Chapter 678 The Undefinable Writer
The seventh episode of "Love Song of Stars and Moon" broke the record set by "Love Through Time", and the eighth episode broke the record of the previous episode again.
And it was these two episodes that made the audience's heads burn.
Ordinary viewers can only curse in front of the TV at home, or call the TV station and Deep Space Video to curse.
But netizens have another way. They put the main battlefield in deep space.
When this TV series first came out, it attracted widespread attention. By the seventh episode, the attention had increased several times.
People who have never watched this TV series cannot ignore the news related to the TV series that are all over the Internet.
For viewers who join later, it doesn’t matter if they haven’t watched the first few episodes, because in addition to Dolphin TV, there are several other satellite TVs that are broadcasting one after another, which basically guarantees that subsequent viewers can start watching from the beginning.
At first, other satellite TV stations were quite dissatisfied because they failed to get the first broadcast. However, they later discovered that although they did not get the first broadcast, the ratings were still very high, which was much better than other TV series they broadcast, following Deep Space and Dolphin TV.
You can also have some soup.
Chen Mobai watched the TV series only after reading the comments online. After watching it, he wanted to slap himself in the face because it happened to be stuck in the seventh and eighth episodes.
After watching these two episodes, he turned around and went to the Deep Space Network to activate troll mode.
[Chen Mobai: When I watched the first five episodes, I really felt that this TV series was very fresh and refined. Needless to say, the picture quality. Deep Space Film and Television has always been willing to work hard on picture quality, and the same goes for the moralization. The male and female protagonists are childhood sweethearts, going around in circles.
Meeting each other in the city, the vague feeling makes people feel itchy. When the male and female protagonists met on the rooftop in the fourth episode and the song "Rooftop" played, I really felt very good and looked forward to them.
We can be together in the next episode, but what I get in the next episode is...]
In the comments, Chen Mobai specifically mentioned the song "Rooftop", which resonated with many netizens.
[Rolling in the cup: Really, whenever the song "Rooftop" comes on in episode 4 and episode 5, I can't help but smile, because I know the sweet moment is coming again. 】
[Printer: Well, I’ve never heard this song before, but I can sing it after watching these two episodes.]
[Ronald: That’s right, I’m just looking forward to the song “Rooftop” playing again.]
[Person 1: I don’t know what the screenwriter is thinking. Isn’t it bad to keep doing like the previous episodes? It would be better to remove both the male and female characters.]
[Under Qin Feng: The male and female are so bad, I suggest they just become a couple and stop acting like monsters.]
[Princess Yuezhi: Looking forward to hearing "Rooftop" tomorrow night.]
【Jin Kefan: Looking forward to it.】
…
The song "Rooftop" appeared when the relationship between the male and female protagonists was heating up. The scene at that time felt very sweet, so the audience associated the song with the sweet plot.
Now that "Love Song of Stars and Moon" has begun to depress, the audience has begun to look forward to hearing this song in "Love Song of Stars and Moon" again.
There has also been a wave of hot topics in deep space: Did you hear "Rooftop" today?
The popularity of the TV series has directly boosted album sales, which were already slowing down.
After this wave of impact, the global sales of "Jay Chou" exceeded 600,000 copies.
Of course, the so-called global sales are mainly in mainland China and China Treasure Island, and even the market in Xiangjiang has not yet been developed.
The sales volume of "Jay Chou" in Baodao alone has exceeded 350,000. The next step is to hit 500,000 sales. Some people have already started to compare "Jay Chou" with "Conquer".
The album "Conquest" released in April this year directly allowed Naying to overpower many female singers and dominate the major music charts.
According to incomplete statistics, the sales volume of this album has exceeded 2 million worldwide.
Sales volume in Baodao is about 700,000, and in mainland China is about 600,000. The total sales in these two areas is 1.3 million.
It only took less than a month for "Jay Chou" to exceed 600,000. If it can maintain this momentum, its sales in these two regions are likely to exceed that of "Conquer".
As for sales in other regions, with the continued advancement of Deep Space Company and the successive broadcast of "Love Song of Stars and Moon" in other regions, it will definitely not be bad.

On December 20, when 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, and Cheng Yanqiu said embarrassedly: "I disturbed you."
"No, what makes you so happy?"
"Look at the comments from netizens." Cheng Yanqiu pointed to the screen and said: "These netizens are so talented, look at this - falling in love with a song because of a drama, falling in love with an album because of a song, falling in love with a song
I fell in love with a singer during the album... The singer is Xiao Zhou. However, some people say that I fell in love with the song first and then watched the TV series. This winter, this album and this TV series have attracted too much attention.
"
Yu Dong smiled and said: "It feels like a sense of accomplishment. It was you who promoted this album."
"No, my credit only accounts for ten percent at most, at most."
Yu Dong smiled. It's hard to say how much credit Cheng Yanqiu deserves, but the pressure she endured was definitely not small.
Many people used to think that Cheng Yanqiu was particularly partial to Jay Chou because of his classical piano experience, so he pushed hard for this album.
Although people didn't say it, Yu Dong knew that many people were waiting to see the joke, but the album was finally released and the joke was no longer visible.
The development of this album has even exceeded Yu Dong's expectations.
Yu Dong previously predicted that with the promotion of Deep Space Company and the bonus of "Love Song of Stars and Moon", Jay Chou's debut album should be able to break one million copies. However, the data analysis provided by Yiliang today shows that if the development goes smoothly
If so, this album is very likely to sell more than two million copies.
From this point of view, Jay Chou's music era has arrived ahead of schedule, and compared to the previous life, it will definitely be more dominant because of Deep Sky.
Having tasted the sweetness of doing an episode, Yiliang has already made plans for the next step. The script "In the Name of Other People" that Chen Weiwen handed over last time has already started the plan, and he is preparing to put another song in this TV series.
In this way, the songs can be introduced to other countries and regions along with the TV series.
Cheng Yanqiu read the comments from netizens for a while. Seeing that Yu Dong had put down his pen, he smiled and said: "Actually, there is one thing I don't understand. I heard from Yu Liang that there are already some directors who want to find Xiao Zhou to film TV series or movies.
Movie, why don’t you agree? Is it because you want him to film the company’s script?”
Yu Dong smiled and said: "Do you hope he will make a TV series or movie?"
Cheng Yanqiu thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Unless it fits his role very well, he is not suitable, and I still hope that he can focus more on music. But from a business point of view, he really should go
Make some movies and TV dramas. The current momentum is like this, for example, Ren Xianqi, who has become popular in the past two years, is also developing into the film and television industry."
"No, no matter whether it is Jay Chou or other singers in the company, the development path will not be singing and then acting, unless they are particularly suitable for acting, especially for singer-songwriters."
…
In 1999, Jinling received its first snow of the year on the first day of the New Year, while far away across the ocean, Paris, France, had clear skies.
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.
Modiano, known as one of the three stars of France, rarely appears in the public eye. Compared with the other more active Clezio, he is more mysterious.
But in fact, he is not a solitary person, but often walks on the streets, among the crowd, observing living beings and the world.
When he leaves home, he doesn't think about whether he should face left or right, but leaves everything to his first instinct.
Yes, as soon as he went out today, he saw an old woman wearing a flower scarf on his left hand side. That flower scarf caught his attention.
Until eight or nine o'clock, he passed by a bookstore.
On the first day of the New Year, the bookstore that shouldn't be busy was overcrowded. He stood under the steps and tiptoed to take a look, only to realize that YU had released a new work.
YU is a writer who is difficult to define. Modiano once thought that YU was a popular, popular, popular novel writer, but after reading "Xiang Xi" and "Old Books", he changed his view of YU a lot.
In YU, Modiano can see the traditional literary style of Eastern writers that emphasizes expression, and he can also see the contemporary artistic techniques that emphasize representation. However, neither "To the West" nor "Old Books" can
Give Modiano a special resonance.
In addition to "Going West" and "Old Book", Modiano also read "The Second World" by Yu Dong.
And the reason why he read this book was entirely due to the temptation of Clezio.
Clezio had previously published a small article in a column.
In that article, Clézio denied that he was a writer of the New Allegorical School, but classified Yu Dong as a New Allegorical School writer, and also cited the example of "The Second World".
After thinking about it, he walked into the bookstore, picked up a copy of "Curse", paid the bill, walked out of the bookstore, then returned home and locked the door.
When he reads, he likes to be in a quiet environment. In addition to locking the door, he will also put a "Do Not Disturb" sign at the door to keep visitors out.
After watching it for a while, Modiano frowned.
It's not that this book is bad. After all, he has just read less than ten pages, so he can't judge whether this book is good or bad. It's just that the perspective at the beginning of this book makes him feel quite special, like a detective mystery novel.
.
At this point, Yu Dong has a "criminal record". He once wrote a very best-selling mystery novel "Fatal Identity". Although Modiano has not read it, he knows a little bit about it.
This opening suits Modiano very well, because he often does this himself.
Almost every work of Modiano sets up a suspense, such as what is the identity of the protagonist Luo Lang in "Dark Store Street" and what kind of experience he has had. What is the true identity of Danni in "The Grass of the Night"?
What, what is the secret that troubles her...
Many, many, Modiano likes to set up suspense, even to the point of being very obsessive.
"Curse" sets up a strong suspense at the very beginning.
Why did the Liang family commit suicide?
Curse?
When he saw this, Modiano thought of the title of the book.
Soon, the book revealed a curse that has followed the Liang family for decades.
What happened next was beyond Modiano's expectations.
In fact, this is not a story about curse, but a story about betrayal and redemption.
The story takes place in the war years. Amidst the heavy artillery fire, the unforgivable side of human nature is exposed. Mr. Liang finally betrays A Yuan and bears A Yuan's curse.
That curse was like a big mountain, weighing on the heads of the Liang family. As time went by, it did not get lighter at all, and even became heavier and heavier, ultimately causing tragedy 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 suspense mystery novel. In the middle, he felt it was a bit like magical realism. But at the end, he felt that it was a traditional realism novel.
He has long known that YU is a writer who cannot be defined.
This book "The Curse" truly proves this.
Suspense reasoning, magical realism, neo-fabulism, realism, psychological realism...
If this pile of things were used by others in a novel, it would probably result in a hodgepodge without any characteristics, but Yu Dong was able to adjust them appropriately and put them together comfortably.
After staring at the title "Curse" on the cover of the book, Modiano laughed.
Defining a writer is a matter for scholars who only need to appreciate the work.
By the way, I don’t know what kind of evaluation Gina will have on this novel. His daughter Gina showed him "Westward" before.
Modiano was very interested in Chinese characters and even studied them. Later, his eldest daughter Gina went to Yanjing to live for a period of time just to learn Chinese.
Now Gina lives in Sweden with her boyfriend and is about to get married.
He searched in the phone book for a while, finally found his daughter's number, and dialed it.
Gina was quite surprised to receive a call from her father. She heard that Modiano had just finished reading "The Curse". Gina smiled and said: "Dad, I have finished reading it in advance. If you ask me what I think, I will
Let me tell you, this is a very great work. Dad, please forgive me, although I am your daughter, but I prefer YU. He is a very colorful writer, and you are two extremes. You have been there all your life.
Write a book, but he is different, he is always making various attempts."
Gina's boyfriend laughed beside her and said: "Gina and I are different, I still like you more. I think your works are also very diverse."
Chapter completed!
