Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 473 Luxurious Configuration, Frequent Methods

After that, Lin Li and the entire crew officially entered focus mode and began to devote themselves to filming.

Because he directed and acted in the film himself, it was not easy for him even though he had the cooperation of Shang Wei and the team he had worked with for a long time.

It was the first time for most of the actors to work with Lin Li, and the crew was mostly composed of new actors. Most of them had never seen such concentration before, and could not help but be shocked by the atmosphere on the set.

After all, a mature team that originally shot movies is now being used to shoot TV series. It is indeed not easy for general new actors to adapt to the rhythm and they need to adjust slowly.

Lin Li and his team had already developed a tacit understanding, and to Zhang Jingyi and the others they felt less like a film crew and more like a rigorous and meticulous army.

Naturally, we can chat and laugh and relax during breaks in filming, but we are always enveloped in a sense of tension. Once work starts, it is like starting a war. We have to concentrate highly and dare not relax at all.

If one or two people are like this, the impact will not be significant, but if the entire core team is like this, everyone will be affected involuntarily.

Zhang Jingyi and other actors also witnessed how efficient the team was that was able to shoot the two films "The Tragedy" and "Youth". They had near-perfect execution, like a precision machine. As long as Lin Li expressed his ideas, the crew members would be able to execute them quickly.

Only then did they realize how luxurious their team was for a TV series.

After realizing this, everyone worked harder, trying not to become a pain point for the crew and devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the filming.

While they were filming, the outside world was also in turmoil.

At the old time of ten o'clock, the official Weibo of Nanxun Culture's Dear, Loved and the official Weibo of Kiwi Video simultaneously updated the status to warm up for the official start of tonight's intimacy.

#亲爱的激情的0709开播# Your little squid suddenly came online and brought the sweetest news of this summer. Starting from July 7, #亲爱的激情的# will be updated simultaneously on @剧耀东方 @浙省卫视 @奇异果视频! Are you ready? The "childlike couple" @章若南 @林庚新 will "sweet you a summer"

The "Beautiful Bloom" poster sees all the cast gather to sound the clarion call for the show to begin, and the high-energy "Live Up to Your Passion" final trailer of fighting for their dreams to the end makes people excited and full of anticipation.

In the final trailer, Tong Nian, played by Zhang Ruonan, first meets Han Shangyan, played by Lin Gengxin, and falls in love with him at first sight. Not only does she make midnight snacks to make her presence felt, she also cleverly obtains Han Shangyan's contact information. Squid Xiaoyu, who is in love, launches a sweet offensive against Gun God. Her positive, cute and action-oriented personality wins a lot of favor, and many netizens call her adorable.

Netizens are also looking forward to it very much. Not to mention the popularity of the original work, the fact that the copyright fee for the dual-star broadcast was sold for 2.5 million before it was even aired, plus the sky-high 4.2 million yuan for Kiwi's exclusive online copyright fee, is enough to shock people.

According to online rumors, the investment cost of the show was only 50 million, which means that the show has already made a lot of money before it was even aired.

Now everyone who is paying attention is curious whether such a drama is worthy of the two TV stations and Kiwi platform’s support and investment after it is broadcast.

Even though Nanxun Culture has a brilliant record, in the current situation, many people are skeptical about whether these companies can recover their costs or how much profit they can make under the huge copyright fees.

The currently popular drama "Legend of Fuyao" starring Yang Mi has an average daily playback volume of 1.9 million. Ranked second is "One Thousand and One Nights" starring Tian Xiwei and Deng Lun, with an average daily playback volume of 1.6 million. Both dramas are very popular.

As Tian Xiwei's first female lead drama after Lovely, One Thousand and One Nights received considerable attention at the beginning of its broadcast. The performance of the drama did not disappoint the public, with an average daily playback volume of around 1.5 million, which once again proved Tian Xiwei's dominance in the sweet girl track. The male lead Deng Lun also gained a lot of popularity.

The launch of the intimate drama now is undoubtedly the number one enemy for The Legend of Fuyao, which is nearing the end of its broadcast, and One Thousand and One Nights, which is currently on the air.

Now everyone wants to see which drama will stand out and dominate the summer season when these three dramas meet together!

However, what netizens did not expect was that before the show even started, Shanghai TV had already started a "fight" with Shonan TV!

After the preheating started at 10 o'clock, the official Weibo accounts of the two major TV stations started "fighting" directly!
As the two major TV stations broadcasting the TV series "Dear, Beloved", Shanghai TV and Shonan TV can be said to be competing for this TV series. The release of various trailers made the spectators a little confused.

The key point is that the trailers released by the two major TV stations are also different, and they seem to be in a head-on confrontation.

In addition, the Weibo profile pictures of Shanghai TV and Shonan TV also directly abandoned their original logos. Shonan TV first changed them to stills of Han Shangyan and Tong Nian.

Afterwards, Shanghai TV was not to be outdone and directly changed its official Weibo profile picture to a heart-shaped profile picture of the male and female protagonists.

These series of operations by Shonan TV and Modou TV seem to have a kind of flirting feeling, which makes a group of netizens who like to watch the show call it interesting.

Of course, the online competition between Shonan TV and Modou TV ultimately benefited from the close attention. As the discussion of the closeness continued to rise, many film and television companies in the circle felt that this joyful marketing method was worth learning from.

Previously, the audience’s impression of TV stations was that they were high-end, but a series of “childish” actions by Shonan TV and Moto TV allowed the audience to see a different side of them, which really won them a lot of fans.

For a time, the official Weibo accounts of the two satellite TV stations saw a surge in attention.

In fact, from another perspective, perhaps the interaction between Shanghai Satellite TV and Shonan Satellite TV is also a direct "declaration of war" between the two TV stations. After all, Shonan Satellite TV can be said to be the industry leader among TV stations. Shanghai Satellite TV is on the rise and also wants to take this opportunity to compete with Shonan Satellite TV to determine the first, second, third, and fourth place.

There is a cheerful atmosphere but also a slight smell of gunpowder. How can Kiwi, as the exclusive online broadcasting platform, just watch these two companies flourish? I have spent 4.2 million yuan, so I have to find a way to make it back, right?
So, Kiwi also started his life.

First of all, Kiwi has launched the options of "Only watch dear" and "Only watch beloved" in the "Only watch TA" function, which means that when users watch the drama on mobile devices, they can choose to watch the reality (dear) and memories (loved) parts of the content route according to their preferences.

This type of platform technology application content operation method is guided by the personalized needs of users, which greatly satisfies the public's preferences and experience when watching dramas.

At the same time, there are opening screen ads, home page recommendations, and pop-up ads in other video sections. Today, as long as you click into the Kiwi Video app, as long as you come in, you will definitely see intimate content.

At the same time, the barrage interactive mode was turned on. Kiwi posted a message saying that during the movie-watching period, the intimate main creative staff will log in to the barrage from time to time to interact closely with the audience on the barrage, and watch the show together with the fans. How can fans resist such temptation?

Now everything is ready, just waiting for the show to start.

Kiwi employees had long discovered that their boss came to the company early in the morning today, which was unusual. He also did not leave the company after get off work in the evening. Instead, he planned to work overtime with the company's staff, waiting for the intimate first broadcast data.

Because Intimate is broadcast on satellite TV, the current broadcast schedule is that it will be updated simultaneously on Shanghai Satellite TV and Shonan Satellite TV at 19:30 every night, with two episodes updated from Monday to Friday and Sunday, one episode updated on Saturday, and it will be updated on the Kiwi online video platform at 22:00. There will be 13 episodes updated per week, and members can watch one episode in advance.

The leading actors in the drama "Intimate" naturally couldn't sit idle either. They reposted the official Weibo of "Intimate" early on, announcing the start of the show today, and called on fans to follow the show together.

At this time, many friends in the circle and some celebrity artists who wanted to take advantage of the popularity would certainly not miss this opportunity, and they posted on Weibo to call on everyone to watch the drama together.

Just after six o'clock, Lin Li announced the end of today's filming, and then immediately took out his mobile phone to check the latest news online.

After seeing the overwhelming publicity, he couldn't help but smile, and after a little thought, he also edited a post.

"Kairen is great because of dreams @Dear, Love's official Weibo @Zhang Ruonan @Lin Gengxin @Hu Yitian @Meng Ziyi @Li Yitong, intimacy contains not only love, but also dreams and family affection. I hope everyone will like it and take some time out from their busy schedules to watch the drama together in the evening."

Click send. After sending, Lin Li put away his phone and prepared to solve the dinner problem.

"Director Lin."

A sweet and innocent voice called out, and Lin Li raised the corners of his lips, turning back to look at Zhang Jingyi who was jogging towards him.

As the only female celebrity in the domestic entertainment industry who had running fans in her previous life, she is indeed pleasing to the eye when she runs.

Watching her trotting towards him, Lin Li could inexplicably feel her love. She ran like a happy dog, her mouth open without restraint, the corners of her grinning mouth almost reaching her heels. The expression on her face was so sweet that people could feel her full of vitality.

"What's wrong Jingyi?"

Lin Li's expression relaxed, and he spoke softly as he looked at Zhang Jingyi who was standing in front of him, panting slightly.

"Today's Intimate is airing. We've agreed to go to the hotel's activity room to watch the premiere together. Do you want to join us?"

Zhang Jingyi smoothed her long hair, took a steady breath, and then extended the invitation.

"Okay, I'll be there later."

Lin Li thought that he had nothing else to do, so he agreed immediately.

"Well, then... do you want to have dinner together? In the evening."

Zhang Jingyi raised her eyes to look at him, as if making an invitation unintentionally.

"Princess, are you going to treat me to a meal?"

Lin Li's eyebrows curved slightly, and he spoke to her in a frivolous voice.

"We're not in the shooting mode right now, why call me princess?"

Zhang Jingyi was stunned, then gave him a reproachful look.

"Get used to it. You'll have to yell a lot more in the future anyway."

Zhang Jingyi didn't think there was anything wrong with this "later" and "more". She would never have thought that the "later" and "more" in Lin Li's mouth were longer than the "later" she thought, and more than the "more" she thought.

"Okay, what you said makes sense. You are the director after all."

Zhang Jingyi puffed up her innocent little face and said in a sweet and naive voice.

"So what are you taking me to eat?"

The smile in Lin Li's eyes grew even brighter, and he asked in a gentle voice.

"How about the snail rice noodle?"

There was a hint of mischief in Zhang Jingyi's eyes, and she tilted her head to look at him with a smile.

???

"Princess, are you planning to poison your knight and be kidnapped by the Great Demon King?"

Lin Li's brows were twisted into a "川" shape, and he said with disgust.

“Try it. It’s delicious.”

"No, I don't eat that."

"Try it, maybe your mind will change."

"Forget it. Trying new things usually comes with a price. I think I'll just eat something else."

"Director Lin, you are a grown man, aren't you scared?"

"Heh...why would I be afraid? I just don't want to stink."

"Take a shower after eating, and then go to the activity room to meet up with them."

"I really don't..."

"You called me princess, don't you listen to what the princess says?"

"I...okay."

"Hehe, let's go, I promise you will discover a new world."

Having achieved her goal, Zhang Jingyi smiled victoriously, and her two rows of white teeth made her smile even more charming.

"Lead the way."

Lin Li shook his head helplessly, feeling tricked by this girl.

So, the two of them walked out of the set side by side amid the gossipy eyes of the crew.

At the same time, the intimate show is getting closer and closer.
