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

Chapter 174 The rising sun
But this kind of thing can't be said to be a bad thing.

Sister Mei advised, "These opinions may just be the propaganda strategy of the Forum Society. Xiaofeng, you should not take it too seriously."

Chen Linfeng thought about it and thought that maybe this was really possible.

The reason why the Forum Society is working so hard this time is naturally because they see the benefits.

Previously, Chen Linfeng agreed to adapt "Destiny" into an animation, which was completed and broadcast last year.

As a result, no one expected that Kyoto Animation and the work would be unexpectedly compatible.

BD sales exceeded 8 copies in one fell swoop, and the data is still slowly rising, which is about to enter the top three in history.

The otakus in the anime circle are going crazy. The combination of Kyoto Animation's meticulous drawings and Kirin-sensei's wonderful stories is an ultimate aesthetic enjoyment.

When the animation of that season was broadcast, it occupied most of the pages of most animation news at that time.

As a result, the sales of physical novels in the "Destiny" series surged by 200 million year-on-year in half a year, and the subsequent momentum has not slowed down in the slightest.

In terms of animation, it subsequently won the Agency for Cultural Affairs Award, Kobe Animation Award, and Tokyo Animation Award, the three major awards in Japanese animation.

It can be said that it has achieved both sales and reputation.

Chen Linfeng's reputation and influence in the Japanese ACG field are at their peak.

Not only does it have the support of a huge fan community, but it also has a huge number of book and animation fans.

In this case, not to mention the revenue from BD sales, copyright sales and authorization, and peripheral derivative revenues such as toys, clothing, and games are a huge number and are very long-lasting.

What is particularly crucial is that only 24 episodes of the season "The Beginning of Destiny" have been produced so far. According to the settings, there will be numerous spin-offs and different world lines in the future.

This is a big pie, and the Forum Society does not want any problems in its partnership with this person due to any possible reasons.

Not only that, Chen Linfeng's other works also have the potential to be animated, such as "Book of Life and Death" and "Infinite World".

Of course, another factor is Noma’s strong support within the company.

He has now been promoted to the position of editor-in-chief. If he wants to move up further, he can't just focus on publishing literary works.

His background can certainly guarantee his position in Kodansha, and as long as he accumulates experience, he can climb up step by step.

However, since he has already climbed to the position of editor-in-chief at such a young age, who would not want to go one step further and have a glimpse of the bigger position?

The relationship with Chen Linfeng can still play a role in this process.

Teacher Qilin's international influence is growing day by day. As a discoverer, he uses this opportunity to make his name known to more people.

In addition, his works have great potential in copyright operation, which is also a way to demonstrate his operational capabilities.

It doesn’t mean that you can’t demonstrate your abilities by working on other works. There is a question of attention here.

Taking the historical and animated work EVA as an example, people are paying attention to every link from the director to the animation production committee to behind the scenes. Even many years later, some people will still talk about it as insider news.

But if we change it to an unknown work, no one will care about its development process.

Mr. Kirin's works have the ability to attract people's attention. The reason why Noma was able to successfully take over as editor-in-chief is that he was noticed by the higher-ups for his contribution to the animation process of "The Beginning of Fate".

Sometimes Noma couldn't help but sigh that he was lucky enough to meet Teacher Qilin.

At this moment, he recalled the time when he first met Chen Linfeng.

Although he can't remember it clearly, he still remembers the scene where the three publishing houses met with Teacher Qi Lin one by one as if it was an interview.

You worked really hard, Noma. You managed to snatch Teacher Kirin from the battlefield with thousands of soldiers and horses. This is undoubtedly your credit.

Noma thought so and said so to other people in the company.

If I had not been so wise and brave as to snatch Teacher Qilin from other publishing houses, we would have had to watch others eat the meat.

Of course, other people within Kodansha would definitely not accept this.

Isn't it just sheer luck that I met such a rich man? If I had been there at the time, I would definitely have been able to negotiate it.

Only because Noma's status and background were high enough, no one could take the credit for this achievement.

The staff members who negotiated with Noma at that time had long been replaced by other people of status through underground transactions and historical records. …

Due to various factors, although Chen Linfeng published books more and more slowly, Kodansha valued him more.

Chen Linfeng participated in two days of regular media publicity and interviews.

When asked by reporters whether he was confident of winning the Akutagawa Prize, he did not hesitate to express his confidence.

"I think my work deserves this award. As for who the award actually goes to, that depends on the organizer's intention."

Unlike other candidate authors who were humble, Chen Linfeng showed a completely different attitude.

This is also Chen Linfeng's consistent personality trait in Neon.

Humble and confident.

This is the first impression that Japanese people have of him.

It may be because when Chen Linfeng first faced them, he felt like he was looking down on them, which unconsciously manifested itself in their communication.

But because of his behavior and speech, he remained polite and humble enough, which gave the Japanese public such an impression.

Unexpectedly, the Japanese really liked his attitude. They thought that China was indeed a big country and that it always produced some elites. This also fits their stereotype of some macho men who suddenly appeared in China.

Chen Linfeng found that the Japanese liked this, so he just let it go, and gradually this kind of character emerged.

Speaking of which, in Japan, people who stand out or don't fit in are really disliked by those in their own country.

But when it comes to foreigners, they appreciate the tough and confident types more.

This is the image of Chen Linfeng in Neon.

As the award ceremony approached, Chen Linfeng specially changed his outfit.

Different from his previous sunny and casual style, this time he wore a business casual outfit.

Because of the weather in February, he added a long windbreaker on the outside.

Chen Linfeng is tall and has long legs, which makes his overall figure slender and stylish.

Add a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and Chen Linfeng's deliberately serious face, and he is simply the epitome of abstinence.

The point is not just this, this is the first time that Chen Linfeng has formally applied modern makeup.

In the past, the styling for filming was all ancient costumes, and in this era, TV dramas generally don’t make the characters too fair and tender, so the feeling is not very obvious.

Now that I’ve changed my clothes and put on makeup, it’s a bit overwhelming for others to resist.

The lady in makeup looked at him with watery eyes, and she was just about to leave her phone number and offer herself to him.

Sister Mei couldn't help but blush slightly when she saw how he was dressed.

This boy is getting more and more handsome. I didn't pay much attention to him when I saw him every day, but now he has changed his appearance and looks extremely handsome.

Fortunately, Xixi's appearance is high enough, so let these two people seduce each other.

I don’t know if it’s because appearance will gradually change along with the inner soul.

Chen Linfeng's appearance in this life began to have some characteristics of his previous life. After the two were combined, his appearance clearly exceeded the genetic limitations of the Chen family.

Especially due to his own experience, his temperament is different from that of ordinary people. He has the elegance of a scholar and the confidence of a time traveler, and he also has a sense of mystery, which makes him even more extraordinary.

Noma was waiting outside, and when Chen Linfeng came out, he couldn't help but be surprised, how could he be even more handsome.

The Akutagawa Prize award ceremony is held together with the Naoki Prize, both hosted by Bungeishunju.

Both awards are among the three major literary awards in Japan, but the Akutagawa Prize focuses more on newcomers and literature.

The Naoki Prize focuses more on mature writers and popular literature. Originally, this award was the most suitable for Chen Linfeng, but the award is not given to foreigners, so the Akutagawa Prize is more suitable.

Chen Linfeng and Sister Mei were brought into the venue by Noma.
