Chapter 36: Cheers
Tonight Yanjing is much more lively than before, in a night snack stall next to the Yenching Film Academy, the boss is busy and his feet do not touch the ground.
A large round table in the corner sits around a group of young people.
This group of young people is none other than Li Shengyao.
He just received a call from Gusu Satellite TV, telling him that the ratings of the first two episodes would break two.
This is just the beginning, and the follow-up ratings will inevitably continue to rise, three points, four points are possible.
At this time, ordinary people have nothing to do after work, and the vast majority of people go home to watch TV.
A good drama doesn't have to worry about no ratings.
For example, the average rating of "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" is as high as 15%.
Li Shengyao doesn't expect "Love Hotel" to have 15 percent, Gusu Satellite TV is a second-rate local satellite TV.
If there are three points in the ratings, it is considered a success.
He then called Guo Xiaodong and asked them to come out to celebrate.
So the group of them came to the night food stall outside the Yenching Film Academy.
Zhao Yang, Guo Xiaodong, Liu Xiaoqing, Yan Danchen, as well as He Lin and Zu Feng all came over.
Guo Xiaodong also said that a few classmates wanted to come over and asked Li Shengyao if he would let him.
Lee refused.
Guo Xiaodong and their current session, except for the Nortel Three Musketeers, Yan Danchen, Guo Xiaodong, and Zu Feng are okay, they can play the leading role, but the others actually don't have the protagonist's face, at most they can play a supporting role.
Even if you play the leading role, you can't support the drama.
So the group of people they had met before got together.
"Here, cheers."
With the sound of wine glasses colliding, except for Li Shengyao drinking tea, everyone else drank, and the big guy was not surprised, no one said anything about him.
Zhao Yang is in the best mood, he lives at home these days, and his relationship with his family has eased a lot.
And tonight, his family watched "Love Hotel", although they didn't praise him in person, but his parents had smiles on their faces.
"Director, let me say a few words from the bottom of my heart, I must thank you, without you, I would still be in a daze in a rental house in Shanghai."
"In the future, as long as you say a word, I will definitely come over."
Li Shengyao nodded, "Okay, I see." ”
Zhao Yang then picked up the wine glass, poured himself three glasses of wine in a row, and drank them all.
Guo Xiaodong shouted, "Okay, happy." ”
Then Guo Xiaodong, Yan Danchen, and Liu Xiaoqing raised their glasses in turn to thank Li Shengyao.
all said that Li Shengyao had instructions in the future, and he would definitely do it.
Zu Feng on the side saw it, and was envious in his heart, and when everyone finished toasting, he came to Li Shengyao, "Director, I'm stupid, I didn't have vision before, but I will follow you in the future, and your company will be established, so I will follow you." ”
He was still a little hesitant before, worried that even if "Love Hotel" was of good quality, it might not be popular, but now it seems that this is obviously not the case.
He knows very well how difficult it is for a second-rate satellite TV like Gusu Satellite TV to break the second in the ratings, and it may be even higher in the future.
Li Shengyao will not worry about investment in at least the next two or three dramas.
If the later dramas can still have the level of "Love Hotel", it will definitely be popular.
Li Shengyao nodded, patted Zu Feng on the shoulder, and said in a low voice: "In two months, I will give you the script, it is a male number two, take advantage of it."
His script has actually been written a long time ago, and during the filming of "Love Hotel", he has already completed the scripts of "Funny Family" and "Winter Love Song".
Zhao Yang and Yan Danchen have already got the script, but his film and television company has not yet been established, and Zu Feng has not signed a contract yet.
He couldn't believe it, and planned to wait for Zu Feng to sign the contract before giving him the script.
When Zu Feng heard this, he bent over excitedly, "Thank you, director, thank you." ”
He Lin was envious on the side, but she was not a fool, and she knew that Li Shengyao was not interested in her, so she didn't say anything.
Guo Xiaodong asked, "Director, what should I do next?"
"You play the youngest son of "Funny Family" first, after acting in this drama, I have a Criminal Investigation Bureau, and when the time comes, I will give you the script, study it carefully, and it will definitely become your masterpiece."
He plans to finish filming "Winter Sonata" and then shoot "Signal".
As for "Stairway to Heaven", or idol dramas like "Full House of Romance", he should not shoot it in the future.
When the time comes, find a few reliable directors and let them shoot.
He wants to shoot some more difficult dramas, such as "Signal", such as "Da Chang Jin", "Please Answer Series".
As a director, he can't be stereotyped by idol dramas.
is going to make more and more compelling dramas.
When there are enough domestic theaters, he will enter the film industry and become a big man like Spielberg who is both a producer and a director.
If there is enough money by then, he will even have to build his own theater chain, so that he does not need to worry about being choked.
As for Hollywood, Lee Shengyao never expected the beautiful country to allow him to become a super director.
Those Chinese directors in Hollywood are all people who have completely integrated into the beautiful country.
He can't, his roots are in the mainland, let alone naturalization, he is not uncommon to get a beautiful green card.
Since the rise of Marvel movies in Hollywood, movies have become more and more ugly.
They procedurally made some superhero movies that were hilarious to watch, but they didn't actually really tell the story at all.
This is the reason why Hollywood movies did not sell well in China.
He is confident that he will become the banner of the domestic film and television industry against Hollywood in the future.
Of course, Lee Shengyao doesn't go to Hollywood to direct, he can still make Hollywood money.
After filming "Funny Family", it will be the Spring Festival, and Li Shengyao should be able to rest for about a month.
When he goes home, he will write scripts for classic movies such as "Inception", "Interstellar", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Kung Fu Panda" and so on.
Then go to the beautiful country to join the Screenwriters Guild and register the copyright.
In the future, whether he shoots it himself or sells it to the beautiful national film and television company, he can make a profit.
We're all young people,
Two hours later, everyone dispersed, Yan Danchen and He Lin drank a lot, and then went back to He Lin's rental room to rest together.
Li Shengyao went back to the hotel alone, he had just entered the elevator, and the sound of high-heeled shoes running behind him sounded.
A green figure rushed in.
"Hello Director Li, I am a student of Yenching Film Academy Class 97, my name is Haiqing."
Li Shengyao looked Haiqing up and down, the national daughter-in-law at this time was still a little immature, and her appearance was acceptable.
But Hai Qing is here with him, similar to Sun Li.
They weren't his thing, and he wasn't interested.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm an acting student, if there is a play, you can find me, I'm cheap, I can act in anything, I can do anything."
By the end, her voice rose slightly.
Li Shengyao smiled, "Okay." ”
Hai Qing then left the phone and waited for the elevator door to open and saw Li Shengyao return to the room before leaving.
Li Shengyao returned to his room, took a shower, and just as he was about to go to bed, there was another knock on the door, and when he opened the door, he saw a trademark large mouth.
It's a Nortel student again, and it's not good to live next to Yenching Film Academy.
If it's Penelope. With a big mouth like Cruz, he may really want to give it a try, but Yao Dazui still forgets it.
"You're looking for the wrong one."
Mr. Lee then closed the door.
The fame is still not enough, all the women who come are Yao Dazui, Haiqing's grade.
He shook his head, then turned off the lights and went to sleep.
On Friday, Guo Xiaodong and Zhao Yang will go to Jinling to shoot a variety show to promote "Love Hotel".
He just won't go.
The domestic broadcast rights of "Love Hotel", he can't make a lot of money, he has to wait in Yanjing, waiting for people from the bend, peninsula, and island countries to talk to him about the broadcast rights, so that his worth can skyrocket.
