Chapter 235 A masterpiece with good reputation
This is Zhou Yu's first time to come to CCTV. It has to be said that as the largest TV station in the country and an official TV station among the officials, the atmosphere and environment here are completely different from local stations. It seems more serious and even has strict rules and requirements.
Because the leadership here is indeed the leader of the position, and the level is not low. Even many people can often see it in the news.
"Haha, Xiao Zhou is here, sit down quickly."
Director Li also looked happy when he saw Zhou Yu. He likes this talented young man very much, and recently the children at home have become obsessed with Zhou Yu and often play Zhou Yu's songs. Listening to this, even Director Li likes some of Zhou Yu's songs.
After listening and understanding it, he really felt that Zhou Yu was born for music. This talent is truly astonishing. It is hard to imagine that so many beautiful songs could be written by a young man like Zhou Yu who just debuted and just graduated from college. There are many songs here that require certain social experience and experience to write so deeply into the hearts of the people. But Zhou Yu can write them at this age, which shows that his ability to empathize is very strong, even his own. The experience is also very rich.
Working here at CCTV, Director Li has met many capable people over the years. But there are very few people who can achieve such achievements like Zhou Yu at such an age. The point is, it doesn’t matter if Zhou Yu is so talented in music, he is also so talented when he crosses over into a screenwriter and writes scripts.
Not to mention the original Chinese comic he created himself, which just premiered last week and is already very popular. The new program "Chinese Poetry Conference" in Taiwan was created by him. When he saw this program, he was amazed. This kind of program that combines traditional culture and competitive competitions is full of entertainment and educational significance. This is exactly the type of program their station needs.
"Director Li."
Zhou Yu also smiled and said hello to Director Li. In the reception room, he talked with Director Li about helping with publicity.
They asked Zhou Yu to shoot a promotional video for the show, hoping to use Zhou Yu's popularity to help make the show more popular. Although this show has been attracting a lot of attention, it still needs to be promoted. It will be broadcast next week, and various promotional resources will still be used this week.
"Then I'll have to work hard for you these two days, Xiao Zhou. I know you're busy, so I'll have your film shot tomorrow."
"It's okay. I'll have nothing to do after that."
Director Li patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder: "Since it's okay, you're done here, so you can go back and have a good rest. It's the end of the year, and you will definitely be very busy later on."
Just as he stood up, Director Li remembered something again: "By the way, Xiao Zhou, you should be more prepared for the New Year's Eve party and Spring Festival Gala this year. The leaders in the station are very optimistic about you."
At present, Zhou Yu has a good relationship with CCTV. Many leaders in the CCTV appreciate Zhou Yu, a talented young man. Even many leaders, like Director Li, like to listen to some Zhou Yu's songs. So this time, Zhou Yu was invited to both the Spring Festival Gala and the New Year's Eve party, and everyone on the stage had high expectations for him.
Director Li whispered to Zhou Yu: "My daughter is looking forward to the new song, and so are we."
Zhou Yu smiled and knew that Director Li had a daughter who was in high school. Unexpectedly, she was still a fan of him.
"Okay, I'll be ready."
After Zhou Yu chatted with Director Li, he came out and met Director Jiang Dan, who had finished recording this episode.
"Have you finished talking?"
When Jiang Dan came out of the recording scene, she had already put on a black down jacket, the women's suit was covered, her long hair was tied up, revealing her fair and slender neck, and she wore pearl earrings on her ears, making her look more dignified and luxurious.
"Well, we just finished chatting. Sister Dan, are you done recording over there?"
"It's over, that's just in time. I'll make a reservation at a restaurant and take you to eat and try the mutton from Beijing."
Zhou Yu and the others were not polite and just followed Director Jiang Dan.
This time we met, it was just to catch up on old times and talk about the show.
"It will be broadcast next Saturday. To be honest, I have done so many programs. This is the first program to cooperate with CCTV. I am quite nervous."
While eating the mutton, Jiang Dan had already taken off his down jacket, revealing a slim-fitting women's suit underneath. Ning Wanqiu sat on Jiang Dan's left side, also wearing only a sweater. The two were about the same age, and they became familiar with each other as they chatted.
Zhou Yu sat on the right side of Jiang Dan and Yuanyuan sat opposite. He glanced at these two beautiful and mature beauties and spoke with a smile.
"I watched the finished film and the promotional clips that were released before. There is no problem with the quality of the program. The feedback from netizens is also very good, so there should be no problem."
As for the quality of the program of "Chinese Poetry Conference", Zhou Yu has watched the finished film, so there is no doubt about director Jiang Dan's ability. The feedback online is also very good now. We will wait until next Saturday to see the results.
"Oh, let's not talk about this anymore. Anyway, we can see the situation next week."
Director Jiang Dan drank some wine, and her mature and beautiful face was a little red, but she showed the charm of a mature woman. She looked at Zhou Yu and asked with a smile.
"It's you. I see that your anime has a good reputation. The first broadcast data is not bad among original animations. It is expected that the results will increase a lot in the future."
Zhou Yu thought she was going to talk about his animation, but the conversation changed and he asked him: "I want to ask you, do you want to get involved in movies or TV series?"
She knew very well that Zhou Yu was doing animation and other things to prepare for his future entry into the film and television industry. She actually felt that with Zhou Yu's current screenwriting ability, he could give it a try.
From animation and variety shows, it can be seen that Zhou Yu's screenwriting skills are very good. Movies and TV series are all very similar, so there is nothing to be lost by letting Zhou Yu give it a try. If it succeeds, these two industries will be big cakes.
Zhou Yu has always had this idea, but he has been busy recently and has not thought about focusing on movies and TV series.
But Director Jiang Dan took the initiative to mention this matter, and Zhou Yu did not hide his thoughts.
"I have this plan, but I've been busy lately, so I might have to go later. Let's get through this period first and then talk about it."
Zhou Yu has always had this plan. After all, the film and television drama industry is very profitable, and many people are trying to get in. After his company, he will definitely be involved in this industry, so he has been making plans. This animation is just to test the waters, and the effect is not bad.
"Okay, I just want to tell you that if you have a good book, I can introduce you to a director."
Zhou Yu nodded, but he felt that it was still not good to cooperate with others all the time. As for this director, he still knew a little bit in his previous life. He would learn more when the time comes. In addition, he was very clear about the plot development of those film and television dramas. Even if It shouldn't be a problem if you take a picture of it.
After having dinner with Director Jiang Dan, Zhou Yu went back to the hotel to rest. After shooting the promotional video the next day, he flew back to Zhonghai to prepare for a few days of rest.
Time soon came to Friday, ten days in the morning, and both "Bad Guys" and "The Sky Against the Sky" were updated with their third episodes.
Xu Shan, a blogger who writes film and television commentary, has already opened Qiyi Video in front of his computer. He likes this animation adapted from the novel that he had been hiding in bed to catch up on.
"This is the third episode. There are only twenty-four episodes in total. It feels too little."
The first two episodes, which were aired last week, have won praise from many fans of the original work for their highly restored plot. However, Xu Shan was a little worried. The early plot of the original work was too slow, and he was also a little worried about the pace of the animation.
If we keep following the plot and rhythm of the original work without making some appropriate adaptations, the pace of the anime will seem very sluggish, and the results will definitely decline in the future.
"The restoration of this episode is also quite high, but the rhythm is not very good. Shouldn't the anime be adapted?"
After watching the third episode, the classic scenes in the original anime were restored, and the special effects were very good. But this pace really seems to be dragging. In the first three episodes, the protagonist introduces the background and cheats, and the main plot has not yet been connected. And looking at the preview for the next episode, it seems a bit slow.
"If we keep following this pace, this anime will collapse."
Although it is good to restore the original work, the pace of the original work is slow, and the animation needs to be adapted appropriately. Otherwise, it will be counterproductive.
"Look at the bad guys again."
After watching this original Chinese comic written by Zhou Yu last week, Xu Shan was really amazed. The promotion of traditional culture, the background of historical dynasties, the painting style is also very beautiful, not to mention the modeling. The key is that the first two episodes serve as a foreshadowing of the plot, and the various hooks are sufficient to make it attractive.
The plot has already progressed to the point where the protagonist Li Xingyun and his junior sister are going down the mountain. Because Li Xingyun concealed his martial arts skills, the junior sister was a little unhappy and cried in the forest. I blame myself for having learned it step by step for so many years, but I can't compare to my senior brother who learned it secretly.
There is something funny about this scene.
Li Xingyun saw his junior sister crying and quickly comforted her.
"No, Junior Sister, don't cry. You're in this barren mountain. If you get bumped into by someone cutting firewood or hunting rabbits, they might think I've got you hurt."
Then a woodcutter passed by and looked at Li Xingyun with disdain, then glanced at Lu Linxuan who was sitting on the ground crying, shook his head, pointed at Li Xingyun, and left with a sigh.
"Ha ha."
Xu Shan also laughed when he saw this scene. There are quite a lot of comedy elements in this animation.
When he saw the protagonist and the others arriving in Yuzhou City, the heroine Ji Ruxue appeared and rushed past Li Xingyun with her horse and whip raised. Xu Shan was shocked at that look.
"Is this the heroine?"
When he saw the heroine being chased by the Xuanming Sect, Li Xingyu and Lu Linxuan followed, Xu Shan was thinking in his heart.
"Is revenge going to start in this episode?"
Li Xingyun's old servant and Lu Linxuan's father died in the hands of the Xuanming Cult earlier. When they meet this time, they should start to take revenge. Isn't it better to show up?
Revenge plus a hero saving a beauty, this exciting plot is quite classic.
Li Xingyu and Lu Linxuan defeated a large number of soldiers. One of the soldiers looked at the sword in Lu Linxuan's hand and muttered in his heart.
"She used a long sword and I used a short sword. Close combat is beneficial to me!"
The next moment, the soldier moved forward quickly, trying to kill Lu Linxuan before he could draw his sword.
However, the next moment, he felt a burst of pain, and saw Lu Linxuan pull out the long sword that was broken by his master, and stabbed into Xiao Bing's body.
"It turns out...it's a dagger!"
Seeing this scene, Xu Shan couldn't help laughing. This animation has a light comedy style in it.
"Huh? Black and white are impermanent?"
The plot has reached the point where Li Xingyun rescued Ji Ruxue. At this time, his enemies were extremely jealous when they met. In order to save his junior sister, Li Xingyun was poisoned by the poisonous palm of Black and White.
Seeing that Li Xingyun's life was hanging by a thread and he needed half a pound of glutinous rice to save him, the scene in the final episode stopped at the scene of Lu Linxuan being jumped by a white-haired boy.
The third episode of "Bad Guy" is over, and I have to say that after entering the main plot, it started to become exciting. Moreover, the pace of the entire anime is very fast, and useless plots are simply brushed off or even eliminated. Such a compact pace is very satisfying for the audience.
"I'll go! It's gone so quickly. I strongly request to update it twice a week!"
"There are only twelve episodes in total. If you do two episodes a week, haha, it will be gone soon."
"This is really a treasure of Chinese comics. I haven't seen such a wonderful original Chinese comic in a long time. Come on, I will always support it!"
"Don't tell me, the anime "Bad Guy" is really good. It gives me the motivation to follow it."
…
Now that the audience has watched the third episode, they are gradually attracted by the story of this anime. An animation based on the familiar Tang Dynasty as the background story, the modeling style and the special effects and fighting scenes are all very good. The key is that the plot is not procrastinating at all and it looks very enjoyable.
Many people came here because of Zhou Yu's reputation before, but after the third episode was updated this week, there are also many real anime fans who come to watch the anime. Originally, I was just curious to see how this original anime was, and whether the original Chinese comic was good or not. But as I watched it, I was inexplicably attracted to it, and I finished watching three episodes in one go. For a moment, everyone felt that there was something in this anime.
After Xu Shan finished watching, he was about to skip the end of the film, but because there was a message on his phone, he didn't quit directly.
"Huh? This music..."
After he finished replying to the message, he came to his senses and realized that the anime "Bad Guy" had already entered the ending theme. Listening to this song, Xu Shan actually felt that the ending song of this anime was so good.
"I remember there was no ending theme last week?"
If he remembered correctly, at the end of last week's film, it was just pure music, but listening to this melody, it seems that it was the pure music last week, but with singing added.
"This singing voice is... Wen Shiyi!"
Xu Shan is still very familiar with Wen Shiyi's singing. He is also a fan of Wen Shiyi, and he can still hear the goddess's singing.
He knew that Wen Shiyi had invested in this animation, so it was not surprising that she sang the ending song.
But what he didn't expect was that the song seemed to have been released last week, but it was just pure music, and the full version was released this week.
"origin……"
Xu Shan also searched the Internet for this song, and it was indeed just released. It seems that the pure music version of the anime released last week may be because it has not been produced yet.
But when I listened to the pure music last week, I felt that this song has a lot of feeling. It is a piece of music that leans towards the ancient style. The gentle rhythm combined with the animation pictures really has a sense of atmosphere.
"Sure enough, the songwriter is Zhou Yu."
This time, Xu Shan looked at the author of Wen Shiyi's song as Zhou Yu, and he felt that this was not the "Teacher Zhou Yu" but the singer Zhou Yu.
After all, this is an anime written by him, and he must have written the ending theme as well.
"I really thought I could close my eyes and say nothing
Already far away from the worldly world
Really believe that I am transcendent
It can turn all worries into smoke..."
Xu Shan found the ancient music and lyrics very pleasant to listen to. There is no doubt about Zhou Yu's talent, and as this song "Original Point" is the ending song of an anime, the lineup is quite luxurious.
The songwriter is Zhou Yu and the singer is Wen Shiyi. Do you believe that such a lineup will appear in the ending song of an anime?
Not to mention Zhou Yu, today's top players are even men who want to subvert the Chinese music scene. Wen Shiyi, whose recent album has been a hit, is considered a super popular singer who has entered the ranks of divas. Which one can be pulled out at will? It is not something that major programs are clamoring for.
"This ending theme alone, probably no other anime can compare to it."
After listening to the song "Original Point", Xu Shan felt that it was quite good, and it really fit in well with the anime.
The key is that after watching the third episode of this week's update, he feels more and more that the anime "Bad Person" is very good.
This rhythm is really hard to see in anime. There is no water at all, and the plot is not sloppy at all. He even feels that one episode of "Bad Guy" is worth two or more episodes of other anime.
"I feel that if this development continues, the anime Ni Tianqiong will be a bit dangerous."
Although when it first aired, "Ni Tian Qiong" relied on its advantage of having a huge number of fans of the original work to win over the anime "Bad Person". But now, judging from the performance of these two animations, there is a high possibility that Zhou Yu and his team's "Bad Guy" will break out later. I won’t talk about the modeling and special effects. Both anime are not bad, but in terms of plot, the animation "Bad Man" has a good rhythm and is far better than the anime "The Sky".
With such a result, perhaps the previous "Against the Sky" can still be sustained by fans of the original work. But the further you get to the back, the weaker it will become. If it continues like this, it will probably be surpassed by "Bad Guy".
As for Mr. Wang of Starlight Entertainment, he has been very proud of himself in the past week. "The Sky Against the Sky", an anime invested by his own organization, was a hit, and its premiere even broke the record for Chinese comics. As for Zhou Yu and others who want to compete with them, they are completely unqualified. When it premiered, they missed Zhou Yu by a big margin.
Recently, in the company and in front of those old guys, he felt that he was walking with wind.
As long as this animation can maintain such results and earn them more money during the shareholders' meeting before the Spring Festival next month, then I can let my father talk about it and transfer myself back to the position of president.
At that time, the entire company, the entire Starlight Entertainment, will belong to their Lao Wang family again!
"Haha, Zhou Yu, you still want to fight me. Do you think I will lose to you this time?"
In terms of music, he admits that Zhou Yu is great, but in animation, film and television, Zhou Yu, haha, is just a younger brother.
If you are in such a hurry to change careers, even if your animation reputation is good, you will still be unable to win if you can't win them.
Mr. Huang from Taochang Qiyi Video looked at the playback data of "Defying the Sky" this week. Although it did not decline and even increased a bit, there were obviously more negative comments.
"The plot is too slow?"
But when they cooperated with Starlight Entertainment, they also learned lessons and experiences from other animations. We know that animation adapted from such a popular novel must respect the original work, so that it can achieve success by relying on the huge number of fans of the original work. This time they did it, highly restoring the plot of the original work, and even many classic scenes that fans of the original work were looking forward to were restored. As a result, many viewers are now saying that after three episodes, the plot progress is a bit slow.
This makes Mr. Huang a little worried. If this is really the case, will it be difficult to handle in the future?
"But there are hooks in the plot, which should attract the audience to continue watching."
In the original plot, although the early pace is slow, there are many foreshadowings. And now the data is getting better and better, which shows that their reputation for highly restoring the original work is exploding, attracting more fans of the original work to watch.
As long as we can retain these fans of the original work, our results will not be bad in the future.
As for Penguin Video, Mr. Yang Kunliang also looked at the playback data of "Bad Guy".
"Hey, there's something going on. The data has gone up, and the reviews are getting more and more."
When it premiered, even though they didn't win Taochang's "Against the Sky", they recognized it. After all, it is adapted from a popular novel and has its own traffic and fan base. But they are not bad here either. The premiere broke the record for original Chinese comics, and the data is very good.
This week, the playback of the third episode continues to increase, and the reputation is also very good. Looking back at "Against the Sky", although the data is good, Mr. Yang glanced at it and complained that the plot was too slow.
This is an opportunity for them.
"It seems that I will have another chance to surpass them later."
And tonight, the eighth episode of "Singer" was officially broadcast.
The audience is looking forward to this episode. Liu Zifan came in the last episode and once again ignited the grudge between the rap circle and Zhou Yu. Everyone knows that Zhou Yu will start to fight back in this issue. Many people want to see if Zhou Yu can do rap, and what are the pure rap songs that Zhou Yu brings?
"I'm really looking forward to Zhou Yu rapping."
Lin Jiajia has already clicked on the program and is waiting for Zhou Yu to appear.
"Hmm? This time the kicking singer is actually Zhao Lei!"
Thanks to book friends and Sheji for your monthly votes!
