"I like my role very much, and the director and screenwriter are also very thoughtful. Rather than worrying that I will steal your limelight, you should think about your acting skills yourself. If you insist on not letting go, don't blame me."
Mei Zihan was not in the mood to continue talking with Zhuang Hanbai, because he knew that no matter what Zhuang Hanbai said, Zhuang Hanbai would not listen.
That being the case, let's use the simplest and most effective method.
Zhuang Hanbai was really scared.
He didn't dare to gamble with Mei Zihan.
Mei Zihan had nothing, so naturally he didn't have to be afraid, but he was reluctant to give up his current good momentum.
There are too many niches in the entertainment industry who can replace him, and the trolls who have been blackmailing him all the year round come from at least five different studios. Once Mei Zihan really explodes something, those people will definitely publicize it.
In this circle, what is false can be said to be true, let alone what is true
This drama is just his transitional work, this one is not successful and there will be another one, it is not considered traumatic for him, and it is not worth his confrontation with Mei Zihan.
Moreover, Zhuang Hanbai was not without arrogance.
He has been able to get to the point where he is now, apart from his good luck, his own ability is also passable. It's just that Mei Zihan is right in one thing, he has acted in too many dramas that don't require much thought, but now his performance is mediocre.
If he could get back to a good state, where would the current result be
Zhuang Hanbai did some psychological work for himself for a long time before he calmed down.
He has encountered many difficult situations, and this one is not even ranked.
Zhuang Hanbai asked the assistant to bring him the script book again, and started to recite the lines in advance to try to figure out the role.
Mei Zihan's acting skills in the past were unimaginable at all, and now they are not so good that he can't catch up!
"You guessed it all." Mei Zihan hid in the toilet, and depressedly called Jiang Ying.
"This is just the beginning." Jiang Ying's voice came from the phone, giving Mei Zihan countless confidence, "I read the script, and your character will be more brilliant in the later stages. On the contrary, Wu Quan's The character has gained enough favorability in the early stage, but it will only drop but not increase in the later stage, which is definitely a good thing for you.”
At the beginning, Zhuang Hanbai wanted to step on Mei Zihan's position, but now it's Mei Zihan's turn to step on him, isn't it a feng shui turn
Mei Zihan is a bit stupid, but what can Jiang Ying do if he likes it
"I used to think about what it would be like when I stood in front of him one day. I would be happy to see him speechless by me." Mei Zihan said enthusiastically, "But now It seems that I am happier than I imagined."
Feeling refreshed after being beaten up, the anger that has been suppressed for five years will continue to come out, Zhuang Hanbai's face must be suppressed so that he will never dare to confront him again.
Presumably in this way, Jiang Ying would also be very happy. Once Jiang Ying is happy, this family crisis can be successfully passed.
"Act well." Jiang Ying could only advise, "A lot of the characters in the later stage are very brilliant, and it is not so easy for you to be the most successful one. In addition, practice your lines more when you have nothing to do. It helps you figure out the role. You can speak your lines well, and you can even dub your own voice in the later stage."
"I will definitely work hard." Mei Zihan made a strong promise, and expressed his miss to Jiang Ying, and then hung up the phone reluctantly.
I am used to Jiang Ying being with her stepfather's crew, but now that she has returned to a normal long-distance relationship, she feels that something is wrong with her whole body.
Mei Zihan sighed, came out of the bathroom, and obediently returned to the set to prepare for her next scene.
The advantages of closed shooting became apparent very quickly.
There is no extra entertainment here, the only pastime for the actors is to do their own work well, and because everyone has been together for a long time, the tacit understanding that should be cultivated.
On the way, Zhuang Hanbai asked for leave for a few days because of the schedule, but he returned soon.
Not only Zhuang Hanbai could see Mei Zihan's excellence, but everyone in the crew could see it. Who would have thought that this little-known character would have such good acting skills
Zhuang Hanbai has regained some of his state. Although he won't be overwhelmed by Mei Zihan every day, he can at least show some complexity of the characters. And Tao Shaotao, Zhao Yao and others were not to be outdone, and invisible competitive pressure permeated the crew.
In this regard, both An Yihao and Zhou Chi are happy to see the results.
As long as this level is maintained, the progress of shooting may be faster than expected. If there is still time left after the shooting is over, you can also make up for the bad shots in the early stage.
Besides, what surprised An Yihao even more was Mei Zihan.
Mei Zihan worked very hard.
The crew is so big, you can see him at any time.
At least seven or eight times out of ten times, I can see Mei Zihan silently reciting his lines, trying to figure out the role, and when there is really no other role, he will go to the safe zone of the army to have a look, and chat with the soldiers during the break Chat, take the initiative to ask the action instructor to give him some training, etc., so that he can perform better.
Who doesn't like a dedicated and studious actor
An Yihao's previous dislike for Mei Zihan also disappeared with Mei Zihan's progress day by day.
Once you get used to the three-point and one-line life of the canteen, dormitory, and film crew, time passes extremely quickly.
Accidentally, it was mid-November, and the weather was starting to get cold. Unfortunately, Mei Zihan and the others still had to wear spring clothes to shoot in the crew. Zhuang Hanbai's assistant took many photos of Zhuang Hanbai reciting his lines in the cold wind and posted them on Weibo, which aroused all kinds of praise from fans.
At this time, all the editing of "My Stepfather" was completed, and I started looking for TV stations to buy and broadcast it.
As the end of the year draws near, it's time for major TV stations to buy TV dramas.
The Spring Festival stalls have always been a period of fierce competition among major TV stations.
Whether the "New Year's Drama" is good or not is even directly related to the amount of investment the TV station will attract this year, which can be said to be extremely important.
CCTV has the pride of CCTV, and there is no need to compare with those local stations that rely on advertisements to attract business ratings, but they also have a fixed context.
For example, a new year's drama must be a drama that praises the country and history. It has a high profile, a lot of drama, and the ratings... don't care so much.
The ratings can be carried by CCTV's Spring Festival program.
At this time, "My Stepfather" fell into a very embarrassing situation.
It is said that no one cares about it, but it is not enough.
In the beginning, because of screenwriter Zhang, "My Stepfather" found Central Station No. 3, which broadcasts the same type of TV series all the year round.
Screenwriter Zhang has a good relationship with many people in CCTV. Although the drama he wrote was not popular, it did not make a big splash either. The sum of so many TV dramas is a terrifying amount, and now it is his passion, so it should be given some face.
The ratings of this station are neither high nor low, but it has a fixed audience. Most of Mei Zihan's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dramas were broadcast on this station. Although the price given is not high, but fortunately, it is rare to not default every time.
Needless to say, after the editing of "My Stepfather", the quality of the finished film has been improved. Anyone with eyes knows that it will never rush.
But the embarrassment is the embarrassment, this drama is too cruel.
It is definitely too late to buy and play now, and it is even more impossible to celebrate the New Year.
During the Spring Festival, CCTV always pays attention to family carnival. It can be broadcast during the day, but the ratings during the day are completely negligible, and it is completely possible to re-broadcast old dramas from the past. It is not like they do not have the same type of drama.
Furthermore, "My Stepfather" is starring a male supporting actor who has been around for ten thousand years, and it is also the director's debut. The producer is also the director's own family, so it can be called "three no products". That being the case, the price has to be severely suppressed.
What CCTV means is that they buy it at the price of 30 episodes, and then re-edit it, cut the 30-episode TV series into 50 episodes and release them, at a price of 250,000 episodes.
When screenwriter Zhang heard what the person in charge said, his thoughts of selling it to CCTV immediately faded away.
It is true that this kind of low-cost TV series is not comparable to those idol drama IP dramas, which can easily cost millions or tens of millions per episode, but the market they are pursuing is different, so the price is naturally different.
The status of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law drama actors is low in the entertainment industry, and it may not be because of the low prices of the TV series they star in.
Sometimes, the package price of a drama is not as good as the lead salary of an IP drama. How can the actors of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law drama hold their heads up high
The investment of this drama is 5 million, but after some publicity in the later stage, and the effort spent before and after, it is considered a loss if it sells for 8 million. Not to mention that the editing of this film is conscientious, not a single scene is superfluous, if it is cut into 50 episodes, the excitement will be greatly reduced.
Screenwriter Zhang clearly knew how important this drama was to Wen Mingjiang, even if it was sold at a loss of 200,000 episodes, he could not accept the condition of cutting it into 50 episodes.
Since we can't reach an agreement, we can only continue to find other buyers.
However, when the negotiations between China Central Television and "My Stepfather" failed, another dumbfounding news came.
CCTV bought the rights to broadcast "The Widow of the Li Family" at a price of 500,000 episodes, double the asking price of "My Stepfather".
Obviously, they prefer female lead dramas like "The Widow of the Li Family" and think that its performance should be better than "My Stepfather".
There are not without bitter dramas from the beginning to the end, but that trend has passed.
"Sister-in-law of the Li family" has rarely failed in this type of drama from the starring role to the director, and the prospect is naturally much higher than that of a three-no product. Even, CCTV decided to give it a good schedule and publicize it well.
For two plays written by the same screenwriter, people naturally tend to choose the one with less risk. After all, no matter how low the price of this show is, the overall sum is not a small amount, and it would be considered a loss if it went silently.
As the screenwriter of "The Widow of the Li Family", screenwriter Zhang didn't know whether to cry or laugh when he heard the news.
As the lead actor of the two dramas, Mei Zihan laughed heartlessly when he heard the news, and turned around to share it with Jiang Ying.
