Entertainment Empire

The press conference officially started. The two directors Kong Sheng and Hou Hongliang were sitting in the center. The main actors such as Luo Xun and Sun Li were sitting on the stage. Behind them was a huge poster of "Blood Romance".

The atmosphere is a little weird.

Because there are really not many reporters in the audience.

However, precisely because the atmosphere at the scene was deserted, the few reporters in the audience all showed excited expressions. They had already smelled the news. Before that, they had no idea about the news value of the "Blood Romance" press conference. They don't have much hope, which is why they were listless before.

The host comes on stage.

After following the script.

The most important question-and-answer session of the new movie press conference has come. The first reporter in the audience stood up and pointed out the most obvious question directly and pointedly: "I would like to ask Mr. Luo Xun about the press conference of "Blood Romance" No one has anything to say. Does this mean that the media and the entertainment industry are not optimistic about the prospects of this TV series?”

He was asking about Luo Xun.

To be precise, these reporters today will basically come to Luo Xun, because Luo Xun is the male lead in "Blood Romance" and the person with the highest status in the entire TV series. Huanyue filmed this movie all for him. This is already known to everyone!

"No one cares?"

Luo Xun smiled: "It's probably because there are no reporters paying attention. Regardless of the media or the entertainment industry, they are chasing hot news. There is nothing wrong with this in itself, but if someone tries to connect this kind of thing with the prospects of TV series, then It’s too ridiculous. Is it the reporter who has the final say on the quality of a TV series, or the entertainment industry?”

The reporter was stunned.

Luo Xun's smile disappeared: "So, the media can't decide the quality and popularity of a TV series, and the entertainment industry can't decide it. The audience has the final say on this matter. Could it be that a show that your media likes will become a hit? I can't tell if I can watch it, right? ”

The reporter was speechless.

He didn't expect that Luo Xun, who had a pretty good image in the industry, would forcefully push him back today, and he couldn't organize the rest of his words for a while. You must know that Luo Xun always treats interviews and the like. He is very gentle. The impression of him among those in the circle is that he is as gentle as jade.

Luo Xun stood beside him.

Kong Sheng and Hou Hongliang glanced at Luo Xun and said nothing. Sun Li bit her lip. She understood Luo Xun's mood. As the heroine of this drama, she also felt a little aggrieved. After filming "Jade Guanyin" ” is obviously quite famous, but it is an indisputable fact that not many reporters came today.

"Next one."

The host spoke quickly.

The remaining reporters showed even more excitement. Being strong is good, and they like Luo Xun to be strong. This shows that Luo Xun is dissatisfied. The more dissatisfied Luo Xun is, the happier the reporters are!

"Everyone knows it."

The second female reporter said: ""Blood Romance" is a serious drama. Eighty percent of the dramas are well received but not popular. Even CCTV's dramas as a platform have many works with low ratings. Luo Xun, what do you think about it? Where does the confidence in this drama come from?”

"team!"

Luo Xun's voice was a little cold: ""Blood Romance" has excellent directors like Kong Sheng and Hou Hongliang, as well as great writers like Mr. Du Liang, and we have a bunch of good actors, a good team, and a good script. , good actors, these are the three major elements for a successful play, we have them all, why should I not have confidence?”

"But……"

The third reporter spoke with a hint of aggression: "This is all your opinion, and in the eyes of the industry, the two directors do not seem to have made any familiar works... Well, maybe I am ignorant, and so is Mr. Du Liang. This is my first time as a screenwriter... As for actors, we all know how attractive big-name actors are to the media, but there are not many media here today..."

"I'm not a big name."

Luo Xun's tone was strong: "I'm not, and neither is Sun Li. None of the actors here are big names, but with so many TV series produced in China every year, the real success is due to big names? Isn't that the case? I understand that it’s only when the TV series becomes popular that actors become big names.”

There is some low pressure at the scene.

Chen Ran, who was backstage, couldn't help but worry watching the development: "How about I go up and say a few words? I'm worried that Luo Xun will say something inappropriate in a while. What do you think..."

"Need not."

Although Kong Shuang didn't know what Luo Xun was going to do, she knew that Luo Xun was not a person who couldn't control his emotions. Now the changes in mood Luo Xun showed were too traceable and seemed suspicious.

"But he's angry!"

Chen Ran frowned, Luo Xun was clearly unhappy and didn't even bother to pretend to smile, but this was exactly what these reporters wanted. The angrier Luo Xun was today, the happier they were!

"Luo Xun..."

Sun Li spoke softly.

She hid her hand under the table and quietly pulled the corner of Luo Xun's clothes. She was afraid that Luo Xun would say something impulsively and leave some bad news to reporters, and he would be passive by then, but Luo Xun didn't seem to notice Sun Li's prompt.

"hehe."

At this time, a reporter laughed: "I heard a lot of rumors in the industry. Some people said that Luo Xun was afraid of too much pressure from the outside world, so he chose a drama with a reputation like "Blood Romance". For a drama, The outside audience has always been very tolerant and will not ask him to be more popular, let alone for ratings. Does Mr. Luo Xun have the idea of ​​using this drama to escape the pressure of ratings? "

"No."

Luo Xun said calmly: "You have made a mistake in a basic logic. The ratings have nothing to do with the type of TV series. As long as it is a good story, it can be a hit regardless of the type. It does not mean that we are giving up on word-of-mouth just because we make the main series. Ratings, I always think this idea is very impetuous.”

"Yeah?"

A reporter from a tabloid asked: "Since Mr. Luo Xun is so confident in "Blood Romance", how many ratings do you think this drama will get after it is broadcast? As far as I know, of all the TV series you have appeared in, there is no The ratings for one movie are low!”

"That's an understatement!"

Luo Xun raised three fingers and sneered softly: "With the quality of "Blood Romance", this drama will definitely have a place in the top three national ratings next year, and this drama will even become my highest-rated drama so far. play!"

The words fell.

The whole place fell silent for a moment.

Kong Sheng's eyes suddenly widened.

Hou Hongliang also suddenly felt a thump in his heart, opened his mouth in disbelief, and then winked at Luo Xun desperately. He didn't expect that Luo Xun would say such a thing, he was just talking without restraint!

"He's crazy!"

Chen Ran backstage was stunned!

Kong Shuang looked deeply at Luo Xun and narrowed his eyes: "He is feeding the tiger with his body, or in other words, he is bleeding to feed the shark. In order to prevent the drama from being negatively affected, in order to take the lead for the first time His voice is no less powerful than others, and he has made himself the target of public criticism. He always pretends to be angry or arrogant, and he maintains extreme calmness in his heart in every word he says..."

As Kong Shuang said.

The reporters in the audience swarmed up like sharks smelling blood in the ocean. The flashlights were flashing crazily. The scene was completely boiling. One reporter seemed afraid that Luo Xun would regret it: "What did Mr. Luo Xun say? Do you mean that "Blood Romance" will definitely enter the top three in ratings next year? Will it also become the highest-rated TV series you have participated in so far?

The reporter's voice was trembling!

In the eyes of the reporters at the scene, Luo Xun was completely irritated. He even spoke without thinking. He dared to say that "Blood Romance" will become the top three classic dramas next year!

Such words!

I don’t say it casually!

In particular, Luo Xun is currently exchanging words with reporters, spitting and nailing his words. What if this drama doesn't do what he said?

No!

It can't be done.

As a serious drama without any big-name actors, it is simply impossible for "Blood Romance" to break into the top three in national ratings of the year!

Talkative.

This is talk!

But this was also Luo Xun's declaration of war against the media. After the verbal quarrel with the media at the scene, he used this method to bring the atmosphere of today's press conference to its peak!

"yes."

Luo Xun said word for word: "The ratings of "Blood Romance" will definitely enter the top three in next year's annual ratings. I, Luo Xun, will never participate in a drama that I don't like just to escape from something. Word of mouth, I want it, the ratings, I want it too!”

"Luo Xun..."

"Luo Xun..."

After saying this, Kong Sheng, Hou Hongliang, Sun Li and others beside Luo Xun all pulled Luo Xun anxiously. Although it was too late to change his words now, there was still a way to remedy the situation. In the worst case, Huanyue would come and stop him. The mouths of these reporters.

But!

If these reporters go back today, the news and public opinion will explode. "Blood Romance" will make a serious appearance, and Luo Xun will become the target of public criticism from now on!

Having said that.

If the goal set by Luo Xun is not very high, and everyone works hard together, we can still achieve it. But what Luo Xun said, the top three in ratings next year, refer to the ratings rankings of TV series over the years, then " "Blood Romance" must have at least an average rating of over 7! ?

Such talk!

Who can catch it!

Hu Jing, Wang Ai, Duan Yihong and other actors were completely stunned. They looked at Luo Xun and couldn't say a word. The reporters on the scene rioted collectively and all stood up from their positions...

"What if you don't make it?"

In the panic, a reporter shouted hysterically, while Luo Xun faced the microphone that was about to be poked into his mouth with a serious expression: "If the final ratings of "Blood Romance" do not enter the top three of the year, I, Luo Xun, will not take any roles for two years. , pay the price for the big words you shouted!”

"no."

Chen Ran couldn't hold it in anymore and said in a deep voice: "I'll talk to these reporters. If this matter is revealed, Luo Xun's image will be greatly affected."

"etc."

Kong Shuang pulled Chen Ran. She was also worried and puzzled, but at this moment she suppressed all her emotions: "Do you think Luo Xun will bet on his own career during this journey?"

"meeting."

Chen Ran nodded seriously.

Kong Shuang: "..."

There is no time to talk today.

But she still held Chen Ran back: "Okay, even if he will bet his career, I can guarantee that he won't do that this time, because he couldn't help but snickered just now, and I saw it. "

"What?"

"Really, he definitely smiled. I was observing his micro-expressions." Kong Shuang said seriously...m.
