What Should I Do If the System Forces Me To Copy Books?

September 25, Yanjing International Airport.

As the central hub connecting the capital to countries around the world, the number of daily passengers also ranks first in the country.

The venue of the "Golden Bookmark Award" is set in Shanghai, so Li Chungang is completely familiar with it this time. Even Luo Wen only has one suitcase. This is because Luo Wen was dragging a suitcase when he came to Yanjing.

Although its influence is not very loud in the world, it is already the highest honor that physical book publishing can obtain in China, mainly because the relationship between China and the surrounding countries is a bit stiff, and they all look down on each other. of such awards.

Thompson Hayden strolled along the Bund in Shanghai alone with a film camera.

Although the night view of the Bund is so charming, he couldn't enter Thompson's mind at this time, because all kinds of worries were bothering him.

He's a literary publishing editor who ranks at Penguin Random House, the world's best-known English-language business publishing house, and has words that matter.

The well-known and famous literary works "Journey to the Center of the Earth", "Three Thousand Miles Fast" and "Skynet" that once sold well all over the world were published all over the world through his hand...

However, all this has become a thing of the past three months ago.

It is impossible for a person to be lucky all his life. There will always be times of bad luck. Obviously, for Thompson, the duration of this bad luck will last a little longer. In the pit, the result of several large-scale shots in a row is nothing at all!

It is so cruel in the world of capitalists. No matter how much glory you have achieved, when you make mistakes and make mistakes again and again, the top management of Penguin Random House will no longer endure Thompson's wrong choice in the quagmire and directly assign him to "Frontier" , transferred to the Penguin Random House branch in Shanghai, China.

Why is it said that being assigned to China is equivalent to being assigned to the frontier? The biggest reason lies in the cultural and geographical gap between China and European and American countries, coupled with the breadth and depth of Chinese characters, the same words can be used in different places. The same meaning, which caused a great obstacle to translation into English.

Therefore, until now, it is not uncommon for Chinese-Americans to write Western fantasy publishing successfully, but domestic works have been translated into English and published abroad, and no one has been spared!

It's been three months since he came to Shanghai, and Thompson doesn't know what happened to him, let alone finding books worthy of Penguin Random House. Now, just learning Chinese can make him want to die every day.

If you don't understand Chinese, you can't better understand the works in China. If you don't understand the works in China, you can't find good works to publish. If you can't find good works to publish, how can he return to the US headquarters? dream.

In addition to reading literature, Thompson's biggest hobby in his life is a film camera. He likes the process of shooting on film and then cleaning out the photos. That's why he always likes to take it with him wherever he goes. A film camera, just to be able to take pictures of things worth taking at any time.

"Hey~ If this goes on, when will I be able to return to the United States..."

The consumption concept in the United States is very different from that in China. They rarely make planned savings. In addition, Thompson has a mortgage to pay back in the United States and a family to support. The Random House publishing and editing profession cannot be abandoned.

Mountain darkly, vista.

The east is not bright, the west is bright.

Just when Thompson was at a loss and didn't know how to open up the situation in China, a subordinate of Penguin Random House China Branch told him that tonight would be the moment when the "Golden Bookmark Award", the most grand event in the physical book publishing industry in China, would be held. , suggest him to go and see.

"Since I haven't learned how to distinguish between good and bad Chinese books, I will choose the ones that have already been recognized!"

After hearing this, Thompson's eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought of an excellent solution. It is true that 99% of his literary works cannot be understood at his current Chinese level, but it does not prevent others from understanding, especially A work that can win the "Golden Bookmark Award" must be an excellent author.

In this case, he directly picked the "ready-made fruit" and chose to translate the best works of China into English and bring them to Europe and the United States. The success rate is not as high as the dog's eye can see.

Of course, this "Golden Bookmark Award" award night, Thompson decided to go, but it is impossible to go unprepared like this. It is necessary to bring a translator at least. This candidate naturally falls to remind him of "Golden Bookmark". Award" to employees.

And this employee's name is Yu Hongming, who happens to be a native of Shanghai.

at dusk.

"Wife, how do I look like this, handsome or not."

"Handsome handsome, hurry up, don't let people wait for you!"

Rowan made a good show in front of his wife that he was about to walk the red carpet, and then he came to the downstairs of the Hilton Hotel where Li Chungang lived in a Rolls-Royce Wraith full of energy.

Don't get me wrong, Rowan doesn't have the money to buy a Rolls-Royce Wraith. Even if he has money, he won't be willing to buy it. In the eyes of a 30-year-old Gu family man, the value of a car is depreciated. It's still a house.

This Rolls-Royce Wraith was rented back by Rowan from the car rental company a week in advance, and the driver of the car was a "gift" from the car rental company.

"Golden Bookmark Award", "Golden Record Award" and "Golden Man Award" are the three most watched and most important awards of China Entertainment, and they attract much attention every time they are held.

It is not necessary for him to be a literary agent, but Li Chungang is not. It is not a question of whether it is extravagant or wasteful. It is a kind of withdrawal of identity and status.

Believe it or not, if the two of them randomly call a car to walk the red carpet at the "Golden Bookmark Awards" site, there will be media coverage immediately:

"Well-known web writers earn tens of millions a month, and they all rely on taxis to travel."

"The nominated author of the 'Golden Bookmark Award' arrived at the scene by taxi to Chunzhigang."

"…"

It is less than ten minutes before the "Golden Bookmark Award" entry begins. At this time, all kinds of "long guns and short cannons" and countless reporters and photographers have been erected on both sides of the red carpet outside the door. Looking at tonight's awards, his eyes are always on the front of the red carpet.

The closer it gets to the entrance time, the more energetic they have to be, because someone may come to the entrance early at any time.

News news is reflected in the word "new", and outdated news loses its value!

"I don't know if there will be a big star tonight."

"It is said that the organizer has invited a lot of celebrities in the entertainment industry, and there are many live surprises to be announced tonight!"
