Chapter 407 The way out or the end of martial arts novels
The peak battle between the two super movies not only satisfies the audience's gossip and also completely revitalizes the film market in May. Driven by the two carriages of "Ha" and "Planet", the box office contributed by this awkward period not only hit the highest level in the same period in previous years, but even surpassed the summer season in previous years.
Starting from this early summer, Liu Jingting has added the title of "box office elixir" in addition to the two titles "publication guarantee" and "viewing guarantee".
In this environment where the market economy is erupting and almost abnormally growing, it is not an exaggeration to evaluate Liu Jingting's "turning stones into gold".
Eleven days after the release of "Harry Potter", the box office has reached 100 million US dollars. In the history of Chinese films, there are two "100 million" representing two important development nodes in the domestic film market. The first is "100 million yuan" box office, the so-called "box office exceeds 100 million yuan".
The second one is "100 million US dollars".
Although the box office gap between Planet and Harry Potter is gradually narrowing in North America, the outcome of this war is basically no longer suspenseful.
Moreover, as long as there are no major mistakes in the subsequent series of stories, this "magic fever" will gather into a surging current with a more surging momentum. As for how far it will eventually reach, it is unpredictable.
Liu Jingting won.
At this time, everyone saw this trend. Because the result was so obvious, the media became distracted by the war.
The performance of "Age of Planets" is not bad. Although many viewers criticized Bluetus for his self-repeatment, the visual experience of the works under the more advanced film industry is still qualitatively improved.
This is the confidence of Bluetus, and this is also the despair of Bluetus.
As long as it is confirmed that Liu Jingting can also play movies, this bet will be meaningless, because he has won a game first in the novel sales competition. Even if the movie box office battle "Harry Potter" ultimately fails, Bluetus is not easy to show off, but it just slightly regained his "King of Movie Novels".
The ideal ending is that "Ha" completely failed, and "Planet" broke the box office record of "Extra-Time and Space". But a pity.
In a talk show in the United States on May 25, Bluetus kissed the donkey buttocks in front of audiences all over the world. With the host's intentional teasing, he generously admitted defeat.
The "Battle of Liu Lan" that has lasted for several years has finally come to a successful end.
After Liu Jingting received the news, he smiled and said to his colleagues: "I told him to make him lose." In the interview, he was serious and said modestly: "Actually everyone understands that this is a means of publicity. After the whole thing, I think the entertainment spirit and confidence of Americans are more worthy of our care."
The high posture is always posed by the winner.
...
"Then it's Zheng Yu."
When everyone Xiaoqing won, Xu Qing said with a sense of superiority that the heroic spirit that each defeated was very addictive.
"He is much weaker than Bluetus." Chang Youdao blurted out, then fell into deep thought and continued to sigh: "I still remember the scene when Lao Liu invited us to watch "The War of Time and Space". At that time, we talked about Bluetus and were indignant. I said at that time that Lao Liu could write a novel adaptation movie in the future and teach Bluetus a lesson. I didn't expect that now the wish is true. It's not me who flattered me. Since joining the team with Lao Liu, I have not only experienced many miraculous events, but also witnessed many impossible things that could become possible under his hands."
"Aren't you afraid of a god-like opponent, because we have super god-like teammates?" Wang Jianshan continued.
Kang Lingyue teased: "The boss is in Huaying now. It's useless for you to speak so loudly. It's better to leave a message in the group and take screenshots."
Everyone laughed happily, and the office atmosphere became even more cheerful. Qingjiao suddenly said: "I saw a math problem on the Internet that is known as Nangang Kindergarten. I'll post to everyone in the group to solve it."
"Fafa, although I like literature, I will not hide it from everyone. My math talent is also very high." Chang Youdao said shamelessly.
Green Pepper then posted a string of strange equations in the group:
Known: 1111=02845=27362=14444=02806=42733=06083=49354=12110=1
Q: 2889=?
"?"
"?"
"?"
Yang Lilu, Kang Lingyue, Su Jin and others all asked seriously, and Chang Youdao said confidently: "Just just a simple mathematical logic problem, look at me, I will give you the answer in ten minutes."
...
While his editors were brainstorming a kindergarten math problem with nothing to do, Liu Jingting was in a camp with Weigang at Huaying Base Camp with a hidden murderous intent.
"The buyout price will be adjusted conditionally according to the performance of the movie, which is written in the contract." Liu Jingting introduced.
Wei Gang nodded and said, "This is reasonable. Can the specific 'conditions' be disclosed?"
Liu Jingting spread his hands and said, "This involves commercial secrets. Before the negotiations reach a unified state, it is illegal for me to say it. Your company will definitely not be at ease to cooperate with a person who is full of train running."
In fact, Xingyue and Liu Jingting had insufficient bargaining chips for negotiations with Huaying. Compared to the limited secret terms on the contract, Gong Yuanhe is more willing to believe that Liu Jingting himself, who had defeated Shi Wei.
Coercion and inducement, sticks and radish are useless to Liu Jingting. One is not short of money, two is not afraid of trouble, three is there people on him, and the "meal in the capital" is still popular among the people.
Other techniques, such as the more popular beauty trick, are even more unreliable, because the background of Liu Jingting’s girlfriend has been spread in some small circles, so who dares to play with him easily?
Gong Yuanhe trusted Liu Jingting to solve this problem successfully, and he also knew deeply that this matter would strengthen Liu Jingting's determination to be the first door.
No matter which industry he is involved in now, who can treat him as a gun?
Of course, Wei Gang had read Liu Jingting's various materials carefully for a long time, and he was not prepared to use any means. After all, doing business is ultimately about harmony and wealth.
"Mr. Liu is so happy, I no longer go around the corner. Our sincerity in cooperation is 12% and it is said that several other companies are also pestering Xingyue. From a long-term perspective, we are now in aligned with each other. The question now is, will the United States take other thoughts after we enter?"
“There is no doubt about this.”
Wei Gang smiled and said, "So we can't let the Americans make our money for nothing, right?"
"agree."
"Which way do Mr. Liu thinks we are more appropriate in cooperation?"
Liu Jingting thought for a while and said, "There will be a Chinese girl in the third part of the novel. This character will also be officially released in the fourth movie. He is Harry Potter's first love girlfriend. As far as I know, your company has just signed the young actor Zhang Ying?"
In fact, in the original novel, Qiu Zhang's ethnic group was not explained, but based on the name, it was speculated that it was Han or Korean. However, in the later film production, a Chinese girl finally won the role.
In fact, with the booming development of China's economy, the domestic market is increasingly valued by other countries. Whether in the literary and artistic industries or the sports fields, Chinese elements are becoming more and more eye-catching.
Wei Gang's eyes lit up when he heard this and he smiled and said, "Yes, Mr. Liu means..." Wei Gang had actually vaguely guessed Liu Jingting's intention.
"This is the breakthrough point in cooperation."
Wei Gang nodded, then fell into deep thought. After half a minute, he said, "This needs to be confirmed with Hollywood in advance. The timeline is too long and there are too many uncertain factors."
Liu Jingting said lightly: "I decided on Harry Potter and Hermione, there is no problem with this."
"Is the fourth movie?" Wei Gang repeated it as if he was talking to himself, then frowned and said, "No, what about the two or three movies like this? Mr. Liu should not scare me again at this time."
"Since it's an actor's collaboration, of course it doesn't have to be so abrupt. I think the cooperation between Xingyue and Huaying can officially begin now. For example, Xingyue's next filming of "Journey to the West" is planned, requires strong collaborators."
Wei Gang finally fully understood Liu Jingting's idea. He hoped that all this cooperation would take a roundabout way, and Huaying would participate in the secret name and become the thorough behind the scenes.
Wei Gang sighed and shook his head slightly.
After Huaying left, Liu Jingting sent a text message to Gong Chengpin: "The negotiation failed, start the plan."
It is impossible for Huaying to participate in the release of any movie in anonymous way, and Liu Jingting just made a confirmation.
No team can do whatever they want when they reach a certain scale. This time he can't break up with Wei Gang like Shi Wei, because he is on behalf of Xingyue to negotiate.
So, it's time to leave again, and he needs to do everything else freely like he runs Jianglu.
...
When Liu Jingting returned to Yingri Building, he saw Chang Youdao being spitting with everyone to analyze what problem: "From 1111=0 and 4444=0, 1=0 and 4=0 can be derived. Similarly, 2733=0, then 2, 3, 7 are also equal to 0, that is, 1, 2, 3, 4, 7 are all equal to 0.
Then look at the equation 2110=1. Both 1 and 2 know that it is equal to 0 and can be eliminated. Then this equation can deduce 0=1. The same principle is. Since the equation 2 and 4 are equal to 0, it can be simplified to 85=2. The same applies to the others, 6=1, 86=3, 95=1.
Then substitute it again and you can get 8=2,5=0,9=1. According to the previous 2=0, you can finally get 2889=0+2+2+1=5!"
Chang Youdao is full of confidence, just like a mathematician's style explaining his derivation to everyone, but since his final answer is correct, even Green Pepper doesn't know how to question it.
"Xiao Chang does have a trick," Xu Qing praised.
"In fact, it is a problem of thinking inertia. As long as we can treat the numbers before the equation as some symbol and then use simple logical reasoning, it is not difficult to get this answer. I was good at this when I was a child, or we can list a simple one-element equation." Chang Youdao said proudly.
"What are you talking about?" Liu Jingting was confused when he heard this, and finally couldn't help asking.
When everyone saw Liu Jingting, they first said hello, and then Qingjiao told him about the topic. Liu Jingting looked at several sets of equations for a while, and had a faint impression of similar questions in his mind. He pointed to the computer screen and said, "Is it just a circle?"
Chang Youdaobu said: "No, it's just a simple logical analysis problem. I have solved it, and it only took half an hour."
Liu Jingting said: "Is the answer equal to 5?"
"Yes, Lao Liu, you heard it just now?"
"Don't listen, 1111 has no circles, so it is equal to 0. There is only one circle in "6" in 7362, so it is equal to 1. Similarly, 2889, there is no circle in 2, 8 two circles, 9 one circle, and the addition of 5 circles."
Everyone in the office immediately read the question again, then compared it with Liu Jingting's words, and found that it was true. Then everyone looked at the math master Chang Youdao. The latter was looking at the screen with pig blood on his face.
"Where is the one-center equation of mathematical logic that has been said to be a one-center equation? Ma Dan is just a circle of numbers?"
There are often complaints, which makes the office burst into laughter.
...
The box office battle with Bluetus has settled, and the related topics have gradually subsided. Instead, the "new" martial arts novel "Seven Weapons" that was popularly serialized on "The Great Rivers".
This series of martial arts with unique form and unique intentions attracted the attention of some readers and martial arts commentators at the beginning of the serialization. Now that "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has entered a low-key shooting period, the hot discussion of "Harry Potter" has gradually stabilized, and the discussion on the "Seven Weapons" has finally begun to occupy the page on a large scale.
The discussions on content mostly revolve around several protagonists with unique personalities.
In "The Sword of Eternal Life", Bai Yujing uses Li Bai's poem to determine the spirit of the wind, and "Bai Yujing in the Sky" leaves a very deep impression on readers;
In "Peacock Feather", Gao Li's ending is certainly sad. The relationship between him and the "beauty" is the arrow that really hits the readers' bull's eye. It can write the core of "Loving someone is loving her soul" so heart-stirring. The beauties with the wrong facial features do indeed show the cute charm of the beauty in the end;
"Jade Sword" is a relaxed comedy, telling a beautiful story that is a coincidence. The heroine uses another identity to examine her fiancé whom she has never met. In the end, the two fell in love with each other. In order to keep her promise, the hero finally decided to go to her fiancee's house to send an engagement gift, and finally "get rid of" the heroine. Finally, the honest hero found that the heroine was her fiancée.
The exquisite conception and reunion of this story all make readers smile. However, the details that really make readers excited are still the heroine's words "I'm jealous". Her fiancé fell in love with another woman she pretended to be, and she was still jealous. This kind of mentality description makes people amazed.
The three stories in the first three have their own strengths and fans. Gu Yongsheng's skill in writing martial arts is still beyond the reach of others. However, does this deliberate pursuit of change mean that the martial arts novel has come to an end?
"After The Legend of the Condor Heroes, the pattern and spirit of martial arts novels were written to the extreme. After "Chu Liuxiang" and "Lu Xiaofeng", the strange path seemed to have ended. "The Divine Condor Heroes" was still wonderful, and "Seven Weapons" were more novel. However, objectively speaking, these works can only be works at most at level. Although it can be seen that the author is working hard, it is difficult to make any breakthrough.
It is not that you are demanding that you beg for the ancient mediocre students, but that you almost built the overall world view of modern martial arts with one person. The author lamented that it was just a little regretful about this category, and its decline was inevitable, and the end was right in front of you. It was also a fixed law of literary development, and it was just a decline in prosperity."
This argument from professional commentators has gradually become a mainstream concept. Everyone has no complaints about the hero Gu Yongsheng, and his words are full of praise and awe. He highly praised his enterprising spirit and constantly exploring. Some of the remarks that some people questioned that Gu Yongsheng's literary creation career would come to an end did not attract any attention.
"It's not that Gu Yongsheng and martial arts writers are powerless, but that the peak appears too early, and Tang poetry and Song lyrics only prosper for one dynasty and one generation. The development of literary rules is not the fault of one person and one force. However, it can be concluded that no matter how many years later, the three words "Gu Yongsheng" in the literary world cannot be avoided, and are definitely the most shining, which is enough."
...
"It seems we will write "The Legend of the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" as soon as possible."
