Chapter 191: Three consecutive kills and 'Go Boys'
After being inexplicably given the title of "the most beloved crew in history", the crew of "Magic Phone" can attract large-scale onlookers whenever they shoot on location.
There were often hundreds of people, and sometimes even nearly a thousand people. Not to mention the increased pressure on the crew and logistics, even the government was alerted and the police were specially sent to help maintain order. Zuo Le finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But at the same time, I was a little embarrassed. The police force was already tight, and filming a movie by myself also took up public resources.
It just so happened that Zuo Le heard Kong Sheng say last time that when he was filming "Serious Case Group Six", he found that many police cars in the units below Quancheng were old and not even enough.
After the filming of "Magic Phone" is completed, Zuo Le plans to donate 20 to 30 cars to the Quancheng City Bureau in the name of the crew to express his gratitude.
It's really just a matter of gratitude. Zuo Le has no intention of having any relations with the Quancheng police...
The "Magic Phone" series only has 42 episodes, which is not too many. The crew started shooting on June 20, and in nearly two months now, they have basically shot most of the scenes.
By the end of August, the live-action scenes should be almost complete, and there will also be some green screens. It is estimated that the crew will complete the filming in 10 days to half a month.
Because there are many special effects in the later period, the workload of post-production may be greater than that of ordinary TV series. However, since the post-production has caught up during the filming period, the special effects and editing teams have begun to carry out preliminary work, so the progress is still guaranteed.
It is estimated that the finished product will be available in mid-to-late October. What Zuo Le needs to consider is whether "Magic Phone" should be broadcast at the end of 2020 or on New Year's Day in early 2021.
As for the Spring Festival release, it will be in mid-February next year, which is a bit far away. "Magic Phone" will have to wait for more than three months.
Moreover, "Family with Children 4", which is about to start filming, has been scheduled for the Spring Festival, so Shanhe cannot afford to offend its own family.
Dongshan TV's idea is to put it in November, just in time for a big explosion at the end of the year to wrap up 2020. Zuo Le also has the same idea, but he is not doing it for ratings, but for the Golden Phoenix Award.
"Family with Children" and "Seven Swords" in 2018, "Wulin Gaiden" and "Cooking Class Story 2" in 2019, Zuo Le's two TV series have been ranked in the top ten for two consecutive years.
Next year Shanhe will be involved in the film industry. In the future, Zuo Le will probably shift his focus to movies. Even if he still shoots TV series every year, it will not be enough to maintain two movies a year like now.
In other words, the next time two TV series will be in the top ten in the same year is uncertain.
Therefore, this year is a rare opportunity. More importantly, if Zuo Le can still be listed in two of the top ten this year, he will have achieved this achievement for three consecutive years.
A rare record of three kills in a row, few people can resist this temptation.
In addition, Zuo Le won the Golden Phoenix Award for Best Director twice in a row in 2018 and 2019. If he wins the award again this year, he will have completed three consecutive wins for the Golden Phoenix Award for Best Director.
Coupled with the fact that "Enter Guandong" is almost guaranteed to win the annual ratings championship, Zuo Le is very hopeful that he can win three heavyweights and achieve a triple kill.
Two films were listed in the top ten, best director, and annual ratings champion in the same year, which respectively represent the influence of Zuo Le's works, personal achievements, and ratings.
November this year is Zuo Le's 30th birthday. If Zuo Le really achieves such a brilliant achievement in his thirties, he will reach the top of the TV drama field.
Zuo Le is looking forward to this very much. The annual ratings championship of "Enter Guandong" is almost guaranteed, and he is also a strong contender for Best Director, and even the biggest favorite.
Now we have to see whether "Magic Phone" is good enough and can break into the top ten...
…………
Zuo Le was quietly gearing up for the Golden Phoenix Award at the end of the year on the set of "Magic Phone".
Gao Xinjian's "Go Boy" and Kong Sheng's "Don't Talk to Strangers" have been completed and are ready to be broadcast on Dongshan Satellite TV.
The two dramas actually have somewhat conflicting schedules. Fortunately, they both have a small number of episodes. "Go" has 20 episodes and "Don't Talk to Strangers" has 22 episodes. The influence on each other is not too great. After coordination, "Go" took the lead in Dongshan.
Broadcast on satellite TV.
Having filmed two movies of "Family with Children", Gao Xinjian's name is still quite famous, and there are also two child stars, Xia Xue (Yang Qing) and Liu Xing (Zhang Shan), as the leading actors, and there are a lot of familiar faces in the supporting roles.
"Go Boy" received a lot of attention before it was aired. After it was aired, it received good word-of-mouth results.
It has been broadcast for more than half of the time, with an average ratings of 1.4 and a Douhua score of 8.2.
It's definitely not as good as "A Family with Children", but Gao Xinjian is still very satisfied. At least it proves that besides "A Family with Children", he can also make other TV series well.
The most noteworthy thing about the popularity of "Go Boy" is that it has set off a wave of Go craze among children and teenagers.
As a TV series in which the protagonists are all teenagers, it is naturally easy to attract the attention of children and teenagers, not to mention Liu Xing and Xia Xue already have a huge fan base among children and teenagers.
It can be said that at least 1/3 of the ratings of "Go Boy" are provided by children.
In these children's TV series, Jiang Liu'er kills everyone, defeats all the masters, and takes part in it. Naturally, he becomes interested in Go. He tells his parents later that he wants to learn Go.
When parents heard this, they thought this was a good thing. It can not only cultivate children's interests and hobbies, but also exercise their brain power. It kills two birds with one stone.
I checked online again and found that the fifth-dan amateur Go level is equivalent to a second-level athlete and can be used to get extra points in the college entrance examination, which is even more incredible.
Find a class, pay for it, and sign up.
During this period of time, the number of students who used to be a small player in Go suddenly increased dramatically, which made the teachers who run Go training classes extremely happy. They wanted to worship Jiang Liuer as their ancestor and pay him three sticks of incense every morning and every night.
As popular as Go, there is also the theme song of the same name for "Go Boy" - "Go Boy".
Go boy
go through hardships
Taste all the suffering in the world
Make it through the night
………
Calendar, Calendar
Chess is deep and bottomless
Heart is big and boundless
Experience, experience
………
harmonious
The fortune of the country is prosperous, the fortune of chess is prosperous
The reincarnation of heaven and earth brings forth heroes
Harmony~
………
This word is so well written and inspiring, especially the last sentence, which is deafening and enlightening.
The song "Go Boy" became popular, even a little more popular than the TV series. Now it has become a popular BGM on Douyin, Slow Hand and other short video platforms.
When walking on the road, I often meet someone who likes to play videos, and I often hear high-spirited singing coming from the mobile phone.
Although you will probably get tired of hearing it after half a month or a month, but for now, it has indeed brought a lot of attention to the TV series "Go Boy".
After the finale aired, "Go" had an average ratings of 1.6. If it hadn't been for too few episodes, it might not have had a chance to surpass "The Story of a College Student".
