Rebirth of Super Red Star

In 20 days, the [-]-episode TV series "I Am a Soldier" came to an end.

No more miracles happened, and the final audience rating of 13.13% stayed at No.6 in the annual TV drama ratings list, which disappointed the media who were waiting for the dark horse to go all the way to the end.

But this feeling of disappointment didn't last long. As the TV series began to air for the second round, the ratings exposed were once again blinding people's eyes.The effective ratings of the first four episodes were 10.17%, which was much higher than that in the first round, making everyone who knew the news exclaim in disbelief.

In the second round and the third round, the upsurge continued.By the time this TV show completely subsided, it was already the spring of the following year. Counting on my fingers, "I Am a Soldier" had a ratings of 13.13% in the first round, 11.17% in the second round, and 13.16% in the third round. Didn't show up?

In good conscience, this drama ranked No.6 in the TV ratings list of the whole year. It is really not high. There are five works with much higher ratings than him.For comparison, those five films also went through two rounds and three rounds, and the ratings were incomparable with "I Am a Soldier". Not to mention the three rounds, the average ratings of the second round of [-]:[-] were not bad, but Once there is a comparison, it is difficult to satisfy people.

Because of this unexpectedly popular TV series, several of the leading actors in the series became very popular during the half-year-long upsurge.Turn on the TV every day, whether it’s the endorsement clothing or the mobile phone food recommendation. All major entertainment variety shows invite them to be guests. For a period of time, as long as you turn on 85% of the TV stations, you can see them in the entertainment programs. .

When an artist becomes popular, his worth and salary will naturally rise again.It is old calendar to double the salary of [-] yuan before, but now if you want to hire them, the salary per episode is less than [-] yuan, and the economic company in charge will not even take a look at you.

Opening the front page of the newspaper every day is no longer about the so-and-so king, but the star of "I am a Soldier" has a spark with a certain actress in the new play of "I am a Soldier".So-and-so sweeps such-and-such entertainment festival and wins three awards: Best Newcomer, Most Audience Favorite Character, and Artist of the Year.So-and-so attended a certain big-name event, and was praised by the chief designer as his muse.

Seeing all kinds of news, Cheng Le, who seems to be forgotten by others, feels a little bit funny. Of course, the actors who came out of the same movie became popular. Of course, he sincerely wishes, but he has only seen these news in the past six months and feels that these leading actors are too ignorant to restrain themselves. You can be popular, but you can’t be too ostentatious. You need to be a good person, otherwise if one day you have signs of losing power, you don’t know when the people in your way will stand up and force you, playing big names, grabbing jobs, and using improper means. Competition and so on will explode, and if you are not careful, you will sink into the quagmire completely.

However, the salary of [-] yuan per episode is ten times his current salary.

With the help of the "I Am a Soldier" craze that has lasted for nearly half a year, his supporting role's single episode salary can barely exceed [-] yuan, which seems to be too much of a failure compared with other leading actors.

Putting down the newspaper and closing his eyes, he calculated that after the first round of "I Am a Soldier", he starred in [-] episodes in two crews with a salary of [-] episodes.Seriously speaking, he has never been popular in this industry and now he has stepped into the third line. Compared with hundreds of thousands of actors who have certain acting skills but are waiting for opportunities, a year's time is mixed. This is already a very good result.

He does not have a brokerage company or agent, and he will receive a new job entirely on the recommendation of Qi Hongyan and the word-of-mouth of the director who has worked with him.Just like the movie he filmed during Chinese New Year was the old guy Guo Jin who asked people to find him, otherwise he has no contacts and no public relations, how could he get a new job.

Speaking of this, according to his original plan, he wanted to choose one of the several brokerage companies that approached him to join.But for some unknown reason, Qi Hongyan told him not to worry and wait, and out of trust in her, he didn't ask and wait patiently, but who knew that this wait would last nearly half a year.

When he was playing soy sauce in the second crew last month, when the third round of "I Am a Soldier" ended and the ratings surpassed the first round, he finally got news from her, and the two also made an appointment for today and the time We met at this house in the Yingyuan Community, and it is said that we had something important to discuss with him.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, after dealing with the stocks that had increased in value again, Cheng Le washed some fruits, took some snacks, put them on a plate and placed them on the table as treats for visitors.

According to the agreement, a few minutes before 03:30, the doorbell at home was rang. When I opened the door, it turned out that it was Qi Hongyan with two unknown middle-aged men behind him.

The three of them were still in military uniforms, Cheng Le let them into the room and sat on the sofa and began to look at him, Qi Hongyan saw that he was fine, why did these two men keep staring at him?

"Lele, let's get acquainted. This is director An Pingsheng'an, and this is screenwriter Liu Hongshuo."

Pointing to the two middle-aged men in their 50s and [-]s, Qi Hongyan gave a brief introduction.

After listening, Cheng Le greeted the two men respectively, shook hands and served hot tea. Only when he sat in the seat opposite to them did he have the time to carefully observe the two men who looked at him as soon as they entered the door.

Judging from the clothes, these two are civilian cadres, unlike Qi Hongyan who carries the rank of colonel on his shoulders.In terms of appearance, they are all in their 50s or [-]s. An Pingsheng is chubby and very rich, while Liu Hongshuo is lean and strong. The veins on the back of his hands burst out and he can feel obvious gun calluses when shaking hands.

A director and a screenwriter, two people with such identities came to find me because there is a new play for me to act in?

But they are all systematic, and I have never heard Qi Hongyan say that they will produce a new play recently. "I am a soldier" is a gift from their district for the National Day. After it is over, most of the energy should be spent on singing. , dancing and performances?It's only been two months since the new year, so it's not like I'm preparing to make a new TV series again.

"Okay, don't guess. Director An and screenwriter Liu are not in the same area as us."

Picking up the teacup, putting it on her nose, smelling it and taking a sip, Qi Hongyan was obviously very satisfied with the rose tea in the cup.

She helped Cheng Le entertain An Pingsheng and Liu Hongshuo, and without much effort, she managed to heat up the atmosphere and make the relationship between Cheng Le and the two men less strange.

When the bridge was convenient for the three men to communicate, she naturally did not let go of the satisfied smiles on the faces of An Pingsheng and Liu Hongshuo. It takes someone to appreciate it.

Fortunately, the reaction of these two people did not exceed her expectations, and the following things can proceed smoothly.Cheng Le herself has no need to become popular overnight, but as an elder, how can she see her favorite junior being left behind by a few small characters?Even though Cheng Le repeatedly emphasized that he should be steady and not rush, she still wanted to help him go further and further in this journey as much as possible.

"Lele, take a look at this, sign it if you have no objection."

Taking out a few documents from the carry-on bag and pushing them in front of Cheng Le, Qi Hongyan refilled the teacup with hot water, quietly paying attention to Cheng Le's reaction on the other side.

Sure enough, Cheng Le was obviously a little surprised to see the contents of the documents in front of him.He was more or less surprised, which obviously exceeded his expectations.

How should I put these documents? They are not only a help to Cheng Le, but also a constraint on Cheng Le.

The eighth-level civilian cadre is equivalent to a lieutenant, and no matter how low the level is, it can be regarded as a guarantee.The opportunity to participate in performances of up to three times a year or to participate in military productions with a basic salary seems a bit overbearing, but in fact it helps Chengle to appear in front of the audience three more times a year.

Which celebrity doesn't take great pains to guarantee such things as exposure rate?There is no guarantee that no matter how popular you were before, it must be a shooting star, and no one will remember you in the blink of an eye.

After signing these documents, it seems that there are many disadvantages in a short period of time, such as the salary will not be very high, and the growth will be slow.It's just that the hidden benefits are more attractive than these. Just saying "All the shady scenes in the entertainment industry will disappear around this person" will make many celebrities and rising star kings envy their eyes red

The district doesn't know how to do anything, just stand behind the artist to see which entertainment media agency dares to move?

That kind of deterrence is not just talking about the great help to artists. How many artists have sharpened their heads and tried to get in, but they can't get in. It is because of family reasons that Cheng Le had the opportunity to become a third-tier artist. Step in here.

Knowing everything about it, Cheng Le picked up a pen and signed his name on several documents without hesitation.

Qi Hongyan, An Pingsheng, and Liu Hongshuo both nodded in agreement, confirming that Cheng Le is not the kind of rookie who is blinded by immediate short-term interests.

The threshold for entering this small circle is very high, and it is even more difficult to get ahead.People who are familiar with this system can always hear that a certain person is dissatisfied with his treatment and wants to leave. When he really leaves and loses his umbrella and encounters all kinds of troubles, he will regret and want to go back again.

But what is this place?Could it be that you come and leave as soon as you say it?

Any artist who has this kind of experience will be blacklisted and lose most of his opportunities.We won't blackmail you or help you. Feel the warmth and warmth of human relationships. There has never been such a thing as regret medicine in the world.

After taking back Cheng Le's signed document and checking it, Qi Hongyan turned his gaze to An Pingsheng and Liu Hongshuo's faces.

Smiling, she gestured to indicate that it was your turn, making the two men who knew her very well and dealt with her many times laugh and cry and had to go out in person.

Opening the briefcase, Liu Hongshuo, who is a screenwriter, took out a thick stack of simple bound A4 paper and handed it to Cheng Le to signal him to open it.As Cheng Le opened the bound book with a vague sense of how things would develop, a row of simple but life-changing titles caught his eyes——

I am a soldier 2: I am a special soldier.

In an instant, his heart beat violently, and he couldn't even control his breathing so that it became heavy.
