Who said this top flow is crazy! This top flow is awesome!

Chapter 440 Pre-made Explosion vs. Superb Sunglasses King

Zhang Shumo didn't take Wang's prejudice to heart. Instead, he advised, "Old Wang, this is really good. I think this is a good opportunity."

"...You're the leader, so of course you have the final say."

Seeing Zhang Shumo's unwavering resolve, Deputy Chief Wang reiterated, "What can I say now that things have come to this?"

but……

"This time, Chi Ye has indirectly helped our traditional TV stations. I've heard a lot of rumors lately that everyone is competing for satellite TV broadcasting rights, striving for full coverage across TV and the internet... Now that we've secured the satellite broadcasting rights for Coconut's new drama, then..."

"Is it possible to ask Ikeno himself to help promote it? After all, it's his work too."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shumo hesitated instinctively. It wasn't that he didn't want Chi Ye to help with the publicity, but... Chi Ye didn't seem to have much time. He was a very busy person these days.

Moreover, the fact that Hunan TV has already chosen "My Sunshine" speaks volumes about the importance they place on it.

If it were him, he might have made the same choice. Although he personally loves "Joy of Life," he would still do it professionally. Ikeno's modern romance drama is undoubtedly number one, and no one can question that.

Perhaps, the other capital teams that are now waiting to compete with Yeguo are also afraid of the name "Ikeno Modern Romance" deep down. Therefore, looking at the candidates on the competition list, almost all of them have applied for ancient romance or suspense genres.

Few people mention "live-action idols," is it because there aren't any great works by live-action idols?

As one of the pioneers of idol dramas, and the only genre to have produced top stars in recent years (Chi Ye, Tao Cheng), how could it not have received heavy investment from capital?

Ultimately, it was just a matter of feeling guilty. Knowing that this time they were facing a contemporary romance drama written by Ikeno himself, they really didn't want to confront it head-on, so they resorted to this tactic.

Given that both launch at the same time, even if Ikeno were greedy, would he really "sacrifice the big to save the small"?

Zhang Shuma felt it was a bit risky.

"How will you know if you don't try?"

Deputy Station Chief Wang said, "There's no other way now. We've already spent so much money. If we can't produce results, our station will be completely ruined."

"...I'll contact the coconut jelly company and ask them."

It was only at this point that Zhang Shumo realized he might have acted impulsively this time. Perhaps "Joy of Life" would achieve good results, but perhaps what he liked might not be what the audience liked.

Moreover, this is during such a prime time, when there are so many great shows.

……

Ikeno Kazumi made his first public appearance this summer, being interviewed by He Jiong and recording a program, which caused a great sensation.

Specifically, even before the show ended, the two had already dominated Weibo's entertainment trending topics, and various clips of them were going viral on streaming platforms such as Douyin and Bilibili, maintaining their former status as top-tier celebrities.

This scene was quite surprising – which top celebrity can still generate this much buzz and discussion after announcing their relationship?
The most outrageous thing is how Ikeno managed to reverse public opinion without anyone noticing.

Almost without anyone noticing, the situation changed so naturally and smoothly.

From the initial shock and uproar when the official announcement was made, to the subsequent barrage of criticism and obsessive fans, to the current sympathy from bystanders, it's all so sweet and heartwarming...

Public opinion seemed to change in an instant, but upon closer examination, not to mention professionals in the industry, even ordinary passersby would think it was an extremely exaggerated achievement.

Chi Ye, or rather, Coconut Culture and the various marketing accounts that have collaborated with over the years, truly possess the most outstanding marketing thinking and methods in the industry. The company's growth is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface, nor is it just a matter of good luck.

"The current situation is a bit bad. I originally thought that Ikeno would suffer a huge loss this time, and that transitioning to behind-the-scenes work and capital would be the best outcome. But now it seems that, at the artist level, his public opinion and popularity are still very stable. Although he is not at the same level as before, he is still at least maintaining his top-tier position."

Penguin Video.

When the creators of "Royal Power and Wealth" walked in, they happened to hear some senior executives saying these things.

This is no secret. At least within the industry, the conflict between Tencent and Yego is almost public knowledge, even though, from a certain perspective, most of the current executives at Tencent Video are probably indebted to Yego.

After all, without coconuts, they certainly wouldn't be sitting in these positions now.

By eliminating so many senior executives from the video company at once, Ikeno, as an outsider, proactively carried out a major overhaul for Tencent, making the company healthier, younger, and more energetic.

It's a real shame we didn't ask the penguin for medical expenses. And the penguin was really ungrateful, not offering any help.

At this moment, Tan Yue, the second female lead in "Wang Quan Fu Gui", lowered her eyelashes. She looked quiet and gentle on the surface, with fair skin, but she was full of inner drama.

She is one of the most popular young actresses of the 02 generation in the Chinese entertainment industry, and the only one among this group who has "collaborated" with Chi Ye.

She played the role of the younger sister in the Hunan TV variety show "All the Way to Blooming Flowers". It was because of this show that she was able to gain a foothold in the 02 flower industry and become famous.

In recent years, as the older generation of top young actresses have either transformed their roles or started playing older supporting characters, the 02 actresses have officially entered their peak development period.

Tan Yue's company is very powerful, which is why she got the second female lead role in "Wang Quan Fu Gui," a top-tier historical drama with a four-character theme. Her ability to play the second female lead in such a drama speaks volumes.

However, despite starring in the show, Tan Yue herself was actually quite apprehensive about its quality. It wasn't that she was disloyal or didn't want things to go well for her; the main issue was that she noticed a problem during filming—TV series like "Wang Quan Fu Gui," adapted from comics, always seemed a bit strange in certain scenes.

But everyone seems to think the show is bound to be a huge hit, which makes her feel a little excited. Maybe she's overthinking it, but anyway, being able to act in this show has already proven her status to people both inside and outside the industry.

"coming."

At this moment, the Tencent executive who had spoken first saw the group, walked over with a smile, and shook hands with the four-character executive.

The director looked displeased upon seeing this, but he couldn't say anything in front of the high and mighty penguin. He just glanced at the four characters subconsciously.

The four characters didn't even notice this scene. What kind of director is he? He's just an old man who's been around for so many years and still hasn't made any progress. It's already an opportunity for him to be allowed to direct this movie. Why should we have to watch his face?

"Qianrui, you look even better than before, it's only been a few days."

The executive smiled and patted the four-character man on the shoulder, then led everyone into the adjacent meeting room: "We invited you all here today because there are some publicity-related matters that the platform needs your cooperation on."

"This time, we plan to make 'Wang Quan Fu Gui' our flagship work for Tencent this year. Before its release, we're going to throw a fantastic launch night!"

"A Fantastic Departure Night?"

Everyone was taken aback, clearly hearing this for the first time, and for a moment they didn't quite understand what the executive meant.

The executive explained, "It's similar to a preview screening or premiere of a movie."

"Oh..." "Ah..."

"what?"

The cast and crew of "Wang Quan Fu Gui" realized what was happening, and the veteran director, being rather straightforward, asked directly, "TV dramas are having premieres now? I really didn't know that. Times are changing so fast!"

"Ahem, this is the first time."

The executive glanced at the old director with dissatisfaction, thinking to himself, "No wonder he hasn't made it big all these years. He's just a guy who doesn't think before he speaks."
Do you think everyone is like Ikeno?

Besides, Ikeno isn't really brainless. How could being brainless affect his career advancement?
"We've decided to create a flagship project."

The supervisor said with a serious face: "What you need to do is cooperate well. Now I can give you a sneak peek. Although the headquarters was very dissatisfied with us last time, they were even more dissatisfied with that person over there."

"But things are different now. We're restricted and can't use those tactics anymore. We can only confront them head-on."

"Our boss has just arrived, and we really need to achieve some results. After all, the video company's performance has been very poor in recent years. This plan to create a flagship IP is a major project that our boss is strongly promoting."

"It's an honor that the IP 'Wang Quan Fu Gui' has been chosen. It's just the right time to launch it now, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. So, everyone must work together to make this IP a success, even if... we lose some money."

Upon hearing this, everyone instantly understood—they had struck it rich.

This is truly incredible luck.

It's hard to believe what it's like when a giant like Tencent starts unconditionally supporting a TV series.

But no matter what, they can now relax and shout – I'm famous!

As for data, results, and traffic?

It's not serious, because the executives were so blunt this time, which is already a clear indication that even if the performance is poor, Tencent will force it to be good.

With such a huge investment in a super IP, as long as the creators aren't idiots and the content isn't too terrible, it's bound to be a hit.

"Qianrui, be prepared. We have high hopes for you."

Finally, the executive affectionately told Chong Sizi, "You will be the next top star."

This can't even be called a hint; it's a blatant declaration to everyone: We're going to support this four-character name; get ready to welcome the new king of the Chinese entertainment industry.

His face remained relatively calm, after all, he was already a top star among young actors. However, deep down, he still felt a thrill and trembling excitement at what the executive had said.

Finally, it's finally my turn to sit in this spot...

Yes, even if we're going by seniority, it should be my turn. After Yu Yan comes Chi Ye, and after Chi Ye comes me, Lin Yangqianrui!
At this moment, he was absolutely certain, because in the past, when his works were broadcast, he would occasionally worry about the results and public opinion, but this time he was not worried. Tencent should handle everything well.

It feels so good to have a strong mountain to lean on.

I wonder how Chi Ye got to where he is today. Oh right... I forgot, he also started out as a kept man, so we're in the same boat.

……

In mid-month, Tencent officially scheduled the release of the super S+ series "Wang Quan Fu Gui" for the end of the month, the day before the National Day holiday. The choice of release date can be described as quite bold.

This year's National Day holiday film season has indeed expanded beyond the film industry to include television.

If the National Day holiday season used to be dominated by the film industry, this time, due to the unique nature of the TV drama industry and the special circumstances of this period, the TV drama industry has shone with unprecedented brilliance.

After all, everyone knows that the film industry elevates stars, while the drama industry promotes actors. If you really want to steal Chi Ye's popularity, you need a huge hit in the drama industry. As for the film industry? That's something to do after a huge hit.

"This has resulted in us having absolutely no starlight here this year."

Three days after the release date was set, a huge crowd gathered at an international conference center in the capital, where many celebrities were present.

Today marks the start of the "Wang Quan Fu Gui" fantasy launch night. The specific process is actually similar to a movie premiere, except that the main cast and crew of the TV series came out together, played some games, and then watched the preview of "Wang Quan Fu Gui".

It's probably similar to the "Da Feng Watchman" on Earth; both are shows that have a terrifying "I'm going to explode" vibe even before they air, which would scare anyone who watched them.

That's absolutely terrifying!
The person speaking was the producer of "The Mystery of the Past," another major historical drama starring Xiao Zhan that was moved up in the timeline.

Xiao Zhan's team originally wanted to move up the release date of a similarly rated historical romance drama, but unfortunately, that drama encountered some problems during the later stages of censorship—his resources in recent years have been exceptionally good, especially in the drama industry.

That's why we pulled this show up in the last minute under duress.

But it doesn't matter, the producer also serves as the supervisor in another drama, both of which are considered his own works, and the supervisor in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is the Imperial Preceptor.

This is the first time in so many years that the National Master has served as a producer for a TV series. Compared to "Wang Quan Fu Gui," which has recently been the most popular and even pioneered the "TV series premiere" in the domestic entertainment industry, "Gu Miao Ling" is a truly big-budget drama that has attracted much attention since its inception.

Because its executive producer is a national treasure, its production manager is a top-tier producer in the industry, and its director is—

"What's wrong with Wang Mojing? He said he was coming today, but he hasn't arrived yet?"

The producer glanced at his watch, looking somewhat displeased, and said to the screenwriter Qin Wenwen on the other side, "Try to urge him on."

"it is good."

Qin Wenwen nodded, picked up her phone and sent a WeChat message to Wang Mojing: "Director, we've all arrived. How long do you expect to be here?"

After a while, she turned back and said, "Director Wang said he had something come up today and won't be coming."

"grass."

The producer cursed once, but didn't say anything more, and led his people into the venue.

He absolutely had to be there today because he is one of the film and television people backed by Tencent. He is considered one of the best-performing old-school figures in the last decade. Unlike the Beijing circle, who are all rotten to the bone and have no sense of the market whatsoever, he is a bunch of old intellectuals.

He, on the other hand, was a true "tyrant".

Anyway, that's what he's always thought.

He poured a lot of effort into "The Decree of the Ancients," serving as director, producer, screenwriter, and lead actor. This drama is sure to become the hottest show this year, the No. 1 in this brief golden age.
