Chapter 633 Preliminary Preparation
Chapter 633 Preliminary Preparation
At 8 o'clock in the evening, new dramas will premiere on multiple TV stations.
While Tangxing Entertainment was promoting itself, other media companies were also busy.
The fantasy drama "Picking Stars", co-produced by Baihua Media and Beizhou Entertainment, topped the hot search list three hours ago.
It is said that Nanzhou's Wansheng Media spent a whole year from planning to broadcasting the palace fighting drama "Apricot Blossom and Light Rain". Because the actors are big names enough, it has repeatedly appeared on hot searches with different topics.
Beizhou's Tianyuan Media has launched the company's first large-scale fantasy drama "Asking the Immortal". As the sixth largest entertainment company in Blue Star by market value, Tianyuan Media's actions themselves have attracted the most attention.
If the promotion time for "Asking the Immortal" had not been too short and Tianyuan Media had not invested too many promotional resources, other dramas might not have been as popular as they are now.
After Chang Yun sent the siblings home, they invited him to stay for dinner.
Without waiting for him to say goodbye and leave, Lu Wanxing pulled him into the home's audio-visual room.
"All the new dramas at home have started airing, why not watch them together?"
"Didn't Brother Yun say last time that uncle and auntie go to bed early and need some quiet time? It would be more convenient to watch them here."
With just a few words, Chang Yun was convinced.
After taking the juice handed to him by Lu Wanxing, Chang Yun lowered his head and browsed the trending searches on Weibo.
"Huh? I thought the top of the trending list would be "Picking the Stars." It's a co-production between the two companies, so it's quite popular."
"That happened a few hours ago," Lu Wantang said, "before we went to the airport."
"That's right, but now 'Asking the Immortal' is number one, which is also expected. As expected of Tianyuan Media, the top five of the list are all related topics, either about the director and actors, or about the characters."
Chang Yun clicked his tongue twice and continued to scroll. "Baihua Media is pretty good. Dongzhou's entertainment industry is relatively underdeveloped. Originally, the continents were interconnected, and I thought that the big companies like Times, Baihua, and Xingrui might shrink. In the end, Xingrui might be the better performer. I didn't expect Baihua to be the hidden talent."
Lu Wantang nodded: "That's because they've found the right position. The current president of Baihua Media is very capable."
Baihua originally focused on film and television dramas, but now it is constantly cooperating with large companies and has been committed to finding talented screenwriters. It can be said that it has forged its own path.
"It's a bit of a shame for Zhong Anqi. She's almost become a singer specializing in singing theme songs for TV dramas. Her songs are popular, but she herself is not as popular as before."
"Brother Yun, are you trying to poach people?" Lu Wanxing asked curiously.
“I kind of thought about it, but it didn’t work out.”
"Baihua treats Zhong Anqi well, so of course she won't change jobs easily."
Lu Wanxing and Zhong Anqi are quite familiar with each other and know what kind of people they are.
Seeing that the TV series was about to start, Lu Wantang brought the topic back on track:
"Which new drama do you think will have the highest ratings among those airing tonight?"
The three of them looked at each other and finally said in unison.
Lu Wanxing: "The Legend of the Condor Heroes!"
Lu Wantang and Chang Yun: "Asking the Immortal!"
Lu Wanxing was dumbfounded: "Why are the answers different? No, how can it boost others' ambitions and destroy my own prestige?"
Lu Wantang was speechless: "That's what I said, but it's better to be realistic."
Chang Yun echoed, "Yeah, don't you see how many TV stations "Asking the Immortal" premiered on? The ones at the top are all top TV stations in several continents."
"Don't say we can't compare to 'Asking the Immortal'." Lu Wantang said frankly, "We might be at the bottom."
"No way?" Lu Wanxing couldn't believe it. "Sister, please don't tell me off. I've read the script. The plot is so good, there must be a lot of people who like it. How come it has to be at the bottom?!"
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was the first martial arts script that Lu Wanxing read.
After watching it, he couldn't wait to watch the other three.
He knew better than anyone how different Lu Wantang's martial arts dramas were from his previous ones.
At the very least, he doesn't think it will be worse than those fantasy dramas or palace fighting dramas that focus on romance.
Seeing his brother's expression that said 'don't try to trick me', Lu Wantang couldn't help but raise his hand and rub his hair lovingly, using the same technique as rubbing a big dog.
"Silly child, a TV series isn't a movie. You can't just watch it for a while and jump straight to the climax. There always has to be some foreshadowing in the early stages."
Lu Wanxing understood.
"Then I'll help promote it."
As he spoke, he casually took a picture of the big screen in front of him, and did not forget to add a tag related to "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
If the two people next to him had not disagreed, he would probably have made some straightforward advertising slogans, such as asking fans to watch it, saying that it is the best martial arts drama, etc.
By the time he finished sending it, the TV commercial had finally ended.
"I vaguely remember the past, as if I had seen it before in a dream / my heart is filled with turmoil..."
The theme song of the TV series sounded.
The three of them fell silent at the same time.
At this moment, there are many people like them who are looking forward to the broadcast of this new martial arts drama.
Most of them are fans of Lu Wantang and artists under Tangxing Entertainment.
There are also some passers-by who believe in the reputation of Tangxing Entertainment.
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was only broadcast on Linhai Satellite TV and one local station in Nanzhou. Compared with "Asking the Immortal" which was broadcast simultaneously on dozens of TV stations, it was not worth mentioning.
So the audience base is not large.
But in martial arts-related forums, this drama has been a hot topic recently.
Before the show even started airing, people had already started threads discussing the plot.
When the first episode was aired, the protagonist was still in the belly.
This really surprised them.
If the introduction and cast list hadn't marked the male and female protagonists, they might not have known who the protagonist was.
However, the plot is very compact and the director shot it well, so no one felt that they couldn't continue watching because the protagonist appeared late.
In the next two episodes, the background of the story was basically revealed.
The audience has many speculations about the follow-up.
What people talked about the most was the character of the male protagonist.
[I thought that when a male protagonist appears in a martial arts drama, he is either a talent without any martial arts skills, or a mediocre one with only mediocre skills. But it turns out that he is just mediocre?]
[And it seems that the setting is not very smart, a bit silly]
Will there be a sudden adventure later on, and his talent improve? Will his simple and honest character instantly turn into a white-faced villain? Will he play the pig to eat the tiger? Will he finally become famous and win the beautiful woman? If so, then there's nothing interesting to watch.
[I'm a little unsure of the screenwriter's strategy, but it's been pretty good so far. The fighting scenes seem pretty good, much better than any martial arts drama I've seen.]
[From the beginning of the plot setting, it is different from other martial arts dramas. It starts with a chaotic world and the conflict between two countries. I feel that Lu Wantang will write something different.]
[The one in front is probably a prophet]
[I pondered for a long time who Lu Wantang was before I realized he was the screenwriter of this drama.]
[I really hope this drama can do well, otherwise no one will be willing to make martial arts dramas in the future]
