Chapter 168: Test Piece

Accustomed to the cool autumn in Beiping, Jiang Xun got off the plane, and the heat wave in Yangcheng immediately rushed to his face, and his whole body was wet and dry, and he felt a little uncomfortable breathing, so he quickly found a bathroom nearby, and when he came out again, he was already dressed in summer.

"Jiang Xun"

Soon, in the crowd, he saw a sign with his name written on it, holding up a sign by a young man about his age.

"Neihou, Hou Gou teased Nei. (Hello, nice to meet you.) "Jiang Xun is very proficient in Cantonese.

"Neihou, Hugh Hou Yisi, shake Nei and wait for the left ridge. (Hello, sorry to keep you waiting so long, the car is outside.) )”

The sun outside the airport was dazzling and the sky was bright, but it was bustling with people and accents of all kinds, more of course, Cantonese.

The car quickly stopped in front of a restaurant, and director Huang Jialiang, screenwriter Kwong Jianren, Chen Yafang and other actors greeted him with a smile.

"Ah Xun drink some soup first." Huang Jialiang smiled and personally served Jiang Xun a bowl of soup, "Old fire and beautiful soup...... It's been a hard work. ”

People in eastern Guangdong love to make soup, and they also love to drink soup, and they want to drink soup before eating, Jiang Xun tasted it, and immediately gave a thumbs up, the meat is rotten and the soup is mellow, and it is not greasy at all, it is very delicious.

As the saying goes, born in Suzhou, grew up in Hangzhou, lived in Guangzhou, and died in Liuzhou, the food in Guangzhou is simply not too delicious.

"Sha Jiang Zhanjiang chicken," Kuang Jianren didn't eat much, and introduced with a smile, "It's only delicious when dipped in sand ginger juice, and you may not be used to it at first." ”

But Comrade Jiang Xun is not unaccustomed to it, he is very used to it!

The brine platter, full of flavor, deep well roast goose, golden red in color, crispy skin and tender meat, plump and not greasy, with plum sauce, the taste is even better!

He sandwiched a piece of honey barbecued pork, and felt that a lot of dry goods had been stuffed in his stomach, so he smiled and said, "As a Cantonese person, don't be too happy, eat too well." ”

Huang Jialiang and Kuang Jianren glanced at each other with a smile, "Then we can get down to business, the following schedule is arranged like this, today's premiere, three days later, that is, on November 1, our public relations lady will officially meet with the majority of TV audiences." ”

Premiere?

In the 80s, there was a good tradition in the domestic film and television industry, and after the directors finished shooting a new film, they would often take the work to the university campus for trial screening and discussion to listen to the opinions of college students.

For example, Zhang Yimou's "Red Sorghum", Bai Shen's "Falling Mountain Wind", and Teng Wenji's "The Ballad of the Yellow River" have all tested the water on college campuses before going abroad to compete, and some TV series such as "Siege" directed by Huang Shuqin have also been tested at Fudan University.

"Saren Gaowa will only arrive the day after tomorrow, exactly twenty-four episodes, and it can be broadcast in three days." Director Huang Jialiang poured Jiang Xun a glass of beer.

"At which university did you test the film?" Jiang Xun asked.

"Jinan University, Jinan University." "There are a lot of overseas Chinese here, and there are also many students from Hong Kong, Macao and overseas.

Oh, Hong Kong......

Jiang Xun knew that the location of the test film was placed here instead of CUHK, and director Huang Jialiang and Kwong Jianren had considerations.

Do they want to use mainland TV dramas to try the tastes of Hong Kong students?

He glanced at Huang Jialiang, maybe the pressure was too great, and his temples were already dotted. Alas, Guangdong and Hong Kong TV people have always competed on the invisible battlefield, but Guangdong TV has never tried the taste of victory.

This TV series carries too many expectations of Guangdong TV.

Now, either the south wind overpowers the north wind, or the north wind overpowers the south wind!

"Director, I have confidence in this drama." Jiang Xun raised his glass, "I wish the test film success!" ”

Director Huang Jialiang and Kwong Jianren also raised their wine glasses, and the two looked at each other with sadness on their faces.

They didn't mention it to Jiang Xun that the advertising of this drama was not smooth.

In the past, when RTHK's programs attracted the attention of Cantonese people, not only did the people of Guangdong TV feel gloomy, but even the merchants were not interested in the programs of Guangdong TV.

It is said that "Four Worlds in the Same Hall", which was a national hit at that time, was broadcast on Guangdong TV with almost no advertising.

The filming cost of Miss Public Relations' TV series is 25,000 yuan per episode, and the total cost adds up to 600,000 yuan, but now the station receives less than 40,000 yuan in advertising fees.

Count it up, Taili is going to lose money, lose a lot of money!

Watching Jiang Xun go to the bathroom, Kuang Jianren whispered, "Do you want Ah Xun to talk to Blue Island Beer and make another advertise......ment?"

Huang Jialiang smiled bitterly, he is also very familiar with Blue Island Beer, Blue Island Beer has placed a lot of advertisements in Taiwan this year, besides, "Ah Xun is an actor, can't help......" He breathed a sigh of relief, "Advertising is the responsibility of the advertising department, we can't manage it, we just have to do our ......"

Jiang Xun came back soon, and Huang Jialiang said with a smile, "The tape has been sent this morning, you have been out to play in the past two days, just tell me if you need anything." ”

……

In this era when there is no Internet, not even CD-ROMs, the medium of communication for film and television works is videotape.

In the Pearl River Film Studio, this morning, the black box of the public relations lady, which was a full 24 videotapes, a heavy bag, was sent by Guangdong TV to the Youth League Committee of Jinan University.

Director Huang Jialiang also repeatedly advised: Please don't expect too much, and ask students to give more valuable opinions......

Jiang Xun also went to the Zhuying Factory this afternoon, Zuo Ling is the actor here, coming out of the Zhuying Studio, he walked aimlessly on the streets of Guangzhou, suddenly, he waved his hand to stop a taxi, "Excuse me, go to Jinan University." ”

Although it is a famous overseas Chinese school, the gate of Jinan University is very simple, and Jinan Park, although it has gone through many years, is in its prime.

Teaching buildings, libraries, office buildings, auditoriums...... Jiang Xun walked among the young students, his steps were flying, and he was very brisk.

"Classmate, please ask, where is the electronic classroom?" Jiang Xun walked around, but didn't find a poster or announcement about Miss Public Relations' test film, and this TV series was broadcast silently?

"You're talking about the audio-visual education center, which is on the second floor of the teaching building." A male classmate hurriedly replied and hurried by.

Oh, Jiang Xun looked at the little white building in front of him, and could only turn back.

Walking into the teaching building, I went up to the second floor, and found two rooms with electronic classroom signs, the doors were not closed, and the sound inside could be vaguely heard.

Jiang Xun looked over and saw that a girl with short hair was talking to a male classmate and a female classmate.

"Classmate, is the TV series Miss Public Relations playing here?"

Several classmates turned around, and the short-haired girl smiled, "You're well-informed enough, the tape just got back, and our notice hasn't been posted yet." ”

Oh, on a piece of pink tissue paper, the ink is not dry.

"You're the first to come, either you'll wait here for a while, or you'll come back later," said the short-haired girl, cheerfully, "you two are here."

Here, I'm going to take a look at the ballroom dancing contest and post the notice by the way. ”

"We also want to see ballroom dancing competitions." The female student winked at the male classmate, but the male classmate had a serious face.

"It's the final after tomorrow, so you guys should stay here first." The short-haired girl said that she had already picked up tissue paper, brushes, and paste, the paper was too thin, as if it would be broken when she pulled it, Jiang Xun hurriedly stepped forward to help.

The short-haired girl smiled, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth, and Jiang Xun suddenly felt that she looked very much like Yuki Uchida when she was young.

"Do you like to watch mainland TV dramas?" A refreshing boy, a handsome face, and a gentleman, the short-haired girl has a good impression of Jiang Xun.

"What about you?" Jiang Xun took the paste and brush in her hand.

"I," the short-haired girl smiled, "I like to watch Hong Kong dramas, you see, now my classmates don't watch non-Hong Kong dramas, and non-Hong Kong stars don't chase them." The pace of mainland dramas is too slow, the performances are not very natural, they are always in tune, the soundtrack is not very good, and the credits will always take up a long time......"

Jiang Xun wanted to chat, but the short-haired girl said so much at once, he didn't know what to say......

However, think about it, this is really a common problem in mainland dramas.

"There are so many students from Hong Kong and Macau in our school, and they don't dare to watch local TV dramas,...... Well, you don't go to see ballroom dancing competitions? The short-haired girl was very enthusiastic and warmly invited, "This is the first international standard ballroom dance competition of our Jinan University, and all departments and classes have participated, and now, who still watches TV series!" ”
