Chapter 486

It was 7:30 in the morning when Lu Qi received the news.

At that time, I had just woken up, washed up, and was going to have a casual breakfast before going to catch the plane.

Then, Xu Guan knocked on the door. As soon as the door opened, the first thing he said was, "Lu Tai, the ratings of "Legend of the New White Snake" have risen again!"

Lu Qi was very calm. He turned his head and saw Xu Guanyi with dark circles under his eyes. He was a little surprised and asked, "How much? Eighteen? Twenty?"

Xu Guanyi said: "I received a call from the station at eleven o'clock last night, and it was thirty-five four."

Lu Qi nodded, and continued buttoning his buttons, but before he finished buttoning a button, he froze, turned his head slowly, frowned, and looked surprised, "How much?"

"Episode 10 last night, up to thirty-five points and four clean-up points." Xu Guanyi replied seriously.

He could deeply understand Deputy Director Lu's feeling at the moment, because after answering the phone last night, he had fallen into this feeling for more than half an hour.

Lu Qi froze in place, motionless.

After a while, he swallowed subconsciously, but his voice still sounded dry, "Thirty-five four?"

Xu Guan nodded, "Thirty-five point four."

"That's right? This data..."

"Absolutely!" Xu Guanyi replied: "I didn't believe it last night, I asked the people in the station to check it back for me, and checked it again this morning, it is absolutely correct!"

Lu Qi swallowed again.

He didn't button up the buttons, and he opened his cuffs, walked a few steps in place, then walked to the sofa, and sat down on his buttocks.

"Thirty-five four! Thirty-five four?"

He frowned, talking to himself, and his voice was up and down. Every time he said this number, he was full of various complex emotions.

Xu Guanyi didn't dare to speak, and just stood there in a daze, waiting for Deputy Director Lu's decision.

There is no doubt that 16.8 viewing points is a concept, but 35.4 viewing points is already another concept.

The former is a popular drama, which is worthy of all TV stations fighting for it, while the latter has already stepped into the threshold of classics-if nothing unexpected, no matter how many years have passed, as long as people mention 1999 In 2019, the launch of "Legend of the New White Snake" will surely become a node that people will never forget.

Two or three minutes passed, Lu Qi swallowed again, and spoke with difficulty, his voice was slightly strange, like two rusty knives rubbing against each other, and the rust fell down, "This ratings data... should be Has it surpassed "The Prosperous Age of Kaiyuan"?"

Xu Guan was taken aback for a moment, then quickly shook his head, "No! I couldn't sleep last night, so I checked the information on purpose. The highest audience rating of "The Prosperous Age of Kaiyuan" was 36.5."

Lu Qi breathed a sigh of relief, as if the ratings of "Legend of the New White Snake" did not exceed that of "The Prosperity of the New Century", and it seemed to have a special significance to him.

However, Xu Guanyi hesitated for a moment at this time, and added, "But judging by its posture, tonight's eleventh and twelfth episodes, even a little bit higher, surpassed "The Prosperous Age of Kaiyuan". There is absolutely no problem."

Lu Qi looked up at him in silence, then nodded slowly.

Xu Guanyi continued: "Once it surpasses "The Prosperous Age of Kaiyuan", the drama "Legend of the White Snake" will become the third highest rating of all domestic TV dramas in the past ten years! Considering "Journey to the West" and "Three Kingdoms" The special situation of "Romance", saying that it is the first place, is not a big problem. Moreover, it is still rising. I received the news last night and couldn't sleep. I have been thinking about it. This TV series is almost leaping every day. , How much will its ratings rise before it stops, I don’t have any idea in my heart.”

Lu Qi nodded again with difficulty.

At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door, and then a voice said from outside the door: "Director, it's time for us to have breakfast, and we have to leave at nine o'clock to catch the plane."

Lu Qi was silent.

So Xu Guanyi took the initiative to walk over and opened the door.

When Lu Qi's secretary came in, seeing Xu Guanyi, he was taken aback for a moment, then said hello, and then looked at Lu Qi who was on the sofa.

Lu Qi stretched out his hand to pinch his forehead in some hesitation, but after a while, he let go, stood up suddenly, walked around the room for two steps, and ordered: "Cancel the ticket!" Then he said to Xu Guan: " Old Xu, help me find out when Liao Liao will return to China! You also need to find out where she is now!"

When Xu Guan heard the words, he agreed first, and then said: "Now? She must be abroad now!"

Lu Qi looked up at him, and said slowly: "Don't talk about being abroad, even if it's on the moon, as long as it is necessary, we will fly there immediately!" After a pause, he said: "She is our greatest hope. !"

Xu Guan thought for a while when he heard the words, then nodded seriously, "Master Lu, I understand what you mean, I'll check right away!" After finishing speaking, he hurriedly opened the door and left, full of enthusiasm Very good looking.

Lu Qi's secretary was still in a daze, and when Xu Guan left, he asked, "Director, then shall we...not go back?"

"Go back?" Lu Qi smiled, "If we don't get the second round of this drama, we will never go back!"

His secretary was stunned when he heard the words, "Still fighting? Didn't you say...besides, you...don't be angry with Minghu Culture anymore?"

Lu Qi turned to look at him and smiled, "Angry?"

He thought for a while and said with a smile, "Yeah, of course I'm angry! But as long as the TV series in their hands can bring me a surge in ratings, what's the point of being angry? As long as they nod and give us the second round now, let I'm happy to serve Li Qian tea and water!"

…………

Waking up in the morning, Li Qian and Zhou Mo finished washing and went out for a jog together.

In the first month of autumn, it is still relatively hot at noon, but in the morning and evening, Shuntian Mansion has begun to feel a little cool. Running along the way, people kept saying hello to Li Qian, and Li Qian responded with a smile, and sometimes chatted with people.

To be honest, he is more like a person who lives here all year round than Zhou Mo.

In recent years, the residents in this alley have not only gotten used to the feeling of being neighbors with a big star like Zhou Mo, but also got used to seeing the celebrity couple running together and walking hand in hand from time to time.

The breakfast stand at the entrance of the alley was steaming, the two of them ran over and took a few breaths, Li Qian took out the change, the two of them bought the breakfast familiarly, and were about to carry it back, when suddenly a girl grabbed him Come on, the recording pen comes to you with a swipe of the brush.

Then I heard the girl speak very fast and authentically: "The ratings of "Legend of the New White Snake" reached an astonishing 35.4%. What do you think about this, can you tell me?"

From the corner of Li Qian's eye, he caught the camera not far away taking pictures.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, with a smile on his face, "Hey, just buy something early, why don't you take pictures?"

Many neighbors who ate here have experienced similar situations more than once, and they regard it as a little joy in life. While watching with a smile, they also interjected, "They interviewed us just now, and we all said that you filmed The TV series is good!"

"Yes, it looks good!"

"nice!"

"The white lady is so beautiful!"

Everyone was chattering and laughing.

Li Qian smiled, turned around and shook the tofu brain in his hand at everyone.

The female reporter said: "Just ask a few small questions, okay? Master, I am your loyal fan, and now I am also your loyal audience. Answer my two questions."

Li Qian was still carrying the tofu nao and deep-fried dough sticks in his hands, but he still raised his hand to protect Zhou Mo, and the two of them turned their heads and were about to go out.

The little girl was a little anxious, and she refused to stop chasing, "Can I just ask a question?"

Li Qian continued to walk out, and the proprietress at the breakfast point finished taking fried dough sticks for a customer, and shouted over here, "Hey, hey, Mrs. Zhou and Li Qian, I didn't ask you for money!"

Zhou Mo waved her hand, "I will continue to buy tomorrow, keep it!"

Seeing that Li Qian really refused any interviews as rumored, the female reporter couldn't help but shouted, "Isn't it okay to just ask a question? I'm an intern reporter. If I can get an interview from you, I can transfer it to you." I've become an official reporter, can you help me?"

Li Qian stopped when he heard the words, and turned to look at her.

Sure enough, the little girl still had a bit of a youthful campus atmosphere on her face.

So he sighed, "Okay, just one question, help me!"

The girl's eyes lit up when she heard the words, and she quickly turned her head to give the companion who took the picture a look. The young man came over a few steps slowly, and began to spot the click-click shots.

Zhou Mo took the initiative to take the deep-fried dough stick from Li Qian's hand.

Although this scene is not uncommon to be honest, many reporters have photographed it, but how should I put it, the picture of two top stars and top topic figures coming out to buy breakfast together, carrying tofu nao fritters, common people , Fans just never get tired of watching it, so the value is still great, and more shots are needed.

But at this time, the female reporter was in a bit of trouble, saying that she didn't think clearly, and when Li Qian finally agreed to be interviewed, she hesitated again—a lot of questions she wanted to ask, which one should I ask?

Then, well, although Zhou Mo's new album is also worthy of attention, who makes "Legend of the New White Snake" the hottest topic now?

So, she asked: "As far as I know, Bai Yujing had quit the showbiz for many years before filming your "Legend of the White Snake". Can you tell me why you decided to choose her to play the role?" Is it the role of the White Lady? How did you persuade her to come out and act again?"

Li Qian smiled, "You are too greedy, these are two questions. Only answer the first one, because she is the most suitable, thank you."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and walked away, saying as he walked, "Don't chase after me, keep what you say!"

The little girl wanted to cry, but seeing Li Qian walking away with the tofu brain, he turned to look at his little friend, and said with a sad face: "Is the question I asked too simple, and he answered it in a few words. "

The photojournalist looked at her in surprise, "It's not bad. I think it's enough to get these words out of his mouth! I have talked to so many reporters, and I can get a few words out of his mouth." There are not many here! Just these few words, you go back and add more oil and vinegar, and the editor-in-chief will give you a version of at least 1,500 words, don't worry!"

The little girl didn't believe it, "Really? But it's just a few words!"

The photographer said sternly, "But those words were said by Li Qian himself!"

…………

This morning, I don’t know how many TV station staff from all over the world who were planning to go home and even booked their air tickets suddenly decided to stay after receiving the news. Those who came to Shuntian Mansion and those who did not plan to come to Shuntian Mansion suddenly decided to book a flight ticket and fly directly to Shuntian Mansion.

In short, after receiving the data from Tan Dezhang on the phone, this night, Qi Jie felt that she slept more securely than ever. Although she was so excited that she couldn't fall asleep in the first half of the night, she slept for only four or five hours. When I woke up, I felt fuller and healthier than ever.

She knew that Li Qian had already done his job well, and he did it almost impeccably. The TV series "Legend of the New White Snake" was so good that all the TV stations had nothing in front of her. There is nothing left to say.

And next, what I need to do is to try my best to maximize the benefits of this TV series.

Of course, this kind of maximization does not necessarily mean that the most money will be sold. It is also a very important aspect that Minghu Culture, which will definitely embark on the road of film and television drama production in the next few years of planning, needs to be sold nationwide. Among so many TV stations, select a few to cultivate long-term partners in the future.

To some extent, this is even more important than selling a few million more now!

And this is the top priority of all her work in the next period of time.

In this regard, she is ready.

In fact, she was still having breakfast here, and before she went out, she had already received a call from the company. The security department specifically reminded him, "It's just after eight o'clock, and many people have already arrived at the door of the company." Already!"

Qi Jie knew that it should be the directors of the purchasing departments of the major TV stations. Maybe even have the level of deputy director.

In short, they are all held by other film and television companies like grandpas, and they may not be able to invite people in the past.

The rule of Shuntian Film Academy is that sophomores and juniors start school the earliest, because they need to cooperate with the school's arrangements to organize the welcome of new students, freshmen come next, and seniors start the latest.

In fact, by the time of senior year, there were almost no courses arranged by the school. Don't care how to stick to the true nature of the school, but the market environment is like that, as stubborn as Shunying, and they have to adjust their teaching plans according to the situation. At least, their course arrangements must be as convenient as possible for their students to go out for internships and prepare for the next graduation. For the future work, make a foreshadowing.

Therefore, in the next semester, regardless of the department or major, there is only one highlight for everyone, and that is: graduation assignments.

The acting department needs to arrange big plays, the directing department needs to produce its own small works, the production department, the photography department, the art department, etc. Anyway, the school wants to see you make something, and in the graduation scoring system of the film academy , this graduation homework accounted for a large proportion.

For those who study acting, no matter how high your test scores are and how good your theories are, it’s useless if you lose your temper as soon as you stand in front of the camera!

Sophomores and juniors have already started school, and freshman registration is in progress, but senior students like Li Qian and the others only need to report to the school before September 3rd.

Even if there are other arrangements, just hand in a leave note, and it will take a few months to approve it for you.

Zhu Qiang's play was completely wrapped up yesterday, and a group of crew members who were familiar with each other gathered together, and held a privately held a wrap-up banquet for himself in a lively manner. Of course, several important actors in the crew rushed over to congratulate Zhu Qiang on the finale. In the end, even the director Song Xudong came over specially and sat down to have a drink with Zhu Qiang, which is a digression.

Zhu Qiang has entered three groups so far. The first time it was a passer-by who only had a few lines to play as a cameo. After the camera was filmed, he disappeared immediately. The crew didn't even count his boxed lunch in the number, so naturally there was no impression.

But the second time, and this third time, he was basically able to get along well with everyone in the crew.

But this time, the situation is a little different from last time.

At first, he was just a small actor, happy to play a role, and got along with the crew when he was in a play, but later, as Zhou Yuhai said at the beginning, even though he himself still regarded himself as a small actor, he Those people around obviously don't think so anymore.

On Monday night, "Legend of the New White Snake" rushed to 16.8 points in one breath. When he woke up the next morning, he received more than a dozen calls almost non-stop. In the end, before going to the show , he even had to turn off his cell phone, which allowed him to calm down a little, and then found the feeling of the character.

As for those phone calls, of course, there are those who have heard of them but those who have never heard of them, famous ones and not famous ones, anyway, they are all from film and television companies and brokerage companies!

Some made appointments for dinner, some made appointments for a chat, some expressed their desire to come to the film and television city right away, and some made various promises directly on the phone!

Dai Yufeng, the artist manager of Dayi Film and Television Company, also called again yesterday, because she was the first manager who contacted him proactively, so Zhu Qiang was quite impressed with her.

On the phone, Dai Yufeng's attitude seemed quite different from last time.

She didn't say anything else, but said caringly: "I heard that you don't have a car, right? I asked your director, and he told me that your film is wrapping up today. In that case, the film and television city is far away from the city." Far away, I'll pick you up from the crew in the afternoon, okay, let's find a place, have a meal together, and have a good chat!"

But Zhu Qiang hesitated for a moment at that time, and told her decisively that he would have dinner with a few friends from the crew tonight, and declined.

Then, he chose to shut down.

But after a night of hangover, when he woke up the next morning, he packed up his things and prepared to leave the film crew silently, and took the bus back to Shuntian Mansion. However, just as he walked out of the hotel gate, he suddenly found several cars in the parking lot at the entrance suddenly opening their doors. Several men, women and men got out of the car one after another, their gazes were directly locked on themselves, and they rushed over quickly.
