Chapter 2237 Will Not Refuse
Li Fan was not surprised by Jared's sudden visit. Seeing Jared walking quickly, Li Fan also walked over quickly.
After approaching, Li Fan smiled and said, "Old friend, you are welcome."
Afterwards, the two chatted for a while.
After the greeting, Jared said, "Mr. Li Fan, the scale of your farm is several times larger than the last time I came here. In fact, I'm just about to take a good turn."
Li Fan smiled and said, "If that's the case, then I'll accompany Mr. Jared for a good walk."
Jared said: "Thank you Mr. Li Fan, this is definitely a good idea."
Then, the two began to walk in the farm.
While walking and talking, the content of the conversation is of course indispensable, about the "Sherlock Holmes" published by Jared Sander Publishing House.
The Sherlock Holmes story has been over for a while, but Sherlock Holmes is still selling well.
Jared and Li Fan both made a lot of money.
Speaking of Sherlock Holmes, Li Fan said with a smile: "Mr. Jared, if I expected it right, the main purpose of this visit should be for Detective Di Renjie."
Jared laughed, and said, "Exactly, Mr. Li Fan will create detective works again. This is definitely a big happy event."
Li Fandao: "But Mr. Jared should know that "Detective Di Renjie" is a koan-type work with the background of the Tang Dynasty in our country, and it is different from "Sherlock Holmes" in many aspects. Interested in the work?"
Li Fan said this on purpose. He wanted to see Jared's opinion on this work. He naturally knew that the work would be equally popular in the West.
The "Da Tang Di Gong Case" by Mr. Gao Luo Pei in the previous life perfectly proves this point.
Although "Da Tang Di Gongan" was written by a Westerner Mr. Gao Luopei, its cultural background, narrative techniques and other aspects are completely typical Chinese koan case writing style, without the slightest shadow of Western detective writing style .
Then, "The Case of Di Gong in the Tang Dynasty" can sell well in various western countries, and so can "Detective Di Renjie" written by Li Fan.
Li Fan guessed from the beginning that Jared is likely to come for "Detective Di Renjie".
Now that is the case.
When Jared heard Li Fan say this, he laughed again and said, "Sure, Mr. Li Fan, of course I am interested in this work. I know that "Detective Di Renjie" is a koan-type work in your country, and it is very similar to Western works. There are big differences in the writing techniques of the detective works of Detective, but the essence of the detective solving the case is the same. I have already found someone to translate and read the first case of "Detective Di Renjie", I think Di Renjie's charm is not in Sherlock Holmes. Next. They are the best detectives. Moreover, by reading this work, you can also have a fairly in-depth understanding of the history and culture of your country in the Tang Dynasty. Nowadays, people in many western countries are familiar with the history and culture of your country. I have a very strong interest. Therefore, I believe that "Detective Di Renjie" will be welcomed by readers in various western countries. Of course, the main reason why I am so sure is that this is Mr. Li Fan's work. Facts Now, Sherlock Holmes fans in various Western countries already know that Mr. Li Fan is creating the detective work "Detective Di Renjie" again, and their desire to see this work is already very strong."
"Oh? Those Sherlock Holmes already know about it?" Li Fan didn't know this. He hadn't paid much attention to the news of those Sherlock Holmes fans recently.
Jared smiled and said, "I already knew it. In fact, they already knew it before the serialization of "Detective Di Renjie". The major events such as Mr. Li Fan's creation of detective works, the media in various Western countries The reporting may not necessarily be much later than the media in China.”
Li Fan nodded, this is not surprising. Because of the huge influence of Sherlock Holmes, the news of Li Fan's re-creation of detective works will indeed attract the attention of various Western countries at the first time.
The reports of those national media may not be much better than the media in China, but Li Fan has not paid much attention to it recently, and he doesn't know much about it.
Afterwards, Jared said again: "Mr. Li Fan, we, Sound Publishing House, want to publish "Detective Di Renjie", I wonder if Mr. Li Fan is willing? Of course, Mr. Li Fan is free to open the conditions. We at Sand Press agree."
"Oh?" Li Fan smiled and said, "Mr. Jared seems very optimistic about the market prospects of this work."
Jared said: "It's natural. I can't say it's going to sell as well as Sherlock Holmes, but it's definitely not that bad."
Li Fan nodded, because of the cultural background and writing style of surprise, "Detective Di Renjie" did not sell "Sherlock Holmes", but the gap is definitely not too big.
Of course, although the previous life Mr. Gao Luopei's "The Case of Di Gong in the Tang Dynasty" was a hot seller in many western countries, its sales were still far from that of "Sherlock Holmes" and could not be compared.
But the situation is different now. Now Li Fan is the author of "Sherlock Holmes", which has laid the most solid foundation for the sales of "Detective Di Renjie".
"Detective Di Renjie" has not been officially released in the West, and readers in various Western countries already have a strong desire to read it.
Its sales base is countless times stronger than that of Mr.
Furthermore, when Mr. Gao Luopei's "The Case of Di Gong in the Tang Dynasty" came out, "The Cases of Sherlock Holmes" had been published for decades, but it is different now.
Of course, the most important reason is that Li Fan himself, book fans in various Western countries, expects Li Fan to create detective works again, and its intensity is by no means lower than that of Chinese book fans.
Now, Li Fan finally recreates detective works. Although it is not a detective work with a Western background, it is not a big problem for book fans in Western countries. As long as it is a detective work created by Li Fan, no matter it is a Western The background, or the Chinese background, is enough to make them excited.
At most, it is a little regret. If it is still based on the Western world, it will be even more perfect.
This is actually the main reason why Jared is so optimistic about the sales prospects of "Detective Di Renjie".
Jared wanted to publish "Detective Di Renjie", and Li Fan naturally would not refuse. He originally planned to publish "Detective Di Renjie" in Western countries. He wanted to let book fans in those countries know that there is also a detective in China, whose strength is by no means inferior to Sherlock Holmes. In some respects, he even has Of.
He wants Di Renjie to become a world-renowned detective like Sherlock Holmes.
At the same time, it can also be regarded as a tribute to the "Da Tang Di Gong Case" by Mr. Gao Luopei.
As for the publishing conditions, since Jared asked Li Fan to mention it casually, no matter what the conditions were, he agreed. Moreover, Li Fan knew that Jared really thought so.
Then, Li Fan is not going to make any excessive conditions, and everything will be done according to the standards of Sherlock Holmes.
