China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

"To be honest, we reviewers all frowned while reviewing this play."

Gong Yu drank a glass of wine and said cheerfully, "This play is about a man who dresses as a woman, which is indeed interesting, but it seems that many people will find it unacceptable and seems a bit bad taste."

“It’s a bad taste.”

Guan Ling agrees: "Highbrow and lowbrow are originally for entertainment, and everyone has their own preferences. Some people like to go to the cinema to enjoy exquisite art blockbusters, while others open their iPads to watch funny entertainment dramas for fun. Are there many anti-Japanese dramas in recent years? All of them are broadcast on TV stations.

There are always people who enjoy the artistic atmosphere, and there are also people who hope to release their daily stress.

There is no need to exaggerate this.

In promoting this drama, iQiyi does not need to advertise its high quality and culture, because what it sells is sincerity and plenty of laughs, giving the audience the opportunity to enjoy the show and complain.

It's just a mutual consent.

Even "Soul Ferry" is actually probably this type of drama.

Nirvana in Fire and Death in Fire are two extremes.”

Guan Ling explained a few words and Gong Yu understood a little.

"As an online video website, isn't our purpose to attract viewers? Director Guan's approach at least can be accepted by audiences from all walks of life."

"That's what I mean."

Guan Ling also picked up the wine glass, "The ultimate development of online video platforms must be idolization. This is a general trend and cannot be stopped. The occasional "Awakening Age" and "The Ming Dynasty 1566" are not the driving force for the survival of online video websites. On the contrary, it is things like "Mao Pian" that are interesting to watch that can capture more people's hearts. Only by mass shooting and mass production can we attract a large number of people who love to watch dramas. As long as you insert a few classics in between, the audience will notice it and you will not be exhausted to death."

Guo Jingyu also echoed.

"I have some thoughts on what Director Guan said. For example, the TV series I shot, "Dog Beating Stick," will most likely be broadcast on CCTV, or at least on satellite TV. But do young people like to watch this kind of TV series? I don't think so. I mainly attract the older generation.

In today's society, television is basically controlled by the middle-aged and elderly, and children. If I capture them, I may capture a family.

The radiation surface will be large.

Although Zhu Yawen, a friend of Director Guan, is now a relatively influential actor even in the film industry, in terms of national popularity, perhaps more audiences know him because of "Crossing Guandong."

Gong Yu thought about it for a while but couldn't remember who Zhu Yawen was. However, when he talked about "Crossing the Guandong", he immediately recognized the person.

"I understand."

Gong Yu said: "In the final analysis, if people keep watching serious dramas, they will get tired and mentally exhausted."

"Yes."

Guan Ling said: "There are various types of film and television dramas, but as long as the logical structure is reasonable and can justify itself, it is acceptable. This drama is essentially a way for me to promote people. I bet with you that the heroine will become popular because of this drama. Do you believe it?"

"Explosive?" Gong Yu sneered, "I don't really believe it."

"Let's add a jackpot?" Guan Ling said, "If she doesn't become popular, I will give you the exclusive copyright of My Love from the Star."

"What kind of TV series does Director Guan have in mind for "My Love from the Star"? " Gong Yu asked. Just talking about the concept, he was not quite sure what advantages this drama would bring to iQiyi after giving it the exclusive copyright.

"Is 'Awakening Age' very popular? It's probably five times more popular than this drama." Guan Ling made a brief analogy, "Probably. Anyway, there are so many female viewers in China. As long as the drama is popular, they will all watch it obediently."

In the living room.

The air conditioner blew a cool breeze.

But when Guan Ling finished speaking, the entire table fell silent.

Naturally, no one would have any big doubts about what Guan Ling said.

Guan Ling said that she wanted to make someone famous with a low-budget funny web drama, but Gong Yu didn't understand.

However, Gong Yu did not think that Guan Ling would dare to directly define a TV series in front of so many people using the evaluation words "five times better than "Awakening Age"".

Unless, he is really confident!

As the number one Chinese film director, everyone knows how powerful he is in the film market.

But as the president of iQiyi, Gong Yu is well aware of Guan Ling's great reputation in the TV drama industry.

He was just playing around.

But he is so fierce!
Just after Guan Ling finished speaking, a chill penetrated into Gong Yu's neck. Gong Yu shrank his head, and his eyes suddenly turned blood red, and his whole body became hot in an instant.

"Director Guan, your words are quite attractive to me."

"But you may not be able to afford the exclusive broadcast price." Guan Ling said, "My suggestion is that the TV station will help you warm up, and then you can continue to increase the stakes. But if Zhang Tianai can't be popular, I can sell it to you at a slightly lower price."

"We can go with the profit-sharing model." Gong Yu's chair had been moved next to Guan Ling without him noticing, and the coldness just now was gone.

At this moment, he was already sweating and feeling hot.

"Membership fees, advertising fees, I'll share them all with you after negotiating a contract. But don't give this drama to the TV station."

"You want to use this drama to attract new members?" Guan Ling said, "But the popularity of a TV series like this may not be greater than the method I mentioned."

"I have my own way."

"Let's talk about this in detail later. The TV series hasn't even been finished. You haven't told me your winning number yet."

Guan Ling gave a prize, so naturally Gong Yu had to give one too.

"If she really becomes famous, I will arrange two leading roles for her." Gong Yu said, "They have nothing to do with Lingyun Media. After all, I have some resources elsewhere."

"It's a word."

Guan Ling thinks that's fine. Zhang Tianai can be trained slowly. There's no need to rush to give her new or good plays.

Since he has already come to the fore, there is no need for Guan Ling to take care of everything himself.

Speaking of which, Guan Ling suddenly thought of something.

I've been looking up Zhang Tianai's brand recently. I haven't seen her for a long time since the previous film "The Golden House".

During the meal, Guan Ling sent a text message to Zhang Tianai, confirming that Zhang Tianai was in Beijing.

"Wait for me in a few days. I'll contact you then. You can wash in advance."

Guan Ling sent a notice, and then added, "No, you wait for me to take a shower together then."

Zhang Tianai’s reply was unusually simple.

"OK."

A few people chatted for a while.

The cooperation agreement was finalized.

Before leaving.

Gong Yu said: "With Director Guan's promotional suggestions, I will release "Go Princess Go" after two days of promotion. This can be regarded as helping Director Guan to promote the show as soon as possible."

"Hurry up. There will be the premiere of Wild Stories in two days. When the two pieces of news collide, it will be obvious that iQiyi's news will not be able to beat Ning Hao's."

"As soon as possible."

Gong Yu said, "I'll arrange a meeting to deal with it when I get back."

……

On October 2012, 10, iQiyi suddenly announced an unknown new drama.

But after the news came out, many TV producers turned their attention here.

Because this drama was invested by Guan Ling's Lingyun Media, and although most of the actors are newcomers, it still put a lot of pressure on TV producers. Everyone also wants to see what Guan Ling's new TV series is all about.
The screenwriter of this drama is not Guan Ling, but if someone is interested, they will know that the screenwriter actually belongs to Lingyun Media.

The audience may not know, but the industry probably knows that it is actually Ling Yun’s new TV series.

However, iQiyi’s slogan is completely confusing.

"The Rise of Phoenixes", the poverty is magnanimous, the thunder is ecstasy!"

"Suddenly, spring breeze comes overnight, poor, dirty, thunder, lesbian, and BL BG gather together, high-value, funny, sincere work!"

"There are two kinds of bad dramas. One is the anti-Japanese bad drama, which makes people just want to laugh from beginning to end. The other is the drama that makes the audience dazzled and keeps saying hahahahahahahaha, it's poisonous! "Go Princess Go", a TV series that makes people call it poisonous!"

"How does a person become elegant and graceful? "Go Princess Go" will tell you a shocking answer."

"How can actors show off their abs when they don't have time to train them? 'Go Princess Go' will revolutionize the fastest guide to building abs in the entertainment industry."

"'Go Princess Go' is looking for a shampoo ad, our actors' hair is so flowing!"

"We are a cheap web drama, but we will have ancient farce and emotional transformation from a unique perspective, but we can't afford to wear pants and long gowns!"

"Watch "Go Princess Go" and enjoy your poisonous life!"

"Aesthetics revolution? Love revelation? "Go Princess Go" opens a new story full of fun, laughter and troubles, and it is extremely shocking and has its own style."

After these news were released in a overwhelming manner, the audience was stunned.

"How can a poor crew still promote a film these days? What's the point? If it's not a high-quality production, do I want to watch it?"

"How come TV shows and movies have become so shameless these days? Can something shocking and obscene be used as a promotional point?"

"What kind of TV series is this that is called poisonous? But looking at the leading actress, I feel that the appearance of this drama is quite high."

"The crew is asking for advertising for the show? This TV show is absolutely amazing!"

"Being graceful and having abdominal muscles, what kind of drama is "Go Princess Go" that can quickly teach a person these two skills? As a 240-pound man, I really want to learn these two skills."

When iQiyi’s promotion was confusing, many viewers were also surprised.

Later, news came out that this bad movie was a TV series invested by Lingyun Media.

It instantly increased the popularity of this drama!
"Guan Ling just denounced bad movies in the film industry, and the TV series they invested in is about to be a bad movie. Interesting! Is there a fire in Guan Ling's backyard?"

"It's just an investment. This kind of thing should be approved by the TV drama management department. If Guan Ling does everything himself, he will be exhausted. I suspect that this drama is either produced by Guo Jingyu, or the director or deputy director of the TV drama department has the right to decide."

"I want to see how Guan Ling will respond to the fact that he made a bad movie! Thinking about how Guan Ling was so confident before, I want to see how embarrassed he is now."

Lingyun Media Office.

Guo Jingyu was shocked and said, "Director Guan, if you let this rumor spread, it will be bad for your reputation. I can arrange for someone to take the blame and say that it was invested by the subordinates."

"Don't panic, wait a while."

Guan Ling seemed to be unaffected by public opinion, and then said: "I will go to film "Time Traveler" in two days, and the TV department will be handed over to you. I attach great importance to the two dramas "My Love from the Star" and "Unnatural Death".

"Don't worry, I will definitely control it strictly." Guo Jingyu said.

Wait until Guo Jingyu left.

Guan Ling contacted Zhang Tianai. Of course, Guan Ling had read the news on the Internet. Many of the clothes that Zhang Tianai wore in the Rise of Phoenixes really looked like she was poor. Many of the ancient costumes didn't even have sleeves.

Moreover, the skirts reveal two long legs, and it looks like the private parts are just covered by tulle.

The clothes worn by this crew are actually a kind of sexy clothes with a unique style.

"Remember to take your costume with you when the show airs tomorrow night."

This is the content of Guan Ling’s contact with Zhang Tianai.

They naturally understood.

In the afternoon, the entertainment industry was suddenly shocked by a piece of news: Dong Jie's studio publicly issued a statement admitting his divorce from Pan Yueming.

The words were so fierce and fierce that Guan Ling couldn't help but tremble.

Words like gambling addiction, rudeness, and debt-ridden directly pushed Pan Yueming into a desperate situation.

Beat him to death! Beat him to pieces!
Accused of three major crimes, Pan Yueming sent a lawyer's letter in the evening of the same day to refute the slanderous behavior of his studio, and directly attached a lawsuit, taking his agent to court.

Pan Yueming posted on Weibo claiming: Life is like a play, I am Xu Xian who was trapped under Leifeng Pagoda.

Many people who know Pan Yueming feel a little sympathetic.

But at that time, Dong Jie was too popular, with six starring works released last year alone. Pan Yueming, on the other hand, had no future after "The Legend of the New White Snake", and her popularity began to gradually decline.

After seeing the news, Guan Ling couldn't help but applaud.

If I hadn’t learned about Dong Jie’s shocking news from Zhuo Wei before.

In Guan Ling's previous life, he really didn't know the time sequence of these two people.
He only knew that Pan Yueming's injustice in his previous life was finally redressed, but five years had passed.

"Women, when they don't love you, they are really cruel."

Guan Ling couldn't help but be shocked.

Then I thought about others and myself.

This is also the feeling Guan Ling had when Sun Li returned to her family two days ago.

In order to avoid being disgraced in the future like CCTV host Zhu Jun, Guan Ling really needs to take some action now.

From now on, my group of female confidantes will include Liu Yifei, Yang Mi, Fan Bingbing, and a few other very popular ones.

During the picnic, they all had to clock in.

I went to the computer department.

Let them work overtime overnight to make a mobile app that doesn’t need to be put on the shelves, but can be used by themselves.

The app can take photos, fingerprints, and store all the data. You can write your name and the reason for the incident.

The guys in the computer department were very excited because it was the first time they were doing this job for their leader.

It can be done in one day.

The next evening, "The Rise of Phoenixes" was broadcast, and the number of people online broke the highest number in iQiyi in the past six months.

Those who like Ling Yun, those who don’t like Ling Yun, as well as a bunch of people who were deceived by the marketing account’s slogans, all started to watch.

The first episode was confusing.

"A man traveled through time and space and became a woman? Holy shit! This is too outrageous!"

So cool.

Monitoring the background, Gong Yu looked at the rising number of people in the background, smiled speechlessly, and sighed.

"I am not the biological father of iQiyi, Director Guan is."

And in Zhang Tianai's residence, Guan Ling appeared.

Looking at the Crown Princess's appearance, Guan Ling suppressed his excitement and opened an APP on his phone.

"Please clock in first. Write down that you agree to us doing this."

"Xing agrees."
