Don't Be My Old Man [Entertainment]

"Will I look like this when I'm 35 years old?" Yang Li looked at himself in the mirror who had aged through makeup techniques, and couldn't help looking again and again.

Yang Li in the mirror looks much more mature than he is now, his cheeks are not as plump as they are now, and the beard on his chin makes him a bit more unruly and mature, looking a bit like a "sporty man".

Ah, this is literally my dream look.

If I can look like this ten years from now, I feel a little bit looking forward to it.

"You may not look like this in the future." The makeup artist smiled, "This is mainly based on Zhao Rui's personality."

"No, I will be like this in the future." Yang Li picked up his phone and snapped a dozen photos of himself, "This is the look I like."

The make-up artist smiled unceremoniously.

"Many people also want a face like yours. Probably the more they can't get it, the more they want it."

It's like a glamorous female star usually wants a pure face, and those pure female stars called "fairies" all want to dress themselves up in a sexy and charming way.

"I'll just exercise hard in the future." Yang Li said to himself, "Does it make me more mature if I grow a little beard?"

Of course, this is just thinking about it.

Yang Li's style is created by a professional team, and his own opinions can almost be ignored.

Because Yang Li is recognized by the team as a guy who doesn't have the slightest "fashion sense".

Once you deconstruct the thoughts and thoughts of the role of Zhao Rui, it will not be so difficult to act again.This movie was not originally a movie about human nature, but more about thriller, suspense and revenge elements.It takes too much time to dig out human nature, just click it lightly.

The main line of the story still starts on the night of the blizzard. Seven people sit together and start telling ghost stories.

Of course, these people are not short of money, sports cars and houses are just icing on the cake, and they mainly want to seek excitement.

Everyone took turns to draw lots, and Zhao Rui got the last one to tell the story, and the first one to start telling the story was the rich second-generation son played by Ruan Hong, who told a classic "infant spirit" story.

In order to add horror elements, the film crew specially paid for a real-life "ghost doll", based on the "uncanny valley theory", trying to scare the audience once 10 minutes before the opening of the film.

The horror routines in ghost movies are well known, and the audience already knows when to release ghosts to scare people.

Since it's a domestic ghost film, director Jiang Liang doesn't intend to actually release any ghosts to scare people.All he needs to do is to put the horror elements in the right place and let the audience make up the process by themselves.

In this way, the review party can't hold on to it, after all, they really haven't been haunted.

However, Ruan Hong's acting was really stiff enough, and the only saving grace was that he acted in almost his true colors.Even though Ruan Hong had seen the ghost doll in advance, he was still shocked when the doll suddenly flew in front of him with coercion while he was running.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--"

Such a handsome and handsome boy was frightened into such a state, and the staff nearby couldn't help laughing.

Obviously, it has been filmed seven or eight times, why is Ruan Hong still scared every time?

Yang Li also found it interesting.

If Gu Qianqian saw Ruan Hong's pitiful and lovely appearance, maybe the "association" with Ruan Hong would last for a while longer.

"It's over." The director waved his hand to signal the staff to take the doll down, and the staff were also cautious, after all, this doll is not cheap.

"Next, let Yang Li add to the scene of killing you, and you can finish it." Jiang Liang handed Ruan Hong a glass of wolfberry water. The sweet and sour taste of wolfberry can calm his mood very well.

"Great." Ruan Hong was relieved to hear the director's words.

Why do filming have to be so scary?If he knew how hard it was, he might not even be willing to snatch this opportunity.

Fortunately, I didn't really ask for an extra play at the beginning, otherwise he would have to stay in the crew for a few more days.

Ruan Hong used to think that he was not afraid of ghost movies, they were all fake after all, but only when he started filming did he realize that they were really scary.

The director didn't know what to think. In order to achieve the real shooting effect, he really found a remote place and came out to shoot in the middle of the night.If this was put in a novel, it would be a proper way to seek death.

Of course, ordinary ghost films will definitely not be shot like this.

However, Jiang Liang believed that "if you can't scare yourself, you can't scare the audience", so you specially chose a night to film, so that actors with a relationship like Ruan Hong can join the show more.

If Yang Li and some other actors were replaced, it would definitely work during the day.

It's just that they didn't tell Ruan Hong these little actors about this kind of carelessness, otherwise they would have been mentally prepared, and I'm afraid they would perform even worse.

An excellent director is able to tap out the potential of an actor, even if the other party can't act, he must show the highest level.

Ruan Hong rested for a while, then continued to shoot.

Hurry up and finish filming, he wants to go back and pick up a sweet idol drama to ease his mood.

Ghost movies are really scary!

"Director, you scare Ruan Hong." Yang Li couldn't help but said, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you shoot during the day."

Now there is no role for Yang Li, Yang Li can also watch other people filming together.

"At any rate, his character is also the first person to appear on the stage and the first to die. If he doesn't shoot well, the audience will definitely not be able to watch it." Jiang Liang smiled, "If Ruan Hong can't learn to be ruthless to himself, he won't even think about it in the future. I'm eating an actor's food."

Now that Ruan Hong is young, he can still rely on his face and figure for a few years, but in a few years, he may not be able to do so again.

"Then you can speak well."

"I don't have the time." Jiang Liang shook his head, "Ruan Hong is an artist in Gu Qianqian's studio, but not my student. He may not listen to me. Anyway, we may not have many cooperations in the future, as long as he can complete Let him do whatever I want to shoot."

Director Jiang Liang has a bit of a thought of "as long as the movie is finished, everyone else has nothing to do with me", and he doesn't have much interest in promoting actors.For someone like Yang Li who is willing to ask for advice as a leading actor, he will not hesitate to give some pointers, but if he doesn't have the intention, he won't bother to be such a good person.

He is not someone else's father, so why care so much?

Jiang Liang is very confident in this "Seven People Talking About Ghosts". This confidence is not only because of his own director ability and screenwriter's script editing ability, but also because of the excellent performances of these actors and the marketing company's optimism behind it.

With so many people thinking it's a good movie, it can't really be that bad.

If "Seven People Tell Ghosts" really breaks the record for the highest box office of domestic ghost films, then Jiang Liang, as the director of this type of film, will naturally become famous quickly.

I would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.

Commercial blockbusters are certainly more attractive and easier to attract investment, but there are too many directors who want to become famous with this type.There are Hollywood commercial blockbusters as the benchmark, and domestic commercial films have lost more than others in terms of rhythm and atmosphere. If this is the case, it is better to find another way and start with films with niche themes.

The competition between directors is even more intense than that of actors.

Actors are just fighting for roles, but directors are fighting for screenwriters, investors, actors, and awards.

Actors can change to a new generation every few years, but directors may not be able to change to a new generation after decades.

The director's attitude was so clear, Yang Li didn't say anything more.

The relationship between him and Ruan Hong is also so-so, they just said a few words in passing.

The filming of "Seven People Talking About Ghosts" took almost half a year, and it was not officially completed until April.

Originally, the entire plot was filmed in March, but at the end of the month, the director called Yang Li over to film an Easter egg again.

With the beginning of spring, the Yang family's plum wine has also begun to be brewed.

Yang Li also bought some materials himself and came back to start brewing.

The plum wine brewed at home is neither high nor low, about ten degrees, but it is not suitable for Zheng Wushu to drink.

Yang Li already knew that his boss had poured a glass, so the plum wine at home was naturally replenished and sent away. Instead, Yang Li reconfigured the wine recipe and gave Zheng Wushu a version of the plum wine with reduced alcohol content.

hey.

The next thing to do is to wait for the "Special China" program to go online. He has just finished filming "Seven People Talking About Ghosts", and there is only one "Civil Servant" that has not yet been reviewed. He should not have any work in the first half of the year. .

Ah, the long lost vacation.

Anyway, brewing one kind of wine is also brewing, and brewing ten kinds of wine is also brewing. It is better to brew more flavors for Mr. Zheng.

It seems that he only has this little talent left to repay Teacher Zheng.

Yang Li is very busy here, while Zhou Cheng on the other end is working with the team members of the studio to prepare the marketing plan for the upcoming "Special China".

When Yang Li appears among a group of top industry leaders, he will definitely be ridiculed by all kinds of shady things. They have to think about how to bring the rhythm to a normal range.

"How many marketing accounts are useful here?"

"About thirty or so."

"There are too many, I don't need so many, just pick a few that are worthwhile." Zhou Cheng bit his pen and said, "If there are too many marketing accounts, passers-by will definitely see it, just a few people come out to talk once in a while. After all, we still have behind-the-scenes videos to prove it. The less the previous marketing account speaks out, the more convincing it will be when it is reversed later.”

"Where are the senior sailors?"

"It's already being raised." A staff member sighed slightly, "Recently, the country is vigorously cracking down on this kind of irregular troll army and inappropriate marketing, so it is relatively troublesome, and the one-sided troll troop like before cannot appear. Praise."

"But it's also beneficial." Zhou Cheng didn't care much about this, "This also means that our opponents can't buy navy to hack us on a large scale."

After all, Huaying has a serious problem in her heart.

As soon as Zheng Wushu went abroad, all kinds of demons and ghosts came out.

Those middle-school students who were coveting Zheng Wushu's endorsement all tried their best to get close to those brands.In comparison, "Seven People Talking About Ghosts" has not yet been released, and Yang Lilian, who only has "Sword Family" and "You Long Mentioning the Judge", is not qualified to compete with them, and those brand parties will not put Yang Li was considered among the candidates.

But it will be different after "Special China" is broadcast.

This program is certified by the state and fully embodies the appeal of the party. Whether it is used to export culture to the outside world or to increase cultural confidence internally, it is a particularly good thing.

If Yang Li can stabilize the personality of a "wine master", the brand will not only consider him as an artist, but also consider the cultural and political significance behind him.

The entertainment industry seems to be independent, but it is actually constrained by various capitals.

Once the image of an artist is not good, it will be even more difficult to turn over.

There are so many artists who are keen to do public welfare and show love, which takes time and effort. Is it really because all of them are reincarnated from good people?Don't you just want the recognition of the country, and want to put a halo of "charity" on yourself?

Whether in China or in Hollywood, this kind of master personality recognized by universal values ​​can definitely bring countless benefits to Yang Li.

Just like domestic actors, if they can enter Renyi and become a nationally certified first-level actor and second-level actor, then they can be called real "artists" and "performers".

"The trailer of "Special China" will be released soon. If it follows the normal situation, it will be broadcast on Labor Day on May [-]st. At that time, all major video platforms will also broadcast it simultaneously." Zhou Cheng has been in contact with the program team and knows the approximate time, "At that time, Yang Li will be interviewed by CCTV."

"Browse topics and buy trending searches, these are all necessary."

"The papers published by Yang Li during his college days can also be used."

"The real ability is still hidden, isn't it a joke?"

Zhou Cheng and the others tried their best to take all factors into consideration, but they still didn't feel much low in their hearts.

How much heat and discussion will this show bring?It is unpredictable how much ridicule and praise Yang Li will receive.

What they can do is probably to make preparations in advance so that they can fully counterattack at the moment when things come.

The production of the "Special China" program has been completed.

Li Suqiu also breathed a sigh of relief, after all, this is not an easy task.

For this program, they traveled all over the country, including ravines and high mountains, as well as various museums, archaeological institutions, etc., and they were busy for about three or four years.

If the previous planning is included, it has been more than six years.

After shooting such a program for six years, Li Suqiu is certainly not tired, but every time he thinks of his ideals and the audiences all over the country are looking forward to his work, Li Suqiu feels full of strength all over his body.

She was unwilling to do a show that only had high ratings.

There are too many programs with high ratings and good reputation but poor ratings.

Don't tell lies that the ratings don't matter as long as word of mouth is good, that's nothing more than self-deception.A good program should have both word-of-mouth and ratings. If only word-of-mouth has no ratings, it means that the program has failed because it did not take into account the tastes of the audience.

A good work should be appreciated by both the refined and the vulgar, but what's the point of being elegant if it's highbrow?

Similarly, a program with only ratings but a bad reputation cannot last long.

Li Suqiu has done several programs with word-of-mouth and ratings.

But word of mouth did not achieve the best, and the ratings did not exceed Yiqijuechen in the same period.

So this is not OK.

If you want to do it, make a program that is enough to be recognized and admired by the country, and can even be used as an insurmountable mountain in documentaries.

"Characteristics of China" already contains the essence of countless Chinese cultures, and it is also the painstaking efforts of many people.

Porcelain, cultural relics, poetry, calligraphy and painting, wine, silk, food, clothing, architecture, they all made a program according to different characteristics.

There are documentary parts, guest Q&A parts, and cultural keynote speaker parts, and they have packed in as much as possible.

Although some other ideas are good, but considering the audience's perception and the length of the program, I can only reluctantly give up.

And it's finally going live now.

"Producer Li, all major video platforms expressed their intention to purchase the copyright after watching the pilot film. At the same time, TV stations in Hong Kong and Taiwan, Japan and South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, North Korea, Thailand and other places have all proposed to introduce the meaning of."

When the personnel from the marketing department came to report, their hands holding the report were trembling.

This will be their best gold show in years!

Anyone who has watched it will understand the excellence of this program. CCTV No. 1 will not only launch it in prime time, but also plan to use a period of commercial time to vigorously promote it.

With so many CCTV stations, except for No. [-] TV station, most of the time they are almost out of breath by the ratings of those first-tier local stations.Local stations can purchase the copyrights of excellent foreign programs, but most of CCTV's programs are original.

How can the original programs produced in a short period of time compare with the programs of foreign TV stations that have run for more than ten seasons?

Therefore, CCTV's programs have fallen into a vicious circle with high ratings but low ratings.

Thinking about how many literati and scholars became popular in "Lecture Forum of Hundred Schools" back then, few subsequent programs can achieve this effect.

The decline of CCTV, the rise of local TV stations, and the rise of online platforms are all things that were unimaginable before, but now they have all become reality.

But CCTV also has the benefits of CCTV.

They can have resources that local TV stations cannot match, can mobilize national-level materials to the greatest extent, and can also cooperate with museums and other places.

It can be said that they can create a high-level program regardless of the cost, which is different from the "entertainment" of other TV stations.

CCTV is the mouthpiece of the state media, and it is also the one that most needs to maintain its own uniqueness.

"It's not the time to be happy yet." Li Suqiu could understand the excitement of her subordinates, but for her, it was still not enough.

"Huh? But now the copyright fee for the program alone has doubled the profit, and foreign TV stations have also been introduced simultaneously. What else can we do?"

This program of theirs is almost killing all TV stations in Asian countries, isn't that good?

In the eyes of subordinates, the influence of "Characteristic Huaxia" may surpass that of last year's Spring Festival Gala.

Regardless of the domestic complaints about the Spring Festival Gala, but in areas where Chinese people gather, the appeal of the Spring Festival Gala really cannot be described in general terms.

"Characteristics of China" won the favor of so many regional TV stations, definitely not only because it was produced by CCTV, there are more programs produced by CCTV.What these TV stations value is actually the cultural spirit contained in "Characteristic China".

If you want to understand Chinese culture, their history, and their thinking, then such a program is definitely the best.

It does not only focus on one kind like other programs, but it is like an outline to understand China. After following the pictures, one can understand that their culture is formed from many aspects.

This is also quite beneficial for the country to show its own image.

If the ratings are good in the later stage, TV stations in Europe and the United States can also be introduced at the same time. Chinese who want to come to the local area will be happy to recommend such a program to their foreign friends.

"Doesn't our CCTV still have the most awesome program?" Li Suqiu said with a slight smile, "Before it extended an olive branch to our program, I don't think we did our best."

"You, what you said is..."

"That's right, it's "News Network." Li Suqiu said with a smile, "I remember when the country's anniversary and great man's anniversary were celebrated, documentaries such as the Silk Road were all on "News Network". Yes, why can't we? Our "Special China" is no worse than them."

The influence of "News Network" is incomparable. If it can give them an introduction to "Special China" in the program, even if it is only ten seconds, it will definitely bring more "Special China" to them. audience.

After all, this program of theirs was directly broadcast on CCTV-[-] after "News Network".

Anyone who is an audience of CCTV will probably be curious about such a program on "News Network".

As long as they finished watching the first episode, Li Suqiu has the confidence to let them continue to watch the second and third episodes.

She is very confident in her program and in the hard work of their entire staff.

"cocoa……"

However, the duration of "News Network" is limited, and every second must be accurate. Unless there is a particularly big news, there will be basically no delay.

"I have already submitted the application form with the station director." Li Suqiu said seriously, ""News Network" is a program watched by audiences all over the country in the true sense. Which one is sweeping Asia?"
