Chapter 154 Shock in the Entertainment Industry, Lin Fan’s God-level Directing Ability! _1
The data for the first day of the two television dramas was very important.
The premiere of the two television dramas at the same time would determine the future of the two dramas.
Then came the third episode of “The Legend of Sword and Fairy” and “Star Garden”.
And fans of the Legend of Sword and Fairy were already waiting in front of the television.
The plot of the third episode was:
[Li Xiaoyao accidentally discovered Zhao Ling’er, who had been kidnapped by three Moon Worship Sect disciples, but he no longer remembered her. He tried to save Zhao Ling’er and escape the pursuit of the three Moon Worship Sect disciples and was saved by the Wine Sword Immortal. In order to save Granny, Zhao Ling’er and Li Xiaoyao returned to the Immortal Spirit Island to find Granny on her last breaths. After Granny passed away, Zhao Ling’er endured the pain and cremated Granny, preparing to bring her ashes back to the Southern Zhao Kingdom. Li Xiaoyao also promised Granny that he would send Zhao Ling’er back to the Southern Zhao Kingdom. The two of them returned to Yuhang Town first.)
When the episode started, all the audience felt a little sad.
Because… Li Xiaoyao had forgotten about Zhao Ling’er.
But Zhao Ling’er remembered Li Xiaoyao.
Therefore, the change in Zhao Ling’er’s relationship was especially important.
It was enough that she remembered him.
She would care for him and take care of him, even if he no longer remembered her.
Xia Wanqiu’s acting here was extremely interesting.
She looked at Lin Fan and knew that he had forgotten her but she still had to be by his side.
When she and Lin Fan returned to Immortal Spirit Island, they realized that Granny had already passed away.
The emotional changes of Xia Wanqiu were quite difficult to portray here.
On one hand, she had to act out the changes in her relationship with Lin Fan and the pain after Granny passed away.
If it was an ordinary television drama, the pace would not be so fast.
However, the Legend of Sword and Fairy had a very fast pace.
For ordinary television dramas, just the last words of a dead person could be said for half of an episode before it ended.
But the Legend of Sword and Fairy was full of fulfilling plots and stories.
There were a total of three episodes. Every episode had a very fulfilling plot and would not waste a minute of the audience’s time.
Coupled with the special effects, scenes, and the protagonists’ looks and acting skills, all the audience fell deeply in love with this television drama.
In the third episode, the Legend of Sword and Fairy had already begun to torture the audience.
The male lead had forgotten about the female lead. They had clearly consummated their marriage last night.
It was because of Li Xiaoyao’s transition from loving Zhao Ling’er to forgetting her that the audience’s hearts were stirred.
Everyone was looking forward to seeing when Lin Fan would remember his wife, Xia Wanqiu.
After the third episode ended, the fans did not cheer like before. Instead, they were a little silent.
“How can Li Xiaoyao forget his wife? Remember that she’s Zhao Ling’er, your woman, your wife!”
“Zhao Ling’er is so pitiful. I’m crying. She was forgotten by the man she loved and was even chased after. Now, even her grandmother is dead.”
“How can this television drama be so torturous? However, it should only be this once. When Li Xiaoyao remembers Zhao Ling’er, we won’t be tortured anymore.”
“Sigh, Lin Fan and Xia Wanqiu’s acting is too good. I’m immersed in it. I really want Lin Fan to remember Xia Wanqiu. Isn’t it good to act like this?”
“Hurry up and update. I want to continue watching, I want to see when Lin Fan will remember Xia Wanqiu. Hurry up!”
“Hurry up and update!”
“I have to say, this ‘The Legend of Sword and Fairy’ was filmed too well. The plot is also very touching. I can’t wait to see the next episode.”
“When can the next episode be broadcast? I’ll have to wait until tomorrow again. Sigh.”
“I love it, I love it. It’s such a good television drama and has such a nice plot. It was even directed by Lin Fan and he wrote the script too. That despicable Lin Fan always likes to bully fans like us.”
“…”
The third episode of “Star Garden” also finished broadcasting on television.
When the two television dramas finished broadcasting at the same time, all the audience went on Weibo, Zhihu, and various other apps.
All the major media outlets were also mobilized and started looking at the show reviews.
The two television dramas became popular at the same time.
It was unknown which television drama was more popular on the first day.
After about a night,
“The Legend of Sword and Fairy” and “Star Garden” were both trending on Weibo.
However, the top trending topic wasn’t Lin Fan and Xia Wanqiu.
It was Lin Kexin.
Because of Lin Kexin’s popularity, she alone was even more popular than Lin Fan, Xia Wanqiu, Su Xiaoyu, and Xu Yang.
How could her first television drama after graduating from Beijing Film Academy not be popular?
The top trending topic — [Lin Kexin’s acting skills] had 4320000 popularity.
The second-most trending topic — (Lin Fan and Xia Wanqiu’s marriage] had 4300000 popularity.
The third-most trending topic—[Star Garden is So Interesting] had 3840000 popularity.
The fourth-most trending topic — [The Legend of Sword and Fairy is too amazing] had 3830000 popularity.
Both dramas were trending.
However, there was a difference. Lin Kexin’s “Star Garden” was ranked first.
Lin Fan and Xia Wanqiu’s “The Legend of Sword and Fairy’ was ranked second.
However, the popularity of the two television dramas was almost the same. Compared to the initial expectations, “The Legend of Sword and Fairy” had already achieved very good results.
However, it was still 20,000 points less popular than “Star Garden”.
After all, Lin Kexin was an extremely popular celebrity. It was not easy to surpass her.
It was precisely because of the popularity of these two television dramas that there was widespread discussion.
On Weibo’s trending topic list, “Star Garden” was closer to the top.
However, if one wanted to compare the two television dramas, one had to look at the viewership ratings of the two television dramas and their overall popularity.
Just relying on Weibo alone, one could not really determine which of the two television dramas was more popular.
In the entertainment industry, all the major entertainment companies were paying attention to the battle between the two television dramas.
“Yuehua Entertainment is quite something. They can even fight against Huace Pictures.”
“I’ve seen the television drama ‘The Legend of Sword and Fairy’. It was filmed quite well. Lin Fan’s directing skills can be said to be top-notch. I think his directing skills are not weaker than that of those people from Huace Pictures.”
“Understood. In the future, when you look for a director, you have to look for Lin Fan. Director Lin’s directing skills are very strong.”
“If it wasn’t for Lin Kexin’s high popularity, I’m afraid the popularity of ‘The Legend of Sword and Fairy’ would have rushed to first place. Unfortunately, ‘Star Garden’ is still above ‘The Legend of Sword and Fairy’.”
“That’s not necessarily true. This is just the beginning. Moreover, the data from the television stations is not clear. We don’t know which of these two television dramas is more popular. Even if Star Garden is more popular than The Legend of Sword and Fairy, The Legend of Sword and Fairy still has a chance to turn the tables.”
“From the first three episodes, the pace of Star Garden isn’t slow, and it started off very sweetly. Many viewers like it very much.”
“However, what I want to say is… Lin Fan is really a scriptwriting master. Whether it’s ‘Joy of Life’ or ‘The Legend of Sword and Fairy’, he wrote them too well.”
“Especially ‘The Legend of Sword and Fairy’. The world view is too grand. The world view of this television series hasn’t really unfolded yet, and the plot hasn’t fully unfolded either.”
“If the Legend of Sword and Fairy can exert its strength in the later stages, it won’t be difficult to surpass Star Garden. All of this is thanks to Lin Fan’s ability.”
“How can there be such a talent in our entertainment industry? He’s both a scriptwriting master and a directing master, and the plot he wrote is so interesting.”
“D*mn, if we had known earlier, our company should have bought Lin Fan’s script back then. Who knew that the things he filmed would be so good!”
