Chapter 53: The EP Sells

Compared with the excitement of others, Yang Yu was much calmer.

Although he is also very happy in his heart, after all, he is only playing a second male role, no matter how likable the role is, no matter how high the ratings are, he will not gain the most.

However, his idea didn't rise for long before he was dispelled by Xu Jinsong's assistant director.

"Director Xu, according to the audience's feedback on the Internet, the main focus is on the female protagonist, the second male, and three songs, and then the male protagonist. ”

Xu Jinsong waved his hand and said: "It's okay, the plot has just begun, and then there will be a plot to promote, and the audience's eyes will always be on the plot and the two protagonists." ”

However, Sun Nannan rolled his eyes and said: "Lao Xu, let's shoot and broadcast at the same time, we have to consider the needs of the audience, and we don't have to think about the ending first, we can add more scenes to Yang Yu appropriately." ”

Hearing Sun Nannan's words, Xu Jinsong patted his thigh and said: "I didn't expect that since the audience likes to watch Yang Yu, then we will shoot more Yang Yu, as long as the ratings are high, it will be possible to make it a double protagonist." ”

Hearing the words of the two, Jin Yanqiu and Yang Yu both showed happy expressions.

At the same time that Galaxy Pictures got the ratings, Zhang Tang's company Tiancheng Entertainment also got the news.

Tiancheng Entertainment, as a co-tenant partner of Shonan Satellite TV, has an inexplicable interest relationship with Shonan Satellite TV, and the relationship between the two has always been close.

In an office of Tiancheng Entertainment, Zhang Tang and Zheng Qing, who knew the ratings, were equally excited, and Zhang Tang swept away the recent depression.

Before he wanted to snatch Yang Yu's two songs, he didn't succeed, but was reprimanded by the company, and now the ratings of "Flowers" are good, and he obviously has to rely on this TV series to turn over after two years of silence.

But soon when he turned to the audience survey and the popularity of Internet attention, he immediately shouted to the agent with a face full of shame: "Why does that little white face get more attention than me, I am the male protagonist." ”

Seeing Zhang Tang's agent's helpless expression, Zheng Qing next to him couldn't help but complain secretly in his heart: "Where did you get your confidence, you think that your popularity can be higher than others." ”

On the second day, the second episode of "Flowers" once again hit the ratings of 0.9, and it was created in the late night file, and it broke into the top ten of the national TV drama ratings list in early 2010 with only two episodes.

Maybe this rating won't even be in the top ten by the end of the year, but we can't ignore that this is a TV series broadcast in the late night file, and the late night file can create such a high collection, and it is amazing enough to compete in such a fierce domestic market.

This rating not only made the industry look sideways, but also made Galaxy Entertainment and Shonan Satellite TV, which originally did not pay much attention to it, re-examine this drama.

Through investigation, they found that the reason why this drama was so eye-catching in the early days was not only Xu Jinsong's treatment of the picture, but also the attention brought by Yang Yu and a few songs.

After two episodes, the original focus of "Flowers" changed again, and Bi Qiuyang, the second male with a likable personality, relied on his appearance and not bad acting skills to suppress the limelight of other leading actors and became the most popular person at the end of the play.

If the public's attention to Yang Yu was still focused on the field of music before, as soon as this TV came out, many viewers immediately remembered his identity as an actor.

Yang Yu is handsome, has a good figure, and his acting skills are not inferior to Zheng Qing, who was born in a professional class, and he plays a slightly arrogant son-in-law vividly.

Everyone found that in addition to the identity of a singer, Yang Yu also did a good job as an actor.

With the results, the two cooperating companies immediately increased their publicity efforts for "Flowers", but these are just icing on the cake for the crew.

Because of the ratings, they didn't have a chance to rest at all, and immediately plunged into intense shooting.

Now that this rating, it is already a certainty that it will continue to broadcast, and if the ratings continue to grow, Shonan Satellite TV will definitely consider moving this drama to prime time.

Although Zhang Tang and Yang Yu did not deal with each other, because of the good ratings, the two did not create any more conflicts for the sake of their respective futures.

To be precise, Zhang Tang did not continue to look for trouble under the warning of the company and Shonan Satellite TV, anyway, Yang Yu has always been too lazy to pay attention to this brain-dead.

After two weeks of filming, Yang Yu relied on a good person, and he was very popular in the crew, and no one thought that he had a good personality, and he didn't have a star at all.

On the other hand, Zhang Tang didn't learn a lesson at all, and after the TV series ratings were good, he probably felt that he had really become a big-name star, and he was even more upset than before when he played a big name.

Although he didn't dare to provoke Yang Yu, he almost offended the rest of the crew, and even the director Xu Jinsong was confronted several times.

After the first four episodes were broadcast, Yang Yu not only had to hurry up the shooting, but also released the digital version of the original EP of "Flowers" on the three major stations under the call of the majority of fans.

Although Yang Yu's first album is still in the long-term sales period, it has not affected the sales of this EP in the slightest.

The already excellent works, coupled with the promotion of the TV series, made this EP sell more than 70,000 copies on the Internet on the first day of release, and directly landed at the top of the album sales charts on the three major websites.

After the release of the EP, the reputation of music critics was equally good, almost one-sided.

Xin Yinru, a music critic who has always admired Yang Yu, posted a post on Weibo for the first time.

The general meaning of the article is that Yang Yu's EP proves that his talent is not only limited to inspirational music, but also in the creation of love songs, his talent is enough to make people amazing.

Such a strong appeal in the music market, as well as a good professional reputation, immediately caused an uproar in the music circle.

Yang Yu's first album has allowed these people to prove his strength, and now this mini-album proves that Yang Yu is not a short-lived meteor.

A week after the online digital album was sold, Yang Yu released a physical EP again.

After selling 190,000 copies of the digital album in the first week, the physical EP sold more than 100,000 copies a week, and the sales of the digital album this week were still fierce, selling 220,000 again.

Yang Yu's album sold 510,000 copies in two weeks, allowing the three songs "Flowers", "I'm Sorry I Love You", and "Moments of Happiness" to directly land in the top 20 of the public trust list after the physical EP was released in the second week.

If it weren't for the release of several veteran singers at the beginning of the year, it would not be a problem for his songs to be directly airborne in the top ten.

But even so, the astonishing growth rate of his three songs in the public trust chart has also brought a lot of pressure to major music companies.

Seeing this situation, these companies also regretted why they didn't dig Yang Yu ruthlessly in the first place.

The success of this EP once again proves Yang Yu's appeal in the music market, and it also makes him stand out among the newcomers in the music scene.

Even if he is placed among the senior singers, he can squeeze into the upper reaches, so from now on, those competitors will no longer treat him as an ordinary newcomer.

When his next album is released, it will not be so calm, and he will definitely be challenged.

At the same time that Yang Yu's album was a big hit, the first month of "Flowers" was finally played, and when the eighth episode was played, the highest ratings finally broke 1.

The late-night TV series broke 1, which also made Shonan Satellite TV finally make up its mind to move the last eight episodes of "Flowers" to prime time broadcasting, trying to impact higher ratings.

In reality, with the help of the influence of Shonan Satellite TV, this "Fragrance of Flowers" quickly aroused a lot of viewing heat, and on the Internet, the discussion of this drama is also hot.

Netizens have commented that although the plot of "Flowers" is a bit old-fashioned, fortunately, the director's skills are good, and Yang Yu's soundtrack is good enough, and many people watch it because of this.

This TV series is not exquisite and beautiful, the music is beautiful and touching, and in addition to the male protagonists, several leading actors are not only eye-catching, but also very online, even in idol dramas, it can be regarded as a high level.

It's just that everyone can't figure out why the women in the play don't like Bi Qiuyang played by Yang Yu, but they like the male protagonist who has an indecisive personality and is crushed by Bi Qiuyang.

Of course, with the popularity of the series, a group of actors are also hot, and even Zhang Tang has some supporters.

Although Xu Jinsong is already adding drama to Yang Yu, Zhang Tang is the protagonist in the script after all, and as the plot unfolds, it will still attract many fans.

However, compared with the popularity of Yang Yu and Zheng Qing, Zhang Tang is still a little shabby as the original actor.

The reporters who follow the crew everywhere every day, as well as the fans who chase stars, pay the most attention to Yang Yu, then Zheng Qing, and Zhang Tang can only rank third.

At the end of March, Yang Yu had just completed the filming of the tenth episode and hurried back to the company.

With the popularity of the TV series and the hot sale of the EP, Yang Yu's popularity has also grown rapidly.

New business activities, endorsements, film appointments, performances and other work are coming one after another, and while he is free, he must have a good wisp with Jin Yanqiu.

In Jin Yanqiu's office, Yang Yu was looking at the recent work plan, and Ren Qing and Jin Yanqiu were discussing something.

His assistant Fang Wen was talking to a middle-aged woman named Li Qiule, who was Jin Yanqiu's new stylist for Yang Yu.

As his popularity grew, personal styling became more and more important, and as a star, he always had to show his perfect posture in front of the public.

As a self-motivated star, whether it is shopping on the street, or entering and exiting public places such as airports, the look is carefully prepared in advance.

Although for him, it is not as good as those female stars who have to prepare for half an hour to take out the garbage, but they must also pay attention to it.

That's why Jin Yanqiu found this Li Qiule for him, who is in charge of his styling work at any time.
