High-sounding words were spoken on stage, and the audience applauded enthusiastically.

However, this is not a meeting, Director Xiao said about five minutes, and then began to announce the order of the performance.

"The first program is the chorus performed by the Youth Art Troupe. Now I invite all the members of the art troupe to prepare for the rehearsal on stage. ”

This is all expected, routine operation.

"The second program, solo singing, Xu Wenhao ,......"

"Wow!"

An exclamation erupted in the studio, interrupting Director Xiao's words.

said that it was the second show, but it was actually the opening, which was the same as the penultimate show finale, and they were the two best names among the artists of the party to have some honors. Unexpectedly, the National Day Gala, which is second only to the Spring Festival Gala, handed over such an important task as the opening to Xu Wenhao.

Although Xu Wenhao has become popular recently, he is only on the first line, not to mention other veteran first-line singers, that is, Lin Tianwang, Yang Tianhou, and Sun Tianhou's status and prestige are all ranked in front of him. It's one thing to respect his creative ability, it's another thing to rank his seniority.

Director Xiao glanced at the audience and continued, "The assistant actors are 36 students from the No. 3 Primary School in Beijing. However, because today is the first rehearsal, they were not invited to participate, so they will use their spare time to complete this task and show up at the second rehearsal on the 28th. ”

Director Xiao paused, and seeing that many people were still puzzled, he finally explained: "The songs are all good and of great significance, so after discussion by the program production team, they were placed in the second program." ”

"Oh~~"

Everyone understands this, just like at the National Day Gala, you must sing songs of positive energy, and if you are above other songs, there is no problem in ranking second.

"The third program ......" Director Xiao continued to read the order of appearance in his hand unhurriedly.

Lin Tianwang and Sun Chengmei are both in the prime time of the first point, and Yangmei is the finale, and the last show is also a chorus, with all the stars singing together.

There are 22 programs in the whole National Day Gala, which lasts for three hours and is expected to end at 11 o'clock.

At the beginning of the rehearsal, many artists did not listen carefully to the already familiar ones, but took out their mobile phones to play.

After a while, a whisper sounded in the studio. Because it was only the first rehearsal, there were no costumes and makeup, and the discipline was not so tight, as long as it did not affect the rehearsal on stage.

"What's wrong with these people? Suddenly, like a bee coming out of the nest. Sun Chengmei, who was chatting with Yangmei in a low voice, looked up.

At this time, after a vacant seat, Lin Tianwang shook his mobile phone and said in a low voice: "Look at the scarf." ”

Of course, this vacant seat belongs to Xu Wenhao, who has already gone to the stage to prepare for the second rehearsal.

Yangmei and Sun Chengmei both took out their mobile phones and put them into the scarf, and when they saw it, they were happy.

The first topic of the scarf is: "Xu Wenhao wrote, directed and acted in Huaxia TV's first drama of the year." ”

"Hehe, this funny kid can act in a drama? And it's also the director, it's really the sun coming out of the west. Sun Chengmei smiled.

Even Yang Mei was a little unconvinced, so she turned around with her mobile phone and asked Wang Wanan: "Xiao Wang, is this true?" ”

Wang Wanan nodded: "Yes, the above news is true, the TV series is called, with an investment of 200-3 million per episode, the script written by the mouse, he insists on being the director, and the protagonist is also him." ”

"There is no one else who has the speed of this crossover." Lin Tianwang said with a smile next to him, "I was an anchor before August, and I was a singer before September, but now I have become an actor + director again." ”

"The quality of the drama jointly produced by the General Administration and Huaxia TV is definitely not bad, and I have a little expectation for those who have never watched the drama." Sun Chengmei said.

Yang Mei looked at Xu Wenhao in front of her, and her eyes gradually blurred: My love, I don't know how talented you are in the film and television industry?

"The red sun is rising, and its way is bright; The river flows out of the subterranean flow, and the ocean is poured out; The hidden dragon soars into the abyss, and the scales and claws are flying; The milk tiger roars in the valley, and the beasts are terrified. ”

Looking at the mobile phone and chatting, they were suddenly attracted by this clean and powerful voice, and they all looked up, only to find that Xu Wenhao's solo had begun rehearsal.

This lyrics...... Magnificent!

The studio fell silent for a moment.

"A teenager has his own youthful madness, and his body is like a mountain and a river! Dare to measure the sun and the moon again, I am the only boy today! ”

Hearing Xu Wenhao's high-pitched and passionate chorus, almost everyone was shaken up, and goosebumps popped up.

"Obey ......" Lin Tianwang stared at Xu Wenhao on the stage, muttering to himself.

At this moment, no one questioned how Xu Wenhao could take over the glory of the opening!

Sun Chengmei was excited, and suddenly felt a pain in her arm, it turned out that Yangmei was pinching her.

"Tap." Sun Chengmei reprimanded.

"Xiao Xu is so talented!" Yangmei's face turned red with excitement.

"Cut, isn't that why you're with him?" Sun Chengmei despised it, but today in her heart, there was a surprising feeling of loneliness.

When Xu Wenhao finished singing, the scene rang out with thunderous applause. When he stepped off the stage and passed by Director Xiao, Director Xiao said with a smile: "Teacher Xu, it's hard work." ”

In the era of big entertainment, TV stations are all giants, and the directors, producers, producers and other high-level personnel in them are all powerful guys. What's more, Xiao Zhiqiang is also the director of Huaxia TV Station in charge of the National Day Gala, and he really didn't take the initiative to greet a star.

"No hard work, no hard work." Xu Wenhao hurriedly responded politely.

Back in her seat, Yang Mei restrained her urge to kiss, and shook hands with Xu Wenhao to congratulate Lin Tianwang, Sun Chengmei, and some nearby first-line singers.

"Xiao Xu, this is inspired by Mr. Liang Qichao's essay, right?" Yang Mei asked, but the little hand was secretly tied with Xu Wenhao.

"Well, there's the narration, which basically means that." Xu Wenhao nodded.

"This song is really well written, and it is estimated to be the best song of the National Day Gala." Sun Chengmei sighed on the side.

"Why, I think it's pretty powerful." Xu Wenhao said with a smile.

"Shameless, it's all your song." Sun Chengmei pushed Xu Wenhao.

The three of them laughed and played, time passed quickly, and the first rehearsal was over.

Lin Tianwang pulled Xu Wenhao and didn't let go, he must invite him to dinner, and then including Yangmei, Sun Chengmei and his party, went to a private restaurant.

During this period, Xu Wenhao received a message from Tan Qingqing. She had already finished class and asked Xu Wenhao when he would pick her up.

Xu Wenhao hurriedly replied, saying that the party program team wanted to invite everyone to get together, and it might be late today.

Tan Qingqing also understood, just call her after the party, and never bothered Xu Wenhao again.

The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, this time Xu Wenhao really promised Lin Tianwang a song, and then he got out.

Sun Chengmei's nanny car sent Xu Wenhao to the hotel, and when she saw Yangmei sitting still, Sun Chengmei was curious: "Xiaomei, why don't you follow?" ”

Yang Mei shook her head: "This hotel is a place prepared by Huaxia TV for the main creator, and there are many people." ”

"Hehe, you can really bear it, it's so thoughtful." There was no one else in the car, Sun Chengmei laughed generously.

"If Sister Meimei is merciful, she can let Xu Wenhao go to live at your house." Yang Mei smiled.

Sun Chengmei immediately became anxious: "Come less!" Last time I was at your house, you made me not sleep well all night! Go to another hotel to open a room! ”

Xu Wenhao moved, but Yang Mei took Sun Chengmei's hand and said: "The people in the capital are very vigilant, and it is too dangerous to enter and exit outside." Your house is a villa with three floors, how can it be noisy to you, you will fulfill us. ”

Sun Chengmei had no choice but to say, "Okay, okay, let's declare first, you sleep in the guest room on the first floor!" ”

"Meimei, you're the best!" Yangmei hugged Sun Chengmei and took a sip.

The nanny car turned around again and drove to the White Jade Garden in Chaoyue District. This community is full of small single-family villas, and the residents are mostly celebrities, and the privacy is very good. The house that Yangmei bought was also here before, but before moving to the city, it was already sold.

Xiao Bie is newlywed, and the madness of this night does not need to be detailed.

It was just a little episode in the middle of the night. There is no bathroom in the guest room, and after Yangmei was tossed and slept, Xu Wenhao felt sweaty and sticky, so he was ready to take a shower again.

As a result, when I came out in my underwear after taking a shower, I found that the light in this small hall was on. He was wondering, remembering that when he didn't turn on the light, Sun Chengmei walked out of the kitchen.

"Hmm~~" Seeing Xu Wenhao who was half-fruited, Sun Chengmei subconsciously wanted to scream, but fortunately, Xu Wenhao reacted quickly and was agile, and rushed up with an arrow step and covered Sun Chengmei's mouth.

"It's me!" Xu Wenhao reminded, and then let go.

Sun Chengmei nodded, first gasped for breath to calm down, and then said: "When I went downstairs, I just saw you enter the bathroom, and then I heard the sound of water, how can you blink and you finish taking a shower?" ”

"It only takes five minutes for a man to take a shower! Sister Meimei ......" Xu Wenhao's voice was stagnant, because he saw Sun Chengmei, who was only wearing a short gauze pajamas, with a beautiful scenery between the ups and downs of her chest, and she just looked at it for a while, and couldn't speak.

"What's wrong?" Sun Chengmei hadn't noticed yet, "What are you going to say?" ”

Xu Wenhao secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked away, and asked, "Sister Meimei, why haven't you slept yet?" ”

"I didn't eat enough at night, I couldn't sleep, and I guess you're done, so I'll come down and look for something to eat." Sun Chengmei replied.

Xu Wenhao smiled: "The university is a mathematics major, and the calculation is quite accurate." ”

"Cut, it's not Xiaomei yet, you always show off your superpowers with me, you can't finish it in three hours......" Sun Chengmei stopped talking as she spoke, feeling that it was too embarrassing to say such a thing in the case of Xu Wenhao's half-fruit.

However, thinking so, my eyes couldn't help but aim at a certain part, and then I was shocked.

At this time, she also remembered that she didn't seem to be wearing much, so she clasped her hands around her chest and said a little impatiently: "That, little brother, I'm down there, do you want to eat something?" ”

Xu Wenhao also felt a little hungry, and asked casually, "Is it delicious down there?" ”

......

Both of them remembered the brainwave game they had played when they were on the RM, and they fell silent for a moment.

"That, Sister Meimei, I suddenly want to sleep, good night." Xu Wenhao returned to the guest room very awkwardly.

Sun Chengmei looked at Xu Wenhao's back, and suddenly knew why Xu Wenhao's figure was so strange, "poof" laughed out loud, and then said to herself: "The charm of the old lady is not fake!" ”

On a new day, Xu Wenhao devoted himself to the casting. He was in a group with an assistant director, and Li Zheng was in a group with another assistant director, so the audition was very fast, and he finally selected all the remaining main roles.

But at this point, a small problem surfaced. Nearly 20 main actors, with an average height of 1.72 meters, that is to say, with Xu Wenhao's height of 1.75 meters, he can't stand out at all, and the camera sense will be much inferior. In the end, there was no way, Xu Wenhao had to increase the height of the insole, and forcibly dialed it up by three centimeters.

In the evening, the main creators had dinner together, discussed tomorrow's start-up matters, and went back to prepare.

Because everyone was going to attend the start-up ceremony together tomorrow, and Xu Wenhao was a little afraid of seeing Sun Chengmei, so he sent a message to Yangmei to explain the reason for not going over.

Yangmei couldn't come, but it was Tan Qingqing, who had just met the "delicious taste in the world", but secretly ran over at night. Anyway, no one knows her, and as long as the hotel doesn't leak the surveillance, it won't be discovered.

Early the next morning, Xu Wenhao didn't have time to send Tan Qingqing again, but after waking her up, he began to wash up and then went out. Together with the other main creative staff in the hotel, take the bus to the production center building of Huaxia TV.

At eight o'clock, the press conference. The conference hall, which can accommodate 200 people, is packed. Xu Wenhao sat in the center, with three signs in front of him, "starring", "director", and "screenwriter". Sitting on his left is producer Li Zheng, and on his right is a deputy director of the film and television department of Huaxia TV.

Because the play has a great impact, the invitees are all big media organizations, no one asks questions, and the reception is carried out in a straightforward manner. It wasn't until the end that a reporter asked a more radical question: "May I ask Director Xu, this is your first time starring in a TV series and your first time as a director, what kind of ratings do you think you can achieve?" ”

Xu Wenhao thought about the achievements in another parallel time and space in his mind, and then compared the background of the two time and space, Xu Wenhao said confidently: "The average offline rating is 4%, and the online viewing volume cannot be determined, but it accounts for at least more than 50% of the TV dramas in the same period." ”

"Wow!"

The audience was in an uproar.

4%!

So far in 2021, the highest-rated TV series is Huaxia One, with a total of 49 episodes and an average rating of 2.591%! This is already the seventh most watched TV series in the past decade.

And in this entire decade, there is only one TV series with an average rating of more than 4%. A large-scale urban emotional drama about the life and work of a doctor and a firefighter. At that time, in 2015, epidemics and floods broke out in many areas of southern China. Then this drama was released in 2016 and resonated with many people. With the cooperation of such special external factors, with a length of 30 episodes, it has achieved a rating of 4.012%.

And now, Xu Wenhao wants to break through 4% with a TV series that fights corruption and advocates integrity, which is undoubtedly a fantasy. In most people's inherent concepts, the plot of this kind of drama must be lofty, and there are no twists and turns. The protagonist and his companions must be righteous and selfless; The villain and his accomplices, all of them are insatiable and have serious facial makeup, and they can't arouse the audience's interest at all, and if they can break through 2.5%, it's a good drama.

However, it was impossible for these media to dismantle the stage on the spot, but congratulated and praised Xu Wenhao for his great ambition. Then the press conference ended, and the major media published this explosive news one after another, and soon this topic rushed to the top of the hot search around the neck.

"Xu Wenhao: The ratings will rush to 4%!"

There is a lot of mourning below, and many people are even more cynical, and even Xu Wenhao's fans are powerless to defend. A little harder, the comments posted are all similar to: "Do you know what it means to seek the best and the second?" Before you do something, shouldn't you set yourself a grand goal? "Such.

Xu Wenhao did not have the ups and downs of the accident, and now he has devoted himself to filming.

The first scene is a dialogue between Gao Yuliang and Qi Tongwei. Although the lines are very good, there is no conflict involved, there is no contradiction to emerge, it is relatively easy, and it is perfect for booting.

I saw Gao Yuliang sitting at the dinner table, holding a bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other, and said earnestly to Qi Tongwei beside him: "As long as you don't do bad things, no one can do bad things for you!" ”

At this time, Qi Tongwei's eyes did not have a hint of teaching, but were full of thoughts.

Gao Yuliang picked up the napkin, looked ahead with a somewhat blank look, and said while folding: "The current Zhengzhi ecological ...... in China"

After a pause, after wiping his mouth with paper, his eyes suddenly became a little sharp, and then he said: "It's the number one, almost with absolute power!" ”

Then he turned his head to look at Qi Tongwei again, his eyes changed again, and he became a little meaningful, including his tone: "The young man is too ambitious, and he is easy to fight." ”

"Over!"

Xu Wenhao stood up, and then applauded: "Teacher Zhang, Teacher Xu acted so well!" ”

These national-level actors, although the market economy effect is not strong, their acting skills are really perfect, and they are even better than the pictures in their minds.

The two actors thanked Xu Wenhao and began the next preparations.

This day, Xu Wenhao's shooting speed was extremely fast, and he never shot an extra shot for backup, which made Li Zheng a little unable to sit still, and during dinner, he pulled Xu Wenhao aside and raised this question.

"Xiao Xu, although the previous shots were indeed very good. But sometimes, from a different angle, maybe let the actor come one more time, and the effect will be completely different. Moreover, when editing in post-production, there is also one more choice. ”

Of course, Xu Wenhao can't say that he has a finished film in his head, and he has all the scripts and storyboards, so he smiled: "Brother Li, since we have done our best, there is no need to waste our time, money and actors' energy." I wrote the script, the whole picture was in my head, I was measured. ”

Li Zheng thought about it: Yes, this is what young and frivolous looks like, you can do it!

He also has the arrogance of a producer, so he no longer said anything to Xu Wenhao, turned around and went back to eat a boxed lunch.

At this time, many people didn't leave, because there was still a night scene to shoot today. is the most important beginning of the whole play, the duel between Hou Liangping and Zhao Dehan.

Everyone is not optimistic about Zhao Yi as an actor, because he is the only one who has his acting skills and pulled his hips during the audition.

Sure enough, when the investigators searched the house, Zhao Yi, who should have been munching on garlic and eating noodles in the light breeze, did not have that kind of look in his eyes, if it was a TV series, this could be ignored, but when he spoke directly: "Search? No, what do I have to search here? ”

What is shown is not confidence, but a bit domineering.

Before the two assistant directors could react, Xu Wenhao, who was acting, instead called a "card".

He called Zhao Yi aside and talked about the drama again.

But the second time it came, "You can't bully me, a flat-headed commoner, right?" ”

Zhao Yi acted a little flustered, and his speech was not strong, but a little external and internal. This is not at all, because it is necessary to create an atmosphere where Zhao Dehan was wronged and arouse the sympathy of the audience, but instead make the audience feel that Hou Liangping is using the privilege in his hands to be aggressive.

Xu Wenhao called "card" again.

"Director Xu, I'm sorry for your trouble, I usually play the kind of honest little citizen, and I show it unconsciously." Although Zhao Yi was about thirty years older than Xu Wenhao, his attitude was very respectful and he looked guilty.

Seeing that many people in the crew, including the two assistant directors, were whispering, as well as the displeased look of Li Zheng, the producer, Xu Wenhao knew that he couldn't drag it out any longer, and activated the "training actors" skill.

In this mode, Xu Wenhao once again analyzed the effect of the script, as well as Zhao Dehan's psychology and state. He didn't realize when, but Zhao Yi felt that his mind was extremely clear at the moment, every word and sentence Xu Wenhao said was engraved in his mind, and confidence began to emerge.

followed a series of shots of this plot, all at once. The whole crew was stupid. And the two assistant directors who wanted to find fault couldn't find any problems.

Li Zheng was directly stunned, looking dazed like a fool: Is Xu Wenhao really the first time to be a director? communicated with the actor twice, and Zhao Yi transformed into Zhao Dehan, from being wronged at the beginning, but looking upright, to shouting and crying with the most regret, it was really a good performance.

"Okay, that's all for today, continue tomorrow, everyone has worked hard." Xu Wenhao clapped his hands and said loudly, only to break the deathly silence of the studio.

"Director Xu, how did you do it?"

When packing up things, an assistant director couldn't help it, leaned over and asked, shouting "Director Xu" for the first time.

"It's to break all the details and tell Mr. Zhao again, and after all, he is an old actor who has been acting for twenty or thirty years, and it is normal for him to have an epiphany." Xu Wenhao explained.

"Yes...... That's too strong, isn't it? The assistant director scratched his head and left. He is also a seasoned director, although he has encountered ordinary actors' acting skills, but at most two or three shots are very tense, and after that, they will be obviously weaker. But this Zhao Yi is stable and powerful in the next 20 shots.
