Today is the launch day of "Pawn Shop No. 8". As the heroine of the show, Chen Qing is also thinking about this moment. However, due to work reasons, she often works two shifts recently, so by the time she finishes work, it is already six o'clock in the evening.
bell.
Although his eyelids were trembling, Chen Qing still resisted his sleepiness and wanted to read the online reviews of "Pawn Shop No. 8" after it was aired.
Chen Qing is only in her early twenties and has just debuted in Baodao's advertising industry for less than a year. She is a solid new model.
Because of her delicate appearance, good figure and skin, and a pair of peach-like eyes, she was immediately noticed by director Jiang Hua and was given the opportunity to come to the mainland to film "Pawn Shop No. 8".
But before that, Chen Qing's life was not satisfactory.
Because he was born in a single-parent family, his family was relatively poor, and he had a gambling mother who signed a large debt. Therefore, after graduating from high school, Chen Qing did not continue his studies. Instead, he joined the work and worked hard to provide for his mother.
Pay off debt.
She had just made her mark at the Baodao Advertising Festival and gained a bit of fame, but because she was spotted by a big director, Chen Qing rejected all job announcements and headed north to film in the mainland.
I've been there for two or three months.
When she returned from filming, the popularity and connections she had accumulated in Baodao had almost all disappeared, and all the job opportunities she had turned down before would no longer cooperate with her. Coupled with the high debt, Chen
Qing's life was once difficult.
However, because he met the well-connected female supporting actress Tong Ru who played Furong in "Pawn Shop No. 8", with the help of Tong Ru, Chen Qing reluctantly accepted the female supporting role in a drama in Baodao.
After receiving the signing bonus, the embarrassment caused by debt was barely relieved.
But life still hasn't improved at all.
After all, she is a newcomer. Even though she starred in "Pawn Shop No. 8", her salary was not much, even lower than that of Tong Ru, who is a supporting actress. After receiving all the money, she could only repay part of the debt.
But even though she was overwhelmed by life, Chen Qing did not give up the hope of staying in the entertainment industry, because she knew clearly that when "Pawn Shop No. 8" was launched, her life might undergo an earth-shaking change.
Variety.
Therefore, even though today's work was very tiring and difficult, Chen Qing still managed to cheer up and stayed up until eight o'clock in the evening, turned on the TV and watched the first episode of "Pawn Shop No. 8".
At the same time, from major news networks and hot searches on Weibo, Chen Qing also learned that the TV series "Pawn Shop No. 8" was launched at the same time as "The Fairy Sword".
"Fairy Sword" is a costume drama. Although it is not really a big production, it is still well-made. It also has popular documentary director Xia Hou Congqing and popular niche actor Du Xin taking the lead, plus various publicity investments, so
The popularity is also very high, and many fans of ancient costumes and fairy tales are also watching Xiangnan Satellite TV on this day, waiting to watch it when it starts broadcasting.
However, compared with "The Fairy Sword".
Because of Han Sen's presence, "Pawn Shop No. 8" became extremely popular even without much investment in publicity.
Han Sen can be said to be the most popular person in the entire series. Some netizens even joked that Han Sen alone could be as popular as the entire cast of "Sword and Fairy".
This is not a random mistake, but an established impression in people's minds. After all, in the second half of this year, Han Sen's name frequently appeared on the hot search list. People's impression of Han Sen is not only top-notch, but also top-notch.
The prices for various commercials, variety shows, and film and television contracts have also risen. Today, even if Han Sen does not rely on his works, he can still get top-notch salary in the country with his face.
Speaking of variety shows alone, the external quotation for each episode starts at 3 million. Usually, if a full season of the show is recorded with a frequency of ten episodes, you can get at least 30 million in remuneration.
Therefore, even if Han Sen does not write songs now, record variety shows or accept some advertising endorsements, it will be enough for him to achieve his goal of annual income of over 100 million, which is even more profitable than releasing a new album.
This is the value of top popularity.
Of course, because he is a high-income group, although Han Sen has a high income, he will still pay tax at the 45% tax rate. Therefore, even if Han Sen's annual personal tax exceeds hundreds of millions, he still has to pay more than 40 million in personal tax, and his assets have shrunk by nearly half.
.
However, this data is for reference only, and the amount of tax paid depends on the actual situation.
With such a high salary, Han Sen naturally has corresponding huge popularity.
Therefore, whether it is the crew of "Pawn Shop No. 8", the crew of "No Survivor" which will be broadcast next, and the crew of "Adventure King", they are all very proud of being able to cooperate with Han Sen as soon as possible.
With such huge popularity, "Pawn Shop No. 8" ranked among the top three in the hot search list early in the morning on the day it was aired. In the evening, it jumped to the first place, even though "Sword and Sword" was aired at the same time.
"Asking for Love" spent money, but it can only stay in the top six positions on the hot search list, which is not comparable to the number one spot on the hot search list for "Pawn Shop No. 8".
From this point alone, "Sword and Fairy" has already lost.
However, because the script of "Fairy Sword" has a great opening advantage and it is a Chinese costume work that is loved by Chinese people, even if it does not spend money on marketing, the popularity is still not low.
Soon, eight o'clock arrived.
The large-scale fantasy TV series "Pawn Shop No. 8" has officially launched.
When the opening song ended, the first thing that caught our eyes was the ancient street market in the dead of night. Yang Yuanwai, who is blind in his right eye, held the hand of his young son and walked under the dark night. He looked around from time to time, as if he was looking for something.
.
Not long after, with the horror background music and the sound of footsteps, a red sedan was carried by four bearers in red clothes, whose faces could not be seen clearly, and ran quickly. Every step they took seemed to be...
Teleporting, when they passed by Yang Yuanwai and his son, everyone disappeared on the spot.
The next moment, the red sedan brought the actors to a ghostly courtyard house.
Seeing this familiar scene, Yang Yuanwai swallowed his saliva, opened the door with an anxious look, and visited the owner of Pawn Shop No. 8 again.
Last time, Yuan Wai Yang pawned his right eye and saved the cloth shop's business.
But this time, he wanted to exchange his son's brain for ten thousand taels of gold in order to redeem his ancestral home.
Soon, the familiar pawnshop owner appeared.
When the boss's face appeared on the TV, all the viewers watching the TV became excited.
"Li Ang, it's actually Li Ang!
"Damn it, this TV series even invited Li Ang to make a guest appearance. It's so awesome!"
"Li Ang rarely appears in TV series, most of them are friendly appearances, and there are not many scenes!"
"Isn't "Pawn Shop No. 8" a fantasy theme? Why is it so gloomy when it comes out? Isn't this a ghost movie?"
"I'm confused. Isn't the lead actor Han Sen? Where is Han Sen?"
"According to the plot introduction, Li Ang was the former boss of Pawn Shop No. 8. He was burned to death for some reason, and then Han Sen, the new boss of Pawn Shop No. 8, was introduced!"
"Brother Li is really just a soy sauce guy, but his acting skills are really good too, haha!"
Many netizens complained about the drama while watching it, but more and more people were gradually attracted by the plot.
In pawnshop No. 8, Yuan Wai pawned the child's brain in exchange for ten thousand taels of gold.
The pawn shop owner got the child's brain, but instead of putting it back in the pawn shop, he took it out privately to treat his beloved woman Lan Ting.
Lan Ting became a vegetative state due to some reasons and could not move. When the child's brain was given to Lan Ting, Lan Ting's memory was restored instantly. The pawn shop owner cried with joy, but he was not happy for long. The real owner of the pawn shop, the leader of the dark world
The ruler's shadow appears.
The black shadow punished the boss who took the pawn money privately, and burned the boss's immortal body with flames.
…
At this moment, many people are watching the series on TV with great interest.
Chen Qing also cheered up. While watching the series in the rental apartment, he picked up his mobile phone and refreshed the comments on the Internet from time to time.
The first episode of the program was full of explosive moments, and even featured a friendly appearance by Li Ang.
As soon as it started airing, the five characters "Le Ang is so miserable" rushed to the forefront of the hot search, earning enough attention and attracting the attention of many passers-by. Soon, more and more people started to turn on the TV
, watch "Pawn Shop No. 8".
After the pawnshop owner died, the scenes moved rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it was hundreds of years later.
During the New Dynasty, there were loud gongs and drums in front of the wealthy businessman Han's family, and his only son Han Sen made his official appearance.
Today is the day when Han Sen is very happy to welcome his bride.
The high-spirited groom is married to Lu Yunyin, a young lady from a scholar-bureaucrat family. The two fall in love with each other and are admired by everyone.
On a night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber, a pair of beauties were deeply in love, but suddenly a little beggar in ragged clothes broke in and stole food.
The servants chased her and wanted to send her to the officials for severe punishment. Han Sen and Yunyin couldn't bear it and offered to rescue her. From then on, the little beggar Ah Qing was taken in by the Han family.
There was a famine in Ah Qing's hometown, and his family starved to death, leaving him helpless. After Han Tong, the housekeeper, gave Ah Qing a good meal, he assigned some simple tasks to Ah Qing.
On this day, Ah Qing planned to deliver food to the young master Han Sen who was working in the bank.
But on the way home, Ah Qing, who was lost, met Chun Man Lou's bodyguard Douzi.
I just lost a lot of money gambling at Douzi Casino. I saw Ah Qing who was a little crazy and silly, so I tempted him with delicious food.
Ah Qing was kidnapped and prostituted because of her greed for delicious food.
However, the old madam disliked the ugly fetal spots on Ah Qing's face, so she only let her be the maid of the famous prostitute Fu Rong...
In front of the TV.
Chen Qing looked at her character A Qing with a smile on her face. But when she picked up her phone and scrolled through WeChat, she found that the entire Internet was full of gossips about A Qing.
"Has this woman never eaten? Can she be trafficked after just one cake?"
"What kind of crappy plot is this? Let the scriptwriter come up and see if I don't beat you to death!"
"Can anyone be a screenwriter now? Don't write such scenes if you don't have the brains!"
"The screenwriter has no brains, and the director has no brains either, to write such a bad plot!"
"This Ah Qing is so stupid. I can't stand it anymore, so I'll give up!"
"I also gave up on the show. I was so disappointed. I only came to watch this show because of Han Sen's sake. I didn't expect it to be so mindless!"
The Internet was full of derogatory and insulting remarks. Many people thought that Ah Qing was fooled into going to Chunmanlou for a cake, which was too brainless. Not only the screenwriter and director were scolded, but the actor Chen Qing was also scolded.
What Chen Qing saw was that his head felt dizzy, his blood pressure rose, and he felt no longer sleepy in an instant.
She took a deep breath, picked up her phone and began to explain to these netizens: "Now our life is very beautiful, far away from famine. Naturally, everyone thinks that such a plot is a bit unrealistic, but a long time ago, there were also people in this land of ours.
There has been a great famine, and people have been extremely hungry, and cannibalism has existed. Are you maliciously speculating that a character who has been hungry since he was a child is not eating minced meat? "
However, Chen Qing's speech did not arouse the recognition of netizens. Instead, he was ridiculed: "We have never encountered famine, have you experienced famine? I know the phenomenon of cannibalism, but the Ah Qing in the play
, has been adopted by the Han family, and is lured to Chunmanlou by a box of cakes despite having a full meal. Who can stand this kind of stupid plot?"
Chen Qing has not verified her personal Weibo, and she does not like to post on Weibo. Therefore, many netizens do not know that Chen Qing is the actor in the drama who was reviled by netizens, and they responded with harsh words to Chen Qing.
Chen Qing was so dizzy after being scolded that she stopped replying and just stared at the TV with tears in her eyes.
I'm really pissed off...
At this moment, Jiangnan Satellite TV's "Pawn Shop No. 8" continues to be broadcast. At the same time, Hunan Satellite TV's "A Fairy Sword" is also starting to air with great anticipation.
Compared to the controversial plot of "Pawn Shop No. 8".
"Fairy Sword" has been well-received since its release, and netizens showered their praises as if they were free of charge.
"This is the kind of fairy I like to watch!"
"The pawn shop boy played by Du Xin is so handsome, isn't he? Isn't this costume much better than the underworld costume in "Pawn Shop No. 8" next door?"
"There are also pawn shops. "Pawn Shop No. 8" made me feel bad, so I'd better watch "A Fairy Tale"!"
"Hey, dear, in the first episode, we used a big trick. An iron-stained iron sword in the pawn shop turned out to be an immortal legacy left by an ancient sword master!"
"Is Du Xin going to inherit the immortal fate? It's so exciting!"
"Update soon, I love watching it!"
"This is what I think a fairy tale drama should be like!"
At this moment, there is a lot of discussion on the Internet.
Many netizens crazily belittled "Pawn Shop No. 8" while praising "A Fairy Tale".
Under such circumstances, "A Fairy Sword" almost immediately rushed into the top three of the hot search list, and later even climbed to the first position, knocking down the hot search for "Leon is so miserable"
Already.
Seeing this scene, many people became curious about "Sword and Fairy", so many people began to jump to Shonan Satellite TV to watch "Sword and Fairy".
But more people still stayed on Jiangnan TV, watching "Pawn Shop No. 8" with relish...
Soon, the screening of the first episodes of the two TV series that were launched at the same time ended.
Although Chen Qing was so angry at the comments from netizens that her chest hurt, she finally couldn't hold back her sleepiness and lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, early in the morning, relevant ratings monitoring organizations began to publish the ratings data of major TV stations’ prime time last night.
When they saw the data ranked first, many Weibo bloggers who were paying attention to last night's battle began to doubt their lives. Some even asked a soul question:
"Is it that the viewers of "A Fairy Sword" don't watch TV? Or is it that the viewers of "Pawn Shop No. 8" don't go online?"
