Huayu: As a child star, I just want to be famous

Chapter 108 Teacher Qilin is really working hard
"If not, I propose..."

"Of course, I prefer Kyoto Animation."

Anxi didn't expect that this Chinese writer actually had plans in advance.

He thought about Kyoto Animation's resume. Before 2000, this company mainly engaged in animation outsourcing. In recent years, it has started independent production. Last year's "Full Metal Panic" was also quite good.

Anxi looked around at the others and found that everyone was nodding, apparently no one objected.

He cursed inwardly, "Where has the spirit of recruiting nuclear weapons gone?"

Then he smiled and said, "The company that Teacher Qilin mentioned is good. We can discuss it."

In the end, as expected, the initiators Kodansha and Type-Moon both supported Chen Linfeng, and other investors had no objections. After all, he was indeed a good choice, and the original author did not make a random choice.

Chen Linfeng only participated in this meeting. After stating his demands, he left the follow-up to Takeuchi.

After all, the Fate series in the previous life became very popular under his management, so it would be better for him to stay out of it.

I chose Kyoto Animation specifically because I really liked their style of painting in my previous life. Moreover, they have had almost no failures in the past decade and have produced countless best-selling works. The success rate is highest when I entrust the production to them.

Next, Chen Linfeng appeared on a Japanese variety show for promotion as arranged by Kodansha.

It is true that there are differences in preferences for literary works between different countries.

Among his several works, Japanese people prefer "Fate", people in the United States and Europe prefer "Infinite World", and the Chinese people emphasize the concept of universal love, and each of them has a large audience.

The reason why there are so many people is that you can find a large number of people who like any flavor.

In recent years, fan creation of "Destiny" has become more and more popular in Japan, and he, the original author, is also well known by many Japanese book fans and GalGame fans.

In variety shows, there is a segment where the actors can talk to fans in the audience.

Many fans of his books came to the event, and the atmosphere was very warm.

The fact that Chen Linfeng knew Neon language was a great advantage, although he didn't put much effort into learning it.

But the Japanese people didn’t know that when they saw Teacher Qilin talking to them directly on the spot without the need for a translator, their favorable impression of him increased sharply.

"It's so touching. Teacher Qilin took the trouble to learn the Japanese language in order to talk to us."

“The teacher is really working hard.”

Chen Linfeng saw many fans showing off their fan creations at the scene, and there was even a girl who drew the basic pictures of Zheng Ge and the Emperor.

He almost couldn't hold it in place.

It seems that Japan's gay culture has had a mass base for a long time, right?

Zheng Ge’s current popularity in Japan has somewhat exceeded his imagination.

Chen Linfeng saw many fans wearing T-shirts with Zheng Ge's portrait printed on them at the scene, which should have been produced by Type-Moon Company.

During the fan Q&A session, the most asked question was whether Zheng Ge would return to the Throne of Heroes in "Destiny 2" and whether he would appear again in the future.

When he was writing the character of Zheng Ge, he intentionally referred to the template of Jin Shanshan in his previous life, both of which had a bit of a middle school and cool feeling. Later on, he also intentionally or unintentionally highlighted Zheng Ge's status, which I think is exactly what the Japanese like.

Chen Linfeng would naturally not spoil the fun in such an occasion, and said that the character of Zheng Ge would appear later.

There should be more cases where Chinese celebrities are popular in other countries.

The promotional activities in Neon lasted about a week, and then he and Sister Mei went to Emily Ken together.

Los Angeles is still full of lights and wine.

Like last time, Pete took Chen Linfeng from the airport to the hotel.

This time he changed to a sports car and inadvertently showed off his strength.

After arriving at the hotel, Chen Linfeng asked about the promotion process of the new book.

"One week in the United States, plus ten days in Europe. May said you'll be going to school in September, so this time is perfect."

Pete briefly introduced the subsequent schedule. Then he couldn't wait to ask, "Last time, almost all the members of Team ZZ died. Have they been resurrected in Infinite World 2 this time?"

Chen Linfeng asked in confusion, "Didn't I send you the manuscript in advance? Why didn't you read the original text? I thought you weren't a stickler for conventions."

Pete rolled his eyes, "It's all in Chinese. I wish I could understand it."

Chen Linfeng didn't expect this and laughed, "Then you'd better wait. I don't want to ruin your reading experience."

Pete raised his middle finger and said, "You better be resurrected, or I will kick your ass on behalf of other book fans."

This publicity campaign is still mainly based on regular new book promotion activities. Chen Linfeng did not participate in more TV programs like he did a few months ago, but focused on offline meet-and-greet and exchange meetings.

The publicity effects from a few months ago, whether it was Time magazine or Conan’s late-night show, are still having an effect.

Time magazine included his novels in its annual list of 100 recommended books, and many people bought his books based on this list. The video of him kicking a sword is still going viral online.

The heat has been maintained well.

Therefore, Chen Linfeng did not agree to continue the plan of promoting on TV. After all, it is very tiring to come up with live content.

In addition, in terms of promotional methods, the new book has added online promotion.

The first is the promotion of reading forums. This requires publishers to contact the administrators of the forums one by one and take certain preferential measures in guiding public opinion.

At this time, not many traditional publishing houses are carrying out similar operations.

Secondly, a new website that is very popular among college students was launched at the beginning of this year - Facebook, which has covered most of the Ivy League schools in a short period of time.

The students of these schools highly overlap with the audience of Chen Linfeng's works.

When Chen Linfeng asked the publishing house to contact them and said he wanted to place an advertisement, they almost thought he was joking.

Facebook quickly sent someone to negotiate with him.

"Hello, Chen. I'm Zuckerberg."

Chen Linfeng looked at the curly-haired young man in front of him with some surprise, and stretched out his arm to shake hands with him.

“I didn’t expect the big boss of Facebook would come in person.”

Although Zuckerberg was in high spirits, he had no reason to be proud when facing the genius who was younger than him.

At least not yet.

“We value this collaboration very much.”

He said sincerely, "I like reading your novels, too. CHU is very cool. I've been waiting for his resurrection. He will appear in the new book, right?"

Chen Linfeng laughed and refused to reveal the plot.

The two people discussed the cooperation.

Chen Linfeng hoped to negotiate a three-year advertising agreement at one time, and paid a considerable fee considering the current market conditions.

Although Zuckerberg was very tempted, he still hesitated and said, "Three years seems a bit long. How about we change it to one year at a time?"

Chen Linfeng directly gave a negative attitude, "It's not easy for me to come from China once a year. It's too cumbersome."

"How about this?" He changed the condition.
"Considering that your website is growing rapidly, I can pay one-third of the cost in the first year, and increase the cost by 10% each year for the next two years."

Well, this is pretty good.

Zuckerberg liked the other party's optimism about his website very much and agreed directly.

Before he left, Chen Linfeng couldn't help but asked a question.

“Will Facebook accept my investment?”
