China Entertainment Times 1999

Chapter 78: The arrival of the millennium (please read it!)

Today is the last day of 1999.

The crew finished work very early and let everyone go out to play and celebrate the arrival of the new century.

Lin Xuan is no exception.

He made an appointment with Qian Yanqiu and several leading actors, and had a great time eating, drinking and singing.

When the time approached midnight, Lin Xuan took out his mobile phone to edit the text message.

He wondered if people in this era had the habit of sending blessing text messages to each other during holidays.

But he decided to give it a try and send a message to all the friends he knew in his address book.

Of course, blessing messages are sent in bulk.

He knew too many friends and had no time to wish them all.

After editing the text message, Lin Xuan raised his hand and looked at his watch, preparing to send it in time.

When the second hand of the watch reaches the 12 o'clock position.

Lin Xuan pressed the button on his mobile phone, and dozens of text messages were sent from Hengdian to all parts of the country.

"Brother, I'll sit next to you, so there's no need to send text messages."

Wang Baoqiang looked at his phone, somewhat confused about Lin Xuan's behavior.

"You're so stupid. Words and language are two completely different ways of expression, and the effects they produce are also different."

Lin Xuan educated him seriously.

"Oh, let me send a few messages too."

After waiting for a few minutes, I received replies to my sent text messages one after another.

Lin Xuan held his cell phone and checked one by one.

[Thank you for your blessings, and I wish you all the best in your career in the millennium! 】——Wang Jinhua
Sister Hua responded the fastest. It seems that she has been working without rest.

She has been working really hard recently and is busy working every day. Thanks to her hard work, the careers of all her actors have improved.

[Time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye we have known each other for almost a year! .........It is my greatest luck to meet you, and I will never regret that day! 】——Chen Hong

Chen Hong posted a long paragraph, but the last sentence was the key point.

I don’t regret it either!
Lin Xuan looked at the text message and said silently in his heart.

[Thank you, I wish your new drama will be a hit, and I wish we all will be famous next year! 】——Fan Xiaopang
She is indeed a career-oriented woman, and sending her blessings is inseparable from her work.

However, the character of being serious about his career is also the charm of Xiaopang.

[Send text messages to send blessings on New Year’s Eve!So romantic!When did you, this piece of wood, wake up? 】——Yan Danchen
The little girl really has never seen the world, and sending a text message is called romantic.

And... where is my wood?
[So many idioms, good literary talent, I will treat you to a drink when I return to Beijing. 】——Wu Jing

Drink, drink, know how to drink.

[I am very happy to receive your blessings... I also wish you a successful career in the new millennium and all the best! 】——Gao Yuanyuan
It was completely unexpected that he still kept in touch with Gao Yuanyuan.

Lin Xuan did delete her number at the beginning, but he forgot that Gao Yuanyuan still had his number.

In fact, Gao Yuanyuan sent him a text message the day after recording the song.

Lin Xuan ignored it. He didn't want to provoke a woman who had a boyfriend. Chen Hong's incident was purely accidental.

However, Gao Yuanyuan did not give up and still sent text messages to say hello every now and then.

Lin Xuan had been harassed by her for months, so he couldn't help but tell the truth.

Unexpectedly, Gao Yuanyuan said that she was not in a relationship with Zhang Yadong and was still single.

single!

Lin Xuan was a little confused now!
According to the ending calculation process, Zhang Yadong will divorce next year, and the two of them should be fighting fiercely now.

Could it be that he, this little butterfly, once again fanned the wings of fate?

After confirming that Gao Yuanyuan had no one, Lin Xuan became a little more enthusiastic, at least no longer resisting contacting her.

I reply to every text message and occasionally share anecdotes from the set.

Although the two have only met once, they currently have a good relationship, a bit like pen pals.

Lin Xuan has been in the industry for a year and has made many friends.

Dozens of text messages were sent one after another, and it took a long time just to read them all.

…………

On the third day after the new millennium, Lin Xuan finished filming his last scene in Hengdian.

The crew held a closing banquet and dismissed most of the staff.

Then I packed up my things, packed lightly, and rushed to Taihu Lake and other places non-stop to start shooting additional exterior shots.

Lin Xuan followed the crew for several days, and it was not until early January that he officially returned to the capital.

After a day of rest in the small apartment, I received a bank text message on my phone, saying that the crew's pay had arrived.

Lin Xuan regained his energy, moved his mind slightly, and opened the system panel.

[Host: Lin Xuan]

[Occupation: Actor]

[Level [-] permission: Film and television course library (open) click to enter]

[Second level authority: Film and television script library (open) click to enter]

[Level [-] authority: (not turned on)]

【Current points: 221605】

[Accumulated points: 271605/100000]

…………

The drama "Detective Di Renjie" is an important milestone in Lin Xuan's career as an actor.

The salary alone is as high as 30 yuan, plus 5 yuan in screenwriting fees.

After deducting the company's 50% share, he also has an income of 10,000+, which is definitely a high-income group.

System points also skyrocketed, exceeding the 20 mark.

The only pity is that Lin Xuan's identity in the system is that of an actor.

Therefore, only remuneration for performances can be counted as points, not income from screenwriters.

However, he boldly guessed that the third or fourth level permissions of the system would open up new system identities.Because the second-level authority of the system is given to the "Film and Television Script Library", this is obviously in the direction of film and television drama production.

The second is the issue of accumulating points.

Upgrading to the fourth level of authority requires tens of millions of points, and the fifth level of authority requires [-] million points.

These numbers are horrific.

If you rely solely on the income of actors, you will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to upgrade.

But these are all things for later. Now Lin Xuan has a huge amount of points and feels his pocket is bulging, and his temporarily extinguished dream of directing is gradually rekindled.

He clicked into the "Film and Television Script Library" to find a suitable script and set the price of the script at 20.

He can't afford scripts priced above this price, and scripts priced below this price are not worth buying at all.

Low-priced scripts are garbage, with cliched plots, confusing logic, and contradictory characters...

Selling for [-] does not mean they are worth that much, but the minimum limit of the script library is [-] points.

Lin Xuan even discovered several bad works that would become famous in the future.

Their only use is to serve as negative material to enrich the script library.

However, a script priced at 20 yuan is not that great.

Finding the right script at this price point requires a lot of time and energy to sift through.

Fortunately, Lin Xuan was not in a hurry and looked for it slowly if he couldn't find it.

…………

After staying at home for a few days, Lin Xuan received a call from Fan Xiaotian and learned good news.

"Spring is Back" is now on the air, and it is also premiering on two local TV stations at the same time during prime time.

As a mythological drama, this is a good place to start.

Lin Xuan couldn't help but admire Fan Xiaotian.

As a producer, his abilities are outstanding.

After all, TV series are produced to be sold.

No matter how good your photos are, if you can't sell them or get a high price, everything will be in vain.

On the night when the TV series was aired, Lin Xuan pulled Wang Baoqiang to watch in front of the TV on time.

He doesn't have many roles in this drama, and his role is still an unlikable villain. Lin Xuan doesn't expect to become more popular with his role.

Fan's theme song and ending song have the potential to become a hit.

This is his first time singing a TV series OST, and he is still a little excited and looking forward to it.

It's eight o'clock sharp!
Accompanied by brisk music, a pig's head appeared on the TV.

"here we go!"

Lin Xuan muttered, and then heard his deep and magnetic voice.

"Good spring, it's better to have a dream, the grass is fragrant in the dream..."

Lin Xuan hummed along with the rhythm. When the song finished, he turned around and asked, "How was it? Does it sound good?"

What he asked was nonsense. What could Wang Baoqiang say? It must be nice.

After getting the affirmative answer, Lin Xuan happily took out his mobile phone and sent congratulatory messages to Xu Zheng and Xiao Taohong.

He is very aware of the popularity of this drama. From today on, Xu Zheng is considered to be very popular.

Xu Zheng was also watching TV at home at this time, and he was worried about the ratings.

He felt a little relieved after receiving a congratulatory text message from Lin Xuan, and the two took advantage of the situation and exchanged business blows.

The next day, Lin Xuan received a text message from Fan Xiaotian with good news.

The average viewership rating of the premiere of "Springs of Love" reached 5%, which is a very good result.

This drama breaks the traditional thinking that Zhu Bajie is lazy, ugly and fat, and creates a cute, silly and infatuated image of Zhu Bajie.

All changes are always accompanied by risks and opportunities. Fan Xiaotian was originally worried that the audience would not be able to accept it.

But so far, the audience still likes these changes.

After the TV series became a hit in the first broadcast, the ratings continued to rise in the following days.

By the time Lin Xuan and Chen Hong appeared, the average ratings were approaching 10%, and the ratings in some areas exceeded 20%.

There is no doubt that this show is really popular!

Xu Zheng's Zhu Bajie broke tradition and was loved by countless audiences.

As a result, he rose to the top and became one of the most sought-after actors in the current market. His legs became weak even after commercial performances.

The second person to get a bonus after Xu Zheng was not Xiao Taohong, but Lin Xuan, the singer of the TV series theme song.

There are many reasons why this drama is popular, but two extremely high-quality songs are definitely the top priority.

In recent days, these two songs have almost monopolized the song-demand programs on radio stations across the country.

As a singer, Lin Xuan once again aroused widespread discussion after a few months.

Many viewers were surprised to find that he is not only handsome, good at acting, and can fight, but he can also sing so beautifully.

As a result, Lin Xuan was labeled as versatile.

Talented people, no matter what era, are very popular. Lin Xuan has gained a lot of music fans recently.

Lin Xuan is becoming more and more popular, and the happiest thing is his group of old fans, Yang Xiaomi is one of them.

These days, she has been singing songs to her classmate Anli Lin Xuan like crazy, and is also planning to sing on stage during the final performance.

Lin Xuan's popularity is rising again, and commercial performances are coming one after another.

But this time he finally didn’t have to dress up in period costumes to perform sword skills on stage.

Just go on stage and sing a song.

These businesses have a very keen sense of smell. Now that the TV series is so popular, inviting the original singer to sing will definitely attract countless viewers and fans to the scene.

Stronger merchants even invited Chen Lin.

Lin Xuan finished singing "Good Spring" first, and then the two sang "Curling Eyelashes for Hope".
