Late at night, the phones of several media offices were ringing non-stop. The collision between "The Legend of White Snake" and "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" tonight is destined to become the headlines tomorrow.

Editors-in-chief of many media and newspaper offices, even after ten o'clock, are still waiting by the phone, waiting for the latest news.

Sure enough, the news they received did not disappoint them.

I believe that after it is published tomorrow, it will once again attract people's attention.

Time seems to be moving very slowly tonight, but it will pass no matter how slow it is.

It’s 22 o’clock.

Whether it is Phoenix TV's "The Legend of White Snake" or National TV's "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", they have all finished broadcasting and have begun to broadcast other programs.

Not long after, the ratings statistics of these two TV series came out.

Statistics spread rapidly.

Those who were interested also got the ratings statistics immediately. When they saw it, everyone was surprised, and then they felt mixed emotions in their hearts.

This time, Phoenix TV is going to show its face.

And some people are going to be embarrassed.

Tonight, after both TV series are aired.

"The Legend of White Snake" aired for three consecutive episodes, with the highest ratings of 7.6%!

"Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" aired for two consecutive episodes, with the highest ratings of 8.8%!

No one thought that "The Legend of White Snake", which had been dismissed by most people before, could actually achieve such results under the strong pressure of the national television station and the two major film giants.

All of a sudden, the national television station and the two giants were cornered.

In fact, when the ratings statistics come out, the influence will not stop there.

Yang Ming also received the news immediately, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It is impossible to say that he was not nervous at all before.

But as the soul of Oriental DreamWorks, he must show confidence. Even if the situation is unfavorable, he must look confident in front of others.

Now that the news came, he felt relieved.

I really didn’t expect that what I thought was just an easy thing to boost ratings would turn into the weird and turbulent situation it has now.

Who would have thought that Zhao Jianfeng would be so determined and create such a big situation against him.

It almost caused "The Legend of White Snake", a classic from the previous life, to fail in this world.

If this classic work, which was popular all over the country in his previous life and left beautiful memories in the hearts of countless Chinese people of that era, is really ruined by him in this life, then he will never be able to redeem himself.

Fortunately, now that the ratings have come out, it seems that the previous arrangement between him and Wu Yuanzhi worked.

And judging from random checks, people prefer White Snake to Butterfly Lovers.

This gave Yang Ming greater confidence to implement the next plan.

The next day.

Yang Ming got up early in the morning and went to the restaurant to have dinner. Every crew member he met had happy faces and wanted to congratulate him!

He smiled and nodded in response.

It seems that everyone has read today's newspapers or already knows about it through the Internet.

As soon as he walked into the restaurant, he saw Hua Xiaoyue waving to him, and sitting next to her was Xiao Li, who played Zhu Yingtai's mother in the play!

"Good morning, Director Yang!" Xiao Li said hello when she saw Yang Ming coming over and sitting down.

"Good morning, Sister Xiao!" Yang Ming also responded.

Although the preparation time for "Butterfly Lovers" was short, every role in the play was not chosen randomly.

Lao Chai had a good grasp of Yang Ming's thoughts. After learning Yang Ming's request, he found basically all talented actors!

Although Xiao Li has never won a Best Actress award, she is definitely a powerful figure in the film industry.

Although he is nearly middle-aged, with his well-maintained appearance that is not inferior to that of young actors and his superb acting skills, he has never lacked script invitations. This time, he was able to make the decision to join "Butterfly Lovers" in such a short period of time.

In addition to the good personal relationship between Lao Chai and Xiao Li, there is also the attraction of the script "Butterfly Lovers" to her.

Maybe Zhu's mother was just a supporting role, but she felt that there was a lot of room for performance, so she agreed to Lao Chai to take the role.

When Xiao Li heard Yang Ming's words, although she knew it was a courtesy, she was still very happy. She smiled and said to Yang Ming: "Director Yang, you have pushed the national TV station hard this time!"

Yang Ming heard the schadenfreude in the other party's tone, picked up a small steamed bun with chopsticks, and instead of answering the other party's words directly, asked: "What? Sister Xiao, you also have a problem with the national TV station?"

"I'm from the film industry and haven't had much contact with national television, but I used to be a contracted actor with Zhonghuang Entertainment!" Xiao Li said lightly.

When Yang Ming heard this, he immediately thought of the rumors that Zhonghuang Entertainment had a domineering style in the circle, and couldn't help but nodded to express his understanding.

Before he could speak, Hua Xiaoyue next to him handed a newspaper to Yang Ming.

"Yang Ming, look, this newspaper has praised you to the sky. Tell me, how much money did Liu Xinsheng spend to let this newspaper praise you so much!"

Yang Ming, who was drinking porridge, almost spat out a mouthful when he heard this. He glared at Hua Xiaoyue angrily, and then glanced at the newspaper.

A big title above.

"With one hand holding the sky, the talented director Yang Ming has made the three giants disgraced!"

Seeing this title, Yang Ming couldn't help grinning, not knowing what to say!

This newspaper went a little too far.

But he wasn't sure if it was Liu Xinsheng's trick.

Today's Oriental DreamWorks is not the DreamWorks of 5 years ago. It allowed others to bully it, had no mouthpiece of its own, and allowed others to make irresponsible remarks.

To this day, there is no mention of Phoenix TV and Guangdong Daily, which Yang Ming directly controls!

The mere fact that Oriental DreamWorks deliberately maintains good relationships with the media is enough to prevent the outside world from casually pouring dirty water on Oriental DreamWorks and its artists.

And the outside world doesn't know it at all.

Yang Ming secretly acquired some shares of several media companies through capital. Although he is not a major shareholder and does not have absolute controlling rights, it is easy for these media companies to slightly favor their shareholders when reporting news.

He finished his breakfast quickly and then asked Lao Chai to inform the crew to get ready to start filming today's scene.

Now that "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" has been aired, he has to hurry up to film "Butterfly Lovers".

Otherwise it will be no fun if you waste time.

If nothing goes wrong, it is estimated that this drama will be announced as finished and will enter post-production in a few days. It can be said to be extremely fast!

I believe that Zhao Jianfeng and Bai Chongshi would not have expected that he would shoot "Butterfly Lovers" in such a short period of time. What they wanted was to give the other party a surprise and catch them off guard.

In fact, such a raid is almost impossible in the film industry.

After all, a movie requires tedious preparations from project establishment to official start of filming to completion and final release.

The publicity aspect alone requires detailed planning.

That is to say, only a director like Yang Ming, whose boss has several identities, can be so willful. No other director would make such a decision.

When Lao Chai was preparing for the production of "Butterfly Lovers", Yang Ming called Li Dongyang and asked Donghai Cinema to reserve a schedule for "Butterfly Lovers".

We can negotiate with as many other theater chains as we can.

Coupled with the Yiyuan theater chain, even if there are no other theater chains, he believes that the box office of "Butterfly Lovers" will recoup the filming cost, and there will not be too much pressure.

As for publicity.

With "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" produced by Victory Pictures and Zhonghuang Entertainment, does Yang Ming still need to hype up the topic of Liang Shanbo too much?

Obviously not needed!

Therefore, for Yang Ming, there is only one request!

Be fast!

After a while, Yang Ming took the crew members to the set, and the hotel became quiet again.

But the outside world is completely agitated because of the new news reports released by several media today.

Once again, many celebrities expressed their opinions in various public situations!

Yesterday, two TV series "The Legend of White Snake" and "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" premiered.

7.6%

8.8%

This data is the ratings of two TV series respectively!

If we only look at it from the surface, "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" is undoubtedly the winner, while "The Legend of White Snake" is the loser!

However, as the winner, whether it is national television, Victory Pictures and Zhonghuang Entertainment, they are extremely low-key today. No one from these three giants has expressed any opinions in public. It is as if everyone has disappeared overnight.

Or they may become mute and unable to speak.

However, people from Oriental DreamWorks and Phoenix TV are very high-profile, using various media to increase their presence and continue to promote the TV series "The Legend of White Snake" crazily.

Everyone in the entertainment industry knows what's going on.
