Chapter 231 Playing with fire [One more chapter! ]

Thinking back carefully, I don’t think I’ve seen it in my previous life either.

However, based on Rong Xinda’s current overwhelming publicity and promotion, it should not be underestimated.

Not only does it frequently appear on the hot searches of major media outlets, but spray-painted advertisements can also be often seen on buses.

"This is the foundation and advantage of a large company."

Wang Jinhua sighed.

The other party's simple and crude promotional method caused a lot of discussion in the industry, and even she felt a little envious.

“It’s okay to use this method once in a while.”

Zhong Zhen saw the problem at a glance and said with a smile:

"If you use too much, not only will the effect be greatly reduced, but it will also backfire on the leading actor."

Wang Jinhua nodded in agreement.

Any marketing method is best used for the first time. As the number of times it is used increases, the effect will gradually weaken.

Moreover, it is impossible for Rong Xinda to invest endlessly.

This is essentially a form of momentum building.

However, since both "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" and "The Comprador's House" star popular young actors and actresses, and there is a high probability that they will be broadcast on the same schedule, the media inevitably began to compare the two dramas.

Even predict which one will be more popular.

Similar discussions are also emerging on the Internet.

Even if they were put among the ten most popular dramas released during the summer, "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" and "The Comprador's House" would rank in the top three in terms of discussion.

Netizens conducted an in-depth comparison of the two dramas in terms of investment, cast, acting skills, highlights, etc.

In terms of investment and highlights, "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" is not inferior to "The Comprador", and is even better.

As for the lineup and acting skills, the former is indeed inferior to the latter.

The popularity and influence of Chen Kun and Zhou Xun, plus the fact that this is Li Xiaohong's third part, will confuse anyone who faces them.

But overall, it's hard to tell which one is better between the two dramas.

This is also the focus of heated discussion among the media and netizens.

After finally finishing the pre-promotion and returning to the crew to film for two days, Du Sheng received another call from Jia Jingwen.

"These media outlets are really good at finding topics. They even brought up the ridiculous story that I joined Miracle Studio because you had a mistress in your house."

Although Jia Jingwen was complaining, she seemed to be in a good mood and smiled:
"You keep comparing me to Zhou Xun. It makes me feel stressed. What about you?"

Du Sheng didn't care at all, and even thought the hype wasn't enough because the reputation value didn't increase significantly:
"It's OK, but most of them are scammers, and they even bring Yuanyuan up to make trouble..."

When this was mentioned, Jia Jingwen became a little angry:
"That's right, these media are actually speculating whether you and I are having a secret relationship!
This is obviously the fact, and it has been going on for a long time.

They are still making groundless accusations and their reports are not fair at all!"

"..."

Du Sheng didn't know how to complain.

To sum up, this girl deserves a beating.

Jia Jingwen said excitedly:
"The day after tomorrow we will go to Mango TV to promote it together. I am looking forward to it."

"Didn't you appear on Happy Camp to promote your previous drama, The Emperor of Han Dynasty? What's there to look forward to?"

Du Sheng is a bit tired of it, mainly because this variety show has only the same routine.

But in this era, there are only so many places for domestic variety shows to run, and many second- and third-tier artists may not be able to appear on "Happy Camp" even if they try their best.

"How can it be the same?"

Jia Jingwen was in high spirits and said with a smile:

"You haven't taught me martial arts for a whole month. I recently bought two sets of police uniforms and black stockings. Tell me if you want to teach me grappling techniques."

Du Sheng: “…”

It turns out that this girl's anticipation for "Happy Camp" was fake, but she was actually interested in his outstanding abilities.

However, the thought of the other person's heroic appearance in police uniform and black stockings did arouse his interest.

After ending the call, just as I was about to take a break, the phone rang again.

This time the call came from A-Huan Company, and Wei Yongan told them good news:

"The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" has been officially scheduled to be broadcast during the prime time on the weekend of July 7.

The broadcast platform was changed from the original Tianjin TV station to Lizhi TV station.

Du Sheng had known about this transaction for a long time, and the latter paid twice the price to purchase the first broadcast rights from the former.

However, these had little to do with Miracle Studio, so he did not interfere too much.

After hearing the news, Zhong Zhen also sent a message and said with emotion:
“I didn’t expect the media’s guess would come true. It’s a coincidence.

The broadcast time of "The Comprador's House" is two days earlier than ours, so it may have some advantages. The first broadcast platform is also Sichuan and Chongqing Satellite TV, which has a large population. It is really lively this time."

Du Sheng nodded, the arena was indeed lively.

In the current competitive landscape of satellite TV stations, Mango TV is undoubtedly the leader. Modou TV, Blueberry TV, Sichuan and Chongqing TV and others have their own wins, while Litchi TV is in the upper-middle position.

This is also determined by market laws, and no one can easily change it at present.

For TV stations, the arrangement and broadcasting of programs require careful planning.

The ratings of the dramas currently airing on Lizhi TV are pretty good, so it is impossible for them to be cancelled halfway for "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".

Therefore, "The Comprador's House" was broadcast first, seizing the initiative.

However, considering that the two works have very different themes and styles, and they target different audiences, the competition is not as high as the outside world imagines.

Moreover, one is broadcast on Friday and the other on Sunday, so it is hard to say which one is better.

In the following days, the media's comparison between the two works gradually cooled down, and people began to pay more attention to the upcoming "The Comprador's House".

On July 7, "The Comprador's House" hit the TV screen as scheduled.

Du Sheng accompanied Jia Jingwen to complete the promotion of "Everyday Brothers" and watched the premiere together.

He found that the show was not much different from his expectations.

Chen Kun and Zhou Xun are old partners, and both seem to have made new breakthroughs in their acting skills, truly living up to Rong Xinda's reputation as the top brother and sister.

But I don't know if it's because the adaptation is too strong, and there is a generation gap in period dramas, so Du Sheng didn't feel much substitution. Most importantly, Jia Jingwen, who didn't even look at him, kept sitting in his arms and harassing him.

"Ah Sheng, you almost killed me just now."

There was still some afterglow on Jia Jingwen's face. She lay in the man's arms with seductive eyes and a soft tone.

"I didn't move just now, hurry up and get up, don't press on me!"

Du Sheng felt like he couldn't sit still because the girl was very restless and kept twisting and turning on his legs.

too big.

Although it was his credit to raise the child, his obstructed vision affected his ability to watch TV.

Besides, the filming of "The Mouse Loves the Cat" has not been completed yet, and there will be two hungry mouths waiting for him to feed tomorrow, so the ammunition must be distributed reasonably.

Jia Jingwen tried to sit up, half-knelt on the sofa, and hugged him tightly from behind, trying to keep him:

"We've finally been together for two days, why don't you leave tonight, okay, Ah Sheng!"

You don't need to look to know that this person is obviously addicted to practicing martial arts and enjoys doing it.

"The tickets have been booked, what do you think?"

Du Sheng looked at Jia Jingwen, whose cheongsam was torn in many places and whose skin was faintly visible, and speechlessly pried her soft and smooth hands apart.

Even if Jia Jingwen didn't read entertainment gossip, she knew that there must be women around Du Sheng.

For the sake of future sexual happiness and tying up this thick thigh, she couldn't quit, so she naturally had to work hard for it, so she smiled charmingly:
"Then remember to come visit the set after you finish filming. I've prepared a few pairs of black garter stockings, including an inflatable doll style. I guarantee you'll like them."

How could Du Sheng be such a low-brow person? He pulled up his pants and said confidently:

"How old are you this year? 36C, right? If you're obsessed with men at this age, how are you going to improve your acting skills in the future?

Remember to wear the backless evening gown we bought last time and correct your attitude. You really have no ambition at all."

Jia Jingwen: “…”

This statement is full of flaws, I don't know where to start.

And when I first entered the door, the other party was not like this:

"But that skirt has been taken by you..."

Du Sheng acted like a gentleman, interrupted her and scolded:

"My hands were sore after the game that day, so I tore my skirt just to see if I could use more force. You don't think I did it on purpose, do you?"

Jia Jingwen blinked and reacted instantly.

It turned out that you weren't the one who was so impatient that night and asked me to cooperate in every way?

"Hehe! Just like tonight, everything is fully automatic, right?"

She was too lazy to complain, so she picked up the lace scattered on the ground and put it on in a bad mood.

Du Sheng sighed:

"Minmin, I'm disappointed with your knowledge. I hope you can read more books in the future so that we can resonate with each other next time we film."

He is a person who pursues high tastes.

Jia Jingwen was sure that this bastard was fooling her, and rolled her eyes and said:

"So what resonance do you want?"

“This kind of question cannot be thought out in a short time.

Next time, please prepare a pair of fishnet stockings. It will help me sort out my thoughts and also help you improve your martial arts and acting skills."

After Du Sheng finished speaking, he picked up his belt and went into the bathroom.

He is a professional at removing traces.

Jia Jingwen rolled her eyes at his back.

.........

The next day went just as expected.

"The Comprador's House" achieved impressive ratings upon its first broadcast, with the ratings easily exceeding 4.

Rong Xinda further increased its publicity and promotional resources, and reports in newspapers and media were overwhelming.

"The drama in which Rong Xinda and his sister team up is a huge success!"

"Chen Kun looks so handsome, his new drama "The Comprador's House" is a big hit on the screen!"

"The summer season is coming, the future is promising!"

The premiere of "The Comprador House" broke 4, which undoubtedly brought considerable pressure to other summer dramas.

Especially the upcoming "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".

The competition between the two works has begun.

But after Du Sheng read the reviews about the drama on the Internet, he just smiled and put it aside.

There are mixed reviews and different opinions.

For example, when evaluating Chen Kun:

There was only one scene and one line in the first episode, it's a piece of crap!! It's a dog meat under the guise of sheep meat!

Comments on Zhou Xun: His performance is very much like a ghost-like character. Although it has a strong sense of the times, it is inevitably disappointing.

Most of the people who praised it came from fans of Chen Kun and Zhou Xun.

As for criticism, most of them are from ordinary netizens.

However, Chen Kun does not seem to be afraid of such rumors.

Ever since he became famous, this kind of drag and competition has been an integral part of every drama he starred in, and he has almost gotten used to it.

After shooting a set of cover photos, Chen Kun sat in the lounge and drank water leisurely.

His agent was reading online reports with a heavy expression on his face.

Seeing Chen Kun so calm, he couldn't help but feel annoyed:

"Look at these reports. I advised you not to take this drama, but now it's your fault, right?"
