Chapter 378: Becoming Famous
Xie Wenyuan once jokingly said that he wanted to go to Korea to become a national idol.
Everyone thought it was a joke. Even if he became popular, he was still far from being a national idol.
But looking at it now, it seems that there really is such a trend.
Maybe it’s not universal now, but once the animation can really become popular due to its quality, it may be stable...
In the final analysis, unscrupulously displaying the magic of immortals in the real world is indeed a very shocking thing. You will either be labeled a liar or be worshipped by the whole people.
In the bustling city of Seoul, the "holy man" appeared many times in front of the public. There were rational people who thought it was fake, but countless people who witnessed it excitedly refuted it. Various videos were circulated all over the Internet and even on YouTube. Chu Ge himself didn't know that the number of views on YouTube had reached tens of millions, and it was heading for hundreds of millions.
It is unknown how other people abroad view these videos, but in Korea, they really have a huge base. There are too many people who have witnessed it, and with Tang Jinyan's support, the voices of doubt are easily suppressed. Isn't that a big deal...
As soon as Xie Wenyuan hung up the phone, Tang Jinyan called and said two things: "First, congratulations on your fame, congratulations on making money, and congratulations on the success of our cultural export strategy."
Chu Ge: "... Congratulations, congratulations."
"Two, go back now, and quickly. I've already asked someone to book you tickets."
"Huh? Why are you so anxious all of a sudden?"
"Because according to this trend, if you keep showing off here, you won't be chased by fans, but the officials in the temple will come to you to ask for the secret of immortality."
Chu Ge was sweating profusely.
There is actually such a layer. I would never have thought of it if Tang Jinyan hadn’t reminded me.
Tang Jinyan added: "I see that you are not the kind of person who pursues fame and fortune. I don't know why you seem to care a lot about the dissemination of your works. Maybe this is the ideal of a writer? Anyway, you and I are tied together on this point. You can rest assured about the overseas distribution."
"Thank you, Brother Nine."
"Don't thank me, I also want to make money... Don't you think that I am a capitalist who is exploiting you in this matter?"
"……Grass."
Tang Jinyan laughed: "Okay, I wish you a safe journey."
Chu Ge hung up the phone and sighed to Qiu Wuji: "It seems that our trip is really coming to an end."
Qiu Wuji was actually a little reluctant to leave. He felt that he could be more casual here and fly around... Then he thought of food and immediately said, "Let's go. I don't want to stay in this damn place for even a minute..."
In mid-January, Chu Ge ended his trip to Korea to promote the animation amid Korea's frenzied "immortal" atmosphere, and returned home with the Blue Dragon toe bone and some extra small fragments.
The couple didn't expect that they would be surrounded by a group of reporters with cameras as soon as they left the airport: "Mr. Chu, Mr. Chu! I heard that you were flying around in Korea and the video was even sent to China. Is that true?"
"Ms. Qiu! Can I have a few words from you? Is the video of you walking on the Han River real? Wasn't there any wirework?"
Chu Ge: “?”
Qiu Wuji: ""
Both of them were confused.
No, how did you know about our flight back home and why are you waiting here asking?
Is this what celebrity treatment is like?
"Wait, wait, wait..." Chu Ge pressed his hands together with sweat on his forehead, his mind racing, trying to figure out how to answer.
You can't say that it's just a scam for the Koreans, and all the work done over the past few days would have been in vain if it was broadcast to Korea.
In the end, the only answer I could give was this standard one: “Well… you have to believe in science.”
The reporters smiled knowingly.
It turns out that he went there for show, that's normal.
In fact, many people know about superpowers, and they think that it is impossible for the couple to fool passers-by by hanging on wires, so it is most likely that they have the superpower of flying, but they see through it but don't reveal it.
They didn't know enough information to know that the reason why Koreans believed it was because Chu Ge and his wife had too many kinds of "superpowers" and they didn't look like superpowers at all. The reporters stationed in Korea were fooled by Tang Jinyan himself, saying that it was a play done by his subordinates. Therefore, the legend of the immortal that made a lot of noise in Korea was not believed by many people in China from the beginning.
At most, they discovered that the couple had superpowers... Chu Ge was no longer afraid to reveal this.
It's so boring to hide things all your life. Look, Qiuqiu's face is full of joy after just two days of being so unrestrained outside. What I want to pursue in the future is to be able to play freely here, without worrying about so many things.
The reporters got a scientific answer and finally asked the real question: "Are you two going to Korea to promote the animation this time? It is said that the animation has achieved excellent results on multiple platforms in Korea? Can our fairy tales also have a market in Korea? Or is it because Mr. Chu's stories are particularly excellent?"
Chugo smiled and said, "Excellent production and excellent music will be popular wherever it goes. My story doesn't have much to do with it."
This is the truth, not modesty. The marketing method played a big role this time. As for the story, the plot has not been unfolded in the first two episodes of the animation. The quality of the story does not have a big impact on the performance this time, including the initial performance in China. Of course, if you want to maintain the performance in the future, the importance of the story will increase.
The reporters were all laughing: "Mr. Chu is still very modest... Then according to Mr. Chu himself, who has made the greatest contribution?"
Chu Ge didn't even think about it, he took Qiu Wuji's hand and gestured: "Of course it's Qiuqiu."
Qiu Wuji had been keeping his mouth shut and listening to his nonsense, but now her beautiful eyes moved and she smiled slightly.
Chu Ge continued, "Qiuqiu's music and Qiuqiu's paintings are the biggest foundation for the success of this animation. Although I wrote the original work, it would be overshadowed without Qiuqiu."
Qiu Wuji said nothing.
Outside the airport, the cold wind blew her hair and brushed across her slightly red cheeks, her eyes were filled with joy and she smiled sweetly.
The reporters stared at him in a daze, and suddenly felt that what Chu Ge said was so damn right.
Wouldn't it be dull without her here?
Even if she doesn't say a word... she doesn't need to say anything, just standing there is the most beautiful scenery.
Such a beautiful woman is not just a vase. As Chu Ge said, at least half of the credit for the success of the animation should be attributed to Qiu Wuji. From the original paintings to the music, he thoroughly brought everyone into that fairyland and floated towards the human world with the snow on the clouds.
In the past, she was very low-key and many people regarded her as the assistant of the writer Chu Ge. Until now, people have discovered that Qiu Wuji is not Chu Ge's assistant, but a perfect match made in heaven, and neither of them can be missing.
"Love in early autumn appears at the airport, the fairy couple makes others envious"
"Chu Tian Wu Ji swept South Korea, and you deserve half of the military honor"
Coincidentally, many media outlets chose the CP of Early Autumn Love as the theme of this report, and no one really cared about the so-called immortals.
The actual content is much more important than CP...
This is the first time in many years that Chinese entertainment has achieved such a dazzling result in South Korea, and it is also because of this that there was a collective blocking of the airport for interviews. It is definitely a glorious thing to achieve results overseas. Not to mention cultural exports, this is definitely a proud act and deserves to be written about.
What delighted the reporters was that this couple was quite interesting. The man was handsome and the woman was pretty, and they loved each other very much. When Chu Ge held Qiu Wuji's hand and proudly introduced "Qiu Qiu's achievements" to everyone, people could almost see the glow on his face.
The tenderness in Qiu Wuji's eyes and that faint smile became the beautiful scene captured by reporters' cameras. The headlines of major entertainment editions were all about the picture of the two holding hands and smiling at each other.
"Why are you suddenly so high-profile?" Qiu Wuji looked at the photos on the Internet and asked Chu Ge absentmindedly.
Chu Ge hugged her and kissed her gently: "You are no longer the cautious one you were when you first came here. Of course, you can stand in front of the world with confidence. This time is also a coincidence. I said a long time ago that I want to make our love become the wish of the world."
