Reckless man of entertainment who started from a novel

Chapter 444 "The Beginning" was a big hit on the first day, surpassing "Gold Rush" and the first hit web drama of the year was born!

"The Beginning" and "Gold Rush" are the trump cards of the two major video platforms at the same time.

Not only the audience has great expectations for "The Beginning" and "Gold Rush".

Even Penguin Video and Kiwi Video, the two major video sites, have high expectations for these two web dramas!

But what to say...

I thought that the online drama "Gold Rush" directed by the famous director Jiang Yuan and starring Qu Jingyou, the top streamer in person, would be able to compete with each other when it premiered, not to mention overwhelming "The Beginning", right?
This is the scene where Jiang Yuan placed "The Beginning" and Li Xiang on the same level of status and strength as himself. Before the premiere data came out, Jiang Yuan always thought that this result could only be dreamed of!

But who knows that the premiere on the first day is over.

"Gold Rush" was directly defeated by "The Beginning"!
On the hot search lists on all major platforms, the shadows of "The Beginning" are overwhelming, and there is not even any news about "Gold Rush".

Everyone was very surprised. Is it because the crew of "The Beginning" was too willing to spend money on marketing, or because the crew of "Gold Rush" hired the famous director Jiang Yuan and hired a top-notch winding path, so they were relatively tight, so they didn't Are you willing to spend money on marketing?
Know yourself and know your enemy, win every battle, if you say that Qu Jingyou is a character with eyes on the top of his head, he likes to look down on others, and never looks down on others.

Although Jiang Yuan is a famous director, he is also a person with real skills, so after he learned the huge difference in popularity between the two TV series "Gold Rush" and "The Beginning" the next day, he was also very puzzled.

Because this "Gold Rush" is also a work above the level of his career shooting, it makes no sense to be suppressed by "The Beginning"!

A thought flashed through his mind... How about taking a look at what "The Beginning" has instilled in the audience?

Thinking of this, he immediately took out his phone, clicked on the video app, and played the first episode of "The Beginning".

From the very beginning, Jiang Yuan held the idea of ​​weighing Li Xiang, but later...Jiang Yuan unknowingly became that he wanted to figure out the script structure of the TV series "The Beginning"!
In the end, he even wanted to see what Li Xiangwan could do with the theme of [Cycle]. Unknowingly, Jiang Yuan found out that he had watched all five episodes of "The Beginning".

Not to mention Jiang Yuan's contribution to "The Beginning", he even added a VIP member to Penguin Video, who is to blame?
After watching it, Jiang Yuan carefully analyzed the difference between the "Gold Rush" he filmed and "The Beginning".

"Gold Rush" tells the story of Simuchang, a gold rush area in Gongma country. Gold diggers want to pan for more gold dust before the rainy season comes.

The gold placer Wu Jianchao, the gold boss, who had accumulated several years for his retirement and went ashore was robbed, and faced with the crisis that the river section would be annexed. Behind all this was a mysterious gold dealer nicknamed "Owl".

Chen Baojin, a novice gold digger, came to Gongma alone in search of the truth about his brother's accidental death, but he fell into a puzzle.

The sudden "cleaning" has wiped out the hard work and hopes of the gold diggers for a season.

Everyone put all their eggs in one basket and rushed to the old gold field in Sister Ridge, which had been abandoned for decades, to make a last-ditch effort.

The gold diggers broke into the deep mountains and old forests, accompanied by the shadow of death all the way, and the story of "Owl" gradually surfaced.

Although the first five episodes of "Gold Rush" were aired with low splash, I have to say that the quality is still very good——

In the scorching sun, on the river beach of the Simuchang Gold Rush Area in Gongma Country, the gold diggers were repeating the arduous work of panning for gold under the scorching heat.

At this time, Lao Shan, the largest gold boss in Sikichang, and his female mine head, Qiu Jie, attempted to merge the river section of Wu Jianchao, another gold boss.

Wu Jianchao is a Chinese, and he has a lot of prestige in Sikichang, where the majority of Chinese gold diggers are.

Wu Jianchao's partner, Madeburg, was in a hurry to sell the gold dust he had accumulated. He secretly contacted the smuggling channel and was warned by Wu Jianchao.

A new batch of "small half" from China has arrived on the river section of Wu Jianchao.

Among them was a newcomer named Chen Baojin. Baojin and Zhao Shengli, who was also a newcomer, gradually became acquainted. The two heard from the mouth of the "Old Musketeer" Lao Liu that the biggest gold smuggler in Muchanghe was nicknamed "Owl". The high price for alluvial gold is much higher than the exchange rate given to the company.

Baojin suspects that the disappearance of his brother and the dead gold digger may be related to this "owl".

Lao Wai caught a gold dealer who came to Yoshikiba with cash, and the gold dealer confessed that he came to trade with "Owl".

But in fact, the gold dealer's trading partner was Fort Mader, but it was Lao Shan who referred the matter to the mine guard team.

At this moment, there is a reward for missing persons jointly announced by Qiu Jie and Lao Shan from Simuchang——Qiu Jie's son Batur is missing.

It turned out that Du Mao, a member of the mine protection team, teamed up with Madeburg, and the two failed to smuggle alluvial gold, so they decided to do a big one and kidnap them.

When all the gold diggers in Sikichang searched for Batur in all over the mountains and plains, Du Mao found Sister Qiu and demanded a huge ransom.

In order to find Batur, Chen Baojin, Zhao Shengli, and Alai broke into the forbidden area of ​​Sikichang-the "Ghost Cave" in the back mountain.

There, the three found Batur, who was still in shock.

But he was wronged by a group of gold diggers, saying that they were the real culprits who kidnapped Batur.

Because these three "little half" were from Wu Jianchao's section, in order to force Wu Jianchao to submit, Lao Shan chopped off one of Baojin's fingers in front of everyone, but Wu Jianchao did not act to protect him.

Sister Qiu killed Du Mao after learning that Batur had been found.

Wu Jianchao saw through the relationship between Fort Mader and the kidnapping incident, and drove him out of the river.

Baojin, who suffered so much, didn't get a penny when he settled his wages, and was dismissed by Wu Jianchao with two packs of placer gold.

Zhao Shengli accidentally bumped into the desperate owner of the grocery store in Maderburg who was looking for gold dust, which attracted Alai's attention.

Wu Jianchao always goes to the "Ghost Cave" in the back mountain alone.

Baojin didn't know that the reason they were able to find Batur before was precisely because Wu Jianchao saved the child in the cave.

It turned out that Wu Jianchao hid a person in the "ghost cave". This person was half injured and half crazy, and lost his memory.

This person is exactly the elder brother Bao Jin is looking for, Chen Xiangdong.

Ma Debao was threatened by Lao Shan and forced him to go to Wu Jianchao to find a map of Sister Ridge.

After Bao Jin was forcibly sent away by Wu Jianchao, he still worried about his brother's disappearance and Lao Wai's death, and ran back looking for an opportunity.

On the condition of curing Batur's disease, he stayed in Qiujie's river section.

A section of the river in Wu Jianchao bottomed out, and Lao Liu provoked a river beach fight.

Wu Jianchao had no choice but to gather all the gold diggers to mine in one river section, and severely punished Lao Liu.

The old sixth was in a state of desperation, premeditated the plan of "washing the field", preparing to loot the entire Sikichang.

In desperation, Magdeburg was instigated by the sixth child and decided to participate.

The mine protection team catches gold diggers in Sister Qiu's convoy for private placer gold, but Bao Jin finds out that the placer gold is forged with brass.

Sister Qiu appreciates Bao Jin's cleverness, and decides to ask him to help take care of the river section she manages.

In the "Ghost Cave" in the back mountain, Wu Jianchao was bandaging the injured Chen Xiangdong, and Chen Xiangdong, who pretended to be unconscious, suddenly woke up and knocked Wu Jianchao unconscious before fleeing.

Bao Jin found the "Ghost Cave" again and took the opportunity to tie Wu Jianchao, but he missed his brother again.

Baojin learned from Wu Jianchao about the previous festivities between the two, and Baojin didn't believe that his brother was a bad guy who stole money.

Looking at the map of Sister Ridge engraved on the cave wall by Chen Xiangdong, he guessed that he might have gone east to Sister Ridge.

At the same time, Lao Shan's thug Liuwu captured Madberg who placed explosives in the "Ghost Cave". Madberg lied that he had obtained the map of Sister Ridge, and wanted to trick Lao Shan into trading in the "Ghost Cave" and blow him up. , in order to cooperate with Lao Liu's cleansing plan.

In Jiang Yuan's opinion, the plot rhythm of the first five episodes of "Gold Rush" is fast, and the storyline and characters are well portrayed. The studio followed Jiang Yuan's guidance.

Whatever Jiang Yuan asked him to do, he would do whatever he wanted, not to mention looking for a substitute, playing big names, Jiang Yuan would relentlessly scold him even if he didn't do well in daily NG.

To be honest, Qujingyou was able to spare it!
After all, he knows that he is a traffic star, and if he does not remove this label for a day, and he has no representative works, he will soon pass away.

Today, fans can call Qujingyou husband because of the traffic, and they can naturally call others in the future. It is precisely because of this that he works so hard. Qujingyou has great ambitions. To become his masterpiece, he wants to take off the label of his traffic star!

He didn't want to be like a shooting star, passing across the sky in an instant!

That would be too miserable!

Qu Jingyou's personal history is temporarily suppressed, and his eyes return to Jiang Yuan.

In Jiang Yuan's view, "Gold Rush" has more suspenseful attributes and a faster pace. In today's fast-paced era, Jiang Yuan did not rest on his laurels, but adapted to the trend of the times. The quality of this drama can also be called a moment choice.

On the other hand, "The Beginning", although it is called a suspense drama, has one thing to say, although there is suspense, it is not great.

It's just that it takes advantage of the novel theme of [Circular], and the rhythm is not fast. In his opinion, it belongs to the type of swordsmanship, at least judging from the content of the five episodes broadcast on the first day.

Although "Gold Rush" is not as popular as "The Beginning", in Jiang Yuan's opinion, "The Beginning" is stronger than "Gold Rush", but judging from the current situation, "Gold Rush" needs follow-up efforts to surpass "Gold Rush" beginning".

But this is not a big deal to Jiang Yuan, after all, if you are fat first, you are not fat, and if you become fat later, you will overwhelm Kang!

Because he found one of the most important points of the online drama "The Beginning", because "The Beginning" is always described around the bus bombing, starting from different starting points, and the clues given after five episodes are just for the audience to I found out about the bomb in the car.

Not to mention the slow progress of the plot, this [loop] mode, after watching five episodes in one go, may feel refreshing, but the novelty has also passed to be honest, and the follow-up is weak!
In the later stage, I would like to rely on [circulation] to do things... I'm afraid it will be difficult!
In Jiang Yuan's view, anticlimactic behavior is certain!

After all, he learned from the introduction of the series that although "The Beginning" is only fifteen episodes short, it is a short film production, but the problem is the next ten episodes, what else can "The Beginning" say?
This "The Beginning", no matter from the perspective of the main plot or the grasp of the rhythm, is the rhythm of collapse!
I have to say that Jiang Yuan does have something, and his thinking is actually correct to a certain extent.

If "The Beginning" just continues the content of the first five episodes, not only will the plot appear procrastinated, but the quality of the content will also drop precipitously.

But the question is, can Li Xiang not understand the problem that Jiang Yuan can understand?

What's more, the subsequent plot of "The Beginning" is not at all what Jiang Yuan thought.

When "The Beginning" was broadcast on Earth in the previous life, many viewers commented sharply on the TV series "The Beginning"——

The audience thought that starting from the sixth episode, the quality and content of "The Beginning" had a rapid improvement!

"This kind of [cycle] theme, how should he write his ending?"

Jiang Yuan murmured.

Because of the theme of [Circulation], instead of filming movies, filming online dramas is the first case in China.

Even Jiang Yuan was somewhat perplexed by this forward-thinking theme.

He thought about this question for a long time, but still couldn't come up with an answer, but it didn't prevent him from giving "The Beginning" a bad evaluation in his heart.

The first day of "The Beginning" aired.

Play volume!
Ratings!
Hot topics!

Hot search on Weibo!

Douyin Hot!

Explode in all directions!
"The Beginning" exploded!
In the entertainment circle, web dramas are called the bottom of the food chain!

Even those directors and actors who shoot online dramas are called migrant workers in the entertainment industry by many people.

Regardless of whether they are insiders or outsiders, there are many people who actually look down on online dramas.

In the past one or two years, they have changed slightly. It is because of Li Xiang's ideas for entertainment, filming such web dramas as the Never Expected series and the Spicy Next Door series, which changed many people's impressions of web dramas.

You must know that "The Beginning" is the first S-level contract signed by Penguin Video this year, but even the official Penguin Video did not expect that the broadcast of "The Beginning" would be so popular.

It was never expected that it would be guaranteed by the two popular series of Mala Next Door, and no one would think that "The Beginning" starring Li Xiang in person would hit the street.

But the problem is... They didn't think that just one web drama would be able to overwhelm the crowd. Its ratings and broadcast volume reached new highs. Breaking the record is as easy as drinking water. This result is too exaggerated!
Seeing the popularity of "The Beginning", many insiders expressed emotion.

"The 24-hour data of the first day of "The Beginning" directly broke the record of Li Xiang's previous broadcasts of Wanwandao and Spicy Next Door series, and it didn't exceed slightly, it directly doubled!"

"The Douban score of "The Beginning" is very high, and the audience's evaluation is also very good. Even the "Gold Rush" filmed by Jiang Yuan was overwhelmed by "The Beginning"!"

"Look, the hot searches on Weibo and Douyin are all about the shadow of "The Beginning". How can you see the shadow of "Gold Rush"?"

"This "The Beginning" is really the first of its kind in domestic online dramas!"

"It is thanks to the God of Swords that web dramas are on the Hall of Elegance. Without God of Swords, there would be no web dramas today!"

"Yeah, yeah, dog meat is on the table, and you have to be a good cook like Dao Shen to do it!"
