Chapter 303 Small Alley
This is not Wang Shu boasting, but a fact.
These days, only a small number of people go to cinemas and spend money to watch movies. More people watch TV series at home.
The type of TV series that most addicts young ladies born in the 80s and 90s is idol dramas.
Although "Witch Sui", "My Love from the Star" and "Secret Garden" were TV series broadcast during the past half year, they did not cover the whole country in such a short period of time.
But the idol drama "My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox" has been broadcast on many local stations. Not only has it been watched by many viewers, but it has also covered a wide range.
It is now 2007. Unlike the 4G era many years later, it is impossible for anyone to watch any TV station they want anytime, anywhere.
The market share of Yangshi TV Station is high precisely because this TV station can be watched nationwide.
As for satellite TV stations such as Mango TV and Beijing TV, unless a set-top box, closed-circuit TV or satellite TV is installed at home, it will not be available in many areas.
Therefore, even if many idol dramas such as "The Witch Sui" have been broadcast on satellite TV stations such as Mango TV and Beijing TV, it does not mean that audiences across the country have watched these idol dramas. .
In many areas, we simply don’t know.
The star distribution of TV series is divided into one round, two rounds and multiple rounds.
"Witch Sui", "My Love from the Star" and "Secret Garden" will be broadcast on Mango TV, Beijing TV, Zhejiang J TV and Shancheng TV respectively.
The geographical coverage is central, northern, western and eastern.
It seems to cover most of the mainland, but in fact, if there is no set-top box, closed-circuit TV or satellite pan, rural areas in many provinces cannot even watch the provincial satellite TV station.
You can only watch terrestrial channels such as provincial comprehensive stations and municipal TV stations.
The first round of star placement means that "Witch in Suit", "My Love from the Star" and "Secret Garden" can only be broadcast on Mango TV, Beijing TV, Zhejiang J TV, and Shancheng TV within two years. These four satellite TV stations broadcast it.
Only after the two-year deadline has passed, these idol dramas can be promoted to stars in the second round.
At this time, it can be broadcast on satellite TV stations in other provinces.
The same goes for the subsequent rounds.
Of course, if it is broadcast on a terrestrial channel, it is not subject to this restriction.
Wang Shu did indeed sell the TV rights of these idol dramas to many terrestrial channels.
Even so, it cannot cover the whole country.
But no matter what, after all, several idol dramas such as "My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox" have been aired on several satellite TV stations, and have also been aired on many terrestrial channels.
Therefore, many people know Wang Shu through these idol dramas.
The lady at the front desk of the hotel where the crew stayed knew Wang Shu through these idol dramas, not through movies or his status as a great director.
In short, in this era, the main channel for ordinary people to recognize stars in the entertainment industry is television, not movies and the Internet.
For example, Hu Ge, Liu Yifei, Liu Shishi, Tang Yan, Zhao Yanzi, Li Binbin and others all relied on the TV series of this era to achieve high popularity.
However, many movie actors of the same era are not as famous as those TV drama actors who struggled in various ways after squeezing into the film industry and did not become famous.
Wang Shu heard Mei Ting's teasing words and said with a dry smile: "Many young girls chase stars. When they understand that celebrities are actually no different from ordinary people, they will not be like this."
"I heard them say in the past few days that many people know you because of "My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox", but not much about movies like "The Tuner" and "Space Traveler"." Mei Ting blinked. .
Wang Shu responded: "This is normal."
"Across the country, there are not many counties with movie theaters."
"Even if there are, I am willing to spend money to go to the movie theater. There are also few people.”
“If you don’t have contact channels, you won’t know.”
Speaking of this, he then mentioned several idol dramas such as "Witch Sui", "As for "Witch Sui", these idol dramas produced in the second half of last year, they have not yet completed their second round. In addition, The terrestrial channels don’t cover this place, so it’s normal that they haven’t watched it.”
Mei Tiao also knew this was the reason, she was just looking for a topic to talk about.
Then he joked with a smile: "According to what you said, wouldn't they like you even more when they watch idol dramas such as "Space Traveler" or "My Love from the Star"?"
Wang Shu gave a speechless look when he heard this, and Mei Ting laughed happily.
The two left the large front door of the hotel and entered the dim street in a blink of an eye.
Nights in small counties are not as brightly lit as those in big cities. Generally, only the main roads have dim streetlights on both sides, and the county town nightlife spots around the squares are brightly lit, while other places are dark.
At night, there is almost no business in the pedestrian streets in the county town, and they all close early.
Except for squares, Internet cafes, and KTVs, there are basically no other places to go in busy places.
“Where to go?” Wang Shu asked sideways.
He was not familiar with this small southwestern county. Apart from knowing a few nearby streets, he was blinded by other places.
"Let's take a walk." Mei Ting took advantage of the night and reached out to hold Wang Shu's hand, smiling like a flower and saying.
After saying that, he added, "Every day I'm either on the set or in the hotel. I'm so bored, so come out and relax."
"Okay. I'll follow you. Wherever you go, I will Just go wherever you want." Wang Shu stopped and touched her face.
Because the night was very dark and the surroundings were dark, Mei Ting became more courageous. She stood up on her tiptoes and kissed Wang Shu on the face. Then she raised her lips and smiled: "Let's go. Although it's dark and I can't see anything, I'm very happy to have you here."
Wang Shu listened to Mei Ting's love words and pulled her into his arms. He lowered his head and kissed her.
Mei Tiao did not resist, but responded enthusiastically.
After a long time, their lips parted.
Wang Shu wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and said softly: "Let's go and walk around."
"Yes." Mei Ting took Wang Shu's hand and responded obediently. .
The two of them followed the location in their memory and came to the county square leisurely.
Because there are many newly built properties next to the square, there are many people in the square at night, mostly families taking their children out for a walk.
In addition, there are many vendors setting up street stalls.
Wang Shu and Mei Ting did not go to the square, but looked at it from a distance and then walked around.
After all, both of them are stars, and the news that the crew is here to shoot has already spread. Even if they are fully armed, they will be recognized if they run over.
Walking around the square, thinking of taking a shortcut back, I suddenly entered a dark alley.
The two of them had never been to this place before, so they could only walk back in the direction they came from.
“What’s the sound?” Mei Tiao’s ears were pointed and she suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the alley.
When Wang Shu heard this, he suddenly panicked and stopped immediately.
After all, he can be reborn. It doesn't seem impossible if there are some supernatural phenomena.
Is it possible that this person is fooling around in vain?
"Ah~"
"Pa~"
Mei Ting also stopped, subconsciously listening with Wang Shu, and vaguely heard some noises.
The two looked at each other.
Although they can't see each other because of the darkness, they both know what they are thinking. "Shall we go back the way we came?" Wang Shu suggested.
As he finished speaking, the people in the alley seemed to hear their voices, and the movement suddenly became violent.
Mei Ting was speechless, took Wang Shu's hand and turned around to leave.
Wang Shu was also speechless and followed Mei Ting's footsteps.
Waiting to retrace his steps and return to the square, Wang Shu complained: "The world is declining. To do such a thing in broad daylight in full view of everyone, I really don’t know what to say."
When Mei Ting heard what Wang Shu said, she couldn't help but roll her eyes. She said, "Where is it in broad daylight and in full view of everyone? Is it a place that is clearly dark and no one is there? If we hadn't happened to pass by, everyone would probably have encountered it. How about being alone?"
Wang Shu looked at her sideways and pretended to be speechless, "You said this as if we were disturbing their good deeds?"
"Isn't it?" Mei Ting blinked and asked.
"Well, when I came here just now, I saw a very dark road. Should we go for a walk?" Wang Shu suddenly suggested seriously.
“What do you want to do?” Mei Ting asked with pretense of disdain as if she had seen through her thoughts.
"See if there is anything like what we just encountered on that road, and go disturb them." Wang Shu said with a smile.
“You can go, but I won’t go.” Mei Ting snorted.
"It's too dark. I'm a little scared to go alone. Please come with me." Wang Shu persuaded me kindly.
"No, I don't like to disturb others on purpose." Mei Ting said.
As the two of them bickered, they had already reached the path Wang Shu had mentioned.
"Did you see that there is a dark alleyway inside that road, just like the one before." Wang Shu pointed to the location and said.
Mei Ting pouted, as if she would not be moved no matter what Wang Shu said, "Anyway, I won't go."
"You really don't want to go?" Wang Shu heard this, Suddenly he looked at her seriously.
Mei Ting used the dim light to look into Wang Shu's eyes. She was worried that Wang Shu would be angry if she continued to refuse, so she remained silent for a while and did not dare to speak.
Wang Shu noticed the pleading look in Mei Ting's eyes, then gently pinched her face and said with a smile: "I'm kidding you, I don't really want to go in."
Mei Ting breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, suddenly fell into his arms, and hugged him tightly.
She knew in her heart that Wang Shu must have had thoughts when he encountered that kind of thing just now.
The so-called walking around in the lanes is most likely a reenactment of what we encountered before.
There is only one reason for saying this now.
Love.
After a while, Mei Ting looked up at Wang Shu with big watery eyes, and said softly: "If you want, go back to the hotel and I will come to your room."
"Fool!" Wang Shu He pinched her face.
When Mei Ting heard this, she smiled silly at him.
“Let’s go back.” Wang Shu said with a smile.
"Yes." Mei Ting responded obediently.
Mei Ting held Wang Shu's hand and walked on the road, looking sideways at him, and couldn't help but ask again: "Do you want me to go to your room?"
"What?" Wang Shu pretended not to hear. .
"I asked you if you want me to come to your place later?" Mei Ting thought Wang Shu really didn't hear her, so she said it again obediently.
"I prefer to be in the alley just now." Wang Shu couldn't continue to pretend not to hear at this moment, so he said this immediately.
The two of them stayed in a hotel. If Mei Ting stayed in his room overnight, people would definitely know about this.
Obviously, when Mei Ting said this, she didn't care if others knew about it, and she even wanted to see it known.
In this way, it is logical to confirm her relationship with Wang Shu.
It can be said that her words are also a round of temptation.
When Mei Ting heard this, she immediately rolled her eyes at him with a dark face and snorted: "Then I won't go."
Wang Shu heard this and said quickly: " No, I was just joking.”
"I don't care if you're joking or not, I'm not going anyway." Mei Tiao said arrogantly.
Hearing this, Wang Shu pretended to be astonished and asked: "Really not coming?"
"No!" Mei Ting continued to snort arrogantly.
Wang Shu sighed softly, pretending to be helpless and said: "Okay, it just so happens that I'm tired from working so hard every day while filming, so I might as well rest."
"." Mei Ting heard this. , looking at Wang Shu who didn't seem to be fake, and fell silent.
Wang Shu then said: "If you come to my room at night, I will definitely not have enough energy to make a good movie tomorrow."
"And my schedule is very tight, so I can't delay."
"It is very important to ensure rest."
"." Mei Ting was speechless when she heard this.
What Wang Shu said was indeed true, and she could not refute it.
It is precisely because I cannot refute that I am speechless.
But she also had her own face, and she snorted dissatisfiedly: "Why do you mean that if I go to your place at night, you won't have enough energy tomorrow?"
"If you don't mess around, Will you have no energy?”
Wang Shu immediately said something beautiful, “With a beautiful woman in his arms, how can anyone be able to remain calm in her arms?”
Although these words were self-defeating, Most of them are praising Mei Tiao for her beauty.
"That's because you don't have enough concentration on your own. How can you blame me?" Mei Ting raised her lips and snorted.
This is obviously what she likes to hear, and she is a little arrogant emotionally.
"As long as you are a human being, even if you have a beautiful woman by your side, you will lose concentration. If you don't blame me, who should you blame?" Wang Shu continued to make wisecracks.
When Mei Ting heard Wang Shu’s rogue words, she rolled her eyes at him again.
The two of them just talked to each other, talking to each other, and returned to the hotel.
Mei Ting didn't break into Wang Shu's room at night, and Wang Shu didn't break into Mei Ting's room at night.
The night passed and it was another busy day of filming.
In the blink of an eye, it’s April 21st.
The filming of "A Crowd of People" in a small southwest county has come to an end. The crew left some people here to finish the filming. Wang Shu and most of the crew returned to Beijing first.
After arriving in Beijing, you still need to rent a studio in the Beijing studio to continue filming.
The reason why he had not completed filming in the studio of Jingcheng Studio in one go was because there were many crews using the studio of Jingcheng Studio for filming, and he could not rent a suitable studio.
Now, it will be time for him to rent it in two days. After returning to Beijing, he can continue to complete the shooting with a little repair.
