Chapter 101 Reputation Is Divergent, Completely Crushing Joy Media (18)_1
“Lin Fan, I was wrong. You’re the most handsome and your acting skills are the best!”
“In the future, if anyone dares to say that your acting skills are bad, I’ll directly seal that person’s mouth with a hammer.” “Lin Fan is really a handsome man. A handsome man even more handsome than Xu Yang. You’re worthy of being the male lead of this drama!”
Lin Fan silently scrolled through the comments and smiled.
He originally didn’t want to become popular because there would be many troubles after becoming popular.
But there was nothing else he could do now. With the broadcasting of Joy of Life, Lin Fan had already become extremely popular.
Even if Lin Fan wanted to be an ordinary person, he was already a celebrity.
Unknowingly, it was already Saturday night.
There were countless fans waiting to watch the updated episodes.
After broadcasting the fourth, fifth and sixth episodes, Joy of Life went on the trending topics list again.
The fans’ enthusiasm for this drama had reached an unprecedented level.
It wasn’t just Lin Fan and Xia Wanqiu’s acting skills. There were also all the details in this drama, including the intellectual fight between the protagonist and the antagonist, as well as the relationship between the male lead and the female lead. It was constantly tugging at the hearts of the audience.
After the broadcast on Saturday, the popularity of Joy of Life had reached nearly 90 million!
It had only been broadcasted for two days, but the television drama had already reached 90 million views!
And the views exceeded 400 million.
Just two days of broadcasting had such a good effect.
It wasn’t just the audience who liked this television drama. Even the employees of Tencent Arts and iQiyi were stunned.
They knew that this drama was very good, but they didn’t expect it to be so good.
“It was the right choice to buy this drama. In all these years, this is the first time such a popular drama has appeared. It’s no exaggeration to say that with the popularity of Joy of Life, it can totally become a phenomenal IP masterpiece!”
“Maybe on the streets and alleys, there will be countless people following Joy of Life. This television drama has a wide audience. It has the funny style that children like, the relationship scenes that young people like, and the political tactics that middle-aged people like. It can be said to have everything. The acting skills of its actors are outstanding and the post-production is perfect. How can this television drama be so awesome? I’ve also finished watching the subsequent scenes, especially the scene of Lin Fan and Xia Wanqiu kissing. It’s simply too perfect. After watching it, I feel like I’m going to fall in love,” Tencent Arts’ staff said.
Soon, the manager of Tencent Arts contacted the staff.
“Who is the screenwriter for this television series, Joy of Life? And who is the director? As well as the post-production team and the dubbing team? I want a name list. To be able to film such a popular television series, it must have something to do with these people,” the manager of Tencent Arts said.
After the staff member of Tencent Arts investigated, he said, “Manager, the screenwriter for this television series is Lin Fan. The male lead is Lin Fan and the director is Lu Benkai. Xue Kexin, is the team leader of the post-production team. The dubbing company is also very awesome, but what I want to say is… I heard that Lin Fan was involved in the directing, post-production, dubbing and music scoring as well.”
When the manager of Tencent Arts heard this, he was shocked. “What did you say? Not only is the screenwriter and main actor Lin Fan, he even knows how to direct and do post-production and dubbing?”
“Even if Lin Fan is just a screenwriter, he has enough value to be roped in. I’ve seen all the scenes for Joy of Life. The story is not finished at episode 46, so there will definitely be a second season. We have to contact Lin Fan as soon as possible and get the rights to the second season. When the time comes, we’ll invest in this television drama ourselves,” the manager of Tencent Arts said.
“Hurry, hurry, hurry. Think of a way to contact Lin Fan and buy the rights to the second season of Joy of Life. Ask him if he has written the second season yet. His script for the first season is too interesting,” the staff member of iQiyi said.
The two video companies made the same decision.
This television drama would become extremely popular and they had all seen Lin Fan’s worth.
Of course, they didn’t believe that Lin Fan could do post-production work or direct.
If that was the case, was Lin Fan still human?
Lin Fan alone had supported the entire film crew!
This was not something that ordinary people could measure up to.
While Joy of Life was broadcasting, General and I had also broadcasted six episodes.
There was nothing special about General and I.
After two days, “General and I” only had ten million people following it and twenty million views.
In terms of popularity, Joy of Life was already nine times ahead of it, and in terms of views, Joy of Life had twice as many views as General and I!
“Joy of Life” had a viewership of 400 million, and “General and I” only had 20 million.
This was the clear difference between them. No one could have imagined that the television dramas produced by the two entertainment companies would be broadcasted at the same time. There was actually a world of difference between them!
Whether it was the script, acting skills, plot, post-production, or dubbing, they were all crushed by Joy of Life!
“General and I” was completely defeated! Of course, “General and I” was also trending.
The reason why it was trending was because the male and female leads in this movie often used stand-ins. The main leads even used Photoshop in certain areas!
A television drama filmed with Photoshop directly treated the audience as fools. Moreover, the level of the script was really average, and the acting skills of the protagonists in it were also not good. There was no way to compare it with “Joy of Life”. The contrast between the two dramas was too strong.
“General and I” was trending because of their use of Photoshop and attracted a lot of scolding “General and I was advertised for so long and turns out to be only of this quality? What kind of acting is this? They even used Photoshop! Look at Joy of Life. Their acting is much better than yours.”
“Do you really think the audience are fools who want to suck up to you?”
“You dare to fight Joy of Life with this? I don’t know where you got your courage from. It’s a pity for the two celebrities, Wang Menghan and Zhao Ziyue.”
Looking at the huge difference between the two dramas, Happy Fruit and MangoTV were completely stunned.
Especially the persons in charge of the contract, Wang Lele and Li Mangmang. Both of them were thinking about life.
“Damn it, why didn’t I buy the premiere rights for Joy of Life? Who knew that it would be so popular… Ahhh, I regret it,” Wang Lele said. Her wrong judgment led to a huge loss for the company. She might even be fired. If she signed the premiere rights for Joy of Life, the direct profits might even exceed a hundred million!
This time, Wang Lele and Li Mangmang felt a little regretful.
The premiere rights of Joy of Life did not only represent profits, it also represented popularity!
In this era, popularity was king. The video website which could get the most internet traffic to go them would have more market share.
The popularity of Joy of Life almost caused most of the traffic to go to Tencent Arts and iQiyi.
The loss of so much traffic was no longer a loss of one or two hundred million yuan.
How many users and opportunities have they
lost?
It was even possible that their two companies would never be able to surpass Tencent Arts and iQiyi in this lifetime.
It was just because they had made a wrong judgment! And this wrong judgment would affect the entire company’s future!
