Chapter 1130 Press Conference

At the wrap party, everyone was from the production crew. Su Yu didn't prepare any long speeches; she simply gave a brief overview of the upcoming broadcast schedule for the TV series.

The fact that you can see results so soon after finishing a task is something that most employees would be happy to see.

In addition, Su Yu and others also prepared some lucky draw activities at the wrap party, which made the whole banquet very enjoyable.

While Jiang Yuan and others were holding their wrap party, the first round of promotion for "You Are My Glory" had already been launched online.

The "Encounter Version" music video, specially prepared by Su Yu, quickly garnered a high number of views thanks to the song and the first teaser.

Feng Chengcheng was one of the viewers who immediately clicked to watch the music video.

As someone who has worked for many years, Feng Chengcheng originally thought she was long past the age of idolizing celebrities.

But a while ago, I happened to come across Jiang Yuan and Ye Xuanqi performing "So Many People in This World" on stage, and the emotions in their singing immediately touched Feng Chengcheng.

After doing some research, I realized that this song was actually a promotional piece for a TV series.

Since then, Feng Chengcheng would occasionally check if there were any new developments regarding this TV series.

During this process, Feng Chengcheng always felt that as time went by, her initial enthusiasm might fade away.

Unexpectedly, before the initial hype faded, "Honor of Kings" quickly announced its release date and released a series of promotional materials, making it seem like it caught up with the schedule.

Therefore, Feng Chengcheng naturally needs to pay close attention to this matter.

Before the music video started playing, Feng Chengcheng looked at the concept of "encounter" in the title and nodded to herself.

The reason I was so moved by the performance of "So Many People in This World" last time was because Jiang Yuan and the other person on stage portrayed the feeling of being able to meet again despite the vastness of the world.

Everyone experiences some unrequited love during their youth, and it's rare to see a reunion years later in real life. However, movies and TV shows can portray this kind of romance.

Feng Chengcheng wanted to watch this type of work to fill some of her emotional needs.

With this in mind, Feng Chengcheng watched the music video attentively.

As the music begins, the melody of the song is already very familiar, but when viewed in conjunction with the music video, it evokes a different and new feeling.

The first scene of the music video immediately caught Feng Chengcheng's eye; the campus scene with a retro filter instantly pulled people back to their youthful memories.

The scenes were filmed in the summer, and even through the screen, viewers can almost smell the essence of midsummer.

Coincidentally, in the TV series, Jiang Yuan and Ye Xuanqi didn't have many scenes as students.

However, because the filming looked so good at the time, Su Yu couldn't bear to waste the makeup, costumes, and sets, so she insisted on adding a lot of scenes for Jiang Yuan and Su Yu to film together.

The content actually filmed will not appear in the main storyline; it is merely a simple expansion and supplement.

Many clips in this "Encounter" version of the music video were edited from this part.

The first half of the show left many viewers drooling, completely resembling a campus romance drama.

This is so beautiful!

[Jiang Yuan and Ye Xuanqi playing high school students really doesn't feel out of place at all.]

[Huh? Will these really be in the final episodes? The synopsis makes it seem like it has nothing to do with school dramas, right?]

[It must be a fragment from a memory.]

Both of them were in such great shape, but with this background music, it just didn't feel that sweet.

[Of course it's not sweet. This music video seems to only depict the initial encounter and reunion; there won't be any more campus scenes later.]

-

Feng Chengcheng watched the music video with the subtitles displayed.

Just like the comments said, people's moods naturally improve when they see beautiful things.

Seeing Jiang Yuan and Ye Xuanqi together as students made Feng Chengcheng subconsciously feel that this is what a beautiful campus youth drama should be like.

It was only after noticing the discussions on the bullet screen that Feng Chengcheng suddenly realized this wasn't a campus drama.

Sure enough, the scene changed halfway through the song.

In the music video, Jiang Yuan and Ye Xuanqi gradually no longer appear as students, and they no longer appear together in the same frame. Instead, the video showcases the growth of both of their careers.

That is, scenes of Qiao Jingjing and Yu Tu at their respective work.

Through this section, Su Yu also wants to show the audience the different settings of the two characters.

The pairing of a glamorous superstar and an aerospace engineer has once again caught the audience's attention, and the mere mention of this profession has already made everyone feel that it's a perfect match.

It wasn't until the very end of the music video that Su Yu showed a scene of Jiang Yuan and Ye Xuanqi standing together on a nighttime street, gazing at each other.

Despite the short length of the music video, the editing techniques allowed the audience to clearly feel the sense of reunion between the two people who had not seen each other since their student days, after a long period of time.

This is exactly what Feng Chengcheng wanted to see before she opened the music video.

After watching the music video, Feng Chengcheng not only liked the song even more, but also became more determined to watch the drama series.

Many viewers shared the same sentiment as Feng Chengcheng, and coincidentally, at this time, the broadcasting platform of "Glory" also officially launched the TV series' reservation interface.

This just happened to attract that wave of viewers.

Jiang Yuan and Ye Xuanqi also paid a little attention to the TV series' pre-orders on the platform, along with Su Yu, at the wrap party.

It has to be said that the platform gave them quite a grand reception; as soon as the app was opened, a pop-up window automatically appeared for Jiang Yuan and the other person.

The pop-up window also directly used stills of Jiang Yuan and the other actor, which was very eye-catching.

"Click to take a look," Ye Xuanqi said to Jiang Yuan.

After clicking the pop-up window, the first official trailer for "You Are My Glory" will appear.

Unlike the music video, the trailer does have dialogue, and it very directly points out the reason why the male and female leads met.

Years later, a connection is formed through the game, followed by several fleeting scenes of the two appearing together. The different scenes and outfits reveal the interactions between the two at different stages of the story.

[A direct teaser on the splash screen, that's awesome!]

Although the production team is moving very quickly, the thought of having to wait another two weeks suddenly feels like a very long time.

[Their acting was really good; in just a few scenes, they completely embodied the character's essence.] [The rest was okay; I mainly wanted to see the two of them fall in love.]

[Quick, quick, I want to see a kissing scene!]

[Bring this up quickly! Can we release some more promotional material before it airs?]

-

After the trailer was released, the number of viewers who pre-ordered the broadcast of "You Are My Glory" quickly began to surge.

When Jiang Yuan and Ye Xuanqi checked the number of reservations at the wrap party, it had already exceeded 100,000, and this was less than an hour after the reservation page went live.

It's conceivable that there's still significant room for growth in the next two weeks.

Even some dramas that were originally scheduled to be released around the same time but had not yet been officially announced are secretly glad at this time, and have quietly chosen to change their release dates. It is still necessary to avoid the limelight.

Those who have already been officially announced to be launching around the same time as "Honor of Kings," or those that have already launched and are currently airing, are all wearing masks of anguish upon seeing how much popularity "Honor of Kings" has gained with its sudden release date announcement.

At the same time, the TV series also achieved very good results through the promotion of the game.

Although most gamers are male, romance dramas like this actually have a certain market among male audiences.

Not to mention that Jiang Yuan and Ye Xuanqi already had quite a few male fans, and the TV series they were filming this time was closely related to the game, which immediately increased the sense of immersion in the game.

It's naturally more popular than other types of romance dramas.

So far, all the trailers that were to be officially announced on the first day of "You Are My Glory" have been released, and the trend of various data is also very positive.

At the wrap party, Su Yu quickly made her way around the set before returning to Jiang Yuan and Su Yu's side with a wine glass in hand.

I glanced at the time; it was almost time to leave the wrap party.

However, Su Yu said she would show Jiang Yuan and the other person the drama-watching calendar that would be released the next day, so Jiang Yuan and the other person continued to sit in their seats and watch it for a while.

A TV series viewing calendar generally refers to a schedule that announces which days and how many episodes will be broadcast before a TV series airs.

Viewers can use this calendar to confirm their viewing schedule.

Jiang Yuan glanced at it and saw that the broadcast schedule for the first week of "Glory" was basically concentrated on weekends.

This arrangement is clearly designed to give viewers more time to binge-watch shows during their weekends.

In addition to weekends, Su Yu also arranged three update days on weekdays, but the number of episodes updated would be less compared to weekends.

"We want to keep the broadcast time within a month, so that everyone can finish watching the show at a relatively fast pace."

Su Yu also explained the situation to Jiang Yuan and the other person.

Jiang Yuan and the other person had no objections to the arrangement of this drama-watching schedule.

The main reason was that Jiang Yuan discovered that Su Yu had filled up her calendar for the two weeks leading up to the official release of the series.

From the live broadcast of the TV series' press conference to the release of various posters, as well as offline joint events and the airing of variety shows, it can be said that they filled the gap of the two weeks before the premiere.

After seeing this arrangement, Jiang Yuan and Ye Xuanqi inexplicably felt that they would have a lot of work to do in the next two days.

Thinking about it this way, for viewers and fans, there will be new content every day, so the first two weeks after the broadcast should not be too difficult to get through.

"Moreover, this way everyone can see new content every day, and the popularity should be maintained quite well."

After showing Jiang Yuan and the other person the TV series viewing calendar, Su Yu put away her phone, preparing to officially release the calendar the next day.

Jiang Yuan and Ye Xuanqi naturally supported Su Yu's actions.

"There's another perk we need to discuss with you guys after sharing the drama-watching schedule," Su Yu said to Jiang Yuan and the other person.

This is also the issue that Su Yu mainly wanted to discuss with Jiang Yuan.

Generally speaking, when a TV series achieves certain success after its broadcast, just like when a movie's box office keeps breaking records, the main creators usually distribute some benefits.

With the TV series' release date fast approaching, Su Yu and Jiang Yuan discussed the matter, hoping to finalize the related benefits as soon as possible.

"What are your thoughts?" Jiang Yuan asked Su Yu directly upon hearing this.

Let Jiang Yuan and Ye Xuanqi think of it themselves; they can't come up with any better welfare arrangements in a short time.

However, both of them felt that Su Yu, as a well-known director in the contemporary romance genre, should also be very skilled in this area, and perhaps he already had some ideas before consulting with them.

"One thing I've thought of is behind-the-scenes footage from our film set. We might release more of that later," Su Yu said after a moment's thought.

In Su Yu's opinion, sometimes the behind-the-scenes footage shot on set is actually better than the actual film.

And most importantly, Jiang Yuan and Ye Xuanqi's photos are all natural behind-the-scenes moments from the filming set.

Like some of the dramas Su Yu filmed before, the sweet behind-the-scenes footage was specially filmed on set by the male and female leads, which can be considered a kind of artificial industrial saccharin.

However, during the filming of "Glory", many behind-the-scenes stories were created that Su Yu felt were much more exciting than the script she had imagined, so there was no need to film the industrial saccharin.

“No problem.” Jiang Yuan and Ye Xuanqi thought about it for a moment and agreed immediately.

The two naturally knew that Su Yu's question was because some of the behind-the-scenes footage was beyond the scope of what is typical of male and female leads' professional interactions.

However, neither of them cared much about these things, nor did they intend to ask any further questions.

"Also, we might organize an online live stream for the two of you to watch the show together," Su Yu added after thinking for a moment.

"Is it the kind of live stream companion service?" Ye Xuanqi asked.

“Yes.” Su Yu nodded. “According to my plan, it will probably be arranged when the two of you have a lot of intimate scenes, so that the hype can be maximized.”

Su Yu also offered his perspective from a marketing standpoint.

For Jiang Yuan and the other person, as long as it's good for the TV series, it's not too much to ask, and they can cooperate.

Seeing how cooperative Jiang Yuan and the other person were, Su Yu directly revealed all the plans she had come up with.

Although Jiang Yuan and Ye Xuanqi were relatively easy to talk to, they still managed to filter out some of them.

A few days before the press conference was broadcast live, Jiang Yuan and Su Yu finalized the arrangements in this regard.

Time flew by, and the day of the press conference livestream arrived before we knew it.
