Chapter 64 Heartbreak

   There are several unread emails in Robinie's mailbox.

  After excluding advertisements, credit cards and daily emails asking for information about Hailian, she opened the first one,

   This email is in English, and a French publishing house wants to purchase the French publishing rights of "84 Charing Cross Road". This was within Robin's expectation. She estimated that there will be German, Japanese and other attempts to discuss the copyright of this book in the future.

  After a book becomes popular, there will be a publishing house to try to negotiate the copyright of the book. Even if it is not published temporarily and the copyright is held in hand, it is still occupying space and hitting competitors. If you can't reach an agreement, just talk slowly.

  The same goes for her publishing house.

If a bestseller is published in the English market, if they think it is good, or if there is news on the Chinese Internet, they will try to get in touch with it. If there are few competitors and the price is right, they will buy it first, and then proceed to arrange application number, translation and so on.

But beyond Robinie’s expectation, the French copyright owner of this book is Dyer Publishing Group. This publishing group is quite famous, and it is one of the best publishing groups in the French-speaking world. It has just acquired the American independent publishing house Rambler .

  Such a powerful publishing house took a fancy to "84 Charing Cross Road", which made Robinie a little excited.

   Well, not a little bit, it was a surprise.

  Susan's publishing house has all the overseas publishing rights. They have a dedicated overseas copyright procurement manager. In order to promote this book, Robinie happened to have contacts in the English publishing industry to take up this part-time job. Now I don't need it.

  She responded to the customer's emails one by one, and then pushed the emails to the copyright manager, asking them to contact them.

   As for the second letter, it is a bit interesting.

   This is a film and television company, and they want to buy the film and television adaptation copyright of "84 Charing Cross Road". This surprise is even bigger than the one just now. The film and television industry, compared to the downturn in the publishing industry, has a lot of influence in the film and television industry. If it can be adapted into a film and television, and it is successful, then it is not impossible for this book to squeeze into the bestseller list.

  It's a pity that the right to adapt the film and television is not in the hands of the publishing house.

  Robeni replied to their email, and then forwarded the email to Susan, asking Susan to tell Li Yu, and Li Yu and the others had to talk about it.

   Just the next email from Susan.

When she opened it, the words "suit", "lawyer" and so on first caught her eyes, which made her heart skip a beat. There was no way she had just gone through a divorce lawsuit, and she was most afraid of seeing these words .

  However, after seeing the content of the lawsuit, I feel that this is also reasonable.

   Li Yu didn't care much about the copyright benefits brought by this book. The loss of reputation caused by the publishing house's show operation is what she values ​​most now, so Li Yu wants the publishing house to make a public correction and apology.

Robini thought, after all, she was also at fault for this matter. Due to various reasons in her life, she did not follow up and correct it in time. After publicizing and publishing it in the publishing house, she discovered that the publishing house had made such a big mistake. .

  Looks like I still have to see a lawyer.

After considering this matter, Robinie re-read the email, and found that the email was only about the lawsuit, and everything else was praising a book. Covering it up, Robinie thought she was talking about a classic.

  The key point is that this book was written anonymously.

  The nameless that Robinie was boasting just now.

  Robeni’s heart started to move. She opened the file and was about to read it, but she felt something was wrong. She took out the wine and poured herself a glass and put it on the table before she started to move the mouse down. The beginning of the book is special: "To my children, to all the children of the world, and to the grown-ups (all grown-ups were originally children.

   Is this dedicated to your own child's failure?

  Hope it was just a false alarm.

She prayed in her heart, and the mouse continued to move down. She didn't feel it at this time, but when she saw the paragraph "When I was six years old, I saw a very beautiful picture in a book—" Robert It dawned on Ni that this was a book of fairy tales.

   No wonder it is dedicated to children.

Robinson was a little disappointed, not that the book of fairy tales was not good, but that she put her expectations on stories like love, and the love that may or may not be present in "84 Charing Cross Road" has never been seen. Although it is not necessarily love, but like many great love stories are regrets after all, it is very touching.

  However, Unnamed's style changed so quickly that she almost lost her waist.

   Besides, Robinie herself is not the audience of fairy tales.

  She continued to scroll down and saw the hand-painted painting. After reading this short chapter and seeing the criticism of growth, she suddenly felt a little interesting. She is a translator, and what attracted her most in this chapter was that the text was so clean, even pure, that it read naturally and kindly, and it told the meaningful content in clear language, which made people feel that this fairy tale was not childish, and it was easy to read.

   Robin took a sip of wine to congratulate her, then sat up straight and continued to watch.

  This book is well written and well versed in the narrative structure of classical drama. The beginning lays the groundwork; the middle chapters are the encounter and interaction between the protagonist and the little prince, which belongs to development. At this stage, the author builds a world unique to the fairy tale from the sheep, the planet where the little prince lives, and the bread tree.

but-

  Robeni gradually realized that this book is by no means unique to fairy tales.

In Chapter 4, she saw that when asteroid B612 was discovered by a certain Turkish astronomer, she wrote anonymously that the astronomer presented his discovery at the International Astronomical Congress, but no one believed him, and later put on the European style When the costume told again, everyone accepted his evidence this time.

  Robeni blinked, it was a bit like satirizing the publication of "84 Charing Cross Road". When many publishers heard that the book was written by a Chinese, they simply didn't read it, and later mistakenly thought it was a sorted Western letter, which became popular.

interesting.

  Robeni took a sip of wine.

  After reading this book, there is a poetic melancholy and a touch of sadness shrouded in it, making her feel that something is wrong, but she can't see anything wrong.

  She thought this was just a book of fairy tales, could it be possible to have a life and death so that people would not break their defenses?

  The Anonymous is too insignificant.

  The ridicule of adults and the world here is quite relaxed, and it is worth a sip.

Then-

   "Forty-four sunsets of sorrow."

good.

  “If someone falls in love with a flower, there are billions of stars in the sky, and this flower only grows on one of them, this is enough to make him feel happy when looking up at the starry sky.”

   There is a little bit of heartache.

  Robeni felt that the taste was not right, and the wine tasted sour.

   When she left her homeland and came here, it was because of the flower of her ex-husband that she felt very happy to set foot here.

   Then, Robinie saw the arrogant, sensitive and vain Rose torture the little prince.

  She held the wine glass in her hand and did not move.

   Rose and the little prince are very similar to her and her ex-husband.

  She is arrogant, doesn't say love easily, she clearly cares about the other party but never speaks out.

She is sensitive, because she does not have contact with outsiders and does not have her own social circle when working at home, so she hopes that her ex-husband will always be by her side, so that every time he goes out, every time he works overtime, every time he treats guests, he has to think wildly, and he has to find various people. For some reason, she called him to ask him to come back, but she didn't say that she wanted him to come back sooner, but waited for him to come back late, so she became angry and tortured him strangely.

  Obviously needed without mentioning.

   Obviously I can bear loneliness, but I can't bear the loneliness when we are together and you are not around without mentioning it.

How similar she is to this rose, even if she is separated, her separation is like the separation between the little prince and the rose. She is vain and does not bow her head. , she is the winner.

  However, how can there be a winner in a failed marriage?

  Robeni drank the wine in one gulp.

   Heartbroken.

  It's too heartbreaking.

   She clearly read a fairy tale!

  Anonymous is not a thing at all!

   It's too bad.
