Reborn great writer

Nuoshan Publishing House is a relatively familiar name. Although Su Shichen can't remember where he saw it, but since he is familiar with it, it must have a certain reputation. .

But having said that, since Nuoshan Publishing House is headquartered in an island country according to what Wang Jiaxuan said, as the president of the publishing house, how can he still have time to participate in this event? Could it be that there are such die-hard fans?Ran all the way from the island country to Yangcheng just to have a meal with Su Shichen?

Su Shichen thought he didn't have such a great charm, so there should be some other things.

"Is Nuoshan Publishing House involved in the comics industry?" Su Shichen asked.

Wang Jiaxuan replied: "No, the main publications of Nuoshan Publishing House are science fiction, mystery, and horror novels."

Immediately afterwards, Wang Jiaxuan asked: "Su Da, do you know the novel market in the island country?"

"Know a little bit." Su Shichen replied, he still has a good understanding of the island country's novel market.

The novel market of the island country on Earth in the previous life can be said to be extremely powerful. This strength is not only reflected in the purchasing power, but also in the influence of the cultural industry.

The island country can compete with the United States in animation, and even has far greater influence in Asia than the United States.

There are also novels. Just saying that the complete names of the awards for each novel are not comparable in China, especially the three themes of science fiction, horror, and reasoning. Of course, Japanese pure love novels are also very developed, but pure love is the main genre. It is reflected in mobile phone reading, that is, Japanese e-books, which have not really made much effort in publishing.

The situation in this world is almost the same as that of the Earth in the previous life, but what does Wang Jiaxuan mean by asking this question?

Su Shichen noticed some signs, and as expected, Wang Jiaxuan said, "The level of Sherlock Holmes and Murder on the Orient Express is very high. Have you ever thought about publishing it in an island country? Although the island country has no way to compare with domestic countries in terms of population and size, but Mystery novels are more influential in island countries than in China."

Wang Jiaxuan's participation in this [Appropriate Dating] event is really not as simple as meeting him for dinner.

There is one thing to explain, Wang Jiaxuan's words just now are not xenophobic, she is telling the truth, you need to know one thing -

The island country is the world's largest mystery novel country!

Yes, you read that right, the world’s number one mystery country is not the country where Ed Lunpo, the originator of mystery novels, is located, nor is it the United Kingdom where the two masters of mystery novels, Conan Doyle and Christie, are located, let alone the country France, which has the Phantom Thief Robin series, is an island country separated from China by a strip of water!

When European mystery novels have declined and the tradition of the golden age has quietly come to an end, island country mystery novels have risen strongly. The "New Age of Youth" led by famous masters such as Edogawa Ranpo and Koga Saburo, etc. At that time, it was like the political situation in the Warring States Period of Japan, where there were many powerful people.

After the end of the Warring States Period, the novelists of the "Jewel Age" represented by Henggou Masashi and Takagi Toshimitsu injected vitality into the mystery novel circle of the island country.

Afterwards, the "Phantom City Era" rose and ended, and then came the hot "New Honge Era" in the new century. Under the advocacy of Shimada Shoji, the Neo-Honge School has been brought to the extreme, and it goes without saying that the new author's efforts to dig out For example, the island country also has a special award called the Mephisto Award, which is set up to discover newcomers.

There are awards for mystery novels. For professional awards alone, there are Edogawa Ranpo Award, Mystery Writers Association Award, Mephisto Award, Matsumoto Seicho Award, etc., which can be described as countless.

Of course, the most direct proof is that one of the world's three great masters of mystery novels is Seicho Matsumoto of the island country, and the other two are Conan Doyle and Queen Christie, who created "Detective Sherlock Holmes".

Although the cultural background of this world is not exactly the same as that of the previous earth, it is still roughly the same. To sum it up, it can be summed up in one sentence: In terms of the prosperity of mystery novels, China and the island country are not at the same level at all.

Wang Jiaxuan saw that Su Shichen didn't speak, and continued to speak: "Su Da, I heard that your company is very anxious to publish your works such as The Matrix and Sherlock Holmes to the United States, but the negotiations all ended in failure."

Wang Jiaxuan seemed to be afraid of Su Shichen's disappointment, so she quickly added a sentence: "Of course, this does not prove that there is a problem with your ability, Su Da. Sherlock Holmes and the Murder on the Orient Express are completely epic works, even in Europe and America. Among the classics, the reason for the failure, I think, is because you, Su Da, are not famous enough."

Wang Jiaxuan is definitely a very good lobbyist, and his words are set in one set: "Su Da, your reputation in the country can be said to be unrivaled. Of course, Chu Da is about to retire. We don't count him, but Su Da Your fame is only limited to the country, not to mention the country of America, even in the University of Su in Asia, your reputation is not outstanding, you also know the surnames of those ghosts in the University of Su, the country of the United States is the vane of world entertainment, flaunting freedom Reading ability, but in fact they still have discrimination in their bones, but if you, University of Su, conquer the island country and use the island country as the foundation to attack the world literary world, then the situation will be different."

In the Asian culture industry, there are only island countries, South Korea, and China. If you conquer these three countries, you can say that you have conquered the whole of Asia. The most important ones are China and the island countries. It is the largest overseas voter, and the island country is the second largest economy in Asia. As for South Korea, it can only be used as a copy.

In China, Su Shichen is already well-known all over the country. According to the plan he made for himself, the next step is really to conquer Japan, thereby becoming famous in Asia, and going to America from the whole of Asia.

In fact, Wang Ni also knows this, but what she considers is the entire company. For the company, it is more beneficial to quickly open up the European and American markets than to develop slowly step by step. I am very confident that it is through the fusion of these two points that Wang Ni formulated such an aggressive plan, so she suffered a moderate blow. Until now, "The Collection of Sherlock Holmes" has not found a suitable one in the United States. publishing house.

"The development of Su University in China can be said to have hit a bottleneck. It's time to go abroad." Wang Jiaxuan's words deeply moved Su Shichen.

Naturally, Wang Jiaxuan also saw that Su Shichen was moved, so he continued to say: "Although Sherlock Holmes' style of writing is European and American, he can still be eaten in island countries. I can guarantee this, as the president of Nuoshan Publishing House. .”

Su Shichen has no doubts about this point. In his previous life on Earth, "Sherlock Holmes" was popular in the island country. Just look at the name of the Wannian elementary school student——Edogawa Conan...and Shimada Shoji's "Astrology Killing Magic" and so on, many mystery novels in the island country pay tribute to Conan Doyle, not to mention those imitations. The influence of Sherlock Holmes in the island country is evident!

"Jiajia, wait a minute. Aunt Wang has always been in charge of the publication of my works. I will call Aunt Wang and let the three of us talk in detail."

Wang Jiaxuan nodded, indicating that she could wait.

Su Shichen is not relying on Wang Ni, it's just that as the saying goes, there is a specialization in the art industry, if there is no Wang Ni to help solve various problems in the distribution, even if he has a century of wealth in his head, he will be very distressed, Su Shichen Shi Chen's full-time career is a writer rather than a businessman.

After a while, Wang Ni came over, very efficient, and Su Shichen explained to her the ins and outs of the matter.

Wang Ni looked at Su Shichen a little strangely, it was really strange, holding an event, and then met a fan, and even met the president of the publishing house, and it was a publishing house with a relatively large influence in Japan. It's a weird thing.

Su Shichen only knew that Nuoshan Publishing House was relatively famous in the island country, so he didn't know the detailed information. After Wang Ni knew the ins and outs of the matter, she quickly called up the detailed information of Nuoshan Publishing House from nowhere.

Nuoshan Publishing House was founded in 04 and it has been more than ten years now. Its main business is to translate good works from China to island countries, or to translate good works from island countries to China. It is worth mentioning that Chu Xing has many Nuoshan Publishing House is the agent for the sales rights of the works in the island country. No wonder Su Shichen thinks this Nuoshan Publishing House is familiar. It turned out that he had seen this name when he was investigating the books written by Chu Xing.

"I have no doubts about the distribution channels of your publishing house, but as far as I know, the promotion channels are not very good." The sales volume of "Millennium" in China is very good, and the sales volume in the island country published by your publishing house is only one-twentieth of the sales volume in China, I remember correctly about this."

The "Millennium" written by Dasha is a science fiction genre. Although science fiction in the island country is not as popular as mystery novels, it is still very developed. The sales volume of a book is less than one-twentieth of that in China. This is enough to prove that Nuoshan Publishing There is a problem with the company's propaganda.

Wang Jiaxuan didn't panic at all, and explained slowly: "For "Millennium", we did have some small mistakes in publicity, but the main reason for the lack of sales is that the style of "Millennium" is not suitable for the island country, so in the island country sales have been sluggish."

"But is the style of "Sherlock Holmes" necessarily suitable for an island country?"

One of Wang Ni's questions stumped Wang Jiaxuan. From her professional point of view, although the style of "Sherlock Holmes" is westernized, it can definitely be adapted to the island market. Is it really feasible for a newcomer to enter the island market with "The Collection of Sherlock Holmes"?

Although it can be found no matter how deep the gold is buried in the sand, the key to the problem is how long it takes to clean the sand on the gold, so that the light of the gold can be seen by people.

"Actually, I have a way to make "Sherlock Holmes" popular in the island country with a very small price." Su Shichen, who hadn't interrupted all this time, opened his mouth. This opening can be said to be earth-shattering.

Su Shichen is absolutely top-notch in terms of publicity, and there are quite a few ghost ideas in his head.

"What way?" Wang Ni and Wang Jiaxuan asked in unison.

"The way is..."
