Chapter 164 My Popularity Is Not for Nothing!

Unconsciously, Xiaoting has been standing here for nearly twenty minutes.

Her knees were a little sore, and she realized it. She closed the book with a look of deep shock on her face.

This book is so shocking!

The description of the Three-Body Civilization is beyond Xiaoting's imagination.

And many of the cutting-edge scientific and technological knowledge in physics are written in great detail.

And many scientific and technological conjectures that have not been studied are also very logical.

The imagination of this book is really strong!

Xiaoting bought the two books and planned to read them all in one go in the dormitory.

The lively girl returned to the dormitory and saw Xiaoting still reading. She was a little shocked and said.

"You are still reading, don't you want to eat lunch?"

Xiaoting shook her head, "I'll eat after I finish reading."

"Have you read both books? Is Dafei's book good?"

Xiaoting nodded, "Good."

"Better than Teacher Zhou's?"

Xiaoting pushed her glasses, "It's not at the same level at all, crushing."

...

Feiyang Publishing House, Editor-in-Chief He and Kang Wenxue are having lunch.

Editor He said, "Old Kang, you are taking a risk this time. You rejected Zhou Shifang's manuscript. If he wins first place in the essay contest, how will you explain it to the editor-in-chief?"

Kang Wenxue said, "Don't worry about it. I have discussed this with the editor-in-chief. Do you think the editor-in-chief would agree to use Dafei's book in the essay contest if he doesn't think highly of Dafei's manuscript?"

Editor He said, "How is the data? Didn't you ask?"

"I didn't ask. It's only the first day. The sales should be about the same. If you want to distance yourself, you have to wait a few days."

Kang Wenxue looked at the data from the bookstore. Dafei's book is still selling well, but Zhou Shifang's book is also selling well. Both books are very popular.

There is no difference at present.

"Have you read "Alien Home"?"

"I have, it's OK, the world view is very strange, but the plot is not very attractive."

"Didn't Zhou Shifang say he would expose the fake Da Fei, is there any news?"

"It seems not, Da Fei's book seems to have no logical errors, impeccable, with his level, he definitely can't find any."

...

There are also many people urging Zhou Shifang online.

"The Three-Body Problem has been published, Teacher Zhou, please comment quickly, and slap Da Fei in the face and make him ashamed!"

"That's right, waiting for Teacher Zhou's review. Da Fei is an actor, and the science fiction he wrote must be full of loopholes, which will be exposed in front of Teacher Zhou."

" x-on:Zhou Shifang, Teacher Zhou, please update quickly, you haven't finished reading it yet, right?"

"..."

Sitting in front of the desk, Zhou Shifang looked at the Three-Body Problem in front of him and fell into deep thought.

This book overturned his three views, and even opened up his pattern of alien novels.

The logic is rigorous and there are no loopholes.

He even had to look up a lot of scientific knowledge on the Internet before he could understand it, and some bold scientific conjectures were consistent with the conjectures of those scientists.

Zhou Shifang couldn't find any faults at all. He had already boasted, but he couldn't write it down.

He finished reading the book in one breath, and his three views were completely overturned.

How could Da Fei have such a level?

Zhou Shifang hesitated for a moment and replied online.

"I couldn't read it after reading a few chapters. It's boring."

This evaluation is reasonable, right? I would like to review it, but I can't read it. If I can read it, I will definitely find many loopholes.

Anyway, Zhou Shifang has this attitude, and others can say whatever they want.

Suddenly, Da Fei's fans began to fight back.

"If you don't understand, just say you don't understand. Do you understand the three-body phenomenon in astronomy? You don't understand the universal gravitation of three stars, right?"

"That's right, if you want to write a novel, just write a novel. You pretend to be a scientist and find loopholes in Dafei. Do you have that ability?"

"If you want to find fault with Dafei's plot, maybe you can find fault with it. But if you say it's a problem with logic or scientific knowledge, it seems that you can't do it."

"Zhou Shigou, stop riding on Dafei's popularity. Do you really think you can sell well by riding on Dafei?"

"..."

Zhou Shifang was not angry. The more he saw these fans scolding him, the happier he was.

Now that the new book is released, riding on Dafei's popularity, the sales of the book may double.

Almost every Weibo post of Zhou Shifang is riding on Dafei's popularity, and they are all about his own book. Many fans feel a little disgusted.

...

Xishuangbanna.

Lin Qiqi was riding an elephant and having fun with a happy face. Lin Chudong acted as a photographer below and took a lot of photos of her.

Lin Qiqi is so photogenic. She is beautiful in every angle. She looks good in every photo.

The shooting location has been selected. Sun Xuan is discussing it. Lin Chudong and Lin Qiqi are going out to play when they are free. It really feels like a vacation.

In the evening, before the two returned to the hotel, Lin Chudong bought a book "Alien Home".

Back to the hotel, Lin Qiqi said.

"We have to leave tomorrow. Time is too fast!"

Lin Qiqi lay on the bed, looking reluctant. The vacation time is too short.

Lin Chudong said, "Don't you have two days off? Help me record a program. You can talk to Sister Song about the price."

Lin Qiqi was excited, "Okay, wait, I'll call Sister Song."

A few minutes later, Lin Qiqi said, "Sister Song said two million per issue, and you can bring a mobile phone sponsor."

Lin Chudong nodded. The money from the sponsor was not for him, but for CCTV. But the station should at least share some of the two million per episode, right?

If they really don't share, it's acceptable. Lin Qiqi can't be in every episode. Recording two episodes is enough.

"I'll talk to Director Sun on the plane tomorrow. Let's take a rest first."

Lin Chudong held "Alien Home" and read it carefully.

He saw the online news about Zhou Shifang riding on his popularity. He didn't respond for the time being, but it doesn't mean he won't respond.

Do you think his popularity is just riding on it?

Lin Chudong will make him pay the price.

The idea of ​​this book is quite novel. It tells the story of an ancient scientist in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties who traveled to the alien world, learned a lot of technology, and came back to change the world.

This theme is quite novel, but there are many logical loopholes.

After reading it, Lin Chudong posted on Weibo.

"I have carefully read the book "Alien Homeland" and have a few questions for Mr. Zhou."

"First, the protagonist of your book is a scientist in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, but when he was solving mathematical problems, he used Lagrange's mean value theorem. Not to mention whether this mathematical law was introduced to China at that time, the timeline alone is problematic."

"Lagrange's mean value theorem was proposed in 1797, which is the late Qing Dynasty. Your protagonist is a person from the Ming Dynasty. Did he propose it himself? Then it shouldn't be called Lagrange's mean value theorem? It should be named after your own protagonist."

"Second, the technology on the alien planet you wrote about has officially stepped into the stage of Entering the quantum era, quantum technology is widely used in weapons and life. But when they fight against other planets, they still use nuclear fission weapons, that is, the principle of atomic bombs. Isn't this nonsense? It's like an army that has developed missiles, but still uses cold weapons to fight, which is completely unreasonable. "

"Third, when you describe alien technology, you have written that they have developed materials that exceed the speed of light, so the theory of relativity has already been broken. These aliens are still using the theory of relativity as the basis of physics. Isn't this a contradiction? Mr. Zhou has never read the theory of relativity? "

"..."

Lin Chudong's reading notes were published.

It caused an uproar instantly.

"Fuck, Dafei commented on Zhou Shifang's book!"

"Zhou Shigou, come out and take the challenge, hahahaha, Dafei really took action, he can't just sit there and watch you keep riding on the popularity."

"Dafei is too professional, I've read "Alien Home", and I didn't think of these things when I read it."

"Indeed, Zhou Shifang looks very professional on the surface, but he is actually a pseudo-science fan. He is not at that level at all, but he still wants to write these things. Now there are so many loopholes, right?"

"It's really embarrassing, Zhou Shifang failed to expose Dafei's fake, but was exposed by Dafei instead, what a loser."

"After hearing what Dafei said, I instantly fell in love with this book I don't want to read it any more."

"Me too, I have already quit online. They can't even write this logic clearly, and they claim to be the best in science fiction. It's funny."

"I have finished reading it. I thought it was okay, but after listening to Dafei's words, I felt like I was fed shit by Zhou Shifang. Give me back my money!"

"Zhou Shifang is wrong because he has to label himself as a scientific scholar. You are just a novelist, why do you have to pretend to be so cool?"

"Dafei specializes in slapping people who pretend to be cool, haha!"

"Who gave you the courage to provoke Dafei, was it Sister Deng?"

"I won't buy the book anymore, goodbye!"

"..."

After reading Dafei's post and the comments of netizens.

Zhou Shifang's forehead immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

He quickly opened the electronic version of his book, and then began to look up information online. Sure enough, it was very consistent with what Dafei said.

If it is said that aliens have entered the quantum technology stage and are still using nuclear weapons, this is considered to be nitpicking, which is reasonable.

But for the other points, he has no way to refute them.

As for the theory of relativity, he has not studied it so thoroughly.

As for Lagrange's mean value theorem, he also forgot to check it. Who knew that Lagrange, that idiot, proposed this law in the late Qing Dynasty?

Zhou Shifang was so confused at this time that he wanted to write something to explain it, but found that he couldn't explain it at all.

He sent a private message to Dafei on Weibo.

"Delete your Weibo, let's reconcile. I will also delete the Weibo posts I said about you before. How about that?"

After sending it, an exclamation mark was displayed. He was blocked!

...

The next day, Zhou Shifang received a call from the publishing house.

The sales of "Alien Home" plummeted today. After a whole morning, the sales volume did not exceed 100 copies.

This data is extremely bleak!

The editor-in-chief of the publishing house did not give Zhou Shifang face and did not say anything nice.

If you can get the popularity well, you are considered capable. In the end, you have done this. Isn't this a burden to the publishing house?

Considering Zhou Shifang's fame, the publishing house directly placed an order for 500,000 copies with the printing factory. Now, looking at the situation, let alone 500,000 copies, even 100,000 copies may not be sold!

Stupid!

Zhou Shifang was as hopeless as death.

…

The day after returning to the Magic City, Sun Xuan called.

Regarding Lin Qiqi's announcement fee, the station is willing to pay 1 million, and Dafei will pay the remaining 1 million from the production budget for two issues.

And they promised that the program would no longer have sponsors, only "Audition" and TT mobile phone brands sponsored it.

It is estimated that the mobile phone side gave a lot of money, so Jingcheng TV was so generous.

This time, "Longing for Pastoral Life" was basically invested by Liangyin Media, which gave 2 million for equipment and labor costs, and the rest was all paid by their company, which was equivalent to the sponsorship fee of "Audition".

That night, everyone shot promotional posters in Shanghai and sent them directly to Sun Xuan.

Sun Xuan saw the poster and smiled, "It's convenient to cooperate with Dafei, he can do this himself."

Sun Xuan, the producer, seemed to have become a tool man, and seemed to have no effect. All the work was done by Dafei.

That night, Jingcheng TV released a preview.

"The recording of "Longing for Pastoral Life" will start tomorrow and premiere on the weekend. The first episode of the guest lineup is as follows."

"Dafei, Cheng Huanhuan, and Tian Yingxiong are permanent guests. The first episode of the mysterious guest, please look forward to it."

Although there was only a silhouette, many people also guessed that it was Lin Qiqi.

Reality shows are like this, giving the audience room to guess, but in fact many people have already known it.

"Da Fei and Cheng Huanhuan are permanent guests? This show is a comedy show, right?"

"The elephant locked in the refrigerator hasn't come out yet, but they are actually going to perform a reality show."

"Haha, the scene of wearing a vest is still vivid in my mind."

"This show is worth watching. Da Fei is finally a permanent guest. Let's see what sparks Da Fei can create with the guests this time."

"The setting of this show doesn't seem interesting. It's just a pastoral life?"

"The focus is not on the pastoral life, but on Da Fei and Sister Huan. I wonder if Da Fei will do something."

"Now you have to watch Da Fei when watching variety shows, the mainstay of variety shows."

"..."

At the same time, Zhang Yiran also released a reality show, "Life by the Sea".

This is something no one expected.

This seems to be Zhang Yiran's debut reality show. As a queen of the music industry, Sister Zhang has never participated in a reality show.

And this time "Life by the Sea" is said to be a big production, and the producer is her sister Zhang Yina.

The reality show produced by the Zhang sisters has six sponsors.

And the guest lineup is very strong, all of them are big names in the film and television industry, handsome men and beautiful women, and the production budget must be calculated in billions.

The first episode has two top traffic stars, Zhang Yiran and Li Zhilin, as well as a young idol like Wu Bo.

Li Zhilin has been to many reality shows, showing many of his talents, and he has a heavy idol burden.

Wu Bo became popular because of the love variety show a while ago, and his straight male cancer personality brought him a lot of traffic.

This time, "Life by the Sea" records the lives of several top stars who camped overnight by the sea.

Just looking at this theme, it seems to collide with "Longing for Pastoral Life"!

Sun Xuan frowned when he saw this news.

Sent a WeChat message to Dafei.

"Do you know about Zhang Yiran's show? It seems to be broadcast on Mango TV."

Lin Chudong: I just found out about it too.

Sun Xuan: Do you want to avoid it?

Lin Chudong: No.

Sun Xuan: Why not?

Lin Chudong: Because I’m not afraid.

Sun Xuan: Why not?

Lin Chudong: No, I’m not afraid.

Sun Xuan: A little awkward.

Lin Chudong: Haha, it’s really awkward. The news that we’re doing this show probably hasn’t been leaked. It might just be a coincidence. Winter is over, so naturally someone will think of doing a reality show in this area. Brother Sun, there’s no need to be afraid of them.

Sun Xuan: Well, let’s do everything as usual. We’ll record the show tomorrow. I’ll take the team and you take the guests. We’ll meet in Yunnan.

…

The next day, Wutuo Town, Xishuangbanna.

Before filming, a general meeting was held.

Lin Chudong said, "Everyone, I am honored to be the director of this episode. Next, I will tell you about the precautions, especially the prop teachers."

"The props must be made according to my requirements. We will make it what the rural life is like. Don't make anything out of the play."

"This time, our reality show focuses on rural life. It must be real. The state of the artists must be shot realistically. Don't pose or be artificial."

"For example, when I get up, my hair will definitely be messed up. Remember to give a close-up of the messy hair."

"The guests here are all my people. They don't have idol baggage. Don't worry."

"Then after the official start, Brother Sun will be the chief director. I don't know anything. Don't ask me!"

Several directors laughed. This is how reality shows are. It is impossible to have no script at all.

These rules were designed by Dafei himself, but Dafei pretended not to know. It was hard for him.

Sun Xuan completely became a tool director.

"Okay, everyone is ready. The lighting and props are ready and we can start!"

...

Beijing TV Station

Zhang Qinxue saw that many people in the station had been transferred out, and she said to a middle-aged woman in front of her with some concern.

"Director Huang, is Sun Xuan's program colliding with Zhang Yiran's?"

The middle-aged woman in front of her was Huang Tianran, the deputy director of Beijing TV.

Zhang Qinxue had just finished "Crossover Singer", and the ratings of the program were not bad, especially the finals were quite successful.

As a conservative, Zhang Qinxue's courage to broadcast live was already a great progress.

This time I was very surprised when I heard about Taili's decision.

The production of the entire variety show is entirely handed over to Sun Xuan and Da Fei's company. This kind of operation is simply unheard of.

Huang Tianran smiled faintly, "If a car crashes, it will crash. This show is backed by Dafei's company. Aren't you very optimistic about Dafei? What's there to worry about?"

The production budget is huge, and the station has already made a fortune in advertising fees before it even starts broadcasting. It will definitely not lose money.

If this show becomes popular, the benefits to the station will be huge.

Zhang Qinxue said, "Da Fei is really good at singing and good at comedy, but planning a reality show doesn't feel very reliable to me."

"Although Lin Qiqi is here, she is not a permanent guest after all. With Zhang Yiran and Li Zhilin as the two top stars, plus Wu Bo, a newly popular singer, the effect will definitely be better than here."

"Mango Channel's ratings have always been higher than ours, and I'm afraid it will overturn again this time."

Huang Tianran said, "Let's see, if it turns over, it will overturn. Anyway, Sun Xuan is not from our station. He will go back after putting on a show. We have a gap in the show now, so let him do it."

Zhang Qinxue nodded, "I hope it won't be too miserable."

Jingchengtai didn't regard Sun Xuan as one of them at all. It was really difficult for him to show off his talents here.

If it weren't for Dafei's exclusive sponsorship this time, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to do this show.

…

I recorded two episodes of the show at once, and as soon as I returned to Shanghai, Editor Kang called me.

"Da Fei, let me tell you good news. The sales of "The Three-Body Problem" have exceeded 50,000, and it's only been a week! This sales volume is much higher than "The Beginning"."

Lin Chudong said, "That's good, Editor Kang has taken the trouble."

Kang Wenxue was a little surprised that Lin Chudong was so calm.

But considering that Da Fei is so famous now, there seems to be nothing exciting about a book becoming popular.

But the popularity of this book is a bit ridiculous. It’s not like they haven’t done science fiction novels before. For the entire reading market, science fiction novels are actually relatively unpopular.

Not many people watch science fiction, most of them focus on romance.

And this time, the sales of "The Three-Body Problem" are simply terrifying. Not only does it lead in the field of science fiction novels, but it also ranks first in sales across all platforms, beating all novels of the same period.

According to this trend, sales may exceed one million within three months!

Editor Kang said, "Da Fei, when are you going to release the sequel?"

Lin Chudong said, "Before October 1 this year, there are two more movies to come, and I will release them together."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you. I'll let you know when there's news later."

Lin Chudong can write it now. After all, a [Memory Search Card] can directly search the entire collection.

But if we finish it now, the profit effect will be a little less, and the front line will be lengthened, so the profit will be a little more.

Many writers can rely on this book for a lifetime to make a popular book. They extend the sequel indefinitely and just refuse to finish it.

Although this can maximize profits, the reputation will also be weakened.

After everyone has read your first book, it is actually better for readers to release the second one when their expectations are highest.

Besides, it doesn't take much effort for Lin Chudong to write a book. He just needs to find time to finish it.

I asked about the review of "Bright Sword" and found that it was basically over. Some review opinions were put forward and editing was still needed to make changes.

Fortunately, the review opinions are not outrageous, and even after the editing is completed, it will not affect the overall viewing.

It is estimated that "Bright Sword" will be released in a week.

…

On Saturday, Beijing TV Station, "Longing for Pastoral Life" will premiere at 8pm prime time.

The main reason is that there really aren't any good programs on Beijing TV. Sun Xuan didn't have any pressure to get a prime time slot, so Huang Tianran approved it directly.

At the same time, Mango TV's "Seaside Life" was also broadcast, and the two variety shows began competing for ratings.

"Longing for Pastoral Life" was announced first, but Zhang Yiran and the others did not change the time, which shows that the other party is very confident and wants to compete with you.

The trio of Liang Yin, Jia Lu, and Su Yulin prepared potato chips and sat in front of the TV.

"If I had known better, I would have bought a few more TVs, which would have improved the ratings."

Lin Chudong was speechless, "The TVs I bought use the same line. Besides, there is no need to fake this program."

Liang Yin nodded. If Da Fei said yes, then it would definitely work.
