Chapter 92 "Yue Yan" broadcast
The next day was February 14th, Valentine’s Day, which was also the time when “Yue Yan” was broadcast.
Qiankun Entertainment’s blockbuster production of the year, directed by gold medal director Wang Xing and screenwriter Jin Chuchu.
This is the first TV series of actor Sheng Han, and his partner is the popular actress Shi Qing.
The supporting cast is equally brilliant, with Ji Qingyao, who has served as the female lead, Qu Jinhuan, who just won the Leap Award for Best Supporting Actress, Xu Hui, who was once a popular young actor, and Yao Shun, who has won the Best Actor award many times, making a guest appearance.
Such top-level configuration is really enviable.
On this day, starting from the early morning, a long-planned public opinion crackdown began.
The entry #Shenghan's love story# was the first to be pushed to the hot search.
Clicking on it, you’ll see marketing accounts extracting clips from his past films where he was criticized for his expressionless face, accompanied by sarcastic captions:
[A look back at those classic moments where actor Sheng expressed his love for me but couldn't express it. Are you ready to immerse yourself in tonight's "Yue Yan"?]
Immediately afterwards, a series of negative terms such as #电影咖下地有壁#, #心疼施晴#, and #月妍魔改# appeared on the hot search list one after another.
[Industry insiders revealed that the script of "Yue Yan" has been altered beyond recognition, so fans of the original novel should beware!]
[I laughed. Qiankun Entertainment, a company that started out making serious dramas, does it even know what a period piece is? I'm afraid it'll end up being a documentary about a meeting in period costumes.]
Shi Qing was also miserable. After two years without filming, she finally returned to acting, only to be paired with such a "CP insulator" partner. The awkward atmosphere at the opening ceremony is still vivid in her mind.
According to those who saw "Happy Saturday" live, the commercialization was practically overflowing the screen. The more this is the case, the more it proves the show is bad, relying solely on real-life couples. Even the best actor is hyping up the couple, which shows how bad the show is.
The Douban group was the hardest hit. A group of accounts claiming to be senior drama critics and screenwriters in the industry wrote several prediction posts before the series was even aired. The core idea was only one: lower expectations and prepare for a flop.
"Sister Xia." The public relations director of Qiankun Entertainment frowned as he looked at the negative public opinion that was rising in real time.
"This wave of attacks was incredibly fierce and comprehensive, clearly premeditated. Our platform's competitors, several film and television companies that compete with us, and even the rivals of several of our lead actors were all targeted this time."
Xia Zhu's expression was stern, but his tone was unusually steady. "Why panic? The more they make a scene, the more afraid they are. Notice everyone, all promotional materials will be released as planned, and the online commentary team will follow suit, but don't confront them head-on. Tonight, let the drama speak for itself."
She watched the film during the review and she has confidence in "Yue Yan".
Xia Zhu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the office and pondered for a moment. She opened her phone and called Shi Qing via video.
The screen lit up, revealing Shi Qing in the study at her home in Anluo City.
Shi Qing was wearing a comfortable milky white home outfit, her long black hair casually tied up with a hairpin, revealing her smooth neck.
She wore no makeup, her skin glowing in the soft light, and she looked serene and relaxed.
"Don't look at anything online; it's affecting your mood," Xia Zhu said. "Get yourself in shape and prepare for tonight's livestream."
"I'm fine, Sister Xia." Shi Qing's clear eyes were as calm as ever. "This kind of scene is not the first time I've seen it."
She really wasn't afraid.
If a drama is successful, doubts will follow. This is a necessary test for a hit drama.
She had doubts about herself at first, but finally realized that strength is the sharpest weapon to crush all rumors.
What's more, in her previous life, she had experienced framing and cyberbullying that was a hundred times more vicious than this. Now, this little bit of trouble could no longer shake her mind.
After hanging up the video, Shi Qing turned around and saw her mother walking in with a plate of cut fruit.
"Qingqing, don't put too much pressure on yourself." Li Manqing placed the fruit plate on the table and stroked Shi Qing's head lovingly. "I believe in your ability."
"Mom, I know." Shi Qing smiled and took her mother's arm, gently resting her head on her abdomen to absorb the warmth.
At the same time, at Sheng Han's house.
Afraid that someone would find out any clues during tonight's live broadcast, Shi Qing returned to Anluo City to celebrate the New Year after recording "Happy Saturday".
People online are still not optimistic about this work, nor about the collaboration between the two of them.
Sheng Han closed the comments on his tablet expressionlessly. The air pressure around him was so low that it seemed like ice could form.
Li Zhe stayed at Sheng Han's house, even breathing lightly, for fear of bringing bad luck upon himself.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, amidst widespread criticism and doubts, "Yue Yan" was officially broadcast on the Triangle Video Platform.
The live broadcast rooms of the leading actors were also opened simultaneously.
Sheng Han and Shi Qing appeared in their respective cameras, with the backgrounds in the south and the north respectively, but perhaps as if they had telepathy, they were both wearing home clothes of the same color.
There was no deliberate sweet talk, just natural chatting and sharing of interesting things that happened during the filming.
When someone in the barrage spreads inconsistent rumors with malicious intent.
Shi Qing smiled faintly and looked calmly at the camera. "Maybe it's because Brother Han and I are both slow to warm up. Also, Director Wang is very demanding. The emotional tension in those first few scenes we worked on together was very high, and it almost exhausted all our energy. In order to stay in character, we really didn't dare to have too much private communication on set."
This explanation was professional and frank, and instantly shut up the haters.
Sheng Han took over the conversation calmly, his deep gaze seemed to penetrate the screen and fall on her.
"Teacher Shi is a very focused actor who can bring you into the situation in an instant. I learned a lot from acting with her. As for the true chemistry between us, you will know after watching the drama."
As soon as he finished speaking, the main episode of the series began.
The opening is a set of magnificent aerial shots.
The bright sword light cut through the sky, under the fluttering flags.
Wei Yan, played by Sheng Han, is dressed in black armor and stands on horseback in front of thousands of troops. He stares coldly at the lonely white robe on the city wall across the city wall.
Shi Qing plays the fallen princess Qi Yue, who is dressed in plain white, with her black hair blown messy by the strong wind.
Her beauty was cold and fragile, her eyes filled with the pain of shattered mountains and rivers and the dead despair, almost overflowing the screen.
With just this one scene, those who questioned her acting skills as she had not acted for two years were instantly silenced.
The next second, Qi Yue leaped up, and the white figure fell down resolutely like a snowflake torn by the wind.
Under the city wall, huge waves finally emerged in Wei Yan's calm eyes.
Shock, sorrow, confusion... countless complex emotions intertwined and collided in his eyes, and finally, a tear ran across his cold cheek.
This highly layered eye play perfectly interprets the character's deep inner world.
The picture quality is comparable to that of a movie, the costumes and props are exquisite and sophisticated, and every detail shows that the crew is well-funded.
