Chapter 68 New Drama Preview


Chapter 68 New Drama Preview

"Want to Meet You" is about to premiere. Due to various recent reasons, the show became popular before it was aired, and the Internet is in a state of chaos.

"Looking forward to my brother's new drama, and looking forward to Li Ziwei"

Fans who immediately recognize Xu Kong have been active on various related Weibo and comment sections almost since the filming of the drama began.

"The soundtrack of the drama is indeed very good, and Song Youyou is the heroine, which is quite exciting. However, Xu Kong directed and acted, which makes people worry about the quality of the drama."

These are ordinary netizens who are relatively sane and have always maintained a wait-and-see attitude towards Xu Kong's new drama.

"Xu Kong's drama has been booked as the drama king this year in advance, and I feel like there is currently no worthy opponent!"

This kind of string is obviously meant to cause war, but of course, it's not very clever.

"No, will anyone really watch Xu Kong's drama?"

"Xu Kong is a newcomer, he is a starring role, and he is also a director and screenwriter. Even if the popularity is so high now, he will definitely jump on it when it is aired!"

These dramas have started to be criticized even before they are aired, and the ingredients are more complicated.

Xu Kong has always been a staunch fan. From Xu Kong's debut to now, they almost never miss an opportunity to criticize him.

Of course, there are also some pirates bought by other companies in the industry.

In the past few months, Xu Kong has been in the limelight thanks to the popularity of "Singer".

If it weren't for the jealousy of some colleagues, it would be a bit unjustifiable.

Although Xu Kong checks Weibo every day and reads these various comments, he himself has not been greatly affected.

Various announcements before the broadcast of "Want to See You" are still in progress.

Xu Kong almost had to review the relevant character posters, trailers, and promotional Weibo copy before letting the operators send them out.

At this critical node, as long as the drama is aired normally and smoothly, it will be the best result.

The popularity is already high enough, and we are very reluctant to cause any unnecessary troubles.

"The preview of the new drama is scheduled at three o'clock in the afternoon the day before the broadcast. This is the specific list."

Guo Zihao handed the paper document in his hand to Xu Kong.

"Will there be more fans?"

Xu Kong couldn't help but muttered as he looked at the preview meeting with 500 people.

"Isn't it like this?"

Guo Zihao asked back.

In fact, there is no such thing as a roadshow when a TV series is broadcast. After all, it is not a movie. Even the short and precise web series that have become popular in recent years cannot be watched in one sitting.

But this is indeed not a problem for many film and television companies.

Since there is no road show, let’s hold a symbolic preview meeting in advance.

It's not like watching movies, hoping to win by word of mouth. More often, this method is used in dramas starring some popular stars.

It was a preview session, but most of the people present were loyal fans of the artist, and they preferred the format of a fan meeting.

In addition, even some of the so-called film critics or media present were paid in advance to say hello, and the news released was basically to speak favorably for the show.

"It's not that necessary. It's just for this one show anyway. Please invite more film and television self-media and film critics with more fans."

Xu Kong thought for a while and then spoke.

It's not that he is conceited, but to be honest at the moment, despite the popularity of "Want to See You", except for Xu Kong's own fans, most ordinary passers-by and netizens maintain a negative attitude.

In other words, everyone didn't actually have high expectations for this top-notch director and star in his first drama.

Only Xu Kong himself knows what the quality of the drama will be. Compared with fans who don't have much influence on the Internet, these online influencers can actually achieve the desired effect of this preview meeting.

"I know."

Guo Zihao nodded and agreed.

At the original preview meeting of 500 people, he and Song Youyou had more than 400 fans, which was more than 80%.

Now according to Xu Kong's idea, the fan audience has been reduced to about a hundred. For the rest, try to invite some media or film critics and Internet celebrities. If there are not enough people, use some ordinary passers-by to make up for it.

Entering October, with the National Day holiday approaching, major domestic video websites have released their new drama lists for the fourth quarter of this year.

This has become a traditional performance in recent years. ,

Especially for the two major websites, Kiwi and Penguin Video, in order to grab viewers, they have to compete in almost every aspect.

Strictly speaking, the released film lists are considered the key projects of the website. Most of them are copyrighted dramas that each company has spent a lot of money on, or simply self-made dramas that have been invested and filmed by themselves.

But for Penguin Video, the first one is an account drama like "Want to See You".

The main reason is that this time's account-sharing dramas are very different from those in the past. Most of the current account-sharing dramas on major websites are small productions with millions of dollars, and the actors are all new faces.

For example, the lineup of "Want to Meet You", just Xu Kong and Song Youyou, no longer looks like the configuration of a split-account drama.

Coupled with Xu Kong's recent actions, "Want to See You" has attracted so much attention even before it was officially launched.

"Want to See You" was indeed added on the spur of the moment by Penguin Video.

“It’s almost the end of the year, and everyone is starting to exert their efforts.”

“During the National Day, in addition to fierce competition in the film market, the same is true in TV dramas.”

"As for Kiwi, the one that attracted the most attention in October was "Yan Ruyu". As a costume drama with a heroine that they spent more than 300 million yuan to shoot, the cast is quite luxurious, and they also invited the actress Wen Xiaoxin. Joining it will allow her to step down from the film industry and come to act in online dramas. The salary offered by Qi Guo is estimated to be a terrifying sky-high price.”

"As for Goose, there are not many big productions in October, but "Want to See You" starring Song Youyou, the nation's first love, and Xu Kong, a top-notch screen debut, are still worth looking forward to. , but there are also great uncertainties about the quality of the drama, mainly because in addition to being the male lead in this drama, Xu Kong is also the screenwriter and director."

"In addition, Tudou Video is still following the route of niche dramas. Although the cast of "Zoo Murder" is not strong, it still does not rule out the possibility of becoming a hit. However, it will not be released until now. Judging from the promotional materials and trailers, it’s quite attractive.”

After Yiguo finished writing the copy of his October new drama review recommendations, he reviewed it again and after confirming that there were no major problems, he sent it out immediately.

Then according to his past habits, he started to read his private messages on various platforms.

As a film and television self-media with a total of 50 million fans on the Internet, Yiguo has more than hundreds of business orders in a month.

Although there is a special MCN company to help with the review and screening, Yiguo still goes to see if there is any Party A who has been approached through private messages.

"Wait, is this the official blog of "Want to Meet You"?"

After reading for a while, she stopped when she saw a certain private message.

Then I clicked on the other person's profile picture and took a look. Sure enough, it was from the official Weibo account of the show "Want to Meet You".

"Preview session?"

Yiguo frowned. Most of the time, she didn't accept business orders from film and television companies, mainly because she couldn't guarantee that her film reviews would be absolutely objective and fair.

"I'm sorry, I personally don't accept Party A changing the content of my personal film review"

After hesitating for a while, Yiguo sent it.

This is not the first time she has encountered this kind of preview meeting, but most of the conditions of the film producers are that they need to sign a contract to help them put in a good word, and the copywriting even needs to be reviewed and approved by the other party before it can be sent out.

But not long after, the reply from the official blog of "Want to See You" stunned her.

"We will not interfere with your personal film review content. This invitation is just a preview of the new drama, with no promotion requirements"
