Rebirth 96: Begin the life of a monster from kindergarten

Although he had a pleasant conversation with director Zhou Qin, Zhang Yiyi said nothing in the end as the script of "Calabash Baby" had no new ideas.

This is an animated film that Shangmei Film Studio has already started producing. It has not been tested by the market, so who do you have to judge whether it will do well at the box office.

And even if I propose it, even if I go to an art studio to follow my suggestion and come up with an original plot, if it still flops at the box office, I might become a villain.

Some people even think: If we follow the original idea, maybe the box office will explode!
So, let nature take its course. As a long-established star company, Shangmei Factory has its pride, so taking some detours may not be a bad thing.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although Shangmei Factory is in the sunset, it accumulated a lot of classic IP in its early years and held the copyright of these IP very tightly. Although the performance of the animation film and television field is mediocre now, it relies on various copyright authorizations to survive. I lived very comfortably.

After chatting with Zhou Qin about animation for a while, Zhang and his party found an excuse to leave and went to the Jinjiang Literature office.

Hu Weishi was also here. After meeting Zhang and his party, he reported to him the recent progress of the overseas edition of Jinjiang Literature.

For Jinjiang Literature to go overseas, Dreamweaver Literature Network can be said to be one step ahead of other domestic literary websites.

Nowadays, in the world of online literature, one company, Shanda Literature, is the dominant one in the field of men’s videos, and one company, Jinjiang Literature, is the only one in the field of women’s videos. They are almost inseparable. Shanda Literature even has good cooperation with Dreamweaver Culture in the publishing business.

Chen Tianqiao is not a very patient person in product management. His main purpose of acquiring novel websites such as Singularity Literature was to build his online Disney, which was the TV box product that ultimately led to his demise.

Over the years, the overseas publishing business of Dream Weaver Literature has been operating very well. The contracted authors of Jinjiang Literature Network are flourishing both inside and outside the walls, and they still have many loyal readers abroad.

Shanda Literature's male video market still has many challengers in China, but Jinjiang Literature's position has been firmly established, and it is natural for it to go overseas.

For example, works such as court battles and house fights are very popular in Southeast Asian countries, and works such as urban romance have repeatedly appeared on bestseller lists in countries such as Bangzi and Japan.

The TV box he proposed is actually a good product, through which Internet content can be directly put on the TV. Unfortunately, Chen Tianqiao's vision is too forward, and the current domestic broadband and other infrastructure cannot support this product. It was not until more than ten years later that the box product passed Smart TVs have entered thousands of households, but at that time Shanda had already withdrawn from the stage of history.

Nowadays, as "My Girlfriend is a Nine-tailed Fox" has also received high ratings in countries such as Bangzi Country, foreign netizens are even more thirsty for these original online novels.

He once sent someone to discuss the acquisition of Jinjiang Literature Network, but was rejected by Hu Weishi. Then he tried to develop his own female pornographic literature website, but it failed to achieve results in two years, so he reduced his investment.

Therefore, when Jinjiang Literature Network went overseas, it directly targeted these markets and built a product matrix. After all, the popularity of film and television dramas has a huge advertising effect. It would be a waste if we did not take over this traffic.

There are many novels in later generations that were originally unknown, but they were not noticed by readers until the works were adapted into TV series.

"In addition to the translation of domestic works, our overseas original literature section has also been launched at the same time. Today, there are still very few registered overseas authors!" Zhang and his party thought for a while and said to Hu Weishi: "This matter of recruiting overseas authors cannot be rushed, but it can be Guide us to select some good domestic works to replenish the quantity of overseas original works, and organize some essay contests. If foreign creators don’t understand Jinjiang Literature Network, let them see that money is nothing more than profit-driven!”

Speaking of this, Zhang Yixing suddenly remembered a literary website that had been very popular overseas in his previous life, the martial arts world Wuxiaworld.

At that time, this website relied on translating domestic online fantasy novels, attracting overseas readers from hundreds of countries, and became the largest Chinese online literature website in the English-speaking world.

I remember it was said in the news at that time that a reader from Chou Country quit drugs because he focused on reading fantasy novels.

Now Singularity Literature is still facing competition from many domestic websites, and under the rule of Chen Tianqiao, it has no intention of going overseas. This is a good opportunity for Jinjiang Literature.

With some calculations in mind, Zhang Yixing said to Hu Weishi: "Since we have gone overseas and there are no competitors overseas, don't just focus on women's online articles. We can also try it first while Shanda Literature has no time to consider the overseas market. water!"

Hu Weishi asked unexpectedly: "Enter the overseas male video literature market?"

"That's right, we have acquired so many works such as "Zhu Xian", "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", and "Purple River" over the years, as the vanguard, and like Jinjiang Literature Network, we also explore overseas authors!"

Seeing Hu Weishi thinking about this matter seriously, Zhang Yixing smiled and said: "Don't be too serious. Wai Guoren actually likes to read Shuangwen. It's like "Twilight". To put it bluntly, it's just a bloody Qiong Yao drama." , the story of a vampire and a werewolf falling in love with me and killing each other for me!”

Hu Weishi suddenly became happy, waved to Zhang and his party, and said dissatisfied: "How can you deny yourself like this? "Twilight" is your own work!"

"What's the point, including these domestic authors, let them write freely, such as "Through the Civil War, Lin Qian asked me to come out", whatever it feels like, there will definitely be people reading it, isn't the ugly country known as freedom of speech, then Don’t worry!”

Hu Weishi burst out laughing. Even people in the office outside heard her laughter. They held their stomachs and laughed for a long time. Hu Weishi stopped and wiped her tears while saying: "I understand, it is necessary to have It’s a gimmick! Don’t tell me, when I see this title, I can’t help but want to see what it is. Hey, there is no one like you in terms of cultural output!”

Zhang Yixing also smiled. He was very convinced of Hu Weishi's ability, otherwise he would not have single-handedly unearthed Han Han and Huo Xiaosi in his previous life.

As for the combat effectiveness of online Shuangwen, Zhang Yixing has personally seen it.

The Dragon King returned to the city, only to find that his wife was living in a doghouse. With an order, one hundred thousand members of the Dragon King Palace rushed to the scene!

There is really a market for this, and in more than ten years, it will become more and more popular, and it will promote each other with online short dramas!
Now that Zhang and his team have begun to enter online dramas together with Sohu, these online novels will naturally have to work together to make money in overseas markets. (End of chapter)
