Superstar Aspirations

Chapter 21

Views:

Although ordinary people often say that soap operas are too bloody and have no nutrition, it is precisely those soap operas with ups and downs and intense contradictions, and the ratings are very high.

In recent years, TV dramas are getting longer and longer, often 80 or 90 episodes. For example, in some remakes, in the old version of the last century, these episodes were told in only one episode, but in the new version, one episode has three episodes! So what used to be a dozen or two dozen episodes has become today's dozens or hundreds of episodes.

Weekly episodes have the advantage that they are usually very short. Generally speaking, no more than fifteen episodes.

So if you want to tell a story clearly in fifteen episodes, naturally, each episode will be full of fierce conflicts, which can make the audience watch without peeing and chase them excitedly. This is also the reason why the weekly drama can be broadcast once a week, but there are still so many viewers chasing after it.

When Zhao Mei turned on the TV and tuned in to her favorite channel, there were only five minutes left before the weekly drama of the ancient puppets she was chasing every week. She was excitedly waiting for the start of the TV series. In last week's episode, the hero actually died. Today is the finale. If the hero doesn't survive... Well, send the blade, you must send the blade!

Just when Zhao Mei prepared the melon seeds and waited patiently, suddenly, the promotional trailer of the weekly drama channel appeared like this.

The first one to get Zhao Mei's attention from eating! eat! eat! What attracts the past is the intense and rapid background music. The music is depressing and low, as if someone is walking fast in the dark night, and the rhythmic drum beat makes people nervous. Then Zhao Mei looked up and saw two big characters—

"ambush"!

The next moment, the picture changed instantly, and artillery fire roared on the white-hot battlefield.

The first person to appear on the screen is a young man in a light cyan military uniform. He wears a pair of silver wire glasses and looks gentle and refined, but when the screen changes, he suddenly changes into black clothes and whispers in the alley. Said, "Eighty-four, nineteen-seven."

Subtitles appear: Han Yanghao as Bai Mingde.

Then came a soft and elegant woman, wearing a plain floral cheongsam, standing on the podium, and gently speaking ancient prose to the students under the stage. But as soon as the screen changed, she suddenly looked at Bai Mingde firmly, and said seriously, "I am willing to join you!"

Zhang Tongtong as Liang Linghui.

Seeing this pair of handsome men and beautiful women, Zhao Mei immediately became interested. She stared at the TV screen carefully, chewing the melon seeds, and whispered: "Han Yanghao, I haven't seen him for a long time, this Zhang Tongtong is also very beautiful. I seem to have seen this drama somewhere. , ambush, ambush... ambush..."

The voice suddenly stopped for a moment, and Zhao Mei stared at the TV screen with wide eyes.

I saw on the screen a man in a dark military uniform riding a pitch-black wild horse, pulling the reins in the goose feather snow. The white snow contrasted with the dark cloak, which was dazzling and deep. He wore a cowhide military cap and looked at the front calmly. Suddenly, the corner of his mouth twitched, revealing an indifferent and mocking smile. Then, draw your gun! shooting!

"boom-"

Rong Xu as Huo Xi.

Time seemed to stand still, when the screen switched to the second female No. 2 Yi Lan, Zhao Mei suddenly screamed: "Isn't that the little beauty in "Chasing the Deer" just now! That's right, "Ambush" is his drama. I've heard people say it for a few days, but I forgot! What the hell, this military uniform is too handsome!!!"

At this moment, the trailer is still showing continuously. All the four male and female protagonists have been introduced, and the screen begins to change rapidly. This trailer is less than one and a half minutes long, so far, there are only thirty seconds left.

In the remaining 30 seconds, Bai Mingde and Liang Linghui met for the first time, and Liang Linghui and Huo Xi got married. Bai Mingde was almost discovered by someone, Huo Xi set up a trick to test Bai Mingde, but Liang Linghui casually said that, Bai Mingde was already prepared... So, Bai Mingde successfully passed the test and was promoted by Huo Xi.

Many plots unfolded in front of Zhao Mei's eyes like a revolving lantern. In the last ten seconds, the scene turned into a scene where Bai Mingde and Liang Linghui each held a book and stood in front of the window chatting; then in the last five seconds, the picture Turning around again, a pair of slender and beautiful hands suddenly appeared from behind Liang Linghui, pulling her into his arms with great strength!

The white shirt was unbuttoned three times, revealing a fragile collarbone. The messy black hair made him less cold and solemn, and more dangerous and sexy. He held the woman tightly in his arms from behind, his reddish cheeks suggested that the man seemed to be drunk, then he lowered his head, his eyes drooped, his long eyelashes fell, his lips parted slightly, Two words softly spit out—

"Aunt Hui..."

The hoarse and sexy voice echoed in the room for a long time, as if it could provoke the desire in the bottom of my heart, full of temptation.

The next moment, the picture darkens, and it's all over!

The two big characters "Ambush" were printed on the TV screen, and after another ten seconds, the finale of Zhao Mei's long-awaited weekly drama was officially broadcast, but at this moment, how could Zhao Mei still care about this? drama! With her eyes wide open and her face flushed, she quickly opened WeChat and chatted with her best friend.

[Ahhh! ! ! Lulu, have you seen the promotional video in front of "Qingcheng Sword" today! ! ! "Ambush", "Ambush"! There is Rong Xu, the actor of "Chasing the Deer" that you particularly like! He is so handsome, I thought he was following the juvenile route in "Chasing the Deer", how could he be so sexy and charming! ! !]

Not only Zhao Mei, there are countless audiences like Zhao Mei throughout China.

The high-value and conflicting plot, coupled with excellent filming and post-production, the short one-and-a-half minute trailer of "Ambush" quickly swept the Internet.

At the same moment when the TV station broadcast the trailer, it simultaneously released the trailer on its official video website and official blog. Some people, like Zhao Mei, saw it on TV, and some people saw it on the Internet while browsing Weibo and videos.

But no matter where they saw this trailer, their biggest reaction was—

[With this appearance, I can eat ten bowls of rice! ! !]

Before taking over the drama, Luo Zhentao said to Rong Xu, "This drama has high requirements for appearance."

So in this drama, Zhang Tongtong and Yi Lan are not very popular, but they have successfully become the heroine and the second female lead, precisely because they have a beautiful face. Although it sounds a bit superficial, there is no doubt that good-looking people can always make people feel good when they look at them.

[I think this film can be popular, I'm 50 cents, and its cleanup can definitely break 0.8!]

[What is 0.8, I think it can definitely break 1!]

[On fifty cents, who will bet with you. If it breaks 1, I'll eat my keyboard! Next week, Lingzhen's manga-reformed idol drama will be broadcast. Everyone is a weekly drama, or at the same time. That idol drama has a lot of fans of the original work, and with it there, this "Ambush" will definitely not be popular!]

With this trailer, "Ambush" once again set off a heated discussion.

Weekly dramas are often not as good as the daily dramas that are broadcast every day because they have to be aired one week apart, with a maximum of two episodes per week. But there are also excellent weekly dramas. There was once a weekly drama that reached a viewership rating of 5 per episode, smashing all the daily dramas in the same period.

Countless people are praising that the trailer of "Ambush" is very impressive, they must watch it, about about! But there are also some people who said: [The trailer is good, and there are too many TV series with spicy chicken in the main film.]

There are also a small number of people who are very concerned about ratings, such as "Summer Reality", which will be broadcast at the same time as "Ambush" next week. This is a manga adaptation. The heroine is called Xia Zhenzhen. The original work was very popular when it was adapted into an animation. Now it is adapted into a TV series. Many people are full of expectations for it.

In this way, "Ambush" has various topics to market. Both the TV station and the crew have put a lot of effort into it, and directly through this trailer, the popularity of "Ambush" has been pushed to the top ten hot searches, and it is also played on the homepage of major video websites in a loop.

It can be said that as long as you are a netizen, you must have heard the name "Ambush" in the past few days. Even if you are not a netizen, it doesn't matter. If you don't go online, you have to watch TV, right? On the TV, the trailer is played ten times a day!

And Qin Cheng saw this trailer, not because of the overwhelming promotion on the Internet, nor because of the crazy discussions and nympho netizens, nor because he turned on the TV and saw the trailer, but because... He secretly gave Rong Xu Special attention is set.

[Rong Xu: Huo Shaoshuai has always had a heart problem. Everyone likes to call him young marshal, but he is obviously very handsome, so why should he be called young marshal? He should be called "how handsome"~[laughs][laughs][laughs]//The crew of "Ambush": The trailer was announced first. Is it my reason or my feelings who ambushed beside you? [Video link]]

Before opening the video, Qin Cheng lowered his eyes, looked at every word posted by Rong Xu seriously, and then quietly raised the corners of his lips.

— Well, that’s cute, and the joke is cute too.

Xu Jin, who was on the side, suddenly burst out laughing: "Hahahaha, have you seen that Rong Xu's Weibo? I followed him a few days ago. He just forwarded a Weibo and made up a joke. This is The joke is too cold, I'm dying of laughter... er..." The laughter disappeared from Qin Cheng's cold and dangerous sight.

Putting aside this matter, Qin Cheng opened the video with a calm expression and watched it calmly.

When he saw Han Yanghao appear, his face was expressionless; when he saw Zhang Tongtong appear, his face was still paralyzed. Suddenly I saw Rong Xu appear! Qin Cheng nodded with satisfaction, who knew that the scene was only five seconds long, Qin Cheng just saw the boy's eyes clearly, and the scene suddenly changed to Yi Lan again!

Qin Cheng: "…"

And then, dazzling plot highlights appeared one after another.

Qin Cheng has filmed so many scenes, and with these things, he can probably guess what the plot of "Ambush" is. He looked indifferently, only when Rong Xu appeared, he nodded, and when Rong Xu disappeared, he continued: indifference.

Until the last ten seconds, Qin Cheng still watched silently. He was stunned for a moment when the long white hand suddenly appeared in the picture. Then the next moment! He saw that the boy suddenly pulled Zhang Tongtong into his arms, his clothes were disheveled! Drunk all over!

Still holding her so tightly, and being so close to her to talk!

"Aunt Hui..."

A hoarse and sexy voice came from the phone, and Qin Cheng was stunned. At this point, the phone has turned into darkness. The trailer was over, and Xu Jin just finished watching it there. He turned his head and wanted to talk to Qin Cheng, but when he saw the strange face of the other party, he said witfully, "It's been a long time since I came to the company, I'm going out for a walk. "

Xu Jin left quickly, he didn't want to stay with this inexplicable man who seemed to be in a bad mood all of a sudden, it would be fatal.

And of course he didn't realize that, when he heard the low whisper, the tips of Qin Cheng's ears slowly turned red. He coughed, first got up and walked a few steps, walked to the window, felt as if he had nothing to do, and silently walked back to the sofa... Open the video again, and watch it again!

Skip straight to the end!

Ignore that woman!

… well, it’s so pretty.

Xiangshan Film and Television City, "Ambush" crew.

Today's night scenes were all filmed, Rong Xu took off her makeup and went back to the hotel with Luo Zhentao. When walking halfway, Rong Xu suddenly thought: "By the way, Brother Luo, I asked you to help me find the house before, are you sure that I can move in directly when I return to City B?"

Luo Zhentao nodded: "Of course, the owner and I have already discussed everything. When you return to City B, sign the contract directly."

Rong Xu nodded slightly.

Luo Zhentao smiled and asked, "Do you need to hire a moving company for you, or should I help?"

Rong Xu shook his head and said, "No need, I don't have much."

Luo Zhentao understood.

Four days passed quickly, and finally came the day of the premiere of "Ambush"! On this day, Director Zheng finished filming for the crew early. Everyone went back to the hotel and watched the live broadcast on the TV.

When the crowd was about to disperse, I don't know who said jokingly: ""Summer Reality" seems to be broadcast on Mango Channel at this time, I don't know how they are."

Director Zheng raised an eyebrow and said, "Do you think we will lose?"

When they heard this, everyone laughed.

They don't know if they will lose, but they have confidence in their works, and the ratings will definitely not be bad!

The author has something to say: Rong Rong: Isn't my joke funny _(:з"∠)_

Fuwa: You ask the girls, is it funny or not~

Qin Chengcheng [stares with indifference]: Do you think it's funny
