"Teacher Xiqiu, I heard that you have been making a micro-movie recently, and you haven't forgotten my old friend in your busy schedule, it's really an honor." Sitting inside the café, Jonathan was smiling.

Zhang Qiuxi said: "If you don't come to me, no matter how busy you are, only I will look for you." I thought you were going back to the United States, but it turned out that you were still in the Celestial Empire, which is a lot more convenient. ”

Jonathan said: "I just came here, and recently translated a few works by other writers of the Celestial Empire, but the sales are still as bad as ever." Mr. Xiqiu's success in the international market is envied by many people, but others are still shortcomings except for you. ”

"Even so, you are ignoring it, okay, Detective Di Renjie has now published two volumes, but you still haven't heard from you at all, I thought you had lost interest."

In "Light Dance and Flying", the character played by Shangguan Jin wanted to be an actor, but in the end, his dream was broken and he left in the cruel reality, and after saying goodbye, Zhang Qiuxi still worked hard for his dream, and it was at this time that he met Yang Jie.

The two participated in the talent show together, Hongdou played a judge, and Li Yue first passed the addiction of a real host and played the host of the talent show. She herself studied this major, and the role can be said to be tailor-made, and under the "hosting" of her major, it has also added a lot to the work.

However, they and Zhang Qiuxi don't have any "passion plays", after all, the time for micro-movies is also limited, and this kind of scene cannot be arranged for the sake of arrangement, so Zhang Qiuxi can only give up the idea of collecting stamps in micro-films. This is already good, Ye Qingqing's role is mainly on Yang Jie's side, and she doesn't even play against her.

The supporting roles are originally the appearance of the flowers, only the protagonist is eternal, Ye Qingqing and they don't care about the number of scenes, if they are really the protagonists, they may not be competent, after all, they are all amateurs.

After a month of busy work, the filming finally ended, Youshi first asked to make a film as publicity, and now everyone knows that Zhang Qiuxi and they made a micro-movie, which has caused heated discussions on the Internet, just wait to see what it is.

It will probably take a month or two for the post-production zuò, which is still the result of entrusting a special team, if you continue to let the DV club come to the grass stage team, it is difficult to say how much time it will take, and the level may not be able to meet the requirements of micro-films.

After dubbing and recording the song, Zhang Qiuxi kicked Yang Jie to do work such as soundtrack, and he finally pulled out, and then contacted Jonathan, who he hadn't seen for a long time, as soon as possible. It's certainly not for the sake of affection, but for the sake of publication.

"Why, we've been watching you." Jonathan then smiled and said, "Otherwise, how could I have only arrived in the Celestial Empire to know that you have made a micro-movie, including the fact that Detective Di Renjie has published two volumes." ”

"In the past, you were very busy, but now you know and don't mean anything, does it mean that your company is not interested in Detective Di Renjie?" Zhang Qiuxi rubbed his forehead, if this is the case, it is really a bit troublesome.

Jonathan put away his smile, sat upright and said, "It's not that I'm not interested, the reason why it's been delayed for so long is because the company is weighing it." After all, this is a story set in the history of the Celestial Empire, and most of the people in the United States do not know much about the history of the Celestial Empire, except for some professional people. ”

Businessmen, no profit can not get up, no good things will definitely not be done, Acewell company's worries are also understandable, Zhang Qiuxi said: "I think it is precisely because Americans do not know much about the history of the Celestial Empire, so it can make them more curious, how to say that I also have a little appeal now, and I can also raise the interest of American readers, right?" ”

Most of the original "The Case of Di Gong of the Tang Dynasty" was written in English, and it was first published in Europe and the United States, and it also caused considerable repercussions after its publication. This set of books by Dutch foreigners has been translated into more than a dozen languages and has been included in the required reading list of the University of Chicago, which is also a remarkable achievement.

It is because of this that Zhang Qiuxi thought about seeking overseas publishing, since the original version can do this, she should not have a problem copying it, and she has never dropped the chain in this regard before.

"There is no doubt about the appeal of Mr. Xiqiu, which is also one of the factors for the company to weigh whether to make this book." Jonathan didn't beat around the bush, and said all the ideas of Acewell Company very frankly, and continued: "So the company is still not very optimistic about Detective Di Renjie's overseas sales. ”

"So you don't plan to publish it?" Zhang Qiuxi frowned, it was reasonable for Eswell not to publish, but this was obviously not good news for her, so could she only give up?

"No, no, no." Jonathan hurriedly waved his hand, and then said: "The company is just not optimistic about sales, it's not that it won't publish, especially when Mr. Xiqiu has such a will." ”

"It seems that my face is really not small, and I can actually let a company as big as you publish it without being optimistic." Zhang Qiuxi said: "You don't have to worry that the books I write in the future are also not suitable for publication in the United States, in that case, your investment will be in vain." ”

"If Mr. Xiqiu feels that he can't go, he can return to the science fiction genre in the future." Jonathan also smiled and joked, and then said: "There are indeed reasons for cherishing Mr. Qiu, but the investment is not enough, and the sales will not be good Compared with the previous works, publishing Detective Di Renjie will at least not lose money, and it may be higher than the works of other Celestial Dynasty writers." ”

"It seems that I am a mere mere nuisance." Zhang Qiuxi only realized that the Eswell Company was very well received in the Celestial Empire publishing industry, because their company was particularly interested in the culture of the Celestial Empire, and they were already translating the literary works of the Celestial Empire when the Celestial Empire's international influence was not so strong twenty or thirty years ago.

It can be said that they are also helping the Celestial Empire to promote culture, and "Detective Di Renjie" in addition to the wonderful plot, also has the most original history and culture in it, so most Americans may not understand, but it should be what Acewell is happy to see.

But businessmen, it's one thing to like yourself, it's another thing to have value, Eswell's approach has always made the people of the Celestial Empire feel friendly, but it's better not to think of them too noblely.

There is no need to delve into the inside story, it is a good thing to be able to publish, Zhang Qiuxi then said: "You still have the final say on how to publish, if I am too conservative in my opinion, it will be regrettable but you." ”

"Teacher Xiqiu, why do you think that Detective Di Renjie will also be popular in the United States?" Jonathan seems to be very interested in this issue, and Zhang Qiuxi has always sworn that he can sell well.

It doesn't matter if this kind of thing is wrong, at most it's just a hat with a crow's mouth, and the football king Pele has not been tired of guessing how wrong he is, so he continued to guess and continue to be wrong, so he said: "Because I have confidence in the history of the Celestial Empire." ”

"It's good for me that you're not optimistic about sales." Zhang Qiuxi continued: "Jonathan, see if you can sell the two story volumes of "Four Paint Screens" and "Dripping Blood Eagle" together, anyway, you don't need to do any layout if you are not optimistic, I can take the opportunity to see the market reaction." ”

"I don't know what you're trying to do, but it shouldn't be a problem." Jonathan nodded.

"The Eagle of Dripping Blood" has not many words, barely enough for one volume, when the Western Union University published it, it directly combined the two stories into one volume, and the two popular stories in China are not much different, and they are all Celestial Empire people The response has no reference value.

"Four Paint Screens" copied the novel that was originally very successful in Europe and the United States, but "The Bloody Eagle" is only a TV series that has been well received in China, and Zhang Qiuxi has also added a lot of content by himself, and it is very suspenseful whether it can be successful in the United States.

Sell separately and see how the two stories react in the United States, he can make adjustments in the future, which one is more popular in terms of writing style and other details, anyway, it is the same in terms of domestic affairs, and he can focus on overseas markets without scruples.

——————

"So the contract was signed? That's good news. Before agreeing with Jonathan, Hongdou also felt that it was not easy to publish this theme in the United States, and most of those martial arts novels were also Chinese, and the sales of the Chinese version were higher.

This higher is actually negligible, and the sales of more than 100,000 may make other peers blush, for Zhang Qiuxi and Acewell Company, this is a street achievement, but "I, the machine qì man" has sold millions, and "The Matrix" is also approaching this result.

"If there is sales overseas, it will be considered a revenue generation, so let's put this matter aside for now." Zhang Qiuxi said: "More than a month has passed, what is the situation on the slam dunk's side." ”

"There is good news and bad news." Shangguan Jin, who has become a special external contact, answered.

"Why do you come to this set again, can you change it to something fresh." Zhang Qiuxi held his forehead to express helplessness.

Shangguan Jin said: "I'm telling you the facts, but I don't want to tease you." The rock singer Qin Jianghua is looking for is very reliable, and now the first episode has been completed, and the studio is already working on the second episode. The bad news is that we haven't caught up with the time, and we won't be able to get subsidies. ”

"Why? This is definitely pure domestic production, right, why can't you still receive subsidies, is it that sending some people to Japan to study is also considered a foreign system? Zhang Qiuxi exploded again when he heard it.

"It has nothing to do with these, it's because the state has stopped subsidizing the animation industry, so it's said that it's not in time." Shangguan Jin also said helplessly. RS
