The star is legit but sick.

Chapter 477 Never expected the offline competition

Unexpectedly, the official Weibo account immediately announced the news that "Unexpectedly" had passed the review.

However, everyone was a little confused after seeing the information about "Unexpectedly".

This is actually a web drama?
The drama in which Xu Ye personally stars is actually just an online drama.

These days, although online dramas have been well-known and accepted by the public, in the entertainment industry, online dramas are still at the lower end of the contempt chain.

With Xu Ye's identity, it is not a problem to act in a TV series that can be broadcast on TV. Even if he plays the leading role, there will be countless capital to pay him to act.

After all, as long as Xu Ye stars, the show will definitely make money.

But online dramas are different. They are only broadcast on online platforms, and the audience is smaller.

If you star in a web drama, you will basically miss out on major awards.

Among the major awards, there are awards specially arranged for web dramas, but compared with the number of awards for traditional TV dramas, there are only a few web dramas.

However, Xu Ye's opponents in the entertainment industry didn't think so.

Without the blessing of "Wulin Gaiden" and "Hurry", Xu Ye would be forgiven for starring in an online drama.

The popularity of the entertainment industry is almost monopolized by Xu Ye.

Song Zhengqi could only hold back the anger in his heart and vent it all on his secretary.

Xu Ye and Xu Nanjia both starred in the play. Isn't this attractive enough?

Since Xu Ye played a web drama card, he also played a web drama card.

After seeing the news about "Never Expected", Song Zhengqi made a decision.

If Xu Ye chooses not to be a star, it can only be because he has no confidence in this work.

"Maybe this drama is just a love drama Xu Ye made for him and Xiao Xu. As for the plot, it must be shoddy."

"What's the point of making a web series? How popular can your web series be?"

However, this is not absolute. There are also backdoor ways to allow films that are obviously bad dramas to gain star status.

This is also the path that many celebrities will take.

Then Jade Bird Entertainment was even less able to recruit a music director.

It's not common sense to act in an online drama.

Jade Bird Entertainment also has two online dramas to be aired this year. Both dramas are in the urban love genre, the production costs are not high, and the actors participating are several newcomers.

"The dean is so confused. He is starring in a web drama for half a day!"

Comparing the quality of this work with his previous two dramas, the quality is too poor.

Fortunately, Xu Ye's album has finally been released.

"Patients, something is wrong. From the beginning of preparations for this drama to now, I feel something is wrong."

The patients at Huohua Hospital just felt that something was not right here.

Do you think the drama he stars in will be a star drama?

Xu Ye never plays by the rules.

If someone like Xu Ye really wants to be a star, some TV stations won't refuse him just because of the traffic he carries.

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster, and finally everyone came to a unified view.

In the month when Xu Ye released his album, Song Zhengqi could not move forward with any other business except keeping company with his secretary Hongchen every day.

But this is already a basic operation for Xu Ye.

After coming to this conclusion, Mr. Song Zhengqi from Jade Bird Entertainment felt like he was energetic again.

"I checked everything, and I never expected that not a single actor in the crew has a professional background. It can be said that the crew is all amateurs."

He doesn't use other people's back door, and he won't let others use his back door.

We had originally made an appointment with a well-known music producer in the industry to come over for a chat, but after the release of "Qili Xiang", the music producer suddenly fell ill and needed to rest and was unable to come to work.

"To this day, he doesn't even dare to star. This shows that Xu Ye has no confidence in his drama!"

That's because the final film of this drama was so bad that it couldn't even be considered a star.

Major film and television companies have also speculated.

"To this day, we still don't know what the story of this drama is, and we can't understand the synopsis of the story. The patients who came to the scene as guest stars don't speak, as if they are autistic."

Who would have thought that one of the four major entertainment companies in the industry would still have the position of music director vacant.

But everyone in the entertainment industry knows that although Xu Ye is shameless, he is still very serious about his work.

As a result, he is now telling you that this is actually a web drama.

But you are already here, you shouldn’t be.

He had waited too long for Xu Ye to overturn.

"Xu Ye's first major drama was actually an online drama. Isn't he still not confident in his acting skills?"

If a drama wants to be put on a TV station, the TV station's film purchasing department will also review the content of the film, and it is impossible for all TV stations to show it.

Although he is a new actor, with the blessing of various exposures, he has already gained traffic.

Song Zhengqi originally planned to release these two dramas before the end of the year, which coincided with the release of one of them at the same time as Xu Ye's online drama.

"Our drama uses all new actors, and the audience's expectations are not too high. The quality of the drama is not bad. As long as it is broadcast, the audience will basically praise it. Xu Ye is different. Everyone has expectations for him. It's too high, and if the quality of the online drama drops, it will be criticized." Song Zhengqi thought in his heart.

By then, their dramas will definitely be compared by everyone, and they will be able to gain Xu Ye's popularity.

However, Song Zhengqi misjudged one thing.

Is it possible that this show is not suitable for stardom, rather than not being able to starve?

Many people in the industry have become rigid in their thinking. In their view, the drama starring Xu Ye must be a star. If it is not a star, it must be of poor quality.

In fact, in Xu Ye's view, it doesn't matter whether it is a star or not. If a drama is suitable, it will be a star, and if it is not, it will not be a star.

What's more, now that we have entered the Internet era, the influence of TV stations will only decline year by year, and there is absolutely no possibility of growth.

"Unexpectedly" is a drama that is very suitable for the Chinese Internet.

As the news that "Wan Wan Wan Fang" passed review began to ferment, the official Weibo account and Penguin Video also determined the final broadcast time.

The broadcast time of online dramas is relatively free, but due to the proximity of the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival, the final broadcast time is set for October 6th.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day are celebrated together, with a total of eight days of holiday. October 6 is a Friday, the third to last day of the holiday.

It's just that the broadcast schedule of "Unexpectedly" is a bit inappropriate, because it only updates three episodes every week, one episode each on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Compared with "Wan Wan Wan Fang" on Earth, which only updates one episode per week, three episodes per week is already very conscientious.

It's not that Xu Ye doesn't want to update quickly, but because this drama is too short.

If it were updated like other TV series, the effect would be greatly reduced.

Penguin Video wouldn’t agree either.

Lu Yuan, the vice president of Penguin Video, initially thought that "Unexpectedly" was just a TV series broadcast on an online video platform, but he understood after he was roped into the crew to make a guest appearance.

"This play is too short, so it can only satisfy the audience three times a week. In this way, the audience will always think about you and ignore the shortness of the play."

Lu Yuan just arranged it.

He is also curious about how much impact such a special drama can have on the Internet.

At this time, in the office, Lu Yuan was handling work.

His assistant knocked on the door and walked in.

The assistant holds a folder in his hand.

The assistant placed the folder on Lu Yuan's desk and said, "Mr. Lu, this is a publicity plan that we never expected to be provided by the publicity team. We need our cooperation."

Lu Yuan nodded and asked, "Did you read it? How was it?"

The expression on the assistant's face was a little unnatural, and he said: "I can't say, you'd better take a look for yourself."

There was a look of confusion on Lu Yuan's face. His assistant's professional ability was beyond words, and he was very easy to use.

It's hard for him to explain. Is there something else he doesn't understand about this plan?

"It seems it's time for me to take action. I still need to say a few words."

Lu Yuan reached out and took the folder, opened it and started reading.

The publicity work of a drama is very important, including the pre-heating publicity, the publicity during the broadcast, and the final finishing publicity.

This already has a standard process in the industry.

The plan in his hand is about preliminary publicity.

These tasks were never expected to be done by the publicity team and Penguin Video together.

In Lu Yuan's view, it was nothing more than hot-spot marketing on major online platforms, with Xu Ye's name hanging on the hot searches for a few days.

As for Penguin Video, a large poster is directly promoted in the software. If that doesn't work, you can also send text messages to users.

These can basically guarantee the coverage of most users.

But when he saw the contents of the publicity plan, everyone was stunned.

"Never thought about a competition? Offline events?"

Lu Yuan looked at the activity introduction below.

As a result, he was stunned in the first game.

"Eating melon seeds but not eating them? Is this a fucking disease? What kind of competition is this!"

It was hard for Lu Yuan to imagine how strong a person's mental state would be if he ate melon seeds but didn't eat them.

During the competition, you have to endure it and not eat.

This event is an offline promotional event that I never expected.

Xu Ye is planning to do something different for this publicity event. What’s the point of just playing online? It’s time to do some offline activities. If you want to have fun, everyone has to have fun together.

These offline activities also allow the actors in the "Unexpectedly" crew to come out and get to know the audience.

Xu Ye has great uses for these actors.

As soon as Lu Yuan saw this offline activity, he knew it must be Xu Ye.

No one except Xu Ye could plan such an outrageous event.

But thinking about it carefully, he was not the one participating in the event, he was just watching the fun.

"It seems quite refreshing to see a group of people eating melon seeds, but they can't eat melon seeds."

Lu Yuan thought happily, and he continued to look down. What he didn't expect was that there were quite a few types of competitions, each one more outrageous than the last.

The lying down and no moving competition requires contestants to lie on a yoga mat and cannot move their bodies, including turning over and moving their buttocks.

Another outrageous one is the laughter-suppression contest, where the audience is shown funny videos, but the contestants are asked not to laugh.

This is a bit too much, who can bear it, and laughter is contagious.

When the time comes, if one person starts laughing during the competition, it is guaranteed to eliminate a large number of people.

After scanning the plan, Lu Yuan had the same idea as his assistant.

It's hard to say.

I have never done this kind of offline activity before, and I have never seen anyone else do it.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan picked up his cell phone and called Xu Ye.

After the call was connected, Lu Yuan asked: "Xu Ye, how many viewers do you think this offline event can bring?"

Xu Ye asked, "Is this important?"

Lu Yuan was stunned when he heard this.

Xu Ye continued: "While everyone was happy, they remembered that five words were enough."

After hearing this, Lu Yuan immediately understood the key here.

Xu Ye didn't expect this offline event to directly bring in many viewers. What he wanted was potential viewers.

"Okay, then go according to your activity plan." Lu Yuandao.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yuan came to his senses.

He suddenly realized that he couldn't see through Xu Ye.

Because what Xu Ye just said was to make everyone happy, instead of putting unexpected publicity at the forefront.

"Isn't he doing these activities just for fun?" A bold idea came to Lu Yuan's mind.

Xu Ye, that is a real Tuyile master.

He did many things for no other reason than to have fun.

After the event plan was finalized, the publicity team started working immediately.

The next day, Wan Wan Wan Fang's official Weibo released the theme song "Wan Wan Wan Fang", and the name of this theme song was Wan Wan Wan Fang.

This is a song that is familiar to many netizens on the planet. Even if some people have never watched "Unexpectedly", they have heard the melody of the chorus of this song in many places.

As soon as the theme song was released, Han Ran, the captain of the security team of Huohua Academy, clicked on Weibo. As someone who had made a guest appearance in an unexpected scene, Han Ran should pay more attention to this drama.

Anyway, she still hasn't figured out what this show is about.

In short, just the part of the plot she participated in was outrageous enough.

Yesterday, he never expected that after the broadcast time was announced, Han Ran felt secretly happy when looking at various discussions on the Internet.

Because all the speculations on the Internet are wrong, it feels so good to know that no one else knows, but she knows.

"Anyway, this drama is definitely not a serious drama. If it were a serious drama, how could the dean not be a star?"

Han Ran thought to himself as he opened the video of the theme song.

After the video started playing, the first thing that caught my eye were the five characters "Never Expected" and the song information of the song.

The lyrics, composition and arrangement are all by Xu Ye, while the singers are Xu Ye and Zhou Dachen.

What's interesting is that I never expected that there are five characters "Legend of Wang Dachui" above the five characters, and there is a picture behind it. In this picture, Xu Ye is wearing a yellow wig, and there are two horns on his head. Kind of like a monster.

This image is indeed an image of Wang Dachui in the play.

Han Ran realized this immediately based on her experience in the crew.

"This drama is really a mixture of various styles."

At this time, the prelude of the song sounded, and the overall melody was very cheerful.

Then, the scene from the main film also appeared on the screen.

With his hair tied back tightly and his forehead exposed, Wang Dachui, unshaven and wearing ancient costume, stared at the sword in his hand in astonishment.

Xu Ye's image cannot be said to be bad, it can only be said to be too bad. Compared with his handsomeness in reality, it is completely subverted.

Anyway, Han Ran doesn't look handsome at all from this image.

But Han Ran, who had seen Xu Ye's other weird look, was already used to it.

When this image appeared in her eyes, she felt a sense of relief.

If Xu Ye really becomes handsome in this drama, something big will happen.

Then various images of Xu Ye in the drama appeared in the video one after another.

Some of them are ancient costumes, and some are modern costumes.

In the end, all the pictures turned into Wang Dachui's paralyzed face with dull eyes.

Paralyzed faces flashed by one after another, and Han Ran was dumbfounded.

"How many roles did Wang Dachui play in this drama?"

Just then, singing started.

"The pressure of life made me forget who I am. I wanted to be a hero but I'm still the unlucky Wang Dachui~"

This section still leans towards the rap style.

The video also showed the appearance of Wang Dachui in the episode when Han Ran made a guest appearance.

With only his thumbs in his pockets, Wang Dachui appeared in front of the audience with a swaying walking posture.

Then, the scene switched to Zhou Dachen in the recording studio.

Zhou Dachen's singing sounded.

"The way of this world makes you helpless, and you don't know whether it's good or bad~"

"The changes are too fast, and I'm afraid that I will miss this era~"

Although Zhou Dachen's singing skills are not very good, fortunately, this song does not require high singing skills.

Just being mindful is enough.

The lyrics are very simple, but they have a layer of connotation in them.

At this time, the screen turned and showed a man walking on the road holding a woman's arm.

However, this woman had a picture of Xiao Xu on her head.

"Hahaha! What the hell is this!"

Xiao Xu's avatar looks silly, it's so magical.

Xu Ye's singing also sounded.

"Looking around, looking around, there is so much confusion~"

"I think of, I think of, running under the sunset~"

Zhou Dachen followed closely and sang one of his classic lines in the play.

"That's you, that's you, your lost youth~"

After the lyrics are sung, the song enters the chorus.

The song sounded and the scene in the video reached a climax.

"I never expected that my moral integrity would be gone~"

"I never expected that the world is so amazing~"

"I never expected that Yoyo Chek would make trouble~"

"I never expected it, la la la la la~"

In the video, famous funny scenes from the play also appeared.

The melody of the chorus is so simple that you can basically listen to it once.

Han Ran only felt that these lyrics were too brainwashing.

It's just that she doesn't have too deep feelings at this time, so this song must be better matched with the main film.

When the video came to an end and the song ended, the video screen went black and a line of words appeared on it.

"Never expected that offline competitions will be held in Ancheng, Beijing, Magic City, Hangzhou... and other places. Please click the button on the picture to view the details."

At the end of this paragraph, there is indeed a picture of a button.

Han Ran pressed it subconsciously, and then the video paused.

For a moment, Han Ran felt that her mind had been insulted.

This is a video. If you put a button in the video, nothing will happen if you click it!

are you crazy!
