131. The novel 'The Chainsaw' is released
What Chen Zhixian remembers best in "Saw" is the plot of the first part. Of course, following the context of the first part of "Saw", it is not difficult to continue writing.
However, Chen Zhixian didn't want to spend too much time on this.
But it doesn't mean he will give up on this series, so he smiled and said, "I'm conceiving another story recently, and the story of "Saw" is actually fresh in creativity. In fact, it's difficult for me to continue writing it, so I have an idea. I hope to cooperate with Huanhai Literature Network Overseas Network and even the main websites of China."
"Oh? Tell me what you think." Jiang Anping asked with great interest.
"Although I don't write it, I can authorize the fan novel renewal of "Saw" from Huanhai Literature Network. Of course, it is limited to the electronic version of the novel, and I will retain the film and television adaptation and publication rights." Chen Zhixian said with a smile.
Yan Wenwei and Jiang Anping were both stunned when they heard this, and then both of them lit up their eyes.
"Saw" is currently the most popular work on the Immortal Network of Fantasy Literature Network, and has been adapted into a movie by Hollywood. It can be said that this novel has unlimited future potential.
But Chen Zhixian is not in the mood to continue writing now. Even if he finds a gunman to write in the future, it will not be a matter of time. For Huanhai Literature Network, although the movie "Saw" has an influence, it is difficult to maintain its long-term popularity.
But now, if Chen Zhixian thinks, he can authorize it to Huanhai Literature Network to allow others to continue writing fan novels of "Saw" on Huanhai Literature Network. With the potential popularity of "Saw" in the future, many people will definitely be interested in it, and it can also expand the influence of "Saw".
Chen Zhixian did not lose much, because he only authorized his fan to continue writing, and the author of the rewriting only owns the electronic version on Huanhai Literature Network and does not have copyright.
Even then, Chen Zhixian can choose the right person from it and serve as a gunman to help him write the sequel to "Saw".
"This idea is so good!" Yan Wenwei said excitedly.
"Editor-in-chief, I think that if you can, you can start from this aspect and talk about the renewal of fan writing and authorization with other well-known writers and some animation works, etc. We can give up part of the electronic sales to the authorized party. In this way, we can open up the category of fan novels, so I believe that it can attract many overseas writers to our website to create." Yan Wenwei said again.
Jiang Anping couldn't help but lit up.
"This idea is good!" Jiang Anping nodded.
Chen Zhixian also thought Yan Wenwei's idea was indeed very good. In fact, writing fan novels is strictly infringing, especially in this world, where copyright control is very strict. Therefore, although there is a market for fan novels, no novel website has dared to sign contracts with such novels in a grand manner.
For writers, if they can get good returns, then this authorization is not unacceptable.
From another aspect, this is actually a kind of peripheral income of the work.
"Of course, "Saw" can be used as an example to test the waters. We can invest more resources to promote it as an example to talk about fan authorization with other writers in the future." Yan Wenwei was also a reward for his favor and won benefits for Chen Zhixian.
Jiang Anping nodded and said, "This idea is very good, I have approved it."
Although giving up share profits will reduce Huanhai Literature Network's profits, adding an extra section will itself increase profit growth points and increase content breadth, and the benefits will be self-evident.
......
Chen Zhixian is also very curious about the sales of physical books on "Saw" in the island country.
Although the first edition of Era Society and Chen Zhixian signed 200,000 copies, Chen Zhixian was not sure how much it could be sold. To be honest, Chen Zhixian was not sure about it.
As a result, good news soon came from the Era Society.
Although the sales of "Saw" on the first day are incomparable to those well-known novelists in the island country, they are beyond expectations.
Sales volume exceeded 10,000 on the first day!
Many people may think that this number does not seem to be very high, but in fact, this number has already made Era Society extremely satisfied.
Huanhai Literature Network, domestic and overseas networks have sent this good news.
The sales period of the novel is very long. It was the first time to go on sale, and Chen Zhixian's reputation was limited to Huanhai Literature Network Overseas Network.
Therefore, such sales can be said to be quite good.
The next day's good news came again. On the second day of the novel "Saw" was launched, sales increased significantly, and daily sales doubled. The daily sales of more than 20,000 copies made both Era Society and Huanhai Literature Network smiled.
Moreover, with Era Club's promotion again, the sales situation of "Saw" can be said to be very good.
In just five days, "Saw" sold more than 100,000 copies in the island country, which is definitely a top achievement for a new writer.
Era Club couldn't wait to start adding the version.
Because according to the current situation, although the sales of the novel "Saw" has not exploded, the sales volume is definitely more than 200,000 copies.
What's more, on the other hand, Feng Ziming also heard good news from Hollywood that "Saw" has officially started filming.
Of course, although we don’t look at the domestic side, Huanhai Literature Network and many people think that “Saw” is awesome to sell the film and television adaptation rights. But in fact, in Hollywood and North America, “Saw” is just a low-cost horror film. It didn’t even have a launch conference, and it started directly.
However, according to Feng Ziming's news, the shooting progress of "Saw" will be very fast, and it may even be expected to be released directly on Halloween this year!
Chen Zhixian was not too surprised by this.
You should know that in the previous life, "Saw" was said to have only taken 5 days to prepare the film and only 18 days to shoot, and all the actors have never had a rehearsal.
Of course, "Saw" is just a small-cost film in this life. Feng Ziming told Chen Zhixian that the production cost is about 1.2 million US dollars, and 200,000 US dollars of which is still given Chen Zhixian's adaptation rights. However, compared with his previous life, the publicity and distribution will be much smoother. After all, Feng Ziming is also the son of a shareholder of Shimen Pictures.
Interestingly, in China, Wu Qiong's "Bloody Island: Chainsaw" started filming nearly a month earlier than overseas "Saw", but it was scheduled for December.
This is already a very fast speed.
Of course, I guess Wu Qiong couldn't know that he was still one step behind.
On the other hand, "Shaw Beach" used by Chen Zhixian to snipe Wu Qiong was officially announced to start filming.
In fact, as long as "Saw" is sold well, although Chen Zhixian can't tell Wu Qiong, and it may even benefit "Blood Island: Saw" because of "Saw"'s big sale, as long as "Blood Island: Saw" box office cannot exceed "Saw", and "Saw" is one month away, Chen Zhixian can make the online version of "Saw" appear in front of domestic audiences in advance before "Blood Island: Saw". How many people can watch the pirated version of "Blood Island: Saw"?
