Chapter 607 Who Is Jin Yong?

Martial arts reached the peak of prosperity in the 1970s and 1980s. At that time, almost everyone read martial arts novels and everyone knew them. When mentioning several famous martial arts novelists and masterpieces back then, many people would open their mouths and be familiar with them.

But when the time entered the 1990s, with the decline of the older generation of authors, it was difficult to produce new ones, or they simply closed their pens, so that famous authors withered. A richer and more direct form of entertainment than martial arts novels—watching TV, thus, martial arts novels have gradually declined from their peak, especially in the past five or six years, there have been no good novels that have been widely circulated throughout the country, which are hard to find.

Until the appearance of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the author named "Jin Yong" quickly attracted the attention of countless readers and fans of martial arts novels all over the country.

By the time the third part came out, "Legend of the Condor Heroes" was already a hit nationwide!

Compared with the 1970s and 1980s, the total number of people who are still willing to read books in this era must be less, but you must know that people in their 30s and 40s needless to say, they are a generation that likes to read, and they have already developed the habit of reading. generation, and the younger generation, of course they like to watch TV series, watch movies, and listen to music, but good movies, good TV series, and even good albums are not available all the time, plus people who are still in school, in In terms of time, I am extremely unfree. Usually reading novels for entertainment and killing time is still a very mainstream form of entertainment.

Therefore, when it came to the finale of the fourth part, office workers talked about "Shooting the Condors", and school workers also talked about Guo Jing.

But now, when "Dragon and Babu" is released, with the famous author of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and the wonderful story in the first volume, although there is almost no publicity for this book, it is still popular. Immediately after the listing, it became popular!

It is an exaggeration to say that a book is hard to find. After all, considering that this is Jin Yong’s new book, and the publisher has reviewed the manuscript, they know that this book is really good-looking, so the stock for the first printing is sufficient, so naturally there is no need to worry about running out of books. available for sale. But everywhere is selling fast, there is no doubt about it!

In just one week since it was launched, the book has sold more than 1.2 million copies!

Orders from all over the world are still coming in like snowflakes!

Of course, the publishing house was so happy that it couldn't be heard from ear to ear, and the dealers and bookstores everywhere were also happy to sell it. Even many media, under the enthusiasm, began to pay attention to such a book that has attracted the attention of the whole people. novel.

Various newspapers published book reviews and reports one after another, and some magazines spared no effort to invite some famous martial arts masters from the past to write a column dedicated to commenting on the first volume of "Tian Long Ba Bu", which also led to a surge in newspaper sales!

Seeing that it is beneficial, everyone will naturally jump on their horses!

After reviewing the first volume of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", you can continue to comment on "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Jade Blood Sword, although that book is not as popular as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Dragon Babu", and its reputation is not as good as these two, but as Jin Yong's first work since his debut, it is still remarkable , it can be seen from a glimpse of the leopard, in fact, it can also roughly analyze the writing ideas of the writer Jin Yong, isn't it?

Moreover, this famous writer has finished commenting, doesn't it mean that I can't find another writer to comment again? It would be even better if there are two famous experts who disagree! Make room for you guys, let's argue!

Of course, the media is always supernatural, and the ideas of media reporters are always very divergent!

Jin Yong is so popular, everyone recognizes that he has brought a second spring to martial arts novels, so, it is not enough for writers to comment on it, so you can find a few more directors to comment on it!

After all, the so-called martial arts craze, the martial arts novels after the big sales must be very high-quality adaptation resources, maybe in a year or two, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" will be made into a TV series!

Ah, that's right, that's right, you can go and interview Li Qian. In recent years, as he has become more and more popular as the leader of the music scene, it is recognized by the domestic music scene, including the literary world. Literary talent is also very remarkable, and many of the lyrics he wrote are considered to be quite standard poems!

Then, you can ask, Li Qian, a great talent, does he have any idea of ​​writing novels in the future? Will you consider writing a martial arts novel? Also, as a director, how would he comment on Jin Yong's several novels, including "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Jade Blood Sword", and the just-released "Dragon and Babu"? Will you consider buying their film and television adaptation rights in the future?

So, after a few days, various interviews began to appear——

Liu Chengzhang:

"Oh, there's a new book coming out again? What's it called? Oh, "Dragon and Babu", a good name... But I haven't read this one, haven't had time, and I haven't heard of it. I'm busy preparing for a new movie recently, and it's about to start shooting. .It's just too busy!"

"Well, speaking of this author, I have read his "Legend of the Condor Heroes". I read this book first, and then I found "Jade Blood Sword" to read. Frankly speaking, he has made great progress! "Shooting the Condor Heroes" Compared with "Jade Blood Sword", "The Eagle" is simply a big step forward, a leap forward!"

"So, like you, I am also looking forward to his next book, but I can't do it now. I don't dare to watch it when he comes out. I have to wait until the new movie is finished before I watch it, otherwise I will be worried that his book will affect my thinking... "

"Of course I'm interested! I also contacted, but unfortunately I didn't get in touch. The publisher said that they signed a non-disclosure contract and could not disclose the other party's name, and the other party has no intention of selling the film and television adaptation rights for the time being, so we have to give up for the time being!"

"Yes, that's right! I like to make large-scale adaptations when I make movies, but I also read original stories, such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which is a very classical calligraphy. The skeleton is very complete and the structure is relatively rigorous. , I'm very interested, but you really let me shoot, I really don't think I can change too much, because the story itself is very complete and excellent! There is not much room for adaptation!"

Du Weiyun:

"Yes, I read it, and it's very well written, but Mu Wanqing's meme is too old! Mr. Du Zhenfu used it in the 1970s, and many people used this meme later, haha! But it's okay , even if it’s an old meme, it looks good when written!”

"Yeah, yeah, I'm interested! Of course I'm interested, we're currently in contact with Buyer! If I can get the author, Mr. Jin Yong's approval, maybe I'll direct it myself!"

"No, it's not a movie, or even if it is done, it must be made into a series of movies! But I still prefer to make "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" into a TV series. The overall structure of this book is very good, the book is long enough, and the story is ups and downs Ups and downs, it is very suitable for making a large-scale TV series! Hahaha...why, can I not direct a TV series? There is no division of film and television, I really want to try it! Let’s see if I can buy it! "

Zheng Yuan:

"Yes, I like this book very much. I have read his previous two books and I like it very much! If possible, I hope to play the role of Guo Jing. I really like this role! The great hero, for the country For the people, what you said is really good!"

Li Qian:

"Everyone, our investment is limited, and the shooting time is very tight. If I have any questions, I will answer you when I finish shooting this movie? Huh? Books? I thought you were going to ask Mommy! I don't have time to read books recently. , thank you! Security, close the venue..."

…………

In the last ten days of August, the two names Jin Yong and Tianlong Babu suddenly became popular in China.

At this time, the movie market is coming to the end of the summer vacation, Zhou Mo’s "Red Bean" is still dominating the record market, and Zhou Ye's new album "You Come Back" has suddenly become popular. On TV dramas and TV variety shows, Huaxia The TV station summer drama "Wu Zetian" ended with the highest ratings of 37.4%, which was not satisfactory, but it is already the best result of China TV this year. The special episode of Minghu Culture, and the 20 into 10 of each competition area that started broadcasting later, because of the addition of many links for audience interaction, coupled with the launch of quite innovative PK competitions, resurrection matches and other links, suddenly became popular, and the ratings rose from 10 to 10. % up and down, soaring all the way to 28%, breaking through 30% is only in sight!

And at this time, whether it is to use the opportunity to promote yourself or really like it, when many films are being promoted, when asked about "Tian Long Ba Bu" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", many people will make fun of it. Said that he had seen it, and gave him high praise.

Therefore, the book "Dragon Babu" became more and more popular!

But soon, when all kinds of marketing methods have been used, newspapers and magazines have racked their brains to think of topics, and it is no longer easy to think of them, a problem suddenly pops up——

So, we all say that the book is good, but the question is, who is Kim Yong?

what is his name? Where are you from? Which school did you graduate from? how old are you? Male or female? Are you married?

Also, did he have any other books before that? Is he currently writing books professionally? If not, what is his occupation? Why did he sign a non-disclosure agreement with the publishing house in the first place, strictly prohibiting the disclosure of any information related to him? Moreover, why did he insist on not selling the right to adapt his own works? Doesn't he want his works to be adapted into film and television works?

Know nothing!

Everyone knows nothing about all this.

However, media practitioners are very clear in their hearts. With Jin Yong's current domestic reputation at that time and the huge readership of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Dragon Babu", who can dig out these issues? Come out, it will directly detonate the sales of the newspaper!

Unfortunately, no way of knowing!

The reporters tried all kinds of methods, even offering high rewards, in an attempt to lure the staff and editors of the publishing house, but the problem is that the only piece of useful information that the editorial department can provide is: "Jade Blood Sword" sent the manuscript directly for submission, and was selected by the editorial department and the boss for publication. He didn't even come to the publishing house to sign the contract. He made an appointment with the boss, and the two of them went out for a cup of coffee. , and signed the contract!

And when it comes to the second book, it is done in the same way!

Of course, everyone can't see the contract. The General Administration of Publishing puts on record a pseudonym. As for the owner of the publishing house—he directly declined the interview!

A cloud of fog.

As a result, all kinds of speculations and rumors emerged one after another—some of them were even fabricated by the editors of many small newspapers themselves, but what they edited was well-informed and published in newspapers. Saying that I edited it or interviewed it in real life, in short, I just gave a paragraph of manuscript in such a muddle-headed way. You can guess whether it is true or not, and then many people believe it is true!

Some people say that Jin Yong is a university professor, and some people have more detailed information. According to the person who broke the news, the author Jin Yong is his good friend and college classmate. He is currently teaching in the Department of Literature of a domestic university. He is an associate professor and bishop. In Chinese classical literature, when "Jade Blood Sword" was finished, he even asked himself to help read the manuscript and so on.

The basis for this statement is: the author Jin Yong’s writing is good, and his rhetoric is quite similar to that of the ancients, so it can be seen that he has a good foundation in ancient prose. It is reasonable to say that he teaches classical literature in a university!

Others say that Jin Yong is actually a martial artist, and he still lives in a Taoist temple deep in the mountains. He never thought of writing a book, but seeing so many people writing scribbles outside, he doesn’t know any martial arts at all. , so he couldn't help but start writing novels. The first "Jade Blood Sword" was an exercise and it was not yet mature, but in the second book, he quickly found his own writing style, so it became very popular.

The basis of this statement is that it was not obvious in "The Sword of Blood", but it has already been seen in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". The description of martial arts moves and martial arts routines in the book is self-contained. People must be experts who have practiced martial arts, and they may even be a master.

But soon, a new statement came out.

It is said that Jin Yong is a high school teacher who teaches history and usually likes to study ancient Chinese history. Although he is only teaching high school, he has published many professional papers. It is said that many universities have invited him to be a lecturer in the past. However, he "resolutely refuses to give up" with great vigor.

As for writing martial arts novels, it's just a "little hobby" of others, not a main job!

Not to mention, as soon as this statement came out, it quickly won the approval of many people, and many of them were even famous martial arts experts in the past, or university professors, or professional writers for major newspapers.

Because the supporting point of this statement seems to be more reliable: "The Sword of Jade Blood", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and the "Dragon Babu" which has just published the first part, all have detailed historical backgrounds, It is completely different from the previous martial arts novels that have a large number of writing methods that have no historical background at all.

Therefore, even if Jin Yong is not engaged in history teaching, he must at least be an amateur history researcher!

There are so many people, they can't agree on what to do.

But who is Kim Yong?

Even the most resourceful reporter can't give an answer.

But all these disturbances outside did not affect the filming process of "My Sassy Girl" at all.

However, with the end of the summer vacation, freshmen are about to enter school. Although the shooting progress of the film is extremely fast, it was already the end of July when "My Sassy Girlfriend" started shooting. The length is initially scheduled to be two hours, so no matter how fast you rush, it is impossible to finish the shooting within a month.

But Lu Lingxi, the assistant director, had to go back to school.

But fortunately, apart from the time scheduled for her classes, she just stays at school every morning to deal with some things, and in the afternoon she will definitely ask for leave to go to the set to participate in the shooting, which is quite conscientious.

After more than ten days of filming like this, "My Sassy Girlfriend" is getting closer and closer to the completion of the whole drama.

***
