Anyone who knows the inside story of the publishing industry knows that all authors are liars, and all publishers are black-hearted businessmen. Every link from writing, publishing to marketing will subvert the cognition of outsiders.

The entertainment industry is more than hundreds of times darker than the publishing industry, and it is not the same order of magnitude at all.

"Superstar? No, no, I don't think so, I just want to write a book with peace of mind."

Zhang Chu is a little worried now. It would be contrary to his original intention if the other party would pull him from behind the scenes.

Emmanuel gave a simple example: "Actually, I always think that writers, like actors, rely on their works to speak, and they need to maintain a moderate sense of mystery. Just like some superstar actors, except for seeing their works in the cinema, there is at most some gossip news."

"Yes, I think so too. I must provide readers with a sense of mystery and new discoveries."

In modern times with highly developed information, the writers don’t have a strong sense of mystery left to readers, and they don’t even have a trace of imagination.

Many people originally had a good impression of some writers, but after reading their Weibo posts and reports, they found it boring, and they were not even interested in reading their books and articles.

In Zhang Chu's view, the most direct way for writers to communicate with readers is the works. Readers can read the writer's ideas from the works. If they get a certain degree of recognition from readers, they will pay attention to the rest of the writer's articles and books.

The same goes for actors. At first glance, they can gain a lot of popularity through various variety shows and reality shows, quickly become popular, increase exposure, etc.

But these variety shows and reality shows will be directly tied to the actors. If they act in movies and TV series in the future, it will make the audience feel extremely awkward and very playful!

"I don't plan to let you go against your mind and be exposed to the spotlight for a long time. I hope you are Daniel Day Lewis of the writers. Apart from your works, the outside world knows very little about your personal life. Even if you are interviewed ten or hundreds of times, you can still maintain a thousand faces, and make the media and readers curious and unknown to you."

These words came to Zhang Chu's heart. He is almost no longer sharing life on Weibo, but simply using it as a stage for writing and display.

Why do many writers never write good works after winning the Nobel Prize in Literature?

Have they all become lazy?

Or do you care about your aura and reputation and are unwilling to write easily?

In fact, there are all reasons. After winning the award, these writers have a sudden change in their fame, and they have an outrageous amount of social activities, and they spend less and less time writing in their own writing.

Even I have become more and more cautious in writing, and my courage is not as great as before. I am always worried that I will receive negative reviews and disappointment after I send out my new work.

On the one hand, Ye Shumei and Zhou Kang nodded frequently after listening to the translation. Even actors like Tom Cruise were not even able to watch street shots except for the promotion of movies.

Like Zhang Ziyi, who used to be a so-called detective, but she frequently participated in variety shows and reality shows, the public's impression and evaluation of her decreased several levels.

Deng Chao has been nominated for the third-gold actor several times, but his funny image in Running Man is so deeply rooted in people's hearts that it is difficult for current film and television works to break out of this framework.

Many viewers were afraid that they would suddenly tear up their name tags when they saw him appearing in a movie.

"I'm glad you have such a high opinion of me. Next, our team will conduct in-depth research and discussions. We will definitely give you a reply tomorrow. I hope you can have fun in Yanjing."

"Our company is considering setting up an office in Yanjing, so it will be more convenient to contact us at that time." Harry Emanuel put out all his bargaining chips.

After sending the old man outside the company, Zhang Chu and others returned to the conference room, and they stared at each other with big eyes.

"Do you think you can sign this company?"

Ye Shumei sorted out the language in her mind and said, "I think it can be signed, but you have to pay attention to the specific terms. I hope they don't interfere with your creative freedom, nor do they damage your interests just to stuff your company's employees into the adaptation project."

"Agree with Mr. Ye's opinion, our company has no foundation in North America. The Engagement Elite Brokerage Company is indeed a very small number of major Hollywood brokerage companies that attach importance to publishing business. It is not accidental that they have so many top writers and screenwriters. It can help us too much in this field."

Zhang Chu nodded and said, "Since that's the case, you will talk to them about the detailed treatment issues, and hope they can be resolved as soon as possible."

It's November soon. Only by letting Fenjin, a Hollywood giant-level agency, communicate with Warner Bros., communicate better.

On the surface, this is an agency, but in fact it is just Zhang Chu's personal studio. If you fight alone now, you are too weak, so you might as well find a powerful foreign aid.

"Boss, there is another thing to report to you. Disney has just announced the release schedule for next year's film. In addition to the traditional anniversary of the fallen soldiers, they also occupied a schedule on the first Friday in July. Producer Chris vaguely revealed that it should be the release time of "The Da Vinci Code"!"

The filming will be finished this summer, but it will be released next summer. I really don’t know what Disney is thinking. "The Da Vinci Code" is almost always shot in real life, and there is no need to produce a lot of visual effects like "Pi".

"Since they are scheduled to be in summer, it seems that they lack confidence in this video."

It is normal to lack of information. Without Tom Hanks, there is no help from sentiment. A long-term publicity plan must be formulated. Perhaps it would be great to start from the minority.

As more and more works have been written, the products derived from these works have become more and more. They are like a dense net gradually spreading out, and Zhang Chu's energy is involved.

"There is also the physical book "Youth Pi" last week. The sales of e-books returned to the championship. It seems that they will return to the championship every six months, and have not fallen in the top 200 sales rankings."

Zhang Chu waved his hand and said, "This is almost the highest peak. If you win the grand prize at the Oscars, it will be the last championship. It should continue to fall until it reaches a stable value."

No work can be sold endlessly. The long-lasting flow of classic works is the reason for the long-term sales.
