Chapter 210 Trailer
At this time, Su Yun was sitting on the sofa in the lobby on the first floor, recalling the first rookie singing competition that the Mei sisters participated in during the summer vacation.
The champion of this competition is undoubtedly her favorite Mei Yanshuang, a legend who can still sing a mellow mezzo-soprano even though she accidentally lost her voice. During the final performance, her stage presence no longer seemed like that of a rookie, but rather like a veteran who has been immersed in this field for many years and is performing on this stage...
There will probably never be a rookie selection contest where a large number of spectators shout for an encore, not to mention in the past, and probably in the future.
Unfortunately, this time the finals were limited to the top 15, while Mei Aishuang, the eldest sister of the Mei family, only made it into the top 30. She was quite optimistic, and after confirming that she would not be able to make the finals, she and Grandma Su wholeheartedly became Mei Yanshuang's supporters, specifically responsible for helping her solve various problems outside the arena.
Mei Yanshuang also asked her sister for her opinion. After confirming that her usually gentle sister really did not take the defeat in the semi-finals to heart, she accepted the care with peace of mind and tried her best to compete with 14 other equally strong players in the finals.
It is called a rookie singing competition, but because it is the first session, the rules are not strict. As long as the contestants have not signed a contract with a record company and released records, their performances on TV stations, karaoke bars, nightclubs, etc. will not be counted in their resumes.
Therefore, this year's contestants are truly strong: not to mention that there are many familiar names of Hong Kong music singers in the finals; among those names that did not make it to the finals, many of them look and sound familiar to Su Yun, and it is estimated that many of them will release records in the future and will be successfully selected into the classic Cantonese song anthology.
For example, Wei Yishan, who was defeated by Mei Yanshuang and finished second, sang the song "Why Do We Need to Know Each Other Before We Meet", which is also a classic Cantonese golden song sung by a man and a woman.
However, apart from her loss in typhoon, the flaws of her background as a nightclub singer were also very obvious: nightclub singers usually have to sing for a long time, so in order to save energy they would use long notes to drag out some parts. This opportunistic method saves energy and is not prone to mistakes, so it is a basic habit of many nightclub singers.
On the contrary, in addition to performing on stage everywhere in recent years, Mei Yanshuang also signed a contract with "Happy Tonight", and had to go on stage to record programs from time to time. Her opportunistic and labor-saving method was gradually corrected - and she liked singing in the first place, and even regarded singing as her life. She sang very attentively every day, and rarely did such opportunistic practices in secret.
For this reason, among the ten judges of this competition, not only Huang Zhan praised him highly, saying that "his stage presence and pronunciation were amazing", giving him the only full score in his life; even the always picky Gu Jiahui simply deducted one point on the grounds that "there is no perfect score in art".
The top three winners of the New Talent Singing Contest will sign a contract with TBB and then join TBB's subsidiary Huasheng Records, which will produce records based on their personal style and popularity.
Of course, because Mei Yanshuang has been spotted by Su Yun to be the heroine of a new drama, her album's title song does not need to worry the people at Huasheng Records. Instead, as long as Su Yun coordinates her filming and song recording schedules, she will take advantage of the momentum of singing the theme song of the new drama "Armored Sister" to officially release an album.
"So what's the progress now?" Mei Yanshuang asked while reciting the script.
"Well, we have the twin male and female roles, and we have no shortage of ordinary adult supporting roles, but we are missing a child actor to play the son of the other heroine." Su Yun was a little worried, "I have interviewed a lot these days, but none of them can give me the lively and lively feeling I need..."
"Isn't this sent to you?" As Su Yun said this, Zhang Querong, who was brought in by the Filipino maid Jennifer, laughed.
"What are you doing..." Su Yun's eyes fell on the little boy who was being held by Chen Boyang.
"Come, tell this pretty girl what your name is, how old you are, and do you want to be on TV?" Chen Boyang half-knelt down and gently called the little boy to go over to Su Yun.
So the little boy ran over excitedly: "Hello, my name is Zhang Zhilin, my English name is Julian, and I really want to be on TV!"
After hearing the name and taking a closer look at the dimples on the cheeks of the little boy named Zhang Zhilin, Su Yun did not know whether to laugh or cry: compared to Chen and Zhang, who were considered the medieval era of the Hong Kong circle, Zhang Zhilin, a male artist who was closer to the new era, was more familiar to her generation.
After almost solving the actors' problems, Su Yun hurried to the police station.
In Hong Kong, TV dramas about police issues usually seek cooperation with the Public Relations Department. After Su Yun arrived at the police station and said she was looking for Chan Fung-shih, the police officer in charge of reception registered her and asked her to sit aside and wait for a while while he notified Chan Fung-shih's department.
Su Yun thanked the police officer who received her, and then obediently came to the relatively quiet visitor area on the right, where she quietly sat down and waited for someone.
This visitor area is a semi-open area separated by plastic sheets. The wall is estimated to be the average height of a normal adult man. When Su Yun was bored, he suddenly saw two heads walking past next door.
Then, there was the sound of running water: it sounded as if the person next to her was using a water dispenser to get water. After all, she took a quick glance when she walked over and saw that the room next door also had something that could serve as a tea room.
"Hey, did you guys hear the news?"
"What's the rumor?"
"It is said that those female police officers contacted the Public Relations Department and the TV station, and are planning to promote a TV series featuring female police officers!"
"Ah? There is such a thing?!"
"That's right. It's said that it's related to the previous proposal to apply for female police officers to carry armed rifles. Although it hasn't been officially approved, it's basically 100% or 80% certain, so those female police officers want to take the opportunity to do some publicity..."
"Are you kidding me? We men have been doing this for a long time and no one has promoted it. These women are really troublesome!"
"That's right. I usually do clerical work and rarely appear in the field. When I do appear, I don't have to rush to the front. Why do I have to do so much? A rifle is so dangerous!"
"That's right. After all, it's all because of the equal rights movement in recent years. Women are included in all professions. People like us who work as police officers have to fight bad guys from time to time - they also want to join in. I really don't know why!"
"In my opinion, what use are female police officers? Apart from being placed in the office as flower vases, they can also be used to 'release snakes'..."
The so-called "releasing snakes" means that when the anti-prostitution team receives information tips and needs to send undercover agents, they will generally send male police officers to pretend to be clients of prostitutes and female police officers to pretend to be prostitutes, in order to infiltrate the inside to obtain more information or induce them to take action and fish for law enforcement.
Su Yun frowned at such overly chauvinistic remarks, but Chen Fengshi, who came to see her after receiving the news, said as if she was used to it: "Don't bother with these people. They may have a foul mouth, but they are not bad people. They just talk nonsense sometimes."
"I understand. It's mainly because you don't have enough awareness." Su Yun shook her head. "Now I finally understand your eagerness to make a TV series about female police officers."
It must be said that after following Chen Fengshi to the Public Relations Department to explain their purpose, Su Yun looked at the scene where most of the police officers in this department were female, and the sense of urgency in her heart increased a bit.
Sometimes, even women don't realize they are being discriminated against, let alone resist and fight against it.
Especially the female police officers who obviously looked older and had started to have a retirement mentality. After hearing about Su Yun and Chen Fengshi's purpose, some had sarcastic expressions, some had regretful expressions, some looked helpless and didn't want to bother...all kinds of expressions were seen.
"Once the bill on female police officers carrying armed rifles comes down, each department will have to select one or two people as the first batch of students for the 'Armored Sisters' training class. It's equivalent to another short-term classroom training. Many people who are content with the status quo will be unhappy..." Chen Fengshi whispered in Su Yun's ear why they were unwelcome.
However, no matter how unwelcome it was, I was able to obtain the necessary information and application materials smoothly.
After hearing from Su Yun that the trailer of this new drama will be released this Sunday, everyone can watch it when they have time. In this way, if there is a chance, they will invite these real female police officers to make guest appearances on TV, this listless picture has finally shown some signs of life.
Nowadays, many people are eager to have the opportunity to appear on TV. With this carrot hanging in front, Su Yun does not have to worry about the attention and attitude of the police.
A week passed in the blink of an eye, and Su Yun, who was in the super-strong state of "Hong Kong speed", managed to finish the trailer and the first five episodes in just this one week.
However, this shooting speed that shocked outsiders was actually not fast for TBB, a particularly hardworking TV station.
For this reason, Fang Mona also felt that this team slowed down Su Yun's progress: You know, when "The King of Gamblers" was added after "The Turn" was cut short, it took only three days to rush out ten episodes, and then the popular and well-received long-running TV series was completed in a hurry...
But no matter how dissatisfied Fang Mona was with the filming progress, the trailer edited by Su Yun was still released as scheduled.
On the TV screen, Zheng Yuting, who was wearing a policewoman uniform, immediately changed into a standard leisurely wife look after work. Apart from picking up her son from school, all other household chores were taken care of by her husband who came home from get off work.
The scene switches between the husband's hard work and Zheng Yuting playing with their son, and Zheng Yuting's very happy narration also appears: "My job pays well, there are many good benefits, and my family is happy... I really feel so happy!"
"Because - I have the best husband in the world..."
The happy tone suddenly changed when he said this: "Until... the day when my mistress came to visit me with a big belly."
There was a big reversal right from the start. Those who originally wanted to change the channel because they didn't want to watch GG, immediately put down the remote controls in their hands.
