The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 77 "The Beginning" is online

Xu Xing smiled.

Chen Dulin smiled.

Xu Xing laughed again.

Chen Dulin laughed again.

Xu Xing continued to laugh.

Chen Dulin continued to laugh.

Then Xu Xing spoke first.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"Not too long."

Chen Dulin looked at the busy staff beside her.

“Have you been running recently?”

Xu Xing asked, and also looked away, not looking at her again.

Just stand together and wait for the event to start.

"About once or twice a month," Chen Dulin replied, and then asked, "How about you?"

"In order to avoid disturbing the crew again, I found another hotel to stay in, which has a fitness area, and I got used to it every day."

Xu Xing said.

"Oh."

Chen Dulin responded and fell silent.

Xu Xing felt like there was nothing more to say.

After a while, Chen Dulin glanced at Xu Xing next to him, perhaps to speak again, but the host had already started inviting everyone to take their seats.

They moved forward together, kept smiling, and looked at the cameras held up by the reporters.

Sit down together in adjacent chairs.

"My agent has seen it in advance, and the quality of this drama should be good."

Xu Xing moved a little closer and whispered something to her.

Chen Dulin nodded.

It was not until the lights in the hall dimmed that she remembered that if Xu Xing hadn't looked at her, she wouldn't have seen her nod.

However, the opening credits of the first episode had already started playing on the screen.

Cool-toned images, quiet music, and simple animations.

Thinking back on it, it feels like this drama was filmed just yesterday, but it’s about to be officially aired.

……

Operating table.

Xiao Heyun, whose body was burnt, was rescued in vain and his electrocardiogram returned to zero.

But the next moment, the scene switched.

Xiao Heyun woke up suddenly gasping on the bus. He checked his body in disbelief and looked at everything around him in panic.

The camera pans across the passengers on the bus.

Xiao Heyun, who thought he was dreaming, just breathed a sigh of relief and looked around inadvertently.

Li Shiqing is sleeping.

His expression turned into disbelief.

End of episode one.

The lights in the hall came on.

There was thunderous applause.

Chen Dulin came back to his senses, subconsciously joined in the applause, and looked at Xu Xing beside him.

Xu Xing was also clapping and looking over with a smile.

Chen Dulin also laughed.

The quality of this first episode made her feel reassured.

If asked about her shortcomings, Chen Dulin would honestly admit that it was her acting skills.

Xu Xing felt that she performed better than when she was filming on the set.

The character is completely different from Xu Taiyu, introverted, easily broken, and weak in appearance - in fact, in some places you can see that she has a good figure, but Xu Xing's "weak chicken" temperament is very good. Chen Dulin once felt that Xu Xing seemed to be Xiao Heyun.

But in fact, she had deeply experienced that Xu Xing was far from being like that.

Xu Xing only appears to be gentle, kind, frugal and modest, but his inner self, which is not easily exposed, is almost the opposite of all this...

……

The applause lasted for a long time.

The media at the scene were extremely excited.

Even though the news that Xu Xing had been circulating the script of the first five episodes of "The Beginning" in the circle had already spread, it was generally recognized in the circle that the quality of the script was indeed good.

But after seeing the finished drama, they were convinced that this unique genre drama was truly a success.

The film has a strong sense of freshness and a tight rhythm. In just one episode, the heroine wakes up four times, and leaves a hook for the hero to wake up, making people eager to know how the subsequent plot develops.

The male protagonist also joins the cycle?

The prerequisite for joining the loop is death?

Is anyone else in the loop?
Why did the bus explode?
What will the heroine try next?

Can you finally escape the cycle?
...It's full of suspense.

Although there are many foreign films with the same theme, such as "Groundhog Day" and "Source Code", when watching "The Beginning", I feel that this story belonging to China is no less impressive and the sense of immersion is stronger!
There has been a new breakthrough in the subject matter of domestic dramas!

And these are just the meaning of this drama itself.

Leshi is able to bet on producing such a drama, and it dares to try unacceptable themes. It is really still innovating the industry and is really aligning with high-quality European and American dramas!
Leshi.com overtakes again?
For Xu Xing who can write such a story himself, what is the ceiling for his future development?
At a time when young and handsome actors are increasingly criticized by the audience for wasting resources and being unworthy of their positions, and when all kinds of capital are still focusing on monetizing traffic, Xu Xing is really different!
Not only does he have his own traffic, he can also produce his own content!

After the broadcast of "The Beginning", to what extent will the capital and audiences in this era of traffic pursue him?
Well, I just watched one episode, or in other words, before coming here today, I had already drafted several possible directions that I could write in order to make this drama a success.

But after watching it, the feelings in my heart are deeper and more real!
When it came to the media question-and-answer session, everyone rushed to raise their hands to ask questions.

"In fact, the focus of this script is not on the hero and heroine escaping the cycle, but it focuses more on the discussion of human nature. Maybe it is the shell that attracts everyone now, but I hope that its core can touch everyone."

Take a look!

This is Xu Xing’s answer!
This is what the media wants to hear most!
The story is well told and the theme is even better!

“The song “Under Investigation” and the animation in the opening do hint at some details. But actually, the first episode reveals more information than what is seen on the surface.”

"The loop does have an upper limit, and there are side effects, which will be gradually revealed in the next few episodes. So as the number of loops increases, there will be more and more urgency."

"Uh... why is it the female lead who is in charge, rather than the male lead? This will create a contrasting dramatic effect, and it is also a choice of narrative angle, a different way of thinking to solve the mystery. And after watching the last episode, it should also explain why it is set up this way."

"The new script is indeed almost finished. But I still hope everyone will focus on "The Beginning" first. This is the beginning of everything. It is from this time that everything that happened later happened. This is my beginning...haha~ Yes, it is Agatha's "The Long Night", I like this novel very much."

……

"Qingqing, what live broadcast are you watching? Why do I seem to hear Xing Gou's voice?"

Zhen Wei pushed the door open, put down her pink backpack, and walked over to complain.

Ever since her best friend Xin Youqing sang "Little Lucky" after watching a movie, and ever since her biological mother, who was highly suspected to have gone to see "Our Girlhood", Zhen Wei called out Xing Gou without caring about her personal qualities.

Let me make my attitude clear: I am an Apricot Dog hater, please respect me.

"Yes, his "Beginning" was released today. Leshi held a premiere, and Douyu was live-streaming the Q&A session."

Xin Youqing answered very naturally.

It was as if he didn't hear the word "Xing Gou" at all.

"..."

Zhen Wei really wanted to criticize again.

"You came at an unfortunate time. It just ended."

Xin Youqing said again.

Zhen Wei had a question mark on her mind.

Isn't this just in time?
"It just so happens that 'The Beginning' is also being broadcast. I subscribed to Leshi's membership today. Let's watch it together."

Xin Youqing invited with a gentle smile.

"..."

Zhen Wei gritted her teeth.

Work hard on your language.

Too bad it's not organized yet.

The opening credits were skipped, a few commercials were played, and then the TV series screen appeared.

"I want to call the police. There is a bomb on the No. 45 bus. They are about to cross the river bridge..."

I want to call the police too!
Zhen Wei wailed in her heart!
