Chapter 13: The Drama of the Year (3/5)
(I ate melons for a day, and then I remembered, I want to code words... I'm not a qualified coder... )
Zhong Lifang arrived in Hong Kong and was picked up by Chen Zhixi.
"Sister Zhong, why are you here? Don't say anything in advance!"
“... Upset, come and talk to you!"
Chen Zhixi pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Is it because of the matter of "Master of Memory"?"
"Not only that, but we had a meeting and studied for a day, and found that it was difficult to control the market..."
"I also read the report, and many people questioned Boge's box office appeal. ”
Zhong Lifang smiled bitterly, and then asked, "What is Xiaoran's reaction?"
"He didn't react, I asked him, he asked me back, 'have you returned to your roots', I said, 'It's back', he said, 'Just return to your roots, don't think so much, this year's market is very weird!'..."
"Weird?"
Chen Zhixi nodded: "That's what he said." ”
"Okay, I'll ask him in person later," Zhong Lifang suddenly laughed: "I heard that Mr. Wu Gang has been secretly photographed by the media 24 hours a day recently?"
Chen Zhixi: "Even you know?"
"It's news on the Internet!"
......
Wu Gang and Lu Xiaoran have known each other for a long time, and when they collaborated on "The Wind", they often got together to eat melons...
"The Wind" is a double heroine, generally speaking, the crew of the two heroines, there will definitely be a bunch of dirty things in the open.
The gossip thing between the two of them is who Sister Hua Yi is, and they have formed a good gossip friendship anyway.
Later, Wu Gang signed Tang Xiao Culture, and Tangtang helped him take care of the script - he basically had no commercial activities at that time.
His acting skills are very good, but his fame is not obvious.
But in the crew of "New World", whether it is Lu Xiaoran or Huang Bodu, they respect him...
Bo Ge has collaborated with him in "Iron Man" and knows his strength - the existence of the male protagonist.
Absolutely awesome drama bone level!
"New World" also found him, he played Lao Gao, that is, the 'New World' plan he implemented with Leung Jiahui, which can be regarded as a big supporting role.
Liang Jiahui has been in the mainland for a longer time than in Hong Kong, and has heard of the 'Four Heavenly Kings of Human Art' and Wu Gang's name, so he also respects Wu Gang very much.
The problem is the attitude of the other staff towards Lao Wu...
It's not that friendly.
They think this guy is just like that, and his acting skills look mediocre...
It is estimated that it is a related household!
Then, "In the Name of the People" was launched, and it was broadcast for two days, sweeping all the TV series on the air, with a Douban score of 9.1 points, and the ratings climbed directly to 4%...
A week later, "In the Name of the People" became a social topic, and the ratings climbed to 6% - refreshing all ratings records in the history of provincial satellite TV, as well as the total ratings of TV dramas in the past six years!
The media praised it: a visual feast, a trick that only lasts a few minutes in total, and the acting skills and qualifications are all scary.
Really, you pick it yourself, it's easy to be a first-class actor, a second-class actor...
Half a month later, the whole people chased the drama, and "In the Name of the People" became a phenomenon!
Whether it is the ratings, click-through rate, or WeChat, Weibo popularity continues to rise, from the director, screenwriter, cameraman, to the actors, the exquisite production, the attention to detail, especially the acting skills of all the old actors, have made this drama a big hit and become the focus of national attention.
The hottest is Wu Gang, secretary of Dakang...
Many people are curious, there are so many old drama bones in "In the Name of the People", why is the most popular Secretary Dakang?
First, the person is set up, he is the most "human" positive character in this drama: he doesn't listen to things outside the window, and he only thinks about GDP;
Second, the acting skills are really amazing, 360 degrees without dead ends, 360 degrees are all emojis!
Thirdly, of course, looks...
European-style double eyelids, similar to the appearance of Shen Teng's second uncle...
The whole people are concerned about Secretary Dakang!
Then, Hong Kong media began to report on "In the Name of the People" - with the headline "The Largest Anti-Corruption Drama in History!"
I don't know which media broke the news that 'Secretary Dakang' was filming "New World" in Hong Kong, and then, a bunch of media came to visit the class...
At the beginning, Lu Xiaoran still felt novel, and deliberately released the 'ban on media' and let Wu Gang be interviewed, but there were people every day, which made it so annoying, and three days later, it was announced that 'the media is prohibited from visiting classes'.
But they can't stand the paparazzi's candid photography, they are too curious about Secretary Dakang...
......
"Secretary Dakang, your water glass..."
"Thank you..."
Wu Gang was a little helpless to take the water cup handed by the field staff...
After the broadcast of "In the Name of the People", he obviously felt that all the staff of the crew had a different attitude towards him...
In the past, although it was not ignored, at most it was just a polite and greeting.
Now, far away, there are staff members running to help him get things.
Moreover, they all call him Secretary Dakang!
He has a name, his name is Wu Gang!
"Secretary Dakang!"
“... Director. ”
Lu Xiaoran sat down next to him, and then asked, "How do you feel?"
"What does it feel?"
"It's a sensation to be popular!"
“... Don't make fun of me, I'm an actor, not a star!"
"There's no need to be so clear, a good actor shouldn't be unknown. ”
I'm afraid it's not up to you to have the final say, after the launch of "In the Name of the People", a bunch of brands found Tang Xiao Culture and invited Wu Gang to endorse at a high price...
And a bunch of magazines found him.
It may not be good to make top traffic, but it is still no problem to choose carefully and take a few ads!
"By the way, you're done tomorrow, right?"
"Well, what's wrong?"
"Gu Tianluo told me that he wanted to add you to "Anti-Corruption Storm 3", and the scale should be a little bigger..."
“... Why didn't he tell me?"
"He told you, you understand Cantonese?"
Secretary Dakang thought for a while, and then asked, "Is the script written?"
“... I don't know, but I've heard that the concept and story synopsis of the "Anti-Corruption Storm" series have taken shape, and now that you are in the role, I guess it will be a trick..."
Screenplay?
There is a script of wool - the "Anti-Corruption Storm" series, which is pushed one a year, and all hot spots are loaded into it.
When the mainland is engaged in anti-corruption dramas, they thought of inviting a few actors from "In the Name of the People" to brush their faces, and make it a 'cross-strait and three places working together to fight corruption' when publicizing...
"That's... I miscalculated. ”
Wu Gang shook his head, he was not interested in playing soy sauce, so he wanted to act in a few good quality plays.
Lu Xiaoran got up: "I went to the scene... By the way, don't forget, Lao Yang made an appointment for us to have dinner tonight!"
Wu Gang frowned: "I won't go." ”
"If you don't go, I'm going to invite you!"
Lao Yang, Yang Shoucheng is really good at being a man - when the filming of "New World" started, Wu Gang was a nobody, Yang Shoucheng didn't know him well, and naturally he didn't respect him too much.
Lao Yang wanted to get acquainted...
There may be opportunities for cooperation in the future...
