Chapter 327 Superhero
As February 1 is getting closer and closer, Zhang Chu's fans are not in a hurry to urge the updates of "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" and "Ghost Blows Out the Light 2". All their attention is on the upcoming "Detective Sherlock"!
This TV series has invested a lot of bbc publicity resources, and netizens in mainland China are even more excited than overseas netizens.
Although domestic detective novels are only in their infancy, netizens are full of expectations for their trust in bbc and their confidence in Zhang Chu's works.
However, British netizens generally have a pessimistic feeling, and only a small group of people cheered and excited.
After all, Zhang Chu has no reputation in Europe and the United States. He only published a book called "Sherlock Detective" in the United Kingdom and the United States. His subsequent works have not been translated into English and sent to other countries for the time being.
Overseas netizens discuss this TV series mainly because of Sherlock. After all, "Sherlock Detective" reproduced from the giant IP of Sherlock Holmes.
The Sherlock Holmes series of books and film and television works have been popular in Europe and the United States for nearly a century, and countless people are still immersed in the charm of this old-school gentleman.
As a British National Broadcasting Corporation, bbc is obviously better able to grasp the detective complex of its own people!
In fact, traditionally, British people like to read novels that solve cases, libraries in various blocks, or bookstores in London, and detective novels are placed in particularly prominent positions.
The British have a unique detective complex, and this detective culture represented by Sherlock Holmes has been deeply rooted in people's hearts.
In the UK, you can always see all kinds of detective stories when you turn on the TV: "The Last Detective", "Blue Murder", "Sheriff Rusbon", etc.
The images of detectives full of wisdom and the brutal murders hidden behind beautiful appearances seem to be able to continue to be performed forever, and the citizens of Great Britain also enjoy watching it.
In these stories, the detectives and the detectives are born with extraordinary intelligence, have super observation skills, first-class logical reasoning skills, and are brave and fearless, kind and just, helping the society, helping the weak and the poor, and are deeply loved by people.
The world's most famous detective stories and characters were born in the UK: from Christie's "The Tribulation on the Nile" to Conan Doyle's "Shelmes".
The famous bald suspense film master Hitchcock is also the pride of the British.
Nowadays, 20% of the most popular novels in the UK are suspense detective works. Zhang Chu's book "Sherlock" is like a fish in the UK and has never fallen from the sales list. Now, with the efforts of bbc, it is even rising!
Until now, the Sherlock Holmes Museum on Baker Street in central London is crowded every day, attracting tourists from all over the world. Many Sherlock Holmes fans still go to Sherlock Holmes' office with extremely curious hearts, wear his tongue-shaped hat, enjoying his thoughts and sudden enlightenment.
Sherlock Holmes and James Bond are the superheroes in the minds of the British. Now superheroes are about to be on the small screen, so the attention is naturally extraordinary.
This makes Zhang Chu's fans quite proud. Your superheroes are not written by us Chinese!
"Xiao Zhang is really amazing. She didn't like watching this type of TV series very much, so she bought a Tencent Video member early to prepare."
"The student party said he was crying and was at home. Membership was so expensive. Does anyone compete for membership together?"
"Zhang Chu wrote a superhero for others, why didn't he create a superhero for us?"
"That's right, London premiered at 8:00 on February 1st. How long will it take for us to update here? Is there any academic master to help calculate the time difference?"
"Tencent video is so cruel. There are only these three episodes, and they all require members. I don't usually watch these programs, so why didn't the TV station introduce it directly?"
Netizens complain a lot, but Tencent Video is still firmly sitting on Diaoyutai. They spent a high price to buy the copyright of "Detective Sherlock" not for charity purposes, and it will obviously attract a large number of netizens to join them.
Not only should we consider the issue of time difference, but we should also consider the issue of Chinese and English subtitles.
BBC will have to wait until it is played before it can pass the Blu-ray source to Tencent Video, and Tencent Video can only add subtitles to it at that time!
After all, what Sherlock Holmes and Watson speak English, and if domestic audiences want to watch, they must have Chinese subtitles. After all, there are only a few who can chew raw meat.
The advantage of the official translation and other translation teams is that they can get the script of the TV series in advance. Although there is no video to watch, they can still translate most of the things according to the script!
This saves a little time, but the subtitles not only translate the characters' dialogues, but also have to explain the pictures, plots or some memes at the right time.
Now the official translators of Tencent Video are working overtime to translate the script of "Detective Sherlock", and the efficiency is really not low!
Because they have a reference, they can just use the novel of the same name published by Zhang Chu as a reference for translation. After all, the TV series was derived from this novel, which saves time and effort.
Anyway, Zhang Chu was free at home, so he wanted to see if his "Detective Sherlock" could achieve unprecedented success like the version on Earth.
This is his first film-based work. If the reputation and ratings are very good, it will be a huge boon for the rest of the works!
In his previous life, BBC sold "Detective Sherlock" to almost every country in the world, reaping unprecedented profits.
During the first part, Zhang Chu only received the fees for adapting the original work and screenwriter, and there was no profit dividend. No matter how much money BBC earned, it had nothing to do with him.
But in his opinion, all this is worth it. The first part is just used to lay the foundation. If BBC wants to shoot the second part, third part, and fourth part, it is time for him to make money!
After all, Zhang Chu was just a newcomer at the beginning, and it was impossible to get profits and dividends. No matter how much BBC likes this work, it is impossible to divide the benefits.
The ratings and reputation of the first part are Zhang Chu's trump card. I don't believe that BBC will remain indifferent to the subsequent plot after obtaining the high profits of the first part of Shenxia.
The more TV series are filmed, the more money it can make. Zhang Chu has no intention of writing the second part now, and the copyright of Detective Sherlock is also in his hands. BBC cannot leave him alone.
Selling copyright fees alone has never been Zhang Chu’s goal. How many books do you have to sell to get one million or ten million pounds?
The profit of "Detective Sherlock" can reach this level by just a little bit, and Zhang Chu doesn't have to worry about all kinds of things himself, and everything can be done with BBC.
The open plot, the pure plot, can be said to be lying down and waiting for money to come to you!
Chapter completed!
