Chapter 66 Popular with the public
Yang Xiren's words soon came true. The next morning, Liu's father bought a lot of newspapers, all of which were about the broadcast of "The Great Song Dynasty Judge".
Information dissemination is not convenient in this era, and it takes a long time for a piece of news to appear and disappear.
This was the case with novels such as "Class Teacher" and "Scars", which were discussed repeatedly for a long time before they were finally resolved.
The popularity of "The Great Song Dynasty Judge" did not last as long as the previous two, after all, more people from various departments and units participated. When the views are the same, it is difficult to maintain the popularity.
The same should be true for "Da Tang", the popularity will fade in about a month at most. But then the Beijing Railway Station incident came out, so in order to suppress it, the authorities gave it a push from behind, which has kept the popularity of "Da Tang" until now.
Now that "The Judge Advocate of the Song Dynasty" is on air, it is natural to add fuel to the fire. Hence, these reports came out.
However, some opportunists actually began to sing praises. It was obvious that they wanted to please the people above them, but they were too aggressive and looked uncomfortable.
Liu Hongmin was also helpless about this, this was not his original intention at all. However, he just happened to encounter such a thing, and he could only accept this honor with shame.
Liu Hongmin didn't need to worry about the ratings of China Central Television. At that time, there were few televisions and even fewer TV stations, so the audience had few choices.
Therefore, whether a program is popular or not mainly depends on its social influence. The greater the social influence, the better the broadcast effect.
The popularity of "The Judge Advocate of the Song Dynasty" seems to be a bit of a fake ratings. However, the popularity has increased and the influence has been created.
Father Liu looked at the praise in the newspaper with a smile on his face.
"This is good, the praise is very appropriate."
Mother Liu was cleaning the antique desk. Looking at her husband's smug look, she said with contempt, "As if you understand."
"I don't understand, but these people do! They all praise the boss's TV series, so of course it's a good thing."
Liu Hongmin couldn't bear to listen any longer, so he waved to his brothers and sisters, "Come on, I'll take you out to play."
The scenery of Shichahai is pretty good, and there are many fun places. But the real fun will have to wait a few months, when Shichahai freezes over, and you can go ice skating.
There will be countless people on the ice, skating, ice skates, and ice hockey, which will be very lively. Many people in Beijing like to come here to play, and this place carries the memories of Beijing people from childhood to adulthood.
Liu Hongmin rode his bike and took his younger brother and sister for a ride. When they were tired, they found a pavilion to rest.
There were a few old men in the pavilion, playing chess and talking.
"Did you watch TV last night?"
"Yes! You want to ask about the TV of some official in the Song Dynasty, right?"
"Now that you're talking about it, I really wanted to ask this. Although it looks pretty, I always feel awkward."
"It's not awkward at all! This is a crime-solving drama, it's different from a normal TV show."
"Is that so? No wonder it looked wrong!"
Some of the elderly people may not have been exposed to suspense dramas, so it is normal for them to feel awkward watching them.
"This is adapted from a novel. I've read that novel, but I couldn't finish it after just a few pages. It's not suitable for us."
"I've heard about it, too, but my son really likes watching it. He said it was well made and retained the style of the original novel."
"Of course, an old man like me can see it, it's a very good shot." Liu Hongjun poked his elder brother, "They are talking about you!"
Liu Hongmin glared at him and said, "Stop talking nonsense, let's go!"
Liu Hongmin was very encouraged by the old man's evaluation. The fact that the people like to hear and see it is the greatest compliment to him.
On the way home, Liu Hongmin rode his bike much faster.
After returning home, Liu Hongmin dropped his younger brothers and sisters off and went to school.
At school, students are discussing "The Judge Advocate of the Song Dynasty". Although they have not watched the TV series, they can discuss it for a long time after reading the reviews in major newspapers.
Except for those who don't get along with Liu Hongmin, other students are proud of him. They are proud that "The Judge Advocate of the Song Dynasty" was adapted into a TV series and broadcast on China Television.
This is the celebrity effect. The reason why many schools list famous alumni is because it can increase students' sense of identity and honor.
Liu Hongmin, a well-known alumnus at the school, immediately became the target of his classmates, especially the students of the Chinese Department, who often came into contact with Liu Hongmin and were very envious of his talent.
At the same time, they were not convinced. Liu Hongmin, a history major, could become a great writer, so how could we, who studied Chinese, be worse than him?
They are all gifted children, and even though they are just friends, they are still determined to compete with Liu Hongmin.
Among these people, Chen Jiangong was the most outstanding. Before Liu Hongmin appeared, Chen Jiangong was the target that the Chinese Department students were chasing after.
After Liu Hongmin appeared, he surpassed him in an instant. Not only that, Liu Hongmin also brought Zha Jianying with him.
Although there is no size limit for articles, in people's minds, publishing a novel in a magazine is better than writing a piece of tofu in a newspaper.
When Chen Jiangong was still working on writing her first novel, Cha Jianying's "Madam Li" had already been published in "Beijing Literature and Art" and had attracted quite a bit of attention, becoming a role model for women.
If Cha Jianying had not gone abroad to study halfway through his career, he would probably have completed the second and third novels.
And Chen Jiangong hadn't even published a proper novel yet! How could he accept this?
He was not jealous of Liu Hongmin, but felt that he was not up to the task. He did not want to compete with Liu Hongmin, but he also did not want to be left too far behind by Liu Hongmin.
I listened attentively to the classmates around me about the TV series, but my eyes were fixed on the "Contemporary" in my hand.
He was studying Liu Hongmin's writing techniques to see if there was any way to learn from them. In fact, these things were taught by the teacher and Chen Jiangong had also learned them, but when it came time to use them, he forgot about them.
The most important thing is that Chen Jiangong found that the biggest gap was not the writing skills, but the ability to tell stories.
Looking at the words in the book, he could imagine the lonely smoke in the desert and the interaction between the two protagonists.
This made Chen Jiangong examine himself and wonder whether he was suitable for writing novels.
Liu Hongmin didn't know that his success made Chen Jiangong start to doubt his life.
He is now surrounded by a large group of students who want to hear Liu Hongmin's opinions on "The Tang Dynasty" and "The Inspector General of the Song Dynasty".
Liu Hongmin stopped the noise of the crowd with a loud voice, and then said: "Students, everyone has a different perspective on things. My own evaluation is not important. Your true thoughts are important. If you think they are good, they are good; if you think they are nonsense, they are nonsense."
