Chapter 486: You’ll understand when you reach my age (please vote for the big chapter)
Today is also the day when the Jade Bird Entertainment online drama "You Are My Savior" is aired.
The broadcast time of this urban idol drama is the same as "Unexpectedly".
The difference is that this drama is broadcast on Orange Video.
As early as the early announcement process, the "You Are My Savior" team felt a lot of pressure.
Mr. Song from Jade Bird Entertainment sent their drama to compete with the drama starring Xu Ye. This is not trying to hit a rock with an egg.
Especially later, the entire team of "Unexpectedly" has completely crushed "You Are My Savior" in terms of popularity through various online and offline activities.
Everyone regarded the drama "Unexpectedly" as an invincible opponent.
Xu Ye and Xu Nanjia co-starred and even wrote the script themselves.
What happened to the web drama?
It's just that this drama is suitable for broadcasting on the Internet.
Fortunately, the initial investment in this drama is not high, and the actors are all newcomers, so even if it loses money, it won't be much of a loss.
It's not that he is unprofessional, it's mainly that some of the plots in this drama are so embarrassing that he can't stand it.
He uses his trumpet, and the company manages the big one.
The various marketing plans arranged for him by the company failed to work under Xu Ye's influence.
He quickly looked at the time. Xu Ye's Weibo was posted at 8:08, and "Unexpectedly" was updated at 8:00 sharp.
"Have you finished watching the first episode?"
All kinds of anxiety mixed together made Zhang Junjie develop the habit of smoking.
Who is not a fan of Xu Ye?
After entering the entertainment industry, his life was very painful, especially when he saw the company's performance getting worse and worse. Many senior people in the company did not renew their contracts after they expired.
"I'm just a freshly graduated college student. What do I know? I'll do whatever you ask me to do."
As a result, he never expected that as soon as he joined Jade Bird Entertainment, Xu Ye would rise strongly on the stage of "Tomorrow's Superstars".
Zhang Junjie's favorite is the song "I'm Not Really Happy" because he feels that he is not really happy now, and this song sings to his heart.
After Xu Ye entered the film and television drama industry, the situation was different.
The final result was obvious, Song Zhengqi failed.
Right after graduation, he signed a contract with Jade Bird Entertainment, one of the four major companies in the entertainment industry, which was the envy of many classmates at the time.
As for the reaction after the show aired, he didn't want to watch it at all.
The entertainment industry is also a very involved place, but once it gets involved, the benefits are very considerable.
That's right, Zhang Junjie's trumpet followed Xu Ye.
Zhang Junjie thought for a while and decided to check Weibo.
Zhang Junjie smoked a cigarette and played several games, but kept losing. After finally winning a game, he put down his mobile phone.
Some female classmates even expressed their willingness to pay something, as long as Zhang Junjie was willing to introduce them to the senior officials of Jade Bird Entertainment.
On the first day, he raised his opinion on the set and was scolded by the director.
Among workers, there are few who are not depressed after coming back from work all day.
As a small artist under Jade Bird Entertainment, Zhang Junjie encountered an unexpected disaster.
At that time, many people in the company were thinking, Xu Ye, why didn't you agree to Song Zhengqi's request? Didn't you just come to the company and be the boss's dog for a few years?
How many people want the opportunity to be a dog?
Zhang Junjie no longer hates Xu Ye at all. On the contrary, he quite envies Xu Ye.
To sum up his life after graduation, there are two words: unlucky!
Zhang Junjie opened Penguin Video and clicked on "Unexpectedly".
Unfortunately, he signed a three-year contract with the company and couldn't leave even if he wanted to.
What opinions do you have as a newcomer? Just shut up and film.
Zhang Junjie thought so in his heart.
What many people in the company think is, Song Zhengqi, you are such a big fool! Why do you want to offend Xu Ye!
To say that Zhang Junjie hates Xu Ye, he did so a little bit last year.
So undead, his boss Song Zhengqi wanted to deal with Xu Ye the same way he dealt with them.
But because he is a small star now, he must be in a safe place when smoking.
He was in a rather depressed mood.
Zhang Junjie, the male lead in "You Are My Savior", just graduated from the drama school last year and signed a contract with Jade Bird Entertainment.
After refreshing it, Xu Ye's latest Weibo post appeared on the homepage.
Zhang Junjie stared at Xu Ye's Weibo for a long time and couldn't figure out what it meant.
Even if it’s a web drama and one episode is shorter, it’s impossible to finish it so quickly, right?
"Something's wrong!"
Today, Zhang Junjie and the crew went back to the hotel after promoting the TV series.
After all, if this is photographed by the paparazzi, there will inevitably be some trouble, and the company will find reasons to deduct money.
The reason he didn't check it out right away was simply because he felt there were too few updates.
You update one episode a day, which is enough for anyone to watch.
He planned to save more and watch it together.
But Xu Ye’s Weibo is too wrong.
After opening the video, an overwhelming barrage flooded the screen.
"Never imagined!"
"It's too short!"
"The pinnacle of domestic martial arts!"
"do it again!"
Zhang Junjie looked confused.
What a barrage this is.
"The pinnacle of domestic martial arts dramas? Xu Ye's drama turned out to be a martial arts drama?"
Zhang Junjie looked at the progress bar.
After seeing the length of this episode, others were dumbfounded.
"This episode is less than five minutes long? It's impossible, right? Is there a mistake?"
But in the selection options, there is only this episode.
That means it’s really only this episode!
After eliminating all impossible answers, the final answer is still the truth no matter how outrageous it is!
Zhang Junjie murmured: "The first drama starring Xu Ye, the first episode is only five minutes? Isn't this a trailer?"
What story can be told in five minutes?
I'm afraid the characters haven't even been introduced clearly yet.
The video has started playing.
"My name is Wang Dachui. I never expected that..."
As Wang Dachui's lines and looks came out, Zhang Junjie was immediately attracted.
In less than five minutes, he couldn't count how many times he laughed. In short, he laughed until his stomach hurt.
After the episode ended, Zhang Junjie slapped the table repeatedly.
"Too short! So pretty! So funny!"
He has rarely smiled so happily since he became a senior.
Life is too stressful.
If you want to be prominent in front of others, you have to suffer behind others.
His classmates only envy him for signing with the Bluebirds, but they don't know how much he paid behind the scenes.
In other words, no one cares.
After graduating and entering society, many things in this circle refreshed Zhang Junjie's outlook on life.
When he was in school, he would join the netizens in scolding why the show was so ugly.
As a result, in society, we can’t help ourselves.
This year was the year that Zhang Junjie was washed away from the entertainment industry.
His heart was tangled.
Tangled people are the most miserable.
But today, he saw Wang Dachui, which made him laugh for a long time.
The first episode, a domestic low-cost martial arts drama.
With five-cent special effects, it was praised by netizens as the pinnacle of domestic martial arts.
Zhang Junjie said that he was deceived by the barrage.
The moment he saw the fire and frost special effects appear, his cerebellum shrank.
What happened next was something he never expected.
Zhang Junjie has a stronger sense of immersion.
Because when he was in college, he worked as an extra in a martial arts drama.
That drama is indeed a low-cost martial arts drama. It was criticized a lot after it was aired. It scored an astonishing 3.9 points on Mungdou.com.
As for the special effects, they really feel a bit like Wang Dachui.
"Xu Ye is so awesome!"
Zhang Junjie exclaimed.
He originally wanted to share his unexpected thoughts with his friends in college, but when he thought about it, these friends were now in the entertainment industry.
He is an artist of Jade Bird. Once he shares Xu Ye's drama and it is exposed online, he will inevitably be punished by the company.
For a moment, Zhang Junjie felt a little jade.
This feeling of having something good but not being able to share it with friends is really uncomfortable.
In the end, Zhang Junjie just used his Weibo account to post a Weibo post on a topic he never expected.
“Highly recommended, never expected it, it’s really super funny!”
It's just that his trumpet account has almost no influence, and posting on Weibo is purely for his own entertainment.
Zhang Junjie was in a very happy mood.
He felt that the fatigue from these days had disappeared a lot.
A good laugh can really relax you.
At this time, Zhang Junjie suddenly remembered something serious.
"That's bad, my drama is at the same time as Xu Ye's!"
Zhang Junjie already had a premonition that Mr. Song was going to be furious again.
Whenever Mr. Song gets angry, Mr. Song's secretaries will suffer.
Zhang Junjie quickly opened the chat software to take a look at what the creative team of "You Are My Savior" were saying in the group.
Sure enough, people in the group were already discussing it.
"Didn't expect to see them all? What do you think?"
This question was asked by the director.
The answer below is all that they haven’t read it.
Whether you see it or not, you know it in your heart.
Zhang Junjie also replied without reading it.
The director replied: "I really didn't expect that the first drama starring Xu Ye would be a short drama, and the plot was so simple. He fooled all of us."
It really deceived everyone, and many people didn't react until they watched the first episode.
Zhang Junjie was sensible and did not express his opinion. He was already a mature social person.
At this moment, the screenwriter spoke.
This screenwriter's name is Chen Guangze. His status is very unusual and he is very powerful in the circle because he is not just a screenwriter, but also a capital.
The drama "You Are My Savior" was first written by Chen Guangze and then attracted people to invest in it.
When he was on the set, the director didn't dare to offend Chen Guangze.
Chen Guangze said directly: "I just spent five minutes watching the first episode. It's such a bad show. I don't understand what it means."
As soon as Chen Guangze sent a message, someone immediately responded.
"I think so too. It's embarrassing for people watching."
"And Xu Ye's appearance, I don't think there is any beauty in it."
"I used to think that this drama was not just a waste of money for Xu Ye, but now it seems that it is a waste of money."
Seeing these words, Zhang Junjie was very confused.
"I think this drama is very interesting and funny. Does this kind of drama count as a bad drama?"
Zhang Junjie didn't speak in the group, but fortunately no one forced him to express his position.
At this time, a new message prompt popped up on the phone.
It was sent to him by the leading actress of the drama "Savior".
This female lead is about the same age as him and is also a newcomer.
Zhang Junjie opened it and looked at it.
The female lead said: "I never expected it. It's so funny. I've never seen a drama like this."
Zhang Junjie said with some surprise: "Did you really watch it?"
The female number one sent a sentence directly.
"My life has no regrets. I think of running under the sunset that day. That is my lost youth."
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Junjie knew that the female lead had not lied to him.
He immediately replied: "I want a bridal chamber, I want, I want, I want a bridal chamber!" The two of them were just like the secret code for a butt meeting.
Afterwards, the female lead began to complain about Chen Guangze.
This is not the first time they have complained. When they were on the set, the actors often complained in private.
At the end of the chat, the female lead asked: "Do you think you never expected that Chen Guangze was really talking about a bad drama?"
From a traditional point of view, this drama is really shoddy, the special effects are rubbish, the characters' expressions are not vivid, and the lines are a bit crazy.
When Chen Guangze said it was a bad drama, he was speaking from his perspective.
Zhang Junjie thought seriously for a while and replied: "I don't know if it is a bad drama, but at least, during the five minutes I watched the drama, I felt happy from the bottom of my heart."
The female lead replied: "I think so too."
Tonight, on the Internet, while other film and television dramas have just been updated, the first batch of viewers watched the first episode of "Unexpectedly".
Xu Ye's Weibo post received a lot of criticism from netizens.
"Dean, are you sure your mental state is okay? Tell me carefully, what kind of drama is this!"
"I've been waiting for so long, and you only came to me for five minutes. You can't satisfy me at all!"
"While watching this show, my mind was filled with things I never expected!"
"Dean, I really thought that all your previous promotional materials were lies to us. I didn't expect that you really didn't lie to us. Your makeup blinded my eyes!"
"My name is the captain of the security team of Huohua Academy. I never expected that an online drama starring a top-notch actor would only last five minutes."
In the comment area, many people have already begun to make jokes about the show.
What is never expected? This is called never expected!
I never expected that this topic would reach the top of the hot search list very quickly.
Many viewers had an unexpected feeling after watching this drama.
I never expected Xu Ye to act in such a drama.
The plot was also completely unexpected.
It can be said that this drama was completely unexpected from the beginning.
The audience finally understood why none of the characters in this drama had their makeup photos posted.
Because there is no fixed shape at all.
Wang Dachui’s face is the shape.
By the next day, the online discussion had increased instead of falling.
"These lines must have been thought up by Xu Ye, they are so funny!"
"I watched it on the subway this morning, and I laughed out loud on the subway."
"That's my lost youth!"
"I've been under a lot of pressure these past few days to take the postgraduate entrance exam. I almost laughed to death after watching the first episode. Wang Dachui, update soon!"
Many netizens have already urged the update.
There will definitely be some different voices here, which is normal. No film or television drama can be liked by everyone.
These situations were all within Xu Ye's expectations.
He put "Never Expected" at the very beginning to prepare for "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance".
Nonsensical comedy is coming!
In a community in Shanghai.
Screenwriter Chen Guangze felt very unhappy when he saw "Unexpectedly" being discussed on the Internet.
He also watched the first episode and quit after only halfway through it.
Chen Guangze is in his forties this year. It is hard to imagine that he is now writing scripts for urban idol dramas.
However, the scripts he wrote are not difficult to film because he has the ability to make money.
"Why is this kind of broken drama so popular! It must be because Xu Ye has too much traffic, a stinky traffic star!"
Chen Guangze cursed a few words in his mind.
He has been writing scripts in the entertainment industry for so many years and has many works, but none of them have become a hit.
After so many years, I feel very unhappy.
But Chen Guangze never felt that it was his problem. In his opinion, it was that these directors and actors did not perform the effect he wanted.
After seeing that Xu Ye had achieved fruitful results since he first entered the TV drama industry, Chen Guangze thought that it would be okay for him to have sex with me.
"Isn't it Wulin Gaiden? Isn't it just Kuangbiao? That's because I didn't expect this subject. I thought I could write it. My writing is better than Xu Ye!"
Sitting on the sofa at home, Chen Guangze drank several glasses of water.
In the end I couldn't hold it back.
"I never expected that this kind of rubbish drama could be popular, so why can't my drama be popular!"
Chen Guangze picked up the phone and started spraying.
He has more than 300,000 fans on his personally certified Weibo account.
Chen Guangze himself likes to comment on various works on the Internet and has a large number of followers.
Chen Guangze was always angry when typing on his mobile phone.
"I feel sad that I never expected this kind of drama to become popular! It is crude, vulgar, nutritious, and has no educational significance. I see that there are fewer and fewer excellent works nowadays. The responsibility is not on the screenwriters, but on the audience! The audience’s taste is too low!”
Chen Guangze directly fired the map cannon this time.
He is not afraid of any consequences.
Not long after it was posted on Weibo, a large number of his fans left messages in the comment area.
"Teacher Chen is right. I couldn't stand this drama after watching it for one minute. It's really vulgar."
"It's just that without any nutrition, it feels like Xu Ye is enjoying himself alone."
"I've finished watching the first episode. It was just funny from beginning to end. Everyone laughed and learned nothing."
After seeing these comments, Chen Guangze was very satisfied.
Sure enough, he was not the only one who thought so.
People's eyes are sharp!
Chen Guangze cursed in his heart: "Xu Ye, you stinky traffic star!"
There is no way, Chen Guangze's reputation in the industry is no longer good. He won't even accept top-notch projects, and those who work with him are all young actors.
If you're not in my crew, you're just a stinker!
As soon as Chen Guangze posted this Weibo post, it quickly set off a wave of discussions on the Internet.
This left the patients in Huohua Hospital speechless.
"This drama is classified as a comedy. It just needs to be fun to watch. It also has educational significance?"
"Brother, in those dramas you wrote, the various relationships between men and women didn't have any educational significance."
"I checked and found out that Chen Guangze once wrote a martial arts drama. The special effects in it were somewhat similar to the first episode."
"Is this a lung tube puncture?"
The patients did not argue with Chen Guangze's supporters.
What the patients focus on is a rejection of mental internal friction.
People are scolding you Xu Ye, what does it have to do with our illness?
You resolve your own matters.
Xu Ye also saw Chen Guangze's Weibo.
This kind of comment is the same as the attitude of some people on the earth after Never Expected became popular.
It's just that he didn't expect that in this world, there would be such a voice just after the first episode was aired.
The main reason is that it became popular too quickly. After all, he starred in the drama, which is much more influential than the Wanhe Tianyi team on Earth.
Another very important point is that it really poked Chen Guangze's lung tube.
As long as it is a comedy, it must have a certain irony at its core.
This is found in every story in "Unexpectedly".
The irony of this low-budget martial arts drama is self-evident.
"I just watched the first episode and I can't bear it anymore. Can you still bear it if it's played later?"
Xu Ye would certainly not be used to people like Chen Guangze.
What kind of character he has, no one in the entertainment industry knows.
This time, Xu Ye did not post on Weibo alone, but directly forwarded Chen Guangze's Weibo and added a sentence.
"Teacher Chen, it's normal that you think you can't understand. When you reach my age, you will understand."
After this Weibo was posted, the patients immediately became happy.
"Dean, you are a little too aggressive. No matter how powerful Chen Guangze is, he can't be more than 20 years younger."
"It seemed like he was cursing, but he didn't seem to be cursing."
"Teacher Chen, you must be a few years younger because of this."
One can imagine how uncomfortable Chen Guangze felt after seeing Xu Ye's comment.
As for Xu Ye, after posting this Weibo, he whispered a few words.
"Education Nima!"
At 8 p.m., the second episode of "Unexpectedly" will be updated.
The singles alliance formed by Xie Qiong, Xuan Xuan and others are still watching the show together.
As a result, after the second episode started, the pause in the few sentences below the title was too short.
So Xuanxuan picked up the remote control and stepped back for a few seconds. When these words appeared again, he clicked the pause button.
Everyone read it sentence by sentence.
Xuanxuan read out the last sentence: "Only those who are not in love are so bored that they stop reading the subtitles."
After reading this sentence, the five members of the Singles Alliance froze.
Everyone never expected that they could be ridiculed even though they were hiding so far away from Xu Ye.
"Xu Ye, die!"
In this episode, two stories are told. One is that Wang Dachui came to the company for an interview. During the interview, he found that his boss's pants were unzipped. He thought this was a test from the boss.
In the end, he never expected that Wang Dachui got the job and became a waiter at the door of the company's toilet, specializing in helping people zipper after using the toilet.
After reading this story, everyone’s mind was filled with one sentence.
"It won't take long for me to get promoted and get a raise, become general manager, CEO, marry Bai Fumei, and reach the pinnacle of my life. I'm a little excited just thinking about it."
In the second story, Wang Dachui transformed into Liu Chan, but Liu Bei threw him every time he encountered a problem.
When he heard that Lu Ma died in childbirth, Liu Bei shouted: "Because of you, Lu Ma died in childbirth, you loser!"
As soon as this line came out, the girls were laughing like crazy.
Especially in this scene, Xu Ye's expressions are so vivid.
After the episode ended, related discussions once again became a hot topic.
And the phrase "marry Bai Fumei and reach the pinnacle of life" also began to spread on the Internet.
After the second episode was broadcast, netizens basically figured out the pattern of this drama.
Obviously the lines and pictures are outrageous, and even the plot is outrageous, but most of the audience will laugh happily when watching it.
Many directors and screenwriters in the industry thought deeply after seeing this situation.
In their opinion, Xu Ye's comedy model is different from traditional comedy, and there is no such work in China yet.
But Xu Ye dared to do it. Not only did he do it, he also had such a big impact.
Only two episodes have been released. Wouldn't it be more terrifying if there were more episodes?
Over at Penguin Video, Vice President Lu Yuan even visited the crew of "Unexpectedly". He didn't know how to film or perform, but when he joined the crew, he could clearly feel that the atmosphere on the crew was very special. good.
He hadn't felt that kind of atmosphere for a long time.
He has high expectations for this drama.
He believed in Xu Ye's strength.
However, in the final purchase of the film, Penguin Video did not directly spend a sum of money to buy the web broadcast rights of "Unexpectedly".
Instead, the account sharing model is adopted. During the account sharing period, if a member user continuously watches a single episode for more than 30% of the total time, it will be recorded as a valid viewing.
Within a month, repeated viewing of content will only count as one valid viewing.
For a valid viewing, Penguin Video will give Xu Ye a certain amount of share.
However, because the length of a single episode is too short, the share will be less than that of longer TV series.
This kind of bill-sharing model is already very common on today's video platforms. In addition, Lu Yuan also paid Xu Ye a guaranteed fee.
This guaranteed fee is not much, and it can cover the entire filming cost of the show.
In Lu Yuan's opinion, after the short drama is completed, the final total number of views should be around one billion, and the share given to Xu Ye is within his acceptable range.
However, at noon, when Lu Yuan was about to take a nap, his subordinates rushed in without even knocking on the door.
"Mr. Lu, don't sleep. I have some good news for you!"
Upon hearing the good news, Lu Yuan decided to forgive this subordinate.
He said calmly: "Say."
The subordinate said excitedly: "Mr. Lu, I never expected that the total number of views exceeded 100 million."
Lu Yuan said slowly: "One hundred million, I understand."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
"How much did you say? One hundred million? One hundred million views in just two episodes?!"
