Backtracking to the Age of Literature and Art

Chapter 661 This is the black and white version, close to the people
Knowledge is priceless, but the carrier of knowledge is valuable.

Although it costs nearly ten dollars to order a set of ancient Chinese poetry albums on Amazon, which is much more expensive than a novel, there are still many people who are willing to pay for it.

On the one hand, this kind of "reference book"-like reading materials should be sold more expensive in the United States. On the other hand, this picture book is really well done.

Due to various reasons, within a week, this set of picture albums sold more than 50 sets, and after a week, the daily order volume increased instead of decreasing, and more and more. In the second week, waiting for the second batch After the poetry came out, more people bought it.

Ancient Chinese poetry suddenly became popular in the United States, and a group of experts came over to analyze what made ancient Chinese poetry so popular with Americans.

Some people say that it is because Yu Dong, as a world-renowned best-selling novelist, his appeal is conceivable, and he sent so many specials about ancient Chinese poetry to American readers at the signing event. Signs are considered by many experts to be the main reason why ancient Chinese poetry attracts Americans.

Others believe that although Yu Dong’s appeal is very strong, there are other reasons for the popularity of ancient Chinese poetry, such as exquisite albums, clear and easy-to-understand analysis, and the correctness of love elements in poems. Appetites for boys and girls.

Anyway, experts are analyzing the reasons for the popularity of ancient Chinese poetry from various aspects.

In fact, the reason why ancient Chinese poetry became so popular this time was mainly due to the marketing of Deep Space Company, and the initial wave of small fire on Amazon was just an introduction.

Since the launch of this theme in the summer, Deep Space has made a whole set of marketing plans.

For the YU Umbrella Association alone, in one or two months, all the branches together held more than 300 large and small ancient Chinese poetry exchange meetings.

The smaller ones have only four or five people, and the larger ones can reach 800 people. The impact can be described as very large.

In the beginning, the YU Umbrella Association held the Ancient Chinese Poetry Exchange Conference independently. Later, Deep Space supported an association dedicated to the exchange of ancient Chinese poetry, called "Song of Feng Ya".

With the help of deep space and the YU Umbrella Association, the "Ode to Feng Ya" association has developed rapidly. In less than two months, it has nearly [-] members.

So the subsequent exchange meetings were basically organized by the "Ode to Feng Ya" association, and many of them were large-scale and high-standard.

"Ode to Feng Ya", as a newly established general association, naturally has no money, and everything they do is supported by deep space.

This time, in order to operate the special album of ancient Chinese poetry, Shenkong spent more than 500 million US dollars on the "Ode to Fengya" association alone.

There is also the matter of student love letters. In fact, it also started with marketing. Deep Space America promoted this matter in several major cities, and then some students actually put poems into love letters.

When the anthology of ancient Chinese poetry began to show signs of explosion, Deep Space bribed columnists and reporters to distribute a bunch of news about why the anthology of ancient Chinese poetry was so popular in the United States.

No matter where people are, they like to join in the fun, and when they see it written in the news, other people who didn't pay attention to the special album of ancient Chinese poetry have begun to pay attention.

In the whole marketing process, Deep Space Company spent more than 1000 million U.S. dollars. It is not easy to earn back the money by selling picture albums alone. After all, the cost of flash printing is not low.

But the deep space doesn't care at all, what the deep space wants is to make this thing famous.

Once this special album is successful, it will benefit Deep Space Corporation, Flash Printing and Amazon.

Both Flash Printing and Amazon have shares in Deep Space, so Deep Space can be said to be the biggest winner.

As long as things are successful, the more than 1000 million US dollars is nothing at all, but just a batch of regular advertising expenses.

Besides, there is not only one batch of ancient Chinese poetry albums, as long as it can continue to attract the attention of readers, the follow-up will bring a steady stream of profits to Deep Space.

The most important thing is that only the Deep Space Company can earn this money, and there is no way for others to compete with the Deep Space Company for business.

……

Yu Dong soon saw the finished product of the ancient Chinese poetry album, but it was not the sample sent to him by the company.

He went back to her natal home with Cheng Yanqiu and saw it at a bookstall on Anren Street.

"Look, take a look, the pride of the Chinese people, the most popular book in America at the moment, only costs two dollars a book."

The couple, who were about to walk over, couldn't help turning their heads when they heard the cry.

"Boss, what is the pride of the Chinese people, the most popular reading material in the United States?" Cheng Yanqiu asked.

The boss looked at the young couple in front of him, and always felt that he had met the man somewhere, but now he was more concerned about the business in front of him.

"Look." The boss pointed to the picture album hanging on the board, "This is it, the high-quality picture album, led by Yan Normal University, a collection of poetry appreciation and analysis compiled by hundreds of well-known experts and teachers, has been sold in the United States Tens of millions of copies were lost."

Cheng Yanqiu raised his eyebrows, and asked Yu Dong in a low voice: "Are there tens of millions of copies?"

"Of course, no." Yu Dong replied in a low voice, and then asked the boss: "Boss, did you import it from the United States?"

The boss nodded bluntly: "Yes, I have a friend in the United States, and I managed to get it."

Yu Dong glanced at the picture album hanging on the board, "I heard that the picture albums produced by Deep Space Company are in color, why are you all in black and white?"

The boss said calmly: "The news you read is behind. In order to make the price more affordable, Deep Space Company specially released a black and white version. Otherwise, you think you can buy it for two yuan? You can buy the color version. If you pay a hundred, I can't sell you."

Yu Dong couldn't help curling his lips, "This Shenkong company is quite friendly to the people."

The boss looked at Yu Dong up and down, with a trace of disdain in his eyes: "Aren't you a local?"

"How to say?"

"If you're a local, you must know about Shenkong Company. In Jinling, who doesn't give Shenkong Company a thumbs up? Their company is a famous brand in Jinling."

"Boss, are you from Jinling?" Yu Dong asked back.

The boss smiled, "That's not true, I'm from Luzhou, and I just came here last month."

Cheng Yanqiu muttered, "No wonder it looks strange."

"Ah?" The boss heard Cheng Yanqiu muttering, but didn't hear what she said.

Cheng Yanqiu said with a smile: "I said you are unfamiliar, I live near here, I have been walking on this street every day since I was a child, and basically I am familiar with everyone who often does business here."

"Oh, a local." The boss rubbed his hands, "I'm new here too, please take care of me, take care of me."

Yu Dong nodded, took an ancient poetry album from the bookstall, and flipped through it.

The quality of this set of pirated booklets is very average. The original color pictures look very blurry after being turned into black and white. It can be sold for two dollars because this set of booklets has become popular, and there are not many pirated versions. Not very competitive.

I believe that it won't be long before the number of pirated versions on the market will gradually increase, and the quality and price will gradually stabilize.

Nowadays, the domestic piracy market is growing wildly, and the profits are so high that regular companies want to get involved.

Seeing that his company's products were pirated, Yu Dong was not angry at all.

It may be because such a situation could have been expected in advance, so Yu Dong did not respond, and the services of Flash Printing and Amazon have not yet come to China at this stage, and have no impact on Deep Space's income.

Deep Space is definitely going to be an online shopping website in China, but there is no rush now, the computer business is still slowly spreading, and Deep Space wants to handle the current business well, and then focus on the online shopping website.

"Boss, buy a copy."

Yu Dong put down the brochure, shook his head, "No money."

The boss smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't have money, come back when you have money next time, and I'll keep this booklet for you."

……

After Yu Dong and the others walked for a while, the boss who was sitting on a chair reading a newspaper suddenly stood up.

The man just now seemed to be...

The boss ran to find a copy of the "Yangtze Evening News" last month, and found a photo on it.

"Here--"

The boss patted his head, and the roots of his ears turned red.

Although he makes a living by selling pirated copies, it is more or less embarrassing to sell pirated copies to the boss of the original work.

And I don't know how Yu Dong's temper is. If he meets a narrow-minded person, he might retaliate against him.

"Oh, by the way, why didn't I remember it? It's said that his lover is from Anren Street..."

When the boss first came to Anren Street to do business, he heard people talking about it, saying that Jinling Zhiguang Yudong's lover was from Anren Street. When they got married, it was very lively, and many people around went to see it.

……

Of course, Yu Dong couldn't spend his time trying to get revenge on a bookstall owner just because the other party sold pirated copies of his own products.

If this is the case, he can stop doing other things all day long and just concentrate on eliminating piracy.

Some people say that piracy occurs in China because people are poor and cannot afford genuine copies. As long as everyone has money, they will definitely buy genuine copies spontaneously.

This is pure fart.

Regardless of how rich the Americans are, if they allow the trading of pirated copies, the original version will be wiped out immediately.

In China, if you want to eliminate piracy, you can only legislate and crack down, but this is not necessary.

Everyone knows that piracy is harmful, but everything should be prioritized. There are still many more important things to do in China at this stage than eradicating piracy, so eradicating piracy can be done first.

Yu Dong also wants to eradicate piracy, but he also knows that now is not a good time.

After having lunch at the home of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, the couple strolled back to Jinyi. When passing by the bookstall, Yu Dong took a special look, but found that the poetry-themed albums on the bookstall were gone. I don't know where I went.

Crossing Anren Street, it took a long walk to reach Jinyi, but neither of them was in a hurry.

They walked back and forth on this road for countless times. It is no exaggeration to say that they can touch it back even with their eyes closed.

Occasionally on the road, some people who recognized Yudong would come across, and the couple would greet each other with a smile.

Youzai Youzai arrived at Jinyi, and you could hear the noise at the door from a long distance away.

Yu Dong looked up and saw a large group of people surrounded the main entrance of the school, and the noise came from the "encirclement".

"Little Wanzi, I love you, Little Wanzi, I love you."

First came a man's voice, which should have been shouting for a long time, and it sounded a little hoarse.

Then I heard Uncle Zhou's voice coming from inside, "Young man, you have been yelling for almost half an hour, go back quickly, the police will really come later."

"Little Wanzi, I love you, Little Wanzi, I love you."

The man ignored Uncle Zhou at all and continued to shout desperately.

Hearing the man calling Xiao Wanzi hoarsely, Yu Dong was stunned inwardly. It turned out that he was a fan of Xiao Wanzi, and he chased Xiao Wanzi all the way to school.

It is actually quite normal for movie fans and drama fans to come to Jinyi to watch these stars. Basically, there will be such people at the door every day.

In addition to chasing those celebrities, many people also ran to Jin Yi's gate just to try their luck and meet literati like Yu Dong and the others.

However, no matter whether you are chasing film and television stars or chasing literati, you are basically more restrained. You always wait at the door to take chances. up.

Standing at the door and yelling for half an hour like today has never appeared before.

"Brother, hurry up, don't disturb the normal order of the school here anymore." Xiao Fang also persuaded from the side, and it can be heard that he also persuaded a lot, and his words sounded like smoke coming out of his throat .

"Yes, if you really like Senior Sister Hu Jing, leave now, otherwise she will only be unhappy if you make trouble here."

"Yes, yes, let me tell you, our Teacher Yu is very strict. If you make such a mess for Senior Hu Jing, he will definitely punish Senior Hu Jing."

Yu Dong, who was watching the excitement not far away, had a few question marks above his head: "???"

The man was persuaded by the people around him a few words, but he became even more excited, "Little Wanzi, I love you, if that Teacher Yu bullies you, I will help you beat him. I love you Xiaowanzi, if that Teacher Yu bullies you ,I'll help you……"

The same sentence, the man kept repeating, like a repeater.

Cheng Yanqiu glanced at Yu Dong with a smile: "Look, you've made enemies again."

"It seems that I will talk to Hu Jing about this later."

Cheng Yanqiu rolled his eyes, "What does this matter have to do with that little girl Hu Jing, isn't this man crazy?"

Yu Dong laughed and said, "If you are so anxious to protect her, I only said that I wanted to tell her about it, but I didn't say that I wanted to criticize her. Now that she is becoming more and more famous, I have to be careful about this."

"That's true."

The two watched the excitement for a while, and some students had already noticed them, but they were not prepared to get involved in this matter, so they were ready to walk into the school.

Just then the police came.

I thought the man would be honest when the police came.

But as soon as he saw the police, the man became nervous and rushed into the school desperately.

Uncle Zhou wanted to stop him, but before he raised his hand, he was pushed back by the man, and his ass fell.

Yu Dong saw Uncle Zhou fell to the ground, and was about to help him, but Uncle Zhou got up quickly, pointed at the man rushing into the school and shouted: "Grab him, grab him."

Surrounded by students, young and strong, full of enthusiasm, they became more and more excited when they saw a man wanting to punch a card.

The two policemen didn't move, and the man was already subdued by several boys and sent over.

After being sent to the police car, the man was still howling: "Little Wanzi, I love you, Little Wanzi, I love you."

Uncle Zhou fell hard just now. He rubbed his buttocks with one hand and walked over with a folding fan in the other. The fan knocked on the top of the man's head, "Love, love, love your mother's shit!"

The two policemen didn't dare to stop them, so they could only quickly drag the man into the car and take him away.

……

At first, everyone thought this incident was just a sudden incident, a small episode, but within a few days, such incidents began to become more frequent.

Not all of them ran to the door and roared, there were quite a few people who would sneak in over the courtyard wall, just to find Xiaowanzi and the others.

The most frightening thing was that someone even ran into the girls' dormitory. If he hadn't been discovered in time, I really don't know what would have happened.
