When accepting this play, Rong Xu took the initial version of the script.
At that time, his role was very simple, that is, a violent young marshal who was cold-hearted and infatuated with the heroine. Later, when Han Yanghao happened, the role was slightly changed, adding more plots to express Huo Xi's heart, which also made him appear more gentle.
And now, this latest version of the script has completely changed the ending!
In the original ending, the heroine Liang Linghui was influenced by Bai Mingde and joined the new party as a member of the underground party. In the end, the revolution won, she married Bai Mingde, and like all fairy tales, she lived a happy life.
But in the current ending, Liang Linghui chose to leave Bai Mingde.
Ninety-nine percent of TV dramas on the market must conform to some basic principles. For example, the protagonist must be just, and for example, it is best to have a perfect ending. There are not no TV series with tragic endings, but after all, it is a minority. Most of the TV series have happy endings, which are comfortable for the audience to watch.
The hero and heroine are not together, which can be said to be a tragedy in a sense.
When he saw this script, Luo Zhentao was very surprised. He said in amazement: "Isn't it afraid that the audience will have opinions about this change? The male and female protagonists are not together. The audience is very likely to be very angry and even boycott the crew. I remember that it ended a few weeks ago. In the "Qingcheng Sword", the hero died in the penultimate episode, and he didn't survive in the finale, but he was sprayed with blood by the audience."
Rong Xu read the script carefully, he thought about it for a moment, and replied, "This ending is not impossible. Brother Luo, I remember that there was a very famous hit drama three years ago. The hero and heroine finally got divorced. Got on the train going in the opposite direction, and it's really not involved since then."
Luo Zhentao was still a little hesitant: "Is it really okay to change it like this?"
Who is most resistant to the new script
Of course it's Han Yanghao!
Han Yanghao directly asked Director Zheng for an explanation, but who knew that Director Zheng quickly threw away his market research and said succinctly: "60% of the audience hope that Liang Linghui can stick to the principle, whether she loves Huo Xi or not, she She is already Huo Xi's wife and shouldn't do any cheating. Moreover, Director Wang of Tomato Station also said that although cheating in marriage is worth seeing, it can be deleted if it is not necessary. Liang Linghui did not have sex in the end. Bai Mingde is together, is there any problem? She remarried as soon as her husband died, which would make the audience even more repulsive."
Hearing this, Han Yanghao was about to spit out a mouthful of old blood: "Liang Linghui and Huo Xi are just fake couples, right? They have never had a real relationship. Huo Xi died because he committed suicide, and Liang Linghui didn't force him. Liang Linghui did not force him. Linghui didn't want to be with Bai Mingde for Huo Xi, so you changed... so..." You changed, who is the hero!
Han Yanghao didn't say the last sentence, but Director Zheng already understood what he meant. What Han Yanghao cares about is who Liang Linghui likes and who to marry. What he cares about is: who is the male lead!
However, the shrewd director deliberately pretended to be silly and said, "That's what the audience hopes. They also hope that Liang Linghui likes Huo Xi. Then tell me, how do you want us to change, eh?"
Han Yanghao suddenly became dumbfounded.
If Liang Linghui is not with Bai Mingde, it can also be said that Bai Mingde is the protagonist. But Liang Linghui and Huo Xi finally got together... What do you think this is called? !
The person who is with the heroine is actually the second male
This kind of plot will not appear in one of a hundred TV dramas!
The one who is with the heroine must be the hero, so according to this common sense, Huo Xi is the hero
Han Yanghao and Zheng Dao had a big quarrel and ended up dead. The crew is still filming and needs to reshoot several previous episodes. In order to understand the audience's thoughts, the crew of "Ambush" launched a popularity poll on their official blog to solicit their favorite characters from netizens.
So in City B, thousands of miles away, Xu Jin just returned to the private lounge with the materials, when he saw a man sitting in front of the computer with a serious face, not knowing what he was doing.
Xu Jin walked directly to Qin Cheng's direction, and said casually, "What are you doing? Mr. Liu, Director Chu, and Director Zhao have all sent you scripts in the past few days. Which one did you like? We're making an appointment with you for next year's movie schedule, and we'll have to reply this week."
After talking, Xu Jin walked to the computer and was about to see the screen on the computer. But just as he was about to see it, Qin Cheng calmly pressed the close button, and all the pictures returned to the desktop. Xu Jin only had time to see the words "Weibo Registration", and the picture flashed by. Can no longer see clearly.
Xu Jin asked subconsciously: "Hey, what the hell are you doing? Did I just see the registered Weibo account..."
"Lao Liu's new play is good." A low and magnetic male voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Xu Jin's words.
Xu Jin nodded immediately and said, "Well, I also think Mr. Liu's new play is good, so it's Mr. Liu's? You decided so quickly, I thought you didn't watch it..."
The topic quickly continued on Mr. Liu's new play, Xu Jin had completely forgotten what he had just seen, and he just thought he was wrong. However, in fact, the webpage that someone closed just now has four big characters written in real, real words—
Micro, blog, register, register!
Xu Jin also didn't know that this was the 43rd time a man opened this page today, and it was also the 43rd time he had registered for a Weibo account. All afternoon, Qin Cheng silently stared at the computer screen, silently registered an account, silently followed a certain crew official blog... and silently voted.
But even so, on the popularity list of the official blog of the "Ambush" crew, the first place is still Han Yanghao.
After all, he was once popular and has more than 5 million Weibo fans, and because of this drama, Han Yanghao's acting career has gradually improved. So his fans voted frantically, even Rong Xu's fans voted hard - for example, fans surnamed Qin who registered forty-three trumpet votes like cheating, couldn't compare to Han Yanghao.
Han Yanghao has more than five million fans, while Ke Rong Xu only has more than one million. The difference in base numbers is too great, and it is not a level at all. Even when the crew released this vote, there was speculation that Han Yanghao was definitely the first, Rong Xu was the second, and Zhang Tongtong was the third. And the gap between the first and the next two must be very large.
But a week later, when the voting was about to close, Luo Zhentao opened Weibo and took a look at the vote, and was suddenly surprised to find: "Hey, Xiaoxu, your votes are only one thousand less than Han Yanghao!"
Bai Mingde: 13514 votes.
Huo Xi: 12053 votes.
Rong Xu also glanced at Luo Zhentao's mobile phone screen, he thought for a moment, and said, "Probably because of yesterday's plot."
Luo Zhentao thought: "Well, yesterday's plot was indeed discussed by many people."
In the fourth week of the broadcast of "Ambush", the national audience rating was 1.2!
Compared with the previous episode, this rating has not dropped at all, and it is not like what the diehard fans of "Summer Reality" said. Because of the increase in the ratings, Director Zheng was smiling all day today, which strengthened his determination to change the script.
In this fourth episode, the story that Bai Mingde was designed by Huo Xi and almost died was broadcast.
As soon as this plot appeared, the contradiction between the male protagonist and the male No. 2 rose to the extreme. Bai Mingde tried his best to make Huo Xi no longer doubt himself and hide his identity as a spy, and he also heard some abnormalities from Liang Linghui's mouth, and then he noticed Huo Xi's actions, which led to his own underground party. Identity not revealed.
This episode is not emotional at all, it is pure plot flow. The intense and tense plot made the audience excited, and even many viewers said that they dared not miss a single second, because every second found a shocking change.
And at the end of this episode, an underground party was caught by Huo Xi's men. Huo Xi came to interrogate the other party in person, and the man's spirit was about to collapse. At the end of the episode, it ends with a quote from that underground party—
"I said! I said everything!"
The audience was so nervous that they held their breath completely. Just as they were waiting for each other to say the name "Bai Mingde", suddenly! The screen went black, the ending song sounded, and the cast and crew list slowly scrolled up.
Audiences:"… "
What are you doing! Don't you dare not be so appetizing!
Rong Xu's analysis is really good. The fourth episode is no longer about the love story of Bai Mingde and Liang Linghui, but uses a lot of ink to describe the battle between Huo Xi and Bai Mingde. So in this episode, Huo Xi played quite a lot.
Originally, the audience only knew in their hearts that "Huo Shaoshuai should be a cruel and violent person", but did not really feel it, but in this episode, they completely saw a decisive, cold-blooded and cruel Huo Shaoshuai.
Then their unanimous response was: "Fuck! So handsome!"
Therefore, Huo Xi's votes suddenly increased dramatically, rising by more than 3,000 votes.
Luo Zhentao sighed in a low voice: "The voting ends today, maybe you can surpass Han Yanghao."
Hearing this, Rong Xu raised her brows slightly, but did not say a word. Soon, a staff member asked him to go to the studio to prepare for filming.
There are only three short days left before the filming of the entire drama "Ambush" ends. And today's scene is Rong Xu's last scene. All his scenes have been filmed, and after this last scene, he can get his own share of the shocking red envelope and officially leave Xiangshan Film and Television City.
He probably knew that Rong Xu was about to finish his career. When many staff members met him, they would greet him with a smile. The incident with Han Yanghao made the crew more united, and also made them more like Rong Xu, a newcomer who was bullied by the big-name Han Yanghao.
When Rong Xu walked to the set, Director Zheng was still talking to Zhang Tongtong, and Deputy Director Li came over and said with a smile, "The kid who picked you up at the airport two months ago, Rong Xu, remember?"
The young man was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and asked, "I remember... His name is Xiao Li?"
Deputy Director Li laughed: "I didn't expect you to remember him, he must be very happy. He is actually my son, and he has a good impression of you. Originally, he was supposed to be an intern and a field manager in our crew. It's a pity that on the fourth day when Han Yanghao arrived, my son made him a cup of coffee, but he couldn't find the mocha that Han Yanghao liked. He used a latte. He scolded my son as worthless. She wouldn't let her precious son get angry here, so he left."
Rong Xu was a little impressed by this incident, but he didn't notice that the field manager who took the initiative to leave was actually Xiao Li.
Deputy Director Li looked at Rong Xu solemnly, the smile on his face gradually subsided, he said seriously: "Thank you, please continue to work hard."
Rong Xu slowly raised the corners of his lips and nodded with a smile.
So, why did he so easily instigate Deputy Director Li to make the other party willing to risk being dismissed by Director Zheng and use the official blog of the crew to publish news privately? Everything has a cause and effect. The cause that Han Yanghao committed at the beginning led to the consequences that he later pushed down.
It didn't take long before Rong Xu's last scene officially started.
Looking at this improvised prison scene, the teenager took a deep breath and let it out slowly. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes became calm and indifferent. Even though he was wearing a rough prison uniform, his hair was messy, and there was an unhealed wound on his forehead, he did not let go of his pride.
Rong Xu stepped up, walked to the wall and sat down.
The next moment, Director Zheng shouted "action", and Huo Xi's last scene officially started!
