The meeting of Feiyang Entertainment's core members ended in failure, but Feiyang Entertainment finally received some good news.
"Waves and Gunfire" has officially launched, and its viewership rating broke 3 on its first day.
Of course, most of them are fans of Lin Yang and Zhang Chenxi. The two of them are indeed the top traffic stars in the entertainment industry today. Unlike Lin Xiaoxiao, whose first two dramas relied on later efforts, this drama had high ratings from the very beginning.
Lin Yang and Zhang Chenxi's fans spontaneously promoted the show everywhere, keeping it frequently in the public eye. Some wealthy fans even put up screen advertisements in subway stations, making the show a huge hit right from its premiere.
Lin Xiaoxiao herself was unaware of this at the time, and even if she had, she wouldn't have paid much attention, since she was currently worried about how to get a hundred million and then lose it.
The audience will surely say, "If you can get 100 million, why bother returning to a wealthy family? You can just sit back and relax." Lin Xiaoxiao herself stated that she can tell the difference between 100 million and 1 billion, and given her brother's momentum, her annual dividends from her shares will conservatively be at least 100 million. How could she possibly lose the big picture for a small gain?
Of course, this war drama, which fans promoted extensively, aroused the resentment of some casual viewers. A considerable number of viewers were turned off as a result, thinking it was just another fan-exclusive drama.
Of course, the major critics wouldn't let it go, since fan-exclusive dramas are their livelihood, so they flocked to this war film, "Waves and Fire," which marks Director Lin's first time using a popular young actor.
While bloggers had a slight expectation that Director Lin might have the ability to turn things around, after all, her previous film "The Murderer Is Right in Front of You" broke their stereotype that she could only make melodramatic romance dramas. Of course, that was only if she continued to make suspense films. But this time, Director Lin has taken another big step, directly making a war film, which is completely unrelated to her previous works.
Therefore, while most bloggers had high hopes, they still mentally predicted it would be a flop. Because of the positive reception of "The Murderer," they were likely to be more lenient, criticizing the actors more than the director. They hoped that Director Lin would stay true to himself, not be swayed by capital, and continue to produce good works like "The Murderer."
It's hard to imagine how much investment these two popular actors secured for Director Lin, enabling him to use actors from within the industry for the first time. Although some fans online have argued their case, even pointing out that the entire investment in this drama came from Director Lin's company, Feiyang Entertainment, most people don't believe it. After all, everyone knows that Director Lin prefers to use non-celebrity actors.
Therefore, most bloggers clicked on this war film with the intention of criticizing it.
The blogger was immediately amused when watching the protagonist of "Waves and Gunfire" begin, following his perspective as he took his acceptance letter and traveled from a train to an oxcart, then to a boat, finally arriving at the naval academy on a small island off the coast.
The male protagonist is a rich kid who sneaks into the naval academy without his family's knowledge. Along the way, he finds a goose pooping next to him on the train. He tries to reason with the goose's owner, but the goose pinches his butt, making him scream pitifully.
After finally arriving at the port city, the protagonist's luggage was too heavy, and he couldn't hail a rickshaw. In the end, only an old man pulling an oxcart managed to get him to the port because his ox accidentally pulled on the protagonist's shoes.
The male protagonist arrived at school in such a miserable state, transforming from a handsome, dashing, and debonair young man into a slovenly man covered in various odors.
When the female lead saw the male lead's appearance, she thought he was some kind of scoundrel. Upon meeting him, she immediately unleashed a broomstick attack on him. Other classmates who came upon hearing the commotion also launched a barrage of attacks with various fancy "weapons."
The male lead is so pitiful, but also so funny!
The blogger found it increasingly hilarious and unknowingly clicked on the next episode.
This naval school is so dilapidated. The wooden desks and chairs are worn out, and only a small part of the blackboard is usable; the rest is too broken to write on with chalk.
When the male protagonist first arrived at school, he looked haggard. All his former air of sophistication vanished, and he resembled a simple, unassuming fisherman from the countryside. One night, while using the restroom, a crab crawled into his shoe and pinched his little toe, causing him to scream in pain. The screams woke up everyone in the school, even the gatekeeper came to watch.
And this Seven Waves is hilarious! The female lead is the leader, and there are both men and women in the group, and everyone has their own ideas.
The eldest is brave, the second is impulsive, the third is a bit timid, the fourth is a jerk, the fifth is a tattletale, the sixth is a loser, and the seventh is a cute little girl, but she is the top student in the class.
These guys are hilarious. They're always causing trouble around the school, and then the teachers have to drag them around apologizing and cleaning up their messes.
These people took advantage of the fact that Xiaoqi was a promising student in the teacher's eyes and had excellent professional knowledge, and insisted on using Xiaoqi as a shield every time.
However, Sheng Yiyi surprised the blogger quite a bit. This time, she played the fifth child, who had tattling on her lips the moment she opened her eyes. The blogger already had a corresponding character in her childhood in mind. You might say you hate her, but if she hadn't tattled on the teacher and the teacher hadn't arrived in time, everyone would have been in serious trouble.
But it's hard to say I don't dislike it.
The blogger can hardly remember what Sheng Yiyi looked like as a wealthy heiress anymore; all that remains is her shrewish, tattletale-mongering persona in "Waves and Fire." It's hard not to sigh that while talented individuals are common, discerning mentors are rare.
Who can still connect Sheng Yiyi's character in "Love Under the Moonlight" with the tattletale in "Waves"? It's fair to say that bloggers have watched Sheng Yiyi's acting skills gradually transform, and Director Lin is truly skilled at training actors.
Director Lin herself just wants to say, don't get involved, don't throw all the blame on her.
While laughing and reminiscing, the blogger realized that he had already finished watching the updated part. He was a little disappointed that there was only so little to watch. Director Lin was really something, not releasing more.
The blogger has instinctively ignored the fact that Director Lin's dramas air faster than other TV series.
I read the synopsis of "Waves and Gunfire" again, and it definitely has Director Lin's style—a mix of melodrama and humor. The only problem is the slow update speed. Director Lin has already finished filming, can't he hurry up? The blogger unconsciously clicked the "urging update" button. Then, realizing something, wait, wasn't he supposed to be here to criticize the show?
It was only then that the blogger seriously examined the show. Isn't this a war film? How can it be so funny? Aren't war films usually very heavy?
As expected of Director Lin, he never follows conventional filmmaking methods. Director Lin is a magical director who redefines the tragic romance drama and the suspense drama director who lays the killer bare before your eyes. He's truly different.
Although "The Murderer" has finished airing, it is still quite memorable. Even the blogger's mother watched it with great interest and talked about the plot with him. So I have to say I admire Director Lin.
When the perpetrator and the method of the crime are known, the guesses about the motive are incredibly varied, somewhat reminiscent of watching "Today's Talk" when I was a kid.
By the way, can "The Waves" be released faster? Two episodes a day are simply not enough!
