Chapter 918: Give them half of the Investiture of the Gods, and make them anxious.

"The first Journey to the West literature and art seminar?"

Lin Fan repeated the name of the activity that Yang Hongxia told him: "Sister Xia, I know all these words, but why can't I understand them when they are put together?"

Yang Hongxia spread her hands and said, "Don't say you don't understand. I don't understand either. Anyway, the Literature and Art Association is going to hold an academic seminar centered on the novel Journey to the West and invites you, the author, to participate."

Lin Fan really wanted to complain: Although I know that "Journey to the West" is really great - otherwise it would not be listed as one of the four great classics, but you guys are convinced so quickly, I am really not used to it.

Lin Fan has actually been waiting for the anti-fans on the Internet to launch a new round of attacks against him regarding "Journey to the West".

Who would have thought that before the black fans even started to take action, they had already taken control of the Literary and Art Association.

Where is the pride of a writer?

What happened to the agreement that scholars would look down on each other?

Shouldn't you scold me harshly for being grandstanding, leaving the good modern texts behind and insisting on writing classical Chinese to show off? You happily invited me to attend your seminar, and I heard you praise me in person, in all kinds of ways. Is this really okay? Lin Fan asked with a bitter face: "Sister Xia, can I not go?"

Yang Hongxia was also in a difficult situation. This was an invitation from the Literary and Art Association, and they were all big names in the literary world. It was such a high level and such a high standard. To be honest, if Lin Fan could attend this event, he could really brag about it for half a year.

Although the entertainment industry can also be included in the scope of the literary and artistic circle, no matter how big a star or how popular an artist is, they are at the bottom of the contempt chain in the literary and artistic circle.

There are people who can successfully cross circles as artists and reach the top of the contempt chain in the literary and art world, but their number can be counted on one’s fingers.

This time, the Literature and Art Association took the initiative to invite Lin Fan to participate in the event. In fact, they did not invite Lin Fan as an "artist", but Lin Fan as the author of "Journey to the West". There is a big difference here.

On the one hand, Yang Hongxia didn't want Lin Fan to give up such a good opportunity to meet real big names in the literary and art world, but on the other hand, she was worried that Lin Fan would be wronged if he went.

Because although the other party invited the author Lin Fan, it is an inseparable fact that Lin Fan is an artist.

Yang Hongxia was worried that Lin Fan would be treated unfairly by the Literature and Art Association because of his status as an artist. It was not uncommon for writers to look down on each other.

But if she didn't go, Yang Hongxia was worried that Lin Fan would leave a bad impression there. After all, the power of the bigwigs in the literary and artistic circles should not be underestimated.

Most of them have published their works in some orthodox literary magazines and newspaper supplements, and then published them in collections. Some have also published them in social science academic journals, and some are simply the editors-in-chief or persons in charge of these publications.

If they express their dissatisfaction with Lin Fan on some important occasions or in publications, it will still have a certain impact on Lin Fan's future development.

After listening to Yang Hongxia's concerns, Lin Fan decided: "Well, I won't go. After all, I really don't have time recently. But, Sister Xia, you go there in advance, explain to the other party, and then give half a copy of "The Investiture of the Gods" to the president who helped me promote "Journey to the West" on the Internet."

"Half a book?" Yang Hongxia didn't understand.

If you don't go in person, sending your work over would be considered a sign of sincerity.

But what does half a book mean? "Of course, it's to shut them up, so that even if they are dissatisfied with me, they can only swallow their words." Lin Fan touched his chin, "No, "The Investiture of the Gods" doesn't seem to be at that level yet, let's change it..."

Which one should I change to?

Water Margin or Romance of the Three Kingdoms?

Among the four great classics, Journey to the West is about enlightenment, Water Margin is about righteousness, Romance of the Three Kingdoms is about struggle, and Dream of the Red Chamber is about love. Logically, these bigwigs should prefer Romance of the Three Kingdoms. If that doesn't work, they should just go for Dream of the Red Chamber.

Lin Fan couldn't make up his mind for the time being: "Anyway, there's still some time left, I'll think about it."

Consider which famous book to throw out to ward off disaster.

Lin Fan had an idea, so Yang Hongxia stopped trying to persuade him: "Okay, I'll remind you when the time comes. But there's something else going on right now."

"What's up?"

Lin Fan knew that Yang Hongxia would not come to visit him for no reason. She could have explained the invitation from the Arts Association over the phone. But she came to the set this time, so she must have something else important to say.

Yang Hongxia didn't beat around the bush: "It's about the actor who plays Sun Wukong in Journey to the West. Didn't they have trouble finding a suitable actor before?"

"right."

Lin Fan nodded. When the Journey to the West comics were first released, the entire entertainment industry had their eyes on this work. Many actors recommended themselves, and Lin Fan also took the opportunity to meet a large number of actors.

Unfortunately, no one can match the role of Sun Wukong.

Therefore, the drama "Journey to the West" has been shelved, and the only thing that can be considered first is to shoot an animated film, or even "Investiture of the Gods" first.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

As for "Journey to the West", which is obviously an earlier work, other work could not be carried out because the male lead could not be decided.

The actors in the circle who were keeping an eye on this work had to give up waiting temporarily and switch to other scripts because they had not received any news about Lin Fan starting filming, so as not to waste too much time and delay their own development.

"You specifically mentioned this matter. Have you found the right person?"

Yang Hongxia smiled and said, "Whether it is suitable or not, it is up to you, Director Lin, to decide. Do you still remember Su Tong?"

"Remember, Sister Tong, who competed with Sister Man for the female lead in The Legend of White Snake? I remember she was a student of opera?"

"Yes, Sister Tong has a senior who studies opera. He is a professional actor who specializes in monkey opera and is also a member of the Huaxia Drama Troupe. He will return to Shanghai after his national tour next month, which is the day after tomorrow. I wonder if Director Lin has time to meet him and have a chat in person?"

Lin Fan was of course willing: "He's a professional monkey performer and a member of the Huaxia Drama Troupe. Would he be willing to act in a TV series?"

Yang Hongxia smiled and said, "Do you have any misunderstandings about your Journey to the West?"

Lin Fan: “?”

"A work that is worthy of the Chinese Literature and Art Association holding a special seminar, and it is made into a TV series, and the director is a new director with a box office of 10 billion. Who would refuse such a good project?"

Not to mention, Li Man and Su Tong were eyeing this drama and wanted to snatch a role from it. The two best actresses were reduced to supporting actresses, while the other party could play the absolute leading actor, Sun Wukong. Who could refuse such an opportunity? (End of this chapter)
