Chapter 164: It’s better to seek help from others than from yourself
Chen Shaorong asked the publishing house to find professional translators. These translators know how to use Chinese vocabulary instead of literal translation, and have a very deep understanding of the humanities of both places and understand the market demand.
For example, when looking for an English translator, it is best to find someone who grew up in China, lived in England and the United States for four years in college, and worked there for two or three years before coming back. This type of translator knows how to translate which words to make people understand better.
It can make reading accessible.
Generally speaking, these fees are not low. Chen Shaorong doesn't care about the money. This book Chen Shaorong wants to translate into multiple languages and sell it. In the early stage, Chen Shaorong also needs to find someone to design his ideal character image. In order to better achieve the animation presentation, Chen Shaorong also asked Huaxing to contact
The animation company in Japan does outsourcing business.
As for the future theme songs of this book, Chen Shaorong has also decided on "Broken Cocoon" and "Unparalleled Heroes", and the opening and ending, and the fighting interlude in the middle is "The Lonely Warrior".
The complete ecology of a work has been polished by Chen Shaorong.
If it were anyone else, given this opportunity, he would definitely write about the Three-Body Problem, but Chen Shaorong didn't. He started from maximizing interests.
If he wants to quickly increase his popularity and get female fans, he may choose some popular female video articles. Although the market profits of such books are very large, they are also regional, and there is no later realization, only one-time.
If he chooses Three-Body Problem, Chen Shaorong would have to spend too much manpower and material resources to publicize it, and there may not be any response within three to five years.
The reason why Chen Shaorong chose the book Panlong was to fill a gap. This book has 150 million readings overseas, and this reading volume was obtained after the platform went overseas without spending a lot of money on operations. The platform was originally overseas
I never thought I would gain so much from publishing online articles.
The overseas business department does not have a professional operations team, and the original author just wants to write a book seriously. This is the state of most current authors. If you want to be a circle, then you must follow the fan circle culture, which can maximize the author's interests.
, but the pressure from public opinion is also the greatest. For example, if you are bullied by the Internet, you may be attacked if you say the wrong thing.
There are as many people who like it as there are people who hate it. This path is not suitable for everyone. It is a test of psychological quality and whether you have considered it carefully and faced it. The previous tomb robber author who was very good at running his own book has indeed left the circle.
But soon after he left the industry, his life changed drastically, which eventually led to depression and hospitalization. It took a long time for him to recover, and he later became less public.
But Chen Shaorong is not afraid. He is not afraid of the pressure of public opinion. He is a star himself. He works in this industry and has no wife and children. He is not afraid of public opinion targeting his family. His mother has also worked hard with his father and knows about public opinion, and she has experience and psychological endurance.
With this, Chen Shaorong did not want to miss such a huge opportunity. The highest physical print publication of a Chinese author's work is only over three million, and the electronic version will be higher.
And if the reading volume of 150 million is turned into a physical book, one million people will buy it, and Chen Shaorong will also make a lot of money.
Why was this book so popular overseas? In fact, the reason is very simple. Many people say that the online text is a novice novel, but the core of the novice novel is a strong sense of substitution and a low threshold for reading, which is what Chen Shaorong wants.
The Four Great Classics are good books, but they are too difficult for foreigners to understand. To become a global bestseller, it must be easy to understand and have a low threshold. This is why Panlong became so popular in the first place.
In addition, it is an imaginary world, which makes it easier for people to accept things without too many cultural differences. Why was this book a pity at the time? Because it missed the profit maximization realization, maybe the person involved had no regrets, but what Chen Shaorong wanted was profit.
Chen Shaorong has verified something, that is, things from the previous life can have the same effect in this world, and with his operation, the effect will be even greater.
Then Panlong's book will definitely be a hit overseas. He hung his photo on the book, wrote his personal information, and added his social account. This is what Chen Shaorong wanted.
With 150 million readings, as long as four to five million overseas fans follow his account, he will be a big V overseas, and the underlying logic is the same around the world, that is, one level and another level will interact and support each other.
, plus the more than one million fans previously attracted on Hong Kong Island and the four to five million overseas in the future, Chen Shaorong’s overseas account fans will be close to 10 million Big V. Fans at this level are basically internationally renowned musicians and filmmakers.
, sports stars, etc.
Chen Shaorong can quickly interact with this group of people. There is an old saying: If you have face, you have many ways to do things easily. This face is to let people know about Chen Shaorong.
He will quickly use Panlong's wave of traffic to gain a group of fans overseas, and then use the fans to monetize it. For example, he can launch CSR Panlong customized clothes without asking for how much money he makes, so that people will know the CSR brand.
As for the operating model, just copy Disney's completely. The Disney model is what Japan and South Korea are learning later. While producing works, it provides supporting services and sells brand value, such as producing animations, making theme parks, making clothes, and selling the brand to stationery manufacturers.
Candy companies, game companies, film and television companies, etc., will either get a one-time cash settlement or receive dividends.
When Chen Shaorong starts doing this, he becomes famous, and everyone knows that he wrote Panlong. Then he will write the Three-Body Problem next, which will save many steps and time, and everyone will praise his improved writing skills and his wide-open imagination.
Just like the cooperation between Chen Shaorong and Xiaomian Mobile, Xiaomian Mobile is well-known in the industry for its operation skills. Xiaomian Mobile has high overseas sales. One of the biggest reasons is that the overseas operations of Xiaomian Mobile are handed over to overseas teams. Their headquarters does not participate because they are afraid
In order to adapt to the local conditions, each region invites local people to serve as presidents of local branches.
If Chen Shaorong gets Xiaomian's global spokesperson, then someone will help him promote it for free. It will be mutually beneficial and win-win for both parties. After all, consumers and fans will foot the bill.
No matter how big a tree you rely on, it is better to become a big tree yourself. It is better to ask for help from others than to ask for yourself.
Chen Shaorong never wanted to embarrass himself, nor did he want to take detours or be stubborn. He would never take detours when taking shortcuts.
In order to maximize profits, Chen Shaorong found Ma Fan. Ma Fan has a lot of overseas fans. After all, he came back after debuting overseas for several years. Their boy band was also considered the top boy band in Asia, and their fan base is still large.
Yes, when the time comes, let him go find the big V gang he met overseas to promote Panlong's book and monetize it as quickly as possible.
Ma Fan knew that Chen Shaorong was going to compose a song for him, so he was so happy that he came to the recording studio early to wait.
This time Chen Shaorong plans to write a song for Ma Fan to boost his popularity in domestic entertainment first, and it will be enough to get his number of fans back to the previous 80%.
For this reason, Chen Shaorong prepared a song "Fairy Tale" for Ma Fan. His appearance and voice were suitable for singing this kind of song. After trying it out in the recording studio, Ma Fan knew that this song would be a big hit. He felt
The most correct decision I made in my life was to join Huaxing.
Ma Fan was reluctant to leave the recording studio after practicing for several hours. Chen Shaorong asked him to go back to rest and went to the Shanghai TV rehearsal site.
Su Qingzhu was waiting for her there. Rehearsal was very realistic. The higher the position, the more you could choose the rehearsal time at any time.
Chen Shaorong chose the time when Chen Shaorong and Su Qingzhu walked out from the backstage at six o'clock in the evening. Which position was the camera position, which place was the lighting position, and how the two performed were specially designed.
Chen Shaorong and Su Qingzhu walked out from both ends of the backstage and walked to both sides of the stage respectively. Chen Shaorong and Su Qingzhu sang a little emotionally, and walked towards each other while singing, and then they held hands in the middle of the stage.
Su Qingzhu is wearing a white cheongsam and white high heels. Her legs are long and straight. It must be said that Su Qingzhu has a figure that men will never forget after seeing her.
Especially the way she wears a cheongsam is simply a dream come true for men.
Chen Shaorong wore a white suit and white leather shoes. The two matched so well.
Su Qingzhu's eyes were full of Chen Shaorong, and she smiled so happily. At this moment, Chen Shaorong only belonged to her.
Photographers surrounded them on the stage to take pictures, and the two of them seemed not to see the photographers on the stage.
The so-called entertainers basically have a character set up and act in front of the camera every day. If they really do it, they probably won't be in the entertainment industry. They are just the kind of people who say they are afraid of others and don't want to talk to others.
Chen Shaorong only rehearsed with Su Qingzhu for an hour, and then took a bus to the high-speed rail station to take the high-speed train to Jinling for rehearsal, where Chen Shaorong was still waiting for rehearsal.
Neither side can delay. When they get to Jinling, Chen Shaorong has more rehearsals to do.
Because his performance lasts for twenty minutes, he needs to perform a lot of content, and he also has to go through the questions that the host will ask. He even has to help advertise the brand he endorses and practice reading the advertising words. You can't read this wrong.
Already.
The three songs performed this time are Jingwumen, Xingqing and Blue and White Porcelain. Chen Shaorong still has to rehearse the moves with the backup dancers. This time, in order to highlight the freshness, he will also perform a chair dance.
At noon the next day, he rehearsed again for two and a half hours in Jinling and then went to Shanghai to rehearse.
On the day of the New Year's Eve party, Chen Shaorong was preparing backstage at Shanghai TV. He and Su Qingzhu were the first group to go on stage. After the host finished speaking on the stage, they went on stage.
Su Qingzhu was a little nervous. She had never performed on such a big stage before. She originally wanted to lip-sync, but in the end she didn't. Now netizens would rather the singer ran away than listen to lip-synching.
The two walked to the stairs at both ends of the stage and entered the stage. The audience cheered and waved light sticks. Chen Shaorong looked at Su Qingzhu. Su Qingzhu's eyes were always looking at the teleprompter. He was deeply afraid of singing wrongly. Nervousness was inevitable.
, I’m not afraid of so many people, but I’m afraid of being laughed at if I don’t sing well. After all, I’m not a professional singer.
Chen Shaorong spoke first, causing Su Qingzhu to come back to her senses and look at Chen Shaorong's hand. Chen Shaorong told her that if he raised his hand, Su Qingzhu would sing.
Su Qingzhu's nervousness disappeared instantly after seeing Chen Shaorong. She picked up the microphone and sang duet with Chen Shaorong, with only Chen Shaorong in her eyes. When Chen Shaorong and Su Qingzhu walked to the middle of the stage to sing, the two interlocked with their fingers, and the audience rang again
There were cheers.
At this moment, Fan Sheng, who was sitting in front of the TV, was so famous that he wanted to kick Chen Shaorong into the abyss. Su Qingzhu, the woman he longed for, who could understand the feeling of not having her.
At this moment, there were two young and beautiful girls beside him peeling fruits and pouring wine for him. The wine was tasteless and the fruits tasted bitter.
Seeing Su Qingzhu and Chen Shaorong interlocking with each other made Fan Shengming feel so uncomfortable. The woman he loved, the woman he wanted to have every day, was currently having a romantic relationship with a young boy.
Fan Shengming couldn't stand it anymore and felt uncomfortable. He was not as good as that Chen Shaorong. If he wanted money, looks, and figure, he could give Su Qingzhu glory and wealth. Su Qingzhu was confused. She didn't
Know how to cherish, and what you can give her is food and clothing without worries.
Fan Shengming was unhappy, and Chen Shaorong called him to scold him and provoke him. He wanted to think of ways to educate Chen Shaorong.
Wang Chenghui was even more unhappy because his daughter was still squatting inside. From birth to now, he would prepare a gift for his daughter every Christmas and send her a big red envelope on New Year's Eve.
Chen Shaorong, these three words made Wang Chenghui very angry. He had to pay the price, so he couldn't just let it go.
Wang Kun and Guan Jieyu were also angry. They were on Jiangsu Satellite TV. The finale this year was Chen Shaorong. Last year it was Wang Kun's. Everything has changed. Chen Shaorong's appearance made many people unhappy, and the most unhappy one was Dong Siyan.
On New Year's Eve, her comment section read "Happy New Year Aunt Dong". Dong Siyan was so angry that she wanted to strangle Chen Shaorong to death. Nowadays, many of the scripts given to her are mothers, stepmothers and aunts, and the opposite actors have changed from male actors in their twenties to
He became an old man in his forties or fifties.
This proves that romance dramas under the age of 30 will no longer look for her. Half a year in time, Chen Shaorong has turned the entire China Entertainment upside down. For some people, Chen Shaorong has turned the entire China Entertainment upside down.
The chorus is over. Someone is already posting this chorus on the Internet. This is definitely a popular song for boys and girls to express their love. After a brief interview, Chen Shaorong stepped down, leaving Su Qingzhu with the invisible wings of singing and practicing on the stage for several months.
.
Chen Shaorong quickly left the stadium stage and took a bus to the high-speed rail station. He did not dare to take a plane for fear of delays. He was still waiting for him there. It was already 8:30 and he had to arrive within three hours to prepare everything for the stage.
Chen Shaorong bought a business seat. After he took his seat wearing a mask and cap, Qin Doudou and the rest of the team took their seats. They booked four seats in advance. Qin Doudou and Chen Shaorong sat together.
"Doudou, you can't go astray. You are my agent. If something happens to you, I will be named. Then the title will be Chen Shaorong's agent." Chen Shaorong said while holding his mobile phone.
"Hmph, don't worry, nothing will happen to you if something happens to you." Qin Doudou gave Chen Shaorong a roll of his eyes.
"Shouldn't I remind you? If you really have any needs, tell me and I will try my best to satisfy you." Chen Shaorong said softly.
Qin Doudou slapped the brim of Chen Shaorong's hat with his hand and said, "You are the only one who has needs. Is your head full of mush?"
"Qin Doudou, what are you thinking about? I mean, what do you need in life? If you need help, tell me. Have you thought about the needs of your body?" Chen Shaorong looked at Qin Doudou and asked.
Qin Doudou was said to be speechless. He immediately turned his head and looked out the car window, pretending not to hear. He was blushing and didn't know what to say. Do you need it? What needs do you have? You can't explain your life needs and physiological needs clearly.
.
Qin Doudou secretly took out her mobile phone, and her classmates were all liking her. After knowing that she was Chen Shaorong's agent, they wanted Qin Doudou to ask Chen Shaorong for an autographed photo. Qin Doudou didn't dare to talk about it now. Junior high school, high school
, all the classmates from the university are texting her, how do I reply to this?
Chen Shaorong suddenly lay down next to Qin Doudou and said: "What text messages did you send behind my back? Did you want to eat duck when you arrived in Jinling?"
Qin Doudou turned around, pressed Chen Shaorong's head on her lap, glared at him and said, "I must have understood it correctly this time, right?"
Chen Shaorong looked at her and said: "Jinling is the capital of ducks. The earliest roast duck came from here, as well as saltwater duck, salted duck, duck blood vermicelli soup, etc. There are all kinds of ducks here. I thought you were ordering duck behind my back."
Let’s eat, I want to have one too, why are you so excited? Did you watch something you shouldn’t have watched recently?”
Qin Doudou blushed again and let go of his hand and explained: "No, don't talk nonsense. My classmates want me to ask you for autographed photos. There are hundreds of people in junior high school, high school, and university. How can I reply? They keep sending me a message.
.”
"That's it? Give me the list of those classmates and I'll sign it for you." Chen Shaorong said.
"There are almost two hundred people." Qin Doudou said.
"Are you embarrassed? You feel embarrassed to ask me for so many autographs, and then you are afraid that these people in the group will be mean to you and say you won't help?
In fact, I have bought a writing machine, which is specially used for writing. After setting my signature, the machine can help me sign hundreds of thousands of signatures every day without any problem. At least it is a signature and I have not printed it.
It’s okay for me to send you 10,000 signed photos, but for your classmates, Aite, and those who asked you to help get autographs, I suggest you just block them and don’t keep any of them.”
"Why?" Qin Doudou asked curiously.
"It's very simple. This group of people don't care about you at all. You don't even matter to these people. They ask you for your autograph. They just want to show off, post on Moments and say they have my signature, or
I brag to others that their classmate Qin Doudou is my agent, Chen Shaorong.
Their starting point is to use you to gain some of their own benefits. Let’s put it this way, they ask you for autographs and photos today, and tomorrow they will ask you for concert tickets. It’s nothing to give them for free. If you ask them for
Believe it or not, Qian will turn against you immediately.
If you want to talk to them, you have to be pestered by this group of people all the time. This group of people didn't consider whether it was embarrassing for you to ask me for an autograph and a photo. Don't they themselves understand this? What if I want to reject you? How can you deal with this group of people?
The group of people said: Do you feel guilty now? You feel like it was your fault for not asking for autographs and photos for them.
This is a reflection of the selfishness of this group of people. The classmate group is a public place. To directly command you to do things in a public place means that you are not taken seriously at all.
So, why are you talking to this group of people? People who really care about you are afraid of causing trouble to you, you know? Or they are cautiously asking if you can help me with this, instead of asking you, in the group
Chasing after you.
Are there any classmates here who bullied you before? I can’t beat you, but they also bullied you, excluded you, and attacked you with words?”
Qin Doudou didn't say anything. In fact, there were people who mocked her for not studying well and being as stupid as a pig. Some people really bullied her and attacked her. She resisted, but she didn't fight back. Those people
Knowing that she couldn't beat Qin Doudou, she would blame her and isolate her in various ways.
"Then what should I do?" Qin Doudou looked at Chen Shaorong with helpless eyes and asked.
"It's very simple, don't reply, don't bother with it. Don't you know who you have a good relationship with? Just keep in touch with those few. Your classmates are from kindergarten to university. If you can do anything and ask others to do something because of your classmates' relationship,
Why do you keep this classmate here? Just set Do Not Disturb and don’t interact with them, or just leave the group. Why do you feel guilty for not helping them? Do you still have social contact with this group of people?"
"I understand, but a middle school classmate asked me to borrow money. Do you want me to borrow money? He asked me to borrow five thousand," Qin Doudou said.
"Do you have regular contact with this middle school classmate?" Chen Shaorong asked.
Qin Doudou shook his head and said, "I haven't kept in touch since graduating from middle school. Someone brought me in with this group before."
"First of all, the other party has not contacted you, and then asked you to borrow money. Basically, he has no intention of paying it back. Why? Because he has borrowed everything he could and the 5,000 limit is gone. I can only say that there is a problem with his credit report.
Yes, if you borrow it, there is a high probability that you will never come back, but if you believe that he will pay it back, then borrow it, five thousand is a good deal to see some people see something clearly." Chen Shaorong said.
The classmate who asked Qin Doudou to borrow money said that he needed money for a family emergency and would return it to Qin Doudou in two days. Qin Doudou saw that this classmate showed off the Audi A6 he just bought and the villa he just bought in the group, and he felt uncomfortable.
He was short of money. He even asked himself to borrow five thousand. He was really short of money, but Qin Doudou couldn't bear to borrow it in the end.
"You're not good at other things, but you're pretty good at judging people. I'd rather trust you than the other party. Five thousand was really cheated. I lost all my blood and I must feel uncomfortable. It's better not to borrow it, knowing that I might be cheated.
If I continue to challenge human nature, I will find myself uncomfortable," Qin Doudou said.
"Hey, are you listening to my advice now? That's good. Don't embarrass yourself. Have we released the content of our work after the new year?" Chen Shaorong asked.
"After the new year, I will go to Baodao to promote, and then participate in several variety shows. There is also a variety show that invites you to be a mentor, and two competitive ones invite you to participate in singing competitions." Qin Doudou said.
"I have pushed all the domestic entertainment variety shows, and none of them are available for the time being. I will leave a few popular variety shows on Baodao, but not the others. I will suspend all marketing and promotion of the company for me." Chen Shaorong said.
Su Qingzhu took the phone to remember, feeling a little uneasy. Is Chen Shaorong going to change his mind? Or is he holding back bad habits? Why did the company stop promoting him?
Logically speaking, we should be operating with all our strength at this time. This wave made Qin Doudou feel incredible.
After arriving in Jinling, Chen Shaorong quickly took a commercial vehicle driven by Wang Bo to the stadium site. It was already blocked there. Fortunately, he had a pass and drove directly into the stadium, then took the staff passage to the backstage.
It was already ten thirty-six at this time. He took a drink of water and took a short break before he would go on stage to perform.
At 11:20, the host on the stage shouted: "Let us welcome Chen Shaorong with warm applause for his performance."
