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

Chapter 270: Influence on Online Literature

For domestic readers, it is a very happy thing to be the first to enjoy the release of Xiao Chen’s new book.

The main reason is that Chen Linfeng wrote in Chinese, which saved a lot of translation time.

Moreover, the original wording and plot can preserve the author’s original intention to the greatest extent.

When Xiao Chen's new book promotion started in China, everyone already knew that the release date was not far away.

Sure enough, after only about a month of waiting, the new book was available in bookstores across the country.

As for Sherlock Holmes, most fans have long given up their dislike for it before the first book was released, and regard it as a high-quality series that "must be waited for in a lifetime."

However, this time they are published continuously, with the second book coming out right after the first one, which is completely contrary to the usual rules.

"Where's my Destiny? There hasn't been a new release in five years. Do you know how I've been spending these five years?"

"The Zhongzhou team isn't complete yet. Zheng Zha is about to cry. Xiao Chen, you can't forget who helped you enter the European and American markets."

"Alas, the old has been replaced by the new generation, and now the new favorite has become Sherlock."

There was a lot of wailing on the Internet, but the sales of the new book did not decrease at all.

Sales in the first week exceeded 20, and subsequent sales remained basically stable. Long-term sales can be foreseen.

Now that online literature has officially risen, physical books have completely started to slowly rise in value.

Those who can achieve explosive sales in a short period of time are either famous writers or have won major awards and sparked public opinion.

Chen Linfeng certainly belongs to the latter.

The domestic literary criticism circle has now completely become like Xiao Chen, and has always praised his new books.

The gradual downturn in the book market has made them increasingly admire Chen Linfeng, who is still able to establish a foothold in the publishing industry.

Not to mention the online literature community, most online writers are fans of Xiao Chen's books.

Although each of them is older than Chen Linfeng, they all claim in the book to be Chen's long-time fans.

When his new book was on sale, some authors even took leave under the pretext of reading his new book.

That is to say, we have not experienced it yet. In the future, the impact of the King of Rolls who can easily reach 4 per day, and those who can consistently reach per day are all rare and diligent.

The readers were surprisingly understanding, as many of them were also the audience for Xiao Chen's novels.

Over the years, Chen Linfeng's writing style has had a great influence on online novels. Many authors have entered the online literature circle by imitating Chen's works.

Especially "Infinite World" and "Destiny", which allow authors to create fan works.

The settings with a clear sense of hierarchy and some exciting constructions are like the Bible to authors who are new to the online literature circle.

The most vivid example is "Zhu Xian".

The previous version of Zhu Xian had strong traces of traditional physical novels, driven by the emotional entanglements between important characters, and the settings for the specific strength and strength of spells were not very clear.

But the "Zhu Xian" in this life is obviously different.

From Chen Linfeng's perspective, it is much better than the previous version.

The same is true for "The Buddha Is the Tao". The plot of the human world in the early stage is much more compact, while the later primitive plot borrows a lot of settings from "The Sequel to Journey to the West" and "The Lotus Lantern".

Chenxiang and the Monkey King both became big characters in the book, and the Pure World White Lotus, Karma Fire Red Lotus, etc., became examples of the innate spiritual treasures of the ancient times in advance.

Meng Rushenji stated frankly in the article that part of the inspiration came from Xiao Chen's TV series setting.

Chen Linfeng drew inspiration from the prehistoric novels in his previous life, and in this life, the prehistoric novels borrowed from Xiao Chen's settings.

It’s a wonderful cycle.

Speaking of the prehistoric times, director Yu Shengming has not made any moves for a while since "The Lotus Lantern".

He is now considered a big director in the field of domestic TV dramas. His two hit TV series have brought him to a status he never had in his previous life.

So I became more cautious.

At the beginning of this year, when Chen Linfeng visited him, he also thought about whether to make a sequel or a prequel.

Because the screenwriter wrote two scripts in the ninth year and gave them to Yu Shengming, he happened to show them to Chen Linfeng.

One of them is the famous "Magic Phone" in the previous life, and the other is said to be "The Preface to the Lotus Lantern". In fact, the setting is more similar to the prehistoric theme, which is very different from the previous life version.

Chen Linfeng had no intention of joining, he just made some suggestions.

The script of "Magic Phone" has potential, but it did not have enough time to be polished in the previous life, and the production was rather poor, with the costumes, props, and special effects not being very good.

This led to the low ratings of the show in the beginning. It was only when the people who watched the show grew up later that the ratings were slowly pushed up.

"I suggest that we polish it a little bit, try to ensure the plot is tight, and make the actors and production more detailed. We should make it one of the rare science fiction dramas in China. It should have a bright future."

Yu Shengming nodded. The path of high-quality dramas was well demonstrated by "The Great Tang Empire" and "My Love from the Star".

Since Xiao Chen said the script has this potential, he will try harder.

Anyway, they have a good relationship, so he doesn't hesitate to ask Xiao Chen for more advice on the script.

“My suggestion for this prequel is to continue to postpone it and consider doing it after the level of special effects in China is further improved.

Since we have brought in deified figures like Jade Ding Zhenren, we might as well add more content from "The Investiture of the Gods".

Using Yang Jian's perspective to show the old stories of the Conferred Gods is also a good angle.

For the settings and ideas in this regard, you can definitely consider looking for some online writers to provide ideas and thoughts. If you don’t want to bother, you can directly extract inspiration from relevant online articles. "Yu Shengming nodded hurriedly.

He used to give guidance to Xiao Chen, but now he has become the one being guided.

He put the script away, then asked with some concern, "Quality dramas require a lot of investment, are you interested in investing, Longlin?"

"Of course, as long as there is no problem with the script and Director Yu can bring in a good team, we will definitely help."

Chen Linfeng is still optimistic about Yu Shengming's level.

Let them slow down and work more carefully.

We also hope that in about 10 years, when TV dramas are generally becoming more impetuous, we can produce relatively high-quality dramas and stir up the market.

Combined with Longlin Company's own dramas and the influence of several excellent dramas produced by Chen Linfeng in recent years, it should be able to slightly reverse the general trend in the field of TV dramas.

Chen Linfeng has been officially rooted in the film and television industry for three or four years. With his current status, he can already be considered to have an influence on the entire TV drama industry.

Back to the present, Chen Linfeng’s influence on online literature is not limited to the role of a pioneer.

The Qilin Cup has a great impact on the direction of online literature.

The highest online literature award, which was jointly agreed upon by Zhao Changtian and Chen Linfeng, has now been held for the second time.

The first highest award for online literature was won by "Zhu Xian", which was a classic online literature award.

Later, the focus began to be on the outstanding works of that year.

By the second session, Chen Linfeng no longer had to pay for the event himself. He only had to be there to present the awards and many businesses rushed to sponsor him.

The number of awards has also increased, with two new awards added.

An award for excellence in online writing, second only to the highest award for outstanding work.

An online novel popularity award given to works that may be of slightly poorer writing style but have a great influence.

Because of the different trophies, they are respectively called the Qilin Award, Gold Award, and Silver Award.

This year's highest award went to "Ghost Blows Out the Light", the Excellence Award went to "The Buddha Is the Tao", and the Popularity Award went to "The Blood of the Beast".

After these three books were awarded, more than one publishing house contacted us soon, hoping to publish them.

It can be said that it has added fuel to the excellent works of online literature.

Authors are paying more and more attention to the Kirin Cup, which has attracted considerable attention and is officially endorsed, and have begun to regard it as an important criterion for evaluation.

At least the reputation of the few novels that have won awards has skyrocketed in the online literature circle, and their authors are gradually becoming deities.

Authors who have such experience will also safeguard the value of each Kirin Cup award and be proud of it.

This creates a positive cycle.

Chen Linfeng attaches great importance to his influence in online literature.

Not to mention its inherent promotional attributes, it connects with a large number of readers.

The mere fact that one can easily obtain the copyright of these works, and immediately raise the value of the copyright through awards, is a sure win.

Before Chen Linfeng's novel was released, Kong Sheng had already completed the filming of the TV series he was working on.

At the same time, after receiving the contact from Chen Shantong, he was surprised and immediately accepted the invitation.

Which director would not be envious of the script written by Xiao Chen?

Look at Zhang Li’s situation after he filmed "The Great Tang Empire". He really became a top director overnight.

Even if the ratings of "The Ming Dynasty 1566" are not good, it does not affect its divinity at all.

Kong Sheng also wants to make progress.

Although he co-directed the film with Xiao Chen, in terms of fame, the ultimate credit should go to Chen Linfeng.

But Longlin’s boss made it clear that this should be Xiao Chen’s last time as a TV series director.

When we produce TV drama scripts in the future, we will look for directors we have worked with in the past to direct them.

The meaning of these words couldn't be clearer.

Afterwards, Kong Sheng and Chen Linfeng had an in-depth exchange.

The two not only exchanged opinions on filming, but also their views on the actors.

At the same time, Kong Sheng also made his own tasks clear, which was mainly to take charge of all the time-consuming, labor-intensive and tedious tasks.

At the same time, I also value Kong Sheng's personal style, and hope that he can make up for some of Chen Linfeng's shortcomings in shooting warm family dramas.

It seems that Xiao Chen is really too busy, and most of the early stage location scouting and preparation work will be done by Kong Sheng.

During the filming process, they were divided into two groups, and Kong Shenglai was in charge of Group B.

When publicizing to the outside world, it will also be made clear that there won’t be any unexpected events.

This situation was better than he had thought before, at least there was enough room for maneuver.

Speaking of this drama, Chen Linfeng has now changed the name back to "Reply 1990", as a kind of commemoration of the previous life.

Needless to say, it was borrowed from the previous life "Reply 1988".
