724. A sought-after job
What else can be done next? Zhao Shuren said so. He has always been paying for the first time in Siyue Culture, but he has worked as a workload of a domestic front-line publishing house except for giants such as Commercial Press. The old man has always been working hard and conscientiously. Therefore, even Yang Yi, as the founder and **oss of Yang Yi Culture, still has to listen to the old man’s opinions in some matters.
Moreover, even if Zhao Shuren doesn't say it, Yang Yi himself is quite clear. If he wants to do a cultural industry, then the focus is on how to make profits and development. But if he wants to do cultural undertakings, then the impression that Yang Yi Culture left to the public and the senior management department cannot be the image of "business and business", but must clearly show his corporate sentiment and pay attention to the cultural field, rather than just to make money.
As for how to create this image, the first is naturally self-promotion and to show the appearance of a cultural enterprise with ideals, ambitions and ability to the outside world. The second point is that we must take the initiative to move closer to the "organization". Yangyi Culture and its two founders are not people in the organization, but they can show their willingness to accept the organization and get close to the organization. Doing so will not make people disgusted, but will make the leaders of the competent departments in the system feel that Yangyi Culture and Rogo and Yangyi can be trusted and entrusted with important tasks.
A very typical Chinese characteristic. In his heart, Yang Yi does not agree with this behavior pattern, but he just wants many things that reborn people cannot do. If he wants to achieve things without the influence of "official-oriented" it is almost a delusional thing. In order to think of the final ideal, Yang Yi believes that some things can still be with the light, as long as they do not touch their own bottom line.
Next, he talked to Zhao Shuren about his ideas on reforming the editorial department and received the full support of the other party. He then talked to the old man about the pure literary anecdotes, and then watched the latter leave with satisfaction.
There is almost no leisure time. The boy almost never stopped writing "The Collapse of the Empire" and the translation of "Twilight". The former is one of the few books that have been deeply impressed after his rebirth. Including "Tough Stone" and this book, as well as another Pulitzer award-winning work "March", these three books are quite impressive in the pure literature, while the remaining are best-selling novels with a deeper commercial level, including "Ghost Blows Out the Light", "Bright Sword", "Twilight" and other seven or eight novels, which are almost all commercial books. Therefore, the books that Yang Yi can "copy" are only two or three slaps, no more than fifteen. As for some other books, they only remember one of them. They cannot achieve a height of more than 90%.
But now the two books he took out are exactly two that were particularly profound in his memory. Therefore, whether it is a re-written "The Collapse of the Empire" from the perspective and thinking of an Oriental person, or a translation of "Twilight" based on his proficiency in English as a capital, it is a compact but not stressful job for boys, and the rhythm is always high-speed. However, it is not very brain-consuming - well, it may be a bit of energy to adapt the former, full of obvious Citi-style novels into Chinese-style novels. But with the experience of adapting "Tough Stone", this time, compared to the first time doing this, it can be considered much easier and more familiar.
As for the issue of translating "Twilight", after contacting the School of Foreign Languages of Zhenda University. Yang Yi offered a salary that was absolutely top-notch according to the current domestic market, and also promised to write the translator's name on the final publication of the book. As soon as the news came out, it was not reached the undergraduate school, and the graduate students who learned the news were intercepted by some young teaching assistants, and they all took on this job task with good rewards.
At first, the League Secretary of the Foreign Languages School contacted the Yangyi Culture President Office and learned the news. After hearing the specific remuneration, the female league secretary who was less than 40 years old became more careful. He did not call the counselor in charge of student work and arranged tasks downwards. Instead, he directly notified the assistant teacher of a college who had always been close to him. However, during the notification process, he didn't know how to let the other vice president hear the news. This happened to be a book lover and was somewhat clear about the market conditions of the publishing industry and the domestic book market, so he notified several of his graduate students. For leaders of key universities and colleges who have already become the top student, although the salary offered by Yangyi Culture is good, it will not touch them. What really touched the vice president was the condition for clearly signing the translator's name on the work.
He knew how terrifying the young man from Yangyi Culture had achieved in writing over the past two years - all commercial works have almost become best-sellers in the top ten sales of the year, and the only pure literary work has won the Booker Award, the highest honor in the British literary world. If you do not pay attention to the works of such a talented writer, what else should you pay attention to?
Although there is really not much to say about this book "Twilight", which needs to be translated, in terms of literary and artistic nature, the vice dean is also a discerning person. After hearing the news, he casually scanned the writing background of the novel, the materials used, and the specific writing techniques of the words and sentences, and immediately concluded that this "Twilight" was aimed at the foreign market at the beginning of his writing. Although he was not clear about the domestic sales, it is certain that even if this novel cannot become a super bestseller due to the writer's identity and reader recognition, it definitely has the potential of a general bestseller.
If you have a disciple who can sign the book cover, you can get a lot of benefits from it, whether for yourself or as a teacher.
Therefore, after saying hello, he made a decision and wanted to assign the qualification to be a "second-hand translator" to his graduate students.
But before, because the League Secretary had already disclosed this news to a certain assistant teacher, how could he feel happy now after being stabbed? Therefore, at her seemingly unrestrained gesture, the assistant teacher simply pretended not to know anything, pretending to have obtained the translation qualification, and exposed the matter. After learning about the salary given by Yang Yi Culture, especially after agreeing to sign the translator's name, Zhendan Foreign Languages College, all those with some connections, all the Eight Immortals cross the sea to show their magical powers and find their own relationships.
The translation circle is actually not very big. Generally speaking, for ordinary publications, there are people waiting to divide this kind of work, whether it is for people who are familiar with them. Or just go to the university to find a foreign language student, which is almost the same as one or two hundred thousand words. It is not worth the person who breaks his head and grabs it. But this time, Yang Yi offered a reward of five hundred thousand words, which is a big move. Moreover, according to the price of the translation circle, once a translator translates a best-selling book or a relatively important task, then when he or she takes on the task in the future, his or her value will rise, and it cannot be the same as the previous price.
In fact, this is the real reason why Yang Yi made such a promise, and he attracted a lot of people and others to flock to him. Just one or two high-paying tasks are nothing, but it is related to the value of his childhood in taking on jobs in the future, so everyone cannot ignore it.
So after a lot of competition, the League Secretary wanted to assign the task to his colleagues with good relationships. The plan was naturally disappointed, and the vice dean who was struggling in the middle could not laugh to the end. In this competition between more than a dozen people for a translation qualification, an ordinary junior student finally won the first place. Compared with others, this student had no advantage. The capital to pass the junior college entrance examination was not enough to see any other competitor, but because of the strong push by the college dean, he got this good thing that many people dream of.
"The translation recommended by Mr. Yang Zhendan has come over and is waiting outside. Look?" A secretary walked into Yang Yi's office and watched the young man get out of his work state at his desk, and quickly reported it.
"Oh? I'm here, then bring me a look." Yang Yi moved his eyes, which were a little sore, and looked at the city outside the window and closed his eyes. Computer writing and paper writing have their own advantages and disadvantages. Although the former is very fast, it is very suitable for Yang Yi, who "written like a god", but after a long time facing the computer screen, his work fatigue in his eyes is inevitable. So in the office, he also deliberately kept paper and pen, and needed to change his mood or use it when he turned to a low-intensity working state.
Not long after the secretary went out, he brought back a ponytail black-framed glasses. His face could only be said to be moderate, but he did not have the kind of woman with half of the students' restrained expressions. Then he introduced him very diligently: "This is Han Fei, a classmate introduced by Zhendan Foreign Languages College. We have read the letter of introduction to the school she brought. It is indeed a letter from Zhenda Foreign Languages College. I don't know if Mr. Yang has any other instructions."
He looked up at the female college student and Yang Yi waved at the secretary, signaling that the other party could leave, and then turned to the girl's face that might be the first time she saw her, so she had a slightly surprised expression.
Since the girl was sent to take on the translation task, she must be recognized by her level. In theory, she would also introduce her own situation to the other party in advance so that it would not make people blindly come over. But after understanding the situation, she couldn't help but show this expression. It seemed that she was indeed surprised by her age.
However, boys have passed that kind of period, no matter who is surprised, they will feel vanity and satisfaction. He is just an ordinary person who is more mentally than the surface and is generally mature. If he is an ordinary person, he will feel vanity. When Yang Yi's vanity is not something that can be created against anyone. Only at the same level - at least at least level cannot be too different from him, can he feel this feeling. The envy, jealousy and hatred of ordinary people are almost completely immune now. (To be continued.
