Chapter 70: Turbulent Fan Girl
20 days, whether it is long or not, whether it is short or not, when "Meteor Garden" ended, no one in the crew dared to disagree with Gu Cheng, and absolutely no guy dared to jump the words "bring money into the group" in his mouth. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
This is very rare.
Once a man is labeled as an investor and a woman is labeled as a vase, even if his acting skills are as good as others, or even slightly better, he will inevitably be said to have "no acting skills". For example, Lin Zhiling in another time and space, although his acting skills are not first-class, he is still passable. And no matter how hard she works, insiders don't say that she is good at acting, only that she is good-looking.
Gu Cheng really relied on his profound breadth and breadth to win everyone's respect.
From 40 years later, the vision of the knowledge index with no threshold for everything in the context of cloud interconnection has really opened the eyes of people in 2001.
Even Xu Xiyuan, who last year felt that Gu Cheng was "just well-informed, and his acting skills were at most equivalent to the top fresh graduates of Beiying", had to adjust her opinion of Gu Cheng.
As for Lin Zhiling, Yan Chengxu, and Zhou Yumin, they have already taken Gu Cheng as their acting role model.
The post-production of a TV series is different from a movie, and it can be done while filming. After all, the number of scenes and shots needed for each episode is very fixed, and there is no large-scale scheduling on a global scale.
When it's time for the release, you can even do the post-production of the next few episodes while it's being broadcast.
On March 8th, a Thursday, "Meteor Garden" was officially released on Wanwan TV. A month and a half earlier than the same period in history - the appearance of Gu Cheng made Chai Zhiping spend two months less looking for investment, so the film started filming ahead of schedule.
And because of the abundant funds, the mode of film release is no longer a grinding and chirping weekly broadcast, but four episodes per weekend, similar to Fusang/Dongyi's Jintu drama.
March 8th happened to be the day of the women's holiday, and the ratings were relatively guaranteed, and the next three days of weekends were very suitable for the popularity of the drama.
That night, Chai Zhiping and Director Cai specially invited friends from the TV station to dinner, in order to get the real-time ratings data as soon as possible.
Gu Cheng returned to China and didn't care at all. After all, the data of the previous few days does not tell the story at all.
"At 8 o'clock, the opening ratings were 6.5%, which was not bad. When she saw this data, the apprehension in Chai Zhiping's heart was slightly lowered.
After all, Wanwan is a small place, with only 5 TV stations and a population of 20 million, so it is easy to brush high ratings. A TV series on the evening or weekend of the main channel of Taiwan TV will basically have a 5% rating at the beginning. Unless the film is bad, the follow-up will be lowered.
"8:30, the ratings after the interstitial advertisement, 8.1%, not bad, it shows that everyone likes the plot very much, even if they encounter the interstitial advertisement, they don't dare to change the channel and leave for too long, lest they miss the plot. ”
When she saw this set of data, Chai Zhiping silently congratulated herself in her heart and felt that this film was reliable.
The ratings on the first day were finally fixed at 9.2%.
The truly terrifying thing comes later.
The next day, it happened to be a Friday, and the women who had just finished the March Eighth Festival went back to work depressed. In fact, except for those who are really busy with business, most women don't have much heart to work on these days.
Wanbei, Taoyuan, Hsinchu ...... In cities where female white-collar workers are gathered, uncontrollable office topics have begun to appear.
"Did you watch the new drama "Meteor Garden" yesterday? The boys in it are so handsome and domineering! Ahhhhh ”
The older women sighed: "I also watched it, but unfortunately let my daughter see it, and she refused to do her homework when she saw it." Alas, I'm afraid she won't learn well. ”
"It's so powerful, isn't it? Sister has read countless men, let my sister try it at night." There is no doubt that these words were said by the women who went shopping frantically last night.
In the first few days, it is normal for idol dramas to circulate among young female white-collar workers and have not yet spread to campus girls.
On Friday night, the ratings jumped to 12.6 percent when it started and 15 percent at the end. On the weekend of the next two days, countless female students who had been on vacation joined in, intentionally or unintentionally, actively and passively. Finally, by the end of Sunday, it was 21 percent.
When school started on the second Monday, there were countless girls on the Wanwan campus. In just one weekend of fermentation, the influence of this drama has spread from female white-collar workers to female students.
"Ahhh
"I love Daoming Temple, so domineering and arrogant!"
"Nonsense, Daoming Temple is a rich kid! How cold and elegant my class is, didn't you watch the scene in episode 3 where Shancai went to the music classroom to find Hua Ze!
The scene of playing the violin in the flower sawa class is definitely not empty with a bow and no rosin. Because the action matches the real tune exactly, you can see the mendelssohn E on the streak and quadruple skip. I'm learning musical instruments, and I'm definitely an expert at playing flowers. I didn't expect that the current TV series could find such a handsome and talented actor. ”
In the end, this girl's evaluation was also due to Gu Cheng's replacement of Zhou Yumin, which had this effect. Otherwise, just relying on Zhou Yumin's musicality, the violin show-off scenes left for Hua Ze in the script will be wasted, so he can only put on a show without rosin.
After all, Gu Cheng has a well-informed foundation in his previous life, and he knows a little bit about each instrument. In addition, there is only one or two minutes of violin scene during filming, and people who are a little basic practice those two minutes repeatedly, and take time to practice for half a month every day during the Chinese New Year, so they can naturally achieve a nine-point resemblance, and finally dubbing, which is seamless.
All of a sudden, the girls on the Wanwan campus were clearly divided into two major factions, and the little sisters who liked the sunshine and domineering and arrogant little were all praised by Daoming Temple. Like cold, elegant, and talented, they like flowers.
Gu Cheng's forced style is far from being limited to the effect of "Meteor Garden" in the same period in history. The extra points brought by his superb acting skills and talent are even similar to Zhou Jielun's "The Unspeakable Secret" a few years later.
Even if there is no drama to watch from Monday to Wednesday, all BBS on the Internet are still full of plot discussions, and the streets and alleys of the campus continue to ferment with heat.
The leaders of Taiwan TV were dumbfounded, and they couldn't believe that this was a TV that had just been released for the first week.
Chai Zhiping also woke up like a dream, and hurriedly called Gu Cheng, asking him to chase investment, pay for translation, and then sell copyrights to other East Asian regions.
What's more, sell the copyright directly to the mainland - "Meteor Garden" is in Chinese, and the translation and subtitles are saved when coming to the mainland.
……
Late on Sunday night, Gu Cheng and his cousin had just returned home from the company's business. Pan Jieying loves cleanliness, so she took a shower first after occupying the bathroom, and Gu Cheng lay on the sofa and waited, falling asleep in a daze.
A phone ringing woke him up, Gu Cheng picked it up sleepily, and picked it up: "Aunt Chai, what's wrong?"
Chai Zhiping was in a hurry: "You don't care about the ratings? ”
Gu Cheng said helplessly: "I'm in the mainland, and I can't see it on TV." I've been busy with an online business these days, and I have to lose 3 million if I can't finish it this month. Don't tell me if it's not a big deal. ”
He was annoyed by Chen Tianqiao's cooperation, Cheerilee's development team recently encountered some unexpected bugs, and the workload was a bit overrun, and Gu Cheng was also worried for a few days.
""Meteor Garden" has only broken 20% of the ratings in its first week!"
Gu Cheng knew that in addition to Huaxia and Fusang, the ratings of other East Asian regions such as Wanwan and Dongyi were not very valuable. Because the place is small and there are few TV stations, everyone watches similar programs, and there is no "narrow crowd" goods.
For example, in the future, "Da Changjin" will even reach 50% of the ratings in Dongyi, and today's "Blue Life and Death Love" will also have 30%.
Wanwan is similar, 20% can only be regarded as the annual fire drama, and after 30%, it can compete for the "hottest in history".
Gu Cheng cleared his mind and replied in a high-sounding manner: "How much is 20%? It's very good, if you work hard, shouldn't you find other media to do some paid news promotion or something?" ”
Chai Zhiping said quickly: "Now the key is translation! Subtitles! I calculated, the translation and subtitles of Yi and Fusang languages in the whole play are about 200,000." If the dubbing is a little higher, 500,000, you can't pick the most expensive voice actor. You can vote some more. ”
Gu Cheng was stunned: "Didn't Taiwan TV sell the premiere rights over there? I remember that the payment was a lot of money, and it was not enough for you to be a translator?"
Chai Zhiping reacted at this time, she was excited and confused.
In order to buy the premiere rights, Taiwan gave 10 million Taiwan dollars, which is equivalent to about 2.2 million yuan. Of course, all the final payment must be settled, but the advance payment is enough for Chai Zhiping to translate first.
However, Gu Cheng is now the largest investor in the show, and Chai Zhiping, who used the proceeds from selling the show, still learned that Gu Cheng would be asked to obtain his consent.
Thinking about the joint, Chai Zhiping also sighed a little: Now that the data is out, everyone knows that "Meteor Garden" will definitely make a lot of money. If Gu Cheng continued to make additional investments and increase his shareholding in the TV series without saying a word just now, he would definitely be able to share more money in the future.
He didn't take advantage of the danger of others and take advantage of his teammates' confused brains.
Should it be said that Gu Cheng is a decent man, or does he already disdain these hundreds of thousands of small money?
Gu Cheng hung up the phone, and Pan Jieying came out wrapped in a bathrobe just after taking a shower: "Ah Cheng, it's time for you to wash." Who did you call just now?"
Gu Cheng said casually while undressing: "Oh, Aunt Chai is looking for me, she is confused, she has money to translate, and she is looking for me to invest." ”
Pan Jieying dried her hair and asked, "Translation, is the film selling well?"
Gu Cheng went into the bathroom in his underwear and said to his cousin outside: "It's average, 20% ratings." But I guess we have to start running the General Bureau, and it will be finished in a month and a half over there, and the 'introduction film' procedures on our side are very ink. I don't know if there are any preferential ...... for the introduction of films with more than 50% domestic investment."
Gu Cheng said, while silently counting the people he knew in his heart, there were really no particularly good candidates for the General Bureau.
To do this kind of thing, it is not enough to have the ability alone, the key is to look at the network. And Gu Cheng doesn't like to deal with the government.
"Eh, why don't you try it with Mr. Gao...... He has worked as a director in the Sohu Entertainment Division and is well-connected in Beijing. That's it, try it tomorrow. ”
