Chapter Twenty-Three: Zhuo Wei is here
In May, he entered Shanghai with brisk steps.
The weather was much hotter, less of the previous drizzle, and more of a sudden downpour.
Fortunately, "Love Hotel" is mainly indoor shots, and the ever-changing weather in Shanghai did not affect the filming of the crew.
At noon on this day, Li Shengyao was still sitting in the conference room of the Jin Jiang Hotel, which had almost become his private lounge.
Yan Danchen was full of spring love, glared at Li Shengyao fiercely with a red face, and then tidied up his clothes, put on stockings, and was about to leave.
"Open the window, the room smells."
"Dog man, drive it yourself."
"Turn it on, let you be on it at night."
"Phew."
Yan Danchen shook his head disdainfully, but he still went to open the window honestly.
She then left the conference room, and Li Shengyao took out his notebook, and was about to review the morning's shooting, when someone knocked on the door.
Li Sanfa came in, he wrinkled his nose, "Hucheng is damp, and there is always a musty smell." ”
Li Shengyao smiled, "What's the matter?" ”
"There's a reporter coming over and wanting to interview you, are you going to be interviewed?"
He is a little-known director, and a reporter came to interview him.
Eighty percent heard that he was only twenty years old, came to see the jokes, and went back to write an article "You can be a director at the age of twenty, and the internal entertainment is so absurd".
"What's the journalist's name?"
"I didn't ask, he said that his pen name is Zhuowei."
Zhuo Wei?
Could it be the first paparazzi in domestic entertainment later?
Li Shengyao became interested, and when he visited the entertainment forum in his previous life, he knew something about Zhuo Wei.
This person's original name was Han Bingjiang, and the name was very good, Zhuo Wei is one of his pen names, he has many pen names, and Zhuo Wei is the most popular.
In January 20000, he joined Tsujo's Mainichi Shimbun, a program that tracks and reports on entertainment stars.
Although Zhuo Wei is twenty-nine years old this year, he is still a newcomer in the entertainment industry.
Li Shengyao is not afraid of Zhuowei, if someone can help him hype "Love Hotel", he will say thank you.
"Let him in."
Soon after, he met Zhuowei, and sure enough, it was the Zhuowei he knew.
He is about thirty years old, with small eyes, a big face, and a pair of glasses, and he looks quite sven.
"Xiao Zhuo, you want to interview me?"
Zhuo Wei didn't expect Li Shengyao to call him Xiao Zhuo, and his face suddenly darkened a lot.
At present, "Huanzhu Gege" is on the air, and there is a eunuch named Xiao Zhuozi in it.
He felt that Lee Shengyao was reflecting something.
However, he is already twenty-nine years old, and he has been in society for several years.
Moreover, he has just entered the entertainment industry, and the "Daily News" he joined claims to track and report news within 12 hours in real time.
He was very excited at first and felt that he could show what he could do.
However, he has just started, there is no news channel at all, every time there is some exciting news, he runs over, the star has left early, and he is not even qualified to eat ashes.
I have been in Shanghai for three months, and no news has been reported.
Recently, I was wandering around, and I happened to hear that there was a TV drama crew filming here at Jin Jiang Hotel, and it looked decent, but the director was too young.
When he inquired later, the director was only twenty years old and graduated from high school.
He immediately thought of a breaking point, he guessed that this director was definitely a rich second generation, or a male pet raised by the gold owner.
That's big news.
So he came over, hoping to show his face in front of his colleagues and leaders this time.
Li Shengyao is tall and handsome, with a heroic spirit that ordinary young people do not have.
He thinks it may be a male pet, or it may be a second generation.
"Yes, director, do you have time?"
Li Shengyao raised his hand and looked at his watch, it was almost half an hour, "You have half an hour." ”
It's as good as how awesome you are.
Zhuo Wei complained in his heart, then sat down, took out the voice recorder, and notebook.
"What is the director's profession and how old is it?"
Li Shengyao smiled and answered truthfully.
"What does the director do at home?"
"In an ordinary family, my dad is a teacher, and my mom runs a small clinic."
Zhuo Wei pouted, "Has the director learned the relevant shooting knowledge?" ”
Li Shengyao nodded, "Basically, I have read all the books related to the director's photography. ”
"The director is really talented, and he can be so good at self-study."
"Okay, I'm quite talented at this."
Hearing Li Shengyao comment on himself like this, Zhuo Wei's heart was about to pop out, and an emotion called excitement rippled in his chest, and he couldn't wait to go back immediately and write an article attacking internal entertainment.
"How much is the investment in this new drama?"
"At present, it is a total of 1.6 million, and there may be additional ones in the future."
"It's convenient to ask, which film and television company invested?"
"Daifuku Film and Television Company."
Zhuo Wei was stunned for a moment, he hadn't heard of this film and television company.
Li Shengyao then explained: "This is a film and television company in Yanjing, and the owner of the company is called Li Dafu."
Li Tai Fook?
The name of the good soil.
Li Dafu's surname is Li, and Li Shengyao is also surnamed Li, and they must be relatives.
Go back and check it out.
The smile on the corner of Zhuo Wei's mouth couldn't be hidden.
Although this little director is not famous, it does not prevent him from taking advantage of it and criticizing the status quo of the entertainment industry.
"What kind of story is Love Hotel?"
"It's mainly love, it's an idol drama."
Idol dramas, there are people in the mainland who make idol dramas?
Zhuo Wei felt that the world was about to turn a new chapter, and several titles immediately came to his mind, "The rookie director doesn't know the height of the sky, and he actually shoots idol dramas", "The rookie director is so ambitious, learning to shoot idol dramas on the peninsula", "The idol drama produced by Daifuku Film and Television Company, is it a township love".
His writing hands were trembling a little.
Idol dramas such as "Dream of Stars" and "Blue Life and Death Love" have become popular in the mainland, and he feels that this little director has taken a fancy to this.
"Director, why do you want to make idol dramas?"
"There happened to be such a story, so I wrote it and filmed it."
"You wrote it yourself?"
Twenty-year-old director, screenwriter, this young man is really crazy.
Zhuo Wei had already expected that "Love Hotel" would hit the streets, and in the end, there was not even a TV series to buy, so he couldn't suppress his laughter and laughed.
"What are you laughing at?"
"It's nothing, it's nothing, I just think the director is talented, I admire it."
He is thick-skinned, and he comes when he lies.
The little eyes rolled, and then said: "Director, how many ratings do you think this show can have?"
"The average rating is at least two points."
It is very normal for CCTV dramas to have two points in ratings, but there are very few local satellite TV stations that can pass two points.
It is impossible for CCTV to buy such an idol drama to broadcast, only local satellite TV will broadcast "Love Hotel".
How can such a blind drama pass two points.
Thinking of this, Zhuo Wei felt less excitement and more sympathy.
He felt that Li Shengyao was a layman who didn't know anything, and he had a little money at home, so he came out to mess around.
But if he doesn't break the news, others will also break it.
This world is so cruel.
Young man, let me guide you into the profession and tell you the truth about the world.
