The entire content of Journey to the West caused an unprecedented sensation throughout China.
After all, Qi Ji's popularity has been added here, so after it was launched, in just a week or two, it almost became a topic of discussion among the people.
The story of the four masters and apprentices plus a white dragon horse continues to be circulated among the Chinese people.
Especially with the double addition of the Tang Dynasty chapter Xuanzang's Journey to the West, the whole story is more deeply rooted in the people.
A well-known writer came forward for an interview and said: "Teacher Qi Ji's writing has reached the pinnacle of perfection. We need to know that he is only in his 30s now, but look at his words and his plot arrangements...
Although some people are also complaining about the overall plot arrangement of Journey to the West. There are some routines, that is, when you encounter a monster master, he is captured by the monster, and then the monkey goes to rescue the soldiers, and finally solves the monster. Such a routine cycle, but every time
Within a cycle, in fact, if you look carefully, there are deep meanings and there are some hints. This is the strength of Teacher Qi Ji."
Qing Teng, a well-known screenwriter, stood up for an interview and said: "Teacher Qi Ji is so good at it. The entire Journey to the West is difficult. Not even one of the difficulties has been filmed yet. Just the birth of a monkey and causing havoc in the heaven."
With one movie, you can imagine that all of Journey to the West could be made, or even 100 movies could be made. Teacher Qi Ji has completed another creation of a movie universe by himself."
After netizens saw these comments, they suddenly came to their senses.
"Teacher Qi Ji is so smart. No wonder he said this is the sequel to Fengshen Universe. I would like to call it Journey to the West Universe."
"It would be awesome to make a movie about every monster. In fact, I think it would be best to make it into a TV series."
"If nothing else, I just hope that Daughter's Kingdom can be made into a movie. If so, all the people who will come out will be beautiful women."
As Journey to the West becomes more and more popular across the country, Miracle Entertainment is also filled with joy.
You should know that there is also a TV series called Lotus Lantern, which is closely related to Journey to the West, and has already completed the post-production process.
In Lotus Lantern, the male protagonist Chen Xiang actually became Sun Wukong's disciple.
This is to connect all the story lines together, which is one of the reasons why Qi Ji chose to release the physical book of Journey to the West first.
Everyone is sitting together in the conference room.
The person in charge of the Lotus Lantern project played two related trailers to Qi Ji.
One is a trailer that directly highlights Yang Jian's villain role in the story, while the other is a trailer that hides Yang Jian's villain role.
The second trailer still maintains Yang Jian's absolute righteous position as the absolute protagonist in the Fengshenbang universe.
"Boss, this is what the two trailers currently look like. Which one do you think is better? If we discuss it internally, we think the second trailer is better. After all, we have been preparing for the whole Conferred God for so long. Yang Jian's positive image is actually
It has always been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Now we suddenly release a trailer saying that Yang Jian is actually a villain. I think many viewers will not be able to accept it. It may even affect your image."
The person in charge said seriously.
In fact, quite a few people within the entire Lotus Lantern team are not very optimistic about this TV series.
Because for a large part of the previous drama, Yang Jian was a complete villain. He would use countless methods to destroy Chen Xiang and harm the protagonists around Chen Xiang.
Qi Ji knocked on the table gently, recalling the two clips he had just watched in his mind, and after pondering for a while, he said:
"Let's use the first one. Don't worry about ruining Yang Jian's image. You also know our final ending on this issue. In the past, the worse we portrayed Yang Jian's image, the more the audience doubted life. In the end
When there is a shocking turn of events, the more tears it can earn from the audience."
Qi Ji looked like he was smiling but not smiling.
Meng Feichen also stood up and made a decision: "Okay, then we will listen to the boss, and we will officially release the first trailer first."
Half an hour later, Miracle Entertainment officially released the first trailer of Lotus Lantern on its official Weibo.
And it was announced that this TV series will be officially scheduled to be broadcast on CCTV at 8pm prime time.
The audience has long known that there is such a TV series.
Especially some fans of Fengshen Universe Yang Jian have been looking forward to this TV series for a long time.
But after watching this trailer, the audience seemed a little confused.
"What's going on, brothers? Do you understand? Why do I feel like Yang Jian is a villain in this TV series?"
"I also see that the real male protagonist Chen Xiang seems to be the righteous party. Damn it, this TV series is not created by Miracle Entertainment to praise their newcomer."
"I feel like the people upstairs are telling the truth. This TV series is definitely used by Miracle Entertainment to praise the actor Chen Xiang."
"No, please don't regard the edited trailer as the main film. Let's take a look at the entire Fengshen Universe. There are so many movies made. In every one of them, Yang Jian is the absolute protagonist and the absolute righteous party. How could he be a villain?
.Please don’t be fooled by the trailer.”
In CCTV’s internal drama purchasing department, some people are optimistic about Baolian Lantern and some are not.
After watching the previous episodes, many people have discounted their evaluation of this drama, because when they originally bought this drama, they were completely focused on Yang Jian, played by Qi Ji.
After all, the role of Yang Jian is too attractive to the audience of Fengshen Universe.
Tomorrow is the official broadcast day of Baolian Lantern. Today everyone is having a meeting to discuss this drama.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The deputy director asked seriously: "Everyone, what do you think of the quality of the drama Miracle Entertainment gave us this time?"
"There is absolutely no problem with the quality itself. Whether it is the plot or the special effects, I think they are all perfect. But what is the problem with this drama? It is the character of Qi Ji, who is actually a villain. This is
It completely fails to meet the audience’s expectations, so I think the drama will definitely be very controversial after it is aired, and our station must take appropriate measures internally, otherwise it will easily cause problems with online reputation.”
"Don't worry, after all, we have the final ending behind us."
"I personally called Teacher Qi Ji. He is actually very confident about this lotus lantern. All we need to do is believe in Teacher Qi Ji."
The Lotus Lantern was officially launched amid the attention of the national audience and the worries of employees within CCTV and Miracle Entertainment.
On the first day of its premiere, its ratings reached around 2%.
The plot of Lotus Lantern finally unveiled the mystery for the audience.
"I never expected that the male protagonist is actually the son of Yang Jian's sister Yang Chan."
"Why did the Third Holy Mother descend to earth and fall in love with such a man?"
"It's not as pregnant as in the trailer..."
The plot on the first day of the broadcast is actually to explain the image of agarwood to everyone.
It was discovered that the Three Holy Mothers descended to earth to give birth to a son, and Yang Jian personally took action and suppressed the Three Holy Mothers.
"Hahahahaha! Why does Qi Ji like to use mountains to suppress people so much? Yang Jian's mother was suppressed by mountains, and now he suppressed his sister with mountains himself. In Journey to the West, the same thing happened after the monkeys made a havoc in the palace at the end.
He was pinned down by Tathagata Buddha under Wuzhi Mountain."
"It's over, I think Yang Jian is really going to turn dark now."
"Seeing now, I think there is no problem for Yang Jian to do this. Shouldn't Yang Chan be suppressed if she violates the rules of heaven? If she is not suppressed, she will be discovered by the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother in heaven. Then the Three Holy Mothers will not even be able to
I can’t even save my life.”
As the story develops, Yang Jian completely assumes the role of a villain.
Chen Xiang learned about his mother's suppression and began his own journey to save her.
But along the way, Yang Jian kept taking action and obstructing him.
Yang Jian, who had taken good care of Chen Xiang in the previous episodes, began to completely turn into a black man.
Yang Jian did one bad thing after another under the Queen Mother.
He used the power of the judicial god in heaven that he controlled to start his continuous persecution of Agarwood.
"What's going on? Why did my favorite boss of the Three Conferred Gods become like this?"
"What the hell is this kid Qi Ji doing? Isn't he personally ruining the image of an absolutely positive character that he has used in dozens of Fengshen Universe movies?"
"I think Qi Ji's operation is comparable to that of the She Withering Trilogy that destroyed Huang Rong's image. The character of Yang Jian was well portrayed in Fengshen Universe, but how could it be done in Baolian Lantern?
It has become like this, completely indifferent to right from wrong, and completely acting as the incarnation of evil."
"To be honest, if this role wasn't played by Qi Ji, I would really want to hate Yang Jian's role."
"Brothers, this is bad. The role of Chen Xiang is really used to praise this new actor of Miracle Entertainment. Even Qi Ji died in person. Could this be Qi Ji's son?"
The actor who plays Agarwood in Lotus Lantern is the latest actor signed by Qi Ji Entertainment and has martial arts skills. His name is Lian An.
Because the Lotus Lantern has attracted the attention of the entire Chinese nation, even though Lian An is just a new actor, his number of Weibo fans has exceeded 1 million at this moment.
And because of the continuous broadcast of Baolian Lantern during this period, his Weibo became very popular.
His latest Weibo post promoting a TV series has received more than 50,000 comments and retweets.
But most of the comments were criticizing him.
"You are Qi Ji's illegitimate son, how can you be able to play the role of Chenxiang?"
"How much money did you pay Qi Ji? Qi Ji actually darkened the character of Yang Jian for you, directly destroying the image of the incarnation of smart, wise, and righteousness that he had created before."
"I feel like, is this kid Qi Ji out of touch? Now his status can indeed be said to be the number one person in our domestic entertainment industry, but he can't ruin his own reputation like this. Yang Jian is so good.
A character can definitely leave a milestone in domestic film and television dramas, but why has it become like this now? What did Qi Ji think?"
"Lian An, get out of the entertainment industry right away. This show "Baolian Lantern" is not meant to flatter you. I don't believe it myself."
In the past few days, Lian An is following the Baolian Lantern crew to record programs on TV stations across the country and promote them.
At this moment, he had just finished recording a variety show on Modu Channel. Just after it ended, his executive manager took a look at the comments on Weibo.
As a newcomer, he is still very worried about word-of-mouth public opinion on the Internet.
Lian An's brows knitted together: "Sister, I'm so scared. Why are so many people scolding me?"
Of course he knew the follow-up plot of Lotus Lantern, but he couldn't bear the pressure of online public opinion.
Lian An's executive manager is a very experienced entertainment agent within Miracle Entertainment. She gently patted Lian An on the shoulder and said seriously:
"In this industry, if you want to become popular, you will definitely be criticized. Every move you make will be magnified countless times, not to mention the TV series you play. You are not like you in Baolian Lantern.
What's the problem? Everyone is scolding you. It's actually because the role of Yang Jian in our boss is too unexpected. But you also know how the subsequent script will be, especially the finale! So we don't need to worry at all.
So don’t worry about them at all, we can just go through our normal publicity process.”
Although he said that, Lian An is a newcomer after all.
In the end, the executive economy had no choice but to tell him not to read the comments on Weibo during this period.
All relevant promotional Weibo posts can be posted on your own agency.
Not only Lian An's Weibo, but also Qi Ji's own Weibo received wild comments from the audience.
"Qi Ji, you have become more and more popular since you won the World Singing King. How dare you? You destroyed the god-like character you created with your own hands, right?
?”
"Brothers, let's boycott the Lotus Lantern together. If we compromise again this time, I feel that Qi Ji will still feed you shit in the future. I think we didn't resist when he destroyed Huang Rong's character. I think he wrote
We didn't resist when the Dragon Knight came out. If we don't resist this time and still let Qi Ji be so willful, then if Qi Ji feeds us shit from now on, do you have to eat it with peace of mind?"
"Qi Ji, what on earth are you thinking? How dare you? Did you drink too much when you were writing the script of Lotus Lantern?"
There are more and more voices insulting Yang Jian and Qi Ji online.
And things finally came to a climax when Yang Jian directly killed Chen Xiang's fourth aunt, and the entire audience exploded.
"?????"
“Fuck!
I’m all stupid!”
"What's going on? I was still taking chances before, thinking that this was just a cover-up. In fact, Yang Jian still likes Agarwood, but now that I look at it, I see that he is a complete villain."
"Brothers, I personally think that the Lotus Lantern should be viewed as a fan work of Fengshen Universe. It can be seen that Qi Ji has a great idea. He used the Lotus Lantern to combine Journey to the West and Fengshen Universe.
They are all connected in series. In fact, if you have to say, if there was no image of Yang Jian in Fengshen Universe before, I think there is no problem in taking out the entire Baolian Lantern separately, but the realistic concept is that we have already
I accepted a very good positive image like Yang Jian, and now suddenly there is such a big villain, the psychological gap is really too big, I simply can't stand it."
"Damn it, it's really abhorrent! Qi Ji is really destroying the Yang Jian he created with his own hands. There is no other way. We can only watch Baolian Lantern as a fan TV series. Don't have too many true feelings.
A real sense of substitution.”
at home.
Today the whole family is sitting together to eat.
While talking, Qi Ji's mother became very angry. She was looking at the lotus lantern and was almost mad at Yang Jian in the story.
She glanced at Qi Ji while holding the bowl, snorted softly, and then tilted her head to look at Mu Yunxiu: "Xiuxiu, if you come back for dinner recently, you can just come back with your two children.
Don’t bring this kid back.”
Mu Yunxiu pursed her lips and snickered.
The two children looked at their grandmother in surprise.
Qi Ji looked at his mother in confusion: "Isn't this just a TV series? Your sense of empathy is too strong."
And finally, the Lotus Lantern ushered in its final moment.
Chenxiang is ready to cut into the mountain to save her mother.
Netizens criticize and criticize, but they still have to watch it, so the current ratings of Baolian Lantern are stable at 2%~3%.
The ratings have always been ranked No. 1 in the same period.
And in the finale.
Everyone saw that when Chen Xiang was about to kill his enemy, Yang Jian fell into the Fuxi Water Mirror, and everything in his past was reflected.
Everyone saw that the Three Holy Mothers were naughty when they were young, and Yang Jian revealed his magic power in order to save his sister. As a result, the Jade Emperor sent people to destroy her family, but Yao Ji only blamed Yang Jian.
I saw the hardships Yang Jian put in raising his sister.
After seeing Hou Yi betraying Chang'e and trying to steal the elixir but accidentally dying, Yang Jian transformed into Hou Yi and spent three months with Chang'e in order to prevent Hou Yi's image from being shattered in Chang'e's heart. Chang'e always felt that during these three months,
Although there was no physical contact with Hou Yi, she missed him the most.
I saw that the lotus lantern originally had a male and female pair, and Yang Jian originally had a male lantern, but in order to save Nezha, he used the male lantern to make Nezha's body.
Seeing that Liu Yanchang actually wanted to marry someone else when San Sheng Sheng was imprisoned, Yang Jian cast a spell on him, making him loyal to San Sheng Sheng and raising Chenxiang with all his heart.
The reason why Yang Jian did this was actually to force Chen Xiang to grow up quickly.
Without his so-called persecution of Agarwood in the early stage, Agarwood would not have grown to such a powerful level so quickly.
…
At this point, the story finally takes a shocking turn.
In the previous 30-odd episodes, Yang Jian was completely shown as an out-and-out villain, and at this moment he was completely cleared.
The plot of this episode can be said to be the climax of the entire Lotus Lantern. It aroused the emotions of all the viewers and directly opened everyone's tear ducts.
“Wocao!
"
“Mom!
So that’s it!
"
"Ahhhhhh! Just torture me to death!"
"
"I admit that my voice was a little louder before. Yang Jian is still the Yang Jian in my heart, the Yang Jian who can give up his life for the Three Realms."
"What's going on? Damn, my heart is going to be broken. Qi Ji can be a screenwriter."
That night, the entire network felt the terrifying power of controlling people's hearts brought about by the plot twist of the Lotus Lantern.
The top ten hot searches on Weibo were directly included in tonight's episode.
[Yang Jian: After being the villain for 30 episodes, can’t I live a good life for myself? 】
[The Lotus Lantern finally comes to an end amidst constant controversy. Where will the fate of Chen Xiang and Yang Jian go? 】
[In the finale of Lotus Lantern, Chen Xiang rescued his mother and found Yang Jian’s sincerity. 】
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! [Were you tortured by the finale of the Lotus Lantern? 】
【The story turns unexpectedly.】
[Qi Ji has deceived all living beings in the three realms with his acting skills. Has he deceived you? 】
[I would like to call Qi Ji the number one screenwriter in China. Who is against it and who is in favor? 】
[I don’t believe that there are still people who don’t feel sorry for Yang Jian after watching the finale of Lotus Lantern.]
On Lian An's Weibo, countless people came to apologize.
"Ahhh! I'm sorry little brother!
"
"Your interpretation of Agarwood is so good. Of course, your acting skills are still very different from those of Teacher Qi Ji. Damn, Qi Ji's performance of Yang Jian deceived all of our audiences."
"Hahahaha! Their emotions are too high. We have all wrongly blamed you before. I'm really sorry, young man. Your acting skills are still very good. If you develop well, you will definitely have a place in the Chinese film industry in the future.
.”
Qi Ji's Weibo.
"I'm sorry, Teacher Qi Ji. I admit that my voice was a little louder before."
"Qi Ji, you are God!
"
"Damn it! After the entire drama "Baolian Lantern" has shaped Yang Jian's image, I feel that this character can really become a god. He has the love of the three worlds in his heart. This is the Erlang God in my heart.
ah."
"As expected of Qi Ji himself, he gave all his best qualities to Yang Jian. Now Yang Jian has surpassed Li Bai and Su Shi as the number one male protagonist of Qi Ji in my heart! I believe that even if
In the future, even if Qi Le completes the Five Thousand Years of China series, there will not be another person who can move me more than Transcendence!"
at home.
Qi Ji took the baby back to his parents' house today, feeling confident and holding his head high.
"Thinking of you for 365 days..." He hummed the theme song of the Lotus Lantern and walked back into his parents' house.
My mother smiled and cooked a table of delicious meals for Qi Ji: "Since you are a good person, you should have told me earlier and let me watch it by myself for half a month. I have been feeling uncomfortable for so long. What the hell are you going to do?
Do you have filial piety? Fortunately, I have always firmly believed that Yang Jian has always been a good person."
Qi Ji: "..."
The shocking reversal caused by the lotus lantern surged across the entire network for more than half a month before it finally subsided.
However, Qi Ji's classic screenwriting style of wanting to promote but first to suppress has aroused a lot of discussion in the Chinese screenwriter circle.
In a group of front-line editors in China.
"What do you think of the plot of Qi Ji's Lotus Lantern? On the surface, it seems that Chen Xiang is the leading male lead, but in fact, if you watch the finale, you will find that Yang Jian is the absolute leading male lead in it.
, especially after all the stories in the finale were reversed and Yang Jian was whitewashed, the emotional resonance simply detonated the inside of all the viewers."
"Although this kind of reversal is very simple, it is still relatively difficult to actually use it. After all, it requires a lot of foreshadowing in the early stage."
"Qi Ji's screenwriting ability is definitely one of the best in our country. I have been reading Qi Ji's "China Five Thousand Years" series recently. I carefully described the characters, history, and age changes in it.
It’s all recorded, and I think we can learn a lot from it.”
…
During the period when Baolian Lantern was broadcast, Qi Ji was basically in a state of rest.
My impressions of the Lotus Lantern and the physical book of Journey to the West were both very good, so Miracle Entertainment directly launched the second movie of Journey to the West [Girl's Country].
The king of the Daughter Kingdom is played by Gu Jing, who once played the role of Wu Zetian.
There is absolutely no problem with appearance.
Qi Ji stayed on the set of Daughterland for a week and then returned to the company.
Today he will personally discuss the Three-Body TV series project with other TV stations.
The overall production of the three-body system is basically completed.
Because of the good reputation of The Wandering Earth Trilogy, many TV stations in the industry want the TV series The Three-Body Problem.
Today there are more than 5 TV station directors who came to Miracle Entertainment, including even the deputy director of CCTV.
Everyone was furiously arguing inside Miracle Entertainment.
Qi Ji looked at him from the side and was too embarrassed to go in and interrupt.
In the end, several station directors finally reached an agreement among themselves.
This TV series was still given a prime-time broadcast on CCTV.
After it was over, the deputy director took Qi Ji's hand and said seriously:
"Qi Ji, I solemnly invite you once again to direct our Spring Festival Gala. We will use all resources to cooperate. I believe you have the ability. You are in the music and variety show circles
Inside, in the film and television circles, it has basically been achieved to the extreme. The only thing you lack now is actually the stage director. You have to make yourself a pentagonal warrior."
The deputy director described the future for Qi Ji seriously.
It was as if Qi Ji wanted the moon in the sky to be the stage for the Spring Festival Gala, and everyone was ready to do it for Qi Ji.
Qi Ji thought about his schedule in the next few months. Basically speaking, it is not impossible to direct the Spring Festival Gala.
So he said: "I'll give it a try, but let's make it clear first that I can't guarantee the ratings of our Spring Festival Gala."
The deputy director laughed and said: "As long as you are here, our ratings are guaranteed!"
