Another World Under My Pen - Chapter 1975
With a strong agent team and a sophisticated financial team, Sun Peng can safely and boldly leave the entertainment industry for five years, but still control his own work.
Two independent teams, but at the same time rely on and support each other.
The agent team headed by Liu Chang is responsible for maintaining the works of Lao Bai, including novels, picture books, music, scripts, etc. Now almost all copyrights are authorized or sold out. Needless to say, those who sell it will have nothing to do with Lao Bai in the future, but the agent team must stare at the authorized works!
In this process, the financial team needs to assist in the audit to ensure that Sun Peng’s interests are not harmed.
With these two teams alone, the annual expenditure is hundreds of millions of Chinese currency.
However, relative to Sun Peng’s huge personal income each year, this expenditure is naturally not worth mentioning. Even if he has been in a “rest” state for several years, the two teams have never fired one person, just The number of year-end bonuses is just a little less…
The copyright of all books except picture books expires uniformly, which is the hand of the broker team.
“Next, we hope to find a truly world-class publisher!”
When explaining to Sun Peng, Liu Chang said seriously: “Especially your martial arts novels should not be limited to Chinese or Chinese cultural circles, but should go out and let more fans see these classic works! In this regard, Shuxiang Publishing House is really… Boss, this time you can’t stop it anymore.”
The last time Liu Chang made this idea, Sun Peng stopped at the last minute.
The reason is very simple, because Lao Bai started his career on the Shuxiang Chinese website, and later physical books started at Shuxiang Publishing House! For Sun Peng, this represents this memory and a feeling.
But in Liu Chang’s view, this behavior is a bit silly.
Because in essence, Shuxiang Publishing House is still living in China, but the road of overseas development has been unsatisfactory, and it is too far away from others.
And this is what Liu Chang has always been most dissatisfied with.
Relatively speaking, Sun Peng’s attitude was much calmer, hehe smiled and said, “Sister Chang, are you really sure that with enough publicity, martial arts novels can be sold in Europe and the United States? I always feel that… !”
In his previous life, Sun Peng had also read some news, saying that Chinese online novels are so popular in the United States that many people like to watch something. But in fact, I learned about it after a while. In fact, only a small group of people are interested and like watching it.
After all, it is not easy for Eastern culture to become popular in the West.
And compared to the easier to understand and straightforward film and television animation, text works are actually several times more difficult, because in the eyes of many people, text is more attractive than images because it can be fully utilized when reading. Own imagination-to use an old saying, there is a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people’s hearts, but if everyone is watching movies or plays, then there is only one Hamlet!
And if a Westerner wants to understand the Chinese characters, and it is a martial arts novel…
To be honest, Sun Peng is not very optimistic.
It’s just that Liu Chang didn’t agree with his attitude: “No, I don’t think you can just say no to anything unless you have tried it… For example, those English literary works from a hundred years ago are not in China. It’s also been a long time that nobody cared about it? But then when we realized the strength of the British, we naturally started to learn and admire everything about them, including literary works… Think about it, why? Their novels are real. Better than ours in China?”
“…Also.”
After a daze, Sun Peng nodded with a wry smile.
Yeah, why?
It’s like magic novels like “Lord of the Rings” and “Harry Potter”. In fact, what is the difference between them and martial arts novels? Especially in “Lord of the Rings”, there are always some people who have no brains to say something about epic. At the beginning, Sun Peng still felt that there was some truth, but then I thought about it carefully…
What is the so-called epic sense? Don’t you think the description of the text is magnificent?
Is it really missing in Chinese novels?
There are also those so-called Western classics, which are actually romance novels made in Britain and France two or three hundred years ago. However, because of their good writing style and time, they naturally become classics—there are so many contemporary Western novels. If they are not classics, who else can?
So in the final analysis, influence is the core and the key!
If it was China and China that smashed the road to the industrial revolution, then many rules in the world may change drastically. For example, the most well-known world masterpieces may be “A Dream of Red Mansions” and “The Romance of the Three Kingdoms”, the king of musical instruments may be Guzheng or Guqin, and martial arts novels may be more popular than magic…
“Okay, do as you say!”
Taking a deep breath, Sun Peng nodded at Liu Chang.
In that case, why not give it a try?
Perhaps at the very beginning, Sun Peng will be greeted by failure and will even affect his reputation, but ten years later…or decades later, what if the result is what Liu Chang thought?
Even for this possibility, it is definitely worth a try!
After seeing Sun Peng nod his head, Liu Chang was overjoyed, and a smile soon appeared at the corner of his mouth: “Don’t worry, we have already planned it. All the books will be handed over to Guanglun Publishing House for republishing… Guanglun But our old partners are reassuring in every aspect, right?”
After pondering for a moment, Sun Peng laughed and said, “Guanglun? You…you want to borrow the little wizard and the little wizard’s east wind?”
The longer the time, the bigger the reputation of Guanglun Publishing House overseas.
In fact, it is not only the publication of Little Wizard and Little Mage, but also because after using these two sets of books to open the door to overseas markets, Guanglun has really been very competitive in recent years, and has produced more than a dozen sets of best-selling books. ——Although there is no so-called hot sales, but these dozen sets of books have sold hundreds of thousands overseas, which is quite good.
So after listening to Liu Chang’s words, Sun Peng’s first reaction was to borrow Dongfeng’s idea.
“If you can, why not?”
With a raised eyebrow, Liu Chang said with a smile: “In fact, we would prefer Seal Publishing House to take over, but…it’s a pity that although they are also quite interested, the conditions have not been agreed.”
“Conditions? What conditions?”
After a daze, Sun Peng asked subconsciously.
“It is difficult for us to agree on the number of prints in each language version.”
After spreading his hands, Liu Chang shook his head and smiled: “Guanglun Publishing can give you half a million copies of the first print of the English edition, but the seals…hehe, only one hundred thousand copies, which is too far away.”
“Ok, I see.”
Sun Peng instantly understood, and smiled and nodded: “It doesn’t matter what the remuneration is, but the more the number of first prints, the more the publisher will pay attention. It is better to leave this to the light wheel…”
