China Entertainment Times 1999

Chapter 204 "The Storm" premiered, and ratings exploded in the three places across the Taiwan Strait!

After the first episode of "The Wind and Cloud" aired, several TV stations tacitly entered into a fifteen-minute commercial break.

Advertising broadcast during prime time is an important source of income for television stations.

If there is a hit drama like "The Storm", the advertising price will be even higher.

However, after watching the first episode, many viewers were so excited that they had no intention of watching commercials.

They logged into the portal website one after another and started discussions on the Tianya Forum.

[Although I have never read the original comic book, the appearance of Xiongba really stood out to me. He is majestic, domineering, and scheming. He feels so much like a person in a superior position. 】

[What Xiong Ba said to Yan Ying was so cool. 】

[It’s such a waste to throw it away after use. Yan Ying is so beautiful, I will still want it even if I give birth to a child. 】

[Lingyun Grotto was filmed at the Leshan Giant Buddha, right? The special effects of the fire unicorn are great! 】

[Is Little Nie Feng played by a girl? It’s so cute. 】

[Hu Jun’s senior brother is very stable, Lin Xuan’s Nie Feng is handsome and capable of fighting, and Bu Jingyun is cold and quiet. The actors in this drama are really well chosen. 】

[Who played Kong Ci? Being so ugly can be liked by so many people. 】

[Yes, why don’t you find Yang Gongru, how beautiful Kong Ci is. 】

[Duan Lang is so pitiful. Just because there is no Fengyun in his name, he doesn't even have a chance to compete fairly with Bu Jingyun. 】

[The opening and ending songs are also very nice. 】

[This drama is so good. Lin Xuan’s taste in selecting dramas is truly amazing. 】

…………

The commercial ends and the second episode of "Wind and Cloud" is broadcast.

Several assassins broke into the world to assassinate Xiongba, but were easily defeated by Bu Jingyun.

The assassin was the younger brother of his adoptive father Huo Butian. In order to protect Bu Jingyun, he took the initiative to sacrifice himself.

Wushuang City Lord Dugu Yifang visited Tianxiahui, Duanlang accidentally spilled wine on Xiongba's sleeve, and Nie Feng hurriedly knelt down to beg for mercy.

Dugu Fang persuaded Duan Lang to come to Wushuang City for development, but Duan Lang stayed for Nie Feng's friendship.

As the anniversary of their father's death approaches, they want to go to Lingyun Cave to worship their father. Xiongba agrees and sends Bu Jingyun to accompany them to monitor them.

Bu Jingyun looked down upon Duan Lang, and the two clashed, but Nie Feng stopped them.

The three of them stayed in an inn for the night and were attacked by a masked assassin. Duan Lang pretended to chase the assassin, and then betrayed the World Society and joined Wushuang City.

Nie Feng was ordered to go to Wushuang City to investigate. Xiong Ba ordered him to destroy Wushuang City, kill Dugu Yifang, and regain the Wushuang Yin and Yang Sword.

After the second episode was released, the discussion on the Internet became even more lively.

[Bu Jingyun has a blood feud and will definitely fall out with Xiongba in the future. 】

[Well done to Duan Lang, I don’t want to leave you here, but I have my own place to stay. 】

[It’s okay for him to go to Wushuang City, but he shouldn’t lie to Nie Feng. 】

[If he leaves the Tianxiahui that night, he will be easily hunted down and must find an excuse to leave. 】

[Bu Jingyun was too pretentious. If Duan Lang hadn't been merciful, he would have lost the competition. 】

[It made me laugh so hard. Bu Jingyun gave Kong Ci a carefully carved wooden box, but she used it to contain the grasshoppers that Nie Feng threw away. 】

[I haven’t read the original work, but their love triangle is definitely foreshadowing. 】

…………

the next morning.

Lin Xuan unexpectedly received a call from Wang Zhongjun.

As Huayi is an investor in "The Storm", the Wang brothers have been paying close attention to the ratings of this drama.

After getting the news, he immediately called Lin Xuan to announce the good news.

"The ratings of Hong Kong and Taiwan are not yet known, but the ratings of the four mainland TV stations have exceeded 5%. Congratulations, you have made another phenomenal TV series."

Wang Zhongjun's tone was excited, and his joy was beyond words.

With four provincial satellite TV stations on the line at the same time, the 5% ratings is an excellent result.

Many TV series broadcast independently by local stations cannot reach this number.

What is certain is that there will be no worries about not being able to sell the next two or three rounds.

After hearing this data, Lin Xuan finally let go of the stone in his heart.

He had been worried that without the help of the CCTV platform, his drama would be acclimatized.

Now it seems that this worry is unnecessary. The platform is just the icing on the cake. As long as the quality of the TV series is high, the performance will not be bad on any platform.

"I'm glad that Huayi can make a lot of money by investing in this drama."

The first broadcast rights of "The Wind and Cloud" allowed Huayi to recoup its costs, and the remaining income was all profits.

"Hahaha, it's okay. It's a pity that Huayi is not the largest investor in this drama..."

The investors of this drama come from across the Taiwan Strait and three places, and Huayi is only the smallest among them.

But even so, with all the miscellaneous income added up, this investment has a return on investment of at least 300%.

Wang Zhongjun was in a very happy mood and wanted to hug Lin Xuan and give him a kiss.

In the past, when Huayi invested in movies, it lost a lot of money and made little money. It all relied on Feng Xiaogang's blood transfusions.

Now that Lin Xuan is here, he has surpassed Feng Xiaogang in terms of his ability to make money for Huayi.

The main reason is that he is very efficient in filming. Feng Xiaogang can only make one movie at most a year.

As for hit dramas like "The Storm", Lin Xuan can produce three or four dramas a year.

This does not include his income from commercial performances and endorsements.

On the other end of the phone, Wang Zhongjun praised Lin Xuan so much that he had goosebumps.

In the afternoon, he received a call from Xu Jinliang.

The ratings data from RTHK are also available.

Hong Kong City’s is 6.4 and Wanwan’s is 5.8, both are very good data.

"Wind and Cloud" was originally a Hong Kong comic and it has great influence in the local area. Many viewers are fans of this comic.

In 1998, the movie "The Storm" starring Aaron Kwok and Ekin Cheng earned HK$4150 million.

It defeated Cheng Long's "Who Am I" and Zhou Xingxing's "One Train" to win the annual box office championship in Hong Kong.

This shows the popularity of this comic.

As for Wanwan, Po Mo Xianren is originally owned by Wanwan, and this drama was launched with the support of China Television.

Ho Rundong and Jiang Zuping are from Wanwan, and Shui Ling developed in Wanwan, with five works listed on China Television Prime Time.

Therefore, Xu Jinliang had anticipated the popularity of this drama in the Wanwan market.

In addition, other overseas regions are also in contact with the producers and want to introduce this TV series.

There are more blossoms in the three places across the Taiwan Strait, and "The Storm" has given a good start to the film and television drama market in 02.

…………

"The Storm" became a hit in the ratings, and the news quickly spread to the crew, and everyone congratulated Lin Xuan one after another.

After watching the TV series, many people even became fans of the show and discussed the subsequent plot with Lin Xuan.

The success of "Wind and Cloud" gave the crew a shot in the arm. Everyone had more confidence in "Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" and became more motivated during filming.

The good reputation of the first two episodes continued to spread, and more and more people began to pay attention to this drama.

Nie Feng met Mingyue by chance in Wushuang City, but after Mingyue learned of his identity, she attacked him with a "Feng Wu Arrow".

Nie Feng was injured by an arrow in order to save her. Mingyue was moved and ashamed, so she hid him for treatment.

While getting along, the two people revealed their hearts and secretly developed feelings for each other.

When her grandmother found out about this, she wanted to kill Nie Feng, so Mingyue had no choice but to kill her and agreed to marry Dugu Ming.

On their wedding night, Nie Feng forced his way into the wedding room and fought with Dugu Ming.

Mingyue suddenly stabbed Dugu Ming, but was bumped into by Duan Lang when he was escaping, and Dugu Ming was stopped by Duan Lang.

The two kissed and fell in love at the Ming family's ancient tomb. However, Dugu Yifang arrived with a large number of his men, and the two of them were no match together.

At the critical moment, their true love activated the "Love in a Fallen City" and wiped out a large number of enemies like mowing grass.

In the end, Mingyue was thrown into the cliff, which inspired the "crazy blood" in Nie Feng's body, and easily killed Dugu Yifang.

【Hold the grass! I just fell in love with them, and Mingyue died directly? ]    【What a tragic ending, screenwriter, you should be a human being. 】

[This is Nie Feng’s first love! 】

[Who says you must die if you fall off a cliff? Nie Feng is still alive after watching the trailer. 】

[It makes sense. It is predicted that Mingyue is still alive and then lost her memory. 】

[Jiang Qingqing is so beautiful. Lin Xuan would have enjoyed filming a kissing scene with her. 】

[Duan Lang turned evil and actually killed Dugu Ming and put the blame on Nie Feng. 】

[I want you to be a lady during the day and a slut at night... This Dugu Ming made me laugh to death. 】

[Nie Feng's crazy blood is so cool. Even the heroes are in awe of the three-point master, but he kills him instantly with one move! 】

Such a good girl like Ming Yue died in just two episodes.

The audience was in pain after being stabbed once, but the second and third stabbings came quickly.

Xiong Ba captured Ni Bodhisattva and received his criticism for the rest of his life, so he tried to find a way to divide the situation.

He asked his daughter Youruo to assassinate Nie Feng. As a result, Youruo lacked love and was lonely since she was a child.

After getting along for a while, I was moved by Nie Feng's pig lung soup and prayer tablets, and fell hopelessly in love with him.

Xiongba's father and daughter were plotted against by their enemies, but their lives were spared. Youruo returned to the small house in the middle of the lake, but the knife finally escaped.

After a few days of instability, Xiongba started to cause trouble again.

He noticed the complex emotional connection between Kong Ci, Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng, so he deliberately betrothed Kong Ci to Qin Shuang.

Seeing that her lover was about to become a sister-in-law, Bu Jingyun couldn't bear it anymore.

That night, he broke into the wedding room and wanted to take Kong Ci away. Nie Feng noticed it in advance and stopped him, causing the brothers to fight.

In order to save Nie Feng, Kong Ci blocked Bu Jingyun's killing move and confessed to Nie Feng before he died. His body was taken away by Bu Jingyun.

Nie Feng accidentally killed another girl, and left the Tianxiahui in despair.

【Grandma You, another one died! 】

[Nie Feng is such a disaster. Women who like him will not end well. 】

[Youruo is so beautiful, who is this actor? 】

[Jiang Zuping, an actress from Wanwan! 】

【ah! I'm so jealous of Lin Xuan, he can be kissed by beautiful women in every scene! 】

[Feng Yun was tricked by this old silver coin Xiong Ba! 】

[Qin Shuang was the worst. The wife Ming Media was marrying gave her body to Bu Jingyun and her love to Nie Feng, and he died without even touching her! 】

…………

Early April.

"Wind and Cloud" has aired for more than ten episodes.

The exciting plot makes the audience want to stop, and the famous scenes in the play trigger heated discussions on the Internet.

The high degree of discussion also drove the ratings to rise steadily.

Both the leading actors and producers of "The Storm" can rest assured at this time.

The crew of "Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties".

Lin Xuan's scene has been filmed for more than half of the time, and at the current pace, it can be completed in half a month at most.

Those actors who don't have many roles have already finished filming and left the group.

Just like Qin Lan, she left a few days ago.

Without a good friend to talk to at night, Lin Xuan watched two episodes of "The Storm" before going to bed every night.

Wake up every day full of energy and put yourself into work at your best.

Women only affect how fast I can draw my sword.

But with his looks and status, there is no need to take the initiative to flirt with girls.

Wherever I go every day, a girl will come up to me.

In the past, Qin Lan stopped her with a stern face and no one dared to mess with her.

Now that Qin Lan has finished filming and left the production, the actresses on the production team's eyes gleamed when they looked at Lin Xuan.

The most enthusiastic among them is Wang Likun.

Her looks and figure are the best among the actresses in the cast.

Taking advantage of her appearance, she ignored others and took the initiative directly.

Regardless of whether she has a role that day, she will come to the set just to have more contact with Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan was not disgusted by the beautiful woman who ate, drank, and chatted with her every day, and who spoke in a gentle and pleasant tone.

Just like this, the relationship between the two improved rapidly.

"Ka! This is over, rest for ten minutes."

In the school grounds of the film and television city, Lin Xuan, wearing armor, dismounted from his horse and walked to the shade to rest.

Today we were filming a battlefield scene, with dozens of horses galloping around the school grounds, and the air was filled with dust.

After filming a scene, all the actors looked disgraced.

"boss."

The assistant handed over a wet towel and energy drink.

"There are plenty of drinks here, take them all and drink them."

Lin Xuan sat on a folding chair, wiped his face, and distributed the extra drinks to other actors.

"Thank you, Director Lin."

Everyone took the drinks and sat back down. Wang Likun naturally sat next to Lin Xuan, talking and laughing with him.

Huang Xiaoming felt very depressed when he saw this scene.

Ever since Qin Lan and Lin Xuan were together, he had given up completely and just thought that all the five hundred thousand were thrown into the water.

However, the life of the crew was boring and boring. Huang Xiaoming was young and strong and could not bear the loneliness, so he soon fell in love with Wang Likun.

It's not that I really like her, but I just want to find someone to relieve my boredom.

The two are lovers in the play and have many close rivalry scenes, which gives him excellent conditions for flirting with girls.

Huang Xiaoming began to chat with her frequently, often giving her gifts or inviting her to dinner.

Faced with these sugar-coated shells, Wang Likun chose to eat the sugar-coated shells and returned the shells to Huang Xiaoming.

It shouldn’t be, has my charm decreased?

Just when he was puzzled, Qin Lan decided to leave the group, and Wang Likun seized the opportunity to attack.

Everything is revealed.

It's Lin Xuan again!

After suffering two consecutive blows, Huang Xiaoming felt like crying but had no tears.

But he also understood a truth from these things.

All girls want the best!

At the same time, they all believe that they deserve the best.

Hey, if you are on the same set as Lin Xuan in the future, just be a monk.

…………

Boom boom boom!

The hotel door rang, and Lin Xuan got up to open the door.

Wang Likun stood outside the door nervously.

She was wearing a short skirt and high heels, and had delicate makeup on her face.

"Director Lin... you said your shoulders were a little sore during the day... I have learned massage... Do you want to help you..."

After a period of chatting and communicating, the relationship between the two improved quickly, and Wang Likun felt that the time was almost right.

Just when Lin Xuan said that his shoulders were sore, she hesitated for a long time and finally plucked up the courage to knock on the door!

Success or failure, it all depends on this!

"Okay, then I'll trouble you!"
