Chapter 188 Golden supporting role, ace green leaves
To be honest, before CCTV wooed Zuo Le, they thought that this matter would not succeed easily.
After all, Zuo Le was born in Dongshantai, and several high-level executives of Dongshantai were kind to him. Moreover, unlike Zhang Mei, after Zuo Le became famous, he did not become enemies with Dongshantai due to interests or other reasons.
Even when Zuo Le left Dongshandai to establish Sunward Pictures, Dongshantai invested a lot of money and became a small shareholder of Sunward. It is also the only one other than Zuo Le who owns shares in Sunward.
Of course, Dongshantai's acquisition of a stake in Shanhe was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. At that time, both parties should have said that they each had what they needed and were wooing each other.
But in any case, Zuo Le's independence did not affect the relationship with Dongshantai. On the contrary, after a series of in-depth cooperation, the relationship between the two became closer.
To this day, the relationship between the two families can be said to be as close as glue to each other.
Under such circumstances, CCTV did not expect that as soon as it opened its mouth, Zuo Le would abandon Dongshantai and come to CCTV. It was simply unrealistic.
Their plan was to impress Zuo Le first, leave a gap in his heart, and then slowly win him over with various inducements, and finally succeed.
However, CCTV never expected that Zuo Le would react so coldly and seemed not interested at all in the conditions they proposed.
This left them somewhat frustrated and began to doubt the influence of CCTV. At the same time, they also had a new assessment of Zuo Le's "loyalty" to Dongshan TV.
This poaching against Dongshantai seems not as simple as they thought...
After a bad start, CCTV temporarily stopped its activities in order not to attract the attention of Dongshan Station, and Zuo Le himself did not make any announcements.
There is a saying that CCTV's strength is here, and if there is a chance, he would not mind cooperating with it.
In addition, Dongshantai spent a lot of money to poach Zhang Mei, which gave Zuo Le a sense of crisis.
It's not because of Zhang Mei. Although this newly famous female director has two talents, she is far from being able to threaten Zuo Le.
Mainly because Zuo Le smelled something different from Dongshantai's actions this time. Dongshantai seemed unwilling to bet all his treasures on Shanhe like before.
Intellectually, Zuo Le understands his old club's behavior.
After all, no matter how good a partner is, it is not as good as one's own. Besides, Dongshan TV is a local provincial station and cannot place its ratings lifeline on a private company.
To strike, you need to be tough. If he were the leader of Dongshantai, he would do the same.
But understanding is understanding. Intellectually Zuo Le agrees, but emotionally Zuo Le cannot accept it.
It is almost certain that Dongshan TV will be promoted to a first-tier TV station by the end of the year. During this period, if there are rewards based on merit, he and Shan He will occupy the majority, so taking the top spot is not an exaggeration at all.
However, Dongshan TV has not yet taken the position of a first-line TV station, and it has begun to prepare to "kill the donkey".
Of course, this statement is a bit exaggerated and excessive, but Dongshantai did not have any intention of preventing separation from Shanhe in the future.
That's fooling a fool.
Zuo Le treated his old club wholeheartedly, and other TV stations repeatedly tried to woo him with huge sums of money, but Shanhe Tongtong ignored him. Now that Dongshan TV has come out like this, it is not to mention disappointing, and it is a little bit embarrassing.
To give an inappropriate metaphor——
In the past, Dong Shantai was his parents and Zuo Le (Shan He) was his adopted son. Everyone was as close as one family. The parents even gave Zuo Le their property (viewing share), and Zuo Le's status in the family was also very high.
Therefore, Zuo Le, the adopted son, worked very hard for the family. Other TV stations (other TV stations) used their daughters (with heavy profits) to recruit him as a son-in-law, but he refused to go and devoted himself to making the family business prosperous.
At this time, the parents suddenly thought of their biological son (the production center). In order to provide for themselves in old age (to prepare for a rainy day), they planned to raise their biological son as well, and in the future they would also give part of the "family property" to their younger son.
Although Zuo Le is still the eldest son in the family, and most of the "family property" will be 80% his in the future, he is an adopted son after all, and he has to murmur in his heart when he should.
If you have any disagreements with your parents in the future, you must have an in-laws (fallback) to whom you can rely...
To put it bluntly, Dongshantai can be bet separately to prepare for a rainy day, and Zuo Le can also find an extra basket to put eggs in to be prepared.
And CCTV is one of the basket alternatives...
…………
At this time, the time has come to August. The finale of "The Story of a College Student" was aired at the end of July. In the end, it still did not reach 1.8, and the average ratings of the whole drama stopped at 1.75.
However, it is worth mentioning that the score of "Story of a College Student" has reached 8.5, which is the same as the first one in the "Family with Children" series, which has the highest reputation.
This is also related to the fact that most of its fans are young people. After all, these talents are the main force in online film and television ratings.
However, most of the loyal fans of "Family with Children" are children and teenagers. In comparison, their right to speak is still lagging behind.
Maybe after a few years or more, these die-hard fans of "Family with Children" will grow up, and maybe there will be a word-of-mouth counterattack.
But in any case, with a ratings of 1.75 and a Douhua score of 8.5, "The Story of a College Student" has delivered excellent results and has successfully established its influence among young people, laying the foundation for its sequel.
Now, the Shanhe editorial department has begun writing the script for "College Student Story 2".
As expected, the second part will be released after the new year. "Family with Children" is currently scheduled for the Spring Festival. Zuo Le feels that "The Story of a College Student" can be placed on the summer schedule.
The two best times of the year, these two sitcoms, Shanhe, happen to be one for each family.
The good ratings of "Story of College Students" also made the four-person group in Dormitory 222 famous.
Among them, the most popular one is Shen Teng, who plays Li Fanda. He is now the hottest new star in the ghost zone of the currency station and is quite popular.
Next is Guo Jinfei, a young man who is responsible for the good looks in the dormitory. His character in the drama is also lovable and he has gained many fans.
This little drama prince has been in the industry for many years, and now he finally knows what it’s like to be a star.
The remaining Lei Jiayin and Jiang Chao also gained a lot, but they were not as conspicuous as Shen Teng and Guo Jinfei.
Especially Jiang Chao, before he acted in "The Story of a College Student", he became a well-known actor throughout the country because of the "Story of the Cooking Class" series, "Wulin Gaiden", "Serious Case Group Six" and other dramas. Now he is just the icing on the cake.
.
Unfortunately, Jiang Chao's own image is limited, and his acting career is relatively narrow. After being around for so long, he has never found any significant male lead, and can only be a green leaf beside the male protagonist.
Fortunately, Jiang Chao's own career ambitions are not very strong. Although he also wants to be the first male actor, he is not opposed to the second male lead, third male lead, etc.
Now with so many dramas under his belt, Jiang Chao has performed well and his reputation has been rising steadily, becoming a bit of a golden supporting role.
Although Jiang Chao's development momentum among the male artists who came to Shanhe from Kongwen is not as good as that of Sha Yi, Fan Min and others, he is not far behind. He himself is still very satisfied.
When Jiang Chao was still in Kongwen, he lived in an old dormitory in a bungalow assigned to the regiment. If he wanted to use some tap water in winter, he had to boil water and turn on the water pipes. Life was not hard, but it was not very comfortable either.
Later, when he came to Shanhe, he starred in several hit dramas and received a lot of remuneration. The company also got him several endorsements and commercial performances, which earned him considerable income.
Now, Jiang Chao has bought a house in Quancheng, which is not very luxurious, but he no longer has to boil water and water pipes in winter.
Because of this, Jiang Chao was very grateful to Zuo Le. Sometimes when he was interviewed or appeared on talk shows, he respected Zuo Le very much and often said that Zuo Le was the noble person in his life.
No one dislikes people who are always grateful, and Zuo Le is no exception.
"Serious Case Group Six" and "The Story of a College Student" are two key projects promoted by Shanhe. Jiang Chao was able to get important roles in them. His "loyalty" to Zuo Le is one of the reasons.
Next, "Serious Case Group 6 2" has confirmed that the original cast will continue to star. Of course, there will be new starring roles in it, but Jiang Han, played by Jiang Chao, is still an important starring role in the drama.
Jiang Han, plus Lu Pangpang in the sequel to "The Story of a College Student", these two roles alone are enough for Jiang Chao to further consolidate his reputation.
Not to mention, Shanhe will continue to develop new projects in the future, and as the backbone of the company's artists, Jiang Chao will definitely have a place in them.
It can be said that Jiang Chao's journey to a golden supporting role has just begun...
…………
Jiang Chao's successful experience also inspired Lei Jiayin, who had just entered Shanhe.
Lei Jiayin, who has been severely beaten by the entertainment industry, has a set of psychological positioning for herself.
He understood that although he signed into Shanhe together with Shen Teng and Guo Jinfei, his conditions were far inferior to those of these two companions.
Needless to say about Shen Teng, Zuo Le personally signed the contract and first became the assistant director in "The Story of a College Student", and later directly made him the leading actor in "The Story of a College Student".
You know, although "The Story of a College Student" claims to have four protagonists, the four protagonists actually have priorities.
In terms of roles and importance alone, Li Fanda played by Shen Teng can be regarded as the leading actor in the play, and Lin Dachong played by Guo Jinfei as the second male lead is even comparable to Li Fanda to a certain extent.
As for Liu Xiaodao played by Lei Jiayin and Lu Pangpang played by Jiang Chao, they can only be regarded as the fourth male and the third male. This is because they had a love scene in the first film.
Now, Shen Teng has been brought by Zuo Le personally to participate in "Magic Phone", and the intention of focusing on training has been made undisguised.
Coupled with the fact that Li Fanda is currently on fire, it is no accident that Shen Teng will be favored by the company soon.
As for his classmate and friend Guo Jinfei, although he is not as good as Shen Teng in "Jane in the Emperor's Heart", he is a little drama prince with excellent acting skills and good looks. Now his popularity has skyrocketed and he has a bright future.
On the other hand, I have no obvious advantages in acting, appearance, or popularity. If I want to defeat the two of them and take the top spot, I have little hope.
It is better to learn from Jiang Chao and concentrate on being a green leaf first, slowly accumulate fame and hone your strength.
Although his image is not very good, his career path is not as narrow as Jiang Chao's. If he is lucky, he may not be able to encounter the opportunity to take off in the future.
Lei Jiayin, who has the dream of becoming a big star, decided to be a green leaf first, and after becoming the ace green leaf, he would then counterattack and become a red flower...
