Chapter 432: CCTV Interview
Beijing Evening News: "Zheng Zhefan's investment is a bit big, I hope his billions can make a splash, the current online literature environment is actually very bad, the author is utilitarian, readers read books just for the sake of sensory refreshment, excellent traditional literature authors may not be able to succeed on this soil, of course, if you don't try it, you will never have a chance to succeed." In any case, Zheng Zhefan should be thanked. ”
Qilu Evening News: "Serious literature needs such a strong shot! However, if all the outstanding writers in China write on the Internet, it will undoubtedly be a fatal blow to the bleak literary publishing industry, and they will lose even high-quality content." ”
With the increase in the number of reprints by these media and big Vs, Zheng Zhefan found that the popularity of his Weibo continued to rise.
Five hours later, keywords such as "Everyone's Literature Network" and "Zheng Zhefan signed 100 excellent traditional writers" were on the hot search.
However, it has only just emerged and hung at the end of the hot search.
A day later, these two keywords were in the top few bites.
It was at this time that Zheng Zhefan received a call from a CCTV cultural news reporter.
"It's Mr. Zheng Zhefan, right?"
"Yes, who are you?"
"Hello Mr. Zheng, I am a reporter from CCTV Culture News, my name is Lei Min, I want to do an exclusive interview with you, is it okay?"
"Hello Reporter Lei, when are you coming? We can find a quiet place to talk. Zheng Zhefan said.
"We are now in the Blue River Provincial Writers' Association, and we have just interviewed Chairman Li Zelin. Lei Min said.
"Oh, then I'll just go straight to the association. Zheng Zhefan said.
"Nacheng, then we will wait for you here. Lei Min said.
Zheng Zhefan hung up the phone and drove over directly.
The exam has been completed, and this is a vacation, so he can devote himself to his work.
Zheng Zhefan still attaches great importance to being interviewed by CCTV reporters.
Although with the impact of the Internet, especially mobile phone Internet, the current situation of TV is not very good, but CCTV is still the strongest TV media, there is no doubt about it.
If it can be reported by CCTV, it will also set off a greater repercussion in society.
When Zheng Zhefan arrived at the Provincial Writers' Association, it was already eleven o'clock in the morning.
The CCTV reporter was in Li Zelin's office.
Zheng Zhefan rushed over directly.
Knocking on the door and walking in, Li Zelin introduced Zheng Zhefan with a smile on his face: "Zhefan, this beauty is CCTV reporter Lei Min, and she is also a senior reporter who interviews cultural news." ”
Zheng Zhefan glanced at Lei Min.
She is a woman in her thirties, with a long figure, a good face, and a pair of rimless resin glasses, which has a very intellectual beauty.
"Hello Reporter Lei!"
"Hello Mr. Zheng, I've heard of your name for a long time, and I've wanted to interview you for a long time, but I haven't had a chance. ”
The two shook hands and greeted each other.
Then, everyone sat down on the couch.
The camera reporter stood in front of the two men and pointed the camera at them.
"Mr. Zheng, I would like to ask, when did you start to have the idea of building a serious literary website and signing up with well-known domestic writers to write online?"
"This idea is very sudden, that is, the last time I was invited by a friend, I came to the Provincial Writers' Association to participate in the Spring Festival tea party, and then I learned about the current situation of traditional literature, I am also a literature lover, I want to do something for literature, so I came up with the idea of making a pure literature website, bringing together outstanding well-known writers in China to write online. Zheng Zhefan said with a smile.
"So, have you done all the preparatory work now?" asked Lei Min again.
"Yes, the website and APP have been built, just waiting for the launch, we have also signed contracts with one hundred and five of the best writers in China, their works will start to be serialized after the Spring Festival, and when the 'Everybody Literature Website' opens, you can read many new works by excellent writers. Zheng Zhefan replied.
"I've noticed that your company has signed a lot of top traditional writers, can you show me the list of signings?" asked Lei Min.
"No problem. I can show it to the camera. Zheng Zhefan agreed.
He called and asked someone from his company upstairs to send down the list of signed writers.
Zheng Zhefan handed the list to Lei Min.
Lei Min looked at it himself and said: "It's amazing, it's really a super-first-class master, and almost all of them have been wiped out." ”
She shows the paper to the camera again.
The camera reporter gave the list of big names a big close-up. In particular, the names of several leading writers in China are highlighted.
"Mr. Zheng, why do these top excellent traditional writers agree to sign a contract with your website? They don't seem to make a lot of money, they just pay at least one million in royalties for their old works every year, and then write a new book, sell calligraphy and paintings, or whatever, there will always be millions a year. Even if you give them two million a year, it stands to reason that it shouldn't be too attractive to them. Lei Min asked again.
Zheng Zhefan replied: "The reason why the teachers support me so much is because we all have a common goal: to make traditional literature have a better future, after all, except for me, there is no one who has come forward to support the new development of pure literature with such a big hand." ”
"How much money has Mr. Zheng invested so far?" asked Lei Min with a smile.
"At present, more than 200 million have been invested. Zheng Zhefan replied.
"Do you estimate to yourself, how long will it take to start making a profit? If you can't make a profit all the time, and you need to invest a lot of money every year, will you continue to stick to it?" asked Lei Min.
Her question was sharp, but realistic.
According to Zheng Zhefan's handwriting, his fixed expenditure will be 300 million yuan every year. If it can't be profitable, it's a heavy burden.
"My plan is to start making a profit in a year. I have this confidence, because my website is unique in China, in addition to more than 100 new works by famous authors, I will also operate high-quality literature lovers and amateur authors' works, my goal is to create a high-quality serious literature website, to give high-quality readers a reliable reading platform. Zheng Zhefan said with a smile.
"I appreciate Mr. Zheng's self-confidence, but what if he can't make a profit after a year? Lei Min asked with a smile.
"Even if I can't make a profit, I'll do it for at least five years, because I didn't have the intention of making money when I wanted to do it. Zheng Zhefan said with a smile.
