Chapter 158: Popular Book of the Year

As a phenomenal martial arts novel of the year, the readers and fans of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" add up. As the first TV series adapted from mainland martial arts novels after remaking many martial arts novels from Hong Kong and Taiwan, the popularity of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is self-evident.

Maybe many people who don't read martial arts novels don't know what "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is, but it doesn't prevent them from hearing about this novel from friends, colleagues, and family members.

It's like J.K. Rowling writing Harry. Potter", it doesn't matter if others have seen it or not, the important thing is that the novel became famous, so after it was adapted into a movie, viewers gathered, and the box office swept the world.

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" of course talks about fame, and it is inferior to "Harry. There are many, many "Potter", but in China, the fame of "Shooting the Condor" can be said to be a long rainbow and a bullfight.

The entire book market in 2003 is basically Zhang Tan's world, although the genuine sales of "Shooting the Condor" are over, but the sales of the second part of the trilogy "The Condor Heroes" are still continuing, and they continue to occupy the top position in the domestic book market.

After all, Zhang Tan's fame at this time is no longer a newcomer when he first wrote "Shooting the Condor", but a famous young writer in China.

As the first part of the trilogy, it is difficult for the adaptation of "Shooting the Condor" not to be noticed, and the sales of "Shooting the Condor" are over this year, but the word-of-mouth is also fermenting and brewing day by day with the genuine and pirated books sold.

In China, you may not know what Zhang Tan does, and you may not know what Zhang Tan looks like, but you will more or less have heard the name "Tan Zhang".

In the past, everyone would say that Tan Zhang, Han Jingming, and Guo Han are all young writers, three very talented young people born in the 80s.

Now everyone will say. Tan Zhang is a great writer born in the 80s and a great master of martial arts, and he is no longer listed with Han Jingming and Guo Han.

Although Han Jingming and Guo Han at this time have already become famous in China and have become enviable young writers. But after all, Zhang Tan is a lot worse, and their works can't arouse such a big social attention.

Inside. Zhang Dabeard's adaptation of "Shooting the Condor" also made a great effort.

"Shooting the Condor", which has invested tens of millions of dollars, does not know how much hype and publicity has been spent on it, which has invisibly expanded Zhang Tan's fame.

"The Condor Heroes Come as a Guest" is just one part of the publicity.

After chatting about the details of the creation on Xinlang.com, the crew turned to a big publicity, and the film and television culture channel of Zhejiang TV reached a live broadcast agreement with the crew of "Condor Shooting", which will broadcast the filming of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" live from 2 pm to 4 pm on November 4.

This is the first live TV series shooting in China's TV industry.

The Zhejiang Television Film and Television Culture Channel spent hundreds of thousands of yuan on this and used live broadcast equipment worth 35 million yuan. Dozens of cameras. The Zhoushan government even brought in helicopters to take aerial pictures of Taohua Island built in Taohua Town, preparing to promote Taohua Island and promote the local tourism industry in the future.

Zhang Tan was not surprised and was invited to the live broadcast again.

The live broadcast is divided into three parts.

The first part is the filming of two scenes, one scene is in the Bagua Pavilion of Peach Blossom Island, Ouyang Ke opens his mouth to ask Huang Yaoshi for marriage; The other scene is the life-and-death struggle between Ouyang Feng and Hong Qigong on the flower boat used for marriage after the marriage proposal, and the martial arts scene in which the flower boat was blown up and sunk. The second part is a live interview with the original writer and screenwriter Zhang Tan, producer Zhang Dabeard, and producer Wang Zhujiang.

The third part is an overhead shot of the scenery of Peach Blossom Island. and embellished the shots of thousands of horses galloping, yurts, and Guo Jing's falling horses filmed by the crew in Inner Mongolia.

Because Peach Blossom Island is all sand, it is easy for the live broadcast car to sink into it. As early as October, the Zhoushan government built several roads for live broadcast vehicles and made plans for live broadcasts.

But it was really broadcast live, but the trouble continued, and the chief dispatcher broadcast such a big scene for the first time, which made the scene messy. By one o'clock, there was a power outage, and I had to temporarily use a power truck to generate electricity.

As the live broadcast time approached, the tourists who had already been notified directly surrounded the entire live broadcast site.

I saw the filming time of the martial arts. The crowd was still around, and Zhao Jian, who was directing the martial arts, was busy shouting: "Clear the field quickly, clear the field quickly!" ”

There are so many people that they are reluctant to retreat, or they retreat, but when they see that others have not retreated, they squeeze through again.

"It's not clean!" The assistant director of the scene returned.

The chief director of the live broadcast also made a decision: "First arrange the host to interview Zhang Weishen and them!" ”

So in the chaotic scene, the live broadcast camera switched to the outside of the crew's temporary studio, where Zhang Tan and others gathered.

The host in the hurry was also caught off guard, and hurriedly went into battle for an interview without anything arranged.

Fortunately, what should I ask, I have been on the script before, and the interview was quite successful.

Zhang Tan was also asked several questions, such as how he felt when he saw his work being realized little by little, whether he was satisfied with the appearance of the actors, and whether he had ever thought about the beautiful scenery of Peach Blossom Island when writing novels.

At last.

It was busy until 4:05, when the flower boat was blown up and sunk, and the live broadcast ended.

……

Writing.

Occasionally run around with the crew.

In the last two months of 2003, Zhang Tan spent a happy and relaxed life in this life.

New Year's Day is approaching, and the new year will begin.

At this time, it is a time for people to take stock of the previous year and look forward to the next year. For Zhang Tan, at this time, he also had to interrupt from his leisure and start to cope with the busy year-end summary.

On December 28, 2003, ——,, a pioneer of digital publishing in China founded in Tsinghua University and strongly supported by cultural celebrities such as Ba Jin and Yu Qiuyu, released the list of "Top 20 Popular Books in China in 2003" at 10 a.m. on the same day.

Five copies were released in five months, with sales of nearly four or five million, and it occupied the top position on the best-selling list of domestic books for more than four months.

Other works in the top 20 are Guo Han's "Hallucination" and "How Much Do You Know About the Red in Dreams", J.K., and Rowling's "Harry. Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", the combined popularity is not as good as "The Condor Heroes".

With such a strong momentum. On New Year's Day, the last volume of "The Condor Heroes" was grandly put on the shelves.

And Anwei Literature and Art Publishing House also arranged a huge book signing party for Zhang Tan in Beiqian as promised. At the book signing meeting, many reporters came, with long guns and short cannons to interview Zhang Tan.

The reporter's interview is still the same old tune, and most of them are asking about "Shooting the Condor". A small number of people asked whether the copyright of "Condor" was sold.

"It hasn't been sold yet, and there are already many film and television companies that want to buy adaptation rights at a high price, but I handed over the specific copyright operation to Luzhou Studio. If you want to know more about it, you can ask Li Yan, the general manager of the studio. ”

Zhang Tan coped with the reporters.

I entered the Beiqi Sanlian Taofen Book Center, and the book signing meeting was arranged here.

"The name Taofen is not good, it always reminds me of TFboy." Zhang Tan looked at the signboard of Sanlian Taofen and thought maliciously in his heart.

When I entered the bookstore, I was quickly taken to the basement floor by the staff.

The steps between the basement level and the first floor of the triple. Usually it will be filled with countless "readers" who only read books and do not buy books. This home is located in Living. Study. The biggest advantage of the bookstore in the Xinzhi Sanlian Bookstore building is that the reading atmosphere is very good, with soft music, pictorials and novels in hand, and you can spend an afternoon sitting down.

However, today's atmosphere has changed.

The readers who love to read have suffered because since the morning, many people have been pouring into the bookstore to buy the latest volume of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". They gathered in all corners of the bookstore, whispering.

"Hey. Did you also come to Tan Dada to ask for an autograph? ”

"Of course yes, I'm a die-hard fan of the Condor trilogy!"

"Is there a trilogy of Condor shooting? Isn't it just "Shooting the Condor" and "The Condor"? ”

"Of course there is a third part, but it hasn't been published yet, and when the detective comes, we'll find out what the third part is."

"The love between Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu is so bumpy."

"After watching "Shooting the Condor", I don't like Guo Jing a little, what about you?"

"I like it. Guo Jing has defended Xiangyang for several years, which truly interprets the meaning of the great man for the country and the people. ”

"I don't know what "Shooting the Condor" has become, I really want to see it."

"Will the bearded man finish filming "Shooting the Condor" and then shoot "The Condor"?"

"It depends on the ratings, and we'll all support it when the time comes."

"Isn't that for sure?"

These book lovers who came to ask for autographs gathered more and more. Not only does it occupy the space of the bookstore, but it also disturbs the readers who come to read the book. The readers who read the books and newspapers quietly glared at these book lovers, but it was useless, there were more and more people, and the voices became louder and louder.

"Can't you be quiet when you come to ask for an autograph! What kind of author, what kind of reader, no quality! A reader with a fashion pictorial in his hand couldn't help but complain.

A few little girls who were whispering next to them heard it, and one of them immediately couldn't help but sneer at each other: "Excuse me?" You can buy the magazine and read it at home, read it in the bookstore, and if you don't buy it, you can say that we are embarrassed. ”

"Who said I don't buy it! I'm just going to see if the content looks good or not! ”

"Then you've seen the last few pages, can't you tell if it's good-looking? I can't bear to buy it. ”

"Of course I can see it, this one is good! I'll pay now. The reader was excited by the girl, and immediately became enthusiastic, and went to the cashier on the first floor with the fashion pictorial in his hand.

But as soon as I walked to the cashier, I immediately remembered that I didn't bring any money when I went out today.

In an instant, the reader's face turned red, and he looked back weakly, but he didn't see the girls coming over, so he breathed a long sigh of relief, stood aside and finished reading the fashion pictorial, and then threw it in the bookshelf.

Stride out.

A few episodes, not enough to say.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, book lovers and fans were looking forward to it, Zhang Tan wore a decent casual blazer with a bright smile on his face, and walked to the basement floor of the bookstore under the guidance of the staff.

"Hello everyone."

"Wow, Detective!"

"Hello Detective."

"You're so handsome, Inspector."

"Detective, I want an autograph."

Excited book lovers greeted Zhang Tan with a gossip. (To be continued.) )
