Chapter 390 A Dance of World-Famous Moments! This is going to be a showstopper at the New Year'
Chapter 390 A Dance of World-Famous Moments! This is going to be a showstopper at the New Year's Eve gala!
Chen Jincheng led a beautiful woman onto the stage, one in black and the other in white, attracting attention just as much as he had on the red carpet before.
Moreover, it's normal for celebrities and big shots to walk the red carpet with girls; it not only brings attention to the girls but is also a matter of prestige.
But now he has to bring two girls up on stage with him, which is a bit too much pampering.
They're blatantly trying to generate buzz for them.
The reporters were naturally delighted with this scene, and they all frantically pointed their cameras at the two or three people to take pictures.
This is also news that netizens really want to see.
After Chan Kam-ching took the stage, the host handed the topic to him, saying with a smile, "Welcome, Mr. Chan. We also thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend our premiere. Mr. Chan, please say hello to everyone."
Chen Jincheng took the microphone and greeted the reporters around him with a smile: "Hello everyone, I am Chen Jincheng. First of all, please don't look at the two beautiful women next to me with those ambiguous eyes. Although there are many slanders against me online, there is really nothing between me and them."
These words left the reporters looking at each other in bewilderment, and some couldn't help but boo.
Seriously, they finally understand what they meant by "Chen Jincheng has always been single".
There used to be a rhyme: "Ordinary Gutian Le, Da Bei is alright Sa Beining, Ordinary family Ma Huateng, Regret creating Ali Jack Ma, Nothing Wang Jianlin, Unaware of his wife's beauty Liu Qiangdong, The ugliest in the family Liu Yifei."
Many people online have now added "Chen Jincheng, who has always been single" to their profile.
Moreover, as those people get older and become more low-key, the significance of Chen Jincheng's statement is gradually increasing.
Chen Jincheng had seen all sorts of situations, so he didn't care about these mere boos. He immediately said calmly, "Although I have no romantic relationship with these two beauties, I still want to introduce them to everyone."
"The woman in the sexy black outfit is Ximeng. She is an excellent fashion brand blogger. The sexy outfit she is wearing is her own creation. If you like it, you can place an order on her Douyin video."
"There is another beautiful woman named Long Ni. She is an excellent actress. If there are any opportunities for her from Daylight Entertainment or other friends in the industry, please let her try."
The reporters wrote down every single word Chen Jincheng said.
He was indeed trying to artificially generate buzz for the two beautiful women.
This made many actresses who were neither famous nor unknown look at Long Ni with envy.
Ximeng was already used to this kind of thing.
The boss has always been very good to them and has done countless things for their benefit; otherwise, they wouldn't have so many fans and wouldn't have earned so much money.
Like her, with her income from live streaming, events, bonuses, and commissions from clothing brands, she has over 1000 million yuan in savings after buying a house and a car.
For many women, this is already financial freedom, money they could never earn in their entire lives.
So, having once again basked in the limelight with her boss in this setting, all she could think about was how to repay him that evening.
The boss doesn't like her being with Yinyin.
Now that Yinyin isn't here, he can use Longni, who's right next to him, if he wants.
She then looked at Sister Hehe.
If...if...he wants something more exciting, that's not impossible.
This was the first time Long Ni had ever received such treatment.
She really didn't expect that Chen Jincheng would not only introduce her but also help her find opportunities. It seems that Mr. Chen really has an unusual relationship with her boss, otherwise why would he go to such lengths for her boss?
After Chen Jincheng gave the two girls a brief advertisement, the formal part of the event began, and the reporters started bombarding him with questions:
"Mr. Chen, there are rumors circulating online that you, iQiyi, and Tencent Video are sabotaging each other. What do you have to say about this?"
"Mr. Chen, why do you think so highly of 'All Is Well'?"
"Mr. Chen, how confident are you about the simultaneous release of 'All Is Well', 'Over the Sea I Come to You,' and 'My Biological Dad and My Stepdad'?"
"Mr. Chen..."
Clearly, these reporters are most concerned about the three dramas right now, and all their questions are about the three dramas.
Seeing this, Chan Kam-ching also took the microphone and said, "It seems that everyone's questions are similar, and they are all concerned about the two dramas 'All Is Well'. So I will give a unified answer: 'All Is Well' will definitely be the king of dramas."
That's a bit arrogant.
Everyone at Noon Sunshine was stunned, especially the director and lead actors like Guo Jingfei, who all stared in disbelief.
The show hasn't even aired yet. Even if they have confidence in it, they can't guarantee it will win the title of "Best Drama Series".
How come Chan Kam-ching has more confidence in this drama than his creative team?
Upon hearing this declaration, the reporters knew that explosive news was about to unfold, and they excitedly began asking questions:
"Mr. Chen Jincheng, why are you so confident?"
"Mr. Chen, aren't you worried that this drama won't meet your expectations?"
"Mr. Chen..."
Chen Jincheng didn't answer these questions, but instead replied again, "Everyone, stay tuned. Okay, that's enough of the questions. Their premiere is still going on."
After he finished speaking, he handed the microphone to the host and then led Ximeng and Longni off the stage.
The reporters clearly lost interest in what followed and started contacting the company to release news.
Chen Jincheng's words will become the biggest hot topic and point of conflict.
On the other side, Huang Zhen was also preparing for tonight's episode of "Bringing Dad to Study Abroad" on Tencent Penguin Pictures. After the TV station broadcasts it, they also want to release it online at midnight.
All of this needs to be prepared for.
Suddenly, an assistant rushed in and reported: "Mr. Huang, a lot of reporters have come outside. At the premiere of 'All Is Well,' Chen Jincheng publicly said that this drama would be the king of dramas. Now all the reporters have come here to want to know what our opinion is on this."
"King of Dramas? He's really arrogant." Huang Zhen scoffed and went out with his assistant, where they indeed saw the swarm of reporters.
As soon as he came out, the reporters bombarded him with questions.
So he also said to the reporters, "Fellow reporters, I won't say much else, I'll just say one thing: wait and see."
On the other hand, Lin Dong encountered the same thing at Aiqiyi.
Honestly, he never expected Chen Jincheng to be so arrogant.
Therefore, he bluntly said, "There is a 'King of Dramas' every year, but there has never been a modern urban drama that has won the title. It would be easier to say if it were a period drama set in a modern urban setting."
"To be precise, this kind of urban life drama does not have the foundation to become a drama king. Chen Jincheng has only a superficial understanding of the market and foundation of various film and television, yet he dares to spout nonsense here."
This was exactly what the reporters wanted to hear.
Therefore, the hot news article "Second Generation Star: Drama King, Ai Qiyi: Making Outrageous Remarks" quickly rose to the top of the trending topics list within just one hour.
This has made almost everyone even more eager to know the status of these three shows.
Everyone is now waiting for the release date.
Chen Jincheng, however, had already finished attending the banquet arranged by Noon Sunshine and returned to the hotel with Ximeng, Sister Hehe, and Long Ni.
He went straight back to his room.
Xi Meng looked around and, seeing that no one was there, went straight into his room.
"Aren't you going back to take a shower first?" Chen Jincheng asked jokingly.
"Together with you," Xi Meng said sweetly, pulling him inside.
Sister Hehe also returned to her own room, but she was staying in a suite at this 5-star hotel, and Long Ni was staying with her.
After taking a shower, she sat down at the vanity and started putting on makeup.
Seeing this, Long Ni tentatively asked, "Boss, are you going out again tonight?"
"You guessed it already," Sister Hehe teased. "Want to come along? He'd definitely be happy to accept a beauty like you, and you'd certainly be the leading lady."
“Ah…” Long Ni was at a loss for words.
She naturally guessed that her boss was going to see Chan Kam-ching, but was it appropriate for her to ask her artist if she wanted to accompany him to see a man?
Although Chen Jincheng is very handsome and the female lead is very alluring to her, this kind of thing...
"Think it over carefully!" Xi Meng smiled and pinched Long Ni's cheek. "I'm a very open-minded boss. If you're willing, I will definitely not let you suffer any losses. If you're not willing, I won't force you."
Long Ni stared blankly as her boss walked towards the door, feeling that something was wrong.
Even if a woman doesn't have a defined relationship with a man, she's still selfish in this respect, isn't she?
But how come her boss...
She couldn't help but ask, "Boss, why would you...?"
Hehe knew what she was going to ask, and said bluntly, "There's no way around it, he's too strong. I need someone to help me, otherwise he'll kill me. So, do you want to be my best friend?"
When Long Ni heard this answer, she was so surprised that her eyes widened.
She had considered many possibilities, but she never expected to receive such an answer.
Is it really possible for a man to kill a woman in this kind of situation?
It's not that people say people die from overwork...
While she was still in a daze, Sister Hehe had already gone out.
...
Inside the room, Chen Jincheng was comfortably leaning back on the sofa, enjoying Ximeng's services. He was gently stroking Ximeng's hair with one hand when he suddenly noticed a new task with a golden exclamation mark appearing in the game in his mind.
This made his eyes light up, and he immediately looked at the task.
"You're no longer just a simple internet celebrity, so you're planning to perform a very special, and very prestigious, show. We heard an international dance master has come to the city; go ask him to choreograph an interesting dance for you!"
Chen Jincheng was clearly surprised when he saw the task.
Are game missions this considerate these days?
He had agreed to perform at the Suzhou TV New Year's Eve Gala at the premiere and was thinking about what interesting program to perform when this opportunity came knocking on his door.
He immediately took on the task while enjoying Ximeng's services.
This kind of task of finding someone to ask for help is indeed another series of errand-running tasks.
It really took him a lot of time to complete; this international dance master has too many fuss-ups.
There was a knock on the door.
"Waaah..." Since Ximeng couldn't make a sound, she could only pat him to remind him that Sister Hehe had arrived.
The boss has already told her who she will be working with tonight.
"Tell her to wait and finish your task, or I'll be miserable," Chen Jincheng said as he submitted the task. The game notification sounded again:
[Congratulations on completing the task! International dance master Charleston has choreographed a very interesting dance for you; let's call it the Charleston Dance for now!]
[Charleston Dance: This dance was choreographed by the internationally renowned dance master Charleston and has special attribute effects: 1. This is a team dance. When you teach your team members to dance this dance, the fun factor increases by 100%, and the attention factor increases by 100%. 2. This is a team dance. When you lead your team members in dancing this dance, the joy factor increases by 100%, and the higher the enthusiasm of the team members for this dance, the higher the joy factor will be when you lead the dance.]
[Information regarding the Charleston dance has been sent, the copyright for the background music has been recorded, and the music has been distributed!]
Chen Jincheng was somewhat surprised when he saw this note.
With the information in his mind, a USB flash drive appeared in his hand.
He never expected it to be a world-famous dance scene, and the copyright notes also showed that this dance did not exist in this world.
This dance is not only famous in China, but also internationally popular, aside from the special historical reasons of its past.
Especially in Europe, this dance has become part of their social dance culture, and it even has its influence in many popular Western dances.
The key is that this dance is really fun and very joyful. Many celebrities have had a blast with this dance in their past lives. One singer even contributed a famous moment of this dance on a variety show because he danced it so badly.
Wouldn't this be perfect for dancing at Jiangsu TV's New Year's Eve Gala?
Moreover, he was also thinking about which girls he wanted to bring to the New Year's Eve gala to make an appearance.
Then bring everything.
Before the New Year's Eve party, you can have all the girls upload videos of themselves dancing the Charleston dance. Having those two attributes will definitely attract attention and generate a lot of buzz.
Then he'll bring the girls on stage. The more popular the girls are, the more fun it will be, and it'll blow up the Jiangsu TV New Year's Eve Gala.
I'm so excited just thinking about it.
In his excitement, his body also reached a state of heightened arousal, and he directly fed Ximeng a mouthful.
Xi Meng then got up and hurriedly went to the door to open it for Sister He He.
The door opened, and there stood Sister Hehe, dressed up in her finest attire.
Hehe looked at Ximeng's lips and teased, "So eager?"
Ximeng awkwardly wiped the corner of her mouth.
After closing the door, Sister Hehe also brought Ximeng inside, only to be shocked to see Chen Jincheng dancing a strange dance without any defense.
She couldn't help but tease, "Now that 'All Is Well,' 'Over the Sea I Come to You,' and 'My Biological Dad and Stepdad' have already been released, do you still have the mood to watch this?"
Chen Jincheng smiled and said, "What else can we do? On the first day, the ratings were not enough to determine a winner. With the current level of popularity, the number of people paying attention to these three dramas will be evenly matched. The winner will be determined by word of mouth later on."
However, one thing is certain: the promotion of "All Is Well" in its previous life was not very strong, so the first episode only had a 1.05 rating, and it later reached a level of over 2 thanks to word of mouth.
Moreover, the average number of views per episode on the internet reached 1.5 million. While it can't compare to "The Storm," it still surpasses "Joy of Life 1."
This is the first time a drama series about urban life has achieved this level of success.
To put it another way, the combined viewership of Fan Xian's two seasons, plus the novel's influence, barely surpassed 100 billion views on Douyin, which is about 30 billion more than Su Daqiang's.
Simply put, in terms of single-season TV dramas, Fan Xian is not even as good as Su Daqiang, a supporting character in "All Is Well," and he can't even compare to Gao Qiqiang's terrifying figure of over 350 billion in "The Storm."
Now, thanks to him, the popularity of "All Is Well" is much higher than in the previous life. It will be a hit from the start, and its performance will definitely be better than in the previous life.
As for "Take Dad to Study Abroad," the premiere ratings were very high, reaching 1.31. However, the ratings dropped to 0.93 the next day. As the female lead inexplicably fell in love with someone else and various bizarre character traits emerged, the show earned the nickname "Everyone is Su Daqiang" (a character known for his eccentric and eccentric personality). The ratings plummeted, and its Douban score was the lowest of all of 2019.
As for "My Biological Dad and My Stepdad", it also started off very well, after all, the main creative team was too strong, and it also broke 1.3. However, with the appearance of the scumbag father and the moral blackmail plot, the ratings were halved, and later it was only around 0.7, and even dropped below 0.5 at one point.
Although this show has a 3.7 rating on Douban, which is higher than "Over the Sea I Come to You," it's a pity that despite the high score, it was still considered by critics to be the worst show of 2019, the most unbelievable piece of crap.
The reason is simple: the creative team behind this show is truly terrifying.
It was precisely because of this lineup that it was so deceptive that U-Cool was completely fooled.
Therefore, for Chen Jincheng, the first day's ratings are not a concern at all. If these two dramas could break 1.3 on their premiere in the previous life, they can definitely do it in this life as well. Moreover, with this level of popularity, the premiere ratings of these two dramas may even be higher than in the previous life.
As for online viewership, these two dramas were previously on Uku, so they are not relevant.
However, now that all three dramas have been released and many people are watching them, word-of-mouth should have already begun to spread.
Indeed, many people are paying attention to these three dramas, especially film and television review bloggers and short video editing bloggers, who watched them as soon as they were released.
Zhang Keke is a prime example. With the release of Douyin's video editing function, she seized the opportunity to become a video editing blogger. Because of her humorous commentary and unique insights, she has accumulated 300 million followers.
With all three dramas so popular online right now, she naturally wanted to edit her review as soon as possible.
The first show she watched was "All Is Well" because it was a drama starring Chan Kam-Ching.
Chen Jin is so handsome.
She watched it as soon as it started playing on TV.
To be honest, the first episode of "All Is Well" was a bit bland at the beginning; it was just about the mother dying and the children returning home, without any major highlights.
She almost thought that Chan Kam-ching's taste in film and television was really bad.
It started off really uneventfully.
But when Guo Jingfei appeared, things seemed to change dramatically, and the conflict immediately came to the fore, grabbing everyone's attention, especially when the troublemaker Su Daqiang appeared.
By the second episode, as a girl, she was completely suffocated by the sexist attitude towards boys, and she was also furious at Su Mingcheng's mama's boy and freeloading personality. During the argument at the cemetery, I really wanted to slap him on behalf of the female lead.
I can completely empathize with the female lead Su Mingyu's actions.
Seriously, her emotions were stirred up, and the crucial point is that the second episode had just ended at that moment.
Why did it have to stop at this time?
She was speechless and wanted to curse.
This also made her realize that the show was going to be a hit.
Although she was shameless at the crucial moment, making people want to send her razor blades, there was nothing she could do but watch the other two dramas and wait for them to be updated on the two websites before watching them.
First, she watched "Bringing Dad to Study Abroad" for a while and was speechless. The female lead and her father met a woman at the airport. The female lead was unaware of this and was shocked to find out that the woman was her stepmother when they arrived at the hotel where her boss was staying abroad.
The worst part is that her father secretly sneaked home, leaving her to her stepmother to handle the matter of studying abroad.
A strong sense of melodrama hits you, with a car accident, the tour guide getting killed off—a whole series of melodramatic events that seem like they could have been staged.
She eventually gave up hope on the show.
Go see "The Departed Father and Stepfather".
Okay, he had a cerebral hemorrhage from the very beginning.
The male protagonist abandons his wife, and she even gives him all her money, telling him to be frugal. Is that right?
If you deeply love this man, that's fine, but you remarry in the blink of an eye.
OMG!
The key issue is that seeing her biological father come back and use moral blackmail to force her to acknowledge him as her father caused her to suffer a stroke and require emergency medical attention.
My worldview has been completely shattered.
After watching all three dramas, she immediately edited and commented on them, with the title "Three dramas, one of which makes me want to watch the next episode, and two others."
Of the three dramas, she was certain that "All Is Well" would be a hit. As for the other two, she could still force herself to watch "Over the Sea I Come to You," but she couldn't even bear to watch "My Biological Dad and Stepdad."
At this time, not only Zhang Keke, but many people in this circle were doing the same thing, except that some of them watched "Bringing Dad to Study Abroad" first, while others watched "My Biological Dad and Stepdad" first.
After watching all three shows, many people realized that Chen Jincheng's claim that he deliberately tricked two film and television platforms into buying these two shows might actually be true.
The key point is that the people on these two film and television platforms had no idea about it and thought they had tricked Chen Jincheng.
That's when things got awkward.
Time passed quickly, and the next day arrived soon. When Chen Jincheng woke up, the sun was already high in the sky, and he found that the two girls were already awake.
Hehe immediately grabbed her phone to check the news online and exclaimed in surprise: "Chen Jincheng, the ratings for 'All Is Well' have broken 1.4!"
In this day and age, a TV series that can break 1% is considered a good show, and "All Is Well" is clearly a good show.
But soon, her expression changed slightly: "But 'Take Dad to Study Abroad' is already 1.51, and 'My Biological Dad and Stepdad' is already 1.47."
"How could this happen?" Xi Meng was also alarmed when she heard the news.
This doesn't mean that the show the boss bought will lose to the other two.
Chen Jincheng wasn't in a hurry when he heard this. Just as he expected, it was a bit higher than in his previous life. Some people might think it wasn't much higher, but in his previous life, these three dramas weren't broadcast together.
Now they play together, completely separated.
Once word-of-mouth spreads, the ratings of the other two dramas, 1.51 and 1.47, will start to drop, and then viewers will flock to "All Is Well".
Therefore, even if the popularity drops later, it's no problem for "All Is Well" to break 2.
On the other side, Huang Zhen also arrived at the company early in the morning. As soon as he got to the office, he called his assistant to report on the ratings of "Bringing Dad to Study Abroad".
When he heard the rating of 1.51, his face was full of smiles: "This show did not disappoint me. With such a premiere, I believe it will have no problem breaking 2 later. What about 'All Is Well'?"
The assistant immediately reported, "Only 1.41!"
Huang Zhen then asked, "What about the online viewership?"
The assistant reported: "Our first episode averaged 8000 million views, while Second Star Films only got 4000 million."
Huang Zhen couldn't contain his smugness any longer: "Less than half, most of them are just there for the fun of it, right? Haha, Chen Jincheng calls himself the King of Dramas, but we are the real King of Dramas. Let's see how much face he'll lose this time."
Just then, the head of the public relations department rushed in: "Boss, quickly check the online discussions, there's a problem with our show."
Huang Zhen frowned and asked, "The data for the drama we bought is currently the best among the three dramas. It can definitely compete for the title of best drama this year. What kind of problems could arise?"
The public relations manager immediately explained: "The word-of-mouth is bad. Now those film critics and film editing bloggers are saying that our show is melodramatic and are pessimistic about it."
"What? How could this be? Our show clearly had the best data." Huang Zhen stood up in shock, his face showing astonishment.
