Chapter 266: Out of My Own Swordsman becomes a big hit, Cheng Cheng opens the copyright of Journey to the West

“The soundtrack is great!”

"It's so good!!!! This drama is better than all the recent dramas. Cheng Cheng is as reassuring as always! It's really good! Just from the first two episodes, I feel that this drama is not simple. I hope the subsequent plot will not be lame, please!"

"It's so good, and the pace is so fast. The background and characters of the two episodes have been introduced. The casting is in line with my aesthetic taste. The middle-aged Tong Xiangyu, the handsome and mature Bai Zhantang, the quirky Mo Xiaobei, the elegant and verbose Lu Xiucai, the rough and silly Li Dazui, the willful and kind Guo Furong, each character has a distinct personality, which is very friendly to my eyes, my brain, and my breasts!"

"Where can you find so many good actors who can act?!"

"There is a new wave of domestic dramas. It feels like they are being created in a real and natural way!"

"It's a very exciting start, with parallel editing to explain the words and deeds of the "male and female evil" from different perspectives, and the background rendering in the front also whetted people's appetite. The part where Bai Zhantang sells out his teammates at the beginning introduces each character very well. Moreover, the characters' personalities are relatively distinct, and the most important ones are Bai Zhantang, the shopkeeper, Guo Furong and Lao Xing. The character setting of Guo Furong is very clever, and it is also easy to create conflicts."

"Indeed! Cheng Cheng's ability to control the plot is amazing! The first two episodes mainly introduce how Tongfu Inn "subdued" Guo Furong.

As a "second-generation star", Guo Furong's vision of the world is definitely different from that of the society and the general public. This explains why the people hate her for what she believes to be "doing justice for the people".

Although Guo Furong stayed in Tongfu Inn in the end, she still found it difficult to accept at first that she, as a person with the huge dream of becoming a "female knight", had to do odd jobs in such a small inn, so we see her acting like a child, acting coquettishly and naughty.

If Guo Furong is a willful child, then Tong the Shopkeeper is a smart parent.

In my opinion, Tong's education of Guo Furong is reflected in three aspects: First, face is earned by oneself, and there is no reason to eat without working. Second, how can you sweep the world if you can't clean your own house. Being a female knight and doing odd jobs depends on taking one step at a time. No matter how big or small the dream is, it all comes down to being down-to-earth. Finally, I think Tong knew from the beginning that Guo Furong's illness was acted, but she still cooperated with her to act until Guo Furong herself felt that she could not act anymore.

I think there are many children like Guo Furong who like to act and lie in life. Some parents choose to turn a blind eye, while others choose to expose them. Compared with these two, I think the solution given by Tong Zhanggui not only takes care of the child's face, but also allows the child to gradually realize the mistake he made. It is perfect. "

"Otherwise, this is Cheng Cheng's script! It will never be this simple!"

"I think the most valuable thing about Cheng Cheng is that his scripts never sound high and mighty, and never seem to look down on the lower classes from the rentier class. He can really feel the joys and sorrows of the lower classes. The more people like him there are in the entertainment industry, the better!"

"The lines are trendy but not out of place, and every actor's performance is excellent. The scholar looks like a nerd, but his eloquence is not inferior at all at critical moments. The plot is interesting, and the lines are informative, making you willingly drink Tong Zhanggui's spiritual soup. It feels like these actors are going to be popular again!"

"Where are you coming from, sir? You are coming from where you came from. Where are you going? You are going to where you are going. What is your surname? Please don't worry, your surname is Guo. This line is amazing!!!"

"I didn't expect Bai Zhantang to be a hidden master."

"Hahahahahahaha, I am dying of laughter. The first episode even has an idiom chain."

"Interesting, interesting, very interesting! I'm watching a very new TV series!"

"The script is of really high quality! Although it's a bit nonsensical, the comedy effect is very good. The actors' performances are very good, without any expressionlessness or exaggeration. The whole TV series has a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere, suitable for the whole family to watch. Cheng Cheng, you are worthy of being you!"

"Little Guo was handsome for three seconds when he first appeared, and then he was bullied, starved, had his feet burned, had his liver damaged, and had his feet chopped. It was so miserable. The first two episodes were simply the Passion of Guo Furong!"

"Wherever there are people, there is the world of martial arts." I really like Bai Zhantang's last sentence. The real use of martial arts is "to come in handy when you really need it." "When robbers come, you can hit them head-on. When you see injustice on the road, you can draw your sword to help. Only at these times can martial arts exert its true power, and the source of this power comes from the righteousness in your heart. As long as a person has this righteousness, he can be invincible even if he has no martial arts."

“I think this drama has the potential to be a masterpiece!”

"A movie like "The Professional" and "Wulin Waijia" vividly show that there are good actors in the domestic entertainment industry. As long as we let go of the casting, there will be many actors with good acting skills!"

As soon as it was broadcast, the reputation of "Wulin Waijia" exploded.

TV dramas are like this. You don’t need to watch too much. You can tell their quality after watching the first two episodes.

Unlike what some fans boasted, "You've only watched two episodes and you're already giving a review? What can you tell from the first two episodes? Professional anti-fans! Netizens!", "It gets good after the eighth episode, this show is slow to warm up!", "Have you watched the eighth episode? The best is all in the latter part, I don't know what you're complaining about!", "Why did you watch the whole series if it wasn't good? Wouldn't a normal person have quit long ago? Professional anti-fans! Netizens!"

The audience's evaluation of "Wulin Wai Zhuan" is:
Great drama potential!

The next day, many media reported on it.

"The premiere of "Wulin Wai Zhuan" was a success with popularity exceeding 26198! Fuhai TV snatched the spot from CCTV-!"

"Ancient costumes integrated into modern life! "Wulin Wai Zhuan" is so good that you can't stop watching it! "

"Cheng Cheng's new work "Wulin Wai Zhuan" has received great reviews! Who are the six new actors?"

"You can always trust Cheng Cheng's script! A comedy full of the flavor of Jianghu is not only a good medicine to relieve stress, but also a philosophy of life! "Wulin Wai Zhuan" pioneered its own language!"

"The deconstruction aesthetic concept of the ultimate post-modern color collage features, "Wulin Wai Zhuan" has a reason to be a hit!"

"Cheng Cheng's hit "Wulin Wai Zhuan" comes out again. Can he "take off" Fu Hai TV this time?"

-

In the "Wulin Wai Zhuan" group, everyone was cheering and overjoyed!
Ma Chun (Bai Zhantang) "Brothers and sisters!!! Do you know? When we were filming today, the director suddenly called me away and said he wanted to add a line for me. I said no, but he insisted. I said I was just playing Bai Zhantang, hahahaha!!"

Li Cheng (Lv Xiucai): "Me too, today a reporter said he wanted to contact me and interview me!"

Li Ran (Guo Furong): "@Song Li (Mo Xiaobei) Xiaobei, what about you? You should be more sensational in school, right?!"

Song Li (Mo Xiaobei): "Really!!! Sister Xiao Guo! Today at school, my teacher and classmates came to me and asked for my autograph! They refused to leave even though class was almost over!"

Become famous!
Life has changed since then!
Everyone is happy!
No one knows how difficult it has been for them to get to where they are today.

The two directors of "Wulin Waijiao", Da San and Xiao Si, were even more excited. Before, their works were shot by Cheng Cheng or Beret, and they could only serve as assistants!
But it’s different now!

"Wulin Waijia" was filmed by them themselves!
Judging from this quality, this work will become their classic and the foundation of their careers! Even if there are no good works in the future, "Wulin Wai Zhuan" will be enough for them to live on for the rest of their lives!
Xu Fan, who plays Tong Xiangyu, tagged them in the group:

"Thank you Director Xi and Director Lu! Without you two, we wouldn't be successful. Thank you both for choosing us when casting!"

Others also expressed their gratitude.

The junior and senior students were grinning from ear to ear and responded in the group.

Junior: “It’s mainly because Director Cheng’s script is good. We just read it out.”

Xiao Si: "That's right, you should thank President Cheng, and of course, everyone performed well! Are you all free tonight? Let's arrange a place and a time, I'll treat you, and we'll have a celebration party together and celebrate!"

Suddenly, the whole group became lively and everyone agreed.

Only the actress who plays Zhu Wushuang is distressed. She is also one of the protagonists, but she has to wait until the 31st episode to appear!
She is so anxious!

-

At 1 p.m., under the close attention of the entire industry, the ratings of "Wulin Wai Zhuan" were released:
The premiere show had a high viewership rating of 2.36%, ranking first in the country, and its viewership share in the same time period also reached 9.76%, making it the undisputed king among TV programs broadcast in the same time period.

When this data came out, the entertainment industry was stunned!
It would have been fine if Cheng Cheng didn't take action, but once he did, everyone was dumbfounded!
Be nice!

This is a premiere ratings of 2.36%!
The ratings are even higher than when "Love Apartment" first aired!
The most important thing is that Fuhai TV is a local TV station! Damn it, just because Fuhai TV has Cheng Cheng's support, can it take off all the way? Isn't this too easy? !
Not to mention that other local TV stations are envious and jealous, even CCTV-8 is a little jealous.

The scumbag Cheng Cheng was cooperating well with CCTV, so why did he turn around and join Fu Hai TV?
Fu Hai TV Station, in the office.

Huo Xiwen slammed the table excitedly!

The corners of his mouth are harder to suppress than his fucking 98K!
Hahaha!
Envy, right?
Are you jealous?
no way!
He can't shout!

This is what I bet on early on!

Do you know what "One minute in bed, ten years of hard work outside of bed" means?

Some people just thought that Fuhai TV climbed into Cheng Cheng's bed easily, but those people didn't know how determined he was to bet on Cheng Cheng! They didn't know how thick-skinned he was in order to ask Cheng Cheng for the TV series!

Those people don’t know!

Those people only saw that he had gotten a big support, and then they were envious, jealous and resentful.

But the thigh was clearly there, why was he the only one who hugged it? This is ability!
Huo Xiwen was extremely glad for his original decision.

Fortunately, he has a keen eye and is able to make decisions on his own.

At this time, his phone rang. It was the provincial leader calling.

Huo Xiwen laughed and said:
".It is all thanks to the leadership's good leadership. It is inseparable from the leadership's wise guidance and strong support. I only try my best to do my job well. Leader, please rest assured, we will definitely make a good plan to escort this work."

On the other side, Shinhwa Company was also celebrating and encouraging.

Another TV series of the company has been released, the company has made money, and the employees can get red envelopes again!

Both "The Professional" and "Wulin Waijia" have brought Cheng Cheng considerable profits, because the cost of selecting young actors is too low. For example, in "The Professional", all the actors' salary was only 100 million, the production cost was 8 million, the publicity and promotion cost was million, and the total cost was million. The Shinhwa Company made a net profit of million.

The actors' pay for "Wulin Waijia" was also very low, with the six main characters getting 5000 yuan per episode, which works out to 80 yuan for 40 episodes, plus all other miscellaneous costs totaling million yuan.

It is conservatively estimated that "Wulin Waijia" can bring Cheng Cheng 1.5 million in revenue, not including subsequent copyright income, etc.

Now, Shenhua Company has more than 20 billion yuan in its account, and Cheng Cheng personally has more than 1 billion yuan. The company's finances are very healthy and his own wallet is also full.

Next, "Wulin Wai Zhuan" continues to be popular. The third and fourth episodes have a viewership rating of 2.48%!

Episode 2.62 and , ratings %!

Episode 2.87 and , ratings %!

Episode 3.23 and , ratings %!

Episode 3.51 and , ratings %!

Every day, classic lines from "Wulin Wai Zhuan" appear frequently:
"Life is very short, fleeting like a fleeting moment. But this mood is very long, like mountains and rivers, stretching endlessly."

“Looking at hell from heaven, life is like a sitcom. Looking at heaven from hell, who are you working hard for?

“No matter how beautiful the illusion is, it is still a dream. Treasure what is in front of you, and it will be real. Don’t let the golden cup face the moon in vain. Raise your glass to celebrate the meeting with your destined person.”

“No matter how tired or hard it is, just treat yourself as an idiot. No matter how difficult or dangerous it is, just treat yourself as a shameless person.”

"Others have their own strengths, and you have your weaknesses!"

"I like you more than I like Laozi, Zhuangzi, Mencius and Confucius."

"Sympathy for criminals is a crime against the people."

These golden sentences have made the popularity of "Wulin Waijia" continue to rise.

Because "Wulin Waijia" is not a simple TV series. Every episode of it has a moral, and it tells you the moral between laughter, anger and scolding.

For example, in episode 9, Tong Xiangyu told Mo Xiaobei that it was okay to be naughty, but you couldn't hurt the people who loved you. Children's words were innocent, but you couldn't let others down. In episode 10, Tong Xiangyu told Captain Xing that we respect you not because of your clothes or because you yell all the time, but because you can protect the people in the town.

There are many more truths like this. Since its launch, related hot searches for "Wulin Waijia" have never left the hot search list, and each episode has aroused widespread discussion among netizens.

Some experts also said: "Wulin Wai Zhuan is comparable to the social novels of the modern times! There has never been such a novel before, and there will probably never be such a novel again.

Douban also released its ratings, with 1.8 people giving "Wulin Waijia" a score of 9.5.

I said before that Cheng Cheng was reluctant to give good scripts to newcomers, and there is nothing to say! The script of "Wulin Wai Zhuan" is not good, and there is no better script than this. The score of 9.5 has exceeded the average score of all Cheng Cheng's works.

Even "The Little Prince" and even "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils".

It’s not that Cheng Cheng is reluctant to come up with a good script; it’s that he is too willing to do so.

In the office, Li Zhuo reported his work:
".The Rumored Chen Qianqian is progressing well, one third of it has been completed, and it is expected to be completed in mid-June."

".The Thai version of "A Little Thing Called First Love" is scheduled to be released on the first of next month. The Thai side would like to invite you and Yan Gou'er to sing the theme song of the Thai version. The asking price is 8 million RMB."

".Fuhai TV hopes to produce the second season of "Super Detective" and "King of Masked Singer" as soon as possible."

".DQ Game Company wants to buy the game copyright of "Journey to the West""

"."

There are so many things to do, and this year is really busy. Cheng Cheng estimated that the TV series he will shoot this year include "Chinese Paladin III", "Love Apartment 2", and "The Three-Body Problem", the movie "Resident Evil", and the variety shows "Who's the Detective" Season 2 and "King of Masked Singer Season 2".

There are six works in total.

If time is enough, Cheng Cheng also wants to film "Flirting Scholar", and will also start preparations for "Journey to the West".

Time is running out!
Cheng Cheng really wants to split one day into two days!
Cheng Cheng said, "We want Fuhai TV to start preparing for "King of Masked Singer". The guessing panel members should ask Xi Xiang and Xu Lin if they have time. Once the preparations are completed, we can start production. The second season of "Who's the Detective" will be produced after Ni Lu Kezi finishes filming "The Rumored Chen Qianqian". With these two variety shows this year, it should be enough."

Li Zhuo asked: "Mr. Cheng, are you still deeply involved in "The King of Masked Singer"? "

Cheng Cheng shook his head:

"I will not participate. I will leave it to the directors below. With the foundation of the first season, we should be able to attract many talented singers to participate. But I can announce that I will tailor a song for each singer in each season."

Li Zhuo's eyes lit up instantly. With Cheng Cheng as a bargaining chip, this year's "King of Masked Singer" is expected to be exciting!

She was just worried that Cheng Cheng would be too busy with his unconventional creations to take care of himself.

Cheng Cheng added: "The Thai version of the theme song of "A Little Thing Called First Love" can be agreed. As for the DQ game, I forgot to mention it. Tell them that they can use the copyright of "Journey to the West" for free."

Li Zhuo was puzzled: "Ah? It's free?"

Cheng Cheng confirmed, "You can post a Weibo and announce that, except for the copyright of the book, all other copyrights of Journey to the West are open to the world. Any organization or individual can use it for free, whether for commercial or non-commercial purposes, just like The Internationale. However, the copyright of the TV series must be reserved. We will not allow others to film until our TV series is aired."

Li Zhuo didn't understand: "Why? Journey to the West is so valuable. It's a gold mine."

Why open?
Why not make any money from copyright fees?
Is it stupid?

Doesn’t that make sense?
At least, that's what Li Zhuo thinks!

but--

Past life!

China’s first feature-length animation is “Princess Iron Fan”!
The first full-length color animation was "Havoc in Heaven"!
It was "The Return of the Great Sage" that saved domestic animated films!
The novel that opened the era of online literature was "The Legend of Sun Wukong"!
China's first domestically produced stand-alone 3A game is "Black Myth: Wukong".

Every time the Chinese entertainment industry creates a blockbuster that breaks out of the circle, it is inseparable from [Sun Wukong]!

It is because of the adaptations and singing by generations of people that Sun Wukong has such a high status in the hearts of the Chinese people and the IP of "Journey to the West" has been developed to its maximum value.

Cheng Cheng did not want to guard the copyright of "Journey to the West" and make it his exclusive property, nor did he want to put "Journey to the West" on the shelf and not let others touch it.

He wants to be the father of mythology in the current time and space!

Of course anyone can adapt "Journey to the West" and anyone can use it!
It can be adapted into games, songs, short videos, short plays, movies, comics, novels, whatever! What he wants is for a hundred flowers to bloom! As for the adaptation being rotten and the audience being fed up, Cheng Cheng is not afraid at all.

In the past, so many people made random adaptations of "Journey to the West", and after good works were produced, will the audience still support it enthusiastically?

Does not affect!
Cheng Cheng said: "If you want to maximize the value of Journey to the West, you have to open up the copyright. It's okay, just do as I say."

"Okay." Li Zhuo didn't understand the reason, but she didn't dwell on it. She mentioned another matter, "Also, the media wants to know what our 'Three 3s' project is for this year."

It's only May now, so there's no rush for the movie, but the TV series can be started.

Cheng Cheng did not shirk this point.

He hopes that more actors who have risen from the bottom will enter the entertainment industry, that more people who know the hardships of life will be able to rise to high positions, that there will be fewer ugly children of capitalists and more children of ordinary people.

He took out a script from the drawer and handed it to Li Zhuo. It had obviously been completed a long time ago:

"This is the script for this year's TV series. Give it to Xiaoyi."

Li Zhuo took it and saw the following words written on the script:

"Underground Traffic Station".

After leaving Cheng Cheng's office, Li Zhuo sat in front of his computer, opened Weibo, and posted two messages:
3. This year, Shinhwa Company's '1 ' plan is launched!
TV drama script: "Underground Traffic Station", drama/comedy/anti-Japanese war
Subject: TV series
Producer: Shinhwa Media Co., Ltd.

Director: To be determined; Screenwriter: Cheng Cheng.

Initial cost: 3000 million.

Starting today, Shinhwa Company is opening casting to the whole society. The casting conditions are the same as before. Those who are interested can submit their resumes. Those who pass the audition will enter a one-month training and three-month filming.

two,

Like "The Internationale", "Journey to the West" will be open to the world except for the copyright of the book. However, the copyright of the TV series must wait for the TV series produced by the Myth Company to be completed first. I hope that practitioners in relevant film and television companies will wait patiently.

The two pieces of news directly caused a stir in the entire Chinese Internet!

The former, because of the success of "The Professional" and "Wulin Waijiao", attracted countless amateurs, students, and people without resources to dream of becoming famous overnight!

The latter has left authors and bigwigs in the film and television circles puzzled, and made TV drama and film production companies, game companies, directors, and screenwriters ecstatic!

Whether they thought Cheng Cheng was ill again or that he was a man of high moral character, they all set their sights on the popular "Journey to the West".

But there is a group that appears to be very calm, even nonchalant.

That’s the online writer!
Because they had already used "Journey to the West".

I can only say that copyright thieves are like this~
