Chapter 248 - 232: 01’ Zhou Isn’t Laughing Anymore (Extra Silver Chapter from Lord Phantom Feather)_i



He wrote not only the best-selling fantasy novels, firmly establishing himself in the book market as a pioneer, but also classical short stories, which many people consider to be among the best in the short-story genre.

So it’s natural to assume in many people’s minds that Chu Kuang’s writing surpasses Xian Yu’s.

In fact, people never even thought to compare Chu Kuang and Xian Yu.

There was simply no need for comparison.

The former was an excellent novelist, while the latter was an extremely talented composer.

Comparing two different fields doesn’t make sense.

Can we simply say that Chu Kuang’s writing surpasses Xian Yu’s, while Xian Yu’s composing does the same to Chu Kuang?

If these two individuals hadn’t been paying attention to each other and collaborating frequently, their fanbases would likely not intersect.

But now things are different.

Following the success of “Flirting Scholar”, Xian Yu’s writing skills have been thoroughly demonstrated, and the fans have started to make jokes about it. Of course, it’s not meant with any malice.

As everyone knows, Xian Yu and Chu Kuang are like best buddies; they would never see each other as rivals.

Oh, and there’s also Shadow.

This is a trio of “best buddies”.

However, as Shadow is a newcomer in the comic industry and his popularity and influence aren’t as great as Chu Kuang’s and Xian Yu’s, he isn’t paid much attention.

It s like in the Little Tiger Team, when everyone knows 01′ Wu and 01′ Su, but very few people pay attention to the third member.

Shadow is like the invisible third in their trio, usually only appearing in Chu Kuang and Xian Yu’s storylines.

In short.

As Xian Yu’s writing has been recognized by fans, and considering he is the screenwriter of “Flirting Scholar”, who also writes stories…

People finally unconsciously began to compare the two.

After such a comparison, it really is interesting.

Could Xian Yu’s writing skills really be no less than Chu Kuang’s?

Some fans even feel that they’re close to the truth… Perhaps it’s precisely because Chu Kuang and Xian Yu are both great writers that they became good friends?

Enough of that, it’s not important.

What’s most important now is the terrifying influence of “Flirting Scholar”!

As the second week came to an end, coupled with countless detailed analyses of “Flirting Scholar”, the popularity of this film actually soared even higher!

The media started reporting!

[Rise of the web giants: low-budget film “Flirting Scholar” rakes in over 150 million in two weeks!]

[Xian Yu: From top composer to screenwriter of “Flirting Scholar”]

[Xian Yu makes his film debut, with his first script “Flirting Scholar” becoming an online sensation!]

[Summer movie season: both web and theatre films flourishing, “Flirting Scholar” leading the online movie trend!]

[This film already made over 150 million, but only cost 9 million? “Flirting Scholar” made a lot with a little, showcasing Xian Yu’s talent and achieving a miracle! ]

There were also news pieces that reproduced Starlight Network’s movie review.

Of course, Deng Chi’s article was also reprinted by media.

It was quite an odd situation…

For those who didn’t know, they might think “Flirting Scholar” was also a theatre film for this year’s summer season.

Because during such a hot summer season, media usually wouldn’t pay attention to web films, let alone spend any actual resources covering them.

This season is filled with blockbusters; what is there to talk about a film with a few million budget?

But “Flirting Scholar” was impossible to ignore!

There was even a media outlet that humorously depicted this summer’s film season with a four-panel comic…

This media outlet was called “Funny News”, and they liked to hint at the news with comics.

In the first panel…

On a magnificent race track…

A few dominant and flashy race cars were stepping hard on the gas, revving up to go.

On the outer lane, a bicycle was also eagerly stepping on its pedals.

The names of various summer blockbusters, including Starlight’s

“Thunderstorm”, were fixed on the top of the cars.

The bicycle, meanwhile, bore the large characters “Flirting Scholar”.

In the second panel…

The race cars took off, as did the bicycle…

In the third panel…

Some cars pulled ahead, while others lagged behind, including Starlight’s “Thunderstorm”.

Next to “Thunderstorm”, was the bicycle.

Above the bicycle was a line: “I’ll wait for you at the front.”

Obviously, it was speaking to its ally “Thunderstorm”.

In the fourth panel…

The bicycle stayed level with the leading race cars, while beads of sweat were clearly visible on the bodies of the cars…

Many people in the web film circle had knowingly knowing smiles on their faces; they were quite meaningful.

Because this comic was too real!

Isn’t reality just like that?

Theatre films are the race cars on the magnificent race track.

Compared to theatre films, a web film with a 9 million investment is at best a bicycle.

But…

The popularity of the web film was on par with the theatre films!

This bicycle, how impressive!

Not impressive in terms of box office…

If we’re talking about box office, the films in the summer season usually have a box office of billions.

But the thing is, “Flirting Scholar” is so cheap to make.

The film industry has a concept called investment return rate.

Suppose your film cost 200 million, then your box office needs to reach 6 or 7 billion for the production side to break even.

The budget for a web giant was 9 million, and they’ve already made 150 million.

That means “Flirting Scholar” has already earned over 70 million for the production side…

After all, the profit-sharing model of web giants and theatres is not the same.

Web giants can retain half of the earnings, whereas theatres usually only give the production side about one-third.

This competition is not about total box office, but about earning power!

Compared to the schadenfreude of the web giants, the mainstream film circle is a bit crushed.

Driving a race car, but caught up by a bicycle…

How could they not be devastated?

Is your bicycle made by Phoenix?

As a web film, can you please act more like a web film?

See that designer, just look…

Starlight really got lucky!

Originally, “Thunderstorm” had mediocre box office results, and everyone started to overlook Starlight.

Who could have known that Starlight would shine brightly in the seemingly insignificant corner of the web films?

Yes.

The July summer film season was indeed Starlight’s first battle.

Clearly, this first battle was just average for Starlight.

But what can you say when Starlight also released “Flirting Scholar”!

To say that Starlight was lucky…

Of course!

If it was shown through web films, it means Starlight didn’t really care about “Flirting Scholar”!

However, it turns out that the film Starlight didn’t care about saved Starlight’s first battle!

Outsiders didn’t know that “Flirting Scholar” had been sold by Starlight to Lin Yuan.

Everyone thought Starlight was secretly happy now, but little did they know, there was a pall over Starlight’s film department.

People know their own business.

Actually, the success of “Flirting Scholar” had nothing to do with Starlight.

Even 01′ Zhou did not laugh…

No matter how he thought about it, it was Xian Yu’s fault…
