Chapter 106 Don't Stick Your Tongue Out This Time

In April 2009, "Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle Star" was very popular, and at the end of April, another drama came out.

The trump card of the spy war - "Latent".

This drama was trial broadcast on several local stations at the beginning of the year, and the ratings were quite good. It was officially launched at the end of April, and landed on four satellite TVs in Beijing, Guangdong, Shanghai, and Chongqing, and all four of them entered the top ten in the same period.

At present, although the average ratings data of this show is lower than that of "My Leader and My Group" and "Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle Star", its influence is definitely catching up.

It is said that various satellite TVs and local stations are scrambling for the subsequent carousel rights of "Latent", and the webcasting rights and even the DVD copyrights are also being looted in large numbers.

Moreover, this drama is a typical theme work, and major mainstream media have reported it one after another, giving it a lot of exposure.

In the current era when Internet publicity channels have not fully occupied the mainstream, print media and TV channels are extremely effective in publicizing and distributing a film and television work.

Moreover, this kind of mainstream media's pursuit also has a considerable boost to the price and reputation of the TV series.

The leading actors Sun Honglei and Yao Dazui became even more popular, their fame and wealth soared, and they became the most sought-after actors in the industry.

Online and offline, it can be said that "Latent" is talked about overwhelmingly!
Originally, "Twinkle, Twinkle, Shining Star" became popular, which made Wei Yang a little complacent. Now that he saw "Latent", he really understood what a phenomenon-level hit is.

This also made Wei Yang pay more attention to and look forward to "You Who Came from the Star".

Now he does not lack masterpieces, whether it is a screenwriter or an actor, he can produce works well.

However, "The Best of Us" and "Orange Born in Huainan" have good influence and achievements, but they have never reached the point of being out of the circle.

In Wei Yang's view, the so-called phenomenon-level works that are out of the circle must not only have good ratings, but also meet the requirements of high discussion, wide coverage, popularity, influence, strong star-making ability, and considerable long-term performance. factors such as tail effects.

"Twinkle, Twinkle, Shining Star" barely touched the edge, and it can be regarded as a hit drama, but I always feel that it is still a few breaths away from a real phenomenal work.

"Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" is promising, but Wei Yang's roles are too small, no matter how you count it, it can't be said to be his work.

Therefore, whether "You Who Came from the Star" can achieve the achievements of the previous life is very important to Wei Yang himself and the company Blue Whale.

...

Magic City, The Peninsula Hotel

The crew of "You Who Came from the Stars" was packed today, and they directly took over the entire front hall of the hotel, including the square outside the main entrance.

Of course, with Boss Wei's character, he must have sponsored such a big fight.

This five-star luxury hotel has not officially opened at this time, but the decoration and so on have been done.

It is also because of this that the new hotel is keen on advertising to attract popularity, and has no other business. The venue is also idle. "You from the Star" contacted twice, and the person in charge generously expressed willingness to provide the venue and some help for free .

In fact, the production budget of "You Who Came from the Star" was not enough, so it wasn't enough to cover a hotel for a day or two.

But Wei Yang is used to careful planning, since he can prostitute for free, why spend money...

Wei Yang even prostituted not only the hotel for free, but also the "group performers" and equipment for free.

Today is the last scene of the crew. "You Who Came from the Star" is about to wrap up. The crew invited many media to interview and build momentum.

It just so happened that this scene was filming the reunion of the hero and heroine at the red carpet ceremony at the end, so a large number of reporters and fans were needed to perform.

This time it’s alright, this kind of production team invites interviews and must give the media some “travel expenses”. Wei Yang didn’t save this money, but after the payment was over, he asked the reporter if he had any ideas for guest appearances.

As a cameo, most people are willing to give it a try, not to mention there are so many peers together.

The carriage and horse fees have been settled, so there is no need to give the film salary, at most a boxed meal.

Therefore, Wei Yang hired two jobs for a sum of money, and the crew not only collected most of the reporter's tricks directly, but also saved money on TM equipment.

And looking back, "You Who Came from the Stars" gathered many journalists and media collectively as guest stars, and it was still a gimmick for publicity. The reporters were also very happy to have a special experience, and even used it as material to write articles.

With this operation, Fan Xiaopang, who knew the inside story, was dumbfounded, and the way he looked at Wei Yang was like watching a ghost.

"I'm a little afraid of you now. Maybe one day you sell me, and I'm afraid I'll count the money for you obediently."

"Sister, am I that kind of person!"

Wei Yang shouted wronged: "Isn't this forced by poverty? It's not like you don't know what life I live. There are so many people in the company's production crew who rely on me to support them. There is no specific charter for this drama yet, so it can't be done." Save a little bit."

This is true, and Fan Xiaopang couldn't help nodding. As one of the shareholders of the film crew, she knows much more than Tang Yan.

What Tang Yan saw was Wei Yang's power and prospects, and Fan Xiaopang could feel the huge pressure on Wei Yang even more.

Tens of millions of investment is no joke!

Although even if the loss is true, according to the contract, Wei Yang does not need to make up the money of the various investors, but it is impossible for him to have nothing to say about the loss of so much money.

The coal boss looks at how rich people are stupid, but he can't really treat them as fools. Those who can make money from mines are good people, and those who do investment business in Shanghai are not easy to deal with.

Not to mention that Wei Yang's entire net worth and company were also bet on it.

To create a high-quality idol drama, it is not simply a matter of copying a script. Wei Yang has devoted himself to this, working day and night.

Fan Xiaopang saw all these things in his eyes, and compared his heart with his heart. At Wei Yang's age and status, she certainly dared not and couldn't bear such a big pressure.

Under such circumstances, it is inevitable for Wei Yang to be a bit calculated, and he is not considered a cheater. The reporters are very happy.

Fan Xiaopang muttered that he actually admired Wei Yang's showmanship, after all, she was one of the shareholders of the film crew, and Wei Yang's free prostitution was equivalent to her free prostitution.

It's just that Wei Yang's operation of prostitution reporters reminded her somewhat of herself back then.

"I think you should be named Wei Baijiao."

"How many times have I said, this is not called prostitution, that time you called investment, this time it's called win-win."

Wei Yang said righteously: "We are public figures, so we must speak with positive energy, and don't keep talking about tigers and wolfs every day."

Fan Xiaopang rolled his eyes back and went to the dressing room to change clothes. With so many reporters shooting from multiple angles, she had to keep in good shape and not be caught taking ugly photos.

Wei Yang went to exchange his feelings with friends from the media, then changed his clothes and waited for a while to shoot.

At night, the Peninsula Hotel is brightly lit
There are tall billboards on both sides of the hotel, on which are beautiful photos of Fan Xiaopang, and there are live broadcasts on big screens, and the red carpet is surrounded by lights. The red carpet has gathered reporters and some group performers playing fans for two weeks. The entire venue The luxurious and exquisite layout does not lose its connotation.

Many reporters couldn't help but be amazed: "This setting is so similar, I'm a little dazed."

"Not only is it good, this scene is more upscale than many previous awards ceremonies."

"That's right, the venue of the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony last time was too rustic. Today, it's a bit like a foreign Oscar Grammy."

"Holding the award ceremony seriously, it can't compare to someone who makes a TV series..."

"..."

While chatting and having fun, the assistant director ran over and told them: "Teachers, you must remember that it is called Qianqian, not Bingbing. Don't make a mistake, and be more enthusiastic. The heroine in the plot is very popular. superstar."

The reporters expressed their pettiness one after another. It's not like they haven't been in similar occasions before, so they acted in their true colors.

After the group performances were settled, the crew turned on the camera and took the lead in filming the scene of Fan Xiaopang's entrance. He wore a slim white dress with X suspenders on the back, glamorous, exquisite, sexy and seductive.

As a well-known "blanket star", walking the red carpet is like getting something out of a bag for Fan Xiaopang, and knowing that many of them are real reporters, she intends to go all out and walk on the red carpet with all her charm.

Many reporters originally just wanted to join in the fun, but now they were stunned by Fan Xiaopang and involuntarily picked up the camera, sapping the film.

"Bing... Qianqian, look here."

"Look at this, right."

"Don't squeeze the camera, this, this."

"..."

Wei Yang watched this scene on the monitor, and couldn't help laughing at Liu Junjie: "How about this trick, not to mention saving money, ordinary group performers can't show their state."

Liu Junjie didn't say a word, and gave a thumbs up, let alone a group performer from Ye Luzi, even if he asked a serious class to go up, he would definitely be killed in seconds.

After all, no matter how much he acts like it is just acting, he is a serious reporter, so real.

It's not just reporters, Fan Xiaopang's appearance on the red carpet is also real, even those group performers are no different than real fans.

The source of this video was posted on the Internet without revealing the source. It is estimated that many people really thought it was the red carpet scene.

After the filming of this segment, it was Wei Yang's turn to appear.

According to the setting in the plot, the male protagonist was forced to leave the earth, and the female protagonist has been missing him for several years. She thought it would be difficult to meet each other in this life, but she did not expect the male protagonist to come back.

At the awards ceremony, the male protagonist stopped everyone except the female protagonist for a while, and then walked towards the female protagonist step by step, and the two kissed in surprise.

According to the setting, when the male protagonist kisses, the superpower disappears, so the time-stop ends and everyone returns to freedom, but they find that the female protagonist and the male protagonist are still kissing, and the audience is in an uproar.

So here we have to pause the audience, and then the male lead walks towards her step by step under the disbelieving eyes of the female lead.

During the official shooting, it is definitely impossible to shoot like this. There are hundreds of people on the scene, how can it be possible to keep them all motionless, so we can only go to the green screen and cut out the pictures later.

Prior to this, Wei Yang and Fan Xiaopang had already filmed the reunion scene on the green screen. This time, they mainly shot the panorama and the reactions of the group actors.

Watching the kissing scene up close, the reporters were very excited, while Wei Yang confirmed it with Fan Xiaopang in a low voice.

"Don't stick your tongue out this time. There are so many reporters. If we get caught, we will stay on Toutiao for at least half a month."

Fan Xiaopang licked his lips, eager to try: "Is there such a good thing?"

Wei Yang was speechless, he forgot about this girl's character, and would do anything to expose her, other actresses would not dare, she was really willing to let go.

But maybe because he felt that the gimmick of the public kiss scene was enough, and because he didn't want to make a fuss about [tongue X door], he was completely labeled as "frivolous". In the end, Fan Xiaopang honestly filmed a normal kiss scene.

The reporters were very satisfied, and the cameras in their hands flew up, while Wei Yang was somewhat regretful.

"Actually, if we can make headlines for a few more days, it will be very beneficial to our crew."

Fan Xiaopang: "..."
