Chapter 737: Leaning towards Tiger Mountain
It was hard to find a book at the signing meeting, and there was a long queue outside the Xidan Book Building, Yang Lin rubbed his wrist, and took the time to use a medical assistant in the system to alleviate the soreness of his wrist. Only in this way will he be able to persevere, and he will always be tenacious in his signature.
Beads of sweat the size of soybeans slowly slid on Yang Lin's face, and he didn't have the time to wipe it at all. Xia Yao's high temperature is testing the fans and their white spoon idols, and this is an extremely difficult war.
His lips were a little cracked, and he looked pale and horrified. Some female fans even took out their own mineral water and wet wipes from their bags, wanting to give him a break. But he shook his head and kindly refused, only when he couldn't stand it anymore, he unscrewed the cap and drank a little water, and he was afraid of drinking too much and going to the toilet, so he always let his lips moisten it.
This shocked the on-site workers, they thought that a superstar like Yang Lin didn't need to be like this at all, so they simply showed up, signed a few casually and then left to avoid the sun.
There are a lot of people who come here to sign sales, and the so-called best-selling authors are not as dedicated as Yang Lin. The parasol above his head was erected, and Yang Lin below the lie was a little cool.
"Do you need to take a break?" He Hong put the electric fan next to Yang Lin's body, which was the limit of what she could do. Considering that Yang Lin will definitely have a lot of fans, there will be so many indoor decorations. In addition, the forecast said that it would be a bad day, so the two sides decided to put the signing meeting on the square as soon as they put it together.
But what they didn't expect happened, the forecast was not accurate at all, and the high temperature of 37 degrees Celsius made many readers who were at the back of the queue give up the opportunity to sign the sale. If you don't have a heat resort, you will get heat stroke when you stand in the sun.
Yang Lin put down the pen in his hand, and he said solemnly: "You go and ask them to prepare more water, send it to the readers in line, and prepare some things like Jindan, Fengyoujing, etc., now you must prevent heat stroke, otherwise it will be troublesome." ”
He Hong smiled and nodded, these are really to be prevented, lest there be a lot of heat stroke incidents at Yang Lin's signing party, then it is not a good thing.
Feeling the care of the idol, Yulin was even more excited, if it weren't for the fact that the jing cordon was set up now, so that the fans who rushed over behind would not line up to sign the sale, it is estimated that Yang Lin would not be able to sign the sale late.
"I'll tell you a bad news, because of the limited time, I can't sign everyone's name, I hope you can forgive me." After Yang Lin finished signing the last sign, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then stood up and bowed deeply to the rainforests that were still holding on to the surrounding rainforest.
This time the signing was quite successful, although only nearly 1,000 were signed, but the impact was considerable. The physical book "33 Lost Love" in a nearby bookstore was sold out, setting a new record. The surrounding bookstores saw the power of Yang Lin, and kept calling the publisher to urge, hoping to seize this opportunity to sell a few more copies.
However, the bad news was also born. The popularity of "33 Lost Love" has attracted the attention of pirates, how can they not get a piece of the pie? In China, pirates have become a cancer in society, and people who have never bought pirated books are embarrassed to say that they are Chinese students.
If the consumer already knows that it is a pirated book before purchasing it, then the pirated book is not directly harmful to the consumer itself. The real harm of piracy is that it infringes on the direct interests of distant publishers, it directly harms the interests of publishers, and if you get used to piracy, then fake becomes a habit, and then it will evolve into a disaster.
In China today, all those who have read books have been exposed to piracy to varying degrees, and some have even become loyal fans of piracy, and they do not buy non-pirated copies. From primary and secondary school textbooks to university teaching aids, from examination papers to city maps, from so-called "internal materials" to various training materials, as long as there is a sale, all kinds of books will be pirated without exception. Readers have only two requirements for piracy: the price is low and does not affect the reading effect. In the case of almost the same reading effect, a novel is 30 yuan for the genuine version and 5 yuan for the pirated version, which one will readers buy? The results are obvious. The general reader's requirements for the quality of books are not as good as those of food and medicine, as long as they are suitable for reading, there is a market. As consumers, there's nothing wrong with their white spoon choice.
"33 Lost Love" has only been on the market for less than a week, but pirated books have been born, with exactly the same cover and the same binding, and many pirated books are mixed in the genuine books and are undetectable. Many readers have unknowingly bought pirated books, which makes Yang Lin very depressed.
He has formed an indissoluble bond with pirates all his life. When they release records, they pirate; When making a movie, they went to the cinema to record the TC version, and when the CD of the movie was released, it was still pirated; Now that novels are written, they are still pirating.
There are quite a few reasons for piracy, and one of the most important reasons is the high price of genuine books. For many students who are shy in their pockets, a set of genuine judicial examination textbooks costs 300 yuan, while pirated textbooks that are made and printed after scanning the original can be won for 150 yuan. A complete set of "Harry Potter" novels may cost a few hundred yuan, but pirated novels only cost one-third or less of the original price, which gives a lot of loopholes.
However, the most important point is that the copyright management department is not strict in law enforcement, local protectionism is serious, and piracy in many places has formed a complete industrial chain, with tens of billions of pirate income every year, which is a large expense. China's land has always nurtured the seeds of piracy, in the United States, a book is quite expensive, but there are only a handful of people who dare to pirate, and they have a sense of genuineness, which is one aspect, and more importantly, the federal zhèngfu is very strict in the supervision of book piracy, and the punishment is very heavy.
Every year, the National Anti-Pornography and Anti-Illegal Publications Office takes great pains to hold anti-piracy activities, but the "storm" set off in Zhongyāng becomes a "gentle drizzle" in the provincial capital, and then into a "drizzle" in prefecture-level cities.
Yang Lin is deeply affected by piracy, and every year he emphasizes supporting genuine and opposing piracy, but with little effect. If there are enough interests, there will be a dare to take risks.
"Taicang is a little crazy, right? Now there are so many pirated books on the market all at once, it's just a lot of abuse! Yang Lin slapped the table hard, shaking the coffee on it and spilling it to the side, forming spots. His face was swollen and red, and his chest was heaved together, trying to calm his mood and breathe.
Yang Fan shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said, "You also know that this is reality, and we can't change it." With only our white spoon power, do you think we can fight piracy? If you use zhèngfu, isn't that a way to cut off the family's wealth? With tens of billions of income, don't be crazy about dreaming, let's just take the lead a little bit. ”
He is also very helpless about such a thing, there is no way at all, except to tear his throat and call on his fans to support the genuine version, there is really nothing to do!
"No, we can make it bigger. We can unite many celebrities and best-selling authors to organize an event in the name of the World Intellectual Property Organization. That might be more influential, what do you think? Yang Lin stood up excitedly, his expression was flying, and there was a hint of joy between his eyebrows.
didn't want to hit his positive xing, but Yang Fan still had to tell the truth: "Your idea is very good, but the reality is very cruel." Cracking down on piracy is naturally a good thing, but this is something that offends you, do you think everyone in the entertainment industry is a fool? It's good to shout twice once in a while against piracy, if it were really that simple, those sleek entry would have been done a long time ago, would you have to wait for you? If you send out an invitation, there may be a response, but almost all of them are your friends, or they are not aware of the reality. ”
Yang Lin glared at him with some dissatisfaction, and said, "Have you ever done such a thing?" ”
"No, no one is stupid enough to fight against piracy syndicates. There must be all kinds of umbrellas behind the piracy syndicates, and if you want to move them, you have to fight against the people behind them. Those who are qualified to be the umbrella are at least the leaders of one party or even zhongyāng, what do you do to fight with others? Yang Fan is very worried about what Yang Lin will do, the entertainment industry looks glamorous, but in fact it is nothing, and anyone with a little power can dictate to the entertainment industry.
"How do you know it won't work if you haven't tried it? This kind of thing will only get worse because there is no entry and exit. This is no longer a matter for me to enter, admittedly, it violates my interests, but it also needs to be brought out. I don't expect to be able to wipe out piracy, I just hope it doesn't run rampant. As long as one less pirate can be seen, it is a victory. ”
His tone was very firm, this was a rare time for him to persevere, once he made up his mind, then the nine cows would not be able to pull him back. After so many years of piracy, his patience has been exhausted, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, and he prefers to go to the tiger mountains!
Yang Fan stared into his eyes for a long time, and finally said: "Okay, I'll let you contact all the stars now, but you have to be prepared, it may be bleak." Then I'll go and see which best-selling authors can help out. ”
