Chapter 186

"So, I, I chased stars before... chased the wrong one?"

"Yes, yes!" Su Meng's eyes lit up, and he said quickly.

"So you don't need to chase me at all, and you can't possibly catch up to me!"

Wanzi's face was ashen, feeling as if her heart had collapsed.

"I never thought the first idol I fanned, before I could even catch up, would end like this..."

Su Meng became even happier.

Finally cured this little girl's brainlessness, not easy.

"If you want to chase, you can chase the drama, for example, this 'Bright Sword', it's quite good."

Wanzi's eyes were red, and tears were about to fall.

"But this uncle is so old and ugly, I really can't get interested in chasing it."

"Brother, you won't let me fan you, then can you promise me one last request?"

"Say it!" Su Meng patted his chest and nodded repeatedly.

"As long as I can do it, I will definitely promise!"

"Then brother..." Wanzi's eyes were full of hope.

"Can you act in another CEO drama?"

"No problem, I promise!"

Su Meng didn't even think and agreed instantly.

Then he suddenly woke up, his face turned green, and he said tremblingly.

"What did you say? You want me to act as a CEO?"

"Yes!" Wanzi looked innocent.

"Brother, brother, you've already promised me, you won't go back on your word, right?"

Ah? Su Meng was completely stunned.

You want me... Li Li Yunlong... to act as a CEO?

Manager Wang heard this, and his eyes lit up.

"Boss Duan, Sister Qin, can iQIYI Video participate in the investment for Su Meng's new drama?"

"And the exclusive online broadcast rights, we want them!"

He wasn't stupid; Su Meng's current heat was right here!

With CCTV's help, plus the gimmick of returning to being a CEO, it would definitely be profitable!

Sister Qin rolled her eyes at him and said lightly.

"It's not impossible to talk about this, but first reveal the remaining three digits!"

The other few people also had holy expressions.

"Yes, let's go to that group and chat about Su Meng's new drama."

Manager Wang sighed long and said gloomily.

"..."

As time passed, the heat of 'Bright Sword' grew higher and higher.

After several video platforms purchased the online broadcast rights, they also launched promotions immediately.

Through multiple channels, this drama had whetted everyone's appetite.

Finally, it was Monday, and countless people sat in front of their TVs, waiting eagerly for the broadcast of 'Bright Sword'.

After the impassioned opening song, a black-and-white old picture slowly appeared, and a male voice sounded.

"July 7, 1937, the Japanese army..."

After the background was explained, it went directly into the cruel battle scene.

A Japanese officer walked to Sakata Nobutetsu and said loudly.

"(Japanese) Report to the regimental commander, the brigade commander called..."

Many people in front of the TV were startled.

These long dialogues were actually in Japanese?

Many anti-Japanese dramas on the market nowadays, to cater to the audience, let the Japanese soldiers speak Chinese.

It was easy for the viewers, but it was really distracting.

Although until now, the protagonist hadn't officially appeared.

But the information revealed in the dialogue between the two Japanese officers made people curious about the protagonist.

Fought for so long, and not a single person was captured?

And the formation of troops was praised even by the Japanese officers?

But many people's hearts sank.

This drama wouldn't be like those god-dramas, where the protagonist acts cool and kills everyone, right?

The camera finally shifted to the Eighth Route Army side.

Many people saw the picture, and their hearts felt sour.

Compared to those Japanese soldiers, these soldiers were obviously much thinner.

The clothes on their bodies, the weapons in their hands, compared to the Japanese soldiers, there was a clear gap.

The plot progressed, and Li Li Yunlong's first classic quote appeared.

"What kind of elite is that?!"

"I don't believe in this evil; I, your father, am here to fight the elite!"

"Pass my order, everyone fix bayonets, prepare to attack!"

His words instantly made everyone's blood boil.

But many people were startled.

"Your father"?

In a big anti-Japanese war drama pushed by CCTV, they hadn't even said a few words before starting to curse?

"Report to the regimental commander, Wang Chengzhu awaits instructions!"

A gunner appeared in the lens.

Many people were startled, subconsciously casting their eyes toward a major nearby.

The battalion commander looked at the screen, then at him, surprised.

"Tang Tang Xiaojia, you actually appeared on screen?"

Tang Tang Tang Xiaojia nodded, his face not half happy.

"Watch TV!"

On TV, Li Li Yunlong: "...think of a way to fire a shot at him!"

After a few lines of dialogue, Zhuzi was anxious and roared directly.

"Regimental commander, you have to speak with a conscience!"

"Just now when the Japanese attacked, you were the one shouting the loudest!"

"Zhuzi, you blind bastard, give me that grenade launcher and blow it up..."

Many people stared at Tang Tang Tang Xiaojia in surprise.

This guy was an expert in the electronic warfare brigade, but he had an introverted personality and usually spoke softly.

But on TV, he roared so fiercely?

And... you should be a small soldier, how dare you roar at the regimental commander?

The battalion commander looked at the straight-backed Tang Tang Tang Xiaojia and nodded with satisfaction.

Ever since he came back from filming, this guy was like a different person.

Besides daily work, he spent most of his time on the training ground, as if he had been stimulated by something.

However, this was a good thing!

The entire plot moved very quickly, and before they knew it, one episode ended.

Hearing the ending song, countless people couldn't help but curse.

Cliffhanger dog!

I was enjoying watching it, and you stopped here?

This plot was really compelling.

Li Li Yunlong went to the clothing factory to be the factory manager?

The Japanese actually had special forces?

And the target was the Eighth Route Army headquarters?

Li Li Yunlong was about to become the regimental commander of the Independent Regiment, so wouldn't his opponent be this Japanese special forces unit?

One suspense after another made everyone unable to stop.

Although there were only a few minutes between the two episodes, countless netizens couldn't hold back their joy of wanting to share.

"Old San, why are you still playing games? Come watch the Japanese fighting! Huh? Why do I sound like that too?"

"The war scene just now was too tragic, it felt like it was real."

"It wasn't easy, our predecessors had it too hard, right?"

"Dad, this drama is good, right? It's my brother's work!"

"This is a CCTV-1 drama, opening your mouth with 'your father', closing it with 'damn it', is this really okay?"

As more and more people shared and discussed, someone suddenly raised a question.

"Didn't they say Su Meng was the lead actor? Where is he?"

This question made the entire internet quiet, and then it exploded.

"Damn! If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have noticed that Li Li Yunlong was played by Su Meng!"

"Damn, is this the legendary Su Meng face-changing technique? It's like a completely different person."

"I originally thought a little fresh meat acting in this kind of drama would be distracting, but his makeup was too perfect, right?"

"Kneeling to Su Meng! Not just the makeup, this acting is too amazing, right? Who said he was a CEO before?"

CCTV's data monitoring room, a staff member shouted excitedly.

"It grew! It grew again! The ratings grew again!"

"These ratings grew too fiercely, right?"

"This is only the first episode, and it already exceeded the ratings of the 'Water Margin' finale?"

The director looked at the curve on the screen and sighed repeatedly.

"No wonder the station values this drama so much."

"This is only the first episode, and the ratings have already broken 4; if this ferments for a few more days, what will happen?"

"This year's annual ratings champion will likely be in the bag."

"It's really unexpected that a mainstream anti-Japanese war drama could win the ratings championship?"

Two episodes had just finished broadcasting, but the momentum of becoming a hit was already achieved.

The topic #Bright Sword# rushed directly to the top of the trending list.

Countless people discussed it from various angles online, and many people ran to CCTV's Weibo to urge for updates.

With such high heat, naturally, some people couldn't help but want to hitch a ride.

On the Feilu Novel website, a dead-end writer called "Xianyun Xianyun Shisilang" also posted an analysis article in his book review section.

"On the reasons for the explosion of 'Bright Sword'."

"First, earthy! Vulgar!"

"This is not scolding, but praising; the crew is really attentive."

"Everyone can see that our conditions are very difficult, from weapons to clothing to utensils, too difficult."

"And from the brigade commander to Li Li Yunlong to the small soldiers, many of them are constantly saying 'damn it'."

"It looks very vulgar, but in fact, this is a true reproduction of the time."

"As everyone knows, during that period, many of our high-level military generals were from mud-legged backgrounds."

"They didn't have much culture, but when the invaders came, they still picked up their guns and rushed to the battlefield."

"Second, not dumbed down."

"Everyone's IQ is online, the Japanese aren't stupid enough to let you kill them, they are also very cunning."

"Third, the props are particular!"

"I'm a relatively serious person, but I can't find a single blooper, you can't find any loopholes in all the props."

"And look at their costumes, everyone is dirty and bearded, this is what it's like to fight a war."

"Fourth, war scenes."

"I don't know if you noticed?"

"In the battle scenes, everyone can clearly see that the Japanese physique is generally stronger than ours."

"Although we often say 'little Japanese', in reality, in true history, the Japanese physical fitness was considered first-class in Asia."

"And in bayonet fighting, we can also see that this drama isn't fake fighting."

"When they fight, everyone is ruthless, murderous, and I don't know where Su Meng found such good extras."

"And many people who have been soldiers have discovered."

"When they charge in battle, they don't rush up in a swarm like some garbage dramas."

"But have a certain formation and tactical approach."

"Looking at all the film and television dramas, the only one that can reach this level of war scenes is 'Bright Sword'!"

"Oh right, speaking of military themes, I recommend a military novel 'Let you be a director, you go to be a military drill instructor?', cough cough cough... it's written by yours truly."

Many readers read his analysis and were originally enjoying it.

But seeing the end, everyone was stunned.

So you're just hitching a ride on the heat to advertise for yourself?

Your operation is too flashy, right?

In the book review section, the readers exploded instantly.

"On shamelessness, I only admire this dead-end writer!"

"You still have the heart to chase dramas? Why don't you update? 10,000 words a day, who are you looking down on?"

"Even the donkey on the production team wouldn't dare to rest like this! Get into the dark room and code words!"

"If it really doesn't work, you can open a 'Bright Sword' fanfic too."

The readers cursed, but strangely, his analysis article actually went viral.

It actually rushed onto the trending list.

Although the ranking wasn't high, it brought a lot of traffic to his book.

Making the dead-end writer excited, he generously added half a ham sausage to his instant noodles.

"Bang!"

The firecracker exploded, and colorful paper fell from the sky.

Duan Duan Jiangping walked over with a smile.

"Welcome our... Su Meng, why are you lying on the ground?"

Su Meng stood up without changing his expression and said lightly.

"Nothing, saw two ants fighting on the ground."

But he was cursing in his heart.

Damn, so embarrassing, I've become obsessed with filming.

Just walked in the door and heard such a sound, the first reaction was to look for cover.
