Kevin is the main character of tonight's party. There is no doubt that many people come here with their champagne in their hands and toast each other. Kevin also met a lot of British literary predecessors who had been successful for a long time.
These seniors are very impressed by Kevin's modesty after he won the title of poet laureate. At this time, they finally understand the difference between Kevin and his peers.
Jennings has never talked to Kevin since he met him in Edinburgh. This time, he took advantage of this opportunity to sit in a corner and chat with Kevin.
Jennings was very appreciative of Kevin's talent. After Kevin won the title of poet laureate, he was more sure that he didn't miss it.
Jennings also said that after going back, he would carefully read the collection of all living beings several times, and if he could, he would choose some poems in it to be included in the British textbooks. After all, every song in this poetry collection is so wonderful that it can be used as a template for students to learn.
Kevin is very grateful to Jennings for his value, so at this time he is also chatting with each other and toasting each other.
Tonight, the night is beautiful, the air is full of romance and literature. But it's all about a man named Kevin, who became the main character tonight because of his award. Perhaps, in his 20s, he won the highest honor in British poetry, which is unprecedented.
Kevin also deeply believes that unless there is a person from the earth like himself in this parallel world, and he has to love literature and have a thing called literary memory system. Otherwise, no one can ever break this literary achievement.
By the end of the party, it was late at night, and Kevin was arranged by the staff of the British Poetry Association to return to the prince hotel room. Because he had a lot of wine tonight, he just lay down and fell asleep.
When I woke up the next day, it was already 12 o'clock at noon. After sleeping so much, Kai Wenming felt a little dizzy. But the problem now is to fix his stomach. So, after washing, he went down to the next floor and had a lunch.
After lunch, Kevin has to go to the Royal poetry publishing house to sign the collection of living beings. He didn't sign the signed version of the 1000 copies before the banquet, so he had to go and fix it at this time.
As soon as Kevin got to the door of the Royal poetry press, Louis waved to him with a smile.
"Kevin, you're here at last. I thought you drank too much last night and forgot about it." Louis said with a smile.
"Ha ha, Louis, don't worry, I'm not drunk. It's just oversleeping. Oh, do you have anything else to do with me? If not, I want to sign the rest first. " Kevin said with a smile.
"Of course. There are important customers coming this afternoon. It's about you, so we have to go there together. " Louis said, pretending to be mysterious.
"Oh! customer? What kind of customers? What does it have to do with me? " Kevin asked curiously.
"Well, you won the title of poet laureate, which not only surprised the British literary world, but also reported in some neighboring countries. So, Sweden is going to translate your collection of living beings into their country for publication. " Lewis said.
"What? Do you mean the collection of living beings may be published in Sweden? " Kevin asked in surprise.
"Yes, it's such an excellent collection of poems that they are very interested in. In the afternoon, the publishing house in Sweden will come to London to talk with us about this. You are the author of all living beings, so you have to be present. " Lewis said.
Kevin signed a sharing contract with the Royal poetry publishing house. According to the British law of this parallel world, any channel development of the publishing house must be approved by the author. So Lewis had to invite Kevin to join him.
It's a good thing that all living beings can be published in other countries, and Kevin certainly won't refuse. What's more, it may also increase your income. Why not? Sweden is the place where the Nobel Prize is awarded. Perhaps with the gradual opening of the market, the Nobel Prize for literature will belong to itself.
"Louis, I don't think I have a problem. After all, it's what every author hopes that the anthology can be published in other countries. " Kevin said.
"Well, don't sign so fast now. Let's go to President Gerald's office and have a cup of tea. In the afternoon, we'll meet the Swedish press. If we can, we will sign a contract at that time. " Louis explained.
"OK, I just drank a little too much last night. Let's drink more tea to clear my stomach."
As a result, Kevin went into President Gerald's office with Louis, and then began to drink tea slowly. Although the tea brewed by the British is no match for the Chinese on earth, it also has a unique taste. Kevin got used to it when he drank too much.
In the afternoon, Kevin followed Gerald and Louis to London International Airport to receive the staff of Swedish press. This time, five of them came from the same publishing house.
The name of this publishing house is Swedish translation publishing house. As soon as you listen to the name, you can know that it specializes in translating and publishing foreign works. Therefore, their translation of various language versions is relatively professional in Sweden.
The Royal poetry publishing house has arranged a place for us to discuss with each other for a long time, so after meeting and introducing each other, we came to the place.
"Hello, Mr. Kevin, I'm really glad to meet you in person. Your collection of sentient beings is absolutely wonderful. This is the most perfect collection of poems I've ever seen. I've lived half my life, and I've never seen a collection of poems so excellent. " Said a slightly older elder.
Because the other party is from Sweden, so after speaking, you need a young female translator to say it again. Of course, it can be seen from the words spoken by the other party that the other party can speak English. Just like most people, they usually don't communicate directly in English when they have translators.
"Thank you for your compliment, which makes me very happy. I think I just wrote what I should write, and whether it is good or bad, maybe God has the final say. Kevin said with a smile.
God has the final say. Mr. Kevin is indeed a poet of England. He speaks out of the ordinary. Perhaps, your work will have a very considerable market in Sweden. I'm looking forward to it. "
With the old man's words, the topic of foreign copyright began to open slowly. The Swedish translation press has clearly expressed their desire for the Translation copyright of Kevin's the collection of living beings, and they have also indicated that they will use the most professional team to translate the collection of living beings, and then publish it in Sweden.
Royal poetry press and Kevin have seen each other's sincerity, and now Kevin also needs foreign markets. Therefore, they agreed to publish the Swedish version of all living beings.
After agreeing to the other party's publishing requirements, the next step is to start talking about the contribution fee. The Swedish translation press has indicated that they want to buy out all the Swedish text copyright of the collection of sentient beings, that is to say, they will be responsible for all the Swedish market of the collection of sentient beings in the future.
Of course, this is also a way that many publishers choose when publishing works of other countries. After all, in this way, they can have more flexibility in the work market, and also play a greater role in the sales volume and market channels of this work in other countries. So Kevin and the Royal poetry press have no objection to that.
"Ladies and gentlemen, since you don't have too much objection to our request, maybe we should talk about the contribution fee of the Swedish version of the collection of living beings." Swedish translation press said at this time.
