Chapter 471: The Emperor's New Clothes, The Song of a Hero

A vast "Dragon Babu" not only writes all the joys and sorrows of the world, but also almost finishes all forms of love in the world.

Duan Zhengchun's abusive affection, Duan Yu's amorous, Xuan Ci's ruthlessness, Kang Min's ruthlessness, Qiao Feng's dedication, You Tan's infatuation, Ah Zi's deformity...... Someone once joked that in the book "Tianlong", except for the absence of same-sex feelings, other feelings can be regarded as written again.

In addition to feelings, the most talked about by book fans are many interesting concepts and character examples put forward in the book, such as Wang Yuyan, who is well-read and knows all the martial arts in the world but does not know any martial arts;

Each character setting can trigger many topics, and at the same time can trigger inspiration for different types of writers, and individual characters even gradually integrate into life, becoming a habitual phrase for people's daily communication, and becoming a representative of a class of people, just like the term "sweeping monk" has become synonymous with folk masters.

In the early morning of a university, the security guard recited English and spoke professionally, which made the passing college students embarrassed;

The cleaning aunt of Harbin Institute of Technology told her classmates in the study room, "Your equation is wrong";

An aunt in a college recording studio can speak many Chinese and even understand Esperanto;

These people are not disguised, hidden strange people are collectively called "sweeping monks", forum websites often use this kind of saying, come and go suddenly, there are not many scenes, but it is impressive.

In addition, another important point that has to be mentioned in "Dragon Babu" is the shaping of the "Four Villains", and some commentators have thought that the villains in Jin Yong's novels are more successful and interesting than the protagonists. This kind of rhetoric is naturally opinionated, but it also confirms the success and impressiveness of Jin Yong's martial arts villain.

In fact, the nicknames of the "Four Evildoers" have achieved ingenuity. It is similar to the five supernatural powers in the East Evil and West Poison, the Southern Emperor and the Northern Beggar.

The big villain Duan Yanqing, nicknamed 'evil', is full of Ying, and the word "evil" ranks first;

The second child, Ye Erniang, has the nickname of "evil" and does not do it, and the word "evil" ranks second;

The third South China Sea crocodile god, nicknamed the fierce god 'evil', the word "evil" ranks third;

The old four cranes in the clouds. The nickname is extremely vicious 'evil', and the word "evil" ranks fourth;

Among them, the crane in the old four clouds is lustful and greedy by nature, and all the beautiful women he sees want to get involved. He is the most unforgivable of the four evildoers, his background is unknown, and his light skills are excellent. It is rumored that Mr. Jin Yong wants to criticize his cousin Xu Zhimo's amorous nature with this role, but the true situation is unknown. "Crane in the Clouds" is indeed one of Xu Zhimo's pen names.

The four evildoers have been so careful just by choosing their names. The story arrangement is more manageable.

……

When some professional book reviews, similar to "ancient Greek tragedy", similar to "self-loss and redemption", and similar to "the hidden nature of human primitive wildness", swept the forum like a spark, book fans gradually came out of the ending arrangement of Azhu and Qiao Feng and began to pay attention to other places.

Except for the last Sherlock Holmes turmoil, which may have caused a diplomatic dispute, and Liu Jingting may have made a compromise in the end, all other novels. For example, the tragic ending of "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch", such as the open ending of "Snow Mountain Flying Fox", and the loss of the little dragon girl in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Readers have not once succeeded in opposing the request to revise the plot.

Moreover, "Dragon Babu" is published in the form of a complete book, whether it is from the perspective of novel structure or story integrity, it is unrealistic to modify the plot, and it is more just a complaint.

"Now the mainstream view has gradually leaned towards the argument that 'this arrangement really has a deep meaning', as if for a while, I didn't agree with Qiao Feng and Azhu's ending, I just didn't understand this book. ā€

Chang Youdao said with a sigh.

"The Emperor's new clothes. Liu Jingting blurted out.

Then all edits replied "?"

Liu Jingting was stunned, and then briefly recounted the story of "The Emperor's New Clothes", and after everyone listened to this story, the professional little heart of the editor suddenly stirred.

"This story can be written down, the plot is simple, the meaning is rich, and it will be a very interesting essay. Green Pepper said.

Liu Jingting thought for a while and replied: "It just so happens that the editor-in-chief of "Children's Literature and Art" Yao recently asked me for a manuscript, so I'll sort it out and send it to her." ā€

Green Pepper: "Ah, I want us to keep it for ourselves." ā€

"Next time. ā€

"Hmm. ā€

This topic came to an end, and Chang Youdao posted a screenshot in the group, which was a reader of the Huashan Sword Forum about the possibility of the operation of the multi-line narrative mode of the three protagonists of "Dragon Babu", and the reader asked half-truthfully: "How many protagonists can a novel can accommodate, is there a limit?"

After Chang Youdao posted a screenshot, he annotated the text: "I'm also curious about this question." ā€

After a while, Liu Jingting replied with a number: "108." ā€

Wang Jianshan: "......"

Green Pepper: "Everyone introduces themselves, and then the whole book is finished?"

Su Jin: ""Heaven and Dragon Slayer" began to look like martial arts, "Dragon Babu" should be regarded as a masterpiece, I roughly calculated, there are more than 200 characters officially mentioned in the book "Tianlong", and there are always twenty or thirty names that can be called out immediately after reading the whole book. ā€

Kang Lingyue: "The supporting roles are okay, more than ten protagonists in a book should be biographies, right?"

Xu Qing: "Counting "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", I don't have this number, if I remember correctly, the characters written in this book are close to 2,000, but the protagonists are still those mentioned in history textbooks. ā€

Chang Youdao: "And the characters of historical novels can only be described from a different angle from a certain point of view, which is not a real sense of shaping." ā€

Liu Jingting: "Generally speaking, you just don't believe that a book can have 108 main characters?"

Everyone suddenly hesitated. After all, this sentence came from Liu Jingting's mouth, today, in the world of words, is there anything he can't do?

Liu Jingting: "Hahaha......"

Everyone suddenly understood. After all, the attributes of his own big boss are also a bit comical.

Xu Qing: "Cut." I thought you were going to bet with everybody?"

Liu Jingting: "What do you mean by Aunt Qing, you want to bet with me?"

Xu Qing: "Don't you dare?"

Liu Jingting: "The agitation method is useless to me - let's show our chips!"

Xu Qing: "Oh, then I'll come first." If you can write a book with more than 100 main characters, I'll make breakfast for you for a week, and I'm not embarrassed for you, you can prioritize the 'main characters', but you can at least make sure that each character is recognizable. ā€

Liu Jingting: "No problem, what about the others?"

Su Jin: "How can you lose when you bet with the boss...... With Aunt Qing. ā€

Green Pepper: "Is it really good to show chips to the boss...... With Aunt Qing. ā€

Then Kang Lingyue, Chang Youdao, Wang Jianshan, and Xiao Qingyu all admitted to the bet one after another. Liu Jingting first made a sweaty expression, and then released his chips: "If I lose, make breakfast for each of you." Then everyone's year-end bonus is doubled. ā€

"Really?"

"Of course. ā€

After Liu Jingting replied with four words, he thought of something and continued to reply: "The so-called shoot when you should shoot, and go to Kyushu in a hurry." Hey, hey, hey, hey......, hey, hey,

Editors: "......"

So the boss has a comic component. It wasn't that he was wronged.

Yang Lilu, who watched the whole conversation, although she didn't reply in the group, chatted with Liu Jingting privately: "I understand your intention to add a year-end bonus to everyone, but why do you still have to make breakfast?"

……

In addition to observing book reviews and dealing with readers' letters, the biggest headache for him at present is the ownership of the film and television adaptation rights of "Dragon Babu".

With the novel's popularity, influence, and capacity at this time, coupled with the gold-lettered signboard of "Gu Yongsheng", the potential of the film and television adaptation of this book is absolutely limitless.

Now. Liu Jingting no longer belongs to Xingyue TV, whether it is Xingyue, Ocean or other film and television companies. They are all at the same starting line and can compete fairly.

In fact, as soon as he announced the news of his new book on the microblog that day, five film and television companies called the magazine office one after another, tentatively asking about the adaptation rights of the novel, and Su Jin refused one by one according to Liu Jingting's meaning with the excuse of "I haven't thought about it yet".

This time to do "Dragon Babu", Liu Jingting's Yingri culture will definitely invest, and the question now is which collaborator to choose.

Xingyue is of course the first sequence choice, but due to the previous partnership, Xingyue has accumulated a lot of martial arts-themed TV series, such as "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", which is about to complete filming recently.

If "Dragon Babu" is handed over to Xingyue again this time, I am afraid that not only the readers and audiences, but even myself will be a little aesthetically fatigued.

Moreover, I chose to jump out of Xingyue in order to get in touch with the wider world outside, if I still blindly cared about a lot, what was the difference between being bound by a cooperative relationship at that time?

Therefore, Liu Jingting is more biased towards the ocean this time.

At this time, the phone call between Gong Chengpin and Wang Hangan came as scheduled.

Liu Jingting thought about it, or went to see Gong Chengpin first, quite unexpectedly, Gong Chengpin did not talk much about the issue of "Dragon Babu" this time, but exchanged views on the publicity and distribution of the TV series "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", and at the same time expressed his appreciation to Liu Jingting for recommending Chen Hong, who played the purple-shirted dragon king Dai Qisi, Liu Jingting was surprised to find that when Gong Chengpin was talking about Chen Hong, there was a strange light in his eyes.

Could it be that something happened that he didn't know, Liu Jingting visited the class of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" and didn't find any problems.

"In the case of "Dragon Babu", we Xingyue are afraid that we will not be able to take it in the past few years," Gong Chengpin said with a proper smile: "The repetition of the theme is still secondary, the key is that I am worried that the audience will have the problem of aesthetic fatigue." ā€

Liu Jingting nodded.

"The more suitable options are Ocean and CCTV. "Gong Chengpin built yƬ road.

"Ocean ......" Liu Jingting glanced at Gong Chengpin.

Gong Chengpin bowed his head and said, "Because of the cooperation with you before, our Xingyue has maintained a leading position for a short time, and now it should be to the ocean." ā€

Liu Jingting has no doubts about Gong Chengpin's words, Xingyue and the ocean are two sides of the contradiction, complementing each other, just like "where there is KFC, there will generally be McDonald's", the two can only maintain healthy and steady progress if they are equal and evenly matched.

The antagonistic relationship between Xingyue VS Ocean was originally a big magic weapon for them to gain attention. This is a tacit understanding.

After the conversation with Gong Chengpin ended, Liu Jingting immediately went to see Wang Hangan, there was no unnecessary game and roundabout, Liu Jingting directly reached a verbal agreement with Wang Hangan, they are all understanding people, and many words can be saved.

……

The two negotiations were all over, Liu Jingting took a taxi back to the Yingri Building, and involuntarily hummed "Song of a Good Man" on the way:

"The great river flows eastward, and the stars in the sky join the Beidou ......" (to be continued......)
