Chapter 147: The current reputation is polarized, and Xu is overturned.
After returning to Chengdu, Xu Ji began to formally prepare for the filming of Fairy Sword.
At present, all relevant preparations have been completed.
The relevant actors have also been confirmed.
During this period, in addition to asking Pang Er to determine the shooting location in advance, Xu Ji asked the actors to study the script carefully.
Among the actors finally selected in the open audition, there are actors from small entertainment companies, as well as actors from Tianpo and Tianwu.
Xu Ji didn't think much of the origins of these people.
The only condition is that the image must match the role and the audition can meet Xu Ji's requirements.
The actors who passed the audition were also very happy.
You must know that for this audition for Xu Ji's The Second Sword, almost everyone from the entire entertainment industry, especially second- and third-tier actors, came. You can imagine how fierce the competition is.
Of course, the actors from Phoenix Entertainment did not appear.
During the audition, even some A-list actors came.
And it’s for a supporting role.
Many people were shocked by the appeal of Fairy Sword.
And there are actually some top actors who have passed the audition.
The confirmed actors in Demon King Tower are first-line actors.
Or Tianwu, one of the top three.
Just when Fairy Sword is about to be launched, "The Beginning", which has been promoted for a week, is about to be broadcast.
......
Although Sang Shaolong has memberships on all platforms, he ultimately chose to watch dramas on G station.
After all, he is the up owner of G station, so he still has certain feelings for G station.
He also knows that G station is developing movies and TV shows, and he will try his best to support it if he can.
Originally, he planned to make more videos about movies and TV series on the G station, and even the officials came to him.
But in the end, in the past two years, G station was able to produce almost only Xu Ji’s three dramas.
As for the others, whether they were filmed with their own investment or purchased the copyright to be broadcast.
Not to mention it sucks, I don’t even have the desire to let Sang Shaolong make a video complaint.
Just when Sang Shaolong was thinking wildly, it was time for "The Beginning" to be broadcast.
He directly clicked on the first episode and started playing it.
......
"I want to call the police, there is a bomb on the No. 45 bus!"
"They are about to drive onto the cross-river bridge!"
......
Although he didn't see the name of the speaker, Sang Shaolong still recognized that it was She Yue's voice because it was the original voice.
Bus, bomb?
At this time, Sang Shaolong couldn't help but guess the direction of the next plot.
But because the play had just begun and there was too little information, he had no clue.
Li Shiqing woke up on the bus, and Xiao Heyun, who was sitting next to her, saw that she was sweating profusely, so he took the initiative to hand over a tissue.
Not only was he not thanked by the other party, but Xiao Heyun, played by Ji Yiyang, was framed as a pervert by Li Shiqin.
Li Shiqin wanted to ask the bus driver to drive directly to the police station, but failed to think about it. In the end, she had to pull Xiao Heyun and get off the bus halfway.
......
When Sang Shaolong saw this, he could probably guess that this bus should be the one that Li Shiqin, played by She Yue, called the police just now.
But why could she know there was a bomb on the bus?
And just now, did the bus explode once?
Before Sang Shaolong had time to think about it.
Suddenly there was an explosion in the screen.
At the same time, Li Shiqin, who got off the car, was knocked to the ground by the electric car and fainted.
.....
"Loop?"
When Sang Shaolong saw Zhang Cheng asking Li Shiqin about the plot in the hospital, he was suddenly stunned when he heard Li Shiqin's explanation.
The reason why Li Shiqin wanted to get out of the car even though she framed Xiao Heyun was because he had already experienced four explosions before.
At the end of the first episode, it ended with the scene of Xiao Heyun having a cardiac arrest in the hospital, but then regaining consciousness in the bus.
Sang Shaolong couldn't wait to click on the next episode.
The first episode left too much suspense.
And although the concept of time loop was not something he had never seen before, Sang Shaolong had to say that he was still very interested.
......
At the beginning of the second episode, Xiao Heyun and Li Shiqin indeed entered the cycle.
This time, Xiao Heyun was like Li Shiqin before. He tried various methods, but still failed to get out of the car.
Finally, the explosion struck again, and the two woke up on the bus again.
After analysis, they believed that the explosion occurred due to the collision between the bus and the oil tanker.
The traffic accident was successfully avoided by using the reason of heart disease. Just when Sang Shaolong also breathed a sigh of relief, the bus exploded on the cross-river bridge again.
Not because of the tanker truck?!
Sang Shaolong originally thought it was not a simple traffic accident, but now he discovered that it was not.
......
The premiere of "The Beginning" only lasted for three episodes, but the following two people once again used perverted ways to get off the show.
However, he was suspected by the police and was detained directly in the police station.
After the two went through the cycle ten times, the relevant information they obtained was very limited.
Basically it can be described as no progress.
As a viewer, Sang Shaolong, who has watched three episodes, is also clueless.
He had many guesses, but in the end they were overturned by himself because he received too little information.
"Is this the end?"
Sang Shaolong was stunned for a moment and looked at the subtitles at the end of the film.
What was the reason for the bus explosion?
Why does it loop?
He was filled with doubts at this time.
This drama uses the concept of a cycle, which can be regarded as filling the suspense part of the suspense drama.
Then he also realized that this drama was different from the previous suspense dramas.
As far as the plots of these first three episodes are concerned, the popularity will definitely not be low!
......
Just as Sang Shaolong thought, on the night when "The Beginning" was broadcast, Twitter was full of discussions about the plot of "The Beginning."
"Damn it, I feel so eager to know the next plot!"
"In just one episode, the bus exploded so many times. I think it should be called the beginning instead of the explosion!"
"You can get out of the car now. Although you are locked up, you should be able to escape from the cycle, right?"
......
The popularity of "The Beginning" completely exceeded the expectations of the three online broadcast platforms.
Before, I just thought that although this drama would be popular, I didn't expect it to arouse such a big discussion.
Although the data after the premiere is not very impressive, with the current popularity, it is estimated that the number of plays will increase rapidly in a short period of time.
Even if it is a three-way network, the copyright will not be lost.
Even the most profitable among them is Kiwi. After all, they have a large number of paid members. Although the membership renewal rate they bring is low, the number is steadily higher than the other two.
Of course, the only one who feels a little uncomfortable is the penguin.
At this time, Xu Sheng had a headache for a while when he saw a bunch of news related to "The Beginning" on the hot searches on Weibo.
At this time, Vice President Bi Feihong also walked in.
"Mr. Xu, the playback volume of the new drama we launched the day before yesterday has dropped today."
Xu Sheng sighed.
He guessed that the current popularity of "The Beginning" would definitely affect the recently aired dramas on his platform.
The key is that the other three companies all have copyrights, but Penguin Video does not.
It is estimated that the data of these new dramas will continue to decline in the next few days.
"Don't worry about it."
"Let's continue to follow the original publicity and distribution plan."
......
Fortunately, there are no big-invested dramas being aired online recently, they are all low-cost online dramas.
The impact was within his acceptable range.
......
When "The Beginning" aired, Xu Ji didn't pay attention because at this time, the second part of Sword and Sword was about to officially start filming in two days.
"Xiao Xuzi, how about I go to the set with you?"
Sha Yetong and Xu Ji were lying on the sofa.
She knew that she wouldn't be able to see Xu Jiren in two days, so she simply said this now.
After Xu Ji thought for a while, he felt that there was no problem.
"Then you go and pack your luggage?"
But when it comes to this, Sha Yetong gives up.
"Forget it, it will affect your filming when the time comes."
Although they grew up together and stayed together for too long, the two of them still get tired of each other like ordinary lovers.
But if you want to see Xu Ji, visiting a class or something is not impossible.
If you stay on the set, it might really affect Xu Ji's filming.
Xu Ji retorted:
"Why did you affect my filming?"
Sha Yetong silently pulled the collar of her pajamas to her shoulders, revealing her beautiful collarbone.
When Xu Ji stared subconsciously, he quickly pulled him back.
Then he rolled his eyes and said, "What do you think?"
Xu Ji's old face turned red.
Maybe it was because he had been clean for more than 20 years, so after Xu Ji got together with Sha Yetong, he found that his concentration was not as good as before.
......
"You two just follow me from now on."
Yang Anran didn't expect that she would also start to bring new people.
I think back when he was filming Xian Jian Yi, he joined the crew as a commercial photographer, and it has been almost a year now.
During this period, I also filmed "Mountains and Seas" with director Xu.
The shooting environment was much harder than it is now.
The shooting environment of Sword and Sword Part 2 has improved a lot since it started filming.
At least I can stay in a normal hotel.
"Pango."
Seeing Pang Er, Yang Anran quickly went up to say hello.
Pang Er rolled his eyes at him angrily.
"Who is your Pang brother?"
After Yang Anran heard Pang Er's words, he couldn't help but smile and said:
"Brother Pang, look at you, why are you so stingy?"
"Isn't it because I didn't go to the crew of "The Beginning"?"
"I'll treat you to dinner after I finish work in the afternoon."
——"A word is settled."
Pang Er wasn't really angry either.
After all, Yang Anran had told him before that he felt that his level was not good enough, and he would not dare to be the first photographer of the crew until he had studied with Director Xu on a few more dramas.
"By the way, how about the new recruit this time?"
After hearing Pang Er's question, Yang Anran said:
"They are much better than the last time I came in from Fairy Sword One."
"After all, the reputation of our crew is there now, and the young people who can be selected now are all young people with great potential."
Pang Er nodded.
This time the crew actually didn’t need any more people, but Xu Ji still asked him to recruit some people.
It can be considered as a continuation of the training plan.
People like Yang Anran, who has filmed two dramas with Xu Ji, now have a lot of experience.
Keeping up with Xu Ji’s shooting pace is not a problem at all.
Even compared to before, Xu Ji can now learn a lot more easily.
You don’t have to do a lot of things yourself.
......
On the third day of filming for the second part of Sword and Sword, Sha Yetong came from Rongcheng to visit the crew.
Some of the old people in the crew are used to it. After all, Sha Yetong even stayed on the crew for a while when filming Fairy Sword One.
Xu Ji was a little surprised to see Sha Yetong.
"Didn't you just send me a message saying that Sister Man asked you to take the show?"
Sha Yetong walked to sit down next to Xu Ji, and then replied: "I wanted to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect that I was discovered just after entering the set."
......
Not far away at this time, Ji Yiyang and a group of people were hiding aside and secretly looking in the direction of Xu Ji and Sha Yetong.
"Do you think Director Xu and he are together?"
An Cailing answered: "Observe with my eyes as a love mentor."
"It seems not yet."
"I feel like he's just one chance away."
"Let me tell you, although this kind of childhood sweetheart sounds very sweet, it is difficult to become a couple in the end."
"Because we are too familiar with each other."
......
After hearing An Cailing's analysis, Ran Bai couldn't help but quietly asked Ji Yiyang beside him.
"Wasn't she a traffic idol before?"
"The company still lets her fall in love?"
Ji Yiyang rolled his eyes speechlessly.
"Don't listen to her blind analysis. She has been single since she was born."
Ran Bai:......
"What are you doing here?"
When several people heard Zhu Zinan's voice, they quickly collectively "shushed" and motioned for her to keep her voice down.
But Zhu Zinan looked at the eyes of several people and suddenly shouted excitedly, "Tongtong!"
When Sha Yetong and Xu Ji heard this voice, their faces darkened.
He stood up without hesitation and left in a hurry.
......
Seeing Zhu Zinan chasing after her, An Cailing was not very happy because her analysis was interrupted.
Then he looked at Ran Bai and asked:
"How long have you known each other?"
Ran Bai was stunned for a moment.
"What?"
"Me and Zinan?"
"It's been a long time. We joined the previous agency together and stayed there for five or six years."
An Cailing nodded.
"Hurry up and draw a clear line."
"Don't let her get fired by Director Xu and cause trouble for you."
......
The launch of the second part of Sword and Sword is very low-key, unlike some other dramas that create a wave of publicity when it is launched.
But in fact, with the popularity of the fairy sword, this is really not necessary.
......
At the same time, the third episode of "I Am a Songwriter" was finally aired.
For netizens, although the update cycle of "I Am a Songwriter" is much longer than other programs.
But the popularity of the show has always remained high.
As soon as the broadcast started, it was still commercial time, and the barrage took up the entire screen.
"Finally here!"
"Why is the update cycle of this program getting longer and longer, and the time is not fixed?"
"The song "Ideal" in the last issue made me cry. I don't know if I can find any good songs in this issue!"
......
"Welcome to the third issue of "I am a songwriter."
"First we will announce the ranking of votes from the previous issue"
......
As the screen began to flash back to the voting results of the previous period, the barrage also began to make jokes.
"Well, the program team has worked so hard, so I will reluctantly look forward to it."
“It’s the least suspenseful part of every issue again.”
"I bet on Xu Ji's first place, but I don't know what the odds are? [Gotou]"
......
Then comes the announcement of this issue’s co-singer.
When they saw the name announced on the show, a small number of viewers excitedly typed out the band's name.
Of course, there are only a few scattered people.
Most of the barrages are still confused. Even the most famous band, DarkGate, is actually not known to many people.
"Is this band famous?"
"I saw some comments being posted, it seems like these bands are not the same amateur bands as in the last issue?"
"It doesn't matter who he is, I'm here to listen to the music anyway, as long as the song is good!"
......
And when several bands began to perform officially and entered the process of selecting songwriters and lyrics, this sense of fragmentation became even more serious.
A small number of people usually like to listen to rock music, and netizens who know some of these bands are excited to post comments.
"Damn it, the band's live performance is still as stable as ever!"
"Rock fans are ecstatic! Thinking about the final collaboration with the songwriter in this issue, I started to look forward to it."
"I'm jealous that I can go to the official performance later. The Ange Band's live performance is really noisy!"
......
But for the vast majority of netizens, they feel confused.
"Does this sound good? Why don't I feel it?"
"Why do I feel that the quality of these bands is not as good as the amateur singers in the previous issue?"
"It's so noisy, I can't appreciate it..."
......
But even here, there are still many audiences looking forward to the official performance.
After all, if you can collaborate with songwriters and songwriters, you might be able to create a wonderful chemical reaction.
It’s time for the official performance.
The first one to appear was the anti-gravity band formed by Zongge and Yan Fen.
A song that rock fans think is okay.
But most netizens feel that Zongge’s lyrics and music have been overturned.
“Zongge’s song doesn’t feel right.”
"I can't understand why I could get 88 votes."
"It doesn't sound good!"
......
The same goes for the next second set of edge Ruxuan sets.
Still received complaints.
Even many viewers felt that this song was not worthy of more than 80 votes.
"Of these four groups, the first two groups seem to have bad reviews!"
"The remaining Feng Huan and Xu Ji should be much better, right?"
"I always feel that the program team chose a rock-style song with such a small number of listeners this time, which is a bit too risky."
......
The Ange Band came on stage, and their song "Crazy Animals" directly brought the number of votes for Feng Huan's group to 94.
At this time, the rock fans in the barrage were excited.
"That's awesome! Feng Huan deserves to be a great songwriter who started out in a band!"
"The collaboration between Ange Band and Feng Huan really feels like a qualitative leap!"
"The quality of this issue is great. I feel it is much more exciting than the previous issues!"
......
But in comparison, other netizens are still indifferent.
"This issue is so exciting! I haven't even heard a good song so far."
"I don't understand why the audience is so excited. I might stand still like an idiot."
"Didn't I say that Feng Huan's group was the strongest before, but this is the result?"
"94 votes? Are the media judges serious?"
......
Not surprisingly, Xu Ji, who appeared last, still received the same treatment.
After singing "Highway Song" by the Screaming Band, Xu Ji became a famous songwriter in many comments.
"Not even Xu Ji, why is there not a single listenable song in this issue?"
"The quality has dropped seriously, and the expectations brought by the previous issues were too high."
"The four songwriters finally came up with every song that was listenable, and the media judges gave it such a high vote score that I even doubted whether it was a script."
......
On the day when the third episode of "I Am a Songwriter" was aired, this program still dominated the hot searches on Weibo.
But this time, unlike the previous two episodes, which received rave reviews, the reputation of the third episode has become seriously polarized.
The most searched term on Weibo is #《我是songwriter》,disappointment#
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
“I don’t really like any of the rock-themed songs in this issue.”
"I don't know what I was thinking, why I chose these bands. I might as well have replaced them with the amateurs from the previous issue."
"Everyone is crazy about lyrics and music, and so is Xu Ji. This is my favorite song among Xu Ji's songs."
......
At the same time, there is another entry on the hot search on Weibo.
#Rock'n'Roll Is Dead#
Obviously, the comments are from rock fans.
"I was really excited after watching this program, especially the song "Crazy Animals" by Feng Huan and "Road Song" by Xu Ji. It felt like I was going back to when I was young and first came into contact with rock and roll." "I think both "Crazy Animals" and "Road Song" are of high quality and are definitely excellent rock songs. But when I saw those multiple comments, I could only sigh helplessly and didn't even think about arguing.
There really aren’t many people who listen to rock nowadays, and they are all older people like us.”
"There were voices saying 'rock is dead' all around. I yelled 'no' and 'no' at the top of my lungs, but when I came to my senses, it seemed that the only voice left was my own." p>
......
At this time, director Mo Jianwen, who was watching the hot search for "I Am a Songwriter", saw the polarization of word-of-mouth in the third issue, and suddenly realized that he had fallen into a misunderstanding this time.
He has always felt that his rock-themed program was well planned, and judging from the final effect, it was also quite good.
Two high-quality rock songs were released: "Road Song" by Xu Ji and "Crazy Animals" by Feng Huan.
The response from the audience and media judges was also quite good.
But after the broadcast, Mo Jianwen suddenly remembered that in fact, the audience and media judges at this time did not represent the vast majority of the audience watching the show.
The popularity of "I Am a Songwriter" is destined to mean that this program is not only for the small number of rock fans.
Media judges are originally engaged in the job of music review. The judges listen to a wide range of song types and know how to judge the quality of a rock-style song.
As for the audience at the scene, those who can actively sign up to participate and have been screened by the program team must have a certain foundation of listening to rock music.
Mo Jianwen looked through the original questionnaire for screening the audience and saw the item "the style of music I usually like to listen to" among the questions set by his staff.
In other words, the audience at the scene cannot represent the audience of the program from the beginning.
Unexpectedly, it overturned the audience in terms of music style.
Mo Jianwen couldn't help but smile bitterly.
In the past, it was because every program was a hit, and the ballads in the last program were also very effective, so I was distracted.
"It seems that we need to change the original format of the subsequent games..."
Mo Jianwen has never considered himself to be a stubborn person, and he does not make programs for the so-called ideals and passions, but for the popularity, traffic and money.
......
At the same time, Xu Ji, who had just finished filming the night scene, also saw the online comments on the latest issue of "I Am a Songwriter".
