Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 684: Ignition Effect, Guo Fan Riding on the Popularity

In the following three days, the phenomenal performance of Ignite continued.

Not to mention the astonishing 17,000 views of Pants Video within the site, the fact that there are at least ten hot searches every day makes other video platforms jealous.

Unlike some entries that become hot searches after only a dozen comments, the hot searches that are ignited are actually pushed to the top by netizens' discussions and likes.

Especially the plot in the last three days, with Li Xun defeating Fang Zhijing and Zhu Yun taking the initiative to confess to Li Xun, the discussion of this drama has been raised again.

The scene where Zhu Yun confessed her love to Li Xun was called the ceiling of confession scenes in idol dramas in 18 by netizens!

By the clear lake, the leaves are yellow, Li Xun and Zhu Yun are both wearing white clothes, people and scenery blend perfectly together, the scene is beautiful and romantic.

After watching this scene, fans of the drama couldn’t wait to go to Weibo to share their excitement, only to find that Weibo had crashed again!

That night, "Zhu Yun confesses to Li Xun" firmly occupied the top spot on the hot search list, and it was unshakable.

At the same time, the term "Zhang Jingyi's running-style acting" also became a hot search, because of the two running scenes when Zhu Yun, played by her, was preparing to confess her love to Li Xun.

One time was when she was confirming with Ren Di whether she and Li Xun were a good match. After getting the answer she wanted, Zhu Yun ran out with a smile on her face.

Another time, he got off the bus halfway because of a traffic jam and ran all the way to find Li Xun.

The audience commented that Zhang Jingyi was full of youthfulness in the running shots, and her joyful and bright smile was very contagious, as if she was acting.

Some netizens even joked that they hoped she could release a running acting tutorial for other young actors to learn from, which shows their love for her running scenes.

In fact, when the show was first aired, there was a trending search for "Zhang Jingyi looks so beautiful when she runs". However, after the scene in which Zhu Yun confessed her love to Li Xun was broadcast, Zhang Jingyi's "running-style acting skills" were once again widely recognized.

Many netizens said, "You have to run to see the person you like" and "You can feel the princess' selfless love even when she runs." Many viewers even claimed that they have become Zhang Jingyi's "running fans," which shows the audience's recognition of her.

It can be said that the person who has benefited the most from the broadcast of Ignite so far is Zhang Jingyi.

Lin Liben is already a top star. Even without Ignite, his popularity is still unmatched. The benefit of Ignite to him is limited. He even has many more underage fans because of Ignite, which has added a lot of burden to him.

But Zhang Jingyi is different.

Many fans who have watched the show posted comments online, saying that Zhang Jingyi was a great choice for the female lead.

I think she is very much like the heroine in a youth pain art film, very lovable, and people will like her as long as she stands there.

She will go and redeem the boy she loves, she will love people, and she is not the type of girl who is difficult to get along with. She makes people feel close and lovely.

Especially the feeling of a perfect match when she and Lin Li are in the same frame, which makes many drama fans feel that they are a perfect match!
But many people thought again that it was not surprising that the director was Lin Li himself.

Lin Li's control of the camera and the atmosphere he created were already evident in times of tragedy and adversity. When he was a teenager, he pushed the language of the camera to the extreme. Now that he is filming idol dramas, it is natural for him to do it with ease.

For example, the drunken scene of Zhang Jingyi, which is particularly popular among drama fans, everyone thinks that Lin Li is very good at filming it, and the atmosphere of love between the male and female protagonists is fully brought to the fore.

Under the soft moonlight and in the tipsy breeze, one can feel Zhu Yun's heartbeat and Li Xun's hypocritical doting. Li Xun's eyes stare at Zhu Yun quietly, with such affection that they can penetrate everything and fall on Zhu Yun's smile!

In addition, there is a piece of lens language.

In order to show that Li Xun cares about Zhu Yun and is jealous, when Zhu Yun and the sports student were in the school infirmary, Li Xun was wandering around on a bicycle. Although it was very blurry, careful netizens still noticed it and said in the barrage that Nanjing University was too detailed.

In the latest plot, the base was closed, and Ren Di, Fang Shumiao, Gao Jianhong, Zhu Yun, and Li Xun all had a hot pot together. Later, when everyone was chatting on the side of the road and imagining the future, there was a shot that particularly touched the audience.

At that time, everyone was facing the audience, only Li Xun had his back to the audience. This foreshadowed Li Xun's later imprisonment, indicating that other students had a bright future, but Li Xun did not.

In the trailer after this episode, the plot is that he will hurt someone and go to jail in order to avenge his sister.

While expressing regret, netizens lamented that it was a dimensionality reduction attack for Lin Li, a famous film director, to shoot a TV series. The camera language was really wonderful, and many shots were worth pondering over and over again.

The audience is now very conflicted. On the one hand, they don’t want to see Li Xun go to jail for beating someone, but on the other hand, they hope he will go to jail as soon as possible.

After all, only in this way can the plot be promoted and Li Xun and Zhu Yun be able to meet again after seven years and reconcile.

After the update of the day ended, the inexplicable entry "Li Xun preparing for pregnancy in prison" suddenly became a hot search, because many viewers joked that Li Xun's physical condition was too poor, he stayed up late every day, and his waist was not in good condition. He went to prison for seven years just to get his body back in shape and have a baby with Zhu Yun. This also made many netizens who had not watched the show yet laugh and cry.

In short, any point related to "Ignite" can easily become a hot search recently. This is the influence of the phenomenal hit drama.

At the same time, Ignite has been confirmed to be introduced by TV stations in Southeast Asian countries such as South Korea, Thailand and Vietnam.

South Korea's SBS TV station said that it will launch the online broadcast of "Ignite" within two weeks.

In Vietnam, local streaming platform VieON said it would spend a lot of money to acquire the broadcasting rights of Ignite.

In North America, the streaming platform Viki also stated that it is negotiating with Nanxun Culture on the broadcasting copyright issues, and Netflix also stated that it is evaluating the introduction of Ignite's broadcasting rights.

The response from abroad has also aroused the interest of many domestic viewers who have not yet joined the army of drama fans, which has further increased the popularity of Ignite. Fans of the drama and the original novel are delighted, and the Ignite effect is continuing to expand.

October 12th, Thursday.

The much-anticipated Chinese science fiction film "The Wandering Earth" held a release conference at the Aerospace Museum in the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology in Beijing.

Director Guo Fan, Liu Cixin, the original author of "The Wandering Earth", special guest star Wu Jing, and leading actors Qu Chuxiao, Li Guangjie, Wu Mengda, Zhao Jinmai and others all arrived at the scene.

At the press conference, flashes of light went off one after another and clicks were heard incessantly.

In the center of the stage, a huge backdrop was printed with the promotional poster of The Wandering Earth, which was colorful, majestic and eye-catching.

After the release conference officially began, the CCTV host, dressed in formal attire and holding a microphone, introduced today's theme with an enthusiastic opening speech.

“The first year of Chinese hard science fiction begins”

Lead actors including Guo Fan, Liu Cixin and Wu Jing took turns to come on stage to share the film's creative background and interesting stories during the filming process.

Below the stage, the media listened attentively and burst into warm applause from time to time.

There was no audience at this release conference, nor was it a premiere. It was just a release date announcement. At the same time, a group of main creative staff communicated and discussed film-related content with more than 100 media outlets and many aerospace practitioners on site.

The Wandering Earth is different from ordinary movies.

It has extraordinary significance for the entire Chinese film industry.

And the capital behind it is also very special.

There is no need to say much about China Film Corporation, everyone is familiar with it.

As for another company, Beijing Culture, many people may be unfamiliar with it.

But when it comes to the movies it has invested in, basically everyone has seen or heard of them.

This listed company has invested in a series of hit movies, among which "Wolf Warrior 2" caused a sharp increase in the market value of Beijing Culture. This year, Beijing Culture also bet on "Dying to Survive" and participated in the investment of "The Wandering Earth".

Beijing Capital Culture invested 1.075 million yuan in "The Wandering Earth" and is also its largest investor.

Speaking of which, Jingcheng Culture joined in only after Nanxun Culture invested in "The Wandering Earth". After receiving so much investment, Guo Fan became more ambitious and wanted to strive for excellence and do better.

When Song Ge of Beijing Culture learned that Lin Li also participated in the investment of "The Wandering Earth", he did not hesitate to invest 1.075 million to fill the remaining hole of The Wandering Earth.

Lin Li was a little amused when he heard the news. Guo Fan, the science fiction Daji, actually used his own name to attract investment. He is truly a master of begging.

At present, there are four main producers of "The Wandering Earth", namely China Film, Beijing Culture, Nanxun Culture, and Guo Fan's own company, Guo Fan Culture Media Co., Ltd.

There are 23 co-producers, including Ali Pictures, Penguin Pictures, Shonan Mango Entertainment, Yaolai Pictures, Shanghai Film Group, etc.

It can be said that if these subsequent companies had not known that Lin Li had entered the market, they would not have joined in so easily.

After all, these film companies had never dared to think of such a niche term as Chinese science fiction films before.

The Wandering Earth has been preheating since October and has now been scheduled. In order to increase attention, Guo Fan has made a lot of use of Lin Li.

After all, it is well known that the film and television dramas adapted from Lin Li's works, the film and television dramas produced by Nanxun Culture, including "Dying to Survive" which was supported by Lin Li, have all become hits.

And today, Guo Fan also did not miss the opportunity to ride on Lin Li's popularity.

About 20 minutes into the event, after answering a question from a media reporter, Guo Fan raised the microphone in his hand, looked around at the crowd and said:
"Today, someone who is very important to me is also here."

"It can be said that without him, there would be no film we have today."

"He is the teacher Nanxun whom I respect the most!"

"Please welcome Teacher Nan Xun to the stage!"

As Guo Fan's passionate voice fell, all the media in the audience stood up excitedly and looked around.

Lin Li is here?

There was no notification before!
At this moment, a tall and straight figure strode up from the side of the stage.

With a "swish", everyone at the scene focused their attention over there.
