Chapter 128 Lunch of the Little Actor
As the Spring Festival approaches, the entertainment industry has become much quieter. The major events that attracted more attention in January were basically about relationships.
First, it was Jay Chou's wedding in an ancient castle in the UK, followed by Wu Qilong and Liu Shishi's announcement of their marriage license, and then Chen Chichi, who became popular again last year because of "Running Man", announced his divorce and new girlfriend.
However, for most people, these things are just for fun. Except for their respective fans, no one cares too much.
On the online drama side, although the popularity of "Soul Ferry" has affected several other platforms to some extent, none of them has come out to suppress or use tricks.
It's not that these platforms are very upright. It's just that on the one hand, the online drama market is still in the incremental stage, so there is no need to attack each other;
on the other hand, now is a critical stage for the online drama industry, and the excellent quality and popularity of "Soul Ferry" have greatly improved the status of the entire online drama industry. At this time, sabotage will only cause everyone to suffer.
So even though Leshi.com has been in the limelight recently, and even though Liu Jun is envied and hated by several other executives, the entire online drama industry is still relatively calm.
But being calm internally does not mean being calm externally. Under the surface, the fight between video platforms and traditional media is about to start.
Strictly speaking, the hatred between the two sides can be traced back to the dispute that triggered the "online drama censorship reform" last year, followed by the complaints and reports that gradually expanded at the beginning of this year.
At the beginning of this matter, Leshi.com and Guguang Film and Television were still the core. But as it began to expand, this fight gradually became a collision between the two industries for interests and discourse power, and no one cared about the target that caused the dispute at the beginning.
I thought this fight would continue until the "online drama censorship reform meeting" after the new year, but I didn't expect that at this juncture, Mango TV, which was at the forefront of the storm before, announced that the "Empress Wu" would be suspended for rectification.
According to the staff of the TV drama department of the TV station, they received a notice from above that all the shots involving exposure and vulgarity in this drama needed to be deleted.
This is really too hurtful. For TV stations, a popular TV series was suddenly removed from the shelves. Not to mention that it would disrupt the original broadcast plan, the more important thing is that the invisible popularity and audience lost during the removal period are difficult to recover.
After all, even the patience of the melon-eating crowd is limited. There are so many fun news every day. Who would wait for you to resume broadcasting a TV series that has been removed from the shelves?
I thought that the other party would continue to fight back after suffering a loss, but I didn’t expect that the "counterattack" didn’t wait, but waited for a big mountain. There
is still more than half a month before the Spring Festival. Major video platforms such as Penguin, Youku, and Leshi.com, as well as well-known online drama production teams such as Arclight Film and Television, have received notices from the General Administration.
The notice mainly talked about two things. One is that it was determined that in early March after the Chinese New Year, leaders of relevant departments, experts and representatives of industry companies would be invited to hold a seminar on the "online drama censorship system" to jointly determine what kind of censorship system will be adopted for online dramas in the future.
The second thing is that the "100-day Internet Qingfeng Action" will be launched after the Chinese New Year, focusing on cracking down on Internet marketing accounts, water army organizations and other objects that provoke public opinion disputes.
The subtext of this notice is very clear, which is to tell both sides of the fight to stop before the final conclusion comes out, stop doing those little tricks, and let everyone have a good new year.
It has to be said that the power of the official is still very strong. As soon as the notice came out, the two sides that were originally on the verge of a fight suddenly fell silent, and the entire industry entered a post-event cooling-off period.
Arclight Films, which had already left the center of the battlefield, now has nothing to do with itself.
Seeing that the broadcast of "Soul Ferry" was smooth, and the data and popularity grew steadily, Meng Bai was relieved and returned to the crew of "The Pretender".
"Congratulations, Teacher Meng.
" "Meng Bai, congratulations on the new drama."
"Teacher Meng Bai, congratulations."
Back on the crew, almost everyone who was familiar with Meng Bai congratulated him on the success of his new drama.
"I really didn't know that there were so many people in our crew who loved to watch online dramas." Meng Bai said in amazement.
"It's indeed not much, but we have a promoter in our crew." Li Xue on the side gestured to Song Zhi not far away, "Did you give the girl publicity fees? She has attracted a lot of people in the crew to follow your new drama during this period."
Meng Bai looked at Song Zhi in surprise. The girl was currently confirming her positioning with the photography teacher and did not notice that she was being stared at.
With a faint smile, he retracted his gaze, patted Li Xue's arm and said, "I can't help it. It's mainly because I wrote the plot brilliantly and it's attractive."
"Haha." Li Xue laughed dryly. He had seen the unclear scenes between Meng Bai and the girl with his own eyes.
However, he was too lazy to care about the love-hate entanglement between these young people. He just said, "Then I hope our drama will be so attractive by then."
"Don't worry, our performance will only be high, not low." Meng Bai looked confident and asked, "By the way, which scene has been filmed?"
"Episode 15, the part where Mingtai killed the insider and met Wang Manchun by chance." Li Xue said.
Meng Bai nodded. This was a relatively early episode.
Before this plot, Mingtai assassinated the traitor Wang Fuqiu, but his figure was remembered by an officer. In order to kill him, he asked "Yu Manli" to use the beauty trap to hook up with the officer, and then kill him to get the information. Mingtai, who was taking a walk outside, was met by Wang Manchun by chance. Fortunately, Manli came back in time to rescue him.
This scene is the only time that the two "dangerous beauties" Yu Manli and Wang Manchun meet each other alive, and it is also the only scene where Wang Ou and Song Zhi play against each other.
However, when it comes to this scene, Meng Bai looked around and asked Li Xue, "Who, that girl named Wang Yuejun hasn't joined the crew yet?"
Wang Yuejun is the actor who plays Cheng Jinyun, the "official partner" of the male protagonist Mingtai in the play, and is also recommended by the crew's investors.
"She hasn't come yet, and she said she will come in a few days." Li Xue sighed, "The investors said that her scenes with other actors are not many, so we can just focus on shooting them when the time comes."
"Oh, they think it's quite comfortable." Meng Bai sighed.
There's nothing he can do, because he is the investor's person.
...
Because it is mainly interior scenes, and there are not many locations to switch, this scene went very quickly and was finished before noon.
"It's time to eat, it's time to eat, everyone go and get the food." The crew's stagehand greeted everyone to hurry up.
"Teacher Song, your meal is here for you."
A stagehand put a box lunch on the table.
"Thank you, sorry for the trouble." Song Zhi hurriedly replied politely.
Although she is not a big star, she is still a leading actress, and with the care of "certain people", she does not have to queue up with other staff members.
She opened the lunch box, and as usual, there were still two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, which was considered to be above average in the crew's meal arrangement.
Not all actors in the crew eat the boxed lunches. Some big-name leading actors have special requirements for diet or taste, and often place special orders, and some even bring their own chefs.
This is also why many celebrity studios prefer applicants who can cook and understand nutritional matching when recruiting assistants.
But for Song Zhi, who is still a little unknown, the boxed lunches of the crew are already very good.
