Chapter XXVI

Generally speaking, actresses who have just graduated can take the lead in the big dramas invested by CCTV, and more than once, there is no need to guess, there must be a financier behind it!

Zhou Yang is no exception...

If you look at the projects she participates in, they are basically produced by the TV drama center...

As for who the owner is, Shen Mengxi is too lazy to ask so much, and he is not ready to stay with his parents, and he still cares about other people's emotional problems?

What's wrong, do you want to be a love saint?

Sending her to the car, Shen Mengxi went back to the room again to change into a suit, and then set off...

......

Sanlitun, Yuluxuan Tea House.

The decoration of the tea house is very classical, except for a few wall-mounted TVs in the central position, which are playing news at this time...

Near the railing, Ning Hao was drinking tea with Xu Zheng, and there was a script in front of him - "People in Embarrassment"...

"When will 'Stone' come out?"

Ning Hao: "It should be soon, I heard them say that they want to cooperate with Andy Lau's itinerary..."

Xu Zheng asked curiously: "Andy Liu?"

"He's a producer, and the biggest selling point of our show is that he has to be involved in the promotion of the film from beginning to end... That's what Dream Creek said anyway!"

Xu Zheng nodded: "This person is not simple!"

"Well, but he didn't let me participate in the promotion, he only asked me to cooperate, saying that the director is responsible for filming a good movie, and selling films is what should be done for distribution and publicity..."

"I mean, he can handle the distribution casually, it's not easy, do you know much about him?"

“... It's not much, I only know that he is from the Literature Department of Nortel 02, and has written two novels, "Rose Red Lotus" and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp"..."

"I know that, too..."

The three words 'Rose Red Lotus', 'Ghost Blowing the Lamp', and 'Shen Mengxi' are hot words in recent months, and it's understandable that outsiders don't care about it, and there are few insiders who don't know...

Ning Hao waved his hand, changed the topic, pointed to "People in Embarrassment", and asked, "What do you think of this script?"

"It's okay, it's funny!"

"So you've decided to star?"

“... Well, I'm fine anyway, and it's good to pick up a movie. ”

"I heard him say that I want you to be a director!"

“... I?director?"

"Why? Didn't you always want to be a director?"

"That's a 4 million investment..."

At this moment, the TV hanging on the wall sounded: At 8 o'clock on November 1, Beijing time, several large book malls, including Shoutu and Central Bookstore, will sell "Ghost Blowing Lantern: Longling Maze" at the same time...

From the scene footage, we can see that there is a long queue in front of these bookstores, and book fans gather in front of the bookstore, waiting for the author of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" to appear more than 20 minutes later.

"Ghost Blows the Lantern" is a collection of treasure theft, adventure, legend as one of the popular genre novels, what do experts say about this kind of novel sweeping the market?

Let's listen to the views of Professor Meng Fanhua, a researcher at the Institute of Literature of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences...

Then a bald old man came out and said: "I watched "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", in a word: I really feel vulgar and boring!"

In fact, tomb robbery novels have always been one of the reserved varieties of Chinese classical literature, "Sou Shen Ji", "Taiping Guangji", "Liao Zhai Zhi Wei", these well-known ancient works have the figure of "tomb robbery". But the tomb robbery novels written by those young people on the street are very shallow, not much different from toilet literature, and it should be called toilet novels. ”

"It is essentially a kind of overall sexual obscenity and blasphemy against antiquity. ”

"History, wealth, and cultural traditions are already full of scarnation, and now these artistic imbeciles are arbitrarily manipulating ancient objects, events, and even people, ignoring the reality and substance of history, and digging at will to beautify and demonize the two extremes, just to attract a little more readers' attention. ”

"Literature should be derived from life and should be higher than life, and these so-called tomb robbery literary works, the plot is absurd, neither reasonable and logical antiquity and its remains, but also the real archaeological wind and cattle have nothing to do with it, just in vain squandering a boundless passion and imagination, so that themselves and readers into a crazy reading realm, like smoking the opium of God. ”

"Now that the chaos in the cultural relics market is not conducive to the protection of ancient sites, "Ghost Blows the Lantern" encourages tomb robbing, and I am worried about this!"

Ning Hao: "... Tsk, the experts are here again!"

"Don't listen to them... Let's go see Shen Mengxi at night, shall we?"

"Well, let's figure it out, how to shoot this scene!"

......

At the same time, at the signing meeting, Shen Mengxi's face was almost stiff with laughter, and his hands hurt badly...

For three hours in a row, I kept signing autographs, and by the way, I said 'thank you for your support'...

At half past eleven, I finally signed the last book.

A group of people surrounded Shen Mengxi and prepared to leave...

The book "Ghost Blows the Lamp" accounts for more than half of the KPIs of Baihua Literature and Art this year...

In charge of this signing event is Chen Guangming, who is also the editor of Baihua Literature and Art Publishing House, responsible for proofreading "Ghost Blowing the Lantern"...

"Looking for a place to eat?"

"Well, I'm a little hungry too!"

While walking and chatting, Shen Mengxi asked, "Where is the next signing?"

"In Shanghai, the day after tomorrow!"

"The day after tomorrow... Okay, I'll prepare..."

It's a bit tight, Shen Mengxi came to Beijing not only to sign and sell "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", but also to arrange the promotion of "Crazy Stone" and get "People in Embarrassment"...

As soon as the words fell, the way was blocked by several media, and he couldn't wait to poke the microphone into Shen Mengxi's nose: "Shen Mengxi, what is your response to the expert's words?"

“... What specialists?"

"They criticized 'Ghost Blowing the Lamp' as toilet literature, unnutritious... And its popularity will bring bad readers and make people ignore the law..."

Where is this?

Shen Mengxi paused for a moment and replied: "Popular literature, the pursuit of entertainment, not learning professional knowledge, writing it is for people to watch, some people like to read it, there must be people who don't like it, whether he is cultural garbage, toilet literature or not, I have no opinion!"

"Strange and bizarre stories and novels have existed since ancient times, and the 'unscientific' worldview still has a deep influence from ancient times to Jin. All kinds of legends are also a major feature of China, but are they all boycotted because they are not scientific enough? There is no need to go online!"

"As for what encourages tomb robbing... I think they haven't read my novels, and if some people believe that what is written in the novels is true, they should also believe in the dangers of the tomb, how can they go to the tomb so easily?

After a few simple responses, Shen Mengxi left...

In fact, there were also voices criticizing tomb robbery genre novels in the original time and space, but later, it was gone...
