Huayu 1995

Chapter 309 You have to have some shame!

"I actually like Gu Long's style, but I can't write like that, haha~"

Su Chao offered a brief explanation.

In terms of writing style alone, Su Chao prefers Gu Long to Jin Yong.

Why did you decide to write this novel?

Zhang Fei will cooperate with Su Chao to do some publicity.

The publishing industry is quite developed in Taiwan, and selling novels can be quite profitable. Moreover, once a novel becomes popular, it may be adapted into a film or television series, which will make even more money.

"Last year, when I first came to Beijing, I passed by Princess Tomb, and the peculiar name of the place caught my attention."

That's right, Su Chao copied "Bad Pig Princess" from Qiong Yao's work, even the source of the idea is exactly the same.

As the saying goes, "Walk on someone else's path, and leave them with no path to walk."

"Why is the place named like this?"

Fei Yu-ching was very curious.

"Legend has it that during the Qing Dynasty, a commoner woman was adopted by Emperor Qianlong as his goddaughter. After her death, she was buried here with the title of 'Gege' (princess), hence the name 'Princess Tomb'."

Su Chao gave a brief explanation.

"This kind of novel should be very suitable for adaptation into a film or television series, right?"

This wasn't a question Zhang Fei wanted to raise, but rather one that Su Chao had discussed beforehand.

This variety show wasn't entirely without a script, but it lacked a specific script and only outlined a general scope.

This is one of the few issues that Su Chao has requested to be discussed.

Fei Yuqing and the others did not know Su Chao's purpose.

"I do intend to adapt this folk princess's story into a film or television series. I am currently looking for a suitable partner. However, I value this story very much and hope to present a high-quality work like 'Too Softhearted' to the audience. So I may be very picky."

Su Chao has no plans to adapt "Bad Pig Princess" into a film or television series at the moment.

He's lying now.

It's like fishing.

The bait and groundbait used by anglers are definitely not for raising fish, but to lure big fish to bite.

With such a novel suitable for film and television adaptation available, many people will surely be interested in collaborating with it.

Just make excuses to delay it.

You can easily catch all the fish that are interested and turn them into mandarin fish.

"I'm really looking forward to it. We really need to do a good job. We viewers aren't stupid; everyone likes high-quality productions."

Fei Yu-ching greatly admires Su Chao's attitude towards his career.

Young people these days are too impetuous.

People like Su Chao, who are willing to settle down and meticulously craft their works, are becoming increasingly rare.

"Therefore, I hope that my fellow writers will not plagiarize my novels just because I am meticulously crafting them, and I also hope that my fellow screenwriters will not imitate my stories. I further hope that my audience and fans will give this newcomer more room to grow and help resist those who plagiarize my stories."

There's absolutely nothing wrong with what I'm saying.

Since nobody knew that Su Chao's novel was plagiarized, naturally nobody could measure the thickness of his skin.

Su Chao didn't get the script for "Bad Pig Princess" because he wanted to make money and promote himself through it.

His main concern was that he didn't want the work to follow its original trajectory and become a massive hit.

However, simply publishing a novel is not a safe bet.

What if the novel's sales are just average?

What if Qiong Yao hadn't read this novel?

A writer of her caliber would likely never read a novel written by a singer.

If she were to actually write a similar version of "Bad Pig Princess," things would become very strange.

Are you saying the older woman plagiarized?

Or did Su Chao steal the manuscript?

Therefore, Su Chao wanted to expand the influence of his novel.

In addition, we should try our best to reduce the risk of being copied.

Hong Kong and Taiwan films and television dramas are highly homogenized and do not shy away from plagiarism. For example, Wong Kar-wai made a film called "Ip Man," but before he could finish it, "Ip Man 3" was already released.

Su Chao is now playing the victim on variety shows, so people should really think twice before copying his novels and stories.

After all... just as he himself said, he was just a newbie, not even nineteen years old.

People with some standing in the industry, when copying his work, will more or less have to consider saving face. They have to have some dignity, right?

Moreover, "Too Softhearted" is incredibly popular.

Su Chao, a songwriter and singer, played the victim on the show, almost begging everyone to give him a way out.

If you really plagiarize him and create a Qing Dynasty-style fake princess drama based on his story structure, believe me, those brainless fans will kill you.

Not only can you not plagiarize, you also have to be careful when writing a script to avoid accidentally copying the same material.

When it comes to scheming... the god of scheming—Soviet bitch—has never been afraid of anyone.

Creating obstacles for "Bad Pig Princess" was one of the main reasons he came to Taiwan to participate in a variety show.

"Actually, Su Chao is still a kid, nineteen years old, just debuted. Everyone should take care of him as much as possible."

Fei Yu-ching himself felt that he should protect this child.

"Isn't it almost time for our program today? Let me sing one more song for everyone!"

What song should we sing?

Zhang Fei followed up on Su Chao's question and asked.

“I wrote a song called ‘World’s Number One’ for Brother Hua. The album is currently selling well. I want to learn from Brother Hua and see if I can sing it with the same feeling as the song.”

Who wouldn't love Su Chao?

They spoke so beautifully.

As a songwriter, he could simply repurchase the songs he sold and sing them again.

But he insisted that he wanted to learn from Andy Lau.

This makes people feel very good about you.

"Do you know any Hokkien songs?"

Zhang Fei was very surprised.

"He wrote this..."

Fei Yu-ching reminded his brother that he could write songs in Hokkien, and you even asked him if he could sing in Hokkien.

Is not this nonsensical?

"I know a little bit~"

Su Chao used some internet slang from later generations.

A tiny bit~
"This song is dedicated to my friends in Taiwan. Welcome to visit relatives and travel to the mainland... Life's scenery is like the surging winds of the sea, sometimes fierce, sometimes calm. My dear friends, please be careful..."

The program was about to end at this point.

The runtime is definitely over, and some parts may need to be cut later, such as certain overly vulgar jokes.

After Su Chao finished singing, the show officially ended.

The production team treated Su Chao to a meal at a restaurant, since everyone was starving as they hadn't had lunch yet.

Su Chao brought Zhou Jielun and Zhang Feiyu with him.

They'll all be working for Su Chao to earn money in the future, so providing them with a meal shouldn't be a problem.

Of course, Lin Zhimeng should also bring her along.

After dinner, Su Chao took Jay Chou to the afternoon's creative salon.

Such exchange activities take place every year.

Different circles also have private exchange activities.

Therefore, the exchange event initiated by Sony Music was not abrupt, nor was it launched under the guise of entertaining Su Chao.

At most, I knew about that creative genius from the mainland before I came, and I will also be exchanging ideas with everyone.

"nervous?"

Su Chao asked Zhou Jielun if, in a few years, all these people would be people Zhou Jielun would beat to a pulp.

For a considerable period of time, Jay Chou reigned supreme.

However, at this moment, Zhou Jielun is a confused senior high school student living in the shadow of Su Chao.

"Don't be nervous. I'm with you, big brother. There's no need to be nervous. None of them are as good as you, big brother!"

Jay Chou has completely lost his previous rebellious nature.

They've even started to show signs of becoming die-hard fans.

As long as he sticks to following Su Chao, he'll eventually be able to create songs like "A Thousand Miles Away".
