From being on the show with my ex, it started to explode

Chapter 192 The Silent Truth

The scripts Song Ci has written so far still have a very high status in the world.

Books like "Return to Youth" and "The Eight Parts of the Dragon" are all well-received.

Therefore, the industry's expectations for "The Silent Truth" written and performed by Song Ci are still very, very high.

For example, on some forums, some people were having heated discussions after watching the trailer.

"The quality of this film seems to be very good so far. I remember that the director Wei Weijiang is the first time he has served as the director of this kind of TV series, right? He must have been the deputy of several directors before, but I don't know if he is directing it himself this time. Can you tell us what kind of story it is?"

"It's hard to say. I heard that Wei Weijiang was Song Ci's college classmate. There might be some nepotism involved!"

"As you said, isn't Cai Cunyi also a college classmate of Song Ci? But look at how well Cai Cunyi shot Rejuvenation! So nepotism is not terrible, as long as you have the ability!"

There are three other domestic video website platforms that have almost the same status as Penguin Video.

At this moment, everyone at Tengfei Video, where Yun Feifei worked before, is staring at the silent truth of Penguin Video.

"What do you think? It can be said that Penguin's suspense theater is getting better and better now. Now they have released this year's so-called Wang Zhao work. If the reputation of this show also takes off, then their... The suspense theater is really unstoppable!”

"We should follow up too!"

"Yun Feifei left our company and went to Song Ci's company. I heard that they are working on a variety show. Now they are soliciting sponsorships from everywhere. At the same time, they are also looking for online broadcast platforms and are in contact with us recently."

"Don't panic about this. Let's put some pressure on it first. If their show on Penguin's Silent Truth doesn't do well, we can also put down the price of their variety show!"

The person in charge of Tengfei’s calculations can be said to be rattling.

Song Ci sat in the office and listened to Yun Feifei's report.

"Boss, looking at it now, the sponsorship we can get is currently only 3500 million, which is not even enough for our production costs. This is just a friendly price given by the sponsors based on our lineup!" Yun Feifei sat in front of Song Ci, her face a little ugly.

Song Ci gave her Running Brothers to produce, and she also personally participated in the recording of the first and second issues.

A few days ago, Yun Feifei led her team to edit the first phase of the sample, and then gave it to nearly 1 Party A fathers from all walks of life to watch it again.

But the sponsorship received in the end was still only 3500 million.

This number is a huge disappointment to Yun Feifei.

Although Running Brothers is a variety show, its production cost is actually very high.

The appearance fee for just a few regular guests is tens of millions.

Not to mention having to travel all over the country to record.

The overall production cost is roughly estimated to be around [-] million.

So the current sponsorship fee is only 3500 million, which is still a loss.

This is something Yun Feifei cannot accept.

But when Song Ci heard her report, he seemed very calm:
"It's okay. Now I can get back 3500 million from the sponsorship alone. I can get tens of millions back later if I sell it to the video platform. If the reputation is good in the future, if the sponsors increase the amount, I think we can get back the money. Sister Feifei, Our goal for the first variety show is to make money back, and not to take too big steps."

Yun Feifei looked at the strategizing look of the man in front of her who was younger than herself, her eyelids twitched, and then she breathed a deep sigh of relief, and then said:
"Okay, boss, now we are preparing for the recording of the 5th and 6th episodes. Penguin Video is quite interested in our program, but their price is relatively low now, and they only give us one episode. 250 million, Tengfei was more sincere and gave 280 million. Kiwi Video also gave 250 million, and then Xuoyin Video mainly offered 300 million."

Mimi listened, calculated in her mind, and then said with a smile: "We have a total of 12 episodes of the show, and if it really costs 300 million per episode, it will only sell for 3600 million, which is still not good."

Song Ci nodded, and then said: "It's better not to negotiate a buyout contract with them. Just sign a betting agreement with them. How much will we get if the playback volume reaches 1 million? How much will we get if the playback volume reaches 2 million."

Mimi said: "I don't know if the platform is willing to do so... We are really weak now. If we really want to open our mouths, it will be easy to get twice the result with half the effort!"

Now there are only three people, Mimi, Song Ci, Yun and Feifei, in the office, so Mimi has nothing to hide and directly speaks her heart.

Yun Feifei nodded after hearing this and said: "Actually, I am very confident in the quality and content of our programs, but now after all, the platform stores are bullying customers!"

Song Ci raised his hand and knocked on the table, hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"Don't be impatient yet, let's take a look at the silent truth first and see how it plays out on Penguin Video!"

Speaking of the silent truth, Mimi suddenly remembered something:
"Boss, two days ago, Penguin Video called me and said that if the first six episodes of The Silent Truth perform well, they will be prepared to charge for the next six episodes!"

Song Ci's brows immediately knitted together.

He had also heard the person in charge of Penguin talk about this matter before, but nothing was said about it later.

Song Ci thought that maybe they didn't plan to promote charging for the Silent Truth project.

But judging from the other party's tone now, it seems that he is completely ready to do it! ?
Song Ci waved his hand at Mimi and said, "This is not okay, I don't agree with it, it will ruin my reputation!"

Mimi immediately showed an ugly smile: "The silent truth... They are the largest employer after all, and we still have relatively little say..."

While Song Ci and his team were hesitating, The Silent Truth was officially aired on Penguin Video as scheduled, and four episodes were immediately released.

……

The story begins with a ragged man wearing glasses walking into a subway station carrying a suitcase.

He was sweating profusely and his clothes were soaked.

It can be seen that the box being pulled is very heavy.

Just as he was passing through the security check, the security inspector suddenly noticed something strange inside his box.

Then the man yelled at everyone that there was a bomb.

The atmosphere at the scene immediately became weird.

The audience who saw this seemed extremely excited.

The pace of this film is very fast as soon as it starts, and the sense of suspense is immediately filled.

"There's something there. This guy couldn't have killed someone and dumped his body, right?"

"Definitely, the quality of this movie is absolutely amazing!"

"Why hasn't Song Ci come out yet?"

"Who is the director of this drama? I think the language of this shot is quite interesting. It doesn't look like a newbie!"

Ten minutes later, seven or eight police cars arrived quickly, and dozens of riot police armed with shields quickly formed a crescent-shaped team to surround the exit.

Seeing that the man was gradually losing control of his emotions, the captain of the criminal police of the city bureau immediately went over to deal with him.

Then take advantage of his unpreparedness and subdue the opponent with one move.

The suitcase was moved to an open area, and the EOD team began to detect it. Under the gaze of dozens of pairs of eyes, they nervously walked to the suitcase and slowly opened the chain. What came into view was not a bomb, but A corpse!
This is a thin and clean male corpse!
During his lifetime, he was the youngest and most outstanding prosecutor in Pingkang County, but after his death, he was called "the deceased Jiang Yang" by the outside world, and he left behind the dark experience of two years in prison!
The audience was stunned as soon as this picture came up!

"Let me go, what's going on? Is this corpse played by Song Ci? No, isn't Song Ci the male protagonist of this drama? Why did he die as soon as he came on?"

"Holy shit, this beginning made me feel numb! The screenwriter of Song Ci is so awesome, it completely attracted me!" "I was so dumbfounded at this beginning. What on earth can you explain to me? , is this script an original script by Song Ci? Is there an original work that I can read? I really want to know the story behind it!"

"Hahaha, why don't the camera give Song Ci a close-up? I want to see what he looks like without clothes hehehehe!"

"The smell upstairs! I'm different. I want to see Song Ci's butt!"

The story continues.

The man who dumped the body was named Zhang Chao. He was a teacher in Jiangyang and a well-known criminal defense lawyer in Jiangtan City.

Not to mention how brilliant his previous resume was, his status as deputy dean of the School of Political Science and Law at the age of 34 is enough to make people jaw-dropping.

It's a pity that Zhang Chao has a great future, but he falls in love with the female student Li Jing, and even gives up everything for her and leaves home.

It was not until the age of 36 that he started from scratch and founded Jiangdong Law Firm on his own.

In the past ten years, he has handled thousands of cases and almost never missed a case.

No one expected that such a legendary figure in the political and legal circles would use extremely despicable means to kill people and dump their bodies.

Facing the police interrogation, he chose to cooperate and confessed, truthfully explaining that Jiang Yang had a dispute over a debt dispute.

And the process of committing the crime, including why he later chose to take the subway to the suburbs to destroy the corpses and eliminate traces...

however……

At the court hearing, Zhang Chao suddenly recanted his confession, refused to admit the murder charge, and then produced a perfect alibi, making the originally clear case suddenly become confusing...

The plot unfolds layer by layer.

After watching the few episodes that have already been released, everyone realized that this is a drama with a two-line narrative.

On the one hand, Yan Liang, a police officer played by Lu Chuncai, is investigating the murder of the male protagonist Jiang Yang in the current time period.

On the other hand, with his investigation, his eyes went back many years ago, and back to the plot of Jiang Yang investigating layer by layer for the death of his classmate.

It was only then that the audience understood what this play seemed to be about.

Probably a young prosecutor encountered a very dark case.

And he kept running for this case and looking for evidence, but he encountered layers of darkness, and even went to jail himself.

He is constantly looking for justice, but justice seems to be always absent.

The Silent Truth, the four episodes immediately attracted the audience as soon as they were released.

In just one day, the views of each of the four online episodes exceeded [-] million.

The cumulative total is almost reaching the nearly 10 billion playback mark.

This shows how popular this drama is among the public.

Discussions about the relevant plot have spread all over the Internet.

Tiger pounce.

"Have you all finished watching Song Ci's new drama, The Silent Truth? I feel so fucking awesome!"

"The first four episodes are full of rhythm, atmosphere and suspense, and it can be seen that the subsequent plot must be that Jiang Yang keeps discovering the truth, but is constantly suppressed, until he even dies tragically in the end. It's so tragic, I now I don’t even dare to look back!”

"I feel that Song Ci's image as a young prosecutor is quite good. His acting skills are great!"

Zhihu hot list.

"In The Silent Truth, it is obvious that the male protagonist was suppressed by evil forces in the subsequent plot, and judging from his body in the first episode, he completely failed!"

"You're right, but I don't know why. I still want to watch the rest of the plot and want to know what kind of villain is so arrogant!"

“The script of Song Ci is really well written, especially if you look at the first four episodes, it’s so precise and it can be said that it’s like a snake with gray threads. I just hope it doesn’t end badly in the end, especially since the male protagonist was killed right from the beginning. , if this plot cannot be recovered in the end, I feel that the final score will definitely drop!"

The Silent Truth is on the shelves for the 2nd day.

The cumulative playback volume has exceeded 15 billion, and its popularity across the entire network has completely increased.

At this time, there is even a hot search entry like "Please update the silent truth" on Weibo's hot search.

As soon as I entered, the audience who followed this drama were frantically urging for updates.

Many people flocked to the promotional Weibo posts of several leading actors and sent comments frantically.

For example, the Weibo comments of actor Lu Chuncai have been basically occupied by the audience.

Although Lu Chuncai has a very good reputation in the world, many big directors are willing to cooperate with him.

But in fact, his number of fans on Weibo is relatively small.

If you post a post on Weibo and like it, the total number of comments will be a few thousand to less than 1.

But the number of likes and comments on his latest Weibo post promoting Silent Truth has exceeded 5.

This is enough to show how popular this show is.

"Why do I feel that the character Yan Liang in The Silent Truth is just a tool? I feel like our Lao Lu has no room for development!"

"I have been looking forward to a rivalry between Lao Lu and Song Ci before, but now that the two time and space are intertwined, there will be no rivalry at all!"

"However, Lao Lu's image as a policeman is still very upright! Our domestic entertainment industry needs actors like this!"

Needless to say, Song Ci's Weibo account received hundreds of thousands of comments from fans early on.

The first place in the front row is Li Siyu's comment: "I finished chasing The Silent Truth overnight! It's super good, so the question is, when will the next few episodes be updated? I've already watched it twice, and it's not satisfying at all!"

Li Siyu's comment received more than 30 likes from fans.

Song Ci smiled and replied to Li Siyu: "Don't worry, don't worry, I've already communicated with Penguin Video!"

What Song Ci said was not empty talk. He actually communicated with Zhang Shuhua and others of Penguin Video.

First of all, I hope to be able to update an episode of Silent Truth every day.

In addition, Song Ci’s second request is that he hopes that the next few episodes of Penguin Video will not be charged.

Don't do this kind of thing.

But Penguin did not agree to Song Ci's request.
