Chapter 14 Copyright of Overseas Film Adaptations
Once Zeyue's overseas version was launched, it was really popular, and the young people of foreigners were fascinated one by one, and the momentum of chasing books was no worse than that of Chinese, and the overseas version was full of various messages.
"Oh so good! It just opens up another world! Who says Chinese don't have creativity?!"
"I finally saw that the good guys had a good end, and the bad guys all died!"
"What a mysterious ...... of oriental cultivation"
"It turns out that the dragons in the east are so powerful, compared to our 'powerful dragons' in the west, they are simply ridiculous......"
"It seems that Chinese don't like the pope, and every time the Holy See appears, he plays a negative role...... But I like it, why does the Holy See have to be bright and just, are vampires and werewolves inherently destined to be bad?"
"The speed of translation is too slow, I want to learn Chinese......"
Last year, Zeyue's overseas edition broke two news, which once attracted national attention.
A rebellious teenager in Sarsumtts, USA, usually fights on the streets, steals, and even smokes marijuana, which breaks his adoptive parents' hearts. Unexpectedly, after contacting the Internet, I was out of control, not only did I stop fooling around, but I even quit marijuana because I was watching the Internet in China and diverted my attention.
His teenage friends who are fooling around on the streets all day long, under his recommendation, after coming into contact with the Internet, actually 'changed their ways and returned to the right' one by one, rarely came out to fool around, spent most of their time at home, and set up a 'community reading club' to discuss the plot.
That teenager became the first American writer to sign a contract with Zeyue Chinese.com, writing a book called "The Godfather of All Americas", which is purely English. tells the story of a gangster, a gangster, manipulating the Federal Reserve, and manipulating the U.S. election......
In the overseas edition, the book did quite well, and then it was translated into Chinese in reverse, and it was set to be in the early 2,000s on the Zeyue Chinese edition. The author also earns tens of thousands of dollars a month because of this.
Even the local media in the United States carried out propaganda.
The second news, is Russian.
The human nature of this fighting nation is so wild that it is not even safe to live in prison, there are often fights and even homicides, and the prison security is very poor, which is a headache for the administrators.
A prison in the Volgograd region had the whimsical idea of giving convicts two hours a day to read and watch the Chinese Internet, and if there were criminals who violated management regulations, they would be banned in addition to the regular punishment.
Since then, the prison's internal security has improved dramatically, and relations between fellow inmates have eased.
It is said that when there is a conflict between prisoners in a prison, the most common thing the prison guard says is, 'Don't you want to know what happened next?'
Then one or both sides of the conflict will spit on the ground, glaring at each other, and saying viciously: "Damn, you're lucky! When I know if Rogge has killed the Pope or not, I will definitely beat you to your knees and beg for mercy!"
Because China's network is so long, most of them take years, or even decades, to write. Before the prisoner finished reading it, his sentence might have expired, or it had been too long, and he had long forgotten the original contradiction.
The governor of the Volgograd region announced his readiness to draw on the experience of this prison and popularize it in prisons throughout the state.
These two things were only rumored to be jokes among book lovers at first, but in terms of chasing books, Chinese book lovers and foreign book lovers can still find a common language. After that, some experts and semi-professionals noticed that they began to move towards 'cultural export'.
Regardless of whether the Internet is sunny and snowy or the lower riba people, it is a kind of culture. China's Internet can influence foreign countries, and this is something to be proud of. Who says it has to be like Harry Potter, like fire and ice?
Zhao Zejun and Yu Zhe used to give an example, 'The Count of Monte Cristo is also a cool text', was turned out again, and it was widely circulated. As a result, Zeyue Chinese Network has won several awards such as the National Advanced Cultural Unit, and the strong stock price in the financial crisis is also related to this.
For authors and websites, the real benefit is the manuscript fee. The total number of foreigner users is far less than that of mainland users, but the genuine rate is too high. It must be admitted that foreigners still have copyright protection in place, and there is almost no piracy, and if one is caught, the other party will be sued and bankrupt. Zeyue's senior management even joked, hoping that there would be a few more pirated websites abroad, and if one was caught, Zeyue would be able to have a large amount of income......
Of course, not all networks are popular. For example, historical and urban classes, due to differences in culture, society, etc., foreigners may not necessarily understand. The most popular ones are fantasy and immortal cultivation.
In the first two years, the income of the overseas edition was only a relatively small part of the income of Zeyue's authors, as a supplement. However, in recent years, with the increase in publicity and the wide popularity of overseas editions, the income of overseas editions has become a major part that authors cannot ignore.
Not only the manuscript fee, but the overseas version has begun copyright operation and sold a batch.
The overseas version has always been profitable,Mobile wireless reading,But it was officially opened at the end of last year,According to the rules of mobile semi-annual settlement,This month is just the settlement of moneyγ
The reading software of the mobile phone client is called 'Hereading', and after half a year, the number of users has actually caught up with the total number of mainland users of Zeyue Chinese Network!
You must know that the era of mobile Internet has just arrived, and the total number of smartphones in the country is less than 100 million.
Yu Zhe opened the backstage this month and found that the manuscript fee was actually a 0 more than usual, and thought it was a statistical error, but later found out that this was the wireless manuscript fee for the first six months.
In other words, the average revenue of wireless every month has exceeded his income on the website.
In addition to being happy, Yu Zhe, who writes books alone all the year round, thought of organizing a class reunion and everyone got together.
Yu Zhe's personality is very interesting, he organizes a class reunion, and he will definitely brag at the meeting, but he will not attack or mean others, nor will he distinguish his classmates because he is good at mixing, in general, he is not annoying, and he is relatively 'true'.
Zhao Zejun smiled and said to the phone: "Tell me when and where you are, I will go when I am free, not necessarily." β
"It's not decided yet, I'll ask you first. Yu Zhe said.
"Well, let's do it, since you want to show off, you will show it in place, and I will arrange it for you in Shanghe. The time is yours. Zhao Zejun said: "But let me tell you, the mobile reading piece has just started, and the law has not yet been touched, so you can't take this income as the norm, and it may be more or less in the future." β
"Boss, it's not me bragging, the money is a number to me now!" Yu Zhe laughed, "By the way, you don't know yet, the copyright of Liuhua Foil was sold, and it was sold to Universal Pictures for one million dollars, wahahaha, after deducting the share tax or something, I divided 400,000!"
"Oh, I really don't know. Zhao Zejun smiled: "Coincidentally, I'll have a meeting later, Zeyue is about to report on the overseas copyright sale this time, and it is said that the sale is very good." β
Zeyue Chinese not only opened up the overseas paid reading market, but also officially held the first auction of overseas film rights last month.
