Chapter 218: Marketing Number
The middle volume of "Xiao Li Flying Knife" sold 1.6 million copies in one month, and the first volume of "Xiao Li Flying Knife" has reached 2.3 million copies in two months. This is an incomparably amazing number, a new height in martial arts fiction.
In view of the excellent results of "Xiao Li Flying Knife", the battle for the copyright of this novel is also going crazy.
However, all of this is managed by a professional copyright operation company, Luzhou Studio, with Li Yan in charge of the overall situation, and Zhang Tan's parents in charge of assisting in the management and supervising the finances. Everything is running in an orderly manner, and there is no need for Zhang Tan to worry about it, but the money that should be earned is not a lot.
In Zhang Tan created the micro. After the Bo, Luzhou Studio was also the first time to register the marketing account of Blue V's "Luzhou Studio", and Zhou Nan, who was originally Zhang Tan's personal editor and current director of the studio's screenwriting, was personally responsible for the micro. Publicity work of Bo marketing account.
After consulting Zhang Tan and Li Yan's opinions, Zhou Nan brushed the micro. Bo is very diligent.
"Unknowingly, Tan Zhang has been writing novels for almost four years, and has published seven novels, "The Four Famous Catchers of Kanto", "The Four Famous Catchers of Beijing", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Condor Heroes", "The Four Famous Catchers Against the Cold", "The Four Famous Catchers and Fighting Generals", and "Xiao Li Flying Knife", with a total of 5.25 million words."
"Since the first "Four Famous Capture of Kanto", Tan Zhang's novels have been published in traditional and simplified Chinese versions, and the sales have been very good, and the reviews have also been very good. The readership is divided into the entire Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, as well as East Asia, Southeast Asia, and most of the overseas Chinese areas. ”
"In many countries, pirated novels have been found in translated languages. At present, the genuine version has not been authorized to countries outside of China. However, the studio has been negotiating with foreign publishers about the publication of genuine editions, and has already negotiated with Tokuma Publishing House, the largest publishing house in Japan. The other party will organize a group of sinologists to translate. Published "The Complete Works of Tan Zhang". ”
Zhou Nan's micro. Bo, most of them are introducing the achievements of Zhang Tan's novels.
The more brilliant the achievement. The greater Zhang Tan's influence, the more readers worship Zhang Tan invisibly, and eventually become a die-hard fan. Moreover, the expansion of influence is directly linked to the income of various adaptation copyrights, and the more influential they are, the more willing others will be to spend money to buy copyrights.
In addition to the specific earning ability, which needs to be vague, the achievements of Zhang Tan's novels are all real data.
The more real the data. The more he seems to be capable, unlike others who do propaganda, he is always vague.
Now Zhang Tan's seven novels, except for "General Dou" and "Xiao Li Flying Knife", which have just been put on the shelves, the other five have all undergone various copyright developments.
The most basic is Simplified and Traditional Chinese publishing.
Chinese who can speak Chinese and inherit Chinese culture are undoubtedly the largest readership of martial arts novels, and Chinese people are all over the world, and Zhang Tan's novels have also been transferred to the world.
But except for the simplified and traditional Chinese versions of Chinese. There is no genuine translation of Zhang Tan's novel in other languages. On the one hand, Zhang Tan's rise is too fast, and in less than four years, he has become popular all over Asia. After "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was made into a TV series. It's only been less than a year since Dahong.
Publishing houses in many countries didn't react at all, even if they did. This is only the beginning of the initial contact.
The fastest progress is made in Japan, where Tokuma Publishing is one of the largest publishing houses in Japan. Tokuma Yasukuai was founded, focusing on entertainment. It also has a Studio Ghibli that has released many animated films. In Japan, the influence and distribution channels are very strong.
The current president, Takeyoshi Matsushita, is very interested in Zhang Tan's martial arts novels, and his sincerity is also very good, so the negotiations are progressing quickly and have reached the final signing stage.
Outside of Japan, things aren't going very well.
There are two main reasons, one is the publication of Western countries, given the different cultures, the audience of martial arts novels is limited, and the translation is also difficult to carry out. Oxford University Press has invited scholars in the Chinese language to try to translate "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", but the result is difficult to predict.
Another is the country in Asia, because they are all Chinese cultural circles, they are very familiar with martial arts, and it is not difficult to translate, but it is difficult to solve the problem of piracy.
China is a copycat country, piracy is rampant, and foreign countries are similar.
In South Korea, Zhang Tan's novels are known to have been pirated by 12 publishing houses, and the fact that there are so many pirated publishers is enough to show the popularity of the novel in South Korea. It's a pity that it's a good thing to be popular, but piracy is not a good thing, there are too many pirated copies, and the genuine publishing house has no profit anymore, so the negotiations are not active.
In addition, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Cambodia, and Malaysia in Southeast Asia have pirated translations in local languages.
Luzhou Studio is now actively exploring the legitimate publishing of these languages, although it has won the genuine publication, and it doesn't make much money, but the meat on the legs of the text is also meat.
If you pick up a watermelon, you can't throw away the sesame seeds.
Zhou Nan in Wei. Bo marketing account, published micro. Bo and many more.

In fact, the story takes place a hundred years later, and history has reached the Yuan Dynasty, but it has a lot to do with the first two parts. Guo Xiang, who everyone likes, will be very powerful! ”

"The creation cycle of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" will take about six months, and the plan is 1.2 million words, and we will be able to meet you after the New Year."
Because it was a sequel, the copyright was snatched up early.
This is the treatment of a real great writer, and when he drafted a book title, he made an unknown amount of money. (To be continued.) )
