Huayu: Starting from intercepting Duan Yu

Chapter 168: Xu Yi, who doesn't even pretend, will definitely take revenge if he gets the chance! (1000+ subscriptions for extra chapters!)
For the next period of time, Xu Yi kept Jing Tian in the villa to accompany him.

He didn't look for other women.

It’s like living in a world of two with Jingtian.

Only Jing Tian has been able to enjoy this kind of treatment.

And he didn't teach Jing Tian any other new knowledge for the time being.

I just admire and savor her, this beautiful flower in the world, over and over again.

And let Jing Tian feel his tenderness...

No, to be precise, he did teach Jing Tian a lot of driving knowledge.

Don't get me wrong, it's real driving.

Now 18-year-old Jing Tian is old enough to take a driver's license test.

So Xu Yi became her driving school teacher.

After she learns to drive, she can just go and take the test.

In addition, Xu Yi also officially began producing the special effects for "Iron Man".

And at this time, it happened to be the day when "Chinese Paladin 2" was broadcast.

In fact, when Mango TV and Tangren first heard the news of the rebroadcast of "Chinese Paladin 3", they were both shocked.

You should know that Tangren made "Chinese Paladin 2" originally to take advantage of the popularity of "Chinese Paladin" and "Chinese Paladin 3".

The so-called 3000 million investment is just for publicity.

In fact, it is less than 2000 million.

This also includes more than 2 million yuan for purchasing the film and television rights of "Chinese Paladin 200".

Naturally, it doesn't dare to compete head-on with "Chinese Paladin 3".

But now the publicity has been done.

The trailer that was edited with great difficulty has already been aired.

The most important thing is that Mango TV only paid part of the money to buy this drama!

This is also a routine operation for many TV stations!
Besides, there are not many TV stations in China that can afford expensive TV dramas.

A TV series with an investment of nearly 2000 million is definitely nothing compared to Xu Yi's TV series.

But compared with other domestic TV series, the investment is not small.

However, the TV stations in Province Z and Province G of Shanghai decided to purchase the second round broadcasting rights of "Chinese Paladin 3" early on.

There are even fewer TV stations that can afford the first broadcast rights for "Chinese Paladin 2".

It is precisely because of this that Mango TV not only did not pay the full amount.

At this time, I firmly disagree with the withdrawal of the schedule.

Otherwise, once the show is withdrawn, the reputation of both Mango TV and Tangren will be affected.

Even some of the people in charge of Mango TV may be implicated.

But if the show is not withdrawn, then the ratings of "Chinese Paladin 2" will not be good, and that will also be Tangren's problem.

According to the contract, Mango TV can pay less.

This way, the losses are reduced and no one is held responsible.

So when "Chinese Paladin 2" was broadcast, there was immediately a barrage of criticism on the Internet!
"What the hell is this?"

"You're telling me this is the Chinese Paladin 3000 that cost 2 million to make?"

"Xu Yi spent 5000 million and the special effects are at Hollywood level. Tangren spent 3000 million. I can't say the special effects are at the same level, but at least they can't fool people like this, right?"

"It's okay that the special effects are terrible, but the plot of Chinese Paladin 2 also looks terrible!"

"But the male lead is quite good-looking."

"His appearance is good, but he is still far inferior to Xu Yi, especially his acting skills and temperament, which are far behind."

"And this heroine is not as pretty as Liu Yifei and Jing Tian, ​​not even as pretty as Yang Mi!"

"Hahahahahaha, comparing this male protagonist with Xu Yi, isn't that bullying?"

"Xu Yi's acting in 'Chinese Paladin 3' is just too good!"

"Xu Yi's acting skills may not be as outstanding as his other talents, but it's definitely not bad."

"In fact, the biggest problem with this "Chinese Paladin 2" is the costumes and props. It doesn't look like the quality of a TV series with a 3000 million yuan investment."

"Now I understand why Xu Yi has been constantly criticized. The 5000 million yuan he said was a real cost is 5000 million yuan. How can other entertainment companies continue to fabricate information in the future?"

"That's true! No wonder these entertainment companies hate Xu Yi so much!"

The leading actor of this "Chinese Paladin 2" is naturally Hu Ge.

He is also the top star that Tangren is currently promoting.

But in terms of appearance, temperament and acting skills, he is definitely far inferior to Xu Yi.

The most important thing is that the level of costumes and makeup in "Chinese Paladin 2" is really not that good.

If there were no Xu Yi's "Chinese Paladin" and "Chinese Paladin 3".

Then the costumes and props of "Chinese Paladin 2" are barely acceptable.

But today's "Chinese Paladin" and "Chinese Paladin 3" have already spoiled the audience's tastes.

"Chinese Paladin 2" is a work from the same series as "Chinese Paladin" and "Chinese Paladin 3".

Naturally, they will be compared by the audience.

For a fantasy drama, the level of costumes and props is absolutely very important.

It is even more important than special effects and acting.

After all, special effects have a limited duration.

There is no strict standard for judging acting skills, as long as it is not too bad, it is fine.

But the audience can see the quality of the costumes and props at all times.

It is also easy to distinguish.

Therefore, if the level of costumes and props is not good, the quality of the drama will immediately drop by more than one level!
Unfortunately, it really costs money to improve the quality of costumes and props.

It's like improving the level of special effects.

The Tang people were obviously reluctant to spend too much money on this.

Moreover, Xu Yi’s "Chinese Paladin" and "Chinese Paladin 3" mainly focus on special effects.

Tangren naturally cannot be too lame in terms of special effects.

At least the 50-cent special effects are definitely not acceptable.

At least one dollar.

This way, there will be even less money left to spend on costumes and props!

As for the heroine of "Chinese Paladin 2", it is An Yixuan.

That is Lin Yueru, the second female lead in Xu Yi’s previous life’s “Chinese Paladin”.

However, An Yixuan is not an artist under Tangren.

There are no famous female artists under Tangren today.

This is also the reason why Tangren chose Liu Yifei to play Zhao Linger in Xu Yi's previous life.

At the same time, all the previous "No. 1 Sisters" under Tangren have one thing in common, that is, they have no ambition to succeed.

Some are particularly love-brained.

For example, the first generation of Tangren’s top actress was Hong Kong actress Guan Yonghe.

She signed the contract in 00 and got married in 03. The second generation's top sister, Sun Li.

She is the wife of the famous Chef Huang.

As soon as he entered Beijing Electric Power University, he was spotted by Chef Huang, who was a teacher at Beijing Electric Power University at that time.

Signed the contract in 99 and got married in 04.

She can be considered as Xu Yi's "master's wife".

It’s a pity that Xu Yi is not interested in her.

I don’t want to eat Chef Huang’s beans either.

The third-generation leader, Lin Jiayu, is from Taiwan.

Signed in 06 and terminated in 07.

He said he was going back to Taiwan to go to school.

The gossip is that she met a rich second-generation husband and is no longer in the entertainment industry.

The fourth generation's top sister is Liu Shishi, who has now been snatched away by Xu Yi.

As a result, she married an old man who was older than her father.

Fans of other female stars teased her that she had to provide for five elderly people by herself.

Other people’s husbands celebrate their birthdays, but her husband celebrates his big birthday.

His popularity plummeted.

Not to mention Nazar, the fifth generation's top sister.

A famous love-brained person in the entertainment industry.

So I don’t know if it’s because the Tang people had bad feng shui.

Or maybe Boss Cai just likes actresses like this...

However, the biggest problem with "Chinese Paladin 2" is actually the plot.

The plot of the game "Chinese Paladin 2" is so terrible that it is difficult to adapt it.

Otherwise, in Xu Yi's previous life, he wouldn't have filmed so many "Chinese Paladin" series, but not "Chinese Paladin 2".

The game "Chinese Paladin 2" was also a huge flop.

There aren't even many fans of the game.

At the same time, seeing the quality of "Chinese Paladin 2", Xu Yi couldn't help but feel a little bored.

He deliberately arranged for the rebroadcast of "Chinese Paladin 3" to be one day later than "Chinese Paladin 2".

It is to give "Chinese Paladin 2" room to perform.

Otherwise, when the ratings are bad, you can blame the audience for not giving you a chance.

Everyone went to watch "Chinese Paladin 3".

As it turned out, the Tangren company was indeed very petty.

It's useless even if I give him a chance.

Otherwise, if the quality of "Chinese Paladin 2" is really that awesome.

Then he will only be shooting himself in the foot.

But he also knew that this was impossible...

Then the next day, the ratings for "Chinese Paladin 2" came out.

The highest viewership rating on the first day reached 18%.

This viewership is definitely not low.

Unfortunately, the highest ratings were when the first episode was just aired.

In other words, the audience is attracted by the reputation of the "Chinese Paladin" series.

But the ratings went downhill after that.

After two episodes were aired, the average viewership rating dropped to only about 10%!

But to be honest, this viewership rating is not low either.

If "Chinese Paladin 2" can maintain this viewership rating, it might even be able to enter the top ten of the annual viewership rating.

That way you won't lose money.

There is also the possibility of making a small profit.

After all, there is only one fairy-tale drama nowadays, the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" series.

No matter how bad it is, there will always be an audience who will watch it.

Unfortunately, there is no such opportunity now.

That night, the TV stations in Shanghai, Province Z, and Province G.

They began to broadcast "Chinese Paladin 3" in different time periods.

Because the coverage of TV stations is limited.

This situation is also very common in today's era.

For example, Zhang Da Huzi's "The Return of the Condor Heroes" has been on the air for less than half a year.

It has been broadcast on nearly 40 TV stations.

There was also the previous "Chinese Paladin", which was also broadcast on several TV stations at the same time period.

What's more, Mango TV has always been the number one enemy of other TV stations.

If there is a chance, I definitely wouldn't mind joining us in the encirclement and suppression!
So another day passed, when the ratings were counted.

The ratings of Mango TV's "Chinese Paladin 2" have indeed dropped again.

And it’s a sharp decline.

From an average of around 10% on the first day, it dropped directly to below 5%!

However, on the same day, the ratings of "Chinese Paladin 3" broadcast on TV stations in Shanghai, Province Z, and Province G all exceeded 10%!

This is equivalent to a total viewership rating of over 30%!

Although it is not the same time period, it cannot be calculated in this way.

But this viewership rating is still terrifying.

Netizens were all shocked immediately!

"Damn, the gap is too big!"

"Chinese Paladin 2 is finished!"

"If Chinese Paladin 3 hadn't been re-broadcast at this time, the ratings for Chinese Paladin 2 wouldn't have been so bad."

"The popularity of Xu Yi alone in Chinese Paladin 3 is incomparable to that of Chinese Paladin 2! Not to mention the huge difference in quality!"

"The key is that Xu Yi is such a cunning guy. He waited until the premiere of Chinese Paladin 2 before selling the second round of broadcast rights."

"I'm sure that Tang Ren must have offended Xu Yi before."

"Xu Yi is not someone you can easily mess with. Tang Ren has hit a wall this time."

"Xu Yi is a truly ruthless guy. If he doesn't attack, it's fine. But once he does, he's determined to take Tang Ren's life! And he doesn't even pretend!"

"Xu Yi is clearly telling everyone not to mess with him, or else he will definitely retaliate if he gets the chance!"

"Hahahahahaha, now those entertainment companies that have blackmailed Xu Yi will probably have trouble sleeping!"
