Chapter 583
Ma Zhiyuan's speech in the live broadcast room was to stir up topics for himself and increase the popularity.
"Mountain Peak" can also use this incident to counter-hype.
A topic that comes to the door.
"Mountain Peak" has finally entered another dimension of popularity-
contradiction.
First, Yan Liang openly admitted that the role was indeed given to him because Ma Zhiyuan did not play it back then. Later, Shen Mofan, the director of "Mountain Peak", stood up and said that the reason he gave the script to Ma Zhiyuan was mainly because Yan Liang was not as popular as he is now. From a commercial perspective, Ma Zhiyuan could help the show in terms of commercial value. Looking back now, everything is the best arrangement.
Ma Zhiyuan was ridiculed by many people.
He broke down and cursed in the live broadcast room, saying that Yan Liang was just a beggar today because of Lu Yanhe's charity, and he just didn't have a friend like Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe fought back: Don't be jealous, Yan Liang has a friend like me, and you have a son.
He broke down a lot of defense.
Lu Yanhe's words were almost to the point of killing people.
You know, Ma Zhiyuan's career plummeted because of this incident.
Yan Liang also fought back: I don't rely on my friends' charity, but your charity. After all, "The Mountain" was not given to me by Yan He, but it fell to me because you didn't play it. Don't be modest.
For a time, the excitement of this drama caused a surge in the traffic of the entire platform.
"The Mountain" ushered in a large wave of daily traffic.
When the daily playback volume was about to end, it exceeded 100 million for the first time, and the number of followers of the latest episode exceeded 9 million.
Strictly speaking, this drama is still not a big hit.
In terms of average playback volume per episode, this drama is currently only about 40 million. If you don't use the domestic calculation rules, but look at the intuitive number of followers from the background, the actual viewing ID of this drama that has been watched for more than 30 minutes is only 17 million.
It's popular, but not a hit.
But the domestic gameplay does not completely look at the number of viewers as an indicator, but also looks at the number of its patch ads and its topicality on major social platforms.
By the latest episode, the number of adverts for "Mountain Peak" has reached five.
In the vertical field, this drama has indeed attracted a group of loyal viewers.
This makes brands very willing to pay for this drama.
From this dimension, "Mountain Peak" is indeed a hit again.
The main reason is that its reputation is too good. It is the drama with the best reputation so far this year.

"Your performance in this drama should allow you to continue to be nominated for acting awards this year." Zhou Pingan said to Yan Liang, "However, the hope of winning the award is still not great."
Yan Liang nodded.
His performance in "Mountain Peak" did receive a lot of praise, but this time, the performance of another male protagonist Wei Mingran in "Mountain Peak" attracted more attention. Even Yan Liang himself had to admit that in this drama, the two actors Wei Mingran and Ren Suping had real charm in their roles.
Zhou Pingan said: "You have had several hit dramas in a row, all of which are double male lead or group portrait dramas like "Friends". You will have to take on dramas with male lead in the future, otherwise it will affect your subsequent development. I hope that "Liu Guang Yin" starring you and Zhang Lan can have a good broadcast effect."
Yan Liang said: "I will soon shoot "Legend of Sword and Fairy", which is also the second male lead. Zhi Bai's role is the first male lead. Are there any suitable scripts now? I also think that I need to adjust the direction of my future dramas. The second part of "Gold Rush" and the "Friends" series will be shot next, still with double male lead and group portraits. I see many marketing accounts say that although my dramas are popular, they are not carried by me."
"It doesn't matter. In fact, you are carrying the drama now. You can see the number of views of the first episode of "Mountain Peak". The data of its launch is actually very good. You know, the only popular star in this drama It's you. Although Wei Mingran and Ren Suping are both talented actors, they have never been famous. This drama has further increased their popularity. "Zhou Ping'an said, "So, you don't need to care about what the marketing accounts say. People in the industry can still see the doorway. The reason why "The Mountain Top" didn't air well in the middle is not because you can't carry the drama, but because of the style of the drama. I evaluated your recent dramas. In fact, I still want to give you a lighter style male lead drama, preferably a workplace drama. "
"Why?"
"Because you have "The Flowing Light" and "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" in the next costume dramas, which are all muscle action images, and the styles of "The Gold Rush" and "The Mountain Top" are both more heavy. "Zhou Ping'an said frankly, "Friends" is still relatively relaxed, and you actually have a lot of room to play in the workplace drama. "
Yan Liang heard this and nodded.
"Your image is very rare among young actors. You are one of the few actors who have a martial arts image. Apart from "Friends", the dramas you have taken on are basically based on this image. Therefore, taking on a workplace drama with a heavy literary color can help you dilute the inherent impression in this regard."
Yan Liang understood Zhou Ping'an's meaning.
"Then see if there is a script suitable for me."
"I just can't choose a script right now. Your previous dramas have been very good. I don't want to give you a random script. Even if the script has 70 or 80 points, it won't be enough." Zhou Pingan said, "Based on your current situation, I think the best thing is to contact you It's a movie by a big director, but I don't know if any of them will do workplace drama in the future. I'll consider it. Anyway, this year you will be filming three movies, "The Legend of Sword", "Gold Rush" Part 2 and "Friends" Season 2. The schedule is almost full, the key is to see what roles we can take next year.”
"Um."
"Actually, it's okay if you have a suitable movie." Zhou Ping'an said, "But movies are more risky. With your current situation, if you act in a movie, you may only be able to act in a second or third time in a slightly larger production. It doesn’t mean much to you.”
"Brother Ping'an, can you help me get involved in a literary film every year?" Yan Liang said, "Regardless of box office and commercial value, I want to hone my acting skills in such a film. Anyway, I won't take the movie route in the short term. , Even if the box office results are not good, it doesn’t matter, but it allows me to challenge myself.”
"Yes, yes, I'll tell you the truth. Then I will only accept films that can be shot within a month, otherwise it will take too long." Zhou Pingan said, "You have two series. Shoot, the one-year schedule is inherently limited. If you have pursuits, I won’t stop you, but you must also consider your current career development stage. You are not allowed to spend too much time on this kind of thing where you don’t know how much you can get in return. "Return on the literary film."
"Okay." Yan Liang nodded.
-
Yan Liang was actually quite surprised. He didn't expect that his communication with Zhou Pingan would become smoother and smoother.
He was even a little confused, wondering when this change started.
Did Zhou Ping'an change, or did he?
This time of communication, Yan Liang suddenly felt like "the conversation was extremely smooth."
Whatever their thoughts and needs were, both of them spoke frankly without any ambiguity or concealment.
Yan Liang told Lu Yanhe and Li Zhibai when he went back.
Lu Yanhe said: "It would be strange if he hasn't changed after so many years. You are the only trump card in his hand now. He must hope to keep you, so he will naturally respect you." ”
Li Zhibai nodded and agreed with Lu Yanhe's point of view.
"Don't forget, Zhou Ping'an learned a lesson from me and Ma Zhiyuan before, and must have reflected on it." Li Zhibai said, "He is such a good person, he must know that his current situation is not the same as before. It’s a matter of fact. He used to have a few celebrity artists in his possession. If this one becomes obscene, there will be another one. Now that I’m gone and Ma Zhiyuan is here, of course he won’t talk to you properly.”
Yan Liang: "No, I think it's not just that simple. His personality has softened. This is a change in personality, not a change in his methods. I can't help but wonder if he has been stimulated by something else. ”
Li Zhibai said: "What stimulation can he receive? His biggest stimulation is Ma Zhiyuan's sudden thunderstorm."
Yan Liang held his chin in thought.
Lu Yanhe: "You don't care how he was stimulated. If he can communicate well with you now, that's fine."
"And his plan for you to take on the film was quite accurate." Li Zhibai said, "What I didn't expect was that he would agree to your wish to act in an art film a year. With his profit-seeking attitude in the past, With your character, how could you agree? You don’t get much remuneration for acting in a literary film, and you have to spend a lot of time filming in the group. The final box office performance is not good, and it will also affect the market’s evaluation of you.”
Yan Liang: "This also shocked me. I originally thought I was going to talk to him for a while, but I didn't expect that he agreed as soon as he said yes."
Lu Yanhe: "Maybe he realizes that you actually have hope of winning an award, so he also hopes that you can win awards by acting in artistic films. Don't you think he cares about you? The drama "Top of the Mountain" can help you again Are you going to be nominated for three awards?”
"That's true." Yan Liang nodded, "Maybe he really hopes that I can get nominated for a film award by relying on literary films? I can't imagine that he doesn't do things based on profit and loss."
"If "Top of the Mountain" competes for awards this year, will the blue ribbon incident last year have an impact on you?" Li Zhibai asked.
"I don't know." Yan Liang shook his head. "If it affects me, there's nothing I can do about it. I already made the decision to do this at that time. If they want to deliberately prevent me from getting the nomination because of this, I can't do anything."
Lu Yanhe said: "Go and compete for overseas awards."
"ah?"
""Top of the Mountain" can apply for several Asian TV drama awards." Lu Yanhe said seriously, "Has the overseas streaming rights of this drama been sold?"
Yan Liang said: "I heard that we are still communicating with HP and Maxine, but the prices offered by these two platforms are relatively low, so we have not yet reached an agreement. In fact, this drama may not be able to set off a viewing craze on streaming media like "The Gold Rush". , "The Gold Rush" takes advantage of its subject matter, and the viewing threshold for "Top of the Mountain" is indeed a bit high."
Lu Yanhe: "But the reputation of "Top of the Mountain" is really high. You can talk to Zhou Pingan. When "Top of the Mountain" is broadcast overseas, you can ask Zhou Pingan to help you run it and at least let this drama enter the market. The selection scope of those awards is of excellent quality. What needs to be done is to let more people know about this drama and see how good it is.”
Yan Liang: "Well, I feel that Zhou Pingan still hopes that the drama "Top of the Mountain" can bring me some awards and nominations. He said that I have had dramas for two consecutive years to help me be nominated for acting awards. An award can create momentum in itself, but he didn’t insist that I win an award now.”
"Indeed, a popular work has helped you to be nominated for an acting award for two consecutive years. This proves your acting ability to a certain extent." Lu Yanhe nodded, "Actually, these two dramas should also make you attracted by many Did the great director see it?”
"Yes." Yan Liang nodded, "In the past six months, I have actually been led by Zhou Ping'an to meet with many directors. However, it is quite difficult to have a suitable opportunity to cooperate. It depends on fate. In addition to the few dramas that I have already decided on, I will not take on any more ensemble dramas or two-male dramas in the short term. I have to play the male lead, otherwise I will not be able to work in the industry. I'm afraid of being typecast. It's very difficult for me to play the leading male lead in a big director's production. Their dramas don't necessarily have male leading roles. Even if they are, they are usually more mature male characters. Our age still doesn’t have any advantages. I now particularly understand what Yan He said. Our current age has great limitations, which prevents us from acting in many dramas.”
In film and television dramas, the prime age of actors is from thirty to fifty, and some of them are still too young now.
Lu Yanhe said: "I really can't find a suitable script. I will write you a script with a male protagonist."
Yan Liang: "Don't, don't, don't. If you have a suitable script, you can come to me. Don't always write the script for me. I also want to prove myself. I can still be a good actor even if I don't act in Lu Yanhe's script."
"You don't have to listen to those people's nonsense. The "Gold Rush" and "The Mountain" you acted in were not scripts written by me. You have also been very successful, but it's like they can't see these two dramas. ”
"It is true that I have to admit that without the drama "Six People", my path as an actor may have been more tortuous and difficult. Since they have such an impression of me now, I would not be able to do it again "
Lu Yanhe was deeply touched by Yan Liang's words. But at the same time, he also felt very relieved that this was the Yan Liang he knew. It's great that they are still who they are. They are still the same as before. (End of chapter)
