The next day, Chen Xuanting came to the crew early in the morning and saw a shoe box on the table where he was editing tape.

When I opened it, I saw that it was my own pair of leather shoes, which were as bright as new.

Holding the leather shoes, Chen Xuanting looked at it, and at this time Zhang Daming poked his head and said, "Oh, who sent it?" How do you send a pair of old shoes?! It's too unreasonable! ”

Chen Xuanting didn't bother to pay attention to him, looking at his leather shoes, he lit a cigarette, leaned back in the chair, and took a leisurely puff, which was full of smoke.

"Don't pretend to be deep, by the way, I've done what you told me!" Zhang Daming said suddenly.

"Oh, really?" Chen Xuanting came to the spirit, it turned out that he wrote the outline of the scripts of two more plays, but he didn't have time to create, so he handed it over to Zhang Daming to complete.

Zhang Daming took out the two sets of scripts and said: "This is all my hard work, of course, I wrote it according to your ideas, and I don't know if you are satisfied?" ”

Chen Xuanting ignored him, and directly opened the two sets of scripts, only to see that one was "The Ninth Five" and the other was "Golden Branch Desire"!

You must know that in the previous life, these two dramas were two big dramas with high ratings on TVB. Among them, "The Respect of the Ninety-Five" tells the story of the male protagonist Yongzheng who was assassinated by Lu Siniang, but because of the "waterspout", he traveled through time and space to modern Hong Kong, and then fought wits and courage in a big family. This drama received a lot of praise that year, especially the actor Jiang Hua of this drama won the "My Favorite TV Role" at the Thousands of Stars Award Ceremony, reaching another peak in his film and television career.

As for the other "Golden Branches", it is even more remarkable, this court drama with a sense of realism has recreated the glory of Hong Kong TVB. On the night of the finale, a rating of 41 points was achieved, setting a record for the broadcast of the finale on the weekend after Hong Kong's return to the motherland, and the average rating also reached 40 points. Many Hong Kong viewers believe that this is the best TV drama of Hong Kong TVB in recent years, and it has attracted TV stations from all over Southeast Asia to broadcast it. When it was broadcast in the mainland, the ratings were also very hot, and it became popular all the way, setting off a boom of "Golden Branch".

It is based on the above reasons that Chen Xuanting will spend energy and time to write an outline of the story in a short period of time, and then let Zhang Daming write the script.

After reading it carefully, Chen Xuanting said, "Well, it's not badly written!" ”

Zhang Daming: "......"

I was stunned for a long time, "That's it?" ”

Chen Xuanting looked at him: "Then what else do you want?" ”

Zhang Daming: "You don't want to give a material reward, but also praise a few words verbally!" ”

Chen Xuanting smiled slightly: "Then if I promised you that you would soon be able to become a formal director, what would you think?" ”

"Huh?!" Zhang Daming was stunned, "You, are you kidding?" ”

Chen Xuanting smiled, "I never joke!" Then shoot these two scenes, "Choose one, which one do you want to shoot?" ”

Zhang Daming: "Hehe, don't be funny, you're not a producer!" ”

Chen Xuanting is colorful: "If you don't choose, it's your loss!" ”

Zhang Daming hurriedly said: "The Ninth Five-Year Honor"! ”

Chen Xuanting nodded: "You still know your catties, indeed, "Golden Branches Desire" is not suitable for you, you need a big-name director to direct!" ”

Zhang Daming didn't have time to listen to him, "You mean, are these true?" ”

The corners of Chen Xuanting's mouth curled, "What do you say?" "My eyes fell on those two scripts, and my eyes burned.

……………………

After more than half a month of hard work, the carefully created "Step by Step" by wireless was finally completed.

At this moment, in the viewing room of the wireless creation department, Li Zhaotai is watching the sample of this TV series with Xiao Sheng, Liang Jiashu, Xiao Fengming and others.

Li Zhaotai sucked a cigar in his mouth, squinting his eyes from time to time, his slightly hunched back giving a heavy sense of negative pressure.

Xiao Sheng, who has always been known as the gold medal producer of costume dramas, also widened his eyes, looked at the sample film intently, and praised the various costumes and various sets in the play.

As for Liang Jiashu and Xiao Fengming, they stopped at the shooting angle and plot structure of this drama. The two glanced at each other from time to time, as if they were surprised that this was the first play directed by Chen Xuanting. Because from the perspective of technique and layout, this is definitely not something that a novice can do.

Compared with the attitude of Li Zhaotai and others, as the director of this play, Chen Xuanting seems very calm.

It seems that success or failure does not have much impact on him, but those who are careful will pay a little attention to it, Chen Xuanting is less of the usual indifferent action of scratching his eyebrows with his tail finger, but smoking a cigarette, revealing a trace of indescribable calmness. What does this mean? shows that he actually attaches great importance to the success or failure of this play, but it is not revealed on the surface.

In a moment, the whole sample film was screened.

Li Zhaotai motioned for someone to open it, spit out a cigar, and asked, "Brother Sheng, what do you think?" ”

Xiao Sheng smiled: "I can only use four words to evaluate ----- extraordinary!" ”

"Oh, is it? Is it that good? ”

"It's not good, it's good, it's exquisite! ~" Xiao Sheng added, "The most important thing about the quality of a play, in addition to the script, is to achieve the ultimate in details, and Ah Ting just did this!" ”

Li Zhaotai laughed, "Don't praise him, he's still a young man!" It's a newbie! ”

At this time, Liang Jiashu spoke, "We believe in novices, but others don't believe it!" As soon as I watched the sample film just now, Feng Ming and I had the biggest feeling -----that we are really old, and the new generation of Jiangshan will replace the old people! ”

"Hahaha!" Li Zhaotai laughed. looked at Chen Xuanting and said, "Did you hear it, everyone is praising you!" ”

"I'm ashamed, that's because everyone loves me too much!" Chen Xuanting said modestly.

"Hehe, you're always so calm and light, you seem to be more calm than me! Ah Ting, sometimes young people should be more high-spirited! Li Zhaotai patted Chen Xuanting on the shoulder and said.

Chen Xuanting smiled and said nothing.

Li Zhaotai suddenly said: "Okay, I am a person with clear rewards and punishments, if your drama is really popular, I will give you two big gifts!" And these two great gifts are kept to your satisfaction! ”

Xiao Sheng looked at Liang Jiashu, and each other seemed to have guessed something, after all, the last time Chen Xuanting helped Li to insert into the personnel department, there was no reward, could it be that this time Mr. Li was going to ......

This young man is really going to soar to the sky!

……………

That night, the much-anticipated costume drama "Step by Step" was officially launched in prime time.

At this exciting moment, almost all the mainstream media in Hong Kong focused their cameras on the play.

The reason is very simple, first, this is an unprecedented cross-palace fighting drama!

Second, the three leading actors of this drama are famous, Andy Lau, Liming and Li Jiaxin! Almost everyone has endless gossip!

Third, this is the masterpiece of a new director who is highly praised by Wireless, it depends on whether he can seize this opportunity and become an instant hit!

At eight o'clock in the prime time that night, in anticipation, "Step by Step" was officially launched!

At around eight o'clock that night, Chen Xuanting went out in civilian clothes to inquire about the ratings of this drama.

In Hong Kong, if you want to know whether a drama is good or not, it's naïve to sit at home and wait for the ratings report. Because the numbers can only reflect one aspect of the situation, that is, how many people have watched the play, but not what people think of the play.

Of course, Chen Xuanting understands this, so he came out alone for a "private interview with Weifu", hoping to get first-hand information.

The area with the highest concentration of residential buildings in Hong Kong is the Yau Ma Tei area, which used to be a concentrated area of apartments, and the most common areas are public markets and electrical appliance shops. People like to go shopping in the mall and watch TV shows on TV at the same time.

A young man and woman are watching a commercial for "Step by Step".

Girl: "This drama seems to be very good, why don't we go back and watch it quickly!" ”

Boy: "Okay, I like Li Jiaxin so much!" ”

Girl: "What do you mean?" ”

Boy: "You don't watch this drama for Andy Lau and Liming?" ”

Girl: "......"

Boy: "Stop staring, can't you go back?" ”

Girl: "What do you say?" ---- hurry up! ”

…………………

An elderly couple.

Old man: "I can't watch the current TV series at all, what is this, how can modern people go back to ancient times?!" Fool around! ”

Grandma: "This is innovation!" Isn't there still a movie with a time tunnel in the past? ”

Old man: "I think it's nonsense, you can't watch this kind of drama!" ”

Grandma: "Then let's go to the mall, I have a fancy for a dress!" ”

Old man: "...... I've thought about it, let's go back to watching TV---- at least it doesn't cost anything to watch TV! ”

Grandma despised it: "Lonely cold guy! I don't know how I married you back then! ”

The old man smiled and hugged Grandma's arm: "It's all old husbands and wives, why are you still talking about this, ---- go, let's go back and cross over!" ”

………

Watching a couple of men and women talking about the series "Step by Step", Chen Xuanting couldn't help but wonder, although the word of mouth has not yet come out, the popularity seems to be quite enough.

Just when Chen Xuanting was about to leave this department store, he suddenly found that a long-haired woman wearing sunglasses not far away seemed to look very familiar, could it be her?!

Chen Xuanting couldn't help but be surprised.
