Chapter 689
"Is this song title translated incorrectly?"
Zhou Kang asked carefully. As an English substitute, Zhang Chu didn't understand the meaning of the song before. .
In addition, he has enough confidence in Zhang Chu's English ability, so he has never questioned the name at all.
Now Zhang Chu is not the only one in the world who can understand English, and netizens questioned it at this time.
Facing this question, Zhang Chu yawned and said, "Actually, that statement is not wrong. Grammatically, it is translated into wood, but after it is translated into a forest, the entire artistic conception has become much higher!"
Zhou Kang patted his head and said helplessly: "You are playing with fire, boy. Now, the old song of the Beatles is soaring on various music charts in China, but the translation name you see is wrong."
"It's not that serious. It doesn't matter what the name of this song is. What's important is the content of the novel. You may not be able to see the content of the new book yet. When you see the content, you will think that the name is very appropriate!"
Zhang Chu also knew that this was indeed an inevitable thing. Even if he did not disclose the English translation, readers would definitely find out at that time.
Instead of being exposed at that time to affect reputation, it is better to show it out now, just to lower expectations.
Nowadays, publishers, readers and many netizens have given him myths, and they are increasingly illusioned that they are about to be long-lasting. This is simply not right for a literary and artistic love novel!
Everyone lowered their expectations first, and then waited for the novel to be published before they found that the quality was good, which greatly improved the feeling that exceeded expectations.
Zhou Kang spread his hands and said, "How many words are you going to write for this book? Could it be that you want to write a long work, right?"
"No, it's just a single book, at most more than 200,000 words, just like an ordinary book."
"Since it is a romance novel, I think its film and television copyright will definitely become a hot commodity. What film and television companies like the most is modern love stories."
Zhou Kang has already begun to look forward to it, and the market needs excellent stories to adapt.
The market for modern romance TV series or movies is very broad, close to everyone's life. The previous movie "Ex-3" directly made a lot of tears and box office, which is even more profitable than most box office blockbusters!
Similarly, such film and television works require little investment, and are typically low-cost and high-income.
Zhang Chu showed a strange smile, "This novel is probably not suitable for filming and becoming a film and television work. You will know when you look at it."
"You have to read your new book by saying a thousand words, and say that everything else is versatile."
Good books may be temporarily buried, but they will never be immersed in the sea of books forever, especially for authors like Zhang Chu who pay high attention!
...
Daniel is an ordinary American college student. His life is not as easy as people imagine. He has really lost a lot of energy in order to get into Brown University, and he still has not relaxed after he arrived at university.
This is the most competitive school in the United States, with very few students. He is studying in religious studies and has fully felt the impact of "The Da Vinci Code".
The relatives, friends and classmates were talking about this novel, the professors in class were analyzing the impact of this book, and their group assignments were also made related presentations with the students!
Originally, Daniel was still enjoying the fun of reading, but when reading was linked to homework, he began to vaguely reject the "Da Vinci Code".
No matter how well it is written, you still have to rack your brains to conceive and analyze.
For this reason, Daniel remembered the name Zhang Chu, rather than calling Cheng Chu-Zhang according to European and American customs.
Daniel followed a lot of news media on Twitter, and also downloaded Google News, so that he can connect with the world.
When he woke up from a hangover headache, his throat was particularly painful. He got out of bed and went to the kitchen to receive a glass of cold water and drank it all before he came back and poured it on the bed.
I was clearly awake, but I didn’t think about it, and I didn’t even feel like taking a shower!
Daniel held his phone up. He first watched the short nightclub video posted by himself and others on instagram last night, and then noticed the news on Twitter.
[Zhang Chu's new book is inspired by the Beatles' "Norwegian Forest"!]
The simple title surprised Daniel slightly. In the United States, the Beatles have a great influence. His father and even his ancestors especially like the Beatles.
However, as a mixed-race boy, Daniel likes rap music more, such as Drake, Malone, Lear Wayne, etc., of course, various DJ songs are indispensable. As for Eminem who was earlier, it seems that his influence among the younger generation is limited.
Daniel was quite curious. A Chinese writer actually drew inspiration from the songs of a British legendary band. It seemed that he had never heard of this song!
With curious thoughts, Daniel opened the spotify app, then searched for the Beatles song, and clicked to listen.
spotify is an authentic streaming music platform. Almost all singer music can be listened to here. Even if you don’t spend money, you can enjoy authentic treatment, so there are many supporters.
Some popular songs can even reach more than one billion views, which shows how many users are!
At this time, "The Forest of Norway" had only a few million views on spotify, which was not easy for an old song from the 1970s.
Many songs in the 2000s have only played this level.
Daniel was a little confused by the soothing rhythm and British accents, which was completely different from the type of music he usually liked!
"It's okay, the story inside is quite interesting." Daniel pursed his lips, then couldn't help but humming softly.
This song only takes two minutes, so it cycles very quickly. In addition, the lyrics are not too difficult, so he learned it quickly!
Thanks to Zhang Chu's new name effect and global media reports, the Beatles' song "The Forest of Norway" quickly spread from hardcore fans to the majority of Internet users.
The number of free streaming media views is increasing. In Apple's genuine itunes song download, this song, who is already in his forties or fifties, has rejuvenated. It has surpassed the new songs of popular singers and appeared in the top 100 download lists in different countries!
