Chapter 154: Questionnaires
Zhang Ran walked into the conference room, glanced at it, and saw that the main members of the crew were there, but he didn't see Chen Baoguo, and felt strange, didn't Teacher Baoguo come to see the jokes of the famous teacher?
Zhang Jiandong and the others saw Zhang Ran and Chen Daoming coming in, and nodded with a smile. Zhang Ran also nodded at them, and then sat down in the middle seat, with Chen Daoming sitting next to him.
After waiting for two minutes, the light went dark and a bright light hit the projection screen.
The scene of this episode begins with a conversation between Liu Xinjie and Zhuang Yunqing in the office, followed by the plot of Tan Zhongshu taking out the recording and asking Liu Xinjie why he betrayed him.
"Before Dawn" incorporates a lot of Sherlock Holmes-style psychological analysis in creating suspense and mystery solving, and if the audience wants to get answers in frequent battles of wits and courage, they must carry out a lot of trivial and even painful logical reasoning, and it is difficult to keep up with the plot if they don't think carefully. The wonderful plot, coupled with Zhang Jiandong's ability to direct, Chen Daoming believes that "Before Dawn" will definitely be an excellent TV series, or even a classic TV series.
At this moment, with the rapid switching of the cameras on the screen, the clean editing, and the atmosphere of pressing step by step, Chen Daoming was convinced of his judgment. Although he had read the script and knew the plot of the story well, he was still attracted and the whole person was immersed in the plot.
Soon, the content of the episode was finished, and the lights in the conference room came on.
The extras at the scene were attracted by the plot, and after the broadcast of one episode, everyone was a little unsatisfied and rushed to express their opinions.
"This TV series is so good-looking, it is completely different from the previous spy war dramas, and it is interlocking. Step by step, it's thrilling!"
"It's the first time I've watched such a domestic TV series. It's a pity that there is only one episode, so I really want to see what happens next! Teacher Chen Daoming and Teacher Chen Baoguo also acted well, I haven't seen such a wonderful TV series for a long time!"
While the extras were talking, the crew members were also expressing their opinions.
"I heard the director say that it would be filmed in the style of an American drama, but I didn't believe it. This is really an American drama style! We can actually make such a great TV series!"
"The plot is fascinating, exciting, and addictive, and it's amazing!
In the midst of the discussion, the lights went dark again, and the screen came back on.
Chen Daoming's head was slightly biased towards Zhang Ran. The audience's reaction made him feel that he had the chance to win, and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhang, it seems that I won! You are a very high-level director, but after all, you have been abroad for many years, and you don't know enough about the domestic audience, so you need to get in touch with the masses more!"
Zhang Ran said in his heart: I have been a pirate website for several years, and I have more say in the audience's preferences than you. Of course, this must not be said, and he said confidently: "Daoming teacher, is it too early for you to announce the conclusion now? The one who laughs last is the one who laughs the best! You wait and see." I'm going to win!"
Chen Daoming shook his head with a smile and didn't speak again, young man, it's good to have self-confidence. But reality will make him realize his mistake!
The second screening ended quickly. The lights came on. Not only is the content the same twice, but even the shots are exactly the same, the only difference is Chen Daoming's performance.
The extras at the scene whispered: "The content is the same. But the acting was a little different, and the first time Mr. Chen Daoming acted very positively. The second time it was a little more relaxed. ”
"Yes, Teacher Chen Daoming is too powerful. The same story, the same plot, he actually performed two different feelings, this is the acting skills of a top actor!"
"Yes, the same play, but it feels completely different, it's amazing!"
At this time, the crew distributed the questionnaire that had been prepared to the extras. Once they have the questionnaire, ask them to fill it out.
The questionnaire was designed by Zhang Ran after the content of the Hollywood movie test screening, with a total of 16 questions. Which one do you like more when two episodes of the same drama are you? Will you watch this drama if it is released? What do you like about this drama? What do you dislike about this drama? Please point it out......
Part of the questionnaire was about Chen's two performances, and the rest of the questions were about the whole play. Zhang Ran felt that since he did a questionnaire, he would have enough content, and he wanted to see what the audience thought about other aspects.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the statistical results of the questionnaire came out, and Zhang Ran came to the small conference room of the crew with the statistical results.
Chen Baoguo saw Zhang Ran with a smile on his face and knew that there was a good show to watch. He snatched the statistical results from Zhang Ran's hand and looked at them, and immediately laughed: "A total of 100 questionnaires were sent, and 83 people supported Zhang Ran. Daoming, I knew you would lose, but I didn't expect you to lose so badly!", as he spoke, he put the statistical table into Chen Daoming's hand.
Chen Daoming was dumbfounded when he looked at the statistical results in his hand, even if he lost, it was impossible to lose so much, right? 83 to 17, this gap was too big! He didn't think that Zhang Ran had done it, he knew that Zhang Ran would not do it. But he really couldn't understand what was going on, and glared at Zhang Ran and said, "How can this be?"
Zhang Ran shook his head and smiled: "I knew that I would definitely win, but I didn't expect the gap to be so big!"
Chen Daoming asked, "How do you know that you will win?"
Zhang Ran explained: "Because I am an ordinary audience, I like to watch your plays, your plays are watchable, and watching your plays is enjoyable." However, forget it, let's see what the audience has to say! These are more typical, you look at the item 'which episode do you like about Chen Daoming's performance'. As he spoke, Zhang Ran handed several questionnaires in his hand to Chen Daoming.
Chen Daoming took the questionnaire and slowly flipped through it.
Questionnaire 1: "I like the second Mr. Chen, this is completely different from his previous plays, so cute, so handsome, I will definitely watch it when the TV station broadcasts." ”
Questionnaire 2: "I didn't expect Uncle Daoming to be funny, I like this Uncle Daoming, very kind!"
Questionnaire 3: "I always thought Chen Daoming was a very serious person, but I really didn't expect him to be funny, and he acted so naturally and relaxed, I chose the second one!"
Flipping through the questionnaires one by one, Chen Daoming's expression gradually became solemn, and he suddenly realized that he had always thought that he knew the audience very well, and now he realized that the audience was far from his own ideas. Over the years, as his fame has grown, he has actually become farther and farther away from the audience and real life!
Chen Baoguo touched Zhang Ran with his arm, and asked in a low voice: "Zhang Ran, how could Dao Ming lose so badly, you won't do anything, right?"
Zhang Ran rolled his eyes: "Teacher Baoguo, am I the kind of person who cheats? Even if I really want to do something, I won't move so obviously, right?" Actually, I felt strange at first, but after thinking about it carefully, I realized what was going on. These extras are basically young people, young people think lively, don't like to be tall, don't like things that are too serious, everyone is used to seeing the serious appearance of the famous teacher, and suddenly see him coquettish, you will find it very interesting!"
Chen Baoguo groaned: "You are right, he is just too high-minded, and he is always acting with him, which is boring!"
Chen Daoming sighed with a complicated expression, and said to Zhang Ran: "Xiao Zhang, I'll go back to the room first!"
"Daoming, don't be in a hurry to leave! You haven't said who loses and who wins, it won't be that you can't afford to lose, right?" Chen Baoguo saw that Chen Daoming wanted to leave, so he hurriedly stopped him and gloated.
"You're happy to see me embarrassed!" Chen Daoming glared at Chen Baoguo fiercely, and then said to Zhang Ran, "Xiao Zhang, from today on, I will act whatever you ask me to do, and I will listen to you!"
When Zhang Ran heard this, he knew that Chen Daoming had admitted defeat, and he was completely relieved, this big man who was so tall that he was only willing to bow his head in the play really admitted defeat, this is not easy!
From this day on, Zhang Ran really mastered the situation, Chen Daoming completely trusted him, Chen Baoguo fully supported him, and the filming was no longer a stumbling situation at the beginning. The actors of the entire crew played their acting skills at a super level under Zhang Ran's training, and they all realized Zhang Ran's awesomeness, and they were willing to spend effort to ponder their roles.
Chen Baoguo found some problems when he was figuring out the lines, and was ready to talk to Zhang Ran. As soon as I entered Zhang Ran's door, I found that he was writing with a brush, and Chen Daoming was watching from the side. Chen Daoming's calligraphy is excellent, Chen Baoguo is ashamed of himself, and walked over and said: "Daoming, you are too disrespectful, you are also an old person, you actually use calligraphy to press a little doll, you are embarrassed!"
Chen Daoming said lightly: "Let's just communicate, don't look at Zhang Ran's youth, his handwriting is still good." It's not as good as me, but at least it's better than your words!"
Chen Baoguo said angrily when he heard this: "I have to be straight, even if I can't compare to you, but I also have some skills, how can I not even compare with Zhang Ran, this kid?"
When Zuo Xiaoqing walked into the room with two plastic bags in his left hand, Zhang Ran and the others were evaluating Chen Baoguo's words. Zuo Xiaoqing saw that they were chatting devotedly, and did not interrupt to listen quietly next to them, and when they finished their evaluation, she put the fast food plate in the plastic bag on the table: "Director, Teacher Baoguo, Teacher Daoming, let's have some supper!"
Zhang Ran sighed slightly, you should find a Daoming teacher, what are you running to me all the time? He smiled at her and said, "Thank you, Sister Xiaoqing!" and then said to Chen Daoming and Chen Baoguo: "Two Teacher Chen, eat something!"
Chen Baoguo picked up the fast food box, gobbled it up, and looked at Zuo Xiaoqing and said: "This is Lao Song barbecue, I often eat at this place, and it tastes quite good!"
Chen Daoming thanked Zuo Xiaoqing, picked up the chopsticks, and ate slowly.
"You eat slowly, I'll go first!" Zuo Xiaoqing glanced at Zhang Ran and left with a shallow smile.
Waiting for Zuo Xiaoqing to walk out of the room, Chen Baoguo touched Chen Daoming with his elbow, and said with a smile: "This is not right, isn't she your girlfriend in the play, why did she send food to Zhang Ran?" (to be continued......)
