Chapter 224: Robbing

When Lu Qi received the news, it was half past seven in the morning. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At that time, I had just gotten up, washed up, and was ready to go for a casual breakfast and was about to catch a flight.

Then, Xu Guan knocked on the door with a bang, and as soon as the door opened, the first thing he said was, "Lu Tai, the ratings of "The Legend of the New White Lady" have risen again!"

Lu Qi was very calm, turned his head and saw Xu Guanyi with a pair of dark circles under his eyes, and was a little surprised, and asked, "How much? eighteen or twenty?"

Xu Guanyi said: "I received a call from the station at 11 o'clock last night, and it was 35:4. ”

Lu Qi nodded and continued to button the buttons, but before he finished buttoning a button, he was stunned, slowly turned his head, frowned, and his face was full of surprise, "How much?"

"Last night's tenth episode, the highest thirty-five four cleaning points. Xu Guanyi replied seriously.

He can deeply understand Deputy Director Lu's feeling at the moment, because after answering the phone last night, he fell into this feeling for more than half an hour.

Lu Qi froze in place, motionless.

After a while, he subconsciously swallowed his saliva, but his voice still sounded a little dry, "Thirty-five four?"

Xu Guan nodded, "Thirty-five four." ”

"That's right, right? This data ......."

"Absolutely yes!" Xu Guanyi replied: "I didn't believe it last night, so I asked the people in the station to help me go back and check, and I checked it again this morning, absolutely yes!"

Lu Qi swallowed again.

The buttons were not buttoned, grinning the cuffs, walking in place for a few steps, then walked to the sofa and sat down.

"Thirty-five-four! Thirty-five-four?"

He frowned, muttering to himself, and his voice was subdued, and every time he read the number, he was full of mixed emotions.

Xu Guanyi didn't dare to speak, so he stood in place in a daze, waiting for Deputy Director Lu's decision.

There is no doubt that 16.8 ratings is one concept, and 35.4 ratings is already another concept.

The former is a popular drama that is worth scrambling for by all TV stations, while the latter has already stepped into the threshold of the classics with one foot - if it is not surprising, even if it is not surprising, even if many years have passed, as long as people mention 1999, the launch of "The Legend of the New White Lady" will surely become a node that is difficult to forget in people's memory.

After two or three minutes, Lu Qi swallowed his saliva again, and spoke with difficulty, his voice was slightly strange, like two rusty knives rubbing against each other, and the rust fell down, "This ratings data ...... It should surpass "Kaiyuan Shengshi"?"

Xu Guan was stunned for a moment, and quickly shook his head, "No! I couldn't sleep last night, and I specially checked the information, and the highest rating of "Kaiyuan Shengshi" is 36.5. ”

Lu Qi breathed a sigh of relief, as if the ratings of "The Legend of the New White Lady" did not exceed that of "The Prosperous Age of the New White Lady", as if it was of great significance to him.

But at this time, Xu Guanyi hesitated for a moment, and added, "But looking at its posture, tonight's eleventh and twelfth episodes, even if they rise a little bit, there will be no problem to surpass "Kaiyuan Shengshi". ”

Lu Qi silently raised his head and glanced at him, and nodded slowly.

Xu Guanyi continued: "Once it surpasses "The Prosperous Age of the New Yuan", the drama "The Legend of the New White Lady" will become the third in the ratings of all domestic TV dramas in the past ten years! Considering the special situation of "Journey to the West" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it is not much of a problem to say that it is the first place. Moreover, it is still rising, I received the news last night, I couldn't sleep, and I have been thinking, this TV series is almost a leap every day, how much will its ratings rise before it stops, I don't have any number in my heart. ”

Lu Qi nodded with difficulty again.

At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door, and then a voice said outside the door: "Director, we should go to breakfast, we will go out to catch the plane at nine o'clock." ”

Lu Qi was silent.

So Xu Guanyi took the initiative to walk over and open the door.

Lu Qi's secretary came in, and when he saw Xu Guanyi there, he was stunned for a moment, then said hello, and then looked at Lu Qi on the sofa.

Lu Qi reached out and pinched his forehead with some confusion, but after a while, he let go of his hand, Huo Ran stood up, walked around the room for two steps, and ordered: "Cancel the ticket!" and then said to Xu Guan: "Old Xu, you help me check to see which day Liao Liao will return to China!

When Xu Guan heard this, he first agreed, and then said, "Now, she must be abroad now!"

Lu Qi looked up at him and said slowly: "Don't say that in foreign countries, even on the moon, as long as it is necessary, we must fly over immediately!" After a pause, he said, "She is our greatest hope!"

Xu Guanyi thought about it when he heard this, and nodded solemnly with a serious face, "Director Lu, I understand what you mean, I'll check it out immediately!" After speaking, he pushed the door and left in a hurry, looking full of energy.

Lu Qi's secretary was still stunned, and when Xu Guan left, he asked, "Director, then ...... Not going back?"

"Go back?" Lu Qi smiled, "If we can't get the second round of this drama, we will never go back!"

His secretary was stunned when he heard this, "You still want to fight?" didn't you mean...... Besides, you...... Don't you get angry with Minghu culture?"

Lu Qi turned his head to look at him and smiled, "Angry?"

He thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Yes, of course I'm angry! But as long as the TV series in their hands can bring me a surge in ratings, what's the point of being angry? As long as they nod now and give us the second round and let me serve Li Qian tea and pour water, I'm willing!"

…………

When they got up in the morning, Li Qian and Zhou Yan finished washing up and went out for a jog together.

In the beginning of autumn in the first month, it was still relatively hot at noon, but in the morning and evening, there was already a little coolness on the side of Shuntianfu. Running over all the way, people kept greeting Li Qian, and Li Qian also responded with a smile, and sometimes chatted with people.

To tell the truth, he is more like a person who lives here all year round than Zhou Yan.

In recent years, the residents in this alley have not only grown accustomed to the feeling of being neighbors with a big star like Zhou Yan, but also have long been accustomed to seeing the celebrity couple running together and spreading hand in hand from time to time.

The breakfast stall at the mouth of the alley was steaming, the two of them ran over, took a few breaths, Li Qian took out the change, the two of them bought breakfast familiarly, and were about to carry it back, when suddenly a girl rushed to the front, and the recording brush came to the front with a pestle.

Then I heard the girl say very quickly: "The ratings of "The Legend of the New White Lady" have reached an astonishing 35.4%, what do you think about this, can you tell me?"

Out of the corner of Li Qian's eye, he also caught the camera not far away clicking to take pictures.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, smiling, "Hey, just buy an early meal, don't shoot it, right?"

Many neighbors who eat here have experienced similar situations more than once, and they all regard it as a little pleasure in life, and while looking at it with a smile, they also interjected, "They interviewed us just now, and we all said that the TV series you made is good!"

"Yes, it's beautiful!"

"Beautiful!"

"The White Lady is so beautiful!"

Everyone is gossiping and giggling.

Li Qian smiled, turned around and shook the tofu brain in his hand at everyone.

The female reporter said, "Just ask a few small questions, okay? Master, I am your loyal fan, and now I am also your loyal audience, answer my two questions." ”

Li Qian was still carrying tofu brain and fritters in his hand, but he still raised his hand to protect Zhou Yan, and the two of them turned their heads and were about to go out.

The little girl was a little anxious, and refused to give up, "Can I just ask a question?"

Li Qian continued to walk out, and the proprietress of the breakfast order finished taking the fritters for a guest, and shouted here, "Hey, hey, Zhou Yan Li Qian, I didn't look for your money!"

Zhou Yan waved her hand, "I'll continue to buy it tomorrow, save it!"

The female reporter saw that Li Qian really refused any interview as rumored, so she couldn't help but shout, "Can't you just ask a question? I'm an intern reporter, if I can get an interview with you, I can become a regular reporter, okay?"

Li Qian stopped when he heard this, and turned his head to look at her.

The little girl really still had a little green campus atmosphere on her face.

So he sighed, "Okay, just one question, help you!"

The girl's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she quickly turned back to give her companion who was taking the picture a look, and the young man took a few steps over and began to find the right click.

Zhou Yan took the initiative to take the fritters in Li Qian's hand again.

Although this scene is not uncommon to be honest, many reporters have taken it, but how to say it, the two top stars and top topic figures came out to buy breakfast together, carrying tofu brain fritters This kind of photo, ordinary people and fans just never get tired of watching it, so the value is still very large, and you have to take more photos.

But at this time, the female reporter was a little embarrassed, saying that she hadn't thought it through, and when Li Qian finally agreed to be interviewed, she hesitated again - there are so many questions to ask, which one should I ask?

And then, well, although it is also worth paying attention to when Zhou Yan will release a new album, who makes "The Legend of the New White Lady" the hottest topic now?

So, she asked: "As far as I know, Bai Yujing has been out of the entertainment industry for many years before filming your "The Legend of the New White Lady", can you tell me what considerations you decided to choose her to play the role of the White Lady? How did you persuade her to come back to acting?"

Li Qian smiled, "You are too greedy, these are two problems." Only answer the first one because she is the most suitable, thank you. ”

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and left, saying as he walked: "Don't chase it, you have to keep your word!"

The little girl wanted to cry without tears, seeing Li Qian walking away with the tofu brain, he turned his head to look at his little friend, and said with a sad face: "Is the question I asked too simple, he answered it in a few words." ”

The photojournalist looked at her in amazement, "It's okay, I think it's enough to be able to get these words out of his mouth! I've talked to so many reporters, but not many of them can get a few words out of his mouth!" Just these few words, you go back and add oil and vinegar, and the editor-in-chief will give you at least a 1,500-word version, don't worry!"

The little girl was a little unconvinced, "Really, but it's just a few words!"

The photojournalist said solemnly: "But those words were said by Li Qian himself!"

…………

This morning, I don't know how many TV station staff in various places who were already preparing to go home and even booked air tickets, after receiving the news, suddenly decided to stay, and I don't know how many people who were originally going to come to Suncheonfu and those who did not plan to come to Suncheonfu suddenly decided to book air tickets and fly directly to Suncheonfu.

In short, after receiving the data from Tan Dezhang on the phone, this night, Qi Jie felt that she had slept unprecedentedly steadily, although she couldn't sleep in the first half of the night, but this sleep, although she woke up in only four or five hours, she felt that her spirit was unprecedentedly full and vigorous.

She knows that Li Qian has done his job, and he has done it almost impeccably, and the TV series "The Legend of the New White Lady" is good enough to make all TV stations have no shelf in front of her.

And next, what I need to do is to try my best to maximize the revenue of this TV series.

Of course, this kind of maximization does not necessarily mean that it will sell the most money, and it is also a very important aspect that Minghu Culture, which will definitely embark on the road of film and television drama production in the next few years, needs to choose a few of so many TV stations in the country to cultivate long-term partners in the future.

In a way, this is even more important than selling millions more at the moment!

And this is the top priority of all her work in the next period.

In this regard, she was vigilant.

In fact, she was still having breakfast here, and before she went out, she had already received a call from the company, and the people from the security department specially reminded him, "It's just a little past eight o'clock, and there are already a lot of people at the door of the company!"

Qi Jie knew that it should be the directors of the film buying departments of major TV stations. Even, maybe there is the level of deputy director.

In short, they are all held by other film and television companies as grandfathers, and they may not be able to invite people from the past.

The rule of Suncheon Film School is that the sophomore and junior years start the school at the earliest, because they need to cooperate with the school's arrangement to organize the orientation of new students, the first year is second, and the senior year starts the latest.

In fact, by the time of the senior year, there were almost no courses arranged by the school. Don't care how to stick to the true character of the school, but the market environment is like that, stubborn like a shadow, and have to adjust their teaching plans with the situation, at least, their course arrangements must be as convenient as possible for their students to go out for internships, for the next work after graduation, to pave the way.

Therefore, in the next semester, no matter what department or major, there is only one highlight for everyone, and that is: graduation assignment.

The acting department has to rehearse big plays, the directing department has to come up with its own small works, the production department, the photography department, the art department, etc., anyway, the school wants to see you make something, and in the graduation grading system of the film school, this graduation assignment accounts for a large proportion.

If you are studying acting, no matter how high your test score is, no matter how awesome your theory is, as soon as you stand in front of the camera, it will be useless!

The sophomore and junior years have already started, and the registration of freshmen is in progress, but senior students like Li Qian only need to report to the school before September 3.

Even if there are other arrangements, just hand over the leave slip and ask for a few months to approve it for a few months.

Zhu Qiang's play was completely completed yesterday, and a group of drama workers who were familiar with each other on weekdays got together, and held a finale banquet for himself in private. Of course, several important actors in the crew came over to congratulate Zhu Qiang on his completion, and in the end, even director Song Xudong came over and sat down to touch a glass with Zhu Qiang, which is off-topic.

Zhu Qiang has entered a total of three groups so far. The first time I went in was to make a cameo appearance as a passer-by who only had a few lines, and immediately after the camera was filmed, the crew didn't even count his lunch box, so naturally there was nothing to talk about.

But the second time, and this third time, he was basically able to get along with everyone in the crew.

Only this time, the situation is a little different from the last time.

At first, he was just a small actor, he was happy when he played a role, and he mingled with the drama staff after the play, but later, as Zhou Yuhai said at the beginning, even if he still regarded himself as a small actor, the people around him obviously didn't think so anymore.

On Monday night, "The Legend of the New White Lady" rushed to 16.8 o'clock in one go, and the next morning, he received more than a dozen calls almost non-stop, and in the end, before going to the play, he even had to turn off his mobile phone, which made himself a little calmer, and then found the feeling of the role.

As for the calls that came, of course, I have heard of them and have not heard them, famous and non-famous, anyway, all of them are film and television companies and brokerage companies!

Some made an appointment for dinner, some made an appointment to talk, some said they wanted to come to the film and television city right away, and some of them directly began to give various promises on the phone!

Dai Yufeng, the manager of the artist department of Dayi Film and Television Company, also called again yesterday, because she was the first to take the initiative to contact her agent, so Zhu Qiang was more impressed by her.

On the phone, Dai Yufeng's attitude seemed to be quite different from last time.

She didn't say anything else, just said with concern: "I heard that you don't have a car, right? I asked your director, and he told me that your play is finished today, so the film and television city is quite far away from the city, I'll go over to pick you up in the afternoon, let's find a place, have a meal together, and have a good chat!"

But Zhu Qiang hesitated for a moment at the time, and decisively told her that he was going to have dinner with a few friends from the crew tonight, and politely declined.

Then, he chose to shut down.

But after a night of hangover, when he got up the next morning, he packed up his things and prepared to leave the crew silently and take the bus back to Shuncheonfu, but just after walking out of the hotel gate, he suddenly found that several cars in the parking lot at the door suddenly opened the door, and several men and women got out of the car one after another, and their eyes were directly locked on themselves, and they quickly pounced.
