Let’s be honest.
Originally, the students liked "Journey to the West" very much.
Even without official promotion from the literary and art association, everyone can enjoy watching it.
but…
When the literary and art association began to promote it, its nature changed.
Because the next painting style will become -
Please briefly describe your answers to the following questions:
Where did Tang Seng accept disciples
Please list the hardships that the four masters and apprentices experienced on their journey to obtain the scriptures. Just four will do...
The teacher will also assign homework:
Please read the full text of "Journey to the West" and write a reading review of more than 800 words.
Does it have that flavor
Damn it!
The previous "Fairy Tale Town" wasn't enough
You also thoughtfully wrote a book "Journey to the West" for us
The students' mentality collapsed...
There is too much homework to do, and no student who likes "Journey to the West" is innocent!
We are irreconcilable with the old thief Chu Kuang!
at the same time.
The industry was shocked!
No one expected that Chu Kuang's "Journey to the West" would completely suppress Honghuang and even receive official promotion from the Literature and Art Association...
That’s the prehistoric series!
Although "Hong Huang" is not considered a masterpiece on Blue Star, the story of Hong Huang has long been known to everyone because of the TV series and cartoons derived from it as well as the countless peripheral influences!
At this time, someone remembered the previous discussion:
"Everyone is saying that Chu Kuang's new book has to be as good as two volumes of Ghost Blows Out the Light to be the best..."
"How many episodes of Journey to the West can match Ghost Blows Out the Light?"
"There are more than two anyway!"
"Although the Ghost Blows Out the Light series is popular, Journey to the West was officially promoted, while Primordial Chaos has been trying for so long but has not been widely promoted by the official authorities."
"Judging from the amount of discussion and countless interpretations, Journey to the West is basically unsolvable!"
When the ending is reversed, everyone understands that "Journey to the West" will allow Chu Kuang to reach the top.
And in addition to being shocked.
Some people began to discuss whether the Journey to the West mythology would replace the status of Honghuang in people's minds.
“Yes, but it’s difficult!”
"Compared to The Great Desolation, Journey to the West has won the reputation and evaluation of people from all walks of life. Even the official obviously recommends Journey to the West as a student reading material. But don't forget how many years The Great Desolation has been developed."
"The TV series, cartoons and even music derived from the Honghuang series of novels have already influenced too many people through their daily lives. This is not something that Journey to the West can catch up with in a short period of time."
"It will take at least several decades for Journey to the West to develop to the level of Primordial Desolation."
"In addition, in the eyes of many people who don't like to read novels, Honghuang still has great appeal. The release of Honghuang series TV series and movies every year is the biggest proof of this."
"If a novel wants to maximize its influence, it must be promoted in various forms such as TV series, movies, and animations."
"If Journey to the West had been published hundreds of years ago, Honghuang would never have achieved the glory it has today."
"But there are no ifs in the real world. Journey to the West was released too late, so we have no choice but to catch up."
"It all depends on whether the TV series or even the cartoon of Journey to the West is good."
"For example, the old version of the Honghuang series of TV dramas has also received rave reviews, with Star.com rating it as high as nine points."
"I admit that Journey to the West is better than The Great Desolation, but that doesn't mean that after The Great Desolation, people will no longer like The Great Desolation."
"… "
These words are all true.
Although the confrontation between Journey to the West and Honghuang affected many people, the one that was trampled the most in the end was not Honghuang.
People still have deep feelings for the ancient times.
Everyone is stepping on those irrational Honghuang fans and the Honghuang Research Association who think they can represent Honghuang culture.
It’s just like no matter how successful Liu Xiao Ling Tong becomes, people still like the monkey he plays.
no way.
The power of sentiment and classics is too strong.
In a sense, the monkey is no longer played by an actor, but a real Monkey King!
Honghuang also has a similar meaning in people's hearts.
Honghuang is not equal to the Honghuang Research Association, nor is it equal to irrational Honghuang fans.
…
Of course, Lin Yuan also noticed the discussions outside.
He has been following this matter closely since Journey to the West was released.
Lin Yuan did not expect that Journey to the West would receive official promotion.
The Celestial Empire has a unique sentiment and identity towards Journey to the West, and the Blue Planet is a planet dominated by Eastern culture, so it is natural for everyone to easily fall in love with this story.
also.
Lin Yuan also read the interpretations on the Internet.
Ninety-nine percent of the interpretations have appeared on Earth.
But no one can tell which interpretation is correct, including Lin Yuan and the system.
Is it only Wu Chengen who can explain it clearly
Even this is controversial.
Because some researchers claim that Wu Chengen is not the original author of Journey to the West...
Countless mysteries also add to the appeal of "Journey to the West".
So it's obvious.
Lin Yuan will not respond to the outside world's interpretation as Chu Kuang.
Although in this world, who is the author of "Journey to the West" cannot be a question.
What really concerned Lin Yuan was the discussion about the comparison of influence between Journey to the West and Primordial Desolation...
This is closely related to Lin Yuan’s next plan.
Since Lin Yuan came up with the idea of promoting Journey to the West, he has already developed a relatively complete promotion plan based on the story of Journey to the West.
What some netizens said makes a lot of sense.
Whether it is Poirot, Sherlock Holmes, or the story of Journey to the West, if they want to gain national popularity, promotion through film and television is always indispensable.
After all, not everyone reads novels.
The reason why "Journey to the West" became so popular on Earth is not only because the original work is one of the Four Great Classics, but also because of different forms of art promotion, even including games.
"Jin Pei apologized..."
Jin Mu's words interrupted Lin Yuan's thoughts.
Lin Yuan subconsciously asked: "Who is Jin Pei?"
Kaneki's expression suddenly became strange. After all this time, you still don't even know who your opponent is:
"Jin Pei is a member of the Literature and Art Association, an expert in Blue Star Mythology Research, and the president of the Honghuang Association. The group of scholars who previously blasted Journey to the West was led by Jin Pei. He has a high reputation among Honghuang fans. For many years, he has regarded himself as the descendant of the author of Honghuang, but in fact, they just have the same surname. This matter has been exposed before, but it was suppressed in the end. On the contrary, this attack on Journey to the West caused him to suffer a lot of losses. He took the initiative to apologize because of this pressure..."
"oh."
Lin Yuan's reaction was indifferent.
Jin Mu suddenly shook his head and said, "Although he apologized under pressure, his appearance is still a bit ugly. He actually used the apology to hype up the Hong Huang TV series. I'm afraid the apology is fake, and the promotion of the new Hong Huang TV series is real."
As he spoke, Jinmu showed Lin Yuan a video.
The video appears to be a press conference.
A middle-aged man wearing glasses and with sparse hair that was full of oil said with a serious expression:
"It was wrong of me to criticize the novel before I read the story of Journey to the West. It was just because I loved the prehistoric culture too much. Like every prehistoric fan, I was at a loss in the prehistoric world I loved. I am sorry for that."
This middle-aged man is Jin Pei.
There were a lot of reporters on the scene.
Cameras and short cameras were shooting.
After a brief apology, Jin Pei changed the subject:
"Speaking of my love for Honghuang, I believe everyone shares my passion for it, because Honghuang is an indisputable legacy of Blue Star mythology, and the TV series it inspired has always been well-loved by the audience. However, with the advancement of the times and the development of the film and television industry, Honghuang also needs to be innovative, so we have been filming a new version of the TV series Honghuang for the past two years—"
"In the second half of this year, the new version of "Honghuang" co-produced by Qin Qi has been completed. As the screenwriter of the TV series, I will work hard to create a more exciting Honghuang!"
“Both the new and old versions are in bloom!”
"Promote the culture of the ancient times!"
“I hope everyone will pay more attention to it!”
While the video is playing.
Jin Mu said dissatisfiedly: "It's called an apology, but in fact it's just a few words at the beginning. The rest is a promotional conference for the TV series "Honghuang". Moreover, Jin Pei has been emphasizing that Honghuang is the orthodox mythology of Blue Star. This is really harsh to hear. If you don't know, you would think he is the author of the Honghuang series..."
Lin Yuan didn't say anything.
He returned to his previous thoughts.
The promotion of Honghuang is largely due to the TV series, and the promotion of Journey to the West by the Celestial Empire is also very dependent on the TV series...
Therefore, the old CCTV version of "Journey to the West" was a great success.
And this life.
Faced with the same problem of promoting Journey to the West, Lin Yuan was thinking about where to start, but Jin Pei reminded him:
Start with the most impactful ones!
Of course I have to make a TV series first!
At this time, a song suddenly sounded in the video of "Jin Pei's Apology Press Conference" which had not yet finished playing.
"It was a good apology meeting, but the content related to the apology was just one sentence, and in the end it was all TV series promotion. At the end, they even played the promotional song for the new version of the Honghuang TV series!"
Kaneki rolled his eyes and turned off the video.
Lin Yuan: “…”
This idea is not bad either.
Can you release the song in advance as a promotional song
