Chapter 212 Heart
Film and television, to put it bluntly, whether it is film or vision, it is a kind of sound, light, and electricity art. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Whether it is the big screen or the small screen, every audience understands that the story and picture they see are actually specially shot for people to see, and everyone understands that it is fake, but a clever filmmaker will make all this, whether it is a picture, a story, characters, lines, etc., look like it is in front of you, so that you know that it is fake and still believe it is true.
And the sense of reality produces a sense of substitution.
Whether it is sadness or joy, whether what you get after seeing these pictures is a harvest or a kind of venting, its source must come from a sense of substitution.
Therefore, the reason why the big ship is a big ship, and the reason why it won two billion dollars at the global box office in the era before 2000, is of course indispensable to that touching romantic love, but if it lacks the huge luxury ship, if it lacks those incomparably real details, it is just a love story film at best.
And later, "Avatar" became popular all over the world, and various Hollywood special effects blockbusters occupied the global film market...... In the final analysis, it's just because Hollywood filmmakers always know this truth best: when people go to the cinema and buy expensive movie tickets, they just want to see something they don't usually see.
So, when the time goes back to more than ten years ago, at this time in 1999, on the small screens of thousands of households, when TV audiences across the country are still watching all kinds of shoddy martial arts films, romance films, business war films, and war movies day after day, there is suddenly such a TV series, which presents the real super pictures that the audience needs to buy tickets to enter the cinema to see on a small number of foreign blockbusters for the first time on a small TV screen. Then, the viewing experience it brings to the current domestic TV audience, the kind of spiritual shock, can be imagined.
Therefore, even if the scene from beginning to end is more than a minute and forty seconds long, the protagonist around it is actually just a snake, but it is still enough to make many viewers watch it with relish.
When they would even breathe a sigh of joy and smile at the fact that this snake, which they were not familiar with in the first place, and even had no sense of substitution, finally defeated the thunder and lightning...... It is conceivable that in the next story, it is impossible for them to take their eyes off - because this snake has become a stunning beauty with a beautiful and gorgeous nature.
The mountain fox turns into a demon, the dragon girl recruits a son-in-law, and the love of humans and ghosts...... This is the story that Chinese have been most fond of for thousands of years.
Although there is no "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai" in this time and space, from "Sou Shen Ji", to the Tang Dynasty legend, to the Song people's notes, to the Ming Dynasty and the Shun Dynasty, as well as various legends and stories that are widely circulated among the people, such people-ghost romances, human-god romances, and human-demon romances are simply endless.
Therefore, perhaps a foreigner who does not understand Chinese culture will feel extremely surprised to see the scene of the snake demonizing into a human form, but for Chinese, this scene has no sense of disobedience.
Moreover, the white snake and the white lady who turned into human form are really ...... It's so beautiful!
At the beginning, she only had a humanoid head and shoulders, and she was still a snake god, but the special effects were extremely realistic, making the audience look like a snake and a snake, but just that face that captivated the country and the city was charming enough.
And when she finally faded into a serpentine form and completely turned into a human body, it was like a scene of a beauty taking a bath, although the camera was only given above the shoulders or below the knees, but you must know that imagination and brain supplementation have always been extremely powerful!
For all the TV viewers who saw this, in their minds, they had almost subconsciously made up for the graceful and delicate figure of the snake demon - and then, when the white snake blew over in one breath, he transformed his snake into a plain white Xia clothes, and then summoned and wore the clothes on his body, and sure enough, the white lady who revealed her whole body perfectly fit the audience's imagination of her.
It's glamorous!
…………
Zhou Yuhai had forgotten to take a bath, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but sigh, "Yujing is really beautiful!"
At this time, someone knocked on the door, Zhu Qiang took the initiative to get up and ran over to open the door, but it was Zhou Yuhai's assistant who had already bought the wine and food. At this time, it was Zhou Yuhai who took the initiative to say: "There are so many things, sit down and eat together, just watch TV together." ”
…………
Hunan Satellite TV has been strongly promoting this TV series recently, and the return of China's first jade girl is one of the key points of publicity, so seeing Bai Yujing appear on the screen so perfectly, many viewers who have seen her works back then, and even had a crush on her, can't help but sigh, "Bai Yujing is still so beautiful!
And either she is a little younger, or someone who hasn't paid attention to her before, seeing such an amazing scene, you can't help but instantly like her image in ancient costume.
Then, when the white snake transformed into a human form, the story officially began.
When she flew through the air freely, along with her sight, the audience once again saw a lot of beautiful shots, which were specially shot by the crew with a movie-level camera, including Qingcheng Mountain, Zhangjiajie, and Emei Mountain.
Then, Bai Suzhen, who had just entered the world, heard that Guanyin Bodhisattva had descended on Mount Emei, so she also hiked up the mountain with a large number of believers to pay homage to Guanyin.
If it's just an interlude, no one will feel abnormal, but when the audience saw that the Guanyin Master played by He Runqing was fresh, they clearly saw that the character in the play, the White Lady, sang by herself - this paragraph is naturally the one that Li Qian sang to Bai Yujing with an erhu in Chang'an Mansion.
The character in the play is played by Bai Yujing, but she is just lip-syncing, and the real singing in this paragraph is He Runqing.
The style of Huangmei tune and the lyrics that perfectly fit the plot, at first listen, many viewers may feel slightly abrupt, but I have to say that "The Legend of the New White Lady" uses the way of inserting and singing segments in the play to tell the story, just like an opera.
Chinese people love to listen to operas, love to listen to them for hundreds of years, and people's love for dramas in this time and space is even more powerful than the time and space that Li Qian has experienced, so even the audience in that time and space, after spending the initial moment of stunned, can gladly accept these beautiful singing segments, not to mention now, is it in this time and space?
Therefore, although the way of singing and harmonizing between Guanyin and the White Lady will make the rhythm seem a little slow, there is hardly any barrier to acceptance for these viewers sitting in front of the TV at this time.
With the guidance of Master Guanyin, as soon as the camera turned, Bai Suzhen quickly recalled a small story a few years ago: the snake catcher took the snake pill to make wine, and she herself was not very caught, but she was exchanged for a basket of peaches by a little shepherd boy for her life, and then released. Later, she made a promise to the little shepherd boy that she would definitely repay it.
So, Bai Suzhen, who wanted to cultivate into an immortal, found her goal.
The story of the White Snake has officially begun.
And by this time, the vast majority of the audience was already completely immersed in it.
Next, Xu Xian Xu Hanwen and his sister and brother-in-law's family appeared, and the case of the theft of the treasury silver also began to lay the groundwork, Xu Xian studied medicine, Xiaoqing and the five ghosts appeared, and then, the white lady fought the green snake and was accepted as a maid, and the sentence "You must go to the height of the West Lake" mentioned by Guanyin Master became the action guide of the white lady Bai Suzhen.
On this day, Qingming Festival, Xu Hanwen and his sister and brother-in-law went out to sweep the tomb and go out together, while the White Lady and Xiaoqing walked around the West Lake, every time they met someone, as long as it felt a little similar, Bai Suzhen did it, and saw his past life clearly, but they were disappointed again and again, but at this moment, they met Xu Xian who was alone after separating from her sister and brother-in-law.
The vast majority of viewers were watching it with relish at this time and were looking forward to the meeting of the two, but at this time, the TV series came to an abrupt end, and the first episode was over!
When the ending song has begun to play on the TV screen, many people suddenly realize that it is almost nine o'clock, and the first episode of this TV series is actually more than 50 minutes long and nearly an hour!
However, even if it's been so long, everyone still hasn't seen enough, the key is to break it in the most important place, there is wood, and the broken dog can't bear it?
Therefore, when the ending song just began to sound, I don't know how many families, how many TVs, and I don't know how many people, I couldn't help but sigh - it ended here!
Including Zhou Yuhai and Zhu Qiang, who were watching this TV series together in the hotel room at the moment, when they saw the end of this episode, they couldn't help but subconsciously show a dissatisfied look - everyone was full of food and drink, and even the chat had already stopped, and all their minds at the moment were in this TV series and this story!
At this time, Zhou Yuhai's assistant couldn't help but complain: "This is too good at episodes, right?"
Zhou Yuhai and Zhu Qiang recovered relatively quickly, and Zhou Yuhai laughed even more when he heard this, "It's a good score! No wonder it has to be an episode an hour, it's here! TV series, it's okay not to leave some hooks?"
Zhu Qiang smiled and said, "It's okay, anyway, there is a second episode today!"
…………
As soon as the first episode ended, many people sighed helplessly, and were about to get up and go to the bathroom, like Zhou Yuhai, who was about to take advantage of this effort to take a bath, but then, when the ending song sounded, it quickly drew everyone's attention back!
Even apart from the TV series itself, the song "Crossing Love" is definitely an excellent duet love song, its catchy lyrics that contain the Chinese concept of love, and the singing of a man and a woman with their own characteristics, all make it full of a unique charm.
In fact, this is the first time that Cao Zhan, the bassist of the four major beauty bands that have become popular throughout the Chinese world in the past two years, has opened his voice.
And the chorus with him is He Runqing, the top diva in China.
When Cao Zhan's very characteristic broken gong voice sounded, many people had already gotten up, but they couldn't help but stand up, looking back at the TV screen, and like Zhou Yuhai, who had already entered the bathroom, couldn't help but open the crack in the door, and asked with a smile: "It is said that this is what Cao Zhan sang?"
Zhu Qiang smiled and nodded, "It is said to be." ”
…………
The first episode ends with a few minutes of advertising time in between.
Night, nine o'clock.
The Golden Eagle Building, where Hunan Satellite TV is located, is still brightly lit.
Of course, the top floors are dark, and in the office area on these floors, only a few offices are always lit.
One of them is the office of Tan Dezhang's deputy director.
In his office, he watched the first episode of the TV series again from start to finish. Only this time, it is with the logo of HUNAN Satellite TV.
Even the ending song was played here, and the commercial began to play, and all kinds of thoughts in his mind fluctuated, and every now and then he would subconsciously turn his head to glance at the phone on the desktop.
After two or three minutes, the phone rang.
He stretched out his hand as soon as possible, and before the first bell rang, his hand had already been on the microphone, but after hesitating, he still picked up the remote control first, turned the TV to mute, and then waited for the phone to ring a few more times, then picked up the phone and said with majesty: "I am Tan Dezhang." ”
On the other end of the phone, a voice said: "Tan Tai, the ratings of the first episode are out, the highest in the first half is 2.4, and at the end, the highest is 2.6, which is basically the same as the ratings of our last drama." ”
Tan Dezhang nodded when he heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said calmly: "Got it." After the second episode, I'll report back again. ”
The other end of the phone agreed, and Tan Dezhang quickly hung up the phone.
Getting up and walking a few steps around the office, he couldn't help but rub his brow.
The highest 2.6, this data, is certainly not high, and even for the past ratings of Hunan Satellite TV, it can only be regarded as a medium level, but fortunately, this is only the first episode.
Despite the previous publicity, my side has done its best, but ...... Who let Hunan Satellite TV have been in decline for so many years! can reach the ratings level of the last TV series in the first episode, it should be said that he should be content.
It's just that...... 15 million!
That's what he insisted on taking down against the public, and God knows how much pressure he is on now!
has offended a lot of domestic brother satellite TV, not to mention, Huaxia TV also has a lot of opinions on Hunan's side, and the key is that Hunan Satellite TV should be reformed, this is the first step he has taken in TV content!
Once this drama fails, although the direction of reform will not change, in fact, as long as the family behind him is still supporting him, then it is impossible to change anything with these people in the stage, but there is no doubt that he will encounter more doubts and resistance in the future.
Thinking of this, he went back and sat down, subconsciously looked up at the screen, and waited for the second episode to start, and couldn't help but subconsciously think in his heart: Such a big business, I photographed 15 million on his table in one go, as a result, before the TV series started, the most important thing was publicity, but that guy was stunned and didn't want to lead the team over to do a publicity or something!
"What a wonder!" he couldn't help but complain in his heart.
…………
After watching the first episode, Li's mother went to the bathroom in a panic, and Li's father lit a cigarette, staring at the TV screen with empty eyes, but his mind had fallen into some kind of contemplation.
Li's mother came back after the convenience and touched him, "Hey, what do you want? I think my son's TV series is very good!"
Dad Li suddenly came back to his senses, "Ahh......hhh Well, it's good, it's good-looking, it's ......."
Mama Li didn't wait for him to "just" come out with something, and directly slapped him in the face, "Don't say it, the script is not good enough! or...... It's just that the lines are still a little bit hard?"
Dad Li was really choked.
Mama Li rolled her eyes proudly, pointed to the TV, and said: "If you have the ability to go back, you can also write a script, and let your son shoot it for you, by the way, you must write better than him, otherwise the father is not as good as his son, what a shame!"
"You...... You ......"
Facing Li's mother's smug smile, Li's father opened his mouth.
After a long time, he finally held back a sentence, "No matter how good the script he wrote, I didn't teach it?"
Mama Li glanced at him again, "You just blow it!"
Dad Li finally got anxious, "Hey...... What did I blow about? That's my son! I taught him by hand! What's the matter, he's out of luck, and I don't have any credit?"
Mama Li smiled, "Okay, okay, you have a lot of credit, okay, right? It's all your guidance...... These words, you keep them for those neighbors!
Dad Li wanted to speak when he heard this, but at this time, the advertisement stopped, and the prologue of the second episode began.
Mother Li hurriedly waved her hand, "Hey, okay, don't say it, it's going to start again!"
Dad Li held back his words.
But after thinking about it, he suddenly felt that Mama Li reminded him: Yes, it is estimated that many neighbors will ask about this tomorrow, and after the start of school, those colleagues are estimated to also ask, the Li family has a great talent, I can't wait for everyone in Jinan to know about this, and now that the TV series is broadcast, especially it feels pretty good, so why don't you ask around yourself when you look back?
This is the ...... Very important!
The prologue was broadcast on the TV over there, and the theme song was sung emotionally, and here Dad Li couldn't help but mutter, "By the way, last time that kid said that this drama seemed to be born out of "The Legend of the Warning World" and the Shun Dynasty's "The Legend of Leifeng Tower"? It's just ...... "The Legend of Leifeng Tower"? I haven't heard of it, and I don't know where that kid saw it!"
…………
When Zhou Yuhai hurriedly took a shower and came out, the prologue of the second episode had just ended.
The story of the second episode begins quickly.
The white lady quickly recognized Xu Xian, and then pinched her fingers and confirmed that it was the little shepherd boy who saved her a thousand years ago, but in the thousand-year reincarnation, he didn't know if this Xu Xian was still as kind as the little shepherd boy in that life, so at this time, the naughty Xiaoqing tried it, and tried again and again.
Facts have proved that thousands of years later, after many reincarnations, this Xu Xian is still the kind little shepherd boy he was back then.
So, the two began to try to hook up with this pure and kind young man.
When it rained in the West Lake, on TV, the picture was simply beautiful, and then, when the woodcutter and Xiaoqing sang "Love" that everyone had heard at the end of the previous episode, it added even more poetry.
One beautiful singing section after another, at this time, has not only completely adapted the audience, but also because of the simplicity of the tune, many viewers are familiar with this melody after listening to a few paragraphs, and began to hum while listening.
Then, the plot moves forward at a rapid pace.
After Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqingkeng abducted and deceived all kinds of tricks, Xu Xian, who was already deeply immersed in the charming style of the white lady, soon couldn't extricate himself, and then, the two sides got married.
The two sang heartily to each other on the night of the candles in the cave room, which really made the hearts of the two people close.
But then, when Xu Xian went home to report the good news to his sister and brother-in-law, and went back with the treasury silver stolen by Xiaoqing, he was recognized by his brother-in-law Li Gongfu, who was the county government's quick arrest.
At this point, the two lines laid out in the first two episodes suddenly converged here, and in front of the TV, the hearts of every audience suddenly rose.
And then...... The second episode is over.
At this moment, I don't know how many people who followed the TV series and saw more than ten o'clock couldn't help but sigh and sigh, full of indignation!
Of course, it's important to get up early tomorrow to go to work, but the problem is, it's too annoying to interrupt this TV series, right?
I want to watch the third episode, but I'll have to wait for tomorrow!
Of course, at this moment, few people realize that in fact, in the TV series, in order to ensure the ratings of the next episodes, we must pay attention to the rhythm of storytelling, and break the episode in the key place, which is a necessary editing skill, but why, they also watched TV series before, and they have watched a lot of TV series, why was it interrupted at that time, and they were not so angry?
That's just because, this TV series, whether it is the core of the story, the excitement of the plot, or the appearance and performance of the actors, has accurately cut into the hearts of the Chinese people for thousands of years, while other TV series have not done it.
…………
In the office, when the TV series has been over for a while, Tan Dezhang finally received the ratings data for the second episode - the highest 2.7, slightly higher than the first episode, but this is just a very normal ups and downs, and there is no intention of climbing up and down in the slightest.
The only consolation is that at least it proves that the first two episodes of this TV series are still very attractive to viewers who have already started to tune in, at least everyone has not switched to the stage one after another.
It's just that Tan Dezhang couldn't help but think: "This alone is obviously not enough." ”
