Just look, when Jack saw Zhang Qiurui's reply, he was shocked.
It was unknown when Oscar would translate the novel into English, so Jack just took the initiative and agreed to it.
They said that in the future, Warner Bros. could translate any novel Oscar wrote into English and publish it.
"What about the royalty rate?" Zhang Qiurui went straight to the point.
The two novels she wrote overseas both sold millions of copies, but the royalty rate was still 10%, which is a bit unreasonable.
As far as Zhang Qiurui knew later, the highest royalty rate in North America and other regions could reach 39.6. She did not expect to get her royalties all at once, so she had to at least add some to her income bit by bit.
"Oscar, you mentioned this matter. I will mention it later. The royalty rate has been increased to 15% this time. What do you think?" Jack, who was on the other side of the United States, raised the question very cautiously, fearing that the talks would break down and he would have to ask his superiors for instructions.
When I contact Oscar again, I still don’t know when he will go.
"Yes! But from now on, the novels I write will only be sent to you in Chinese version, and you can find someone to translate them yourself." Zhang Qiurui hesitated for a moment, and agreed to the royalties this time because the other party translated for him.
Next time, it won’t be so easy.
"That's no problem." Jack was delighted when he saw Oscar agreed.
Afterwards, Zhang Qiurui sent Jack the contents of the two Chinese versions of the novels "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" and "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End".
Zhang Qiurui condensed these two novels into the essence of 100,000 words, and told Jack that there would be two more to follow, which would completely end the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series of novels.
The first "Pirates of the Caribbean" was promoted and advertised by both Warner Bros. and Disney. Not only did the book become popular, but the author's name also became famous.
After the second and third "Pirates of the Caribbean" films were published and released one after another, its influence was at its peak. Not only did the joint publicity campaign of Warner Bros. and Disney become more fierce, but it also attracted the fanatical pursuit of countless book fans around the world.
Not only did these two works break records in sales, Oscar became a best-selling author overseas.
However, this is all later.
.......
"Boss, the production of Spirited Away has been completed."
"Okay, great! Make a demo and enter it in my name at the 31st Berlin Film Festival."
"Boss, can this animation even be entered into the three major international film festivals? This has never happened before, can it win an award?"
"Everything has a first time. 'Spirited Away' is a production our company put all its efforts into. You know its quality better than I do. Whether or not it wins an award, we have nothing to lose."
........。
Time slowly came to the end of December, and the filming of the two "A Chinese Ghost Story" films was more than half completed.
Cheng Shufen has had an annoying issue that has not been resolved recently.
Earlier, Xingchen Dahai agreed to participate in the 4th Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards Ceremony. She also told the chairman of the jury this news, and the chairman of the jury will present a heavyweight Golden Needle Award to Xingchen Dahai at the 4th Golden Melody Awards.
However, Xingchen Dahai had not contacted her since their last phone call. Now the time for the award ceremony was getting closer and closer, and Cheng Shufen was afraid that something unexpected would happen. After all, Xingchen Dahai was a famous composer and lyricist in the music world today. He had produced an international singing star and his status was extraordinary. His presence was crucial to the award ceremony.
It not only affects the authority of the award, but also affects the attention and influence of the entire event.
This was also Xingchen Dahai's debut appearance. If she broke her promise and was absent from the award ceremony, it would not only embarrass the judging panel, but would also affect her personal reputation. Even as the liaison, she would inevitably suffer.
"Boss, our company's year-end summary meeting is scheduled for nine o'clock in the morning tomorrow. I have already notified those who will be attending the meeting." Chen Jiaying took a notebook and wrote and drew as he reported to Zhang Qiurui about tomorrow's schedule.
"I see.
"Next year will be August 1st, and our company can go to TVB's training class to select artists. We'll start selecting artists in the first half of the year." Zhang Qiurui thought of this and told Chen Jiaying.
"Boss, TVB's training program has been operating full-time, year-round since 1978. Students attend classes during the day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and the courses are divided into four stages.
Phase 1: Basic performance training.
Phase 2: Rehearsing excerpts from classic masterpieces.
The third stage: Select TV clips of different genres from the existing TV series of TVB for rehearsal and teaching.
The fourth stage: two months of performance internship at the company.
If we go to TVB training classes to select artistes in the first half of next year, they will only learn two stages of knowledge, which is not conducive to their all-round development and future acting career.
At least until they have completed the knowledge points of the fourth stage. "Chen Jiaying had worked at TVB and was familiar with the training of the artists in the training class. She gave Zhang Qiurui a very serious analysis.
"It's enough to just learn some basic acting skills. Talented actors often develop their own unique acting style through continuous observation, learning, and practice on set.
We went to TVB training class to select artists too late. Will we still have the chance to be selected as good talents?
Besides, we have so many directors in our company. If they shoot more films for the company and hone their acting skills, they may not be worse than the artists in the training class.
