"The Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Ancient City of Jingjue has been online for 24 hours, and the number of clicks has exceeded 12 million, setting off the Internet!"

"The Ghost Blows Out the Light web series is well-made and has received unanimous praise from netizens!"

"Is the popularity of Ghost Blows Out the Light another elaborate layout of Huayi?"

"The web series Ghost Blows Out the Light opens a new era of online video!"

It took only one day for the web series Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Ancient City of Jingjue to be on the TV drama popularity index list of the Fanxing website.

And it took less than seven hours from being on the list to reaching the top.

As a TV series that was not broadcast on a large platform and was only released on a video website for one day, this data is really very powerful.

The most important thing is the evaluation of this web series, which really overwhelms all the TV series currently being broadcast.

On the 10-point Fanxing film review website, after the first four episodes of "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Ancient City of Jingjue", nearly 18,000 people gave ratings, with a total score of 9.58, and the professional film review team gave it a score of 8.82.

On the 5-point Doujiao film review website, "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Ancient City of Jingjue" has a good rating of 4.76 points. This score is also a comprehensive evaluation given by nearly 6,000 Doujiao netizens, ranking in the TOP200 of Doujiao TV series praise rankings.

Although "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Ancient City of Jingjue" is a web drama, there is no specific ratings statistics, but judging from the number of clicks and praises on the Internet, this is definitely a popular TV series with a large number of viewers and a great reputation.

And often a TV series becomes popular, it will also drive a number of related industries.

The first to benefit is naturally the original novel. The original novel "Ghost Blows Out the Light" sold very well, and the cumulative sales over the years have exceeded 10 million copies. Even in the past two years, after a long time, it can sell 200,000 to 300,000 copies each year.

However, since "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Ancient City of Jingjue" became popular on Fanxing Video, the "Ghost Blows Out the Light" series, which had been stable for several years, also ushered in a wave of explosion.

In just one week, the total sales of this novel exceeded 300,000 copies, and many bookstores even sold out directly. After all, this is a long-time work, and many bookstores do not have much stock.

For this reason, Yanshan Literature Society, which originally published "Ghost Blows Out the Light", immediately printed 500,000 copies and distributed them to major bookstores after obtaining Nie Wei's advice.

I thought that a lot of copies were printed this time, and the bookstores would definitely sell them for a while, but I didn't expect that in less than a month, these 500,000 copies were digested by the market, and people who bought books still came to the bookstore to inquire every day, and the bookstores kept calling Yanshan Literature Society to urge the goods.

Then Yanshan asked students to print two more batches, one of 800,000 copies and one of 600,000 copies, which barely met the market demand.

With this amazing sales volume, this work, which has been completed for eight years, has once again been on the bestseller list, and has left all the books currently on sale far behind.

If nothing unexpected happens this year, it is very likely that "Ghost Blows Out the Light" will once again win the annual sales champion of mainland bestsellers after eight years.

Faced with this situation, Nie Wei is very happy.

It is not because of the royalties earned from selling books, but the long-term interests behind it.

Now the TV series is popular, which has driven the sales of the novel, but at the same time, it has also made a strong promotion for the "Ghost Blows Out the Light" movie that is being filmed. Even in the future, "Ghost Blows Out the Light" will develop various peripherals, such as games, animations, etc. When any of them becomes famous, it will drive the value of all industries related to this product to rise.

In addition to the original novel, there are also a group of actors in this TV series. Because the degree of restoration to the original is very high, even many supporting roles have gained considerable popularity, not to mention the iron triangle of Ghost Blows Out the Light.

The first person to be transformed the most was Duan Yihong. He started acting in 1999, but it was not until he filmed "Soldier Assault" in 2006 that he really became popular.

However, the popularity of "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Ancient City of Jingjue" on the Fanxing Video website really made him taste the taste of fame.

Almost overnight, he found that his life had completely changed.

In the past, if he walked in the park for an hour or two without makeup, no one would recognize him. But now, he doesn't even need to leave the house, and neighbors living in the same building will come to his door and ask if he played Hu Bayi in "Ghost Blows Out the Light" on the Internet.

As long as Duan Yihong nodded to admit it, the other party would immediately become extremely enthusiastic, asking for autographs and photos.

Moreover, he can no longer walk on the street without makeup, because fans who come to ask for autographs and photos will make him unable to walk 500 meters in half an hour, and he will even be blocked in the supermarket, and finally have to leave in embarrassment with the help of security guards.

All of these were the consequences of his carelessness in the past few days.

When Duan Yihong felt the real popularity, he also felt the real benefits. In the second week after the TV series was broadcast, Duan Yihong received an endorsement advertisement for an international male cleansing brand, and the advertising fee was 800,000 yuan a year. Before this, he had never endorsed anything, and the price for shooting an advertisement was only 50,000 yuan at most.

In addition, a domestic men's clothing brand for mature men also sent an endorsement request to Duan Yihong, and the price of 1.2 million for two years also seemed very sincere.

After all, Duan Yihong is backed by Huayi Company, and no big brand will play tricks with the strongest entertainment company in mainland China on advertising endorsement prices.

You have to know that the reason why these companies can grow is because their leaders have a long-term vision and know that maintaining long-term friendly relations can maintain long-term interests. The ancients said that harmony brings wealth, which is the reason.

Both endorsements are very good resources for Duan Yihong. After asking the company, the agent took it for Duan Yihong, and Duan Yihong soon received 50% of the down payment from the two companies, which was exactly one million.

Of course, this one million has to pay taxes, and Duan Yihong will only get about 700,000 in the end.

But this income is a rare income for him. In the past, apart from filming, he could not get so much extra income. The first time the money arrived, Duan Yihong thought about how to spend the 700,000.

Buying a house is definitely not enough, maybe you can buy a good car, Duan Yihong thought with some excitement.

Just when Duan Yihong was thinking about buying a car, Chen Qiaoen, the heroine who co-starred with him in this web drama, had already decided to buy a house in Kyoto.

Now the focus of her career has completely shifted to the mainland, and the popularity of "Ghost Blowing Light" has also made her a lot of money.

In this case, she certainly wants to have a home that truly belongs to her in the mainland. Although the dormitory provided by Topic is very good, it is a dormitory after all, and it is definitely different from living in a home that truly belongs to her.

And Chen Qiaoen also wants to bring her family to the mainland to celebrate the New Year, so it is very necessary to buy a house in Kyoto.

Of course, after she learned about the housing prices in Kyoto at this time, she still felt a little distressed. At least the kind of house she wanted to buy with a good location and a large space and a good layout would really make her wallet full in recent years suddenly hold back.

For this reason, she also specially called Nie Wei, who was far away in Jordan for a field investigation, to ask for his advice.

"Do you want to buy a house, for living or just for investment?" Nie Wei asked subconsciously, but before Chen Qiaoen could answer, Nie Wei smiled again and said, "Actually, buying a house in Kyoto now is a very good choice, whether for living or investment."

"Really?" Chen Qiaoen was a little surprised by Nie Wei's answer.

"Of course, believe me, although the housing prices in Kyoto are already very expensive now, this is just the beginning. In the next ten years, the housing prices in Kyoto will definitely rise. The house you buy now may more than double in the future." Nie Wei said confidently.

After all, this has been proven in the original time and space.

In several first-tier cities in China, there are so many regulatory measures, but the housing prices have not fallen. In Kyoto, the houses within the second ring road will really rise in the next ten years, and they are also very easy to sell.

"I live by myself. Well, during the Chinese New Year, I also want to pick up my mom and dad to Kyoto for the New Year. She has never been to Kyoto, so I may need a slightly larger house." Chen Qiaoen and Nie Wei reported their needs for a new house.

"Then you should at least choose a three-bedroom, one-living-room house. It just so happens that my family's real estate company is developing a high-end property in the Third Ring Road. The surrounding environment is very good, and there is a supporting park. The property management company we cooperate with is also the best in the country and is very dedicated to the community management. I can ask someone to take you to have a look. If you like it, I will help you say hello and give you the biggest discount."

"Really? Thank you, Mr. Nie!" Chen Qiaoen exclaimed in surprise, and kept thanking Nie Wei.

"I haven't congratulated you yet. "Ghost Blows Out the Light" has such a good performance, which has brought honor to the company. Keep working hard and develop in the mainland in the future. This big market will allow you to show your talents."

"Yes!"

Nie Wei didn't need to say that Chen Qiaoen was not ready to return to Taiwan. After all, people go to high places and water flows to low places.

Not to mention anything else, there is a huge gap in pay between the mainland and Taiwan. In the mainland, Chen Qiaoen is now shooting a TV series. Take the "Ghost Blows Out the Light" that has just been filmed. She can get 60,000 yuan per episode.

In Taiwan, she was called the queen of idol dramas by the media, but the TV stations and production companies offered her no more than 100,000 Taiwan currency per episode.

And 60,000 Chinese currency is equivalent to more than 270,000 Taiwan currency. Just because she changed her market, Chen Qiaoen's income increased by nearly three times.

In addition, the income from endorsement fees and commercial performances in the mainland is much higher than that in Taiwan. The most important thing is that there are more opportunities in the mainland, and the quality of the TV series, movies, and variety shows produced has also come from behind. It can be said that compared with the two markets, except for talent, Taiwan has fallen behind the mainland market in all aspects.

In this mainland with both development prospects and good profits, only fools would turn their career focus back to Taiwan.

The popularity of the "Ghost Blowing Light" web drama has also made the newly established web drama production department very proud recently. All employees from top to bottom in the entire department are very proud.

After all, they were so depressed before, and so many people were not optimistic about them. What about now? The TV series produced by their own department is already the hottest TV series at present.

As the person in charge, Lin Xiang was even more ambitious and began to report to the company, asking to start filming the second part immediately.

The only thing that made him feel bad was that the TV drama production department had been avoiding him recently, so he rarely had the chance to show off, especially Zhao Lei, who hadn't been seen for several days. It was a pity.

When Lin Xiang was thinking so proudly, Zhao Lei was actually running back and forth between the crews of "Zhu Xian" and "Nirvana in Fire".

Zhao Lei stayed in the crew, not because he was really afraid of Lin Xiang and wanted to avoid him. Although he did not want to see Lin Xiang's proud look, the good performance of "Ghost Blowing the Light" put too much pressure on him.

He felt that he had to make the two big productions in his hands achieve results that exceeded the "Ghost Blowing the Light" web drama, so as to justify his department and tell the company who was the best at producing TV series in the company.

Wang Zhonglei naturally acquiesced to this kind of competition. After all, it did not harm the interests of the company, and both parties were more motivated to work.

In fact, the good performance of "Ghost Blowing the Light" also stimulated the crew of the "Ghost Blowing the Light" movie that was being filmed.

For a period of time, both the director and the actors were very demanding of themselves, and they were simply striving for perfection, as if they were determined to make the best film possible.

At this moment, Nie Wei was in Jordan, waiting for his crew to gather.

The rental of the shooting site, the hotel, and the vehicles for daily travel, etc., all of which Luo Yuan had negotiated with the translator, and the most work Nie Wei did during this period was to list a set of local customs and taboos. When the crew members arrived here, they had to have a copy.

After all, for a country with such a unique culture, all caution is necessary, and Nie Wei did not want anything else to happen outside of the shooting.

On May 20, the last batch of actors from Nie Wei's "The Martian" crew had also checked into the hotel, and the entire crew had officially assembled.

That afternoon, in a banquet hall of the hotel, Nie Wei held a small film press conference for more than a dozen reporters from China. The whole process lasted for 30 minutes, and everyone was very happy to chat.

Afterwards, Nie Wei invited these reporters to the set that had been set up, and invited them to watch the first shot of The Martian.
