Chapter 632 Art Peak(2/2)
"Comrade Chaoyang is right. In this regard, I can give you some reference opinions, and take the Liaoshen Battle mentioned in the novel as an example.
As one of the 'three major battles' of the War of Liberation, this battle lasted 52 days, and we both invested a total of more than one million troops-"
He talked for more than twenty minutes and explained the entire situation of the Liaoshen Battle thoroughly, especially the 1:6.8 loss ratio between the two sides in the end. Professor Zhang Hongchang's face was full of pride.
"So, this matter is not because Comrade Chaoyang sang a praise for me, or because he preset the result and simplified the plot, but because he truly respects historical facts."
With his endorsement, the questions raised by Cai Kui were solved.
When everyone continues to express their opinions on the novel, the positive comments still account for the majority, and they are almost exaggerating in different ways.
In the 1990s, the domestic literary world was no longer as pure as in the 1980s, and even the critics were the same.
In recent years, some seminars on work have become uncontrollable and unstandardized works, and have always been tainted by many literary people.
At the seminar on "The Right Way on Earth is Vicissitudes", everyone praised the novel, but no one thought there was any problem, because everyone sincerely felt that this novel deserves such praise.
The seminar took place for a day and ended in the evening.
When he left the magazine, Cheng Zaochun, the current editor-in-chief of the Humanities Society, called Lin Chaoyang and talked to him about the publishing issue of the novel "The Right Way in the World is Vicissitudes" was published in the first issue of "People's Literature". It sold for more than two months and sold more than 2 million copies, which would definitely have some impact on subsequent publication sales.
According to normal practice, it would be better to have a longer interval between publishing and publishing, which is conducive to publishing and sales.
However, in the past two years, the domestic piracy trend has become increasingly rampant. As early as December, the pirated book "The Right Way in the World is Vicissitudes" appeared on the market, and the sales have always been very good.
Seeing this, the Humanities Society was a little unable to sit still and planned to release the novel in March.
Cheng Zaochun asked Lin Chaoyang for his opinion, and he said happily: "You can just decide on this matter, I have no objection."
"Okay, I'll send it to you if the sample book comes out in a few days."
On the fourth day of the seminar, Lin Chaoyang received a sample book from the Humanities Club.
The cover color is dark, and it is painted on the battlefield before dawn. The silhouette of a soldier looks into the distance, which looks very artistic, which shows that he has used his heart.
Lin Chaoyang looked through it for a while and was very satisfied with the cover, binding and layout, so he called Cheng Zaochun, and the publication of "The Right Way in the World is Vicissitudes" entered the countdown.
Two more days later, it was late in the first lunar month. The preliminary preparations for "Opium War" have been successfully completed and will be launched in Guangdong soon.
Lin Chaoyang happened to be back to Xiangjiang, so he accepted Xie Jin's invitation to attend the opening press conference.
The opening press conference for "Opium War" was selected at the "Opium War Memorial Hall" in Humen, Dongguan. The atmosphere was very grand. Zhao Shi, deputy director of the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television, and Liu Jianzhong, director of the Film Bureau, made a special trip from Yanjing to Guangdong to attend the opening ceremony.
In addition, leaders from GD Province attended the event, as well as more than 200 reporters from all over the country.
Xie Fei, the top leader of GD Province, met the crew's main creators before the press conference, and made a promise in front of hundreds of reporters on the scene:
The people of Guangdong must do their best to support the shooting of "Opium War".
Before the opening press conference ended, the group of fans symbolically took a set of shots, choosing the Jingyuan Fortress, which was the anti-British hero Guan Tianpei, who was the head of the country.
Zhang Yimou personally took the camera, and after Xie Jin shouted "Okay", everyone present applauded warmly.
After a whole morning, after the launch conference, the main creators of the group did not relax their arms and had to deal with the memories from all over the country. Even Lin Chaoyang had to accept half a childhood interview.
As a book history blockbuster for the return of Xiangjiang, "The Opium War" not only invested in the mainland film history, but also set a record for the lineup in front and behind the scenes.
Xie Jin, Zhang Yimou, and Lin Chaoyang wrote the film. The main cast is not very famous in the film industry. Bao Guoan, Lin Liankun, and Lang Xiong are all old actors.
However, when it comes to choosing supporting roles and supporting roles, stars shine.
Leung Ka-hui plays Emperor Daoguang, and the son of the businessman, He Shanzhi, is played by Leon Lai, and the role of the singer Rong is given to Jiang Shan.
The role of British businessman is played by supporting actor Ed Harris, who has only emerged in Hollywood in the past two years. He is the original "Truemon World" who took a huge investment from the director and a star-studded lineup, and is also known as a return gift. The opening ceremony of "Opium War" appeared on the pages of major domestic newspapers and TV stations the next day.
From the perspective of film promotion alone, it saves at least several million in publicity costs.
After attending the opening ceremony of "Opium War", Lin Chaoyang took the train to Shenzhen and returned to Xiangjiang.
As soon as he returned home, Tao Yuqing handed him an invitation letter.
The Lin Chaoyang (American) Literary Research Association will be established on April 12. Yale University specially sent an invitation letter, hoping that Lin Chaoyang will be able to attend the event by then.
"I'm going to the United States next month, let's go there together."
Tao Yushu has always been very active in Lin Chaoyang's affairs, not to mention that this is the Lin Chaoyang Literary Research Association, led by famous American universities.
"What are you going to do?" Lin Chaoyang asked casually.
"In May, Toshiba's DVD player will be offline-"
Tao Yukui made up his mind to enter the video tape industry last year and planned to use DVD as a brand new medium to intervene in the video tape industry. After more than half a year of preparation, he finally waited for the DVD player to be offline.
Last September, Sony and Toshiba finally reached an agreement to unify DVD standards, and the standard agreement was determined.
They will spend half a year in Japan and the United States fully launch DVD player retail industry.
Lin's Film will become the first major film manufacturer to respond to DVD rolling styles, and Netflix will also conduct in-depth marketing binding with Sony and Toshiba's DVDs, which will benefit each other.
More than a week later, Lin Chaoyang and his wife flew to the United States, and Tao Yukuai accompanied Lin Chaoyang to Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut.
Research associations for single writers such as Lin Chaoyang (American) Literary Research Association are rare in the academic community, and the founding conference is not grand.
The establishment meeting was selected at the Sterling Touai Pavilion at Yale University, and the attendees included many professors and doctoral students of the school's East Asian Research Committee.
As well as East Asian cultures and cultural studies from nine Ivy League universities in the United States, there are also more than 100 undergraduate students from Yale University.
Naoko Kondo also attended the founding meeting as the president of the Lin Chaoyang (Japan) Literary Research Association.
The climax of the founding conference happened when Lin Chaoyang stood up to deliver a speech. His "Dallas Furniture Club", "Trumen's World" and "Van Gogh's Death" were very popular among American college students.
There was no traditional Chinese festival at the conference. After the ceremony, several professors came on stage to share their research papers on Lin Chaoyang's works.
Lin Chaoyang listened for a while and was indifferent.
Literary creation and literary theory research sound no different, but in fact, the things you pay attention to are very different.
For example, Fei Fengwen's report on the stage was titled "The Impact of Japanese and Russian Culture on Northeast China since the Late Qing Dynasty",
The content of the report reflects the actual changes in Northeast China over the past century through the historical background mentioned in "Chuangguandong".
Literary research is a matter of vain, and it is understandable to find some anchor points based on the actual point, but L said that it has become an "introduction" under such research.
After attending the founding conference of Lin Chaoyang (American) Literary Research Association, Lin Chaoyang's son and wife flew to California again.
After resting for two days at Mulholland Road's luxury house, Tao Yushu went to Silicon Valley to arrange Netflix's subsequent work, and then had a secret talk with Sony Pictures to win over allies.
On May 5, DVD technical regulations 1.0 jointly formulated by giants such as Sony, Toshiba, and Philips were announced to the public. This industry news has attracted widespread attention in Hollywood.
For many years, Hollywood has been seeking the inheritance of VHS video tapes. Warner and Hollywood Film Company have also jointly developed SD disks, but due to the lack of support from industry giants, the progress is not ideal.
They are naturally both alert and expectant about the appearance of DVD video tapes.
Beware of the damage to one's own interests, and what we expect is whether new industrial tools will bring them new profit control points, just when Hollywood giants such as Warner, Universal, and Paramount are still on the stand-by.
