Create the myth of ratings in Greater China.

Record for the highest replay rate in the history of zào.

With the highest ratings in Asia so far, the golden body has not been broken so far.

It has been used by many TV station directors as a savior to save TV.

As the top satellite TV in ratings and influence, Mango Satellite TV is the treasure of the town.

It is known as a divine drama where all the people are happy, suitable for all ages, and thousands of empty alleys everywhere they go.

It is the memory of an entire generation of people in the 80s and 90s, the most eager, the most serious, and the most emotional to watch back then, and then the most ruthless, cruel, and vexatious to complain, from poetry and poetry to the philosophy of life, a drama with both the characteristics of God and thunder.

This is the "synonym for winter vacation and summer vacation" that still won the first place in the ratings in the first rebroadcast, and can still enter the top ten ratings in the rebroadcast ten years later - "Huanzhu Gege"!

When Liu Jingting thought of these four words, he couldn't help but be happy, when he was in elementary school, because there was no TV at home, he followed his mother, several aunts, and a group of cousins and nearly 20 people, and rushed to a relative's house in a neighboring village to watch the finale of "Huanzhu Gege".

……

"Gu Shuai, what did you say?"

Gong Chengen was about to talk to Zhang Xiao, when he suddenly heard Liu Jingting's remarks about "finishing Korean dramas", reacted sensitively, and hurriedly turned his head to look at Liu Jingting.

"What is the ratings record of your stars and moons or their oceans, and the TV series?"

Liu Jingting did not answer Gong Chengen's question directly, but asked a question that he didn't seem to want to do.

Gong Chengen thought for a while and said: "It should be the ocean's "Gong Mou", which reached 20 points at the end, and the average rating is about 15.6, which is the highest record of the current TV series. Speaking of this, Gong Chengen laughed at himself, "Later, we followed the trend and made a "Palace Strategy", which also broke 10 points and ranked second, but it was quickly surpassed by their "Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness". ”

Liu Jingting nodded, and remembered the ratings miracle of "Huanzhu Gege", when the first part of "Huanzhu Gege" was broadcast, the average domestic ratings reached an astonishing 47%, which caused a sensation at home and abroad, and some TV people predicted at that time. Within ten years, no television could surpass this miracle, and the next year, when "Hoan Zhu Gege II" was broadcast, the national average rating exceeded 54%!

Coincidentally. In the other world, it is the most watched TV series in Asia. "Huanzhu Gege" once forced the three major South Korean TV stations to jointly issue a "Chinese TV drama banning order". The horror of its influence can be seen from this.

"Is this Liu Jingting who wrote "The True Story of Ah Q"?" Chen Xiao pointed to Liu Jingting and asked Gong Chengen.

Gong Chengen said with a smile on his face: "This is my good friend, the champion of this Wanxian Literary Competition, Liu Jingting, the author of "The True Story of Ah Q". ”

Liu Jingting suddenly came back to his senses, and a sense of absurdity rose in his heart, and he had just written "The True Story of Ah Q", which exposed human nature and was heavy and sad. It is too inconsistent to write the unrestrained and cheerful "Huanzhu Gege" in another hand.

While thinking so, Liu Jingting turned his head to look at Zhang Xiao, stretched out his hand with a smile on his face, and said, "I am Liu Jingting, and you are Zhang Xiao, the chief writer of "Guarding Ice Cream"?"

Zhang Xiao nodded in a panic. Stretched out his hand and shook Liu Jingting politely, and said unexpectedly: "I thought you were an old-school intellectual, but I didn't expect ......"

Gong Chengen said on the side: "Don't be deceived by his appearance, just look at him as you understand in your hearts." ”

Gong Chengen took Liu Jingting to meet with the other members of the group, and everyone threw friendly eyes mixed with some appreciation and envy to Liu Jingting.

After Liu Jingting finished greeting everyone, he whispered to Gong Chengen: "Find a convenient place to talk, call Zhang Xiao, I have something to tell you." ”

Gong Chengen suddenly thought of what Liu Jingting said just now, "I have a TV series", nodded quickly, and also whispered: "Small conference room", then stretched out his hand to signal Zhang Xiao, and said casually: "Zhang Xiao, talk about the script in the small conference room." ”

Zhang Xiao let out an "oh", got up and followed the two to the small conference room.

"Liu Jingting wants to join us?"

After Liu, Gong, and Zhang entered the small conference room, the other members of the drama team talked in a whisper.

"No way, he wants to go to Vientiane after graduating from high school. ”

"That's the Honorary Screenwriter?"

"That's possible, he's really good at making up stories, and last week's literary theory class, our old professor praised him by name. ”

"It's a good thing that he's joined us. ”

"Definitely. ”

……

Liu, Gong, and Zhang entered the small conference room, and Gong Chengen locked the door casually, jokingly: "Liu Shuai, people have been tricked in, and the door is locked, you, do whatever you want?"

Zhang Xiao made a frightened self-preservation move, and Liu Jingting smiled: "It should be that I, an outsider, am more afraid, right?"

After a joke at hand, the atmosphere naturally became relaxed, Zhang Xiao looked at Liu Jingting and asked, "Mr. Liu read the book of "Ice Cream"?"

"I haven't had time to look at it yet, but the palace ...... Cheng Group Leader told me roughly, it feels more novel, no matter how cold ice cream is, it will melt when it meets the sun, and this is what it means to talk about warm waiting?"

Zhang Xiao nodded cautiously, she wasn't sure if Liu Jingting was saying this with sarcasm, and asked cautiously, "Teacher Liu shouldn't be interested in this kind of story, right?"

Liu Jingting hurriedly said: "Don't call me teacher, just call my name, and then I am, I'm not a serious person, no, I mean I'm not old and stubborn, I'm interested in idol dramas, I criticized idol dramas in front of everyone in junior high school, and I watched them secretly when I went back." ”

Gong Chengen sat aside with a smile, neither objecting nor agreeing, Zhang Xiao listened to the sincerity of what the other party said, and was skeptical, and asked: "Then Liu Shuai, ...... you look for me?"

Liu Jingting said seriously: "I have an idea for an idol drama that I want to discuss with you. ”

"Oh, yes. ”

Gong Chengen also adjusted his sitting posture, put away his smile, and looked at Liu Jingting seriously.

"Have you heard of the princess's tomb?"

"Princess Yanjing's grave?"

Liu Jingting nodded and said, "That's it, the story starts there......"

Liu Jingting spent about fifteen minutes to roughly sort out the plot of the first part of "Huanzhu Gege". Zhang Xiao and Gong Chengen listened very carefully, and it wasn't until Liu Jingting finished speaking that Gong Chengen asked a question: "We tried to shoot a TV series with two male protagonists before, but the effect was average, if the two female protagonists are spoken, Liu Shuai, I'm not very sure......"

After Zhang Xiao listened to Liu Jingting's story, he kept bowing his head in contemplation, and before Gong Chengen's question was finished, Zhang Xiao gently knocked on the table. said: "Team leader, Liu Shuai, I think this story is promising, although I can't say the specific point yet." ”

"In the terminology of the novel, this is a typical short essay, and the biggest cool point of the story is when the two true and false characters are in various big and small disasters. Their emperor Ama punished all kinds of thunder and rain, and covered up with all kinds of tricks. ”

Liu Jingting explained. Here's his summary years later. When I grew up, I turned my nose up at Qiong Yao's love with the public, but occasionally when I saw the replay of "Returning the Pearl", I found that the coolest part was actually the plot of the emperor blowing his beard and glaring at Cining Palace and Kunning Palace to save people.

Projected into the novel, this is a typical protective essay.

"Yes," Zhang Xiao patted the table. Said: "That's it, in our country, parents are used to doting on their children, and it is the general trend for children to be keen on fighting for their fathers, and there is a father like the emperor to fight." It's just a face, and the love relationship between that Zhen Gege and the minister's son, and the love between fake Gege and Ah Ge are idol drama routines in disguise, and the three elements add up to include at least two age groups. ”

Liu Jingting nodded in agreement, looked at Gong Chengen and said, "Don't make empiricist mistakes." ”

Gong Chengen spread his hands and smiled: "Accept criticism, but I want to make one point, although I say so, but as long as it is Liu Shuai's idea, I will support it unconditionally, the reason why I first put forward the possible defects is the educational habits I received, I especially agree with the points that you and Zhang Xiao talked about just now, and I think that after the two heroines recognize Gege, there are still many stories to be done in the future." ”

"Well, this is a bit of a team leader, but the rest of the story is not in a hurry at the moment, I have to see the effect of the first part first. ”

Gong Chengen groaned slightly, and said: "The story that Liu Shuai just told should be able to do twenty-five episodes, which means that it can't be completed before the winter vacation." ”

Liu Jingting waved his hand and said: "It's man-made, there is still more than half a year to go until the winter vacation, and it is not impossible to make a TV series with twenty-four or five episodes." ”

Liu Jingting can confidently say this, naturally has his own basis, generally speaking, the production of film and television dramas should be divided into two parts: pre-shooting and post-production, of which in the post-production, the director should cut out a lot of content on the premise of keeping the story smooth and logical, that is to say, many of the early shooting cannot enter the finished film.

However, for Liu Jingting, who knows the original work and has watched many finished films, he can avoid a lot of unnecessary waste in both the early and late stages, which can save almost half of the time and resources.

As long as Gong Chengen is willing to participate, it is not impossible to broadcast while filming.

Zhang Xiao silently raised his hand and said, "I am willing to serve the dogs and horses." ”

Intern Zhang Xiao, when he mentioned this incident when he participated in Gong Chengde's talk show a year later, he said with emotion: "At that time, I never thought that that hot-headed words would actually change my entire career and even my life. ”

"What do you mean, Liu Shuai?" Gong Chengen asked for Liu Jingting's opinion.

Liu Jingting picked up a pen on the conference table, wrote down his WC number and mobile phone number on white paper, and then handed it to Zhang Xiao and said, "I hope the cooperation is pleasant." ”

Zhang Xiao took the note excitedly and said, "Happy cooperation." ”

"Well, this, only the three of us know about this for the time being, so let's keep it a secret. ”

"Of course. Gong Chengen and Zhang Xiao replied in unison.

The small conference room was suddenly filled with a passionate and high-spirited atmosphere, and the three of them seemed to be incarnated as hot-blooded sons and daughters of a special era in a second, and they almost clenched their fists and shouted the slogan of "revitalizing the national drama".

When Liu Jingting left after visiting GTV, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon, and Gong Chengen did not leave Liu Jingting in fraud because he wanted to go home to persuade his grandfather to set up the project, but Zhang Xiao wanted to rush back to the university town and take a ride with Liu Jingting, so the two went to take the subway together.

"I've eaten instant noodles, pancakes, and baked cakes on this subway," Zhang Xiao said with a smile, "and I've cried a few times." ”

Liu Jingting made up an inspirational scene of a girl crying while eating instant noodles, and said: "Riding in a car can sometimes inspire creativity, right?"

"Yes, a lot of the scenes in Ice Cream were conceived in the subway. ”

The two chatted for a while, Zhang Xiao quickly arrived at the station, and before getting off the train, he suddenly asked, "Is there a name for that drama?"

"Well, "Huanzhu Gege". ”

"Return Jun Mingzhu, good name, goodbye, see you online. Zhang Xiao waved his hand and walked out of the subway.

……

When Liu Jingting left the Xingyue Building, in another high-end office building in Jianghai, a young man in an aqua blue shirt was posting a microblog.

"After seven years of precipitation, seven years of brewing, and seven years of preparation, I am finally ready, I want to return to the place where I started, that's right, after completing "Forest of Sorrow", Xiaoliang and I returned to the fantasy theme again after seven years, August "Ding Novel", are you ready? (I was a little nervous when I wrote this advertisement...... ）”

The aqua blue shirt is naturally the best-selling king, deputy editor-in-chief of the Yellow River Literature and Art, and president of Dingshi Xue Muliang, when he was sure that "Sad Forest" had no chance of winning in the face of "Chu Liuxiang", he finally decided to return to his famous theme.

When Liu Jingting swiped this micro blog, he also sighed with emotion in his heart: "Xue Muliang's achievements today are indeed inseparable from his competitiveness and hard work, but according to Chu Liuxiang's popularity that is now snowballing, Xue Muliang's return to fantasy is only afraid that it will be difficult to shake the status of "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", because it was also in August, Liu Jingting decided to serialize Chu Liuxiang's second "Great Desert". ”

Although this essay contest didn't take much time, because of the ups and downs of the plot and the sudden changes in the competition process, looking back now, it also feels like a world away, and what is even more unexpected is that after the competition, he inexplicably took over a job to change the TV series.

"Although several serials have continued, it feels like it has been abandoned for a long time. ”

Liu Jingting thought so and sent a text message to Yi Shui'an: "I'm going to write the second Chu Liuxiang." ”

After the text message was sent, there was no response, until the subway arrived at the station and Liu Jingting got off the train, and Yi Shui'an's text message came in: "I'm a little afraid to talk to you now, I can write the story so sharply that people have nowhere to escape after reading it, Gu Yongsheng, how many things do you still have to take out?"

"You can take your time and look at it, and you'll put it out one by one. (To be continued......)
