Chen Shaojie now spends time in Internet cafes whenever he has free time. He can be regarded as a senior Internet fan.
He mainly visits a website called "Colorful Plum Blossoms" these days, which is a good place he took out from the Internet not long ago. This website was originally created spontaneously by a few fans who like Plum Blossom dramas, and is dedicated to communication among fans of Plum Blossom dramas. It has become very popular not long after it was founded. From the beginning to now, in six months, the website has nearly 100,000 registered users. It can also be seen from this that Plum Blossom dramas have a broad mass base in China.
In the Internet age, Meihua Media itself has its own official website, but the website style is not as free and lively as "Colorful Plum Blossom", and its popularity is also not as good as that of "Colorful Plum Blossom". After Meihua Company noticed this, it attached great importance to this private website. Any new news or resources from the company will be sent to "Colorful Plum Blossom" as soon as possible.
The trailer of "Swordsman" has just been broadcast on Urban and Rural Network, and the "Colorful Plum Blossom" website also immediately appeared the online video and download resources of this trailer.
In China in 2001, the Internet speed was limited. Chen Shaojie waited for almost five minutes for the trailer video, which was only over a minute in total, to be buffered. He clicked and held the play button and pressed the mouse.
The video is in rm format, and the picture clarity played by realplayer is relatively average. Even so, this video of just over a minute is enough to satisfy Kim Yong fans. As you all know, the new version of "Swordsman" is in the style of classical Chinese ink painting, with gorgeous colors and an elegant light and shadow effect; in terms of martial arts, the new version of "Swordsman" attaches great importance to the changes in martial arts moves, which embodies a kind of dance. Beautiful, there are no cheap special effects like laser bombs flying all over the sky in the picture; CG special effects can also satisfy the audience. Even the audience who are not familiar with special effects can see that the scene of Oriental Invincible capturing the birds is completed by CG special effects, but the audience cannot see it. There is no distortion whatsoever.
Of course, the most discussed topics among netizens are the characters and plot. Chen Shaojie found that among the nearly 10,000 comments under this video, most of them were discussions about Linghu Chong and Dongfang Invincible.
Netizen "StephenLee9" left a message: "The trailer only shows two people, Linghu Chong and Dongfang Bubai. This shows that Linghu Chong and Dongfang Bubai have an affair in this version of "The Swordsman"!"
Netizen "The most beautiful is the black of night" left a message: "Maybe, in this version of "Swordsman", Dongfang Bubai is the number one heroine, or even the number one protagonist."
Netizen "I've got you fertilized" left a message: "Although the bearded man in "The Swordsman" is always mysterious when reporting news to the media, squeezing out a little information like toothpaste. But as soon as they announced that Xu Qin was playing Dongfang Bu When I lost the role, I knew that this version of "Swordsman" would definitely focus on Dongfang Bubai."
Netizen "Big Honey Association President" left a message: "This is not difficult to guess. If Dongfang Bubai chooses a male actor to play the role, it is basically impossible for him to be the protagonist; if a woman is chosen to play the role, there is a 30% chance that Dongfang Bubai will play the role." Defeat is the protagonist; if a young and beautiful female star is chosen to play the role, there is a 60% chance that Dongfang Bubai will be the heroine."
Netizen "Tian Lingyou" left a message: "You are all wrong. How could Dongfang Bubai be the number one heroine? I can tell you responsibly that the number one heroine in "Swordsman" is definitely Ren Yingying."
This netizen¡¯s tone was so confident that it aroused the interest of many other netizens, who all asked him what his reasons were and whether he had obtained any inside information.
After many replies, Chen Shaojie looked at the reply from netizen "Tian Lingyou" and couldn't help but laugh.
"You guys are just stupid and don't read carefully. A man from the palace is still a man, but an incomplete man. An incomplete man and an incomplete woman are not the same concept, let alone the same as a woman. Therefore, what you should be concerned about is who is the leading actor, Dongfang Bubai or Linghu Chong."
As soon as he said this, all the netizens who followed the post were convinced, and they began to talk enthusiastically about the serious academic issue of the difference between incomplete men and incomplete women.
Chen Shaojie found these discussions a bit boring and lost interest in continuing to follow them. His attention was instead drawn to another hot post on the forum.
""Love in the Rain" is scheduled to be released in October. Is it possible that Qin Tianzhu will face Zhao Wei on domestic screens in October?"
"Love in the Rain" is a drama series prepared by the Chaoting TV Drama Channel. This time, I have no intention of using this drama to attack Chengrong Network and Meihua Media. "Love in the Rain" was originally scheduled for October 7th. A few days later, Meihua Media announced that "Swordsman" will be scheduled for October 1st, the National Day holiday.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away?This drama can bring huge advertising fees to the station. I feel reluctant to take it away to compete with Meihua Media.
Of course, Meihua Media did not deliberately target "Love in the Rain", there was no need for it. Plum Blossom Company's dramas are all about me now, I don't take the initiative to provoke others, and I'm not afraid of challenges from others.
Although neither of the two shows intends to compete in a competition, the two dramas are both quite eye-catching and the schedules are so close that it is difficult not to compare the two dramas.
The news media are naturally full of expectations for Qin Tianzhu VS Zhao Wei III. The media are also very interested in knowing what kind of sparks the two sides will have in the fourth showdown of the year between Urban and Rural Network and Chaotingtai.
Not only the mainstream media are looking forward to it, but netizens are also very interested in this topic. Moreover, this time, Chaotingtai won the praise of the vast majority of netizens.
"After repeated defeats and repeated defeats, Chaotingtai has won my respect!"
"You can do it at Chaotingtai, don't be intimidated by Meihua Media!"
"Although Plum Blossom Media is excellent, China cannot have just one Plum Blossom. I am very happy to see the healthy competition between domestic TV industry peers and Plum Blossom Media."
¡¡
Posts like this can be seen everywhere on the Internet, most of which express praise for Chaotingtai¡¯s indomitable spirit and encouragement for Chaotingtai¡¯s four-game plum blossoms.
This made Chaotingdai a little embarrassed. In fact, as soon as Meihua Media announced that "Swordsman" will be scheduled for October 1, Chaotingdai was studying whether to find a reason to release "Love in the Rain" The schedule was moved later to avoid "The Swordsman". But now, the media and the Internet are so looking forward to this showdown that was not planned by the two parties, which makes the imperial court feel uncomfortable about stepping down. Especially on the Internet, there is a lot of praise and encouragement for Chaotingtai. If you back down at this time, it will seriously affect the reputation of Chaotingtai.
This matter has attracted the attention of Yang Yuan, the director of Chaoting Station, and he personally called Director Zheng of the program team.
"Old Zheng, what do you think about this matter? Is it better to accept the challenge, or choose to avoid it?"
"Director, through the previous three duels with Urban and Rural Network, we have discovered that two TV series with widely different target audiences are very likely to achieve a win-win situation. But if the target audiences of the two TV series are completely different Not big, or even completely the same type of TV series. There is no doubt that there is a process of ebb and flow. One is a romantic drama and the other is a martial arts drama, "Love in the Rain" and "Swordsman", although the types of dramas are different. , but the target audiences of both parties overlap quite a lot, and "The Swordsman" also has a very good love story. In terms of audience base, Jin Yong's martial arts drama is bigger than Qiong Yao's romance drama."
Director Zheng is someone who has been in the system for a long time. He knows that although it is just determining the broadcast schedule of a TV series, it is not a trivial matter related to the reputation of Chaoting TV. He did not directly answer the conclusion of fight or avoidance, but gave the station director a detailed analysis of the relevant pros and cons, leaving the decision to the station director.
Yang Yuan considered Director Zheng¡¯s words again and again. Obviously, Director Zheng is not confident that "Love in the Rain" will beat "Swordsman". If you choose to fight, not only will your interests be damaged, but losing to Plum Blossom again will not be a glorious thing. Of course, if Chaotingtai chooses to escape, he will be ridiculed even more.
"Shouldn't "Swordsman" be broadcast first? Let's see their results before making a decision.
October 1st, National Day, Director Yang Yuan watched his TV, waiting for the premiere of "The Swordsman".
¡°Ding ding dong~~ ding ding dong!¡±
There was a rhythmic guqin accompaniment, followed by a clear flute sound.
¡°Have one, use love; be the insignificant dust in the soul.
Tirelessly, dancing alone; outside the desolate and chaotic rivers and lakes.
The sound of the flute rises, the sound of the flute falls; I play the pipa and sigh helplessly.
Love is long and short, the heart is broken; it becomes silent but lingers, but lingers"
The theme song "Dust", combined with the knights moving and fighting freely among the mountains and rivers in the picture, opens up a world of martial arts.
After the opening credits, enter the main film of "The Swordsman".
A kid in Tsing Yi was carrying a bundle of firewood on his back and skipping along a winding mountain path. He was showing martial arts moves as he walked, looking very excited. Along the way, we were startled by countless pheasants and white rabbits in the jungle bushes.
As the camera follows the footsteps of the boy in Tsing Yi, it slowly zooms out, gradually revealing the entire mountain. The entire mountain is like a straight sword piercing the sky, steep and steep.
The road that the boy in Tsing Yi is walking is the only one in the mountain.??, the path spirals upward around the outside of the mountain to the top of the mountain. Following the footsteps of the little boy in green, the audience saw the endless waterfall that flowed down. The small water droplets splashed from the waterfall were as thin as smoke and dust, and the mist covered the mountain stream and trees with a thin veil. ; I saw the classical wooden buildings built against the mountain; I saw the disciples on the platform on the edge of the mountain who were concentrating on practicing their swords; I saw the cranes flying slowly not far from the mountain; I saw the welcoming trees growing on the cliffs. Ke Song; I saw monkeys playing with each other in twos and threes
The mountain is surrounded by smoke, the vegetation in the mountain is green and lush, and the flowers are like brocade and satin, as straight as a fairyland.
A boy in green clothes put down firewood in front of a house, and the camera began to move away from him and towards other disciples. Some of them are practicing swordsmanship, some are doing horse-drawing, some are meditating, and some are reading books.
With the music "Sword Soul and Qin Heart", the wonders of the Huashan Sect and the various aspects of life and practice of its disciples are intuitively presented to the audience.
"Suddenly, a pretty little girl aged fourteen or fifteen tried her Qinggong skills. Unexpectedly, she failed to control the heat well and floated off the cliff.
"Ah!" The fellow disciples exclaimed, and at this moment, a figure of a young hero in blue quickly floated into the screen on the left side of the screen. With a few moves, he easily hugged the little girl.
The little girl called out "elder brother" in a sweet voice, and the handsome young man in blue gave her a comforting smile. The little girl shyly buried herself in the young man in blue's arms. The two of them were flying comfortably among the cliffs outside the mountain, with birds flying around them from time to time.
Throughout the whole process, the beautiful and refined melody of "The Sword of Jianghu" runs throughout.
Everything is so beautiful that I feel like I¡¯m drunk! (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
