Chapter 285: Wolf Totem Unveiled
The plan to seize the sea has been ongoing.
Li Donglai didn't make any demands on Lin Rui, but Chen Bin had subtly mentioned a few days ago that the current plan to seize the sea needed a benchmark work, which should ideally connect with literature, film and television, games, songs and other aspects.
Li Donglai's idea was to use movies as a benchmark. He thought "Inception" was very good and could be extended to literature, games, and songs. However, Lin Rui rejected this idea.
After much deliberation, Lin Rui decided to purchase the uncensored version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" through the system.
What books are they holding?
Wei Xiaoying looked at the group leader curiously.
The team leader knew about it and explained with a smile, "It's a novel written by Teacher Fusheng. It seems to be a historical fiction, similar to online literature on the market."
"Teacher Fusheng?"
Wei Xiaoying became interested: "I'm a big fan of Teacher Fusheng. His performance in 'The Legend of 1900' was absolutely amazing."
After a pause, Wei Xiaoying asked in confusion, "What? He can write books?"
"And you call yourself a loyal fan of Teacher Fusheng."
The team leader said, both amused and exasperated, "Let me tell you, Teacher Fusheng's literary achievements are something even the literary mecca of Huazhou must acknowledge."
"That's amazing?"
Wei Xiaoying's eyes widened: "I've never been to Huazhou. Is Teacher Fusheng also very famous in literature?"
"I seriously suspect you're a hater."
Not to mention the team leader, even the crew members on site were speechless.
"This part wasn't filmed, was it? If it was, please cut it out."
Wei Xiaoying was a little embarrassed, and her face turned red: "I'll go to the bookstore to buy books first thing tomorrow morning."
Everyone knows that Wei Xiaoying is referring to "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". The group leader laughed and said, "Then you'll probably have made a wasted trip. Teacher Fusheng's book has not yet been published."
After a pause, the team leader added, "And even if you buy it, you probably won't understand it for a while. It's all in classical Chinese, and without a certain literary background, it will be quite difficult to read."
Lin Rui overheard Wei Xiaoying's conversation with the team leader and had some thoughts in mind.
If he wants to promote "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" on a large scale, the classical Chinese version is naturally not feasible. Fortunately, he still has a seamless manuscript of the modern Chinese version.
However, Lin Rui does not plan to publish a physical book. Given the pace of modern life, it would be difficult for people to settle down and read a historical physical book.
Therefore, Lin Rui decided to release the electronic version directly.
As for how to promote "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as quickly as possible, he doesn't need to worry about that, because the word "Floating Life" is the biggest guarantee of traffic in the Sixteen Provinces.
If he really wanted to add fuel to the fire, Lin Rui's eyes flickered slightly, clearly indicating that he had an idea.
"We are delighted to welcome a new masked singer to the second episode of the show. Please welcome Empress Changping!"
Although they were still somewhat unsatisfied, the main members of the judging panel put down their books and, as arranged by the production team, placed "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in a prominent position.
Amidst the dense, colorful clouds, a woman in magnificent palace attire appeared, wearing a golden mask. Although her face was obscured, her graceful and elegant demeanor exuded the splendor of an empress.
"Empress Changping, what a grand style!"
Shi Yongzheng was somewhat puzzled.
It is important to know that Empress Changping had a profound influence in the long history of China and was the first true female emperor in the Chinese land.
In Shi Yongzheng's view, anyone who dares to appear as the Empress of Changping must either have absolute power or be an arrogant madman with an inflated sense of self-importance.
Others had similar thoughts to varying degrees, but everyone had developed the habit of not showing their emotions on their faces, and it was difficult to discern much from their outward appearance.
The six masked singers sang the theme song "Chasing the Light" together on stage before leaving one by one and returning to their respective private rooms.
Just like in the first episode, Wei Xiaoying went on stage to draw lots, and the results came out quickly. Lin Rui was the third to appear.
"Wolf Totem's 'Green Wind' is quite similar to the previous 'Wind of the Grassland,' both depicting the scenery of Fuzhou and having a strong ethnic flavor."
Ke Changhuan smiled slightly: "However, relying on past achievements is not a sustainable solution. The first time you might have managed to catch people off guard, but this time it will be much harder to get away with it."
"Actually, I should have thought of it earlier. Wolf Totem has been using Fuzhou as a cover from beginning to end."
