Chapter 407: The Way Out or End of Martial Arts Novels

In addition to satisfying the audience's lively gossip psychology, the pinnacle battle of the two super movies also completely revitalized the film market in May.

Since this early summer, Liu Jingting has added the title of "box office elixir" in addition to the two titles of "publication guarantee" and "ratings guarantee".

In this environment where the market economy is erupting and almost deformed growth, 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 of the domestic film market, the first is the "100 million yuan" box office, the so-called "box office over 100 million",

The second is "$100 million."

Although the box office gap between "Planet" and "Harry Potter" in North America is gradually shrinking, on a global scale, the outcome of this battle is basically no longer in suspense.

And, as long as nothing goes wrong with the follow-up of this series of stories, then this "magic fever" will converge into a monstrous current with even more surging momentum, and it is impossible to predict how far it will end up.

Liu Jingting won.

By this time, everyone was aware of the trend, and the result was so obvious that the media became unrelenting about the war.

The performance of "Star Age" is not bad, although many viewers criticized Blueprint for repeating himself, but the work under the more advanced film industry. The visual experience is still qualitatively improved.

Bluelands' self-confidence stems from this, and so does Bluelands' despair.

As long as it is confirmed that Liu Jingting can also play the movie, this gamble is meaningless. Because in the battle for novel sales, he has already taken the lead in winning a game, even if the movie box office battle "Harry Potter" finally loses, Blueprints is not very good at showing off, but it is just a little to save a little face of his "king of film novels".

The ideal ending is that "Ha" completely hits the streets, and the box office of "Planet" breaks the record of "Outer Time and Space". But it's a pity.

On a talk show in the United States on May 25, Blueprint kissed his ass in front of a worldwide audience. Under the deliberate ridicule of the host, he generously admitted defeat.

The "Battle of Willow Blue", which has been entangled for several years, has finally come to a successful end.

After Liu Jingting got the news, he smiled with his colleagues and said, "Let's let him eat fart." In an interview, he said seriously and modestly: "Actually, everyone understands." This is a propaganda ploy, and after the whole thing, I think that the entertainment spirit and self-confidence of the Americans are more worthy of our attention. ”

High profile is always put on by the winner.

……

Then there was Zheng Yu. ”

When everyone celebrates the victory. Xu Qing said with a sense of superiority. The heroism of each break is very addictive.

"He's a lot weaker than Blueprints. Chang Youdao blurted out, then fell into contemplation, and continued to sigh: "I still remember the scene when Lao Liu invited us to watch "The Outer Time and Space War", when we talked about Blueprints, we were indignant, I said at the time that I hoped that Lao Liu could write a novel and adapt a movie in the future, and teach Blueprints a hard lesson, but I didn't expect that now my wish is really serious." It's not me who is a sycophant, since I teamed up with Lao Liu. Not only has he experienced many miraculous events, but he has also witnessed many impossible things that are possible under his hands. ”

"Aren't you afraid of god-like opponents, 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 talk so loudly, it's better to leave a message in the group, and you can take a screenshot." ”

Everyone laughed happily, and the atmosphere in the office was even more cheerful, and Qingjiao suddenly said: "I saw a math problem on the Internet that claims to be Nangang Kindergarten, I'll send everyone in the group to solve it together." ”

"Fa Fa, although I like literature, but I don't hide it from everyone, my mathematical talent is also frighteningly high. "There is often a way to say that you are not ashamed.

Qingjiao then posted a strange equation 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: "It's just a simple mathematical logic problem, look at me, and I'll give you the answer in ten minutes." ”

……

While his editors were brainstorming a kindergarten math problem in their idleness, Liu Jingting was in a hands-on negotiation with Wei Gang at the Huaying base camp.

"The buyout price will be conditionally adjusted according to the movie table, which is written in the contract. Liu Jingting introduced.

Wei Gang nodded and said, "This is reasonable, can the specific 'conditions' be revealed?"

Liu Jingting spread his hands and said: "This involves trade secrets, before the negotiation reaches a unification, it is illegal for me to say it, and your company must not worry about cooperating with a person who is full of running trains." ”

In fact, Xingyue and Liu Jingting did not have enough bargaining chips to negotiate with Huaying, compared to the limited few secret clauses in the contract, Gong Yuanhe was more willing to believe Liu Jingting himself, who had defeated Shi Wei.

Coercion and temptation, sticks and radishes are useless to Liu Jingting, first, he is not short of money, second, he is not afraid of things, third, there are people above him, "that meal in the capital" has been circulating in the community so far.

Other techniques, such as the more popular beauty scheme, this one is even more unreliable, because the background of Liu Jingting's girlfriend has long spread in some small circles, who dares to play this with him lightly?

Gong Yuan and trust Liu Jingting can solve this matter satisfactorily, and he also knows deeply that this matter will also strengthen Liu Jingting's determination to become an independent door.

No matter what industry he is involved in now, who can use him as a gunman?

Of course, Wei Gang had carefully read Liu Jingting's various materials a long time ago. I am not ready to use any means, after all, in the final analysis, doing business is still about harmony and making money.

"Mr. Liu is so refreshing, I don't go around the bend anymore. The sincerity of our cooperation is 12 percent, and it is said that several other companies are also pestering Xingyue, and from a long-term perspective, we are now working together for the benefit of both sides, and the question now is, after we enter, will the United States think otherwise?"

"There's no doubt about that. ”

Wei Gang smiled: "So we can't let the Yankees make our money for nothing, right?"

"Agreed. ”

"Then what kind of cooperation do you think is more appropriate for us?"

Liu Jingting thought for a while. said: "There will be a Chinese girl in the third part of the novel, and this character will also make an official appearance in the fourth movie, as Harry Potter's first girlfriend." As far as I know, your company just signed a young actor Zhang Ying, right?"

In fact, in the original novel, Qiu Zhang's ethnicity was not explained, but it was speculated that he was Han or Korean based on his name, but in the later film production. A Chinese girl eventually won the role.

As a matter of fact. With the vigorous development of China's economy, the domestic market has become more and more important to other countries, whether it is in the art industry or in the field of sports, Chinese elements are becoming more and more eye-catching.

Wei Gang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said with a smile: "Yes, what Mr. Liu means is ......" Wei Gang actually faintly guessed Liu Jingting's intentions.

"That's where the cooperation comes in. ”

Wei Gang nodded, and then fell into deep thought, half a minute later. said: "This needs to be confirmed with Hollywood in advance, the timeline is too long." There are too many uncertainties. ”

Liu Jingting said lightly: "Harry Potter and Hermione are set by me, there is no problem with this." ”

"The fourth movie," Wei Gang repeated as if talking to himself, and then frowned: "No, what about the second or third films? Mr. Liu don't bluff me anymore at this time." ”

"Since it is an actor cooperation, of course, it doesn't have to be so abrupt, I think that the cooperation between Xingyue and Huaying can officially start now, for example, the filming of "Journey to the West" that Xingyue is preparing for next needs strong collaborators. ”

Wei Gang finally understood Liu Jingting's thoughts, he hoped that this cooperation would take a roundabout route, and Huaying would participate incognito and become a complete behind-the-scenes.

Wei Gang sighed and shook his head slightly.

After leaving Huaying, Liu Jingting sent a text message to Gong Chengpin: "The negotiation failed, start Plan B." ”

It is impossible for Huaying to participate in the distribution of any film incognito, Liu Jingting just made a confirmation.

When any team reaches a certain size, they can no longer do what they want, and this time he can't tear his face with Wei Gang like Shi Wei, because he is negotiating on behalf of Xingyue.

So, when it's time to leave again, he needs to do everything else as freely as he does running "Craftsman's Record".

……

When Liu Jingting returned to the Yingri Building, he saw Chang Youdao spitting with everyone to analyze what the problem was: "From 1111=0 and 4444=0, we can deduce 1=0 and 4=0, and in the same way 2733=0, then 2, 3, and 7 are all equal to 0, that is to say, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7 are all equal to 0."

Then look at the equation 2110=1, 1 and 2 both know that they are equal to 0 and can be eliminated, then this equation can be introduced 0=1, the same reason, 2845=2 This equation can be eliminated because 2 and 4 are equal to 0, it can be simplified to 85=2, and the same is true for several others, 6=1, 86=3, 95=1.

Then substituting it again, we can get 8=2, 5=0, 9=1, and according to the previous 2=0, we can finally get 2889=0+2+2+1=5!"

There is often a confident mathematician who explains his derivation, but because his final answer is correct, even Qingjiao doesn't know how to question it.

"Xiao Chang does have a set. Xu Qing praised.

"In fact, it is a problem of thinking inertia, as long as we can take the number in front of the equation as some kind of symbol, and then use simple logical reasoning, it is not difficult to come up with this answer, I was good at this when I was a child, or we can make a simple one-dimensional equation. "Chang Youdao is quite proud.

"What are you talking about?" Liu Jingting was confused, and finally couldn't help but ask.

When everyone saw Liu Jingting, they first said hello, and then Qingjiao told him about the topic, and Liu Jingting looked at several sets of equations for a while. I had a vague impression of a similar topic in my mind, and I pointed to the computer screen and said, "Is it just a few circles?"

Chang Youdao hurriedly said: "No, it's just a simple logical analysis problem." I've figured it out, and it only took half an hour. ”

Liu Jingting said: "Is the answer equal to 5?"

"Yes, Lao Liu, did you hear it just now?"

"Don't listen, 1111 doesn't have a circle so it's equal to 0, and in 7362, there is only one circle in "6", so it's equal to 1, the same way. 2889, there are no circles in 2, and there are two circles in 8. 9 laps, add up to 5 laps. ”

Everyone in the office immediately re-read the question, and then compared it with Liu Jingting's words, and found that it was indeed the case. Then everyone looked at the math master, Chang Youdao. The latter was looking at the screen with a pig's blood on his face.

"It's good to talk about mathematical logic reasoning about one-dimensional equations. How many rounds of hemp eggs are you?"

There is often a grudge complaining, which causes a burst of laughter in the office.

……

The battle with Blueprints at the box office has settled, and the related topics have slowly fallen silent, replaced by the "new" martial arts novel "Seven Weapons", which was serialized on "Great Rivers and Lakes".

This series of martial arts with a peculiar form and unique idea attracted the attention of some readers and martial arts critics at the beginning of the serialization, and now "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has entered a low-key filming period, and the heated discussion of "Harry Potter" has gradually stabilized, and the discussion about the "seven weapons" has finally begun to occupy the page on a large scale.

In terms of content, the discussion mostly revolves around a few protagonists with unique personalities.

In "The Sword of Eternal Life". Bai Yujing relied on Li Baiyi's poem to set the wind god, and "Bai Yujing in the sky" left a very deep impression on readers;

"Peacock Feather". Gao Li's ending is certainly embarrassing, the relationship between him and the "beauty" is the arrow that really hits the reader's bull's-eye, and the core of "loving someone is loving her soul" can be written so vividly, and the beautiful woman with the wrong facial features does show the lovely charm of the beauty in the end;

"Jasper Knife" is a light-hearted comedy, telling a beautiful story of inconsistencies, the heroine goes to investigate her fiancé who she has never met in another capacity, and finally the two fall in love with each other, the male protagonist in order to keep his promise, and finally decided to go to his fiancée's house to send a wedding gift, and finally "angry" the female protagonist, and finally, the honest male protagonist found that the female protagonist was his fiancée.

The ingenious conception of this story and the happy ending all make readers smile, but the details that really make readers feel excited are still the heroine's sentence "eat my own vinegar". My fiancé fell in love with another woman he pretended to be, and he was still jealous, and this nuanced description of mentality was amazing.

The three stories in the first three parts have their own strengths and supporters, and Gu Yongsheng's ability to write martial arts is still beyond the reach of others, but this deliberate change, does it also mean that martial arts novels have come to an end?

After "Shooting the Condor", the pattern and spirit of martial arts novels were written to the extreme, after "Chu Liuxiang" and "Lu Xiaofeng", the strange path seems to have come to an end, "Condor" is still wonderful, and "Seven Weapons" is even more novel, but objectively commented, these works can only be works on the level line at most, although it can be seen that the author is working hard, but it is difficult to make a breakthrough.

It's not that Gu Yongsheng is demanding anything, after all, he has led martial arts novels to carry out several earth-shaking revolutions, and almost single-handedly laid the overall world view of modern martial arts. ”

This kind of argument from professional critics has gradually become a mainstream concept, and everyone has no complaints about the hero Gu Yongsheng, and his words are full of praise and awe, and he is highly praised for his enterprising and non-stop exploration spirit, and some doubts about Gu Yongsheng's literary creation career will come to an end have not attracted much attention.

"It's not that Gu Yongsheng and martial arts writers are powerless, but that the highest peak appeared too early, Tang poetry and Song poetry are only one generation, and the development of literary laws is like this, it is not the fault of one person and one force, but it can be concluded that no matter how many years later, when the literary world talks about martial arts, the three words 'Gu Yongsheng' are absolutely inseparable, and they are absolutely the most shining, which is enough. ”

……

"It seems that I have to hurry up and write "Heaven and Dragon Slayer". ”

Liu Jingting, who had just adjusted the script of the new episode of "Three Kingdoms" with Xu Qing, glanced at "Huashan on the Sword", and then looked up and said to Yang Lilu and Xu Qing. (To be continued......)
