Who are you calling "little fresh meat"? I'm the king.

Chapter 93 Album Release (510)

Uh, "Tianya Zhinu" is airing on Jiangsu Satellite TV...

Ratings flopped...

Less than 0.6, and the audience share is only about 1.7.

Popular dramas in the same timeframe include the new "Three Kingdoms," "Meteor Butterfly Sword," "Go Go Du Lala," Zhang Jizhong's version of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber," and "A Dream of Wedding."

It can't beat any of them!
Even in the TV series "Tianya Zhinu Bar", a lot of people are complaining about the plot, saying that it is "too boring" and "the most unsatisfactory TV series I have ever watched from Tangren. Not only is the plot a bit dragged out, but there are too many A, B, C, and D, and the story is not focused."

By the way, many people also complained that too much plot was cut...

Because the historical background is the end of Song Dynasty and the beginning of Yuan Dynasty, the scenes involving "Mongolism", marrying a "Mongol" king, and fighting against "Mongolism" were all deleted.

The problem is that these plots only appear several episodes later!
It just doesn't look good.

Plus, the lead actress Zhang Junmi doesn't have much fame in mainland China...

It would be great if it could be broadcast on satellite TV!
As for Cai Yinong, she has been very upset recently.

"What's wrong with her?"

"That Yu Zheng made a Qing Dynasty drama before 'Scarlet Heart' called 'Palace Lock Heart Jade'. It's already started filming in Hengdian. I heard it's been sold to Mango TV and it's going to be their big opening drama of the year!"

"…Who made Cai Yinong so slow? Didn't he acquire the adaptation rights for 'Scarlet Heart' a long time ago?"

"That should be..." Shi Shi nodded. "I heard Yu Zheng originally wanted to buy 'Startling by Each Step'... After asking around, he found out that our company owns the copyright, so he wrote a copy himself!"

Shen Yan nodded: "...Qing Dynasty novels have long had a fixed routine. Either you are the Fourth Master's party or the Eighth Master's party..."

The plot of the Qing Dynasty time-travel novel is basically the same, it is about a modern person traveling back to the Qing Dynasty and having a love story with an ancient prince.

The male protagonist is either the Fourth Prince or the Eighth Prince.

The Eighth Prince was known as the Virtuous Prince and was the most powerful force after the Crown Prince's fall. He caused dissatisfaction among Emperor Kangxi because of his clique formation.

The Fourth Prince kept a low profile, secretly cultivating his power, and on the surface was very respectful to Kangxi and the Crown Prince...

In addition, for a long time, "Qingchuan" has almost become synonymous with online romance novels. To a certain extent, the rise of this theme has greatly promoted the rise of online romance novels in mainland China, and has had an extremely important and far-reaching impact on the development of ancient romance and time-travel themes.

On July 2004, 7, author Jin Zi began serializing his pioneering work, "Dreaming of the Qing Dynasty," on Wenxuecheng.com, marking the beginning of a wave of Qing Dynasty-themed novels.

Then, the theme of Qing Dynasty travel spread like wildfire across the entire Internet, ushering in the most prosperous and popular five years of Qing Dynasty travel.

The three major schools of Qing Dynasty drama were all born in this period. The famous Fourth Master Party, Eighth Master, Ninth Master, Thirteenth Master, Fourteenth Master and many other factions were established during this period. At the same time, it also laid the foundation for the overall background setting and structure of the entire subject matter. No matter how the style of later works developed and changed, most of them did not exceed the creative scope of works in this period.

Therefore, the most important thing is to seize the opportunity!
Cai Yinong filed for the production of "Scarlet Heart" in May and even negotiated with Mango TV for the exclusive broadcast...

Yu Zheng formed the crew in July and finished filming in October, just in time to finish before the filming of "Scarlet Heart"!
Cai Yinong must be unhappy!
Shen Yan asked, "Do you want to play the leading role in 'Scarlet Heart'?"

"I don't really want to. I feel like this Maertai Ruoxi is not very smart..."

"Hmm? Not in the right brain?"

"That's right..." Shi Shi thought for a moment and said, "I feel like she quite enjoys sadomasochism. Serving as a slave, she develops feelings for her master... Especially that part where she sympathizes with Kangxi... I'm speechless!"

What she said was that after Ruoxi had washed clothes in the laundry department for ten years, she felt sympathy for Kangxi because he was lonely without anyone to accompany him - she felt sympathy for the loneliness of an emperor who made her do hard labor for ten years and became rich. What kind of despicable behavior was this... Especially since Kangxi had many women, dozens of sons and hundreds of grandchildren.

"Yeah," Shen Yan nodded. "'Startling by Each Step' has a bit of a northern style, like the young men in the Shanghai alleys choosing wives, and the girls scrambling to win over the young men..."

"I'm not taking up 'Bu Bu' anyway. I'm still waiting for 'Lotus Tower'!"

"...Okay, filming starts in September, and I want to join the crew in advance to receive martial arts training." "Should I go too?"

"You should go too. After all, Jiao Liqiao has a lot of action scenes."

……

Shen Yan’s judgment was correct. "Tianya Zhinu" did not bring him much benefits, but the benefits brought by the World Cup were enough to make him full!

Here's what happened: Chen Xu found a bunch of YouTubers and edited some wonderful clips of national teams from various countries, all with the song "Chasing Dreams" as the soundtrack...

The focus is on the two major video platforms, Youku and Tudou.

In just three days, the number of views has basically exceeded one million... and then there are a lot of followers...

The soundtrack is basically all from "Chasing Dreams"...

The company directly released the audio source and MV of "Chasing Dreams"...

Now here comes the awkward part. While the song "Chasing Dreams" still has a high listener count, the MV still doesn't get as many views as the Argentine national team's video clips, especially after Argentina lost 1-4 to Germany in the quarter-finals...

The number of views of the Argentine team’s video clip has soared by several million!
Shen Yan felt pretty fucked up...

Damn, the MV of "Chasing Dreams with a Childlike Heart" cost 80!

It accounts for 1/3 of the production cost of this album...

Then, the number of views was actually not as high as the videos edited by netizens...

Fortunately, the sound source performed well - in three days, the number of downloads exceeded 10 million!

Then, Shen Yan directly released the album "Chasing Dreams with a Childlike Heart"...

As for physical albums, they are also available in major music and video stores.

There are only 100,000 physical tapes, 10,000 CDs and 3,000 vinyl records in total...

This data is based on facts.

Although Shen Yan is somewhat well-known, he is still a newcomer after all...

Last year, his song "Shen Yan" was downloaded over 4 million times, including ringtones, ringtones, and songs. It shocked the industry...

But the physical album sales of "Shen Yan" are only a little over 12...

The overall market situation this year remains very poor. According to Dangdang.com, the best-selling film in the first half of this year was Zhou Jielun's "Crossing the Era," which currently sells 55 copies...

According to data records, "Cross Era" is the last physical album in the Chinese music scene to sell over one million copies, with sales of 110 million copies in Asia...

The sales of Zhou Jielun's previous albums were all around 300 million. The highest record was "Still Fantasy" in 2006, which sold 360 million copies across Asia. This is also the best-selling Chinese album in the past decade.

Even Zhou Jielun, with such a strong appeal, can only barely reach over one million!
By the way, Wang Leehom's "Eighteen Martial Arts" sold less than 50 copies – Leehom's album sales can't compare to Zhou Jielun's. His "Heroes" sold 73 copies, and "Change Yourself" sold 75 copies…

The best-selling film in mainland China is Chen Chusheng's "Winter Goes and Spring Comes", with sales of approximately 33 copies.

Shen Yan wasn't an idiot. Although he was confident in the quality of the album "Chasing Dreams with a Childlike Heart," he was still a rookie after all.

Then, a week later, all the major audio-visual stores announced that they would reprint...

Sold out!
