director of the millennium

The National Day holiday is a big day celebrated both online and offline.

Various online games are holding National Day activities, and offline merchants of all sizes are holding promotions to stimulate consumption.

In these lively days, the release of "Soul Ferry" cannot be the only thing that attracts public attention, and even the attention it arouses is only spread in a small area.

But as Wu Yuan sang in the song, a new storm is brewing, let the bullets fly for a while.

On the 3rd, "Soul Ferry" updated the fifth episode of Hanging Sword and the sixth episode of "The Evil Spirit in the Dormitory" on time.

It is still thought-provoking, looking at social issues in society from the unique perspective of the soul. It still talks about the trivial and complicated aspects of life through the ancient and modern world of humans, gods, ghosts and spirits.

One idea per unit, slowly spread out, using ghosts to convey the warmth of people.

Gradually, "Soul Ferry" began to spread like a virus on the Internet.

In major forums and QQ groups, it is like there is a mysterious organization. A large number of netizens ask everyone when they meet: "Hey, have you watched the recent "Soul Ferry"?"

"Didn't you see it? Hurry up and go see it, it's so beautiful!"

"It will be broadcast exclusively in the era of light and shadow. The only place on the entire network where you can find resources."

As if I wanted to share the mysterious code, the drama "Soul Ferry" spread rapidly among netizens. More and more people were introduced to Amway by friends and netizens, and downloaded Light and Shadow Quickcast to take a look at this What is the situation of the TV series that everyone is so proud of?

Of course, there is also a group of people who have a high level of rebelliousness. The more you recommend it, the less they want to see it, but such people are in the minority after all.

After all, more people are willing to take Amway.

The servers in the light and shadow era have also faced the greatest test.

Every day, the number of newly registered users increases by hundreds of thousands, and the number of people online is also increasing.

Although for P2P technology, the more viewers watching at the same time, the faster the cache, but this still requires server support.

Wang Xin had planned to rent more than a dozen servers in advance, and now they are finally put to use.

At the end of the National Day holiday, the total number of views of "Soul Ferry" has exceeded 3000 million, and the average number of views per episode has reached 300 million.

Compared with the daily increase of hundreds of thousands of new users, this data seems to be a little less and does not match the number, but Wang Xin does not think there is any problem.

After all, not every newly registered user will really finish watching "Soul Ferry". Maybe after watching the first episode, they stopped watching if they didn't like it.

With 3000 million views, it is already very successful for the first online drama.

And, this is just the beginning.

As "Soul Ferry" gradually became famous on the Internet, real media and newspapers began to take notice of this so-called "China's first online drama" that became popular on the Internet!
The official media remained silent for the time being, but newspapers in various provinces and cities immediately made special reports on the drama.

"Recently there is a very popular film and television drama on the Internet called "Soul Ferry". In "Soul Ferry", the screenwriter shows the "seven deadly sins" of people in real society through various stories, which is full of moral admonishment and warning. , the audience cannot help but reflect on their own behavior after watching it.”

"My favorite is the hanging sword story in episode five."

"A reporter's job is to find the truth and make it known to the public."

"In this episode, fortunately the heroine has such a conscience, but unfortunately, she also has such a conscience."

"She is a good journalist who is dedicated to pursuing the truth and making it known to the public."

"But these truths involve the interests of her superiors, and she cannot provoke her interests if they touch her."

"She just wanted to be a good reporter, but those dark forces tried to prevent her from publishing the truth. She didn't give in. As a result, she lost her life."

"Fortunately, Xia Dongqing can see ghosts. Fortunately, Xia Dongqing can help her fulfill her wish."

"But the living has died, and she lost her life for the truth."

"This social status quo is exactly the problem currently faced by China's news industry."

"How many real news have been suppressed, how many media people have sacrificed for justice and truth, how can we ever know?"

"Many entertainment reporters today have lost their professional ethics and are committed to eye-catching news and trying to create sensational effects. How much truth is buried."

"They were supposed to be the propagandists of justice and truth, but in the end they became the ones who buried the truth."

"I believe that, as said in this film and television series, justice will eventually defeat darkness. The truth may be late, but it will never be absent."

"Although "Soul Ferry" is a story about "ghosts", it is all about human nature!"

"Compared to unfounded supernatural horrors such as ghosts, this drama is more about depicting the human heart."

As the most influential newspaper in the South, "Southern Metropolis Daily" has written a special article specifically for "Soul Ferry" in its latest issue.

Perhaps it's because the fifth episode of this drama really touched the hearts of many media practitioners, and they couldn't help but cheer and shout for this drama.

As an online drama, this drama is not actually exquisite or high-quality. To describe it as a domestically produced conscientious work is a bit exaggerated.

But for a film and television work, the aspect of persuasion may be very important, but what is more important is the core soul of the script.

Obviously, the script of "Soul Ferry" is very good. It combines warmth, vulgarity, comedy, cuteness, tears, and abuse, and it creates a delicious hodgepodge.

Every audience can find a few stories from these dozen unit stories that touch everyone's heart, resonate with and move them, and applaud them.

If it can do this, this film and television drama is destined to be successful, become a new wave, and become a big hit.Whether it is broadcast on a TV station or online, it will not hinder its rapid spread of influence!
And just when "Soul Ferry" was gradually causing a storm online and offline, Wu Yuan came to a villa on the outskirts of Beijing in a low-key manner.

This villa is very large, or a manor is more appropriately described.

The assistant parked the car at the parking lot. As soon as Wu Yuan got out of the car, he saw a graceful lady with two children of about ten years old walking up to greet him.

"Hey, Sister Chen Hong, I'm so embarrassed that you came to greet me in person." With an authentic Beijing movie, Wu Yuan quickly stepped forward and hugged Chen Hong.

"Are these two young masters?" he asked, pointing to the two children following Chen Hong.

"Hey, is it expensive or not?" Chen Hong rolled her eyes at Wu Yuan: "The older one is Yu Ang, my and Lao Chen's eldest son, and the younger one is Feiyu, our younger son."

"Yu Ang, Feiyu, come and say hello to uncle."

As soon as Chen Hong waved, the two children came up, raised their heads and looked at Wu Yuan curiously, and said, "Hello, Uncle Wu~"

A child of eight or nine years old is always the cutest. Wu Yuan nodded with a smile, pinched their faces intimately, and then said: "You guys are welcome too."

He knew how much Chen Kaige paved the way for his younger son to pursue his dream of entering the entertainment industry. He could only say that no matter how arrogant a person is, he would lower his head for his children.

Touching the back of the still chubby Chen Feiyu's head with some emotion, Wu Yuan asked Chen Hong with a smile: "Sister Hong, where is Director Kai Ge?"

"Old Chen is waiting for you in the living room. Come on, come on, follow me."

Wu Yuan nodded and quickly followed her.

After a while, the two of them arrived at the living room on the first floor of the villa. The tall Chen Kaige was standing at the door to greet them.

Well, very formal.

Chen Kaige's aura of a veteran scholar is still so strong.

"Hong, take the two kids to play first. Director Wu and I have something to talk about."

After waving to Chen Hong to take away the "irrelevant people", Chen Kaige smiled and said to Wu Yuan: "Director Wu, you are such a busy person and you still have time to visit me. I am very proud of it."

Some were not used to Chen Kaige's politeness, so Wu Yuan could only smile without saying anything, and followed Chen Kaige into the living room and sat down.

"I know your temperament. You don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. If you have anything to do with me, don't tell me directly on the phone."

Chen Kaige asked casually while taking out the tea set and making tea.

What else can I do? Of course I am here to invite Chen Kaige to take over "Painted Skin 2".

After Wu Yuan thought about it carefully, he still felt that Chen Kaige could give it a try to make "Painted Skin 2". Xu Ke was too busy with the "Di Renjie" series.

Although the risks are somewhat high, the returns are also high.

Wu Yuan was the director of the previous film, and he hired Chen Kaige to direct the second film. At least in terms of its strong style and box office appeal, it still lives up to its reputation.

In addition, the film "Mei Lanfang" directed by Kege at the end of the year will restore his reputation and make the audience feel that he can do it again, dispelling the impact of reputation after the failure of "The Promise".

At least next year's Chen Kaige has a hint of returning to the top, and his reputation has returned to a good level.

Rather than letting his reputation, which had finally turned around, be ruined by "The Orphan of Zhao" again, it would be better to watch the entire "Painted Skin 2" before that and make the most of it!

"That's it." Wu Yuan rubbed his hands and took the teacup from Chen Kaige's hand while saying, "Director Kaige, do you still remember what we talked about at the premiere of "Hero"?"

"What's going on?" Chen Kaige was a little surprised.

Wu Yuan slapped his thigh and said, "I'll go for a dip in the water first for you and try China's own magic and fantasy-themed movies!"

Chen Kaige, who was originally cheerful, immediately stiffened his expression.

As long as we don't talk about fantasy-themed movies and talk about "The Promise", then we are still good friends.

But if you want to talk about this, then I'm sorry, but we don't have to be friends anymore!

However, what does Wu Yuan mean by suddenly mentioning this matter?
Why don't you come to humiliate this poet?

He doesn't look like this kind of person, does he?

Just when Chen Kaige was having a lot of thoughts and doubts, Wu Yuan then said: "Hey, isn't this "Painted Skin" quite successful?"

"Now the company wants to make a second film, and the script is almost finished."

"I'm thinking, Director Kege, you are the director who has the deepest understanding of magic and fantasy films in China, and is also the most passionate about this subject."

"So I wanted to ask you to come out and direct the second part of "Painted Skin"."

Yes, although Wu Yuan has made several "Pirates of the Caribbean" films and he also directed "Painted Skin", he really doesn't love fantasy themes that much. He actually prefers fairy tales.

"Looking for me to film the sequel to "Painted Skin"?" Chen Kaige's hand holding the tea cup paused in mid-air, his mouth half-opened, and he looked at Wu Yuan blankly.

Don't say it yet, don't say it yet!
Chen Kaige digested what Wu Yuan said, and his eyes immediately lit up.

Is this my chance to avenge my past humiliation? ! (End of chapter)
