Full-time actor

Chapter 230 [57] Lao Mouzi!

"Just 10 minutes after the third episode aired today, the regional ratings jumped by 5%!"

“Brother, it’s been 10 minutes, it’s gone up by 5%!”

Yesterday, the average ratings of "Conquest" in the Imperial City area was 2% at the end of the second episode. This sudden increase of 7.98% is indeed very scary.

"The ban on "Toward a Republic" has had a huge impact on our ratings!"

"Besides, I watched the new drama that Yang Yi took over. No, it should have been transferred to our Imperial Channel!"

how to say!

Audiences who are used to watching the main dramas of Yang 1 will definitely choose "Conquer" first when they watch TV dramas such as "Golden Dust" from the Republic of China, and it is about to reach the finale!

Because the audience who watch love affairs are not the same people who watch history and official circles.

The majority of the former are women, while the latter's main movie-watching group is men.

Therefore, it is inevitable that the ratings will explode.

"The average 10-minute ratings reached 12.98%. I guess it will increase even more today!"

It also takes time to convert the Central 1 audience, and the regional ratings of 12.98% have obviously met the minimum ratings requirements for popular dramas.

You must know that this is only the third episode. Two years ago, Gao Qunshu's "Thirteen Murder Cases" was rated as one of the top ten popular TV series in the imperial capital of the year. Its average regional ratings were 16%!

Not surprisingly, "Conquest" can achieve this data, or even... better.

"It will be broadcast in Tianjin and Hebei in two days!"

"Keep up this momentum and you will definitely become popular!"

It's not like Gao Qunshu hasn't browsed online discussions in the past few days. In addition to "Jin Fen Family", more and more netizens are talking about "Conquest".

Especially for Chen Yu's post, many people didn't believe it at first. Liu Chunjiang and Liu Huaqiang were actually played by the same actor.

It wasn't until they saw the cast list that they realized for the first time that one actor could actually handle two such contrasting roles.

One is a handsome young man who studied abroad from a family of the Republic of China; the other is a modern underworld boss full of murderous intent!

"This actor named Chen Yu has great acting skills!"

"You're kidding, I just won the Best Actor Award in Berlin this year!"

"Huh? No way? Is it him?"

"Damn, that's awesome!"

"..."

For a time, countless netizens were a little stupid; it was not that many of them had never heard of Chen Yu's name, but they had never thought of going together. Now that it was revealed, many people were completely dumbfounded.

Chen Yu's popularity on the Internet has obviously increased in recent days, and he is on the verge of surpassing Liu Yifei.

The most important thing is that as the finale of "The Golden Family" approaches, Liu Chunjiang's role as a love-struck man is becoming more and more popular with many female viewers; as for "Conquest", it is more male viewers.

The former is interested in looks, while the latter is interested in acting skills and roles.

Chen Yuda has a killing stance, but Bai Xiuzhu, who only has male fans, is obviously weaker.

"You have obviously posted more posts than me these days!"

Although it has not reached the popularity of Chen Kun and Dong Jie, almost everyone, not just Liu Yifei, knows that Chen Yu's popularity is starting to increase little by little.

"Finally there are signs of fire!"

Do you know how long I have been waiting for this day?

More than twenty years!

It took me more than twenty years to wait for this opportunity.

Chen Yudu felt a little emotional.

Even if he won Best Supporting Actor in the Golden Rooster in his previous life, his number of online fans could only be described as negligible; and in this life, he won the Best Actor in Berlin, but he is still in an embarrassing situation of being famous but not popular.

Many people have never heard of the name Chen Yu, and even if they have, they have no idea who he is or what he looks like.

Only now, many netizens have begun to compare.

Then many people discovered that Chen Yu was so young and handsome?

Many people thought he was at least in his twenties, or even in his thirties.

“Let it ferment!”

"It's my turn too!"

Chen Yu was also reading the posts on the Internet. The 24th episode of "Jin Fen Family" has been aired. Xiao Lian became a nun. Countless people no longer paid attention to Jin Yanxi and Leng Qingqiu, but began to pity Liu Chunjiang and Xiao Lian. .

Whether these two maids and young masters who break traditional customs can eventually be together is something many people want to know.

"Still maintaining an average ratings of 9%!"

The ratings of "The Family" are still strong after yesterday's wedding; and after "Conquer" aired 3 or 4 episodes, the national average ratings have soared to 1.76%, and the regional ratings have surged to 15.7%, which is higher than yesterday Ratings more than doubled in the region.

Among them, the ban on "Toward a Republic" played an important role.

If TV dramas across the country now have a real-time popularity ranking like Maoyan in later generations, Chen Yu believes that his two dramas will definitely rank first and second.

"Golden Dust" and "Conquer" should be among the top two TV series in the country in terms of ratings.

There is no one who can fight.

Moreover, they are not the ordinary top two, but have a gap in ratings; the third place, "Good Father, Good Mother", which has just been taken over by Yang 1, is not a match for these two dramas at all.

After all, it has gone through the test of thousands of TV series in previous lives, and "Conquest" is still a hit twenty years later. It is no wonder that the ratings are not low.

Many TV series had high ratings at the time, but the audience forgot about them after they were broadcast.

Chen Yu is currently filming "Towards Happiness".

When this drama was aired in its previous life, it was the ratings champion; but a few years later, who still remembers it?

But "The Family" is different from "Conquer", especially "Conquer", which is purely supported by the character of Liu Huaqiang. The TV series has been broadcast over and over again and has become a classic.

"I wonder if the DVD of "Conquest" in Imperial City will be sold out tomorrow!"

Sure enough, Chen Yu's prediction was accurate.

On the second day of the broadcast, more people bought the "Conquer" DVD at various video stores in the Imperial City, ten or twenty times more than usual. Many viewers still hadn't watched the first and second episodes.

This should be what Yang 1 transferred to "Conquest".

After all, "Toward a Republic" was still on the air the day before yesterday. After it was banned, these people switched channels and saw "Conquest".

They started watching the third and fourth episodes yesterday. Since there are DVDs on the market, they must buy them and watch 1-2 episodes before finishing the whole episode.

"I estimate that one or two thousand sets will be sold in Imperial Capital today!"

Chen Peidong was talking excitedly to Chen Yu on the phone, but Chen Yu seemed very calm, and then he started to explode.

After it is broadcast in Tianjin and Hebei, it will be called a big hit, and the DVD market will blossom directly. It is not a problem to sell tens of thousands of units nationwide in a single day.

In the previous life, "Conquest" sold hundreds of thousands. If it goes well in this life, it is estimated that it can reach one million, which is tens of millions in revenue; these days, we must not underestimate the audio and video market, even if piracy is rampant, domestic Various video stores are also doing booming business.

The foreign audio and video business is even more terrifying.

Just one of Jet Li's movies can earn tens of millions of dollars just by selling the discs.

Some people in later generations have made statistics. Adding up all of Jet Li's works, the DVDs have sold at least 5 million, and that's still in US dollars.

Take "Baywatch" as an example. The film's global box office was only US$4068 million, but its DVD sales in North America reached US$7950 million; not to mention that it also has several home markets in China, Europe, Japan, and South Korea.

This is just one.

You know, Cheng Long doesn't have such a strong video sales ability; so from this point of view, Jet Li's ability to make money in Hollywood exceeds that of Cheng Long.

What makes Cheng Long awesome is his influence.

"The number of DVDs has blossomed!"

After Chen Yu finished filming today's scene in "Walking Through Happiness", he drove towards the New Picture Film and Television Company where he had made an appointment with Jiang Zhiqiang yesterday.

……

At this time, Jiang Zhiqiang happened to be sitting in the conference room of New Picture Pictures.

Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping were also there.

They are confirming the main roles of "House of Flying Daggers". Although Zhang Yimou has already greeted various actors in the early stage, only two have been officially signed.

Zhang Ziyi and Mei Yanfang.

This is the second time Lao Mouzi has chosen an actress from Xiangjiang to star, and he has said in front of media cameras more than once that he admires Mei Yanfang's acting skills and person very much, so he has always wanted to collaborate with her.

Now, finally the opportunity has come.

Of course, Jiang Zhiqiang also contributed to this. After all, his relationship with Mei Yanfang lies there.

As for the two leading male actors, Lao Mouzi has also selected the candidates - Andy Lau and Jin Chengwu, and has called them and their agents. Both parties said they have schedules and are looking forward to cooperating with him.

"Then sign it!"

"Sign up a few leading actors as soon as possible, and we can make arrangements to start filming!"

Zhang Weiping was talking with a pipe in his mouth.

Jiang Zhiqiang had no objection: "Yes, I think it's no problem!"

"Let me mention something!"

Zhang Yimou suddenly stretched out his finger: "Jin Chengwu's agent called me a few days ago and said that after reading the script, there are several places that need to be changed!"

"Change the script?"

Jiang Zhiqiang looked at his assistant next to him. His assistant was responsible for translating into Mandarin. Lao Mouzi and Zhang Weiping sometimes couldn't understand.

"Yes, Jin Chengwu's agent said that he was thrown while riding a horse when he was a child, so try not to have any scenes of him riding a horse!"

"what?"

Zhang Weiping frowned: "Is there such a thing?"

"There are a lot of horse riding scenes in this drama!"

Although Zhang Weiping didn't know much about filming, he had nothing to do and finished reading the script of "House of Flying Daggers".

"Yes, what I mean is that you agree verbally first, and then when you get to the set, you have to do it even if you don't want to, right?"

Lao Mouzi was smiling there, and the wrinkles on his face became deeper and deeper.

"Isn't this...not good?"

Jiang Zhiqiang is opposed to this kind of deceptive filming. Anyway, it will definitely not be like this in Xiangjiang. At most, it will be kidnapping and holding a gun against him. However, it is often heard in the mainland that the filming is completely inconsistent with the original agreement, and many actors in Xiangjiang have complained.

It's not that they are not dedicated, but the mainland is so much more comfortable than Xiangjiang, which makes them think people are stupid, have a lot of money, and can occasionally play big names.

Isn’t this temper just coming up?

These days, the word actor in Xiangjiang means that he is superior to others in the mainland; what's more, Jin Chengwu is not an actor in Xiangjiang, he is Japanese, so he is even more superior.

"fine!"

"Can't you overcome this difficulty?"

Lao Mouzi didn't take this kind of thing seriously at all, and Jiang Zhiqiang could only smile and said nothing.

"Then I'll notify them soon and ask their agent to come over and sign the contract!"

"Did Jiang Shengqian have a date?"

Zhang Yimou heard Jiang Zhiqiang mention it just now.

"Yes, the investors of "The Blind Shaft", do you want to meet?"

""The Blind Shaft"?"

This film is very familiar to Lao Mouzi.

Damn, "Hero", the big winner at the Berlin Film Festival, became a foil. At least it was not ridiculed by a bunch of domestic media at that time; during that time, the screen was full of "Hero" winning the consolation prize, "The Blind Shaft" 》The title of The Last Laugh.

Lao Mouzi was so angry that his lungs exploded.

"Okay, let's meet!"

"Look at who it is. It seems that none of the investors of the film festival are here? I just saw Chen Yu and that director!"

Lao Mouzi was deeply impressed by Chen Yu.

He also went to see the premiere of "The Blind Shaft" at that time. Chen Yu's role in that movie really made him think a lot.

It's a pity that after winning the Best Actor, there was still no splash in the country.

"Reaching soon!"

"I'll have someone greet you at the elevator entrance!"

As Jiang Zhiqiang spoke, he was about to ask his assistant to go out, but Lao Mouzi waved his hand: "Xiao Pang, go down and pick up someone. What's his name?"

"I didn't ask, I asked him to come directly to the 9th floor!"

"Then go to the elevator!"

Lao Mouzi spoke directly to a female assistant not far away.

The female assistant was quite pretty. After hearing what Lao Mouzi said, she immediately walked towards the elevator.
