Bright Era of China Entertainment

Chapter 459 "Struggle" Starts

"President Chu."

At the entrance of the hotel, a group of people finished their lunch and prepared to leave.

Mr. Cao said as he walked: "The project director I recruited will be in place tomorrow. I have to trouble Mr. Chu to make a few more trips to the company. The functional requirements of the platform have to be checked by Mr. Chu."

The plan was planned by Chu Xuan, and Chu Xuan knows best what the game platform needs.

Before formally developing the platform, it is necessary to formulate a demand analysis of the platform. It is more efficient for Chu Xuan to contact and communicate with the project director.

This was also agreed before, and Chu Xuan readily agreed: "Tomorrow, Concubine Liu Yi and I will come over to make an appointment, and try to complete the demand analysis in the shortest possible time, so as not to delay the communication between Mr. Cao and Alipay."

To discuss joint operations with other platforms, you only need games and a profit system.

When negotiating payment channels with Alipay, you must come up with a project for Alipay's reference.

If you want the project to start smoothly, you need to analyze the requirements, and then hand over each module to the corresponding technical team to develop the platform according to the requirements.

Therefore, the next task for him and Concubine Liu is to work out the requirements analysis of the platform with the company's project director.

"Mr. Wu, Mr. Liang, and Mr. Bi." Chu Xuan stopped and looked at the three bosses: "The three of you will recruit talents for each department as soon as possible, plan your five games, and put them on the development schedule as soon as possible. If you have any questions, we will contact you at any time.”

"Okay." The three bosses nodded.

"Three." Liu Xiaoli looked at them and said, "Then I'll come over to meet you tomorrow morning, and run a few times with you to finish the investment as soon as possible, so that you can take care of the next thing."

Without investment funds, the three bosses could hardly move forward in front of this huge plan. Hearing Liu Xiaoli's words, they all smiled: "Boss Liu."

The corners of Concubine Liu Yi's mouth curled up imperceptibly, and her mother was now promoted to Mr. Liu.

"Goodbye."

The two sides said goodbye to each other, got into the car and left.

On the avenue, Chu Xuan was driving a car and galloping.

Concubine Liu Yi was sitting in the co-pilot, playing Snake with her mobile phone.

Liu Xiaoli sorted out the documents in the back seat, and put them in the bag after finishing them: "Is your "Struggle" going to be broadcast at [-] o'clock tonight?"

Concubine Liu Yi said "Yeah", the snake on her phone hit the wall, she exited the game, and said "Yeah", "Yes, at eight o'clock tonight, mom, let's watch together."

Liu Xiaoli put all the documents away, and pulled the zipper of her bag: "What are you watching? Are you dating? What's the point of going to TV to watch something I see every day?"

Liu Xiaoli's joke made Chu Xuan raise the corner of his mouth and smile at Concubine Liu Yi.

Chu Xuan honked the horn twice, "Ba Ba~", the guard of the community saw Chu Xuan's face and opened the electronic gate to let him go, and the vehicle drove into the community immediately.

……

Since the news of the launch conference of "Struggle" spread in July last year, the audience has been full of expectations for it.

Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, as screen partners, moved to the city after the costume trilogy of "Dragon", "Sword" and "Sculpture", which also surprised the audience and fans.

"Struggle" was completed at the end of September last year, and audiences have been looking forward to its broadcast.

Almost everyone has the same expectation, that is, they want to see how Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi will feel when they work together in an urban drama.

In January of this year, the news that "Struggle" was finalized was confirmed, and the information broadcast by the three major channels was too large, which not only attracted the attention of the audience, but also shocked people in the industry.

But for the audience, the drama starring their favorite idol can have such a big name, which makes them happy, and she didn't do what she thought.

But for industry insiders, this news means breaking the current situation that TV stations only broadcast exclusively. This is definitely a boon for industry insiders, and it also makes them focus on "Struggle".

How much will the combined ratings of the three major channels reach?Is it a total explosion?Or mediocre?
Some people look forward to it, some wait and see, and some people use dark psychology to predict that "Struggle" will hit the street.

All parties have different ideas.

For audience fans, a drama starring Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi must be popular.

Today is the day when "Struggle" starts broadcasting, and audiences and fans have also ignited their passion on Weiyu.

【eight pm!Brothers and sisters, remember to watch it! 】

[It's over, it's over, how could you forget? 】

[I just want to ask, which channel is better to watch?Mango table?Yamashiro Terrace?Jiangsu and Zhejiang Taiwan? 】

[Anything, it doesn't matter which channel is supporting Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi. 】

[I asked my parents to watch Mango TV in their room, and asked my grandma to watch Shancheng TV in her room, and I watched Mango TV in the living room. How is this operation? 】

[Hahaha, this is awesome, you can play! 】

[Fuck, do you have three TVs at home?Tuhao, let's be friends. 】

Due to the upcoming broadcast of "Struggle", viewers and fans are discussing it on the Internet.

In the hearts of audience fans, their idols are different.

Debuted for several years, but the output is pitifully low.

Take Liu Yifei as an example, "Golden Powder" in 03, "Tianlong" in 04, "Sword" in 05, and "Sculpture of God" in 06, aside from Chu Xuan's "Male Talent and Female Appearance", it is almost the same situation.

Other stars have at least two or three dramas a year, and as many as N, unlike the two of them, there is only one drama a year.

Obviously the resources are very good, but they don't shoot more, as if filming one more drama will delay their relationship, making them, the audience and fans, waiting every day for the news of the two people's film and television drama.

However, although there are few works, as soon as they hit the market, they become classics in many people's minds.

Such a situation made the audience feel full of expectations for Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi's new drama.

After "Struggle" was finalized and the outline of the story was publicized, many viewers inevitably had their own guesses about it.

Urban inspiration and urban idol have these two elements.

Since there are idol elements, then Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi must be a couple. There is no need to guess, and this is also common sense in the hearts of audience fans.

And the urban inspirational elements, combined with the title of "Struggle", can be known. It is probably a story of young people working hard in the city.

So, what will the relationship between Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu be like?This question has aroused the speculation of many people.

[In the story introduction, didn’t it say that the leading actors are all college graduates? Let’s make a blind guess. Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are classmates. Because of their different majors, they each struggled in different fields, and then they met by chance, and finally got together. 】

[I guess, because of the obstruction of the families of both parties, the two people who are clearly in love cannot be together, but they each agree to work hard to prove their careers to their parents, and finally get married after they become famous. 】

[I can't guess the plot, but what I can guess is that Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi will definitely experience all kinds of twists and turns, anyway, it is impossible to be together until the finale. 】

[My thoughts are the same as above. 】

[Seeing the thoughts of all the "screenwriters", I want to say, if I know your thoughts as a screenwriter, I will directly reverse the routine and let Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei be together in the first episode, which will shock your attention. 】

[Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi were together in the first episode?How can it be?Is there such a good screenwriter? 】

[Impossible, judging from the emotional lines of "Sword of Immortal Sword" and "Sculpture of the Gods", it is not the style of their drama to do something. 】

【that is.If Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi were together in the first episode, I'd eat the keyboard! 】

Audience fans are expressing their thoughts every day, which is enough to show their love for Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi, and also shows their full expectation for "Struggle".

And under this long-standing expectation, "Struggle" started broadcasting on time at [-]:[-] p.m.

"It's about to start!" In the small villa, Concubine Liu Yi saw that Chu Xuan was busy chatting on QQ on the phone, and couldn't help pulling his hand.

Chu Xuan put down his phone, looked up and watched TV with Concubine Liu Yi.

Liu Xiaoli came from the kitchen with fruit in her hand. Although she said it was meaningless to watch two children fall in love every day, it was not interesting to watch it on TV, but it was also a work produced by the two children's hard work, so she was looking forward to it.

Liu Xiaoli sat beside her daughter, holding a pear in her hand, watching while eating.

At the same time, Shenghai's Xiaoyun's countdown to watching TV commercials was about to end, so she was busy sending messages in the QQ group: [The broadcast is on! 】.

Xiaoxi from the capital saw the news in the QQ group, and while she was eating at the dining table, she quickly picked up her rice bowl and ran to the sofa in the living room to sit down and turned on the TV.

Brothers Xiaoru and Xiaohui, who were studying at Star City University, came to the home of a local classmate and sat side by side on the sofa together, waiting for the countdown to end.

At this moment, countless viewers across the country are like them, sitting on the sofa in the living room, and the TV shows Mango TV, Jiangsu-Zhejiang TV, or Shancheng TV.

The simulcast of the three major channels, how wide the viewing area is, is still unknown, and the answer can only be known after today's broadcast ends.

After a while, in the eyes of countless viewers across the country, the long advertisement finally came to an end.

When the screen went black and the process of switching images started, everyone cheered up.

As soon as the screen lights up, the theme song also plays.

【"Same airport, different world.

Same coffee, different taste. "]

"Ah—"Wings" sung by Lin Junjie!" A female audience was pleasantly surprised when she heard Lin Junjie's singing.

"It's ok, the crew has a vision, and they use this song as the theme song." Many viewers said so, seeming to be very interested.

"This song is so good!" Many audience members praised.

In Chu Xuan's memory, this is not the theme song of "Struggle".

Zhao Baogang and Shi Kangna are not musicians either. The theme song of "Struggle" is a choice made by the marketing department of Brilliant Times based on the script and the market.

Choosing "Wings" sung by Lin Junjie as the theme song surprised Chu Xuan at the time.

Probably because of the investment of Brilliant Times, the crew still has some funds after filming.

And the popular song sung by a popular little heavenly king, combined with the drama of two super-first-line actors Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, made "Struggle" even before the feature film appeared, and young audiences all over the country were even more excited.

The audience was in a good mood because of the good music, and slowly turned their eyes to the picture——

In the airport lounge, Chu Xuan was sitting on a chair with a cup of coffee, Concubine Liu Yi was standing beside Chu Xuan, the two looked at Su Chang's back as he was going to board the plane, with melancholy faces.

["The same me, and I are a little less.

See the plane across the sky no ~ see you. "]

Su Chang's plane pierced through the sky and disappeared into the clouds.

【"Fly with the wings you gave me,
I know it's not sad.

No matter how high you go, you won't be tired.

We're all set. "]

"This plot is wrong, why do I feel that Chu Xuan and Su Chang are having an affair?" Xiao Ru said while sitting on the sofa, she felt something was wrong.

In this picture, Su Chang's lonely back, the plane leaving; Chu Xuan is holding coffee, with a hesitant face.

Combined with the slightly sad lyrics, how do you feel that this theme song is describing Chu Xuan and Su Chang?
What about Liu Yifei?
Speaking of this, Chu Xuan had to admire the idea of ​​the marketing department for choosing this song.

In the understanding of the marketing staff, this song is combined with the story of "Struggle". The first half of the lyrics sang the mood of Mi Lai played by Su Chang, and the second half of the lyrics sang the mood of Charlene played by Liu Yifei.

Because of the existence of the male protagonist Lu Tao, these two women have different emotional lines and development routes.

And the song "Wings" is an inspirational song, and the lyrics fit very well with the plot of the characters in "Struggle".

And combined with "Struggle", two meanings are finally expressed. Concubine Liu Yi's Charlene goes forward because of love, and Su Chang's Mi Lai gives up love and chooses independence.

These two meanings are very positive, and they also reflect the personality of women. When Chu Xuan heard this explanation, he gave the marketing department a thumbs up in admiration.

This song is really interesting as the theme song of "Struggle".

But the audience is not Chu Xuan, who haven't watched the plot yet. From the theme song and the opening screen, there is a vague guess that several characters in "Struggle" are a love triangle.

This made the audience who were watching Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi feel a little uncomfortable.

But guessing is just guessing, no matter what, we have to watch the plot.

When the opening title and the theme song disappeared, the main picture of the youthful vitality of the campus came into the eyes of audiences across the country-Chu Xuan and Huang Xuan were walking on the campus road, preparing to graduate.

"Chu Xuan's modern image is even better than that of ancient costumes." Xiao Ru held a bag of potato chips in her hand, and looked at the sunny and energetic Chu Xuan on the screen, her eyes flickered.

"Super handsome." The classmate Han Han next to him nodded repeatedly.

Xiaohui rolled his eyes, can't you girls watch something else?
The plot at the beginning of the TV shows that Chu Xuan and the others are university graduates and their major in architectural design, and the makeup in it also preliminarily defines the basic image of the leading group in the play.

However, when a group of students celebrated their graduation on campus, Mi Lai, played by Su Chang, drove a BMW and went straight to Chu Xuan with flowers in his hand, wanting to hug him.

"Sure enough, they have something to do!" Sheng Hai Xiaoyun frowned. Although Su Chang was a first-line star, even though she knew that Su Chang was a good friend of Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi, the appearance of this scene still made her feel uncomfortable.

However, seeing Chu Xuan dodging Su Chang's hug, she squinted her eyes in relief, and praised Chu Xuan's behavior.

Xiaoxi, Xiaoru and many audiences across the country are also in the same mood as Xiaoyun at the moment.

In their hearts, the locked couple relationship between Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi has become an inseparable complex for them, making them unable to see Chu Xuan with other women, and Concubine Liu Yi with other men. together, not even in a play.

And when more and more viewers have such a complex, it proves that Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi's "national couple" route is getting deeper and deeper, and it is getting more and more popular among the people.

In the following plot, audiences across the country learned about the various relationships between the characters from the dialogues. It turned out that Mi Lai had pursued Lu Tao for several years, but Lu Tao had strong self-esteem, and Mi Lai's family background was too good, so Lu Tao never accepted Mi Lai.

Su Chang acted nonchalantly in the play, maybe Lu Tao's refusal was not just once or twice, she was used to it, but it happened to be a good day for graduation, so she invited Lu Tao to dinner and invited her good friend Xia Lin by the way.

Charlene?

Concubine Liu Yi is about to appear?
More than half of the first episode has passed, and the heroine has never appeared. Now it is expected that the heroine Liu Yifei will appear on the stage, which makes audiences across the country have some expectations.

The scene changed from the youthful and energetic atmosphere of the campus to a billiards room that, in most people's minds, only boys would go to.

In front of a billiard table in the billiard room, Concubine Liu Yi was wearing a baseball cap, white inside and blue suspenders, with a lollipop in her mouth.

"Wow! Can Concubine Liu Yi be so cool?" Han Han looked at the TV, and this appearance of Concubine Liu Yi surprised her, it was an image she had never seen before.

On TV, Concubine Liu Yi stood upright, holding a pool cue in her right hand, and wiping the head of the cue with a chocolate in her left.

Immediately, she put down the chocolate, bent down, stretched out her left hand and laid it on the billiard table, with her thumb up, and her right hand held the club between her thumb and index finger.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, and under the close-up shot, her eyes were piercing, staring directly at the No. [-] black ball on the pool table.

The camera pans up to give Liu Yifei a panoramic view of Liu Yifei's back in mid-air. In the frame centered on the position where Liu Yifei's club head is aiming at the white ball, Liu Yifei shrinks the club back and pushes it violently.

"Bah-"

"Boom-"

The No. [-] black ball quickly entered the warehouse in a straight line without delay.

The white ball was fixedly positioned in front of the original No. [-] black ball, motionless.

In terms of professional terms in billiards, Liu Yifei hit a "fixed shot".

After watching the ball go into storage, Concubine Liu Yi put down her cue and calmly picked up the phone that was ringing.

"You're so handsome!!" Xiaoyun from Shenghai smiled all over her face.

"Cool!" Xiao Xi from the capital was beaming with joy.

"It's too rusty!" Xiao Ru and Xiao Hui were amazed.

In "Golden Powder", Concubine Liu Yi is pure.

In "Sky Dragon", Concubine Liu Yi is dumbfounded.

In "Sword of Heaven", Concubine Liu Yi is cute.

In "Sculpture of God", Concubine Liu Yi is an ice beauty.

However, wearing a baseball cap, suspenders, and eating a lollipop, he hit his soul with a stroke on the pool table in a standard posture, and then walked away calmly.

Have they ever seen Concubine Liu Yi like this?

And Liu Yifei's way of appearing on the stage may become a classic in many people's minds.

This concludes the first episode.

Although Concubine Liu Yi, as the heroine, only appeared at the end of the first episode, but the scene of her appearance is definitely something that people will not easily forget.

This short scene also reflects the initial character of the character played by Concubine Liu Yi.

Under Zhao Baogang's deliberate design, except for Concubine Liu Yi, everyone in the billiard room is male.

In the way of setting off, it shows the personality of Concubine Liu Yi's character Charlene, and the character of not sticking to the constraints of various rules and regulations in society.

Concubine Liu Yi preliminarily shaped a very individual Charlene through makeup and movements.

With the anticipation of audiences across the country, the second episode began.

Charlene received a call from Mi Lai's invitation to have dinner, and happily went.

It's just that another person who played billiards with Charlene also followed like a follower.

The screen jumps to an elegant seat in a restaurant, where Chu Xuan and Su Chang are already seated, waiting for Concubine Liu Yi to arrive.

From the dialogue between the two, the audience figured out the relationship between the characters.

Charlene and Mi Lai are classmates and best friends from other schools, but Charlene has never met Lu Tao, only heard about it from Mi Lai.

The most amazing thing for the audience is that Charlene has a suitor and has pursued her for several years, but Lu Tao also has a suitor named Mi Lai, who has also pursued him for several years.

"What kind of magical opening is this!" Xiaoyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Lu Tao has a suitor, and Charlene also has a suitor. Lu Tao's suitor is still Charlene's best friend. My God, how can the two of them get along so well!" Xiaoxi stared.

"What kind of complicated relationship is this? How should the plot develop?" Xiaoru was dumbfounded, and Xiaohui and Hanhan beside her were also confused by the opening of the hero and heroine.

"I knew that something would happen. Given the complexity of the relationship, if Lu Tao wanted to be with Charlene, he would have to go through ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties." Xiaohui's face was full of contempt, as I expected.

Many viewers across the country deeply agree with their views.

Charlene wants to be with Lu Tao, what about her best friend Mi Lai?
Lu Tao wants to be with Charlene, but Xia Lin also has a boy who has been pursuing him for several years blocking the way, what's going on?
Many viewers watched "Struggle" for Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi. Of course, what they most hope to see is that Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi are together happily and happily in the play.

However, under the baptism of previous urban idol dramas, audiences all over the country believed that Charlene and Lu Tao really wanted to be together. Judging from the current situation, it seemed difficult to deal with, and the complicated relationship between the characters was a bit unsolvable.

According to the analysis of previous urban idol dramas, if two people want to be together, they must first deal with Mi Lai as a best friend, comfort Mi Lai, and then deal with Charlene's suitor, let him give up voluntarily or have some plot to make him keep away.

After all this is done, the hero and heroine can be together.

To put it simply, in the minds of audiences across the country, the suitors of Mi Lai and Charlene are roadblocks and villains. The villains must be resolved before the hero and heroine can be together. This is a very normal logic.

However, the following plot severely slapped all audiences across the country in the face!
After a small game in the restaurant, Chu Xuan asked for Concubine Liu Yi's phone number.

That night, Chu Xuan called Concubine Liu Yi to get her out.

In the TV, two people walked on the road and talked softly to each other.

"Why go to France? Isn't it good in China?"

"You care about me?"

"Is it possible to stay?"

"why?"

"What if someone wants you to stay?"

Seeing this, many viewers felt a throbbing feeling in their hearts.

"That depends on whether this person can impress me."

"Do you believe in love at first sight?"

Xiao Ru was startled, is this a confession?
Xiao Xi is cute, isn't it, you two have only known each other for a day!
Xiaoyun was stunned, this is only the second episode!How can the hero and heroine be together in the second episode of an idol drama?Isn't it necessary to love to the death or to be together if you can't get it and you have to kill the villain in the finale?

"Believe."

"Charlene..."

On the TV, Chu Xuan looked at Concubine Liu Yi, and Concubine Liu Yi looked at Chu Xuan.

Just as Chu Xuan spoke, Concubine Liu Yi opened her mouth at the same time, and they both said in unison: "I like you."

Under the street lamp, the two people looked at each other face to face, and the two shadows stretched very long.

The audience across the country was stunned. On the first day of acquaintance, we met twice and we were together?

Charlene, what about your best friend Mi Lai?
Lu Tao, are you not afraid that Charlene's suitor will hit you?
The male protagonist dumped Bai Fumei who had been chasing him for several years, and the female protagonist dumped Gao Fushuai who had been chasing him for several years, and then the male and female protagonists became a couple like lightning?

Good guy, can idol dramas still be filmed like this?
"So handsome!!"

"It exploded! This plot is really amazing!"

"Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi are together in the second episode, I give "Struggle" full marks!"

"That's the way it is! What's the point of watching those stumbling idol dramas, it must be so direct! It must be so individual!"

"Damn, is it so exciting! It's love at first sight!"

"Hahaha, I like this kind of plot, but I still want to seek Mi Lai's psychological shadow."
