China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 780: Love is only about Zhang Ruolan, sweeping across Asia
It was a huge hit upon its premiere.

And it was a phenomenal explosion.

It really surprised many people.

"The Lonely and Great God" has a total of thirty episodes. In order to increase its popularity, Mango TV put this drama in the Diamond Exclusive Theater.

Since the establishment of the Diamond Exclusive Theater, it has been scheduled to broadcast two days a week without fail.

As a result, netizens who saw the broadcast announcement were in an uproar online, and some even organized themselves to rush to Mango TV.
"Damn it, only two episodes a week, who will watch it? If the foreigners next door see it, they will think we look down on them. Hurry up and update it, two episodes a day!"

"Grand Commander, please don't cooperate with the rotten Mango TV next time. Otherwise, Bilibili will start paid on-demand streaming. I have the money."

"Zhou Yutang and Zhang Ruolan are such a good match, this drama is really addictive!"

"Don't Zhou Yutang and Zhu Yilong look good together? Funny face·jpg"

"Please, please update one more episode, I will do anything."

Even Mango TV was caught off guard by the crazy enthusiasm for chasing the drama.

This has never happened since the Diamond Theater was established.

After an internal meeting, Zhou Yutang was consulted.

The top management of Mango TV reluctantly made a decision to handle the matter in a special way:

"In view of the audience's strong desire to watch the drama, our Diamond Theater has adjusted its broadcast schedule and will broadcast one more day this week, so that it will continue to be broadcast during the National Day holiday..."

As soon as the news came out, the whole network went into a frenzy.

When the show first aired, it was Zhou Yutang who brought in the incredible amount of attention.

As the TV series continues to air, the plot of this story mixed with fantasy elements unfolds further.

The audience couldn't stop watching the show, and the ratings continued to rise steadily.

This also brought unimaginable attention to the entire creative team.

Zhou Yutang once again proved his status as the ratings king.

Other characters in the play, such as Zhu Yilong's Messenger of Purgatory, are also highly discussed.

A long black coat and a perfectly tailored suit, walking into the night.

With Zhu Yilong's acting skills, it is not difficult at all to support such an emotionless and cold machine.

The purpose of this character is to provide a special perspective to observe the changes in the relationship between the male and female protagonists.

And the messenger of hell played by Brother Long also went from being confused to being moved in the process, which finally made the whole story more full.

In addition, the sharp tongues, love-hate relationship, and tacit understanding between Zhou Yutang and Zhu Yilong in life have also made countless people laugh.

Zhou Yutang and Zhu Yilong are both first-tier stars.

This time the fire was raging and the oil was turning red to purple.

The person who benefited the most was none other than the heroine Zhang Ruolan.

Although she was once popular because of the title of Pisces Girl.

But without any works of her own, the initial popularity quickly faded, and Zhang Ruolan was ultimately just a nobody in the entertainment industry.

Now, everything is different.

The first broadcast of "The Lonely and Great God" was a huge hit, and with the support of huge traffic, Zhang Ruolan became famous overnight.

And it’s a huge hit.

There is no need for a team to engage in deliberate marketing.

A few daily life videos on Douyin have millions of likes.

These statistics are in no way inferior to those of the top female stars in the circle.

"I dream about Zhang Ruolan all the time. I really want to fall in love with her."

"It feels a bit like Zheng Shuang."

"How can someone be so cute?"

"The Grand Commander has taken another one with him, Liu Ming the Fire Tongs."

Zhang Ruolan has handed over her social media account to the assistant assigned to her by the company.

Because she had to do the promotion work for the drama herself, she couldn't keep up with it.

Xiao Zhang, who seemed to be in a dream, still posted a microblog, "For me, these past few days have been like a dream.

The premiere of "The Lonely and Great God" was very successful. Thanks to the boss for signing me.

It made me go from being an ordinary girl to officially becoming an actor.

I know that I still have a lot of shortcomings, but now that I have made the choice, I will work hard and firmly to continue on the path of an actor.

Everyone should keep working hard together, @《孤单又大的神》official Weibo, go for it! "

When Zhang Ruolan posted her latest Weibo post, her Weibo followers had exceeded two million.

And at this time.

The TV series has only been aired for three short days.

All of a sudden.

The envious eyes of the young actresses in the circle were all cast on this lucky girl who had risen to the top of the world.

There are many beautiful women in the entertainment industry.

Zhang Ruolan, whether in "The Lonely and Great God" or in real life.

She is not one of those top-notch beauties that will make you stunning at first sight.

But her beauty lies in her pure looks and fresh temperament, and the more you look at her, the more comfortable you feel.

I don’t know if it’s the filter of the TV drama role that has blessed her, but everyone always feels that this girl that Zhou Yutang has chosen has a kind of affinity that is difficult to describe in words.

Apart from Zhang Ruolan, Gao Ye's second female lead and other supporting characters in the play, each character is very distinctive and outstanding.

Everyone has their own shining points.

Even Zhou Ye, who guest-starred as Princess Jin Sun in "The Great God".

He was hit by an arrow at the very beginning, and then died right there, living only in the memories of the male protagonist Kim Shin.

Even she got a lot of attention.

There were even entertainment reporters who deliberately went to stake out near the school and interviewed Zhou Ye when he and his roommates went out to find food.

Whenever someone saw Zhou Ye at school, they would stop and stare at him.

Then he whispered to his companions that this was Princess Jin Sun.

Guan Xiaotong and Zhou Ye’s roommates saw it all.

Although he seemed happy for her on the surface, he actually had different thoughts.

"Xiao Ye, congratulations, you are famous."

Xu Zijun had a flattering smile on his face, "Remember to give your sisters a chance to hug your thighs in the future."

"No way."

Zhou Ye said modestly: "Xiaotong is the one who is popular."

"Don't be so modest, Coconut. The entertainment reporters have all come to school."

Another roommate said.

"That's it."

Guan Xiaotong joined in the fun with her roommates, and the atmosphere was very lively.

In fact, the princesses in the Beijing circle are a little envious.

She also watches every episode of the drama.

I have to say, I was really amazed when I saw Zhou Ye's shots.

Guan Xiaotong debuted at a young age and has acted in countless TV series, but there are almost no roles of her that people can remember.

As for Zhou Ye, he only relied on this scene that kept flashing in Zhou Yutang's memories...

It is enough to become her masterpiece.

According to Zhou Ye, it was Governor Zhou who taught him this scene step by step, and they shot it more than a dozen times until he thought the most suitable shot appeared.

I have to say, the effect is perfect.

Princess Jin Shan, played by Zhou Ye, is like a pure flower withering sadly, which undoubtedly makes her even more pitiful.

It may even be mentioned again after a few years.

Naturally, it also received a lot of attention.

Many fans bought shares in advance to bet on this upcoming young star from Jiangdong family.

It's not as exaggerated as Zhang Ruolan's gain of millions of fans in a few days, but it's also a huge increase in popularity, with hundreds of thousands of fans on Weibo.

"Today I am treating everyone to a meal to celebrate the end of military training and the successful broadcast of my first TV series in my life."

Faced with this kind of social occasion, Zhou Ye felt a little awkward, but soon he smiled and said in a generous manner: "Red Coral, let's go!"

“Coconut atmosphere!”

“Congratulations Coconut Baby!”

……

A phenomenally popular TV series.

Not only the actors, but also the director Yu Feihong, has also received wide praise in the industry.

“For Jiangdong’s drama, the money was spent where it should be spent. Governor Zhou was a bit willful and had a sharper vision. He actually gave this project to Yu Feihong.

If we had known earlier, Yu Feihong had only made one not-so-successful movie before this, but this drama actually gave her the quality of a movie.

From the picture and music to the costumes and makeup.

Every frame and every OST in the drama shows a quality that can blow away other TV dramas.

It can be expected that another new female director star will rise...”

Experts in the industry have recently been keeping their eyes on "The Lonely and Great God", from the actors to the director to the capital behind the scenes.

Rational analysis from all angles.

It is not difficult to see from this the market position and value of the drama in the industry.

Some time ago, the senior management of Blueberry TV jumped into the limelight, and Zhang Hua of Mango TV specially held a press conference.

There was no mention of Blueberry TV, but every sentence sounded like a response to the high-profile senior executive of Blueberry TV.

It's a game of grudges.

Expensive things have their reasons for being expensive.

The reporter boasted about his forward-looking market vision and courage.

Mango director Zhang Hua knows it well.

This is due to Zhou Yutang's dominant position in the drama circle.

Just follow the aircraft carrier Shangjiangdong and everything will be done!

……

The entertainment reporters squatting under the Jiangdong Building were looking forward to it.

I just hope to wait until Zhou Yutang walks out of the building and get a first-hand interview.

It was a pity that Governor Zhou hid in the small building and stayed there for several days, feeling lonely.

However, his beautiful female assistant Ni Ni leaked a rumor that her boss was preparing a script for a new play.

"Warner seems to have collaborated with him on two film projects."

"Is it Joker or Aquaman?"

Entertainment journalists have their own news channels.

Based on the latest official project information from Warner, they made a rough estimate and became slightly excited. The fact was just as they expected.

Before the show started, Zhou Yutang had quite a lot of schedule to promote the show.

But after the TV series was broadcast, he became a recluse.

With his current status, he is not suitable to participate in outdoor variety shows such as Running Man and Go Fighting.

If the host goes there, he will just accompany the prince to read, and he won't be able to relax at all, and the show will become boring.

At most, you can go to the Mushroom House to experience Mr. Huang’s cooking skills and the evil gardenia.

Ni Ni walked into the office and prepared to report her itinerary to Zhou Yutang.

It was not surprising to see Zhou Yutang slumped in the large boss chair, arguing fiercely with someone.

Help organize the scattered storyboard papers on the table.

These days, apart from his building-touting trips, Zhou Yutang has calmed down and re-polished the script of "Joker".

Phoenix was a little obsessed with this role.

Read more latest popular novels at 6.9*shuba!

But his understanding of the role does make sense.

Zhou Yutang considered it and decided to make some details changes based on the original script, since it would be Phoenix who would be the one to deal with it anyway.

Use whichever version works best.

Twenty minutes later, the call finally ended.

Ni Ni's feet seemed to be sore from standing, so she sat on the sofa.

Those two slender legs, tilted together, were indescribably elegant and attractive.

After taking a sip of water to moisten his throat and turning his gaze away from the beautiful legs, Zhou Yutang calmly asked, "Are you ready for the premiere?"

"It's arranged. It's scheduled for the 25th."

"Well, the Hundred Flowers Awards are also during those two days?"

"The Hundred Flowers Awards is on the 26th. They have contacted us again and want to confirm your schedule."

"Notify them and they will be there."

Zhou Yutang rubbed his forehead, remembered something, and told Ni Ni:

"Director Chen Qi from Mango TV will be coming to Beijing in the next two days. Please ask the public relations department to receive him when he arrives."

"Still going to the pony club?"

"It's up to you."

In addition to writing the script, Zhou Yutang did not forget to follow up on the post-production progress of "Three Lives Three Worlds" and "Snow".

"The Lonely and Great God" became a phenomenal hit as soon as it was aired, and Mango TV, having tasted the sweetness, quickly took action.

It was still Director Chen Qi who went to Beijing for the second time to look after Jiangdong.

Although he was talking about the Golden Eagle Goddess, his real intention was not to talk about the Golden Eagle Goddess.

Zhou Yutang saw through his thoughts and smiled softly, "The post-production of Eternal Love will definitely be completed before the end of the year, and we will coordinate with Mango TV to schedule the broadcast then."

"As for 'Snow Swordsman', we will probably have to wait until next year. It has already been confirmed that it will be broadcast on CCTV Channel 8."

Zhou Yutang also has two S-level dramas in his hands.

It's not just Mango TV that's salivating over it.

Domestic first-tier TV stations are all looking for ways and solutions.

This is like the Sword of the Heavenly Sword and the Dragon Slaying Sabre. As long as you get one of them, you can command the martial arts world and compete with all the heroes.

The fantasy drama "Eternal Love" was rated S-level and broadcast on Mango TV.

The first broadcast rights of another S+-rated drama, "The Snowy Swordsman," were booked in advance by CCTV.

"Mr. Zhou, what about the two new plays at the Mist Theater?"

"We'll discuss this at the screening."

Since everyone was so close, Zhou Yutang didn't hide anything.

Since the filming of "Day and Night" started in July, nearly 70% of the filming has been completed.

Zhou Yutang plans to hand over another new project of the Misty Theater to new director Lao Suan.

Because the drama was filmed in Northeast China in winter, and due to the actors' schedules, it is still in preparation.

Zhou Yutang will not tie himself entirely to Mango TV.

The right way is to have the best of both worlds and take advantage of everything.

The resource channels of CCTV and other first-tier TV stations in China are also very attractive...

……

Domestic ratings have been rising steadily.

At the same time, "The Lonely and Great God" was also broadcast on B station's overseas video platform.

First, South Korea bombed it directly.
"Shit, this drama is really addictive."

"Why are we updating one episode later than China?"

"I have a membership on the Chinese website and have already watched the latest episode. It's really, really good."

"Wow, Zhou Yutang is really the perfect ideal type, no wonder Yoona and IU like him."

"Great! The second male lead is also very handsome. The female lead is unexpectedly pretty. Are all Chinese actresses so pretty?"

"Ah Xi, didn't they say that cultural interactions should be restricted? Why are Chinese TV dramas so popular in the Great Cold Nether Country?"

Famous South Korean forums such as Naver and Pann have been searching for "The Lonely and Great God".

Some people were so angry that they cursed while watching the drama.

Zhou Yutang is not a South Korean after all, but he is so famous.

Who can withstand the attack from their local entertainment industry?

But I have to admit that this TV series has the texture of a movie.

Some people are obsessed with following the drama.

This group of people don't care about politics.

Most of them are young women, and they strongly recommend it to their friends.

In fact, after the Shade incident, China did not make any public announcement, but in fact it had already implemented a restriction on Korean culture.

South Korea has also imposed restrictions on the broadcast of Chinese TV dramas.

Nothing happened on the surface, but there were huge waves in secret.

However, Kaka has recently been embroiled in controversy due to her best friend's interference in politics.

He was overwhelmed and his momentum plummeted.

The people and scholars there are ready to join forces to oust her from office.

The authorities have no time to take care of these things.

What’s more, now is the Internet age.

Zhou Yutang's new drama is still spreading through various online channels.

The tide of cultural export is unstoppable and unstoppable.

In addition to triggering a craze for the drama in South Korea, the topic of discussion in our next-door neighbor Japan recently is also "The Lonely and Great God".

The belief in ghosts and gods is popular in Japan. The story of this drama is fresh and compact, including elements of fantasy and romance, and there is also a lot of killing in Japan.

Even in Southeast Asia, the show was a huge hit, with online viewing volumes hitting new highs.

When the news reached China, it added fuel to the fire.

The moon abroad is not particularly round.

However, "The Lonely and Great God" was very popular in Asia. China is a vast country with beautiful filming locations, which was recognized by foreigners and undoubtedly greatly boosted the self-confidence of the people.

Da Mimi especially likes to read reposted South Korean forum posts.

Whenever I see those South Korean girls going crazy for Zhou Yutang, I feel a twisted sense of pleasure in my heart - your male god has been taken by Sister Mi.

Besides this, she was also keen on how much money Zhou Yutang made.
"A record-breaking 950 million per episode, episodes in total, the first broadcast alone earned nearly million..."

"Oh my god, add the second and third rounds, and the online broadcast rights, how much is that?"

With her slender fingers raised, she couldn't quite figure it out, so Da Mimi took out her cell phone, opened the calculator, and began to calculate carefully.

This year she completed her KPI with "The Interpreter", but she is afraid of comparison.

The channels controlled by Mihang are effective, and the money earned from "The Interpreter", even if the company's added value is included, may not be comparable to the income brought by the project operated by Yutang last week.

In the past, after a drama was filmed, it would be sold to TV stations to recoup costs and make a profit.

Now that the version has been updated, the proportion of TV station broadcasting rights revenue is getting smaller and smaller.

Advertising investment from major video platforms and related peripheral products account for the bulk of revenue.

Zhou Yutang has been making a lot of money by owning the leading video website, Bilibili.

Moreover, as the show aired, Yu Sheng's new outfits that matched the show also sold out...

Da Mimi was calculating Zhou Yutang's accounts, feeling indescribable envy and admiration in her heart...

……

In addition to the publicity work.

On the 25th, Zhou Yutang attended the premiere of "Operation Mekong" held in the CPPCC Auditorium in Beijing.

This main-theme commercial blockbuster is a major project of the National Day holiday.

The audience at the premiere was a little special.

There were more than a thousand police officers and students from the police academy present.

Zhou Yutang greeted the leaders of the Film Bureau and the Long Xuan Department, and several bigwigs from the Liushenmen headquarters were also not left out.

Suddenly, Zhou Yutang saw the upright and elegant middle-aged man, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Someone next to him introduced: "Mr. Zhou, this is the deputy director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau."

"Hello, Director Liu."

"Hey, that recent drama is really good."

Deputy Director Liu took the initiative to shake hands with Zhou Yutang and asked with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, do you have anything to say to me?"

This sharp look seems to be able to see through people's hearts.

Zhou Yutang's mind turned slightly, and he smiled and said, "Nothing, I just thought you looked familiar."

"I've seen the news about you solving those big cases, and I admire you very much."

"This is all part of my job." Deputy Director Liu waved his hand.

"If I have the chance in the future, I would like to write a script based on Director Liu."

Deputy Director Liu was slightly stunned, then he reacted and shook his head repeatedly: "What is there to film about my little thing?"

"There's so much that can be filmed."

Zhou Yutang laughed when he heard this.

In his more than 30 years as a police officer, he has solved thousands of criminal cases and nearly a hundred serious and difficult cases.

These included the Zhang Kehan ​​case, the Baiyin case, the Kaili case, and other shocking cases...

From a small police officer in Longcheng, Northeast China with no background, he relied on his merits to climb to such a high position as the deputy director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Six Gates Headquarters...

What is a legend?
Standing before you is a contemporary legend.

……

ps: You can check it out yourself, he is the contemporary Di Renjie.
