“It’s beautiful and spectacular.”

Zhang Chu stood on the top of the mountain and watched the waves slapping the reefs not far away. He breathed in the slightly salty and humid air, and he suddenly felt that getting up early was worth it!

The breath of the qi dissipated a lot when he woke up, so he turned his head and said, "For the sake of such a beautiful sunrise, I will forgive you for yelling me out of bed."

Blair sat on the stone without any image. He looked at the rising sun and quipped: "There are not many places where you can see the sunrise on the sea in California. Today we actually enjoy this sunrise alone."

"Not exclusive, don't you see there is a family on the beach over there?" Zhang Chu pointed to the small black dot on the beach in the distance.

The family of four probably came late, so they simply stood on the beach and did not climb to the top of the mountain.

"How did you feel when you came to the United States?"

"The air of freedom and democracy is not sweeter, it smells the same." Zhang Chu said jokingly.

But Brian didn't understand the meme and asked in confusion: "What does it mean?"

"It's just a joke. Actually, it's almost the same. I should go and enjoy the Metropolitan Museum of New York."

"I miss it now after leaving the wet place in London. If you come to New York, I will take you to see the Metropolitan Museum. However, the things inside are not as rich as the British Museum and are shocking. There are many precious cultural relics from your China and are well preserved."

"Man, are you sure you want to talk to me about this?" Zhang Chu couldn't help rolling his eyes. Who wouldn't know that the things in these two museums were stolen from China in modern times.

Blair is now

Zhang Chu sat on the ground, feeling the whirlwind of the sea breeze, and watching a few red-mouthed seagulls fly by, he pointed to the beach below and said, "Let's go, take me back to the hotel, I have to go to bed."

"You want to sleep in such a good view? Why not talk about your new book?"

Blair had no preparation at all, so he asked about the purpose of his trip.

If it weren't for the new book, he wouldn't have flew from New York to Los Angeles in the middle of the night to urge for manuscripts.

Zhang Chu was a little helpless at this time, "You know, many of the works I have written recently are unique to China, and this part is probably difficult for you to accept."

"If you don't try it, how can you know you can't accept it? At the beginning of your release, many people said that it could not be read, but it turned out that they were wrong!"

Blair was a little excited, and he persuaded: "Now your fame is in the rising stage in the United States, Britain and the European continent. You should launch more and better ones to consolidate this position. I heard that you have published quite a lot of works in China in the past six months, so you should not give up the current vast market!"

It is not easy to conquer the country, but it is also not easy to defend the country.

The overseas market is quite difficult to conquer. Now Blair thinks that Zhang Chu is wasting opportunities. How many Chinese writers can sell their works globally?

He finally gained popularity with the TV series and finally won the Booker Award. If he didn't strike while the iron was hot, the book market would forget his name.

Zhang Chu obviously knows this truth, but it is not easy to take into account both the overseas market and the domestic market. Different readers have different cultural backgrounds and reading needs.

Just like "Sherlock" who sells well overseas, even if he has the support of a popular British drama in China, his sales volume is not as strong as "Ghost Blows Out the Light"!

The consequence of being too greedy may be that both sides are not pleased and give up both markets. So Zhang Chu’s current idea is to stabilize the domestic market first, and overseas sales will be enough.

In the near future, there are bbc's TV series "Sheroke 2" and Warner Bros. "Pi" movies that will be supported, and there will be attention in the next year.

"In fact, I did have a work I wanted to publish recently, but it was not, but a professional and academic one. It was about the history of the Ming Dynasty in China."

"The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" was originally written in English, but now Zhang Chu is just restoring it!

Blair frowned and said seriously: "There are too few readers here who are interested in history. We are not interested in our own history. How can we be interested in your Chinese history? Unless you are planning to sell it to researchers, how many researchers do you think will be interested in this book and work written by a young man in his twenties?"

This is a rough word or not. The academic community is a place to look at fame. How can you, a student, believe what you have written?

However, Zhang Chu said easily: "How can I know if I don't try this kind of thing? What's more, my book is recognized in China. Although there are many negative reviews, most of them are positive reviews."

"Then you start writing." Blair had no choice. In the past, he convinced writers to rely on interests and ideals.

Now Zhang Chu is on the side of his ideals, and it is useless to tempt his own profits because Zhang Chu is not short of money at all!

Even though this is a waste of time, Zhang Chu has a waste of money. He is young and has not released the film and television works of the same name yet. Even if no one has read the books he has published now, he will bring his popularity back after the movie is released.

This is why writers like to sell film and television copyrights. They can not only make money, but also turn words into images, and eventually feed back to book sales.

"Actually, I've almost finished writing it. I've been preparing the English version before when I was writing the Chinese version. I have been preparing for it for almost three months, but I still need to make simple modifications."

Zhang Chu stood up and revealed the good news to Blair, which was also an explanation for him flying all the way to Los Angeles.

He doesn't have many plans at the moment. He originally planned to hand over "The 15th Year of Wanli" to Blair during the United States, and then consider what works to write in the future when he returns to China.

The current Nanhai Publishing Company can be said to be in pain and happiness. "The Legend of Wukong" is still under promotion, "Farewell My Concubine" has not been discovered yet, and now there is another "Ghost Blows Out the Light: Dragon Ridge Mysterious Cave".

In other words, in the next month, Zhang Chu has a new book on the market, some of which are what readers have read, while others are completely unfamiliar.

"Really? Has it been written?" Blair was resurrected in a state of full blood and said with the car keys: "Let's go, go back to the hotel and let me take a look in advance."

I was despised by "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" before, but now I want to see it soon. It’s faster to change my face than to read it!
