Reborn 1990: I made my cannon fodder father into the richest man

"Mr. Duan, the first volume of "The End of the World" has topped this week's book sales list over there!" Liang Tian faxed Duan Jiajia: "This is the message from Corentus. I just I checked and found that this list was made by a newspaper in Chou Country. It collects the sales data of major bookstores within a week, ranks the sales of the week, and publishes it. This list is quite authoritative there. "

The corners of Liang Tian's smile turned up, wishing she could grin up to her ears.

If she remembered correctly, the total sales of "The End of the World" in Ugly Country were less than two weeks.

It reached the top in the second week. This is rarely the case even for books written by local authors in Chou Country.

Generally, only well-known writers who have already produced famous works receive such treatment.

Duan Jiajia's previous works have not been released in Chou Country, and he is a real newcomer there.

To achieve this result, just think about how much effort Corentus put in.

Duan Jiajia still knows something about herself.

Her progress in this book has definitely surpassed that of "Ask the Sword".

The two books "Goddess Catcher" and "Happy Enemies" are only improvements in rhythm, but they are not very novel.

It can be said that it was the series "Ask the Sword" that allowed Duan Jiajia to practice how to create a huge world view, in which the protagonist and supporting characters collide and trigger the plot. The next two books exercised Duan Jiajia's ability to control the rhythm of the plot.

When it comes to "The End of Time", it feels like a master.

But to say that this book is particularly good would not be wrong.

Duan Jiajia has also read the English translation of the book.

Probably because of the language, even if Duan Jiajia can understand the original text, once he is familiar with the Chinese environment and Chinese descriptions, the English translation is a straightforward translation for Duan Jiajia, and the reading taste is far inferior to the Chinese version.

Just by comparing it with other original English books, Duan Jiajia could feel that Corentus really took this project to heart and focused on it.

The translator's writing ability is probably not bad. After comparing similar content, Duan Jiajia felt that his English version was better even if it was translated directly.

"Really?" Now that he heard about being number one on the sales list, Duan Jiajia raised his eyebrows and said, "Make an appointment for me and I'll call Mr. Robert. To achieve this result, he has put in a lot of effort."

No matter how well a book is translated, if there is no publicity, the aroma of the wine will be lost.

Although Corentus also intended to use Duan Jiajia's book to divert his attention, as the most direct beneficiary, Duan Jiajia was not so shameless.

It is not easy to make a marketing plan or do marketing at such a critical time.

Corentus is indeed very reliable.

Maybe there is a possibility of cooperation between "Asking the Sword" and other books.

I just estimate that I may not get such good treatment next time.

Duan Jiajia was also lucky this time.

It happened that Corentus was unlucky and needed a powerful work and gimmick to divert their attention.

Liang Tian obviously thought of this and nodded quickly: "I'll go right away."

Liang Tian's work efficiency was very high. Considering the time difference, Duan Jiajia contacted Robert the next morning.

The time opposite is eight o'clock in the evening.

First I thanked Robert, and then exchanged a few words.

Don’t think that foreigners don’t know how to communicate when doing business.

When they want to make detours, their minds are also spinning very fast.

Although the cultures are different, the pursuit of interests is the same.

"Duan, I accept your thanks, but the current results are also due to the confidence and quality of your works. Otherwise, no matter how much we promote, it will be useless."

Robert looked at the night outside, put one hand in his trouser pocket, waved to his family, and then said: "Duan, actually if you don't call me, I will contact you. I know that you have another work in the works." It sells very well in Asia. It's just that I've been thinking about whether this Eastern element can be understood by people here."

Xian Xia.

Robert had the first half of the first volume of "Ask the Sword" translated.

He liked the plot, but there were many words in it that he couldn't describe in English, which made him confused.

Although "The End of Time" is set in a doomsday setting, the words and most of the props are understandable to modern times, so translation is not that difficult.

"Duan, do you want to take on a challenge?" Robert, as the leader of the project "The End of Time", relied on this project to successfully gain more interests in the group.

He is indeed the boss's assistant and subordinate, but that doesn't mean Robert has no ambition.

He and his boss have the same goal now.

Everyone hopes that Corentus can be better.

It's just on this basis that Robert wants to gain more benefits and achievements for himself.

In this way, he can have more say in the group.

Duan Jiajia on the other end of the phone was also surprised.

She didn't expect Robert to bring it up himself.

Originally, Duan Jiajia was still struggling with how to propose to Robert about collaborating on other books.

"Okay." Duan Jiajia agreed: "I quite want to challenge."

Duan Jiajia also knew the situation raised by Robert.

"Let's do this. I'll contact the domestic translator to translate it into English. You may not know the specific meaning of many words. Let our translator do it, and the effect should be better than yours."

For example, "inner alchemy", "primordial spirit", and "ascension" are all very familiar to Chinese people.

As long as you have watched mythological dramas or listened to folklore, most people can understand what is going on.

But in Western culture, these are cultures that do not exist.

To use their language to tell them an Eastern culture is a great test of the translator's ability.

"Of course, that's great." Robert was filled with joy.

Duan Jiajia agreed to his proposal and took the initiative to solve the problem. Robert felt that he was going smoothly during this period.

In the words of Eastern metaphysics, it means that the East is particularly prosperous for him.

Robert even wondered whether he should investigate the Eastern market more.

Maybe we can find other good writers?

Corentus had just made a comeback, and it was a time when writers were scarce.

Those writers who defected as soon as the Corentus incident happened, although in the face of interests, both Robert and the boss felt that they could re-sign if they were not too outrageous.

But the contract must be changed.

But I definitely felt uncomfortable.

If they can sign other writers, this will also be a very beneficial situation for them.

It can also be shown to the outside world that Corentus will not be easily shaken even in the storm.
