December 31, winter.

The Chinese New Year is less than a month away.

At 8 o'clock tonight, Dragon Snake 2 will be launched on 8 major platforms together.

According to the contract, the three TV stations will continue to broadcast 2 episodes from 8 o'clock tonight, except for the suspension of Chinese New Year's Eve and Spring Festival, which will be until the 17th of the first month of next year.

The choice of this time period is also to take a fancy to the Spring Festival, the most important and time-bound festival of the year for all Longguo people.

At that time, migrant workers from all over the country will return to their hometowns to accompany their parents, and the whole family will gather to watch TV and have a reunion dinner.

This will be more conducive to several TV stations to take this opportunity to hit higher ratings.

The difference is that several video sites will only air one episode on the day of the premiere.

It was only the next day that two daily episodes were reinstated, and they were broadcast at a rate that was always one episode behind the TV station.

This was also done to maintain the ratings of the TV station.

......

......

7 p.m. sharp.

The Romance of the Dragon and Snake is a ten-year-old pink penguin group.

The group, which usually doesn't have a few messages a day, is particularly lively today.

"Brothers, the second season starts tonight!"

A screenshot of a video website is attached.

"It's ready."

"I've never opened a membership, so I opened a membership today."

"Turn on the TV for the first time after I bought it!"

......

Mr. Pei was lying on the sofa, eating fruit and playing with his mobile phone.

This is a book friend group created by the author of the Dragon Snake when he first released the book.

At that time, the group was still very lively, with a lot of calves, bragging, asking for extras, sending red envelopes, and putting astringent pictures.

Later, after Zhang Yang finished uploading the original book at one time, the group gradually fell silent.

It wasn't until the official release of the Dragon and Snake live-action drama that this penguin group returned to its peak moment again, as long as you don't watch it for a minute, 99+ unread messages will immediately appear.

As the top few fans of the original book, Mr. Pei was fortunate to become the administrator of the group.

Seeing that many people in the group were blowing water and posting pictures, Pei Qian was very happy.

It had been a long time since he had seen this group so lively.

As a watermelon executive, Pei has a lot of salary, and when he saw that the discussion in the group was so hot, he sent a 100 yuan red envelope in it on a whim.

As soon as the red envelope came out.

In less than 20 seconds, it is emptied in an instant.

"You guys, your hands are really fast!"

"The boss is magnificent."

"Boss, one more."

......

A red envelope instantly raised the atmosphere in the group again.

Many of the group members who were diving on the screen were also blown up.

"I feel like I'm missing out on 100 million."

"Wrong 100 million +1."

"ヾ(≧▽≦*)oI'm the king of luck."

"One more"

The speed of swiping messages in the group is a little faster.

Seeing this situation, Mr. Pei sent a message.

"Brothers, the second season will be launched tonight, and everyone will come out to watch the drama together."

Subsequently, he sent a red envelope again.

Really.

Red envelopes are everything.

"Huh? Got a red envelope? ”

Zhang Yang happened to be playing with his mobile phone.

When he published the book, he used a new account and created a pen name for the original author of the original book in his previous life.

So he is also in this group, and now he sees that there are red envelopes, and his hand speed is extremely fast and he grabs 4.3.

"Thank you for supporting the Romance of the Dragon and Snake."

took the red envelope, and Zhang Yang sent a word of thanks by the way.

"The magic machine is coming!"

"The magic is great, do you still write a new book?"

......

In an instant, a lot of divers appeared.

Messages are constantly updated.

Mr. Pei's mobile phone 'Dididi' kept ringing.

[This B, I haven't released a new book for a long time. 】

Seeing that the original author was blown up, Mr. Pei secretly sighed.

As one of his favorite novelists, Dream into the Divine Machine has uploaded a lot of works this year, and after passing a copy of "Until the Point of the Road", it completely disappeared.

I didn't expect to be blown up by a red envelope of myself today.

"Thank you for your support."

Dream into the god machine said a few words in the group, and then dived again and didn't know where to go.

But the group is still lively, and many people are still swiping the screen.

Mr. Pei picked up his mobile phone and glanced at the time, and it was already 7.30 minutes.

"Why haven't you come yet?"

Today, his wife took her son back to her parents' house, and he himself was still at home because of the busy company affairs near the end of the year.

However, as an old migrant worker who has the essence of fishing.

Pei Qian had already made an excuse, deliberately got off work early, and invited a few good friends who had not yet had a holiday to come to the house to wait to watch the new drama together.

Like him, these friends love to read novels, and they all have a soft spot for the book Romance of the Dragon and Snake.

"It's all about to start."

Pei Qian was a little anxious.

Seeing that Dragon Snake 2 is about to start in half an hour, several rounds of trailers have already been shown on TV during the commercial break, but they haven't arrived yet.

Nothing will be delayed, right?

"Jingle bells."

The doorbell rang suddenly.

Pei Qian came to the cat's eye to see that it was his friend.

Several people had already arrived outside the door, and Pei Qian hurriedly opened the door to welcome the guests.

Seeing that several people were carrying a lot of food and drink in their hands, including vegetables, wine, fruits, etc., Pei Qian couldn't help but complain: "Why do you still bring so many things, I'm ready." ”

Everyone rushed in, and looked at the coffee table in the living room, and it was indeed full of things, eating and drinking, everything.

One of the friends piled up the bag of barbecue he was carrying on it, and then lay on the sofa casually and said, "It's okay, everyone eats while watching the drama, and it's easy to solve it." ”

The other person raised a dozen beers in his hand and shook them at him, and said with a smile: "Yes, everyone has been busy, and I haven't been together for a long time, so eat more today, don't be afraid." ”

"Alright, hurry, let's get started."

Mr. Pei also felt that it made sense, and it happened that the TV was about to start, so he no longer cared about these trivial matters.

Friends got together, chatted a few words about the current situation, and after eating something, everyone turned to the upcoming Dragon Snake 2.

A friend with a barbecue cleaned a lamb skewer in one bite, and asked curiously: "I read on the Internet that this drama invested 600 million, is it really fake?" ”

"That's right, Lao Pei, you are the senior management of Watermelon Video, and it is rumored on the Internet that Zhang Yang has cooperated with you, you should know the news."

Several others were also curious about the issue.

With such a big investment, there is only one TV series in Dragon Kingdom.

Mr. Pei took a sip of wine and said proudly: "It must be true, I have seen that document with my own eyes, and it is really 600 million." ”

A friend exclaimed: "Amazing, what kind of drama should it be if 600 million is filmed?" There seems to be no drama in China that has had such a high investment. ”

"Those dramas in the past can't be compared with Dragon and Snake 2!"

Pei Qian blushed and explained: "I went to see the shooting site, all kinds of props are real objects, not the kind of fake things that can only be seen, and for some plots, special scenes are specially created, and even the crew deliberately went abroad to shoot in order to perfectly restore the plot in the original work." ”

"Hearing you say that, I feel a lot of anticipation." A friend longed for it.

"And that's not all." Mr. Pei was mysterious: "Let me tell you, the special effects of this drama are also very good, using CG technology, a few minutes of video footage will cost hundreds or even tens of millions." ”

"it!"

"I've only seen this kind of technology used in some big-budget movies, and there are some CG videos of games, and I've never seen a TV series."

Friends were amazed, and they were all a little unbelievable.

Some of them are also engaged in the film and television industry, so they naturally know how expensive the related technology is, and many dramas in Dragon Kingdom simply don't have the funds to do it.

Mr. Pei made the final decision: "So, this drama is really very good, and all the 600 million yuan has been spent, otherwise so many platforms will not rush to ask for it, you will know when you watch it." ”

Everyone chatted and chatted, and the time slowly came to 8 o'clock.

Mango Channel was playing on the TV at this time.

As a commercial ended, a song with a rousing tune that made people feel uplifted and enthusiastic after listening to it.

Dragon Snake 2 has finally started playing.

The plot of the second season continues from the end of the first season.

At the beginning, Zhang Wei fell into the sea.

The next 2 episodes mainly tell the story of Wang Chao who went to Shandong to establish a Laoshan inner family boxing gym under the order of Captain Cao, competed with the dwarf people, met Liao Junhua and Dai Jun, the three tigers of Guangdong, and then killed Ye Xuan, a genius boy from the dwarf country.

In these 2 episodes, insiders can see that this drama is well-made, the cost is huge, and it is indeed as true as the news on the Internet says.

It's not just about good graphics, good special effects, and good sound.

But many details can be seen.

For example, some of the background buildings that appear in it do not exist in reality, but they do exist in the series, and they are not made through special effects, but real buildings specially built for the filming of this scene.

Also, some of the cars, guns, martial arts training equipment and other props that appear in the play are all expensive.

Especially the vehicles, all of which are really rented luxury sports cars, just to highlight the identity of the supporting characters in the play, the price alone is more than tens of thousands of yuan a day.

Also, several supporting actors.

Judging by the original.

Several supporting roles appeared in these two episodes, and there were very few later appearances.

However, the actors who played them were actually a few popular big stars in the past few years.

Although they are not so popular now, they still have a group of loyal fans, and the appearance fee is still in the tens of millions.

However, the dragon and snake crew was invited to perform just a few episodes.

It's really willing to spend money.

Where do other crews dare to spend so much money?

It's not money!

is also publicized and has systematic support, and has deep pockets, so he doesn't care at all.

From the small to the big, everything is often seen from the details.

Through these inconspicuous things, the audience can naturally see in their hearts how powerful the drama Dragon Snake 2 is, which can be said to completely surpass all the TV series currently being broadcast.

During this period, Dragon Snake 2 occupied one file, and the rest of the TV series went to the back row.

"That's amazing."

Two episodes in a row, with only a commercial of less than 3 minutes in between.

Rao is so, and it is already past 10 o'clock in the evening.

A few people did not disperse, and they were still discussing at Pei Qian's house.

"I thought that the first season had been filmed, surpassing more than 80% of domestic TV series, but I didn't expect that the second season was the real king bomb, this publicity is too fierce."

One of his friends, after reading it, was so excited that he even burst an empty beer can.

This friend is not only a fan of the original Dragon and Snake, but also a practitioner in the film and television industry.

After watching it with his professional eyes, he couldn't stop praising it: "I haven't watched this kind of good TV series in the past ten years, no wonder I heard that this drama has sold billions of dollars and has been robbed by dozens of platforms." ”

Pei Qian was also a little shocked: "Yes, I didn't believe the scene at that time when I heard the description of the company's boss, I only deliberately bragged, but now that I see it, I know that what I said is true." ”

Fu Yiming came back to describe the scene of the crazy robbery to him, at that time he really thought that the other party was bragging, and after watching the first two episodes today, I have to admit that those things are likely to be real.

A few people chatted a few more words, and the scene ended late at night.
