Huayu is free to do as you like

After entering the summer vacation, July in Beijing is already the hottest time of the year.

The sun is high in the sky, the trees on the roadside are yellowed by the hot sun, and the withered leaves rustle in the breeze.

Vehicles are flowing on the road. On both sides of the road, there are workers in work clothes rushing on the road, and there are tourists in casual clothes holding parasols and strolling leisurely.

The rolling heat waves fill the city, and the air is filled with a hot breath.

"No, it's too hot outside, Nan Nan, let's stop shopping and go home.

It's too hot today. If I go on shopping, I will get heatstroke."

A little girl wearing a white hat and a sky blue dress raised her hand to fan the wind, with a worried look on her face.

Next to her is a short-haired girl wearing a white T-shirt and jeans. The two have just walked out of the mall behind them.

"It was your idea to go shopping today. Why can't you do it after just a while?"

The girl in the white hat had a bitter face.

"I didn't expect it to be so hot today. Going out shopping is just asking for trouble.

In this kind of weather, you should stay at home, enjoy the air conditioning, eat snacks and watch TV."

She put her arm around the short-haired girl next to her.

"Let's go to my house. I haven't watched the two episodes of The Untamed updated today.

Let's watch today's update together when we get home."

The short-haired girl shook her head.

"Looking at the hot searches and comments online, The Untamed is very popular recently. Is this drama as good as they say?"

Speaking of this, the girl in the white hat became excited.

"Of course it's good. "Wei Wuxian" and "Lan Wangji" are so good together. Xiao Zhan and Zeng Shunxi are so handsome. They are the chosen actors for the two roles.

I recommended it to you a long time ago. Why don't you watch it?"

"Um, I heard that this is a gay drama. You know I have no interest in this type of drama."

"Ah, believe me, as long as you watch two episodes, you will like it. You will never be disappointed!

Anyway, it's summer vacation and I have nothing to do. I will watch it again from the first episode with you.

Let's go to my house."

As they talked, the two girls waved and got on the taxi.

In early July, [The Untamed] was exclusively broadcast on Tengxun Video.

To be honest, the data of this gay web drama was not very good when it first aired. After all, the leading actors Xiao Zhan and Zeng Shunxi were only small stars outside the third line at that time. Whether it was the number of fans or the national popularity, they were very low.

However, because the producer [Weiming Tianxia] has always had a good cooperative relationship with Tengxun Video, under the company's strong promotion, [The Untamed] received a lot of publicity resources on the Tengxun platform.

Gold will always shine, and good dramas will not be buried as long as they have the opportunity.

A week later, the reputation of "The Untamed" gradually fermented, the online broadcast volume increased rapidly, and various discussions about the TV series became more and more.

Tengxun Video itself also realized that this web drama was popular, and naturally invested more publicity resources.

"Two weeks after the broadcast, the daily broadcast volume of "The Untamed" exceeded 100 million at most, and the total broadcast volume exceeded 1 billion, which is the most popular web drama since the summer season.

What is commendable is that the discussion volume of this drama on the Internet is very high.

It can be seen that all the audiences who have watched it like it very much.

The Douban score also rushed from 5.1 on the first day of broadcast to 7.4. It seems that the score will further increase as the number of ratings increases."

In the office of "Wei Ming Tianxia", Yang Liwen reported to Gu Wei the recent data of "The Untamed".

"This is just the beginning. As the word of mouth spreads, the performance of this drama will be even better." Gu Wei picked up the coffee on the desk in front of him, blew it gently, and took a sip.

No one knows better than him how popular the online drama "The Untamed" will be, which seems to have no big-name stars.

"At the beginning, because Xiao Zhan and Zeng Shunxi were not famous, "The Untamed" could not be sold at a high price, so we signed a tiered profit-sharing contract with Tengxun Video. The better the performance, the higher our income will be."

Unlike other TV series produced by "Wei Ming Tianxia", "The Untamed" has all the small stars from the protagonist to the supporting roles.

Tengxun Video's offer certainly could not satisfy Gu Wei, so they negotiated and signed a tiered profit-sharing contract similar to the first time they sold "Go Princess Go", so that no matter whether it flopped or sold well, both sides would not lose money.

"Copyright income is secondary. I value the fame of Xiao Zhan and Zeng Shunxi more.

What are their recent schedules?"

"Since the broadcast of "The Untamed", the two have been busy promoting it.

There are interviews and activities organized by the platform, and there are also variety shows arranged by the company.

In recent times, with the popularity of the TV series, their exposure has been very high."

Gu Wei nodded.

"After the hit of "The Untamed", the traffic of Xiao Zhan and Zeng Shunxi will have a leap-forward increase. The company must be prepared for the two to become famous, and all personnel must keep up.

In terms of resource contact, online marketing and comment control, compare with the top streamers"

Yang Liwen's eyes widened slightly after hearing this, a little uncertain.

"Boss, it's just an online drama, can it bring out two top streamers?"

The entertainment industry is not big or small, and there are only a few who can be called top streamers, and most of them have debuted for many years.

The most popular person who can be considered a top star is Cai Xukun, who debuted as the center of "Idol Producer" last year. He caught the wave of talent shows in the past two years and became very popular.

However, they only have a small number of die-hard fans. Their popularity is far behind Lu Han, Wu Yifan, Li Yifeng, Yang Yang and others. It is also a question whether they can continue to be popular.

"Of course, there is no doubt about this.

The most important thing now is to arrange the personal teams of Xiao Zhan and Zeng Shunxi. These two people will be the company's two cash cows in the future.

I don't want them to have any black jokes like "singing, dancing, rap, basketball", and they should be careful about their words in the future.

The market is so big, and the emergence of two new traffic stars will definitely have an impact on other wandering stars. If you want to avoid being blackened, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and your team must also be strong."

"Understood, I will arrange personnel to optimize the personal teams of these two people with the highest standards!"

Yang Liwen has always been very convinced of her boss's judgment.

The boss said that Xiao Zhan and Zeng Shunxi can become top stars, which means that the two of them really have this possibility.

As the general manager of [Weiming Tianxia Agency], she knows too well how huge the benefits brought by a top star are.

Especially since these two people were not famous before, the contracts they signed were only slightly better than those of newcomers, and the company's share ratio was relatively high.

After listening to Yang Liwen's report on some recent company events and signing some documents, Gu Wei returned to the editing room to continue to focus on the post-production of "Detective Chinatown 3".

In the afternoon, Gu Wei changed his clothes and came out of the company and got on his black Bentley.

China Film Star International Cinema.

The red carpet outside the cinema was crowded with reporters, audiences and fans, and there were several vertical posters of "Galaxy Tutorial" on the side.

Stars walked on the red carpet from time to time, causing screams from people around.

Today is the premiere of "Galaxy Tutorial" in Beijing.

This film produced by Guangguang, directed by Deng Chao and Yu Baimei, focusing on the topic of education, has been in full swing in the past month.

This is the third film directed by Deng Chao after "Breakup Master" and "Bad Angels".

Unlike the previous two pure comedies, "Galaxy Tutorial" is a drama.

Since the big hit of "Dying to Survive", there is no longer a saying in the industry that feature films cannot sell at the box office.

Some films focusing on sensitive topics are more interesting.

"Dying to Survive" discusses medical treatment, while "Galaxy Tutorial" focuses on education issues.

Starring Deng Chao, even feature films cannot be without comedy elements. Drama + comedy can be said to be the configuration of a hit movie.

In recent years, the summer season has become an important season second only to the Spring Festival season.

In 2016, there was the super IP "Detective Chinatown 2", in 2017, there was "Wolf Warrior 2" that swept the national box office and topped the list, and last year there was "Dying to Survive" which had a double harvest of box office and reputation.

However, since this year's summer season, there has been no outstanding films in the domestic film market.

"Galaxy Tutorial" is a movie that is expected by many parties to make a difference in this year's summer season.

"Deng Chao and Sun Li are here, take a photo!"

"A family of four, so warm!"

"With both sons and daughters, Deng Chao is a winner in life!"

"."

Deng Chao held Sun Li's hand on the red carpet, and the two smiled and waved to the reporters and fans around them from time to time.

His son, wearing a black children's suit, walked in front of the two holding his sister's hand, looking like a little adult, and walked forward without any stage fright in the face of so many people watching.

"Wife, you can look after the two children inside later.

A lot of friends are coming today, I have to greet them."

After the family of four walked the red carpet, took photos at the autograph board, and walked inside, Deng Chao whispered in Sun Li's ear.

"You go and get busy, I'll take care of the children."

Sun Li's support for her husband's career can be said to be 100%.

Her own fame and status is actually not inferior to Deng Chao's. What is commendable is that she has been supporting Deng Chao's career while busy with her own work.

"Chen He and Lu Han are here. The relationship between these people in [Running Man] is really good. But I heard that Deng Chao and his team withdrew from this year's episode. I don't know why."

"Others are fine, but even Deng Chao, the captain, has withdrawn. I feel that [Running Man] has nothing to watch."

"Wang Baoqiang is here too. It is said that he has a new girlfriend. Is it true or not?"

"Look, it's Wu Jing. He has rarely appeared recently. I didn't expect him to come to today's premiere."

There are many stars on the red carpet. Deng Chao has many friends in the industry. With the support of Guangguang, today's premiere can be called star-studded.

Just as the crowd was discussing the stars, a deafening scream came from the beginning of the red carpet.

"Ahhh, Gu Wei, it's Gu Wei!"

"Hubby, I love you, look here!"

"Gu Wei, so handsome!!"

"Brother, look here, ahhh!!"

As a slender figure walked across the red carpet, the surrounding fans and audiences were boiling.

Reporters were no longer stingy with the memory and battery of their cameras, and their flashes kept flashing.

"Oh my god, Gu Wei is here too, wasn't he filming a movie?"

"Yes, I saw on the news that he should be filming in Tokyo, [Detective Chinatown 3], I've been waiting for three years, and it's finally started filming"

"It should be finished, I remember seeing on the news that his movie started filming in May, it's been more than two months."

"Gu Wei has been so low-key these past two months, there's been almost no news about him except for attending Zhang Ruoyun's wedding at the end of last month."

"Of course there is no news about him filming, but he has a drama that will be broadcast next month, and it will probably start to be promoted in a few days."

"What drama, movie or TV series, I haven't heard about it?"

"TV series, it seems to be the "Eastern Palace" that was filmed last year, it hasn't started to be publicly promoted yet, I heard about it from my friends at the TV station."

"Brother, thank you for coming to support today!"

Gu Wei entered the venue, and Deng Chao, as the host, stood near the door to greet him.

"Brother Chao is too polite, it just so happens that I just finished filming a movie and returned to China, and I have been working on post-production these days, so I have time."

"I know, "Detective Chinatown 3", the famous "Detective Chinatown" series, you are filming the third one very slowly, fans and audiences are waiting anxiously.

When is it going to be released, next year's Spring Festival?"

With the size of "Detective Chinatown 3", it is definitely heading for a box office of more than 4 billion, after all, the second part has already taken 3.9 billion.

At present, the domestic schedule is only suitable for such a hot movie during the summer vacation and Spring Festival.

"Haha, let's see. We won't consider the release until the post-production is finished.

Everyone has high expectations for the third film in this series, and we will definitely choose a suitable time slot." It is definitely impossible to release it during the Spring Festival next year. By then, let alone [Detective Chinatown 3], no movie will be released.

Gu Wei is more convinced of the Spring Festival next year, which is the 2021 year. There will be a wave of revenge viewing at that time, which is the best time to get a high box office.

"I heard that Brother Chao left [Running Man]?" After chatting for a while, Gu Wei mentioned [Running Man].

"You heard what Reba said.

Indeed, because of some things in the last season, there was a little conflict with the program team.

I feel that the revision is different from the beginning, and it is becoming more and more restrained.

But recently, Tengxun found me and planned to start a new outdoor variety show. We can decide many things ourselves.

Are you interested in playing together?" Deng Chao looked at Gu Wei and invited him.

"Is it similar to [Running Man] or [Go Fighting]?"

"It's almost like that. It's a travel outdoor reality show~"

"My schedule is too full. I have several dramas waiting to be filmed. There are also a lot of things to do at the company. I don't think I have the time to be a permanent resident. It's okay to go to one or two episodes occasionally as a flying guest."

"Okay, then it's settled. When the program is set, I'll ask you to be a flying guest. Don't refuse!" Deng Chao raised his eyebrows and patted Gu Wei's shoulder with a smile.

"Don't worry, it's just for fun~" Gu Wei knew that Deng Chao's new variety show should be [Wu Ha]. He had watched a few episodes in the original time and space and felt it was pretty good.

"There are a lot of people coming to support us today. Don't just greet me. Go and get busy~"

"Okay, I'll get busy. Chen He, Xiao Lu and others are here too. You can chat with them."

Deng Chao nodded to Gu Wei and turned to walk away.
