Actors, singers, idols, MCs, hosts...
On the stage, stars shine under the spotlight. The media chases them, fans support them, they are like idols high above.
But behind the brilliance,...
Chapter 266 I Want It All
In the next few days, Meng Bai deeply experienced what it meant to be "a place of beauties and a place of heroes".
Staying in his own little courtyard, he had his own world and didn't want to go out at all.
He didn't even pay much attention to the launch of "The Lost Tomb".
Of course, it was also because he had enough confidence in the show.
In the end, if Li Qin hadn't said that she was about to join the crew and had to go back to prepare, she would probably have stayed until next month.
"Do you have to join the crew so early?"
Meng Bai hugged her from behind: "Anyway, your role is the second female lead, so it doesn't matter if you go two days later."
"You have to go to the opening ceremony, and my role this time has a lot of scenes, so I have to prepare more."
Li Qin felt the heat in her ears and said in a gentle and firm tone.
She still values "The Legend of Chu Qiao" this time.
In recent years, ancient idol dramas have been the trend, and the heroine is Zhao Liying, a 85 flower in the current first-line, so the performance of this show will definitely not be bad.
Moreover, this role is highly compatible with her image, and she also wants to take this opportunity to see if she can rush up again.
Although she is a bit calm, who wouldn't want to move up a few more steps in this industry?
"By the way, how long will your contract last?" Meng Bai remembered something again.
"Well... a year and a half." Li Qin calculated the time, "About mid-2018."
After saying that, she turned her head and looked at the other party: "Why, Teacher Meng is not satisfied with the person, are you planning to keep the money too?"
"I am a greedy person, I want to get everything I like."
Meng Bai whispered in her ear: "Don't talk about people and money, even Teacher Li's heart, I have to keep it."
Li Qin blushed, but she couldn't help but feel a little happy in her heart.
She didn't expect to stay so long this time, so she didn't bring much when she came. Even the clothes she wanted to change were bought on the spot.
Seeing that the girl was going to put away the clothes, Meng Bai said: "Forget it, just leave it here, so it will be convenient next time."
"Oh, Teacher Meng is not afraid of taking other girls home, and getting angry again after seeing these?"
Li Qin said in a teasing tone, but her eyes were fixed on the other party.
"What nonsense are you talking about? There won't be any other girls here except you." Meng Bai said without hesitation.
Seeing the other person's natural expression, Li Qin smiled with satisfaction.
"Huh, didn't Yi Xin and the others come here two days ago?"
"Hey! Are you arguing with me? Ah, are you arguing with me?"
"Ah, I was wrong, I was wrong... Well~ Stop it, I really have to leave today."
The two came to the door, and the assistant Jia Jia was already waiting outside with the driver.
Because of being delayed by Meng Bai, Li Qin had no time to go home and had to go directly to the crew.
"Then, I'm leaving."
"Be careful on the road."
Li Qin took two steps outside, and then suddenly turned back and hugged Meng Bai.
Meng Bai cooperated and raised his hand to hold the other person's shoulders.
After a while, Li Qin finally calmed down a little. Standing up straight, she smiled and said, "I'm really leaving this time."
After that, she walked a few steps to the car and waved.
Seeing that her sight was blocked by the wall of the yard, Li Qin finally retracted her gaze.
"Sister Qinqin." Jiajia called her from the side.
"What's wrong?"
"I feel like I haven't seen you for a few days, and you seem to be much more beautiful."
"How could that be?"
"Really." Jia Jia looked at her and said, "Not only is she beautiful, but I feel... like there's something more."
Li Qin lowered her eyebrows and smiled, she knew what the assistant meant.
A girl becomes a young woman, and after a few days of nourishment, she naturally has a temperament that she didn't have before.
This time I will be in the crew for about three months, and it will be the end of the year by then.
That guy said before that he wanted to visit the set, and I don't know if he can remember it.
Humph, if he can't remember it, then he's done!
——After
seeing Li Qin off, Meng Bai finally resumed his normal working state.
Back to Arc Light, he first called Liu Zhi over and asked about the premiere of "The Lost Tomb".
"The number of views in the first 24 hours exceeded 200 million, and the number of views in the first week was 560 million. The third and fourth episodes were also broadcast this week, and the current cumulative total is 980 million."
Liu Zhi looked at the information in his hand and said: "The average number of views of Yunhe V7 episodes is 12.2 million, and the influence of Guduo online drama is 9,200. It is currently ranked first in the real-time popularity of the entire network..."
Listening to the data report one by one, Meng Bai nodded.
Although he said before that he was confident in the results, he finally put his mind at ease until he heard the data.
"What about the ratings?" Meng Bai asked: "How is the audience evaluation?"
"Very good!"
When talking about the reputation of the project, Liu Zhi immediately became more excited: "Douban opened the score of 8.4, and most of the online reviews are good. Brother Meng, I took a look, and ours is basically the highest-rated one among all tomb-raiding works."
Hearing the score of "8.4", Meng Bai couldn't help but get excited.
For a remake of a classic IP, this evaluation is quite high.
To be honest, as two major IPs of "tomb-robbing themes", the fans of "Ghost Blowing the Light" are much happier than those of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles".
So far, both IPs have produced three works.
Needless to say, the online drama and movies of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" are worse than each other.
The recently launched "Old Mystic Nine" is of much higher quality.
But on the one hand, it is a prequel after all, and on the other hand, as the number of episodes broadcast increases, it has gradually shown a trend of opening high and closing low.
On the other hand, although "Ghost Blowing the Light" also has "Nine-story Demon Tower" as a drag, fortunately "Looking for the Dragon" has made a comeback.
It is precisely because of the successful case of the movie version first, and the fact that the producer of this online drama is Arclight Film and Television, that the audience and fans have higher expectations for this large-scale production that cost hundreds of millions.
In fact, before the broadcast of "The Lost Tomb", many book fans had some doubts about the casting.
Although Pan Yueming was very popular before, he has been out of fashion in recent years.
When "Detective Chinatown" was released, quite a number of viewers did not recognize that he played the "perverted stepfather" until the whole movie was finished.
Even fewer people know Chen Minghao as a drama actor.
Among the three people, only Ni Ni can be considered a popular actor, but her status is also awkward.
In particular, her previous "Mo Yu" left too deep an impression on the audience, and many people could not imagine what effect it would be for her to play "Shirley Yang".
However, some viewers comforted themselves that if two of the three leading actors were not popular, the pay should be quite low.
With such a large investment, the pay here accounts for a small proportion, so the filming and production should be more sophisticated.
It was with this expectation that many book fans watched the broadcast and watched the first episode of "The Lost Tomb" as soon as possible.
After watching it, the show became a hot search that night.
However, the first focus was not on the two male protagonists, but on the director Li Muge and his landscape shots that were like a "National Geographic Channel documentary".
Thanks to "The World is Big" and other big guys for the rewards!
