[The makeup is gorgeous! The actresses in the show are all so beautiful and unique. The director is also incredibly skilled at filming. I even looked up other looks of several of the actresses, but none of them are as stunning and distinctive as their appearances in this show.]
In short, " The Phoenix First Rises " quickly took over every corner of the internet and sold Amway everywhere.
" The Phoenix First Rises " has become a huge hit!
While Ye Jin and her group certainly contributed to the spread of this message, most of the topics and trending topics were initiated spontaneously by the audience.
Even the pastries, makeup, and costumes from the show have been recreated by many fans who want to express their love for the show.
Ultimately, " The Phoenix First Rises " garnered over 10,000 views on the platform, and even broke its own popularity record on the day of its finale. The average number of effective views per episode exceeded 100 million, earning it the title of this year's top drama from the media.
The series has a total of forty episodes, airing for four days and then taking a three-day break, ending in just one month. However, for those involved in the production, this month can be considered a turning point in their careers.
Jiang Ye, the leading actress, went from being a washed-up actress back to the top, securing numerous endorsements. Even the production team behind the drama, from the director, screenwriter, and makeup artist to the original IP, all became hugely successful in the industry.
The original novel of " The Phoenix First Rises " dominated the bestseller lists on major online bookstores and apps, and Song Miao's other novels were also snapped up by film and television companies. Director Sang Yang became a key director being groomed by the platform, with many S+ projects being offered to her. Her costume, makeup, and styling teams were overwhelmed with projects, and many production companies openly stated that they wanted similar costumes and styling to " The Phoenix First Rises "...
Of course, the biggest beneficiary was Ye Jin's company. They were now fully involved in the industry, participating in top-tier projects, and many popular young actors and actresses were actively courting them, hoping to land the lead roles in their next projects.
After all, these popular idols have almost reached their peak in popularity, but their acting skills are not up to par for serious dramas and movies. In addition, most of the dramas they have filmed in the past are poorly made idol dramas with extremely low public approval ratings.
Therefore, for them, producing high-quality historical dramas that meet minimum standards is considered a top-notch resource. It can maintain popularity and improve public opinion, so why not?
After all, Jiang Ye, a second-tier actress who seemed destined to retire from the entertainment industry, has returned to the ranks of top actresses after this drama. Moreover, it is said that because of her excellent acting skills in the drama, many famous directors have extended invitations to her.
Ye Jin neither disliked nor was pleased by the swarm of flattery from these young admirers. That's how the industry works; you only gain respect after others see your value.
If their company flops a few shows one day and fails to produce any more hit dramas, these people and investors will naturally leave again.
However, Ye Jin was still confident in herself. Although the audience's tastes were quite unpredictable and she couldn't guarantee that every drama would be a huge hit, as long as she made the drama seriously, there would always be an audience who could see her dedication.
Of course, aside from official business, in her spare time, Ye Jin also secretly observed Song Miao and Jiang Ye's actions after their triumphant display, to see if they acted like many others...
Refreshing novel
The novel serves as a slap in the face to those who once looked down on them.
It's a pity that novels are just novels; in reality, everyone is very restrained.
Although Song Miao wasn't exactly short of money before, he has now achieved complete financial freedom after selling the copyrights to several books.
Money probably gives people confidence. After frequently going in and out of the world of fame and fortune with the film crew during this period, Song Miao has become accustomed to dealing with wealthy and powerful people and is no longer afraid of the Wan Family. After learning about the plot, she no longer longs for the love of the Wan Family's parents and has completely let go of her obsession with the Wan Family.
She hired a lawyer to sever ties with the Wan Family's parents and completely cut off all contact with the Wan Family.
Although she knew that in the original plot, Wan Shiliu had killed her and that Wan Family's parents had protected her, the incident hadn't actually happened yet. Song Miao was gentle by nature and didn't want to dwell on things that hadn't occurred.
She just wanted to break free from the Wan Family and live her own life properly, after all, she now had readers, friends, and a career.
However, Wan Family's parents remained arrogant and conceited. They thought Song Miao was just being difficult and trying to get their attention, and then they made sarcastic remarks.
In the past, Song Miao would argue with them, but now she simply turns away, organizes the events of the past few years, and posts them on Weibo.
Chapter 50
Although Song Miao's account doesn't have the same level of attention as a celebrity, it still has a considerable following. In addition, she follows many influential KOLs, so her Weibo post received a lot of attention as soon as it was published, with over 10,000 reposts and topping the trending searches.
[Holy crap, this is outrageous! There really are real and fake heiresses in this world, and parents who favor the fake heiress!]
I understand the reluctance to part with a daughter raised for over ten years, but the Wan Family family isn't poor. Couldn't they have treated their biological daughter well after bringing her back?
[It's as if the parents of the Wan Family are under a spell cast by their adopted daughter. Not only do they not feel sorry for their biological daughter who suffered for 18 years, but they also think their biological daughter is ill-mannered, rude, and bullies their adopted daughter. The key point is that even if their biological daughter is really not as good as their adopted daughter, it is still the adopted daughter who stole the life that their biological daughter should have been pampered and cherished.]
[Besides, Song Miao is clearly very outstanding. Even in that kind of environment, she still got into a good university and is now a well-known novelist. The TV series adapted from her novels have all been huge hits. She's much better than that fake heiress who relies on her family's socialite persona.]
[Has no one bothered to investigate the adopted daughter? She seems to have some serious issues.]
[I checked out the fake heiress's personal account, and it's basically all about showing off designer bags, yachts, and parties, with the occasional sentimental comment. She's obviously a shallow, freeloading rich kid.]
[My best friend is in the industry, and they all look down on Wan Shiliu. Besides the fact that she usurped someone else's place and bullied the real heiress, she also likes to flirt with those rich guys. When she gets exposed, she claims they're just like brother and sister. Anyway, she's a pretty sleazy person.]
