Chapter 95
From the perspective of the script, director and actor wise, "Thousand Words" was not a large-scale TV series, and its production cost was even lower than the average level. However, on the first day of the broadcast, the audience rating was not expected by all parties to be a dark horse. After the first day of the broadcast, the rising rating directly established the development momentum of the TV series to be a dark horse in the first half of the year.
The topics related to the TV series "Thousand Words" had been increasing in recent days to such an extent that people who didn't usually watch TV series knew something about them. All these signs were easy to let the cast members know one thing. The TV series they shot and produced was very popular.
As soon as the show started to explode, several leading stars naturally followed its rise in popularity and won a large number of new fans. However, the characters who caused so many topics in the show and added indelible highlights to the sharp increase in the whole show were not the male and female leads, but the male lead No. 3 "Jiang Li", which was criticized by many people at the beginning.
In the early days, some people who criticized the black spot of the youth's poor acting skills and started shooting wildly did not stop for a few days even when the TV series was on the air. When the commentary was excellent, they did not believe and also went to watch an episode. They immediately felt pain on their faces.
If this was called bad acting, they were afraid that there were really very few actors who could be called powerful.
Before, they said they would not watch Jiang Li without the actor being changed Now, after watching it for more than ten minutes to verify the situation, the person who said this just wanted to take back his words.
The great earth resident: "Jiang Li looked at the eyes of the female lead as she left, ah, a mouthful of glass, slag."
There were only two kinds of comments at the bottom of this Weibo post. In addition to expressing approval, another wave of comments was to turn over the past accounts of bloggers.
Tian Qi: "emmmmm, didn't the blogger ask the official big guy to let Jiang Li go before, saying that my Ah Huai's acting skills was embarrassing to the sky and crew? Now it's a fine score??"
Akita Wang: "watching the scene."
Face-bashing had also been discovered, and there was nothing more embarrassing than this. The popularity of the TV series was especially high. This Weibo post had been turned over more than 1, 000 articles and quickly became a big funny event in TV series related topics. However, the blogger of the forwarded post was also adamant and admitted directly what he had done before, and made it clear that he had turned black and pink to the youth, and insisted on turning pink even if his face hurt again.
Such a development was naturally accompanied by some rejoicing and others upset. There was no doubt that it was a good thing for all the cast members to see the TV series become viral, but for Fu Renzhou, this good thing was a discount to him.
He was the No. 1 male lead in this drama, but looking at the TV series related topics discussed on Weibo now, eight or nine of the ten articles were all about how Jiang Li was doing. As the male lead of the series, he could only watch the male No. 3 steal the limelight, which made Fu Renzhou angry. He gritted his teeth without holding back.
In fact, Fu Renzhou's performance in the series was not bad. Many scenes were singled out and there were some points to be noted. However, just as the brightness of stars could not surpass that of the sun, when he appeared at the same time as Gu Huai, he would inevitably be overshadowed by the brilliance of the latter.
The youth had undoubtedly helped Xiao Hong through this TV series. The happiest person for this result was probably Jingcen, his agent.
At present, the company definitely wouldn't have the idea to terminate the contract with the artist she was in charge of. When the youth was in the public heat, the company would definitely give the resources that should be given. What Jingcen had to do after that was to strive for as many resources as possible for her artist so as to get a good chance for the youth.
After all, even though the TV series "Thousand Words" was very popular, the popularity of the actors it brought up had a guaranteed period. The entertainment circle was very particular about freshness, and Jingcen knew this very well. If an artist didn't make persistent efforts to continue to climb while he was winning, he will soon be forgotten by audiences.
Jingcen was thinking about taking care of these things in her mind, but she didn't know at this moment that the company wouldn't want to cancel the contract with the youth now. Yes, but the youth would take the initiative to do it in turn in the near future.
After the TV series was finished, Gu Huai returned to C City, moved out of his original residence and moved to the Yan's residence the next day, which his agent did not know for the time being.
When Gu Huai entered the Yan's residence on the first day, he felt that he had been unanimously watched by all the people in there. Although the Yan clan did not really surround him, their gazes were filled with curiosity.
A fish stepped into a place filled with dragons, making the Yan family except Yan Lin and Ao Qi, feel surprised that the youth who came in did not show any signs of fear, like he didn't feel any pressure at all and only walked in naturally.
It was indeed a beautiful little fish... Although they couldn't see the bloodline of the youth, the dragons who hadn't seen the youth themselves could see through the human guise of the youth. He was a beauty with a silver tail.
Shiny, really pleasing to their dragons' aesthetics.
Yan Lin personally led the youth home, and the rest of the dragons present naturally did not dare to look brightly at him, only curious enough to sneak a few glances. However, as the youth drew closer, several dragons in the hall, who were relatively young and low levelled suddenly became flustered.
Somehow flustered, several dragons unconsciously took a step back, heart pounding, even slightly held their breaths.
This feeling was... scared?
As soon as they felt their emotions clearly, several relatively young dragons were immediately stunned. They were dragons. How could they be afraid of a small fish? Wasn't this a big joke of the century?
"... eh?" Gu Huai hesitated and stepped back. He noticed that his approach seemed to make some people in the hall not adapt, although he did not know the reason.
Yan Lin glanced at several of his young subordinates, then clasped the young man's white wrist and repeated what he had said before, " Ah Huai has the blood of the Kun Peng."
Gu Huai had listened to the story, but it was still a little unknown so. The other party told him earlier that he had the Kun Peng's blood in him, and then... ?
The young man's face was still puzzled, but at this moment, several young dragons who had just taken a step back now had a more obvious reaction. Instinctively driven, the young dragons swished and moved back a little, only to retreat to the corner.
Kun Peng! Scared these dragons to death... Although it was clear that the youth did not fully have the Kun Peng's bloodline, otherwise they would have run away under the pressure of their instincts even if they did not recognize what he was.
The Kun Peng ate dragons. This sentence was really not meant to be a joke. From the memory of their inheritance, these young dragons knew that this sentence was a real story in ancient times.
There was only one Kun Peng between heaven and earth, and it should have died a long time ago, but now their boss said that the young man beside him had the blood of Kun Peng. Of course it frightened the dragons.
"Squeak." The black balls on the youth's shoulders made a noise at this moment, which was directed at the young dragons. The general meaning could be understood as them bragging that their king was very powerful.
"Kun Peng is one of the few restrainers of the dragon clan. they are not good enough, so they are afraid of you." Yan Lin motioned with his eyes that his subordinates should stop shrinking away. He wanted the youth to live in the Yan's residence, so everyone in Yan's house had to show a welcoming attitude towards him.
Ao Qi took the initiative to walk over and push back the young generations to their original positions, smiling, "Don't be afraid, be bold, small fish won't eat you."
It was said that Kun Peng ate dragons, but Kun Peng did not only eat dragons. According to Ao Qi's knowledge, the Kun Peng in ancient times was actually omnivorous, except for eating dragons. The youth did not fully have the Kun Peng blood, so trained dragons didn't have this instinctive fear of the youth.
What small fish, this could be called "small fish"?? Several dragons who were pushed back to their original positions shivered in their hearts. If any fish with the Kun Peng's blood could be called small fish, was there still a big fish in the whole human world?!
For them, the youth could be said to exist like natural enemies. The dragons present were not hostile to the youth because of those distant feuds in ancient times. After all, it was a long time ago. It was only normal to be for the dragons that had not yet gotten their horns to be afraid of the youth.
Their boss had a crush on his natural enemy... Several young dragons at this time stood, thinking about this very difficult thing in their hearts.
Although there was an accident at the beginning, all the dragons in Yan's family finally showed warm welcome to the youth according to Yan Lin's meaning.
Earlier the Yan clan thought that the combination of dragon and fish was a bit magical, and now suddenly told them that the fish was actually part Kun... They could only say that the combination was really quite fantastic.
If anyone asked what the latest news in the entertainment circle in the past six months was, the acquisition of Donghuang Entertainment Brokerage Company by an enterprise under the name of Yan Jia could be regarded as one. However, there was another mystery that made insiders wonder. As one of the top ten entertainment and economic companies in China, Donghuang Entertainment had openly poached not only an artist but also the artist's agent.
Why was it that Donghuang Entertainment openly poached him? It was because the artist who took the initiative to cancel the agreement with the commercial film media signed a new agreement with Donghuang Entertainment as soon as he left the front door, which showed the twists and turns in the process.
Artists who terminated their contracts with a company in advance had to pay liquidated damages. The artist who left the commercial film media was no stranger to the public. It was Gu Huai who quickly gained popularity due to the TV series "Thousand Words".
The youth had no fame or popularity before shooting the TV series "Thousand Words". Even if the TV series became popular, according to the signed contract, the youth could not get enough money to pay the liquidated damages for early termination, so it was very obvious how the youth paid the liquidated damages.
What was DongHuang's intention?
Most people in the circle just felt confused now. This behavior was totally irrational. The youth had become popular recently. That was right, but people in the entertainment circle didn't care. Artists who suddenly became popular were often the fastest to cool down. When the audience's novelty wore out after a while, the entertainer may become old news.
Although commercial film media was not a big company in the industry, like other entertainment companies, the liquidated damages they set in the artist's contract were also quite considerable to prevent poaching and the like.
Although the price of the artist had recently gone up a lot, he still could only be counted as the third tier or so, and he was not comparable to a real big name artist with a good position. Donghuang Entertainment did not hesitate to dig up the foundation after being supporting, even paying the penalty for breach of contract.
There was really no way to come up with a reasonable explanation for this matter. Holding back doubts, all the people in the circle could only watch the development of the matter now.
But in fact, this matter was not as complicated as people thought, on the contrary, the reason why it happened was very simple.
At Yan's residence, Yan Lin and Gu Huai walked back to the room from the hot springs. Shortly after returning to the room, Yan Lin stretched out his hand to embrace the young man sitting on the edge of the bed in a white bathrobe, then narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to reward ChuChu?"
Yan Lin specially asked this question, which made Gu Huai wonder what kind of reward he would want first. However, Gu Huai hesitated for a moment and then nodded his head when he was embraced by his lover and watched him with serious eyes.
The other specially bought a brokerage company to provide him with resources and also poached his broker as he hoped. Gu Huai felt that it was very reasonable for his lover to ask for rewards.
"Um... what reward do you want?" Now that he had agreed, Gu Huai asked calmly at this time, anyway, his lover also wouldn't give him any difficult requirements.
But by the next second, Gu Huai was confused.
"ChuChu wants to touch Ah Huai's tail." Yan Lin replied seriously.
