Chapter 969 -900: A 50-50 Split with Chu Kuang (3rd Update)

Yu Dynasty had recorded songs with Lin Yuan so many times that it had become second nature, just like how directors and actors…

…develop a tacit understanding after working together for a long time.

Lin Yuan and the singers from Yu Dynasty had developed this kind of understanding as well.

About a week’s effort.

Several songs were recorded smoothly——

The decision to choose Zhao Ying Ge and Chen Zhiyu for the duet was of course deliberate.

Because Sun Yaohuo and Jiang Kui from Yu Dynasty had already become the King and Queen of Singing respectively, Lin Yuan wanted to give other people a chance to reach that status, so he made such an arrangement.

You can’t just focus on promoting one or two individuals exclusively.

Meanwhile, online anticipation for the TV drama adaptation of “The Legend of the Condor Heroes” was growing louder and louder.

Under the official Starlight account.

The comment section was full of excited original novel fans howling.

Those most looking forward to the TV adaptations of novels are often these original fans.

As a result.

At that moment…

Tribe Film and Television suddenly announced a piece of news:

“Tribe Film and Television is proud to announce that ‘Trap the Tiger,’ adapted in collaboration with Lancet, will officially air on the 23rd of this month. Stay tuned!”

Don’t forget.

There has been a martial arts craze in the television drama circle recently.

Every so often, several classic martial arts adaptations are announced, with dates set for their release, or they go straight to airing.

It was under this trend that Lin Yuan decided to write “The Legend of the Condor Heroes.”

Among them, “Trap the Tiger,” a collaboration between Tribe and Lancet, is the hottest super favorite among this batch of martial arts adaptations. Their choice to air it this month makes perfect sense.

A huge audience is looking forward to it too!

After all, Lancet’s “Trap the Tiger” is a classic martial arts novel etched in many people’s memories and is considered the masterpiece of this martial arts legend.

Its influence even exceeds that of Starlight’s previously adapted “Yang Xiaofan and Qin Tiange.”

Not to mention!

The drama is personally adapted by Lancet, the original author of the novel!

Most other martial arts dramas are adapted by screenwriters, and it is rare for original authors to personally take charge of the adaptation.

Therefore.

Everyone was curious as to how Lancet would adapt his own pinnacle masterpiece, “Trap the Tiger.”

He wouldn’t be following Chu Kuang’s approach and completely overhaul his “Trap the Tiger,” letting the antagonists go on a chaotic killing spree, would he?

There would be fun then.

After all, Lancet himself had made big claims in an interview, stating that his adaptation would be a self-subversion, guaranteed to surprise and delight the audience…

This had garnered a lot of attention for “Trap the Tiger.”

Originally, this had nothing to do with “The Legend of the Condor Heroes” airing this month.

It’s not unusual to have multiple TV dramas airing in the same month, and such coincidences are not a big deal, with no conflicts between the two.

However.

What left everyone dumbfounded was!

Shortly after “Trap the Tiger” set its air date, Starlight also officially set theirs:

“Chu Kuang’s martial arts masterpiece ‘The Legend of the Condor Heroes’ will air on the 23rd of this month. Stay tuned!”

What now?

Wow, that’s bold!

Manufacturing conflict on purpose?

Starlight surely did it intentionally!

Their new drama “The Legend of the Condor Heroes” was going to air on the same day as Tribe’s “Trap the Tiger”!?

Airing in the same month is too common to even count as a coincidence.

But airing on the same day?

And they announced it one after the other?

That changes the concept entirely!

All of a sudden, the whole internet was abuzz!

This was the first time Starlight took such a clear shot at a rival!

“The feud between Starlight and Tribe is irreversible now. This year, all Starlight artists have left Tribe for blogs, and now the two sides have completely fallen out. Are they confronting each other head on?”

“So domineering!”

“Tribe has been suppressing Starlight for a while, some Starlight artists got traffic-limited there, they say it was technical issues, so that’s why the Starlight artists left Tribe. This move today is more than just a head-on challenge; it’s Starlight launching an official counterattack on Tribe.”

“A martial arts showdown?”

“Chu Kuang’s previous adaptation of ‘Yang Xiaofan and Qin Tiange’ was heavily criticized because the old rascal made some ruthless cuts. I heard Lancet was quite unhappy about it. Now, Chu Kuang has brought out his own original wuxia to go head-to-head with Lancet. It does seem a bit like a martial arts showdown. Even though Lancet’s works can’t compare to ‘The Legend of the Condor Heroes,’ you can’t ignore that his works were released earlier and have a larger viewer base.”

“It reminds me of the battle between ‘Journey to the West’ and ‘The Primordial Chaos.’

“I remember now—that time when Starlight’s ‘Journey to the West’ TV drama was scheduled, ‘The Primordial Chaos’ announced their schedule half an hour later, clearly targeting them. But despite ‘The Primordial Chaos’ having such a high viewer base, they still lost disastrously, completely dominated by ‘Journey to the West.’ As a result, Starlight appears to have learned from ‘The Primordial Chaos.’ Not a good sign.”

“I think not necessarily, think about who the original authors of these two dramas are.”

Who is the original author?

Some netizens paused, then suddenly realized with astonishment!

The author of ‘Journey to the West’ and ‘The Legend of the Condor Heroes’ is the same person!

It’s Chu Kuang, the old rascal himself!

Last time, Starlight was crazily producing content under the guidance of the old rascal Chu Kuang!

Netizens are calling it expert moves!

Starlight clearly wants to replicate the ultimate battle scenes from ‘Journey to the West’ versus ‘The Primordial Chaos’!

…

Meanwhile, at a certain venue.

Ling Kong was holding a press conference with Lancet for “Trap the Tiger,” surrounded by stars and with numerous reporters in attendance. This was the Tribe’s credibility at stake, even more impressive than what entertainment companies could muster!

The press conference was halfway through.

A reporter suddenly said, “We just received news that Starlight’s new drama ‘The Legend of the Condor Heroes’ will be broadcast on the same day as your TV drama. What does Mr. Ling Kong think about this?”

What?

Same day broadcast?

Ling Kong’s eyelids twitched rapidly.

Lancet, standing beside Ling Kong, also looked somewhat displeased.

Both of them had been attending the press conference and were not aware of this news. Hearing about it all of a sudden, their first reaction was:

Provocation!

This is a provocation!

Starlight is clearly not taking ‘Trap the Tiger’ seriously!

The reporter turned to Lancet: “If it’s a contest for viewership ratings, how does Teacher Lancet think the contest will go?”

Lancet raised his eyebrows, calming himself, and said indifferently:

“If it’s a showdown with TV dramas, I’d say Chu Kuang and I are evenly matched.”

Lancet understood in his heart.

He couldn’t compete with the novels.

‘The Legend of the Condor Heroes’ almost pioneered a school of its own in the martial arts world, and even Lancet had to admit that Chu Kuang’s talent was among the top in the entire martial arts world.

But TV dramas were full of uncertainties.

A successful novel doesn’t always translate into a successful TV adaptation.

This is common sense!

Ling Kong, hearing this, breathed a sigh of relief.

An even match, huh? That result wasn’t too bad.

It was enough that they had a chance to fight. He was no longer bullish, and after repeated setbacks, he had gradually begun to see himself more clearly.

Ling Kong also thought back carefully:

After making enemies with the Three Bros, he was most harshly defeated by Shadow.

Xian Yu had beaten him too, but not too harshly.

As for Chu Kuang?

He hadn’t really been attacked by the other party much.

If he could use this wave to beat Chu Kuang in the TV drama battle, he could regain some face when facing the Three Bros in the future.

That would be good.

Let Chu Kuang bear the sins committed by Shadow and Xian Yu. Why should he do so, when the three of them always move together and oppose the Tribe?

However, it’s true that wherever he goes, he can’t avoid these three.

Ling Kong thought with a bit of a headache.

Even going to the Golden Hall to listen to a tune, he could run into Xian Yu, which was incredibly frustrating.

…

After the TV drama “Trap the Tiger” press conference concluded.

A news headline appeared on the top page of the media:

[Starlight and Tribe’s new shows to air on the same day, Teacher Lancet says: Chu Kuang and I are evenly matched!]
