From being on the show with my ex, it started to explode

Chapter 221 "Two Song Dynasties" series goes overseas

"Boss, isn't this a coincidence!" Zhu Jia's voice sounded very excited, and Song Ci was stunned.

"What's the coincidence?" Song Ci asked with interest.

Zhu Jiadao: "It's like this. Foreign Language Publishing House is not only a well-known publishing house in the global Chinese circle, so they want to publish the "Two Song Dynasty" series to the Chinese areas around the world."

Song Ci blinked and said happily: "This is a good thing!"

Zhu Jia stood up and led Song Ci out, saying as he walked:
"Their Chief Editor Wang is here. Boss, if you have time, we might as well go and have a chat with him."

Song Ci nodded, and not long after, the two of them met Wang Shen, the silver-haired editor-in-chief of a foreign language publishing house, in a small conference room.

Behind Wang Shen were two assistants. Seeing Song Ci appearing with Zhu Jia, Wang Shen was obviously stunned, and then a touch of excitement appeared on his face and he said:
"Wow, what kind of luck do we have today? We actually met Teacher Song Ci and you are here too!"

The two assistants behind Wang Shen shrank their eyes the moment Song Ci appeared, obviously very surprised.

You know, even though it was known in advance that the boss of Chang'an Publishing House was Song Ci himself, and three of them came over, they also talked with Zhu Jia about the publication of Song Ci's "Two Song Dynasty" series.

But no one expected that they could actually see Song Ci himself here.

If the two parties didn't still have cooperation to discuss, the two assistants would have already approached Song Ci and asked for a photo.

Zhu Jia heard this and said with a smile: "The boss just came to the company today."

Then Zhu Jia turned slightly sideways and introduced Song Ci:
"Boss, this is Editor-in-Chief Wang, who is well-known in the industry. He has a very sharp eye and has discovered many excellent published books. He is deeply respected by many authors."

Zhu Jia gave the opponent a high hat as soon as he came up.

Song Ci reached out his hand, shook hands with Wang Shen, and said calmly:

"Hello, Editor-in-Chief, I just happen to be here today. Just have a chat with Editor-in-Chief Zhu, and I'll just be there to listen."

Wang Shen said: "Haha, don't worry, we are all professionals..."

Zhu Jia made a gesture to please sit down, so several people sat down.

Wang Shen said directly: "Then let me get straight to the point. Our foreign language publishing house has publishing capabilities in more than fifty countries and regions around the world.

"And if our "Two Song Dynasties" series sells well in the local Chinese circle, we can even contact professional sinologists to directly translate this series into English or even other languages. It can be expanded The entire "Two Songs" series has a global influence!"

Zhu Jia listened to Wang Shen's bragging about their family's strength without changing his expression. He knocked on the table gently, with a smile on his face and said:

"Mr. Wang, everyone is in the circle. We all know your strength. Just tell us your conditions!"

Wang Shen adjusted his sleeves and said expressionlessly:

"We want to directly buy out the overseas physical copyrights of the "Two Songs" series."

In fact, according to convention, foreign language publishers with this kind of copyright can directly negotiate with the author of the novel.

No need to go through Chang'an Publishing House.

But the "Two Song Dynasties" series of Song Ci poems are different.

First of all, of course the full copyright of this series belongs to Song Ci.

But in order to save trouble, Song Ci himself handed over the copyright management of this series to Chang'an Publishing House.

This means that Wang Shen can only come over to Zhu Jia to talk about cooperation at this moment.

Of course, whether the relevant cooperation can succeed in the end is actually up to Song Ci himself, who can make the final decision himself.

Hearing what Wang Shen said, Zhu Jia glanced at Song Ci and saw Song Ci sitting on the side, calmly drinking water. So Zhu Jia looked at Wang Shen and said calmly: "This is not okay."

Wang Shen said hurriedly: "Don't refuse in a hurry."

As he spoke, he looked at Song Ci and said with a smile on his face:

"Boss Song, you may not be able to refuse our buyout figure."

As he spoke, he stretched out his left hand and spread his fingers.

Zhu Jiale was happy: "500 million?"

Wang Shen shook his head and said seriously: "5000 million!!"

His voice suddenly became much louder: "I know that the "Two Songs" series sells very well in China, but abroad, its popularity is very low, 5000 million. It needs to sell tens of millions of copies to make a profit. Arrived."

Wang Shen analyzed it carefully.

When he said this, he looked at Song Ci the whole time and not at Zhu Jia at all.

He knew that although Song Ci did not speak and Zhu Jia was the one who spoke, he knew that whether the cooperation would succeed or not would depend on Song Ci's nodding.

Zhu Jia's face looked very ugly and he said: "But we still hope to share it. The ratio can be negotiated. After all, if we want to go abroad, we still need your channels."

Wang Shen raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "Yes, our channels are the strongest in the entire country. Moreover, the 5000 million buyout, Boss Song, you will never suffer a loss. .”

At this time, Song Ci finally spoke: "Let's divide it into shares. I don't expect the "Two Song Dynasty" series to be a hit in foreign countries. I just hope that the influence will be greater, so after publication, there need to be some trade-offs in terms of pricing."

Wang Shen said: "We do not accept profit sharing. 5000 million is our greatest sincerity."

Song Ci continued to explain: "You should know that this summer our company just released a movie with a box office of more than 20 billion. If I want to make money, I don't need to make money by publishing physical books. After all, this is too slow!"

Wang Shen leaned back on the chair, rubbed his eyebrows, and then said patiently:
"You have been in the entertainment industry, so you may not know what 5000 million means to a book published domestically and abroad!"

Zhu Jia thought for a while and asked one more question: "How many years do you want to buy it?"

Wang Shen said: "The rules of the world."

The rule of the rivers and lakes is that it will be 50 years after the author's death.

Song Ci didn't understand the rules of the world, so Zhu Jia leaned into his ear and explained.

It is difficult for Wang Shen to say this directly.

Otherwise, it sounds a bit like cursing Song Ci.

After all, everyone was chatting quite calmly at the moment.

After understanding the reason, Song Ci said: "This is even more impossible."

He still has some confidence in the entire "Two Song Dynasty" series. He can't make a specific judgment about the future, but if he is not short of money at the moment, he must choose the share.

As for how much money the entire series will make after it is published, who can say clearly ten years from now, 20 years from now, or even 50 years from now.

After all, the "Two Songs" series is just one dynasty in the 5000-year series of Song poetry.

Wait until the follow-up, when the so-called Three Kingdoms, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Tang Dynasty, Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and Ming and Qing Dynasties come out.

When all the series are completely connected on the timeline, the sales volume of the books in this series will be so terrifying that it is simply unimaginable.When Wang Shen saw Song Ci's nonchalant look, the calmness on his face finally faded a lot, and he became a little anxious. He wanted to give some explanation, but Zhu Jia waved his hand and said:

"Brother, our boss is really not short of money. If you are willing to share, we can continue to talk, but if you insist on a buyout, this matter... is really not possible..."

Wang Shen touched his chin, his mind flashing rapidly.

Before coming here, there were actually three rounds of heated discussions within the Foreign Languages ​​Publishing House.

They know how destructive the "Two Song Dynasty" series is in the entire country of China and how much it has sold for.

Moreover, they have conducted surveys in many Chinese areas around the world, and now everyone is eager for the "Two Song Dynasty" series to rank No. 1 on the relevant book request list.

You know, the entire country of China has more than 30 billion people, and the number of Chinese in the world is also in the hundreds of millions.

In the middle, there are super huge potential customers.

There are currently eight books in the entire series.

Considering the popularity of this series in China, the eight books have sold tens of millions in total, which is actually a relatively simple matter.

To earn three or four yuan from a book, you only need to sell more than 1000 million copies. After that, all the profits will belong to the foreign language publishing house.

As for the division... haha, this is something that foreign language publishing houses have never considered.

Therefore, the Foreign Languages ​​Publishing House has internally determined that spending 5000 million to buy the copyright of the "Two Songs" series will make a lot of money in the next few years.

But who knew, this was rejected by Song Ci at the first step.

Song Ci saw the struggle in Wang Shen's eyes, stood up, and said calmly:
"Editor-in-Chief Wang, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Lao Zhu, please see me off."

After saying that, Song Ci left.

Wang Shen watched Song Ci leave directly, his eyes flickered several times, and finally he stopped Song Ci.

"Editor-in-Chief Wang, let's go. Let's work together again if there is a chance in the future!" Zhu Jia said calmly.

At this time, his cell phone rang, and it was a message from Song Ci: "Let's look for other publishing houses in the future. The size of the other publishing house is not that important. You can just sell the books."

Zhu Jia nodded slightly.

Wang Shen also saw the change in Zhu Jia's eyes. From his originally ugly expression, he suddenly squeezed out an even more ugly smile:

"Aren't you planning to find another publisher?"

Zhu Jia looked at him calmly and nodded.

The smile on Wang Shen's face widened: "You should really investigate carefully. Our foreign language publishing house accounts for more than [-]% of the publishing industry in the Chinese circle."

Zhu Jia's expression remained unchanged and he said: "Our boss has made a decision. What can I do? I can only execute it!"

Wang Shen happily said to Zhu Jia: "Your boss is a typical layman. You will always suffer losses..."

Zhu Jia said: "Although our business has not been completed, there is no need for you to slander our boss, right?"

Wang Shen pointed at Zhu Jia with a half-smile: "We have known each other for so many years, and I probably know what you are thinking. Okay, we won't succeed if we don't cooperate this time, but you can tell Song Ci , the door of our foreign language publishing house is always open to him."

Zhu Jia pushed Wang Shen and said, "You should leave quickly. If you don't leave, I will find someone to attack you!"

Five minutes later, Wang Shen and his two assistants walked out of Chang'an Publishing House with a livid face.

He really didn't expect that the cooperation that he thought was a good cooperation actually failed!

But... haha... you Song Ci will always regret it.

If the "Two Song Dynasty" series wants to go overseas, besides foreign language publishing houses, who else can do it?

As his thoughts flickered, Wang Shen saw Song Ci getting into a car on the roadside not far away.

He looked at Song Ci's back with a sneer in his eyes.

Do you really think you are an all-rounder?
Song Ci didn't pay much attention to the episode here.

I got on the plane and arrived in Shangjing. I didn’t even put my luggage in the hotel, but went directly to CCTV to prepare for the rehearsal.

Yin Fu, the music director of the competition, came up immediately to find Song Ci and listened to the final version with Song Ci.

He looked at Song Ci excitedly as if offering a treasure, looking forward to Song Ci's approval.

After listening to this song, Song Ci gave a thumbs up and said:
"It's awesome, it tastes just like I imagined!"

Yin Fu said: "I have to thank you for giving me this opportunity to leave my name on the production list of this song "Blue and White Porcelain"!"

During this time, he has listened to all the works of the sixteen participating singers.

Therefore, at this moment, Yin Fu can make his own judgment very confidently and responsibly.

Among these sixteen songs, the song "Blue and White Porcelain" written by Song Ci is the most awesome one.

Of course, this judgment is his own judgment buried deep in his heart.

As for who will win or lose in the duel between these sixteen songs on the stage, this is still an unknown thing.

Song Ci said: "You are joking, thank you for your hard work this time!"

During this period, Song Ci communicated with Yin Fu no less than ten times on the set before settling on the final version.

So the other party is also working very hard.

In the music circle of domestic entertainment, the producers behind the scenes are rarely known to the public.

The singer standing in front of the stage seemed to be the whole song.

But in fact, if we really talk about it, the singer's singing can only be regarded as one of the instruments in this piece of music.

From the lyrics, music, arrangement, mixing, and production of a song, every link is indispensable.

The rehearsal of the Song lyrics this time was also relatively simple.

I only stayed at the scene for an hour, practicing my moves on the stage and coordinating with the stage effects.

This competition has entered the top [-], and the competition organizing committee has provided backup dancers for all [-] singers.

Everyone can choose to have it or not.

After Song Ci saw the overall choreography, he decided that he needed this dance when he sang.
