When Chen Qing arrived at the set by taking the subway, she noticed that many people on the set looked at her strangely.
In addition, many senior actors, as well as set managers, photographers, lighting, etc. who had previously ignored Chen Qing and turned a blind eye, all responded with the most enthusiastic smiles when they looked at her.
"Hello, Teacher Chen!"
"Teacher Chen, do you want coffee or green tea today? They have just been brewed. If you need it, just say hello to me and I will bring it to you."
"Sister Ah Qing has been working hard on filming these days. When we finish work, we can go have a drink together! My treat!"
"Sister Aqing's figure is so good. Her skin is as white as milk. How do you maintain it?"
"Teacher Chen, Director Ouyang is looking for you and wants you to meet him as soon as you come to the set!"
Chen Qing felt like he was in a dream at this moment. Every few steps he took, someone kept smiling and saying hello. Such a scene was simply unheard of in the past. Even if the hero and heroine came in person, they would not necessarily receive such treatment.
"what happens?"
While Chen Qing smiled and nodded to some people, he was wondering in his heart, could it be because of the launch of "Pawn Shop No. 8"?
Early this morning, she was woken up by the vibrating sound of text messages. Many people who had not contacted her for several months actually sent him congratulatory text messages. At first, Chen Qing was still confused. Later, according to the instructions of her friends, she boarded the
I went to Weibo and saw the related topics of "Pawn Shop No. 8", which topped the TV drama hot search list.
"Yesterday, the prime time national ratings were released. CCTV's top drama "Forensic Medicine of the Song Dynasty" is about to come to an end, with a ratings of 9.5%. It still leads the way. Jiangnan TV's "Pawn Shop No. 8" started airing on its first day, with a rating of 4.2%.
The ratings set off the topic of the entire Internet! "Fairy Sword" followed closely behind, with a ratings of 1.4%, which is remarkable..."
Seeing that "Pawn Shop No. 8" ranked second in the ratings, Chen Qing finally let go of his worries. This data was already amazing. Even though he didn't know much about the ratings of mainland satellite TVs, satellite TVs other than CCTV
With a ratings of 4.2%, whether it is a variety show or a TV series, it can almost be said to be a hit.
However, because he was busy going to the crew to film, Chen Qing did not pay close attention to it.
Now that we have arrived on the set, the attitude of the staff and the call from the director of the set made Chen Qing a little excited and a little nervous at the same time.
She was a little afraid that this would be a flash in the pan, so she hurriedly bowed and saluted the senior actors who came to say hello along the way. Until she came to Director Ouyang, all the anticipation and nervousness accumulated in her heart turned into surprise.
Ouyang Ke is the director of the Baodao TV series "Blooming Summer". As a professional reporting on soap operas, Ouyang Ke is also very famous in the industry. Although he has not won half an award in the ten years since his debut, many soap operas under his name have
However, the ratings have always been good, and it has a fixed audience. It is a pure commercial drama director.
At this time, Ouyang Ke was chatting with Yu Xiu, the screenwriter of "Blooming Summer". When he saw Chen Qing's arrival, he smiled and waved at a distance: "Ah Qing, you are finally here, come here quickly.
"
Upon seeing this, Chen Qing quickly quickened his pace, walked to the director, and said somewhat cautiously: "Hello, director!"
Ouyang Ke smiled: "Don't be so polite. Come on, let me introduce you. This is the screenwriter of our "Blooming Summer" crew, Teacher Yu Xiuyu."
Chen Qing quickly said hello to Yu Xiu.
Yu Xiu stared at Chen Qing curiously. Before today, he didn't have a deep impression of Chen Qing. He only knew that the other party was a supporting actress who had few roles in his works.
After looking at Chen Qing carefully, he suddenly asked: "Are you familiar with Han Sen and Jiang Hua?"
Chen Qing was stunned for a moment, her expression a little hesitant. In this case, she actually didn't know whether she should take advantage of the popularity of the two elders.
If it were an ordinary person, I'm afraid they would have already started bragging about their familiarity with each other.
But Chen Qing is a newcomer, not very young, not experienced in the world, and a bit thin-skinned. Although he is familiar with Han Sen and Jiang Hua in the crew, Chen Qing does not have many opportunities to meet the two elders off-screen.
Seeing this, Yu Xiu felt a little clear in his heart. He smiled slightly and comforted: "Don't take it to heart, I'm just asking casually."
Ouyang Ke looked at Chen Qing and nodded while looking at it: "Aqing, you participated in the heroine of "Pawn Shop No. 8", why haven't I heard you talk about it before?"
Chen Qing said quickly: "Actually, I said this before our crew officially started filming, but maybe you forgot."
Ouyang Ke was startled, and after thinking about it for a moment, he vaguely seemed to have such a thing, but he didn't seem to care at the time. After all, he had never heard of "Pawn Shop No. 8" before yesterday. We may know this.
It is the work of Jiang Hua and Han Sen.
What's more, in Baodao, Chen Qing was just a model in the advertising industry who had just become famous. Who would have thought that she would suddenly transform and become the heroine of "Pawn Shop No. 8".
And yesterday, "Pawn Shop No. 8" ranked second in prime time ratings, causing a stir in the industry.
It started with a ratings of 4.2%, which is considered very successful from any angle.
Even CCTV's "Forensic Doctor of the Song Dynasty", which is gaining popularity, had only the same ratings when it first aired.
As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. Ouyang Ke still remembers that the last work he aired had a national ratings of only 0.06%...
Well, this is a bit embarrassing.
Thinking of this, Ouyang Ke looked as if he was stunned, slapped his forehead, and said with some annoyance: "It seems...that's what happened. Oh, look at my memory, but it's okay, everything is still in time."
!”
In Chen Qing's puzzled eyes, Ouyang Ke patted the screenwriter Yu Xiu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I have discussed with Teacher Yu and am going to give you more responsibilities. Your role is actually a bit small. Yu
The teacher said, let’s add some drama to you and treat you as the first supporting actress, what do you think?”
While Ouyang Ke was speaking, Chen Qing's heart was in her throat. After the other person finished speaking, Chen Qing's face turned red with excitement and she quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Director Ouyang, thank you, Teacher Yu!"
"You're welcome, this is what it should be."
Ouyang Ke smiled and waved.
It really should be...
Like Chen Qing, Ouyang Ke was also woken up by a phone call early in the morning.
On the phone, the investor communicated with him anxiously, both inside and outside his words wanting to add drama to Chen Qing.
At first, Ouyang Ke was still puzzled. Chen Qing was just a new actor. He had no experience, no qualifications, no popularity, and he didn’t even have a serious agency. How could he suddenly be so lucky that he was cast into the role?
Is the sponsor’s father attracted to him?
Is she another girl who will do whatever it takes to get the upper hand?
But when he hung up the phone and took a closer look, he immediately trembled and called the screenwriter Yu Xiu as if in a hurry. Then, as soon as the two came to the set, they began to discuss it in detail.
Add drama!
Must add drama!
"Blooming Summer" is just a soap opera that lives in a small island, and at most it can only entertain the island's audience. However, "Pawn Shop No. 8" is directed by the famous director Jiang Hua and joined by the popular king Han Sen. Last night, it was
It immediately took the second place in the national ratings when it first aired. It is simply the number one show under CCTV. Who can resist this?
And the unknown Chen Qing is actually the heroine of "Pawn Shop No. 8"!
Ouyang Ke and Yu Xiu realized the key point instantly. As the ratings of "Pawn Shop No. 8" increased, Chen Qing, who had been almost ignored by them, was about to fly up the branches and become a phoenix!
After Chen Qing becomes completely popular, it will be almost impossible for them to use Chen Qing at such a cheap price.
Therefore, after many discussions, Ouyang Ke almost made the final decision to give Chen Qing more scenes, full of scenes.
Yu Xiu is also an experienced screenwriter. Although it is a bit difficult to add scenes temporarily, "Blooming Summer" is a soap opera. It doesn't matter whether it is bloody or not, as long as the basic logic is smooth.
Therefore, after many revisions by Yu Xiu, the script of "Blooming Summer" was almost completely changed, and the plot direction was completely contrary to what was said outside.
It can be said that with the permission of the investor and director, Yu Xiu gave full play to his imagination and skills.
Starting from the third episode, Chen Qing's role as a marginal supporting actress has been raised to that of the first supporting actress. To be serious, she is the second heroine.
Moreover, he is still a villain!
Even the final plot was magically modified to the extreme.
The villain heroine turned into a king, took over directly, turned the first heroine into a vegetative state, and became entangled with the male protagonist until the final episode.
Originally a small-budget TV series with eighteen episodes, under Yu Xiu's magical plot changes, the plot line has been continuously extended.
In the end, in order to add drama to Chen Qing, the heroine even killed the male protagonist who was the domineering president, directly took over the position of president, and became the controller of a business group.
Even the actors who played the male and female protagonists in the play were confused when they saw the final script, let alone everyone else.
However, investors praised the script.
Not only was the decision confirmed, but an additional investment of 7 million was made, which immediately brought the "Blooming Summer" crew to climax. You know, the total investment of the entire crew is only 10 to 20 million.
Therefore, the crew immediately adopted the latest version of the plot.
Chen Qing didn't expect that he would become popular so quickly!
When "Pawn Shop No. 8" was broadcast on the second, third, and fourth days, the ratings began to increase continuously.
By the fourth day, the ratings had reached 6.6%. Except for "Forensic Doctor of the Song Dynasty", which is about to end, the ratings can hold a candle to "Pawn Shop No. 8", and all competing products have been completely defeated.
Even for Shonan Satellite TV's "A Fairy Tale", the ratings have always stayed around 1%.
And the hot searches and discussions on the Internet have also completely stalled.
All audiences were attracted by "Pawn Shop No. 8".
Moreover, because the heroine played by Chen Qing in the drama was so hated in the early stage, there were even more people discussing favoritism on the Internet than Han Sen.
Many people hated the heroine so much that some of Chen Qing's scenes were parodied and made into emoticons. However, this made Chen Qing's character become more popular even faster, and it became extremely popular for a time.
In the first few episodes, almost more than half of the audience expressed displeasure with the character Chen Qing.
But fortunately, the plot of "Pawn Shop No. 8" is very compact.
Each unit has an independent story, but they are not isolated from each other and have a certain relationship, so the audience will not abandon the drama easily.
As the plot progresses, many viewers even feel that they are becoming more and more addicted.
Especially when A-Qing's birthmark was removed and some of her bad traits and shortcomings were pawned, she instantly gave people the feeling of a goddess.
"Let's not talk about the plot. Let's just talk about Ah Qing, who is orange, has fair skin, is beautiful, has long legs and a thin waist, has a slim figure, has a cunning, smart, shrewd and charming personality. Who dares to say that there will be no endless roles for Ah Qing?"
"The character of Ah Qing in the beginning is extremely unlikable, ugly, mischievous, and annoying to death. It has many dark points combined into one! Although I am a fan of Han Sen, I almost gave up on the show because of the character of Ah Qing.
, fortunately I persevered, the growth-oriented heroine is really sweet!"
"That is to say, with Han Sen's support, otherwise this kind of start will make people abandon the show, and the ratings will definitely not explode."
"I really didn't like the love at the beginning, and almost couldn't pursue it. However, after removing the shortcomings, it became very lovable. In fact, I can accept the shortcomings, but I cannot accept the lack of bottom line. The former Ah Qing was
A person with no bottom line."
"I really love this show. If there really is such a pawnshop, then please take away my laziness, greed, arrogance, lust, and gluttony!
"
"Some of the scenes in this drama are so terrifying. They are definitely the shadows of a new generation's childhood, the twisted sedan chair, the child whose child's hole suddenly turned black, the woman who threw herself into a will-o'-the-wisp, the ears that were picked off casually, and the floating ears in the pawn shop.
The ghosts, the misty fog, and the soulless body all make people break out in cold sweats!"
"It's not scary at all. To me, it's simply exciting, so exciting!"
"The horror is just his surface. The most important thing about this drama is the depiction of complex human nature. Especially that sentence, the moment when desire is satisfied, is the beginning of repayment. It is simply amazing. Han Sen can write such a script, which is enough to see his mind.
The unconstrained style is not only suitable for music, but also suitable for film and television creation!"
""Pawn Shop No. 8" seems dark, and it seems that Ah Qing's character, behavior, etc. are a bit wrong. But if you dig deeper, it is these rich and vivid characters that make the audience understand: only
If you know how to restrain your greed, you will not fall into darkness step by step. After all, reality will not give you a chance to wake up."
As the controversy and discussion of "Pawn Shop No. 8" increases on the Internet, this drama also regularly appears on the hot search list every day. In just one week, some of the characters in the drama can be said to be famous.
noise.
Among them, the role of Chen Qing has attracted the most attention.
But just when Chen Qing was attracting attention and her popularity was gradually rising, an angry middle-aged woman was ushered in outside the cordon of the "Blooming Summer" crew. Even though she was surrounded by security personnel, she kept shouting
