Huayu's rise from top star to best actor

Chapter 177: CCTV- broadcast, popularity exceeded

Finally, Lotus Tower was officially broadcast on CCTV-8 during prime time.

Although it is not a prime time show, being able to be broadcast on TV is a victory.

【#莲花楼央视定档0808#故人逢，江湖梦。电视剧《莲花楼》将于8月8日起CCTV-8 21:30每晚播出。

Watch Li Lianhua @Xu Yien, Fang Duobing @Zeng Shunxi Joseph, Di Feisheng @MIC Xiao Shunyao Aero join hands to solve strange cases, restore the truth and uphold justice.

CCTV’s copywriting is very simple.

Very honest.

Only the names of the three main characters are written, and the others with smaller roles are not even mentioned.

"Failed halberds and sunken boats, the past is just a prologue; holding a sword by lamplight, how can a commoner not be a hero! Finally, I can travel the world of martial arts and solve mysteries with Li Lianhua in front of the TV!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhh looking forward to the Lotus Tower!!"

"Lotus Tower is on the star, great news! We can now watch Lotus Tower on TV~"

"Lotus Tower is coming! CCTV8, starting August 8th at 8:9 pm. See you there."

Other satellite channels are actually pretty good too.

But it's on CCTV.

That is indeed something to celebrate.

Come on, this is CCTV!
Abbreviated as "Bai Keyang";
The reason why many dramas on online drama platforms fail to be broadcast on satellite TV is because the TV stations don’t want to spend so much money.

TV stations pay less now, so they still rely on popular variety shows to make a living.

After all, if the ratings aren't good, wouldn't it be a waste of money? It would be better to buy the rights to broadcast a show that's already doing very well on other channels for who knows how many rounds, since the ratings are just that anyway.

Mango TV’s main reason for success is because of its online platform.

Only then do we dare to make big-budget TV series.

Nowadays, production companies have to give priority to giving profits to online platforms because online platforms pay money quickly.

Even though "Camp of Love" has been criticized, it can definitely make a lot of money. After all, it broke the record of "My Human Fireworks" and had nine advertisers when it first aired.

It depends on whether advertisers will continue to invest in the future. If advertisers run away, it means that the broadcast effect of the series has not met expectations.

After all, advertisers pay real money and can obtain the most authentic data. Otherwise, they would not spend a lot of money on this advertisement.

Even if the broadcast effect is average, it can prove that the male and female protagonists have advertising appeal, and there will be room for praise no matter what.

If the actors are really unknown and have no commercial value, the series will basically be broadcast without any advertisements.

It’s just that advertising is another way to make money.

Another aspect is that it is based on the VIP viewing time of the shared-revenue drama, and naked broadcasting can also make money.

There is no doubt that it is more profitable as proven by advertising.

Since Xu Yien and Zeng Shunxi were busy filming, CCTV-8 only interviewed Xiao Shunyao and Chen Duling.

Chen Duling is well-educated, so what she said was very relatable. As for Xiao Shunyao, he was even more involved, acting very attentively and thinking the role through.

Chen Duling hopes Lotus House brings positive energy to everyone. Chen Duling said Qiao Wanwan is a female warrior who dares to love and hate. Between love and the moral code of the underworld, she prioritizes the moral code. This role brings her a sense of light and hope. Click on the video to hear her story.

#Xiao Shunyao fulfills his childhood dream of a martial arts hero in Lotus Tower# "As effortlessly free as a wielder among the trees, his swordsmanship glitters like shadows." Di Feisheng in Lotus Tower is universally known as the great villain and Lee Sang-yi's only rival. What kind of character is he, in @MICXiao ShunyaoAero's eyes? How does he compare to the heroes of his childhood dreams? Click on the video to hear Xiao Shunyao describe his vision of the martial arts world!

Seriously, these two videos.

Some people also read Xiao Shunyao's.

After all, fans of the show all love Ah Fei.

But Chen Duling's KPI is not very good. After all, not many people like the role of Qiao Wanwan. The only thing that the audience likes about this character is Li Lianhua's line: "Awan, it's not something you need to blame yourself for not loving someone anymore."

That’s all.

"Xiao 8 Xiao 8? Why isn't there an interview with Yi En?!"

"Requesting an interview with Yi En!!"

"I want to see the interview with Yi En and Shun Xi!"

CCTV TV series’ Weibo accounts basically don’t reply.

Because it's official.

Always replying too actively will make people suspect that you are using public resources for personal gain, so I only send text messages and don’t reply to them.

It is impossible to operate sub-skin just by looking at what the comments say.

They are not leaders, they are just workers.

CCTV-8 is now quite looking forward to the performance of Lotus Tower.

After all, it is also a positive martial arts drama.

For Xu Yien.

+1 for satellite performance, +1 for CCTV performance, double harvest of word-of-mouth and traffic, upgraded and new endorsements.

The bonus of "Lotus Tower" is still not small.

The reason why it doesn’t seem to have as much of a bonus as the first two dramas is that Xu Yien’s fan base is already so large and the traffic is sufficient.

This time the main purpose was to gain recognition and maintain stable traffic, and even to go a step further. It was quite comfortable to take steady steps one by one.

On August 8, CVB's first-day ratings came out at 9%, which is a result worthy of popping champagne. If it were a city network, the ratings could be inflated three or four times. As long as they are shameless, the city network can inflate the ratings like crazy.

The ratings of the Mango TV station on the city network usually broke 1 or 2%, but it was removed by the CVB on the top peak. Even 0.5% is a very high ratings. In addition to this good news.

There is another good news.

The total number of barrage interactions for "Lotus Tower" exceeded 2.5 million, and the popularity on the site finally exceeded !

The leading actors all sent congratulations on Weibo.

The official Weibo account also released a new poster that has received over 10,000 views. This poster has been in the works for at least half a year.

Especially after the show started, I kept waiting, and after more than ten days, the number of views finally exceeded 10,000.

Otherwise it would be embarrassing if this picture can't be released...

(The illustration feature isn't very useful, as it only works with 16:9 images, but it's still better than before, as you can now view the images directly within the main text.)
In short, the play "Lotus Tower" far exceeded expectations.

The production company will probably make a lot of money, after all, Kiwi still has to give them the final payment.

I guess we can give more after the show is finished. If the broadcast effect exceeds expectations, the platform will add money.

During the filming, Xu Yien was sitting on a chair and editing his Weibo post on his mobile phone.

Zhou Ye, who was sitting in a chair next to him, was playing with his phone. When he heard the news that it had exceeded 10,000 views, he smiled and said, "Congratulations! The popularity of a martial arts drama with a single male lead has exceeded 10,000 views, re-establishing the glory of martial arts!"

"Humility, that's what I mean."

"I saw someone on Bilibili say this is the best martial arts drama in the past ten years. What do you think, Mr. Xu?"

"Hmm...why not?" Xu Yien thought for a moment and said arrogantly, "I definitely think my acting is awesome."

"Haha." Zhou Ye smiled and pointed at him and said, "You have a problem."

Xu Yien was pleased with himself and said, "Then I just have a filter for my own dramas."

Zhou also sent the videos he saw on Bilibili to Xu Yien.

She said: "Look, even Bilibili's audience, which is so picky, gives you such high support. It's really amazing."

Xu Yien: "Okay, let me take a look."

The video is called: "【Lotus Tower】Peerless Martial Arts Girl | Li Lianhua's Martial Arts Aesthetics Explodes into a Mix of Fighting Scenes | Xu Yien"

The video I posted yesterday has exceeded 500,000 views today. The video is not long, only about a minute and a half.

The timing is very comfortable and the fighting scenes are well edited, which really fits this song.

This video attracted new viewers as Lotus Tower continued to be popular and gained word-of-mouth after its conclusion.

It should be able to reach a million views, and many of them will be watched twice or three times, after all, the editing is very good.

"This video is really well edited." Xu Yien exclaimed.

Zhou Ye smiled and said, "I just saw this on the homepage. The cut is really good."

"It's mainly because I acted well."

"Eh, are you becoming more and more narcissistic? Although you are telling the truth, you still need to be humble, Teacher Xu."

"I understand, I understand~"

There was also quite a lot of real-time discussion in the comment section of this video clip.

Most of them are praises.

Everyone will recognize a good drama.

Unless you are paid or simply don't like Xu Yien as an actor, after all, actors are not RMB and it is impossible for everyone to like them.

If you are really angry because of the haters, then you are being too superficial.

"This is the male lead who has become popular three times in two years? He's so handsome."

"Honestly, I wasn't attracted to Xu Yien's two hit dramas last year, but Li Lianhua really drew me in right away. I believe every character an actor plays has their own unique characteristics.

After reading some of the materials, I really feel that Xu Yien is an actor with great potential, and he can choose a wider range of roles. "

"Seeing some haters comparing Xu Yien to former martial arts superstars is so unfair. Why not compare Xu Yien to today's young idols who are afraid of pain and heat?"

"The above person is not arguing: Xu Yien is a top star, but he is a top star with professionalism and acting skills~"

"I remember Ian said in an interview that sometimes fighting isn't just for the sake of fighting, but to perform within the fighting scene. Fighting is an expression of one's state of mind.

It’s like dancing with swords in the bamboo forest in my youth and dancing with swords in front of the campfire later on. There’s a difference between the youthful vigor and ambition and the later relief of having sailed through thousands of sails.”

"The fight scene at the Lotus Tower will definitely be a martial arts classic and a reference for future martial arts films. Xu Yien's fighting skills are truly amazing!"

"How did he manage to be so good at acting at such a young age?"

"I suddenly realized that Li Lianhua's fighting scenes were emotionally acted. He killed most people with one move, like a routine without any emotion.

Later in the fight, he used a series of kicks and uppercuts, each punch hitting the flesh with full power. Although he said nothing, his anger could be seen. It was different from those fighting scenes that only cared about looking good.

"You can also go to the official Douyin of the TV series Lotus Tower, Xu Yien's Weibo studio, and the official Lotus Tower Weibo to watch some behind-the-scenes footage. The red silk sword dance and the moonlit bonfire sword dance are both at a level that can be directly produced. There are green screen versions (or two for comparison)
Oh yes, there are also behind-the-scenes footage for Sword Dance in the Bamboo Forest. They save time and money in post-production. Also, some of the famous scenes and lines in the TV series were suggestions or improvisations from Xu Yien himself.”

Read the comments.

Xu Yien felt great again.

Yes, that’s how I promote myself and the show.

I like the way you tell the truth.

That's right!
