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

Chapter 169: Reconciliation
Shi Xiaolong gave him a suspicious look and was about to speak.

At this time, Sister Mei opened the door and came in. She had the key to the house and used to help feed the cat when Chen Linfeng was not at home.

Sister Mei has been visiting Emily Ken frequently recently to negotiate with Pixar, and is still working on the terms.

Seeing her come back early this time, Chen Linfeng asked, "Sister Mei, why did you come back early?"

Sister Mei closed the door, changed her shoes, and said, "Pixar is a little interested and said they need to think about it. After a while, they will have Christmas holiday, so I might as well come back early."

She ran to the kitchen, poured herself a cup of hot tea, and sat on the sofa.

He took a sip to warm himself up, then said, "I came back for another reason this time, which is to talk about something about 'Her'."

This book was not only published in China, but was also translated and sold abroad.

Among them, its popularity in Europe and the United States is, as expected, rather average.

But in Neon, it’s different.

Many of the problems described in the book are more in line with the psychological state of the Japanese.

Although there are some cultural differences, the male protagonist cannot bear the pressure of society (most of them do not understand things like information cocoons), so he chooses to escape from social interaction and fall in love with artificial intelligence. This perfectly fits the public's perception of the Heisei otaku.

The Japanese media called it "a heavy blow to the hearts of young people in Japan."

Literary critics have been lavishing praises on the novel.

"Her" doesn't even have such an exaggerated momentum in China, how can I describe it specifically?

Mei said directly, "Kodansha is currently trying to build momentum and try to win the Akutagawa Prize next year. I heard from Noma that there is a good chance."

Chen Linfeng couldn't help but ask, "Isn't the Akutagawa Prize an award specifically for newcomers?"

Mei's expression was complicated. "There is no clear definition of the so-called newcomer. Do you think a novelist under the age of 18 can be considered a newcomer?"

"This." Chen Linfeng couldn't hold it anymore. It turned out that it could be interpreted this way?

"Not only Japan, but also the Chinese Writers' Association has made some moves. They want to invite you to officially join the association."

In fact, this issue has been discussed a few years ago.

Chen Linfeng is an international best-selling author, but he is still not a couplet writer. Isn't this a joke to outsiders?

But because of the unpleasantness in his early years, Chen Linfeng never took the initiative to apply to join the Writers' Association, and the Writers' Association was not in a position to invite others to join.

This time, Chen Linfeng wrote a less popular work, which was highly recognized by the vast majority of people, whether literary critics or other writers.

Zuo Lian felt that he couldn't drag it on any longer. This Xiao Chen had no intention of giving in. If he didn't take the opportunity to show goodwill, the situation would become more and more embarrassing as time went on.

Chen Linfeng had no objection to this. Since the other party had extended an olive branch, he would just accept it. After all, what happened back then could only be attributed to a few individuals in the alliance and could not be generalized to the entire organization.

The next day after receiving Chen Linfeng's message, Zuo Lian rushed to his home and discussed with Chen Linfeng in detail the next step of applying for membership.

The Writers' Association no longer hesitated and directly stated that it could take the initiative to issue a statement. It was the Writers' Association that took the initiative to invite Chen Linfeng, and he gladly accepted it.

Then, you can hold an initiation ceremony to express that everyone has admired each other for a long time and that they hit it off right away.

Chen Linfeng thought, this is quite a lot of drama.

But the other party was quite considerate, so I didn't make a fuss about it.

A week later, the Writers Association held an initiation ceremony and Chen Linfeng attended on time.

The leaders of the association were all beaming with joy, having recruited a new general. No one would gossip about them anymore.

Chen Linfeng was also laughing. He thought that when he published a new book in the future, there would be one less group of people criticizing him, which was not bad.

The reporters then conducted interviews, and one of them asked a completely unrelated question.

"Excuse me, what do you think of Chen Kaige's new movie 'The Promise'?" Chen Linfeng's smile froze.

No, during this period of time, he has tried his best to avoid media interviews, and he also thought that the reporters hired by Zuo Lian should not have anything to do with the entertainment industry.

Feelings, you two are connected, right?

Director Chen Da’s films have lost their reputation.

Although there was no blockbuster "A Murder Caused by a Bun" at that time, Chen Kaige's decision to cancel "The Promise" to occupy the entire schedule was too offensive.

When the quality of a movie is poor, its reputation will collapse especially quickly.

The media seemed to have found the code to traffic and they all approached people in the entertainment industry to ask them to comment on director Chen Da's "The Promise".

When Chen Linfeng encountered this kind of question, he could only avoid the question and say, "The picture is quite good, with the usual quality of director Chen Kaige."

"What do you think of the plot?"

“I watched it in the cinema.”

"Hiss!" This writer Chen is a master of Tai Chi.

The reporter continued to ask, "I mean, what do you think of the plot of the movie "The Promise"?"

"I think director Chen Kaige must have a deep meaning. As a new director, I don't understand it, but I was deeply shocked."

The reporter was still waiting for follow-up words, but after waiting for a while, he found that there was no follow-up.

"Is this gone?"

Chen Linfeng said seriously, "Yes, the above is my complete opinion on the movie "The Promise". Thank you, next one."

Excluding this cross-border reporter, the others are still reliable, and their questions are all related to literary works.

For example, a reporter asked him what he thought of today's online novels.

This kind of question is more appropriate.

Chen Linfeng replied, "I think publishing novels online is also a future trend. I like some works, such as last year's "New Song" and "Way of the Dragon", this year's "Starting from Zero" and "The Best Man", I like them very much."

Today's reporter interview was subsequently reported and posted online, sparking a lot of discussion among netizens.

"Does Xiao Chen think Director Chen's movies are good or bad? I don't quite understand."

"That's right, you don't understand. Xiao Chen doesn't understand it either. I can only say that I'm deeply shocked."

"I don't understand it, but I am deeply shocked.jpg."

On the same day, someone made the video of Chen Linfeng saying this into a GIF and circulated it on various forums. It has almost become the best image to mock Director Chen's movies.

Fortunately, this picture is not as popular as "Mantou", and people like Chen Kaige who don't go online probably don't know about it.

In addition, some of the online articles that Chen Linfeng mentioned in an interview with another reporter also attracted the attention of his many book fans.

I was wondering why you were so slow in writing a new book, and it turns out you were secretly reading other online novels.

Immediately, many netizens denounced him and ordered him to correct his mistakes quickly and stop posting online articles.

Of course, there are also many people who are curious and actually read the online novels mentioned above, and then quickly become addicted and become the poor people who keep up with the latest updates.

At this time, the script of "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" was almost completed, or in other words, the first two stories had been basically written, and the subsequent stories also had an overall framework.

Now we can start a series of formal preparatory work such as auditions and location selection.

Chen Shantong went directly to him and asked for his opinion.
