Seclusion in the Entertainment Industry - Chapter 548
Caron only felt that his chest was blocked with anger and couldn’t get up or down.
Yes, as the editor said, his new works are not worth any money at all!
Because in many cases, the so-called movie adaptation copyright IP buys not only the quality of a work, but also its traffic.
For example, for those comics in the superhero series, must the content quality be so valuable?
No, it is the popularity of those works that are valuable. Many people like to watch stories like that. Superheroes have become a cultural symbol and have a large audience.
So the copyright fees for those works are so expensive.
Of course, those works are also excellent. Some superhero stories are indeed well written and very in-depth, but these do not play a decisive role. The film producers are most interested in its high popularity.
But sometimes, a good work may not have much popularity, and a work of average quality may have high traffic because of the hot topics.
In reality, various uncertain factors lead to a lot of deviations.
For example, the new work of “Avatar” by Caron was directly criticized by the editor as worthless; while there are some very common works related to superheroes, but they can be sold at great prices.
This is the cruelty of reality.
After finishing the call with his current editor, Caron successively contacted some other editors who had worked with him.
For Caron’s new work, these editors have already received samples, so everyone knows what Caron is doing.
Like the current editor, some other people think that Caron’s new work is worthless. Some people even don’t bother to say a few more words to him. When they are connected, they say that they are busy and then hang up.
This made Caron very frustrated.
But he finally realized that his new work is almost impossible to be published commercially.
Then the only thing he can do next is to publish at his own expense!
Although historically, there have been self-published works, which eventually counterattacked the market and became a model of classic bestsellers, but such things may only happen once or twice in 100,000 works, the probability is too low.
Moreover, a large amount of money is needed in the early stage of self-publishing, and once the later books do not sell well, they will lose their fortunes.
So in any case, self-financing publishing is the last choice of Caron when he is desperate. He will not do it easily if it is not a last resort.
After thinking about it, Caron finally thought of Chen Feng.
That young oriental man, he actually said he wanted to buy the copyright of his own work…
Maybe… we can talk about it in detail?
If your work cannot be published in English in the end, how about publishing it in the Oriental Chinese-speaking region first?
Moreover, the young man named Chen Feng still makes a movie. If his work can be made into a movie in advance…
Although there is still a big gap between Chinese-language movies and Hao Laiwu, at least this is also an opportunity!
Thinking of this, Caron turned over the business card that Chen Feng had given him.
However, the things on the business card are very strange to Caron. He doesn’t know Chinese, and he has never heard of the English translation above.
“Pingan…what the **** is this?”
After thinking for a moment, Ka Long got up and went out and knocked on the door of a neighbor next to him.
Living next to Karon is a middle-aged couple who understands Chinese. Karon has done portraits for them before. They have a good relationship. Moreover, both of them have experience of studying abroad and speak English. Not bad, so he decided to take this business card to ask the other party.
If… Chen Feng and the others are really powerful, then there should be many people who have heard of it… At least, some information should be available on the Internet.
Soon, the door of the room opened, and the middle-aged couple saw that it was Caron, and immediately and enthusiastically invited him into the house.
They like the portraits Caron helped them make. They have always been very grateful to Caron. Everyone has come out to play. It’s rare to meet friends who are tempered, and the relationship will naturally be closer.
After entering the room, the two parties exchanged greetings, and then Karon directly took out the business card of Chen Feng and asked the other party to look at it for himself and check the origin of this business card.
The middle-aged couple was a little confused at first, but after seeing the name on the business card, both of them were a little shocked.
“Ping An Investment? Chen Feng? Ah??!!!”
Seeing the other person’s surprise, Caron couldn’t help but curiously asked: “What? Do you know him? He is really famous?”
“Of course it is famous. If this is true, then Chen Feng should be the one who participated in the investment and production of “Wandering Earth”!”
“Well, a very powerful filmmaker. In addition to “The Wandering Earth”, he has also participated in many classic movies, such as “Crazy Stone”, “Crazy Racing”, “Infernal Affairs”, “Shark Beach” and so on. He has made a lot of money in all films, and he is now a well-known big man in our Chinese film circle!”
After listening to the other party’s introduction, Caron was really confused now.
Although I guessed that Chen Feng would be rich and knew that he was making movies, he never expected that he was such a famous figure in the Chinese film circle.
So, if this is true, is it true that Chen Feng said before that he wanted to buy the copyright of his own work?
Caron suddenly felt a glimmer of hope.
Next, with the help of the middle-aged couple, Caron successfully found the original resources of the two most classic movies “The Wandering Earth” and “Infernal Affairs” on the Internet.
Although the movies have long been offline in theaters, on some video websites, these genuine movies are still on sale.
The two films cost twelve yuan each, which is actually very cheap.
Karon happily returned to his room, and then began to watch Chen Feng’s movie.
The “Wandering Earth” he watched first!
Because this is actually a Chinese science fiction blockbuster~www.mtlnovel.com~ The subject of science fiction is quite close to his new work, so he decided to look at the level of this work first.
In his impression, Chinese-language films seem to have no ability to make science fiction blockbusters.
However, after more than two hours passed, Caron had bloodshot eyes, but a strange smile appeared on his face.
“”Wandering Earth”… a Chinese science fiction movie… actually looks so good!!!”
There is no doubt that Caron was also conquered by the film “The Wandering Earth”.
Whether it’s the plot creativity or the special effects of the movie, everything is done very well. Even if the language is not clear, he can only look at English subtitles with small fonts, but he still feels shocked by the whole movie. It’s incredible.
Is this…the level of Chinese science fiction movies? It seems…It’s much higher than I expected!
