Chapter 101: The premiere is over

(Thanks to the book friend Dark Night Moon Wing for their tipping support)

After a few days of intensive training, Wang Baoqiang is not very fluent in Mandarin now, but he can also speak Mandarin in front of him, anyway, in the play, Xu Sanduo didn't speak Mandarin very well at the beginning, so let's practice slowly.

Wang Baoqiang knew how much pressure Lin Nan was under because of him, and even almost fell out with Kang Honglei for him, which made Wang Baoqiang work harder while being moved.

memorize scripts, learn Mandarin, train acting skills, and exercise your body......

Wang Baoqiang's level of effort was even shocked by the teachers arranged by Lin Nan for him, and the results of such efforts were naturally good, at least Lin Nan was still relatively satisfied with Wang Baoqiang's current state.

Just as he said to Kang Honglei that day, a "Soldier Assault" is not only the transformation of Xu Sanduo, but also the transformation of Wang Baoqiang!

The reason why Lin Nan had to let Wang Baoqiang play Xu Sanduo was not all for the sake of the soldier assault drama, but also for the preparation for the film that created the highest box office record in the Chinese film industry in another world.

With the coordination of the entire crew and the help of Kang Honglei, Lin Nan, the director, is very relaxed, he only needs to tell his subordinates what kind of effect he needs, and then accept the results!

Only the first episode of "Soldier Assault" was filmed in Hen, because Wang Baoqiang needed to adapt, so this episode was filmed for three days before it was filmed, which is still because Wang Baoqiang did not have many scenes in the first episode.

……

This is a small village in the north of the motherland, which can be called a poor rural area, in this village, everyone's wish is to send their children to become soldiers, because this is the best way for them to get out of the mountains, and Xu Sanduo's father is the same.

Shi Jin, the squad leader who came to Xia Rongshu Village to recruit soldiers, naturally chose Chengcai, who was excellent in all aspects, in the face of Chengcai and Xu Sanduo, two people with very sharp contrasts. But in the end, Shi Jin still recruited Xu Sanduo, a person who was unsuitable for being a soldier with a discerning eye, into the army under all kinds of pressure, all out of his sympathy for Xu Sanduo, because he didn't want Xu Sanduo to be called "turtle son" again.

The filming in the north ended when Xu Sanduo took the conscription train to the barracks, and then the entire crew left Ha Nan and came to the Yunnan Provincial Military Region in Kunming, which is a place that Kang Honglei has long found and has discussed with his superiors.

After coming to the military region, the crew of "Soldier Assault" was also welcomed by the troops, and the higher-level leaders even drew a team of soldiers to act as extras, which also saved Lin Nan a lot of trouble.

The filming in the military region was very hard, because the sun in Yunnan was very poisonous, and everyone had to spend it under the scorching sun when filming the training scene.

In fact, the hardest thing in the whole crew is undoubtedly Wang Baoqiang, filming during the day, learning Mandarin in the middle of his spare time, and resting at night, he has to receive professional training from the instructors of the army, but fortunately, Wang Baoqiang's body is very strong, and he has practiced kung fu for several years, so he can grit his teeth and hold on to the training in this army.

During this filming period, Wei Junbo, who is located in Haidu, also passed on the ratings information of "Wulin Gaiden" last week.

"Wulin Gaiden" exploded the above two directly as everyone expected last week, becoming the first place in the ratings list, although there is not much exceeded, but this gap is slowly widening, what kind of results can "Wulin Gaiden" achieve in the end, and whether it can create a new record, everyone will wait and see!

This expected news did not make Lin Nan feel much joy, he was directing the filming of "Soldier Assault" at the moment, and at the same time following Kang Honglei with Shangyi to ask for advice and learn from the director's experience, and his life was also very fulfilling.

……

Due to his poor performance on the recruit training ground, Xu Sanduo was assigned to the fifth squad of the Red Third Company - the paradise of the soldiers, the cemetery of the squad leader.

In the remote and arduous logistics pipeline maintenance class, Xu Sanduo encountered four "bad soldiers" who were defeated by reality -- they did not organize their housework, did not attend work or train, and played poker together all day long.

Xu Sanduo was like a stone thrown into the pool of stagnant water, but perhaps this stone was too big and too strong, and this pool of stagnant water has never calmed down since Xu Sanduo arrived.

Because of an accident, Xu Sanduo took the angry words of the squad leader Lao Ma as an order, and began to do what he thought was meaningful - to build roads!

Building roads, this is an impossible task in the eyes of everyone, but Xu Sanduo is doing it with relish, he seems to have walked out of the confusion he fell into when he entered the barracks, and for the first time found a meaningful thing that he could work for.

And Wang Baoqiang, also in the process of filming, in Lin Nan's encouragement again and again, without the initial surprise and confusion, began to understand what kind of things he was doing, and began to understand what he really liked to do.

Although the actor is far harder than he expected, he has already liked the profession, and now, he is no longer nervous in front of the camera, and he no longer deliberately looks at the photographer.

During the filming process, he can ignore the people around him, substitute himself into the scene in the script, and perform!

Wang Baoqiang's transformation made Lin Nan very pleased, and he was worthy of the fact that he had blocked so much pressure and put so much effort into him.

The only one to speed up the rhythm has increased, and the filming speed of the entire crew has been improved, and just when Lin Nan led the crew to shoot "Soldier Assault" in Yunnan, the broadcast of "Wulin Gaiden" on Haidu TV gradually came to an end.

Fifty episodes of the TV series, two episodes a day, for a total of 25 days, will be broadcast in early June.

Time into June, all the media have focused on the upcoming premiere of "Wulin Gaiden", and even some media have made a discussion column for "Wulin Gaiden": Can "Wulin Gaiden" create a new record in five years?

In the TV industry, it is generally measured by the highest ratings in the past five years, this is because with the development of society, the number and way of programs that people can choose are getting more and more right, which will inevitably cause the ratings to be lower and lower, such as "Journey to the West" filmed in the 80s, the ratings can reach more than 40%, on the one hand, because this drama is indeed a classic, but it is inevitably related to the fact that people at that time really had nothing else to watch.

The ratings of 40% are simply an impossible number now, so it is unfair and meaningless to compare a TV series that has just been filmed with this.

Therefore, in the television industry, it is generally five years, and the ratings champion in the last five years is the smash hit "The Reign of Zhenguan" three years ago, which set a peak rating record of 4.03% and an average of 3.72 percent.

Time enters June, the continuous broadcast of "Wulin Gaiden" officially ends, and a few days later, the ratings of "Wulin Gaiden" will also be announced with the new ratings list.

June 4th is the day when the new ratings list is released, but there are obviously many more people sitting in front of the computer waiting for the list on this morning than before, because today, the five-year record of TV drama ratings is likely to be refreshed, and it is very likely that the current "Wulin Gaiden" will be the most popular "Wulin Gaiden" sitting on the peak of ratings!

Wei Junbo waited in front of the computer early in the morning, and finally stayed up until nine o'clock, and the ratings list of the previous week was finally released, and after clicking on the list with excitement and seeing the ratings of "Wulin Gaiden" in the first place, Wei Junbo was shocked, and then jumped up directly from the chair, slapped his hands hard, and said three good words in a row with an excited face!

Then he immediately called Lin Nan in Yunnan: "Boss, the peak rating of "Wulin Gaiden" is 4.13%, and the average rating is 3.92, creating a new record!" ”

Lin Nan and the crew were excited after hearing the news, not to mention for the time being, the first thing they couldn't sit still after getting the news was the three major video websites, the three video websites held a meeting for the first time to discuss the contract agreement of "Wulin Gaiden", and after making a complete contract, some of the people in charge immediately went to Nanshan Film and Television Company in Haidu to negotiate, for fear that they would be one step slower than the other party.

In addition to the three major video websites, the controllers of the five giant companies in the Chinese film and television industry have also noticed Lin Nan's potential stock, but now they don't care much about Lin Nan, Lin Nan's TV series is successful, but TV series are not the focus of their companies at all, their focus is on movies, unless Lin Nan's movies can also achieve such results, otherwise Lin Nan is just a newcomer with a little potential in their eyes.

The controllers of the five giants all think so, in fact, this is understandable, after all, TV series and movies are completely different things, and Lin Nan, including Lin Nan's team, has not shown even a trace of achievements in movies until now.

But among the five giants, there is one person who is different from the other four, that is Lei Mu, he has been in contact with Lin Nan and has an understanding of Lin Nan's ambition to make a movie, he knows that Lin Nan will definitely make a movie, and it is very likely that after the filming of this TV series is completed.

This is also the reason why he is so accommodating to Lin Nan, he wants to see if Lin Nan's movies can create miracles like TV series, so he will give Lin Nan a lot of support.

If Lin Nan can create a miracle in the end, then he will get a general in the camp of ancient entertainment; And if you can't, there will be losses, but this loss is not something that Ancient Entertainment can't bear.

This investment in Lin Nan may succeed or fail, and he is willing to make a try!
