In the next few days, Zhang Yimou stayed in the crew of "Future Apocalypse". When he was fine, he talked to Zhang Ran about "Future Apocalypse", about the various technologies of "Future Apocalypse", and about his "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins".

In the process of talking about "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", Zhang Ran put forward some of his own views in a timely manner. "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" is a good movie, but there are also many problems, the color tone is too fancy, the war scene at the beginning is relatively fake, and so on. In Zhang Ran's view, this kind of story must be realistic and not too exaggerated, otherwise there will be no sense of historical heaviness.

Zhang Ran originally wanted to stuff Jingtian to Zhang Yimou, let Jingtian train with Ni Ni and them as an alternative, and finally eliminate Jingtian. Let her suffer some frustrations and trials, and let her know that movies are not something you can act if you want to.

However, Zhang Ran finally gave up, he was afraid that Zhang Yimou would think too much, Zhang Yimou decided to part ways with Zhang Weiping because Zhang Weiping interfered with his creation, and now he directly stuffed Jingtian to Zhang Yimou, in case Zhang Yimou thinks that we haven't officially cooperated, you will stuff people to me, and when we officially cooperate, will it interfere with my creation like Zhang Weiping? If Zhang Yimou thinks so, then the matter will be troublesome.

Three days later, Zhang Yimou left the crew of "Future Apocalypse", and quietly returned to China to go through the marriage procedures and the child's household registration under the arrangement of the peak of the century, and confessed to the Family Planning Commission that he had given birth to an overchild, saying that he was willing to accept the punishment and pay as much as he could. The people of the Family Planning Commission were a little confused, they had never been able to avoid fines, and it was the first time they had encountered someone who took the initiative to come to the door to admit the fine.

Zhang Ran is not worried about Zhang Yimou's matter at all, there is a special person in charge of this matter at the peak of the century, there will definitely be no problem, his mind is on the filming of the movie.

By now, the war scenes of "Future Apocalypse" have almost been filmed, and the first half of the movie is coming to an end, leaving only a duel between Adams, who is dressed in exoskeleton armor, and Colonel Ancient, a robot.

No, in this episode, the Colonel directly persuaded Adams to surrender, and in the movie the two have a big fight. This serves two purposes, the first is to make the movie look better, and at the same time, it also lays the groundwork for the final ending of the movie. At the end of the movie, Colonel Gu successfully assassinated the leader of the robot with a saber, and such a duel was arranged in front, the audience would know that Gu was a very powerful robot, and in the end, he successfully assassinated the audience so that the audience would not feel abrupt.

The fight scene lasted nearly five minutes, and Robert De Niro, an old man in his seventies, refused to be a stand-in and went into battle himself, fearing any danger. Jing Tian was shocked, these action scenes can completely make a stand-in, as for being so desperate! She asked Robert De Niro, you have already achieved fame, why are you still working so hard? Robert De Niro's answer is very simple, I am an actor, let others play everything, are you still called an actor?

This answer made Jing Tianleng for a long time, and she suddenly realized that although she likes acting, she has never really known the profession of actor, nor has she realized the meaning of the profession of actor.

Just when Zhang Ran was busy wrapping up the war drama of "Future Apocalypse", the summer ratings war of domestic TV stations was also in full swing.

Every summer, each David TV will launch a variety of dramas aimed at the tastes of young people, and this year is no exception.

Mango Satellite TV has launched a series of martial arts dramas and idol dramas, of which the key item is "Good Times Like a Dream" starring Feng Shaofeng, Chen Qiaoen and Qiu Ze, while Litchi Satellite TV has also prepared a high-quality idol drama, "Bubble Summer" starring Huang Xiaoming and Da S, in addition to "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", "Beauty Like a Cloud", "Mythology" and "Sou Shen Biography".

Blueberry TV, which has gained momentum with "Run, Brother" in recent months, will not only launch martial arts and idol dramas, but also launch a much-anticipated Xianxia drama "Zhu Xian". However, this drama is not broadcast exclusively on Blueberry Satellite TV, but simultaneously broadcast on Blueberry, Dongfang, Beiping, and Xichuan in prime time.

Needless to say, the influence of "Zhu Xian" is not to be said, but anyone who watches the Internet does not know "Zhu Xian", and this drama has received great attention from the beginning of preparation.

Since being acquired by the peak of the century, Tangren's development has embarked on the fast lane, and now it has become a leader in the industry. Previously, the "Meteor Shower" series launched by Tang directly raised the domestic idol dramas to a higher level, and "Providence" has become the pioneering work of Chinese science fiction TV dramas. Therefore, after knowing that Tang Ren was going to shoot "Zhu Xian", countless audiences were full of expectations for this drama.

Tang Ren also put a lot of effort into "Zhu Xian", because Zhang Ran believes that Xianxia is unique to China, and the theme of Xianxia may become another signboard of Chinese film and television in addition to kung fu films; and he hopes that the peak of the century will form a model to shoot high-quality TV series, and then increase profits through movies, games, stage plays, theme parks, and various derivatives, and form a complete industrial chain.

Zhang Ran is not very satisfied with the domestic Xianxia and magic film and television works in recent years, take "Journey to the West" as an example, the Erlang God, the Giant Spirit God, and the Jade Emperor in the old version of "Journey to the West" are Chinese at first glance, but watching Zhang Jizhong's version of "Journey to the West", there is always a feeling of watching "World of Warcraft", which is too heavily influenced by Hollywood and too Westernized. Zhang Ran feels that the story of Xianxia is very Chinese, and it must be very Chinese when filmed.

In the domestic film and television works, only Tsui Hark's movie "The Legend of Shu Mountain" is really immortal, the shortcomings of this movie are particularly obvious, the plot completely makes way for special effects, and the characters are as thin as paper, but it really captures the elegantness of the sky and the sword spirit in Xianxia.

During the preparation period of "Zhu Xian", Zhang Ran once pointed to "The Legend of Shushan" and said to Cai Yinong and Li Guoli that this feeling must be filmed, as long as this feeling is filmed, this drama will be completed.

In order to reproduce the scenes of Qingyunmen, Blood Refining Hall, Ten Thousand Bat Ancient Caves, Black Stone Cave and other scenes in "Zhu Xian", the Tiangong Chongcai who served as the special effects production worked hard, and the special effects director spent half a year to go to Longhu Mountain, Nanxi River, and Tianmen Mountain in Zhangjiajie to collect style, and finally made the Qingyunmen style of undulating mountains and rolling clouds on the basis of Zhangjiajie.

In order to produce the desired effect, the Tang people are not afraid of spending money at all, the initial budget of "Zhu Xian" was 160 million, but later an additional 80 million, and finally spent 150 million on special effects, and the entire special effects cost is ten times that of Zhang Jizhong's version of "Journey to the West".

In June this year, Tang Ren posted a five-minute clip of "Zhu Xian" on the Internet, and this clip was officially a clip of the Great War of Righteousness and Demons a hundred years ago. After the trailer of "Zhu Xian" was broadcast, it immediately caused a sensation on the Internet. It can be seen from the trailer that "Zhu Xian" is completely the texture of the movie, in terms of the level of special effects, far above "The Legend of Shushan", netizens who have seen it are almost praised.

"To be honest, I originally came to complain, and after watching the film, I know where these hundreds of millions are smashed, the Tang people are really too trenched, you can take screenshots casually, is it a movie texture?"

"I also saw that Weibo was spinning, and I took a casual look, which was really shocking. It's really convincing that domestic TV series can shoot this kind of texture. The actor is also pleasing to the eye. I just don't know what the plot is, don't change it blindly!"

"After watching it, I'm so excited, the Tang people have once again refreshed the upper limit of domestic drama production!

Even the author Xiao Ding jumped out and denounced the crew "angrily" on Weibo: "You guys are just too much, TV series are made like this, how can movies be made in the future?"

At 8 p.m. on August 2, "Zhu Xian" was officially broadcast. The TV series started with the battle between the righteous and the demons a hundred years ago, the righteous path and the demon road fought fiercely for three days and three nights, inseparable, at the critical moment, Tianchengzi sacrificed the Zhuxian Sword Array at the foot of Qingyun Mountain and finally defeated the Demon Sect, and the Demon Sect was defeated and fled. The audience was stunned by the ten-minute battle between good and evil, especially the majestic momentum released after the launch of the Zhuxian Sword Array, which made almost all viewers feel the same thing, is this a movie or a TV series?

Next, the plot turned to the main topic, Zhang Xiaofan, a teenager from Caomiao Village, met Puzhi, and thus caused the tragedy of destroying the village, and was finally taken under the door by Qingyunmen, and the story of "Zhu Xian" officially began.

The next morning, the ratings of the four-star simulcast of "Zhu Xian" were released. Blueberry Satellite TV 1.21%, Dragon TV 1.03%, Peking Satellite TV 1.11%, Xichuan Satellite TV 0.92%, the ratings of the four satellite TVs combined, the ratings of the whole network are 4.27%.

In recent years, people's lives have become more and more diversified, the Internet, mobile phones, online games, etc. have diverted many young audiences, and the ratings of TV dramas have been declining year by year. And now that "Zhu Xian" has only aired two episodes, three satellite TV have broken 1, and one satellite TV has 0.9, which is simply dumbfounded.

Major domestic media and major web portals have reported on the hit of "Zhu Xian", and netizens have set off heated discussions on the Internet.

"It's worthy of being a TV series produced by the peak of the century, the special effects are really amazing, good-looking and with Chinese characteristics, and the details are also very good, this kind of film may only be made by the peak of the century!"

"It's so awesome and so meaningful, flying away from the sky, crossing mountains and rivers, and imaginatively!

"It's definitely not too much to describe it as beautiful and imaginative, this is the Xianxia world that has appeared in my dreams countless times, and will still appear in my dreams countless times later!"

Of course, there are also a lot of controversies about "Zhu Xian", for example, many viewers feel that Wu Lei, who plays the young Zhang Xiaofan, looks too clever and does not match the ordinary Zhang Xiaofan, it would be nice to change the actor with Lin Jingyu.

In fact, since the preparation of "Zhu Xian", there has been a lot of controversy about casting, such as Yang Fan playing Baguio and Fu Xinbo playing Zhang Xiaofan, both of which have received a lot of criticism, and the most discussed is Lu Xueqi's actor Tong Liya. In the eyes of many people, Tong Liya is too thin and dark, and she looks too charming, which is completely unsuitable for playing Lu Xueqi, who does not eat fireworks in the world.

The Tang people don't care too much about this, this kind of controversy is not the first time they have encountered it, you can't help this at all, there are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand readers, and it is impossible to satisfy everyone. Tang Ren's "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" has been praised as a classic by many people in the past two years, but when this drama was first broadcast, it was scolded as a dog, saying that the actors' acting skills were not good, that Hu Ge was dressed like a migrant worker, that Zhao Linger was too good, that Li Xiaoyao's acting skills were exaggerated, in short, all kinds of dissatisfaction.

The production of "Zhu Xian" is much better than "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", and the script also has the participation of the author Xiao Ding, there is no problem of blindly changing the story, although there are some criticisms, but it cannot stop the enthusiasm of the audience at all, and the ratings of "Zhu Xian" have been rising.

By Friday, the ratings of Blueberry Satellite TV and Peking Satellite TV had broken through the two-point mark, Dragon TV had 1.8%, and Xichuan Satellite TV also exceeded 1.5%, and "Zhu Xian" has become the king of recent ratings with a crushing trend.
