Chapter 1678 moved
The documents sent by Yao Yihan not only included the sales of the novel "The Furnace" in the past three days, but also pointed out that publishers from Japan, the United States and even China have contacted j-young fashion and culture company to purchase the copyright of the novel and translate and publish the foreign version of the novel.
It is no wonder that when the new book launch conference was held three days ago, there were media from China, the United States, and Japanese in the three countries, and media from three countries, all reported on the novel "The Furrow" in their own countries. Even the media from China also reported on. Now the three countries are also paying attention to this matter, and this is undoubtedly a good business opportunity for publishers in the three countries.
Nowadays, not only is the physical book market in South Korea increasingly sluggish, but the same is true for the United States and Japan, but China's e-book market has also risen, and China's physical book market has suffered an impact, so publishers must seize the business opportunities.
Of course, Kim Jingcheng is willing to be a serious literary novel in the traditional sense of South Korea that can be translated into English, Japanese or even Chinese versions. Looking at the contemporary Korean literary world, few people can do it. Even the best-selling novel before Kong Jiyong, "Our Happy Time", has never been released in foreign languages. South Korea is very small after all, and the Korean literary world rarely receives international attention.
China is much stronger in this regard, because China is very big and a big country. Although fewer and fewer people pay attention to Chinese contemporary writers in China, many young people born in the 1980s even think that the novels of Chinese contemporary writers are unsightly, let alone those born in the 1990s, it is undeniable that China still has many good contemporary writers and contemporary novels. For example, Mo Yan, Jia Pingwa, Chi Zijian, Chinese contemporary writers and contemporary novels will pay some attention internationally, at least much stronger than South Korea. Because of this, Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2012 in his previous life.
But this matter is not enough for Kim Jingcheng to do so. The novel "The Furnace" was not written by him but a work written by Kong Zhiyong. Although the novel was signed in j-young Fashion Culture Company, the copyright is still in the hands of Kong Zhiyong, so this matter must be approved by Kong Zhiyong.
Jin Jingcheng immediately called Kong Zhiyong and told Kong Zhiyong about the record-breaking sales of the novel "The Furnace" in the past three days. Even a female writer like Kong Zhiyong couldn't help but be excited when she learned that the novel "The Furnace" had sold more than 100,000 copies in three days. However, when she calmed down, she said to Jin Jingcheng: "Mr. Jin Jingcheng, I have a request."
Jin Jingcheng asked, "Just say it."
Kong Zhiyong said: "I want to donate most of the royalties in this novel to help those disabled girls who have suffered x-inflicted in Gwangju, but I don't know how to do this. I hope it can be completed by the melting pot charity foundation you set up."
Jin Jingcheng was moved. Kong Zhiyong meant to invest most of the royalties in the Furnace Charity Foundation and donate them to those disabled girls who suffered from x-infight who were attacked by Gwangju. This is also a support for Jin Jingcheng, because the Furnace Charity Foundation is about to be created by Jin Jingcheng.
The novel "The Furnace" is so popular, and there are many royalties. For female writers like Kong Zhiyong, this is a huge amount. The total royalties of the books that Kong Zhiyong has written to this day are much worse than the royalties in the novel "The Furnace". However, Kong Zhiyong can resist this temptation and proactively and generously propose to donate most of the royalties, which makes Jin Jingcheng appreciate Kong Zhiyong more.
Kim Jong-sung said: "Writer Kong Zhiyong, I am very moved that you are willing to do this. I have to thank you for your support to the Melting Furnace Charity Foundation. However, I still want to suggest that even if you want to donate the royalties of the novel "Melting Furnace", don't donate most of them. Donate half of them. As a serious Korean contemporary writer, it is not easy for you. To be honest, the books you wrote before did not bring you a lot of financial rewards. This time, the novel "Melting Furnace" can bring, which is what you deserve. You leave half of the royalties, so that you can have more life guarantees and improve your living environment can also ensure that you are more focused on writing."
This time it was Kong Zhiyong's turn to be moved. If anyone else wanted her to invest such high royalties into her charity foundation. Jin Jingcheng thought about her at this time and even gave her reasons, persuading her to donate less royalties.
The touched Kong Zhiyong said from the bottom of his heart: "I just think the children in Gwangju are so pitiful and really want to do something for them."
Jin Jingcheng said: "You have done enough. You have written the novel "The Furnace" and screenwriter the script of the movie "The Furnace", which reawakens everyone's attention to the incident of the disabled girl in Gwangju x-invasion, so it would be great if you are willing to donate half of the royalties. Besides, I can assure you that the box office of the movie "The Furnace" will definitely be very high at that time, and there will be a lot of money to help those children in Gwangju, and you don't need to donate more royalties."
"Okay, I understand." Kong Zhiyong responded, thinking: "Yes, this incident has already caused such a sensation now. In addition, the movie "The Furnace" is directed by Mr. Jin Jingcheng himself, how could the box office be low at that time? But Mr. Jin Jingcheng said that all the economic benefits obtained by the movie "The Furnace" will be used to establish the Furnace Charity Foundation. Compared with the box office of this movie, the royalties of the novel "The Furnace" are nothing."
Kong Zhiyong suddenly couldn't help asking: "Mr. Jin Jingcheng, can the movie "The Furnace" really be filmed and released smoothly?"
In this regard, Kong Zhiyong was very confident in Kim Jingcheng, but Kim Jingcheng made too much noise at the launch of the novel "The Furnace" and the response was too strong. Many people on the Internet have opposed and scolded Kim Jingcheng, which made Kong Zhiyong wonder whether Kim Jingcheng can successfully shoot and release the movie "The Furnace" by then. As a very responsible female writer who has been challenging authority, Kong Zhiyong is quite familiar with Korean officials and Korean netizens. According to her understanding, this movie "The Furnace" may not be filmed and released, and will be stopped by Korean officials and Korean netizens.
Kim Jingcheng responded calmly: "Don't worry, I will definitely let the movie "The Furnace" be filmed and released smoothly."
"I'll feel relieved with you." Kong Zhiyong said. She believed that since Jin Jingcheng said that, it means that he was indeed very sure.
Jin Jingcheng suddenly asked, "By the way, are you willing to sign a contract with my company?"
Kong Zhiyong was stunned for a moment: "I? Sign up with your company?"
No wonder she was surprised. She was just a writer, a serious literary writer, and not a celebrity artist. How could she sign a contract with Jin Jingcheng's company?
