Chapter 111 Something Happened

In this world, there is no "Journey to the West", let alone a complete and self-justifying myth system such as Honghuang and Fengshen.

Therefore, it is somewhat difficult to promote the story of Journey to the West.

But China in this time and space is similar to the origin of Chinese civilization on earth. It is easier to cultivate "Journey to the West" as an IP than to cultivate Iron Man or Harry Potter.

After all, if Western culture is forcibly moved to the East, it will easily cause dissatisfaction and waste the value of IP itself.

The image of Sun Wukong is the incarnation of the Chinese people's sustenance for beauty, perseverance, and courage for thousands of years, and it is finally conceived.

As Mao Bin said, people are always easily moved by the image of a hero.

Because when they were kids, everyone wanted to be the big hero.

When I grow up, those seemingly ridiculous thoughts will not be spoken out again, but they are actually buried quietly in my heart.

Otherwise, why can Sun Wukong become a household name in China?
From another perspective, there is no "Journey to the West" in this world, and it is really difficult to promote it, but once it is promoted, this IP belongs to Wei Xun.

From the opening of the sky by Pangu, the preaching of Hongjun, and the creation of human beings by Nuwa, to Fengshen, Journey to the West, and even Liaozhai, Shushan, such a huge and complete worldview, there are too many wonderful stories and characters that can be taken out and used.

On Earth, relying on a group of animation characters, Disney has created a large animation family, from movies and songs, to basic necessities of life, and even to build its own theme parks all over the world.

Such a mythical world IP created by Wei Xun can also go to this height!
Think about it, if on earth, the copyrights of the stories and characters in "Journey to the West" and Fengshen belonged to a certain person, what would happen?
One thing is for sure, this man's name is enough to appear on any rich list!

On the way back, Wei Xun thought for a long time about creating a mythical IP.

But the ideas in his mind are all based on the prehistoric, and only after Journey to the West is promoted can they have a chance to be realized.

It takes time to promote and nurture IP.

In fact, the most effective and rapid promotion method must be to write books, first write stories such as "The Great Desolation", "Fengshen Bang", "Journey to the West" and "Liaozhai" to popularize the world view.

The "Harry Potter" series on Earth relied on the best-selling books in the world to break through the market, fanned fans of fan books, was detonated by screen movies, and finally became a popular IP masterpiece all over the world.

Wei Xun can learn from this approach.

However, it is still too slow for bestsellers to break through the market, so we can make some modifications and focus on online literature.

After arriving home, the more Wei Xun thought about it, the more he felt that this was feasible. He looked at Mao Bin who was about to leave, and asked, "Do you usually read online novels?"

"I'll watch it occasionally." Mao Bin wondered, "What's the matter, brother Xun?"

This evening, Mao Bin, who was asked many inexplicable questions, was a little confused.

But what made him even more confused was Wei Xun's next answer.

Wei Xun said: "It's okay, I plan to write online novels, please recommend me a few suitable websites, and only sign the electronic copyright."

Writing web novels?
Mao Bin almost thought that he was hallucinating. He looked at Wei Xun in surprise, and finally said: "The biggest novel website must be Qiming, but Brother Xun, where do you have time to write online novels?"

"There will always be a squeeze."

Wei Xun said with a smile: "And it's just a temporary idea, I'm not sure when I will write it."

The worldview of the mythology system is too vast, and it would take time to sort it out in detail.

Mao Bin said helplessly: "Well, anyway, you can do everything."

Relying on the role of "Shen Guangyao", Wei Xun pushed out his "decathlon" personality, which is actually purposeful.

With this 'decathlon' personality, it will be easier for the public to accept him when he suddenly wants to dabble in online literature or do amazing things like today.

After all, he is a decathlon and knows a little bit about everything, so it's not surprising.

After Mao Bin left, Wei Xun went to the bathroom, took a shower, turned on the computer in the study, and began to search Qiming Chinese website.

The online literature in this world can be regarded as a hundred flowers blooming, but because the development started not long ago, there is no perfect world system, let alone any amazing imagination settings.

Wei Xun thought about it and decided to release "Journey to the West" first.

The entire mythology system is too huge, and it takes a lot of energy and time to perfect it by one person, so let's take out the most exciting ones first, and the follow-up world view can completely create settings, timelines, and character designs, and then open the fans. The copyright of the e-book is completed by the help of the majority of network writers.

On Earth, "Harry Potter" can be so popular because it was popular all over the world at first because of the best-selling book + the second creation of the same person.

After entering January, as the New Year is getting closer, the Spring Festival stalls are coming soon.

Wei Xun can only spare time to do the outline of "Journey to the West" first, and most of the rest of his energy still has to be put on the promotion of "Chinese Partner".

But I don't know if it's Wei Xun's illusion. He feels that Times Pictures' announcement of "Chinese Partner" has become more and more perfunctory recently.

When "Wuwen Xidong" was announced, the publicity was really overwhelming, and the news of the movie spread all over the Internet.

Although it was jointly released by Times Pictures and Huaying Media at the time, even if "Chinese Partner" is now only left by Times Pictures, it shouldn't have such a level of publicity.

Just open any forum movie section, or movie media online magazines, newsletter, social software such as petals, and the most discussed one will always be Dynasty Entertainment's "A Show Tonight".

Secondly, Tianguang Media's movie "Men and Women in Investment Banking" is also very popular.

The two film giants have invested heavily in this year's Spring Festival.

"Tonight's Play" cost an astonishing 7000 million yuan, and it is co-starred by Dynasty Entertainment's first brother Bai Qianchi and first sister Zhong Xianxian.

Not to mention Zhong Xianxian, who is one of the five golden flowers and has the same status as Zhai Qing, the first brother Bai Qianchi alone is enough to make any movie of the same period dare not ignore it.

Bai Qianchi is in his early forties this year, which is the most golden age for a male star.

The movie "After the Earthquake", which broke the Chinese box office record last year and harvested 6.9 million yuan, and the action movie "Pioneer of Special Gang", which beat "Wuwen Xidong" this year and raked in 5.3 million yuan, are all invested by Dynasty Entertainment. Starring Qianchi.

The movie box office he has starred in these years has accumulated more than 30 billion. He is also the domestic grand slam actor. He is known as the top of the four domestic Mesozoic male stars' box office Ivy's, and he is a solid faction!

Of course, the most unnegligible reason is that Bai Qianchi has one more international best actor trophy than the other three Mesozoic actor winners, that is, the Golden Lion Award for Best Actor at the Venice Film Festival. (See this chapter for a detailed explanation here.)
The comedy action movie "Tonight" starring such a fierce man is certainly worth looking forward to by netizens.

Tianguang Media's "Investment Bank Men and Women" has an investment of 6000 million, and the male lead is Shen Nan, who is also one of the four Mesozoic "box office Ivy Leagues". It is also not to be underestimated.

Under the attack of these two blockbusters, "Chinese Partner" wants to get out, but it is not that simple.

Therefore, the announcement must not be left behind.

The next morning, Wei Xun got up to exercise as usual, but as soon as he got on the treadmill, Mao Bin walked in with a gloomy face and said, "Brother Xun, something happened, someone is messing with us behind our backs."

Wei Xun pressed the pause button of the treadmill, took the mobile phone handed over by Mao Bin, and frowned immediately after reading the content on it.

This article, which was crazily reposted by the marketing account, was: "The industry veteran criticizes Wei Xun's filming of "Wu Wen Xi Dong" during the filming of "Wu Wen Xi Dong", and lost his work attitude in order to make money."
