More than half of the first wave of viewers who watched the movie said that the movie was good, the laughs were novel, and Yamashiro's spoken language was also very interesting, and they would watch it again.
At least after the premiere, the stone in Ning Hao's heart has always fallen. At least the box office is no longer important and miserable. How much money can be earned from the rest is left to God's will.
Anyway, that’s how small-budget movies are. There’s no extra money for promotion, so they basically rely on word-of-mouth and tap water to help them ferment.
After the premiere, Han Sanping, Feng Xiaogang, and Andy didn't stay much longer. They said a few words of encouragement to each other and then went back.
The remaining directors and actors from the Stone Crew have not been together for a while, so naturally they want to find a place to hang out and have a few drinks with each other.
"Okay, I'm not familiar with Yanjing. Haozi will lead the way. Let's find a place to have a good gathering."
As soon as Zhong Yunqing finished speaking, Xu Zheng took over the words and continued:
"That's right! We want to get together here. But Boss Zhong is here, so we have to find a more expensive place to beat him, a wealthy man!"
When he went to study with Ning Hao, he stayed in Chongqing with the actors from the Stone Crew for half a year, and established a good friendship. So he was very free to joke.
I saw Zhong Yunqing making a small movement of glancing his eyes left and right, and then whispered:
"Okay, let's find an expensive place! But a few of our families are here, so just take it easy, everyone! Don't let my family, Sisi, find out that I have hidden some private money..."
Sisi was listening to him talking nonsense with these people behind him, and she knew that he was just joking when he said these words on purpose. Naturally, she rolled her eyes without any trace, and then thought to herself:
"This old Zhong, talking about 'private money' and 'his family's thoughts', is becoming more and more dishonest day by day, and he doesn't keep his mouth shut!"
But with so many people around, Sisi didn't do anything to gain his face. The girl was humming in her heart, thinking: If you have any grudges, let's settle the accounts with him when we get home!
Then the group of people followed Ning Hao's car and set off.
Of course, it was a joke to say that the local tycoons were looking for expensive places in the past. After all, at this time in 2006, even in the capital city of Yanjing, prices had not yet started to take off.
The restaurants that serve late-night snacks and skewers are actually not much different from the open-air food stalls. Even for seafood barbecue, these dozen people will only spend one to two thousand yuan.
But then again, one or two thousand yuan in 2006 is not really small money at all.
However, a dinner party is a dinner party, and Zhong Yunqing still considers everything.
Sisi is much more famous now than she was in her last life. Naturally, she has a lot more crazy fans than in her previous life. Who knows if there are any Lianjiazi among them.
Therefore, for the sake of safety, Zhong Yunqing was very careful and asked the female bodyguards specially hired to protect Sisi to come with them and let them sit at another table just in case.
When a group of senior men gather with their families for a dinner, it is natural to drink. So after three rounds of wine and five dishes, the next step is to take advantage of the wine to chat with each other.
Ning Hao is the director of Stone, so everyone gave him the main seat.
Zhong Yunqing just saw Ning Hao and Wang Xun having a drink, and then noticed that he and his wife looked at each other. He stood up from his seat and walked towards where he was.
Zhong Yunqing moved his position so that he could reach the seat next to him.
Seeing this, Sisi stopped whispering with Tao Hong and focused her attention there.
As a result, Ning Hao didn't come over to say anything important, but just asked:
"By the way, Yun Qing, when will you guys return to Hengdian?"
Of course Zhong Yunqing didn't just think that he came here just to finish this. So he replied according to his question:
"I will go back early tomorrow morning. The estimated filming time for my drama is only one and a half months, so the filming progress is very fast. There is not much time to waste."
After saying that, Zhong Yunqing stopped beating around the bush and looked directly at Ning Hao and asked:
"Why, Director Ning suddenly came over and asked me this, is there any instruction?"
As a result, Ning Hao responded with a slightly embarrassed look: "Don't tell me, I really have something to talk to you about."
Seeing Ning Hao's expression, Zhong Yunqing became curious.
"Well, what's the matter?"
After Zhong Yunqing asked back, Ning Hao looked at Xing Aina before continuing:
"Well, my wife has a good friend who works for Guangdong Satellite TV. They are now planning to create a talk show. After all, it is the first episode, so the guest selection is this. They want to find actors and actresses who are highly topical to open up the situation first.
"
"Then when she called me to chat with my wife a few days ago, she found out that we had some friendship, so she asked about it. By the way, she asked me to see if I could invite you to the show."
The talk show in Guangdong Province was a bit too far away. To be honest, Zhong Yunqing didn't want to go. So he didn't express his position, but wanted to think about it first.
Seeing that Zhong Yunqing suddenly stopped talking, Ning Hao had no intention of stopping. He looked at Zhong Yunqing's expression, and then continued:
"I think so. Since you are all filming now, you don't have any follow-up works that can be remembered by people to keep it topical. Otherwise, let's record a show first."
"Although this is a new talk show, traditional ratings cannot be guaranteed. But to be honest, this is the first episode, and Guangdong TV will definitely make great efforts to promote it. And at this time, you and Sisi have something new.
The program maintains exposure, which is also good for the TV series you are currently filming."
After hearing Ning Hao's reasons, Zhong Yunqing still did not express his position on the spot. Instead, he asked:
"Don't you have to write down the scripts for talk shows some time in advance? Guangdong Satellite TV made such a sudden invitation..."
In fact, when Ning Hao said the words "first episode", Zhong Yunqing was already interested. As he said before, the most considerable resources are invested in the first episode of any program.
However, the filming time for his TV series is indeed relatively tight. After that, there is still filming for the movie, so there really is not much time to waste.
And to be honest, he really has no interest in traveling all the way to Guangdong Province.
Just when he was a little confused, he heard Ning Hao say again:
"No, I heard her say that the main line of this talk show is not to chat according to the script, but mainly to allow the invited guests to talk about the trivial matters of celebrities' daily lives. This show was designed because the audience is expected to like to watch this gossip.
"
"...So when you two go on the show, just follow the normal chat mode. And the other party also promised that you and Sisi will each have two million appearance fees, and the interview show you participated in will be edited for you to review first.
, and then broadcast it when it’s suitable.”
Not to mention the two million, the gimmick of having the guest show off first has already shown the sincerity of the program team. Zhong Yunqing is really satisfied in his heart. But on the surface, he still looks calm.
After saying this, Ning Hao continued:
"Besides, we are so familiar with each other that I wouldn't recommend you to a regular program. After all, this talk show on Guangdong TV is a star, so it must be a good job."
Zhong Yunqing listened to Ning Hao talking there all the time to try to convince herself, and thought viciously in her heart: This guy probably received a lot of "kickbacks" from other people's program groups. Otherwise, he wouldn't be like this if he were an ordinary lobbyist.
Help the other person talk eloquently.
In fact, when Zhong Yunqing heard that it was a star program, she was already very excited.
After all, as mentioned before, he and Sisi will be busy filming TV series and movies in the next few months. The exposure rate during this period is extremely low.
It is also a good thing to join a popular talk show team at this time. After all, one of the two parties needs ratings, and the other needs to maintain a moderate exposure during filming. It is indeed a case of each getting what he needs.
However, Zhong Yunqing was still reluctant from the bottom of his heart to go all the way to Guangdong Province to record a program. So he thought about it seriously and came up with an alternative plan.
"It's a waste of time to go to Guangdong Province to record the program. How about you help me communicate with the other party? Their first interview can be recorded on our crew. And I can let our crew guest guest in the audience. I guarantee that
It can enhance the atmosphere of the show better than those professional "caregivers"."
After finishing speaking, Zhong Yunqing looked at Sisi, who had been listening to the conversation between the two, and continued to say to Ning Hao:
"The filming work during this period is really too intense, and I really can't spare time to go to Guangdong Province. This is already my best plan. Just ask me, if it doesn't work, don't talk anymore."
Although Zhong Yunqing said "Let's talk", Ning Hao could still see the determination in his eyes. It meant a vague "if it doesn't work, just break up".
He nodded slightly, then looked at his watch. The time showed that it was now 10:52 pm.
He still replied:
"Okay, I'll call over and ask."
After Ning Hao finished speaking, he picked up the mobile phone on the table, got up and went outside the private room.
Calling so late, it was obvious that the other party was also very anxious and wanted a definite answer from Zhong Yunqing.
So Ning Hao came back about five minutes later.
He sat back next to Zhong Yunqing and said with a relaxed smile:
"The person from Guangdong Satellite TV agreed. She said she would organize people from the program team to go to your set tomorrow morning."
After saying this, Ning Hao couldn't help but sigh:
"Yun Qing, I have to say, you popular celebrities are so proud of themselves. You can make the TV station change the recording venue with just one sentence! It's amazing!"
Zhong Yunqing was no longer out of tune this time, but replied with the same relaxed expression:
"You are wrong. It's not that we have a big reputation, but that we have a big reputation with the ratings! After all, this program on Guangdong TV is preparing to hold its first episode, so in order to be on the safe side, we must make some appropriate compromises. We all just get what we need.
.”
After saying that, Zhong Yunqing put away his emotions:
"I'm also communicating with my assistant director, so I can finish recording early tomorrow and relax early. I'm really busy during this period!"
"Okay, it's quite late now, so everyone will go back to their homes, and we'll find time to get together later.
The next morning, Zhong Yunqing returned to the set, and seriously discussed the situation with Director Li, asking him to take some people to shoot a few scenes with supporting characters, and then continue filming the rest of the main storyline after he and Sisi finished recording the interview.
Director Li didn't have any objections. He would shoot whatever he wanted, as long as the crew didn't stop.
…………
The studio set up by the column team was Shen Yong's study in Shen's mansion. In order to promote the TV series, Zhong Yunqing communicated with the program team again, and he and Sisi wore drama costumes to record the program.
After everything was ready, the two met with the female host and talked about some precautions for recording the show.
As a result, as soon as this female host appeared, Zhong Yunqing felt that she looked very familiar, and she didn't think of her face. However, after glancing at her pair of huge "car lights", Zhong Yunqing carefully recalled it and found that she really knew who this guy was.
Isn’t that what makes a deep impression on people based on their breasts: Miss Liu Yan!
However, although he knew that Liu Yan was the host of the show in the beginning, he had no impression of this interview show.
Thinking about it, in his memory, there were dozens of talk shows that could be broadcast on the Star Channel. However, although he knew some talk shows in his previous life, they were all the ones with high ratings.
For example, Shenma's "Interview with Yang Lan", Shenma's "Very Quiet Distance", Shenma's "Qiang Qiang Threesome", etc. The rest are not very familiar.
"Wouldn't it affect the effect of the show if we wear ancient costumes?"
"This is not the case, but it may make the audience feel novel." The message responded with a smile.
"That's good, let's get started."
The program recording officially started.
First, Liu Yan made her own opening remarks, and then set off the atmosphere, allowing the audience to use their warmest applause and cheers to invite a couple as guests for this issue.
Well, how can I put it this way? The talk shows of this period all had similar openings, they all simply aroused the curiosity of the audience.
Then the curtain slowly rose, and Zhong Yunqing and Sisi, dressed in the costumes from Chef Fang's TV series, walked hand in hand to the center of the camera.
Then, following Liu Yan’s hint, the young couple once again waved to each other and said hello to the camera:
"Hello, good evening to all my working friends in front of the TV. I am Zhong Yunqing..."
"Hello everyone, I am Liu Sisi..."
Then Liu Yan took over the conversation, turned sideways to the camera and the young couple, and began to ask the first question that had been defined before:
"It's very rare. This is the first time that you two have participated in a talk show together. Do you have any thoughts?"
Zhong Yunqing and Sisi looked at each other, then replied with a smile:
"Actually, it's nothing special. We have had relatively interactive talk shows before..."
"I know, I also watched that issue. You made Sisi 'kiss, hug and lift her up' and it became the headline news for half a month!"
As she spoke, Liu Yan covered her mouth and smiled, then looked at Sisi with a slightly envious expression:
"I'm afraid you don't know how many people envy you for being able to maintain fresh and varied relationships!"
