Chapter 25 Sifang Yundong

On November 16, the day after the press conference, major media across the country used headlines to report that Wanbang Film and Television Company began to prepare for the production of the 30 million martial arts giant Demi-Gods and Dragons, and the 16-year-old Meng Nanxing, the author of the book, will be the director.

The media reporters who attended the press conference yesterday were originally not energetic, but it was really because Wanbang Film and Television Company was not well-known in the entertainment industry. Most of the people who were sent here were not valued by the company. Before the press conference, they still had a headache about how to write manuscripts at night. Unexpectedly, Wanbang Company threw such a blockbuster, which shocked everyone at once.

In this era of eye-catching economy and entertainment, what the media wants is hot news, and people are also concerned about controversial topics. The more powerful and controversial it is, the more exposed it will be. The investment of 100 million is hot, but there is no dispute. Moreover, there is 170 million in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which naturally does not feel strange.

30 million investment, martial arts masterpiece, 16-year-old new director, high school student genius writer. Together, these words are not simply one plus one plus one again and again, but produce an explosive sensation from quantitative change to qualitative change.

The media across the country are boiling. On the 13th, Shengxin Company announced that it will join hands with CCTV to invest 100 million yuan to shoot the topic of Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The public is concerned about the news in the entertainment section. Now there is a more exciting one. With the momentum of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the Eight Dragons and Meng Nanxing's News instantly flooded the pages of major domestic media.

"There is no lower limit to supporting people, 16-year-old directors are too ridiculous": "In this impetuous era, in the pompous world, we are used to receiving all kinds of controversial and eye-catching topic information every day, so that we all have a certain immunity. But when the reporter of our newspaper sent a manuscript of a 16-year-old high school student as a director, the editor found that he could not calm down in an instant. I have been active in the entertainment industry for many years. I have seen too many strange news, seen stars, never heard of directors, and never heard of 16-year-old high school students as directors. For Wanbang Film and Television Company, the editor doubts whether they made an April Fool's Day joke in advance. Unfortunately, this is not a joke, but it is much more ridiculous than any joke I have heard... - Chutian Daily

The Southern New Evening News completely denied Meng Nanxing under the title of the strange situation of the TV series market, and high school students also come to be directors.

The Songjiang People's Daily, a newspaper in his hometown, seems to be more humane. It published an article "TV Series Investment: Game Dangerous, Approaching Cautly". Although it also talked about Meng Nanxing, it is more about analyzing the investment in the TV series market in the past two years.

The Northeast Evening News is the main battlefield of Meng Nanxing, and naturally goes all out to support it. Wu Weizhong, the editor-in-chief, went to the battlefield shirtless and personally wrote an article praising Meng Nanxing, "If you are not afraid of floating clouds, how can a genius walk the way of mortals?" Since Meng Nanxing's debut, "Days of Living with Stewardess" has created a "pure love stream", selling 100,000 copies in four days and selling more than 600,000 copies; "Tianlong Eight" has opened a new martial arts and successfully achieved a daily update of 10,000 words; since the serialization of "Tianlong Eight" has the circulation of "Northeast Evening News" has changed from 110 in the previous 110 10,000 copies, up to 1.58 million now.

In the face of such achievements, the age problem has become pale and weak. As the saying goes, ambition is not old, and ambition is empty. Meng Nanxing obviously did not walk the path of mortals, and naturally he was not understood by mortals...

The Huaxia Daily published a commentator's article "Nearly 80% of TV drama investment has failed, and it takes reason to get involved in the film and television industry", objectively analyzed the current situation of the TV series market, and finally expressed concern about Meng Nanxing as a director.

In Bincheng, in the office of Wanbang Film and Television Company, Song Siwei looked at a newspaper and said to himself with a smile, "Oh, it would be great if this Duo only wore a director's name and did not participate in the production. How much advertising expenses would I save!"

In the office of Shengxin Film and Television Company, Wang Cheng, who had just arrived from the capital, blushed angrily. He punched Dai Anmin's desk and shouted, "It's really unreasonable. This Meng Nanxing is just a high school student. What ability can he be a director! Are the people in Wanbang Company crazy?

Wang Cheng is so angry, but it's a long story. When Meng Nanxing debuted with Days of Living with a Stewardess, Wang Cheng was still very disdainful. But when "The Eight Dragons" is serialized, especially when the daily update of ten thousand words, even Wang Cheng feels great pressure.

It's really because he can't read a thousand words every day. Within ten days, the sales of the Beijing Evening News fell by 100,000 copies. Wang Cheng ignored the letters from countless readers asking for further update. Some readers wrote that his Romance of the Later Three Kingdoms is a rare good book in 50 years, but readers don't plan to read his serials anymore, and they are too worried to wait every day. He would rather read Meng Nanxing's ten thousand words, not to mention that the quality of Demi-Devils is no worse than that of Romance of the Later Three Kingdoms. This letter almost vomited blood angrily, and he also deeply hated Meng Nanxing in his heart.

In the end, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper came forward in person and persuaded Wang Cheng to be fruitless. After that, he invited Cao Jin'an, a disciple of Wang Ji, the saint of Sinology, the only remaining master, to be a lobbyist. No matter how wild and unruly Wang Cheng is, he can't help but give face to his uncle. He finally broke the precept of a thousand words a day.

Wang Cheng is *unruly, good wine and color. It is rumored that he only read a thousand words a day when he debuted, because he needed more time to drink and have fun with his friends. Although it is impossible to prove the authenticity of the rumor, when everyone believes the rumor, it is true. Now under the pressure of Meng Nanxing, Wang Cheng has changed from 1,000 to 3,000 a day. Although it is not very difficult for him to write 3,000 words of classical Chinese, Meng Nanxing's vow that has been circulating for ten years is broken. How can he not hate it?

Three thousand days after the daily update, the sales volume of the Beijing Evening News once rose, but it still did not return to its peak, and there was a downward trend. Wang Cheng had no choice but to sell the film and television adaptation rights of Romance of the Three Kingdoms that he originally wanted to shoot in the future.

After the news came out, the sales of "Beijing Evening News" rose by several percentage points in an instant. Unexpectedly, two days later, the more powerful news came that the sales of "Beijing Evening News" stopped abruptly.

Looking at the angry Wang Cheng, Dai Anmin couldn't help thinking of Zhang Duo, who was always calm in front of him, and thought to himself that he was also a talented person, but the personality gap was so big.

Dai Anmin picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile, "Brother Wang, don't be impatient. Meng Nanxing is just a kind of children on campus. He is a plain speaker. How can he compare with Brother Wang, who has a deep knowledge of family learning and profound Chinese studies? This time, Brother Wang personally wrote and adapted it, and I believe that the ratings of Romance of the Three Kingdoms will dominate CCTV. It's just that public opinion is currently hyping up the news of Meng Nanxing. Let's slowly reveal the news about Brother Wang as a screenwriter!"

"What, do you mean I want to avoid the sharpness of Meng Nanxing?" Wang Cheng said angrily to the world. At the beginning of the press conference, he did not disclose the personal adaptation of Wang Cheng, but wanted to hype it for a period of time. Now that Wang Cheng wants to release the news in advance, Dai Anmin naturally refuses.

Wang Cheng only felt that he had been humiliated and really wanted to throw the teacup on the ground. But he looked at Dai Anmin's calm eyes, but he couldn't fall down. Dai Anmin is not an easy person to get together with. Let's put aside his family background. He founded Shengxin Film and Television Company in college and became a first-class production company in China in four years. How can his int tricks be compared with him as a scholar? When Wang Cheng saw Dai Anmin for the first time, he felt that this person was unfathomable and felt the chill in the other party's eyes. After all, he just put the cup on the table and brushed his sleeves away.

When various media scrambled to report the news of Meng Nanxing as the director, Jin Yu's cousin and Zhang Duo drove to the foot of a mountain in Changbai Mountain. This was a stronghold of a forest ranger they heard about. They had gone to two strongholds in a row, but they said they did not know Ji Liancheng. However, considering that the Changbai Mountain forest area is so big and there are many forest farms, it is normal not to know each other. When the three came to the stronghold, they saw that there were only three bungalows of about 100 square meters. The three entered the middle room and found only a middle-aged man on duty.

Jin Yutang explained his intention, and the man rubbed his hands and said, "Oh, that's not a coincidence. Liancheng went up the mountain. I don't know when we will come back. We usually stay up the mountain for one night at most. Liancheng may not. Sometimes it takes two or three days to come back! You guys wait here!"

Although the three were a little disappointed, Fortunately, they already knew the whereabouts of Ji Liancheng and were not so anxious. The three sat in the room and said to the man that they wanted to walk around after drinking some water. The man told them not to go up the mountain. There were wild boars and black bears on the mountain, as well as traps for thieves, which was very dangerous.

The three people deserved well. They walked around the stronghold and went to the mountain. In fact, it is already the twelfth month of winter. The grass is decaying outside the plug, and there is really no scenery in the forest. It's just that Jinyu's cousins have been in the city for a long time and are somewhat curious about the forest area. In addition, they are skilled and bold, so they still walk to the mountains with great interest.

The three of them wandered freely in the forest area. Suddenly, a big man came from the front. The man shouted, as if there was a thunder in the clear sky: "Who dares to rush in this deep mountain forest, is not afraid of encountering tigers and beasts?"

Zhang Duo looked up, but saw that the body of life was burly, with long hands and feet, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his eyes were like electricity. If he was born in the Three Kingdoms, it must be Lv Fengxian, who was proud of the heroes of the world in front of the tiger prison; if he was born in Tang Dynasty, he would step on both sides of the Yellow River and beat Qin Shubao from one hundred and eight counties in six prefectures. It is majestic, like a god descending to the earth.

Jin Yutang was first shocked by the roar of the big man, and then praised, "What a Shandong big man, really..."

I didn't want Zhang Duo to say something later: "Domineering...qi...side...leak!"
