Chapter 142 A Strong Production Team, "Once Upon a Time"

"Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "The Legend of Immortal" collided and premiered on the same day.

TV series on Blue Star are usually broadcast on TV stations and online at the same time.

The preferred online platform is Kunlun, the largest video platform.

Not only did the two premiere dates collide.

Even the premiere platform was hit.

Both dramas chose to premiere in Kunlun.

"Legend of Sword and Fairy" is the first TV series produced by Big Fish Studio. Although Big Fish Studio has been in the limelight recently, it is just a studio after all, with not even more than ten employees.

Jiahua Entertainment is one of the three major entertainment companies and is a well-deserved entertainment giant.

Compared with Jiahua Entertainment, Big Fish Studio is far different in size and strength.

This can be seen in the investment in the two dramas.

The estimated cost of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is 90 million, which is less than 100 million.

Jiahua Entertainment's "The Road to Immortality" is planned to cost 400 million to produce!

In addition, the production team and cast of the two dramas are also very different.

Among the team of "Legend of Sword and Fairy", except for director Ye Chen and Hu Ge, who plays Li Xiaoyao, the other members are not very famous.

The lineup of "Xiantu" can be called luxurious.

Directed by veteran director Hu Chunsheng.

Hu Chunsheng's resume is quite impressive.

He has won many of Xia's most authoritative film and television awards.

Wanhua Award for Best Director, Shenlong Award for Outstanding Director, Shenlong Award for Best Film... He has won these awards more than once.

His work that won the Shenlong Award for Best Picture was "Immortal Gu", which is still regarded as a classic fairy tale movie.

Hu Chunsheng's reputation and status in the industry are not comparable to Ye Chen's.

The screenwriter of "The Road to Immortality" is Sun Ye, the gold medal screenwriter of Jiahua Entertainment.

Gold medal screenwriters and A-level gold medal creators have the same status.

He is definitely a distinguished person in the screenwriting profession.

In comparison, Ye Youshen, the screenwriter of "Legend of Sword and Fairy", is a bit lacking in weight.

Although Ye Youshen has written two popular novels, there are many novelists who switch to writing screenplays... After all, writing novels and writing screenplays are two different things. Yeyoushen can be described as a pure newcomer in the world of screenwriters.

In terms of cast, "The Road to the Immortal" stars popular young star Li Rui, powerful actress Yang Yan, and national actor Fu Qing, who has great acting skills.

In addition, there are also guest appearances by mixed-race Rose Wendy, drama character Tian Yu and others.

The lineup is quite strong.

Li Rui and Fu Qing are both Jiahua's cash cows.

Yang Yan is an artist from Star Media, one of the three major entertainment giants.

Wendy and Tian Yu have their own studios.

It can be seen that behind "The Path of Immortality" is not only the investment from Jiahua Entertainment, but also the co-production of Star Media, many artist studios, theaters, etc.

Behind this is a close-knit network of relationships.

Blue Star's major entertainment companies both compete and cooperate with each other. The competition is fierce, but of course the cooperation is also close. After all, many screenwriters do not limit their choice of characters to their own companies.

So on the surface, major entertainment companies are still friendly.

But there is no ambiguity or softness in grabbing land in private.

Take action when it's time to take action.

There are no permanent friends, and there are no permanent enemies... This sentence couldn't be more appropriate in Blue Star's entertainment industry.

Based on this background, the premieres of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "The Legend of Immortal" collided, immediately triggering heated discussions inside and outside the industry.

"Big Fish Studio's "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is a disaster this time. It premiered at the same time as "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", so the chances of it being thrown out are extremely high."

"It's better to change the premiere time of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" to avoid the spotlight for the time being."

""Legend of Sword and Fairy" is so unlucky! It happened to meet "The Legend of Immortal""

"The disparity in the production lineup is too big."

"Li Rui, Yang Yan, Fu Qing, Wendy, Tian Yu... any one of them can crush the cast of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" to death."

"In terms of scripts, although Ye Youshen is excellent at writing novels, there is no comparison with the veteran Sun Ye who has won the gold medal."

"Yeyoushen is a genius writer, even Shen Xiaolong was slaughtered. I think the script he wrote will not be bad. I'm looking forward to it! A must-see when it airs."

Most netizens believe that "Legend of Sword and Fairy" will most likely hit the streets this time.

Its director Ye Chen actually wants to postpone or advance the broadcast.

He's also a bit weak.

But this is a project of Big Fish Studio. Only Big Fish Studio can decide when it will be broadcast. He just hopes to lose miserably in front of "The Road to Immortality".

Ye Chen has complete confidence in the script.

I also have confidence in my directing skills.

But whether a drama can be popular depends on the script itself and the director's ability. In addition, the cast will also largely determine the final performance of a drama.

After all, popular actors still have a strong appeal to the audience.

Starting from the day it is scheduled to be broadcast,

The production team of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" was under great pressure.

…

On the other side, Zhou Lingyu has successfully joined Big Fish Studio.

What she didn't expect was that on her first day of employment, the company had already won an advertising order for her - a Wrangler automobile brand advertisement.

The advertising song "Wuma City" written by Xiaoyao for Wuma Motors has been adopted. Now she needs to write an advertising shooting plan and then form a shooting team to shoot the commercial.

Muma's appeal is simple: to shoot a set of commercials that can resonate with urban young people, especially urban white-collar workers.

After all, the main audience of Wuma is young people.

After communicating with Muma and understanding their demands, Zhou Lingyu began to complete the advertising plan.

At the same time, the department's recruitment information was also sent out.

"Listen to the song "Muma City" first." Zhou Lingyu thought to herself.

This Xiaoyao is so partial to his younger brother... But now that he has come to work at Dayu Studio, Teacher Xiaoyao has never been seen.

But listening to the songs sung by my brother Zhou You in Dayu Studio gives me a different feeling.

The feeling of fighting side by side with my brother!

come on!

Zhou Lingyu! You can make Big Fish Studio's advertising business prosperous.

After cheering herself up, she opened the song file of "Wrangling City".

"Walking around the streets and buildings, my heart is filled with horses and hunting grounds..."

Pictures of urban white-collar young people rushing in and out of office buildings come to mind.

In a hurry.

Busy.

In the end, I found myself doing nothing.

I have a lot of ideals...but I'm trapped in the urban forest.

right!

Urban forest! !

Such a creative concept immediately came to Zhou Lingyu's mind.

…

The three days of traveling back to Jinghai passed quickly.

The fifth episode of "Traveler" finally released its pilot film on July 30.

The fifth episode is the end of the journey to Uizang.

Director Wang Hou learned the lesson this time and seriously edited a one minute and thirty second pilot film.

In the pilot film, there are the starry sky of Mount Everest and the tip of the iceberg in Rizhao Jinshan; there are Kailash and Adiao; there are mulberry smoke and vultures, there are the desolate and vicissitudes of the Guge Dynasty ruins; there are also a group of people traveling around Namu Co and the three Jianke meet.

Only the part where he went on stage to sing "A Diao" was not included.

"Have Director Dog learned the lesson this time? Are you not a real man in three seconds?"

"All this without any footage of traveling and singing! Bad review!!"

"Damn it!! Is that Qian Qiuyuan, the third lowly guest? The three of them also ran to Weizang?"

"They were eating together, talking and laughing! They seemed to know each other very well."

"What's happening here?"

There was no traveling around singing this time.

But there are three cheap guests.

Prince deliberately cut out some of the interactions between the three lowly guests and Zhou You.

And these shots that he carefully edited left a broad space for the audience's imagination.

So much so that everyone is speculating on the relationship between Zhou You and Sanjian Ke.

It also whets the audience's appetite.

…

The performance of the show "Traveler" has been relatively stable.

Now, no matter whether the pilot film or the main film is updated, the playback volume is always 30 million times.

There was no pressure on the prince at all.

This is also another popular program on the Internet after "Heart Journey".

The popularity of "Traveler" also created many followers. In the entertainment industry, following trends is nothing new.

Nowadays, all major platforms and entertainment companies have launched similar travel programs.

But it is completely impossible to achieve the texture of "Traveler".

They try every means to invite female stars to join the show in order to differentiate themselves and gain traffic.

But none of them were as popular as "Travelers" in which Zhou You and Li Yan participated.

After all, these two people can always do something unexpected together.

The trailer for the fifth issue of "Traveler" has been released, which means that the fifth issue will be broadcast in three days.

The filming and production of the sixth episode of the program is imminent.

Wang Hou contacted Zhou You: "Teacher Xiaoyao, we will leave for Chang'an tomorrow. Is it OK with you?"

Zhou You: "No problem."

Prince: "Then I will send a car to pick you up tomorrow. Will it still be at the original address?"

Zhou You: "I've moved, um... I'll come and join you by myself." Zhou You lives in the Junting Villa, a super mansion worth over 100 million yuan, and asked the prince to pick him up. Zhou You was worried that he would be shocked. And Zhou You doesn’t want to be so high-profile.

Zhou You insisted on going there by himself, but the prince had no choice. All I had to say was meet at the airport.

Before hanging up the phone, Zhou You asked: "Didn't I say that a new travel companion would join? Who is it?"

The prince gave it a try: "They are already in Chang'an. I will know when I see you tomorrow."

Zhou You: "Them?"

Prince: "Yes, two people."

Zhou You: "Okay." I thought it was a threesome...but now it's a foursome.

Wang Hou: "Teacher Xiaoyao, we need to make a pilot film for our new journey. Currently, the only songs that I can express are "The Past You" and "Trouble Song", which are not enough. Do you have any new works in hand?"

Zhou You: "I'll send it to you later."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou You sent the three songs he had in his hand: "Great Rivers and Mountains", "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" and "Childhood".

These three songs may be useful.

"Wuma City" is Wrangler's advertising song and will definitely not be released. "Meet" is currently his own version, and he prefers to find a female singer to record and release it. "As Long as Ordinary" was prepared for "I'm Not the God of Medicine".

"Tomorrow is the 31st." Zhou You whispered as he looked at the calendar.

I originally wanted to wait for the Wuma brand advertisement to be released by the end of July, but now it is hopeless. It seems that tomorrow I will only release one song to make up for the shot!

Only in this way can you successfully break through 1,000 points!

Promoted to C-level creator when points are settled on August 1st.

Which song to release?

"Trouble Song", "The Past You", "Childhood"... Zhou You went through the unreleased works in his mind.

There was an intuition that told Zhou You that he should release "The Past You".

As for why, he couldn't tell.

But there is an intuition... maybe "The Time You Were" is similar to "Blue Lotus". Or maybe the journey to Uizang is over. This song is more in line with his current state of mind.

Send a message to the prince to say hello.

Zhou You then set up scheduled releases on the Yueting platform.

"Once Upon a Time" will be released on the 31st, that is, at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.

After setting up the scheduled release, Qian Qiuyuan sent the message using WeChat to Zhou You, not Xiaoyao.

Qian Qiuyuan: ""Summer Night Wind", this song has been changed a bit, and I am personally quite satisfied with it."

Zhou You: "Thank you, Teacher Qian."

Qian Qiuyuan: "My brother, you're welcome. I'll write two more songs for you later. You can ask Xiaoyao to write two more songs. We can put together an album. It's been so long since we debuted, it's time to release an album."

Zhou You: "Well...it depends on the situation." Qian Qiuyuan is more positive than myself.

Qian Qiuyuan: "You can't delay this matter, you have to strike while the iron is hot. Don't worry about the song, the second and third sons will also help you write it. While the heat is high, hurry up and become the king of Dangdang. Then we will drink you with Xiaoyao Celebration wine.”

After hearing this, I understand.

By co-authoring it, you just want to see Xiaoyao by changing the method.

Such a work of three cheap prostitutes... Zhou You is still a little bit embarrassed, but when I think about it carefully, it seems quite refreshing!

Zhou You: "Yeah, I'll make plans."

Qian Qiuyuan: "How many points does Xiaoyao have now?"

Zhou You: "More than 900."

Qian Qiuyuan: "Then he is not planning to become a C-level creator this month?"

Zhou You: "Come on. A new song will be released tomorrow."

Qian Qiuyuan: "Can you tell me first? I'm very strict with my words! It's strictly confidential."

Generally speaking, people who say they are strict will turn around and publicize the matter... It's not that Zhou You doesn't trust Qian Qiuyuan.

But it was inappropriate to send it to him.

You must know that in Qian Qiuyuan's eyes, Zhou You and Xiaoyao are two people... Zhou You also has to do a full set of tricks.

Zhou You said: "I'm sorry, Teacher Qian, I have to respect Teacher Xiaoyao in this matter."

Qian Qiuyuan: "That's okay. Then I'll wait to hear it tomorrow. I'm going to bed."

Zhou You: "Good money teacher."

Just as Zhou You was about to put down his phone, Qian Qiuyuan sent another message to Xiaoyao on Xia Guo Music Network.

Aren't you sleeping?

This feeling is like my girlfriend telling me good night when I went to bed, and then the next second she went to chat with other boys and had a lot of fun... Don't believe the good night of the person you were chatting with and went to take a shower with me.

…

Six o'clock the next morning.

A-level creator Jin Shengtang immediately opened the Yueting Music APP as soon as he opened his eyes.

This month he is hitting S-level creators.

He is already considered one of the last seniors among A-level creators.

He is only one spot away from being an S-level creator.

Three songs have been released this month!

"Far Far Away" released yesterday is the third song!

This song is also the last song in his hands.

It is also one of the best quality.

"Distant Distance" has been very strong since its release yesterday, and its ranking on the Pleasant New Songs Chart has risen rapidly!

Last night it shot up to second place.

The popularity gap between "Life is Like a Summer Flower" and "Life is Like a Summer Flower" is gradually narrowing, but he stayed up late last night writing songs and couldn't stand it any longer, so he had to sleep.

He writes songs very slowly!

Notoriously slow!

Like Qian Qiuyuan, he may sing one song every few days, or even one song a day.

But not Jinshengtang.

It takes him at least a week to write a song, sometimes a month, or even several months... He has a problem, he always likes to revise and revise what he writes.

And this modification process is very time-consuming.

Because he will always find something he is dissatisfied with.

Once you are not satisfied, you will revise it until you are satisfied, otherwise it will not be submitted and published... This may also be perfectionism or some kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Can you become an S-level creator in July?

Just look at the song "Far Far Away".

Because according to his calculations, currently, there is only one point left to successfully advance to S-level creator!

And this point can only be earned by "Far Far Away" from the second place on the list, surpassing "Life is Like a Summer Flower"!

so!

The first ranking this time is particularly important to Jinshengtang.

The first thing I do when I wake up is check the rankings!

NO.1 "Born Like a Summer Flower"

NO.2 "Far Far Away"

The former has a popularity of 99.99 million.

The latter has a popularity of 96.98 million.

"We're about to catch up!" Jin Shengtang said excitedly.

Although he was looking forward to waking up and seeing "Far Far Away" ranked first on the list, he successfully got the last point. His expectations were not fulfilled at this moment. But the gap has narrowed to 3 million hits, and it should be a sure thing to top the list today.

The transcendence can be completed as soon as twelve o'clock noon.

Why not just release a new song and earn those points directly?

Because I don’t have any songs in my hand.

Well...it's not that there are no songs, it's that there are no works that he is satisfied with. He is obsessive-compulsive! He would not release a song to the market until it was completely satisfactory to the audience.

This is his persistence!

It belongs to the perseverance of a craftsman.

Therefore, even if he has works in hand, he will not allow himself to send them out casually to earn points... He regards his reputation and the quality of his works as more important than his own life.

During the prince's time, he would check the list ranking and popularity every one or two minutes.

The good news is that the popularity of "Distant Distance" is catching up with "Life is Like a Summer Flower".

The gap is shrinking over time.

His heart became more and more happy.

now,

In the "Master Per Capita" group, A-level creators are discussing Jin Shengtang's promotion to S-level creators.

The "Masters per Capita" group is a group created by A-level creators.

All A-level creators are in the group.

Everyone chats, communicates, and sometimes exchanges the resources in their hands. Everyone helps each other. There's not a lot of hostility.

But competition is still competition!

There are many challenges and PKs in the group.

"The Holy Church's promotion to S-class creator this month has been confirmed."

"It should be able to surpass "Life is Like a Summer Flower" at the top of the list this afternoon."

"Another big boss is about to be promoted!! When can I be promoted to S-level creator?"

"Congratulations to the Holy Church in advance!"

"Remember to treat guests to the church!"

"You can just send a big red envelope in the group without inviting guests."

Everyone is paying attention to the ranking changes on the Yueting New Song Chart, and everyone hopes to witness Jinshengtang’s online ascent!

S-level creators are called masters.

Also known as the Great God.

Therefore, successful promotion is also called "ascension".

The time soon came to ten o'clock.

"Once Upon a Time" will be released on time!

5000 word chapter. Asking for a monthly pass, asking for a monthly pass, asking for a monthly pass.

Just update it today. The condition is too bad. This book pursues good writing, not fast writing. But the monthly updates remain at more than 240,000 words. This is my bottom line. It’s just that there may be less updates on some days and more updates on some days. It depends on my status.
