Chapter 203: Bread and Dreams
Hall 1100 is far from the limit of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
After several days of eruption, the number of theaters rose to 2,000.
The total box office exceeded $150 million.
This achievement made Hollywood's jaw drop.
Before "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", there was no foreign language film that could have a box office of more than 100 million in North America.
They are accustomed to letting audiences in other countries learn to watch movies while reading subtitles carefully.
Today, however, the situation is reversed.
"Crouching Tiger Changlong" was released in the United States with the original Chinese sound, so these crooked nuts also tried the pain of dual-mindedness.
While it was painful, I couldn't help but want to watch it a few more times to make myself more aware of the meaning of each shot in the movie.
"Crouching Tiger" conquered not only Hollywood audiences.
And the media that likes to see the wind and steer the rudder.
More than half a month ago, due to the unsatisfactory performance of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", it was in the entertainment media of the United States.
Wan Xiaofeng and his own movies are not less cynical.
But now, these media seem to have changed people.
caught Wan Xiaofeng and "Crouching Tiger Changlong" and praised non-stop.
Say that he is the light of Chinese cinema, a magical oriental director, and an outstanding film artist!
And Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is known as the most popular foreign language film among North American audiences in history.
The global information age is just one night away.
The Chinese wind over there in the United States has blown back to the Chinese entertainment circle.
And the reaction of Huaxia came more violently than that of the United States.
If it weren't for the fact that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" had been released dismally, it was estimated that it would have risen a lot at the box office.
Whether the movie is good or not is no longer a matter of discussion.
The name Wan Xiaofeng once again made a lot of noise on the Internet.
Those fans who once stood up for him when "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" hit the streets, so that the fans who were sprayed into doubting their lives finally stood up!
was already lying flat and mocking, but I didn't expect that there would be a day of reversal in the end.
The serfs turned over and sang!
So they began to reprint the news about "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in Hollywood on the Internet.
There is also the translation of audience reviews on various rice movie portals.
When Huaxia saw all kinds of ignorant and ignorant sand sculpture comments from the Chinese audience, a sense of pride arose.
Then his admiration for Wan Xiaofeng rose a few heights!
"Your uncle is still your uncle!
"This time, the position of the first director of Huaxia is indisputable, right?"
"What about those who say that Chinese movies are not worthy of Hollywood?
"Upstairs is embarrassing people! His Hollywood dad has slapped him, I guess he has no face to see people now!"
"The first Chinese director to break 100 million in a single film in Hollywood, to be honest, even I, a sunspot, am a little embarrassed to be black!"
……
Just when there was a ruckus on the Internet, Wan Xiaofeng looked at Zeng Ziyu who was a little sad in his office.
"Miss Zeng......"
"Call me Ziyu!"
"Uh...... Okay, Ziyu.
You're here to urge the draft?"
Wan Xiaofeng was very puzzled, he had already handed in a manuscript of 800,000 words to her before.
And now the serialization progress of "What is the Sky" should be about 100,000, and it has not even been put on the shelves, why do you come to urge the manuscript again?
However, this is Wan Xiaofeng's mistake.
Zeng Ziyu shook his head and handed him the document in his hand.
"This is a share transfer contract, and you will be the owner of Zhuyun after signing it!"
Wan Xiaofeng took the contract and looked at it.
It's a "cloud-by-cloud" equity transfer contract, yes.
"Ziyu, why don't you wait for the first order to be decided?"
Zeng Ziyu showed a wry smile.
"There's no need! You've been busy with movies lately, and you probably don't care much about novels, but now the collection of "What the Sky" has exceeded 300,000!"
"So much!"
Wan Xiaofeng was also frightened by this data.
It's only less than 100,000 words, and it's already such a high collection, and it's already easy to put it on the shelves!
"I used the last bit of the company's family background to do a drainage, and the effect was good!"
Zeng Ziyu gave Wan Xiaofeng an answer.
"And you've given me 800,000 manuscripts now, if you can't see that this book can be popular all over the Internet, what else can I do on a fiction website?"
Wan Xiaofeng nodded, read the contract again, and signed his name.
Then give one of them to Zeng Ziyu.
"I'll inject a sum of money into the clouds, as for how to use it, you can do it, but I have a suggestion, do you want to hear it?"
"You say?"
Zeng Ziyu has a good impression of Wan Xiaofeng's attitude.
This made her feel that "chasing the clouds" was still in her hands on the bright side.
"I can't be the only author on the website, and the top priority is to restore the hematopoietic ability again!
If there is an author, there will be a novel, and there will be traffic if there is a novel, and the traffic will be exchanged for money!"
"I know this, but there is no solution in a short period of time, after all, whether it is website traffic, author treatment, or the income ceiling of the first writer, it is not competitive with those big websites at all!"
Wan Xiaofeng shook his head.
"Nothing is absolute, as long as you use the right method, even if you compete with big websites, you may not lose!"
"How?"
Zeng Ziyu's tone was a little anxious.
"Ask you a question!"
Wan Xiaofeng did not answer directly.
"What's the problem?"
"Bread and dreams, which is more important?"
"Of course it'......"
Zeng Ziyu originally wanted to answer "dream", but looking at Wan Xiaofeng's interested expression, he suddenly stopped again.
After thinking about it, he replied:
"For most people, it's bread!"
Wan Xiaofeng was very satisfied with her answer.
"But did you know that most online authors may not even be able to eat bread, and in order to survive, they have to give up their dream of writing?"
Zeng Ziyu thinks about everything.
"What do you mean?"
Wan Xiaofeng smiled.
"We don't have any advantage in competing with big websites for the author of the great god, but the great god has also come from the bottom step by step.
What we want to do is to send a piece of bread to those who can't eat, and help them have the basic ability to stick to their dreams......"
Hearing this, Zeng Ziyu understood something.
"If you master most of the newcomers' low-level authors, it will be easy to cultivate new great god authors?"
"Yes, and it's more cost-effective than spending a lot of money to poach the top authors of other websites!"
Zeng Ziyu's expression began to become excited.
In the previous online literature circle, it was really difficult to appear a great god.
Writing novels, especially novels of super length like online articles?
It requires a lot of perseverance and long-term perseverance.
Therefore, most of those who can become great gods are either blockbusters and gods with a book.
Either that, or someone who has a certain financial foundation that allows them to keep writing.
And in most cases, many low-level authors, who generate hundreds of thousands of words for love, leave the industry lonely because of food problems.
But if someone really gives them a basic guarantee, maybe most of these will come out of countless great god authors!
