When I am reborn in Hong Kong, I just want to lie down

In the past few days since I came to América, I only went out for two days. One time was for copyright application, and the second time was also for copyright application. The rest of the time was spent in the hotel. That day, after asking for a notebook from Zhang Shan again, I hid in the room. He didn't know what was going on inside, and asked his secretary Xiaoshi to bring him meals. Zhang Shan curiously asked his cousin Liang Xiaoshi. She only said that the boss was creating, and she didn't know the details.

On the fifth day, Li Bu invited the two of them to his room and told them the reason for inviting them.

"I got inspired a few days ago and decided to write a novel. I'm already halfway through the novel. I'd like to ask you to translate it for me. It's fifty words per thousand. I owe the manuscript fee. I'll give it to you when I get back." Li Bu told me his story. Purpose, the novel he wrote these days is from a movie. He has not seen the original work, but with his second generation experience, the storyline may not be better than the original work, but it is not much worse, but he changed the name , "Sacrificial Killing."

Plot summary: The world was destroyed after a great war, and North America was no exception. On the original ruins of North America, people built new homes, but the new regime stipulated that the 12 regions under its jurisdiction must make sacrifices every year, ranking last in contribution. of people, approximately one percent of the total population, and only one person was allowed to survive in the end.

The two of them have read this novel. The content is very simple, and they had no problem translating it. It has to be said that the education in Xiangjiang, with English as the mother tongue and those who can go to university, are basically the essence of Xiangjiang's talents. These two people are also the essence of this novel. a member of.

The three of them formed a novel assembly line factory. Sometimes Li Bu could not write as fast as he could translate. This was the result of his efforts to write for a few days, otherwise it would not have been as good as it could have been.

Ten days later, the novel was completed. Li Bu's beard was longer than his hair, and he had not seen the sun for several days. He had an unnatural paleness, which must be due to weakness and overuse of the brain.

The little secretary Liang Xiaoshi was better, after all, she was a girl, but Zhang Shan was only a little better than Li Bu, but his face was not so pale; Li Bu proposed to print out the novel tomorrow and then submit it.However, he was rejected by the two of them and wanted to rest for a few days. In Li Bu's words, young people can't bear hardships, so he felt a little embarrassed to be looked at by the two of them.

Three days after the novel was completed, after finishing the newly printed "Sacrificial Killing", the three of them began to submit their manuscripts to nearby publishing houses. Li Bu wanted to go back after signing the publishing contract for "Sacrificial Killing". Before going out, Li Bu was afraid that Some people steal the fruits of their own labor and first go to the Copyright Office to apply for copyright registration. After completing the work, they go to the publishing house.

Zhang Shan’s classmates have friends in publishing houses. After all, publishing houses also have to fight lawsuits. This walking publishing house was famous on the West Coast, but it was probably acquired or went bankrupt later. As the saying goes, there are people in the government who are easy to get things done, and a Chinese After the editor-in-chief Nian read the novel, he was full of praise for the novel, saying that the novel had connotation, depth, and profound analysis of social issues, so he decided to give a ten-point royalty.Li Bu was satisfied with the price. He was a newcomer, and the editor might be really optimistic about this book.

However, he kept in mind that this novel was a trilogy. His plan was to publish the first volume first to test the water, and then discuss the second and third volumes separately. The maximum royalties would not exceed 15%. The other party agreed. Thinking about it, he accepted the conditions proposed by Li Bu; but in the heart of the middle-aged editor, he had a high opinion of him. He was a shrewd businessman. As for the price of the novels, Li Bu suggested fifteen US dollars each. The price for three books was US$45, which was very high for three books with 21 words. When the editor heard that the other party was charging such a high price, he thought he might as well grab it, but Li Bu’s confidence in his novels infected the editor.

The two translators next to me were dumbfounded. If they were converted into Hong Kong dollars, a novel would cost [-] Hong Kong dollars. It was really sharp.They felt that it couldn't be sold at all, but both the publisher and the author recognized the price, so they couldn't say anything.

The day before returning to Hong Kong, the three of them spent two days in Hollywood and bought a lot of gifts.

Before boarding the plane, Li Bu looked back at the most developed and powerful country on the planet and made up his mind to realize his American dream when he comes back next time.

After Li Bu signed a publishing contract with Wanderer Publishing House, the publishing house began to re-edit and revise the novel and speed up its publication. This novel was very in line with the taste of the middle-aged editor. In order to get the novel published as soon as possible, the entire Publishers took action.

Li Bu and the others returned to Xiangjiang. The person who picked them up at the airport was a bald man. The bald man greeted him happily. Liang Xiaoshi next to her also greeted her. It was the first time that she had traveled so far away. She also missed her family. When she saw Daddy came up to her and immediately went over. He saw a figure staggering away from her. Her hand froze in the air. Who am I? Where am I? What have I done?She turned around and saw the bald head shaking hands and chatting happily with Li Bu and Zhang Shan. This Li Bu had taken away her daddy...

Li Bu saw the bald head coming towards him, and his little secretary also walked over quickly. He thought he could stage a scene of a father and daughter reunited after a long separation, but the bald head staggered directly and came to them. This bald head was too skinny; but he Like, his little secretary is about to explode with rage now, haha...

President Liang is very proud of himself recently. Today's Morning Post is currently selling at a stable 30 copies per day, with the possibility of hitting [-] copies per day. The first issue of Story Collection has the potential to have [-] copies. He listened to Li Bu's future plans. Six months after the release of Story Collection , will publish a single volume for half a year, and one year after its release, it will publish a single volume for a year. It is just a reprint, and you can earn two or three copies. Today's Evening News has a stable daily sales of [-] copies, which is also very impressive. In Li Bu has been away for more than two weeks, and the weekly profit has exceeded [-] yuan in net profit, more than half of which comes from advertising, and the largest contributor is the magazine Story Collection.

After picking up the three of them, they went to wash up and change clothes, and then President Liang took them to Fumanlou to treat them to a banquet and wash away the dust. Mrs. Liang was also there. She listened to Liang Sheng at home about the changes in the newspaper office, and knew that it was Li Bu's credit, and Liang Sheng deliberately wanted to match his daughter with Li Bu, a young man, and he regarded Li Bu like a mother-in-law looking after her son-in-law. At the reception banquet, he frequently served Li Bu with dishes. At the end of the banquet, Li Bu showed his true feelings and said: " Mrs. Liang, you are so kind to me, I would like to ask, do you mind having more sons?"

Liang Xiaoshi next to him blushed, Bald Liang smiled, and Zhang Shan felt that Li Buzhen stood out.

When Li Bu said next, everyone at the table stood up and left, especially the bald ones, who left angrily.
