Minglong Youth: Shared House with Cheng Yushan and Bian Xiaoxiao

As soon as the words fell, the entire crew burst into cheers.

This place is too remote and the living conditions are extremely poor. These days are extremely difficult for them.

Fortunately, hard work pays off, and this period drama has finally been completed.

"Oh, Zhou Chen, thank you so much for this time. It's just that our conditions are too simple and we are not welcoming you well enough!"

Seeing that Zhou Chen was about to leave with the crew, the village chief Lin Youmin hurriedly brought the villagers to see him off.

During the days Zhou Chen stayed in Hougou Village, he brought a lot of income to their village.

Lin Youmin was sincerely grateful to Zhou Chen.

"That's not true, Village Chief. If you hadn't taken care of us, the filming wouldn't have gone so smoothly."

Zhou Chen shook hands with Lin Youmin warmly and said goodbye.

He knew that the little money given to the villagers was just a drop in the bucket.

It is better to teach people to fish than to teach people.

If this short drama becomes a hit, maybe it can help promote Hougou Village and even bring in some tourism income to the local area.

That night, Zhou Chen brought the entire crew back to Qingbei University.

Although the shots have been completed, the workload of editing is still considerable.

Fortunately, the members of the editing club were quite helpful. As soon as they heard that Zhou Chen was back, they came forward to take on the tasks without Zhou Chen's instructions.

There was no way out. Zhou Chen didn't treat them unfairly. He would give them a lot of money after the editing was completed.

However, the script for this short play is quite long and needs to be carefully crafted, so they are very busy.

While Zhou Chen and the members of the editing club were busy editing, many short drama crews also announced that they had successfully completed filming and began to release their works online.

For a time, short dramas of various themes popped up in large numbers like mushrooms after a rain, and netizens could not keep up.

Soon, the 24-hour recharge quota of each short drama was also exposed.

Yi Yangmou's short play "The Little Countryside Doctor" topped the list, and the recharge amount soared to 50 million! It was much higher than Zhou Chen's previous work "The Crooked Dragon King".

Qin Yumo's short drama "The Best Bodyguard" also ranked second with a recharge amount of 30 million because of Qin Yumo's participation.

As for other short plays, they were also brilliant, with the lowest one reaching 10 million.

With the emergence of these short drama data, it has also caused quite a stir online.

"As expected of Yi Yangmou, he reached 50 million in 24 hours. What kind of concept is this!"

"Haha, I like Qin Yumo, and that bear...there's nothing to say!"

"I prefer to watch the second part. Those who understand will understand."

"To be honest, the skit is really exciting!"

"I take that back, it was so exciting!"

I have to say that the shooting level of these directors is still very high. They just shortened the original 40-minute plot to only 10 to 20 minutes. The picture quality and angle are really impeccable.

As the plot becomes more compressed and the pace quickens, the works they shoot become more exciting.

However, there were also people who just wanted to watch the fun and even tagged Zhou Chen.

"Zhou Chen, where's your new drama? Why isn't it online yet? Are you scared?"

"Many celebrities have left, so Zhou Chen has no fun."

"I've seen it, and it's definitely not on the same level. A serious director is a serious director after all, and his level is high!"

"Compared to that, Zhou Chen's photos are really average..."

Many people like to praise one and criticize the other, and constantly criticize others. Faced with such doubts, Zhou Chen was worried about how to attract attention. Seeing these discussions, he quietly uploaded the work he had just edited to major short drama platforms.

Then, he simply posted a short video trailer on his TikTok account.

"New drama - Traveling back to the 80s to become a stepmother, now online!"

Chapter 206 This drama is very rustic but also very enjoyable

"A post-80s girl becomes a stepmother? What kind of thing is this?"

"It looks like a time travel through the countryside and the past?"

"Wow, there's Ji Linlin too. I have to go check it out!"

As Zhou Chen announced the launch of "Stepmother", it immediately attracted a lot of attention.

The network environment at this time is completely different from that of the Crooked-Mouth Dragon King.

The Crooked-Mouth Dragon King was the first short play, and although it attracted a lot of criticism, it was the first short play after all, and many people were still very curious about it.

Things are different now. Famous directors and star screenwriters have all entered the industry, and their films are all pretty good. In comparison, Zhou Chen's "Stepmother" is inevitably a bit stressful.

Fortunately, the short play was still in a blue ocean at that time, and Zhou Chen was the founder, so many people still watched this short play with great expectations.

Director Yi Yangmou has not left Hengdian yet. Because the short drama he shot was a big hit, various capitalists have come to him in recent days and want him to continue filming.

I guess he will be busy for a while.

However, upon learning that Zhou Chen had a new short drama online, Yi Yangmou, despite his busy schedule, couldn't help but curiously open it to watch.

"Traveled back to the 1980s to be a stepmother?"

Looking at the title, Yi Yangmou frowned.

Nowadays, popular film and television dramas are basically modern urban ones. After all, young talents are the mainstream of the market, and it has been a long time since there has been a popular rural drama.

He didn't expect that Zhou Chen, at such a young age, would dare to shoot such a niche short drama.

But judging from the title, with both time travel and stepmother, it seems... a novel angle?

Thinking of this, Yi Yangmou also watched it carefully.

Because he had seen all of Zhou Chen's short plays, and he had to admit that although the filming techniques were rather naive and crude, they gave him a lot of new inspiration.

He also wanted to see how Zhou Chen filmed the rural skit.

As a result, after watching the first episode, Yi Yangmou couldn't sit still.

The protagonist of this short drama is actually a heroine, and all the story lines revolve around a woman. This is not surprising. The most important thing is that using the perspective of the heroine as a stepmother and the time-travel perspective can make the story more exciting.

As this is also a drama about the entrepreneurial period, it has to be said that using this shooting technique not only makes the characters full and three-dimensional, the story has a brisk pace, but also incorporates various elements of the period just right.

Absolutely amazing!

"This Zhou Chen is not simple. He expressed in his own way what I have always wanted to express but didn't know how to express."

Yi Yangmou was so engrossed in watching the show that he watched it until late at night without realizing it. His opinion of Zhou Chen became even higher.

However, at this time on the Internet, many screenwriters, actors, and some big Vs began to criticize Zhou Chen without even watching the video.

"Who among the young people still watches rural dramas nowadays? It seems that Zhou Chen has run out of ideas."

"With the professionals coming in, Zhou Chen has no chance to play!"

"Haha, has Zhou Chen already relied on Ji Linlin to attract attention? The facts will tell you that in the face of powerful strength, these means are completely useless."

"I'm curious about this stepmother, how much recharge can be achieved in 24 hours."

Zhou Chen’s previous short dramas were a huge hit, which made people in the traditional film and television circles very unhappy. Now that the bigwigs are leaving one after another, they naturally want to see Zhou Chen’s embarrassing end.

Many people are waiting to see how unpopular this rural drama will be when the data comes out within 24 hours tomorrow.

Even Qin Yumo did not forget to stand up and make a few sarcastic remarks.

"Some things are never acceptable. In this day and age, people are still filming trivial things from the past, and they are using a woman's perspective. I feel this is disrespectful to women!"

Well, she is used to criticizing with feminism, so basically everything can be linked to feminism.

Qin Yumo is now famous for a short drama and has gained a lot of fans. She has not even left Hengdian because her agent has arranged for her to star in several short dramas.

If things continue like this, Qin Yumo will be very busy this year and won't have to worry about exposure at all.

With the outside world paying so much attention to the data of "Stepmother", the person in charge of iKuxun naturally doesn't want to miss out on this popularity.

Therefore, every three hours, he would release the data through the official account.

"Traveling back to the 1980s as a stepmother, the top-up amount reached 5 million in six hours!"

After six hours, the backend data was released.

This data would have been quite good in the past, but with the example of several short dramas directed by Yi Yangmou, a recharge of 5 million in six hours seems a bit insignificant.

This has only encouraged the arrogance of many people.

However, when many big Vs were partying, many girls began to plant grass in various groups.

“I highly recommend Stepmother, it’s so enjoyable to watch!”

"Sisters, this is a great show for girls. This stepmother is so cool to watch. It's the first time I've watched a drama with a strong female lead in so many years. It turns out that starting a business can be so cool for us girls!"

"Sisters, whoever doesn't watch this will regret it. This is the first time I've discovered that short dramas are better than Korean dramas!"

You know, in the film and television industry, women have always been the largest market.

Because most of the people who like to chase TV series are women.

However, due to the weakness of domestic dramas, many girls prefer to watch foreign dramas, or turn to other short videos.

The reason why many girls today watch "Stepmother" is entirely because of their idol Zhou Chen.

But no one expected that this "Stepmother" would be better than all the previous dramas Zhou Chen filmed!

Absolutely!

"Really? I have to see it!"

"Forget it. The first few episodes are free anyway. I'll take a look and see if it's my taste."

"Oh my god, this drama is really good. It seems that only girls can understand girls. Ji Linlin really understands us!"

"It's unbelievable that Zhou Chen, a grown man, could write such a feminine drama. I love it. Highly recommend!"

Girls are sharing animals. Whenever there is something interesting, they will happily chat about it in several groups.

Now, this drama "Stepmother", because of its element of stand-in, is very topical and has quickly become a hot topic among major girls' circles.

Therefore, under the attention of all sectors of society, the backstage recharge volume of "Stepmother" directed by Zhou Chen is also skyrocketing at an increasingly rapid rate.

When the ninth hour data was exposed, the entire network was shocked.

The recharge volume of "Traveling Back to the 1980s as a Stepmother" has reached 10 million in nine hours!

In just three hours, the price skyrocketed by five million!

Chapter 207 Recharge breaks the record, what's wrong with this crappy movie

"Wow, it's already reached 10 million in just nine hours. This drama is really gaining momentum!"

"In 24 hours, the estimate is at least 20 million!"

"It seems that many people still like the short plays shot by Zhou Chen!"

With the release of the latest data, many netizens have calmed down.

It was thought that after a group of big names joined in, Zhou Chen's niche short drama would suffer a Waterloo. Some people even predicted that this short drama would only earn 10 million at most. But who would have thought that it would break this record after only nine hours!

If we get 24 hours of data, God knows what level it will reach!

And those screenwriters and actors who had originally blamed Zhou Chen were now a little afraid to talk nonsense.

After all, although many short dramas have been launched in the past week, the more popular ones are only those directed by Yi Yangmou and Qin Yumo. Together with the one directed by Wang Qiang, only these three dramas can support the company.

Other short plays cannot be compared with Zhou Chen's plays at all.

However, at this time, in many girls' circles, there are still a large number of people recommending this drama to their friends.

The script of "Stepmother" was designed to cater to women's preferences. For example, the "palace fighting" factor, the "mistress" factor, the substitute factor, etc., are all classic plots that girls always like.

Now, when these elements are combined together and dressed in the coat of time, it is naturally very attractive.

Under the gaze of countless people, twelve hours later, the recharge amount of "Stepmother" had reached 30 million!

Yes, it stands to reason that when a new skit comes out, the growth in the first few hours is terrifying, and then it grows slower and slower as time goes on.
