Huayu became famous overnight

Chapter 47 Waiting to watch the fireworks

Director Office.

Xu Ming and Director Song sat opposite each other.

"I watched the TV series you sent me. It's quite noisy. I can't tell whether it's good or bad at my age, but the young comrades think it has potential."

"But the content is too young, and it feels risky to put it on our Liao TV station."

Director Song was talking about whether "Love Apartment" could be put on prime time. From what he said, it seemed to be wavering between the two sides.

"Younger people are the general trend. I'm going to say something very unethical. Any station that doesn't embrace this trend will fall further and further behind in the competition."

"Nowadays, everyone is competing for audiences across the country. Universality is the most important thing. It's not outdated to always focus on family matters and rural themes. Let's be practical. Are sponsors more willing to invest in TV series that are watched by young people?"

Director Song regarded Xu Ming's previous remarks as alarmist, but when he talked about sponsors later, he became serious.

Advertisers are a major source of income for TV stations, so if we can increase this, it would be a real achievement.

"go on."

Director Song raised his hand and motioned Xu Ming to sit down, and said.

When Xu Ming saw the situation, he knew that the other party had listened to him, so he continued.

"Take Mango TV as an example. In 07, it aired a drama called "The Ming Dynasty 1566", directed by Zhang Li, written by Liu Heping, starring Chen Baoguo and Huang Zhizhong, a bunch of veteran actors. It was a very sophisticated drama, but the ratings were 0.5%."

"Mango TV also aired a TV series called Ugly Betty in September 08. I think you would have found it hilarious. The highest rating was 9%. The second season aired on January 3.56 this year, with a share of 1%, ranking second in the same time period nationwide."

Both dramas are well-known in the industry. The former is well-known for its high reviews, while the latter is this year's hit drama.

Director Song didn’t notice anything because they were not put together normally.

After Xu Ming compared them together, I really figured out what was going on.

"Can I understand it as entertainment?" Director Song hesitated.

"That's right, the era of entertainment to death has arrived, and we can see the clues from "Super Girl"." Xu Ming affirmed.

The atmosphere was silent.

Director Song, who came from the old film and television era, found it difficult to accept the fact for a while.

Xu Ming waited for the other party to digest it silently.

This trend is unstoppable. Either embrace it or be abandoned.

"Bad money drives out good money." Director Song sighed.

"Yes, the audience has eaten too much bran. It is normal for them to become addicted when they come into contact with this kind of fast food for the first time. Once they eat more, they will slowly get back on track," said Xu Ming.

The popularity of high-quality TV series such as "In the Name of People" and "The World" in later generations all prove that the audience's taste is discerning.

"What you said makes sense, but the cast of your show is so average that it's hard for me to convince other people in the station."

Director Song spread his hands and said, "After all, the schedule arrangement is not decided by me alone."

Besides, this drama is not produced by Benshan Media. If it weren’t for Xu Ming’s face, it would never have come to him.

"If this drama doesn't do well, I can play another one for you next time. What do you think?" Xu Ming said, patting his chest.

He put so much effort into promoting "Love Apartment". Besides taking 30% of the shares and signing the artists, there was another key point, which was to help his company get off to a good start.

With the success of the first drama, it will be much easier to promote our own dramas later.

"It's a word."

Director Song held out his hand: "Saturday night at 7:30 PM, the prime time slot is for you."

What he was waiting for was Xu Ming's promise. Although analyzing this and that was useful, none of them was as reliable as this promise.

"Thanks for the trust."

Xu Ming shook hands with him.

I was thinking that next time I talk about something, if it doesn’t work out, I’ll just try drinking instead.

Looking at this situation, half a pound of wine would be more effective than anything else.

……

"Online opinions? I don't pay attention to that. I might pay more attention to international and Hollywood issues. I hope young actors in the mainland can focus more on their own growth instead of taking shortcuts."

On TV, Zhou Runfa casually made a few perfunctory remarks to the reporter. Although he did not mention it explicitly, everyone knew who he was referring to.

His voice was like a horn.

"I know what you want to ask. It's about the actor who played the sissy. Let's wait until he is qualified to appear at the Academy Awards. I didn't see him last month." Yu Wenle waved his hand.

"We are so happy today, so don't mention those unhappy things. I feel disappointed when I hear that name." Xie Tingfeng refused to answer the question.

He was in no mood to pay attention to new actors from the mainland. Even after a year, those photos would pop up in his mind from time to time.

Outside Liaotai.

After discussing the schedule of "Love Apartment" with Director Su, Xu Ming visited his fellow apprentices and left the building.

Unexpectedly, before I even walked out the door, I saw a group of reporters waiting for me.

"Xu Ming, Zhou Runfa was interviewed today and expressed the hope that young mainland actors would not take the wrong path. What do you think?"

"Yu Wenle said that when you win the Golden Image Awards, you will be qualified to talk to him again, and he teased you that you are a sissy."

"Xu Ming, Xie Tingfeng said he was disappointed to hear your name. Please respond."

Some of these reporters even spoke Cantonese, which showed that there were quite a few Hong Kong media outlets among them.

Really dedicated.

Xu Ming listened to the noise around his ears and the microphone that was handed to him, but he never answered.

Only when he reached his car did the bodyguard open the door.

He stood still and stretched out his fist towards the pairs of eyes that were expecting him to say something.

The reporters became more and more excited. Could it be that this guy was so angry that he wanted to start a fight?
That would be great.

Xu Ming's fist, which was placed in front of his chest, moved up higher and higher until it was raised above his head and expanded.

Everyone stared at his actions in confusion.

what does this mean?
"Waiting to watch the fireworks."

Xu Ming chuckled and turned to get in the car.

Smelling the exhaust fumes from the cars, the reporters became even more confused.

fireworks?

Where did the fireworks come from?
"Shit, [see you Monday] for the updated blog."

There was a cry of surprise from the crowd, and everyone rushed over in a commotion.

"What was sent?"

"Don't push, I'll read it to you, the title is shocking, exclamation mark..."

"Nonsense, we all know this, hurry up."

“【Shocked! International movie stars are actually box office poison. Discuss the true commercial value of Hong Kong and Taiwan filmmakers.】”

Wow, the title is as eye-catching as always.

Especially in the context of Hong Kong and Taiwan filmmakers moving north in large numbers, there are almost no people who dare to sing a different tune.

That is Hollywood in Hong Kong, the Hollywood of the East.

A place where, at its peak, it could compete with filmmakers from all over the world.

"Where's down there?"

"Gone."

"What? Why is it gone?"

"My phone is out of money and I have no data."

"Damn it, Chong, you think we look down on you, right? Hurry up."
