Looking at the TV screen, James Murdoch sighed repeatedly: "I always thought that TV series produced by the Chinese would never get out of their small circle, but I didn't expect that Li Xiaole could make this series reach such a height...

...Peter~~Have you noticed...even the background actors behind the camera don't have the small mistakes of the past with full skin and neat clothes that ruined the realism, making people completely unable to enter the play? Instead, all three religions and nine schools are involved.

Everyone has his or her own embodiment, from head to toe, everything is meticulous. That's all. The best thing is the feeling of oil and sweat on the bodies of the lower class citizens... Although the audience cannot analyze these things rationally, they can use their senses

I will tell them directly whether this story is true..."

When James Murdoch said this, he couldn't help but point to the close-up shot of Qiu Chuji fighting with the officers and soldiers on the camera and said: "Pay attention, Peter. Many of his first-person 3D shots are close-ups. You can see a lot with one close-up."

The subtleties, the rust stains on the scabbard of Qiu Chuji's sword, the blood stains remaining on the blade of his sword, and the enemy's hair can be clearly seen... Why do the audience feel that this ridiculous story is real? It is because of these points

Every little detail stacks up to create a feeling...

And this sense of reality is maintained throughout the play, with every detail being realistic. As long as you are a man, you must have a beard, the armor must have scars, the leather must have wear and tear, the sword must have chips, and there must be sweat on the face.

Jin, we want a smoky city, streets full of shit, unkempt people, soldiers who look like wolves and tigers, eyebrows drawn with ashes of vegetation, women painted with lead powder, there is no cruel reality,

Where is the pleasure of competition..."

Petrov listened to James Murdoch's explanation, and the more he looked at the details, the more amazed he became. Although these things are difficult for ordinary people to spot at a glance, they will make everyone in the industry admire them. In the end, he couldn't help but sigh.

He said: "This Li Xiaole... is really... really amazing..."

Two hours passed before you knew it. Whether it was the fitness members waiting to use ibox in the gym or those watching "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" on the sofa in their apartment, they still felt that they were still unfinished. Many people

Only then did he realize that he quickly switched to CBS to watch "CSI", only to find that the subtitles at the end were also being played. They couldn't help but asked in surprise: "How did it happen~ It's already 10 o'clock?"

In the gym, those who were originally not interested in ibox began to queue up to try the first-person "Condor Fighting", and to experience how powerful the Taoist priest named Qiu Chuji on TV was... They were wearing

The glasses were all frightened by the Taoist priest's long sword. Now everyone wants to adjust the game to the lowest difficulty to ravage this Chinese Taoist priest!!

In the TVB conference hall, everyone was looking at the ibox on the far right, the Nielsen ratings survey company's ratings curve. The ratings curve rose straight from the low point of 2 million, and finally the node jumped out at the right time.

It broke the 8.5 million viewership mark~!! Everyone fell into a strange and short silence because of shock. Everyone couldn't believe this fact.

Everyone is speechless. Has the first two episodes exceeded their ultimate target of 8 million people? Has this all-Chinese drama already succeeded in the United States?

"The lowest viewership rating for the second episode was 4.78 million, the highest was 850, and the average viewership rating was 6.89 million. The average bidding advertisement was 20.7 million US dollars every 30 seconds." Zeng Zhiwei reported the latest bidding on the computer with a trembling voice.

After hearing the numbers, everyone took a deep breath.

Li Xiaole, on the other hand, frowned, as if he was not satisfied with the number. Everyone looked at him in shock, but now no one questions how arrogant his attitude is~~! In everyone's heart

The fire was ignited. I don’t know who stood up and applauded. Then, whether it was Black Pearl Company or people from TVB, everyone at the scene stood up and clapped vigorously! Many of them

People even cheered loudly for Li Xiaole: "Great! Director Li!" "This drama is simply incredible~!"

The entire TVB building seemed to be in a state of excitement and ecstasy. You must know that before this, TVB, a giant in the Hong Kong television industry, had experienced a decline in performance for ten consecutive years since the Asian financial crisis in 1997, not only in the Southeast Asian market.

They are retreating steadily. Even the mainland, which was still looking up to Hong Kong ten years ago, does not have the drama king status that "Tian Long Ba Bu" had before to compete with the Spring Festival Gala...

And now that TVB is facing such difficulties, resulting in layoffs every year, Li Xiaole actually brought their works to the North American market, and actually got more than 8 million viewers!? Chinese dramas actually got more than one million viewers in North America.

, or the fourth place in the same period!? Wow...this is simply amazing!!

It's like TVB originally struggled out of the mud, just trying to stand firm and not be swallowed up by the swamp, but Li Xiaole stretched out his hand and took them up to the sky!! This is unbelievable to everyone.

Amidst the applause, Li Xiaole just sat on the bench, holding his chin with one hand and thinking deeply. He actually felt a little dissatisfied in his heart. He had spent so much energy, gathered all the resources, and added so many publicity campaigns, and

With unprecedented 3D effects, the first episode only just surpassed "The Walking Dead"... This was still far behind his expectation that the average viewership of the first episode would exceed 8 million people...

"Damn, it's not even the average of 8 million..." Li Xiaole couldn't help muttering softly, but then he thought about it. Although "The Condor" is excellent, the shooting level is not much higher than that of HBO's "Game of Thrones" in the future.

The first episode of "Game of Thrones" only had less than 2 million viewers on pay channels, but it could reach 8 million on wireless channels. The results are no better than "Game of Thrones"... Alas, he is still too greedy.

…

"Director Li, Director Li~!" While deep in thought, Li Xiaole suddenly heard someone calling his name. He woke up from his deep thoughts and saw an excited Zeng Zhiwei pulling him up. Only then did he pay attention to where he was sitting.

Shao Yifu, who was in a wheelchair, came over, stretched out his trembling hand and squeezed Li Xiaole's shoulder tightly. The centenarian said in a thick Jiangsu and Zhejiang accent: "Well done~~ Well done~~"

His palms were trembling slightly.

"Thank you, Uncle Six. Don't be too excited. Take care of yourself." Li Xiaole quickly stood up and asked Shao Yifu to sit upright to prevent the old man from getting too excited and making any mistakes. Then he saw faces with ecstatic expressions all around him.

, even the always cool Nicholas Tse was shouting out the window, not knowing what he was shouting.

Li Xiaole's mind was a little blank. He didn't seem to feel that he had succeeded. He only felt that this achievement was a matter of course. However, he was crowded with people to shake hands with him one by one and said "thank you" countless times... before he walked out of the conference hall.

And when I took the elevator downstairs with Eric Tsang, I just stepped into the lobby on the first floor of the TVB building, and I saw rows of people standing on both sides. When they saw him coming, they all applauded solemnly.

Li Xiaole was stunned for a moment, but he immediately recognized a few of them. They were the TVB extras he met when he and Cheng Long and Zeng Zhiwei were eating on the street. These people seemed to be students in the TVB actor training class.

.

"Director Li, they just watched "The Condor" in the staff hall and heard about the ratings in the United States... If you have to come over, I can't stop you..." A staff member explained with sweat on his head.

.

"It's okay." Li Xiaole waved his hand to indicate that it was okay. Seeing the sincere respect in the eyes of more than a hundred Hong Kong young people standing in two rows, and the fanatical admiration in his heart, he felt very strange...

He still remembers that when he first came to TVB and discussed cooperation, these young people in Hong Kong respected and admired Eric Tsang and Cheng Long, but were wary and hostile to him as a mainland director. He understood that this was related to his status and reputation as a director.

It has nothing to do with it. This is the natural superiority of these Hong Kong young people towards him, a mainlander... They are unwilling to admit that they are superior to the legendary directors who represent the pride of Hong Kong people. They even feel that they are here to bask in the halo of their Hong Kong superstars.

, Li Xiaole thought unhappily in his heart at that time, if he were an American director, would these young people still think of him like this with his current status?

And tonight, after "The Condor" was played, he felt that these young people looked at him in a completely different way. This group of young people who he had not been impressed by every American movie were finally led by him.

He was impressed by the feat of helping Hong Kong elites enter the North American market. The eyes of these young people no longer looked at him with hostility and suspicion, but with admiration and admiration for a strong man. Li Xiaole couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions in his heart, and slowly...

Walking through the crowd, enjoying their thunderous applause.

Walking out of the TVB lobby under the eyes of reverence, Li Xiaole couldn't help but turn around and smile at Zeng Zhiwei and sighed: "Brother Zeng, you know, in fact, one of my biggest dreams when I was young was to enter the wireless industry like them.

Actor training class..."

"Happy..." Zeng Zhiwei's "lucky boy" was halfway through shouting, and immediately changed his tone seriously: "Director Li, don't be ridiculous, you can come to TVB training classes to teach in the future, it will be the greatest blessing for those boys..."

When Zeng Zhiwei said this, he couldn't help but pinched Li Xiaole's arm with excitement and said: "Director Li, you know...I never thought in my life that I would have a work screened in the North American market. I didn't expect that now it's here."

At this age, I actually have this opportunity~~ As an old guy, I really didn’t waste my time in this circle..."

Li Xiaole felt Zeng Zhiwei's excitement and nodded. Looking at the starry sky, he felt an extremely smooth feeling in his chest. This feeling was not the same as the previous joy of success, but more practical and satisfying. This feeling

Not only did he feel that he had realized his dream this time, but he also made many of his childhood idols realize their dreams. The United States, which was once out of reach, had finally had its door closed to Chinese people opened by a heavy hammer.
