This host is too professional

Chapter 377 Is this reasonable?

morning.

Ye Luo had breakfast and was preparing to send Sister Rou off to filming as usual.

On the way, Sister Rou said: "I see that you have been coding all night recently? Didn't you hand over all the creative work? Why did you write the book by yourself again?"

Sister Rou is also busy with filming these days, so she gets home late every day. She had long discovered that Ye Luo was also staying up late to work, but she didn't ask before. After seeing Ye Luo finish her work last night, she thought of asking.

"The liberal arts college asked me to write a book." Ye Luo explained.

Sister Rou was even more confused and looked at Ye Luo with some confusion, "Literary Academy? Don't they usually not interfere with the author's creation? Why did they take the initiative to ask you to write a book this time?"

"This is a long story." Ye Luo said with a smile, "The main reason is that your boyfriend is too good. If others can't do it, you can only come to me."

Sister Rou smiled and did not refute him or answer the question.

Ye Luo didn't care. Seeing that Tang Rou didn't respond, Ye Luo said seriously: "The selection for the Johnson Literary Award will begin recently, and the Academy of Arts wants me to write a book to impact it."

At this time, Sister Rou was surprised, "Attacking for the Johnson Literary Award?"

"Ah."

"This is not easy!" Sister Rou frowned slightly, "In so many years, no Chinese has won the Johnson Literature Award. Teacher Ye, this award is very complicated, and it is not just about literature."

Ye Luo nodded, "I know. But, there is nothing we can do."

Ye Luo had already understood what Tang Rou meant.

However, he really couldn't refuse this.

In today's Chinese literary world, he, Ye Luo, is one of the leading figures. He can even be said to be the first person in contemporary literature. At this time, he must stand up.

"Don't worry too much, you don't have to win the award, just be a finalist." Ye Luo said.

Sister Rou breathed a sigh of relief, "If it's just to be shortlisted, it's not too difficult. We have never won the award before, but there are always writers shortlisted."

Sister Rou has some knowledge of the Johnson Literary Award, but it is limited to media reports. But it is obvious that she is not very clear about some of the actions of this year's Johnson Literary Award. She thought that the Academy of Arts asked Ye Luo to write a book because it wanted Ye Luo to increase his international reputation. After all, in Sister Rou's opinion, with Ye Luo's literary prowess, it would be too easy to get a shortlisted ticket.

Of course, if you look at it realistically, it's really easy.

However, this year is different.

The Johnson Award jury has made up its mind to take this opportunity to cause trouble. Basically all these writers in the Chinese literary world have been rejected...

Ye Luo didn't explain. He didn't want to distract Tang Rou because of these things.

"Well, there are arrangements with the Literary Academy, so it's not a big deal." Ye Luo said with a smile.

"Okay, we're here." Ye Luo parked the car on the side of the road, "I won't go in today, I have to go to the liberal arts college."

"Well, drive slowly. You don't need to pick me up at noon. I can just eat on the set."

"Okay, don't be too tired."

"Yeah, walk slowly."

After the two reluctantly said goodbye, Ye Luo went straight to the liberal arts college.

……

at this time

Academy of Arts.

All the leaders have not yet calmed down.

After everyone heard the news that Ye Luo had written the book, they were simply stunned.

However, the book "War and Peace" is displayed on each of their computers.

One week!

Just one week!

Ye Luo was stunned and wrote a book of more than 100 million words!

Everyone knows that Ye Luo is famous for being fast, but the question is, is this speed a bit too exaggerated?

Is this fucking chicken blood shot?

"Teacher Ye wrote this book in one week?"

"No, this is a bit too exaggerated."

"I know Teacher Ye's level is high, but his level is already several levels higher than others."

"I read more than half of the book "War and Peace" yesterday. I can only say that the artistic content of this book is really high. Let's not discuss the length of time it took to complete the manuscript. This is a book like this. It’s not easy to write a book. I even feel that in the entire Chinese literary world, except for Teacher Ye, no one can reach this level. What’s more, this manuscript was written out in a week. This It’s like Wenquxing descended to earth!”

"It has to be a literary star who can manage foreign countries. This book is set in Russia. I didn't expect Teacher Ye to have such in-depth research on Russian history."

"It's just too difficult."

"Moreover, you must know that Teacher Ye is good at writing traditional literature. Teacher Ye has never written this kind of modern novel with the background of modern foreign history before."

"How come Teacher Ye has such a brain?"

"I am really convinced that Mr. Ye is the number one person in the contemporary literary world."

"It's going round and round, but in the end we have to look at Teacher Ye."

"We are indeed lucky to live in the same era as Teacher Ye."

Wenyuan and Ye Luo have made an appointment to meet at Wenyuan today to discuss some specific matters about this book.

Before Ye Luo came, everyone was already waiting in the conference room early.

At this time, everyone was amazed.

There are leaders from the liberal arts academy.

There are also great minds in literature.

But no matter who it was, they all felt the same when facing Ye Luo's book "War and Peace".

Incredible!

Didn't wait too long, Ye Luo arrived.

As soon as he entered the conference room, everyone in the conference room stood up.

"Teacher Ye."

"Teacher Ye, sit here."

"Teacher Ye, your book is really wonderful."

"Teacher Ye, tell the truth. Wasn't this book drafted in advance? Was it really written within a week after you conceived it?"

Everyone was so enthusiastic. As soon as Ye Luo walked in, he was immediately surrounded by people.

There are many elderly novelists from the New Literature Association here, many of whom Ye Luo has heard of, but has never had the chance to meet in person.

"Okay, okay, let Teacher Ye sit down first." Sun Deyou patted the table, "If there's anything else, we'll talk about it later."

After hearing Dean Sun's words, everyone gave up.

Ye Luo sat next to Dean Sun and greeted everyone with a smile.

After chatting for a while, Ye Luo returned to some questions that everyone was curious about.

Was there a draft of the book Gnome before?

Is it really possible to finish the book in one week?

When did you study Russian history?

Ye Luo also took the trouble to answer questions like these.

"I don't have any drafts, but I had some ideas in this regard before."

"Russian history? I have always been interested in history. I have read it before. For example, Western history. Although I am not very proficient in it, I still understand it somewhat."

"There is no archived manuscript. It was indeed rushed out within a week. Speaking of which, this is really tiring for me."

Everyone chatted with each other for a while, and then the meeting officially started.

"Okay, let's not say much else."

Today, Dean Sun Deyou personally presided over the meeting, "Everyone here knows the current situation. In this year's Johnson Literary Award, all writers in our Chinese literary world were wiped out. In terms of candidates and works submitted previously, the jury all gave a thumbs down I won’t tell you the reason why.”

"This year's Chinese literary world can be shortlisted, it depends on Teacher Ye's" War and Peace "." "What good ideas and suggestions do you have, talk freely today. Taking advantage of time, maybe it is time to come. This will give Teacher Ye some new ideas."

Perhaps because he was afraid that everyone would not dare to speak, Dean Sun added: "Although Teacher Ye's level is high enough, the so-called wise man will always make a mistake after a thousand worries, and a fool will always gain something after a thousand worries. Let's not talk about those vain people. Things. To be honest, this book is the last standout in our Chinese literary world. We must strive to be in the best possible condition so that the jury cannot find any faults."

After Dean Sun finished speaking, everyone looked at me and I looked at you.

But no one spoke.

Suggestions?

There must be some suggestions for this!

They all understood what Dean Sun said, and everyone really wanted to bring this book "War and Peace" to a perfect state.

But the problem is that in everyone's opinion, this book has reached a very perfect state!

Are there any flaws in the book?

Is there anything that needs to be changed?

No!

It is no exaggeration to say that this is nothing at all.

Whether it is from the writing style, or from the plot, theme, and conception of the entire book, this "War and Peace" is all top-notch!

Even a truly world-class literary master would be hard-pressed to find a single flaw.

Seeing that no one was talking, Ye Luo also said: "Don't worry about me, we are of the same mind now, just treat it as one person. Everyone knows that I came out within a week, and there must be some shortcomings in it. I hope everyone can work together and don't be afraid of offending others. I'm really not the kind of person. I would be happy if anyone can give me some suggestions."

Ye Luo's words came from the bottom of his heart. He now had the entire Chinese literary world on his shoulders, and the pressure was beyond what outsiders could imagine.

If anyone could find out the problems with this book, Ye Luo would be very happy.

The book gets better as it gets better and better, that's what Ye Luo wants to see.

But unfortunately, no one has any suggestions.

"Teacher Ye, to be honest, you don't need to touch a word of the content of this book."

"Yeah, I don't think there's any need for suggestions or anything like that."

"I have to say this from the bottom of my heart, not that we care about anyone's face. If this is your 'Ye Tang Series', then I really have something to say. But I really think this book is impeccable. "

"To be honest, just looking at the writing style, I really wouldn't have thought it was written by Teacher Ye at this time. The style of this is very different from Teacher Ye's previous works."

"That's true, but then again, Teacher Ye's style has actually changed quite a lot before. In fact, if you think about it carefully, it seems that none of Teacher Ye's books have the same style. Even in the Ye Tang series, the style of those books The specific contents are actually very different in style. However, the format of the books in this series is the same, which has led to many people not thinking in the direction of style."

"That's true. The protagonist of each book in the Ye Tang series is different, and the style of writing poems is indeed different."

As everyone was chatting, the topic started to go off the rails.

Dean Sun quickly stopped, "Okay, okay, now is not the time to discuss the Ye Tang series." He knocked on the table, "Let's talk about "War and Peace", why do you always talk about other things? We don't have any opinions. Bar?"

"Ah."

Everyone's attitude is very unified.

"Okay, let's talk about other things."

Dean Sun said: "Now that the content has been determined, let's study the publication."

At this time, Director Zhang from the Statistics Center said: "The publisher does not need to consider it. The main issue is the overseas sales of this book. At the very least, it must be transliterated into English and some overseas versions released."

"Well, if you want to be shortlisted for the Johnson Literary Award, translating it into English is the most basic thing."

"I see, not only English, but also Russian is a must. Although the market in Russia is not too big, Russia's influence is great. Moreover, Teacher Ye's book itself is based on modern Russia. With history as the background and the central theme being war, the Russian version is definitely a must.”

"In fact, all of the mainstream languages ​​​​in the West should be available."

"Arabic is also required. There is a chaos in Central Asia right now. Teacher Ye's book is expected to cause a sensation there."

At this moment, everyone was speaking very enthusiastically. You said a lot and I said a lot.

Overall, the considerations are very comprehensive.

"Then prepare to contact translation experts and set up a 'special translation team' as soon as possible. I think the main languages ​​such as English, French, Russian, German, and Arabic will be translated first. After all, there is not so much time."

Dean Sun said, "There are still a lot of things to do in the future for publicity, publication, and review." As he said that, he looked at the director of the Translation Department of the Academy of Arts and Sciences in the conference room and asked: "Teacher Ye, do you want this book?" How long can it take to complete the translation?"

The director thought for a moment and said, "It will take half a month at the earliest. Teacher Ye's book..."

Before he finished speaking, Sun Deyou slammed the table angrily, "Half a month? It takes you half a month to translate a book? It only took Teacher Ye a week to write this book! Are you talking nonsense? Half a month is definitely No, it’s too late, it’s too late! I’ll give you one week, and within one week, you must translate it according to the highest standards!”

Upon hearing this, the director of the translation department also collapsed.

a week?

It’s simply impossible!

He didn't know how Ye Luo was able to write a book in a week. Anyway, they definitely couldn't translate it.

This is not just a matter of casually translating Chinese into a foreign language, this is a literary work!

This is extremely honest and elegant!

If the wording is slightly inappropriate, it is very likely that the foreign language version will not be so amazing!

Mr. Ye's original works are obviously of a first-class quality. If the quality of the works drops due to imperfect translation, then their translation department will become the sinner of the entire Chinese literary world.

This responsibility must be shouldered by their translation department.

Thinking of this, the director's forehead was covered with sweat, and he quickly shouted: "Dean, it's not possible if time does not allow it. I really can't translate it in a week!"

"You have to do it even if it doesn't work!" Sun Deyou exerted the power of the dean fiercely, "I don't care about your difficulties, ah, you go and find a solution for me. Why do you want to be the director? Why don't you use your strength at this time? , when do you exert your strength?”

The director almost cried, "It's not a matter of whether I work hard or not. This is not a difficulty at all. It can't be accomplished!"

"Don't say so much, just tell me if you can do it?" Sun Deyou slammed the table, furious.

The director was also upset. He thought to himself that even if the director quits, I can't fucking take the blame!

"I……"

He was about to speak, but unexpectedly he was interrupted by Ye Luo.

Ye Luo waved his hand towards him, motioning for him to sit down, and then slowly said: "If it is really difficult to translate this matter, then let me try it myself." He didn't want to take care of it at first, after all, he could Who wants to work when you have nothing to do?

But this situation is not the time to be lazy.

"Ok?"

Dean Sun was stunned, "Teacher Ye, you also speak foreign languages..."

"I've studied it before, so I think I understand it. After all, this is a book written by me, so it should be translated faster," Ye Luo said.

But Dean Sun is still worried, "Even if you can do it in English, you can't do it in other languages."

"I can speak other languages ​​to some extent." Ye Luo didn't say too much, "English, French, Russian, German, Arabic, well, these languages ​​are all pretty good."

After saying that, in the stunned expressions of everyone, Ye Luo also explained, "Don't look at me like that. You know, I was originally a host. How normal is it for hosts to speak more foreign languages?" It’s something.”

Sun Deyou looked confused, looked at a director next to him, and asked blankly: "Is this normal?"

The director also had the same confused look on his face, his brain was a bit unable to react, and he mechanically followed Ye Luo's words and said, "It should be normal, right? Host, please speak more foreign languages..." He swallowed, " It seems pretty normal.”

Ye Luo didn't dwell on this issue, and just said to the director of the translation department: "It's too slow to do this on my own. I'll need everyone's cooperation."

The director immediately stood at attention and said, "Teacher Ye, don't worry, our entire department will be on call!" At this moment, the look in his eyes when he looked at Ye Luo was like seeing light in the darkness.

"This……"

Sun Deyou and the others were all dizzy, with question marks on their faces.

It wasn't until seven days later that Ye Luo placed "War and Peace" in seven languages, including English, French, Russian, German, Japanese, and Arabic, in front of them, that everyone was completely shocked to the point of saying nothing.

It’s not that I don’t want to say it, it’s that I don’t know what to say.

It doesn’t matter that you write a book so fast, you still bring your own translator? The point is, the translation is so ridiculously fast?

This is simply outrageous. His mother opened the door for Outrageous. Outrageous is home!
