This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 461, "Soldiers' Assault," premieres.

Xu Gaomin laughed and said, "I saw Lu Ran's Weibo post, something about how the greatest heroes are those who serve their country and its people. Perfect, Xue Ren Nu Hu is also serving his country and its people."

Xu Gaomin didn't care at all.

So what if "Soldiers Sortie" is broadcast on CCTV? Their broadcasting platform is no slouch either.

If Lu Ran himself had starred in "Soldiers Sortie," Xu Gaomin wouldn't be so confident.

Lu Ran's popularity speaks for itself.

But "Soldiers Sortie" stars Wang Peng, so that's a different story.

What level is Wang Peng?
When this name is revealed, many people will ask, who is Wang Peng?

He has no representative works and is not handsome.

In Xu Gaomin's opinion, Wang Peng's acting skills are definitely good enough for supporting roles, but he's not suited for leading roles.

Casting an actor like this as the lead in a military drama makes Lu Ran look like he has some serious illness.

Even the supporting actors are more handsome than Wang Peng.

"Then it's up to you."

Sheng Xie hung up the phone with a laugh. When he checked Weibo again, Qi Jia's fans were still attacking him, questioning why he had taken a picture of Qi Jia that made her look worse than a driver.

A nameless anger suddenly surged up in Sheng Xie.

He sent a message directly to Qi Jia's agent.

"Take Qi Jia to my room!"

The next day, thanks to Lu Ran's opportunistic marketing tactics, "Soldiers Sortie" also stayed on the trending topics list for a while.

This drama is backed by the Red Star Art and Culture Center and is also a centennial commemorative series, giving it some special promotional resources.

But no matter what, this kind of promotion is still far inferior to the promotion of popular dramas.

Those high-profile dramas, especially those with high project levels, can cost tens of millions just for publicity and distribution.

No matter how extravagant "Soldiers Sortie" is, it's impossible for them to spend tens of millions on promotion and distribution before the show even airs.

From the very beginning, the promotion of this drama was done online by director Liu Dayong and a group of actors, along with some trailers and interviews with CCTV.

It's still far from being as widely known as "Snow Blade and Furious Tiger" as it is.

Time flew by, and the next day arrived quickly; it was September 27th.

The official Weibo account of "Soldiers Sortie" released the final trailer.

The netizens who were tricked by Lu Ran didn't really feel anything after watching the trailer.

"I really can't stand watching Wang Peng play the lead role."

“I really can’t connect our People’s Liberation Army soldiers with his face.”

"I'll only take a look because of the screenwriter, Director Lu. If it's not good, I won't continue watching."

On Earth, when "Soldiers Sortie" first aired, it wasn't popular at all; in fact, its ratings were quite poor.

It later became popular after being broadcast on another TV station.

At the beginning of the series, Xu Sanduo's appearance was indeed not very appealing to the audience.

However, this drama itself is not a fast-paced, enjoyable show; it's the kind of show that gets better with time.

And time has proven everything.

Even after twenty years, this show continues to influence many people.

Meanwhile, Luo Kai, the lead actor of "Snow Blade and Furious Tiger," is in a hotel.

He has been busy with the promotion and distribution of the TV series lately.

His agent sent him a message.

"Should we let the fans go and watch Soldiers Assault?"

Luo Kai wields immense power within the company and can make decisions on many matters independently.

Fan wars are commonplace in the entertainment industry.

Especially dramas that air at the same time.

But Luo Kai broke out in a cold sweat after seeing those words.

"Tell the fans to do nothing. They are not allowed to criticize Soldier Sortie, Lu Ran, or any of the actors in the show."

Luo Kai called his agent directly and gave him serious instructions on these matters.

"it is good."

Without wasting any words, the agent proceeded directly according to Luo Kai's plan.

"Charging into the Soldier Assault? I must be crazy to do that. Do you think I don't know what Snowblade and Angry Tiger are?"

Luo Kai was quite serious when filming this drama, but as filming progressed, he sensed something was wrong.

There's something wrong with the script for this drama. But he's just a junior in front of Xu Gaomin; after his suggestions were rejected, he didn't offer any more.

The current situation for this show is that a group of people are waiting for it to become a huge hit.

Luo Kai guessed that some of the people here shared his thoughts.

It's not that people don't know how bad this show is, it's just that at this point, we have to win!

No one is allowed to talk about failure.

Even if the data isn't good, we have to artificially inflate it.

Luo Kai is currently in a state of painful torment.

He knew that after the show aired, he would be torn to shreds by the critics on K-site and his public image would continue to deteriorate, but there was nothing he could do about it.

This despair made him lose interest in everything he did.

Around 6 p.m., Luo Kai declined the dinner invitation and returned to his hotel alone. After having his agent order takeout, he sat on the sofa, boredly watching the dark television.

After the takeout arrived and he finished eating, Luo Kai simply turned on the TV and started watching.

"How about I watch Soldiers Sortie?"

As it was almost eight o'clock, Luo Kai switched the TV channel to the CCTV drama channel.

At exactly 8 o'clock, the first episode of "Soldiers Sortie" officially began airing.

Luo Kai patiently watched the opening sequence.

The style of this drama is clearly different from that of his previous work, "Snow Blade and Angry Tiger".

The opening sequence also has a more somber and serious style.

In that magnificent instrumental music, each warrior seemed like a sharp sword, carrying a sharp edge.

"This is the kind of play I want to act in."

What garbage was his performance in "Snow Blade and Furious Tiger"?!
As the scenes unfolded, Luo Kai watched with exceptional focus.

But after seeing Wang Peng's face, he felt it still wasn't quite right.

How can the main character have this face? It doesn't have the characteristics of a main character.

"I wish I could play the lead role."

Shortly after, the opening credits ended and the main feature began.

The first episode begins by telling the story of Xu Sanduo and his comrades carrying out a mission.

This story uses a flashback narrative; at this point, Xu Sanduo is already a soldier.

At the end of the mission, Xu Sanduo fell from a height to cover his comrades' retreat, and his thoughts returned to his childhood.

And so the story officially begins.

The story here takes place in the countryside and tells the story of Xu Sanduo's childhood.

Xu Sanduo's father always thought his third son, Xu Sanduo, was a good-for-nothing.

Xu Sanduo's father hoped that his son could join the army. His eldest and second sons could not join the army for various reasons, so his last hope rested on Xu Sanduo.

Luo Kai watched with great interest.

He likes this feeling.

Later, when Shi Jin arrived in the village and Cheng Cai appeared, Luo Kai's eyes lit up.

"Xu Sanduo is not suitable for me, but I can play this role."

Before he knew it, Luo Kai had watched the first episode to the end.

Shi Jin stayed at Xu Sanduo's house for dinner after being persistently pestered by Xu Sanduo's father.

This part may seem to slow down the pace of the story, but in reality, without this part that shapes Shi Jin and Xu Sanduo, many of the emotions in the later plot would not be able to be expressed.

Shi Jin saw himself in Xu Sanduo; he was a ray of light, warming those around him.

At this moment, the end credits music for the TV series began to play.

Luo Kai's phone rang.

Upon seeing that it was Xu Gaomin calling, Luo Kai quickly answered the phone.

"Hello, Director Xu."

"After our first episode airs, don't forget to post a Weibo."

At that moment, Xu Gaomin heard music coming from his phone.

"What are you looking at?"

Luo Kai felt a sense of unease at being caught cheating, so he quickly grabbed the remote and turned off the TV. He then said, "I wasn't watching anything, just some random stuff on TV."
