Chapter 100: The Day of Premiere

  Volume 1 Chapter 100 Premiere Day

  Lu Li looked puzzled, and Lu Qiang smiled and said: "This time, there are two people participating in the investment. One is called Ge Yonghao, and the other is Liu Changyan. After receiving their investments, I took the liberty of investigating them and found that they are both fans of your books. You could say it's all thanks to you."

  After listening to Lu Qiang's words, Lu Li suddenly realized that he was also quite familiar with these two people. One of them had the online name "Silence is Golden" and, according to Liu Xiaowen, owned a fairly large company. The other person, Liu Changyan, was Liu Xiaowen's father, whom Lu Li had met several times before. It was said that his assets were even more substantial than Ge Yonghao's.

  "Since there are people who support me so much, I can only repay them with good results." Lu Li said.

  "Hmm, but the two of them invested a total of only 200 million, probably still not enough." Lu Qiang continued.

  "It doesn't matter, we'll cover the remaining amount ourselves. That way, we can also make a pretty penny." said Lu Li.

  "Hmm, that's right. Jiang You mentioned last time that it's not easy to deal with actors." As they were about to arrive at the entertainment company, Lu Qiang furrowed his brow and said: "Originally I wanted to use all new actors, but later I thought that not only are the director and actors all new, our company can't spend too much money on promotion right now. If we do it this way, I estimate that not many TV stations will be interested in buying the premiere rights, and the ratings won't be high either. But inviting other popular stars would cost too much, so I'll ask for your opinion as the big boss."

  Lu Li thought for a moment and said, "Let's try this: I'll see if we can find someone from Tang Movie's stable of stars. The price should be lower that way. Newcomers signed by Hua Jing Film Academy can play some less important roles to get their foot in the door."

  "Hmm, let's talk about the specifics later." Lu Qiang said as he saw that they had already arrived at the farewell party.

  Back in the office, Lu Li didn't expect that just after mentioning Ren Tang Film, he immediately received a call from Cai Yizhen, the general manager of Ren Tang Film.

  "Lu Li, little brother, are you free now?" Cai Yizong asked as soon as he picked up the phone.

  "Hmm, I'm not busy, but I think Cai is probably busier now." Lu Li said with a smile.

  "Not busy, not busy, now calling to tell you good news, brother. I'm sure you also know that "The Archery" has premiered? The first round of broadcasting rights have been sold to Huahai Satellite TV, and the second round of broadcasting rights have been confirmed by four satellite TV stations. The contracts have all been signed, and the payment will be settled in a few days. Brother Lu Li's investment is also about to pay off." It can be heard that Cai Yizhen is in a very good mood.

  "Really? I happened to be short of money recently, and President Cai has solved my urgent need." Lu Li smiled.

  "Lu Li, little brother, how could you be short of money? Ha ha, just kidding." Cai Yizong said with a smile.

  "My family can't compare with the Tangs in terms of wealth." Lu Li said: "Right, there's something I'd like to discuss with Director Cai."

  "What's the matter, speak up." Cai Yizong said with a hearty tone.

  "It's like this, our company is also preparing to shoot a TV series, you also know that our company doesn't have many actors, I don't know if the artistes under Tang Movie can give us a discount on their pay." Lu Li said out her purpose.

  "What's going on? Is Lu Li planning to go solo?" The tone of Cai Yizong on the other end of the phone was clearly not very good.

  "Not a solo project, just letting my friend who's learning directing practice his skills." Lu Li replied.

  "That's okay, we can buy the copyright and film it ourselves." said Cai Yizong.

  "Can you accept a director who has just graduated from university?" Lu Li said, his hands holding more TV scripts, and he didn't mind selling some. But now he had to let Jiang You be the director, otherwise there was no room for negotiation.

  "Let me think about it again," said Cai Yizong before hanging up the phone.

  The two parted on bad terms.

  Lu Li sighed and it seemed that things were not as easy as he thought. But it didn't matter, at worst they could just invite some stars to perform for a high price.

  Lu Li then had the company contact Hua Jing, who had already signed with them, to join Bie Luo Entertainment as soon as possible.

  In the midst of busy farewell entertainment, July 5th arrived quickly, which was the day when the TV series "The Eagle Shooting Heroes" premiered on Huahai Weishi.

  Although there was some publicity before, after Huahai TV bought the premiere rights of "The Legend of Archery", it would not do any advertising at all. Especially in this city of Huahai, Huahai TV is like a home court, and places such as squares and bus stations are filled with posters promoting the TV series "The Legend of Archery".

  And on that day, most schools in China had already started their summer vacation, and even some schools that usually start their summer vacation later also began theirs on July 5th.

  "Dan Yu, how about going to the ice rink tonight? It's been a long time since we last went." Hua Dan Yu, who was blowing air conditioning in her room, received a call from her best friend Sun Yue Hong.

  "What about tonight? I'm not going, I want to stay home and watch 'The Archery', today is the premiere of 'The Archery', I'm not going anywhere." Huadan Yu thought for a moment before responding without hesitation.

  " 'The Legend of the Condor Hero'? What kind of TV show is that, it can even keep you from going to the ice rink?" Sun Yu Hong obviously didn't know about this TV series and asked in confusion.

  "The Legend of the Condor Hero" is a TV series adapted from Louis Cha's famous novel, starring Ho Jing-shou and Gong Xuefang. I've been expecting it for a long time." Huadan Yu explained to Sun Yuerong.

  "Oh, so it's He Dachui who played the role. His TV shows are not bad, since you're not going, I'll stay home and watch this drama too." Sun Yuehong said.

  "Uh. I'll go again sometime." Huadan Yu hung up the phone and turned on the TV, it was almost time for the 8 o'clock premiere of "The Legend of the Condor Hero".

  Not just Huadan Yu, at this moment countless people in China are eagerly waiting to see the premiere of "The Archery".

  At this time, Lu Li was also a bit tense at home. Although he had full confidence in "The Archer", and the attention it received from previous promotions was not bad, but how it would actually do could only be known after it aired.

  "A Li, don't be nervous, we believe in you." Zhang Wenhui and Lu Yanxin were also on the side, accompanying their son to watch this TV series written by their own son. Seeing Lu Li being a bit nervous on the side, Zhang Wenhui spoke up.

  "Mom, I'm not nervous." Lu Li heard this and smiled, feeling his tense mood relax a bit. At this time, the TV finally sounded with a voice that Lu Li was all too familiar with.

  Ahhhhhhhhh

  Faintly reminiscent of a dream I once saw, waves surge in my heart

  Put aside worldly grudges and enmities

  As the theme song sounded, the scenes of "The Archer" began to appear on TV, and the names of the leading actors, such as He Jing-shou and Gong Xue-fang, appeared one after another.

  Later, Lu Li's name appeared several times, screenwriter, deputy director, theme song singer, songwriter and other information, making Lu Yanxin and Zhang Wenhui both show proud expressions.

  Many audiences who have not heard of "Iron Blood and Steel Heart" before felt that the song was good after listening to it, and it seems that this TV series is not bad either.

  When the shot of Guo Jing shooting two eagles with one arrow, played by Hu Ge, appeared as the last shot before the opening credits, many viewers who saw this shot for the first time had higher expectations for this TV series.

  When the first episode of such subtitles appeared, and 08 version "The Legend of the Condor Hero" generally, it introduced a basic era background at the beginning.

  "The Great Song Dynasty, the Golden People's army launched a large-scale invasion. The Song army was incompetent and retreated in defeat at every turn. The Central Plains were ablaze with war, and the people were on the brink of survival. The shame of Jingkang has not been avenged; when will the hatred of the ministers be extinguished..."

  A very magnetic voice accompanied by some chaotic scenes slowly unfolded the background of that era.

  The plot then unfolds, Qiu Chuji is pursued by the imperial court, but is rescued by Guo Jing and Yang Tiexin. Later, Qiu names the unborn children of Guo and Yang's wives Guo Jing and Yang Kang...

  Although the TV series starts with a slightly dull plot, the picture production is excellent, and the performances of these supporting actors are also outstanding, which is very attractive to continue watching. Many people know that even if they haven't watched it, it's estimated that it will be exciting only after Guo Jing and Yang Kang grow up.

  Soon, the first episode ended and commercials started. Many people took this opportunity to go to the bathroom or stretch their legs. Even more people began to curse loudly in front of the TV, as watching commercials is the most annoying thing for TV viewers.

  And at Huahai TV station, many people are waiting for one thing tonight - the ratings of "The Archer" premiere. Even the director of Huahai TV didn't leave work early tonight and is waiting in the office.

  The broadcasting rights of "The Legend of the Condor Hero" were acquired at a high price from several other competitors. If the ratings are not satisfactory, his days will be difficult, and there are many people under him who are eyeing his position.

  "It's out, it's out! The first episode of 'The Legend of the Condor Hero' has a national viewership rating of 2.35!" Just as many people were anxiously waiting, a young man wearing a suit suddenly exclaimed excitedly.

  Wang Bin deliberately left the office door open in order to hear the news early, and now he let out a sigh of relief as he heard the sound coming from outside the door. The ratings were very good, and this was only the first episode. Based on past experience, the ratings would likely increase significantly as the plot unfolded.

  Many people in the TV station also heard the news and were very excited, happily discussing it.

  "What's all the commotion about? Get back to work, all of you!" Wang Bin scolded, his face stern as he walked out of the office.

  In an instant, these people quieted down, and many of them shrank their heads and sat back at their own office desks.

  Wang Bin nodded in satisfaction and walked out, preparing to head home. After stepping out the door, Wang Bin couldn't help but smile, it seemed that spending a large sum of money to buy the premiere rights for "The Legend of the Condor Hero" was the right choice.

  "This TV series is not bad." Lu Yi said after finishing the first episode at home.

  Lu Li heard this and burst out laughing.

  PS: It's been 100 chapters, sorry for the late update. The 100th chapter is not the end, Yi Leng will continue to work hard.
