"The Kite Runner" is the first novel by Afghan writer Khaled Hosseini. It was published in 2003. The whole book revolves around the relationship between a kite and two Afghan teenagers. It is a story about a rich boy and his servant about the kite.
, about the betrayal and redemption of human nature.
How profitable is this book? Why did Ren He choose this book to invest in Qinghe Fund?
The Kite Runner has been selling well all over the world since 2005, including the United States, the United Kingdom, France, China, etc., and has entered the top three best-selling literary books in many countries. The cumulative sales in China alone have exceeded 4 million.
This is still the sales volume when piracy was rampant.
Moreover, it also has film and television copyrights that can generate profits. It can be said that the income that a copy of The Kite Runner can bring is definitely far greater than that of The Three Character Classic.
After all, the Three Character Classic cannot be sold well abroad. It has great limitations. In this era, there is not much market for ancient literature.
Ren He believes that putting such a work into the Qinghe Fund should satisfy Zhou Wumeng and the others' charity appetite, at least for the time being. And Zhou Wumeng in order to improve the book "The Kite Runner"
The sales volume of this book is bound to be huge, and copyright protection in this world is much stricter than in the previous world, so it is foreseeable that the economic benefits of this book in this world will definitely exceed that in the original world.
After all, spiritual healing books are a hard need in this fast-paced era.
As for if anyone questioned how Ren He could write such a work, even Zhou Wumeng would question it, but Ren He only had one sentence: "I didn't write it, but the copyright is in my hands."
Even the author's pen name is anonymous. He is such a scoundrel. I don't care what you question me about. I have no intention of becoming famous through this. You can't even interview me if you want to, okay? I won't give you an interview opportunity at all. Making money is making money, Ren He
I feel like there is nothing to explain to them.
But Zhou Wumeng didn't know all this. He asked: "Can this book be sold for money?"
"Yes!" Ren He was a little dumbfounded. Zhou Lao criticized him before that he should not only focus on money, but now he puts the proceeds into charity. Instead, he is the one who pays most attention to the proceeds from books. This change feels very strange.
It's strange, but very cute. But it makes Ren He feel sour in his heart. He can't learn this kind of sentiment, but he can do his best to support it.
You must know that although Mr. Zhou is the chairman of the Kyoto Newspaper Group, the newspaper group is a state-owned enterprise, and his position as chairman is also appointed by the government. He does not have any shares and receives a dead salary.
It’s really not easy for him to still be enthusiastic about charity under such circumstances. I have to say that there are heroes in ordinary times. They may not be very powerful, they can’t fly over walls, they can’t shoot coins from 800 meters away, but they are
In this ordinary era, humanity still shines with its glory.
Ren He said: "You will understand after reading this book. It is a work with both literary quality and sales. If you can operate it well, it will definitely provide great help to Qinghe Fund."
Zhou Wumeng looked at Ren He suspiciously, but for no reason he chose to believe him. After all, this young man was always creating miracles. Last time he said he wanted to save the sales of martial arts, and Kunlun became famous all over China. Now let alone filming a TV series, I think
There are many people who have made movies about Kunlun.
This is why Mr. Zhou is so concerned about whether the Kunlun copyright can be included in the Qinghe Fund...
"When will you give me this work?" Zhou Wumeng asked in hot pursuit.
"Two weeks later," Ren He thought for a while and said. After all, it took him a week to play in Kyoto. After going back and working overtime to code, it would take at least a week to copy out the entire Kite Runner. Okay.
There are not many words in this book, which is far behind Kunlun.
"Two weeks is a bit long... By the way, how long will you stay in Kyoto?" Zhou Wumeng suddenly asked: "The Kunlun shooting work has been stalled due to the Qinghe Fund. It just so happens that you can come first.
After the audition work is completed, you can set a time and we can participate together then."
"In 5 days."
…
The time had officially entered the countdown. During the next day, Ren He spent the whole day in the hotel recuperating. At night, he quietly walked out of the hotel, wearing his black peaked cap, and drove his large pickup truck into the congested traffic in Kyoto.
.
This is like a war. The entertainment industry has always been a battlefield for fame and fortune. The bigger your market share is, the smaller it may be for others.
Everything must be occupied by grabbing, grabbing popularity, grabbing headlines, and grabbing resources.
The time for the release of new songs must be set, and there should be as little conflict as possible between the big names, lest someone fall from the throne. Of course, there are also those who deliberately fight, such as Jiang Siyao and Jiang Chen. They always release new albums at the same time, falling in love and killing each other.
A fierce contest.
It was as if the two of them had strong personalities and always wanted to compete with each other. Ren He even speculated that the two broke up because they were not convinced by each other, and he didn't know where the two of them would end up.
Striving for fame and fortune is the main theme in the entertainment industry. How can Yang Xi, a newcomer, gain a foothold in the entertainment industry? Ren He thinks that in addition to good songs, she must also have sufficient means.
Yang Xi simply didn't understand this, but she had Ren He.
And tonight, Ren He will lead Yang Xi to stand up completely and declare war on those entertainment giants! In these five days, he will make Yang Xi's brilliance no longer comparable to others.
It's easy to cover up, but after this battle, Yang Xi became one of the brightest stars in the entertainment industry.
These two 16-year-old boys and girls are going to declare war on the entire entertainment world. Thinking about this kind of thing is exciting!
Predators, prepare to fight. The smile on Ren He's face can't be concealed.
…
Kyoto's nights are brilliant.
Its prosperity, its prosperity, only brings more fatigue and more complaints to people.
But there are people who choose to cover their ears this night, not to listen to its fatigue, not to listen to its complaints, not to listen to its prosperity, not to listen to its complaints.
So the world finally became quiet.
Xie Zexi was sitting by the window of her bar. There were customers in the bar early and there was a noisy atmosphere, but she felt a little melancholy. The air-conditioning was on in the bar, and Xie Zexi only wore a tight vest, leaving her in her twenties.
The beautiful body of the year is displayed vividly.
Since the end of the music boom at the beginning of the year, her business has completely improved. Many celebrities in the folk world are willing to perform in her bar, and more customers are willing to come to her place to drink and listen to music.
But she always felt that something was missing...
Maybe it lacks that amazing feeling.
Some people often say that you should not meet too amazing people when you are young, so that you will not find life boring in the future.
Xie Zexi had such thoughts at this moment. She suddenly wondered whether those two boys and girls would appear in her life again. It was like the passion and strong desire in a peaceful life.
Sometimes she would dream about the young man wearing a peaked cap standing at the entrance of the bar, asking her with a slight smile in his voice: "Boss, can you sing?"
She would answer yes every time and then wake up from the dream.
But when I woke up, all I saw was an empty room.
Business is good and I have enough food and clothing, but my spirit is empty. This feeling is uncomfortable.
Suddenly, Xie Zexi's eyes froze as she looked out the floor-to-ceiling glass window, as if she had unknowingly touched a mysterious button in the world and entered a dream.
Outside the crystal clear glass window, there was a pair of boys and girls standing there wearing peaked caps. Xie Zexi could not see their faces, but she could see the young man's smiling lips. Xie Zexi could understand the shape of his mouth when he spoke.
That was a scene repeated countless times in dreams: Boss, can you sing?
