When Chen Zhixi contacted Cai Yinong, Cai Yinong was in a meeting discussing "My Love from the Star." Tangren is famous for its period dramas, but it's not like they haven't made modern dramas before. For example, Hu Ge starred in a modern drama called "Dandelion."
Tangren Media has ambitions for modern dramas, but their attempts haven't been as successful as their period dramas, which is why they've produced fewer of them. Given the opportunity, Tangren will continue to try.
Moreover, "My Love from the Star" achieved the top ratings in ten provinces as soon as it aired. It was already so popular even before it was broadcast on a major television network. Even if Tangren Media didn't plan to produce any modern dramas, they would definitely pay attention to such a phenomenal hit.
The meeting was in progress when I received a call from Chen Zhixi, the general manager of the magical film and television company. She inquired about Yang Mi's current situation and said that Shen Qing was coming over in person.
Yang Mi is sick, and Shen Qing is coming over!
What's the point of holding a meeting? What's the point of discussing idol dramas? A real-life idol drama is already playing out right on our doorstep!
If the media finds out about this, it could cause a huge media storm.
Shen Qing and Yang Mi arrived at the set of "Chinese Paladin 3" together, where Cai Yinong personally came out to greet them. Hu Ge, Huo Jianhua, and others looked at the two with curiosity, while Tang Yan, Liu Shishi, Guo Xiaoting, and several other girls still in makeup giggled incessantly.
Yang Mi was overjoyed, but also a little embarrassed. She jokingly scolded the others, telling them not to stand there like idiots and to come and get some food and drinks.
Visiting the set to buy water and snacks is a basic routine, and Shen Qing was no exception.
Shen Qing and Cai Yinong started chatting, and then Tang Yan, Liu Shishi, and Guo Xiaoting surrounded Yang Mi, chattering away and glancing at Shen Qing every now and then.
Within a few days of joining the crew, the girls had become like best friends.
Shen Qing watched several of director Li Guoli's filming sessions. Cai Yinong mentioned that Tangren Media was holding a meeting to discuss "My Love from the Star" before Shen Qing's visit, and jokingly said that she must cooperate with Magical Films if she has the opportunity, as she would definitely learn a lot.
It was just a polite remark. Everyone knows that Shen Qing's main focus is on movies. Filming "My Love from the Star" was just a hobby. He wrote the script, but he didn't even have the energy to film it. Who would give up a movie that could easily gross hundreds of millions of dollars to make a TV series with Tangren Media?
"Great! I have a novel called 'Scarlet Heart'. Let's have our two companies co-produce it. Mr. Cai, remember to talk to Chen Zhixi about it."
Shen Qing left Hengdian and returned to Beijing that day. Cai Yinong stayed up all night watching "Scarlet Heart" and liked it very much. Regardless of whether Shen Qing was just saying it casually or sincerely, she was determined to seize this rare opportunity. So she contacted Chen Zhixi by phone that morning.
Chen Zhixi had already been informed by Shen Qing in advance, so the two quickly moved the project to a substantive stage over the phone.
Afterwards, Cai Yinong and Li Guoli talked about this matter, pondering why Shen Qing wanted to cooperate with Tangren. After thinking it over and over, they came to the conclusion that there was only one reason: Shen Qing wanted to promote Yang Mi, so he wanted to film "Scarlet Heart".
Shen Qing herself definitely wouldn't have time to film it; if she wanted to film it, she would have to find an outside director. "My Love from the Star" was directed by Liu Jiang.
Li Guoli is an authority in period dramas, and he must have been one of Shen Qing's targets long ago. However, Li Guoli has his own projects to shoot and will not accept dramas from Shenqi Films. That's why Shen Qing took the opportunity to propose a co-production between the two companies.
"That's really spoiling her."
Cai Yinong concluded with her final assessment.
The Olympic Games have officially opened, and the national strategist has become world-renowned.
A spokesperson for the New Film Union Cinema Circuit said that the opening day was the coldest day for the film market all year. Box office revenue during the Olympics was less than half of normal levels.
After returning to Beijing, Shen Qing visited the space agency several more times to check on the production of props. After the 3D animation preview made by Chang Song and Xiao Yang was approved, the special effects production work for the film was carried out in full swing. Furthermore, Ms. Liu Jia, a national first-class actress, was selected to play the role of the mother of the male protagonist who sacrificed himself in the film.
The official start date for filming of "Gravity" is getting closer.
The drama "My Love from the Star" has finished airing on all ten local channels, and the finale sparked a heated discussion across the internet.
Many viewers in various places have long heard of the show but have not yet seen the full episodes, and are already itching to watch it.
Finally, after a month of airing on local channels, the Beijing and Anhui provincial satellite TV stations quickly launched the series online.
It's been launched on satellite!
Countless viewers who had been eagerly anticipating this day spread the word.
The show has generated a lot of buzz online, but many people haven't seen it yet. Now they can finally enjoy it.
The hype online is outrageous, claiming that there won't be another masterpiece of idol dramas in the next ten years, that Fan Bingbing delivered her best performance since her debut, and that the character and the actor were perfectly in sync, etc.
It sounds like it's completely unreliable, but it's not just one or two people saying this; it's a whole bunch of netizens saying the same thing.
Many netizens watch the show with a critical eye, looking for flaws.
On the first day that "My Love from the Star" was broadcast on two satellite TV channels, the ratings in 16 cities by Beijing and Taiwan Sofres were 2.6%, and the ratings in 1 city by Anhui Satellite TV were 2.3%.
These days, a viewership rating of over 1 is considered good, over 1.5 is a huge hit, and over 2 is a phenomenal hit. Now, "My Love from the Star" is being broadcast on two satellite TV channels, one with a rating of 2.6 and the other with a rating of 2.3.
Both teams broke 2 points!
Yang Tianzhen called Fan Bingbing, who was out of town doing commercial performances, to inform her of the satellite TV ratings. She excitedly told Fan Bingbing that the response far exceeded expectations, and Fan Bingbing kept repeating, "I know, I know."
She doesn't need CSM ratings data to know how popular the show is.
Whenever Song Lan arrives at a commercial performance venue, the scene is always packed with fans. Some are screaming, some are crying excitedly, and some are shouting Song Lan's name.
Fan Bingbing has been famous for many years, and there are few people in China who don't know her name. However, she was called by her character name at a commercial performance!
She had only ever seen this level of enthusiasm from Zhao Yanzi before.
The ratings for "My Love from the Star" are definitely far lower than those for "My Fair Princess." Times have changed, but the super enthusiastic fans at the commercial performance made Fan Bingbing vaguely feel the treatment she received when Zhao Yanzi became a huge star.
Pan Yueming's commercial performance fee has been inflated to 70 yuan, while Fan Bingbing's has reached an astonishing 150 million yuan!
Jay Chou only made 120 million!
Just show up at the event, say a few words, interact with the crowd, and you've got 150 million.
The singer is going to sing two more songs!
Film and television actors have always been paid less for commercial performances than singers, and they can't get as many gigs as singers, since singers can actually sing. What can film and television stars do on stage? But right now, Fan Bingbing has so many commercial performances that she can't possibly take them all.
Although the popularity of "My Love from the Star" will eventually decline and Fan Bingbing's appearance fee will eventually return to a reasonable level, it is still extremely rare for a TV series to become this popular during its run.
Compared to making quick money through gigs, Fan Bingbing's long-term endorsement contracts have also seen a surge in popularity.
Yang Tianzhen had previously told her that a major brand had offered her an endorsement fee of 2000 million yuan for two years.
In comparison, Zhang Ziyi's asking price at that time was 1200 million yuan for two years, while Liu Yifei's was 400 million yuan for two years.
Fan Bingbing's previous asking price was 1400 million yuan for two years, but the actual transaction price was lower than the asking price. Now, the brand has approached Fan Bingbing and offered to replace her with them after her current endorsement of the same brand expires. They are willing to pay 2000 million yuan for two years.
If Fan Bingbing hadn't starred in the "Taken" series, her endorsement fees would probably have been around four or five million yuan for two years, but history has no ifs.
But Fan Bingbing received far more benefits than that.
