Chapter 1526: Popularity and Group Photos

[The lonely sky is just singing, the lonely cold mountains and rivers are lonely, I miss a few thousand years of snow, who can I tell my thoughts to. 】

When celebrities get together to eat and drink, the key is a circle. Strictly speaking, talents of the same level can often sit together to eat, drink and so on. At this time, a few big stars may have dinner with some second- and third-rate stars, or even fourth- and fifth-rate stars.

For example, if we are filming together, or participating in some event together, and the organizer invites everyone to have a meal together, everyone must sit together. Basically, if the number of people is small, there will be no separate tables. But if there are many people, the high-status celebrities will definitely sit at the same table as the organizer, and the other people will sit at other tables separately.

This is a matter of unspoken rules. Unless there is someone who defies nature to guide you, it is generally difficult to change this unspoken rule.

And people like Zhou Huajian, who are at the level of kings, actually have to find ways to maintain their exposure.

This is a matter of shelf life. People like Zhou Huajian will definitely not worry about status. With so many classic songs, Zhou Huajian has long been invincible. If he had not committed suicide, his status would have been lost. People are shaken. This is the privilege of a king. For example, Teresa Teng, who has been dead for so many years, has always been a top idol.

As for Bruce Lee, it goes without saying that his movies are still sought after by many fans in the European and American rental markets. You know, it has been thirty years since Bruce Lee left us.

This is the status of the top king. Even after death, he can still have huge influence. What's more, Zhou Huajian is considered to be a pillar among the Heavenly Kings, and it's just an understatement to call him a young man.

But if he says that he will not increase his exposure, then at this time, his status in the entertainment industry will not be affected much. But if he is talking about commercial acting, or participating in movies, TV series, etc. If there are opportunities, then there are relatively few.

If these are relatively small, then the money will be relatively small. Therefore, if he wants to maintain his freshness, he must increase his exposure. Only when the exposure rate increases, the popularity will continue to increase, leading to more commercial performances in movies, TV series and the like.

This is something that even kings are not immune to, unless they reach the level of Jackson who has no desires and is strong, already standing at the top of pop music, not short of money, and having other opportunities to make money. Zhou Huajian is obviously not the kind of person who is strong without desire. He hopes that he can reach a higher level. In fact, let alone him, even Luo Dayou, Li Zongsheng and others are constantly pursuing a higher realm.

Later, Li Zongsheng, who had been silent for many years, also released a song like "The Hills" that people can never tire of listening to?

The agent nodded and said: "Of course this is the best. It's best to talk with Mr. Golden Eagle. Not to say that we can become friends, but at least to become familiar with each other. If this is the case, then when you arrive in Hong Kong Hong Kong, there is an excuse to visit Mr. Jin Yong, isn’t it? His Ming Pao still has a huge influence in Hong Kong City. If there is such a relationship, then at this time, what kind of publicity will be given to you? , it is a very good promotion.”

Naturally, it is not easy for a rich man like Jin Yong to visit him. It does not mean that if you are a celebrity and visit him, you will definitely be able to see Mr. Jin Yong. There must be a certain amount of communication, not necessarily familiarity, at least acquaintance, so that we can have this opportunity. For example, Zhou Huajian, a singer, and Jin Yong, a writer, are basically not very social, but they have sung songs by Jin Yong's works, and they have become famous all over the country. Therefore, even if the two people are actually related to a certain extent, if they are doing activities together at this time, not only as friends, but at least as familiar faces, they will be able to visit in the future.

Zhou Huajian nodded with a smile and said: "That's natural. I didn't expect to be lucky enough to meet Mr. Jin Yong. In fact, I have sung many songs from his martial arts novels. I really want to visit him, but there is no one like this." Opportunity, I just want to say that now I finally have such an opportunity." Just when Zhou Huajian was sighing, Ye Ming had already driven to pick up Jin Yong himself. Now Jin Yong still looks energetic and does not look like an old man. You know, Jin Yong is now eighty years old. But looking at the spirit, it's pretty good.

Ye Ming said with a smile: "The old man didn't expect you to come here. Even before you called, I never thought that you would come to our show." Jin Yong, Ye Ming used to be called Jin. Mr.'s name was later changed to Mr. Jin, and now he is simply called Mr. Jin. In fact, among writers, there are not many people named Jin Yong and Jin Lao, because most writers are unlikely to meet Jin Yong. Even if they do, the relationship is not very good. Calling Mr. Jin is already a polite name. .

Mr. Jin is one of the few writers of the younger generation who calls him Jin Yong. There are only a handful of people named Jin Yong directly. Even people like Ye Ming do not have such qualifications. This is a kind of respect, a kind of respect for senior writers. Perhaps among writers, there is only one person who is truly qualified to be called such a person, and who is recognized by Jin Yong. This man is called Chen Wentong, and he has a famous pen name called Liang Yusheng. Yes, this is Liang Yusheng, the pioneer of new martial arts novels.

When Mr. Liang Yusheng passed away in 2005, Jin Yong sent an elegiac couplet, calling him brother Liang Yusheng, not brother Chen Wentong. He is also a crazy, chivalrous and literary good friend. Those who feel inferior: Jin Yong, the younger brother of the same year, Jin Yong Jingwan] And when he wrote, Jin Yong still used the name Jin Yong instead of Zha Liangyong. This actually refers to the issue of the terms of communication between writers. It’s just that there is no writer named Jin Yong, or his pen name, after Liang Yusheng.

Although Liang Yusheng is not as influential as Jin Yong, Jin Yong himself admits that he feels inferior. In fact, it is also because of Liang Yusheng's personality. The old man has always been a stickler for the Confucian school, and his conduct in life is worthy of the title. He is a person of high moral character and integrity. No matter how in the mainland, he is also a person of both virtue and skill.

Therefore, Jin Yong signed the elegiac couplet because he felt inferior to his younger brother Jin Yong.

Jin Yong said with a smile: "I actually worked in the entertainment industry. In the film industry, I also worked as a screenwriter and wrote movie scripts. I just said that I did these things because I like other girls to live with, but they don't You liked me, and I stopped hanging out in this circle. Speaking of which, in this circle, I am also your senior."

This is the truth, but it is just a joke. There are not many people who can live up to his joke. At that time, while he was writing martial arts novels in the newspaper office, he also went to the film company to write scripts. In fact, it was because he liked Xia Menghua, the movie star at the time. At that time, he wrote "The Beauty" at Great Wall Film Company, and the starring role of this film was Xia Meng. It's a pity that King Xiang had a dream at that time, but the goddess had no intention.

Ye Ming also joked: "Yes, if you really work in this industry, I don't know how many screenwriters will have no job in the film market in the future, and half of the country in martial arts novels must have collapsed." Said that Jin Yong is a martial arts novel Half of the country, this is not an excessive metaphor. Before the emergence of online novels, Jin Yong could indeed be regarded as half of the martial arts novel writers. In terms of influence and ability to make money, Jin Yong could be regarded as the leader among martial arts novel writers. exists. Therefore, when Ye Ming said this on a question like this, he was convinced.

Jin Yong pointed at Ye Ming and said: "It's useless even if you try to flatter me. I'm just going to attend for fun. I'm just going to give you a spot. Don't expect anything else."

Jin Yong didn't understand Ye Ming's thoughts.

After all, Jin Yong is already eighty years old. The old man is definitely a thousand-year-old fox. Don't even think about playing Liaozhai in front of him. Writers are people who are good at pondering people's hearts, let alone an eighty-year-old writer. Therefore, when Jin Yong heard Ye Ming's words, he knew that this boy must want to think about something else.

Ye Ming naturally would not admit it, and immediately said: "It's impossible, it's impossible, how could I be so insidious? Old man, can you come and make a little evaluation of those young juniors?" It’s because they are convinced. You don’t need to talk about these players from a professional perspective, just comment on them directly as an audience. Finally, give awards or something, and it will all come together.”

Jackson was commenting on a professional level, but as for Jin Yong, Ye Ming wanted Jin Yong to comment on it from the perspective of an ordinary audience. In this case, at this time, there would definitely be a lot of viewers. I like to read Mr. Jin Yong’s comments.

Mr. Jin Yong got in the car, and while driving, Ye Mingcai said as if he had thought of something: "Old man, this time, there is another person here, Zhou Huajian, who has sung many of your movies and TV series songs. He also expressed to me, He has always wanted to visit you, but couldn't find a suitable opportunity. He feels honored to be able to participate in this show with you this time. When the time comes, you can listen to his singing live.

For example, the song "Sword is Like a Dream" has a considerable influence among martial arts novel fans, and even in the hearts of ordinary audiences. I personally like Sword Like a Dream the most, whether it is the Mandarin version or the Cantonese version. In terms of this song, among your martial arts novel songs, only Iron Heart and Canghai Yixiao can compete with this song. "

Three of the classic songs in Jin Yong's martial arts novels are the most classic. These three songs are A Laugh in the Sea, Iron-Blooded Heart, and Zhou Huajian's Sword Like a Dream. Of course, these three songs are also Ye Ming's three favorite songs.

Among the majority of Jin Yong fans, these three songs are almost in the top three. Jin Ying was very surprised and said: "Really? I have heard of this person and he is a good singer. However, I generally don't see many of these people. Let alone the person who sings the theme song. Later it is considered to be my work." I didn’t meet those actors very well. Although I have been in the entertainment industry, it was just for my own purposes. I still keep a distance from people in this circle."

This is indeed true. There are not many actors who can take photos with Jin Yong. The one that can be easily found on the Internet is a photo of Jin Yong with a third-tier female star when he was 90 years old. There is also a photo of Cheng Long and Jin Yong at an award ceremony. It is a shot of Cheng Long paying tribute to Jin Yong and awarding the award on behalf of everyone. Therefore, speaking of it, there are indeed very few celebrities who take photos with Jin Yong. Of course, there are not many celebrities who have taken photos with Gu Long.

The more common ones are the photos of Gu Long with Brigitte Lin and Zheng Shaoqiu at that time, and maybe the photos of Gu Long and Liu Dekai and Gui Yalei. It can be seen that the writer really said that taking photos with celebrities is not very good. At least that's what the old-school writers were like. If Gu Long hadn't reorganized the film company himself, he would probably rarely take photos with celebrities. The photo taken with Brigitte Lin and Zheng Shaoqiu was because of the movie "Midnight Orchid" shot by his own company.

In fact, writers writing novels and film companies making movies are two different creative concepts.

In the process of film creation, there must be secondary creation. Therefore, in fact, the writer has relatively little communication with his own novels, movies, TV series, etc. Of course, people like Gu Long who run their own film companies may be an exception. Jin Yong himself liked the movie actor Xia Meng, and later he went to work as a screenwriter at Great Wall Film Company. That was also an exception.

Ye Ming drove the car and persuaded: "Old man, in fact, you can't do this. You have stopped writing martial arts novels now, and you are not short of money for such a thing. I have plenty of money, so what if I don’t have some fun?

The entertainment industry is indeed a great place to have fun. Otherwise, how can we call it the entertainment industry? Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills. "

This person is trying to trick Mr. Jin Yong into coming in, but who is this old man? He has never experienced anything. Therefore, he directly refuses and says, "You kid, don't do this with me. I don't intend to play in the entertainment industry." Yes, what's so fun about this? I usually live a very fulfilling life. If there is a gathering in the literary circle, I will also meet old friends. But if it is a gathering in the entertainment circle at this time, then I usually don’t attend such gatherings.” (To be continued)
