Chapter 340 "The Temptation of Going Home" And the Infatuated Boss in the Entertainment Industry?
After staying in Beijing for one night, Li Jiahang did not return to Shanghai, but went to Star City to participate in the promotion of "The Temptation of Going Home".
As the opening drama of Hunan Satellite TV in the new year, even if there are no popular stars such as Wei Yang, Xiao Zhao, and Nazha, there will be no shortage of publicity resources.
In particular, the station also has relevant variety show cooperation with Blue Whale, at least there is a chance to go to "Happy Camp" and other popular variety shows.
There are several main creative lineups for "The Temptation of Going Home", but the core is Li Jiahang, Qiu Cixuan, and Liu Yan. If you have to add one more, it is the female lead, the affectionate male second + helper Chi Shuai.
Li Jiahang also did a lot of publicity, and the male lead was not the first one. The hosts and behind-the-scenes staff in Hunan also knew each other. With Liu Yan, a good helper familiar with variety shows, the work during the publicity period was very smooth.
And when they were busy, "The Temptation of Going Home" was also broadcast as scheduled.
The platform base of Hunan TV is not a joke. As long as the quality of TV series that can be broadcast in the prime time is not particularly bad or unpleasant, it is not difficult to break 1.
The ratings of "Temptation to Go Home" in the first three days were easily stable at around 1.6%.
If this rating can be stabilized, it is already very good, not to mention that according to the current trend, there is still room for improvement.
Blue Whale and Hunan Provincial TV are very satisfied, and Li Jiahang's publicity resources have also increased accordingly. Wei Yang also called to encourage and congratulate.
After they finished their publicity recording and left Star City one after another, the average ratings of "Temptation to Go Home" have exceeded 2.7, and it is also the most popular TV series in January.
The theme song of the TV series "Unforgivable" even topped some music charts.
The sentence "For all the pain of love, for all the pain of hate, I can no longer distinguish between love and hate, is it just like this" is even more resounding in the streets and alleys of the country.
The heroine of "Temptation to Go Home" Qiu Cixuan jumped from Penguin when the TV series was popular and settled in Sina Weibo. In just half a day, her Weibo fans exceeded 200,000.
At present, it has been less than two weeks since she opened her Weibo account, and her fans are approaching 2 million. The speed is astonishing.
According to estimates from all parties and the subsequent promotions by Hunan Province, there is a great hope that "Temptation to Go Home" will break 3.
This data, even the Hunan Provincial TV Station and Blue Whale were stunned.
They never thought that a Korean drama adaptation TV series with a not luxurious cast and not high investment cost could be comparable to "Eastern Palace" and even "Joy of Life".
The only regret is that "Temptation to Go Home" is more inclined to the TV platform. Although the data on the website is also good, it is not the same as that on the TV station.
Another point is that "the drama is popular but the actors are not", which does not mean that the actors have not benefited from it. It can be seen from Qiu Xiuyan's Weibo fans that her popularity has soared.
The reason why "the drama is popular but the actors are not" is that it has not reached the level of breaking the circle.
Take "Eastern Palace", which also broke 3, for comparison. Wei Yang and Na Zha were very popular when "Eastern Palace" was popular at that time.
The latter's fan increase was much more exaggerated than Qiu Xiuyan's, and at that time it was a period of Weibo's pioneering work. The number of users and activity were not comparable to now. Na Zha was really popular at that time.
There is also "Palace Lock Heart Jade", the ratings of this drama are not as good as "Temptation to Go Home", but it made Da Mimi become a top star and a phenomenal figure.
In comparison, "Temptation to Go Home" is popular, but no matter how much discussion and influence it has, it has not reached the level of breaking the circle of phenomena such as "Eastern Palace" and "Joy of Life".
The bonus for the actors can even be said to be "the drama is popular but the actors are not", which is far less than the TV series with the same ratings.
But then again, how many people can't even get 1 starring work, and this one has broken 3, what else do they want?
The so-called "the drama is popular but the actors are not" is just an exaggeration. Not breaking the circle does not mean there is no benefit.
Qiu Cixuan became famous and replaced Jang Nara as the first Korean star to develop in China.
Liu Yan starred in two hits in a row and entered the sight of many producers and directors.
Li Jiahang may be a little unpleasant at this stage because of the role he played, but the hard results and exposure are real, which has improved people's preconceived impression of him.
It turns out that Zhang Wei has such a side!
Hong Shixian, this scumbag, really broadened Li Jiahang's acting range, letting people know that he is not only good at playing unlucky guys (Zhang Wei, the son of "Joy of Life") and losers (Zhang Wei, Xia Dongqing of "Soul Ferry").
I don't know who is so wicked that he gave Li Jiahang the title of "powerful young actor".
He also praised him for not having Wei Yang's outstanding appearance, but still insisting on himself and walking his own path.
This evaluation made Wei Yang and Li Jiahang disgusted. The former felt that he was implying that he only relied on his face, and the latter felt that he was slandering him for not being able to make a living by his face.
But anyway, after "Temptation to Go Home", Li Jiahang's fame soared, and paparazzi took pictures of him secretly.
Then the media broke the news that he and Li Sheng went out to eat together and returned to their residence in Shanghai together. The title was so sensational.
"Pinru" is actually "Xiaoyanzi", Zhang Wei is having an "illicit love affair" in real life, where will "Hong Shixian" and "Wang Xiaoya" go?"
"Hahaha, this reporter is really mean."
Wei Yang laughed so happily that he wanted to help forward the Weibo to increase the popularity of his good brother.
In order to attract attention, these reporters wrote about all the well-known characters of Li Jiahang and Li Sheng, and also played a wave of "orthopedic memes". The character Xiao Jian played by Li Jiahang in "The Princess" is Xiao Yanzi's biological brother. .
Li Jiahang was very helpless. In fact, his relationship with Li Sheng was not a secret.
"Soul Ferry" is a second collaboration. We often interact on Weibo, and many people have made some speculations. However, due to career considerations and the fact that the two of them didn't get along for a long time, they didn't announce it to the public.
This was also Li Jiahang's first taste of becoming famous. He was accidentally photographed secretly by someone.
Fortunately for him, his boss is a good brother, and it doesn't matter whether he is single or in a relationship.
After all, Li Sheng is a young flower who has just become famous. Her own route is not yet fixed, and she even has a certain number of Huanzhu CP fans. The company team does not want her to make her relationship public so soon.
"Brother, stop looking at the joke and help me come up with some ideas."
Li Jiahang had no choice but to beg for mercy, and his love affair was exposed. It didn't hurt him, but it had a big impact on Li Sheng. He himself was called back for several meetings.
"What else can we do? Just treat it coldly."
Wei Yang played with the turtle shell in his hand. Now that he was rich, he also changed the gun. The handle of the turtle shell in his hand changed from rosewood to ice jade, about the size of an egg.
Of course, this ice jade turtle shell is too eye-catching, so he plays with it privately at work or at home, and still carries the rosewood one when he goes out.
Firstly, after playing for a long time, you will feel emotional. Secondly, after all, it is made of wood, so if you bump it, you won’t feel bad.
Li Jiahang's matter is very simple. Just admit that Li Sheng has concerns. If he denies it, it will be easy to get slapped in the face if he turns around, so he just pretends to be dead.
"Don't worry, no one cares about the gossip of a little star like you, no one will care about it after a while."
Li Jiahang was both heartbroken and relieved at the same time. Indeed, with his current influence and status, he is not qualified to make headlines.
In fact, if "The Temptation of Going Home" hadn't been on the air, he might not have made the headlines.
"That'll do."
Li Jiahang felt at ease. When he came here this time, he wanted to see if he could ask Wei Yang to help suppress the heat, or find a girl to start a scandal to help him attract fire.
It's a good thing that Wei Yang didn't know what he was thinking, otherwise he would have added fuel to his scandal by forwarding the scandal.
After settling this matter, Li Jiahang didn't leave. Today was the celebration party for "The Temptation of Going Home", and he was waiting for Wei Yang to join him in the car.
Wei Yang was busy handling official matters, so he sat in the reception area and watched the custom-made 100-inch TV with no sound, which played Gao Xixi's version of "The Legend of Chu and Han".
"He insists."
"You gave it?"
"He insists!"
"You gave it if you had to?"
"I told him I was coming."
"Then what?"
"...He pestered me for a long time, and I told him to keep it."
"It didn't work? Haha, it didn't work."
Li Jiahang looked at this explosive line, and everyone was stunned. If a foreigner comes here, he will not be beaten to death.
Wei Yang also took a look, but he was too far away to see it clearly, and he saw it vaguely as "He doesn't want it, but I have to give it to him."
"Is this line so wild?"
Boss Wei was shocked. He had long heard that Director Gao was very eclectic and that "New Three Kingdoms" had many famous lines. He had not seen "Legend of Chu and Han" very much, and this was the first time he knew that the scale was so astonishing.
He also specifically searched for the screenwriter online, and it turned out to be Wang Hailin, the scolding man who liked to talk about scripts with the coal boss.
Couldn't this line also be what you thought of when you pinched your feet?
…
Until about seven o'clock in the evening, Wei Yang finished what he was doing and called Li Jiahang to go to the celebration party.
In the underground garage, Li Jiahang watched as the car key in Wei Yang's hand clicked on a Bentley Bentayga.
"New car?"
Wei Yang nodded, and when he saw his excited face, he threw the key to him and asked him to be the driver.
Li Jiahang happily sat on the driver's seat and was not in a hurry to start the car, browsing and feeling the charm of the luxury car.
In fact, his current income is not low. One episode of TV series can earn hundreds of thousands. After "The Temptation of Going Home", his salary is expected to increase.
However, the company has to take part of Li Jiahang's income, and what is left in his hands will have to bear other expenses. The miscellaneous things that can be in his hands are not as exaggerated as imagined.
He still wants to keep the money to buy a house for his family. He also wants to start a family and start a business in Shanghai, buy a house and land, so you can imagine the savings in his hands.
Therefore, he can't afford a multi-million dollar luxury car like this, and there is no need. With this money, wouldn't it be a good investment for him to buy a house?
Wei Yang is different. He has a lot of money and can live in a house in his name for a few months.
For him, buying a Bentley is just like buying a bicycle for ordinary people, without any pressure.
However, Li Jiahang was still curious. He knew that Wei Yang was not a car lover and had several Maybachs and Mercedes-Benz cars under his name, so why did he buy a Bentley?
Wei Yang heard his doubts and opened the passenger's storage box. There were women's sunglasses, headbands, necklaces, snacks and other miscellaneous things inside.
There was a string of jewelry hanging in front of the rearview mirror, and Wei Yang was holding something that looked like a tag. Only then did Li Jiahang see clearly that there was a photo of Xiao Zhao's head on it.
"do you understand?"
Li Jiahang nodded. It's not like he didn't have a girlfriend. Li Sheng also left some things in his car.
This is a kind of intimacy and sweetness between lovers. Living at home, a lot of it means having me in you and you in me.
It is also a little trick of girls, declaring their sovereignty over the car and even the man, so that if another woman gets in the car, she will know that the car is taken.
For Li Jiahang, this is not a big deal, and he even enjoys it, but for Wei Yang, it is more troublesome.
Fortunately, he is rich, and he uses a fixed car every time he meets a girl, and he can declare his sovereignty casually, as long as he doesn't bump into her.
In the past, Wei Yang often drove a Maybach to meet Liu Shishi, and he and Xiao Zhao both drove a Mercedes-Benz. Not long ago, his mother passed the driver's license test, so he gave the Mercedes-Benz to Wang Yunping and bought a Bentley for himself.
This is not because he is stingy, driving a luxury car himself and giving his mother an old car, but Wang Yunping's own request.
It is inevitable that new drivers will bump into things on the road. It is painful to drive a new car, and it is easy to cause trouble for others if it is too expensive.
Wei Yang's old Mercedes-Benz is 70% to 80% new, worth only 1.8 million, and has excellent performance. It is just right for Wang Yunping to practice, and then buy a good one after she becomes familiar with it.
Although he understood, Li Jiahang couldn't help but curse Wei Yang for buying a Bentley just for a few hair bands and sunglasses.
Wei Yang laughed: "What's that? I'll order a private jet and invite you to have a party in the air."
Li Jiahang: "..."
He felt that he had a really good mentality. If it were someone else, he would have stepped on the accelerator and died with this pretentious person.
The celebration party was not too big this time. It was mainly for the company and some main creators of the "Temptation to Go Home" crew to get together for a meal and have some fun.
It was also the first time that Wei Yang met the heroine of "Temptation to Go Home", Qiu Cixuan, who didn't speak Chinese very well at that time.
"Hello, President Wei, I... I'm Qiu Cixuan."
"Hello, I saw Miss Qiu's performance, it was very exciting, and I hope we can have the opportunity to work together again in the future."
Wei Yang still had a good impression of this person, otherwise he would not have asked her to act. If there is really a chance in the future, his words are not just a perfunctory greeting.
Qiu Cixuan has worked in China for several years. She can't speak fluently, but she can still understand what is being said. She bowed after hearing this.
"Thank you, President Wei. I will work hard."
Qiu Cixuan is very grateful to Wei Yang. She is not valued in Korea and plays supporting roles. She doesn't have particularly good resources in China.
This time, "Temptation to Go Home" made her very popular. Even in Korea, it is rumored that she is very popular in China. She is very grateful to Wei Yang.
The two chatted for a while. Wei Yang encouraged and praised Qiu Cixuan. His humble and gentle attitude also left a deep impression on her.
She knew Wei Yang. "My Love from the Star" was very popular in Korea. She also had a general understanding of his deeds and status.
But she didn't know that he was so gentle. Coupled with his original aura and high appearance, Qiu Cixuan couldn't help asking Liu Yan about Wei Yang.
"Does President Wei have a girlfriend?"
"..."
Liu Yan didn't expect Qiu Cixuan to be so direct. She was slightly stunned, then shook her head. She couldn't surprise the other party, so she explained.
"It's not a question of whether he has a girlfriend or not, but how many girlfriends he has?"
Qiu Ja-hyun: "???"
Her dream of being a love-struck boss in the entertainment industry falling in love with a foreign female star was shattered...
Let me explain. I've been sick these past two days, with a high fever, headaches and nausea. I didn't mention yesterday's update, so I thought I could quietly make up for it today, but I still don't feel well, so I can only maintain full attendance
I'll see how I feel tomorrow, and if I feel better, I'll make up for it
