Chapter 668: Covering the Sky with One Hand
"Have you heard? The Da Vinci Code is officially signing with Disney!"
"Is it going to be made into a cartoon? It's actually Disney. ”
The subway station is already crowded in the early morning, and the early office workers and students have already begun to queue up.
Xie Yuli yawned with her bag on her back, as a senior in high school, she had very little entertainment time, only a little easier on the way to and from school.
The family is worried that the mobile phone will affect their studies, so Xie Yuli's mobile phone turned out to be the oldest kind of Nokia, which can only call and receive text messages, and can't understand any other entertainment.
Fortunately, the LED screen in the subway occasionally plays some news, and I can listen to some gossip from my friends, otherwise I would really be isolated from the world!
Now while the train has not yet come, Xie Yuli looked up at the screen in front of him intently, probably more serious than listening to the lecture in class.
Today, foreign media broke the news that Disney Pictures is in contact with Hanlin Culture Media, and the two sides have reached an agreement on the copyright of the "Da Vinci Code" movie, and it is reported that the contract will provide more than 10 million US dollars in copyright and a lot of box office dividends. The film is expected to be released next Christmas, and the filmmaker said that it will select suitable Chinese actors to join. ”
Even in the third year of high school, there are many people in their class discussing this book, especially those boys, who regard this book as a masterpiece with a wide range of knowledge.
The variety of things in it is dazzling, and one can't help but admire the author's writing ability.
There's nothing happier than being able to learn while relaxing your brain!
The teachers also turned a blind eye to the students when they read this book, and did not directly confiscate the books.
Xie Yuli heard that several young people around her were discussing the filming of "The Da Vinci Code", and she was very surprised by its popularity, but she didn't expect it to be so wide!
There are many works that are popular in the student class and on the Internet, but not many people care about them among ordinary people.
But this time Zhang Chu is different, even if the people haven't seen it, they are more or less exposed to it from the news or daily life.
They have been almost surrounded by this news for a while, from the chats of friends and colleagues, to the surrounding TVs, mobile phone pop-up messages or reading prompts, they all know about "The Da Vinci Code".
Although everyone doesn't particularly care about who the film and television producer is when watching the movie, Disney's name is still very useful.
It's just that ordinary people think that it is a place to shoot cartoons, and they never thought that Disney was actually a huge business group!
After coming to school, Xie Yuli pulled her friend over, and she whispered: "Have you read the news? The news says that "The Da Vinci Code" is going to be filmed, who do you think will play the hero and heroine?"
Sun Huiyun took out the thick volume from his schoolbag, and replied exaggeratedly: "Of course I know such a big thing! It's a pity that Lin Xi is too young, I think Uncle Daoming has a scholarly temperament, and his acting skills are also quite good." If only Zhang Chu had the ability to protect him as the leading actor!"
"Uncle Daoming feels that acting is a bit of a show, and it is a little hard to imagine that he is in exile with a French beauty in a foreign country. As for the heroine, Sophie Marceau is very good, she is in her prime, and she looks against the sky in "First Kiss" and "Fangfang"!"
"Obviously, Adjani is the god of Yan, and it is not an exaggeration for a fairy to go down to earth. ”
Before class, the two of them began to exchange homework with each other while arguing.
……
At this time, the Internet is already boiling, "The Da Vinci Code" has unparalleled popularity, and now after joining forces with Disney, everyone is watching how Di Baobao shoots an adult thriller movie!
"Di Bao Shengshi, boldly predict the box office of this movie, it will definitely be crazy in China and Europe, I don't know what will happen in North America. ”
"I hope Disney doesn't make it into a fairy tale, and it's better to keep it as it is. ”
"I love this one to death, if Disney ruins it, I'm going to boycott all the movies it produces!"
"Zhang Chu's big purse is getting more and more bulging, so many works are selling well, it's amazing. ”
"Disney's execution ability is still pretty good, congratulations. ”
"Isn't it? I think making a movie will definitely ruin the original book. ”
"It should be allowed to ferment and ferment, and when the time comes, it can be easily swept away by virtue of the factor of feelings!"
Netizens are quite supportive of this decision, and only a small number of fans feel that it will destroy the image of the masterpiece in their minds.
From words to images, the story of "The Da Vinci Code" is thrilling, and the secrets unearthed are so shocking that the slightest carelessness in the script of the film can go astray.
They are longing, but they are worried, who can take on the responsibility of directing, who can write the right script?
At the same time, "The Da Vinci Code" has completed the achievement of killing and is moving towards the road of supergodhood.
On the bestseller lists in North America, it has been No. 1 for three consecutive weeks, so that the future works will not be able to see the future!
The New York Times bestseller list, Amazon sales list, Kindle paid download list, ibook download list, and the "Goodread" most read list, known as Douban in the United States, are all unsurprisingly dominant.
Even on the list of recommended books for American universities, it is also the most recommended work among the top 10 universities!
Columbia University used big data to analyze and compare more than 1 million course syllabuses from universities in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and found the most frequently occurring bibliography titles, in which "The Da Vinci Code" topped the list with a terrifying 3,900 times, nearly 500 more than the second place "Imaginary Country".
One of the paradoxes of measuring book lists by sales is that if it makes it to one store's best-seller list, it keeps making the best-selling charts of the rest.
Because people don't know whether the book is good or not before they buy it, and the evaluation after buying it and whether they have read the work or not will not be fed back to the bookseller.
Turned two or three pages and put down the night reading with relish, and it was a data on the best-selling list, selling 1 book!
"The Da Vinci Code", which has occupied the first place on the best-selling list for three consecutive weeks, undoubtedly has the strongest advertising effect.
Readers who know its content want to buy it, and readers who don't know the content want to try it after seeing its terrifying sales.
That's why this product is the best in the global book market, and the three-week championship doesn't seem to be a problem at all, and it aims for five, eight, or even ten weeks!
In the mainland market, The Da Vinci Code is no less dominant, with 4.2 million physical copies sold in three weeks, and bookstores in many places are already out of stock, so consumers can only choose to shop online from the official flagship store of Hanlin Culture Media.
This terrifying craze also brought Zhang Chu's previous works to fire, and the Nanhai Publishing Company directly reprinted them, and many of the works even directly reprinted 500,000 copies or 1 million copies!
