Chapter 334: The Old Man's Chance to Be Shameful Has Come?!
The National Day holiday is a big day to celebrate from online to offline.
All kinds of online games are engaged in National Day activities, and offline merchants of all sizes are engaged in promotions to stimulate consumption.
On this lively day, the launch of "Soul Ferry" cannot be the only one that the public pays attention to, and even the attention it has aroused is only spread in a small area.
But as Wu Yuan sang in the song, a new storm was already brewing, let the bullets fly first for a while.
On the 3rd, "Soul Ferry" was updated on time with the 5th episode of the hanging sword, and the 6th episode of the dormitory murderous spirit.
It is still thought-provoking, looking at the social issues of society from the unique perspective of the soul, and still talking about the trivialities and complexities of life through the ancient and modern worlds of people, gods, ghosts, and spirits.
One unit at a time, slowly spreading out the road, through the ghost to talk about people's warmth.
Gradually, "Soul Ferry" began to spread like a virus on the Internet.
In major forums and QQ groups, it is like having a mysterious organization, and a large number of netizens ask when they meet people: "Hey, have you watched the recent "Soul Ferry"? ”
"Didn't see it? Hurry up and see it, it's super beautiful! ”
"In the era of light and shadow, it is broadcast exclusively, and only here can you find resources on the whole network."
As if I wanted to share the mysterious code, the drama "Soul Ferry" was spreading rapidly among netizens, and more and more people were introduced to Amway by friends and netizens, and downloaded the light and shadow broadcast, let's take a look at what the TV series praised by everyone is.
Of course, there is also a group of people who have a high rebellious mentality, and the more you recommend it, the more he doesn't want to see it, but this kind of person is a minority after all.
After all, there are more people who are willing to eat Amway.
The server in the era of light and shadow has also ushered in the biggest test.
Every day, the number of new sign-ups is increasing by hundreds of thousands, while the number of people online is also increasing.
Although for P2P technology, the more viewers watching at the same time, the faster the caching, but this still needs to be supported by the server.
Wang Xin took precautions to rent more than a dozen sets of servers in advance, and now they all came in handy.
At the end of the National Day holiday, the total number of views of "Soul Ferry" has exceeded 30 million, and the average number of views per episode has reached 3 million.
Compared with the increase of hundreds of thousands of new users per day, this data seems to be a little less, and it is not the right number, but Wang Xin doesn't think there is any problem.
After all, not every newly registered user will really finish chasing "Soul Ferry", maybe after watching the first episode, they won't watch it if they don't like it.
30 million views are already a success for the first web series.
And that's just the beginning.
As the fame of "Soul Ferry" gradually fermented on the Internet, physical media newspapers also began to notice the so-called "first online drama in China" that became popular on the Internet!
The official media did not speak out for the time being, but newspapers in various provinces and cities made special reports on the drama for the first time.
Recently, there is a film and television drama on the Internet that is very popular, called "Soul Ferry", in "Soul Ferry", the screenwriter shows the "seven deadly sins" of people in real society through a variety of different stories, endowed with the warning meaning of moral exhortation, and the audience does not consciously reflect on their own behavior after watching it. ”
"My favorite is the story of the hanging sword in the fifth episode."
"A journalist's job is to find out the truth and make it public."
"In this episode, fortunately, the heroine has such a conscience, but unfortunately, she also has such a conscience."
"She's a good journalist who is obsessed with finding the truth and making it public."
"But these truths involve the interests of her superiors, and they touch her rights and interests."
"She just wanted to be a good journalist, but those dark forces tried to stop her from revealing the truth, and she didn't give in, and as a result, she lost her life."
"Fortunately, there is still Xia Dongqing who can see ghosts, and fortunately, Xia Dongqing can help her fulfill her wish."
"But the living are gone, and she lost her life for the truth."
"This kind of social status quo is exactly the problem facing the Chinese news industry at present."
"How many real news has been suppressed, how many media people have sacrificed for justice and truth, how can we ever know?"
"A lot of today's entertainment journalists have lost their professional ethics, focusing on eye-catching news and trying to create a sensational effect, and how much of the truth is buried."
"They are supposed to be propagandists of justice and truth, but in the end they have become the buries of the truth."
"I believe that, as it is said in this film and television drama, justice will eventually triumph over darkness, and the truth may be late, but it will never be absent."
"Although "Soul Ferry" is a story about "ghosts", it is all about human nature! ”
"Compared with unfounded supernatural horror performances such as ghosts, this drama is more about depicting people's hearts."
As the most influential newspaper in the south, "Southern Metropolis Daily", in the latest issue, has made such a special article for "Soul Ferry".
Maybe it's because the fifth episode of this drama has really touched the hearts of many media practitioners, so that they can't help but cheer and chant for this drama.
As an online drama, this drama is actually not exquisite and high-quality, and it is a bit exaggerated to describe it as a domestic work of conscience.
But a film and television work may be very important in terms of serving the Tao, but more important is the core soul of the script.
Obviously, the script of "Soul Ferry" is very good, integrating warmth, rot, funny, cuteness, tears, and abuse, but it serves a very delicious hodgepodge.
Every audience can find a few stories that touch everyone's heart, resonate and move with them from these dozen unit stories, and applaud them.
If this can be done, this film and television drama is destined to be successful, will become a new wave, and will explode.
Whether it is broadcast on TV or on the Internet, it will not hinder its rapid spread of influence!
And just when "Soul Ferry" gradually hung up a storm online and offline, Wu Yuan came to a villa on the outskirts of the capital in a very low-key manner.
The villa is large, or more appropriately described as a manor.
The assistant parked the car at the parking lot, and as soon as Wu Yuan got out of the car, he saw a noble lady with a graceful and luxurious temperament, with two children about ten years old, walking up to greet him.
"Eh, Sister Chen Hong, you came to greet me in person, how embarrassed I am." With an authentic Beijing film, Wu Yuan walked forward quickly and hugged Chen Hong.
"These two are noble sons, right?" He asked, pointing to the two children who were following Chen Hong.
"Hey, what's not expensive." Chen Hong glanced at Wu Yuan: "The big one is me and Lao Chen's eldest son Yu Ang, and the younger one is the youngest son Fei Yu." ”
"Yuang, Feiyu, come and say hello to your uncle."
As soon as Chen Hong beckoned, the two children came up, raised their heads and looked at Wu Yuan curiously, and said, "Hello Uncle Wu~"
Eight or nine-year-old children are the cutest age, Wu Yuan nodded with a smile, and pinched the faces of the two of them intimately, and then said, "You guys are okay." ”
He knew how many roads Chen Kaige paved for his youngest son's dream of entering the entertainment industry, and he could only say that no matter how arrogant a person was, he would bow his head for his children.
Touching the back of Chen Feiyu's head, who was still chubby, with some emotion, Wu Yuan asked Chen Hong with a smile: "Sister Hong, where is Director Kaige?" ”
"Lao Chen is waiting for you in the living room, come, come, follow me."
Wu Yuan nodded and quickly followed her.
After a while, the two of them came to the living room on the first floor of the villa, and Chen Kaige, who was tall and tall, was standing at the door to greet them.
Well, very formally.
Chen Kaige's aura of a veteran literati is still so strong.
"Red, take the two children to play first, I have something to talk about with Director Wu."
After waving his hand and letting Chen Hong take away the "irrelevant people", Chen Kaige said to Wu Yuan with a smile: "Director Wu, you busy man still have time to visit me, this is my brilliance." ”
A little unaccustomed to Chen Kaige's politeness, Wu Yuan had no choice but to smile, didn't speak, and followed Chen Kaige into the living room to sit down.
"I know your temperament, you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, what is there to find me, don't say it directly on the phone."
Chen Kaige asked casually while taking out the tea set to make tea.
What else can there be, of course, I came to ask Chen Kaige to take over "Painted Skin 2".
After Wu Yuan thought about it carefully, he still felt that he could let Chen Kaige give it a try to make "Painted Skin 2", and Xu Ke's "Di Renjie" series couldn't be busy at all.
Although the risk is a bit high, the return is also high.
Wu Yuan is the director of the previous work, and he found Chen Kaige to direct the second part, at least from the perspective of compulsion and box office appeal, it is still not out of momentum.
In addition, at the end of the year, a "Mei Lanfang" directed by Kaige will save his reputation, make the audience feel that he can do it again, and dispel the word-of-mouth influence after the failure of "Wuji".
At least next year's Chen Kaige, there is a hint of returning to the top, and the reputation has returned to a good level.
Instead of letting him finally turn over the reputation and being ruined by "Zhao's Orphan", it is better to come to the whole "Painted Skin 2" before this and make the best use of it!
"That's right." Wu Yuan rubbed his hands, took the teacup from Chen Kaige's hand, and said, "Director Kaige, do you remember what we talked about at the premiere of "Hero"? ”
"What's the matter?" Chen Kaige was a little stunned.
Wu Yuan slapped his thigh and said, "I'll go to the water for you first, and try Huaxia's own magic and fantasy movies!" ”
Chen Kaige, who was originally happy, immediately stiffened his expression.
As long as we don't talk about fantasy movies and "Wuji", then we are still good friends.
But if you want to talk about this, then I'm sorry, my friend doesn't have to do it!
However, what did Wu Yuan mean when he suddenly mentioned this?
Nothing to humiliate this poet?
He doesn't look like this kind of person, does he?
Just when Chen Kaige was full of thoughts and puzzles in his heart, Wu Yuan immediately said: "Hey, isn't this the success of "Painted Skin". ”
"Now the company wants to do a second part, and the script is almost done."
"I thought, Director Kaige, you are the director who has the deepest understanding of magic and fantasy movies in China, and you are also the director who has the most love for this theme."
"So I wanted to invite you to come out of the mountain and direct the second part of "Painted Skin"."
Yes, although Wu Yuan has filmed several "Pirates of the Caribbean", and "Painted Skin" was also done by him, he really doesn't love magic themes much, he actually prefers Xianxia.
"Looking for me to make a sequel to Painted Skin?" Chen Kaige's hand holding the teacup paused in mid-air, his mouth was half open, and he looked at Wu Yuan in a daze.
Don't say it, don't say it!
Chen Kaige digested Wu Yuan's words, and his eyes immediately lit up.
The old man's chance to be ashamed has come?! (End of chapter)
