MTL - This Star is Legal But Sick

Chapter 477 Never expected the offline competition

The official Weibo account of Wan Wan Wan Fang immediately announced on Weibo the news that "Wan Wan Wan Fang" had passed the review.

 It's just that everyone was a little confused after seeing the information about "Wonderful Unexpectedly".

This is actually a web drama?

The drama in which Xu Ye himself stars is actually just an online drama.

These days, although online dramas have been well-known and accepted by the public, in the entertainment industry, online dramas are still at the lower end of the contempt chain.

With Xu Ye's identity, it is not a problem to act in a TV series that can be broadcast on TV. Even if he plays the leading role, there will be countless capital to pay him to act.

  After all, as long as Xu Ye stars, this drama will definitely make money.

 But online dramas are different. They are only broadcast on online platforms, and the audience is smaller.

　　If you star in a web drama, you will basically miss out on major awards.

 Among the major awards, there are special awards for online dramas, but compared with the number of awards for traditional TV dramas, there are only a few online dramas.

 This is also the path that many celebrities will take.

Major film and television companies have also speculated.

 Comparing the quality of this work with his previous two dramas, the quality is too poor.

 Do you think the drama he stars in will be a star-studded drama?

“Now I don’t even dare to star, which shows that Xu Ye has no confidence in his drama!”

Jade Bird Entertainment also has two online dramas to be broadcast this year. Both dramas are in the urban love genre, and the production costs are not high. The actors participating in the dramas are several newcomers.

During the month when Xu Ye released his album, Song Zhengqi could not move forward with any other business except keeping company with his secretary Hongchen every day.

 When things go wrong, there must be a monster, and finally everyone came to a unified view.

“I’ve checked everything, and I never expected that not a single actor in the crew has a professional background. It can be said that the crew is all amateurs.”

Who would have thought that one of the four major entertainment companies in the industry would still have the position of music director vacant.

 As a result, he is now telling you that this is actually a web drama.

Without the blessing of the two works "Wulin Gaiden" and "Crazy", it would be reasonable for Xu Ye to star in an online drama.

 It’s just that Xu Ye’s opponents in the entertainment industry don’t think so.

Originally, we had made an appointment with a well-known music producer in the industry to come over for a chat. However, after the release of "Qili Xiang", the music producer suddenly fell ill and needed to rest and was unable to come to work.

 That is because the final film of this drama was really too bad, so bad that it could not win stars at all.

He had waited too long to wait for Xu Ye to overturn.

The patients at Huohua Hospital just feel that something is not right here.

If someone like Xu Ye really wants to be a star, some TV stations will not refuse him just because of the traffic he carries.

“The first drama in which Xu Ye took a leading role was actually an online drama. Isn’t he still not confident in his acting skills?”

 He does not use other people's back door, nor does he let others use his back door.

 But you’re already here, you shouldn’t be.

Song Zhengqi could only hold back the anger in his heart and vent it all on his secretary.

However, this is not absolute, and films that are obviously bad dramas can also be promoted through the back door.

“Patients, something is wrong. From the beginning of the preparation of this drama to now, I feel something is wrong.”

If a drama wants to be screened on a TV station, the TV station’s film purchasing department will also review the content of the film, and it is impossible for all TV stations to show all dramas.

“Perhaps this drama is simply a love drama Xu Ye made for him and Xiao Xu. As for the plot, it must be shoddy.”

 Fortunately, Xu Ye's album has finally been released.

But everyone in the entertainment industry knows that although Xu Ye is shameless, he is still quite serious about his work.

Xu Ye chose not to be a star, it can only be because he has no confidence in this work.

　　It is not common sense to act in an online drama.

 The popularity of the entertainment industry is almost monopolized by Xu Ye.

After coming to this conclusion, Mr. Song Zhengqi of Jade Bird Entertainment felt that he was energetic again.

 “The dean is confused, the movie he starred in for half a day is a web drama!”

 Xu Ye and Xu Nanjia both starred in the play. Isn’t this attractive enough?

 Since Xu Ye played a web drama card, he also played a web drama card.

Then Jade Bird Entertainment is even less able to recruit a music director.

 But this is already a basic operation for Xu Ye.

“What is the future of making online dramas? How popular can your online drama be?”

 After seeing the news about "Wonderful Unexpectedly", Song Zhengqi made a decision.

Xu Ye has never played his cards according to the routine.

“We still don’t know what the story of this drama is, and we can’t understand the synopsis of the story. The patients who came to the scene as guest stars didn’t speak, as if they were autistic.”

 Although he is a new actor, with the support of various exposures, he has already gained traffic.

Song Zhengqi originally planned to release these two dramas before the end of the year, just in time for one of them to be released at the same time as Xu Ye's online drama.

"Our drama uses all new actors, the audience's expectations are not too high, and the quality of the drama is okay. As long as it is broadcast, the audience will basically praise it. Xu Ye is different, everyone has expectations for him It's too high, and if the quality of the online drama drops, it will be criticized." Song Zhengqi thought in his heart.

 At that time, their dramas will definitely be compared by everyone, and they will be able to gain Xu Ye's popularity.

However, Song Zhengqi misjudged one thing.

 Is it possible that this drama is not suitable for stardom, rather than because it cannot be one?

Many people in the industry have rigid thinking. In their view, the drama starring Xu Ye must be a star. If it is not a star, it must be of poor quality.

 In fact, in Xu Ye's view, it doesn't matter whether it is a star or not. If a drama is suitable, it will be a star. If it is not, it will not be a star.

What's more, now that we have entered the Internet era, the influence of TV stations will only decline year by year, and there is absolutely no possibility of growth.

 "Wan Wan Wan Fang" is a drama that is very suitable for the Chinese Internet.

As the news that "Wan Wan Wan Fang" passed review began to ferment, Wan Wan Wan didn't expect that the official Weibo account had also determined the final broadcast time with Penguin Video.

The broadcast time of online dramas is relatively free, but due to the proximity of the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival, the final broadcast time was set for October 6th.

 This year's Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day are celebrated together, with a total of eight days of holiday. October 6 is a Friday, the third to last day of the holiday.

It's just that the broadcast schedule of "Want to Expect" is a bit inappropriate, because it only updates three episodes a week, one episode each on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Compared to the fact that "Wan Wan Wan Fang" on Earth only updates one episode per week, three episodes per week is already very conscientious.

 It’s not that Xu Ye doesn’t want to update quickly, but because this drama is too short.

If it were to be as updated as other TV series, the effect would be greatly reduced.

Penguin Video would not agree either.

Lu Yuan, the vice president of Penguin Video, initially thought that "Never Expected" was just a TV series broadcast on an online video platform, but he found out after he was roped into the crew to make a guest appearance.

“This play is too short, so we can only satisfy the audience three times a week. In this way, the audience will always think about you and ignore the shortness of the play.”

Lu Yuan made the arrangement like this.

He is also curious about how much impact such a special drama can have on the Internet.

 At this time, in the office, Lu Yuan was handling work.

 His assistant knocked on the door and walked in.

 The assistant holds a folder in his hand.

The assistant placed the folder on Lu Yuan's desk and said, "Mr. Lu, this is a publicity plan that we never expected to be provided by the publicity team. We need our cooperation."

Lu Yuan nodded and asked, "Did you read it? How was it?"

The expression on the assistant's face was a little unnatural, and he said: "I can't say, you'd better take a look for yourself."

Lu Yuan had a look of confusion on his face. His assistant's professional ability was beyond words, and he was very easy to use.

He can’t tell. Is there something else he doesn’t understand about the plan?

“It seems that it’s time for me to take action. I still need to say a few words.”

Lu Yuan reached out and took the folder, opened it and started reading.

 The publicity work of a drama is very important, including pre-heating publicity, broadcast publicity, and final finishing publicity.

 There is already a standard process in the industry.

 The plan in his hand is about preliminary publicity.

 These tasks were never expected to be done by the publicity team and Penguin Video together.

From Lu Yuan's point of view, it is nothing more than hot-spot marketing on major online platforms. Putting Xu Ye's name on the hot searches for a few days.

As for Penguin Video, a big poster is directly promoted in the software. If that doesn't work, you can also send text messages to users.

These can basically guarantee the coverage of most users.

 But when he saw the contents of the publicity plan, everyone was stunned.

 “Never thought about a competition? Offline activities?”

 Lu Yuan looked at the activity introduction below.

As a result, he was stunned in the first game.

 “Eating melon seeds but not eating them? This is **** sick, what kind of competition is this!”

Lu Yuan can hardly imagine how strong the mental state of people who eat melon seeds but do not eat them is.

 You have to hold back and not eat during the competition.

This event is an offline publicity event that we never expected.

Xu Ye is planning to do something different for this publicity event. What’s the point of just playing online? It’s time to do some offline activities. If you want to have fun, everyone has to have fun together.

These offline activities can also allow the actors in the "Unexpectedly" crew to come out and get to know the audience.

Xu Ye has great uses for these actors.

As soon as Lu Yuan saw this offline activity, he knew it must be Xu Ye.

No one except Xu Ye could plan such an outrageous event.

But if you think about it carefully, he is not the one participating in the event, he is just watching the fun.

“It seems quite refreshing to see a group of people eating melon seeds, but they can’t eat melon seeds.”

 Lu Yuan thought happily in his heart, and he continued to look down. What he didn't expect was that there were quite a lot of types of competitions, each one more outrageous than the last.

The lying down and no moving competition requires contestants to lie on a yoga mat and cannot move their body, turn over, or move their buttocks.

Another outrageous one is the laughter-suppression contest, where the audience is shown funny videos, but the contestants are required not to laugh.

This is a bit too much, who can bear it, and laughter is contagious.

 Whenever one person starts laughing during the competition, it is guaranteed that a large number of people will be eliminated.

 After roughly scanning the plan, Lu Yuan had the same idea as his assistant.

 It’s hard to say.

This kind of offline activity has never been done before, and I have never seen anyone else do it.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan picked up his cell phone and called Xu Ye.

After the call was connected, Lu Yuan asked: "Xu Ye, how many viewers do you think this offline event can bring?"

Xu Ye asked, "Is this important?"

Lu Yuan was stunned when he heard this.

Xu Ye continued: "While everyone was happy, they remembered that five words were enough."

Hearing this, Lu Yuan immediately understood the key here.

 Xu Ye didn’t expect this offline event to directly bring in many viewers. What he wanted was potential viewers.

“Okay, let’s go according to your activity plan.” Lu Yuandao.

Lu Yuan reacted after hanging up the phone.

He suddenly realized that he couldn't see through Xu Ye.

 Because Xu Ye just said that everyone is happy, rather than putting the never-expected publicity at the forefront.

“He does these activities just for fun, right?” Lu Yuan had a bold idea in his mind.

 Xu Ye, that is a real Tuyile master.

He did many things for no other reason than to have fun.

 After the event plan was finalized, the publicity team started working immediately.

The next day Wan Wan Wan Fang unexpectedly released the theme song "Wan Wan Wan Fang" on its official WeChat account. The name of this theme song is Wan Wan Wan Fang unexpectedly.

This is a song that is familiar to many netizens around the world. Even if some people have never watched "Want to Expect", they have heard the melody of the chorus of this song in many places.

As soon as the theme song was released, Han Ran, the captain of the security team of Huohua Academy, clicked on Weibo. As someone who had made a cameo in an unexpected scene, Han Ran should pay more attention to this drama.

 She still hasn’t figured out what this show is about.

  In short, just the part of the plot she participated in was outrageous enough.

Yesterday, he never expected that after the broadcast time was announced, Han Ran felt secretly happy when looking at the various discussions on the Internet.

 Because all the guesses on the Internet are wrong, it feels so good to know that no one else knows, but she knows.

"Anyway, this drama is definitely not a serious drama. If it were a serious drama, how could the dean not be a star?"

Han Ran thought to himself as he opened the video of the theme song.

After the video started to play, the first thing that caught my eye were the five big words "Want to Expect" and the song information of this song.

 The lyrics, composition and arrangement are all written by Xu Ye, while the singers are Xu Ye and Zhou Dachen.

What's interesting is that I never expected that there are five characters "Wang Dachui Legend" above the five characters, and there is a picture behind it. In this picture, Xu Ye is wearing a yellow wig, and there are two horns on his head. Kind of like a monster.

This image is indeed an image of Wang Dachui in the play.

Han Ran realized this immediately based on her experience in the crew.

 “This drama is really a mixture of various painting styles.”

 At this time, the prelude of the song sounded, and the overall melody was very cheerful.

 Then, the scenes from the feature film also appeared on the screen.

With his hair tied back tightly and his forehead exposed, Wang Dachui, unshaven and wearing ancient clothes, stared at the sword in his hand in astonishment.

 Xu Ye's image cannot be said to be bad, it can only be said to be too bad. Compared with his handsomeness in reality, it is completely subverted.

 Han Ran doesn’t look handsome at all from this image.

But Han Ran, who had seen Xu Ye's other weird appearance, was already used to it.

 When this image appeared in her eyes, she felt a sense of relief.

If Xu Ye really becomes handsome in this drama, something big will happen.

 Subsequently, various images of Xu Ye in the play appeared in the video one after another.

 Some of them are ancient costumes, and some are modern costumes.

 In the end, all the pictures turned into Wang Dachui’s paralyzed face with eyes blank.

 A list of paralyzed faces flashed by, and Han Ran was dumbfounded.

“How many roles did Wang Dachui play in this play?”

 At this moment, the singing sounded.

“The pressure of life makes me forget who I am. I want to be a hero but I am still the unlucky Wang Dachui~”

This section is still more of a rap style.

The video also shows the appearance of Wang Dachui in the episode when Han Ran made a guest appearance.

Wang Dachui has only his thumbs in his pockets with both hands, and his walking posture is swaying from side to side in front of the audience.

 Then, the scene switched to Zhou Dachen in the recording studio.

 Zhou Dachen's singing sounded.

 “The way of this world makes you helpless, and you don’t know whether it is good or bad~”

 “The changes are too fast, and I am afraid that I will miss this era~”

Although Zhou Dachen’s singing skills are not very good, fortunately, this song does not require high singing skills.

 It is enough to be mindful.

 The lyrics are very simple, but they have a layer of connotation in them.

At this time, the scene changed, and a scene of a man walking on the road holding a woman's arm appeared.

　　It’s just that this woman’s head has a picture of Xiao Xu on it.

 “Hahaha! What the **** is this!”

Xiao Xu’s avatar looks silly, but it’s so magical.

Xu Ye’s singing also sounded.

 “Looking around, looking around, there is so much confusion~”

 “I think of, I think of, running under the sunset~”

Zhou Dachen followed closely and sang one of his classic lines in the play.

 “That’s you, that’s you, the lost youth~”

　　When this lyric is sung, the song enters the chorus.

　　The song sounded, and the scene in the video reached its climax.

 “I never expected that my integrity is gone~”

 “I never expected that the world is so amazing~”

 “I never expected that Yoyo Chek would make trouble~”

 “I never expected it, la la la la la~”

 In the video, famous funny scenes from the play also appeared.

The melody of the chorus is so simple that you can basically listen to it once.

Han Ran only felt that these lyrics were too brainwashing.

It’s just that she doesn’t have too deep feelings at this time, so this song must be better matched with the main film.

 When the video reaches the end, the song ends, the video screen goes black, and a line of words appears on it.

“Never expected that offline competitions will be held in Anseong, Beijing, Magic City, Hangzhou, etc. For details, please click the button on the picture to view.”

 At the end of this paragraph, there is indeed a picture of a button.

Han Ran pressed it subconsciously, and then the video paused.

 For a moment, Han Ran felt that her mind had been insulted.

 This is a video. If you put a button in the video, it won’t respond even if you click it!

are you crazy!
