Chapter 22: Destined to be a bad movie?
"Wow, so beautiful. There is only one ancient costume beauty in my heart, and that is Xiaofeng"
"Since my Xiao Feng is on the trending search, let me recommend the TV series "Female Official" that Xiao Feng is currently filming."
"Xiao Feng is still so cute, we must support Xiao Feng."
…
This is the treatment of top stars.
In the past three years, not only has Mu Lefeng's acting skills improved greatly, but she has also started to become a traffic star after becoming popular because of the drama "Princess of Song Dynasty" two years ago.
As a result, Mu Lefeng's number of fans on social platforms has exceeded 10 million, and one of his messages can easily be forwarded over 30,000 times. In short, Mu Lefeng can now be considered a top star.
Although her works have not kept up.
All I can say is that artists rely entirely on publicity.
Public relations accounts for half of Mu Lefeng’s success.
The set of "Lady Official".
Mu Lefeng's agent Ding Hong said: "Xiaofeng, there is actually no need for you to keep an eye on Lin Feiyang. He can no longer have any influence on you."
"I don't want him to come back, and I don't want him to be in my sight."
Mu Lefeng said with a slightly calm expression: "Sister Hong, you know what I mean."
"I understand. Don't worry. We have already made all the necessary arrangements. Lin Feiyang doesn't stand a chance."
Ding Hong nodded gently: "Don't worry."
"That's good."
Mu Lefeng looked at herself in the mirror and suddenly laughed: "I still want to know how Lin Feiyang feels?"
…
Tiger Star Films, Wu Hai’s office.
"What???"
Sun Hei said in disbelief: "Boss Wu, are you kidding me?"
Xia Qing also frowned and said, "Boss Wu, if our drama is not broadcast on the three major platforms, it will be a huge loss."
"That's right, Mr. Wu, I believe this drama will definitely become a hit, but how much traffic does Xiaoma Video have? We can't give up a little profit and have to broadcast it on the three major platforms."
Sun Hei said anxiously: "If this drama is broadcast on Xiaoma Video, it will be really blind."
"Don't worry, you two. Do you think I don't want "I Am Yu Huanshui" to be broadcast on the three major video websites? I even wanted to sign the agreement at a bargain price, but it was useless."
Wu Hai shook his head and said, "The other party didn't even bother to talk to me about the film."
"Why? Is it because my last web drama flopped? Because Yu Xiaoshu has run out of ideas? Because Lin Feiyang hasn't filmed a movie in four years?"
Sun Hei still couldn't believe it: "If the Big Three only have this much vision, then they can't become the Big Three."
"I thought so at first, but Zhang Ming reminded me tactfully that the Big Three would not want our show."
Wu Hai smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think I would choose Xiaoma Video if there was any way?"
Xia Qing couldn't understand: "Why?? Let's not talk about Kunlang Video for now, why did Xingyao and Mili also refuse?"
"I wish I could figure it out."
Wu Hai waved his hand and said, "I'm just telling you that the broadcast platform for "I Am Yu Huanshui" has been decided. Xiaoma Video will put all its resources into it later. I've also asked Li Tong to cooperate with Xiaoma Video in the promotion. That's it for now. All we can do is promote it as much as possible."
"How difficult it is."
Sun Hei is already somewhat desperate: "Xiao Ma Video's original audience is not the audience of online dramas. Their video website is half dead and relies entirely on satellite TV replays and variety shows. These are all customers in front of the TV. Who would like online dramas? "
Xia Qing shook his head: "That's not necessarily true. I heard that Xiaoma Video has recently begun to adjust its strategic direction. Their publicity channels are not weak, but..."
He hadn't finished his words, but his frustration was evident.
"Alright, I didn't call you two here to have you lose before the battle."
Wu Hai laughed and scolded: "If the three major media outlets are not optimistic about it, what's there to worry about if the internet is not optimistic about it? As long as our drama is good, it will definitely be a success."
No matter how unfavorable the current situation is, Wu Hai has no intention of giving up.
As long as the play is good, there is no need to worry about success.
Now everything depends on the drama "I Am Yu Huanshui".
Therefore, Wu Hai said to Sun Hei: "I don't understand editing and post-production, but you must be cautious and careful. The quality of this drama determines everything."
Sun Hei gnashed his teeth and said, "Boss Wu, don't worry, I will make sure that everyone will be slapped in the face."
After saying this, Sun Hei left.
He turned his anger into strength.
"oh??"
In the editing room, Yu Xiaoshu was not surprised after hearing what Sun Hei said.
"Xiao Shu, why aren't you surprised at all?"
Sun Hei looked at Yu Xiaoshu in confusion and asked, "And so calm?"
Yu Xiaoshu laughed: "Director Sun, anger is the most useless thing in this circle. Weakness is the original sin, and the weak will naturally be bullied. So what we can do is to work hard to become bigger and stronger. I believe that after "I Am Yu Huanshui" starts airing, it will not be us who will regret it, but those who look down on us."
“Hahaha, that’s right.”
Sun Hei laughed out loud after hearing what Yu Xiaoshu said: "I thought so too."
So, the two of them returned to the editing work.
At the same time, Xiaoma Video's movements are quite fast.
Three days later, Xiaoma Video officially released the release poster of "I Am Yu Huanshui".
"On January 1, 2019, "I Am Yu Huanshui" will be launched on time, so stay tuned!"
This surprised many people.
"Oh my god? "I Am Yu Huanshui" is actually being played on Xiaoma Video???"
“I Am Yu Huanshui is not one of the top three?”
“Huh??? What’s going on?”
…
Not only netizens were surprised, but many people in the industry were also stunned.
After all, although everyone is not optimistic about "I Am Yu Huanshui", the treatment is too miserable.
At this time, an insider said: "It's really because "I Am Yu Huanshui" is too bad. How can Yu Xiaoshu's script be trusted? At the same time, even MiLi Video, which has a very good cooperation with Tiger Star Films, rejected this bad drama."
More and more people started jumping out.
"Haha, what did I say? Aren't Yu Xiaoshu and Lin Feiyang destined to be in a bad show?"
"I've said it before, the times have changed, but Lin Feiyang wants to go against the trend."
"It's a bad drama. Please stop broadcasting such a bad drama."
…
"I Am Yu Huanshui" directly became a hot topic today.
Not only did netizens criticize it, not only did many people in the industry not look favorably upon it, but many people also had opinions about Xiaoma Video at this time.
Ding Yi, the parachuted person in charge of Xiaoma Video, does not have much authority yet. Moreover, the first thing he did after his parachuting in was to acquire "I Am Yu Huanshui" at a high price, which naturally made many people dissatisfied.
“Boss Ding, I Am Yu Huanshui doesn’t even want the top three, why should we collect junk?”
Vice President Wang Fei said to Ding Yi: "I don't think it's necessary."
As soon as Wang Fei finished speaking, other people in the meeting room also jumped out.
"Yes, Mr. Wang is right. Mr. Ding, you should have considered it in advance even if you were buying a drama."
"Boss Ding, you may not know that we at Xiaoma Video have no intention to develop online dramas. Besides, we have developed well with satellite TV in the past two years. Why should we cooperate with Tiger Star Film and Television?"
"That's right, Mr. Ding, I don't think this is appropriate."
…
Several supervisors in the conference room all supported Wang Fei.
Ding Yi was not surprised by this.
Because he had already investigated everything before he came, Wang Fei had a great chance of being promoted to general manager, but he didn't expect that the higher-ups would parachute Ding Yi in. It would be strange for Wang Fei to be happy.
"We have had good cooperation with major TV stations in the past two years, and our development is also acceptable, but our traffic has stagnated. Why? It's because our video website has too few resources. Look at how crazy the three major TV stations have been hoarding dramas in the past two years. Kunlang Video has the continuous resources of Kunlang Film and Television, and Xingyao and Mili have started to produce their own dramas. So what have we done???"
Ding Yi said calmly: "This time, "I Am Yu Huanshui" is an attempt by our Xiaoma Video."
Wang Fei frowned and said, "Boss Ding, you are right, but why do we have to choose a bad movie when we try it?"
“Who told you that “I Am Yu Huanshui” is a bad movie???”
Ding Yi waved his hand and said, "There's no need to discuss this matter. Director Li, in the next half month, Xiaoma Video will only promote one thing, and that is "I Am Yu Huanshui."
Although everyone in the meeting room was unhappy, they didn't say anything else.
This is the power of the top leader.
Ding Yi sneered in his heart, he was determined to do what he wanted this time.
He needs to gain enough voice through "I Am Yu Huanshui".
…
After "I Am Yu Huanshui" was announced to be released on January 1, 2019, the later "The Return of the Swordswoman" was also scheduled to be released on January 1.
However, "The Return of the Heroine" is not broadcast exclusively on Kunlang Video, but is instead broadcast on three major platforms.
You can imagine how popular this drama is.
In addition to "The Return of the Female Swordsman", two other web dramas, "Justice Undying" and "Kill That Woman", are scheduled to be released on January 2nd.
"Justice Immortal" was broadcast on Kunlang Video and Xingyao Video.
"Kill That Woman" is a drama produced by MiLi Video and is exclusively broadcast on MiLi Video.
It suddenly became lively.
Leaving aside the popularity of "The Return of the Female Swordsman", "Justice Never Dies" and "Kill That Woman" are also popular online dramas that have attracted much attention.
Four online dramas took the lead in launching the online drama New Year's Eve battle.
There was also a person who asked, who do you think will become the first successful online drama in 2019?
The first place chosen by most people is "Return of the Swordswoman".
Next are "Justice Never Dies" and "Kill That Woman".
As for "I Am Yu Huanshui", it is destined to be a bad movie.
Under such external public opinion, the first three episodes of "I Am Yu Huanshui" were all edited on December 20.
In the viewing room, everyone felt completely relieved after watching the first three episodes.
They all held their breath.
That means launching a large satellite is not possible.
And just like that, January 1, 2019 finally arrived.
Whether it's a mule or a horse, you have to take it out for a walk.
