Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, starting with the strategy of 95 flowers to counterattack

Chapter 52: Gentlemen of East District 8 (asking for monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, and follow-up reading)
Meng Ziyi lay on the bed, her face flushed with shame and anger.

What happened? Before I could react, I took the photo and sent it over?

I'm wearing so little!

She just wanted to prove that Gu Yang was wrong...

It was just a few seconds, he shouldn't have seen it, right?

Phew~that was close!

Of course Gu Yang saw it and saved it.

Of course, this kind of photo should be appreciated alone in the dead of night.

At this time, Meng Ziyi was still struggling in bed, praying that Gu Yang had not seen this photo.

At the same time, I feel a little regretful.

Isn’t it for people to see such a good figure?
I can’t show it to others, but Gu Yang is my younger brother.

We are one of them, so it’s okay to look at it.
Oh, I wouldn't have withdrawn it if I had known.
Seeing that he didn't reply for a long time, I started to get anxious and sent him another message.

"what are you doing?"

"Very white, ah, no, I don't see anything!"

"..."

"Sister, you're at a disadvantage. Send me a picture of yourself! If you want to be naked, I want to see your abs~"

"?????"

……

April 11, 2017, Shanghai, press conference.

Zhang Han stood under the spotlight in a custom-made suit, with the giant LED screen behind him playing the trailer of "Gentlemen of East District 8".

He attached great importance to his first TV series as director, and specially invited relevant persons in charge from Mango TV, Youku TV, and the main creators to hold this release conference.

The atmosphere was lively and everyone was full of confidence.

Zhang Han raised the microphone to the audience of more than 300 media outlets, his voice trembling slightly with excitement: "This drama is the result of my ten years of hard work. From writing to directing to starring, every shot has been polished hundreds of times."

"I want to prove that Chinese male ensemble dramas can have both depth and warmth."

"And I, Zhang Han, am not only an actor, but also a director!"

"'Gentlemen of East District 4' will premiere on Mango TV and Youku on April 15th! Thank you for your support!"

"..."

He is full of confidence in this TV series, and his rise is unstoppable!

On that day, #Zhang Han's self-directed and self-acted "Gentlemen of East District 8" is coming# and ranked third on Weibo's hot search.

Zhang Han’s fans were so excited that their endocrine system was disrupted and they left messages one after another.

"Ahhh, brother finally realized his dream! From actor to director, he made a gorgeous transformation. Ten years of hard work is what our Han is all about! The suit in the trailer killed me and I was completely hooked. President Tongyu, please kill me! #东八区必爆#"

"Who understands, my family! I burst into tears when I saw the line 'a coming-of-age ceremony for Chinese men'! Brother Han is really serious about making a male ensemble drama. He is no longer the director of the pond. He is now the director Han who can carry the banner of domestic dramas!"

"From 'My Sunshine' to 'Eastern District 8', Zhang Han has completed his transformation from idol to creator."

"As a long-time fan who's been following the series since 'Let's Watch Meteor Shower Together,' I was truly moved to tears today. My brother said every shot was polished hundreds of times, which shows how well this series is made. I'm going to be watching it live on Mango TV and Youku on April 15th!"

"I thought it was just the same old overbearing CEO trope, but the trailer showed brotherhood, career arcs, and the long shots of the Bund at night are incredible! Director Zhang, please accept my knee. From now on, domestic dramas will depend on you!"

"..."

There was a lot of applause online!
...Evening, in Shanghai, at a KTV
"Hanzi, the station has given you all its best resources this time," said Li Jianguo, director of the Mango TV Editorial Office. "What does it mean to take over 'In the Name of the People'? That show's single-episode ratings are over 7%, and its national online broadcast volume has exceeded 10 billion. If your show can't keep up, the audience will be critical of it."

This time, Zhang Han is determined to make a desperate move and mobilize all his resources.

He has a good relationship with Mango TV. In order to get the prime time, he made great concessions on price and copyright.

For him, this drama is his transitional work and the starting point to prove his directing ability, and its influence is more important.

"Don't worry, Brother Li," Zhang Han said with a forced smile, "Are you still not confident in my acting skills? Come, let me toast you. Thank you so much for your help this time."

Li Jianguo suddenly laughed: "Okay, just because of the 3.5% viewership ratings you brought to Mango TV with 'Accidentally in Love', I'm going to take a gamble this time. Don't let me down."

"Don't worry, Xiao Wang, tell the girls to come in and arrange a few more for Brother Li..."

"Hey? No, no... Then just order less, three will be enough."

"That Xiaohan wants a big bear..."

……

Late at night, Sahara Desert

"Hey Fatty, do you know there's a thing called jet lag? It's three in the morning, someone's asleep in the room, and I have to run out into the desert to answer a phone call..."

"Old Gu, the new drama you wrote for Zhang Han is going to be released this Saturday!"

Gu Yang woke up instantly.

"Okay, let me arrange a few things, and you find someone reliable to do them."

"Find some online influencers to help hype up his new drama! Praise him as much as possible, the higher the better..."

"Hasn't the company hired some internet celebrities? Help him advertise and brag about it..."

"Then find a few people. When his TV series comes out, collect some footage and make a few videos. I'll discuss with them how to edit it..."

"No, Gu Yang, am I your brother, or is he your brother? Why are you so nice to him?"

"..., Fatty, you'll understand when the time comes!"

"By the way, how's the crew going? Has the director got it done?"

"Don't worry about that. Director Li Qingrong has already agreed! She's currently filming 'Grown Up' and will be joining the crew at the end of this month."

"Okay, then you keep an eye on it and report if anything happens..."

There were originally two directors for the drama "Go Go Squid!", Li Qingrong and Xiang Weijing.

But the person who actually filmed it was Taiwanese director Li Qingrong.

She is good at filming idol dramas. In addition to this one, she has also filmed "My Girlfriend is a Villain", "Can't Hide Secretly", and "Hush, The King is Hibernating".

Zhou Ye's "Don't Fall in Love with Me" is also her work.

The other director should be more of a producer, so Gu Yang did not invite him.

Anyway, the script is there and the plot of the previous life is known, so there is no need to configure it so completely.

The two chatted casually for a while about the formation of the crew, and then Gu Yang hung up the phone and went back to his room to continue sleeping.

He is very much looking forward to Zhang Han's TV series being released soon because it is related to the reward for his mission.

……

On the second day, the popularity of Zhang Han’s new drama became even more exaggerated!
