At the beginning of 2017, Gu Wei and Yang Mi's fairy tale drama "Three Lives, Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" became a hit across the country.

Since its launch in early February, it has successively broken various broadcast records, becoming the first drama in 2017 to truly break through the industry and become a hit.

Affected by the popularity of the TV series, not only the male and female patrons Wei and Yang Mi have become more popular, but also supporting actors such as Dilraba Dilraba, Huang Mengying, Zhang Binbin, Gao Weiya and other Jiaxing artists have varying degrees of fame. improvement.

Until the end of the TV series in early March, Gu Wei went abroad to record "Hua Shao 3", and the aftertaste of "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" has not dissipated. The promotional song "Liangliang" became a hit. The TV station has concluded, but on the Internet The number of views is still growing rapidly.

As of the end of March, the online playback volume of "三生三世" has exceeded 40 billion, leading the second place "Hua Qiangu" by more than 10 billion.

Of course, at this time, several major platforms have put a lot of effort into the broadcast volume of TV series for the sake of performance, popularity and investment.

In addition, many celebrity fans also like to increase the number of views for their idol's dramas. For example, watching one episode counts as one view, watching two episodes will increase the number of views, exiting and reentering will increase the number of views, and watching one episode will increase the number of views. The drama can probably increase the number of views by as many episodes as it can, and some people don’t know how much it will increase after watching the drama.

Therefore, the statistical data seems to be exaggerated.

However, even after being "dehydrated", the current performance of "三生三世" is definitely one of the top dramas in recent years.

At the end of March, while Gu Wei was still having fun in Australia, Mango Channel quietly launched "In the Name of the People", a realistic anti-corruption drama.

Because it was broadcast at the Golden Eagle Private Theater during prime time, and relying on the high traffic of Mango Channel itself, "In the Name of the People" attracted widespread attention as soon as it was broadcast.

Mr. Hou Yong, who came as a guest star, showed textbook acting skills in just two episodes. The scene of eating noodles and becoming famous, and the classic performance of a petty official and a corrupt official directly sent his highlights into the Beijing Film Academy teaching materials, and the audience was also fascinated. Attracted by this huge anti-corruption drama.

[In the Name of the People] only aired one episode on the first day and reached the top of all ratings rankings. The second episode on the second day had a national network rating of 2.3 and a CSM52 metropolitan rating of 2.28. It can be said that it is Drive high and go crazy.

Unlike "Three Lives Three Worlds: Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" which was popular a month ago, although Gu Wei and Yang Mi's costume drama is very popular, the audience is mainly young people and women.

[In the Name of the People], regardless of gender or age group, has attracted widespread attention across the entire society and at all different levels.

As the plot of the drama deepened, the ratings of CSM52 City Network quickly exceeded 5, surpassing the 4.2% rating record set by the 2014 ratings champion "The Legend of Wu Mei Niang".

By the time "In the Name of the People" was aired in mid-April, the TV series' real-time peak ratings on CSM52 City Network exceeded 7, breaking the record of 5.23% set by "The Temptation of Going Home" in 2011.

In addition, this data also set a new record for the highest ratings of provincial satellite TV in the 21st century, creating the highest record in the history of domestic TV dramas in the past ten years.

If "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" is one of those annual hit dramas that can be released once or twice a year, then "In the Name of the People" is definitely the most popular TV series in recent years.

Its popularity and social influence after its broadcast have been rarely matched in the past ten years.

“Director Li, congratulations, the quality of our drama is fully worthy of its current results, and it is all the result of everyone’s hard work.

When the TV series ends in a while, we must invite the entire cast and crew to come out to celebrate."

In the office of [Wei Mingxia] company, Gu Wei was on the phone with Li Lu, the director of [In the Name of the People].

The two chatted for a while, and Gu Wei frowned deeply when he heard Director Li Lu mention something.

"What, there is such a thing, under the bright sky, there are still people who are so lawless.

I have a special security team here. Do you want to send two people there for Teacher Zhou?

Well, help me take care of Teacher Zhou. I hope he will pay more attention to his own safety recently. I would rather believe what he has than what he doesn’t."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Wei sat on the office chair and thought for a while, tapping his fingers on the table.

After a long while, he sighed, he had no good solution.

Director Li just mentioned that with the recent popularity of "In the Name of the People", a stranger called Mr. Zhou Meisen, the screenwriter and promoter of the TV series, and threatened him to be careful when going out, as they might find him in a car accident.

The scale of "In the Name of the People" is too large, and if you are not careful, it will be substituted for real people in reality. The water here is too deep. Even with Gu Wei's current status and reputation, he can protect himself, but he still wants to It's completely impossible to do anything.

However, for celebrities, their own fame is the best protection. Teacher Zhou Meisen is a well-known domestic writer and screenwriter, a member of the 10th National Committee of the Writers Association, and has also passed the 7th "Five One Project" of spiritual civilization construction. Prize, it would take a crazy person to threaten his personal safety at this juncture.

"There was nothing wrong with Mr. Zhou in the original time and space. I guess the other party was just trying to scare him."

Gu Wei could only comfort himself in this way.

After returning from Australia, Gu Wei has been busy working in the company. After he left for a month, there were a lot of things piled up in the company waiting for him to deal with when he came back.

In the first two days after he came back, Gu Wei had already gone to the recording studio to record the demo of "Dance Monkey" and sent it to the "Hua Shao" program team. As for the follow-up promotion, it was entirely up to the program team, so he didn't need to worry about it.

In the afternoon, the company's conference room.

"Mr. Long, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you. We will be a family from now on!" After signing the contract, Gu Wei smiled and shook hands with Long Danni.

From now on, he has officially invested in the other party's newly established [Wow Haw Entertainment], becoming the company's major shareholder accounting for 30% of the shares. At the same time, [Wei Mingxia] has also become a strategic partner of [Wow Haw].

"I will need more care from Mr. Gu in the future!"

Long Danni also recognized Gu Wei very much as a partner. As the former CEO of [Tianyu Media] and a truly powerful figure in the entertainment industry, she clearly knew that Gu Wei and his subsidiary [Wei Mingxia] were currently in the film and television industry. How influential is the industry?

[Wow Haw Entertainment] is newly established. Although she has a wide network of contacts, she cannot guarantee that the company will develop smoothly.

Now that he has Gu Wei's support, he has some guarantee for his career.

"I heard that Mr. Long's new company has just been established, and it will cooperate with Tengxun Video on a new project?"

“Mr. Gu is well-informed, and according to my plan, [Wow Haw Wow] will mainly focus on producing idol development variety shows, similar to Mango Channel’s Super Girl and Fast Boy.

Another one is to cultivate your own youth idol group.

I think there is still a lot of room for development in this area in China, and eventually it can develop into a big company like South Korea's SM that specializes in launching male and female groups! "

Long Danni focused on talent shows and variety shows when she was on Mango Channel. Now that she is out on her own, she naturally wants to do what she is best at.

“Currently, I have reached an agreement with Tengxun Video to cooperate in producing a music idol development program called [Tomorrow’s Son], which is still in the preparation stage.

By the way, Mr. Gu, are you interested in becoming a mentor?

If you can join, then this show will not worry about the popularity at all! "

Long Danni looked at Gu Wei eagerly. Since she was already a shareholder of the company, it was right to help the company's variety show get its first shot.

Gu Wei smiled and waved his hand.

"Mr. Long, it's not that I don't want to help. I'm about to join the team to shoot a TV series, and then there's a movie to be shot with China Film Group. I really don't have time."

After hearing Gu Wei's words, Long Danni looked regretful.

"If you don't have time, Mr. Gu, I have also considered inviting Yang Mi to be the main mentor. Because of the popularity of "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom", she is now at her most popular.

I just don’t know if Yang Mi can agree? "

"Is it appropriate for a music program to have Yang Mi as a mentor?" Gu Wei had some doubts. Although Da Mi Mi's voice is very nice, she can't compliment her when it comes to singing. Even millions of tunes can't save her. An offering of love].

"Don't worry, Mr. Gu. This kind of idol talent show always needs a well-known mentor to attract the audience. We will naturally find other professional mentors." Long Danni naturally knows what Gu Wei thinks.

"Okay, this kind of professional thing naturally depends on professionals like Mr. Long, but don't worry about Yang Mi. I'll say hello to her and it won't be difficult for her to join~"

"Then thank you, Mr. Gu!" Without Gu Wei and Yang Mi, it can be regarded as not taking the big king but the little king, and the effect will not be much different.

The two chatted for a while, and Gu Wei suddenly thought of something.

"Does [Wowji wowji Entertainment] currently only have a few artists from [Xjiu Youth League]?"

"The company has just been established and the recruitment of new trainees has not started yet. There are only a few young people I brought over from Tianyu."

Gu Wei nodded.

"I remember that I participated in the Fuji Xun Starlight Awards at the end of last year, and [X Jiu Youth League] also performed the opening dance. I was deeply impressed by those young guys, especially one named Xiao Zhan, who was very handsome~

Next, I will be filming a modern idol drama, in which several male supporting roles have not yet been decided.

Mr. Long can ask them to come over for an audition. If there are no big problems, several characters including the second male lead can be chosen among the members of [X-9 Youth League]. "

Gu Wei's words made Long Danni's eyes light up. Gu Wei was recognized in the industry as a drama star.

Although the biggest bonus every time goes to the heroine, there are also many outstanding supporting roles.

Not to mention, this year's "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" has become popular among the second female lead Dilraba, the second male lead Gao Weiya, as well as a series of Jiaxing newcomers such as Zhang Binbin and Huang Mengying.

"That's great. I'd like to thank Mr. Gu for his attention on behalf of these young men. When I return to the company, I'll ask them to come over for an audition as soon as possible!"

Gu Wei smiled.

"Mr. Long, you're welcome. We are all members of our own family. We should not let outsiders take advantage of us. If I have the right resources, I will naturally consider my own people."

In fact, there are several male supporting roles, and the main choice is the second male lead.

The original version of [Dear, Beloved] was produced by Juku Media, the same company that Gu Wei produced [Shanshan Is Coming]. The second male lead, Hu Yitian, is an artist under Huace, the parent company of Juku. .

Now that Gu Wei's version is not as cool as a drama, there is no need to look for actors in the original version.

Moreover, the difficulty of performing in an idol drama is very low, so naturally you have to do it yourself.
