Chapter 175 Live broadcast and college entrance examination
"Celebrities accompany you to watch the show" live broadcast room
Zuo Le and the others could clearly see the comments from the audience on the big screen.
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw a group of netizens beating Song Jia to pieces in the barrage.
Li Youbin, who is a little older and doesn't know much about how funny netizens are, almost laughed out loud due to his lack of experience.
Song Jia herself was quite calm, and even a little bit happy. After all, "fighting" also proved her popularity in disguise.
The barrage was lively, but the program still had to go through the process. The host briefly introduced Zuo Le and the others to the audience in the live broadcast room. Everyone greeted the audience one by one, and the barrage also responded enthusiastically.
After the process of introducing the guests, the official viewing of the drama began in the live broadcast room. With a wave of his hand, the screen began to play the 9th episode of "Crossing Guandong".
The opening song started playing, and Doudou took this opportunity to introduce the topic and start a chat:
"Director Zuo, many viewers are curious, why is there no lyrics to the opening theme song of Into the Guandong, just pure music?"
"The main reason is that there is insufficient funding."
Zuo Lepi paused for a moment, and then answered seriously: "Actually, I chose a few opening songs, but none of them were very satisfactory, especially compared to the ending song "Homeland".
Later, after discussing with several music teachers, I simply decided not to use the opening song, and only retained the ending song "Homeland", which is also the theme song of "Guandong"."
"So that's what happened."
Doudou showed the host's usual expression of sudden realization, then quickly changed the topic to "Homeland" and looked at Zuo Ledao with admiration.
"The song "Homeland" is very popular right now. It is ranked at the top on several music software. Many well-known singers and singers recommend and praise "Homeland".
I heard that the lyrics and music are all written by Director Zuo. You are a director, screenwriter, actor, and song writer. You are really versatile."
"Ahem, it's mainly because teachers Zhang Huan and Song Yingying sing well." Zuo Le said with a slightly unnatural humility.
Although Zuo Le has become very thick-skinned now, he is still a little embarrassed when he is praised for his good song writing in front of thousands of viewers in the live broadcast room.
After all, he just copied the lyrics and handed them to the singers. He was so praised and praised that he really deserved it.
In contrast, he can feel better when others praise Zuo Le's TV series. After all, from the script, to shooting, and then to the post-production, the process was all handled by Zuo Le, and there are many of his own ideas and new things in it.
Although both are essentially plagiarism, at least in the latter, Zuo Le can deceive himself and others that he has made efforts and is relatively confident.
Several people were chatting, the barrage was not idle, and the discussions were endless.
[Director Zuo is so humble]
[Humility is fake, go check out the collection of winning video clips from the Zuo Le Golden Phoenix Awards, this guy is crazy (laughing and crying)]
[Haha, I’m here, I’m here again, I hope I can come again next year... I feel like Director Zuo has won so many awards, and he will lose every word in his acceptance speech from now on]
[I have no words now. Last year, when the top ten TV dramas were awarded, this guy’s acceptance speech totaled less than ten sentences (laughing)]
[I confess, I am actually a fan of Director Zuo. I hope he can write more songs and release a better album. I can sing them myself or others.]
[Zuo Le is really good at writing songs, and several of them are quite popular]
[I like "Homeland" the most, I think it is the best song Zuo Le has ever written]
[+1, in addition to "Homeland", I also like the two songs from "Seven Swords"]
[Is the ending song "Xia Ke Xing" of "Wulin Gaiden" so unsatisfactory? From that time when Pangu opened the sky and split the earth, the chivalrous world is governed by etiquette and righteousness... What a classic]
[Wow, did this director write all these songs? Sure enough, a person cannot be judged by his appearance]
[…What do you mean by the previous one? Questioning my director Zuo’s appearance]
[It’s not a question, it’s a fact]
【???】
【…………】
Seeing the next few barrages, Zuo Le's eyes twitched slightly, then ignored them and watched the show with Li Youbin and others.
The ninth episode of "Crossing Guandong" tells the story of Xian'er, who lost her virginity to the bully Chen Wuye in tears in order to save her master. Then she left the theater troupe and accidentally came to the mountain farm. She was hungry and cold, and was rescued by the prostitute Hong Jie.
The prostitute Hong Jie is a very interesting character. In the play, she introduces her experience to Xian'er.
In her early years, Sister Hong was also the daughter of a good family and married into a wealthy family in the village.
A few days before she got married, she went to the town to watch a play. In the chaos of the crowd, she was touched by an unknown ghost on the buttocks. In a panic, Sister Hong screamed, but her reputation was ruined.
Her husband's family broke off the engagement, and Sister Hong was despised by her neighbors. Her marriage was repeatedly rejected, not to mention ordinary families, even lame and blind people did not want her.
Sister Hong is also a temperamental person. Seeing this, she simply breaks the rules and steals men and families every day, causing them to be upset and the house restless.
Later, she was caught, tied up and thrown into the river. She was not destined to die. She met the one-armed old man in the mountain field and was saved by him.
With nowhere to go, Sister Hong followed Lao Yiju to the mountain farm and worked in the entertainment service industry. There were many single men in the mountain farm, and Sister Hong had a monopoly on the business, so her life was enjoyable.
After hearing Xian'er's story, Sister Hong admired this sister who was loyal and affectionate. Regardless of Lao Yiju's objections, she kept Xian'er to help with the logistics at the mountain farm, sewing and cooking.
During this period, many of Shanchang Hongjie's customers thought it was a new employee from Hongjie Entertainment Company, and they were very excited for a while. Xian'er almost had an accident.
Fortunately, she was rescued in time by Sister Hong and was frightened by the authority of the one-armed boss, so Xian'er survived.
After that, the mountain field was sawed, and Lao Yiju led everyone to set up a memorial and pay tribute, and lit incense to worship the mountain god. This scene was very shocking and very contemporary.
The host Doudou asked questions about this section with great eyesight, and Zuo Le was happy to praise himself and the crew.
"This scene was completely shot according to the old rituals of the early years. When we originally wrote this script, we checked a lot of relevant information and consulted experts on folk customs from outside the country.
During the specific shooting, we also specifically referred to several local old people who had experience in logging in the mountain field. The processes, slogans, and details were almost 90% restored to the sawing ceremony of the mountain field outside Guanwai for more than 100 years.
In order to film this scene, the actors and staff endured a lot of hardships. They stayed in the freezing temperature of minus 40 degrees outside the customs every day. They gritted their teeth and no one backed down and went on strike.
Especially the old man who played the role of the one-armed old man. He was seventy years old and he cooperated with the crew intensively throughout the filming.
To be honest, when I think about it now, I am scared myself. If something happens to the old man, I will die forever."
Speaking of this paragraph, Zuo Le himself felt a little emotional, and the three people next to him, Li Youbin, also looked sad.
The filming of the scenes at the gold farm and the forestry farm in "Enter Guandong" was when the filming environment was the worst and most difficult for the crew. All three of them participated. Looking back now, they all wonder how they managed to survive in the first place.
Listening to Zuo Le's words, the barrage was full of praise.
[A tribute to the dedicated crew and actors of "Crossing Guandong"]
[I have seen an interview with Teacher Li Youbin on another program. He said that the red faces of the actors in the snow show have very little makeup and most of them are caused by the cold.]
[This is the real actor, not the stars]
[Can you please stop using those people to insult the word actor?]
[Call that Ma Yibo here, he can last three hours in this environment, I will take his last name]
[Isn’t there news some time ago that Ma Yibo injured his finger during filming and was sent to emergency room. The wound healed as soon as he arrived at the hospital (picking his nose)]
[It’s not that exaggerated, but the injury is really not serious, it’s a bit of a fuss.]
[Actors are also human beings. In fact, we understand when they get injured, but it would be too embarrassing to issue a press release and let the navy take the lead, and show off the injury and work hard.]
[Yes, look at what Director Zuo just said about these actors. Their environment is so difficult, but they are not so exaggerated. They are just used as behind-the-scenes of the shooting, and we can talk about it afterwards]
【…………】
The barrage was very complimentary. Zuo Le and others looked calm on the outside, but they were actually quite happy in their hearts.
However, they also know that the comments made by the barrage audience are a bit one-sided. They are all insiders. They know that they are not the only ones who have suffered hardships. There are also many people who have endured the harsh winter and heat. There are many truly dedicated actors.
Of course, some traffic stars who like to hype up are not included in this list...
After that, the plot is connected with the previous part about Gu Xiaoge filming a snow scene naked.
Not long after the sawing started at the mountain farm, Zhu Chuanwu, who was at odds with his family, went to look for his father Zhu Kaishan and accidentally ended up here, where he met his sister-in-law Xian'er who had never been married.
After the two lamented the change of things and people, Chuanwu planned to stay in the mountain farm. Lao Yizu disagreed and designed him to catch the wolf, hoping that Chuanwu would retreat in spite of the difficulties. Chuanwu went to catch the wolf and was frostbitten.
Sister and Xian'er dragged her back and rescued her in the snow.
If this plot is not explained more, it would be a shame for Gu Xiaoge to be offended. Zuo Le did not speak this time, letting Gu Xiaoge say that he had been in the live broadcast room for a while and he couldn't just steal the limelight.
However, Gu Xiaoge might not be too embarrassed to take credit for himself and spoke very modestly. In the end, Zuo Le couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to reconstruct what happened at that time. Song Jia, who was also involved in the incident, added next to him.
It was 30 degrees below zero, and I was naked and rubbed myself with real snow.
The host Doudou and the audience in the live broadcast room felt cold just listening to it. With the pictures on the TV, they looked at Gu Xiaoge with admiration.
What an actor!
Needless to say, Gu Xiaoge's fans in the live broadcast room were just distressed and had rainbow farts.
After listening to the song, ordinary passers-by also admired Gu Xiaoge and seemed to have become fans.
Even many people who were originally disgusted with Gu Xiaoge now have a great change in their impression of Gu Xiaoge. They think that Gu Xiaoge is a aside, but in terms of professionalism, he is definitely eight blocks away from those celebrities who are also the same as him.
…………
After wiping herself, in order to keep Chuanwu's body warm, Xian'er unbuttoned her clothes, hugged Chuanwu and used her own body to keep him warm.
This paragraph can be regarded as a foreshadowing. From this moment on, the relationship between Xian'er and Chuanwu develops in an ambiguous direction from the relationship between sister-in-law (who has not yet married) and brother-in-law.
After that, Chuanwu stayed in the mountain field, and gradually gained the appreciation of Lao Yiju by virtue of his daring to fight and his stubborn temper. The focus of the plot shifted to Zhu Kaishan's side in the gold field.
If the second son Zhu Chuanwu's success in the mountain farm was due to his fledgling fear of death and his reckless energy.
That old man, Zhu Kaishan, relied on his shrewd and sophisticated actions and his righteous and affectionate character to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger. From the beginning, he endured the anger and gradually became friends with the gold diggers. He gradually opened up the situation in the gold field and conquered a large number of people.
Help the gold diggers and become a leader among the workers.
In particular, the section about transporting money out of the mountain can be regarded as the biggest climax of the first ten episodes of "Crossing Guandong". The rhythm is refreshing and the atmosphere is just right.
Zhu Kaishan fought wits and intrigues with bandits, officers and soldiers, Jin Baotou and many other forces, and led the workers to a great victory.
Not only did he kill the two brothers who bullied him before, and avenged his brother He Laosi, he also gained a lot, and he also showed his ability to throw hidden weapons.
I have been practicing martial arts since I was 8 years old, and I know a little about South Fist and North Kung Fu...
…………
During the two hours of the live broadcast of "Celebrities Accompany You to Watch the Show", Zuo Le and others broke the news. They chatted happily, and the audience was also very happy to watch. The atmosphere was quite good.
Towards the end, there were nearly 3 million people online in the live broadcast room. Of course, with penguins’ peeing habits, there was a lot of water in the data.
However, judging from the live broadcast room barrage activity, there are indeed a lot of viewers watching this show. A conservative estimate is that there must be several thousand people.
Afterwards, the producer of the program team revealed to Zuo Le and others that they had actual statistics backstage and found that the average peak number of people online for the live broadcast of "Celebrities Accompany You to Watch the Show" was about 5,000+.
This live broadcast by Zuo Le and the crew of "Crossing Guandong", even if it didn't break the record, was not far behind.
Of course, the popularity is so hot this time not only due to Zuo Le and others, but also to Penguin Video’s strong publicity.
In order to attract traffic and promote "Crossing Guandong", Penguin has placed advertisements on this website and several large online platforms.
Before and after this live broadcast, there were 4 hot searches related to the scarf alone, and no one knew how many of these 4 hot searches were purchased by Penguin Video.
Perhaps because of the good publicity effect of this live broadcast, Penguin Video soon contacted Shanhe again, preparing to invite the creator of "Crossing Guandong" to participate in several of their popular online variety shows of Penguin Video.
As the old saying goes, it is the producer's responsibility to cooperate with the platform in publicity under reasonable requirements. What's more, appearing on popular variety shows will also help the actor's popularity. Shanhe has no reason to refuse.
However, this time Zuo Le will not lead the team by himself. He has other things to be busy with.
June 7th and 8th are the big days of the year in China - the college entrance examination.
More than ten years ago, Zuo Le experienced it personally, and now it is Miss Zuo's turn.
On June 6, Zuo Le and Tian Yan drove back to Zhaoshi to prepare to accompany Miss Zuo for the exam and cheer her up.
Zuo Xiao was very touched that his brother and future sister-in-law could take time out of their busy schedules to accompany him in the college entrance examination. Zuo Guoqiang and Zhuang Cuicui were also relieved.
To be honest, many parents are more nervous about the college entrance examination than the students themselves, which invisibly increases the pressure on the candidates and is not advisable.
Fortunately, when their son Zuo Le returned, the old couple suddenly had a backbone, and they felt relaxed, and most of the slightly depressive atmosphere at home disappeared.
After feeling relaxed, Miss Zuo was still clamoring to have a big meal to prepare herself for the battle, but Zuo Le stopped her.
Before and during the exam, it is best to eat at home, mainly home-cooked meals and nutritional supplements. Don’t eat big fish or meat, as it will be very troublesome for candidates if they eat too much.
As for the big meal, you can eat it anytime after the exam.
On the morning of June 7, the family served Miss Zuo for breakfast. Before going out, Zuo Le personally checked Zuo Xiao's admission ticket, ID card and stationery.
Then the whole family went out together to Zuo Xiao's test center. After arriving safely, Zuo Le dressed up in disguise and got out of the car with his parents to see Zuo Xiao enter. Tian's face was slightly more recognizable and he stayed in the car to wait.
On the way, Zuo Le warned his sister Qian: "Don't be nervous, be sure to review the questions well, pay attention to the time, check over them several times after writing, and protect the answer sheet so that no one will tear it up..."
Also, don’t rush out of the examination room. If you meet a reporter for an interview, remember to mention a few words about "Crossing Guandong" and I will give you publicity fees."
Miss Zuo: “…………”
Giving Zuo Le a hard look, Zuo Xiao stepped into the examination room door, but unknowingly, his slightly nervous mood relaxed a lot.
After a while, the exam started and the door to the exam center was closed. After fifteen minutes, no one was allowed to enter. As a result, we encountered two late candidates.
The entry time is fixed, and the security guards will definitely not dare to let late candidates in. No matter how much the two candidates and their parents beg, the door will still be closed.
Looking at the two students squatting on the ground in despair, and the reporters beside them who were eager to interview, Zuo Le from a distance sighed, but didn't have much sympathy.
Every year there are college entrance examinations, and there are news every year about students being late or going to the wrong exam room. It can obviously be avoided, but it is careless, and now it is too late to regret it.
Looking away from the two students, Zuo Le discovered that a group of parents nearby were aggressively surrounding a young man, pushing and shoving him and scolding him loudly.
Zuo Le hurried over and after asking the insider, he was speechless. It turned out that this young man was from an educational institution and was blocking the door of the college entrance examination center handing out leaflets to parents.
It doesn't matter if he distributes leaflets. The key is that this guy is out of his mind. The theme of the leaflets he distributes is about repeat reading.
You said this is not looking for trouble!
It would be unlucky for you to wait for your child to repeat the exam as soon as the college entrance examination begins, and to bother the parents without telling them.
Looking at the young man surrounded by his parents, if it weren't for the police and reporters on duty, he would have been beaten long ago. Even Zuo Le would have wanted to slap him if he hadn't been afraid of being recognized.
what is this…………

ps: Thank you all for your concern. I’m much better after taking some eye drops. I’ll see if I can finish another chapter tonight and post it tomorrow morning.
