Chapter 78 Dreams(1/2)
Liu Heping squatted on the curb without any famous scholar, unscrewed the mineral water bottle, and poured half a bottle of water. Then he gasped and waved his hands and said, "Xu Rong, no, no, I can do it anymore, I've been smoothed out for me these two days. Hey, why is it so difficult to shoot a good movie?"
In the past two days, the two of them met and didn’t know each other, and some of them went to seven or eight families. Some of them had a talk, and some of them politely declined their requests for various reasons.
There was no way for the two of them to refuse. After all, they were acting with a reduction in their pay, which all depends on their mood.
Xu Rong also angrily, leaning against the car door, and said, "Are you talking nonsense? You don't look at who we choose? In other dramas, they must be a big match. When we get here, we have to be less than a hundred scenes. After the film pay is over, it is natural that people refuse."
However, Xu Rong was not in a hurry. There were so many actors in the theater, and no matter how many vacancies were, he could find them to fill them.
As long as he, Chen Baoguo and Wang Qingxiang don’t have any major problems, the others are easy to say.
"Hey, who do you think can do the role of Ma Hanshan?" Liu Heping twisted the bottle cap and asked.
Xu Rong said without thinking: "I won't say anything anymore. One of the three people, Fan Wei, Cheng Yu or Hou Yong, followed by Li Youbin or Li Baotian. Li Youbin is not good. He has no schedule. If the remaining four can't be discussed, he can only help Wang Zhiwen or Wang Xueqi."
Liu Heping opened his mouth and after a long time, he said, "You are indeed a bit reluctant to do this."
Of course, Xu Rong knew that the possibility of realization was not high, because just now Fan Wei had rejected them and said, "Of these people, I can guarantee that the only one who can invite them for free is Wang Xueqi, but in the end, do you have a friendship with Cheng Yu and Hou Yong?"
Liu Heping did not answer him immediately, but looked at him in confusion and asked, "You are very familiar with Wang Xueqi?"
Xu Rong shook his head and said, "I'm not familiar, but he met once when he watched my drama performance. He told me privately that if there was a suitable role, he would definitely call him."
Liu Heping looked at him in confusion: "No, you are not familiar with him, can he say that?"
Xu Rong sneered, and he couldn't guess what bad water was holding in Wang Xueqi's stomach.
Wang Xueqi, Li Xuejian and Pu Cunxi are all good friends, and Made obviously wants to abuse himself when his business level is not as good as them.
And that old boy Li Youbin always wants to pull himself into filming, but none of them have any good intentions.
Not even in case, this opportunity is absolutely impossible to give!
"This matter is actually a long story. In the early years, he answered a call with me."
Xu Rong looked at the strange call, hesitated for a while, and then put it in his ear: "Hey, who are you?"
"No, can you tell me who you are first?"
"Hey hey, hey, Teacher Cheng, hey, Teacher Cheng."
"Yes, right, right, is preparing, is preparing."
"Okay, okay, that's so thankful. I'll come to my house and I to thank you."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Rong laughed and said, "Old Liu, Ma Hanshan has solved it!"
Liu Heping raised his head with a "rubbing" and asked, "What's going on?"
Xu Rongyang raised the cell phone in his hand and said, "I guess, maybe the reputation of our play has spread. Now, Cheng Yu has come to the door. Next, it's not that we begged others to reduce their pay, but that others begged us to give the role."
"Tick tick..."
As he was talking, Liu Heping's retro phone rang. After a while of greeting, Liu Heping looked at Xu Rong blankly. After a while, he sat on the ground and slapped the ground and laughed loudly.
But as he smiled, his eyes gradually turned red.
He has been preparing for this script for four years. In the past four years, he traveled all over the Taiwan Strait and the Three Places, entrusted countless relationships, and consulted many archives in the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan Province before he could barely complete it. However, he unexpectedly got stuck in the most important link of investment.
After all, Liu Heping was not a professional actor, so he couldn't squeeze out a tear in the end. He just said with emotion: "Xu Rong, thank you."
He also knew in his heart that Xu Rong would definitely lose money when investing in this drama. Even if he was sold in the form of 4+4+N, he would never make money.
With the rampant piracy market in China, they have to burn high incense if this drama can make a profit.
Xu Rong reached out and pulled him up, saying, "Okay, okay, I know you are excited, so be more at ease. After all, I'm old and haven't filmed the other scenes yet, you can't do it now."
Liu Heping slapped the dust on his butt and said, "You guy is really a fool. When you ran to my house to beg me, if you said that, do you believe it or not, I'll slap you with a big ear?"
“Get on the bus.”
Xu Rong walked to the other side of the car and said, "But let it go. If it weren't for me, could "The Ming Dynasty" be broadcast? I only got the copyright after mortgaged the house."
"It would be boring if you say that."
"You mentioned the previous one first."
“Where to go?”
Xu Rong said naturally: "Go home and rest. You can contact Zhang Li or Zhang Xinjian first. After that, you will set a time to try the show together. No matter how big the wrist is, wait first."
"I just realized now that Zhang Li is really accurate in judging people."
Liu Heping was stunned for a while, and inexplicably sighed, seeing Xu Rong's face showing confusion, and explained: "When filming "The Ming Dynasty", Zhang Li said that you will definitely succeed in the future. Now that you are not interested in this, you have to try it if you are not interested."
“Everyone follows the same thing.”
Xu Rong did not explain the reason. All of these were from Zhang Ji Middle School.
He disliked Zhang Jizhong, but he would not deny his ability. At least Zhang Jizhong was hyping, and ordinary people really couldn't compare with him.
While Xu Rong and Liu Heping were overwhelmed by their hardships, CCTV, Tianjin Satellite TV, and Henan Satellite TV were all facing great enemies.
In September 2019, CCTV decided to "The Dark War Before Dawn" led by Du Yulu as the opening drama, while the four local stations in Beijing, Tianjin, Shandong and Henan bought the premiere of "The Iron Age" starring Chen Baoguo and Feng Yuanzheng.
Xu Rong has learned some of the situation from the complaints of Zhu Jiang, deputy director of the editorial office of Beijing Satellite TV. CCTV is determined to suppress Mango TV, ensuring its leading position in the industry and its monopoly in the first year's drama. Beijing Satellite TV and Shandong Satellite TV are simply rushing to make it on the shelves. Beijing Satellite TV and Shandong Satellite TV broadcast his dramas one time or two times, and there is no intention of fighting with CCTV and Mango TV, but it cannot stand the two companies in Tianjin and Henan, and they must be bayonets.
When Zhu Jiang called him, he could hardly hear anything else in his voice except despair.
As the Gregorian New Year approaches, the national TV stations are also focusing on the "New Year's Day drama" of seven TV stations.
The "New Year's drama" in the past has always been a private place for CCTV. Local TV stations cannot compare with the largest CCTV elder brother. However, in recent years, because CCTV always acts like a boss, he keeps down the price when buying movies, and wants to make a penny without letting the producer make money. As a result, he gradually cannot buy too good movies and has given local TV stations opportunities in disguise. However, due to its huge influence, there is still no competition in the "New Year's drama".
As various TV stations are bored broadcasting old or less important new films, the market share battle between seven TV stations on the "New Year's drama" has begun.
January 2, 2011.
Zhou Xie was nestled behind the desk, holding a cigarette that was about to burn out in his hand and was motionless, while the ashtray in front of him was already full of cigarette butts.
It's the New Year's Day holiday now, but he doesn't feel like having a holiday at all, nor does he feel like he's having a New Year's Day. At this time, he regrets how arrogant he was before, because he made his chest so loudly, and the ratings of "Before Dawn" have made the leaders in the stage who are very happy and have decided to compete for the market share of the "New Year's drama".
In order to make contributions in one fell swoop, Taiwan has almost poured all its publicity resources into "Snow Leopard" in the past two months, causing colleagues from other channels to complain.
This also led to the situation where he was now being baked on the fire.
Although "Before Dawn" was so popular, "Snow Leopard" was not a spy war after all, and it was widely promoted for two months. If it had a premiere of 0.3, it would fall sharply the next day, and the spitting stars could drown him.
CCTV.
"Leader, leader, the data is out!"
"How about it?"
“Premier viewership ratings are 1.98.”
“Where is the market share?”
“4.83!”
"This result is pretty good."
At the same time, in addition to the necessary duty staff, less than half a ghost was seen on the stage.
This year, CCTV and Mango TV have obviously been in the game. They were simply implicated by two pig teammates and became one of the participants.
But in fact, they have no desire to fight.
However, Henan TV and Tianjin TV, which are quite strong in the spirit of showing their swords, are still waiting anxiously.
Many practitioners with keen sense of smell in the TV drama industry have realized that with the development of technology and the popularization of the Internet, the pattern of TV stations is facing a reshuffle.
And 2011 will inevitably become the first year of a new pattern!
Mango TV, Henan TV and Tianjin TV all took action immediately, and they all adopted the direct and tough approach of TV series.
"Leader, ratings 1.2, share 2.1."
"Leader, ratings 1.5, share 2.7."
Henan TV and Tianjin TV were all irritated when they saw the newly released market share. In the first year of shaping a new pattern, they were eliminated first, and their data was not even comparable to Beijing TV, which had been a salty fish mentality from the beginning.
Mango TV.
“Doudu.”
Zhou Xiuyi picked up the phone: "Hey?"
What came from the microphone was not the sound he expected, but a heavy middle-aged man: "How is it, has it turned out?"
Zhou Xie sat up straight and said, "No leader yet."
"The share of Jingshi's "National Love" and the TV series "War Under the City" are not up to 1, and the shorts that have lost are gone. Zhou impeached me to tell you that I have all the publicity resources on "Snow Leopard". If the share is not up to 3, I will go back to the conference to review it."
"Okay, leader."
Zhou Xie responded weakly, but he called out to the other party's eighteen generations of ancestors. He just yelled a few words and never thought about competing with CCTV. As a result, they all got up and wanted to overtake.
Just a blind command!
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Xie was stunned for a while before gently putting the microphone back into the landline, waiting for the trial of fate.
"Director Zhou, Director Zhou." At some point, a girl pushed open the door.
Zhou Xie seemed to be frightened, suddenly stood up, his mouth trembled a few times, but in the end he failed to make a slight sound.
