Mo Mingrui had never felt that 24 hours could be so long.
After watching the first episode of "Republic of China Literary Masters" yesterday, he suffered from insomnia and tossed and turned at night. After finally falling asleep, he had another messy dream.
Sometimes I dreamed that I became a coffin bearer, and sometimes I dreamed that I was on the battlefield fighting with others with bayonets.
When he woke up in the morning, he felt dizzy, with backaches, as if he had just been beaten up.
After breakfast, he went to Xingbo for another look, searching with the keyword "Biography of Great Literary Masters of the Republic of China", and was surprised to find that there were some related updates.
【Ah Ji: I won’t allow anyone to read “Records of the Great Writers of the Republic of China”! I cried and snotted yesterday, and my face was swollen when I woke up today! 】
[Parents' Love is really good: Has anyone watched "Records of the Great Writers of the Republic of China"? The first episode was updated yesterday. It can be seen that the crew is quite poor, but the plot is really good. If the follow-up does not collapse, it is destined to be a masterpiece! ]
[When you see me, please urge me to study: #《Records of Literary Masters of the Republic of China》# That era was poor, backward, barbaric, and ignorant, but everyone had boiling courage and enthusiasm in their hearts. I love that era. ]
【夜雨声烦: Does anyone know any books about the Republic of China? I read "Records of Literary Masters of the Republic of China" yesterday and I am very interested in this era! 】
Mo Mingrui was somewhat happy.
He originally thought that "Chronicles of Great Writers of the Republic of China" lacked marketing in the early stages, the subject matter was unpopular, and the actors were not famous, so maybe no one would watch it!
Now I find that there are still a small number of people who like "Records of Literary Masters of the Republic of China" as much as he does, which is a pleasant surprise. This also deeply proves that good wine needs no bush.
He touched the old scenery of Xingbo again.
Previously, due to the support from official media such as Renren Daily, the number of fans of Jiu Shi Feng Jing had increased to one million. After cooling down overnight, the popularity has not completely subsided.
There were already hundreds of comments under the Weibo post of Jiushi Fengjing reminding him of the update of "Records of Literary Masters of the Republic of China" yesterday. He clicked on it and saw that they were all flattering. Like Mo Mingrui, they were the first batch of fans of "Records of Literary Masters of the Republic of China".
Mo Mingrui spent most of the day on Starnet. He occasionally checked the comments about "Records of the Republic of China's Literary Masters" on Starnet, rewatched the first episode, and tried to write a film review to recommend this work to more people.
At 7:30, my cousin called me and said, "Cousin! Don't forget to watch the second episode today!"
Mo Mingrui: "I've been waiting for a whole day, how could I forget!"
"Oh no, I'm going to recommend this drama to my parents!"
Mo Mingrui didn't know that at this time, in other corners of China, there were also people looking forward to this TV series.
Amid the eager gaze of countless people, the second episode of "Chronicles of Great Literary Masters of the Republic of China" was finally broadcast.
…
【Zhou Dezhang lost his voice: "What did you say? Zhang Tongjue is dead?"
Fu Kemao nodded. "He and Mr. Li died at the same time."
Zhou Dezhang frowned and fell into deep thought.
He felt that things were becoming increasingly bizarre.
In the suicide note that Li Jingran sent to him before his death, he mentioned that the people who wanted to kill him were from the Qing Gang.
When it comes to the Green Gang, everyone in China knows about it. This is a huge organization whose members include all kinds of people in China, from high-ranking officials to peddlers. They may all be members of the Green Gang. This secretive and huge organization has planned many assassinations. Li Jingran is not the first, nor the last.
Now that Zhang Tongjue was a big boss in the faction, it was really strange for him to die at this time.
Was it Li Jingran who risked his life at that time?
Or does someone want to kill and silence the witness?
…
“Liao Fang!” Li Shuran’s face was pale, but her eyes were surprisingly bright. “He is from the Green Gang and had contact with my brother before… maybe he knows what happened!”
Zhou Dezhang nodded in surprise: "Where should I go to find him?"
"He works as a porter at the dock outside the city."
…
"Liao Fang? He quit his job a long time ago. Where did he go? How would I know?" The porter wiped the sweat from his forehead and said coldly and casually, "I heard that he offended a big shot and might be dead now."
The hard-earned clue was interrupted like this, and Zhou Dezhang turned away in despair.
…
Zhou Dezhang discovered that someone was following him.
He turned into an alley as if nothing had happened, walked a few steps, and suddenly turned back and shouted, "Who are you? Why are you following me?"
The man behind him lowered his head, remained silent for a few seconds, then raised his head and said, "Don't investigate the Qing Gang anymore."
"Why?"
"Because you will die."
Zhou Dezhang sneered: "Do you think I'm afraid?"
As early as when he decided to seek justice for his friend, he had already put his life and death aside.
The visitor shook his head, with a look of regret: "I know you are not afraid, but if Mr. Li knew about this, he would not want to see you sacrifice."
Zhou Dezhang's expression changed. He suddenly remembered a name: "Liao Fang?"
The visitor nodded with difficulty.
Zhou Dezhang took a few steps closer, stared at him earnestly, and lowered his voice, "Since you are Mr. Li's friend, then you should tell me what happened!"
"Can you just watch the person who harmed Mr. Li continue to go unpunished?"
Liao Fang avoided his gaze and answered dryly, "Zhang Tongjue is dead."
Zhou Dezhang shook his head and asked firmly, "If I'm not mistaken, Zhang Tongjue is just a pawn, and someone else killed Li Jingran, right?"
Liao Fang remained silent.
Zhou Dezhang moved people with his emotion: "I heard from your colleagues that you love Jingran's works the most, and even made a clipping book of "The Rise of Dynasties". Jingran was only 17 years old, he could have a bright and brilliant future. Now he died innocently, don't you want to seek justice for him?"
Liao Fang lowered his head, his shoulders trembling slightly, and a few bean-sized drops of water fell heavily on the ground, but he finally gritted his teeth and said nothing.
Zhou Dezhang was finally disappointed.
"If you really understood Li Jingran's article, you shouldn't remain silent now." He walked forward and said with disdain, "You don't deserve to like Li Jingran."
A pair of trembling fingers suddenly grabbed his sleeve. He was startled and turned around in surprise. He saw Liao Fang crying, silent, raising his hand tremblingly, with his index finger pointing upwards.
What's above?
Zhou Dezhang looked up, the sunlight was so blinding that he could hardly open his eyes.
"What happened in the sky?"
"Mr. Zhou, you... must live well."
Liao Fang withdrew his hand, bowed deeply to him, and left in a hurry.
Zhou Dezhang looked at his panic-stricken back in confusion. Slowly, he seemed to think of something. He suddenly looked up at the sky, with deep shock and enlightenment in his eyes.
What is in the sky?
Blue sky, white day, that's all.
The camera turned again, and the blue sky, white sun flag fluttered in the wind above the heavily guarded presidential palace.
……】
Qianzuru blinked in shock, then realized that the video had ended.
He gasped sharply and his heart was pounding violently.
If the first episode of "Chronicles of Great Literary Men of the Republic of China" was tragic and inspiring, then the second episode was horrifying.
After breaking through the layers of fog, the real culprit seemed to emerge from the water.
The murderer was so powerful.
Why did he want to kill Li Jingran?
What exactly did Li Jingran write?
Is the murderer implied in the current plot really the real murderer?
Will there be a reversal later?
If the murderer is really the president, how can Zhou Dezhang, a weak scholar, take revenge?
At this moment, countless questions were swirling in Qianhe's mind.
If it were other ordinary audiences, they would have to wait anxiously for the next week, but Chizuru is different. He can call the director directly!
"Mr. Fengjing! Is the murderer really the president?"
"no."
"Who is the murderer?"
Facing Qianhe's questioning, Le Jing answered firmly: "I won't tell you."
"Ahh, don't keep me in suspense at a time like this, I'm getting so anxious!"
Le Jing smiled and said, "Then please continue to pay attention to our next update."
Qianzuru refused to give up. "... Can't you be flexible?"
Le Jing was calm and composed: "What's the fun of watching the drama if I know the answer to the mystery?"
"Oh, okay." Qianhe remembered something else: "I heard that you guys are filming and broadcasting at the same time. Have you already filmed several episodes?"
"Four episodes."
Qianhe suddenly got excited: "Then can I..."
Le Jing said coldly: "No."
“Ah…” Qianhe had expected this and was not too disappointed at this moment. She could only remind Le Jing: “You must shoot well! I have a feeling that as long as you don’t collapse later, it will be a masterpiece!”
"Then I'll give you good luck."
Le Jing hung up the phone and looked at the rapidly growing numbers in the background, feeling particularly happy.
So far, their total income has reached 700,000! If they spend it frugally, it's enough for them to shoot three episodes of TV series!
I really have to thank Liu Yinxiu for being able to generate such high returns without paying any publicity and promotion costs.
In order to make more money later, Le Jing thinks that their crew should leverage their strengths for marketing.
What is the biggest advantage of their crew?
Veteran actor? Good script? Director named by official media?
Neither.
The biggest advantage of their crew is poverty.
Le Jing calmly posted a post on his blog:
[Old scenery: #The poorest crew in history is open for business#
What, you said the actors' costumes were too low quality? This is clearly a hot item on Taobao! What, you said the props were too simple? This was clearly made by me, the director! What, you said the makeup was too ugly? This was clearly painted by the actors themselves! What, you said our crew was too poor? Yes, that's right. Poor crew, please ask the rich online to humiliate us with money. 】
[It’s Luobo, not Luo Bao: ??? Big Boss, your account has been hacked? ]
[Eating 300 lychees a day will cause you to get irritated: hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha]
[Not in a good mood today: Oh my god, are you really that poor? ]
[I wrote a little less: I have never seen such a poor crew in my life. ]
【See you tomorrow: I suddenly feel like you are going to be on the hot search list of Starblog again. 】
Le Jing raised his eyebrows. If it wasn’t for the trending search on Weibo, would he have lost his integrity and played the victim so hard? Although what he said on his Weibo was all true (…)
Of course, it is not so easy for him to get on the hot search list just by posting something on Star Blog personally. If he wants to get on the hot search list, he needs marketing accounts to add fuel to the fire.
Le Jing happily reached an unspeakable py deal with several marketing accounts with tens of millions of fans. They will continue to issue press releases and continue to market the poverty of their crew.
Other dramas rely on money to gain popularity, but their drama goes the other way and relies on poverty to make its debut.
