Bright Era of China Entertainment

Late at night, Mango Terrace.

Ou Yangyang sat quietly on the sofa in the office, reading a newspaper with both hands to pass the boring time.

He is waiting for the ratings of the premiere of "Zhu Xian".

Originally, he was not very optimistic about the drama "Zhu Xian".

Based on the phenomenon-level explosion of "Sculpture of God", out of trust in the bright era, he invested in this drama before casting.

But no one thought that Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi would let two newcomers appear in this drama.

Both the male lead and the female lead are newcomers, so it is doomed that the performance of this drama will be lowered at the beginning. Even if it depends on the quality, the subsequent grades may be gradually improved, but if the grades are raised at the beginning, then the subsequent grades will not be good. Will it be higher?

Because of this, his evaluation of "Zhu Xian" has always been ambiguous, but Mango TV is the main investor in it, and the actions of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei have made him a bit in a dilemma.

But he didn't expect that there would be a big turning point in this matter.

Brilliant Times will broadcast "Struggle" first, and after "Zhu Xian", I have to say that this is a brilliant idea.

With the blessings of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, "Struggle" made several young actors including Huang Xuan and Zhao Liying popular in one fell swoop, especially Huang Xuan and Zhao Liying, whom he cared about very much, are now in the trend of moving from third to second.

The reason why it took only one month for a newcomer to reach such a point is because of the results of the three-channel simulcast of "Struggle", which directly expanded the spread of the show.

For this, he, like Brilliant Times, must thank Xiashanchengtai and Jiangsu-Zhejiang Taiwan for their help.

However, Huang Xuan and Zhao Liying have gained popularity, and the residual heat of "Struggle" has not diminished. The popularity of these two people is still high at this stage, and they are facing the launch of "Zhu Xian". This change in popularity will lead to the transformation from "Struggle" to " "Zhu Xian" drainage situation.

Coupled with Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei's production titles, the popularity of both sides merged into one, and he changed his attitude that he was not very optimistic about "Zhu Xian" before.

At this moment, Director Ou Yangyang has long since lost his worries about "Zhu Xian", but instead has a higher expectation and full of expectations for "Zhu Xian".

"Director." The deputy director opened the door and walked in.

Chief Ou Yangyang raised his eyebrows and looked at him, seeing the smile on his face, he felt relieved, squinted his eyes and said, "How much?"

"5.5." The deputy director said the result: "According to the trend of the data, if there is no accident, it is expected to reach 7."

The average income is 5.5, judging from the current market in 07, it is considered a small fire.

If it can reach 7, it can be called a fire drama.

As for hits like "Moment in Beijing", "Bright Sword", "Soldier Assault", "Sculpture" and "Struggle", which can break the 10 ratings, they are simply rare, and they cannot be predicted in advance.

Of course, with the trend of TV ratings year after year, the audience's choices are increasing year by year, and the high ratings of TV dramas will only get lower and lower.

But that's for the future. For Mr. Ou Yangyang, "Zhu Xian", without the participation of popular actors, showed a trend of small popularity at the beginning, which is enough for him to be satisfied.

"That's right. According to the plan, the publicity will be increased, and the joint marketing with Brilliant Times will also be stepped up." Chief Ouyang Yang nodded with satisfaction.

The next moment he changed his mind, he cooperated with Brilliant Times twice, and the results of the two consecutive cooperations were satisfactory, which made him more determined to deepen friendly cooperation with Brilliant Times.

After getting a satisfactory answer, Chief Ouyang Yang got up and went home, so he could sleep peacefully.

And with the end of the premiere of "Zhu Xian", discussions on the Internet have gradually started. There are always some night owls who like to chat about dramas in the middle of the night, and there is no sign of stopping until the sky turns dark. The topic of "Zhu Xian" gradually became a hot search.

"good evening."

"Good morning."

In the early morning, not long after Chu Xuan got up, he was leaning on the bedside and holding a laptop to read the company's project information.

The phone was placed beside the pillow, and the hands-free was turned on, and Concubine Liu Yi's sweet voice came out from it.

The young couple greeted each other with jet lag as usual, and then chatted about "Zhu Xian".

The plot was nothing to talk about. As producers, they had already watched the plot from the first episode to the finale during the post-production of "Zhu Xian".

For Concubine Liu Yi, she is more concerned about the performance of "Zhu Xian".

"Has the ratings for the first broadcast come out?" she asked.

"5.5, very good, don't worry?" Chu Xuan looked at the information on the computer screen and said, he had already learned about the ratings from Mango Channel last night.

"5.5? It's higher than "Legend of Sword". Is it the first in the same time period?" Concubine Liu Yi's excited voice came.

Chu Xuan slowly shook his head: "Mr. Zhang Guoli and Mr. Deng Jie's "Golden Wedding" comes first, "Family with Children" comes second, "Detective Di Renjie 2" comes third, and "Zhu Xian" comes fourth."

"Ah? Only fourth!" Concubine Liu Yi was surprised.

Hearing her voice, Chu Xuan could imagine Concubine Liu Yi's cute appearance with pouting lips and frowning.

He smiled slightly: "Okay, Xianxia drama is not the mainstream in the current market, it's pretty good to be ranked fourth."

He added: "If you let Teacher Zhang Guoli and Song Dandan know about your reaction, the teachers will probably teach you."

Hearing his words, Liu Yifei gave a playful "hee hee": "I read the comments on the Internet, and generally they said it was okay, especially the comments on special effects that got the most likes."

Chu Xuan said: "The plot has not yet unfolded, and the special effects are used to attract people in the early stage."

Concubine Liu Yi said "Yes" twice: "I really look forward to the audience's reaction when Baguio saves Zhang Xiaofan and dies."

"It should be able to deceive a wave of tears." Chu Xuan said.

"What's deception! That's true deduction!" Concubine Liu Yi said, at least it was a work produced by herself, and Chu Xuan used the word "deception" to make her feel a little annoyed.

"As far as Zhao Liying's acting skills are concerned, they can only be "deceived"." Chu Xuan didn't show any mercy to his apprentice's complaints.

Concubine Liu Yi let out a "puchi" and was amused by Chu Xuan: "If Li Ying knows what you said, she will be sad again."

The corners of Chu Xuan's mouth turned up. Looking at the information on the computer screen, he casually sniffed at the tip of his nose, and said, "I'm going to take a shower first. I smell like spicy hot pot. I'll call you after I take a shower."

"Ah!" Concubine Liu Yi was stunned for a moment, and there was a voice of criticism: "You ate Malatang last night, and the smell was so strong that you went to bed without taking a shower. Chu Xuan, leave me, you are not clean anymore."

Chu Xuan was stunned, unable to laugh or cry: "What's your name, why is it not clean? There is a deep ambiguity in this sentence, okay?"

Concubine Liu Yi didn't take it seriously: "Look at you, now you don't fold the quilt when you get up, and you don't know how to take the quilt to dry in the sun, and now you sleep without taking a bath after eating Mala Tang, the bed must be full of that smell , really."

"I admit my mistake." Chu Xuan said: "After we separated from you, I am indeed a bit lazy in living alone, but I can't blame me, it can only be said that I miss you so much that I forgot my usual way of life. "

Hearing this, Concubine Liu Yi was silent for a while, and then said: "You are so oily."

Chu Xuan was stunned, and immediately couldn't help laughing: "Concubine Liu Yi! I found that your mouth is getting more and more poisonous, and I want to hit someone!"

"Come on, come and hit me!" Concubine Liu Yi smiled and said, "Wait!"

Chu Xuan supported his forehead, shook his head helplessly, and could only complain: "The witch."

Concubine Liu Yi's laughter came from the phone: "Okay, let's do this first, I'm going down for dinner, and I'll go for a drive with Mom, Sister Caitlin and Brother Jess later, I'll call you again tomorrow morning, I miss you Yo."

Miss you? ...Chu Xuan replied: "You are so oily."

As soon as these words came out, there was a silence on the other side, and then Concubine Liu Yi's pitiful voice came: "Chu Xuan, you don't love me anymore."

Chu Xuan was stunned, and then said softly: "I love you."

"You are so oily." Concubine Liu Yi said mischievously.

Then with a beep, the phone hung up.

Chu Xuan looked bewildered, and then smiled helplessly.

This witch, the demonic aura on her body is getting heavier and heavier.

After getting up and taking a shower, I went to Sister Hua's house for breakfast, then Chu Xuan and Wang Jinhua drove to the company, and started their two-point and one-line life between home and company.

Occasionally, I get together with Su Chang, Huang Bo and other friends to adjust my life, and I talk to Concubine Liu Yi every morning and evening to fill the emptiness in my heart. This kind of life has gradually become a habit.

Just as Chu Xuan was gradually getting used to his life, "Zhu Xian" was broadcasting in an orderly manner as time went by.

If it is said that during the broadcast period, the audience was attracted by the special effects.

With the appearance of each character, the special effects have become embellishments, and the audience's attention is cast on each character.

[Chen Daoming is mighty!This Daoxuan was sitting there without getting angry, he was so domineering. 】

[Wang Jinsong also acted well, with a momentum comparable to that of Chen Daoming. 】

[Liu Yijun is also good, his temperament is absolutely perfect. 】

[Meng Guangmei's Master Shuiyue has such a temperament, at first glance I thought I saw Li Mochou, so sassy! 】

[This actor is really good, all of them are at the level of the emperor and actor. 】

As the actors in the play appeared one by one, whether they were familiar faces or unfamiliar ones, their superb acting skills were still praised.

And when the characters appear one by one, the plot slowly unfolds, and the rich and emotional plot gradually becomes popular——

Zhang Xiaofan, played by Huang Xuan, and Lin Jingyu, played by Hu Ge, went to Qingyunmen to study as a teacher.

In the eyes of the sect leader Daoxuan and all the elders, Zhang Xiaofan is mediocre with a dull complexion, Lin Jingyu is talented and has a natural proud heroism in his brows.

Because of this, a Taoist Cangsong who worshiped a lot of resources under the sect, and another was forced to join the sect of Tian Buyi, whose population was withered.

After repeated tests by Master Tian Buyi, he found that Zhang Xiaofan was really mediocre and unprofessional, so he completely lost interest in Zhang Xiaofan, and left all the heavy and tiring work to Zhang Xiaofan alone.

Zhang Xiaofan is originally a character who doesn't like to fight, and he is taciturn and doesn't like to communicate, but he is still a very honest and responsible person.

Ever since, when cooking in the kitchen, and chopping firewood on the mountain peak, there is always Zhang Xiaofan's slightly lonely figure.

Even if the master doesn't love him and his senior brother doesn't love him, Zhang Xiaofan seems to be so diligent and conscientious.

No competition, no motivation, no goals, no characteristics, it looks extremely mediocre, which also makes the audience curse.

[This is the first time I've seen such a useless protagonist! 】

[Fuck, what's going on that makes me a little depressed? 】

[Is this the protagonist? 】

[Hurry up and explode, it has been like this for several consecutive episodes, I can't stand it anymore. 】

Although this version of "Zhu Xian" is a group portrait, the plots at the beginning of the first few episodes need to be opened from Zhang Xiaofan's perspective.

And in order to pave the way for Zhang Xiaofan's changes, the previous plot is mainly about Zhang Xiaofan.

However, in the eyes of the audience, one is looked down upon by the head of the sect, the other is ignored by the elders, the third is abandoned by the master, the fourth is treated lukewarmly by the senior brothers, and the fifth is Zhang Xiaofan who does all the chores in the mountain gate by himself The sixth is Zhang Xiaofan's attitude of never resisting or even getting rid of it safely.

All these plots and negative elements are all accumulated on one person, and this person is still the protagonist, and this kind of plot seems to have no head, which makes the audience feel uncomfortable.

Compared with the protagonists in other dramas, even if there is a process of growth, there will not be too many ups and downs and depressing plots to make people uncomfortable, and "Zhu Xian" is so different that the audience really cannot complain.

Fortunately, in the first few episodes, Su Chang supported the plot.

[Su Chang's acting is good, Tian Linger's cleverness and eccentricity have brought out the essence of the performance. 】

[Yes, now I have the deepest impression on Tian Linger. 】

[Same as above, beautiful, cute and naughty. 】

【Mainly, she is the only person who treats Zhang Xiaofan well. 】

The entire mountain gate is almost a situation where no one cares about Zhang Xiaofan, only Tian Linger who grew up with Zhang Xiaofan is willing to be with Zhang Xiaofan.

The two are childhood sweethearts, so they can be called childhood sweethearts.

But Tian Linger is naughty, active and loves to joke, Zhang Xiaofan is dull and reticent, whenever Tian Linger jokes, he just smiles.

This scene is almost like love.

In the stage of the plot where the camera is dominated by Zhang Xiaofan played by Huang Xuan, this cute figure who appears every time Zhang Xiaofan is depressed can always dispel the dull atmosphere and become joyful.

This also made the audience deeply remember Tian Linger and deepened their impression of Su Chang.

[Am I wrong?Tian Linger is the heroine? 】

[Probably not, Tian Linger's ranking on the cast list is obviously only a supporting role. 】

[Don't forget there is Qi Hao, Tian Linger obviously likes Qi Hao better. 】

【Ah——what kind of relationship is this, I like Zhang Xiaofan and Tian Linger together, they are a good match. 】

[I hope so too, the screenwriter don't make trouble. 】

Zhang Xiaofan and Tian Linger together?The audience can have such hope, which shows that Zhao Jian's director and editing, and Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei's producers are successful in at least this part.

It is to let the audience have this idea, so that the following plot can make the audience feel heartbroken.

"Brother Qi."

Under the moonlit night, in the woods, Tian Linger briskly ran towards Qihao.

The two looked at each other affectionately, Qihao planned to hold Tian Linger's hand, Tian Linger shyly flashed across her face, but she didn't refuse.

"Ling'er, actually, I, I have always liked you." Qi Hao confessed hesitatingly.

"I..." Tian Linger bowed her head shyly, and whispered softly: "Senior Brother Qi, Linger, Linger likes you too."

When the camera turned, Zhang Xiaofan who followed was hiding behind a tree not far away, he grasped the tree tightly with his hand, the bark fell off a little, and there was a slight "click" sound.

His lips were trembling, his clenched left hand expressed his unwillingness, and the bulging muscles of his cheeks revealed his anger when he clenched his teeth.

However, as soon as his whole body relaxed, he turned extremely decadent.

He turned and left, slowly disappearing into the darkness.

Only the blurred figure of the moonlight slanting in the darkness looks so lonely and haggard.

【Ahhh!I can't take it anymore! 】

[Fuck you, uncle, what the hell is this! 】

【Even if Tian Linger doesn't like Zhang Xiaofan, there's no need to do this! 】

[I'm so convinced, it's been six episodes, and every episode is suppressing Zhang Xiaofan, this screenwriter really can't see Zhang Xiaofan, okay!Until now, I have never seen Zhang Xiaofan get such a little benefit! 】

[Too depressing!If you want friends but no friends, if you want a woman and run away with others, if you want to practice but can't practice, if you get a magic weapon but can't use it, such a protagonist is really aggrieved! 】

When the episode aired, viewers sparked a small "riot" online.

The official Weibo account of "Zhu Xian" was directly scolded as a dog, and all kinds of abusive remarks were unsightly.

They really have never seen such a plot.

Even Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei's "Sword of Heaven" and "Sculpture of God", the emotional line is abused, but the growth plot does not make things happen. Should the male and female protagonists become stronger or will be stronger, there is no stumbling block in this regard.

If the emotional line is depressing, then the growth line can be refreshing. This ups and downs made the audience feel comfortable watching it.

But what about "Zhu Xian"?Suppress the protagonist in all directions!Whether it is material or spiritual, whether it is superficial or psychological, there is not even a plot that makes people look comfortable.

The audience was suppressed for several days, and they chose to release it after they couldn't suppress it. The official Weibo of "Zhu Xian" was maxed out, and they didn't even dare to reply.

"Chu Xuan, many people are scolding." Concubine Liu Yi said over the phone.

In the office, Chu Xuan picked up a small teacup from the tea tray and took a sip of tea, glanced at the comments on the laptop, turned on the hands-free cell phone and said, "Where is this, the more depressing one hasn't come out yet."

"The essence of the plot of the male protagonist in "Zhu Xian" is the completely different changes between Zhang Xiaofan and Ghost Li. The harder Zhang Xiaofan presses down in the stage, the more Ghost Li can release in the stage."

"As we considered at the beginning, Zhang Xiaofan represents the life stage of one of the masses, and Ghost Li represents the fantasy of venting."

"Only by showing this point, will more audiences truly understand the character of Zhang Xiaofan."

"Okay, I hope the car doesn't overturn." Concubine Liu Yi muttered.
