I was lying on the bed toss and turns and I couldn't sleep. I was a little uncomfortable when I came to a brand new place.

Chen Yao simply got up and walked out. It happened that Lin Yuhan couldn't sleep either. She walked out in her pajamas yawning.

She looked out the night view outside the window: "Why not have fun in Ginza nearby?"

Chen Yao nodded, then went back to the room and changed into a set of down and went out. Lin Yuhan also changed into a set of white down windbreaker, and the two walked out of the hotel.

It was 9 o'clock in the evening, and the most lively time of the day in Ginza, I received neon lights on the shops on both sides, and there were a wide variety of shops.

If you want to buy something, even Lin Yuhan, a shopping crazier, doesn’t know what to buy?

If it were more than ten or twenty years ago, when I was traveling to Japan, Chinese people would like to buy a TV or rice cooker. If you buy it, you can really show off.

As China's national strength becomes stronger, there are really no products to be used to show off in Japan. Of course, there are still small and exquisite specialty products.

He couldn't get any interest when shopping. Lin Yuhan saw a bookstore nearby, so he pulled Chen Yao toward the bookstore.

Looking around, the bookshelf was filled with books.

In addition to locals, there are many tourists shopping here. After all, some books cannot be bought in China, and there are also a large number of CD adult CDs, which the man knows.

Standing in front of the bookshelf, Chen Yao glanced and placed a book "Survival of Mars" in a conspicuous position. On the other side, "My Wandering Earth 3" was also placed in a conspicuous position for key recommendations.

A woman wearing a Japanese kimono came over. She was a salesperson in a bookstore and picked up "Survival of Mars" to introduce the book to Chen Yao.

"Can you understand Japanese?" Chen Yao asked Lin Yuhan beside him.

Lin Yuhan patted her chest: "Of course it will."

"Really?"

"Well, I can understand a few Japanese words."

“What words?”

"You understand, too."

“…”

Fortunately, Chen Yao brought translation headphones. Although this thing is not very intelligent, ordinary communication is barely acceptable.

Then he asked the salesperson: "How is the sales of "Survival of Mars" and "Wandering 3"?"

There are many foreign tourists here. Although the salesperson cannot speak Chinese, he can understand it.

She smiled and said, "The Wandering Earth 3 and Survival of Mars are both very good at our store, ranking 10th and 9th."

Although it has not entered the top five, it is already good to be able to enter the top 10 in Japanese bookstores.

In Japan, science fiction is not the hottest topic. There are only three of them that can enter the top ten of the list, which is already the largest number in recent months.

Chen Yao occupied two books alone.

The first one ranks sixth on the list, from the work "Building Planet" by American best-selling writer Rojas.

Chen Yao had some impression. If you remember correctly, "Building Planet" was also nominated for the Hugo Award, and Rojas was the strongest opponent in the Hugo Award.

The female salesman looked at him standing there in a daze and immediately asked: "Sir, do you need to buy these two books?"

Chen Yao nodded, bought the two books and took them away.

After walking around outside, Lin Yuhan bought some fruit snacks and lamented that the watermelon in Japan is so expensive, at 105 yuan per person.

I returned to the hotel at about 11 o'clock.

Chen Yao lay on the bed and opened the book. This was the English version of "My Wandering Earth 3", and the feeling looked a bit different.

It took Jinchao Publishing House three months to translate it successfully. It was time-consuming and tedious to translate books.

Chen Yao thought, is it time for the company to launch translation software? It will be easier to use a powerful artificial intelligence engine to do automatic translation.

You can also create a powerful translation headset to change the way the world communicates.

As I thought about it, my eyelids began to be unable to open and I fell on the bed and closed my eyes.

I never dreamed of the morning all night, so I got up and washed up and went to the third floor to have breakfast. Then, I went to the fourth floor with Luo Kun to participate in a novel copyright trade fair.

The Science Fiction Copyright Fair is also held by the World Science Fiction Association. Science fiction writers from all over the world have the opportunity to meet with film and television companies and negotiate copyright sales.

Of course, usually the initiative is not with the writer's side. Only when the film and television company comes up can the transaction be successful.

Although the Hugo Awards ceremony only started tonight, film and television companies have begun to contact writers and bought the copyright.

Novels that can be included in the nomination list all have great IP value.

After security check, Chen Yao and editor Luo Kun walked into the hall. At the same time, a young man with red hair entered the venue.

He was even more eye-catching than Chen Yao. As soon as he entered the venue, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall, and everyone greeted him.

From their name, Chen Yao could tell that this young man with red hair is Rojas, the writer of "Building Planet".

Luo Kun said: "He was the winner of the Best Long-Two of the Hugo Awards in the last Hugo Awards. His fame is far above you in the science fiction world. There is a great possibility that this Hugo Award is."

Although the editor is on Chen Yao's side, he has to admit that the opponent's strength is quite terrifying.

No matter how popular he is in China or how many halo he has, he is indeed not as good as Rojas overseas. This is a fact.

The difference in fame between them is also reflected in the sales of the bookstore. Rojas's book sales are 1.5 times that of his, and the ranking is ahead of him.

If calculated based on the sales volume of the book, then Chen Yao will definitely lose the Hugo Award.

Fortunately, the nomination and selection of the Hugo Award was decided by members of the World Science Fiction Association, and sales data are just one of the indicators.

The copyright of "Survival of Mars" has long been taken by foreign film and television companies, so Luo Kun took Chen Yao into a small room.

A white man sat upright in front of the table, and he was smiling and looking over: "Chen, welcome your arrival."

Luo Kun introduced: "This is the vice president of Black Forest Film and Television Company, named Yilov."

Chen Yao simply greeted him, sat down opposite him without any fright, and was not weak in his identity.

He ordered the staff around him to have a cup of coffee on the ground, and soon the blonde girl placed a cup of Blue Mountain in front of Chen Yao.

Black Forest Film and Television is also from Hollywood in the United States, and has filmed several top masterpieces that have been sold worldwide.

Although it is not as good as Warner Bros. and Disney in the industry, its strength is also quite strong.

Ilof shook his coffee cup gently and said, "I am very optimistic about the film and television adaptation of "Survival of Mars" and intends to buy it."

As long as the price is right, it is also a good choice to sell it. Anyway, Chen Yao has countless high-quality resources in his mind, and this one is not bad.

After taking a sip of coffee, Chen Yao said, "Please offer a price, how much are you willing to pay?"
