Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, starting with the strategy of 95 flowers to counterattack

Chapter 218 Peach Blossom Village Bonfire Party and Singer Gu Yang
As dusk settled and a gentle sea breeze blew, a bonfire, taller than a person, was lit on the beach of Peach Blossom Village.

The outdoor stage, meticulously arranged by the production team, was surrounded by warm yellow string lights, and several long wooden tables were filled with barbecue and drinks.

The sounds of waves and laughter mingled, setting the stage for this carnival.

Su Mang gracefully walked onto the stage, arm in arm with Ou Ou, her champagne-colored dress shimmering in the firelight.

"Good evening everyone!" Ou Ou's clear and articulate English opening drew rounds of applause. "Tonight, let's ignite this sleepless night with art!"

The two's seamless bilingual (Chinese and English) announcements instantly created the atmosphere of an international film festival's red carpet.

The first program was "The Breakup Frontline Alliance" presented by the 650 Radio Team.

Wang Sulong, sporting an exaggerated afro, was the first to rush onto the stage, while Guo Qilin's floral shirt stood out conspicuously in the night.

When Yoko Rame appeared on stage with her traditional folk dance moves, the audience burst into laughter.

This hastily assembled "dream team" contributed the first memorable moment of the evening.

The three of them danced wildly, completely out of sync. When Wang Sulong forgot his lyrics, he improvised, "Heartbreak is like spicy hot pot, the spicier it is, the more you want to eat it," which made Song Dandan laugh so hard that she slapped Shu Qi's thigh.

"Next up, please welcome Star River Girls 604!"

As Su Mang's announcement was still lingering in the air, Meng Ziyi rushed onto the stage, lifting her skirt, and almost tripped over the microphone cord.

When the intro started, the four girls' positions were already in complete disarray.

Meng Ziyi's opening solo, "Singing with Laughter," started two keys high, and the ending note trembled like a small boat in a storm.

Amidst the audience, Wang Sulong, wearing a mask of anguish and filled with confusion, whispered to Guo Qilin, "This tune is way off track than my life plan!"

"What's going on? Isn't she a professional singer?"

"Just kidding..."

Guo Qilin said he saw through everything.

Although Meng Ziyi is a relatively unknown actress, she has been in the entertainment industry for several years and is quite experienced.

Despite being a professional singer, she's really going all out for ratings and buzz, deliberately singing like this to grab attention.

He should really learn from this...

When Zhou Ye took over the singing, he was so nervous that he moved his hands and feet in unison, and his voice cracked during the chorus, startling a flock of seabirds on the beach.

"You are electricity, you are light, you are the only myth..."

Wang Sulong and Guo Qilin exchanged a glance and nodded to each other.

really……

Even Zhou Ye, a singer on the Spring Festival Gala, deliberately sang off-key!
They're really going all out...

Galaxy Girls 604 delivered a fantastic performance.

Zhang Yifan's professional girl group dance, Yang Chaoyue's calisthenics-style gestures, Meng Ziyi's self-created Yangko steps, and Zhou Ye's attempt at ballet turns—these four styles perfectly exemplify the essence of "each dancing their own way."

But the audience was exceptionally supportive. Gu Yang led the chant of "Encore!" and Song Dan clapped until her palms were red: "The kids are so serious!"

This encouragement boosted Meng Ziyi's confidence, and she pulled Zhou Ye to sing another half song until the production team frantically gestured "shut up" from below the stage.

She still felt a little unsatisfied...

As the campfire dimmed, Gu Yang walked onto the stage alone, guitar in hand.

The black turtleneck sweater accentuates her elegant shoulder line, while the sleeves are casually rolled up to reveal her well-defined forearms.

Chen Duling and Chen Yao, dressed in plain white dresses, stood on either side, like fairies under the moonlight.

During the day, Gu Yang was tormented by the two girls all day long.

"How about a poetry recitation?"

"That's so old-fashioned." Chen Yao shook his head vigorously.

"That sitcom?"

"I can't remember my lines," Chen Duling retorted softly, biting her lip.

Gu Yang proposed seven or eight solutions, all of which were rejected.

Looking at the darkening sky outside the window, he finally sighed resignedly, "Fine, I'll do it."

Standing on the stage, Gu Yang gently stroked the strings, feeling the new singing techniques bestowed upon him by the system flowing through his body.

This is his confidence!
The latest side quest has been completed: "The Dancer's Popularity Plan".

[Target: Cheng Xiao]

[Task Objective: Help her create a dance that will go viral and generate widespread discussion online]

[Task Duration: Six Months]

[Reward: S-level singing skills]

With the conclusion of the final night of "Idol Producer", his collaboration with Cheng Xiao, "Xi", surpassed Kun Ge, who debuted in the center position, and successfully topped the trending search list.

And with the vigorous promotion and imitation by the internet celebrities in his company, it successfully went viral.

The dance "囍" inherently carries the controversial topic of "ghost marriage," and coupled with its influence, it easily generates heated discussions across the internet.

Cheng Xiao was just sending him a message thanking him and inviting him for drinks!

It seems something happened at Meng Meiqi's family, and she's in a bad mood...

Gu Yang naturally didn't go, since he had to attend the bonfire party in Peach Blossom Village and couldn't get away...

"This song, 'The Lone Warrior,' is dedicated to all those who walk in the darkness."

His voice, deep and magnetic, carried across the beach through the microphone.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Chen Duling's eyes widen in surprise.

She had never heard Gu Yang speak with such a voice during rehearsals during the day.

How can she be so sexy...

When the first chord sounded, Gu Yang closed his eyes, letting the instincts granted by the system guide him into the zone.

When she spoke again, her voice possessed an unprecedented penetrating power. "They are all brave..."

The moment those three simple words were uttered, the noise on the beach came to an abrupt halt.

Wang Sulong, who was playing on his phone, suddenly looked up, and Guo Qilin, who was secretly eating barbecue skewers, froze in his tracks.

Even the well-informed Song Dan sat up straight, his face full of surprise.

Gu Yang was immersed in this wonderful feeling, and every note change and every breath was just right.

The skill rewarded by the system blended perfectly with his original musicality, creating an effect greater than the sum of its parts.

He wasn't bad at singing to begin with, but compared to professional singers, there was still a gap.

Of course, Meng Ziyi doesn't count.

Now, the system has filled the gaps in his singing skills.

In the chorus, he spontaneously raised the key:

"Loving you, I walk alone through dark alleys."

"I love the way you refuse to kneel."

"Loving you has faced despair."

"Refusing to even shed a tear"

The high notes were clear and bright, echoing for a long time under the night sky.

Chen Yao's skirt spun and blossomed with the song, and Chen Duling's gesture of reaching out to touch the starry sky perfectly matched the mood of the lyrics.

Zhou Ye, sitting in the audience, pinched Meng Ziyi hard: "Is this really Gu Yang? Or is he a substitute singer hired by the production team?"

Did he always let her win when he performed at the Spring Festival Gala?
Xiao Yangzi is so nice!
The camera captured Yang Chaoyue's mouth forming an "O" shape, and this expression was later turned into a "shocked.jpg" that went viral across the internet.

When the performance ended, there was a few seconds of silence on the beach, followed by thunderous applause.

The production team was overjoyed; the show was a sure thing!

……

Time flies, and on May 21, the first season of Peach Blossom Village, which lasted for 21 days, finally came to an end.

Gu Yang treated all the guests and the program crew to a farewell dinner before rushing off to Hangzhou with Yang Chaoyue and Zhang Yifan to record "Produce Camp 101".

Next, Zhou Ye will reunite with Tian Xiwei, and the two will participate in the recording of some popular variety shows such as "Chinese Restaurant", "Happy Camp" and "Running Man" to promote their new movie "The Vanished She".

Gu Yang originally planned to release the movie "The Vanished She" during the May Day holiday.

However, due to the long holiday during the Spring Festival, the filming schedule was delayed, and the filming date had to be changed to July 1st, during the summer vacation.

With the film's official release date set, the promotional campaign must begin.

After completing the recording of "Produce 101", Gu Yang will also personally participate in the recording of popular variety shows such as "Ace vs Ace" and "Back to Field" to promote the film.

At the same time, Xinghe Media and the Kiwi platform reached a strategic cooperation agreement to jointly invest 1.2 million yuan to produce the costume drama "Ninefold Purple".

The drama stars Meng Ziyi, a rising star from Xinghe Film Studio, and has already begun filming at Hengdian World Studios.

This is the result of Gu Yang's recent close communication with Gong Yu, the vice president of the kiwifruit platform, demonstrating Xinghe Media's diversified layout in platform cooperation.

He doesn't want to be tied to a single platform.

Of course, Gu Yang did not participate in this play, but Gong Yu's willingness to invest in it shows great sincerity.

Gu Yang did not disappoint him.

This collaboration also includes a priority purchase agreement for three subsequent dramas, giving the Kiwi platform peace of mind.

In an interview, Gong Yu stated, "The collaboration with Xinghe Media is based on our shared pursuit of high-quality content. 'Ninefold Purple' blends elements of political intrigue, romance, and revenge, and is expected to become the next phenomenal historical drama."

Currently, the drama has launched an official Weibo account, and the released promotional photos have been forwarded more than 50 times, with market expectations continuing to rise.

……

Conference room at a film and television base in Chongqing

Gu Yang had just dropped Zhang Yifan and Yang Chaoyue off at the Produce Camp when Li Qingrong called him over.

He could only apologize to the production team and promise to go back and work overtime to re-record the episode.

The two dramas, "Hidden" and "Hard to Coax," have officially started filming, but Li Qingrong has contacted him many times because of the kissing scene issue!
She pushed up her glasses and slammed two stacks of scripts heavily on the table: "President Gu, we've only filmed half of these two dramas, and the issue of the kissing scenes must be resolved."

At this moment, the meeting room was filled with people from Xinghe Media.

Besides Gu Yang and director Li Qingrong, there are only two actresses, Zhang Ruonan and Zhao Lusi, who are the female leads of the two dramas.

Gu Yang frowned as he flipped through the script, noting the intimate scenes.

Zhao Lusi, who plays Sang Zhi, has many kissing scenes, but this has nothing to do with him, so he just tossed it aside.

However, Wen Yifan, played by Zhang Ruonan, has even more kissing scenes!
The thought of his woman being kissed by another man made his temples throb.

This... is somewhat unsettling!

"Director Li, these days, even sweet romance dramas can become popular without kissing scenes..."

"But what the audience wants to see is chemistry!" Li Qingrong was extremely anxious. "Look at the online polls, 87% of the audience is looking forward to a kissing scene!"

Gu Yang was in a dilemma!

At this moment, Zhao Lusi suddenly spoke up, her ponytail swaying slightly with her movements: "I have a suggestion, how about using a kissing substitute?"

? ? ? ? ?

Gu Yang was speechless. Wasn't this like taking off your pants to fart, completely unnecessary?
What a difference!
But Zhao Lusi was clearly prepared.

Her eyes sparkled as she stared at Gu Yang. "For example... Mr. Gu himself will be the kissing double?"

The meeting room fell silent instantly.

"This……"
