150. Declaring war on the world (first update)
"The Kite Runner" is the first novel by Afghan writer Khaled Hosseini, published in 2003, the whole book revolves around the kite and two Afghan teenagers, a rich boy and the family servant about kites, about the betrayal and redemption of human nature. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
How profitable is this book? Why did Ren He choose this book to be included in the Qinghe Fund?
Since 2005, kite runners have been selling well all over the world, including the United States, the United Kingdom, France, China, etc., and have entered the top three best-selling literary books in many countries, and the sales volume in China alone has already exceeded 4 million copies, which is still the sales volume when piracy was rampant.
And it also has film and television copyrights to make profits, and it can be said that the income that a kite runner can bring is definitely far more than the three-character classic.
After all, the Three Character Classic could not sell well abroad, and it had great limitations, and there was not much market for ancient literature in this era.
Ren He believes that such a work should be able to satisfy Zhou Wumeng's appetite for charity, at least temporarily. Moreover, Zhou Wumeng will inevitably make great efforts to increase the sales of the book "The Kite Runner", and the copyright protection in this world is much stricter than in the previous life, so it is foreseeable that the economic benefits of this book in this world will definitely surpass the original world.
After all, spiritual healing books are a hard demand in this fast-paced era.
As for how anyone questioned how Ren He could write this kind of work, even Zhou Wumeng would question it, but Ren He only had one sentence: "I didn't write it, but the copyright is in my hands." β
Even the author's pen name is anonymous, it's just such a scoundrel, I don't care what you question me, I don't plan to use this to become famous, you can't interview me if you want to, okay, don't give an interview opportunity at all. Making money is making money, Ren He felt that there was nothing to explain to them.
However, Zhou Wumeng didn't know all this, and he asked, "Can this book be sold for money?"
"Yes!" Ren He was a little crying and laughing, this week old criticized him for not always having money in his eyes, and now he puts the proceeds on charity, and he himself is the one who pays the most attention to the income from books, this kind of transformation feels very strange, but it is very cute. But it made Ren He's heart sour, he couldn't learn this kind of sentiment, but he could do his best to support it.
You must know that although Zhou Lao is the chairman of the Kyoto Newspaper Group, this newspaper group is a state-owned enterprise, and his chairmanship is also appointed by the government.
In this case, it is really not easy for him to be enthusiastic about charity. I have to say that there are heroes in ordinary times, they may not be so powerful, they will not fly on the wall, and they will not shoot coins 800 meters away, but they still shine with the brilliance of humanity in this ordinary era.
Ren He said: "You will understand this book after reading it, it is a work that has both literature and sales, and if you can operate it well, it will definitely be able to provide great help to the Qinghe Fund." β
Zhou Wumeng looked at Ren He suspiciously, but inexplicably he chose to believe the other party, after all, this young man is always creating miracles. Last time, he said that he wanted to save the sales of martial arts, but Kunlun became popular all over China, and now he is talking about making a series, and there are people who want to make Kunlun into a movie.
This is also the reason why Zhou Lao is so concerned about whether Kunlun's copyright can be included in the Qinghe Fund......
"When are you going to give me this work?" asked Zhou Wumeng in hot pursuit.
"Two weeks later," Ren He thought about it and said, after all, he had to use it for a week to kick the gym in Kyoto, and when he went back, he worked overtime to copy the code words, and it took at least a week to copy out the entire kite runner, but fortunately, the number of words in this book is not very much, and it is far from Kunlun.
"Two weeks is a bit long...... By the way, how long will you stay in Kyoto?" Zhou Wumeng suddenly asked: "The work of Kunlun filming has been stagnant during this period of time because of the Qinghe Fund, and it just so happens that you can complete the audition work first, you can set a time, and then we will participate together." β
"Five days later. β
β¦β¦
Time officially entered the countdown, the next day during the day Ren He in the hotel for a whole day, and in the evening he quietly walked out of the hotel, with his black cap, driving his big pickup truck into the traffic jam in Kyoto.
It's like a war, the entertainment industry has always been a battlefield of fame and fortune, your market share is a few points larger, maybe others are a few points less.
Everything must be occupied by snatching, grabbing heat, grabbing headlines, and grabbing resources.
The time for the release of new songs must be set, and there should be no conflict between the big names, so as not to fall into the gods. Of course, there are also those who deliberately fight, such as Jiang Siyao and Jiang Chen, who have always released new albums at the same time, loving and killing each other, and competing fiercely.
It's like two people with strong personalities, always wanting to compare with each other, Ren He even guessed that the two broke up because they were not convinced by each other, and he didn't know where the final outcome of the two would go.
Striving for fame and fortune is the main theme of the entertainment industry, what does Yang Xi, a rookie girl, use to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry? Ren He feels that in addition to good songs, there must be enough means.
Yang Xi simply doesn't understand this, but she has Ren He.
And tonight, Ren He is going to take Yang Xi to stand up completely, completely, and declare war on those entertainment predators! He wants to make Yang Xi's light no longer easy to cover up in these five days, and after this battle, Yang Xi is one of the most shining stars in the entertainment industry.
The two of them are about to declare war on the entire entertainment world, and this kind of thing will be exciting to think about!
Predators, get ready to fight, the smile on Ren He's face can't be hidden.
β¦β¦
The night in Kyoto is glorious.
Its prosperity, its prosperity, has brought people only more fatigue and more complaints.
But there are also people who choose to cover their ears this night, not to listen to its exhaustion, not to listen to its complaints, not to listen to its prosperity, not to listen to its complaints.
And so the world was finally quiet.
Xie Zexi sat by the window of her bar, there were customers in the bar early, and there was a noisy atmosphere, but she was a little melancholy. The air conditioner was turned on in the bar, and Xie Zexi only wore a tight-fitting vest, showing her beautiful body in her twenties to the fullest.
Since the end of the music boom at the beginning of the year, her business has completely improved, many celebrities in the folk industry are willing to come to her bar to perform, and more customers are willing to come to her for drinks and music.
But she always felt that something was missing......
Probably missing that amazing feeling.
Some people often say, don't meet too amazing people when you're young, so that you won't feel bored in the rest of your life.
And Xie Zexi had such thoughts at this moment, she suddenly wondered if those two teenagers and girls would appear in her life, it was like passion and strong desire in a peaceful life.
Sometimes she dreams that the young man with the cap is standing at the entrance of the bar, and asks her with a slight smile in his tone, "Boss, can you sing?" β
She would always say yes and wake up.
But when I woke up, all I saw was an empty room.
Business is good, food and clothing are worry-free, but the spirit is empty, this feeling is uncomfortable.
Suddenly, Xie Zexi looked at the floor-to-ceiling glass window and was stunned, as if he didn't know that he had touched a mysterious button in this world, and then walked into a dream.
Outside the crystal clear glass window, there is a pair of teenagers and girls standing there with peaked caps, Xie Zexi can't see their faces, but he can see the young man's smiling lips lightly, Xie Zexi can understand the shape of his mouth, it is a scene repeated countless times in dreams: Boss, can you sing?
