Chapter 144: "The Best in the World" premieres!
The answer to the mystery will eventually be revealed on July 1st .
Before July 1st, there was a lot of gossip about the cast and crew of "Legend of Wu Yue".
It seems that Lizhi TV is very unconvinced and still wants to determine the final winner in the field of TV dramas.
By this time, everyone knew that Lizhi TV had already lost two of the three games.
Mango TV relied on the stable ratings of "Happy Family" and lost one and tied one in the three rounds. It will depend on whether it can win the last round.
The real drama of the year.
At this time, it is normal to have scandals.
The most bizarre thing is that the actor who plays King Goujian of Yue in "The Legend of Wu and Yue", Yu Zhongyou, who is already 42 years old, is also rumored to have an affair.
#Yu Zhongyou meets a mysterious woman in a hotel late at night#
#Yu Zhongyou secretly meets Luo Xiyuan in a hotel late at night#
#Luo Xiyuan posted an explanation#
#Informed sources revealed#
Yu Zhongyou is 42 years old, but he only became famous five years ago, so his acting skills and popularity are still very high, not inferior to the first-line actors in their thirties, and there are also many memes about him on the Internet.
No one expected that such an old cadre could be involved in scandals.
Luo Xiyuan's age this year is only 26.
Soon, someone started to dig up Luo Xiyuan's age.
It turns out that eight years ago, after Luo Xiyuan debuted, she started playing mature women.
The news at that time said Solo Hee-won was 26 years old.
She wasn't popular at the time.
Three years ago, when Luo Xiyuan became an overnight sensation, her age on the encyclopedia was changed to 23, so she is 26 years old this year, but actually 34 years old.
This is too ridiculous. However, although Luo Xiyuan is not particularly popular, she is not a first-line actress.
But that face is still good-looking, so the onlookers felt torn as to how a young and beautiful girl could be in a relationship with Yu Zhongyou, and the scandal became more popular.
However, it was all in vain.
June 30th, close to July 1st.
Ye Manyi and Tang Zhou went on a trip to the South China Sea island together and were photographed by netizens.
Directly ranked first in the hot search.
Ye Manyi is one of the four young actresses. Now she is not only filming TV series, but also movies. Her popularity is very high.
Tang Zhou is the new TV King and one of the few young actors with good acting skills.
Although this pair was rumored to be in a relationship during the filming of the drama and has already made it official, they have not shown their affection much and have not been photographed together by netizens.
This time, their combined appearance caused an immediate explosion in popularity, sweeping the top of the hot search list.
At this moment, unless An Lan and Han Zhou officially announce their relationship, or another one of the four little beauties officially announces their relationship, it will be impossible to suppress the popularity of Ye Manyi and Tang Zhou.
You can't beat the quality of the play.
You can’t beat me when it comes to gossip and hot searches.
Playing with gossip, huh?
It really has nothing to do with you.
Zhao Ziyu, the actress who played Liu Sheng Piao Xu, is a female star who only made her debut in movies. She was interviewed about her criteria for choosing a partner while participating in a variety show.
Zhao Ziyu said bluntly: "People like Wu Li."
The hot search ended late at night on June 30th and directly entered the top ten hot searches.
Early in the morning of July 1st, a parent-child variety show officially announced that Luo Daming will participate with his son.
If that were all, it wouldn't be easy to connect it with "The World's Number One".
However, later, netizens revealed that when the parent-child program that Luo Daming participated in was filmed in Yundian Province, netizens also photographed Wang Mingyuan loving Nanchang.
On the one hand, the two collaborated again on a variety show after "Real Challenge".
On the other hand, their current TV series "The Best Under Heaven" will be launched soon, which will generate another wave of popularity.
If that were all, then the day's melon-eating would be over.
Then the official of "Real Challenge" announced that the new season of "Real Challenge" has begun planning. Unfortunately, An Lan has withdrawn from the team and will be replaced by Liu Xi, one of the four young actresses born in the 2000s.
The hot searches one after another may seem mindless, but in fact they follow a certain pattern.
After Han Zhou's withdrawal, the ratings of "Real Challenge" dropped significantly.
The variety show director of Shanghai TV chose to leave and became the deputy director of Chongqing TV.
Deputy Director Yuan took over the variety show affairs. This time, the news was released on July 1st, and he was not asked to do so.
Deputy Director Yuan is a very calculating person. He knows that if he reveals the news at this time, not only will he not offend Han Zhou and An Lan, but he will also gain a favor.
The scandal that Lizhi TV has been hyping up for so long is now completely ruined.
During the daytime on June 30th and July 1st, news about the crew members of "The World's Number One" dominated the hot searches.
However, all the scandals are actually not as important as the most significant action.
July 1st is a special day, our party’s birthday.
The news broadcast on July 1st lasted for forty-five minutes.
At the end, the female anchor turned the page of the manuscript in front of her and said:
"Today, the annual drama tribute, good dramas are endless. After the weather forecast, CCTV's prime time "Number One Under Heaven" will premiere at 8 pm. The main creator of the crew said, 'The greatest heroes serve the country and the people.' Martial arts dramas have also ushered in a new era."
Male anchor: "July 1 is the birthday of our Party. CCTV-1 will present "The Seventh Army" at 10 o'clock in the evening, and CCTV-8 will also broadcast "Stories of Northern Shaanxi" during its prime time. All viewers are welcome to watch it."
For the hosts of the news broadcast, it is normal to give previews of the programs to be broadcast on CCTV-1 and CCTV-8, which happens several times every year.
When promoting, in order to avoid embarrassment, not only the main theme TV series will be promoted, but other TV series in the same time slot will also be mentioned together.
Generally, a sentence like this can cause the ratings of that episode to surge by more than 1% that day.
After all, when the news broadcast was broadcast, the ratings were as high as 11%, and the audience share was as high as 45%.
That is to say, more than half of the people who watch TV at this time are watching it.
Such a sentence can always attract some audiences.
What’s more, The Best in the World is not an urban drama or a mainstream drama, but a martial arts drama.
There's also talk of martial arts dramas ushering in a new era, with 'the greatest heroes serving their country and their people', which has whetted the appetite of many viewers.
What drama has such a strong tone?
The greatest heroes serve their country and their people? Aren’t the knights-errant in martial arts just a group of ancient gangsters and underworld people who know martial arts?
In fact, the word "Xia" in "Wuxia" actually means "ranger", and ranger itself is a gangster in ancient times.
The first work to change this situation was "Three Heroes and Five Gallants", but it did not really form a common perception that heroes are positive images.
Then there is "Shushan", a super long novel that depicts the concept of immortal heroes in a time-defining writing style.
When the words "xian" and "xia" are put together, the word "xia" becomes different for ordinary people.
You can say that heroes are gangsters, but you can't say that immortals are gangsters, right?
From then on, everyone began to accept that in the world of novels, the pursuits of the protagonists and supporting characters are different from those in the real world, so the word "xia" has another meaning.
On the one hand, pursue freedom, on the other hand, enjoy life.
In the new martial arts era, Liang Yusheng began to write about heroes who serve their country and their people.
Jin Yong formally proposed this concept.
Even Jin Yong has written about a protagonist like Linghu Chong who is a reckless person and can almost be described as a top-notch trash in terms of how he behaves and what he does.
This is the typical old martial arts protagonist.
However, Jin Yong's The Legend of the Condor Heroes trilogy also fully discussed the concept of chivalry.
From then on, chivalry and righteousness began to be used compulsorily together.
Only then did the new martial arts appear, and the word "knight" began to have a completely positive meaning.
But this world is not like that.
There are no new martial arts heroes in this world, the meaning of "hero" is still relatively old.
It is a hybrid of ranger and chivalrous.
It’s like the era after "Three Heroes and Five Gallants" came out and before "Shushan" came out.
Many people are curious about how awesome it can be.
At this time, there was an uproar within a small group.
In the online literature circle, many people are discussing this at this time.
Because after more than half a year, everyone has adapted to the martial arts style of "Jin Gu Liang Huang", and many people are imitating it.
Many excellent works have also emerged.
This kind of character is called a mountain pioneer in the online literature circle.
And 'Jin Gu Liang Huang' is a double pioneer, who created the 'new martial arts' while creating the 'tomb-robbing' genre.
The author and readers have reached a consensus.
At this time, a TV series came out and was the first to extract the spiritual core of the new martial arts and announced it, and everyone was very confused.
"No way? Could it be that the screenwriter of "Number One Under Heaven" has read "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" and got inspiration from it?"
"Can I sue him for plagiarism?"
"How can we sue for plagiarism for something like concept spirit? What about Kingu? What do you say?"
Seeing his Penguin group buzzing, Wei Min clicked in and took a look, but didn’t know how to reply.
Sent a smiley face.
"Hey, Master Jin Gu, don't laugh! This is your achievement, how can you give it to others for free?"
Wei Min uses the username Jingulianghuang: "Novels are different from TV series. I write and serialize them at the same time, but for TV series, I write the script first, then polish it, and then start filming. It's hard to say who wrote it first, right?"
Many people think that this is true, but isn’t it a consensus that whoever proposes it first should own it?
Jin Guliang Huang: "Actually, there is no need to discuss this. There is indeed a deep connection between "Number One Under Heaven" and "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", but this kind of cooperation cannot be announced for the time being. You will know it later."
A large number of authors directly exploded in the group: "Ah? A cooperative relationship? What kind of cooperation? Could it be that "Number One Under Heaven" is adapted from "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils"? "
I really can’t say this, it’s just not the right time.
Wei Min remembered very clearly that the boss said that if the "Number One Under Heaven" project was successful, then the two Song and Ming series would be connected.
If it doesn't succeed, then we can develop it separately and announce it when the time is right.
At the very least, we have to wait for the ratings of the first broadcast of "The World's Number One" to come out, and if the results are satisfactory, we can then announce the relationship between "Tian Long" and "The World's Number One".
Jin Guliang Huang: "Wait until ten o'clock and tell everyone."
It's ten o'clock, so if the ratings aren't good, we can just come up with another excuse.
Many people are watching the weather forecast, waiting for the prime time at 8 o'clock to begin.
The iconic instrumental music of "The World's Number One", accompanied by the sound of swords and the clips of all the characters make a brilliant appearance.
This lineup is truly terrifying, and passers-by who like to watch TV dramas and follow series must watch this!
The first scene to appear is the four men Tiandi Xuanhuang riding horses, Wu Li, Han Zhou, Tang Zhou, and Ye Manyi.
Then there is the battle between Tiedan Shenhou, played by Luo Daming, and Cao Zhengchun, played by Wang Mingyuan.
Then there are the scenes of Zhao Ziyu, who plays Liu Sheng Piaoxu, and Yang Jun, who plays Liu Sheng Xueji, with Duan Tianya respectively.
Then, Tiedan Shenhou, played by Luo Daming, fought with Gu Santong, played by Rang Bing, and Su Xin, played by Liu Yiling, was seriously hit by a palm.
There are also clips of Emperor Zhengde played by Lu Jin, as well as a host of familiar actors and actresses.
Don’t talk about the plot or what channel it’s broadcast on.
This lineup alone is worth watching two episodes.
As for whether it’s good or not, won’t you know after watching two episodes?
When the TV series first started airing, the protagonist did not appear, but the East Factory appeared first.
The audience is very unfamiliar with this name.
But soon they knew what the East Factory was.
The eunuch supervisor is an eagle's lackey who does all kinds of bad things.
What the East Factory fears most are the three secret agents of Hulong Villa.
And these plot structures are not what attract the audience because they don't understand them.
But then, the East Factory Supervisor's archery special effects that were like heavenly flowers scattering flowers gave the audience a little more anticipation.
Next, it’s the famous scene where the Divine Marquis shows off.
After Lord Yang was killed, his subordinates went to deliver his last words to Tiedan Shenhou. But they could only hear his voice but not see him, and used his internal force to transmit the sound!
There is no such martial arts in the old martial arts system. This scene left many viewers dumbfounded.
"What the hell? So cool?"
“This is too pretentious.”
"Writing calligraphy while the sound penetrates so far?"
The difference between the new martial arts and the old martial arts lies not only in the core, but also in the actual internal force and the difference in the use of internal force.
This kind of thing, which was commonplace and even a bit old-fashioned to audiences and readers in previous lives, appeared for the first time in this world, directly igniting the audience's expectations and yearning for martial arts.
As the plot progresses, the first episode basically only talks about the concept of this world.
Dongchang and Hulong Villa served the emperor at the same time, while Hulong Villa and Dongchang were against each other.
In the middle, a new scene of recruiting the best dealer in the world is introduced.
There is basically no plot, it's all about introducing the specific era background and story background.
Cheng Shifei, played by Han Zhou, appeared at the end of the first episode.
Moreover, as a small-time thug who was good at stealing and cheating , he was immediately sold out by his teammates.
It’s truly sold.
When the partner lost money gambling, he sold Cheng Shifei to the casino. When the casino could not collect the debt, he resold Cheng Shifei, saying that he had sold it to a place where he had no worries about food and clothing.
After being loaded onto a large pole and transported to the palace, Cheng Shifei realized that he had been sold to be a eunuch...
The first episode also ends here.
The first episode, if you want to tell a story, there isn't really any story at all.
There are mainly two aspects. One is people in high positions who pretend to be cool and do all kinds of fancy things.
The second is the various funny things that happen to people at the bottom of society, some of which can be called jokes to advance the plot.
If a TV series has these two points, it will be very attractive, but most TV series are often awkward and cannot achieve these two points.
The most important thing is that the acting skills of both the main and supporting actors in this drama have been very good. When watching the drama, fans and passers-by who came here for the show completely forgot the names of the actors and actresses and got so into the role.
Cheng Shifei, played by Han Zhou, is a typical gangster, which makes people completely unable to associate him with the image of the gold medal songwriter, the domineering red-skinned duck.
Moreover, the internal force displays in the new martial arts, those luminous stunts, tracking arrows, and internal force sound transmission.
These are the most novel things, the visual and auditory sensations, they are all brand new experiences.
Many viewers were stunned.
Can martial arts movies be filmed like this?
Moreover, the beginning signs of great heroes serving the country and the people have already been seen.
The story takes place differently from the ordinary martial arts world.
This is a story that begins in the court.
For the commonplace person, these things combined are attractive enough.
For first-time viewers, this is too cool and novel.
People are curious animals, and when we see this thing, we are filled with anticipation.
Many people said in the Penguin WeChat group: "Wow, "The World's Number One" is so good, hurry up and watch it!"
“Is this the new martial artist?”
The authors were also excited: "So this is what a new martial arts drama would look like when it's made into a TV series. It's so domineering!"
"The technique of transmitting sound through internal energy is also found in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils. I didn't expect it to be so cool after being adapted into a TV series."
"Martial arts novels are so suitable for adaptation. Brothers, let's do a martial arts novel, put it on the shelves in two months, complete it in half a year, and adapt it into a TV series in one year!!"
"Hahaha. Hey, I'd be satisfied if my book could be printed in physical form."
As soon as someone starts to play the game of internal circulation and price cutting, the people behind him immediately go astray.
"Physical edition? I'll be satisfied if my book can be a fine product."
"Excellent? I'll be satisfied if my book can be on the shelf."
"Put it on the shelves? If I can sign the contract, I will burn a stick of incense and pray to the editor!"
After going off topic for a while, someone asked, "Have the ratings been released? Are there many people watching?"
"If there are many readers, then writing martial arts novels will definitely make money in the future. Even if the subscription is small, it is easy to adapt and make money by making a TV series and selling the copyright!"
