The moment the physical copies of the return of the condor heroes went on sale, Yuan Da immediately bought over twenty copies.
One was naturally to support his idol, Teacher Su Yu's new book, and the other was to recommend it to his relatives and friends.
As an old fan of Su Yu, he naturally wouldn't believe that Su Yu would mess up, and the result was, of course, as Yuan Da had imagined.
Teacher Su Yu's sequel to legend of the condor heroes, the return of the condor heroes, once again sold out!
It even went out of stock on the second day of sales!
Fortunately, he placed his order immediately; he truly had foresight.
“Director Liu, how do you think Teacher Su Yu came up with the 【Anguish Palms】?” Yuan Da, who was studying martial arts routines with Liu Xialai, asked with emotion.
“You asked the same thing about the Dog-Beating Staff and the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms before! How would I know why Teacher Su Yu’s imagination is so vast?”
Liu Xialai shook his head helplessly, unable to figure out this question either: “By the way, what do you think about us inviting Teacher Su Yu to play Yang Guo?”
In fact, after reading the return of the condor heroes, he had been looking for a suitable actor for Yang Guo.
First, Yang Guo must be handsome! Otherwise, how could meeting Yang Guo ruin one's life?
But just the requirement of being handsome in ancient costumes eliminated countless young actors in the industry.
After much thought, the best candidate for Yang Guo in Liu Xialai's mind was Su Yu alone!
Because Su Yu's portrayal of Yang Kang was truly too handsome. Playing Yang Kang in the hunger games, and then Yang Kang's son, Yang Guo, in the second part, there's no problem with that, right?
Isn't it perfectly reasonable for the two to look alike?
“If we can invite Teacher Su Yu, that would naturally be the best! And as the author, he naturally understands the martial arts in the book best! Plus, Teacher Su Yu’s acting skills are really good, I think it’s no problem! But can you invite him?”
Upon hearing this, Yuan Da was naturally a hundred percent willing.
However, Su Yu is currently busy filming his first movie, and after that, he has to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, and also deal with the music season charts. How could he possibly come to act in their TV series?
Moreover, Yang Guo this time is definitely the protagonist, with the heaviest filming schedule.
Once Su Yu joins the crew, it will be impossible for him to concentrate on filming Yang Kang's scenes and finish quickly, as he did during the filming of legend of the condor heroes.
And how precious is Su Yu's time? With three or four months of filming time, there's so much more he could be doing!
Unless Su Yu himself wants to play the role, otherwise, this is simply a fantasy.
“Oh, we’ll see then. Maybe Teacher Su Yu has a suitable candidate in mind! Just like how he insisted on choosing Sun Daqiang to play Guo Jing despite all objections back then.”
Liu Xialai sighed, having no other options.
However, Su Yu’s eye for casting is truly excellent!
From Li Xunhuan in little li flying dagger to Guo Jing in the legend of the condor heroes.
Li Enjun and Sun Daqiang perfectly fit the character's persona and positioning.
Li Enjun's portrayal of Li Xunhuan became incredibly popular, and the adult version of Guo Jing, who appeared in the fourth episode tonight, was also well-received by the audience.
After episodes three and four aired on the 4th, Sun Daqiang, who was originally an unknown individual, gained over 500,000 followers on his Tribe account!
You know, this is just the beginning!
the legend of the condor heroes will become even more exciting as the plot progresses.
When the time reached February 7th, and the plot aired to episodes nine and ten, the ratings of the two major satellite TVs completely exploded!
After a steady increase over the first three days of this week, Jinling TV's average ratings for the two episodes on the 7th reached 3.23.
Yanjing TV also incredibly broke 3, reaching 3.11!
Now, for a popular exclusive drama to break 3 is already a very good achievement.
But what about the legend of the condor heroes? Aired simultaneously on two satellite TVs, and they both managed to break 3!
This is only the tenth episode! There are still fifty episodes left to air!!
So, if the show doesn't fall apart later, does that mean the ratings are very likely to break 4?
Jinling TV and Yanjing TV truly won big this time.
And Tengfei Video was even more delighted; the legend of the condor heroes' ability to attract new users is truly formidable.
This week, the number of active users on Tengfei Video has also been growing geometrically.
They have reason to believe that this February's monthly active users will easily break into the top five video platforms!
This was something they had never even dared to dream of before.
In episodes nine and ten, as Guo Jing returned to the Central Plains with his masters, Huang Rong, played by Wang Meiling, finally made her appearance.
For countless book fans, Huang Rong is the soul of this book!
And Wang Meiling, a student at Yan Film Academy, perfectly interpreted the Huang Rong that book fans had fantasized about.
It was as if she wasn't deliberately acting, but rather that she was naturally like that.
From the ninth episode, where Huang Rong, dressed as a little beggar, first met Guo Jing and playfully teased him in every way.
To the tenth episode, where Huang Rong sheds her beggar disguise and, as a bright and beautiful young girl, shouts “Jing Gege!” from the bow of the boat.
Countless viewers and book lovers remembered this spirited Wang Meiling.
And on the night of the 7th, Wang Meiling's Tribe followers surged by 3 million! Directly surpassing the combined total of Sun Daqiang, the actor playing Guo Jing, over the past few days.
Wang Meiling also became an overnight sensation, rising to become a highly sought-after and talented new young actress.
This made Wang Meiling, who had already returned to school and was diligently studying, feel a bit unreal.
After the legend of the condor heroes wrapped up, besides participating in a few promotions, there was nothing else for her to do.
Tianxing Entertainment's task for her was to study hard at school and enrich herself as much as possible when there were no filming assignments.
As a newcomer like Wang Meiling, she naturally obediently followed the company's arrangements.
Actually, Yan Film Academy had already started its winter break, but Wang Meiling felt that with the TV series going online, the company might have other arrangements.
So she had been staying in the dormitory and hadn't gone homecoming, as traveling back and forth would be too troublesome.
If the company didn't call her tomorrow, she would buy a ticket to go homecoming.
After all, the New Year was approaching.
And these past few days, with the premiere of legend of the condor heroes, Wang Meiling had been constantly anticipating her debut.
today, the Huang Rong she played finally appeared, and she excitedly informed her parents and relatives to watch her portrayal of Huang Rong together!
And looking at the Huang Rong she played on screen, Wang Meiling felt that there were still many areas for improvement.
At least she didn't believe she deserved the praise from the audience and netizens.
However, before she could even think of how to perform better, her roommates, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, rushed in frantically, one by one.
The four people in the dorm were lucky to see each other two or three times in a semester.
What's more, this was during the winter break!
Some roommates lived directly outside, while others sought opportunities to be extras or play minor supporting roles in various film crews to gain experience.
They all seemed quite hardworking, at least that's what Wang Meiling thought.
It was just that her roommates had not been very fond of her since freshman year.
Perhaps because she was the prettiest? Or the most diligent in studying? Wang Meiling couldn't figure it out.
