After Christmas, the Times published an interview with Lin Zixuan.

This is a comprehensive newspaper with forty pages covering news, comments, culture and art, business and finance, television and entertainment.

The interview with Lin Zixuan is not the kind of timely news. I will not say that today's interview will be published tomorrow. It will take a few days before I have the opportunity to publish it.

If there are too many articles on the literary and artistic pages during this period, you may have to wait for a week or two.

The interview manuscripts account for half of the page and are not conspicuous in the entire newspaper.

This is the West Christmas, and we are about to welcome the arrival of the new century. There are countless news happening every day, and not many British readers are following this interview.

To them, Lin Zixuan is just a famous foreign writer.

Lin Zixuan read the report and found that the reporter's manuscript was quite realistic and did not deliberately misinterpret his meaning.

There is a half-body photo on it, introducing his past works, focusing on the interpretation of "Xiaoxue's Big Adventure".

The whole report is normal and ordinary.

The Times is a relatively serious newspaper, which is different from those tabloids who like to be sensational.

For example, the title of this article is "The Creator of "The Big Adventure of Xiaoxue" and Interview with Chinese Writers".

If you want to attract the attention of readers, you can use more exaggerated titles like "He created the magical world" or "The wizard attacks Britain".

This is exactly the report of some British tabloids on the signing of "Little Snow's Big Adventure", which is not long.

The accompanying picture is a photo of Chen Lu and a young reader. This kind of photo is more attractive than the author's own photos.

Lin Zixuan's signing event caused some response in the UK, but the response was not much, far from sensational.

According to news from the publisher, "Xiaoxue's Big Adventure" sold more than 5,000 copies around Christmas, which also stimulated the sales results of the first two novels.

According to their estimates, the total sales of this series of novels in the UK will exceed one million copies.

This is related to the population base of the UK. Their entire country has a population of less than 60 million, which is incomparable to the more than one billion people in China. It is very good to have this sales.

In China, the total sales of "Little Snow's Adventure" reached 8 million copies, and in terms of pirated versions, it can have 15 million copies.

Moreover, the influence brought by the series of novels has just begun to appear and will show a snowball-like growth in the future.

Especially after making a movie, the combination of popular novels and popular culture will lead to a big explosion in sales.

On the Times bestseller list, "The Big Adventure of Little Snow" ranks at the top.

Only when the novel will be published in the United States and Europe in February next year will it be considered to be truly going to the world.

Lin Zixuan flipped through other newspapers, and the content was similar and there was nothing worth paying attention to, or his influence was not yet at the point where he caused debate in the British media and literary circles.

On this day, he and Chen Lu went to the store to shop, saw the enthusiasm of the British to fight, and bought a lot of gifts.

At night, he sent the girl back to the family where he was staying, and he breathed a sigh of relief and entered work.

The assistants and lawyers he brought were busy reviewing contracts and communicating with British lawyers to ensure that Lin Zixuan's novels benefited from various countries.

It’s not that he doesn’t trust his literary agent, but that “Xiaoxue’s Big Adventure” is different.

British publishers and Ritter just regarded it as a potential bestseller, but could not imagine how much value this novel could create in the future.

Lin Zixuan must ensure that there will be no legal disputes in the future.

"Mr. Lin, after the contract review has been completed, you have made modifications according to your opinion, and the other party can sign after confirmation." The lawyer reported, "As for the registration of trademarks, I have consulted. It is best to find a British agency to handle it, and there are derivatives of novel content, which involve many industries and require time to sort it out."

Lin Zixuan wants to register trademarks for the names associated with "Xiaoxue's Big Adventure" in the United Kingdom, the United States and other countries.

Including the names of the characters, the names of the Magic Academy in the book, etc.

Once someone is snatched from registration first, it will be very troublesome. If you have to continue to sue, it is better to start first. He can authorize others to use it and charge a certain authorization fee.

There are many types of derivatives of novels, such as magic robes and magic hats, as well as various species images that appear in the book.

The profession of magician has long existed in the West. Any clothing store can make magic robes, but the names of characters in "Xiaoxue's Big Adventure" cannot be embroidered on the magic robes for sale.

Derivatives involve industries such as clothing, toys, theme parks, etc., with a huge industrial chain and a team is needed to manage it.

Piracy is rampant in China, and derivatives are basically irrelevant to writers, but they represent huge interests abroad.

Although it seems too early and the novel has not had that much influence, it is always ready for trouble.

"Let's do this. You stayed in the UK during the past New Year and finished the work. This project will develop, including the production of movies and the adaptation of stage plays." Lin Zixuan arranged, "This time, laying the foundation well and finding agents who can cooperate for a long time will be much more convenient in the future."

When Lin Zixuan attended the signing party in London, Li An was in New York for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

The drama "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" lasted nearly ten months from the preliminary preparations to the completion of filming. Among them, Li An did not go home for eight months and spent most of her time on the set.

During the filming process, you must maintain a high degree of sensitivity, be mentally excited, and be able to persist.

After filming, his body began to protest, and he stayed in the hospital for several days.

The later recordings were divided into two groups, with four people in the first group, who specialized in recording music and collaborated with the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra to record the soundtrack of the movie at the Shanghai Radio and Television Building.

The Shanghai Radio and Television Building has purchased a brand new set of recording equipment according to the specifications of British recording studios.

Another group of films in New York was doing sound effects and mixing together music, dialogue and sound effects.

The sound effects of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" are quite complicated. American sound effects artists have never made martial arts films and lack experience in this area.

For example, the sound of the Qingming Sword is strange and unpredictable, and the sound changes during the confrontation of weapons cannot be recorded at the shooting site.

Because the martial arts scenes were just a gesture during the shooting, and the weapons could not be touched at all, so how could they make sounds? These sounds were recorded in the later stage.

The sound effectsist wanted to experiment with the frequency of the sound little by little, and Li Yan stared at him.

As long as there is a little difference between the dialogue and the sound effects, Li An will call back and let the sound effects engineer rework until he feels satisfied, which will cause great pressure to make the mixing engineer.

To make something of a standard, you have to grind it slowly (to be continued).
