be biased towards him so quickly, he would not have to spend time making emoticons or writing patriotic poems to show his ambitions.

It is better to have fun alone than to have fun. How could Nanhai Publishing Company miss such a good publicity opportunity? After all, they are the one who really got the copyright of "Young Pi" at the beginning.

However, the novel was not released after winning the award, and it was planned to promote it when it was about to be launched. Who knew that it would be taken first by Random Bookstore now!

So they quickly announced the news on the official website and Weibo official account: "Congratulations to "Youth Pi" for successfully going abroad. The simplified Chinese version will be completed in the near future. Please rest assured readers!"

The netizens crawled out of the news there, and then turned around and ran to the news here to leave a message. If they didn't read it, the people who read the comments were a little tired.

The key is, this is not over yet!

The Bay Publishing Agency Xincang is not willing to be outdone and openly admitted that he had obtained the copyright of Zhang Chu's works and would pay a high prepaid remuneration.

"The readers of the Bay are blessed. Our company has successfully obtained the traditional publishing qualifications of Zhang Chu's four works, "Detective Sherlock", "Psychological Crime", "Journey to the West Diary", and "The Fantasy Drifting of the Young Pi", and will be launched one after another in the near future!"

The shocking news is wave after wave, and there is no trend of stopping at all.

It turns out that the English version and the French version are just appetizers, and there are various desserts to follow, which directly caused a bombardment of news!

The editors of various news outlets are almost crying.

Can't you post together with your sister?

Why separate development statements!

I will issue a statement and I will post a news here, which is completely a rhythm of flooding the screen.

Not only on Weibo, but also on the homepages of various portal websites and the push of headlines directly combine these different statements and post another news.

This is the rhythm of torture to death!

If it is just this news, it will not prove that Zhang Chu is popular, and several popular topics on Weibo will take turns to take place.

...

For industry insiders, envy, jealousy and hatred are no longer enough to describe their inner feelings!

Even best-selling writers who can sell millions of copies in the mainland book market were also surprised by the news.

Nowadays, if you want to publish it easily, most of their books are sold in traditional Chinese copyrights, and a little better, you can even sell them in Korean or Thai versions.

As a result, Zhang Chu was so good that he threw out all kinds of bombs as soon as he came up, directly conquering Random Bookstore, the largest publisher in the English publishing industry. It was not just one book, but two books!

The influence of English works is much greater than that of Korean, Thai, and Japanese, not to mention that French is also used as a supplement.

When I think of BBC TV a month or two ago, all the great masters were shot in the knees.

"Have you read the news? There is news online that the French media interviewed the publishing house, and the man paid 1.5 million euros in advance!"

The best-selling writer Yuguang, who has sold over 10 million copies in his career, dropped a bomb in the group, making the originally calm QQ group lively.

"No, right? Those two books by Zhang Chu are so valuable?"

“Foreign publishers are generous!”

"I'm so faint, where is Random House?"

"I remembered my poor $100,000 advance payment. This is a big gap..."

"I feel sorry for you for a second."

"State coach, don't cry. After all, you still have 100,000 US dollars, I don't have a penny!!!"

"Who knows how much royalties are given by Random House? It's definitely not less than those in France."

"It's both a British drama and published overseas. This kid is so amazing. Whoever knows him, please bring him into the group to talk."

"I'm hesitating whether to change the agency. Menglong doesn't know what's going on. If you can push Zhang Chu, it should be fine to push me."

However, the facts are probably going to disappoint this great god. Zhang Chu’s channels were completely found by himself. Menglong Culture is the kind of pie that falls from the sky!

The 1.5 million euros exchanged for RMB is actually about 11 million, which is not too much for them, but the meaning is completely different!

What the great masters who can sell millions of copies of a book envy is the value and trust that their works are difficult to go abroad, even if they go abroad, they are just

This is a prepaid remuneration, which proves that Hachette Publishing Company is optimistic about Zhang Chu's works. Publishers will not do a loss-making business. If they are willing to pay 1.5 million euros, they must believe that Shenxia and Young Pi can make double the profits!

Overseas media are not much easier than Chinese media. They are also curious about who Zhang Chu is, and they have made so many things.

And those publishing institutions also know that everything cannot be kept confidential and must be exposed.

So the New York Times interviewed staff at the US headquarters of Random House, and half-covered and half-publicly revealed Zhang Chu's royalty rate and prepaid royalties!

"Detective Sherlock" is translated by the author Zhang Chu himself, and the first prints a 9% progressive royalty of 500,000 copies. When the global sales reach 2 million copies, you can get a 15% royalty rate. The two works total more than US$2 million in advance.

Although this series of numbers is far from the prepaid manuscript fee of up to $50 million for other writers, it is enough to surprise netizens around the world!
Chapter completed!
