Chapter 199 Platform Production
"Nine Chapters of Immortality Cultivation" is about to be broadcast, and short video channels have released some clips one after another.
It is indeed a large-scale production customized for the platform.
Even the OST is sung by the hottest male singer nowadays.
It's a very beautiful song, and coupled with a few clips and the actors' lines, it quickly became popular on the Internet.
Hundreds of millions of dollars were invested in this drama.
From the director to the actors, they are all among the best in the industry.
Even the newly crowned film queen Xia Dan only got the third female role in this drama!
The leading actress is the TV queen Meng Wanqing. In order to film this drama, the crew built an entire film and television studio! Every empty shot is so beautiful.
Many TV series that were originally scheduled to be released were moved to the back to make way for this film.
Even people who don’t usually pay attention to TV dramas will be tempted to watch them when they see the waves of interest online.
A certain video website bought the exclusive broadcast rights, and for a while, all the opening screen ads were promotions for the show.
Including the announcement from the operation side that Chen Duo is the exclusive post-production designer of this film.
Amidst the layers of exploding information, this piece of news wasn't particularly eye-catching. But to Gu's and Duo's fans, it was something they had to support!
Duo's fans were all very excited: "People who admire strong people should be fans of Sister Duo. It's really amazing that she can even join such a big crew."
“I’m so proud to be a fan!”
There are also fans of Gu who said: "The first person to find Sister Duo to be the behind-the-scenes photographer is simply a genius. She is so suitable for this job. I am really looking forward to the behind-the-scenes footage. I can see how the TV series is filmed through Sister Duo's lens! She is worthy of being my sister with connections in the industry."
"No wonder so many celebrities paid attention to Chen Duo some time ago. I finally know why."
"Sister Duo is so tight-lipped. We didn't know she had done so much during this period."
"I've already bought some drinks and food. I'm just waiting for the show to start."
This wave of publicity was so rapid that it spread like a virus in everyone's mind.
Even those in the film and television industry admire them. They're so wealthy. They're willing to spend the money, so the publicity is incredible.
Even Chen Duo prepared milk tea and snacks, and planned to watch a movie in the home theater in the villa.
In her memory, there seemed to be no hit drama with this name in the parallel universe.
But she didn't take it to heart. Maybe this drama was an exception!
When the show started, everyone flocked to a certain pants website, causing the website server to crash and the page displayed 404.
A certain company urgently expanded its backend server capacity.
The copyright manager in charge of purchasing was grinning from ear to ear, and he was already planning to use the bonus to go on a team-building trip abroad!
Thanks to the urgent intervention of a certain technician, everyone finally clicked on the clips of "Nine Chapters of Immortality" with some actors. Both the makeup and post-production were very well done, and the opening song was also very nice. This made many people excited.
It was even praised online: "I can't bear to miss even a frame!"
"I haven't watched the entire opening credits in ages. It's truly a big production."
Soon the show officially began. Everyone in front of the screen was eager to give their all, eager to experience the work of all the big stars.
If it weren't for the platform's efforts, it would be really difficult to assemble such a cast. Many male and female leads who carry the ratings outside can't even rank third here.
The audience is eager for such a visual feast of acting from such a lineup.
But ten minutes into the first episode.
In one of the biggest discussion threads of "Nine Chapters of Cultivation of Immortality", someone posted: "???" and it instantly received over 100,000 likes.
What the fuck is this?
Inexplicable conversations, inexplicable fights, you can't even tell which camp the people are from!
A bunch of character introductions.
Then the story starts with the hero and the heroine falling in love.
When the audience saw this, they thought the wrong movie was playing.
Many people frowned at the same time.
And a lot of the recordings here are live. Some actors' lines are weak and their punctuation is problematic. Even words that are powerful come out soft and limp.
Even Chen Duo and Xu Kaiming decisively turned off the video and found a classic old movie to watch.
Their home theaters are all 3D high-definition and have stereo surround sound. The better the equipment, the more comprehensive the torture when watching bad movies.
After changing the channel, Chen Duo recalled what happened just now and sighed. The show was a disaster.
It's okay for the two of them, but for the audience who have been looking forward to this show, this is an unbearable situation.
"Didn't I spend three hundred million just to let you film a bunch of shit for us to see?"
"Who filmed this? Even if I filmed it with my phone, it would be better than yours!"
"Director, go home. You brought all these top-notch ingredients, and served them on a plate of peanuts. Are you sick?"
"It refreshed my understanding of bad movies. Get out of here with the negative ratings."
"When they were promoting it, they said it was the biggest movie in the industry, but now that filming is over, everyone has been demoted!"
"The haters were ecstatic and couldn't take enough screenshots."
Because expectations were so high, everyone couldn't accept the current situation and kept criticizing the production team.
Even many members of a certain platform have complained, asking why such a bad movie was wasted everyone's time.
There were many spectators attracted at the beginning, but the cursing was also very loud.
The director has always been the center of attention, but this was the first time he felt such widespread hostility that he broke down and started arguing with netizens, saying they couldn't understand his films and that they were for people with a higher level of understanding.
This completely stirred up a hornet's nest. The producer forced him to apologize, and if the show was boycotted during this broadcast period, it would cause public backlash, and the film, which cost 300 million yuan to make, would not even be able to recoup its costs.
Under pressure, the director apologized, but everyone was still not satisfied!
Three hundred million! Even though it’s not his own money, no one’s money can be wasted like this. And so many actors are playing house with the director?
Meng Wanqing had no idea the film had been edited like this. She was furious when she saw it.
Normally, filming takes about three months, but this TV series took her eight months. She only takes on this one drama a year!
Now that it’s filmed like this, not only will her rivals laugh at her, but even her fans will be ashamed.
What’s more, the director even educated the audience online. How could he be so shameless?
Meng Wanqing was furious. She immediately unfollowed the director and everyone involved in "Nine Chapters of Cultivation," leaving only Chen Duo as her follower.
The same goes for everyone else.
Before, this was a great resource that everyone was eager to watch, but after it was released, everyone rushed to cut ties with it. They were so eager to pay to have it taken down!
Many actors showed their worst acting skills since they entered the industry. They were clearly not like this during the performance. Even in the clips, the director asked everyone to improvise and record several versions, which made it very difficult for the actors. In the end, the result was like this.
I feel like I can't let out the air stuck in my chest. I always feel like the director is taking revenge on society!
All the actors unfollowed the show's official Weibo account. Immediately, crew members started to expose the issue, accusing them of being paid exorbitant salaries and now swearing at their mothers.
There was a big commotion outside.
