Chapter 421 is synthesized?
"Perhaps you don't know that our "Mr. Holmes" is very well-known in the UK, Ireland, New Zealand, and Australia." Guo Dafa opened his mouth and said, "In 2016 and 2015, for two consecutive years Published in Australia It ranks in the top 10 of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and topped Statistics New Zealand's book market sales list in 2015. We can provide relevant information. "
The film and television company has certainly investigated clearly that this book is sold overseas. It also has pretty good popularity.
But what does this have to do with me, Fat Tiger? Manager Jin of the other company didn’t understand.
“It may not be understandable when I say this,” Guo Dafa explained in another way, “Because this book has attracted much attention overseas, and the remake into a TV series will definitely be reported by media in various countries.”
"What...what is this?" Manager Jin's voice suddenly rose.
Guo Dafa said, "This item can be written into the contract, and we will provide appropriate publicity in the UK, Australia and other countries."
In an instant, a bunch of words exploded in my mind. Open, "export to domestic sales", "the most anticipated drama series in Europe and the United States" and "Yoke Media creates international-level drama series".
"Really?" Manager Jin immediately asked, "How appropriate is appropriate publicity?"
"The discussion was discussed by at least two newspapers and media in countries such as Kangaroo Country and Dayang. It is not the level of a fly tabloid. ." Guo Dafa responded.
Of course, this is not Guo Dafa's bragging. The main reason is that Mr. Holmes is too special in the sequence of Gu Lu's works. The domestic reputation is limited, but it is well-known in English-speaking cultural areas. The Doyle family believes that the title of Sherlock Holmes as the best second-generation novel is not for nothing.
Hollywood movies released this year have grossed more than 300 million US dollars at the global box office. He is well-known, and if Guo Dafa just trades with Dayao Py to trigger a wave of news, the reports will naturally come.
"I need to discuss it with the boss." Manager Jin was a little moved, but it exceeded the budget (3 million) and was not something he could decide.
"Then let's wait for the good news from Yaoke Media."
Hang up the phone, Guo Dafa sighed happily. The five-year film and television rights can basically be sold for four million. .
Time is a time limit, and the film must be filmed within five years (there are also cases where this clause is not written, and it is purely for copyright protection). When the copyright expires, you can buy it again. For example, the copyright of Guo Dafa's earliest sold short story "Bring Her Eyes" has expired.
The sigh is that Guo Dafa is half an insider, and the production team of Yaoke Media is relatively ordinary.
“This is equivalent to exchanging Teacher Da Gu’s fame for money. That is to say, Teacher Da Gu’s reputation has continued to rise since his return, otherwise the value of the copyright will not be sustained at all.” Guo Dafa even wants to win-win with money and word of mouth. .
But looking at the copyrights sold -
"Flowers for Algernon" is not easy to adapt.
Short stories such as "Yesterday's Park", "Bring Her Eyes", "Mountain", "Country Teacher", and "Akechi Kogoro Detective Series" are too short and need to be filled with a lot of content.
The only feature that is easier to adapt, The Devotion of Suspect X, is still being filmed.
In this case, Guo Dafa is very well-known in the publishing circle, but in the film and television drama circle, his voice is relatively weak.
But with the martial arts masterpiece, the new book "From the New World", which is about to be serialized on the Internet, and the Chinese and Japanese versions of Suspect in production, Guo Dafa feels that there is hope!
Only when people have hope for life can they be motivated. The bustling pedestrians on Haidian Street always feel that their faces do not have the enthusiasm and enthusiasm that people in the 1980s and 1990s had on their faces. They have obviously been eating meat, eggs and milk since they were young. level, conditions are better now.
Maybe it was the filter of the times, but Gu Lu was hit by a rampaging delivery boy on the road. The panic and difficulty on the boy's face made his young face look old-fashioned.
"Sorry, sorry..." The guy in yellow clothes apologized quickly.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm fine. Are you rushing to order?" Gu Lu glanced at the pig's trotter rice that had been spilled on the ground.
Stewed chicken, Shaxian snacks and pig's trotter rice should be a three-piece set familiar to migrant workers.
"The order is going to be late, so I have to hurry up. I'm really sorry." After the delivery boy repeatedly made sure that Gu Lu was okay, he went to the barber shop nearby to borrow a broom.
Gu Lu glanced at his phone and saw that it was still early, so he also helped clean it up.
During the period, the two chatted for two or three minutes, mainly because the younger brother complained that the takeout time was getting shorter and shorter.
After cleaning up, the two of them said goodbye without adding any contact information, or even exchanging last names.
Gu Lu took another twenty steps forward, and a familiar voice sounded in his mind, synthetic trigger?
[Background World War I] [British Number One Bestseller] [King of All-Night Novels] Synthesis of "Fall of Giants"
Details: The first part of the Century Trilogy, a masterpiece with a total of more than a thousand pages, breaking the unspoken rule that the total number of million-selling books is no more than 500 pages, and the magnificent history of five families.
"No, this? Ah this?" Gu Lu looked at the direction of the street, the direction where the takeaway boy left just now.
Life is full of surprises.
“I really want to know how the chat between me and the delivery boy just now triggered a book with a background of World War I?” Gu Lu couldn’t understand.
He visited the World War I photo exhibition and paid a special fee to hire a tour guide. At school, he even visited a Peking University history professor who studied World War I and World War II, but nothing came of it.
"Okay, if I hadn't gone out today, I don't know that it would only be triggered in the year of the monkey and the month of the horse. Anyway, the strange girl brings me good luck."
Gu Lu decided in his heart that he would hurry up and watch "The Fall of the Giant" when he got home. I really want to know what kind of books are similar in content when I chatted with the delivery boy for two or three minutes just now.
It’s just almost 600,000 words in length, which is indeed a difficulty.
Gu Lu gathered his mood and walked towards the building of E World Wealth Financial Center where they agreed to meet.
Why go there? While Gu Lu was still thinking about how to tease out Zhou Lin's interests and hobbies, he received a call, "Gulu, are there any classes in the afternoon? If there are no classes, we will meet in the E center."
Arriving at the place five minutes earlier than the agreed time, King Gulu sent a message: "Where are you?" ]
It is worth noting that Gu Lu sent a message to Zhou Lin as soon as he left school more than 20 minutes ago, saying that he was there.
The reply I received was [Zhou Lin: We will be there soon, we can already see the building. ]
"Here, here." About a few minutes later, a panting female voice came from the back of the head.
I turned around and saw that it was Zhou Lin. Today she was wearing a black sportswear. It didn’t matter whether it could highlight her figure. It matched the fine sweat on her forehead and her face was flushed. It looked like Sweeter than the red tip of a peach.
"Why, did you sprain your ankle today? Or did you forget to wear headphones when you went out?" Gu Lu preemptively said, "I've been waiting for half an hour."
"Ahem, I saw a kitten looking for me on the main road. I just helped the mother cat." Zhou Lin explained awkwardly, and then she changed the subject, "Did you know that in the north, if it's too cold, the tips of the cat's ears will freeze off? ?”
Huh? Gu Lu only knew that the tips of the cat's ears were very cold. Why would they freeze off?
"Then the frozen ears became our favorite snacks, cat ears." After Zhou Lin finished speaking, she giggled to herself.
"..." What kind of nonsense is this? Gu Lu smiled to save his face.
"Let's talk about serious matters," Zhou Lin said, "I just got a piece of news in the high school class group..."
The two of them were not in the same class in high school. Gu Lu waited for the next sentence. What did he hear? The news needs to be told to him specially.
“The school dug out a box during construction, which is said to be a time capsule buried by a certain class of graduates from 2014 to 2015.” Zhou Lin said, “I remember you told me, Gulu, that the students in your class Did it too. Did you dig it out?"< br>
“Huh?” The memory of his death was attacking Gu Lu, and he said uncertainly, “It seems like it wasn’t dug out?”
Because Gu Lu didn’t study in the second semester of his senior year of high school, of course. He definitely got his diploma, but he didn't get his time capsule.
Gu Lu even forgot what he filled in. "Then it should be your class 10, because only the innovation class has a special mechanism that separates the second and third years of high school, so you can buy a time capsule." Zhou Lin analyzed, after all, if it is the rocket class and the ordinary class, the students will come and go, and the changes will be quite big. .
“My high school group doesn’t know the specific situation.” Zhou Lin said, “In addition to cutting the knife in front of me, I also help with takeout sharing and Ctrip assistance. Usually there is no group to talk to. I woke up from my nap today and chatted with hundreds of messages."
"Wait a minute, I'll call and ask." Gu Lu must be asking Teacher Gao.
No surprise, the two iron boxes were indeed planted by Teacher Gao from Class 10.
The reason why it was revealed just now is really full of surprises. The reason why the class of 2014 (Gu Lu's class) didn't dig it out was because a marital crisis broke out in the teacher's family, and he forgot about it due to the accident.
When I think about it, it will be too late. Teacher Gao will just make the mistake and make a five-year appointment. It makes sense to wait five years for the students to come back and collect them. At the same time, the next class of students (2015) also buried the time capsule.
How is Teacher Gao’s situation going forward? Very decadent. The students in the class of 2015 forgot to dig it out during their senior year of high school, let alone the five-year appointment.
"I'm sorry. It's all due to my personal mental state that caused Xiao Gu and the students to miss a moment that is very useful for youth." Teacher Gao apologized on the phone.
“It’s okay, it’s okay, we buried it in 2011, and now it’s 2019, eight years ago.” Gu Lu said with a smile, “It’s good, I feel more meaningful. I’ll come back to get it on National Day. Teacher Gao, please pay attention to your health.”
After chatting with Teacher Gao for a few words, Gu Lu hung up the phone. Now he was eager to know what he had written eight years ago.
"So, can you take me with you when you go back to get it on National Day?" Zhou Lin asked.
"What are you going to do..." He's not from Class 8. The second half of the sentence was swallowed up by Gu Lu. He's not a fool without emotional intelligence, "Want to go back to your alma mater?"
< br>"On the one hand, there is another important reason." Zhou Lin said.
“What’s the reason?” Gu Lu asked.
Zhou Lin said, "I want to know what you wrote eight years ago, Guru. I want to know more about it. Otherwise, why do you think I came here to tell you this news?"
Eh? !
"Ahem." The eloquent Gu Lu suddenly didn't know how to respond. He would definitely not refuse.
But promise... just promise? Need to say something else?
“I remember someone promised me that as soon as I became the secretary-general of the Global Model United Nations, he would give me a gift [that I would definitely be satisfied with].” Zhou Lin said, “I have overfulfilled my task. Although I lost in the Model United Nations competition this year, I won the internal recommendation.”
"Next year, I will take over the post of McCall of Yale University as the Secretary-General of the Model United Nations for one year, and I will also speak at the United Nations Youth Congress." Zhou Lin said.
I don’t quite understand this rule. It probably translates to losing the game, but forming a gang to rebel? Gu Lu thought to himself that the other party was indeed powerful. Peking University, where there are many great people, is also a ruthless place.
"I want this as the prize." Seeing that the other party was still thinking, Zhou Lin said directly.
Why are today’s strange girls so proactive?
Wait a minute, Gu Lu suddenly thought, it seems that the other party has always taken the initiative.
When he first entered university, he didn't really want to go out. It was Zhou Lin who took him to eat various delicacies near Peking University. Because compared to him who entered school a year later, Zhou Lin, who was already a sophomore at the time, knew a lot about nearby food shops. Except for one mistake, all the other recommended restaurants were delicious.
To put it more bluntly, Zhou Lin has always understood him.
"The time capsule written by the first year of high school is not a secret. Let's go see it together on National Day. The gift is not included." Gu Lu responded.
Hearing this, Zhou Lin was very happy, because it was a rare initiative to take the initiative towards the dull and closed-minded master.
"OK, sisters are happy today and treat you to a big dinner." Zhou Lin said.
Gu Lu did not respond immediately, but thought for a while before speaking, "Today is the 20th, right? It's the end of the month for you, right? Do you still have money to treat me to dinner?"
"… ..." Zhou Lin paused, took out her mobile phone and checked her WeChat and Alipay balances. After finishing this meal, she probably lost all of them.
If you say it out loud, it is a show of confidence that cannot be withdrawn. Zhou Lin said, "It seems you don't know. I have recently started some side business and am quite wealthy, so I opened my mouth to eat today."< br>
“Really?”
“Required.”
Okay, Gu Lu was not polite and came to Haidilao with the strange girl. Mainly because I want to eat hot pot. For Sijiucheng, Haidilao may be the most authentic.
The strange girl seems to have a bad appetite today. Normally Maodu and Huanghou would order double portions of hers, but not today.
"Why do you have a bad appetite?" Zhou Lin said, "I'm serious, we are not short of money. We shouldn't order half portions of duck tongue and pangasius, they are what you like to eat."
< br>"Recently, I have eaten too much cheese, so my stomach has shrunk." Gu Lu said that his appetite is not as big as before.
Real or fake? Can eating cheese reduce food intake? Zhou Lin cast a curious look.
Gu Lu shared his bad relationship with cheese, which made Zhou Lin laugh out loud.
“I remember you love cheese, right?” Gu Lu said.
“I don’t like to eat.” Zhou Lin said immediately, “Don’t expect me to help you solve your bad fate!”
“I don’t believe it, then what do you like to eat.”
"What do you like to eat? I like rabbit meat and pickled fish. I also like spicy food. Anyway, I like spicy food." Zhou Lin replied.
With a few silent nods, Gu Lu successfully collected information for the first time, a good start.
Zhou Lin was three-thirds full and Gu Lu was half-full. They walked out of Haidilao.
The former shows a lack of appetite, while the latter shows that he is full. In terms of acting skills, King Gulu is even better.
Oh, by the way, America is busy today too.
The literary channel of today's Los Angeles Times newspaper has a one-sentence notice: "Gu Lu, the author of The Shawshank Redemption, has a new work called White Bear, which will be serialized tomorrow."
Many people may not know who Gu Lu is, but they will know it after adding The Shawshank Redemption. This is why books are more popular than people.
The work is more famous than the author. It is common in the literary and art circles, so there is no need to be surprised.
No matter what, the Los Angeles Times got 60% of the traffic. After all, with the Internet statistical technology so advanced today, the data is clear at a glance.
It’s growth.
