Chapter 961: Follow-up Works
Don't look at the Internet, many people say that they must go to the cinema to support "Farewell My Concubine", but this is only a few cases.
Just like the per capita income of more than 10,000 on Weibo, no matter how you look at it, it is a carnival of a small number of people, and it does not represent the idea of a silent majority.
If you don't want money, just listen to it, don't take it seriously!
There is sometimes a huge difference between what you say on the Internet and what you do in real life, and some people talk about things almost online, but no one cares about them in reality.
Although many netizens said that they would go to the cinema to support a movie, the pre-sale situation seems that these people have not fulfilled their promise. They only said such things when they saw the news with enthusiasm, and they did have this kind of mentality at that point in time and situation, but they were forgotten or sobered up later.
"Don't worry about the box office, didn't we already think about it when we were filming? ”
Xu Ji said as he poured a cup of tea for Zhang Chu.
It is a very simple tea room, with unknown potted plants placed on the table, decorating the greenery of the whole room, and a screen isolating the quiet space.
Zhang Chuduan sat on the futon, he picked up the small cup in front of him with both hands, the tea was fragrant, and after drinking it all, he said: "I'm actually not too worried, I'm just a little curious about what the audience thinks after seeing the film." This movie should have been seen by more people!"
"Farewell My Concubine" has begun to make a profit before it is released, and after the screening rights in various regions of the world are sold, there are still domestic video websites vying for it, and the final result came out in the past two days, iQiyi bought the exclusive online broadcast rights at a price of up to 8 million yuan.
This is already a sky-high price for a literary film.
"We should be grateful to everyone in the audience. Xu Ji continued to mix tea into the cup, "I specially asked you to come over this time, just to say goodbye to you." Now that the film is about to be released, I, the director, know a thing. The weather conditions in Yanjing have not been very good in recent days, and I plan to change places to spend the summer in retirement. ”
Zhang Chu said with some surprise: "Are you going to leave now?
Xu Ji smiled and said: "I have already attended the premiere in Cannes, and I am too lazy to go to this in China." Don't be idle, you kid, I'm hoping to see your new book in the summer. ”
"The first draft of My Lord of the Rings is almost complete, and if you settle down, send me the address, and I'll send you the book. ”
"No, no, is there still a place in China where you can't buy your books?" Xu Ji said exaggeratedly, now Zhang Chu may not be the most well-known writer, but he is definitely the most widely covered by books.
All over the country, as long as there is a bookstore, you can see his works, whether it is men, women and children!
When the old man said this, Zhang Chu couldn't help but laugh too: "It's a bit exaggerated to say that." ”
"It's a young man's world now, and your Lord of the Rings series has to supervise the Universal side well, and if you shoot it well, you may have a long-term meal ticket in your life. Fortunately, we retired just right, otherwise it would have been miserable. By the way, now that "The Lord of the Rings" has been written, "Ghost Blows the Lantern" must be put on the agenda, right?"
As a person who is nearly seventy years old, although Xu Ji can accept "The Lord of the Rings", he likes works with Chinese characteristics such as "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" and "Farewell My Concubine".
Don't think that the elderly don't read the story, it is because they are exposed to more things that they believe in the content more!
Therefore, the readership of Zhang Chu's "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is very interesting, young people like it, the elderly like it, and middle-aged people like it too, and people of all ages can find fun in it.
Zhang Chu thought for a while and said: ""Ghost Blowing the Lamp" should be serialized on the Internet, and one may be published after the content of one volume is serialized. If you find it inconvenient, then listen to the radio, we also cooperate with the radio station, and we will find someone to talk about it. ”
Now "Ghost Blows the Lantern" has a total of eight volumes, and only two of them have been published.
Originally, he wanted to publish two volumes a year, but he was scolded to death by readers, and at the same time, the father of the gold owner was also urging him to update more.
So this time I just finished writing it all.,I don't know when it will be serialized from June.。
With more than one million words left, it is obviously impossible for him to burst out in a month, even if his hand speed can already become a tentacle monster in the online literature circle.
"Who said I wouldn't use e-reading, my grandson got me a reading app on my phone, and a lot of the stories in it are very good. Of course, it's more convenient to have a radio station, and it would be better if it was changed to storytelling!"
"Why don't you recommend a storyteller to me, and I'll be responsible for inviting him out of the mountain?" Zhang Chu also felt that the quality of the audiobook market was uneven, so he simply set a benchmark to let those listeners who were perfunctory by ordinary anchors wash their ears, and at the same time, they could also carry forward the art of storytelling, which was about to be lost.
Except for the older generation, it is estimated that most of the young people in their twenties have never heard of this, and they don't even know what storytelling is.
Of course, Xu Ji was also a little moved: "I'll help you ask first, others may not be willing to go out of the mountain now, how good it is to take an apprentice at home." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Chu felt that there was basically no problem.
With Xu Ji's status, can't he invite a master storyteller?
When the time comes, let the master demonstrate, the style of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is very suitable for storytelling, it is simply a natural pair!
Zhang Chu is not in a hurry to start updating Hu Bayi's story now, since readers have been waiting for so long, there should be no problem in waiting for two more days, and the focus at the moment is the English version of "The Lord of the Rings".
The release of "Farewell My Concubine" has nothing to do with Zhang Chu himself, and he doesn't need to go to the show or run a roadshow, just occasionally glance at the box office or evaluation.
However, Random House is in full swing preparing for the English version of "Farewell My Concubine", which is estimated to be later than the English version of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.
The translator they hired, Gao Shiyou, is also an old qualification, who has translated a large number of works and has rich experience.
The most important thing is that the English translation of "Farewell My Concubine" has a reference, and the English subtitles of the movie of the same name were made by Zhang Chu himself, and many of the terms and expressions were finalized for the translation, and the story line was also very clear.
In this way, it is very trouble-free!
There is no need for the translator to rack his brains to think about the dialogue of the characters, the names or whatnot, these are ready-made.
Therefore, when the book was written, in addition to Gao Shiyou, the signature of the light translation must also be written with Zhang Chu's name!
