Chapter 98 Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils
More than two hours before the release of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Song Siwei was still very happy, or confident.
Because on July 15, the complete works of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, Legend of the Condor Heroes and the Affectionate Swordsman's published by Songjiang People's Publishing House were sold on Xinhua Bookstores across the country at the same time. Although readers don't need to rush to buy books because of the previous separate books, there are still many readers who want to collect books, and the sales are not bad.
Because Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils have only sold more than 30,000 sets in the country for a long time, while the Legend of the Condor Heroes and the Affectionate Swordsman's Remerciless Sword have just been serialized, many readers are still immersed in the aftertaste of the story and have sold more than 50,000.
Although in terms of quantity, it seems to be similar to the single book, there are five volumes of Demi-Gods and Dragons, four volumes of Legend of the Condor Heroes, and three volumes of the Affectionate Swordsman. So in fact, the total sales volume of this day is more than 500,000 copies, with a total of more than 10 million.
In China at this moment, whose book can achieve this sales volume, with sales of more than 500,000 copies in a single day, with a total amount of more than 10 million? Except Zhang Duo, there is only Wang Cheng.
When the first volume of Wang Cheng's "Dragon in the World" was launched, the sales volume reached more than 80,000 copies on the first day, higher than Zhang Duo's, but when the complete works were on the market, there may not be such sales. Because some readers have written to reflect to Wang Cheng, saying that his book was very pleasant and pleasant when he read it at that time. But if you look back, you will find that you don't have the feeling at that time. It is not as long as Meng Nanxing's charm.
A reader wrote a letter saying that Wang Cheng's book was amazing for the first time, but after buying it back, he couldn't read it again. However, unlike Meng Nanxing's books, they are still very interesting no matter how many times they are re-looking, and they are not as good as Meng Nanxing's books that are worth collecting.
This letter made Wang Cheng so angry that he began to write his "Dragon Travels the World" more carefully and vowed to compete with Zhang Duo.
As soon as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was released, it temporarily won the national championship with a domineering attitude, but it made Wang Cheng breathe a long breath in his heart. After all, since Zhang Duo's debut, he has challenged his hegemony in all aspects. Now that he is temporarily ahead, it is finally a breath of evil in his heart.
He doesn't believe that Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils has the day of turning over, two TV series, one with an investment of 100 million yuan and 30 million; one CCTV prime, one local satellite TV afternoon; an all-star lineup, one relying only relying on the outdated Ji Liancheng and the semi-red Shi Tianyou to support the scene. If this can be reversed by Zhang Duo, is there any justice? Is there any royal law?
Wang Cheng was proud and didn't mention it. Song Siwei and some senior officials in Songjiangtai were worried. Zhang Duo's face is still normal, but he is also secretly muttering that the ratings of the 97th edition of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils in his previous life were extremely high when it was first broadcast, because it was broadcast during the Spring Festival, it is said that even the Spring Festival Gala was affected by the Highlands. Later, the General Administration * stipulated that Hong Kong dramas are not allowed to be broadcast in prime time.
The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils produced by Zhang Duo this time is much better than the 97th edition. Even if the schedule is a little worse, there is no reason for the ratings to be low.
At noon on the 16th, Song Siwei asked Zhang Duo to go out for dinner. When the two were walking on the road, Zhang Duo saw Song Siwei smoking one after another and asked, "Brother Song, are you still worried about the ratings of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils?"
Song Siwei sighed and said, "Can you not worry? The schedule is too bad for us! A Duo, you haven't studied the film and television industry, and you don't know many inside stories. Do you know what the General Administration means to us? It can be said that if it wants you to fire, you will fire; if it wants you to extinguish it, you will extinguish it! Do you know why the types of TV dramas that have been popular on the screen in recent years have been changing? That's because the regulations of the General Administration are changing! It has a policy tilt for which drama, and that drama will be popular, so there will be so many anti-Japanese dramas, because it is the safest, and no matter how the policy changes, it is difficult to affect it.
Zhang Duo nodded and suddenly realized that it was no wonder that there was a martial arts drama in his previous life, a spy film, and a history drama.
When the two passed by a large stall, they saw two men carrying a TV and putting it on the table in the stall, and then got a pot-shaped antenna and began to adjust the channel. Song Siwei and Zhang Duo looked at each other and saw a trace of joy in each other's eyes.
Song Siwei said, "A Duo, why don't we just eat a little at this stall?"
Zhang Duo said with a smile, "That's what I mean!"
The two of them casually found a seat and sat down. A 30 or 40-year-old woman took a menu and asked, "Two bosses, what do you want to eat?" She saw that Zhang Duo was dressed casually, but Song Siwei was well-dressed and felt a little puzzled.
Song Siwei said with a smile, "If you are good at it, just do it!"
Zhang Duo almost didn't laugh. He said to himself that Mr. Song was really drunk. He read too many martial arts novels! It is not certain whether the boss of the stall will be the best, but the most expensive dish is for sure.
The woman said, "Boss, our braised pork ribs and chestnut roast chicken are well made. Would you like to have one?"
Song Siwei said, "Then let's have these two dishes!"
"Boss, would you like some cold dishes to get rid of the greasiness?"
"Okay, let's have another family!"
"Boss, what would you like to drink?"
"Beer is fine!"
The woman turned around and took the beer and put it on the table. Song Siwei asked, "Why did you move the TV here?"
The woman immediately cursed, "It's not our family who killed thousands of knives. If you don't do business well, you have to watch Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, and you are reluctant to put down this stall, so she brought the TV here. They were laughed to death and said that there is no one to do business like us! Alas, he scolded him but didn't listen, and so did Songjiang Satellite TV. Why don't you release it again at night? At this time, our family called the TV station to scold him, but no one paid attention to it. They were almost pissed off!"
After listening with a smile, Song Siwei said slowly, "Sister-in-law, don't be angry. Who hasn't had any hobbies yet? It's understandable for the eldest brother to do this."
Song Siwei glanced at Zhang Duo and said with a smile, "Like me, I like to read Meng Nanxing's novels very much. I heard that his Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils are about to be released, and I also want to find a place to watch it. I saw my eldest brother doing TV there, so I came to sit down."
The woman smiled and said, "I told you! You look like a big boss, and I'm still thinking about how you came to a small store like ours. That's what happened!"
Song Siwei smiled and said, "So, since I can come here because of this, maybe someone else will come to you for dinner because of watching Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils. At that time, your business may be popular because your eldest brother moved the TV."
The woman listened to Song Siwei's analysis and suddenly raised her eyebrows and said, "Yes, this boss must be right. If that's the case, we really appreciate Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils!"
The woman went to tell her man. The man smiled at this side, bought three dishes with all his strength, and gave him a vegetarian dish, but the woman was very unhappy.
At 1:00 p.m., Songjiang Satellite TV officially began to broadcast Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils. First, an exciting "Difficult Scriptures" attracted a group of passers-by in an instant. In the ultimate trailer played by Songjiang Satellite TV, * music is this song.
"Laugh at you and I'm in vain, and I love to compete for the beauty of the mirror flower.
Fearing that luck will pass away in a blink of an eye, fascinated by greed and anger.
I'm too greedy for you, and I blame all sentient beings on the earth for being too beautiful.
Repent that I was too faithful and jealous of the old days.
Many passers-by were attracted by the song and looked at the TV. The woman was happy when she saw the crowd coming, thinking that she was being said by Song Siwei. But after waiting for a long time, I saw that everyone only watched TV and didn't eat, but said unhappily, "Hey, everyone, if you don't eat, make way, don't block our door and delay our business."
passers-by heard it and walked a lot, and many people came in to order two dishes, two bottles of beer, and watched the TV.
Song Siwei looked at the female boss and shook her head. Looking at the stall, the stall was almost full of people waiting to watch Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, and finally smiled with satisfaction.
The first episode of this version of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils is based on the 97 version. The opening story is about Ma Dayuan, the deputy leader of the Beggar Gang, and Elder Chen, who assassinated Marshal Xixia. They were almost captured. At this time, Qiao Feng, the leader, led people to rescue him. Everyone retreated, and Qiao Feng fought against the four villains who defected to Xixia Yipintang with his own strength.
The first thing to enter the picture is Xingqing City, the tall and towering capital of Western Xia. There are three steps and one post, five steps and one whistle in the city, and the guard is strict. At night, two men in black climbed up the wall with daggers and sneaked on the roof. The picture turned around and became the Marshal of Xixia plotting to invade the Song Dynasty, and the man in black jumped out to assassinate. Marshal Xixia was chased and fled everywhere. At this time, a brick wall was knocked open by brute force, but it was the South China Sea crocodile god Yue Laosan. When the South China Sea crocodile god showed his signature crocodile mouth cut, the audience exclaimed that Yue Laosan was so domineering! Why did you come out so early!
And the iron claw steel stick of the crane in the cloud flew out from behind the two men in black, which seemed to be even more preocating.
The two men in black saw that they could not be assassinated. After a scuffle, they fled outside the city and fled to the dawn. The three villains chased after them with a team of cavalry.
Because of all the scenes involving the army, Zhang Duo asked the group of soldiers led by Zheng Anguo to finish shooting first. In addition, he always strives for excellence, so this cavalry chase is better than previous film and television dramas.
However, the cavalry team led by the three villains flew flags, knives and guns, and the dust heads were raised, which was very impactful. And the two men in black who have been running in front of the cavalry seem to be strong in martial arts. But in the end, the two were still surrounded by the cavalry of the squad.
Because Marshal Xixia ordered to be captured alive, the three villains led people to fly up from the horse and attack the two. The two were left and right, and they couldn't support it, but they heard a burst of passionate music. They only saw Qiao Feng, played by Ji Liancheng, riding a tall horse, coming from the distance. When they came to the front, they flew up and waved their palms. The golden palms could reach, and there was a burst of smoke and dust.
Ma Dayuan and Elder Chen, who had taken off their masks, looked up to the sky and said happily, "Master Qiao!"
At this moment, there were also loud shouts in the stalls, "Master Qiao", "Qiao Feng" and "Xiao Feng", but there were all kinds of shouts. Zhang Duo turned around and looked, and was immediately shocked. In the small stall, he didn't know when dozens of people crowded in. And the female boss also looked at the TV fascinated, but she couldn't remember the bombardment.
