Chapter 83: The Prize
Therefore, the introduction of every big production is extremely important.
If done well, it will be a hit and can consolidate Mangguo TV's position in the industry.
If one fails to do so properly, one may end up destroying the Great Wall.
Chen Ruhan is full of confidence.
In the past two years, she has introduced nearly a dozen hit TV series.
She also contributed to the current status of Mangguo TV.
Chen Ruhan is very confident in his own judgment.
The drama "The King's Woman" introduced this time is adapted from the popular novel of the same name with a heroine as the protagonist. It has already formed an IP effect and has a strong fan base.
In addition, there is a huge investment of 500 million yuan, a great director like Ju Jueliang, a costume male god like Zhong Hanliang, and a popular female star like Angelababy.
The whole drama's ability to attract attention and traffic is terrifying!
Chen Ruhan couldn't think of any reason why this drama wasn't popular.
Of course, Lu Huanbin and Chen Ruhan both saw what Kyoto TV did.
But they think that this is just a hype carefully planned by Kyoto TV, Tencent Video and Xingyi Media.
What level is "Wulin Waijia"?
What is the level of "The Queen's Woman"?
Are the two comparable?
Nowadays, isn't it normal to rush over and take a bite of someone who is popular?
Ju Jueliang, the director of "The Princess Weiyoung", is full of expectations at this time.
To be honest, he was quite anxious at this time.
Ju Jueliang’s last costume fantasy production, "Fantasy City", did not receive very good reviews or ratings.
This drama seems particularly crucial now.
If this drama becomes popular, he will be a top director. However, if this drama fails, then his future may be bumpy.
The investment of "Fantasy City" was 300 million yuan, and the investment of "The Princess Weiyoung" was 500 million yuan.
Such large investments can fail repeatedly, and investors' money does not come from the wind.
Who would dare to spend money on him in the future?
However, in the current market environment, it is difficult to produce high-quality TV series without large investments.
Therefore, this drama is a key node for Ju Jueliang.
Whether his future career will go up or down depends on the performance of "The Romance of the Condor Heroes".
The only dramas that could pose a threat to the ratings of his drama are definitely the prime-time dramas from first-tier satellite TV stations such as Blue Mold TV and Shanghai TV.
As for Kyoto TV's "Wulin Waijia", it was never within Ju Jueliang's consideration.
An investment of 10 million is not even enough to pay the salary of an ordinary actor under him. What good can a TV series produced with such a cost do?
In Ju Jueliang's opinion, the reason why Kyoto TV was willing to introduce "Wulin Waijia" was that it was attracted by the gambling agreement proposed by Su Chen and Xingyi and wanted to get it for free.
Or maybe he couldn't resist Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun and did them a favor.
Otherwise, it would be almost impossible for a low-cost, bad drama like "Wulin Waijiao" to be broadcast on Kyoto TV.
Zhong Hanliang has high hopes for "The Princess Weiyoung".
With the title of "ancient costume male god", he has now firmly established himself as a top popular male star.
For a big IP like "The Princess Weiyoung", as long as the ratings go viral, then he may be able to go further.
It is not impossible to become a top-tier company.
For Angelababy, the significance of this drama is even more extraordinary.
This is the first time she has played the leading female role since her debut.
In the past, she mostly played supporting roles, and her parts were not very substantial.
This is totally inconsistent with her status as a top-tier, super popular female star.
There is no doubt that this drama is Angelababy's masterpiece.
Many people criticized her for her lack of acting skills, but she felt that she had worked very hard and had done a good job.
Some people even
Angelababy feels that this is discrimination against her by the outside world.
Yang Mi and Deng Ziqi both became famous thanks to Su Chen's songs. She has over 100 million fans on Weibo. Can these two newbies compare with her?
Angelababy also likes Su Chen's songs, but she feels that when it comes to acting, Su Chen may not be better than her.
Of course, the drama he starred in was a big production with an investment of 500 million yuan, and it should not be compared with a copycat drama like "Wulin Waijia".
This is a special day for the crew members of "Wulin Waijia".
So even though the shooting was completed by the evening.
But as it approached eight o'clock, everyone consciously came to a small conference room in the Xingyi headquarters building.
Su Chen is currently living in the headquarters building, and as the number one person in the crew, he should not be absent.
So at this time, he and the crew were waiting for the official release of "Wulin Wai Zhuan". Although he knew that the ratings of this drama were destined to create miracles.
"Let's guess what the ratings for the premiere of 'Wulin Wai Zhuan' will be?"
Seeing that the atmosphere on the scene was a little tense, Deng Ziqi suddenly made a suggestion.
This immediately aroused enthusiastic response from everyone.
“Good idea!”
"I agree, but where's the jackpot?"
"Interesting, this is possible!"
Yang Mi also got excited at this time:
"Whoever guesses correctly will be rewarded with 100,000 yuan by Brother Chen!"
After spending so much time together, everyone has become very familiar with each other. Yang Mi knows that she has to be lively and proactive in her interactions with Su Chen, otherwise it will only be awkward.
When Su Chen heard this, he became anxious.
I only have 5,000 yuan a month for living expenses, where can I get 100,000 yuan to give you?
“That won’t work!”
Hearing this, the faces of everyone at the scene turned strange.
Brother Chen, you have so many popular songs and sold so many paintings at sky-high prices, your assets must be at least over 100 million, right?
Isn't 100,000 yuan just pocket money for you? Are you unwilling to spend it?
At this time, Yang Mi still knew Su Chen better.
"How about we try something else?"
When signing the contract, for someone who haggles over even a few thousand dollars, 100,000 yuan might be a huge loss for Brother Chen.
Deng Ziqi suddenly thought of something.
Xu Jinjiang reimbursed Brother Chen's round-trip airfare to Hong Kong. Now that I have come to Kyoto to join him, I can only take care of my own food and accommodation. Perhaps Brother Chen really cares more about money?
Don't care about anything else?
Thinking of this, Deng Ziqi tentatively made a suggestion:
"How about, Brother Chen, you write a song for the person who guesses the answer correctly?"
Ha ha ha ha……
Hearing this, everyone present laughed.
Ziqi, are you kidding me?
Brother Chen can make someone famous with just one song, and you want Brother Chen to use this as a bet?
You are so bad!
