I Signed with the System for Three Years, and the Band Fired Me?

Chapter 174 You Know Nothing About the Power of "Drawing Sword"

North of Beijing Overpass, Jinghong Community, Fan Youdong went home and lay on the sofa.

Today, without Dafei's crosstalk, it seemed very empty.

He is the chef of the restaurant. He watched crosstalk at Dafei's place two days ago and asked for a refund several times. It was so refreshing.

It was obviously the actors on the stage who were performing, but he was the only audience member who was very happy.

Dafei left, and he didn't go to watch it. He got off work early today and felt a little empty.

Back home, sitting on the sofa, "Big Dog and Two Dogs" was still playing on TV. After a while, a middle-aged woman walked out of the room.

"The child fell asleep?"

The woman nodded, "Didn't you go to listen to the crosstalk today?"

"No, I came back to accompany you?"

"Cut it out, you only say nice things, why didn't you say you would take me with you when you watched the crosstalk?"

"Don't you have to watch the child do homework!"

The woman rolled her eyes unhappily, "Okay, stop making excuses, just watch TV with me."

The two leaned on the sofa, and the woman picked up the remote control and was about to change the channel.

"Big Dog and Two Dogs" has ended, and suddenly the words "Bright Sword" appeared on the screen.

"Wait a minute!"

The words "Bright Sword" and the opening poster did not attract him.

The key is that there are four obvious big words below, which surprised him a little.

Director Dafei.

Originally, Fan Youdong had no interest in Dafei. He was just an ordinary person who didn't like music, so how could he have time to chase singers.

But Dafei's crosstalk in the past two days made him interested in this person.

"This is actually a TV series directed by Dafei. Let's watch this for a while?"

The woman frowned, "No, I want to watch the one with Li Zhilin. I've watched the previous one."

The woman didn't care about anything and directly changed the channel. Fan Youdong didn't dare to say anything.

After changing, he found that the second episode had been broadcast for a while.

Fan Youdong said, "You've missed the first episode anyway, so watch the replay tomorrow. You can watch "Bright Sword" from the beginning now."

The woman nodded helplessly, "Okay, we agreed that you would watch TV with me, but now I have to watch it with you."

The two switched the TV back to CCTV Channel 8. The child had watched cartoons on this channel before, and now he continued to watch this channel.

"Bright Sword" just started, and a tense background music sounded, followed by the steady voice of Dafei.

"July 7, 1937..."

"Under the command of the regiment commander Li Yunlong, the New 1st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army led the entire regiment to launch counterattacks against the Japanese army several times, and the battles were extremely tragic..."

The TV opened with several large explosions, and the woman curled her lips.

"It's obvious that this drama can't be as good as The True Colors of the Anti-Japanese War."

Fan Youdong said, "I've watched The True Colors of the Anti-Japanese War before, but the acting is too fake. Only you girls like to watch it. I've seen enough of the anti-Japanese dramas, and the plots are more outrageous than one another. Let's see how this plot is."

The dialogue between two Japanese officers at the beginning is quite real, both in makeup and styling, and the explosion scene is also good.

Fan Youdong said, "I finally saw an anti-Japanese war film in Japanese. Look, this is real. How can the Japanese speak Chinese to each other?"

The woman was still a little unconvinced, "Isn't that for the audience to hear clearly? You still have to look at the subtitles for this."

Although she was stubborn, the woman obviously thought this format was good, at least it was logical.

Afterwards, Li Hongbin appeared.

The woman lost interest a little. "This is the leading male role. He is too old. Now people like to watch young and handsome men. Who would watch this kind of film?" Fan Youdong said, "Don't you think about it? The leading male role in an anti-Japanese war film cannot be a soldier. Can anyone above the head of a regiment be young? Being a regiment leader at the age of 25 or 26? Does it make sense?" The woman nodded. "What you said makes sense." On TV, Li Yunlong and the battalion commander Zhang Dabiao were talking. Zhang Dabiao said, "Captain, the Sakata Regiment is known as the elite of the devil..."

Li Yunlong glared, "What the hell is the elite? I don't believe it. I'm fighting the elite. Pass my order, everyone put on the bayonet and prepare to attack!"

...

"Captain, we only have two shells..."

Li Yunlong: "What did you say? Damn, you loser! Why don't you use it sparingly?"

"Captain, you have to speak with conscience. When the devil attacked just now, you were the one who shouted the loudest. Zhuzi, blow up that heavy machine gun for me! This time you don't admit it again, and you think I was wasting it! ”

Li Yunlong: "You kid dare to complain, be careful or I'll beat you up!"

Less than two seconds after he finished speaking, he immediately smiled, "Hehe, when the battle is over, I'll reward you with two kilograms of sweet potato cakes, but you have to think carefully about how to use two shells to destroy the enemy's headquarters for me."

"But let me be frank, if you can't hit it, not to mention the sweet potato cakes, I'll have to shoot you!"

"Yes, commander!"

...

The woman smiled knowingly, "This guy's acting is so interesting, full of foul language, how can there be such a leader."

Fan Youdong was also very interested and watched attentively.

"This is the truth, this is how war should be fought, this is a war, and you can still recite poems in a literary way? Only Li Zhilin can shoot such a plot."

The woman rolled her eyes, "This is good, but you don't have to compare with Li Zhilin all the time, there is no need to praise one and criticize the other. "

Fan Youdong said, "You can't blame me. The two TV series are broadcast together and are of the same type. Can I not compare them? This Li Yunlong is really interesting. I have followed this TV series."

The woman said nothing and gave up the idea of ​​changing the channel. She watched for a few minutes and wanted to continue watching.

The first episode was finished quickly, and the two of them still had more to say, but the TV station had already released commercials.

The woman quickly stood up and said, "I'm going to use the bathroom."

Fan Youdong burst out laughing, "Didn't you just say it didn't look good? Are you holding back your pee to watch the emotions?"

"Shut up and get me some snacks. I'll eat them while watching the next episode."

Lin Chudong and Deng Siqing were watching a drama in the hotel room. Deng Siqing couldn't take his eyes away until the commercial came on, and then he twisted his neck.

"Da Fei, this drama is great. It's really interesting. Li Yunlong's performance is great."

Lin Chudong nodded. The biggest highlight of the whole drama is Li Yunlong's character, which was perfectly performed by teacher Li Hongbin. It is definitely the soul of the whole drama.

Of course, other aspects are also good enough to support a good drama.

But most of the audience was attracted by Li Yunlong, even Deng Siqing was no exception.

The lighting in the room was very ambiguous, and Lin Chudong was lying on the bed, a little ready to move.

The last time he was kissed by Sister Deng in that warehouse, he missed that feeling for a long time.

His hand suddenly hugged Deng Siqing's waist. Deng Siqing's cheeks turned red and she leaned into his arms shyly.

Although I have lived at home many times, the feeling of opening a house outside is still different.

They came to Yunnan in advance today, and the recording of the show will start tomorrow. There are so many people, and it will be difficult for her to live in the same room as Da Fei.

Lin Chudong gently lifted Deng Siqing's chin and kissed her lips. The feeling that he had missed for a long time finally came back again.

Suddenly, the opening song played on the TV.

Deng Siqing immediately pushed him away and said, "Wait a minute, I'll watch a TV series first."

Lin Chudong:......

Damn Li Yunlong!

Li Yunlong was demoted to the position of director of the garment factory for disobeying orders. His position was to be restored. Li Yunlong stepped on the sewing machine and felt confident.

"I won't go. I won't go. Everything has to be clarified. Why did you remove me, the main leader, in the first place?"

"I'm talking about Captain Li, this is an order from the boss himself."

Li Yunlong slapped the table and said, "Even the Emperor, I have to be punished, right? What mistake did I make? Isn't it just that I didn't break out according to the order? Is this also a mistake? You have to be reasonable in everything! It's time for me to be vindicated. I can't do this. You’re confused! Don’t go!”

The brigade commander opened the door and started yelling, "Li Yunlong!"

"This drama is really amazing. I can't stop watching it. Li Yunlong is so awesome. I love this character."

"I have analyzed the combat power of this drama. Li Yunlong is greater than the King of Heaven, and the brigade commander is greater than Li Yunlong. Therefore, the brigade commander ranks first in the combat power of this drama."

"Haha, I really have no status as the King of Heaven."

"Li Yunlong is awesome. In the first episode, he became the director of a clothing factory from a group leader. In the second episode, he went to become the leader of an independent group. The ups and downs are so fast."

"This Yamamoto Kazuki is very handsome. He is a special forces villain."

"Pay attention, all the devils speak Japanese, and their mouth shapes are exactly right. They are not dubbed in post-production."

"This crew is so professional. This is how anti-Japanese dramas should be performed. What do the Japanese say when they gather together and don't speak Japanese?"

"I don't know if you've seen the title, but the Japanese director of this drama is Da Fei..."

"What the hell? Da Fei is also proficient in Japanese?"

"There's nothing strange about this. I've been reading movies for many years and I can speak Japanese."

"You know those words, right?"

"I also like this Monk Wei. He makes me stunned and interesting. Paired with Li Yunlong, it's a golden combination."

"The characters in this drama are so well created, they are much better than Next Door."

"Don't mention "The True Colors of the War", each one is more crotch-inducing than the other. I just watched it for a while, and there was a guy in the camera who actually drank a lime drink. I was in trouble at that time."

"There is no other way, product placement, hahaha, there was a drink during the Anti-Japanese War, it's really cool."

"..."

After the two episodes were broadcast, Huang Wei immediately sent Lin Chudong a WeChat message.

"The average ratings are 2.2, the highest ratings are 2.9, and the average viewership share is 13%."

"This is a pretty good number, it may be even higher tomorrow!"

It was obvious that Huang Wei was very excited.

At this time, Huang Wei was so excited in the office that she couldn't sit still.

Dafei is really awesome. Her previous movie "The Beginning" directly gave her SSS-level results.

Now this "Bright Sword" is probably going to create another miracle!

Huang Wei walked into Director Chen's office, "Boss, you haven't left yet?"

Chen Deming said, "Looking at your smile, are you here to ask for credit from me?"

Huang Wei smiled and said, "How can it be possible? A small achievement is insignificant."

Chen Deming said, "On the first day of broadcast, the highest ratings reached 2.9. What is your small achievement? Huang Wei, in a few years, my position will probably be yours."

Huang Wei said, "Don't flatter me. Whenever you get promoted, don't forget to take me with you."

Chen Deming said, ""Bright Sword" is indeed good as expected. This drama is indeed of excellent quality."

Huang Wei said, "Then do you think you can adjust the time?"

Although the difference between eight o'clock and nine o'clock is not very big, there is still a difference.

The reason why eight o'clock is called the prime time is because this is the peak of ratings. If "Bright Sword" is allowed to be on again, it may be able to reach a higher level and the data will soar again.

Chen Deming frowned and said.

"I will check again tomorrow. If the ratings reach 3 and the viewership share exceeds 20%, then I will adjust the time."

Although it was to repay a favor, he couldn't miss such a good drama. Chen Deming originally wanted to compete with Thirteen sets, and he couldn't delay it because of a cartoon.

"Xiao Huang, go check next door and ask about the data of "The True Colors of War 2"."

Huang Wei nodded and came to the thirteen sets.

Qiu Chengdong was still working overtime in the office. When they met, Huang Wei greeted him politely.

"Brother Qiu, right? I'm Huang Wei, the production director of Unit 8."

Qiu Chengdong was stunned for a moment, "Xiao Huang, I've heard of you. You brought out "The Beginning", right? Did you arrange this Dafei drama?"

Huang Wei nodded, "It's me."

Qiu Chengdong extended his thumb and said, "Awesome. I watched "Bright Sword" and it was pretty good."

"Director Qiu, you are also great. "I Am a Comedian" is a phenomenal variety show this year. I follow every episode."

The two exchanged business blows, and Huang Wei said, "How were the statistics of "The True Colors of War 2" yesterday?"

Qiu Chengdong glanced back at the office, and then whispered.

"It's average. I heard that the highest it was was 1.2, and that was when it was first broadcast."

The ratings of a TV series usually increase. It is relatively low at the beginning and gets higher as it is broadcast.

As for Li Zhilin's drama, it actually got lower and lower as it aired. This shows that the plot itself cannot retain people. The first wave of viewers came to watch it because of Li Zhilin's fame. As a result, the more people watched it, the more it became less popular, and the ratings naturally declined.

Huang Wei felt confident, nodded, and then left.

Li Zhilin's drama is incomparable with Da Fei's "Bright Sword". It's just that one is starring a big star and the other is a grassroots crew. The difference may not be big at the beginning. When the plot gets tense later, the ratings will probably be directly Just pulled away.

Xiaozhi Entertainment.

Li Zhilin was sitting in the office, looking a little ugly. He had just been scolded by his boss.

Although he is not the director of this drama, he is the lead actor and one of the investors. He hired the creative team and invested hundreds of millions, so he is given such a result?

Li Zhilin said to Guan Lu with a gloomy face.

"Play Da Fei's drama for me and let me watch it."

In the past, Li Zhilin was very resistant to Da Fei's works, and he has never seen "The Beginning" until now.

But that's not possible now. The two dramas are competing on the same stage, and he must understand the market.

I turned on the TV and glanced at the time. It was almost time for a rerun.

The two waited patiently for a while, and Guan Lu rubbed his shoulders to calm him down.

After watching the two episodes, Li Zhilin frowned.

Although I hate to admit it, Da Fei's drama is really awesome.

Guan Lu was also a little stunned, "Zhilin, this script is really awesome. Although there are no famous actors, Li Yunlong's performance is also great."

Li Zhilin nodded. He had seen this actor on the set at that time. He glanced at Da Fei's lineup. They looked like a bunch of ragtag people, but he didn't expect that they were all veteran actors and their acting skills were so superb.

And those college students actually acted so well. It was so funny when I saw it online, but when it was aired, their acting skills were quite explosive.

Especially the ones who speak Japanese, their mouth shapes are all right. This is obviously not due to dubbing in the later stage, but because they can speak Japanese themselves.

In his plays, the Japanese all speak broken Chinese.

The audience didn't think anything of it at first, but as soon as "Bright Sword" came out, there was an immediate contrast.

Just because of this point, "The True Colors of War 2" was criticized a lot.

Guan Lu was a little worried, "Zhilin, what should we do now?"

Li Zhilin said, "Let's talk to Tianxun Video first and ask them not to buy the copyright of "Bright Sword" so that I can lower the share ratio."

Guan Lu said, "Is this possible?"

Li Zhilin said, "Give it a try. His drama is not popular yet, and those video platforms don't know the TV station data yet. They all want to sign me. If I make this request, no one will refuse."

Guan Lu nodded, Zhilin was still more skilled.

If none of these video platforms sign "Bright Sword", then "Bright Sword" will have to be broadcast on TV, or it will be signed to those small platforms.

No matter how many times it is broadcast on TV, Dafei and the others will not make any profit. At most, it is relatively well-known. It is good to make a wave of money. Needless to say, it is a small platform. It has no influence and does not have many users.

If he wants to make a lot of money, he has to take commissions on big video platforms. Li Zhilin directly blocked his way, and he will still rush to the street.

Li Zhilin immediately contacted the directors of the four video platforms to discuss this matter specifically.

For people like Lin Chudong, as long as this drama loses money, they will definitely not dare to make another one.

Even if he made a lot of money from "The Beginning", he probably invested all of it in this drama. If he lost all of it, he would basically be kicked out of the TV drama industry.

Lin Chudong started recording "Longing" and didn't answer the phone for a whole day.

In the evening, the recording was completed.

Lin Chudong was lying in the mushroom house, and then he turned on his phone and took a look.

There are several missed calls and WeChat messages.

One of them is Yan Chaoxu, the director of Youmei Video.

When "The Beginning" was released before, Yan Chaoxu was the first director he looked for. As a result, they didn't like the show and in order to please Li Zhilin, they gave up.

Later, "The Beginning" became a hit, and Yan Chaoxu regretted it terribly. A SSS-level hit work just slipped away from his hands.

"Bright Sword" was broadcast yesterday, and Yan Chaoxu was very optimistic about it. He watched the replay again today, and the more he watched it, the more he liked it, so he quickly called Lin Chudong, but unfortunately he missed it.

Lin Chudong called back, knowing that Yan Chaoxu must be talking about authorization.

Although we have to wait for the TV station to finish broadcasting before authorizing it to them, we can talk about it first.

"Director Yan? I'm sorry, I didn't take my mobile phone when I was recording the show during the day."

"Haha, it's okay. You are very popular now. There are too many announcements and you are busy. It's normal."

"Director Yan, do you have something to do with me?"

Yan Chaoxu hesitated, "Originally I wanted to talk about the release of "Bright Sword", but it's okay now."

Lin Chudong said, "Oh? We can talk about it, I haven't signed with anyone else yet."

Lin Chudong is not going to sign an exclusive contract this time. Even if the salary is slightly lower, he does not want to be exclusive. According to Sister Huang, it is safer not to put all the eggs in one basket.

Yan Chaoxu said, "Forget it, I don't have a quota this month. You can ask other people."

"Oh, okay then."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Chudong was confused.

Yan Chaoxu, what is going on? We don’t even want to talk about it anymore?

Can this be considered an excuse if there is no quota?

He is the director, not the editor-in-chief below, so how could he not have a quota? This is such a poor excuse.

And it was a call from him on his own initiative. What's going on?

Lin Chudong didn't take it seriously. The last time he cooperated with Yan Chaoxu, he failed to cooperate. He was obviously closer to Li Zhilin's team. It didn't matter if he didn't cooperate this time. Anyway, "Bright Sword" had only aired two episodes.

Then he flipped through his phone and called Liang Yin back.

"Lady boss, what's wrong?"

Liang Yin said, "There is something strange. When "Bright Sword" was replayed in the morning, four video platforms called me to inquire about cooperation. I told them to contact you, and then in the afternoon, they all called me. Say no, I won’t cooperate.”

Lin Chudong frowned slightly, "Four platforms? Tianxun, Youyou, Kiwi and Mango?"

Liang Yin said, "Yes, these four platforms all called me. They said they wanted to cooperate in the morning, but in the afternoon they said no. This is too strange."

Lin Chudong said, "Indeed, even if you don't cooperate, you won't have to call and say it, right? Let me ask about this."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Chudong called Huang Wei.

After chatting about it for a while, Huang Wei immediately asked for help.

Then the call came back.

"I asked my colleagues at Tianxun Video. It was Vice President Mei who signed an agreement with Li Zhilin's company. "The True Colors of War 2" will be released simultaneously on Tianxun Video, and the unit price is only 6 yuan without membership sharing, but there is one condition. Just can’t sign "Bright Sword" because the same type of drama avoids competition."

Lin Chudong's face darkened when he heard this. It was indeed Li Zhilin's fault.

"Sister Huang, is Li Zhilin so capable? Can he speak on all four platforms?"

Huang Wei said, "There is no way. Li Zhilin has his own traffic and is still famous. The most important thing is that your drama has only aired two episodes. Although it has potential, the major platforms cannot get the data now. I don't know what's going on. It belongs to I signed the contract in a daze and was tricked by Li Zhilin.”

"Looking back, this drama became a big hit and the station released the data. All these platforms will regret it."

"Li Zhilin is hurting the enemy by 1,000 and losing 800 by himself. He would rather earn less, but sign up with major platforms first to block your money-making routes and destroy you."

As soon as Huang Wei heard about this, she knew what Li Zhilin was thinking.

If she were still at Tianxun Video, she would definitely not agree to this.

It’s just that now she has given up her word. In addition, these directors are not clear about the data of "Bright Sword", so they signed this contract.

Lin Chudong sneered.

You idiots, you know nothing about the power of "Bright Sword"!
