The following days.
Due to the hit broadcast of Xianjian.
The film and television industry's heat remained high.
As the plot of Xianjian unfolded.
The relationship between Li Xiaoyao and Ling'er, and the addition of Lin Yueru, made many viewers grind their teeth.
"Lin Yueru is a mistress, Li Xiaoyao is a scumbag!"
"Nonsense, Li Xiaoyao lost his memory, he doesn't remember marrying Ling'er at all!"
"There is no right or wrong in love, and Lin Yueru did not destroy the relationship between Li Xiaoyao and Ling'er. The song "Always So Quiet" written by the old thief Tingyu perfectly interprets Lin Yueru's love."
"Although she likes Li Xiaoyao, she has always been helping Li Xiaoyao and Ling'er get back together."
From a god's perspective, the drama fans saw Li Xiaoyao flirting around while still having Ling'er, and Lin Yueru was not likable when she first appeared.
At this time, the greatest use of the original novel fans was demonstrated.
They explained the characteristics of the drama to the drama fans without giving away spoilers.
"The biggest characteristic of the old thief Jiangnan's plot is that everyone has corresponding character settings, Li Xiaoyao's chivalry, Ling'er's responsibility, Yueru's devotion, which makes his plot very real. Everyone has helplessness, and there are places in human nature that are worth learning and savoring, so Yueru cannot be simply described as a mistress."
"The old thief rarely has black and white settings in his books, so don't look at his plot with ordinary eyes, otherwise you will lose a lot of fun."
"Look ahead, it's still love, but this drama includes countless kinds of love, great love, small love, and many human natures that make people think deeply."
The best environment for a drama is for the original novel fans to use their experience to answer questions for newly entered viewers.
Instead of original novel fans and drama fans fighting, and then creating hype to increase topic popularity.
The comments in Xianjian were harmonious.
Not only in the comments of Wen Jian, but also on the Weibo of the original author Liu Yun, there was a wave of scolding.
Finally, Liu Yun couldn't stand it anymore and posted a Weibo.
"Having written books for ten years, I also hope that my hard work can be respected, and that the characters and plot can be perfectly restored, but I am not Jiangnan..."
The short few sentences were full of deep helplessness, and he even added a bitter smile emoji at the end.
I am not Jiangnan.
His meaning was already very obvious.
Not every author is lucky enough to become a screenwriter for a TV series.
He has been writing for ten years, and although he has published a few hit books, they are not enough in the face of capital.
He does not have such great influence.
In fact, it's not just him who envies Jiangnan; many authors in the industry envy Jiangnan for becoming famous with one book and successfully transforming into a screenwriter, allowing their works to be restored to the greatest extent.
This is the dream of all online novel authors.
...
During the broadcast of the TV series.
The cast and crew of Xianjian also did not rest. Various variety show invitations increased their exposure to a terrifying extent.
Among them, Shen Qingfeng, the male lead, was triumphant. He was appreciated by Tingyu in the music industry and by Jiangnan in the film and television industry.
He was hailed by many fans as the luckiest man in the entertainment industry, directly rivaling Gong Juren, who was specially taken care of by Tingyu.
The star-making ability of TV series is much stronger than music. If you star in a TV series with likable characters, you will instantly gain countless fans.
In Xianjian, the character of the Wine Sword Immortal was liked by many people, and Xie Hao, the veteran actor who played him, also became popular.
#The most handsome Sword Immortal in history!#
To be noticed by so many people, Xie Hao was a little flattered. He had been acting for most of his life, and he never expected that a Wine Sword Immortal would make him popular.
"Thank you Xianjian, thank you Jiangnan!" Xie Hao, a veteran actor in his forties, couldn't help but shed tears while smiling on the show.
He still remembered when he was auditioning, he stood alone in a corner, ignored by everyone, and was almost knocked down by Zhang Qingyun's bodyguard.
Now, everyone who sees him calls him Teacher Xie Hao.
The sudden change made him feel like he had finally succeeded.
However, he also knew that his current popularity was all thanks to Jiangnan giving him the opportunity to play the Wine Sword Immortal.
Therefore, Xie Hao thanked Jiangnan on almost every program he attended.
The others in the crew also knew that they had done something amazing, which was to use a group of newcomers and veteran actors to defeat traffic, or rather, to crush them.
After all, after so many days, the overall popularity of Xianjian on the entire network had completely crushed Wen Jian Xun Xian.
And the few traffic stars from Wen Jian had lost countless fans.
No one expected that in the already established traffic film and television market.
They would face such great backlash for filming a drama.
The current criticisms against Wen Jian, such as AI face swapping, not memorizing lines, poor acting, and cutout scenes, are all commonly used in traffic dramas. No one used to care about this, but the emergence of Xianjian made many people see how good a well-produced drama could be. Many people finally realized that actors don't just need a good-looking face, and that a Xianxia drama with good acting and good special effects could be this good.
...
Guangnian Entertainment.
Li Hongyi and the main creative team of Wen Jian sat in the conference room in silence.
They never expected the market sentiment to be so strong. Xianjian, which they had originally treated as a foil, suddenly became popular all over the network. Not only that, but by comparison, it also affected the reputation of their drama.
Now, the rating of "Wen Jian Xun Xian" on Doubao has dropped to 3.2, which is an insult to traffic for a traffic drama.
"In the past, it was traffic fans creating their own bubble, and original novel fans couldn't fight traffic fans, but this time, not only are there original novel fans, but also a very large general audience. This situation hasn't appeared in the film and television industry for a long time."
The director of the operations department analyzed the incident.
The general audience represents the masses. This is a huge market. They usually don't pay much attention to traffic dramas, so no matter how bad they are, they won't attract them.
But no one expected that Xianjian would have such a large general audience this time. Coupled with the grievances between the two dramas, it directly put "Wen Jian Xun Xian" in opposition to Xianjian.
As a result, traffic fans suffered successive defeats, and many traffic fans even started to like Xianjian, directly abandoning their original fandom.
From now on, "Wen Jian Xun Xian" has completely become a joke.
The main actors have also had their public image completely collapse.
Especially the lead actor Zhang Qingyun, who has become the "Brother Ma" of the entire network.
Memes like "spiritual energy turning into a horse," "AI acting," and "cutout master" are endless.
"President Li, this is not my fault. Zhang Qingyun and the others are so high-profile. Even as the director, I can't control them..." Song Rentou panicked.
The ratings have dropped to 0.03%. He knew that this drama would be nailed to the pillar of shame, and he himself would not fare any better. His reputation, built up over so many years, was instantly shattered.
There are already many people online boycotting the dramas he directed.
Li Hongyi frowned, saying nothing.
After a long time.
He slowly got up.
And sighed.
And walked out of the conference room.
"Alas..."
