Chapter 141: Blue is better than blue
Because the episodes of "Mountains and Seas" are not long, the frequency of updates is two days a week on fixed weekends.
After the premiere, "Mountains and Seas" was updated with five episodes.
Originally, whether it was the ratings or the broadcast data on station G, it didn't look ideal.
But after the opening of the Ziah Petal Network, with a very high reputation, this tribute drama gradually began to come out of the circle.
"Go and see it, although it's a tribute drama, it's really good-looking!"
"Splash, my splash, cry to death!"
"The acting skills of the actors in this drama are simply amazing!"
"Remember to watch the dialect version, the dialect has improved the charm of this show too much!"
......
There is too much tap water, and from time to time you can see netizens in Amway's drama "Mountains and Seas".
Many people who didn't plan to watch this show before also ran to watch it out of curiosity.
It is in this situation that with word of mouth, the broadcast volume of "Mountains and Seas" on Station G began to soar gradually.
Soon, it went from less than 10 million to more than 100 million!
And it's still growing rapidly.
Don't look at the broadcast volume of only 100 million, but in less than a week, this can already be regarded as a hit drama.
What's more, this is still a serious drama.
Because of the subject matter, the playback data of "Mountains and Seas" must not be able to reach the level of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy I" and "The Best of Us" before Xu Ji.
However, you can't compare it with such a gift drama with the theme of poverty alleviation.
Compared with the previous gift dramas that no one cared about, the popularity of "Mountains and Seas" can indeed be described as an explosion.
......
In addition, in fact, the most widely circulated on the Internet is still the crying scenes in the play.
Many people took this clip and posted it.
As a result, many passers-by who didn't pay attention to the score of this drama with a score of more than 9 fell into the pit because of this clip.
Zhu Zinan watched his Weite fans rise from more than 100,000 to more than 700,000 in less than a week, and the whole person was a little incredible.
You must know that she has actually been in the industry for a long time, but the number of fans of Weite has not risen so exaggeratedly.
The one that rose the most before was a supporting role she played in a certain drama with few scenes, because the character's makeup was good and Zhu Zinan was very beautiful, the number of fans rose by more than 40,000 after the whole drama was broadcast.
Compared with Zhu Zinan, Ran Bai, who played the male protagonist Ma Defu, only had more than 100,000 fans.
It's not enough, which also doubles the number of Ran Bai's Weite fans.
After all, in the previous episodes of this show, Splash is still a touching character.
After the whole drama is broadcast, it is only a matter of time before the two of them have more than one million Weite fans.
......
For many companies and artists in the entertainment industry, what they value more is the director Xu Ji behind the two.
You must know that this is still a tribute drama, but Xu Ji can still make many actors out of the circle and increase their fans.
It seems that this is the style of Xu Ji's dramas, and each drama can make some actors popular.
And it doesn't matter if it's a supporting role or a starring role.
It was like that before.
"The Best of Us" is not only the popularity of the two male and female protagonists, Ji Yiyang and She Yue.
Even many of the supporting characters in it are remembered.
And it's the same in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy I".
This kind of director who can make one or two actors popular in every drama is also very rare in the entertainment industry.
The most important thing is that Xu Ji seems to mainly use actors from his own company in filming.
This can be seen from the "Tongji Entertainment Contracted Actors" certified by Ran Bai and Zhu Zinan.
Because of this, Tongji Entertainment, which was thought to be predicted by most people to insist on going out of business soon, has now become an entertainment company that many artists want to join.
......
"Someone else has come to contact."
"This time I'm still a second-tier actor."
"Said the contract was about to expire, and asked if you could come to us."
You Man said to Xu Ji.
"We will use our company's official account to wind up Weite, saying that we have no plans to sign new artists for the time being."
Xu Ji replied casually.
These actors who took the initiative to find them, Xu Ji did not plan to sign.
At least when he is not short of actors now, he has no plans to sign a newcomer for the time being.
If it is suitable, Xu Ji will take the initiative to invite it.
"The post-production of 'The Beginning' is estimated to be completed soon."
"Sister Man, you contact in advance to see if you are interested in the copyright of this drama."
You Man already knew the news and nodded.
"By the way, "I Am a Songwriter" should be broadcast tomorrow."
"The agent arranged for him by Kong Cheng has already gone."
"It is estimated that there will be a lot of commercial performance invitations in the future, will you accept it?"
After hearing this, Xu Ji replied: "Respect Kong Cheng's own decision." ”
"Even if you don't pick up, it's fine."
"But there's still going to be money to be made after all."
"Tell his agent that he should try to suggest that he take on some commercial performances with larger specifications."
"But in the end, it's his own idea."
Kong Cheng is an amateur, after this episode of "I Am a Songwriter" is broadcast, his popularity will definitely explode.
This is to be expected.
And Xu Ji also wanted to observe Kong Cheng's performance.
If the other party then overdraws his popularity in order to make money and frantically takes on commercial performances,
Some of Xu Ji's follow-up songs may be considered not singing to him anymore.
......
The second episode of "I Am a Songwriter" has been waiting for a long time.
And at this time, it finally ushered in the time of broadcasting.
Although more than half a month has passed since the broadcast of the first episode, the popularity of the show has still not decreased.
Peng Juan, who went to work in the capital for seven or eight years after graduation, was already past ten o'clock in the evening after squeezing the subway home for more than an hour after getting off work.
And this is also the reason why although "Mountains and Seas" has been on the air recently, although Peng Juan is very interested, she still hasn't gone to watch it.
She knows that the show is wonderful and has a high rating.
I also brushed the crying scene where the water splashed inside, and even the infected ones shed tears.
But she still has no plans to chase the drama.
Because after a day's work, people are so tired that they don't want to watch film and television dramas, let alone such a drama.
There are many people like her, which is also the reason why the upper limit of the drama "Mountains and Seas" is only a high-quality drama.
Even if many people know that this movie is very good, they still won't chase it because of the subject matter.
In contrast, Peng Juan prefers to use variety shows to pass the time.
Because variety shows look relaxed, and you don't have to think about the plot or anything.
Lying on the bed, Peng Juan remembered today's update of "I Am a Songwriter", thought about it, and still planned to watch it.
Peng Juan likes Sha Yetong's song "There Are So Many People in This World" in the last issue, and the single has been looped for a long time.
Maybe this show can also bring her some surprises.
......
As soon as the show began, the results of the votes for the previous episode began to be announced.
"It must not be Xu Ji's first [dog head]"
"The support rate of "So Many People in This World" has reached more than 40%, which feels like there is nothing to guess!"
"The program team probably didn't expect that this link would be so suspenseless."
......
Like the barrage at this time, Peng Juan was not surprised that Xu Ji could win.
But when she saw Jiang Yu being eliminated and leaving in disgrace, Peng Juan couldn't help laughing.
Netizens also began to ridicule one after another.
"Good guy, let people come, just to notify the eliminated?"
"Jiang Yu: ?"
"I came to record the second issue, but I only showed one side, and I really left directly?"
......
If Jiang Yu's elimination just made netizens feel that Jiang Yu was a bit miserable, then when director Mo Jianwen announced the rules of the second issue, he couldn't hold back at all.
"Hahaha, only the first phase needs to be eliminated, right?"
"Jiang Yu: I feel like I've been targeted, but we have evidence."
"This second issue starts to be a game of cumulative votes, which means that only the first issue will eliminate the songwriters?"
......
Peng Juan also laughed with joy.
Jiang Yu contracted her to watch the jokes of this show.
Seeing Jiang Yu being eliminated at this time, Peng Juan was even a little reluctant, and always had the idea of wanting to see him being targeted by the program team for a few more episodes.
This was followed by the singing of seven amateur singers, and then the selection of four songwriters.
But when she saw the flashing footage, Peng Juan said "huh".
One of the contestants just now, she always felt like she had seen it somewhere.
When Kong Cheng came to power, Peng Juan recognized it.
"Kong Cheng?"
Peng Juan felt a little incredible.
repeatedly determined that the singer on the stage was the Kong Cheng he knew.
That was about two years ago.
At that time, Peng Juan had always had a habit of going to a small bar near her home to drink and relax alone on weekends.
It was there that she met Kong Cheng.
Kong Cheng, who was a little embarrassed, seemed to have begged for a long time before the boss agreed to pay 200 yuan for him to perform for one night.
After that, the boss found that the effect was not bad, so Kong Cheng would perform in the bar from time to time.
came and went, Peng Juan, as a frequent customer, sometimes spent money to order songs, but she got to know each other.
When no one orders a song, Kong Cheng will sing some songs that Peng Juan likes.
Peng Juan's visits to bars have also changed from once a week to several times a week.
Sometimes she comes back early from work, and she comes over.
and figured out the time when Kong Cheng came to sing every week, and specially picked Kong Cheng to come when he was there.
Occasionally bring Kong Cheng some snacks or something.
But suddenly one day, when Peng Juan came to the bar again, she found that the person who sang had changed.
replaced with a handsome boy who was much younger than Kong Cheng.
"Kong Cheng?"
"He won't sing anymore if he has something."
The bar owner replied casually.
But Peng Juan heard the waiter whisper to her that the boss thought Kong Cheng was too ordinary and unattractive.
Simply replaced with a young and handsome young man.
At that time, Kong Cheng took the initiative to reduce the performance fee, but the boss still did not agree.
The new singer Peng Juan doesn't like it, although he looks young and handsome, but he doesn't sing as sincere as Kong Cheng did at the beginning.
After that, she hasn't been to the little bar again
Kong Cheng sang in that bar for more than four months, and the two knew each other, and they would talk a lot every time they came.
But they all tacitly understood each other and did not go further.
Later, Peng Juan thought that maybe she should give the other party a contact information to further understand each other.
But then I think it's good, at least that memory is happy, and there are no bad memories left.
The city of Beijing always makes people take care of themselves, everyone tacitly understands not to cause trouble to others, but also does not want others to bring trouble to themselves.
Peng Juan sighed in her heart.
But at this time, I felt happy to see Kong Cheng appear on this show.
Happy for the man who begged the boss for 200 yuan to let him perform.
"Xu Ji actually chose Kong Cheng?"
When she saw Xu Ji's choice in the show, Peng Juan was a little surprised.
After all, Xu Ji's songs are basically what she likes.
If Xu Ji writes a song for Kong Cheng, the other party may really be popular.
But at this time, the barrage is not very understandable to Xu Ji's choice.
"I think this singing voice is average, why did Xu Ji choose him first?"
"I don't have any memory points, and it's too late for Xu Jixuan to regret it."
"I thought Xu Ji would choose that Feng Zhenghao, but I didn't expect to choose this person."
......
It's finally time for the official performance.
Peng Juan didn't really want to continue watching the performances of these singers at this time.
She just wants to see Kong Cheng sing.
So it kept fast-forwarding.
finally arrived at Kong Cheng, who appeared at the end.
"Ideal: How old are you this year?"
"You always seduce young friends"
"You always thank you and open and surprise me"
"Let me sink into a life of disappointment again"
When she heard Kong Cheng on the stage singing the song "Ideal", Peng Juan somehow burst into tears.
......
After the second episode of "I Am a Songwriter" was broadcast, the popularity even overtook a certain singer who said that he was about to release a new album.
The song "Ideal" is directly on the top of Weite's hot search.
It has resonated with countless social animal netizens.
Especially those who are drifting in Beijing.
Kong Cheng looked at Weite after he had just registered and certified, and the number of fans rose wildly, and in a blink of an eye, it had already exceeded 100,000, and there were those comments that boasted of himself, and he suddenly had a feeling of unreality.
He sent a micro-message.
While thanking Xu Ji, he responded to the enthusiastic netizens.
Below this micro-special, it is all praise for him.
"It's a good song. Xu Ji's choice was indeed correct. ”
"Listen to crying, this is a very good song, and you are also a very good singer."
"I feel like listening to this song is like seeing my past self, and I really like it!"
Kong Cheng also met the enthusiasm of so many people for the first time, and he didn't know what to do for a while, so he could only reply to the comments of these netizens one by one.
"I want to thank Mr. Xu Xi for choosing me."
"Thank you for liking, I'll do my best."
"Let's do it together!"
......
But suddenly there was a comment, which made Kong Cheng stunned for a moment.
Unlike other comments made by netizens who were all praising him or being moved by the song, this comment only had three simple words: "Congratulations".
But he suddenly remembered that when he was in the capital, there was someone he knew who also liked to say these three words.
It's like a mantra.
Whenever I excitedly tell the other party which performance I received, I would hear that person also happily high-five him, and said with a smile: "Congratulations!" ”
......
When the second episode of "I Am a Songwriter" was broadcast, "Mountains and Seas" also ushered in the premiere for a whole week.
At this time, the number of broadcasts of "Mountains and Seas" on station G has exceeded the 150 million mark.
And it has brought nearly 500,000 paid members to Station G.
Judging from the current popularity of "Mountains and Seas", the total number of broadcasts of this drama after the broadcast in the future will definitely exceed 500 million.
Moreover, such film and television dramas with more than 9 points will bring a steady stream of benefits to the website.
Especially a website like Station G that lacks film and television resources.
In short, this wave of Chi Jiang's bold bet won again.
At the same time, after the second week of the broadcast of "Mountains and Seas", the ratings of the official station have also increased to 0.8%, and the next day it exceeded 1%.
Beijing, Television and Radio Bureau.
Duan Shengyu is very satisfied with the results of "Mountains and Seas".
Although it can't catch up with those so-called hit dramas.
But this is also a tribute drama with such a high degree of popularity that has not appeared for many years.
"Hey, old Duan?"
Duan Shengyu picked up the phone, and a neutral male voice came from the phone.
He said with a wary expression:
"Old chief, is there something wrong with me?"
"Let's talk about it first, don't even think about my wine, the rest is good to discuss."
After hearing Duan Shengyu's words on the other end of the phone, he smiled:
"What kind of person am I talking about?"
"Not for the wine!"
"I just watched the tribute drama called "Mountains and Seas" that you filmed this time."
"Good shot!"
Duan Shengyu was not surprised to hear this, at the beginning, the person on the other end of the phone had also participated in poverty alleviation work.
I guess I watched "Mountains and Seas" and remembered some of the past.
"It's really a good shot, and I didn't expect Xu Ji, a young director, to give me such a surprise."
Duan Shengyu opened his mouth and praised.
After hearing Duan Shengyu's words on the other side, he said in a serious tone:
"I just need to work with such a young director."
"I don't think anything worse than those veteran directors."
"A "Mountains and Seas" is worthy of countless propaganda slogans."
"Such young people should still be taken care of, and if they can give the green light to preferential places, don't deliberately embarrass them."
Duan Shengyu was also a little surprised when he heard the other party's words.
He still rarely heard from this man's mouth that he was going to take special care of everyone.
But even if he doesn't say anything about this old chief, he will actually take care of Xu Ji.
Otherwise, this time I would not have used the relationship specifically to let these official media help broadcast and promote "Mountains and Seas".
"Understood."
Duan Shengyu replied without hesitation.
......
A week after the launch of "Mountains and Seas", the drama "The Beginning" was finally completed in post-production.
At this time, Pang Er felt a little embarrassed when he looked at Xu Ji.
"Director Xu, I didn't expect it to be officially completed now."
Mainly because at that time, even he felt that the drama "The Beginning" was likely to be completed before Xu Ji's "Mountains and Seas".
But what he didn't expect was that because of the reason for excellence, it would take so long to complete the shooting.
What's more, Xu Ji's speed is much faster than he thought.
The filming environment of "Mountains and Seas" is determined by various factors, and it must take longer to shoot than "The Beginning".
But in this case, Xu Ji was still finished in front of him.
And it has been a week since "Mountains and Seas" officially launched, and "The Beginning" completed the post-production.
Xu Ji didn't mind this at all.
"It's okay if the time is slow, as long as the quality is enough!"
Although Poon is sometimes overly detailed, this matter has been complained by many people.
But after watching the finished film, Xu Ji still felt that the Pang Er he chose was still very reliable.
The degree of completion was much higher than he had imagined.
Even Ji Yiyang and She Yue, who were a little worried about their absence and had problems with their acting skills, actually played extraordinarily.
In terms of actors, after reading the script given by Xu Ji, Pang Er obviously worked hard.
In addition to the two young actors Ji Yiyang and She Yue, the elderly Pang Er is all looking for old actors with excellent acting skills.
There are even some of them who are official actors.
If he hadn't seen the film, Xu Ji wouldn't have known that Pang Er could really invite so many people.
......
"Sister Man, have you made an appointment?"
"Who would like to come?"
Xu Ji opened his mouth and asked You Man.
You Man replied:
"They seem to be quite happy to hear that the company has a new drama."
"It's just that after hearing that you are not a director, I hesitated a little."
"But they all promised to come."
"If you want to make an appointment, it should be around the day after tomorrow."
After hearing You Man's words, Xu Ji nodded.
Then it's tomorrow.
At this time, Pang Er was a little apprehensive.
"Director Xu, but I still feel a little uneasy in my heart."
"What if they hear that the director is me and then they don't buy it?"
"Why don't we change the director to you? I'll just continue to hang up as an assistant director. ”
Hearing Pang Er's words, Xu Ji couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"You're acting like I'm preempting the byline of your work."
Pang Er hurriedly explained: "Director Xu, I didn't mean that. ”
Xu Ji hurriedly stopped the other party who was going to continue.
"Alright, alright."
"Aren't you quite tough on set?"
"Ji Yiyang was treated to death by you."
"Why can't I just watch a film now?"
Ponel replied:
"These are two different things."
Then he approached Xu Ji and whispered:
"Director Xu, to be honest with you, in fact, I pretended to be on the set."
"I'm learning from you."
"Otherwise, I'm afraid that no one in the crew will listen to me."
After Xu Ji heard Pang Er's words, he hurriedly spoke to stop it.
"Damn, you don't dare to talk nonsense!"
"Beware of suing you for slander."
Xu Ji thought of the scene where Pang Er was ruthlessly complained about by Ji Yiyang.
If that kid knew that Pang Er had learned from him, he would probably have to suffer a lot of resentful glances from the other party.
So Xu Ji resolutely did not accept this pot.
"But Director Xu, what I said is true."
"And it works, as soon as I put on a straight face like you on the set, and then yelled twice, Ji Yiyang re-shot it very honestly."
Xu Ji's expression was distorted.
Although he had been teaching Pang Er a lot of things on the set before, he never thought that the other party would learn his temper in this scene.
And it seems......
Is it better to be blue?
......
