One person's entertainment

Chapter 155: It doesn’t look fake. I suggest calling the police.
The first day of the New Year marks the beginning of a new year with everything renewed.

On New Year's Eve in 1998, the annual drama, China's flagship show that has been at the peak of attention and traffic, the Spring Festival Gala, came to a successful conclusion amid the lights of thousands of homes.

This year's Spring Festival Gala has an overall audience rating of 61.8%, making it the most watched Spring Festival Gala in the s.

From the start of the evening party until this morning, the program team and relevant departments have received tens of thousands of calls and telegrams from audiences across the country, speaking highly of the evening party. At the same time, industry insiders and relevant experts also fully affirmed the evening party.

Without a doubt, the most successful program was "See You in 98" sung by Shen Lingyou and Wang Jingfei, which set a record for ratings, with a viewership rate of 88% in that time period.

Overnight, the name "Shen Lingyou" became a household name, making him truly "known to everyone".

In the afternoon, as it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, there were not as many passengers as usual at the Capital Airport.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the airport hall, which instantly attracted everyone's attention.

It turned out to be a group of media reporters who were chasing Shen Lingyou for an interview.

They waited here for a long time, and finally he came and threw all kinds of questions at him.

But he was not impatient and answered some questions selectively.

It wasn't until he passed security and entered the terminal hall that he was able to relax for a while.

But here, some people also recognized him, and then they greeted him, asked for his autograph, and took photos with him.

But fortunately, there weren't many people and it didn't cause congestion.

"It seems that I have to be more careful when traveling in the future and not be as reckless as before."

Shen Lingyou boarded the plane and couldn't help but sigh.

He knew that this was something he would have to face after becoming famous, and he couldn't escape or hide from it.

Who made him choose the path of entertainment industry? The easy days will become less and less in the future.

The power of the Spring Festival Gala is still slowly being released.

The best effect will be achieved after three to five days.

Only then can Shen Lingyou truly enjoy the fame and fortune brought by the Spring Festival Gala.

It was already midnight when he arrived at his hometown.

When I arrived in town, I called my father and he drove over to pick me up.

This is the benefit of building roads and laying telephone lines. It not only benefits the village, but also brings convenience to yourself.

At the same time, "Never Forget" was broadcast on ten TV stations, but nothing much could be seen after two episodes.

However, the various publicity in the early stages attracted a lot of attention. In addition, most people stayed at home on the first day of the Chinese New Year, playing cards and mahjong or watching TV, which also made the ratings of the first broadcast exceed 40%.

This momentum is even greater than that of "Water Margin".

Whether it can maintain stability or even continue to rise depends on whether the subsequent plot can retain the audience.

You know, although "Water Margin" had a bad ending, the ratings of the finale still reached 78%, and the average ratings were as high as 40%, which is not so easy to surpass.

Shen Lingyou returned home, not only to watch the movie with his family, but also to watch it with the villagers.

To be honest, I was a little embarrassed. The main reason was that he had love scenes with the leading female character Ou Qingchun played by Yu Feihong and the second female character Ouyang Lanlan played by Zeng Xiaolai.

These are also the main and branch lines that drive the development of the story, the drug-fighting line of Xiao Tong and Ou Qingchun, the undercover line of Xiao Tong and Ouyang Lanlan, and the life line of Xiao Tong with his class teacher, professor and Wen Yan.

Each of these characters is full of complexity, and it is this complexity that makes the characters more real, and the audience is easily drawn into this balance game of love.

Simply put, the source of all the pain is love. Xiao Tong is unable to completely resist Ouyang Lanlan's love due to his undercover mission; Ou Qingchun is unable to accept Xiao Tong's bold pursuit due to his duties; in order to get rid of Ouyang Lanlan, Xiao Tong successfully quits drugs with the help of Ou Qingchun, but in order to assist in solving the case, he decides to return to the center of the storm and take drugs again to gain trust.

"Grandson, tell grandma honestly, have you ever taken drugs?"

"Grandma, this is totally untrue. Acting is all fake."

"But, I see your emaciated body and the pain you are in. It doesn't look fake at all."

Shen Lingyou was speechless. In fact, not only his grandmother, but many people present looked at him with strange eyes.

Not too similar, but too real.

Some people even thought of calling the police to have him taken away.

"Whether it's true or not, I lost weight by dehydrating myself on purpose. As for the pain, that was all acting." After explaining, Shen Lingyou also demonstrated the state of drug addiction on the spot.

"Mom, this is the result of Ling You's study of acting in the Central Academy of Drama. This is called 'acting skills'. It is to convey the script, lines, and inner thoughts of the character to us through skills. The more realistic the performance, the better the acting." Jiang Xiu Yue had learned about it, so she helped to explain.

"Mom, just like Ling You's love affair with those two girls, it's all fake." Shen Yongchun followed.

"It's okay as long as it's fake. Listen to grandma and stay away from pornography, gambling and drugs." Grandma warned.

"Don't worry, grandma, I won't." Shen Lingyou is well aware of the harm caused by these three actions.

"Brother, your acting was really great. It gave me chills." Shen Lingfang commented.

"Me too." Shen Lingguo echoed.

Immediately, everyone started praising it.

The New Year passed quickly, but every night, there were not many people outside, and everyone was watching TV series at home.

Accompanied by the four songs "The Lone Brave Man", "Just Met You", "Love Until Death" and "Come Back Soon", countless female audiences cried for Xiao Tong played by Shen Lingyou, and many male audiences said that Yu Feihong's Ou Qingchun and Zeng Xiaolai's Ouyang Lanlan were too beautiful.

The wonderful plot and realistic performances made the ratings rise steadily, rising to 6% in the 50th episode, and maintained above 40% thereafter, setting a new high of 80% in the finale.

Xiao Tong's death brought great shock to the audience. A life that could have had an infinite future was torn apart step by step. This huge contrast created a tragic power.

"Huaxia Television News": "Never Forget" is a very "grand" work of heroism and romanticism. Although it is a "main theme", it is real, beautiful and does not contain any compulsory preaching.

"Nanfang Daily": It is the first time in the history of Chinese television that a domestic TV series is broadcast simultaneously by 10 satellite stations across the country. If it were not for its excellent ideology, artistry and watchability, how could it have achieved such ratings?
"Radio and Television Magazine": The unique model of case + undercover + romance makes "Never Close Your Eyes" a very representative "Lingyou drama", and it has the opportunity to develop into a drama genre in the mainland that can compete with Qiong Yao dramas and Jin Yong dramas.

"The World of Sound and Screen": A beautiful interweaving of love and sacrifice, Ouyang Lanlan was heartbroken and shot Xiao Tong to death, Ou Qingchun cried loudly while holding Xiao Tong's body, only the tragic ending can be deeply remembered, imperfection is perfection.

"Radio and Television": Shen Lingyou, Yu Feihong and Zeng Xiaolai are not only outstanding in appearance, but also excellent in performance.

"Popular Film and Television": The younger generation of actors is bringing new vitality to domestic TV dramas.
