Chapter 294: Broadcast (6,000-character update)

Liu Zhiyin practiced dancing until she was sweating profusely.

During the break, she wiped her sweat with a sweat towel and went to drink water.

The assistant said: "Lu Yan He is on the hot search again."

Liu Zhiyin was a bit surprised and asked: "What is it for this time?"

"It's a preparation interview in *Young Days*," the assistant said. "This is already the fourth time he has been on the hot search this week."

Liu Zhiyin nodded. "He has a lot of topics during this period."

The assistant said with a smile: "Sister Zhiyin, should we also make some topics?"

Liu Zhiyin looked at herself in the mirror.

After so many years of training, she has a graceful and sexy figure, and the curves of her body are exquisite, which is often praised by fans.

Compared to the operation of topics, Liu Zhiyin is actually more familiar with this way of working hard to prepare for a stage and blooming on the stage.

However, the domestic entertainment industry does attach great importance to topics and the "topic degree" of artists in the internet environment.

Liu Zhiyin has had a strong feeling about this since she returned to China this year. Compared with the idol artist industry model she was familiar with overseas, there are no mature and supporting work opportunities in China.

Her brokerage company is even helping her pick scripts, wanting to send her to the crew to act.

Liu Zhiyin is not against acting, but she is very unfamiliar with this mode. Because there is no fixed stage and no plan to release an album, it seems that any work she does is just consuming her little popularity. Almost no work is blessing her. Her popularity is indeed getting bigger and bigger, but there are not many fans attracted by her.

And many partners have a common evaluation of Liu Zhiyin after cooperating with her, that is, they feel that Liu Zhiyin's style does not match the domestic entertainment, it is too real, too serious.

This is also because Liu Zhiyin rarely goes on variety shows of the "reality show" nature. In the past, they were all "game" nature or "interview" nature.

She doesn't quite know how to make some "effects" on "reality shows", and her own personality can't make "effects".

The assistant said: "Lu Yan He is so popular now, why don't you have more contact with him on the show, Sister Zhiyin."

In the first episode of the show, Liu Zhiyin didn't have a very brilliant performance. Of course, it was better than other shows. She usually goes on other shows and is felt to be utilitarian, too aggressive, and exhausting. Only in *Young Days*, because most of them show the characteristics of "eating, drinking, and lazy", this point of her has become her feature.

Liu Zhiyin shook her head and said: "I don't want to hype topics with people, and his topics are not hyped."

The assistant shook her head. "Now where is there any topic that can explode without hype? There is marketing behind it."

Liu Zhiyin knows that what she said might be right, but deliberately marketing some topics and finding materials that everyone is interested in to market are two different things.

"Sister Zhiyin is so thin now."

During the second recording of the show, Xiao Yun held her arm, full of envy and jealousy, "Sigh, I have gained a few pounds."

"I see Sister Zhiyin often posting photos of herself in the rehearsal room, practicing dancing every day," Lu Yan He said. "Why don't you move more."

Xiao Yun: "How can you say me, you haven't exercised since you finished filming *Phoenix Terrace*."

Lu Yan He: "I am not as fond of eating as you."

Xiao Yun: "... Ah!"

She screamed angrily.

Others burst into laughter.

Liu Zhiyin also laughed, patted Xiao Yun, and said: "Dancing is quite fun, you can really try it."

"If I could dance with these four limbs, I wouldn't be an actor," Xiao Yun said seriously. "When I was a child, my mother sent me to learn dance. A week later, the teacher came to my mother and said, people should choose a path that suits them, and don't waste time on a path that doesn't suit them."

She had a look of life-lovelessness.

Everyone burst into laughter again.

Liu Zhiyin suddenly thought of something and looked at Lu Yan He and the others, "You guys should be good at dancing, right? I saw reports saying that you were also a group before."

Lu Yan He pointed to Yan Liang and said: "He dances the best, he is really good at dancing, the dance leader. I am a middle student who works hard to keep up and doesn't drag his feet. Li Zhibai is the most dragging, of course, he dances better than me, he is just lazy and refuses to practice."

Liu Zhiyin nodded.

"Are you guys going to record another show later, a show specifically for idol stages?" Lu Yan He asked.

Liu Zhiyin: "Yes, I know Li Zhibai and Yan Liang will also go, right?"

"Yes," Yan Liang nodded. "Preparing for the stage."

Li Zhibai suddenly remembered something, "Then we can cooperate on a stage."

Lu Yan He said with disgust: "Forget it, based on my understanding of you, you can't keep up with Sister Zhiyin's practice intensity at all. Yan Liang is okay."

Li Zhibai was arrogant, saying: "My stage control is top-notch."

Liu Zhiyin said with a smile: "We can explore it later."

Song Lin Xin looked at Lu Yan He and asked: "Didn't you participate?"

Lu Yan He shook his head and said: "I have a lot of classes this semester, and I have to prepare for *... The show team contacted me, because it is a show that plans to be done all year round, it is not urgent to finish recording in these two months. Later, when I have time and prepare a good stage, I will still go. After all, I also debuted as an idol artist, although my strength is not very good, I still have a heart that wants to make a good stage."

He asked Qin Zhibai and Song Lin Xin, "Did you receive the show invitation?"

"Received, but still hesitating," Song Lin Xin said. "I only know how to sing, not dance. My agent and I are worried that a stage that only sings will not have much advantage in that show. After all, it is competitive."

Qin Zhibai also nodded and agreed with Song Lin Xin's words.

This is indeed a concern for many artists.

If it is not a traditional idol artist's performance stage, other forms of works are easily compared by a stage with a burning atmosphere.

And once their ranking is low, it will give the public an impression that they are really not as good as others.

"Mainly because there has never been such a show where famous idol artists compete on the same stage in China, and we don't know what this show will look like," Yan Liang said.

"There was no such thing before," Li Zhibai said. "Usually, there is a proper stage performance at the gala."

Liu Zhiyin said: "Now there are some music festivals that will invite me to perform."

"Music festivals used to be mainly niche and avant-garde music, but now they are becoming more and more diverse," Peng Zhixing said. "I used to go to various music festivals, and I went a lot."

Qin Zhibai: "I have played at music festivals, and the atmosphere at the scene is very good."

Song Lin Xin nodded and said: "The atmosphere at the music festival scene is indeed very good, and every time I can sing to my heart's content at the music festival."

"In the gala and so on, music and so on are not the key," Peng Zhixing said. "The atmosphere of the music festival is just music, and the audience at the scene is basically here for music. That feeling is really different."

Lu Yan He turned his head and asked Li Zhibai and Yan Liang in a low voice: "Have you two been to music festivals?"

Both of them shook their heads.

The three of them were not singers who were good at singing. On the contrary, after Lu Yan He's *Memory* became popular, he received many invitations to music festivals, probably because this song was more in line with the tone of the music festival, very youthful, very campus, but at that time Lu Yan He was preparing for the college entrance examination, so he pushed them all away.

Later, it is estimated that Lu Yan He's actor attribute was better known, and there were not many singing work invitations except for some gala activities.

Even the director of *Small Song Gathering* didn't look for him again.

Liu Zhiyin said: "I don't dare to perform at such music festivals."

"Why?" Everyone looked at her in confusion.

Liu Zhiyin said: "Because I was in a girl group before, everyone did a stage together, and the songs were basically no solo songs. And after I returned to China, the copyright communication was not very smooth, and many songs could not be sung, so my performance now basically can only cover other singers' songs. Music festivals have higher originality, and I always feel that it is very strange to always sing other people's songs at music festivals."

Lu Yan He heard Liu Zhiyin talking about this song, and inexplicably heard some inferiority and sadness from her words.

Obviously, she is such a hard-working and enterprising person.

Xiao Yun asked in confusion: "Your company didn't help you buy songs and release singles?"

"There are also collections of songs, but because I haven't returned for long, if I really want to build an album well, it won't come out in a year or two, and I have to work hard, I can't let everyone forget me," Liu Zhiyin said and sighed. "Actually, recording a show with you is my most relaxed time. It seems that only when recording a show with you, the sound of scolding me will be less."

Everyone looked at each other.

This sentence... is inexplicably hard to pick up.

Lu Yan He immediately picked up a sentence: "Because this is the first show you recorded after returning to China, the audience knows you. When everyone gets to know you slowly, they will definitely know that you are a good person, and there will not be so many voices that misunderstand you."

Song Lin Xin laughed and said: "Sister Zhiyin, why don't I write you a song?"

"Ah?" Liu Zhiyin was stunned, and looked at Song Lin Xin in surprise, "Really?"

Song Lin Xin nodded.

Everyone knows that Song Lin Xin can write songs.

However, usually Song Lin Xin writes songs for herself to sing, and has not written songs for others.

Lu Yan He heard what Song Lin Xin said, and suddenly remembered that he had promised to write a song for Li Zhibai and Yan Liang each before.

Both of them are going to record *Idol Era*. At this time, they can also have a new song to perform on the show.

Yuming entered autumn almost overnight.

Lu Yan He woke up and didn't react, so he sneezed.

A very loud sound.

Mao Jiayang came back from morning running, and what he breathed out was white gas. Lu Yan He wrapped himself in a quilt, sitting on the bed, sleepy, and asked: "Is it very cold today?"

Mao Jiayang nodded and said: "The temperature has dropped, it is only about ten degrees."

Lu Yan He: "No wonder I feel cold."

Mao Jiayang asked: "Do you have class in the morning?"

"There is class," Lu Yan He said with a painful face. "I really regret choosing so many elective courses at eight in the morning."

Mao Jiayang laughed.

"What time did you sleep yesterday?"

"Twelve o'clock." Lu Yan He yawned, "There is a lot of homework."

Mao Jiayang: "Just persist for a while and it will be winter break."

"Still two months, right?" Lu Yan He yawned again, this time really awake.

It is only November now.

Winter break is until early January.

Mao Jiayang: "It will be finished one after another in December."

"That's right," Lu Yan He said. "However, in December, I also have to start filming *Six People Walking*, and there are still a bunch of things."

Mao Jiayang: "I see that the actors of *Six People Walking* haven't been found yet? I saw media news yesterday saying that you are picking actors."

"It is indeed still picking actors," Lu Yan He said. "Because it is a sitcom, compared to finding actors with very good acting skills, we hope to find those who are close to the character in their own personality, so it will be much smoother to film."

Mao Jiayang didn't understand acting, so he nodded when he heard Lu Yan He say this.

Lu Yan He got out of bed and asked, "Why did you get up so early today?"

Mao Jiayang said: "Because I want to accompany Xiaoxiao to shoot things."

"Shoot what?"

"She wants to shoot a documentary about the breakfast shop, which is homework for the photography class."

"Do journalism students have to learn photography?"

"Hmm," Mao Jiayang said. "It is also a compulsory course, and you have to learn editing."

Lu Yan He changed his clothes, carried his schoolbag and went to the cafeteria.

There were not many people on campus, making people think that many people didn't get up, but as soon as they entered the cafeteria, it was lively and not like a cold morning at all.

Lu Yan He bought a bowl of beef noodles and was looking for a place when Wang Xiao suddenly waved at him in the crowd, "Yan He!"

He signaled that there was an empty seat opposite him.

Lu Yan He went over with a smile.

"Haven't seen you for a while," Wang Xiao said.

Lu Yan He said: "Either in class or recording shows outside, or there is other work, it has been very busy during this time."

"I said so, I often saw you on campus before, I haven't seen you for half a month, I thought you were knocked down by those voices on the internet and were embarrassed to go out."

"Not to that extent, how could it be," Lu Yan He smiled. "And, actually, it's okay. I look online now, and most of them still support me."

Wang Xiao hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong?"

"Everyone supports you, but they are still not optimistic about the results of *Six People Walking*," Wang Xiao hesitated and asked, "What do you think? You want to take such a drama that is only exclusively broadcast on the TV station?"

Lu Yan He: "There are many reasons, and when all aspects are combined, I am willing to try. If the broadcast results are really not good, then forget it."

Wang Xiao said: "Are you really not afraid of failure? When the ratings are smashed, your reputation will also be smashed."

"How could I not be afraid," Lu Yan He said. "But I think even if it fails, it doesn't matter. They want to adopt such a broadcast form. I think for a sitcom that is itself a weekly broadcast, it doesn't count as anything. If it is not a weekly broadcast, not only eight episodes, or it is not a sitcom, I might care a little, maybe I wouldn't film it."

Wang Xiao was a bit surprised and asked: "Is there any difference in this?"

"Because the correlation between each episode of a sitcom is not particularly strong, it is not the kind that leaves you a mystery in the previous episode and solves it in the next episode. It is like a few fixed people acting in different story sketches. One sketch is finished and it is finished," Lu Yan He said. "Then the first episode is broadcast, everyone thinks it looks good, and leaves such an impression. When it comes to the next week, if there is nothing to do, then sit in front of the TV and watch the second episode. It is not long, just twenty minutes. I think the form of *Six People Walking* itself is suitable for exclusive broadcast on the TV station."

"Then isn't it more suitable for broadcast on video platforms?" Wang Xiao asked.

"Maybe," Lu Yan He said. "But according to the algorithm of video platforms, it may not really be popular. First of all, if it is a TV and network broadcast, most people interested in this drama will choose to watch it on video platforms, and the absolute number of viewers interested in sitcoms is not as much as other themes. I don't know if you watch dramas, and if you watch a lot, but in the current environment, one is that sitcoms haven't had a hit for a long time, no platform will be optimistic about it, give it good publicity resources, and the other is that the more episodes a drama has, the more advantageous it is on video platforms, because it can retain users and increase viewing time. And we only have eight episodes, still weekly broadcast, and only twenty minutes. The number of users, viewing time, and new member pull that not many viewers can contribute to video platforms are not advantageous in all aspects. Instead of this, it is better to put it on the TV station for exclusive broadcast, maybe it can fight a turnaround."

Wang Xiao heard Lu Yan He finish saying this, and showed a sudden realization expression, "It turns out there is such a saying."

Lu Yan He saw Wang Xiao's sudden realization expression, and hurriedly said: "This is just my own judgment, it may not be right. Don't think it is really like this. I don't know if it is right. Maybe when this drama is broadcast, it proves that I thought wrong, it is not like this at all."

Wang Xiao: "I think it makes sense. No matter if it is right or not, as long as you didn't make the decision casually, I thought you were fooled."

Lu Yan He was between laughter and tears, and asked: "Is this matter so outrageous? It makes you feel that I was fooled."

Wang Xiao: "You can't blame me for this, almost everyone doesn't understand this practice."

Lu Yan He: "That's because everyone doesn't know that this drama was planned to try this practice from the beginning, so the production cost was controlled very low. With the average ratings of the Beijing Station, and it will definitely be sold to video websites after it is broadcast, it is basically impossible to lose money."

Wang Xiao nodded.

Wang Xiao suddenly smiled and asked: "Why don't you bring the crew of *Six People Walking* to do a sharing and exchange activity at the Youth Association forum before it airs?"

"Ah?" Lu Yan He was stunned.

Wang Xiao said: "At least it can promote it."

"Forget it, they are all college students, and there is no TV, they are not our target group," Lu Yan He said.

Wang Xiao: "Look down on who, they are all college students who are going back for winter break soon, who doesn't have a TV at home."

He added: "Also, didn't you see the TVs in the cafeteria?"

Wang Xiao looked up and signaled the TVs hanging on the walls and pillars in the cafeteria.

Usually, news is played here.

Wang Xiao said: "I will help you handle several cafeterias in the school, you pull them to the Youth Association for exchange activities, and I will let every public TV in the school broadcast your *Six People Walking* during the time this drama is broadcast."

Lu Yan He looked at Wang Xiao in surprise, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Finally, he said with a sincere smile: "Senior, I have known you for so long, and I finally personally realized how lucky it is to know you."

*Phoenix Terrace* arrived as scheduled at this time.

One week before broadcast, it was scheduled.

Subsequently, Lu Yan He received a notice from the crew, cooperated with the crew's publicity activities, attended the press conference in Yuming, and connected with the main actors online to talk about some interesting things during the filming period, and promoted this drama.

The level of *Phoenix Terrace* is top-notch.

This kind of drama, it may be weak later, it may have a good reputation, but it will definitely not flop—this is the biggest difference between drama series and movies.

Basically, drama series with high attention only have good reputation and flop situations, and there is no situation where broadcast data is good and flop, basically they are not bad.

Especially those dramas with terrible reputation, you will find that their broadcast data is completely inversely proportional to their reputation.

The more fierce the scolding, the better the broadcast.

At first, Lu Yan He thought that capitalists had money and bought data, but later he slowly realized that it didn't seem to be that simple.

Lu Yan He played a supporting role in *Phoenix Terrace*.

Because Lu Yan He's status soared in the past half a year, he clearly entered the crew of *Phoenix Terrace* as a supporting role, but when it was officially broadcast, the drama party gave Lu Yan He a special starring status.

Lu Yan He thought it was Chen Ziyan who went to ask for it from the drama party, but Chen Ziyan said that she had not gone to tangle with the drama party about such things.

Chen Ziyan is an agent who sees further than Lu Yan He. She couldn't tangle with such vain things on Chen Lingling's drama.

Then Lu Yan He knew that this was Huangcheng returning the favor, expressing his gratitude for Lu Yan He's silence in the Lang Xia and Chen Wenwen incident before.

Because *Phoenix Terrace* was broadcast on the Beijing Station, Lu Yan He also followed the crew to a popular show on the Beijing Station to promote the drama.

Lang Xia did not appear.

It is said that the crew specifically took him out of the publicity team, not hoping that his private affairs would affect the public opinion of this drama.

The ratings of the first episode of *Phoenix Terrace* on the Beijing Station reached a good result of 0.645%—the drama it replaced, even the finale only had ratings of 0.424%.

Therefore, why every platform is grabbing such s-level big dramas.

And the broadcast data of *Phoenix Terrace* on video websites is even better.

Within one hour of going online, more than 5 million viewers clicked to watch, which has the appearance of a drama king. ===== CHAPTER 295 =====
