Chapter 185
night.
Tianxianjia Villa.
Before the TV series was broadcast, Shu Chang lay on the sofa, poking at his phone with his fingers, browsing the entertainment portal, and sighed from time to time:
"Sissi, your Zhou Yutang is really talented."
"Even during the Lunar New Year period, I invested in a movie, which beat both "The Storm 2" and "The Tomb" by Jay Chou in the same period. The box office actually beat the ones from Guoshi and Xiangjiang. Thank you Chen Ke”
"Didn't "Three Guns" and "October Siege" be released later? It's hard to say."
Liu Yifei said this, but there was a hint of dismay on that beautiful little face.
"hey-hey!"
Shu Chang stood up suddenly with a narrow smile on his face: "Someone admitted it, is it your Xiao Zhou?"
"No."
Liu Yifei instantly realized something and was still rude, but the blush instantly spread from her cheeks to her crystal-white ears.
"Ah, yes, yes, no, no."
Shu Chang nodded seriously: "I don't know who it is, but he mentions Xiao Zhou a hundred times every day. It makes my ears tingle."
"Let you stop talking nonsense!"
Liu Yifei became so angry that she hugged Shu Chang and tickled her. The two women rolled into a ball on the large sofa.
The best friends joked and joked for a while, then looked at the time:
"here we go!"
After the Jiangsu Province TV commercial played, the beautiful theme song of the TV series began to play.
Along with the exquisite opening scene, Shu Chang's attention was immediately grabbed.
"It's really good. It looks like a movie."
"Xiao Zhou spent a lot of money on the later stage."
While the two women were chatting, the first episode of "My Love from the Star" officially began to air.
A simple introduction to the background setting of the story is followed by the plot of an ancient version of a girl, Liu Yifei, who gets married and loses her husband.
At this moment, a sudden vision occurred and a strong wind blew.
The bearers carrying the sedan chair and the accompanying servants lost their footing and were all thrown away.
Fallen leaves and flying sand were also dancing wildly with the wind. The sedan chair was blown away by the strong wind and was about to fall off the cliff. The bride Liu Yifei's face was sad and frightened, and a crystal tear hung in the air.
At this critical moment.
Zhou Yutang, wearing a black robe, descended from the sky, flying high in the sky, as if descending the stairs.
It seemed like the stop button was pressed.
Time freezes and everything comes to a standstill.
He was the only one walking alone, gently pushing aside the leaves standing still in the space.
Between this movement and silence, a strange sense of beauty is formed.
With light steps, he walked to the edge of the cliff and gently pulled the sedan back.
The girl escaped and saw the man's quiet face.
After finishing all this, Zhou Yutang slowly closed his eyes.
Time and space restored.
Shock and disbelief appeared on everyone's faces.
Like seeing a miracle.
"Wow! This picture is so beautiful. This is Zhou Yutang's super power!"
Shu Chang's eyes shone, and Liu Yifei beside him had a smile on his face and nodded.
Screen switching.
Came to modern times.
This is a narrative technique that uses intertwined editing of ancient and modern times, and the two lines introduce the story background and character settings in parallel.
Zhou Yutang was wearing a shirt, sitting casually on the expensive sofa, and talked.
As an alien who has lived on earth for more than six hundred years, he has witnessed the glory and collapse of the Ming Dynasty and experienced the vicissitudes of life.
In addition to possessing the power of money, he also has the abilities of immortality, control of objects with his mind, stagnation of time and space, teleportation, etc., and all his senses such as vision and hearing are about 7 times higher than those on earth.
It just doesn't mix with Earthling saliva or blood.
This otherworldly man looked at everyone with a rather indifferent look.
The comet he has been waiting for for hundreds of years will arrive on earth in three months, and this is also an opportunity for him to return home.
However.
The gears of fate finally turn.
He met his destiny.
When Shu Chang saw the scene where Liu Yifei met Zhou Yutang in the elevator, he finally couldn't hold back his laughter and let out a goose cry.
When filming, she just listened to Zhou Yutang pouring chicken soup and devoted herself wholeheartedly to it. But now when Liu Yifei is watching TV, she has the embarrassing feeling of being publicly executed, and she is slightly ashamed:
"What are you laughing at!?"
"Goose goose goose, Sissi, your performance was so fun, especially Zhou Yutang's disgusting action at the end, as if he was sending away a puppy. I'm going to die."
Shu Chang was overjoyed.
Then I briefly introduced Liu Yifei’s family situation.
Seeing her singing loudly like a convulsion at home late at night, Shu Chang couldn't help but feel a sense of pity. He hugged his best friend and said, "Sissi, no matter what, I will stay with you."
Liu Yifei smiled and patted Shu Chang on the back: "It's just acting."
The two girls just sat on the sofa leaning on each other, quietly watching tonight's two episodes.
Shu Chang was unwilling to let go of even a bit of content and saw the easter egg set by Zhou Yutang at the end of the film.
Liu Yifei lovingly described her mysterious and tender first love, the male god who saved her when she was a child.
But Zhou Yutang coldly stated that he hates defiant, ignorant but arrogant women, and he knew it was Liu Yifei without even thinking about it.
The most outstanding thing is that after Liu Yifei said that sentence with affection, Zhou Yutang happened to pass by the set. She looked at him with contempt and muttered: "This bad guy!"
The audience knew the two men were talking about each other.
But I found it novel and fun, and couldn't help but look forward to the next plot.
After the Easter egg broadcast, Shu Chang reluctantly watched many commercials and still couldn't bear to change the channel.
She suddenly said: "Sissi, Zhou Yutang is really a god. I have a hunch that your show will become a hit."
……………………
"'My Love from the Star' is going to be a hit!"
"Zhou Yutang is indeed the top beauty in domestic entertainment."
"Synonymous with handsome guys, this is no joke."
"The ascetic and cold alien god with super powers, I love him, I love him!"
"After watching the first two episodes, I am committed to this drama."
"Zhou Yutang is also very good at it. He is an ascetic and aloof alien god, and he is teaming up with a beautiful female celebrity in his prime. This is so interesting!"
"In order to lose weight, she only eats half a broccoli and an apple and still gets scolded. Liu Yifei is so pitiful. Please stop scolding her."
"This is the first time I find Liu Yifei so interesting."
"Old fans should all know that Liu Yifei is very funny in private and often shares her status in life."
"Is it Sina Weibo? I'll follow it right now!"
I also watched the TV series Zhou Yutang.
At this time, he was switching to his trumpet to surf the Internet intensively.
After the first and second episodes were aired, forums on the Internet exploded.
Not only on the Tianya Forum, but also in almost all film and television sections of other forums, there have been countless hot posts discussing "My Love from the Star". The focus of the discussion is naturally Zhou Yutang, the alien god with super powers, and of course the female character played by Liu Yifei. main character.
Zhou Yutang's almost omnipotent character, as well as the image of an ascetic and aloof male god, brought only novelty and shock to the audience.
The female star played by Liu Yifei also received unanimous praise.
He is obviously a very popular star, but he himself has no common sense. He often makes mistakes and has convulsions from time to time, but he still looks charming and cute.
Seeing her being scolded and ridiculed by netizens, and seeing her kindness and vulnerability, people couldn't help but want to take good care of her.
"Boss, last night's ratings are out."
"The highest ratings in the Modutai region were 8.2%, and the ratings share in the three provinces all reached the top, and the gap was ahead of the same period."
There was excitement in Mao Xiaoyu's voice that couldn't be concealed.
The highest ratings of "Latent" when it premiered in the Beijing area exceeded 8, which was the result of the support of countless mainstream official media. "My Love from the Star" is not the main theme, and the early promotion official media has not yet finished.
But the ability to achieve such astonishing ratings is undoubtedly the result of Zhou Yutang's early publicity strategy, which directly took off the show.
certainly.
The average ratings are definitely not that high, after all, times are different from the past, but the popularity of this TV series can also be seen from the ratings share.
"Boss, look, look, look, and your Weibo, your fans are growing so fast!"
"Let me see."
Zhou Yutang logged into the Weibo account and looked a little surprised.
Overnight, the number of fans increased by 150,000, and it can be clearly felt that this number is constantly rising.
The current Sina Weibo has just been launched and has not yet reached its peak. However, in the early days of Weibo, the number of fans was still very high.
Zhou Yutang specially posted a promotional Weibo related to the TV series, and many celebrity friends retweeted it for him. At this time, the number of comments below has exceeded 10,000.
"Touch the Governor from the front row."
"This show is very conscientious. I guess the special effects cost a lot of money, right?"
"I am really amazed that time has stopped. How was this shot?"
"And Fu Hua Dao is also very good. I work in the clothing industry. I observed that Liu Yifei's coats, inner wear, shoes, bags, as well as necklaces, earrings, rings, and hairbands in the drama are all perfect. Exquisite famous brand, this one costs at least hundreds of thousands!"
"I'll go! This is too luxurious."
"Does anyone have a high-definition screenshot of the still photo of Zhou Yutang just appearing on stage wearing a black robe? I want to use it as a mobile phone wallpaper, so that good people can live a safe life."
"We pray together, good people have a safe life +1!"
Zhou Yutang got interested and took the time to reply to a few interesting-looking comments. It didn't take long before he was pushed to the front row.
"Haha, boss, if you continue at this rate, your fans will exceed 1 million in a few days!"
Mao Xiaoyu was even more excited than Zhou Yutang. In her words, she felt a sense of satisfaction watching Zhou Yutang's fans increase.
This is despite the fact that the frequency of posting on Weibo is not high.
Some celebrities post on Weibo all day long.
Just like Yao Dazui.
Trivia: "I just got off the plane and received congratulations/invitations from XXX." Yao Dazui had already posted this popular sentence pattern on Weibo.
Not long after Sina Weibo was launched, she had posted more than 800 Weibo messages.
However, due to her insufficient fan base, people's deepest impression of her is still Guo Furong in "Wulin Gaiden".
Therefore, despite her hard work, her number of fans is less than 200,000, which is a lot compared to ordinary celebrities, but it cannot be called a big hit in any case.
Zhou Yutang was originally a top streamer on Weibo, with the same number of fans as another Weibo user Dahuadan Zhao Yanzi, followed by Li Kaifu, Huang Jianxiang, Li Binbin, Zhou Bishang, Li Yuchun and others.
But with the hit drama "My Love from the Star", he will achieve an unquestionable lead.
Liu Yifei also followed closely behind, gaining more than 100,000 followers, catching up with the great actress Zhao Yanzi.
Even Yang Mi, the second female lead in the drama, also gained a large number of fans.
This TV series, which has invested countless publicity efforts, became popular before it was aired. After it was aired, it became like a flower blooming.
How many days will it be broadcast.
Zhou Yutang’s name topped the Baidu entertainment celebrity list.
Next is Liu Yifei, and the search index of "My Love from the Star" is leading the way.
This is undoubtedly another phenomenal hit work.
Immediately afterwards.
In conjunction with the broadcast of the TV series, the pre-recorded "Happy Camp" will also meet the audience this Saturday, as well as several other variety shows, which will inevitably raise the discussion of the entire TV series to another level.
Zhou Yutang held Zeng Li and watched this special episode of "Star You".
"Do you know what the most popular drama is recently?"
""My Love from the Star"!"
Several members of the Happy Family raised their hands to their mouths and shouted, and the audience in the audience was also very excited.
Teacher He asked Zhou Yutang with a smile: "Yes, "My Love from the Star" is really popular now. I believe everyone is very interested in the high-rise modern apartment where the male and female protagonists live next to each other. There are also hot searches on Weibo Similar question, I'm also curious about whether this house exists in reality?"
Weibo has just come out, and many functions are gradually being improved. This hot search list is the latest product proposed by Zhou Yutang to Sina executives.
At present, hot searches related to "Star You" dominate several of the top ten search lists. In addition, the popular movie "To Youth" is also listed on the hot searches.
Sina Weibo sponsored "My Love from the Star" with a large amount of money, and even reached a cooperation agreement with Zhou Yutang's Jiangdong Entertainment, so it will naturally be tilted.
Zhou Yutang smiled and said: "Actually, this is not true."
"Ah? How is that possible?"
Xie Na looked confused: "I still want to live there with Professor Zhou!"
"Nana, please stop dreaming."
Wei Jia, the second head of the Happy Family, teased: "Liu Yifei lives next door to Professor Zhou."
The audience in the audience also laughed out loud.
Even Liu Yifei laughed.
Zhou Yutang explained: "This was actually built in a studio, and the production cost before and after was almost 6 million yuan. The realistic night scene outside the apartment balcony was also shot in real scenes and then produced with blue screen CG."
After Zhou Yutang asked a few questions, Teacher He took control of the scene and asked: "Yifei, I believe everyone is curious, what did you do after taking a long break before filming "My Love from the Star"? ?”
"I was resting during that time, traveling with my mother, adjusting my condition and learning acting skills."
"So what were you thinking when you took on this role? After all, this character is really very different from the fairy sister characters you have played in the past."
"To be honest, I saw that it was Yu Tang's script and I immediately agreed without reading the content."
"Hahaha, you are so real."
"But it's normal. If Yu Tang invites me to act, not only will I not need any money, but I can also give you some money."
Everyone laughed, had another rainbow fart, and made fun of each other.
Teacher He continued to ask: "Did you feel anything during the performance?"
"I feel like I'm dragging down the crew. The filming part about Yu Tang is easy to pass. I always have to be stuck for a long time. Some scenes even take a day or two to shoot."
Liu Yifei apologized frankly: "I want to say sorry to the director and Yu Tang. I will continue to work hard to improve my acting skills and continue to make progress."
The content of this program revolves around "My Love from the Star". Zhou Yutang and Liu Yifei are standing there, and the topic is full of topics.
Da Meiyuan also watched with gusto.
She is a loyal fan of "My Love from the Star" and expressed regret: "Yu Tang, why don't you make the heroine of this drama a slightly older sister, so that I can play the heroine? The two of them haven’t acted together yet.”
Zhou Yutang's script set the heroine's debut age, so the age shown in the play naturally became younger.
actually.
Age is not the key, what is important is the strong contrast formed by the heroine's free transition between goddess and female psychopath.
In the past, Liu Yifei could handle the role of a goddess, but she certainly could not act as a goddess. At that time, she was a high-ranking fairy. But after what happened last year, Zhou Yutang appeared in her world like this.
With some guidance, she was able to show the most normal state of her life, which to a certain extent was quite fitting.
Many viewers even had the exaggerated illusion that Liu Yifei had been living as Liu Yiren for the past ten years.
There are several hot spots in this issue.
Li Weijia took the initiative to hug his thigh and asked for help, allowing Zhou Yutang to lead him to make a fortune, and Fatty Du's on-site star-chasing, crazy worship, and almost knelt down to Zhou Yutang.
"Leader, after this episode was broadcast, Kuaiben's ratings increased to 3.62%!"
The ratings statistics department of Mango TV happily sent the calculated program ratings report to the desk of the department leader.
"Zhou Yutang is really amazing."
The leader of the TV station jumped up from his seat with excitement and couldn't help laughing.
The other side.
The senior leaders of Shanghai TV Station and Jiangsu Province TV Station were also laughing and joking at the meeting.
Especially the senior executives of Jiangsu Province TV Station.
Last year, Magic City TV relied on Zhou Yutang's hit drama "Latent" and the variety show "The Voice" to directly become the top first-tier satellite TV platform in China.
They finally experienced the feeling of flying with their thighs.
One word: cool!
The drama "My Love from the Star" was negotiated by Deputy Director Zhou and his team. His vision was fully affirmed. He couldn't help but laugh when he thought that he was still holding a piece of Zhou Yutang's ace variety show in his hand. Asked: "How is the performance of "If You Are the One" going?"
"Everything is in place. The first episode is already being recorded and is expected to be broadcast around the middle of next month."
"very good!"
Deputy Director Zhou was very proud and waved his hand: "Continue to increase publicity efforts. Regarding the prime-time advertising arrangements in the station, it will be time to take advantage of the success of "Star You". This year's Jiangsu Province TV station will also take off. "
