Chapter 190: Novel Adaptation Boom

On the second day, Cao Kun's bribery continued to ferment.

The Federation of Chambers of Commerce in Shanghai and the Chinese trade unions sent telegrams to denounce the bribed elected President Cao Kun.

More than 3,000 people from more than 60 organizations unanimously opposed Cao Kun's bribery of the president.

On October 7, dozens of organizations, including the Shanghai Labor League, the Students' Federation, and the Business Maintenance Association, held separate meetings and issued telegrams denying bribery of President Cao Kun and calling on the whole country to unanimously condemn the thieves.

Lin Zixuan also symbolically participated in some activities, but he knew that protest was the least powerful means.

The Beiyang government has been eroded to this point, and it has military power in its hands, and no one can do anything about them.

In the following days, Xu Zhimo and Hu Shi went to the editorial office of Taidong Bookstore to visit the people of the Creation Society.

After returning, Xu Zhimo lamented the difficulties of the office environment and life of the Creation Society, believing that this was the main reason for their frivolity and rebellion in literature, and made a long speech.

Lin Zixuan was extremely speechless to this rich boy.

It's really a full man who doesn't know how hungry a man is hungry.

If Xu Zhimo is allowed to fall to the point of embarrassment like Guo Moruo, he will run around for life every day, he will also complain, be rebellious and frivolous, and want to break out and change the world.

In fact, Xu Zhimo's current expenses are all provided by his family, and his manuscript fee is completely insufficient for his own use.

In history, after he and Lu Xiaoman got married, they fell out with their family, and the family's economic supply was interrupted, so he could only lecture around to make money, and he had to work several part-time jobs.

At that time, he would be able to understand Guo Moruo's current situation. I won't say such cool things anymore.

In terms of publishing, Hu Shi talked with Wang Mengzou, the owner of Oriental Library. Wang Mengzou couldn't offer more favorable conditions than Lin Zixuan, he had to make money after all.

But Wang Mengzou is a shrewd businessman. He is keenly aware that the cooperation between Vientiane Book Company and World Book Company will bring about a change in the pattern of Shanghai's publishing industry.

The monopoly of the Commercial Press and Chung Hwa Book Company will be challenged.

So, under the recommendation of Hu Shi, he found Lin Zixuan and wanted to join this alliance.

Oriental Memorial Library has more than 100 distribution offices across the country, and is also a distributor of Peking University, and is well-known in the publishing industry in Shanghai.

Lin Zixuan agreed, and the three bookstores joined forces, and they barely had the strength to compete with the Commercial Press.

This matter was perfectly resolved, and the writers of the Crescent Society were free to publish their books in any of these publishing houses.

That's it. Hu Shi hurried back to Hangzhou, and he still had to get together with Cao Chengying.

He even had the idea of going back to Beiping to file for divorce from Jiang Dongxiu, and this idea became stronger and stronger.

Lin Zixuan invited Xu Zhimo to watch a movie, which is China's first martial arts film, the first episode of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was filmed and released on the same day.

This "Iron Blood Danxin" mainly talks about the deeds of Guo Xiaotian and Yang Tiexin, as well as Guo Jing's growth history.

Because "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is a household name in Shanghai and has a huge readership, it has aroused a strong response without much publicity.

What's more, Lin Zixuan also advertises on the radio every day.

The whole movie is shot roughly. Especially in the desert section, there is no place in Shanghai that is too empty, and there are not so many horses to show the grassland scenery.

It's not that there are no horses in Shanghai, but there are many racetracks. But it's too much of a waste of money to go in and shoot, so you can only do it casually.

One of the highlights of this movie is Huang Rong, although many viewers know that Meng Xiaodong plays Huang Rong. But I still want to see what Huang Rong looks like in the movie.

The second is the design of the martial arts scene, what kind of internal force. Hidden weapons must be shown.

How to express internal forces?

It often appears in later Hong Kong films, and it is very simple. When the two sides fight, a pair of palms touch together, indicating that they are competing for internal force, and then smoke comes out of the palms, or smoke comes out of the head, indicating that the internal force is deep.

This is especially true when it comes to avoiding drugs.

The protagonist sits in a wooden barrel filled with water and starts exercising, and after a while, smoke rises on the protagonist's head, and the water is also foggy, exaggerating a little to make the water tumble directly.

This shows that the internal power has the effect of heating the water temperature.

Although I know it's fake, the audience can intuitively feel the existence of internal power when watching it.

Huang Rong will not appear until the second half of the story, Guo Jing leaves the desert, meets a little beggar, invites her to dinner, gives her gold and silver, and then the little beggar helps Guo Jing save the day.

Meng Xiaodong's acting is not bad, after all, this is just an entertainment movie, and the requirements for acting skills are not high.

At the end of the movie, Huang Rong changed back into her daughter's costume and rowed a boat to see Guo Jing.

Lin Zixuan took special care of this plot, and he used the scene where Zixia Fairy just appeared in "Journey to the West".

In a field of reeds, a woman rows a boat leisurely, with melodious music, more like an oil painting.

This is Huang Rong's first women's clothing appearance, so naturally she has to shoot beautifully, otherwise no one will watch the next episode.

All in all, the audience is still very satisfied, Meng Xiaodong's appearance is amazing enough, his eccentric personality, slender figure, and Wu Nong's soft language all make people feel that this is Huang Rong in their minds.

Of course, there are also preconceived relationships.

Lin Zixuan doesn't have to worry about the box office for this movie, this is the benefit of adapting the novel to the movie, as long as it is not a mess of filming, readers will basically buy it.

The popularity of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" made other film companies see the opportunity, and some film companies even came directly to Lin Zixuan to shoot "Dragon Babu", which is still being serialized.

Lin Zixuan directly refused, how could he do such a thing to help his competitors.

As a result, many other best-selling martial arts novels have been targeted by film companies and want to be adapted into movies, and Xiang Yiran's "The Legend of Jianghu" is among them.

This is something that Lin Zixuan can't stop, and in later generations, this is called the boom of novel IP adaptation.

In Japan, the earthquake caused severe damage, and many fundraising events were held in the Japanese literary world.

Japanese writer Hikaru Imakhito and Yasuki Kawabata went together to visit the sick Akutagawa Ryuyukai, who was suffering from illness at this time, and the three often went to the scene of the disaster to learn about the disaster.

On this day, they found a lot of supplies from China in the disaster area, and they were curious, so they went to the local disaster relief department to learn about the situation, and when they came to the local police headquarters, they found that there was not only a large amount of rice and flour, but also a lot of books.

The books were piled up on the floor, and no one cleaned them up.

The three of them stepped forward and looked through them, most of which were Chinese books.

Yasuki Kawabata found a Japanese book in it, and he took it out and looked at it, and it was called "Snow Country". (To be continued.) )
