The meaning of this action is already very clear.
"Don't underestimate me, Su Da writer, do you still remember Jenny?"
"Jenny? Is that your American friend?" Su Xichen thought for a moment, then searched his memory and found the name.
"Yeah, Jenny helped find a publisher for the Sherlock Holmes collection and they've already agreed on everything, just waiting to sign the contract. My mom even flew over this morning to sign it, after that, the Sherlock Holmes collection can be officially published in the US! I believe with the brilliance of Sherlock, we can definitely conquer the US!" Three years have passed, but Wang Shan's love for Sherlock hasn't changed one bit.
"When the time comes, Su Da writer, you will become an international-level writer. I think you can win the Master Award with Sherlock Holmes without any pressure!" In the previous life, the award that had a relatively large impact on reasoning was called the Oscar of the reasoning world - the Ellery Queen Award. But in this world, there is no Ellery Queen, so naturally, there will be no such award. Therefore, the Master Award is considered to be the most well-known reasoning award in this world.
"Is Holmes published in the US?" Su Xichen frowned, this was different from his plan.
His plan was to step by step become the person at the pinnacle of the border, that is —— the great writer!!
To ascend to the throne of world literary giants, the first step is to conquer all of China, then Japan and Korea, using the whole of Asia as a springboard to conquer the world.
Think about it, the cultural input of Korean idol dramas, Japanese anime, and so on can all be considered cultural invasion. But what has China exported to the outside world?
Martial arts? Don't be kidding, what do Americans know about martial arts? Su Rui Chen remembered that he had once seen the American translation of Jin Yong's works regarding some martial arts moves and was thoroughly disappointed.
What is Nineman's power?
A finger just like a penis.
This is the one-yang finger of the Southern Emperor, with this kind of translation, can you still expect America to understand martial arts?
Chinese Kung Fu? Maybe this is a little consolation, but in a world without Bruce Lee, there's no output of Chinese Kung Fu at all.
How can the great China only input but not output culture?
Think about it, holding a pen in hand, writing millions of words. With one's own strength, exporting Chinese culture to every country and letting the world recognize Chinese culture, what a passionate thing this is.
Korea's desolate and sorrowful "Lighthouse Keeper", fond of fatherly love "Nine Stabbed Fish"; Japan's beautiful and elegant "Love Letter", gentle and luxurious "Norwegian Forest". Conquering other countries with another country, and then implementing cultural dissemination is the complete plan. However, China has not yet reached the top, Asia has not been conquered, how can it directly jump to America? This is unscientific.
"Why can't Su Da, the great author, release new chapters a bit faster? We fans have been waiting until the flowers are withered!" The update speed of Sherlock Holmes has changed from weekly to monthly, and it's been three years, but one book of "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection" is still not finished.
Su Rui Chen didn't call Wang Shan, but instead called Wang Ni. The voice on the other end of the line said: "Sorry, the user you are calling is temporarily unavailable, please try again later..."
Should still be on the plane, phone is in flight mode.
"Hey, what's wrong with Su Da? Is the surprise too big for you to react?" In Wang Shan's mind, if a Huaxia author's book can enter the mainstream in the US, that would be incredibly exciting.
"Surprise? The surprise is there, but the joy is nowhere to be seen." Wang Shan saw Su Xichen's silence and thought of a topic to break this awkward atmosphere.
"Su Da is a great writer, that new book I read may not be as immortal as Sherlock Holmes, but it's also very classic. I believe the sales will definitely not be less than Ghost Blows Out The Light."
The Ghost Blows the Lamp was a huge sales success, but due to some negative news, its reputation wasn't good. This situation is called "attracting attention but not praise", whereas The Matrix can achieve both fame and fortune, attracting both attention and praise.
Ghost Blows Out the Light and The Matrix, two more books, now he can finally go do what he's always wanted to do...
The door creaked with a loud "bang bang".
"Professor, I'm bothering you again." This time the one who opened the door was Yang Jiezhong. When he opened the door, he had a smile on his face, and it seemed that his mood wasn't bad.
"Professor, this is my new book 'Hackers Empire I: Hacking Mission'." Actually, Su Xichen had forgotten about it when he came, luckily on the way, he saw a crowded bookstore with most people buying Hackers Empire. It was then that Su Xichen remembered what Yang Jiezhi said before, to bring him a copy of his new book, although this might just be something Yang Jiezhi said casually, but since he said it, not bringing one over would be impolite.
"Haha, I've been waiting for a long time, so I won't be polite and accept it. It also saved me several dozen yuan." Yang Jie said with a smile.
This is naturally a joke, who is Yang Jie? A university professor! How could he possibly be short of 20 or 30 yuan.
"Come on, little friend, I'll take you to see the surprise I was talking about." Following Yang Jie into the room, hoping that the surprise in Yang Jie's mouth won't be like Wang Shan's, which was a surprise without any excitement...
Sorry
Today, the kitten originally planned to update twice, but after releasing the first chapter, due to some private matters that needed to be resolved, it couldn't release the second chapter. Everyone knows that the kitten doesn't have any drafts stored up, so I'm really sorry for standing everyone up tonight... Tomorrow will be a triple update to make up for it.....
Chapter 193: Completely Resolving the Problem
"Professor Yang, this is my friend Wang Shan." Su Xichen introduced, "Shan, this is Professor Yang Jiezhi from Tsinghua University, you may not know..."
"How could I not know! Professor Yang's poem, I really like it! It is full of nostalgia and longing for life, especially in 'Standing Upright' the line 'When willpower falls down, life no longer stands upright, how can a crooked shadow endure the bleakness of the cold wind...'". It can be seen that Wang Shan is really familiar with Yang Jie's poetry, and can recite two lines offhand.
"The last time in a US poetry program, Professor Yang was the guest." Wang Shuang said.
Yang Jie's poetry is not only famous in China, but also has a small reputation abroad.
Su Xun thought Wang Shan had been living abroad for a long time and didn't know many famous people in China, so he was afraid she would be embarrassed and introduced her to Professor Yang Jie. However, he didn't expect to be scolded by Wang Shan, and the one who ended up being embarrassed was him.
"Haha, I didn't expect my poetry collection to be so well-received by young girls, this will make me happy for a long time." Yang Jie's hearty laughter.
"Professor Yang, your poetry collection is quite popular among many people in the poetry club of the school I attended," said Wang Shan.
"Professor, you're not going to make us stand out here all the time, are you?" Su Xichen teased.
"Haha, I overlooked this point, please come in, both of you."
Although this is not the first time to come to Yang Jie's home, looking at the decoration in the house still has a slight shock. The entire corridor wall is a huge screen, which is generally installed on some commercial advertising screens, but Yang Jie put this screen indoors.
On the other side of the corridor is a large mirror, and on this screen are all photos of Yang Jie and his wife traveling together. The two elderly people are smiling very happily and blissfully.
"It's not obvious, but Professor Su is more narcissistic than some young girls, putting his own photos into a video and posting it here." Wang Shan whispered to Su Xichen while pulling on his sleeve.
"You'll understand, I'll tell you later." In fact, Su Xichen saw a hint of respect in Yang Jie's eyes. Yang Jie and his wife traveled everywhere, rock climbing and mountain climbing, not losing to young people at all. But who knew that seven years ago, Yang Jie had liver cancer.
At that time, everyone thought he wouldn't live long, but Yang Jiezi gave up his convalescence in the hospital and said he wanted to take advantage of this last period of time to travel and experience the beauty of the rivers and mountains. The decorations on both sides of the corridor were built at that time. Every time he went to a place, he would put out photos here for himself to see, it was such an optimistic attitude. In the end, his liver cancer actually got better. According to Yang Jiezi's attending physician, this is simply a medical miracle.
The corridor turned into the living room, and there were four people sitting in the living room. Three of them were familiar to Su Rui Chen, often appearing on some TV shows or frequently interviewed by newspapers and magazines.
"Let me introduce him then, this is Su Renshan, the author of Ghost Blows Out the Light."
As soon as Yang Jie's voice fell, Wu Qi, who was sitting on the far left of the sofa, stood up: "Su Xianchen! The genius writer who was evaluated by the media as unprecedented and unparalleled, at a young age can write classics such as 'Sherlock Holmes' and 'Murder on the Orient Express', these two works even we old guys have read and praised them!"
"Professor Wu's lectures are my goal to move forward."
Wu Qi is a professor at another university and often appears on various TV literary variety shows, with a very high level of recognition.
"The goal of progress, can become the goal of your progress as a genius writer, should I be proud too, haha!" Wu Qi was quite talkative like Yang Jie, but his hoarse voice combined with that exaggerated laughter was indeed quite intimidating.
"I didn't expect Old Yang to introduce us to such an interesting person, and it's this talented writer. And you're being so mysterious about it." Bai Dongtao also stood up and shook hands with Su Xierchen, then said in a resentful tone, "Writer Su Xierchen, you've really made me suffer."
Su Shichen looked bewildered, Bai Dongtao was the vice president of Liling University where Su Shichen went to give a lecture last time, in charge of the economics department, with columns in many economic newspapers and magazines, and wrote an economics book, known as a must-read for economics students, its sales were also high on the list of economics books.
Bai Dongtao is indeed very famous, and he has also given a speech at Liling University. However, Su Shichen and he have no intersection, why say that he was wronged?
"What made Principal Bai Dongtao say this?"
"Originally, every time I gave a lecture, it was always packed, but yesterday, my lecture had the whole classroom empty with less than two-thirds of the students present. At first, I thought it was because I didn't teach well in the previous class, resulting in student loss. At that time, I was so angry and felt that I must have taught poorly! However, a teacher next to me told me that there were very few people at yesterday's lecture. After asking several students, I found out that they all flocked to buy a new book called "The Matrix"."
Su Xichen was already extremely popular among students, and his previous speech at Liling University was widely acclaimed, making him even more popular in Liling University, so the sensational effect caused by this is completely understandable. The title of "the most talented person in Chinese history" is not just a joke.
"Lao Bai, what's going on here? You know my little granddaughter, right?" Song Shu also spoke up.
It is said that birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups. Yang's friends are all professors or authors from various schools. Although Song Shu is not a professor at any school, he is a senior in the reasoning world and had already gained great fame before Su Rei was born. For 40-50 year old reasoning fans, Song Shu left a deep impression.
"Of course I remember, a little mouth that can talk, calling 'Grandpa White' all day long." White Dongtao was deeply impressed.
"It's just that my little granddaughter keeps talking about Su Shiyan day and night, saying she wants to become a genius writer like Su Shiyan."
"Isn't this great? With a goal for learning, there's motivation." said Bai Dongtao.
"I also thought it was okay at first, but the teachers at her school said she wasn't studying seriously, and as a result, they found 'Ghost Blows Out the Light' and 'Desolate Era' series in her backpack."
It's become a "criticism meeting" for Su Rixian now, and this lineup makes Su Rixian look like a heinous criminal.
The last one was Professor Yang Jie's four friends, only this Su Rixing didn't know him at all, and had no impression of him.
"Tang Cong, I'm just a nobody now, without the reputation of Wu Lao or Bai Lao." Tang Cong was much younger than Yang Jie and others, around thirty to forty years old, in his prime as a man, with a refined and elegant temperament.
At such a young age, he wouldn't be a professor at any school, would he? Just as Su Rui Chen was guessing in her heart, Yang Jie Zhi revealed Tang Tong's identity.
"Director Tang is being too modest, we old guys still have to rely on Director Tang for publishing some things!"
Director? Having watched too many Hong Kong dramas, when Su Rui Chen heard these two words, the first thing that came to mind was the director of a police station. However, this position does not exist on the mainland. But as an author, when Su Rui Chen heard "publishing", the first thing that came to mind was another unit. Could Tang Tuan be...
"Teacher, you're killing me with what you just said. You are my benefactor. Without your guidance, I might be a manager at an ordinary small company now." Tang Dong waved his hands repeatedly.
"Little friend, Tang Teng can be said to be the most successful among my students. He is currently the deputy director of the General Administration of Press and Publication. As for this 'Ghost Blows Out the Light' being listed as a book under investigation, you can ask him."
As expected, it was the leader of the General Administration of Press and Publication, and also the vice director!
"I'm nothing compared to other students of our teacher who have achieved great things."
This is absolutely modest, the General Administration of Press and Publication is a ministry-level unit, Tang Tong is a deputy ministerial level, as for Tang Tong's 30s or 40s age, how many people can do better than him?
A professor, especially one from a prestigious university like Tsinghua University, has a significant impact at this time. The influence of a professor is naturally limited, but he has many students who are influenced by him.
"You are the flagship of post-90s writers! 'The Ghost Blows Out the Light' is very wonderful, but the subject matter is a bit sensitive. However, there's no problem, we've had serious discussions about it, and sensitive subject matter doesn't mean the content is sensitive. 'The Ghost Blows Out the Light' didn't promote anything that goes against policy."
"Thank you, Director Tang."
According to the current sales of "Ghost Blows Out the Light", if it is really announced by the General Administration of Press and Publication that its content is prohibited, it will be a huge blow to Shan Release Company and Su Release Morning.
Su Xuechen suddenly understood what Yang Jie had said about surprises at this time, it turned out to be like that.
