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

Chapter 192 I am not in the arena, but my name is still circulating in the arena
This time is very similar to that time, with both big and small media coming together, plus industry discussions and heated discussions among the public, it became a national topic in a short period of time.

And just when Chen Linfeng was trying his best to lower the heat, someone was adding fuel to the fire, even though the intention was not directed at him.

The famous "Han-Bai War" in the history of China's Internet broke out.

The cause was that an older literary critic, Bai Hua, published an article titled "The Current Situation and Future of the Post-80s Generation," in which he said that writers born in the 80s only entered the market but not the literary world, and he specifically excluded Chen Linfeng.

It gives me a sense of "Xiao Chen, please stand up. I am not targeting anyone. Everyone here is garbage."

After Chen Linfeng, the most representative writer born in the 80s is naturally Han Han, and he feels very unhappy.

So I responded with a blog post titled "The literary world is shit, no one should pretend to be cool."

The article expressed dissatisfaction with Bai Hua's behavior of dividing people by age, and mocked him for only picking on the weak. Chen Linfeng has always been the representative of popular writers and the representative of post-80s writers, so why was he fired?

Bai Hua responded with a post, mocking Han Han for his foul language and low moral character. He also mentioned that Chen Linfeng's "She" is a typical literary work that has already entered the literary field.

Han Han retorted: You talk to me about morality, so I will talk to you about morality. He directly questioned Bai Hua's past behavior of praising some people in his literary reviews, which was very unprofessional.

At the end, the topic of Chen Linfeng was brought up again, saying that he has always been a popular writer, and even "She" is written vividly and interestingly, which can be seen from the sales volume.

This is the interesting point. The two people not only cursed each other, but also had to drag Chen Linfeng into their camp to prove the correctness of their statements.

It made the onlookers laugh.

"Which side is Xiao Chen on?"

"I was having a blast criticizing the post-80s generation, but then this bug of Chen Linfeng showed up. I had no choice but to pick him out. Han Han is such a smart guy, I must hold on to him."

"It's so funny. He received an Oscar in Hollywood, but his family gave him the title of 'representative of the post-80s generation' and 'new young man in the literary world'."

This back-and-forth tug of war between Chen Linfeng and other literary critics continued until the other literary critics left.

They tacitly agreed not to mention Chen Linfeng, but only blamed Han Han for being a traitor, saying that he had someone to teach him but no one to take care of him.

Han Han even accused Bai Hua of having no professional ethics, and accused him of being a certain guard of the new era, the continuation of XX.

Han Han was not afraid at all. While fighting back, he continued to pull Chen Linfeng as a weapon. His magic weapon was very useful against the old man.

It makes the other person feel disgusted.

Han Han's fans also came out to help fight back.

Chen Linfeng's fans were happily watching the show, and some of them, who were also born in the 80s, spoke up to help.

The Baihua side found it difficult to cope.

This debate continued until Chen Linfeng returned to China, and it reached a new climax.

More people expressed their opinions, Jie Xizhang wrote an article to support him, and the deputy editor-in-chief of "People's Literature" wrote an article criticizing some post-80s writers, and of course also picked Chen Linfeng out.

Han Han confronted the issue head-on, saying that literary critics were not doing their job, even though some mediocre articles could reach the sky.

Take a female author named Bella for example. Some newspapers boasted that Fox spent millions of dollars to buy the copyright of her book.

This is an obvious scam, deceiving the public into believing they have a poor ability to search for information, and involving a group of "big names" in the literary world in the hype.

Including researchers and professors from the Institute of Social Sciences, Institute of Literature, and other institutions, as well as professors from the Chinese Departments of Yan University and Shuimu University, all were named one by one.

"Chen Linfeng is a serious copyright seller in Hollywood, but he has never boasted like this. Instead, he dares to brag about a work that no one has ever heard of. He keeps saying that I have no morals. Where are the morals of you 'seniors'?"

It’s still the same old routine, first fighting back and providing evidence of the bad things the other party has done, and finally pulling Chen Linfeng in as a comparison, showing the integrity and strength of the post-80s generation.

It's simply critical hit plus true damage.

This caused a huge uproar, and more people joined the debate either actively or passively.

Even people who are not strictly speaking in the literary field are involved.

Lu Chuan's father, Lu Tianming, criticized Han Han on his blog, saying that he had never received any education and that was why he could only swear.

The response was "Some people are educated, but why don't they win an Oscar for Best Screenplay? They are decades older and not as good as those who just entered the industry."

"You are several years older, but I haven't seen you reach Xiao Chen's level in literature."

"I admit that I'm not good enough, but I'm at least below him. Who is the most famous writer born in the 80s? Is your name among the top ten screenwriters?"

This time it was completely sunk.

Chen Linfeng shook his head when he saw this. With this level of skill, he shouldn’t try to argue with others online.

Xiaolu, the Internet is a very deep water and you can’t grasp it.

After this, it was not over yet. Lu Chuan went to the battle on behalf of her father, and Ai Dajin also came out to help, but they were all knocked off their horses one by one.

Han Han's attacking power has been recognized by the entire network, and this is the result of his record of kills one by one.

During the entire process, Chen Linfeng did not utter a word, but his name kept appearing in the debate between the two sides, truly achieving the goal of "I am not in the world, but my name is circulating in it."

Some netizens have been calling for Chen Linfeng to come out and talk and express his views.

They all played dead and avoided him, occasionally posting behind-the-scenes photos of the crew and turning a deaf ear to other topics.

……

When Chen Linfeng returned to the crew, he clearly felt the change in others' attitude towards him.

Including these actors, their attitudes have become restrained.

Chen Linfeng's age comes into play here. No matter what, when Chinese people see young people, they tend to think that they are incompetent and unreliable, and a sense of contempt arises in their hearts.

Although I won't have such emotions when dealing with him, I will be more relaxed. In addition, Chen Linfeng is usually easy-going, so after a long time, I will be able to return to normal.

The day after he came back, Liu Qianqian also finished the promotion and returned to the crew.

"Hey, fairy sister."

"We agreed not to yell like that anymore."

Liu Qianqian looked both shy and angry, but compared to the pure anger she had on the set of The Legend of Sword and Fairy, she did not feel angry this time, but more shy.

At this time, "The Return of the Condor Heroes" had been aired for more than a week. Xiaolongnu's first appearance amazed many viewers. Later, when she first entered the world of martial arts, her cold attitude, which was ignorant of worldly affairs and uninvolved in mundane affairs, was also very impressive.

Especially Liu Qianqian’s appearance at her peak, full of collagen, so beautiful that she seemed like she walked out of a book.

In Jin Yong's words, "Only when the audience sees you can they know what I said is true." This sentence, which was used to praise her for playing Wang Yuyan, is also very suitable for her role as Little Dragon Girl. The title of "Fairy Sister" was once again given to Liu Qianqian, but this time there was less ridicule, and everyone recognized her Little Dragon Girl very much.

Liu Qianqian has been doing a lot of self-searching recently and has seen a lot of praise from netizens, so she naturally knows this and her psychology has changed.

She wanted to put her hands on her hips, but thinking back to the past, the consequence of being arrogant was often a slap in the face, so Liu Qianqian learned her lesson this time.

She deliberately avoided the topic and said, "Director Zhang and Brother Xiao Ming asked me to thank you. They said it was a good thing that you suggested that they change the costume of the protagonist."

“Really? Did the audience give any corresponding feedback?”

Liu Qianqian nodded seriously, "Yes, from Zhong Nanshan to the martial arts conference, Yang Guo's appearance was not changed because some scenes had already been filmed. As a result, there were many complaints online."

In fact, this bad attire in the early stage had unexpected consequences when it came to the plot of the martial arts conference.

For the first time, Yang Guo changed from being a gangster to being a handsome young man, which gave many viewers a strong sense of contrast and had a killing effect at first sight.

The bearded crew slightly tweaked the plot here.

Several female characters besides Xiaolongnu, like Guo Fu, truly fell in love with Yang Guo from the moment they saw him dressed up.

And close-up shots are specially given in the play to show this.

The audience, who saw Yang Guo as the main perspective, felt a strong sense of satisfaction.

Netizens have expressed that this is Yang Guo’s first appearance, what he had before was nothing.

This upward trend in the plot was considered a special design by the audience and was well received. All the early complaints turned into praises.

"So far, the reviews of The Return of the Condor Heroes have been generally good, and the few negative reviews are the result of comparing it with the old version. Thank you, Xiaofeng."

"Apart from verbal thanks, is there nothing substantial?" Chen Linfeng joked.

Liu Qianqian tilted her head and thought about it. She walked to her RV, then ran back and handed him a bottle of AD calcium milk.

"Here, please drink."

Chen Linfeng's mouth twitched, "Thank you for your gift."

……

There are no entertainment activities in the evening. Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian used to play games together in the hotel room, but now they can no longer do that.

Given their current level of attention, who knows, someone might secretly take a photo of them and upload it to the Internet.

So they decided to find a meeting room in the hotel after the show, watch TV together, and with the help of each other, buy some melon seeds and drinks, and have fun.

At 5 o'clock this afternoon, Channel 1 was playing a rerun of a high-end interview, which was the exclusive interview with Chen Linfeng.

Chen Linfeng didn't want to watch it at all.

This is how talk shows work. It might be okay when he's being interviewed, but when it's actually broadcast on TV, he can't help but think that it would have been better if he had said it differently.

I knew there was nothing wrong with the answers on TV, but it was no use; I couldn't control myself at all.

Liu Qianqian watched with great interest, and she even pulled Chen Linfeng to stop leaving.

After this show, they finished their dinner and came back to watch "The Return of the Condor Heroes" on Qilu TV.

This time it was Liu Qianqian's turn to feel uncomfortable. After the performance, she looked back at her own performance and felt that everything about it was not good.

Chen Linfeng also held her back and wouldn't let her leave. Everyone would be willing to carry out a public execution.

time flies.

The production crew ran the show smoothly and without any incidents, and The Return of the Condor Heroes also reached its finale.

In the second half, during the sixteen years of waiting for Xiaolongnu, Yang Guo always kept his hair disheveled. The stylist did a pretty good job in this section, and it didn't look ugly at all. The audience could also understand the protagonist's mentality.

When Xiaolongnu returned from the bottom of the valley, Yang Guo returned to his usual neat attire.

The crew took special time to film the process of re-tying hair and changing clothes, which was seen as Yang Guo's return to his heart.

The film also received rave reviews for its flashbacks comparing the scenes sixteen years ago, which conveyed a sense of how time flies and how fleeting youth are.

However, no matter how better Huang Xiaoming's Yang Guo performed than in his previous life, the one who received the most attention and praise was still Xiaolongnu.

And her fellow performer Liu Xixi, who has clearly stepped up a notch as a result.

Various notices and endorsement contracts came in like snowflakes, but the crew of "Chu Liuxiang" just happened to have her turn to act, so she turned it down.

The local ratings of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" in Shandong Province reached 25%. Although it was only a small-scale audience of the local TV station, it was already remarkable.

Compared with the province’s Spring Festival Gala ratings this year, which was only 26.3%, this is enough to illustrate the problem.

The most important thing is that the word of mouth has been maintained well, and the ratings curve has not fluctuated significantly, and has maintained a slight increase.

The competition for the second round of broadcasting is said to be quite fierce. Zhang Da Huzi has been accepting interviews frequently recently. On the one hand, he is promoting his next film "The Sword of Royal Blood and Valour", and on the other hand, he is also bragging about himself.

At the same time, he has not forgotten Chen Linfeng, and explained that Yang Guo's costume in the play was basically the style before the martial arts conference.

Later, after Director Xiao Chen visited the set and offered some suggestions, the film was changed to its current form.

Based on the current attention Chen Linfeng is receiving, the news quickly spread across the Internet.

"So it was Xiao Chen's suggestion. That's not surprising. Yang Guo changed his clothes several times in the play, and each time he changed his clothes had a purpose. Now it seems like a perfect finishing touch. He deserves to be the best screenwriter at the Oscars."

"When The Return of the Condor Heroes was being filmed, it was probably early last year. At that time, Xiao Chen was qualified to ask other crews to change the script? That's pretty impressive."

"I just want to know whose set was Xiao Chen visiting? It couldn't be..."

"No need to think, it must be Liu Qianqian. I heard that these two had a good relationship in school. Is there something going on here?"

"Impossible. My brother Feng has just come of age. He will wait until I grow up to marry me. Don't talk nonsense. Be careful or I will sue you for spreading rumors."

"How can Xiao Long Nu fall in love, even if it's Chen Linfeng, the one upstairs, get out of here right now."

……

"The Return of the Condor Heroes" avoided the big enemy behind, and the move to air early has worked.

Next up is the premiere of "The Tang Empire".
