Entertainment: I just want to be the boss behind the scenes

Chapter 95 The wind blows

In October, "Psychological Crime" aired its final episode.

Seeing Fang Mu's mentor, Professor Qiao, dragging the murderer into the sea of fire with his old body, buying time for Fang Mu and Tai Wei to escape, the audience who have been following the series for more than a month felt both sad and relieved.

It is heartbreaking that another person close to the male protagonist died because of him. Except for the tough Captain Tai Wei, he became alone again.

It is comforting that because of the mentor’s voluntary sacrifice, the protagonist’s inner demons caused by the “Seventh Reader Case” were completely healed.

Just as everyone was watching Fang Mu half-dragging Tai Wei and preparing to escape from the dungeon, the murderer, who was already surrounded by the sea of fire and had nowhere to go, suddenly shouted to the male protagonist who was about to escape, "Fang Mu, this is not over yet, Q will come for you", and was then engulfed by the fire.

The audience who were ready to type "Ending" in the barrage were all stunned when they saw this scene.

What the hell? Who is this Q who suddenly appeared? Why did he come to find "Fang Mu"? Is there a hidden story behind the whole case?
"No, it's already the finale, but the screenwriter still hasn't forgotten to dig holes?"

"I deliberately waited for the finale to finish watching the last case in one go, just because I didn't want to wait and guess the answer, and you do this to me?"

"It's been more than half an hour since the first season ended, why hasn't the second season aired yet? I'm so angry!"

"I feel like this 'Q' sounds more like a code name for some organization or member. Will there be some kind of 'criminal group' in the next few episodes?"

"It must be an organization. I've already said that 'Criminal Minds' is the first in the 'Green Ivy Series Criminal Investigation Universe'. If you want to bring together a bunch of protagonists on the decent side, they have to have a common enemy."

"..."

For a time, the discussion about the ending of "Criminal Mind" and the "Green Ivy Series" once again aroused the audience's desire to discuss, and attracted a lot of attention at the end of the broadcast period.

With the end of the broadcast period, the total playback data of "Psychological Crime" has reached 6.5 million, which not only broke the 6 million playback data left by "So Young", but also blazed a new trail for the "suspense" theme in the current film and television market flooded with various youth films.

For the producers Arclight Films and Leshi.com, the success of "Psychological Crime" also laid a solid foundation for the entire "Green Ivy Series". Subsequent works can be released on this basis.

The only regret is that the score of "Psychological Crime" dropped slightly in the later period, from 8.2 points to 8 points.

Meng Bai and his team concluded that the main problem was with the script. Because they wanted to lay the groundwork for the next few works, they added a lot of plots to the "Criminal Investigation Captain Tai Wei" branch, which made some viewers feel that the later part was a bit dragged out.

There is nothing that can be done about this. When Meng Bai first started writing the script for "Psychological Crime", he had not yet thought of creating a "criminal investigation universe". It was simply the line of the male protagonist "Fang Mu".

Adding additional content to such a logically coherent story would inevitably destroy its integrity.

Including Wubai, they also said that the current handling is the best solution.

Taking advantage of the increasing attention of audiences and drama fans to the "Criminal Investigation Universe", Leshi.com and Arclight Films announced the pre-sale of the novel version of "Forensic Qin Ming", the second work in the "Green Ivy Series".

Compared to the somewhat abstract "criminal psychology", "forensic medicine" is undoubtedly a profession that many people have heard of but are unfamiliar with when they really talk about it.

Many people have a contradictory mentality towards works such as "forensic dramas": "I want to watch it, but I feel disgusted, but I still want to watch it."

In comparison, text novels without direct visual impact are undoubtedly a good buffer.

In particular, "Forensic Qin Ming" also has the reputation of "real forensic doctor, personal experience; adapted from real cases, professional science popularization", and its main focus is on one profession.

The popularity of the online drama and the curiosity of many people led to the number of reservations for "Forensic Qin Ming" rising to 3,000 within one day of the pre-sale link being posted. After that, the number of reservations increased by an average of 500 to 600 per day. The pre-sale designed by Meng Bai and his team is not as simple as clicking on it randomly online, but requires a deposit.

It has to be said that the success of "Criminal Mind" has indeed laid a good foundation for the entire "Green Ivy Series Criminal Investigation Universe".

ArcLight Pictures also released the progress of "Soul Ferry 2", stating that it is expected to be broadcast at the end of this year or early next year.

According to Meng Bai's idea, although "Soul Ferry" does not belong to the "Green Ivy Series", it is also a work of Arc Light Films. It is a good thing to warm up in advance with the recent momentum.

I thought there would be no more breaking news as the year draws to a close. But just as Arclight Pictures released the news about "Pendulum 2", Qiyi TV, which had been silent in the competition of "self-made web series" on video websites for more than a year, suddenly made a big news.

Qiyi TV stated that it will work with Huanrui Century to co-produce a web drama series adapted from the well-known IP "Grave Robbers' Chronicles". The planned starring lineup includes Li Feng, Yang Yang, Tang Yan and other popular actors who have become popular in recent years.

Needless to say, the influence of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" among young audiences is huge, and the announced cast list includes almost all of the actors with the highest current popularity. This news from Qiyi TV caused a huge stir and instantly became the latest center of entertainment public opinion.

When Liu Jun and Meng Bai were chatting, they cursed Qiyi TV for not waiting until next month or even next year to announce the news, and for trying to steal their popularity.

In the end, it was Meng Bai who comforted him and said that at least they didn't release it half a month in advance, but released it at the time of the finale of "Psychological Crime", which was already very considerate.

With the announcement of a series of leading cast lists and makeup photos, news about "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" has become a hot topic on the Internet.

As a long-established "tomb-raiding IP" that has been popular for many years along with "Ghost Blows Out the Light", the news that these two novels will be adapted and remade has been circulating for a long time. However, everyone knows that under the current censorship conditions, it is not possible for ordinary channels to film works of this theme.

Unexpectedly, the rumors that have been circulating for so many years have finally come true in this era of the rise of online dramas.

Many people immediately thought that since "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" can be filmed, then other "post-90s" youth memories such as "Ghost Blows Out the Light" and "Dragon Clan" can also be filmed through the online drama channel.

This has really opened up everyone's minds, and many netizens have been calling out to major film and television companies and video websites online to recommend the remakes they want to see.

It's true that quite a few investors are eager to enter this market and have begun to try to inquire about the film and television adaptation rights of some popular works. As a result, the concept of "IP" has begun to enter the eyes of netizens.

However, as the online drama market becomes increasingly popular, some negative public opinions have gradually begun to appear online.

"It's hard to imagine what the filmmakers' values are when they can film a story about tomb robbing, which is obviously a crime."

"How long has it taken the country to break feudal superstitions? Yet now ghosts can appear openly in film and television works. This is simply a step backward in history."

"And those melodramatic youth dramas, all about love, abortion, skipping school and fighting, aren't they deliberately corrupting young people?"

"I would like to ask these video websites, what is your intention? Just click on the list of online dramas and you will see bloody violence, weird supernatural things, and hedonism... all of these are such rubbish. I would like to ask how these things can help children and young people grow up?"

"No matter how well movies and TV series are made, they will at least check whether the theme is correct. But there is no censorship at all for online dramas. It all depends on the self-consciousness of the website and the production team. This is simply a joke!"

"We strongly urge that online dramas also undergo normal censorship!"

"..."

Various negative opinions against online dramas have emerged from all corners of the Internet, pointing directly at the current "weak censorship mechanism" of online dramas.
