On the afternoon of June 24th, in an office building in the magic capital.

The crew of "My First Love Diary" gathered in the conference room on the 17th floor, watching the 24-hour playback record that the video website had just sent them, and cheered in unison with excitement.

"The number of views exceeded 30 million in 24 hours!!"

With this scream, each of the eight people in the room raised a glass of iced Coke, and eight hands of eight people, fat or thin, black or white, came together and "snapped" to touch the glass.

Even the sound of the glass colliding was filled with joy.

Just four hours ago, "My First Love Diary" was updated for episodes 15 and 16, and the numbers reached a new high, reaching a staggering 35 million views, which is the trend of the year's fire drama.

And this drama is 52 episodes long, and there is still a long way to go.

Where this drama can go in the future is quite exciting.

One of the young men looked at the data on the computer screen and asked a little nervously, "How about the data of "I Want to See You"?" ”

As soon as this person finished asking, he quickly asked himself and replied: "Well, 7.62 million in 24 hours, their data is much better than a few days ago...... But we're still far from it. ”

Next to him, a young man with a chestnut back frowned slightly, waved his hand and said, "Don't always talk about "I Want to See You". ”

"This drama is a niche boutique route, and it is not the same type as us."

"It's boring to say that."

After he said this, several people next to him glanced at each other, each shrugged their shoulders, and no one squeaked.

The man with the big back is named Sun Dezhi, and he is the director and producer of "My First Love Diary".

A while ago, he mocked Xu Zhen in a talk show that he had no eyes, which caused a lot of trouble for the crew;

But since Langya Pavilion took over the publicity project of their crew, this guy suddenly changed his face again and became Xu Zhen's defender, which made the rest of the people very despised.

Sun Dezhi is 28 years old and is not a professional director.

He majored in luxury appreciation in college, and the reason for studying this major is that there are many luxury goods at home that he needs to appreciate, cough ......

This guy is actually a "professional" loser.

The reason why Sun Dezhi wants to make a TV series is not to seek fame or profit, just to prove to his parents and friends that he is not a wasted person who has achieved nothing.

Many people think that he spent money desperately to buy publicity for TV series because he had a bag in his brain, but he didn't.

For other crews to promote, they have to calculate the cost performance, and if you spend a penny, you must earn back two cents, and the money is worth it.

And the algorithm of Sun Dezhi's account is different from others:

What he thinks about is that if he spends a penny, the popularity of the TV series can increase by a point, and in his opinion, it will be worth it.

So he played with his life.

So much so that there was a big oolong made of krypton krypton to the opponent's head.

Fortunately, Langya Pavilion was atmospheric enough, and took the initiative to release goodwill to them through this publicity business.

The two companies don't know each other if they don't fight, and the oolong incident has become a good story.

Of course, Sun Dezhi also has friends around him to sow discord, saying that Langya Pavilion simply looks at the money he gives and wants to make money from a fool like him.

Sun Dezhi scoffed at this.

- Who is Xu Zhen?

Would people care about this little money?

At the beginning, Sun Dezhi took the script of "My First Love Diary" to invite Xu Zhen to participate, and begged each other hard, and he could open the salary casually, and the market price could be doubled, and people didn't even talk about it;

The world's top luxury watch was thrown on Xu Zhen's desk, and people didn't look at it.

Tens of millions of salaries are not eye-catching, will they look at the hundreds of thousands of publicity expenses?

Don't be funny.

If Xu Zhen is greedy for money, there is no one in this world who is not greedy for money.

Through these two contacts, Sun Dezhi couldn't help but be in awe of Xu Zhen, and at the same time felt extremely guilty for his unscrupulous words before.

People can get to this position today, and they do have a very comparable mind and courage.

I happened to be free in the past two days, and Sun Dezhi also wanted to apologize to the other party in person, so as to continue to cooperate in the future.

It just so happened that several variety shows were looking for actors from the crew of "My First Love Diary" to participate recently, and Sun Dezhi also wanted to pull Xu Zhen and them together to do a promotion and maintain their friendship.

……

At 9 o'clock in the evening, a room of young people in the conference room was excited, and no one wanted to go back to sleep, so they simply turned on the TV.

The screenwriter opened the video playback software with a smile and said, "It's rare that everyone is here today, why don't we watch two episodes of "First Love"?" ”

After he said this, the heroine of this drama immediately refused with a red face: "Don't don't, don't watch it together!" ”

Immediately, the male protagonist in the play also nodded in agreement, and said with an embarrassed face: "Yes, how embarrassing!" ”

"Hahaha......" The others in the room burst out laughing.

The heroes and heroines in the play are sitting here, and a room full of creators are watching them fall in love, which is indeed a bit of a social death.

At this time, director Sun Dezhi thought about it, picked up the remote control at hand, and said, "Then, let's watch "I Want to See You" together?" ”

Hearing his proposal, several people looked at each other and agreed.

Although the broadcast data of "I Want to See You" is not as good as its own crew, the reputation is very good, and as soon as it was broadcast, the score of Tofu Network was as high as 8.2 points, which is undoubtedly the biggest competitor in online dramas in the same period.

has nothing to do, they also want to see what kind of quality each other's drama is, so that they can straighten their waists to evaluate each other.

While speaking, director Sun Dezhi called up the resources of this drama from the Internet and watched it from the beginning.

Since there were no outsiders in the house, these people had no shelter and complained casually about what they thought.

"The beginning is very old-fashioned, the boy is dead, and the woman is here to reminisce about the past, and it is not attractive at all."

"It is said that it is the configuration of the emperor, but what kind of acting skills do idol dramas want, and no one will play the same."

"Xu Zhen can't see his acting skills, isn't this just his true colors"

"Oh, crossing, crossing is not unusual."

“……”

While watching, these people are judging with a critical eye, and they are discussing crookedly.

After watching it for a while, the more Sun Dezhi looked, the more confident he became in himself.

He understands why the broadcast data of "I Want to See You" is not as good as his own TV series.

The main thing is that it is worse than the setting of the male protagonist.

- The role played by Xu Zhen is too "down-to-earth" and too ordinary, and there is no heart-warming charm.

Whether it is the heroine's boyfriend Wang Quansheng 20 years ago, or Li Ziwei, a boy who traveled back 20 years ago and looked exactly like her boyfriend, they are all very typical ordinary people who can be seen everywhere, and they are as real as living around them.

There is nothing dramatic about it other than being handsome.

How can such a person make the audience feel excited?

Take a look at this ordinary plot setting: Chen Yunru, played by He Jiayan, didn't catch the school bus and was walking on the side of the road, and the actor and his death dangdang passed by on a motorcycle and drove her to school;

As a result, the three were caught by the director of instruction for driving a motor vehicle illegally, and they were punished for copying the student code in the classroom......

Oh my God, this is also called an idol drama?

This is the diary of a high school student!

"Oh, isn't this Chen Yunru? How did she get with the boys in the second class? ”

Just as the three of them were copying the rules in the classroom, a few students next to them passed by the corridor, saw the situation in the room, and immediately stopped, and pointed at Chen Yunru with great interest.

Several of the girls jokingly laughed: "No wonder people usually ignore us, it turns out that we have boyfriends." ”

"Hehe, how can Chen Yunru have the kung fu to take care of us, they can't just serve their two boyfriends!"

“……”

All kinds of yin and yang strange words continued to come down the cracks in the window and into the classroom.

Inside the house, Chen Yunru, who was copying a manual, was so ridiculed that she couldn't raise her head, holding the pen in her hand, not daring to look out the window.

"Oh, it's really unexpected, I usually pretend to be a good girl, but in fact, I secretly ......"

"Dang Chang Chang!!"

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the classroom.

Li Ziwei, played by Xu Zhen, kicked the iron table in the front row, startling the group of idle onlookers outside.

The commotion outside the house stopped abruptly.

Li Ziwei threw down his pen and walked straight to the window.

He held the glass with one hand, tilted his head, stared at the girl who used bad words with cold eyes, and said, "What did you just say?" ”

"Again, I didn't hear you."

Seeing his big reaction, the girl's arrogance suddenly extinguished, and she took two steps back timidly, intending to slip away.

However, before she could move her steps, she heard Li Ziwei in the room shouting angrily: "I'll let you say it again!" ”

The girl was so frightened by him that she screamed "ah" and ran away quickly like a frightened bird.

Suddenly, the people who were waiting to see the joke scattered and walked away quickly.

And at this time, behind him.

Chen Yunru, who had just been poked and scolded in the back, turned around and secretly peeked at the back of the young man behind her, her eyes stunned.

She wanted to look, but she didn't dare to look, squinting timidly, as if looking at a light.

……

This moment, in front of the TV screen.

Sun Dezhi, who was originally watching the drama with a judgment mood, suddenly stopped eating melon seeds.

He followed Chen Yunru's perspective and looked at the thin and straight back by the window, only to feel his heart tremble slightly.

At this moment, Sun Dezhi clearly felt Chen Yunru's mood in the play.

——Real story background, delicate emotional expression.

Isn't such a male protagonist attractive?

No, of course there is.

And the more realistic the background, the greater the emotional impact of the story on the audience, and the more immersive it is.

With such a mood, Sun Dezhi continued to watch the follow-up plot of "I Want to See You", and was gradually impressed by the fireworks in the story.

He suddenly felt a strong sense of frustration, as if other people's plots were sweet fruits picked from trees, and his own TV series was artificial saccharin that became more and more tired the more he ate.

At the beginning, there were people in the conference room who complained about the plot of "I Want to See You", and from the second half of the first episode, gradually no one squeaked.

Everyone just looked down quietly, with no intention of stopping at all.

Looking at it, everyone gradually understood: why did Xu Zhen play this drama.

Li Ziwei, a 17-year-old boy, is sunny, cheerful, righteous, grinning, and slightly "white-eyed".

And when the story came to the second half of the fourth episode, the audience saw Wang Quansheng, a young man who was completely different from Li Ziwei: cowardly, inferior, sensitive and delicate in his heart, and did not have the slightest courage to resist in the face of bullying by others.

Xu Zhen's performance made it easy for the audience to distinguish that these were two people.

When "Wang Quansheng" was rescued ashore after jumping into the sea, he only used a unique sitting posture, tilting his head to pour water, and his eyes after raising his head, and clearly told everyone: The soul in this body has become Li Ziwei.

The possession-like acting makes this time-traveling story seem like it's real.

In the conference room, the acting director of "My First Love Diary" even took out his laptop directly and recorded the details used by Xu Zhen to create the characters.

Textbook-level Liren!

How to play the difference between two characters in a short period of time requires clear action details!

But that's not all.

In addition to one person playing two roles, the state of the role of "Li Ziwei" has also gone through many stages.

carefree from youth; to the gradual composure when encountering great changes and living as "Wang Quansheng"; and then to the tragic experience after the crossing ended and Li Ziwei returned to his body......

Each stage is significantly different.

And the further you go, the thicker the role becomes, and the more difficult it is to perform.

In just a few episodes of the plot, everyone in the conference room seemed to watch Li Ziwei grow up little by little in front of their eyes, the edges and corners were smoothed, the sharp energy was scattered, and the half-life experience made him full of holes and bruises.

"Alas......"

Seeing this, the actor of "My First Love Diary" couldn't help but sigh and sighed: "Fairy acting." ”

"How do you have to grind this to play the character to this role?"

"Xu Zhen has been acting for more than ten years in only a few episodes, and I feel like I can watch time go before my eyes!"

When the acting director heard this, he smiled and said, "How many years has Xu Zhen acted, how many years have you acted?" ”

"Acting with a sense of age requires experience, you are still young, and there will be time to grind slowly in the future."

When the actor heard this, he was silent for a long time, and finally said: "I haven't counted how many years Xu Zhen has acted, but I know that he is younger than me." ”

Acting Director: "......"

Topic, over.

……

Silence soon returned to the room.

It was already late at this time, but no one in the room mentioned that they were leaving, and they were all concentrating on watching the follow-up plot.

At this time, the screenwriter had already pulled out the big whiteboard in the conference room, combing the timeline while watching;

Director Sun Dezhi took out a small notebook and worked hard to write a book, and pulled the film while watching the drama;

The acting director held a laptop and moved the keys like flying, recording the details of Xu Zhen's performance, and exchanging experiences with his male and female protagonists by the way;

The music director tried to record the rhythm of the soundtrack of the show at first, but later looked at the staff list and found that the other party's music director was actually Zhou Ran, so he decisively gave up the treatment.

These people originally wanted to review this "not too popular" TV series and condescendingly criticize the reason why it is not popular.

As a result, it turned into a teaching activity.

As time went on, the learning atmosphere in the meeting room grew stronger.

At about 1 o'clock in the morning, Sun Dezhi's assistant went upstairs with a supper, pushed open the door, and found that everyone was neatly done in front of the TV like students in class, and they were extremely attentive.

The assistant glanced at the TV screen and found that everyone was watching "I Want to See You", only to feel that the atmosphere in front of him was very confused.

But he didn't care about that much, picked up a lunch box, handed it to Sun Dezhi, and said, "Brother Zhi, your raw frying." ”

At this time, a drop of grease leaked out of the lunch box and dripped onto the laptop on his lap.

"Ah——!!h

Sun Dezhi screamed and said, "My notes!! ”

Assistant:......??

I said, big brother, do you still take notes when you watch the drama of the right family?

Are you studying tactics against the enemy, or are you on a pilgrimage??
