Chapter 405 Writer Xiao Chen appears again
It was also mid-April, before Chen Linfeng joined the group.
After translation, the new draft of the novel "Destiny" has finally been confirmed for release.
Just in June, a wave of students were on vacation.
Chen Linfeng now has fans of all ages.
Adults who loved reading his novels back then are still chasing new books.
Children back then, because they grew up hearing his name, many of them were his fans.
There are almost no students who don’t know him.
As soon as the news of the expected release of the new book was released, it immediately spread throughout the Internet.
Fans rushed to tell each other, burning paper to their deceased relatives and friends to tell them the good news.
"Ye Qing Hui, finally published the third book."
"Do you know how long I have been waiting, ten years! A whole ten years!"
"The first two novels are accompanied by animation and I have read and played the game countless times, and finally the third book has been released.”
“It has been pre-ordered and will be shipped in two months.”
"It's still a long time coming, I can't wait any longer."
"..."
Compared to ordinary book lovers, the online literary circle has a greater reaction to this.
The pen name Qilin is almost legendary in the Internet literary circle. Too many people imitate his style and start writing novels.
It can be said that there are many people who are inspired by Chen Linfeng’s writing style and plot design.
Many online writers simply ask for leave in advance, saying that they will buy books and read them when the time comes.
Invisibly, I also helped with a wave of advertising.
Chen Linfeng really doesn’t need any publicity when publishing a book now. There are too many people helping to spread the news.
Even on Neon's side, the development of the "Fate" series is no worse than that of FATE in the previous life.
Because of Chen Linfeng's own reputation, it is much better accordingly.
KyoAni’s animation is better than the previous version.
His policy of allowing fan creations has allowed the influence of his works to continue to spread and last for a long time.
In fact, some companies have thought about fighting for the copyright of "Destiny" and making a film and television adaptation, but they were rejected by Chen Linfeng.
Whether it is made into a movie or a TV series, the current level of special effects cannot fully express the various superpower settings in the novel.
That might as well leave it to the future.
"Book of Life and Death" is slightly different. Now it can actually be adapted into a film and television version.
It's just that Chen Linfeng still prefers the animation form. This can be regarded as his mindset.
It was also produced by KyoAni and was released last year.
It happened to be the time when Chen Linfeng was promoting in Europe, and it was broadcast as a July episode.
Thanks to the success of "Sherlock", the results are not bad either. The BD sales exceed 50,000, which is a masterpiece that surpasses the wall of masterpieces.
Thanks to Chen Linfeng’s incentives for animation adaptations of his works, KyoAni has made a lot of money from him.
Even if KyoAni is now focused on adapting its own films, it will almost never take on external roles.
But Chen Linfeng is the unique exception.
KyoAni is now focusing on his other works:
"Her", "Infinite World" and "Sherlock".
Given that "Sherlock" has been made into a British drama and is extremely popular.
What they want to produce more is "Her" and "Infinite World".
However, based on Chen Linfeng's consideration, it is better for "Her" to maintain a purely literary form, which will appear more serious and literary.
In the past two years, "Her" has continued to win awards internationally. With the development of the times, it has become more and more praised by the world.
Chen Linfeng has high hopes for its future.
And "Infinite World" is already about to be released as a movie, so naturally it is not suitable for an animated version.
Disney also does not allow copyright leakage.
Even Neon Publishing House, which was the first to cooperate with Chen Linfeng, like Kodansha, was only able to invest in films and could not share in the later profits.
The only person who can share the copyright together is Chen Linfeng, the original author.
If we count like this, there is no other long-form work that KyoAni and the others can adapt.
So when "Destiny 3" is about to be released, the happiest person is KyoAni. This is a new gold mine.
When Chen Linfeng was filming on the set, he got a call from there, wanting to discuss cooperation in adapting the animation.
He left the matter to Sister Mei to discuss as usual, while he thought about the follow-up path of the novel.
At this point, he could have put aside his efforts in the field of literary publishing.
After all, it is more time-consuming, and the income is not as high as that of a movie.
Even if a literary film like "Sunset" spent a lot of public relations fees at Cannes and Oscars, the final revenue would exceed tens of millions.
If it were a commercial movie, the revenue would have doubled.
But Chen Linfeng had other considerations.
His current status seems to be more famous as a director and actor, but in fact, for more ordinary people, he is more popular as a writer.
This popularity refers to the degree of respect and popularity.
Needless to say, respect, being a writer is a high-quality profession that is common in the world.
In terms of popularity, more people know about Chen Linfeng through novels.
Even if you have not seen his film and television works, or even read his novels, you will probably know that he is a writer.
This is a very common phenomenon. Chen Linfeng specially asked the network team to analyze it.
The biggest possibility is that when he was very young, media from various countries reported on him as a young writer.
This extreme discrepancy between age and achievement is too easy to spread.
Many people know that there was a well-known writer in China who was less than 20 years old (at that time) and made a lot of money just by writing novels.
And educate their children in this way. The overseas version of "Other People's Children" belongs to it.
After such an impression was formed, when he truly became famous through film and television, people immediately connected with the previous rumors.
Many people will suddenly realize: "It turns out to be him."
Therefore, when many people pay attention to his news, they will focus on his novel achievements.
This is one of the reasons why Chen Linfeng's novels are relatively easy to sell around the world.
He doesn’t want to give up this impression that he has cultivated in the minds of people around the world.
So I still have to continue writing the novel.
Chen Linfeng's consideration is to improve the past series of novels on the one hand, and to enhance and enrich the world of past novels by writing extras.
For example, in "Infinite World", the experiences of teams such as the Devils, Celestials, and Arctic Team can also be written.
In addition, Zhang Jie's previous experience, the continuation of the main text, and a sequel like "Infinite Dawn" can also be written.
In fact, he had already tried similar operations on "Destiny" before.
As for Nao Mushroom, he and he often exchanged extra settings via email online, and both of them also wrote some extras.
Including "King Arthur", "Qin Wang Zheng", etc. to describe the past of the servant.
"Infinite World" can also be done this way.
"Book of Life and Death" previously had the setting of digging a special bureau, and this can also be used to introduce new stories.
In this way, previously completed novels can be expanded.
On the other hand, new books still have to be written.
A lot of the inventory in Chen Linfeng's mind has been depleted, and most of the remaining ones he has read are online articles.
As for online articles, there are not many that are suitable for writing and publishing, even if they are very famous in the publishing industry.
Then there aren't many choices.
Chen Linfeng wrote some options on paper and arranged them, preparing to start another series after "Sherlock 3" is finished.
At present, "Sherlock" is still relatively urgent. Yingguang has urged it many times and it is difficult to delay it any longer.
Seeing that there was only one novel left to adapt, they were anxious and worried whether the subsequent plot could keep up.
The British people are also calling on him on European and American social media every now and then to ask him to write a book quickly.
When Chen Linfeng thought about his decision to continue writing novels, he felt that he would not be able to escape the fate of being urged to write more novels in this life, or at least in the next ten years.
......
It's early May, and the crew of "Your Name" has been traveling around the world and has changed several filming locations.
Now we have arrived in Shanghai.
The male protagonist and the female protagonist are urban and rural people respectively. For the city, Chen Linfeng chose Shen Cheng as the representative of intentionality.
The crew found corresponding locations for the subway and the classic staircase meeting place in the original work.
Speaking of which, filming on the subway is quite troublesome, that is, Chen Linfeng, otherwise it would not be easy to clear a carriage for filming.
Especially because he is so famous that he almost caused a congestion during filming.
However, this kind of big news also adds more publicity to the movie, which can be considered good or bad.
At the end of the day's shooting, Chen Linfeng, Liu Qianqian, and Sister Mei were talking in the hotel.
Summer season is almost here.
Sister Mei began to introduce this year’s summer schedule.
First of all, domestically, there are several films in June such as "On the Road", "Battle of Shama Town", "Ocean Paradise" and "The Prequel of Ip Man".
In July there will be "The King of Guns", "Tangshan Earthquake", and several cartoons.
In August, there will be "City Alert", "Suicide Squad", "Informant", etc.
"This is a movie that has already been scheduled. I got the news from China Film, Wanda, and some friends in the industry."
Chen Linfeng thought for a while, forget it in June, and he is not too ready to do it this month. Released.
July's "Tangshan Earthquake" is a strong opponent. Gangzi has been at the peak of his creation in the past few years, and he is not as dead as he was later.
It was those animated movies that made him pay more attention.
One "Yangtze River No. 7 Loves the Earth" and the other "Dream Back to Jinsha City" have never been heard of in previous lives.
Animation in this era is still not good. Regardless of the quality, public attention is too low.
This can be seen from the current development of v station. Animation is still too niche.
We have to wait until a large number of people born in the 1990s enter university.
Chen Linfeng asked in detail about the release time of "Tangshan Earthquake".
Sister Mei hesitated for a moment, "Xiao Feng, they are only tentatively planning for July and have not confirmed it yet. I heard that they want to wait until we confirm it before they can make a decision.
Huayi also specifically sent word that we would not conflict over dates and that it would be best to negotiate in private without hurting face. "
"That's it," Chen Linfeng pondered for a moment, "let's choose the beginning of July. "
But then he asked strangely, "After Huayi's stock price rose sharply after its listing, they didn't inflate? Shouldn't everyone give way to him at this time? "
Sister Mei shook her head, "Why not? It's just that they don't have this ambition now. I heard that they are making large acquisitions in the capital market and are planning to build a live entertainment industry. ”
Ah, it’s only been so long since I was so ambitious about making movies and making blockbusters.
It seems that these two people are still following the same path as in their previous lives.
Chen Linfeng no longer thinks about Huayi's problems and does not strive for betterment in this aspect.
He looked at the calendar totals and said, "You and Director Feng should discuss it. It's best if we occupy the time on the 9th. They will be released on the 23rd. They will be separated by two weeks and no one will affect each other."
There is also a reason for choosing this time.
A little earlier, in June, not all students will have a holiday. If it is later, everyone may have spent the money they had booked for entertainment, and they are reluctant or have no money to watch a movie.
Therefore, during the summer season, the time around early July is generally better.
Sister Mei nodded, "I will contact you later."
Chen Linfeng continued to ask, "In the beautiful country, is there any news about the summer movies?"
Sister Mei gave a brief summary of the news she had received.
