Chapter 337: My Own Swordsman Is Now on Air!

It is worth mentioning that the launch time of "Wulin Gaiden" is indeed within a few days of "The Legend of Xianyun".

These two dramas are on the same schedule.

People in the industry admire Xu Ye's courage.

Obviously, Xu Ye took the initiative this time and wanted to compete with Jade Bird Entertainment.

Since "Wulin Gaiden" starts airing before "Xian Yun Zhuan", many people in the industry will focus on "Wulin Gaiden" tonight.

Tonight, music critic Jing Xiyue is sitting on the sofa in the living room at home.

Jing Xiyue went home because she was called by her parents for another blind date.

Since she was in a hurry to get home, she didn't bring her tablet with her. Thinking that "Wulin Gaiden" would be broadcast tonight, she simply watched it on the TV at home.

The TV broadcast rights of "Wulin Gaiden" were sold to Changan Satellite TV, an old acquaintance.

This Changan Satellite TV is the channel of Ancheng TV. It ranks among the top ten in the country, neither high nor low.

After all, the top few on the TV station are all very strong, they are all in the top ten, and the gap between them and the top three is also very big.

Changan Satellite TV relies on its profound cultural heritage and has a stable audience, but other than that, it does not have any flagship programs.

It was only last year that the program "Tomorrow's Superstars" became a big hit.

Jing Xiyue searched through the TV channels and found Chang'an TV, which she had never watched before.

Her mother placed a plate of fruit on the coffee table and said, "How was the blind date today?"

"That's it." Jing Xiyue said casually.

"You are no longer young..."

As soon as she heard her mother start nagging again, Jing Xiyue said quickly: "Mom, please stop talking, I have to work."

"Don't you write music reviews? Does watching TV count as work?" My mother asked unhappily.

Jing Xiyue argued: "I can also change my career to be a film critic. These days, self-media can't do anything. Okay, okay, stop talking and concentrate on watching TV."

Jing Xiyue's mother also sat on the sofa, and the mother and daughter simply started watching together.

Soon, when the last commercial ended, Wulin Gaiden started broadcasting.

The screen was completely black at first, then a typing cursor appeared, and text appeared on the screen one by one.

"Long time no see, where have you been?"

"Jianghu."

"Where is Jianghu?"

"I'll show you..."

Looking at these words and listening to the familiar music, Jing Xiyue finally matched the picture and music.

The opening song started.

Then the screen turned again and came to a computer interface from a long time ago.

There are icons on the desktop with names such as "Producer, Director Producer" and so on.

"This way of introduction is a bit interesting." Jing Xiyue thought to herself.

These days, many cast and crew lists appear directly in the title sequence without any design, which is quite creative.

After that, click on the icon with the mouse, and an introduction to the crew will appear, as well as the characters in the play.

As the characters in the play appeared one after another, the singing also started.

"Hey, brother……"

Jing Xiyue said proudly, "I guessed it right!"

When the opening theme song of Wulin Gaiden was released, she had guessed that the ding-dong sound in it was the computer prompt sound, and now it turned out to be true.

Just looking at the title, Jing Xiyue felt that this drama seemed different from what she expected.

There is also a picture in the middle, Wu Tai'an has a bald head, a suit and sunglasses.

"Ah? Isn't this a costume drama? Why are there modern costumes? Could it be time travel?" Jing Xiyue thought to herself.

But she was right. There were many plots in this drama, one of which was about Mo Xiaobei traveling to a modern film and television city.

After the opening credits were played, a chapter number for the episode actually appeared.

[In the first episode, Heroine Guo angrily smashes up Tongfu’s store, and shopkeeper Tong cleverly tries to get people lost. 】

Jing Xiyue thinks this is quite interesting and very old-fashioned.

The scene came to the entrance of Tongfu Inn.

At first, Xing Yusen and Xing Baotou walked out of the door of Tongfu Inn, and Tong Xiangyu pulled Lao Xing to prevent him from leaving.

Through the dialogue between the two, the characters of the male and female evil spirits and the background of the Seven Heroes Town were brought out.

Jing Xiyue felt that the quality of the entire TV series was extremely good.

It doesn't feel shoddy at all, it's very refined.

Especially the Guanzhong dialect spoken by Tong Xiangyu makes people feel quite down-to-earth.

Jing Xiyue gradually fell into the plot.

Later, Lao Xing said that he saw a male and female evil spirit and looked for an opportunity to escape. As a result, the background sound was the roar of an engine.

There were also some special effects for Lao Xing in the picture, and afterimages were created when he ran.

Jing Xiyue was stunned for a moment.

What an outrageous dubbing.

As expected of you, Xu Ye.

Afterwards, a group of people from Tongfu Inn returned to the inn and talked about the male and female evil spirits.

But while they were chatting, two people wearing night clothes had already arrived outside the inn.

Bai Zhantang was pretending that he was not afraid, but a voice sounded from the roof, scaring everyone so much that they hid under the table.

Jing Xiyue laughed at this scene, and even her mother beside her also smiled.

At this moment, the scene changed to the roof.

There were two people wearing night clothes on the roof. Jing Xiyue immediately deduced that these two people were male and female.

Making a TV series is also about telling stories. Some information needs to be guessed by the audience, and some cannot.

Jing Xiyue felt that Xu Ye handled this part very well and naturally.

On the roof, the two female warriors chatted.

Jing Xiyue's mother said: "This is not a male and female evil, aren't these two females?"

The actor who played Guo Furong was recommended by Du Chonglin, and she is an unknown little actor.

This actor played Guo Furong's energy very well.

At this time, the person next to Guo Furong took off the black cloth covering his face.

"Ah?"

Jing Xiyue was surprised.

Because this person turned out to be Chen Yuxin!

"Sister Chen actually came to guest star, this is too surprising!"

There are too many roles that can guest star in the drama "Wulin Wai Zhuan".

Xu Ye basically arranged them all. As long as the performance was not particularly bad, they would perform well after some on-site training.

The filming of this drama was like playing, which was different from the filming of other dramas.

Chen Yuxin's performance was quite similar.

She played Guo Furong's maid Xiaoqing.

Jing Xiyue also had doubts in her heart.

Looking at the appearance of Guo Furong and Xiaoqing, they don't look like bad people.

Then soon, the plot continued to move forward.

Guo Furong said to Xiaoqing: "Didn't we also gain a lot along the way?"

Xiaoqing asked: "What did we gain?"

Guo Furong smiled proudly: "Didn't we save the bride in Zuojiazhuang?"

Xiaoqing smiled: "She didn't ask you to save her."

Guo Furong said: "Do you still need to beg? Didn't you see how sad she was crying? She cried like this before she got married. If she really got married, wouldn't her life be ruined?"

As soon as this part was finished, the camera returned to the inn.

Tong Xiangyu said slowly to everyone: "The Zhao family girl from Zuojiazhuang is such a nice person, but she is a little ugly. She is so excited to get married that her eyes are filled with tears."

Lao Bai followed up and said: "While crying, the male and female evil spirits fell from the sky and beat the groom violently, saying that we are doing justice for the heaven while beating him."

Seeing this part, Jing Xiyue's side laughed.

She didn't laugh yet, but her mother laughed first.

"What the hell, this script really looks like something written by Xu Ye! It turns out that it is not doing justice for the heaven at all, but doing good things with bad intentions!"

Jing Xiyue was amused.

She finally understood why these two people were called the male and female evil spirits.

Afterwards, Guo Furong on the roof continued: "If we didn't take action, wouldn't the little beggar in Shibalipu be burned to death by the old villain?"

The previous part had been foreshadowed, and Jing Xiyue knew that there would definitely be a reversal in this part.

Sure enough, in the inn, Bai Zhantang said: "Doctor Xue from Shibalipu is such a good person. He was treating a beggar with cupping that day."

Tong Xiangyu followed up and said: "Just when they lit the fire, the male and female evil spirits fell from the sky and beat them up, saying that they were doing justice for the heavens."

On the roof, Guo Furong continued: "And when we were in Xiliang River, if we were a step later, the people on that boat would have been killed by river pirates."

Xiaoqing asked in confusion: "Miss, how do you know that they were river pirates?"

Guo Furong said confidently: "Have you ever seen a ferryman who doesn't charge money?"

In the inn.

Tong Xiangyu said: "Uncle Ge on Xiliang River is such a good person. As long as he doesn't fish, he will go to ferry people across the river for free. That day, just as he loaded a boat of people, the male and female evil spirits fell from the sky and beat him up..."

One part on the roof, one part in the inn.

The switching of this part of the camera made Jing Xiyue laugh unstoppably.

After that, Guo Furong set her sights on Tongfu Inn, which she thought was a black shop.

When she knocked on the door of Tongfu Inn, everyone in the inn was frightened.

In this section, Bai Zhantang was so scared that he told everyone's identity information.

Here, it is an introduction to the identities of everyone in the inn.

"It's so funny, Bai Zhantang is too cowardly!"

Jing Xiyue felt that this section was really funny.

In the end, everyone revealed Bai Zhantang's name.

It was obvious that everyone had just agreed not to say anything.

After that, Guo Furong successfully entered Tongfu Inn.

Jing Xiyue thought that the people in the inn would definitely suffer, but what she didn't expect was that Bai Zhantang was actually a master, and he pinned Guo Furong with a sunflower acupuncture hand.

"Isn't this special effect a bit too simple?" Jing Xiyue complained in her heart.

The next day, Xiaoqing came to Tongfu Inn to ask for someone, and Guo Furong learned that what she did was not to enforce justice, but to harm others.

Guo Furong fell into thought.

At night, on the rooftop, the philosophy class of "Wulin Wai Zhuan" arrived, and Tong Xiangyu and Guo Furong had a chat.

Guo Furong stayed in Tongfu Inn to do odd jobs.

But she didn't want to work, and finally found a way to help the inn make more money, thinking of ways to be lazy.

There is a part where Guo Furong sits at the door of the inn and sings.

In the original play, Guo Furong sang "Eighteen Bends on the Mountain Road", but Xu Ye changed it here.

At the door of the inn, Guo Furong opened her mouth and sang loudly: "I want to fly to the sky, go and herd sheep, and give my beloved sheep some cotton candies~"

The people in Tongfu Inn may not sing well, but they are not out of tune.

Looking at this section, Jing Xiyue felt it was outrageous.

What the hell is this, singing "Expansion" in a costume sitcom?

But it doesn't look out of place.

Jing Xiyue and her mother just kept watching.

Before they knew it, they had finished watching the first episode.

In the end, Xiao Guo changed a little, and he was no longer the one who only talked but did nothing.

There was also a preview at the end of the film.

Next time you will see "The shopkeeper comforts the pretender, and the waiter cleans up the provocative woman."

At this time, the ending song sounded.

A pleasant sound of music came into Jing Xiyue's ears.

She had originally planned to take her phone, but stopped again.

Not long after, the singing came.

"Since Pangu created the world, it is courtesy and righteousness for heroes to travel the world."

"Winning without fighting is the most ideal, and people in the rivers and lakes cannot help themselves."

As soon as the singing sounded, Jing Xiyue recognized the singer.

This person was Xu Nanjia!

The name of this ending song is "Xia Ke Xing".

Soon, it was the rap part of the ending song.

This is sung by Xu Ye.

"There may be too many things that you don't like in this world, but your life is still going on despite the ups and downs."

"Hope lives in your heart, I hope you will be diligent and kind to others and care about yourself."

Before, "Wulin Wai Zhuan" only exposed the opening song, and did not announce the ending song at all.

Jing Xiyue didn't expect that the ending song would have such a surprise.

This song is also produced by Xu Xu Rusheng!

"Xu Xu Rusheng, lock it up for me!"

Jing Xiyue screamed like a groundhog in her heart.

Xiao Xu's voice came again.

"Qianqiang cei, Qiangqiang cei, show me your courage~"

This section of Qiangqiang cei left a deep impression on Jing Xiyue at once.

Wait until the chorus part came later.

"There are too many things that are not satisfactory in this world, but your life still has to go on."

"The sun still rises every day, and hope is always planted in your heart."

Listening to this song, Jing Xiyue felt that her emotions were much more stable.

And in the ending screen, there are many wonderful pictures, which made her watch with relish and couldn't bear to look away.

If this were in other dramas, even if it was the first time to watch the ending, it would probably be skipped directly.

Watching the ending, Jing Xiyue reached out to touch the fruit on the plate, but found nothing.

Looking down, the fruit on the plate had been eaten up long ago, not a single one was left.

She didn't eat it alone, but she and her mother ate it together.

Her mother smiled and said, "This drama is good, it looks quite relaxing, I'll go and do my work first, call me when the TV show starts."

After that, Jing Xiyue's mother got up and went to the bathroom.

"Ah?"

Jing Xiyue was confused.

This is a TV show directed by a new director, and even her mother can be taken down.

After the ending, the commercials started.

Jing Xiyue didn't change the channel at all, and simply put it on Chang'an Satellite TV.

She picked up her phone and started to check online for any news related to "Wulin Wai Zhuan".

However, there was not much discussion about it online.

"Maybe it's just started, many people haven't watched it yet."

Jing Xiyue judged in her heart.

After the commercial ended, Jing Xiyue continued to watch the second episode and called her mother.

In the second episode, Guo Furong was very angry about Bai Zhantang's acupoint pressing and always wanted to fight with Bai Zhantang. In the end, she got her wish and was pressed by Bai Zhantang.

After watching this episode, Jing Xiyue suddenly had a special feeling.

In fact, in her imagination, although this "Wulin Wai Zhuan" is a sitcom, it is also inevitable to fight and kill.

This is a martial arts drama.

In martial arts dramas, masters fly over eaves and walls, and all kinds of powerful martial arts skills emerge in an endless stream.

As a result, now two episodes have passed, there is no exciting fight, and there is no scene of burning money.

Fighting and killing only exist in the mouths of the characters.

Suddenly, Jing Xiyue figured out one thing.

"In fact, "Wulin Wai Zhuan" is not about the things in the martial arts world, but the stories of ordinary people in the rivers and lakes, so this is "Wulin Wai Zhuan."

If people like Tong Xiangyu were put in traditional martial arts dramas, they would just be passers-by A and B, without even a name.

We are all ordinary people with our own lives.

Thinking of this, Jing Xiyue picked up her phone and started writing on Weibo.

She wanted to write something for "Wulin Wai Zhuan".

Although it is a bit unprofessional for music critics to write drama reviews, it doesn't matter.

I wrote it when I wanted to.

As a result, when she went on Weibo, she found that there were a lot of private messages in her private messages.

"Sister-in-law, go watch "Wulin Wai Zhuan", it's so good!"

"Xu Ye's new drama is extraordinary, much better than I thought!"

"Comment on the ending song of "Wulin Wai Zhuan!"

Jing Xiyue was stunned.

So you all secretly watched "Wulin Wai Zhuan" behind my back.

Jing Xiyue is a fan of Xu Ye, and her fans also know it, so everyone will share relevant information about Xu Ye with her.

After Jing Xiyue wrote and posted the review, he started browsing it on Weibo.

This time, the discussion on Weibo increased significantly.

The topic of "Wulin Wai Zhuan" was so popular that it even entered the top five hot searches.

"Brothers, I didn't expect this. This "Wulin Wai Zhuan" is so funny!"

"Woo woo woo! I said I would never eat snacks tonight, but when I was watching the show, I felt it would be a shame if I didn't eat something in my mouth! I ate several packs of snacks!!"

"This show is really funny. If anyone hasn't watched it yet, I have a suggestion. Watch it tomorrow at lunch."

On Weibo, many people are discussing this show.

However, this kind of discussion is very ordinary, and no one is saying anything about "Wulin Wai Zhuan" being a big hit.

In fact, "Wulin Wai Zhuan" is not the kind of TV show that has a hot spot from the beginning. It is a slow-burning show. It was not until the eighth episode that the audience was officially told about the origin of Tongfu Inn and the background story of each character.

After this episode, the story of "Wulin Wai Zhuan" has become more and more exciting. The plot is closely linked, and the small stories are also handled very exquisitely.

The next morning, Ancheng TV Station.

Chang'an Satellite TV is the channel managed by Ancheng TV Station.

Director Huang Bo came to the office. After he arrived at the office, he first made himself a pot of tea.

This is also Huang Bo's habit.

Huang Bo is now in his prime, and at the age of 40, he still wants to shine in his job.

Recently, he is discussing cooperation with a film and television company. This film and television company has produced many hit dramas. If the copyright can be purchased, it will be of great help to Changan Satellite TV.

After sitting in the chair, Huang Bo opened his work email.

In the email, his subordinates have sent him the TV station's ratings data yesterday.

After Huang Bo opened it, he slowly read it from top to bottom.

He knew that Xu Ye's new drama was broadcast on Changan Satellite TV last night.

It's not that Huang Bo doesn't value this drama, but he thinks the probability of this drama failing is a little higher.

He bought the copyright of "Wulin Wai Zhuan" from Xu Ye. In fact, he didn't think highly of this drama, but he wanted to maintain a good cooperation with Xu Ye.

Originally, they had a very pleasant cooperation with Shengguang Entertainment. Now that Xu Ye, the top star, settled in Ancheng, they will inevitably have to deal with each other in the future.

As long as Xu Ye has a work, Huang Bo will buy it without hesitation.

He didn't know whether the show was good or not, but he understood the ways of the world.

"There will be no problem with the ratings of the first episode of "Wulin Wai Zhuan". Xu Ye is so popular, so the ratings of the first episode will definitely not be low."

After Huang Bo finished reading the previous data, it was finally 8 o'clock in the evening.

The data of the previous programs were all mediocre, and none of them exceeded 0.5.

This is quite normal. For daily programs, it is considered good if the ratings can exceed 0.3.

When Huang Bo saw the ratings of the first episode of "Wulin Wai Zhuan", he was stunned for a moment.

"It's so high?"

The ratings of the first episode were 0.81.

Huang Bo was stunned.

Xu Ye is too fierce, right? !

The ratings of the first episode reached 0.81. If the plot is not broken, won't the data continue to rise?

"No way? Did I estimate the traffic brought by current stars wrongly? Xu Ye's current traffic is already so high?"

Huang Bo fell into doubt.

You know, last year, the average ratings of no TV series on Changan TV exceeded 0.5, and even the peak was less than 0.81.

The ratings of the first broadcast of "Wulin Wai Zhuan" not only broke the first broadcast record of Changan TV, but also directly surpassed the performance of the whole year of last year.

Huang Bo, who was originally calm, could no longer remain calm.

He sat up straight.

He was recently talking to a film and television company. Even if the other party was willing to sell the copyright to him, he was not sure that the ratings of these dramas would be so high after they were broadcast.

"Steady, steady, this is just the beginning."

Huang Bo lowered his expectations in his heart.

As long as the expectations were lowered, no matter how bad the data was later, it would be acceptable.

After all, the ratings of the first episode represent the people attracted by Xu Ye.

But the ratings of the second episode depend on the quality of the TV series.

Only good quality can retain people.

This is the same as writing online articles. Some authors are popular and can bring many readers to watch from the beginning.

But now there is a data called follow-up reading, which is the number of real paying readers who see the latest chapter.

Many authors cut books because the follow-up reading is too low.

The readers are attracted, but the content cannot keep them. This means that the book is not good.

This cannot be faked, because readers have sharp eyes.

People will continue to read if it is good.

Huang Bo slid the mouse and turned to the next page.

This page is the ratings of the second episode of "Wulin Wai Zhuan".

Ratings, 0.79.

Moreover, in the more than 40 minutes of the second episode, the entire ratings curve was very stable, even with the ads in the middle, the ratings did not decline.

This retention rate is really too terrifying.

At this moment, Huang Bo only felt that he was surrounded by happiness.

"I seem to be taking off!"

He didn't even need to think about it, he knew that this data was very amazing even if it was placed nationwide.

This is because Changan Satellite TV has relatively few users.

If it were other TV stations, the ratings would probably be even higher.

It was not that Changan Satellite TV bought "Wulin Wai Zhuan" to make friends with Xu Ye, but that Xu Ye's drama gave Changan Satellite TV a chance to hold its head high.
