Speaking of which, since Wu Dong started making films, online authors have become one of the focuses of rapid development in recent years.
It can’t be compared to real estate tycoons, Internet tycoons, or even those in traditional industries.
However, income levels are growing so fast that only high-quality corporate CEOs can surpass top online writers.
The full copyright development led by Star Group is no joke.
In particular, the adaptation of film and television games has greatly increased the income of top online writers.
The emergence of wireless reading bases has given high-quality authors, as well as mid-level authors, the opportunity to earn tens of thousands or even tens of thousands a month.
In 2009, with a monthly income of tens of thousands, what was the concept of a proper urban elite white-collar worker?
There are also anime adaptations and physical book publishing, especially comic physical book publishing, which has made online novel authors even more famous.
It can be said that the income of online novel writers at this time has reached the level in Wu Dong's memory one or five years later.
The fame and influence are also much stronger than what Wu Dong remembered during the same period.
Among other things, the Zhongzhou Provincial Writers Association, with the secret promotion of Xingkong Group, intends to include influential online novel authors.
At this time, no matter in terms of influence or income level, traditional authors cannot compare with online authors. This is the reality.
In addition, Wu Donggang also started out as an online novel writer. At least in Zhongzhou Province, few traditional writers openly expressed their disdain for online novel writers.
The financial statistics department within Star Sky Group has calculated that a top-notch online novel can bring the author a net income of more than hundreds of millions.
The main reason is that Star Group has no intention of profiting from Internet writers.
How much revenue you can share is determined by the author's level.
The author level is the distinction between previous income levels, which is clear at a glance.
In terms of film and television adaptations, as well as game adaptations, we all adopt share-sharing agreements with novel authors, and it is not a one-size-fits-all approach.
In addition, Starry Sky Group is also working hard to help its online novels open up overseas markets through other channels.
We have previously opened separate novel websites in the United States and Europe, specifically asking local international students to translate the high-quality novels selected by the website.
Of course, international students or local Chinese can also choose novel translations that are not recommended by the website according to their own preferences, but the price and subsequent income are another calculation model.
Although Starry Sky Group is willing to spend money, the two companies have no connection with each other, but they are controlled by the same management agency and are developing reasonably well.
The pay-to-view model has not caused any waves in Europe and the United States.
In addition to the monthly ticket mechanism, other subscription, reward, and recommendation ticket competition systems are all available.
What surprised Wu Dong and the senior management of his online novel platform the most was that after just over a year of operation, the two European and American novel websites had already reached breakeven and still had a small profit.
But just like that, these two websites that specialize in translating Chinese online novels also attracted the attention of local investment institutions in Europe and the United States, and they tentatively contacted and planned to invest in them.
Similar to novel websites, film and television websites operated with the same methods also have the intention of local forces to get involved.
This is quite a headache for the top management of Star Group!
After all, novel websites and film and television websites are all created on other people's territory. If you want to develop smoothly, it is necessary to introduce local forces as strategic allies.
However, the selection of local strategic alliances must be done with caution.
Being too powerful may lead to the wolf entering the house. It is not certain who will control the website in the end.
But if the local power is too weak, it will not be able to protect itself.
After all, according to the current development trend, whether it is a novel or a film and television website, there will definitely be considerable profits in the next few years.
When the time comes, it will definitely attract people to covet you!
Of course, there is no need to be too anxious at the moment. With the size of Star Group and its influence overseas, there is no need to worry too much about this for the time being.
The novel websites in Europe and the United States are developing well, but the situation in Southeast Asia is a bit unsatisfactory.
It’s not that local netizens don’t like exciting online novels, but because of economic factors and social environment, there is basically no money to be made from the novel websites deployed in these places.
On the other hand, the situation in affluent areas such as Singapore and Malaya, where Chinese communities live, is better, but the improvement is limited.
The local Chinese forces were somewhat interested and wanted to take control of the website, which caused some twists and turns.
What Wu Dong really values is naturally the development of novel websites in Japan and South Korea.
However, it is still in the stage of exploration and adaptation, and there is no hope of being able to break even at the moment.
Fortunately, Wu Dong was not in a hurry, he had enough patience to wait slowly.
The online novel platform, film and television platform, publishing house, Starlink and Starry Weibo are collectively referred to as Starry Media Group.
This part, belonging to the group's soft assets, is currently on the rise, and its temporary influence is not very great.
As for Starry Sky Director Studio, there is no need to say more.
In short, in 2009, both in terms of production volume and box office data, it was the undisputed leader among domestic film and television companies.
One year's net profit has reached more than a dozen small targets, which is quite good.
Next year, the full bloom of movies, TV series and online dramas will begin, which will definitely shock the entire mainland film and television industry.
It’s not that there were no film and television related senior executives who suggested opening a variety show department, but Wu Dong neither agreed nor refused.
He is not competing in the Chinese entertainment industry, so does he need to win variety shows as well?
The income from popular variety shows is indeed huge, but for Star Group, it is just that.
However, the influence of variety shows is indeed not small, and he has to think about whether it is possible to achieve some positive energy promotion purposes.
Then, there is the annual summary of the Star Group Sports Affairs Department.
Needless to say, the Guihua school team competes in the Chinese Super League in China. Not only did they win the Chinese Super League championship, but they also won the Football Association Cup with their substitute players.
The double champion is just like that. Under the current background of domestic football, there is really nothing to say.
The key lies in the Belgian side of Antwerp, which not only became the half-time champion of Belgium, but also successfully advanced to the second round of the Europa League group stage.
Such performance is quite astonishing.
The key point is that Antwerp is not as powerful as Liga 1. At least its reputation in Europe is not as good as Anderlecht and Standard Serie A.
Because of his good performance, he naturally attracted the attention of Bundesliga and French Ligue 1 teams.
There is no way, why would Belgium border the two countries?
However, the Antwerp players were unmoved. The five major league clubs that were optimistic about their performance were all underdogs in relegation, so they might as well have a future in Antwerp.
As for the national team, after a lot of twists and turns, they no longer deliberately target the Chinese players in Antwerp. This is also the main factor for the team's stable performance.
In short, Antwerp is very strong at this time, and all senior football people who have watched their games unanimously believe that Antwerp will achieve results this year.
Naturally, Wu Dong had nothing to say. He just had to wait for good news from Belgium. All he had to do was prepare a generous bonus.
The really important matter for the Sports Affairs Department is the Dacheng team's Asian Cup qualifying match next year.
The decision that Wu Dong made out of anger has become less lively now. However, it is a foregone conclusion that most of the main players of the Guihua school team will play in international competitions as players of the Ducheng team, and there is no chance to change it.
This incident caused an uproar at first, and also aroused the vigilance of domestic football management agencies. It is basically impossible for other clubs to take advantage of the loophole.
As for the Guihua school team, I can only hold my nose and admit it.
The performance of the Guihua school team is as good as ever.
In the football invitational tournament that started two years ago, we had fierce battles with Portugal, Brazil and Xiangjiang teams.
The result was one win, one draw and one loss, which was quite an outstanding performance.
The game they won was naturally against the weakest Xiangjiang team, and they almost missed a double-digit score difference.
As for the draw, no one expected that it would be the majestic five-star Brazilian team.
At this time, the Brazilian team, supported by Kaká, can only say that its combat effectiveness is average.
The Guihua school team was not polite at all. It was a friendly match anyway, and they directly played the familiar Total Attack and Total Defense game with the Brazilian team. They actually played back and forth with the Brazilian team, which was very lively.
The final score of 2-2 truly reflected the performance of the two teams in the game.
That battle was a huge hit for domestic fans.
As for the loss to Portugal, the score of three to one was quite reasonable.
Of course, President Cristiano Ronaldo broke out during the game, which allowed the Guihua school team players to see how powerful a world-class star is.
In short, after this friendly match, the international ranking of the Ducheng team has been rising all the way, and now it has entered the top 100.
If they hadn't played too few international events, based on their performance in friendly matches, they would have been able to break into the top 50 in the world rankings in just a few years. It's not an exaggeration at all.
In short, various sports media are quite optimistic about the strength of the Dacheng team and feel that they will have no problem passing the Asian Cup qualifiers and advancing to the finals.
The fans' mood is much more complicated, they are happy and disappointed at the same time.
Originally, the main player of the Guihua school team was supposed to be a member of the national football team, but now he has become the main player of the Ducheng team.
If it were not for the national football team led by Gao Guo, the performance in the warm-up match was quite eye-catching, I am afraid things would not be too good at this time.
The Sports Affairs Department of Star Group is focusing part of its energy on the Ducheng team’s Asian Cup qualifiers next year.
I feel that with the strength shown by the main players of the Guihua school team, there is a great chance of reaching the Asian Cup finals.
By then, as long as you perform well in the Asian Cup, it will be of great help to the Star Group Sports Affairs Department, and you will definitely be able to enjoy the glory...
