Chapter 157 Cao Daguan in the Eyes of Ordinary People and the TV Series That Went Out of the Circle (Two in One)

Beijing, a residential building
Meng Xiaomang was lying on the dining table doing homework, while her brother Meng Xiaoguang was lying on the sofa holding a book with a colorful cover and reading it with gusto. The name of the book was "The First Intimate Contact".

This book can be regarded as the first online novel in the history of the Internet, and it was written in 98.

But it was only popular in Taiwan Province at that time, and it began to flow into the mainland in 99, and it officially became popular in the mainland in early 2000.

Every netizen on the Internet dreams of meeting his Qingwu Feiyang/Ruffian Cai, and countless people are eager to make friends online.

Even QQ has also enjoyed a wave of dividends, and the user base and online activity have soared.

The novel became popular, so there were naturally booksellers watching, and soon there were genuine books in traditional and simplified Chinese, and pirates followed suit. "First Intimate Contact" became the most popular novel nowadays.

Meng Xiaoguang couldn't afford the original copy, and he didn't even buy the pirated copy in his hand, and he borrowed it from a classmate, and couldn't put it down every day.

These days I live frugally, I plan to dig out some between my teeth and go to an Internet cafe, and find a female netizen to practice.

The two brothers and sisters were doing their own work, when the door opened, Meng Xiaomang looked back, Meng Xiaoguang shoved his hands under the sofa, then ran to the table where the homework was set in advance, picked up a pen and sat down, the process was done in one go, and the posture was extremely standard.

Meng Xiaomang has long been used to his elder brother's operations, so she ignored him, put down her pen, got up, and picked up the bag from her parents who were changing shoes.

"Mom and Dad, what did you buy, I'm hungry."

"Your dad bought the stewed pork, and there is still some fried sauce at home. I will make noodles later."

The three of them were talking, while Meng Xiaoguang was still facing a paper, thinking hard, occasionally raising his head, full of anger for being interrupted from studying.

"Keep your voice down, let's do the questions!"

Lao Meng curled his lips, his wise eyes had seen everything clearly: "If you really have this kind of motivation to study, you won't have a passing grade in mathematics and English."

But that being said, Lao Meng and his wife Xiao Hua still took the initiative to lower their voices, went to the kitchen to cook, and Meng Xiaomang continued to do his homework.

About half an hour later, Lao Meng, who had finished the meal, asked his children to withdraw their homework. The family ate braised pork + noodles with fried sauce, and Lao Meng and his wife began to chatter again.

The two children have just entered high school this summer. Their daughter Meng Xiaomang's grades are not bad, top 100 in the grade, while Meng Xiaoguang is much worse and is at the bottom of the class.

Even with his grades, it is reasonable to say that he would not be able to enter high school, and the Lao Meng couple forced someone to get in and spent money.

The couple didn't expect him to be able to go to university. With a high school degree, it is better to find a job than a junior high school graduate. Moreover, it is easy to learn bad things when you are young. There is still a limit in school.

Of course, in their hearts, they still hoped that Meng Xiaoguang would do well. Why did they get into a junior college?

For this reason, they specifically do not allow their children to live in school, just to be able to take care of them. Fortunately, their home is not far from the school, so it is convenient for them to go to school.

After watching TV, washing and washing, the family began to fight for TV every day.

"Watching football today, a friendly match between Australia and the national football team."

Fan Lao Meng took the lead in speaking out, but was jointly boycotted by Meng Xiaoguang's brother and sister.

"If you don't watch the ball, a group of people chase a ball. It's boring if you can't score a goal for half an hour."

"That's right, the "Young Bao Qingtian" I watched yesterday had Cao Xuan and Gongsun Ce."

Lao Meng couldn't help but quickly took out his trump card and asked fatally: "You two finished your homework? Don't you have to go to school tomorrow?"

"After finishing writing, I can't study all day long."

"That's right, high school students also want to have fun and relax."

The two brothers and sisters sang together, Xiao Hua also let go: "You can watch it if you want, this is the first year of high school."

"You will get used to it."

Lao Meng was indignant, but he didn't dare to say it out, and watched bitterly as Meng Xiaoguang and his brother tuned to Beijing Satellite TV.

In fact, the whole family had watched this drama before. Lao Meng was not interested in it, Xiao Hua didn't care, the two children liked it the most.

This model is almost a replica of "Youth Bao Qingtian" in countless families.

Young people and children like it. Adults only like some audiences who like to reason and solve crimes. Many people don't particularly like to watch it. Of course, they don't feel disgusted and follow it.

Therefore, the ratings of "Youth Bao Qingtian" every night depend entirely on whether the children at home can persuade their parents to grab the remote control.

Under normal circumstances, basically the children want to watch it, and most parents will follow their wishes.

After the children finished watching, they went back to school and chatted with their classmates and friends about the plot. You passed it on to me and I passed it on to you. The popularity of "Youth Bao Qingtian" was also brought up.

From a certain point of view, the audience of "Youth Bao Qingtian" is not as wide as that of "My Fair Princess", which kills all ages, but it can capture most of the young audience, and the results are not far behind.

Today is the plot of the second case. As soon as Bao Zheng played by Cao Xuan appeared on the stage, Meng Xiaomang, who is his fan, felt a little depressed.

"Obviously Cao Xuan is so handsome, why did he have to paint it black, and there is a crescent moon on his head, which caused the girls in our class to say that Gongsun Ce is good-looking."

"Can Bao Zheng not be black? Those who are not black are still called Bao Zheng?"

Lao Meng, who can't see the ball, turns into a joke, and his words are called a yin and yang.

"No, I think black looks pretty, that Gongsun Ce is white and tender, not a man at all."

The straight man Meng Xiaoguang also expressed his opinion, but Xiao Hua objected.

"He's called Gentleman, with the temperament of a noble son. Besides Chen Daoming's Eight Worthy Kings, he is the only one. Cao Xuan deliberately plays ugly, and he comes in third."

"Mom, don't look at the face, but look at the acting skills. Bao Zheng's acting is so good, the newspapers praised him."

Meng Xiaomang was a little dissatisfied, but I have to say that in Chinese aesthetics, dark skin is really more attractive.

That kind of wheat color is fine, but Bao Zheng is really dark, even if Cao Xuan's face is over the top, and his face is ashamed, he can only be slightly inferior to Gongsun Ce who is in power.

Although Meng Xiaomang has a fan filter, she still pays more attention to objective facts, and she is embarrassed to say that Cao Xuan is better than Ren Quan, so she can only talk about acting skills.

And her statement was also approved by Xiao Hua: "It's really a good performance. I remember that he played Ximen Qing in "Water Margin". Now he plays Bao Zheng, and he has a good appearance."

Lao Meng is also unconvincing: "This guy is good at singing and acting, and his key character is good. I read the news and said that he donated 98 million in 150, and our unit donated less than 10."

"And he's handsome. Many people in our school like him."

Meng Xiaomang was very happy to hear his parents praise Cao Xuan, so Meng Xiaoguang added:

"Cao Xuan sings well, but he is too busy. The newspapers said that he often changes girlfriends."

"is it?"

Lao Meng was excited, his eyes lit up: "Who is there?"

Meng Xiaoguang scratched his head: "I don't remember too well, anyway, there is Jinsuo from "Han Zhu Ge Ge", Wen Hui from "Love to the End", and a person named Zeng, which is also very popular."

"You fart!"

Meng Xiaomang was angry: "Those paparazzi wrote it indiscriminately. Cao Xuan refuted the rumors. They were just hyping up to gain Cao Xuan's reputation."

"It's hard to say."

Lao Meng acted as a client: "Look at him, he is handsome, famous, and has so much money, did they say that he has tens of millions of dollars a while ago?

It's normal for big money to find a woman. You next door, Uncle Wang, didn't you just work on projects to make money and get a mistress? The couple are getting divorced. "

"Don't talk nonsense like a child."

Seeing that her daughter was about to cry with anger, Xiao Hua stopped her: "He is a singer and actor, why do you care about his private affairs, you are sour, you are so awesome, and you don't even look at your salary card to increase your money."

"Isn't this a chat, what am I doing?"

As soon as Xiao Hua shot straight to Qicun, Lao Meng immediately retreated. Meng Xiaomang glanced at his brother, pointed to the bottom of the sofa, and Meng Xiaoguang also knelt down.

"Those journalists have no morals, they write nonsense, Cao Xuan's acting is awesome, watch dramas and dramas."

Although the father and son were suppressed by various means, the previous conversations basically reflected the current views of many ordinary people on Cao Xuan.

Famous, caring, handsome, good at singing, good at acting, and even spread his influence overseas to win glory for the country.

It's just that people are a bit fickle, and there are waves of gossip targets, some feel disgusted, some feel indifferent, young people, it's normal to love to play.

To a certain extent, this has stained Cao Xuan, who is not a "perfect idol" in the traditional sense.

Many people who don't like Cao Xuan always attack this point, especially the fans of competitors such as Xie Feng and Ren Xianqi, who give Cao Xuan the name "Huaxin Daluobo".

Cao Xuan didn't intervene too much in this matter. Although he often clarified, as long as he didn't go too far, he rarely told the truth about those scandals.

On the one hand, it is a deliberate establishment of a person. As long as his lower limit is lowered enough, the tolerance of the outside world will increase. Even if he is exposed for three nights and three flights in the future, everyone may still think that Mr. Cao is "conscientious".

Still the same sentence, I am a scumbag myself, how can you beat me as a scumbag...

Of course, there are also many disadvantages in doing so. Many people hate scumbags who are fickle. This is a big blow to Cao Xuan's image and popularity.

However, Cao Xuan felt that he could afford this price.

He has now gone through the rising stage of just beginning to harvest fans, and the general trend has become.

Therefore, Cao Xuan's future development route is to continuously expand his nationality + fans, and Cao Xuan hopes to use his works to achieve the latter, without the need to manage the so-called artist personality.

Cao Xuan doesn't want to be a "perfect idol" and rely on fans for food, it's too tiring.

But the powerful faction is different. Everyone pays attention to the works. As long as the big festival is not bad, the outside world will not ask too much about some minor issues.

So when Cao Xuan first debuted, he would consciously use his face to market, hoping to be promoted as soon as possible.

But now that he has accumulated enough capital, Cao Xuan began to "kill the donkey" and began to consciously get rid of idol restrictions.

This is actually part of the reason why Cao Xuan took over "Young Bao Qingtian". He doesn't mind taking advantage of his good looks, but he doesn't want to always rely on being handsome and acting, so he hopes to find some breakthroughs.

The audience's impression of his acting is not limited solely to the positioning of the word "handsome".

At the same time, Cao Xuan had another consideration.

There are many people who are popular. Cao Xuan is now regarded as the most popular male artist of the new generation in the entertainment industry. He has blocked the way of many people invisibly, and even some of the public are dissatisfied with him.

Under such circumstances, hiding is impossible. Instead of letting them smear indiscriminately, Cao Xuan felt that it would be better for him to release a vent for these people to attack.

The matter of men and women is a matter of life style, not big or small, and it is only maintained on the moral level, so that it can be used as a target without hurting Cao Xuan's roots.

And the key can be controlled, gossip is gossip after all, it can be broken at the first poke, which is convenient for Cao Xuan to control the development of the situation at any time.

Even if someone took out a real hammer, as long as Cao Xuan was not [caught into three], then there is room for maneuver.

After all, if you don’t get married, there will be no married cheating. The big deal is "cheating" between couples. There are too many things to say here.

The role model Cao Xuan is aiming at is brother Cheng Long.

Flawed personal morality, no loss in big festivals, unswervingly follow the red flag, love the party, love the country, love the people, be positive, and have positive energy every day.

The elder brother also has a cheating son. Except for the two girlfriends, Cao Xuan meets the above requirements very well.

As long as you hug the official's thigh, everything else is a minor problem. If it doesn't work, you can retire early and hide behind the scenes.

Cao Xuan, who understands the situation of future generations, knows what the red line standard is better than anyone today.

Except for the crime of bigamy, which requires extra attention, he guarantees stability in the rest...

Generally speaking, Cao Xuan, a philanderer, has both advantages and disadvantages for Cao Xuan, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Aside from the previous reasons, the media exposure alone gave him countless pages.

Don't underestimate this point, since Xie Feng exposed "Feng Fei Lian", his fame and attention have skyrocketed, and he has frequently appeared in the media news, making him a top performer in the entertainment circle.

This must also reflect the influence of a star. Even if many people don't know his plays and songs, they know that there is a popular star named Xie Feng just by watching the news.

Although Cao Xuan didn't have such a major show as "Feng Fei Lian", but fortunately, the volume was large and he was full.

The accumulation of scandals one after another made his "traffic" always overwhelm Xie Feng. To a certain extent, it can be regarded as expanding Cao Xuan's nationality.

Of course, this nationality belongs to black and red, and Cao Xuan has to spend time and energy to slowly "wash white".

.........

The Meng family was noisy, but they didn't take their eyes off the plot of the TV series.

The fast-paced reasoning plot of "Young Bao Qingtian" is fine if you don't watch it, but it's easy to be drawn in after watching it.

The second case is called "Blood Sacrifice", which tells the story of a minority who was exterminated because of treasures, leaving behind two children who came back to take revenge after they grew up.

The modus operandi of this case is far from suspenseful. It is probably two murderers, one of whom escaped by feigning death, and then turned on and off to confuse the line of sight.

The highlight of this case is that several of the dead are horrific, beheaded, heart-digged, dismembered, and a horrifying blood altar, which makes the atmosphere of the whole case more frightening.

Especially the blood altar and the headless corpse that appeared many times are simply creepy.

When the Meng family watched the drama, the two children screamed in fright, and Xiao Hua kept pushing towards Lao Meng.

Lao Meng was actually a little guilty, but he was the head of the family after all, he was the father and the husband, even though his face was a little pale, he still forced a calm smile and made fun of the mother and son for being timid.

However, a few people were afraid, but the hidden lines of digging pits that kept appearing made people couldn't help but look down.

The murderer of this drama is almost a clear card. Anyone with a discerning eye will think that Bao Zheng's music teacher has a story.

But this unit did a small reversal of feigning death to clear him of his suspicions, and at the same time arranged for him to continue to do dead wood to confuse his sight.

When Mu Dutong died, almost everyone believed that the murderer was the younger sister. As a result, the music teacher "resurrected" and gave the audience another surprise.

At the same time, killing is a reversal of revenge, which also adds a lot of highlights to the plot. The scene of brother and sister committing suicide made many emotional audience cry.

After watching the plot of the second case, the family still recalled the replay.

"These brothers and sisters are too miserable."

"Yeah, those beasts should be killed, but it's a pity that the two of them died in the end."

"Cao Xuan did a great job. I cried watching the part where he buried the teacher at the end."

"Is this Bao Zheng a broom star? Shen Liang died in front of him, and a music teacher died here. It's really dangerous to be his friend."

"This is a plot design, and I think his friend will die next time."

"..."

The family chatted about the plot for a while, Xiao Hua looked at his watch and called everyone to sleep.

"Okay, stop chatting, it's ten o'clock, wash up and go to sleep, you have to go to work and school tomorrow."

"Mom, I'm afraid, can I sleep with you?"

Meng Xiaomang would think of the horrific plot just now, and still have some psychological shadows, hugging Xiao Hua and acting like a baby.

Xiao Hua thought for a while, then nodded happily and said, "Okay, you sleep with me, and your dad sleeps on the sofa."

Oh my god, there are unexpected rewards from watching TV!

Lao Meng didn't object in the slightest, and was even a little happy. These two days were the days of paying public food, and he was worried about how to hide. This time it was fine, and he was ordered to sleep on the sofa.

The three of Xiao Hua washed and went to bed, while Lao Meng lay on the sofa, looking around at the dark and silent living room, feeling a little panicked, and couldn't help but turn on the TV on mute, add some light, and embolden himself.

Unable to fall asleep, Lao Meng tuned to the sports station to see if there was a replay of the game just now, to divert his attention and relax.

As a result, I saw the sports message broadcast, Australia 3:0 national football team.

Ri Nima, Lao Meng can't sleep at all...

.........

The next day, the headline on the front page of the Beijing Daily was not about the national football team, but about the ratings of "Youth Bao Qingtian" on Beijing Satellite TV.

The national average rating jumped from the previous 4.2 to 7.1, and the ratings in the capital even reached 28.4.

Shanghai Satellite TV also announced the ratings of "Youth Bao Qingtian", which is not far behind the TV station in Beijing, the national ratings are slightly lower, and the regional ratings are slightly higher.

And the combined market share of the two machines had once approached more than 25%.

You know, "Young Bao Qingtian" has only been aired for about a third of the time. If this continues, the national ratings are expected to be above 15, and even reach 20.

With this result, one can almost look forward to the ratings champion in 2000. Even if it can't make it to CCTV's "Journey to the West", it can still win the satellite TV championship.

The drama "Young Bao Qingtian" officially announced its release from the circle, and Bao Zheng, Gongsun Ce, and Chu Chu became hotly discussed names nowadays.

The leading actors also quickly became popular, Ren Quan and Li Bingbing rose rapidly to varying degrees, and Cao Xuan, not to mention the number one male lead, became more and more popular.

More importantly, he finally has a leading role in the film and television industry. Behind the new Chinese king, he can add a popular niche.

Film appointments that came to invite him to participate in the film like flying towards the stars, including some high-quality crews, which also shows that the film and television industry has begun to open up to Cao Xuan one after another, and no longer simply regard him as a singer.

The popularity of "Youth Bao Qingtian" also triggered a frantic rush for the second round of broadcasting rights.

So far, three TV stations have made offers, the highest bid has exceeded 300 million, and the other two are also above 200 million.

As the ratings of "Youth Bao Qingtian" become more and more popular, and more and more TV stations enter the show, the price of the second round of broadcasting rights should be able to increase a little bit.

Chen Yong is very confident that he will at least sell the broadcasting rights for the second round to more than 1200 million. For the remaining three rounds, he will make up for 300 million.

It was originally planned that the price for the second and third rounds would be 1000 million to 1500 million. Now it seems that it is very likely that the task will be overfulfilled.

What is even more surprising is the pre-roll advertisement. Before the broadcast of "Youth Bao Qingtian", three of them were sold, one for 100 million.
Now there is no more than 300 million, so there is no need to ask. If Chen Yong is a little bit crazy, the pre-roll advertisement can at least earn more than 1500 million.

And besides that, Taiwan province copyrights and DVD copyrights can also earn 80 yuan.

Before, Cao Xuan boldly speculated 5000 million, but now it seems a bit conservative, 6000 million is possible.

Cao Xuan accounts for 20% of the crew, and is expected to share 1200 million yuan. Even if the tax is deducted, it is enough for him to buy two sets of courtyard houses with three inputs and three outputs in the capital.

Aside from Penguin, this is Cao Xuan's most successful investment so far.

What makes him feel a little regretful is that this is a one-shot deal.

After the success of "Youth Bao Qingtian", Chen Yong quickly started to film the second part, and still found Cao Xuan as the leading role, but except for the 150 million film salary, he no longer accepted Cao Xuan's investment.

Cao Xuan understood Chen Yong's approach very well. After all, the first film was so popular that any fool would know that the second film was made to make money.

Chen Yong has made a lot of money and has no shortage of investment in his hands, so he naturally doesn't want to share the meat with Cao Xuan.

But understanding is understanding, Chen Yong wants to eat alone, and Cao Xuan, who won the first wave of TV drama bonuses, doesn't want to work for others.

Since he can't participate in the investment, he doesn't have to play the role of Bao Zheng, so everyone gets together and disperses.

Chen Yong was very happy, obviously he had expected it long ago, and even prepared to tear his face apart. Unexpectedly, Cao Xuan's reaction was flat, which made the various public relations measures he had prepared useless.

The two sides broke up peacefully, and Hu Jing also advanced and retreated with Cao Xuan, and no longer participated in the second part of "Youth Bao Qingtian".

This news is kept secret for the time being, and it will be announced after the first broadcast of "Youth Bao Qingtian" and the sale of the second round of broadcasting rights are over, so as not to affect the ratings and selling price.

After deciding not to participate in the "Youth Bao Qingtian" series, Cao Xuan had a headache, what would he do next.

The film contract in his hand didn't have any characters that he liked for the time being, and the company's play only had "Love Through Time and Space".

Cao Xuan felt that he was not suitable for the soft and cute temperament of the male lead Zhu Yunqi, but the second male Zhu Di was fine, but the role was too small.

Changing the script to become a double hero?

Or open another one?
----

ps: According to the suggestions of book friends, I changed the previous ratings data
After all, the age is long, many information cannot be found, and the statistics of various parties are different, so it can only be roughly calculated based on some references. I hope everyone understands the inappropriateness. It is just a butterfly effect...
