Chapter 99 Cheng Cheng did the greatest thing in the entertainment industry since the 21st century

The next day, the debate continued online.

#Cheng Cheng sells books for charity#, #Cheng Cheng press conference#, #an inexhaustible charity fund#, #Cheng Cheng's "The Little Prince"#, #The Little Prince Children's Care Fund# and other terms have taken turns to be on the hot searches.

The popularity was so exaggerated that there were tens of millions of discussions under almost every entry. Cheng Cheng’s topic square exploded, and more and more passers-by were involved, and more and more celebrities chose to take action.

This has become the focus of public attention at the moment, and opinions vary from party to party.

At this moment, all the major media outlets that attended Cheng Cheng’s press conference and received books from Cheng Cheng collectively published articles, and their attitudes were unexpectedly consistent. Instead of criticizing or attacking, they praised him highly!

"The Little Prince: No one in this world does not need comfort" and Hot Wave News

"The Little Prince: Teaches You How to Love", Imperial City Daily
"A work destined to become a classic: The Little Prince! Cheng Cheng has done the greatest thing in the entertainment industry since the 21st century", Mingshan Daily

"The Little Prince: A literary treasure of the 21st century, a legendary work written by Cheng Cheng!", New World Literature News

"The Little Prince: In the name of fairy tales, it tells the true meaning of life and the greatness of emotions. This is a fairy tale book dedicated to every adult", Literary Fenghua Newspaper
"Cheng Cheng succeeded! The Little Prince succeeded! The Little Prince Children's Care Fund succeeded!", Silla New Media Times
When these reports came out, netizens were stunned!
Turtle, you media outlets have all received money from Cheng Cheng, right?
It is also "a work that is destined to become a classic" and "Cheng Cheng has done the greatest thing in the entertainment industry since the 21st century". Do you have to be so exaggerated?
There should be a basic law for bragging, right? You can't just brag randomly, right? !

There are people on the Internet who don't believe it, there are people who seem to believe it but don't quite, and there are very few who believe it completely, or even none at all!
Even Xiao Heizi couldn't help but wonder: Is Frog so awesome? It's a little bit unlikely, right?

In the newspaper office, Li Mu looked at the reports of his colleagues and smiled bitterly.

He thought he was already very excited after finishing reading The Little Prince overnight and rushing to the newspaper office to write the press release early in the morning, but he didn't expect his colleagues to be even more excited and not stop talking about shocking things, even calling it "a literary treasure of the 21st century"! What a bold choice of words!

In comparison, the title he came up with, "The Little Prince: Teaches You How to Love," seems too conservative.

He was thinking about how to write another manuscript when suddenly, a call came on his cell phone. It was from his friend Xue Qing, who was a professor in the Department of Literature at Teikyo University.

Xue Qing sounded anxious, and asked immediately: "Li Mu, I heard that your newspaper has Cheng Cheng's "The Little Prince"?"

Li Mu replied, "Yes." He glanced around the newspaper office and said, "It is being circulated among colleagues."

Xue Qing: "Can you bring it over to me?"

Li Mu was puzzled: "You, a great professor, also know about this?"

Xue Qing said: "I read a few reports today and was shocked by the excerpts in them. You know, I am excited when I see exciting passages, so I want to read the original work. Now I am so hungry and thirsty."

Li Mu asked back: "Then you can buy it online."

Xue Qing said: "I bought it, but won't it take several days to ship it? How can I wait that long?"

Li Mu: "Do you really want to see it?"

Xue Qing: "I really want to watch it. I can't sleep at night!"

Li Mu proposed a condition: "Okay, it's not impossible to negotiate. I can send the book to you now, but you have to accept an interview and talk about your evaluation of the book. You also have to be named a professor of literature at Imperial University. How about that? Otherwise, you just have to wait for the courier to arrive."

“You are so cruel!!!”

"Just tell me whether you agree or not! Anyway, the book is in my hand!"

Xue Qing hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then you must deliver the book to me within an hour! Not even a minute late!"

"Don't worry, I'll be there soon!" Li Mu immediately stood up, found his leader, told him the matter, and after getting his consent, he went out with the book in his hand, amid the resentful looks of his colleagues.

Not only Nanjiang Evening News, many newspapers were bombarded with calls from people asking for books. Among them were some people with high social status, such as well-known writers, scholars, directors, etc. These media never thought that they would become so popular in an instant just by participating in a press conference!

In the next few days, the books ordered by netizens arrived one after another, and the reputation of "The Little Prince" gradually spread.

Among those who have read this book, some did not quite understand it, and some did not like it very much, but no one gave a low rating, and no one thought that the book was bad.

Evaluations of this book by major scholars are widely circulated.

Xue Qing, professor of the Department of Literature at Teikyo University: "The Little Prince belongs to this type of book... It is loved by both children and adults. The imagination, wisdom and emotion that the work deliberately pursues and expresses enable readers of all ages to find pleasure and benefit from it, and to discover new spiritual wealth at any time."

Yu Min, a well-known writer and winner of the country's highest literary award, said: "I would even say that it is a miracle. There are very few works in the world that are so exquisite and so simple, so profound and so approachable, and are almost perfect in both content and form, but without any trace of chiseling, just like a piece of natural jade."

Facts have proved that the public is still very much influenced by the celebrity effect. If an ordinary netizen makes a comment, they may think that it is just one person's opinion and may not be convincing or credible.

However, the situation is completely different when celebrity scholars speak out, especially writers and literature professors, whose identities are authoritative and professional, and their views are often recognized by more people.

A literary critic also posted on Weibo:
"If I only have one month, just one month, then I will read "Little Wang Yu". Spend a month reading it, and you can savor the beautiful sentiments and thoughts in it for a lifetime. It is also a good book that is definitely not boring.

In terms of length, "The Little Prince" is only 25,000 words, but its narrative structure is complete enough to rival an outstanding classical drama or novel.

The dramatic structure of classical drama can be divided into five parts: foreshadowing, development, climax, resolution, and disaster.

If we use this theory as a reference, the narrative structure of The Little Prince becomes particularly obvious:

Chapter 1 is the narrator's (pilot's) self-narration, which is the foreshadowing part; Chapters 2 to 9 describe the encounter and interaction between the pilot and the little prince, which is the development part; Chapters 10 to 15 describe the little prince's visit to six asteroids, which is the climax; Chapters 16 to 23 describe the little prince's experience on Earth, which is the decline part; Chapters 24 to 27 continue to describe the pilot and the little prince's relationship, and end with the little prince's disappearance, which is the disaster part. It takes extremely high writing skills to contain such a complete structure in such a short space without being cramped.

The classical beauty of The Little Prince is also reflected in the change of narrative perspective.
But the most brilliant part of The Little Prince is not only in its technique, but also in its exposure and criticism of various absurd phenomena in the adult world, as well as its existentialist stance.
Cheng Cheng, the top star in the domestic entertainment industry, did something that none of us thought he could do. Perhaps this really proves the saying that there is only one step between genius and madness. He kept the madness for himself, but gave the genius to the world. "

There is also a senior editor from a publishing house who analyzed The Little Prince from a commercial perspective:
"At first, when I saw the clip of Cheng Cheng's press conference and heard him say that he wanted to establish an inexhaustible charity fund and raise over one million in one year, over ten million in three years, and over one hundred million in ten years, I was skeptical, just like most netizens. After all, it sounded too vague and unrealistic.

But after reading the whole book of "The Little Prince", my attitude changed drastically!
The Little Prince will undoubtedly become a classic! And its copyright development potential is huge, whether it is audio copyright, film, stage play, animation or physical peripheral products, it has a broad market prospect.

I once took over a project. From every angle, "The Little Prince" is definitely not inferior to it. According to my experience, if it is run well, it is possible to exceed 100 million yuan in five years, let alone ten years.

Moreover, "The Little Prince" is a global work, and with overseas copyrights, the numbers are unimaginable.

If all the money from "The Little Prince" was invested in the Little Prince Children's Care Fund, Cheng Cheng's vision might really come true. It would become the most famous public welfare fund in the world. It would exist one hundred years or two hundred years later, and countless children would receive help. Its value would be far more than one hundred million in ten years.

Although I don't know Cheng Cheng, as a father, I want to thank him for donating the book.

The Little Prince lives up to the words on its title page: 'To all children and to all grown-ups who have been children.'"

As soon as this Weibo post came out, the little black people immediately went wild!
The clarion call for counterattack has been sounded!
Damn it, those who spread rumors that Frog Brother was defrauding donations before the press conference even started, those who were certain that the book would not be a success before they even saw the book, those who maliciously speculated that Frog Brother had bad intentions, those who made empty promises, evaded responsibility, and hyped the book!

Die all of you!
"Why do you make statements every day? Because people who don't like Frog Brother are targeting him and spreading rumors about him every day! Is it really true that people who do good things slowly are not popular in this society? I am really disappointed with the current environment!"

"Where are those people who called out before? The professor of Teikyo University came out to praise, Yu Min also came out to praise, and so many celebrities and scholars came out to praise. Who has a dirty heart and ulterior motive? Whether the book is good or not is not determined by your dirty hearts, but by facts! The editor has said that the value of The Little Prince is far more than 100 million in ten years. This is proof. I don't expect you to apologize to Cheng Cheng. I just want you to reflect on it. When you preconceived that Brother Frog defrauded donations, when you preconceived that the book was not good and was hype, do you want the world to become better or worse? If the book is really not good, the charity fund can't be run, and the children can't get help, you will be happy instead, right?"

"I bought ten copies of The Little Prince. It's not much, just two hundred yuan. I collect one and read one. The remaining eight were given to my brothers and sisters, relatives and friends. I'm not showing off. I'm just doing my part to support public welfare. Those who criticize me, may they rot in the stinking mud along with their souls!"

"Brothers, destroy that idiot Luo Ge's positive energy! Damn it! He's just barking like a dog!"

"Remove the word 'like'! He is clearly a dog raised by Xia Ming. Look at this picture. Every time Xia Ming has a rhythm or an activity, he is the one who barks the loudest. He is either pulling down other stars or trying to divert attention from Xia Ming. He truly lives for Xia Ming."

"Every wrong has its perpetrator, kill this fool Xia Ming!"

The little black fans came in a mighty and aggressive manner, they were really angry this time. If Cheng Cheng had not been prepared, any slight negligence might have been taken advantage of. They rushed to the comment section of Luo Ge Positive Energy and Xia Ming and started to blast them!
When he opens his mouth, you can hear the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers; when he types, your quality is at its highest level!

Xiao Heizi may not be able to win in a game against the wind, but it is different in a game with the wind: I won’t say a word before the bar friends arrive, and after they arrive, I will start the crazy team-building mode!
Xia Ming's fans were stunned by the criticism and couldn't even raise their heads.

A young fan of Xia Ming looked at the tragic situation in the comment section and asked angrily: "Why do you say that my brother did it? What evidence do you have?"
Xiao Heizi: Evidence? Can you tell me the evidence?
Xia Ming did it so poorly, so what if he didn't do it? We are not judges, shouldn't all the young men die? Shooting them all might kill innocent people, but if we shoot every other person, there will definitely be some who slip through the net!

Anyway, as long as the battle is fun, that’s all!
Xia Ming, you die!

"How is it possible! How is it possible!"

Xia Ming was a little distracted when looking at the book reviews online!
You guys gave me a bad review! Why are you giving me a good review?
I do not believe! I do not believe!
I can't believe his book is so good!!!
How can he do that? He graduated from junior high school like me, how can he be a director, write poetry, compose lyrics and music, and write books? How can he deserve such high praise?

Why! ! !
You are all blind!
The netizens are blind! The scholars and professors are also blind! They are all unworthy of their positions and are just filling in the gaps. Otherwise, how could they promote clowns to the halls and how could they regard vulgarity as classics!
Xia Ming's heart was in turmoil at this moment and it was difficult to calm down.

Every comment and every word was piercing to him, like a knife, stabbing his heart and making him bleed!

Agent Sister Wang cautiously advised: "Xia Ming, don't worry about Cheng Cheng's new book for now. We have done too much and have already attracted backlash. We need to think about how to deal with public opinion."

Xia Ming suddenly raised his head and said, "Sister Wang, what do you think about me writing a book?"

"Ah?!" Sister Wang opened her mouth wide, as if she had heard something outrageous, and her jaw was about to dislocate. But she quickly realized that her reaction was a bit too much, and said, "I think we should consider the crisis at hand first. If we don't handle it well, our popularity will be greatly affected."

Xia Ming seemed not to hear what she was saying, and continued to talk to himself: "What do you think of mythological themes? Cheng Cheng published a fairy tale, so I will publish a myth. I have never written a book before, but that doesn't prove that I can't write a book. Maybe I have talent in this area, but I have never discovered it and was delayed by being a star."

Sister Wang looked as if she had eaten shit. She laughed and said, "Maybe, but we need to deal with the crisis as soon as possible."

Xia Ming: "The protagonist of Cheng Cheng is a human, so my protagonist is a non-human. A mythical non-human."

"Is it really impossible to cure him?"

Lu Zhuofeng felt an indescribable frustration.

In his expectation, the online public opinion towards Cheng Cheng at this time should be a wave of criticism and ridicule, paving the way for his final appearance.

But unexpectedly, Cheng Cheng once again survived the crisis and not only resolved it easily, but also climbed to a higher position with an even more glorious attitude!

"The greatest thing in the entertainment industry since the 21st century", "the literary treasure of the st century", these are honors that even he envied and had never received! Compared with Cheng Cheng, the praises he had received before seemed nothing!
Can I only watch Cheng Cheng, a junior, step on me and move towards glory step by step?

Lu Zhuofeng felt a genuine sense of powerlessness.
