Perfect Life

Night, Shuntian House.し

The lamp was very bright, and He Jinbo was smoking one cigarette after another.

The TV series has been aired, but the shock of his heart brought by the TV series has far stopped.

As a professional film critic and freelance writer, he has never written any TV reviews, but he just saw the sixth episode of the TV series, and he felt he couldn't help it.

There is a ** that wants to talk and want to praise loudly, which is almost impossible to contain in the heart.

Just, how to write it?

The reason why I am troubled by how to write is not because this TV series has nowhere to write, nor because it has nothing to praise, on the contrary, it is precisely because there are too many advantages and strengths of this TV series, On the contrary, He Jinbo couldn't find the best entry point for a while.

The way it tells the story is very old-fashioned, but the story is not afraid of getting old, but you are afraid that you will not tell it. If the level is in place, the more old-fashioned the story, the better it looks; its pictures, photography and editing, although I dare not say that it is comparable to the movie level, but to be honest, considering that in the domestic film circles, it is common for shoddy imitation and plagiarism, so to say that it has reached the level of a movie is not necessarily praised. To be precise, it should have achieved it. In the movie, it is also enough to be ranked in the mid-range level; its actors' performances are extremely brilliant. Needless to say, Bai Niangzi, Bai Yujing, who has re-emerged from the mountain, has almost completely reborn acting skills, and interprets Bai Suzhen's tenderness and wisdom. , and the two actors, Xiaoqing and Xu Xian, are also particularly worthy of commenting. There is a saying in the cross talk circle that "seven points hold three points of amuse". Bai Suzhen's play can come out of this flavor, at least more than half of the credit should be credited. Remember these two actors...

There was so much I wanted to say and write, and for a while, I didn't know where to start.

He had to smoke one cigarette after another.

The big ceiling fan in the house was spinning, and the smoke was flying out of the exit.

While thinking hard, the phone rang suddenly.

He frowned slightly in dissatisfaction, but still picked it up and connected.

"Hey, old He, have you read "The Legend of the New White Lady"?"

"Well, I see."

"Write an article. I think this TV series is going to be popular. If you write one, let's try to get the first shot! Don't let other newspapers take the lead."

He Jinbo smoked a cigarette and said, "I don't know if it's hot or not, I'm definitely going to write something about it, because of this drama, they did it with too much care. This is a setting for our current domestic film and television circle. It’s a benchmark! Whether it’s a movie or a TV series, I really think that once the check is signed, a group of people will be able to make it well? Don’t worry, no matter how much money you invest, you won’t get anything good.”

The other end of the phone laughed twice, obviously he was already familiar with and accustomed to this kind of energy in He Jinbo, and when He Jinbo finished his grand speech, the other end said: "That's good, it's up to you, tomorrow. Even if our headline comment is finalized, when can we get the manuscript?"

In normal times, He Jinbo has always been known as a very talented person. A comment of several thousand words is simply waiting for him, and as long as it comes from him, it must be full of praise. But this time, He Jinbo hesitated when he heard the words, and said, "I don't dare to give you any promise. There are too many things to write and want to write. After a while, I don't know how to write."

The other end of the phone made an "um", and then suddenly said, "That's fine. You can count when you write it down. No matter what the point is, you can call me. As soon as the manuscript comes out, I'll go and get it right away!" After a while, he said again: "By the way, old He, I think you should turn on your computer and look at those forums. The Internet has exploded now. All kinds of praises, I think you should go and see what people have to say. , maybe it can give you some inspiration for your writing ideas?"

He Jinbo heard the words and said "um" again. Although he has always disliked things on the Internet, He Jinbo knows that although the Internet is full of mud and sand, there are actually many experts.

After hanging up the phone, he hesitated for a moment, still at a loss, still not knowing how to write a pen.

In the end, when he looked up, he saw that it was already half past eleven on the wall clock. After thinking about it, he had no choice but to turn on the computer.

The internet has really exploded.

He Jinbo started watching "Legend of the New White Snake" from yesterday, the third episode. It was also at that time that after watching the TV series, he would habitually wander around the major forums, and whenever he saw someone's statement, he was in his heart. , he couldn't help but hit the festival for it!

But the number of posts yesterday is nothing compared to the number of posts today!

Of course, the constant is that there are almost zero negative reviews.

He Jinbo read the posts one after another on major forums, and when he saw the kind of brainless touts that only know how to brag, but in fact can't say anything, he exhaled from his nostrils, snorted coldly, and said A good article that was just right, or commented directly into his heart, he couldn't help shaking his head with emotion and praise, wishing to catch that person over and have a chat.

There are a lot of posts, with some weight and some ideas, but not too few.

Among the piles of gravel, every now and then a few pieces of gold can be found.

However, looking at it, it was already one o'clock in the middle of the night. He Jinbo found that the posts in these forums continued to increase, often after twenty or thirty minutes, and then refreshed the screen full of new posts. He couldn't help but feel He stopped, thought about it, and lit another cigarette for himself. Then while smoking, staring at the endless variety of posts on the screen, I couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

He is not the kind of film critic who is too sensitive to the box office. In the past, when he went to see a movie and wrote a film review, he always only focused on the movie itself, and almost never did anything like predict the box office. But now, no matter how sensitive he is to the box office, or the ratings of TV dramas, he has already sensed something from the changes in post discussions and from this explosive new post.

At this time, when he recalled the phone call from Lao Zhao just now, he couldn't help but nodded.

The reputation of this TV series has already risen!

It can be expected that the suspension of the broadcast on Saturday and Sunday for the next two days will make people who have already watched this TV series miss it very much. Therefore, compared to tomorrow, the Internet will be more lively, and when it resumes work on Monday, when those After two days of holding back, the audience returned to their work and social occasions. The reputation of this TV series is expected to usher in a bigger explosion.

Going further and thinking about it, the students will start school soon. When the students start school on September 1 and gather again, it will be another word-of-mouth explosion.

Of course, this is a good thing. Absolutely good.

For the audience, and for practitioners in the film and television industry, it is a great thing.

For the audience, they have gained another well-made, conscientious, and high-level TV series, and they can see a good story. For practitioners in the film and television industry, a benchmark was born.

What is a good story? How to tell a good story?

Behold, this is a model, a model!

To a certain extent, the emergence of this TV series is even more important to the latter than the former.

Now is the time when the domestic film market is collapsing!

This movie just came at the right time!

After thinking about it, he simply got up and left the computer, went back to the desk, picked up his mobile phone, and called back.

The phone rang only once before being picked up, and Lao Zhao seemed to be surprised at the other end, "It's finished so soon?"

He Jinbo pulled out his chair, sat down, and said, "Lao Zhao, I want to write this manuscript carefully. Do you have any relevant information you can provide me?"

Old Zhao Wenyan said: "The data... Hehe, it's all gossip data. It is said that this TV series has caused competition among several TV stations. In the end, it was bought by Hunan TV at a high price. It is said that because of this, Huaxia TV station. It's almost going to block Minghu Culture... You won't be interested in these things! Oh, by the way, I have the ratings I just got here, do you want it?"

He Jinbo didn't want to hear it at first, but he said, "Tell me."

There was a clattering sound of paper flipping over there, and then Lao Zhao said loudly: "I just got the news, tonight's sixth episode of "The Legend of the New White Lady" has a national audience rating of 7.2. During the same period, Huaxia TV is currently broadcasting. "Youth is not a poem" has dropped from a high of 7.4 yesterday to only 7.1. That is to say, this TV series has already won the championship of the same period last night! Of course, the prime time at 8 p.m. , This ratings champion must be the all-day ratings champion! It's just that on Wednesday, the highest ratings of "Youth is not a poem" was 7.6, so this week's TV series ratings champion, and a few days ago, it was also Wen Chao's "Legend of the New White Snake", so Champion Zhou must still be "Youth is Not Poetry"."

After a pause, he added: "Oh, yes, and also, in the past six months, hunan TV's highest rating was 3.7, and last year's highest rating was 4.3, and this "Legend of the White Snake" was launched. On the first day, it was a maximum of 2.7, the second day was a maximum of 4.6, and on the third day, the sixth episode just passed, as I said earlier, it was 7.2... Every day is a big step! Let me tell you, No one can suppress this TV series now, and of course, no one wants to suppress it on purpose, in short, just wait and see, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, all the media across the country will definitely swarm it!"

He Jinbo let out an "um" and suddenly said, "I want to interview Li Qian, the director of this play, can you make an appointment for me?"

The other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, and then Lao Zhao smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, don't embarrass me? It's not the first day you know him, do you think I might be able to make an appointment for you?"

He Jinbo sighed helplessly when he heard the words "En" again.

Yes, although he is just a film critic, he has never had much knowledge of the music scene, but he is as popular as Li Qian, even if he just listens to a few words, he knows about it.

First, he never promotes himself; second, he almost never appears on any variety show, nor does he accept any interviews, and he is not even willing to appear in public. He is said to be a creative madman; third, he is indeed a great talent. Not only the output is very large, but also the quality is very high. It can be called a high-quality product. Well, now, this point is even more certain, because He Jinbo does not understand music, but he is quite proficient in movies and TV series; fourth, lust, Flower heart.

The first three points are worthy of a hundred likes in He Jinbo's heart, and the last point, um, can be summed up in one word: geniuses have a common problem.

Putting down the phone, He Jinbo took out the manuscript paper, hesitated for a moment, and finally wrote a line of title - "My View of Winning the Ratings".

After thinking about it, I crossed it out, and wrote "I want to go by winning the championship".

…………

The next day is Saturday.

Zhu Qiang's role in the "Excalibur Lu Sanping" crew has three sets of shots left. According to the shooting plan, in about four days, his role can be completely ended.

When he got up early in the morning, after cleaning himself up, he habitually went to the hotel's in-house restaurant for breakfast. As soon as he entered the door, he originally went straight to the place where the crew members gathered, but who knows, he saw from a distance. He, the assistant director Xiao Pengcheng waved to him, "Xiao Zhu, come here! Come and eat here!"

Zhu Qiang hurried over before he had time to make dinner. Xiao Pengcheng smiled and greeted him to come and sit down, and then casually instructed the drama manager next to him, "Xiao Zhou, go and make breakfast for Xiao Zhu."

Zhu Qiang was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "No, no, I'll do it myself!"

At this time, director Song Xudong suddenly laughed and said, "It's alright, come and sit down and let Xiao Zhou call you!"

Zhu Qiang was stunned for a moment, his eyes met Zhou Yuhai sitting opposite the round table, Zhou Yuhai blinked at him and smiled.

He hesitated for a moment, and said "thank you" to Xiao Zhou, who had already stood up and went to help him make meals, then sat down and said hello, "Good morning, Director Song, good morning, Director Xiao."

Xiao Pengcheng smiled and nodded, but did not speak.

Director Song Xudong took a mouthful of porridge, put down the bowl, and said, "Xiao Zhu, I have seen your performance in the crew these days, acting, and being a person, you can't choose! In this play, let's The cooperation is very pleasant, and I will have another opportunity when I look back, and I will cooperate with you!"

Zhu Qiang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and quickly thanked him.

For a young actor who has just entered the industry, it is naturally a great affirmation for Zhu Qiang to get such an evaluation from the director. In particular, director Song Xudong is also very talented in the circle of TV dramas. He has works almost every year. He expressed his hope that the lower drama will continue to cooperate. For Zhu Qiang, it means that there is another way to take the drama.

So, when Xiao Zhou helped bring the meal, Zhu Qiang had a big appetite for this meal.

Sitting at the table of the director, assistant director, director of photography, and several heavyweight actors in the crew, Zhu Qiang suddenly felt that he was a little different from before. Although it was just a simple breakfast, he listened to the words on the table. The big coffees were chatting and laughing, and that feeling made him feel quite cool.

After the meal, he was about to help move things when the assistant director Xiao Pengcheng stopped him and whispered, "Director Song watched the play you filmed last night, and when he woke up this morning, he told me and Teacher Zhou that he thought you It's very promising!"

After he finished speaking, he patted Zhu Qiang on the shoulder, smiled inscrutable, and walked away.

After a while, Zhou Yuhai also came over, put his arms around his shoulder, and whispered, "Get ready, you are really going to be popular!"

…………

In the morning, Zhu Qiang felt a little dizzy.

At 10:30, he was hiding outside the filming location to enjoy the shade with a few of the crew when the phone rang suddenly.

is an unfamiliar number.

He got up, took two steps away, and connected.

On the other end of the phone was a woman's voice, which sounded very calm, probably not a little girl.

As soon as she got connected, she said, "Hello, is that Zhu Qiang? I am here at Dayi Film and Television, have you heard of it?"

Zhu Qiang was stunned for a moment. Of course he had heard of this company. Uh, no, isn't this "Excalibur Lu Sanping" said to have an investment from Dayi Film and Television? It is said to account for two or three percent!

"Oh, hello, I'm Zhu Qiang, who are you?"

"Well, I'm the artist department manager of Dayi Film and Television Company. My name is Dai Yufeng. I wonder if you've heard of me? Zhao Zhigang and Liu Meiling are both actors I brought, do you know me?"

"Oh... hello hello, I know, I know."

I have never heard of Dai Yufeng, but Zhao Zhigang and Liu Meiling do know. The former is even a senior brother of Shunying Performance Department.

On the other end of the phone, Dai Yufeng continued: "It's easy to know, that's it, I heard that you don't seem to have an agent, and you haven't signed a brokerage contract with any company, right?"

Zhu Qiang nodded, "Uh, yes, I haven't signed for the time being." In fact, he was just a fledgling, and no one wanted to take him at all.

On the other end of the phone, Dai Yufeng said: "Then, think about it and sign up for our company. Although I can't promise you a few plays a year or something like ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, I'm very optimistic about you, and you know that Yes, we at Da Yi have to shoot several dramas every year. As the manager of the artist department, I have a certain right to recommend actors. Zhi Gang is your brother, isn't he? He is your example! He is now, every year He can receive four or five dramas, and I can help him win at least one of them to be the male lead! You sign up with me, I can guarantee that the recommendation I give you will never be smaller than his! "

Zhu Qiang was a little confused.

First of all, he was a little surprised that an agent would take the initiative to contact him so soon, and then he was even more surprised that it was a large company like Dayi Film and Television.

In the domestic TV drama circle, although Da Yi is not the largest, it has rich experience in the shooting of martial arts films. Several martial arts films are produced every year. It is said that the first movie will be made recently. Of course, martial arts movies.

Putting it aside in the past, it was impossible for Zhu Qiang to even think about being able to sign up for such a film and television company with a certain standard.
