Chapter 237 New Year’s Drama [Part 2]
Yan Yan Yu Fei, Yo Yo Lu Ming.
When it was dark the next day, Xu Kun was woken up by the ringing of his mobile phone, so he pushed away Jiang Yiyan, who was like an octopus, and dug out his Nokia N70 from under Li Xiaolu's hair.
He squinted one eye and looked at the caller ID, and found that it was a call from a deputy director in Beijing and Taiwan. Xu Kun immediately lost all sleepiness, quickly turned over Huo Siyan, and slipped into the bathroom with his slippers on.
After all the excitement, two of the three women woke up - needless to say, the one who didn't wake up was naturally the loudest, softest and fastest big-mouthed elk.
"Brother Kun?"
Jiang Yiyan turned over and sat up in confusion, but she happened to be face to face with Huo Siyan, who had also turned over and sat up.
Jiang Yiyan showed an undisguised expression of disgust. If she could, she didn't want Li Xiaolu and Huo Siyan to come into contact with Brother Kun again - this was not a Super Girl selection, so why would they still be able to play in the resurrection match after being eliminated!
But she couldn't stop Li Xiaolu at all, and she was worried that the two of them would go behind her back and feed Brother Kun the ecstasy soup, so in the end she could only follow them reluctantly.
Fortunately, Li Xiaolu just wanted to vent her emotions, and Huo Siyan was more concerned about Zhao Baogang's new work, so nothing unpleasant happened that night.
But even so, Jiang Yiyan felt that she was at a loss.
Huo Siyan completely ignored Jiang Yiyan's rejection and got off the ground by the light from the bathroom. As a result, she accidentally stepped on the small umbrella and was so disgusted that she felt sick.
嘁~
I didn't see anything wrong with you when I ate it raw.
Jiang Yiyan cursed in her heart and got off the ground carefully.
"What are you doing?"
Huo Siyan turned to look at her.
"Whatever you do, I will do."
"What am I not going to do?"
"Then I won't do anything."
"If you don't do anything, why do you..."
"Are you going to perform Gulong drama here?"
Xu Kun came out of the bathroom, interrupted the two people's conversation, and then turned on the bedroom light.
"Hmm~"
Li Xiaolu was dazzled by the light, covered it with her arms in a daze, and yelled: "Li Chen, turn off the light!"
Xu Kun: "..."
He picked up a shirt with his toes and threw it over Li Xiaolu's head without caring who it belonged to. The big-mouthed elk grunted twice before falling asleep again.
"What's wrong?"
Huo Siyan saw the confusion on Xu Kun's face and asked nervously: "Isn't it because the ratings are not as good as expected?"
When she said this, Jiang Yiyan also became nervous.
Xu Kun shook his head and said: "The ratings are pretty good, with an average of 3.7%, which is slightly higher than last year when "Zhu Yuanzhang" first aired."
"Then how did you..."
"It's because of something else."
Xu Kun had no intention of explaining in detail. After all, no one except him would be surprised by the 1.8% ratings of "Wulin Gaiden" on the first day [Note: Historically it was 1.9%].
But aside from the surprise, this is actually a good thing for "The Boss" - among the ratings for the same period yesterday, "The Boss" was considered to be the standout.
The discussion of "Ba Zong" on major portal websites remains high.
But reviews are mixed. On the bright side, they mainly praised Xu Kun’s temperament as a boss, and Liu Shishi’s as pale as a chrysanthemum, and her stunning appearance. She also worked tirelessly to educate the audience about the show with news deliberately released by the crew of “The Boss”. How many luxury goods are used in it?
There are all kinds of bad ones, some criticizing it for having incorrect views, some criticizing it for making things up, and some film critics lamented that Xu Kun has degenerated.
Based on Xu Kun's performance in "Zhu Yuanzhang", it is not an exaggeration to play the role of a king, but he turned around and played a local rich man - well, a relatively western style rich man.
But even if you are a relatively western-style rich man, it still lowers your style!
They think that Xu Kun should act in historical dramas, fight hand-to-hand with movie kings and movie kings, and perform masochistic performances...
Amidst all the commotion, the bulldozer plot of the fourth episode arrived as scheduled, which also caused the average ratings on the second day to soar from 3.7% to 4.8%, with the peak reaching 8.6%.
At the same time, "Wulin Gaiden" also increased from 1.8% to 4.0% [original history was 4.2%]. During the same period, the ratings were second only to last year's "Beijing Smoke and Clouds".
Although the ratings of "Wulin Gaiden" dropped by 0.2% due to the siphon effect of "The Boss", this low-cost comedy quickly appeared on the pages of major media, and its ratings have been rising since then. There is a dark horse status that can keep pace with "The Boss".
But it’s just ‘hidden’.
In the early stage, "The Boss" relied on the fresh theme of the domineering president falling in love with me, and the fast pace of two pretense and show off wealth stories every day. It firmly captured the hearts of many Mary Sues, and even won over some people who like to bring yellow hair. Perspective of male spectator.
In the middle period, there were various plots about doting on the wife crazily. Although the number of male viewers decreased, it gained the favor of more female viewers.
This means that even though the ratings of "Wulin Gaiden" during the same period have surpassed last year's CCTV ratings champion "Beijing Yanyun", it was still severely beaten by "Ba Zong".
And because it was promoted as Meng Hao's starting project in "The Overlord", the carrot juice sold out within a few days.
Lao Baigan also hurriedly took advantage of this trend and put out an advertisement on CCTV saying, "Hengshui Lao Baigan, drink to become manly".
Although the audience of "The Boss" does not match the consumer group of Lao Baigan, Xu Kun's masculine image is widely praised by consumers.
In reality, Xu Kun quickly felt the powerful power of this enhanced version of the Ancestor Overlord drama.
On the afternoon of January 9th, he came to Huayi as scheduled to assist in post-production. As a result, the news was spread by unknown sources. In less than half an hour, hundreds of young girls came and surrounded the gate of Huayi.
Shouts of 'Meng Hao, I love you' and 'Xu Kun, I love you' kept coming and going.
Xu Kun had never seen such a battle before, and his first reaction was to come forward and say a few words to appease everyone and let everyone disperse first so as not to affect Huayi's normal work.
As a result, as soon as he went out, it seemed that he had triggered some violent reaction. All the girls were squeezing and rushing forward crazily. The dozen or so security guards sent by Huayi to maintain order could not resist them at all.
Even Xu Kun's murderous gaze could not stop the girls' enthusiasm.
By the time he fled back to the Huayi office building in embarrassment, his suit had turned into a beggar's outfit, half of his sleeves had been torn off, one of his leather shoes was missing, and there were more than a dozen bloody marks on the back of his hands and the back of his neck.
The security guards also lost their armor.
"Mr. Xu!"
The security captain used a tissue to stuff up his nosebleed, and suggested angrily: "You should leave through the back door quickly. I see more and more people gathering outside. If there is a stampede..."
Wang Zhonglei, who rushed after hearing the news, also urged: "Kun'er, hurry up and leave. There are only a few dozen people at the back door now. I'll let the security guards protect you and you can still rush out. If it's too late, it will be too late!"
"Brother Wang, remember to send someone to check in front soon. If anyone is injured, send him to the hospital quickly!"
Xu Kun confessed to Wang Zhonglei and led the security captain and half of the security guards out of the back door.
It started off smoothly. Although the number of fans at the back door was six or seven times that of the security guards, they were all little girls after all. The security guards escorted Xu Kun to the car because of their physical strength.
However, as soon as Xu Kun drove out of the parking space, a girl swooped up from the diagonal and lay directly on the front of the A6.
Fortunately, Xu Kun didn't speed up yet and stepped on the brakes in time, so she wasn't knocked away.
"Brother Meng Hao, I am also a Chinese major, and my surname is Lin. I love you more than Lin Yuxin! Brother Meng Hao, I love you, I love you, I love you!"
Xu Kun felt horrified as he watched the girl climb onto the front of the car on her hands and knees, slamming the front windshield while shouting "I love you" loudly. She didn't even notice that her fingernails were bursting and bleeding.
No wonder the ‘overlords’ in later generations have a bad reputation. These idiot fans are probably at least half of the blame!
