"That's awesome! Brother, if the director was Yang Hao, based on the box office performance of his movies in recent years, wouldn't Zhu Xian have grossed billions?"

"Even if it's not directed by Yang Hao, the box office of the movies he produced is basically over 1 billion."

"Brother, you are going to be awesome!"

"Don't forget me when you become rich and powerful, Brother Ding."

……

For a while, all kinds of teasing and boasting were heard in the QQ group.

Although most of the words were respectful, who wouldn't feel jealous inside?
Why can your work be adapted but mine can't?

At this moment, all the great gods and platinums envied Xiao Ding's good luck.

Without even mentioning how many average subscriptions "Zhu Xian" has on Qidian, the physical books alone have sold several million copies, if we also include the pirated users of Biquge.

It is no exaggeration to say that "Zhu Xian" has hundreds of millions of fans.

When the news that "Zhu Xian" was about to be adapted reached the ears of fans, it instantly caused an uproar.

"Fuck, how many years has it been? I can't believe that I can wait until Zhu Xian is adapted into a TV series in my lifetime?"

"I thought I had to wait until my grandson came home to offer sacrifices and not forget to tell my father."

"Who do you think will play the role better, Lu Xueqi or Bi Yao?"

"When I first read the novel, I thought of Liu Yifei as Lu Xueqi. I didn't recognize anyone else for this role except Liu Yifei."

"The insider revealed that Liu Yifei will play Lu Xueqi, and Da Mimi will play Bi Yao."

……

For a while, fans posted on various forums such as Tieba, Tianya, and Hupu to discuss various news about "Zhu Xian".

In particular, the discussion on who will play Lu Xueqi and Bi Yao was the most heated.

The popularity of "Zhu Xian" is so terrifying that it has been dominating the Weibo hot search list for nearly a week.

On the Hupu forum, someone even launched a vote for the two characters Lu Xueqi and Bi Yao.

Liu Yifei, Da Mimi, Zhao Liying, Yang Zi, Liu Shishi, Tangtang, Yaya, Da Meiyu, etc., all the stars who are still active in the entertainment industry are candidates.

In the end, Liu Yifei topped the list of Lu Xueqi's characters with a cliff-like figure of more than 90,000 votes.

And Da Mimi was chosen as the best candidate for Biyao with more than 70,000 votes.
-
As soon as Hupu’s three-day voting period ended, Yang Hao’s Weibo exploded.

A bunch of fans of Liu Yifei and Da Mimi almost flooded the comment section of Yang Hao’s Weibo.

They all left messages in the comment section, and tens of thousands of people signed a petition in blood, demanding that Liu Yifei play Lu Xueqi and Da Mimi play Bi Yao.

With such overwhelming popularity, there are of course many people who want to take advantage of it.

Many big film critics have made comments.

"It is definitely impossible for Zhu Xian to invite both Liu Yifei and Yang Mi to star in the show at the same time. Don't you think about it? If they were to invite both of them at the same time, their salaries alone would be hundreds of millions. If we add the salaries of the male lead and other actors, doesn't that mean that the show would cost nearly 2 million just on the salaries of the stars? How can such a huge investment be recovered?"

"There are two top stars starring in a TV series at the same time. Who is the first? Who is the second? Who has more scenes? Whose role is more outstanding? They all need to be balanced, which is a very troublesome thing."

"It is an unwritten rule in the domestic entertainment industry that kings do not meet each other."

……

I have to say that these big film critics are quite capable and what they say is very logical and does make sense at first glance.

The fans, who were originally very enthusiastic, were instantly discouraged by this cold shower.
-
Yang Hao was lying on the sofa with his mobile phone in hand, checking the voting results for Lu Xueqi and Bi Yao on the Hupu forum.

"Yang Hao, you're not really going to invite Yang Mi to star in "Zhu Xian" with you, are you?"

Liu Yifei was sitting next to Yang Hao. She saw it clearly just now. Yang Hao voted for Liu Yifei to play Lu Xueqi and Da Mimi to play Biyao.

If other producers or directors were to face financial pressure, or their status could not overshadow the two 85 flowers, they would not be able to invite Liu Yifei and Da Mimi to perform at the same time.

But Yang Hao didn't have this pressure at all, he was a man with plenty of money. More importantly, he could easily suppress both her and Da Mimi.

"Why not?" Yang Hao asked back in response to Liu Yifei's question.

The casting of the previous life's "Zhu Xian" is really hard to describe.

Yang Zi plays Lu Xueqi and Zhao Liying plays Biyao.

Yang Hao has no words to complain about the casting; the looks of these two are simply not enough to support the roles of Lu Xueqi and Bi Yao.

In Yang Hao's mind, Lu Xueqi is a fairy, so Liu Yifei should play her. Bi Yao is a little witch, with a curvy figure, and Da Mimi fits the bill perfectly.

When Liu Yifei learned from Yang Hao that she was really going to star in "Zhu Xian" with Yang Mi, her face suddenly became serious.

This is no small matter and she must take it seriously.

Competing on the same stage with Da Mimi, whoever is ugly will definitely be embarrassed, and whoever has poor acting skills will definitely be embarrassed.

If you can't beat your opponent in this drama, your reputation will be ruined.

"Yang Hao, do you have the novel "Zhu Xian" at home? I want to study the character of Lu Xueqi carefully."

"Yes, yes, it's in the drawer of my desk. I bought a set specially for it." Yang Hao found it very funny when he saw Liu Yifei's serious face.

"Okay, then I'll go into the bedroom and study the novel." As Liu Yifei spoke, she sat up and walked towards the bedroom.

Yang Hao didn't expect Liu Yifei to be so serious. It seems that having her co-star with Da Mimi really aroused her fighting spirit.

The popularity of "Zhu Xian" continued until the broadcast of "The Journey of Flower" that day, which ended the popularity.

The senior management of Mango TV did not seem to be optimistic about this drama, and the broadcast time allocated for "The Journey of Flower" was very ordinary.

Not only does it adopt a rare weekly broadcast format, but the broadcast time is also Tuesday and Wednesday at 10 pm, with two episodes per night.

Although the senior leaders of Mango TV are not very optimistic about "The Journey of Flower", Yao Jia, who has worked with Yang Hao many times, is confident about the show.

Two days after "The Journey of Flower" was broadcast, it was time to get off work, but Yao Jia did not go home immediately. She still sat in the office and waited quietly.

"Tattahtatt..." A series of hurried footsteps came from far away and soon arrived at the door of Yao Jia's office.

"Knock knock knock..." After a few knocks on the door, Yao Jia gave her permission and her assistant Xiao Zhang pushed the door open.

"Xiao Zhang, have the ratings for "The Journey of Flower" come out?" Yao Jia was also very nervous. She was the one who insisted on purchasing this drama, and she would be primarily responsible if the ratings were not good.

"Director Yao, the audience rating has reached 1.28%, which is a very good number." As he spoke, assistant Xiao Zhang handed the data analysis report to Yao Jia.

Holding the data analysis report handed over by Xiao Zhang, Yao Jia became more and more satisfied the more he read it.

The premiere data of 1.28% would only be considered okay if it were broadcast during prime time on weekends, but not excellent.

But now it is broadcast on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and at 2 o'clock in the evening. At this time, the first broadcast can have a 3% share, which is already a very remarkable number.

The next day, Yao Jia received feedback on the ratings for Wednesday. Seeing that the ratings were 3%, which had increased significantly, she was really happy.

Although there are only two days of ratings data, based on his professional experience, Yao Jia knows that "The Journey of Flower" is likely to be a big hit.

The popularity of "The Journey of Flower" is still growing, and the number of views on the entire network is terrifying.

With only four episodes, "The Journey of Flower" has accumulated more than 500 million views on video websites such as iQiyi, Tencent Video, Sohu Video, Youku, and Tudou.

As more and more people have watched "The Journey of Flower", many people have left messages on the show's Weibo, video playback platforms, and Mango TV's official website.

"My dear sister Xiaogu, why are there only four episodes? It's not enough, absolutely not enough."

"Ten thousand people signed a petition in blood. Mango TV changed the broadcast schedule of "The Journey of Flower" to daily, four episodes per week. Who are you trying to fool?"

"The same goes for the video playback platform. Please release the rest of the video quickly. Are you afraid that I can't afford to become a member?"

……

"Boss, "The Journey of Flower" is very popular right now. Do you want to take advantage of this popularity to promote the mobile game?" Seeing that the popularity of "The Journey of Flower" was getting higher and higher day by day, Yu Li was very excited and called Yang Hao directly to ask.

"Don't be impatient, wait a little longer, let the bullet fly for a while, the popularity of "The Journey of Flower" will be even higher next week."

Where are we going now? Yang Hao, who had previous life experience, knew how phenomenal the TV series "The Journey of Flower" was.

The number of views of this TV series on the entire network is as high as 200 billion, but now it is only over million, which is still far from enough.

As Yang Hao expected, after a week of word-of-mouth fermentation, the ratings of "The Journey of Flower" increased significantly in the second week.

It soared directly from the previous 1.49% to 1.88%, an increase of almost 0.5 percentage points, an extremely terrifying increase rate.

It exploded! It really exploded!

With only 8 episodes, the total number of views on the entire network has reached 13 billion. It’s really explosive!
This time, "The Journey of Flower" is being broadcast on all video websites. Although the price of this method is not as high as that of exclusive broadcast, its influence on the entire network is much greater than that of exclusive broadcast.

Zhao Liying's previous dramas, "Legend of Lu Zhen" and "My Sweetheart", although they had good ratings, can only be considered hit dramas.

"The Journey of Flower" can be considered a phenomenal TV series.

Now Zhao Liying has completely taken off.

For a time, various endorsements and commercial performances came to this round-faced girl.

In the past, when people talked about the 85 flowers, they would always mention the Tang Dynasty poetess. However, with the broadcast of "The Journey of Flower", Zhao Liying has a tendency to be on par with the other four.

"Boss, I~I...I'm really famous now, so famous." Zhao Liying called Yang Hao. Her voice was choked and her speech was intermittent. It could be heard that she was very excited at the moment.

"Action well and hone your acting skills. I will support you behind you." Hearing Zhao Liying's voice, Yang Hao couldn't help but think of her cute little round face, and for a moment he missed her very much.

"Well, boss, I will act well." Zhao Liying originally wanted to call Yang Hao to express her gratitude and thank him for his support over the years, but when the words came to her lips, she didn't know why she couldn't open her mouth.

At this moment, she was really glad that she met Yang Hao on the streets of Hengdian a few years ago.

To be honest, the conditions of Yang Hao's studio at that time were not comparable to Shanghai Run.

But for some reason, she was persuaded by Yang Hao and joined his studio somehow.

It is precisely because of this step that I have become so popular today.

Just when people in the circle were still sighing, Haori Film and Television Culture Media produced another hit drama.

The mobile game of "The Journey of Flower" has started its promotion.

"On May 28, the mobile game "The Journey of Flower" officially launched its public beta test"

"The genuine mobile game endorsed by Zhao Liying will be waiting for you soon"

"Do you want to travel the world of immortal heroes with Xiaogu?"

"On the day of the public beta test on May 28, you will have a chance to participate in a lucky draw."

……

The popularity of "The Journey of Flower" was already very high, and the mobile game of the same name took advantage of this popularity and became known to almost the entire Internet as soon as it was promoted.

As the ratings of "The Journey of Flower" and the number of views on the entire network continued to rise in the third week, the popularity of the mobile game of the same name was also rising sharply.

On May 28th, Yang Hao came to Tianxiang Interactive Entertainment, a mobile game production company acquired by Yang Hao.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the first area of ​​​​the mobile game "The Journey of Flower" was officially opened.

"Boss Yang, Boss Yang, there are too many people registering and logging in. Area 1 is full instantly, and there are more than 6,000 people waiting in line behind us."

Less than 2 minutes after the zone was opened, a technician came to Yang Hao and reported a piece of bad news which was also good news.

"You're full, why are you still standing there? Quickly start the emergency filing and open a new area!"

"Oh! Okay, Mr. Yang." The technician immediately lowered his head and hurried away.

As time goes by, the recharge amount of the mobile game "The Journey of Flower" is also rising.

One hundred thousand, two hundred thousand, three hundred thousand...

I have to say that there are really a lot of rich players these days.

On the day of the opening of the server alone, the recharge turnover of the mobile game "The Journey of Flower" was as high as more than 9 million.

This is just the first day. As the player level increases, more points will need to be spent on in-game items. It can be predicted that the next few weeks will be the peak period for recharges.
-
"Have you heard? The recharge turnover of the mobile game "The Journey of Flower" in the first week reached more than 50 million"

There is no wall that is impenetrable. The recharge flow of the "The Journey of Flower" mobile game was soon known to everyone in the circle.

A weekly turnover of 50 million?

Wouldn’t that be two or three hundred million per month?
Even if the lifespan of a mobile game is short, even if it can only last for half a year, it will still have a turnover of nearly 1 billion.

Suddenly, film and television companies such as Huayi, Xinli, Huanrui, and a number of game companies went crazy for it.

The interactive mode of fairy tale drama + mobile game operated by Yang Hao this time has set an example for the entertainment industry.

Let them know that TV dramas can be played like this.

Now everyone realizes that fantasy dramas are an untapped gold mine.

Everyone is ready to take advantage of this opportunity to make a profit.

In just a few days, the number of fantasy dramas registered with the Radio, Film and Television Bureau increased sharply, reaching more than twenty.

Mr. Liu from Penguin Video, after seeing the money-making ability of the mobile game "The Journey of Flower", became more interested in the project "Zhu Xian".

The IP of "The Journey of Flower" is not as good as "The Legend of Chusen". Mr. Liu dare not imagine what kind of effect will be produced if the TV series, movies and mobile games of "The Legend of Chusen" are linked together.

As long as this project is completed, I should get a promotion and a raise, right? (End of this chapter)
