Cultural Scholar: Famous in the World from the Universal History

The book "The Old Man and the Sea" is not a lot of words, and it only adds up to 50,000 words.

So it didn't take Qin Wen too much effort.

After carefully checking it several times, Qin Wen sent the book to Jiangshi Publishing House.

At the same time, he also sent a message to Guan Lei:

"The new book is finished, it's a novella, it's been translated into a bilingual version, and I hope to publish it worldwide, at least in the White Eagle Bond......

When Guan Lei received this message, he was a little confused for a while.

"Teacher Qin Wen has written a new book so soon?!".

"It's just a novella, and it's okay, I'll just say how can one person write so many books in such a short time!".

If you count this new book, Qin Wen has already written three books in one year!

The speed of creation is truly astonishing.

Even if other writers can take the same kind of action, there is no guarantee of the quality of the work.

But Qin Wen is a strange figure in the literary world.

Even though the creation speed is fast, the quality has not dropped at all.

"The Universe" and "Three Kingdoms" are excellent works.

"But...... He said that he had already written a bilingual version, and Qin Wen's foreign language was so good, or did he find someone to translate?!".

Guan Lei thought about it for a while and didn't understand, so he didn't think about it anymore, and only waited for Qin Wen's new book to arrive.

The next day.

Guan Lei received Qin Wen's new book.

He carefully placed the manuscript on the table, almost as if he were protecting a cherished animal.

No way.

Qin Wen is his nobleman.

If it weren't for Qin Wen, he wouldn't even think about his bonuses, benefits, promotions, or anything.

"Lao Guan, ...... are you?"

The colleague on the side saw him like this and was curious.

Guan Lei didn't explain much, just smiled faintly, pointed to the manuscript on the table and said, "Qin Wen's new book!"

Hiss~

"Got it, got it!".

The colleague nodded hurriedly, with uncontrollable envy in his eyes.

This Guan Lei is really lucky, why didn't Qin Wen's "Huanyu" be seen by him at that time.

If you see it yourself, then isn't this bonus and benefit also rising?

Guan Lei enjoyed the envious gaze from his colleagues for a while, and then began to read the manuscript seriously.

Although it is a bilingual version, this manuscript is not thick.

For a while, Guan Lei even felt a little unaccustomed.

After all, Qin Wen's first two books were tomes, and now there is a novella suddenly small.

"The Old Man and the Sea?".

He glanced at the name, then continued to flip through it.

It didn't take long for him to finish reading the Xia language part of the whole book.

As for the rest of the version, he certainly couldn't understand it, and he didn't need to understand it.

After all, if you want to publish overseas, you must contact a foreign publishing house, and they will naturally evaluate the foreign language version of the book at that time.

"This book, how to say it......".

Guan Lei was in a mixed mood.

The content of this book is not complicated:

The fisherman, Santiago, fished at sea and caught nothing for the first eighty-four days, and on the eighty-fifth day, he ventured out to fish in the deep sea, where he had never been.

Then he found a large marlin and stabbed it to death in three days.

But on the way back, he was attacked five times by sharks, and he fought back with harpoons, oars, and knives, and after a lot of hardship, he finally returned to port, but the big fish was left with only a huge white skeleton.

"A very strange book ......

".

Guan Lei: In fact, it is difficult to meet someone who takes a novella and publishes it.

But when this person is Qin Wen, it is naturally not a problem.

And in his opinion, the book is also very fast-paced and the plot is tight.

The most important thing is that the image of the fisherman Santiago is very attractive.

In addition, he also liked a sentence in the book:

"A man can be destroyed, but not defeated!".

This is a tough guy image that rarely appears in the literary world!

It's not the kind of toughness that comes after a setback, it's a real tough guy.

A tough guy who despises all setbacks.

A tough guy who dares to fight against nature and life!

Even if he fails in the end, he is a failed hero!

"Well, I'll show it to Han Bian too. "

Although Guan Lei thinks this book is good, he has no bottom in his heart.

Because this kind of subject matter is rare.

Rare.

And the matter of contacting foreign publishing houses also needs Han Lu to make the decision.

After listening to Guan Lei's general situation of this book, Han Lu nodded and said, "What do you think of this book, I asked about sales." "

Guan Lei hesitated for a moment and said: "It's hard to estimate, this kind of tough guy image is very rare in books, and the previous books don't have much reference value." "

"But Qin Wen has his fame bonus, so no matter what, the sales of this book will definitely be okay. "

Han Lu continued to ask: "Then what do you personally think of the writing of this book, I am asking about the quality. "

Guan Lei said: "In my opinion, it can attract me, and the image of the protagonist is very distinct, and the fierce struggle between the protagonist and the sea can be clearly felt in the text." "

"The reader will have an immersive feeling, which is very good!".

After listening to him, Han Lu had a smile on his face and said, "That's enough, after I finish reading it, let's start reviewing this book." "

"In short, publication is definitely inevitable, and Mr. Qin Wen's fame is here. "

"As for overseas distribution, I will contact a publisher who has been working with us for a long time and ask him to help with the publication. "

"Okay. "

After Guan Lei got the guarantee, he immediately replied to Qin Wen with a message:

"Mr. Qin, we have decided to publish your new book, and we will now enter the review process. "

"As for overseas distribution, we will try our best to meet your requests......

After sending it out, Guan Lei rubbed his eyebrows and said secretly:

"Will this book sell well if it is distributed overseas?".
