Lin Yuan was very grateful for the ideas provided by Jin Pei.
However, Jinmu gritted his teeth at Jinpei, his cousin.
And on the Internet.
This video of Jin Pei's apology has gone viral!
"Apologize to the old thief Chu Kuang: ×"
"Promote the Honghuang TV series: √"
"We agreed to make a public apology, but Jin Pei spent 99% of his time promoting the TV series 'Hong Huang'. In the end, he even played the promotional song for the new TV series. What kind of operation is this?"
"Jin Pei: You took advantage of the popularity of the prehistoric world by going to the West. Now wait and see how I can take it back!"
"It's really ugly to eat like that. Apologizing will sell the movie!"
"In this video, Jin Pei has been emphasizing the orthodox mythological status of Honghuang. Although he did not say that Journey to the West is unorthodox, his words are full of hints."
"How many scholars and experts were supported by the prehistoric times?"
"Didn't someone reveal before that this guy is not a descendant of the author of 'Hong Huang'? Why is he still drinking Hong Huang's blood?"
"… "
Journey to the West fans are angry.
Even passers-by kept shaking their heads.
Jin Pei’s apology would be worse than no apology.
He just casually mentioned "Journey to the West" and didn't even say specifically that he was apologizing to Chu Kuang.
The attitude is very perfunctory.
He then took advantage of the popularity of his apology to directly promote the new version of the TV series "Hong Huang", which caused discomfort to many people.
but…
I have to say that this promotion itself is quite successful.
The new version of the TV series "Honghuang" does have great appeal to people who like Honghuang culture!
also.
The new version of the promotional song for the Honghuang TV series played at the apology meeting also became a hit!
The song is called "Erlang".
Sung by Qizhou’s singing king Zhongli!
The so-called Erlang is Erlang Shen Yang Jian!
This song tells the story of Yang Jian.
Yang Jian is the character who is portrayed the most in the Honghuang series of stories and can be considered the male protagonist.
Coincidentally, Yang Jian also appears in "Journey to the West".
But no one accuses him of plagiarism because Erlang Shen is a very famous figure in Blue Star mythology.
In the folk myths before the Great Desolation, Erlang Shen was already very famous, and there are still Erlang Temples worshipped by the people today.
Coupled with the portrayal of the prehistoric male protagonist, Erlang Shen's popularity is absolutely skyrocketing!
In the minds of ordinary people, he is a mythical figure with extremely high popularity and favorability!
In the hearts of fans of Honghuang, the importance of Erlang Shen to Honghuang is roughly equal to the importance of Sun Wukong to Journey to the West.
It should be mentioned here that Honghuang is not the same as the "Investiture of the Gods" of the Earth.
It's just that some places and the background of the story are very similar.
so…
As soon as this song was released, it became an instant hit because it portrayed Erlang Shen very well and was sung by the king of singers!
“This song is amazing!”
“It feels like the song has brought out all of Erlang Shen’s experiences in the ancient times!”
"After listening to this song, I suddenly became interested in the new version of the TV series 'Hong Huang'."
“As far as character-specific songs go, ‘Erlang’ is definitely one of the best character-specific songs!”
"Honghuang fans were so moved after listening to the song."
"Although I admit that Journey to the West is great, Yang Jian from Primordial Chaos is the faith in my heart."
"Many myths have Yang Jian as their character, but the Yang Jian created by Hong Huang is definitely the best!"
"… "
As a promotional song, "Erlang" has awakened the enthusiasm of countless Honghuang fans!
actually.
This is also one of the reasons why fans of "Journey to the West" did not fly into a rage or curse but chose to remain silent after watching "Journey to the West".
In Chu Kuang’s Journey to the West story, Erlang Shen Yang Jian also appears.
The battle between Sun Wukong and Yang Jian was hard to resolve.
Chu Kuang did not arrange for Sun Wukong to have invincible fighting power just because he was the protagonist.
There is no plot like Sun Wukong beating Yang Jian.
Judging from the description of Erlang Shen in the novel, Chu Kuang gave Yang Jian full respect.
The fight between the two also ended in failure.
Because of some messy things in the middle that affected the fight between the two, they were unable to determine the winner.
Fans of Honghuang are already very satisfied with this arrangement.
Besides, fans of Honghuang also have their own pride.
The Honghuang TV series has a far-reaching influence!
Every song of Honghuang’s music is a classic!
These are incomparable to Journey to the West.
In simple terms:
Honghuang is a culture, and Journey to the West is currently just a novel!
…
Lin Yuan came to the company.
He wanted to make a TV series based on Journey to the West and had to ask the company for help.
After listening to Lin Yuan's opening remarks, Lao Zhou suddenly stood up from the sofa:
"You mean, you got the copyright of the TV series Journey to the West from Chu Kuang!?"
"Do you know Journey to the West?"
Lin Yuan thought Lao Zhou would ask what kind of novel "Journey to the West" is.
“What a joke!”
Old Zhou said seriously, "Even people who don't pay attention to the news should know about Journey to the West. Not to mention that this is the new book of Chu Kuang Lao Zei, the evaluation of Journey to the West by the Literature and Art Association alone is worthy of the attention of the film and television industry. This is a super masterpiece that has surpassed the evaluation of the Honghuang series. How many people are eyeing the film and television rights of this novel!"
Lin Yuan: “…”
The connection between the novel circle and the film and television circle is deeper than I imagined.
But how can you call me an old thief
You are much older than I am.
Old Zhou stared at Lin Yuan and asked, "Did you really get the copyright?"
Lin Yuan nodded: "I guess so."
Lao Zhou was shocked by the ambiguous words: "This is not a joke, you must really get it!"
Lin Yuan nodded again: "I really got it. I can basically get all his copyrights."
This leaves some room.
Lin Yuan suddenly thought:
Should I tell the company that I am Chu Kuang
Without revealing your identity, many things will be inconvenient to handle.
But this kind of thing cannot be done rashly, he needs to think about it again.
Xianyu can basically get the copyright of Chu Kuang!
Lao Zhou jumped up excitedly:
"It turns out that you and Chu Kuang really have such a good relationship!"
Everyone knows that Chu Kuang and Xian Yu have a good relationship.
But the company never asked Lin Yuan how good the relationship between Lin Yuan and Chu Kuang was.
Because this involves Xianyu's privacy.
The company has regulations, which are specifically set up for Xianyu:
No matter how high the position in the company, no one is allowed to discuss Xianyu's privacy too much, because from Xianyu's behavior, he seems to attach great importance to personal privacy.
Now it seems that the relationship between Xianyu and Chu Kuang is extremely strong!
This is encouraging news for Lao Zhou and even for the entire Xingmang!
You must know!
The copyrights of Chu Kuang's novels are extremely valuable, and all novels written by Chu Kuang will trigger a rush to buy by major film and television companies!
There are two reasons why Xingmang was not snapped up before.
First, Xingmang does not have a TV drama department, the company’s focus is on making movies.
Second, it is too difficult to obtain the copyright of Chu Kuang’s novels. With so many film and television companies competing for it, the price of Chu Kuang’s novel copyrights has been driven up to an extremely high level. Without a certain level of financial resources, you really can’t afford it.
But if there is a relationship with Xianyu, things will be different!
The food is right at my mouth!
The copyright of Journey to the West has been delivered to our doorstep!
What's the difference between this and meat pie falling from the sky
At this time, Lao Zhou didn't mention that Xing Mang didn't have a TV department...
For the sake of Journey to the West and Chu Kuang, why not set up a TV department!
Chu Kuang is worth it!
With the relationship between Xianyu and Chu Kuang, in the future...
Even if there is no such thing in the future, Lao Zhou is willing to set up a TV department just for "Journey to the West"!
Because the Literature and Art Association wants to promote "Journey to the West" globally!
All students must watch this!
The influence after this will absolutely be sky-high!
Turning down the opportunity because there is no TV department
Unless the top leaders of Starlight have all had their brains kicked by a donkey!
It’s not like I have no money!
Lao Zhou has no doubt that if Xianyu went out now and said that he has the copyright of "Journey to the West", countless film and television companies would fight over it on the spot!
"Then let's prepare."
Lin Yuan asked: "Who will be the producer of this play?"
"I'll do it. I'll also personally check the remaining director and other candidates!"
Lao Zhou didn't hesitate!
No one can snatch it from him!
Lin Yuan nodded: "The price of the copyright will not be too high, but just like the movie, the company will share the profits with me."
This was the plan that Lin Yuan and Jin Mu had discussed in advance.
Lao Zhou nodded: "Of course no problem!"
Lin Yuan was a little frightened by Lao Zhou's enthusiasm.
It seems that Lao Zhou has a clear understanding of the value of "Journey to the West".
Lin Yuan nodded: "That's it for now. I'll write the script later. I've already written the promotional song. The song is called "Wukong" and I'll sing it myself."
"Promotional song? 'Wukong'?"
Old Zhou was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became strange.
Isn't this the same style as the promotional song for the new version of the TV series "Hong Huang"
Old Zhou was happy.
He felt more and more how good the relationship between Chu Kuang and Xian Yu was—
This is clearly to avenge Chu Kuang!
And Xianyu sang it himself!
Xianyu’s move is no joke.
