Chapter Forty-Six: The Sensation Caused by the New Book
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Li Ping'an began to prepare his new album after paying tribute to Shao Yifu after the New Year. Although China looked north, China in 1976 was really stormy, but even if Li Ping'an had great ability, he could not turn things around, so he could only find something to kill the depression in his heart.
Hearing that Li Ping'an was going to take the initiative to produce a new album, Polygram almost didn't shout long live from top to bottom, and it is said that Mr. President also went to the church to pray. The reason why this is the case is that Li Ping'an is too difficult to serve, he doesn't hold concerts, doesn't go on TV, doesn't accept interviews, doesn't hold book signings, in short, as long as the album is produced, the rest can't stand Li Ping'an.
If Li Ping'an only has musical talent, if Li Ping'an is just an ordinary person, Polygram managers will have thousands of ways to make Li Ping'an comply, the key is that Li Ping'an is not easy to provoke in terms of wealth and power, and Li Ping'an himself is still the largest individual shareholder of Polygram, so Polygram's managers can only coax to come.
Shi Nansheng, the president of Xiangjiang Daily, approached Fang Menghua, hoping that Fang Menghua could persuade Li Ping'an to serialize a new novel in Xiangjiang Daily to boost the newspaper's sales. Now Heung Kong Daily is facing competition from many newspapers such as "Ming Pao", "Oriental Daily", and "Sing Tao Daily".
Shi Nansheng is a subordinate that Fang Menghua particularly values, so after listening to her statement, he immediately said that he would persuade Li Ping'an to write a Chinese novel.
If Shi Nansheng himself directly approached Li Ping'an, Li Ping'an would definitely refuse, but Shi Nansheng was very smart, she directly asked Fang Menghua for instructions, which made Li Ping'an embarrassed, he couldn't refuse his mother.
Logically speaking, since Li Ping'an can plagiarize foreign literary works, it is not impossible to plagiarize a few copies of his own country, does Li Ping'an feel that he will have a troubled conscience if he writes popular novels in advance of later generations? The answer is of course not, for Li Ping'an, what is the skin, and can conscience be used as food?
The reason is very simple, many Chinese novels are really ahead of their time if they appear now, you must know that those works in Li Pingan's memory have become popular with the arrival of the Internet age.
After picking and choosing for a long time, Li Ping'an finally took out two novels and serialized them in "Xiangjiang Daily", these two novels are "Xun Qinji" in the early rise of the Internet and "Zhu Xian" that marked the prosperity of Internet literature.
In March, Wang Jing, who was busy in the Clear Water Bay Theater, was drooling with a copy of "Xiangjiang Daily". "Jingzai, why are you so fascinated?" Zheng Shaoqiu interrupted Wang Jing's obscenity.
"Young Master Li's new work! This "Seeking Qin" is written on a super punctual basis, and the Xiang Shaolong in it is really the envy of men of my generation!" Wang Jing looked around and gave Zheng Shaoqiu a look that all men understand, and he was very unbeaten.
Zheng Shaoqiu has long been surprised by the salty and wet temperament of this little fat man, "I still think Li Dashao's "Zhu Xian" is more exciting, and I hope to have the opportunity to play the role in it in the future!"
"That's a waiting! There are very few things written by Young Master Li that have been made into film and television dramas, but if he asks me to shoot "Looking for Qin", I will definitely show the most real side of Xiang Shaolong and the beauties to the audience!" Wang Jing began to think about it shyly.
Zheng Shaoqiu couldn't cry or laugh, "Just say this to you, Li Dashao won't let you shoot "Looking for Qin", you don't think it's embarrassing, he's ashamed!"
Li Ping'an's two books have been serialized in "Xiangjiang Daily" for more than ten days, and the plot has begun to unfold, "Xiangjiang Daily" has also surpassed "Oriental Daily" because of the relationship between "Xun Qin" and "Zhu Xian", and has become the newspaper with the most sales in Xiangjiang.
Jin Yong commented in an article in "Ming Pao": Mr. Li can be called the first talent in Xiangjiang, although there are not many Mandarin works, but the parts are wonderful. The book "Zhu Xian" is different from the routine of traditional martial arts novels of "fighting swords, being happy and enmity, laughing proudly in the rivers and lakes, and wandering the world", but takes the growth of an ordinary person as the main line, and the battle between good and evil as the auxiliary line, to build a dreamlike and real and moving fantasy world. Although the story has not yet been fully unfolded, it has already made people sigh and can't bear to release the volume. As for "The Legend of Qin", it is novel and cleverly conceived, but some of the plots of men and women in the book are too straightforward and undesirable.
Ni Frame may have an enmity with Li Ping'an, and he looks down on Li Ping'an, whose achievements have far surpassed him, and wrote a special book in the "Oriental Daily": Maybe Mr. Li has exhausted his talents, and he will only write some male and female lust to attract people's attention, and Mr. Li's current status is easy to have a bad impact, so it is best not to serialize "Xun Qin Ji" and the like.
Li Bihuan, who has just become a full-time writer and commentator of "Xiangjiang Daily", gave her own comments in "Xiangjiang Daily": "Zhu Xian" is a "Xianxia" novel, and the cultivation of truth and immortality is the root plot of the story, and the ultimate dream of the three schools of Tao, Buddhism and Demon has always run through the work, pursuing "becoming an immortal" The process of dreaming reflects Mr. Li's thinking about the state of life, and the contradiction between the desireless life state of becoming an immortal and the taste of life that ordinary people can taste is a theme embodied in the novel. As for "Xun Qin", it may be a fairy tale for every adult man, indulging in flowers and happy enmity. But I don't particularly like it, because as a woman, there is a sense of substitution.
Li Ping'an doesn't care about the outside world's comments at all, and he doesn't care about those who block him, as long as he doesn't hurt him and the people around him, Li Ping'an only thinks it's a wild dog's barking.
Approaching April, Li Ping'an finally completed the production of his third English album, in which Li Ping'an included "My Love", "You Raise Me Up", and "Seaso".

L" twelve songs, almost all the boys in the West Side.
The production cost of the MV for these twelve songs is far less than that of the previous English album, because there are a lot fewer special effects scenes, but the picture quality is not bad, and the MV shot is more story-like. As for not continuing the style of the previous album, the reason is that Li Ping'an has never been a fan of Michael Jackson, in fact, Li Ping'an rarely had a fixed idol in his previous life, because there are too many complexities in society and too many changes in the entertainment industry, which makes Li Ping'an shy away from the word idol, and he didn't know who his parents were in his previous life, which can't but be said to be a kind of sadness!
