Ji Li received a temporary promotional task from the drama company, requiring him to broadcast live on the Internet simultaneously with the sixth episode in the evening and watch the drama and interact with online netizens.
After all, it was a TV drama he starred in, and although the publicity notice came rather hastily, Ji Li still accepted it.
"The Young Masters" is broadcast on satellite TV. The complete updated episodes will appear on the video website only after the live broadcast is completed every night.
However, because of the actors' live broadcast, the website specially put the latest episode online in advance.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Ji Li entered the live broadcast website on time, and the fans and drama fans who had been waiting for a long time immediately welcomed him with the greatest enthusiasm.
"Good evening everyone, I'm Ji Li."
Ji Li did not wear any special makeup and appeared completely bare-faced. A plush pajamas highlighted his fair skin and he spoke very gently.
Many fans were wearing headphones and were completely overwhelmed on the spot.
——Ahhhh brother, you look so good!
——Thank you handsome Ji Li for understanding what we want! Any random screenshot can be used to pretend to be your live-in boyfriend! I'm going to faint from happiness!
——Why do you need a boyfriend? Isn’t it good to be a mother and raise a child? Jili baby, come here and let mommy kiss you.
Ji Li felt a little embarrassed when his fans teased him, but fortunately the TV series was broadcast on time and the TV series footage was simultaneously opened online.
He took a sip of hot milk and quickly changed the subject, "The live broadcast has begun, everyone please concentrate on watching the show."
There was a chorus of responses in the barrage.
At the beginning of the sixth episode, the protagonist group caught the key clue to the local murder case, but on the way the heroine and the hero had an argument. He acted like a spoiled brat and left the team in a fit of anger, intending to look for clues alone.
As a result, she fell into the trap set by the bandits.
The bandits tied her to a tree and started talking nonsense in broad daylight.
I have to say that the crew paid great attention to every detail. The extras they invited had a rough and vulgar feel when they started acting. The "hooligan words" they spoke and the mean and obscene expressions made the audience hate them to death.
Just when the online comments were full of swear words, Xie Yan, played by Ji Li, finally appeared.
Xie Yan leaned against the tree trunk and used his sword and crossbow to directly deal with the bandits who wanted to bully the heroine.
"…I'm sorry. It seems that I was abrupt and scared the girl?"
Most costume dramas use the voices of dubbing actors. After being accustomed to hearing those almost identical voices, netizens were immediately captivated by Ji Li's beautiful original voice.
The extremely gentle voice carries an indescribable temptation, as if even the listener's ears are enjoying a tingling caress.
Just when everyone was immersed in it, Xie Yan in the play jumped down from the tree.
The man in white seemed to be wearing a divine light, and the veil covering his face was blown up by the mountain wind, revealing a fleeting face of the banished immortal hidden under the white veil.
Suddenly, there was a howling in the live broadcast barrage.
——Ahhhhhh why is he so handsome!
——Fuck! This is the scene when I first got into the game! The Reuters footage is already incredibly handsome, and the lethality of the feature film will increase a hundred times!
——I’m dead! I'm alive again! From now on, Ji Li will definitely have a place among handsome men in ancient costumes!
——It’s over, passers-by are attracted by the looks and fall into the trap! Xie Yan’s costume is much better looking than that of a little beggar! The editors at Bilibili will have one more piece of material about a handsome man in white!
——Ji Li’s ancient costume style is really good. Even a man like me is moved.
Ji Li looked at the screen full of flattery and covered his eyes helplessly and shyly - he hadn't even shown his face yet, so how could such flattery be so pretentious?
A faint smile appeared on the young man's lips, which was particularly cute.
Ji Li in real life and Xie Yan in the drama, a double attack of handsomeness and cuteness!
Not only the fans went crazy, but the netizens also went crazy.
Fans: Sometimes I feel like a mom fan, sometimes I feel like I can be a girlfriend fan, wuwuwuwu, kill me a million times.
Netizens: I really just clicked in casually, but now I don’t want to leave the live broadcast room at all! Ji Li is so handsome, I can do it too!
The TV show is still going on.
The heroine blushed unconsciously at Xie Yan's gentle questioning. The height difference between the two formed a cute contrast, which made the audience's girlish hearts burst.
——Xu Miaomiao’s acting is really good, her blushing looks so realistic! Ah, what girl wouldn’t want a handsome man like Xie Yan?
Xu Miaomiao, who was idle at home, was also watching the latest updates. She saw this real-time comment and was so embarrassed that she rolled over on the bed.
"Oh my god! I actually blushed like this?!"
Why didn’t Director Yao tell me! Let me pass again? Woohoo, I’m so embarrassed in front of Ji Li, my image as a queen is no longer stable.
The agent who lived with Xu Miaomiao walked in, "Miaomiao, what are you doing?"
Xu Miaomiao shook her head and answered seriously, "It's nothing, I'm just a woman who likes to please men. I made the same mistake that every woman in the world would make..."
That is - she was bewitched by Ji Li!
The agent rolled his eyes and left the room without looking back.
…
There is only one third of the sixth episode left.
Xie Yan took Xiao Ke'er down the mountain, but was ambushed by an assassin on the way. The young man's eyes hidden under his veil revealed a cold, painful and sharp murderous intent.
This was a shot recorded later, but it instantly struck the hearts of netizens.
Some fans couldn't help but say: Ji Li's acting skills are so strong, there is no need for lines, I can understand Xie Yan's current emotions with just one look, awesome!
Just as I was sighing, Xie Yan in the TV series started to fight back.
The young man flicked his sleeves flexibly, and suddenly a special small folding fan appeared in his hand. He moved nimbly among the assassins, and his killing intent was evident as he raised and lowered the fan.
The three-minute-long fight scene stunned everyone.
But the plot does not give them a chance to breathe and continues.
When Xie Yan landed on the ground, the "eye-catching" veil finally fell off, and her ponytail, which was tied high with a white ribbon, with three thousand strands of hair dancing in the wind, revealed her stunning god-like appearance.
The young man lowered his eyes calmly, the cold murderous intent around him had not completely faded away.
The heroine Xiao Ke'er ran up and noticed the blood on the back of his hand at the first time, "Sir, are you injured? I can help you..."
"It's okay, it's not my blood." Xie Yan smiled at her gently. He turned around and looked at the assassins on the ground, his face suddenly turned cold.
Xie Yan walked up to an assassin who was struggling, the one he had deliberately left alive.
Xie Yan stared at him for a long time before saying something that hurt him to the bone, "Tell your master that if he wants to kill me, let him kill me personally."
The sixth episode ended here, but all netizens were still caught up in the plot and hadn’t come back to their senses at all——
Where should I start? Where should I start to praise?
The second half of the sixth episode was Xie Yan's personal highlight, and Ji Li's performance made this character reach its peak as soon as he appeared.
Ji Li's posture during the fight was so amazing. Even though I knew that the young man was acting, and even though I knew that acting was inseparable from the help of wirework, I still felt a sense of admiration in my heart.
Especially the skillful movement of waving the fan with fingertips, which is so cool and steady, and you can tell at first glance that a lot of effort has been put in.
In the costume dramas of recent years, the fighting scenes of the characters are either perfunctorily performed or done by a stunt double without showing the character's face at all.
Although fighting scenes are dangerous, actors can cut scenes appropriately or find replacements for their own safety. But to be honest, when the audience watches such fighting scenes, they always feel that something is missing.
Now, Ji Li's martial arts scenes made them believe in the character of Xie Yan, and they seemed to have followed the latter in his joyful journey of revenge.
In a word, it’s awesome!
As for Ji Li's appearance in the play, there is no need to say anything. All the words in the world to describe beauty can be applied to him alone.
About half a minute later, barrages and comments began a new round of screen flooding.
——I’m leaving it here! Ji Li must explode!
——Xie Yanwei fans kneel down to thank Jili, you really made our Yan'er come out of the book!
——After seeing the final makeup photos before, I was worried that it was just well-Photoshopped; after seeing the trailer, I was worried that it was just well-selected clips; but now I can definitely shout that Brother Ji Li deserves everyone’s praise.
——I won’t say anything to praise Ji Li, but did Yan Er misunderstand something in the play? Did he think these killers were sent by Uncle Wang?
——Ahhhhh, sister upstairs, please stop stabbing me! I'm going to cry, oooooo!
——The uncle and nephew Xie are completely in a tragic love relationship! Xie Yan must have misunderstood, otherwise why would he say something like "let him come and kill me personally?" I'm going to cry my heart out.
--ah? I haven't read the original novel, who can help me catch up? What did Xie Yan misunderstand? Does he have a CP in the book? I thought he would pursue the heroine?
——Friends above, please go and read the original novel. It’s not that we don’t want to give you spoilers, but it’s hard to explain it in a few words.
Yes, the feelings between this uncle and nephew are a matter of personal opinion and can only be understood but not expressed in words.
In fact, this group of assassins were all sent by the current Queen Mother. After each failed assassination, the assassins would follow the Queen Mother's wishes and put the blame on Uncle Wang Xie Chenyuan.
Xie Yan was always hurt by this "truth" and would become ruthless and leave no one alive. Xie Chenyuan in the palace was devoted to planning their future freedom, but had no idea of this conspiracy elsewhere.
This is one of the reasons why the two of them drifted further and further apart.
All in all, it's all the fault of that vicious woman, the Queen Mother! The person who deserves to be cut into pieces the most in the original book is her!
Ji Li glanced at the time and finally came back to his senses from the plot and spoke, "Does anyone have any questions? We still have five minutes of online answering time."
Fans' messages and questions quickly popped up, and Ji Li randomly picked a few and answered them in a gentle voice.
"I haven't found a suitable script yet, so I'm resting at home recently."
"The ending cannot be revealed. I hope everyone will continue to watch it patiently."
"Thank you for your encouragement. I will do my best and wish you all a happy holiday."
Five minutes passed in a flash and the live broadcast ended.
Immediately after it ended, the reward list popped up.
Baozi, who was hiding at the side, finally came closer. He glanced at the list and immediately burst out in shock, "Brother Ji, you have a rich fan!"
Ji Li picked up the snow cake that was rubbing against his feet and begging for a hug, not knowing what was going on. "What?"
"Look at the amount of the first-place reward!" Baozi pointed at the computer screen and said excitedly, "It's a full 100,000 RMB!"
Before the live broadcast, they signed an agreement with the drama company and the website. The drama company would not charge any live broadcast reward fees, while the live broadcast website only wanted a share of the traffic.
Therefore, all the reward amount tonight, after deducting taxes, will belong to Ji Li and Chao Ying.
Ji Li listened to Baozi's explanation, with surprise flashing in his eyes.
With one hundred thousand yuan, how many ice creams can he buy for himself? How much cat food should I buy for Xuebing?
After all, after traveling through the book, Ji Li suddenly went through a period of "hard times", and now he is more or less sensitive to money.
He asked, "Really? Could it be that there is a bug in the live streaming website?"
Baozi replied, "How is that possible? This ID clearly shows that he is a fan of yours."
The first on the reward list, with the ID 'I think Jili is cute every day', is indeed a fan of the thickened filter version.
A mere 100,000 yuan is nothing for a star, but in the ordinary fan circle, it is definitely a big-name paying fan.
So, not long after the live broadcast ended, Ji Li’s fan circle exploded with excitement.
Many young fans found the Weibo account of this big guy with the same name and clicked to follow him.
The boss’ Weibo was newly created not long ago, and the first Weibo post was an automatic share from a live broadcast website - I have taken the top spot on the fan ranking list in Ji Li’s live broadcast, come and see my love for him!
There are already many interesting comments below.
——Kneel down and pay homage to the krypton gold boss!
——Everyone has watched and confirmed it, it is confirmed that the boss truly loves Jilizizi.
——The big guys are very domineering when spending money, and their IDs are very cute.
——Is it the ID that is cute? It’s Jili!
…
At the same time, it was not only the fan circle that was blown up, but also Weibo's hot search:
Topics related to #纪厘谢彦# were bought by the production team and put on the hot search list before the sixth episode of the TV series was aired.
At this moment, the TV series has only ended for half an hour, and this topic has already climbed to the sixth place in the hot searches, and there is a trend of continued rise.
The real-time comments were full of praise for Ji Li, and it was no longer just the fans who contributed to the popularity of the topic, but also many drama fans and new netizens.
——Ji Li is amazing! Xie Yan is amazing! My sister was already holding her phone, waiting for me to browse the website again.
——Xie Yan has no trace of the little beggar Song Zhao at all. I heard that the filming time of the two characters was only half a month apart. How did Ji Li do it? Too strong.
——My mom and I watched the live broadcast on TV together. She praised him from head to toe and asked me to find a boyfriend like him. I do want to, but I can’t find one [laughing and crying]
——My dad too! He usually dislikes this kind of costume drama and young handsome men the most, but today, after seeing Xie Yan's fighting scene, he was full of praise for Ji Li.
——Don’t even mention my parents’ generation. My grandma usually goes to bed at nine o’clock. But tonight, for the first time ever, she accompanied me to watch the entire sixth episode. After Xie Yan appeared, she even went to the TV to watch! [Attached photos]
——Hahaha, Ji Li is amazing, he appeals to everyone, young or old, men or women!
The real-time comments in the hot searches tell it all. Ji Li’s number of Weibo followers has skyrocketed, and his ability to attract fans is truly unique.
In the early morning of the next day, the latest TV series ratings were released.
The TV series "The Young Masters" won the Sunday evening ratings championship, with an average viewership of over 2%. Especially from the time when Xie Yan appeared, the ratings continued to rise, with the highest value reaching 2.6%!
You know, these days, any satellite TV series with a viewership rate of over 2% is considered to be a hit.
What's more, Xie Yan of Ji Li has brought the ratings to another level by his own efforts!
The production crew was so happy that they released a clip of Ji Li's fighting scene in the early morning as a response.
In the behind-the-scenes footage, the young man completed the extremely difficult martial arts scene in one breath while hanging on a wire.
The black fans' veiled comments about him being a martial arts substitute were instantly crushed. They found that Ji Li's Xie Yan was so perfect that there were no loopholes at all, so they could only endure it with a sour look on their face.
Drama fans who stayed up late during the holidays reposted the behind-the-scenes footage on Weibo, and without any effort from Ji Li's fans, the Weibo data easily exceeded 10,000.
All of this is enough to show how popular this drama is among the audience.
In the first week of the broadcast of "Da Zong Shao Nian Mo", Xie Yan appeared in the first episode, and there was a consensus in the TV circle -
This TV show is going to be a blast!
Ji Li, who has just made a name for himself on the big screen in the film industry, will have to dominate the small screen on TV for a long time to come!
…
Ten days later.
In the western suburbs of Haishi, there is a cultural and entertainment industry shed.
Ji Li arrived at the address on his phone and saw Yu Fuya as soon as he entered the park. "Sister Yu."
Yu Fuya waved at the young man and handed him a copy of the process content. "Take a look. I just got the advertising script. Time is a bit tight, but I believe you can digest the content quickly."
Ji Li came here today to shoot the Ying's perfume video advertisement.
Three days ago, they received a sudden news that Ying had modified the contract.
The other party not only increased the endorsement fee, but also expanded the promotional method from a single print advertisement to a TVC video advertisement shoot.
After the shooting of the advertisement is completed, it will be broadcast on major online social platforms, satellite TV stations, and offline media.
At first glance, it is a marketing model that aims to advertise everywhere.
Yu Fuya originally couldn't understand why the Ying family suddenly became so wealthy and powerful. After inquiring in detail, she found out that the Ji Group, known as the "business giant", had suddenly cooperated in the investment.
While she was surprised, she couldn't help but admire the young man's foresight.
Although Ying's perfume is a small brand, with this kind of "explosive" marketing promotion in the future, the brand's popularity will definitely increase.
Promotional advertisements are spread all over the place, which can also increase the familiarity of spokesperson Ji Li among offline audiences, which is definitely a double benefit.
The two walked side by side into the filming building of Block A. Ji Li flipped through the filming script and asked in confusion, "Sister Yu, why did the filming of the commercial suddenly change its schedule?"
It was the Spring Festival holiday, and the original shooting time was scheduled for five days later, so Ji Li also gave Baozi a short holiday.
"Ji is very concerned about the new perfume brand they are working on. I heard that they invited director Barry Adolf, but he is very busy and can only spare these two days for filming."
"They have their own team, and they don't celebrate the Spring Festival abroad either."
Barry Adolphe, as mentioned by Yu Fuya, is a famous French advertising director. He was the director of the Deep Sea perfume advertisement for the once popular luxury brand Oman.
At that time, the popularity of this advertisement made Ms. Audrey, the already popular spokesperson, directly rise to the pinnacle of goddess status.
The latter is still active in the hearts of the French people thanks to this advertising image.
"Ji Li, how are you with your foreign language?" Yu Fuya was a little worried. "I heard that Adolf has a very strange temper and is very strict with advertising actors."
She paused, and then said, "We'll shoot later. If you can't handle it, don't panic. Sister Yu will support you in everything."
Ji Li curled his lips slightly, seeming not to be worried about this at all.
As soon as the two stepped into the elevator, Ying Yuanjing, who had not been seen for a long time, walked in. In addition, there was a tall man standing next to him, with handsome features that were very impactful.
The man's eyes were indifferent, and even the slightest nod of his head occasionally showed a sense of nobility. He was wearing a standard black suit with a black and gold brooch with a cloud pattern on his chest, which made him look low-key and rich in connotation.
"Mr. Ying."
Ji Li pressed the elevator door open button, waiting for the person outside to approach and greet them.
When Ying Yuanjing saw him, he immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Ji, long time no see. Let me introduce you. This is Ji Yunzheng, the executive director of Ji Group."
"Mr. Ji, this is the spokesperson for our perfume brand that I told you about—Mr. Ji Liji."
Ji Yunzheng raised his eyes calmly, without a trace of extra expression.
Although they are brothers, Ji Yunzheng and Ji Yunqi have completely different personalities.
The elder brother is cold to the bone, while the younger brother pretends to be cold but says one thing and means another. One is cold and noble, the other is spoiled and unrestrained. Both have unique temperaments, and they really fit the phrase "young master from a wealthy family".
Ji Li smiled without saying anything, and quietly stepped to the side of the elevator to give them the large space.
The elevator door slowly closed.
Ji Li and Yu Fuya exchanged glances secretly. The next second, Ji Yunzheng suddenly turned sideways and asked, "Are you familiar with Xiao Qi?"
Ji Li took a second to realize that he was referring to Ji Yunqi.
"Artists from the same company will always see each other and have some interactions. Young Master Ji has a very good personality and has helped me two or three times."
Hearing others praising his younger brother, Ji Yunzheng's lips curved briefly and slightly.
He looked at Ji Li inconspicuously, and seeing that the young man had clear and calm eyes, his cold attitude finally eased a little, "Xiao Qi should like you very much."
A while ago, the other party kept instigating him to book a theater to invite the group's employees to watch a movie, which was the movie "The Commonwealth of the World" starring the young man.
Ying Yuanjing on the side interrupted at the right time, "To be honest, it's all thanks to the Third Young Master Ji. If he hadn't asked for my business card at the banquet that day, how could our Ying family have caught the eye of Director Ji so easily?"
When Ji Li heard this, a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.
It seems that the current development is almost the same as that in the original work.
The cooperation between Ying's Perfume and Ji's Group is still inseparable from Ji Yunqi's matchmaking. Then, should I return the perfume spokesperson position to Ji Yunqi as soon as possible?
Ji Li was thinking when he heard Ji Yunzheng speak, "To be honest, I originally planned to leave this spokesperson to Xiao Qi, but he said that you are more suitable than him."
Ji Yunqi was well aware of his current popularity and had no intention of hiring a spokesperson. Not only that, he also kept praising Ji Li in front of his brother——
"Brother, you don't understand. I have personally certified that he is handsome!"
"I'm making this clear. If we don't hire him to shoot the perfume commercial, it will be a joint loss for both the Ji and Ying companies!"
Ji Yunzheng had never seen his brother praise an outsider like this before. In addition, Ying Yuanjing also expressed the same affirmation of Ji Li, so he gave up the idea of changing the spokesperson.
Anyway, it's just a one-year endorsement contract. Once Ying's perfume becomes famous, if Ji Yunqi wants to be the spokesperson again, they can still get him.
Family background is capital, and the Ji family has an unconditional preference for Ji Yunqi.
Ji Yunzheng didn't show any expression on his face, but he wanted to wait and see in his heart whether the young man was really that charming and could handle this spokesperson?
Facing Ji Yunzheng's truth, Ji Li did not feel unhappy or ashamed. He nodded slightly and said, "Thank you Ji and Mr. Ying for your appreciation. I will do my best to be a good spokesperson."
Ji Yunzheng and Ji Yunqi are family, and it is not right for the former to have the idea of changing people.
Since the other party is willing to give him this opportunity now, he must naturally live up to this trust in the coming year.
Yu Fuya spoke at the right time, wholeheartedly supporting her own artists, "Don't worry, you two, your choice will not be wrong."
The elevator stopped at the powder room on the sixth floor.
Ying Yuanjing didn't stop them. He smiled and said, "You guys go get ready first. Director Ji and I have an appointment to discuss some serious business. We'll go over and take a look when the filming starts later."
Ji Yunzheng was willing to take time out of his busy schedule to photograph the base, which clearly showed that he valued Ying’s perfume.
As business people, they always have a sharp and long-term vision. From all aspects, Ying's perfume has development prospects.
Ji Li maintained a decent smile, nodded slightly to the two of them, and then left the elevator with Yu Fuya.
Before they could find the exact location of the dressing room, they ran into two familiar figures.
Ji Li was startled when he saw the man he hadn't seen for a long time.
But soon, surprise flashed in his eyes, "Brother Li, why are you here?"
Qin Li met his smile, and the corners of his lips curled up, "I happened to have a magazine photo shoot today, and I heard that Adolf came to Haishi, so I stopped by to see him after I was done."
"Brother Li, do you know Director Adolf?"
"Well, I worked with him on a promotional short film back then."
Ji Li nodded without any doubt.
This park is full of photography bases, and many magazines choose to set up and shoot here.
Qi An stood behind his friend and almost couldn't help twitching when he heard this -
oh? Are you here to see Adolf? I think you are clearly using the director's job as an excuse to meet Ji Li.
oh? Your magazine shoot was in the eastern suburbs, while Ji Li’s advertisement was shot in the western suburbs, two completely opposite directions. Do you still have the nerve to call this going your way?
