Chapter 254 Scene 254 Win over the female audience
When the crew left the stage, the recruits finally recognized a few actors, and shouted loudly one by one, "That's Xu Sanduo~ That's Xu Sanduo~" "Where is it?" What about people~" "Xu Sanduo came to take a photo with me~" Many people all came around, making Wang Baoqiang flattered and stupid, and stupidly allowed others to hook his shoulders to take pictures.
Lan Xiaolong was smoking a cigarette on the side, and handed a cigarette to Li Xiaole next to him: "Director Li, you are a good director, really, I took it today." Sighed:
"I thought I graduated from junior high school drama and couldn't find a job because this circle was too dark, but now I understand that I really can't do it, the director is only done by people like you, I can't do it, your TV series is more than a hundred times better than my drama version." After saying this, Lan Xiaolong felt relaxed in an instant, as if the depression in his heart had finally been relieved, he lost, but he lost smoothly and convincingly.
Li Xiaole sat on the bench and smoked a cigarette, laughing and silent, he was still a little ashamed of this matter, Lan Xiaolong thought that his level was relatively high, because he had seen the original version, and changed it on this basis, coupled with the foil of Sun Honglei and Wenzhang several powerful actors, it looked good.
If you really talk about the level of screenwriters, he may not be higher than this professional born in Chinese opera.
He has already begun to think about the next thing, after the editing is completed, it is time to promote his TV series, now this is the SARS period, the decline of movies, but it is the biggest spring in the TV drama industry, he has to hurry up and edit it well, in this special period, it depends on whether he has the ability to make a blockbuster.
Filming lasted another two weeks, and finally both crews had finished filming all the scheduled scenes, and after making up for a few sets of shots that were not required, the two-month hard shooting finally came to an end.
At the finale party in the evening, all the cast and crew of "Soldier Assault", who were already tired and paralyzed, toasted each other and made fun of each other's darker skin than before.
Compared with the people in the crew of "Happiness Like Flowers", they are really happy like flowers, the actors of this military aiqing drama not only did not tan, but many people gained weight.
According to the usual practice, Li Xiaole asked all the actors to shake hands with the behind-the-scenes staff, and said to them one by one: "Hard work~", which made the informal Ning Hao very embarrassed, their crew didn't engage in this kind of ceremony, and it felt like no one was official.
When the big guy was eating and drinking, Lan Xiaolong, who was wearing a military uniform, suddenly walked in with his group of soldiers, and everyone immediately frowned, it's over, this perverted screenwriter is here to stir up the situation again, he is so happy today, he won't let us go.
I saw Lan Xiaolong walking solemnly, holding a half-open box, which was full of all kinds of military merit medals and epaulettes.
Everyone stopped the noise and looked over curiously, wanting to see what kind of plane Lan Xiaolong was doing.
"Take a break, stand upright, salute~!" Lan Xiaolong suddenly shouted an order, and the unfamiliar soldiers in the row behind him all saluted Li Xiaole, who was drinking, with a standard military salute.
The whole salute was solemn and solemn, and for two minutes, Li Xiaole and the others felt very embarrassed and didn't know what kind of plane this perverted screenwriter Lan was doing.
After these soldiers finished saluting, they walked away, coming suddenly and leaving suddenly.
"What's all this?" Sun Honglei sensed that something was wrong, so he asked Lan Xiaolong with a smile, and the people at the table were curiously waiting for this answer.
"They are soldiers of the Northern Army Military Region, and our art troupe has mailed the trial episode of "Soldier Assault" to various military regions as cultural and educational materials for recruits. Lan Xiaolong looked at the backs of those people and said.
"Are we movie fans? Why don't you let us take pictures with them? Sun Honglei said strangely.
"They said that they came to see the director of this TV series, and they were going to rush back after watching it, and the train was too late." Lan Xiaolong's face was expressionless, looking at everyone's puzzled expressions, before explaining: "They are soldiers of the 7th Company of the 6th Regiment of the Northern Military Region, and they are the number company of the 7th Company of the 347th Regiment of the 116th Division of the original 39th Army, that is, the prototype of the 7th Steel Company. ”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and only after they reacted did they feel a burst of awe, and suddenly they all felt that filming this TV series was a particularly meaningful thing.
"Big brother, you are really good, you fans have traveled thousands of miles by train to see you, you are a big star." Wang Baoqiang smiled innocently.
"Xiexie you, I said those words for the first time I met, and I punished myself with three cups." Everyone was stunned, Lan Xiaolong stepped forward with a gloomy face, poured three glasses of white wine, and poured three glasses in a row.
Everyone was stunned and watched him drink it arrogantly, then he covered his mouth and ran to the toilet to vomit, and they were all stunned and hahadaxiao, and suddenly felt that this Lan screenwriter was not so perverted, but a little cute.
When Li Xiaole returned to China Film and finished his work report with Han Sanpin, Han Sanpin first watched the main theme of "Happiness Like Flowers" all day, and was very pleasantly surprised after watching it, he didn't expect that Li Xiaole's deputy Ning Hao was also a good hand, and the quality of filming this series was extremely high. It can be said that he has seen that he can rank among the top three in the main theme in recent years, and it is no wonder that Li Xiaole has always supported him to be the official director of the second studio, and he really has two brushes.
didn't wait for Han Sanpin to experience the happiness brought to him by "Happiness Like Flowers", and after watching the edited version of "Soldier Assault", he was deeply shocked again.
On the surface, he just said to Li Xiaole: "Yes, quite good, within the level." But at the private dinner with Han Xiaoli, after drinking two glasses, the general manager of China Film excitedly patted the table and commented:
"I have seen the best military theme in this "Soldier Assault", Xiaoli you look, as long as Li Xiaole and Ning Hao don't leave, within three years, we will be able to stabilize the situation of China Film and completely stabilize it."
Han Sanpin is such a cautious person, he can say such things, you can imagine how much confidence he has in "Soldier Assault".
However, after Han Sanpin woke up, he kept silent about it, because he keenly felt that although "Soldier Assault" is a very haode TV series, it is definitely not the mainstream, and it is likely to get a good reputation and low ratings.
All of this has to see the ability of the character, that is to say, it completely depends on Li Xiaole.
And the voice within China Film is also very clear, taking a blind attitude towards this matter, and letting the second studio fend for itself.
And this is also the biggest problem Li Xiaole faces, the standard of "Soldier Assault" is very high, but first of all, the audience must be tricked to watch this military drama, which is not so simple, at night Li Xiaole and Lei Ting sat on the bed, leaning together and discussing, how to plan "Soldier Assault".
Lei Ting was wearing a tight black T-shirt on her upper body and shorts underneath, her slender legs leaned on the edge of the bed, and she said with a laptop:
"I don't think there's anything to discuss, since it's a military film, then of course it's aimed at male audiences, I think I can do a round of promotion on the mainland website first, I checked it on the Internet, there is an iron-blooded network is good, do you think there is a problem?"
"It's not bad, it's not enough." Li Xiaole frowned and looked at the statistics on the computer, and women accounted for 64% of China's TV audience. 5, almost twice as much as men, if you only use a male perspective to promote, then it will undoubtedly lose a considerable number of viewers.
The positioning of TV series publicity is very important, military films are generally a hobby of men aged 15-30, and those who are older like war movies such as anti-Japanese war films.
The ratings of the original version of "Soldier Assault" are aimed at this group of people, but these men don't like to watch TV series, they like to surf the Internet, and they are not the main group of ratings at all, and the ratings of the original version of "Soldier Assault" are only about 3% at the highest in various TV stations, which is not the same as the ratings of more than 20 of future dramas of the same schedule such as "Huanzhu Gege" and "Ji Xiaolan", which can be described as low ratings.
"We also need to win over some female audiences, and I think there is a lot of potential for female audiences." Li Xiaole thought about it and proposed that in the summer file when SARS was raging, it was a battlefield for young female audiences.
"Female audience?" Lei Ting frowned: "Most of what they like are romance dramas." ”
"Yes, but they also like real idols." Li Xiaole said that people in this era don't know how much influence this kind of thing will have in the mainland.
In another year, the Super Girl program will be broadcast, and the champion selected in it will become the most well-known singer in China, but she has no talent for singing, and her appearance is not outstanding, and her success is only due to the fact that she has a strong fan base.
"It's like men like Japanese films, women also have their needs, but they need to be closer to the psychology, they like to find something beautiful to worship, as long as they like this person, then they will like everything about him." Li Xiaole smiled at Lei Ting.
And what does a male actor rely on to attract such female fans? You can't strip naked and shoot pornography, right? Lei Ting felt that Li Xiaole was joking with her again, and frowned.
"Sister Tingting, you're only half right." Li Xiaole laughed: "Have you watched Korean dramas and American dramas?" No matter what the theme of the film, as long as it is aimed at female audiences, then their male protagonists have one thing in common? ”
"Handsome?" Lei Ting felt like he was talking nonsense.
"It's a beautiful body." Li Xiaole said the unknown point.
