Next chapter

On the first day of 1993, at eight o'clock in the evening, countless Chinese TV viewers were waiting in front of the TV.

Prior to this, Huaguo TV did a lot of publicity work on the TV series "Beijing People in New York".

Some of the publicity is obvious, that is, the wonderful scenes in the play are gathered together to make a trailer and broadcast it on various TV channels in turn, and some propaganda is hidden, such as letting the host and guests talk about related topics in a program.

As a national TV station, once a certain TV series is promoted, the effect is very obvious, and it has almost become a household name.

What's more, this TV series has too many gimmicks.

Super large production team, super luxurious star lineup, filmed in the United States, the first drama series to reflect Chinese life in the United States, movie star Jiang Wen starred in a TV series for the first time......

In the trailer, more than a dozen film and television stars well-known to the audience such as Jiang Wen and Ge You appeared.

It's hard to imagine that these people could appear in the same TV series, and the trailer successfully evoked a strong sense of anticipation among viewers, who wanted to see not only the stars, but also what the distant United States was like.

At eight o'clock, "Beijingers in New York" was broadcast on time.

The beginning of the episode is at Beijing International Airport, and Ge You is the first to appear in the camera.

Viewers who have seen the movie "The Great Satan" will know that this is exactly the beginning of the movie, as Ge You enters the departure hall of the airport, the camera moves in the hall, and familiar faces appear in front of the audience.

In the movie, due to the limited length of the film, this segment is less than two minutes long.

The audience may not have seen which stars clearly, and they passed before they reacted, and they could only see a general image.

But in the TV series, it took a full five minutes to show the stars in the hall, and gave everyone a close-up of their faces, which really surprised the audience.

As the planes take off and land, viewers get a glimpse of a real America.

At Kennedy Airport in the United States, Wang Qiming and Guo Yan, who had just arrived in the United States, ran into walls everywhere at the airport due to language barriers.

It was easy to find a relative, thinking that they had something to rely on, but who knew that the relative took the two to a basement and lent them $500 to fend for themselves.

These scenes, because they were filmed in the United States, give the audience a very real feeling.

For example, the lobby of the airport, both the signage and the announcements are in English, and there are foreigners all around, which was filmed at JFK Airport, and it cost a lot of dollars.

That's how $1.5 million was spent, and that's the price of pursuing authenticity.

From the time they left the airport and took the car all the way forward, the audience followed the car to enjoy the scenery of New York along the way, only to see the high-rise buildings in New York City, the traffic is busy, this is the bustling metropolis abroad.

The first episode alone attracted the audience in China and brought the audience into that strange world on the other side of the ocean.

When Lin Zixuan and Mu Shanshan watched it, they remembered that period of life in New York.

It has been several months since they returned to China, and when they saw the familiar picture again, they were quite emotional, they felt that they had a hard time at the time, but now they only have good memories in retrospect, and life at that time was relatively simple.

In addition to work, the two occasionally go to the streets of New York to drink coffee, watch movies, and visit various museums.

"What if we stay in the United States?" Mu Shanshan hypothesized after the TV series ended.

"I don't know, it should be working hard to earn money, scraping together enough air tickets to return home every year, bringing cheap gifts, showing how well I am living in the United States and how much money I earn in front of my relatives and friends at home, in fact, I can't even afford a house in the United States, I work overtime every day, and I only eat working meals in order to save money. Lin Zixuan guessed.

"You're too pessimistic, we're so incompetent. Mu Shanshan said dissatisfied.

At this time, the phone rang, Lin Zixuan walked over and picked up the microphone, it was Feng Xiaogang calling.

"See, what do you think?" Feng Xiaogang asked.

"Don't worry, we're definitely on fire. Lin Zixuan responded.

This is Feng Xiaogang's first time directing, and he is full of confidence when he says it, but he is actually still playing drums in his heart.

Lin Zixuan told him that "Beijing People in New York" is different from other TV series, this is with a task, as long as Huaguo TV carries out all-round publicity, it is difficult for this TV series to become popular.

With this premise, coupled with the high level of the TV drama system, it will definitely be a phenomenal drama.

Although I don't know if it can exceed the ratings of "Desire", there should be no big gap.

Feng Xiaogang is more concerned about the audience's reaction.

After all, this is a story that takes place in a foreign country, and it also involves the plot of a business war, which is not as down-to-earth as "Desire", and I don't know if the people in China can accept it.

The next day, Lin Zixuan came to the art center.

Many people in the center are talking about "Beijing People in New York", which is a drama series produced by the art center, and everyone is very concerned.

When he came to the office, Feng Xiaogang was flipping through the newspapers, and the slightly influential newspapers in the capital were probably bought by him.

Lin Zixuan picked up a copy of "Beijing Youth Daily", opened it and looked at it, the first page talked about national events, and the second page had a discussion about the tide of going abroad, which was already a very important position.

It seems that the print media has begun to exert its strength, and with the broadcast of TV dramas, it will inevitably set off a ******** boom.

"Brother Feng, don't worry now, you will enter the film industry in the future and become the best director, this is just the first step in the long march. After Feng Xiaogang finished reading the newspaper, Lin Zixuan said with a smile.

"These can't be counted, it's all propaganda. Feng Xiaogang said soberly, "I think it's vulgar for us to make a film and say that it is ideal, mainly to enrich the cultural and entertainment life of the people, and when the people are happy to watch it, it is a good film, and the people can't understand it, if you say it's art, it's not interesting." ”

"Don't talk about it everywhere, you will be said that you don't understand art. Lin Zixuan teased.

"I didn't go to college, I didn't study art, I was a layman, I don't know how to pretend to understand. Feng Xiaogang laughed at himself, "But I admire those who engage in art, although I can't understand it, but I think people are very powerful, and it is also a skill to be able to make films that others can't understand." ”

"Brother Feng, you still have to serve the people, don't come to those artists. Lin Zixuan said speechlessly.

"Hehe, I think so too, okay, this matter is over, whatever tasks are below, I am ready. Feng Xiaogang said lightly.

Lin Zixuan saw that Feng Xiaogang was indeed rested, and put down "Beijingers in New York", so he discussed with him the filming plan for this year, after all, it was already 1993. (To be continued.) )
