In addition to the turmoil caused by the recruitment of actors, the most shocking thing is that Song Yu is the screenwriter of "The Legend of the Withered Heroes".
Not to mention how the two people got in touch, but Ning Zhong is famous for being picky.
The scripts of several previous TV series were all created by top screenwriters.
How could Song Yu be so virtuous?
The most outrageous thing is that "The Legend of the Wither Heroes" is the sequel to "The Legend of the Wither Heroes".
As we all know, the first part of a TV series or movie is often the peak, and the second and third parts that follow are most likely to be bad movies.
Even if Song Yu can break this rule, everyone still can't understand it.
A new screenwriter was actually valued by Ning Zhong and acted as the director himself, making a sequel.
When Xingdong Entertainment officially announced "The Legend of the Heroes of the Sacrifice", the screenwriter caused various doubts.
Unexpectedly, as if just to slap in the face, "The Legend of the Withered Heroes" is still written by Song Yu.
It's simply unscientific.
But regardless of the controversy, the facts are here, and Song Yu has become a famous figure in the screenwriting circle.
It is said that a big tree attracts the wind.
Unknowingly, he was also noticed by some people, who were preparing to block "The Legend of the Heroes of the Blighted Heroes".
In fact, even if it is not specifically targeted, according to the current situation of this drama, it is bound to block the way of others.
Song Yu didn't care.
On Saturday, we went to the Penguin Building to prepare for the filming of "Run, Brother".
As the last episode of the ace variety show, Penguin will set the final location for tearing off famous brands to the Penguin Building.
It is both a kind of publicity and a kind of attention.
Song Yu met the director of Running Man for the first time, named Luo Huai.
He is quite young, probably in his thirties, and should be considered a genius in the director's field.
But he admired Song Yu quite a bit.
Because the script I was given was written in too much detail.
To put it crudely, any dog can win.
The director is just a tool man.
The title of the last issue is called Super Power Battle.
All guests will have their own superpowers, and the names of the superpowers come from martial arts.
For example, the Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon.
To be honest, it's a coincidence.
The last issue of the first season of the past life contains this content. It was not changed by Song Yu specifically to promote "The Legend of the Heroes of the Withering Heroes".
But Mu Ju and Luo Huai obviously didn't believe it.
However, they didn't say anything, and instead cooperated with Song Yu in promoting it.
In the end, even the title was changed to Huashan Swordsmanship.
Song Yu had a lot of fun.
With his current status as a celebrity, he is just like his seniors. Many guests simply cannot let go of him.
But he was unlucky.
Eliminated by Suni.
She got a secret book called Star Shift, which allowed her to go back in time by one hour.
Song Yu, who was supposed to win, was beaten and killed.
In fact, this was what he had arranged in advance.
In the end, the beloved Suni won and became the strongest king in the entire first season.
The filming took two days, and after it was over, everyone gathered together for dinner.
However, Song Yu was called out alone by Mu Ju again.
"We just happened to sign the contract today, right?"
"What contract?" Song Yu was a little confused.
"Didn't Yan Hu tell you?" Mu Ju explained with a smile, "It's "The Rumored Chen Qianqian"."
"So fast?"
"It's been a long time. The people I sent saw the sample film, and they all said it was a good idol drama and could be signed."
"That's it." Song Yu nodded and said, "I've been too busy recently and didn't notice it."
He called Yan Hu again to confirm the matter.
Penguin Video bought "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" for 23 million per episode.
Much lower than "My Love from the Star".
This is normal.
The two leading actors are of average fame and the cost is not high. They can sell an episode of 23 million yuan and have already made four times the profit.
If you add advertising and the like, it will be even more.
Song Yu has at least accomplished his first goal. Next, it depends on whether Guan Man and Pang Xu can become popular with this.
Xingdong Entertainment has read the contract beforehand and there is nothing wrong with it.
He signed it.
"Director Song, do you have any variety show ideas recently?" Mu Ju asked with a smile.
In fact, this is his real purpose.
Signing the contract is just a matter of convenience.
"Run, Bro" made Penguin Video too much money.
Last year, they bought countless variety shows and TV series on their platform, but none of them were comparable.
It’s hard to even get half of the income.
I have to say, this is very rare.
Generally speaking, TV dramas are definitely the most profitable.
Apart from advertising, it is also the most effective in attracting members.
But I never thought that a web series could perfectly accomplish these two things.
"Variety show."
Song Yu looked embarrassed when he heard this.
There are really few variety shows that can compare to Running Man.
And just making money is of no benefit to the current Star Entertainment.
His idea was to select a few artists.
It's a pity that there are relatively few variety shows for actors, and the ratings are not very high.
There are a lot of music variety shows, and the results are pretty good.
For example, "The Voice".
The first season was really popular all over the internet.
There is no script, it’s all based on strength.
Many amateurs made their debut as a result, such as Liang Bo, Wu Mochou and others.
But later on, if you don’t sign a contract, you won’t be able to enter the finals, and there won’t be many players who will make it out of the circle.
During the period when Jay Chou was a mentor, the popularity actually picked up.
It's just that everyone goes to see Jay Chou instead of watching the show.
Although the ratings increased a lot, it still had no impact after the show ended.
The good voice is also gradually declining.
"There is a music variety show."
Song Yu thought for a while and then spoke.
Although Penguin does not have a TV platform, its energy is large enough.
It’s big enough to hold nationwide auditions, and there are many channels.
It doesn't matter if there is a satellite TV station missing, what should be popular will still be popular.
"Really?"
Mu Ju's eyes suddenly lit up.
The music variety show is also good.
Last year, "The Masked Singer" was so popular that it was so popular that it was definitely not worse than "Run, Brother."
"Um."
Song Yu nodded and said, "But I also have a condition. For the top ten players, Xingdong Entertainment will have priority to contact and sign contracts."
Mu Ju is a veteran, so he knew the purpose of this variety show after hearing this.
But he doesn't care, Penguin doesn't sign people, as long as it makes enough money.
"No problem." Mu Ju agreed.
"Okay, let me tell you briefly first."
Song Yu's taking out the planning book out of thin air is like magic. It's inappropriate and will scare people.
The Voice is not complicated to say the least, it is just a music variety show selected by amateurs.
But there are many details in it.
For example, the swivel chair blind audition is a very interesting and eye-catching part.
Never before.
Every student has his or her own story, some of which are quite touching.
Although its authenticity has been questioned, it can be seen from the fact that Good Voice is also known as Good Story, and it has a great effect.
This part needs to be processed by a screenwriter.
As for publicity and marketing, Song Yu is not worried. This is what Penguin is best at.
"Wonderful!"
After listening to this, Mr. Mu couldn't help but sigh, "I really don't know what you think? You actually made an amateur talent show so novel! I think this variety show will be popular."
"If you are interested, I will ask someone to bring the plan in a few days, and we will discuss it in detail then."
"Of course I'm interested!"
Mu Ju smiled brightly, as if he saw the bright prospects for this year again.
The good voice is in front, the running man is behind, who can beat it?
Song Yu and Suni returned to Xingdong Entertainment.
Time flies so fast, it’s already the Lantern Festival.
During this period, "Gong Xi Fa Cai" and "Unforgettable Tonight" have been in the top ten of the weekly charts.
Although he lost the number one spot, he is still very strong and has made countless people realize Song Yu's musical talent again.
It's really terrifying.
At the same time, Zhou Ting's new album has also entered the promotion stage.
At present, the name has been revealed, it is called "Return".
On the Internet, many people added two words in front of it and changed it to Return of the King.
In fact, everyone except Song Yu believed that Zhou Ting was indeed the return king.
He also mentioned in the interview that this album has two title songs, which are not inferior to his peak work, "Girl's Song".
Song Yu has heard this song, it's pretty awesome.
Although the genre is different, it is no worse than "Nocturne".
In other words, there are two "Nocturnes" in the album "Return".
Even if it is the king of heaven, the queen of heaven must be afraid.
But it's a pity that Song Yu is not just Song Yu, he has the power of all the kings and queens in one body, transcending time and space... ahem, it's a bit of a joke.
In short, he is not fighting alone.
Song Yu hasn't paid attention to the new album for the time being. He is mainly filming during this time.
Hurry up and finish filming all his scenes, and then free up your hands to deal with Zhou Ting.
Of course it saves time but not labor.
Song Yu also increased cost investment and pursued movie quality.
Let everyone know at a glance that this TV series is very expensive and very sophisticated.
The previous films "My Love from the Star" and "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" were mainly for making money, and reputation was secondary.
But "The Legend of the Heroes of the Heroes" is the beginning of Song Yu's martial arts universe, and there must be no mistakes.
Moreover, if there is a problem on his side, it will be difficult to explain it to Ning Zhong, who is filming the second part.
As we enter February, the atmosphere of the New Year is basically gone.
"Gong Xi Fa Cai" and "Unforgettable Tonight" fell out of the top ten, which made many people breathe a sigh of relief.
The reason is simple.
Zhou Ting and Song Yu may release new albums in March and April.
Who dares to join in the fun of such a fight between gods?
But the song cannot but be released.
Either wait for two or three months, or come in February.
Now that the popularity of the two songs has disappeared, some singers have seized the opportunity to release songs, making the beginning of the month very lively.
The biggest among them is Nan Ru, the queen of Longteng Entertainment.
As soon as her hit song "Peony" was released, it firmly occupied the number one spot and was at the peak of its popularity.
Wang Jinquan rarely exhaled and raised his eyebrows.
Last year, Longteng Entertainment was miserable.
Because of Song Yu's interference, the company's profits dropped by nearly one-tenth.
For a large company, one-tenth is a lot of small goals.
The music world was in ruins, and the TV series was also hit hard by "My Love from the Star".
Fortunately, other movies and TV series are not affected.
Especially the two movies released during the Spring Festival, the combined box office revenue exceeded 4 billion, making a lot of money.
But despite this, Wang Jinquan was also condemned at the shareholders' meeting.
And he was forced to issue a military order. If he couldn't make money back this year, he, the general manager, would be in trouble and would be kicked out.
When it comes to his own future, he doesn't dare to compete with Song Yu in the music world.
And "Gong Xi Fa Cai" and "Unforgettable Tonight" are really terrible.
As a result, he waited for almost three weeks before he got the opportunity.
If we wait any longer, it will be an album battle between Zhou Ting and Song Yu.
Fortunately, he was lucky and did not wait for the worst moment. Seeing that the two songs had lost their stamina, Wang Jinquan asked Nan Ru to release a new album.
Although this diva has passed her prime and is in a similar situation to Bai Xiang, her appeal is still there, so it is not a problem to defeat singers who are not divas.
The current number one on the weekly list is proof of that.
Wang Jinquan has had a very fruitful time during this period.
In the singing world, Nan Ru is outstanding.
In terms of film and television, Longteng Entertainment and Summit Entertainment have joined forces to re-shoot the work of the Master of the Setting Sun, one of the three martial arts masters.
The first "King of Martial Arts" is based on "The Legend of Heroes of the Heroes" and aims to teach Song Yu how to behave.
Not everyone can play martial arts dramas.
Except for the three martial arts masters, the rest all had to fight.
Moreover, these three martial arts writers are not willing to suddenly pop up a new IP to take away their profits.
Everyone hit it off immediately.
The two large companies have complete film and television production lines and can achieve post-production and shooting simultaneously.
In terms of time, it might be broadcast earlier than "The Legend of the Heroes of the Withered Heroes".
Wang Jinquan also understood Song Yu and would not back down.
Fighting in the ring is destined.
"Mr. Wang, something bad has happened!" He Changyuan, the head of the public relations department, ran in in a hurry.
"What happened?" Wang Jinquan had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Xingdong Entertainment released two new songs today."
"Song? Song Yu's song?" Wang Jinquan's expression changed.
"No." He Changyuan shook his head quickly.
"Then why are you nervous?" Wang Jinquan glared at him. If he continued like this, Song Yu would one day have a heart attack.
"It's Ye Xianglun."
"Ye Xianglun?"
When Wang Jinquan heard this, his expression became solemn.
In their eyes, or in the industry, Ye Xianglun is an extremely mysterious guy.
In terms of reputation, he is naturally not as good as Song Yu, but in terms of average sales, he is really not bad.
And the most outrageous thing is that his songs are always so simple and brainwashing.
It stands to reason that there is no difficulty in copying this kind of song.
But something strange happened.
Many companies have released similar songs in Ye Xianglun's style, but none of them have become a hit.
There are some that are less popular, but they are so far away from "Little Apple" and so on that they are completely incomparable.
Longteng Entertainment tried poaching, but no one could be found.
Even by asking Xingdong Entertainment's own employees, they didn't know.
The only thing I knew was that Ye Xianglun had never gone to work, and no one except Song Yu had any contact with him.
It was as if he was not a normal person, but some kind of ghost hiding in the corner.
"Are the singers Zhou Jie and Qiao Ling?" Wang Jinquan asked again.
"It's the two of them." He Changyuan said.
Just like Wang Zhi, Qu Qin and Tian Xiang are the iron triangle in the music world, so are Ye Xianglun, Zhou Jie and Qiao Ling now.
Recognized mudslide.
"Have a meeting and let's hear how the quality is and whether it will pose a threat to Nanru."
Wang Jinquan secretly prayed that there would never be another "Little Apple" song. Who could survive this?
