Chapter 116: Doujin Turmoil
After more than 4 months, the serialization of the novel "Kunlun" in the newspaper finally ushered in the finale, Liang Xiao was rescued in the battle of Tianji Palace, life and death are unknown, and Peanut broke through the red dust under the master's point and went west. The ending is only a few strokes, but the desolate artistic conception comes out of the paper, and all readers who put down the newspaper in their hands will let out a long sigh in their hearts.
Although the novel ends, the content of the story has left a lot of foreshadowing, what is the ending of Feng Lian and Hua Jingyuan, and the mystery of Liang Xiao's life and death, all of which affect the hearts of readers, and the editorial department of "Ming Pao" now receives dozens of letters from readers every day, and the two phone calls are all blown up by readers. The staff at the reception came to complain every day, and Jin Yong had to send a fax to Lin Youlun, asking him to send a statement and publish it in the newspaper to explain.
The next day, Lin Youlun's public statement was published in "Ming Pao", only saying that the foreshadowing left by the story will be answered one by one in the next novel, and as for the mystery of the protagonist's life and death, the answer will be given in the TV series adapted from wireless.
This statement is clearly an advertisement for the "Kunlun" TV series, but it makes people not make mistakes, Lin Youlun has already said in the statement that the next novel will not be written until next year, and readers who are still unsatisfied have shifted their attention to TV, and even the sales of TV series posters with "Kunlun" have also become popular.
"Boss, I want a poster of Zhou Comin, the one where she plays the piano with her head down."
"I'm sorry, that one has been sold out, do you want this positive one?"
"Forget it, I already have this one."
Seeing the hand in the customer's hand retract again, the owner of this store really felt uncomfortable.
As soon as the customer left, another person came in the store, who also came to buy the poster of "Kunlun".
"The one that Wang Guxian is riding on a horse? I'm really sorry, that one is out of stock, do you want this one, the front face is very clear! ”
The boss's enthusiastic sales did not work, and the other party was immediately disinterested when he heard that there was no goods, and left without looking back.
The people who came to buy posters on this day, but most of them came to buy those posters with their whole body or only one side face, and let the boss wear out his mouth, and the old posters in the past just couldn't sell.
Not only are the peripheral posters of the TV series selling well, but the audience is also divided into several factions because of the heroine in the play, among which the number of viewers who support Hua Xiaoshuang played by Zhou Comin and Liu Yingying played by the Wang group is the largest, and Qiu Shuzhen's A Xue is also very popular.
Most of TVB's TV series are filmed and broadcast at the same time, and the production team will decide the weight of a certain role in the future because of the audience's preferences, which is also the magic weapon of TVB for many years to compete for ratings, but this trick is a little ineffective when it comes to "Kunlun". Because the script was written by Lin Youlun, the crew could only shoot it, and seeing that Qiu Shuzhen, who was gradually gaining popularity, was about to "write to death" in the plot, he discussed with Lin Youlun to see if he could modify this plot, don't let Ah Xue die, and give her a better ending.
For the sake of maintaining the essence of the original work, Lin Youlun refused to agree at first, because if Ah Xue's ending is changed, will Liu Yingying's ending be changed? Just when Lin Youlun was hesitating, an unexpected thing happened.
At noon that day, Dong Qianli hurriedly came to the door, and without saying a word, he stuffed a book into Lin Youlun's hand.
"See for yourself!"
Lin Youlun couldn't understand what Dong Qianshan couldn't say on the phone, so he had to run in person. Looking at the book in his hand again, from the binding and printing, he knew that the road was a pirated book, and there was no doubt that the cover was printed with the two big characters "Kunlun", Lin Youlun thought that "Kunlun" was pirated at first, but after Dong Qianshan reminded him, he noticed that there was a "reverse" word with an inconspicuous color and font on the two words "Kunlun", and he didn't feel dumbfounded. …,
Accustomed to seeing strange cottages in later generations such as "Master Kong" becoming "Kang Shuaifu", Lin Youlun immediately became interested in this novel called "Reverse Kunlun", he always felt that this novel and "Kunlun" would have some connections.
The content of the book tells the story of a modern special forces soldier who returned to the end of the Song Dynasty on a time machine, and the background is directly used in the setting of "Kunlun", the protagonist was rescued by a master outside the world after returning to the Song Dynasty, teaching a strong skill, and meeting Liang Wenjing and his wife as soon as he got out of the mountain. The protagonist helped Liang Wenjing fight Xiao Qianjue viciously, and after the last fight, he was injured and successfully saved Liang Wenjing's life from Xiao Qianjue's hands, and Xiao Yuling was not taken away by Xiao Qianjue.
From here on, the plot of "Kunlun" has been changed beyond recognition, Liang Xiao did not have his father and mother scattered, but worshipped the protagonist as a teacher. Liang Wenjing and his wife took Liang Xiao and the protagonist to Hangzhou to wander, during which they met Qin Bofu of Tianji Palace and Jiuru to fight, and then met Hua Qingyuan, the young master of Tianji Palace, in Hangzhou, and his party, the protagonist and Hua Qingyuan's sister, Hua Xiaoshuang's aunt Hua Murong fell in love at first sight, and then returned to Tianji Palace with Liang Xiao and Hua Murong.
In the original book, it should have been Liang Xiao's encounter, but most of it was taken up by the protagonist of this book, the protagonist comprehended the way of heaven in the Tianji Palace, and his martial arts were successful, so he said goodbye to Hua Murong and took Liang Xiao to travel through the rivers and lakes, during which he met Han Zining chasing and killing his nephew Liu Yingying, the protagonist surrendered to Han Zining, Liang Xiao and Liu Yingying fell in love at first sight, and they were determined for life under the witness of the protagonist...... This book takes the story of "Kunlun" as the framework, and writes a new story with ingenuity, what is even more rare is that the author's writing and talent are first-class, writing hundreds of thousands of words, and Lin Youlun is also fascinated, if it were not for Dong Qianshan's several urgings, he would be a little reluctant to put down this book.
"Your work has been changed beyond recognition, are you still in the mood to watch it?" Dong Qianli was confused by Lin Youlun's reaction.
This "Reverse Kunlun" is like the title of the book, all the "Kunlun" has been rewritten, the dead people in "Kunlun" are not dead in this book, and the people who live well in "Kunlun" have received lunch boxes in the book. The most surprising thing is that in this book, the protagonist let his apprentice Liang Xiao marry Hua Xiaoshuang, Liu Yingying, A Xue and Feng Lian all home as his wife in one go, and the protagonist robbed Yunshu's wife Hua Murong is not enjoyable, and robbed Hua Qingyuan's lover Han Zining, the story is extremely absurd and exaggerated, and the description of the love affair between men and women in the text is too explicit, in the eyes of the older generation of traditional literati like Dong Qianli, it is inferior.
Lin Youlun originally wanted to say that this story was adapted very well, but when he saw Dong Qianli's face, he had to change his words and ask: "What is the newspaper going to do now?" ”
The publishing house of "Kunlun" has always been the responsibility of the publishing house under "Ming Pao", and at this time, a "copycat" suddenly appeared, and "Ming Pao" certainly will not sit idly by. Just before Dong Qianli came to Lin Youlun, the pirate who printed the book had been controlled by the Hong Kong police, and nearly 100,000 pirated copies of the book were found from his residence at once, and according to his confession, the book had been secretly sold in Hong Kong almost 200,000 copies, and Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, and other Chinese-populated regions and countries sold a total of almost 500,000 copies.
"The police froze the man's bank account, which contained about 1 million, all of which were illegal publication proceeds, and the police confiscated it and returned it to the newspaper as compensation for infringement, and the president meant that the money would be directly transferred to your account."
This unexpected "windfall" made Lin Youlun a little surprised, but he was more concerned about another thing.
"Have you found the author of this book?"
The publisher confessed that he bought the manuscript of the book for 10,000 Hong Kong dollars from a man named Huang Kuanqiang, a graduate of the art department of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, who specialized in traditional Chinese painting during his studies and is now an assistant curator of the Hong Kong Museum of Art. He also wrote this manuscript for a while, originally just for his own amusement, but later the manuscript was favored by the publisher, and the other party asked him to go out for a drink, and he sold the manuscript in a daze.........,
Before Dong Qianli finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lin Youlun.
"You said this person's name is Huang Guqiang?"
Dong Qianli saw Lin Youlun's strange expression, and couldn't help asking, "What, do you know him?" ”
Lin Youlun shook his head, but there were a lot of waves in his heart. If he remembers correctly, this guy named Huang Guqiang will change his name to "Huang Yi" in a few years, write many novels, and eventually become the originator of time-traveling literature and online novels.
No wonder Lin Youlun is so familiar with the writing of this "Reverse Kunlun", it turns out to be from Master Huang's handwriting.
Master Huang became famous in advance, but this way of becoming famous is estimated to be difficult for even him to accept, and Lin Youlun can't cry or laugh.
"Since that Mr. Huang is just unintentional, and he hasn't made much money from it, I don't think there is any need to pursue this matter."
Lin Youlun's decision surprised Dong Qianli, but after thinking about it, he felt that what Lin Youlun said was not unreasonable. The initiator of this incident is the unscrupulous publisher, and now that the first evil has been punished, if Lin Youlun and "Ming Pao" still continue to pursue it, it will inevitably make people feel that they are not strong enough.
"Doesn't this Huang Guqiang like to adapt novels? Recently, Wireless is discussing with me to revise the plot of "Kunlun", and I really don't want to change the script, so I asked this Huang Kuoqiang to help me change it! Lin Youlun not only did not pursue Huang Guqiang's mistakes, but also named him to adapt the TV script of "Kunlun", Dong Qianli thought Lin Youlun was joking at first.
Seeing Lin Youlun take out the checkbook, the expression on Dong Qianli's face suddenly became very surprised.
"You can't be serious, can you?"
"It can be seen that he still put a lot of thought into writing "Reverse Kunlun", with such a talent in writing, doesn't Dong Lao think it's a pity to bury it?" Lin Youlun wrote a check for 100,000 yuan and asked Dong Qianli to help transfer it to Huang Guqiang, saying that this was the remuneration for adapting the script, and at the same time asked Dong Qianli to help him bring a few words to Huang Guqiang.
Lin Youlun wrote everything he wanted to say on a note, Dong Qianli couldn't help but open it when he went out, and saw that the note read: "I have my own Qiankun pen in my chest, why write articles on behalf of others?" ”
