After becoming Famous, I Became Successful In My Cultivation
Scene 27 - “[The Universe] becomes popular”
Translator: Google Translate
Editor: Sai Hiroto
As soon as the trailer for "Qian Kun" was released, advertisers changed their minds.
They had previously come for the first three dramas, especially the S+ fairy tale "I See How Charming the Fairy Mountains Are", which is an IP that is even more popular than "The Universe". The male and female protagonists are both popular traffic stars, and they fought for a whole month or two, and finally, they were evenly matched.
The popularity has been maintained from the beginning to now. As long as there is a Reuters, the fans and haters of the male and female protagonists will have a big fight on the Internet. The process of fighting has gone through countless times, just waiting for the broadcast to top the list.
Unfortunately, the sincerity is a bit lacking from the trailer.
If there is no comparison with "The Universe", the trailer of "Fairy Mountain" looks okay, the people are nice and the scenery is beautiful, but the plot is a bit monotonous, there are many meaningless dialogues, and it is really difficult to see the ups and downs of the plot.
But with "The Universe", the difference between the two dramas is obvious, at least in terms of trailers.
The host of Orange Network was not surprised when they saw this. Some of them had already seen the film. Although it was not the final film, everyone was in the industry and had their own judgment on whether a drama was good or not.
The good thing about "The Universe" is that the plot is very full. In a drama of forty-eight episodes, there is almost no water in it, and it is all about the main plot.
The reason for this is because Tiancheng accounts for more than half of the investment, and Qin Xuan himself is very powerful, and no resource guys are allowed to come in and get involved in the drama.
In addition, the show was not very popular in the early stage, the male and female protagonists are not big stars, and although the IP is famous, it is not that famous, so there are really not many resource people who are vying to get a piece of the pie.
But "Fairy Mountain" is different. The investment in this drama is almost three times that of "The Universe". The male and female protagonists were both popular traffic stars. The IP was always in the top three on the website, and it was almost the white moonlight of the immortal hero for many first-love readers.
This is an advantage, but it also becomes a disadvantage.
Countless resource-rich people wanted to come in and play a role, but it was not enough to play it, and they also wanted to expand their own plotlines, so the filming period was a mess.
Let alone the male and female protagonists, even the director had no way to deal with it.
The scene was full of posts every day, and the male and female protagonists even rarely posted promotional Weibo.
Although the drama was successfully filmed in the end, the people who watched the drama were not very optimistic.
Again, if there is no comparison with "The Universe", advertisers would have invested in it just because of its popularity. But now there is a big gap between the two versions of the trailer, and they can't help but think about it seriously.
Should we believe the data or the eyes?
After the trailer was played, there were suddenly many more people around Su Xinghe.
It seemed that everyone suddenly realized that he was sitting there.
Su Xinghe, who received a lot of business cards, said that this was the first time he was so popular in the entertainment industry.
He handed all these business cards to Zheng Ming, then changed his suit and went back to Chang Town without stopping.
He found that the place of extravagance and decadence was indeed attractive, but the film set was more attractive.
After watching the trailer of "Qian Kun" again, he couldn't wait to get into his next role.
Of course, he doesn't have the next role at present, but he can continue to be intimate with the previous role.
So Su Xinghe returned to the crew of "Great Wu Dynasty" eagerly.
However, the crew was taking a break at the moment, and everyone was paralyzed.
The few people who were still active were holding their mobile phones, and a familiar voice came from the mobile phones.
It was his voice.
???
Su Xinghe suddenly had a bad feeling.
Gao Xinhong smiled and said, "The trailer of "The Universe" has been posted online, and we have all watched it."
Another veteran actor also said, "It's well shot, I think it will be a hit."
The trailer of a drama is sometimes not a big deal, but at least you can see the actors' state and the camera movement of the whole drama, etc.
"The Universe" is undoubtedly qualified in these aspects.
Especially Su Xinghe's performance. Although his acting skills are not as good as Wu Yu's, his interpretation of Qiu Xuan is also very real and moving.
They have been filming with Su Xinghe for more than a month, and they never thought that Su Xinghe could play a character like Qiu Xuan Immortal Lord.
After all, when they first saw Su Xinghe, they thought he was just a boy with fat cheeks, totally different from the immortal in "The Universe".
Hey, thinking of this, when everyone looked at Su Xinghe again, they felt that he had recovered to the appearance of 19 years old.
Maybe he lost weight while filming?
This is also the case. During the process of "weight loss" in the crew, it just fits the state of Little Wu Yu from 13 to 20 years old.
After the trailer for "The Universe" was posted online, it also caused a lot of discussion.
The investment promotion meeting of Orange Network has been promoted for a long time, and many fans are waiting for today's trailer collection.
The most watched dramas are naturally the three dramas rated S+. Although "The Universe" is rated S, no one pays attention to it except Ji Yujia's fans.
But this drama, after one day, became the most watched among more than ten trailers.
Even Ji Yujia's haters can only admit heartily that this drama is indeed worth watching, but they don't think it's Ji Yujia's credit, it's all the credit of the confused male protagonist!
"The first role is going to fail this time, I'm optimistic about the male lead!"
"Ji Yujia's acting is really bad, compared to the male lead, she is simply a piece of trash."
The haters were upset, and Ji Yujia's fans naturally couldn't stand it. They had a good impression of Su Xinghe, but now they all have a knot in their hearts.
Fortunately, the big fan is still rational and restrains the fans from fighting with the male lead's fans, because this will greatly affect the perception of passersby. Once the male and female protagonists fight too much before the show is broadcast, it is easy to cause the CP's feelings to break.
How can an ancient idol without a CP feeling become popular? It can only become popular in dreams.
As for Su Xinghe's thin fans, they were also surprised by the splash caused by "The Universe".
Most of them had never been fans of a star before, but they just liked Su Xinghe because they saw "Full Palace".
They don't usually do data, nor do they know how to do data. After all, there are few people, and they only occasionally post their thoughts in the group. Most of the time, they are in a state of retirement.
Who knew that their obscure brother would cause such a discussion after the release of the trailer for "Qian Kun"?
Although many of them are not good words, they basically treat their brother as a fool to belittle others, but the popularity is indeed rising.
Could it be that after the broadcast of "Qian Kun", their brother will really become popular?
Many people in the industry have such speculations, but things in the entertainment industry have always been mysterious. A small fire can be achieved by support, but a big fire has always depended on fate.
They couldn't tell whether he had that fate or not.
Su Xinghe, who could tell fortunes, couldn't tell either.
Of course, he wanted to be famous, because being famous would make money and allow him to take on better scripts.
After he had money, he could buy a house for himself and his three children, renovate the Taoist temple on the mountain, and build a new golden statue for the founder...
With a better script, he can play more dramas and experience more people's different lives.
If he hadn't been rational, Su Xinghe would have wanted to call Taoist Master Wang and ask him to tell his fortune.
Su Xinghe didn't worry for too long because the schedule of "The Universe" had been roughly determined.
It will be broadcast after "Fairy Mountain" in about three months.
Su Xinghe sighed. He actually wanted to see "The Universe" as soon as possible, but it was a pity that "The Universe" didn't get the schedule before "Fairy Mountain", so he could only wait until this S+ drama was finished before "The Universe" could be broadcast.
Fans of "Fairy Mountain" are naturally eager to set off firecrackers to celebrate. They actually didn't take "The Universe" seriously before, but the trailer of "The Universe" was indeed edited too well, so they also have a sense of crisis.
But now that "Fairy Mountain" is broadcast first, "The Universe" can't threaten them in any way.
Of course, they have to set off firecrackers to celebrate.
A week later, "Fairy Mountain" was launched on Orange Network, and fans were as happy as if they were celebrating the New Year that day.
When Su Xinghe opened Weibo, eight of the top 20 hot searches were about "Fairy Mountain". He couldn't help but exclaim, and all these hot searches were converted into money in his mind.
So rich!
The crew of "Fairy Mountain", who are called rich, are not in a relaxed mood at the moment.
Although the first episode of "Fairy Mountain" had very good playback volume, the second and third episodes showed different degrees of gaps.
Of course, this data is already an unattainable ceiling for other general dramas, but for "Fairy Mountain" which has invested so much money, it can only be explained in two words - loss of money.
“Let’s watch the new drama for three days and then see what happens,” said the producer.
Although this is said, the company executives present all know that the saying that a drama can be watched for three days is generally only applicable to small dramas played by small-time actors. The reputation of such dramas needs to ferment, so they naturally need to be watched for a few more days. However, for dramas played by real traffic stars, the number of viewers on the first day will reach a very terrifying level. In this case, if it is not popular...
It can only mean that the drama is not good, at least the first few episodes are not good.
As expected, "Fairy Mountain" became a huge hit, but by the second week, there were almost no posts discussing the drama.
Even if there were, they were basically mocking, or the fans of the male and female protagonists were scolding the crew. In short, this fairy drama with a sky-high investment also lost a sky-high price.
By the time the crew of "The Great Wu Dynasty" finished filming, no one was discussing the drama "Fairy Mountain" anymore, but "The Universe" was ready to air.
On the day of the show, Su Xinghe was so nervous that he ate less than one bowl of rice.
"The Universe" was his first male lead, and he really wanted to be recognized by the audience.
Because he wanted Qiu Xuan's life to be seen and understood by more people.
Qin Xuan was sitting next to Su Xinghe, and he certainly wouldn't miss the show.
"Don't worry, this show is great." Qin Xuan looked at Su Xinghe.
Su Xinghe had returned to normal, and he could no longer see the appearance of the little monster.
Qin Xuan felt a little regretful.
But as long as it was Su Xinghe, no matter what he looked like, he was full of good feelings.
At the same time, many people were waiting for this show.
Gu Mengmeng was one of them.
Since she met Su Xinghe in Changchun last time, she has become a fan of Su Xinghe.
She even created a group and added a lot of Buddhist fans to share the latest news about Su Xinghe.
Today, "The Universe" started airing, and everyone in the group who was not active came out, and everyone was waiting for the show to air.
At 8 o'clock, the page of "The Universe" was finally refreshed, and the content of the first six episodes was added.
Gu Mengmeng nervously clicked on the first episode.
In the soothing music, the painting of the fairy world slowly unfolds like ink splashing.
Qi Zhi as a girl appeared in the camera, she was wearing a purple dress and sitting on a jacaranda tree. The soft blue and purple flowers were stacked layer by layer, one cluster next to another, hazy and misty.
But this extremely beautiful jacaranda tree is not as beautiful as the purple-dressed girl's smile.
Following the girl's gaze, the figure of the boy in red appeared under the tree.
He tied a high ponytail and tied his hair with golden silk thread, and the fiery red skirt swayed in the wind, revealing boots embroidered with gold thread.
He raised his head and looked at the girl on the tree with a pair of extremely beautiful eyes.
The two smiled at each other.
The petals of the jacaranda tree fell, getting closer and closer, and finally fell to the ground and were crushed into flower mud.
This flower and tree that waited for love in despair opened up a life of entanglement between the two.
After the opening song ended, Gu Mengmeng couldn't help holding her breath.
She couldn't wait to see Qiu Xuan.
But after the first episode, the three words disappeared, and what appeared was not the young Qiu Xuan and Qi Zhi she thought, but Qi Zhi, who could already ascend to the immortal land.
This drama does not tell the story in chronological order from beginning to end.
In the Immortal Palace, the ascended Qi Zhi met the Immortal Lord, who had the same face as her old friend.
This is the ninth Immortal Lord of the Immortal Palace. He ascended a hundred years ago. He killed the world's most ferocious beasts, such as Tianlin, Tianpeng, and Tianjing in the Endless Sea, and killed the two Demon Lords Hun Tian and Zhen Ming, who dominated the demon world for hundreds of years in Xishe Mountain...
He relied on his cultivation and achievements to become the ninth Immortal Lord. Before him, the Immortal Palace had not had a new Immortal Lord born for a thousand years.
Speaking of his achievements in the past hundred years, the immortals in the Immortal Palace could not finish talking about it for a whole day.
"What about before he ascended?" Qi Zhi asked anxiously.
The immortals shook their heads and said, "We dare not ask about the things that happened to the Immortal Lords before they ascended to heaven."
Immortals are immortals, mortals are mortals, and the immortal world never discusses the mortals' identities before they became immortals.
Qi Zhi really dislikes the immortal world.
Even though this is the blessed land of gods that the monks yearn for, every place of every immortal here, even the bricks and tiles in the corners, is permeated with pressure and constraints from authority.
The immortals in the immortal world regard mortals as ants. Even if they are immortals, they are still hierarchical.
But in just one day, Qi Zhi felt out of breath.
She thought that if Immortal Qiu Xuan was really the Qiu Xuan she knew, he would also hate the immortal world very much.
But is this Qiu Xuan Immortal Lord really the one she has in her heart?
She was very sure before, but now she is not sure.
Because the Qiu Xuan Immortal Lord she saw was high and mighty, and there was no difference between him and the other eight Immortal Lords.
No matter how cruel and unfair the things that happened in front of him were, his expression did not even waver.
The boy she knew was obviously not like this.
After watching the previous episode, if Gu Mengmeng had not known the plot long ago, she would probably have thought that Qiu Xuan Immortal Lord was a villain.
But even if he was a villain, he was too good-looking.
When he sat on the throne and said "kill without mercy" lightly, when he picked up the wine glass and killed the next big monster while drinking, he lowered his eyes and walked past Qi Zhi as if nothing had happened...
The word "Immortal" had a concrete image in Gu Mengmeng's mind for the first time.
Qiu Xuan Immortal Lord, the ninth Immortal in the immortal world, completely walked out of the book.
By the time she finished watching the sixth episode, it was already the next morning.
Gu Mengmeng, who never stayed up late, was not sleepy at all at this moment. Not only was she not sleepy, but she was so excited that she had no desire to sleep at all. She opened the group and wanted to share her excitement with everyone in the group. However, according to the inertia of their Buddhist group, there must be no one there at this time.
She typed a long essay.
Who knew that as soon as the message was sent out, a lot of people started to reply to her?
"I just finished watching it, and I cried my ass off."
"The immortals in the fairy world are so annoying! Today's story made me cry."
"Ah, Qiu Xuan didn't want to do that, but it's a pity that the heroine can't understand him now."
"Oh, my brother acted so well. He is so cold and unkind, but when I look into his eyes, I feel that he is very angry and in pain. I don't know how my brother acted out this strange contrast."
In the first six episodes, the two stories at the beginning of ‘The Universe’ have been completed.
Unlike the previous "Fairy Mountain" where all the plots were presented through weak dialogues, all the plots of "The Universe" are composed of stories one by one. These stories connect the contradictions between the immortal world and the human world, the past and present of the male protagonist, the present and future of the female protagonist, and the love and separation between the male and female protagonists.
The old ascendant kneeled tremblingly in the immortal palace, just to ask why the immortals slaughtered his entire village.
The docile big demon rushed to the immortal palace angrily, just to get back the body of his child so that it would not become a snack for the immortals.
The two stories completely changed Qi Zhi and made Qi Zhi completely disappointed in Qiu Xuan.
Two lovers who were once close to each other have become strangers after finally meeting each other.
In just six episodes, the audience has been brought into the world of "The Universe".
They saw the kind Qi Zhi, the cold Qiu Xuan, the persistent old man, the weeping monster, and the ruthless immortal world.
Compared with the powerlessness of language, the story is the most intuitive.
Even though the old man and the big demon were only supporting roles, their stories made everyone cry.
And the images of Qi Zhi and Qiu Xuan also became more vivid because of these two stories.
The next day, "The Universe" undoubtedly topped the hot search list.
"After so many years, I finally saw a fairy hero with a plot. Finally, it's not the hero and heroine who are in love every day."
"The old man last night, who had practiced for so many years, just wanted to seek justice for the people in the village, just to ask the high and mighty immortals why they slaughtered their village. I cried to death."
"The big demon did nothing wrong. He always wanted to ascend, so he never took the evil path. Who knew that his child was cooked by the immortals as a pig and dog, he wanted to fight hard before he died, but it was just a dying struggle. He didn't even hold on for a few seconds and turned into ashes. It really pissed me off."
Most of the people discussing it did not know the plot. They had not read the original work or even watched the trailer, so they were particularly angry, not only for the story that happened in the plot but also for the male protagonist, Qiu Xuan Immortal Lord.
"Although I know he must have his reasons, he is really too ruthless, just like a machine in the fairy world."
"I don't know what the heroine likes about him."
"Tonight's preview seems to have something that happened when they were young."
"Didn't the heroine say that he had died before? Maybe something happened after he was resurrected?"
The fans didn't go to popularize the plot because they are now enthusiastically promoting it everywhere.
In fact, they don't need to promote it. After all, fans are only a minority of the drama-chasing crowd. Most of the drama's playback volume is still supported by the drama-chasing passersby, so after watching the first six episodes, the drama-chasing fans have been running around to tell their companions—finally, there is a drama to chase, brothers and sisters, go for it!
Tiancheng and Orange Network have been paying close attention to various data, including the number of views, the number of discussions on Weibo, and the number of discussions on WeChat Moments...
But one day, "The Universe" seemed to have a presence in many places.
Ji Yujia also posted a promotional Weibo and even @ed Su Xinghe.
This is also the team's strategy. When the drama is broadcast, they will try their best to promote the CP and then find an opportunity to break up the CP after the drama is broadcast. As long as the breakup is done well, most of the CP fans will stay.
Su Xinghe doesn't quite understand these, but Tiancheng's publicity does.
So he simply handed the Weibo to the publicity and let the company help him manage it.
He doesn't care about promoting the CP or breaking up the CP. He just wants to know if "The Universe" is really popular, can he find a better team and act in a better script for the next one?
Seeing that he was in a daze, Zhang Qing thought he was worried that he would not be able to attract fans, so she comforted him, "Don't worry, after the situation turns around, Qiu Xuan will probably attract a large number of fans."
However, Su Xinghe did not appreciate Zhang Qing's consideration at all and immediately asked, "Sister Zhang, have you found your next drama yet?"
"Great Wu Dynasty" has been completed, and after the crew moves out, he will deal with the bad guys in the crew, and he will have no reason to stay in Chang Town.
He doesn’t want to leave Chang Town!
Zhang Qing:...
Su Xinghe has been asking her questions every day recently, and she has had PTSD. She said, "There are indeed a few scripts for you, but I don't think they are good. Let's wait a little longer. It seems that ‘The Universe’ will be a hit now. It depends on whether you can break out."
Soon, the audience responded to Zhang Qing's question with enthusiasm.
Because in the memories of the next few episodes, Qiu Xuan's image finally became fuller.
He is a red-dressed chick on Kunlun Mountain, a little firecracker who helps mortals seek justice, and a proud person loved by his master and family.
He once traveled for three months just to find the evil cultivator who killed mortals and once stood on a tree and waited for several hours just to protect the little bird in the bird's nest that had not yet opened its eyes.
He is passionate, just, kind, and humble...
All the positive words in the world can be applied to him.
But he disappeared in the end.
His parents were killed, and not even a complete body was left. The blood stained the whole yard.
His master was abolished by someone. The once high-spirited Kunlun Phoenix became a mortal who could be bullied by everyone. He died at the foot of a mountain in Kunlun in just a few months.
And he, who escaped death, could only hide his identity and prolong his life.
He watched the culprit still hold the title of genius.
Watched the murderers who killed his parents and master ascend to heaven.
Watched Kunlun forget him and his master long ago.
The former Kunlun Phoenix shed a tear of blood in despair in front of the tombs of his parents and master.
From that moment on, the young Qiu Xuan died, and only the current Immortal Venerable remained.
The audience could no longer hold back.
In just one night, the names Qiu Xuan and Su Xinghe exploded on various social media.
Entered Hengdian* (the entertainment industry) at the age of 18, and at the age of 20, Su Xinghe finally became famous.
[*Sai: ‘Hengdian’ (横店), full name 'Hengdian World Studios' (横店影视城), is a film studio located in Hengdian, a Chinese town in the city of Dongyang, Zhejiang Province. It is one of the largest film studios in the world.]
The author has something to say:
I just sorted out the timeline, and there may be some errors in the expression. Here is a summary for everyone.
18 years old, in the second half of the year, Chang Town was an extra, filming ‘Full Palace’.
19 years old, filming ‘The Universe’, ‘Full Palace’ started broadcasting, filming ‘Great Wu Dynasty’.
20 years old, ‘The Universe’ was broadcast, and ‘Great Wu Dynasty’ finished.
The time is about the past two years, but I wrote it as the third year at that time, which was calculated according to the natural year, so there may be some misunderstandings, so I will sort it out here.
