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

Chapter 43 Counterattack
The domestic public opinion storm is still at its peak.

The mainstream media has been discussing this issue one after another, with some famous authors confronting literary critics.

This time, the Writers' Association's position is very awkward due to the comments made by its committee members on the People's Day, and there has been no unified response.

The higher authorities still have no clear attitude and allow public opinion to ferment.

Sprout Magazine.

Zhu Guiming walked out of the office and waved to Zheng Yuling who was sitting at the desk, asking her to come to the office.

When Zheng Yuling came in, Zhu Guiming got straight to the point.
"Someone from the higher authorities passed on a message saying that a senior official had said, 'We can't make arbitrary decisions on new discussions under this new situation. Let them have a clear debate first.'"

Zheng Yuling was extremely surprised. As long as the higher-ups didn't get involved, it wouldn't be a big deal if it was just a public opinion dispute.

She asked, "People's Daily published an article like that. Doesn't that mean that the higher-ups have made a definite statement? Why is it like this now?"

"I heard that the General Administration of Press and Publication didn't want to listen to other people's blind orders, so they complained at the meeting, and then the boss spoke."

Zheng Yuling breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank God, I was scared these days."

Zhu Guiming chuckled, "This is just the beginning. If it were ten or twenty years ago, this would not be a big deal. At that time, the clash of ideas was much more intense than it is now."

Chen Linfeng checked the news online at home.

The comments online were almost one-sided, all on Chen Linfeng's side. Unfortunately, netizens in this era still have insignificant influence in public opinion.

However, seeing these netizens supporting him, he still felt a warm feeling in his heart. Netizens of this era are still relatively simple.

Chen Linfeng found a reprint of Yuanyuan’s commentary article on People’s Daily on Sohu News.

Looking at the high-sounding words in the article, he sneered, "He himself is not clean, but he is quite serious when criticizing others."

At this time, Zheng Yuling called and relayed the news from Editor-in-Chief Zhu.

Chen Linfeng was indeed relieved.

It seems that the news of the hot sales of the novel in Japan did play a role. As long as the publishing department supports it, the matter will basically be fine. The only thing left is a quarrel.

Chen Linfeng is not the kind of person who would allow others to scold him without saying anything back. Even if there is no danger of being banned, he is not prepared to just let things go.

He spent three days, suppressing his impatience and reading through Yuanyuan's past novels and review articles. He just felt that the huge difference in world views was simply unbearable.

Following his thoughts, Chen Linfeng listed one by one the parts of Yuanyuan's novel that clearly contained malicious intent towards China.

In particular, one of his works is called "Burial", which slanders the past land reform and makes him have a lot to say.

He summarized the language, wrote an article, and submitted it to the province's major newspaper, Henan University News.

This is our own newspaper, and it has been speaking for Chen Linfeng in this incident.

Chen Linfeng titled the article "Let's see what good works this writer who criticizes others for not being qualified to write has written."

Not only did he submit the article to the newspaper, he also published it online, and added a sentence at the end of the online version of the article:
"I am just a minor. I don't have the ability to fight against adults, nor do I have the capital to ask the relevant departments to shut others up.

So I can only add a clown-like villain named Yuanyuan to my novel when I write it in the future to make a brief response.

I don't have any other special abilities, it's just that my novels have high sales and some people abroad read them, which helps people know how disgusting people like Yuan Yuan are.

I would like to clarify that this villain is not targeting anyone."

A minor versus a powerful adult. The article first explains the cause and process of the incident, as well as the identity of the person who attacked Chen Linfeng, and ends with a seemingly painless "revenge".

Chen Linfeng, who came from a later generation, knew exactly how to put himself in a weak position.

Once this short essay was posted online, it attracted a large number of netizens to watch.

"Oh my god, Xiao Chen is really cool. I support him."

"I have to say, if what's listed in the article is true, this Yuanyuan is quite disgusting."

"Support the author. He always uses public power to suppress others. He is a complete villain."

"What Xiao Chen said about people watching it overseas is true or not? I haven't heard of any related news."

The direction of the public opinion on the Internet was very clear. Many people expressed disdain and opposition to a literary giant like Yuan Yuan who had unreasonably accused a younger literary figure.

Two days later, Henan University Newspaper published Chen Linfeng's article, which instantly caused an uproar.

Although there is no particularly obvious tendency in the article reported, it is more directed at the literary work "Burial".

But a certain group of people still broke down because they also held similar views.

The way you, Xiao Chen, say this, shows that you are definitely a person who yearns for the past. How can this be tolerated?
The past is all rubbish!
This is their heartfelt opinion.

These people don't care whether you are weak or not, they will beat you if you are weak.

Immediately, many scholars came out to scold Chen Linfeng for "lacking martial ethics" and "being fussy about words."

Chen Linfeng was hoping someone would muddy the waters and didn't care about the buzzing noise at all.

Soon, some left-leaning intellectuals spoke out. They began to publish comments and angrily criticized Yuan Yuan's novel.

The key point is what Chen Linfeng mentioned, after all, the views are too distorted.

There are actually quite a few people in the literary and art circles who hold similar views.

But it’s okay if you usually do it for your own amusement, but once it’s picked out, becomes a news topic, and is made public, it will be a big deal.

Soon, a criticism meeting on her novel was held in Wu City.

At the meeting, her novel was described as a poisonous weed that slandered land reform and was a serious mistake.

The group of people who were cursing Chen Linfeng earlier immediately fell silent.

After all, you have to eat.

Since then, Yuanyuan has been caught in a series of troubles.

There has also been a big change in the newspapers' opinion on Chen Linfeng's novels, and the news from Japan has been reported back to the country.

In this era of general lack of confidence in the country, someone wrote a novel that triggered a sales frenzy in Japan. The domestic people had no resistance to such news.

All major newspapers reprinted the article, and the overall direction of public opinion has completely changed.

Chen Linfeng not only pays attention to mainstream media, he also reposts related news on a large scale online (using a small account of course), and has received a lot of praise on the Internet.

Judging from the current situation, Chen Linfeng has maxed out his favorability among the first generation of netizens.

The momentum continues.

As soon as those literary critics saw that the situation was not going well, they stopped making moves and never showed up again.

"Xiaofeng, I have received notices from many TV stations, all of which invite you to participate in their programs."

"Any recommendations? I can't attend too many announcements. School has been in session for so long, it's hard to ask for leave again."

Sister Mei thought about it awkwardly and said, "They are all good opportunities."

"If I were to name the most suitable ones, one would be "Yang Lan's Interview" on Oriental TV, "The Three of Us" on Phoenix TV, and others include "Tell Your Story" and "Super Interview."

"Besides these, there is nothing else."

There is another special one, who asks you for the script.

"what?"

It must be because I participated in the screenwriting of "The Sequel".

Chen Linfeng thought for a moment and said, "Cross out the super visit and take over the other three."

These three talk shows, which are still very famous in later generations, had already made their debut in this era. Participating in such shows is good for improving one's personal image and popularity.

"As for the script, which company invited you to write this? Did they say what kind of story you want to write?"

"It's from Hangzhou Huaxin Film and Television. They want to shoot a collection of ancient love stories, divided into several small stories. Now is the early stage to collect scripts. They hope you can write one of the stories."

At this point in time, this drama should be "Love Ceremony", which Chen Linfeng had watched as a child in his previous life.

Later, the character Zhao Pan'er played by the Fairy Sister had the same origin as a short story in this drama, which also became a team-building activity in the film and television area of ​​P Station.

Chen Linfeng therefore watched the original drama again. After his rebirth, his memory was improved and he is now deeply impressed.

Chen Linfeng said, "When I replied to Huaxin, I told him I had accepted it. It will take about ten days to half a month."

The industry was still not very sure about his screenwriting ability, so it was considered good to let him write a segment in a larger script.

He was able to collaborate with others on the screenplay and have his name listed in the screenwriter column, all because the production crew saw that he had two best-selling books as a backing.

It's really because of his age and qualifications that we are not reassured.

In fact, some film and television companies have also approached him for cooperation.

They agreed to let him just do the polishing and add his name in the screenwriter column, but this was purely to piggyback on his reputation.

Although other novice screenwriters may think this is a great thing, there are a large number of novice screenwriters in the industry who actually participate in screenwriting work but cannot leave their names.

However, he was not willing to do anything but be in the name only. It was not because he was aloof, but if such a thing was exposed, it would be a black spot.

Chen Linfeng is well aware of the omnipresence of netizens in later generations, and keeping himself clean is an important part of maintaining his status in the future.

Chen Linfeng spent three days writing the story of saving Fengchen in his previous life and gave it to Sun Fengmei.

"Sister Mei, wait ten days or half a month before handing it over to Huaxin. We can't let people think this job is too easy, otherwise it will bring shame to our peers."

"Okay, I know."

Two days later, Chen Linfeng set out for Hong Kong Island. He was going to participate in the recording of the "Keng Keng Threesome".
