Every year, the summer vacation is the period when major TV stations launch key projects. Many popular TV dramas will be broadcast during this period. Therefore, the competition for the summer vacation is often extremely fierce.
And because the summer vacation lasted for two months, and except for weekly dramas, the broadcast cycle of general TV dramas was less than one month, so the competition was roughly divided into two shows in July and August. However, unlike the previous hot dramas that maxed out attention every summer vacation, this year's July is over, but there are still no outstanding dramas that stand out. Although there are some that have good ratings and discussions, but that is just a choice for the audience to settle for the next best thing when there are no tigers in the mountains and monkeys are kings. In comparison, even the hit drama "Big Han Flying Swallow" a few months ago Not even half as hot.
After everyone was disappointed, they turned their attention to the next August.
As one of the contenders for the August file, "Cold Night" has received a lot of attention recently. In addition to the heat brought about by the fan dispute between Jiang Yi and Lin Zequn, it is also because of the feature films released in the early stage. "Cold Night" The evaluation of "Night" is the best among the many big dramas in August.
Liu Ao, the director of "Cold Night", has made many excellent TV series in his early years, but unfortunately encountered a bottleneck period in recent years, and there are very few good works. However, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and his level is still there. At least in terms of film effects, the screen plot and overall texture of "Cold Night" surpassed the other films in seconds. When it was first released, it was amazing. Some netizens even said that Liu Ao is relying on "Cold Night" to make a comeback.
It was already highly anticipated, but there was also a leading role and fans' teasing. Netizens who watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal were very excited. They were curious about who would win and who would win in the PK between "Cold Night" and "Mrs. Yipin", Some people even placed bets at the opening of the Tianya forum.
Probably because there was too much commotion on the Internet, finally on July 30, at the press conference for the national premiere of "Cold Night", a reporter asked Jiang Yi in front of him.
"Recently, netizens are discussing that you and another actor Lin Zequn's new drama "Mrs. Yipin" is due to a collision. Everyone wants to know who is better. What do you think, in these TV dramas to be broadcast? , who has more hope of becoming famous?"
After the reporter asked the question, Jiang Yi, who was dressed casually on the stage of the press conference, was holding the microphone, as if lost in thought.
This question is actually set up in a set way, and it is easy to answer wrong if you are not careful. The host next to you immediately smoothed things over, "Today is the press conference of "Cold Night", and we only ask questions related to "Cold Night", okay? Come on." Come on, get another one."
The reporter grinned and insisted, "This is a question related to "Cold Night". It's not what we want to ask, it's because netizens are curious..."
The host had a headache. He was most afraid of encountering this kind of stalking media. The scene was not at all embarrassing. Just as he was about to force a replacement, Jiang Yi made a gesture to indicate that it was okay.
He looked at the reporter, was silent for two seconds, and smiled slightly, "I think that no matter which film it is, it is a film made by a crew with all their heart. Of course it is the best in the heart of the creator. If you ask me, of course I will "Cold Night" is very good, but other dramas are as good. I also know Gao Qi and Tian Tian. We are friends. I know that they are very professional and excellent actors. So, leave it to the audience to choose .They can watch whichever drama they like, which is beyond our decision.”
The seemingly smooth and thoughtful answer, but the reporters keenly discovered that there was still a mystery hidden in Jiang Yi's words.
The reporter who asked the question clearly mentioned Lin Zequn, but he did not respond to this. Instead, he named Gao Qi and Tiantian. You must know that these two are the real number one male and female in "Mrs. Yipin".
Therefore, Jiang Yi, like his fans, is mocking Lin Zequn for not being the leading actor, so he is not worthy to compete with him? !
This knowledge made everyone excited, holding up their cameras and taking pictures non-stop.
Under the flashing spotlight, Jiang Yi still smiled slightly, as if he didn't have any deep meaning.
"You and Lin Zequn are fighting?" In the lounge, Yin Ru reapplied her lipstick while looking at the people behind her through the makeup mirror.
As the female lead of "Cold Night", when Jiang Yi said those words, she stood beside her and heard them most clearly. Originally, it was just a quarrel on the Internet, but his response is bound to make the quarrel even bigger. Lin Zequn is also promoting a new play these days, so don't have a strong sense of sight when facing each other.
Jiang Yi sat on the chair, closed his eyes and meditated, without answering.
Yin Ru frowned, "I want to remind you that it doesn't matter if you fight in the ring, don't affect this drama."
Jiang Yi just opened his eyes, stared at her for a few seconds, and suddenly smiled, "Isn't this better?"
Yin Ru was taken aback.
"Our fight in the ring is only good for the show, not bad." He shrugged, "Even if there is a bad thing, it will fall on me. You are still the number one woman who has nothing to contend with and is pure and pure."
Yin Ru understood what he meant. Before the show aired, what I was most afraid of was that there would be no news. The disputes in the past few days have indeed brought a lot of attention to "Cold Night". So, Jiang Yi is not only trying to provoke Lin Zequn, but also deliberately using him to hype
She turned around and finally looked at Jiang Yi squarely, her eyes full of surprise.
Yin Ru knew that Jiang Yi had asked for leave from the crew of "If There Is No Love". In the past few days, the two of them have been running publicity together, and there are countless announcements every day, the schedule is much busier than when they were filming.
In fact, judging from her three months of filming with Jiang Yi, although he always looks lazy, he is actually a very focused person. His habit is that as long as he joins the group, he will settle down to figure out the role, and if it is not necessary, he will not ask for leave to go out. So as long as he is on the show, Zhu Jing seldom accepts commercial performances for him. This was the case when filming "Cold Night", and it is also the case when filming "If There Is No Love" recently.
Of course, promoting the new play is an unavoidable link, but judging from the initial arrangement, Jiang Yi still pushed a lot of announcements, leaving only those who must be present. There were several programs, and Yin Ru was ready to record alone. Unexpectedly, news came out a few days ago that Jiang Yi's manager said that he was willing to cooperate with the publicity to the maximum extent.
I thought this was the limit, but who would have thought that in another show like this today, he would actually use himself to give the crew a sense of presence!
It felt like something happened suddenly, which made him have greater expectations for the prospect of "Cold Night", so he was willing to do something for it that he would not have done otherwise.
Yin Ru asked abruptly: "To be honest, you and Lin Zequn actually have other grievances, right?"
Jiang Yi paused, took a bottle of mineral water, and took a sip.
Sunlight came in through the window and shone on his handsome face. The man's thin lips were tightly pursed, his brows were slightly frowned, and he smiled coldly for a while.
He remembered something very unpleasant.
Yin Ru suddenly had the feeling that she had stepped on the line, and was about to find someone to tell her past without revealing any traces, but Jiang Yi turned to look at her, and said with a smile: "You guessed right, we have other grievances. It's a big one. grievances."
What the media can understand, of course netizens can also understand. Jiang Yi's words were interpreted in various depths that night, adding fuel to the already heated battle.
Those who support it say that he is really reckless and not pretending, and the ridicule is beautiful; those who oppose it say that they have never seen the real master himself tearing it up, and the yin and yang strangeness is simply too low, no wonder he can't become popular! Of course, there are still some people who think, are you thinking too much, why can't I hear anything...
Everything was just as Jiang Yi expected, more people were attracted, and topics related to "Cold Night" were also trending on Weibo one after another!
In such a chaotic situation, August 2nd came as scheduled, and "Cold Night" officially landed on the prime time of Capital Satellite TV!
That night, Jian Wei went to Lai Xiaoshuang's apartment and watched the live broadcast with her.
WeChat has been in full swing for a long time, pumpkin sauce, Jiuniang Yuanzi and a group of friends are all ready for battle. As for Weibo, when you click on it, you can see the topics of "Han Ye Premiere" and "Jiang Yi Han Ye". Jian Wei couldn't help but take a deep breath when she saw the attention of the crowd.
"What should I do? Xiaoshuang, my heart is beating so fast! I'm so nervous!" Jian Wei grabbed Lai Xiaoshuang's hand tightly.
She hadn't seen Jiang Yi since she left on the tennis court that day. He asked for leave the next day to go out to publicize. As before, she could only see him on the news. She also saw the fight between him and Lin Zequn. Although she was very happy to see him attack Lin Zequn, Jian Wei couldn't help but feel like a mother.
What he said, if "Cold Night" explodes, it's okay, but once it pounces, it will become a powerful weapon for Heizi to attack him, and the face hurts too much!
Lai Xiaoshuang: "Don't be nervous, at this juncture, we can only wait and see the result."
"Cold Night" does not start broadcasting as soon as the news broadcast ends. There is also the finale of the previous drama "Beautiful Coffee House". After the show ended successfully there, in order to increase the ratings of the new drama on the first day, according to the usual practice, the TV station did not insert commercials between the two dramas, but directly entered the opening song of "Cold Night".
At this time, all over the country, apart from those who were waiting for "Cold Night", many viewers who had just watched "Beautiful Coffee House" were still immersed in the satisfaction of the protagonist's happy ending, and had no time to change channels, so they also took advantage of the trend to watch the new movie. play.
The setting of the story also moved from a coffee house in the 21st century to Shanghai in 1941, a chilly spring.
"Cold Night" is adapted from the novel of the same name, and the story itself has been well received. Director Liu Ao is still young, and the first episode is a head start, the plot is tense and smooth, the leading actors appear one after another, and the contradictions spread out.
A progressive young man returning home after studying, an aristocratic girl who hides secrets, a traitor and a traitor who is planning a heinous conspiracy... Under the appearance of the prosperity of the prosperous age, there is the cloud of war, covering the entire Shanghai Bund.
Jian Wei sat in front of the TV, although her eyes were looking at the screen, her heart was in a panic. It's not that she doesn't have confidence, but that she knows that although the show is getting a lot of attention now, anyone who knows a little bit about the market knows that no matter what is hyped in the early stage, it can't be counted, and it will only be known when it is broadcast.
Although "Cold Night" is well-produced, it is a spy war drama of the Republic of China. In the current environment, the drama of the Republic of China has not had a big hit for several years, so even if the reviews from the TV station are good, the trailers are also prepared. It has been praised, but the industry is not particularly optimistic about it. In addition to the two leading actors, Jiang Yi is tepid, and Yin Ru is almost a newcomer. Without a big star, the future looks even more bleak.
In contrast, "Mrs. Yipin" is a popular theme of ancient courts. The second male lead is the very popular Lin Zequn. "Be strong.
If "Cold Night" really loses, if Jiang Yi loses...
Time passed quickly, and before she could react, one episode had already been broadcast. Jian Wei hurriedly asked Lai Xiaoshuang: "How is it?"
Lai Xiaoshuang cautiously said, "What do you think?"
"Me? Of course I feel good!" In fact, she felt very good. The plot is very attractive, and Jiang Yi's appearance this time is very handsome, even though she is full of worries in several places, she is fascinated by it.
but…
"I don't think it's good or not. I can't represent the general audience. I have too much fan filter for him! He can fascinate me even if he wears a sack!"
Lai Xiaoshuang spread her hands, "I can't watch the drama from the audience's perspective now, or you can go and read everyone's evaluation."
Seeing her reaction, Jian Wei felt chilled, and anxiously posted on Weibo, but she didn't see anything about "Cold Night" after scrolling through several posts. She was even more nervous, with many thoughts in her mind, afraid that others would say bad things, and even more afraid that no one would say bad things.
If the speculation is vigorous and silent, it will be too miserable...
Suddenly, a familiar ID appeared on the homepage. He is a well-known microblogger who is known for watching many dramas and sharp reviews. Many dramas that have been widely circulated on the Internet are all written by her.
At this moment, this always sharp blogger is roaring loudly in an extremely restless tone!
@艺汉品家Avril V: "Fuck, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah!!!
