Chapter 280 The new drama was snapped up by all major platforms
These two shots, one before and one after, can be said to have completely overturned everyone's impression of Wu Mu's acting skills.
Is this still the Wu Mu who tried so hard to act awkwardly?
Has he really evolved?
Not only has his singing become better, but his acting skills have also exploded?
No, is this reasonable?
"I've heard that people can be reborn after experiencing major setbacks, but I didn't expect that a broken heart can also do that. I want to find his sponsor to break up with him."
"You are really good at thinking. The beads on your abacus are about to fall on my face. How can his sponsor like you?"
Fu Wenchuan heard the two self-media bloggers behind him whispering again.
However, he deeply agreed with what they said.
Comparing Wu Mu's performance in previous movies and TV series with the footage just now, he also felt that this person was like being reborn after experiencing a broken heart.
These two extremely stunning shots were obviously deliberately left to the end by the production team. After these two shots, the first episode ended.
Fu Wenchuan secretly gave this first episode a score in his heart.
It was already rated eight points before, and the surprise at the end was so eye-catching that it directly raised the sensory experience of the entire episode, making it worthy of a nine point rating.
You definitely can’t just watch one episode at a drama viewing party. After the first episode was aired, Yang Rongfa gave everyone a short break, allowing them to go to the toilet or get up and get some fresh air.
However, everyone was reluctant to take a break at this time. They were all thinking about what Wu Mu's next shot would be like.
Can it still maintain the same level?
Soon the second episode will be released, and then the third and fourth episodes.
Astonishing!
After Fu Wenchuan read it, his mind was filled with this thought.
It completely overturned his impression of Wu Mu's acting skills.
There is no sense of awkward acting as before. He acts naturally and naturally in the most normal scenes. And he is even more spiritual in some key shots. He can always give you some amazing and eye-opening performances.
This kind of performance not only holds the crew back, but it completely supports the crew and becomes a strong support.
Fu Wenchuan has already seen that Wu Mu does not have many roles in the play, but his role is very important.
He has to provide important support to the heroine and his father Wang An's role.
People have to feel that losing him was a particularly heavy blow to Wang An and Lin Mo, so heavy that they would be trapped in that season for eighteen years and unable to get out.
And Wu Mu completed this task perfectly.
Fu Wenchuan put himself in their shoes and thought, if he had a son like this, or a lover like this who died a tragic death, he would probably never forget it and would never be able to get over it.
Especially the relationship between him and Sun Yueqing, which is so outstanding.
Sun Yueqing's eyes and little movements in the play are just like she is truly in love with such a person.
The acting is so realistic.
Then after Wu Mu jumped into the river and died, everyone could suddenly empathize with Sun Yueqing's expression of utter despair at that time.
Well, you can get a feel for the relationship between Wu Mu and Sun Yueqing by listening to the complaints of the two self-media bloggers behind them.
"Fuck, why do I suddenly find that Wu Mu and Sun Yueqing are such a good match? They are such a perfect couple."
"Yes, it's obviously a crime drama, but the interactions and atmosphere between the two of them reminded me of a sweet romance drama! They are still the same ones in Star Lovers."
"Oh no, I even made a video to complain about their performance in Star Lovers. When this show is aired, the audience will tag me like crazy and say I was slapped in the face. I will delete that video when I get home!"
"Wu Mu's performance is quite good. His shots and Wang Ren's other shots have completely different senses. One is a crime reality drama, and the other is a beautiful romance. But it is not abrupt at all. On the contrary, it can make his death more serious, which directly raises the overall sense of the film."
The entire film was not aired, only about five or six episodes were aired, but the roughly complete plot thread was cut out, and the ending was also kept secret.
However, based on the scenes he saw, Fu Wenchuan was already certain in his heart that this film would definitely leave a significant name in the domestic drama industry.
It will definitely be applauded, but whether it will be a box office success or not is unclear.
As soon as Fu Wenchuan saw the lights in the screening room in front of him come on, he couldn't wait to stand up and surround Yang Rongfa's film producers. He felt that no matter whether the audience liked the movie or not, the movie would definitely sell well.
After the film screening, Fu Wenchuan was inspired and wrote a long article that evening. He couldn't wait to have it published in the next issue of his magazine and posted it directly on his personal social media account.
Well, the long article also used the portrait of Wu Mu in the play as the cover picture.
This is the promotional poster released by Yang Rongfa and others after the film screening.
The one where Wu Mu is sitting in the shadows with his head lowered.
The one who didn’t raise his head probably wanted to keep the surprise until the official broadcast.
But it is bright enough.
""Wang Ren's new drama screening: a surprise about Wu Mu""
Fu Wenchuan directly used the word "surprise" in the title.
“Recently, the first cut of a new drama by the well-known domestic director Wang Ren was completed, and a screening was held. I was invited to attend and was able to see Director Wang’s new work after his transformation.
There are many things to talk about Director Wang's new series, including the painful transition after three consecutive losses for his films, the stubborn decision to choose the theme of realistic crime, the troubled preparation process for the series, the anticipation for filming, and the fear of failure. There are too many things worth talking about.
In fact, before the screening, I also had these thoughts in mind and conducted a brief interview with Director Wang.
But after the screening, these are still worth talking about, but now I want to share with you the deepest impression in my mind after watching the film, the biggest surprise in the five hours - the subversive acting of actor Wu Mu.
Wu Mu, acting?
When many people see this line of words, a question mark will probably pop up in their minds.
This was also what I thought before watching the movie. I am actually very familiar with the actor Wu Mu. Friends who have followed my articles may still remember an article I posted last year, criticizing idol stars for not getting involved in the acting industry without any professional ability.
Among them, Wu Mu is the focus of criticism in my article.
So even though Wu Mu has proven himself in many fields this year, including the singing circle, variety show circle, and celebrity circle, and he has subverted many people's cognition in all aspects, I still don't have any expectations for his acting skills.
It wasn’t until the screening ended that I suddenly realized that the acting school in the industry might have to be given a new name in the future.
Due to the confidentiality agreement, I cannot reveal the details of the series, I can only give you a general idea.
Wu Mu plays Cui Fu's son and Sun Yueqing's lover in the play.
He is facing off against two major acting teams, one of whom is a double winner of the Hong Kong Film and Golden Horse Awards, and there are also two veteran actors, Zhao Qihui and Wu Jing, in the drama. Before watching the film, I was actually mentally prepared that his acting skills would be a weakness.
But the facts surprised me greatly. Wu Mu was not a shortcoming. In terms of sensory perception, his performance was actually more memorable than that of others.
After the whole screening, I found myself not as impressed by Cui Fu's acting skills as by his. I even felt that the performances of these veteran actors seemed a bit formulaic and dull compared to his performance.
In fact, it’s not that Cui Fu and the others are dull, but that Wu Mu seems too spiritual. Many of his shots reveal an amazing spirituality. If he doesn’t act it out, you simply can’t imagine that this scene can be performed like this.
His old partner, the young actress Sun Yueqing, who has always been known for her acting skills, actually doesn't seem so good in comparison with him.
In summary.
Personally, I think Wu Mu’s acting will be the biggest surprise in Wang Ren’s new film.”
Fu Wenchuan's long article of two to three thousand words immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Those who don’t know Wu Mu or are not familiar with Wu Mu will remember the name Wu Mu and look forward to the airing of subsequent episodes.
Know Wu Mu, followers who are familiar with Wu Mu
"?"
"Did you receive the money?"
"How much did Wang Ren and the others pay for writing this? Why are you bragging to them like this?"
"Fuck, someone is praising Wu Gou's acting skills again, but Wu Gou himself has already refuted the rumor."
"I think I understand. Just like the previous movie promoting weight loss, Wang Ren and his team wanted to use Wu Mu's acting as a highlight. I guess Wu Gou's acting has really improved a bit, but he made Cui Fu and the others look dull. You know how to use them as a foil."
"Although this photo of Wu Gou seems to be somewhat interesting, it's not surprising at all!"
This news is too stupid. If you exaggerate a little less, for example, to the level of a professional student, then people might believe it.
You are so good that you are directly compared with the double best actor winners of the Golden Horse and Golden Image Awards.
It's obvious that these people are water army who received fees for writing.
Can't believe it at all.
Few people believe it. Even if Wu Gou really starts to "subvert" again, we have to see his real performance.
How can they believe it just because you say so? You can't expect them to believe it if you say that Wu Gou is going to become a superman!
So even though more news about movie viewings came out online, including from super Vs with millions of fans, everyone felt that the series might be about to start marketing.
After all, those who know about it know that the rough cut is out, and the next step is to find a platform to sell the film. If you don’t hype it up in this case, how can any platform be interested in buying it?
Everyone was thinking this, and before things could get any further, a piece of heavy news popped up:
Penguin Video bought Wang Ren’s new drama for a huge price of million.
Big Vs may deceive people, but money won’t.
What the hell!
The content director in charge of purchasing at the Penguin Video platform actually wanted to let the news ferment a little more and the situation become clearer before making the purchase.
But the situation didn't even give him time to consider.
There are so many competitors!
Because Wu Mu's new album is so popular, major online video platforms have already set their sights on the drama of the same name.
The album of the same name is expected to reach sales of eight or nine million. As long as a portion of this popularity is maintained, it will be enough to ensure the drama has a guaranteed popularity.
The series hasn't even aired yet and there hasn't been much promotion, but it's guaranteed that tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of viewers already know the name of this drama.
This is enough to attract enough traffic as long as some of them are curious about what the eponymous drama of this album is like.
What's more, after watching the film, everyone found that the quality of this film was quite high.
Wang Ren's transition to TV series did not fail to adapt well and he produced a series of quite high quality. Judging from the quality, everyone can see that this film may be well received.
Of course, the most critical factor that influences everyone's decision is actually Wu Mu's performance in the play.
You acted so amazingly, you really must have evolved, right?
With such a strong contrast to his previous acting skills and such an explosive topic, everyone can already imagine in their minds that after this drama is really broadcast, Wu Mu’s acting skills will be all over the screen and become a hot topic.
How many users will be attracted to become members by then?
So everyone is competing fiercely.
Not to mention the two old rivals iQiyi and Youku Tudou, even TikTok and Bilibili, two platforms that have nothing to do with each other, have come to join in the fun!
The price for the exclusive broadcast of this drama on the online platform was raised to 300 million right at the beginning!
Then there was a fierce tussle, with everyone raising the price frantically until the price reached 400 million, when things finally froze.
Four hundred million is already a very high price, and the other companies probably have the same idea as them, to wait and see, until things develop and the situation becomes clearer before making the next offer.
But at this time, the people from Penguin Video got a new piece of gossip.
Netflix, also known as the Netflix platform, actually came to ask for the price.
There are even rumors that the team was led by a senior executive of their platform who was born in South Korea. He said that he felt their drama had great potential in the Japanese and Korean markets.
That’s fucking outrageous!
What potential does a drama about crime in China in the 1970s and 1980s have in Japan and South Korea?
Do you understand?
Of course, the content director of the Penguin platform also understands that this is most likely aimed at Wu Mu.
Judging from Wu Mu's performance in the drama, there may indeed be a large market for it in Japan, not to mention Korea.
Although he didn't understand how Wu Mu, who had never filmed a show abroad, attracted the attention of Netflix and Korean executives.
Just relying on the popularity of a few episodes of Legendary Voice?
I can only say that it is a bit exaggerated.
Is having a handsome face such an advantage?
However, Netflix is a truly wealthy opponent, and the Penguin platform was finally worried that things would get more complicated, so it quickly contacted Yang Rongfa and others, and directly raised the price by 50 million in one go, finalizing the final ownership of the show.
“I can only hope that this drama can be a pleasant surprise like Wu Mu’s album.”
The director thought to himself.
Well, one of the major reasons why he made this purchase decision was Wu Mu’s performance on the Penguin Music platform.
It’s so profitable!
The initial price was less than 10 million yuan more than that of several other platforms, but I ended up making a fortune!
Sales volume reached million in the first week of its launch!
How many users from the other two platforms must have been attracted by this? How much money of Wu Mu fans must have been sucked away in advance!
million units sold, with sales of over 120 million!
The 30% share from the platform alone is enough to double the copyright fee!
