Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Taipei, night.
In the fourth section of Zhongxiao East Road, there is a house covering a wide area, with red tile brick walls, tall trees, and a seven-story building inside.
The name of the house is Keyuan, and it is also Qiong Yao's home and office.
"Sleeve Qiong, go and call Zhongwei over, it's time to start."
In the huge living room, Qiong Yao sat on the sand and greeted her daughter-in-law, next to her husband Ping Xintao.
He Sleeveqiong held a cup of tea, put it in front of her, and said with a smile: "He can read a book, and when he hears the voice, he will come over." ”
Qiong Yao's real name is Chen Zhe, and her son's name is Chen Zhongwei, because she divorced her ex-husband, her son took her surname. Chen Zhongwei's work is also to participate in the filming and production of Qiong Yao's drama, but compared to He Zhiqiong, he can be said to be very, very low-key.
At eight o'clock, the neurotic "Dang" of the power train began to invade the TV sets of many families in Taipei.
Why is it said to be neurotic?
Your high-pitched "Oh Oh Oh ......" screamed at the beginning, it is easy for people to misunderstand that it is followed by a more atmospheric and high-pitched burning song, but it is particularly sharp and plummeting, and it instantly becomes tender and fresh, and the mountains are edgeless and the earth does not rotate......
What kind of bullshit rhythm is this?
The nature of Huanzhu Gege's drama is actually a project outsourced by Grandma Qiong Yao to Mango Channel. Just to take advantage of the cheap labor and geographical resources in the mainland, the initial idea was to focus on the Taiwan market, but no one expected that it would become so popular in the big 6.
Of course, later, Mango TV relied on the audience foundation laid by Huanzhu, and insisted on taking the two trump card routes of variety shows and drafts, and finally succeeded in ascending to the position and became the most awesome local station in China in one fell swoop.
And Qiong Yao, before "Love is Deep and Rainy", she and her TV series were still a myth. After this drama, this myth began to slowly shatter. It wasn't until later, when grandma was blown up by the rising star Yu Ma, that people suddenly realized that Qiong Yao's era had left them for a long time.
From the start of filming to the completion of the drama, Qiong Yao felt that he had never been so worried, it was easy to wait until the filming was over, and then he personally stared at it after the post-production, and then hurriedly took it to the authorities for trial.
At first, it was not very ideal, because there were too many big 6 actors in it, and it was approved as a big 6 drama by the Taiwan authorities, and it was necessary to submit it for review episode by episode to see if there was any discordant content in it, and the ink was terrible.
It took a long time to finally complete the procedure. He Zhiqiong and Taiwan's China Television agreed that on April 28, "Huanzhu Gege" began to be broadcast at eight o'clock, with two episodes per night.
"What were yesterday's ratings?" After looking at it for a while, Qiong Yao suddenly asked.
She not only watches this drama, but also watches every drama she plays. She is a literati, but she is also a businessman, Qiong Yao's drama has been prosperous for decades, relying not only on the foundation of her works, but also on her constant understanding of the audience's aesthetic taste.
It's a pity that later, it was still abandoned by the times.
He Sleeveqiong opened his mouth and replied: "There were 13 yesterday, so there was an average of 12 in the first three days." ”
Qiong Yao nodded and said with a smile: "It's not bad, it's a little higher than expected, and it is estimated that it will be stable at this level." ”
Huanzhu's ratings in Taiwan are not as high as expected, with an average of only 12.1o%, and Huanzhu 2 is only 13.68%. Compared with the highest point of 65% of Big 6 TV Station, it is scum.
However, Wanwan's population base is small, and grandpas and grandmothers prefer to watch those long-form Min ethical dramas, so it is very good to achieve such results.
Don't ignore the influence of Huanzhu according to its ratings, most of the people who like to watch it are young people, when their audience grows up, they are catching up with "The Legend of Zhen Huan" to become popular all over Taiwan, and China Television took out Huanzhu to replay it as a cushion, and the two dramas are actually fighting together, and the durability of Huanzhu can be seen.
"By the way, how are the talks going on in the mainland?" Qiong Yao asked again.
He Sleeveqiong shrugged his shoulders, showed a smile of unknown meaning, and said, "Ouyang wants to introduce it exclusively, so ......"
Qiong Yao also smiled and didn't speak again, just picked up the cup steadily and took a sip of tea.
…………
"Ahem...... Ahem! ”
In another part of Taipei, Ms. Lin is recuperating in her small apartment.
The room was small, a bit like a Japanese-style one-bedroom layout, with a single bed and a small coffee table in front of the bed and a blanket underneath. There are no chairs, so you sit on a blanket and a TV in front of you.
The curtains were drawn, and the lights were not too bright, barely reflecting a little turbid light in a trance.
Lin Xinru was wearing cotton pajamas that she would only wear in winter, poured a glass of water with difficulty, and then grabbed a pinch of medicine on the coffee table, squeezed out two grains from each board, and was too lazy to eat separately, so she threw them all into her mouth. Then he took a big sip of water, as if he was deliberately choking on himself, and coughed and swallowed hard.
"Ahem!"
The weather was not cold at all, but she still shivered into the bed, looked at the time, and pressed the remote control.
She knows her own business, it is not a real illness, but the energy that she has been holding in her heart suddenly leaks, and then her whole body falls apart.
Huanzhu is more than just a TV series for her. For a few years after her debut, she has been spinning in place, disheartened, and even has plans to give up acting, and Huanzhu is the last driftwood she caught.
Acting in Qiong Yao's drama is not popular? Then you better wash and sleep!
Therefore, no matter how hard it was during filming, even if she got off the scene at one o'clock in the morning and returned to the hotel, she had to get up and go to the set three hours later; Even if she was scolded by the makeup artist, "No matter how you are, you can't become Lin Qingxia"; Even if she made Qiong Yao reluctantly agree to her playing Ziwei at the last minute...... She survived all of this.
After returning to Taipei, Lin Xinru did not become easy. In the past few months, the company has only given her a small supporting role in one drama, and her attitude has not changed in the slightest because of her filming, which makes her feel frightened.
It wasn't until a few days ago, when Huanzhu started broadcasting, that He Zhiqiong made a special call to tell her about the ratings of the first two episodes, and she was a little rejuvenated, and then she was worried that the ratings would plummet the next day.
After six episodes aired, family and friends kept calling to congratulate them, and the news of the series' hit was seen on TV and in the newspapers almost every day. Lin Xinru's love finally stabilized, and her mood was relaxed, and the grievances and depression of the past year all exploded at once, and the small body could no longer stand it, so she fell ill.
"I don't have to be recognized on the street, and then I was dragged to sign a group photo."
She thought bitterly.
"Four, five, six! Four, five, six! ”
On TV, Xiaoyanzi was taking the palace maid and eunuch to gamble, threw a handful of dice into a big blue and white bowl, and shouted noisily.
Seeing Zhao Wei staring at the two big eyes where he was playing treasure, Lin Xinru laughed a few times with a pale face. Although she is sick now, she is in a very happy mood, and she is completely looking at it with a stress-free attitude.
What's more, this is indeed a TV series that can make people happy.
She was lying on the bed with her head on her side, staring at the TV, her eyes were quite focused at first, but then she slowly lost her mind, and her head was full of interesting stories and sadness during the shooting.
After a while, Li Yijun's ending song sounded, and she came back to her senses and moved her sore neck.
Xu was because of taking the medicine, this time she only felt that her eyes were heavy and wanted to sleep, she touched the remote control and was about to press it, but suddenly a thought flashed in her mind, and she slowly let go of her hand.
Huanzhu's success, in addition to the fact that Xiaoyanzi, the appearance and personality of the two hundred and five protagonists, are very pleasing, is that Qiong Yao has created a new model of idol dramas. The four leading actors are obviously divided into two purposes, one group is responsible for comics, and the other group is responsible for sensationalism, which expands the audience as much as possible, and they are all hit by the cool point.
These cool points seem to be very ** now, but at that time, they definitely tickled the audience.
There are old-fashioned princes and deflated girls, there are dog-blooded mountains and boundless heaven and earth, there are grassroots confrontations against authority with slapping faces, and the immortal aura of the protagonist who likes to see, and of course, the most important thing, the power of Yan!
It can be said that Huanzhu's first qiē, Xiaoyanzi's fifth elder brother, Ziwei Erkang, including the emperor and queen Rong Mama, are all serving these cool points. Their style is unified, the template is fixed, and each performs its own duties, and it is precisely these that make Taiwan's young people, especially students, want to stop.
Then, it was time for the wacky eighth episode.
Erkang Ziwei returned to the compound with a carriage of condolences and saw Liu Qing.
Liu Qing's trick basically doesn't have any sense of zài, and the audience doesn't feel anything special. Even in the previous rivalry with Er Kang, the jerky roaring technique was very awkward, and at first glance, I knew that it was a rookie, and the skill proficiency had not been raised.
Under this premise, Taiwan's little pot friends saw a very strange scene.
Liu Qing leaned on the stake, wrapped her arms around her, and looked at Ziwei like that.
Ziwei called out tremblingly: "Liu Qing......" and then tears fell down like beads with broken threads.
With only these two words, Liu Qing understood Ziwei, Ziwei also understood Liu Qing, and the audience understood the two of them even more, but they just felt weird.
It's very incongruous in the background of the whole story, but you can still see it, and what's even weirder is that it's just enough to see it, but it still feels a little pleasing to the eye.
This one shot, slow, and quiet.
It was like in a noisy and annoying spring night, two people met in the breeze, and then, as if the wind had stopped, as if time stood still, as if Liu Qing's eyes were calm with a deep spring, as if Ziwei's soft call contained thousands of soft threads.
Falling in love with someone, or liking a character, is often in such a moment.
For example, how many people don't know whether it is because Sun Xing likes Yang Xiao, or because Yang Xiao likes Sun Xing.
Also at this moment, in Taipei, how many people don't know if it's because of this look that they like Liu Qing, or because Liu Qing likes this look.
Until many years later, they will never forget this moment, which is as unforgettable as the first time they held hands, the first time they fell out of love, and the first time they fought.
Lin Xinru looked at that look stupidly, and she was also stupid when she heard her own soft call. She never knew that she could act like this, not just to exaggerate, not just to shed tears, not just to shout. It's so natural, it just comes out of nowhere.
She couldn't help but glance at the coffee table, and under the pinch of medicine, there was a stack of newspapers, and the top was an entertainment page about the pearl return in the past few days. At the bottom, there is still a page exposed, which is a newspaper from a long time ago, at least more than two months ago.
There is a picture on it with two people inside. The one in front of him was holding two trophies and surrounded by a circle of microphones, with a cautious expression that hid joy.
The one in the back, who seemed to be hiding in the corner on purpose, with a smile in his eyes, was slow and quiet, unlike the hurried and nervous man in front.
…………
Fan Xiaoye said strangely: "Hey, why don't you write about Zhu Gege, how can you be popular?" ”
Chu Qing wondered: "Didn't I write it?" ”
"How could you write that! Dry who likes to watch? ”
"How do you write that?"
"I'll teach you!" Fan Xiaoye was interested, and said with his fingers: "You have to pinch someone first, the name is arbitrary, anyway, when you hear it, it's the kind of passer-by." Then he is either a white-collar worker or a student, he is so bored every day, he is bored to death, and he has a few friends who are bored together. And then all of a sudden, they saw the show, and then they were like seeing the gods, and they became the diehard balabala of the protagonists......"
Chu Qing wiped his sweat and said, "I'm sorry, I really can't write." ”
"And what will you write?"
"That's the kind of one above."
“…… Alright, you deserve it! ”
