Chapter 224 Shanghai Beach premiere 1
At the moment before boarding the plane, Zhang Duo also arranged the preparation of Journey to the West. The so-called time waits for no one, and now it's August. According to the progress of "Xing Ye" in the previous life, it will take nearly four months to finish shooting. In addition to post-production, I'm afraid it will not be released until around the Spring Festival in 2003.
Although he was very busy, Zhang Duo still chose to participate in the premiere celebration of Oriental Satellite TV because he couldn't afford to lose. The teenager was proud, and I don't know how many people were waiting for him to make mistakes so that he could step on 10,000 feet. Zhang Duo can't give others such an opportunity under any circumstances.
In the morning, he received a phone call from Yang Hualong, with only a very short sentence. Zhang Duo, you really shouldn't refuse the kindness of CCTV!" After saying that, I hung up.
Listening to the beep in his hand, Zhang Duo made up his mind and took time to come to Oriental Satellite TV to participate in the premiere celebration. And he pulled Jin Yuzhi, who was unwilling to participate in the program.
When he got off the plane, Miao Fuping drove to pick them up. Seeing Zhang Duo, Miao Fuping looked very excited and waved from afar.
"Director Zhang, I'm finally looking forward to you! Hello, Miss Jin!" Miao Fuping stretched out his hands one by one.
Zhang Duo stretched out his hand politely, while Jin Yuzhi just nodded. Miao Fuping knew the origin of Jin Yuzhi, so he didn't say anything.
After getting on the bus, Zhang Duo asked, "Director Miao, how is the preparation in the station?"
Miao Fuping looked at his watch and said, "Now it's too late for rehearsal. After we go there, we have to prepare for the live broadcast!"
Zhang Duo said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I made a temporary decision, which made your plan completely messy."
Miao Fuping said quickly, "How come, Director Zhang is a distinguished guest that we can't invite. Our Director Zheng said that Director Zhang can also contribute at least 3 points of ratings."
"Taichang Zheng looks too highly of me. How can I have that influence!" Zhang Duo smiled and waved his hand and said.
All the way, there were some compliments and polite words. When I arrived at Oriental Satellite TV, as soon as I entered the gate, I saw Zheng An and a crew greeted them at the door of the building.
"Taichang Zheng, such a grand etiquette really makes the boy ashamed!" After Zhang Duo got out of the car, he said flatteredly when he saw this situation.
Zheng Anhe said with a warm smile, "Alas, Mr. Zhang, you are young and talented, and your future is unlimited. These etiquette should come to me today. If our old director hadn't recovered from his illness in the capital, he would have come out!"
Zhang Duo said "sincerely and frightenedly" and said, "How can that make it? Isn't it to break my life? Next time I have a chance to go to the capital, I will definitely visit in person!"
The group entered the building and arrived at the studio hall. Dou Huaide, Dou Yuanli, Lu Xianming, Xu Xiuyan and others were resting. Seeing that Zhang Duo and Jin Yuzhi arrived, they quickly got up to say hello.
After some makeup, at 7: 30, CCTV's "News Broadcast" was broadcast, and Oriental Satellite TV directly entered the "Shanghai Beach" opening ceremony.
In the data monitoring center of Oriental Satellite TV, Zheng An and Miao Fuping and Fang Jie, the director of the data monitoring center, stared nervously at several computers in the monitoring room.
After CCTV's CCTV News Network, there is also Focus Interview, so there is no way to start the grand ceremony, so we can only play a few trailers in advance. However, Oriental Satellite TV can have a 30-minute grand ceremony first, and then broadcast TV series, which can gather popularity in advance.
With the exciting song "Shanghai Beach" sounded, the opening ceremony finally began. Five minutes after the program, data began to come from the computer of the data monitoring center.
"Taiwan, Taiwan, Director! The data has come out, 3.0% of the national network!" Fang Jie looked like a ghost. In Oriental Satellite TV, any program with an overview rating is excellent! Now a live program prepared in a hurry has an audience rating of more than three points, which is really unbelievable!
"How much?" Zheng Anhe rubbed his eyes and looked unbelievable. "There are three ratings at the beginning of the ceremony. When it is officially broadcast, it will definitely be higher!"
"Definitely, Director, maybe we can see miracles!" Miao Fuping said with a smile. Because Shanghai Beach was bought by him, if he can create a viewing miracle, the biggest contributor is him. Promotion and salary increase are not considered, and the position of film purchase director will definitely be stable.
On the TV screen, the opening ceremony of Oriental Satellite TV's "Shanghai Beach" is in progress, and the extremely beautiful female host is interviewing Zhang Duo with a smile on her face.
"Director Zhang, can you tell me how you conceived the story of Shanghai Beach?"
Zhang Duo smiled and said, "I usually like to read books. There was a time when I especially liked to study the stories of the Shanghai concession in the 1930s. Suddenly, one day I found that Du Yuesheng, a Shanghai tycoon, had three major changes in his life. I planted three different people with three personalities, resulting in Ding Li, Xu Wenqiang and Feng Jingyao!"
"Oh, so Xu Wenqiang's prototype is not Du Yuesheng?"
"It's not that Ding Li is the character based on Du Yuesheng!"
"I don't know what Mr. Zhang thinks of Shanghai Fengyun, which is adapted from the story of Du Yuesheng?"
Zhang Duo laughed and said, "It should be a good film, but compared with Shanghai Beach, will it be a little different?"
"Why do you say that?" The hostess asked curiously.
"Because this is the most satisfactory film I have ever made, and it may also be the best TV series I have made in my life. At the beginning, I agreed with Satellite TV to hand in the film in June, but later the script was changed again and again, and it was really impossible to hand in the film on time. I called Director Miao Fuping and said, "Director Miao, no, I'm afraid I can't hand in the film on time. Director Miao said it doesn't matter, but the quality is important. Then he asked the leaders of the station to modify the terms of the contract, and then this well-made "Shang Beach" appeared!" Zhang Duo faced the camera and talked about it.
"Oh, is there such a complicated and tortuous story behind the scenes?"
"Of course, I was afraid that Director Miao would sue me for breach of contract at that time. Fortunately, I modified the contract later!" Zhang Duo said with an expression of fear.
In the data monitoring center of Oriental Satellite TV, Miao Fuping said, "I'm afraid that he will make a film to fool us!"
Zheng Anhe shook his head and said, "He is a feather-loving person now. How can he smash the signboard so easily!"
CCTV is currently conducting a Focus Interview, but Yang Hualong is watching the grand ceremony of Oriental Satellite TV's "Shanghai Beach" in a broadcasting room. When he saw Zhang Duo's conversation, he said hatefully, "This little Zhang Duo is really cunning. Speaking of the best TV series he made, isn't it better than Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils and Legend of the Condor Heroes? It's really disgusting!"
As he was talking, the mobile phone in his pocket rang. After answering the phone, Yang Hualong's eyes were wide open and the staring boss said, "What? The rating of the national network is 5.1? At present, it's just a promotional interview program, okay?"
After hanging up the phone, Yang Hualong also began to worry. Even if the ratings of the opening ceremony no longer continue to rise, but remain until the end, the premiere ratings of Shanghai Beach will have five points. Compared with CCTV, it is much worse, but in the local satellite TV all over the country, it is already very unbelievable.
CCTV's prime time, not every play can reach ten points of broadcasting ratings. The strength of Shanghai Beach is sloppy. It is really hard to say how many ratings can be broadcast under the audience of Shanghai.
Chu Guoliang stayed at home and was also watching Oriental Satellite TV. When he saw Zhang Duo talking on TV, he was really angry. He doesn't know that he is watching the data at this moment, so he is still full of confidence. He said hatefully, "Don't be proud now. I'm afraid you won't be able to find the tune when "Shanghai Beach" starts broadcasting!"
In the studio hall of Oriental Satellite TV, the live broadcast is still going on, but it is less than ten minutes before 8 o'clock.
At the data monitoring center, Fang Jie suddenly shouted, "Taichang, director, the ratings began to soar, 6:2, 7:1! It's rising too fast!"
Miao Fuping looked at another computer and said, "Taiwan, the audience share in Shanghai is increasing sharply, and now it has reached 60%."
"Oh, haha, that's great. It's worthy of being from my hometown. I know how to support our hometown!" Zheng Anhe laughed.
In fact, what he just said is a little ill, because Oriental Satellite TV is the satellite TV in his hometown, but "Shanghai Beach" was filmed by Zhang Duo from other provinces. Sunshine Satellite TV, the production company of Shanghai Beach, and Chu Guoliang, the boss, are serious local companies and locals in Shanghai. The platform that can be played is CCTV.
From this point of view, which TV series you support is to support your hometown. However, because Zhang Duo is more famous at present, Oriental Satellite TV has a larger market share in Shanghai.
Yang Hualong also got the news, but he was stunned, gratified and hateful. He was gratified that his eyes were as bright as a torch. When he was on the set, he saw the potential of Shanghai Beach. What I hate is the ignorant general of Oriental Satellite TV and the ignorant praise of Zhang Duo. Otherwise, CCTV will produce a film with ratings of more than 30 points tonight, right?
In the data monitoring center of Oriental Satellite TV, Zheng Anhe has lost his previous calmness. He looked at the watch from time to time and then asked, what the audience rating is? The ratings are about to come out. The closer the time is, the more nervous he is.
"Taichang, the current audience rating of the national network is 893%, the audience rating in the Shanghai area is 32%, and the audience share has reached 91 percent." Fang Jie couldn't close his mouth with a smile and said excitedly.
"Okay, that's good, the people in my hometown are interesting enough!" Zheng Anhe looked at his watch again and said, "Ten seconds left!" After saying that, Miao Fuping and Fang Jie began to count down with him. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, Shanghai Beach, has started broadcasting!"
