Chapter 978
neither Yang Guo nor Zheng Yujie will bring emotional things to work. When they eat in the evening, they don't seem to have "quarreled" just now. What should be discussed is what should be laughed at. Novel, access to the latest chapters:. Even in the evening, when Yang Guo continued to refine the translation of "escape", Zheng Yujie sat on the sofa in Yang Guo's room and looked at him quietly.
In the early morning of the next day, Yang Guo and Zheng Yujie left their luggage in the hotel, got on the green train, and came to Wenham town. Guided by the "daughter" of "milk" and "milk", they arrived at the lakeside manor of "milk" and "milk" as scheduled at noon.
In fact, it's not a manor in terms of scale. It's a manor because the 'flower' garden yard of the 'milk' family of 'menluo' is a little too big. Although it snowed yesterday, there are still many small 'flowers' with egg yolk' color blooming in the yard, as if it were a sparse sea of 'flowers', which is not good-looking enough, but also poetic and picturesque by the lake.
When Yang Guo and his colleagues arrived, Luo laonai and Nai were sitting on the chair in front of the door reading a book.
"If it was summer, I would prefer to read under that cedar tree. Ten years ago, there was a maple tree, but it was eaten by insects and had been cut down."‘ Men 'Luo Lao' Nai 'and' Nai 'said to Yang Guo with a smile.
When people are old, they are easy to pick up the past and talk about it. Yang Guo accompanied old "Nai" and "Nai" to chat about this topic for nearly half an hour. Zheng Yujie also made a few remarks. Her spoken English was fairly good.
Although he knew that Zheng Yujie was the boss of the publishing house, Menlo was surprised at her youth, and jokingly asked whether Yang Guo and Zheng Yujie were a couple. Yang Guo naturally denied it, but Zheng Yujie just smiled and didn't answer.
At noon, 'men' Luo invited Yang Guo to have dinner with them. Before that, Yang Guo handed the Swedish translation of escape to Menlo, who handed it to her daughter and asked her to show it to Professor Anderson and other Swedish friends.
"I just want to say that Mo Yan of China is really lucky to have the help of such an excellent translator as you!"‘ Munro smiled and praised, "I've seen several videos of you in Sweden. The English translation of your speech is very 'excellent'. Although I don't understand the Swedish translation of the award ceremony, my friends I know also 'pay' compliments!"
"Mr. Mo Yan is also my teacher." Yang Guo smiled, raised his water glass and said, "he is very accomplished in this field. Recently, I have been able to get inspiration and progress from him!"
Yang Guo doesn't like others to attribute Mo Yan's success to his translation. Yang Guo believes that his translation only builds a bridge so that foreign readers can have unimpeded access to Mo Yan's works. However, the joys and sorrows they feel are also touched. In the final analysis, Mo Yan's own works are excellent!
Yang Guo can't translate a book written in general into "flowers" and "chaos" for no reason, can he? If Yang Guo has that ability, why does he have to work so hard to write books by himself and then win the prize by himself?
Zheng Yujie understood Yang Guo's meaning, but she was a little scared, because 'Menlo' was a customer! Although Yang Guo didn't lose his temper frankly, he was suspected of talking back. Zheng Yujie was worried that 'men' Luo would be unhappy and left with his sleeve.
If this matter were put at home, Yang Guo's trip would definitely be yellow. However, people abroad did not feel that talking back was an offence. On the contrary, 'men' Luo appreciated Yang Guo's sincere attitude, and this appreciation was even 'revealed' in her eyes.
"It's really hard to imagine!"‘ "When I met you on the plane, you were still a little famous model," laughed Mrs. Luo
"The model only guest stars once at the invitation of a friend." Yang Guo shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "I prefer my current translation career, and I also like to learn writing from you great writers in the process of translation!"
After lunch, Menlo and Yang Guo, who had no habit of taking a nap, began to enter the final negotiation.
After receiving the contract sample handed over by Zheng Yujie, "men" Luo Lao "Nai" and "Nai" put aside, smiled and said to Yang Guo: "no matter what the Nobel Prize is, I am willing to 'hand over' to you the Chinese copyright of my works that have not been sold!"
"As for the price," said Mr. Menlo, who waved his hand. "I don't ask much. As long as you give me a market price, it's enough!"
Zheng Yujie looked at her in surprise and asked, "really?"
'men 'Luo Lao' Nai 'and' Nai 'didn't directly answer. She seemed to be telling a story and said to herself: "before you, there were also two Chinese publishers who came to me and wanted the Chinese copyright of the book dear life."
"Men" Luo Lao "Nai" and "Nai" turned to look at Yang Guo with bright eyes. She asked, "the price they offered is not low. Do you know why I didn't agree?"
Yang Guo shook his head.
"Because they can't sell the ability I believe!"‘ Old man Luo's "milk" and "milk" sighed and said, "in 2003, my" who do you think you are? " It was published by your Dongxin publishing house, a large publishing group in China! "
Dongxin Publishing House... Yang Guo and Zheng Yujie looked at each other, and they both saw each other's surprise.
"The response is very low 'fan'."‘ Old man Luo's "milk" and "milk" shook their heads and said, "I know scholars and friends in China. They told me that the translation is very bad..." she didn't make too many comments.
This book, but in the last century, let 'door' Luo won the Booker Prize, the highest award of Contemporary English ha! No wonder "men" Luo Lao's "milk" and "milk" are so lost.
"So after that, my works have not sold the Chinese copyright! Now, I just want to 'hand over' my works to a good translator who understands my works!"‘ Men Luo Lao Nai looked at Yang Guo and said affirmatively.
If it's Chinese copyright, xinyilu publishing house will get more than ten works of "man" Luo Lao's "milk", including one of her novels and nearly ten collections of short stories that have not been sold in Chinese copyright! This is a bumper harvest that Yang Guo didn't expect before they came!
Yang Guo has been brewing to express his feelings of "excitement" and "Dang" with Menlo, and Zheng Yujie suddenly leaned forward and said: "Menlo's female scholar, in fact, you can also consider 'handing over' the copyright of other foreign languages of your works to us! I believe you have also learned that Mr. Mo Yan, his novels have been translated into more than ten languages and are selling well all over the world! This is our publishing house helping to operate!"
It seems greedy, but Zheng Yujie doesn't. She wants to strive for more development opportunities for xinyilu publishing house! Relying solely on Mo Yan's works and online novels, xinyilu's development will be greatly limited. In order to grow into a giant that can compete with Dongxin publishing house, xinyilu must increase its business diversity!
"It's OK to 'hand it over' to you!"‘ Old man Luo's "milk" and "milk" are old, but the "spirit" is very good. She smiled cunningly and said, "however, why not be like Mr. Mo Yan? We set a premise, that is, after I win the Nobel Prize?"
