Chapter 110 "Hurry" is coming
The biggest shortcoming of genre writers is that apart from the specific readers who like the genre, it is difficult to win over other readership groups. Before I Yehou was such a typical genre writer, now "Jieyou Grocery Store" has been successfully released After changing this situation, Hou Yehou will become a popular writer in the future. This is very important to Lin Zhibai.
Because "Jieyou Grocery Store" has no genre restrictions.
Whether everyone likes science fiction, mystery, or horror novels, etc., they can still read this book. This is the biggest advantage of popular novels!
This is a crucial step.
Bi Yehou must and can only be an all-round writer. Only then can this vest truly rise and exert its influence as a writer to the extreme——
The transformation is now successful.
Lin Zhibai has already begun to think about what to write for his next novel. He currently has two novels, "Malice" and "Secret", both of which are also works by Keigo Higashino. It seems a bit like grabbing the wool of a sheep. ?
Lin Zhibai had to make a choice.
At present, I am more inclined to write "Secret" next.
Because "Malevolence" is going to pioneer narrative trickery and its influence will definitely be greater, the ultimate move must be released as late as possible, but let's wait for the market to digest "Jieyou Grocery Store" first. A formal decision can be made.
It is already mid-April.
Jiangcheng called me that day.
"Boss, the sales volume of our "Jieyou Grocery Store" has exceeded one million. In just a few days, it has surpassed "Biyehou Short Story Collection". Now Buyehou can be called a best-selling author. , how much royalties can you get from this, it’s much better than serializing short stories in magazines!”
Jiang Cheng’s joy was beyond words.
Lin Zhibai was not surprised at all. It is indeed easy to cultivate die-hard fans for dark, horror and horror movies, but the subject matter has natural limitations, and the sales volume will definitely not be comparable to "Jieyou Grocery Store".
Finished talking about the novel.
Jiang Cheng said: "Now that the first season of "I Am a Singer" has ended, our income has dropped a lot. Does the boss have any plans or arrangements next?"
"I am considering."
Lin Zhibai asked: "How are you doing there?"
Jiang Cheng smiled and said: "There have been a lot of companies asking me to cooperate recently, but all of them want to do variety shows with us Kunpeng..."
There was a pause.
Jiang Cheng seemed to have guessed something, "The boss has a new variety show plan in hand?"
Lin Zhibai said "hmm" and said, "Still considering which company to cooperate with, what do you have in mind?"
Jiang Chengxin said that it was indeed the case, but now he was not as surprised as before. He smiled and said: "The people at Gale Media have been in closer contact with me recently. We can consider cooperating with Gale as a priority."
“Is the wind blowing...”
Lin Zhibai thought for a while and said, "I'll send you the new variety show planning project, so you can try to contact them."
Finished.
Lin Zhibai directly sent the planning project for "If You Are the One" that he had just written recently to Jiang Cheng.
"receive!"
Jiang Cheng quickly talked about another thing: "The Shinhwa TV Department contacted me and said that the editing of "Crazy" has been almost completed, and the drama is expected to be broadcast next month."
"I see."
Lin Zhibai couldn't help but look forward to it. "Crazy" is coming. This is Kunpeng's first TV series. When this TV series becomes popular, he can negotiate cooperation with major companies for other TV scripts he has!
After hanging up the phone.
That afternoon.
Lin Zhibai was writing the novel "Secret" at his residence, and his father Lin Dong suddenly liked him in the family group.
Xiaohei: [What’s wrong? 】
Lin Zhibai also liked his father after seeing it.
Dad: [You know the TV series I filmed before. The editing is almost completed. Now we just need to post the soundtrack. I told your sister about it. After all, she is the head of the music department. Then you My sister said that I would either let you be in charge of the soundtrack for this drama. Of course, the premise is that the quality of the work must meet the standard, otherwise it will not pass the company's test. Dad, the director, only has half of the decision-making power in this matter. 】
The fat water does not flow to outsiders' fields.
Of course, the music for the TV series shot by the company must be handed over to the people of the company. This is profitable, so my father and sister hope that Lin Zhibai, the "White Emperor", can take advantage of this profit. After all, everyone in the family can Just support each other.
His!
Lin Zhibai was stunned for several seconds, and then suddenly slapped his head hard. He actually ignored this. How could he forget about the soundtrack of "Cyclonus"?
Fortunately, this drama was produced by my father.
For the dramas my father shoots, I will definitely find my sister to score the music, and my sister will definitely think of me. If there is no such interlocking relationship, wouldn’t it be left to other composers of Shinhwa without even knowing it? Doing the soundtrack for "Rush"?
Money is secondary.
The main reason is that if the score of this drama is handed over to others, the uncertainty is too high. Lin Zhibai himself has the original score, so of course he has to make it himself.
He agreed immediately.
Then his father called. Lin Dong didn't know that the drama "Kurst" was actually written by his youngest son. He also introduced the outline of the plot incessantly, so Lin Zhibai could only pretend to listen attentively.
“Can you do it?”
Lin Dong asked curiously after finishing speaking.
Lin Zhibai said: "I will make a few more sets of soundtracks. After I finish them, you can listen to them and see if they suit you."
Of course it’s appropriate.
Lin Zhibai could directly customize the original soundtrack with the system, but this is not interesting enough. The TV script was given to him, so why not just send him the soundtrack, and spend an extra amount of reputation to customize it. Fortunately, the soundtrack is not a hassle, so this The soundtrack of this drama is mainly pure music. In addition, there are two popular songs. One is the theme song "Nothing to Hide", the singer is Na Ying, Lin Zhibai had to find a female singer to sing it.
The other song is "Listen"!
This song actually appeared very rarely in the drama, but in the end it became very popular and became Gao Qiqiang's exclusive BGM among netizens.
Lin Zhibai planned to let Lin Shouzhuo sing.
Just like that, a few days later, Lin Zhibai and his father met at the company and directly asked each other to listen to the soundtrack he had made for "Crazy".
Lin Dong didn’t speak and plugged in his headphones to listen.
The first paragraph.
Second paragraph.
The third paragraph.
After listening to all the music, Lin Dong looked at his son and finally showed a satisfied smile:
"sure!"
Lin Zhibai smiled, this matter is settled, and then we can look forward to the broadcast of "Crazy".
…
Shinhwa Entertainment has released the preliminary promotion of the TV series "Kurst".
Shinhwa Entertainment produces, invests in, or produces too many TV series every year, and the industry simply cannot pay attention to them. Only those works with particularly high investment or a strong enough behind-the-scenes lineup can attract everyone's attention, and the drama "Crazy" just doesn't. The cast is good but not top-notch, and the investment is high but it hasn't exceeded 100 million yet.
is. When the show was first promoted, except for the attention paid by fans of the actors, there was not much discussion in the industry.
until…
Some insiders saw the four characters "Kunpeng Investment" in the producer column of this drama!
Kunpeng Investment?
Recently, you have seen the name of this company frequently in popular topics related to variety shows, and you are already familiar with it.
Immediately.
Someone sent the screenshot to various groups in the industry.
“Kunpeng Investment has cooperated with Shinhwa Investment again! But this time the cooperation is not a variety show, but a TV series!”
Crash.
Evening time.
The industry is getting excited!
“Kunpeng Investment is not engaged in variety shows, so why has it produced a TV series? The business they are involved in is too complicated, isn’t it?”
“Is Kunpeng the producer?”
“Then the script was also provided by Kunpeng Investment?”
“It’s a script invested by Kunpeng. Look, the name of Hou Yehou is written in the screenwriter column!”
“Who is the Nightless Hou?”
“Bu Yehou is Kunpeng’s contracted writer!”
“Some time ago, I saw that Kunpeng’s official account was used to promote the new book of Hou Yehou.”
"The new book is probably "The Worry-Free Grocery Store". I was reading this book recently. The author is indeed Wu Yehou. This writer is quite powerful. I didn't expect this person to write scripts."
"Depend on!"
“What kind of company is this?”
"Originally I thought Kunpeng Investment was involved in variety shows, but then they signed the singer-songwriter Chu Ci, which shows that they are also involved in music. Then they signed the writer Wu Yehou, and I didn't understand it. , I was thinking about how this company has developed variety shows and music, and music and novels, but now, they even have TV series!"
“Kunpeng is doing everything!”
"This is the first time I have seen this kind of investment company. They produce various contents on their own and then seek cooperation from the three major companies. But isn't the step too big? Aren't they afraid of being ridiculous? After all, apart from variety shows, other I haven’t seen them achieve anything.”
"yes."
“Since you have made achievements in variety shows, let’s focus on variety shows first. How can you spread your presence in the entertainment industry?”
“Incomprehensible.”
"Look at the performance of this drama. Since Shinhwa is willing to make it, it shows that it has merit."
“This company is so weird.”
Everyone originally positioned Kunpeng Investment as a "variety show producer", but now this positioning has gradually become blurred.
…
While the industry is paying attention to Kunpeng’s involvement in TV dramas.
The novel world.
Some people also noticed this drama—
Because the screenwriter of this drama is the writer Fu Yehou who recently made a successful transformation and became a best-selling author with the work of "The Worry-Relief Grocery Store"!
It’s in full swing.
Suddenly I discovered that this best-selling author actually wrote a script, and the TV series was filmed and ready to be broadcast. Of course readers and writers in the novel circle were surprised!
Reader circle.
“I used to lament that new writers like Bu Yehou are often very productive in the early stages of their debut, but I didn’t expect that he was already so productive that he started writing scripts!”
“I’m looking forward to it.”
“I was watching "The Worry-Free Grocery Store" recently. The writing was really good. Since he is also a screenwriter, I would like to watch this drama."
“I’m curious, is this screenwriter Hei Yehou or Bai Yehou (dog head)?”
“Hahahahahaha, I read the promotion, it’s a police drama, I guess it was written by Hei Yehou.”
“That’s not necessarily the case.”
“Let’s wait for this drama to be aired. The promotion says it will be scheduled for next month!”
"This drama is called "Crazy". I feel that the title of this drama is very domineering, isn't it?"
…
Writers Circle.
Similarly various discussions.
“Why did this Nightless Marquis become a screenwriter?”
“It’s normal for a writer to become a screenwriter. There are many big names in our circle who both write books and work as screenwriters. However, it is rare for someone to become a screenwriter before they have even written many novels like Hou Yehou.”
“There’s something about this guy.”
“The fact that Shinhwa is willing to film his script shows that the script he wrote shouldn’t be bad, which makes me look forward to what kind of plot he can come up with.”
“Is it because of his reputation as a writer...”
"Then you are overthinking. The filming cycle of TV series is very long. This drama should have been filmed last year, but at this time last year, Nighttime Hou was not very famous, so it has nothing to do with fame. It's just that Shinhwa chose the script. .”
“Is this a police drama?”
“Bi Yehou’s novels have already crossed two categories, and the police drama is the third category..."
“What a great newcomer.”
“Don’t rush to a conclusion, let’s take a look at the popularity of this drama first. It’s my first time to write a script and cooperate with three major companies of this level. I’m very curious about what he wrote for this drama.”
They are all curious.
The film and television industry is curious.
The variety show industry is curious.
The novel world is also curious.
