Chapter 77: Parents reported her because she had no marketing in the country...
She has never marketed herself in China, nor does she need to market herself. Given the frequency with which she appears in domestic newspapers, further marketing would amount to reverse marketing.
She has a lot of marketing skills in America, otherwise how could she win the award in such a short time.
You know, although America is said to be open, it is actually very xenophobic. Not only is it xenophobic to outsiders, it is also xenophobic to its own people.
In short, it is more in line with America's national policy to make everyone an isolated and helpless individual.
After Yang Yuhuan entered the palace, the originally sunny and cheerful girl could only forget her worries when she was dancing.
Modern people who originally opposed feudal ideas and refused to bow to powerful and evil forces were also beaten to a pulp by imperial power.
When meeting the emperor, she would perform the proper ceremony, strictly abide by every rule, and keep her distance from men outside of her...
Gradually, she seemed to have really become an ancient person, a person who grew up from the ancient present.
There are many funny moments in the first half of the TV series, such as Yang Yuhuan's encounter with Prince Shou Li Mao and Li Longji.
There are many jokes in between due to different ideas.
The humor in the first half also sets off the sadness of the heroine being assimilated into the ancient times in the second half.
The part filmed in the inland ends when the heroine encounters the Nine Stars and travels back through time. The following episodes will be completed in Hong Kong Island.
After returning to Hong Kong Island, Zhang Xinyan immediately found the videotape of "A Step into the Tang Dynasty" broadcast by TVB and started watching it.
The first episode was okay, but starting from the second episode, Zhang Xinyan always felt that there was something strange.
"Does it feel familiar?"
"Yes, but there doesn't seem to be any time-travel dramas like that, right?"
"If you ignore the first episode and only watch the rest, isn't it the Tang Dynasty version of The Deer and the Cauldron?"
Li Daohua’s reminder made Zhang Xinyan suddenly realize. No wonder he always felt familiar with it, so this is the case!
Now he felt relieved. The Yang Yuhuan they filmed could crush "A Step into the Past" in all aspects. "A Step into the Past" could achieve such results, so their drama could only be better, not worse.
With only a few episodes of modern scenes left to be filmed, ATV began broadcasting Yang Yuhuan.
Because it is not the first time-travel drama, the ratings of the first broadcast of Yang Yuhuan are not as good as A Step into the Tang Dynasty.
But this is not important. Li Daohua’s marketing began when Yang Yuhuan aired its fourth episode and the ratings were rising steadily.
TVB suddenly received a large number of reports saying that because of their TV series, the male protagonist traveled through time because of a car accident, and some children learned this method and tried to travel through time.
Not only that, newspapers also reported that several children went out into the streets in groups and rushed towards cars just to cross.
If the car driver had not reacted quickly and made an emergency turn, the child might have really died. The parents of the child with a broken bone are now seeking compensation from TVB.
Some of these are true, and some are false. The one about the child getting in a car accident is true, but the one about the parents reporting it is pure fabrication. It was Zhang Xinyan who obeyed and asked his relatives to report it.
The broken window effect is like this: after seeing someone report it, more and more parents also began to follow suit and report "A Step into the West: Tang Dynasty".
Originally, the ratings of "A Step into the Tang Dynasty" had been slowly declining due to the poor content of the post-production, and this time it was a direct avalanche.
Coupled with the strong competition from similar works such as Yang Yuhuan, "A Step into the Tang Dynasty" started off strong but ended badly, and had to have a hasty ending.
From 60 percent viewership, it dropped all the way to 10 percent.
At the same time, rumors began to circulate in society that "A Step into the Tang Dynasty" was plagiarized from "The Legend of Shangguan Wan'er" by inland writer Daohua, and that only the first half was plagiarized.
Many Hong Kong residents do not believe such rumors.
There are so many excellent writers in Hong Kong, how could they plagiarize the work of a mainland writer? Even if she won the Nebula Award, so what? Maybe it was an internal operation. After all, America has a good relationship with the mainland now.
However, as more and more detailed evidence came to light, many people became increasingly suspicious.
After experiencing two incidents where the hotel arranged by Yindu was infiltrated, Li Daohua learned his lesson.
If no one wants to check Yin, then she will check it herself. The Legend of Shangguan Wan'er is the best way.
The car accident and time travel were to facilitate the reporting later. The heroine's name is Shangguan Wan'er, which is also a trap for the TV series.
Chinese history is not taught in Hong Kong. Instead, they teach British history. As we all know, Britain is also an old colonial country and is very adept at brainwashing.
Many young Hong Kong people have always believed that Tai Ying saved the inland people from opium, because the history books about Tai Ying state that Tai Ying did not intend to invade the inland, but intended to make the Qing government give up using opium to control the people.
In this situation, they had no idea when Shangguan Wan'er was born, and they had no interest in checking. Since Li Daohua used it, they thought it could be used.
Now that it has been exposed, the true ending of the novel has also been exposed, which is embarrassing.
Historically, Wu Zetian and Shangguan Wan'er were forty years apart in age, but in "A Step into the Past", Wu Zetian and Shangguan Wan'er were only a few years apart in age, and they had such a happy ending.
Seeing that the situation was out of control, TVB had no choice but to quickly cut ties with Maoye, claiming that the script was provided by Maoye and had nothing to do with them.
The next step is to shut down the whole process. Plagiarism is actually nothing to them. Maoye has plagiarized before, and the plagiarized TV series had already been broadcast.
The main reason for the closure was the huge mistake in the script. The plagiarism was not completed yet, which was embarrassing.
Li Daohua also found out that it was Maoye who was behind this. This was easy, all she had to do was focus on Maoye and beat him to death.
Li Daohua began to ask Zhang Xinyan about the current strength of Maoye Film and Television, how many film and television dramas it had produced, and who were the artists under it.
"What are you going to do?"
"I wish them a happy new year in advance."
I always feel that Li Daohua has bad intentions, but if you ask any citizen in Hong Kong about this kind of thing, you can get a lot of information.
Maoye has a lot of actors under its name, and the boss is generous with his money, poaching many of them.
But Maoye is not invulnerable.
"I heard that the boss of Maoye has a close relationship with the society. Some actors dare not leave their company because they are threatened by the society."
Awesome, no wonder he dares to do something like plagiarism, it turns out he is well connected in both the black and white worlds.
Li Daohua thought quickly and figured out how to deal with it: by doing what it does best - poaching.
They spend money generously, so she can also be generous and use copyright generously.
Li Daohua secretly arranged for her to meet Li Sheng, the pillar of Maoye.
"As long as you leave Maoye, we can start with The Walking Dead, let America gradually get used to you, and then start the movie with you as the protagonist."
Becoming an international superstar is the dream of every Hong Kong star, and cultivating an international superstar is also the dream of every Hong Kong film and television company.
Since the 1980s, celebrities from Hong Kong have been constantly trying to venture into the United States. Unfortunately, the road to success is not smooth at present. Even many international superstars who we are familiar with later have encountered repeated setbacks in America.
Mr. Li shook his head. It was not that he had not thought about leaving Maoye. He had thought about leaving Maoye when Maoye forced him to go to the United States at an inappropriate time and gave him inappropriate scripts.
When his agent was shot dead, he realized that it was easy to get into Maoye but difficult to get out.
"I know what you're worried about. You can go back to the inland. The inland is different from here. No one can threaten your safety."
When he heard about returning to the inland, Mr. Li smiled bitterly. He knew what the conditions were like in the inland. Their company had an actor who had just come from the inland last year.
He was someone who was used to Hong Kong Island, and it would be even more difficult for him to adapt to the mainland. Apart from not letting him leave, Maoye was quite good to him in other aspects, and he was never short of money for film remuneration.
"I can also write a novel specifically for you, with you as the protagonist. The inland has developed now, and I can take you there to have a look. If you insist, I can send you to live in America."
Ian's company has plenty of properties, so it's no problem for one person to live there.
The conditions proposed by Li Daohua this time moved him. When Li Daohua came to Hong Kong Island for cultural exchange, many people had made up for their lack of knowledge about Li Daohua.
Knowing her achievements, she almost never misses a shot, especially in America, where her strikes are very precise.
America was not a place that Maoye could reach. As for what Li Daohua said about the rapid development of the inland in recent years, he ignored it.
The ratings of "Yang Yuhuan" are rising every day. Whether it is the beautiful Huaqing Hot Spring or the tall and majestic ancient city wall, it is a shock to the citizens of Hong Kong Island. It is amazing that costume dramas can be filmed like this.
For the song and dance at Huaqing Pool, they specially invited professional dancers, who started rehearsing the dance from the beginning of filming, just to be able to capture the dancing scenes.
An Lushan's Huxuan dance also invited special Uyghur dancers to serve as stand-ins.
The proper royal presence was in full force; even during the final filming of the An-Shi Rebellion, when the troops escorted the emperor as he fled, they used a crane to film from top to bottom and front to back.
The endless marching troops and the oppressive feeling when the troops mutinied were something that the Hong Kong citizens, who were used to living frugally, had never seen so many people before.
How much money must have been spent on making this TV series? It's really full of sincerity.
In fact, it doesn't cost much money. The soldiers in the extras are almost all unemployed young people who have nothing to do every day and yet they still cause trouble every day.
When they heard that a Hong Kong film crew was looking for extras, Chang'an officials spread the news directly to every street corner to give these street urchins something to do, not to mention that extras could get paid 50 cents a day.
During the filming of Yang Yuhuan, public security in Chang'an City improved a lot.
When "Yang Yuhuan" was about to finish airing, Xun Tang Ji's troubles were not over yet. The parents who had previously asked them for compensation took them to court, and TVB and Maoye passed the buck to each other, each claiming that it was the other's fault.
Just when Maoye was in a state of panic, Mr. Li took the opportunity to issue a statement, saying that he wanted to terminate his contract with Maoye due to personal health reasons, but in the end he still did not tell the truth.
