Chapter 231 It’s time to fulfill the bet, right?
Liu Qianqian was lying on the bed at this time, looking at the report on the computer about "The Ming Dynasty 1566" on the Sina website with tears in her eyes.
Rating 0.75%?
Why is it so low?
She has been watching dramas every night these days.
To be honest, if it was released before, she would definitely not like dramas with similar themes.
However, a few years ago, because of Xiaofeng, she supplemented her knowledge of Chinese history. After reading it for a long time, she really became interested in related books and stories.
Although she did not know the details of the Jiajing period, she still knew about celebrities such as Hai Rui, Zhang Juzheng, Yan Song and Li Shizhen.
When Liu Qianqian is watching the drama, it is easier for her to immerse herself in the plot.
If you really watch it carefully, you can easily realize that the subtlety of this drama is that it really shows the complexity of people and the corruption of Ming Dynasty officialdom.
Then I understood why Xiaofeng rated this drama so highly.
But what happens now?
Where did the audience’s aesthetic vision go? Why don't you watch this show?
If you do this, won’t I have to call Xiaofeng brother in the future?
Liu Qianqian felt ashamed just thinking about it.
At the same time, I also had extreme incomprehension and began to search for relevant reports on the Internet.
Why the ratings of "The Ming Dynasty" are not good.
As a result, the reasons summarized by the media are not much different from what Xiaofeng said.
The era is different, the platform is not good, and the main audience does not like serious historical dramas.
Not being broadcast on CCTV is the biggest problem.
She looked for corresponding comments from netizens, and there were almost no relevant discussion posts in the forum.
There were only a few posts that mentioned this show when it first aired.
It is said that many actors from "The Great Tang Empire" also played roles in "The Great Ming Dynasty".
That’s all.
As can be seen from the subsequent comments, the feedback is relatively average.
When some young netizens responded to the post, they clearly mentioned their opinions such as "I feel uncomfortable watching it", "I don't know who is good and who is bad", and "the words are so confusing that I can't understand them".
After flipping through it for a while.
Liu Qianqian gave up completely, buried her head in the pillow, and pretended to be an ostrich.
Tired, destroy it.
Anyway, it’s not time to cash in on the bet yet. You can hold on as long as you can. Come on, Sissi.
At the same time, news related to Zhou Runfa quickly appeared in the media and online portals.
"Zhou Runfa did not keep his integrity and broke the contract before the battle"
"Some people put forward a lot of conditions, and when filming was about to start, they said they did not want to act"
" Where is the professional ethics? 》
《40 million salary cannot buy sincerity》
All of them are revealing Zhou Runfa's previous breach of contract.
Although according to contemporary law, the absence of a formal contract does not constitute a breach of contract.
But there is morality above the law. In the simple concept of the Chinese people, if a verbal promise is made, it should be fulfilled under normal circumstances.
Especially according to reports, the crew has been trying to agree to various difficult conditions proposed by the other party.
Sincerity is not lacking, but I didn’t expect to be stabbed in the back.
In fact, the crew has been aware of it and has been trying their best to save it. However, the sincerity of the cooperation is not enough, and it will be a matter of time before the contract is broken.
Chen Linfeng was also mentioned in the report here.
I think Xiao Chen just expressed his honest opinion on the script. He never thought that someone would use his remarks as an excuse to stop the show.
Xiao Chen is just a child. How can you take advantage of a child like this?
When Chen Linfeng saw this, he almost stopped.
Although you wrote it like this and made me look like a white lotus, it made me a little happy.
But book fans don’t recognize it.
Indeed, there are comments about this matter on forums and reading discussion areas.
Old book fans don’t believe it at all.
"Xiao Chen is already an old man, how can he be considered a child? What child is not afraid of being scalded by boiling water every day, and it is useless to urge him to update."
"Indeed, Xiao Chen is so cunning. I don't believe what he said unintentionally."
"It must have been Wu Yusen who provoked him. Xiao Chen usually smiles at everyone. I heard that he has good reputation in the industry. He's getting better."
"There are rumors that Wu Yusen looked down on him and wanted to trick him into playing a small supporting role to promote Hong Kong and Taiwan actors, so he took revenge."
"This is right, it seems like something Xiao Chen can do."
"The truth is, Wu Yusen is Yuanyuan's second best."
"Director Wu, why did you provoke Xiao Chen?"
"..."
For Chen Linfeng's fan base, this incident did not cause much disturbance.
Old fans all know that he is a person who must retaliate against others, so doing this is in line with his personality.
Besides, it is not a proactive attack, but a defensive counterattack, which is not morally criticized.
But Zhou Runfa became the target of everyone's shouting and beating, especially Zhang Weiping, a loudmouth who also came out to speak at this time.
"When Zhou was in "The City of Golden Armor", he often played big names and went on strike three times. During this period, he had seven rooms by himself and insisted on arranging a RV with a toilet for him. The result was that It didn’t happen a few times in total.
If you ask me, this person has a problem with his professional ethics.”
Two incidents in a row prove that Zhou Runfa’s reputation is completely irreversible.
Gradually, it will be compared with that of later generations in the Internet era.
Although, this kind of reputation in public opinion will not greatly affect actors taking roles.
But when facing the scene, it may be a big thunder.
And the industry will be more cautious in the future and may be more cautious when inviting Zhou.
In the long run, it is quite harmful to the actor’s career.
Zhou Runfa himself also understands this truth. Others in Ailiken are watching the repeated reports about him in the country. I'm so angry.
However, he also understood that behind the public opinion, Huaying should be taking action, with the purpose of teaching him a lesson.
If you are not willing to endure this, there may be more serious measures to be taken later.
I have no choice but to endure it.
Chow Run-fa was originally very proud of his clever timing, and with the help of director Xiao Chen, he successfully resigned.
By then, Huaying and Chengtian, due to Xiao Chen's face, will probably cease their activities and let the matter rest.
He never imagined that some information he didn't know would cause a chain reaction.
The matter got so big that the bosses of both parties were forced to personally come out to settle matters.
In the process, Chen Linfeng also exchanged interests with Huaying to remove himself and gave him an eyedrop with his backhand.
Zhou Runfa sighed, feeling that he had shot himself in the foot.
Fortunately, the heat cannot last forever. As of now, we can only wait for the storm to pass.
At this point, this matter is completely settled.
The time comes to mid-January.
After the preparations for the "Exploding Drummer" crew were completed, Chen Linfeng sent a message in advance to notify the actors to join the group for script reading.
Only Li Xuejian was still entering the role and adjusting his state, but was not present.
The other actors, without exception, all arrived on time.
Liu Qianqian was obviously avoiding director Xiao Chen and didn't say a word when they met.
When Chen Linfeng would occasionally cast his gaze over, Sissi would immediately turn her head away from her, which could be said to be the ostrich behavior to the end.
He laughed secretly in his heart, sooner or later he will not be able to run away from you.
“Okay, everyone is here. Today is mainly about reading through the script. If you feel there is a problem, you can raise your hand at any time and we will discuss it on the spot and modify it as appropriate.
The final version with no objections will be the subsequent shooting script, and everyone will have to follow the script at that time. ”
Everyone nodded.
In this crew, no one has more authority than the director, and no one will think of adding extra scenes to themselves.
At this time, except for Chen Linfeng , Liu Qianqian, Ma Yue, these three important roles, as well as Zhou Jielun, Lin Junjie and Chen Yixun, are three celebrities in the music industry.
Zhou Jielun's role is a bit more important. He was the lead drummer of the non-professional band that the protagonist was in in the early stage. Later, he was called by the devil teacher to serve as a tool to encourage the protagonist.
Chen Yixun and Lin Junjie are purely guest stars.
Chen Yixun played the role of the little fat man in the movie of his previous life.
When the protagonist first came, he made no mistakes in his performance, but he was frightened by the teacher's high pressure and was not confident in his music, so he admitted that he had made mistakes.
As a result, the teacher kicked him out of the band.
This plot focuses on shaping the role of the teacher, which is also quite important.
Lin Junjie plays the role of the main drummer in the teacher's professional orchestra.
During a performance, I lost my sheet music because I went to the toilet.
The male protagonist takes over from now on.
Generally speaking, "Exploding Drummer" has very heavy musical elements. Inviting these three people to come will somewhat enhance the audience's viewing experience.
As a price, Chen Linfeng had previously agreed to make a guest appearance in Zhou Jielun's "The Secret That Cannot Be Tellable".
The filming has already been completed.
Chen Yixun and Lin Junjie, he promised to appear as a supporting singer at a certain concert in the future.
The whole script reading lasted for 3 days, and the script was slightly changed.
Mainly some minor changes, such as the character's speaking habits, and some minor flaws that were not noticed initially during the Chineseization process.
After there was no problem with the script, while everyone was present, Chen Linfeng also took everyone to take the makeup photos of the characters.
As the protagonist, Chen Linfeng is not very handsome.
On the contrary, in order to reflect the protagonist's wholehearted dedication to music, the clothes and hairstyle were designed to be relatively shabby.
The most common combination is a simple T-shirt and jeans.
The prop team has prepared several sets, which can be replaced at any time according to different scenes, but the overall style is consistent and they are all common clothes worn by ordinary male college students.
In addition, there is also a set of formal attire for the performance.
A total of two makeup photos.
In order to make the character stand out, Chen Linfeng has even let go of body control recently.
Now there is still a little bit of meat on his belly, and the muscles on his arms are not so obvious anymore. He fits the image of a good-for-nothing college student who usually only plays drums.
Zhou Jielun felt a little envious as he watched Chen Linfeng greeting the crew.
He was previously on the crew of "The Untold Secret". Although he was a director, he was in a hurry and didn't feel very accomplished.
Looking at Xiao Chen managing the crew now, he is so organized and like a boss.
This is called a real director.
It was already January 18th. Li Xuejian finished his preparations and came to the crew.
Just in time for the makeup photo shoot.
Li Xuejian's makeup is quite special. After being adjusted by the makeup artist, his eyes look more sinister.
Normally, he is a normal person, and maybe even a little kind.
This gives him room to express himself in the play.
How can you show the fickle side of your personality.
Chen Linfeng is looking forward to it.
At the same time, at night, Chen Linfeng blocked Liu Qianqian at the door of the hotel.
“Sissi, it’s time to honor the bet.”
