The Wind of China Entertainment 2005

Chapter 245
At the end of March, the promotion of "Latent" lasted for nearly half a month.

Four TV stations, Beijing, Nanfang, Shanghai, and Mango, won the first-round broadcast rights.

As the premiere date approaches, the pressure on Zhang Jing and Hua Ming is increasing. If they don't make some noise, "Latent" will probably become popular.

In fact, since the beginning of this year, several high-rated film and television dramas have appeared one after another, making them a little uneasy.

"Walking to the West Exit" in January, "Which North Wind Blows" in February, and "My Leader, My Regiment" in March.

"Walking to the West" premiered on CCTV. The show's average ratings were 9.60%, and the highest ratings for a single episode were 12.47%, setting a seven-year ratings record.

The leading actor Du Chun has soared from the top, and the agency behind him has provided all the money, and the press releases are flying all over the place. He is the No. 1 male star in the [-]s. It is a magic formula for ratings. It can be said that it is unparalleled in the limelight.

At the beginning of the year, "Human Love" starring Lu Yuan was launched at the same time, but the ratings were really weak. Compared with the previous dramas, it was not worthy of his reputation.

Coupled with the "hidden marriage and childbirth" incident at the end of last year, he "offended" the media severely, and the public opinion was very serious.

Whenever Du Chun publishes a draft, someone will secretly belittle him.

Fans from both sides often fight in forums such as Tieba, blogs, Tianya and other major forums, and rumors, whether true or false, are flying all over the place.

Du Chun spent a lot of money to hire trolls. Fortunately, Mr. Lu had a strong foundation and had more female fans. They were all very fierce and could spray three at the same time with one mouth.

He has never lost in fights, but the direction of public opinion cannot be easily reversed by a few fans. After all, the ratings are nothing more than facts.

In February, "The North Wind Blows" was broadcast on Beijing Satellite TV, with an average ratings of 6.6%, breaking the ratings record since the establishment of Beijing TV, with the highest ratings of 9.82%.

In late March, the results of "My Leader, My Group" were even more jaw-dropping. Kang Honglei's new drama was launched on major TV stations. The ratings were ridiculously high when it first aired, and the reputation was so good that it exploded.

The popularity of several dramas is still there, and the ratings for the reruns are still fierce. It is understandable how difficult it is for "Insidious" to stand out against the pressure.

Zhang Jing and Hua Ming looked worried all day long, pointing to the copyright and subsequent advertising revenue.

Although there was insufficient funds for publicity and distribution, the two relied on their strong connections to jointly carry out several publicity campaigns with four satellite TV stations.

A few days after the filming of "No Man's Land" was completed, Lu Yuan and the crew met up and took turns running around four provinces.

The purpose is very simple, which is to arouse public opinion and create momentum for the final launch of "Latent".

March 3, Changsha, Lu Yuan’s last interview.

At the door of the hotel, He Jiong was the first to reach out with a smile on his face: "Hello, Teacher Lu."

Lu Yuan looked at the short and thin host walking towards him, and also smiled and stretched out his hand: "Hello, Teacher He. It's our first time meeting you. I've known you for a long time."

Why are you so surprised that your reputation is so great?
Lu Yuan explained: "When I was a kid, I watched the program "Windmill" that you hosted on CCTV."

In 1995, He Jingnian hosted the CCTV children's puzzle program "Windmill". He was only in his early teens at that time, so it was normal for him to watch it.

He Jiong raised his head and stared at this tall and popular young man, and suddenly felt that time was not forgiving.

He smiled and said, "Well, thank you for giving me the illusion that I am about to retire."

"Haha, that's not possible. Teacher He will definitely become an evergreen tree in the hosting industry."

As the first-round broadcaster, Mango TV also made great efforts to sell advertisements for the launch, and it was surprising that the mainstay of the show was released.

While exchanging greetings, He Jiong was also silently sizing up Lu Yuan.

Happy Camp, Tian Tian Shang Shang, several programs on Mango Channel invited Lu Yuan once or twice, but he turned them down for various reasons.

This guy is very low-key. After becoming famous, apart from a high-priced date with Luyu, he has never appeared on any other talk shows.

If it wasn't for the promotion of the new drama, he most likely wouldn't have come.

The two joked and walked into the hotel's reserved box side by side.

After sitting down, He Jiong said with a smile: "I have invited you several times without success. I heard that I would do an exclusive interview with you, but I worked hard and finally got this opportunity."

He was telling the truth. The main station was hesitant between him and Wang Han. In the end, because Lu Yuan and Xie Na had filmed "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" together, he got this opportunity.

Each satellite TV station has concluded that there is one brother and one sister. The first sister on Mango TV is undoubtedly Li Xiang, and the first brother is currently Wang Han, who is currently in the leading position.Lu Yuan waved his hand and said: "Teacher He is so generous. The reason why I didn't come here is mainly because I am a stupid person so as not to be embarrassed on the show."

"Teacher Lu, you, haha." He Jiong laughed. He didn't believe even a single word of this. It was not like he had never heard of Lu Yutong's name, and the tragedy of Lu Yu was vivid in his mind.

People in the circle say that He Jiong is a kind person and has high emotional intelligence. Now that we meet him, we find that this is indeed the case. He treats people and things like a spring breeze.

He Jong had the same feeling when communicating with Lu Yuan. He really didn't have the airs of a first-line star, and was much more pleasing to the eye than Du Chun who came last time.

The two chatted more and more happily.

"Are there any topics that we cannot talk about in the afternoon interview?" He Zong asked.

Lu Yuan waved his hand: "I'm fine with it. There's nothing we can't talk about. Of course, if there really is, I won't tell you if you ask me."

"Hahaha."

"This stinky tofu is good, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It smells stinky and tastes delicious."

"I was worried that you wouldn't be able to get used to it."

"No, all the dark dishes my mother and sister cooked when I was young ended up in my stomach."

Afternoon, Mango TV, studio.

Lu Yuan handed the interview outline to Wu Lang, looked at the camera next to him, and nodded to He Jiong.

"let's start."

"it is good."

The two of them sat opposite each other on the sofa. Lu Yuan held up the microphone and said first: "Hello friends from Mango Channel, I am Lu Yuan. I wish you all good health and happiness."

After saying hello, He Jiong asked: "The media says that you have a wide range of dramas. Since your debut, you have been involved in costumes, martial arts, military, history, cities, and espionage. Are you planning to film all types of dramas?"

After Lu Yuan went through the outline, he already had a draft in mind and said, "I won't make an anti-Japanese drama."

"why?"

"It is not only a TV series, it also involves a correct view of history. When I think about the future anti-Japanese dramas that people born in 00 or 10 will see today, do they think that anti-Japanese resistance is like that? Wearing fur coats and holding rifles, The man is like Pan An, and the woman is like Liu Rushi, who flies into the sky and escapes from the earth, and kills the enemy's head with darts from hundreds of miles away."

Lu Yuan's words are bound to spark controversy if they are released. This is destroying other people's jobs. It is too generous to promote a drama.

He Jiong thought in his mind, but followed his words: "But don't you think there is very little you can do?"

Lu Yuan nodded his head lightly and thought for a while: "This can only rely on the cultural awareness of the industry. As an actor, I can only improve my awareness of discrimination and improve my cultural awareness little by little. Culture is particularly important to me. Film and television dramas must respect culture and export correct concepts."

"Then what do you think as an actor, what can you contribute to this society?" He Jiong's expression became serious.

"Emotions, benign human emotions, towards the country and the family."

“So what do you think is an actor’s responsibility to society?”

"Actors are different from ordinary people. They have an amplifying effect. Those young audiences will unconsciously take us as a benchmark, so they must be more strict with themselves. On the way here, I talked with my mentor Wang Jinsong, and he said The important thing for an actor is self-discipline, not being able to say or do everything."

He Jiong smiled meaningfully: "But there are still many actors who don't understand it."

Lu Yuan laughed along, but didn't say anything. He could say some things, but not others. He was just promoting the new drama, and there was no need to involve himself.

Seeing him smile and say nothing, He Jong changed the topic: "You seem to rarely appear on the show?"

"Actors who frequently appear on camera and are too high-profile actually shorten their acting lifespan."

"Aren't you worried that the audience will think you are too cold?"

Lu Yuan stood up and said, "I'm 1.8 meters and a half tall, so I'm pretty tall. My body temperature is 37 degrees, so it's not like I'd be cold."

"Hahaha."
