Perfect Life

It was half past seven in the morning when Lu Qi received the news. [[<?[

At that time, I had just woken up, finished washing up, and was going to have two bites of breakfast to catch a flight.

Then, Xu Guan knocked on the door, and as soon as the door opened, the first sentence he opened his mouth was, "Lu Tai, the ratings of "The Legend of the New White Snake" have gone up again!"

Lu Qi was very calm. He turned his head and saw Xu Guanyi with dark circles under his eyes. He was a little surprised and asked, "How many? Eighteen? Twenty?"

Xu Guanyi said, "I received a call from the station at eleven o'clock last night. It was thirty-five and four."

Lu Qi nodded and continued to button up, but before a button was finished, he was stunned, turned his head slowly, his brows furrowed, his face full of surprise, "How much?"

"In the tenth episode last night, the maximum is thirty-five and four clean up points." Xu Guanyi replied earnestly.

He can deeply understand the feeling of Deputy Director Lu at the moment, because after answering the phone last night, he had been caught in this feeling for more than half an hour.

Lu Qi froze in place, motionless.

After a while, he swallowed subconsciously, but his voice still sounded a little dry, "Thirty-five four?"

Xu Guan nodded, "Thirty-five to four."

"That's right? This data..."

"Absolutely right!" Xu Guanyi replied: "I didn't believe it last night, so I asked the people in the stage to check it for me, and checked it again this morning, it's absolutely right!"

Lu Qi swallowed again.

Unbuttoning the buttons, grinning at his cuffs, he walked a few steps in place, then walked to the sand and sat down.

"Thirty-five-four! Thirty-five-four?"

He frowned and muttered to himself, his voice cadenced, and every time he recited the number, he was filled with all kinds of complicated emotions.

Xu Guanyi didn't dare to speak, just stood there blankly, waiting for Deputy Director Lu's decision.

There is no doubt that 16.8 ratings is a concept, 35.4 ratings, but it is already another concept.

The former is a popular drama, which is worth fighting for by all TV stations, while the latter has already stepped into the classic threshold with one foot. If it is not surprising, no matter how many years have passed, as long as people mention 1999, The launch of "The Legend of the New White Lady" will surely become a node that is hard to forget in people's memory.

After two or three minutes passed, Lu Qi swallowed again and spoke with difficulty. His voice was a little strange, like two rusted knives rubbing against each other, and the rust fell down, "This ratings data...should pass. "Kaiyuan Prosperity"?"

Xu Guan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head quickly, "No! I couldn't sleep last night, so I even checked the information. The highest viewership rate of "The Prosperity of Kaiyuan" is 36.5."

Lu Qi looked slightly relieved. It seemed that the ratings of "The Legend of the New White Snake" were not as high as that of "The Prosperous Age of Kaiyuan". It seemed to him that it was of great significance.

However, at this time, Xu Guanyi hesitated for a while, and then added, "But looking at its posture, tonight's eleventh and twelfth episodes, even if it goes up a little bit, will pass "The Prosperity of Kaiyuan". It's no problem."

Lu Qi looked up at him in silence, and nodded slowly.

Xu Guanyi continued: "Once "The Prosperous Age of Kaiyuan" and "The Legend of the New White Snake" are over, it will become the third most watched TV series in China in the past ten years! Considering "Journey to the West" and "Three Kingdoms" In the special case of "Romance", it is not a big problem to say that it is the first place. Moreover, it is still rising. I received news last night that I couldn't sleep, so I kept thinking about it. This TV series is making a leap almost every day. , how much will its ratings rise before it stops, and I already have nothing in my heart."

Lu Qi nodded again with difficulty.

At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door, and then a voice said from the door: "Director, it's time for us to have breakfast. We have to go out at nine o'clock to catch the plane."

Lu Qi was silent.

So Xu Guanyi took the initiative to walk over and open the door.

When Lu Qi's secretary came in, seeing Xu Guanyi there, he was stunned for a moment, then said hello, and then looked at Lu Qi on the sand.

Lu Qi stretched out his hand and squeezed his forehead, but after a while, he let go, suddenly stood up, walked two steps in the room, and ordered, "Cancel the ticket!" Then he said to Xu Guan: " Lao Xu, help me to find out when Liao Liao will return to China! Also find out where she is now!"

Xu Guanyi first agreed, and then said, "Now? She must be abroad now!"

Lu Qi looked up at him and said slowly, "Let's not talk about being abroad, even on the moon, if necessary, we will fly over immediately!" After a pause, he said, "She is our greatest hope. !"

Xu Guanyi thought for a while after hearing the words, and nodded solemnly with a serious look on his face, "Master Lu, I understand what you mean, I'll go check it right away!" After he finished speaking, he pushed open the door in a hurry and left, full of enthusiasm. Full of looks.

Lu Qi's secretary was still stunned. As soon as Xu Guan left, he asked, "Director, then let's not go back?"

"Go back?" Lu Qi smiled, "If we don't get the second round of this drama, we will never go back!"

His secretary was stunned when he heard the words, "We still need to fight? Didn't you say... Besides, you... are not angry with Minghu Culture?"

Lu Qi turned to look at him and smiled, "Angry?"

He thought for a while, then smiled: "Yeah, of course I'm angry! But as long as the TV series in their hands can bring me a surge in ratings, what's the point of being angry? As long as they nod their heads and give us the second round now, let I'll pour tea and water for Li Qian, and I'm happy!"

...

In the morning, Li Qian and Zhou Ai finished washing up and went out for a jog together.

One month after the beginning of autumn, at noon, it was still relatively hot, but in the morning and in the evening, the Shuntian Mansion had begun to feel a little cooler. Running all the way, people kept saying hello to Li Qian, and Li Qian responded with a smile, and sometimes chatted with people.

To be honest, he is more like a person who lives here all year round than Zhou Hao.

In recent years, the residents of this hutong have not only gotten used to the feeling of being a neighbor with a big star like Zhou Ai, but have also gotten used to seeing the star couple running together and spreading hand in hand from time to time.

The breakfast stall at the entrance of the alley was steaming hot. The two ran over and took a few breaths. Li Qian took out the change. Come on, the recording pen brushed the pestle to the front.

Then I heard the girl speak very quickly: "The audience rating of "The Legend of the New White Snake" has reached an astonishing 35.4%. What do you think about this, can you tell me?"

Out of the corner of Li Qian's eyes, he also caught the camera not far away taking pictures.

He narrowed his eyes slightly with a smile on his face, "Hey, just buy a breakfast, so don't take pictures?"

Many neighbors who ate here have experienced similar situations more than once, and regarded them as a little pleasure in life. The TV show is so good!"

"Yes, it's beautiful!"

"nice!"

"The white lady is so beautiful!"

Everyone was chatting and laughing.

Li Qian smiled, turned around and shook the tofu brain in his hand at everyone.

The female reporter said, "Just ask a few small questions, okay? Sect Master, I am your loyal fan and now your loyal audience, so answer my two questions."

Li Qian was still holding tofu brains and fried dough sticks in his hands, but he still raised his hand to protect Zhou Ai, and the two of them turned their heads and were about to go out.

The little girl was in a hurry, and she refused to give up, "Can I just ask a question?"

Li Qian continued to walk out, and the proprietress of the breakfast place finished the fritters for a guest and shouted, "Hey, hey, Zhou Li Qian, I didn't ask for your money!"

Zhou Hao waved her hand, "I will continue to buy it tomorrow, save it!"

Seeing that Li Qian refused any interview as rumored, the female reporter couldn't help but chase after him and shouted, "Isn't it enough for just one question? I'm a trainee reporter, if I can get you an interview, I can transfer it. You've become an official reporter, can you help me?"

Li Qian stopped when he heard the words and turned to look at her.

The little girl's face really still had a dash of youthful campus atmosphere.

So he sighed, "Okay, just one question, help me!"

The girl's eyes lit up when she heard the words, and she quickly turned around to give a look to her companion who was taking pictures. The young man took a few steps over and began to find the right click.

Zhou Hao took the initiative to take the fritters from Li Qian's hand again.

Although this scene is not uncommon to be honest, many reporters have photographed it, but what should I say, the photos of two top stars and top topical figures coming out to buy breakfast together, carrying tofu brain fritters, ordinary people , The fans just never get tired of watching it, so the value is still great, and more shots are needed.

But at this time, the female reporter was a little embarrassed. She said that she had not thought about it clearly. When Li Qian finally agreed to be interviewed, she hesitated and wanted to ask a lot of questions. Which one should I ask?

And then, well, although it's worth paying attention to when Zhou Ai releases a new album, but who makes "The Legend of the New White Snake" the hottest topic now?

So she asked: "As far as I know, Bai Yujing has been out of the entertainment industry for many years before filming your "The Legend of the New White Snake", can you tell me why you decided to choose her to play the role? Bai Niangzi? How did you convince her to act again?"

Li Qian smiled, "You are too greedy, these are two questions. Only answer the first one, because she is the most suitable, thank you."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and left, saying as he walked, "Stop chasing, keep your word!"

The little girl wanted to cry without tears, seeing Li Qian walking away with the tofu brain, he turned to look at his little friend, and said with a sad face: "Is the question I asked too simple, he answered it in a few words. "

The photojournalist looked at her in surprise, "It's alright, I think it's enough to be able to get these words out of his mouth! I've been with so many reporters, and I can get a few words out of his mouth. There are not many here! Just these few words, you go back and add more fuel, the editor-in-chief will give you at least a 1,500-word version, don’t worry!”

The little girl didn't believe it, "Really? But just a few words!"

The photojournalist said sternly: "But those words were spoken by Li Qian himself!"

...

This morning, I don’t know how many TV station staff from all over the world who had already planned to go home and even booked their air tickets, suddenly decided to stay after receiving the news. Those who came to Shuntian Prefecture and those who did not plan to come to Shuntian Prefecture suddenly decided to book air tickets to fly directly to Shuntian Prefecture.

In short, after receiving the data from Tan Dezhang on the phone, this night, Qi Jie felt that she slept with unprecedented ease. Although she was excited and couldn't fall asleep in the first half of the night, she fell asleep this night, even though it was only four or five hours. When I woke up, I felt full and healthy like never before.

She knows that Li Qian has done his job well, and he has done it almost impeccably. The TV series "Legend of the New White Snake" is excellent enough that all TV stations have nothing in front of him. The shelf speaks for itself.

And next, all I need to do is to try my best to maximize the revenue of this TV series.

Of course, this maximization does not necessarily mean that the most money will be sold. Another important aspect is that Minghu Culture, which will definitely embark on the road of film and television drama production in the planning in the next few years, needs to be sold nationwide. Among so many TV stations, choose a few to cultivate into future long-term partners.

To a certain extent, this is even more important than selling millions more now!

And this is the top priority of all her work in the following period.

She was looking forward to it.

In fact, she was still eating breakfast here, and before she went out, she had already received a call from the company. The security department specially reminded him, "It's just ordered, and a lot of people have already come to the door of the company!"

Qi Jie knew that it should be the directors of the purchasing department of major TV stations. Even, maybe there is the level of deputy director.

In short, they are all held by other film and television companies as grandfathers, and they may not be able to invite people in the past.

...

The rule of Suntian Film Academy is that the second and third year classes start the earliest, because they need to cooperate with the school's arrangement to organize the welcome new students, the freshman year second, and the senior year the latest.

In fact, by the time of the senior year, the courses arranged by the school are almost gone. No matter how you insist on the true nature of the school, but the market environment is like that, stubbornness is like a smooth shadow, and they have to adjust their teaching plans according to the situation. At least, their curriculum arrangements must make it easier for their students to go out for internships for the next graduation. After the work, be a foreshadowing.

Therefore, for the next semester, no matter what major you are in, there is only one highlight for everyone, and that is graduation homework.

The acting department has to arrange big plays, the directing department has to come up with their own small works, the production department, the photography department, the art department, etc. Anyway, the school wants to see you make something, and it is in the film school's graduation grading system. , This graduation work accounts for a large proportion.

As a student of acting, no matter how high your test scores are and your theory is, if you stand in front of the camera and lose your mind, it will be of no use!

Sophomores and juniors have already started, and the registration of freshmen is in progress, but seniors like Li Qian and the others only need to report to the school before September 3rd.

Even if there are other arrangements, you can directly submit a leave request, and it will take several months to grant you a few months.

Zhu Qiang's drama was completely finished yesterday. A group of drama managers who were familiar with each other on weekdays gathered together and held a banquet for himself in private. Of course, several important actors in the crew came over halfway to congratulate Zhu Qiang for finishing the project. In the end, even director Song Xudong came over and sat down to have a cup with Zhu Qiang, which is a digression.

Zhu Qiang has entered three groups so far. The first time I went in and made a cameo appearance as a passerby with only a few lines, the camera flashed immediately after the filming, and the crew didn't even count his lunch box into the number, so naturally it's impossible to talk about impressions or impressions.

But the second time, and this third time, he was basically able to get along with everyone on the crew.

Only this time, the situation was a little different from the last time.

At first, he was just a small actor, he was happy when he had a role, and when he got off the show, he became one with the drama executives, but later, as Zhou Yuhai said at the beginning, even he himself regarded himself as a small actor. But the people around him obviously don't think so anymore.

On Monday night, "Legend of the New White Snake" rushed to 16.8 o'clock in one breath. When he woke up the next morning, he received more than a dozen calls in one breath. In the end, before going to the play , he even had to turn off his phone to calm himself down a bit and find the character's feel.

As for those phone calls, of course, those who have not heard before, the famous and not famous, anyway, they are all film and television companies and brokerage companies!

Some made an appointment for dinner, some made an appointment to talk, some expressed their desire to come to the film and television city right away, and some started to make various promises directly on the phone!

Dai Yufeng, manager of the artist department of Dayi Film and Television Co., also called again yesterday, because she was the first agent to contact her, so Zhu Qiang was more impressed by her.

On the phone, Dai Yufeng's attitude seemed to be quite different from last time.

She didn't say anything else, just cared and said: "I heard that you don't have a car yourself, right? I asked your director, and he told me that your play was finished today, so that's how the film and television city is far from the city. Far away, I'll go to the crew to pick you up in the afternoon, okay, let's find a place, have a meal together, and have a good chat!"

But Zhu Qiang hesitated for a moment, and told her decisively that he was going to have dinner with some friends from the crew tonight, and declined.

Then, he chose to shut down.

But after a night of hangover, he woke up the next morning. He packed his things and prepared to leave the crew silently and take the bus back to Shuntianfu. However, just after walking out of the hotel gate, he suddenly found that several cars in the parking lot suddenly opened their doors. Several men and women got out of the car one after another, their eyes locked directly on themselves, and they rushed over quickly. (To be continued.) 8
