Huayu's rise from top star to best actor

Chapter 134 When the Tide Recedes, Who is Swimming Naked?

While still in the car, Xu Yien received a call from the production team of Chen Xiang Ru Xie.

After learning about today's impromptu recording, I asked a designated driver to go to the recording studio arranged by the production company.

This time, the main focus is on recording songs for TV series soundtracks.

Xu Yien doesn’t have many schedules now, and his inventory is not in the promotion stage, so there is not much promotion.

It’s just a way to make money, and business will automatically be done by face recognition.

There were also many other business people vying for it, but Xu Yien didn't pay too much attention to it. Those who should come to him would still come to him, and he didn't feel any sense of crisis.

Now that I don't need to work, I'm... pretty free.

Coming to the recording studio, Xu Yien mainly recorded an OST this time. Although Xu Yien is not a professional singer, her singing is really nice.

I rushed to the scene, received temporary training from the vocal teacher, and began to prepare to sing the song.

The song is called “No Forgetting”;
The songs in fantasy dramas and costume dramas are basically in ancient style.

It is really rare to see English interspersed in the song "Fire of the Heart" by Hua Qiangu, and it is even a bit strange. I felt it was awkward when I watched it back then, and it is even more so now.

However, a good costume drama will also have popular fan songs.

For example, a male audience member of "Word of Honor" wrote a popular ancient style song "Borrowing the Moon".

You may not be clear from the name, but most people who watch short videos have heard the saying "It's a pity that we are already far apart~ I will use this moonlight to look at you again. No matter how miserable you are, I will always watch over you~"

This song is about the story of Wen Kexing and Zhou Zishu, and it is really popular.

The key point is... this male fan of the singer is a bald muscular man.

Although it was ridiculed as a hit drama in Pingdingshan, it did make Gong Jun, the silly and naive character, a top star. No wonder Zhou Ye and him played brother and sister, both of them have silly personalities. I want to laugh when I see Gong Jun's interview.

The main reason is that Cool Factory is too lame. If it were on other platforms, the number of views would definitely double. Only a few people watch Cool Factory's dramas, so there's really no comparison. But as long as Cool Factory can make money, that's fine.

"Word of Honor" is considered very popular with an average of 3200 million per episode on Cool Factory, while "Liu Li" only has an average of 2700 million per episode. An average of 3500 million per episode is enough to compete for the annual championship on Cool Factory.

As for the so-called 5 million per episode of "Love OO", it is pure nonsense.

You have to know that in 2016, Youku had only 3000 million members. It is impossible for each member to watch it 16 times.

Not to mention that the ratings for Weiwei’s dual-channel broadcasts didn’t even exceed 1%;

CCTV has long since exposed the fake broadcast volume of dramas such as "Love O90O", "Princess Agents" and "Eternal Love", and found that the water injection rate exceeded %, which is really exaggerated.

It was only in the past two years that the playback data of domestic entertainment began to really become dehydrated.

It’s simply because Xu Yien didn’t issue a press release, otherwise Xu Yien would be even better at bragging than Yang Yang.

"Love O2O" is far behind "Go Go Squid!" in terms of data and ratings on any platform.

The current domestic entertainment industry has gradually become dehydrated, and it is clear who is swimming naked.

This can be seen from the quality of Yang Yang and Li Xian’s endorsements.

Yang Yang started out as a brand ambassador for Dunhill, but Li Xian was immediately appointed as the brand spokesperson for Zegna. These two brands are of the same level.

After that, the two of them moved to Valentino and Prada respectively. In this regard, Li Xian won. Not only was Li Xian the spokesperson for Blue Blood, he also participated in two rounds of global advertising.

Because Li Xian is the real big hit, Yang Yang might not be able to catch up even if he doubles his popularity. Now that Tiantian Years and History Books say Wei Wei is so popular, it's hard to judge...

The key point is that some people have been fooled and become fans of dramas with inflated broadcast data.

They even praised this drama to the point of being the best in the world and calling it a cultural export. Don’t they feel guilty about praising it so much?
It is an exaggeration to use the number of TV drama views on YouTube as cultural export. There are also streaming platforms overseas like iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video that specialize in watching TV dramas.

"Can't Hide It" ranked as high as 13th on Netflix's global rankings, which is much better than the much-vaunted "Love OO".

After Yang Yangweiwei became popular, how many active fans did she have who signed in to her super topic? 10!
How many active fans signed in to the super topic after Li Xian’s intimate scene became popular? - 36!
There's really no comparison.

It's impossible that your fan conversion rate of 5 million episodes played is lower than the fan conversion rate of 1 million episodes played on the three platforms?

Taking back the derivative topic, Xu Yien listened to the instructor's words.

From then on, the recording of "Never Forget" officially began. Even without wearing a costume, Xu Yien could get into the role of "Ying Yuan" at any time.

"The world between heaven and earth is like meeting for the first time

The passing of time cannot be stopped

I once borrowed your eyes to warm the coldest moment
Crossing the Forgetful River, yet unable to forget this life's fate
The boundless ocean follows you and lingers

Love is hard to express, always stuck between teeth

How can I resolve the thousands of years I have wasted and the countless emotions I have?

Only when you forget the deadline can love be fulfilled."

Sometimes, when filming, I feel like these characters really appear in my mind.

Even though he didn't see the finished product after filming, as an actor, Xu Yien actually read the script from beginning to end, and basically had a chronological plot in his mind.

"Love is engraved in my heart at first sight, I jump for you

Once the ephemeral flower fades, I am willing to stay in this life and live up to its promise

Keeping your last glimpse, why fear missing you in reincarnation
Your heart keeps beating in mine"

We recorded it six or seven times, with various adjustments and the instructor's last-minute advice in the middle. All in all, it took about an hour. Even without any audio editing, the recording still sounded pretty good.

At least the interlude won't distract the audience from the show by listening to unpleasant singing.

If the singing was bad, the cast of "Chang Xiang Si" would not have allowed themselves to sing Xiangliu's character song "The Unwaiting Wait".

Although professional things should be done by professionals, the lead singer singing the OST will add color as long as it sounds good. For example, "Sword Wound" sung by Li He in "Gu Jian Qi Tan" is also a good song.

It will be taken off the shelves in a few years. Xu Yien has already saved it to the network disk in advance. After all, Xu Yien was also a fan of this drama at that time.

The theme songs of Agarwood Like Crumbs and Longing for Love were also sung by Jay Chou, one of which was "Agarwood" sung with Jane Zhang, and the other was "Record of Red Dust" sung solo;
Brother Jie is a talent show singer who has been popular in mainland China since the millennium.

He is really suitable for singing majestic ancient style songs. When he sings the theme song, it feels like the level of the TV series is elevated.

He has too many classic OSTs, including "Sword Heart" from Swords of Legends, "Vague" from The Return of the Condor Heroes, "Execution" from The Legend of Chusen, "Eternal Love" from Love of Dreams, "Sunshine" from Love of Siam, and "Just Be Ordinary" from Medicine God.

Especially Chen Xiao's version of "The Return of the Condor Heroes", although it was criticized as ugly.

But no one has ever questioned this Yang Guo and the theme song.

Chen Xiao is very handsome and "Haohan" sounds nice.

After saying hello to this side, Xu Yien retreated alone.

It would take about three to six hours for a drunk driver to go undetected after drinking a bottle of beer.

Xu Yien found another designated driver and decided not to go to the photosynthetic building blocks. He went home to exercise first. He had eaten a lot in the past few days, so he had to exercise like crazy...

Don’t be fooled by the fact that Song Qian and Dilraba eat all the time. They also exercise regularly. The only difference is that girls usually do Pilates and yoga, which is different from boys.

……

……

The next step is to follow the routine and check in at Photosynthesis Building Blocks every day.

By the way, Song Qian asked her to shoot a show, and she also called some friends to join, otherwise "My Daughter" would be filmed like "Daughters' Love".

Although I don’t get any announcement fees, the variety shows on Mango TV are still good.

If Xu Yien really were to participate in a variety show, she would feel a little uncomfortable, unless it was a reality show. This is what Xu Yien still thinks now.

For example, Mango TV's "My Little Boy" last year also received a lot of attention. It's quite funny to watch when you have nothing to do, especially when Wu Yi puts his bed in the living room and eats takeout while sitting on it. It's no wonder that he has so many jokes, because this guy is really funny.

He’s just not handsome enough, otherwise this kind of silly character would attract a lot of fans.

Gong Jun's personality is similar to his.

Today, Zhou Ye came to see Xu Yien again, and asked Xu Yien to go skiing with him. He ran directly to the underground garage in Xu Yien's community before calling him.

Since she was here, Xu Yien couldn't possibly refuse to see her, so he simply told her how to get upstairs and which floor she lived on.

The doorbell rang, and Xu Yien walked slowly to open the door. She saw Zhou Ye, who was wearing a white floral dress and a ponytail. She smiled, revealing two dimples, and said cutely, "Do you have a chance to treat me to a meal you cooked for me today?"

"You're here, how can I not do it?"

"There's a chance today, right? Why didn't you have a chance last time?"

"It's hard to say. It depends on my mood."

"cut."

Bringing Zhou Ye to the living room, she also looked at Xu Yien's living room furnishings curiously, and saw the refrigerator filled with photos. She smiled and said, "You smile happily in every photo~"

"Since we're taking pictures, of course we have to be happy."

"After we work together, let's post a few more photos of us. What do you think, Brother Yien?" Zhou Ye turned around and looked for Xu Yien.

At this time, Xu Yien was looking for ingredients in the refrigerator. She made an OK gesture and happily went over to ask, "What delicious dishes are there?"

"What do you want to eat?"

"It's all fine. As long as it's made by you, I'll eat more if it tastes good. Even if it doesn't taste good... I'll still eat more!" Zhou Ye puffed out his ordinary chest and said seriously.

Xu Yien was amused by her playful look: "Is that so? Don't blame me if it doesn't taste good. I'm not responsible."

"I believe in your cooking skills. I asked around, and they all said your cooking is delicious."

"Really? Who praised me like that?"

"Zeng Shunxi."

"He didn't say anything bad about me, did he?"

He asked again: "Don't hide it for him. If he says something bad about me, I will teach him a lesson."

Zhou Ye raised an eyebrow, a smile never faltering on his face, and said, "No, he just said all kinds of good things about you, like how you're very caring on the set, how you're even more handsome in person than in photos, and how you have a lot of temperament, etc."

"He's smart, otherwise I'd definitely cause trouble for him."
