MTL - This Star is Legal But Sick-Chapter 337 Wulin Gaiden is on the air!
Chapter 337 Wulin Gaiden is broadcast!
It is worth mentioning that the launch time of "Wulin Gaiden" is indeed within a few days of "The Legend of Xianyun".
These two dramas are on the same schedule.
People in the industry admire Xu Ye's courage.
Obviously, this time Xu Ye took the initiative and wanted to compete with Jade Bird Entertainment.
Since "Wulin Gaiden" starts airing before "Xian Yun Zhuan", many people in the industry are focusing on "Wulin Gaiden" tonight.
Tonight, music critic Jing Xiyue is sitting on the sofa in the living room at home.
Jing Xiyue went home because she was called by her parents for another blind date.
Since she was in a hurry to get home, she didn't bring her tablet. Thinking that "Wulin Gaiden" would be broadcast tonight, she simply watched it on the TV at home.
The TV broadcast rights of "Wulin Gaiden" were sold to Changan Satellite TV, an old acquaintance.
This Changan Satellite TV is the channel of Ancheng TV. It ranks among the top ten in the country, neither high nor low.
After all, the top few in the TV station are all very strong, they are all in the top ten, and the gap between them and the top three is also very big.
Changan Satellite TV relies on its profound cultural heritage and has a stable audience, but other than that, it does not have any flagship programs.
It was only last year that the program "Tomorrow's Superstars" became a big hit.
Jing Xiyue searched for TV channels and found Changan TV, which she had never watched before.
Her mother placed a plate of fruit on the coffee table and said, "How was the blind date today?"
“That’s it.” Jing Xiyue said casually.
“You are not young anymore…”
As soon as he heard his mother start nagging again, Jing Xiyue said quickly: "Mom, please stop talking, I have to work."
“Aren’t you a music critic? Watching TV is considered work?” my mother asked unhappily.
Jing Xiyue quibbled: "I can also change my career to be a film critic. These days, self-media can't do anything. Okay, okay, stop talking and concentrate on watching TV."
Jing Xiyue's mother also sat on the sofa, and the mother and daughter simply started watching together.
Soon, when the last commercial ended, Wulin Gaiden started broadcasting.
The screen was completely black at first, then a typing cursor appeared, and text appeared on the screen one by one.
“Long time no see, where have you been?”
“Jianghu.”
“Where is Jianghu?”
“I’ll show you…”
Looking at this line of text and listening to the familiar sound of music, Jing Xiyue finally matched the picture with the music.
The opening song started.
Then the screen turned again and came to a computer interface from a long time ago.
There are icons on the desktop with names such as "Producer, Director" and so on.
“This way of introduction is a bit interesting.” Jing Xiyue thought to herself.
These days, many cast and crew lists appear directly in the title sequence without any design. This is quite creative.
After that, click the icon with the mouse, and an introduction to the crew will appear, as well as the characters in the play.
As the characters in the play appeared one after another, the singing also started.
"Hey, brother…"
Jing Xiyue said proudly: "I guessed it right!"
When the opening theme of "Wulin Gaiden" was released, she had guessed that the ding-dong sound in it was the computer prompt sound, and now it turned out to be true.
Just looking at the title, Jing Xiyue felt that this drama seemed different from what she expected.
There is also a picture in the middle, Wu Tai'an has a bald head, a suit and sunglasses.
"Ah? Isn't this a costume drama? Why are there modern clothes? Could it be time travel?" Jing Xiyue thought to herself.
But she was right. There are many plots in this drama, and one of them is about Mo Xiaobei traveling to a modern film and television city.
After the opening credits were played, a chapter number actually appeared.
【In the first episode, Lady Guo angrily smashed up Tongfu's store, and shopkeeper Tong made some clever tricks to get people lost. 】
Jing Xiyue thinks this is quite interesting and very ancient.
The scene came to the entrance of Tongfu Inn.
At the beginning, Xing Yusen and Xing Baotou walked out of the door of Tongfu Inn. Tong Xiangyu pulled Lao Xing and refused to let him go.
Through the dialogue between the two, the characters of the male and female evil spirits and the background of the Seven Heroes Town were brought out.
Jing Xiyue feels that the quality of the entire TV series is very good.
It doesn’t feel shoddy at all, it’s very refined.
Especially Tong Xiangyu’s Guanzhong dialect, which makes people feel quite down-to-earth.
Jing Xiyue gradually sank into the plot.
Later, Lao Xing said that he saw a male and a female evil spirit and found an opportunity to escape. As a result, the background sound was the roar of an engine.
The screen also gave Lao Xing some special effects, and even left an afterimage when he ran.
Jing Xiyue was stunned for a moment.
What kind of outrageous dubbing is this?
As expected of you, Xu Ye.
Afterwards, a group of people from Tongfu Inn returned to the inn and talked about the male and female evil spirits.
But while they were chatting, two men in night clothes had already arrived outside the inn.
Bai Zhantang was pretending that he was not afraid, but a sound came from the roof, scaring everyone so much that they hid under the table.
Jing Xiyue laughed at this scene, and even her mother beside her also smiled.
At this moment, the scene changed and it reached the roof.
There were two people wearing night clothes on the roof. Jing Xiyue immediately deduced that these two people were male and female.
Producing a TV series is also about telling stories. Some information needs to be guessed by the audience, but some cannot.
Jing Xiyue felt that Xu Ye handled this aspect very well and quite naturally.
On the roof, the two heroines started chatting.
Jing Xiyue's mother said: "This is not a male and female evil spirit. Aren't these two females?"
The actor who plays Guo Furong was recommended by Du Chonglin. He is an unknown young actor.
This actor played Guo Furong's energy very well.
At this time, the person next to Guo Furong took off the black cloth covering his face.
"ah?"
Jing Xiyue looked surprised.
Because this person is actually Chen Yuxin!
“Sister Chen actually came to make a guest appearance, what a surprise!”
In the drama "Wulin Gaiden", there are too many guest roles.
Xu Ye basically arranged everything. As long as his performance is not particularly bad and he can be trained on the spot, his performance will be pretty good.
The filming of this drama was just like playing, but it was different from the filming of other dramas.
Chen Yuxin’s acting is quite similar.
She plays Xiaoqing, Guo Furong’s maid.
Jing Xiyue also had doubts in her heart.
Looking at Guo Furong, they don’t look like bad people.
Then soon, the plot continued to advance.
Guo Furong said to Xiao Qing: "Then, haven't we gained a lot along the way?"
Xiaoqing asked: "What's the harvest?"
Guo Furong smiled proudly and said, "Aren't we the only ones who saved that bride in Zuojiazhuang?"
Xiao Qing smiled and said, "I didn't ask you to save her."
Guo Furong said: "Do you still need to beg? You haven't seen how sad she is crying. She is crying like this before she is married. If she really gets married, won't her whole life be ruined?"
As soon as this paragraph was finished, the camera returned to the inn.
Tong Xiangyu said slowly to the crowd: "The girl from the Zhao family in Zuojiazhuang is such a nice person, but she is a bit ugly. She is so excited to get married that her eyes well up with tears."
Lao Bai followed: "While we were crying, male and female demons descended from the sky and beat the groom violently. While beating him back, he said we were doing justice for heaven."
Seeing this paragraph, laughter rang out from Jing Xiyue's side.
She hasn’t laughed yet, her mother laughed first.
"What the hell, this script really looks like it was written by Xu Ye! It turns out that he is not doing justice for heaven at all, but doing bad things with good intentions!"
Jing Xiyue was delighted.
She finally understood why these two people were called the male and female evil spirits.
Afterwards, Guo Furong on the roof continued: "That little beggar in Shibalipu, if we don't take action, won't he be burned alive by the old villain?"
There was already a foreshadowing, and Jing Xiyue knew that there would definitely be a twist in this chapter.
Sure enough, in the inn, Bai Zhantang said: "Dr. Xue from Shibalipu. What a good man. He was treating beggars with cupping that day."
Tong Xiangyu followed: "As soon as the fire was lit, male and female evil spirits descended from the sky, punching and kicking them. While beating them, they said that they were doing justice for heaven."
On the roof, Guo Furong continued: "There is also the Xiliang River. If we are a step late, the people in that boat will be killed by the river pirates."
Xiao Qing asked doubtfully: "Miss, how do you know that it is a river pirate?"
Guo Furong said confidently: "Have you ever seen a ferryman who doesn't charge money?"
In the inn.
Tong Xiangyu said: "Uncle Ge Sanshu on the Xiliang River is such a nice person. As long as he is not fishing, he goes to ferry people and sends people across the river for free without charge. As soon as a boatload of people was loaded that day, male and female evil spirits fell from the sky. He was punched and kicked..."
One section on the roof and one section inside the inn.
This scene change made Jing Xiyue unable to stop laughing.
After that, Guo Furong focused on Tongfu Inn. She thought Tongfu Inn was a black shop.
When she came to the door of Tongfu Inn and knocked on the door, a group of people in the inn were frightened.
In this section, Bai Zhantang was so frightened that he revealed all the identity information of everyone.
Here is an introduction to the identities of everyone in the inn.
“You’re laughing so hard, Bai Zhantang is too cowardly!”
Jing Xiyue felt that this paragraph was really funny.
In the end, everyone revealed Bai Zhantang’s name together.
Obviously we just agreed not to say anything.
Afterwards, Guo Furong successfully entered Tongfu Inn.
Jing Xiyue thought that the people in the inn would definitely suffer, but what she didn't expect was that Bai Zhantang was actually a master, and he used the sunflower acupuncture hand to acupuncture Guo Furong.
“Isn’t this special effect a bit too crude?” Jing Xiyue complained in her mind.
The next day, Xiaoqing came to Tongfu Inn to ask for someone, and Guo Furong learned that what she did was not to do justice for God at all, but to harm others.
Guo Furong fell into thinking.
On the roof in the evening, the small philosophy class of Wulin Gaiden arrived, and Tong Xiangyu and Guo Furong had a chat.
Guo Furong stayed at Tongfu Inn to work as a handyman.
But she didn’t want to work, so she finally found a way for herself to help the inn make more money, and she was lazy thinking of ways.
There is a section here where Guo Furong sits at the door of the inn and sings.
In the original play, Guo Furong sang "Eighteen Bends on the Mountain Road" here, but Xu Ye changed it here.
At the door of the inn, Guo Furong opened her mouth and sang loudly: "I want to fly to the sky, go and herd sheep, and give my beloved sheep a few marshmallows~"
The people in Tongfu Inn may not be good at singing, but they are not out of tune.
Looking at this paragraph, Jing Xiyue felt that it was outrageous.
What the **** is this, singing "Swell" in a period sitcom?
But it looks like it doesn’t feel inconsistent at all.
Jing Xiyue and her mother just kept looking at it.
Unconsciously, I finished watching the first episode.
In the end, Xiao Guo has changed a bit, and he is no longer the kind of person he used to be who only talked but did not do anything.
There is also a trailer at the end of the film.
Next time you will see "the shopkeeper's condolences, the person who runs the church to clean up the provocative woman." At this time, the ending song sounded.
A burst of sweet music entered Jing Xiyue's ears.
She was already planning to take the phone, but stopped again.
Not long after, singing came.
“Since the founding of the world by Pangu, it is etiquette and righteousness for chivalrous people to conduct themselves in the world.”
“Victory without fighting is the most ideal. People cannot help themselves in the world.”
As soon as the singing started, Jing Xiyue recognized the singer.
This person is none other than Xu Nanjia!
This ending song is called "Xia Ke Xing".
Soon, it was time to reach the rap part of the ending song.
This is sung by Xu Ye.
“There may be too many things in this world that you don’t like, but your life is still going on despite the ups and downs.”
“Hope lives in your heart, may you be diligent, kind and caring to others and care for yourself.”
Previously, "Wulin Gaiden" only revealed the opening theme song and did not announce the ending theme song at all.
Jing Xiyue didn’t expect that the ending song would have such a surprise.
This song is still a song produced by Xu Xu Rusheng!
“Xu Xu Rusheng, lock me up!”
Jing Xiyue screamed like a marmot in her heart.
Xiao Xu’s voice came again.
“Choke choke cei, choke choke cei, show your courage and let me see~”
This paragraph immediately left a deep impression on Jing Xiyue.
Wait until the chorus comes later.
“There are so many things that are not going as you like in this world, but your life still has to go on.”
“The sun will still rise every day, and hope will always be planted in your heart.”
Listening to this song, Jing Xiyue felt that her mood had calmed down a lot.
In the scenes at the end of the film, there were many wonderful scenes that she watched with great interest and couldn't bear to look away.
If this was placed in other dramas, even if it was the first time I watched the ending, I would most likely skip it.
Looking at the end of the film, Jing Xiyue reached out to touch the fruit on the plate, but found nothing.
Looking down, I saw that the fruits on the plate had been eaten long ago, and not a single one was left.
She didn’t eat it alone, she ate it with her mother.
Her mother smiled and said: "This drama is good. It seems quite relaxing. I'll go and do some work first. Call me when the drama starts."
After saying that, Jing Xiyue’s mother got up and went to the toilet.
"ah?"
Jing Xiyue was confused.
This is a TV series directed by a newcomer, and even her mother can win it.
After the end of the credits, the commercials started.
Jing Xiyue didn’t change the channel at all, she simply put it on Changan Satellite TV.
She picked up her mobile phone and started to check online for any news related to Wulin Gaiden.
However, there are not many related discussions on the Internet.
“Maybe it just started broadcasting, and many people haven’t watched it yet.”
Jing Xiyue judged in her heart.
After the commercial ended, Jing Xiyue continued watching the second episode and called her mother by the way.
In the second episode, Guo Furong was very angry with Bai Zhantang's acupuncture hand and always wanted to fight with Bai Zhantang. In the end, she got her wish and was acupunctured by Bai Zhantang.
After watching this episode, Jing Xiyue suddenly had a special feeling.
In fact, in her imagination, although "Wulin Gaiden" is a sitcom, it still involves fighting and killing.
This is a martial arts drama.
In martial arts dramas, masters fly over walls and fly over walls, and all kinds of powerful martial arts stunts are endless.
As a result, two episodes have passed, and there are no exciting fights or scenes of burning funds.
Fighting and killing only exist in the mouths of the characters.
Suddenly, Jing Xiyue figured out something.
"Actually, "Wulin Gaiden" is not about things in the martial arts, but the stories of ordinary people in the martial arts world. Therefore, this is a "Wulin Gaiden".
People like Tong Xiangyu, if placed in a traditional martial arts drama, they would be just passers-by A and passers-by B, without even a name.
We are all ordinary people with their own lives.
Jing Xiyue thought of this and directly picked up her phone and started writing Weibo.
She wants to write an article for "Wulin Gaiden".
Although it is true that writing theater reviews is a bit unprofessional for a music critic, but it doesn’t matter.
Write what you want to write.
As a result, after she went to Weibo, she found that there were a lot of private messages in her private messages.
“Sister-in-law, go and watch Wulin Gaiden, it’s so good!”
“Xu Ye’s new drama is extraordinary, it’s much better than I thought!”
“Comment on the ending theme of Wulin Gaiden!”
Jing Xiyue was stunned.
It turns out that you are secretly watching "Wulin Gaiden" behind my back.
Jing Xiyue is a fan of Xu Ye, and her fans also know it, so everyone will share information about Xu Ye with her.
After Jing Xiyue finished writing the drama review and sent it out, he started browsing it on Weibo.
This time, the discussion on Weibo has obviously increased a lot.
Wulin Gaiden has completely eliminated this topic, and even entered the top five hot searches.
“Brothers, I didn’t expect this Wulin Gaiden to be so funny!”
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! I already said that I would not eat snacks tonight, but when I was watching the show, I thought it would be a shame if I didn’t eat something in my mouth! I ate several packs of snacks!”
“This drama is really funny. If there are still people who haven’t watched it, let me give you a suggestion. You can watch it during lunch tomorrow.”
On Weibo, many people are discussing this drama.
However, this kind of discussion is very ordinary, and no one said anything about "Wulin Gaiden" blowing up.
In fact, "Wulin Gaiden" is not the kind of TV series that has explosive moments from the beginning. It is a slow-burning drama. It was not until the eighth episode that the audience was officially told the origin of Tongfu Inn and each character. background story.
Since this episode, the story of "Wulin Gaiden" has become more and more exciting. The plots are all interlocking, and the small stories are also handled very delicately.
Early the next morning, Anseong TV station.
Chang'an Satellite TV is the channel responsible for Ancheng TV.
The director of the station, Huang Bo, came to the office. When he arrived at the office, he first made himself a pot of tea.
This can be regarded as Huang Bo’s habit.
Huang Bo is now in his prime. At the age of 40, he still wants to shine in his workplace.
Recently, he is discussing cooperation with a film and television company. This film and television company has produced many hit dramas. If it can buy the copyright, it will be of great help to Changan Satellite TV.
After sitting on the chair, Huang Bo opened his work mailbox.
In his mailbox, his subordinates had already sent him yesterday’s TV station’s ratings data.
After Huang Bo opened it, he slowly looked at it from top to bottom.
He did know that Xu Ye's new drama was broadcast on Chang'an Satellite TV last night.
It’s not that Huang Bo doesn’t pay attention to this drama, but he feels that the drama has a higher chance of being a hit.
He bought the copyright of "Wulin Gaiden" from Xu Ye. In fact, it was not because he liked the show, but because he wanted to maintain a good cooperation with Xu Ye.
They have been very happy to cooperate with Sound and Light Entertainment. Now that Xu Ye, a top-notch person, has settled in Ancheng, we will inevitably have to deal with him in the future.
As long as Xu Ye has a work, Huang Bo will buy it without hesitation.
He doesn’t know whether the show is good or not, but he understands the ways of the world.
“There is definitely no problem with the premiere ratings of “Wulin Gaiden”. With Xu Ye’s popularity so high, the premiere ratings will definitely not be low.”
After Huang Bo read the previous data, it finally arrived at eight o'clock in the evening.
The data of the previous programs were all mediocre, with none exceeding 0.5.
This is quite normal. For daily programs, if the ratings can exceed 0.3, it is considered good.
When Huang Bo saw the ratings of the first episode of "Wulin Gaiden", he was stunned for a moment.
“It’s actually so high?”
The ratings of the first episode were actually 0.81.
Huangbo people are all stupid.
Xu Ye is too fierce, right? !
The ratings for the first broadcast reached 0.81. If the plot does not collapse, wouldn’t the data continue to improve?
“Isn’t it possible? Am I wrong in estimating the traffic brought by current celebrities? Xu Ye’s own traffic is already so high now?”
Huang Bo fell into doubt.
You must know that throughout last year, the average ratings of no TV series on Changan Satellite TV exceeded 0.5, and even the peak was less than 0.81.
The premiere ratings of "Wulin Gaiden" not only broke Changan Satellite TV's premiere record, but also directly surpassed last year's results.
Huang Bo, who was originally calm, could no longer remain calm.
He sat upright.
The film and television company he is currently talking to, even if the other party is willing to sell the copyright to him, he is not sure that the ratings of these dramas can reach such a high level when they are broadcast.
“Stay steady, this is just the beginning.”
Huang Bo mentally lowered his expectations for himself.
As long as you lower your expectations, no matter how bad the data is, it will be acceptable.
After all, the ratings of the first episode represent the people attracted by Xu Ye.
But the ratings of the second episode depend on the quality of the TV series.
Only with good quality can we retain people.
This is the same as writing online articles. Some authors have their own popularity and can attract many readers from the beginning.
But now there is data called follow-up reading. This follow-up reading is the number of real paying readers who have seen the latest chapter.
Many authors cut out books because the readership is too low.
It attracts readers, but the content fails to retain them. The instructions are not good-looking.
This cannot be false, because readers’ eyes are sharp.
If it looks good, people will naturally continue to read it.
Huang Bo slid the mouse and turned to the next page.
This page is the ratings for the second episode of Wulin Gaiden.
Ratings, 0.79.
And during the more than 40 minutes of the second episode, the entire ratings curve was very stable. Even with the advertisements added in the middle, the ratings did not decline.
This retention rate is really terrifying.
At this moment, Huang Bo felt that he was surrounded by happiness.
“I feel like I’m about to take off!”
He didn’t even have to think about it to know that this data was astonishing even for the whole country.
This is because Changan TV has relatively few users.
If it were other TV stations, the ratings would be even higher.
It’s not that Chang’an TV bought Wulin Foreign Language to befriend Xu Ye, but Xu Ye’s drama gave Chang’an TV a chance to stand tall and raise its head.
(End of this chapter)
