Chapter 77 077 About Lin Yuan's TV series, etc.
Chapter Seventy-Seven
"I just found out they were on Fashion Magazine. The conversion rate of resources from The Powerful Minister is really high."
"Fashion Magazine??? A top-tier magazine??? It's great to have a hit drama. The results speak for themselves. Speaking of which, Lin Yuan has collected half of the four major magazines, right?"
"I have to say, the pairing of Lin Yuan and He Xun is quite appealing, and this issue of 'Fashion' is full of youthful energy."
Lin Yuan is very good at taking still photos. In the eyes of his fans, he can handle any style, especially the kind of photos that tell a story. Lin Yuan has never failed to do it.
"Judging from the current situation, this issue of 'Fashion' will be a bestseller."
"This issue of 'Fashion' magazine has a more masculine theme, so Tnz and GVM didn't have many items to promote. GVM promoted wristbands, and Tnz promoted brooches. Guess what happened? The official website! Lin Yuan's style item is sold out! I'm speechless. Can't our fellow fans be a little less powerful?"
Sang Zi quietly logged onto the GVM website. To be honest, before Lin Yuan filmed this issue of "Fashion," she didn't even know that GVM sold these things.
As it turns out... my fellow supporters are indeed very capable.
Tnz's brooch is the same; it's pinned somewhere on his shirt, very inconspicuous, and you might not even notice it if you don't look closely. However, even though it was just a behind-the-scenes photo published by "Fashion" magazine, some fans still picked up a magnifying glass to examine it closely.
Lin Yuan is a good match for both brands.
The wristbands were reasonably priced, but the brooches... were beyond Sangzi's means.
Their combined strength is beyond imagination.
To some extent, it was the best decision for both brands to bet on Lin Yuan in advance—before GVM signed Lin Yuan, he had not yet won the Golden Wing Award and his appearance on the cover relied on the brand's promotion.
Now, with the Golden Wing Award for Best Supporting Actor and the immense popularity of "The Powerful Minister," Lin Yuan's exposure has skyrocketed to the top of the male actor rankings. Although Lin Yuan has signed many new business deals, many brands haven't had time to place advertisements yet. However, for GVM and Tnz, large posters of Lin Yuan are already in the shop windows.
The name Lin Yuan alone can generate a huge boost in brand popularity, not to mention the number of fans Lin Yuan gained overnight.
These are all potential customers for the brand.
If you were to ask GVM what they were most grateful for, it would be that they decisively kicked out Xie Yu and chose to cooperate with Lin Yuan. In fact, the significance of cooperating with Lin Yuan is not as great as canceling the cooperation with Xie Yu—"A Tear" and "The Immortal" flopped too badly.
As predicted, this issue of "Fashion" sold out quickly. However, fans believe that given Lin Yuan's current popularity, it would be abnormal if "Fashion" didn't sell out.
After "The Powerful Minister", Lin Yuan and He Xun both gained a lot of new fans, but so far, the two haven't even given their fans enough opportunities to spend money.
After accepting some collaborations, He Xun joined a film crew to film.
Lin Yuan is similar.
Lin Yuan is currently filming an urban drama called "Major Cases," which his fans are aware of. They originally thought Lin Yuan would carefully plan and choose a high-quality male lead role, but unexpectedly, the schedule revealed by his studio shows that Lin Yuan's next project is... a musical?
It seems he's not the main character yet, just a supporting character.
"??? Shouldn't we strike while the iron is hot and take on a hit idol drama?"
"I don't believe there aren't any good scripts for Lin Yuan, so why is he going back to performing in musicals? Now is the time to consolidate his popularity. Even if Lin Yuan makes a foolish mistake, his studio should stop him."
"Does he really think he's already a top-tier star and his position is secure? The popularity he gained from 'The Powerful Minister' is not safe at all. I suggest Lin Yuan continue acting, and it would be best if he didn't even sing anymore. In this day and age, there are no multi-talented stars. Acting is the hottest profession."
However, Lin Yuan's upcoming schedule does include the musical "Jin Ge".
"They've gone mad."
"If this continues, he'll only fade into obscurity. What's going on with Lin Yuan? Let alone a young actor who only had one hit drama, what about the leading ladies who dominated the screen a few years ago? Does anyone still not see how they're doing now?"
"@LinYuanStudio @LinYuanStudio, please give us an explanation. Stop holding LinYuan back, okay? You can become an artist now, after you've achieved success."
...
After finishing the photoshoot for "Fashion" magazine, Lin Yuan continued filming "Major Cases," which had progressed to its final case, the most dangerous story in the entire script.
Lin Yuan naturally noticed the comments under the studio's official Weibo post.
Lin Yuan did not intend to become an artist, nor did he think that performing in musicals was a sign of being an artist. In the entertainment industry, "artist" is not a positive term; it generally refers to a popular star who pursues a niche industry out of idealism but has no idea of their own abilities.
Lin Yuan felt that his thoughts differed from those of his fans.
He didn't have any urgent desire to become a top star or reach the peak of popularity, nor did he think about how long the popularity of "The Powerful Minister" would last. He simply wanted to make some good works.
Whether it's winning the Golden Wing Award or the popularity of "The Powerful Minister," these are all byproducts of a good work.
The idea of consolidating popularity is itself quite mysterious. A hit drama requires the right timing, location, and people. At different stages, the same cast and the same work may not necessarily achieve the same success.
"A Tear" was a well-known flop, while the previous work by the same cast was a huge hit.
It's inherently difficult to explain things like a bomb smothering.
A work that everyone thinks will be a hit may turn out to be the opposite.
This isn't Lin Yuan's first time acting. If possible, he wants to make some works that satisfy him and not let down any of his choices.
He took on the musical for two reasons: first, he could sing and the role suited him; second, his career so far began with "Tomorrow's Tomorrow," and Lin Yuan didn't want to forget that.
He has always been a greedy person.
He wants to try more things.
The time he won the Golden Wing Award for "Thousand Mountains", the recent hit "The Powerful Minister", and "Tomorrow's Tomorrow" have all brought him renewed attention. Although they haven't had a significant impact on the industry's development, Lin Yuan heard from director Zou He that many viewers have started paying attention to musicals because of his name.
"I am truly honored."
“There have been quite a few actors who have filmed musicals in the past two years,” Zou He told Lin Yuan. “Some of them are genuinely passionate and have real talent, while others… probably heard your story and also want to gain Director Qin Panyun’s appreciation.”
But in any case, Lin Yuan is the only one who has acted in musicals and starred in a hit TV series so far.
“It’s nothing short of a miracle,” Zou He exclaimed. “I never expected you would still be willing to continue performing in musicals.”
"Tomorrow's Tomorrow" did make money, but the revenue of the entire musical theater market was still only so-so. Generally speaking, few people who can switch from the musical theater industry to the film and television industry are willing to go back to singing musicals.
Zou He was surprised that Lin Yuan was still willing to join.
Back when "Tomorrow's Tomorrow" was being produced, Zou He felt that Lin Yuan would have his day—although at that time, when Lin Yuan was mentioned, public opinion said that he had fallen into depravity and that he had no way out.
As it turned out, Lin Yuan had an incredibly wide escape route.
Zou He never imagined that Lin Yuan would reach such a high position in just two years since "Tomorrow's Tomorrow" was released.
In some ways, this is similar to the trajectory of "Tomorrow's Tomorrow," which initially attracted no attention but later became a bestseller with packed theaters.
Perhaps... as long as Lin Yuan never gave up on any opportunity, this day was destined to come.
...
In the final case of "Major Cases," the four-person team faces a crisis, and Lin Yuan has several action scenes in this case.
Because the murderer was dark and cunning, he would stop at nothing to achieve his goal. He hid behind the scenes, using others as pawns, inciting them, and arousing the evil in human nature. If he hadn't accidentally revealed his true colors, no one would have noticed.
To be honest, when Lin Yuan first saw this part of the script, he didn't even guess who the murderer was.
Because the murderer was kind, had a good reputation, and had a gentle face, no one would have realized that he was the real killer if the truth hadn't been uncovered.
His appearance and speech were too deceptive.
He never personally carried out the act, yet he enjoyed the thrill of the moment the victim died.
He was the manipulator, and the killer was merely a puppet in his hands. In some ways, the killer was originally just an ordinary thug with a bit of malice in his heart, but as long as he didn't encounter the murderer, that malice would never be triggered.
They happened to meet each other, which led to a series of murders and human tragedies.
This scene includes a segment where Qiu Heng confronts the real culprit.
Because the real culprit was a master of sophistry, he seemed to have an innate ability to bewitch people. When he argued sophistry without any remorse and treated human lives as a game, the police officers in charge of him were also unable to control their crazy emotions due to anger.
At this moment, Qiu Heng appeared.
No matter what the other party said, Qiu Heng did not react at all. When the other party was explaining his own theory, Qiu Heng even snorted and laughed.
Although Lin Yuan's eyes were cold in the footage, his aura was in no way inferior to that of the real culprit.
"We'll talk about your stuff when it comes to the verdict." Qiu Heng looked at the other person and suddenly lowered his voice. "You really want to be famous, don't you? You want everyone to know you, recognize your face, shout your name, and ideally, have someone imitate you so that everyone is afraid of you."
"Unfortunately, none of this will happen."
"You'll die soon, like trash, nobody cares, nobody will take you seriously. Who would want to imitate a fool?"
In this scene, Qiu Heng's voice was terrifying, and to some extent, the images of the murderer and the law enforcement officer seemed to be reversed at that moment.
In the TV series "Major Cases", Qiu Heng is always portrayed as a carefree person who is completely unaffected by criticism. Qiu Heng is only reliable when it comes to solving cases, while in daily life, he is a complete idiot.
Qiu Heng in this scene is too mature, making one wonder if this character also has a dark side deep inside.
Although Qiu Heng was severely criticized the next moment.
Then he went to the captain's office and took away the cigarettes that the other party had secretly hidden, and casually told the captain's wife about it.
The rapid change in image made it difficult for the actors who had worked with Lin Yuan for several months to adapt on the set of "Major Cases".
But this is precisely where Lin Yuan's acting skills are demonstrated.
Qiu Heng showed a side completely different from his usual self, while Lin Yuan switched between them with ease, handling each scene with exceptional skill.
Kong Yupan pursed his lips.
That's incredible.
When he took on the role in "Major Cases," his agency didn't consider it a particularly good resource. However, the show's popularity has recently surged, giving him, a relatively unknown actor, a greater presence in the company's upper management.
It became popular because of the TV series "The Powerful Minister".
If "The Powerful Minister" had aired on a top-tier satellite TV channel like Tianfeng TV, it would only be considered one of Tianfeng TV's many excellent productions.
However, "The Powerful Minister" happens to be broadcast on Xiaguang TV.
The role of the platform has been minimized, while the roles of the script and the actors have become prominent, each accounting for half. As a result, Chi Xin, the screenwriter of "The Powerful Minister," has become a hot commodity in the industry. His next drama with Cheng Yiyuan is highly anticipated. Even though it is still a historical drama with a niche subject, it can still attract big-name actors to participate, and there is no need to worry about raising funds.
In addition, Lin Yuan, who played the lead role, also garnered a lot of attention.
At least Lin Yuan's ability to choose scripts has been recognized.
Naturally, Lin Yuan's next drama, "Major Cases," has also been included in the industry's list of dramas to watch.
"Major Cases" is not the kind of drama that seems destined to be a huge hit, but the fact that the lead actor is named Lin Yuan seems to bring about a miracle.
In terms of subject matter, "The Powerful Minister" is even less popular than "Major Cases".
