China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 439 A new beginning for Chinese dramas?! Na Zha ascends to heaven on the spot!
[The title of the previous chapter was wrong, it doesn't affect anything, thank you. ]

"She's going to be famous, and she's going to make countless people jealous!"

I watched four episodes of the TV series in a row, and by the time I finished watching them all, I had also finished the action with Guan Ling.

Yang Mi was trembling with excitement at this moment.

Even the voice just now was trembling.

What Yang Mi can feel in this drama is a sense of identity recognition.

Nazha’s role in the film is that of an ordinary person.

He is not the narcotics cop in "Source Code" who can solve the problem single-handedly.

She really represents everyone, like people's next-door sister.

And she is so beautiful that it is unbelievable.
And even when he frowns, people feel a desire to protect him.

Yang Mi didn’t pay much attention to whether the acting was good or not, but the novel time loop in the plot was indeed the first of its kind in a domestic TV series.

Very novel!
Although Yang Mi knew that this drama was the so-called TV version of "Source Code", she did not know the specific content.

But the first episode completely draws people into the plot. With Nazha's explanation, everyone knows that the beginning of the TV series was her sixth time in the dream.

And the first five times, each time ended with a bus explosion.

The second episode is even more explosive, the male protagonist Sun Jian is also passively added to the time loop,
The two analyzed the cause of the explosion but could not come up with a conclusion. They only knew that there was an early warning for the explosion, which was an old cell phone ringtone.

Guan Ling did not change the ringtone of his cell phone, and still used the classic song "Canon" from his previous life.
This piece of music originated from Johann Pachelbel in 1680 and has a long history.

It also has a layer of tension and suspense. The chord progression of the canon in the middle of the instrument is called the Grand Reverse Cycle, which is very pleasant to the ear and has been loved and used by countless composers from the Baroque period to the present.

Although it was only five seconds long, Guan Ling thought the song was very suitable and bought the copyright.

When Yang Mi heard this song for the first time, she didn't react much.

When she realized that this song was related to the explosion, her hair stood on end!

Entering the third episode, the two discovered that the time of their awakening was getting closer and closer to the explosion, and that they would wake up one minute earlier with each cycle.

The police station was also at a loss as to what to do with the parallel universe where the countless explosions occurred.

The explosives could not be found in a short time, so we could only investigate the two men and women who got off the train and talked nonsense.

In the fourth episode, Sun Jian finally starts to demonstrate his gaming genius and admits that he needs to work with Na Zha to solve the problem together.

In this episode, they also confirmed that this was a man-made explosion.

He also called the police in advance. Although the police were confused and had no idea how these two people knew his phone number and name, they still didn't trust them.

After watching four episodes, Yang Mi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After taking a look at the time, she realized that she was so engrossed just now that even though she was humming, she did not give Director Guan enough cooperation.

"I can play this role, too."

Yang Mi turned her head and looked at Guan Ling, revealing her big, kazilan eyes.

Always be ready to provide emotional value.

Guan Ling groaned and continued.

While following Guan Ling's search, Yang Mi was thinking in her heart.

I want to see what the final outcome of this TV series will be.

Guan Ling said that this drama has 15 episodes.

After the first four episodes are aired, new episodes will be updated at the rate of one episode per day. This will encourage more people to increase their membership of iQiyi.

It is impossible to know the specific broadcast status of a TV series in one day.

So Yang Mi continued to be caught up in the emotional entanglement with Guan Ling.

She transformed herself into a Latin man at one moment and Altair at another, butchering an ox for most of the night.

Guan Ling also lay down and let her do whatever she wanted.

……

That night, of course, Yang Mi was not the only one waiting to watch the show. Everyone in the Chinese film and television industry wanted to take a quick look.

The main reason for iQiyi's outage was the excessive influx of traffic in an instant.

The time goes back three hours.

Magic City.

School of Drama.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Dilireba sat in front of the computer early. Also beside her were her two roommates, Yuan Bingyan and Zhong Chuxi.

There were several bottles of Pepsi on the table.

And a ton of snacks.

Three of us bought this together so that we can enjoy a TV series in the dormitory without leaving the house.

Lengba took a bottle and drank most of it regardless of how cold it was.

She has just been in Shanghai Drama Academy for a year and is still taking classes, but her participation in the selection of Yu Ji in "The Banquet" has given her many opportunities to see the world.

There, she met several older sisters, and kept in touch with them at all times and kept an eye on the latest developments in the circle.

Although she has not officially entered the circle, Leng Ba is still quite well-informed about the news. Especially since the school itself is a popular place for gossip, everyone has been looking forward to Guan Ling's new TV series.

Especially for these young girls, Guli Nazha is the focus they are eager to learn.

Speaking of which, Nazha is not in the same class as them, but rather a junior sister.

They are still studying hard in school, but others are already working with Director Guan. The gap is unmistakable!
No one doesn't want this opportunity.
But in their hearts, they are more unwilling.

Why can she do it?
So she was still feeling very restless inside, and drinking a sip of cold Pepsi could make her feel happy.

In order to watch this TV series, Lengba spent twelve yuan to buy a monthly membership.

But she felt it was worth it, after all, this amount of money was not enough to buy movie tickets.

But you can watch a TV series written by Guan Ling.

The winner of the Oscar for Best Director and the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay!

Twelve bucks, it's totally worth it!

"Is the show about to start?"

At about 7:30, Zhong Chuxi asked, and just as he was about to go in, he suddenly found that iQiyi had crashed.

"Damn, are there too many people? The platform has collapsed?" Zhong Chuxi was completely stunned.

“Refresh, refresh. Oh my god, it really crashed?”

Yuan Bingyan originally wanted to give some instructions, but no matter how she refreshed it, the interface nodes of the iQiyi online video website were all left with an ellipsis.

This made the three of them look at each other in bewilderment.

"This Gulinazha is definitely taking off this time..." Zhong Chuxi glanced at the two of them, closed his eyes slightly, and said.

"There are so many people watching this TV series that it can crash the platform. I've never seen this before."

"Director Guan's appeal is too strong." Yuan Bingyan also said embarrassedly, "Even if we let Cheng Long, Jet Li and others to shoot the TV series, it is impossible to make the platform like this."

"It's because those TV series were so popular, especially Awakening. Every time I watched it, I cried. The movie Hidden Corner two years ago even made Sun Honglei my idol."

Di Lieba recalled that when "Awakening Age" swept the country last year, the news about this TV series was everywhere in the school. Their teacher even told them in class that the acting in this kind of red positive energy TV series is a restrained acting.

This kind of acting shows real skill.

"It's even trending on Weibo. It's really collapsed."

After several people checked Weibo, they confirmed that iQiyi had indeed crashed.

But it didn't take long, only about fifteen minutes, to get in.

Although a few people were a little shocked, in fact, with the name Guan Ling, this kind of thing is not surprising at all. Those who know Guan Ling know that it is only because the background function of Weibo is powerful, otherwise Weibo would have crashed when the Oscar for Best Director was won.

A few people were talking and chatting just now, and the TV was slowly turned on in front of everyone.

"Here, melon seeds!"

Dilireba grabbed a handful of melon seeds and handed them to the other two people, and the three of them began to watch the show.

In fact, Dilraba Dilmurat has been looking forward to this TV series starring Guli Nazha for a long time, mainly because Guli Nazha was very popular before, and she seemed to be the campus belle who was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy. Guan Ling had also chosen her for a role before.

But the most important reason is that she is also a beauty from the Western Regions like herself.

There are not many people from the Western Regions in the mainland, so Lengba still feels a natural sense of closeness to them.

As the first episode began, Lengba also fell into a dazed mode of watching the show. She had a habit of hardly being distracted by other things when she was engrossed in it.

The first episode was aired quickly, and Nazha woke up on the bus with a layer of fine beads of sweat on her forehead.

The opening plot was a bit explosive. There was a boy sitting next to her, and when he was trying to help her, he seemed to have accidentally rubbed her chest.

"Catch the gangster, catch the gangster!"

The character played by Nazha started shouting and making a big fuss in the car.

"That's not necessary. This is obviously intentional." Yuan Bingyan raised her eyebrows.

"I think it's quite funny. The beginning is fascinating, but the protagonist's breasts are too small, and there is no intuitive feeling. If I were to play the role, I'm afraid it would be more convincing." Although Zhong Chuxi was very thin, when he puffed out his chest, Yuan Bingyan spat fiercely.

This thing really can't be compared.

Compared to Zhong Chuxi, neither she nor Lengba are as good as others.

Then the plot began to unfold, and as the bus exploded, the three people were stunned.

They all felt a sense of surprise from this TV series.

The two looked at each other and felt each other's hearts pounding.

"Fuck, blow up a bus? What kind of brain circuit is this?"

"After this, will I dare to take public transportation when I go out?"

"This opening is too explosive. 'Source Code' was about blowing up a train, but this is about blowing up a bus." Yuan Bingyan said, "Director Guan is really amazing. Compared to the people who take the train, there are far more people taking the bus. If this thing is made into a TV series, the sense of immersion will be amazing."

"But it was this explosion that made people want to look down."

then,

The plot is getting more and more tense, with a compact structure, clean and bright, and a time loop.
At the beginning, Yuan Bingyan and Zhong Chuxi kept chattering and talking non-stop.

Later, I just kept silent.

Even the melon seeds and cola on the table were untouched.

How to put it, several people feel that a lot of the content in this TV series is both reasonable and unreasonable.

It is true that the time loop format is a novelty, but everyone already roughly understands that the plot brought about by this format is simple yet advanced, clear yet intricate.

Every time she wakes up, Nazha will make some discoveries and breakthroughs about the events based on the original ones.

"That's why she's the heroine. Everything follows her."

Zhong Chuxi sighed secretly.

"It's very advanced. It looks like the bus is just an unrelated box, but the characters inside are intertwined with each other on some level. I guess the next step is to check everyone on the bus."

"The problem is to stop the cycle. This is only true for actors. If I encountered this problem in real life, I would just wait for death."

Yuan Bingyan couldn't put herself in the situation at all and only felt terrified.

"Lengba, what are you doing?"

The two chatted for a while, and looked at Dilireba immersed in emotions.
Not only was she absorbed in the task, she was also gesticulating with her fingers, as if she was calculating something.

The second episode, the third episode, the fourth episode, the TV series was quickly finished.

Dilireba finally reacted and looked at her two roommates.

"Have you counted? Four episodes have been aired, and there are only nine people with lines. This also includes some of the little henchmen during the police interrogation."

“What’s the big deal? Didn’t there not many people working on Source Code before?” Zhong Chuxi didn’t know why Di Lieba was doing this.

"So, the first four episodes of this drama are just the beginning." Dili Lengba said seriously, "The most explosive part of the plot is in the back!"

She was very sure, looking around at her two roommates.

"I have a feeling that the two protagonists now are two extremes of character. Gulinaza plays us, who are still in the ivory tower stage of campus life, with a nature, sense of justice and innocence that has not been polluted by society.

The character of Sun Jian is a bit more complicated. He hesitates about reporting the case and getting off the car. He can be said to be an ordinary adult who thinks twice before acting.

But just like "Source Code", this drama will definitely have its own highlight moments for the male and female protagonists.

I guess they will kill the murderer.”

"You can guess that? You mean the murderer is in the car?"

"Didn't the murderer in Source Code also detonate a bomb in a car?"

After saying this, the three of them fell silent at the same time.

"So what?" Yuan Bingyan was puzzled.

"I guess, when the character's arc and highlight appear, Guli Nazha's status in the entertainment industry may soar at our age!"

Dili Lengba finished speaking.

The entire dormitory suddenly fell silent.

No one knows what the three people are thinking.

But if there was a detector, perhaps it could sense the expectant cries in the hearts of the three people.

"Director Guan, can you choose me?!"

…………

That night.

Countless viewers of "Source Code" have become members, including many who had previously watched pirated movies.

A movie ticket costs forty or fifty yuan, or at least more than thirty yuan.

Some people haven't seen it, but they are still willing to recharge twelve yuan for Guan Ling, even if it is to pay for the movie tickets they owe Guan Ling.

The discussion terms on the Internet also directly swept the Weibo hot search rankings.

[Bombing a bus? Does Guan Ling's new TV series provide criminals with a means of killing? ]

[A new beginning for domestic TV series? "Beginning" creates the first domestic time-loop suspense case! ]

[It's confusing, who is the murderer? ]

[Who is Guli Nazha? 】

No one knew how many people were waiting to watch the TV series that night.

Only iQiyi knows.
Gong Yu has been staying at the iQiyi headquarters. Compared with his previous nervousness, the bet agreement has been signed and the rest depends on fate.

At around twelve o'clock that evening, orders continued to flow into the recharge channel, although the number was small.

But it can be seen that there are still many night owls.

At one o'clock in the morning, the number of members was counted.

"Mr. Gong, it's out. The number of people who have recharged has reached 319 million."

When this data was placed on the desk of iQiyi's CEO, the whole room fell silent.

Naturally, this news could not be stopped, and soon the entire company fell silent.

Then there was a thunderous cheer.
