"Ci of the Ming Dynasty" is an extremely classic costume TV series. For many costume works in later generations, it is even unreachable.

Even if they watch "Daming Palace Ci" again twenty years later, many people will find it a wonderful experience.

"Ci of the Ming Dynasty" is different from the superficial and bright themes of most ancient costume works of later generations. Instead, it explores the life course of Chinese women over thousands of years from a philosophical perspective.

The strong brilliance of feminism makes this TV series almost a swan song.

It is soft and beautiful, sad but not sad. Its beauty and sorrow, moving and complex, are beyond the reach of most TV dramas today.

Li Shaohong photographed this period of history with a very peaceful perspective. It can be said that "Ci of Daming Palace" uses words other than the camera to reproduce the unique humanistic splendor of the prosperous Tang Dynasty that is different from any other dynasty.

Of course, there are good things and bad things.

The underworld style of "A Dream in a Mansion" has already been initially reflected in this drama, which is a characteristic of Li Shaohong's direction.

She made her debut in crime dramas such as "Bloody Morning", so she has a lot of personal characteristics.

This made Ye Fan feel that if there are suspenseful and scary film and television dramas such as "The Legend of Pen" and "White Night" in the future, she can do it.

It's not impossible for her to be the assistant director of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". Let her make the camera and soundtrack so sinister that the horror atmosphere can definitely be filled!

In addition, Empress Wu, who is remembered as ruthless and ruthless, clearly shows the sensitivity and weakness of women in this drama, which is not in line with the public's senses.

Moreover, in order to cater to the overall character of the play, many of the men in the play are too feminine, which does not fit well with people's impression of men in the Tang Dynasty.

This play is also controversial in terms of lines. The "Hamlet" style long monologue is the audience's common evaluation of the lines in this play. Audiences above middle age cannot accept this "very abnormal" way of speaking.

.

In order to innovate, Li Shaohong specially hired two young screenwriters to write the script. However, these two editors happened to be immersed in Shakespeare's style and couldn't help themselves, and the lines they wrote were very modern and "Shakespearean".

Li Shaohong did not agree with their writing at first, saying that they would not be able to continue writing until later, but the two editors insisted.

Li Shaohong had no choice but to agree to them, but later they really couldn't continue writing and ran away.

Fortunately, they only ran away for a day before being found by Li Shaohong, who made some adjustments, and then they had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue writing.

Therefore, what the two screenwriters wrote themselves was a bit broken. Such a style is destined to have great criticism and controversy.

But those who like it feel that the style and lines of the TV series are very unique, and watching it can improve their own taste.

People who don't like it will think this drama is very boring and not good to watch...

Although Ye Fan's salary for starring in the drama "Ci of the Ming Dynasty" was very low, except for Chen Liang's family, he gained quite a lot in other areas.

First of all, this drama has a lot of veteran actors, and their acting skills are very good. Li Shaohong and his wife are also very good at directing and training the actors.

This allowed Ye Fan to consult and learn from many people during the filming process to help him improve his acting skills. This is why Chang Li agreed to let him go. A good crew can still be of great help to actors.

As of November 5, the October sales of "Jingjue Ancient City" have been calculated, with 1.216 million copies sold across Asia.

The domestic eleventh period is still somewhat useful in increasing the sales of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". Coupled with the release of "Longling Labyrinth", the sales of "Jingjue Ancient City" have rebounded a bit.

Including 1.073 million copies in September, a total of 2.289 million copies of "Jingjue Ancient City" were sold in September and October, bringing Ye Fan an income of 17.65 million yuan.

Since the release of "Jingjue Ancient City", a total of 6.889 million copies have been sold across Asia!

On November 6, Zhang Zhenyue released a new album "Secret Base".

The two songs "Love Me Don't Go" and "The First Experience of Love" in his new album have made him a dark horse in the current Chinese music scene and a hit in the Hong Kong and Taiwan music circles.

On November 7, "Hong Kong Island Princess" Chen Huiling released a new album "Love Me or Not".

On November 8, Anita Mui released her new album "Moonlight in front of the Bed".

Anita Mui has been seeking breakthroughs, and this is even more obvious on this album. Her style in this album interprets the ever-changing image of a mysterious and beautiful woman.

But as for the album’s sales, it can only be said to be average.

Moreover, the title song of this album, "Moonlight Before the Bed", also has a strong Chinese style flavor. However, because of Ye Fan's "Chinese style", which was auditioned in advance and became a big hit, the album received mixed reviews.

After Ye Fan listened to "Moonlight Before the Bed", he could only say that this song sounded more mellow, and had more traditional charm than his "Chinese style" combined with pop music, and seemed closer to the ancient times in people's minds.

Anita Mui also appeared on the 1999 Spring Festival Gala with this song, but her performance on stage was a huge turn-off. To say that her style has been controversial is considered a good thing.

Of course, this was related to her poor physical condition, and Ye Fan understood it very well, but Anita Mui herself was definitely not satisfied, and for other reasons, she never attended the Spring Festival Gala before she "left."

This is also very regrettable, so that people can no longer see her, and only remember her performance on the 1999 Spring Festival Gala stage.

It was only in later generations that people discovered that "Moonlight Before the Bed" was not bad, but that it was too advanced and could be called a classic.

On November 10th, "Pheasant Brother" released a new album "Everyone Loves You", and the song "God, Save Me" made him the second dark horse!

Neither Zhang Chenyue nor Chen Xiaochun have very good vocal conditions, but there are still people in the Hong Kong and Taiwan music circles who can write songs that are suitable for them to sing, and they can also be popular. It can only be said that there are really many creative talents in the Hong Kong and Taiwan music circles at this time.

As of November 12, the third-month sales of "Light Chaser" have also been calculated, with 2.236 million copies sold worldwide, including 775,000 domestic copies, 537,000 copies sold in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and 924,000 copies sold in overseas countries.

Sales in Europe and the United States have declined, with only more than 50,000 copies sold.

The reason for the low sales is that "Light Chaser" is being sold as a whole, and there is only one English song in it, so the price-performance ratio is very low for English-speaking countries.

It was not that Warner had not persuaded Ye Fan to sell "Light Years Away" as a single, but Ye Fan refused.

Ye Fan also wants to use an all-English album to compete for the Newcomer Award and other awards in European and American music awards. If he releases a single and sells it at this time, doesn't he count as debuting in the European and American music circles with English songs? How much of a disadvantage would he suffer?

Anyway, there is only one English song. As long as Ye Fan doesn't release the single, he will insist that it is a Chinese album, and the mainstream people and media in the European and American music circles will not be able to talk about it.

Even if you really have objections, they are still controversial at best. Isn’t that just thick-skinned? Do you still care about this when you are in the entertainment industry?

Especially when dealing with people from European and American countries, you have to compete with them to see who is more shameless!

The October sales of "Light Chaser" brought Ye Fan an income of more than 55 million yuan. Adding the income of more than 76.38 million yuan in September, Ye Fan could earn 131 million yuan in September and October alone.

If you add in the share of more than 80 million yuan in the first month, then Ye Fan's income from this album has exceeded 200 million!

Moreover, "Light Chaser" has sold a total of 9.358 million copies worldwide since its release. Now it can be said that its sales volume will exceed 10 million in November.

Zhang Xing, Xu Zhongmin and Xu Zhiwei are all very excited. They are now counting sales once a day and are waiting to announce this amazing achievement when the sales volume reaches 10 million.

Zhang Xing has informed Ye Fan that after the sales of "Light Chaser" exceed 10 million, the company and Warner Bros. are planning to hold a celebration banquet for him to celebrate "sales exceeding 10 million".

Ye Fan did not refuse this. Just because he could control his emotions did not mean that others could be calm, especially since his album had gained some fame in the European and American music circles.

So they wanted to celebrate and release their happy emotions, but Ye Fan couldn't pour cold water on them.

On November 15th, EASON released a new album "I Know Better Than Anyone".

On this day, all the post-production of "Savage Girl" was completed. On the Mainland side, Wang Jinghua was responsible for submitting the film for review, striving to get the approval as soon as possible.

Ye Fan happened to be filming at the Beijing Film Studio, so he informed Mr. Han of the news and asked him to work hard in order to make "Savage Girl" pass the review without any cuts.

Master Han naturally agreed wholeheartedly, but he also mentioned the film distribution to Ye Fan, and he was really not willing to suffer at all!

In order to become a shareholder of Bo Na in the future, Ye Fan of course agreed immediately, and under the introduction of Mr. Han, he met his younger brother Yu Dong, the future head of Bo Na!

Yu Dong was still a little cautious when he saw Ye Fan. After all, Ye Fan was now a brother-in-law with Mr. Han. Although he was older than Ye Fan, the status difference between the two was too big.

Even without Mr. Han, Ye Fan is not only famous, but he is also the boss of a film and television company. If he wants to get the distribution rights for films produced by Chaoyang Company, he also wants Ye Fan.

Ye Fan knew what he was talking about, chatted with him for a few words, and promised Yu Dong that if he released "Savage Girl" with good results, he would also let him handle the domestic distribution rights for "Infernal Affairs".

This made Yu Dongna very excited. With the release of two movies, he could earn at least millions. This amount can be described as an astronomical figure for Yu Dong now.

Mr. Han was also very happy to hear this, and was very satisfied with Ye Fan's knowledge and interest. If Yu Dong makes money, Beijing Film Studio can also get a share of it, so that his political achievements this year will be very good.

Ye Fan looked at the happy smiling faces of the two people and also smiled. As long as they were happy, it would be fine. Ye Fan had a huge appetite for Boyi shares!
