Chapter 205 The Blockbuster Era of TV Series
In his blog, Chen Linfeng often advises his fan base not to be too blind, and hopes that they will like the work rather than the specific person.
So far, it has had little effect. Even after saying this, those female fans went crazy even more.
What kind of fairy idol is this? He cares about us too much. We must be fans of him.
Fortunately, Chen Linfeng has a large number of fans, especially the main book fans who are generally more sensible.
So far, there have been no particularly extreme cases of fans.
Think about it, if someone who is an extreme fan of Andy Lau appears, it will really be a headache for anyone.
In the following days, Pepsi's new advertisements were officially launched in various channels.
These videos can be seen on almost all important TV stations and websites.
In the advertisement, Liu Qianqian is wearing a white princess dress, looking both innocent and fairy-like.
Chen Linfeng and other celebrities wore various blue uniforms. Although in his own opinion, it was a bit embarrassing, it was in line with the current public aesthetics, and netizens spoke highly of it.
Xie Tingfeng, Louis Koo, and Chen Linfeng are all handsome in their own way. Even Jay Chou is at the peak of his appearance, and fans also admire his looks.
Anyway, this video of a beautiful man and a beautiful woman has attracted many comments.
The fans of these celebrities are ready to support their brothers and sisters.
After the offline distribution of Pepsi products, the Coca-Cola with the images of Zhou, Xie, Chen and Liu sold best, which shows that Pepsi is really good at market research.
With such achievements as a backdrop, Chen Linfeng's business expenses have increased significantly. Because he is more selective in endorsements, the number is not large.
So the price in this area is somewhat premium in comparison.
Now just judging from the bidding prices of various brands, he has surpassed the level of TV series and can compare with the prices of first-line movie stars.
Up above, there are almost the so-called international superstars.
Stars in the industry have no objections to Chen Linfeng getting the Pepsi spokesperson, and of course they don’t dare to have objections. The class gap between directors and actors is still obvious.
Moreover, Chen Linfeng developed step by step, emerging from around 1998. Although he has just reached adulthood, others think this is a very steady improvement rate.
However, some people have serious opinions about Liu Qianqian.
This is the first one in the Mainland, which means that it is recognized by Pepsi as the most popular in the Mainland.
When it comes to beauty, there is no one who can compete with her. Fan Binbin, Chen Hao, Dong Jie, etc. cannot be said to be worse than her.
But these people have all gone through hardships and fought hard to reach their current status. Some even suffered sacrifices that are unspeakable for female stars before they finally rose to the top.
Who is like Liu Qianqian, whose good luck seems to be free of money.
I used to rely on my family to make people jealous, but now that I am in school, I can become a close friend with Director Xiao Chen.
In the foreseeable future, maybe we can rely on Chen Linfeng to continue to have smooth sailing.
Look at director Xiao Chen's recent films "The Tang Dynasty" and "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", both of which are playing with Liu Qianqian.
Why, how good is she?
This person is just like playing the minimalist VIP mode of Earth Online. He can play as much as he wants, and the female celebrities are going crazy with jealousy.
However, fortunately, we experienced the cyber troll incident the year before last. Now the official attention is relatively tight on this aspect. No one dares to commit crimes and engage in large-scale cyber trolls.
However, there are many rumors circulating in the industry, and Sister Mei has heard relevant rumors.
It is said that Liu Qianqian took advantage of the fact that director Ren Xiaochen had few contacts with girls and used unfair means to confuse minors.
When Chen Linfeng heard what Sister Mei said, he almost burst into laughter, "What is this and what?"
As for Liu Qianqian's method, apart from getting closer and playing a staring game of whoever blinks first, who loses, what else can she do?
Sister Mei did not find it funny at all, but said seriously, "If such words can reach my ears, it means that someone is indeed dissatisfied with Liu Qianqian. You have always been a victim in these rumors. That is mainly The target is Xiang Qianqian.”
Chen Linfeng calmly thought about it, and indeed, the target was still very obvious.
But there is nothing he can do to help at this level. Every actress who wants to reach the top will go through this step.
The four great beauties all came here like this, and the Shuangbing who are about to come up in recent years also have this experience, including Liu Qianqian.
Moreover, her rise is too fast, and she is young, so she will experience more and fiercer things.
Sister Mei knows this. After all, this is other people's business.
She just couldn't help but sigh.
The way Xiaofeng went from being a writer to a screenwriter, then an actor, and a director, it really felt like it was planned.
Because it is so steady step by step, even if it is so popular now, it must have taken away some people’s cakes, but there are not many slanderous voices in the industry.
Immediately afterwards, Sister Mei told me the icing on the cake.
"The superiors are going to hold a seminar on "The Empire of the Tang Dynasty" and I have asked you to participate."
"When?"
"It will be next Monday."< br>
Fortunately, today is already Wednesday, and there are only a few days left, so it will not affect the subsequent power-on ceremony.
What Sister Mei didn't say was that this was communicated in advance. Knowing that Xiao Chen would be filming a new drama in a while, she deliberately adjusted the time and held the seminar in advance.
In the evening, Liu Qianqian called and mentioned what Chen Linfeng and Sister Mei had discussed during the day.
There was not much nervousness or sadness in her words, which was completely different from her previous reaction when she was bullied online.
I just kept complaining on the phone about the gossip circulating this time.
“Why do you say it as if I’m trying to seduce you? I’ve never heard of it being said the other way around. There are all kinds of things that shouldn’t be said normally.”
"Yes, why? Should someone reflect on whether he has behaved inappropriately in the past and been seen by others?"
"Chen Linfeng!" Liu Qianqian said in embarrassment. , "You are the one who should reflect, you..."
Not proactive at all.
How could a girl do such a thing? Now that it is being spread like this, the culprit is the person who did nothing. "Okay, no more joking."
Chen Linfeng told Liu Qianqian the current situation she was facing.
"Although it is a necessary stage, it will still be uncomfortable to be ignored by others all the time. Just prepare yourself mentally."
Liu Qianqian doesn’t know if it’s because she’s arrogant or something else. The reason was that there was not much reaction, he just said "I know".
Is this the end?
Chen Linfeng couldn't figure out what the other person was thinking for a while, so he didn't continue to pursue this topic.
Then I talked to the other party about some mental preparations that need to be made as an actor before joining the group.
“The heroine is a big star, which is consistent with your current status, but you have to pay attention to the fact that the character of this character is completely different from your own character, or the character shown in previous works. It’s different.
You need to learn how to exaggerate. It’s best to watch drama performances and be as outspoken as possible...”
“Okay, I get it. , you have said it several times, and I have been paying attention to it recently."
Liu Qianqian seemed a little impatient for some reason.
The two didn't chat for long before they ended the call.
Liu Qianqian threw the phone aside and realized that something was wrong with her emotions.
She knew that she was still affected by those rumors.
It’s not that she took the initiative to seduce him as mentioned in the rumors. Nonsense. I don’t know whether he seduced her or not.
How much effort has been made, but the key is that it seems to be of little use.
This child hasn't learned how to hit the ball straight yet, and she doesn't know how to perform high-end charms. She thought her method was quite effective.
If it weren’t for his good looks.
That's really a magician virgin who can easily defend against it.
What Liu Qianqian is worried about is that there are rumors that those female stars are trying to find ways to snatch Xiao Chen away from some immortal.
Chen Linfeng didn’t care,
As the saying goes, how long can a young man with strong blood last?
Obviously neither of these two people know that Chen Linfeng can cheat. As long as he is not tempted, it will be useless even if the real vixen comes.
Liu Qianqian was lying on the bed, looking at the not-so-round moon outside the window, with complicated thoughts in her mind.
……
Monday TV series seminar.
Many departments came, including the China Television Arts Committee, Huayang Television Arts Center, various production companies, and even associations studying Tang history. Professors from the history department of Yenching University were also invited to the scene.
Sitting in such an occasion, Chen Linfeng really felt like he was talking and laughing like a scholar.
The main content discussed at the meeting was not history, but why historical dramas can cause such a big response.
According to the opening, data provided by Huayangtai Literature and Art Center.
The national average ratings for the first broadcast are 15%, and other TV stations rotate them. The second round is now basically over, and the ratings have basically reached about 5%. These are already some good dramas. When the first broadcast started, Level.
In addition, discussions on the Internet are also very hot.
At the time of the broadcast, the number of discussion posts in online forums such as Tianya, Maopu, and Baidu Tieba accounted for more than 20% of the total.
The newly established Datang Empire Bar had more than 100,000 followers and more than 2 million posts within half a month.
In terms of the Baidu Billboard Chart, it has always been in the first position during the broadcast of the TV series.
There are a lot of other data, and the speaker read it for about 3 minutes.
Next, there is the overseas aspect. As of early June, "Empire of the Tang Dynasty" has negotiated overseas broadcasts in five countries. It is currently in the content review stage, and there is no specific relevant viewership data.
Overall, it is indeed difficult for people to ignore the achievements of this drama so far.
Last year's "Bright Sword" also had a follow-up seminar, and "Datang Empire" has a completely different influence model.
At this seminar, some experts mentioned this.
"Bright Sword" mainly set a precedent. Since then, many anti-war dramas of the same type have followed suit, which can be regarded as adding a new form of public viewing.
Before this, there were no anti-war dramas that attracted much attention, but things will be different after that. I believe there will be more excellent anti-war dramas emerging.
Of course, experts still think less. They don’t know that in the following decades, anti-war dramas will continue to flourish, and they will support the jobs of most people in the Chinese film and television industry.
As for "Empire of the Tang Dynasty", it has experienced an intense burst of popularity in a short period of time, arousing a large group of people's interest in historical dramas.
At the same time, it also provides a new way of thinking for the subsequent film and television circles, that is, a good script + large production investment + many star actors + top-notch costumes can create the TV drama industry's own " Blockbuster".
Yes, TV dramas should also be blockbusters. This is the conclusion reached by the experts.
However, the production companies present obviously did not agree with this view, and some producers even had mocking expressions on their faces.
Why should I take risks and make such a so-called blockbuster when I can make money lying down.
These experts are really laymen and they only talk unrealistic nonsense.
Chen Linfeng has no objection to this, and is even quite supportive.
The blockbusters mentioned here are not the high-quality dramas of later generations. Except for the actors, because the salary has generally increased significantly, it is impossible to gather many stars.
Most of the dramas of Noon Sun, including "In the Name of the People", "Twelve Hours of Chang'an", and even "Jiang Ye" by Chen Kaige, and "Celebrating More Than Years" which was very popular before Chen Linfeng traveled through time, adopt this model. .
There are also excellent low-budget dramas, but they are relatively few.
It’s okay, it doesn’t matter if other companies don’t want to do it. It just so happens that his next "Star You" will be a standard "blockbuster" except for the actors.
If "Datang Empire" doesn't work once, then let him do it over and over again, and he can always make these companies who just want to lie down and work hard.
