    The world's first crowdsourcing-driven asian bl novel translation community

    In June before the summer holiday, the TV drama market has already entered the battlefield of fierce competition. "The Legend of Jiang Hou" landed in the prime-time theater of the first-line satellite TV. Once it was broadcast, it attracted a lot of attention, and the ratings and topics both exploded.

    The popular subject matter, sophisticated production and high-quality script have successfully captured a large number of audiences. The plot is ups and downs and wonderful. The scene where the shallow and indulgent female supporting role, Concubine Mei Gui, committed suicide in despair with her child in her arms aroused many people's distress.

    The Empress CP, who loves and kills Su Xi and the leading actor Lu Ge in the play, has attracted countless fans.

    Two weeks after it aired, "The Legend of Jiang Hou" successfully became a national-level hit drama, triggering heated discussions on Weibo among the whole people, and the popularity of the lead actor and other supporting actors skyrocketed.

    As the heroine of this show, Su Xi became the biggest winner, her popularity reached its peak, and her fame was boundless. Not only did she return to the ranks of first-line actresses, she was also nominated for Best Actress nominations for Fei Tian, ​​Golden Peony and other important domestic TV awards. , It can be described as a double gain of fame and fortune.

    It is also a good thing that Susie's film "Benevolence" has received more attention because of this.

    But most people are skeptical when they see the theme of social realism. First, it is difficult for this type of film to pass the review. Second, even if it is deleted and released, it is difficult to recover the box office.

    All in all it is an arduous and thankless task.

    I heard that it was Susie's agent, Gu Ran, who recommended the script to her. This seems to be a bit inconsistent with her ability to accurately pick roles in popular works for artists in the past. Could it be that Gu Ran, the gold medal manager who has always been invincible, is finally about to miss.

    She wasn't afraid that the movie would be buried in the soil if it wasn't released, wasting Susie's time and doing nothing to her career. Or the box office of the film was dismal, making Susie a poison at the box office, which discouraged investors.

    This kind of draft appeared on the Internet, and even Susie's fans began to worry about it, and there were even many voices who questioned her manager Gu Ran, thinking that she shouldn't take such a scene for Susie. Due to a schedule conflict, another big-budget film by a famous director was rejected.

    Even the famous director confirmed in an interview with the media that he had indeed sent an invitation to Susie's agent, Gu Ran, to audition for a role in the script, but he was declined due to schedule issues, and he also expressed regret for it.

    This Republic of China film called "Feng Hua" has a luxurious lineup and is highly anticipated and received a lot of attention. At first glance, it is simply not comparable to any low-cost realistic film. Isn't Gu Ran, the manager, just picking sesame seeds and throwing watermelons?

    For a while, there were quite a few bad-mouthing voices on the Internet, and those who watched the show became even more lively.

    Qu Qingqing, who was eating, drinking and having fun with her little sisters, couldn't help gloating when she saw these comments on Weibo.

    She also didn't like Su Xi, not only because Su Xi was an artist signed by Gu Ran, but also because Su Xi quickly became popular with "The Legend of Jiang Hou".

    In addition to "Emperor's Industry", "Jiang Houzhuan" is the closest to the hit works in her memory, but she still missed it, wasting the convenience of rebirth, how could it not make Qu Qingqing feel depressed.

    Seeing that the other party is about to stumble, Qu Qingqing is naturally overjoyed.

    As for "Benevolence"? What kind of movie, have never heard of it, it is a movie based on realistic themes, it must hit the street, Qu Qingqing concluded without thinking.

    The unfavorable public opinion on the Internet, in the final analysis, is Su Xi's rise to fame, and Ye Jia, a rising movie star, and the explosion of "Jiang Hou Biography" in which he participated in the investment. People are jealous, wishing that Yao Ke and Gu Ran can fall down.

    After Susie finished filming the movie "Benevolence", she took the initiative to ask Gu Ran to take a vacation for a period of time. She wanted to adjust herself, otherwise it would be difficult to get out of the role.

    She said to Gu Ran, "Maybe we may not be able to come across such a good script in the future."

    There were both rejoicing and sighing in the words. It is not that Su Xi is ignorant of the current film market. As a celebrity artist, it is definitely not difficult to make money. But really good movies, good scripts are too few, too few, and there is no one in a million. It is also a kind of sadness for actors and filmmakers.

    Gu Ran agreed to her request, she is not some blood-sucking capitalist.

    In the end, the warmth of her family healed Susie very well, and she did not return to normal work to participate in TV drama promotion until "The Legend of Jiang Hou" was broadcast. And when a media reporter mentioned "Benevolence", Su Xi said without hesitation that it was a good movie.

    There are many fans who choose to believe in and support the goddess, and some people think that Susie is saving her honor, and even more people think that there is no chance of even seeing the light of day.

    Gu Ran didn't care about all these disturbances, she was busy promoting the film to pass the review, trying her best to release it.

    It was like this for several months.

    At a time when the entertainment industry was in a calm state, there wasn't even a star idol who cheated on her and fell in love, and there wasn't any news that could spark a topic.

    "Benevolence" suddenly announced its finalization in mid-September. Before people outside the circle were shocked by how its subject matter passed the strict review restrictions, they learned that this movie boldly chose the way of screening.

    The so-called on-demand screening means that it will be released in theaters a certain period of time in advance, and for the theater exhibitors, the number of films scheduled will be determined by predicting the market response of the film after the on-screen screening.

    This requires considerable confidence in the quality of the film before daring to do so, which is another degree of film promotion.

    But even if Gu Ran and Yao Ke, the behind-the-scenes promoters of the film, have all-powerful means to allow the film to pass the censorship and release, but such an unpopular realistic film, except for the starring Su Xi, the other actors are not well-known.What to have such confidence.

    When the invited audience and a group of film critics and media personnel entered the venue, they were surprised to find many unfamiliar or familiar faces, such as Mr. Han, Director Jiang, senior executives of the National TV Movie Channel, etc. They all appeared here.

    People in the industry vaguely guessed how this movie could be released.

    Among them, it goes without saying that Mr. Han is the pillar of the film history of Huaguo. It's not difficult anymore.

    It's just how Gu Ran and the film crew won the support of these big shots.

    The confusion lingering in my heart was quickly answered after the movie officially opened.

    The story unfolds from the perspective of an unimportant person. Against the background of the great era, facing the suffering of life, he lives to death and strives for justice.The ordinary doctor played by Susie struggles with duty and morality, and finally wakes up from the alienation and distortion of life, and realizes self-salvation and repentance, as well as true benevolence.

    Although it is a tone of practical significance, it also gives people infinite hope amidst the oppression and heaviness. People of all colors gather together and shine brilliantly in the dark.

    When the movie ended, the audience couldn't be calm for a long time, until the director and a group of leading actors appeared on the stage, and the audience burst into thunderous applause to them, thanking them for making such an amazing work.

    After the screening, "Benevolence" has exploded in word-of-mouth, basically a miracle performance with zero negative reviews. The tap water has spread from Weibo forums to Moments, and the ratings of the movie website have even appeared above 9 points, which is rare in the past ten years.

    A netizen who has always been harsh on domestic films commented, "Art comes from life. The only difference is that the ending of the movie has been processed artistically, which is much better than reality."

    "There are no heroes in real life, you and I are all mortals."

    "The brilliance of human nature can still be reflected under the heavy predicament. Whether it is the attention to social hotspots or the portrayal of ordinary people's lives, the impact received when watching movies, even now, will not be forgotten for a long time."

    "It's a very healing movie. There is hope in the endless darkness. The movie is so heart-wrenching. I warn everyone to bring enough tissues when watching the movie, otherwise you won't be able to wipe away your tears. In addition, I am very strong. I will never regret it after watching it." .”

    "It's definitely not an exaggeration to say that the conscience of a domestic film. Susie's acting skills in this film can be enshrined."

    "After watching it, I thought about it for a long time. The opposition between life and death, the contradiction between law and love, good people and bad people, seems to torture people's souls all the time. How difficult it is to achieve a balance. This movie can be released , appearing in front of the public, the same is true.”

    "The ending doesn't look happy, but when I think about it carefully, everyone's life is full of hope. I prefer this kind of warmth to sharp and profound criticism."

    "All the actors have contributed their best acting skills and sincerity to complete such a deeply touching work."

    As the film's network-wide marketing and publicity has also begun to exert its strength, the number of film schedules given by the film has also continued to increase. More and more audiences walked into the theater with curiosity, and then it was out of control.

    The release of "Benevolence" was like a thunderbolt dropped on a calm lake in the film market, which caused a huge repercussions.
