562 'Cannon Fodder Counterattack' and the Second Leader of the Nishinomiya Party
For Cao Xuan, Japanese propaganda is even more boring than domestic propaganda.
The two leading actors, the East and West Palaces, were closely watching, and this time they even sent a special supervisory army. Otherwise, Cao Xuan would also like to talk to a great health care immortal and collect some life materials.
As an actor, you have to live and learn!
Fortunately, in less than two days, several other leading actors from the "Three Kingdoms·Red Cliff" crew also arrived, and everyone could chat and reminisce about the past together, which was a good way to relieve boredom.
After all, there is a language barrier, and promotional activities are mainly interviews and road shows. Unlike traveling around the country, Japanese promotions are mainly around Tokyo.
After all, the total population of Japan is about 120 million, and Tokyo alone has nearly 10 million people. The Kyoto area composed of surrounding cities has almost 30 million people, accounting for a quarter of the total population, and it is still a quarter with relatively developed economic conditions. The focus of publicity must be
Put it here.
Of course, it’s not like we won’t go to other cities. We will set aside a few days for the creators to visit major cities such as Osaka, Yokohama and Nagoya.
During the promotion period, the crew and creators of "Three Kingdoms·Red Cliff" were wildly sought after by the Japanese media and audiences.
Last year, the movie box office was 8.4 billion yen, ranking second in the annual box office. This year, it is aiming for tens of billions in box office, and is expected to become the annual box office champion.
The two movies have accumulated a lot of popularity and popularity for the leading actors. Wherever they go, they are cheered by flowers.
For example, Mr. Bao Guoyu, who plays Cao Cao, is praised by Japanese netizens as "The Rebirth of the Japanese King"
In addition to the fact that the official title of "Shiguo" was first used during the Cao Lian period, many people regarded Cao Cao as a Japanese and suggested that the word "武" in [Emperor Wu of Wei] is actually the same as the word "渀", and
There are various arguments as proof.
Therefore, it is not only South Korea that steals ancestors, but Japan also has the bad habit of mistaking ancestors.
Cao Daguan, the direct bloodline of Wei Wu, was furious!
What best represents the popularity of Mr. Bao Guoyu as Cao Cao is the pictures of Cao Cao on the Japanese Internet. Almost all of them that appear first are stills of him in "Three Kingdoms·Red Cliff".
Cao Xuan received the same treatment, and his stills of Zhou Yu have become the representative picture of Zhou Yu's character. Not only in Japan, but also on the domestic Internet, it has surpassed Teacher Hong Yuyu of the 94 version of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and became the priority picture.
Just like Linghu Chong in "Swordsman", Zhang Wuji in "Heaven and Dragon Sword", Ximen Qing in "Water Margin"...
However, although Bao Guoyu is popular, it is the character Cao Cao that is more popular.
Jiao Enjun is different, [Dong Jiao Xi Gu Zhong Cao Xuan] is no joke. Although Lao Jiao is over forty years old, his appearance and charm are still the same as before.
Even because of his adult intellectual uncle style and unique charm, he is very popular with some Japanese girls, and even formed a support club for him, with a large number of people.
There was even a Japanese film crew that gave Lao Jiao a film appointment, allowing him to enjoy the treatment that Cao Xuan received back then.
But what is regrettable is that now there are basically no film crews offering film appointments to Cao Xuan.
It's not that Cao Xuan isn't popular, on the contrary, Lao Jiao's little bit of popularity is just wine and drink to him.
Wherever they went, countless Japanese fans were crazy about Cao Xuan. The momentum was so great that the creators of "Three Kingdoms·Red Cliff" were amazed and used the word "shocked" to describe it afterwards.
If Cao Xuan was still far behind Japan's top artists back then, now the two "Three Kingdoms·Red Cliff", which is among the top three box office performers of the year, have made Cao Xuan's popularity in Japan no less than that of those top local artists.
Even during the movie's hot release period, his popularity was as much as that of those at the top.
Because of this, surging popularity + super star status + Hollywood aura, Cao Xuan's salary has reached a level that can be called terrifying.
At least for most Japanese film crews, they definitely can't afford this money.
Cao Xuan personally led a team to Japan to promote, and coupled with the popularity of "Three Kingdoms·Red Cliff", the movie and their team of creators have become hugely popular in Japan
Not to mention making headlines every day, but they are always present in relevant entertainment news every day.
Cao Xuan, in particular, was even broadcast live online by many fans and media with text and pictures. He drank water at an event and was photographed and posted to fan support websites.
Such popularity caused Cao Xuan to be secretly poked and boycotted by fans of many Japanese actors and actresses, and the Japanese media even exclaimed.
After Bruce Lee in the 1970s and Cheng Long in the 1980s and 1990s, another movie star with phenomenal popularity in Japan appeared.
It is difficult to say clearly who among the three generations of superstars is the most popular in Japan, but relying on the development of the Internet and media today, Cao Xuan is definitely not the one at the bottom.
The huge popularity and popularity of the actors have made the publicity effect extremely good, and the momentum of "Three Kingdoms·Red Cliff" has been increasing in Japan. Throughout August, it has always maintained the first place in the box office growth rate during the same period.
By mid-September, the box office of "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff" had reached nearly 8 billion yen, just shy of the previous target of 10 billion yen.
The domestic box office is also doing very well. It has been released for more than a month and has successfully made a terrifying figure of 490 million yuan. It has been specially approved for a 30-day extension. It is only a matter of time before it overtakes "Painted Skin".
The popular performance of "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff" directly transformed Jiao Enjun, a TV star who was not particularly popular at first, into a first-line movie star.
The cumulative impact of the two movies has directly increased Jiao Enjun's salary more than ten times.
Before "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff", if Lao Jiao's film was offered a salary of 800,000, someone would definitely get it, but now, even if you pay 8 million, you may not be able to grab a slot.
This is no exaggeration at all. Zhen Zhen successfully turned around with just one "Ip Man", while Lao Jiao's "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff" did much better than him.
Of course, anyone with a discerning eye knows that "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff" relies on Cao Xuan, and Jiao Enjun is a big supporter.
It is precisely because of this that he only dared to ask for 8 million. If he were the protagonist of "Three Kingdoms·Red Cliff", the box office of two movies in the mainland would be close to 1 billion, and the overseas box office would be even more. Without a salary of 80 million, he would directly
Don't open your mouth.
Having said that, Cao Xuan successfully entered Hollywood and ranked among the top three Chinese-language films at the box office, which indeed made his salary reach a level that is difficult to calculate.
First of all, I am sure that 100 million yuan is not enough. Li Lianjie can get 100 million yuan. Cao Xuan is now famous and is worth more than him.
However, this creates a very embarrassing situation. The guaranteed cost is 100 million+, plus the production cost, it will be at least 150 million or more.
And the entire film industry now has several movies with a cost of more than 150 million every year.
This largely leads to the fact that Cao Xuan looks down on most of the crews who can afford to hire Cao Xuan, and most of the crews that he likes can't afford to pay him.
Fortunately, Cao Xuan is still a boss and is willing to use the salary to deduct investment. If he is a simple actor, he is unwilling to risk investment and cannot reduce prices, so he can only grit his teeth and wait for the opportunity, or even be reduced to "no drama"
"photographable".
........
Early September, Osaka
Cao Xuan, who had just finished his road show, went back to the hotel and took a shower, turned on his computer and played video at home for a while, teased his daughter, and then turned on Penguin Star.
Guo Zhenni's "Cannon Fodder Counterattack" is launched today.
This drama was promoted by Cao Xuan personally, but he really didn't pay much attention to it. The director, screenwriter, and filming were all handled by the company, so he decided on a female protagonist and the direction of the script.
There are a total of 24 episodes. Since it is a web drama, the length of each episode is not necessarily the same. The minimum is more than 20 minutes and the longest is more than 50 minutes. When accumulated, it is actually equivalent to more than a dozen episodes of a normal TV series.
This is the reason why the project was established at the beginning of the year and can be launched in less than half a year.
Otherwise, if it is a normal TV series, even if the Penguin Star platform is in a hurry and shoots it slowly, the finished product will not be released until at least October.
The 24-episode plot of "Cannon Fodder Counterattack" is divided into three major plots, namely three worlds, with a cycle of 8 episodes, and the pace is still very fast.
4 episodes will be released first, and then one episode will be updated every day. Members will have priority to watch it, and it will be delayed for one day for free.
Cao Xuan clicked on the video and pointed to the first episode. He had never read the script before and only knew the general direction. He was still very curious about the effect of the finished product. In order to prevent spoilers and watch attentively, he also specially posted the barrage to
Off.
The rhythm of "Cannon Fodder Counterattack" is very tight, there is almost no nonsense, and it goes directly to the theme.
Tang Yu (Guo Zhen) is a college student. When he was looking for a job after graduation, he got an interview invitation and unexpectedly came to a magical place.
[Zhutian Time and Space Company] can connect all the worlds in the sky. These worlds have evolved from TV series and become small parallel worlds.
Tang Yu accidentally became an intern salesperson of this company. His main job was to travel through various worlds and help some hosts eliminate their obsessions.
The monthly base salary is 3,000. If the task is completed, Tang Yu can receive a certain bonus based on the rating, with a minimum of 2,000 and a maximum of tens of thousands.
In addition to bonuses, you also have the opportunity to get Zhutian points. If you have enough points, you can draw a lottery and get some of the company's invisible magical benefits.
Tang Yu, who encountered obstacles in finding a job, quickly adjusted her work status and became a conscientious part-time worker in the company.
Since it is a company, there are good and bad benefits. [Zhutian Time and Space Company] has [Male and Female Protagonist Department], [Villain Cleansing Department], [Decent Blackening Department], [Behind the Scenes King Department] and many more.
departments.
High-quality departments represent the host's starting identity or the profound luck in the plot. The salesperson will be more able to perform tasks more easily, and will receive generous rewards afterwards.
However, Bao Guo is unlucky because the branch he works for happens to be the most disliked [cannon fodder department] in the company.
The tasks are simple, and because of being cannon fodder, it is difficult to make tricks, and the punishment is not high, so the efforts often go far beyond the reward, so the old salesman hates this department the most.
However, for Bao Guo, a rookie, he didn't feel deeply. After adjusting his mentality, he couldn't wait to end the mission.
Different from those weird quick-travel missions in later generations, "Cannon Fodder Counterattack" is still in its early stages, so you don't have to be afraid of poisons or anything like that. You can just apply the ancient settings, that is--
Go against the traditional routines of idol dramas!
The first task is a modern romance drama, with a complicated yet vague explanation of task requirements and host plot.
Bao Guo's host is named Ziyu, and she is the half-sister of Ziyan in this world. The two sisters have a very good relationship, and Ziyu cares about and accompanies her sister in everything.
However, bad intentions are not rewarded.
Compared with her cowardly and introverted elder sister, her younger sister is cheerful and dull, a "pure person" who is generally disliked. Not only did she turn her sister into a transparent person at home, but later she also robbed her sister's fiancé, causing her sister to be disfigured, but she was innocent.
, and the poor sister even got yelled at by the male protagonist who was her fiancé afterwards.
"What you ruined was just a face, but what Zi Yan lost was love."
Therefore, my sister's obsession is to expose her hypocrisy and make the bad couple pay the price they deserve.
That's right, the first plot benchmark is Qiong Yao's classic TV series "Yilian Youmeng",
Of course, in order to avoid the warning from the lawyer's letter, the routine is the same, the male and female protagonists are very similar, and a lot of magical changes were made to the specific plot.
What Bao Guohe has to do in "Cannon Fodder Counterattack" is to use a third-party perspective to analyze what this pair of male and female protagonists who always claim to be in true love are like, crazy slaps in the face, and ruthless virtual dog lovers, and take a look at the Qiong Yao drama by the way.
real kernel.
In addition to the novel quick-travel setting, the drama "Cannon Fodder Counterattack" also has a selling point of counter-routine.
Idol dramas have been developing for several years, and Qiong Yao dramas and bitter love dramas can be traced back to the last century. There are a lot of templates and routines in them, and they are still plots that cannot withstand scrutiny and are disgusted by modern people.
"Cannon Fodder Counterattack" allows the heroine to travel through these frustrating plots, save the good guys, punish the bad guys, and have both contradictions and excitement.
There is no doubt that this drama is likely to offend people, but Boss Cao is obviously not afraid.
Besides, he doesn’t just slap others in the face, he can also travel through various dramas of Fanxing
For example, "Jinfen Family", "Yitian Sword of the Dragon" and even "Water Margin" can all be magically modified and time travel slapped in the face. Of course, the premise is that "Cannon Fodder Counterattack" can last until that time.
"Cannon Fodder Counterattack" has 8 episodes in one world, and the plot is very fast-paced. The first episode reveals the situation, and the second episode ends the counterattack. First, Sister Bai Lianhua breaks her defense in front of her parents, and then she is embarrassed in front of her classmates.
By the time the younger sister counterattacked and brought in the male protagonist, she had already fallen into Wang Hao's trap and was severely humiliated.
The entire first four episodes were just sisters fighting each other, with the younger sister constantly suffering losses, and the character of White Lotus almost unsustainable.
The following plot is to go along with the flow, let the dog man and woman get together, and then completely tear off the sister's white lotus mask to take revenge on the dog man and woman, withstand the test of true love, and then make them repay their evil deeds...
As a purely entertaining drama, "The Cannon Fodder" is a bit too good-spirited, and the heroine Bao Guo's actions can hardly be called vicious, and are often even unscrupulous. Later, there are even some plots that challenge ethical standards.
This kind of plot, disgusting love is like life, will also be liked and resisted by some people.
But there are so many perfect things in the world. If you can grasp your own audience, even if this drama is successful
Already.
Cao Cao specifically opened the barrage and found that there were still many positive reviews.
[It’s so fun to watch, but I already felt unhappy after watching “A Dream Behind the Curtain”, so I was slapped in the face]
[Extremely time-traveling to "Huanzhugege", I have long been unhappy with Ziwei and Erkang]
【I hate this show, interesting】
[The setting is very interesting, I am looking forward to the next world]
[Kill decisively, my sister is so sassy]
[I wish Wushuang you can do it and I can stand you]
[Ah ah ah, why did you stop here? How on earth will the heroine fight back? The dog will die happily after the drama is over] [Strongly requesting that my sister be disfigured, tit for tat]
[The previous one is so cruel, I support it]
[I don’t allow such a good drama to have such a small audience, so I promoted it on Weibo]
[Isn’t this unlimited streaming of online articles? It’s actually made for TV]
[Ten thousand people’s blood book, a boy’s version, I want to see the male protagonist change the plot of “Canglong” and save Grandpa Delin]
[Wearing "Douluo Dalu", you can fight with the Shrek Seven Monsters]
[What does Douluo mean? Is it wrapped in blue and silver? Or should I go to "Tomb of the Gods"? I don't know who will play Chen Nan]
[Stop talking nonsense, these are the movies you mentioned. How much would it really cost to make them? Don’t even think about the live-action version. There may be hope for anime]
[The animation is good, the animation looks interesting, but I don’t think the live-action version can match the taste of the characters in the book]
【……】
Not seeing the distorted barrage, Cao Cao went to Time.com to check it again. The score just released [7.9] was mid-to-high, which was similar to Cao Cao's own estimate.
In fact, this drama has a lot of loopholes, and its quality cannot be said to be excellent. It is even on the lower end of the spectrum among the stars.
But at the same time, this drama also has obvious advantages. The plot is fast-paced, the setting is novel, and the plot is refreshing. In addition, the heroine Wang Haoni's performance is spot on. If you can ignore some logical flaws, it is still very comfortable to watch.
As a web drama, in 2009, it can undoubtedly be said to be at the ceiling level.
"There is another general in the West Palace."
Cao Cao touched the stubble on his chin, with a look of silence on his face. Liu Tianxian was gaining momentum, and now there was Cao Xuanni who was catching up.
Liu Shishi and Tang Yan may not look like fairy sisters with Yang Mi, but they are outsiders after all.
Especially Tang Yan, although she is suspected of being a traitor, she is from the 02 class of the Chinese Opera after all, so she may not necessarily be on whose side in a real fight. You must know that she has never been at odds with her classmates, and she can rebel at any time.
Zhao Xiaodao hasn't grown up yet, so after all the calculations, Jiao Enjun is the only one, and Cao Cao feels a little sorry for her.
I have to ask the Empress of the East Palace to feed her some more chicken soup to stabilize her. Otherwise, Zhao Xiaodao's mentality will collapse before he can grow up, and the East Palace Party will be completely finished.
But Boss Cao underestimated Jiao Enjun.
The long period of hammering had already made Jiao Enjun's heart normal and weak. Although it fluctuated a bit due to this, it was not so bad that he lost his composure.
She even took the initiative to help Wang Haoni promote new dramas on Weibo, acting like a good sister.
Speaking of which, Jiao Enjun and Liu Tianxian generally didn't deal with them, but they really didn't do anything to the other Xigong Qunxians. They mainly ignored them and few of them had friendships with them.
Cao Xuanni's situation is a little more ordinary. On the one hand, she is quite popular, and Jiao Enjun gives her face. The other two are starring in "Wulin Gaiden". Although they don't have much friendship, they always have a warm relationship.
After all, the East and West parties had not yet taken shape at that time. The two had just debuted and were of similar age, so it was inevitable that they would have some exchanges with each other.
Even when Jiao Enjun went to film "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", he and Liu Tianxian had a honeymoon period, but later they were each their own masters, coupled with competition for resources and celebrity positions, many things changed.
And when the factions are clear, even if they are filming together and there is a gap between them, the two parties will rarely have any involvement in private, and it will mostly be a matter of face as colleagues.
Therefore, the love that Jiao Enjun and Cao Xuanni established in their early years is still somewhat ordinary, and it is also a rare tenderness between the two parties.
Whether it's a pretense or a genuine nostalgia for old feelings, Da Mimi's mood is always simple.
Compared with her, Nishinomiya was full of joy.
"Cannon Fodder Counterattack" has been online for three days, and the total number of views has exceeded 20 million, which is extremely amazing.
Of course, the 20 million must be watery. After all, it is a newly opened website. It would be too ugly not to do data.
However, Penguin Star’s data is not too watery. It is far from as crazy as later generations. It is about 1:5. If the water is removed from the 20 million views, it is about 4 million.
The playback volume of Penguin Star is just watertight. Based on real data, the requirements are quite high.
A video of less than 20 minutes must be watched for 30% of the time to be counted as one playback, a video of 30-60 minutes must be watched for 10 minutes, and a video of more than an hour must be watched for 20 minutes.
Moreover, no matter how many times each account watches it, the video will be played up to 3 times per day, and then it will have to wait for a 24-hour cooling period.
This can prevent the trolls from making data to the greatest extent, and can also see the real data and popularity of a drama more vaguely.
As a new website, "Cannon Fodder" has reached a total of 4 million views in three days, which is extremely impressive. The key is that with the expansion of reputation and website promotion, this data is still skyrocketing.
At present, it is hard to say that it will become a big hit in the industry, but the hope of a small hit is very high.
This can be regarded as Cao Xuanni’s first success!
In the future, the police stars will be more interested in Fei Xuanzhen, and the future will naturally be bright. Maybe they will soon have a first-line actress.
It is impossible to say that there are no other ideas, but generally speaking, Cao Xuannis is more enthusiastic. Generally speaking, Mao Xiaotong and several newcomers are even more encouraged.
They haven't become famous yet, and they haven't thought about whether another one will take away a wave of resources. They are still from Sri Lanka. They will only see that another senior sister comes forward and pulls them back. It is another opportunity.
For example, in the third story of "Cannon Fodder Counterattack", Cao Xuanni recommended Chen Yao to play an important role.
Look at what this means, the company is likely to prepare the second part of "Cannon Fodder Counterattack" later. Cao Xuanni said that Mao Xiaoying and the others can also play roles on the set.
Although Fanxing has also arranged some resources for them, as newcomers, there is no way to have more fun.
Especially those who are backed by big companies and have a guaranteed future. They wish they could work on the set every day to make more money and get out early.
head.
Although Cao Xuanni has a cold and steady personality, he still takes good care of his own people, and he did not forget to mention a few words,
Although Fanxing is the leader in the industry, it has a high success rate and has almost double digits of first-line artists.
But there are quite a few who haven't stepped up, especially the newcomers. The word "high position" is much smaller than that of the seniors. For example, there are quite a few members of the Xigong Party. She and Liu Tianxian are the only ones who have really reached the rank. Even she is still half-assed now.
Whether it can be successful or not depends on the follow-up.
Therefore, whether one is popular or not, in addition to company support, it also depends on personal opportunities and fortune.
She hopes that the junior brothers and sisters can stabilize their mentality, follow the trend, and not be too entangled in reaching the top in one step, otherwise it will be difficult for their mentality to become unbalanced and lead to big mistakes.
Mao Xiaotong and others said yes, saying that they would remember the teachings of their senior sister.
There is no doubt that the boss of the West Palace Party is Liu Tianxian, but she doesn't care about anything, so many things are discussed by Cao Xuanni and the others.
Among them, Wang Haowei's reputation and status are second only to Liu Tianxian. Although he is not meddlesome, he is still better than Liu Tianxian, so he is vaguely the second-in-command of the West Palace Party, and his authority is still very important in the eyes of the newcomers.
