Seclusion in the Entertainment Industry
Chapter 520
Karon just felt his chest blocked by a stream of anger, unable to go up or down.
Yes, as the editor said, his new work is not worth money at all!
Because most of the time, the so-called film adaptation copyright IP not only buys the quality of a work, but also its traffic.
For example, do the comic books of the superhero series have to be so valuable in terms of content quality?
No, what''s valuable is the popularity of those works. Many people like to see stories like that. Superheroes have become a cultural symbol with a large audience.
That''s why copyright fees for those works are so expensive.
Of course, those works are also excellent. Some superhero stories are really well written and deep, but they don''t play a decisive role. What those film producers like most is its popularity.
But sometimes, a good work may not be popular, and a work of average quality may have a high flow because of the hot topics.
In reality, various uncertain factors lead to a lot of deviations.
For example, Karon''s new work "Avatar" is directly denounced as worthless by the editors, while some very ordinary works related to superheroes can be sold on sale.
This is the cruelty of reality.
After the call with his current editor, Karon kept in touch with other editors he had worked with.
These editors have received proofs of Karon''s new works, so we all know what Karon is doing.
Like the current editor, other people also think that Karon''s new work is not worth money. Some people even don''t bother to talk to him. When they get through, they say they are busy and hang up.
It was very frustrating for Karon.
But he finally saw that his new work was almost impossible to be published commercially.
Then the only thing he can do next is to publish at his own expense!
Although there have been works published at one''s own expense in history, which eventually go against the market and become the model of classic best sellers, such a thing may only happen once or twice in 100000 works, and the probability is too low.
Moreover, self funded publishing needs to invest a lot of money in the early stage, but once the book is not sold well in the later stage, it will lose money.
So in any case, self funded publishing is the last choice when Kalon is desperate. He will not do it easily unless he has to.
After thinking about it, Kalong finally thought of Chen Feng.
That young Oriental man actually said that he wanted to buy the copyright of his works
Maybe Can we talk about it in more detail?
If you can''t publish your works in English, why don''t you publish them in the Oriental Chinese speaking areas first?
What''s more, the young man named Chen Feng is still a film maker. If his work can be made into a film in advance
Although there is still a big gap between Chinese movies and Haolaiwu, at least this is an opportunity!
Thinking of this, Karon turned out the card Chen Feng had given him.
However, the things on the business card are very strange to him. He doesn''t know Chinese and has never heard of the English translation.
“Pingan…… What on earth is this
Thinking for a moment, Karon got up and went out and knocked on the door of a neighbor''s house.
Living next to Kalong is a middle-aged couple who knows Chinese. Kalong has helped them make portraits before, and they have a good relationship. Moreover, both of them have had the experience of studying abroad and speak English well, so he decided to take this business card to ask each other.
If If those people in CHENFENG are really powerful, there should be many people who have heard of them At least, it should be able to find some information on the Internet.
Soon, the door opened, and the middle-aged couple immediately invited him into the room.
They like the portraits that Karon made for them, so they are always grateful to Karon. We all come out to play. It''s rare to meet friends who throw tantrums. Naturally, they have a closer relationship.
After entering the room, the two sides exchanged a few words of greetings, and then Karon directly took out the old business card and asked the other party to help him to have a look and check the origin of the card.
The middle-aged couple were a little confused at first, but after seeing the name clearly on their business card, they were a little shocked.
"Ping an investment? Chen Feng? Ah???! "
Seeing each other''s surprise, Kalon asked curiously, "what''s the matter? Do you know him? Is he really famous? "
"Of course, it''s famous. If it''s true, Chen Feng should be the one who invested in the production of wandering earth!"
"Well, a very powerful filmmaker, in addition to wandering the earth, he has also participated in many classic films, such as crazy stone, crazy racing car, Infernal Affairs, shark beach and so on. Every film has made a lot of money. Now he is a famous big man in our Chinese film circle!"After listening to the other party''s introduction, Karon was really confused.
Although I can guess that Chen Feng will be very rich and know that he is a film maker, I never thought that he was such a famous figure in the Chinese film circle.
So, if this is true, Chen Feng said before that he wanted to buy the copyright of his works, is it true?
All of a sudden, Kalon felt a glimmer of hope.
Next, with the help of the middle-aged couple, Caron successfully found the legitimate resources of the two most classic movies, wandering earth and Infernal Affairs, on the Internet.
Although movies have long been offline in cinemas, they are still on sale on some video websites.
Two films, each 12 yuan, the price is actually very cheap.
Karon happily went back to his room and began to watch Chen Feng''s film.
The wandering earth he saw first!
Because this is actually a Chinese science fiction blockbuster, the theme of science fiction is quite close to his new work, so he decided to see the level of this work first.
In his impression, Chinese movies do not seem to have the ability to make science fiction blockbusters at all.
However, more than two hours later, Kalon''s eyes were bloodshot, but a strange smile appeared on his face.
"Wandering the earth Chinese science fiction movies It''s so beautiful! "
There is no doubt that Karon was also conquered by "wandering earth".
Whether it''s the plot creativity or the special effects of the film, everything is done very well. Even though he can only watch some small English subtitles because of the language barrier, he still feels very shocked and incredible after watching the whole film.
This is Is the level of Chinese sci-fi movies good? It seems that Much higher than I expected!
