In March, the grandest event in the literary world of the Chinese Empire was naturally the release and listing of the first batch of foreign exchange works this year.

This batch of external projects is nearly 30 works by 10 writers.

Among them, Su Wen is the youngest writer, nineteen years old and less than twenty years old, which can be said to have set an unprecedented record. With the scale of two billion people and millions of writers in the Chinese Empire, there has never been a shortage of talented writers in the literary world, and it is estimated that it is also a miracle that has never been seen again.

Moreover, he has two works on the list, although not the most writers in the same batch, but it is much better than those who have only one work squeezed into the foreign exchange program.

This situation has stimulated many people, media platforms, writers and readers, to publish their opinions.

Many people are not optimistic about what Su Wen's works can achieve abroad, after all, he has no foundation abroad, and even in the domestic literary circle, it has only just emerged for a year, the readership base is quite small, and his fame cannot be spread to the Chinese community abroad, and it is difficult to get the Chinese to support it.

What hasn't happened yet can only be predicted, and no one can say for sure.

No matter what others say, whether it is criticism or praise, Su Wen always maintains an expectant mentality, only he knows the potential of "Romeo and Juliet" to be popular all over the world, and only he knows how touching the fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Grimm and others are.

Of course, even if he is confident, his external works have just been listed abroad, and if he wants the results to be fed back, it will take a while.

While looking forward to it, he has a lot of things to deal with.

At the end of March, Concubine Bai Luo gave him the news, saying that the filming of the "Romeo and Juliet" movie had been completed and was ready to be transferred to post-production.

Concubine Bai Luo asked Su Wen to make relevant preparations.

At the same time, Qin Hong also called Su Wen, saying that the production of "Thunderstorm" was quite smooth, after all, it was only a literary film, and there were not many big scenes, although it was much later than Luo Zhu's production, but it is estimated that it will be completed by mid-April.

If everything goes well, "Thunderstorm" can also be released in May and June.

Of course, as for Su Wen's previous proposal that his two works be released at the same time, thus forming a hype gimmick and causing a sensation, Qin Hong said that the producer and distributor are considering this possibility.

It was originally unlikely, after all, Su Wen was just a newcomer in the literary world, and his proposal was not yet likely to be taken seriously. However, in the past six months, Su Wen's fame in the literary world has skyrocketed, almost catching up with those big names in the literary world, and then a turning point has appeared.

In particular, Su Wen has extraordinary appeal among young people, and now in addition to his works being selected for textbooks, he has also entered the eyes of the imperial high-level, and his works have participated in foreign projects, and his influence has risen to a high height.

It can be said that this year, the most prominent person in the literary world is none other than Su Wen!

For such a person who has room for hype, how can his works not be a sensation when they are made into movies and released at the same time?

What the movie wants is the eyeball effect, and with the sensational effect, the box office will naturally not be a problem. No one will have trouble with money, so the filmmakers carefully considered Su Wen's proposal and began to plan the matter.

These can only be said to be future plans, and the most relevant thing with Su Wen at present is the announcement by Matrix Culture Company that the physical book of Su Wen's drama masterpiece "Thunderstorm" will go on sale on April 1.

This drama has been on the market for almost half a year, except for the few performances in the drama ring, everyone can only hear its name but not see it, many readers are very curious about it and look forward to it, especially the comments of Wang Wang and others, almost regard "Thunderstorm" as one of the classic masterpieces in China, and it tickles the hearts of many readers.

After the copyright of this work was won by Matrix Culture Company, it has been rumored to go through various publishing processes, and half a year later, it is finally available!

Matrix Culture Company is worthy of being the top book distribution company in China, and it has made a big splash as soon as it comes up to publicize, especially inviting many literary giants to help stand on the platform and shout, blowing "Thunderstorm" into a classic drama that Chinese people have to watch.

The momentum came together, coupled with their strong operational capabilities and strong distribution capabilities, they were listed nationwide simultaneously as soon as they came up, claiming to let the two billion people appreciate the charm of the genius writer Su Wen for the first time.

The results are also very gratifying, only half a month after being listed, Matrix Culture announced that the first batch of five million copies were sold out!

Sure enough, it is a big company and a big group, and the distribution energy is strong, selling five million copies in half a month, and selling tens of millions of copies of top writers' works a year, which is not top-notch, but absolutely amazing.

According to this situation, 7 million copies can be sold in a month, and definitely more than 10 million copies in three months!

This is better than Su Wen's previous best book sales.

10 million copies a quarter, if the market operates better, 20 million copies in a year, is the minimum data.

This is definitely a major achievement in the drama industry for today's situation where dramas are becoming popular and dramas are gradually declining, catching up with best-selling gods such as Wang Wang and Xie Kun.

If you dare to imagine a better one, 30 million copies is not a dream......

Yo, it's exciting to think about.

Taking advantage of the east wind of Su Wen's main literary scene in April, Fang Chengshi and others, who were in Yuezhou, were not willing to be lonely and jumped out, announcing that Su Wen's strongest new drama "The Prince's Revenge" will be released in early May.

This time, they were not afraid of losing money, and after two or three months of working day and night, the first batch of 5 million copies was printed, and they planned to put all of them on the market.

At this lively moment, Yuezhou's Fresh Culture Company also announced that after nearly a year of hard work, the sales of the book "Romeo and Juliet" finally exceeded 10 million copies!

In addition, the Yuezhou branch of Matrix Culture Company also took advantage of this shareholder trend to announce that the sales of Su Wen's old work "A Doll's House" had just broken 10 million copies.

The shocking sales figures were announced one by one, which was overwhelming and really scared many people!

The two works of Luo Zhu and the Doll have been on the market for less than a year, and they are also called old works, and they have exceeded 10 million copies, that is to say, Su Wen is already a writer who has sold more than 10 million copies a year!

It was a watershed moment.

Ten million is a criterion and a representative of best-selling.

And according to the current situation, "Thunderstorm" will exceed 20 million copies in a year, or even higher; Although "The Prince's Revenge" is distributed by a small publishing company, it has a considerable prospect of entering the foreign exchange project, with 10 million being guaranteed and 20 million being expected.

10 million in the first year of debut, 20 million in the second year, such a sales increase, it is simply terrifying!

Everyone said that they had never seen such a fierce literary newcomer writer!

Although Su Wen can't become the best-selling author yet, the sales increase is definitely the first.

"Sure enough, he is worthy of being the first day talent of the young generation in the literary world, and his strength is amazing!"

""Thunderstorm" is really shocking, and I have been obsessed with Su Wen since then."

"The prince is the best, right? Long live Reiter! Long live Suwen! ”

Suddenly promoted to a best-selling writer and has countless fans, various cultural companies have a higher desire for Su Wen, especially the film and television companies that are about to face the adaptation of Su Wen's two works, and they treat him as a sweet tooth and contact him enthusiastically, and they all want to get the film and television rights of Su Wen's other works.

With competition, the prices offered have broken through the sky, not to mention the tense drama of "The Prince's Revenge", and even the niche theme of "A Doll's House" was sold by Su Wen at a sky-high price.

His net worth, with the big sales of books and the operation of copyrights, has been rapidly upgraded from more than 10 million Chinese yuan, 20 million, 30 million, 40 million......

A representative who became a billionaire by writing books is about to be born again.

Everyone is convinced that this day will come soon, especially when Su Wen is still young, and his creative passion and desire are at their peak, and the quantity and quality of future works are guaranteed.

Then, his value is more and more incalculable.

I don't know if it's because of the stimulation of high-priced film and television operations, Su Wen saw the prospect of the plot story and regained his strength, and he "translated" some of the ghost stories he had created before into classical Chinese.

The classical Chinese stories that he named the "Liao Zhai" series really appeared in front of the world.

In addition to the previous articles such as "Ying Ning" and "Nie Xiaoqian", Su Wen rewrote the stories that were previously published in the newspaper and republished them again in the form of ancient texts.

"Kyoto Life Daily" has made a lot of money, this is simply a story with two ways to write twice, which is equivalent to a commodity being sold twice, and it is not too easy to make money, and it is almost refreshing.

This was between June and July, and it took Su Wen about two months to complete it.

Yes, he finally has the confidence to become a "master of classical Chinese", stretching out his claws to Pu Songling, copying all the original works, and making him a literary giant that is difficult for the world to surpass!

If plays, fairy tales, ghost stories, and poems can be written by ordinary people - there are many people who can complete ancient poems, but they have to be written into classical Chinese, and they still have a very high level, and there are dozens of them in a row, then, looking at the entire Chinese Empire, no writer dares to say that he can do it so beautifully!

Not good writers, not so good are experts and professors who study ancient texts!

The more things that others can't do, the higher the status of this person can naturally be imagined.

As soon as the classical Chinese "Liao Zhai" series came out, Su Wen gradually became a giant among writers from a genius writer, and no one dared to question his ability anymore.

His ability and fame are no longer inferior to any writer, and the gap between him and the top few people in the imperial literary world is mainly reflected in sales.

A new work of those great gods often sells tens of millions of sales, and after decades of accumulation, the sales volume is calculated in 100 million, and Su Wen still has a way to catch up in this regard.

But everyone can see his prospects.

Everyone believed that if Su Wen was given a few more years, he would definitely be able to reach the top selling group of writers in the imperial literary circle.

There are many years and all kinds of theories.

Some say within three years, some say about five years, some say seven or eight years, or even within ten years.

Even if it's ten years, that's very amazing, after all, Su Wen is still young, and he will only be thirty years old at that time, and he will still have more than ten years less than those top writers.

However, no one expected that they still underestimated Su Wen, to be exact, the energy of his works.

After the serialization of "Liao Zhai" was completed, many readers guessed what type of subject Su Wen's new work was, and some news from abroad surprised everyone-

Su Wen's works "Romeo and Juliet" and "Little Silk Wanderings" have opened up foreign markets!

The former is a very thin play, because it is a foreign exchange work, there is a state subsidy, so the price in foreign markets is not high, the American market is only five dollars, and the European market is only priced at five euros.

The latter is a collection of Suwen fairy tales, considering that the foreign market is more likely to accept the form of "Wanderings", or "Little Silk Wanderings" as the main theme, directly named after it, followed by "Snow White", "The Ugly Duckling" and other fairy tales.

There are many Chinese in this world, like the Americas, and the northwest of North America is almost a place where Chinese gather, but it was also a colony of the Chinese Empire at that time, and its status was not high.

Therefore, in the Americas, although Chinese and English have the same status, their ideas are more European, which is the biggest reason why Chinese culture has not been popular here in recent years. This is especially true in the European region.

The Chinese Empire's foreign exchange works mainly passed through these two regions, with national power as the background, and Su Wen's works were able to be spread out in these two regions as soon as they came up.

At first, the first thing that attracted attention was the "Little Silk Wanderings" in the Americas, which had no long history, did not pay much attention to the complex background stories, they lived a richer and more open life, and paid more attention to the education of their offspring, so excellent fairy tales were able to enter the eyes of local parents.

If it's just a roaming story, they won't necessarily spread it to each other, but this is a call record, which includes classic fairy tales such as "Snow White", "Cinderella", "The Ugly Duckling", "The Emperor's New Clothes" and so on, which are "borrowed" by Su Wen, and its charm is unstoppable.

The first issue of the Chinese Empire, which released 1 million copies of "Little Silk Wanderings" in the Americas, sold only 50,000 copies in March.

You must know that this is the power of a country that operates a market that covers almost all the big cities in North America, and in nearly a month, only 50,000 copies have been sold, which can be said to be extremely poor.

Just when even the staff of the Ministry of Culture of the Chinese Empire thought that this book was going to be pounced, the sales data in April came back to the Su Wen fairy tale and sold 100,000 copies in a month!

Double the amount from last month!

In May, 300,000 copies were sold, three times as many as in April!

After three months, it was about 500,000 copies sold, and there were still no surprises in the data, which was not outstanding among the foreign exchange works of the Chinese Empire.

However, the growth rate is staggering!

No one can ignore this exponential increase in sales every month, and the staff of the Ministry of Culture hurriedly conducted a relevant survey of the market, and found that the reputation of this fairy tale book is excellent, and almost everyone who has read it has praised it and strongly recommended it to the people around him.

Many children who read the story put terms such as "Snow White", "Cinderella" and "Ugly Duckling" in their mouths all day long, which caused more questions from children and attracted the attention of many parents.

On the premise of a wonderful story, there is attention and word of mouth, and there will naturally be an eyeball effect, and the market demand will also be greatly improved.

Knowing this situation, the staff of the Ministry of Culture in the Americas increased their publicity efforts for "Little Silk Wanderings" and put more energy into the market.

Obviously, throughout June, "Little Silk Wanderings" was in short supply in the Americas, and all the 1 million copies released in the early stage were sold out, and the Ministry of Culture urgently dropped another million copies from the warehouse and put them on the market. However, in July, demand was still tight.

The staff of the Imperial Ministry of Culture increased their horsepower and worked hard to operate this fairy tale book, and by July, after careful calculation, "Little Silk Wanderings" sold three million copies!

This almost sold out the first batch of "Little Silk Adventures" that could be put on the American market, and the sales are growing at a double rate every month!

Although it is not the best sales of Chinese imperial writers abroad - Wang Tianming has been operating abroad for several years, and there are no books that sell tens of millions of copies, but it is not a problem for new books to sell millions of copies, all of them add up, and the sales are still amazing.

However, three million is not the final figure, looking at the market demand, there is still a lot of potential to be tapped.

Let's take a look at what those readers in the Americas have to say about "Little Silk's Wanderings":

"This is the best fairy tale I've ever seen, not to mention that my daughter likes it, even I, a mother, can't put it down!"

"There's no more such a favorite fairy tale character as Snow White......"

"What else can I say, I also like to be that little princess who can drill down the rabbit hole! My daughter has already turned over all the holes near our house to see if she can get into them. ”

"Classic fairy tales, made in China! A cutting-edge Chinese writer makes people have to admire his imagination. Writers of the Americas, are you ashamed? ”

"I don't know if you have noticed, the author of this little silk wanderings has another work on the market, which is a play, called "Romeo and Juliet", a very classic love story......"

"Little Silk Wanderings" is popular in North America, and Su Wen is also popular!

By August, in just half a year, the book had sold five million copies in North America!

This is the extremely excellent achievement of Chinese writers in the American market in recent years, catching up with Wang Tianming, who has been operating in the Americas for several years, and there is no other writer comparable to Su Wen.

And looking at the popularity of Roaming, coupled with the word-of-mouth in North America, the two effects are superimposed on each other, and it is foreseeable that there is still a lot of room for growth in sales, especially with the spread of word-of-mouth, after winning North America, South America is not a problem, and Europe can also be expected!

When the news came back to China in September, most of the media and readers were excited.

"This is the biggest harvest of Chinese culture in the past ten years!"

"Finally, in addition to Wang Tianming and the poets of the older generation, we can finally have contemporary works in China that sell well in Europe and the United States!"

"Su Wen is Su Wen, young and energetic, this is the rhythm of dominating foreign countries. With foreign markets, is domestic hegemony still far away? ”

"It's only five million, do you need to be so excited? Besides, it's just a fairy tale, not a representative of our Chinese culture! ”

"Upstairs silly hat! People have less than five million in half a year, how much is it in a year? The sales of fairy tales can be stable at one data for several years. So, isn't tens of millions also fast? When you become famous, are you afraid that other works will not sell? ”

"It seems that I said before that Su Wen could catch up with the footsteps of the first person in the literary world within ten years, and if this continues, he will be able to do it in three or five years!"

The brother above soon discovered that his statement of three or five years was about to be overturned.

At the time of the North American popularity of "Little Silk Adventures", "Romeo and Juliet" also proved its strength in the European market.

At the beginning, it was the same treatment as Wanderings, but the first month or two was only a sales volume of tens of thousands of copies, and it was not a hit. But when several European universities rehearsed the play for the public in the third month, the situation changed dramatically.

The college students are crazy about this classic love story, everyone wants to be Romeo or Juliet, and everyone longs to meet Romeo or Juliet.

College students are the most able to drive a trend, and they love the story of Luo Zhu, and it is natural that they will pursue the original version of this story.

As a result, the play "Romeo and Juliet" has a market demand, and this play is also popular in Europe.

Three months later, Luo Zhu's sales were even more exaggerated than the increase in Wanderings, and it only took three months, that is, half a year after the first launch, to sell more than 8 million copies!

By the end of the year, the two books had sold more than 10 million copies in North America and Europe, respectively, and the two books also influenced each other, driving the sales of the two books in various places.

Rojo's sales in North America are also rising, and Roamings is even more popular with European children, making a great contribution to sales.

In less than a year, excluding the Chinese cultural circle in Asia, Su Wen's two books have sold 15 million in Europe and the United States!

At this moment, Wang Tianming is also kneeling, he has been in business for so many years, and there is no book in Europe and the United States that has this sales record!

The cultural people and readers in China were even more stunned, and no one could have imagined the arrival of this day.

is full of calculations, Su Wen has only debuted for two years, and he has achieved results that Wang Tianming can't do?

Is there anything more exaggerated than that?

"This is going against the rhythm of the sky!"

"My great talent Su is really powerful, Wang Tianming has done it for him."

It is said that the flowers bloom inside the wall and the fragrance outside the wall, and then everyone remembers that compared with Su Wen's popularity abroad, the pace of foreign markets is a little sluggish.

In recent years, China has a tradition of exporting to domestic sales, and foreign countries have made achievements, and the Chinese people will be deeply encouraged and feel honored, and they will naturally love this person who has made achievements.

Needless to say, the news of the big sales of Su Wen's works abroad stimulated the domestic market in China, and all his works were positively affected, and even the poetry collection "If Life Is Only as First Seen" sold millions of copies in half a year.

After that, even the Spring and Autumn Publishing House shouted the slogan of going out of China and entering the Asian cultural circle, shouting that it would sell Su Wen's works to every corner of the world.

When Wanderings and Luo Zhu exceeded 10 million copies in Europe and the United States, the people from the Ministry of Culture woke up and shouted at Vice Minister Wen Donglai for wisdom, and at the same time urgently contacted Su Wen, asking him to hand over more copyrights of his works to the Ministry of Culture and promote them to Europe and the United States.

Su Wen thought about it again and again, and sent the plays "The Prince's Revenge", "A Doll's House" and "Thunderstorm" one by one, and promised to increase the creation of this aspect and strive to create a peak abroad.

When these plays were produced and sent to Europe and the United States for sale, Su Wen thought to himself that "Hamlet" had been drummed up, so let's continue to be sorry for Shakespeare, how to say that the "four tragedies" must be made.

As a result, classic works such as "King Lear" and "Othello" appeared in this world one after another with a Chinese background under the "adaptation" of Su Wen.

Chinese people don't like tragedies very much, but once these plays were released, they swept the entire European and American markets, and Su Wen was also called "the little prince of tragedy" by readers there.

In the following year, the whole of Europe and China was immersed in the tragic atmosphere of "creation" by the Soviet Union. In this year, Wang Wanggan bowed down and said that Su Wen was the real master of dramatization, and he was ashamed of himself.

Even Xie Kun, who had not dealt with Su Wen before, could only smile bitterly when the reporter interviewed and commented on Su Wen, saying that the future was terrifying.

He really can't be compared. In the domestic market, after three years of development, Su Wen's plays, especially Luo Zhu's book, have reached 50 million sales.

With sales of 50 million copies, Xie Kun reached this height when he was at his most prosperous, and the domestic and Asian markets reached this height.

But Su Wen has reached this number in domestic sales alone, counting Asia, and giving some time to operate, hundreds of millions is not a problem.

These Chinese writers can only cross the Chinese cultural circle, and when they go to Europe and the United States, they are even dwarfed by Su Wen.

In two years, Luo Zhu sold 40 million copies in Europe and the United States!

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the first person in China. Wang Tianming is in front of him, and he must also bow down!

Comparable to Luo Zhu is Su Wen's "Little Silk Wanderings", who has become the most admired writer of almost all children. There are also works such as "The Prince's Revenge", which have also exploded in the European and American markets, exceeding 10 million copies.

It can be said that Su Wen is the most well-known Chinese writer in Europe and the United States in recent decades. For the Chinese literary circle, they only recognize Su Wen as a person.

In the following three years, Su Wen consolidated his position in the literary world and market positioning, while exploring the market for other themes.

After receiving the title of the tragic little prince, he temporarily stopped writing plays and began to dabble in the field.

An adaptation of Kafka's Metamorphosis has left many readers with swollen eyes from tears; A "School of Witchcraft and Wizardry" with Harry Potter at its core continues to cement his position as the king of children; In addition, he was energetic, and at a rare speed, he drummed up the emperor's masterpiece "The Lord of the Rings", and even rumored that he was going to write "A Song of Ice and Fire".

In view of Su Wen's achievements at home and abroad, he graduated from Huaxia Academy of Literature with a master's degree in this year, and at the invitation of the Faculty of Letters, he was honored to become an associate professor of creative drama in the Faculty of Letters, and was the youngest professor in the college.

Since then, his title has been added to the title of "Professor Su".

In the following two years, Su Wen had a wider range of interests and created more types of works, and wrote two versions of the detective "Sherlock Holmes", one European and American, and the other Chinese, becoming the most intelligent writer in the eyes of detective fans. In Huaxia, people who knew him well also heard that he was preparing to create the most Chinese-flavored martial arts......

In short, in the eyes of many people, Su Wen is an all-round writer who can do anything, everything he writes is a classic, and everything he writes is very popular.

When he was twenty-six years old, there was no writer in the market who could compare with him, not only at home but also abroad!

The sales of his works are the highest ever recorded for human data; Although his wealth is not the first in the world, the value he represents is incomparable!

It was also in this year that the world's three major literary awards, such as the Chinese Royal Literary Scholar, were awarded the highest honors to him one after another.

He is also the first person to collect the world's three major literary awards! And it was obtained in the same year, which is unprecedented and estimated to be unprecedented!

said that he is the leader of the world literary circle, even if there are still people who oppose it, there are not many.

At the age of twenty-six, it took only eight years for Su Wen to reach the peak and become the world's No. 1 cultural giant. And he will never admit that he is going to stop at this peak, because he still has a long way to go, and there are countless classics in his mind......
