Chapter 593 'Yu Zui' is crazy, 'Mountains and Seas' is finished
"Remaining Sin" has received more and more positive reviews from the audience since the second day it was aired. In addition, after the ratings from film and television communities such as Douya.com, it has been proved from a third-party perspective that this is a good drama.
Dramas with high ratings don't necessarily have ratings, just the number of plays.
After all, there will still be situations where the show is not popular but is popular.
However, a drama with high ratings will make the audience watch at least one episode.
"Remaining Sin" is indeed very interesting to film. Once the audience has watched the first episode, they will keep reading.
The performances of the leading actors are also very hard and each has its own characteristics.
Therefore, the single-day playback volume of "Yu Zui" continues to rise, rising from 70 million views on the first day. One week after it was launched, the single-day playback volume exceeded 100 million.
It has officially begun to dominate the suspense drama market in April.
Moreover, this time "Remaining Sin" has no rivals. If viewers want to watch a suspense drama, this is the only one they can choose.
As a result, netizens and audiences were all discussing "Remaining Sin".
With the blessing of "Remaining Sin", the brand reputation of Mist Theater has been established.
Wandou Video also dominated the online video market in April with "Yu Zui", ranking first in the entire network in terms of monthly active users and VIP growth.
Gong Jianbin felt very emotional that accepting the investment from Ark Culture was a right move.
According to the current growth trend, Wandou Video is very likely to surpass Penguin Video and become the number one video website in China.
What's even more frightening is that this time "Remaining Sin" was not shot by Fang Xing himself, but by the director brought out by Fang Xing.
In the directing industry, not to mention directors who can produce hit dramas, as long as they can produce profitable dramas, they are scarce resources.
In the film and television industry, even great directors cannot guarantee that every drama will be a hit.
Therefore, directors who can make stable and profitable films are scarce resources.
If he can produce one or two hit dramas on the basis of ensuring profits, he will be a great director.
Gong Jianbin recalled carefully and found that Fang Xing was really scary. He had filmed seven dramas, each of which was a hit.
What’s even more frightening is that the directors he brings out can also produce blockbusters.
Zhang Yigao has had two hits in a row, "Dark Man" and this time "Remaining Sin".
Both are popular dramas with ratings of 8 or above and over 100 million views in a single day.
This level is already the level of a great director.
As long as Zhang Yigao can maintain this level, it doesn't even need to be that stable. As long as the subsequent dramas can achieve a 7-point level and an average of 60 million views, he can maintain his status as a great director.
The ability to bring an assistant director to the level of a great director is terrifying.
Moreover, Mist Theater was very successful.
Even Fog Theater no longer needs Fang Xing to direct the filming of the drama. As long as he takes out the script and gives it to Zhang Yigao to shoot, the quality of Fog Theater can be guaranteed.
…
"Remaining Sin" in April was completely crazy.
The number of views in a single day exceeded 100 million, which is not the peak yet.
After the word-of-mouth continued to ferment, the climax of "Remaining Sin" approaching the finale reached 120 million views in a single day.
This also made several leading actors popular.
However, the male protagonist Zhang Shanyi is indeed not the type that fans in the fandom like, so his ability to make money is incomparable to that of top idols.
Compared to starring, Zhang Yigao is more popular as a director.
When "Remaining Sin" was launched, he talked about Fang Xing's wedding banquet at the event live broadcast, which attracted a lot of attention. Now, the suspense drama has exploded twice in a row, and he has begun to gather the divinity of a great director.
If there is anything he lacks, it is that he has not yet had a hit TV series that has reached stardom.
Although "Dark One" and "Remaining Sin" are popular, these two dramas are online dramas.
Although young viewers now mostly follow dramas on video websites and fewer and fewer viewers watch TV stations, becoming a star is still a test.
The TV series directed independently by Zhang Yigao has not yet been broadcast on satellite TV.
Due to age differences between satellite TV viewers and video website viewers, a drama that is popular when broadcast online may not be popular when broadcast on stars.
Therefore, if Zhang Yigao wants to truly become a great director, he still needs to prove himself on satellite TV.
Of course, at this time, Zhang Yigao was the most popular director in the film and television industry.
Because he is at the stage where he has produced two hit TV series but has not yet proven himself on the stars, so he is only one step away from being a great director.
Therefore, many film and television companies have offered conditions to poach Zhang Yigao.
There are even big companies that are willing to start S projects for him and promise not to interfere with the filming.
S project, which means a large-scale production with an investment of 300 million.
Usually, only big directors can receive such projects.
After all, film and television companies are also worried about wasting their investment.
The reason why film and television companies are willing to offer such conditions is very simple.
At this time, if you can dig Zhang Yigao, the profit will be the highest as long as you can dig it.
Zhang Yigao's two consecutive hit dramas proved that the ceiling is very high.
If there were only "Dark Man" and "Remaining Sin", the film and television companies in the industry would be worried that Zhang Yigao would stop working if he left Fang Xing.
However, Zhang Yigao proved very early that his lower limit is not low.
"The Elegance of the Tang Dynasty" is an ancient puppet produced by Ark Culture, but Fang Xing did not participate in the whole process.
Although this drama was not a hit, it used a group of new actors to produce a small hit drama. This drama is enough to prove that his lower limit is guaranteed.
If the film and television company offers an S project, even if Zhang Yigao only produces the lowest level of "The Elegance of the Tang Dynasty", it can still make a profit.
The film and television company's expectations for the project are actually not that high. As long as it can make a profit, it is a good project.
The operation strategy of most film and television companies is to ensure that most film and television projects maintain capital, and occasionally release a hit movie to make a lot of money. That is a high-quality film and television company.
Therefore, after "Yu Zui" was broadcast, Zhang Yigao received many invitations from people in the industry, and there were dinners and drinks every day.
Zhang Yigao was dumbfounded when he heard the conditions for opening these film and television companies, and he almost became moved.
But in the end, he decided to stay in Ark Culture for a few more years.
After all, there is still "Dark Ones 2" yet to be filmed.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Moreover, he is now starting to dream of getting one or two director nominations.
…
When "Yu Zui" swept the TV drama market in April.
"Mountains and Seas" has also been officially completed and post-production has begun.
Post-production and editing are all handled by professional teams.
Fang Xing finished shooting all the scenes, watched them again, and after confirming that there were no problems, left the set and went home to be with his wife.
After being separated for so long, the two stick together every day.
However, life has also undergone some subtle changes.
Because my identity is different, but I still feel the same as before, sometimes I feel like I am in a trance, is this really how I started a family?
The names of the other two people have not been changed either.
The two of them always felt that they couldn't pronounce the title of husband and wife, and they felt that they had not fully adapted to their new identities.
The filming of "Mountains and Seas" has been completed, and Lu Xiang'er's pregnancy has been more than four months, and her belly has begun to show slight changes, with a slight bulge.
However, it doesn't look obvious.
"Has my belly gotten bigger? Will it look bad?" Lu Xiang'er would stare at her belly every night, worrying about this and that.
"No, it's slippery and very fun." Fang Xing would tease her every time.
"But it started to bulge." Lu Xiang'er rubbed her belly with both hands and sighed.
"It's not that big. It'll probably look like this when you're full." Fang Xing said.
Lu Xiang'er frowned and hummed: "My waist is so thin, when did it become like this after eating too much?"
"You're good-looking. You look good in everything." Fang Xing reached out and touched his belly.
Lu Xiang'er raised her hand and knocked off Fang Xing's pig's trotters, took a bottle of moisturizing oil from the bedside table, and began to apply oil on his belly.
Fang Xing's face was full of questions: "What are you doing?"
Lu Xiang'er touched it and said, "Apply oil to prevent stretch marks."
Fang Xing came closer and stared: "There are no lines, no lines at all."
Lu Xiang'er rolled her eyes: "By the time you see it, it will be too late."
Fang Xing complained: "Women are really troublesome."
Lu Xiang'er immediately glared: "It's not your fault, so of course you can relax."
Fang Xing leaned over, hugged her, gave her a kiss, and comforted her: "Actually, I'm quite tired from having a baby."
"You're so tired!" Lu Xiang'er felt sweet in her heart, but she still had to keep a straight face and play nice.
"By the way, when is the prenatal check-up date? I'll arrange a time to go with you." Fang Xing changed the topic.
"Isn't the filming of the drama finished? You've been lying on your back for the past few days, how do you plan your time?" Lu Xiang'er complained.
"I'm staying at home with you. I have a lot of work, and the post-editing is left to the editing team, but I still want to go take a look." Fang Xing rolled his eyes.
"If you want to work, go ahead. Anyway, I'm so strong, I can take care of the baby by myself." Lu Xiang'er said, flattening her mouth and showing a arrogant expression on her face.
"Okay, then I'll go back tomorrow for post-natal care and ask my mother to accompany you to the prenatal check-up." Fang Xing fell on the pillow and started to sleep.
"Um?"
Lu Xiang'er just wanted to be coquettish, but she didn't expect that she would really become strong. She glared, but didn't say anything, and lay down to sleep.
After she lay down, she said, "If you don't put your feet over the baby at night, I'll kick you."
"It seems like you are the one who stretches your feet to press me, right? I sleep so peacefully," Fang Xing replied.
"You are so quiet when you sleep, huh!" Lu Xiang'er turned sideways and faced Fang Xing with his back.
Fang Xing chuckled, hugged her from behind, reached out to touch her belly, and then quickly took it back: "Rub a hand with oil."
Before Lu Xiang'er could get angry, Fang Xing quickly changed the subject: "By the way, when can we start prenatal education?"
Lu Xiang'er casually replied: "Six or seven months. By then, the belly will be bigger and uglier."
"No, Xiao Xiang is so beautiful." Fang Xing comforted her in a soft voice.
"Then prepare a basic story book and tell the little one a story during prenatal education." Lu Xiang'er has been reading parenting-related books at home during this time.
If the father can participate in prenatal education, it will be better for the baby and he can feel his presence earlier.
Fang Xingxing asked instead: "How about singing to her? Do you have to tell a story?"
Lu Xiang'er thought for a while and said, "It should be OK. Try telling stories and singing. The book says that babies have different preferences and prenatal education methods are also different.
"If the baby likes it, she will respond."
"Does the reaction mean kicking you?" Fang Xing asked.
"Yes, if you are strong enough, you might kick me in pain!" Lu Xiang'er said this with a look of gritted teeth.
Fang Xing took the phone, pulled out a fetal movement video, and handed it to Lu Xiang'er to show: "Look at this fetal movement video, it's amazing."
The video was taken of a pregnant woman's belly, and you can see that her month is already very big.
When the fetus is moving, the baby in the belly pushes hard on the belly, making the belly bulge, and you can even see the shape of the soles of the feet imprinted on the belly.
Moreover, when pedaling, he will also move his position, pedaling all the way from the left to the right.
If you hadn't known that there was a little baby inside, the belly would have been pushed up so high that it would have looked like an alien.
As soon as Lu Xiang'er saw this video, she felt bad: "Our little guy can't be so fierce. I feel like my belly will be kicked open!"
Fang Xing thought for a moment and asked, "Would it be better for the fetal movement to be more intense? Or quieter?"
This video is obviously a special case, because the movements are so exaggerated that it was posted online and seen by so many people.
Lu Xiang'er shook her head and replied: "It's not good either too intense or too quiet. Babies who are too intense will be more active, and older ones may be little devils. It's not good to be too quiet. It's better to be more lively."
Now, Lu Xiang'er began to worry. She was worried that the baby in her belly was too active. If she was too active at night, she might not even be able to sleep well in the third trimester.
If it is too quiet, you may worry that your baby is too introverted.
In short, I worry about everything.
Fortunately, Lu Xiang'er's morning sickness during her first trimester was not severe.
During her prenatal check-up, she joined the hospital's pregnant women's group and often exchanged experiences with other pregnant women in the group.
Some pregnant women experience severe morning sickness in the early stages of pregnancy. They vomit whatever they eat, even a grain of rice.
Every time Lu Xiang'er saw the complaints of pregnant women in the group, she was very happy that her morning sickness was not very severe, and she didn't even vomit much.
However, after the worries about morning sickness ended, I started to worry about fetal movements again.
Among pregnant women, many fetal movements in the third trimester are particularly violent. When the baby kicks the belly at night, it is like kicking a ball. Some of them can even cause pain to the belly.
Before turning off the lights and going to bed, Lu Xiang'er thrust a parenting book into Fang Xing's hand and said, "This is yours."
"What is this?" Fang Xing glanced at the cover. The title of the book was "Accompanying My Wife to Pregnancy".
"Your textbook for this semester." Lu Xiang'er replied seriously.
"The angle of this book is... tricky." Fang Xing had to admire the angle of this book.
the next day.
Fang Xing did not go to the company to monitor the editing work of "Mountains and Seas", but accompanied Lu Xiang'er to the hospital for a prenatal check-up.
In order not to disturb other pregnant women undergoing prenatal check-ups, Fang Xing put on a mask.
Although being recognized is not a big deal, being photographed and posted online can still be a little troublesome.
even so.
Some people would still glance at the two of them from time to time.
Lu Xiang'er was also worried about being recognized, so she whispered: "I said you don't need to come. If you are recognized, it will definitely be written as entertainment gossip."
She was very conflicted. She actually wanted Fang Xing to accompany her, but she was worried about being recognized and causing unnecessary trouble.
Moreover, after pregnancy, the pregnant woman's body hormones are like a roller coaster, rising and falling, which manifests itself as emotional instability, inexplicable loss, melancholy, worry about this, and worry about that.
Lu Xiang'er's emotional ups and downs are not exaggerated. She has never lost her temper, but she does feel depressed occasionally.
"Don't worry, this is the obstetrics and gynecology department. We come here for prenatal check-ups. No one will pay attention to us. Moreover, I also want to be with you. When the baby comes out, we will accompany her to grow up and not miss any important things.
