Chapter 93 "Da Ming Palace Ci" starts airing!Stunning male favorite! (Please subscribe!)

"Journey to the West" starring Lin Xuan also has very high ratings, but people in the industry believe it after careful and rigorous analysis.

The reason why this drama is so popular is mainly due to the popularity of "Journey to the West".

Coupled with the impact of Lin Xuan's beating incident, this drama reached a height that did not belong to him.

After that, many producers launched spin-off stories of "Journey to the West", hoping to continue to create miracles.

The results were all terrible.

But "Da Ming Gong Ci" doesn't have the above-mentioned favorable conditions?

Apart from the obscure, Shakespearean lines, and the screen-full of underworld filters and soundtrack, what else does this show have?
You can't open your eyes and tell lies, saying that it is Chen Hong's beauty that supports this drama.

The popularity of "Daming Palace Ci" made people in the entire film and television industry begin to re-examine Lin Xuan.

What does it mean to be an actor who can support the ratings of a TV series?
The answer is self-evident.

At the same time, the media also began to follow the trend in reporting, and in order to increase the popularity, the headlines became more exaggerated than the last.

Some media even selected the "Four Mainland Mainland Students" - Lin Xuan, Huang Lei, Lu Yi, and Li Yapeng.

For a time, the discussion about whether these four people were worthy of the title of "Four Big Students" gradually became intense.

Huang Lei debuted in 90, making his debut the earliest among the four.

He has appeared in many popular movies and TV shows, including the representative works "Walking and Singing", "Midnight Song", and "April in the World".

Li Yapeng debuted in 92 and has acted in many TV series.

But what really made him popular was the youth idol drama "Love to the End" with Xu Cainv.

Lu Yi started acting at a very young age, studied Peking Opera and martial arts, and performed in hundreds of stage plays.

After being admitted to the theater, he studied hard and rarely took on roles until last year's Hai Yan drama "Never Close Eyes" became an overnight sensation.

As the only one born in the [-]s among the four, Lin Xuan seems out of place in this list.

He debuted the latest and only officially started acting last year, but he became famous faster than a rocket.

After the list was announced, the four of them were attacked by fans of other celebrities.

They scolded Huang Lei for being too old, scolded Li Yapeng for being a softie, scolded Lu Yi for only being popular in one drama, and scolded Lin Xuan for being too young and not worthy of being on the list.

Lin Xuan's fans agreed with this.

Our brother is only 20 years old, why should he be on the same list as you old guys? He should be given a separate award.

This wave of AOE output damage was full, which completely angered all the fans, and they began to attack Lin Xuan crazily.

Fortunately, Lin Xuan's fans have a numerical advantage and can still hold their position even if they are attacked by everyone.

…………

The fans' war and the disturbance outside the window have nothing to do with him.

Lin Xuan rested at Yan Danchen's place for two days, living every day with clothes in hand and food in hand and mouth open.

He lived a comfortable life as a child, but Wang Jinhua was anxious.

Since "Journey to the West" became popular, he has received many commercial invitations.

However, Lin Xuan wanted to make a movie, so she could only decline all the financial sponsors with tears in her eyes.

After he finished filming the movie, he was asked to do post-production and find a soundtrack. Wang Jinhua gave him another ten days of leave.

Ten days later, Lin Xuan said that he was too busy during this period and his body could not bear it, so he needed to rest for a few days.

Wang Jinhua was so anxious that she almost ran away. You thought she just pushed away a few pieces of A4 paper, but all you pushed away was money.

But Lin Xuan wasn't feeling well, so what else could she do, she could only give him a day off to rest.

Unexpectedly, after the broadcast of "Da Ming Gong Ci", his character Zhang Changzong became more popular than the leading male lead.

Especially the "wet photo" with her clothes open and half lying in the pool became a viral hit on the Internet and was retweeted like crazy.

Wang Jinhua seized the opportunity, contacted the poster printing factory, printed 10,000+ posters and photo cards in one go, and sent them to distribution points across the country.

After finishing these things, she remembered that Lin Xuan had rested for three days.

She didn't care whether Lin Xuan had rested enough or not, she made several phone calls urging him to come to the company.

The popularity of "Ci of the Ming Dynasty" has made Lin Xuan's title of "Ancient Costume God" more stable.

Now when he goes to commercial performances, if he just sings, he can only get 5 yuan per performance.

But if you put on costumes and perform a talent show, the price will double.

Starting from 10 yuan!

If there are many people invited at the same time, the number can rise to around 15.

The price of this commercial performance belongs to the first echelon in mainland China.

Except for those veteran Hong Kong and Taiwan superstars, few people can afford this price.

This is just the price for normal commercial performances, if the merchant has special needs.

Such as attending private dinners, weddings and other events.

Lin Xuan's appearance price directly jumped to 50 yuan.

Although wearing a costume to perform is a bit like a conspicuous bag, but faced with the sky-high prices for commercial performances, Lin Xuan still honestly chooses to pay more.

Since mid-April, Lin Xuan has been doing business performances every day.

At least two games a day, sometimes three or four games a day.

Of course, such a large number of invitations is also related to the fact that he stopped accepting commercial roles for several months as soon as he joined the group for filming.

The flowers that the merchant has been waiting for have faded, so why not invite him like crazy?

Lin Xuan doesn't care about this either. His main job is to be an actor. He can make some extra money by acting in commercials, but it can't affect his filming.

In mid-to-late April, the premiere of "Daming Palace Ci" ended.

The average ratings were 8.56 and the highest rating was 13.83.

The big gap between the two data is mainly because of Lin Xuan.

In the few episodes in which Zhang Changzong appeared, his fans flocked in like crazy and the ratings were very high.

The half-naked bathing scene even achieved the highest ratings of 13.83 in the entire drama.

After he finished filming, the ratings began to plummet, even falling to half of their peak.

This made Li Shaohong very depressed. The protagonists of "Daming Palace Ci" were obviously Chen Hong, Gui Yalei, and Zhao Wenxuan, but Lin Xuan was the most popular in the whole drama.

Overall, the show was still a success.Although Li Shaohong was chased by the media for tampering with history, he couldn't stop the people from watching it.

They don't care about the relationship between Princess Taiping and Li Longji in history, they just know that it is exciting to have an aunt-nephew relationship.

…………

At the end of April, Lin Xuan ended his trip.

In half a month, he ran nearly forty commercial performances.

After deducting half of the money given to the company and personal income tax, his net income is as high as 120 million.

This money can buy a courtyard house in Beijing.

During this period, he also received many endorsement invitations, and Wang Jinhua selected a few good ones to show him.

Although Lin Xuan is very popular recently, the character he plays is either a monkey or a male favorite.

In the eyes of the brand, he is not a high-quality spokesperson.

Several offers ranged from 80 to 120 million per year, which were not worthy of his current popularity.

Lin Xuan glanced briefly and stopped looking.

"We will not accept any endorsements for the time being. We will wait until "Detective Detective Dee" starts airing and "Adult Style of Love" is released."

Wang Jinhua also agreed with his idea.

Endorsements are not commercial performances, and a normal signing lasts for two or three years. With Lin Xuan's popularity soaring, signing at this time would be too much of a loss.

"By the way, Zhang Jizhong wants to invite you to star in "Swordsman". This is the invitation notice. Please take a look."

""Swordsman"!"

Lin Xuan received the notice and found that the role invited to play was actually Linghu Chong.

Seeing his confused look, Wang Jinhua explained: "Originally, the person who played Linghu Chong was Shao Bin, but he had a conflict with Zhang Jizhong.

Lao Zhang would rather lose millions to replace him. You just happened to be popular recently, so he sent you an invitation letter. "

I know this, but Li Yapeng shouldn't be the substitute.

It is said that because his daughter liked Li Yapeng, she recommended him to Lao Zhang.

Could it be that Lao Zhang’s daughter has moved on and fallen in love with me?

Wang Jinhua continued: "The salary is 80 per episode, and the total salary is [-], which is in line with your status. I think it's pretty good, what do you think?"

Lin Xuan looked at the notice again and asked: "80, how many months will the contract be signed?"

"Four months!"

"no!"

Lin Xuan decisively refused: "My movie will be released in August, and I will definitely go on a show to promote it.

I can only sign a contract for three months to focus on filming. If Zhang agrees, I will act. If he doesn't agree, forget it. "

Wang Jinhua almost forgot that he still had a movie to be released.

I thought that Lin Xuan was really capable and could actually persuade Han Sanping to help with the distribution.

"Okay, that's how I'll reply to Zhang Jizhong."

…………

Lao Zhang struggled for two days, and finally agreed to Lin Xuan's request to focus on filming and finish it within three months.

He made up his mind so quickly because the crew had already started filming and was consuming a lot of money every day. He really couldn't afford to wait.

Another reason is more metaphysical.

The reason is that a boring Hong Kong media counted all the TV series Lin Xuan has filmed since his debut.

Then it was strange to discover that the ratings of these dramas, whether he was starring or guest-starring, were very high.

Song Bingyi in "Huan Zhu Princess 2".

Zhang Changzong in "Ci of Daming Palace".

Jing Wuming in "Xiao Li Flying Knife".

Jiang Feng in "The Two Prides".

Wu Gang in "Spring Scenes of Zhu Bajie".

Sun Wukong in "Journey to the West".

……

This article sparked a lot of discussion in Hong Kong circles, and most people were envious and jealous of Lin Xuan's bad luck.

The article quickly spread to the mainland, but industry insiders on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places were unable to explain this strange phenomenon.

We can only blame everything on Lin Xuan's amazing luck.

This is considered a remnant of feudalism in other industries.

But in the entertainment industry, what they believe most in is the metaphysics of fate, especially people from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

So many directors sent invitation letters to Lin Xuan, hoping to borrow his luck.

These people are very willing to spend money, and all of them ask for high prices.

The best one was a Xianggang director who asked him to come to the crew to play a supporting role and offered him 150 million a day.

Lin Xuan was stunned when he heard the news.

Why the hell are you asking him to act in a play? You are asking him to consecrate the crew.

Faced with these temptations, Lin Xuan remained unmoved.

It's not that he is arrogant, but that he wants to seek greater benefits.

Lin Xuan knew very well that every drama he starred in became popular solely because of the high quality of the drama.

Only he himself knows about this matter. Since everyone in the industry believes in this metaphysics, of course he must maintain his undefeated reputation as "a must-see".

As long as the golden body is still there, he can rely on this halo to obtain more benefits.

For example, let Wang Jinhua release the news that he is in contact with other crew members.

Zhang Jizhong was so frightened that he immediately agreed to the three-month contract.
