Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 400 Zhang Jingyi's Handwritten Letter

On the morning of the 11nd.

After a night of fermentation, heated discussions about the finale of Feng Quan remained high. From the time Feng Quan was updated at 8 o'clock last night to 10 o'clock this morning, the hot search for "Feng Quan Finale" has been at the top of the list.

According to the latest data as of 10 a.m., the number of views of Fengquan on Kiwi has exceeded 25 billion times.

In addition, on the Douyin and Kuaishou platforms, the number of views of Fengquan related videos exceeded 248 billion times, showing the strong appeal of Fengquan on the two short video platforms and the widespread attention of the audience.

Audiences' reviews of Feng Quan were generally positive, praising the costumes and scenes for being in line with the setting, the actors' good looks, and although their acting skills had room for improvement there were no major flaws overall, the plot was fresh and compact, and the overall viewing effect was excellent.

The popularity of Wind Dogs was not only high during the broadcast period, but also increased further after the finale was released, showing that Wind Dogs also has a good long-tail effect.

After the finale, netizens were most concerned about the finale data of the show. On the finale day, Feng Quan unsurprisingly won the championship of Maoyan's real-time popularity list of dramas, with a Maoyan popularity of 8772.94.

According to the Lighthouse Professional Edition, Fengquan’s real-time broadcast market share on the final night reached 16.31%, which can be said to be a huge lead in the market.

Not only that, Fengquan also ranked first in terms of public opinion popularity, achieving the top spot in both broadcast and public opinion.

Such final data can be said to be very impressive and deserves the word "explosive".

After the show was aired, the one who benefited the most was naturally the female lead Zhang Jingyi. After all, the male lead Eddie Peng had already gained popularity through the tragic reversal, and with his previous appearances in online dramas and variety shows, he was already the most well-known actor in the entire crew. So although Feng Quan had a bonus for him, it was not particularly outrageous in comparison.

But Zhang Jingyi is different. She was an unknown person before, but she became completely famous after Feng Quan was broadcast. She can often be seen on hot searches. Some netizens jokingly said that she was "stripped" naked by everyone.

Even her love for practicing Ba Duan Jin was dug out by netizens, who teased her that she was a health-conscious girl.

Zhang Jingyi now is similar to Tian Xiwei when she was cute. It is no exaggeration to say that she has become a first-line actress because of one drama.

A freshman at Beijing Film Academy, her first role as the heroine in a Nanxun Cultural Project. Her luck is something that is envied by both netizens and many artists in the circle.

Basically, the current trend is that in the undergraduate acting classes of the three schools, Beijing Film Academy, Central Academy of Drama, and Shanghai Theatre Academy, as long as they are not too ordinary, there will be a lot of economic companies competing for resources as soon as you enter your freshman year.

There will definitely be drama.

Whether or not you can come out is another matter.

Not to mention anything else, ever since Zhang Jingyi and Zhou Ye were revealed to be the leading actors of Feng Quan and Shao Nian, companies have never stopped trying to contact them.

Similar to Tian Xiwei, after she became cute, she was quickly found by Gong Yuhan and signed to become the company's top actress. Afterwards, she was given the resources to star in two consecutive dramas, "One Thousand and One Nights" and "My True Friend", which shows that she is highly valued.

Given Zhang Jingyi’s current popularity, the number of companies that want to sign her can probably be lined up from the gate of Beijing Film Academy all the way to the gate of the Central Academy of Drama.

However, apart from filming, she is always in school. When faced with olive branches from many companies, she rejected them on the grounds that her studies were currently more important, which made many film and television companies feel helpless.

However, considering that Zhang Jingyi seems to have a very close relationship with Nanxun Culture, director Zhao Qian has praised and supported her in public many times, and Lin Li seemed to be very familiar with Zhang Jingyi when he appeared at Beijing Film Academy last time, a number of film and television companies dare not act rashly.

But seeing how popular Zhang Jingyi is now, they are really jealous!

Moreover, according to statistics from netizens, Zhang Jingyi's fans increased by more than 16 million in the 530 days since the show was aired, with an average daily increase of about 33 fans.

However, the biggest bonus is that her performance in this drama has been recognized by many audiences, especially regarding her appearance. Many netizens have similar comments, which roughly means that she looks a little pretty at first glance, but seems even prettier when you look at her again, and becomes more and more beautiful as you continue to watch her. She is very attractive.

The most popular comment in the trending search term "Wind Dog Finale" evaluated Zhang Jingyi, "This face is pure and well-behaved, but just the right amount of unhappy. What's more fatal is the stubbornness and sense of destruction that comes with making up one's mind and not looking back. I can't imagine what the realistic interpretation of youth pain literature can be like, and can only be embodied in Zhang Jingyi's face."

What netizens discussed the most was the elegance of Zhang Jingyi's face.

Yes, it’s grand.

Today's mainstream aesthetics go to two extremes.

One is still fair, thin and young. There is nothing to discuss. No matter who refutes it, it is useless. Fair, thin and young have always been the supreme aesthetic of this yellow land. Netizens love them deeply, exclusively and to the core. It has been so many years and it cannot be shaken.

The other is a beautiful and gorgeous girl. The reason why female stars eventually go down this path is because the audience loves to watch this. Although they say they are tired of watching it, they still love to watch this after all.

But if we carefully study why people love beautiful and gorgeous girls, fundamentally, people love beauty that is grand, dreamy, and has a sense of presence.

The first one is "grand". No matter how beautiful a girl is, she will not stand out from the crowd if she follows this style. However, netizens believe that Zhang Jingyi is born with this condition, so she will immediately receive rave reviews if she simply follows this style.

The last time Lin Li appeared at the Beijing Film Academy, the photo of him and Zhang Jingyi was taken by many students from the Beijing Film Academy who were present. After it was posted online, many netizens were amazed after seeing it.

There is naturally nothing much to say about Lin Li's appearance, which has been widely recognized by the public, but Zhang Jingyi is different.

When the casting of Fengquan was first revealed, everyone commented on her admission photo that she was a bit pretty and looked very well behaved, but some netizens still joked that "this is a yellow-haired girl Chaihe Niu who has not yet grown up."

When Zhang Jingyi’s latest photos at Beijing Film Academy were exposed, netizens suddenly felt like the girl next door had grown up, and they were all amazed by her current appearance.

In one of the recent photos exposed by netizens, Zhang Jingyi has big watery eyes on her fair face, a small and soft nose, and lips that are as tender and hydrated as a water chestnut, pink and plump, with beautiful and delicate facial features, indescribably bright and charming. The first hot comment under that photo said, "Zhang Jingyi is so beautiful, she exudes a pure and natural feeling, her face looks really high-end, with delicate bones that are very delicate without any makeup, and natural and elegant beauty."

This comment received over 100,000 likes and was recognized by many netizens.

Some netizens analyzed that Zhang Jingyi has a big frame and a big body that are basically not found in the new generation of young actresses.

The beautiful girls who dominate the fashion nowadays are all so small, narrow, flat and light, as if they can be blown up by a gust of wind. Their small frames make them look thin and young, which gives them an advantage in starring in today's mainstream idol dramas and sweet dramas, as they look like beautiful girls in front of the camera.

But Zhang Jingyi is an exception.

He is nearly 1.7 meters tall, with broad shoulders and hips, which are the parts that best emphasize his body shape horizontally, and large joints. His whole body is slightly thick, and his limbs are not particularly slender, so he has a very strong presence.

Lin Li, who was slacking off in class at the time, smiled knowingly when he saw the comments from netizens. It has to be said that there are always masters among the people, and there are countless people with sharp eyes.

Words cannot actually describe how strong Jingyi's presence is. Some things require comparison.

He remembered that in the original time and space, there was an event where Jingyi and Mai Mai appeared in the same frame, like a glamorous aunt and a cute niece attending a coming-of-age ceremony.

The difference between a girl and a woman can be immediately distinguished by their skeleton and fleshiness.

In addition, this figure is born for all off-shoulder dresses. The more silk, satin and sequins she is surrounded with, the more star-studded she will be.

Because she is big enough, no amount of fabric will bury her. She is the real protagonist in these things. The dresses add luster to her, making her transform from a girl into a woman, and she stands out every time, step by step.

Secondly, her "insensitivity" that was often criticized in the original time and space has become her mature weapon.

She is young, with a lot of collagen in her face, and she has some baby fat so her face is plump. In addition, her skin color is dark, her nose is fleshy, and her lips are thick. Many people say that she is dull and looks like a Southeast Asian, which is a disadvantage.

Lin Li, on the contrary, believes that it is precisely these dull characteristics that make her look healthy and full of vitality, and make her temperament gentle and tolerant, which is also the "Mother Earth" type of beauty that everyone often talks about.

What exactly is generosity? In the final analysis, its essence is capacity and breadth. A sharp and harsh appearance can also be very beautiful, a completely different kind of beauty, but it is difficult to be generosity. These are the two sides of the same coin.

As long as one has a dignified appearance and temperament, it is not difficult for one to become a woman, no matter how young one is. This is Jingyi's huge appearance advantage.

If she wants to pursue the path of becoming a big star in serious dramas, it will definitely be possible. No one will question her hardware. She just needs to spend a few more years honing her acting skills.

But if she simply follows the path of a bright and charming female star, it is definitely possible. Among the young actresses, there are too few who are bright, cute, and yet full of energy, and no one is competing with her on this track.

In Lin Li's opinion, Zhang Jingyi has more possibilities.

While browsing the comments, Lin Li returned to the Weibo homepage and took a look. His attention was immediately attracted by another hot search.

"Zhang Jingyi posted a message to bid farewell to Li Anran." After seeing this hot search, Lin Li's heart moved and he immediately clicked on it out of curiosity.

Zhang Jingyi posted a photo of the set and a handwritten letter on Weibo, with the caption "Li Anran is my first role and the best gift for me when I turned 18."

Looking at the photo of the slightly wrinkled handwritten letter, Lin Li clicked it curiously.

At first glance, the font is very beautiful.

"The Wind Dogs concluded yesterday. The finale was the episode I was most reluctant to let everyone see, because it meant the story would pause for a while."

"Li Anran is my first role. I say she is the best gift for me when I turned 18. For me, I am just like her. We both started out cautiously and then got into the role."

"As Li Anran, I am very touched that everyone believes in our existence and sees the details of our growth."

“As Zhang Jingyi, I am lucky to be able to empathize with An Ran’s experience.

"From the time we joined the crew in 2017 to now, we have never stopped discussing what happened in Daxing Village, because this is not only the story of the wind dogs, but also the vivid life of the old man and his children."

"I want to express my gratitude to my old man, brothers and sisters, and all the staff. No matter where I go, I really miss the time I spent with you guys!"

"Cool as the wind, wild as a dog" The lives of the wind dogs are still going on, but the cameras are temporarily turned off. I hope that each of you can see the shadow of your own growth in it, and then better embrace your own life, which is vivid and interesting. Thank you!"

"Of course, at the end, I would like to thank Mr. Nan Xun who wrote this story and adapted the script himself."

"That's all for now, fellow Wind Dog boys."

The content of the handwritten letter ended here. Lin Li turned off the phone screen. Zhang Jingyi's stubborn little face appeared in his mind, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

She is like the walking moonlight.
