Chapter 144 'The Days of Longing' broadcast, visiting classes and guest appearances
"Longing for Days" is a top variety show in China, and its ratings and network performance are already quite good.
This time, the guest in the new episode is the main creator of "Wulin Gaiden", which is very popular in the summer, and this episode of "Longing for Days" has directly added to the fire.
It directly broke the ratings and network broadcast records after the second and third seasons were aired, and was only a few centimeters behind the two peak performances of the first season.
The director team of "Longing for Days" was so happy that Shonan TV, which had complained a little before, also shut up.
What is "enemies" and what is "no position" are all empty in the face of absolute ratings.
If the ratings of Xiangnan Satellite TV reach this level every day, it would be fine if Xiangnan TV advertises for Dongshan TV...
The popularity of the ratings and online broadcasts made this program very popular online. Within two days of the program being aired, there were more than 10 hot searches related to this issue of scarves.
Among them, half are related to Zuo Le.
To be honest, before the program "Longing for Days" was aired, many viewers came for the starring roles in "Wulin Gaiden" such as Yan Ni and Sha Yi.
But after it started airing, I was attracted by Zuo Le, who stole the show in the show without even realizing it.
From the prank at the beginning of ordering food, to cooking the food himself, making fun of himself for being disliked by Kong Wen, and playing the guitar and singing by himself at night.
Zuo Le successfully became popular again, not only attracted a large number of fans, but also got a new nickname "Treasure Director".
In particular, many of Zuo Le's old fans were pleasantly surprised by Zuo Le's performance in "Days of Longing" and strongly recommended him to participate in more new variety shows.
Zuo Le was noncommittal about this.
He is not opposed to participating in variety shows, but because he is not too outgoing, he has no interest in many variety shows that are too entertaining.
Zuo Le actually doesn't like participating in indoor game variety shows like "Happy Dream Show" because he thinks it's too noisy and a bit childish.
If it were not a place to praise his wife, Zuo Le would never participate in a variety show like this for the second time.
On the contrary, it is a slow-paced variety show like "Longing for Days", where everyone laughs, cooks, and chats. Zuo Le feels very relaxed and the experience is quite good.
Secondly, what Zuo Le can accept is interview programs, which is also the variety show mode he usually participates in most.
Sit face to face with the host and talk about past events and ideals. Recording is simple and convenient, saving time and effort.
As for other types of programs, Zuo Le has not participated in them yet and will not comment.

The popularity of this episode of "Longing for Days" about Zuo Le and others also boosted the ratings of "Cooking Class Story 2" to a certain extent.
On October 7, one week after its premiere, the average ratings of "Cooking Class Story 2" successfully exceeded 2, winning the 11th ratings championship in 2019.
Douhua's score also climbed to 9.0, becoming Zuo Le's fourth 9-point drama after "Underground Traffic Station", "Seven Swords" and "Wulin Gaiden".
[Produced by Zuo Le, it must be a high-quality product]
These eight words have begun to become a basic formula in the minds of many sitcom lovers.
As long as it's a sitcom produced by Zuo Le, just start the mindless drama-watching mode, and Douhua will give it five stars without any negotiation.
Of course, in addition to sitcoms, with a simple extension, Zuo Le's formula can also be applied to martial arts dramas.
As for other topics......
Fans continue to be brainless, but sensible TV drama lovers still take a wait-and-see approach.
To put it bluntly, the types of TV series Zuo Le shoots are too single.
He debuted in seven works, six of which were sitcoms, and the only non-sitcom, "Seven Swords", although it was amazing and famous in half of Asia, but after all, there was only one, and the persuasion rate was not very strong.
It does not completely mean that Zuo Le can continue to maintain the strength and quality of his work in sitcoms in other subject areas.
Zuo Le wants to expand the eight words "Zuo Le produces, must be a high-quality product" from sitcoms to the entire TV series, but there is still a way to go.
…………
On October 10, Zuo Le went to visit the crew of "Family with Children 3".
"Family with Children 3" started shooting in mid-August. It has been shooting for almost two months now, and more than half of it has been shot. It is expected to be completed by the end of the month or early November at most.
Because Yang Qing is preparing for the high school entrance examination, Xia Xue's role is greatly reduced, so in "Family with Children 3", Liu Xing, played by Zhang Shan, plays the leading role, and the other three members of the Xia family provide support.
In fact, with the feedback from the first two films, Liu Xing, who is deeply loved by the audience, has been gradually increasing his role in the drama "Family with Children".
When Zuo Le filmed the first film, the three children of the Xia family had almost the same amount of scenes, and even Xia Xue, as the eldest sister, had slightly more scenes.
When it came time to film the second part, Gao Jianjian became the director. After careful research, he found that Liu Xing's popularity was obviously higher than that of the rest of the Xia family of five.
For the sake of performance, Gao Xinjian discussed with the screenwriter and added a lot of scenes to Liu Xing.
From this moment on, Liu Xing began to have a vague tendency to be the first protagonist in the "Family with Children" series.
However, during the preparation period for the third part, "Wulin Gaiden" was launched, and Yang Qing, who played Mo Xiaobei, became very popular, directly overtaking Zhang Shan.
Director Gao Xingjian began to think about switching from mainly recommending Liu Xing to Xiaoxue and Liu Xing.
However, at this time, Yang Qing took the initiative to significantly reduce his role due to cultural class reasons. The plan to promote Gao and Gao was aborted, and he changed his mind to Liu Xing.
At the same time, because most of Xiaoxue's scenes were removed, Liu Xing's scenes increased significantly, confirming his position as the first protagonist.
However, his position is not stable, with the return of Yang Qing in the next film.
Liu Xing vs Xia Xue
Who is the No. 1 character in "Family with Children" is something we can discuss.
Zuo Le felt a little emotional when he saw Zhang Shan and You Haohao, two years older, sitting on the sofa playing games while holding a mobile phone in their hands during the shooting break.
Two "Family with Children" hit number two in succession, making all five members of the Xia family famous throughout the country.
Not to mention the two adults, Xia Donghai and Liu Mei, the three children Liu Xing have also become first-line child stars.
Zhang Shan, in particular, was even said to be the number one child star in the country at the beginning of the year. However, after "Wulin Gaiden" was aired, this statement was again attributed to Yang Qing.
But no matter who is first, when it comes to the most popular child stars in China, Zhang Shan and Yang Qing can account for two of the top three, and You Haohao is among the top five.
After "Family with Children 3" is aired, maybe the top three will be rounded out by these three siblings.
…………
Zuo Le spent half a day on the set of "Family with Children 3" and treated the main creator to a meal in the evening as a reward and encouragement.
After leaving the crew of "Family with Children 3", Zuo Le rushed to visit the crew of "Senior Crime Unit 6" the next day.
Unlike the filming of "Family with Children 3", "Six Crimes" only started filming late last month, and Fan Min and others took two days off in the meantime. In addition, this is a new crew, and some actors and directors have
Not familiar with it, needs time to get used to it.
Therefore, the filming progress of "Serious Case Group 6" is not very fast. The 30-episode TV series started filming almost a month ago, and only about one-third of it was filmed.
Changqing Film and Television Base
The exterior scenes of "Serious Case Group Six" were shot at the Quancheng Criminal Investigation Team, but the interior scenes were shot in a separate studio.
When Zuo Le arrived at the group, he saw Kong Sheng and Fan Min in police uniforms talking about drama, and there was an acquaintance beside them.
Zuo Le was happy when he saw it. He went up and put his arms around the man's shoulders, and asked with a smile: "Second uncle, why are you here?"
The second uncle didn't expect to meet Zuo Le here, a smile appeared on his thin face, and then he explained.
"I was filming with a crew next to me. I happened to meet Mingyan when I went out for dinner that day. I knew there was a drama about our company here, so I came over to take a look. However, Director Kong got me and asked him to play a cameo role."
Relying on Captain Jia's explosive popularity, the second uncle has never been short of film appointments, and often takes roles outside. On the contrary, they are TV series produced by Shanhe itself. The second uncle mostly makes guest appearances and rarely stars.
Firstly, there really weren't any suitable roles, and secondly, the old man wanted to be modest and didn't want to compete with the company's internal artists for opportunities.
Anyway, I am not short of acting, and at this age, why bother blocking the way of those young people.
Zuo Le probably knew what the second uncle was thinking, but since there was really no suitable starring role for the second uncle in these dramas produced by Shanhe, he could only let the old man "wander" outside for a while, and then wait for a suitable role to be cast.
I hold my second uncle in my arms.
The uncle and nephew are both busy at work and often travel for filming. Although they are in the same company, they have not seen each other for several months. Now they are reunited unexpectedly, and they are quite happy.
Letting Kong Sheng and the others continue to be busy, Zuo Le took his second uncle aside and chatted with each other about their current situation, before Zuo Le took the time to ask.
"Second uncle, I'm here to make a guest appearance this time. Whatever role Kong Sheng wants you to play, don't delay your drama."
"If you don't want to delay, it's just the leader of a tomb-robbing gang who was arrested. He doesn't have much of a role. He mainly provides clues for a case. It's roughly two interrogations and an identification, which only takes a few minutes in total." The second uncle said easily.
"A grave robber?"
Zuo Le took a look at his second uncle's figure. He was dry, thin and short. He looked a bit like a ground mouse digging holes for ancestral graves.
Perhaps it was because Zuo Le's eyes were too obvious that his second uncle looked at him dissatisfied and asked angrily: "What kind of eyes do you have?"
"It's okay, I just think Kong Sheng has a good eye for casting."
Zuo Le touched his chin and began to make a habit of committing suicide: "I will ask Kong Sheng to put on a police uniform, play a guest role as a prison guard or an interrogation recorder, and imitate the ancients to exterminate relatives for justice."
"It's not right to be your grandma, and it's not right to be your mother... It's not right to be your father's daydream. You little bastard, no matter how old or young you are, if you dare to judge me, I will take off my shoes and slap you."
The second uncle was so angry that the beautiful atmosphere of the uncle-nephew reunion was completely wiped out. He pointed at Zuo Le and started spitting out the fragrance.
Hey, double push......
Fortunately, the second uncle also knew how to save face for Zuo Le in front of his subordinates in the company, and kept his voice low.
Otherwise, Zuo Le would be embarrassed when Fan Min and others saw their boss being trained like a son by his second uncle.
…………
Due to the strong opposition of his second uncle, Zuo Le's dream of being a police officer did not come true, but he still made a cameo role in "Serious Case Group Six".
He is a member of the tomb-robbing gang that the second uncle belongs to, and he is still the nephew of the second uncle in the play. He is a relative who commits crimes together, which can be regarded as a small easter egg in the play.
Afterwards, Zuo Le posted a photo of himself and his second uncle in handcuffs and prison uniforms on their neck scarves, and also @the official neck scarf of "Serious Case Group Six", which was regarded as promoting the crew.
As Zuo Le's debut work, "Underground Traffic Station" has a high status in the hearts of Zuo Le's fans.
Seeing that Captain Jia and Liu Ye appeared in a drama at the same time and were "brought to justice", it sparked discussions and emotions among many netizens.
[Decades after the Japanese invasion failed, Jia Gui and Lao Liu, who were lurking among the people, were finally caught]
[Hahaha, both uncle and nephew were arrested, the police are so powerful]
[Reunion in prison, never leaving, tears in eyes]
[It’s a pity that there is no Master Jiu. If Master Jiu were here, the three giants of the Anqiu Detective Team would be together]
[Hei Mengmeng, I really want to see him and Captain Jia together]
[Zuo Zei, is the third part of "Underground Traffic Station" still being filmed? 】
[It should be discontinued. At the end of "Traffic Stop No. 2", Kuroto was arrested, and Captain Mizugen and Captain Shi hinted that the War of Resistance is about to end. It is obvious that they do not plan to film the third part]
[The fight against the Japanese invasion is over, we can still film the civil war. I really like "Underground Traffic Station" and want to watch the third part]
["Underground Traffic Station 3", "Seven Swords 2", "Wulin Gaiden 2", "Story of the Cooking Class 3" Zuo Thief owes us many TV series]
[Don’t think about "Story of Cooking Class 3", Director Zuo already said in the interview of "Happy Dream Show" that "Story of Cooking Class 2" is the final chapter of the Cooking Class series]
[I have also seen it, it seems that at the end of "The Story of the Cooking Class 2", the squad leader, Dazhou and the others are about to retire, and the six members of the cooking class cannot be reunited]
[Ah, I am chasing a drama, and suddenly I feel a little reluctant to chase it. I really can’t let go of Squad Leader, Xiao Mao and the others. Can’t Director Zuo keep filming, like "Family with Children"]
[Timeline, "Family with Children" can film the children growing up, "Story of the Cooking Class" can't let the squad leader and others delay in retiring]
[Actually, I think we can film the story of the squad leader and the others after they were discharged from the army. For example, the squad leader and Lao Gao opened a restaurant together, and then had all kinds of stories with the guests. It's called "The Story of a Small Restaurant"]
[Isn't this just a modern remake of "Wulin Gaiden", but I support it]
【+1】
[Didn’t you say "Underground Traffic Station"? Why did you suddenly go to "The Story of the Cooking Class"? I digressed.]
[It doesn’t matter whether it’s off-topic or not, the key is that director Zuo shouldn’t neglect his job and hurry up to make a movie. No matter which drama is a sequel, hurry up and fix it]
【…………】
The expectations of these netizens and fans were very enthusiastic, but unfortunately they did not activate Zuo Le's "heart of stone".
After returning from a guest appearance in "Serious Case Group Six", Zuo Le officially started preparations for "Enter Guandong".
At the same time, under his instruction, the official website of Shanhe Pictures also began to release some information about Zuo Le's new drama "Crossing Guandong".
Although many people have learned from "Longing for Days" that Zuo Le's next new drama is a serious drama, there is no final official confirmation, so many people are taking a chance.
Maybe someone's conscience found out that he went to film "Wulin Gaiden 2"...
Until this time, Shanhe Pictures officially announced that Zuo Le's new drama "Enter Guandong" is inevitable.
A large number of fans who had been waiting for the sequel were suddenly filled with grief...
