Chapter 131: Hello, Sister Yazi!
ps: The second update will be uploaded in the middle of the night. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Cheng Weiliang hung up the phone, the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile of unknown meaning, and he was quite surprised by the news that Xu Xiaoming told him on the phone, and his perception was complicated.
No wonder it is said in textbooks that contradictions are universal in the world, opposites and unified!
After a week of fast work, Cheng Weiliang finally finished filming the first episode of "Meteor Garden", and the editing, soundtrack, and dubbing were completed. On Friday morning, the last day of September, he took the sample to the ATV small screening room for a test screening.
Xu Xiaoming, Mei Xiaoqing, and other ATV executives who are concerned about the show attended the preview screening, and representatives of sponsors including Dickson Jewelry and Watch Company, BMW, etc., also came to watch the demonstration of the work.
Sponsors want to know the details of Cheng Weiliang's directorial debut and female works for the first time, what is this TV series that they have been fooled into making looks like? Is it as good as Cheng Weiliang himself boasts?
There is no doubt that Cheng Weiliang's strict requirements, meticulous crafting, and exquisite plot pictures shot with novel film techniques in later generations, with the participation of Polygram's top arrangers, well-crafted interludes and soundtracks, under the strong combination, a new type of youth campus drama with exquisite pictures, novel plots and strong fashion atmosphere has captured all sponsors at once.
Seeing the invisible display of luxury clocks and jewelry products in the first episode, and seeing the close-up of the very eye-catching luxury team in the play, the sponsors gave a thumbs up with a smile.
The general manager of ATV, as well as several senior producers led by Liang Tian, Zha Chuanyi, and Li Zhaohua, also had to sigh and agree with Xu Xiaoming's public comment on Cheng Weiliang: The future is terrifying!
After the first episode was shown in the morning, it received unanimous praise from everyone, and in the afternoon, it finally negotiated the terms of sponsorship with the two major sponsors, Dickson and BMW, and signed a formal agreement.
During this time, it seemed that everything was developing smoothly in the direction of his plan, and when Cheng Weiliang was proud, he wanted to treat himself on the weekend, but he received an unexpected call from Xu Xiaoming in the afternoon.
Sure enough, the blessing is not double, God doesn't let him be too proud!
Good news, bad news comes together.
Xu Xiaoming told him that after the first episode of the test screening in the morning, ATV's senior management no longer had doubts about his directing ability and spoke highly of him! In the next time, ATV will vigorously support his filming work and increase human and material support for the "Meteor Garden" project.
While increasing support, a meeting was also held to decide to broadcast "Meteor Garden" in advance as the next stage of ATV's key repertoire.
Originally, Cheng Weiliang thought that after filming 20 episodes, plus editing and dubbing, it would take at least the end of November to be broadcast. Now ATV is going to advance the release of the "Meteor" drama to early November, and fight the ratings battle with the Taiwanese celebration drama Jin Yong's martial arts masterpiece "The Condor Heroes" on the opposite TVB!
"The Condor Heroes" is starring TVB's popular students Liu Dehua and Chen Yulian, and the original cast of "Condor Shooting" co-starring, with a strong lineup, which is TVB's second annual masterpiece with huge investment after "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" this year.
The modern campus youth drama "Meteor Garden" directed by a rookie singer vs the popular martial arts drama "The Condor Heroes" directed by the gold medal producer Xiao Sheng?!
The moment Cheng Weiliang heard the news, he didn't know whether he should thank ATV for his attention to this show, or should he slander ATV for someone who had sucked himself?
Xu Xiaoming told Cheng Weiliang that ATV originally planned to launch a 30-episode drama "Iron Hero" directed by him himself, with He Jiajing, Ma Miner, Liang Xiaolong, Dong Biao, Zeng Weiquan and other big cast lineups to fight against the Taiqing drama on the opposite stage, but at the afternoon meeting, some people thought that Cheng Weiliang's plot was very fresh and attractive "Meteor Garden" was also quite competitive.
It is better to adopt the method of Tian Ji horse racing, and propose that the youth campus drama "Meteor Garden" close to modern life will play against the costume drama "The Condor Heroes", and Xu Xiaoming's big drama "Iron Hero" will play against Li Tiansheng Producer, Zheng Shaoqiu, Weng Meiling starring "Sandwich Man", in this way, ATV may rely on Xu Xiaoming's big drama to overtake TVB in ratings and win a victory.
And Cheng Weiliang's campus drama against TVB's Taiwan celebration drama, as long as the ratings are not too ugly, ATV will make a steady profit.
led by Cheng Weiliang's "Meteor Garden", saying that it sounds good is a recognition of his ability and a special emphasis on his dramas, but in other words, "Meteor Garden" is a cannon fodder drama, which is used to kiss the first line of thunder!
Jin Yong's martial arts masterpiece "The Condor Heroes" has been released for many years, and its social influence is both deep and wide, and there are many fans.
Cheng Weiliang had a headache when he heard the bad news in the afternoon. But at this moment, he can't care about how to deal with this bad news, and he needs to think of a way to win the ratings battle with "The Condor Heroes", because he has an important thing to do today.
At noon, Cheng Weiliang negotiated the sponsorship agreement with the two major sponsors, Dickson Pan of Dickson Jewelry and Manager Huang of BMW Automobile, and after eating the business dinner, he rushed home, explained all the work, and after taking care of it, he picked up his coat and went straight to Kai Tak Airport.
On Friday, the last day of September, Cheng Weiliang took a 4 p.m. flight to Taipei.
He hadn't seen Zhao Yazi for almost a month, and he missed her, but he had been busy preparing for the first TV series this month, and he couldn't take time to visit her in Taipei. Now that the drama "Meteor" has been put on track in all aspects, and the first sample of the first episode filmed has also been approved by everyone, Cheng Weiliang can finally take his weekend off and fly to Taipei to harass ...... Oh no, I'm going to visit my dear Sister Artistry.
……
Zhao Yazi has now moved from the hotel to a community apartment in Ximending, a famous business district in Taipei, specially arranged for her by the crew. In the early years, she starred in "Chu Liuxiang" and "Shanghai Tang", which were popular on Taiwan Island, and she was very popular on Taiwan Island, and the crew valued her very much, and helped her arrange her properly in terms of work and life, making her feel at home.
During this time, she was running around filming on the set all day long, except for the occasional homesickness, life was very fulfilling, and she was very satisfied. On Taiwan Island, there are no longer so many media, tracking her all day long, watching her every move.
It's another weekend, after Zhao Yazi finished work, she went to the supermarket with her acquaintances, bought a bunch of dishes, and prepared to cook in person today, treat yourself, usually too tired from filming, either go out for dinner, or hurry home and get some food to deal with.
She was about to walk into the apartment with the supermarket bag in one hand, and when she went upstairs, someone suddenly called her from behind, and she was so frightened that she almost dropped the vegetable bag in her hand.
"Hello, Sister Yazi!" Cheng Weiliang walked out of the corner and called out to Zhao Yazi softly behind her.
Zhao Yazi stiffened her body, and after a while, Huo Ran turned around and looked at the guy who suddenly appeared with a complicated expression.
For a month, he wrote a letter to her in three days and two days, and the letter did not say anything insensitive, but only wrote some good and bad things he encountered in his work and life, as well as some simple greetings to her. will give her a few calls a week, insisting on telling her a few jokes before going to bed, Zhao Yazi hung up as soon as he received his call, or simply didn't answer, but he kept calling persistently, Zhao Yazi had no choice but to pick up the phone and listen to his nagging silently.
Over time, she also got used to listening to his fresh jokes before going to bed every night. Also, every day on the set, greet a bouquet of flowers or a basket of sweet and sour sweets from the florist staff.
It's just that there hasn't been any news from him in the last three days, and she doesn't know if she's lost or happy?
Unexpectedly, he suddenly came to Taipei to see her silently. (To be continued.) )
