Chapter 161: Writing again
"So the acquisition by DreamWorks has no impact on us at all, and it is better than the acquisition by other ambitious people."
After listening to He Guanchang's analysis, Zou Daheng felt that it made sense. He had just been dazzled by the news, but in fact he could think of all this when he calmed down.
It would be a bit bad if Shaw Brothers was acquired by other filmmakers. The reason why they can make money in Hong Kong is because they have their own theater chain. The importance of theater chains is self-evident.
If Shaw Brothers is acquired by someone else, it will likely be the rise of another giant.
"It seems that we also need to have a good relationship with DreamWorks. In the future, our foreign films may have to be screened by DreamWorks theaters." Zou Daheng said with emotion.
DreamWorks' theater chain is too powerful, and its distribution capabilities are too powerful. He can only use two words to describe it: "too powerful". I really don't know how to find other adjectives.
I think it took him a lot of time to get through the Japanese route, but with the help of a general like Bruce Lee, he suffered losses and was deceived, and then slowly found his own channel.
But DreamWorks doesn’t use it at all, it just throws money at it. The current channels are more stable than theirs, incomparable!
"Yes! Raymond, are today's young people so fierce? I feel like I'm getting old, hey! Shao Laozhao, who has been fighting with us for more than ten years, has left the film industry. He left so simply!"
, He Guanchang said sadly.
When Zou Daheng heard what happened to Shao Daheng, he felt a sense of loss in his heart. He and Shao Daheng had been in love and fighting each other for such a long time. Even though they were enemies, they became the people who knew each other best.
When Shao Daheng retired after his success, he also felt a sense of loss. He did not feel as happy as the enemy's departure. Moreover, seeing Shao Daheng prospering in the TV industry, he had various feelings that were difficult to understand.
In the past, he just couldn't stand the decadence and rigidity of Shaw Brothers, so he turned against Shaw Brothers and founded his own film company Golden Harvest. At that time, he was high-spirited and enterprising. But now he doesn't have that spirit anymore, and he will only work in the film industry for the rest of his life.
.
And Shao Daheng, who had always thought he was old, was actually able to open up a bright future in other fields when he was almost eighty years old. He was really convinced now, but of course he would not show it on his face.
Zhao Hong paid no attention to the disturbances outside. After he informed his sister about the acquisition of Shaw Brothers, he stopped interfering. He was contemplating his new novel.
The inspiration for this novel came from his date with Li Zhi in San Francisco, and the movie "Covered Bridge" that he must make.
"The Bridge of Lost Dreams" tells the story of a middle-aged extramarital affair that lasted for four days and was unforgettable until death. The author is Robert James Waller.
This novel is a novel that encourages people to engage in extramarital affairs. I heard that since the release of this novel, the rate of marital infidelity in the United States has greatly increased.
Many women love this novel and regard it as a spiritual guide.
Zhao Hong didn't hold anything back when writing this novel. He just wanted Western women to be more open-minded, hahaha!
This novel was selected by the system, so there would be no trace of it in reality. If he hadn't written it, it would have been buried, which would be a pity.
There is also the fact that the influence of his novels in Asia has reached a critical point. It is time to switch from external to domestic sales. There is a saying that is good, being good in a familiar circle is not a matter of being good, but being good in an unfamiliar circle is what can be done.
people.
Also, if his novels sell well in the United States, his reputation in Southeast Asia will be established. This is the Golden Body.
Zhao Hong's previous novels were very popular in Asia, but they have been tepid in Europe and the United States. There were no hot spots, and sales have been steadily increasing.
His popularity in European and American circles is pitiful, and he is comparable to a third-tier writer! "Covered Bridge of Lost Dreams" is a stepping stone for him to enter the North American market.
This is to ignite his popularity in North America. With the previous few novels as a foundation, he has already accumulated enough in the early stage.
He planned to write this novel carefully, and he planned to write it in both Chinese and English. Fortunately, he had been studying English in the system for the past six months, and now his English is almost as good as that of an English language expert.
There is no problem at all in translating his own novels. Of course, he has learned more than just English in the system, including Japanese, Korean, French, etc.
Now I watch a lot of Japanese movies, and he has no problem at all. Hey! I feel a little sorry that I didn’t know Japanese in the original time and space. I don’t know that I missed a lot of classic lines. Gah gah! Aren’t you arrogant?
Of course, Korean is also good. After all, it’s a pity that some of their movies are on par with Japanese movies! For a girl, there is nothing more exciting than knowing these two foreign languages.
For him now, it is nothing more than mastering two foreign languages. He no longer has the original mood of asking for things but not getting them. It would be too miserable to still live by reading these things after being reborn.
Zhao Hong has been preparing for this novel since March 15th. He does not plan to change the background of this novel. The location is still in the United States. He still cannot make up his mind to write it as a Chinese. After all, the influence of this novel is too great.
Big.
Don't wait until the novel comes out. Europeans and Americans don't like pig's feet because of their yellow skin. However, sales in Asia have soared. Many Chinese have been affected by this novel. From then on, the husband's head is covered with green, which is a sin. This is a crime.
What a sinner!
This is definitely not the Virgin! This is for the sake of sales of the novel, Zhao Hong said in her heart.
There is nothing inconvenient about Asians writing stories about white Americans. In fact, many science fiction writers in Asia set their science fiction novels in the United States. This is to avoid risks.
It's just that romance novels are much rarer in this area. Zhao Hong told the truth that he has not read this novel. Fortunately, there is a movie in the system and he has watched it many times.
From March to the end of April, Zhao Hong ran to the library of the University of Hong Kong whenever he had free time. He recharged himself in real life and read many books about the United States.
Zhao Hong's novel writing is not only plagiarizing the original novel, which is meaningless, but also he can't afford to disgrace that person. It's an unlucky chance that he can have creative ideas that others can't ask for, and he also has to engage in plagiarism. Even in his heart, this
Can't pass any level.
Zhao Hong feels that every book has a soul. Plagiarism is a blasphemy to the original work. What’s others’ is ultimately theirs. Whether it’s the writing style or the emotions between the lines, the plagiarist cannot feel it.
of.
The most important thing is that everyone's style is different. Every novel has the author's personal style. Even if you can write it down verbatim, it will make people doubt you.
This is what Zhao Hong doesn’t want to see the most. You can call him hypocritical. What you want to say is that it is not plagiarism, but what you want to say is still different. At least in this way, he digests these things and makes them his own, and he still spends his money.
Putting a lot of energy into this matter and surpassing the original work is an explanation for yourself and others, right?
When Zhao Hong is not reading, he is waiting on his several beautiful women. How can he leave them empty, lonely and cold towards beauties? This is not a dereliction of duty as a man.
Great resources are not used, isn’t this just standing around doing that?
Zhao Hong is not a monkey trying to control the situation. He does not care about the future. He serves them comfortably.
And he himself enjoyed it.
He often discussed the plot of the novel with his women. Sometimes some of their ideas would make Zhao Hong's eyes light up. Zhao Hong decided not to write this novel into a century-old classic.
Qingxia was the most active in discussions with Zhao Hong. Usually after the two of them had sorted things out, they would chat about the plot of the story. Zhao Hong saw that she was more active than him. Wenqing's problems were too serious.
Chapter completed!
