On this day, Lin Zixuan came to the Ministry of Culture of China. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Mu Zhiyuan mentioned to him in advance that it was about the publication of "Xiaoxue's Great Adventure" abroad, and it was a good thing that the cultural department needed to understand the situation.

Since its publication in other countries in February, "Little Snow's Adventure" has not sold as well as in the UK, but it has not been bad, reaching bestseller lists in the US, France and Italy.

This story is set in the United Kingdom, which is naturally more popular with British readers.

Lin Zixuan has a certain fame in Europe, and readers in France and Italy recognize his works.

The United States and the United Kingdom are both English-speaking countries, and American publishers are good at publicizing, and "Little Snow's Big Adventure" even reached No. 5 on the New York Times bestseller list.

In other words, the novels in this series have the potential to sell well around the world.

The person in charge of receiving Lin Zixuan is a deputy director in charge of publishing work, and there is no need for Mu Zhiyuan to come forward on this occasion, and it is enough for department-level cadres.

The deputy director talked with Lin Zixuan for half an hour.

Lin Zixuan made preparations in advance, talked in detail about the follow-up writing plan, and prepared to cooperate with Hollywood studios to make movies.

At present, several film companies have been contacted and are being negotiated.

The interview was just a formality, a record-keeping, and the cultural department did an in-depth investigation, and had detailed data in hand, including the sales of the novel in various countries.

After analysis, they decided to make an appointment with Lin Zixuan.

Government departments pay attention to procedures, and this meeting is only the first link, and Lin Zixuan expressed his determination to cooperate in order to carry out the operation of the next link.

This may not be efficient, but it is safe.

Lin Zixuan is definitely willing to cooperate, and having a country come forward is equivalent to opening a plug-in, and in the future, "Xiaoxue's Great Adventure" will be made into a movie and released in China, which will be a green light all the way.

There is also the construction of related amusement parks to create a complete set of industrial chains.

What he wants to do is to represent China and other countries in cultural exchanges, which is more symbolic.

The deputy director finally talked about the fact that China has its own traditional culture, and it does not necessarily have to be from the Western background, and that the East also has moving myths and stories.

He encouraged Lin Zixuan to create fairy tales with oriental backgrounds on this basis.

This involves the issue of cultural export.

"Xiaoxue's Great Adventure" is good, but it uses a magical background, and there is too little traditional culture in China, although it is conducive to the spread of the Western world, there are always some regrets.

How to export China's culture to all countries in the world and enhance China's influence is a difficult problem.

Lin Zixuan agreed.

After this series ends, the next series will be Xiaoxue's adventure in the East, a mythical version.

In the story, there will be dragon palaces, underworlds and heavenly immortals.

He intends to write the adventure story of Xiaoxue in the form of a fairy tale.

Once the movie "Xiaoxue's Great Adventure" becomes popular all over the world, Xiaoxue's character will become a very influential brand, and the follow-up stories can also attract the attention of readers from all over the world.

In this way, the traditional culture of the East entered the Western world and was accepted by more people.

Lin Zixuan slightly revealed this writing plan, which was affirmed by the deputy director.

If you want to gain the support of the state, you must show sincerity.

Besides, this was originally in Lin Zixuan's plan, but it just took time to think about it.

Leaving the Ministry of Culture, Lin Zixuan put this matter aside for the time being, and he was busy with the publicity work of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

The deputy director took the interview record and reported the results of the conversation to the above, and was quite satisfied with Lin Zixuan's performance.

The final decision was made after several meetings between the relevant personnel of the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

If the administrative apparatus of the state is compared to cogs, then after a decision is made, these cogs begin to move slowly.

Slowly, it doesn't stop.

The diplomatic department is responsible for communicating with the British royal family, which takes a long time.

The cultural department will recommend "Xiaoxue's Great Adventure" as an extracurricular reading material for primary and secondary school students.

The most efficient was the industrial and commercial department, which conducted a major inspection of the pirated books of "Xiaoxue's Great Adventure" in the capital and seized more than 100,000 pirated books.

Once the government departments are serious, there is nothing that cannot be done.

Pirates across the country got inside information and should be careful about pirating "Xiaoxue's Big Adventure" in the future.

Lin Zixuan is happy to see this, he knows that this approach can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause, but as long as there is a beginning, it will get better and better in the future.

If only "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" could have this kind of treatment.

At present, it is difficult for domestic films to be free of piracy, not because of how powerful the pirates are, but because of the lax supervision, or the collusion between inside and outside.

If a film wants to be released nationwide, it needs to send copies of the film to cinemas everywhere.

Huaying Group is responsible for making copies of the film and sending the copies to the theaters.

The number of copies is determined by the number of films scheduled by the theater, for example, Lin Xiaoling's "Going Home" has only two copies in Beijing, and "The Funeral of a Big Shot" has 30 copies in Beijing.

When copies enter cinemas, there are regulatory loopholes.

It is impossible for Huaying Group to send people to keep an eye on the copy, there are hundreds of movie theaters across the country, and each movie theater arranges one person, so the labor cost is too great.

Good Dreams is also not capable of doing so.

Pirates often collude with movie theaters to obtain copies at low prices and make pirated CDs for sale.

For a blockbuster like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", a copy costs at least 100,000 yuan, and an ordinary movie costs only 20,000 or 30,000 yuan.

Of course, cinemas in big cities rarely do this, they are strictly managed, they pay well, and there is no need to take risks.

Cinemas in second- and third-tier cities are the most prone to problems, and pirates are eyeing those theaters.

In addition, cinemas in big cities do not allow audiences to bring cameras into the theater, and cinemas in second- and third-tier cities do not care about this, and they are a breeding ground for piracy.

In order to prevent piracy, film companies will adopt the method of first round of screenings.

The first round of screenings takes place only in big cities, usually for five to seven days, and the film company will send someone to escort the copy, and watch the movement of the copy in the cinema.

During this time, piracy rarely occurred, and it was only in the second round of screenings that the scale of the theater chain expanded, and piracy appeared.

If Huaying Group really wants to check, it will definitely be able to find out, but when it comes to the chain of interests, no one wants to touch it, and piracy has become a norm.

In order to completely prevent piracy, it is necessary to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to keep track of every copy, conduct strict inspections at the entrance of the cinema, and do not allow the audience to bring any camera equipment.

Lin Zixuan is ready to try this measure during the release of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", at least to ensure that no pirated discs appear on the market for at least ten days.
