Chapter 52: Promotion Song (Yesterday)
Shen Teng and Shen Mengxi have known each other for a long time...
In 04, I met!
Let's start with the Deng Dynasty.
At that time, Deng Chao was in the third grade of Chinese opera. A "Cuihua, Sauerkraut" made him an instant hit in the Beijing drama circle, and the drama was performed for 8 years, becoming the originator of Beijing's commercial comedy.
Therefore, Deng Chao has always felt that he has a talent for comedy - the roles he played in "Breakup Master" and "Villain Angel" are not as large as "Cuihua"!
Director Tian Youliang was the head teacher of the Deng Dynasty at that time.
Two years later, Tian Youliang wanted to change his career to shoot a domineering president TV series, but Sals attacked the city and was forced to interrupt.
The 300,000 invested was nowhere to be used, and Tian Youliang extended "Cuihua, Sauerkraut" to the twist series.
In order to achieve a hilarious effect, Tian Youliang mixed hot spots, jokes, cross talk and even singing and dancing. Unscrupulous traders pour water on dead beef and sell it as canned food, soccer enters the world and loses bribes, and celebrities' home addresses are headlined.
The producer took the script and searched for actors.
Some actors thought the plot was funny, so they showed the script to Xie Na, and Xie Na shouted He Yu again.
After reading the script, He Yu directly pulled Xie Na from Changsha to Beijing to try out the play, and hit it off with the director, and in his drama debut, one person played the hexagon.
There is also Shen Teng in the starring team. That year, he had just graduated from military art, and that's right, he made his debut at the military art school!
This drama is called: "If you want to eat twist flowers, I will screw it for you"!
The success of the performance failed to retain the leading role.
He Yu and Xie Na left, and only Shen Teng was left in the start-up team.
Shen Teng actually wanted to leave, he went to "A Family in the Northeast" to make a cameo, and after the cameo, he expressed the idea of acting in a TV series, but Yingda bluntly refused: "You don't have any development here, we don't plan to want you." ”
Shen Teng, who has rested his thoughts, has been living in Happy Twist since then.
He brought together his classmates who were having a hard time, recruited directors Peng Damo and Yan Fei from his alma mater, pulled Du Xiaoyu, who almost had a kidney change after marriage, from the hospital bed to the stage, and coaxed Chang Baohua's grandson Chang Yuan.
That's right, the twist team is preliminarily formed!
In those years, they took root in the theater, released user questionnaires, calculated the time and duration of laughter, and the excitement of the baggage, and mass-produced comedies on a large scale.
Shen Mengxi watched "I Want to Eat Twist and Twist It for You" in 04...
But there wasn't much intersection at the time, just acquaintance, and later accompanied Ning Hao to watch the drama "Crazy Stone", and slowly got acquainted with Shen Teng...
He has a sense of pride in him that I am fortunate and lose my life!
This kind of person does comedy, very serious, but not flattering - he doesn't care if he is moved by the audience, he is enjoying the new height of self-interpretation brought by another identity, and he plays with himself.
This is a distance from the usual commercial comedy, which amuses the audience and completes the task...
Many late-blooming actors have more or less this taste, and after being abandoned by fame and fortune, they are content with things and pursue ingenuity.
If you have been holding the moon from the beginning and feeling the peak, it is difficult to have this mentality!
He can become the leader of the comedy industry - at least the person who has the best chance of taking over the title of the king of comedy does have his own ability!
Oh, and he's also invited to today's party...
......
"This is Shen Teng..."
Shen Teng hurriedly stretched out his hand: "Teacher Xu!"
Xu Zheng: "... I know him, happy twist pillar!"
Shen Mengxi smiled: "Not only that, in a few years, he will be the pillar of our Chinese film comedy industry!"
Shen Teng laughed out of the folds: "... Mengxi will wear a top hat for me, you can't just praise it just because we are both surnamed Shen!"
"In the first half of next year, "Happy Comedian", the Chinese New Year, "Charlotte's Troubles"..."
"Do you really want to make "Happy Comedian"?"
"Do... We told Shaanxi Satellite TV that "Happy Comedian" will be broadcast simultaneously..."
"What is The Comedian?"
"Comedy competitive variety shows, we sent invitations to Deyun Club, Happy Twist, Benshan Media, Love Laugh Brothers, Hip Hop Baggage Shop, Jia Ling and Bai Mei Studio, competing on the same stage, 12 episodes, each episode of 20 minutes of programs, competing for the title of the king of comedy!"
Speaking of this, Shen Mengxi looked at Lei Jiayin: "If you are interested, you can form a team with Guo Jingfei and perform on stage..."
Lei Jiayin immediately got to the end: "12 issues, each issue has a new one?"
"Yes, and it's weekly!"
Shen Teng: "I'm also worried about this..."
Shen Mengxi waved his hand: "It's okay, the strength is not good, the first phase will be eliminated, and I won't be able to stay in the 12th phase at all!"
“...”
Is this human talk?
"So cruel?"
"Audience voting... And in the first season, there was no financial intervention, it was very free and fair... You can't blame the competition system for your own dishes, by the way, the host I invited Chen Peisi!"
"Teacher Chen?"
Xu Zheng now knows that Shen Mengxi is really playing!
“... Now I don't make much money doing TV series without doing variety shows... And there are too many restrictions on doing TV dramas, and I don't really want to do bad dramas, distressed!"
Shen Mengxi sighed...
Why are some scripts so bad at first glance that they are stupid?
Let me tell you this, some cooks are good at cooking and open restaurants to make money;
Some cooks are not very good at cooking, but they are good at getting kickbacks, and they can get rich by relying on dishes;
Some cooks don't know anything, but their father is the principal, so they can arrange for him to go to the school cafeteria and iron rice bowls.
A lot of the time, kung fu is outside the play.
As for the TV series money laundering...
It's too difficult to operate - no wonder you guys have this idea, a lot of dramas are really bad!
Most of the dramas are made for profit, and there is very little money laundering.
You think this drama is terrible, but if you think so, it means that the drama is broadcast, and if it is broadcast, it is sold, and if it is sold, it is won.
How to sell?
Give a rebate!
Some can even give up to 50%!
For example, Ahri Pictures and Ali Entertainment are following this path!
You don't buy it?
Isn't it okay for me to give more kickbacks?
Then Lao Yang was picked up and imprisoned - Lao Yang is the president of Ahri Entertainment!
In the drama "Long Look", Ahri has participated, it is said that the big pants are bought for 400 million yuan...
This chain is too susceptible to corrosion...
Let's do variety shows, "Happy Comedian", "Let's Cross", it's a bit difficult to make money in the first season, the first season became famous, the second season broke even, and the third season made pure money!
......
"Seaweed Dance?"
"Yes, the promotion song I wrote for "The Big Winner", you, Shen Teng, Lei Jiayin plus Huang Bo, four people sang, let's dance!"
“... Only now?"
"Didn't I just think of it!"
Shen Mengxi was also a little embarrassed...
A few days ago, he was fishing, and he inadvertently hummed a sentence: 'The sea of people, the vastness, the ups and downs of the tide... Life, like a dream, where are you, dear...'
Then on a whim, I decided to add "Seaweed Dance" to the promotion unit of "Big Winner" - the darkness and loneliness I have walked through, the betrayal and helplessness I have suffered, but I still can't understand this inner demon, and I have only learned to live spontaneously...
"Live Spontaneously" is the Korean version of "The Big Winner"...
That's it!
"You can do it!"
“... cough cough" coughed dryly, Shen Mengxi changed the topic: "... I feel like my peers look down on me!"
