Chapter 106 Overseas Release, Cultural Export

"Xiao Xi, I got the role for you."

"Ah? Uncle, really?" Meng Xi was in disbelief. She didn't expect it to be so smooth.

"Of course, when have I ever lied to you?"

In the office, Wu Hai played with the tea pet in his hand and said with a smile:

"There is nothing in this world that cannot be solved by money and power. I originally thought that some means would be used, but I didn't expect Cheng Cheng to be so sensible. Haha, the people on the Internet say that he is so arrogant and unruly, but that's just a fight at his level."

As he spoke, the corners of his mouth raised, with a look of disdain.

Meng Xi couldn't help but complimented:

"Uncle, of course you are different! Although Lu Zhuofeng is a director, how can he compare with you! You are the vice president of Boli Video, how dare Cheng Cheng offend you! With you here, I don't have to be afraid of anything!"

Wu Hai said proudly:
"Haha, of course! In this circle, we have as many resources as we want. Xiaoxi, just focus on acting. Cheng Cheng is quite good at acting, if nothing else."

Meng Xi: "Okay uncle, I will listen to you!"

-

A certain club.

You Qing, the prince of Yunsheng Real Estate, hung up the phone, turned to Lin Jia in his arms, and said calmly:

"It's done! Wait for notification. Shinhwa Company will send the script and contract to you in a few days!"

Lin Jia covered his mouth and said in surprise: "Ah? Really? It's done so quickly?"

You Qing smiled contemptuously: "Of course, there is nothing strange about this. As long as I take action, there is nothing that cannot be solved. The so-called Cheng Cheng dare not offend me."

Lin Jia looked at him tenderly and offered him a kiss:

"Boss You, I love you so much! You're so good to me!"

“Hahahaha!” You Qing laughed loudly, “You are my girlfriend! Of course I won’t treat you badly when you are with me! And you can become famous, so I will feel proud when I take you out.”

Lin Jia: "You are so domineering, I like it so much~"

-

At the same time, the director of a TV station and a senior executive of Tianying also received calls.

They all nodded with satisfaction, but they were not grateful for Cheng Cheng's sacrifice and concession. They just felt that their power had once again played a role.

-

On February 2, a week later, "Love Apartment" and "The Chinese Paladin" simultaneously announced open auditions for the whole society, which once again caused quite a stir in the industry.

At the same time, three other pieces of news came out from Shinhwa Entertainment this week, all of which shocked the entertainment industry.

2. "All or Nothing" was introduced to many countries around the world, including Malaysia, Temasek, and the Maple Leaf Country, a few years ago, and was released around February 17. The box office results have been reported back to China.

Among them, Temasek had the best box office performance. In this country with a total population of just over 3000 million, the box office on the first day was 34 Temasek dollars, which is equivalent to 182 million RMB. Although it is far less than that in China, the box office in just three days has already entered the 20th place in the Temasek Chinese film overall ranking!

There is nearly a month left in the release period, and it is estimated that it will be able to break the total box office record of Temasek Chinese films!
Malaysia was not far behind, with the first day box office converted into RMB being 101 million. There were also Siam and Sulu. It can be said that except for Wattie which was not released, the box office performance of "All or Nothing" was not bad.

The popularity of All or Nothing overseas, especially in Southeast Asia, has sparked enthusiastic discussions among netizens:

“Hahahahahahaha, Frog’s movie made Wadi sweat profusely. Several neighboring countries have watched this movie. Aren’t they all united against Wadi?” “It’s mainly because Wadi didn’t handle this well! It’s too dark! Damn it, which of the neighboring countries has not been harmed by it? They have all suffered greatly from it.”

“Wadi: Yes, I was isolated because of a movie.”

"Cheng Cheng, don't travel to Wadi anymore. Seriously. I'm afraid something might happen. Hahahaha!"

"A good movie is a good movie no matter where it is shown, especially in our East Asian circle, where everyone has a common aesthetic. In the past, they were all vassal states of our Tianxia. What's more, this anti-fraud movie has too many common topics."

The media also reported it extensively, but the headlines were much more exaggerated:
"All or Nothing" is a global hit! It is well received by overseas audiences, and the global box office may exceed 40 billion yuan" - Imperial Bay News
"It's a big hit abroad! All or Nothing has exploded at the overseas box office and resonated with the audience" - Overseas Observation

"All or Nothing" became a hit overseas, Temasek box office was higher than "Ching Su", 45 people watched the movie" - Xiaguan News

What a coincidence, "Qing Su" is a movie by Lu Zhuofeng. He did not mention "All or Nothing" among so many other movies, but chose to pick out "Qing Su". I can only say that Xiaguan News will provoke a fight.

2. "A Little Thing Called First Love" has been confirmed to be introduced into several countries including Japan, Peninsula, and Serbia, and is expected to be released next month.

Tianxia netizens are very much looking forward to the response to "A Little Thing Called First Love" after it is broadcast on Neon and Peninsula.

In the past few years, not only in the Tianxia film market, but also in Neon and Tianxia, ​​there have not been many qualified youth romance films. It seems that the aesthetic downgrade is happening all over the world. It is not easy for Tianxia to have such a work. Tianxia netizens also hope that Neon and Peninsula can also have a taste of this fine product, so that they can also be shocked and envious.

3. The battle for the copyright of "The Little Prince" in Japan has come to an end.

After a fierce competition, the Japanese agency rights of "The Little Prince" were won by Xiaoxue Publishing House, one of the three giants of Japanese publishing houses.

When Shogakukan was first established, it targeted primary school students and edited and published learning magazines classified by school year. Later, it established educational magazines for primary school teachers. Now it has developed from children's magazines to general magazines. It also edits and publishes novels, practical books, picture albums, etc.

It can be said that The Little Prince fully meets their requirements.

This is also the reason why they tried their best to obtain the agency rights of "The Little Prince".

The mode of cooperation between Chengcheng and Xiaoxue Publishing House is "royalty system", and the calculation formula is: royalty = actual number of copies sold × actual price per copy × royalty rate.

The publishing house is responsible for publishing, distribution and promotion, while Cheng Cheng receives ongoing sales revenue based on actual royalties.

一般而言，普通作者版税率基本是5%~8%，出名的作家版税率是8%~12%，大咖级别的收入抽成是15%~18%。

But Xiaoxue Publishing House gave an incredible royalty rate of 22%!

This condition is simply beyond common sense!
It should be noted that this calculation is 22% of the book sales, not 22% of the profits. After deducting multiple costs such as channels, manpower, printing, etc., the publisher's profits are likely to reach a 1:1 ratio with Cheng Cheng.

So much so that when another publishing house that failed in the competition learned of this number, it criticized Xiaoxue Publishing House in the media for being too preferential to Cheng Cheng, a Chinese, and for having lost the backbone and principles of a Japanese.

But there is actually a reason for this.

The first was that a certain editor-in-chief of the Primary School Press liked the book so much that he called it "a book that one must read once in one's life". He also wrote a preface for "The Little Prince". In order to print this preface together with "The Little Prince" and spread it throughout Japan, he was determined to get it.

Second, Cheng Cheng took full charge of the translation of the novel.

The gift package of "The Little Prince" includes translations from various countries, so there is no need for Xiaoxue Publishing House to find local translation agencies or translation experts to cooperate with. Moreover, Cheng Cheng's translation is the most in line with the reading habits and aesthetic standards of the Japanese market.

These three pieces of news actually make one thing clear in essence, and that is cultural output!

It represents the cultural output of Tianxia culture!

The official is happy to see this, and Tianxia netizens also feel proud.
