It was now August.
Like all movies, the viewershipâs demand for âFlirting Scholarâ started to dwindle in the following days. After surpassing the major threshold of 50 million plays, every subsequent increase seemed incredibly difficultâ¦
The potential audience for the movie has become saturated in the short term.
Lin Yuan was confident that âFlirting Scholarâ still had the potential and space to grow in the future, but that would take a longer time.
Many works become more popular as time goes on.
As the popularity of the film saturated, Lin Yuanâs film-related Prestige Value reached 35,000. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
At the same time.
Screenwriter Xian Yu also gained a small degree of fame in the mainstream film and television industry.
The comedy genre he created, through the hot discussions of netizens, had been given the title âAbsurd Comedyâ.
Even without being guided by Lin Yuan himself, âAbsurdâ remained the most standard description for this type of comedy.
Just like what the film critics saidâ¦
There truly were many comedy talents in mainstream cinema starting to study the unique characteristics of âFlirting Scholarâ.
One thing was certain:
Under the research of many professionals, Absurd Comedy might become the new direction for many comedy developments.
While Star Grandpa is hard to imitate, the characteristic of absurdity can be used and expanded upon in comedies.
Of course.
The impact brought by âFlirting Scholarâ does not end there.
One day.
Lin Yuan was in his studio, drawing âKing of the Netâ with Luo Wei.
Thanks to the speed of Lin Yuan and Luo Wei, half of this comic had already been completed, and its popularity was growingâ¦
Just looking at the following of the alias Shadow, it had already reached 15 million!
Wellâ¦
One indisputable point was that part of the reason for the high following of the pseudonym Shadow was due to the contributions of Xian Yu and Chu Kuang.
After all, the popularity of these three accounts was somewhat intertwined.
After finishing todayâs comic, Lin Yuan handed it over to Luo Wei to upload.
After a successful upload.
Luo Wei suddenly laughed and said, âDoesnât Teacher Chu Kuang seem to be good at solving couplets?â
Lin Yuan paused for a moment, âWhy do you ask that?â
Luo Wei was also taken aback, âDonât you know?â
Lin Yuan out of curiosity, âKnow what?â
Seeing Lin Yuanâs reaction, Luo Wei realized that he rarely goes online.
So she simply explained to Lin Yuan: âThereâs a game thatâs really popular these daysâ¦â
It turns out that this had to do with âFlirting Scholarâ, which was an effect brought about by the film.
Because numerous couplets in the movie were dug out by netizens, a trendy wave of couplets spread through the internet.
As a result, a game developer took advantage of this trend and specifically developed a game mini-program for solving couplets.
This mini-game is called âKing of Coupletsâ.
This game became popular with netizens as soon as it was launched.
Clearly, âKing of Coupletsâ thus became a joke from the movie âFlirting Scholarâ.
In the movie.
The self-introduction of Prince Ningâs advisor was: âBelow is the literary champion and military advisor of the seven provinces, nicknamed âKing of Coupletsâ Dui Chuanchang!â
So, when netizens saw the four characters âKing of Coupletsâ, they all smiled knowingly, subconsciously linking it to the scene of this gentleman spitting up three liters of blood.
The game setting was simple.
For every couplet solved, the player would proceed to the next stage.
And with every stage, the difficulty of the couplets would increase.
As a result, whenever netizens couldnât solve a couplet, they would post online asking for help.
These help-seeking posts would often end up in the comment sections of some big shots in literary circles.
These literary big shots, of course, had the intention of showing off their own literary talent, and would mostly flip through these posts from the netizens, giving the correct responses.
As a very talented writer, Chu Kuang naturally had fans posting below asking for his help with the couplets.
Not just Chu Kuang.
Recently, many similar help-seeking posts have also appeared in Xian Yuâs comment section.
However, neither Chu Kuang nor Xian Yu seemed interested in handling these help-seeking posts.
Therefore, Luo Wei abruptly brought up the matter of the couplets.
She also showed Lin Yuan the comments in Shadowâs section.
Within the comment section of Shadow, besides discussions about the comics, many netizens were stirring:
âAsk Chu Kuang to solve the couplets quickâ
âNot just Chu Kuang, Shadow must know Xian Yu too, let Xian Yu also have a try. The couplets in âFlirting Scholarâ are too amazing, he is the real King of Couplets!â
âYou guys are discussing the âKing of Coupletsâ, arenât you? What the hell, this game is too hard, I only managed to get to the eighth level.â
âThe eighth level is not bad, I got stuck at the third, now you canât even play games without some culture.â
âAre you the legendary Dui Chuanchang?â
âSome couplets can be found directly on the internet. These are classic ones that I have memorized a few of before.â
âYes, many big shots in the literary world are also playing this game, and theyâve published the answers in the tribe.â
Lin Yuan shook his head.
Each knows his burden best, he isnât good at couplets.
The couplets in the movie were supplied by the Systemâs script.
Luo Wei said enviously: âIf only we could match couplets too. The couplets in the game âKing of Coupletsâ are getting harder. The professor from Sun City University matched twenty-three couplets in one go, and he instantly gained six million fans!â
âWait, how many?â
Lin Yuan looked surprised.
Luo Wei said: âTwenty-three coupletsâ¦â
Lin Yuan shook his head: âI mean the fan increase.â
Luo Wei laughed: âSix million, quite exaggerated, right! But that professor canât match any more couplets now, the latter ones are way too hard; they are new ones created by literary people hired by the game developers, they canât be found in any books, so now everyone is brainstorming and matching them together.â
â1 see.â
Lin Yuan felt a bit envious.
He really wished Chu Kuangâs account could gain more fans.
Because Chu Kuangâs account has a task to reach over one hundred million fans.
At the regular release rate of the book, there would naturally be an increase, but Lin Yuan felt it wasnât fast enough, and otherwise, he wouldnât have used Xian Yuâs second account to urge fans to follow Chu Kuang last time.
Unfortunatelyâ¦
Coupletsâ¦
He really couldnâtâ¦
Luo Wei chatted with Lin Yuan for a while longer before leaving work. Every day, she would draw comics in the studio and go home after finishing.
After Luo Wei left.
Lin Yuan opened the Tribe and took a look.
As expected.
Whether Chu Kuang or Xian Yuâs comment sections, there were many users seeking help with couplets, but Lin Yuan couldnât guess any of these either.
Just then.
Lin Yuan suddenly noticed many netizens sharing a couplet on the Tribe, this couplet had an extremely high repost count:
âThe hardest couplet in âKing of Coupletsâ has appeared, [âThe seawater falls morning after morning after morningâ]!â
âWhat god-like upper half-couplet is this?â
âSo many âmorningsâ. Are you sure itâs not randomly written?â
âCan I reply with [âThe fox cries night after night after nightâ]?â
âWhy donât you reply â[The game starts over and over and over]â?â
âWhy not just go with [âAll troops attack again and again and againâ]?â
âEnough joking, is there any expert who can match this?â
âThat professor from Sun City has no idea.â
âThe big shots from the Literature and Art Association also said that this couplet is hard. Itâs been ten minutes since this couplet appeared, and still no one has matched it, seems like the whole net is going to collapse.â
Lin Yuan scratched his head.
Isnât this couplet straightforward?
Didnât you guys pay attention during class?
Wait a momentâ¦
Lin Yuan suddenly realized.
This couplet is from Earth, of course Blue Starians wouldnât have learned it!
He was so lucky to run into a couplet that appeared on Earth?
Even though Lin Yuan didnât have many memories of his past life, he could remember some poems and famous phrases. He just didnât expect an Earth couplet to appear on Blue Star.
What is he waiting for!
This is a great opportunity for Chu Kuang to gain fans!
Lin Yuan quickly responded to the bottom couplet: [âThe floating cloud disappears day after day after dayâ]!
Chu Kuangâs account has quite a few fans.
As he matched the couplets, plenty of people were bound to take notice.
But what Lin Yuan didnât expect wasâ¦
After he managed this couplet.
The comments section actually read: âTeacher Admirable Fish, are you sure this isnât a random couplet?â
Teacher Admirable Fish-
Teacher Fish-
Teacherâ¦
Tcherâ¦
Damn!
He logged into the wrong account!
