Chapter 171 'Crossing the Guandong' starts broadcasting
Starting from mid-to-late May, Zuo Le gathered together a group of starring actors of "Enter Guandong" to start promoting.
"Enter Guandong" has a great cast. The director Zuo Le is a well-known and popular director in the industry. The male and female protagonists are respectively regarded as the emperor's queen. All the leading actors are also well-known artists.
Among the three brothers of the Zhu family, the eldest Sha Yi is on the front line, the second brother Gu Xiaoge is at the top of the entertainment industry, and the third brother Yu Entai is also very popular with Lu Xiucai in "Wulin Gaiden".
There are several daughters-in-law. The eldest daughter-in-law, Niu Ping, is the first sister of Kongwen and a familiar face from the Spring Festival Gala; the second daughter-in-law, Liu Meng, is slightly less famous, but she has participated in the Cooking Class and Health Team series, and many viewers know her.
Let’s not talk about the third daughter-in-law Zhang Jiajia. She has appeared in several hit dramas and is a popular star in the industry. In terms of popularity among the cast and crew, only Sha Yi and Gu Xiaoge can beat her. Song Jia, who plays the role of Xian’er, is not as good as Zhang Jiajia.
She is also a second-tier actress.
This group of people were recruited to attract celebrities, and they needed to be popular. In addition, Shanhe, Dongshan TV, and Penguin, which had invested heavily in the exclusive network broadcast rights of "Guandong", worked together to promote it through various channels.
"Enter Guandong", which was already well-known among TV drama fans, became frequently seen online in late May.
It can be said that it became popular before it was broadcast.
Under this turbulent wave, on Children's Day, June 1, 2020, "Crossing Guandong" premiered on Dongshan Satellite TV during prime time.
Beijing, a certain community
Song Jia, who was dressed in pajamas, was reluctantly pulled to the TV by her mother: "Stop playing on the computer. Your own TV series starts today. Why don't you pay attention to it at all? Come, sit down and watch it with me and your dad. Contribute."
Check out the ratings."
"Who says I don't care?"
Song Jia sat on the sofa and said a little helplessly: "I'm so busy that I'm dizzy. I've been doing promotions every day these days and I've lost track of time. I thought it was going to be broadcast tomorrow."
Father Song didn't say anything. He kept peeling an apple in his hand. Just after he finished peeling, Song Jia said "Thank you, Dad" and was about to take it over to eat. Unexpectedly, Father Song turned around and gave the apple to Mother Song.
"Wife, you eat."
Song's mother looked at her daughter proudly and took a big bite of the apple. Song Jia was dissatisfied.
"If you want to torture the dog like this, consider whether your daughter is in a good mood."
"I'm jealous?"
Song's mother glanced coldly: "I'm jealous of finding a boyfriend. Then someone will peel apples for you."
Song Jia: “………”
Sure enough, I shouldn't have spoken, otherwise any topic could be brought up to urge marriage.
Song Jia retreated without saying a word, but that didn't mean Song's mother could let her go. After taking a bite of the apple, Song's mother suddenly asked with great interest.
"Jiajia, when you were filming this scene, the crew didn't find a suitable one? I think that Gu Xiaoge is quite handsome. Your scarf and fans left messages saying that you two are a perfect match.
Tell Mom honestly, what is your impression of Gu Xiaoge and whether there is any possibility of development? Mom has checked, this young man has a good reputation, there is no dirty information, and he is much cleaner than those young freshmen."
"mom--"
Song Jia couldn't laugh or cry at her mother who liked to be matched with her boyfriend: "What are you thinking about? Brother Gu has a girlfriend."
"Have a girlfriend?!!!"
Song Ma was slightly disappointed at first, then her eyes suddenly lit up and she asked three questions in a series.
"When did Xiao Gu find a girlfriend? Who is his girlfriend? Is she pretty?"
"What do you want to do?"
Song Jia looked at her mother with some vigilance. Since she became an artist, her mother started to teach herself how to surf the Internet very early in order to have a common language with her daughter, and supported her on her neck every day.
Later, after hanging out for a long time, Song’s mother gradually became a senior aunt in the food circle. In addition to her daughter, she also occasionally chased other celebrities. At the same time, she also developed the habit of gossiping about the entertainment industry. She often chased her daughter with some entertainment revelations to ask the truth.
Fake.
Fortunately, Song's mother knows the rules. Usually, gossip is gossip, but she is still very strict with her words. Sometimes she can't help it, and she only dares to leak something if she logs into a small account.
The online news is true and false. If Song's mother uses a large account, relying on the title of "famous fan of Song Jia", some people can still believe her. If she uses a small account, no one will pay attention to her.
Song Jia also knew this, so she would occasionally satisfy her mother's curiosity.
"You tell mom, I won't tell anyone that Gu Xiaoge is in love. This is a huge secret."
Song's mother ran to her daughter's side, smiled ingratiatingly, and directed Song's father: "Old Song, peel an apple for your daughter."
Song Toolman Dad glanced at his wife who was crossing the river to demolish the bridge, sighed slightly, and silently picked up the apple and fruit knife.
After being coaxed by her mother for a while, Song Jia felt better and revealed a little bit of the shocking information she knew.
"Actually, I also found out by accident. It was Brother Gu's birthday and his girlfriend came to the set. Although the two of them were very low-key, I could tell at a glance that their relationship was unusual.
Later I asked Brother Gu, and he didn't hide it. He had been dating this girlfriend when he was still studying abroad, and they had been together for several years.
The reason why it was not announced to the public was mainly because his company was considering his career, but Brother Gu has never admitted that he is single, and his girlfriend is also very understanding and supportive of this. The two of them have a good relationship, and I heard that they are planning to get married."
"So that's what happened."
Song's mother nodded, and then started to diss: "What kind of shabby company is this? A young couple is not allowed to announce their relationship, and sooner or later they will become obscene."
"Freeze said."
Song Jia stopped her mother with some embarrassment: "The company that Brother Gu signed is Shanhe, the company that produced "Crossing Guandong". I have been in contact with them recently."
"Oh, it's the same company you told me you wanted to change to a few days ago, right?"
Song's mother suddenly realized it, and then immediately changed her tune: "Three hundred and sixty businesses have their own rules. This Shanhe company probably has its own reasons for doing this.
Moreover, you see that Shanhe Company has made Xiao Gu so popular, it will definitely become bigger and stronger in the future, and it will definitely make our Jiajia become famous."
Song Jia: “………”
She changes her face so quickly that she would like to regard her mother as the strongest.
Now that Song Jia's job hopping was mentioned and it was related to her daughter's future, Song's mother was not in the mood to care about Gu Xiaoge's gossip, so she pulled Song Jia and kept asking about Shanhe.
Father Song, who had been a transparent person just now, couldn't help but ask a few questions, and was particularly concerned about the life style of the company's senior executives.
Song Jia was amused by her father's question: "Don't worry, Dad, Boss Shanhe is the director of "Crossing the Guandong". He has a girlfriend, and his girlfriend and I have a pretty good relationship.
Moreover, the company leader who is in charge of our artists is a woman, so the kind of thing you are worried about will not happen at all."
"If you know people but don't know their hearts, you still have to be cautious." Dad Song was a little more relaxed, but still warned.
In contrast, Song's mother is not so worried. She knows her daughter's personality better than anyone else. She has been in the industry for several years and has never suffered a loss in this regard.
Right now, Song's mother is more concerned about her daughter's future new boss and boss wife.
"If you have a good relationship with the boss's wife, you should move around more in the future. Let me tell you, a good relationship with the boss's wife will be more useful than a good relationship with the boss.
What are your boss’s and boss’s wife’s names? I’ll check online to see if there’s any information you can use later.”
Song Jia couldn't resist her mother, so she told her the names of Zuo Le and Tian Yan. Song's mother picked up the Internet, looked at the photos of the two people on the screen, and frowned.
"What a flower..."
"Ahem."
Zuo Le is still very prestigious in Song Jia's heart. She took the initiative to speak for Zuo Le: "Although Director Zuo is... not very handsome, he is very talented. At a young age, he is one of the best directors in the industry. Jin Feng
The prize is easy to come by.
And in addition to being talented, he is also very rich. According to conservative estimates on the Internet, Director Zuo is worth at least 2 billion, and it is still increasing. He may be a billionaire in a few years."
"My dear."
After listening to her daughter's words, Song's mother sighed and looked at the screen of her mobile phone, and her feeling suddenly changed.
"Hey, I took a closer look and found that your future boss is actually not bad looking. He is very energetic and has a good temperament. Standing next to the boss's wife, he is talented and beautiful. They are a perfect match."
Song's mother, let alone Song Jia, couldn't bear to hear what Song's mother said. He pointed at the TV and forced himself to interrupt.
"Stop chatting now, the TV series has started."
Seeing that the title of "Enter Guandong" was already playing on the TV screen, Song's mother looked at Song Jia and asked.
"Are you in the first episode?"
"have."
"Then let's stop talking and watch TV. Lao Song, please turn up the TV sound."
When she heard that her daughter was on the stage, Song's mother decisively stopped chatting and started asking everyone to turn on the TV.
…………
As the opening song ends, an ancient map background appears on the screen, and then a paragraph of text floats over, introducing the audience to what "Enter Guandong" is.
Guandong refers to the three provinces outside Shanhaiguan east of Shanhaiguan.
Starting from the early Qing Dynasty, due to natural disasters, wars and other reasons, a large number of poor people in North China, forced to make a living, either traveled by dry road or waterway to the vast and resource-rich land outside the Customs to seek survival.
Among them, Dongshan people make up the majority, and 20 million Dongshan people have successively set foot on the land outside the Guan Guan. This wave of immigrants that has lasted for hundreds of years is also called the invasion of Guandong.
After the introduction of the theme, the main drama was played. Amidst the sound of music and music, a dozen people hugged the groom wearing red flowers on his head and chest, walking happily on the dirt road. The year was marked under the screen——
1904.
At this time, the Qing Dynasty has not yet died, but it will soon...
The pace of the plot is very fast at the beginning, and you can tell it through a few cuts and the dialogue between the characters.
The head of the old Zhu family, Zhu Kaishan, disappeared for four years. In order to wait for his father to come back, the marriage of the boss Chuanwen and the daughter of the old Tan family, Xian'er, was delayed again and again. Finally, it couldn't be delayed any longer. Chuanwen's mother made the decision and let her son get married.
The Tan family proposed a stone of millet as a betrothal gift.
When it came to the issue of betrothal gifts, Song's mother was very sensitive. She turned to look at Song's father: "Old Song, how much does this stone cost?"
Dad Song, who usually studies history, said: "The ancient measurement units were very complicated. In the late Qing Dynasty in 1904, one stone should be between 100 and 150 kilograms.
Because the place is different, the calculation is also different. Generally, it is about 100 kilograms or 120 kilograms."
"100 pounds of millet, the price is not high."
Song Ma nodded, but the plot quickly hit her face.
More than 100 kilograms of millet may not be a big deal in normal times, but now that the Zhu family and others are in a disaster year, more than 100 kilograms of millet is enough food for the family to survive. If relatives and neighbors had not helped to collect it, the Zhu family would not have been able to afford the betrothal gift.
Such important food was targeted by bandits.
Watching the drama in which Mrs. Wen stood in front of her three sons and, as a woman, fought with the vicious bandits. Although she was forced to hand over the food in the end, she ensured that her sons escaped unscathed. Dad Song couldn't help but click.
head.
"The mother is the son, and she plays this role well."
"That's right, Teacher Wang Yan is the queen. Mom, Teacher Wang is very kind to us. Now Brother Sha, Brother Gu, and Sister Niu all call Teacher Wang "Mother" when they see her.
In fact, Song Jia also shouted, but in order not to cause dissatisfaction to her mother, she took the initiative to hide it.
Song's mother didn't know her daughter's little thoughts. She watched Wen's mother in the drama. She first argued with the bandits, then apologized to her in-laws, and firmly protected her three sons from the wind and rain.
As both mothers, Song's mother swapped herself with Wen's mother, thinking that she was not as good as Wen's mother in the play, and she couldn't help but sigh.
"It's not easy being a mother."
The Song family was lamenting that the TV plot was still going on and there was no food. The Tan family firmly refused to marry their daughter. Finally, it was revealed that the head of the family, Zhu Kaishan, who had been missing for four years, was actually killed by the government during the Boxer Rebellion.
The four members of the Zhu family were devastated by the news and were not in the mood to get married. They went home and sat in sorrow. At this time, an old acquaintance came to report and brought good news to the Zhu family.
Zhu Kaishan did not die, but fled to Guandong. Now he had established a firm foothold. He asked someone to send a message asking Wen Tainiang to take her three sons to Yuanbao Town in Sanjiangkou outside Guanwan to join him.
In this scene, Wang Yan, who plays Wen Ta Niang, contributed explosive acting skills.
Hearing that her husband who was rumored to be dead is still alive, Wen Ta's wife bursts into tears of joy. These two simple scenes make people feel a variety of emotional changes.
From disbelief at the beginning to joy after confirmation, and then deep joy, mixed with a little bit of relief, and yearning and expectation for the future.
Not to mention that Song Jia, a professional actor, was quite shocked after watching this. Even Song’s father and Song’s mother, two ordinary viewers who didn’t know much about acting, also praised Wang Yan’s performance after watching it.
Don't think that the audience is ignorant. They may not understand the subtle and professional aspects of actors' acting skills, but they know what it means to be in a role.
If an actor can bring the audience into the plot and feel the emotions, anger, sorrow and joy of the character, that is called good acting and superb level.
No matter how well an actor performs, the audience doesn't feel the same at all, but if he doesn't act, then his acting skills are average or barely up to standard.
The actor is obviously crying in the play, but the audience is not only not moved but also wants to laugh. This is a sign of poor acting.
Wang Yan is undoubtedly the first type, and even the best of the first type. In less than half an episode, she has convinced all the Song family.
Song's father even took this opportunity to educate his daughter Song Jia, asking her to learn from her. When will she be worthy of the profession of actor if she has Wang Yan's level?
Song Jianna said yes, but she was smiling bitterly in her heart. Teacher Wang Yan was the queen of Jinfengshi, with decades of acting experience. It would not be an ordinary difficulty to catch up with her...
