050 Jin Yong and Wang Shuo
"Sister Li, I have good news for you today." Ye Fan said to Zeng Li on the other end of the phone.
Zeng Li asked curiously: "What good news? Does it make you so happy?"
Ye Fan said coquettishly: "It's good news for me, but it may not be good news for you."
When Zeng Li heard that Ye Fan was cheating again, she gritted her teeth and said in a bad tone: "Ye Fan, if you are like this, I will hang up!"
"No, Sister Li, I was just joking." Ye Fan heard this and said quickly: "I don't have to take the art exam, I can be recommended to the Chinese Opera."
Hearing that Ye Fan could be recommended, Zeng Li asked in surprise: "What? Are you going to be recommended to the Chinese drama? When?"
"It's today. Grandma Chang, the teacher Chang Li from China National Theater, came to tell me today." Ye Fan said, "No, I told you right away. Sister Xin and the others don't know it yet.
.”
Zeng Li heard that Cao Xin didn't know the news, but Ye Fan told her immediately. Zeng Li had a sweet smile on his face, and his tone became gentle and said: "Why is it so sudden? I haven't heard you say it before.
, it seems that a lot of things have happened during this period, please tell me quickly."
"That's it..." Ye Fan heard the change in Zeng Li's tone and silently gave himself a thumbs up, then told him the whole story. Of course, Ye Fan definitely didn't have any secret schemes.
explain.
"That's right, Xiao Fan, you are really amazing." After listening to this, Zeng Li said with an envious look on his face: "That means that Grandma Chang is the examiner for next year's Chinese Opera Arts Examination?"
'YES!' When Ye Fan heard that Zeng Li was also called Grandma Chang, he felt that he had already succeeded halfway. He couldn't hide his smile and said: "Yes, she may still be our class teacher. I saw someone today and felt like
Very nice people.”
I don’t know if Zeng Li will want to strangle him to death when he thinks of Ye Fan’s words in the future when he is tortured to the point of ecstasy due to the performance homework.
"I still don't know if I can pass the exam. The cultural class is too difficult." Zeng Li heard Ye Fan's words and said unconfidently: "And you don't have to take the art exam. It's just me. I'm afraid that I won't be able to perform well then."
good."
"Just because I don't participate, doesn't mean I can't accompany you to participate!" Ye Fan said as he remembered Zeng Li's experience in the art exam, and secretly swore in his heart that he would never let it happen again.
So Ye Fan continued: "And with your professional level, there will definitely be no problem. If they don't recruit you by then, I won't go to the Chinese drama."
I don’t know if Chang Li and Cui Xinqin, after hearing Ye Fan’s words, would not be able to help but remember the Earth Exploding Star for Ye Fan.
Although Ye Fan's words seemed very pretentious, they still made Zeng Li very happy.
A bright smile appeared on Zeng Li's face, but it was a pity that Ye Fan could not see this beautiful scene for the time being.
Zeng Li said excitedly: "That's not possible. Regardless of whether I pass the exam or not, you have to go. What a great opportunity this is."
Ye Fan could feel Zeng Li's happiness through the phone, and he teased Zeng Li for a while before Ye Fan hung up the phone.
Then Ye Fan thought that he had nothing to do in the afternoon, so he was going to go to his parents' room to look at his bankbook and see how much savings he had now. After all, with regard to his subsequent royalties, Ye Fan simply asked Zhang Yue and Zhang Xing to connect, and he just
When you remember, ask.
It has been more than a year since Ye Fan's "Xiu Chun Dao" series was released. Although "Kunlun" has a larger number of words, it is also a set of four volumes, but the price is slightly higher. The full set is priced at 80 yuan, and one volume is priced at 80 yuan.
20 yuan.
Some time ago, when Ye Fan took his mother to Huayi Publishing House to sign the contract for "Cang Hai", his uncle told Ye Fan that the sales of the two novels "Kunlun" and "Xiuchundao" both exceeded one million
.
The sales volume of "Xiu Chun Dao" can exceed one million, thanks to Wu Yusen's help at the beginning, and the price of one copy is not high.
When Ye Fan heard that the sales of "Kunlun" could exceed one million, he was grateful to Wang Shuo for his assist, although the way of assisting was not so friendly.
In this era, Wang Shuo is still very famous, and it is not an exaggeration to call him one of the elders in the Beijing circle.
Although he also cooperates with Huayi, Wang Shuo is now famous and well-connected. Huayi is just one of his collaborators, and it is nothing to him.
Although "Kunlun" is more expensive, due to its reputation as a northern-style domineering singer and the bonus of Jin Yong's style, the content is more exciting, so the audience is wider, and sales have increased rapidly.
When the sales of "Kunlun" were rising, Wang Shuo happened to be promoting his collection of essays. So when a reporter asked him what he thought of this best-selling novel, Wang Shuo said unabashedly: "Jin Yong's novels have a lot of popularity.
I will look down on anyone who thinks they have bad taste. "Kunlun" is worse than Jin Yong's novel."
Well, when Ye Fan heard what Wang Shuo said in advance, he even brought him with him, and he was immediately overjoyed. This was not to take the initiative to stir up the topic, but to compare him with Jin Yong's novel to help promote it.
?
Sure enough, when the media reported Wang Shuo's words, it actually increased the sales of "Kunlun", and for Ye Fan, it might have other effects.
However, Wang Shuo did not suffer. Once his "Wang Shuo's Collected Works" was released, sales reached a new high.
So Ye Fan once again published a paragraph in the "Yanjing Evening News" as an author:
"I have liked Mr. Jin Yong's novels since I was a child. My martial arts novels were also influenced by Mr. Jin Yong's works. I am very grateful to readers for being loved by them. I have heard of Mr. Wang Shuo, but I am young and my family does not
Let me read his works. If I have the opportunity to read them in the future, I will read them carefully and find out my own shortcomings."
How could Ye Fan have never read Wang Shuo's novel? So when Wang Shuo saw this old hermaphrodite, he became furious and yelled at Ye Fan in front of his friends.
After all, as the elder of Yanjing, he certainly knew something about Ye Fan's situation.
Wang Shuo knew that Ye Fan was not only a native of Yanjing, but also had some connections in his family. In addition to his young age, his speech in the newspaper could not be found to be problematic, so he did not respond, but he recorded the matter in
heart.
And many people who have read Wang Shuo's works couldn't help but smile knowingly after reading Ye Fan's words. After all, anyone who has read Wang Shuo's novels understands everything.
When the news reached Hong Kong Island, many Hong Kong readers who had read Wang Shuo's novels hoped that Northern Pai Ba Chang would take a quick look at it. They especially wanted to see Northern Pai Ba Chang affected, so that the martial arts novels he writes in the future would be more effective.
Maybe he can become Liu Beiwen.
After Mr. Jin Yong heard the news, he responded to Ye Fan's words in Ming Pao: "Thank you to the author of the Northern Song Dynasty for liking my work. I read "Kunlun" and it was very well written. "Canghai"
You have broken out of my style and created your own path. I hope you can write better works in the future."
As for the other things, Jin Yong didn’t mention a word, so you taste it, taste it carefully!
After Ye Fan saw Mr. Jin Yong's response, he silently gave Wang Shuo a thumbs up. This helped. When "Kunlun" was so controversial, Jin Yong didn't even speak, which made Ye Fan want to talk to Jin Yong.
I don’t even have a chance to know Yong.
But thumbs up, thumbs up, Ye Fan can take advantage of the situation this time, but Wang Shuo said so, Ye Fan is not a good temper, but now Ye Fan can't afford to offend Wang Shuo, it doesn't mean that he can't take revenge in the future,
Moreover, you can first take revenge on that talented girl from the Beijing circle and get some interest back later.
So Ye Fan immediately asked Huayi for help. After getting Mr. Jin Yong's phone number, he called him and thanked Mr. Jin Yong for his help and support.
Jin Yong confirmed with Ye Fan that he was indeed only 15 years old and lamented that Ye Fan was a formidable young man. He then encouraged Ye Fan on the phone and the two ended the call.
After the media heard Jin Yong's speech, coupled with Wang Shuo and Ye Fan's remarks, the reports became even more crazy. It was like giving "Kunlun" a wave of free advertising, causing sales to skyrocket!
Moreover, the media had various interpretations. Ye Fan also saw an entertainment newspaper that interpreted the meaning behind his remarks very accurately, which made Ye Fan very much hope that Wang Shuo could also read this newspaper.
Therefore, even though it was released late and priced at a high price, the sales volume of "Kunlun" has naturally exceeded one million copies...
Taking into account Huayi's previous help and friendship, as well as his uncle's relationship, after Ye Fan negotiated with Huayi, the royalties ratio for "Xiu Chun Dao" and "Kunlun" will not be adjusted this year, and will remain 10%.
Starting next year, the royalties ratio for the two novels will be increased to the same as "Cang Hai".
Therefore, when Ye Fan got the bankbook and saw that there were more than 2.6 million in deposits, he came up with the idea of building a courtyard house again.
After all, there is no exam pressure. Before promoting the album, Ye Fan can start wandering around...
------Digression-----
I checked that in 1995, 8,944 types of literary books were published, with 126.96 million copies published, but the sales volume could not be found. In 1996, Zhao Zhongxiang's autobiography sold 1 million copies in one year.
