Chapter 383 Female Audience Market!

Kyushu martial arts fever!

To be honest, in his previous life, Lin Qiu had never experienced the era of martial arts madness.

When Lin Qiu was young, the overall martial arts in China had gradually declined, which was quite regrettable.

But in this world, this regret has been made up.

Since the release of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Return of the Condor Heroes", not only has the enthusiasm for martial arts in Xiazhou been unprecedentedly high, but even the martial arts sales in the Kyushu market have reached an astonishing level.

Whether in the previous life or this life, these Kyushu audiences and readers are not interested in many local styles of Xiazhou, but martial arts are not the case!

Xizhou, Yingzhou, Mizhou...

Readers from all over the world have set off a wave of Xiazhou martial arts fever and are very interested in Xiazhou Kung Fu. Not only do many Kyushu readers go to understand Xiazhou culture in depth, but there are also a large number of Kyushu tourists who go to Xiazhou for tourism.

For a long time, Xiazhou has not been a focus in Kyushu, but the appearance of Lao Zei and Lin Qiu has fully displayed the charm of Xiazhou culture in front of the people of Kyushu.

As for the martial arts culture, it can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

The knights in the martial arts culture can be divided into the following categories according to their different cultural concepts:

Confucian knights who focus on the Confucian system, Buddhist knights who embody Buddhist cultivation, Taoist knights who embody Taoist concepts, and even non-knights who have no inclination, etc.

These categories are actually reflected in the stories of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

As for the people of Xiazhou, they have a deep national sentiment for martial arts culture!

The chivalrous morality advocated in martial arts culture is even more popular among the people.

So there is a situation that younger readers like "The Return of the Condor Heroes" more, and like the unparalleled love between Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu more. On the contrary, some older audiences like Guo Jing more. The greatest knights serve the country and the people!

Looking at Guo Jing, Yang Guo and other heroes, who are happy to avenge their enemies in the martial arts world, they are so cool and unrestrained. Readers seem to be in their era, pursuing not only stories and plots, but also spiritual satisfaction.

The spirit of this kind of martial arts novels has actually been passed down to real life, such as the brotherhood of valuing friendship and loyalty!

There is also the patriotism of serving the country and the people!

"Rob the rich to help the poor!"

"Eliminate violence and protect the good!"

"The greatest hero!"

"Serve the country and the people!"

...

There are many comments on "The Condor Heroes" and martial arts novels on the entire Xiazhou network.

Almost all authors in the martial arts circle have posted long articles, and each one makes people unable to help but read it word by word, as if they can feel the excitement from these martial arts authors from these words.

The old thief has brought too much to the martial arts world.

He has brought the most dazzling works that can be recorded in the history of Xiazhou martial arts.

He has brought a writing style that breaks secular concepts and is unconventional.

He has also brought so much attention and martial arts readers. Even if there is no way to ask for advice from this kind of person in person, the admiration is really like a surging river.

You know, the authors and readers who can always persist in the field of martial arts are all passionate from the heart.

A week after the release of The Return of the Condor Heroes, the aftertaste is still there.

Many martial arts authors have gained a lot of inspiration from it and started to create new martial arts novels. Similarly, they are looking forward to the last work of this martial arts trilogy - The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber!

…

Regarding The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, this work was actually quite popular in the past.

The most important reason is that the spread of the 2003 version of the TV series The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber is the product of Lin Qiu's youth. Whether it is Zhang Wuji, Zhao Min, Zhou Zhiruo and other characters, they are all deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The timeline of the second part of The Condor Heroes is different in that The Condor Heroes is actually the sequel to The Legend of the Condor Heroes, while The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber is based on Zhu Yuanzhang's uprising and the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, which is the background of the rise and fall of the Yuan Dynasty in history.

The Yuan Dynasty was established in 1271 and perished in 1368, less than a hundred years, which is quite short.

The battle of Xiangyang in The Return of the Condor Heroes was held in 1259, at the end of the Song Dynasty.

Zhang Wuji was born in 1338, and the complete storyline of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber ended in 1360.

Such a background is obviously very different from the previous two works.

This avoids a major reading defect in the sequel, which is the sense of expectation and the shaping of the world view.

In The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, while connecting with the previous work, a brand new world was created.

Familiar names such as Emei Sect, Shaolin Sect, Kongtong Sect, Kunlun Sect, Huashan Sect, Wudang Sect, etc. will appear in front of readers.

Zhang Wuji has always been a more complex character, very different from Guo Jing and Yang Guo.

Three books, three protagonists, three personalities.

This martial arts trilogy was destined to be a classic the moment it was written.

…

Mizhou.

The crew of "Manchester by the Sea" is preparing in full swing. In this movie, there are four main characters, the protagonist Lee, his wife Randy, his brother Joe, and the protagonist's nephew, who is also Joe's son Patrick.

The two characters with key roles and extremely high acting requirements are Lee and Patrick.

After a month or so of preparation, Bratt has completely adjusted his condition and is an extremely outstanding actor.

For the role of Patrick, Lin Qiu chose Ethan, a young actor who was only twenty years old and had made a name for himself in Michigan.

It's just that the first scene doesn't have Ethan's part, it's Bratt's one-man show.

"Brat, are you ready?"

"Phew! No problem!"

Brat blew his cold air and said to Lin Qiu.

The location where they are currently filming is not in Manchester by the sea, but in a small town in the northern part of the state, where snowflakes are falling in the sky.

The very beginning of the story tells the story of the male protagonist Li, who lives in the city and is a decadent cleaner who lives a miserable life. He receives news that his brother Qiao has died of a sudden heart attack.

The male protagonist, Li, lives in a haze, suffering and full of hatred, with basically no smile on his face.

After filming started, Bratt quickly found his groove. Even when he was shoveling snow in the snow and swinging a sled, he could feel the decadence coming from him.

Looking at Bratt in the camera, Lin Qiu and several members of the directing team around him all looked at each other and smiled, shaking their heads and smiling.

A good actor doesn't need too many lines at all.

In just a few actions, the character's personality is perfectly interpreted.

In the camera, Li is like a man who is outside this world. He ignores everyone, cherishes words like gold, and is too lazy to even speak. During the filming of the fight scene, Li was even more... Irritable and irritable, he doesn't care how much damage other people's fists cause him!

"th."

Even without any so-called flashbacks, Lin Qiu could feel the unique temperament of Bratt.

Until, Li heard the news of his brother's death.

"Action!!"

Lin Qiu gave the order and the crew immediately started operating.

Brat was shoveling snow when his cell phone rang in his pocket.

"Hello, I'm Li."

"Okay, I understand. When did it happen?"

"How is he doing now?"

"No...don't do that..."

There was a hint of crying in Bratt's voice.

Even if the content of the phone call on the other side is not captured, the audience can imagine it.

"Click——"

"Nice!"

…

"Manchester by the Sea" has officially started shooting. The filming period of the movie will generally not differ greatly from the estimated time, unless something goes wrong with the actors.

Although Bratt's appearance is not outstanding among the well-known young actors in Kyushu, he is a truly talented actor.

Facing the camera, there is no hesitation or deliberateness, it is natural.

Generally, veteran actors will be in this state after they have enough life experience and have spent most of their lives.

It is actually quite difficult to be able to meditate and engage in drama in youth, which is probably the most successful stage in life.

There are few scenes in "Manchester by the Sea" that are difficult to shoot, and it is expected to be successfully completed by the end of July.

…

The novel "Eternal Dragon Sword" will be released in July!

The TV series "Little Yu'er and Hua Wuque" will be broadcast at the end of July!

The movie "Nezha and the Devil Boy Comes to the World" will be released in July!

The anime "Attack on Titan" will be launched in August!

It can be said that this summer film belongs to Changan Film and Television Company.

So much so that now all the film and television companies in Xiazhou are one with three big ones!

Lin Qiu, an old thief, and two of the top figures in Xiazhou's entertainment industry, come back with such concentrated and powerful output, they seem to have monopolized the entire entertainment market.

You know, during last year's Spring Festival, Chang'an Film and Television Company had an adjustment, and now it is targeting the summer season again!

"Made!"

"What can I do!"

"It's impossible to win! This is the old thief's original script, and Lin Qiu directly used it to film! How can we win?"

The summer film and television drama market has always been huge, especially in the TV drama industry.

At present, there are only a few popular types of TV dramas in Xiazhou.

The first one is about anti-crime themes, targeting men.

The second type is the romance theme of fairy tales, targeting women.

The third type is the suspense theme of ancient costumes, which is a genre that has a general audience.

But no film and television company has ever paid attention to the "martial arts TV drama market."

Why do these film and television companies, who have spent so much money to create TV series, seem to be giving up before they are even launched? There is only one reason...

That’s the current “martial arts craze”! !

After the popularity of the two books "The Condor" and "The Condor" in the past two or three months, the craze for martial arts in Xiazhou has reached an unprecedented level!

It just so happens that a martial arts TV series that follows the martial arts craze, "Little Fish and Flowers" is on the summer schedule.

No matter which way you think about it, you all know that this is a very popular TV series.

You've already lost half of the game before it even started broadcasting. How can you fight like this? !

Moreover, "Little Fish and Flowers" is a TV series produced by another film and television company, so they may be able to expect the film to be terrible.

But is it possible for a work produced by Changan...

Still an original work by an old thief, directed by Lin Qiu...

Even more impossible.

This creative team makes these film and television companies helpless just thinking about it.

"Why……"

"what to do?"

what to do!

This is a big problem faced by many film and television companies. If it is released at the same time as "Little Fish and Flower", it will definitely lose traffic and attention. This is a proven fact.

"Move up the release date and broadcast it in June."

"Move up the release date!"

"Must move up the release date!"

Many film and television companies made the same decision almost at the same time.

The summer season is not the time when "Little Fish and Flower" is broadcast.

They can definitely move it to June and finish it before mid-July.

"Chang'an seems to have another fairy-tale TV series..."

"It's also very popular."

An assistant reminded.

"It's okay, it's okay if it's not directed by Lin Qiu..."

"Now Lin Qiu, even if he defends his thesis with a basin, this group of audiences will eat it happily! Hum!"

The person in charge of the Gilded Film and Television Company snorted and said.

In the past, Chang'an did not touch the big cake of the entertainment industry, but now Chang'an has gradually shown its fangs.

...

The fairy-tale TV series that is extremely popular in these film and television companies is naturally "Flower Journey".

This phenomenal Xianxia TV series, which set off a crazy craze in the previous life, was not only extremely popular, but also won many awards for TV series.

First of all, the audience of TV series like "The Journey of Flower" is not male, so male audiences have no way to evaluate it.

And many male audiences have the "gene" of devaluing others' aesthetics in their bones.

Different perspectives will lead to different appreciation and liking of things.

In the previous life, Lin Qiu, because he was an insider, naturally watched "The Journey of Flower".

As an individual, I am far from liking this type of TV series.

But it is undeniable that this is a phenomenal Xianxia TV series.

Any work, as long as it has a market, has its reasons. After all, not every audience goes to watch entertainment works to see the so-called "art".

If this is the case, the so-called "Marvel" series would not have such a high box office.

Lin Qiu has his own subjective aesthetics, but it does not affect the output of the work. For example, Lin Qiu's evaluation of the "Marvel" series is not high.

The superhero movies that really made Lin Qiu feel exciting and attracted him were the three Batman movies, especially The Dark Knight, not because of the plot, but because of the worldview of Gotham.

After having the system and entering the entertainment industry, Lin Qiu planned to complete the coverage of all types of works.

The novel industry, suspense, reality, martial arts, including science fiction and other types in the future, will be covered.

The same is true for the film and television industry.

Whatever type of entertainment works, Lin Qiu will come up with representative works.

…

There is nothing wrong with what these film and television companies think. After all, compared to a "god" like Lin Qiu who is at the peak of popularity, Han Lu's "The Journey of Flower" is naturally a persimmon that can be squeezed.

Just when Lin Qiu started filming "Manchester by the Sea".

In Xiazhou, a battle that was almost entirely participated by female audiences was completely launched.

Because this is Chang'an's new drama, and it is also Chang'an's first TV series that truly entered the female audience market, it attracted the attention of countless viewers once it was launched!

In the entertainment industry, women are more fanatical than men about chasing stars, because women are more emotional, so naturally capital will focus on female audiences.

This so-called "fanaticism" is a neutral word.

Because many male audiences chase stars not from the entertainment industry, but from the sports industry, or even the two-dimensional industry, and their "fanaticism" is no less than chasing stars.

Whenever it is a big season, when TV series are released at the same time, there will definitely be a big fight among fans chasing stars!

The quality of the works is their weapon.

…

The difference between male and female works is very intuitive.

Many people joke that in male works, the ultimate goal is to dominate the world, and in female novels, the ultimate goal is to fall in love, and dominating the world is also for falling in love.

Although it is not absolute, the overall tendency in female works can be seen.

This is not a problem with female authors, but a choice of the market.

The authors write what readers like to read.

In fact, the ratio of female readers of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Return of the Condor Heroes" shows that female readers prefer the main plot of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" with strong emotions.

"The Journey of Flower" is just like this, and it is a classic female-oriented sadomasochism.

...

Since the filming of the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" series, Lin Qiu has discovered that Han Lu, the director, is very good at portraying emotions and guiding actors. This time, "The Journey of Flower" has brought this to the extreme.

The story is about a little girl named Hua Qiangu who is not optimistic about her. Fortunately, she is accepted as the only apprentice by Bai Zihua, one of the most powerful people in the world of immortal cultivation.

The girl just admired her master at first, but later it turned into love. However, in the master's sect, immortal cultivators cannot have love.

The overall storyline revolves around this core.

From the warm daily life to the ups and downs, and then to the heart-wrenching relationship between the master and the apprentice, such a story is a hit for female audiences as long as it is filmed!

In the previous life, although "The Journey of Flower" was a TV drama in 2015, eight or nine years later, the popular female costume fairy tales are still the same, and the classic routines never go out of style.

Lin Qiu expected all these, after all, he had the experience of the previous life.

But there was one thing that Lin Qiu did not expect...

That is, "The Journey of Flower" took advantage of the popularity of "The Return of the Condor Heroes"! !

Why do I say this? It is because although "The Journey of Flower" and "The Return of the Condor Heroes" are one female-oriented and the other male-oriented, they both tell the story of the illicit love between "master and apprentice"! !

The depth and quality of the two works are naturally incomparable.

But to a certain extent, it poured a hot pot of oil on the flame of "The Journey of Flower"! !

In return, thousands of female audiences in Xiazhou burst into tears!
