As it turns out, efficiency is really resilient.

How long does it take to translate a book of hundreds of thousands of words into another language?

Normally, a few months are wanted.

For example, if you want to translate the book "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" from English to Chinese, it is not only a simple literal translation, but also a consideration of the magic system and the translation standards of various magical items.

However, translating from Chinese to English is much simpler.

To put it bluntly, this was originally the original English version of the goods, and after Sun Ya said that she would provide the cost of translation, Seal Publishing House naturally cooperated with Le. Deputy Editor-in-Chief Annie? Under Carpenter's full operation, it only took a month and a half to prepare five mainstream European and American language versions; In Asia, the speed is even more exaggerated, for example, the Japanese version has been compressed to about 30 days!

And before the translation began, propaganda had already begun in Europe and the United States.

"The Western version of the classic "Han Bo and the Spirit Stone", the little wizard Harry Potter is shocking!"

"The latest masterpiece of the original author of "The Lion King", taking you to experience the magic of the wizarding world."

"After Aisha, the Snow Queen, Laobai once again creates a classic magical fairy tale, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone takes you to experience the modern magical world."

"Do you want to go to a magic school hidden in modern Britain?"

……

And with the publicity offensive of Seal Press, Hollywood's Haymons Pictures will naturally not let go of such an opportunity easily, and also began to warm up the movie...... It's too early, but that's okay, they have a big killer move!

"With a total investment of 200 million US dollars, Hymens Pictures won the film adaptation rights of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"!"

"Filming will start within the year, the famous director Hakanth? Scolari announces joining! ”

"Haymen Pictures announced the launch of the global casting plan for "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", and the positions of the three young protagonists are waiting for them."

……

And almost as far as the publicity of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", the warm-up for "Murder on the Western Express" has also begun. Only this time Seal Press was quite low-key, just hanging a banner on its website and sending a few messages - after all, they had just won the publishing rights to the book, and it seemed that the translation was still far away......

Let's not talk about "Murder on the Western Express", after all, the reasoning culture in Europe and the United States is prevalent, and thousands of works are published every year, and a Chinese person's reasoning is nothing at all, and Sun Peng is not a traditional reasoning master, and not many people generally pay attention to it. However, the news of the publication of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" has aroused the interest of many people.

After all, the craze of "The Lion King" has not completely passed.

For example, Yulia? Miller, after seeing the news in the morning, she said to her daughter as soon as possible: "Karen, don't you like those two wizards of Laobai very much? You know, he just wrote a wizard's version called Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone......"

Compared to when she first bought Laobai's "Frozen" a few years ago, Yulia now? Miller's attitude was completely different.

Or rather, she has built trust in the name laobai in her heart.

Especially after watching the new anime The Lion King not long ago, Yulia? Miller is now ...... to the old white Or that his works are getting more and more liked, so it is natural to see that he has a new book published!

"Well, I already knew."

Karen who was playing with her phone while eating breakfast without waiting for her mother to finish speaking? Miller replied without looking up.

"Really? That's great! ”

A look of anticipation flashed in her eyes, and Yulia said excitedly: "I'll call Mr. Erwin when I go back and ask him to book a set for you...... Shall we go to the bookstore together this Saturday afternoon to pick it up? ”

"Going to the bookstore? Of course not! ”

Still not looking up, Karen? Miller pouted: "Who still goes to the bookstore to buy books these days?" My friends and I have already placed an order online, and it will be delivered to my home tomorrow! Oh, by the way, in order to save shipping costs, we bought it together with three people, and sent it to our house, so don't mess with my package then! ”

At the end of the sentence, Cullen finally looked away from the screen of her phone and glanced at her mother.

But just a glance, and soon her little head lowered again.

“……”

Take a deep breath, Yulia? Miller reluctantly suppressed the anger that rushed up, and after biting her lip hard, her heart inexplicably swelled with sadness.

Until now, Yulia? Miller still remembers the scene when he bought "Frozen" for his children.

How cute Karen was at that time!

I pestered myself almost every day, especially the day when I went to the bookstore to choose books every month, and I was even more elated as if I was spending Christmas. But at that time, she was busy with life, and even took taking her children to the bookstore as a good time to catch her breath, and now, if she wants to get along with her children more, Karen doesn't care much about herself......

"By the way, Mom, can you give me a hundred euros?"

At this moment, Karen suddenly raised his head and said, "I paid for all the books in advance, so I don't even have five euros on me now!" So, can you advance your pocket money for the next month? ”

“…… Alright!"

After a secret sigh, Yulia? Miller could only take out his mobile phone and smile bitterly: "I don't have any cash on me, so I'll use my mobile phone to transfer you a hundred euros......"

……

Although it is a wizard's version, the Chinese version of the book "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was released in Huaxia at about the same time as the English version.

It's just that compared with the expectations overseas, the domestic voices are a little uneven.

"How did I hear that this little magician version was used by Lao Bai to cheat money?"

After reading Zhao Zhihuo's list of books to buy this month, his wife frowned and thought for a while, and couldn't help but want to delete "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

"Cheating money? How can it be?! ”

After listening to his wife's words, Zhao Zhihuo almost laughed angrily: "You want to say that other authors do this to me to believe it, but you want to say that Lao Bai will write a book to cheat money...... He's a billionaire, can he use it? ”

I couldn't get used to Zhao Zhihuo's reaction, so my wife glared at him and asked, "Isn't it cheating money?" Then why is it the same story, almost the same plot, to write another magician version? Isn't it that the little wizard sells a lot in Europe and the United States, so he has a favorite magician to come out? And even the background of the story has been put in the UK! ”

"Yo? You know so well?! ”

didn't rush immediately, Zhao Zhihuo gave his wife a strange look.

"Nonsense, who made the girl shout to see it a few days ago?"

glared at Zhao Zhihuo again, and she said angrily.

"Haha......"

Hearing his wife say this, Zhao Zhihuo was suddenly happy. Because he knows that with his daughter's words, this set of books in his shopping cart must not be deleted!

"Ding Dong!"

At this time, Zhao Zhihuo's mobile phone suddenly remembered the prompt tone, which made his eyes light up instantly: "Ouch, Lao Bai finally posted on Weibo again, I guess it must be about this book, take a look at it......"
