Chapter 910 Antarctic Ice Sheet... Chinese website
Lin Fan was having a lively storytelling session - no, it was a script reading session. On the other hand, Yang Hongxia had already contacted the publishing house to publish the two novels "The Investiture of the Gods" and "Journey to the West".
But before it was finalized, a man suddenly came in halfway.
Qiu Guanglei, the person in charge of Penguin Platform.
When Yang Hongxia received the appointment from Qiu Guanglei, she really didn't remember who this person was, but the other party was introduced by Yang Hongxia's acquaintance. No matter what, Yang Hongxia still wanted to meet him first.
As soon as they met, Qiu Guanglei didn't waste any words and went straight to the point: "Mr. Yang, I heard from Mr. Qi of Hanhai Publishing House that Director Lin has two very excellent works to be printed and published. This time I came here to ask Mr. Yang whether Director Lin has considered publishing online and in print at the same time?"
"Online?" Yang Hongxia didn't react at once.
Qiu Guanglei explained: "It's like this, Mr. Yang, have you ever heard of the Antarctic Ice Sheet Chinese website?"
Antarctic ice sheet?
Yang Hongxia was familiar with the name: "Of course I've heard of it. Antarctic Ice Cap is the most prestigious literary website in China. Let's not talk about anything else. Every year, at least 60% of the film and television dramas launched in the entertainment industry have their copyrights purchased from Antarctic Ice Cap."
There are also many film and television production companies that have a special department that spends every day squatting on the Antarctic ice sheet to see if there are any works suitable for adaptation into film and television dramas, and then try to buy them to enrich their own company's script library.
Of course, Yang Hongxia doesn't need to look for a needle in a haystack because she has Lin Fanzai who can continuously provide excellent original scripts.
But this does not affect Yang Hongxia's understanding of this website.
"Yes." Qiu Guanglei did not beat around the bush. "Mr. Yang must also know that our website is one of the largest in China. If Director Lin can publish his works on our website, it will be a win-win situation for both Director Lin and us.
Maybe you, Mr. Yang, don't have much contact with our circle, so when Director Lin's literary works came out, you subconsciously chose to print and publish them. But in fact, the number of people who read physical books now is very different from the number of people who read e-books.
I'm not bragging, Mr. Yang, as long as Director Lin publishes his works on our website, whether it's cultivating the market or cultivating the audience, the effect will definitely be several times greater than simply printing and publishing!"
The reason why Qiu Guanglei said these words directly was that he had inquired about Lin Fan's various news in advance.
According to the news Qiu Guanglei received, Lin Fan had published a total of three comics, each of which was intended to be used to launch a film or TV series in order to cultivate the market in advance.
Of course, it’s not that Lin Fan doesn’t publish comics but directly launches TV series and movies. For example, there is no related comic for the movie “Roman Holiday”.
But there is a clear difference between works with comics and those without.
There are comic works: "A Chinese Ghost Story", "Butterfly Lovers", "The Legend of White Snake", and the currently serialized "Journey to the West".
Works without comics: A Little Thing Called First Love, My Own Swordsman, and Roman Holiday.
The former are all works with traditional Chinese romantic colors, telling stories about gods, immortals, demons, monsters, ghosts, and monsters in the Chinese mythology system.
The latter are works that are closer to modern life and tell stories about people. The latter can be quickly accepted by the public because they are part of life.
As for the former, it will inevitably take some time to accept it. Once you accept the settings in Lin Fan's works and recognize the core content and ideas conveyed by Lin Fan, these works will burst out with stronger charm and potential.
If such a work could be adapted into a novel and published on his own website, Qiu Guanglei believed that Lin Fan would definitely be able to gain a large number of loyal fans of the original work and bring huge benefits in terms of money and honor to the Antarctic ice sheet.
At the same time, it can also help Lin Fan to cultivate the film and television drama market he needs. Qiu Guanglei thinks Yang Hongxia will not refuse this best of both worlds.
So, Qiu Guanglei came.
"As long as Director Lin is willing to publish his work on the Antarctic ice sheet, our website guarantees to provide Director Lin with the highest level of publicity and promotion channels and resources, including promotion, strong promotion, editor-in-chief recommendation, and even full-site advertising. Mr. Yang, this is precise promotion. The users of our website will definitely not be less than Director Lin's fans. Just think about it, if you want to achieve such an effect by just publishing a print version, how much money would you have to spend on advertising? But on our website, you only need to set it up in the background."
Qiu Guanglei's offer was very generous, and Yang Hongxia was very tempted, but she had to say something up front: "Mr. Qiu, in fact, with the appeal of Lin Fan's fans, even if we only publish the print version, the sales and dissemination of these two works will not be bad."
Qiu Guanglei smiled and nodded. This was one of the reasons why he took the initiative to come to ask for cooperation. After all, the website was not opened by Qiu Guanglei himself. Even if he admired Lin Fan, he had to consider how much profit this matter could bring to the website.
Even though Lin Fan is very popular in the entertainment industry, Qiu Guanglei would not have come today if he could not bring benefits to the website.
Lin Fan's huge fan base means that no matter what he does, there will be a large number of fans paying for him. The only difference is whether this payment behavior is one-time or permanent.
Obviously, Lin Fan belongs to the latter.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Just looking at Penguin Comics, every time Lin Fan releases a new work, the sales of the entire website will go up a level, which shows how willing Lin Fan’s fans are to spend money on him.
After all, the audience of comics is much narrower than that of novels. Qiu Guanglei does not ask Lin Fan to drive the profitability of the entire website. As long as Lin Fan's fans are willing to pay, he will make a fortune.
Seeing that Qiu Guanglei agreed with her point of view, Yang Hongxia couldn't help but smile a little brighter: "So, whether or not to publish it on your website is just icing on the cake for us, and it can't play a decisive role."
Qiu Guanglei didn't say anything because he knew Yang Hongxia hadn't finished speaking.
Yang Hongxia changed the subject: "However, since Mr. Qiu has come to discuss this matter in person, we have to give this honor to Mr. Qiu. And Mr. Qiu, you also said that this matter is mutually beneficial to both of our two families.
So, it shouldn't be too much for me to make a small request, right?"
"Boss Yang, you say."
You speak first and I listen first. As for whether to agree or not in the end, we will talk about it later.
Yang Hongxia smiled and said, "I'll just say it straight. I hope that when the online serialization of Journey to the West and Investiture of the Gods is completed, your website can launch an online event in which participants can create secondary works based on these two works."
