Chapter 614 I Am Not the God of Medicine
While Ding Xiu was busy preparing for the early stage of I Am Not a God of Medicine, a great drama was released in China.
In the Name of the People.
The ratings broke 8 in just a few episodes.
So scary.
At the beginning, Zhao Dehan ate noodles and the audience was amazed. His peers praised the drama.
It is said that the combined salary of dozens of veteran actors was only tens of millions.
In his spare time, Ding Xiu also took the time to watch it. It was indeed good-looking, with many masters, first-class acting skills, bold plots, and fierce scale.
It is no longer the era of satellite dishes. Set-top boxes are used, which are charged.
Not many ordinary people watch TV dramas.
But in this environment, In the Name of the People can break 8, which shows how fierce it is.
The rise of this drama has given many people in the industry hope.
It is not that ordinary people return to TV, but that the authorities are lenient with the scale of TV dramas.
In the past, this kind of plot would not be able to pass the script review, let alone release, but now it can be broadcast on CCTV.
In other words, if the same type of subject matter is filmed again, it will most likely pass the review.
The action of the General Administration of Optoelectronics was undoubtedly a shot of stimulant for everyone.
Ding Xiu was a little worried about the pole dancing and sex scenes in Medicine God, but now he is relieved.
In May, Medicine God officially started filming.
"I wish Medicine God a good start!"
At the scene, the director led everyone to worship gods, burn incense, and offer pig heads.
Ding Xiu asked a Taoist priest to calculate the date and time for good luck. The older he is, the more he believes in this.
With hundreds of millions of funds invested, it doesn't matter if there are tens of thousands of dollars of pomp.
Buy peace.
After taking a few symbolic photos, the crew returned to the city to attend the launch conference.
The scene was huge, with hundreds of media people crowded in, and dozens of media vying for interviews and reports.
Wang Chuanjun, Zhang Yu, Zhou Yiwei and others were a little restrained. The three had never seen such a big scene.
In his heart, he thought he was worthy of being Ding Xiu.
This is the benefit of filming with a big crew and big actors. There is always exposure and the chance of becoming popular is very high.
After the launch conference, it was already dark and everyone went back to the hotel.
In the evening, the media began to report on I Am Not the God of Medicine.
"Can Ding Xiu handle a realistic film?"
"This old man has started to change his track again. Okay, bad guys, poor people, rich people, everything."
"I hope to give everyone a different feeling. I look forward to it."
"The lineup is good, Ding Xiu and Yang Mi are the first, followed by Zhou Yiwei, Wang Chuanjun, and a few veteran actors."
"It's May now. According to the normal progress, it will be completed in August. The post-production will be four months, which means that the production of this drama will be completed by the end of the year, and it may be released during the Spring Festival."
"Qin Dynasty Entertainment is very strong this year. Including I Am Not the God of Medicine, there are four or five dramas at the same time It has been produced, right? The last time I saw such a big scene was at Huayi ten years ago. "
"I didn't expect that Da Mimi would come back after all these twists and turns."
"Alas, we have to wait until next Spring Festival to watch it. How can we endure it? Can't it be faster?"
"Don't panic, everyone. This summer, Ding Xiu will have a drama released, Day and Night Chasing Murder, a criminal investigation drama, which is quite good."
"I heard it's a web drama. I wonder if it's a crappy movie to make money."
"What, Ding Xiu is filming a web drama? Brother Xiu, what difficulties have you encountered?"
"Day and Night Chasing Murder" was finished quite early, almost a year ago, and Ding Xiu hadn't started filming Eternal Love at that time.
The post-production of this drama was slow. In order to present the best results, it was cut again and again to ensure that no minute was redundant.
There were also supporting roles and dubbing, and the actors themselves were tried to appear.
It took a lot of time.
It was delayed to this summer.
Calculating the time, it may overlap with Eternal Love, but one is online and the other is on satellite.
In June, Ding Xiu started filming for more than a month, and the first episode of Eternal Love was broadcast.
The first episode's lineup of gods and goddesses directly brought the emotions to the fullest, including Ding Xiu, Yang Mi, Zhang Zhiyao and others.
"Oh my god, these two old men are really good-looking."
"Da Mi Mi's ancient costume is so ugly."
"Hahaha, Ding Xiu has gained weight, but the foundation is still there, and he still looks good."
"After many years, I saw Brother Xiu in ancient costume again, it's been a long time since I last saw him."
"I hope this drama won't be so cruel, and everyone will have a good ending in the end."
"The person above, give up, do you know why it is called Three Lives and Three Worlds? Because the road of love is bumpy, and there is only one ending after three lives and three worlds."
"It's adapted from a novel. If you like it, you can go and read the original ending first, I won't spoil it."
I have to admit that although costume dramas have been everywhere, the most popular TV series on the market in the past two years are still ancient idol dramas.
Although the audience has been scolding the gods for not doing business and dating all day long, and their clothes are all mourning clothes, every time the ancient idol drama is broadcast, there will still be a large number of viewers to watch it.
Two popular male and female protagonists, plus a few old handsome guys who were very popular when they were young, plus a well-known novel IP, this is the code for traffic.
The producers are not stupid. They must have done market research before filming and know what the audience likes to watch, so they shoot what they like.
In fact, as long as the audience doesn't watch it and it flopped, no film and television company will shoot similar dramas next year.
Ding Xiu is working hard on the set of I Am Not a God of Medicine, and outside, Love and Destiny is a mess.
Occupies the top of the ratings of major TV stations.
Yang Mi and Reba are popular again.
Eternal Love was broadcast for a few days, and the web drama White Night Chase was also broadcast.
Also starring Ding Xiu.
After the first four episodes were broadcast.
"Is this a web drama?"
"Who dares to say this is a web drama? I will eat him up."
"This picture, this camera movement, this framing, it's basically a TV series, okay, no, it looks more refined than a TV series, almost comparable to a movie."
"The current web drama market is too competitive."
"I still remember that web dramas in the early years were all shot with mobile phones. Now it's only been a few years, and it's getting more and more outrageous. Grave Robbers' Chronicles, Soul Ferry, White Night Chase, each one is better made than the other."
"I hope all directors will not focus on TV dramas, but also watch more web dramas and consider the feelings of the audience."
"We, the audience, are not interested in people, as long as the drama is good, we don't care what platform it is on."
The audience of the online platform is not less than that of the TV drama audience, and even more. White Night Chase has only aired four episodes, and there are hundreds of millions of clicks.
Even the official came out to praise the drama, saying it was a milestone for online dramas.
Two popular dramas were being broadcast, and as the person involved, Ding Xiu was drinking in a noisy bar at this time.
Of course, it was filming.
"Sihui, why are you here? Go dance, the customers are urging you."
"She won't dance today."
"Brother, this is her job. If she doesn't dance, who will?"
"You dance."
"I dance?"
"Dance or not?" Cheng Yong, played by Ding Xiu, looked like a nouveau riche. He threw a stack of money on the table and asked the male manager of the bar to dance.
"Brother, this is not appropriate."
"Dance or not."
He threw another stack of money.
"Dance or not."
The manager licked his lips, and the next second he appeared on the stage and danced pole dancing, and his dancing was very coquettish.
He even took off his clothes while dancing.
Everyone in the dance floor laughed and cheered, and the atmosphere was very lively.
In the booth, Cheng Yong and his group laughed.
After a long time.
"Cut, passed!"
"Next, Yang Mi, Ding Xiu, Wang Chuanjun, get ready."
The next scene is Lv Shouyi, played by Wang Chuanjun, bringing Cheng Yong to the bar to find Sihui, played by Yang Mi.
They just happened to see her dancing on the stage.
These bar scenes were filmed together. Today, Yang Mi had to shoot three dancing scenes in total, which required a lot of physical strength.
