Chapter 192: Going to be Published in the US?

  I read (no pop-up full text)

  "At first, I finished reading 'The Three-Body Problem' and thought that this time Yu Jing and Liu Cixin's confrontation, the winner must be Yu Jing, because 'The Three-Body Problem' is indeed very wonderful, whether it is character setting or background, it can be said to be a masterpiece of domestic science fiction. In fact, 'The Three-Body Problem' is a collaborative masterpiece written by Liu Cixin and his brother Liu Yang, and the two brothers are actually one person."

  "Winning is always the original intention, losing is always the inevitable outcome. This was what I thought when I translated one-third of 'The Matrix'. But the subsequent development was too powerful. Without this background setting, this sci-fi movie might not even be considered second-rate, which means '2012' is three levels higher than it. However, with this background and the plot twist of Cypher's betrayal, it has been raised to an international level, which can be said to be the biggest reversal of the year." Mo Xiaodi's beautiful eyes shone with an unusual light.

  "Internationally renowned?" Mo Fen was shocked, although in her perception "The Matrix" was extremely brilliant, but she didn't think it had reached the pinnacle of international level. There were so many science fiction writers, but those who could reach the international level and be recognized by the international mainstream could be counted on one hand, and now another Su Xier Chen was to be added to this group. The first science fiction novel could reach such a level, Su Xier Chen's strength was truly frightening!

  "Momo, you didn't hear wrong, 'The Matrix' is absolutely an internationally top-notch sci-fi! Even if it were to be taken to the US, it would still be a top-tier sci-fi. Compared to 'The Matrix', 'Doomsday Earth' isn't even on the same level, and domestically, only Chu Xing's sci-fi can compare to it." Mo Xiaodi said resolutely.

  "The result of this sci-fi showdown is already very clear, Su Xichen has created a miracle again!" The tone suddenly changed "Mo Mo, you must remember the promise you made to me!"

  "Got it!" Mo Fen said.

  It's obviously not addictive, Mo Xiaodi held the book and read it again, each time he read it, he had different thoughts, in his previous life Su Shilei had watched this movie six times.

  "It's really over just like that." Mo Xiaodi felt indignant and unfulfilled, as if he had been cut off mid-sentence. It was like being bitten on the tongue while kissing, a frustrating and powerless feeling that left him unfinished.

  Actually, ending it in the middle is the best choice, as it benefits the attractiveness of the next installment. The Matrix perfectly employs this method, and the digital world is ultimately a virtual one. The protagonist Neo can see through computer code, so he is invincible within the matrix, like Superman. In the final moment, Neo saw through it, became invincible, and the first installment ended that way.

  The protagonist in this book can be said to be at a disadvantage, and it's not easy to realize that they are invincible. Mo Xiaodi just wanted to see how the protagonist would behave after becoming invincible, but what's infuriating is that the first part abruptly ends here!

  That's infuriating, Mo Xiaodi really had an urge to tear up the book, and it's not just Mo Xiaodi who has this idea.

  "Misty, when will the second part of 'The Matrix' be released? Are you from Warner Bros., do you have any inside information?" Mo Xiaodi was anxious! She thought it would be best if it were released this afternoon, no, even better if it were released now!"

  Still the same old saying: ideals are plump, reality is bony. The first part has just been released, how can the second part be that fast?

  "I don't know, but I haven't heard anything about a second installment, maybe Su Ruo Chen hasn't written it yet."

  "Haven't written it out yet?" Mo Xiaodi immediately looked crestfallen, because she thought of the "Huang Yu" series of books, and Su Xierchen this scoundrel wouldn't also treat Hei Mi like that!

  ……

  "What are you following me for, Xianxian?" Su Shichen was puzzled. Today, he had accepted Professor Yang Jie's invitation to go to the professor's home to see the mysterious surprise that the professor had mentioned.

  However, Wang Shan found out about this and it was a big deal. She made a fuss and insisted on coming along. Generally speaking, women have three ultimate techniques to deal with men: crying, making a scene, and threatening to hang themselves. Now, the third one can be changed to self-inflicted torture. Wang Shan's crying and making a scene were absolutely perfect, and in the end, Su Xichen, who was annoyed to the point of having a big headache, had no choice but to agree to let Wang Shan follow along like a little tail.

  "Cut it out, you think I want to follow you? Don't be ridiculous, I just wanted to travel around casually." Three years had passed, and the little girl from back then had now become a slender and elegant young lady, but one thing remained unchanged - she still liked to be unreasonable.

  Su Shi turned his head, with an air of not bothering to argue with this little girl.

  "By the way, Su the great writer, since you brought me here I'll tell you a piece of good news."

  "Good news?" Su Xichen looked at Wang Shan with a skeptical gaze, the meaning of this gaze and action was already very obvious.

  "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, the cultural input of Japanese anime, and so on, can all be considered as cultural invasion. But what has China exported to the outside world?

  Martial arts? Don't be ridiculous, what do Americans know about martial arts? Su Xianchen remembered that he had once seen an 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 isn't even any Chinese Kung Fu to export.

  How can the great China only import but not export 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 thrilling 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 one's own country, and then implementing cultural dissemination is the complete plan. However, China has not yet reached the top, let alone conquered Asia, so how can it directly jump to the United States? 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 Zhechen 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 the great author? Is this 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 delightful.

  "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 eternal 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 is a huge sales success, but due to some negative news, its reputation is not good. This situation is called "attracting attention but not praise", while The Matrix can achieve both fame and fortune, attracting both attention and praise.

  Ghost Blows Lamp and The Matrix, two more books, now he can finally go do what he's always wanted to do...

  The door creaked open with a "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 'Hacker Empire: Hacker Mission'." Actually, Su Xichen had forgotten about it when he came, luckily on the way, he saw a crowded bookstore with most people buying "Hacker 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, 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 tens of yuan." Yang Jie said with a smile.

  This is naturally a joke, who is Yang Jiezi? 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 Yang Jie's surprise wouldn't be like Wang Shan's, which was a disappointment...
