Chapter 117 Look, this pie is big and round
Sister Mei also brought the sales of Infinite World 2 this month.
Now that Chen Linfeng’s new book is on sale, it can barely be said to have global sales statistics.
In general, the first month sales in various countries combined have exceeded one million.
Affected by this, the sales of Infinite World 1 also increased slightly.
In fact, the sales curve of the first book has increased significantly since a few months ago.
From April to October, sales increased by 2 million. You know, this book was written two years ago.
Generally, there is no special reason. Sales of works at this time will tend to be stable.
However, these two million directly pushed Infinite World 1 to the top of the best-selling lists in Europe and the United States.
Preliminary domestic sales have declined compared to the previous two years because Chen Linfeng has reduced his promotional business.
But overall, sales are relatively strong, and the popularity of his works is already at the top of the domestic publishing industry.
Those who should buy will always buy after hearing the news as time goes by.
For people who don’t have the habit of reading, it will be difficult to attract their attention unless there is some out-of-circle incident.
For example, film and television, or official ending recommendations.
These are still too far away, Chen Linfeng continues his campus life.
Within a few days, Liu Qianqian and Shu Chang both left school and joined the crew for filming.
Two people, one went to the set of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and the other went to "Jingwei Reclamation".
Both are good dramas, and can be regarded as masterpieces of their respective careers.
Chen Linfeng expressed that he was not envious at all.
He continued to write novels in school, and he has been writing the work since last year - "She".
Compared with last year's outline, Chen Linfeng emphatically added a description of the heroine of this work in the follow-up.
That is artificial intelligence.
In the movie of the previous life, the "she" was a strong artificial intelligence.
Be able to feel the emotion in the hero's words and doubt his own existence.
This is close to real intelligent life.
In Chen Linfeng's setting, "she" is just a relatively advanced artificial intelligence.
It may be more powerful than the later ChatGPT, but the essence is similar.
Although he has specially designed it when describing the dialogue between the male and female protagonists, it will make people think that this is an ordinary girl.
This is also the reason why the male protagonist will eventually fall in love with "her".
But Chen Linfeng kept giving hints in his writing.
Everything is a set program, targeted words based on big data. There is no emotion and no real communication.
It’s just that he hides it secretly enough, and you may need to be more careful to see it.
If you only look at it on the surface, this is the story of a man falling in love with a woman with a special point through chatting.
It may even give readers a more relaxed and enjoyable experience.
Like Let the Bullets Fly, on the surface, it is just a movie about bandits beating landlords.
In order to achieve this, Chen Linfeng has changed the work many times. Every time he writes it, he will let people around him read it.
Especially the reader Shi Xiaolong.
I have to make him feel that the novel is both relaxing and beautiful.
Besides attending school and writing, Chen Linfeng is also paying attention to the recent broadcast of "Detective Di Renjie".
It premiered on CCTV 8 in August, with a ratings of more than 3%, ranking among the top three dramas in the same period. As the first series without the blessing of a big-name star, it is not bad.
The most important thing is that it has a good reputation and is currently being discussed online.
Currently, local stations have started to air it in rotation, and the ratings are generally very good.
Detective Di Renjie typically relies on carousels to expand his influence.
Although the ratings are not that explosive, a lot of people watch every time it is replayed, which gradually expands its influence.
At present, Chen’s father has confirmed that there will be a next film, and the second phase of the Pingshi Film and Television City project has also begun. Pingshi invested 600 million this time, and Chen Shantong followed up with investment in proportion to the shares.
Just after class that day, Chen’s father came to the school to find Chen Linfeng, and Fang Hua was with him.
The late autumn weather is already a little chilly.
The three of them found a lamb soup noodle restaurant near the school that was run by a native of Yuan Province, and planned to chat while eating.
Fang Hua mentioned the Zhenguan Reign that he talked about a few months ago, and took out the script Chen Linfeng gave him a few months ago from his bag.
"The literary and art department of the main station is very satisfied with your script, but because it feels that the content is too little, we asked someone to add some content. Let's see how it goes."
Before the food is served, Chen Linfeng I took the script and opened it.
He is very familiar with his script. He just skips the unchanged parts and only looks at the changed parts.
After roughly watching it, the previous main part has basically remained unchanged, except for the addition of some interactive scenes between Li Shimin and Guanyin, as well as the emotional scenes between him and Princess Li Yuanji.
What is this?
When did Huayang Station do this?
But not to mention, the emotional scene between Li Erfeng and Changsun was quite well written, which can be regarded as making up for Chen Linfeng's previous shortcomings. After all, he has been single for two lifetimes, so it is normal that he is not good at writing relationships.
Originally, the script written by Chen Linfeng was somewhat written in the direction of a sex-transformed version of The Legend of Zhen Huan. It would be fine if it was embellished with more emotional scenes.
Just this, the affectionate scene with his brother and sister, isn't it a bit...
This way of writing reminded him of the Secret History of Xiaozhuang, which was like a historical drama and an idol drama.
Continue to look at the back, this part is what happened after the Xuanwumen incident.
Chen Linfeng didn’t write it, it should have been written by a new screenwriter.
After watching a paragraph, he frowned. The plot was somewhat similar to "The Long Song of Zhenguan" in his previous life.
Almost all of them are palace dramas. To be honest, the writing is a bit bad.
Chen Linfeng finished reading it roughly, not mentioning the second half for the time being, but talking about the previous changes.
"Brother Fang, it's too childish for Li Shimin to fall in love with his younger brother and sister. The part with Guanyin Maid was pretty good. Who wrote this?"
"Yang Haiwei, the author of "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang" The screenwriter was specially hired to polish it, and the overall structure was not touched. He just added some emotional scenes to give you some face.”
This is really it!
“Why do you have to add an emotional scene?”
At this time, the restaurant prepared the food and started to serve the food.
All three of them wanted the mutton steamed buns, which was perfect when the weather was cold.
Fang Hua broke the steamed buns and said, "It's not that I have to add more. It's just that in the past two years, the influence of Bangliu in China has increased significantly. After research in Taili, I felt that other people's emotional dramas are good, so there are An attempt in this area."
Chen Linfeng shook his head, "I think this is a serious historical drama, so forget it. I can keep some of the emotional scenes with Guanyin, and I'll delete the rest."
"Then it's still up to you, after all, it's your book."
Fang Hua has no objection.
Chen Shantong picked some pieces of meat for Chen Linfeng's bowl, and then chatted with Fang Hua about investing in the next new drama.
He is still willing to cooperate with CCTV, but the company's manpower expansion is not that fast, so he can only focus on one side.
Now we are coordinating with Fang Hua to see which way it will lean.
Fang Hua is not interested in the people behind Long Lin. CCTV has too many talents in this area.
What he wants is Long Lin’s group of extras with Kung Fu background, which is so useful.
Chen Linfeng listened to the two people bargaining and suddenly suggested, "Since resources are difficult to allocate, let's just integrate them."
Fang Hua asked with interest, "How do you say it?"
" Look at our two dramas, the scripts are from Li Shimin's beginning in the Tang Dynasty to the end of the Zhenguan Dynasty. The themes are almost the same. Isn't this a typical waste of resources? They can be integrated together. "
Chen Linfeng saw it. On the table, there happened to be half of the sesame seed cakes that he and Chen Shantong had torn apart.
For example, "Just like this sesame seed pancake, he gives half and I give half, and the total is a whole pancake."
Fang Hua said hesitantly, "You mean Huayang TV and China Film Studio are working together to produce a drama?"
He immediately thought of the problem and shook his head, "Then who makes the final decision on this drama? They are all big units. If it’s unpleasant, it’s not appropriate.”
