The Wind of China Entertainment 2005

Chapter 680: Killing Two Birds with One Fish

As a senior screenwriter, Kim Eun-sook is able to analyze the pros and cons of a drama based on her professionalism.

But most viewers do not have this ability, or they are unwilling to delve into the logic behind it, and are simply attracted by the novel setting of this drama.

Time-travel dramas have become all the rage in recent years, jumping from ancient times to modern times, or from modern times back to ancient times.

If you watch too many similar themes, you will inevitably get aesthetic fatigue.

Therefore, when a work with aliens landing on Earth as the background came out, the audience was refreshed.

Jing Tian is one of them.

The movie "Special Mission" starring her has entered the promotion stage. She followed the crew to Hunan these days to record "Happy Camp".

In the hotel, Jing Tian was wrapped in a white bathrobe, leaning against the head of the bed, staring at a familiar face on the iPad screen without blinking.

"Brother Lu, this look will surely make countless young girls in the country fall in love with him," she sighed.

For a long time, many people have ignored Lu Yuan's outstanding appearance because of his superb business ability.

Jing Tian is not among them. She has become a fan of her senior brother a long time ago.

Unfortunately, most of the roles that my brother has taken on in the past did not care about his image.

In terms of appearance, the most widely recognized characters are Liu Xinjie in the spy war "Before Dawn" and Xu Changqing in "Chinese Paladin III".

Now, Lu Yuan is wearing a neat suit and gold-rimmed glasses, showing his ascetic temperament to the fullest.

Jing Tian opened the PPS barrage, and sure enough, the screen was full of the words "Lu Yuan is so handsome".

"My Love from the Star" has a compact plot. It only takes eight minutes at the beginning to explain the origin of the male protagonist, who landed on the Earth during the Ming Dynasty and saved the female protagonist's previous life.

The camera then turns to the modern era, explaining the background of the heroine, Song Yiren.

Song Yiren is the most popular female star in the entertainment industry. She debuted as a child star and started filming at an early age, which resulted in her low level of education.

However, he insisted on creating a cultural persona. When he posted on Weibo on the set, he fabricated a Nobel Prize in Mathematics out of thin air, which led to ridicule from the entire Internet and criticism from his peers.

For a time, public opinion was boiling, reputation took a sharp turn for the worse, endorsement contracts were terminated, acting offers were snatched away, and career hit a low point.

Seeing this scene, Jing Tian couldn't help but be speechless, and inexplicably felt that she was being implied. Looking at the barrage of comments, the audience was laughing like crazy.

"Oh, it has to be Lu Yuan's drama that dares to shoot, revealing a corner of the entertainment industry to us. I was wondering, celebrities are also human beings, how can they be proficient in everything? It turns out that they are all character settings."

"I've learned my lesson. Next time there's any negative information about a celebrity exposed online, I'll have to be rational and eat melons. It's probably my peers who are playing tricks. The entertainment industry is really deep and you guys really know how to play it."

"Lu Yuan is so handsome, Liu Xinyou is so beautiful, and Liu Shishi is so sour."

After Song Yi's character collapsed, she moved into a new home to avoid the paparazzi, but unexpectedly met Professor Chen, played by Lu Yuan.

Professor Chen is an alien who possesses unimaginable abilities such as teleportation, flying, and freezing space, and his appearance remains forever.

In order to integrate into human society and avoid causing unnecessary trouble, he changes his identity every ten years.

Currently, he is a professor in the History Department of the School of Humanities at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

Although he was a professor and rode a bicycle to class every day, he came from a wealthy family and lived in Lujiazui, and Song Yiren's new home happened to be next door to his.

So, in the elevator, Song Yiren narcissistically mistook him for a stalker fan and started blaming and scolding him.

Lu Yuan remained silent throughout, his eyes revealing confusion and disgust towards her.

The elevator door opened and Lu Yuan walked out with big strides.

Song Yiren chased him frantically, shouting, "Stop! Do you still want to go to my house? Don't go too far. If you don't stop, I'll call the police..."

When she found Lu Yuan parked in front of the door next to her house, she instantly realized that she had made a big mistake.

Song Yiren was embarrassed and tried to ease the atmosphere, explaining that her house was next door, they were neighbors, and this was a misunderstanding.

Lu Yuan turned a deaf ear to her and just stared at her with cold eyes.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Liu Xinyuo lacked confidence.

"I need to enter the password." Lu Yuan answered expressionlessly and waved his hand, signaling her to get out.

After Lu Yuan entered the room, Song Yiren muttered a few words to the closed door.

She is glamorous in front of the camera, but in private she is a carefree, sensitive and slightly neurotic girl.

After returning home, Song Yiren took out her mobile phone and checked Weibo.

The Nobel Prize in Mathematics issue caused her to be criticized by countless netizens and colleagues in disguise. The overwhelming accusations and insults on the Internet made her exhausted.

She looked at the disgusting comments flashing across the screen and her mentality finally broke down completely.

So I took a quick bath, went crazy in the living room and sang.

Jing Tian felt the same way.

Ever since "Warring States" was released, especially after Sun Honglei returned the film remuneration, public opinion began to point one-sidedly at her.

A series of negative labels are attached to her, including resource-rich, box office poison, and poor acting skills.

Gradually she has gotten used to the fact that if an artist does not have a big heart, it is better for him to quit the circle early.

On the screen, Liu Xinyuo was acting crazy.

In fact, when Jing Tian first learned that her senior was going to star in an idol drama, she fantasized that she would have the opportunity to star in it.

Senior Brother Lu once said that she was suitable for the small screen to improve her appeal to the audience.

Mr. Lu from the agency looked down on the small screen and designed a big screen route for her, but he also felt that starring in "My Love from the Star" would be a rare opportunity and would be of great benefit to her.

Unfortunately, after she went for the audition, she found that she could not perform the role of Song Yiren, who was sometimes full of charisma, sometimes down-to-earth, and sometimes crazy.

Mr. Lu looked at the audition clip on the camera and was too embarrassed to ask Senior Brother Lu for mercy.

Jing Tian turned her attention back to the plot.

Song Yiren still didn't feel satisfied after going crazy, so she turned on her mobile phone to play games, with the volume turned up loud, and the camera moved in to give a close-up.

"Please give Daji your orders, Master!"

The green Canyon of Kings appeared on the screen. After some preliminary attempts, Song Yiren seized the opportunity and controlled Daji to beat Nuwa to low health in the middle lane.

When he was pursuing the victory, he was taken away by the opponent's jungler who suddenly appeared.

"First Blood!"

She was so angry that she cursed and clicked on the death replay of the game.

The list of teammates includes "Lu Yuan", "Liu Shishi", "Tang Yan", "Jing Tian" and "I am not Song Yiren".

Jing Tian was happy that her name appeared.

Although she has no role in this drama, she has played a lot of games and has collected a lot of skins.

Well, there aren’t many skins in this game right now, but she has already decided that as soon as skins are released, she will buy them. Since her rank can’t be raised, she will just spend a little bit more money.

The sudden appearance of the game screen aroused the audience's strong curiosity, and the comments were all in unison. "Excuse me, what game is this? It looks very fun. There are even Lu Yuan and Liu Shishi's names. Lu Yuan's record is 0/5. What a bad player. I am dying of laughter."

"I know, the game is called League of Legends. It ranks first in sales in the mobile game list in vivo's app store. It's a very fun game. The gameplay is similar to League of Legends, but simpler. I just didn't expect there would be an advertisement in My Love from the Star."

"Sisters, I downloaded it, but why can't I search for Lu Yuan's name? Did I download it wrong?"

"Sister, I must have changed my name!"

"Oh, I see. Let's play games together from now on. My nickname is Lu Yuan's little wife."

"Pfft, I want to change too. I want to change myself to Lu Yuan's little princess."

"Please call me Lu Yuan's condom."

"Sisters! Latest news! This game is collaborating with My Love from the Star. It seems that there will be heroes or skins for Song Yiren and Professor Chen. Players can vote for them!"

"Vote for the hero! I want to play Lu Yuan!!"

When Jing Tian saw this, she sighed that Senior Brother Lu was really good at marketing.

On the one hand, it used its own popularity to bring huge attention to "My Love from the Star", and on the other hand, the drama secretly implanted advertisements for "League of Legends".

Moreover, by allowing players to vote for new heroes or skins, the game and the drama are linked together, killing two birds with one stone and making a lot of money.

The outside world's understanding of Senior Brother Lu is too superficial.

In addition to being a very talented top actor, his keen business acumen should not be underestimated.

As far as she knows, in addition to "League of Legends", Professor Chen is an alien who has lived on Earth for hundreds of years. He is knowledgeable and has mastered many little life skills.

Therefore, this drama also involves a lot of Chinese cultural elements, including food, tea, barbecue, various calligraphy and paintings, clothing and so on.

Korean dramas drive the Korean Wave, and Senior Brother Lu also hides a lot of things in this idol drama, including his ambition to promote the Korean Wave overseas.

The plot continues to advance.

Professor Chen has excellent hearing and he could no longer tolerate the voice of "Please give Daji your orders", so he came to Song Yiren's house in angrily to argue with her.

Song Yiren knew she was in the wrong, but she still insisted on doing so. When she returned to the bedroom, she burst into tears out of grievance.

Professor Chen, a man who likes to be a womanist, tossed and turned in bed, and thus learned the whole story.

The next day, after Song Yiren's image in the entertainment industry collapsed, in order to restore her image, she was specially recruited by her agency to study at Jiaotong University.

This was just a gimmick, she hardly went to school. After the paparazzi exposed her, she had to go to school honestly due to public pressure, but she unexpectedly found that her history teacher was her neighbor, Professor Chen.

Song Yiren didn't expect to learn anything. She came to school just for the sake of formality. She hoped that Professor Chen would show mercy and give her a chance to live for the sake of their neighbor.

All kinds of cuteness, coquettishness, and aggrieved requests for forgiveness made the audience's hearts melt.

Unfortunately, Professor Chen has been a straight man for hundreds of years and did not buy it at all. Instead, he publicly exposed the fact that her paper on the Ming Dynasty was fake, saying that her paper was copied from CNKI, pieced together, and made no sense.

Song Yiren was curious and asked, "What is CNKI?"

Professor Chen was stunned and had nothing to say.

The reporters blocking the door were collectively dumbfounded. They exaggerated the incident and quickly posted it online, triggering a new round of public opinion storm.

The joke about Song Yiren winning the Nobel Prize in Mathematics hasn’t even gotten over yet, and here comes another one: What is CNKI?

Now, her illiterate nature has been completely confirmed. How could her colleagues in the industry miss this excellent opportunity? They all published articles criticizing her, and Song Yiren was once again caught in the whirlpool of public opinion.

After experiencing the second cyberbullying, Song Yiren got drunk at night and walked into Professor Chen’s house in a daze through the wrong door.

After entering the house, she took off her coat without saying a word and fell drunkenly on the sofa, revealing her beautiful figure and a large area of ​​white skin.

Professor Chen, who had been single for hundreds of years, felt a rare moment of palpitations, and his eyes were at a loss for a moment.

"Hey, why is it gone?"

Jing Tian watched the show with great interest and suddenly realized that two episodes had ended, leaving her feeling a little unsatisfied.

The audience felt similarly, with comments all over the barrage like: "Update quickly." and "Can't wait."

Jing Tian rubbed her eyes, took out her phone to take a picture, and opened Weibo impatiently.

On Weibo, topics related to "My Love from the Star" emerged like mushrooms after rain, quickly climbing to the top of the hot search list.

#《My Love from the Star》starts airing today#
#What kind of game is "League of Kings"#
#You don’t understand Liu Shishi’s happiness——Lu Yuan, the abstinence male god#
#Celebrities support "My Love from the Star"#
#What is CNKI#
#Does the Nobel Prize have a mathematics prize?#
#Stupid Beauty Song Yiren#
Jing Tian casually clicked on the first Weibo post, and a netizen’s comment caught her eye.

“In fact, I don’t really like watching idol dramas, because I like to be serious and always think about the irrationality of those bugs.

But on the recommendation of a friend, I watched the Korean drama "The Heirs", and as expected, I was greatly disappointed.

I have always felt that the plots of idol dramas are too stupid. Why is it that the heroine is always the girl next door, with a low level of education, no career, a poor family, and many shortcomings? Yet, such a character is pursued by a tall, rich and handsome man in the end?

This is totally inconsistent with the logic of reality. The rich are rich, but they are not stupid. They have basic aesthetic sense. They would not choose the young and beautiful opposite sex with superior family background, but choose an ordinary person with fat head and big ears.

What are you picturing?

Is it just that the producers want to please the female group, make it easier for them to be involved and contribute to the ratings?

Isn't this just deceiving yourself?

I didn’t plan to watch “My Love from the Star” at first, but based on my trust in Lu Yuan, I watched the first two episodes anyway.

Obviously, Lu Yuan did not let me down.

Although the heroine Song Yiren has a low level of cultural literacy, she is successful in her career and is a big star.

Such a female character, coupled with the alien male protagonist, two equally matched people falling in love, can completely convince me.

So I think the plot setting of "My Love from the Star" is far superior to "The Heirs"! "

This comment resonated with many netizens, and Jing Tian also expressed her deep agreement.

At the same time, she updated her Weibo status.

"Congratulations to Brother Lu on the launch of his new drama. I watched both episodes on PPS without missing a single second. It's great. The only regret is that the update speed is too slow! @Lu Yuan @Liu Shishi @Liu Xinyou @My Love from the Star."

Jing Tian doesn’t have a good reputation online, but she relies on her looks and believes that beauty is justice, and she has a group of loyal fans.

Netizens affectionately call her Da Tiantian.

"Hey, Tiantian, what's your game rank? I want to be your friend."

"Many celebrities have reposted this drama, including Huang Bo, Wang Baoqiang, Xu Zheng, Zhao Yanzi, Zhu Yawen, Huang Xiaoming, and Hu Quan. They are all big names. It feels like everyone is watching this drama. It is much more popular than The Heirs."

"Of course, don't you see who the lead actor is?"

"It's really good, much better than The Heirs. I originally thought Lee Min Ho was very handsome, but when Professor Chen appeared, he was simply killed instantly. The two are completely not on the same level.

I can only say that it is worthy of the Grand Slam. A simple idol drama role was performed with great layering by Lu Yuan. Professor Chen did not have many expressions, but the occasional look in his eyes was full of vicissitudes. I don't know how to describe it. Maybe this is acting.

Putting aside the acting skills, Lu Yuan's styling this time is also highly praised. It is no exaggeration to describe him as a man of great beauty. And Liu Xinyou, her performance also exceeded my expectations."

Jing Tian was flipping through the comments when her phone vibrated with a new message pushed on Weibo.
