Chapter 33 A Thousand Birds in the Forest, It's Better to Have a Bird in Your Hand!
Engaging in online literature in Europe and the United States?
It seems a bit nonsense, but the fact is that online literature is not new in Europe and the United States.
You know, the Internet originated in the United States, and online writing began here. However, European and American countries have not developed a fixed pattern of what the Celestial Empire calls "Internet literature", and even scholars' understanding of "Internet literature" is broad and arbitrary, and even in the academic world, there is no tendency to unify it.
In particular, living in an environment where the bestseller mechanism and popular culture are relatively mature, foreign readers have many choices, and the proportion and number of original works produced by the West are relatively small, and it is far from being commercialized. It can be said that their concept of online literature is weak, or even none.
In fact, in the Internet age, the art of words is no longer the 'most favored art', but the legacy of printing civilization. You must know that the Internet era is the era of audio-visual civilization.
Even the Internet literature of the Celestial Empire is only because of its extremely special literary environment, after more than ten years of barbaric growth, it will form a trend, especially through the Internet, all kinds of potential literary resources and vitality are reactivated and organized. Millions of authors and hundreds of millions of readers are writing, reading, talking, and interacting on the Internet at the same time, and such a mode and scale of production are indeed unprecedented in the history of mankind.
To be honest, Arthur also knew that even if he was engaged in online literature websites and translated online texts in the UK, it was only a niche culture, and it was difficult to enter the mainstream market of Western genre literature. After all, cultural barriers are not so easy to break.
However, Arthur doesn't care that it will be niche, as long as there are millions of readers, it is enough to make the website grow and develop, the large and comprehensive entrepreneurial model of the IT industry is outdated, and the future is the world of specialized enterprises.
That is, instead of a thousand birds in the forest, it is better to have a NIAO in hand!
Moreover, Arthur also believed in the charm of the Celestial Empire's online literature.
What charm?
That is cool - the main mode of "grassroots counterattack" is quite universal, which can meet the common YW of different people. It is not surprising that the genre novels produced can be fascinated by foreigners.
The key is that there is such a literary website, and his Bolin Publishing House has quite a resource reserve, whether it is IP development, making movies or making games, this is a way to make a lot of money.
Look at Marvel, which of those superheroes under its umbrella is not a cash cow? The online website founded by Arthur may not be able to become a new Marvel or DC in the future.
Well, it's a bit far to think about these now, the most important thing at present is to send someone to the Celestial Empire as soon as possible to sign the overseas copyright agreement, although you can also choose to take advantage of loopholes and pirate translation, but, in order to prevent possible competitors, or take the agency right, after all, in Europe and the United States, copyright issues, but a big problem, once the defendant infringes, piracy, then it will really have tears.
Closing the page at a certain point, Arthur reopened the official forum of "Twilight", checked the fanfiction he had published, and couldn't help but be a little surprised to see more than 10,000 readers, and many reader comments.
What "I like this domineering Edward... "Please update as soon as possible!" "I can't wait to see the follow-up... "There are hundreds of messages of all kinds.
After reading Arthur's messages one by one, he also sincerely sighed that the success of 'standing on the shoulders of giants' is indeed relatively easy, and he did not expect that he could get so much support with only one chapter.
Where is this, I haven't raced yet, once it soars, plus heavy taste, otherwise this group of rotten girls will be completely crazy?
The most popular passage in England is that it has been suggested that the Bibles in the hotels of England should be replaced with "Fifty Shades of Grey", and the discordant content in it has long become a treasure trove guide for British men and women to improve their lives...
Wait, the old driver who has been suppressed for many years, once he can drag racing unscrupulously, the energy that bursts out is absolutely amazing!
Copy-paste, Arthur updates another chapter.
With a move of his finger, Arthur opened the document and began to continue to write "Boleyn Manor", before the injury on his head was not completely healed, and before removing the bandage, he, the earl, decided to stay in the manor and write in peace, after all, the image of the bandage is really a bit funny, which is a blow to the image of him, the earl, and the 13 grids.
Although his fame has become a joke within a certain range, however, the newcomer has a new atmosphere, everything starts from scratch!
At 8:30, after eating dinner on time, Arthur returned to the bedroom with a family notebook, and after enjoying the salt bath again, he lay down on Chuang, flipping through the family history while waiting for the call from the dragon mother.
For a senior online writer, in the end, he will practice two exclusive skills, that is, persistence and patience with loneliness, and boredom as a companion.
It was only around 10 p.m. that Arthur received a call from Amelia, who had just finished work and was returning to her rented apartment, and it was raining in London.
On this rainy autumn night, Emilia was sitting by the window of the overnight bus, listening to the phone, Arthur read his novel "Boleyn Manor" in a low voice, feeling extremely warm and sweet.
IT WASN'T UNTIL EMILIA SNORED SLIGHTLY ON THE OTHER END OF THE PHONE THAT ARTHUR YAWNED AND HUNG UP THE PHONE, LOOKED AT THE TIME, IT WAS PAST MIDNIGHT, GOT UP AND DRANK A GLASS OF WATER, AND AFTER GOING TO THE TOILET, HE ALSO TURNED OFF THE WOUND LAMP, TOOK OFF HIS PAJAMAS, FELT THE SILK SHUNHUA, CLOSED HIS EYES, AND FELL ASLEEP.
Had a good night's sleep until dawn and no more insomnia.
Arthur got down from the wound, put on his nightgown, walked to the window, stretched out his hand to open the window, sniffed the fresh air, listened to the chirping of birds in the garden, and at the moment when he closed his eyes, the cool breeze blew in his face, accompanied by the slightest coolness, a small raindrop fell mischievously on his cheeks, looking in the direction of the wind, looking at the beautiful scene left by the baptism of rain, and a wordless pleasure arose in his heart.
But last night's storm left the rose garden in shambles, with petals all over the ground.
"It's a pity... Arthur sighed, closed the window, walked back to the wound, reached out and rang the bell, walked into the bathroom, and began to wash.
After a while, there was a knock on the door, pushed open, and Paul, the housekeeper with a warm smile, walked in with the waiter and maid, and Arthur took a towel to wipe the water stains on his face, and walked out of the bathroom, and said with a smile: "Morning, Paul." ”
"Good morning, My Lord. Paul, the butler, bowed gracefully and saluted.
