After his parents left, Zuo Le focused his energy back on the filming of "Wulin Gaiden".
In mid-March, "Seven Swords" successively launched in South Korea and Southeast Asia, and the results were quite good.
Especially in Siam, "Seven Swords" surpassed all local TV dramas in Siam during the same period and became the well-deserved king of ratings during the broadcast period.
In South Korea and other Southeast Asian countries, although it has not reached the level of sensation and popularity like Japan and Siam, it is still comparable to some of their own country's hit dramas, and has a good reputation in ratings.
"Seven Swords" became famous in one battle and became popular throughout the East Asian cultural circle.
Together with several protagonists, mainly Yuan Ye, Gu Xiaoge and Shui Miaomiao, it has gained a certain degree of popularity in Asia.
Domestic entertainment editors who are accustomed to exaggerating reports have already dubbed the three of them Asian superstars.
Of course, anyone with a little knowledge of the entertainment industry will understand how valuable this so-called "Asian superstar" is.
But there is one thing to say, although there is a lot of gold and water, the popularity of Yuan Ye and Gu Xiaoge in Asia is not fake.
Gu Xiaoge, in particular, now has his own overseas fan groups in Japan, Siam, South Korea and other countries. Although the scale is not large, many of them are amateur fans.
But among the new generation of celebrities in China, except for those who have returned from studying abroad, there are several others who are famous overseas, not to mention have formal fan groups.
One of the tallest among the short guys, Gu Xiaoge instantly became the star of the show. Several film production crews with large production scales sent invitations to film, with generous remuneration and important roles.
They didn't point to Gu Xiaoge's few fans to go overseas to make money. More importantly, they recruited Gu Xiaoge to join the crew to support the show.

With just these ten words, the cast, cast, and crew are directly on a higher level, not to mention that Gu Xiaoge is one of the top players in the country, with her own popularity and traffic, and her personal acting skills are also considered excellent.
Gu Xiaoge perfectly meets the needs of the crew in terms of celebrity status, popularity of traffic, and acting ability. Can everyone not rush to get it?
It's a pity that Gu Xiaoge himself has no crazy idea of taking on roles. Except for one or two really good film offers, he declined most of the invitations.
Zuo Le admired Gu Xiaoge's approach very much, suppressed some objections within Shanhe Company, and gave his support.
He even had a special chat with Shui Miaomiao, who also received many film offers as Gu Xiaoge.
Sunward never prohibits artists from accepting external film contracts, but it considers it from the perspective of the company's interests and the artist's own development.
Zuo Le still hopes that Shanhe artists will choose high-quality scripts and shooting teams as much as possible when accepting external scenes.
Instead of blindly spending money and making bad movies for the sake of short-term profit and being blinded by the high salary offered by the other crew, this is absolutely not good for the artist's development path.
Audience reputation is very important to an actor. If your reputation is ruined in the eyes of the audience because of a bad movie, and you are disappointed, you won't be able to recover by making 3 or 5 good movies.
More importantly, the audience's disapproval will cause some investors and crew to lose interest in you.
Many times, you don’t even have a chance to make a good film to save it...
Shui Miaomiao is not a stupid girl. Although she is not as conscious as Gu Xiaoge, she naturally knows how to choose the pros and cons after being analyzed by Zuo Le and the company's agent.
As for another Yuan Ye who was treated in the same way, because he was an important training target of the National Theater, he naturally had senior leaders to step forward and give him guidance, and he did not rush to take more roles.
In this way, relying on the popular trend in Asia, Gu, Yuan, and Shui still did not lose themselves. They continued to be calm-minded, work steadily, and develop their careers step by step.
Many knowledgeable insiders couldn't help but praise him. Not many newcomers in the industry have been so knowledgeable in recent years.
The starting point is high and the progress is stable. The future prospects of these three positions are promising.
…………
Soon after "Seven Swords" became popular in Asia, dubbed and subtitled "Family with Children" and "Traffic Stop" were also broadcast in Japan and South Korea.
Frankly speaking, the results can only be said to be okay.
The "Traffic Stop" trilogy is barely making some noise in South Korea, but "Family with Children" is only slightly better than those ordinary TV series in Japan.
It's definitely not a problem for nkn TV station to lose money, but it still doesn't make much money. Especially compared to the previous "Seven Swords", there is a huge sense of disparity.
On the contrary, it is South Korea's SXS. Since the expectations for the Traffic Station Part II were not high before, and the purchase price of the drama is relatively low, I am very satisfied to see that the Traffic Station Part II can achieve this result.
Zuo Le is not clear about the joys and sorrows of the two TV stations. Once the overseas rights are sold, it has little to do with him, and Zuo Le is too lazy to worry about it every day.
Congratulations on the fire, the whole world celebrates it.
Even if it gets cold, it won't hurt him at all. Shanhe's basic market is the domestic market, and overseas copyrights will only add to the head.
In mid-May, after several months of filming, "Wulin Gaiden" was finally completed at the Changqing Film and Television Base and moved into post-production. It is expected to be broadcast on July 10, the summer release of "Bright Sword".
With the news that "Wulin Gaiden" has been scheduled to be released, many TV dramas that are also preparing to be broadcast in the summer are in mourning.
Zuo Le + sitcom, this combination has achieved great results in recent years, rarely losing, and the pressure to compete with its peers is not as high as usual. Several crews and producers have even considered changing the show.
However, there are people who are timid and afraid of fighting, and naturally there are also strong and brave masters.
For example, the producers of "Exiled Youth", which has been confirmed to be broadcast on CCTV's summer schedule, are not afraid of "Wulin Gaiden" at all.
Its director Wang Sen even announced in public that his surname will be Wang instead of Zuo for this summer's film.
Rating war?
Some melon-eaters who smelled the smell of gunpowder moved to the scene with small stools, chewed melon seeds and waited for the two crews to start pinching them.
But what is unexpected is that Zuo Le and the crew of "Wulin Gaiden" did not respond at all to Wang Sen's provocation.
There is no box office for a one-man show. Just when the onlookers were disappointed, some entertainment editors who were not too concerned about the excitement took action.
"Behind Zuo Le's silence is a deep disdain and contempt for Wang Sen"
"Zuo Le: Who do you think Wang Sen is? When I was working at CCTV, you didn't even know where you were hanging out."
"A glimpse into Zuo Le's love-hate relationship with CCTV over the years"
"From the battle for the Spring Festival ratings championship back then to the current summer war, why is Zuo Le so hostile to CCTV?"
"Three Battles with CCTV! Zuo Le, CCTV's Lifelong Enemy"
"Giant Killer, Zuo Le, who disgraced CCTV twice before, can he create another legend now?"
"It is reported that Shanhe Pictures has formed a legal team. Is this an all-out war against CCTV?"
"…………"
Shanhe Pictures, Zuo Le Office
Zuo Le said with a gloomy face to the Minister of Justice who just took office today.
"Send a lawyer's letter to these editors who are making up nonsense, asking them to remove these false reports, and take the initiative to apologize to me and compensate for my mental losses, otherwise Shanhe will formally sue them."
"Okay, Mr. Zuo, I'll take care of it right away." The Minister of Legal Affairs followed the order and left.
Zuo Le was left to stay in the office and think for a moment, then called the old leader Chen Changshan.
"Chen Tai, are you familiar with the leaders at CCTV? I want to make an appointment with them for dinner. Yes, the main purpose is to explain the recent events. Don't mention it. I'm ready to kill these grandsons, okay...
