Chapter 129 Authorization
"Teacher Lin Yuan, what do you think of Li Yitong's portrayal of Huang Rong?"
"She portrayed the intelligence and resilience of a tomboy, not just a charming young girl, but also a chivalrous spirit."
"Teacher Lin Yuan, what do you think of Hu Ke's portrayal of Guo Jing?"
"He portrayed Guo Jing's inherent honesty, kindness, and profound patriotism, as if Guo Jing himself were standing right in front of me."
"Teacher Lin Yuan, what do you think...?"
"..."
On Weibo, after the first run of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" finished airing, many people went to Lin Yuan's comment section to ask the original author for his opinion on the TV series.
Lin Yuan praised it highly!
The actors who received feedback also posted on Weibo to express their gratitude.
"Mr. Lin Yuan, what are your thoughts on the huge success of this TV series?"
He didn't boast about this issue.
Although Lin Yuan didn't answer, it doesn't mean that others didn't have their own thoughts.
However, the first person to publicly comment made Xu Jinyan both amused and exasperated.
Mr. Jin Yong, Chairman of Suzhou-Hangzhou Ming Pao Newspaper Group Co., Ltd., commented:
"I watched the TV series first, and then I read the novel."
"After watching it, I felt..."
"I am very fortunate to have read this novel in the later years of my life."
"It reminds me of my childhood dreams, of the wind that roamed freely!"
"Thank you, Lin Yuan!"
Xu Jinyan: He should thank us!
Subsequently, many people in the film and television industry also expressed their opinions.
For example, the famous director Kong Sheng wrote a blog post specifically about it:
"During the serialization of the novel, I often recommended it to the people around me."
"Guo Jing's growth is the most solid epic of an ordinary person's growth."
"It doesn't rely on the typical wish-fulfillment trope of a genius suddenly appearing out of nowhere. It achieves greatness through perseverance and kindness, with very positive values. Its literary structure is something all screenwriters should learn from."
"I'm not surprised at all that the TV series has broken a series of records, because it is an extremely excellent story."
Yu Zheng, the producer of last year's hit drama "Eternal Ashes," said:
"In the world of 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes,' the main theme is national righteousness, while love is a secondary theme. The characters' behavior reflects the characteristics of the era, which is why it can resonate with a wide audience."
"The world of 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer' has a weak historical background; it captures the spiritual freedom, unrestrained and enlightened spirit that everyone yearns for..."
"I think Linghu Chong's final fate might be to live in seclusion with his beloved, away from the world and its conflicts."
"..."
Next, the style of analysis shifted from Yu Zheng's perspective, with many industry insiders adding their own interpretations while analyzing "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
In summary: Lin Yuan, I understand you!
There's no other reason than that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was simply too successful, not to mention its immense popularity in China.
It has even been introduced to Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asian countries and regions such as Thailand and Vietnam.
Exporting cultural works is something else!
Which director wouldn't be envious!
Xu Jinyan found it amusing to watch the row of directors talking so eloquently, each of them seeming to know Lin Yuan very well.
In particular, he also saw Yu Zheng's Weibo post.
It has to be admitted that he does have some skills; he guessed the ending accurately, and the dramas he produced were also hits.
He remembered that Yu Zheng had also remade "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" and achieved great success.
However, just like Xu Ke, he portrayed Dongfang Bubai as a woman.
Xu Jinyan doesn't really care about this, but a remake is fine, but the first time should respect the original work.
He logged into Lin Yuan's WeChat account and sent his final decision, which he had considered, to Li Xiaoqing.
As a professional editor, Li Xiaoqing had already set Lin Yuan to "special attention".
Even her boyfriend doesn't get this kind of treatment!
She opened her phone and saw the message from Lin Yuan, and immediately stood up from her chair.
She stared in disbelief, reading it word by word, then repeatedly confirming with Lin Yuan three times before slumping back into her chair, muttering:
"Teacher Lin Yuan, your promise is as good as gold!"
……

After the crew's celebration banquet, Director Hu accepted several more invitations to banquets that he couldn't refuse.
Given the current success of this drama, he could have banquets every day if he wanted to.
However, he now devotes half of his attention to the copyright of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer".
He couldn't very well boast about himself on Weibo, but seeing so many directors' comments, how could he not feel a sense of urgency?
On this day, he arrived at his film and television production company, which was actually a studio centered around him.
After sitting down, he subconsciously opened the novel's website and found that it was still not updated.
The show has already finished airing, but he hasn't updated it yet, which has already caused dissatisfaction among some readers.
He joined the others in the comments section, saying "Old thief, update soon..." Anyway, nobody knew this was his alternate account.
He put down his phone, leaned back in his chair, and thought to himself that Lin Yuan was probably also struggling with copyright issues right now.
"Bang!"
The door was violently pushed open, and the person who entered didn't care that this was the boss's office; he walked to the desk in a few steps.
Director Hu was startled and almost fell off his chair.
He frowned and looked over, only to find it was Lin Tao, the company's copyright coordinator. "What are you doing!"
Lin Tao's lips trembled, unable to speak, he simply handed over the contract in his hand with trembling hands.
Seeing his reaction, Director Hu had a sudden thought: if something really serious happened to the company, it wouldn't be up to him, a copyright coordinator, to report it.
The so-called copyright coordination is responsible for matters related to copyright, such as adapting novels into films and television series, purchasing IPs, negotiating licenses, contacting novel platforms, and collecting intelligence on competing companies.
Could it be that... could it be that he's so excited?
Director Hu snatched the contract, and saw that the opening line clearly stated:
Exclusive Film and Television Adaptation Rights Licensing Agreement for "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer"
"Hahahaha..."
Director Hu stood up, looked up at the sky, and laughed heartily, feeling all his worries vanish.
Their company also submitted a quote, although it wasn't as high as the figures they had heard about, it represented their utmost sincerity.
I was already mentally prepared to miss out.
Unexpectedly, unexpectedly!
Lin Yuan is indeed a man of his word!
He paced back and forth in his office with his hands on his hips, feeling refreshed and full of energy.
Since Lin Yuan trusts us, we can't let him down.
He clenched his fist, already considering the filming of the new drama and the casting of Linghu Chong.
At this moment, Lin Tao was finally able to speak: "Director Hu, did you see the end? The copyright fee section!"
Director Hu was taken aback and quickly looked down, only to see that the contract clearly stated:
The total exclusive film and television adaptation licensing fee under this agreement is RMB 1.00.
One yuan? !
A copyright fee of one dollar?!
Director Hu's hands started to tremble!
But he forcibly steadied his arm because he discovered there was an additional note on the side of the contract—it was… a letter from Lin Yuan?
He calmed himself down, took a deep breath to suppress his turbulent emotions, and looked at the contents of the paper.
Director Hu:
They had never met before, but were bound together by their shared experiences in the martial arts world.
Having made a promise, I will not go back on my word.
I am very grateful to see the finished product of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
The novel is merely a figment of my imagination as I sit alone at my desk, and the world of martial arts remains only on paper.
However, a well-made TV series, a vivid and three-dimensional martial arts world, cannot be separated from the tireless efforts of thousands of people in the production team.
It is you who have transformed the fictional world of martial arts into a universally recognized benchmark for the genre.
The copyright of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" will be sold for one yuan.
This is my way of thanking the entire "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" crew.
