Superstars In Parallel Time and Space

"Then it's early November." Lu Fang said: "It just so happens that these days are relatively free, and there are no movies released."

"A TV series will be released on the 8th. It is not a small production. Avoiding it a few days in advance should stabilize some viewers."

"Number 8? What drama will be released?" Chen Mubai asked.

"Speaking of which, I have some fate with you. The lead actor in that drama is Xu Fei. When you filmed "Struggle", you invited her. Later, she was still considering it, so you replaced it with Shang Ran." Lu Let's talk.

"Later, she also talked about it in front of the media, a bit insinuating that you were not big enough and didn't give her time to think about it."

"You definitely don't pay attention to these things, but your fans scolded you back for you. After all, you haven't responded after waiting for a few days. Fans know about this, and she probably feels uncomfortable psychologically."

"I see." Chen Mubai nodded.

He really didn't know about this matter. After finding an actor, he immediately went to film a drama. How could he have time to pay attention to these things?

He really didn't know about these news, but even if he knew, he wouldn't respond. Why would this kind of person care about her?

"This is also an urban drama, so the two of you are friends." Lu Fang said with a smile.

"Then this is our biggest competitor recently?" Chen Mubai said.

The two dramas were released within a few days of each other, and since they are both urban dramas, they have similar audiences, so they are naturally competitors.

If it's a costume drama or something, it's better because the audience is different.

After all, people who like to watch cities and costume dramas are not the same kind of people. Even if they have influence, they are not that big.

Unlike the fierce competition of the same type, the audience overlap is very high.

When the last "Struggle" was released, I encountered urban criminal investigation dramas. Although they were both urban dramas, the genres were still different. That drama focused on solving crimes and suspense, and was far less threatening than this drama.

It is indeed a bit difficult for both dramas to meet urban opponents when they are released!

"I'll go check out the news about that drama." After Chen Mubai finished speaking, he began to search for news related to the drama "Our Time".

"Released on 118, urban life drama, starring Xu Fei and Yuen Long"

Chen Mubai looked at the news related to this drama, and basically had all the information.

The director and cast are not bad, and the category is the same, it is indeed a formidable enemy!

The reason why Chen Mubai checked the relevant news of this drama was to know more about the opponent. After all, this is a strong opponent, and it is also the opponent they need to face directly.

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle.

Two TV dramas with similar schedules are in the same category, so there is bound to be serious competition. Therefore, we must pay more attention to publicity in order to win as many viewers as possible.

"The producer, Starway Entertainment!?" After seeing this message, Chen Mubai was taken aback.

"Is this drama invested and filmed by Starway Entertainment?"

Chen Mubai approached Lu Fang and asked, "Brother Lu, Starway Entertainment invested in the drama "Our Time"?"

"Ah?" Lu Fang was also surprised: "I really haven't noticed this, let me see!"

Later, he saw that it was indeed produced by Starway Entertainment, no wonder the male number one in it was the star of Starway Entertainment.

Then this drama is Starway Entertainment's drama!

Now not only are the two dramas of the same type, but they are also competing in the same schedule, and now even the investors behind both parties are enemies!

Both the producer and distribution company are Starway Entertainment. This drama will be broadcast on Beijing North Satellite TV on the 118th. This is a TV series co-produced by Beijing North TV and Starway Entertainment.

Therefore, when Jingbei Satellite TV came to participate in the screening of new dramas, although they had the idea of ​​buying, they were not very strong.

Because their TV station has a drama of this type, and the production lineup is not bad!

On the one hand, they came here to learn about the quality of the drama, and on the other hand, they thought that if the price was low, they could buy it, and the two dramas would be released on a staggered time.

Originally, after the purchase of the TV series is completed, the broadcast time is decided after discussion between the two parties, which is not a problem.

However, the price was too much beyond their expectations, so they simply gave up.

"Brother Lu, they've already announced the release date, and they've been promoting it for a few days, so they probably won't be withdrawn. I want to go head-to-head with them and compete at the same time!" Chen Mubai said calmly.

His tone was very flat, without any fluctuations, as if he couldn't see any emotional expression.

However, his attitude shows the change of mood, which has always been the case with all the things he has done with Starway Entertainment.

As long as it is related to Xingcheng, they will collide with each other.

From the time when she debuted, she chose Starway Entertainment's contestants as opponents. In "The God of Songs", she also targeted Shen Meng. She would not admit defeat because she was the champion of the previous year and won the Golden Melody Award for Best Female Singer. Instead, she chose face to face.

This is his attitude.

For everything about Starway Entertainment, he will do everything in his power to take revenge on the other party!

But no one said that he will take revenge, but what Starway Entertainment did to him did arouse public outrage, which is what it should be.

Anyone who doesn't want to avenge himself, unless he doesn't have that ability, will make a choice like Chen Mubai's.

Of course, Chen Mubai himself is not absolutely sure of victory, but he is willing to fight. It was like this on the stage back then, and it is still like this now!

The release time of "The Era of Naked Marriage" has not been confirmed yet, theoretically it can be released at any time.

It's just that if we fight like this, it may be a lose-lose ending, and both parties will definitely be affected.

"Okay, let's do as you said, let's pay close attention to publicity in the past few days, and you can negotiate with Nansheng TV Station." Lu Fang nodded.

He agreed to Chen Mubai's request.

He has no reason to disagree. The hatred between Chen Mubai and Starway Entertainment is irresolvable. As long as the two parties are in the entertainment industry, there will always be collisions.

When this matter ends, it means that one of the parties has withdrawn from the entertainment circle, and no one will guard against the other.

There are often unfavorable news about Mubai Entertainment and Chen Mubai on the Internet, many of which are caused by Starway Entertainment's private actions, and everyone knows this matter well.

It doesn't do much, but it's disgusting.

For those who like Chen Mubai, knowing that these are false, but it can confuse some passerby fans and make people have a bad first impression of Chen Mubai, which is somewhat affected.

"It won't be long, you go to sign a contract with Nansheng TV Station first, and then negotiate this matter." Lu Fang said.

Although this drama is produced by Mubai Entertainment, it is not their decision to release it, and they still need to discuss with the other party.

"Okay, I'll call them first, and after Yaoyao's song comes out, I'll finish editing things before leaving." Chen Mubai said.

Mubai Entertainment is preparing for the simultaneous release on the 118th, and is already preparing for the publicity.

However, these news have not been released yet. After all, it needs to be confirmed to ensure a specific broadcast date before it will be widely publicized.

Chen Mubai had notified Yao Yongbo of this matter in advance, and Yao Yongbo knew the seriousness of the matter and immediately reported it to his superiors.

After all, facing toughness directly will indeed affect the show very much. Once you lose to the opponent in the first confrontation, it will be difficult to get back up later.

Because "Our Times" has already announced in advance that it will be aired on the 118th, and if they announce that "The Era of Naked Marriage" will be broadcast on the 8th, it means that Southern Provincial Satellite TV is ready to compete in the ring Compete!

If they lose, the next day's entertainment news can be predicted that "The Era of Naked Marriage" is not as good as "Our Era", the ratings are crushed, or other news.

In short, for the sake of traffic, everyone will exaggerate.

And the loser will definitely become a stepping stone for the winner. Once a large area of ​​press releases is full of this kind of news, others will define "The Era of Naked Marriage" as a loser, and they will naturally read the other party's work , has a great impact on subsequent ratings.

"Leader, what should we do?" Yao Yongbo asked.

The next day, Yao Yongbo received a call from Chen Mubai and found out about it.

Although his tone didn't change much, his expression was still a little anxious.

This sudden encounter with such a thing, he could not have expected it!

If he disagrees, it will definitely make Mubai Entertainment unhappy, and he may even not cooperate with them. After all, the two parties only reached an agreement verbally, and the specific contract has not been signed yet!

The key thing is that they can't persuade them, because the reasons given by the other party make them unable to refuse.

The entanglement between Starway Entertainment and Chen Mubai was well known in the industry, and it was an irresolvable contradiction.

The reason why Chen Mubai has this attitude is also because the opponent is Starway Entertainment.

The leader's expression is also very serious, and he is doing ideological struggle.

"What do you think?" Suddenly, the leader asked helplessly.

He didn't want to give up "The Era of Naked Marriage", otherwise he wouldn't be so entangled.

In particular, Yao Yongbo came back and told him that the quality of this drama exceeded their expectations. Coupled with the influence of the song and the two leading actors, this drama may not be much worse than "Struggle".

"I" Yao Yongbo didn't know what to say.

He really couldn't open his mouth about this matter. Once he said it, if the ending was wrong, he would take the blame.

Seeing Yao Yongbo's hesitant expression, the leader directly said, "Go ahead, I want to hear your real thoughts on this drama."

Yao Yongbo hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "I think this drama is good!"

"The quality is really not bad. Everyone watching the drama has this idea. The competition is quite fierce."

"The main reason is that the cast is not good, so everyone thinks the price is a bit inflated. They think that Chen Mubai and Tao Yaoyao have limited influence and are not as popular as those well-known actors. This show is all newcomers, so they dare not bet on it. !"

"Actually, if this drama is aired normally, I believe that even if the ratings are not high at the first broadcast, it will get higher and higher later on. The suspense and storyline are very good, and the song's evaluation is not bad. There is still a possibility of explosion."

The success of "Struggle" is not only a good story, but also the promotion of other well-known actors has a great effect. Those people have appeared in many works and have a certain amount of fan support, so the premiere is not bad.

In addition, the story is good, and the follow-up ratings have risen steadily. It is also because of the ratings on the first day and the follow-up quality and word-of-mouth that the show has been steadily rising.

But the situation faced by "Naked Marriage Age" is different from that of "Struggle", and in all aspects it is not as good as the scene when "Struggle" was released.

Formidable opponents (of the same type), there are no well-known actors to star in, no strong call, and some can only build momentum on the leading role and publicity.

"Are you very optimistic about this drama?" The leader asked.

Yao Yongbo nodded, anyway, he had already said it, so it was not too late to nod.

The leader fell into thinking again.

He asked Yao Yongbo's attitude again because Yao Yongbo was the only person who had watched the show, and his attitude was of great reference value.

He was also the one who discovered "Struggle" at the beginning, so his vision is still somewhat unique.

"Okay, I agree with Mubai Entertainment's plan!" The leader made a final decision.

They will fight again this time!

"Huh!?" Yao Yongbo looked at the leader in surprise, he did not expect that he really made this decision.

To be honest, he was very surprised. After all, TV stations generally focus on stability, and rarely do such radical behaviors.

Although he praised "The Era of Naked Marriage" just now, in his heart he believed that the leader would not make too risky decisions, so he let it go and expressed his true thoughts.

Furthermore, he supported Chen Mubai in his heart, Starway Entertainment was indeed a bit disgusting.

As a person in the industry, he hates this kind of behavior very much.

"However, there is a supplementary condition. Let Mubai Entertainment increase its propaganda efforts to single out the contradictions between the two sides. We will also promote it in secret!" The leader added.

"I'll contact them right away!" Yao Yongbo said, and left the office to call Chen Mubai.
