Chapter 611 A compact schedule

For Chinese culture that is determined to go abroad, the Frankfurt Book Fair is obviously the best choice.

The delegation of the China Book Fair began to plan very early, and nearly 70 publishing companies including Nanhai Publishing Company registered for counselors. In addition, the Writers Association, the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, the China Foreign Languages ​​Administration and other units jointly hosted, the large-scale delegation could not even load it with several planes!

Writers who are qualified to participate in activities overseas obviously will not be short of this money, but for some employees and their families, this is a rare public travel opportunity.

For the sake of reason, Zhang Chu should have a quota, but it is still unknown who took this quota away!

Whether he needs this quota is one thing, and whether others give it to it is another matter.

Zhou Kang felt in his heart that the Writers Association was so unkind and righteous, and his appearance was so ugly!

Gu Xinxue knew the twists and turns of this. He said in the group: "If Zhang Chu has time, our Nanhai Publishing Company can invite him to join our delegation."

"This is not necessary for the time being. He mainly travels to Europe. He may only attend the book fair when the tour is about to end. It is not good to occupy your quota for nothing, so let him travel freely!"

Although it is already the 21st century, the opportunity to go to Europe is still very precious. Zhou Kang is unwilling to let Zhang Chu occupy other people's positions, so it is really impossible to make up for the little money for air tickets.

Language barriers are indeed a major obstacle to cultural exchanges. After the two of them talked, Blair, who had just finished translating, came late: "We can send a letter to formally invite Zhang Chu to participate, as long as he attends our event."

Although Zhou Kang is Zhang Chu's agent, he cannot help him make decisions casually. At the moment, he can only reply in a vague way: "I will pass on these contents to him and I will reply to you tomorrow."

At this time, Zhou Kang suddenly realized that as an agent, he also had to go to Frankfurt to help Zhang Chu contact overseas translation rights. So many countries and regions were waiting for development!

I only regretted that I had little time to use the book. Zhou Kang could only find a person who could speak English and German in Germany as a translator.

Although "Detective Sherlock" and "Pi's Fantasy Drifting" are currently best-selling around the world, there are actually not many languages ​​translated, only seven or eight.

There are many language versions that are blank!

In addition, "The Da Vinci Code" is about to be launched, so he has to go there and see how European and American literary agents operate.

This way, the burden on you is quite high!

His agent still has a lot to learn. If he can't keep up with Zhang Chu's pace of going overseas, it would be too incompetent.

In fact, Zhang Chu’s sales in China are no longer a matter of effort. What Zhou Kang has to consider now is to increase the influence of Zhang Chu’s works overseas.

"The Da Vinci Code" is a good opportunity, which will allow Zhang Chu to further open the door to the European and American book markets and truly gain a foothold in it!

...

Monday's course was boring, and Zhang Chu was almost drowsy when the professor said.

He took a sip of the hot water in the water cup, and couldn't help but secretly glance at the sparrows that occasionally flew past the branches outside the window, and walked to the Pacific Ocean.

Even good students cannot concentrate on listening in one class!

Zhang Chu covered his mouth with his hands, yawned silently, and tears came out.

After finally getting off the get out of class, he felt as if he had been exhausted and lay on the desk.

"What did you do last night?" An Mi said, taking a can of Red Bull out of her desk backpack. "Fortunately, I always have this thing, you can drink it."

Zhang Chu was not polite either. He pulled the pull ring and took a few sips, then replied: "I slept for eight hours last night, but I couldn't resist Professor Liao's powerful hypnosis. Don't say that you are not distracted, I don't believe it."

An Mi said softly: "Actually, I have been memorizing TOEFL words silently in my heart..."

I don’t know if it was psychological reasons or if Red Bull really worked, but Zhang Chu did not get distracted in the next two classes.

"Do you go to the cafeteria for dinner?" An Mi scanned a shared bicycle with her mobile phone and turned her head to ask.

"I have to go to the bookstore, and the agent is waiting there. You, Ruiqi and the others will go first."

During class, Zhou Kang sent a text message to Zhang Chu to meet at Hanlinxuan Bookstore after class to discuss his specific itinerary to Europe during the National Day.

At this time, there were only a few students standing by the bookshelf to select works. Zhou Kang was also reading three hundred practical English words, without even noticed Zhang Chu's arrival.

"Uncle Zhou, what should I arrange for National Day?"

Zhang Chu felt that he was just going on a trip and then going to the UK to complete the illustration selection work of "The Da Vinci Code". This is a very simple thing!

Zhou Kang carefully folded the page of the word book, then took out another note and said: "You may not know that the Frankfurt Book Fair, the world's largest book exhibition, was held in Germany during the National Day. So the South China Sea Publishing Company, Random Book House, and St. Paul Publishing Company meant that you would ask you to go to the book fair to help you stand on the platform. They will send a trial book "Da Vinci Code" at that time, which is to warm up in advance."

“Are you going to participate in one event or three events?”

This problem must be clarified!

"I will also go there at that time. I hope that the global launch of the new book that can be made into the Da Vinci code will be jointly hosted by the three of them. In the past, I hoped that I could sell these to other countries and could not be wasted."

Zhang Chu touched his chin and said, "My air ticket has been booked. I will fly to Rome on September 29. At what time will I meet with you?"

"The first three days of the book fair are only for professionals and are only open to ordinary audiences on weekends, otherwise we should meet in Frankfurt on October 6th."

Although Zhang Chu didn't know what fun, beautiful and delicious in Frankfurt is, but after thinking about it, he nodded and agreed: "It's okay if this is the case. I will buy a flight ticket from Frankfurt to Yanjing. By the way, you have to help remind Blair and the others, and let them take the pictures and information to Frankfurt, and I will choose it directly at that time."

"It's the Internet age. Just go to the official websites of these museums or archives to view them. You can find them now. If specific information is involved, you can ask Blair and others to take the account of the intranet staff for you to view it."

"Then all the problems are like this? No more?"

Zhou Kang spread his hands and said, "Your only task is to write a book well. At that time, "The Da Vinci Code" will give away a trial book at the book fair. Both journalists and readers will definitely be very picky."
Chapter completed!
