Unscientific Movie King

Chapter 194 A Small Goal Completed
Dramas about the Qing Dynasty palace are not rare these days, but they are not common either. There are just relatively few that are successful. In the public's impression, there are no more than two types of dramas about the Qing Dynasty palace.

One is the political scheming that is more inclined towards the mind of the emperor like the Kangxi Dynasty, and the other is the relaxed and comfortable way like the iron-toothed and bronze-jawed Ji Xiaolan.

As for the type of "My Fair Princess", no one has thought about it, because it is unique and no one can copy it.

This kind of phenomenal TV series may not be released for several years.

The trailer of "Startling by Each Step" doesn't quite reveal the style of the drama, but because Qin Chuan is the lead actor, many fans are willing to pay for it, and many media are paying attention to it.

Coupled with the fact that the nice theme song was composed by Qin Chuan, this drama, which has not yet been aired, is highly anticipated.

As the son of Xiangnan TV and an artist of Tianyu Media, Qin Chuan has not been idle during this period. He used his influence to ask Long Danni to arrange an episode of Happy Camp for Xiangnan TV.

On the stage, Qin Chuan and Liu Sisi stood in the middle. At the beginning of the show, Liu Sisi opened with the song Three Inch Paradise.

Standing on the side are the other leading actors of Startling by Each Step, Lin Gengxin, Yuan Hong and others.

Although they were standing on the sidelines, they were both equally excited.

As the most popular variety show in China, it is not easy to get on Happy Camp and you have to wait in line.

Most people want to be on Kuaiben, but there is no way for them to do so.

If you have connections, you should make an appointment and communicate with the station at least two months in advance. They will consider letting you queue up after seeing whether you are qualified.

There are only a few people like Qin Chuan who can start recording in just a few days after just one call.

At least their boss Cai Yinong doesn’t have the ability or presence to be on Kuaiben at any time.

"Hello everyone, I'm Qin Chuan, and this time in Startling by Each Step I Play I'm the Fourth Master."

"Hello everyone, I'm Liu Sisi, and I play Maertai Ruoxi in Startling by Each Step."

"Hello everyone……"

On the stage, everyone introduced themselves one by one.

Afterwards, the host He Ling brought up the topic at the right time and led everyone in the chat.

After chatting, it was time for games.

I have to say that the games on Shonan TV are really tacky, at least that's what Qin Chuan thinks.

Games like I am undercover, guessing riddles, and grabbing stools are all old-fashioned games.

However, due to the times, the audience enjoyed watching it.

Qin Chuan and others spent half a day recording the more than one hour content. In the evening, He Ling also arranged a dinner party to entertain everyone.

"Waiter, Checkout."

"Teacher Qin, Teacher He has already bought it."

"Teacher He, you are so sorry."

"We're all family, you're welcome. This time it's on me, next time it's your treat."

After the meal, Qin Chuan wanted to pay the bill, but found that He Ling had already paid the bill.

She said that he would treat her next time, but in Qin Chuan's memory, it seemed that he never spent any money when eating during the program he recorded on Xiangnan TV.

Sometimes it was He Ling who paid the bill, sometimes it was Wang Han, sometimes it was Long Danni, and other leaders in the station.

This episode of Happy Camp was recorded on Tuesday. In order to rush Qin Chuan's work and promote "Scarlet Heart", the station temporarily let him jump the queue and chose to air it on Saturday this week at 7:35 pm.

I can only say that it is worthy of being the most popular and highest-rated variety show in the country.

After the variety show was broadcast that evening, Liu Sisi's popularity immediately soared, and her Weibo fans increased by hundreds of thousands overnight.

As of now, she has five million fans.

A large part of them were accumulated from The Legend of Sword and Fairy III and Myth.

"At first listen, this song is good. At first glance, Liu Sisi is singing and she is beautiful. Then, I see that Qin Chuan wrote the lyrics and composed the music, so I am not surprised."

"If this continues, our Sisi will soon become a professional singer."

“One song is better than the other.”

“Anything Sisi produces must be high-quality.”

"Sisters, keep pushing the charts, it will soon be number one on the new song chart."

"Qin Chuan is such a jerk. He doesn't release any new songs himself, but keeps writing for others. It's fine if you write, but why don't you write more? What's the point of one song a year?"

"There must be some story between these two people. They both wrote two songs for Liu Sisi. Others don't get this treatment."

"If the brother above says so, then Phoenix Legend and Li Yugang have something to say. Qin Chuan has also written about them."

"Don't make rumors, don't spread rumors, our brother Chuan is single."

"Lawyer's letter of warning."

On Saturday night, Happy Camp was broadcast, and the ratings for this episode easily exceeded 3.

The next day, Startling by Each Step was broadcast.

In the first episode, Zhang Xiao is well versed in the history of the Qing Dynasty. He was originally a white-collar worker in a prosperous city. However, he stepped into empty air and traveled through the tunnel of time and space. He transformed into a Qing Dynasty girl, Maertai Ruoxi, and entered the palace where the situation was changing rapidly.

In the second episode, she has just arrived at the Qing court and has a flamboyant personality. Her words and actions are not as conservative and gentle as those of ancient women. Instead, she is bold and generous. She quarrels with princes and fights with princesses.

The audience thought that "Startling by Each Step" was a serious Qing Dynasty drama, but they didn't expect it to start with a time travel story.

Unexpectedly, everyone liked this kind of plot.

On the first day of the broadcast of "Startling by Each Step", the ratings exceeded 4.

Cai Yinong didn't sleep all night, waiting for the ratings to come out. She breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that the ratings on the first day exceeded 4. Then she went to the official Weibo of "Startling by Each Step" and the Weibo of Qin Chuan and Liu Sisi to read the audience feedback.

"Sisi is so beautiful."

"A natural saint in ancient costume, so beautiful."

"The last time I liked Sisi this much was when I was with Long Kui."

"I like this kind of Maertai Ruoxi, so interesting."

"She feels a bit like Xiaoyanzi, fearless, but prettier than Xiaoyanzi."

"As expected of a professional actor in period costume dramas, Qin Chuan's period dramas are superb. His words and actions are very much like those of ancient people. He is handsome and has good acting skills. The Fourth Master he plays appears calm on the surface, but his subtle expressions and eyes reveal his inner changes."

"Have you noticed that Liu Sisi's acting skills have improved a lot in this drama?"

"I noticed it too. Did Sisi sign up for an acting training class?"

The audience feedback for "Startling by Each Step" on the first day was very good, with most of the reviews being positive, and only a few being negative, and some even making personal attacks. Cai Yinong automatically ignored these netizens.

She noticed that many netizens said that Liu Sisi's acting skills had improved.

She also agreed with this statement.

The reason for this feeling is actually mainly because this time, Liu Sisi has more roles, more room to perform, and a full character.

Whether it was Long Kui or Mu Nianci that Liu Sisi played in the past, due to the small number of roles, she didn’t have many opportunities to perform.

As the leading actress this time, she has a lot of room to show her talents. Qin Chuan, Li Guoli and others are also there to give her hands-on guidance on the set. It would be strange if she doesn't see any improvement.

When "The Strange Hero Yizhimei" is broadcast, the audience will definitely be surprised. In that drama, Liu Sisi has made great progress visibly.

No longer a soft character like Maertai Ruoxi.

One day, two days, three days...

As "Startling by Each Step" was broadcast, the ratings continued to rise, breaking 5 or 6 became commonplace.

Liu Sisi’s Weibo followers were increasing rapidly every day, reaching tens of millions in just one week.

It can be said that she became a hit with this play and her popularity increased greatly.

Among third-tier actors, they are considered relatively popular.

She receives endless notices every day, and many products ask her to endorse them.

It is generally recognized that actresses have better money-making ability than actors. They can endorse skirts, cosmetics, bags, and jewelry, which male actors cannot do.

Liu Sisi is busy, and Qin Chuan is also busy.

Busy editing Lost on Journey.

He doesn't understand editing, he just spends every day in the editing room, discussing with the editor which clips are needed and which are not.

As a director, Qin Chuan naturally hopes to keep every frame, but this is impossible.

The total duration of Lost on Journey is now more than two hours.

There are no movies this long.

The standard time is ninety minutes, which is one and a half hours.

If it’s too long, the audience will lose their patience and will easily have to go to the toilet after watching it.

It took half a month to edit the first version, which was one hour and fifty minutes long.

Continue editing.

Another half month passed, and the second edition was ten minutes shorter.

The third edition, continue cutting.

Qin Chuan felt heartbroken every time a shot was missing.

By the time the one and a half hour version came out, it was already May.

After watching the play several times to make sure the main gags, jokes, rhythm and famous scenes were still there, Qin Chuan summoned the leading actors to do the dubbing.

The main actors are him and Wang Baoqiang.

Before dubbing, Wang Baoqiang sat down and watched the finished film, laughing with joy.

The two of them dubbed more than ten scenes a day, and they had finished most of them in more than ten days.

At the same time, when they were dubbing, the sound engineer also came on stage.

Its function is to simulate any sound in the film except the character dialogue, such as footsteps, door opening, car horns, car crashes, clothes friction, farts, teeth grinding, etc.

In June, Qin Chuan finally got a rest after finishing his busy work.

After returning to Beijing, I thought I would see Liu Sisi, but I didn't see her for several days. I asked her and found out that Liu Sisi's Strange Hero Yizhimei was also broadcast. She is very popular now. She is either on variety shows or TV shows every day, and she has endless work.

Qin Dynasty Entertainment, President's Office.

Qin Chuan sat in the boss's chair, quietly looking through the cash flow and bills for the first half of the year.

Not to mention the developed entertainment industry, the income from music alone is enough to offset the money he invested in the TV series.

In terms of TV drama investment, except for Huang Bo's Bullfighting which lost money, the others all made money.

Especially "Scarlet Heart", which sold the second and third round copyrights. It has many stars in one drama and is extremely popular.

Even South Korea and Southeast Asia are buying the copyrights. Liu Sisi has really become popular.

The hit of "The Strange Hero Yizhimei" also brought her career to a new level.

In just half a year, two hit dramas were aired, which now squeezed into the second-tier ranks.

Ninety percent of actresses are just outside the third tier, and those who are luckier can enter the third tier.

Not many people can enter the second tier, so luck and strength are very important.

Liu Sisi now has a bit of the flavor of Liu Yifei back then. She became famous very quickly. The series of hit dramas directly made her rise to the top and reached a peak that many actors could hardly reach.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

"Enter!"

Someone knocked on the door, and Qin Chuan said without raising his head.

The person who came in was Wang Tingting. After becoming the vice president, she always dressed like an office lady. This time it was a summer suit, with a white shirt on top, a black skirt, black stockings, and high heels.

Her hair was permed and dyed into curly, wavy brown, and she wore a pair of glasses on her face.

She held a document in her hand and said with a smile, "Boss, this is the company's revenue that you asked me to calculate. The sequels of "Scarlet Heart", "Bullfighting", and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" are all included. It's about right."

Qin Chuan raised his head and looked at Wang Tingting for a few times: "She looks a bit like Mr. Mikami."

Don't tell me, it really looks like it.

A small nose, big eyes, straight long legs and a chubby chest.

A perfect workplace series.

The only thing missing is a husband who is on a business trip with the same company.

Wang Tingting tilted her head and said, "The heroine of the porn movie?"

“Ahem.” Qin Chuan was embarrassed. He almost forgot that the person in front of him was also an experienced person who knew more than him. “No, it’s a foreign language teacher I found online a few days ago.”

"Really?" Wang Tingting was a little skeptical.

She has watched countless movies and has never heard of any such thing as Sankami. If it really existed, she would have known about it.

But her old self-awareness told her that this should be a mentor to enlighten boys during puberty.

Judging from the name, he might be a great magician.

Maybe it's a newcomer.

I've been a bit busy lately and didn't notice it.

Look back and check.

"How much money is in the account?" Qin Chuan did not dwell on the foreign language issue, but asked about his own assets.

"Counting last year's album revenue, it's about 130 million." Wang Tingting placed the information in front of Qin Chuan and continued, "The only thing missing now is Lost on Journey. If it can be released this year, it should be more."

"In addition, Startling by Each Step and Strange Hero Yizhimei will bring us at least tens of millions of revenue every year in the next three years."

A drama cannot make money unless it is taken off the air.

You can still make money by syncing to video websites, and you can also sell overseas copyrights.

Tens of millions every year, this is Wang Tingting’s conservative estimate.

I have to say that this old thief Qin Chuan has really bright eyes. He invested in several dramas last year, and they became so popular this year.

The most profitable sport is bullfighting.

But Huang Bo earned an award for Best Actor.

At the end of January this year, when Qin Chuan was still filming Lost on Journey, Huang Bo went to Taiwan and won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor.

A loss of five million in exchange for a Golden Horse Award for Best Actor, it's a profit no matter how you look at it.

At this point, Qinchao Entertainment has gained another movie emperor.

Huang Bo is not in the company at the moment, he has gone out to film.

After winning the Best Actor award, he will no longer lack resources. In the next few years, he will have endless leading male roles to play.

Liu Sisi and Huang Bo became popular this year.

The one that's not as good is Hu Ge, but it's not that bad either. The Legend of the Condor Heroes was also aired and the ratings were pretty good.

"It's just over 100 million." Qin Chuan frowned, a little dissatisfied.

"Boss, it's not a little more, it's 30 million more." Wang Tingting corrected him.

Whoever manages 30 million is fine.

"Also, Li Yugang, Zeng Yi has asked me several times about your schedule and when you will arrive at the company."

"Why are they looking for me?" Qin Chuan asked curiously, "It's not like I don't have a phone. If they have something to say, they can just tell me."

"How would I know? I asked, and they said it was nothing, but they just asked every once in a while."

"Okay, I get it."

Qin Chuan waved his hand and asked Wang Tingting to go and get busy first.

Turning around, Wang Tingting tucked her white shirt into her black skirt, with her hips raised, and walked away in her high heels.

More like San Shang.

Looking at her back, Qin Chuan was slightly excited. Seeing that Wang Tingting's shoulders were twisting, he quickly turned his head.

The next second, Wang Tingting turned around and pointed at the reflective glass of the office with a smile.

Qin Chuan cursed inwardly, wondering which bastard installed this glass.

Why is it still reflective?

Quite good at playing.

After calming down for a few seconds, he took out his cell phone and called Zeng Yi: "Brother Zeng, I heard Wang Tingting say you were looking for me, is there something wrong?"

"Looking for me for dinner? I don't have time. If you want to talk, just say it."

The post-production of Lost on Journey was almost done, and the next step was promotion and distribution. He was so busy that he had no time to have dinner with Zeng Yi.

After hesitating for a long time, Zeng Yi finally stated his purpose.

"Boss, um, do you remember the song we talked about when we signed the contract?"

"That's it, one song every two years. I'm not rushing you, I'm just afraid you'll be too busy to remember."

I agreed to write a song for them every two years, but now it has taken several months longer.

He didn't dare to ask or urge, he just waited.

Even though it's very painful.

Because they saw Qin Chuan writing songs for Liu Sisi one by one, and now this actor has a higher reputation in the music industry than them.

Anxious.

"As for this matter, I would have told you even if you didn't tell me." If Zeng Yi hadn't told him, Qin Chuan would have totally forgotten about it.

No wonder Wang Tingting asked Zeng Yi what it was about.

When Qin Chuan signed the contract with them, he did say that he would write a song for them in two years, but that was an under-the-table agreement, a verbal promise, and there was no contract.

Zeng Yi naturally didn't dare to talk about things without evidence.

Looking through the documents on the table, Qin Chuan saw that Phoenix Legend brought the company more than 18 million in revenue last year, much of which came from paid ringtones.

"Don't worry, I've already written it. So, when you have time, come to the company to get it from Wang Tingting. I'll explain it clearly to her."

On the other end of the phone, Zeng Yi said excitedly: "Brother Chuan! I'll come over now!"

Qin Chuan comforted: "There's no need to rush."

He hasn't even started writing yet, come over and get the wool.

"I'm in a hurry!"

Zeng Yi can't wait to see the new song.

In the past two years, the old songs have become so sung that they sound dull.

Last year's revenue was not as much as the year before. Half a year has passed this year, and it is obviously not as good as the first half of last year.

A song will eventually be squeezed dry.

He didn't get sick of singing, but his fans almost got sick of listening to it.

More than forty minutes later.

Zeng Yi rushed to the company in a hurry.

Holding the song Qin Chuan wrote for him.

Looking at the brand new A4 paper and still being able to smell the scent of ink, he suspected that the song had only been produced for less than half an hour.

Although he has no proof.

But when I saw the lyrics and melody, whether there was evidence or not didn't seem to matter anymore.

The coolest ethnic style.

The title of the song sounds very cool.
