Exploring the Entertainment Circle [Ancient and Modern]

The online broadcast platform of "Dongxia Dongjun and the Witch" is naturally the producer Blueberry Video Network.These are its own eggs, packed in the best baskets of course.

In order to ensure the ratings of satellite TV, even if it is the so-called synchronization of the Internet and the channel, the online video must be broadcast later than that of Changjing Satellite TV.Long Whale Satellite TV premiered at 22:00, and Blueberry Video Network delayed two hours, and released two episodes at 00:00 that night.

Many people who were unable to watch live TV (such as college dormitory parties, or jet lag) also watched the episodes of Blueberry Video Network for the first time.After watching it, they all actively howled on various social platforms: The first two episodes are so good!Patting his thigh and crying bitterly, he said: These days, the special effects are not embarrassing, the characters stand upright, the story is told clearly, and the costume martial arts dramas that are not worth [-] cents in the later stage... are so rare.

Ceramics said: It's really not that we are wearing filters to praise idols, but that apart from the charm of idols, it is another new work after "Queen of Guining", which can be sold by selling Amway to relatives and friends.

Of course, Du Yue's fans have the most fans of the actors in this show.In the two episodes yesterday, the heroine came out with a memory kill. However, while Du Yue's fans were licking the goddess, they also changed their tacit voice that "Tao Qingfeng is not worthy of my goddess" in the past.

Originally, Du Yue had no shortage of stocks. Even if this suppressed third-rate martial arts drama was silently played, her fans didn't care. They even wanted to let it hit the street, so as to reduce the negative impact of "the goddess played a bad movie" to the lowest mind.

But people have eyes. They watched the first episode out of courtesy, and suddenly found that they not only have the identity of "fan participant", but also a "pure audience participant" that seems to have been forgotten for a long time Their identities are activated—they want to watch it, not just for anyone, but simply want to watch it.

So they withdrew their previous intentions of disliking Tao Qingfeng openly and secretly. In fact, after Tao Qingfeng published Mei Wangxue's short essay "Plum Blossoms Searching for Dreams-Innocence in Leading Flowers", many insightful fans naturally knew about Tao Qingfeng. Level, there is no problem at all.But some less sensible fans are still easily instigated by Heizi.Now even this last trace of dissonance has dissolved.

After all, the show is good-looking, and it makes fans feel more at ease, happy and looking forward to it than any guarantee.

According to the request of the propagandist, Tao Qingfeng gave it to Changjing Satellite TV.Blueberry Video Network has recorded blessing VCR, to the effect that please support the drama a lot.His VCR also flashed as an ad when it premiered yesterday.

Under the Weibo of this VCR promotional video, colleagues in Tao Qingfeng's circle also sent their blessings.

Zhang Fenghao forwarded it and said: It’s really not an advertisement. Yesterday my wife saw it occasionally and didn’t change the channel. Niuniu should have gone to bed early and didn’t go to bed... So Zhang Fenghao’s Buddhist fans joked while eating Amway: Please Changjing Satellite TV Switch the broadcast and give their little princess a peaceful and early sleep.

Shazhou and Tao Qingfeng still have a "Schrödinger" friendship in marketing, and yesterday happened to be the premiere of "Front Face Beauty". Shazhou fans saw their opponent Zuo Yulong's large-scale marketing and buying hot search in the square, and they immediately fought in a ring Follow the idol to support Tao Qingfeng, whether it is sincere or to suppress the opponent, he will forward it spontaneously and mightily, while saying: "Zuo Yulong's drama is so ugly, and Kou Yunhong is a flower for nothing. Changjing Satellite TV should be down." Come here and put "The Witch" in prime time.

In fact, this is really not a joke or an angry remark among fans.Yesterday, the person in charge of the ratings supervision of Long Whale Satellite TV gathered the ratings every day, and then held a simple departmental meeting. The idea of ​​changing gears appeared for the first time at the meeting.

At the meeting, he first asked the director of the film purchasing department how much he watched the film reviewer when he bought the film "Dongjun and the Witch".

The director of the purchase department said that it was Du Yue, the traffic floret, who brought this film to the negotiating table for broadcasting.At the time of contact, the reviewers randomly picked five episodes to watch.At that time, the special effects, post-production, and dubbing hadn't been done yet, but I was still pleasantly surprised to feel that it had "quality that can be broadcast on TV."So I bought it at a mid-range price of 8000 million.Compared with its fame and production, this price is very kind.You have to know how many second- and third-rate dramas there are throughout the year. They would rather sell the dramas to satellite TV at a lower price, as long as they are willing to accept them.But Satellite TV is not an idiot. Instead of buying low-quality dramas at a low price and throwing them in their hands, and broadcasting them to ruin its reputation, Satellite TV is more willing to spend more money to buy dramas that are "deeply popular with audiences" at first glance: its evaluation Criteria include but are not limited to: high popularity of stars, famous directors, great productions, etc.

Therefore, although "The Hero and the Witch" still has natural flaws in the eyes of the film reviewers-the starring Tao Qingfeng is too transparent.The screenwriter and director are also unknown, so shabby that Tao Qingfeng came to name him.They didn't have time to review all the content, and they were already able to feel the sincerity of the film in the limited episodes, so they agreed to buy it, and tried to set the file with students as a group (the reason for making such a judgment is a It is Tao Qingfeng who looks like a "beautiful boy", and Du Yue is also a trafficker. Thirdly, martial arts dramas have declined in recent years, so I think the main selling point of this movie is youthful beauty, which is exactly what young people like.)

However, shortly before the broadcast of Long Whale Satellite TV, when the staff responsible for editing the promotional film watched all the TV series that had been produced from the beginning, they accidentally discovered that "Dongxia Dongjun and the Witch" was very good-looking and could not be stopped. However, the time was too urgent and there was no time. Report your impressions, and the film will be released in the middle of the night.At the same time, they watched the feature film while editing the promotional video of "Beauty on the Frontier", and the comparison made them feel: "Beauty on the Frontier" is a flashy show, and the pre-marketing campaign was overrated.In name, Kou Yunhong's first sister came back to make a big production, an urban drama with brain-burning themes of industry elites, but in fact it was to praise Zuo Yulong, a starlet who didn't seem to have activated the skill of "actor" even though he was on the rise.

The irony is that Zuo Yulong broke the contract in "The Witch of the Eastern King" and went to play "The Beauty at the Front".

After the people from the propaganda team and review team of Long Whale Satellite TV finished talking about the situation, the person in charge of the satellite TV nodded and said: "At present, it seems that the ratings of "Ganxia Dongjun and the Witch" in the late-night file are stable. But "Front Beauty" is What's going on? How could the first episode drive away customers like this? Why didn't you be more careful when making the promotional video and editing the first episode?"

Satellite TV will try to edit the TV series as concisely as possible before broadcasting.The person from the propaganda department smiled wryly: "A clever woman...it's hard to cook without rice."

Editing can only eliminate redundancy, but it cannot conjure up a broken plot out of thin air. "Beauty on the Frontier" has several scene transitions and jumps, and the context has no warning, which is also the reason for the sharp drop in ratings.Because the audience is very confused.

God knows when the final film was received shortly before the broadcast, and when they started rushing to work on publicity, the employees of these publicity departments watched the first episode of "Front Beauty", and their hearts were filled with such fucking emotions. The feeling of "folks and elders".However, it is up to the leader to decide which movie to play, and the leader is responsible for the blame.They dare not have more BBs.

Now, the leader of the hindsight is also churning with a group of grass and mud horses: When I bought "Front Face Beauty", I watched a particularly amazing ten-minute long film, and was fooled by the skillful film. Now it seems that the film is a "cheat" Flowers"... On the contrary, "The Heroes of the East and the Witch" didn't even have a serious director, and it didn't finish the post-production at that time. Naturally, there were no earth-shattering films, and all the films that were sent were only semi-finished films. , he had to draw lots to watch the middle episodes.

The person in charge of Long Whale Satellite TV was very sad: Although the ratings of the late-night file are good, it is good to be happy, but the main force of the annual championship is still the golden file.If "Beauty on the Frontier" is still so unsatisfactory, the average ratings of Long Whale will be lowered, and the throne of the year will be missed... It's very worrying, what should I do?

The person in charge of Long Whale Satellite TV thought: Otherwise, put "The Hero and the Witch" into prime time?This increased ratings must be more advantageous than the late-night file... But such a big thing will face a series of unknowable difficulties and turmoil in operation.

The person in charge of Long Whale Satellite TV sighed, put down this idea for the time being, and decided to watch a few more episodes, hoping that the plot behind "Front Face Beauty" will be up to date...

On other platforms on the Internet, the word-of-mouth of "The Hero and the Witch" continues to grow steadily.

When any TV series starts broadcasting, as long as the leading actor has a slight sense of presence in the entertainment circle, it will attract attention.So Du Yue and Bai Yiyi's "Dongjun Witch" is naturally also on the Yueyu platform and Haijiao forum, "the new martial arts drama "Dongjun Witch", has anyone watched it to talk about it? ?How about it?"

This post was posted on Haijiao Forum, where there are a lot of entertainment and gossip. The most smoky thing in the past two days was Zuo Yulong's fan-black battle, which was very noisy due to the controversy of "Front Face Beauty"."Ugly", "ugly refusal", "embarrassing" and "reasonable discussions about what Kou Yunhong was deposed" have become hot topics from time to time.

"The Hero and the Witch" was initially taken as a position by the traffic niche's black, and they stirred up the muddy water like "this movie is much better" and "it can't even compare to this kind of drama", but gradually, I really watched it People from the show and those who don't know the truth also joined the discussion, and began to chat seriously about the good things about this film, guessing the plot trend.On the contrary, it gradually covered up the black and white information of other houses.

Among these voices, not many directly discussed Tao Qingfeng himself.Even if there is, I'm still surprised when I re-read, why is his name listed in the column of director and screenwriter? Is it the same name or Tao Qingfeng can write, direct and act by himself?The most heated discussion: the story itself.

How will Yu Shanhai assassinate his father, how will Yu Shanhai and Luo Langning meet each other.Will it be broadcast in the two episodes tonight.This harmonious discussion focused on the content itself, so many people who originally clicked in to watch the fun of fans unexpectedly found that they were discussing interesting things so calmly.With all sorts of intentions, these people also clicked on the first two episodes of "The Witch" to watch—

So the number of people chasing dramas increased again.

Tao Qingfeng didn't know the entanglement of Changjing Satellite TV, and he didn't know how it looked in the eyes of passers-by. He could only come into contact with the excited voice of Ceramics who left messages on Weibo to cheer him up.Now that he sees fans praising him, he won't be embarrassed anymore, but he won't be complacent about it either. He has developed a mentality of not being surprised.Take those encouragements as the direction for him to continue to work hard.

In fact, Tao Qingfeng hadn't watched the complete episodes of "The Witch of the Eastern King". If it weren't for his work needs these two days, he really wanted to watch the drama he acted in front of the TV.

In the past two days, Tao Qingfeng heard from the economic man that the director of the new drama "Far Mountains and Deep Earth" has already gone to live in the countryside.

The shooting location of this film is not in the film and television city, but in the real countryside.Estimated launch time is one month later.Tao Qingfeng asked the company to find out why the director left so early, and did he need any cooperation?

After a while, Tao Qingfeng discovered that the director had added him on WeChat, which should be a business card sent by the company.After Tao Qingfeng passed, before he had time to say hello, the director said politely but bluntly:

——"If the leading actor is willing, please come and experience life as soon as possible."

Tao Qingfeng replied "Yes" in seconds without hesitation.

The director over there was stunned for a while, and then sent a message to locate, saying: This is the village.

The prototype of the story of "Far Mountains and Deep Earth" is a poor village named Tanghan in Huaguo.They are so poor that "there is no papyrus for giving birth, and the children are born in the ash heap", and they barely survive on traditional agriculture.However, a heavy rain and mudslide two years ago completely destroyed the villagers' few assets.Infinity and poverty, empty-handed.

Poor to the end, difficult to the end, poor to change.The village party secretary led the small number of laborers in the village (most of the young and middle-aged people went out to work, and this is also a typical "empty shell village", leaving only the elderly and children), and took the road of collectivization of the whole village's group development.

In just two years, a seemingly impossible miracle has been achieved on the land of China: the scale of collective funds in the village has reached more than [-] million yuan, rows of new cement houses, and earth-shaking changes in life in the new countryside...

Tao Qingfeng was very surprised after hearing the introduction.What exactly caused such a change?

This is also the reason why he decided to listen to the director's call and live there one month in advance.

The village that the director sent to locate is Xuegui Village, a neighboring village of Tanghan Village, which is also a typical empty shell poverty village.In the early stage, I filmed dilapidated and poor scenes in this village, and later moved to Tanghan Village to film the changes in the new countryside.Now the director lives in Xuegui Village to collect materials.

Tao Qingfeng drove over with Su Xun and Xu Rongrong, and when they were two kilometers away from the village, the road was closed to traffic.Tao Qingfeng asked Su Xun to drive the car back.He and Xu Rongrong walked into the village.The road was muddy with pits and creases from motorcycles. After walking for about a kilometer, two rural women carrying poles came in front of them. Tao Qingfeng was stunned when he saw Tao Qingfeng's face.

"Who are you looking for?" There were only a hundred people from the village, and Tao Qingfeng's handsome appearance certainly wasn't those kids who went out in the early years, they must be looking for someone from outside.

"I'm here to find Director Kang." Before Tao Qingfeng introduced the situation in detail, the two rural women showed simple and honest smiles: "Oh, I'm looking for the director's eldest sister, no wonder she is so foreign, she lives in the village office There."

Tao Qingfeng thanked him and continued to move forward, Xu Rongrong asked in surprise, "The Director Kang of this film...is a woman?"

Tao Qingfeng just added WeChat, whose profile picture is a tree.Tao Qingfeng only read the director's resume before, but he really didn't notice that she was a woman.Actresses in the entertainment industry are like crucian carp, but there are only a handful of female directors.

Tao Qingfeng said: "I just found out too. Let's go."

Tao Qingfeng followed the directions to Xuegui's village office, but he didn't see Director Kang for the time being. According to the village party secretary, she went to investigate the collective industrial park in Tanghan next door and would not be back until evening.

After Tao Qingfeng introduced himself, the village party secretary said, "He's a star. It's been hard work coming here. Let's eat something first, it's nothing good." Tao Qingfeng's shoes and trouser legs were covered with mud.The village party secretary asked his wife to cook some dishes for them.Bacon sausage looks oily.

Tao Qingfeng ate very calmly, but Xu Rongrong didn't like fatty meat very much, and was too embarrassed to throw it away in front of the village party secretary.Tao Qingfeng took the initiative to help her eat all the fat in the bowl.Then the village party secretary took them to the office to put their luggage.

The so-called village office is actually two houses for empty nesters. Their sons and daughters-in-law are all out to work.The family lives above, and the guests live below.

Tao Qingfeng and Xu Rongrong lived in two rooms respectively, and rested after putting away their luggage.Tao Qingfeng found that the mobile phone information here is also very weak, and the network is almost non-existent.He was thinking about the intention of Director Kang when he suddenly heard a scream from Xu Rongrong next door.

Tao Qingfeng hurriedly knocked on the door of the neighboring room, Xu Rongrong ran out of the room screaming, trembling: "Rat!"

Just as he was talking, a mouse with a slender tail quickly walked out from the crack of the door, and jumped over in a panic.Tao Qingfeng calmly stretched out his hand to protect Xu Rongrong who had already hid behind him, and let the mouse slip away from his feet and into the field ridge with a blank expression.

Xu Rongrong broke down and asked: "Why do you look like you are not afraid at all, Little Tao?"

Tao Qingfeng smiled and said, "I used to get used to it."

In his previous life, when Tao Qingfeng was studying in the countryside, he often saw voles. At that time, Tao Qingfeng drove them away while reciting "Book of Songs: Shuo Rats." So Tao Qingfeng is not afraid of this kind of animal.

Xu Rongrong panicked: "I don't dare to sleep in it anymore, I'm so scared."

Tao Qingfeng thought for a while and said, "Rongrong, why don't you go back. I'll call Su Xun to drive back. Now that the situation in the village is known, you can go back and report for me."

Xu Rongrong said weakly: "But you are here alone..."

Tao Qingfeng said with a smile: "From the introduction of the village party secretary, that director Kang didn't have an assistant. And it hasn't been turned on yet. This is not considered a formal job. I'm equivalent to coming here for vacation, so you don't have to follow along."

Xu Rongrong originally wanted to say that no one would come to such a poor place for vacation, but she was tortured by the temptation to go back, and finally agreed.

Tao Qingfeng sent Xu Rongrong back to the side of the main road two kilometers away. When the car came to pick him up, Xu Rongrong said to Su Xun: "...there is really no one living there, why don't you persuade little brother Tao, let's go back together Come on. Why suffer here?"

Tao Qingfeng heard her words, shook his head and said, "The luggage is still in the village. You can go. I have already made a decision."

Xu Rongrong had no choice but to get in the car and go with Su Xun. When Tao Qingfeng turned his head to go back to the village on the muddy motorcycle driveway, he saw a woman with a camera not far away, standing on the side of the muddy road and looking at him thoughtfully. .

Tao Qingfeng looked at the camera and said, "Excuse me, Director Kang? I thought you would come back at night."

Kang Xueying is 32 years old this year, which is considered very young in the director circle. She debuted for seven years and has made an independent low-budget film, a commercial anti-Japanese drama, and a report type documentary.A small-budget film was shortlisted for the Best New Director Award, but it didn't really win the award in the end.Documentaries have won awards.This is her fourth independent directorial film.

Kang Xueying and Tao Qingfeng shook hands: "Mr. Tao."

After Tao Qingfeng came here, he hadn't been called "Sir" by the director, so he quickly said, "Director Kang can just call me Qingfeng."

Kang Xueying said to Tao Qingfeng straight to the point: "Okay, then I won't see you, Qingfeng, do you know why you are the leading actor in this movie?"

Tao Qingfeng shook his head and said, "I don't know, I thought the company talked about it."

"It's indeed your company that talked about it. But I was the one who came to the door." Kang Xueying looked at Tao Qingfeng's surprised look, and said, "You must be wondering why I came to you because I have never met you before." Kang Xueying showed a hint With a deep smile, "You were filming "East Return to West Crossing" with Ni Ting before. After the crew broke up, Ni Ting severely slandered you and Xia Xinghen in his circle of friends."

Tao Qingfeng didn't know there was such a thing.

Kang Xueying showed a sneering smile: "I already have experience, and those who are slandered by people like him are probably good seedlings. I can't afford to cooperate with Xia Xinghen. But after asking about your situation, I will go to your entertainment The company handed over the notebook."

Tao Qingfeng didn't expect such an ins and outs, and said in embarrassment: "That's really... thanks to your high opinion."

Kang Xueying asked Tao Qingfeng again: "I saw that car just now, why did you send the assistant away?"

Tao Qingfeng said: "The little girl is not used to it. If she is frightened or tired, it is not convenient for me, a grown man, to take care of her."

There was a hint of admiration secretly in Kang Xueying's eyes, and Tao Qingfeng walked along the muddy ridge to the village, saying as they walked: "The other side of the road that can be driven leads to Tanghan Village, which has been lifted out of poverty. They built it by themselves. Yes. The conditions in Tanghan Village are much better. Vigorous, with hundreds of brightly colored houses, a modern industrial park, and even an open-air national cultural square... But in fact, two years ago, Tanghan Village was much more beautiful than what you see now. Gui Village is still poor and dilapidated. We will live there after a while. You can think about the reason for this change first."

The author has something to say: One of the signs of Qingfeng's success: having a reliable young lady (just kidding).
