Chapter 475

After studying hard all night, Dad Li already has a plan in mind.

He got up early the next morning, fetched a bucket of water, and went downstairs to clean the car.

It was Thursday, the school was still on summer vacation, and Dad Li didn't have to go to work yet, but the office workers had to get up early to go to work, and those who were far away even had to go out before seven o'clock.

Dad Li went downstairs at 6:30, and people downstairs kept getting up for morning jogging. When they passed by Dad Li, they greeted him politely. Passers-by at work greeted politely, and even joked with those who were familiar with him, "Brother Li, you are such an awesome waiter, sister-in-law won't be jealous, right?"

Father Li laughed when he heard the words.

Everything is completely the same as usual, and what is normal can no longer be normal.

But the more normal it is, the more abnormal it makes Father Li feel.

In fact, he really wanted to ask someone to ask: "Hey, "Legend of the New White Snake" was broadcast last night, didn't you watch it?"

But how should I put it, literary youths, especially old literary youths, are very thin-skinned. Father Li couldn’t bear to ask this. People who need to be more modest and polite.

In short, I like low-key pretense.

So, after cleaning the car for half an hour, Dad Li became more and more depressed.

In his opinion, that TV series is pretty good. Of course he doesn’t understand professional things, but watching a TV series is not for filming. Whether it’s professional or not, whether it’s good or not is up to the individual. Judgment is not?

In the end, he thought it was a pretty good TV series, but when he woke up the next morning, he found that there was no reaction in the community.

When he packed up the buckets and towels and went upstairs to eat, Dad Li was full of depression.

After breakfast, Mama Li hurriedly washed the pots and dishes, and when she was done tidying up, it was still Papa Li who drove her to work.

Maybe it was because Li's father looked unhappy, so Li's mother turned her head to look at him, then looked at him again, she couldn't help but pouted, "I'll ask for a leave later, and I'll go get my driver's license and ask my son to buy me a car. It saves you having to go back and forth to get them to pick you up and send them off again!"

At this moment, Father Li's mind was half on driving, and half on being depressed and puzzled. He didn't understand the meaning of what Li's mother said. He heard the words "Oh" first, and then agreed: "Yes, yes , This is a skill, and I still have to take a driver's license test. But you don't need to buy a car, this car is enough, and you usually go to work, you drive, you are far away, I just ride a bicycle and it's fine."

Li's mother became more and more dissatisfied, "I don't want your broken car, I will ask my son to buy me a Mercedes-Benz!"

Father Li turned to look at her in surprise.

Because normally, every time Li Qian wants to buy this or that for his family, she is always the first to refuse.

But at this time, Li Ma muttered a few words, another thought came up again, she almost forgot about the dissatisfaction just now, and turned to look at Li Pa, "Hey, tell me, why don't we both stop going to work? We can’t earn a lot of money, and if our son leaks a little between his fingers, it’s enough for the two of us to have a big meal. What’s the point of going to work! Don’t teach anymore, don’t you always want to write something, then I quit my job and concentrate on writing, and the two of us will go to Shuntian to live next to our son, okay?"

Father Li was stunned for a moment, "Not good! Not good!" After a pause, he said: "This is an old saying again, my son is going to be successful, we are not old after all, how can we be a burden at this time Anyway, I will not resign. I think teaching and educating people is very good. I don’t care about the salary. We are not short of money now. The important thing is to have a job. People only have things to do Only when you grow old slowly can you live a meaningful life! Otherwise, what’s the point of living in a villa, fishing and growing flowers every day... you will die so quickly!"

Mama Li curled her lips, another upset.

But while talking, the car has already arrived at the downstairs of the unit where Li's mother works.

Father Li stopped the car, and Mother Li got out of the car full of displeasure. Father Li thought about it, turned off the engine and chased after him. Also came over, it seems that she came to work, saw Li Ma, she walked over quickly, with a smile on her face, "Sister Geng, good morning, yo, this is Jian Tianer's delivery, you two have a good relationship !"

In front of outsiders, Li's father and Li's mother greeted them with smiles on their faces.

This is Li Ma's colleague, who is also from the finance department, and has been working with him for many years. Even Li's father has met him many times, so he is considered acquainted.

In front of outsiders, even if Dad Li has something in his stomach, it is not easy to say anything more. He greeted him and turned his head to leave. At this time, he heard the human say: "Hey, Sister Geng, that white snake last night Biography, did your Xiaoqian really take the picture?"

Father Li stopped when he heard Jiling and didn't leave.

Li Mama Geng Huizhen nodded with a smile, "Yes, I invested a lot of money, how about it, isn't it pretty?"

The man said at the time: "It's beautiful! It's very beautiful! Especially the white lady, she is so beautiful! The story is also beautiful!"

During the conversation, it was probably because he was used to staying in the office, and he was slick in everything, so he turned his head and said to Dad Li: "Brother Li, you have raised a good son!"

Both Li's father and Li's mother smiled shyly and smugly.

When the two of them went upstairs while talking, Dad Li stood outside the car and pondered for a while, as if he had figured out what was going on.

Dare to love is not that the TV series is not good-looking, but that everyone doesn't even know that there is such a TV series!

As for Mama Li's colleagues, it is estimated that Mama Li was out of sheer a few days ago, so she publicized it.

Father Li thought about it for a long time, and felt that this matter is very important. No matter how good the wine is, the alley is too deep. The publicity is obviously not in place!

I drove back home in the car and stopped by to buy groceries. When I got home, the more Father Li thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He didn't want to interfere with what his son was doing now. After all, those things were too unfamiliar to him. , I don't understand, it can only add to the confusion, but Dad Li thinks that the reason for selling things is that you can never go wrong again. After much deliberation, he still called his son.

Li Qian is in the recording studio. Rose Power's new album is two songs away. From the middle of the song, he basically followed the whole process. The rule is that during the recording period, big things are not allowed to be disturbed. But the problem is, the old man is on the other end of the phone, and when the phone is connected, Xu Min said a few words to Father Li, and when he heard that Father Li had something to do, Xu Min didn't dare to stop him if he had the guts, so he quickly bit the bullet and went. Knocking on the door, the recording was abruptly interrupted, and Li Qian was called out.

Li Qian was also taken aback, thinking something was wrong, he hurried back to his office to answer the phone, but when he asked, his father said: "This TV series is very good, but there is something wrong with your promotion? Many people I didn’t know there was such a TV show!”

Li Qian was a little confused, and couldn't help asking: "Dad, don't you care about my affairs? Why are you so worried today?"

Dad Li said: "I don't care about it, but now you guys have obviously made a good TV series, and no one will watch it. I'm afraid you will lose money! That's tens of millions. No matter how good you sell the album, I can't stand you paying so much!"

Li Qian was speechless, but his dad cared so rarely, and even raised his opinions. Li Qian didn't want to let him cool down, so he told him about the sale of 15 million yuan, and then carefully explained the things in this world. There is also the matter of word-of-mouth fermentation.

Father Li heard that 15 million yuan has already been settled, and his mood has improved a lot. Although he still has doubts about Li Qian's theory, after all, in his opinion, if one out of ten people read it, it is still worth it. It is possible to pass it on, but what if none of the ten people read it? Where can word of mouth come from?

However, Li Qian explained earnestly, telling him not to worry, even if he was still not at ease, he had no choice but to do so first. It's just that after hanging up the phone, he still couldn't help walking back and forth in the room, smoking, feeling a little anxious.

Suddenly, for a moment, he stopped suddenly, as if lightning flashed through his mind, and suddenly remembered something.

Isn't this Li Qian's popularity? He is also known as a great talent in the industry and also attended the Spring Festival Gala. He is considered one of the most influential figures in the domestic music scene. Of course, outsiders may not care about it, but locals in Jinan Prefecture do. They paid a lot of attention, so some local institutions soon knew that Dad Li was also a writer, and he was a serious writer who had published novels twenty years ago. So, it was done, and these writers associations in the province and the government flocked Dad Li was invited to join, and various newspapers and magazines also sent invitation letters one after another. To be honest, Dad Li has really published a lot of articles in the past two years.

At this time, remembering that he still had a pen in his hand, Dad Li suddenly regained his spirits - isn't his son's business his own business? Although the influence of my pen is limited, it may not be of much help, but at any rate, if there is a manuscript to brag about, it can always help more or less, right? That's a little bit better!

Just now, I heard my son introduce the struggle, suppression, and so on between the major TV stations. Dad Li didn’t understand it very well, but he probably understood the meaning. It's not easy for my son to go to other places to work alone. Seeing that a TV series with such a large investment is caught in the battle of the major TV stations, how much pressure should he have? It hurts just thinking about it! At this time, if I, the father, don't help him, who will help him?

Thinking about it this way, Father Li's eyes were clear, and he went into the study at that time and took out the manuscript paper.

And at about this time, at Huairou Film and Television City in Shuntianfu, the shooting scene of "Excalibur Lu Sanping" happened to have no part of his own scene in the morning. Zhu Qiang was sweating profusely with the crew, moving this and that, After watching the time of rest, I couldn't help but try to talk to the familiar staff of the crew.

As a result, there seemed to be no one who watched "Legend of the New White Snake" last night.

Zhu Qiang was faintly disappointed.

It was not only the first TV series directed by Li Qian, but also the first time he played the leading role. For Li Qian, and for him, although there is a big difference in the weight of influence, when it comes to the impact on personal destiny, Zhu Qiang's The side valued, even better than Li Qian!

The TV series hit the street, Li Qian just lost some money, he is still him, he is still the music talent praised by the whole country, he is still beautiful with three wives and four concubines, but if this TV series finally hits the street, no one will even watch it, Even if Zhu Qiang's first leading role was a complete failure, it would be no problem to play the leading role in that way, but if there is another chance to play the leading role next time, the producers and directors would have to think of his resume. Weighed it - this kid has precedents, he can't handle the show, he can't take the lead!

But looking at it now, the first two episodes were broadcast, and the effect didn't seem to be very good.

During lunch, Zhou Yuhai saw that the little brother was absent-minded, and after eating, he came over to comfort him, and said with a smile: "It's only the first day, don't worry, the quality of this film, you see , I saw it too, it’s not bad! It’s even far above the average level in China, so...give me some time, I don’t think it’s too late!”

Zhu Qiang explained embarrassingly to show that he didn't really care that much.

Coincidentally, just as he was talking on this side, his mother on the other side had already called and told her son: The whole family watched the TV series last night, and they all said it was good, and they all said he acted well!

The mother's voice is a bit loud, and she can't wait to yell at her son's awesomeness to everyone in the world. Although Zhu Qiang found a clean place to answer the phone, when he came back after answering the phone, there were still familiar drama staff. , and a few boys and girls who played small supporting roles in the play asked this and that.

Ordinarily, he starred in a TV series, which is worth bragging about, but unfortunately this drama is not currently on the air, and Zhu Qiang is not a high-profile person, so he just put it in a few words.

However, including Dad Li, Zhu Qiang, Zhou Yuhai and others, what they don't know is that just today, in many places across the country, some things are happening by coincidence.

In the office, when the inspection leader leaves, in the past, some people might talk about clothes, maybe some people would talk about cosmetics, but today, in how many offices, some people are excited to talk to colleagues around them. I introduced a TV series called "Legend of the New White Snake" that just started broadcasting last night.

On construction sites, in many job sites, between many adjacent shops on the street, among many neighbors who commute together, and even among many students spending their summer vacation together, you, me, me, and him , between him, you, and everyone, unknowingly, some people who watched this TV series last night began to recommend this TV series to people around them--the picture is very clear, beautiful, female The protagonist is very beautiful, and the story is very good!

In fact, because it is still in the middle of the summer vacation, as early as last night, after the first episode aired, some people started posting on the Internet, and when the second episode ended, many forums in China Posts related to "Legend of the New White Snake" exploded almost overnight, and when you read through each post, you will find that almost without exception, those posts are full of praise!

"My family leader has extraordinary skills, and he is still a great talent for filming TV dramas!"

"Just look at the level of these two episodes. It is rumored that the investment is 30 million yuan, so I didn't run away!"

"My opinion on the beauty of the lens in "Legend of the White Snake"!"

"When I saw it for five minutes, I was sure that I would never marry a white lady in my life!"

"Then upstairs, get ready to masturbate for the rest of your life, because the white lady is obviously the dish of my family's philandering leader!"

"Same as the eleventh floor, the leader is the sister-in-law!"

"It's beautiful, it's beautiful! It's just beautiful! No explanation!"

"I'm also infatuated with the white lady, how can I break it?"

"Go back upstairs, go and rob the zoo, check all the foxes, snakes, and horses inside, and release all the mothers. After a thousand years, you will have three wives and four concubines!"

"No kidding, as a semi-professional who has been in the TV industry for many years, let me seriously comment on the camera quality of the first two episodes of this TV series, and the strength of the storytelling!"

In short, all the fans of Li Qian on the Internet, after watching this TV series, couldn't help posting on the forum one after another, and what they said was exaggerated!

Most of them, of course, don't pay attention to how beautiful the picture is, how exquisite the camera lens is. At present, they just feel good in their hearts, but the special effects are good, but they can be seen at a glance, so it's a matter of course. To flatter God!

Then, of course, the focus is - the white lady is beautiful! it's beautiful! Very pretty!

…………

At eight o'clock in the evening, the TVs in many families are turned on, and many people are waiting in front of the TVs.

Miraculously, today was one minute earlier than yesterday, and finally, the title of the third episode of "Legend of the New White Snake" began.

After dinner, Dad Li was still contemplating and contemplating. When he heard the singing outside, he quickly put down his pen, turned off the light and ran out. While sitting down, he said to Mom Li: "After reading it later, go to bed early, I Gotta stay up late tonight and write something."

Li's mother didn't take it seriously, so she said "um", and then said indifferently: "A few days ago, Xiaoqian called to say that his TV series was going to air soon. I was talking about it in our unit, and it turned out Everyone watched it last night, and when I got to work today, everyone praised it! Even our director watched it and said that he liked it very much! They also said that they will definitely recommend it to neighbors to watch it later!"

Father Li didn't care at first, but after listening, he couldn't help turning his head to look at Mother Li.

My mind is a little numb.

Dare to pass on word of mouth like this, in fact, can it really form a word of mouth?

But thinking about it again, it still doesn’t work. No matter how word of mouth spreads, it only affects a few people. If you want to talk about influence, you still have to write articles. Once an article is published in a newspaper, how much influence will it have!

Mmm, must stay up late tonight and write something!

…………

The story of the third episode began quickly. Immediately after the previous episode, the case of Xiaoqing stealing the bank silver finally broke out. Xu Xian was arrested, but he refused to reveal that it was a gift from the lady. I was very moved, and then, the fantasy, or magical side of this TV series, began to show its power-Xiaoqing cast a spell, making Xu Xian obviously being beaten, but he didn't feel it, and the county magistrate who helped the county magistrate before Ma'am, but she was beaten and screamed in the backyard!

Here, I have to say that perhaps the vast majority of the audience has not realized anything, but from a professional point of view, the character image of Xu Xian, or Zhu Qiang's acting skills, has begun to become more and more distinct displayed.

In the version of "Legend of the New White Snake" in Li Qian's mind, Xu Xian, a slightly cowardly character, was played in reverse. On the basis that everyone has accepted that it is played by a woman, Xu Xian Many of this character's slightly feminine performances naturally no longer appear obtrusive, and they were accepted by everyone smoothly.

But in the version where Li Qian is the director, it is played by an actor.

Although Zhu Qiang is so handsome that many girls are envious, but a man is a man. If you want an actor to perform that kind of useless, slightly sissy and weak image, it will definitely be unpleasant, even... ...a little disgusting and annoying.

You know, Xu Xian's weak and gentle character is just to set off the heroism of Bai Suzhen, the white lady. He can be weak, but he must not be annoying!

So, don't say that for Zhu Qiang, a fledgling pink newcomer, even if the role is handed over to some well-known and more experienced actors, they may not be able to grasp the correct acting method.

But in this TV series, after Li Qian beat back and forth repeatedly, and directly stopped Zhu Qiang's play several times successively, forcing him to go back and continue to figure out the role, I have to say that he has indeed stabilized I have grasped the skill of playing Xu Xian well.

Xu Xian, who appeared in the TV series, is a bit nerdy, a bit innocent, and sometimes even makes people feel a little silly, which just sets off the omniscience and omnipotence of the white lady, but unfortunately, his simple and honest look The honest image, but not only is not annoying, but makes people think he is cute and silly.

It's just that in this play, the White Snake is really outstanding. Except for experts who will appreciate how difficult it is for Zhu Qiang to play this role well under the powerful light of the White Snake, for the absolute As far as most TV viewers are concerned, they may not even feel that the guy who plays Xu Xian has any acting skills-because he is just stupid and a bit bookish! How hard can this be?

Of course, for the TV series itself, his reputation, and its future commercial prospects, it doesn't matter whether the audience will recognize Zhu Qiang's acting skills, as long as everyone likes The White Snake!

As the plot progressed, Xu Xian was assigned, and then relying on Li Gongfu's relationship, he barely got a "parole" and was sent to work in a pharmacy. Then, such a handsome and bookish little Guoguo appeared, instantly Fascinated by the daughter of the owner of the pharmacy, at this time, Xu Xian withstood the test again, and once again conveyed to the audience his unwavering love for Bai Suzhen.

Without a doubt, this is one of the most important foundations of the entire show.

All the follow-up stories, the reason why everyone likes and loves to watch, all come from this!

Afterwards, the white lady and Xiaoqing arrived, and the white lady finally got rid of the matter of stealing the silver from the library. Then, on the one hand, she wanted to make Xu Xian stand on her own, and on the other hand, she also wanted him to leave the medicine shop. Little girl, so, she contributed money to help Xu Xian open a drug store. But then, the plague spread, and the whole city got sick. All the medical clinics and pharmacies were helpless. Only a Maoshan Taoist priest in this city, Wang Daoling, who sold folk remedies, had the most effective medicine. One bottle will guarantee recovery!

But at this time, the white lady was very curious, and then she found out that the Maoshan Taoist priest was an old acquaintance.

Following a short memory, Bai Suzhen's previous grievances with Toad King Daoling began to surface. Things seemed to be a bit complicated - on the one hand, her husband's pharmacy had almost no business, and on the other hand, the old enemy was arrogant. , even Xu Xian started to have a stomachache, and after Wang Daoling found out about the white lady, he deliberately humiliated and came to the door on his own initiative.

The story has progressed to this point, all the foreshadowing has been given, and the audience is naturally looking forward to the fight between the white lady and Wang Daoling, but it happens... the third episode is over!

Well, although it is only the third episode, everyone has already adapted to the frustrating editing and fragmentation style of this TV series. The music started to play, and some families started to discuss heatedly in front of the TV, while others got up and went to the bathroom one after another, preparing for the next episode.

At this moment, even Li's father was engrossed in watching it leisurely. He even forgot about what he was going to write when he saw that the climax came to an abrupt end. Quickly picked up a small notebook, and quickly wrote down my impressions of several important parts of this episode, and prepared to keep it as material.

However, what he didn't know was that when he was writing and drawing with a small notebook in his hand, the ratings of the third episode of this TV series had already been counted in Hunan Satellite TV.

When the call came to Tan Dezhang's office, after listening to the pleasant report from the staff there, he put down the phone, and he almost couldn't help jumping up——

It's only the second day!

In the first half of the third episode, the ratings had already reached 4.1 at the beginning, and by the end of the third episode, it had reached 4.3!

Compared with the first two episodes, the ratings of this third episode directly soared by 50%!

What does this mean?

HUNAN Satellite TV has tried its best to promote it before, but still only got a mediocre start, which shows that only one day has passed, and the word-of-mouth of this drama has begun to spread. signs!

No, it's not a sign anymore! This is a large-scale, large-scale diffusion!

The highest single-episode ratings of 4.3 may only be regarded as a normal preference for DONGFANG Satellite TV, ZHEJIANG Satellite TV, and Shuntian Satellite TV and other influential TV stations, and it is not considered outstanding. For those TV stations, to catch up with a good TV series, the ratings must exceed 5 points to be considered a real success.

But for HUNAN Satellite TV, a rating of more than 3 points is considered a basic success, and it is more than 4 points like now... For the whole year of last year, only one TV series was broadcast on the station. The last two episodes of the finale barely broke through this number! And this year, until now, no show or TV series has reached 4 points!

And now, "Legend of the New White Snake" is only the third episode!

Tan Dezhang couldn't sit still anymore, and couldn't help walking around in his office, thinking about it for a while, being smug for a while, and subconsciously worried for a while——Is the ratings wrong? If the statistics are correct, then, after being affected by word-of-mouth, will everyone switch channels to watch this TV series, will they not be too interested and will leave soon?

Caring is messy.

In the past ten years, it has been rare for Tan Dezhang to have such a panic.

His mind was so messed up that he didn't even notice that the fourth episode had started, and even if he noticed later, although his eyes stayed on the TV screen, his attention had already flown to nowhere up!

At this time, he even looked forward to the end of the fourth episode!

At this moment, what he looks forward to the most is the ringtone of the phone on the table!

…………

The story has progressed to the fourth episode, the first climax of the drama "Legend of the New White Snake", has arrived!

The scene where the White Snake fights Wang Daoling wisely, Xiaoqing takes the five ghosts, and uses flour to exchange Wang Daoling's medicines, the audience finds it novel and can't help but praise it! In short, all kinds of cool things are not good!

But then, with the development of the story, the weird incidents that had already been foreshadowed to remind the audience began to appear more frequently, including the five ghosts getting drunk and showing their true colors, scaring Xu Xian, etc. Finally, Xu Xian believed it. Under Wang Daoling's bewitching, he bought a magic talisman, and saw that a crisis was imminent for Mrs. Bai, Xiaoqing and the others.

It is conceivable that if such a critical place is kept on the set, it will not be Li Qian's style!

In this way, the fourth episode came to an abrupt end!

When the ending song sounded, there were obviously many more TV viewers tonight than last night. While enthusiastically discussing the plot with people around them, while reluctantly watching the trailer for the next episode at the end of the film, at the same time, I couldn’t help but start to slander again : Why is Mao gone in such a crucial place again!

And shortly after the end of these four episodes, when Dad Li locked himself in the study and was about to write hard, when Zhu Qiang turned off the TV and lay on the bed, he began to think about it over and over again, not knowing the future of this TV series, When it comes to where it will go, Tan Dezhang finally waited for the ratings data of the fourth episode that made him anxious.

The fourth episode, the highest ratings point is 4.6.

Compared with the third episode, it climbed 0.3 points again!

"call!"

After a burst of ecstasy, Tan Dezhang let out a breath slowly.

This time, my heart felt at ease.

***

At this time, I just want to ask: Is my update slow? slow? slow?

What about the monthly pass in your hand? What about the monthly pass? Where are the tickets?
