Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 35 Premiere Successfully
There are four episodes, each episode is forty minutes, which is just over two hours.

At around 8:30, the first group of viewers who had finished watching the movie could not wait to post their own viewing experiences online.

"We are so cute"

"Yellow Orange Tian Xiwei"

"Li Mingde Talks about Song Dynasty"

“Yellow orange is cute”

Several trending searches were at the top of the list, showing the audience’s reaction to the broadcast.

While Lin Li was comforting the excited Xiaotian beside him, he opened the comment section of the first trending search to see the audience's feedback.

"First of all, I really, really like this drama! So if you don't like cuteness, please don't say anything below."

"Cuteness is a warm style that includes love, family, and friendship, which are all indispensable parts of life."

"Nanda is a writer I have been following for many years, so when I saw this drama, I rushed to watch it. After watching it, I can only say that it is worth investing in it!"

“The casting is absolutely amazing!!!”

"Where did Nanda find the leading actress? Huang Chengzi is so cute! My dear daughter!"

……

After watching it, the audience gave basically unanimous positive reviews. So far, the premiere seems to be very good, but I don't know what the specific data is from Penguin.

Tian Xiwei on the side was holding her cell phone tightly, and from time to time she could hear a giggle.

Since the show started, her followers on Weibo have exceeded three million and are still growing. She has finally gone from being an unknown figure in the entertainment industry to a rising star.

Lin Li thought Xiaotian, who was smiling foolishly, was very cute, so he took out his cell phone and took two photos of her.

Tian Xiwei, who heard the noise, also reacted. She wanted to grab the phone with an unhappy look on her face and take a look. The two of them started quarreling again.

At this time, Lin Li's phone suddenly rang, and he quickly signaled Xiaotian to be quiet. Seeing this, Xiaotian also stopped obediently, looking like I was very obedient.

After taking a look at the caller ID, Lin Li put the phone to his ear and spoke with a smile.

"Boss Han, are you here to give me good news?"

"Haha, I can't hide it from President Lin. This is indeed good news."

"Appreciate further details."

"As of the fourth episode of the premiere, the site has received over 300 million hits and over 700,000 new members. The popularity is gratifying. Congratulations to Mr. Lin."

"What President Han said is not right. If the show goes well, everyone should be happy about it. Isn't that right, President Han?"

"Haha, right, right, we're all happy. I hope that Mr. Lin can also make an effort. Let's try to increase the popularity and make it a hit of the year. How do you think?"

"Of course, I will fully cooperate with you."

After chatting with Han Zijie for a while, Lin Li hung up the phone and looked at Xiao Tian who was looking expectantly at the side. He raised his eyebrows and said: "Xiao Tian, ​​you are going to be famous."

Tian Xiwei was listening at the side just now. Although she didn't know how good the data mentioned by Penguin was, judging from the other party's tone and Lin Li's reaction, it should be very good.

She suddenly moved forward, sat astride Lin Li's legs, put her arms around his neck, and her originally innocent face became somewhat charming.

"So Director Lin, do you want me to thank you so much?"

"You can ask for anything?"

"OK."

"Then I'm not welcome!"

"No~"

For a moment, the office was full of beautiful scenery and alluring spring colors.

-

There are many happy people today, but definitely not one person.

A private villa in Shanghai.

"boom"

A silver iPad was thrown heavily to the ground and instantly broke into pieces.

Guo Xiaosi vented his anger with a stern look on his face, and that arrogance seemed to have invisibly raised his height a lot.

His Weibo account had been flooded with comments at this time. He usually received around 2,000 to 3,000 comments, but for the first time he received over 50,000 comments. However, he was not happy at all because most of these comments were mocking him.

"How about it, is it a slap in the face or not?" "How dare you imply Nanjing University in the era of the slides you took?"

"We are both writers, but why is Nan Da tall, handsome and humble, while you only hold your head high and act sarcastic?"

"When can you make a good TV series like this and make a voice again? Stop just making PPTs every day."

Netizens are still very good at scolding people. Yang Mi, who was innocently implicated, was lying at home reading the comments. She was speechless when she saw that her black spot "Tiny Times" was brought out to criticize again.

"Why do you bother him for no reason? You are sick!"

At this time, Penguin official blog also released the performance of the first broadcast of "Lovely":
"The first broadcast on the site has received over 300 million hits. We are proud of our cuteness. Oranges are not the only fruit. Oranges are."

At this time, celebrities in the circle who were paying attention to the reaction to the premiere of "Lovely" were also stunned by the premiere data.

If they were still in a wait-and-see attitude before, then things have quietly changed at this moment.

It turns out that they respected Lin Li because of his pen name Nanxun, because he held a lot of original copyrights that could be adapted into film and television, and because the film and television dramas adapted from his works have all become big hits, making one popular artist after another.

And now, Lin Li has proved that he can not only write, but also shoot. He is a director who can write and direct his own films and has achieved remarkable results. Most importantly, he is only 21 years old, so the value of his work is different.

And looking at the current situation, the female lead Tian Xiwei is definitely going to rise to fame, and several other actors have also received varying degrees of attention.

The female stars all have different thoughts. After all, if you can make one female star popular, you can make the second and the third one popular as well!
Lin Li is now undoubtedly a huge favorite in their eyes!
All of a sudden, all the film and television companies, video platforms, and artists of all sizes in the circle started to take action, trying to find ways to get in touch with Lin Li, while some interested people had already begun to inquire about Lin Li's next film and television plan.

For example, Zhao Lusi is currently answering a call from her agent.

"Didn't you meet him at Nanxun's book signing event last time? He was impressed by your performance on the show. Didn't you keep his contact information?"

"Didn't I tell you last time that there were so many people queuing up at the book signing, there was no way I could ask for his contact information in person!"

"Then you have the advantage of being more familiar with him than others. I have already found out where his studio is. You can find a way to go over there and improve your relationship with him."

"No way, wouldn't it be weird if I went there for no reason? I don't even have a reason."

"Then I won't care. You figure it out yourself. Ruth, think about it. Tian Xiwei was originally nobody, but she became the most discussed artist right now just because she starred in a drama called Nanxun. Is Broad Days Ascension just like that?"

"I-I'll think about it."

"Think about it for yourself."

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Lusi stared at the interface on her phone in a daze. The trending search "Tian Xiwei Huang Chengzi" was extremely prominent in her sight, making her feel a little dazzling.

Her appearance is also cute, and she thinks that if she were to play the role of Huang Chengzi, her performance would definitely not be worse than Tian Xiwei!

But she didn't have such good luck. She didn't meet Lin Li and failed to act in this drama, so now she can only stay at home and watch Tian Xiwei become famous overnight and become a dazzling new star in the entertainment industry!
She doesn't agree!
As her mind was tossing and turning, she made up her mind. Looking at the numerous signatures on the title page of the book at hand, the desire in her eyes grew like wildfire.

Since they have chosen to enter the entertainment industry, no one would be content with mediocrity, and she is no exception.

A conference room at Modou TV Station.

Amid the smoke, Mao Weining, then chairman of the Magnolia Award jury, was leaning back in his chair, smoking a cigarette and staring at the person across the desk with a serious face.

After a while, he slowly said, "Does the station still insist on inviting a young boy to be the judge of our Magnolia Awards?"

The middle-aged man opposite nodded and advised earnestly: "That's right, Director Mao. Although Director Lin may be young, he is a senior and popular writer, and now he has directed a popular TV series. He is qualified to be a judge of our Magnolia Awards."

Mao Weining shook his head and threw the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray: "I don't agree. I know what the station means. They want to use him to attract the public's attention to our Magnolia Awards. But he doesn't have enough experience, and one drama can't prove anything. I strongly disagree. If you really want to invite him, then I think he can be the award presenter. You can decide."

After saying that, Mao Weining stood up and walked out of the office, not paying any attention to the TV station leader who was chasing him and shouting.

"Director Mao, we can discuss this further!"

The Magnolia Award is an international television award hosted by the State Administration of Radio and Television, China Media Group, and the Shanghai People's Government, and organized by the Shanghai Radio and Television Bureau and Shanghai Radio and Television Station. It was founded in 1986 and is known as one of the three major awards for TV dramas, along with the Feitian Award and the Golden Eagle Award. It is held annually.

As one of the three major awards, the Magnolia Awards is a grand event in the industry every time it is held.

However, in recent years, the Magnolia Awards has been biased towards using local judges and academic actors from Shanghai, from the jury members to the selection results, which has caused considerable controversy and its credibility has obviously declined.

The organizers of this session are currently focusing on two things: ensuring the fairness of the selection and increasing public attention.

When they noticed Lin Li, who has attracted huge attention from the public recently, they came up with the idea of ​​introducing him to the Magnolia judging panel.

Unexpectedly, I was rejected every time I communicated with the chairman of the jury, Mao Weining. Each time, the reason was only one: I did not have enough qualifications.

After the successful premiere of the drama directed by Lin Li, they tried to communicate with Mao Weining again, but were rejected again as expected.

The middle-aged man looked at Mao Weining who had disappeared and wiped his face helplessly. However, the other party was too experienced and he couldn't suppress him by force.

Forget it, just be the award presenter, as long as you can come.

A new month has arrived. It should take another two days to reach 3,000 collections, which is faster than I expected. Thank you all for your support. I will definitely write well.

(I occasionally watch dramas and variety shows, but I do it for the material, really.)
