Chapter 158 Popular Books of the Year

As the annual phenomenal martial arts novel, there are countless readers and fans of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" combined. As the first TV series adapted from mainland martial arts novels after remakes many martial arts novels in Hong Kong and Taiwan, the popularity of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is self-evident.

Many people who do not read martial arts novels do not know what "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is, but it does not prevent them from hearing this novel from friends, colleagues, and family members.

It seems like J.K. Rowling wrote "Harry Potter". It doesn't matter if others have read it or not. What's important is that this novel became famous, so after it was adapted into a movie, the audience gathered and the box office swept the world.

Of course, when it comes to fame in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", there are many differences in "Harry Potter", but in China, the fame of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" can be said to be like a long rainbow that runs through the moon and is full of bullfighting.

In the entire 2003 book market, Zhang Tan was basically the world. Although the genuine sales of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" ended, the sales of the second part of the trilogy, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", continue to dominate the top spot in the domestic book market sales list. Although some people say that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" are much worse than "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the best-selling performance is even worse.

After all, Zhang Tan's fame at this time was no longer a newcomer when he just wrote "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", but a young literary master who was famous in China.

As the first part of the trilogy, it is difficult for the adaptation of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" to be not paid attention to. Moreover, the sales of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" ended this year, but the reputation has also fermented and brewed with the genuine and pirated books sold.

In China, you may not know what Zhang Tan does. You may not know what Zhang Tan looks like. But you have more or less heard the name "Tan Zhang".

In the past, everyone would say that Tan Zhang, Han Jingming and Guo Han are all young writers, three very talented young people born in the 1980s.

Now everyone will say that Tan Zhang is a great writer born in the 1980s and a great master of martial arts. He will no longer be put together with Han Jingming and Guo Han.

Although Han Jingming and Guo Han were already famous in China and became enviable young writers, Zhang Tan was not the same as that of Zhang Tan, and their works could not attract such great social attention.

In this, Zhang Dahuzi adapted "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and made great efforts.

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which invested tens of millions of dollars, has spent money to arrange many hype and publicity methods, which has invisibly expanded Zhang Tan's fame.

Xinlang.com "The Legend of the Condor Heroes Come Guest" is just one of the promotional links.

After chatting about the details of the creation on Xinlang.com, the crew changed to a big promotion. Zhejiang TV Film and Television Culture Channel reached a live broadcast agreement with the crew of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which will broadcast the filming of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" live from 2:00 to 4:00 on November 4.

This is the first live TV series filming in the Chinese television industry.

Zhejiang TV Film and Television Culture Channel spent hundreds of thousands of yuan on this, using live broadcast equipment worth 35 million yuan and dozens of cameras. The Zhoushan government even transferred helicopters to shoot the Taohua Island built in Taohua Town from the air, and prepared to promote Taohua Island well and promote the local future tourism industry.

Zhang Tan was not surprised. He was invited to the live show again.

This live broadcast is divided into three parts.

The first part is the shooting of two scenes. One is the literary scene where Ouyang Ke opens his mouth to ask Huang Yaoshi for marriage in the Bagua Pavilion of Peach Blossom Island; the other is the life-and-death struggle between Ouyang Feng and Hong Qigong on the flower boat used to propose marriage after the marriage proposal, and the martial arts scene where the flower boat was sunk by the blow. The second part is the live interview with the original and screenwriter Zhang Tan, producer Zhang Dahuzi, and producer Wang Zhujiang.

The third part is a scene of the scenery of Peach Blossom Island, as well as a scene of thousands of horses galloping, yurts and Guo Jing falling off the horse filmed by the crew in Inner Mongolia.

Because Taohua Island is full of sand, live broadcast cars are prone to trapping in. As early as October, the Zhoushan government built several roads dedicated to live broadcast cars and made plans for live broadcasts.

But it was really live broadcast, but the troubles continued. The chief dispatcher broadcasted such a big scene for the first time. The scene was messy. By one o'clock, the power was out of power and had to temporarily use a power generator to generate electricity.

As the live broadcast time approaches, tourists who have received the notice have been filled with the entire live broadcast site.

Seeing the shooting time of the martial arts show, the crowd was still surrounding him. Zhao Jian, who directed the martial arts show, was busy shouting: "Clear the scene quickly, clear the scene quickly!"

There are so many people who are unwilling to retreat, or they are back, but when they see that others have not retreated, they squeeze in.

"Clean or not!" the scene's assistant director returned.

The director of the live broadcast also made a quick decision: "Appoint the host to interview Zhang Weishen and the others first!"

So in the messy scene, the live broadcast camera switched to outside the crew's temporary studio, where Zhang Tan and others gathered.

The host was also caught off guard and rushed to interview without any arrangement.

Fortunately, I have asked what I should ask. I have checked Taiwanese books before, and the interview was quite successful.

Zhang Tan was also asked several questions, such as what I felt when I saw my work being realized bit by bit, were I satisfied with the actor's appearance, and have I ever thought about the beautiful scenery of Peach Blossom Island when I wrote a novel.

at last.

I was busy until 4:05, and the flower boat was sunk, and the live broadcast ended.

...

writing.

Occasionally follow the crew around.

In the last two months of 2003, Zhang Tan spent this life happily and relaxed.

New Year's Day is approaching and the new year will begin.

Every time this time comes, people summarize the previous year and look forward to the next year. For Zhang Tan, at this time, he had to interrupt from leisure and start dealing with the busy year-end summary.

On December 28, 2003, the pioneer of Chinese digital publishing, founded at Tsinghua University and received strong support from cultural celebrities such as Ba Jin and Yu Qiuyu, released the list of "2003 Top 20 Popular Books in 2003" at 10:00 on the same day. "The Legend of Condor Heroes" won the top 20 list with unquestionable popularity.

Five volumes were released in five months, with nearly four or five million sales, and have been at the top of the domestic best-selling list for more than four months. The results of "The Legend of Condor Heroes" are incredibly impressive.

Other works in the top 20. Guo Han, who ranks second and third, and fourth in "Illusion", "How Many Reds Falling in Dreams", foreign j.k.; Rowling's "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", is not as popular as "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

With such a strong momentum, the last volume of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" was grandly launched on New Year's Day.

Anwei Literature and Art Publishing House also arranged a massive book signing meeting for Zhang Tan as promised. Many reporters came to interview Zhang Tan with long spears and short cannons.

The reporter still repeated the old tune when interviewing, most of them were asking about "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and a few asked whether the copyright of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was sold.

"It hasn't been sold yet. Many film and television companies have already wanted to buy adaptation rights at high prices, but I have handed over the specific copyright operation to Luzhou Studio. If you want to know more about the situation, you can ask the studio's general manager Li Yan."

Zhang Tan dealt with the reporter.

Then I entered the Sanlian Taofen Book Center in Beiyi, and the book signing meeting was arranged here.

"The name Taofen is not good, and it always reminds me of TF Boy." Zhang Tan looked at Sanlian Taofen's signboard and thought maliciously.

After entering the bookstore, I was soon taken to the underground floor by the staff.

On the steps between the first floor of Sanlian Taofen’s underground floor and the first floor, there are usually countless "readers" who only read books but not buy books. The biggest advantage of this bookstore located in the Sanlian Bookstore building of Life, Reading and New Knowledge is that the atmosphere of reading is particularly good, with gentle music, holding pictorials and novels. You can spend an afternoon sitting by sitting.

However, today the atmosphere of Sanlian Taofen has changed.

Readers who love reading were suffering. Because since the morning, many people came to the bookstore. After buying the latest book "The Legend of Condor Heroes", they gathered in every corner of the bookstore and whispered.

"Hey, are you here to ask Dada Tan for an autograph?"

"Of course yes, I'm a big fan of The Legend of the Condor Heroes!"

"Is there a trilogy of The Legend of the Condor Heroes? Isn't it just "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?"

"Of course there is a third part, but it hasn't been published yet. When the Inspector comes, we will know what the third part is."

"Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu's love is so bumpy."

"After watching The Legend of the Condor Heroes, I don't like Guo Jing. Where are you?"

"I like it. Guo Jing defended Xiangyang for several years, which truly interprets the meaning of the greatest hero for the country and the people."

"I don't know what the filming of The Legend of the Condor Heroes is like, I really want to see it."

"Will the bearded man finish filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and then filming "The Godly Condor Heroes"?"

"That depends on the ratings. We will support you at that time."

"Isn't that certain?"

The more and more book fans came to ask for signatures, they not only occupied the space in the bookstore, but also disturbed the readers who came to read books. The readers who read books quietly glared at these book fans, but they were useless. More and more people, and the voices became louder and louder.

"If you come to sign, can't you be quieter? What kind of author and what kind of readers are, you have no quality!" A reader holding a fashion pictorial couldn't help complaining.

A few little girls next to him who were whispering were heard, and one of them couldn't help but retort: ​​"Have you bothered? You can buy the magazine home to read it. You can read it in the bookstore, but you haven't bought it before. You have the nerve to say to us."

"Who said I won't buy it! I just look at the content that looks good or not!"

"Then you have seen the last few pages. Can't you see it well or not? You can't bear to buy it."

"Of course I can see that this book is very good! I'll pay now." The reader was excited by the girl and immediately became passionate. He held the fashion pictorial and went to the cashier on the first floor.

But as soon as I walked to the cashier, I immediately remembered that I didn’t bring my money when I went out today.

In an instant, the reader's face turned red. He looked back guiltily. He didn't see the girls following him. Then he breathed a sigh of relief. He stood aside and finished reading the Fashion Pictorial, and then threw it in the book stall.

Walk out with your head held high.

Some episodes are not worth talking about.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, book fans were looking forward to it. Zhang Tan was wearing a decent casual blazer with a bright smile on his face. Under the guidance of the staff, he walked to the bottom floor of the bookstore.

"Hello everyone."

"Wow, Inspector!"

"Hello, Inspector."

"You are so handsome, Inspector."

"I want to sign, Chief Inspector."
