Chapter 119: Who is Jin Yong?
Martial arts reached the peak of prosperity in the seventies and eighties, at that time, martial arts novels were almost everyone who read and knew about them. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, when the time entered the 90s, with the decline of the older generation of authors, it was difficult to come up with new ones, or simply closed the pen, so that famous artists withered one after another, and with the increasing development of television media, the ordinary citizen class had a richer and more direct way of entertainment than martial arts novels - watching television, so martial arts novels gradually declined from the peak, especially in the past five or six years, there is no longer a book that is difficult to find in the country.
Until the appearance of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the author called "Jin Yong" quickly attracted the attention of countless readers and fans of martial arts novels across the country.
By the time the third part came out, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was already a hit across the country!
Compared with the seventies and eighties, the total number of people who are still willing to read books in this era is definitely less, but you must know that people in their thirties and forties do not need to say that they are the generation that likes to read, and they are also the generation that has developed the habit of reading, and the younger generation, of course, they like to watch TV series, watch movies, and listen to music, but good movies, good TV series, and even good albums are not always available. Passing the time is still a very mainstream form of entertainment.
Therefore, when it came to the fourth finale, office workers opened their mouths to talk about "Shooting the Condor", and school workers also opened their mouths to talk about Guo Jing.
And now, when "Dragon Babu" is listed, with the resounding name of the author of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and with the wonderful story in the first volume of the opening, although there is almost no publicity for this book, it is still a hit immediately after it is listed!
It is an exaggeration to say that a book is hard to find, after all, considering that this is Jin Yong's new book, and the publishing house has reviewed the manuscript, and knows that this book is indeed very good, so the stock of the first printing is very sufficient, so naturally there is no worry about running out of books to sell. But there is no doubt that it is selling fast everywhere!
In just one week after its launch, more than 1.2 million copies of the book have been shipped!
Orders from all over the world are still flying like snowflakes!
Although the publishing house is so happy, dealers and bookstores around the country are also happy to sell well, and even many media outlets, under such a craze, have begun to pay attention to such a novel that has attracted the whole people to read.
Various newspapers have published book reviews and reports, and some magazines have invited some past martial arts masters to open columns to comment on the first volume of "Dragon Babu", which has also attracted a sharp increase in newspaper sales!
As soon as it looks good, then everyone will naturally get on the horse one after another!
After reviewing the first volume of "Dragon Babu", you can continue to comment on "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", after all, it was also a popular book last year, and even "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has been reviewed, and you can also comment on "Blue Blood Sword", although that book is not as popular as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Dragon Babu", and the reputation is not as good as the last two, but as Jin Yong's first work since his debut, it is still remarkable.
Moreover, just because this famous writer has finished commenting doesn't mean that I can't find another writer to comment on it? If there are two famous artists who have different opinions, it will be even better!
Of course, the media is always powerful, and the ideas of media reporters are always very divergent!
Jin Yong is so popular, everyone recognizes that he has brought a second spring to martial arts novels, so just let the writers comment, it's a bit unpleasant, you can find a few more directors to give reviews!
After all, the so-called martial arts craze, after the big sellers, the martial arts novels must be very high-quality adaptation resources, maybe in a year or two, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" will be made into a TV series!
Ah, by the way, by the way, you can interview Li Qian, in recent years, as he has become more and more popular as the leader of the music world, the domestic music scene has been recognized, including the literary world, even if he does not mention his musical talent, Li Qian's literary talent is also very remarkable, and many of the lyrics he wrote are considered to be quite high-level poetry!
So, you can ask Li Qian, a great talent, if he has any ideas about writing novels in the future? Will he consider writing a martial arts novel? Also, as a director, what kind of evaluation does he give to several of Jin Yong's novels, including "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Blue Blood Sword", and the "Dragon Babu" that has just come out? Will he consider buying their film and television adaptation rights in the future?
So, after a few days, all kinds of interviews began to appear.
Liu Chengzhang:
"Oh, there's a new book coming out again, what's it called? Oh, "Dragon Babu", a good name...... But I haven't seen this yet, I haven't had time, and I haven't heard of it, I've been busy preparing for a new movie recently, and it's about to start shooting. It's so busy!"
"Well, this author's words, I have read his "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", I read this one first, and then I found "Blue Blood Sword" to take a look, frankly speaking, he has made very rapid progress! "Shooting the Condor" is a large-span progress and leap compared to "Blue Blood Sword"!"
"So like you, I'm looking forward to his next book, but not now, I don't dare to read it when he comes out, I have to wait until the new movie is finished before I can watch it, otherwise I'll worry about his book affecting my ......thinking."
"Of course I'm interested! I also contacted, but unfortunately I didn't get in touch, the publishing house said that it had signed a confidentiality contract, and the other party's name could not be disclosed, and the other party had no intention of selling the film and television adaptation rights for the time being, so I had to give up for the time being!"
"Yes, that's right! I like to make movies with large adaptations, but I also look at the original story, like "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which is a very classical one to do calligraphy, the skeleton is very complete, and the structure is relatively rigorous, to be honest, I am very interested, but you really let me shoot, I really feel that I can't change too much, because the story itself is already very complete, very good! There is not much room for adaptation, but there is not much room for adaptation!"
Du Weiyun:
"Yes, I read it, it's very well written, but Mu Wanqing's paragraph, the stalk is too old! Mr. Du Zhenfu has used it in the seventies, and many people have used this stalk later, haha! But it's okay, even if it's an old stalk, it's as good as it is written!"
"Well, well, I'm interested! Of course I'm interested, we're currently in contact with the buyer! If I can get the approval of this author, Mr. Kim Yong, maybe I'll direct it myself!"
"No, it's not a movie, or even if it does, it has to be made into a series! But I still tend to make "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" into a TV series, the whole structure of the book is very good, the book is long enough, the story is full of ups and downs, it is very suitable for making a large TV series! ha...... Why, can't I direct a TV series? Film and television are not separated, I really want to give it a try! Let's see if I can buy it!"
Zheng Yuan:
"Yes, I like this book very much, I have read his previous two books, and I like it very much! If possible, I hope to be able to play the role of Guo Jing, I especially like this role! The great man of chivalry, for the country and the people, is really very good!"
Li Qian:
"Ladies and gentlemen, our investment is limited, and the filming time is very tight, what questions do you have when I finish filming this movie, and then I will answer you later......?
…………
In the last ten days of August, the names Jin Yong, and Tianlong Babu, suddenly became popular in China.
At this time, the film market is at the end of the summer file, Zhou Yan's "Red Bean" is still dominating the record market, Zhou Ye's new album "You Come Back" has suddenly become popular, TV series and TV variety shows, Huaxia TV's summer drama "Wu Zetian" ended with the highest ratings of 37.4%, which was not satisfactory, but it is already the best result of Huaxia TV this year, and "Super Girl" after the end of 80 into 20 in the six major regions Visit the special feature of Minghu Culture, and the subsequent broadcast of 20 into 10 in each competition area, because there are many more links of audience interaction, coupled with the launch of innovative PK competitions, repechage matches and other links, suddenly became popular, and the ratings soared from around 10% all the way to 28%, and breaking through 30% is only in front of you!
And at this time, whether it is to take advantage of the situation to promote themselves, or whether they really like it, when many films are being promoted, when asked about "Dragon Babu" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", many people will jokingly say that they have seen it, and they have sent high praise.
As a result, the book "Dragon Babu" became more and more popular!
But soon, when all kinds of marketing methods have been used, and newspapers and magazines rack their brains to think about topics, and it is not easy to think of them, a question suddenly pops up.
So, we all say that books are good, but the question is, who is Kim Yong?
What is his name? Where is he from? What school did he graduate from? How old is he? Male or female? Are you married?
Also, did he have any other books before? Is he writing books professionally? If not, what kind of profession is he doing? Why did he sign a confidentiality agreement with the publishing house in the first place, strictly prohibiting the disclosure of all information related to him? Moreover, why did he insist that he had no intention of selling the adaptation rights of his works? Doesn't he want his works to be adapted into film and television works?
Nothing!
Nothing is known about all this.
However, media practitioners know very well that with Jin Yong's current reputation in China at that time, and with the huge readership of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Dragon Babu", who can dig out these problems will directly detonate the sales of the newspaper!
Unfortunately, there is no way to know!
The reporters tried all kinds of methods, and even did not hesitate to offer high rewards, in an attempt to lure the staff and editors of the publishing house, but the problem is that the only useful information that the editorial department can provide is that "Blue Blood Sword" was directly sent to the manuscript for submission, and then the editorial department and the boss took a fancy to give it publication, and even signed the contract, he himself did not come to the publishing house, but made an appointment with the boss, and the two of them went out for a cup of coffee, and the contract was signed!
And when it comes to the second book, it's the same way it was concocted!
Of course, you can't see the contract, the General Administration of Publication has a pen name on file, and as for the owner of the publishing house, he directly declined to interview!
A cloud of mist.
As a result, all kinds of speculations and all kinds of rumors have emerged one after another -- some of them are even directly made up by the editors of many small newspapers, but they have a nose and an eye, and they publish them in the newspaper, and they do not say whether they made it up or are really interviewed, in short, they just give a paragraph in a vague way, whether it is true or false, you can guess for yourself, and then, many people believe it!
Some people say that Jin Yong is a university professor, and some people's information is more detailed, according to the whistleblower himself, the author Jin Yong is his good friend, college classmate, currently teaching in the literature department of a university in China, is an associate professor, bishop of Chinese classical literature, when "Blue Blood Sword" was written, he also asked himself to help read the manuscript.
The basis for this statement is: the author Jin Yong's writing is good, and his rhetoric is quite in the style of the ancients, so at first glance, he has a good foundation in ancient literature, and it is reasonable to say that he teaches classical literature in a university!
Some people also say that Jin Yong is actually a martial artist, and he still lives in the Taoist temple in the deep mountains, and he never thought of writing a book, but he saw that so many people outside were scribbling, in fact, he didn't know any martial arts at all, so he couldn't help but start writing novels, the first "Blue Blood Sword" was a study, and it was not very mature, but in the second book, he quickly found his own writing style, so it became popular.
The foothold of this statement is that it was not obvious at the time of "Blue Blood Sword", but by the time of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the description of martial arts moves and martial arts routines in the book is self-contained, and it can be seen that Jin Yongqi must be an expert in martial arts, and he is even likely to be a master.
But soon, new claims came out.
It is said that Jin Yong is a high school teacher, teaching history, and usually likes to study ancient Chinese history, don't look at just teaching high school, but people have published many professional papers, it is said that many universities have invited him to be a lecturer in the past, but they are very "stubborn".
As for writing martial arts novels, it's just a "little hobby" of others, not the main business!
Not to mention, as soon as this statement came out, it quickly won the recognition of many people, many of whom were even some past martial arts masters, or university professors, or professional writers of major newspapers.
Because the support point of this statement seems to be more reliable: "Blue Blood Sword", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and the "Dragon Babu", which has just published the first part, all have a detailed historical background, which is completely different from the previous martial arts novels that have a large number of writing without historical background.
Therefore, this Jin Yong, even if he is not engaged in history teaching, at least he must be an amateur history research enthusiast!
One after another, there is no consensus.
But who is Kim Yong exactly?
Even the most powerful journalists can't give an answer.
But all these external disturbances did not affect the filming process of "My Sassy Girlfriend" at all.
It's just that with the end of the summer vacation and the new students are about to enroll, although the filming progress of the movie is extremely fast, it was already the end of July when the filming of "My Sassy Girlfriend" started, and the filming location of this movie is not small, and the length of the film is tentatively scheduled to be two hours, so no matter how fast and slow you are, it is impossible to end the filming in a month.
And Lu Lingxi, the assistant director, already has to go back to school.
But fortunately, in addition to the time for class scheduling, she just stays at school every morning to deal with some things, and in the afternoon, she will definitely take leave to rush to the set to participate in the shooting, which is quite conscientious.
After more than ten days of filming, "My Sassy Girlfriend" is getting closer and closer to the completion of the whole drama.
