Chapter 680 The Undefined Writer

The seventh episode of "Star Moon Love Song" broke the previous record of "Love Through Time and Space", and the eighth episode broke the record of the previous episode.

But these two episodes directly set the audience on fire.

Ordinary viewers can only curse at the TV at home, or call the TV station and Deep Space Film and Television.

But netizens have another way. They put the main battlefield on the Chinese website of deep space.

When this TV series first came out, it attracted widespread attention. By the seventh episode, the attention has directly increased several times.

People who have never watched this TV series before can't ignore the news related to the TV series all over the Internet.

For viewers who joined later, it doesn’t matter if they didn’t watch the first few episodes, because besides Dolphin TV, there are several other satellite TVs that are broadcasting one after another, which basically guarantees that later viewers can start watching from the beginning.

At the beginning, other satellite TVs had some opinions because they failed to get the first broadcast, but later found that although they did not get the first broadcast, the ratings were still very high, much better than their other TV series, following Deep Space and Dolphin TV. I can also drink soup.

Chen Mobai only went to watch the TV series after seeing the comments on the Internet. After watching it, he wanted to slap himself because he happened to be stuck in the seventh and eighth episodes.

After watching these two episodes, he turned around and went to the Deep Space Internet to activate the troll mode.

[Chen Mobai: When I watched the first five episodes, I really felt that this TV series is very fresh and refined. Needless to say, the picture quality, Deep Space Film and Television has always been willing to work hard on the picture quality, and the same is true for the service.The childhood sweethearts of the hero and heroine meet each other in the city. The vague feeling makes people itch. When the hero and heroine meet on the rooftop in the fourth episode and the song "The Roof" sounds, I really feel special Well, I look forward to their being together in the next episode, but what I welcome in the next episode is...]

In the comments, Chen Mobai specifically mentioned the song "The Roof", which resonated with many netizens.

[Rolling in the cup: Really, as long as the song "Roof" appears in episode [-] and episode [-], I can't help but smile at the corner of my mouth, because I know the sweet moment is coming again. 】

[Printer: Well, I haven't heard this song before, but I can sing it after watching these two episodes. 】

[Master Ronald: That's right, I'm looking forward to the song "The Roof" playing again. 】

[No.1: I don’t know what the screenwriter thinks, is it always as bad as the previous episodes?It is best to remove both male and female characters. 】

[Qin Fengxia: The second male and the second female are so bad, I suggest that they just make a couple and stop being monsters. 】

[Princess Yuezhi: I look forward to hearing "The Roof" tomorrow night. 】

[Jin Kefan: Looking forward to it. 】

……

The song "Roof" appeared when the relationship between the hero and heroine was warming up. The scene at that time felt very sweet, so the audience connected this song with the sweet plot.

Now that "Song of the Stars and the Moon" is beginning to be depressed, the audience is looking forward to hearing this song again in "The Song of the Stars and the Moon".

There is also a wave of hot topics on the Deep Space Chinese website: Today, have you heard "The Roof"?
The popularity of the TV series has directly boosted the sales of albums that had already started to slow down.

After this surge, the global sales of "Jay Chou" exceeded 60 copies.

Of course, the so-called global sales are mainly in mainland China and China's Baodao, and even the Xiangjiang market has not yet been developed.

The sales volume of "Jay Chou" in Taiwan alone has exceeded 35, and the next step is to hit the sales volume of 50. Some people have already started to compare "Jay Chou" with "Conquer".

The album "Conquer" released in April this year directly made Naying overwhelm a group of female singers and dominated the major music charts.

According to incomplete statistics, the sales volume of this album has exceeded 200 million worldwide.

The sales volume in Taiwan is about 70, and in the Mainland is about 60. The two regions add up to 130 million.

However, it took less than a month for "Jay Chou" to exceed 60. If this momentum can be maintained, the sales volume in these two regions is likely to surpass that of "Conquer".

As for the sales in other regions, with the continuous promotion of Deep Space Company and the successive broadcast of "Song of the Stars and the Moon" in other regions, it will definitely not be bad.

……

On December [-]th, while Yu Dong was sorting out the outline of his new book, Cheng Yanqiu sat in front of the computer and laughed.

Yu Dong raised his head, Cheng Yanqiu said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry to bother you."

"No, why are you so happy?"

"Look at the comments from the netizens." Cheng Yanqiu pointed to the screen and said, "These netizens are so talented, just look at this—I fell in love with a song because of a drama, fell in love with an album because of a song, and fell in love with an album because of a song." I fell in love with a singer on the album... The singer is talking about Xiao Zhou. However, some people say that he fell in love with the song before watching the TV series. This winter, this album and this TV series have received too much attention. "

Yu Dong said with a smile: "It's very fulfilling, this album was promoted by you."

"No, my contribution is at most ten percent, at most."

Yu Dong smiled. It's hard to say how much Cheng Yanqiu contributed, but the pressure she endured was definitely not small.

Before, many people thought that because of Jay Chou's experience in classical piano, Cheng Yanqiu favored Jay Chou, so he pushed this album hard.

Although people didn't say it, Yu Dong knew that many people were waiting to see the joke, but the album was finally released, so the joke couldn't be seen.

The development of this album even exceeded Yu Dong's expectations.

Yu Dong predicted before that with the promotion of Deep Space Company and the addition of "Star and Moon Love Song", Jay Chou's first album should be able to break 100 million copies, but the data analysis given today shows that if the development goes smoothly, , the sales of this album are very promising to exceed 200 million copies.

From this point of view, the music era belonging to Jay Chou has arrived ahead of schedule, and compared to the previous life, it will definitely be more dominant because of the presence of deep space.

Having tasted the sweetness of being an episode, Yu Yu has already made plans for the next step. The script of "Beyond Names" handed over by Chen Weiwen last time has already started the plan, and plans to play another song in this TV series.

In this way, the songs can enter other countries and regions along with the TV series.

Cheng Yanqiu read the comments of netizens for a while, saw that Yu Dong had put down his pen, and said with a smile: "Actually, I don't understand one thing. I heard from Yu Liang that there are already some directors who want to find Xiao Zhou to make TV dramas or Movie, why don't you agree? Is it because you want him to make the company's script?"

Yu Dong smiled and said, "Do you want him to make TV series or movies?"

Cheng Yanqiu thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Unless he is very suitable for his role, he is not suitable, and I still hope that he can put more attention on music. But from a business point of view, he should really go to Make some film and television dramas. The current momentum is like this, for example, Ren Xianqi, who has been popular in the past two years, is also developing into the film and television industry."

"No, whether it's Jay Chou or other singers in the company, the development route will not be singing and acting, unless they are particularly suitable for acting, especially for creative singers."

……

In [-], Jinling ushered in the first snow of the year on the first day of the new year, while Paris, France, which was far away across the ocean, had a clear sky.

Modiano got up at six o'clock in the morning, then spent half an hour washing up, and another half an hour eating breakfast, and finally went out on time at seven o'clock.

Known as one of the three stars of France, Modiano seldom appears in the public eye. Compared with Clezio, who is more active, he is more mysterious.

But in fact, he is not a solitary person, but often walks on the street, among the crowds, observing all living beings and the world.

When he leaves the house, he doesn't deliberately think about facing left or right, but leaves everything to his first feeling.

Yes, as soon as he went out today, he saw an old woman wearing a flower scarf on his left hand side, and that flower scarf caught his attention.

Until eight or nine o'clock, he passed a bookstore.

On the first day of the new year, the bookstore, which shouldn't be lively, was overcrowded. He stood on tiptoe under the steps and looked around, only to find out that it was YU who had published a new book.

YU is a writer that is difficult to define. Modiano once thought that YU was a popular, popular and popular novelist, but after reading "Xiang Xi" and "Old Book", he changed his view of YU a lot.

In YU, Modiano can see the traditional expressive literary style of oriental writers, as well as the contemporary artistic technique of reappearance. However, neither "Xiang Xi" nor "Old Book" can Let Modiano strike a special resonance.

In addition to "Westward" and "Old Book", Modiano also read Yu Dong's "Second World".

And the reason why he read this book was completely tempted by Clezio.

Clezio had published a short article in a certain column before.

In that article, Clerzio denied that he was a writer of the New Allegorical School, and classified Yu Dong as one of the New Allegorical School, and also cited the example of "The Second World".

After thinking about it, he walked into the bookstore, picked up a copy of "Cursed", paid the bill, walked out of the bookstore, and then went home and locked the door.

When he reads, he likes to keep himself in a quiet environment. In addition to locking the door, he also puts a "Do Not Disturb" sign at the door to keep visitors out.

After watching for a while, Modiano frowned.

It's not that this book is bad, after all, he has only read less than ten pages, so he can't judge whether this book is good or bad, but the perspective at the beginning of this book makes him feel very special, like a detective novel .

In this regard, Yu Dong has a "convicted record". He once wrote a very best-selling mystery novel "Fatal Identity". Although Modiano has not read it, he knows a thing or two.

This opening is very appetizing for Modiano, because he often does it himself.

Almost every work of Modiano will set up a suspense, such as what is the identity of the protagonist Luo Lang in "Dark Shop Street" and what kind of experience he has. What is Dani's real identity in "Night Grass" and what is her troubled secret...

Many, many, Modiano likes to set up suspense, even to the point of being very obsessed.

And "Curse" set up a strong suspense at the beginning.

Why did the Liang family commit suicide?

Curse?
When seeing this, Modiano thought of the title of the book.

Soon, the book introduces a curse that has accompanied the Liang family for decades.

The following story somewhat exceeded Modiano's expectations.

In fact, this is not a story about damnation, but one of betrayal and redemption.

The story took place in the war years. Amidst the raging gunfire, the incorrigible side of human nature was exposed. Mr. Liang finally betrayed A Yuan, and at the same time he bore A Yuan's curse.

That curse was like a mountain, pressing on the heads of the Liang family. As time went by, it didn't get any lighter at all, and even got heavier, eventually causing tragedies for several generations.

It took Modiano half a day to read the entire "Curse".

When he closed the book, he sighed softly.

At first, he thought it was a suspenseful mystery novel. When he saw the middle, he felt a bit like magic realism, but at the end, he thought it was a traditional realism novel.

He has known for a long time that YU is a writer who cannot be defined.

This Cursed book is tangible proof of that.

Suspense reasoning, magic realism, neo-fableism, realism, psychological realism...

This bunch of things, if someone else uses them in a novel, might produce a nondescript hodgepodge, but Yu Dong can adjust them properly and put them together comfortably.

Staring at the title "Curse" on the cover, Modiano laughed.

Defining a writer is what those scholars do. He only needs to appreciate the works.

By the way, I don't know what kind of evaluation Gina will have on this novel. His daughter Gina showed him "Xiang Xi" before.

Modiano was very interested in Chinese characters and even studied them. Later, his eldest daughter Gina went to live in Yanjing for a period of time just to learn Chinese.

Now Gina lives in Sweden with her boyfriend and is about to get married.

He looked in the phone book for a while, finally found his daughter's number, and dialed it.

Gina was quite surprised when she received a call from her father. Hearing that Modiano had just finished watching "The Curse", Gina smiled and said: "Dad, I have already finished watching it in advance. If you ask me what I think, I will Tell you, this is a very great work. Dad, please forgive me, although I am your daughter, but I like YU more. He is a very colorful writer, and you are two extremes. Write a book, but he's different, he's always experimenting."

Gina's boyfriend smiled and said: "I am different from Gina, I still like you more, and I think your works are also very diverse."

Modiano smiled: "Thank you, Nick, but Gina is right, I have been writing a work my whole life."
