An excerpt from a book review of a certain god: "Marrying a wife, good-looking is not important, gentleness is not important, virtuousness is actually not very important, you must be smart!"

He Xin felt that his girlfriend was very smart, and he was very pleased.

It's just that the author is not so smart, he forgot the plot of "Qiao's Courtyard" before, and almost forgot "Latent" at this time. Looks like it deserves to hit the streets!

"Latent" was broadcast, and it happened to take over "The Guns of the Secret Bureau", which was the first to rise and fall in the ratings on Beijing TV.

"The Gunshots of the Secret Bureau" should be said to be a big IP, this black and white film produced by Changchun Film Studio in 1979 is definitely a peak of domestic suspense films in that era, and it is the memory of a generation.

One more thing, the famous performing artist Xiang Mei in the movie version of "The Gunshots of the Secret Bureau" is really beautiful, she is responsible for her appearance in "Red Detachment of Women", she was in her forties when she filmed "The Gunshots of the Secret Bureau", but she still can't see what traces the years have left on her face, and there is a mature and intellectual beauty. Then came to "Black Ice" starring Wang Zhiwen and Jiang Wenli, the mother she played Wang Zhiwen was still an elegant and noble old lady.

However, such a TV series with great enthusiasm from the audience was filmed alive by Lao Gao, and not long after it was broadcast, the ratings still declined from 6% at the beginning, and even dropped to less than 1% in the end.

To be honest, if there were no regulations, Beijing TV would want to cut this bad drama in half.

Everyone is a spy war theme, the former hit the street, and the latter despite the blessing of He Xin, Cheng Hao and Song Jia, who has been rising very sharply recently, the ratings in the first two days after the broadcast were tepid, maintained at about 4%, which is not as good as the ratings of "The Guns of the Secret Bureau".

Then all sorts of comments began to appear on the Internet:

"Damn, Brother Qiang actually became a spy......"

"Compared with "The Guns of the Secret Bureau", one day and one place, I have watched the best spy war drama so far, everyone has a golden sentence, Stationmaster Wu: Time is like a wild donkey......

"Hey, I suddenly found that "Latent" is not a spy war drama, but a rare workplace tutorial! Yu Zecheng's experience has absolute practical significance, he uses his personal experience to teach us how to survive in the sinister workplace. And today's workplace is even worse than the environment Yu Zecheng is facing, we are all small people lurking in the stormy waves......"

"If it weren't for a very cute little girl who asked me to write, I wouldn't have watched a domestic drama like "Latent". She scolded me in Brother Zeng's sheepish voice: You just write it, criticize it, this drama is very popular.

I said, isn't that the main theme?

She said, this is different from the main theme, the main theme is about being bright and fair, and you have to stand and hold your head high when you die.

I don't trust her judgment, but I can't help it, I can't stand it, so I can only give in with tears. But after watching the first few episodes, I realized that I was right, and this is the main theme......"

"Latent" is not very popular on the Internet. Uh, it's not like the previous "Gunshots of the Secret Bureau", there are too few slots, and I can't find a point to complain about!

The ratings are slowly climbing, and on the third day of broadcasting, they climbed to 6%, then 7%, 8%, until the finale, the ratings directly broke ten!

"Latent" is on fire!

In the first half of 2007, a total of three good dramas were released: "Ming Dynasty 1566", "Golden Wedding" and "I Am the Rich Second Generation". The two became popular, and Uncle Li's "Ming Dynasty" lost the ratings and won the word-of-mouth.

But "Latent" shows a momentum that is more explosive than these three dramas.

The most important thing is that the official media of the party newspaper took the lead in publishing the evaluation of "Latent": a spy war drama of the same level!

The official media ended, not to mention other media, which followed up and sang praises.

From top to bottom, in just a few days, "Latent" and Yu Zecheng have become hot social topics. For example, it's a bit like the later "In the Name of the People".

For a while, the Internet was also full of essays similar to "Looking at Office Politics from Latent", "In the Name of "Faith" - On the Latent of TV Dramas", "People Must Finally Believe, Not Finally Organize", "Li Ya is not as good as Yu Zecheng, because the latter has faith" and other small essays.

Of course, it is inevitable that the foil of peers is indispensable. There is no way, "The Gunshots of the Secret Bureau" is so bad that if you are not careful, it will become a stepping stone to "Latent". From time to time, various comments on the Internet will take out "The Gunshots of the Secret Bureau" and whip the corpse.

Lao Gao was very depressed, and even when he discussed the script of "The Wind" with He Xin, he couldn't help but complain.

Speaking of which, he is quite wronged, he originally wanted to make a quick buck when he directed this drama, but in the final analysis, "Tokyo Trial" was too pitiful, and he put all his savings in the past few years into it. No way, it always has to be just right.

The script of this drama has already been done from the beginning, although he felt that the script was unreliable at the time, but there was no time to revise it, so he had to finish filming this drama head-on.

The two dramas are one after the other, the former is about to be scolded by the audience, but the latter is on fire.

On the premise that there is no major problem with the actor's performance, for TV series, to put it bluntly, the most important thing is the script.

The reason why "Latent" can succeed is not that the theme of this drama is novel, but in general terms, it is still the traditional routine of underground party and catching spies, which is the same way as "The Guns of the Secret Bureau". Secret agents, informants, conspiracies, violent torture, and of course, complex characters and the power of spiritual belief displayed by positive characters when they are in trouble, make up all the elements!

But compared with the procrastination and retardation of the storyline of "The Guns of the Secret Bureau", "Latent" has taken every detail of this old routine to the extreme.

The rhythm of the script of "Latent" is very well controlled, and the first 10 minutes of each episode generally have a small suspense, which is solved near the middle, and then a big suspense, which is solved at the end of the story, and another hook is left at the end. A grenade was used as a foreshadowing, planted from the second episode, and used again in the last few episodes, and the design is very exquisite!

The protagonist Yu Zecheng is first and foremost a military commander agent. Born in the Qingpu training class of the Secret Service, he is bent on resisting Japan and defending the country, not anti-communism, he is different from Li Ya, Li Ya's belief is the interests of the party and the state!

Therefore, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was victorious, the Kuomintang was rapidly corrupted, and Yu Zecheng's ideals and goals disappeared. He needs a faith to support him through the second half of his life, he originally thought that his love with Zuo Lan could hold it, but Zuo Lan disappeared!

At this time, he only had two choices, either to follow Boss Dai to oppose communism and save the country, or to love Wu and Wu to choose the career and doctrine chosen by the person he loved.

However, because he saw through the corruption at the top, making the former meaningless, he could only choose the latter!

The rhythm of "Latent" is very fast, in the first episode, Lu Zongfang's death made him feel the power of this initial cry of faith, and after that, a series of plots were arranged to consolidate it: for example, Kegong asked him to "put safety first, if you encounter a major crisis, you can stop working, enter a dormant period, and refuse the call of the liaison officer", which made him feel a different care from the military commander.

In the plot after that, Comrade Qiu bit his tongue and committed suicide in order to protect him, Zuo Lan reappeared and then sacrificed, Cui Ping gave emotional support and so on.

At the end, Liao Sanmin's sacrifice to protect him was arranged, as well as the affectionate call from the radio station, which made him unshakable in his faith

In the end, Yu Zecheng built his own complete belief and will fight for it for life!

The logic is complete!

At the same time, the explosion of "Latent" made He Xin, Song Jia, Cheng Hao, and even Tong Yali, who played the late autumn, skyrocket in popularity for a while. Especially Song Jia, although she had a strong momentum of rising before, but at this time, she is like cooking oil on fire, and she is prosperous. There are many film appointments, and there are even a lot of movie scripts that she has dreamed of for a long time.

Song Jia herself, including her agent Wang Jinghua, also made a special call to He Xin to express her gratitude.

As for Cheng Hao, she is as Buddhist as ever, in fact, before "Latent" was broadcast, she packed her luggage and went to Wuhan, even turned off her mobile phone, and devoted herself to the final preparations for "Ten Thousand Arrows Through the Heart".

As she said, she joined the group half a month in advance, and according to her plan, this time she really went to experience life as a flat shoulder. He Xin was very uneasy, but he lacked skills, this time not only did he still let Xiao Mo follow, but also deliberately took care of Lu Xiao to find a professional security company in Wuhan to protect him secretly, and he was absolutely not allowed to make any mistakes.

In fact, among the three actresses, the most harvested is Tong Yali, a rookie, she played in "Latent", the late autumn that is cherished, pitiful, and at the same time a little joyful, has also gained a large number of fans. In one fell swoop, from a small transparent to a rising star.

And the happiest is Bona's propaganda department, taking advantage of this wave of craze, hurriedly launched the publicity plan of "The Story of Two Donkeys" in advance, what "Yu Zecheng and Late Autumn joined forces again to perform an absurd romantic comedy", ""The Story of Two Donkeys" was shortlisted for the Venice International Film Festival, Yu Zecheng and Late Autumn competed for the emperor", "The first magical realism film in China, Yu Zecheng and Late Autumn performed with love" and so on.

It's crazy to rub the heat.

Of course, He Xin, who really benefited the most, was not only the benefits of economic benefits, but also the audience's awareness of him, the broadening of the drama and so on. Because of this, the image of Liu Huaqiang in the audience's minds instantly transformed into a righteous Yu Zecheng.

And he himself has been even busier during this time, and the whole person is like a spinning top, dripping and spinning. He had to constantly attend press conferences, be interviewed by the media, stand on the platform, and publicize.

While the iron is hot, the income from the second and third rounds of broadcast copyright is no less than that of the first round, and Xinhao Media still continues their hot rhythm in the field of TV dramas, and once again makes a lot of money.

It wasn't until late August that He Xin's work rhythm slowed down.

Because at this time, it is the biennial award season of the Chinese TV Drama Feitian Award and the Chinese Film Huabiao Awards.

On August 25, the 26th TV Drama Feitian Award Ceremony with the theme of "Harmonious Starry Sky" will be held at the Chinese Theater.

He and Jiang Qinqin starred in "Qiao's Courtyard", which was shortlisted for the Outstanding Actor and Actress Award and the Outstanding Director Award. At the same time, "Wulin Gaiden", jointly produced by Xinhao Company and Shandong Film and Television Center, was also shortlisted for the list of excellent series of TV series.

On August 26, the 12th China Film Huabiao Awards Ceremony will be held at the Beijing Exhibition Center.

"The Ballad of Yunshui" won a total of six nominations for the Outstanding Feature Film Award, Outstanding Director, Outstanding Screenwriter, Outstanding Actor and Actress, and Outstanding Film Technology.

Last year's box office dark horse "Crazy Stone" also won two nominations for outstanding new director and excellent film technology.

Both of these awards are sponsored by the General Administration and belong to the government awards, and the weight is self-evident!

Even if He Xin dared to be absent from the Golden Eagle, refuse the Golden Horse, and not participate in the Golden Statue, he would not dare not participate in the award ceremony of these two awards. What's more, due to the explosion of "Latent", "The Story of Two Donkeys" was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Venice International Film Festival, and he is about to be portrayed as a good comrade and actor in the style of "Yu Zecheng".
