I'm almost a Muggle

Crest Culture Media Company has been experiencing a very solemn atmosphere since June 18th.

It’s not because they don’t have a dollar to grab a cell phone or computer.

But "Peace of the North" is finally released.

Five-star broadcast, 8pm.

It has become one of the most popular dramas at the moment.

However, the response after it was released was not very successful, and the ratings of the five satellite TV stations failed to break one.

The five-star network will indeed affect the calculation of the total ratings - who actually counts whom, it is impossible for the five TV stations to add one piece to the calculation.

It's not as good as the popular "The Ancient Sword", nor the much-criticized xiaolongbao version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", let alone the turbulent "Legend of the Condor Heroes", it's really far behind.

Of course, people won't know what "The Stormy Waves" means until next year when they watch "Yang Guifei" also starring Miss Fan Xuexue.

Only then did I realize that not only was it possible in the car, but why it couldn’t be done right away.

If there were no cars in ancient times, wouldn’t there be earthquakes?

Don't underestimate the creativity of primates. If there are difficulties, they will be shocked. If there are no difficulties, they will be shocked if they create difficulties.

"Isn't this normal? How can this kind of drama be compared with a costume drama?" Lin Dong disagreed.

This TV series attracts a large portion of its audience from male viewers over 35 years old, or even older. At the same time, the subject matter and narrative style of "Peace of the North" also determine its "niche" aspect.

"Hey, you didn't scold me."

This concerns him more than the ratings.

Playing with a bunch of movie kings and movie kings, what Lin Dong fears most is not that the TV series will have a bad reputation - that is impossible.

Basically written by Liu Heyang.

Who is Liu Heyang?

That's the super boss in the screenwriting circle.

The director is Kong Di and Li Yun. The two guys are very good at directing. Even those movie kings and movie kings can be impressed.

And those who participate in the show, even in supporting roles, can be used to play leading roles in other dramas.

Let’s not talk about Chen Jingqi, Ni Jianhong, and Wang Jiakang’s generation.

When talking about old actors, they will definitely come to mind.

Let’s just talk about the two newly emerging actors.

One is Lin Dong.

Last year, he won the Best New Actor award at the Venice International Film Festival. At just 22 years old, he has already become a benchmark for the new generation of acting.

If so and so has acting skills.

Then others will ask how it compares to Lin Dong.

Another one is Liao Ping.

He won an award in February this year called "Best Actor at the 64th Berlin International Film Festival".

What is this?

This is the Berlin actor.

He is China's first Berlin actor.

The gold content is quite high, a point or two better than the Best Actor at the Venice International Film Festival.

The script, director, cast, funding, everything is in place for this drama.

The ratings were low at the beginning. It can only be said that Liu Heyang's dramas are so slow to gain popularity, so we should wait and see.

Besides, five star-rated TV stations bought the rights to broadcast it, so they are not blind.

Therefore, Lin Dong told everyone not to worry at all.

No matter what the ratings are, it will not affect the final payment of the TV station. A TV series makes a net profit of 80 million, so why do you need a bicycle?

You all don't know how heartbroken I was at that time.

Heartbroken, Lin Dong waited for "The Strongest Rival" first. The other film was not produced by a private company, so don't expect high efficiency.

Just to study whether to accept your investment may require several days of meetings.

After the research is completed, you may need to outline the process and write a report.

The director of "The Strongest Rival" is Ding Sheng. Last year he directed Fang Long's "New Police Story", which grossed more than 500 million yuan. He is a relatively successful director.

The reason why this movie is not popular is that it is based on real events.

The degree of restoration exceeds 70%.

This is no longer interesting.

Although sometimes reality is stranger than movies, if you really make it based on reality, it will be difficult to ensure the commerciality of the movie.

Adapted from so-called real events.

You can't focus on the real events, you have to focus on the adaptation.

Ding Sheng said, I will shoot it according to reality.

So no one gave him money, not even Fang Long, who was standing behind him, was willing to take the money.

Until I received a call from Krest Culture Media.

Bring money into the group!

Kleist made a condition at the beginning, you have to give us an important role.

This kind of thing is common in the entertainment industry.

Taking money directly without saying anything makes people feel uneasy.

"I don't know who from your company wants to participate in this movie. The lead actor is Mr. Wu. I have already appointed Mr. Liu Furong." Ding Sheng said his ugly words first.

"Why isn't it Mr. Wu? He's the prototype. Isn't he an actor himself? Wouldn't it be better to just play the role?" Shi Shanshan asked.

"Although he agreed to participate, he was only willing to play a policeman. It was too painful for him at the time and he really didn't want to repeat that experience."

"Teacher Liu Furong, he seems to also invest in movies and TV series. Why not let him invest?"

"He actually also has this idea. If we really can't raise the money, we will wait and help him invest a little bit after he turns over the funds, but he can't invest so much."

"We agree in principle to invest in your film, but I don't know which role you can provide."

"You haven't told me who will star."

"Lin Dong."

"Why don't we call over and talk together."

Director Ding Sheng is obviously a person who is not very well-informed.

Otherwise, Su Meng's incident spread throughout the upper circles of the entertainment industry a few days ago, and he didn't know about it. If he knew about it, he wouldn't have called Mr. Lin over.

Lin Dong really has no airs.

He just came over with a thermos cup. What was brewed in it was not wolfberry, but tea. Good tea. Gangzi bought it from a WeChat friend.

"Hello, Teacher Ding."

"Hello, Teacher Lin Dong."

After a few awkward conversations, Ding Sheng said straightforwardly: "I was still worried about who would be participating in the show. When I found out it was Teacher Lin Dong, I felt relieved immediately."

"You deserve the prize."

Lin Dong understood what he meant.

As a director, he is most afraid of inserting actors who have no acting skills, but those who can only join the cast by "inserting" are those kind of people.

If there are too many things like this in a drama, it will be useless no matter how great the director is.

In the end, he usually finishes filming, takes the money, and leaves, looking for the next project. As for the outcome of the drama, he has no choice but to do it. It's obvious that he has no acting skills. Is it possible that the director can pass on his talents to him?

And an actor with acting skills like Lin Dong.

This is not called blocking.

This is called joining.

"How about playing a police officer? The detective captain is the second most important role in this drama."

Mr. Wu, who was kidnapped, had already decided to play Liu Furong, so naturally he couldn't give it to Lin Dong, and Lin Dong was too young to act that way.

Shi Shanshan looked at Lin Dong.

If Lin Dong is not here, she can help Lin Dong agree. There are only a few characters in this drama, and the detective captain is very good.

But Lin Dong is here.

Smart subordinates never make decisions for their boss.

"I have studied that case, and I prefer the character of the kidnapper. The detective captain is not interesting."
