Walking the Path of a Workaholic in Cliché Novels (QT) Chapter 145

An Yinong’s comics on the theme of the entertainment industry have more advantages than others. He was very familiar with this industry and had film and television resources to refer to, so the sense of reality would be stronger.

Of course, he can’t stick to reality exactly, otherwise they will lose the sense of mystery. This was how the industry was, and it may even seem a bit dirty. Then the family discovered that the younger brother seemed to be curious about the film and television industry. The uncle didn’t think much about it and said to his son: “If Atong is interested, you can take him around.”

Tian Heng really went to look for him, but An Yinong just shook his head and said, “Don’t bother me, bro. I’m just curious about how an ordinary person can grow into a big star step by step.”

“What’s there to be curious about?” Tian Heng didn’t understand.

An Yinong and Tian Heng analyzed the ordinary people’s curiosity and imagination about the celebrity group.

If, at this time, a variety show or some other talk show could tell the audience this, or vaguely reveal a little bit, many people would definitely watch it, because people are curious, especially about these professions that they don’t usually come into contact with.

Tian Heng was convinced as he listened, but he was curious: “Are you curious?”

If his younger brother wasn’t too young and underage, he would be scolded if he introduced a female star to him. Tian Heng wanted to ask him what female star he liked. If he was curious, he could find a star to get to know in depth.

“One of my cartoonists is interested in this topic, I’ll help collect information.”

“You, as the boss, should do this? I think you are just interested in it and have a childish temper.” Hearing this reason, Tian Heng was really amused. He thought his younger brother had grown up, but he didn’t expect that he was so playful.

An Yinong did not refute, but stretched out his hand to push him to his own office: “Brother, I can just walk around by myself, you are busy, don’t worry about me.”

While collecting materials and creating, An Yinong soon came up with the idea for the next comic book on the entertainment industry. “Superstar”, a comic that combined the entertainment industry and upgrade flow, a comic with a strong female protagonist.

The heroine entered the entertainment industry in order to take revenge on her scumbag father who abandoned her. She was smart, hardworking, realistic to the point of being cold-blooded, and had extremely high emotional intelligence and EQ. She relied on her own abilities to gain opportunities step by step and becomes a superstar.

As she gradually achieved career success and gains family love, friendship and love, the hurt she once suffered would be healed, and she will completely abandon the existence of ‘father’ and will no longer hate or love him. It was about the pursuit of career, personal growth and healing. It was the same type as the Imperial Spirit Girl, but also different.

There was no doubt that this subject was tailor made for “Gu Pan”, with the same gorgeous style as always.

And the background of “Superstar” would be more exquisite. This was exactly the entertainment industry that many people who wanted to be stars dreamed of. All the realistic elements were gently wrapped in gorgeousness. The stage, the clothes, the artists, they all sparkled with luxury and looked very desirable.

“It’s the stuff of dreams tonight.” The assistant felt like tears were about to flow as he looked at those luxury goods and beautiful artists.

An Yinong placed a stack of photos on the table. These were not taken at a film and television company, but were photos of various fashion and high-end products that he had someone collect.

There was also a stack of fashion magazines on the table, some of them foreign. The entertainment industry and luxury goods being linked was not a modern thing. Nowadays, celebrities were the spokespeople for various jewelry, cosmetics, and brand-name cars, so he collected these as materials.

However, just when he was fully prepared and started to paint, Yan Yan (pen name), the sister of Hong Kong’s famous talent, published a new book. The new book tells a poignant love story between a human and a ghost during the Republic of China period, and the slogan is “A True Love Between a Human and a Ghost”.

Hmm? This ‘true’ was very subtle.

What does it mean to be real? You know, the last book mentioned in the book “Ghost” was based on the theme of “Master Teacher”. Immediately afterwards, Yan Yan appeared on TV to promote her new work, which is her second work after her debut.

The elegant and beautiful lady in a light blue dress talked eloquently. She spent three years traveling to many places and collecting a lot of materials to create this book.

“The subject matter itself is relatively serious. It is not a frivolous ghost love story, nor is it a low-level entertainment story to please underage girls. You can see and learn a lot from this book.” Miss Yan Yan in front of the camera tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled at the camera.

“What is Miss Yan Yan’s subject matter?” the host asked curiously.

“On the surface, it looks like a love story between a playwright and a warlord, but it’s not. The most important thing is the love and hatred between the country and the family. It is a criticism of reality, not a superficial love fantasy of a girl.” Yan Yan, “I think that our creations are shouldering a mission, to guide the public, and we need a sense of responsibility.”

“Everyone does like to read vulgar stories, but if a person’s brain is completely occupied by vulgar things, then the brain will be full of dregs, right?”

After that, Yan Yan had a lot more to say. An Yinong bit an apple and looked at her, smiling like a flower. So, it’s not that he’s putting himself in others’ shoes, nor is it that he’s thinking too much, this… was just a challenge.

The rich in Hong Kong are a circle. This talented woman, An Yinong, knows that he is the sister of his eldest cousin’s brother-in-law. Yes, his eldest cousin’s brother-in-law is the famous romantic talent in Hong Kong. Their family is a highly educated family.

The most famous thing about this girl was that when her new book was published, she tore up another talented female writer of romance novels, and stepped on her to become the number one talented girl in Hong Kong.

The most coincidental thing was that the brother of the girl who was stepped on was one of the most talented playboys in Hong Kong. When this incident came to light, the two of them had a falling out, and their brothers also had a falling out. So this was a repeat of the old trick, using “Master Teacher” to promote her new book?

An Yinong didn’t understand what was going on. His third sister, the one who was filming “Master Teacher”, severely despised a lady who claimed to be a beautiful writer on the same talk show. She was pretentious and gave many examples of how she was a person who pretended to be pretentious in front of men and was sarcastic and ugly in front of women.

“Third sister.” An Yinong immediately called his cousin.

“What? You think I’m wrong?” The third sister was very angry, and it seemed that she had just had an argument with someone.

“No, I just feel that such a small role is not worth your death. Who is she, and who are you, Third Sister? If you die, wouldn’t it be too much of a compliment to her?”

In fact, An Yinong thought that using private life to attack the other party was a low level. But the third sister was angry at the moment, so he should not add fuel to the fire.

Sure enough, these words calmed the third sister’s anger: “It is A-Tong who understands me, unlike that so-and-so who only knows how to love her husband.”

It turned out to be my eldest cousin. An Yinong understood.

My eldest cousin and her husband are in a family marriage. The He family is in the media business, while the Yan family is a literary family. Their ancestors produced literary masters. The two were a strong combination. However, I heard that my eldest cousin’s marriage was not very smooth.

“Third sister, please don’t move yet. This matter involves ‘Gu Pan’. She will definitely come out. How can we let Third sister charge in the front while she enjoys protection in the back?”

“She, she knows?” The third sister’s voice on the other end of the phone suddenly became gentle.

“…It was broadcast on TV, it’s hard not to know.”

“Then help me explain. Actually, I am usually very gentle.”

“Third sister, leave this matter to me.”

Afterwards, An Yinong listened to it, but the matter was not as simple as it seemed. This matter seemed to be Yan Yan’s bundling of books, but in fact, Yan Jiayi was involved in the publishing industry and testing the family.

Yan Yan’s new book had actually been out for half a year. Her brother helped promote it, and the critics who were bribed came out to help. Although it didn’t sell well, it had a good reputation, so there was really no need to promote it by stepping on the comic book.

So her action, although it seems like she was stepping on Gu Pan, the core purpose was to stimulate the family behind her and tell the world that the Yan family and the family are going to part ways, so everyone should wait and see.

As for why she chose ‘Gu Pan’?

First, because she is currently one of the most famous cartoonists. Second, their themes are all about love between humans and ghosts, so it was more natural to tie them together.

Third, many people think that traditional short stories are a dimensionality reduction attack on comics. Many people who engage in serious literature look down on short stories, and those who write short stories look down on those who draw comics.

No one who designed and executed the plan thought about the cartoonist’s reaction. They didn’t care. How could a small cartoonist dare to confront the young lady from a wealthy family in Hong Kong?

“A small comic book?” An Yinong sneered. The original owner’s memory and emotions had faded completely. In his mind, he had always been the little man who had been driven into a dead end by capital. However, An Yinong would not be manipulated by his own likes and dislikes. He was thinking about the profitable part of this matter.

As we all know, the audience for novels has always been wider than that for comics, and Yan Yan comes from a prominent family. Although she has only two works, most people in Hong Kong have heard of her name (a typical example of a person who is more famous than her works).

“Isn’t this another Paul Lee?”

Paul Lee can send his comics abroad, so what kind of comics can Miss Yan Yan send?

He called his third sister to confirm the broadcast time of the TV series “Master Teacher”.

“Three episodes have been filmed and will be aired next week. Ah, Tiantong, you know, my eldest sister came back to the old house to complain and was severely scolded by my eldest brother just now.

“Humph, knowing that ‘Master Teacher’ will be shown on our TV station soon, and that it is a cooperative project between me, your brother Tianheng and I, she wants to let the aunt step on us. She deserves it.”

His third sister then complained: “She wasn’t like this before, but she is like this after getting married. Is it true that she follows her husband wherever he goes?”

An Yinong didn’t really want to get involved in family affairs, but from the sound of it, it seemed that the family was standing on the side of its own interests? That’s good. He was originally a little worried that Tianheng would lose his mind and stand up for his sister.

Yes, as the heir of a wealthy family, she has been exposed to these things since she was a child, and she is really not that simple. An Yinong even suspected that her eldest sister went back to her parents’ home just for show and to give an explanation to them.

However, the matter did not end there. Not long after, Miss Yan Yan spoke again in the newspaper. This time, she accused certain vulgar works of affecting people’s intelligence. Even adults would be deceived by those fantasy loves and then do things that made them lose control of their emotions.

She said she was really hurt and wanted to advise those girls not to be deceived by this fantasy of love again.

In addition, this shows the impact of these vulgar works on people. The publishing houses that are irresponsible in their creations should reflect on themselves.

The truth is revealed, and the “irresponsible” publishing house is the key. To be honest, what she said makes sense. Indeed, the love plots in comics and such compatible soul mates are difficult to appear in reality.

For most people, “Master Teacher” was just an ideal state of love, but the reality was very cruel.

However, this statement could only be made by realist writers, but not by Yan Yan, who also wrote romance novels and called herself “realistic literature”.

“Master Teacher” is a fantasy. Does her sadomasochistic love become realistic and profound because of the addition of “scumbag and cheap” elements? An Yinong and she are just two love addicts. One likes a relaxed one, and the other likes a bloody one. Don’t look down on each other.

“You want to tie me up? Okay, please Renren.” ‘Gu Pan’ responded in the newspaper.

First, she said that she saw a certain writer’s remarks on TV, and he was deeply touched (Yan Yan’s original words are attached here), and he received a strong and profound education. To this end, she spent three days and three nights thinking about the meaning and essence of her creation.

Before this, she always thought that the purpose of creation was, first, to express her thoughts and please herself, second, to find like-minded people to make them happy, and third, to earn a living so as not to be poor and homeless. But now this writer pointed out a completely different path.

“Now I finally understand that the purpose of writing comics has never been to enrich entertainment, but to educate!

“Whether it looks good or not is not important. Whether it is interesting or not is not important. What the content is is even less important. What is important? It is to educate people, to educate the readers. You should pour your noble spirit into the readers’ brains and not let vulgar dregs occupy the brain.

“What? He doesn’t want to read education? He can read it or not. If he doesn’t like to read it, he is vulgar! He just doesn’t know how to appreciate it! He must like to read the sticky and uneducational entertainment comics next door that are not advanced or serious at all!

“Painful and agonizing!

“What’s wrong with this generation of readers? Why don’t they understand elegance and don’t know what is good or bad? Such a good and instructive article has been on the bookshelf for half a month and no one is interested in it. Why can the boring works next door sell so well?

“It’s clear that our class is not good at studying. I’m so disappointed, so sad, and so heartbroken.”

“I think those of us who draw cartoons and write comics should get together for a cup of tea and discuss how we can write such vulgar things and draw such entertaining things? How can we forget the important historical mission on our shoulders – education?

“First of all, I want to criticize myself. How can I draw a happy ending? There is none. It is not serious. It does not criticize reality. It is vulgar! The two protagonists are actually in love every day? They have no idea about family and country. It is vulgar! The protagonists’ love and career are actually going smoothly. No one escapes and no one can fly. It is vulgar!

“Publishers that publish entertainment-type books without any responsibility should reflect on themselves. You should follow the example of the newly established Yan Family Publishing House.

“From the first five thousand years to the next five thousand years, Yan’s Publishing House is the only industry benchmark and leader in education. Writers and cartoonists, don’t let your vulgarity pollute the loftiness of Yan’s Publishing House, let educators!

“I will continue to criticize myself and study hard, so that middle school students 5,000 years from now can open their textbooks and see that we are fighting against vulgarity today.

“Yes, I am no longer the same person I was yesterday. I want to learn from our great educator, Ms. Yan Yan, and change my ways to become a noble educator and reject vulgarity!

“By the way, the TV series adapted from ‘Master Teacher’ will be broadcast on Channel xx next week, and my next comic ‘Superstar’ will begin serialization soon. If you are interested, be sure to continue to pay attention to ‘Rose House’. Thank you very much for your support, friends from all walks of life.”

I was wrong, but I will do it again next time. (Smile)
