This man knows how to hype

Chapter 410 I'm Really Getting Better Now

July 8, 2pm.

Two hours have passed since the premiere of "New Paradise: Wangxian" was launched.

Xu Xiyu, who was described by Yu Xingde as being just so-so, was driving a convertible sports car and cruising the streets of Beijing.

To be honest, he only owns an RV and a minivan, but no sports car.

This car belongs to Meng Chengming.

He happened to come to see Xu Xiyu for something, so he was sitting in the passenger seat at this time.

The cool summer breeze blew in, making their hair fly.

But what flutters more than her hair is Xu Xiyu's mood.

"New Paradise: Wangxian" became a hit.

The premiere was at 7 o'clock, and by 7:10, the first episode had already been viewed over a million times; by 8 o'clock, the first episode had been viewed an incredible million times.

It's not just the data that exploded.

The word of mouth is also off the charts.

The brisk pace, compact plot and novel setting make the audience feel thrilled.

The Internet is now full of people discussing and analyzing the subsequent direction of the plot.

At the same time, the number of reservations for "New Paradise·Wangxian·Live Immersive Experience Theater" has also reached a new high.

Since it is only open at night, only a certain number of people can enter each day, so the queues stretch out to six months later.

Now, many other similar scenic spots have contacted Huaqing, hoping to obtain authorization for the same theme and open a live-action immersive experience theater of "New Paradise" in their own scenic spots.

It is definitely unrealistic to expect to make money from this, but the problem is that it can boost the popularity of the scenic spot.

Looking at the results, Xu Xiyu felt an indescribable sense of relief, more relief than ever before.

Meng Chengming, who was sitting in the passenger seat, could naturally feel his mood.

So Meng Chengming couldn't help but ask curiously: "No, is there any happy event today? Why are you so happy?"

"Don't you know that "New Paradise·Wangxian" is online today?" Xu Xiyu asked back.

"I know. I've seen it." Meng Chengming said without any hesitation.

"I know you're still asking me if there's anything happy today? The show's stats have exploded, isn't this a happy event?"

Hearing this, Meng Chengming was startled, then he took off the slightly pretentious sunglasses on his face, glanced at Xu Xiyu, and said with a strange expression: "Is this worth being happy about?"

"Isn't this worth being happy about?" Xu Xiyu's expression also became strange. Is Old Meng crazy?
"Since your debut, your dramas, movies, and songs have all been hits, haven't they? I thought you were used to it."

"..." These words choked Xu Xiyu.

Speaking of which, with the popularity of "The Truman Show" as a foundation, coupled with its own publicity and the internet tyrants gathered by Du Yuxiong and others, it would be a miracle if the popularity of this drama didn't explode.

Thinking of this, he curled his lips and said, "After all, this is a brand new attempt, an organic combination of the three themes of fairy tales, science fiction, and games. Besides, it's mainly because of the good reputation. I'm happy about the reputation."

"But are there any of your dramas that have a bad reputation? When I was playing the series "New Paradise", wasn't the reputation of the series "The Truman Show" already very popular?" Meng Chengming asked again.

"You're such a fucking killjoy." Xu Xiyu was really speechless now.

He couldn't say that all the previous dramas were copied from the original, and this time he made a drastic revision based on the original. Although he was already adapting "The Truman Show".

But in the final analysis, the hype of this show and the blessing brought by real-life interaction are too great to explain the problem.

Now "New Paradise: Wangxian" has been recognized by everyone as a serious TV series, which is a recognition of their own adaptation capabilities.

It also proves that the success rate of his adaptation of "The Intouchables" has greatly increased, and he will have more room to display his talents in the future.

That's why I am so happy.

Seeing that he was speechless, Meng Chengming spoke again: "In our opinion, your drama is justified. Don't be so surprised. Let's talk about business."

After saying this, Xu Xiyu almost cursed. What do you mean by not being so surprised? What do you mean by business?

"Someone recently contacted me and wanted me to help them." Meng Chengming said, putting on his sunglasses again.

"What connection do you want? Do you want to invest in my project, or what?" Xu Xiyu continued to ask.

"That's not the case. How should I put it? I have a friend who wants her daughter to recognize you as her godfather." Meng Chengming might feel a little embarrassed when he said this, so he turned his head towards the window.

As for Xu Xiyu, he started coughing. He said incredulously, "Brother, do you know how old I am this year? I am 24, not 42. Is it reasonable to adopt a goddaughter?"

"She's a young girl, after all." As Meng Chengming spoke, his tone became increasingly awkward.

"How young is she? Only three or four years old? Why do you want me to be your godfather? What's the point? Can't I just give birth to a child myself?" Xu Xiyu said with a helpless smile.

"She's not that young. She just turned 14 this year. She's from Taiwan. She previously studied violin in the United States and now wants to develop in the mainland. Her mother used to have some friendship with me and Ali..."

"Stop, stop, stop. Does her mother have some friendship with you, or have you had a 'close relationship' with her? Or is she just Li Fangyuan's connection, and has nothing to do with you." Xu Xiyu interrupted. Then he couldn't help but scold: "Old Meng, you are getting more and more unreliable. What godfather and goddaughter? I think I am getting better now, and someone is planning to send me a skinny horse?

That Li Fangyuan has cast a spell on you, why do you love her so much? When she was with Xiao Jiang, she was an obvious loser... Never mind, I don't want to talk about you!"

"..." After being scolded like this, Meng Chengming looked out the window for a long time without saying a word.

After a long while, he cleared his throat and said awkwardly, "Don't say such harsh words, such as skinny horse or not.

Miaozi is a good candidate. His appearance, manners, rules, and professional skills are all well developed. Signing him as an artist is a good choice.”

"?" Xu Xiyu was really shocked by Meng Chengming this time.

He was stunned for a long time before he said, "Meng, if you're like this, we won't cooperate anymore. If one day I place a big bet on you and you fail, I'll be furious."

"Don't worry about that. I won't give up. I have been very cautious over the years. Even though you cheated me so much back then, I didn't dare to do anything too outrageous." Meng Chengming said quickly.

"So you're going to let me collapse?"

"That's even more impossible. This girl's family has been in the arts for three generations. Her grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles are all artists. They know very well what they can and cannot do." Meng Chengming leaned back.

"Since three generations of their family have been artists, they must have some influence and connections. Why are they looking for me?"

"Isn't it because their influence and connections are limited to Taiwan? Moreover, they are optimistic about you in the long run and think that you will become the king of domestic entertainment sooner or later. If you join us now, you will have a place in the future."

"Why are you suffering from a second-year syndrome at your age? You are also the king of domestic entertainment. Aren't you embarrassed to hear this title?" Xu Xiyu was really shocked by Meng Chengming.

"It's not embarrassing. If you don't believe me, go ask the people who are united around you. Who doesn't think so?" Meng Chengming said it as a matter of course. After he said it, he was afraid that Xu Xiyu would not believe it.

He turned around and continued sincerely, "Now in the domestic entertainment industry, there are people who are younger than you and have a higher status than you. People who are the same age as you don't have a higher status than you. You are now the only thing left to becoming the number one in the domestic entertainment industry. You just need to outlast those old people. This probably won't take 10 years."

"Thank you for your good wishes." Xu Xiyu didn't know what to say. He never expected that Meng Chengming came to him today for this.

"How about it? When are you free? I'll arrange a meeting for you two. Don't worry, it'll just be her mother and her, as well as me and Ali. There will be five of us. You can choose the place."

"Let's talk about it when I'm free." Xu Xiyu said as he turned the steering wheel and drove the car back. He didn't want to stay with Meng Chengming any longer.

"Go ahead and meet her. I've met that girl before. She's really nice." Meng Cheng knew that Xu Xiyu was making excuses.

"Okay, you arrange it, three days later. I'll be free in three days." Xu Xiyu changed his mind.

Then he continued: "Speaking of this, there is something I would like to ask you for help with."

"what?"

"Does Ali have many friends in Taiwan?"

"Not many." Meng Chengming answered honestly.

"Then please tell Ali to convey that I am interested in signing some young Taiwanese artists, but there are not many spots available." Xu Xiyu said.

"real or fake?"

"Really, but there are conditions."

"What conditions?"

"That means Qin Yao must win the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress. Once this goal is achieved, I will immediately open up a contract with her and focus on her training."

"But...but isn't this handled by Taiwen?" Meng Chengming lowered his voice and said, "Wouldn't it be bad if you let everyone know about this? I haven't even told Ali about this."

"I want everyone to know." Xu Xiyu laughed.

"Why? In this way, even if we get it, if someone is not careful enough to keep their mouth shut and leaks it, it would be better not to get the award. It will become a stain." Meng Chengming frowned.

"What we want is for them to keep their mouths shut. Do you think they can wait until they get it before leaking it?" Xu Xiyu asked back.

"No, what exactly do you want to do?" Meng Chengming didn't understand this time.

"Du Yuxiong is unreliable and is trying to take advantage of me. Even though Cheng Guangzu has contacted other Taiwanese investors, he still has no response and seems to have a sure win.

This time when "New Paradise·Wangxian" was launched, all kinds of news came to my ears, saying that he took the initiative to buy water army for me. Not only him, but also other Taiwanese investors were also buying water army to do me a favor.

They think that if this happens, I won't dare to touch them for fear of affecting the relationship." Xu Xiyu said in a light tone.

"This is the truth, big brother, please don't mess around."

"I won't do anything rash. Qin Yao and I will just be 'clowns' this time." Xu Xiyu continued.

"What do you mean?"

"As the ancients said, suffering a loss is a blessing." Xu Xiyu said this with his eyes narrowed and he laughed happily.
