Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

Chapter 222 Hahaha, I'm going to be the pioneer again! (Please subscribe)
"The Youngest Son of a Chaebol Family" has only 16 episodes in total.

Chen Yang is writing at a relatively fast pace.

However, each episode has a relatively large number of words.

After Chen Yang finishes writing all 16 episodes.

It was already close to the end of the year.

Aurora University has started its winter break.

The casting for the movie "Dragon and Snake" has been finalized, and filming is about to begin.

Han Sanping called Chen Yang and invited him to attend the opening ceremony.

Chen Yang naturally doesn't have time.

But such a launch ceremony should still be given some face.

Fortunately, filming took place in Hengdian.

It's not far from Shanghai, where Chen Yang is located.

Chen Yang drove straight there.

Upon arriving at the film set.

The diverse cast of actors left Chen Yang dazzled.

Chen Yang knows some of the actors.

There are some I don't recognize.

The male protagonist, Chen Yang, learns that Xie Miao is the one he ultimately chooses.

Actually, the character Wang Chao.

There were several options to choose from before.

For example, Shi Xiaolong and Cao Jun.

Both have their advantages.

They also debuted as child stars and have a considerable fan base among the audience.

However, later, considering that Shi Xiaolong was getting older, people's impression of him became somewhat fixed.

Especially his face shape; when you look at Shi Xiaolong, you always feel like he's still that little kid.

Cao Jun is indeed handsome.

But his skills were lacking.

In fact, not everyone necessarily agrees with Xie Miao.

how to say.

Xie Miao isn't exactly handsome.

However, after several auditions, everyone felt that Xie Miao's demeanor was more in line with Wang Chao's personality.

Xie Miao ultimately got the role.

After Chen Yang joined the film crew.

Xie Miao also made a special trip to express his gratitude to Chen Yang.

Although Chen Yang didn't decide on the role of Xie Miao, he had previously given his opinion on it.

Where is Chen Yang?

I think Xie Miao is alright.

Although he knew Xie Miao wasn't very handsome.

But how to say it.

Take later generations as an example.

In the realm of television dramas, we may need more leading actors who are more handsome.

But in the film industry...

As the series progresses, it seems that appearance is no longer a major factor.

On the contrary, many actors with ordinary looks have seen their box office revenue increase.

People like Huang Bo, Shen Teng, Wang Baobao, Zhang Yi...

Although Shen Teng was the school heartthrob.

But he wasn't famous at all when he was the school heartthrob.

He only became famous after he became an older man.

Those with stunning looks all flopped at the box office.

Characters like Lu Han and Xiao Zhan seem to have a huge fan base in TV dramas.

When it comes to movies, everything falls apart.

Another example is TFboys.

The two brothers who are the most handsome among the three brothers are ironically the ones who have had the worst career development.

The other one, who was the least attractive, became the most popular among the most popular.

So how to say it.

It's like free novels versus paid novels.

Everyone will watch it if it's free.

Whether you write well or poorly doesn't matter, it's just something to pass the time.

People don't have very high expectations of you.

But it's time to charge.

That's not the case at all.

If you don't write well, your readers will teach you a lesson in no time.

Upon seeing Xie Miao arrive, Chen Yang chatted with Xie Miao about the character Wang Chao.

Xie Miao is a celebrity.

But he knew that the original author in front of him, although not famous in the industry, was definitely a big shot.

Chen Yang suggested that people should take the time to study the history of the War of Resistance against Japan.

Yes.

The first part of Dragon and Snake is most about four words: a strong nation and a strong race.

To truly understand these four words, learn more about the history of the War of Resistance Against Japan, and you will gain a deeper understanding of the importance of a strong nation and a strong people.

Xie Miao was also very grateful to Chen Yang.

Then came the opening ceremony.

Chen Yang, the original author, also took a group photo with a group of actors, directors, and producers.

……

"Liang Wan?"

The group photo session ended.

Chen Yang saw a very familiar figure.

Upon closer inspection, he recognized him as Liang Wan, his classmate from senior year of high school.

"Beautiful Liang, I almost didn't recognize you."

Female transformation.

Chen Yang and Liang Wan hadn't seen each other for a long time.

We only met a few times after I entered university in my senior year of high school.

Liang Wan didn't return for several more semesters.

Chen Yang knew.

Liang Wan later entered the entertainment industry, so he must be very busy.

So we were originally classmates, and at first we would chat in the group.

Later on, the high school group chat fell silent.

Chen Yang sometimes sighed with emotion.

Having lived two lives, he had seen it all before.

No matter how well you get along, what will happen when your social circles and networks no longer overlap?

It's actually quite difficult to go back to the way things were before.

"Chen Yang, it's been a long time."

Seeing that Chen Yang recognized him, Liang Wan was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. I only got a small role in your film crew."

Chen Yang and Liang Wan found a place.

Although he had no special relationship with Liang Wan.

But the friendships formed during the three years of high school are still there.

"What are you talking about? Although I wrote this novel, I didn't have much power in the production team. Let's talk about you instead. I heard you entered the industry before, and I've always wanted to ask you about it, but sometimes I didn't know how to ask."

"I don't know how to put it. My dream since I was a child was to become a star, to stand on the stage, and to be in the spotlight. After entering university, I thought I was lucky, and I thought I could realize my dream. But unfortunately, the entertainment industry is not easy to navigate. Haha, I used to think I was pretty. But after entering the industry, I realized that I'm actually quite ordinary-looking."

Liang Wan made a joke.

Chen Yang was amused, but still said, "What do you mean 'ordinary'? I think you're still very pretty. Look, how many classmates liked you in high school? Ai Yonghuan, Qiu Quanlong, and the others."

"Don't mention Ai Yonghuan. As for Qiu Quanlong, he's not a bad person, but he's too much of a womanizer. I heard he's had several girlfriends already."

"Isn't that normal? He didn't go to university, he took over his father's business, and once he enters society, he'll inevitably have a girlfriend. By the way, besides this role, do you have any other roles?"

"I also think that I had to beg and plead to get this role. And it's only a one-minute scene."

"One minute is good. Many superstars started as extras. Look at Stephen Chow, do you know what he played back then? He played Soldier A, just a quick 'ah'... and that was it. Take it slow, I believe in you."

"Haha, thanks, talking to you has made me feel much better. By the way, do you keep in touch with your other classmates?"

"To be honest, it's not very frequent. I contact Wei Zi and Zhang Lin more often. As for the others, we chat on QQ occasionally."

"IM about the same."

The two were chatting.

A voice suddenly came from the side: "Chen Yang, we were just looking for you. You were asking where you were. You little rascal, you've been flirting with pretty girls as soon as you arrived on set."

The speaker was Han Sanping.

Chen Yang and Han Sanping have been interacting a lot lately. Knowing that Han Sanping was joking, Chen Yang said, "Mr. Han, what do you mean by flirting with beautiful women? This is my high school classmate. I never expected that he would take on a role in Dragon and Snake."

"Oh, your classmate?"

Han Sanping was taken aback and looked at Liang Wan: "Who are you?"

Liang Wan quickly said, "President Han, my name is Liang Wan. I play Cao Jingjing in Dragon and Snake, who is also Officer Cao's daughter and the protagonist's high school classmate."

"Oh……"

"Mr. Han, I have other matters to attend to. You two carry on."

Seeing Han Sanping looking for Chen Yang, Liang Wan said, "Chen Yang, let's talk later."

"Row."

Chen Yang nodded.

"Your female classmate is quite nice. We all know you, but she hasn't mentioned you to us."

Han Sanping watched Liang Wan leave and said.

Chen Yang shrugged: "What's the point of mentioning me? I'm not even on set, what power do I have?"

"That's incredibly powerful. You're the original author, and even the higher-ups are praising you. Let me tell you, even the higher-ups are paying attention to my drama."

"Is that so, Mr. Han? If this drama is ruined, your future will be over."

"Haha, not that bad. But it's still pretty tough."

Han Sanping laughed loudly: "Let's go, let's eat."

……

Although the opening ceremony was called the start of production.

But the opening ceremony only involved filming one scene, followed by a meal. Chen Yang and Han Sanping sat at the same table.

This table was arguably the most powerful in the entire film crew.

The cast includes Han Sanping, the producer, production company, director, action director, and lead actor/actress.

Chen Yang exchanged his views on Dragon and Snake with the director and action director.

Overall, Chen Yang felt pretty good.

In terms of production costs, actor fees only account for 30% of the total budget, with the rest going towards production costs.

This greatly ensures the quality of the film.

After spending two days on set, Chen Yang left.

on the way back.

Liang Wan made a phone call to Chen Yang.

Special thanks to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang was somewhat baffled.

I only found out after I learned about it.

After Chen Yang met Liang Wan last time, China Film Group arranged several roles for Liang Wan.

Although the roles assigned to them are not very important, most of the dramas invested in by China Film Group are big productions.

Getting even one role would be great.

There were several roles that Liang Wan was so excited about that he thought he was dreaming.

After chatting with his agent, Liang Wan realized that his high school classmate was incredibly powerful.

……

Chen Yang did not stay in Shanghai during the winter break.

Instead, they went straight back to their hometown to prepare for the Chinese New Year.

He's just a writer of online novels; he doesn't have much serious business to do.

No matter how many things you have to do, nothing beats going back to your hometown for the Chinese New Year.

Same as before.

None of my high school classmates came back that year.

Zhang Lin continued playing his game.

Liang Wan is filming a movie.

Wei Zi is working on a project.

Qiu Xiaohua reportedly rented a storefront and was running a small business.

Qiu Quanlong, who was originally at home, is said to have grown his business so much that he probably won't be able to come home for the Lunar New Year.

However, it's been quite cold in many places this year.

It snowed in Ganzhou, where Chen Yang lives, and it snowed even more in other places.

Such a cold day.

Chen Yang sensed that Qiu Quanlong's fruit business might not be doing well.

This was certainly not a random guess by Chen Yang.

He remembered that in one of his previous lives, a heavy snowfall froze all the navel oranges in Xinfeng.

Qiu Quanlong runs a business from home, and the main fruit is navel oranges.

Navel oranges are not particularly easy to store.

When the weather gets cold, navel oranges that used to sell for 2 yuan per kilogram are now selling for 5 cents per kilogram and nobody wants them.

It is said that during that period, many navel orange merchants suffered heavy losses.

Some farmers cut down their navel orange trees and planted other crops instead.

On Chen Yang's parents' side.

Because the planting area was small, the fruit was sold in November, so it was not greatly affected.

shook his head.

Chen Yang didn't want to think about it.

That's how business is done.

Writing books is still the least troublesome.

When writing a book, the only consideration is whether it's well-written or not.

If it's good, people will watch it.

If it's not good, no one will watch it.

You won't lose money.

……

of course.

Writing a book isn't without its troubles.

such as.

With winter break here, fans are urging for more updates even more enthusiastically than usual.

"Bu Yang Shen, I forgave you for not updating much during the week because you're in class. Now that it's winter break, shouldn't you update more?"

"Isn't winter break a holiday? Why are you updating more often?"

"Are you itching for a beating? You're not updating Dragon and Snake for now, and one Battle Through the Heavens isn't enough to keep you entertained."

"Uh……"

Ok.

It's not that Longshe doesn't want to update.

The real reason is related to the Dragon and Snake movies.

There are a few interesting plot points that Chen Yang is reluctant to reveal in the book.

For the sake of the movie.

Chen Yang is taking an unprecedented break from updating his blog for a period of time.

of course.

If Chen Yang were only writing a book, he would never stop updating it, even if you beat him to death.

But Chen Yang also has another novel, Battle Through the Heavens.

Popularity won't be affected too much.

But since there have been no updates on the Dragon and Snake side, the readers' appetites have already become more demanding.

Just like how you normally eat two dishes every day, but now you're only eating one, it's not enough.

"Instead of praising the gods, why not create another work that establishes a new genre?"

A fan shouted something in the group chat.

Chen Yang was both amused and exasperated: "It's not that easy."

"Isn't it that easy for you?"

"Cough cough..."

Ok.

Being too awesome before isn't necessarily a good thing.

As a result, everyone's expectations of themselves are getting higher and higher.

This is not.

They always feel the need to create a new school of thought.

Don't say that creating a new style is that easy.

Even if it exists.

Chen Yang couldn't just unleash such a sudden burst of power all the time.

If I output everything at once, what will I write next?
of course.

Some innovations cannot necessarily be implemented right now.

For example, the ordinary people that Chen Yang has always wanted to write... etc.

The novel "Ordinary People" has over 700 million words.

If Chen Yang were to write, how long would it take?

Even if Chen Yang were to adapt it, it wouldn't be a story that could be finished in just one or two million words.

It will definitely reach over 300 million words by then.

Add another one, Battle Through the Heavens.

At that point, Chen Yang really won't be able to rest for even a single day.

"How about this: I can write, but I can't guarantee that I can keep updating."

Chen Yang thought for a moment and then said.

"Sure, it doesn't have to be divine, but it has to be good-looking."

"It will definitely look good."

Chen Yang said, "I wouldn't write it if it wasn't good. I only write it to entertain myself because it's good."

"In that case, this book is really good."

Hearing Chen Yang say this, the fans became quite excited.

Battle Through the Heavens is good, but we can't watch it all the time.

Occasionally, it's nice to change things up, especially with some new varieties, which can sometimes be even more enjoyable than the classic ones you've been following.

"Okay, I'll think about it first and then post it later."

Anyway, winter break is boring.

I can't even find a classmate to go out for barbecue with.

As a writer, Chen Yang had no choice but to incorporate entertainment into his writing.

However, it's called typing.

Chen Yang also said it openly.

He wrote this to entertain everyone, and also to entertain himself. We can't keep urging him to update every day.

After all, it can be quite satisfying to write something creative, insightful, and eye-opening for readers.

What to write?

Chen Yang stroked his chin, lost in thought.

Should we start another playstyle and have some fun?
This is indeed a bit of a dilemma.

Where is Chen Yang?

I want to open up, but I also don't want to.

The reason I'm so open-minded is that as long as I create a new style of art, it will definitely be incredibly satisfying.

The reason I don't want to start it is that if there's too much output, I won't know what to write next.

Ten minutes later.

Chen Yang slapped himself.

Why think so much?

It's like having all the beautiful women in your bed, and you still want other girls?
Let’s feel good first and then talk about it.

Ok.

Think about it.

Chen Yang proudly posted in the book club group: "Brothers, please call me the founding father again tomorrow."
