Self-cultivation of entertainment bigwigs

Chapter 220 The Ambition of Setting Sail

The news that Qihang will enter the international market has been released not long ago, but there is no clear notice of the specific opening date.

About why Qihang set up this international station, Zhao Qian also has some understanding.

Since last year, online novels have unexpectedly become popular abroad, and more and more foreigners like to read online novels.

One of the English novel websites, which specializes in translating domestic online texts, was renamed "wuxiaworld" (Martial Arts World), attracting millions of readers from more than 100 countries around the world, including North America, Western Europe, and Southeast Asia, with average daily page visits exceeding 300 million, ranking 1320 in the world's website click-through rate list, which is almost the same as Qiqi's 1170.

You must know that it took Qihang 15 years of hard work to build the website to the current scale, but the other party's small website actually has so much traffic.

Therefore, such a sudden emergence of a novel website has attracted Qihang's attention.

Qihang executives first proposed to acquire Wuxia World, but were rejected by the other party.Later, the two parties reached an agreement, and Wuxia World purchased the license from Qihang to serialize and translate 20 of the novels.

It needs to be stated that this "martial arts world" overseas novel website was not authorized by Qihang at the beginning, that is to say, it is an English pirated website.

Although readers will pay translators for their manuscripts, the money is not distributed to the authors, and only one or two translators are willing to pay copyright fees to the original authors. (Later, the two translators jumped to the international station where Qihang started, and were called traitors.)
If things go on like this, both parties will be fine.For a long time, both sides have ushered in a period of rapid development.

The focus of Qihang is still on the domestic market. Although the foreign market is large, the road is not so easy to walk, and Qihang is currently surrounded by enemies in the country.

However, Qihang discovered that in addition to the 20 authorized novels purchased by the other party, some other works that had not purchased the copyright were also translated and serialized on it. He immediately asked the other party to remove the unauthorized translated novels, but was rejected by the other party.The two sides fell out completely, Qihang said that he would sue Wuxia World for infringement in court, and Wuxia World also stated that he would sue Qihang.

At the same time, Qihang was also attacked by a foreign DDOS, causing the server to be paralyzed for a while.Afterwards, the website announcement stated that these DDOS attacks came from the martial arts world.

Wuxia World retorted that it had also been attacked, and it was from Qihang's side.

Both sides hold their ground.

Therefore, Qihang decided to build an international station by itself.

Zhao Qian fell into deep thought after reading the post. If it is really possible to promote online novels abroad, that would be a good thing.

From the individual level, it can open up new channels and increase the income of authors; from the company level, it is conducive to the global layout of the sailing, creating Oriental Disney and Marvel-level IP; from the national level, cultural export to the outside world will allow more of foreigners understand oriental culture.

Therefore, this point is still worth supporting, even if it is really free to win popularity in the early stage.

It’s just that the yellow net has proved that there is only a dead end for free online novels. The Qihang executives expect foreigners’ brain circuits to be different from those of Chinese people?
The future is uncertain!

……

"Student Zhao Xiaoqian, the food is ready! Come and help me get the bowl!"

Li Wanqing's voice came from the kitchen.

"Understood!" Zhao Qian quickly put down the phone.

The matter of setting sail to the international station can be slow first, the sky is big and the earth is big, and the meal is the biggest!
After eating, take a shower, watch TV, and play computer games. Li Wanqing cooked glutinous rice balls for supper.

Today is the fifteenth day, and fireworks are being set off in many places outside, and most of the night sky is brightly lit.Although fireworks are banned in southern cities, there will be places where collective arrangements are made to set off fireworks. Sitting in front of the window and eating Lantern Festival while admiring fireworks is a joy.

Looking back, Li Wanqing was calling her mother.

Zhao Qian had already called his family during the day, so he asked his parents about their health and how the family was doing. There were not many topics to talk about.

the next day.

After the update, Zhao Qian went to Qihang's international website to check, and found that the page was not well done. Compared with Qihang's Chinese website, it was far behind, and many functions were not perfect.

To his surprise, there was his own book on it, and it was also listed on the big recommendation on the home page.It's just that this translation, whether it's the title or the introduction, made me, an English major, dizzy.

Rebirth of the urban cultivate immortality?
What the hell!

What the hell is this? !
This is how the title of "Rebirth in the City Cultivating Immortals" is translated?Don't lie to me because I don't study much!

For some reason, it always seems to be full of disobedience.

"Hey, there are so many readers just after opening the website?"

Zhao Qian saw that there were already many comments in the book review section of many works. However, when he looked carefully, he found that most of the comments were direct one-star evaluations, which pushed the overall rating of many books to less than 4 stars.There are also all kinds of bad reviews, and some even threaten to start the business.

Is this a butchered version?
Zhao Qian finally understood that these people came from the world of martial arts, just to boycott Qihang International Station.

It seems that liking to watch pirated and free games is a common problem of all human beings!
Those who say that European and American countries have good copyright awareness and no piracy all day long can sleep well. Facts have proved that piracy is still happening abroad, and it is just as rampant. It's just that domestic public knowledge doesn't want everyone to see it.

Sweden's "Pirate Bay" is the world's largest BT seed server. It has countless pirated resources and even blatantly carries the banner of anti-copyright. It is much more rampant than in China after the Internet was purged.

Zhao Qian also went to the website of the martial arts world, it was worse than Long Kong, and there were a lot of annoying advertisements, he was speechless.

Forget it, let Qihang have a headache, I am a small writer, at most I can help wave the flag and shout.

Back at Qihang International Station, I clicked on the English version of "Cultivating Immortals in the City", read a few chapters and then crossed it out.I really can't understand it, and it seems that there are many grammatical errors in it.

Zhao Qian hesitated, but decided to redeem a copy of the "English Literature Knowledge Series" to improve his English level. As an English major, it would not be a disadvantage for him to improve his professional knowledge anyway.

After reading it, I found that there are indeed many small problems. It seems that the translation is not good.

He left a message to Qingsong: "Your translation skills don't seem to be very good? I saw that there are many grammatical errors in the English version of "Urban Cultivation" on the international website."

Qingsong was very speechless after seeing it, and replied: "We are not in charge of the international station, but the company has set up a new department to manage it. After all, it is normal for a new station to have some minor problems."

"Then help me report this to the colleagues in your company who are in charge of this area, and optimize the website interface by the way, it looks so ugly now." Zhao Qian said.

Qingsong continued to be speechless and replied: "Okay."

After a while, Qingsong asked him again: "How is your English translation?"
