Princess is Glamorous in Modern Day Novel - Chapter 1394

1394 Amazing Premiere of the TV Series

Xia Wanyuan was already the most popular female celebrity in China and had countless fans. Although everyone was worried that the quality of “Under the Sky” was not satisfactory, as their idol’s directorial debut, the fans were looking forward to it.

However, overseas, Xia Wanyuan had relatively fewer fans. Most of them were anti-fans who hated her.

Because she was now the representative figure of China and had broken the shackles of Chinese culture alone, to foreigners who hoped for China to decline, they naturally hated Xia Wanyuan.

Seeing that the television drama was about to be released, a large number of criticisms came towards “Under the Sky”. There were even relevant votes on many forums.

!!
“Come, come, come. Let’s take a walk and guess what viewership ratings Xia Wanyuan’s virgin product can achieve to break the overlord status of ‘Ice’.”

[As a veteran fan, I can only say that I really hope that China’s movies and television dramas can compare to international standards. But to be honest, the quality of our artistic works can’t compare to other countries’, okay?]

[ Actually, I think with Xia Wanyuan’s previous standards, the quality of this television drama can be rest assured. The viewership ratings probably won’t be bad, but it’s a little impossible to surpass “Ice”. ]

[ “Ice” has been accumulated for five years and has a huge influence worldwide. Can there be a movie in China that foreigners are familiar with? They still want to surpass… If they can reach half of their standards, I’m willing to give Xia Wanyuan a thumbs up. ]

At this moment, at the premiere of “Under the Sky”, Xia Wanyuan was sitting in the middle of the podium as the director.

It was time for the media to ask questions. After the reporters asked a lot of questions about the plot of the television drama, someone finally could not help but stand up.

“I have a question for Director Xia. You should have seen the debate online about this television drama, right? I wonder what you think of ‘Ice’ and ‘Under the Sky’? Do you think your television drama can surpass classics?”

When this sharp question was asked, the staff immediately stood up and prepared to help Xia Wanyuan block this question.

However, Xia Wanyuan gently waved her hand, signaling the staff to retreat. She opened the microphone. “I did pay attention to this problem. Everyone has different opinions about works. As long as it can make the audience like it, why can’t they be a classic parallel”

The reporter saw the controversy in Xia Wanyuan’s question. “Classic parallelism? You mean, you think your work can become a classic?”

Xia Wanyuan smiled. “It’s not up to me. It’s up to the audience.”

Media reporters were the best at dancing and writing.

The comments that were quite normal at the interview had spread to the entire Internet after the media fermented.

“Xia Wanyuan said that ‘Ice’ and ‘Under the Sky’ are classic parallels.”

Seeing this news, the domestic netizens felt that it was too arrogant, let alone the foreign network with the most fans of “Ice”.

Countless foreign netizens regarded “Ice” as their number one masterpiece. Now, an unknown director actually said that her work was as classic as “Ice”?

The netizens on the Internet could not take it anymore. They began to scroll through the topic “Who is Under the Sky” to mock the television drama.

[ I’m dying of laughter. I’ve watched “Ice” for five years. May I ask where this “Sky” came from? ]

[I have to watch “Under the Sky” today. I want to see which television drama is so shameless to want to ride on the popularity of our “Ice”.]

[ You’re all scolding Xia Wanyuan. I just want to say something silently. Don’t you think Xia Wanyuan is a magical person? Do you really think she can’t film a television drama well?? I vaguely remember that you scolded her like this in the previous Moon Bay project. ]

The occasional positive comments were drowned by the huge mocking army. Amidst the various controversies of the netizens, it gradually reached eight in the evening.

This time happened to be the time when “Ice” was broadcasted, and it was also the time when “Under the Sky” would premiere in China.

Due to the fact that there had been too many topics about these two television dramas recently, everyone, whether they liked to watch television or not, leaned towards the screen that night, wanting to see how a winner would be determined between the two television dramas.

Under everyone’s fervent expectations, the television drama began.

“Ice” continued its usual epic style and was a familiar style to the audience.

“Under the Sky” had an obvious oriental cultural style. The ink spread out, and smoke curled around. The Yaotai Immortal Mountain, the magnificent and beautiful Nine Heavens Palace, occupied the audience’s eyes immediately.

There were quite a lot of deity-martial art television dramas in China, so the audience was already very familiar with scenes like the Heavenly Palace. However, when they saw the set of “Under the Sky”, the audience’s first reaction was.

F*ck, this funding burned ten million yuan a second?!!

In the past, in order to save money, the production team would basically choose a simple long shot and then use special effects to build a close-up. Although the current technology could almost be faked, it still lacked some meaning.

However, “Under the Sky” was different. Xia Wanyuan wanted to complete a work without considering the cost. In addition, the special effects company of this television drama was under the Xiafeng Group. There was no problem of cutting corners to save money.

The phoenix cried out and dragged the flames across the towering palace. The Nine Heavens Palace was endless. The camera swept over. In such a vast scene, no detail was treated perfunctorily. A tree, a flower, all of them seemed to have appeared alive in front of everyone.

[ F*ck, I’m shocked by this special effect. Is this really a special effect that our Chinese television drama can have??? I was just amazed next door. I thought that the one next door was already amazing enough, but from the looks of it, it seems that our country’s television drama is even more amazing? ]

[As expected of a television drama filmed by the wife of the richest man. Good lord, this is directly thrown with money, right? What’s the use of good special effects? If the plot isn’t good, it’s still useless. A flashy television drama is still better than the one next door.]

[I don’t understand. Why are you so good at arguing? The television drama has only been broadcasted for three minutes, and you’re already saying that the plot isn’t good?? Do you know how to calculate? Then why don’t you calculate when your lousy mouth will be beaten up?]
