Huayu's rise from top star to best actor

Chapter 245: Broadcasting a Drama is Metaphysics

After work today, Director Yi took everyone to have a hotpot meal.

Eat comfortably.

Everyone went back to their rooms.

After taking a shower, Xu Yien sat on the bed and soaked his feet. He had to soak his feet in winter, otherwise his feet would be cold when he slept.

At the same time, he was also making a video call with Li Yitong.

She ate the crispy shark and said, "Did you miss me?"

Xu Yien nodded: "Yeah."

Li Yitong smacked his lips and complained, "What an emotionless answer."

Xu Yien took a sip of water and said, "Then how should I answer?"

"If you want to be a little corny, I'll fall for your corny ways~"

"Hey, I can't do it without you in front of me."

Li Yitong smiled sideways and said, "(ˉ▽￣～) Tsk~~ excuse."

"Why do you say that to me..."

"Look, isn't this aggrieved look coming out? How cute."

"Hahaha, you really mean it, doing these things~"

After chatting for a while, they started discussing things about "Ashes of Love". The two of them had some ideas about the drama's promotion, and they coincided with each other. In fact, it was just to hype up a CP to increase the attention of the drama.

It’s okay for real couples to hype up each other.

Many actors don’t like having their co-stars suck their blood, but Xu Yien can accept Tongtong sucking his own blood.

For example, Yang Zi no longer hypes up her CP when filming. Her status is high enough, and even if she doesn't hype up her CP, there are still a lot of passers-by fans watching the show. Even if she doesn't hype up her CP, the male actors will buy press releases to hype it up.

But there is also a mystery behind the hype of CPs, like Jing Tian and Xu Kai's "Leyouyuan", which was hyped to the extreme but eventually fizzled out silently.

No one cares. To put it bluntly, these two leading actors are so bad that even passers-by wouldn't want to click in to watch the movie.

The average number of views per episode is less than 1000 million, and the popularity on Tencent’s website has not even exceeded 25000...

It's basically Tencent's worst S+ yet, which is really embarrassing.

Even though the filming is good, the plot is good, and the male and female protagonists perform well, there are still not many people watching it.

Broadcasting a drama is a mystery, but it won't mean a downgrade in resources for them.
Jing Tian and Xu Kai are notorious for being slackers, but these two are the kind of jack-of-all-trades who can act well together if they choose a good co-star.
But the two panaceas together are too slippery and boring to watch.

Jing Tian has not had anyone supporting her in recent years, so it's a bit sad that she flopped. Xu Kai's influence is not that big. After all, he is Yu Ma's treasure, and his treatment is at the same level as Bai Mengyan. He will never lack the male lead roles to play.

Xu Kai doesn't have many fans anyway, and other young actors of the same age group don't pay much attention to him because he doesn't pose any threat. He is the type that will be defeated no matter how the photos are taken. If it weren't for Zhang Shuai's face and Yu Zheng's good treatment, he would probably have retired long ago.

Yu Zheng cares a lot about his actors, like Yuan Shanshan and Chen Xiao in the past, and Xu Kai, Bai Mengyan and Wang Xingyue now, all of them are under Yu Zheng's company. As long as you are capable, he will support you if he sees something in you. The main problem with this company is that its marketing is not so good.

For example, Taiyang Chuanhe’s marketing is very good, it is subtle but effective. The little yellow duck and teacher Zhang Songwen are both from this company. There is no conflict between strength and marketing.

Ever since the little yellow duck left the company, its marketing has been ruined and its reputation has declined seriously. A good marketing company can turn the situation around for you even if the artist himself has made mistakes.

Xu Yien is the type of person who has to handle his own marketing. It's not that he's sitting at home doing nothing for business or marketing, but that it's not easy for him to market himself. The priority of his press releases on major social media platforms is definitely not as high as that of big companies. His works speak for themselves.

It doesn't matter if I pick my feet at home. I can make money by shooting commercials, the drama is good, and passers-by have a good impression of it.

For a relatively pure actor like Xu Yien, this is enough. As long as his appearance does not decline, he will not lose too much traffic.

Actually, "Leyouyuan" flopped but it was still okay.

For actors with a certain degree of fame like Jing Tian and Xu Kai, as long as their performances don't flop too badly and their reputations don't collapse too badly, they will still have acting offers. Unless they are like Jin Han, who is not good-looking and can't act well, then they should just play supporting roles.

The time for Li Yitong's guest appearance in the crew has been set, which is to wait until the end of "Cang Lan Jue", which is estimated to be the end of February.

But if the righteousness is coming, then it will have to be postponed.

But when the drama was aired in January, the two of them had to do some live broadcasts for business.

By then Xu Yien will have made up his mind.

"The Legend of the Phoenix" does not hype up real-life CPs, but only character CPs, but "Agarwood Like Crumbs", "Cang Lan Jue" and "Yu Gu Yao" have to be hyped up.

The main reason is that Xu Yien was afraid of being scolded by Rousi: "Fuck you spicy neighbor!"

That's so weird.

The collaboration is over, don’t even think about hyping up their relationship, mainly because Xu Yien doesn’t like her looks.

The facial features are a bit flat and the figure is just average. Although they are both called meat stockings, the Korean one has a better figure and face, and she looks very beautiful in stockings.

……

……

Apart from filming, the crew's life is quite rich.

Sometimes we go to KTV together, sometimes we go to a bar for a drink, or we show off our food.

If the weather wasn't so cold, Xu Yien would have taken Xiaotian and Zhang Jiawei for a bike ride. Cycling is good for both exercise and scenery, which is good for both the body and the mind.

Although Zhang Jiawei works out and has eight-pack abs, he really doesn't like running around. It's too tiring. Today, he's singing.

Xu Yien sang "The Sun Washed in the Spring Rain";
"I am in the clear sunshine after the heavy rain, that is the sun washed by the spring rain~"

"Oh oh oh! How come Wang Leehom came to Hengdian! He sings so well!" Xiaotian ate popcorn and chattered in support, without even hearing him clapping his hands.

Xu Yien couldn't stand hearing this, woc, I learned it! I will tease others like this when singing in the future!

Xu Haiqiao laughed, "Hahahaha, Xiaotian is really good at praising. But Yien's singing is so awesome, I feel like he can really release an album."

"That's it."

The others were also very supportive. After singing this song, Xu Yien saw that the next song on the screen was "Quit Smoking" and couldn't help laughing.

"Zhang Jiawei, this is your song, right?"

"how do you know?"

"Hai Qiao ordered all the old songs, Xiao Tian ordered sweet songs or JJ's, and you were the only one who ordered that."

"Why don't you list the others?" Zhang Linghe said.

"Is it not okay for me to pay attention to you?"

"hey-hey."

Next came Zhang Jiawei’s famous scene from “Buffalo Quit Smoking”. Everyone was laughing happily while listening to him sing, and he didn’t even know what others were laughing at.

It's okay for him to be handsome, and it's okay for him to sing. Xiaotian was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling when he leaned on Xu Yien. It's a confirmed case of "water buffalo". Can you tell what the lyrics are? I can't understand a single word.

After singing happily and saying goodbye to everyone, Xu Yien got in the RV and returned to the hotel to rest.

Sitting in the car, Xu Yien was thinking.

During this period of time, the friendship is coming soon. Anyway, Xu Yien will be stationed in Hengdian next time.

I plan to follow the crowd and buy a suite in Hengdian like other actors, and also buy a car.

This way, traveling in Hengdian will be convenient, and filming will not be affected. However, the control will be stricter, and you will have to accept the baptism of health codes and isolation.

For literary and artistic workers, loyalty and loyalty do not have much influence.

It will only take a few months, and by the end of March the whole country will resume work and production. Just wear a mask.

Everyone needs entertainment at home, otherwise it will be boring if everything is cut off. "Youth With You 2" and "Under the Power" became popular because of the sense of righteousness.

Because everyone has no choice but to stay at home and get bored.

"Ashes of Love" was also very competitive when it was broadcast at that time, and Xu Yien even adjusted the standard of 5000 million per episode upwards in his mind.

6000 million per episode is not impossible.

In the original time and space, it was Zizi dragging ee, and now it is Emem dragging Tongtong. The main reason why the fighting scenes in "Chen Xiang Ru Xie" were criticized is because many parts were shot in freeze frames.

why?

Because the guy hanging on the wire made a mistake and fell from a high altitude, ee's leg was broken. With a broken leg, ee definitely couldn't shoot the fight scene. He didn't even ask for leave. He continued shooting with a plaster cast and crutches. After finishing the shooting, he was in a wheelchair.

While others started marketing so early, EE had no news at all. Apart from its fans, it didn't do any marketing at all.

They are really dedicated. People like Cheng Yi and Zhu Yilong who were really injured didn’t even mention that it was a high-risk profession. I don’t know why those people who have nothing wrong are talking about it as a high-risk profession. Aren’t they shameless?

Uncle Long is not as nosy as he used to be, otherwise he would definitely come out and scold me.

It can be seen from "Lotus Tower" that Hu Zi is still good at filming action scenes. Now Xu Yien's leg was not broken during the filming, so the action scenes are naturally at the level of "Lotus Tower". Fortunately, Xu Yien was not seriously injured during filming, otherwise it would be so uncomfortable to be sick.

"Boss, we have to shoot some commercials in a couple of days, all with New Year themes," said Liu Cheng.

"it is good."

Fu Liting said, "Chen Xiang Ru Xie also has many joint ventures, but we don't need to shoot them. Zhang Rui shot the interstitial commercial for Wang Xiaolu. The main reason is that you are too expensive, boss."

"I understand." Xu Yien nodded.

Nowadays, the commercials inserted into TV series are basically shot by supporting actors. The platform can make money by giving some of the profits to the supporting actors who appear on screen. However, for the very popular leading actors, this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket.

If advertisers are willing to pay more, the protagonists will also be cast.

For example, the commercials in "Agarwood Like Crumbs" are basically performed by Yu Mo, and the commercials in "Ning'an Entry" are basically performed by Zhang Zha. It's the same principle.

Brand sponsors know best which drama can make money. Even though the original time and space of "Ashes of Love" was mocked by fans as a flop, it was still the Yunhe-certified Cool Factory runner-up, Cool Cloud-certified Cool Factory champion, and the officially certified investment champion of all dramas throughout the year.

More than 40 brands are still adding advertisements, totaling more than 50 advertisers.

Combined with the profits from the broadcast time, Cool Factory is dizzy with money.

He is also the annual champion in attracting new members. What else can he do?

For example, there is not even one advertiser for "The Legend of Mi Yue" and there is no advertisement at all for the first part. Although it has something to do with the Japanese pirate style of the clothing, the connection is not that big.

joke?

How can a real flop that makes billions of dollars ascend to the top? Ying Yuan has extremely high popularity on major platforms and is also among the top in major rankings. Although he is not as good as Dongfang Qingcang, it is good enough.
