Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV, TV station headquarters.

A staff member is reporting to Meng Yi, the director of the TV drama production center.

"What, broke the ratings record of the online drama, and the popularity exceeded 100 million in two days?" Meng Yi was also shocked when he heard the news.

When did online dramas have this ability?

You must know that compared with star dramas, online dramas are only petty fights at most.

Immediately, Meng Yi began to understand the information of "Celebrating More Than Years".

Starring: Hong Chen, Chen Ming, Wu Gang......

Just seeing these names, Meng Yi almost exclaimed.

Chen Ming actually acted in an online drama, there are 5 national first-class actors in this drama? The starring role is the most popular film and television star Hong Chen?

This kind of drama didn't make it to the stars?

Meng Yi saw the producers again, Penguin Films, China Literature Group....... Only then did he react, it turned out to be the wealthy Penguin Empire, no wonder.

Now some video APPs are richer than satellite TV, and they are more generous, and the TV series they produce themselves will naturally not look for a TV station, but want to play it on their own platform.

Subsequently, Meng Yi began to watch this TV series, it doesn't matter if he watches it, he found that this drama is really powerful!

He can become the director of the TV drama production center of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV, and his vision is naturally very unique.

Moreover, the current popularity of this drama is enough to show that the quality of this drama is high.

Today's young people like to watch TV series and movies on video software, and get rid of TV sets, but most middle-aged and elderly people are still used to watching TV.

And "Celebrating More Than Years" is also a favorite type of this part of the group.

Therefore, Meng Yi immediately found the leader of the TV station and asked to buy the broadcast rights of this TV series!

Facts have proved that Meng Yi's vision is very unique.

It is precisely because of this TV series that the ratings of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV directly crushed all satellite TV in the same period, and even, the ratings exceeded CCTV!

You must know that the satellite TV with the highest ratings in the country is CCTV.

It is difficult for local satellite TV to surpass CCTV's ratings.

But with "Celebrating More Than Years", Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV did it!

When other satellite TV saw this situation, they were all very red-eyed, hating that they didn't buy the broadcast rights of Qing Yunian earlier, and now they can only watch others eat meat.

"I'm really going to audition in New York, it's so hard, it's hard to take a break at the beginning of the year. Hong Chen's home, Yan Yileng said with concern.

"Well, the role is challenging and wanted to give it a try. Hong Chen said seriously.

"You are now the top star in China, why are you so tired?" Yan Yileng hoped that he and Hong Chen could be together for a long time, so he didn't want Hong Chen to run around.

Everyone's pursuit is different, and for Hong Chen, he wants to make a good career in this industry. Although he had reached his current position, there were still higher mountains, and he wanted to see the scenery there.

Moreover, Hong Chen knows that compared with many people in the entertainment industry, he is actually not too hard.

Take the parallel world as an example, the new girl group idol Yang Chaoyue, debuted for more than a year and received more than 210 announcements, including five film and television dramas, three resident variety shows and three concerts.......

Compared with Hong Chen, there are only three or four works a year at most.

Of course, Hong Chen is the leading actor in film and television works, and the time span of each work is relatively long, not the kind of rushing to enter the group and leaving after filming.

Hong Chen also doesn't like that kind of life of rushing around.

"There are some things that I want to try. Hong Chen smiled gently.

Yan Yileng knew that he was ambitious, so he didn't say anything.

Now "Celebrating More Than Years" is popular, as expected by Hong Chen. The Spring Festival movies are still fighting, there are promotional posters everywhere, and various discussions and predictions on the Internet are as always.

Real-time data shows that the highest pre-sale box office is "Pudong Fortress", and the box office champion predicted by the official accounts of major media is "Crazy Alien".

Many film critics agree that "The Wandering Earth" should be able to achieve a good box office, but after all, it is a sci-fi disaster theme, and it is not suitable for the happy atmosphere of the Spring Festival, so it will not become a box office champion.

During this time, Hong Chen was idle for a few days, and the clown's first audition was from January 5th to January 15th, and Hong Chen specially picked the middle time, that is, January 10th, to take a plane to New York.

If you go too early, it will definitely be the time when there are the most auditioning actors, and the chance of elimination will be the greatest.

So, just when "Celebrating More Than Years" exploded on the whole network and the audience was appreciating Hong Chen's performance in the TV series, Hong Chen quietly flew to New York in the United States with two assistants.

He's going to challenge an impossible audition.

New York, Universal Pictures Headquarters Building.

As one of the eight major film studios, Warner Bros. Pictures' headquarters building soars into the sky, showing the company's deep pockets.

Warner Bros. is the third oldest film and television company in the United States, and was rated as one of the world's top 500 companies as early as two years ago, which is enough to show his status.

He has a lot of classic IPs, such as Harry Potter, The Matrix, etc., but if you talk about the most classic IP, it is still the Batman series.

The United States has held many rankings of the most popular superheroes, and the first place has always been Batman, whose status is unshakable. The second is Spider-Man. And in fact, the second place has changed many times, but the first place has always remained the same.

In fact, the reason is very simple. Marvel and DC take different routes.

Marvel's most popular is Spider-Man, but Marvel's resources are not completely tilted towards Spider-Man, and other characters in the comics can even be assigned to better artists, screenwriters, story lines, and major events.

Unlike DC, the core of the entire company is tilted around Batman.

There are many classic works in Batman's story line that have influenced the history of anime.

Marvel looked very open, and his idea was, I don't compete with you for the first place in popularity, I just need to keep these superheroes I want to push are in a relatively high position.

Like Iron Man, Team America, Thor, Widow Sister, Captain Marvel, etc.

But DC's superheroes are not like this, and even the other two Supermen and Wonder Woman of the DC Big Three are obviously not enough.

Of course, there is another reason why Batman is the most popular.

That is, DC's portrayal of villains is much higher than that of Marvel, and just a joker adds countless points to the character of Batman.

Therefore, it will be a very big challenge for Hong Chen to play this role.

Hong Chen came downstairs to the Warner Pictures building, but was stopped by security guards.

"Hello, I'm an actor auditioning for the clown, my name is Hong Chen. Hong Chen smiled and reported to his home.

The security guard glanced at him, and there was a bit of indifference in his eyes.

"Sir, please leave. The security guard calmly stretched out his hand and made a gesture to stop Hong Chen from moving forward.

Hong Chen stood in place, tall and tall, and said indifferently: "I am an actor who auditioned for the clown, and I made an appointment with the screenwriter Mr. David Goyer, you can ask them, my audition number is No. 24." ”

The security guard's gaze remained the same, in his eyes, an Asian who was so likely to be an actor for an audition must have come to make trouble.

"Sir, please get out of here, or I'm going to take coercive measures. The security guard's face began to turn unkind.

Hearing this, Hong Chen's heart inexplicably surged with anger.

He had already said very politely that as long as the security guard went to ask the front desk and made a phone call, he would let him go to the audition department to audition.

But now the security guard has no intention of asking at all, but looks at people with prejudice.

Hong Chen seems to be like in some documentary scenes, a black driver obviously did not make any mistakes, but the white police still let him out, put his head in his hands on the car, and if he did not comply, he pulled out a gun and threatened, and even punched and kicked.

Obviously, the same is true of this security guard, with a discriminatory eye.

Hong Chen looked up at him, his face getting cold.

The other party is just a security officer, not a police officer, and it is already so excessive.

Thinking of this, Hong Chen said coldly again: "I repeat, my name is Hong Chen, and I am an actor who came to audition for the clown, you can go and ask the front desk." ”

When the security guard heard his words, his face became a little ugly, and he immediately stretched out his hand to grab Hong Chen and throw him out.

However, before his hand touched Hong Chen, he was held by Hong Chen, and then Hong Chen pinched his wrist hard, and the security guard suddenly screamed in pain.

The security guard still wanted to resist, but the other hand smashed at Hong Chen, and Hong Chen hit him with his elbow on the chest with his backhand.

A blow to the chest often puts a person in a state where they can't breathe for a short time. With Hong Chen's hand, the security guard suddenly took two steps back, clutched his throat, and was speechless in horror.

Originally, there was a lively security guard in the back, and when he saw this scene, he hurried to this side.

Hong Chen was still very calm, and said again to another security guard: "My name is Hong Chen, and I am an actor who came to audition, please talk to the front desk." ”

Another security guard saw this scene, swallowed with difficulty, and then ran into the company's building and went to inquire.
