One Hundred and Sixty, Day Two
Just as Xueer expected, many netizens who had watched the first six episodes began to rebel, and several complaint videos popped up around four in the morning.
The blogger's tone in the video was full of anger, "Who understands, family members, I thought I would see a group portrait, but in the end, isn't this just a male harem novel with a gender reversal?
It's okay to do a gender change, but the development of your love story is illogical. Let's not talk about the original novel for now and start with this drama.
The heroine appears in the first episode, and the image of her being relatively poor is established in the first five minutes. So how can you come up with three hundred taels of gold to redeem her all at once?
What? Is three hundred taels of gold a small amount? I saw the extras all looking envious, which means that this amount of money definitely has nothing to do with poverty in this world...
After another cup of coffee, Xueer immediately turned on the 1.5x speed to finish the video.
A few minutes later, the video ended and she nodded with satisfaction. "Very good, no one complained about Miaomiao. Next."
Guan Miao woke up at noon after a long night. His body was awake, but his spirit was not yet fully recovered. He touched San San beside him and said, "San San, what time is it? What did Sister Deng Ling and the others order for takeout today?"
[It's past midnight now, hurry up and get up. Your lunch today is a fat-reduced chicken breast meal with a tomato.]
“Ah, no fat-reducing meals!”
[You can talk to Deng Ling, what's the point of telling me?]
"Sad."
After such a blow, Guan Miao finally woke up and prepared to get up.
At the dinner table, she ate a light fat-reducing meal while listening to Xueer's report.
"Yesterday's premiere of 'Feng Hua Luan' exceeded 7,000 views within the first hour. The premiere of six episodes had a total of 14.38 million views, with an average of 2.396 million views per episode.
This result is very average, very average."
Guan Miao asked curiously, "How common is it?"
“Simply put, Shu Yan is currently rated as a top-tier player in the industry, Qu Bo also has good traffic, and the daily active users on the online streaming platform are good.
With both leads having huge followings, the first six episodes should have had at least 25 million views, with each episode averaging around 4 million. But yesterday's numbers didn't reach even a single one. Instead, there were a lot of videos complaining about it."
After saying that, Xueer clicked on a video and listened to the public's voice, and the comments section was also the same. It seems that no one likes it. "
[No, why only add emotional scenes for the female lead? And they're so messed up.]
[Since it's already like this, the director team should be more ruthless and add the second female lead's emotional scenes to the female lead as well.]
[I'm curious if this was a sign from Shu Yan or the director?]
[I'm so tired, I'd better go back and read the original novel.]
…
"Did anyone scold me?"
"No."
Hearing this, Guan Miao felt relieved, "That's fine."
"Why are you so relieved? Although no one scolds you, no one praises you either." Deng Ling, who was standing next to her, glared at her when she saw her lying down.
"If no one praises you, you won't have traffic. Then wouldn't the point of filming this drama be lost?" She became increasingly angry. "How about Xue'er post more promotional posts?"
"Wouldn't this officially mean we're breaking off relations with Shu Yan and the others?"
"Let's just tear it apart. They're not being righteous at first, so we don't need to save face for them. Besides, who knows if they'll try to shift the blame to us later."
After saying that, she took Chai Yue and Xue'er to have a simple meeting to discuss the next promotional route.
"What about me?" Guan Miao, the person involved, asked curiously.
"Just act well and don't cause trouble on the set."
"All right."
After getting the arrangement, Guan Miao took a short rest after dinner and then took Xueer and Anjing to the crew.
Uncle Li was driving in front. "Teacher Guan, I'd like to ask for three days off. Is that possible?"
He looked through the rearview mirror at Guan Miao, who was playing with his mobile phone, and his tone was a little nervous.
I have been with Guan Miao for so long, but I have never seen anyone else ask for leave. I don’t know if everyone really has never asked for leave, or if they did, Guan Miao rejected it.
"Sure, what's the starting date? Is there anything I can help you with?"
Hearing her say this, Lao Li immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "Starting tomorrow, my daughter is sick, and my wife can't handle it alone, so I have to go back to see her."
"Is that so? Then you can take a few more days off. You can come back to work after your daughter is fully recovered. Anyway, I'm very idle here right now, so I'll pay you the basic salary."
"real?"
"Of course, I will tell Deng Ling."
"Well, thank you very much, Mr. Guan."
"You're welcome."
After joining the crew, Guan Miao sat down and watched for a while before the show was over.
I have to say that these two people are quite professional. They fight like this in real life, but you can't see it at all in the play.
"Ka, Lao Xu, please put on some makeup. We'll take your close-up in ten minutes."
"Okay, Director Ren."
After giving the order, Director Ren turned to look at Guan Miao, "Why are you here so early?"
"Yes, let's learn some acting skills from our seniors."
"You can learn acting skills, but nothing else."
After saying this, Director Ren talked about her new drama that just aired yesterday, “I watched the drama you aired yesterday.”
In an instant, Guan Miao's heart died.
What's the difference between this and public punishment? She's done for. Director Ren will definitely have something against her.
"How should I put it, the show is pretty average."
really.
"The special effects are just average, and I don't see any highlights in the character designs of the male and female protagonists."
I don't see any highlights either.
"But your acting isn't a big problem."
"Um?"
Guan Miao, who was filled with despair, suddenly raised his head and looked at Director Ren blankly, "Director Ren, what did you say?"
"I think there's nothing wrong with your acting. At least based on the original novel, your performance is pretty close to the original."
"Have you read the original novel? I thought..." I thought famous directors like you only read that kind of famous novel.
Looking at her puzzled expression, even though she didn't say the second half of her sentence, Director Ren could guess what she was thinking.
"As a director, I naturally have to read a variety of subjects, especially books that are widely acclaimed among young people. Otherwise, we old guys really can't keep up with you young people."
"I see."
After the jokes ended, Director Ren's face showed a serious expression, "Although I'm not sure who is behind you, it is definitely not easy to make Deng Ling give up all the artists she has and focus on training you.
But Shu Yan has a lot of capital behind her, so don't take it lightly. She must have some tricks up her sleeve to stay in the industry for so long."
Guan Miao was a little surprised that Director Ren would say this to her. In fact, she had always thought that Director Ren didn't like her very much. Since joining the crew, Director Ren had been too polite and strict with her, and he didn't praise her for her acting skills much, which made her doubt herself for a while.
But what he said today was very practical, which made her doubt the other party's intentions.
Seeing the hidden vigilance in her eyes, Director Ren smiled easily, "Have you always thought that I don't like you?"
She nodded silently, and Director Ren continued, "Yes, a little before. To be honest, I didn't plan to let you audition. Although your previous performances were good, they didn't meet my standards.
Plus, since you started acting in a fantasy drama, I felt that you were becoming frivolous.
But Deng Ling has always recommended you to me, and I have a good relationship with an artist she previously managed, so I have a pretty good relationship with her too.
She's been saying she wants an audition, and it's up to me to decide whether or not it's going to happen. After much consideration, I finally sent you an email."
Listening to his words, Guan Miao blinked slowly and said with some guilt: "I have never heard Sister Deng Ling say these things. I thought this opportunity was the same as the previous one." They were all offered to me on their own initiative.
"Deng Ling has always been like this. Now that you know about it, you don't need to say more to her. Just remember her kindness in your heart."
"I will."
“However, after the audition, I found that your skills seemed to have improved, and you were also more receptive to advice, so after comprehensive consideration, I gave you this role.
I was just afraid you'd get too proud, so I was even harder on you on set. I didn't expect you to actually pull through. So, you've used your own abilities to change my prejudice against you."
This sentence can be said to be very serious.
Guan Miao waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, it's my greatest honor to receive your affirmation."
"Okay, okay, let's skip these flatteries and get down to business. How are you going to deal with Shu Yan?"
"Hmm," she thought carefully and said, "To deal with ever-changing situations with the same attitude?"
