Chapter 600: Preparing for the Filming of "Latent"
"Louching" is a short story written by Tianjin writer Long Yi.
The full text has a total of more than 14,000 words, and was just published a few days ago.
Although his novella "Days Without Heroes" won the Chinese writer's Great Red Eagle Literature Award in 2003, Long Yi himself is actually not very famous and has been writing silently.
Moreover, the article "Louching" he just published did not cause any trouble, and he could hardly even see a splash.
But Bai Ningyuan knew that this short story, which was only more than 10,000 words, became popular later. The TV series remake in 2008 was very popular, with a compact plot, and there was suspense at the beginning. Sun Honglei's intellectual image and suspense assassination attracted the audience as soon as he started, and quickly got to the point. The gentle dialogue and the friendship between lovers were touching. In addition to the assassination, Yu Zecheng and Zuo Lan were very popular with the audience. In addition to the wonderful performance of the protagonist, the performance of each villain who was "green leaves" was also remarkable: the scheming and conspiring stationmaster Wu, the brave Ma Kui, the sinister and stingy Lu Qiaoshan, and the cruel and vicious Li Ya all played a role in setting off and embellishing.
It can be said that this "Luxing" combines the exciting plot with the vivid character creation, bringing TV series with such themes to a new level.
It is precisely because of understanding these that Bai Ningyuan asked Sun Ting to take the film and television copyright of this novel early.
After experiencing the rise of like a comet in 2005, Leku Entertainment, which is like a blowout, has entered 2006, except for a phenomenal variety show "Where Are We Going, Dad?", the split Leku Film and Television Investment and Production Company has not made any moves until March, as if it was falling into silence.
This made the industry confused. I wonder why Leku Film and Television, which was a high-yield product last year, has indeed become so low-key this year. Could it be that it can no longer produce any handy works?
For a time, there were many different opinions about Leku Film and Television in the industry and the media.
Since its launch on Mango TV on January 6, the ratings of "Where Are We Going, Dad" can be said to have been rising all the way. From the initial 3 o'clock to the last episode, it has soared to 7.11%, almost sweeping across the entire Friday variety show. No, not just Friday, but there is no one of the variety shows released in China that can reach the height of "Where Are We Going, Dad".
The six cute elves, with their outstanding performances and personalities, suddenly won the love of domestic audiences. Many people, especially female audiences, almost shut up the names of the cute kids in "Where Are We Going, Dad". Reports about them in the media are common. It seems that in an instant, the whole of China has entered the era of "cute kids of the whole nation".
The cute kids became popular, and Zhang Xueyou and Yu Chengqing, who had already entered a period of decline in their careers, instantly rejuvenated their second spring. Li Ning and his company were already familiar with everyone, and now his product performance has reached a new level. Li Ning brand products have also become the first choice for many audiences of Aiwu and Wu when purchasing sports products, with sales volume increasing by 70% compared with last year.
As for Hu Jun and Fan Ming, various film appointments made them feel overwhelmed. With their popularity now, they have become the first object to consider when selecting actors in many film and television dramas.
However, the one who benefits the most is Wu Xiubo. With the popularity of "Where Are We Going, Dad?", the audience seemed to have accepted this careful and patient cute uncle at once. His popularity suddenly reached a very terrifying level and became a standard template for many female friends when choosing a spouse.
Wu Xiubo, who was not famous in the circle, seemed to have become a national darling all of a sudden. Various film contracts and endorsements also came to him, which almost caught him off guard.
The popularity of cute dads and cute kids has made them the most popular targets of advertisers. Not to mention Zhang Xueyou and others, who were originally very famous, let alone Wu Xiubo, his endorsement fee has also suddenly increased, and he has almost reached the level of a second-tier star. His popularity is amazing.
In addition to these six celebrities, father and son and advertisers, Mango TV also benefited a lot. With this popular variety show, Mango TV once again settled in the position of the second brother of domestic TV stations, and suppressed Tomato TV, which was originally a fierce attack on its position as Running Man, again.
You know, after "Where Are We Going, Dad?", the one that will be held soon is Mango TV's ace program Super Girl. The unstoppable momentum in 2005 is still vivid in my mind, so at least for a long time, Mango TV has a feeling of restlessness.
"Where Are We Going, Dad?" suddenly became a feast for the whole nation.
It is precisely because of the popularity of "Where Are We Going, Dad" that more viewers have paid more attention to Leku Film and Television. Seeing that "Where Are We Going, Dad" has come to an end, Leku Film and Television, which was famous for its high-quality and high-yield last year, still has no action, which will inevitably make more viewers feel confused.
In fact, the reason why Leku Film and Television has not taken action for a long time is that it is because of the split and reorganization, and the second is that the new leader of Leku Film and Television has not yet taken place. Although the Human Resources Department has submitted several alternative lists, after submitting it to Bai Ningyuan, it has not been recognized by Bai Ningyuan.
After a while, the head of the sect became a little difficult to give birth.
Bai Ningyuan was also a little anxious because he had not yet released his works. He thought that "Luxing" seemed to be published this year, so since February, Bai Ningyuan has been paying attention to the news of "Luxing" almost every day. His hard work pays off. Finally, he waited for Long Yi to release "Luxing", and immediately asked Sun Ting to purchase the film and television adaptation rights of "Luxing".
Before this, although Leku Entertainment had filmed TV series, those TV series were more inclined to the online drama model. Even after they were launched on major satellite TV stations, they still achieved good results, but it was difficult to conceal their lack of connotation.
So, strictly speaking, this upcoming "Luxing" is the first standard TV series of Leku Entertainment in the true sense.
That night, Bai Ningyuan approved this project with a big pen and invested 20 million yuan. The TV series "Luxing" was officially launched within Leku Film and Television!
The third update today!
Sorry, I want to take a day off. I am in a sluggish state these two days. I believe everyone can feel it. Everyone feels uncomfortable reading it. I write it even more uncomfortable. Give me a day to think about the future plot direction. I have worked hard until now. I don’t want this book to collapse. Please forgive me!
Although I will ask for leave tomorrow, there will be an update to the evening. It was written in advance today. At least, it must be done until it is not interrupted!
Chapter completed!
