Chapter 76: The Show is Exposed
In fact, it didn't seem like a trailer would steal the show, but Tan Xiaolin was too impatient. Recently, Lin Yang's company and Yaoshi Entertainment seemed to have had some problems. If they didn't speed up, it would be too late when something really happened to them.
So while he was still in favor and Lin Yang had not yet fallen, he asked the post-production department to cut in all his more prominent scenes in "Hegemony".
Once something really happens to Lin Yang and Yaoshi Entertainment, it will be a question whether the show can be broadcast smoothly. If we don't take this opportunity to let the audience notice him, there may not be another chance later.
But he forgot that anyone who has read the book "Hegemony" knows that at least half of his highlight scenes should be the second male lead.
What's going on? Did I see it wrong? Shouldn’t the role of saving the heroine from the cliff belong to the second male lead? How did it become Zhou Jin? Wasn't Zhou Jin still living in seclusion in Xianwai Mountain at this time? 】
[You read it right. Not only did he save the heroine from the cliff, but the person who went alone to Haoyue Ridge to save the protagonist group also changed from the second male lead to Zhou Jin. 】
[Also, Zhou Jin actually died in the end to save the heroine. Oh my God, what kind of magical drama is this? The entire book of "Hegemony" has more than 700,000 words, and the content in which Zhou Jin and the heroine are in the same frame does not exceed 50,000 words, and the male protagonist is basically there. But I actually saw in the trailer that Zhou Jin liked the heroine. Oh my god, this world is upside down after all. 】
[Wow, wow, wow, my Fu Lin is so pitiful. He finally got a big production and the role of the second male lead, but his highlight role was snatched away by someone else. 】
[No wonder he didn't answer when I asked him what "Hegemony" was like the last time I saw him at the airport. In the past, he would promote his dramas seriously and happily even if he only played a small role. 】
[No wonder he seemed unhappy in the Weibo posts and selfies he posted during the filming of "Hegemony". It turns out he was bullied. 】
[Alas, our Zheng Wuan is also very miserable, okay? He turned down two endorsements for this drama. As the male lead, his screen time is less than three minutes in the 28-minute promotional video. 】
[Those who don’t know would think Zhou Jin is the protagonist.] 】
[Oh my god, who is this person who plays Zhou Jin? These people from the capital side are too arrogant. They don’t even take us fans seriously. 】
[The key point is that he doesn't look that good. The Zhou Jin in the book is a hermit with ethereal aura. How does this person fit the bill? I would never believe that he was not put in by the capital. 】
[This is why book fans don’t like film and television adaptations. Many producers who buy the copyright will not respect the original work at all. In order to promote their own people, they will make changes without any bottom line. 】
Both fans of the book and fans of the male lead and second male lead have reacted quite strongly to the drama.
Adaptation should be done in moderation, and using the popularity of the original book to build momentum for yourself is not the right approach.
The official Weibo account of "Hegemony" was bombarded within less than half an hour after the trailer came out, and no one dared to open comments.
Tan Xiaolin's Weibo was also filled with curses, and soon all the information about the producer and investor of the drama was dug out. As expected, Lin Yang was Tan Xiaolin's financial backer, and he was the largest investor in the drama. What else could netizens not understand?
It has been a long time since there has been such a massive boycott of a TV series on the Internet, and "Hegemony" topped the list.
Amidst the criticism, one person stood out: Chu Yunshu, who played the tyrant.
[Oh my god, I think I saw Chu Yunshu in the trailer? Is it really him? The one who plays the tyrant. 】
[Sister, I looked at the cast list and it’s him. I didn’t expect that he looked so good in ancient costume. Although there were only a few seconds of footage, he looked so domineering. 】
[Aaaaaah, I thought I was the only one who noticed. Oh my god, I originally thought that with his looks, he would be more suitable to play Zhou Jin, but after watching it just now, it doesn't seem out of place for him to play the king. 】
[This is acting!] ! ! It was just a glance back, just a cold word "kill", and even his eyes were not particularly fierce, but he could make people feel the domineering aura of an emperor. 】
[I'm done. I really fell in love with him this time. How can a person be so comprehensive? She has good looks, a good figure, good acting skills and great talent. 】
Chu Yunshu never thought that in the 28-minute trailer, he only had a few seconds of screen time and could be noticed and praised so much.
He felt guilty about all the praise, he didn't have any acting skills, he was just acting in his true colors.
This is not the end yet. Soon someone posted a video of Chu Yunshu riding a horse online - it should have been secretly recorded by the staff of the crew at that time.
After the horse got out of control and was tamed by Chu Yunshu, Zhao Mingkai said he wanted to keep the scene where he rode the horse back to the set.
However, Chu Yunshu guessed that Tan Xiaolin would definitely ask for it to be deleted in the later stage, and in fact it was indeed deleted. I just didn’t expect that someone at the scene recorded a video and released it at this time.
The young man is heroic and high-spirited, with a nimble and agile body. He rides a horse, splitting the afterglow of the setting sun, galloping from afar, dazzling.
[Oh my god, is there anything Chu Yunshu can’t do? 】
[He is really amazing, and he is even more handsome when riding a horse. I have fallen madly in love with him. 】
[Why didn’t I realize there is such a treasure in domestic entertainment before? 】
[It seems that he just signed a contract with Yaoshi Entertainment last year. I heard from people in the industry who are familiar with the situation that he is not valued by Yaoshi Entertainment because he refuses to be exploited. 】
[Is Yaoshi Entertainment crazy?] Even if Chu Yunshu didn't use the unspoken rules, with her good looks and skills, she would definitely become famous and make money for the company if the company gave her a little publicity. 】
[Damn it! I really want to swear. What a stupid company this is. So when he was transformed into that monstrous look in "Music Journey", it was because his company was deliberately suppressing him and trying to make him submit, right? 】
[Who would have thought that he would rather be made into an ugly monster and scolded by netizens than agree. Damn, I like him more now. Such a good artist who sticks to his bottom line and has principles should not be treated unfairly like this. 】
[Originally, the tyrant was a very flat villain in the book "Hegemony", but after being portrayed in this way by Chu Yunshu, I suddenly felt that the tyrant should just kill Zhou Jin. 】
Some netizens edited the videos of Zhou Jin and Tyrant riding horses into one scene. The two had a huge difference in temperament, and Zhou Jin was riding a fake horse - he didn't know how to ride one, while Tyrant not only rode a real horse, but also rode it quite skillfully and elegantly.
The contrast is so stark that there is a lot of ridicule and praise on the Internet.
The praise was for Chu Yunshu, and the ridicule was for Tan Xiaolin.
You don’t even have a deep enough understanding of yourself, and yet you still want to steal the show?
Where does this confidence come from?
