Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 173 Goblin airs, ruling the small screen [Subscribe]

After a while, the visiting team from Huayi, including Jack Ma, had either left or rushed to the screening room to see the finished film.

In the large office, Fat Bing sat at his desk with a cup of coffee in his hand. "Brother Yu, you gave your new talent a script. Can I take a look at the script?"

It's only been a few days.

The news spread so quickly, of course it was Lao Li who said it himself.

During long-term aerobic exercise, Pang Bing would ask Xiao Tong if he wanted anything and what he wanted, or if Lao Li would take the initiative to give him something.

Li Wenyu calmly went to print the script.

Even if Pang Bing feels itchy and wants to try his hand at directing after watching a love story like "Me Before You", he can just copy another one.

This kind of little thing is so easy for cheaters.

…………

A few hours later.

At Beijing Film Academy, a group of female students were gathered in a dormitory building, outside the dormitory where Jiang Shuying and Liu Shishi lived, discussing and talking about something enthusiastically.

Xiao Yang called each TV station one by one to invite them to watch the film, review it, and discuss selling it.

As the news spread, many people who were well-informed naturally knew about it.

This was when Liu Shishi was venting her excitement, and the news was known to her neighbors and then spread throughout the campus.

So she originally wanted to drag Jiang Shuying to watch the finished movie (Goblin), but was blocked.

There were almost so many people outside a certain girls' dormitory that there was no room to stand in the corridor.

There was constant noise in the corridor.

In another dormitory, Wang Zixuan watched her nominal roommate Tong Liya lying quietly and steadily on her bed, reading a book, seemingly enjoying it very much.

Wang Zixuan whispered, "Sister Tong, aren't you going to watch the fun?"

This nominal roommate's gimmick when entering the school was even more impressive than Liu Yifei from Class 02. She entered the school with the leading female role in the drama "King of Dramas" (Squid Game).

While she was undergoing military training, the other person had already been playing the leading female role in the crew.

Wang Zixuan felt that it was a bit magical that she could live in this four-person dormitory, because besides Tong Liya.

There's also a girl named Alexandra Daddario here, who stayed here for two days after school started and hasn't shown up since.

When she met Alexandra, Wang Zixuan thought she had a good figure, but she was almost driven autistic by her show-off.

The last roommate was Zhao Ji, a young white flower from Shandong Province.

Zhao Ji said that he originally wanted to apply to the Shanghai Theatre Academy. Lu Yi, Nie Yuan, Tong Dawei and other former graduates of the Shanghai Theatre Academy were his former idols.

After Lao Li made his debut, I feel that this newest idol is the strongest and most stable.

Professor Huang in My Love from the Star is enough to instantly kill all the idol drama characters played by Lu Yi and others in the past.

And "You Who Came From the Stars" is just one of Director Li's more ordinary TV dramas.

She is the only one who has practiced martial arts and dance since childhood and has the least sense of existence.

After saying this, Tong Liya glanced at Wang Zixuan and shook her head, "It's the busiest time now, and I don't like to join in the fun."

"If you want to see it, you can ask Liu Shishi and the others."

Following idol dramas? She has now become the sweet and sexy heroine in a big idol drama in real life.

After all the calculations, apart from Daddario and the other two, she is only the fourth wife of the Li family.

The problem is that in this life, she met the most awesome Mr. Li when she was young. It would be a big loss if she didn't talk about it.

No one is married.

She wasn't sure how many years Lao Li would date her. He might get tired of her and dump her after a few years, but she still didn't suffer any loss during this period.

Who hasn't had a first love that was either successful or failed? Xiao Tong is certain that she is in the most successful stage. The future is too far away, so she will wait and see.

Now she was afraid that if she tried to sneak up to the house, she would be chased and attacked by Pang Bing or Dong Li, so she felt that the dormitory was the safest place.

Dong Li might even come to her dormitory and beat her up after Black Mask 3 was finished.

Sister Bingbing definitely wouldn’t do that.

Otherwise, how could the other party hold the two courtyards steady?

Wang Zixuan laughed awkwardly, "I don't have any friendship with them, so I'm embarrassed to ask. Besides, there are too many people over there begging to watch the internal preview."

"There can't be too many people, right? Otherwise, the TV station won't be able to accommodate everyone, and we'll have to rent a movie theater like we did with You Who Came From the Stars."

Xiao Tong nodded. "Yes, it's all wasted time. Although you can watch it on a plasma TV after making a copy, the big screen is much more exciting than the small screen."

They were chatting casually when Xiao Tong's phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was a message from Liu Shishi asking her to go to the company to see ghosts.

Tong Liya quickly responded and refused.

A few seconds later, another text message came. It was Li Wenyu asking her to go home to continue the massage and beauty treatment.

Xiao Tong put away the book in seconds and his legs felt a little weak when he got out of bed.

For the first time in her life, she was in the most passionate love since becoming a woman. It seemed that Lao Li had settled the courtyard? She hadn't received a massage for three consecutive days.

She secretly missed him so much that her tears flowed like a river.

Before leaving, she politely comforted Xiao Wang a few words, put on a hat and a mask and ran away. She was often watched on campus when she didn't wear a mask.

Too many people wanted to chat up and ask questions.

Without saying too much, she was ranked tenth among the most beautiful faces in the world last year, and the (Wulin Wai Zhuan) project has been in preparation for a year because the preparation time is too long.

Li Wenyu took the initiative to offer triple pay to director Shang Jing, and then to the main creative team members Yan Ne, Sha Yi and others.

Because a small actor's poor performance delayed the project for so long, Shi Guang has no shortage of money, so naturally he can give him extra compensation.

Xiao Tong is the second female lead in (Wulin Waijiao).

There is also the cake of (Squid Game), even though many people in and outside the circle say that her relationship with Lao Li is innocent and pure, it is the training model that General Li signed Liu Shishi and others.

But there are people in the circle who are curious about her, not to mention the gossip paparazzi and netizens who like to watch the show.

…………

A residential area opposite Beijing Film Academy.

After Tong Liya ran home, she saw that Li Wenyu had already started to boil the medicine. She breathed a sigh of relief and ran to the water dispenser to drink a glass of warm water. "Boss, are you really here for a proper massage?"

After all, the medicine has been boiled.

Old Li was speechless. "Theoretically, if you start now, even if you don't take it internally or externally for a long time, you can still whiten your skin. But for the sake of efficiency, you should add some medicine."

Pang Bing had already finished reading the script of (Before I Met You).

Then, Lao Li acted coquettishly and took out the 2016 Italian film "Perfect Strangers", which was a low-budget blockbuster with an investment of 200 million US dollars and a global box office of 3200 million US dollars.

It is called a blockbuster because it is the most classic example of "small investment for big wins".

The three couples and old friends confessed their mobile phone details and publicly answered calls, including text messages and messages received on social media.

This triggered a series of accidents and crises.

In addition to making a small profit with a big investment, "The Call" has also been remade in Spain, Germany, France, China, South Korea, island countries, and so on.

The Chinese remake (The Call) raked in 6.4 million RMB at the box office in mainland China.

This was in 2018, when the original Italian version grossed 5300 million yuan in mainland China.

Don’t think that it’s 2018 now and just over 5000 million is too shabby!
It's an Italian movie. To netizens and audiences of that era, the main creators were all strangers, there was no star appeal, and no big publicity, so it was a great result.

The South Korean remake raked in 520 million viewers in South Korea.

Based on 2004 ticket prices, this equates to HK$2.43 million in box office revenue in South Korea alone.

After the Chinese translation of Perfect Stranger, Pang Bing was given the opportunity to practice directing. It was quite good, with a simple scene, similar to a group of people playing Truth or Dare while having dinner.

The excitement was much greater than Lao Feng's (cell phone). Pang Bing returned to the courtyard and, contentedly, asked Lao Li for several billion. Sensing the warmth in his body language, he muttered that he wouldn't talk to Xiao Tong about anything in the short term.

Xiao Tong walked quickly to him, her eyes full of water, "How about we go take a shower first? Then we can give each other a little business blowjob?"

She really wanted to complain that she was not a slut.

The problem is that Lao Li's skills are even more outrageous than his physical fitness.

…………

Starting from September 9, the leaders of Beijing TV Station had not watched the entire drama.

After watching only two episodes, he bought the first and second round broadcast rights of Goblin for 100 million per episode. South Korea's SBS even took the initiative to act as an intermediary and bought it for 150 million per episode.

These two together amount to 5000 million!

After the news was announced on Weibo, the name of Goblin instantly bombarded the eyes and ears of countless people, including countless netizens who had long been curious about the drama.

They all gathered under the official Weibo account of Beijing TV, eager to see the show aired.

The official Weibo account of Beijing TV was also very generous, and responded quickly that they would set a schedule as soon as possible and broadcast it in early October.

It’s National Day.

Li Wenyu also attended the opening ceremony of Daqiangzi's first JD comprehensive retail supermarket. He and Xiong Xiaoge came to support Daqiangzi.

All the first batch of employees who had been trained for two months were more excited than each other when they saw Lao Li.

Almost more excited than all the visiting media and other guests.

It's just a comprehensive retail supermarket. There are such things everywhere in the country.

Does the opening ceremony need to be grand?
This is a matter of opinion.

After all, Li Wenyu is the richest man in mainland China, with assets of more than 25 billion US dollars. He is one of the shareholders, and the other shareholder is a world-renowned venture capital firm.

These two companies teaming up to enter the supermarket retail market? That's pretty magical.

Many leaders also attended the opening ceremony.

After the ceremony, it was business as usual.

After seeing off the leaders, Da Qiangzi invited Lao Li and Lao Xiong to the top-floor office. "Mr. Li, Mr. Xiong, we will strive to open the remaining five branches before the Spring Festival."

"I try my best to ensure the stable development of the large team and give everyone more encouragement and motivation."

This year's New Year's Eve is February 2005, 2, which is more than four months away.

But this is a large enterprise with nearly 360 employees, and it also involves the scheduling of industry resources in industries.

Daqiangzi can organize everything in an orderly manner and is very capable.

Li Wenyu nodded. "We're taking it one step at a time. This is a long-term effort. We've built up an absolutely excellent reputation over the years. We sell genuine goods at reasonable prices and treat every customer like one of our own."

"Only when we truly penetrate the hearts of the people can we kill anyone who stands in our way, and even Buddhas will stand in our way."

"You have built up JD.com's unrivaled reputation in the core areas of Beijing. If you continue to engage in online shopping in the future, you will also start your business on the platform."

Taking it step by step, this is really long-term planning and development.

…………

On October 10th, the autumn wind was bleak.

Li Wenyu and Pang Bing took a car to Time Media early in the morning.

In the back of the car, Pang Bing excitedly counted the people on his fingers, "(Perfect Strangers) has seven young and middle-aged actors, four men and three women."

"When the news got out, actresses like Xian Jie, Qiu Shuzhen, Lin Qingxia, Zhang Manyu, and mainland veteran actresses like He Qing and Chen Hong all flocked to join the cast."

"Male stars, from Jiang Wen to Chen Wuming, to Rong Ge, Hua Ge, etc., are all submitting their schedules. It's amazing. Zhou Xingchi even emailed and wanted to work with him, saying he would play any role for 1 yuan."

"Brother Yu, is this a favor to you, the richest man, or is it a side effect of Sister Xian's return to youthful beauty?"

Fat Bing is a man of action.

She was a little jealous of Lao Li praising Xiao Tong as a talented woman. She didn't lack this false reputation and fame, so she just pretended to be angry and acted coquettishly to let Lao Li coax her a little.

As a result, when the script came out, she wanted to be the first to direct a movie and have it released in theaters.

After all, she is the queen.

But she sent out contracts and auditions, and just chose Joey Wong, and was also trying to get a film contract with Jiang Wen.

In just a few days, a lot of veterans recommended themselves.

Zhou Xingchi’s self-recommendation is the most outrageous. Even if you pay him, it would be difficult to invite him to make a cameo appearance in anyone’s movie.

Now I get paid 1 RMB for a role, and I will play any role I am offered.

Li Wenyu lit a cigarette, feeling both amused and helpless. "It's probably his medical skills. This Xing Ge isn't short of money, so his feelings towards his girlfriends are probably just like that."

"But he's a filial son, or maybe he wants to collaborate on other business projects."

If he took the initiative to say hello and invited Zhou Xingchi to interview for one of the roles in Perfect Stranger, the other party would most likely give him face as the richest man, which shows that he has high emotional intelligence.

But he didn't say anything.

This is Pang Bing's debut as a director, his first film after turning his acting skills into a director.

Can you believe it?
The other party confirmed in early March that Pang Bing would die tragically in Kung Fu Hustle 3, and invited Huang Shengyi to join the Kung Fu Hustle 2 crew.

He also officially started filming in Shanghai at the end of March and has now completed it.

It just needs to be sent to the United States for half a year to a year for post-production special effects.

Kung Fu Hustle 2 should be able to hit the 2005 summer box office!

So (Perfect Stranger) suddenly received a lot of emails and calls from superstars, including powerful actresses like Zhang Manyu and Gong Li, who were vying for auditions.

It is likely that Joey Wong’s appearance has returned to her youth!
Gong Li, Manyu, Chen Hong and others, it is definitely for themselves.

Zhou Xingchi would not make such a sacrifice for his girlfriend.

This is quite normal.

Pang Bing has switched to directing, which is similar to the film (The Beekeeper) that Zhang Guorong spent half a year shooting.

Moreover, during this time period, (Goblin) had already officially aired two episodes and was killing the ratings on the Beijing TV station.

The first episode of Goblin, because it is a multi-line cross-narrative.

The story narrates the death of the male protagonist during the Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago, and his resurrection, telling that more than a thousand years ago, there were people who were willing to follow him and serve him for generations.

Then, 2004 years ago in 19, he saved the mother of the heroine Liu Shishi, helping her live a few more years while being chased by the ghost.

There is also a scene that tells the story of the second male lead Jin Dong, who plays a modern version of the soul-catcher.

Most of the first two episodes of the multi-line narrative are spent laying the groundwork and describing the backgrounds of each character.

Even with this storytelling mode, the first episode attracted a 22% viewership rating, and the second episode received 29%!

Easily surpassing all the premiere records of You Who Came From the Stars, including suppressing Dark Glory.

This is the foreshadowing of one drama after another, and it brings a great sense of anticipation to the new dramas produced by Shi Guang.

This is also because of the multi-line narrative. In the introduction, the protagonist's ancient battlefield special effects are comparable to those in super movies, and in modern times, he shows predictive abilities and other super powers.

All of this is to create the aura of a super invincible male protagonist.

Not to mention the Soul Catcher, who displays all kinds of inhuman abilities of the aloof male protagonist under layers of cool and stern style.

His body is a human-shaped nuclear bomb that can easily modify the target's memory and send souls to reincarnate.

The audience cheered again, "Is this a TV series they can watch for free?"

All kinds of special effects look so cool on the small screen!
