Huayu: As a child star, I just want to be famous

Chapter 588: Highly anticipated, new drama begins (6K) Please vote for the monthly ticket
Song Yunze also noticed the promotional trailer for "The Biography of Emperor Zhaolie of the Southern Song Dynasty".

The advertisements for this movie are really everywhere. I saw it once on V Station, and now there are advertisements waiting for me on the League of Legends client.

"Fuck, how much did this cost?"

I haven't watched TV series for a long time since I graduated from high school and entered college.

I always feel that there are a lot more love plots in TV dramas in recent years.

Even historical dramas can focus on a love story.

This greatly reduced his interest in watching the show as a grown man.

Isn’t League of Legends good?

Just searching for some classic movies and TV series from the past on the Internet is better than watching new dramas.

However, when he saw the video advertisement mentioning that the screenwriter of the drama was Chen Linfeng, he rarely showed any interest.

When he was in middle school, his favorite dramas were those written by Chen Linfeng.

His dramas are rebroadcast on TV almost every year.

Even now, I can still see it from time to time during the winter and summer vacations.

Thinking of this, he simply clicked on the video to see what the quality was like.

At the beginning of the video, the screen was completely black, with only one line of large words:
What would history be like if Liu Bei's soul was possessed by Zhao Gou?

"Huh? What's going on?"

Song Yunze was confused and uncertain. The screen gradually turned white and the camera blinked.

Obviously, this is a first-person perspective.

Then, the perspective widened.

In the picture, a man slowly opened his eyes with a dazed look on his face.

Surrounding them were a group of palace maids.

"Official, you are awake."

The palace servants began to serve diligently, and the surroundings were peaceful and quiet, revealing the prosperity of the Song Dynasty palace.

The camera turned.

The two palace maids were talking in a low voice.

"The government seems to be different in recent days."

"What's the difference?"

"He is still the same person, but his demeanor and demeanor have changed. This official is so impressive that it makes people feel impressed, but only occasionally..."

"how?"

"It's a little weird."

"What's wrong?"

"Last time, I saw the emperor reading an article called "The Memorial to the Emperor on Leaving the Capital" and he started crying after reading it. He cried his heart out.

I was so surprised that I accidentally knocked over the incense burner, but the official comforted me. That’s why I say that the official has become a better person. People have little people like us in their eyes.”

Song Yunze couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Is it true that Liu Bei's soul has traveled through time and space to Zhao Gou's body?

At this point in the video, the tempo starts to pick up.

The camera flashed by quickly, and Song Yunze couldn't see it clearly, but he could roughly tell that this was the official who appeared at the beginning, constantly receiving ministers.

The picture contains both passionate and intimate scenes of casual conversation.

As the BGM became more and more exciting, the entire video was divided into two parts.

There were words on one side. Song Yunze paused and took a look. They were some historical records of the Southern Song Dynasty.

The other side should be the screen of the TV series.

On the left it says: In the first year of Shaoxing, Qin Hui proposed the peace strategy of "Southerners return to the south, and northerners return to the north."

On the right, the emperor said with disgust, "Qin Hui said 'Southerners go south, northerners go north'. I am a northerner, where shall I go?"

Remove him from the position of Prime Minister and never use him again!"

Prepare for war and unify the thoughts of the government and the public.

Re-employ Yue Fei and take over Liu Guangshi's troops.

He personally went to the front line and presided over the Northern Expedition.

Subsequently, there were great victories in Shunchang, Yancheng and Yingchang, and Tokyo was recovered.

Then he went straight to Huanglong, and the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun returned to China.

The history on the left and the picture on the right corresponded at the beginning, but as the timeline moved backward, the gap became larger and larger.

In the historical facts on the left, Yue Fei was falsely accused, while in the picture on the right, the emperor patted Yue Fei on the shoulder and laughed wantonly.

On the left, Qin Hui was a high-ranking official who formed cliques for personal gain and attacked dissidents.

On the right, the emperor appeared in armor in front of the entire army, with countless soldiers below him shouting "Long live the emperor".

At the end of the video, the screen gradually darkened, and only an old male voice could be heard:
"Everything changed from that autumn morning in the first year of Shaoxing. History started from here and played a big joke."

The sound gradually faded away, and the name "Biography of Emperor Zhaolie of the Southern Song Dynasty" appeared on the screen again.

Below, the broadcast time shows that it will be broadcast at 1 pm on January 25th.

Song Yunze looked at the lower right corner of the computer. It was now the 23rd, and there were still two days left.

He was a little impatient; watching the documentary just now made his blood boil.

"Fuck, Chen Linfeng's imagination is as wild as ever. Liu Bei's soul traveled through time and space to become Zhao Gou. I've only seen modern people travel through time and space to become ancient people in online novels, but I've never seen a historical figure travel through time and space like this."

He was really curious about what Liu Bei's development strategy would be if he traveled through time and space to be Zhao Gou's body.

The few minutes of preview video just now are not enough.

"It's just that why haven't I heard before that this drama is such a time-travel drama? If it is true, the news should have been released long ago."

Song Yunze was a little worried, so he opened Weibo and searched for "Biography of Emperor Zhaolie of Southern Song Dynasty" to see what netizens had to say.

At this time, Weibo had already exploded.

The trailer on the 23rd is simply explosive.

Many people on the Internet are looking forward to Chen Linfeng’s new drama. Several trailers have been released before, all of which focus on showing war scenes.

Everyone also praised the new drama for how meticulously it was done in terms of battlefields, costumes and props.

"Can anyone tell me what the hell is Liu Bei's soul traveling through time? No wonder it's called The Biography of Zhaolie of the Southern Song Dynasty. The producers are really good at hiding it. They only released the big move two days before the show was aired?"

"Fuck, I almost got excited after watching the trailer. I like this, more of it."

"Damn it, why did Long and Qilin tell me this news? How could you let me wait for the next two days?"

"This drama is a must-see. My mom can't snatch the remote control from me, I said. Oh, it's a web drama, I watched it on the computer, then it's okay."

"Anyway, I'm going to cast my phone screen onto the TV and watch it with my family. My dad has also seen the trailer and he said that this kind of show is still good. I must fight with my old lady to watch it on the TV. If not, I won't even celebrate the New Year."

"Why not just move the computer to the living room? It's not a big deal upstairs."

"..."

Song Yunze almost laughed out loud when he saw the comments from these netizens.

It seems that the producer has been hiding it before, and today's trailer is the real deal.

But, think about it, it’s more interesting to watch it with family during the New Year.

Song Yunze made up his mind to join forces with his father to form a united front.

……

The trailer of "The Biography of Emperor Zhaolie of Southern Song" released on the 23rd caused a huge uproar.

A time-travel drama that blatantly changes history.

You must be too courageous.

After learning the content of the trailer, many companies in the industry's first reaction was that since their superiors were not taking any action, they would report it.

But after a little research, it was discovered that Long Lin did not actually violate the rules this time.

"The Biography of Emperor Zhaolie of the Southern Song Dynasty" is a web drama, and Optoelectronics does not have particularly strict requirements for web dramas.

"Can this still happen?"

Zhao Yifang from Huace was surprised and asked, "Doesn't that mean that if we want to shoot a web series, we can do the same?"

It is hard to say how much the above restrictions affect their creation.

But there are indeed some themes that, if not restricted, can attract a considerable audience.

For example, those with colors, some crime themes, and some time-travel themes.

These are indeed natural and easy to arouse the audience's curiosity. As long as the quality is slightly improved, the ratings will not be bad.

“Boss Zhao, it’s still uncertain whether the online drama can make back its cost now.

Director Chen made such a big move this time, firstly because he had the backing of his own platform, V Station, and secondly, I heard that he also used personal connections as collateral to persuade Penguin Video. We don’t have these two conditions.”

"You're right," Zhao Yifang thought about it and decided to hold off.

"But that being said, since Mr. Chen has taken the lead in the direction of web dramas, we should follow suit. Forget about big productions, we can try small but exquisite scripts."

Zhao Yifang instructed, "First, look for topics that might be close to the subject matter, such as ghosts, time travel, crime, etc."

Forget about the colors, other subjects may be somewhat exempted. After all, the Internet is different from traditional industries.

But when it comes to color, China has always adopted a high-pressure approach and does not allow any messing around.

"I understand, Mr. Zhao."

Many practitioners know that Chen Linfeng put a lot of effort into this web drama.

Because of this, you may owe favors to others.

Therefore, the entire industry is watching to see what the future prospects of online dramas will be.

As industry giants, everyone is following the lead of the big guys.

The time soon came to the 25th.

Ordinary audiences such as Song Yunze and Cheng Liwei had already been sitting in front of their computer desks, silently waiting for 6 o'clock to arrive.

Zhao Yifang also brought a group of company executives to the company's conference room, waiting to see the final product of "The Biography of Emperor Zhaolie of the Southern Song Dynasty".

New Year?

Why celebrate the New Year? If not, everyone will work overtime voluntarily.

Although it is updated at 6 o'clock, Penguin Video always secretly updates about half an hour earlier.

You know what, doing this always gets some praise from netizens.

And V Station is obviously not a particular person. This time, they opened the show for viewing at 5 o'clock.

The drama "The Biography of Emperor Zhaolie of the Southern Song Dynasty" was launched in conjunction with the V-station's VIP membership business.

To be precise, V-site membership was officially launched on New Year's Day 2014.

For this purpose, v-station has purchased the Internet copyrights of many classic film and television dramas.

But, everyone obviously doesn’t seem to be too interested.

"The Biography of Emperor Zhaolie of the Southern Song Dynasty" was a risky attempt by the top management of V Station.

In other words, Chen Linfeng has always given everyone too much confidence, otherwise V Station might have to wait another year or two.

Penguin Video is similar, they all want to gain some new members through this.

To this end, both broadcasters made very different changes to the way they broadcast "The Biography of Emperor Zhaolie of the Southern Song Dynasty".

In the past, when new content was released on video platforms, there were usually two episodes a day, which was similar to what was available on TV stations.

But now, it has become four episodes a day, with four episodes updated directly on the first day.

The 30-episode drama was completed in 7 days.

But if you are not a member, you can only wait sadly for one episode a day, and you can only watch two episodes in a row on the first day.

But Song Yunze was planning to watch it on the V site, so he didn't waste any time and directly signed up for a one-year premium membership.

"Let's do this for now. If there are more good dramas on V-site, we'll continue later."

Since his family is not short of money, he doesn't have to be so frugal.

Cheng Liwei watched it on Penguin.

At 5 o'clock, he was still hesitant, but watched as six episodes were scrolled out at once, while non-members could only watch two episodes.

He couldn't stand it any longer. "Isn't this forcing me to top up my account?"

But there is no other way. If you want to see the sequel earlier, you can only pay.

Cheng Liwei scanned the QR code while cursing. He had full confidence in Chen Linfeng's play.

Just look at the comments below and you will know how many people are looking forward to this drama.

The channel has just been opened and the total number of comments has exceeded 3.

Many of them were brushed today.

I just saw a comment that said "Looking forward to it, please broadcast it soon."

As soon as I refreshed, it disappeared immediately.

"It's so lively." Cheng Liwei exclaimed.

At the Huace headquarters, Zhao Yifang watched the marketing manager scanning the code to recharge his membership, then turned around and started chatting with the company's vice president.

"The video platform makes money from this, right? A monthly membership fee of 15 yuan, can it recover such a high cost?"

It costs 500 million for one episode, which is 1.5 million in total, and we need million new members.

This is so exaggerated that it is almost impossible.

"In fact, it doesn't take that much to make back the money."

"Oh?" Zhao Yifang asked in surprise, "Is this algorithm wrong?"

"Internet thinking is different from traditional industries. New members often pay more than just once. As long as members get used to watching dramas on this platform, they will continue to pay.

Moreover, people who buy membership on this platform often won’t go to other video platforms, so there is a competitive relationship here.

Moreover, even if it attracts a lot of ordinary netizens to add membership, as long as they watch other dramas on this platform, they might be tempted to pay.

This also has an advertising effect, and the higher the online drama is played, the more expensive the advertising fee will be, which is also income. "

The vice president who is more knowledgeable about the Internet concluded, "As long as there are 100 million new members and hundreds of millions of views, the money will be worth it."

"Oh, that's how it is."

Zhao Yifang understood that if it involved spending money in competition, then there was nothing to say, even if it meant losing money.

And if "The Biography of Emperor Zhaolie of the Southern Song Dynasty" can help seize the market, then no matter how much loss there is on paper, it is actually making money.

While the two were chatting, "The Biography of Emperor Zhaolie of the Southern Song Dynasty" started playing on the big screen in the conference room.

At the beginning, Zhao Gou showed his face.

However, his image is not particularly good.

A palace servant mentioned the search of mountains and seas last year, which brought back bad memories for Zhao Gou.

He was frightened at first, then became furious and stabbed the palace maid to death.

Perhaps because of the shock, he fell ill that night.

In a daze, Emperor Zhao passed away and was replaced by Liu Bei's core.

Then, as mentioned in the trailer, Liu Bei opened his eyes and was surprised to see that he was in a foreign land.

Fortunately, he is a mature version of Liu Bei who has experienced the state of being entrusted with the care of his son in Baidi City, and his psychological endurance has greatly increased.

Next, you need to carefully test your own situation.

I was surprised to learn that this happened a thousand years later, I sighed when I understood that the Southern Song Dynasty only had half of the country, and I was praised for the great Tang Dynasty before that.

Also, when he saw the "The Memorial to the Emperor on Leaving the Capital" written by Zhuge Liang, he burst into tears.

The first episode is almost entirely about how Liu Bei, using Zhao Gou's body, carefully learned about the situation in the Zhao Song Dynasty and watched the plots of past history.

In the middle is Liu Bei's method of employing and gaining access to people.

It didn't take long before he won the support of almost everyone in the palace.

Overall, it seems a bit calm.

But Song Yunze watched with great interest, oh, and so did his dad.

After reading the beginning, Song Yunze felt that the quality met his highest expectations.

I quickly called my dad.

The two of them actually watched it on the screen in the living room.

"This is Liu Bei. He has been busy for decades, but his subordinates have always been loyal to him. This is all thanks to his personal charm."

Dad always wants to teach his son a lesson.

“Episode 2 begins.”

Song Yunze directly clicked on the second episode.

Song's father's sermon came to an abrupt end. He was a little uncomfortable with the speed of the web drama.

"How can it be so fast? There's not even an advertisement."

“There are members.”

"Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense. The second episode has started. Let's watch TV first."

Song Ma interrupted the two.

She was also watching with great interest. Don't say that women don't like historical dramas. If it's really interesting, she would also like to watch it.

Xiao Ruofeng is a relatively honest person. He only started watching on the V site at 6 o'clock.

I've only watched half of the first episode.

I don’t know how many people watched the show before him, but by the time he started watching it, there were already many people posting comments.

Among them, Zhao Xuande has the most comments when watching "The Memorial to the Emperor on Leaving the Capital".

The screen was almost entirely filled with content such as "Goodbye, Prime Minister", "Serve the country with all your heart and soul until your death", and "Death before the mission is accomplished makes the heroes cry".

Seeing Liu Bei crying heartbrokenly in the play, he couldn't help but shed tears.

"Fuck, watching it with the barrage, the effect is a bit overwhelming."

Indeed, it feels great to be watching a show with thousands of other people.

Especially since the quality of the show itself is so great.

As Liu Bei gradually gained control of the situation in the inner court, he began to focus on court affairs.

The first person he had to face was Qin Hui.

This peace faction returned south from the Jin territory last year, which was the fourth year of Jianyan.

Since then, he has been advocating the idea of ​​peace talks and a compromising line towards Jin, and has attracted a large number of supporters.

This made Liu Bei very unhappy.

As a predecessor, he certainly didn't know what kind of person Qin Hui was, but as Emperor Zhaolie who had created the Three Kingdoms situation, he disliked this person very much.

In the second episode, Qin Hui made peace with the Jin people in the north, while at the same time he began to form cliques and pursue personal interests under the banner of peace talks.

On the other hand, Liu Bei used his status as a king to extend his influence downward, looking for like-minded people, promoting Lu Yihao, bringing Zhu Shengfei back to the court, suppressing Qin Hui, and stabilizing the situation in the court.

Afterwards, when everything was ready, he readily dismissed Qin Hui from his position as prime minister and "never employed him again."

"This is too fast, Qin Hui is taken down in the second episode?"

Song Yunze thought the fight would last for several episodes.

"It's not that difficult for an emperor to dismiss a court official. Liu Bei is not Zhao Gou, and he still has to worry about the Jin people's attitude.

Moreover, in history, Zhao Gou really dismissed someone from his position as prime minister and said that he would never employ him again.

It's just that Zhao Gou would slap himself in the face, but Liu Bei probably wouldn't do that."

Song's father knew a lot about this period of history, so he especially wanted to see something different.

At the end of the second episode, Yue Fei appears.

Influenced by Liu Bei's series of measures to sanction Qin Hui, he began to contact the Northern Expedition faction in the court. Zhu Shengfei promised to recommend him to the emperor at an appropriate time.

This is the end of the second episode.

"Keep going, finish the next episode as soon as possible." Song's father urged.

How can we tolerate Grandpa Yue showing up?

"It's time to cook, let's stop for now."

"Just do it, it won't affect you."

Song Ma glanced at him and said, "I have to see it too."

"That's fine."

While the two bosses were arguing, Song Yunze sneaked back to the room.

I can't bear it, so I'll just enjoy it first.

Online, netizens who have not paid for membership are wailing.

"Damn, it's just this little, who would see it?"

"Who invented this membership thing? It's disgusting."

"You think if you get me a membership, I'll be obedient? You're kidding, I can't help myself."

The audience who originally didn't plan to pay for the show, after watching the first two episodes, really couldn't wait.

Yue Fei has already come out, but you are stuck here. Who is so wicked to interrupt the show like this?

Therefore, many netizens gritted their teeth and said, "Recharge!"

Yu Yunxi from the Operations Department of Penguin Video Company couldn't wait any longer and ran to the backstage to inquire about the situation.

"How is it going? How many new members and video views?"

"Currently, there are 23 new members and the video playback volume exceeds 60." The backend operation replied excitedly.

"Boss Yu, this drama is going to be a hit."

He has experience. It is not yet 8 o'clock, which is not the peak period of data growth. After 8 o'clock, there will definitely be a large wave of growth.

The most important thing is, how could new dramas in the past have such a high ratio of new shows?

Of course, most of those who wait to watch the show as soon as it starts airing are core fans, and it is normal for them to buy a membership because they can’t wait.

But it's still too high.

Yu Yunxi also understood this principle, and he couldn't help but show his joy on his face, which turned slightly red due to excitement.

"Beautiful, keep staring, I'll report to Mr. Sun right away."

Sun Huaizhong received a call soon.

He was not particularly happy to hear that the data of "Biography of Emperor Zhaolie of Southern Song" was extremely good.

Such data did not exceed his expectations.

As for Chen Linfeng, people in the industry often have more confidence in him than he himself.

"It's a pity that we didn't get any favors. Maybe we should thank them for liking us."

V station also received the news early.

The growth of their premium membership is slightly lower than that of Penguin Video. After all, in terms of overall fame, they are still not as famous as Penguin.

But no matter what, the game for the VIP members has been revitalized.

Chen Rui was so excited that he waved his fist vigorously.

"Mr. Chen, in fact, our potential in the future may be even greater."

"Oh?"

“Danmu, there are many comments that mention this feature. Some viewers even watch the show later just to see the Danmu.

Many young people subscribe to V Station specifically for our barrage function."

"This is an unexpected surprise."

Chen Rui is also an old fan of the second dimension. He knows that with the help of barrage, he can have a better sense of watching the anime.

I didn’t expect that historical dramas could also enhance the experience.

Currently, only V station uses the barrage function, and Penguin does not have it.

“I guess Penguin will soon learn to develop the barrage function, but they don’t have it now, and this is our advantage.

You go ahead and spread this distinction to as many fans as possible."

"understand!"
