Chapter 79 Fire out of the circle and the king of eating
Zuo Le was about to cry after being cheated, but "The Story of the Cooking Class" was in full swing.
Halfway through the series, the ratings of the series jumped from 1.2 to 1.6, dominating the entire May schedule and setting off a real "military craze".
It has laid a very bright foundation for the upcoming 70th anniversary of Army Day.
In mid-May, a columnist from the national authoritative media "People's Daily" published an article.
[How to shoot a good military drama that reflects the real life of the troops by starting from the grassroots cooking class]
As soon as this article was published, it was regarded as the official characterization of "The Story of the Cooking Class", and media such as "Military Daily", "Voice of the Air Force", and "Dawn News" followed suit.
In the end, even CCTV had to send a news column team to Kongwen to interview the actors, and the military sub-channel even focused on promoting "The Story of the Cooking Class".
Guo Xin, the leader of Kongwen Group, has been feeling very proud of himself recently.
Participating in the investment, Kong Wen received a lot of dividends in "The Story of the Cooking Class", not to mention that the actors in the group who participated in the show also became popular.
Especially the five leading actors in the cooking class are absolutely popular.
Two days ago, Tianwen organized actors to participate in a condolence performance at a certain base. Mao Xiao and Jiang Chao led the team. As soon as the two appeared, they immediately caused a sensation among the officers and soldiers watching the performance.
No specific performance was required. Xiao Mao introduced himself with the Henan accent in Mao Primary School's play. Jiang Chao said the classic line of Xiao Jiang in the play, "I squeeze it and call it Xiao Jiang." The cheers from the scene resounded through the sky.
After this incident spread, Kong Wen was collectively envied, jealous, and hated by all major military art troupes, especially Lu Wen.
Captain Lu Wen almost regretted it to death!
He also invited Zuo Le at the beginning, but unfortunately he made a mistake and was accidentally overtaken by Kong Wen. Otherwise, the "Story of the Cooking Class" that is now popular across the country would have been produced by Lu Wen.
…………
"Story of the Cooking Class" became a huge hit, not only Kong Wen and other actors were popular, but the director and screenwriter Zuo Le also became famous.
In fact, Zuo Le had already become famous as early as the Traffic Station Duology.
But because his main job is behind the scenes, and the role he plays as Mr. Liu is a minor supporting role, Zuo Le's reputation is not bad, but it is mostly spread among the industry and fans of Traffic Station II.
Later, because he won two Golden Phoenix Awards for two of the top ten TV dramas, Zuo Le became popular again, but at that time, with the TV Queen and Captain Jia standing in front of him, the general audience's attention to him was always limited.
Many people may have heard of Zuo Le's name and know that he is a good director, but they still know very little about what he looks like and what his work resume is.
Until this time, because "Story of the Cooking Class" became a big hit again, the media gave Zuo Le an inspirational character of "counterattack and slap in the face", and tied it to CCTV to hype it up.
Coupled with the rich accumulation of the previous Traffic Station Duology and the Golden Phoenix Award.
Director Zuo is finally out of the spotlight!
The ratings of the three works under his name all exceeded 1, with Douhua rating of one being 9 points and two being 8 points, both of which are above the quality level.
Taking the field of sitcoms alone, not counting those big names who have now retired, Zuo Le is now the well-deserved No. 1 among sitcom directors.
Even among the entire group of TV drama directors, he barely ranks among the bosses, and he is the youngest one.
The number of fans of Zuo Le Scarf has skyrocketed and is about to reach one million.
Although it can't be compared with those young freshmen who often have tens of millions of fans, it's not even one-tenth of that of my girlfriend Tian Yan.
But Zuo Le didn’t refresh the data.
Not all of these fans are live fans, but at least 60-70% are real people.
For a director, this is already very difficult. When he goes out in the future, Zuo Le will have the confidence to call himself a popular director.
At the same time, Zuo Le was nicknamed the King of Rice after Dongshan's son.
This nickname was given to him by BiZhan netizens because the plots of "Traffic Station Part Two" and "The Story of the Cooking Class" are light and friendly. Many BiZhan netizens like to watch these dramas while eating, which they find very appetizing.
.
At the Coin Station, the Traffic Station Duology and "The Story of the Cooking Class" are also known as rice dramas.
Therefore, Zuo Le, as the director and screenwriter of these Xiafan dramas, was affectionately called the King of Xiafan by netizens on the currency website.
Although it sounds a bit like a certain chili sauce, Zuo Le still likes this nickname.
For this reason, he also deliberately changed the ld of his currency website account to [Xiafantianwang-Zuo Le], which attracted countless likes from currency website netizens.
…………
On May 23, the finale of "The Story of the Cooking Class" aired. The average ratings of the entire drama remained stable at 1.86, surpassing last year's "Underground Traffic Station".
It's a pity that Douhua's score is still at 8.8. The reason why it didn't break 9 is mainly because the play has a lot of preaching elements with the main theme. Even if Zuo Le tried his best to make these scenes as natural as possible, he still couldn't beat the silence.
But despite this, the results and reputation of "The Story of the Cooking Class" are also extremely dazzling.
Many people have said that "Story of the Cooking Class" will definitely be one of the top ten events at the end of this year's Golden Phoenix Awards, and Zuo Le may even hope to win for Best Director.
On May 25, a celebration party was held inside Dongshantai. Zuo Le and Tian Yan attended the event together, attracting countless people's attention.
In recent months, Zuo Le has visited the "Happy Dream Show" column team many times, and Tian Yan often gets together with Ni Ni Wai Wai.
However, for the sake of Tian Yan's career, the two never admitted their relationship. Once asked, they were good friends.
But other people are not fools. They can’t tell if they are good friends or boyfriends?
Gradually, the relationship between the two became a semi-open secret in Dongshan Terrace, and everyone understood each other tacitly. The little girl who usually liked to hang out with Zuo Le became less and less popular, and Tian Yan's former suitors in Taiwan gradually became silent.
.
Lao Fang arrived early today, and when he saw Zuo Letian Yan coming with him, he couldn't help joking: "Is this something we can't avoid anymore and want to make it public?"
Zuo Le smiled faintly: "No, I haven't been angry these days. Teacher Tian is worried, so I came here to have a look."
"Who doesn't worry about you?"
Tian Yan Qiao rolled her eyes at Zuo Le, and then greeted Lao Fang sweetly: "Fangtai."
"No, no, no, no, I'm just acting as deputy director temporarily, and I haven't been officially appointed yet."
Lao Fang waved his hands modestly, but the smile on his face couldn't stop.
In the past year and a half, Dongshan TV has achieved very impressive results. It is now ranked in the first echelon of second-tier TV stations and is expected to reach the first-tier TV station.
Provincial leaders are very satisfied with these achievements of Dongshantai, and Fang Weimin, as one of the main contributors behind these achievements, was naturally promoted and reused.
At the end of last month, Wu Mao, the former deputy director of the station, was transferred from Dongshan Station, leaving a deputy director position vacant.
Later, upon the joint recommendation of Taiwan Director Chen Changshan and Deputy Director Mo Dashan, the province decided to let Lao Fang take over as deputy director. On the 20th of this month, a meeting was held in Taili and it was announced that Lao Fang would temporarily act as deputy director. Two months later, his performance
Excellent, I will be officially appointed again.
Also promoted along with Lao Fang was Fatty Chen.
As the producer of Traffic Station Duology and "Story of the Cooking Class", he can be regarded as a hero in the station. This time, Lao Fang was promoted to deputy station director. The post of director of the production center was taken over by the deputy director. Fatty Chen was promoted to deputy director as he wished.
director.
Good brothers, old leaders came to power one after another, plus Chen Changshan and Mo Dashan, who had a very good relationship with him in the first place.
Zuo Le's influence in Dongshan Taiwan is now greater than before, and the cooperation between the two parties has become more and more stable, and even his girlfriend Tian Yan has also benefited a lot.
With the support of these big guys in Taiwan, I have almost secured my position as Dongshan’s first sister in the future...
