Poverty alleviation variety show goes to the countryside, my talent can no longer be hidden

Chapter 76 Do you know what this means?

As soon as the silhouette photo was released, there was unsurprisingly another round of heated discussion in the comment section.

Since he is the second male lead, and in a web drama at that, everyone consciously downgraded the actor's status to beyond the third line, and even quickly started to move towards the eighteenth line.

For such a small web drama, it must have taken a lot of effort to invite Guo Chen to appear in it, and more than half of the salary budget must have been used up. The remaining actors must have been valued for money!
Either he is an outdated star or a cheap newcomer, in any case he can't be a big name!
As a result, all kinds of speculations emerged like mushrooms after rain, and the entire commentary almost became a roster of male stars in the Chinese entertainment industry.

During this period, it's not that no one has noticed that this silhouette actually looks a bit like Zhang Yunfeng, but when you think of the double debuff of the web drama + the second male lead, this ridiculous guess immediately disappears.

Unless there is a gun pointed at his head, I can't think of any reason why such a dignified movie emperor would accept the second male lead role in this web drama.

And at this moment when everyone was talking about this, an "uninvited guest" suddenly appeared and stole all the attention in an instant!
Tianyun Culture, a new star in the drama circle, suddenly announced that it would enter the online drama market, and directly announced its new work "The Legend of Yunlan" which had just been launched. It will choose Youying Video, one of the three major streaming media companies, as the distribution platform.

The operation of this crew was much simpler and more crude, and they came out directly with a big poster and a big slogan - an S-level project fully supported by Youying, with an estimated production cost of over 2 million!
As soon as this slogan came out, the whole Internet was in an uproar!
The production costs of film and television dramas have indeed expanded rapidly these days, but online dramas, which have always been trapped in the vicious circle of "shoddy production", have not enjoyed much benefits. An online drama with a cost of tens of millions can already be declared a "big production"!

But this time, "Legend of Yunlan" shouted out the slogan of "2 million" cost right from the start, which is equivalent to directly jumping from a small Xiali to a Ferrari. The span is so huge that it makes people dizzy.

The force was so strong that bricks flew everywhere. This most intuitive and explosive data impact was better than any fancy moves and easily attracted everyone's attention.

Various online media and self-media accounts began to swarm and report on the news. Anyone who missed this kind of news that comes with its own eye-catching special effects would be a fool!
Onlookers and passers-by also rushed to the scene to watch, adding fuel to the heat.

"Day and Night"?
Not familiar, really unfamiliar.

In less than an hour, #《云澜传》# ranked fifth on the hot search list, with great momentum.

In line with this wave of hot searches, the official Weibo accounts of "The Legend of Yunlan" and Youying simultaneously announced the two leading actors.

The heroine Zhu Jingyi is a popular young actress who debuted in a girl group and a standard product of medical beauty technology.

She has no acting skills, but as long as any female star dares to appear in the same frame with her, there will be overwhelming press releases saying she is "outshining" her in minutes.

As a rising star in the same field, Lin Xina has been beaten to a pulp.

The male lead, Lee Hyo-jun, debuted in a boy band with the nickname Giegie, and even changed his name to sound like kimchi.

Although he has no representative works in the drama industry, various secondary creative clips of his "amazing acting skills" have been flying all over the Internet. Fans call him "the most scarce all-round artist in the Chinese entertainment industry."

The configuration of two top-tier stars directly boosted the expectations of the fan circle.

Thanks to the crazy efforts of the female data workers, #《云澜传》# successfully ranked among the top 3 hot searches!

Passersby were amazed at the generosity of Tianyun Culture, while industry insiders and sharp-eyed spectators had already smelled a hint of hidden gunpowder.

The release time of "The Legend of Yunlan" was chosen directly during the warm-up period of "Day and Night Chase".

"White Night Chase" was squeezing out the starring lineup, and "The Legend of Yunlan" directly revealed the double top-tier lineup...

Is this wave of popularity a coincidence?
Ah.

But in any case, it shows that new hot money has flowed into the online drama circle.

Tear it up, it’s fun when you tear it up!
Thanks to this uninvited guest, the originally bustling official Weibo of "Day and Night Chase" suddenly became deserted, and even a lot of discordant voices appeared in the comment section.

"I like playing guessing games. Are you comfortable now?"

"After pretending for so long, someone slapped me in the face. Do you feel good?"

"You guys are worthy of calling yourself a revolutionary web series? Look at what others have done!"

"I'll tell you a number - 2 million!"

"Invite a bunch of outdated and crappy actors and treat them as treasures, just wait for them to flop!"

"..."

However, the official Weibo account of "Day and Night Chase" remained unusually calm throughout the entire process. It neither controlled the comments nor responded, as if it had seen nothing.

At 10 o'clock that evening, the official Weibo account updated the news on time.

When I saw Zhang Yunfeng’s photo, I couldn’t tell how many eyeballs were shattered in an instant!
Damn it!
Many people even thought that there was a bug in their phones and that the photos were mixed up with other news photos!
Close Weibo, clear the background, and reopen it to see...

The photo remained motionless, but the comment section exploded.

"??????"

"Am I still asleep?" "Operator, do you want to check what you posted? It's not too late to withdraw it now!"

"Uncle Yun, if you're kidnapped, just blink!"

"A movie star plays the second male lead in a web drama? Teacher Zhang, are you crazy?!"

……

"I'm not crazy."

Zhang Yunfeng stroked the walnut in his hand and smiled calmly.

"But I'm going crazy!" The agent on the opposite side had his eyebrows almost connected into a straight line.

"In half a day, the company has called me more than a dozen times, asking me for an explanation!"

"Now even your fan club is starting to demand an explanation, and the management can hardly keep it under control!"

"Not to mention them, even I don't understand why you took this role!"

"When you wanted to take on this web series, the company already expressed opposition, but you said you liked the script and the role. OK, I understand and support you, and I can help you lobby for it."

"But the male lead is my bottom line! This is just an online drama, not a mainstream drama. Have you ever thought about the consequences of playing the male lead? I..."

Zhang Yunfeng smiled and handed over a bottle of water. "Drink some water and calm down. You're already a little incoherent."

"Drink shit!" The manager slammed the water bottle down and said, "Zhang Yunfeng, once your status drops, it's very hard to raise it again. Do you understand that?"

Zhang Yunfeng picked up the water bottle, unscrewed the lid and took two sips.

"Sister Hua, what do actors at my level pursue?"

The agent was stunned.

"Money? I have enough. Even if I retire now, as long as I don't squander money, I can live the rest of my life without worries about food and clothing."

"What I am pursuing now is nothing more than fame - to make more good movies, play more memorable roles, and leave my mark in the history of Chinese entertainment."

"But." Zhang Yunfeng looked up at his agent, "How long can this kind of reputation last?"

"Ten or twenty years, no problem. Thirty or fifty years may be OK, but what about a hundred years from now?"

“By that time, perhaps even movies as a form of entertainment have been updated and eliminated. How many people will be willing to dig out the current movies from the garbage dump and review and appreciate them?”

"Sister Hua, Chinese civilization has lasted for 5,000 years without interruption. What did it rely on for its inheritance?"

Without waiting for his agent to speak, he answered himself: "It's text!"

“No matter how the world changes, words will never be eliminated by history. It was like this before, it is like this now, and it will remain like this in the future!”

"And what I got in exchange for this second male lead might be an opportunity to become famous for hundreds or even thousands of years!"

"As long as Chinese civilization is not eradicated and Chinese characters are not eliminated, my name will probably be mentioned again and again by future generations!"

"Sister Hua, do you know what this means?"

…………

At nine o'clock the next morning, Zhang Yunfeng updated his personal Weibo status.

The copy only has one sentence - thank you Teacher Zhou, I feel unworthy of this gift, and I would like to offer this to all my colleagues to encourage each other.

There is a picture below, with a faint plum blossom pattern printed on a white background.

"Bu Suan Zi: Ode to Plum Blossoms - Presented to Zhang Yunfeng"

Outside the house, beside the broken bridge, the flowers are blooming lonely and ownerless. It is already dusk and I am alone and sad, and the wind and rain make it worse.

I have no intention of struggling for spring, I just let the flowers be jealous. They fall into the mud and turn into dust, but the fragrance remains the same.

BOOM! ! !
