Chinese literature has always been a minority in the West. Due to the difficulty of translation and the lack of channels and platforms, the dissemination rate and acceptance of Chinese books overseas have been relatively low.


    According to incomplete statistics, from the 1920s and 1930s to the present, more than one million modern western works have been translated by the Chinese government. However, according to statistics, there are only tens of thousands of modern and contemporary literary works translated by the West.


    In the past decade or so, in the big bookstores of Europe and the United States, it is not without the works of Chinese writers, but most of them are ancient and modern works. When asked what books they had read about the Chinese dynasty, many European and American people said they had heard of the four famous works, the art of war and the Tao Te Ching, but they did not know much about others.


    However, "dream of Red Mansions" is definitely the most popular in foreign countries, and there are special articles in the more important encyclopedias all over the world. The Encyclopedia of America even praised a dream of Red Mansions as a monument in the world literary world.


    With the deepening of the study of the romance of the Three Kingdoms, there has been a sustained Three Kingdoms fever abroad. According to Arthur''s understanding, some European boys have a complete set of English "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and read it well!


    But Arthur, in his study, found a complete set of four famous works, and even strange tales from a lonely studio, Sun Tzu''s art of war, and Tao Te Ching, which made him feel very surprised and kind at that time.


    With the gradual rise of China''s economy, in fact, European and American people are eager to understand China from a deeper level. Modern and contemporary Chinese literature has also begun to attract attention. Many foreign scholars who understand Chinese introduce copyright and translate it according to their own interests. However, from the perspective of the sales of works, the readers of contemporary Chinese writers abroad are mainly Chinese culture researchers and college students.


    In this regard, Bolin publishing house has the most say, because Bolin publishing house has published Xinhua Dictionary, and has been selling it!


    To tell you the truth, Arthur was very pleased and pleased that hergogh could have such a keen eye to select the novel Pan Long.


    This shows that the other party has really studied carefully, considered the prospect of wuxia world website, and regarded it as a career in thinking and heart.


    "Translation is just" really, translation is a big problem, especially these novels are very long, which adds a huge obstacle to the translation work, and website promotion is also a problem, cultural barriers are not so easy to break through. "


    Tom white, who had been listening to and looking at the information submitted by hergogh and Edward ye, frowned slightly and said with concern.


    To tell you the truth, when he saw that the data bank was screened out, as this will definitely allow more people to participate, I believe that as long as there is interest, there will not be a lack of people who join the translation army. We just need to send someone to review the translated manuscript, and we will take 30% of the reward as the maintenance cost of the platform.


    In addition, there are copyright issues after translation, publishing problems of translation, etc. we need to find a lawyer to work out an electronic contract. When these translators apply for an account, they are asked to sign it to avoid copyright disputes in the future.


    Only the more mature market and stable and good operation rules provide translators with income guarantee, so that they can produce content safely and stably. Our website will ultimately benefit.


    I''m not sure whether it''s a golden age for the spread of Chinese language on the Internet in Europe and the United States, but it may be the beginning of a strong interest in the Chinese Internet in Europe and the United States.


    I hope Wuxia world will serve as a bridge to bring Eastern and other cultures, legends and stories to the western world. ".


    As soon as Arthur said this, all the people present looked at the young boss with admiration, while Edward leaf and Hugo looked at each other, and felt more cordial to their British aristocratic boss.


    Only when you are in a foreign country can you understand the prejudices and arrogance of the west towards the East. In addition, the deliberate distortion and demonizing reports of the western media make it more difficult to remove the misunderstanding and prejudice. Therefore, working under a boss who respects the culture of his home country is definitely a good thing worth opening a bottle of wine.


    "I''m afraid it''s difficult for us to learn from the starting point of the Chinese dynasty. Objectively speaking, under the logic of charging by words, the content of online articles is relatively large, and there is a big quality gap compared with the novels of the same type in the European and American markets. To be honest, it is very difficult for readers to be willing to pay for it."


    Edward ye, who has been studying and learning the starting point mode in China, did not hesitate to express his own opinions. Of course, Edward did not mean that the level of Chinese online writing was low. He just did not have any advantages compared with the level of physical books in European and American countries. Moreover, if you charge by the number of words, readers will not easily buy millions of words.


    Everyone nodded, and Arthur agreed with Edward''s point of view. He said with a smile: "free first, and then establish a mature" translation donation sharing "system. When the time is ripe, we will boldly explore the construction of diversified business models, such as VIP value-added services, pre reading billing system and so on, relying on our own strong market competitiveness formed by the authorized reserves of legitimate works.


    Step by step, don''t worry. First, we should establish a fixed readership group. The minority is not afraid. As long as the base number of readers is large, the website can develop. The number of hits goes up, and advertising revenue will become our main source of income. "To here, has basically determined the website operation structure and mode, so that Edward with the team to establish the website is much easier.


    "Tom, you can also recruit foreign translators. It''s better to be Chinese students who are really integrated into the mainland or bilingual proficient Chinese who are settled in the mainland. Bilingual proficiency, knowledge reserves enough, translation will be easier.


    It''s just that I can learn Chinese with them. I want to try the most difficult language in the world. Is it really that difficult? " Said Arthur, looking at Tom white.


    "No problem, boss. In fact, if you want to learn a language, the best way is to find a girlfriend in the country and have a love affair. Then, I''ll find a beautiful woman to be a teacher for you, ha ha..."


    Tom''s words made everyone in the office laugh knowingly, and Arthur shook his head and laughed.
