Although Jing Ye always yelled at Jiang Meng to change the script, he was just venting his frustration and expressing his dissatisfaction, and never really interfered with the filming on the scene.
The crew of "Who Murdered Me" has sufficient funds, and the filming progress is proceeding in an orderly manner according to plan.
After the filming was more than half completed, I heard news about Tong Wenping again. This time, their drama was scheduled to be released.
Their drama was quietly finished at some point, and they worked overtime to complete the post-production and also contacted the advertising.
He even took advantage of the Spring Festival to schedule a release date and began his promotion and marketing.
It was also at this time that everyone finally knew what those investors and Tong Wenping had come up with.
Their play is called "Survival Record of Class 3-1". The story takes place during a regular physical education test class of Class 3-1. Because it was raining outside, the class was moved to an indoor basketball hall.
However, the heroine unexpectedly discovered that someone wanted to create an accident and kill their classmates.
Their heroine, like Lu An, keeps experiencing the death of her classmates. When she tries to tell them that there is danger, the entire basketball hall will collapse and she will die.
Their heroine is an excellent student with a strong sense of justice and is popular among teachers and classmates.
The heroine, who has all the good qualities, certainly couldn't bear to see her classmates die, so from the very first moment, she decided to stop her classmates from dying and ensure that all the classmates could leave the basketball hall safely.
The actress who plays the leading role is none other than Zhou Mengyang.
The male lead was also the one recommended by the previous investor.
Their group can be said to be the same cast, which was moved over and used directly.
The actor who plays the male lead in their drama is only 26 years old. He plays the role of a fledgling physical education teacher, but he has to call Zhou Mengyang, who is a generation older than him, a classmate.
Anyway, when they saw their promotional video, many people felt more or less uncomfortable.
Ming Fu also saw a familiar person in the promotional trailer, and that person was Du Yibai.
She hadn't seen Du Yibai for a long time. Ever since he lost face on the show last time, Du Yibai had never come to school again.
Back then, Du Yibai was a well-known figure in No. 1 Middle School, and everyone knew him.
No matter how glorious she was before, she felt so ashamed now. She couldn't hold her head up in front of her classmates, so naturally she didn't want to come to school anymore.
Maybe it was also partly because of Ming Fu that Du Yibai didn't want to meet her again.
Du Yibai asked her uncle to help her sign a sick leave so that she could retain her student status, but she did not show up at school for a whole semester. Her family also moved away quietly and their whereabouts are unknown.
Even Du Yibai's former best friend Tu Meng doesn't know what Du Yibai is doing now. There are many different opinions about Du Yibai's whereabouts in No. 1 Middle School.
Now it seems that Du Yibai is doing quite well. Not only has she become prettier, but she has also obtained resources, although she is just an insignificant supporting role.
The release date is clearly written at the end of the promotional video: March 28th of this year.
It's almost February now, and "Who Murdered Me" has not been completed yet. No matter how fast it is made, it will have to wait until the summer vacation.
For a moment, the crew members were a little frustrated, a kind of frustration that even though they had tried their best to run, they still couldn't outrun their despicable opponents.
The director said: "The stories are not exactly similar, but the background is similar. The reboot and the flashback are similar. Their drama aired first, so when ours comes out, it's inevitable that we'll compare them."
Most audiences don’t care who came up with the story first. As long as it doesn’t constitute plagiarism, whoever can gain first recognition will have a greater advantage.
I have to say that those investors are very good at making trouble.
Director: "This is capital, capital that will do anything to achieve its goals."
Ming Fu: "Director, please don't always boost others' ambitions. We are not afraid of being compared."
It's not that she feels good about herself, but after watching the other party's promotional video, she really thinks theirs is better.
Director: "What nonsense! I am also very ambitious and I am not afraid of being compared. It's just that I feel uncomfortable seeing them."
Xu Weixing: "Excellent works are always easy to be spotted and imitated."
The director smiled and said, "You are quite open-minded and good at comforting people."
Xu Weixing shook his head: "I'm not trying to comfort anyone. Once their drama comes out, it will be clear to what extent they imitated it and whether they crossed the line."
The director immediately guessed his idea and subconsciously looked at Jiang Meng.
Jiang Meng didn't say anything, staring at the message on her phone. When she leaned over to take a look, she found that it was a piece of rubbish essay sent by Tong Wenping.
Tong Wenping is a man of extremely low moral character and no tolerance. As soon as he showed signs of turning things around, he couldn't help but show off to his ex-wife. He has been able to wait until now to show off, which shows that he has great patience.
The content of the text message was irrelevant. It just told Jiang Meng how well he was doing now. He had turned his life around, had a car and a house, and would be able to resume his previous life soon.
By the way, he also told Jiang Meng that he could still write the script even without Jiang Meng.
The summary of his lengthy speech was that Jiang Meng's suppression of him was no more than this.
"Don't you think he's ridiculous? He actually came to me to show off his achievements and boast about the story he created all by himself. Has he ever considered that his script was based on my story outline?"
When Jiang Meng saw Tong Wenping's provocative essay, instead of getting angry, she found it funny.
Xu Weixing took another look at the promotional poster and immediately found something interesting.
He raised an eyebrow: "Now he doesn't even dare to sign his real name."
The word "Liwen" is written in the scriptwriting section.
Jiang Meng sneered: "This is the pen name I used in college. Not many people know it."
Director: "It seems he is aware that he has a bad reputation and no one is buying into his fame."
Ming Fu held his cheek and blinked, "We can't let the audience be kept in the dark and deceived forever."
Xu Weixing: "Of course not."
Jiang Meng smiled knowingly: "Yes, not only can't, but we have to settle the accounts together."
Tong Wenping changed his pen name because his investors asked him to do so. He is arrogant and shameless, and he is very confident in his own abilities. He believes that the audience will still buy into his works.
The main reason why he had such a bad time before was because some people on the Internet were leading the rhythm and belittling him to nothing, and some partners took advantage of his misfortune and wanted to cut off ties with him and announced that they would no longer cooperate with him.
He was involved in several lawsuits at the same time and it was difficult for him to take care of all the parties at once, which allowed the other party to take advantage of him and left him with nothing.
Fortunately, he endured the humiliation and got through that painful time.
Now an investor has recognized his talent and given him another chance.
Things are different now. As long as he is given a chance, he can stand up again.
He was confident in the script he wrote, and this time he was determined to regain his position.
Unfortunately, several investors don’t think so.
In the eyes of these capitalists, Tong Wenping is still the loser who plagiarized his wife, beat her, ruined his reputation, and lost everything.
They never looked down on Tong Wenping for a moment and only regarded him as a tool to make money.
Because Tong Wenping was just a tool, the investors did not allow him to use his own name.
They also want to attract investment and get a good price. If people know that the screenwriter is Tong Wenping and it affects the price of each episode, they will suffer a huge loss.
Tong Wenping also has his own little plan. Judging from the response caused by the promotional trailer, the show will definitely be good when it airs.
After the show was finished and the money arrived, he took advantage of the show's popularity and found a way to reveal his identity.
By then, all those who had been pessimistic about him will be shocked and slapped in the face.
He even wanted to crush Jiang Meng in terms of data and let her know who was more powerful.
On March 28th, "Class 3-1" began broadcasting as scheduled.
However, at this time, there were still a few shots left in "Who Murdered Me" because Mingfu had to go to school, so the crew had to stop filming.
However, post-production editing has already begun and the first ten episodes have been edited, so it will not affect the original broadcast time.
Before "Class 3, Grade 1" was officially broadcast, some viewers questioned whether Zhou Mengyang was suitable for playing a high school student.
When the first episode of the feature film was broadcast, netizens couldn't help but want to complain.
Even with the filter, you can see the fine lines at the corners of Zhou Mengyang's eyes. It's okay when he doesn't smile, but the fine lines become more obvious when he smiles.
Soon, the entry with #周孟阳female high school student# became a hot search.
[Help! Is Zhou Mengyang planning to play a young girl forever? Honestly, at her age, she could be the mother of a high school student.]
If she plays in some ancient idol drama, I can barely watch it, but I really can't watch high school girls. Someone please save my eyes.
She really stood out among a group of high school students.
You're all complaining about Zhou Mengyang, but is there no one else who wants to complain about their uniforms? I understand wearing British-style uniforms for looks, but aren't they in PE class? Why are they wearing short skirts and taking PE tests? Doesn't anyone find it inconvenient?
"Why are you all discussing boring things? Can you please focus on the plot itself? It's really super exciting, okay?"
Because TV dramas of this type are rare, it successfully attracted a lot of viewers, and the number of views that night exceeded one million.
Starting from the next day, with running water, the number of views quickly exceeded 10 million.
Advertisers from all walks of life heard the news and rushed to bid in order to obtain the exclusive naming rights.
The TV series of 30 episodes has only been aired for the sixth episode, and investors have already started calculating how much money they can profit from it.
After calculating the profits, some people are still not satisfied.
"It's only 30 episodes, and it doesn't make much money. It's still those shows with more than 80 episodes that make money."
The exclusive broadcasting rights of a drama are sold by the number of episodes. The more episodes there are, the more money you can make. The same goes for advertising.
"Then just cut out a few more episodes. It's no big deal."
"Ask the post-production team if they have any extra footage. If they do, we'll edit it out and make it a total of 40 episodes."
"Let that guy take care of it. He knows his drama best."
Who doesn’t want to make more money? Tong Wenping also wanted to. After renegotiating the price with the investors, he added to and revised the script and went to the post-production studio.
Originally, the director was in charge of the post-production, but when he heard that the investors wanted to increase the number of episodes, he firmly disagreed.
The main plot of "Class 1, Grade 3" is a simple story. I don't know whether it is Tong Wenping's writing habit or he wanted to make up the number of episodes, but the second half of the story inexplicably added some trivial family conflicts.
The second half of the story is inconsistent with the tense atmosphere of the early part, making the next dozen or so episodes seem very long and boring.
During the post-production editing, the director almost pulled his hair out and finally managed to speed up the pace.
Now, the investors are even willing to destroy the entire drama for a little profit.
The director called the investors to protest and explained the interests involved to them, but the investors refused to listen and eventually deprived him of the right to post-production editing.
The director was so angry that he just threw his hands and quit.
So the post-production studio became Tong Wenping's world.
He had always been annoyed with the director's meddling in his script, and he even changed it at the last minute, leaving Tong Wenping with no place to vent his anger.
Now that there are no more annoying people, he can finally edit the film according to his own ideas and at will.
"Class 3-1" aired its first ten episodes in one go, and its reputation kept rising. Everyone in the production crew was in high spirits.
Du Yibai also took advantage of it.
She doesn't have many scenes in the drama, with no more than ten shots in one episode, but her strength lies in her youthful and bright appearance. Standing next to Zhou Mengyang, she looks particularly young and eye-catching.
She must have put in a lot of effort in acting.
I’m not saying it’s outstanding, but it’s qualified and won’t make people feel out of place.
Since the first episode, there have been Du Yibai fans on the Internet. They express their love for Du Yibai and post beautiful pictures of Du Yibai online every day.
Du Yibai’s social media account also soared to 4 million followers within a week.
No one mentioned Du Yibai's previous variety show recording.
It may also be that netizens did not recognize her, because Mingfu also had to admit that Du Yibai had changed so much in half a year.
During the period when the drama was popular, Du Yibai returned to No. 1 Middle School once, and Ming Fu almost didn't recognize her at that time.
Her face became smaller, her nose became straighter, and her chin became sharper.
Even more exaggerated than what you see on TV.
And her temperament is more arrogant and disrespectful than before.
Now Du Yibai is like a big star, carrying a brand-name bag and wearing a pair of big sunglasses wherever she goes, for fear of being recognized.
But she acted so high-profile, afraid that no one would recognize her.
Du Yibai has become very popular recently. Whether it is in No. 1 Middle School or in the town, everyone knows that Du Yibai is a big star.
Unlike when they left as a family, they came back in a very high-profile manner, visiting people everywhere with a swagger, and happily telling their neighbors that they would settle down in the capital in the future.
It was Du Yibai who told Ming Fu the news of settling in the capital.
She stopped Mingfu at the stairs and prevented her from going down.
As if to vent his anger, he told Ming Fu all the good news he had encountered.
"You probably didn't expect that forcing me to go to the capital would actually lead to a better situation for me. Do you regret it now? Do you regret that you shouldn't have been so ruthless?"
Ming Fu stood on the steps, two heads taller than Du Yibai. She looked down at Du Yibai condescendingly: "Do you really think you've got a good opportunity?"
Didn’t Du Yibai ever think that he was courting disaster?
The more successful you are now, the harder you will fall when the ugly truth is revealed.
Du Yibai couldn't stand Ming Fu's current expression the most. He looked like he was confident of victory and looked down on the world.
What is she so proud of?
It was just that her father and brother were so good, so what was the big deal? Was she going to rely on her father and brother for the rest of her life? Did she have any achievements to show for herself?
Mingfu has nothing to show for herself except her father and brother.
She has no career and is still spending her parents' money. She has no grades and the whole internet knows that she is looking for a tutor.
On the other hand, Du Yibai himself has been able to settle down in the capital with his parents based on his own abilities.
After figuring out the relationship, Du Yibai looked at Ming Fu again and thought she was ridiculous, as if he was looking at a clown.
She couldn't wait to show off her plan to Mingfu.
"I've settled down in the capital and am planning to buy a house. I came back this time to take the college entrance exam. After all, my hometown is here, so I had no choice but to come back to take it."
"I'm planning to apply to a university in the capital. I've already passed the interview and am just waiting for the college entrance exam results. You should also work hard and try to get into a university as well. Don't embarrass your professor father."
She didn't even mention getting into a good school, because in her opinion, with her mediocre grades, she couldn't get into any good school.
Ming Fu listened to her plan and ridicule, but was not angry at all. Instead, he replied calmly, "What do I have to be ashamed of? Everyone knows that I haven't been to school seriously for a few days. On the other hand, you, an excellent student since childhood, are you not worthy of your teacher if you don't get a score of 680 or above?"
Du Yibai's expression could no longer hold back, and finally a crack appeared on his face.
In their small city, let alone being the top student in the grade at No. 1 Middle School, even the top student in the city’s overall ranking can’t score 680.
Du Yibai: "Why do you care how much I scored? It's definitely more than yours."
Ming Fu said perfunctorily: "Wow, your results are really exciting."
Du Yibai is a very busy man now and doesn't have much time to waste on insignificant people like Mingfu.
She's already received a call.
She was full of anger and glared at Ming Fu before leaving.
After walking away, I could still hear Ming Fu saying behind me: "I wish you good luck in your work, a bright future, and satisfactory results in the college entrance examination. You must surpass me."
Du Yibai always felt awkward when he heard her wishes. He accidentally sprained his ankle and lost face in front of the people from No. 1 Middle School.
She could only quicken her pace and leave No. 1 Middle School as soon as possible.
…
"I saw Du Yibai today, my classmate. She came back to school and proudly told me she was about to buy a house in the capital. How could she get paid that much for a minor supporting role?"
After returning home that day, Mingfu couldn't help but complain to Xu Weixing.
Because of the filming, she has been in contact with Xu Weixing the most recently, and they will even act together online when they are free.
She told most of the trivial matters directly to Xu Weixing. After all, he never found her annoying and was much more patient than Jing Ye.
"Are you envious of her for having a house in the capital?" Xu Weixing asked.
Ming Fu curled his lips: "It's not that I'm envious, I just hate the way she looks. It's like she's mocking me. When will you be able to afford a house in the capital?"
"But what she said was true. I can't afford a house in the capital right now."
She had just finished speaking.
"I own several unused houses in the capital. If you don't mind, I can transfer them to you."
"We have a house in the capital, and Dad even bought a small villa just for you."
The voice behind me and the voice on the phone sounded at the same time.
Mingfu turned around and found that it was her father who came back.
After Ming Bojun finished speaking, he stood at the entrance in a daze.
What did he just hear?
Someone wanted to give his daughter a house in the capital, and it was a man.
