Chapter 79
Chapter 79
half year later--
"Famous Sword and Long Song", which has been backlogged for two years, is finally scheduled to be broadcast, and the first episode of "Three Lives" starring Chu Yunchen will be broadcast on the same day and at the same time.
"Is this an open show?"
Chu Yunchen turned pale with shock.
The script and production of "Three Lives" are very good, and it is an excellent TV series with no worries about ratings, but "Famous Sword and Long Song" is even more famous!
The work of a famous director, the leading role and supporting roles are all familiar characters, this is the seed contestant of the annual drama king, but unfortunately, the fate is very ill-fated, after the completion of the filming, the "Ancient Restriction Order" was encountered, and "Time and You" was given away for free on a good schedule. It was not easy After winning the broadcast, the heroine's actor broke out in a cheating scandal, and it has been dragged on until now that it is finally on the air.
"Does "Three Lives" have a chance of winning?"
Chu Yunchen looked at He Bai worriedly: "Which two TV stations are broadcasting "Fate of Three Lives"? And which two are broadcasting "Famous Sword and Long Song"?"
""Three Lives" is co-broadcasted on Tomato Channel and Zhenan Channel, and "Famous Sword and Long Song" is broadcast on Mango Channel and Xijing Channel. In terms of platform audiences alone, the two are evenly matched." He Bai said, "Based on my experience, "Famous The ratings of the first day of "Song of the Sword" will be slightly better than that of "The Fate of Three Lives". "The daytime replay ratings of "The Great Sword and Long Song" will be a little better."
Drama fans feel that the ratings of different TV series are a life-and-death relationship, but to the audience in front of the TV, a TV series is a TV series.
Out of trust in the director, they chose to watch the "Famous Sword and Long Song" at prime time at night.
The first episode, and then when they rerun the next day, they will give priority to "Three Lives" that they missed yesterday.
"If the ratings of "Three Lives" are rising day by day from the next day, it means that our script is more attractive to the audience, and it is very likely that we will finally beat "Famous Sword and Long Song"!"
He Bai said seriously.
Chu Yunchen also clenched his fists: "I hope it will succeed!"
After all, this is his first major production starring in it!
"It will be a success!"
He Bai patted Chu Yunchen on the shoulder: "Believe my vision, the script of "Three Lives" is indeed a hit!"
"Uh-huh!"
……
……
After dinner, before eight o'clock, my aunt had already turned on the large LCD TV in the living room.
The parents of the Chu family and the three female family members of the Mu family were sitting on the sofa in the living room, ready to watch "Three Lives" on Tomato TV.
Mu Qingqing also took out her tablet and mobile phone, ready to scan the webcast data for Chu Yunchen.
But Chu Yunchen came over and said to everyone: "Mom, I want to watch "Famous Sword and Long Song". The filming of "Three Lives" makes me want to vomit after hearing these three words."
"But……"
"Mom! I really want to watch "Famous Sword and Long Song", so you just..."
Chu Yunchen persisted tenaciously.
Everyone had no choice but to follow his wishes and transfer the TV station to Mango TV.
The theme song of "Famous Sword and Long Song" has just finished playing. After an empty scene, an old voice cuts in, introducing the background era of "Famous Sword and Long Song" to the audience: "Since the beginning of the world, good and evil have been incompatible... However, Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are right and wrong..."
"Ha... so boring..."
Mu Qingqing yawned embarrassingly, and said to Chu Yunchen: "Chenchen, are you sure there are people who like to watch such old antiques?"
"An antique?"
Chu Yunchen also felt that the beginning of "Famous Sword and Long Song" was a bit old-fashioned, so he turned around and asked Mu Qingqing: "I think it's okay?"
"What's okay! It's obviously an old-fashioned way!"
Mu Qingqing pouted and said: "You don't need to read, I know that the following plot is definitely about the battle of the righteous way of the devil. The saint of the devil loves the hero of the righteous way. Framed by hypocrites, only their child was left behind... That child must have been abused since he was a child, taught martial arts by a member of the demon sect as he grew up, and later given martial arts secrets by the evil sect who was favored by his father... Finally, a happy ending! "
"Qingqing..."
Chu Yunchen panicked a little.
He was almost selected as the male supporting role in "The Long Song of the Sword", so he was lucky enough to read the script. The plot outline of this drama is more than [-]% similar to Mu Qingqing's casual complaints!
"Chenchen, you look very unhappy?"
Mu Qingqing scratched her hair: "Did I say something wrong?"
"No……"
Chu Yunchen whispered: "You just accidentally told the truth."
"what?!"
Mu Qingqing was shocked, and then said in a low voice: "Could it be that the long paragraph I just said casually is really the plot of "Famous Sword and Long Song"?"
"Probably... seventy percent... yes..."
Chu Yunchen spoke hesitantly.
Mu Qingqing was terrified.
She hugged Chu Yunchen's arm and said, "It's a good thing, Chenchen, that you didn't take part in this TV series! With such an old-fashioned plot and no outstanding actors, it must be ridiculed by the crowd!"
"Qingqing, how can you say such a thing! Director Zhang is a master!"
Chu Yunchen reprimanded him severely.
Mu Qingqing didn't care, picked up her mobile phone and tablet that was playing "Three Lives", and went back to the house.
Chu Yunchen turned his head to look at Mu Tiankuo: "That...do you think..."
"It's old-fashioned, without any highlights." Mu Tiankuo said, "It makes me suspect that it's a TV series from ten years ago."
Mrs. Mu also said: "Xiao Chu, can we change the TV station? The color scheme and the way of acting always make me feel that we are watching a movie from 20 years ago."
"Forehead……"
Chu Yunchen looked at his mother again: "Mom, what do you think..."
"I want to watch "Fate of Three Lives", "Chu's mother said, "I want to know what Chen Chen looks like under the camera."
Chu Yunchen looked at his father and Mu Mingyue again.
Both of them unanimously demanded to switch channels.
In desperation, Chu Yunchen had no choice but to allow the channel to be changed, and everyone watched "Fate of Three Lives" together.
Because it was an extremely familiar plot, as soon as the voice of "Three Lives" came out, Chu Yunchen lowered his head in embarrassment, and took out his mobile phone to check netizens' comments on the two TV series.
As expected, the public has higher expectations for "Famous Sword and Long Song", ranking third on the topic list, and "Three Lives" is No.9.
Clicking into the super chat of "Famous Sword and Long Song", it's full of complaints.
I don’t want to leave my name: #电视剧名剑长歌# No matter how you look at the plot, it feels clichéd...the filming is not good...
Master Lang: #电视剧名剑长歌# The plot is okay, a bit old-fashioned.
Wang Wang who stole the bone: #电视剧名剑长歌# What kind of aesthetics!Brother Peng is so handsome, but he can also shoot earthy flavors!Want to raise money to kill the stylist!
The superchat of "Famous Sword and Long Song" is basically complaining about the old-fashioned plot and procrastinated rhythm. After watching it for a while, Chu Yunchen lost interest, so he clicked on the superchat of "Three Lives".
Yingying Yishuijian: #电视剧三生异##张益# is worthy of being my goddess, her acting skills crush the audience~ Full of girly feeling~ I love you~
I love Chenchen for the rest of my life: #电视剧三生异##楚云晨白烟# It’s been broadcast for a full 10 minutes, why hasn’t Chenchen come out yet, woohoo~
Don’t envy mandarin ducks, don’t envy immortals: #电视剧三生缘# looks better than expected, the appearance is very fairy, the leading role’s acting skills are also good, handsome men and beautiful women, I should be able to catch up~
The tree that goes to bed early: #电视剧三生缘# My mother and I were actually on the same TV series [cover face]
I want to be the cat in your arms: #电视剧三生缘# I like it, this suit fits my taste too! !I just don't know when the male god will appear!
……
Of course, there are not only praises under Chaohua.
Like most Xianxia dramas, "Three Lives" was also accused of being out-of-shape costumes, a so-called ancient style created by pure imagination. The props look good at first glance, but the texture is average and cannot withstand scrutiny. The main characters are all uniform The handsome men and beautiful women, the group performances are basically crooked, and the special effects assigned to the group performances are also very cheap.
Some people even laughed at Zhang Ying, who is a three-time gold actress, but returned to the small screen to shoot TV dramas, which shows that she really can't get along in the film industry.
However, even if it is questioned and abused by professionals, "Three Lives" is after all an ancient costume love fairy tale drama for the majority of TV audiences.
For the audience, if a TV series can achieve a compact plot, a pleasing starring role, and online actors' acting skills, it is absolutely beyond expectations.
At least, the Mu family members and the Chu family couple on the sofa are very satisfied with "Three Lives", the only dissatisfaction is that their baby Chenchen will arrive
Only in the third episode can the first frontal appearance be made.
"Why are there only two episodes a day!"

When the first episode was waiting for the second episode to air, Mrs. Mu complained: "I don't know if there will be a scene of Chenchen in the trailer of the second episode..."
"There should be," Mrs. Chu comforted her in-laws, "I see that the audience scrolling comments below are all looking forward to Chenchen's appearance!"
"Of course, Chenchen is much prettier than that leading actress!"
Mrs. Mu said proudly: "I heard that there is a new AI face-swapping technology that can replace actors' faces with other people's faces. I really want to find someone who can do AI face-swapping to make Chenchen's facial features look better." to the heroine's face."
"I think Zhang Ying looks okay?"
Mu Mingyue was surprised.
Mrs. Mu: "In terms of looks alone, this woman is really good, but her facial features are too thin, and the corners of her eyes are cloudy. She is obviously a scheming white lotus whore, a professional mistress. I hate women with this look the most."
"That's what happened."
Mu Mingyue thought carefully about the mistresses she had met in the social circle, and they all really looked like Zhang Ying.
Mrs. Mu said again: "Chenchen is different. He has a delicate and simple appearance, which makes people like him when he looks at him, and he has no scheming. He is still a prosperous husband...Our family Tiankuo has accumulated virtue in his previous life. Only in this life can I get a peerless daughter-in-law like Chenchen!"
"Mom, if you keep boasting, I won't be able to find Bei."
Chu Yunchen became shy.
Madam Mu patted the back of his hand and said: "Chenchen, what I just said is not a compliment, it's what you already have."
"mom……"
Chu Yunchen blushed even more.
Seeing this, Mu Tiankuo said to his mother: "Mom, Chenchen is going to Paris to participate in Fashion Week tomorrow, and he will leave early in the morning. I think—"
"Know it!"
Madam Mu said with a smile: "Go to bed early, don't tire your wife."
"...How can I go too far!"
Mu Tiankuo smirked, hugged his wife and went upstairs.
……
……
Chu Yunchen did have a pleasant vacation at Paris Fashion Week.
Sitting in the first row of the catwalk with celebrities and tycoons, watching the world's supermodels wearing avant-garde or fairy-like or classic or simple beautiful clothes on the catwalk, if you have fancy clothes, you can directly swipe Mu Tiankuo's black card...
It feels really cool to buy what you want without thinking about the price!
Chu Yunchen thought proudly.
When he returned to China, his suitcase was full of gifts for the Mu family's family members, Chu's parents, He Bai's girlfriend and others. Even his assistant Zhang Lili got a nude pink small killer bag.
Surrounded by everyone, Chu Yunchen, who had returned home with a full load, passed happily through the group of fans who came to pick him up, and walked out of the airport hall. Just as he was about to board the car, more than a dozen reporters rushed out!
"Mr. Chu, what do you think about Mr. Peng Wanxi's statement that 'this audience is not good'?"
"??"
Chu Yunchen was at a loss.
Seeing this, He Bai pushed the reporter away and said, "My artist has been in Paris for the past week to participate in fashion week activities, and he doesn't know anything about what's happening in China! Please make room!"
"Give it! Let it go!"
The assistants also helped to push the reporter.
With everyone's help, Chu Yunchen passed through the noisy crowd and fled back to the car.
After a while, He Bai and others also returned to the nanny's car.
Chu Yunchen hurriedly asked He Bai: "Brother He, what's going on?"
"……Hold on!"
He Bai opened Moments, and after some fiddling, he told Chu Yunchen with a serious expression: "The ratings of "Famous Sword and Long Song" have collapsed."
"what?"
Chu Yunchen was shocked.
"Crash so fast?"
"It's not like in the past. Audiences have countless other choices besides TV dramas. Of course - praise if they look good, and scold them if they look ugly," He Bai said. "It's a pity that Peng Wanxi and the director don't understand this truth. He actually said something like 'this audience is not good'."
"...Fuck!"
Chu Yunchen was stunned.
Did Peng Wanxi take the wrong medicine?
How dare you make an enemy of the audience!
"Now the public opinion is overwhelmingly asking Peng Wanxi to apologize to the audience," He Bai said, "Of course, it will be such a big disturbance, and it has something to do with the rhythm of the peers. After all, shopping malls are like battlefields. Competitors are in trouble. It is already a bodhisattva who can hold back and not make trouble." heart."
"Then what's Peng Wanxi's attitude?"
"So far there is no explanation. His agent made an announcement, saying that he has been retreating to figure out a new role recently. He has been too involved in the drama and has no idea what he is talking about."
He Bai also said: "Now you have a certain reputation, you must be cautious when accepting jobs, and reduce the density of contact with fans, so as not to make too many mistakes."
"But if there's not enough exposure, how do I stay popular?"
Chu Yunchen was confused.
He Bai: "I've already made a plan for you. Starting next year, there will be at most one script, one variety show, and one tour concert every year. The rest of the work... unless it is a good book that is against the sky, otherwise all of them will be rejected. !"
"...Uh... I just took such a small job, how do you make money as my agent?"
"You don't have to worry about me," He Bai said, "I'm the director of Shengshi Entertainment now. There are more than [-] managers in the department, and there are fifty or sixty newly signed artists. After you reduce the work density, I happen to be able to free up my hands to train newcomers... By the way, the company is planning to cooperate with the Penguin Group to hold a large-scale men's team talent show and star-making event, the name is One Hundred and One..."
"One hundred and one boy group?!"
Chu Yunchen gasped.
The [-] men's group was his spiritual pillar in his previous life!
At that time, he was taken care of by Mu Tiankuo, and he sat mournfully in the big villa every day watching various soap operas. Because of his mental breakdown, he often couldn't even remember the TV episodes he watched an hour ago until——
The [-] Boys Team talent show was born!
Watching one hundred and one energetic peers with different styles vying for the few places to debut on the stage, his heart that was silenced by captivity also revived.
From then on, he sat in front of the TV and watched the programs of the [-] Boys Group every day. Whether it was sideshows or live broadcasts, he watched the replays when there was no new content. He watched them over and over again, as if watching them could make him forget. Worry, forget sorrow...
He Bai didn't know that Chu Yunchen had special feelings for [-] Boys Group. Seeing his attitude, he was surprised and thought he didn't like it, so he said, "Don't you like [-]? Then we--"
"No, I like it!"
Chu Yunchen nodded solemnly: "I like to watch the live broadcast of the men's team draft!"
"Live broadcast of the draft! Great idea!"
Inspired by Chu Yunchen, He Bai's eyes shone brightly.
Chu Yunchen didn't expect that his casual words would lead the matter to an unexpected direction. He was a little uneasy, so he could only look down at his phone, and asked by the way, "Is the ratings of "Three Lives" okay?"
"The ratings of "Three Lives" have been very good. It broke one on both channels on the first day, and it is still rising steadily. It is estimated that it will reach the score of breaking two on both channels this weekend. And there are [-] points in the reruns every day. "The ratings of "Famous Sword and Long Song" are just the opposite, because it is a famous director's masterpiece, the ratings broke through [-] on the first day, but it has been declining since the second day. , It dropped to [-] yesterday, and the second day's replay ratings were also very bad, with an average of only [-]..."
"This is too slippery!"
Chu Yunchen was stunned.
"Yeah," He Bai said, "drive high and low, it's no wonder that the entire production crew is in a bad mood. However, the hit rate of the webcast of "Famous Sword and Long Song" is very high, at least [-] million hits a day, but unfortunately the comments are a bit few."
"Then the hit rate of the webcast of "Three Lives"—"
"The click-through rate of the webcast is comparable to that of "Famous Sword and Long Song", but the comments and video barrage below the video are ten times higher than "Famous Sword and Long Song"."
Speaking of this, He Bai deliberately paused, and said, "There are some things that we all see through but don't tell the truth."
"I know what you mean."
……
……
Because of the old-fashioned plot, old-fashioned filming, and old-fashioned style, the ratings of "Famous Sword and Long Song" were not satisfactory. Coupled with the shocking words "the audience wants to apologize to me", the ratings fell again and again, and only by watching His webcast data was also ruthlessly scraped by his peers... At the finale of the TV series, the trending search for "Famous Sword and Long Song Finale" didn't even hit the top, which can be described as miserable.
"Three Lives" here is low and high, and the average ratings at night are [-],
The ratings of the first episode were the lowest in the first round of the show, and the ratings of the finale reached five, making it the well-deserved king of the drama of the year!
Capital is driven by profit.
The ratings of "Three Lives" are so bright, and the remuneration of the main actors is also rising. Not to mention the endorsement, even the salaries of the main supporting actors who rank in the top ten have increased several times. It can be said that everyone has money to earn a There is meat to eat.
Zhang Ying was happy to hold a three-day celebration party, and announced in a high-profile manner that the movie version of "Three Lives" will invite a Hollywood special effects team to produce special effects shots to make up for the lack of [-] cents in special effects left by the "Three Lives" TV series due to insufficient funds.
However, both Chu Yunchen and He Bai are not optimistic about the movie version of "Three Lives".
As a TV series, the plot of "Three Lives" is qualified, full and bloody, but as a movie——
"I bet, 100% of the movies of "Three Lives" hit the market, and it's just me who missed the box office of [-] million."
After the celebration was over, He Bai whispered to Chu Yunchen.
Chu Yunchen also felt that the movie version of "Three Lives" would hit the street, and nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Fortunately, the movie version has nothing to do with me."
"Because I rejected the movie contract for you."
He Bai said earnestly: "When Zhang Ying approached me, she put the film and TV drama contracts on the table. I didn't reply to her right away. I spent three days carefully reading the two versions of the script to confirm the filming of this drama. A TV series is a blockbuster, and it might hit the street when it is made into a movie, and finally rejected Zhang Ying's request for movie cooperation on the grounds that 'Chu Yunchen has no experience in making movies'."
"Zhang Ying has made so many award-winning films, doesn't she know what kind of script is a good one?"
Chu Yunchen was surprised.
He Bai: "I chose her famous scripts for her! As for her own aesthetic ability - after I was forced to resign, she only made movies with directors she worked with, and never took over the scripts of new directors .”
"This is indeed..."
Chu Yunchen looked at He Bai with admiration: "I think the biggest mistake Zhang Ying made in his life was to dump you."
"This is her own choice, no matter what the result is, she should bear it herself."
With that said, He Bai handed Chu Yunchen a script: "This book is good, read it if you have time."
"Okay."
Chu Yunchen took over the script and slowly fell asleep leaning on the car seat.
He Bai looked at the defenseless Chu Yunchen in his sleep, feeling a little complicated.
Perhaps, there is really a will of God in the dark.
……
……
At the finale banquet of "Fireworks in the Day", Chu Yunchen couldn't restrain the excitement in his heart, and toasted the crew one by one, thanking them for their teaching and love for him.
Director Guan saw that Chu Yunchen, a young junior, was so motivated, and he liked him even more, he patted his shoulder and said, "Xiao Chu, with your understanding, you will definitely stand on the podium within three years! "
"Thank you Brother Guan, thank you Sister Li."
"Small mouth is so sweet~"
The director's wife smiled like a flower.
After laughing, Guan Guangping asked Chu Yunchen: "Xiao Chu, tell Uncle the truth, are you really not secretly talking to someone?"
"No……"
Chu Yunchen said shyly.
Seeing this, Sister Li quickly pushed her husband aside and said, "Xiao Chu, don't pay attention to this bastard, he knows nothing!"
"Honey, what do you mean by that! How did I become a bastard who knows nothing?"
Guan Guangping was at a loss.
Sister Li pushed Chu Yunchen behind her, and said, "Young people have their own ideas, how can I talk to you about such a big matter!"
"……Understood!"
Guan Guangping laughed, raised his glass and said to the whole group: "Come, let's wish Xiaochu and his other half happy forever!"
"Brother Guan..."
Chu Yunchen blushed so much that his face could boil water.
Seeing this, everyone in the crew burst out laughing.
"Hahaha!"
