Chapter 68 Ten Million Challenges Five Hundred Million
Reporter: "So, Brother Chen, are you filming this drama to compete with "The Princess Weiyoung"? "
Although Su Chen doesn't like to talk too much nonsense, he knows that as he is in the entertainment industry, appropriate hype is a must. Provoking conflicts like this can often attract a lot of attention.
Su Chen: "That's fine."
The eyes of the entertainment reporters at the scene lit up when they heard Su Chen's words.
Now, the topic has come up, hasn’t it?
Originally, the fact that Su Chen was filming a TV series for the first time was already enough to make entertainment reporters like them worry about something. Now, coupled with the fact that he was competing with "The Princess Weiyoung", these two topics combined would ensure that they would have no shortage of material for publication all year round.
Reporter: "But, Brother Chen, this is your first TV series. Don't you feel too much pressure to compete directly with a luxurious production like "The Lonely Queen"?"
Su Chen: “No.”
Well, the reporters were very dissatisfied with Su Chen’s answer, because the information Su Chen revealed was too little.
Reporter: "Brother Chen, do you know how much the investment cost of "The Lonely Queen" is?"
Su Chen: “You don’t know?”
The reporter felt like he was choking.
Is it because I didn’t express myself clearly enough, or are you, Brother Chen, too arrogant?
Reporter: "The investment cost of "The Princess Weiyoung" is 500 million! May I ask how much was the investment of "Wulin Wai Zhuan"?"
Su Chen: "Ten million."
“…”
The reporters at the scene were stunned. They thought Su Chen had said something wrong or was joking on purpose. However, when they saw Su Chen's serious expression, they suddenly came to their senses.
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the scene.
"Holy crap! Are you kidding me? A 10 million dollar drama is actually going to compete with a 500 million dollar production?"
"I didn't expect Brother Chen to be a master of hype!"
"The salary of Angelababy, the heroine of "The Princess Weiyoung", is nearly 100 million yuan. What kind of TV series can be made with 10 million yuan?"
“…”
This matter was too outrageous and ridiculous for these entertainment reporters.
However, the reporter still wants to know more information.
Reporter: "'The Lonely Queen' is about to wrap up, but your drama is just starting now, will you be able to catch up?"
Su Chen: "Wulin Wai Zhuan is a sitcom that can be filmed and broadcast at the same time."
Well, the entertainment reporters suddenly felt that they couldn’t continue the conversation.
Moreover, they think that this is a routine.
It was Xingyi, or Su Chen, who used "The Princess Weiyoung" to promote his new drama.
Brothers Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun were very satisfied with Su Chen's performance.
To be honest, they were very worried at first. Su Chen, who was always taciturn, could not handle such a situation.
But what surprised them was that Su Chen's response was very appropriate.
Moreover, it brought up a highly controversial topic of competing with "The Princess Weiyoung".
This is excellent hype.
No matter how "Wulin Waijia" is filmed , at least the topicality and attention before it is broadcast will not be a problem.
After the reporter finished asking Su Chen a series of questions.
We also interviewed other main actors in the crew.
However, when people heard Su Chen's remarks through the live broadcast, all major social platforms were instantly in an uproar.
"Oh my god, I didn't expect Brother Chen to be so good at playing!"
"When did Su Chen learn how to shoot TV?"
"I seriously doubt Su Chen's motive for saying this!"
"The hype master has confirmed it! It seems that the rumors on the Internet are all true!"
"A TV series with a tens of millions of dollars in investment wants to compete with a TV series with a 500 million yuan investment ? Who gives you the courage?"
"This hype is too crude! My good impression of Su Chen is gone in an instant! I'm no longer a fan, bye!"
“…”
soon.
"Su Chen is entering the film and television industry!"
"Su Chen's new drama is competing with "The Princess Weiyoung"!"
These two topics occupied the first and second positions on major hot search lists.
Wu Kebo, the boss of Chengtian Jiahe, smiled disdainfully when he saw the news.
Star Friendship? New drama?
That's a joke.
Now his Chengtian Jiahe is thriving and is showing signs of becoming a leader in the film and television industry. However, Xingyi has lost its glory and is on the verge of collapse.
Now the only thing Xingyi can rely on is Su Chen.
However, pushing Su Chen into the film and television industry wouldn't be a self-destructive move?
Wu Kebo gave a bad review to Xingyi's operation.
If Su Chen could make music well, it would indeed be a great help to Xingyi. However, using it to boost the popularity of Xingyi's film and television department would be a bad move.
Of course, Wu Kebo was very happy to see this happen.
If Xingyi destroyed Su Chen, his only trump card, it would undoubtedly be a great benefit to Chengtian Jiahe.
The entertainment reporters who followed the coverage of "The Princess Diaries" immediately reported the news to the main creators of the crew.
The reporter also asked the director Ju Jueliang:
"Director Ju, according to the latest news, Su Chen is going to compete with your drama with a new drama with an investment of 10 million yuan. What do you think about this?"
Hearing these words, Ju Jueliang was confused.
As a senior director, Ju Jueliang has directed TV series in recent years with an investment starting at 300 million yuan, such as last year's "Fantasy City".
In his opinion, he really couldn't imagine how ten million could be used to make a TV series, and what kind of TV series could it be?
After thinking for a while, Ju Jueliang asked back:
"Are you telling the truth? How is possible?"
As the most popular person on the entire Internet, does Su Chen feel that he is too popular and want to make fun of himself?
However, Ju Jueliang keenly discovered the business opportunities there.
"If it's true, I only have one thing to say: welcome to fight!"
Now, "The Princess Weiyoung" is about to be completed. Although the publicity work has been done extensively, Ju Jueliang would be happy if he could take advantage of Su Chen's popularity to add fuel to his new drama.
Some reporters also asked the heroine of the show, Angelababy, a question:
"Su Chen said that high pay for actors is a poison. Baby, do you have anything to say?"
Of course, this is a topic deliberately fabricated by reporters in order to provoke a fight.
Angelababy was unhappy when she heard this:
"You get what you pay for. You get what kind of actors you pay for."
She felt that the reporter was making innuendos and deliberately mocking her because she had always been criticized for having no acting skills but receiving sky-high salaries.
"I am able to be the leading actress of this drama and get such a high salary, which proves that I am worth it!"
