Chapter 111 She is my girlfriend~
◎ I used my trumpet to give her a hard thumbs-down. She is not your wife!◎
Song Yu's career as a singer after returning from South Korea has always been called a "blood transfusion" by her new fans.
This year, we are facing a new situation that no one could have imagined.
Some people became fans of her because of the roles she played, and just hope that she can focus on her acting career and follow her as a serious Chinese actress. Some people, after reviewing her old materials, like her stage side more.
Anyway, Huafan, who is very career-oriented, likes to give guiding opinions on the careers of female stars.
To be a singer or an actor, there are gradually two groups that are quite extreme and speak out.
But for Song Yu, it is the same career development, the career she likes to do.
Singing the OST of a drama for himself is an "old tradition" of Song Yu's drama broadcasts.
When the first trailer for Wasteland was officially unveiled at the press conference, the first thought of everyone present was: "A head start?"
The first thing that attracted me was not the picture, but the music, and it started with such a powerful music.
A rapid drumbeat was heard, and Lin Sheng, who was present, felt as if his heart was hit by a heavy hammer. It began to vibrate with a "boom, boom, boom~" sound, with an incomparable wildness and power, directly hitting the depths of everyone's soul.
It feels like being at a rock concert with thousands of people watching, feeling unprecedented shock and passion.
This idea was the first thought that the blogger Lin Sheng had when he heard the prelude background music after the trailer for the new drama came out.
This line of thought failed to expand further, and the scene on the big screen was the main course.
The trailer opens with such a heart-shaking musical storm as a prologue, which instantly grabs everyone's attention and captures the hearts of everyone present at that moment.
Following the roar of music and the advancement of rhythm, the first wave of visual shock waves belonging to the wasteland world came like a flood.
In the picture, the doomsday scene unfolds slowly like a tragic yet magnificent painting. The vast earth is covered with endless yellow sand, and the sky is so gloomy that it seems to be dripping with water. In the distance are collapsed buildings and raging storms, and in the near distance are the tiny but tenacious figures of human beings in the face of the doomsday catastrophe.
The short two and a half minute trailer passed quickly. As the trailer slowly ended, the live space lit up again, and the people were pulled back to reality. They were all silent for two seconds as if they were slow to react, and then suddenly broke into spontaneous applause.
Under the white light, Lin Sheng went from being indifferent to the on-site arrangements that he had omitted when he first came in, to a belated sense of sudden enlightenment.
The preview images flashed through my mind, and the background layout of the scene...
I have to say, it really is a good match.
Everyone was attracted by this powerful trailer. Wasteland-themed novels have been written to death by online writers.
But it has never been put on the screen of domestic entertainment dramas.
It's not that I don't want to shoot it, but the post-production is very difficult, and the investment of money and time is very high, comparable to shooting a science fiction movie. There is also more than a 60% chance that it will become a bad movie.
The investment scale for movies is already so high, let alone TV series!
But when the first wave of announcements came out, the people present were satisfied. Even if it was a scam in the form of an announcement, it achieved the desired effect.
Lin Sheng was more interested in the background music at the beginning. Even if it was the law that bad movies could produce great songs, he felt that the music just now would definitely be a great song.
The production team didn't hesitate and showed them a five-minute trailer with the complete theme song. This time, Lin Sheng finally remembered to turn on the camera on his phone.
So do the people around me.
There is no mandatory requirement not to record videos on site.
What they don’t know is that right after the press conference, the official account will immediately synchronize all the materials that have just been broadcast to the entire online promotion.
Mr. C’s last blog post about the drama was written after he watched the long trailer under the theme song.
They all heard that the female voice of the theme song was sung by Song Yu. It was a song with a style similar to that of hot-blooded Japanese anime. It was the first time that Song Yu sang a rock song.
Regardless of whether the drama will be a hit or not, Lin Sheng is sure that the theme song will be a hit.
This is what he meant when he posted, "What kind of explosive physique does Song Yu have?"
"Sister Song! Lend me your career luck!"
In a moment of excitement, I left this exclamation under my blog post.
The model of broken walls and dim flickering lights create a unique doomsday atmosphere.
Song Yu and other actors stood under the spotlight, calmly sharing the stories and insights behind the filming. Through their descriptions, one seemed to be able to get a glimpse of that mysterious and dangerous wasteland.
His words revealed his anticipation for this brand-new theme, which raised the expectations of fans and media on the scene for the drama to the maximum.
“I hope everyone enjoys this drama.”
For actors, every drama is their child.
When this "child" comes out, will it be met with applause or criticism? As creators, although they have had countless experiences in releasing their works before, they still wait nervously and anxiously every time.
But this time, everyone was very confident.
Their work is not a scammy sci-fi drama.
The official broadcast time of the new drama "Wasteland: Simple Night" is tonight.
They planned to fight a war at high speed and landed at high speed, leaving no room for fermentation and attack.
One thing that everyone has temporarily overlooked is that Song Yu's company participated in the investment.
It is the second largest investor after the platform.
"This year's summer vacation season is really different."
As the press conference ended, those who hurried to write the on-site repo had the same idea.
.
Song Yu's new album was officially released two weeks after the new drama was aired.
Many people only then knew that the name of the album was "Simple Night".
"Is the new album titled 'Jane Night'? That's so crude and simple."
"Calling her Jian Ye is fine. Isn't she the most popular person recently? Just because the full audio of this song hasn't been released, God knows how many times I watched the song preview at the press conference."
"Hahaha~ Me too, the more I watched the drama, the more excited I got. I went to look for the song, and hey! It wasn't available anywhere online. It turns out it's the title song from Song Yu's new album."
"How about I say it! Song Yu is always the first to try something new. With such good taste, I could even follow her to buy lottery tickets."
"Didn't her own company invest in it? She must have been optimistic about this project from the beginning. Her fans tried desperately to stop her from taking it, but she finally accepted it. If she had really turned it down, she would be regretting it now."
"So, you ignorant pollen, stop worrying about your master's business!"
In the summer vacation schedule dominated by ancient costume dramas and fairy tale dramas in the past, a different dark horse emerged in 2024, leading the first place in the summer vacation schedule and continuing to rise in popularity. There is no doubt that it is the only hit drama among domestic dramas in the first half of this year.
Looking at the various popularity values it has achieved, if the dramas to be broadcast in the future want to admit that they are popular, they must surpass the performance data of Wasteland.
To wash away the nickname "waste" given by some fans before the filming started in order to boycott the show.
Later, Song Yu's opponents, in order to criticize the drama, also followed suit and called him "waste".
Before the show was aired, when the release date was announced, passersby joked, "Why not give it a new name?"
It is a habit to call someone "waste~waste". This name is unlucky.
The production team refused to change the show, and it was criticized as a "waste" for two and a half years until it was first aired.
Now it seems that this nickname is quite ironic, a reverse boomerang for the real losers.
There is some black in the red, but these blacks are not something to be afraid of for the current production team and the leading actors.
It’s inevitable that someone will become famous without some negative comments.
As the heroine of the drama, Jian Ye, Song Yu has reaped all the benefits, and now her new album of the same name is about to be released.
In fact, one night before Wasteland was to be broadcast, Song Yu's studio announced the release date of the new album. At that time, her fans said she was crazy for bundling her new album with the new drama.
It means we should pounce together!
To everyone's surprise, as the situation got higher and higher, it exploded and became uncontrollable.
Although they are both releasing albums, the domestic entertainment industry and South Korea are two different environments.
Compared to Quan Zhilong, who is struggling to prepare the return materials, Song Yu is much less worried.
After releasing the song, there was no stage show, no radio broadcast... and even no physical album. If you don't have the popularity that comes with being a singer, I'm afraid that apart from your fans, not many people will know about your new song.
Therefore, inserting new songs into a new drama has become the latest way to promote songs. And only popular singers, who are already regulars in singing drama OSTs, have this opportunity.
It attracted more listeners, and many people who came to listen to the songs only then realized that this was also a new song in the singer's album!
This is the approach that Song Yu takes with her new album.
Compared to the promotion of the new song, the busy schedule during this period has been centered around the promotion of the drama.
Wasteland has only aired its first season, but judging by its popularity, Song Yu's popularity won't have to worry about the next three years, nor will there be any worries about the production funding for the remaining two seasons.
In order to achieve better results, the production crew will continue to strive for perfection in the remaining post-production.
If the production cycle is extended a little longer, Song Yu's recovery period will be longer.
The continued blood supply for the next two seasons will allow Song Yu to reap the benefits until he is 40 years old.
As for the popularity of the new drama, Song Yu, the person involved, actually doesn’t have such a deep feeling about it. Everyone just knows that it has reached the level of a hit drama among domestic dramas this year.
But to what extent will it explode?
Song Yu never thought that it would be her boyfriend who was far away in South Korea, so Quan Zhilong felt the popularity of the drama on her behalf.
After so many years of development of Chinese drama, the influence of Chinese drama in the common cultural circle of East Asia is no longer the same as before, and the situation of being dominated by Korean drama is no longer.
Chinese dramas are mostly known for their costume dramas and sweet urban dramas. After the broadcast of Wasteland, they also attracted a wave of audiences abroad.
There are also quite a few fans of this subject matter, and its attention is no less than that of costume dramas.
It also attracted a lot of male viewers who had never watched Chinese dramas before.
Kwon Ji-yong was busy with his comeback and had no time to follow his girlfriend's new drama, but it turned out that many people around him were also following the drama.
On a certain day at a filming location, Kwon Ji-yong was staring at himself in the makeup mirror, his hair ends fixed with hairspray, when suddenly a string of unfamiliar Chinese lines came into his ears.
When he turned around suddenly, he saw a male staff member jogging past with a mobile phone in hand. On the lit lock screen, a pair of sharp eyebrows caught his eyes.
Very familiar, but different from the gentle eyes and eyebrows he remembered.
But I can recognize it, it's clearly Song Yu!
She was wearing a motorcycle leather jacket stained with ash, with the ruins of a collapsed skyscraper behind her. There was a trace of blood at the corner of her eye like undried cinnabar. She was completely different from the image in his memory, wrapped in a blanket, curled up on the sofa and watching a romance movie with him.
It should be the wallpaper of the male staff member's mobile phone. Quan Zhilong felt a sudden twitch between his eyebrows, and the fingers holding the thermos cup tightened unconsciously.
Tonight's filming is about to end, so we don't have to stay up all night, but it will still be late at night when it ends.
No one would say anything about the behavior after work, but Quan Zhilong's proactive questioning made the young man stunned.
"Is this the latest new idol singer?" Chaojue asked casually.
I deliberately mentioned Song Yu, wondering if she is a member of a new girl group that debuted recently and has a different concept style.
Anyway, during the years when he was not active, there were so many younger groups that debuted in the music industry, so it would not be surprising if he didn't know about them.
"Ania~hyong!"
"This is the protagonist of a Chinese TV series I watched recently."
When Kwon Ji-yong was at the scene, many people who had actually come into contact with him would exclaim: GD xi is such a very polite and well-educated person.
Whether it is his attitude towards the filming staff or leaving the scene after finishing work, you can always see him bowing 90 degrees to others.
Many newcomers who have just debuted cannot achieve the same level of humility as him.
This kind of lasting humility and courtesy that is engraved in the bones cannot be faked.
Gradually, people stopped treating him as a big star and treated him as a kind senior.
There is a kind of sharing joy after meeting someone with the same burden, and it is a science fiction theme that is not a love story and is of interest to men.
"hyong, this drama is really popular recently."
"A lot of people are following this. This actress is really beautiful. She's actually Yuna Xi, the former singer from SM Entertainment."
The other party was like a lit firecracker, exploding a string of Korean Amway attacks. When he was excited, Quan Zhilong heard a shocking statement in his ear, "This person will be my new girlfriend from now on."
Quan Zhilong: "Moragu?"
The superstar Quan, who didn't understand the current terminology of TV drama chasing, looked up at the young male staff member in astonishment and disbelief.
Stylist Ji-eun, who was passing by, joined the conversation at the right time.
Thinking that Quan Zhilong didn't understand, she kindly and humorously explained to him: "It's the habit of these young people to watch TV series!"
Ji-eun: "I call the actors I like in the show my boyfriend or girlfriend."
Quan Zhilong: “………”
In fact, they are no different from the female fans who used to chase after Kwon Ji-yong and shout "Husband~" at concerts.
Chasing dramas! Immersive experience.
Quan Zhilong suddenly realized that it was just an inexplicable subtle feeling that Song Yu was suddenly called someone else's "girlfriend" in front of him.
The woman pursed her lips tightly, keeping them tense the entire time, afraid that her uncontrollable smile would leak out.
Stylist Ji-eun feels that she has to hold back her laughter more often recently.
It's a bit too high, not good for your mouth! kkkkk～
…………
On the way back, Quan Zhilong was leaning back in the back seat of a large business car, looking at the familiar faces in the stills. They were the ones he had just clicked on in the Korean website search.
Only then did I realize that Song Yu's popularity on the Korean Internet and the frequency of news reports have reached a new high in the past half month.
The popularity of her new drama and new album has extended to the Korean Internet, and there are many reports specifically tracking her latest news.
The comment section below is full of reviews about the new drama Wasteland and the new song Jian Ye.
I have to say that Korean netizens, who are known for their sharp tongues, were quite friendly in their comments about Song Yu, especially because of a drama that everyone loved to watch.
There is also a herd mentality, and there are many people who follow the trend to watch and comment.
There are also quite a few comments in the comment section, like what the male staff member’s girlfriend said just now.
'Yuna is my new wife!'
The most popular comment and the one with the most likes.
"Oh!"
The wife, boyfriend, Quan Zhilong, who was busy trying to make a comeback, suddenly found that her love rivals had suddenly increased.
He gave a hard thumbs-down with a trumpet.
In the quiet car, Tiger, who was driving in the front, heard Quan Zhilong mutter, "She is my girlfriend~"
She's not your wife!
