Chapter 162 The newcomer making history!
The old town of Xinhu is particularly lively tonight, and it seems that there are more smiles on people's faces.
Through the bustling crowd, Han Fei took a car to the place he had made an appointment with Director Jiang and the others. It was a high-end hotel.
Arriving on the 16th floor, Han Fei saw the attendant in a suit standing in the aisle as soon as he got out of the elevator. He enthusiastically led Han Fei to the largest box on the 16th floor.
Before entering the door, Han Fei heard bursts of laughter coming from the room. Many people from the crew had already arrived.
Pushing the door open and entering, Han Fei had a smile on his face. He greeted everyone politely and then found a corner seat to sit down.
He doesn't like to be in the limelight, and he doesn't adapt well to the excitement.
Contrary to him, Zhan Lele is like a fish in water in this environment, creating a very good atmosphere and attracting everyone's laughter from time to time. He is worthy of being a professional variety show person.
The actors in the drama "Twin Flowers" have no airs. Needless to say Han Fei, the remaining two actors Zhan Lele and Jin Nian also have good tempers and get along well with the crew. rapport.
At 7:50 in the evening, ten minutes before the film was released, the hotel waiter brought the dining car into the private room, all the drinks and drinks were placed, and the promotion of "Twin Flowers" began to play on the huge projection screen on the wall. piece.
But until then, the guests invited by Director Jiang still hadn't arrived, and the seat next to him was vacant.
"Director, why don't we start first?" The steward walked up to Director Jiang.
"Let me call again and ask." As soon as Director Jiang took out his mobile phone, noisy footsteps came from outside the box.
After a while, the box door was opened, and a middle-aged man who looked to be about the same age as Director Jiang entered the room with a handsome actor.
The middle-aged man was short, fat, and had a big belly. He was very well-dressed, but for some reason, he always gave people an inexplicable greasy feeling.
"Jiang Yi, I'm sorry, I'm a little late." The middle-aged man shook Jiang Yi's hand with a smile: "I have been really busy recently. A drama I filmed before received several nominations, and various I’m constantly being invited to events. I’m very annoyed.”
“Qian Cheng, I watched your new drama, it’s very good.” The director Jiang Yi invited is called Qian Cheng, who is currently the most famous person in the thriller genre. One of the directors.
Although this person does not have any popular works, he wins by quantity. He can basically make no loss on every film, and many companies are willing to cooperate with him.
"Participating in the award ceremony is just a sideshow. The upper limit of the suspense genre is right there. There is no way." The middle-aged man said with a sense of pride. When the suspense market was in an overall downturn, his The ability to break out of the drama is a kind of ability in itself: "This is an actor who just attended the award ceremony with me. His name is Wu Li. We have worked together on several occasions. He is the only actor nominated for Best Newcomer in a suspense film this year. "Please take a seat." Director Jiang did not expect that the other party would bring an actor to watch. It seemed that the director wanted to decline Director Jiang's proposal in this way. He already had an actor he had worked with many times and no other actors were needed.
The middle-aged director talked skillfully with everyone at the wine table, looking at everyone enjoying themselves, but the actor next to him had a hint of boredom in his eyes.
Many popular dramas will book out an entire hotel floor to celebrate, and guests will also have a special emcee to guide them. The crew of "Twin Flowers" let alone the emcee, even booking this large box made the finance team hesitate for a long time. .
Everyone sat down, and the data and heat provided by the network platform began to appear on the projection screen.
A total of 47 new dramas and online movies were released in January, and the resources of the platform are limited. After some of the dramas were launched, they were like a pebble falling into the sea, causing tiny waves, and then returning to the theater again. No news.
In the past, many suspense and horror online movies were like this. Occasionally, those who could hear noises were treated as jokes. Directors and actors with low ratings doubted life together.
On the current suspense movie rating list on online platforms, the top ten are still the classic works from many years ago.
In previous years, the new dramas in January were all about youth love, workplace, fantasy adventure, and various life dramas "fighting" each other. However, this year's January new dramas have a dark horse on the expected list. , those four words suspense and thriller seem out of place in the entire list!
"Twin Flowers" has no hype, and its promotion and distribution costs are far lower than other dramas. It ranks second on the list of new dramas to expect, just behind Wu Wu Entertainment's "Urban Secret Love".
"Jiang Yi, your show is very powerful. I'm afraid my previous first-day broadcast record will be broken by you." Qian Cheng praised Jiang Yi, but he didn't think so in his heart. He didn't know The truth is, in his opinion, as long as the publicity fee is enough, a piece of shit can reach the top, but the subsequent VIP split is the real criterion for testing a drama.
"I remember when "Female Dormitory No. 4" directed by you was released, the VIP demand on the first day was 230,000." Jiang Yi picked up the wine glass.
""Female Dormitory No. 4" is considered a peak for me. I haven't been able to break that record in the past few years." Qian Cheng sighed helplessly: "Suspense and horror is a niche after all, and the ceiling is only so high. You guys The show is very popular, I estimate you can break 300,000.”
"Then let me lend you some good words." Director Jiang glanced at Wu Li, who was sitting next to Qian Cheng. He also wanted to say a few words for Han Fei: "Old Qian, our drama The starring role is particularly powerful and his acting skills are impeccable. If "Twin Flowers" becomes a hit, it can be said that he takes most of the credit. "
"I heard about it. He is a young man with great potential, but he seems to be in a lawsuit with Wuwu Entertainment? Are there rumors that he is going to investigate the contract or something?"
"Rumors? This is definitely a rumor!" Director Jiang was originally ready to ask Han Fei to come over, but He immediately straightened his face after hearing Qian Cheng's words: "Old Qian, have you been in this circle for so long? Can't you tell the difference between these things?"
"Of course I can tell the difference, come on. , drink!" Qian Cheng wanted to be vague, but when he raised his glass, it was eight o'clock.
The first movie "Twin Flowers" starring Han Fei premiered on major online platforms!
The huge projection screen covering the wall plays the movie on the left side, and the right side displays real-time playback data of "Twin Flowers" on major platforms across the entire network.
Just a few seconds passed.
For Qian Cheng, in just the time it took to move the wine glass from the table to his lips, the VIP on-demand volume of "Twin Flowers" has exceeded 10,000!
Countless netizens seem to have been waiting for this moment,
The demand volume started to grow unreasonably, leading the way, sweeping 47 new dramas in the same period!
His eyelids twitched and the fat on his cheeks twitched slightly. Qian Cheng subconsciously drank the wine in the glass.
My throat is burning! My eyes are burning red! Some heartburn!
“Hiss…”
Today’s wine seems to be particularly strong!
The whole box was silent, everyone was staring at the violent increase in the number of on-demand videos.
It broke 30,000 in one minute, 100,000 in six minutes, and in the 19th minute, the number of on-demand views on the entire network exceeded 230,000!
Qian Cheng also looked at the projection screen in confusion. He simply couldn't imagine it.
What I always thought was the upper limit turned out to be just the starting point!
Picking up the tissue on the table, Qian Cheng wiped the sweat from his forehead. He looked around and began to search the entire box for Han Fei.
As a commercial film director, he has already smelled the money.
Half an hour after its release, "Twin Flowers" had more than 300,000 on-demand views across the Internet, while "Secret Love in the City" in second place now only has 200,000 views.
What is even more outrageous is that the growth rate of the on-demand volume of all new dramas is slowing down, and only the growth rate of the on-demand volume of "Twin Flowers" is still accelerating.
Director Jiang initially looked at the list of new suspense and thriller movies on the online platform, but unknowingly the name "Twin Flowers" had appeared on the overall list.
In just one hour, the on-demand views of "Twin Flowers" exceeded 500,000.
Han Fei, who plays two roles, also appeared on the hot search. Last time he used the hot search for his courageous actions, but this time he relied on his acting skills.
The two roles of Meng Changxi and Meng Changan were perfectly restored by him, and every subtle look in his eyes carries his interpretation of the characters.
Netizens were amazed that a comedian who was brave enough to do what was right could play such a complex, morbid, crazy, yet charming character.
On the hot search list, the rankings of Han Fei and "Twin Flowers" continue to rise.
In the private room, Director Jiang's phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID and saw that the person calling him turned out to be a well-known veteran director in China.
In front of Qian Cheng, Director Jiang answered the phone. The director congratulated Director Jiang very politely, and then began to ask about Han Fei's schedule. His latest drama was about criminal psychology, and there was a character with an extremely complex personality in it.
When Director Jiang started to look for Han Fei in the box, the phones of the venue manager and Jinnian also started ringing. There were calls from Jie Long and calls from other companies. In the originally quiet box, It instantly became extremely lively.
"Jinnian! Call Han Fei immediately! Ask him about his intention to sign a contract with our Longyou Culture. Everything is negotiable!"
"Hello, we are I'm from Qian Ding Entertainment. I want to discuss something with Han Fei. He doesn't seem to have signed a contract with another company, right?"
"Lele, is your leading actor here? I heard that he hasn't joined the entertainment company yet? Company.”
"Brother Liu, are you working in "Twin Flowers"? Give your phone to Director Jiang! His phone is always busy!"
The box has become a mess, everyone is looking for it Han Fei, but Han Fei was not in the house.
The night wind blew his hair, and Han Fei, who had left the box early, stood next to the window at the end of the corridor.
He could vaguely hear the ringing of mobile phones in the box, and the name Han Fei was mentioned constantly.
“I should now be qualified to tell everyone that I am an actor, right?”
Looking at the brightly lit city outside the window, Han Fei's eyes finally fell on the window glass.
He silently stared at himself in the glass and recalled all the past.
No one asked me about it in ten years, and I became famous all over the world in one fell swoop! Although I only wrote more than 5,000 words today, I wrote very passionately. Can you please give me a monthly ticket? If not, I will come back at the end of the month
