Chapter 364 Going the opposite direction

The popularity of "The Three-Body Problem" has indeed exploded, and this popularity is mainly due to the speed-reading video of Zhang Beihai's plot.
Therefore, there are no related hot searches about the third part of "Death Eternal Life" yet.
Most ordinary viewers don't know "Cheng Xin" yet, let alone characters such as "Yun Tianming", "Wade" and "Ai AA".
However, even so, just the content of "Once Upon a Time on the Red Bank" and "Dark Forest" has already made "The Three-Body Problem" pop up with 6 hot search terms.
This is still a hot search term.
There are a lot of terms that are not on the hot search list.
Whether it's the characters, the settings, or even some of the lines, they're all being talked about.
Below the comment area of related content, everyone is very eager to discuss.
[I want to know now, is there really a Hong'an base? 】
[I prove it, I am the cauldron at Hong'an Base. At the beginning, the commander-in-chief used my words to confront the Trisolarans]
[I prove that what he said is true, because I am the base of the cauldron]
【Eradicate human tyranny, the world belongs to the Three-Body Problem! 】
[Capture ETO members alive, it is recommended to arrest them quickly and interrogate them (dog head)]
[Brothers, to be honest, this novel really made me feel numb after reading it. How can it be so strong? 】
[I don’t know what you are talking about, this novel has no scientific basis and is completely incomparable with foreign science fiction novels]
[Yes, yes, the only shortcoming of this novel is that it was written by Xu Xiyu, a Chinese. If it were a foreigner, you would probably want to lick it all]
[@Xu Xiyu, when will "The Three-Body Problem" be filmed? 】
[@Xu Xiyu, my eldest brother is asking you, when will "The Three-Body Problem" be filmed? It is suggested that we set up a team today, finish filming tomorrow, and go online the day after tomorrow. How come you are so young and don't know how to take advantage of the heat? 】
[Even if you don’t take pictures, the book should be published first. Reading the electronic version makes your eyes hurt]
[I said, why are two of his three TV series on science fiction themes? I bet he is really a science fiction writer? 】
[Laughing, can any cat or dog be called a writer these days? 】
[The big guys in the Science Fiction Literature Committee of the Writers Association say he is a science fiction writer. What is your dog barking here? 】
[Haha, the scene where Zhang Beihai was written to death and was forced to be sensational, I wanted to laugh when I saw it, you people are really good at licking it]
As soon as this comment came out, Li Yiguang's smile disappeared instantly.
After watching the "Three-Body" speed reading video for so long, his favorite is Zhang Beihai.
Now some people say that Zhang Beihai's death was forced to sensationalize?
This made Li Yiguang immediately start typing and complaining, starting from a simple bad breath to a detailed analysis of the meaning of Zhang Beihai's death.
After replying for more than ten paragraphs, Li Yiguang suddenly froze.
"Wait, what the hell am I doing???"
"What are you going to do?" On the other side, someone also asked a similar question. This person was Hu Ningwei.
She was sitting in the same car with Hu Ningtian, heading to Guangzhou.
Along the way, Hu Ningtian made various insinuations, trying to test Hu Ningwei's true attitude towards Xu Xiyu.
But Hu Ningwei was not stupid. After being annoyed by the questions, she began to act coquettishly and try to fool her.
The two brothers and sisters battled wits and courage all the way.
"You still ask me what I want to do, but I want to ask you, what do you want to do?" Hu Ningtian asked.
"What can I do?" Hu Ningwei asked.
"You can do a lot of things, okay, I can't control you anymore when you grow up."
"I'm already this old, am I still a child? I don't care about you dating eighteen women at the same time. Why do you care about me having fun with my friends?"
"Who bagged eighteen women!" Hu Ningtian's voice suddenly rose.
"Who knows who did it?" Hu Ningwei rolled her eyes.
"Don't change the subject for me. Don't say that I didn't pack so much. Even if I did pack it, would it be the same as you and Xu Xiyu?"
"Of course that's different. He and I are serious friends! Your relationship is all informal." Hu Ningwei directly defeated the whole army in her words.
And Hu Ningtian was indeed choked by her rebuke.
He smacked his lips and then said: "I don't care. Anyway, don't have any messy thoughts about Xu Xiyu. He has a girlfriend and has met his parents."
"What's the matter? Haven't you met him before?" Hu Ningwei turned away and muttered.
"Ah?" Hu Ningtian didn't understand for a while. What did he mean that he had met him before?
Before he could figure it out, Hu Ningwei hugged his arm with a smile and said coquettishly: "Oh brother, you are so annoying. Can you stop saying these nonsense words over and over every time? My ears are getting calloused. .”
"You think I want to say it again and again?" Hu Ningtian said angrily.
"If you want to understand something, people have a rebellious mentality. You keep emphasizing it back and forth like this. Even if you don't feel it, you will emphasize it and feel it." Hu Ningwei said with cunning eyes.
Before Hu Ningtian realized it, his sister was already sharing the blame for him. He was even thinking that what his sister said seemed to make sense.
That was at the same time that Hu Ningwei was "strengthening" her brother.
Li Yiguang's Qian Jiaheng also began to add intensity to "The Beginning".
All kinds of "praising", "deliberately bragging" and "cross-talking" remarks appeared in a concentrated manner. It seems to be raising everyone's expectations for "The Beginning".
Such public opinion was naturally monitored by Xu Xiyu's people, and the results of the monitoring were reported to Xu Xiyu in a timely manner.
But, then again, this situation was within his expectation.
He even felt that no one needed to set the pace.
The emergence of "The Three-Body Problem" will definitely raise everyone's expectations for "The Beginning" and "New Paradise: Wangxian", two works labeled as science fiction.
Expectation is a good thing, because expectation means attention.
At the same time, expectations are also a bad thing, because there is definitely a gap between expectations and reality.
"What should I say, should we insist on launching "The Beginning" first? I think we can delay it until the popularity of "Three-Body Problem" passes." Lu Qinyao suggested after seeing this situation.
Xu Xiyu shook his head when he heard this: "No, the more this time is, the more I want to appear in "The Beginning"."
"Why?" Lu Qinyao was a little confused.
"Yes, there may be a gap now, but one thing to be clear is that this gap is not caused by quality. It is caused by volume. The volume of "The Beginning" is too small."
"Indeed, 12 episodes are indeed not large."
"No, the volume I'm talking about is not the length of the episode, but the volume of the story perspective. To put it simply, saving a person on a bus brings a different sense of volume than saving all mankind.< br>
However, it is precisely because the sense of volume is so different that it gave "The Beginning" a chance. Because, only in this way can the audience feel it intuitively.
Although they are both science fiction themes, "The Beginning", "The Three-Body Problem" and "New Paradise" are in different categories. It is actually very important for us to let the audience realize this.
Because "The Three-Body Problem" is only one of our IPs, we will release other series of works in the future. If we always have to use "The Three-Body Problem" as a reference, aren't we creating a prison for ourselves?
Is it possible that in the future when we shoot science fiction, we can only shoot starships and the universe? This is definitely wrong. Firstly, the audience will be bored; secondly, we may not have that much creativity and budget.
Therefore, this time we are going to use the differences between these three works to expand the audience's horizons for different science fiction categories and strive for a broader creative space for ourselves. ”
After hearing Xu Xiyu's analysis, Lu Qinyao fell into deep thought.
After thinking about it for a while, she said: "This is the truth, and it should be done, but the problem is that at this moment, I am still a little worried about the data."
"Don't worry, don't forget, "The Three-Body Problem" is just a novel now. And "The Beginning" is a TV series. Whether a TV series is good or not is not only affected by the script.
There are also supporting aspects such as the performance of the actors, the scheduling of the shots, the editing of the pictures, the background of the soundtrack, etc. Not only that, don’t look at how popular “The Three-Body Problem” is right now.
But compared to the audience of TV series, they are still a minority. In other words, more people still don’t know what “The Three-Body Problem” is about.
As long as "The Beginning" is good to watch, there will naturally be an audience to watch it. And I am very confident about the watchability of "The Beginning". "Xu Xiyu smiled and shook his head.
"But what if someone just wants to lead this rhythm? I think there are people who are already setting the pace now and want to raise the expectations for "The Beginning"."
"They set the rhythm, so we won't do it?" Xu Xiyu asked, and after speaking, he winked at Lu Qinyao.
At this time, Lu Qinyao suddenly reacted.
Okay.
When it comes to rhythm, this guy is a real expert.
So, she asked curiously: "Then what do you plan to do?"
"Do you remember why I chose to leak "The Three-Body Problem" at that time?"
"Why? I'm worried that some people will say that "The Beginning" is not a science fiction genre, so use "The Three-Body Problem" to prove your ability in science fiction creation." Lu Qinyao replied without hesitation.
"Yes, if there was no "Three-Body Problem", there would definitely be people who would criticize me in this regard. Now because "The Three-Body Problem" has come out, become a hit, and has been recognized by the audience and the science fiction literary world.
Therefore, that approach didn't work, and they could only resort to the next best option to raise expectations for "The Beginning." In this case, let's do the opposite.
We took the initiative to set the pace, saying that "The Beginning" is not science fiction, saying that I was falsely promoting and randomly labeling it, and saying that I didn't understand science fiction at all. ”
"Huh?"
"Tell me, the seniors in the science fiction literary world who are now helping me cheer for me, what will they do if they see someone questioning my false propaganda and saying that I don't understand science fiction?
And those knowledgeable science fiction fans, netizens who like "The Three-Body Problem", how will they react when they see someone questioning that I don't understand science fiction? ”
As soon as these words came out, Lu Qinyao's eyes slowly lit up.
If this is the case, then these people will definitely speak for Xu Xiyu.
In the process of speaking, didn’t some definitions of soft science fiction and hard science fiction spread?
Not only that, the group that is most likely to have a gap in expectations happens to be netizens who like "The Three-Body Problem".
Once their attention turned to helping Xu Xiyu "argue".
Then will we still pay attention to what is the gap or not?
People, once they take sides, some of their ideas will change.
