Huayu timely rain, they forced me to be the top star

Chapter 118 Shi Shi: Little Liu Yifei is very angry
Naza and Zhao Liying gently moved their chairs and sat together, with gossipy gleams in their eyes.

Liu Yifei certainly cannot stand having her merits turned into debts, and will have a good talk with Zhang Yang about it.

There's something good to watch!
"I hope your explanation will satisfy me." Liu Yifei crossed her arms, a half-smile in her eyes.

She was not angry because she knew that Zhang Yang was not the kind of person who would make a fuss.

She was even more curious about how Zhang Yang could have secured the second male lead role in "So Young" without her help, and why he seemed to resent her.

She also wanted to hear why she had to be the one being thanked when she acted in "So Young".

"It's still early for the food to come, so I'll help you solve your confusion." Zhang Yang tapped his phone: "You can log in to Weibo and take a look. As expected, I'm currently number one on the trending searches, and the popularity on other platforms is similar."

Nazha and Zhao Liying immediately took out their mobile phones, and Liu Yifei was not slow either.

Hot search 1: [Legend of Jiang Yuyan VS Legend of Zhao Kuangyin]

Hot search 2: [Zhang Yang is the most handsome emperor in ancient costume]

Seeing these two trending searches, the three girls were a little surprised.

Zhang Yang is actually on the hot search!

"Your method is to buy trending searches?" A puzzled look appeared on Liu Yifei's beautiful face: "This kind of fake popularity will not affect Yan Zi's regard for you. Your competitor is Han Geng."

Han Geng terminated his contract with Peninsula Shamao last year and participated in the CCTV Spring Festival Gala at the beginning of the year. He is very popular now and his annual income this year is definitely higher than that of Liu Yifei.

As the second male lead, such an artist must have more box office appeal than Zhang Yang, so Liu Yifei thinks she has made a great contribution.

The biggest reason why Liu Yifei gave the credit to Zhang Yang at the audition.

"I don't have money to buy trending searches, especially those with a lot of likes and comments." Zhang Yang's smile remained unchanged: "This is a spontaneous trending search, which represents the topic and popularity. You can take a look at the content."

The three girls immediately clicked on the trending words.

First is [The Legend of Jiang Yuyan VS the Legend of Zhao Kuangyin].

A blogger edited a video and suggested that "Jiang Yuyan was killed and only the title of the play remained" should be renamed "The Legend of Jiang Yuyan."

[This is my childhood shadow. The last shadow was Xu Yingying in "The Legend of Beauty".]

[I didn't notice it before, I just thought this woman was cruel, but now I realize that she killed everyone in this drama except Xiaoyuer and Hua Wuque. ]

[Really killed, only the title of the play is left, but it's a pity that he fell in love with Hua Wuque and died in the end. 】

[He wasn't really a love-brained person. He was cruel enough to Hua Wuque and even made her one of his concubines. He died because he was too crazy.]

[In this play, Jiang Yuyan works hard at her career and almost becomes a character like Wu Zetian.]

【.】

Everyone started talking about Jiang Yuyan.

This discussion spontaneously formed a topic and gradually spread throughout the entire Internet.

Then someone mentioned "The Empress of China" which was broadcast two months ago, saying that Zhao Kuangyin was also a pleasant surprise.

[Indeed, although Zhao Kuangyin liked Ma Fuya, he was also devoted to his career, so he became Emperor Taizu of Song.]

[I didn't feel anything until I said it, but once I said it, I found that it was really the case. Every time there was love and conspiracy, it would be cut to Zhao Kuangyin leading troops to fight, getting promoted and making money, and finally becoming the first emperor.]

[To Zhao Kuangyin, Ma Fuya was his white moonlight. He devoted all his efforts to his career for her, but in the end he chose to watch silently from behind, only calling her sister, and not realizing the importance of a romantic mind.]

[Youku has a version of Zhao Kuangyin with all the plots edited together. It can be watched as a new drama. I watched it several times. This actor is super handsome in both fighting and literary scenes, and most of them are long shots.]

[Zhao Jingniang is my white moonlight, Zhao Kuangyin was blind not to choose her but Ma Fuya. ]

[The actor who plays Zhao Kuangyin is really good-looking. He was young and immature before, but now he is handsome and generous. 】

[I think no one would disagree if I said Zhang Yang is the most handsome emperor in ancient costume. He is both civil and military, righteous and sincere.]

【.】

The discussion started with Jiang Yuyan and finally extended to Zhao Kuangyin.

Many people still think that both of them are unique supporting characters, and the different endings are because Zhao Kuangyin is not a love-minded person.

This topic is very eye-catching and many people participated in the discussion. Many of them were attracted by Zhang Yang who played Zhao Kuangyin.

Some people have also initiated a vote for the most handsome emperor. If the actor who played the best and most in line with the image of the emperor is included, there are veteran actors such as Chen Daoming, Chen Baoguo, as well as Huang Xiaoming's Emperor of Han Dynasty, etc., which may be controversial.

But in terms of image and handsomeness alone, Zhang Yang, who was already rated as one of the five beauties in the world when the show was first broadcast, was elected with almost no controversy and a high vote.

At this time, Liu Shishi posted a Weibo, which was a beautiful picture of Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Jingniang's reunion.

[Liu Shishi]: This couple is so cute. I even went to watch "A Thousand Miles to Send Jing Niang Off". If anyone can write a fan fiction story about this couple ending up together, I will definitely give it a thumbs up.

With the traffic of the new first-line actress, this topic was completely ignited and became popular all over the Internet.

This is different from using money to buy simple exposure. It is real heat that adds to the exposure.

"You are really good at hype." Liu Yifei gave this evaluation after reading it carefully.

It is obvious that the emergence of the topic of Jiang Yuyan's legend, and its later introduction to Zhao Kuangyin in "The Empress of China", were all caused by the internet trolls arranged by Zhang Yang.

It caught the attention of many people in a subtle way, and they spontaneously became part of the topic, bringing popularity and exposure to Zhang Yang's creation.

Liu Shishi’s traffic blessing is the final charge.

"It's okay, just average." Zhang Yang smiled modestly.

"You're not okay." Zhao Liying "undermines" her: "I always feel that you can turn clouds into rain with a flip of your hand."

Naza and Liu Yifei immediately looked at her with curiosity.

"Boss, can I tell you?" Zhao Liying stared at Zhang Yang with her big eyes.

Zhang Yang's mouth twitched slightly: "It's up to you."

"That's right." Zhao Liying started speaking immediately.

He just told the story about what happened between him and Yang Mi.

After listening patiently, Liu Yifei smiled at Zhang Yang and said, "It seems that I will have to trouble you for my public relations needs in the future."

"Just pay enough money." Zhang Yang nodded seriously: "The service will definitely be good and worth the money."

Liu Yifei said in an unpleasant voice, "Tsk!" Then she said, "This can indeed bring you temporary popularity and exposure, but it's still far from Han Geng's."

"Ma Yili owes me a favor, so she will speak for me." Zhang Yang calmly drank a sip of water: "And Sister Ziwei."

"This kind of marketing actually has the intention of stepping on the leading actors to gain popularity. If it is put on the airing of the drama, it will offend people."

"But I contacted Sister Ziwei in advance and told her that there was a way to bring new popularity and attention to The Empress of China, so that the second round of copyright sales of this drama would be better."

"When the second round of "The Empress of China" is broadcast, I will get more continuous exposure and attention due to the recent topics." "Sister Ziwei agreed to my doing this, and in return she owed me a favor and promised to speak for Yan Zi on my behalf."

"With so many people talking to me, Yan Zi must want to know more about me. With her connections, it shouldn't be difficult for her to find out about me."

"The important supporting role in Stephen Chow's movie Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons and one of the two male protagonists in Tangren's latest fairy tale masterpiece Xuan-Yuan Sword will impress her!"

Others may not know how much Stephen Chow's movies can make people successful, but Yan Zi, who starred in "Shaolin Soccer", definitely knows.

Tangren has recently achieved success with "Startling by Each Step", and its fantasy dramas include "The Legend of Sword and Fairy I" and "The Legend of Sword and Fairy III".

We can fully expect Xuan-Yuan Sword to be a success. Even if it is not a hit, it will be a popular drama, and Zhang Yang's popularity will increase a lot.

But the remuneration required for signing the contract now is very low, far less than that of the famous Han Geng.

Swallow still doesn’t know how to choose?

“Clap, clap, clap!” Liu Yifei clapped her hands: “You’ve done so much to get this role, awesome.”

"Have you done a lot?" Zhang Yang smiled without comment.

In fact, he just asked Cai Yinong to lend him people for simple hype, and the other things were just taking advantage of the situation.

Things like more continuous exposure, a more topical character, gaining Ziwei's favor and help, getting roles, etc., are all incidental.

"But all I have done is not as good as the impact brought by your participation." Zhang Yang pretended to be aggrieved: "When the time comes, others will misunderstand that I got the role because of you, and I will be a passive gigolo."

The third girl: “.”

Is this what you mean by a bit of resentment?
It's really a good deal to get a bargain.

"Heh." Liu Yifei rolled her eyes and skipped the topic directly: "Then you say I should thank you?"

She is coming to act in "So Youth", and Yan Zi will have to accept it.

"That's right." Zhang Yang nodded heavily.

It seems that Liu Yifei has used up all her luck in those TV series, and her movies have all been flops.

Until she returned to the television industry, not even one of the movies she starred in had a box office of over 600 million yuan, and most of them did not even exceed 300 million yuan.

Not only were the movies not popular at the box office, they were also not well received. The biggest reward for her acting in these movies was the various beautiful pictures she took.

Even though "So Young" used only newcomers in the film industry, it was in 7 that a youth film grossed over 11 million yuan at the box office.

It can be said that this will be Liu Yifei's best-performing and only critically and commercially successful film 25 years ago.

Who are you thanking?

"What's the reason?" Liu Yifei raised her eyebrows, wanting to hear Zhang Yang's long talk.

But Zhang Yang didn't plan to say more, instead he asked: "If, I mean if, the box office of this movie exceeds 5 million, do you think you should thank me?"

"Are you crazy?" Liu Yifei looked strange.

Currently, there are only six movies in mainland China with box office revenue of over 3 million yuan. Excluding "Avatar", "Transformers 2" and "Kung Fu Panda ", the only Chinese-language movies are "Aftershock", "Let the Bullets Fly" and "The Flowers of War". All of them have investments of over million yuan and are works by big directors.

Yan Zi is a new director. With an investment of 60 million, she is shooting a youth film. Can she catch up with these three big directors at the box office?
Even though the times are changing, there are more cinemas and prices are rising, Liu Yifei feels that "So Young" is not good.

So when she came to act in the movie directed by Yan Zi, any normal person would think she was there to help.

"Just think of me as crazy." Zhang Yang's expression remained unchanged: "If this is a movie that can make over 500 million at the box office, do you think you should thank me?"

"If so, then!" Liu Yifei nodded slightly.

"Okay, I remember." Zhang Yang grinned, "Thank me when the time comes."

Liu Yifei: “.”

"What if it doesn't come?"

"Then don't thank me." Zhang Yang had an expression that said "what else do you want?"

Liu Yifei: “.”

The fist is a little hard.

At the same time, Yan Zi was indeed understanding him as Zhang Yang thought.

"You heard it, too."

By the time dinner was over, Yan Zi had learned all the information she needed and said to several people in charge, "He has a role in a movie directed by Zhou Xingchi that will be aired soon, and he will be the male lead in a fairy tale drama that will be aired by Tangren. Both will be aired before our movie is released, so it's hard to say how popular he will be by then."

"His current salary is much cheaper than Han Geng's, and he even persuaded Liu Yifei to act in our movie. You have seen his acting skills."

"What's the reason not to choose?"

Everyone: "."

There really is no reason.

The female lead, the second male lead, the second female lead and the third female lead have all been decided.

Soon Cai Yinong received a call from "So Young".

"." Cai Yinong pinched her arm.

"What's wrong, Sister K?" Liu Shishi put down the script.

"Zhang Yang got the second male lead in So Young." Cai Yinong replied.

"This is not very normal." Liu Shishi was not surprised.

They also knew that Ma Yili gave Zhang Yang this resource.

"And also helped Naza successfully get the second female lead." Cai Yinong said again.

Liu Shishi was a little surprised, with a smile on her face: "Sister K, you are going to use resources to thank him again."

"I plan to give him some roles in Tangren's next few dramas and let him use them to exchange resources." Cai Yinong has already thought about what to do, and then sighed: "He also did something outrageous."

"What?" Liu Shishi was curious.

It could even be described by Cai Yinong as outrageous.

"He persuaded Liu Yifei to play the leading female role in this play."

Liu Shishi: ???

Little Liu Yifei was very angry.
