Chapter 174: The Sun is at its peak
But this kind of thing cannot be said to be a bad thing.
Sister Mei advised, "These public opinions may be the propaganda strategy of the Forum Society. Xiaofeng, you should not pay too much attention to it."
Chen Linfeng thought for a while, maybe it is really possible. .
For Forum Club to work so hard this time, it is natural that they have seen the benefits.
Chen Linfeng previously agreed to adapt "Destiny" into an animated version, which was completed and broadcast last year.
As a result, no one expected that the compatibility between KyoAni and the work was unexpectedly good.
BD sales exceeded 80,000 copies in one fell swoop, and the data is still rising slowly. This is about to enter the top three levels in history.
Otakus in the anime circle are simply going crazy. The combination of KyoAni’s exquisite paintings and Kirin-sensei’s wonderful stories is the ultimate aesthetic enjoyment.
When the animation of the season was broadcast, it once occupied most of the pages of most animation news at that time.
As a result, the sales of physical novels in the "Destiny" series surged by 2 million year-on-year within half a year, and the subsequent momentum has not diminished at all.
In terms of animation, it subsequently won the Agency for Cultural Affairs Award, the Kobe Animation Award, and the Tokyo Animation Grand Prize, the three neon animation awards.
It can be said that sales and reputation are all achieved.
Chen Linfeng’s fame and influence in the neon acg field are at its peak.
Not only does it have a huge fan base, but it also has huge book fans and animation fans.
In this case, not to mention the income brought by BD sales, copyright sales and licensing, toys, clothing, games and other peripheral derivative income, it is a huge number, and it is very long-lasting.
What’s particularly important is that currently only 24 episodes of the season of “The Beginning of Destiny” have been produced. Depending on the setting, there will be countless side stories and different world lines.
This is a big pie, and the Pulpit Society does not want to cause any problems in the cooperative relationship with this person for any possible reason.
Not only that, Chen Linfeng's other works also have the potential to be animated, such as "Book of Life and Death" and "Infinite World".
Of course there is another factor, which is Noma’s support within the company.
He has now reached the position of editor-in-chief. If he wants to move up the ladder, he cannot just focus on publishing literary works.
His background can certainly guarantee his position in Kodansha. As long as he has the qualifications, he can climb up step by step.
However, since he has climbed to the position of editor-in-chief at such a young age, who wouldn’t want to take a step further to get a glimpse of the big position.
The relationship with Chen Linfeng can still play a role in this process.
Teacher Qilin’s international influence is increasing day by day. As a discoverer, he takes this as an opportunity to spread his name to some people’s ears more easily.
In addition, his works have great potential in copyright operations, which is also a part of showing his operational capabilities.
This does not mean that you cannot demonstrate your ability by operating other works. There is a question of attention here.
Take the historical and animation work EVA as an example. From the director to the animation production committee to all aspects behind the scenes, people pay attention to it. Even years later, some people will talk about it as insider news.
But if it were an unknown work, no one would care about its development history.
Teacher Kirin’s works have the ability to attract attention. The reason why Noma successfully took over as editor-in-chief was because of his contribution in the animation process of "The Beginning of Destiny" and was noticed by the superiors. .
Noma sometimes had to lament that he was lucky enough to meet Kirin-sensei.
At this time, he recalled the first time he met Chen Linfeng.
Although he can no longer remember exactly, he still remembers the scene of meeting with Teacher Qi Lin one by one at the three publishing houses, just like interviews.
You worked really hard, Noma. In the battlefield with thousands of troops, you captured Teacher Qilin. This is undoubtedly your credit.
Noma thought so and told others in the company the same.
If I hadn't been so wise and powerful in those days and snatched Qilin Teacher away from other publishing houses, we would have been watching others eat meat.
Of course, other people within Kodansha will definitely be dissatisfied.
Isn’t it just a matter of bad luck that I met a golden thigh? If I had been there at the time, I would definitely have been able to negotiate.
Only Noma's status and background are high enough, so no one can take the credit for this.
The staff who negotiated with Noma at that time had long been replaced by other people with status through underground transactions and historical records. ……
As a result of various factors, although Chen Linfeng's publication speed is getting slower and slower, Kodansha values him more.
Chen Linfeng participated in two days of regular media promotion and interviews.
When reporters asked whether he was confident of winning the Akutagawa Prize, he did not hesitate to express his confidence.
“I think my work deserves this award. As for who the award will actually be given to, it depends on the organizer’s intention.”
Different from the humility of other similar candidate authors, Chen Linfeng showed a completely different attitude.
This is also Chen Linfeng’s consistent character design in Neon.
Humble and confident.
This is the Neon Man’s first impression of him.
Maybe it was because when Chen Linfeng faced them for the first time, he had a feeling of looking down on them, which unknowingly manifested itself in the communication.
But because of his behavior and speech, he remained polite and humble enough, so he gave the neon public this impression.
Unexpectedly, the Neon people disliked his attitude. They felt that China was indeed a big country and there were always some elites coming out. This was also in line with their stereotype of some macho men from China.
Chen Linfeng realized that Neon people liked this, so he let nature take its course, and slowly it became such a character.
Speaking of which, Neon hates people who stand out or are not in line with the crowd in their own country.
But for foreigners, they prefer tough and confident types.
Chen Linfeng in Neon has such an image.
As the award ceremony approaches, Chen Linfeng specially changed his look.
Different from his previous sunny and casual style, this time he wore a business casual outfit.
Because of the weather in February, he added a long windbreaker outside.
Chen Linfeng is tall enough and has long legs, which shows that his overall figure is slender and stylish.
Coupled with gold-rimmed glasses and Chen Linfeng's pretending to be serious, he is simply a model of abstinence.
The point is more than that. This is the first time Chen Linfeng has formally applied modern makeup.
In the past, filming was all about costumes. TV dramas in this era generally don’t make the characters too white and tender, so the feeling is not very obvious.
Now that I have changed my clothes and put on makeup, it is a bit overwhelming for others.
The young lady wearing makeup looked at him with watery eyes. She just left her phone number and offered herself a pillow seat.
Sister Mei couldn't help but blush slightly when she looked at his outfit.
This kid is really getting more and more handsome as he grows older. I didn’t pay much attention to him every day, but now he has changed his body shape and looks too handsome.
Fortunately, Sissi’s beauty level is also high enough, let’s let the two seduce each other.
I don’t know if it’s because the appearance will gradually change with the inner soul.
Chen Linfeng's appearance in this life began to bear some characteristics of his previous life. After the two aspects merged, his appearance clearly exceeded the genetic limitations of the Chen family.
Especially due to his own experience, his temperament is also different from ordinary people. He has the elegance of a scholar and the confidence of a time traveler, with a sense of mystery, making him more and more extraordinary.
Noma was waiting outside. When Chen Linfeng came out, he couldn't help but be surprised at how he could be more handsome.
The award ceremony of the Akutagawa Prize and the Naoki Prize are held together, and both are hosted by Bungeishunqiu.
These two awards are both one of the three major Neon literary awards, but the Akutagawa Award focuses more on newcomers and literature.
The Naoki Prize is more focused on mature writers and popular literature. Originally, this prize was most suitable for Chen Linfeng, but the prize is not given to foreigners, so the Akutagawa Prize is more suitable.
Chen Linfeng and Sister Mei were led into the venue by Noma.
