Chapter 270: Departure to the United States

The next day, all the entertainment newspapers went crazy, and the front page headlines were all about "Before Dawn", and the ratings exceeded 11 may not be a big deal for CCTV, but it is definitely a miracle for local stations.

"Before Dawn" broke out at the end, and the ratings exceeded 11!"

"A miracle for a new director, the ratings of "Before Dawn" broke 11!"

"Before Dawn" is overwhelming, and the young director Zhang Ran is invincible!"

Dongyang Zhengyu fell into a frenzy, everyone knew that this drama would definitely be popular, but they didn't expect this drama to be like this. 11.3 This rating was placed in 2002, and it must be the annual ratings champion. Over the years, only two dramas have broken the monopoly of CCTV and won the annual ratings championship, Hunan Satellite TV's "Huanzhu Gege 1,2", "Before Dawn" is likely to be the third!

Beiping Satellite TV also fell into a frenzy, and the most optimistic people in the station only thought that the ratings of "Before Dawn" might exceed 7, but now the ratings have exceeded 11, knocking down Zhao Benshan's "Liu Laogen 2". This is unimaginable!

Chen Guolin sat in the office, and the smile on his face couldn't be hidden. A few months ago he had staked his future and destiny on Before Dawn, and now that the game was over, he had won the bet, and it was a big win.

Now Chen Guolin's position as director of film purchase should be stable, and the 11 o'clock ratings are too dazzling, and no one dares to take him down. In fact, even if the leader replaces Chen Guolin, not many people dare to sit in this position, there is a rating of 11 in the front, and the later people only need to have slightly worse results. will inevitably face a flood of accusations.

However, Chen Guolin is not worried about follow-up problems, although Zhang Ran, the biggest hero, will not make TV series anymore. But Dongyang Zhengyu has three plays in his hands that are related to Zhang Ran. One is an idol drama with Zhang Ran as a producer, and the other two are scripts that Zhang Ran suggested that Chen Zhenghong buy. He believes that these three dramas will inevitably be high-quality dramas under the creation of Dongyang Zhengyu, even if the ratings do not reach 11 of "Before Dawn", they will definitely not be low!

Wait until these three dramas start, and sign a gambling agreement with Dongyang Zhengyu!

Thinking of this, Chen Guolin's face couldn't help but show a look of expectation.

"Before Dawn" is over, but the discussion about the play continues. There are too many new things in "Before Dawn", there are too many things worth discussing, and the media interprets the ratings boom set off by "Before Dawn" from all angles.

"Yangcheng Evening News" analyzed: "Without faith, there is no veritable character and life; There is no land worthy of the name. If you understand Whitman's words, you will find that such an ending is precisely what makes "Before Dawn" commendable. ”

"Peking Evening News" commented: "The emotional tearing caused by the rivalry between brothers and relatives in "Before Dawn" has never been involved in previous spy war dramas, and the drama has also expanded the new space of spy war dramas and has a higher idea in the expression of ideas. ”

Among the praise of many media, the article "Wisdom of Spy War Drama, a New Narrative Model" published by the People's Daily is particularly eye-catching. The article wrote: "The 30-episode TV series "Before Dawn" has just ended its hit on Beiping Satellite TV, and the discussion about spy war dramas has been ignited. In recent years, "Before Dawn", a spy war drama that integrates various elements such as faith and betrayal, love and revolution, suspense and action, has been screened successively. A strong wind of spy warfare blew up, creating a new narrative model.

Liu Xinjie, an underground party member, was in the Eighth Bureau of the Kuomintang Military Intelligence Bureau before Liming, and after 10 years of dormancy, he was awakened by underground party sailors. Their mission was to work together to sabotage the Kuomintang's Trojan horse program. And not long ago, a mutiny revealed the secret that the top of the eighth bureau had **** undercover agents. Catch undercover - hide your identity, catch sailors - protect sailors. Executing the Trojan Horse Plan - Sabotaging the Trojan Horse Plan, these three pairs of contradictory tasks focus on Liu Xinjie......

…… Liu Xinjie is a revolutionary with his identity. There is faith, and there is also human affection. The image is not only tall, but also clear-faced. Facing the conflict between faith and human feelings, and restoring the true emotions of revolutionaries in a reasonable way is one of the highlights of the play. The portrayal of the opponents of the revolutionaries further excavates the depth of the theme. The Kuomintang officers headed by Tan Zhongshu were also obsessed with their beliefs and worked conscientiously for the party and the state. Despite this, it still failed to salvage the stormy Kuomintang regime, and through this huge contrast, the play deepens the theme of inevitable demise against the tide of history. ”

In a heated discussion, the negotiation of the second round of broadcast rights of "Before Dawn" is also in full swing, and various satellite TV stations are fighting for red faces, and no one is willing to give up this drama that drives ratings. When I watched the film a few months ago, everyone thought it was not cost-effective to spend three or four hundred thousand yuan to buy the second round of broadcast rights, and now if you open this price, Dongyang Showers will not talk to you.

Now the second round has reached a maximum of 600,000 episodes, which has exceeded the premiere rights of many dramas. But no one dares to say that "Before Dawn" is not worth the price, and now countless viewers are eagerly awaiting the rerun of "Before Dawn"!

On the morning of March 17, Zhang Ran, who had finished eating, walked back to the bedroom, picked up the big bag he had prepared, and then went out with Zhang Jingchu.

When he arrived in the yard, Zhang Ran threw his bag on the car, then started the car and drove towards the airport.

Along the way, Zhang Ran always drove the car quietly, and Zhang Jingchu, who was sitting next to him, kept nagging about what to do when he got abroad, he must have breakfast, don't stay up too long at night, the security in the United States is not good, he must pay attention to safety, etc., as if Zhang Ran was going out for the first time.

When they arrived at the airport, they parked their cars, and when they walked into the terminal building, the students in the class were already waiting inside, even Huang Shengyi and a few of them who did not go to the United States.

This time, there were three students in the class who wanted to film, and they couldn't go to the United States with Zhang Ran. Huang Shengyi passed the audition for "Kung Fu" and will join the group next month, while Cao Bingkun and Zhao Ke passed the audition for the crew of "Blue Bird Sky" and served as the second male and second female.

Zhang Ran is not worried about Cao Bingkun and Zhao Ke, "The Sky of the Blue Bird" is a play of Dongyang Zhengyu, and they are all his own people. They are in the crew Ken will not be bullied. And Huang Shengyi is the crew of "Kung Fu", and mainland actors have no status in the Xiangjiang crew. belongs to the third-class people, and Huang Shengyi is a newcomer who has never filmed. I'm afraid it is inevitable to be angry. Huang Shengyi has a bit of a big temper and loves to be manipulative. He reminded: "Shengyi, I told you that the crew in Xiangjiang is different from our own crew, and mainland actors are sometimes angry. Let's not care about anything else, just film well, you can call me if you have any questions, don't be distracted!"

"I know, Teacher Zhang!" Huang Shengyi nodded, and then looked at the other students in the class. He said sincerely, "If it weren't for the filming of "Kung Fu", I really wanted to go with you! Every time you take us out to practice, I can learn a lot of things, and this time I will definitely gain a lot from going to the United States!"

Zhang Ran said with a smile: "You have gained more from filming "Kung Fu", otherwise I wouldn't have let you go filming." Stephen Chow is a very powerful director, and he can become a popular actor, this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You're taking a good shot!"

Huang Shengyi nodded and said, "I know, Teacher Zhang!"

At this moment, the mobile phone suddenly rang. Zhang Ran took it out and saw that it was Han Sanping's phone, and at this time, Han Sanping called his own phone for probably only one reason. The final box office of "Burst Drummer" is out!

Up to now, "Burst Drummer" has been released for a month and a half, and the potential of the box office has almost been exhausted, and today "Burst Drummer" has officially been released.

"Bloody Notes", which was released with "Burst Drummer", has long been out of the file. Even the films "A Hundred Years of Harmony", which was released later, have been released. "Burst Drummer" still persists, and the weekly rankings have never dropped out of the top three. So far, the box office has accumulated to 98 million. It's only 2 million short of the 100 million mark!

However, everyone believes that after the box office of last week. "Burst Drummer" will definitely be able to break the 100 million mark!

Zhang Ran answered the phone and asked with a smile: "Mr. Han, if you call me, it should be the final box office of "Bursting Drummer", right?"

Hearing this, the students in Zhang Ran's class, as well as Zhang Jingchu's ears, all pricked up. Everyone is looking forward to a result, whether "Burst Drummer" can break 100 million!

Han Sanping laughed and said: "Yes, you are about to go abroad, and you must tell you the final box office before you go abroad, so that you can go to the United States with the joy of victory." Guess how much the box office is?"

Listening to Han Sanping's tone, Zhang Ran knew that it should be the best result: "It should break 100 million?"

Han Sanping laughed and said: "One hundred million and three million, the last week actually won 5 million box office, it's incredible!"

Zhang Ran laughed, thanks to the popularity of "Before Dawn", "Before Dawn" was so popular that it drove many people who had not watched "Burst Drummer" into the cinema. He saw that everyone's eyes were focused on his face, his eyes were full of expectation, and he smiled and nodded: "It's broken 100 million!"

"Great!" the students in the class cheered softly.

A movie with a box office of 100 million, even if it is put ten years later, in the era of box office explosion, is a good result. It's 2003, and that's an amazing achievement!

Now domestic films are at the lowest ebb, and Feng Xiaogang, who was known as a box office guarantee in later generations, only has a box office of 30 or 40 million. In recent years, there have been only two domestic films with a box office of over 100 million yuan, "Life and Death Choice" and "Hero", which are political propaganda films and have a large number of chartered venues by the government; "Hero" is a blockbuster with an investment of 30 million US dollars and a collection of Jet Li, Maggie Cheung and many other stars. And "Burst Drummer" is only a film with an investment of 6 million, and the director and actors are unknown.

is such a small-budget movie, and now the box office has exceeded 100 million, which is undoubtedly a miracle in the history of Chinese films!

"Burst Drummer" can achieve this result, completely relying on the audience's word of mouth!

I changed my boarding pass and waited for a while before it was time to board. Zhang Ran waved at Zhang Jingchu, signaling that she could go back, and then led the students in the class to the checkpoint.

"Zhang Ran!" Zhang Jingchu shouted, walked quickly to Zhang Ran's side, stretched out his hand and hugged Zhang Ran tightly and refused to let go.

Zhang Ran felt a burst of warmth in his heart, gently stroked Zhang Jingchu's back, and comforted him softly: "I can't bear you either!" But there is no way to do this drama, we will not be separated in the next drama, we must shoot together!"

Zhang Jingchu said "en", let go of her hand, and said, "You pay attention to safety, call me when it's time!"

"Okay, I'm leaving!" Zhang Ran said, waved at Zhang Jingchu, and strode towards the checkpoint.

After entering the cabin, Zhang Ran came to his place, put the salute in the salute rack, and then sat in his seat, closed his eyes and began to recuperate.

Not long after, the plane soared into the sky and flew towards Los Angeles. (To be continued.) )
