After the applause reached a high tide, it gradually retreated.

All the actors on the stage lined up in a row, and Cheng Weiliang led all the main creative staff to bow slightly to the audience.

Cheng Weiliang spoke into the microphone and transmitted his voice to all corners of the hall, "Distinguished guests and friends from the media, on behalf of all the main creators of the crew of "Meteor Garden", I would like to express my gratitude to everyone for coming to our start-up press conference!"

"Presumably, there are still some questions in the hearts of journalists, so I won't talk nonsense, and now I will start asking questions freely. Cheng Weiliang didn't talk nonsense, waved his hand to the audience, and signaled that the reporters could start asking questions.

As early as when the actors appeared on the stage one by one, the reporters had countless questions in their hearts that they were eager to ask, and as soon as Cheng Weiliang announced, everyone immediately rushed to raise their hands, hoping to be the first to ask.

At this time, the actors, choreographer Mei Xiaoqing, and ATV representative Xu Xiaoming were already seated on the rostrum, Cheng Weiliang and Xu Xiaoming sat in the middle, glanced at each other, Xu Xiaoming pointed forward, and designated a female reporter in a red shirt in the front row.

The female reporter stood up excitedly and asked the creators on the stage: "Mr. Cheng, I am a reporter from "Cheng Pao", and I saw that the actors on the stage are all very young, what style of TV series is "Meteor Garden"?

The female reporter's questions are more formal, mainly around the TV series itself, and she didn't ask some sharp questions at the beginning, presumably this is a good relationship with ATV.

Cheng Weiliang smiled and replied, "Miss Reporter's question is very good, this is exactly what I want to tell you." "Meteor Garden" is not an ordinary youth campus drama. It is an idol drama. Its biggest feature is youth, fashion, inspirational, and tells a very interesting youth love story that is both real and dreamy, you can call this story a 'fairy tale for adults'. The boot date is set for September 22, the day after tomorrow, and you are welcome to come and watch the boot worship ceremony. ”

A different kind of youth film? That is to say, to compare Xiangjiang's previous youth dramas? Other reporters were excited, and they were still sitting on "Sunshine in the Shower", which had beaten TVB in ratings at that time. Mei Xiaoqing, the director of the first youth drama, has to write this article!

After one question, the next reporter will take over immediately.

The reporters scrambled to ask a lot of questions of concern. Some paid attention to the two new songs sung by Cheng Weiliang on the spot, some asked about the preparation of the crew, some were interested in some new actors, and some asked Mei Xiaoqing to supervise this new style of youth drama, can it break through the high ratings of "IQ When It Matures", which is also a campus youth drama in 81?

These reporters have a good relationship with ATV, and the questions they ask are not sharp, which is more conducive to promoting the show.

Several reporters arranged by ATV were on the scene. It was the turn of other media reporters to ask questions.

"May I ask Mr. Cheng, there is a lot of discussion in the outside world, rumors about "Popular Garden", because the filming budget you planned is too high, resulting in a delay in starting the film, and you need to attract investment from other companies and enterprises, is there such a thing?" This reporter heard a lot of rumors that Cheng Weiliang has been running various companies in the past few days.

"There's no such thing. We have a lot of money! We were going to invest a million. Sponsorship is to produce a better TV series to give back to the audience. Of course, it is also a win-win cooperation with more related enterprises!"

"May I ask Mr. Cheng, I heard that you originally cooperated with TVB in the hit drama "Rogue Tycoon". Why do you want to give up TVB now and cooperate with ATV instead?"

"I am willing to cooperate with all the right film and television companies and TV stations, and there is no question of who to give up. Sorry, your question is off track with today's Meteor Garden, please note!"

"Liang Zai, it is reported that your debut album has sold more than 500,000 on Taiwan Island. Can you juggle both of them when you're so good at music and now you're suddenly going to turn to TV production, or is Meteor Garden just a game on your whim?"

"Miss Reporter, you're off topic. But I can simply say that "Meteor Garden" is definitely not a whim of mine. Thank you!Next one!"

A male reporter with a more Sven appearance. Pushing the black-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose, he asked: "May I ask Mr. Cheng, Mr. Xu Xiaoming announced just now that "Meteor Garden" will be filmed and produced by you and ATV with a joint investment of 1 million, as we all know, ATV's advertising costs are not high today, may I ask a fashion drama with only 20 episodes, how do you recover the high investment cost?"

It means that ATV's advertising revenue is so scummy, it is impossible to buy this drama at a high price, how can you return your investment with high investment? Do you not understand filming, so you plan to use money to smash it out to make a reputation, and it doesn't matter whether you can earn back your old book of selling songs?

This subtext can be heard by the old rivers and lakes present. not only slapped ATV in the face, but also asked Cheng Weiliang if he was so ambitious and wasted his own and other people's money to achieve his "versatile" reputation?

The reporters present all pricked up their ears and listened to Cheng Weiliang's answer.

Cheng Weiliang glanced at the reporter of Si Swenwen, was not moved, and replied calmly: "I always believe that as long as you produce a high-quality TV series that is popular with the audience, you will not be afraid of not recovering the cost." Now both TV stations have filmed a lot of costume dramas with an investment of more than one million, and they have not lost money! I want to say that in fact, fashion dramas have more profit space than costume dramas that can be deeply explored. In terms of profitability, I have written a forecast of investment returns to the relevant investors. ”

It means that the investment risks and returns of this project, I have written an analysis report and handed it to the investor, and it has been approved.

The black-framed reporter sat back.

Immediately, another reporter didn't wait for Cheng Weiliang to be named, and couldn't wait to stand up and ask: "Mr. Cheng, how do you ensure that you, a layman, can produce a high-quality TV series as a producer? It is reported that it is precisely because you insist on being the producer that TVB has canceled the "Meteor Garden" cooperation plan. The reporter unceremoniously kicked the inside story of Cheng Weiliang's cooperation plan with TVB to be aborted.

Although some time ago, the media circle and the TV circle have been circulating the gossip that Cheng Weiliang is going to cooperate with TVB to shoot a youth campus drama he wrote, but Cheng Weiliang and TVB have not admitted it officially. Therefore, except for a few people, most people don't know the inside story of the interruption of Cheng Weiliang's cooperation with TVB. I don't even know that the two sides have turned their faces. After all, in July and August, Cheng Weiliang and TVB still had a close relationship, and the two sides also collaborated on a hit drama "Rogue Tycoon". After the launch of "Rogue Tycoon", everyone also noticed that Cheng Weiliang did not appear in the crew anymore, but the reporters thought that Cheng Weiliang was returning to Polygram last month to list his first album, and he had no time to take care of the internship work in the crew.

Until yesterday morning, a tabloid broke the news that Cheng Weiliang and ATV were cooperating to shoot a drama. The reporters suddenly remembered that Cheng Weiliang seemed to have not appeared in the TVB crew at all since last month.

Cheng Weiliang replied unhurriedly: "Mr. reporter, I first want to correct your wording, I am a newcomer, but not a layman!" The film crew of "Meteor Garden" is composed of senior members of ATV who have many years of experience in television production. Director Xu served as the senior consultant, and Ms. Mei Xiaoqing served as the executive producer. And I, as the screenwriter of this drama and the director at the same time, just to ensure that the film is more in line with the idol drama style set by the script. ”

In order to reduce the suspicion of the outside world. Cheng Weiliang deliberately highlighted the identities of Xu Xiaoming and Mei Xiaoqing's actual executors of the crew, and blurred his identity as a director. gives the outside world the illusion that he Cheng Weiliang just asked for the pseudonym of the producer, and the filming of the TV series is actually hosted by Xu Xiaoming or Mei Xiaoqing.

The producer power of the Xiangjiang TV crew is quite large, whether it is the filming of the TV series, or the financial and personnel of the crew, it is decided by the producer, and the producer of Xiangjiang is equivalent to the director status of the mainland crew, or even higher. The choreographer and director of the Xiangjiang crew. It is equivalent to the assistant of the producer, usually there are 2 to 3 choreographers and 3 to 5 assistant choreographers and directors in a TV series.

Reporters heard Cheng Weiliang hint like this. Jun exchanged glances with his companions, and most of them read a meaning from the other party's eyes, "So that's the case! Cheng Weiliang just wants a false position! Then why did he fall out with TVB?"

Xu Xiaoming saw that the reporters were focusing on Cheng Weiliang one after another, for fear that Cheng Weiliang would be forced to ask questions by waves of reporters and something would go wrong, Xu Xiaoming hurriedly gave a signal to the audience. Motioned for a male reporter in a horizontal striped shirt in the crowd to stand up and ask a question. This is a senior entertainment reporter who is good friends with their ATV, and it is a trust specially arranged by Xu Xiaoming to ask some questions that the crew wants reporters to ask.

Sure enough, the male reporter stood up and asked, "Director Xu." The actors' debut was really exciting, how did you come up with such a unique press conference? Are the actors just performing the characteristics of the characters in the play?"

Xu Xiaoming smiled and pointed to Cheng Weiliang next to him and said, "Well, Mr. Cheng Weiliang came up with it, he is the bridge king of our crew." In addition to the creative performances, even the clothes and hairstyles of the actors were also completed under his guidance. He's a screenwriter, he knows best what the characters in the script should be, and what kind of characteristics they have?For example, the pair of duo in school uniforms, do you think the performances of the two of them are distinctive?" not only praised Cheng Weiliang's versatility, but also showed that Cheng Weiliang was most familiar with the script, and his choice of actors was well-founded. hints to those reporters who have watched the live performance, stop saying that Cheng Weiliang doesn't know how to choose actors, and unspoken rules for a newcomer to be the heroine!

The reporters were shocked! The actors appeared on the stage to perform this part, and they thought that Cheng Weiliang had designed them, but the new styles of hairstyles and clothes of the actors on the stage were not quite the same as those of the current Xiangjiang, and the reporters never expected that they were Cheng Weiliang's handiwork! They couldn't imagine that Cheng Weiliang, a newcomer who had just come from the poor ditch mainland for a few months, would have such a fashionable sense?

After hearing this, a young female reporter preemptively asked, "Liang Zai, may I ask which famous designer designed the clothes of Miss Wei Qiuhua, Miss Guan, and Miss Zeng? It seems that after asking out, she also plans to make a set of such clothes.

A few male reporters next to him were angry, women are women, at this time they are still thinking about clothes, do they know that the time for the press conference is limited, they don't hurry up at this time, and actually waste time asking some non-nutritious questions!

Cheng Weiliang smiled at the female reporter with a round face and a little cute, and said: "That's right, this drama involves celebrity society, so we are striving for excellence in costumes and other props, and invited relevant companies to cooperate with the crew to strive to restore the most realistic scenes." As for the clothing brand, this journalist lady might as well wait a little longer, it will be revealed soon. ”

Cheng Weiliang and the two major sponsoring companies of TAL Garment and Tse Ruilin Jewelry agreed that before the broadcast of "Meteor Garden", they would not mention sponsors in the publicity of various occasions, so as not to be known in advance by people with intentions. After all, product placement is a double-edged sword, and if it is used well, it opens up a new way for yourself and people in the film and television industry to obtain shooting funds, and people in the entire film and television industry have to accept his love for Cheng Weiliang; And after the broadcast, when the audience relish the plot, even if they find the invisible advertisements in the play, I am afraid that they will love the house and Wu, and sigh at the product placement ads.

Next, a series of reporters asked Xu Xiaoming, Mei Xiaoqing and other actors some gentle questions.

As the press conference drew to a close, another reporter finally raised a sharp topic.

A familiar reporter came out of the crowd, looked at Cheng Weiliang, and asked almost defiantly: "Mr. Cheng, I am a reporter from Oriental Daily, can you explain your relationship with Miss Zeng, the heroine of this play?" It is reported that you interviewed Miss Li Saifeng on the field first, she is the hot candidate for the heroine, and you also asked her questions several times at that time, obviously agreeing with Miss Li Saifeng's image and acting skills, but why did you suddenly choose Miss Zeng, who did not graduate from the wireless training class, and let Miss Li play a supporting actress with few scenes?"

When Li Saifeng heard the reporter's speech, his body stiffened, and he shouted in his heart! "Yesterday's tabloid news broke the news without mentioning me, so why is this reporter telling me so accurately now? Could it be that after the master issued a gag order yesterday, someone still secretly broke the news to the reporter? Will they suspect me when they become the producer?"

Zeng Huaqian knew that there were many audiences watching the stage, but she couldn't help but glance at Cheng Weiliang next to her.

At this time, I don't know how many cameras were aimed at Cheng Weiliang, waiting to capture any of his wrong expressions.

Cheng Weiliang remained silent on his face, and still sighed in his heart: After all, he is still here! The touching live role-play between himself and Zeng Huaqian just now still can't completely block the minds of some reporters, and he also dragged Li Saifeng into this troubled water.
