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

Chapter 505 The right to speak

Since reading more history books, Liu Qianqian has become quite fond of similar topics.

So someone on the Internet specifically said that she just took a look at it.

Then I realized something was wrong.

When this thick-necked musician talked about something she didn't understand, it sounded like it made sense.

But whenever it comes to historical topics, it feels a little off.

Very strange, need to take another look.

Chen Linfeng said speechlessly, "You really have to follow him. This guy's history level is not even as good as a high school student with better grades."

"How is that possible? I heard that he dropped out of Mizuki University."

Liu Xixi is somewhat inclined to worship academic qualifications.

Especially Chen Linfeng, the top scorer in the college entrance examination that year, knew almost everything in front of her.

Invisibly, her perception of highly educated talents was raised.

"This is about specialization. If it were me, I would definitely not talk too much about science and engineering."

Liu Qianqian wrinkled her nose and said nothing.

She began to doubt the quality of the entire program, but Ai Da Jin was indeed very eloquent and the show was still acceptable.

When she is bored, Liu Qianqian will still take a look at it.

Until the show talked about the history of the Ming Dynasty.

Ai Dajin claimed that "the Ming Dynasty was an era with three "nothings" in Chinese history: no wise rulers, no famous generals, and no famous scholars."

Liu Qianqian couldn't hold it in any longer.

Could it be any more outrageous?
She couldn't help but complain to Chen Linfeng, but seeing that he was talking on the phone, she had to hold it in for the time being.

But the more I thought about it, the angrier I felt. I actually watched this show for so long.

At one point I even thought of it as a knowledge popularization program and absorbed some knowledge from it.

Now that I think about it, most of it is probably rubbish.

Liu Qianqian suddenly felt like her mind was no longer clear.

Chen Linfeng was on the phone with Kang Jianmin from the Golden Rooster Awards Organizing Committee.

This person previously served as the director of the organizing committee. Although he still holds the position now, his responsibilities have changed a lot.

If he had some real power before, now he has become a person responsible for execution.

This is the result of voting early and being pardoned.

Otherwise, according to Ye Yunsheng, the second-generation, it would be more convenient to eliminate it directly.

It was Chen Linfeng who suggested not to make a big deal out of it.

After all, the incident was caused by him. He mobilized too much force and in the end, problems arose. It was all his fault.

It is now May 2012, and it has been six or seven months since the incident at the Golden Rooster Awards last year.

It has been three or four months since the higher authorities issued the policy document and allowed the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, the Film Bureau and other parties to make adjustments to the Golden Rooster Awards.

I haven't done much else during this period of time. I first sorted out the organizational structure.

In the past, the Golden Rooster Awards had many people in charge, mainly the Film Association and the Writers Association.

Now it is uniformly managed by an organization called the Award Coordination and Planning Committee.

This organization is newly established and is composed of personnel from several associations or departments, including the Literature and Art Association, the Film Association, the Film Bureau, and the Cultural Department.

After that, they were no longer nominally managed by the original mothers-in-law.

It has several departments under its jurisdiction, including the jury, business office, selection committee, media liaison office, and finance office.

In fact, the first two are the most important.

One is responsible for judging the awards, and the other is responsible for the commercial operations of the awards.

Let’s not talk about this for now. In the top-level award committee, each person is sent by one person from each management department.

It can be considered as taking into account the interests and face of all parties.

In terms of culture, Ye Yunsheng, who had previously been involved in a century-old classic in film history, was sent over.

Those who came from the Film Association, the Cultural Association, and the Film Bureau were basically all gods.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye knows that after the reform, there will always be a new atmosphere, if nothing else.

Just compare it with the previous "100 Years of Film History Classics" and you will know that where there is fairness, there is authority.

What followed was the increase in recognition and popularity.

Naturally, fame and power will come.

In addition to the various members, Chen Linfeng and Zhang Yimou, two of the four major directors from mainland China, serve as consultants to the committee.

Finally, a certain big shot in the cultural sector, Mr. Tie, the general manager of the Cultural Association, served as the main and deputy leaders and nominally took the lead.

The entire organizational structure was thus determined.

Here, Chen Linfeng is mainly responsible for giving advice and his words are relatively the most effective.

This has to do with the composition of the award committee and his past experience.

Chen Linfeng was the main promoter of the previous "Century Classics" event.

It can be said that the reform of the Golden Rooster Awards and the establishment of the committee are directly related to him.

He has more experience than anyone else present.

Another reason is personnel.

Mr. Tie, the new boss of the Literary Association, is one of us and has always supported him.

As the leading leader, he nominally leads the group but actually does not take care of anything.

But if you really think that her words are useless and have no influence at all, then that's a joke.

In addition, in terms of culture, it was Director Li who sent Ye Yunsheng to be in charge of this matter.

Yes, it was Director Li who had high hopes for him.

Ye Yunsheng and Chen Linfeng have essentially become a group.

In addition, Ye Yunsheng himself came from a high-class family, and people from such a family were not sent down to the countryside to work hard.

It can be basically confirmed that he is the kind of player who knows how to gain experience by doing nothing.

Very cooperative work.

Therefore, strangely enough, the two departments with the most say both chose him to do the job.

In addition, although Chen Linfeng does not hold any public office, his influence is indeed not low.

Not to mention his fame, he is also a successful entrepreneur.

Therefore, people from the Film Association and the Film Bureau all look up to him.

Another consultant, Zhang Yimou, was there to make up the numbers purely because of his seniority and reputation.

He supported his younger brother's proposal without a second thought.

Therefore, in the end, Chen Linfeng became the one who had the best say.

This is the difference between authority and voice.

Fortunately, Chen Linfeng is a person who can win people over without offending anyone.

So things are progressing smoothly.

Chen Linfeng usually communicates frequently with the selection committee.

As the chairman of the jury, Kang Jianmin is mainly responsible for convening the judges and logistical affairs.

Now I will do more work related to liaison and execution.

You know what, they did a really good job.

Much more attentive than before.

What Kang Jianmin talked about with Chen Linfeng today was a proposal that was mentioned at the award committee meeting two days ago.

That is the question of whether the “Golden Rooster Awards” should be renamed.

The Golden Rooster Awards was originally named because the first session happened to be the Year of the Rooster, so it was called this name.

Nowadays, the reputation of the Golden Rooster Awards has been somewhat tarnished, so some people have suggested that we simply change the name.

It just so happens that it is the Year of the Dragon now, so changing it to the Golden Dragon Award sounds much better.

Actually, this matter is important and unimportant at the same time. It is just a matter of name.

But Chen Linfeng was quite hesitant.

The Golden Rooster Awards have been around for so many years, it cannot be said that it has left no legacy.

At least everyone is used to hearing it.

This is a benefit in itself and represents a long history.

Awards always become more popular as they get older.

Chen Linfeng thought for a moment and asked, "Director Kang, what do the other committee members think?"

"Everyone is struggling with this. Both plans have supporters, and the number of people on both sides is about the same, so I came here specifically to ask for your opinion."

Well, it seems that others are also struggling with the same problem as him.

Chen Linfeng's various thoughts turned over in his mind for a long time, and finally he inexplicably thought of the famous saying "Do not add entities unless necessary."

So he said, "Then let's not change it. After all, the Golden Rooster Award has a long history. Its reputation has been affected in recent years, but it does not affect everyone's belief that the Golden Rooster Award is the highest award in the country.

If we change the name, it might be considered a completely new award, and lose its heritage.”

After hearing this, Kang Jianmin couldn't help but praise, "Advisor Chen is very thoughtful. I will report your opinions to the committee members and leaders."

Chen Linfeng thought about it and added, "I think there are reasons for changing the name or not. It depends on how they decide."

(If you have any opinions, please feel free to comment. It will be based on everyone’s ideas.)

Kang Jianmin said "hmm" and moved on to the next thing.

This is more practical, and is about the question of where the Golden Rooster Awards will be held in the future.

At the beginning, the Golden Rooster Awards adopted a very fashionable method, which was to hold it in various cities in rotation.

This method seems inappropriate nowadays.

Without a fixed partner, there would be great obstacles in terms of cost and organization.

Strong cities may easily make up the cost of the award ceremony through local commercial sponsorship and advertising fees.

Weaker cities lack these conditions.

In the past, the Golden Rooster Awards had few fixed sponsors due to its lack of authority.

As a result, it almost became a losing business.

Many cities are unwilling to apply.

Thinking of this, the problem becomes clearer.

Chen Linfeng said, "If you ask me, why not decide on Yanjing or Shenhai? Let the committee members vote by raising their hands."

Kang Jianmin nodded, "Okay, that's no problem."

In addition, there are also some detailed contents, such as matters of the Business Department, or some procedural details of the jury.

Speaking of the Business Department, they are responsible for the commercial operations of the Golden Rooster Awards.

Attracting sponsorship, advertising cooperation, selling tickets for award ceremonies, live broadcast and video copyright operations, etc., these are all issues that the Business Office needs to consider.

Now that the Golden Rooster Awards have been reformed, the first two years may continue the past situation, with no big brands offering title sponsorship.

Therefore, Chen Linfeng solved the problem directly.

Just like when he sponsored the "Qilin Cup" in the past, he spent money directly and became the largest sponsor of the Golden Rooster Awards in the past two years.

Because this is one of the reasons why he has such a strong say nowadays.

After all, he is the financial sponsor.

After chatting for a long time, we finally finished what we needed to talk about.

Finally, Kang Jianmin reminded, "The next centralized meeting will be in June, and the two leaders will also attend then, you see..."

"Understood. I will also take the time to participate."

When the leader is here, it is time to decide some things.

There should be an announcement at that time on how to evaluate the awards and the specific process.

This is the key factor in whether the new Golden Rooster Awards can succeed. Chen Linfeng has been concerned about it for a long time.

Therefore, he will definitely go and keep an eye on it when the time comes.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Linfeng returned to the bedroom and found Xixi already asleep on the bed.

He fiddled with Xixi's body and adjusted her to a side-lying sleeping position.

Liu Qianqian didn't notice anything and was still sleeping soundly.

The sleep quality is really enviable.

Chen Linfeng glanced at the sun outside. It was 3 o'clock in the afternoon. It was not too late to take a nap.

Then he crawled into bed, hugged Sissi's slender and soft waist, and gradually fell asleep.

In the following days, Chen Linfeng continued to stay at home, occasionally advancing the work at hand.

Liu Qianqian has entered the first half of the year's business period, so she has to go out frequently to participate in some business activities and accept interviews at the same time.

Almost all the big news this year is focused on Chen Linfeng, but he hardly goes out now and doesn't accept interviews most of the time.

Therefore, whenever Sissi appears in public, reporters will always ask her about that.

The hot topic recently is still the Nobel Prize, and it seems that this will become a long-lasting hot topic.

After all, it is possible to win the award but refuse it.

He is so handsome that he doesn't look like the Chinese people today.

But I have to say, just eating this makes people feel full of national confidence.

Then there is the matter of the sales of Lord of Mysteries.

Warner and related domestic parties have announced the novel's first-day and first-week sales data.

Once again, the record-breaking sales made the media and the public excited.

Because at this point, everyone began to gradually consider a question.

That is, the question is whether Chen Linfeng’s new book can catch up with "Harry Potter".

Judging from the trend, it seems to be happening.

Some media dug up various data when "Harry Potter 1" was first released.

To be honest, the two are quite different.

As for the quality of the novels and which one has a better plot.

This is a bit controversial.

Many foreign book fans think that "Lord of the Mysteries" is much better than "Harry Potter".

Whether in terms of the maturity of the plot or the novelty of the setting, it is much better.

But many people in China believe that "Harry Potter" is more outstanding.

After all, they are still far ahead in terms of overall data.

Moreover, the achievements of the film and television adaptations are obvious to all. If you want to compare with a newly released novel like yours, you are still far from being able to do so.

This is actually speaking from the perspective of hard results, which is certain, and cannot be compared for the time being.

There is also heated discussion on this topic on the Internet.

"I think Chen is obviously better. As long as you have seen his past works, it is very clear. His overflowing talent is incomparable to JK Rowling."

“Harry Potter” sold 5 million copies!

"The key is that Chen also has the advantage of winning literary awards. Her work has been recognized by almost all mainstream awards, and her refusal to take the Nobel Prize this year is a clear proof of this."

“Harry Potter” sold 5 million copies!

"If Lord of the Mysteries can achieve a similar status to Harry Potter, coupled with works such as Infinite Worlds and Her, Chen will surpass JK Rowling."

“Harry Potter” sold 5 million copies!

"Can you please stop posting your damn 5 million sales figures?"

“Harry Potter” sold 5 million copies!

"..."

Now all discussions on such topics will ultimately be no match for sales of 5 million.

This is indeed the greatest achievement and confidence of popular literature.

But then again, the fact that Harry Potter fans can only respond with hard results represents a certain tendency.

That is, Chen Linfeng is indeed very outstanding in the horizontal field of novels. His novels are constantly updated, and the plots are visibly wonderful.

This is something that even Harry Potter fans have to admit.

Earlier, the Los Angeles Times mentioned the term "JC era".

It means that in the field of global bestsellers in the 21st century, JK Rowling and Chen Linfeng, one after the other, dominated the Eastern and Western Hemispheres respectively, and suppressed others with absolute advantages.

Today is the era of two-person rule, referred to as the "JC era".

Time magazine continued to use this statement and directly confirmed it with a certain degree of factual determination.

Subsequently, world-renowned literary magazines such as The Times Literary Supplement, The Paris Review, and New France Review all endorsed this statement.

However, they strictly limit this statement to the field of popular novels.

Chinese literary magazines such as Harvest also use this setting.

Since then, various media have officially referred to Chen Linfeng as JK Rowling.

The world enters the timeline ruled by "JC".

Let’s get back to the interview with Liu Qianqian.

When asking questions, the media always talk about this kind of content in a roundabout way and then want to know what Chen Linfeng thinks about it.

The questions asked include, "Is your husband happy recently?", "Why hasn't Director Chen come out to meet everyone recently?", "Do you and your husband usually talk about literary topics?", etc.

When asked about such topics by the media, Liu Qianqian usually gives a straightforward answer.

"Fortunately, it's hard to tell. He doesn't have very many mood swings, and he usually doesn't suddenly become silly and happy."

"He has a lot of things to do. Even if he is idle at home, he is actually quite busy."

"We do, but not often. It's mainly because I don't quite understand some of the professional content. We usually talk more about history, which I like and can understand."

The reporter felt something was not right. Would a normal couple or lover talk about history?

"You and Director Chen talked about historical topics?"

"Yes."

"Uh, I didn't know you liked history."

Liu Qianqian looked at the other person strangely, thinking that he must be a newbie.

She has said this many times in interviews over the years.

However, she is a good-tempered person after all, so she continued chatting with the reporter.

"I didn't like it very much before, but then Xiaofeng recommended a few books to me. After reading them, I gradually started to like it."

"No, it's not a particularly professional kind, it's more of a popular science book. I can't read the professional kind, but Xiaofeng likes to read it."

At this point, she suddenly remembered that she had just finished watching "Xiao Shuo" a few days ago. She wanted to complain to Xiao Feng, but ended up falling asleep.

Now that the topic is brought up, she casually complained, "I recently watched a chat show, and I originally thought it was a knowledge and science show, but in the first few episodes, they talked about things I didn't quite understand, but they sounded quite real.

As a result, we talked about history. When I heard that there were no wise emperors, no famous generals, and no famous people in the Ming Dynasty, I felt that it would be better to look up more information before talking about it. "

The reporter also thought it was outrageous at first and agreed, "Really? With this level, he can give lectures."

Neither of them took it seriously.

But after the interview video was released online, netizens became curious.

This is about that show.

Is it possible for Xixi, who is almost saying goodbye to knowledge (the impression brought by Anxi), to come and complain?
After all, netizens are very powerful and found out the answer quickly.

This is the content of a new chat show called "Xiao Shuo" launched by Ai Da Jin in March. This is what was said in the most recent episode.

The statement of "three no's" is indeed outrageous, but there are still many netizens who understand it and have complained about it.

But everyone just treated it as a topic of conversation and a joke, and it passed after a while.

But some people with bad intentions made a picture of Liu Xixi's comments, added some text to it, and posted it on Weibo @短大紧.

"Your level has been exposed, and Liu Qianqian has complained about it."

When Ai Da Jin saw it, he immediately became dissatisfied.

Then he slammed the table and said, "What academic qualifications do you have? How dare you question me? Especially since you're an actor!"

He immediately replied on Weibo, "I'd better first understand that the Twenty-Four Histories can be read in a few months, and then talk about history."

Ai Da Jin felt that his Weibo post was decent, as he not only mocked the other party but also used a famous internet meme, which made him feel good.

Under this Weibo post, the first comments also thought that the response was a good one.

Ai Dajin also has fans. Whether he was writing "You, My Deskmate" or recently starting "Xiao Shuo", he was able to accumulate some fans.

Especially after the recent broadcast of "Xiao Shuo", the number of fans has increased greatly.

Many of them still felt that there was something wrong with what Liu Xixi said.

After all, when Ai Dajin talks about content that the audience is not familiar with, his confidence that comes from the heart is still very impressive.

But soon, someone pointed out that using the "Twenty-Four Histories" joke was not a good idea.

This was originally a character in a TV drama and it did not happen in real life at all.

Ai Da Jin has been looking at the follow-up replies on Weibo.

Also saw this comment.

He just realized that this joke actually came from Liu Xixi's character.

"But it's better this way."

Ai Dajin felt that the Weibo post he just posted was absolutely amazing, and it even had a double entendre.

There are so many people who live on the Internet every day.

Soon someone posted the content of Ai Dajin's reply to Liu Qianqian's Weibo and Tieba.

This is the gathering place for Tianxian fans, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the base camp.

Many young fans immediately responded with curses.

Then there were some conflicts with Ai Da Jin's fans.

Old fans are different, they have experienced what happened back then and know some things in particular.

"This is a bit ridiculous. My Sissi has really read the Twenty-Four Histories. She really knows how long it takes to finish reading them! @短大紧"

Some people didn't believe it, so this old fan later posted a series of pictures, all of which were screenshots of the blog from that year.

After the TV series "My Love from the Star" was aired, the "Twenty-Four Histories" became a famous meme.

In order to get rid of the image of An Xi, Liu Xixi actually read the Twenty-Four Histories (translated version).

And for a long time afterwards, I would post reading records on the "An Xi" blog from time to time.

Today's netizens may not know this story, but many old netizens, especially old fans, know it.

When “My Love from the Star” was so popular, “An Xi”’s blog was once synonymous with the top bloggers.

Therefore, quite a few people know this.

Now, Ai Dajin is about to become a laughing stock.

But Ai Dajin still knew how to turn around, and he immediately posted another Weibo.

"Even if you've read some history books, do you dare to say how much you know? As an actor, it's best to do your job well first and not always get involved in other things."

This stubborn attitude soon annoyed Liu Xixi's fans.

"What qualifications do you have to question someone else's job?"

"She has won Best Actress and Best Actress awards, and has starred in so many classic TV shows and movies. How dare you, a third-rate musician with only one hit song, say this?"

"When you talk about others, it's best to first check whether you have the qualifications."

"..."

Ai Da Jin has been a public intellectual for many years and has quite a few fans.

The two sides began to exchange blows.

The tension gradually escalated.
