Chapter 238 Can't we choose a place where no one is around?
"Cheers!"
A chaotic sound of wine glasses clinking rang out, and the atmosphere of the banquet suddenly became lively.
Today is the last "closing dinner" of the first season of "Star Detective". After the recording was completed, Meng Bai, He Chen and the regular members of "Ming Detective" got together for a party.
From the beginning of the show at the end of February to now, there have been a total of 13 episodes of "pilot episode + feature film", with a total playback volume of over 1 billion, and a Douban score of 9.2.
This result has greatly exceeded Youku's "Mars Intelligence Agency" and He Jiong's cooperation with Tencent Video's "Please Take Care of the Refrigerator", ranking first in the same period.
"Thanks to Mr. Meng's wonderful script, we can get such a high evaluation."
As a professional host, He Jiong habitually turned on the "control + praise" mode.
But this is not a forced praise.
In a variety show, the audience sees the wonderful performances of the members and guests, but only the people themselves know that the main creative team is the foundation of the success of the show.
As a "reasoning variety show" with extremely high requirements for logic and storytelling, it has received such high praise from the audience after a whole season, mainly relying on a solid script.
Therefore, after hearing what He Jiong said, Sa Bening, Zhang Ruoyun and others applauded.
Li Yitong sat next to Meng Bai, her cheeks flushed with excitement.
She likes to hear others praise Meng Bai.
"The script is just the basis, it mainly depends on everyone's performance and the post-production of the program team." Meng Bai waved his hand modestly, "It's a pity that after a whole season, no episode has been more popular."
"For a new program in the first season, it is already very good to have such results." He Chen on the side smiled and said: "The advertising department contacted me a few days ago and said that a brand has contacted me for the title sponsorship of the next season."
"Which one?"
"It seems to be OPPO." He Chen recalled.
Sabining, who was sitting on the other side, said, "So, we will use mobile phones to take photos of evidence in the next season?"
"If the investment can be negotiated, we should."
"Okay!"
Liu Haoran said happily, "Finally, we can stop using this Polaroid camera. It's too difficult to use!"
The others nodded in agreement. Polaroid
cameras rely on manual focus, no dimming, no anti-shake. Using it to take photos of evidence is really silent.
The ability to attract investment proves the commercial value of the program.
As for things like going viral, Meng Bai thought about it and decided that it still depends on the script and story setting.
He already has some ideas, such as horror books, which can be tried in the second season.
Tonight's party was both a celebration and a farewell. Except for the younger Liu Haoran, everyone else was drunk.
Compared to the others, Li Yitong was a little quiet tonight. She didn't say much and sat there with a smile.
Until she saw Meng Bai get up to go to the bathroom, she suppressed it for a while and walked out of the private room for the same reason.
"Wow!"
Meng Bai was washing his hands beside the sink outside the bathroom, when he suddenly heard a cute roar from behind him.
After washing his hands leisurely, he turned around and raised his hand to flick it, and a puff of water mist splashed on the person who stretched out his hand.
"Ouch!"
Li Yitong hurriedly raised her arm to block it, and then slapped Meng Bai with her mouth pursed: "Hate it! Why aren't you scared?"
"Girl, next time before you scare people, check if there is a mirror in advance."
The two stood opposite each other, and Li Yitong looked at Meng Bai with burning eyes.
It can be seen that she really wants to hug him directly after not seeing each other for a while.
Unfortunately, considering that it is a public place, although there is no one at the moment, she still has to be careful.
"How do you feel after recording a season?"
"Not bad, this show is quite fun." Li Yitong said with a proud look on her face, "And I feel I am quite smart, many viewers praised me in the comments."
"Really? I remember that when the camera appeared in the first few episodes, most of the comments were asking 'Who is this?'"
Li Yitong's face was embarrassed, and she said shyly, "That was at the beginning, and everyone got to know me later!"
To be honest, among the members and guests of "Star Detective", this girl is the least popular one, even Liu Haoran's traffic is higher than hers.
Fortunately, this girl has a sweet face that makes people feel good, plus her personality is not bad, and her personality happens to complement another female member Wang Ou, so she is slowly accepted by the audience.
But then again, Boss Li does not have many works at present.
The first one is "Psychological Crime", although she is the heroine, she is not very popular.
Later, she guest-starred as "senior Luo Zhi" in "The Best of Us". This role is very eye-catching, but because there is not much plot, it can only be regarded as a small splash.
In addition, she was in school for most of last year, and several dramas such as "Painting Rivers and Lakes" filmed after graduation have not been broadcast yet, so it is normal that there is no popularity.
Fortunately, Li Yitong's mentality is very peaceful. She is half interested in being an actor and half a career, so she is not in a hurry.
What's more, she knows that with "Teacher Meng" there, if there is a role or resource that suits her, he will definitely not forget her.
As she thought, Meng Bai really has a project that is very suitable for her now.
"Is it the new drama of Arc Light?" Li Yitong asked, "Lu Teng's next project?"
"It's not Arc Light." Meng Bai shook his head, "And you've already appeared in "Psychological Crime", and there's no way to use other characters in this series."
"Tsk, if I had known earlier, I shouldn't have accepted 'Chen Xi'."
Li Yitong muttered, and then asked curiously, "Which drama is suitable for me?" "
Have you seen "The Legend of the Condor Heroes?"
"Does it count if I watched the TV series when I was a child?"
"It's enough to know." Meng Bai explained, "We are recently discussing cooperation with Huace Film and Television, and they are planning to remake "The Legend of the Condor Heroes."
"Again a remake?" Li Yitong said in surprise.
I remember that the latest version seemed to have been filmed in 2008. It's only been six or seven years, and it's going to be remade again.
Meng Bai actually had a similar idea. These people in the film and television industry don't even mention filming Gu Long, Huang Yi, etc. Why do they always pick on Mr. Jin every day?
"Don't worry about why they want to remake it. This time the project is directed by Guo Jingyu's team, and all the main roles are played by newcomers. We just happened to be discussing cooperation recently, so I recommended you." "
Then which role am I? Hua Zheng, Mu Nianci, or..."
"If your boss Li wants to play it, then it must be the female lead."
Li Yitong's eyes lit up and she said in surprise: "Huang Rong? Really?"
Seeing Meng Bai nod affirmatively, she immediately showed an excited and happy look, and regardless of the fact that she was still outside, she hugged Meng Bai and kissed him.
There may still be debate about the popularity ranking of the male protagonists in the fourteen Jin Yong novels. But there is no doubt that Huang Rong deserves the first place in the female protagonist.
In various discussions involving Jin Yong's martial arts, "Which version of Huang Rong is better" is a long-lasting hot topic.
Although the current status of Jin Yong's dramas is not as good as before, it is still a top resource for newcomers.
What's more, it is a "top-level" role like Huang Rong.
Li Yitong naturally understood this, so she was particularly grateful and excited to Meng Bai.
If it weren't for the fact that they were still outside, she would have already pounced on Meng Bai.
But even so, her crescent-shaped smiling eyes were full of tenderness, and the heat seemed to melt Meng Bai.
"Don't get too excited yet. The crew will definitely have to see if it's suitable. In addition, because this time we mainly use newcomers, the pay shouldn't be very high."
"It doesn't matter!" Li Yitong hurriedly said, "It's okay if it's lower."
"That's not the case."
Meng Bai coughed lightly, looked at her with ambiguous eyes and said, "Such a good resource, shouldn't some people express their gratitude?"
Li Yitong naturally understood what he meant, and secretly said in her heart, "The dead man is obviously the one who takes the initiative every time. "
However, she still stretched out her hand to hug Meng Bai's arm, with a "pitiful" expression on her face and said, "I understand, Teacher Meng, then tonight..."
Before she finished her words, she suddenly heard footsteps.
Before she had time to let go, a woman appeared in front of the two.
It was Wang Ou.
"..."
"..."
"..."
The six eyes met, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
Wang Ou didn't expect to run into the two of them. After taking a look at them, Meng Bai looked like the "evil investor" who was taking advantage of the newcomer, and Li Yitong was the new actor who "dared to be angry but not to speak out."
Of course, she knew the relationship between the two, and couldn't help but complain in her heart -
can't you pick a place where there's no one when you do these weird plays!
