Chapter 175 Blank Paper
"The Worry-Free Grocery Store" is the most tender and clever novel Susan has ever read.
What made her unforgettable was the blank letter.
This letter was a prop used by the fugitive trio to test that the mailbox could travel through time and space. However, this letter was sent to the owner of the Jieyou Grocery Store, and he sent it back after answering it. In the story, the two groups of people who help others relieve their worries, the first This time there was an answer.
The shopkeeper’s answer is:
"If people who come to me for consultation are lost sheep, they usually have a map in their hands but don't look at it, or they don't know their current location. But I believe you don't belong to any of these situations. Your map is a blank piece of paper, so even if you want to decide your destination, you don't know where the road is.
Having a map with a blank sheet of paper is of course very nerve-wracking and anyone would be at a loss.
However, you might as well think about it from another angle. Just because it is a blank paper, you can draw any map and everything is in your own hands. You are free and full of infinite possibilities. This is a great thing.
I sincerely pray that you can believe in yourself and burn your life without regrets. "
A casual piece of blank paper and a sincere reply brought an end to this book and also to Susan's reading.
Susan took a long breath, put down the book and looked at her grandmother tenderly.
Grandma was also looking at her, with a smile in her eyes.
Grandma said: "This book is really good."
She felt like she had walked through the life of a group of kind and healing people, extending the time for a few days.
Susan covered her with the quilt and said, "The author of the new book I want to publish is a - a very good person."
Grandma did not speak.
Susan paused for a moment and said, "Grandma."
"Um?"
"I love you."
Susan lived with her grandmother when she was a child. This book healed them for a while, but her grandmother healed her childhood.
Grandma smiled lightly and slowly fell asleep.
Susan put the manuscript away. This book now has a more important meaning to her. It has cured the difficult time between her and her grandmother, lengthened the time and memories they spent together, and made this time meaningful. A marker.
Perhaps this is the greatest significance of the book.
Susan has also proofread the book, and the next step is to plan, design and publish it. Their translation publishing house is different from Xu Guangzheng Publishing House. Most of the books they publish are foreign classics, and occasionally there are new foreign books, so there is no problem in pushing back the schedule.
The rest is published in the island country.
This was requested by the Big Devil. In her words, since it was written in an island country, how could it not be published in an island country?
This is not a big problem. They are responsible for the international copyright of "The Little Prince". Not long ago, a well-known publishing house in the island country contacted them to purchase the copyright, and then we just continue to cooperate with them.
But just when Susan was about to contact them, her finger stopped on the name of an islander in the address book.
This is a colleague and an editor, and he works as an editor at Lukawa Bookstore, an equally large publishing house.
Susan had dealt with him before he was promoted. He is a very old-fashioned person, but he is worthy of the author's trust. The reason they were dealing with was the copyright issue of a book, and the author had given full authority to this editor out of trust.
He does things in a conscientious manner, and you can tell from a glance that he is a very reliable person.
The Japanese version of "The Little Prince" has not yet been published, but Susan knows that "The Little Prince" has exploded in Europe and the United States, bringing it popularity in the island country, and some animation companies are even planning animations in advance. However, the agent named Andy that the Big Devil was looking for was a difficult person, and the Big Devil's conditions were harsh, focusing on issues such as the copyright period and profit sharing, so the agreement was not reached for a long time.
No matter what you say.
If Jiang Yang’s new work is published in the island country, there will definitely be many publishing houses willing to cooperate.
But they are mostly treated as commodities.
Just like some books that are obviously good, but have to add a lot of book covers recommended by Internet celebrities, the original good books also become daunting.
Based on the significance of this book to Susan, Susan felt that it was most appropriate to hand it over to this editor. No matter in terms of cover design, planning and publicity, he would definitely be more in line with the style and spirit of the book.
The editor’s name is Mitsuhiro Tada, and Susan sent him an email.
…
Rainy day.
It is suitable for staying at home, talking about love and making babies, but Jiang Yang has to come out.
A handcrafted violin is really not that simple to make. Since it is custom-made, personalization must be taken into consideration.
Specifically, it includes aesthetics, strings, playing methods, etc.
This stumped Jiang Yang. If he had to ask directly, the gift would not be such a surprise.
He thought about it over and over again, and after a day of making insinuations, he finally figured it out, but he didn't know if it could be done.
He got out of the subway under an umbrella, then transferred to a bus, and finally got off the bus at the entrance of the alley he had come from. When he entered the yard again, rainwater dripped from the eaves into the jar, and the leaves were as green as wash, making it look like a unique scene.
Hong Shan and Wen Nier are both there.
Hongshan is taking action.
There is also an old man on the workbench, polishing wood. That is Mr. Hong, the master violin maker.
Jiang Yang took out a small notebook and hurriedly told the old man the relevant information.
The old man just said "hmm" a few times but didn't remember it. Jiang Yang didn't know if he remembered it.
Hong Shan asked him to sit down, "Don't worry, my dad has remembered everything."
He brought another can of Coke to Jiang Yang. At this time, Mr. Hong said, "Hey, why are you drinking my Coke again?"
Jiang Yang stopped taking the Coke.
Hong Shan: “I’ll make it up for you later.”
Mr. Hong is old and likes to drink Coke. Hong Shan is afraid that he will have high sugar levels, so he stipulates one can of Coke every two days. There are enough Cokes in the house. If Jiang Yang drinks more cans, the old man will drink one less can.
Mr. Hong then continued to work.
Jiang Yang thought, is it really appropriate for them to sit here drinking Coke and wine while the old man is working?
They sat down and chatted about the violin for a while, but Jiang Yang knew very little about the violin. Mr. Hong shook his head: "Those requests just now show that he is someone who knows how to play the violin. Marrying you is really a waste."
Hong Shan asked Jiang Yang to ignore the old man. He was old and a bit cynical.
They soon talked about Shi Shi again, and Hong Shan asked: "I heard that you gave him a script?"
"yes."
Jiang Yang thought it would be nice to play together.
Hong Shan gave Jiang Yang a thumbs up: "You are awesome! Now you are on his blacklist."
"ah?"
Jiang Yang didn’t understand what was wrong with him.
"I don't know the specifics. I haven't read your script. After Shitou read it, I thought he was the caged bird." Hong Shan said that Shitou wanted to break free. After reading the script, he got excited and wanted to close the store and resume his old business.
Then-
His wife started to quarrel with him, and Shi Tou is coaxing her now.
But Shitou also firmly stated that he would film this drama.
Now equals Double Hard Mode.
"this-"
Jiang Yang felt that he had to contact Shitou. If the family broke up, he would be guilty.
The stone is at Uncle Wang's theater.
Uncle Wang and the others have a performance today. When Jiang Yang heard about it, he said goodbye to Hongshan and went to the theater.
After Jiang Yang left, Wen Nier called Sister Chen: "Jiang Yang is gone."
“Okay, we’ll go there later.”
After hanging up the phone, Wen Nier shook her head.
The Great Demon King knew Jiang Yang's intention and planned to come over later and tell Mr. Hong personally, but he did not intend to let Jiang Yang know.
Show this affection on their faces.
There is one more chapter, half written.
Believe me.
