September 25th, Yanjing International Airport.

As the central hub connecting the capital to countries all over the world, the number of daily tourists also ranks first in the country.

The venue of the "Golden Bookmark Award" was set in Shanghai, so Li Chungang was completely familiar with the road this time, including Luo Wen and the two of them, there was only one suitcase, and this was because Luo Wen happened to be dragging a suitcase when he came to Yanjing.

Although its influence is not very famous in the world, it is already the highest honor that physical book publishing can get in China. The main reason is that the relationship between Huaguo and several surrounding countries is a bit stiff, and they look down on each other to host of such awards.

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

No matter how charming the night view of the Bund is, Thompson couldn't get into his mind at this time, because all kinds of worries were bothering him.

He is a literary publishing editor. He can also be ranked in Penguin Random House, the world's most famous English-language commercial publishing house, and what he says can make a difference.

The well-known and literary works "Journey to the Center of the Earth", "Thirty Thousand Miles in Speed" and "Skynet" that were once best-selling all over the world were published all over the world through him...

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

It is impossible for a person to be lucky all his life. There are always times of bad luck. Obviously, for Thompson, the duration of this bad luck is longer. In the pit, several big shots in a row ended in nothing!

The world of capitalists is so cruel, no matter how much glory you have achieved, when you make mistakes and make mistakes again and again, the senior executives of Penguin Random House will no longer tolerate Thompson's wrong choice in the quagmire, and directly send him to "Frontier" , transferred to the branch of Penguin Random House in Shanghai, Huaguo.

Why is it said that being assigned to Huaguo is equivalent to being assigned to the frontier? The biggest reason is the cultural and geographical gap between Huaguo and European and American countries, coupled with the extensive and profound Chinese characters, the same words can have different meanings when used in different places. The same meaning, which caused a great obstacle to translation into English.

So up to now, it is not uncommon for Chinese-Americans to write western fantasy and publish successfully, but domestic works are translated into English and published abroad, and none of them are spared!

It has been three months since I came to Shanghai, and Thompson doesn't know what's wrong with me, let alone discovering a book worthy of being published by Penguin Random House.

Now just learning Chinese can make him want to die every day.

If you don’t understand Chinese, you won’t be able to understand Hua’s domestic works better. If you don’t understand Hua’s works, you won’t be able to find good works to publish. If you can’t find good works to publish, how can he achieve the goal of returning to the US headquarters? dream.

Apart from reading literary works, Thompson’s greatest hobby in his life is a film camera. He likes the process of shooting on film and then cleaning the photos. This is why he always likes to take the camera with him no matter where he goes. A film camera, precisely to be able to take pictures of things worth taking pictures at any time.

"Hey~ If this continues, when will I be able to return to the country of America..."

The consumption concept in the United States is completely different from that in China. They seldom make planned savings. In addition, Thompson has a mortgage to repay and a family to support in the United States. Random House publishing and editing cannot be given up.

Mountain darkly, vista.

The east side is not bright, and the west side is bright.

Just when Thompson was at a loss as to how to open up the situation in Huaguo, a subordinate of Penguin Random House Huaguo told him that tonight would be the moment when the "Golden Bookmark Award", the most grand event in Huaguo's physical book publishing industry, would be held , suggest that he can go and see.

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

After hearing about it, Thompson's eyes lit up, and he immediately thought of an excellent solution. It is true that he can't understand 99% of literary works at his current Chinese level, but it doesn't prevent others from understanding, especially The works that can win the "Golden Bookmark Award" must be excellent authors.

That being the case, he directly picked the "ready-made fruit" and chose to translate Huaguo's best works into English and bring them to Europe and the United States.

Of course, this "Golden Bookmark Award" award night, Thompson decided to go, but it is impossible to go without preparation, at least bring an interpreter is a must, this candidate naturally falls on reminding him of the "Golden Bookmark Award" award" to employees.

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

at dusk.

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

"Shuai Shuai, go quickly, don't let people wait for you!"

After showing off in front of his wife that he was about to walk on the red carpet, Luo Wen sat in a Rolls-Royce Phantom in high spirits and came downstairs to the Hilton Hotel where Li Chungang lived.

Don't get me wrong, Rowan doesn't have the money to buy a Rolls-Royce Phantom. Even if he had money, he wouldn't be willing to buy it. In the eyes of a family man in his thirties, the value of the car is depreciated. It's good to have it. It's really important. or house.

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

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

He is not necessary as a literary agent, but Li Chungang is not. It is not a matter of extravagance or waste. It is a cash withdrawal of status.

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

"A well-known online writer earns tens of millions a month, and travels all by taxi."

"'Golden Bookmark Award' nominated author Zhichun Zhigang arrived at the scene by taxi."

"..."

It was less than ten minutes before the entrance of the "Golden Bookmark Award" began. At this time, all kinds of "long guns and short guns" had already been set up on both sides of the red carpet outside the door, and countless reporters, photographers, and peers were discussing with each other. Looking at tonight's grand prize, but his eyes are always focused on the front of the red carpet.

The closer the admission time was, the more they had to cheer up, because at any time someone might come to the venue early.

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

"I don't know if there will be heavy stars appearing tonight."

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