Chapter 158 A Demon Has Appeared in the Literary World
Deng Siqing rolled her eyes, "Go to hell!"
Cheng Huanhuan laughed, "Yeah, you don't need me, you want to knock yourself out and send yourself to Dafei's bed."
"You dead girl, I'll strangle you to death!"
It was only in the dressing room that Deng Siqing would play around with her, and she had to establish her authority when there were others around.
Cheng Huanhuan became famous overnight, and the station also arranged a program for her. Although the time slot was not very good, it was also a news program, thanks to Dafei.
"Sister Deng, Sister Huan, adjust the lights!"
The two heard the call and hurriedly opened the door to do their own things.
At the same time, Mao Feifei came to the station and waited for a long time before Qiu Chengdong was not busy.
Seeing Qiu Chengdong in the office, Mao Feifei handed him a valuable Pu'er tea cake.
"Director Qiu, I brought it back from my hometown during the Chinese New Year. Let you try it."
Qiu Chengdong said seriously, "Xiao Mao, our CCTV doesn't like this. If you have something to say, just say it directly."
Mao Feifei laughed, "Oh, what can I do? I just want to ask how to arrange the show later."
"I know you have a good relationship with Dafei, haha, I am not sure about it, right?"
When Mao Feifei said this, Qiu Chengdong immediately knew his intention.
The male and female duo of Mao Feifei and Chen Ya collided with the duo of Lin Chudong and Cheng Huanhuan.
The performance style is similar, and the sketches are also similar. Under normal circumstances, one should be eliminated.
As a director of a variety show, he must want to see a hundred flowers bloom, which can bring a good viewing experience to the audience.
And Cheng Huanhuan, a comedy newcomer who suddenly appeared, is so popular that it is probably a bit difficult to be eliminated.
Unless there are no good works, the two may be eliminated regretfully.
In the last issue, because the sketches of film and television actors were too few, he was eliminated because of no choice.
If everyone performs well in the next few episodes, Mao Feifei will definitely be eliminated.
The performance of everyone in the first episode was uneven, mainly because they were not well prepared and did not know what kind of skits this program liked.
And they did not know how the show would perform, so they did not put in too much effort.
After the first episode was broadcast, they saw that the show was very popular, so they had to put in a lot of effort this time.
Even if they had to pay a high price for the skit script, they had to keep their ranking.
This program is so popular that everyone wants to go a long way. Mao Feifei was a little unconfident, so she asked the director to test the waters.
Qiu Chengdong said, "Don't worry, I still have to consider the ratings of this program. Besides, I have my old boss's face, so I won't make things difficult for you. As long as your show effect is not the worst, I will not eliminate you."
Mao Feifei smiled and felt relieved.
After leaving Qiu Chengdong's room, he saw Cheng Huanhuan walking into the studio.
Cheng Huanhuan didn't pay any attention to him at all. They were quite far away, so there was no need to say hello.
Mao Feifei walked out and suddenly saw the door of the lounge was open. Looking through the gap, he saw a laptop on the table.
Mao Feifei was stunned for a moment, looked back, and saw no one around, so he quietly pushed the door and walked in.
The computer screen was not locked yet, and it was the script that Lin Chudong gave to Cheng Huanhuan.
Mao Feifei's eyes lit up immediately and he quickly started reading it.
This script is amazing!
...
Cheng Huanhuan walked to the studio and was about to start recording the program, but suddenly he had an ominous premonition in his heart.
Did you turn off the computer just now?
Is the door of the lounge closed?
That's Sister Deng's lounge, no one would dare to go in, right?
"Sister Huan, are you going to start recording?"
Cheng Huanhuan frowned, "Wait a minute, I left something behind."
Cheng Huanhuan felt something was wrong and walked back quickly.
When he walked to the door of the lounge, he pushed it open suddenly and saw that there was no one inside, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Turn off the computer. The notebook has a password, and others can't open it if the screen is locked.
After closing the office door, Cheng Huanhuan returned to the studio to record the show.
Not far away, Mao Feifei hid in a corner and took a deep breath. He was almost discovered. Fortunately, he reacted quickly.
I was so lucky this time. I actually saw Dafei's script!
This script is indeed very creative and has a lot of gags. Unfortunately, Cheng Huanhuan came back too quickly. He didn't finish reading it and didn't see a part of the back.
But the front is enough. Whoever uses these gags first will get them. Dafei, don't blame me for being rude!
…
After staying up all night, Lin Chudong wrote 50,000 words, plus an outline of more than 1,000 words. After sending it to Editor-in-Chief Kang, he flew to Beijing.
As usual, he rehearsed at Sister Deng's house. With the encouragement of the audience last time, Cheng Huanhuan was more relaxed this time.
The first gag was to start the gentle mode, and then Cheng Huanhuan knelt down and rubbed Dafei's legs with a plop.
Cheng Huanhuan had no idol baggage at all and performed very well.
Deng Siqing clapped her hands, "Great, great, Huanhuan is going to be the queen of skits."
Cheng Huanhuan smiled, "That's all thanks to Brother Dafei's support. I've become the representative of the Fei Girls. Don't abandon me in the future."
Lin Chudong smiled bitterly, "Sister Huan, please stop making fun of me. Why don't you quit and come to my company?"
Cheng Huanhuan said, "I'll really consider it. How much money will you give me?"
Lin Chudong was speechless, "I was just kidding. Are you really coming? I can't afford to sign you now."
If he was a singer, Lin Chudong would definitely dare to sign, and he would dare to sign even a celebrity like Yang Han. Really, if he didn’t have the resources to give it to others, the worst he could do would be to write more songs.
But Cheng Huanhuan is a CCTV host, and he was recruited to do so. Regardless of whether he offends CCTV, what resources can he provide to others?
Can I really take her to perform skits every day? It’s not realistic either.
Therefore, the iron rice bowl of CCTV cannot be thrown away.
After rehearsing for almost a day, I am already quite proficient.
The two of them were not so familiar with each other during the first rehearsal, but now they have quite a tacit understanding. They have basically rehearsed in a few hours.
In the evening, we arrived at the recording site.
Qiu Chengdong and several directors arranged for several groups of actors to rehearse. There was no audience during the rehearsal. They just went through the process and let the director control whether the program would work.
When Mao Feifei's show came on, Qiu Chengdong was a little surprised.
This show was pretty good, and it seemed that Xiao Mao was very attentive.
For such an excellent program, it would be too cautious to ask him to give gifts.
Maybe it was because of the strike at the Lantern Festival Gala last time that Mao Feifei was worried that Qiu Chengdong would be dissatisfied with him.
After Mao Feifei's show, several other groups of contestants also rehearsed. The cross talk group was the least effective. Compared with these creative sketches, traditional cross talk was really weak.
However, Qiu Chengdong is prepared to keep them for one more episode. After all, fewer and fewer people are talking about the art form of cross talk, and it is considered a feature of the program.
When Da Fei and the two came on stage to rehearse, Qiu Chengdong and others showed a look of anticipation on their faces.
The last time the two performed a program "Hand in Hand", the effect was very good. This program made Cheng Huanhuan popular. On the other hand, Da Fei and Da Fei also made this program a success.
As soon as the two started talking, the expressions of Qiu Chengdong and others changed slightly.
About five minutes into the performance, Qiu Chengdong stopped.
"Da Fei, Huan Huan, stop for a moment!"
Lin Chudong and the two stopped, "Director Qiu, what's wrong?"
"There's something going on, you two come down and talk."
Qiu Chengdong's brows were furrowed and his face was a little complicated. After calling the two of them to his office, he said.
"Your show collided with Mao Feifei's."
Lin Chudong was stunned, "The theme is the same?"
Qiu Chengdong said, "Not only are the themes the same, but the baggage is also the same. You bought a female robot, and his one is also a female robot."
"The first burden is also the emotional mode, and then the female robot's excessive service makes the male owner unbearable."
"What's going on with you?"
Lin Chudong frowned. Suddenly, Cheng Huanhuan's expression changed and she said.
"When you sent me the script yesterday, I was about to record the show. I saw him when I was going out. I didn't close the door at the time and forgot to turn off the computer. I went back and turned it off later. He must have seen the script!"
Cheng Huanhuan was very upset at this time. He didn't expect that in just a few minutes, Mao Feifei would take advantage of him!
Qiu Chengdong's face was also a little solemn, "Huanhuan, are you sure he copied your idea?"
Cheng Huanhuan nodded, "I'm sure!"
"We have surveillance in the station. You can take a look. He must have entered Sister Deng's office!"
Lin Chudong stood up and said, "Director Qiu, I'm going to find him."
After saying that, Lin Chudong walked out quickly, and Cheng Huanhuan quickly followed.
He specifically checked this sketch before writing the script, and found that there were indeed no similar works, not even in the same genre.
Although there may be a creative collision, Mao Feifei collided with him. Isn't this a coincidence?
It doesn’t matter if your creativity crashes, you even have the same baggage?
This is obviously plagiarism!
Lin Chudong opened the door of Mao Feifei's office, and the two looked at each other. Chen Ya was also sitting next to him. He was not surprised by Lin Chudong's arrival.
"You have something to do with me?"
Lin Chudong said, "Are you at your wits' end, copying my script?"
Mao Feifei was quite calm and sneered, "Don't talk nonsense. When did I copy your script? I worked so hard to write it, so how can I copy it from you?"
Cheng Huanhuan said, "Your creativity and baggage are obviously exactly the same as ours. I still have the script in my computer. Did you go to Sister Deng's office to take a peek?"
Mao Feifei said as if a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.
"You have no proof. Why are you saying that I plagiarized? I also said that you plagiarized me. I have thought about this skit in my mind several years ago, and it just came into use today. Have you performed it before?"
Qiu Chengdong walked in, followed by a director, and handed the phone to Cheng Huanhuan.
"Sister Huan, here it is."
On the phone was a surveillance video of him entering Deng Siqing's office.
"How do you explain Mao?"
Mao Feifei took a look and had already thought of his words.
"Oh, I'm a fan of Sister Deng. I finally came to CCTV once and saw that Sister Deng's lounge was open. I wanted to take a photo. But Sister Deng wasn't there. I waited inside for a few minutes and didn't see her. She came back and left."
"Any questions?"
Cheng Huanhuan glared and said angrily, "You are obviously quibbling!"
Mao Feifei said, "You two, don't act like you're interrogating the prisoner as soon as you come in. What qualifications do you have to say that I plagiarized? Did I plagiarize your work? Has your work been published or performed?"
"Don't talk nonsense without evidence. I can sue you for defamation."
Mao Feifei is a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water. He is determined to do this work.
It is not uncommon for these comedians to copy jokes, especially Mao Feifei, who has copied jokes from the Internet many times and has been sued, but to no avail.
It is difficult to determine whether the jokes in this kind of comedy are plagiarism. Even if Da Fei, who is known as an outlaw, sues him, he is not afraid.
What's more, this work has not been published at all. How can you prove that you wrote it first?
Even if there is a document preservation date, what evidence do you have that I copied you? I came up with it myself, and it’s okay if it conflicts with yours?
In short, whoever performs it first owns it.
Qiu Chengdong frowned and said.
"Xiao Mao, are you sure you didn't plagiarize other people's works? If this is true, it is very serious."
Lin Chudong's work has not been published, so this should not be called plagiarism, but plagiarism.
Mao Feifei said, "Director Qiu, I really didn't do it. We can't listen to their one-sided words. I thought of it myself."
Mao Feifei insisted that she didn't plagiarize. Anyway, Lin Chudong and the others had no evidence. Even if Director Qiu was biased, he couldn't protect Dafei like this for the sake of his leader, right?
Laws all emphasize the presumption of innocence. Things without evidence can't be decided at all.
Lin Chudong raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth and said.
"Okay, then this program is for you, you play it well."
After that, Lin Chudong took Cheng Huanhuan out.
"Dafei, what should we do?"
"There's still time, arrange another one."
"Arrange another one? Is there enough time?"
"There's enough time, don't write a script, I'll tell you directly."
Seeing that the two were going to rehearse, Qiu Chengdong said, "Dafei, do you have any good programs? If not, we can record it another day."
Dafei is the mainstay of the station, and the effect of his program must be guaranteed.
Lin Chudong said, "No need, Director Qiu, two hours is enough, I won't rehearse, just record it later."
Qiu Chengdong nodded, he believed in Dafei, this kid's talent in comedy is definitely not bad.
Besides, if it's not possible to record a program, just record other people first, and then Dafei will record one more person at the end.
Two hours later, the program officially started recording.
Cheng Huanhuan and Dafei also came out of the lounge.
Qiu Chengdong asked, "How is it, is it okay?"
"No problem."
"Okay, let's start."
...
After recording the program, Lin Chudong immediately set off to return to the crew.
When he arrived at the crew, Liang Yin asked about the results as usual.
"How was it this time?"
Lin Chudong said, "Something went wrong."
After telling what happened today, Liang Yin's face changed slightly.
"What should we do? Is his performance good?"
Lin Chudong nodded, "It's OK. He probably didn't see the second half, so he adapted it himself. It's OK."
Liang Yin frowned, "Wouldn't that mean I gave him a show for nothing?"
Lin Chudong sneered, "Don't worry, my show is not for nothing. I'll deal with him after the show is broadcast."
Liang Yin nodded. Although the show was recorded, it has not been broadcast yet. We can only wait and see what the effect is after it is broadcast.
It was already evening when he arrived at the crew. Lin Chudong stayed up all night again and finished writing the first part of "The Three-Body Problem" and handed it to Liang Yin and Wang Zhi, two reviewers.
Now Lin Chudong's physique is quite strong. Staying up all night is nothing. He can make up for it by sleeping for two hours during the day.
Of course, this kind of work and rest cannot be maintained for a long time, but it is still okay to do it once or twice occasionally.
The next day at noon, Editor-in-Chief Kang called and confirmed that "The Three-Body Problem" could be signed and the first part would be released first.
If the sales are good, then write the second part.
Lin Chudong's first 50,000 words had already fascinated him. If "The Beginning" could not be considered science fiction, then this "Three-Body" was definitely science fiction.
Some of the professional scientific knowledge involved in it were all cutting-edge technologies that humans were studying.
I didn't expect Da Fei to be so knowledgeable about science, and the imagination of the story was so wild that I was fascinated by the outline alone, not to mention the story that was linked together.
The characters in the plot were flesh and blood, especially the setting of the Three-Body world was simply too subversive.
The scene of people forming computers was described quite well. When the shocking scene emerged in his mind, even Editor Kang, who had read countless manuscripts, had to admire Da Fei's talent.
Thirty million soldiers imitating computers, this idea was too novel.
After hanging up the phone with Editor Kang, Lin Chudong sent the proofread complete version directly without saying a word.
Editor Kang was sitting in the office at this time, and was about to go off work after calling Da Fei.
He picked up the coffee cup and drank the remaining coffee.
He leaned back in the chair and twisted his neck, as if he had let go of all the fatigue of the day.
Just as he was about to turn off the computer, there was a ding-dong sound, and the email alerted him.
Kang Wenxue opened the email and saw a document in it.
"The Three-Body Problem" - full text, 220,000 words."
Kang Wenxue was stunned.
Didn't he just finish the manuscript and asked him to write it later? How could he finish it now?
Kang Wenxue quickly put on his glasses and clicked to check.
Then, looking at the novel of more than 200,000 words, he fell into deep thought and deep self-doubt.
More than 200,000 words, it is impossible to finish writing in such a short time, which means that he had finished it a long time ago and sent it directly after the manuscript was approved.
But the problem is that he started writing before the manuscript was approved.
What if it is not approved, wouldn’t the more than 200,000 words be written in vain?
What if he or the editor-in-chief puts forward some revision suggestions, wouldn’t it be necessary to make large-scale changes later?
Does he have the confidence that the manuscript can be approved without revision?
Da Fei is too conceited, right?
But... he does have the capital to be conceited.
This manuscript, as long as it is read by a senior editor, can see that it is definitely a hit.
Speaking of the novel alone, it is definitely more profound and more attractive than "The Beginning".
The brain hole, logic, and plot setting in it are all top-notch. This work definitely has the potential to be a phenomenal hit.
Kang Wenxue continued to read the next 50,000 words, and the more he read, the more shocked he was.
His wife called him, and he hesitated for a moment and said.
"I'm working overtime at the company, so you don't have to wait for me to eat."
"Ah? Overtime again!" Kang Wenxue has been very busy recently, and his family members are a little complaining.
"Well, I'll go back after reading for a while."
When human desires expand to a certain extent, they must be satisfied. If they are not satisfied, they will feel very uncomfortable.
Although it only takes 20 minutes to go home, he has been hooked by the plot of this book. He wants to read it immediately and can't wait for 20 minutes.
Suddenly, the editor-in-chief Zheng Yu walked in.
"Old Kang, are you not going to get off work yet?"
Kang Wenxue said, "Editor-in-chief Zheng, Dafei's book has been sent."
"Well, I know, haven't I read it? The profit ratio you said is OK." Zheng Yu was also quite satisfied with the opening of "The Three-Body Problem". He hadn't read such an attractive novel in many years.
"No... Editor-in-chief Zheng, Dafei sent the whole book."
"Ah?"
Zheng Yu sat down and stared at Kang Wenxue's screen, his face full of shock.
"It's written too fast, right? This is well prepared. Send it to me so I can take a look."
The two worked overtime in the publishing house until late at night.
It was agreed to go home in a while, but several hours passed.
After reading it, the two couldn't calm down for a long time.
Zheng Yu said, "The literary world is going to produce a demon."
...
Zhou Shifang was still showing off his presence from time to time.
He dug out some of Dafei's previous literary works and criticized them.
Except for "The Clay Pot and the Iron Pot", he basically belittled them all.
After all, the fable "The Clay Pot and the Iron Pot" was included in the Chinese textbook. If he criticized it casually, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the Textbook Bureau?
Dafei scolded him too harshly before. In the past, when he scolded others, he was a little more reserved, but this time it was too direct.
From a distance, it was a dog, and from a close look, it was a Japanese dog. When he got to the front, oh, Mr. Zhou Shifang.
This sentence is now overwhelming, especially for Zhou Shifang, who often reads comments about himself, so big data pushes it to him crazily.
Including his family, friends, and die-hard fans, all were pushed by big data.
Zhou Shifang also has many colleagues with whom he has a bad relationship. He was laughed at by them and wanted to repost Dafei's Weibo.
Zhou Shifang held it in for several days and replied with a short essay.
He listed several famous Western works, all of which were similar to Dafei's "The Beginning".
The general meaning was that this was the ceiling of science fiction and suspense novels.
Dafei's works were just online cool works in the guise of science fiction, brainless and without substance.
Look at the ceiling of other people's novels, look at his "Ten Thousand Years Later", which one did not win numerous awards?
Dafei's books can only be regarded as fast food literature that caters to the market.
Not to mention others, his "Ten Thousand Years Later" is an existence that Dafei can never surpass.
...
Seeing Zhou Shifang's words, Liang Yin was very angry.
This group of literary people is really annoying. If it were from other industries, even if it was the mutual spray between colleagues in the entertainment industry, it would not feel so hateful.
Just like the musician Wang Xi before, he also satirized Dafei on the Internet.
Although it is annoying, it is not painful.
And this Zhou Shifang's words are sharp and disgusting, stealing concepts and making specious arguments, which makes people angry.
Liang Yin took a deep breath and felt that her underwear was one size smaller.
She put the phone in front of Lin Chudong and pointed at it.
"Da Fei, get on the line and curse back!"
