It was more than two o'clock in the afternoon.

Magic City, Xianyun Hotel.

This is a five-star hotel, the grade is naturally not low, at this time, the east hall on the first floor is crowded, at a glance, there are at least hundreds of people.

More than ninety percent of these hundreds of people are still holding cameras or camcorders.

Strange?

Not surprising!

Because this afternoon, there will be a launch conference for the second season of "Dead Wishes".

Compared with the shabby start-up ceremony in the first season, the scale of the start-up conference in the second season is really not a little bit different.

Dozens of large and small domestic media came.

For the same drama, the momentum of the first and second seasons of the launch conference is so different, and the reason is naturally because of the high popularity and high reputation after the first season was broadcast.

The domestic audience is quite pitiful.

Every year, I can't see a few fresh and good dramas above the level, so the entire market, or all audiences, are hungry for wonderful good dramas.

is also for this reason, as long as there is a well-made and high-quality online drama launched every year, no matter how hard the producer and distributor promote, the audience will spontaneously help you promote it everywhere and hype up the word-of-mouth.

It is for this reason that after the first season of "Wish of the Dead" was broadcast, although Salted Fish Film and Television did not spend much money on publicity, the popularity still went up quickly.

Then, like vultures on the prairie smelling carrion, the media quickly gathered.

Since the first season of "Wish of the Dead" was broadcast, many traditional media and online media have been competing to report on it recently.

Although Sun Quan did not participate in any media interviews, there are still a lot of things that can be reported in this drama.

For example, this drama is not a traditional TV series, it is an emerging online drama.

For example, this drama is adapted from the original network of the same name.

For example, the chief director of this drama is the original author himself.

For example, none of the cast of this show are well-known actors.

Wait a minute.

The more you know about the show, the more you can report.

It's really a domestic drama like this, there are too few!

This drama proves a truth - a good story can move the audience more than a strong star cast, or a large production budget.

There is currently a fact: compared with those TV series that aired at the same time in the first season of "Dead Wishes", the first season of "Dead Wishes" was not the most popular, and the money earned was not the most.

But all episodes in the same period ...... The word-of-mouth of this drama is the best.

Moreover, this drama also has the highest ROI.

In the same period, there are so many dramas, those dramas that are more popular and make more money, and the production cost and publicity cost of each of them are far more than the first season of "Dead Wishes".

Dark horse!

These two words are the impression that this recent drama has given to the public and the media.

A 14-network drama with a low production cost and no big stars and well-known actors actually catching up with those TV series with big investment and strong star lineups in popularity.

and is still on word-of-mouth, beating those dramas.

Just ask, what is this not a dark horse?

......

Zhao Qian, a reporter from Today's Entertainment, was also sitting in this hall at this time.

While waiting for the press conference to start, he took out a pen and paper and wrote down the next questions he wanted to ask on the paper.

The first question he wrote was: "Mr. Sun, you are famous for writing and planning variety shows, what made you invest in and direct this drama yourself?" is because you think it is very easy to be a director, can you do it?"

The second question is: "Wayward cat!" As the screenwriter of this show, after the first season of "The Last Wish of the Dead" was broadcast, many people said that the success of this show was due to Director Sun, and it had nothing to do with you as a screenwriter, what do you think about this? Do you have anything to say?"

As a reporter, Zhao Qian's instinct is to provoke trouble, and he must ask questions sharply, and strive to make the subjects he interviews say amazing things, so that he can write popular press releases that attract people's attention.

After listing these two questions, he thought about it and put it down.

Because he knows that there are too many reporters who are here to attend this press conference today, even if he is lucky to be able to ask a question here, if he is lucky enough to have two opportunities to ask questions, he is extremely lucky.

Reason told him that it was almost impossible for him to get a chance to ask a third question.

Therefore, after he listed these two questions in the small book, he didn't think about anything else.

Anyway, it's in vain to think about it.

As he put away his pen, a tall beauty in a red dress took the stage with the microphone.

After coming on stage, this beauty smiled and gently patted the microphone in her hand with her palm, and only then did she put the microphone to her mouth and said with a smile: "Welcome! Welcome all media friends to participate in the launch of the second season of our first large-scale online drama "The Last Wish of the Dead" in our salted fish film and television, here, on behalf of our salted fish film and television, I would like to express my sincere thanks and warm welcome to you! Thank you!"

With that, she applauded.

Some of the reporters in the hall clapped their hands in cooperation, but many more only cared about taking pictures with cameras and video cameras.

And the beauty in the red dress on the stage didn't mind, she still had a warm smile on her face, she introduced herself - Bai Ling, this is her name, and also introduced her identity - the minister of the Propaganda Department of Salted Fish Film and Television.

After another scene, she raised her voice to invite the main creators of the crew to come to the stage.

Every time she came on stage, she introduced one like a newspaper.

The first to appear is Cheng Hao, the male protagonist of this drama.

Then came the female number one Wang Xiaoxiao and the female number two song Youran in the first season......

As soon as each of these people appeared on the stage, the scene lit up with bursts of flash white light, and the sound of the camera shutter clicked into one after another, and at this moment, the camera film seemed to be free of money.

When Huo Yiyi appeared on the stage, some reporters with good memories in the audience were surprised, and they recognized Huo Yiyi.

At the same time, there was a whisper from the audience.

"Hoyyi?"

"Isn't she a singer?

"Huo Yiyi has transformed? When did she stop singing and come to act?"

......

The whispering sound came into the ears of Huo Yiyi, who had just appeared on stage, but she had no stage fright, but just kept a calm smile and faced many cameras in the audience.

Stage fright?

Inexistent!

As an out-and-out rich second-generation Bai Fumei, she has seen a lot of big scenes since she was a child, not to mention, what kind of big scene is this today? When she participated in "The Voice of China" before, the audience in the audience was N times more than the people at today's press conference.

She didn't have stage fright at that time.

Sun Quan was the last to appear.

When he took the stage, the male and female protagonists of this drama, director Wang Zheng, producer Xue Zihan and others were already on stage.

Under normal circumstances, when a drama is popular, the popularity of the male and female protagonists should be the highest and the most sought after by the media, as for the director?

If it is a famous director, then the media will chase it, but if it is not so famous, then the director is not very attractive to the media.

But at this time, when Sun Quan, who was in white jeans and white shirt, took the stage, the frequency of the reporters in the audience pressing the camera shutter seemed to suddenly increase.

They proved one thing with their hand speed - even if they are not single, they can practice hand speed comparable to more than 30 years of singleness.

Sun Quan saw an exaggerated scene, a bearded reporter, the moment he appeared, suddenly stepped forward, and then knelt on one knee, the camera from small to up, and gave him a few upward shots of Sun someone.

At that moment, Sun Quan couldn't hold back and smiled.

The next moment, the audience threw gossip questions at him.

Some he heard.

For example: "Director Sun, Director Sun, the second season, do you expect the number of viewers to exceed hundreds of millions?"

"Director Sun, what kind of profession do you think you are? director, writer, businessman, or variety show planner?"

"Mr. Sun, some people say that you, the chief director, are just a name, and the actual work is done by the assistant director, what do you want to say about this?"

"Director Sun, is there a bed scene in the second season?"

......

But Sun Quan couldn't hear more questions at all, so in order to treat everyone equally, he pretended that he didn't hear anything clearly and didn't answer a single question.

Seeing this, the host Bai Ling hurriedly picked up the microphone to remind that it is not yet time to ask questions, please be quiet.

When the scene gradually quieted down, she began to preside over the press conference according to the established process.

First of all, Xue Zihan, the general manager of Salted Fish Film and Television and the producer of the drama "Wish of the Dead", spoke.

Xue Zihan's speech was also prepared in advance, which everyone can see, because before she spoke, she took out a speech draft.

She first reviewed the hardships and joys during the production of the first season, as well as the psychology of her and the company before and after the broadcast of the first season, as well as the evaluation on the Internet at that time.

After saying this, she changed the topic and began to briefly introduce the second season.

First of all, she introduced the investment amount in the second season, as well as the Shanda Literature and Youku videos that participated in the investment, and when she introduced these, she also introduced the representatives of Shanda Literature who came to participate in this press conference today with a smile, and the representatives of Youku Video.

Every time someone is introduced, a representative stands up and greets everyone with a smile on his face.

The representative of Shanda Literature who came to participate this time was Brother Qiang himself.

This kind of showmanship and showmanship, Brother Qiang loves to do.

And on the side of the cool video, it was a vice president who came.

After introducing these, Xue Zihan began to introduce the main actors of the second season.

First of all, the male and female leads.

The male protagonist Cheng Hao has not changed! Female No. 1 Wang Xiaoxiao...... Because she had already hung up in the first season, and even the ghosts after hanging were taken to the underworld by ghosts, so in the second season, she had very few scenes, just in the way of the hero's memories, and occasionally appeared.

So in the second season, she is no longer the female number one.

The female number one has become the female number two in the first season.

In the first season, Li Yuling, played by Qu Youran, is the sister of the female number one Li Yutong.

After her sister hung up, Li Yuling launched an overt or covert offensive against the male protagonist, doing things that did not flow into the fields of outsiders.

So in the second season, she is the female number one.

These three leading actors, after the first season aired, all became popular.

Cheng Hao's scarf fans currently have more than three million.

The female number one Wang Xiaoxiao has more than 3 million fans around her neck.

As for the female number two...... Her situation is more abnormal, it stands to reason that a 14-episode web drama, even if the female number two is popular, it will be very limited, and it is impossible to surpass the female number one in popularity.

But she broke that convention.

Her current popularity, at least the popularity of the scarf, is more than that of the female number one Wang Xiaoxiao.

She currently has more than 3 million fans around her neck.

has more than 500,000 fans than Wang Xiaoxiao.

This surprised many people on the Internet.

But viewers who really watched the 14 episodes of the first season of "Wish of the Dead" don't think it's strange.

Because in the first season, although Wang Xiaoxiao, who played the female number one Li Yutong, was very beautiful and sweet, the role of the female number two Li Yuling was obviously more brilliant.

Li Yuling loves humbly enough.

It's beautiful enough, too!

Li Yuling played by Qu Youran is not as sweet as Li Yutong played by Wang Xiaoxiao, but she is also very beautiful, but her beauty is like a budding flower bone, restrained and subtle, her beauty is easily reminiscent of a word - mellow.

Mellow girls have always been easy to move people's hearts, and even female audiences are difficult to envy and hate such characters, and Qu Youran played the role of Li Yuling very well.

In other words, her image is really suitable for the role of Li Yuling, and her own appearance and temperament give people a mellow feeling.

And the immaturity of her acting skills makes Li Yuling more youthful, mellow, and ignorant of the world, to put it simply: the immaturity of her acting skills not only did not become a shortcoming, but gave Li Yuling's role a more moving characteristic.

is such a character, the male protagonist Chen Yang, who is explicitly or secretly suited, she obviously has her own suitors, she can easily find a boyfriend, but she carefully gives Chen Yang hints again and again, implying that she likes him.

Occasionally, I can't help it, so I will have the courage to show him clearly.

But as soon as she saw him frowning, she immediately coaxed again, and immediately changed her tone, and took the initiative to interpret what she had just plucked up the courage to say into other meanings.

Her love for Chen Yang seems so humble and sympathetic.

It's like......

is like the kind of love that Wang Yuyan has for her cousin Murong Fu in the book "Dragon Babu".

Sort of!

Qu Youran portrayed the role of Li Yuling very well, and the role of Li Yuling was loved by tens of thousands of audiences, and tens of thousands of viewers also liked the actor Qu Youran.

She made many viewers yearn for love.

......

When Xue Zihan introduced Huo Yiyi.

A reporter at the scene couldn't help but ask: "Miss Huo Yiyi, may I ask what kind of female are you in the second season?"

This is not the time for reporters to ask questions.

So Huo Yiyi smiled and didn't answer.

Xue Zihan didn't pay attention to the reporter.

After she finished speaking, she handed the microphone to Sun Quan, and at the same time, the host Bai Ling also smiled: "Next, I invite our President Sun to speak!"

Sun Quan took the microphone, smiled, and the first thing he said was: "In the second season, I will be the director, so the chief director of the second season will be our ghost directors Wang Zheng and Brother Zheng!"
