While Fang Yi and the others were preparing, the recording team of Hunan Satellite TV was already on standby.
The leader was Xu Qing, the original producer of "Metamorphosis". She had been paying attention to Fang Yi. When she saw that the real owner had disappeared, she said, "The camera can be turned on and ready to record. We need to pay special attention to that person named Fang Yi."
For him, I asked the station for all the programs he appeared on, and all of them had higher ratings than the average."
"Whether it's a coincidence or he is really popular with the audience, we have to believe in this thing and not carry it on his back. He obviously meets the market demand."
The photographer on standby and other assistants nodded silently without any rebuttal.
Xu Qing said, "When we were doing talent shows, we also encountered some contestants who were more popular with the audience, and those contestants were not necessarily beautiful or talented... As for Fang Yi, at least you and I both
He knows why he is liked. So when he competes with that teacher, take more close-ups of him and not the teacher."
I watched the performance on stage for a while.
Xu Qing asked his colleagues, "How are these Yang Opera students doing?"
Of course my colleague said yes.
"How does it compare with the group of idol drama actors recruited by Tianyu?"
"They must be the best ones on stage." The colleague continued to add, "I don't know what happened to the young people we recruited at Tianyu. I can't understand what they are saying, and some of them have very bad manners and shake their heads. This batch of young people on stage are shaking their heads.
Although there are no subtitles, they spoke with great energy and I could hear them clearly without any hindrance. It’s just..."
Xu Qing asked, "Just what?"
The colleague replied hesitantly, pointing to the actors on the stage who were taking their curtain call, "I feel very tired. I don't really want to watch their show. I mean, the acting is too deep. Now I am very nervous while carrying the camera.
I'm tired. I don't want to watch the bitterness and hatred in "Thunderstorm". What I want is that the mother Fanyi quickly gets together with her stepson, hugs and kisses, and rolls up on the sofa. I like to watch vulgar movies.
of……"
Others laughed.
But Xu Qing didn't. Instead, she thought of her "Transformation Plan".
At that time, there was a similar discussion within Xiang Provincial Satellite TV, that is, whether the program should be made into an in-depth report reflecting the differences between urban and rural areas, or whether it should be turned into an entertainment-oriented drama.
Xiang Provincial Satellite TV does not always produce shitty entertainment products. On the contrary, every once in a while, it wants to produce a wave of deep ones.
"Toward the Republic", "Chat Classmate Boy", "Da Ming 1566", these conscience dramas that are often mentioned, are precisely the ones that Hunan Satellite TV participated in or even independently produced.
However, the ratings of these TV series are not ideal and the investment is high. The most typical one is "Da Ming 1566". Ouyang Changlin, the then station director, personally took the lead in the production of the TV series in order to reverse the public criticism of Hunan Satellite TV's unlimited entertainment.
TV drama.
Big cast, big production.
"The Ming Dynasty" received rave reviews after it aired, with a score of 9.5 on Douban, and is considered to be the best historical drama in the new century.
However, the ratings were only 0.5, which was outperformed by "Country Love" in the same period, with less than one-fifteenth of its ratings.
Director Ouyang Yang apologized to all the staff at the meeting. After that, Hunan Satellite TV completely moved towards entertainment.
If "Metamorphosis" is too tragic, the audience may not want to watch it, not to mention whether it is allowed to be broadcast by the Peak.
It's better to create a bunch of weird things. Even if the guests themselves are not weird, they still have to conflict with the script and make various edits to forcibly create a weird one.
Xu Qing thought that the upcoming program would also create a weird one.
Who to shape?
After a lengthy leadership report, the host reported the program.
"——Now we invite Fang Yi, an outstanding alumnus and our current classmate, to appear. With him is the actor Zhao Lixin."
The audience burst into applause.
At this moment, the Yang Opera Department, the acting department, the directing department, the dubbing department... all the people in the school are here. They have known about the debate between Fang Yi and Zhao Lixin for a long time, and they are not afraid of causing trouble if they watch the fun. Wait until this day
waited for so long.
The school specially arranged for Zhao Lixin and Fang Yi to come over together.
The host introduced the two: "Fang Yi, is..."
"Zhao Lixin..."
Xu Qing came over to see the effect on the screen.
On the other side, several assistants called out, "You, you... just look at it from the front, after they have finished their performance, tell me who is the best performer; you, and you... turn around, from now on, you can only listen.
sound."
So, two of them were looking directly at the performance, and two were looking directly at the excited audience.
The first person to appear was Zhao Lixin.
He paired an excerpt from "Blue Bridge", in which an American soldier about to go into battle proposes to a dancer:
"Go and marry me... Crazy is a beautiful feeling... I will understand you and spend my whole life getting to know you..."
As for this line, brothers, you can try to read it, it’s so difficult to pronounce.
When this film was introduced to China, it was still the era of state-owned film studios. The translators and the people who composed the lines were not the same people, so they never considered making the words more colloquial, and ultimately created a unique film translation accent.
So much so, now that you don’t have a translation accent, you don’t even have that flavor.
However, Lao Zhao did an excellent job in portraying the romantic and exciting emotions. With the specially designed interior of the North Theater and the high-priced equipment, it exerted a shocking appeal.
The students in the audience also knew what he was doing, and when he finished matching, they applauded without hesitation.
The four audience members of Xiang Provincial Satellite TV, whether they were behind their backs or facing up, all unanimously said, "This person is well-matched."
It's Fang Yi's turn.
Xiao Fang didn't say anything yet, because the camera was pointed at him, and the enlarged image of Fang Yi was projected on the big screen, and the people below were shouting "oh oh".
Xu Qing lamented, "It turns out that the audience has always been so superficial, even the most professional ones."
Fang Yi's excerpt is from "Three Kingdoms" where Jiang Wei surrenders to Zhong Hui and Jiang Wei makes a speech in Zhuge Liang's mourning hall:
"Jiang Wei is incompetent, has harmed the country and the people, and has betrayed the prime minister's great trust. I, Jiang Wei... am short in talent and wisdom, but my loyalty can be learned..."
After finishing the performance, I received quite a lot of applause, which seemed to be slightly more than that of Lao Zhao, but not obvious.
Both of them chose passages with emotional outbursts, and they didn't just choose randomly.
Xu Qing asked the two on the front and the two on the back to decide who was the best match.
The number of votes is three to one. Fang Yi is three. All the people on the front choose Fang Yi. There is one on the back.
Sure enough, appearance still has an impact, and with his hard power, Lao Zhao also won votes.
So, editing Lao Zhao into a weirdo who overestimates his abilities is a bit unconvincing. He also has some support.
How to do it?
The sound of music continues to echo in the North Theater, and the big screen on the stage cuts to a new video.
