Chapter 271: Being underestimated
In the hotel in Shanghai, Li Shengyao and Dong Xuan had just had a profound exchange.
He wanted to sleep, but he couldn't, got up and went to his desk, and then took out his notebook to write a movie script.
In order not to affect Dong Xuan's sleep, he didn't turn on the headlights, but turned on the table lamp.
Dong Xuan lay on the bed, reminisced for a long time, came back to his senses, and found that the people around him had already left, so he hurriedly looked over.
Seeing Li Shengyao sitting in front, she breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, the light of the table lamp was blocked by Li Shengyao, and it seemed that his back was extraordinarily thick.
He pauses occasionally, but most of the time he writes quickly, the ballpoint pen making a whirring and rubbing sound.
Except for drinking water, he basically doesn't look away, and focuses seriously.
Dong Xuan likes serious men, and Li Shengyao's state at this time even made her a little moved.
"Smack!"
She turned on the headlights, then sat up, turned on the TV, and watched TV with her voice down.
She planned to wait for Li Shengyao, and when he stopped writing, she would do it again.
At this moment, she switched to a local TV station in Shanghai, where an entertainment news was being broadcast.
"My Uncle" has completed post-production and has passed the review and is ready to play.
The heads of Xiangnan, Hucheng, Gusu, and Zhejiang Satellite TV participated in the viewing meeting, but in the end, Xiangnan, Hucheng, and Gusu did not bid, and Zhejiang Satellite TV won the first round of broadcast rights of the show at a price of 200,000 episodes and 5 million.
News analysis Although the ratings of Li Shengyao's previous TV dramas were very high, the overall atmosphere of this work is obviously too gloomy, and people watching it are very uncomfortable.
This made Gusu Satellite TV doubt for the first time whether the drama directed by Li Shengyao could get good ratings, so they stopped at the last moment.
In addition, the competition in this year's summer file is fierce, "Family with Children", "Detective Di Renjie", "Li Wei as an Official 2", "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", "The Sky of History", "Legend of the Spirit Mirror" and other new dramas have been broadcast, and in the end, they only won the bidding of Jiang Satellite TV and exclusively bought the first round of broadcast rights of "My Uncle".
The price of 200,000 episodes is still high in the mainland.
At the end of this news, I was wondering if Zhejiang Satellite TV could return to its original cost, and the high-level bought the show, which was more likely to show favor to Fenghua.
Dong Xuan saw it, couldn't help but look at Li Shengyao, and saw that he was still writing the script, thinking that he hadn't seen it, and was a little relieved.
She then switched to the station, and soon found that there were several TV stations that broadcast similar news, and there were many people who were not optimistic about the show.
She couldn't help but be a little angry, in her opinion, the dramas made by Li Shengyao before were all first-class.
If it weren't for the mainland's disbelief in romantic dramas, Li Shengyao would have won the best director a long time ago.
This "My Uncle" has not been played yet, and these people have made up their minds, which is very ridiculous.
This "My Uncle" also invited Liang Jiahui, Zhang Zhijian, He Zhengjun, although these people have average appeal, they are all powerful, which shows the quality of this drama.
She didn't think the newswriters were very knowledgeable.
In order not to affect Li Shengyao, she then turned off the TV, then got up and turned on the computer, she wanted to see what netizens thought.
Ten minutes later, Dong Xuan turned off the computer, which made her a little disappointed, although some fans said that no matter what Director Li filmed, they would watch it.
But more melon-eating netizens, they fell into the ground, saying that Li Shengyao's high ratings record was about to be interrupted, and this drama must be sad to have three points of ratings.
"It's a bunch of people who don't know much."
Netizens were not optimistic, so she was not interested, and then she went to bed, but thinking about it made her unable to sleep for a long time.
About an hour later, Li Shengyao turned off the lamp and climbed into bed.
"What are you doing spinning around, why don't you go to bed early? Waiting for me? ”
Dong Xuan shook her head, she didn't want to share bad information with Li Shengyao, so she didn't speak.
"Have you seen the news that sings about "My Uncle"?"
Li Shengyao is not deaf, he just heard the news, in fact, not only Dong Xuan, Yan Danchen before, but also Li Xiaolan called him before, and they all talked about it, and they wanted to comfort him.
He didn't take it to heart.
This script is meant to be award-winning, and the ratings don't matter.
"My Uncle" is indeed too sad, if the ratings are not good, it is actually quite normal.
Li Shengyao then touched it and rubbed it hard.
Dong Xuan happily cooperated, and seeing that Li Shengyao didn't care, he told the news just now, and finally said: "They are all blind."
can let Dong Xuan, who has always been gentle, talk like this, Li Shengyao thinks it's quite interesting.
"Don't worry, just be normal, there is no winning general, even if the ratings are not good, that's normal."
He then followed up.
An hour later, Dong Xuan fell asleep satisfied, and Li Shengyao hugged the beauty, but he didn't feel sleepy.
Although he told Dong Xuan not to worry, although he knew that the ratings of "My Uncle" might not be too high, although he had already told himself to be calm.
But at this time he was actually a little nervous.
This is his last TV series, and he naturally hopes for good results.
Not only can you win awards, but the ratings must also be passable.
It was 2018 when Al Jazeera was broadcasting, when smartphones were very popular, short videos had begun to develop, and TV ratings were getting lower and lower.
The average rating of "My Uncle" on the peninsula is six points, which is actually quite good, at the upper middle level.
This drama is indeed quite sad, the male and female protagonists are very bad, the other characters, the male protagonist's eldest brother and younger brother, and everyone in their community, almost everyone has their own sad things.
The male protagonist's wife cheated, and she was also very entangled.
It can be said that except for the villain, who seems to have no heart and lungs, he wants to engage women and do things.
The other characters have things they don't want to face.
But while life is in distress, the people in the male protagonist's community have a tenacious heart and look for light in the shadows.
This drama does look sad, but if you watch it, you can see a lot of upward things.
The birth rate of the peninsula in 2018 was only 0.7, and many young people at that time were unmarried and infragile, and they were completely rotten.
Even in the face of the sun, positive emotional expressions are not interesting.
However, the mainland in 2004 was different, the mainland was still in the midst of rapid development, and the overall atmosphere was upward and full of hope.
Everyone is naturally tired, but they will not be rotten.
In terms of social activism, the mainland in 2004 far exceeded the peninsula in 2018.
Li Shengyao analyzed that he felt that "My Uncle" was actually more suitable for mainland audiences, and mainland audiences were more likely to see the upward side of the show.
"Maybe the ratings will be better than expected."
Lee comforted himself, and then fell asleep, he had to go to bed early to prepare the script for his first movie.
