Chapter 234: Fighting in a ring?
Ye Jingzhi naturally didn't know this.

But she was not the only one who couldn't sleep well tonight.

In addition to investors such as Lai Shuiqing, Zhong Zhen, and Wei Yongan, there is also Cai Chaolin.

That’s right, he is the director in charge of TV drama negotiations at Lizhi TV!
And "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" was decided by him personally.

And he bought it from Tianjin TV at double the price.

If the news that Du Sheng won the K1 GP and brought glory to the country hadn’t spread like wildfire in China,

In addition, Jia Jingwen became famous for "The Emperor of Han Dynasty", which made the value of this drama soar instantly, and Cai Chaolin really didn't pay attention to it.

Tianjin TV also saw the huge potential of the drama and began to consider selling it at a high price.

This is really a case of one willing to fight and the other willing to be beaten!
Cai Chaolin even made a special trip to see the finished film.

But it's all worth it.

Especially after watching the amazing performances of Du Sheng and Jia Jingwen, as well as the ups and downs of their emotional lines and interactions with the five women, it was so unforgettable.

Even Cai Chaolin, who looked at him with scrutiny, felt the same way.

Not to mention the general audience.

Of course, there are many senior executives in the television industry who are interested in this drama.

But faced with the high resale price of Jinmen TV, many people are discouraged.

It was under such circumstances that Cai Chaolin, against all odds and even disregarding some questioning voices within the station, personally asked his superiors for permission, raised funds, and resolutely purchased the first broadcast rights for the drama.

This is undoubtedly a bold gamble!

If he bets right, he will prove his unique vision.

If he bets on the wrong thing, his position in the station may be in jeopardy.

But after the purchase, Cai Chaolin felt a little scared.

After all, this is the first time that Du Sheng has taken on a leading role, as he had only played supporting roles before.

As for the many nostalgic audiences of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", although Jia Jingwen, Gao Yuanyuan and others gave good performances, whether they can gain their recognition is another matter.

Especially after the show was broadcast tonight, Cai Chaolin tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

The friend who was dragged out by him for a drink joked:
"If you're so nervous about the ratings, why don't you call back and ask?"

Cai Chaolin did not hide it and sighed:
"I'm afraid of losing face."

This is the truth, because once the ratings flop, countless people will take advantage of the situation.

In this uneasy state of mind, the ringing of the cell phone interrupted his melancholy.

The call was from the deputy, and his tone revealed excitement:
"Congratulations, Director!
The ratings for the first episode directly exceeded 4, and the ratings for the second episode soared like a rocket, exceeding 4.7 by the end!
Such high opening ratings are extremely rare, which means that the new remake and the performances of the leading actors are highly anticipated.

As long as you keep going, breaking 6 will be as easy as drinking water, and breaking 7 will be easy..."

The deputy's voice was hoarse due to excitement, but to Cai Chaolin it sounded like the sound of nature.

The confusion in his heart disappeared in an instant.

Instead, I felt immense excitement and pride!
I actually bet on the right thing!

Moreover, judging from the ratings trend, the CP of Du Sheng and Guo Feili has indeed won the audience's love.

Cai Chaolin couldn't help but burst into laughter:

"Okay, great!"

At this moment, he can finally be proud of himself.

……

This July summer vacation is considered a craze for popular new dramas!
Following "Triumph in the Skies" and "The Comprador's House", "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" became the third TV series with a first-run rating of over 4%.

And the second episode directly soared to 4.8%.

Competition on television screens has always been fierce, and the three excellent works have achieved impressive results one after another, undoubtedly creating huge waves in the industry.

The next day, once the news about the hit of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber was disclosed, the entire Internet was instantly in an uproar.

A-Fantasy Company even spent a lot of money to buy the top search on WB.

As a result, the attention that was originally focused on "The Comprador's House" began to disperse.

"The Comprador is weak in follow-up and was overtaken by The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber?"

People in the industry expressed amazement.

Before they were aired, The Heaven Sword and The Broker were seen as a heavyweight showdown in the summer season.

When the ratings of "The Comprador's House" exceeded 4 on its first night and broke 4.6 on the second night, many people thought that the contest had lost its suspense.

However, the premiere of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" last night also captured the hearts of the audience with its powerful attitude.

In some ways, it even surpasses "The Comprador's House".

Because "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" is not as good as the former in terms of publicity or popularity, and the early broadcast of "The Comprador" will inevitably seize a certain advantage.

Despite all the disadvantages, it still achieved such high ratings.

I have to say, this already has the potential to become a huge hit.

However, "The Comprador" is shrouded in the shadow of an uncertain future.

As a key figure in The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, Du Sheng's phone has been ringing non-stop since the moment the show's ratings became a hot topic.

Countless friends, the "Cats" crew and friends in the circle sent their congratulations.

Among them are Ju Jueliang, Sun Yaowei, Zheng Ziyan, He Jiong and others.

Du Sheng replied with a smile, and he was indeed in a good mood.

Chen Kun, the protagonist of the other party, became the focus of reporters.

On his way to the announcement, he was mobbed by reporters, asking all sorts of questions about the possible decline in ratings for “The Comprador.”

Chen Kun was not in the mood to care today and got into the car without saying a word.

"You see, there's a high probability that you'll be used as a stepping stone this time." The agent sighed, his expression complicated.

Chen Kun nodded silently.

"This new kid really has great potential."

As a popular young actor, he had never felt so bad before.

It is the historical law of 'the old is replaced by the new' that most people cannot avoid.

Judging from the rising trend of the other party, I am afraid that the title of the new "Four Little Freshmen" will have to undergo a major change.

What's even more cruel is that the ratings of "The Comprador" hovered around 5 and it didn't break that level, which was like a frost in June.

The agent pondered:

“The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber has just premiered, and its popularity and popularity have not yet reached their peak, but Du Sheng has already become so popular.

If you take into account his title of action star and his entry into the top four of K1 GP, his fame will probably be unmatched.

You are outclassed by him, so you have no reason to complain."

Chen Kun knew this was a consolation, so he shook his head and said:
"Don't worry, I won't fall so easily."

"The temporary gains and losses don't mean anything, there is still a long way to go in the future."

The agent encouraged:

"Your next drama has already been revealed, and that's a real big production, and it's still unknown who will win.

And to put it bluntly, comparison leads to progress, and it can also better unite fans.”

His words of encouragement also apply to Du Sheng.

When he arrived at the set the next day, he keenly felt the subtle changes in the atmosphere around him.

The staff looked at him with eyes that contained not only familiarity and kindness, but also a hint of awe and expectation.

"Brother Sheng, you are here!"

"Brother Sheng, there are only a few days left to finish filming. Thank you for your hard work!"

The calls rang in his ears, and Du Sheng responded with a smile.

But he didn't have time to put on makeup because Wang Jinhua came over.

Wang Yaoyang had been waiting at the door for a long time, very excited:
"Brother Sheng, the premiere was a huge success. Your performance was very eye-catching."

Du Sheng has secured his first leading role, which means that his status as an assistant has also risen.

When one is prosperous, both are prosperous; when one is lost, both are harmed!
Du Sheng smiled slightly and said:
"This is not an individual achievement. Without the joint efforts of everyone, we wouldn't be where we are today."

Wang Yaoyang said:
"These were sent by fans, and I guess there will be more to come."

As he spoke, he handed over a few exquisite gift boxes.

Du Sheng opened the gift box and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

Inside were a variety of carefully selected small gifts and cards with greetings written on them.

At this time, Wang Jinhua walked into the dressing room.

She knew that Du Sheng was very busy, so to make a long story short, she was planning to set up a fan club for Du Sheng.

Also asked if Miracle Studio had anyone chosen or recommended it before.

It seems that she has taken on the role of general manager of Star Media and helped Ye Jingzhi share some of the pressure.

As for fan clubs, although they are a new product from Japan, almost all first-line stars now have them.

With Du Sheng's current fame, he certainly cannot be spared.

Wang Yaoyang thought for a moment and said:

"I think there are several very active and responsible fans in Sheng Ge's fan club. I can contact them to see if they are willing to join the management of the fan club."

Du Sheng thought about it and gave some advice:
“It’s okay to form a fan club, but I don’t want fans to spend too much on me.

And we plan to build it into a positive, active and healthy group that spreads positive energy.”

In his previous life, there were a lot of things about the fan club, such as money-making, fan culture, and troubles. He didn't want a good fan organization to become a profit chain.

Wang Jinhua nodded in agreement:
"We think so too. We will do our best to ensure the healthy development of the fan club and actively communicate with fans to avoid unnecessary expenses."

After some discussion, the fan club was finalized.

"Brother Sheng, Manager Ye said that after the premiere, a large number of people came to us for cooperation, and one crew offered the highest salary of 2.9..."

Wang Yaoyang remembered what Ye Jingzhi had mentioned about interviews and endorsements early in the morning, so he mentioned a few words about it.

But before he could finish, he was interrupted by Wang Jinhua:

"Du Sheng is very popular now, how can the interview and endorsement standards be casual?

No matter what happens, it must be done according to the first-line high standards, otherwise there is no need to pay attention to it for the time being."

Although the pay of 2.9 yuan is comparable to that of the top four young actors in the previous year, this is only their limit, not Du Sheng's limit.

I have to say, she is also swollen now!
Especially after leaving Huayi and joining Star Media, he is full of motivation.

Wang Yaoyang nodded in approval:
“That’s right, Brother Sheng’s popularity will only increase.

At present, "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" has only broadcast the CP of Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu, and the results are obvious to all.

When the love story between Zhang Wuji, Zhao Min, and Zhou Zhiruo comes out, the ratings will probably explode, and there will be no worries about interviews and endorsements. "

Du Sheng seemed quite calm and smiled slightly:
"Let it be. It will only take a few days."

Wang Jinhua is also looking forward to this.

As long as "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" can break 7, Star Media will basically be the number one and its future development will be smoother.

Who knows, even new companies can steadily move up to the next level!
