Tudou Video's "Youth Like Water" is a bit unexpected.

Before several dramas were launched in August, no one expected that Tudou Video would become the ultimate winner.

Even netizens who guess that the niche theme "Chess Soul" of G station can become the overlord of the summer file are more people than those who think that Tudou Video, a low-cost youth campus drama, can be popular.

But often the market is so unpredictable.

The male and female protagonists of this drama are two second-tier young actors, and their original popularity is not high at all.

In less than a week, Weite's fans have risen by nearly one million.

Facts have proved that although the drama with the theme of youth campus has been filmed to a rotten, it still has an extremely broad audience.

Even if some actors who are not so well-known can be the leading actors, they can unexpectedly become popular.

Potato video won this time.

As for the G station, the performance of "Chess Soul" is a little indescribable.

Although it still has some popularity, the word-of-mouth seems to be a little polarized.

Some people feel that the show itself is limited by the theme of Go, which makes people not interested.

Some people feel that even if they don't understand Go, it doesn't affect the viewing experience, and they can still watch it with relish.

In fact, although the drama "Chess Soul" involves some knowledge of Go, the threshold for watching the movie is really not so high.

Otherwise, it's better to make a documentary.

Originally, it was intended to be filmed for all audiences, not just those who know Go.

So the plot aspect is the focus.

But in terms of the plot, the progress of a week is still a little too slow.

On the contrary, it doesn't have the freshness of watching it at the beginning.

However, this situation did not last long, and soon "Chess Soul" ushered in a major explosion of the plot.

The protagonist Shi used Chu Ying's name to win more than 200 consecutive victories on the Go website.

Let the name Chu Ying return to the world again in this way after more than 300 years.

After that, he began to study in the Yijianghu Dojo and officially became a member of the Chong Duan teenagers.

But without Chu Ying's help, the level of time is still the lowest level in the gym.

However, it has already planted a sense of expectation for the audience, with the time of Chu Ying's help, whether it will be able to succeed in the future.

In addition to the beginning of the plot itself, it slowly unfolds, so the discussion is increasing at the same time.

The evaluation of this drama is also slowly developing in a good direction.

In the past, there has been a slight controversy among some Go enthusiasts about the game of Go in the play.

But the description of the teenager in the rush is still very realistic.

In the eyes of many parents, the recognition of "playing chess for a lifetime" is far less than "going to college and finding a stable and decent job".

Such a situation is indeed the dilemma faced by those who learn Go in Huaxia at present.

......

"Huazi, weren't you interested in "Chess Soul" before?"

"How can you be more active in chasing dramas than us now?"

In a university dormitory, Song Junhua, who was slapped in the face, didn't really care much about his roommate's words.

This drama is really different from other dramas for Song Junhua.

Because he used to be a teenager in Chongduan, he was particularly touched by the plot inside.

Especially at that time, Guang's mother was able to be so reasonable about him taking a leave of absence from school to sign up for the gym, which was indeed a little envious.

I think that at the beginning, it was obviously his parents who asked him to learn Go, but when he failed in the continuous rush, it was they who asked him to give up and come back to the college entrance examination.

As for his own wishes, no one respected them at all.

Before watching this drama, Song Junhua was actually very resistant.

But as this week came to catch up with the update, I became a fan of this show.

From some of the characters in it, he saw the shadow of himself in the past.

Of course, the reality is definitely going to be more brutal.

Not every teenager in the rush section can have a Chu Ying to tutor on the side.

On the contrary, it was the very popular youth campus drama of Tudou Video that made Song Junhua feel that he was not interested.

After all, most of his youth was actually spent in the Go gym.

......

"The situation is not very promising."

"At the moment we can only be in third place for the time being."

"The "Youth Like Water" on Tudou Video has already determined the position of the overlord of the summer file."

"In addition, the "Chess Soul" at station G is also slowly starting to exert its strength, and it has surpassed us this week."

Kiwifruit's company building, Congzhu also didn't expect that the goal of Penguin Video's new drama in the same period that he had set at the beginning had been achieved.

But the results are still not so good.

Who would have thought that Penguin Video, the boss of the video platform, would overturn shortly after the start of this quarter.

Although the new drama seems to be okay in all aspects, it is still at the bottom.

Although because of the poor performance of Penguin's big-investment drama, people feel a little comforted in their hearts.

But the results of this quarter's new drama are related to Congzhu's future, and she is naturally not happy.

"The publicity and distribution work will be more intensive, and strive to surpass the G station."

From the bamboo can only be the last struggle.

"Chess Soul", which surpasses Station G, still looks promising.

As for the popular drama that suddenly appeared on the potato video, it seems that there is no chance of winning.

......

Rongcheng, although his company's new drama "Chess Soul" was broadcast, Xu Ji didn't pay much attention to it.

Because of the limitation of the subject matter, this drama is destined to become a hit that will not sweep the market.

But the quality of the drama itself is there, and the future will at least supplement a blank in Bluestar Film and Television.

At least when it comes to Go-related film and television works in the future, "Chess Soul" will definitely be able to occupy a certain position in it.

Before that, there was no live-action TV series dedicated to Go.

In addition, the copyright has also been sold, and it has already been returned early, and it is not so important how much the share can be on the side of station g.

But soon, Xu Ji received a good news from You Man.

It was an animation producer in Huaxia who planned to buy the copyright of Chess Soul.

For this sudden extra income, You Man naturally felt that he was the happiest to get it.

But this made Xu Ji also have another idea.

That is the current Tongji Entertainment, is it possible to involve the animation field.

"Animation company?"

After You Man heard Xu Ji's suggestion, he felt very surprised.

He felt that Xu Ji wanted to come out a little.

Although Tongji Entertainment is doing a good job in film and television, animation and live-action film and television are still separated by mountains.

The most important thing is that Tongji Entertainment does not have talents in this area now.

I don't have the ability to make my own anime at all.

Even if it is to take the live-action version of "Chess Soul" to adapt.

At that time, we will not talk about the level of production, but whether the copyright can be sold or not is a problem.

Xu Ji didn't think about it that much.

He just suddenly thought of the excellent anime works in his memory.

It's nice to see the light of day again in the Blue Star.

As for the fact that Tongji Entertainment's current ability is not enough to produce it by itself, it is actually not a big problem.

It's a big deal to buy a domestic animation company or studio.

It's like buying Mountain Studios.

"I'll do as much as I can."

After thinking about it for a while, You Man finally reluctantly agreed.

Since Xu Ji can be so confident, You Man also knows that he probably can't change the other party's mind.

But there are enough miracles created by Xu Ji, and it is not completely impossible to set foot in the field of animation.

......

"Tongji Entertainment refused?"

"Why?"

At the headquarters of Station G in Shanghai, the person in charge of the animation department felt that he couldn't understand a little after hearing Chi Jiang's words at this time.

In his opinion, this "Chess Soul" does have the style of a juvenile manga in it.

And the key is that this show has a fan base accumulated by live-action dramas, and it is obviously easier to succeed after changing to anime.

Tongji Entertainment's side is happy to have an extra copyright fee for no reason.

Unexpectedly, it was openly and secretly refused.

It's a little incomprehensible.

Chi Jiang also spread his hands helplessly.

Although the relationship between the film and television department and the animation department is not very good, after all, they are both in the same station.

The interests are still unified.

He was also more willing to help this time.

Although I don't know why Xu Ji refused so decisively.

But it's not good to ask more questions, and the relationship between the two sides will be more than worth the loss.

"Mr. Chi, you said that Xu Ji didn't want to adapt "Chess Soul" into an anime by himself, right?"

The head of the animation department felt a little strange at this time.

Chi Jiang shook his head.

Such a reason seems a little too absurd.

In his opinion, Xu Ji's company and animation can't be beaten.

And the current influence of station G in animation copyright feels that it exceeds the three major video websites.

Coupled with the foundation of the previous cooperation, Station G is indeed the best choice.

"I can only ask for you again."

"Add a little more copyright fees, are you willing to sell it over there?"

Chi Jiang said.

Although it didn't help, it was still benevolent.

The person in charge of the animation department also acknowledged this sentiment and said words of thanks.

......

The acquisition of an animation studio has not yet been overlooked.

Xu Ji has already gone to Hangzhou to start the recording of the third episode of "The Masked Singer".

This variety show is definitely the most influential variety show at present.

Facelings' WeT fans now surpassed three million.

Even You Man, a person who knows everything, is a little looking forward to what kind of sensational scene it will be when Xu Trace is revealed.

At present, although there is some speculation on the Internet that Xu Ji is a Faceling, most people do not think that Xu Ji will be a Faceling.

After all, there is really not much connection between the two.

Not only are there differences in voices, but also in the types of songs written.

Although Xu Ji's creative style has never been fixed, it is because the style has changed too much, but it makes people unable to associate the two together for a while.

Now the only one who insists that the Faceling is Xu Ji, and the only one is Lulu the bear, a music review blogger.

Even if some fans felt that her speculation was not very reasonable, she still insisted on her idea.

......

At the same time, at this time in Hangzhou, Xiong Lu, who had already gone home from vacation, returned here again.

After her hard work and active self-recommendation, she finally got the place for the on-site public review of this issue of "The Masked Singer".

Being able to come to the scene to listen to the song, Xiong Lu was naturally very excited.

But what thrilled her the most was being able to see the Facelings perform.

Since Xiong Lu watched the second episode of the show, she felt more and more sure that Xu Ji must be a faceling.

Of course, there is little basis for this view, and it is mainly based on her own personal feelings.

But Xiong Lu firmly believes that as long as she can listen to the facelings' singing live, she will definitely be able to detect the flaws.

Since Xu Ji entered the hotel arranged by the "Masked Singer" program team, he began to wear the mask of the faceless man.

This mask is actually specially made by Xu Ji.

It may seem unremarkable, but it's easy to remember.

In particular, the symmetrical inkblot above was the inspiration found in a movie character he liked very much in his previous life.

Although it is deliberately simplified, it is still easy for anyone who has seen the movie to notice.

Of course, such an easter egg must be something that no one will be able to discover in Bluestar.

......

On the day of the official recording of the show, Xu Ji went from the hotel to the recording place of the show.

To Xu Ji's surprise, when he entered the recording studio, he found a large number of fans gathered at the door.

There's even a lot of entertainment reporters or something.

Obviously, in addition to really liking Facelings, these people are more curious about Facelings.

I want to uncover the true identity of the Facelings on the spot.

Judging from the current popularity of the show "The Masked Singer", the revelation of the true identity of the Faceling is definitely quite a big news.

The program team had a pre-plan in advance, and the surrounding security personnel did not let these people have the opportunity to contact Xu Qi wearing masks.

And after Xu Ji appeared, some reporters and fans began to scramble to ask questions.

Xu Ji was very clever and did not speak.

Even if he can deliberately change the tone of his speech after training, he is still easy to be discovered.

In the case of no voice changer from the program group, it is better not to speak easily for the sake of safety.

Seeing that the Faceling did not speak, everyone at the scene was very disappointed.

In addition to Xu Ji, the second most popular redeemer also appeared at the door.

Xu Ji deliberately slowed down his pace and waited for the other party to go in together.

In order to keep the identity of the contestants confidential, the program team actually has a separate lounge for everyone.

They don't know each other's identities.

Of course, the identities of the contestants on the show have actually been guessed by the majority of netizens.

Except for the Facelings and the Redeemer.

These two people are as many as six or seven possible candidates.

The redeemer was obviously a little surprised to see Xu Ji with the mask waiting for him.

Politely and Xu Ji nodded、

The same is true for Xu Ji.

Although he couldn't see the expression on the other party's face at this time, Xu Ji could feel the temperament that the other party made him familiar.

Xu Ji had actually guessed who the other party was.

Although the two knew each other, Xu Ji obviously didn't plan to recognize each other.

In the end, the relationship between the two is not good to that extent, at best, they have only met a few times.

At most, Xu Ji still admires and admires this person.

Being able to see each other on such a show, Xu Ji is also sincerely happy for him.

After Xu Ji and the Redeemer arrived, the contestants of the third issue of "The Masked Singer" arrived.

With the audience and public judges of this issue, and several guests have arrived one after another, Wang Jiangyu, one of the directors, announced the official start of the recording of the third episode of the program.
