Chapter 169: Joint Reconciliation
Shi Xiaolong glanced at him suspiciously and was about to speak.
At this time, Sister Mei opened the door and came in. She had the key to the house and used to help feed the cats when Chen Linfeng was away.
Sister Mei often visits Emily Kendall recently to negotiate with Pixar, and is still working out the terms.
Seeing her come back early this time, Chen Linfeng asked, "Sister Mei, why did you come back early?"
Sister Mei closed the door, changed her shoes, and said, "Pixar has already made some moves and said that they need to think about it. After a while, they will have Christmas vacation, so I will come back early."
She ran to In the kitchen, I poured myself a cup of hot tea and sat on the sofa.
First he took a sip to warm himself up, and then said, "When I come back this time, there is one more thing I want to do, which is to talk about something about "Her"."
This book is not only It was released domestically, and of course it was also translated and sold abroad.
Among them, its popularity in Europe and the United States is, predictably, relatively average.
But in Neon, it's different.
Many of the problems described in the book are more in line with the psychological state of Neon people.
Although there are some cultural differences, the male protagonist cannot bear the heavy pressure of society (most of them do not understand such things as information cocoon rooms), so he chooses to escape social interaction and fall in love with artificial intelligence. It is perfect. It is in line with the public’s perception of Heisei abandoned houses.
Neon Media called it, "a heavy blow to the hearts of young people in Neon."
Literary critics even praised the novel.
"Her" doesn't even have such an exaggerated momentum in China. How to describe it specifically.
Sister Mei said directly, "Now Kodansha is building momentum and wants to try to compete in next year's Akutagawa Prize. Listening to Noma, the hope is not small."
Chen Linfeng couldn't help but Asked, "Isn't the Akutagawa Prize an award specifically for newcomers?"
Sister Mei's expression was more complicated, "This so-called newcomer does not have a very clear definition of the specific concept. Do you think that one who is less than 18 years old "The author of the novel, is he considered a newcomer?"
"This." Chen Linfeng couldn't hold it back. Can it be interpreted this way?
"Not only Neon, but also the domestic Writers' Federation is taking action. They want to invite you to officially join the Writers' Alliance."
In fact, this matter has been discussed a few years ago.
Chen Linfeng, an international best-selling author, is still not a co-author. Isn’t this a joke to outsiders?
However, due to the unhappiness in his early years, Chen Linfeng never took the initiative to apply to join the Writers' Association, and the Writers' Alliance was not in a hurry to invite others to join.
This time, Chen Linfeng wrote a less popular work, which was highly recognized by most, whether it was literary critics or other writers.
Zuolian felt that he couldn't delay it any longer. Xiao Chen had no intention of bowing his head. If he didn't take advantage of the opportunity to show his kindness, it would become more and more ugly the further back he went.
Chen Linfeng had no objection to this. Since the other party extended an olive branch, he accepted it. After all, what happened in the first place can only be regarded as the work of a few individuals in the alliance, and cannot be generalized to the entire organization.
The day after receiving the news from Chen Linfeng, Zuolian rushed to the door and discussed in detail with Chen Linfeng the next matter of applying for membership.
The Coordinators no longer hesitated, and directly stated that they could take the initiative to issue a statement. It was the Cooperative Cooperatives' initiative to invite, and Chen Linfeng readily accepted it.
Then hold an initiation ceremony to express that everyone has been admiring each other for a long time and hit it off immediately.
Chen Linfeng thought to himself, this is quite a lot.
But the other party gave me face, so I didn’t care about anything.
A week later, the Writers' Association held an induction ceremony, and Chen Linfeng attended on time.
The leaders of the alliance were all smiles and they had recruited another general. No one would gossip anymore.
Chen Linfeng is also laughing. If he releases a new book in the future, there will be less people criticizing him, which is not bad.
The reporter then interviewed, but one reporter asked a completely unrelated question.
"Excuse me, what do you think of Chen Kaige's new movie "The Promise"?" Chen Linfeng's smile solidified.
No, during this period, he has tried his best to avoid being interviewed by the media. He also thought that the reporters working together would not have anything to do with the entertainment industry.
Are your feelings connected?
Director Chen's films can no longer maintain their reputation.
Although there was no such masterpiece as "A Murderous Case Caused by a Steamed Bun" at this time, Chen Kaige's "The Promise" dominated the entire schedule, which was too offending.
When a movie is of poor quality, its reputation deteriorates very quickly.
The media seemed to have found the traffic password, and they were looking for people in the entertainment industry to comment on Director Chen's "The Promise".
When Chen Linfeng encountered this problem, he could only think about it, "The picture is quite good, with the usual level of director Chen Kaige."
"What do you think of the plot?"
"I sat in the cinema and watched it."
"His!" This writer Xiao Chen is a master of Tai Chi.
The reporter continued to ask, "I mean, what do you think of the plot of the movie "The Promise"?"
"I think director Chen Kaige should be very profound. As a newcomer, I The director couldn’t understand it, but he was shocked.”
The reporter was still waiting for the follow-up words, but after waiting for a while, he found that there was no follow-up.
"Is that gone?"
Chen Linfeng said seriously, "Yes, the above is my complete opinion on the movie "The Promise", thank you, next one."
Except for this cross-border reporter, the others are still reliable and the questions they ask are all related to literary works.
For example, a reporter asked him what he thought of today’s online novels.
This kind of question is more relevant.
Chen Linfeng replied, "I think publishing novels online is a future trend. I quite like some works, such as last year's "New Song" and "The Dragon Crossing the River", and this year's " "Starting from Scratch" and "The Best Son", I quite like it. "
Today's reporter's interview was subsequently reported and posted online, causing a lot of discussion among netizens.
“Does Xiao Chen think Director Chen’s movie is good or bad? Why can’t I understand it?”
“It’s okay if I can’t understand it, and neither can Xiao Chen. Understand, it can only mean that I am shocked.”
"I can't understand, but I was shocked.jpg."
On that day, someone made a gif of the video of Chen Linfeng saying this and spread it in various forums. It almost became a mockery of Director Chen's movie The best picture to use.
Fortunately, this picture is not as popular as "Steamed Buns". People like Chen Kaige who do not surf the Internet should not know about it.
In addition, Chen Linfeng mentioned some online articles in an interview with another reporter, which also attracted the attention of many of his fans.
I asked you why you are so slow to write a new book. It turns out that you secretly read other online articles.
Immediately, many netizens denounced him and ordered him to quickly correct himself and stop writing online.
Of course, there are also many good people who actually read these online novels mentioned, and then quickly became addicted to them and became a miserable person chasing updates.
At this time, the script of "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" was almost completed, or in other words, the first two stories had been basically written, and the subsequent stories also had an overall framework.
You can directly start a series of formal preparations such as auditions and location selection.
Chen Shantong went to him directly and asked for his opinion.
