Chapter 614 Helping with Publication, Mr. Zhang's Shock: It Turns Out I Wasn't Alone!
In a coffee shop in Los Angeles, Ono Takeshi met Mr. Zhang again.

She seemed to be in better spirits today, but a faint trace of melancholy still lingered in her eyes.

"Congratulations, Mr. Guiye!"

Mr. Zhang had already read the report and knew that the man in front of him had just achieved an unprecedented brilliant success at the Oscars, and he sincerely congratulated him.

"Thank you."

Oni Takeshi's lips curled into a smile, which looked somewhat intimidating.

However, Mr. Zhang was not frightened.

After their initial conversation, she already knew that the man in front of her had a fierce appearance but a kind heart, unlike those despicable and shameless Japanese people who dared not even acknowledge their history.

Besides, no matter how terrifying Oni no Takeshi is, can he be as terrifying as the horrific scenes of the Nanjing Massacre?
Therefore, Mr. Zhang was willing to communicate with Oni no Takeshi, which is why she gladly accepted his invitation by phone.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Ono Takeshi directly stated the purpose of his invitation.

"What?! You're going to help me publish it?!"

Mr. Zhang's face instantly showed a surprised expression. He never expected that Ono Takeshi's invitation to meet him was to help publish his book.

Surprised, he couldn't help but give Oni Takeshi a strange look from head to toe.

I don't understand why a Japanese person would be so enthusiastic about helping me publish a book that exposes the crimes of the Japanese army.

Then, a sense of excitement welled up inside me.

She was struggling with the publication process after her first draft failed to gain the editor's approval. Unexpectedly, Ono Takeshi was willing to lend a helping hand.

She knew Oni Takeshi's identity well, and as long as he was willing to help, publishing the book would no longer be difficult.

"really?"

She couldn't help but confirm.

Ono Takeshi smiled and nodded in affirmation.

Mr. Zhang's eyes lit up instantly, and he trembled slightly with excitement.

This is undoubtedly fantastic news for her, who is currently facing difficulties!
A glimmer of hope appears after a period of despair!

With the help of Ono Takeshi, that traitor to Japan... cough cough, and people of Sino-Japanese friendship, my predicament will be easily resolved!

Seeing Mr. Zhang's excitement, Ono Takeshi smiled slightly.

He didn't bring up the movie right away, but instead planned to help the other party publish the book "The Nanjing Massacre: The Forgotten Holocaust".

In my previous life, the path to publishing this book was not smooth.

From the painstaking and laborious collection of various complex materials in the early stages, to the initial draft being questioned and rejected after completion, and then to the difficulties encountered in the later stages of publication...

The various troubles encountered during this period are enough to deter ordinary people.

While Ono Takeshi couldn't help with the previous research, he could help the other party with the publication.

With his current strength and connections, contacting a publishing house would be a piece of cake, without any difficulty.

Putting everything else aside, he also holds the copyright to "Harry Potter," so the Royal Publishing House would definitely be eager to agree.

However, the main market this time is America, so it's best to choose a publisher in North America. For Takeshi Ono, contacting a reputable local publisher would be a piece of cake.

Compared to Mr. Zhang, who was working alone, the two were simply not on the same level in terms of resources.

This is also why Ono Takeshi wanted to help.

With his intervention, the process can be accelerated, and the influence can be expanded, bringing a greater sensation and impact than in the previous life!
Ono Takeshi felt he had an inescapable responsibility.

After confirming that Ono Takeshi was not joking, Mr. Zhang was immediately filled with excitement. His mood, which had been somewhat depressed due to the setback, instantly lifted.

But then a sense of uncertainty crept in, and hesitantly reminded her, "But... my first draft might have problems, and it might not bring you much benefit, Mr. Onino..."

Oni Takeshi waved his hand, his expression serious as he stared intently into her eyes:
“What I value is not the profit, but the fact that I think this book is very meaningful. History should be faced squarely, not covered up.” He paused.

"If you don't mind, Miss Zhang, could you please let me take a look at your masterpiece?"

Mr. Zhang was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly took out the first draft he was carrying and handed it to Ono Takeshi.

Oni no Takeshi pretended to flip through it for a while.

He then raised his head and praised in a resolute tone:
"A great book! It's detailed, objective, and highly readable! I think it has no problems whatsoever; it's a masterpiece that can awaken the world and is absolutely worthy of publication!"

Mr. Zhang looked excited upon hearing this.

Oni Takeshi's support was like a shot of adrenaline, which cheered her up and the gloom in her eyes immediately dissipated.

My initial self-doubt instantly transformed into determination.

His gaze toward Oni Takeshi was filled with gratitude.

The two then held detailed discussions regarding the publication.

The first draft of the book "The Nanjing Massacre: The Forgotten Holocaust" is largely complete and only requires further revisions and improvements, which will not take too much time.

With everything confirmed to be in order, Ono Takeshi was relieved. All he needed to do next was contact a reliable and reputable publishing house.

Ono Takeshi plans to invest a sum of money to directly print and distribute the book on a large scale.

The success of this book in the previous life has already proven its worth. What Ono Takeshi needs to do is add fuel to the fire and make it burn even brighter!
These things were not difficult for him.

The two spent several hours negotiating the publishing details, and Mr. Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.

Then I wanted to express my gratitude.

She thought the other party had only asked to meet her for this matter, but what Oni Takeshi said next surprised her once again.

After the publication was completed, Takeshi Ono took the opportunity to reveal his plans to film "The Diary of John Rabe".

They also expressed their hope that Mr. Zhang could serve as a consultant for the film and help them contact Rabe's descendants to obtain the film adaptation rights.

After hearing what Oni Takeshi said, Mr. Zhang was shocked once again!

He stared wide-eyed at Oni Takeshi with an incredulous look.

I was a little confused for a moment, unable to understand Oni Takeshi's thought process.

Not only did the other party support my publication of a book about the Nanjing Massacre, but they also planned to personally make a movie about it!

A native Japanese actually took the initiative to expose the crimes of his own country!
What kind of mental state is this... cough, what kind of mental state?!

It can only be described as 'great'!

Mr. Zhang was deeply moved by the selflessness and magnanimity of the man before him.

Mr. Onino is really...

For a moment, she couldn't find the right adjective to express her feelings.

But without a doubt, Ono Takeshi's actions filled her with emotion and admiration!
Tears almost welled up in my eyes.

She has always walked this lonely road alone. Although she has never regretted it, there is still uncertainty in her heart.

She wasn't sure if she really had the ability to tell the world about that national tragedy that the Chinese people would never forget.

She was like a lonely fighter, giving it her all but unable to move forward.

But Ono Takeshi's appearance was like a ray of light, illuminating her path forward!

Mr. Zhang suddenly felt that he was no longer alone, and realized that he was not fighting alone!

In an instant, her gloom vanished, and she was filled with confidence for the future!
