My ex is a queen, I'm on fire

Penguin Video Headquarters.

Wang Dalong has been guarding the background data of "Beginning" in the technical department. At eleven o'clock, the total playback volume of "Beginning" has exceeded 30 million.

The effective view volume of the first episode is 10 million, the second episode is 8 million, the third episode is 7 million, and the fourth episode is 5 million!

Fire!

This is really hot!

The statistics of "The Beginning" were pretty good when it first aired, but that had a lot to do with the recent publicity and the influence of Chen Wenhan and Lin Nian.

The performance of a drama still depends on the incremental data of the follow-up. Right now, "The Beginning" has been online for four hours, and all the data have skyrocketed exponentially, and the broadcast volume of each episode is very healthy.

In particular, there is only one million difference between the free second episode and the third episode that requires VIP. Considering the time difference between the audience's pursuit of the show, such a difference in broadcast volume is almost negligible, that is to say, "The Beginning" The VIP rate is frighteningly high.

Aside from the users who are members of Penguin Video, within just four hours, "Beginning" helped Penguin to attract a million new members, which is simply terrifying!

The next day, the good word-of-mouth of "The Beginning" continued to ferment, and various data also increased in an orderly manner.

At around nine o'clock in the morning, the official Weibo released a celebration poster with over 100 million views.

But this time, Penguin Video's publicity did not use the previous mugshot poster of Chen Wenhan and Lin Nian, but used a still photo of Chen Wenhan holding Lin Youyou running forward as a celebration poster.

Obviously Penguin's publicity is really professional. After "The Beginning" was launched last night, Lin Youyou has attracted countless fans with her sweet appearance and good acting skills.

Overnight, the number of Weibo fans directly exceeded one million!

It perfectly interprets what it means to be an "overnight hit"!

And the combination of Lin Youyou and Chen Wenhan was dubbed "Circular CP" by the audience!

This name is naturally based on the plot of "The Beginning". In the play, the two are caught in an infinite loop, so there is also the name "Cycle CP".

However, some fans call them "Lingou CP2.0"!

"Lingou CP" was originally what netizens called Chen Wenhan and Lin Nian, and Lin Youyou was also surnamed Lin, so some netizens jokingly called them the "Lingou CP2.0" version.

No matter what CP it is, in short, Lin Youyou is considered popular.

Straight from being transparent from a young age, she became a new flower with millions of fans.

And such a speed of becoming popular was completely unexpected by Lin Youyou, and she was not mentally prepared for it.

The next morning, she went to the cafeteria to have breakfast as usual, but she was recognized on the way to the cafeteria, and many people came to take pictures with her.

This is also the case when eating in the cafeteria, so that the breakfast that can usually be prepared in ten minutes takes more than half an hour. If it is not that she is late for class, she will not be able to walk out after class. canteen.

"Yuyou, you're really hot!"

"Should I have a treat to celebrate??"

On the way to the teaching building, roommate Sun Qianying said with a smile.

"It must be a treat!"

"If I don't eat Yoyo for a few meals now, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat it in the future!" Zhang Jiaqi echoed.

"Just please."

"You choose what you want to eat."

Lin Youyou waved her hand grandly. A few days ago, her remuneration for the filming of "The Beginning" has already been transferred to the bank card, a total of 60,000 yuan.

Chen Wenhan gave full play to the spirit of the unscrupulous boss, and only paid Lin Youyou 5,000 yuan per episode, which was exactly 60,000 yuan for the twelve episodes of "The Beginning".

The heroine only gets 5,000 yuan for one episode, which looks like a small amount, but it’s actually not much. Lin Youyou is a newcomer after all, so 5,000 yuan for one episode is actually a lot, even two or three thousand yuan for one episode is still a lot. People are willing to act.

What's more, this thing cannot be measured by salary. If Lin Youyou was not Lin Nian's cousin, and she had known Chen Wenhan before, let alone 5,000 yuan per episode, even if she asked Chen Wenhan for money, she would not be able to play the heroine .

"Yuyou, is Mr. Chen's Mahjong Entertainment still recruiting actors? I also want to sign with his company."

Sun Qianying said again.

"And me, I also want to sign with Mr. Chen's company, even if it's a contract of sale, it doesn't matter!" Zhang Jiaqi also nodded repeatedly.

"I don't know about this, but when I was filming, I heard Teacher Chen say that "The Beginning" is just a test of water. If the effect is good, the company may set up a special film and television production department."

This kind of thing is not a secret, Lin Youyou responded casually.

""The Beginning" is popular, the effect is obviously good!"

Sun Qianying held Lin Youyou's arm and said, "Youyou, if Teacher Chen recruits actors, you must notify us as soon as possible!"

"Yeah, yes."

Lin Youyou nodded. She has always gotten along very well with Sun Qianying and Zhang Jiaqi, and their relationship is not bad, so she will help out with little effort.

In the classroom of acting class two.

A tall girl with long wavy hair was surrounded by several classmates. Her name was Han Ranran.

She is also Lin Youyou's roommate, but she has been filming outside before, and she just returned to school this morning, and then went directly to the classroom.

Han Ranran is the second-generation star, and her mother is a well-known actor, so she has good resources. She has often filmed movies since her freshman year.

The classmates all know that she has a lot of connections and are willing to make friends with her. They haven't seen her for a while, and everyone is chatting with her.

"Yuyo is here!"

"Yuyou, take a picture together!"

"Wow, the big star of our class!"

"Yuyou, you've been my goddess since yesterday!"

As soon as Lin Youyou appeared, the classroom suddenly boiled.

Han Ranran, who was chatting with someone, immediately greeted her with a smile on her face, and gave Lin Youyou a big hug without saying a word: "Yuyou, long time no see, I really want to die!"

"Yes, long time no see!"

Lin Youyou replied with a smile that her relationship with Han Ranran was actually better than that of Sun Qianying and Zhang Jiaqi.

Some time ago, Lin Youyou first joined the filming crew of "The Beginning", and then Han Ranran joined the crew again. The two haven't seen each other for more than a month.

"Yuyou and Ran Ran are born in the same dormitory, such crouching dragons and phoenix chicks are really amazing!"

"That's right! Qianying, Jiaqi, you have to work hard. If you become popular again, your dormitory will become a star dormitory!"

There are classmates around feeling emotional.

There is no movie "The Richest Man in Xihong City" in this time and space, so Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Young is still a compliment!

Han Ranran and Lin Youyou had a very intimate chat, then pulled her to the seat next to him and sat down.

Naturally, she also watched "The Beginning". After all, it was a web drama in which her friend acted as the heroine, and even if it wasn't starring Lin Youyou, if there were Lin Nian and Chen Wenhan in this drama, she would probably watch it.

As for the fact that Lin Youyou became famous overnight, Han Ranran, as a good friend, was very happy for her, and at the same time naturally envious.

"Yuyou, on the high-speed train back, I finished the first four episodes of "The Beginning". Your acting is really good, and the plot is also good. I haven't seen such an interesting suspense drama for a long time."

"Spoiler, what happened next?"

Han Ranran held Lin Youyou's arm and asked about the plot.

"Yuyou, tell me, I want to know the story behind, why did the bus explode?"

Sun Qianying, who was sitting on the other side of Lin Youyou, also asked.

"You guys want to spoil it, so I'll say it"

Lin Youyou liked the story of "The Beginning" very much, and she could memorize the script backwards, so she vividly told her roommates about the following plot.

And when she was talking about the critical moment, their class teacher and acting teacher Xu Minglan walked into the classroom.

The originally noisy classroom suddenly became quiet, and Lin Youyou could only stop.

"A film crew came to the school to recruit actors. Everyone is ready to prepare, and this class will be added later."

As soon as Xu Minglan spoke, the classroom that had just quieted down suddenly became noisy again.

"Mr. Xu, what crew?"

"Is there any main character left for us?"

"Which big director is it?"

The students asked eagerly.

Hengzhou Film and Television Academy is not far from Hengzhou Film and Television City, so there are often film crews who come directly to the school to recruit actors, but the school does not necessarily pay so much attention to it. Usually, it will be arranged when there are no classes, and it will respect the students themselves. If you want to go, you can go if you want to go, and if you don’t want to go, you don’t go.

But this time Xu Minglan's intentions were obvious, he asked the whole class to go, and even postponed the acting class, which showed that the crew that came this time was a heavyweight.

Xu Minglan reached out to suppress the sound waves in the classroom, and said seriously: "The crew is not a big crew, and the director is not very famous."

Well?

this?

Hearing what she said, the students were all dumbfounded.

At this time, I heard Xu Minglan continue to say: "But the producer of this show is Mahjong Entertainment, the screenwriter is Feng Qingyang, the filming team of "The Beginning", and as the producer, Chen Wenhan also came to the school!"

"Chen Wenhan?"

"Teacher Chen??"

"I'm going, it's true!!"

"The filming team of "The Beginning" is awesome!!"

After hearing Xu Minglan's words, the students in the class couldn't calm down immediately, they were both surprised and excited.

Then, many people looked at Lin Youyou.

She is the heroine of "The Beginning" and a signed actor of Mahjong Entertainment, so she should know some inside information.

In fact, Lin Youyou knew nothing about Chen Wenhan's coming to the school. Like everyone else, she only knew about it after hearing Xu Minglan's words.

"Yuyou, what kind of movie is Mr. Chen going to film?"

"Yuyou, you are from Mahjong Entertainment, so you shouldn't need an interview!"

"Yuyou, do you want to reveal some inside information?"

Han Ranran, Sun Qianying and others immediately started gossiping around Lin Youyou.

Acting class rehearsal room.

A row of tables and chairs was temporarily placed here, and it was transformed into a scene for the actor recruitment of "Hitchhiking".

When filming "The Beginning", Chen Wenhan handed over an improved version of the script of "Hitching the Wrong Car" to Lan Zhengye. When the post-production work of "The Beginning" was over, he began to prepare for the film "Hitching the Wrong Car".

The heroine has already decided on Lin Nian, but the other roles have not yet been decided.

In fact, according to the script, this drama does not need many young actors, mainly because the heroine needs singers, dancers and so on after joining the performing arts company.

Originally, there was no need to specially go to the Film and Television Academy to recruit actors. There are thousands of extras and small actors in Hengzhou Film and Television City, which can meet the needs of filming.

But those ensemble performers and young actors are naturally unable to compare with the students of the Film and Television Academy.

But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Chen Wenhan wants to see if there are any good talents. The popularity of "The Beginning" has strengthened his determination to enter the film and television industry, so he plans to sign a group of actors and students from the film and television academy It has gone through very strict screening and has a higher success rate.

"Boss, there are already twenty or thirty people queuing up, can we start?"

In addition to Lan Zhengye, who came to Hengzhou Film and Television Academy with Chen Wenhan was also Zhang Dajun, the assistant director during the filming of "The Beginning".

He is also an employee of Mahjong Entertainment now. Zhang Dajun is a casting director, responsible for recruiting extras, special actors and some small roles.

He is very experienced in recruiting actors.

"let's start."

Chen Wenhan, who was sitting in the middle, nodded slightly.

Afterwards, the students lining up outside the door entered the interview site one by one.

The acting major of Hengzhou Film and Television Academy has two classes every year, with 40 students in each class. Theoretically, there are 320 students in the fourth class of the school.

But after the junior and senior years, there are fewer students in the acting class. Especially the senior students, almost all of them are working outside the theater group, and excluding some students who cannot come to participate in the recruitment due to other reasons, they come for interviews. There are about one hundred, fifty or sixty students.

The students from these majors are indeed excellent in all aspects, so much so that Chen Wenhan was a little dazzled.

"Next person!"

Zhang Dajun put aside the resume of the previous student and nodded to the school staff guarding the door.

The latter opened the door and another student entered the room.

After seeing this student, Chen Wenhan suddenly curled his lips speechlessly: "Yuyou, why are you joining in the fun!"

"Teacher Xu asked us all to come."

Lin Youyou replied with a smile.

"Sit back and watch."

Chen Wenhan pointed to the empty seat beside him.

"oh."

Lin Youyou nodded, pulled up a chair and sat diagonally behind Chen Wenhan, and then asked in a low voice: "Teacher Chen, why didn't you tell me before you came?"

"Why should I tell you?"

Chen Wenhan asked rhetorically.

"Well"

Lin Youyou was speechless as she was the boss and indeed had no obligation to report the itinerary to her.

"It just felt so sudden to me."

Lin Youyou pursed her lips and said.

"When the interview is over, you, the host, will have a chance to treat me."

Chen Wenhan smiled and waved his hand. At this time, the next student had already entered the room, and it was Lin Youyou's roommate and classmate Han Ranran.

"Hello, Teacher Chen, hello, Director Lan, and hello, Director Zhang!"

"My name is Han Ranran. I am 20 years old. I am a sophomore in college this year. I have experience in filming more than ten dramas."

Han Ranran, who has seen big scenes, has no stage fright at all. He introduced his situation confidently and calmly, and occasionally glanced at Lin Youyou, who was sitting diagonally behind Chen Wenhan.

"Your mother is teacher Han Ruifang?"

Lan Zhengye and Han Ruifang had collaborated before. At that time, Han Ruifang brought her daughter Han Ranran to the set, but that was three or four years ago, and Lan Zhengye did not dare to confirm.

"Yes."

Han Ranran nodded and said, "I met Director Lan on the set of "Countdown" a few years ago."

"Well, I just said it looks familiar!"

Lan Zhengye nodded slightly.

"Hey, we're still old acquaintances."

"It seems like it won't work without it."

Chen Wenhan joked with a smile. Although he didn't know Han Ranran, he had a good first impression on her and her appearance was good.
