Chapter 226: The Next Stop Is - Singapore!

Yu Donglou said: "It's Wen Ruian!" A few years ago, he came to Taiwan to study and study Chinese. After enrolling, he organized the 'Sirius Poetry Society' and expanded more than a dozen branches in Taiwan in one fell swoop. Wen Ruian is also a teenager, and he actually wants to express his political ideas through the thousands of members of his poetry club, and set the purpose of the poetry club of 'carrying forward the national spirit and reviving Chinese culture'! Last year, the Sirius Poetry Society made a big disturbance, and the authorities were very annoyed, and sent military police to arrest a large number of members of the Sirius Poetry Society. And Wen Ruian himself was detained and detained, and Wen Ruian was just deported this year! The crime is - 'propaganda for bandits'! ”

Propaganda for bandits? This charge quickly made Zhang Shaojie understand. As a matter of fact, even if the Kuomintang "transferred" to Taiwan, it still regarded itself as China's orthodoxy and called the regime at home a bandit.

In fact, in most cases, the so-called "propaganda for bandits" is just the trumped-up charges that the Kuomintang authorities have made to see certain behaviors as an eyesore, and Shunchang has gone against the grain and died.

Zhang Shaojie shook his head and said, "When a group of young students gather, they can't help but be young and frivolous and talk nonsense!" The authorities are also making too much of a fuss, can the Sky Wolf Poetry Society become a climate? ”

"Who's to say it isn't, but Wen Ruian has violated the taboo of the authorities! Therefore, no matter how potential his book is, it has been listed as [***], and now Taiwan's publishing houses don't dare to publish Wen Rui'an's book! Yu Donglou said, "This is politics!" ”

From the side of Yu Donglou, I heard Wen Ruian's news. Zhang Shaojie had already made up his mind in his heart, and he wanted to take advantage of Wen Ruian's disambition to win over this person.

However, some of the plans that Zhang Shaojie plans to implement in the Taiwan market have also begun to be put on hold for the time being, and it is a good opportunity to introduce the works of mainland writers when the Taiwan market is opened up in the future.

Compared with Taiwan and the mainland, Hong Kong's publishing market is less politically constrained.

Basically, the Hong Kong publishing market, as long as it is not pornographic and violent as prohibited by law, does not matter in terms of politics.

Anyway, in the 80s, labor costs in the mainland were very low. You can collect a large number of manuscripts from mainland writers at a low cost and publish them in Hong Kong. Finally, through the selection of the Hong Kong market, some popular and excellent works were screened, packaged, adapted and translated, and entered the international market.

It can be regarded as Zhang Shaojie's decision to use one person's strength. Carry out enlightenment education for the public and the general public in the mainland, and activate the imagination and story imagination of more than 1 billion people!

"Well, since you have such a grand idea, I also support you. If you lack talent and funds, I can support you! Yu Donglou said with a smile.

"The problem of money, I can solve it myself! In fact, the most scarce thing is editorial talent! Zhang Shaojie said with a smile.

Yu Donglou said, "I can lend you 10 excellent editors. I have one condition, though! ”

"Conditions?" Zhang Shaojie was stunned.

"It's mainly about your "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" fandom!" Yu Donglou said, "Do you know that you have opened an opening and authorized those authors to write "Datang" fandom! Then soon, there will be a large number of street authors, who will frantically join the ranks of writing "Datang" fandom"

Zhang Shaojie said: "Of course I know, this is a good thing. The more authors create "Datang" fandom, the more the cultural influence of "Datang" will increase. It will be very beneficial for my future business adaptation and operation! ”

"However, for Wansheng Press, that is a big disadvantage! From the point of view of the light market, fanworks sometimes seriously rob readers with the original work! Yu Donglou frowned and said, "You will also be a shareholder of Wansheng, you can't just watch Wansheng's interests suffer, right?" ”

"So what do you say?" Zhang Shaojie said.

"You will publish the copyright of "Datang" and exclusively authorize it to Wansheng!" Yu Donglou finally told his true purpose.

Yu Donglou proposed that Wansheng have an exclusive monopoly on publishing "Datang" fandom, but Zhang Shaojie did not agree.

Because, monopoly usually leads to unenterprising!

Only through market-oriented competition among Taiwan's publishing houses will it bring pressure to Wansheng, making Wansheng pay more attention to the development of "Datang" and the market for "Datang" original works, fandom and other related works.

In the end, the two discussed a compromise.

It was Zhang Shaojie who allowed Wansheng to authorize the organization of "Datang" and send editors.

The editor of Wansheng can guide the publication of the same author! However, if the authors of "Datang" are unwilling to submit their manuscripts to Wansheng, they can't be forced.

Of course, any publisher that publishes the same works of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" must pay 1% royalties!

Yu Donglou thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Okay, I agree!" However, I have already contacted the authors of several works such as "The Third Dragon of Datang", "Datang 1981", "Datang Dugu Phoenix" and so on. They are also willing to hand over the work to Wansheng Publishing, and hereby hope that you will authorize and approve it! The 1% royalty of these fanworks will definitely be paid in full! ”

"Well, count you as having an eye!" Zhang Shaojie smiled.

Zhang Shaojie has also read these fanworks of "The Tang Dynasty", and they are all written relatively well, and on the basis of the original work, he has developed some of his own characteristics. Even readers who don't know much about the original book can also read these fandoms. This kind of fandom is already a good work.

With Wansheng Publishing House, he took the lead and obtained the authorization of three "Datang" fanworks.

Zhang Shaojie's plan, the "Datang" fandom strategy, began to be officially launched!

Homo works, although they are not Zhang Shaojie's original works, will also increase the cultural influence of the original work of "Datang" by a hundredfold!

The safflower should also be set off with green leaves.

A great work must have at least hundreds of fanworks to be able to demonstrate cultural influence.

It has been more than a week since Zhang Shaojie went to Taiwan ——————————.

In the past week or so, Zhang Shaojie has completed the movie promotion of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty". It is also a communication contact with Taiwanese fan groups.

The establishment of the "Datang" fandom authorization organization also marks that the cultural influence of "Datang" has gradually begun to change from a lonely army in the past to a group army in the cultural field.

The original work of "Datang" is like a general, and the same work is like a large number of soldiers.

A classic masterpiece, coupled with a large number of authorized fans, the influence of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" in the cultural market will surely develop and grow at a faster speed.

In addition to these, Zhang Shaojie accepted a 5% stake in Wansheng Publishing House as a gift from Yu Donglou and became the third largest shareholder of Wansheng, which marked the further enhancement of Zhang Shaojie's influence on Taiwan's publishing industry.

Gu Long, on the other hand, rectified the branch of Taipei Powerlong Film Company and borrowed an interest-free loan of NT$5 million from Wansheng Publishing Company. It is used in Taiwan's Baolong branch to invest in 2~3 small-cost literary films.

Of course, these commercial actions are not the focus of Taiwanese media.

The attention of the entire Taiwanese media at this time was "The Legend of Shuanglong of the Tang Dynasty; Origin" was attracted by the movie.

The movie version of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" was officially released in Taiwan on March 25.

In the first week of release, it achieved NT$9.76 million, which is twice as high as the NT$4.25 million box office of "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Tyrants", which ranked second in the Taiwan box office market!

Although it won the box office championship from the movie "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Tyrants", "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is still not in a dominant position in the box office market.

Because, the classic old movies "Modern Bodyguard", "Ghost Horse Double Star", and "Jingwumen" that are being screened in major cinemas in Taiwan have also won more than 2 million weekly box office.

The box office of 9.76 million is barely in the box office scale of the entire Taiwan box, accounting for only 10% of the market share!

Although in the eyes of many Taiwanese directors, the box office of "Datang" in the first week of release is already an astonishing statistic to look up to.

However, Zhang Shaojie is not satisfied with this one data!

After all, it is a competitor to "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" - either nostalgic old films like "Jingwumen" and "Ghost Horse Double Stars", or "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Tyrants" with an investment scale of only more than 1 million Hong Kong dollars!

And the investment scale of 43 million Hong Kong dollars in "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is a well-deserved giant in front of these movies! If the box office is allocated according to the scale of investment in the film, it is not too much for "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" to monopolize 70% of the box office!

From March 30th.

After entering the second week of the release of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", the box office increased sharply like a triple jump.

As of April 5, the box office data of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" in Taiwan in the second week reached as much as NT$5,700, creating the highest weekly box office record in the history of Chinese films!

In Hong Kong, "Datang" also won the box office for three consecutive weeks, with a total box office of 26.057 million Hong Kong dollars and more than 4 million movie tickets sold.

After achieving such beautiful box office results, the potential of Hong Kong's box office market has been almost tapped.

Therefore, in the third week of its release in Hong Kong, "Datang" only achieved 6.15 million box office data, compared with the data of the previous two weeks, the box office data has shown a significant ebb and flow.

Hong Kong's box office data has passed its peak and is in recession!

The audience in the Taiwan film market has begun to become the main driving force for the box office growth of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty"!

Of course, a blockbuster of the level of "Datang" will definitely not be limited to the Hong Kong and Taiwan markets.

As the distributor of "The Tang Dynasty", Golden Harvest also owns more than 20 cinemas in Singapore, accounting for 40% of the local box office market.

On April 5, the Singapore authorities had approved the movie version of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty".

With unprecedented success in the Hong Kong and Taiwan markets! Zhang Shaojie, Lin Qingxia and other members of the "Datang" crew, the next stop - Singapore!
