At the entrance of the hotel, a group of people finished lunch and were about to disperse.
As he walked, Mr. Cao said: "The project director I am recruiting will be in place tomorrow. I have to trouble Mr. Chu to make more trips to the company. The functional requirements of the platform still need to be checked by Mr. Chu."
The plan was planned by Chu Xuan. Chu Xuan knows best what the game platform needs.
Before formally developing the platform, a demand analysis of the platform needs to be developed. It is more efficient for Chu Xuan to contact and communicate with the project director.
This was what was agreed before, and Chu Xuan readily agreed: "Tomorrow, Liu Yifei and I will come over to communicate and complete the demand analysis in the shortest time possible, so as not to delay the communication between Mr. Cao and Alipay."
To discuss joint operations with other platforms, only the game and profit system are enough.
When discussing payment channels with Alipay, you must come up with a project for Alipay's reference.
If you want the project to start smoothly, you need to analyze the requirements and then hand over each module to the corresponding technical group to develop the platform according to the requirements.
Therefore, the next task for him and Liu Yifei is to analyze the platform's needs with the company's project director.
"Mr. Wu, Mr. Liang, Mr. Bi." Chu Xuan stopped and looked at the three bosses: "The three of them will go back and recruit talents from each department as soon as possible. They will plan their five games and speed up the development schedule.
If you have any questions, we can contact you anytime.”
"Okay." The three bosses nodded.
"Three of you." Liu Xiaoli looked at them and said, "Then I'll come over and meet up tomorrow morning. I'll make a few trips with you to get the investment matters done as soon as possible, so that you can handle the next thing easily."
Without investment funds, the three bosses were unable to move ahead with this huge plan. When they heard Liu Xiaoli's words, they all smiled: "Sorry, Mr. Liu."
The corners of Liu Yifei's mouth curled up slightly, her mother was now promoted to Mr. Liu.
"Goodbye."
The two parties said goodbye to each other, got in their cars and left.
On the road, Chu Xuan drove a car at high speed.
Liu Yifei was sitting in the passenger seat, playing Snake on her mobile phone.
Liu Xiaoli was sorting documents in the back seat. After sorting the documents, she put them in her bag: "Will your "Struggle" start at eight o'clock tonight?"
Liu Yifei said "Yeah", and the greedy snake on her phone hit the wall. She quit the game and said "Yeah": "Yes, at eight o'clock tonight, mom, let's watch it together."
Liu Xiaoli put all the documents away and pulled the zipper of her bag: "What are you watching? Watching you fall in love? What's the point of going to TV to watch something I can see every day?"
Liu Xiaoli's joke made Chu Xuan raise the corners of his mouth and look at Liu Yifei and smile.
Chu Xuan honked the horn twice. Seeing Chu Xuan's face, the gatekeeper of the community opened the electronic door to let him through. Immediately, the vehicle drove into the community.
…
Since the news of the launch conference of "Struggle" spread in July last year, the audience has been looking forward to it.
As on-screen partners, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei moved to the city after the ancient costume trilogy of "Dragon", "Sword" and "The Condor", which also surprised the audience and fans.
"Struggle" was completed at the end of September last year, and the audience has been looking forward to its broadcast.
Almost everyone has the same expectation, which is to see what kind of feeling Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei will have when they partner up in an urban drama.
In January of this year, the news of the scheduled release of "Struggle" was confirmed. The information broadcast by the three major channels was so big that it not only raised eyebrows among the audience, but also shocked people in the industry.
But for the audience, it was a pleasure for them to see a drama starring their favorite idol having such a big name, and they didn't think so.
But for people in the industry, this news means breaking the current situation of TV stations only broadcasting exclusively. This is definitely a blessing to people in the industry, and it also allows them to focus on "Struggle".
What will the overall ratings of the three major channels be? Will it be a complete explosion? Or just mediocre?
Some people are looking forward to it, some are waiting and watching, and some people have dark thoughts about "Struggle" hitting the streets.
Everyone has different ideas.
For viewers and fans, the drama starring Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei will definitely be popular.
Today is the day when "Struggle" premieres, and the audience and fans are also igniting their passion on micro-entertainment.
[Eight o'clock in the evening! Brothers and sisters, remember to go and see it!]
【Okay, okay, how could you forget?】
[I just want to ask, which channel is better to watch? Mango Channel? Shancheng Channel? Jiangsu and Zhejiang Channel?]
[Whatever, no matter which channel you look at, they all support Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, it doesn’t matter.]
[I asked my parents to watch Mango TV in their room, and asked my grandma to watch Shancheng TV in her room, and I watched Mango TV in the living room. How about this operation? 】
【Hahaha, this is awesome, you know how to play!】
[Shit, do you have three TVs at home? Rich, let’s be friends.]
Because "Struggle" is about to premiere, viewers and fans are abuzz with discussions on the Internet.
In the hearts of the audience and fans, their idols are unique.
It has been in business for several years, but the output is pitifully low.
Take Liu Yifei as an example, the situation was almost the same in "Golden Dust" in 2003, "Dragon" in 2004, "Sword" in 2005, "The Condor" in 2006, leaving aside Chu Xuan's "Talent and Beauty".
Other stars have as few as two or three dramas a year and as many as N dramas, unlike the two of them, who only have one drama a year.
Obviously they have good resources, but they don't film more, as if filming one more drama will delay their romance, making them, the audience and fans, wait and wait every day for news about the two of them in the film and television drama.
However, although there are few works, they became popular as soon as they were released and became a classic in the minds of many people.
This situation has made the audience's expectations for Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei's new drama directly heightened.
After "Struggle" was finalized and the synopsis of the story was publicized, many viewers couldn't help but have their own speculations about it.
Urban inspiration and urban idol have these two elements.
Since there are idol elements, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei must be a couple. There is no need to guess. This is also common sense among the audience and fans.
As for the urban inspirational elements, combined with the title "Struggle", you can know that it is probably a story about young people working hard in the city.
So, what will be the emotional line between Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei? This question has aroused many people's speculation.
[Didn’t the introduction of the story say that the leading cast are all college graduates? Let’s take a blind guess. Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are classmates. Due to their different majors, they each struggled in different fields. Then they met by chance and finally got together.
】
[My guess is that due to the obstruction of both families, two people who clearly love each other cannot be together, but they each agreed to work hard to prove their careers to their parents, and finally get married after becoming famous.]
[I can’t guess the plot, but what I can guess is that Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei will definitely go through all kinds of twists and turns. Anyway, they can’t be together until the finale. ]
【My thoughts are the same as above.】
[Seeing the thoughts of all you "screenwriters", I want to say that if I, as a screenwriter, knew what you were thinking, I would directly go against the routine and let Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei be together in the first episode, shocking your attention. ]
[Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were together in the first episode? How is it possible? Is there such a good screenwriter? 】
[Impossible, judging from the emotional lines of "Sword of Immortality" and "The Condor", it would not be the style of their dramas unless something happens.]
[Exactly. If Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were together in the first episode, I would eat the keyboard!]
Audiences and fans express their thoughts every day, which is enough to show their love for Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, as well as their full expectations for "Struggle".
And under this long-standing expectation, "Struggle" started broadcasting on time at 8 o'clock in the evening.
"It's about to begin!" In the small villa, Liu Yifei saw that Chu Xuan was busy chatting on QQ on his mobile phone, and couldn't help but tug on his hand.
Chu Xuan put down his phone and raised his head to watch TV with Liu Yifei.
Liu Xiaoli came from the kitchen carrying fruit. Although it was said that she watched two children falling in love every day, and it was not interesting to watch it on TV, it was still a work produced by two children after hard work, and she was looking forward to it in her heart.
Liu Xiaoli sat next to her daughter, holding the fragrant pear in her hand, eating and watching.
At the same time, Xiaoyun from Shenghai’s countdown to watching TV commercials was about to end, and she was busy sending messages in the QQ group: [The broadcast is on!].
Xiao Xi from Beijing saw the message in the QQ group. She was eating at the dining table and quickly picked up her rice bowl, ran to the sofa in the living room, sat down, and turned on the TV.
Siblings Xiaoru and Xiaohui, who were studying at Star City University, came to the home of a local classmate and sat side by side on the sofa in small groups, waiting for the ad countdown to end.
At this moment, countless viewers across the country were sitting on the sofa in the living room like them. The TV was showing either Mango Channel, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Channel, or Shancheng Channel.
It is not yet known how wide the viewing coverage of the three major channels' simulcast is. The answer can only be known after today's broadcast ends.
After a while, in the eyes of countless viewers across the country, the long advertisement finally came to an end.
When the screen went black and the process of changing the screen started, everyone became energetic.
As soon as the screen lit up, the theme song also started playing.
[“Same airport, different world.
Same coffee, different taste."]
"Ah - "Wings" sung by Lin Junjie!" A female audience member was pleasantly surprised when she heard Lin Junjie's singing.
"Okay, the crew has the vision to use this song as the theme song." Many viewers said, looking very interested.
"This song is so good!" Many viewers praised.
In Chu Xuan's memory, the theme song of "Struggle" is not this.
Zhao Baogang and Shi Kangna are not musicians. The theme song of "Struggle" was chosen by people from the marketing department of Bright Times based on the script and the market.
Choosing "Wings" sung by Lin Junjie as the theme song also surprised Chu Xuan at the time.
It is probably because of the investment from Brilliant Times that the crew still had some funds after filming was completed.
And the popular song sung by a popular little king, combined with the drama of two top actors, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, made "Struggle" even before the feature film came out, and young audiences across the country were even more excited.
The audience felt comfortable due to the good music, and slowly turned their attention to the picture——
In the airport lounge, Chu Xuan was sitting on a chair holding a cup of coffee, and Liu Yifei was standing next to Chu Xuan. The two of them looked at Su Chang's back as he headed to board the plane, with melancholy expressions on their faces.
[“The same me, and I have a little less.
Look at the plane flying across the sky, it’s gone.”]
The plane Su Chang was sitting on pierced the sky and disappeared into the clouds.
【“Fly with the wings you gave me,
I understand this is not sadness.
No matter how high you go, you won’t get tired,
We all agreed."]
"There's something wrong with this plot. Why do I feel like there's something going on between Chu Xuan and Su Chang?" Xiaoru said while sitting on the sofa. She felt something was wrong.
In this picture, Su Chang's lonely back is on the departing plane; Chu Xuan is holding a cup of coffee with a hesitant expression on his face.
Combined with the slightly sad lyrics, why do you feel that this theme song is describing Chu Xuan and Su Chang?
What about Liu Yifei?
Speaking of this, Chu Xuan had to admire the marketing department's idea of choosing this song.
In the understanding of the marketing department staff, this song is combined with the story of "Struggle". The first half of the lyrics sings about the mood of Mi Lai, played by Su Chang, and the second half of the lyrics sings about the mood of Xia Lin, played by Liu Yifei.
Due to the existence of the male protagonist Lu Tao, these two women have different emotional lines and development routes.
The song "Wings" is also an inspirational song, and the lyrics fit perfectly with the plot of "Struggle".
Combined with "Struggle", it ultimately expresses two meanings: Liu Yifei's Xia Lin moves forward bravely because of love, and Su Chang's Milai gives up love and chooses independence.
Both of these meanings are very positive and reflect female personality. When Chu Xuan heard this explanation, he was so impressed that he gave the people in the marketing department a thumbs up.
This song is really interesting as the theme song of "Struggle".
But the audience is not Chu Xuan, and they have not watched the plot yet. From the theme song and the opening scene, there is a vague speculation that several characters in "Struggle" are in a love triangle.
This made the audience, who were completely focused on Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, feel a little uncomfortable.
But guesses are just guesses, and we have to look at the plot before we say anything.
When the title and theme song disappeared, the main scene of campus youth and vitality came into view of the national audience - Chu Xuan and Huang Xuan walking on the road to campus, preparing to graduate.
"Chu Xuan's modern image is even more beautiful than the ancient costume image." Xiaoru held a bag of potato chips in her hand and looked at the sunny and energetic Chu Xuan on the screen, her eyes twinkling.
"Super handsome." Hanhan, the classmate next to him, nodded repeatedly.
Xiaohui rolled his eyes, can't you girls look at something else?
The plot at the beginning of the TV show showed that Chu Xuan and the others were university graduates, indicating their major in architectural design, and the makeup also initially established the basic image of the starring team in the drama.
However, when a group of students were celebrating their graduation on campus, Mi Lai, played by Su Chang, drove up in a BMW and went straight to Chu Xuan with flowers in hand, wanting to hug Chu Xuan.
"Sure enough, they have something going on!" Shenghai Xiaoyun frowned. Although Su Chang was a first-line star, and although she knew that Su Chang was a good friend of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, the appearance of this scene still made her uncomfortable.
However, when she saw Chu Xuan avoiding Su Chang's hug, she narrowed her eyes in relief and praised Chu Xuan's behavior.
Xiao Xi, Xiao Ru and many viewers across the country also feel the same as Xiao Yun at this moment.
In their hearts, the locked couple relationship between Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei has become a complex that they cannot tear apart, making them unable to see Chu Xuan being with other women, and also unable to see Liu Yifei being with other men.
together, even in the drama.
And when more and more viewers have such a complex, it proves that Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei's "national couple" route is becoming more and more profound and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
In the following plot, audiences across the country learned about various relationships between the characters from the dialogues. It turned out that Mi Lai had been pursuing Lu Tao for several years, but Lu Tao had a strong self-esteem and Mi Lai's family background was very good, so Lu Tao never accepted Mi Lai.
Su Chang behaved indifferently in the play. Maybe Lu Tao's rejection was not just once or twice, she had already been used to it. It just happened to be a good day for graduation, so she invited Lu Tao to have dinner, and also invited her good friend Xia Lin.
Charlene?
Liu Yifei is going to appear?
More than half of the first episode has passed, and the heroine has not yet appeared. Now it is expected that the heroine Liu Yifei will appear, which has raised some expectations among audiences across the country.
The scene changes from the youthful and energetic atmosphere of the campus to a billiards room that in most people's minds, only boys go to.
In front of a billiards table in the billiards room, Liu Yifei was wearing a baseball cap and blue suspenders with a lollipop in her mouth.
"Wow! Can Liu Yifei still be so cool?" Hanhan looked at the TV. She was surprised by Liu Yifei's appearance. This was an image she had never seen before.
On TV, Liu Yifei stood up straight, holding a billiard cue in her right hand and wiping the head of the club with chocolate in her left hand.
Immediately, she put down the chocolate, bent down, stretched out her left hand and leaned on the billiard table, raised her thumb, and held the cue in her right hand between her thumb and index finger.
She raised her eyebrows slightly, and under the close-up lens, her eyes were bright and clear, looking directly at the No. 8 black ball on the billiard table.
The camera panned upward, giving a panoramic view of Liu Yifei's back in mid-air. In the picture centered on the position where the club head in Liu Yifei's hand was aimed at the white ball, Liu Yifei was seen pulling back the club and pushing hard again.
"Ba——"
"Dong——"
The No. 8 black ball quickly entered the warehouse in a straight line without any sloppiness.
The white ball was firmly positioned in front of the original position of the No. 8 black ball, motionless.
To use the professional terminology of billiards, Liu Yifei hit a "fixed stroke".
Watching the ball being put into storage, Liu Yifei put down her cue and calmly picked up her cell phone that was ringing.
"So handsome!!" Sheng Hai's Xiaoyun beamed.
"So cool!" Xiao Xi from Beijing was beaming.
"It's so cool!" Xiaoru and Xiaohui were shocked.
In "Golden Dust", Liu Yifei is pure.
In "Dragon", Liu Yifei is dull.
In "Sword and Fairy", Liu Yifei is cute.
In "The Condor", Liu Yifei is an ice beauty.
However, wearing a baseball cap and suspenders, eating a lollipop, hitting the billiard table with a standard posture, he hit the target, and then walked away calmly.
Have they ever seen Liu Yifei like this?
And the way Liu Yifei appears may become a classic in the minds of many people.
This ends the first episode.
Although Liu Yifei, as the heroine, only appeared at the end of the first episode, the scene in which she appeared is definitely something that people will not forget easily.
This short scene reflects the initial personality of the character played by Liu Yifei.
Under Zhao Baogang's deliberate design, except for Liu Yifei, all the other people in the billiard room were men.
It is used as a foil to highlight the personality of Liu Yifei's character Charlene, as well as her character that does not adhere to the constraints of various rules and regulations in society.
Through makeup and movements, Liu Yifei initially created a very individual Charlene.
With the anticipation of audiences across the country, the second episode was launched.
Charlene received a call from Mi Lai inviting her to dinner and happily went.
It was just another person who was playing billiards with Charlene and followed her like a follower.
The screen jumps to a restaurant seating area, where Chu Xuan and Su Chang are already seated, waiting for Liu Yifei's arrival.
From the dialogue between the two, the audience understood the relationship between the characters.
Charlene and Mi Lai are classmates and best friends from another school, but Charlene has never met Lu Tao and only heard about it from Mi Lai's mouth.
The most amazing thing for the audience is that Xia Lin has a suitor who has been pursuing her for several years, but Lu Tao also has a suitor named Mi Lai, who has also been pursuing him for several years.
"What kind of divine gambit is this!" Xiaoyun couldn't laugh or cry.
"Lu Tao has a suitor, and Xia Lin also has a suitor. Lu Tao's suitor is Xia Lin's best friend. Oh my god, how can they get together so well!" Xiao Xi glared.
"What kind of complicated relationship is this? How should this plot develop?" Xiaoru was dumbfounded. Xiaohui and Hanhan next to him were also confused by the opening of the male and female protagonists.
"I knew something was going to happen. Given the complexity of the relationship, if Lu Tao and Xia Lin were to be together, it would definitely be difficult." Xiao Hui looked stunned, as if he had expected it.
.
Many viewers across the country deeply agree with their views.
Xia Lin wants to be with Lu Tao, what should her best friend Mi Lai do?
Lu Tao wants to be with Xia Lin, but Xia Lin also has a boy she has been pursuing for several years blocking her way. What should we do?
Many viewers watch "Struggle" with Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei in mind. Of course, what they want to see most is Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei being together happily and happily in the drama.
However, under the baptism of urban idol dramas in the past, audiences across the country believe that Xia Lin and Lu Tao really want to be together. Judging from the current situation, it seems difficult to do so, and the complex relationship between the characters is a bit unsolvable.
According to the analysis of previous urban idol dramas, if two people want to be together, they must first get rid of Mi Lai's best friend, comfort Mi Lai, and then get rid of Charlene's suitor, let him give up voluntarily or some plot will happen to make him
keep away.
After all this is settled, the male and female protagonists can be together smoothly.
To put it simply, in the minds of audiences across the country, the suitors of Mi Lai and Charlene are obstacles and villains. The villains must be solved before the male and female protagonists can be together. This is a very normal logic.
However, the plot that followed severely slapped all viewers across the country in the face!
After playing a small game in the restaurant, Chu Xuan asked for Liu Yifei’s phone number.
That night, Chu Xuan called Liu Yifei out.
On TV, two people were walking on the street and talking softly to each other.
"Why go to France? Isn't it better to stay at home?"
"You care about me?"
"Is it possible to stay?"
"why?"
"What if there's someone who really wants you to stay?"
Seeing this, many viewers felt a throbbing feeling in their hearts.
"Then it depends on whether this person can impress me."
"Do you believe in love at first sight?"
Xiaoru was startled, is this a confession?
Xiaoxi is cute, isn't it? You have only known each other for a day!
Xiao Yun was stunned, this is only the second episode! How can there be any idol drama where the male and female protagonists are together in the second episode? Either they have to love each other to the death, or they have to beat the villain to death in the finale before they can get together?
"believe."
"Charlene..."
On the TV, Chu Xuan looked at Liu Yifei, and Liu Yifei looked at Chu Xuan.
As soon as Chu Xuan opened his mouth, Liu Yifei opened her mouth at the same time, and they both said in unison: "I like you."
Under the streetlight, two people looked at each other, and their shadows were very long.
Audiences across the country were shocked. On the first day they met, they met twice and they were together?
Charlene, what should you do with your best friend Mi Lai?
Lu Tao, aren't you afraid that Xia Lin's suitors will beat you up?
The male protagonist dumps Bai Fumei, who has been chasing him for several years, and the female protagonist dumps Gao Fushuai, who has been chasing him for several years, and then the male and female protagonists become a pair like lightning?
Good guy, can idol dramas still be filmed like this?
“So handsome!!”
"It's so exciting! This plot is really exciting!"
"Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei got together in the second episode. I give "Struggle" full marks!"
"That's it! What's the point of watching those stumbling idol dramas? It has to be so direct! It has to be so individual!"
"Holy shit, is it so exciting! It's love at first sight!"
"Hahaha, I like this kind of plot, but I still want to see Mi Lai's psychological shadow."
