Unboxing, Director!

Chapter 97 Two Great Dramas, Pan-Asian Ambition
After all the main creators of "Meteor Garden" appeared, the scene was no longer Lu Jiang's concert, but a special feature of "Meteor Garden".

Lu Jiang also took the opportunity to chat with everyone about related topics.

It’s still the same strategy anyway.

I didn't expect it to be popular, it was just a practice, I'm flattered and so on.

While they were joking around, Deng Chao was also given enough time to go down and solve the problem.

Wait for the treasure chest to drop and Deng Chao to come back.

Lu Jiang then began to sing.

The first song to be sung is naturally "Meteor Shower".

This song was not the opening or ending theme song in the original "Meteor Garden 1 and 2", and it never appeared in the film. It only appeared in the first album after the first episode of the drama ended and F4 was formed.

This also made old fans of the drama very regretful, after all, the song and the drama are indeed a perfect match.

Fortunately, it is not the case now. In addition to various versions of the works, the golden work "Meteor Garden" also gave F4 album songs. Lu Jiang of course had to put this song in, so now this song will be intertwined with "Love Is Not a Choice" to become the opening song.

Then the song started.

For the first time, the audience sang "Meteor Shower" in chorus.

This made the fans from other places who followed him envious again.

After all, I had listened to it many times before and just thought it sounded nice, without any other factors adding to the mix. Unlike the locals now, they sing it with much more joy.

So many people decided not to go back tomorrow and stay another night to see what the show was like at night.

After the song was finished, Lu Jiang asked Fan Binbin to come on stage.

Fan Binbin has also been following Lu Jiang in concerts. He was responsible for the "da da da" several times before. He only sang "The Love You Want" once in Xiamen, and the response was not surprising, after all, he was not famous.

But now it’s different. After a song is finished, the fans shout “Shancai”.

Fan Binbin even heard someone shouting "Come on, Bingbing!"

The sound was quickly drowned out by other sounds.

But Fan Binbin heard it.

How could she bear this?

Ever since her breakup with Qiong Yao, she has been holding on.

Now, after more than half a year of silence, the shackles of "Golden Lock" are suddenly about to break, and some people even shouted "Come on" to his face. Fan Binbin almost couldn't hold back his tears on the spot.

Fortunately, this emotion has not reached its peak yet, because she knows that this is just the beginning.

It won't be too late to cry when the shackles are truly broken.
After the two songs, the fans who knew about "Meteor Garden" at the scene were happy, but the feelings of the rest of the audience also had to be taken into consideration.

Lu Jiang simply released "Love Is Not a Choice" directly.

And indicated that this is a new song.

Lu Jiang’s new song?
Isn’t this the same treatment as the BJ, Hefei and Hangzhou concerts?

So the new songs are good, and you have to listen to them.

Now everyone is satisfied.

The concert is over.

When the group left, fans still surrounded the shuttle bus to see them off.

But unlike previous times, the shouting was no longer the unified "Lu Jiang".

Instead, it has a lot of F4 elements.

This time, Deng Chao and others were no longer bystanders.

For a moment, they were at a loss, and just waved and nodded mechanically in the car, fearing that they would disappoint their fans.

Even after returning to the hotel, these people were still feeling dizzy and didn't know what to do next.

The situation was completely different from that during the day, and far worse than when we were surrounded yesterday.

However, Fan Binbin quickly adjusted his state.

She only cares about one thing now, and that is whether she sings well.

"Of course it's good, but it's a little tight. It will be fine after some practice."

Lu Jiang told the truth.

After all, Fan Binbin's vocal quality is not as good as Penny Dai's, but this version of "The Love You Want" already has her flavor.

It's just a little bit lacking and needs to be more relaxed.

Fan Binbin knew this, so she continued, "I actually have a question I've always wanted to ask you."

"what is the problem?"

"I have no choice. When was it written?" Fan Binbin's beautiful eyes moved.

The line in the lyrics, "It's hard to forget the first time I saw your charming eyes," is worth savoring.

Lu Jiang: "Why are you asking this?"

"I just want to know."

"About the first half of the year."

"Tough mouth!"

"nerve!"

Lu Jiang laughed and scolded.

She has done everything, and she still has to be ambiguous. Forget it, if she likes to create an atmosphere, then just go along with her.

After all, when Binbin gets into shape, he is more attractive than usual.
"98, are you satisfied?"

"I knew it!"

Bingbing happily pressed up and turned into Shuishui
The clouds cleared and the rain stopped, and Lu Jiang began to search the box.

This time I got two blue treasure chests at once.

From Qiao Zhenyu's "Auspicious Start" and Deng Chao's "Pee".
Deng Chao might have prostatitis. We need to remind him to get treatment. F4's popularity is spreading, and their performances are becoming more and more frequent. What should we do if this happens every time they go on stage?

Lu Jiang quickly sent a text message to remind them. Suddenly, Qiao Zhenyu and Yu Bo burst into laughter from Deng Chao's room not far away.
Turning around, Lu Jiang aimed his sights at the "Auspicious Start" treasure chest.

Since it is a good start.

"Then give me a good start!"

With a thought, a blue light flashed.

"Full House" appeared before my eyes.

Lu Jiang was a little surprised.

He knew this drama, it was a very popular Korean drama.

It was played by Rain and that guy.

Look at the results again:

The drama was broadcast on KBS TV in South Korea, with a peak viewership rating of over 40% and an average viewership rating of approximately 31.9%, making it one of the highest-rated TV dramas in South Korea in 2004.

After being broadcast in Asian countries and regions such as China, Japan, the Philippines, and Thailand, the ratings remained high, especially in China and Southeast Asia, where it triggered a viewing craze.

It's a phenomenon, too.

But why is it blue? After reading the introduction of Gold Finger, Lu Jiang understood.

the reason is simple.

In terms of performance, compared to "Meteor Garden", it lacks a little bit of dominance.

The ratings are high, yes, but not extremely high.

Just like "My Love from the Star" and "Meteor Garden", it had extremely high online ratings and was unrivaled at the time. It was also undisputedly popular across Asia. However, "Full House" was a little bit inferior.

There are also differences in the historical significance of the series.

"Meteor Garden" is the first truly phenomenal Asian idol drama, which has influenced the creation of countless subsequent idol dramas and is regarded as the pioneering work of Asian idol dramas.

"Full House" is more about consolidating the status of Korean Wave and is a milestone in the popularity of Korean Wave in Asia.

The same goes for the promotion of the leading actors.

"Meteor Garden" made four 4th-tier actors become top idols in Asia, and the heroine also became a well-known Asian actress from a small star.

"Full House" allowed Rain to successfully transform from a singer to an actor, becoming a top star in Asia, and allowed Song Hye Kyo to consolidate her status as the "Korean Wave Goddess".

One is from 0 to 1, and the other is "consolidation", and the two are a little different in meaning in all aspects.

So if you really want to say it, "Full House" is actually quasi-purple.

But it doesn’t matter.

As long as it works.

With "Full House", Lu Jiang can further transform after Daomingsi and continue to be a top star in Asia. Fan Binbin can also consolidate his position after "Shancai" and may even become a "Chinese goddess" like Song Hye Kyo.

not bad!
Then Lu Jiang continued to look at Deng Chao’s “pee” blue treasure chest.

No hesitation, just turn it on.

With a flash of blue light.

"The Best Under Heaven" appeared before my eyes.

Woc!

He loves this drama so much!

Eunuch Cao. No, why is my first reaction to think of Eunuch Cao?

Shaking his head, Lu Jiang quickly read the introduction.

Yield: 413%
Ratings: During the broadcast period, the ratings remained at the top, especially in the southern region.

Replay rate: Due to its compact plot and strong cast, the drama was replayed many times in the following years and still maintained a high viewership popularity.

There is no phenomenal record.

But it’s already very good, and it can be considered a great drama.

Lu Jiang immediately realized the compatibility between this drama and the current Deng Dynasty.

In the original version of "Hulong Villa", there are four secret agents from Tiandi Xuanhuang, three men and one woman. Wouldn't it be perfect for Deng Chao and others to play the three men?

Among these three people, Yu Bo and Qiao Zhenyu were originally chosen ancients.

They are most charming when acting in ancient costumes.

The three of them have good potential in acting, and they will definitely be able to perform very well. At least they will be much better than the original "soft rice brother" and others.

Deng Chao played the emperor in the original version. If his character is not suitable, it can be slightly adjusted, which is not a big problem.

Or you don’t have to match them one by one, just put F3 in there, and you don’t have to worry about popularity. It will be an enhanced version that can surpass the original and become popular in Southeast Asia and East Asia.

Taking advantage of the upcoming popularity of F4, it is just the right time to film this.

And this is also related to Lu Jiang’s plan for Deng Chao and the other two.

After all, idol dramas are not up to standard.

Lu Jiang himself doesn’t care, as he is still a director.

After the dividends are received in a few days, the golden finger will also be upgraded and the movie function will be unlocked soon.

Just one great film can immediately wash away the negative impression.

Deng Chao and the others are actors after all. Lu Jiang would feel bad if he really tied them to "idols" like F4.

So this drama came at the perfect time!

Of course there are problems.

"Number One Under Heaven" required huge investment.

At least 30 million is the starting point.

The shooting is also difficult, after all, action scenes are not something that can be shot casually.

But it's not a big problem, these can always be overcome.

After the Guangzhou concert, Lu Jiang continued his tour.

After Lu Jiang and F4's debut, the sales of "Beautiful Countryside" in Guangzhou increased significantly.

Guangdong and Guangxi regions are the backyard of Hong Kong singers, so Wang Jie, who is currently competing against Lu Jiang, has the best performance of his new album in the mainland, which poses a great threat to Lu Jiang.

Now that Lu Jiang has done this, Wang Jie's advantage has been further compressed.

At this point, Lu Jiangxin’s album has completely dominated sales in the mainland.

Unfortunately, Taiwan is somewhat powerless this time.

Fortunately, "Meteor Garden" has begun to gain momentum.

Let it reap the Taiwan market.

Three weeks later, after five weeks of release in mainland China, Lu Jiang's new special release had sales of 68, much less than the same period last year.

The physical record industry is really not doing well.

Fortunately, everyone knows about this, and Lu Jiang’s main battlefield has begun to shift.

On that day, the premiere of "Meteor Garden" on Macau Channel ended.

The Golden Finger's record inheritance has officially entered the second stage: it was broadcast in many countries, topping the ratings and triggering a meteor shower phenomenon.

Macau called to report the results as soon as possible.

Currently, four regions, including the Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia, have entered the final negotiation stage for the introduction of the series.

The price is a small matter; what is important is to finalize the support for subsequent local performances.

It is inherently harder for mainland artists to go global than those from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

In addition to the issue of popularity, there is also a lack of precedent for in-depth cooperation.

So this time, Lu Jiang personally blazed a trail to Southeast Asia.

Once the series becomes popular after it’s aired, follow up with subsequent performances and operate in depth.

Markets in Southeast Asia and other places will be open to him within a certain period of time.

This will greatly facilitate the local output of Dawn Breaking Films' future works.

In other words, after "Meteor Garden", Dawn Pictures' market started at the pan-Asian level.

By then, all the stars produced by Dawn will be Asian stars.
