Chapter 149 Confronting Today’s Apex King, Declaring War! _ 1

“Director Lin, we’ve all seen your directing ability.”

“The television drama ‘The Legend of Sword and Fairy’ might really become popular.”

“We’ll buy the premiere rights of this television drama. After our unanimous discussion, we’ll officially buy the premiere rights of this drama for 93 million,” the staff of Sujiang Television said.

“Sure. It’ll be broadcasted on Sujiang TV every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Six episodes will be broadcasted per week. If there’s no problem, let’s sign the contract,” said Lin Fan.

“Alright, we’ve already drafted the contract. Director Lin, take a look at the contract.” The staff of Sujiang TV took out the contract and placed it in front of Lin Fan.

After checking that the contract was fine, Lin Fan shook hands with the staff of Sujiang TV. “Pleasure doing business with you.”

“Director Lin, pleasure doing business with you too. I look forward to your television drama becoming popular.”

After signing the contract, it also meant that “The Legend of Sword and Fairy”, which had hundreds of millions of yuan invested in it, was officially scheduled to be broadcasted on Sujiang TV at 8 pm every Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

The contract Lin Fan signed with Sujiang TV was only a dividend contract. In other words, if “The Legend of Sword and Fairy” could become popular in the future, Lin Fan could receive a lot of money from it.

Furthermore, this was only the beginning.

All of Xia Wanqiu’s endorsements had been terminated.

Therefore, Lin Fan wanted to use this television drama to make Xia Wanqiu become a really popular female celebrity.

In reality, Lin Fan wasn’t interested in becoming famous.

From the beginning to now, he had always been a salted fish.

Lin Fan becoming a superstar was also for Xia Wanqiu.

When Lin Fan found out that someone from Huace Pictures wanted to kill Xia Wanqiu’s career,

Lin Fan felt what a crisis was.

Lin Fan felt what anger was.

His cat, Xia Wanqiu, only wanted to film good works.

But in the entertainment industry, the opponents would not let Xia Wanqiu off.

Faced with the high compensation for breach of contract, Xia Wanqiu almost could not make a comeback.

Those endorsements actually terminated their contracts with Xia Wanqiu to go work with Lin Kexin instead.

This was because those endorsements thought that Lin Kexin had more investment value.

If the big star Lin Kexin was the spokesperson, it would be even better for their products.

Most people in this world cared about benefits.

The so-called negative impacts on their products were just excuses from these endorsements and advertisers.

The main reason was that they felt that Xia Wanqiu could not compare to Lin Kexin.

They felt that “Joy of Life” could not compare to “Star Garden”.

Lin Kexin was indeed very popular.

Even Lin Fan’s “Love Confession” wasn’t more popular than Lin Kexin.

Coincidentally, the first season of Joy of Life was already popular.

All the entertainment companies thought that Lin Fan was going to release the second season of Joy of Life.

Huace Pictures must have thought of it too.

They might even have thought of measures and plans to deal with the second season of Joy of Life.

At this moment, if Lin Fan wanted Xia Wanqiu to become even more popular and for her popularity to surpass Lin Kexin’s.

Then it was unrealistic to rely on the second season of Joy of Life.

This television drama already had a fixed fanbase. It was already very difficult to add a new fanbase.

Hence, Lin Fan made a bold attempt.

He wanted to do what nobody expected him to.

It was to use “The Legend of Sword and Fairy” to completely promote Xianxia dramas in the country.

In other words, Lin Fan was using “The Legend of Sword and Fairy” to fight against Huace Pictures’ “Star Garden”!

Lin Fan chose the prime-time slot for a week.

Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 8 pm. His goal was to face “Star Garden” head-on!

The audience’s time was limited. “Star Garden” would definitely be broadcasted during prime time.

The audience could only choose to watch one television drama at one period of time.

If they still wanted to watch dramas in the future, they could only look for videos online.

However, it was worth mentioning that there was no web version of “The Legend of Sword and Fairy” yet.

Because this television drama was targeted at the entire television audience.

It was a bold attempt and a dangerous one. In other words, if the audience missed this television drama and wanted to watch ‘The Legend of Sword and Fairy” again, they had to wait for the next official broadcast of “The Legend of Sword and Fairy”.

This was a gamble.

It was also a challenge.

nev

Lin Fan, a newcomer who had just entered the entertainment industry and was also a newcomer director, used his new directorial work, “The Legend of Sword and Fairy”, to fight head-on with the former king, Huace Pictures!

This was a serious challenge.

After all, Lin Kexin’s popularity was too high.

If he wanted to fight Huace Pictures head-on, he might fail.

But Lin Fan had no way out.

Xia Wanqiu had no way out after being bullied to this extent.

After the broadcast time of “The Legend of Sword and Fairy’ was set, this television drama was officially announced on Weibo!

Immediately after, this news was officially trending on Weibo!

All of Lin Fan and Xia Wangiu’s fans were in

an uproar again.

“D*mn, Brother Fan is so handsome. I love him. I’m in love with Brother Fan. What should I do?”

“Xia Wanqiu is also super beautiful. How can there be such a beautiful little fairy?”

“Su Xiaoyu is so beautiful too. This is her first time trying such a style. She’s simply stunning.”

“Did you guys notice? This Legend of Sword and Fairy was personally directed by Brother Fan. Even the script was written by Brother Fan.”

“In the future, we can’t call him Lin Fan anymore. We should call him Director Lin.”

“We’ll look forward to Director Lin’s first television drama at 8 pm this Friday. We’ll definitely follow it then!”

At the same time…

Huace Pictures was the former king and the current king.

The official Weibo account of “Star Garden” also officially announced the release of Star Garden!

The king of entertainment companies, Huace Pictures, gathered five top scriptwriters and chose to broadcast Star Garden on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday exclusively on Mango TV.

Furthermore, the female lead of “Star Garden” was an A-list celebrity and the most popular female celebrity with the most fans in the entire entertainment industry, Lin Kexin.

Other than that, the supporting actress for “Star Garden” was also an A-list celebrity. She was Chu Yaoyao, who was ranked second on Douyin’s celebrity rankings.

The male lead of “Star Garden” was also an A-list celebrity.

For this television drama, Huace Pictures was working full throttle.

Faced with Huace Pictures’ dominance,

Yuehua Entertainment chose to broadcast a television drama at the same time as Huace Pictures.

Even the premiere times of the television dramas were identical.

Weibo had already exploded.

Because,

This meant…

Lin Fan was declaring war on the entire Huace Pictures!
