The mailbox also said the second thing, the producer of "Star Wars: Reboot" will quote the poem "Don't go gentle into that good night" and pay $[-].

"Huh? I didn't expect the poet to receive a small amount of money for the film copyright."

Even if Chu Zhi, the director of this film, invited the soundtrack composer, he did not agree, but he has no reason to refuse the use of copyright.

If it is not a public copyright, movies are also a type of commercial product, and copyright fees need to be paid when citing them. A more famous case on Earth is that elements such as Yang Guo’s Little Dragon Girl and Eighteen Palms of the Dragon appeared in the movie "Kung Fu", and Zhou Xingchi paid Jin Yong. [-] royalties.

"The book will go on sale in two weeks, and the poetry anthology is only finalized now. It's been a lot of hard work." Chu Zhi thought about it, and wrote a thank you email to Akira Ono.

Huainan's full-time editor, Akira Ono is always on the computer, waiting for the author's reply.As the big name of Prodigal Son Publishing House, Huainan must have this kind of treatment.

"It's finally confirmed. Mr. Huainan attaches great importance to this collection of poems, so he revised it repeatedly." Akira Ono said.

Then I saw the thank you letter.

Akira Ono jumped up from his chair with an "eh" in his mouth, startling the colleagues next to him, and the big movement attracted the attention of the whole office.

"What's wrong, Ono-san?"

"What happened to Teacher Huainan?"

Facing the inquiry, Akira Ono said excitedly: "Teacher Huainan sent me a thank you letter."

Hearing this, several colleagues gathered around, and they all showed great envy, "That's a great poet", "I really envy the thank you letter from a great poet of this level", "It's so rare"...

The editor-in-chief came over and patted Ono, saying, "Don't disappoint Teacher Huainan's trust."

"Hi! I will definitely work harder." Ono Akira is full of enthusiasm. I believe that after a few years, Mr. Huainan will become famous, and he will also become a famous editor!

Chapter 559 Released by Kogito

A bookstore in New York.

The reason why I didn’t write the full name of the bookstore is because the store is located at No. 3 East, No. 390 Fordham Road in the Bronx... It’s hard to explain in words, let’s just talk about a small problem. The boss’s temper is really a bit weird.

""Mr. Cogito", I finally waited for this collection of poems. Who knows, I waited until all the domestic cacti died." Roberts originally accompanied a friend to verify one thing, but he never thought that there would be unexpected gains. will be very happy.

Makebees beside him also exposed his friend mercilessly, saying: "The garden at your home is a hell for plants, and any plant will be raised to death by you, even if it is a flytrap with strong vitality."

"Don't say such things, the truth will hurt feelings, for our fragile friendship, please." Roberts replied, ready to open the poetry collection.

Most of the books in the bookstore have one or two exhibition samples for readers and customers to look through.

These two people had a role in introducing the Village Voice Club before, but maybe the friends didn’t notice it, because it’s too tiring to remember the names of foreigners. Here we focus on the famous earth masterpiece "One Hundred Years of Solitude" and the parallel world bestseller " Travel Notes Series.

Roberts is a well-known writer in a beautiful country. Except for the Nobel Prize for Literature, he has won all other awards. He is currently studying Huainan, a Chinese poet, while Makepeace William is a Tony Award-winning playwright. He is currently conceiving and creating A drama about the slums.

"Don't forget why you came to the bookstore today." Makebees reminded.

"You didn't remind me, I almost forgot." Having said that, Roberts didn't stop, and still opened the poetry collection, he said: "Mr. William, please wait a moment, I have been waiting for this poetry collection for too long, please Forgive my eagerness, I want to see it right away."

Hearing this, Makepeace couldn't help but roll his eyes. It's not a novel. It can have plots that people can't put it down. How can a collection of poems be so attractive.So he came to his own conclusion that this was pure nonsense.

Roberts is a well-known "bullshit" in the circle of friends. I once heard a friend say that I really hope that my friend and his wife can get along smoothly, so that I can drink and chat with my friends during the day and have fun with my wife at night.Roberts then wrote this friend in the novel as an "other person", male during the day, and female when the sun goes down.

"I use my pen to assure that I am not lying. Huainan's imagination is simply fascinating. After reading the last book "The Tour", I even became very interested in the history of China." Roberts tasted it with relish. .

Is that exaggerated?Makepeace picked up another Mr. Kogito exhibit.

[I don't understand how to write a poem about the moon.He was fat and slovenly, he liked to pick the nose of the chimney, and his favorite thing to do was to crawl under the bed and smell shoes. ]

"This Chinese poet's prose poems are really interesting." Makepeace flipped through two pages at random, but his initial evaluation was only interesting, and you can't become a great poet just by being interesting.

Turning to the prose poem "As long as it is not an angel", Makepeace felt the poet's philosophy, which in a sense is consistent with his three views.

This agreement attracts Mekebees to continue watching.

So I read more than 20 pages in a row.

The two collections of poems, Interrogating Angels and Reports from Heaven, made mekebis, a shallow believer, get goosebumps all over his body. He doesn’t know if the imagination of Chinese poets is rich, but his thinking is so sharp that it seems to be polished. A small razor can scratch your face if you don't pay attention.

"Proletarians of Paradise come out of their factories / With clumsy violin wings under their arms..." Makepeace murmured silently.

Roberts, who was reading the collection of poems earlier, also changed his expression from happy to dignified. Compared with the previous collection of poems, his imagination seems to grow wings and fly into the sky. The thoughts of this "Mr. Cogito" are heavy and sharp.

"Come, only then will you be among those who died/Your ancestors are: Gilgamesh, Hector, Roland/Who guarded the ashes of the city and the boundless realm of the empire/Go, you Be loyal... With such a tragic writing style, did the author suffer some kind of disaster? Why did the thought change so much?"

Roberts watched it for half an hour, devoting himself to the thought of "Mr. Cogito".

Let me explain again Mr. Cogito, which comes from the transliteration of Descartes' famous saying Cogito Ergo Sum (Cogito Ergo Sum). Mr. Cogito is actually a translation that fits the original meaning better.

"It's a masterpiece that stands side by side with "The Tour", but the excellence of the two is not at the same level. The appreciation threshold for this work is very high, but the content is more in line with European aesthetics."

"I need to go back and take a good look." Roberts moved his arms and legs and stood still for half an hour, feeling a little stiff in his body.

There are not a few people who come to the bookstore to prostitute and read books, even in Europe and the United States. In addition, Roberts did not block the intersection, so the clerk did not care about Roberts.

"Sorry, I've been waiting for a long time. I can't stop seeing the wonderful works." Roberts realized that his friend was waiting for him.

How helpless Makebees is, it's like seeing a domestic cat fall into a cesspit, then crawl out by itself, and run wildly around the room.

"It's incredible to hear your apology." Makepeace should be angry for being left alone for so long.

"Let's go to the drama area, don't waste time." Roberts immediately changed the subject: "The cover and title are more important than the content, and now I will prove it to you."

The reason why writers and playwrights came here was because Roberts told Makebees that the new script should be renamed from "Frigga's Weaving Wheel" to "The Poor Who Gives Up a Billion", and then extended the topic to the title and the importance of the cover.

Makepeace believes that those who come to bookstores to buy dramas have a certain degree of literary accomplishment, and must pay more attention to the content.

The two walked side by side to the theater section of the bookstore, and who was right and who was wrong was about to be revealed—the best-selling collection was Shakespeare's plays, followed by "Chicago Midnight" with three female corpses on the cover. The tone was a bit dark, creating a suspenseful style.

The covers of other top-selling dramas are all well-designed.

And Makebeth can also be said to be the top figure in the pyramid of contemporary American playwrights, but his book sales are not high. The core reason is that he likes solid-color covers.

Roberts was right.

"No matter how much literature is cultivated, human beings like to watch exciting things are eternal." Roberts concluded.

Makebis, who had a wrong point of view, did not respond, and was a little depressed for a while.

Walking out of the bookstore, Roberts wondered if he wanted to maintain a fragile friendship?For example, two words of comfort.

But this matter is also very interesting. Whether to write a short story, for example, in the future world, the writer becomes an assistant, and the title, cover and gimmick really determine the publication sales, Roberts is planning in his mind.

"Will the Chinese poet's new work "Mr. Cogito" sell well?" Makebees asked, he didn't know the name Huainan very well.

"Huh?" The question interrupted Roberts' brainstorming. He looked at his friend Makepeace in doubt. Why did the topic suddenly jump here?

However, he still responded seriously to the question: "Huainan already has a great reputation in Europe, America and Asia, so many good people are willing to buy his books as decorations."

The corner of Makepeace's mouth couldn't help sneering ironically, it was aimed at "good people".

"I love kind people the most. Without them, the weak physical book industry will be even weaker, so I like them, just like my villa." He continued: "And the sharp thoughts of the new work itself are also extremely sharp. This kind of content is very suitable for the taste of book reviewers. Look at it, Huainan's global reputation will be further improved because of this book."

"Really?" Makepeace was curious about the improved evaluation.

The books created by Roberts are top-notch in terms of literature and business, which is enough to prove that he has a good grasp of what readers like to read.

He was right when he said Mr. Cogito would be more popular in Europe than The Tour.

Once Mr. Cogito was published, it exploded!

5 Chapter [-] Sweeping Europe and America

Mr. Cogito sold more than 70 copies in the United Kingdom and the United States in three or four days.Especially after including Eastern Europe, that is, after Cross, Ermao and Sanmao, the sales in the first week exceeded one million copies.

Compared with bestsellers with millions of copies, this data is really nothing.But "Mr. Cogito" is a collection of poetry. Looking at the sales data of Amazon.com, the No. 1 best-selling poetry collection in the UK last year only sold 1.8 copies.

Mr. Cogito is the second best poetry anthology in the past five years, and the best in the European and American literary circles. It can be said that it is undoubtedly a phenomenal work.

"New York Review of Books": [We are still not familiar with his personality, because he has too many poetry collections with the most distinctive characteristics, which are more exquisite than Shakespeare's sonnets, and more imaginative than Odette's romance; Variety, no poet can compare with him, and no poet can surpass him.Those he wrote in 2019 and 2025 are, perhaps, boldly said, the poet's most iconic. ]

"Is it really that good?" Jack looked at the recommendations in the publications and fell into hesitation. He is a reader who buys books like a mountain and reads them like a scramble. Friends, Amway and himself see any books on the Internet, and they all want to buy them back and read them when they have time. .

This "time" may be a few years later, or it may never be.

Exquisite beyond Shakespeare, imaginative beyond Odette, the former's sonnets can be innovative, and the latter is more representative of romantic poets. Is it too exaggerated for such a gorgeous adjective to add value to an oriental poet?

Clever Jack searched for the latest tweets, not many but with rave reviews.

“#评价科吉艺先生# I haven’t seen such an excellent poem for a long time, I recommend it.”

"Want to know the best level of the current international poets? Then read "Mr. Cogito", and you will find out. #评价科吉艺先生#"

"Cogito, therefore I am, which (Mr. Cogito) perfectly fulfills the words of Descartes."

……

Must buy!Jack made up his mind, and what made him decide to spend money was the words of the best level of international poets.

Going out excitedly, I went to a nearby bookstore to buy a book, with a recommendation from the editor-in-chief of the New York Times on the back of the book: He is still the most surprising poet in the world since World War II.And this collection of poems is also his most surprising work.

Full of expectations, after all, Jack still has a certain understanding of Huainan, and he has also used "Flying Birds" to tweet.

Read up——

Jack's brows changed from full of anticipation to solidification, gradually frowning, leaving only doubts behind.

Where is the good?

As far as the article "Mr. Cogito and Longevity" is concerned, [Mr. Cogito / is proud of himself / he has surpassed the / life limit of many animals / when the hardworking bee / has rested forever / is still Cogito who is breastfeeding / Feeling surprisingly good about myself...]

Later, he compared it with rats, swallows, sheep, elephants and other animals. After watching it, Jack only remembered the sentence "What is there to be jealous of the gods?" It was very arrogant.

Is there any commentary, what exactly is he talking about? !Jack searched for interpretations on the Internet. Unfortunately, the poetry collection has just been released and there is no explanation.

Jack read it carefully several times, and seemed to understand it, but he didn't seem to understand it.

"Is this saying that humans live longer than animals, and we should protect animals?" Jack said to himself.

But war is mentioned again, as well as ambitious killings. The thought that the poem wants to express should be more profound.

Seeing one fifth, Jack found it hard to swallow, and then the editor-in-chief of the New York Times was a recommendation...

Are we reading a book?After thinking about it, Jack put the collection of poems on the shelf to eat ashes with other books.

"What the hell, this is the best level of international poets? Then the level of poetry is just average now." Jack said.

After reading the book, I must let others know, Jack sent a tweet...

Uncle Jack: [#Evaluate Mr. Cogito#

What is there to be jealous of?

——It’s the air in the sky

- relatively lax management

- an insatiable desire

— still a big yawn

After reading it, I was moved and refreshed. I love this collection of poems so much. It is the most wonderful work I have read in the first half of the year. ]

Because I really didn't have any thoughts, I copied the last paragraph of the poetry collection, which felt quite imposing, especially at the end with a big yawn, which felt like contempt for the gods, and he liked it.

Hmmm... don't care if the original author was contemptuous or not, Jake thinks so anyway.

There are many Europeans like Jack, but in the wave of herd mentality, only a few people give bad reviews.

An anthology of poetry is different from a novel, because no matter how many people praise a novel, they can say that they don’t like the plot, but it is difficult to say clearly when it comes to literariness in an anthology of poetry.

Especially the mainstream media is all praise.

"The Times Literary Supplement": [The average writing period of a poet is 26 years. If Huainan writes for 20 years, what kind of achievements he can achieve is beyond our expectation.The world knows that he published seven collections of poems in six years, "Flying Birds", "I'm a Wayward Child", "After Eternal Silence", "The Great Riddle", "Don't Go Gentlely into That Good Night", "Traveling" and "Mr. Cogito" Today, his contribution to the poetry world has greatly surpassed 21% nine poets in the 90.00st century. ]

Look, the Literary Supplement of The Times is the most authoritative literary evaluation media in the UK. 70.00% of the highly acclaimed works of this publication will be recognized by the Booker Prize.

The Booker Prize is second only to the Nobel Prize in Literature. It can be said to be the highest award for English novels, but it is only awarded to novels.

But Liam, chairman of the National Book Foundation of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, said in an interview with reporters on Wednesday, "Mr. Cogito is the thickest and sharpest collection of poetry I have seen in ten years. Mr. Huainan's mastery of English is amazing. I think "Mr. Cogito" has a very high chance of winning the prize."

The British National Book Foundation awards are divided into four categories: fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and young people's literature. Although it is not as authoritative as the Booker Prize, it is rare for the chairman to say this directly before the list is announced. A note can be Booker Prize It is affiliated with the foundation.

Taking advantage of the trend, the British know how to sell books. The complete works of Huainan (seven books including new books) are sold at a price of 200 pounds, and the sales volume is not bad.

Don't think it's expensive, it's still a discounted price.

The price of a single new book in the UK is more than 20 pounds. Books should be famous among foreign students for their expensive books.

If the cultural exchange is a three-year generation gap, then the literary environment should be a five-year generation gap. "Mr. Cogito" can be so famous in Europe and the United States. In addition to its excellent quality, it also has the solid popularity and reputation established by the first six anthologies. In the end, it caused a big explosion.

This outbreak is not limited to the father and son countries of the United States and Britain, but also other surrounding countries.
