Chapter 244: This year is a fat year
Luzhou Studio is the company that operates the copyright of Zhang Tan's novels.
It is also the team that Zhang Tan plans to make his own movies in the future and support himself. Now Luzhou Studio has participated in the screenwriting work of "The Condor Heroes", "The Four Famous Catchers of Kanto", "The Four Famous Catchers of Jingshi", and "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Slayer", and has cultivated its own screenwriting team.
The next step is to participate in the production of more film and television dramas and accumulate experience.
After all, next year, Zhang Tan will create "Dragon Babu" and "Smiling Proud Jianghu", and he will start filming movies.
The production of the "Never Expected" series should be an exercise.
This series of miniseries costs a few bucks.
The script is easier to write, Zhang Tan carefully recalled it in his mind, and then it didn't take three days to write a script for fifteen episodes. The script was handed over to Chen Li and asked Chen Li to tinker with it, and the style can be borrowed from "Low-cost Martial Arts Drama", while Zhang Tan is only named as a producer and producer in the crew.
"In view of the fact that everyone hopes to see more short films similar to "Low-cost Martial Arts Drama", we decided to shoot a series of mini-series "Never Expected", which tells the legend of the grassroots king Sledgehammer and brings a touch of joy to everyone, @庐州工作室, @大锤-Chen Li, @smile Wang Xiaoyu."
Zhang Tan's micro. Bo, released the news in a timely manner, which attracted cheers from netizens.
In the midst of this hustle and bustle, 2005 became history, and New Year's Day in 2006 arrived, which also means that Nortel is going to have a holiday.
Every time it comes to the end of the solar calendar, it is the time for major industries to summarize the harvest.
Zhang Tan is no exception.
2005 was a good year.
"The Condor Heroes" has become popular abroad, and it has become popular in East Asia and Southeast Asia. This is the biggest boost to his fame. Fiction is only disseminated among the readership. Film and television dramas are the real ones that every household can influence.
One "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", one "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Zhang Tan can already imagine that the number of rebroadcasts will not be less, and how much fame it can bring him.
Fame is money, and this is a very intuitive conversion formula.
In a few days, "The Four Famous Capture Kanto" produced by Sonic Pictures will also be broadcast, and this TV series has changed a lot, after all, the plot of the original novel is a little weaker. But with Zhang Tan's fan base now, the ratings should not be difficult to guarantee.
Next summer, the movie "The Four Famous Catchers of Beijing" will also be released.
If it's a box office hit. Zhang Tan's copyrights, I'm afraid the price will increase again.
Even if it can't be a big seller, or if it loses money, it doesn't hurt, because in terms of book sales, Zhang Tan is the undoubted hegemon-level best-selling author in China.
In 2005, Zhang Tan accounted for the top three of the top 20 popular books in the country.
The third place is "The Four Famous Fighting Generals" with a comprehensive sales of 1.8 million copies, and the second place is "Xiao Li Flying Knife" with a comprehensive sales of 2.2 million copies, and the first place is, of course, on the shelves. "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", which set a peak record of 2.4 million single volumes.
Fourth place went to Harry. Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", more than one million copies, and the fifth place is the novel of the same name of this year's popular military drama "Bright Sword", which can break one million copies. Further down are Jia Pingwa's "Qin Cavity", which has less than one million copies, Ming Xiaoxi's "There Will Be Angels to Love You for Me", Yu Hua's "Brothers", Yang Zhijun's "Tibetan Mastiff", etc.
Zhang Tan's sales figures alone. Taken together, it's the sum of the sales of novels by other writers.
His sales figures for this year have accumulated more than 20 million copies! Zhang Tan's novels are all million-word novels. The set is divided into several volumes, published together in simplified and traditional Chinese. The combined sales are, of course, much more terrifying. The royalty share is also high. Now he earns tens of millions of royalties a year.
On New Year's Day, Luzhou Studio posted a year-end summary of the micro. Bo, according to the statistics of the genuine sales of Zhang Tan's novels, the sum of all novels has reached 70 million copies, and there are even more pirated copies.
Among them, the earliest "Four Famous Capture of the Kanto", a total of 800,000 copies were sold, and it has not been reprinted since, but the copyright of the new version has been held in the hands of Sanlian Bookstore, and after the broadcast of TV dramas such as the quasi-book, it will be republished if the response is good.
"The Four Famous Catchers of the Beijing Division" is divided into three volumes, with a single volume selling 1.5 million copies, and a total of 4.5 million copies sold.
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is divided into eight volumes, and after the reprint is six volumes, the single volume sold nearly 2.2 million copies, and a total of 16.5 million copies have been sold.
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is divided into six volumes, and it has been reprinted once, and the sales of a single volume are close to 2.2 million copies, with a total sales of 13 million copies.
"The Four Famous Catchers Against the Cold" is also divided into six volumes, with a single volume selling nearly 1.7 million copies, with a total of 10 million copies sold.
"The Four Famous Fighting Generals" is also divided into six volumes, with a single volume selling nearly 1.8 million copies, with a total of 11 million copies.
"Xiao Li Flying Knife" is divided into three volumes, with a single volume selling 2.2 million copies, and a total of 6.5 million copies.
"Heaven and Dragon Slayer" is divided into six volumes, which is currently the highest sales record for a single volume, but it has not yet been sold, and the fourth volume has just been put on the shelves.
Among these books, "Shooting the Condor" and "Condor" have been reprinted because of the popularity of the TV series, so the sales figures are relatively high, and the other ones have not been reprinted.
Some people estimate that in a few years, Zhang Tan's novels will sell hundreds of millions of dollars and become the king of Chinese writers. Of course, 70 million copies have been sold now, which is still far more than other writers. It's just that everyone is not willing to easily crown a martial arts novel author as a king.
Zhang Tan's novels caused a sensation in the Chinese community, were read all over the world, and sold staggeringly, but in terms of literary honors, they gained very little.
In addition to winning the "2003 Most Popular Writer" award for Chinese literary figures, the award lasted only two years before it was canceled because of the black box operation.
In addition, Zhang Tan is an honor that has not been obtained.
The Lao She Literature Award, Mao Dun Literature Award, and the Chinese Novel Association Award that can participate in the selection of these writers' association and society awards are not even nominated by Zhang Tan. The Chinese Literary Media Award founded by Southern Metropolis Daily nominated Zhang Tan as Novelist of the Year this year, but it did not win.
Everyone recognizes that martial arts novels are a classification of novels, but it is difficult to recognize the literary nature of martial arts novels.
Zhang Tan doesn't care about this, he can see it, martial arts novels are originally just popular novels, and they make money when they are written, so there is no need to package them as any literary masterpieces. Moreover, as time goes on, the novels he writes are destined to become more and more famous, rather than those award-winning works.
At that time, he Zhang Tan is a real great writer, maybe there are still people who want to study "Tan Studies", just like there was a Jin Studies Society in the previous life, Jin Yong's novels have also become a science. Zhang Tan knows how beautiful Jin Yong is, and has been awarded the title of honorary professor by many universities at home and abroad.
The School of Humanities of Zhejiang University also appointed Jin Yong as the dean and postdoctoral supervisor.
After sealing the pen, he can make a lot of money by making academic speeches and exchanges, and you must know that celebrities of his level participate in activities, and the appearance fee is calculated by hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands.
There are a lot of works created by Zhang Tan, but there is only a process of accumulation. He has been famous for a short time, it can be said that he became famous in one book, and he became popular when he said that he was popular.
Wait patiently for a few years, and there will be no less honor to come.
Zhang Tan, who was lying on the rocking chair on the balcony basking in the sun, leisurely tasted tea, and was very satisfied: "This year is a fat year!" (To be continued.) )
PS: Ask for recommended tickets and monthly passes.
It's been quite diligent for a while, since the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, it's been three shifts a day.
