Chapter 553: The New Drama "The Legend of Zhen Huan" Stands on the Altar

For the next period of time, the popularity of "Underground Traffic Station" continued to remain at a very high level.

It was not until two weeks later, in November, that the popularity of "Underground Traffic Station" slowly dropped.

However, during this period, some major events also happened in the entertainment industry, such as the filming of the new drama "Night Palace" by the well-known director Jiang Bei.

Some dramas are popular before they are broadcast, while this "Night Palace" is popular before it is filmed.

Before the filming of the drama began, there were already many discussions on the Internet.

The reason for this situation is related to Jiang Bei, the director who has won the first-class award, but the most important thing is the role played by the original fans.

"Night Palace" is a classic online article with millions of readers. Its author is "Feng Guang", one of the leading figures in the current online article industry.

"Feng Guang", a platinum-level supreme writer of online articles, has become popular since his debut. The first book was a big hit. He has now written the eighth book. Every book is a big hit, and it is also a hit outside the circle.

To a certain extent, he has been regarded as the first person in online articles by many people, including official agencies.

This title "Feng Guang" has never been acknowledged, but it cannot stop others from calling him "the king of online literature".

And this "Night Palace" is one of "Feng Guang's" representative works.

"Night Palace" is a classic-level popular book in the online literature circle. It has a high popularity in itself. Coupled with the discussion of "Feng Guang", the king of online literature, and the blessing of Jiang Bei, the big director in the entertainment industry, many people are particularly looking forward to this new drama.

The story must be an excellent story.

The director is also a top director in the circle.

The screenwriter is directly the author himself, and his creative ability can be called "king".

Such a top-notch TV series in all aspects, everyone has no doubt that the ratings of this drama can reach 3%!

Many people secretly feel sorry that this "Night Palace" seems to have the potential to be a big hit, and it is very likely to surpass Jiang Bei's previous drama "Palace Temple". If "Night Palace" can be filmed and broadcasted early, and put in the same schedule as "Underground Traffic Station", it may be able to rub out particularly intense sparks.

Of course, the performance of "Underground Traffic Station" is too explosive, and the ratings have almost broken the ceiling of three. Unless the ratings break four, it will not be able to beat "Underground Traffic Station". Although "Night Palace" is very strong, it is likely to be inferior to "Underground Traffic Station".

However, even if it is not as good as "Underground Traffic Station", at least it can make "Underground Traffic Station" feel some threats, so that it will not be the only one, and other dramas will become a foil.

On Weibo, platinum writer 'Feng Guang' occasionally releases some shooting highlights to guide the popularity online.

As the most successful commercial writer, 'Feng Guang' is too accurate in controlling the emotions of the audience and readers.

Every time he releases a tidbit, coupled with some text, it can make netizens discuss it, maintaining the popularity of "Night Palace", and also making this popularity steadily increase.

November, 12th, morning, 10 o'clock.

Beijing, Chang'an Building.

Brilliant Entertainment Company, in Tan Yue's office.

Tan Yue sat behind his desk and checked his ranking on the list of first-line public figures.

As expected, after the finale of "Underground Traffic Station", the popularity remained at a very high level for more than a week, which also allowed Tan Yue's ranking to steadily improve.

Tan Yue looked at the computer screen, where his ranking on the list of public figures was shown.

Name: Tan Yue.

Level: First-line.

Ranking: 4.

Tan Yue has officially entered the top five of the first-line public figures list, ranking fourth.

Tan Yue's eyes slowly moved to the three people in front of him.

The first one is Huang Ming, who can be said to have firmly controlled the first place on the list of first-line public figures. The gap between the second place and Huang Ming should be quite large.

The second one is Cai Zi, who debuted as a child star. When she was a child, she was very popular in China. Many middle-aged and elderly people liked her very much. But later, when Cai Zi grew up, her development was hindered. She looked cute and was very popular when she was a child, but this cute look was not suitable when she grew up.

In a TV series, this face can hardly bear the weight of the protagonist, even the female supporting role can overshadow her. Gradually, Cai Zi's childhood accumulation was almost consumed. According to the trajectory of ordinary child stars, Cai Zi at this time can slowly withdraw from the core of the entertainment industry.

But Cai Zi is a girl with a very tenacious character. She knows that her appearance is not amazing enough, so she works hard to practice her acting skills. Whenever she has time, she goes to various drama troupes to learn from her predecessors. After years of hard work, Cai Zi has transformed and starred in a TV series, in which she plays the second female role. Her acting skills directly beat the male and female protagonists in the play, and even overshadowed many old actors, allowing her to directly win the Best Supporting Actress Award at the Magnolia Award that year.

After that, Cai Zi rushed into the film and television industry with her superb acting skills.

Her superb business ability has regained the recognition of the market and capital.

In just a few years, she has been ranked at the top of the list of first-line public figures.

Ranked third is Luo Ming, who started out as an internet singer. When he was in school, he showed musical talent far beyond that of ordinary people. He composed his own songs and posted them online, thus "producing and selling his own songs". With his outstanding talent, he attracted the attention of millions of netizens on the Internet and also attracted the attention of Guangmei Entertainment Company.

After being admitted to university, Luo Ming signed with Guangmei Entertainment Company.

This caused quite a stir at the time.

You know, even for professional students, it is not easy to sign with a first-class entertainment company when they graduate.

However, Luo Ming, who was just an ordinary second-tier university at the time, did it in his freshman year, which made many people envious.

Compared with the ups and downs of Huang Ming and Cai Zi, Luo Ming's career development can be said to be smooth sailing.

Tan Yue knew the information of the three public figures ahead of him.

In the end, his eyes were fixed on the name of Huang Ming, who ranked first.

Huang Ming has been ranked first on the list of first-line public figures for several consecutive months. He has a great influence in China and has tens of millions of fans. If you count his popularity among passers-by, it will be in the billions.

Cai Zi and Luo Ming are both excellent, but it is obvious that these two people have not been able to shake Huang Ming's position for several consecutive months, which shows that Huang Ming is much stronger than the two.

Many people have been saying online that Huang Ming is about to become the seventh top public figure in China.

Tan Yue feels that if he wants to be on the list of top public figures, Huang Ming will be a difficult hurdle.

Taking a deep breath, Tan Yue shook his head slightly and stopped thinking about it.

He has confidence in himself, and he is full of confidence.

Huang Ming is indeed excellent, but is he bad? He has a lot of trump cards!

Leaning back on the chair, picking up the teacup, Tan Yue took a sip of tea and moistened his throat.

"Underground Traffic Station" has ended, and Tan Yue will choose to shoot a new drama next.

This time, he is not as entangled as when thinking about what drama to shoot after the finale of "Baolian Lantern". As early as "Underground Traffic Station" was not finished, Tan Yue had some ideas about the new drama he was going to shoot.

As for the new drama, he plans to shoot "The Legend of Zhen Huan" next!

The main reason for choosing this drama is not because of anything else, but simply because Tan Yue likes this drama more.

Tan Yue had thought about filming this drama before, but at that time he knew little about filming TV dramas. If he filmed "The Legend of Zhen Huan" directly, it was very likely that nothing would be produced, and it was possible that it would collapse directly.

After all, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was a classic that many netizens in the past called the ceiling of palace fighting dramas.

If it was filmed badly, Tan Yue himself would not feel good.

Now choosing to film "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is that Tan Yue feels quite confident.

After the training of the two dramas "The Lotus Lantern" and "Underground Traffic Station", Tan Yue's control over the script and rhythm of TV dramas is much better than at the beginning.

Relevant information about "The Legend of Zhen Huan" emerged in Tan Yue's mind.

Zheng Xiaolong had never filmed a costume drama before directing "The Legend of Zhen Huan". He wanted to film a critical Qing palace drama for the audience, which was different from the original one, hoping that the audience could see the darkness of feudal society from this drama, including the misery of people living in feudal society.

"The Legend of Zhen Huan" is adapted from the novel "The Legend of Zhen Huan in the Harem". The story itself is set in the imaginary Great Zhou Dynasty, and the adaptation chose the "grounding" approach.

Screenwriter Liu Lianzi watched "Golden Branches Desire" and felt that although the plot was brilliant, the etiquette was not rigorous enough. She began to write a palace story of her own at home, hoping to take into account all aspects such as plot, history and etiquette. The novel was written intermittently for three years before it was completed, and the script was made for a year and a half, with more than a dozen versions. In order to "ground" the original fictional Great Zhou Dynasty, Liu Lianzi chose the Qing Dynasty, which had the strictest constraints on human nature. The biggest difficulty in the adaptation was to learn to be ruthless and delete many characters and plots in the original work.

It was precisely because many characters in the original work were deleted many times in the script that the TV series version of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was successful.

Tan Yue didn't have to revise the script repeatedly like the screenwriter of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" in the previous life, which took several years, but he couldn't copy all of "The Legend of Zhen Huan". Just like "The Legend of Zhen Huan" had to "land", filming "The Legend of Zhen Huan" in this world also needed to land.

The earth and the world now are similar to parallel time and space.

All dynasties are roughly the same, with Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing and then the Republic of China, but the things that happened in each dynasty are very different.

For example, in the Tang Dynasty, Tan Yue found Li Shangyin through history books, but he couldn't find any trace of Li Bai after searching the entire history.

In the Song Dynasty, Tan Yue learned that Su Zhe was a great writer at the time, but he couldn't find any trace of Su Shi at all.

This situation happened a lot in every dynasty.

The Qing Dynasty was even more severely affected by this problem, so the script of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was much more complicated to write than "Underground Traffic Station".

Tan Yue took out a notebook and a pen from the drawer of his desk and prepared to start writing the script of "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

The plot of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" came to my mind.

In the first year of Yongzheng's reign, the fierce battle for the throne ended, and the fourth prince Yinzhen succeeded to the throne, with the reign title of Yongzheng. At that time, the country was peaceful and the people were safe, and the politics was clear, but under the peaceful appearance, an undercurrent was ready to move.

In the harem, Concubine Hua and the Queen were in a confrontation, and various forces were involved, which was extremely dangerous. Seventeen-year-old Zhen Huan participated in the selection with her good sisters Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong. She came with the idea of ​​filling in the numbers, but she was favored by the emperor, and finally the three of them were selected together.

This can be said to be a female-centered novel in the guise of a "palace drama", telling the story of the heroine Zhen Huan, who grew from an innocent girl to a generation of queen mother who is good at seeking power.

In his previous life, when Tan Yue was following this drama, he was so serious. It was also because of this drama that he had a good impression of Sun Li. He also had a good impression of Sun Li's husband Deng Chao.

Tan Yue picked up a pen and wrote down the background of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and the simple relationship between the characters in his notebook, and then began to create the plot of the first episode.

"In 1722, Prince Yong Yinzhen defeated his opponent with the support of Nian Gengyao and Longkodo, ascended the throne, and changed the reign to Yongzheng. Nian Gengyao's sister Hua Fei was beautiful and domineering. She was favored for several years. Relying on the power of her mother's family, she competed with the queen. The emperor was busy with state affairs and had not entered the harem for several days. The queen mother, for the sake of the country and the heirs, advised the emperor to hold a three-year selection. Hua Fei arranged the relevant matters according to the order, but secretly worried that she would fall out of favor. Zhen Huan, the eldest daughter of Zhen Yuandao, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, was born with beauty. Although she was among the selections, she was unwilling to marry into the imperial family and looked forward to the appearance of someone who treated her sincerely."

When Tan Yue was writing the script of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", the door of the office was knocked.

Tan Yue put down the pen in his hand, looked up at the door of the office, and said, "Please come in."

After Tan Yue finished speaking, the door of the office was pushed open.

Lin Qingye walked in.

Seeing Lin Qingye, Tan Yue smiled and said, "Director Lin is here, sit down."

As he said that, Tan Yue pointed to the chair opposite him.

Lin Qingye nodded with a smile, greeted Tan Yue, and then sat on the chair.

Tan Yue smiled and said, "Director Lin, what's the matter?"

Lin Qingye subconsciously glanced at the notebook in front of Tan Yue, which seemed to be a script.

Script?

Mr. Tan wrote a new script?

Thinking of this possibility, Lin Qingye's heart suddenly shook!

After the preparation of "The Lotus Lantern" and "Underground Traffic Station", Mr. Tan's script is now a golden sign in the circle.

As long as it is said that Mr. Tan has written a new script and wants to recruit actors for auditions, it is estimated that most of the entertainment industry will be shocked.

A "Lotus Lantern" with a rating of 3.37% and a "Underground Traffic Station" with a rating of 3.93% are enough to push Mr. Tan to the altar of the TV drama industry.

As for how long Mr. Tan can stand on this altar in the future, no one knows.

But now, he is indeed standing on the altar!
