China Entertainment started from Nortel 96

Chapter 338 "Meteor Garden" premieres

February 2000, 2.

On this day, after Qi Wei learned about the filming situation of "Little Li Flying Knife", he left the crew again and flew back to the capital to promote tonight's "Meteor Garden".

It’s the new millennium, and Class 96 of the Nortel Performance Department is about to graduate.

Under normal circumstances, students who are about to graduate from the acting department have to prepare for their future. They either participate in interviews with candidates from various units to try to get admission, or they go to various crews to audition for roles. Some lucky ones among them will have already been favored by some crews and started filming. , anyway, there won’t be too many students staying in school at this time.

Of course, when graduation is about to come, everyone will rush back to school to prepare for the graduation drama.

But Nortel Class 96 is different.

Different from the traditional stage graduation drama for previous acting students, the wealthy Qi Wei invested a few million and invited the whole class to film a TV series "The Sky" as the graduation drama of Nortel Class 96 this year.

At present, the filming of this TV series has started, and it was shot on the Nortel campus, so almost all the students of Nortel 96 are in the school, except for Qi Wei and a few others who are filming outside.

The filming ended early today, and when everyone was preparing to pack up and leave, someone suddenly mentioned something.

"It seems that Qi Wei's new drama will be broadcast tonight!"

"Yes, "Meteor Garden" is a TV series starring Qi Wei and Gao Yuanyuan."

As soon as the words were spoken, He Lin pretended to say something wrong, covered his mouth and looked at Yan Danchen in fear.

Haha, just stop pretending.

Ordinary people would not be so discerning as to mention Gao Yuanyuan in front of Yan Danchen.

Especially among the students in the class who want to please Yan Danchen, Gao Yuanyuan is like a taboo.

But He Lin is different. During this period, Gao Yuanyuan will always be mentioned intentionally or unintentionally.

It was as if he wanted to deliberately make Yan Danchen unhappy.

Yan Danchen looked at He Lin and felt that she was a little different from before.

Sometimes I will deliberately compete secretly with myself.

When did you start feeling this way?

Yan Danchen began to reminisce.

Hmm. It seems to be after returning from the crew of "Da Ming Gong Ci".

"Ci of Daming Palace" is also a play starring Qi Wei.

Thinking back to the time when Qi Wei was still a freshman, He Lin also had a crush on Qi Wei.

It’s just that he didn’t take the initiative to pursue women and men like himself.

Otherwise, she is so beautiful, it’s hard to say who will win now.

Hard to do.
snort!That hateful guy is not a person who doesn't know how to say no!

If He Lin takes the initiative, it is really possible.

Yan Danchen suddenly understood.

Although he was a little angry, Yan Danchen had already developed his patience and would not have an attack at all.

Anyway, He Lin will definitely not be satisfied.

Yan Danchen looked at He Lin, smiled and said: "It's okay, she is just the scandal partner of my Qi Wei. Besides, this is just filming. He has so many scandal partners, and many of them are co-stars in filming. If I were jealous of all of them, If I were angry, I would have been pissed to death, it was just a joke, as long as he always puts me first, I don't need to care so much, you're right, He Lin."

Having said so much, it obviously means something.

He Lin also understood the meaning of Yan Danchen's words. She smiled and replied: "Danchen, you think clearly. No wonder Qi Wei loves you so much and gives you a movie alone."

"That's right, he dotes on me the most. Not only does "Savage Girl", he also helps me release records. By the way, do you know the drama "Infernal Affairs"?"

Yan Danchen's best friend Zhao Yali immediately interjected: "I know, I know, it's a new drama between Andy Lau and Tony Leung, and it seems to be filming soon."

"Yes, that's right. Let me tell you, I will participate in this drama and cooperate with them."

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately cast envious glances.

At this time in the Mainland, not only ordinary audiences, but also Mainland actors like Yan Danchen have a natural filter for movie stars in Hong Kong.

It will not only be an honor to work with them, but it will also be a great exposure, and it will also be beneficial to your acting career.

This is also the reason why Xu Jinglei, who was already well-known in the mainland, was willing to play a soy sauce role in the Hong Kong film "The Storm".

"Savage Girl" has not yet been released, so it will not be able to bring any bonus to Yan Danchen's acting career for the time being.

But if you participate in "Infernal Affairs" as the heroine, the situation will become completely different.

The overwhelming publicity and reports will quickly make Yan Danchen famous.

Becoming the only person in the class second only to Qi Wei and a certain classmate Zhao.

If "My Sassy Girl" and "Infernal Affairs" are both successful, surpassing that classmate Zhao won't be a problem.

"I remember that "Infernal Affairs" really wanted Qi Wei's investment, right?" He Lin said, which means that Yan Danchen did not obtain resources based on his strength.

"Yes, Qi Wei invested in it just because I wanted to make this movie. He said that as long as I am happy, he is willing to do anything for me. He will spend millions and millions without batting an eye."

"Wow, Dan Chen, it turns out that Qi Wei dotes on you so much. I really envy you for having such a good boyfriend." Xu Huanhuan, a classmate in the class, said with an envious look.

He Lin was even more jealous, thinking that I would devote myself to you, why are you not so kind to me, and began to complain about Qi Wei.

Of course, she would never admit defeat so easily.

He Lin couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Yes, Qi Wei is really good to women. I heard that he has also invested in Zhou Xingxing's new drama. Gao Yuanyuan will also participate in this drama."

"It's not just about participating in the role, it seems to be the heroine. I heard Yanzi said that she also auditioned, but it was because of Gao Yuanyuan that she failed."

Someone echoed, but quickly realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly shut up.

But Yan Danchen's face remained unchanged, and he smiled and said to everyone: "It seems that everyone is very interested in my new Qi Wei drama. It happens that my TV is big, so everyone goes to my place, and we watch "Meteor Garden" together. "

"Okay, okay, we haven't been together for a long time. Everyone has been very nervous during filming. It's time to relax." Someone immediately agreed.

Yan Danchen smiled and looked at He Lin.

"This is a good suggestion." He Lin agreed with a smile.

In the end, more than a dozen students in the class went to Yan Danchen's villa.

We had a small dinner party and after everyone had a good time eating and drinking, the time soon came to 07:30 in the evening.

Everyone stayed close to the TV, and "Meteor Garden" was broadcast on time on Beijing TV during prime time.

"Oh? Such a familiar melody!"

"You've always claimed to be Qi Wei's die-hard fan, but you can't even recognize his songs. This is "Love Is Unavoidable"."

"You don't need to remind me. I know. I'm just a little surprised. Why did Qi Wei choose this old song as the opening song of this drama? Why not compose a few new songs?"

"This song is quite suitable, and he also composed several new songs for this play." Yan Danchen answered the students' questions.

"I know the reason. "Love Is Unavoidable" is a love song written by Qi Wei to Dan Chen. This is Qi Wei's intention to express his love for Dan Chen." Zhao Yali said while holding Yan Danchen's waist.

"Indeed, "The Last Resort" is the love song he wrote to me." Yan Danchen also laughed.

Hearing this, He Lin suddenly felt a breath stuck in her chest. She breathed a long sigh of relief and tried her best to focus on the TV series.

Soon, everyone was attracted by this drama.

It's not because of the plot, because the opening song "Love Has to Be" is still playing on TV at this moment.It's because of the editing.

You must know that the director of this play, Wu Ershan, is good at graphics, and Qi Wei personally controlled the entire play.

With future aesthetics and vision, the costumes, props and even scenes of the entire play are specially customized.

Generally speaking, the production cost of an idol drama with a few episodes and almost all starring newcomers will not exceed 500 million, but the production cost of "Meteor Garden" reached 1200 million.

This does not include the cost of leasing luxury cars and luxury homes.

The luxury cars and mansions used in the filming of "Popular Garden" were either owned by Qi Wei himself or borrowed from his friends without any expense.

Even the clothes are sponsored by Qi Wei's personal brand for free.
If all these are money, it is estimated that even 2000 million may not be able to get it done.

It's really a big investment.

If you have money, the pictures will naturally look good, making "Meteor Garden" reveal a sense of sophistication, fashion and luxury everywhere.

It's simply a dimensionality reduction attack.

"Is this really a TV series that can be produced in mainland China?" Some students couldn't help but said, with shock on their faces.

"This drama has colleagues from Hong Kong City participating in it, and it has also been filmed in Hong Kong City." Someone explained.

"But Hong Kong dramas don't seem to be as exquisitely shot as this one!"

"That's because they are reluctant to spend money."

"."

No matter how much doubt they had in their hearts, the reality was in front of them and there was no room for them to question it.

This picture is eye-catching, and it is so beautifully shot. It makes sense, and everyone is interested in continuing to watch it.

The plot was also very fresh, and everyone was completely attracted to it, so that there was no voice of discussion afterward.

Especially the scene where F4 appears, with the addition of the lens and lighting, it is like an angel descending into the world.

The female classmates present also immediately transformed into little fangirls like classmates from the TV series.

Soon the two episodes of the TV series were finished. Only then did everyone react, and there was a feeling of unfinished business.

Then everyone started chattering.

"Wow! This drama is so good. I never thought that I would have the urge to follow it."

"I also want to follow the drama. I really didn't expect that besides Qi Wei, there are three more handsome men than Chen Kun."

"Lu Yi and the guy named Yan Yihuan are indeed very handsome, but Yu Bo is our junior classmate from the class of 99. I have seen him in school before, but I didn't think he was that handsome."

"This is the charm of the show and the charm of the camera."

"."

During the discussion, someone suddenly thought of something and asked Yan Danchen with a flattering smile: "Dan Chen, Qi Wei's company will prepare a similar TV series this year, right?"

"If "Meteor Garden" can be successful, we will definitely continue to prepare." Yan Danchen replied with a smile.

"So do you know what these shows are?"

"I don't know." Yan Danchen smiled and shook his head.

In fact, she knew. She had seen and read several TV drama scripts on Qi Wei's desk before.

Things like "Blue Life", "Winter Sonata" and "Full House" are all love idol dramas.

Qi Wei even asked with a smile that Yan Danchen would shoot whichever script he liked.

But at that time, Yan Danchen was filming "Savage Girlfriend", and Qi Wei also helped her negotiate "Infernal Affairs".

Since there is no shortage of movie resources, Yan Danchen is not so concerned about TV series resources.

I had no idea at the time and had no plans to shoot.

But now Yan Danchen has changed his mind.

"Meteor Garden" is so beautifully shot, and it's about to become a big hit.

As the heroine of this drama, Gao Yuanyuan will also enjoy the dividends of the drama's popularity and become popular all over the country.

Maybe he will be as popular as that classmate Zhao in the class.

Everyone else was fine, but only Gao Yuanyuan and Yan Danchen found it difficult to accept it.

She didn't want to be compared to Gao Yuanyuan.

"I want to choose a drama carefully." Yan Danchen made his decision immediately.

"Dan Chen, what are you mumbling about?" a classmate said.

"Nothing." Yan Danchen smiled at the classmate.

Another classmate said: "Dan Chen, I heard that Qi Wei's company is recruiting people. Look at my conditions. I want to join Qi Wei's company."

"You should ask Qi Wei about this."

"It's better to ask her than to ask you. You are his girlfriend. As long as you are willing to let her know, things will definitely work out."

"Yes, I also want to join Qi Wei's company. I want to film a drama like "Meteor Garden", even if I am not the protagonist."

Because of the influence of "Meteor Garden", everyone once again regarded Yan Danchen as a star.

At the moment, on the set of "Young Bao Qingtian", the producer Chen Yong and the director Hu Mingkai started discussing after watching "Meteor Garden".

"What do you think of the filming of "Meteor Garden"?" Chen Yong asked.

"The filming was very good. I really didn't expect that the mainland could produce such exquisite TV series."

"You mean this show is going to be a big hit?"

Chen Yong nodded, "This drama will be as popular as "Huanzhugege" throughout Southeast Asia."

These two people are from Hong Kong City and know more about Qi Wei's affairs in Hong Kong City. They all know that Qi Wei wants to acquire shares in ATV.

ATV has distribution channels in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia. Qi Wei acquired ATV's shares, and "Meteor Garden" can be distributed very smoothly throughout Southeast Asia and

Hearing this, Chen Yong suddenly became envious.

Although "Young Man Bao Qingtian" was filmed well, I still feel ashamed of myself.

It will not be as popular as "Meteor Garden" after it is aired in the future.

"It would be great if Qi Wei was willing to act in our drama." Chen Yong couldn't help but sigh.

"There is no way, he doesn't have that many schedules, and the Lu Yi he recommended is also very good, and he has fulfilled his promise to make him popular."

After the broadcast of "Never Close Eyes", Qi Wei became the veritable number one TV drama niche in mainland China. With Qi Wei's popularity so high, even if "Meteor Garden" becomes a big hit, it will only be the icing on the cake at most.

But it's different for less famous actors like Lu Yi.

Especially Lu Yi, who plays the second male lead, is very likely to become popular all over the country quickly, just like those who became famous in "Huan Zhu Ge Ge".

If Lu Yi becomes popular, it will definitely be a good thing for "Young Man Bao Qingtian".

Thinking of this, Chen Yong and Hu Mingkai couldn't help but look forward to it.
