Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong
Chapter 581 Ratings Soar
If you really push him too far, he can wipe any giant off the map completely.
Awai, Penguin, Jingxi, Rice Ball... These behemoths appear to be impenetrable on the surface, but in reality, they can fall apart with a single push.
In the stock market, the intelligent program "Xiaobai" is invincible.
The software it wrote is incomprehensible to Beijing, untouchable by Tencent, and completely irrelevant to Alibaba.
For Xiaobai, who constantly reinvents himself, making movies and TV series is as easy as cooking.
To put it more bluntly: cutting off your internet or messing up your database is just a matter of typing a few keys for it.
Of course, Lin Quan wasn't that crazy. He didn't hack the system or launch any illegal attacks.
At most, let the newbies dabble in the capital market a few times, make enough money, and then use real money to take down their opponents one by one.
After the team was assembled, Lin Quan began casting.
"Leung Lit, a patriotic star from Hong Kong Island, is perfect for the role of Robot Man; Sun Yaoyang is the most suitable to play Sun Shixiong, the leader of the martial arts alliance."
He spread out paper and pen, quickly made a list, and had the production crew contact them one by one.
After more than half a month of work, the cast for the first season of "Superpowers" has been finalized.
More than a dozen artists who longed to work in China but had long been without acting opportunities became the first batch of leading actors.
"Have you heard? Chung Kwok-hung, the original author of 'Superpowers,' is personally directing, and the cast has already been decided."
"Chung Kwok-hung has no problem writing the plot, but how will it turn out on screen? I'm not sure."
"The news has spread—Leung Litt will play the robot hero, and Roy Suen will play Sun Sai-hung..."
"My characters, Diba, Guza, and Dami, haven't even received audition notices. I resolutely boycott 'Superpowered'!"
"Even an older woman like Liu Yan got into the cast, why didn't I get any rice?"
"Isn't Da Mi just an old lady? Take it or leave it, I'm going to watch the TV series."
"I wonder if Chung Kwok-hung's 'The Superpowered' will feature characters who turn into horses out of their inner energy?"
The first season of "Superpowers" is currently being filmed at the Tiantaishan film set.
"You are now the unparalleled leader of the martial arts world... Your movements should be like this."
Lin Quan shouted "Stop!" and stepped forward to demonstrate for Sun Yaoyang.
The action director stood at a distance, his expression frozen.
The director's movements were even more precise, natural, and powerful than what he had taught.
"It's alright." Lin Quan nodded.
Filming was done in segments, with one episode per day for the first few days.
One week later, there were two episodes per day.
In a few days, it will jump to three episodes a day.
All the actors, even the worst ones, were still quite good.
In just one month, all eighty episodes of the first season of "Superpowers" were filmed.
Lin Quan treated the whole team to a meal and let Xiao Bai handle the entire process.
After watching the finished product, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and he felt at ease.
"Actually, you don't need real people at all—Xiao Bai can handle the whole show on his own."
The 50 million yuan spent on special effects and post-production, after several rounds of adjustments by Xiaobai, ultimately went into his stock account.
Two weeks later, Lin Quan, together with senior executives of Origin Chinese Network, invited representatives from local TV stations and mainstream video platforms to watch the first three episodes of the first season of "Superpowers".
"This level of quality is so consistent! The pacing is brisk, the tension is intense, and it's impossible to stop watching."
"This is a new benchmark for domestically produced dramas. Which special effects team did it? It's amazing!"
After the three episodes aired, Lin Quan hosted the auction for the first broadcast rights.
"The first-run broadcast rights for television stations start at one million yuan per episode."
"The capital city's capital, 1.2 million."
"Zhejiang Prefecture, 1.3 million."
……
"Lake Prefecture, eight million."
"Zhejiang Prefecture, 8.8 million."
"Any higher bids? Eight million eight hundred thousand! First bid—second bid—third bid, sold!"
The first broadcast rights for a single episode were sold for 8.8 million yuan, and the total transaction amount for the entire season of 80 episodes reached 704 million yuan.
"Exclusive broadcasting rights on the online platform for one year, starting bid two million yuan." Lin Quan smiled slightly.
"Aiyi, 2.1 million."
"Potatoes, three million."
……
"Penguin, 20 million."
"Any higher bids? Fifteen million! First bid—second bid—third bid, sold!"
The video platform sold its annual broadcasting rights for 1.6 billion yuan.
A single episode can fetch over 20 million, which was rare a few years ago.
Representatives from various stations and platforms left the venue one after another.
The heads of Zhejiang TV and Tencent Penguin Pictures remained on site to continue reviewing all 76 episodes of the sample footage.
They insisted on confirming that the quality of the entire season would remain consistent with the first three episodes before they would sign the agreement and complete the payment.
After watching all the content overnight, the two parties signed the contract and transferred the money on the spot.
Linquan and Origin Chinese Website will split the profits according to the agreed ratio.
Since the year before last, film and television dramas have fully implemented a dual-track system of "self-review + random inspection". Any content violations will be investigated and the responsibility will be traced back to the bottom.
According to his share of investment, Lin Quan received 1.6128 billion yuan.
After deducting 20% VAT, Da Hong Studio's account saw an increase of over 1.29 billion yuan.
Three days later at 8 pm, the first episode of the first season of "Superpowers" premiered on Zhejiang TV.
Many readers of the original work had been waiting in front of their televisions, holding their breath in anticipation.
"Holy crap, who did the special effects? They're even better than North American blockbusters!"
"It's even more captivating than theatrical films; if it were shown on the big screen, it would absolutely blow the audience away."
"I never expected that Zhong Da Shen, who became a legend in writing books, would also be so hardcore in making TV dramas."
"Only two episodes? What's next? Please release more episodes!"
After the two episodes aired, thunderous applause and cheers filled the Zhejiang TV studio.
The viewership ratings far exceeded expectations, and GG's advertising slots are already fully booked ahead of schedule.
At midnight the following day, the first two episodes of "Superpowers" were simultaneously released on Tencent Video.
Many viewers who are used to watching on mobile devices took out their phones and started playing.
"With more than two months until the Spring Festival, will the second season's 80 episodes be ready?"
With nothing else to do, Lin Quan casually dialed the Origin Chinese website's number.
Three days later, casting for the second season of "Superpowers" began.
Sun Yaoyang, Leung Lit and others flew from Hong Kong Island to Haizhou again.
The character settings for the second season are basically the same as those for the first season, with only minor adjustments.
After finalizing the cast of over thirty actors, the production team quickly began filming.
One episode per day in the early stages;
One week later, the update speed was increased to two episodes per day;
In a few more days, we will be able to consistently shoot three episodes a day.
"Liu Yan, when the Red-Clad Queen unleashes her lightning strike, her wrist should sink three-tenths of its weight; the point of force should be here—"
Lin Quan frowned and stepped forward to personally demonstrate the key movements of Liu Yan, who plays the Queen in Red.
In the drama, the red-clad queen specializes in lightning-based superpowers.
Liu Yan, who is in her early forties, is in excellent condition and looks no more than thirty.
She has a full and shapely figure, and a beautiful and gentle face, just like a ripe peach.
A faint fragrance wafted nearby, warming Lin Quan's heart slightly, but he remained calm, focusing solely on explaining the practical logic of releasing fourth-order lightning-type abilities in combat.
In the world he created, martial artists were divided into nine levels, superhumans into nine ranks, and even the technology tree was subdivided into nine levels.
Another two weeks later, filming wrapped up for the second season of "The Superpowers".
As usual, Lin Quan treated all the main creators and core crew to a celebratory banquet.
Perhaps feeling suffocated, Liu Yan drank a bit too much that night.
As the director, Lin Quan was toasted quite a few times by the group of people.
