644. Two programs
But after careful consideration, Yang Yi decided to take out "Twilight" in advance.
This is not just because he is already in a very difficult situation in his conscience. He can harm foreigners, but he has no way to deal with his compatriots.
But two years before his rebirth, when he represented his website Tianya Haijiao Community to attend an online writer seminar, he received intelligence consultation from some domestic specialized investigation agencies - Chinese writers will never be as profitable as foreign writers in the next thirty years.
The boy still vaguely remembers that at that seminar, the results of the Chinese writers’ list of rich Chinese writers were announced that children’s literature writer Yang Hongying topped the list with a royalty of 25 million yuan. At the same time, it was also announced that there was a “Most Profitable Foreign Writers’ List of Rich Foreign Writers in China”. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series of books, ranked first with a 95 million yuan.
Rowling's income that time was released was the total income in China in the past 10 years from 2000 to the present. On average, it was only 9.5 million yuan per year. It is inferred that foreign writers did not defeat Chinese writers in China. But the most critical issue is that China is only one of the markets of foreign writers such as Rowling. Rowling's works have been released in more than 200 countries and regions, with a total sales of more than 300 million copies. In the previous life, in the list of 20 female rich people in the world released by Forbes in 2008, Rowling was on the list with a net worth of 1 billion US dollars, which is the only writer in the world to be listed on the rich list in history.
Compared with the two lists, what is embarrassing is not that Rowling's total income far exceeds that of Chinese best-selling writers, but that Chinese writers' income can only rely on domestic readers. In other words, in the context of globalization of writing, Chinese best-selling writers are collectively blocked by the country.
This is what Yang Yi decided to choose some of the most well-known and market-friendly masterpieces from the best-selling foreign works he has seen. The most important reason why the name Yangyi Culture enters the international reader market.
The reasons why Chinese writers cannot make as much money as foreign writers are naturally multifaceted. First, the rampant piracy of Chinese versions has caused great harm to writers. Second, the development of works by Chinese writers is not enough. Rowling's novels have brought US$3.5 billion in revenue after adapting them into movies. However, Chinese writers' best-selling novels can be sold for up to several million yuan in adaptation fees, and they are still unable to make movies. Third, Chinese writers' works lack an international perspective. Compared with the many translated books that have achieved great sales in the domestic market, Chinese books (especially literature) are still sticking to traditional expressions and cannot arouse emotional resonance among foreign readers. Fourth, most Chinese writers still produce workshops and lack teams to help marketing and promote, and cannot maximize the value of an excellent book.
When Yang Yiyu expressed these four views at the venue of the seminar, he was recognized by the vast majority of the writers attending the meeting, but there was another question in front of these people. Even if they knew the problem, they did not have enough ability to change the status quo. Someone asked in the venue what needed to be done in the future to allow the works of Chinese writers to enter the world book market. No one continued to speak, but they all smiled bitterly, so that in the end, some people laughed at themselves as authentic scholars who had failed to rebel for ten years - the international book market. This was not something that Chinese writers can do today.
However, when Yang Yi was reborn, the problem that troubled him in his previous life suddenly became no longer a problem. The choice of subject matter, the grasp of readers' tastes, the knowledge of market trends, and the advancement in marketing methods all gave Yang Yi enough to change this current situation that countless people in his previous life could not change.
The previous "Duji" and "Shennong Code" which was renamed to cater to European and American readers were Yang Yi's small attempt, but this time, he had already decided to make a big move.
The next two months were two dark months. Compared to the busyness of these sixty days, the hardships when starting a business were nothing at all. However, this kind of hard work is worth it, because after working at 16 to 18 every day, the other two writers did not know how long they had been conceived or how long they had been writing, but they were rushed out by him within a month. Of course, he had already made a decision in his mind. When the time was repeated on the track he had experienced, he wanted to make up for the previous "Ming Dynasty" and "Tibet Code" and "Ghost Blows Out the Light" and to compensate the writer.
But in "Twilight", Yang Yi naturally could only express his regret. Who made the other party not Chinese?
Looking at himself in the mirror, he was already unhealthy, but the boy showed the happiest smile. His body was indeed a little down, but his spirit reached a peak. After finally sorting out the manuscript, he closed the computer with satisfaction and closed the drawer, ready to go downstairs to inform Rogo of his achievements.
Of course, there is also a press conference that must be held.
Since it is to cater to foreign readers, we naturally need to build momentum in advance. As long as the foreign market sells well, this hot-selling trend may be reduced and brought back to China.
After opening the door, I happened to meet Su Wan. The girl went to the studio next door and gave art guidance to "her team". After seeing the boy walking out of the office, there was no trace of joy on his face, but instead a deep worry and sadness appeared.
Yang Yi knew the reason, and he didn't want the other party to worry about him, so he told the girl directly: "The mission has been completed, and he won't work so hard in the future."
This sentence is more useful than comfort and enlightenment. After hearing the boy say this, Su Wan really smiled from the bottom of his heart: "Then are you going back this weekend? The last two times I went back, my aunt came to my house to ask me what's going on."
After a while, the girl lowered her voice again: "My mother asked you too."
Looking at the clear girl in front of him, the expression of a child who had almost never been revealed in front of others. Yang Yi couldn't help but itchy, but thinking about it, he had fought for two days and one night for almost 36 hours. The smell on his body might not be welcome, so he waved his hand: "I know. I will definitely go this weekend. I will tell Brother Luo first, let him arrange a reporter's interview, and then wash and we'll go to dinner."
...
Nearly two months have passed, and a lot of things have happened during this period.
For example, the Propaganda Department of the Momen Municipal Party Committee and the Momen Municipal Culture and Radio and Television Bureau have officially approved the application of Yangyi Culture to hold a CJ Animation Exhibition, indicating that it strongly supports this activity of Yangyi Culture.
On the other side of the Oriental Channel, the national primary election for Super Girls has ended, and the rematch held in the Magic City has just been completed, and there is still one national final left. As the initial planner of this program, Yang Yi also received an invitation from Oriental Channel, hoping that he can attend the first game of the National Finals.
Regarding the question of inviting him to participate in Super Girl, Me Luohua also said bluntly: "It is because of your Yangyi Culture, which has been broadcasted very popular recently, so I want to invite you here. Our Oriental TV and your Yangyi Culture are all about creating momentum for each other and attracting the curiosity of the audience. This is also a more tempting proposal for you, right? Then don't think too much. Just come here."
Success continues to succeed, but those who are walking on the thorny road are still struggling hard.
Although the development of search engines and adwords was smooth before, this did not continue to the ad color n color, but was because a technical difficulty was ahead. So much so that the entire team led by Ye Chuan was stuck at the current progress for almost a week. Although Yang Yi did not say much after learning about the situation, he gave great encouragement with confidence, it was this kind of generosity that made the development team even harder to survive.
After Yang Yi left, Ye Chuan also stood up and mobilized the entire team, such as "Mr. Yang has the funding problem of our project and the entire Yangyi Network. How thin have you been in the past month? You just saw it. I won't say much about the others. Do you have any opinions when working overtime today?"
The boy didn't know that his encouragement and leading by example inspired Yangyi Network employees, but whether he knew or not, he had other things to deal with now.
Rogo did contact the reporter.
But this "reporter" is a bit big.
It was not a press conference held at Yangyi Culture Headquarters or the place in the Magic City, but Lu Yuyouyou's program team received a contact intention from Rogo from somewhere, so they took the initiative to find it, hoping to make Yangyi's program together.
"Xiaoyi, this is a great opportunity! Whether our Yangyi culture can be famous nationwide depends on this time." After receiving the program invitation from Lu Yuyouyou's program team, Rogo couldn't stop and was almost excited all day long.
He had no choice but to be excited.
Before in Yuezhou, although I and the young man in front of me promoted the establishment of the country's No. 1 culture Moore, who is the ordinary people concerned about this? I just forget it when I read the news.
Later, although there were various best-selling books and comics from Yangyi Culture, and even sold to the island country, even if the industry insiders paid attention to it, they were still unknown to ordinary readers.
Then Yang Yi Culture's first cartoon was released, donating money to repair and maintain Xizhi Ancient Town. Yang Yi won the British Booker Award... A series of big moves, but like the previous few efforts, they are all well-known in the industry, but millions of ordinary families don't know it, and even if they know it, not many people care about it.
But this time is different. At this time in 1999, Lu Yu had an appointment, but he could be regarded as the number one interview program in China... To be precise, it was the first interview program for individuals in China. Speaking of which, the success of this program is similar to a best-selling book that Yang Yi had previously operated. They are all about celebrities - at least the participants revealed themselves, and they successfully made a TV program that ordinary people like.
Chapter completed!
