"Crossing Guandong" will be screened at prime time tomorrow. Considering that the ratings are not yet clear, the interview program is scheduled to be a column on the international channel.

As a major drama and gift film to kick off the new year in 2008, CCTV put a lot of effort into early publicity. Not only did each channel take turns to broadcast the broadcast information, but Xinwen Lianbo even gave an advertisement at the end.

With such publicity, the returns were equally generous. Even before it was aired, more than RMB 500 million was sold in advertising fees at the prime resource advertising bidding meeting for the New Year's Eve drama.

It has become a consensus inside and outside the industry that film and television is a hugely profitable industry. The only difference is that movies make huge profits from producers, while TV dramas make huge profits from TV stations.

Xu Rong had previously been to many TV stations to record programs due to the popularity of "Bright Sword" and "Yangcheng Hidden Whistle", but this was the first time for CCTV.

He hurried to the CCTV building and entered the backstage of the studio. He also saw several acquaintances whom he had not seen for a long time.

"Captain."

"Hello, Teacher Sa."

"Song Jia, long time no see."

"How are you doing lately?"

"fine."

Li Youbin was looking at the script carefully. When he saw Xu Rong coming over, he opened his mouth and asked, "I forgot to ask you, why did you borrow the money?"

Xu Rong shrugged his shoulders and said, "Pay the tuition."

"How can you charge one million for tuition?" Li Youbin looked at him suspiciously, "Didn't you go gambling?"

Xu Rong took the script sent by the director team, said "thank you", then turned around and said in surprise: "You still want to borrow it for gambling?"

Li Youbin laughed and asked: "Why don't you borrow it? What's wrong with losing everything to you now? You're young and you can get up again if you fall down. You should learn a lesson, otherwise you can get married and start a business in the future.

, wife and children have a small nest, and if you fall into it, it will be really bad."

"You are very considerate of your intentions. I don't even play poker. How can I gamble?"

Xu Rong smiled and shook his head. He knew very well how addictive gambling was. Every time the big wheel spun, he was frightened.

However, if there is another opportunity to spin the big wheel next time, he will not hesitate. With the increase of shooting experience, he has changed his expectation from "photographic memory" to "constant peak".

If his guess is correct, this trait is the most valuable in the big carousel.

Actors are human beings first, and they will encounter all kinds of things, and their physiological functions will also rise and fall. Especially as the filming process enters the middle and late stages, no actor can always maintain the best condition.

At present, his overall evaluation is not too high, and the ups and downs are not that big, but if it is improved to A+ or even higher in the future, the trait of "constant peak" will be attached.

How awesome is that?

You still have to give your dream a chance.

The program schedule is only about 20 minutes, Xu Rong has relatively few lines, eight questions, and the interview content mainly focuses on Li Youbin and Sarina.

Li Youbin and Sa Rina carried the script quietly. Xu Rong passed it about twice, sat down next to Song Jia who was also waiting boredly, and whispered to her in a low voice.

Xu Rong glanced at Song Jia, whose chest was completely white, and asked: "Is this how you dress? Aren't you cold?"

"It's cold." Song Jia rolled her eyes at him and said, "But I can't keep it as tight as you, right? By the way, I haven't asked you yet, how are things going?"

Xu Rong grinned and said, "It's done."

"How long do you plan to study for?"

"It depends on the situation. The current progress is not too ideal. It is estimated that it will take two thirty months." Seeing that Song Jia seemed to want to get to the bottom of things, he hurriedly blocked her mouth, "After all, the difference is quite big since they have switched careers."

"By the way, how did you get that role? The script is really good, but I feel that just the two of us may not be able to handle it. I think many scenes have too high requirements for supporting roles." Song Jia seemed.

Dong Fei nodded understandingly and then asked about another concern.

Xu Rong naturally understands this risk, but there is nothing he can do about it. A bad film will definitely not produce a good film, but a good film may not necessarily look good. There are too many factors that affect it, just like those versions of

The plot of "Legend of the Condor Heroes" is roughly the same, but some people are just terrible at filming.

So sometimes when accepting a movie, you can't just look at the script, director, investment scale, cast, and post-production team. They are all crucial links. After all, there are only a few like "Bright Sword".

There is no doubt about director Jiang Wei's ability. After all, he has had successful works, and he does not doubt the level of himself and Song Jia. As for whether the key supporting roles will hold back, it depends on Jiang Wei's ability to deceive.

Li Youbin's ears pricked up after Xu Rong murmured to Song Jia. He could tell early on that Song Jia was not a peaceful person. Before anything happened, he got involved with Zhang Li and made his wife and children miserable.

scattered.

"You two want to cooperate?" Li Youbin suddenly turned his head and looked at Xu Rong with a scrutinizing gaze.

Xu Rong nodded and said: "Yes, the school teacher introduced a play. I thought she was quite suitable for the female lead, so I recommended her."

"Oh." Li Youbin and Xu Rong looked at each other for a while, and finally laughed twice. From Xu Rong's reaction, he knew that he had misunderstood, so he turned around and continued to memorize the script.

Seeing Li Youbin's dry smile, Xu Rong realized the deeper meaning of his inspection, and could only shake his head speechlessly. He dealt with Song Jia purely because he admired her business ability. Judging from the current situation, Song Jia and he originally wanted to

Almost.

As for whether it was for profit and fame, or whether it was the pursuit of love by a literary and artistic young man, he had no way of verifying it, and he didn't care much.

When Xu Rong was about to chat with Song Jia about the plot of the play, the female host who had already put on makeup came over and said gracefully: "Teachers, how are the preparations going?"

"I am Meng Shengnan, and I am today's host."

Meng Shengnan has a icy face and a pointed chin. He looks to be in his twenties. He is wearing a bright red suit and high heels. He looks quite confident.

The director who came with Meng Shengnan said at this time: "Teachers, let's arrange it first?"

Like a sophisticated machine.

This is the overall feeling of Xu Rong's recording of a program. Even if it is not live broadcast, everything is according to the script, and their answers have been adjusted by the director team.

Serious and rigorous.

And it's terrifyingly rigid.

Xu Rong has been to many TV stations, but he has never been so step-by-step like this one. He even speculated that if it were not difficult to achieve, the program team would ask them to record their answers and then lip-sync.

Don't give him even the slightest chance to express himself freely.

It was past ten o'clock when the program was finished, and everyone except Xu Rong, Li Youbin, Sarina, and Song Jia had to rush back to the set overnight.

Rushing, like fighting.

Early the next morning, Xu Rong held Xiao Zhang's hand and began to think about their future for the first time.

Yesterday, he originally wanted to invite everyone to have a supper together, but Li Youbin and the three of them were in a hurry to catch a plane and didn't even have much time to talk.

Maybe in the future, this will be the norm that he and Xiao Zhang will face.

Halfway through their junior year, they will actually graduate in one year.

When he had dinner with Deng Chao and Sun Li earlier, he heard Deng Chao mention a few words about his and Sun Li's life. Throughout the year, most of the time they were busy with various announcements. Sun Li was relatively withdrawn because of her personality.

I only took on one drama, and basically spent half of my time at home resting, but even so, I spent less time together and more separation.

Deng Chao sighed at the time: "Since you are in this business, you have to learn to get used to it."

For just a short while, Xu Rong couldn't picture a better future, because classmate Xiao Zhang has been rushing to be a movie star since the beginning.

Classmate Xiao Zhang seemed to remember something and asked: "Teacher Xu, the notebook you showed me yesterday looked very nice. Why don't you take it?"

Xu Rong looked at her in surprise and asked, "Very beautiful?"

"Yes, yes." Xiao Zhang nodded vigorously, his eyes shining brightly, "It's even more beautiful than rural love."

Xu Rong blinked his eyes, and he finally understood why those mother-in-law dramas about parents with filthy parents were so popular.

It is true that these dramas do not have the ups and downs and turmoil in the grand historical background like "The Ming Dynasty", but "Country Love" and "Golden Wedding" are short-lived and trivial, and the audience just likes them.

With the improvement of material life, the general public's need for spiritual life has begun to shift from lofty praise, praise, and history to focusing on themselves.

At this moment, he seemed to see a major trend in the development of TV dramas, returning to reality and reflecting reality.

The plot is reasonable and the spiritual core is the foundation. Expressing realistic demands may become one of the major trends now and even in the future.

Just like the gradually emerging costume palace battles, although these dramas are disguised as historical dramas, they do not strictly tell history at all. If the lines are changed to be more popular and modern, and the actors' clothes are replaced by suits and ties, they can actually be filmed as workplace dramas.

drama.

But these are just his feelings. He will have to discuss it later with Wang Qingxiang and Shi Lanya. These two people have quite unique vision.

"Teacher Xu, will you miss me?"

"Xiao Zhang, your question is very strange. You should ask me when I miss you."

"hey-hey."

When he saw the ticket check-in and boarding started, classmate Xiao Zhang suddenly leaned over and pecked the side of Xu Rong's face that was not covered by the mask. Then he picked up the suitcase and ran away with his ears slightly red: "Teacher Xu, I'm leaving.

"

Classmate Xiao Zhang is going home to celebrate the New Year.

There is reluctance, but not too much sadness. The separation is short, but the future is still long.

Just like in the past, they always separated, but every once in a while, they would always meet again.

Looking at the back of classmate Xiao Zhang as he boarded the plane, Xu Rong gradually understood the reason why classmate Xiao Zhang traveled thousands of miles to the Magic City.

In another half month, he will also go to Anshi to celebrate the birthday of Xiao Zhang and eat cake. In essence, it is just a formality, and more of a way to express concern.

From this, he also thought of more. For example, in the future, grandpa's birthday should no longer be like before. There is no concept and habit of birthdays at all. There are also some friends who have to send a text message even if they can't go there.
