That night, amid much anticipation, "Uncanny Tides" started airing.
The first two episodes are mainly about Zhang Guilin, the commander of the Second Battalion stationed in the Special Administrative Region. On a weekend night, when he went to the TV station to meet his girlfriend Anna, the troops suddenly received an order to fight the flood, so the Second Battalion went to the TV station to meet his girlfriend Anna.
After becoming the vanguard of the flood fight, the protagonist Zhang Guilin had no choice but to give up the date and was airlifted with the troops to Jiangchuan City, located in a dangerous part of the Yangtze River, to carry out first aid missions to fight floods.
In the TV screen, soldiers jumped from the sky in helicopters, entered the disaster area, set up signals, and established contact points with the outside world.
The next moment, the scene changed to a rolling torrent and terrifying waves.
The station soldiers went out to fight and built the Great Wall of Steel with their bodies to withstand the raging floods. However, the floods were so fierce that under the impact of the first wave of peaks, Zhang Guilin watched helplessly as his comrades were washed away by the floods.
The sadness in his expression could not be concealed.
He roared with all his strength, his eyes bloodshot.
But even so, each of the soldiers looked at death as if they were going home. They stepped forward one after another, jumped into the water with all their strength, and used their bodies to block the gap.
"The flood is huge, but we have no way to retreat. Behind us are countless victims waiting for rescue. Brothers, hold on!"
Zhang Guilin stared at the heavy rain, wiping away tears while shouting loudly to his comrades in the army.
At this moment, there was lightning and thunder in the sky, and heavy rain poured down. The gap in the dam was getting wider and wider, and it was about to be unable to withstand it.
At the moment when the people needed it most, countless human sandbags jumped down and stepped forward hand in hand...
This scene shocked people across the country.
As the song "For Whom" played, the audience in front of the TV, including many soldiers who participated in last year's flood relief effort, had red eyes at this moment.
"Who are you and for whom?
My comrade, when will you return..."
The next day, Guo Fengyun, deputy director of the CCTV Film and Television Department, came to the TV station early in the morning. When he opened the door, he saw that in the office hall, the entire main staff of the "Strong Waves" crew were gathered together, excitedly discussing the TV series.
Ratings after launch.
"The first broadcast had a highest viewership rating of 9.1%. It was the most beautiful show in the same time period and ranked first in the national ratings!"
"As soon as it started airing, the ratings were higher than the highest ratings of "The Mansion Gate"! That's awesome!"
"Our whole family cried when we watched it last night. Really, those scenes are still vivid in our minds. I am really honored to be able to participate in the production of this TV series."
"The theme song is also very suitable for the scene. Director Guo is really discerning. He only found such a theme song at the end. We have actually seen those scenes on the set. We were not impressed at first, but as soon as the score came out, I
Oh my god, our whole family can’t stop crying!”
"Haha, the ratings have been so high since the show started. Our group will receive a lot of bonuses this month!"
At this time, everyone saw Guo Fengyun and happily stepped forward to inform them of the ratings status.
Guo Fengyun listened for a while and said with a smile: "We can't be happy too early. I hope everyone will continue to work hard and create better works for the audience. In terms of ratings, we must also ensure that we continue to drive high and strive to break 10%. By then,
I’m treating you all to hot pot!”
There was a burst of cheers in the hall. Guo Fengyun returned to his office and began to contact CCTV Comprehensive Channel, asking them to do more publicity and strive to achieve higher ratings for "Stranger Waves".
At the same time, Guo Fengyun also sorted out some scripts that had been prepared and began to communicate with the superiors.
"The Storm" has had a great launch, and it is very impressive to achieve such ratings results. It can be said that it is one of the best among the TV series broadcast on CCTV's prime time this year.
Of course he wants to strike while the iron is hot and secure more funds to continue working on projects.
At noon, Guo Fengyun returned to the office with a strange look on his face.
He stood there and thought for a while, then picked up the phone book and found Zheng Qian's name on it: "This kid... is really lucky!"
In the just-convened meeting, the station director personally sat in the chair, strongly praised Guo Fengyun's work, and approved the start of Guo Fengyun's next individual projects.
But at the same time, the station director also said that a senior official from a certain military region headquarters also watched the TV series and highly praised the TV series "The Storm", especially the song "For Whom", which sang the sentiments of the military and civilians.
The united fish and water are deeply affectionate, praising the noble qualities of the people's soldiers who are brave, fearless, strong and unyielding.
Therefore, early this morning, the military region boss called, hoping that CCTV could come up with a song to promote the People's Disciple Soldiers as soon as possible before this year's Dragon Boat Festival, and this song will use
to the publicity for this year’s military recruitment.
This is something Guo Fengyun never expected.
Although he also likes the song "For Whom", to be honest, if it weren't for today's meeting, he would have almost forgotten Zheng Qian.
But now...
He looked at the phone book in his hand, laughed and shook his head.
This man's luck is coming, and he can't stop it.
At this time, the secretary knocked on the door and walked in, handing a fresh fax letter to Guo Fengyun.
""For Whom" affectionately eulogizes the heroic, fearless, and unyielding noble qualities of the people's soldiers. It has moved countless Chinese people. It also praises the great spirit of soldiers who are not afraid of hardship, tiredness, and sacrifice. Its sincere and melodious melody is even more popular in singing.
It embodies the dedication and sense of mission of the soldiers in peacetime, and also sings the gratitude of the people across the country to the people's soldiers and the deep love for the unity between the military and the people."
"In view of this, our army sincerely invites the Film and Television Department of the Central People's Broadcasting and Television Station to compose a promotional song for the XX Military Region's recruitment in 2004..."
Guo Fengyun looked at it for a while and asked: "When was it sent?"
"Just now!"
The secretary said, and then asked curiously: "Director, it seems that the original author of this song is not from our film and television department, right?"
"no."
Guo Fengyun waved his hand to signal the secretary to go out, then picked up the phone and dialed according to the numbers in the phone book.
On the other side, Zheng Qian is working out like crazy. Now he weighs more than 65KG, his abdominal muscles have been exposed, and his figure management is "well-organized". If an artist wants to ensure a good mental state, it is also very necessary to have physical health requirements. Therefore,
Although his business has been a bit busy recently, Zheng Qian works out like crazy whenever he has free time. Not to mention, he plays iron too much, which is really addictive.
He even went online to consult on some boxing and sparring projects, such as Muay Thai, Jeet Kune Do, etc., and he had a lot of ideas. This caused Lin Qianxi to complain wildly: "Aren't you going to stop until you get muscle bumps all over your body?"
Zheng Qian assumed the posture of a meditator, then stroked his shiny biceps, and said with satisfaction: "Don't you think he's a tough guy?"
