The Silian Publishing House, which is in charge of publishing matters, has even recently announced that booksellers from Wakoku, Malay, Singapore, Goryeo, and other countries have come to negotiate the purchase of the publishing rights of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" in their respective countries, and the Silian Publishing House has begun to organize people to translate "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" into Japanese, Malay, Korean, and other languages. In a word, "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" will be exported overseas!

What does a writer's fame and status sound like a bit of a fantasy?

Just two words: sales!

The number of sales of books written by a writer and the number of languages that can be translated for overseas publication are the sources of a writer's fame and status.

The more books are sold, the greater the fame and status of the writer.

The more languages the book is translated into and the more it is sold to overseas countries, the greater the fame and status of the writer.

The relationship between these is directly proportional.

Even if some writers have written best-selling books, they are rejected by writers in the traditional cultural circle and have an irrefillable weakness in terms of influence, no one can deny the fame and status of this writer in society, because the majority of readers and friends don't care about these, all they care about is whether the books written by this writer are good or not.

No matter in which country, the status of writers is higher than the status of outstanding people in other industries, which has nothing to do with science or reason, this is a common feature of human society, because human beings want to inherit their own civilization, to make civilization perishable, what is needed is words, that is, writers.

The same is true in China.

Especially compared to people in the entertainment industry, the status of writers is even higher.

Ordinary writers, well-known writers, writers on the Internet, and people in the entertainment industry can not dump them, and even look down on them with a lofty eye all the time, or simply ignore them.

But if this writer is a big writer and a popular writer, no one in the entertainment industry can ignore him and look down on him, and may even need to look up to him in turn.

The most typical example is that the stars who are engaged in acting careers are facing great writers.

For example, if you want to adapt a novel by a great writer and shoot it into a TV series or movie, the stars and even the directors ask the big writers to go, and they often have to eat behind closed doors and blank eyes.

Especially a gossip that has been circulating in the entertainment industry, it shows the bull break of great writers.

This gossip is about Xiangjiang kung fu superstar Lin Long, saying that in 1983, although Lin Long was a first-class movie star, he could never become popular, so Zou Guanchang, the great director who praised him, took him to meet Qinglongzi, planning to buy the film adaptation rights of Qinglongzi's martial arts novel "Tianjiao Wushuang", and then let Lin Long star, hoping to use Qinglongzi's reputation at that time and the reputation of "Tianjiao Wushuang" to promote Lin Long to the altar of superstars. As soon as Qinglongzi saw Lin Long's appearance, his muscles and his short stature, and then listened to Zou Guanchang's intentions, he immediately said unceremoniously: "The male protagonist of my novel was filmed for someone as handsome as Lin Yunfa." At that time, a first-class movie star could only hide in the bathroom and cry!

Now Lin Long has already surpassed Lin Yun-fat as an international kung fu superstar, shooting a movie casually, the copyright can be sold all over the world without worry, and he is the only Chinese star with box office appeal in the entire world.

Lin Yun-fat, the movie star who was valued by Qinglongzi back then, although he was also a superstar, and his name in the Chinese-speaking entertainment industry was even more famous than Lin Long, but in terms of global influence, Lin Yun-fat was far inferior to Lin Long.

Zou Guanchang has passed away, and Qinglongzi has also retired from the pen.

The above gossip, because of the relationship between the status and influence of the two, has always been able to circulate in secret, and no one dares to break the news, and Lin Long and Qinglongzi are also silent.

Rao is like this, from the fact that Lin Long did not come forward to stop this rumor, but only the default attitude, it can be seen that most of this gossip is true, and it can also be seen that the limelight of a real great writer can be seen from it!

Qinglongzi of that year, "Tianjiao Wushuang" is his second personal martial arts work, and he is already the most famous writer in society at that time, people don't know who the president of the country is, and they don't know who the richest man in the world is, but they must know who Qinglongzi is, and the degree of popularity can be described as the sky.

Zhao Xingchi's current status in society is far inferior to Qinglongzi's social status at that time, but no one present dared to underestimate Zhao Xingchi, Zeng Hongli and Ye Sheng did not dare, but subconsciously had a faint awe.

Stephen Zhao was born in 1990 and is only 24 years old this year, which is the age when a person has just made efforts, and the future is promising.

I'd rather bully the white-bearded man, and the young man will not be in the future!

At the end of the show, Zeng Hongli and Ye Sheng were still immersed in surprise.

Of course, the two of them were still a little unhappy in their hearts, Stephen Zhao actually pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger?

When parting, the two left with a sentence from Stephen Zhao, and Stephen Zhao smiled: "The entertainment industry is promising, and I am preparing to set up an entertainment company to enter the entertainment industry." In the future, I believe that my company and you will definitely have to cooperate. ”

Walking to a place where no one was around, Ye Sheng glanced back behind him, and said to Zeng Hongli with a smile: "Sister Zeng, you said that this person is not funny, and he said that he would enter the entertainment industry, who does he think he is?" Writing a historical novel really sees yourself as a character? He thought he was a green dragon. ”

Zeng Hongli smiled, looked down at the business card in her hand, then put it away, and said: "People can't look good, and the sea can't fight, how do you know that he won't become a Qinglongzi in the future?" Moreover, if you look at Chen Jingming and Wang Han now, who hasn't started to meddle in the entertainment industry? Maybe he is the next Chen Jingming and Wang Han. ”

"That's just as well." Ye Sheng smiled, but thought in his heart: "It seems that Zeng Hongli still values that Zhao Xingchi, is Zhao Xingchi really promising?" ”
