Chapter 259: The Favor of the Press
The accommodation conditions for undergraduates in Jingdian are different, and the No. 2 apartment that Li Li and his party came to is very good, with beds and tables, TVs, air conditioners, etc.
Dean Wang said, "Tomorrow we will arrange a few bedrooms. β
Li Li shook his head: "I think it's better to maintain the status quo, originally we brought amateurs into the school to record the show, just to let them feel the atmosphere of the film school." If you set it up too well, they'll be even more out of place. β
Hong Tao also said: "I think so too. β
Dean Wang: "The school's all-in-one card ......"
Hong Tao said: "No, let the students spend their own cash, they are not here to enjoy the blessings." β
Li Li proposed: "However, in the library self-study room and other places that need to be entered by swiping cards, I hope that the children can be unimpeded, and we can make a temporary card." β
"That's fine. β
The group walked around Jingdian casually, exchanged details of the recording in the future from time to time, and went to the cafeteria to temporarily experience the school's meals.
The freshman season is too lively, and when Li Li was eating in the cafeteria, he recalled his state when he entered the freshman year, and he was really Top Gun back then.
Li Li is an unsociable person, people play games in the dormitory, he is in the library, people pick up girls, he is in the library, people are sleeping lazy, he is still in the library.
When he wasn't in the library, he went to various places to exercise himself, and he was a person who was out of the group.
After graduating from college, he mixed up very well, and the same was true in his previous life, but the biggest regret in his life fell - no girlfriend.
On the topic of girlfriends, Li Li has always felt that although he can't play things when he was a student, he can't mourn ...... Bah, bah, although you can't play greedy days, but if you don't meet a cute girl in such an innocent era, you can meet it in your life.
Li Li remembered that a female colleague in the stage said one thing, when she was in college, a local tyrant wanted to give her 300,000 yuan to compensate him for a day, but she didn't do it. It's been a few years since I graduated, well, 100,000 yuan can also be considered...... Of course, it's a joke, but as the years go by, a lot of things don't matter.
Although the chaos of college is reborn, there are also many good girls.
Li Li looked at the girls laughing in the cafeteria with a sloppy look, reminiscing about the nostalgic college days.
"Xiaoli, what are you thinking, do you like any girl in there?" Dean Wang asked with a smile.
Li Li retracted his gaze: "People like me who have just walked out of the campus are at the stage where they are not interested in the schoolgirls, and they are too naΓ―ve. β
Hong Tao nodded: "Eh, don't say it, after I graduated from college, I also liked mature women at the beginning." β
As the dignified vice president of the university, Wang Jingqi decided to end this topic of loss of identity, "That, tonight's award ceremony of the "Golden Lion Award", I think you are basically out of the New Drama Award, and the Best Newcomer Award is also very likely, but now I don't know who in your drama club can win it."
In fact, your performance level is undoubtedly the most outstanding, but the Best Newcomer Award has always been awarded only to one man and one woman.
I feel like your drama club is going to shine right now, but it seems that the probability of you winning the award directly is extremely low. β
Li Li is also very clear about this, when he decided to let Xue Jian play the male lead, he was already very clear, but in order to promote the integration and development of the team as soon as possible, he gave up his original plan to compete for the first prize.
Life is a process of constant trade-offs, how can everything go well?
Hong Tao said: "But it doesn't matter if Mr. Li wins the award or not, anyone in the drama club wins the award, and it is all supported by Mr. Li." Oh yes, can you compete for the Best Drama of the Year award?"
Dean Wang sighed: "This is also difficult, because this award has been awarded to the drama of 'ideological progress' over the years, after all, the Golden Lion Award is the first national award." β
Li Li said with a smile: "Our drama has only been performed for a month, and we are very fortunate to be qualified to be shortlisted, it is normal not to get an award, and it is worth our cheers if we can get 1 award."
Actually, I feel that the Best Newcomer Award Cai Jiayan and Xue Jian are very competitive. β
Everyone nodded, seventy or eighty percent of this award belongs to Senyi, which is recognized.
β¦β¦
At around 19 o'clock, the lights were already bright in front of Beijing Satellite TV.
The nanny cars stopped at the door from time to time, and the solemnly dressed stars walked down indifferently with a smile.
Almost half of the stars in China are here, this is a very important but very small public recognition of the award, these well-known stars are not here to compete for awards, many people are vassals and elegant.
Li Li sat in the rice noodle shop across the street and ate rice noodles, and he saw a lot of small fresh meat with disastrous acting skills also coming to join in the fun, as if participating in the award ceremony of national awards could have a gilded function.
For some celebrities, participating in the drama awards ceremony is like drinking wine if they don't know it, because it is called elegance.
Li Li suddenly had a vulgar idea, could there be some people among them who wanted to confuse the public? After all, if the news introduced XXX to attend the Golden Lion Award ceremony, would some netizens who didn't know the truth mistakenly think that XXX also had drama works to run?
Besides, the drama is too niche, and the news is extremely closed, many celebrities have performed dramas, and even their fans don't know.
Li Li shook his head, if there is no conclusive evidence, don't give people a hat, you can't speculate on others with the greatest malice, your mind must be positive and healthy, Li Li hurriedly corrected his wrong attitude: These little fresh meat must not be here to confuse the public, they are purely here to be vassal, well!
After eating rice noodles, Li Li and the others sniffed each other's clothes very embarrassed, chewed gum, and walked out of the shop and went straight to Beijing Satellite TV.
The owner of the rice noodle shop was also drunk, and it was the first time he had seen such a down-to-earth star. It's understandable that you usually eat a bowl of rice noodles, after all, celebrities are also people. But before the award ceremony, I specially ate a bowl of rice noodles...... Your heart is so big!
Beijing Satellite TV arranged a long red carpet, this is the first time Cai Jiayan and Xue Jian have walked the red carpet, and the excitement is already beyond words.
Cai Jiayan dragged the floor-length low-cut dress and whispered happily: "This feels so cool, I never dreamed that this day would come so quickly." β
Xue Jian's shiny leather shoes secretly rubbed a little on the red carpet, "The dream has come true, buddy is also the one who walked the red carpet." β
Cao Jun rolled his eyes on the side, as for being so excited? I was going to step on this thing when I was a child, okay?
The character who debuted as a child star, Cao Jun does have this confidence.
Li Li, Cao Jun, Cai Jiayan and Xue Jian, a group of four people stood on the red carpet for a group photo, and reporters on both sides took pictures in the middle of the road.
The location host of Beijing Satellite TV held the microphone to interview: "Hello Mr. Li. β
"Hello. β
"First of all, I would like to congratulate you on the unprecedented success of your play on tour, and then I wish you all the best tonight. β
Li Li smiled: "Thank you." β
"Mr. Li, can I ask you a question on behalf of the audience across the country?"
"Okay!"
"When will your next drama be released to the public?"
"There's no rush for this, at least we have to wait for the drama "X" to do the whole big tour, and when the audience has seen enough of the drama "X", our next drama will meet the public on time. β
"Then when do we have to wait," the host said with a sad face, "can't I buy tickets at all, okay?" Since the premiere of Chuncheng Station, I have been grabbing tickets, and I have not grabbed a single ...... until I have reached Shanghai Station."
"Ahem, cough, cough!" The director coughed a few times on the side, why are you still complaining on this occasion, sister?
The host smiled embarrassedly and changed the subject, "Mr. Liβ"
Li Li raised his hand and gestured to the few people around him, after all, Cai Jiayan was a big focus tonight, and Li Li didn't want them to be left out in the cold.
The host willing, although reluctant, but still started the interview with the other three with a professional smile.
Cai Jiayan and Cao Jun are okay, after all, they have both seen the world, but Xue Jian's hand holding the microphone trembled violently.
People asked him what he was feeling at this moment, and he said thank you to Beijing TV...... When did Beijing Satellite TV become Beijing TV? The host was speechless, did you associate this place with CCTV?
When Li Li walked into the studio, he found that the entire hall was basically full.
The national awards are indeed different, the scene is starry, and there are some leaders in the front row, and the level is not low.
The staff led Li Li and his party into the hall, and those who were familiar with him or not got up to greet him.
A director took the lead in getting up and shaking hands: "Mr. Li is late, I am determined, this is my business card, I hope to have the opportunity to work with Mr. Li in the future." β
Huang Xiaomin also handed a business card to the director.
Although the times are progressing rapidly, business cards have not been eliminated, and they cannot be eliminated for the time being, and they often appear in cars, in the pockets of takeaways, and under the doors of hotels...... As well as some occasions where adding WeChat may be rejected.
Chen Kaige also attended tonight, and when he saw Li Li coming, he waved him over, "Xiaoli, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Cui Mingyuan, the president of the Huaguo People's Literature Publishing House." β
Cui Mingyuan is in his 60s, with white hair but strong spirits.
Li Li hurriedly bowed: "Hello President Cui!"
"Hello, hello. Cui Mingyuan looked at him very kindly.
Chen Kaige said: "President Cui has something to talk to you about, and it is just this opportunity for you to get acquainted with each other." β
Is there something to talk about? And the president of the Humanities Society?
Li Li immediately thought of the problem of the script, maybe the Humanities Society was interested in his script?
Sure enough, President Cui said: "We have seen your drama, the script is very exciting, and we have the idea of publishing a book for you." β
Li Li said suspiciously: "But our script is not serious literature, it is completely comedy market literature, which does not match the solemn tone of the Humanities Society." β
"Yes, but as the most explosive work in the market in China in the past 20 years, and it is likely to be a milestone work in the Chinese drama market, the drama "X" is too important. β
President Cui's remarks are not exaggerated, but what is a "milestone"? The so-called milestone is mostly a metaphor for a major event that can be used as a symbol in the course of historical development.
After entering 2000, the Chinese drama market was in a depression, and there had never been a work that sold so well to the drama "X" and had such a sensational public opinion effect.
Works like "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring" are little known to the general public, which shows how niche the drama market is.
As the first work that can attract the attention of the whole network, the drama "X" is indeed a precedent in the history of Chinese drama, which is also due to this new era of highly developed networks.
Li Li said modestly: "President Cui, you are joking with me, how can this immature work be worthy of such praise?"
President Cui glanced around and whispered to Li Li: "Anyway, in the entire studio, all the drama teams can't sell you, none of you are popular, and you don't have the need to be modest."
On the issue of publishing a book, let's talk about it later. β
After all, this is not the place to talk about cooperation, but it is appropriate to communicate briefly.
Li Li said: ""X" can't be published too early, after all, we have to keep the audience fresh when they enter the theater, and publishing a book is equivalent to spoilers, and I have to take care of the theater performance." β
President Cui nodded, "I understand, this is not in a hurry, we can settle it first, as for when the book will be published, then wait for the right time in the future." For example, once you adapt the drama "X" and put it on the big screen, you can publish the book directly at that time.
The drama "X" is so popular, I don't think there's any reason why you would refuse to adapt it into a movie, right?"
Li Li smiled, President Cui was right, the movie adaptation will definitely be done, it's just a matter of timing. At present, everything must be considered first in the theater performance, even if the box office of the movie is dozens of times more than the annual income of the drama performance.
Li Li believes that drama should first return to the attributes of drama, and then consider the periphery of drama.
Money is to be earned, but don't rush it for a while, take your time.
As for the question of adapting the drama into a movie, it will take at least a year or two before I can make a plan.
This is the calmness of the real powerful faction, Li Li has too clear a clear understanding of himself, as long as he doesn't die, then the peak of his career for decades is not a big problem.
After a brief chat with President Cui, Li Li walked to his seat not far away.
After the group sat down, Cai Jiayan finally couldn't hold back and said: "Xiaoli, you are too powerful, Humanities Society, the largest publishing house in China, I didn't expect them to want to publish your work." β
Cao Junxi said: "Boss, please take my knee." β
Xue Jian was thinking about a question, if it was adapted into a movie, would he still be the male lead?
He thought too much about this, it is impossible for the investor to allow an unknown character to play such an important position as the male number one, and the movie is not a drama after all.
"Hello, Mr. Li!"
Li Li turned around and saw a man in a suit looking at him with a smile on his face.
"Oh, hello. β
"I'm the editor-in-chief of Chang Reading Publishing House, and I just happened to hear that you have plans to publish a book, so can our publishing house make an appointment with you?"
Li Li was stunned: "What kind of book?"
"Autobiography, essays, photo albums, it's all right!"
Li Li almost didn't cry, what kind of autobiography did he have at such a tender age? As for the photo album...... Let's eat by talent, okay?
Li Li directly refused and said: "I'm sorry, I don't have much time to write a book for the time being, and I'm not interested in a photo album." β
The editor-in-chief then said: "It doesn't matter if you don't have time, you can enlarge the characters of your work, increase the line spacing, use the bright and thick paper of magazines, and then take a page of text and a page of photos, the photos are your selfies or your landscape photos, even if we take you life and work photos."
With such a program, you won't need to write a few words in a book!"
Li Li was looking at the editor-in-chief, Cai Jiayan was looking at him, and the people around him were looking at him dumbfounded.
Everyone suddenly realized, no wonder many celebrities' books have no nutritional value at all, and the co-authors are all deceitful by you?
The editor-in-chief said: "Because this kind of book uses special paper for magazines, a book is only 200 pages at the top, and the normal market price is very high, and the basic price is more than 90 yuan. β
"No, thank you!" Li Li flatly refused!
The onlookers secretly said "yes", which is the attitude that a young man with good roots should have.
This attitude is, don't fool fans as stupid forks!
According to the description of the editor-in-chief, this kind of book is only regarded as a treasure by fans, and the rest of the public scoffs at it!
