- I couldn¡¯t fall asleep as I was tossing and turning in bed. It was a bit unaccustomed to being in a completely new place.
Chen Yao simply got up and walked out. It happened that Lin Yuhan couldn't sleep either. She walked out yawning in her pajamas.
She looked out the window at the night view: "Why don't you go to the nearby Ginza to visit?"
Chen Yao nodded, then went back to the room and put on a down suit and went out. Lin Yuhan also put on a white down windbreaker, and the two of them walked out of the hotel.
It is exactly 9 o'clock in the evening, the busiest time of the day in Ginza. The shops on both sides are flashing with neon lights, and there are a variety of shops in sight.
When it comes to what to buy, even Lin Yuhan, a shopaholic, doesn¡¯t know what to buy?
¡°More than ten or twenty years ago, when traveling to Japan, Chinese people would like to buy a TV set and a rice cooker. If you buy them back, you can really show off.
As China¡¯s national power becomes more powerful, you can¡¯t really buy any show-off products in Japan. Of course, there are still small but exquisite specialty products.
Shopping was no longer of interest. Lin Yuhan saw a bookstore nearby, and he pulled Chen Yao toward the bookstore.
Looking around, the bookshelves are filled with books.
In addition to locals, there are also many tourists shopping here. After all, there are some books that cannot be bought in China. There are also a large number of CDs for adults. This man understands them all.
Standing in front of the bookshelf, Chen Yao glanced at it. There was a copy of "Surviving Mars" in a prominent position. On the other side, "My Wandering Earth 3" was also placed in a prominent position for key promotion.
A woman wearing a Japanese kimono came over. She was a salesperson at a bookstore. She picked up "Surviving Mars" and introduced the book to Chen Yao.
"Do you understand Japanese?" Chen Yao asked Lin Yuhan next to him.
Lin Yuhan patted her chest: "Of course I will."
"Really?"
"Well, I can understand a few Japanese words."
"Which words?"
"You also understand."
""
Fortunately, Chen Yao brought a translation headset. Although this thing is not very intelligent, ordinary communication is still passable.
Then he asked sales: "How are the sales of "Surviving Mars" and "Wandering 3"?"
There are many foreign tourists here. Although the salesperson does not speak Chinese, he can understand them.
She smiled and said: "The sales of "The Wandering Earth 3" and "Surviving Mars" in our store are both very good, ranking 10th and 9th."
Although it did not enter the top five, it is already considered good to be among the top 10 in Japanese bookstores.
In Japan, science fiction is not the most popular subject, with only three books making it into the top ten, which is already the largest number in recent months.
And Chen Yao occupies two copies alone.
The first book, ranked sixth on the list, is from the work "Building a Planet" by the best-selling American author Rojas.
Chen Yao is a little impressed. If I remember correctly, "Building a Planet" was also nominated for the Hugo Award. Rojas is the strongest opponent for the Hugo Award.
The saleswoman looked at him standing there in a daze and immediately asked: "Sir, do you need to buy these two books?"
Chen Yao nodded, bought the two books and took them away.
After walking around outside, Lin Yuhan bought some fruit snacks and lamented that watermelons in Japan are really expensive, costing 105 yuan each.
We returned to the hotel around 11 o¡¯clock.
Chen Yao lay on the bed and opened the book. This was the English version of "My Wandering Earth 3". It looked and felt a little different.
It took Jinchao Publishing House three months to successfully translate it. Translating books is very time-consuming and cumbersome.
Chen Yao wondered if it was time for the company to launch translation software. Using a powerful artificial intelligence engine, automatic translation would be easier.
You can also make the most powerful translation headset and change the way the world communicates.
As I thought about it, I couldn't keep my eyelids open, so I fell down on the bed and closed my eyes.
After a dreamless night until early morning, I got up to wash up and went to the third floor to have breakfast. Then, I and Luo Kun went to the fourth floor to participate in a novel copyright trade fair.
The Science Fiction Copyright Trade Fair is also organized by the World Science Fiction Association. Science fiction writers from all over the world have the opportunity to meet with film and television companies to negotiate the sale of copyrights.
Of course, usually the initiative is not on the writer¡¯s side. Only when the film and television company comes to them can the transaction be successful.
Although the Hugo Awards ceremony only starts tonight, film and television companies have already begun to follow.Contacted everyone and bought the copyright.
Those novels that can be included in the nomination list have great IP value.
After the security check, Chen Yao and editor Luo Kun walked into the hall. At the same time, a young man with red hair entered the venue.
He attracted more attention than Chen Yao. As soon as he entered the venue, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall, and everyone greeted him one after another.
From their names, Chen Yao recognized that this young man with red hair was Roxas, the writer of "Building a Planet".
Luo Kun said: "He was the winner of the last Hugo Award for Best Novel. In the science fiction world, his reputation is far higher than yours. There is a high possibility that he will win the Hugo Award this time."
Although the editor is on Chen Yao's side, he has to admit that this opponent's strength is quite terrifying.
No matter how popular he is in China and how much halo he has, overseas, he is indeed not as popular as Roxas. This is a fact.
The fame gap between them is also reflected in the bookstore sales. Rojas¡¯s book sales are 1.5 times that of his, and his ranking is also ahead of him.
If we calculate it based on book sales, then Chen Yao will definitely lose if he participates in the Hugo Award.
Fortunately, the nominations for the Hugo Awards are determined by voting by members of the World Science Fiction Association, and sales data is only one indicator.
The copyright of "Surviving Mars" has long been favored by foreign film and television companies. Luo Kun took Chen Yao into a small room.
There was a white man sitting in front of the table. He was looking over with a smile: "Chen, you are welcome."
Luo Kun introduced: "This is the vice president from Black Forest Film and Television Company, named Ilov."
Chen Yao simply said hello to him and sat down opposite him without any stage fright. In terms of status and level, he was not inferior to him at all.
He ordered the staff around him to bring a cup of coffee, and soon the blond foreign girl placed a cup of Blue Mountain in front of Chen Yao.
Black Forest Film and Television is also from Hollywood in the United States and has produced several top-notch masterpieces that have been sold around the world.
Although it is not as good as Warner Brothers and Disney in the industry, it is still quite powerful.
Ilov gently shook the coffee cup and said: "I am very optimistic about the film and television adaptation of "Surviving Mars" and intend to buy it."
As long as the price is right, selling it is also a good choice. Anyway, Chen Yao has countless high-quality resources in his mind, and this one is not bad.
Taking a sip of coffee, Chen Yao said: "Make a price, how much are you willing to pay?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
