Huayu is free to do as you like

At night, in the hotel room.

Gu Wei was sitting in front of his laptop, reading emails from the company and dealing with some work matters, when the doorbell in his room suddenly rang.

He glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the screen and found that it was almost 19:30, so he knew that Zhou Xi should be here.

Sure enough, Gu Wei got up and opened the door, and Zhou Ming stood outside the door looking pretty in a little white dress.

She put her arms across her chest, holding a pile of snacks, her black hair cascading down her shoulders, her fair face with delicate features, and she smiled sweetly when she saw Gu Wei open the door.

"You have brought so much food. Are you not afraid of gaining weight if you eat snacks at night?"

Gu Wei said and let her in.

"Anyway, the filming is about to be completed. I don't know when the next movie will be. If you are fat, you will be fat."

"Haha~

Although I never interfere in the specific affairs of the brokerage company, judging from the company's past arrangements, you will not be idle in the future.

Your current agent should still be Mr. Yang, right? "

Walking to the living room, Zhou Ming scattered the snacks he was holding on the sofa.

"Yes, it's Mr. Yang. She was the first to sign me into the company."

"Yang Liwen is responsible for the specific affairs of the brokerage company, and she has formed a specific process for bringing in new people.

First of all, arrange some supporting roles in film and television dramas, the third or second female, it is best if they can appear in popular dramas.

After you become familiar and have some fan base, you can then arrange the protagonist of a low-cost idol drama. At the same time, the company will also conduct marketing based on the artist's personal characteristics.

With such a set of procedures, if you are lucky, it will not be difficult to achieve a third- or fourth-tier reputation.

If a character or TV series becomes a hit, it is possible to become a second-tier star."

"Am I at the stage of getting familiar with each other now?" Zhou Ming sat on the sofa and looked at Gu Wei with his big eyes.

“Actually, you can refer to Meng Ziyi’s popularity process in the company.

Like you, she also signed a contract with the company when she was a student at Beijing Film Academy, and it was always under Mr. Yang's name at first.

In the past two years, because of her studies, the company arranged for her to play supporting roles in TV series.

Like the school beauty in "A Little Smile Is Allure", and the role of my ex-girlfriend in "You Are My Glory".

Ziyi is relatively lucky. Although these two roles are soy sauce, the drama was a hit, so they left some impressions on the audience.

Later, the company was preparing to film "The Legend of Chu Qiao", and the female character Chun she played completely made her popular.

Coupled with her outstanding performance in "Flower Flower 3", even though she has not played the leading female role in a film or television drama, her popularity is already as popular as that of the more popular second-tier stars in the industry."

Gu Wei said and sat down, picked up the remote control and turned on the TV.

"I know this, I have a good relationship with Sister Ziyi.

So the movie "East Palace" that the company is preparing for the second half of the year is to praise her! Right? "

"Almost~

In fact, even if there are no dramas produced by the company itself, Meng Ziyi has begun to receive female protagonist roles one after another.

At the beginning of the year, there was a costume drama "Beauty Without Borders" produced by Youku, and she was cast to play the heroine.

After all, the fame has arrived, and with the support of the company, from now on we will be the new generation of little flowers born in 1995."

The two of them were chatting, and the opening song of "Sweet Honey Ashes Like Frost" played on the TV.

This drama is broadcast exclusively on Lychee Channel, starting at 19:35 every night, with two consecutive episodes. On the Internet, iQiyi, Youku, and Tengxun broadcast it at the same time.

[Xiangmi] has very high ratings, online views, and discussions. It can be said to be the most popular TV series in China since August.

Although "Story of Yanxi Palace", which became a hit last month, is also a hit, its performance in all aspects is not as good as "Xiangmi".

Mainly because "Story of Yanxi Palace" is currently only available for online broadcast and has not yet been released on TV stations.

According to Gu Wei's understanding, this drama is based on the Internet-first backstage model. After it was aired on iQiyi, word-of-mouth popularity was very high, and it is planned to be broadcast on Blueberry Channel in September.

One is a star and the other is not. It is normal that "Story of Yanxi Palace" cannot beat "Xiangmi" in terms of popularity.

It was not the first time for Gu Wei to watch this drama. He had watched it after the editing of the TV series was completed, but it was for work at that time. He probably watched the final effect of the ancient puppet fairy drama produced by the company, so as to sell the copyright. .

Looking at it now with a relaxed mind, it feels different.

Zhou Ming stared at the TV screen, opened a bag of potato chips, and handed Gu Wei a bag of shrimp crackers.

The two of them ate and watched, and from time to time they would discuss a few words about the plot and the actors' acting skills.

"Sister Yang Zi's performance is really good. She perfectly interprets Jin Mi's innocent and innocent character. I, a girl, liked it after watching it."

Zhou Ming threw a potato chip into his mouth and spoke while eating, his words a little unclear.

At this time, the male protagonist Feng Xu appeared on the TV.

"Brother Xian is also very handsome, and he has no choice in terms of acting skills, but I always feel that he is a little inferior in ancient costumes." As she said this, she turned to look at Gu Wei beside her, whose handsome profile was close to the ruler. It made her heart skip a beat.

"I don't know if it's due to the influence of [Dear Love], but I always feel that it would be more suitable for you to play Feng Xu if it were Brother Wei."

“I don’t have time. When [Xiangmi] was launched, I was filming [Wolf Warrior 2]. After finishing filming, I joined the crew of [You Are My Glory].

Unless it's a drama, otherwise." Gu Wei shook his head.

The two chatted, and today's first episode ended quickly.

There was an advertisement playing on the TV. Zhou Ming yawned and leaned back on the sofa.

At the beginning of the second episode, Zhou Ye, who had finished a bag of potato chips, was about to reach out to get something else to eat.

She glanced at Gu Wei beside her and found that his attention was focused on the TV opposite, and she had some small ideas in her mind.

Instead of taking snacks, she slowly turned her body, crossed one leg on the sofa, and leaned against Gu Wei next to her.

Seeing that Gu Wei did not respond, she simply hugged one of his arms boldly, and then reached out to take shrimp strips from the snack bag in Gu Wei's hand to eat.

With such a big person leaning on her, Gu Wei certainly felt something, turned his head and looked at her, and Zhou Ye responded with a sweet smile.

Gu Wei touched her head with his other hand, didn't care too much, and continued to watch TV.

The end of the second episode.

Zhou Ye reluctantly let go of the hand holding Gu Wei's arm, straightened up, and stretched a big lazy waist.

"It's late, go back and rest.

Although you are about to wrap up, you still have a few final scenes tomorrow."

Zhou Ye hesitated a little, but still nodded and said goodbye to Gu Wei with a smile.

"Then I'll come again tomorrow night

Good night~Brother Wei"

"Good night~"

Gu Wei sent Zhou Ye out of the room, looked at her jumping back and shook his head slightly.

The premiere of "Ashes of Love" on August 2 can be said to have started high and run wild.

Lizhi TV was the only one to broadcast it, and the ratings on the first day of the premiere easily exceeded 1, becoming the first in the ratings of TV series in the same time period.

In the later period, as the series was broadcast, the ratings were gradually increasing.

Lizhi TV was able to fight for a breath this time.

In the past, Mango TV and Blueberry TV competed for the ratings champion. This time, Lizhi TV, which spent a lot of money to buy the first round of exclusive broadcast rights of "Ashes of Love", finally experienced the feeling of broadcasting a hit drama.

In the same time period, Mango TV broadcast Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong's love story "Sweet Strike", Blueberry TV broadcast Yang Mi and Ruan Jingtian's "Legend of Fuyao", Beijing Satellite TV broadcast the TV series "Partners", and CCTV-8 broadcast the suspense crime drama "Execution Sword".

The CSM52 ratings of these TV series are all below 1, far lower than "Ashes of Love".

In terms of the Internet, on the first day of the launch of "Ashes of Love", the total network playback volume exceeded 100 million in 12 hours and 200 million in 24 hours, breaking the playback record of "Story of Yanxi Palace".

A week after the release, the daily network playback volume of "Ashes of Love" increased to 300 million, and exceeded 300 million for 8 consecutive days, firmly occupying the network daily broadcast champion.

As of August 18, the total network playback volume of the TV series has successfully exceeded the 4 billion mark, reaching 4.69 billion.

There are actually quite a few popular TV series that are optimistic about this summer season.

On August 2, after "Ashes of Love" was launched

On the 7th, "Martial Universe", starring Yang Yang and Li Qin, adapted from a popular novel, was launched on Dragon TV and Youku Video.

On the 14th, "The Rise of Phoenixes", starring Ni Ni and Chen Kun, was launched on the Golden Eagle Theater of Mango TV.

On the 20th, the historical costume drama "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace", starring Zhou Xun and Huo Jianhua, was broadcast on Tengxun Video.

However, these TV series with big IP, big production and big stars are not satisfactory in terms of ratings, online broadcast volume and popularity.

The performance in all aspects is far inferior to the popular "Ashes of Love".

It can be said that this summer, there are only one and a half real hits in TV series, one is "Ashes of Love" and the other half is "Story of Yanxi Palace".

At 19:30 in the evening again, the news broadcast ended, and Zhang Qiaoyun couldn't wait to turn the TV to Lizhi Channel.

She is a sophomore student at Beijing University of Science and Technology and is currently at home during the summer vacation.

At the beginning of the year, she fell in love with Yang Zi, who played Tong Nian, because of the TV series "Go Go Squid!". When "Ashes of Love" was released, she started watching it as soon as it was released, and she couldn't stop watching it.

Every night, she was by the TV on time, waiting to watch those two episodes.

According to Zhang Qiaoyun's family's living habits, her parents would watch Focus Interview after watching the news broadcast in the evening. Now, because she wants to watch the show, they gave her the time after 7:30.

When you are absorbed in watching a show, time always flies very fast. After a while, today's two episodes were played.

Zhang Qiaoyun was a little reluctant to leave, so she took out her pad and logged into Weibo.

The Weibo super topic of "Ashes of Love" is very lively. Since the TV series was released, there have been nearly 10,000 posts and more than 500 million views.

[I really love Yang Zi. Tong Nian in "Go Go Squid!" is very cute, and Jin Mi is even more positive and optimistic. The acting is really great! ]

[It is a costume fairy drama with great plot and special effects. The actors' acting skills are also very good, great! ]

[I am afraid I am obsessed! I actually gave full marks to the domestic immortal cultivation, it's so sweet, for the first time in my life I'm addicted to the main character CP! The special effects are also visible to the naked eye. Please update 10 episodes a day, thank you! 】

【I read this novel several times back then and liked it very much. At present, it basically restores the original, and the details added are reasonable and interesting.

It's just that the progress is very fast, but it is said that there are many episodes. I hope it can hold in the later stage and not give too many dramas to the side lines】

【I like the Fenghuang played by Li Xian very much. He and Yang Zi have a very strong CP feeling, very sweet!

But Zhu Yilong's Runyu is also very handsome, and he doesn't hate the second male at all, but rather feels a little distressed. What should I do, how should I choose? 】

【Only children make choices, adults of course want them all! Haha, just kidding, of course I choose Yang Zi and Li Xian, after all, Jin Mi and Xu Feng are really sweet! 】

【.】

The popularity of [Ashes of Love] directly brought great popularity to the leading actors Yang Zi, Li Xian and the popular male second Zhu Yilong.

Yang Zi had already become a top female star born in the 1990s because of [Go Go Squid!] at the beginning of the year, and now the popular [Ashes of Love] has completely consolidated her popularity.

Her popularity was once on par with Yang Mi, Zhao Liying and other 85 flowers.

After Li Xian became popular because of [Princess Agents], his popularity also went up a level and he was officially promoted to a top male star.

Zhu Yilong was also the same. A [Soul Land] made him go from obscurity to fame, but that drama was a gay drama after all, and it was not up to standard.

Now, the male second Runyu in [Ashes of Love] has not only given him a representative work that has been broadcast on TV, but also gained more love from the audience, which can be said to be an unexpected surprise.

".I have to treat you this time.

Okay, I'll check the time and let you know when I'm free. I'll prepare good food and good wine.

I have to feel your sincerity."

In the crew of [Better Days], Gu Wei received a call from Yang Zi during a break in filming. The two chatted for a while. He congratulated the other party on the success of the TV series, and Yang Zi thanked him instead.

"Is it Sister Yang Zi?" Gu Wei hung up the phone, and Zhou Ye asked on the side.

"Yes, she and Li Xian are attending a fan meeting organized by Teng Xun in Tianjin.

She said she would treat me to dinner when she has time."

Zhou Ye looked envious.

"This year is Sister Zi's lucky year. She has two hit TV series in a row. How many female stars in the circle envy her."

After saying that, she looked at Gu Wei opposite.

Zhou Ye knew very well what the fundamental reason for Yang Zi's current popularity was.

[Dear, Beloved] was completely brought up by Gu Wei. The current [Ashes of Love] is also produced by [Wei Ming Tianxia], and Gu Wei appointed Yang Zi to star in it.

Therefore, Yang Zi is so popular now, all thanks to Gu Wei's support.

'The boss is the only one in the entertainment industry who is so loyal and friendly. It's really popular to be his friend.'

Zhou Ye is very clear about the relationship between Gu Wei, Li Xian, Yang Zi, Zhang Yishan and others, and also knows what opportunities Gu Wei gives to others.

"Yang Zi debuted as a child star, and has accumulated a good audience popularity over the years. In addition, she has good acting skills. It's a matter of time before she becomes famous."

Gu Wei said with a smile.

"Dear, Beloved" and "Ashes of Love" are Yang Zi's representative works. It can be said that Yang Zi has played a big role in the popularity of the two TV series.

Tianjin.

After hanging up the phone with Gu Wei, Yang Zi was full of smiles.

Just as Zhou Ye said, this year is her lucky year. Two consecutive hit TV series have made Yang Zi taste the taste of being famous.

Of course, she knew who brought her all this, and she was more grateful to Gu Wei as a friend.

"Why are you standing there? Let's go, the interview is about to start."

Li Xian came over to greet her.

"I just called Gu Wei. Let's get together when we are free. I have to thank him."

Li Xian smiled.

"It's right. I remember when we were preparing to shoot "Ashes of Love", Gu Wei directly decided that you would be the lead actor.

Now he probably felt that this drama would be a big hit."
