On July 6, 2015, when Chen Jing and Yang Mi were busy promoting "Monster Hunt", the first online drama "Heartless Mage" invested by Crystal Entertainment also officially landed on Sohu.

As a "three-no" online self-made drama with no super IP, no big-name stars, and no landing satellite TV, "Heartless Mage" was not very valued by the media and the audience before it was broadcast.

However, "Heartless Mage" not only gained a high reputation after it was launched, but the song selection and acting skills of the actors in the series were also unanimously affirmed by netizens.

"Heartless Mage" ignited the audience's enthusiasm not only because Yue Qiluo is evil or fierce, but more importantly, because it is realized as a high standard of horror drama with Chinese characteristics.

The fundamental reason why the villainist Yue Qiluo is obsessed with revenge on normal human beings is that he is addicted to the experience of life, trying to taste the various states of life in the process of constantly giving up.

The Heartless Mage, on the other hand, is naturally "Heartless", similar to the American drama "The Immortal Forensic Doctor", and the story itself does not explain how they obtained this endowment.

However, they have to suffer in a negative life, and righteousness is not enough to replace the confusion of identity.

is different from the previous fantasy dramas that pretended to be ghosts, "Heartless Mage" really tells its ghostly world.

The Republic of China is a chaotic era, which in itself is an abnormal state of existence, and the chaos in the world brought about by the warlord melee is actually no less harmful than the evil spirit.

In the chaotic world, ghosts and ghosts travel during the day, and they can suck blood and eat people without hooking their teeth and sawing teeth.

"Heartless Mage" appeared in such a chaotic era, and hunting demons is a job that has no intention of making a living, because otherwise he will have to starve.

Maybe this is the cold humor of reality, although we are not mages, each of us has to rely on a certain job to survive, and Wuxin is no exception, work is the way of being.

Yue Qiluo exchanged his soul for immortality with peerless spells, but he could no longer integrate into the lives of ordinary people, whether it was the love with Duan Saburo in the previous life, or the entanglement with Zhang Xianzong in this life, it could only end in tragedy.

Ordinary people are one spirit and body, and Yue Qiluo, who only has a soul left, obviously can't love like ordinary people, although in her love with Duan Sanlang, she once had a physical body.

However, this body did not really belong to her, and her soul was not bound by this fragile body.

However, as an ordinary person, Duan Saburo could not be free from the constraints of his physical body and the world, and he could not bear the pressure of the outside world, so in the face of betrayal, Yue Qiluo could only end this love in the end.

And although Zhang Xianzong is willing to give up everything for him, including his soul, Zhang Xianzong, who has lost himself, is not the love that Yue Qiluo longs for.

Yue Qiluo's "life" has a high degree of self-consciousness and expectation, "should be seen in the paintings of others", and her worldly love for the secular Zhang Xianzong is limited to use, and she must be a match for the Wuxin Master in terms of spiritual appeal.

As for the scene similar to "Inception", she tried to snatch away the crescent moon of the human woman in her dream, of course, with the intention of using her body to realize and unintentional pleasure.

The immortality of the heartless body is as beyond the realm of ordinary people as the immortality of Yue Qiluo's soul, and the biggest obstacle to the heartless body is also the inability to truly integrate into the human race.

The two of them could not be united either, because the union would either become two demons isolated from the human world, or they would merge into one and return to the ordinary world, but neither of them was what they wanted.

Yue Qiluo, who has become a demon, and Wuxin, who is immortal, are both thirsting for love, because love is the antidote to non-human beings here, and only in the instantaneous space of love can the demon or mage really return to the emotional realm of human beings.

"Heartless Mage" is a fantasy story about demons, but it is also a reflection on love in the troubled times of the Republic of China, and behind all kinds of demons is the aesthetic pursuit of love.

"Heartless Mage" was popular with the audience as soon as it was launched, and the reason for this was threefold.

First, the subject matter is fresh. In fact, there have been legends about ghosts in China since ancient times, but you can't see them on TV now, so the theme of "Heartless Mage" has become fresh and exciting.

For this reason, it has also attracted many audiences who love this theme.

The second is that the actor has a good look. Han Dongjun, Jin Chen, Chen Yao, and Zhang Ruoyun's appearance is very online, especially with the addition of roles, it has attracted a lot of Yan Gou.

The third is that the special effects of the show are very amazing, if you want to say that the special effects of the blockbuster are comparable to Hollywood, it must be bragging, but compared with other TV series, it is indeed well-made.

The total investment of "Heartless Mage" is only 40 million, and the special effects of it cost 8 million, accounting for one-fifth of the total investment, which shows the conscience of the crew and the ambition of the producer.

is also because they are all rookie actors and have low salaries, so that the crew has enough money to pile up on special effects, after all, special effects are things that you get for every penny.

Of course, although they are newcomers, the performances of several leading actors still conquered many audiences.

The investor is willing to spend money on special effects, and the plot is solid enough, in order to make "Heartless Mage" a well-known IP.

Now IP is known to everyone in the circle, and everyone is actively buying and hoarding IP, hoping to make a hit.

After all, too many IPs have exploded, which has also made the price of IP, especially well-known IPs, soar, and many writers have become multimillionaires directly!

Crystal Entertainment, Sugar People and Sohu have teamed up to create "Heartless Mage", which is long enough, hoping to produce a new well-known IP.

For this reason, even if the first season does not make money, as long as there is a good reputation, then "Heartless Mage" will be considered a success, and as for making money, it will be a matter of the remaining seasons.

In fact, as the investors imagined, "Heartless Mage" scored a high score of 9.0 on the comic as soon as it was launched, and the audience's evaluation was almost all positive.

And the number of views of "Heartless Mage" has also increased over time.

Obviously, "Heartless Mage" has become a word-of-mouth hit drama and a great success!

At the same time, the success also brought income, relying on copyright fees and advertising shares, the three investors all made a fortune.

And the second and even third seasons are the time to really make a big profit.

……

On the third day after the launch of "Heartless Mage", "Small Times 4" starring Yang Mi, Mei Na, Xiaodi, and Tianai was also the last part of the series to land in major theaters across the country.

This series with a terrible reputation, but a box office hit, the fourth part is still quite expected by theaters.

As a result, in the first week of its release, "Small Times 4" won a box office of 364 million yuan amid a lot of scolding, and won the weekly box office championship strongly.

The second place is also a bad movie, the youth film "Gardenia Blossom" directed by He Jiong, which also won a box office of 258 million yuan.

Two bad movies occupy the top two on the list, and it can only be said that fans are crazy.

Unlike in the previous life, "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage", which was supposed to be released in the same week, was arranged by Chen Jing in the first week of August.

Its main purpose is to avoid "Monster Hunt" in mid-July, to avoid Crystal Entertainment's left-handed and right-handed hitting, and at the same time to give "The Return of the Great Sage" a better schedule.

Obviously, Chen Jing has high hopes for the upgraded conditions of "The Return of the Great Sage".

……

On July 12, 2015, the fantasy masterpiece "Monster Hunt" starring Chen Jing and Yang Mi officially held the opening ceremony of Shengda at the Olympic Sports Center in the imperial capital.

"Tired or not?" Chen Jing looked at Yang Mi's pretty face and asked.

Yang Mi smiled when she saw Chen Jing's concerned face, "It's okay, don't be nervous." ”

During this period, Chen Jing accompanied Yang Mi to the hospital, and found that Yang Mi had been pregnant for more than a month, and she also listened to the doctor's advice on many precautions.

Fortunately, the doctor also recommended not to lie down every day to give birth, and to need a moderate amount of activity, which also made Yang Mi fearless.

However, Yang Mi did not participate in the premiere and promotion of "Small Times 4", because Yang Mi knew that the main controller had reduced the investment share of Crystal Entertainment.

Yang Mi did this on purpose, wanting to vent her anger for Chen Jing!

"Alright, it's our turn, let's go!" Chen Jing smiled and stretched out her arm.

Yang Mi stepped on Chen Jing's arm and stepped on the red carpet together!

"Boss Chen, this way, this way!"

"Mimi, here!"

"Mr. and Mrs. Crystal Honey!"

……

As soon as the two stepped on the red carpet, they attracted the attention of all media reporters, and they took pictures of the two of them.

Because of the strong lineup and publicity of "Monster Hunt", more than 100 media came to attend the premiere of the film today.

Chen Jing and Yang Mi also cooperated with media reporters to take pictures.

However, Chen Jing always pays attention to cooperating with Yang Mi, for fear of accidents.

Feeling Chen Jing's caution, Yang Mi couldn't help but laugh arrogantly, as happy as she wanted.

"Okay, let's go, it's not good to shoot too much." Chen Jing leaned into Yang Mi's ear and said.

When Yang Mi heard this, she immediately raised her feet and left, "Really? ”

"I don't know, that's how it feels." Chen Jing said.

"Haha......" Yang Mi laughed when she heard this, "I feel that you are more nervous than me, and you are a little stupid." ”

Chen Jing rolled her eyes at Yang Mi, and carefully helped her into the venue together.

"Boss Chen, Mimi!" Xu Yicheng saw the two and immediately stepped forward.

"Director Xu!"

"Director Xu is good!"

The three of them were polite for a while, and then began to greet the guests who came to help today.

It's really not a blow to say that "Monster Hunt" has attracted the attention of the media, the industry, and the theater chain, just look at the guests who came today.

The main creators of the crew of "Monster Hunt", in addition to Chen Jing and Yang Mi, Zhong Hanliang, Yao Cheng, Tang Wei, Jiang Wu, Jin Yanni, Wang Yuexin, Guo Xiaodong, Yan Ni, Wu Junru, Zeng Xiaozi, etc., can be called an all-star lineup.

Also coming to help were Wu Jing, Deng Chao, Mei Na, Tian Ai, Xiao Di, Yang Yang, Lin Hexin, He Jiong, Tianbao, Huang Bo, Li Lianhua, Gao Yuanyuan, Jia Zhangke, Cao Baoping, and Wang Xiaoshuai.

In addition, there are Lu Zheng, Chen Sicheng, Yaya, Feng Shaofeng, Yu Haoming, Liu Zhenyun, Wu Mochou and so on.

A red carpet show, comparable to the scene of the awards ceremony.

After everyone entered, the premiere of "Monster Hunt" officially began.

After the host warmed up, he said loudly, "The world premiere press conference of "Monster Hunt" and the listing ceremony of Global Monster Hunt Co., Ltd. were grandly opened.

First of all, we invited Xu Yicheng, the CEO of the demon hunting company, Chen Jing, Yang Mi, and the demon king Huba to come to the stage. ”

Xu Yicheng, Chen Jing and Yang Mi took the stage and caused bursts of applause, and when Hu Ba from Feidu appeared, the scene immediately laughed, Hu Ba looked very cute and cute.

"First of all, let's tell us about the listing experience of "Monster Hunt"!" The moderator said.

Xu Yicheng sighed when he heard this, "In a word, the process is painful, and the result is beautiful!" ”

As the "father of Shrek", Xu Yicheng and his angel investor Jiang Zhiqiang sharpened their swords for seven years to build Global Monster Hunt Co., Ltd. and successfully listed it.

Especially after twists and turns in the middle, along the way, it is indeed a lot of emotion.

"Boss Chen, how do you feel about filming "Monster Hunt"?" Moderator Q&A.

Hearing this, Chen Jing directly looked at Yang Mi and Hu Ba and said with a smile, "I have gained a lot from catching demons and starting a business, not only do I have a career, but the biggest gain is that I have my wife and children!" ”

Chen Jing's words are indeed very sincere, but everyone only thinks that Chen Jing is for propaganda and is joking.

Only Yang Mi, who noticed the difference in Chen Jing's gaze, smiled, thinking to herself Except for me, it is estimated that no one present can understand your true meaning!

Yang Mi then said, "Yes, it's not easy to catch demons along the way, but in the end, it's complete, I found my own Ruyi Langjun, and the two of us have a lovely child." ”

After speaking, Chen Jing and Yang Mi looked at each other and smiled, hugging Huba from left to right, with an expression of "everything is enough".

"The monster hunting company can be listed, and the two of them seem to have contributed a lot!" The moderator asked.

Chen Jing smiled when she heard this, "I think the most difficult thing for the monster hunting company to be listed is our family and his son Huba." ”

Yang Mi couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile after hearing this, this kind of show of affection that only the two of them know, is so fun and exciting!

】

Chen Jing glanced at Yang Mi, who was snickering, and also laughed, "I haven't been a mother, I don't know, it's really not easy to have a child, of course, all the hard work is worth it, now I want when to have a second child." ”

"Second child?" Yang Mi was stunned when she heard this.

"That's right, the first child is a son, and the second child has a daughter, how good it is to make up a good word." Chen Jing smiled, "What, don't you want to give birth to me?" ”

"Oh......"

"One more!"

"Hahaha......"

……

Everyone in the audience coaxed one after another, asking Yang Mi to give Chen Jing another one.

Yang Mi couldn't help laughing when he heard this, he knew that Chen Jing was not joking, but really wanted to give him another one, but everyone in the audience definitely didn't know.

"Birth one!"

"Birth one!"

Everyone also watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal, so they coaxed one after another.

Seeing this, Yang Mi looked at Chen Jing with a smile, "You will be born, as long as you want, I will give you a football team!" ”

"Hahaha......"

"Oh......"

Everyone laughed, feeling worthy of being Jingmi and his wife, and it was the most interesting to watch the two of them publicize.

Chen Jing looked at Yang Mi with a smile, "Give birth to a football team?" Are you treating me like a donkey, or are you treating yourself like a pig? ”

"Hahaha......"

Hearing this, Yang Mi directly raised her leg and gave Chen Jing a kick.

Chen Jing didn't dare to resist, and took it hard, of course, it didn't hurt.

"You say, do you want to give birth?" Yang Mi asked.

"Want, want, want!" Chen Jing surrendered, "It's not enough to have a football team alone, let's have a basketball team again!" ”

"Appeal ......"

"Oh......"
