The release of "the 1997" successfully caused quite a stir in the music world.
"New Boy" also successfully started the continuous chart domination mode.
After Jiang Yuan covered this song, many singers in the industry began to cover it, and the covers can be heard on all major video platforms.
The spread of the song is very wide.
In addition to the popularity of the album, the concept and coordination of the entire album have also managed to gain a good reputation.
Physical sales are also in a booming mode, successfully exceeding 200,000 copies and heading towards 250,000.
Sales even fell in a single day.
The album's follow-up promotional activities, such as book signings and album tours, have also entered the preparation stage after discussions with Lu Qing.
In the few days after Lu Qing's album was released, Jiang Yuan didn't have much free time. He was basically busy shooting music videos or advertising pictorials.
The variety show that was filmed with the crew of "The Temptation of Going Home" some time ago has also been launched one after another in the past few days to warm up the new drama.
The latest episode of "Spring Camping" set a record for the highest single-day broadcast of the entire season.
The related publicity of "The Temptation of Going Home"'s competitor "Mengxue" did not fall behind at all.
Even before the series was aired, rumors of a suspected love affair between the male and female protagonists had already been reported, which stirred up the CP and gained momentum.
The industry is also full of expectations for the collision between these two dramas, which are completely incompatible and will be aired on the same day.
In the domestic entertainment fan circle, this is regarded as a confrontation between Jiang Yuan and Meng Ziyang, the two top figures. The relevant entertainment forum has even opened a special discussion thread.
[New drama launched/Two top celebrities, Jiang Yuan and Meng Ziyang, who are you more optimistic about? 】
As soon as this post came out, it was very popular, and it immediately received hundreds of replies.
[It’s hard to say, but Meng Ziyang can be considered an actor by training. Jiang Yuan has never filmed a movie before. He wrote the script himself. I think it’s suspenseful.]
[Jiang Yuan’s traffic has skyrocketed among the big four and three small now, right? It’s probably stronger than the traffic, but I don’t know about his acting skills.]
【If you look at the face alone, I would choose Jiang Yuan.】
[With this script, "Mengxue" seems to have a great chance of winning.]
【Who is a professional and who is an amateur, it is clear at a glance! 】
[Laughing, Meng Ziyang’s acting skills are considered the worst among the three primary school students, right? Can this be used to make people laugh? 】
[I’m optimistic about Jiang Yuan. Since the collapse of his house, his career has been very prosperous. This wave may directly lead to Meng Ziyang’s rise in the film and television industry! 】

There is a lot of discussion on major social platforms, and everyone is waiting for the two dramas to be released.
At the same time, this is not just a collision between Jiang Yuan and Meng Ziyang.
Fans of Song Ah and Moon Ji Hyun have basically united with Jiang Yuan's fans and are very united.
With such discussion, the day when the two dramas were officially aired came unknowingly.
"The Temptation of Going Home" is broadcast exclusively on Penguin TV, and "Mengxue" is broadcast on Kiwi TV.
The two dramas received similar treatment on their respective platforms. Both dramas were promoted on the home page and launched at 12 noon.
It adopts a model of six episodes being released at once. Ordinary users can watch the first two episodes for free, and the next four episodes can be watched in advance by activating VIP.
At 12 noon, the first time the two dramas were released, You Yunfei sat in front of the computer screen.
This middle-aged man in his thirties wearing thick glasses has VIP membership on all video platforms. His true identity is the operator behind the account "Old Friends Talk about Movies".
This can be regarded as a self-media job. I usually review new dramas and movies, and do film reviews from a sharp and funny perspective, which is quite popular on the Internet.
This time, before the two TV series "Mengxue" and "The Temptation of Going Home" were officially launched, the two parties had already begun to quarrel with each other on the Internet.
From You Yunfei's point of view, it was simply an incident where God favored the food and materials fell from the sky.
With so much heat, there's no reason not to indulge in it.
Therefore, he planned to watch these two dramas as soon as possible and immediately uploaded a comparative film review video.
However, You Yunfei hesitated for a few seconds in the order in which he should watch the two TV series.
Each has their own hesitations. "Mengxue" has a good background in the original work, but Meng Ziyang has been a point of criticism in his previous videos, and his acting skills are really eye-catching.
As for "The Temptation of Going Home", it was too unknown. Jiang Yuan's acting skills were unknown, but in the end the script was still written by Jiang Yuan.
After weighing the two sides, You Yunfei decided to watch "Mengxue" first.
At least the story structure is guaranteed. In his opinion, after reading the script written by Jiang Yuan, he may not have the strength to watch "Mengxue" again.
"Dream Snow" started playing, and the title song was the theme song sung by Meng Ziyang.
The song was bought, and Meng Ziyang's singing skills are unknown, but the later stage of the song is still pleasant to the ears.
After the opening credits, the plot begins to advance.
"Mengxue" can be regarded as a drama with a city background as the main line of love mixed with some fantasy elements.
It tells the story of a pair of lovers who were once together, meet again a few years later, and rekindle their old love.
After the corresponding background introduction at the beginning, the story of the hero and heroine when they were young was played.
As soon as Meng Ziyang's face appeared, You Yunfei's voice immediately started to make complaints.
"Sure enough, his acting skills are like wood. He has no expression at all. He is playing a high school student, and he is not youthful at all."
You Yunfei decisively turned on double-speed viewing. He needed to produce the video quickly.
The six episodes were finished at double speed in one go, and You Yunfei also listed many points worth complaining about.
Of course, the main focus is on Meng Ziyang.
Meng Ziyang has a lot of traffic and a lot of negative fans, and he can earn a lot of traffic by complaining.
What's more, Meng Ziyang's acting skills are indeed the biggest flaw of this drama.
Other than that, the drama "Mengxue" is not too bad.
You Yunfei has never read the original work, so he doesn't know how well the series has been restored, but the overall viewing effect is smooth, and the pictures shot by Wang Sheng are indeed beautiful.
"However, the pace is still a bit slow. For a love drama, six episodes have almost passed, and the male and female protagonists are not yet together. The biggest contact is holding hands. Pure love is a bit too pure," You Yun said.
Fei shook his head.
After summarizing the points of complaint, You Yunfei made an objective judgment.
There is a high probability that this drama will still be popular, the plot is not bad, and you can watch it regardless of the male lead's acting skills.
Fans of Meng Ziyang will definitely be able to ignore his acting skills.
After thinking about it, he reluctantly found a few clips of Meng Ziyang's expressions.
Although he hasn't watched it yet, in You Yunfei's mind, he has already compared "The Temptation of Going Home" to an object of disdain, so he found a few bright spots of Meng Ziyang.
After saving the material, You Yunfei clicked on Penguin TV again.
The home page of the platform is just a big poster for the series.
Scanning the faces of the leading actors one by one, You Yunfei felt a little relieved.
At least the appearance of this drama is on a higher level than "Mengxue". If it is a bad movie, it can somewhat alleviate the pain of watching the movie.
Click play and "Unforgiven" plays.
You Yunfei has listened to this song several times.
It's just that he originally thought that the official theme song should be changed to a different one. After all, in his opinion, Jiang Yuan's music is a major advantage.
Unexpectedly, this time it was not used thoroughly in the TV series.
Some of the scenes in the opening sequence of "Unforgiven" made You Yunfei feel a bit magical.
It's just the BGM of a bloody drama combined with the visuals of an idol drama.
The title sequence ends and the first scene begins with the wedding.
"He Jing's directorial skills are quite good, and the picture quality is quite good." You Yunfei confirmed first.
Moreover, the wedding arrangements came up, which was a bit unexpected for You Yunfei.
“There’s actually a kissing scene so soon!!!”
Jiang Yuan and Song Ya's wedding kiss made You Yunfei's eyes widen involuntarily.
You must know that when I just watched "Mengxue", for six episodes, the male and female protagonists only held hands.
It only took less than five minutes and we were already kissing.
Thinking about it again, Jiang Yuan and Song Ya were originally male and female exes.
Now we are filming a love TV series together. Isn’t this better than an idol drama? You Yunfei got it right away.
CP sense is also a relatively metaphysical thing.
Some artists are incompatible if they stand together, and some people are just in the same frame, and CP fans can live and die together.
Jiang Yuan and many of his ex-girlfriends fall into the latter category.
You Yunfei even thinks that judging from the positions on the poster, Jiang Yuan and Wen Zhixian also have a sense of CP.
Next, the conversation between Hong Shixian and Ellie backstage at the wedding fulfilled You Yunfei's premonition and even made him stop preparing to start the double speed.
The development of this kind of character relationship.
"It's interesting!" You Yunfei murmured to himself, then continued to read attentively.
Next, You Yunfei carefully examined the acting skills of the actors.
Of course, there is no need to say more about Song Ya and Wen Ji Hyun.
Both of them have shot many film and television works, and they are very natural in front of the camera, without much trace of deliberate performance.
Because of the development of the plot, You Yunfei subconsciously ignored Jiang Yuan's performance just now.
Now that he went back and did it again, he realized that Jiang Yuan's performance was indeed good.
There was no sense of incompatibility in the scenes with Song Ya.
"This eye scene is great!"
"The feeling of a scumbag is spot on! It's not just wood?" You Yunfei exclaimed in admiration.
I have to say that Jiang Yuan's acting skills indeed exceeded his expectations.
Not much worse than professional actors, let alone compared to Meng Ziyang.
After bidding farewell to Ellie, Hong Shixian and Pinru kissed again, which made You Yunfei very satisfied.
It's only been a few minutes, and there are already two kissing scenes. This is so good!
Thinking about it, I clicked on the barrage and took a look.
【Mom, is it so exciting to come up? 】
[Although, the kiss scene between Jiang Yuan and Song Ya was really great!]
[Jiang Yuan still has some talent in playing the role of a scumbag, and he can be called a true character!]
【Ah ah ah ah, I’ve kissed you twice!】
[The appearance of idol dramas and the development of bloody dramas make it look better!]
[It’s a bit like the connection between Shixian and Ellie. Oh my god, this sense of immorality, what kind of evil cp! 】
——
The barrage of bullets slid across the screen, and in the blink of an eye, it was five years later.
Five years after Hong Shixian and Pinru got married, the two seemed to be living a happy married life, but in fact Pinru's mother-in-law repeatedly made things difficult and blamed Pinru for her failure to have children.
"This must have been on prime time ten years ago!" You Yunfei exclaimed.
This issue of the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was particularly hot back then.
Even now, there should still be a market among some middle-aged and elderly people.
As the plot continued to advance, Ellie sent a text message to Pinru, saying that she had returned to China from Paris and hoped that Pinru could pick her up at the airport.
But when Pinru and her brother Lin Yide arrived at the airport, Ellie left alone to the hotel and called Shixian.
"Is the progress so exciting from the beginning?" You Yunfei blinked.
I didn't realize at all that I had stepped into the perspective of an ordinary audience and watched the show seriously.
This plot rhythm, coupled with the texture of the picture and the appearance and performance of Jiang Yuan and others.
You Yunfei had already forgotten that this drama was the one he had been waiting for, and that the screenwriter was signed by Jiang Yuan.
The next scene between Shixian and Ellie in the hotel is the highlight of the first episode.
When Jiang Yuan and Moon Ji-hyun performed this section, they did it in one go and performed very smoothly.
In You Yunfei's opinion, it can be regarded as the highlight moment of the two actors' performances.
Although Moon Ji-hyun did the dubbing later, Jiang Yuan's parts were all original lines.
A large number of lines were spoken by Jiang Yuan, and this advantage was once again discovered by You Yunfei.
In sharp contrast to Meng Ziyang who uses dubbing next door.
Not to mention the performance, this original line is so comfortable.
At this time, the number of barrages also suddenly increased, sliding across the screen one by one.
[I would like to call this paragraph "The Scumbag's Great Principle"! ]
[Jiang Yuan’s lines are pretty awesome!]
[6. I finally know what Jiang Yuan meant when he said it clearly in the previous interview! 】
[Moon Ji-hyun’s acting is so good. I wouldn’t be able to resist this kind of seduction!]
[Although it’s a bit delicious, I still have to call him a scumbag!]
【Is the first episode so exciting? 】
You Yunfei watched the drama and the barrage at the same time, and felt the existence of Internet gossips.
"The most ridiculous thing is to get carried away by love, get divorced, get married, get married and divorce again..."
You Yunfei listened to Jiang Yuan's lines with great interest.
Then, Ellie's seduction gradually increased, and she even took off her bathrobe.
This made You Yunfei subconsciously sit up straighter.
In the play, Hong Shixian is still struggling to hold on, "Will you put your clothes on?"
You Yunfei was in awe, but he still spoke out his truth and persisted...
This thought lasted for two seconds before Ellie kissed her straight up.
In the third kiss scene of the first episode, the male lead is the same male lead, but the female lead is replaced by a second female lead!
"Fuck!" You Yunfei couldn't help but exclaimed.
It is very rare for a romantic drama to have a kiss scene between the male lead and the female lead before the episode is finished.
The key is that You Yunfei still finds it quite interesting.
The barrage was also occupied by a bunch of "Ahhhhhh!"
For the subsequent clips of the first episode, You Yunfei sped up his viewing speed slightly.
After showing off one episode, You Yunfei suddenly felt that this episode was better than the six episodes next door.
Does this film, written and acted by Jiang Yuan, seem to work?
