Low Key Star

  Chapter 322 [322] The Return of the Great Sage

  After the first broadcast failed to beat the second round, all of a sudden, the ratings that the media swiped two days ago suddenly became unimportant, and no one mentioned it anymore.

  But I had to promote it, so I started to brag about the actors, bragging during the show, bragging during the interview, bragging after the show, the interview, and the report, this one is handsome and the other is filial, how hard this one is on the set, and that one hasn’t slept for many days...

  Mu Yun quickly changed from a starlet whose name was not remembered by many people to a popular niche with positive energy who can see his name in every corner of the Internet at any time. Jing Yuan and Yang Yuxi, who were already well-known, naturally became popular.

  If you only pay attention to the developments in this aspect, or if someone accidentally saw this posture and thought that "Great Wind Song" is more popular than "The Legend of Condor Heroes", who would have thought that the first broadcast would not even beat the second round?

Zhang Yang is quite familiar with this kind of operation. In fact, there has been a similar trend in the circle as early as last year, but this is a necessary process. After everyone hates the defective products of this star-making assembly line and the works they radiate, Fan circles, etc., even when the national level has to re-examine and pay attention to cyberspace supervision, there will be a process of ebb.

   Of course, this does not mean that people who want to make money lying down will sit up on their own initiative, but after the market comes out of its deformity, it is no longer possible to lie down and count money, and more and more "conscience" will eventually emerge.

On the 21st, after several years of disappearance, Fang Shang released her second solo album "Invisible Wings", a total of ten songs, namely: Invisible Wings, Little, Across the Ocean to See You, Courage, I am willing, the lost beauty, fables, encounters, swordsman.

   On the 28th Zhang Yang Yucheng concert, Fang Shang appeared as a guest and sang three songs. The live effect was good, but the album was not very satisfactory.

One week after its release, there were 200,000 copies online and more than 20,000 copies offline. It was not as good as Zhang Yang expected, but everyone else was generally satisfied, especially the continued sales of this album seemed to be very good, and the curve chart was even stronger than Zhang Yang expected. "Small water and long flow" seems to indicate that the cycle of these songs is relatively long.

  There is no doubt that Zhang Yang’s name is signed in the column of composition of the ten songs. In terms of lyrics, he had some “discussions” with Luoshen in order to carve up, and finally threw all the things he didn’t like to Luoshen.

  She has been annoyed recently, because "Sentimental Swordsman Ruthless Sword" has experienced various praises in the initial circle, and now most of them are the voices of ordinary readers, basically... um, they are all scolding.

  The biggest flaw is undoubtedly that Li Xunhuan "gifted" Lin Shiyin to Long Xiaotian, and a series of sad plots were unanimously criticized.

  Luo Shen was disturbed by reading it, but he persuaded her not to read it and she refused to listen. She scolded "these readers are XX" while reading those comments that scolded "the author is XX".

On the 20th, "The Eight Parts of the Dragon" is serialized for the 40th time. According to the experience of previous years, this time should be the finale, but in the last time, Xu Zhu just abandoned it in the Vulture Palace, which made the majority of male compatriots envious. The envious life returned to Shaolin Temple, and Jiumozhi came to Shaolin to provoke. Many people speculated that there should be a "finishing" in Shaolin Temple next time.

On the 20th, the 40th chapter of the series, Zhuang Juxian, the leader of the beggar gang, posted a post to Shaolin to challenge. Besides, Ding Chunqiu, the four villains, Murong Fu, Duan Zhengchun, etc. all gathered in Shaolin. It really looks like the finale The battle is over, but it is over before it starts. While many readers are unanimously criticizing that Zhang Yang is getting shorter and shorter, they are basically convinced that it is not over yet.

On the 27th, the 41st episode was serialized as scheduled. The three brothers Xiao Feng, Xu Zhu, and Duan Yu gathered together for a big battle in Shaolin. They were supposed to watch it heartily, but Duan Yu lost his chain and was trampled under by Murong Fu. It happened to break the chapter again at this time, which naturally provoked a burst of complaints.

  However, the original psychological expectation of most people was that "Tian Long Ba Bu" would also have a 40-episode ending, and the extra chapters felt like "earning money for nothing".

In stark contrast to this itinerary is "Sentimental Swordsman Ruthless Sword". The number of chapters in Gu Long's novel is different from that of Jin Yong. Luoshen sorted it out and serialized it twice a week. However, because she read too many comments that scolded herself, she simply posted I started a Weibo and said I couldn't "write".

Zhang Yang can't figure out Luoshen's specific thoughts, but generally she has the mentality of "playing the world", and she does things very willfully and casually. In addition to writing novels and lyrics, she also opened Weibo and posted a selfie, so she gained a lot A large number of individual fans even proudly took screenshots and sent them to Zhang Yang via WeChat to show off: "It seems that the conversion rate of fans of literary works is low and we need to divide them."

   Zhang Yang replied: "Hehe."

   Then two consecutive pages of bucket pictures.

  Among the readers’ criticisms against her, there were naturally many “fans” who helped to interpret and persuade her, but to no avail, especially after Luoshen posted a blog about going on strike, which aroused more people’s dissatisfaction.

Wang Qiyuan was also taken aback, so he called her specially to persuade her, but after making several battery calls, it still didn't work, so he had to come to Zhang Yang for coordination. After Zhang Yang intervened, there was a result soon, and "Sentimental Swordsman Ruthless Sword" was suspended for a week , that is, twice.

During this week, she finished writing the rest of the content and handed it over to Wang Qiyuan, and then posted a Weibo to explain the matter, and announced at the same time: "The follow-up series of "Sentimental Swordsman Ruthless Sword" will no longer be written, and will not be written in the future." Martial arts novels, which rewrite Xianxia, ​​are only serialized on the Internet and will no longer be published in literary newspapers.

   And announced the name of the novel: Zhu Xian!

  Her casualness and chic made Lin Yiran, Yang Yuting, and Chu Yu all envious, while Zhang Yang could only twitch the corners of his mouth, telling himself not to care about non-human beings.

In another world, the initial development of online novels is inseparable from some elements that seem quite tacky from the mainstream perspective. In this world, due to the follow-up impact of the confrontation between East and West, not only martial arts novels are imprisoned and appear later, but online novels are also in a period of time. Time is affected.

  Besides, due to certain reasons and more stringent supervision, online novels in this world have been in the goal of cleaning the Internet for a period of time, and the situation is similar to that of some www.____.com fill-in-the-blank websites.

  The lack of martial arts soil has also led to a lack of bridges between mythology, supernatural and other fantasy online novels and reality. For a long time, most of the content is campus and foreign themes.

After Shang Gongyu's "time travel" setting became popular, online novels have quickly caught up, and some martial arts novels serialized on the Internet have begun to break through the upper limit of force value, but they have not yet formed a relatively mature setting, and they are still at the beginning. In the process of coming out of the Bronze Age.

  Luo Shen did things quite casually. After announcing this matter, he completely ignored the impact behind it, and started serializing "Zhu Xian" on Hanchuang Literature Network the next day, directly updating five chapters.

  After the fifth chapter was published, it caused a certain amount of attention and waves. Luoshen made a certain rewriting, mainly in terms of language organization and idioms, making it more concise and clear, and deliberately left a few typos.

On September 1st, the first day of school, the finale of "Great Wind Song" had an average audience rating of 1.04, which is quite a good statistic. If it weren't for the second round of "The Legend of Condor Heroes", the audience rating would definitely be even higher if.

  Two days later, the second round of "The Legend of Condor Heroes" also ended with an average rating of 1.32, and "Great Wind Song" lost all face.

Then there will be the third round of broadcasting. This time there is also a TV station that wants to buy an exclusive broadcast, but the other three TV stations bid higher. Zhang Yang is more inclined to make money. After discussion, the four TV stations will each offer 300,000 yuan per episode. The price bought the right to play the third round.

  Another large sum of money came into the account, and Zhang Yang had enough money to buy a set of real estate in Qingcheng and Jingcheng respectively.

On Monday and the 5th after the second round of "Sculpture of the Gods" ended, Yiyang Film and Television held its first plenary meeting two years after its establishment. At the meeting, Zhang Yang, the chairman of the company and the first artist brother, announced the launch of "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji" And the filming of "The White-haired Witch".

   "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji" was directed by Liang Yanfu, and he himself named a special consultant.

The company has borne most of the funds for this drama, and the company's internal artists have also taken several spots. Shen Yi, who has played Huazheng, will play Zhou Zhiruo in this drama. It is considered the most important drama. Zhang Zining and Li Shaoyu Two young actors starred in young Yang Buhui and young Zhang Wuji.

  There are five other trainees in the company, three women and two men. As usual, it is not difficult to fill them all in, but in the drama, places must be reserved for other companies, so as to accumulate personal connections.

  After Zhang Yang considered it, he decided to retain the four roles of Xiao Zhao, Wu Qingying, Song Qingshu, and Wei Bi. The two male trainees each have one role, and the role of the role is quite different. Liang Yanfu will allocate and decide according to the audition performance.

Among the three female trainees, Lin Yue with the highest rating was assigned to "Peerless Two Pride", followed by Wang Zhen was chosen Xiao Zhao, the lowest one was not selected, and Wu Qingying was left for her, but After the meeting, the girl named Chang Xin took the initiative to find Kan Wenxi, saying that she wanted to play Zhu Jiuzhen, and asked if she could change.

   Zhu Jiuzhen and Wu Qingying have two roles. There is no doubt that the former has more roles, but as both "villain" characters, Zhu Jiuzhen has a higher sense of presence and leaves a deeper impression on the audience.

  Actors or stars naturally want to be remembered, but under the circumstances of choice, this kind of impression may not be a good thing for the image of an actor, especially a new actor.

Chang Xin said that she understood everything, but she really wanted to challenge her, and her attitude was firm. After thinking about it, Kan Wenxi asked Zhang Yang for his opinion. Zhang Yang then left the decision to Liang Yanfu. If he thinks he can act, he can act, no Just obey the arrangement.

  Huang Rong's actor Liu Yuxi has been confirmed to star in "The White-haired Witch".

Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min are still looking for actors. Shangguan Qiyu's Gongsun Lue received a very good response. In "Yitian", she offered to play Zhao Min, but Zhang Yang felt that the image was inappropriate, so she was cast in "Peerless Twins". select.

"Peerless Twins" was going to be directed by Qian Mu. He originally thought that he could direct "The White-haired Witch". "Pride", I probably feel that this show also has a fan base, which has an advantage over "White-haired Witch".

The director finally selected for "The White-haired Witch" was named Li Zeyi, who was recommended by Ge Long. Zhang Yang originally just wanted to take a look at it casually, but after looking at his works, he found that they were indeed more suitable than the ones he was watching. , After meeting and chatting again, it was finally confirmed.

  From this point of view, I have to admire the power of money. Yiyang Film and Television has also been recruiting talents, but there are not many people who are truly capable, and even fewer have suitable personalities and talents that are worthy of arrogance.

He had also heard some inspirational stories about someone who was underappreciated, couldn't find investment with a book, and finally met Bole, a counterattack, and so on. There are too many rubbles, and no pearls can be found at all.

In today's society, if a person has been underappreciated for many years and has no name, then the probability of this person being a talented person is much lower than being underappreciated. As for young people who have just entered the society, it is far from being unrecognized for many years. .

In mid-September, Zhang Yang finally "loved the car", and Lin still spent more than 7 million to buy the Phoenix Famous Horse Series. This "Claw Yellow Feidian" is the fifth model of the series, and it is limited to 40 in the world. Nine cars, with an external price starting at 15 million.

  From this perspective, Chu Yu's face is undoubtedly very valuable.

Zhang Yang took Lin Yiran around in the car, and once again deeply experienced what it means to "go from luxury to frugality". After driving this car, he never wanted to drive his second-hand Silver Snake again, and decided to return it to Seagull. Then use the name of Yiyang Film and Television to buy a good car as his business travel car.

  ...Perhaps this is Chu Yu's purpose. Although this Claw Yellow Feidian has a lot of discounts, it has cultivated a luxury car user, and it will definitely give priority to the Phoenix. In the long run, it will not lose money.

   Sure enough, rich people have deep tricks!

  Since he drove a good car, he naturally couldn't go to ordinary places. After another big meal, Zhang Yang was picking his teeth and thinking about life, when he received a call from Wei Xiang.

It has been a long time since the two last met, and it was the Nuwa Award last year. At that time, Wei Xiang had already accepted an animation project, and he should be busy with that project this year. He didn’t communicate much on weekdays, but Zhang Yang was serious about this business. , a kind attitude, and a female director who has the dream of Guoman at the same time, the impression is not bad.

Zhang Yang picked up the phone and exchanged a few words of greeting. Wei Xiang was a little hesitant, as if there was something unspeakable. Zhang Yang had always had his own idea of ​​making animation, and he had done some research. Combined with the current status of the domestic animation industry, he had a certain guess. , did not embarrass Wei Xiang, and took the initiative to ask: "Sister Xiang called suddenly, is there something wrong?"

  Wei Xiang hesitated again, and then said: "It's something...I said it once last year, I took over an animation project, and I've been busy with it all year..."

   Zhang Yang smiled and said, "I remember. Why... isn't it going well?"

   "Um...no money..."

   After speaking, Wei Xiang finally opened his mouth, "If you have enough money, can you lend me some? I will definitely pay you back."

   Zhang Yang originally thought that she wanted to ask him to invest, but he didn't expect to borrow money. He and Lin Yiran looked at each other, and said in a deep thought: "How much is Xiang sister going to borrow?"

"five million."

"enough?"

  Wei Xiang was silent again, "Completing the whole project is definitely not enough, but if you can persist, you will have time to think of other ways."

   Zhang Yang thought for a while and said, "Is it because of the sudden loss of money? Divestment?"

   "Well, the budget is not enough. People find that they need to invest more, so they simply withdraw all the money. If one family withdraws, they all withdraw."

   Zhang Yang thought for a while and said, "I want to take a look, is it convenient?"

  If it was just to borrow money, there was no need for him to go to the studio, and Wei Xiang had a certain understanding of Zhang Yang's character after dealing with him before. Besides, "The Legend of Condor Heroes" was a hit and made a lot of money, she also knew it very well.

Wei Xiang was greatly surprised by the meaning revealed by this sentence, but also felt uneasy, because he was very clear about the situation and future of this project, and the borrowing was just because he was unwilling to borrow money. He was afraid that Zhang Yang would be dragged down, so he hesitated and said: "Of course." , when are you coming?"

   "Are you in the capital? I just finished eating with Yiyi, and I'm free in the afternoon."

   "Well, I'm here now, you can come over anytime."

   "Okay, Yiyi and I are going over now, has Miss Xiang eaten?"

"just ate."

   "Okay, see you later."

  Hung up the phone, Lin still asked: "Do you want to invest?"

  Zhang Yang shook his head: "It may not be necessary to invest. If Sister Xiang thinks this project is very good and has prospects, she should not just borrow money...Go and see first."

  Lin still looked at him suspiciously: "You don't want to do animation again, do you?"

   "Uh... my daughter-in-law is wise and mighty!"

   "Tch!"

  Lin still rolled his eyes, "What do you want to shoot? The Three-Body Problem?"

"no."

   Zhang Yang thought about it, and naturally there was no need to hide it from his wife, and said, "I want to make an animated movie."

   "Shooting what?"

   "The Great Sage is back."
