"What kind of TV series is [Eastern Palace]?

It should be a sweet costume drama. You see, I play the role of a prince of the Central Plains Dynasty, and Ziyi is the princess of Xizhou. The plot is naturally a lingering love story between us.

Of course, it incorporates elements such as the fight for the throne, palace fighting, power struggles, revenge, etc.

I remember that Youku Video labeled [Eastern Palace] as "a sweet drama in the world, it's worth it to get into it."

I have been filming for so many years, and the quality of my works is still guaranteed. I believe that the audience friends also know this!"

After the fan meeting, Gu Wei and Meng Ziyi were interviewed by reporters and talked nonsense in front of the camera.

But what he said was not wrong. Youku Video did label [Eastern Palace] as "a sweet drama in the world".

This is also the publicity strategy set by the platform.

These days, if you say it is a cruel drama at the beginning, many people will not watch it. Everyone chases dramas for fun, and no one wants to make themselves unhappy.

It is advertised as a sweet drama, and many viewers who have not read the original novel can get into it. When they really watch a few episodes, they will naturally be attracted by the TV series. Even if the plot is cruel, they will not want to leave. Moreover, the more cruel it is, the more loyal the fans will be.

"But it is said that the ending of the original novel of [Eastern Palace] is not very good?" The reporter is not a fool. He has done work before the interview.

Gu Wei smiled and didn't care: "Novels are novels. It is natural to adapt them to make them into TV series.

I have read the original novel before filming. It is said that the character "Li Chengyin" has always occupied the top three of the Jinjiang novel scumbag list.

To be honest, it is a very challenging role, which is different from the roles I have played before.

But I am confident that the "Li Chengyin" I play will be liked by the audience."

After asking Gu Wei, the reporter turned the topic to Meng Ziyi beside him.

"As the ninth princess of Xizhou, Qu Xiaofeng dares to love and hate, and has a distinct personality. I like this role very much. I feel that it is quite similar to my own personality, so it is relatively easy to play."

"This is not the first time I have worked with Brother Wei. I have acted in his previous dramas [Love O2O] and [You Are My Glory]. It's just that this is the first time I play the heroine in his drama, and I am quite excited.

I hope everyone will like [Eastern Palace] and my Qu Xiaofeng."

When [Eastern Palace] was first broadcast in the original time and space, it was only broadcast as a web drama on the video platform, and the male and female protagonists were all 18-line small stars, which could not bring any fame to the TV series.

It was not until [Eastern Palace] relied on word of mouth to counterattack and its performance was getting better and better that it had the opportunity to be broadcast on TV later.

Now Gu Wei's version is completely different.

After [Sito], director Li Muge has also gained some fame in the industry. Meng Ziyi has been in many popular dramas for many years and is now considered a second-line actress.

Not to mention Gu Wei, the dramas he starred in, whether movies or TV series, are definitely not lacking in popularity.

Today, [Eastern Palace] is broadcast on satellite TV and the Internet at the same time, and countless netizens and fans are paying attention to it, which can be regarded as the focus of everyone's attention.

In an ordinary family in Beijing.

Just after dinner, Wang Qian hurried back to her bedroom and turned on the computer.

Today is the Chinese Valentine's Day, but for Wang Qian who has no boyfriend, it is no different from usual.

The only special thing is that today is the day when [Eastern Palace] starts broadcasting.

She is a sophomore student, currently at home on summer vacation. In addition to studying at school, her biggest interest is to chase dramas.

Gu Wei is one of her favorite stars, because he is not only handsome but also the dramas he starred in are very good.

"I finished watching [The Longest Day in Chang'an] and [The Untamed]. If it weren't for the start of Gu Wei's new drama, there would be nothing to watch in more than half a month." Today is August 7th, and there are still more than 20 days before school starts.

About half an hour before the TV series premiered, Wang Qian clicked on Youku video. The most prominent part of the homepage was the poster of [Eastern Palace]. Gu Wei was handsome and resolute in ancient costume, and Meng Ziyi was beautiful in a red dress in the style of the Western Regions. The two of them stood together and looked like a perfect couple.

[Eastern Palace] has not been updated yet, but there is a video of Gu Wei and Meng Ziyi being interviewed on the platform that was updated in the afternoon.

Wang Qian clicked on it without hesitation.

The interview lasted more than ten minutes. Gu Wei and Meng Ziyi answered some questions from reporters. In the video, the barrage kept floating from the top.

[Is "Eastern Palace" a sweet drama? I'm stupid, Gu Wei, don't lie to me! ]

[Brother's new drama, I'm looking forward to it, it must be very good! ]

[Gu Wei's ancient costume is really handsome. I remember that the first TV series he filmed was "Ancient Sword Qi Tan". I became a fan of him since Baili Tu Su. I would like to call him the No. 1 male god in ancient costume in the domestic entertainment industry! ]

[Sweet dramas are good. I like watching sweet dramas the most. This year's "Sito" is good. I look forward to this "Eastern Palace" creating another glory! ]

[You are so sure. If I hadn't read the novel of "Eastern Palace", I would really believe it. I want to see what the sweet drama in Gu Wei's mouth will be like! ]

[Why did you choose Meng Ziyi to play the heroine? I always feel that she looks average. Nazha and Reba should be better than her in playing Qu Xiaofeng, the ninth princess of Xizhou]

[It's okay. Judging from the styling on the poster, Meng Ziyi's image in the drama is still good. A great beauty! ]

[I remember Meng Ziyi is an artist of "Weiming Tianxia". She was chosen to play the heroine to promote her]

[It's really a blessing to be an artist under Gu Wei in the entertainment industry. The boss is so famous, and he also has the nickname of "domestic entertainment daddy". If you get a good resource, you can become popular quickly! ]

【.】

Wang Qian watched the video while reading the barrage and the comments of netizens below.

She had also read the novel of [Eastern Palace] and knew what the original story was. Let’s put it this way, if the TV series is not too cruel, it would be considered a huge adaptation, not to mention a sweet drama.

However, she listened to Gu Wei’s interview and became more curious about the upcoming [Eastern Palace].

Before she knew it, the time had come, and Wang Qian couldn’t wait to open the first episode of [Eastern Palace].

The TV started with the desert and grassland, with beautiful scenery, and then the ninth princess of Xizhou, Qu Xiaofeng, appeared in a red dress.

“It’s beautiful, the scenery is beautiful, and the people are beautiful too. It’s worthy of Li Muge, who is good at shooting beautiful scenery and beauties.”

[Eastern Palace] is a network and TV broadcast, two episodes a day, and an hour and a half passed quickly. Before she knew it, the two episodes of the previous day were over.

Wang Qian looked at the ending song and subtitles on the computer screen and recalled the plot she had just watched.

In the first two episodes, the hero and heroine both appeared, and because they met by accident, their conversation was very interesting, a bit like a pair of happy enemies.

"The progress and rhythm of this drama are so fast!" She sighed with a sad face.

"It's over. I have to wait another day to watch two more episodes. It feels so uncomfortable to chase the drama."

On the first day of the Qixi Festival, the ratings of [Eastern Palace] on Mango TV quickly exceeded 1, and the CSM ratings reached 1.57, directly winning the first place in the ratings of local satellite TV in the same period.

The online broadcast data is also excellent. Even if only Youku is broadcast on a video platform, the 24-hour playback volume has successfully exceeded 100 million.

Although only two episodes have been aired, the discussion about [Eastern Palace] on the Internet is not low at all.

# [Eastern Palace] is popular on the first day #

# Meng Ziyi's red dress style is praised #

Two entries rushed to the top ten of the hot search list

Since the plot has just begun, most netizens are still discussing the actors' images and the beautiful scenery and costumes in the play, and are looking forward to the next development of the plot.

Soon, a week passed.

The performance of [Eastern Palace] has soared all the way.

The highest ratings of Mango TV in the same period have reached 1.89, and it will not be a problem to exceed 2 in the future.

The broadcast volume of Youku.com has easily exceeded 1.5 billion, and it has firmly occupied the top position of Youku's hot list since the beginning of the broadcast.

The high quality of [Eastern Palace] is one of the reasons for such good results, and there are no good dramas broadcast in the market since August.

At the end of last month, [The Untamed] ended, and the popularity of [The King's Avatar], [Youngsters of the Song Dynasty], and [Little Joy] has gradually passed.

The TV series that aired in the same time slot as "Eastern Palace" are "Shang Dao" (starring Xiang Zuo), "My Neighbor Can't Sleep" (starring Chen Xinyi and Wang Zixin), "The Moon Knows What's in Your Heart" (starring Song Qian and Ou Hao), "Into Your Memory" (starring Song Yanfei and Zhao Zhiwei), etc., which are completely unpopular TV series.

The only one that is a little popular is "The Blazing Military Academy" starring Bai Lu and Xu Kai, which is exclusively broadcast on iQiyi and was launched one day earlier than "Eastern Palace".

However, it is a world of difference compared to "Eastern Palace".

One week after the broadcast of "Eastern Palace", the first major plot officially ended. In the climax, Li Chengyin, played by Gu Wei, killed all the family members of the heroine Qu Xiaofeng, and the two fell into the Forgetful River and lost their previous memories.

The true nature of the sweet drama that was promoted at the beginning was completely exposed.

After this episode was broadcast, the discussion about "Eastern Palace" surged online.

Netizens were so angry that they cursed Li Chengyin as a scumbag and there was no one worse than him.

Many fans of the drama also posted online, threatening to abandon the drama if the crew sends knives again.

However, it is a bit strange that in the first ten episodes of "Eastern Palace", the plot of Li Chengyin and Qu Xiaofeng meeting and falling in love was so sweet that the TV series was rated 6.9 on Douban. When it came to the wedding, Qu Xiaofeng's entire family was wiped out and knives began to be sent. Although netizens scolded it harshly, the rating of "Eastern Palace" did not drop but rose, rising to 7.5 a few days later.

[Here it comes, the peerless sweet drama finally reveals its true face, and Li Chengyin, as a classic scumbag role, really did not disappoint! ]

[Wow! Dear ones, who understands, I was still eating sweets when I watched the episode of Firefly Love two days ago, and I was watching TV for a while. It's only been two days, and it's taken a sharp turn for the worse. The male protagonist killed the female protagonist's family in a blink of an eye. This is too cruel! 】

【Gu Wei, come out, I promise not to beat you to death. This is the sweet drama you mentioned. I felt sorry for Qu Xiaofeng when I watched the episode of extermination of the clan. Li Chengyin is such a dog! 】

【As a senior drama chasing girl (focusing on sweet pet dramas for a hundred years), I believed the lies in the propaganda, so I happily fell into the pit. After watching it, I realized that fairy tales are all lies. I don’t believe in you. You are a bad old man! 】

【Hahaha, I am not surprised at all after reading the original novel. Are you in love? The kind that exterminates your entire clan! 】

【Gu Wei’s role this time is too bad, full of conspiracy and intrigue, a bit of a sweet mouth and a sharp knife feeling. Although it shows that he should like Xiaofeng, it is too fucking to use others to kill Xiaofeng’s family. How to wash it later? 】

【What can be washed? This character is this persona. There is love, but love is never the most important.】

【The East Palace girl reminds you: There are thousands of rules for love, safety is the first rule, love is happy for a while, and the whole family lies on the ground! 】

【Although Li Chengyin is a bitch, this part of the plot makes me want to bite him, but Gu Wei is really handsome, and I like him playing a role that kills the whole family even more. What should I do? 】

【.】

While [East Palace] was on the air, the episode of [Happy Camp] that Gu Wei and Meng Zi liked was also aired, and the episode of [Chinese Restaurant] between them was aired in the following days.

Continuous appearances in variety shows further boosted the performance of "East Palace".

The TV series has entered its second stage.

After jumping into the Wangchuan River, Li Chengyin and Qu Xiaofeng lost their memories of being together.

Xiaofeng was sent to Fengchao to get married, and inevitably met Li Chengyin and became his crown princess.

The two fell in love again, but Xiaofeng recovered her memory first. Looking at Li Chengyin who had forgotten everything, she felt even more heartbroken, unable to love him and unable to hate him.

The ratings of Mango Channel officially exceeded 2 ten days after the TV series was launched, which also marked "East Palace" as the most popular star drama this summer.

On the Internet, Youku's playback volume continues to grow, and the most important thing is that the popularity of "Donggong" is unmatched.

There are countless discussions about the plot on the Internet every day, and related hot searches are happening one after another.

The episode where Li Chengyin wiped out Xiao Feng's entire family saw a surge in discussion, with several plot-related terms hitting the top ten of the search terms.

Beijing.

Under the arrangement of the Youku platform, Gu Wei and Meng Ziyi conducted a building sweeping activity and then launched an online live broadcast promotion.

"Hello everyone, I am Gu Wei, who plays Li Chengyin!"

"Hello everyone, I am Meng Ziyi, who plays Qu Xiaofeng!"

The two held microphones and introduced themselves to the camera.

[Handsome men and pretty women! 】

【The two of them are still very sweet together~】

[I hope the plot in the drama will become sweeter later on! 】

[Brother is so handsome, but your performance in this drama is too irritating. I decided to be a fan of you for a week as punishment! 】

When Gu Wei and Meng Ziyi showed up, the screen in the live broadcast room started to flood with messages from netizens.

"Can you tell me about the first time you two met?" the host off camera began to ask.

The two looked at each other. Gu Wei couldn't remember clearly. Meng Ziyi blinked and said with a smile: "You forgot, I was still studying in the film school at that time. When you release a new song, go to the school and find some juniors to record it." MV"

Gu Wei slapped his forehead: "Yes, I remember it was in 2013. I was recording the MV for [Proud Boy] and went to school to look for actors, and that's when I met this elementary school girl Ziyi!"

Meng Ziyi nodded and said: "Actually, I knew you before this, it's just that you don't know me."

"Yeah?"

"Yes, you are the school idol of our school. I have heard of your name when I entered school, and I have seen you twice on campus. It's just that you don't recognize me." Meng Ziyi turned to look at Gu Wei and picked He raised his eyebrows with a smile in his eyes.

"That's my fault. With such a beautiful woman like Ziyi in front of me, I should have known her earlier."

After Gu Wei finished speaking, Meng Ziyi nodded with satisfaction.

【The two of them are having a good time~】

[Although "East Palace" is a bit sadistic, it also has sweet parts. "I Will Defend You" is still very sweet! 】

[I declare that from today on, I will be the CP leader of "Yi Xin Wei You"! 】

"What do you think is the sweetest and saddest part in the show?"

"Fireflies are the sweetest!" Meng Ziyi said.

"Yes, that part is probably the sweetest. I think the most cruel part is jumping into the Lethe River."

"Some netizens in the comment area said that Xiao Fengwang's husband and Li Chengyin defeated his wife. Do you think it is true?"

"Real!" Meng Ziyi did not hesitate.

"Well, that's right, but the two of them are husband and wife after all. A prosperous husband and a negative wife can be considered as canceling each other out."

"Tell me three words that make you think of the other person?"

Gu Wei turned to look at Meng Ziyi, "Beautiful, cute, and cute."

"What the hell is stupid cute?"

Meng Ziyi complained, and then rolled his eyes, "Destroy your entire clan, you are a scumbag, and you will die alone, haha, these are the comments given to Li Chengyin by netizens."

[Their live broadcast is so interesting! 】

[I feel like the way Sister Meng looks at Gu Wei is different~]

[Gu Wei is actually a bit similar to Li Chengyin, both are scumbags! 】

[This couple is really sweet, this live broadcast looks so cute! ! 】
