Chapter 629: "Struggle" VS "Meteor Shower"
"Zhang Ran, Su Mang asked me to hand over the invitation to you, inviting you to participate in this year's Bazaar Star Charity Night. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
As soon as Zhang Ran walked into the house, Zhang Jingchu handed him an invitation.
Zhang Ran has been busy with both the Olympics and acquisitions recently, so how can he have time to participate in these activities. He didn't see it, and threw the invitation directly on the desk: "I won't go, I don't have time, you just go on my behalf!"
In 2003, SARS raged across the country, and the whole of China started a battle against SARS. Singer Na Ying suggested that the costumes and supplies that celebrities don't use should be auctioned and donated to those in need. Under the management of Harper's Bazaar editor-in-chief Su Mang, the first "Bazaar Star Charity Night" was born.
Since then, more and more brands and celebrities have joined the charity ranks, and the influence of Bazaar Star Charity Night has become greater and greater, and now it has become the largest public welfare platform in China, with the largest number of celebrities and the widest influence circle.
Zhang Ran has received several invitations to Bazaar Star Charity Night, but he missed them all for one reason or another.
Zhang Jingchu pulled Zhang Ran's arm and shook it: "I promised Su Mang, saying that you will definitely go this year! This year is the fifth anniversary of the Bazaar Star Charity Night, and it is to jointly contribute love to the China Charity Federation Orphan Project, so that orphans who have lost their parents can also have a happy childhood, this is for the orphans to give love, you should go, and this year's charity party is co-organized with the Century Peak, it will be broadcast live on the Internet of the Century Peak, you will go once!"
Zhang Ran felt that his arm was about to shake off for her: "I'll go, I'll go, when will it be held?"
Zhang Jingchu said with a smile: "September 8th!"
Zhang Ran was very speechless: "This autumn pants are blank, and they are unreliable, and there are still more than a month!"
In the last life, when Su Mang was interviewed by the host Lu Yu, she revealed that she insisted on not wearing autumn pants in winter, and resolutely stopped her colleagues from not wearing autumn pants in cold New York when she visited abroad, which caused heated discussions among netizens, known as the "autumn pants door", so Zhang Ran has always called Su Mang autumn pants.
Zhang Jingchu knew that Zhang Ran didn't like Su Mang very much, but because of the cover of "Harper's Bazaar", she cooperated with Su Mang a few times and got along well, so she said: "Su Mang people are really good, don't listen to those rumors!"
Zhang Ran shook his head with a smile and said: "It's not a rumor, Su Mang really thinks that autumn pants are insulting to the fashion industry, and they resolutely boycott autumn pants in their company." Once, when a male editor bent down, he exposed the waist of the autumn pants, and Su Mang was suddenly furious, how could the fashion editor wear the autumn pants, and did he want to do it? The male editor is a southerner, and he is more afraid of the cold, so he still wears them, but he secretly stuffs the waist of the autumn pants into it, thinking that he can get through the test. The next day, Su Mang saw the male editor and went up to touch his waist, so the autumn pants were found again. ”
Zhang Jingchu chuckled: "Who did you listen to, is it really fake?"
Zhang Ran forgot who he listened to, it seemed to be Zhang Yu's assistant, or Guo Pei's assistant, anyway, someone in the fashion circle said: "It's summer now, I can't wear autumn pants." In the future, when I have the opportunity to see her in winter, I deliberately exposed my autumn pants, and you see her reaction, she must despise me very much, thinking that I am a dirt bun. ”
Zhang Jingchu slapped Zhang Ran and said, "Don't show it indiscriminately, people like you think you're going to seduce her!"
When he got up the next morning, Zhang Ran changed his clothes and prepared to go to Xinhai Jinjiang Hotel to participate in the launch of the TV series "Meteor Shower". He attaches great importance to this TV series, because he intends to use this drama to promote the concept of the Red Mori Female Department, and at the same time to promote the Red Youcao, the Mori Female brand.
However, when he went out, Zhang Ran suddenly remembered that this Monday, so he called to ask about the box office situation of "Time and Space Warrior 2" last week, and the answer was that "Time and Space Warrior 2" had a box office of 45 million last week, winning the weekly championship for three consecutive weeks.
On July 19th, "Time and Space Warrior 2" was officially released in China, and after the movie was released, it received rave reviews, praised online and offline, and the box office soared, and the total domestic box office has accumulated 256 million so far.
Up to now, the global box office of "Time Warrior 2" has approached 650 million US dollars, and the final box office should be around 750 million US dollars, which is 6 billion yuan when converted into RMB, and the total domestic box office of the whole year last year was only 4 billion, which was 2 billion more than last year's total domestic box office.
It's really crazy!
In addition to clothing, calendars, postcards, key chains, and dolls, Century Summit also launched an online game of the same name, which reached 300,000 online users in less than a week after it was launched.
The performance of "Time and Space Warrior 2", as well as the means of making money, made countless domestic directors who are still struggling to break 100 million feel numb in their scalps and tremble in their hearts, this is really more angry than people!
However, although "Time Warrior 2" is very hot at the box office, the most heated discussion on the Internet in recent days is not this movie, but the upcoming ratings war between "Struggle" and "Meteor Garden".
The TV industry is known as the saying that "those who win the summer file win the world", therefore, the TV screen throughout the summer is particularly wonderful and tragic. Each David did not hesitate to throw the hole cards in their hands on this battlefield, whether it was variety shows, talent shows or TV series, they all broke out during this period, fighting to the point of exhaustion.
Among all TV dramas, the most concerned is undoubtedly "Struggle" and "Meteor Shower", both TV series are youth idol dramas, and they are both known to be very inspirational, and they are also broadcast in the same time period, and more importantly, Zhao Baogang, the director of "Struggle", is a representative of the Beijing circle, and "Meteor Shower" is the work of the peak of the century, and the contradiction between the Beijing circle and the peak of the century is well known, therefore, the ratings war between the two TV series is particularly noteworthy.
""Struggle" VS "Meteor Shower", who will win?"
""Struggle" PK "Meteor Shower", which one do you choose to watch?"
""Struggle" VS "Meteor Shower", the dark war between the Beijing circle and the peak of the century has been escalated again!"
"Old gun Zhao Baogang VS new Ding Xue Xiaolu, who will have the last laugh?"
Major portals and entertainment editions of many media outlets are reporting on the upcoming ratings war between "Struggle" and "Meteor Shower", and analyzing this battle from a variety of different angles. Almost all media are more optimistic about "Struggle" and believe that "Struggle" will be the winner of this ratings war.
The reason why the media is optimistic about "Struggle" is very simple, this TV series known as Zhao Baogang's transformation masterpiece has been broadcast on many local stations since May, such as the TV drama channel of Modu TV, Zhejiang Economic Television, etc., with the broadcast of "Struggle" on various local stations one after another, this drama has become popular and has become a hot topic on the Internet. It is no exaggeration to say that watching "Struggle" has become a popular trend nowadays, and many young people even imitate Lu Tao in the play, wearing a T-shirt to stand up with their collars up.
On the contrary, "Meteor Shower" was not so lucky, and the TV series had not officially started filming, so it was questioned by netizens first. Judging from a poll data on the Internet, the number of people who support "Meteor Shower" is less than 3 percent, and many netizens say that the Taiwanese version of "Meteor Garden" starring Yan Chengxu and others is classic and irreplaceable. When the plastic surgery of the actors of "Meteor Shower" was announced, from the heroine Shu Chang, to the four male protagonists Jia Niliang, Hu Ge, Zhang Chao, and Qiao Renliang, netizens made a lot of critical comments, "Hua Ze is not hesitant enough", "Daoming Temple is too earthy", etc., basically not optimistic about this drama.
After the filming of "Meteor Shower", Century Summit did not sell the broadcast rights to local satellite TV, but prepared to go directly to the stars and sold the first round of broadcast rights to Mango Satellite TV, which was exclusively broadcast by Mango Satellite TV. So far, there has been little publicity for "Meteor Shower" other than Mango TV broadcasting a TV trailer.
In terms of the current market reaction, the popularity of "Struggle" is much higher than that of "Meteor Shower".
The vast majority of the media are now singing about "Meteor Shower", thinking that the ratings of "Struggle" will completely explode "Meteor Shower".
Zhang Ran came to Xinhai Jinjiang Hotel and entered the lounge under the guidance of the staff. Cai Yinong, the producer of "Meteor Shower", Xue Xiaolu, the director, and the five leading actors Shu Chang, Jia Niliang, Hu Ge, Zhang Chao, and Qiao Renliang are all in it. When they saw Zhang Ran coming in, they all quickly got up and said hello.
Zhang Ran said hello to everyone, asked Jia Niliang about her current situation, and then chatted with Xue Xiaolu and asked her what she planned next. Xue Xiaolu told Zhang Ran that she was writing a script recently, which was based on her personal experience volunteering for the autism community. Zhang Ran knew that it should be the movie "Ocean Paradise", so he told her to come to him when the script was completed.
At half past nine, Zhang Ran and all the main creators appeared at the scene of the press conference, and the press conference officially began.
The media was overjoyed to see Zhang Ran, you must know that when "Time and Space Warrior 2" premiered in China, he didn't show up, and no one expected him to come to the launch conference of "Meteor Shower".
The whole press conference was presented in the form of a graduation ceremony, and the five leading actors of "Meteor Shower" represented all the actors in the whole drama to show their good achievements in various fields such as film and television, business endorsement and media in the past year. In the end, under the joint scoring of ten subjects such as film and television, media and other subjects, they scored 99 points, and finally Zhang Ran personally awarded them graduation certificates.
After the press conference, reporters surrounded Zhang Ran and asked questions. The question that everyone is most interested in is the same: "Now they are talking about the ratings war of "Struggle" and "Meteor Shower", which drama do you think will win?"
Zhang Ran smiled and said: "I watched "Struggle", it is a very good TV series, I believe the ratings should be good, but if you want to say who has higher ratings of "Struggle" or "Meteor Shower", I believe it must be "Meteor Shower"!"
A reporter asked: "But netizens are not optimistic about "Meteor Shower", thinking that they can't surpass the classics, and ruining the TV series "Meteor Garden", which can be called the originator of idol dramas, what do you think?"
Zhang Ran smiled and said: "I've read all the remarks on the Internet, and I'm not optimistic about "Meteor Shower", saying that "Meteor Shower" is bad, I can completely understand. But to say that "Meteor Shower" is more earthy than "Meteor Garden" would be a bit ridiculous. I am from Xichuan, and there is a saying in our place, very port, that is, very dragged, very foreign. This Hong Kong actually refers to Hong Kong, because for a long time, Hong Kong and Taiwan have represented fashion and trends, and even many people are proud of Hong Kong and Taiwan accents, and even some hosts are Hong Kong and Taiwan accents. But that's in the past, and now in terms of fashion, we are really not much worse than Hong Kong and Taiwan. I dare to say that, if you compare fashion degrees, "Meteor Shower" throws off "Meteor Garden" eight streets!"
Hearing this, the reporters were shocked, it was worthy of Zhang Ran, he really dared to say anything!
Shortly after the press conference, today's headlines immediately appeared on the Internet: "Zhang Ran responds to the question: "Meteor Shower" dumps "Meteor Garden" eight streets!"
