The Wind of China Entertainment 2005

Chapter 755: Miserable Suffering
After twelve o'clock, a group of people came out of the hotel.

The night is as dark as ink, with a hint of tipsiness in the wind. In the halo of light cast by the street lamps, the shadows of the trees dance lightly in the wind, making bursts of whispers.

Lu Yuan carried a small black backpack on his shoulder and held his drunk girlfriend steadily in one hand.

"Junior brother, let's go back first."

Huang Xiaoming was also hugging a drunkard, but Lu Yuan knew clearly that the other party was pretending. Among these female compatriots, she could drink the most.

"Okay, be safe." He nodded.

Miss Liu staggered, her eyes were blurry, and she waved drunkenly at the neon sign of the hotel.

"Sister Hao, let's continue drinking tomorrow!"

On the curb, Hao Lei, who was retching and supported by her assistant, raised her right arm and shouted, "Cheers!"

"cheers!"

Lu Yuan shook his head helplessly, held down Liu Shishi's arm as she struggled to raise it again, and opened the car door.

"Let me in!"

"Don't touch me, I can walk by myself." She raised a finger and muttered, looking quite arrogant.

"Okay, okay, I won't touch you. I'll just watch you go in, okay?"

"Hmph, watch carefully. First bend over, then take a step. I'm going in."

Lu Yuan took a step back and stretched out his hand to block the door frame, but he underestimated Liu Shishi's speed.

"duang~"

His forehead hit the car door frame squarely.

"Ouch." Liu Shishi covered her forehead with her hands, and her palm-sized face wrinkled into a ball.

Lu Yuan rolled his eyes and pushed her in with disgust.

When Liu Shishi gets drunk, she likes to talk nonsense and make a lot of noise. Once she starts talking, she can't stop. She never stops talking all the way.

Sometimes she snuggled in Lu Yuan's arms and hummed, and sometimes she stuck her head out of the car window like a mentally retarded child.

"Hey, look, there's a traffic policeman ahead, the light is red, are you drunk driving? Hey, how can you keep going even though the light is red? It's getting dark in Guangzhou."

Lu Yuan took out his phone to record a video while pulling her back and closing the car window: "Is it possible that they hired a designated driver?"

"Is the Dai surname so powerful?" Liu Shishi narrowed his eyes, quite confused.

Lu Yuan was choked and thought for a moment before deciding not to bother with this drunkard.

"Whatever you say is right."

"Humph, I'm smart, right? Listen to me from now on and don't call me stupid."

"Yes, yes, you are the smartest, the smartest in the world. I will fly to Harbin tomorrow and then transfer to Beijing. Do you want to go back with me?"

"Whoo~"

After waiting for a long time and hearing no response, Lu Yuan turned his head and saw that he was still making a fuss just now, and now he fell asleep.

On the afternoon of July 2014, 1.

After Lu Yuan finished the day's filming mission, he took a flight to Harbin to meet up with Jiang Wei, Song Jia and others.

"The Cliff" is the opening drama of the new year for the four major satellite TV stations in Heilongjiang, Oriental, Beijing and Zhejiang. He was invited to spend two days visiting the four TV stations before the broadcast.

As for Liu Shishi, she was hiding in the hotel.

These days, Hao Lei is mainly shooting scenes in "Dear", but she is lazy and doesn't want to run back and forth.

The flight from Guangzhou to Harbin took nearly 4 hours. When we got off the plane, the sky was slightly dark.

Lu Yuan changed into his down jacket and was about to walk out of the cabin when he vaguely heard someone calling his name from behind. It was a female voice.

"Lu Yuan?"

"Lu Yuan!"

He turned around and saw that it was an acquaintance, wearing a hat and with a slightly round face.

Looking closely, it was Shu Chang. The two had collaborated on "Magic Phone" in their early years.

"Hey, what a coincidence, what are you doing?"

"It's really you. I didn't dare to shout just now. I thought I saw it wrong." Shu Chang seemed particularly happy: "I came to Harbin to participate in a brand event. What about you? Are you filming in Guangzhou? Were you wearing a costume when you sent your nephew to the airport a few days ago?"

"Yeah, I'm shooting a movie."

Shu Chang didn't ask, but instead asked, "Are you going to promote 'The Cliff'?"

"Yes, there are exclusive interviews on all four TV stations. Let's go over there."

"It's just as I guessed. I wish the ratings of "Cliff" will continue to be a big hit after it starts airing."

"Thank you."

Shu Chang smiled: "After two years, the King of Spy Wars is back and starring in a spy war drama again, which scared everyone."

"It's not that exaggerated."

"Of course not. I just saw the news that Anhui TV had originally scheduled the spy drama "Sharp Arrow" to be broadcast on January 1 as the opening drama of the new year, but two days ago they urgently announced that the broadcast would be postponed to February 4. Isn't it obvious that they are avoiding you?"

"Oh, what's the point of hiding? You make me sound like a monster." Lu Yuan shook his head and chuckled. Seeing that there were reporters following him, he subconsciously raised his hand to lift the mask on his face.

Shu Chang laughed along, feeling emotional in his heart.

During this period at the end of the year, many New Year films were released in the movie market, and public opinion was overwhelming. In comparison, the TV drama market seemed quite deserted.

The reason is simple: the spy drama "The Cliff" starring Lu Yuan will be officially aired in January.

For TV drama practitioners, other dramas starring Lu Yuan can still compete with this one.

The only thing that is not allowed is spy war dramas, which must not be touched.

This guy started his career with "Insidious" and went one step further with "Before Dawn", and has unparalleled appeal in the field of spy warfare.

He is recognized by the outside world as the king of spies!

There are many examples like "Sharp Arrows" that avoid the sharp edge.

Even many non-spy war-type film and television works have chosen to avoid this "monster".

This includes "Beauty of War" in which she starred.

Originally, the producers were thinking of contacting the TV station to make it the opening drama of 2014.

But when he learned that the drama "The Cliff" starring this guy would be broadcast on the four major satellite TV stations after the beginning of the year, he hurriedly scheduled it for the end of December, trying to avoid it if possible.

Lu Yuan glanced at her curiously, "I saw you promoting "Beauty of War" some time ago. How was the result?"

"Uh..." Shu Chang paused, his smile a little forced: "It's not bad."

"Beauty of War" is her first period drama starring role ten years after "The Story of a Noble Family". It is also the only TV series she took part in in 2012.

Unfortunately, although it was many years later than Lu Yuan, the popularity of "Beauty of War" was not high.

As the heroine, she is even less talked about than the male lead.

Seeing her like this, Lu Yuan didn't know what to say. He had advised her when they were filming "Magic Phone", but unfortunately she didn't listen.

The entertainment industry is like rowing against the current. If you don’t move forward, you will fall behind. The old will be replaced by the new.

Some people become famous for no apparent reason, while others suddenly disappear without any warning after being popular for a while. Shu Chang is one of them, and her own choices played a big role in the reason.

As the two walked out of the airport.

Lu Yuan couldn't escape the reporters' "eyes" after all.

You can't blame him for not being cautious.

It is really because the four satellite TV stations and the PPS platform have joined forces to create too much momentum for "The Cliff".

As the premiere date approaches, the popularity of "Cliff" has soared to an "explosive" level.

Take Heilongjiang Satellite TV as an example. In order to promote "The Cliff", it abruptly inserted an advertisement for "The Cliff" at the end of the program when it was broadcasting CCTV's "News Broadcast".

This matter was quickly exposed on the Internet.

However, the director of Heilongjiang TV Center insisted that they were willing to give everything to promote "The Cliff", but the advertisements inserted into the news broadcast must have been a deliberate false accusation, and they would never admit it.

Some viewers are convinced that they saw it, while others swear that they did not.

For a time, the topic of Heilongjiang Satellite TV promoting "The Cliff" caused heated discussion.

In fact, the whole thing was a play directed and performed by Heilongjiang Satellite TV behind the scenes.

The drama "The Cliff" was rated four stars, and the first round of screening rights were jointly won by Heilongjiang Satellite TV, Dragon TV, Beijing Satellite TV, and Zhejiang Satellite TV.

Heilongjiang Satellite TV did this in order to compete for market share with the other three TV stations.

The other three are also unambiguous.

In short, the four TV stations plus the PPS platform, each showing their talents, jointly hyped up the topic of "The King of Spy Wars Returns Again".

"The Cliff" has resounded throughout the entire TV drama industry and has excited countless audiences.

For the media, it is even more exciting than the Chinese New Year.

"The Cliff" was sold to four satellite TV stations, with each episode costing 1000 million yuan, and the total sales price reached a staggering 4 million yuan.

It is unique in the domestic TV drama market, and is the undisputed number one in terms of both single-episode price and total price.

Many journalists rely on this drama for their year-end KPI assessment. As long as the word "Cliff" is written in the title, there will be no worries about traffic.

"Lu Yuan, how does The Cliff compare to Insidious and Before Dawn? Which one do you like better?"

“Both are good and have their own merits, but The Cliff is closer to reality and more cruel.”

"Lu Yuan, the character relationships in The Cliff are questioned to be similar to those in Hidden. What do you think?"

"In fact, the two dramas are not the same. The Cliff is actually about a couple without love. They did not turn the fake play into reality like in The Hidden. The two have always had a gay relationship. Zhou Yi loves his family and knows from the beginning to the end that he is facing someone else's wife and someone else's child."

"How do you view the criticism from some people that you are resting on your laurels?"

"Facts speak louder than words, the truth will be revealed when the show starts!"

"Lu Yuan, can you briefly talk about the challenges of playing the role of Zhou Yi for you? Will "The Cliff" be your final spy drama?"

"."

When reporters rushed forward and surrounded Lu Yuan, Shu Chang was squeezed out of the crowd alive.

"call!"

Dozens of reporters were vying for first-hand information, their faces red and their ears almost forming a pyramid.

Although he was wearing very warm clothes, Shu Chang still felt the biting cold wind when he looked at the scene in front of him, and could not help but tighten his down jacket.

She admitted that she is not as popular now as she was in the past and is not as popular as Lu Yuan.

But "Beauty of War" is still on air after all, so there should be reporters who recognize me.

But the reality is very bleak.

Shu Chang suddenly felt a little regretful, thinking that the decision he made back then might have been wrong.

She thinks she is not bad looking. In terms of her professional ability, she is not that great, but definitely better than Liu Yifei, Yang Mi, Liu Shishi and others.

After all, she became famous at a young age, and the industry competitors she faced were all female seniors who had sophisticated business skills, abundant resources, and even deeper connections.

In terms of national popularity, she has starred in a series of hits, including "The Story of a Noble Family", "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", "The Lotus Lantern" and "Magic Phone". In that era when the Internet was not well developed and there were no smartphones, the ratings and coverage of the TV series she starred in were invincible.

It is no exaggeration to say that before 2010, her popularity among post-80s actresses ranked among the top three.

Unexpectedly, in recent years, her resources have plummeted and her rivals have become people like Yuan Shanshan.

It's ridiculous, how did we end up in this situation?
What would have happened if you had chosen the three major universities?

What would have happened if she had not chosen to contact Lu Yuan and sign with Yuanfang Media in the past two years because of her ridiculous self-esteem, instead of agreeing to Yu Zheng to be affiliated with his studio with a high opinion of herself?
She didn't know and didn't want to think about it.

"Sister Chang, are we waiting for Teacher Lu?" the assistant asked cautiously while carrying a suitcase.

"No need to wait, let's go, I'll send him a message later."

#The Cliff will be aired on satellite TV on the 4th, Lu Yuan and Song Jia play fake couples, lurking for the second time#
#The main creators of "Cliff" reunited with Harbin, Lu Yuan competed with himself#
#Lu Yuan plays the most stylish agent in "The Cliff", and may temporarily leave spy dramas#
#Jiang Wei angrily criticized the current spy war drama market, saying that the atmosphere is very bad, the quality is poor, and the screenwriters ignore the facts and make up stories#
On the evening of January 1, the highly anticipated "The Cliff" finally kicked off on major satellite TV stations.

Two years have passed since the last spy drama "Before Dawn" starring Lu Yuan was broadcast.

Since its preparation, "The Cliff" has attracted the attention of countless audiences, especially when they learned that Lu Yuan would be the leading actor, the audience's expectations soared.

On the night of the premiere, countless viewers prepared their stools and waited obediently in front of their televisions or computers.

They have no worries about the quality of the drama and have a natural trust in it. There is no need to elaborate on what Lu Yuan plus spy war means.

Long Yi, the screenwriter of "The Hidden", is one of them.

He had long since given up any expectations for the domestic spy war drama market, but Lu Yuan as the lead actor was another matter.

After dinner, Long Yi came to the living room and found his wife was watching Heilongjiang Satellite TV.

He is from Hebei and lives in Tianjin, so he was a little confused: "How can I watch this channel?"

"This family is the poorest and the most miserable." The daughter-in-law explained with a smile.

"I read an analysis online. Among the four satellite TV stations that won the first broadcast rights for The Cliff, Heilongjiang has the weakest foundation. Spending 100 million yuan to purchase a drama is undoubtedly a huge investment."

"But Heilongjiang TV has full confidence in Lu Yuan and has gone all out in marketing, investing generously, and even skipping the news broadcast to advertise The Cliff. Considering how much he supports Lu Yuan, I feel as a fan of the professor, I need to contribute my part."

Long Yi scratched his scalp, opened his mouth several times, and finally chose to remain silent.

On the one hand, he felt helpless that his wife, at her old age, was still addicted to "My Love from the Star" and became a fan of the professor, which was simply unbelievable.

On the other hand, he also lamented sincerely that women are indeed emotional creatures and are so easy to fool.

It is obvious that Heilongjiang Satellite TV is playing the victim!
The story of "The Cliff" is set in the turbulent historical period of the puppet state of Manchukuo in Northeast China.

The filming locations were mainly in Harbin, where the cultures of China, Japan and Russia blend.

When shooting, Jiang Wei carefully selected many well-known attractions in Northeast China, such as St. Sophia Cathedral, Red Army Street, and the Madiel Hotel.

If "The Cliff" can be a hit on the screen.

With the help of Lu Yuan's super high popularity, it will undoubtedly become a business card to promote the snow scenery of Northeast China.

What's more, it is winter now and the winter vacation is coming soon.

It is the perfect time to launch a drama full of regional characteristics and historical charm.

Spending 100 million yuan and making a fortune in the tourism industry is a win-win situation no matter how you look at it.
