Chapter 267
In China, you can say that Zhao Benshan is vulgar, and he can say that he is not good at acting, but you can't doubt his popularity and influence. Once you pass Shanhaiguan, you will look for Zhao Benshan, which is really not just a blowjob.
The TV series "Liu Laogen" directed by Zhao Benshan is of very good quality. In addition to Liu Laogen, it also created many classic characters, such as Yaozi, Dingli, Big Chili, etc. Each character is very distinctive and has a lot of comedy burden. In terms of quality, it is higher than the popular "Country Love Series" later. Therefore, after being broadcast on CCTV, "Liu Laogen" became popular all over the country and became the second-ranked ratings in 2002.
Now that the sequel of "Liu Laogen" has made a comeback, there is naturally no doubt about the popularity. However, many people did not expect that "Liu Laogen" will cause this big impact on "Before Dawn". "Liu Laogen" is a rural comedy, and "Before Dawn" is a spy war drama. The two dramas are completely incompatible, so there should be no conflict!
In fact, the problem lies in the playback platform. Both Peking TV and CCTV are in Peking, and the main audiences overlap. Similar to the Spring Festival Gala, the two main audiences are in the northern region, while the southern audience is relatively few. Now CCTV has a particularly popular drama, and the audiences of "Before Dawn" are diverted. If the broadcast platform of "Before Dawn" is Mango TV or Lizhi TV, the situation will definitely be better.
The next day, the ratings of "Liu Laogen 2" continued to soar, successfully reaching the top with a rating of 6.3; while the ratings of "Before Dawn" fell to 6.2, ranking second.
It has to be said that the combination of Zhao Benshan and CCTV is indeed too powerful. Many people believe that the ratings of "Liu Laogen 2" are only a matter of time before dawn, but no one expected it to be so fast. It took only two days to drive "Befor dawn" off the throne of the champion.
As for the decline in the ratings of "Before Dawn", many people expected it. Although "Before Dawn" is still good, the pace is much slower than the opening, and the plot in the past two days has also become a bit dull.
Zhang Ran is not worried about the performance of "Before Dawn". The structure of the entire drama of "Before Dawn" is designed according to the structure of the movie. According to the structure of Hollywood movies, there will be a very important plot point halfway through the movie, called the midpoint, and the story will have a major turning point here. Then the situation will take a sharp turn.
The midpoint of "Before Dawn" is 16 episodes, and this midpoint is that Dong Qiankun, an important member of the sailor, was arrested. After that, Tan Zhongshu successfully broke through Dong Qiankun, the sailor organization was quickly defeated, and almost all the sailor members were sacrificed. Even the heroine died. The rhythm of the second half of the whole play will quickly accelerate, and the story will become more and more tragic!
The ratings of the third day were soon released, with 6.5 before Dawn; 6.8 for "Liu Laogen 2"; and 6.9 for "Yu Guanyin".
Although the ratings of "Before Dawn" are recovering, the increase is really small, and the gap with "Liu Laogen 2" is widening!
According to the current state of "Before Dawn", don't say that it's difficult to break 10, even break 8. Many people are lamenting that it's a pity to be broadcast on Peking TV. If it were on Mango TV, it would definitely not be the result.
The crew of "Before Dawn" has been doing promotional activities, accepting interviews from the website, and on TV programs; and that afternoon, Zhang Ran brought several crew members to the recording site of "Lu Yu Youyou".
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the studio was crowded with people, and the directors were nervously doing preparations. The audiences who came today were far more than the scheduled number. Many viewers sat cross-legged and waited for the program to start recording with excitement.
Since I learned that the guests were Zhang Ran, Chen Daoming, Chen Baoguo and others, the tickets for this issue of "Lu Yu Youyou" have become popular. The original free tickets have been copied by the scalpers for 500 yuan. Even at such a price, it is still hard to get a ticket!
Chen Daoming rarely appears on variety shows, and it was Zhang Ran's credit for participating in "Lu Yu You Appointment" this time. Zhang Ran told him that the audience of "Lu Yu You Appointment" is relatively young, and the value orientation of young people determines the value orientation of the entire society in the future. Our play is about faith. If it can attract more young audiences, it can have a positive impact and promote positive energy. Chen Daoming is a person with a very social responsibility and thinks this makes sense. He agreed.
Amid the applause of everyone, the voice of the host Lu Yu sounded: "There is a drama that has been very popular recently, and I am also watching it. This is "Before Dawn". Today, the starring and director of this drama also came to the scene. Let us applause. Directors Zhang Jiandong, Zhang Ran. Actors Chen Daoming, Chen Baoguo, Zhang Jiayi, and Zuo Xiaoqing!"
"Zhang Ran! Zhang Ran! Zhang Ran!"
When Zhang Ran walked onto the stage, many fans in the audience shouted in unison, and the entire studio was filled with screams of fans. The staff at the scene were very surprised. They knew that Zhang Ran would be very popular, but they didn't expect it to be so popular.
Amid the audience's applause and cheers, Zhang Ran and the others greeted Lu Yu and the audience: "Hello everyone! Lu Yu, hello! I am a loyal audience of "Lu Yu You Appointment" and I am very happy to visit the show."
"Thank you, please sit down." Lu Yu and Zhang Ran shook hands, and then asked them to sit down on the sofa in the center of the stage.
"Thank you!" Zhang Ran and others sat down one after another.
Lu Yu looked at Zhang Ran with interest. This was the first time that such a young and handsome director: "Zhang Ran, how did you think of writing this story? The theme of spy war is an old theme, which is considered outdated by many people. In recent years, there are few scenes with this theme on the screen."
Zhang Ran smiled and explained, "How to say it? When I was a child, I liked watching spy war dramas, such as "The Secret Whistle in Yangcheng" and "Hero and Tiger Gallant". Later, I studied movies abroad and watched many American dramas and movies. I thought that the techniques of American dramas could be completely transplanted into spy war dramas, so I conceived this story. I believe that the theme of spy war dramas will not be outdated, but what is really outdated is the technique of telling stories!"
"I heard that you were unwilling to participate in this drama at first, but why did you want to join the crew later?" Lu Yu asked with a smile. Film directors are generally unwilling to film TV series. Before Dawn, Zhang Ran's "Prisoner of Time" is quite popular, and it is surprising that he went to film TV series.
Zhang Ran explained: "The TV series will take several months and it will be filmed in Hengdian. I am a teacher and I will take a group of students with me. I can't leave the students alone. But later I felt that taking students to the crew to study may be more effective than studying in school, so I agreed to join the crew!"
"You are really a very responsible teacher!" Lu Yu sighed. Everyone knows that Zhang Ran not only brought students to the crew to study, but also took them to the Daomo City for survival training at their own expense. Now many schools are organizing students to undergo survival training in other places. "I heard that at first you thought that Teacher Chen Daoming could not play the role of Liu Xinjie. Is it true?"
Zhang Ran quickly shook his hand and denied: "Who did you hear?"
Lu Yu did not let Zhang Ran go so easily and asked: "Don't refuse to admit it, I'll report it!"
Zhang Ran knew that he couldn't escape, so he glanced at Chen Daoming and nodded, "It's not that he can't act by Teacher Chen. It's because he doesn't fit him. In fact, I don't think he should be allowed to act now."
There was a burst of exclamations at the scene. Zhang Ran was too brave. He dared to say such words. Chen Daoming is not easy to mess with. Later generations of rumors that Erkang, who was very popular, was banned because he offended Chen Daoming and never recovered from now on. In this circle, not many people really offended him.
Chen Daoming looked at Zhang Ran with a smile and filmed a scene with Zhang Ran for several months. He knew Zhang Ran too well and knew that Zhang Ran was definitely not a nonsense person, so he would definitely have something to say later.
Lu Yu was a little surprised. Zhang Ran was not so bad, so he asked carefully: "Why?"
Zhang Ran sighed and said, "Liu Xinjie is a wise, loyal, loyal, and persistent man. Such a man is impeccable. Teacher Chen Daoming's performance adds elegance and charm. In this way, he has raised the standard of a perfect man a lot, which is definitely the ideal in women's hearts. Now someone is scolding me on the Internet, Zhang Ran, you damn it. Now girls are looking for men like Liu Xinjie. Aren't you cheating people?"
There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and Chen Daoming laughed so hard that he fell back and forth.
Lu Yu threw the topic to Chen Daoming and said, "Teacher Chen. Just as Zhang Ran said, the character Liu Xinjie is very popular. Everyone likes this character and thinks it is very charming. How do you understand this character?"
Chen Daoming smiled and said, "Liu Xinjie is a real actor. He will act in an environment that does not belong to him. He will have to act for many years. And he is different from us actors. If we don't act well, it may be denied by the audience and may be criticized. But if Liu Xinjie doesn't act well, it means the end of his life. Therefore, he must suppress his emotions, bury his true self very deeply, and have also felt lost. He is relying on an inability to destroy his faith to support him. Our drama is about faith!"
Lu Yu asked again: "Zhang Ran is so young, do you have any concerns about working with him?"
Chen Daoming said: "At first, I was a little skeptical and thought it might be a bit unreliable. But with Zhang Jiandong here, I had nothing to worry about. But after Zhang Ran joined the group, he communicated with us and held a discussion meeting. I haven't seen such a hot discussion meeting for a long time, and the competition was red. He is really very excellent. In addition to his professional knowledge and skills, his excellence is more due to his rigorous art. Everyone says I am harsh and have strict requirements on many things, but Zhang Ran is even stricter than me! During the entire shooting period, he basically only slept for three or four hours a day. I have seen such a director, and that is Zhang Yimou!"
When the audience on stage heard this, they were amazed. They did not expect Chen Daoming to have such a high evaluation of Zhang Ran, and they did not expect Zhang Ran to work so hard.
Lu Yu looked at Zhang Jiayi and asked, "Zhang Jiayi, do you think Zhang Ran is a very strict director?"
Zhang Jiayi nodded and said, "It's indeed strict. Just as Teacher Chen said, he is stricter to himself. However, director Zhang Ran is different from many other directors. He directs actors very professional. From the highest task to the continuous action, to the character's psychology, the subtext will analyze you clearly. More importantly, he can discover your shortcomings as an actor. The gains from filming with him are really great!"
Lu Yu asked again: "Teacher Chen Daoming is also a very strict person. What does it feel like to work with him?"
Zhang Jiayi said: "My teacher Chen and I were filming on the first day. We had a meeting on site. We had a long meeting. He was too serious and was meticulous in every detail. The drama was very rigorous. I was very nervous. The first thing I said to Teacher Chen was that I was very nervous when I acted with you!" At this point, Zhang Jiayi paused and imitated Chen Daoming's tone and said: "Teacher Chen said to me, don't be nervous, what's nervous, relaxed, relaxed!"
