Chapter 948: Chapter 879 The Legend of the Condor Heroes

Chapter 948 -879 The Legend of the Condor Heroes

Lin Yuan gave up struggling.

He would never touch “PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds” again in his life.

To play again is foolish!

After shutting off the computer, Lin Yuan summoned the System to check his reputation in various fields.

Recently, the reputation in both painting and gaming categories had been rising particularly fast, clearly surpassing the other fields—

The rise in painting reputation was definitely due to the impact of those five paintings at the Yu Dynasty Hotel;

The rise in gaming reputation was because of the recent popularity of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, as players like Lin Yuan were a minority.

At present,

His gaming reputation had reached 345,653.

This figure was a significant improvement over before, but Lin Yuan did not choose gaming as his next main focus.

The reason was simple.

The input and reputation feedback of gaming were too long, needing at least several months at the base.

By comparison,

The easiest way for Lin Yuan to gain reputation was still through music, novels, and painting—the classic three categories.

There were five more years in the lifespan task.

Although it wasn’t urgent, Lin Yuan still hoped to complete this task soon so he could be completely at ease.

However…

Currently, besides gaming, music and painting were also areas Lin Yuan planned to slow down.

He had just become a Maestro.

Lin Yuan had been active on the seasonal leaderboard for an entire twelve months last year; continuing to dominate the leaderboard in every way would elicit dissatisfaction from other Maestros.

As for painting, it was because Lin Yuan did not want to frequently use Paintfection.

Without using Paintfection, Lin Yuan did not want to paint ordinary paintings because they posed an appreciation threshold and might give people the illusion of “Shadow’s declining quality,” especially to those who required the skill of Paintfection to appreciate the artistic conceptions of those paintings.

This was not what Lin Yuan wanted to see.

Thus, he could only choose novels as the main direction going forward.

It wasn’t just because it was inconvenient for Lin Yuan to engage in music and painting, but mainly because his sister mentioned that the Literature and Art Association was planning some kind of literary festival.

This kind of award setting was tailor-made for Chu Kuang!

It so happened that Lin Yuan had always been planning to make Chu Kuang more active, and this fit perfectly into the scheme.

Considering this,

Lin Yuan went to the company.

Upon arriving at the company, Lin Yuan turned on the computer, started setting up a document, and simultaneously pondered the work that would involve Chu Kuang next.

Beside him,

Gu Dong skillfully brewed tea for Lin Yuan, brought the tea to Lin Yuan’s desk, and suddenly said, “Mr. Lin, have you heard about the matter with the Tribe?”

“What’s happened with the Tribe again?”

Lin Yuan was very sensitive to these two words.

Gu Dong heard the dissatisfaction in Lin Yuan’s tone.

It seemed that Mr. Lin really disliked the Tribe.

Feeling reflective, Gu Dong spoke, “Due to the popularity of ‘Yang Xiaofan and Qin Tiange’, there have been many more martial arts dramas on the market, following our lead, including a few that have become quite popular. The audience’s interest in martial arts dramas has noticeably increased, and with the newly integrated Zhao people who particularly love martial arts dramas, even martial arts novels always have decent sales there, as they do favor historical genres. Thus, the potential market is immense, and the company plans to specifically focus on this by remaking another martial arts classic. For this, we even sought out Lancet, who had previously collaborated with our company, and invited him to personally adapt his work.”

Lancet is the author of ‘Yang Xiaofan and Qin Tiange.’

As one of Blue Star’s top martial arts masters, he has not only ‘Yang Xiaofan and Qin Tiange’ but also many other classic works.

Basically,

All major film and TV companies on Blue Star who want to remake various classic martial arts dramas cannot bypass the works of Lancet and a few other top martial arts masters.

Lin Yuan frowned, “What does this have to do with the Tribe?”

Gu Dong shook his head, “The company was interested in one of Lancet’s representative works ‘Trap the Tiger’. The negotiations were going smoothly until last night when the Tribe suddenly cut in ahead of us and bought the TV adaptation rights to this work. As a result, Minister Zhao Jue was severely reprimanded by some leaders. Additionally, they copied our approach by promising Lancet that he would personally adapt this work.”

Speaking of this,

Gu Dong suddenly pouted,

“It is said that after Lancet saw Chu Kuang’s adaptation of ‘Yang Xiaofan and Qin Tiange’, he was so upset that he couldn’t eat or sleep well for several days. He complained to many people that Chu Kuang’s adaptation was outrageous and completely betrayed his original intention of the creation. So this time, he insisted on nobody else adapting it but himself. Perhaps his decision to cooperate with the Tribe was also due to his dissatisfaction with us since it was our company that initially invited Chu Kuang to take on the task of adapting that drama. Wasn’t it just about writing characters to death? Was there a need to be so overly cautious?”

Lin Yuan: “…”

He felt like he was the scapegoat.

The Tribe cutting ahead of Starlight, taking the work was because of him; Lancet’s prioritizing cooperation with the Tribe was also because of him. Lin Yuan hadn’t forgotten who the current film and TV head of the Tribe was.

Ling Kong.

Due to different stances, Gu Dong also had no fondness for the Tribe:

“Now the Tribe’s targeting of our Starlight is becoming more frequent. Today, after criticizing Minister Zhao Jue in the meeting room, the chairman publicly declared that the company would go to war with the Tribe, one after Mr. Lin and Yu Dynasty, all of our company’s artists and others will also switch to blogging entirely, abandoning the Tribe as a battleground.”

“Hmm.”

Lin Yuan finally made a sound, his voice flat, revealing none of his thoughts at that moment.

“Actually, it’s not a big deal.”

Gu Dong smiled, “Blue Star doesn’t only have Lancet as a martial arts master. Minister Zhao Jue is already planning to seek collaboration with other martial arts masters. Moreover, martial arts dramas worth remaking are far more than just ‘Trap the Tiger.’

Lin Yuan suddenly asked, “Why must we remake them?”

Gu Dong paused, then said, “It’s decided by the audience. In recent years, original martial arts dramas haven’t been very successful, carrying a significant investment risk. Compared to that, people feel nostalgic about those once-popular classic martial arts dramas, like ‘Yang Xiaofan and Qin Tiange’. That drama was not only popular because of Chu Kuang’s exceptional adaptation but also because it had a very high audience base originally. The drama was full of classic characters that everyone was familiar with. If it weren’t for that, even if Chu Kuang had written those characters to their deaths, it wouldn’t have triggered such a big reaction from the audience.”

Remakes can be popular?

Martial arts rely on nostalgia?

Original martial arts aren’t effective?

Lin Yuan didn’t speak again, but typed five characters on his computer document. If Gu Dong walked behind Lin Yuan, he would definitely see that these characters had a similar resonance with the title ‘Trap the Tiger’:
