Super entertainment red envelope

Chapter 644 The problem of Mango Terrace!

This special was recorded for two days,

The six members of the Men's Gang and the five female guests seem to have had a very sweet journey, but in fact, only one of them knows how hard it is.

On the bus back to the hotel after recording, everyone didn't talk or laugh.

Instead, they were all slumped on their seats, basically either in a daze or falling asleep. The three of them, Zhou Shilei, Wang Luoxin and Bai Qingqing, even snored regardless of their appearance.

"Hey hey hey!"

Qi Feiling was woken up by the snoring, but when she turned her head and saw the three people, she couldn't help laughing. Then she took out her mobile phone and took pictures of the three of them sleeping with their heads tilted.

"What are you doing?"

Li Zhifan looked at her in a daze, "Everyone is sleeping, aren't you sleepy?"

"Look at the three of them!"

Qi Feiling pursed her lips, and then showed Li Zhifan a look at the video, "Hey, I want to post a quick blog!"

"Be careful when they get up and beat you!" Li Zhifan's mouth curled up, but he couldn't smile, because he was so sleepy and tired, he closed his eyes and continued to doze off.

However, just when he was feeling comfortable, Qi Feiling suddenly reached out and shook him: "Director Li, Director Li! Take a quick look! There is your headline on the fast blog!"

"Isn't that normal?" Li Zhifan couldn't help but was pulled back to reality.

"No, someone scolded you!"

Qi Feiling's voice raised, and the other people who hadn't slept soundly woke up and looked at her.

"what?"

Li Zhifan frowned, opened one eye and looked at Qi Feiling, "Who is scolding me?"

"Here, look!"

Qi Feiling stuffed the phone in front of Li Zhifan, "This one!"

Li Zhifan took the phone and looked at it, thinking, why is he so unlucky?Why do people often scold him?

However, after reading the trending headlines, I realized that Qi Feiling used the wrong words. To be precise, it was not scolding him, but a malicious ridicule, or the kind of ridicule that was beyond self-control.

The cause of the incident was Wu Kele, this kid recently signed a new film, and it was filmed by Hu Xiaolong, who is known as the king of TV drama directors in the industry.

Hu Xiaolong started filming TV series in the 90s. The husband and wife directed one and wrote one, and produced many excellent dramas, including filming and production in the Mainland that year, and the first drama broadcast abroad was also filmed by him, and he was originally a CCTV The director of the production center, so he was also known as CCTV's first film and television drama director at that time.

Although Hu Xiaolong does not make movies, his director name is still very famous.

In 09, Hu Xiaolong left CCTV and founded his own independent film and television drama production company, and the nature of his works began to move closer to business and money.

This approach is naturally no problem. Li Zhifan also makes film and television dramas for money. The world is bustling, all for profit, and the world is crowded, all for profit, but first of all, the work must be excellent.

After the establishment of the company, Hu Xiaolong's wife no longer writes the screenplay herself, but relies on the screenwriting team to complete it.

In terms of TV drama production, Hu Xiaolong is also gradually developing towards "big star + popular IP adaptation".

In recent years, the works have completely become "no need for depth, as long as the topic is high", don't be afraid of mediocre word of mouth, high ratings, make a lot of money, and attract young fans and female fans.

Whether it is idol dramas, Gongdou dramas back then, or current levitation dramas and fantasy dramas, there are works produced by Hu Xiaolong.

This time, Hu Xiaolong aimed at the ancient puppet show, and invited Wu Kele, a hot and popular little fresh meat, to shoot the most popular, most talked about and most popular TV series in 2021.

Now that this goal has been formulated, it is natural to suppress other opponents.

And CCTV's new year's drama, "Latent", which is currently gaining popularity by word of mouth, has become the target he wants to trample on.

The place where the incident happened was at the launch conference of Hu Xiaolong and Wu Kele's new drama "Legend of the Fallen Country". , is it true?
Wu Kele and Hu Xiaolong were clearly prepared.

First, Wu Kele directly admitted the matter, and then said that he went to the audition because he wanted to try differently. He felt very sorry that he was not selected, but he did not regret it, because if he hadn’t missed it. "Latent" will not meet this "Legend of Overwhelming Country".

Then came Hu Xiaolong, who was asked by the reporter what he thinks of the very popular drama "Latent"?
Hu Xiaolong said: "The filming is good and the plot is also very good, but this is still a regular spy war drama. This theme has been played in China for more than ten years, and there are movies and TV dramas of the same type that are launched and broadcast every month. I made this type of film in 99, and I led the completion of the first spy war film and television base in China, which was in Yanqi."

The reporter then asked him, what did he think of Li Zhifan's transformation from film director to TV drama director?
Hu Xiaolong said directly: "In my eyes, he is a star director, there is no distinction between movies and TV series, and what he makes depends on how he caters to the feelings of the audience, whether it is "Wolf Warrior" which is a box office hit. , or "Latent", which is currently in the limelight, is actually selling feelings, but this card can't be played for long, so he knows how to turn to the TV drama market instead of staying in the movie market, but the TV drama market is also an unfamiliar field for him , so we can only start with the two aspects of good feelings and catering to the superior.”

The reporter then asked again: "You mean, he can't take pictures like yours?"

"Haha, you said that yourself!"

Hu Xiaolong grinned, but the subtext was self-evident.

Both Wu Kele and Hu Xiaolong are famous figures, it is impossible to "curse" Li Zhifan as Qi Feiling said.

In fact, during the entire conversation with the reporter, the two of them didn't even have a word of attack on Li Zhifan, and even Hu Xiaolong "commented" a few words of "Latent".

Superficially, it seems that the reporter is making criticisms, but upon closer inspection, Wu Kele and Hu Xiaolong are already prepared, and it is hard to say whether they directed and acted the play themselves.

Mingli praised "Latent", but secretly said that "Latent" is outdated.

Regarding the matter of Li Zhifan moving to the TV drama market, he secretly denied him, and the last sentence he said to the reporter affirmed the reporter's meaning, and trampled on Li Zhifan and "Latent".

After watching the video, Li Zhifan raised his head and saw a car of people surrounded him.

And they looked at Li Zhifan with piercing eyes.

"What are you doing? What do you mean by looking at me?" Li Zhifan asked knowingly, and shook his head with a wry smile.

"Zhifan, this is not good!"

Zhou Shilei frowned and said, "They say that, we really can't do anything about him, but you can do whatever you want, post a fast blog with hidden needles, expressly thank him for his criticism and guidance, and secretly squeeze him, to be honest , this old Hu is becoming more and more depraved. What kind of bad movies have he made in these years? Buying ratings, falsifying the number of Internet hits, deliberately chasing popular stars, these are all scolded by netizens, but there are still his loyal fans The defense is mainly female fans, it is simply unreasonable for you to say a few more words and say that you are a straight male cancer."

A car of people looked at Zhou Shilei with piercing eyes.

He was still snoring and sleeping just now, why did he become so excited all of a sudden.

Could it be that he and Hu Xiaolong have some blood feud?
"Why are you looking at me? Am I wrong?" Zhou Shilei looked around.

"I said, Brother Lei!" Li Zhifan laughed, "Why are you acting more angry than me?"

"Nonsense, can you not be angry?" Zhou Shilei counted with his fingers, "1. You are my brother! 2. I starred in "Latent"! 3. I just can't understand him."

"Oh!"

Li Zhifan felt that there must be some other reason for the third point, but he didn't ask too much, but said, "Let me think about it! But I hope everyone will not get involved in this matter now, although Brother Lei The method just now can indeed strike back, but it can’t hit the opponent’s face. Even if he tells his lies or something, it won’t hurt, because he is too thick-skinned and used to it. The wicked will have their own rewards. I always believe that, The taste of the audience is not in the 90s anymore, word of mouth is the best report card, who is good and who is bad, let's talk by ratings and word of mouth! This is the battle we as film and television professionals should fight!"

"well said!"

Wang Yue immediately applauded and kept clapping, "Zhifan, you are indeed different from before, but the energy in your heart is still the same. I think if you want to slap him in the face, you can only rely on "Latent". One drama is not enough. In this way, Wang Ye will write a book later, and Zhifan will follow along with you, we will not sell feelings, nor cater to the needs of current affairs, how about it?"

Wang Ye immediately raised his hand and said, "Okay, I promise to complete the task!"

Li Zhifan smiled and didn't speak. Do you really think that "Wolf Warrior" and "Latent" are based on feelings and catering to current affairs?

There are many people playing this game, but why are only "Wolf Warrior" and "Latent" successful?

The key question, many people have not figured it out.

The core of a high-quality film and television work is the story!

The wonderfulness, fun and rationality of the story are all the key points. The story of "Wolf Warrior" lies in its wonderfulness and fun. What is played is the heartbeat, and it can even slightly reduce the rationality. The same is true for "Latent". , The degree of brain-burning fun is what the audience loves to talk about. The so-called feelings and catering to current politics are just icing on the cake.

Just like cooking, the deliciousness of the food is the protagonist, and no matter how well the seasoning is placed, it is also an auxiliary ingredient. No one will only eat the seasoning.

During this turmoil, Li Zhifan never spoke up. He felt that if he said a word more, he would just make the other party gossip.

What the other party wants most now is definitely Li Zhifan's voice on this matter. Whether it is to fight back and abuse, or to bow his head and act good, it is beneficial to them.

Only a cold attitude will make them feel lost, regretful, and even anxious.

But Li Zhifan was actually waiting for an opportunity, an appropriate opportunity, for him to launch a suitable counterattack.

Although he couldn't say what kind of opportunity, what kind of opportunity, but he felt that there would be that moment.

Sure enough, God took care of him specially. In this story, he was the one who had the halo of pig feet.

While he was waiting for the opportunity, the opportunity came to him.

A week later, as soon as the recording of the seventh episode of "Extreme Challenge" ended, a deputy director and channel director of Mango Channel came to the recording location in person and asked Li Zhifan to talk about something important.

"Oh that's fine!"

Li Zhifan pointed to his business nanny car, and said, "I'm going to change some clothes. Wait a minute, let's find a place to talk!"

"Good! Good!"

Yang Lu, the director of the channel, nodded again and again, and Wu Yibo, the deputy director, nodded slightly.

After Li Zhifan changed his clothes and came out, the two were still standing there, so they stepped forward and asked, "Go to the bus of the program group! The place is spacious, and everyone else has gone to eat, so it's suitable for us to talk about things."

"Then please!"

Yang Lu stretched out his hand, signaling Li Zhifan and Wu Yibo to go forward.

Li Zhifan and Wu Yibo have met twice, but they are not familiar, but they have more opportunities to get in touch with Yang Lu, as well as Ye Qiuxin, the drama director of Mango TV. They have fought fiercely with the people from CCTV for a long time about "Latent".

"Let's get straight to the point!"

After Li Zhifan got in the car and took a seat, he said directly, "I'm tired from recording all day today, I want to go back early and rest."

"Director Li!" Wu Yibo said with a smile on his face, "I really have something to ask you this time. Something difficult happened in the stage, otherwise I wouldn't have come forward in person."

"Then let's talk about things!" Li Zhifan smiled, "We have cooperated so well, what else can't we say directly?"

"To be honest, it's because of the arrangement of the TV series!"

Wu Yibo said in embarrassment, "The TV series I bought before was originally scheduled to be broadcast in September, and it also passed the review of the radio and television. At the investment promotion meeting at the beginning of the year, I also won many contracts from advertisers, but because of the irresistible Factors, was suddenly stopped by a paper document from Radio and Television, and now the condition is that it is not allowed to broadcast, we have nothing to do now, so I want to discuss with you, can we seize the time and shoot a drama as quickly as possible?"

"What? Fastest speed?"

Li Zhifan was taken aback, and couldn't help laughing, "Aren't you kidding me? Director Wu, I don't have anything prepared, how do you ask me to shoot? Besides, what is your broadcast time? I will shoot the review cycle How much is it? Can it pass the trial? Will it be clicked off by some irresistible factors in the situation you are encountering now?"

"Don't worry about this, as long as you don't use Korean actors in the play!"

Wu Yibo said, "Let me tell you clearly! It's because there are two Korean actors in that drama, so it can't be aired, and these two are still the protagonists. Reshooting and editing are very time-consuming and labor-intensive. The broadcast time was originally scheduled to be in mid-July, of course, we can make appropriate adjustments, and we can adjust the drama of the fourth quarter in October and broadcast it in advance, and your drama will be broadcast in October."

Seeing Li Zhifan's melancholy and deep expression, Wu Yibo continued: "This year, the intensity is stronger than in previous years. Most of the TV dramas in stock cannot be broadcast. Only two can be broadcast. It has been decided to replace the dramas in the second season, but There is still a quarterly vacancy. Everyone in the industry knows that you are fast in filming, Director Li. For a drama with such a high reputation and high ratings as "Latent", you completed it in less than two months. If we don't look for you, we really I don't know who to look for."

"Don't worry about the price. As long as you can help Taili get through this difficult time, you can ask for anything! We will definitely satisfy you!"
