Chapter 50 A huge pie falling from the sky?
"Xiao Ye, are you interested in playing a guest role in the show? There's a role that's perfect for you."
Director Kong is an artist who looks very artistic, with long hair and a big beard.
He has a serious face and is a very kind person.
After discussing the plot, he suddenly asked Ye Mengyu if she wanted to make a guest appearance.
That must be possible.
"Sure, I'll follow your instructions."
Ye Mengyu looked surprised and happy.
Her behavior made Director Kong laugh, "Agree without even asking what role it is?"
"Don't ask, I'll play whatever you arrange. Whoever you think is suitable for me, I can't go wrong."
[They say great directors have a keen eye for detail and can teach actors. The director must have discovered my hidden potential. Hahaha, it just so happens that I didn't know it myself, so I can learn from it!]
Director Kong: ...
After listening to her inner voice for a long time, he has been able to accept and adapt to her constant flattery in his heart. If she said it out loud, he would not take it seriously. After listening to it for most of his life, he has long been numb to it.
This is what the child really thought, which shows that he really recognizes him and it is not just a polite remark.
Who can resist this?
Shouldn't he give this little fan the entire role?
There just happens to be a suitable one.
It doesn't matter who plays the role.
"I have to tell you even if you don't ask me. My play mainly tells the fifty-year history of the three families of three male protagonists: an educated youth, a farmer, and a worker.
This educated youth later took the college entrance examination, married a college classmate, and had a son and a daughter. When the son grew up, he went abroad to study and found a Chinese girlfriend who was born and raised abroad.
I want you to play this girlfriend.
After returning to China with her boyfriend, everything she saw was new to her. This also reflects the conflict and integration of the domestic and foreign living environments in her..."
Oh my goodness, is this just luck? Isn't this just someone making a half-hour cameo appearance in three episodes, a 18th-place role? Is this supposed to be her magnum opus, a role she'll be hyped for life? When "Annual Rings" was a huge hit, she was trending all over the internet, but the audience had to wait until the last three episodes before the finale to see her in person... A lifetime of wealth guaranteed by a 18th-place role, who can compare? Hahahaha, I'm going to be rich!!!
Zhou Xuran used this role to establish his own high-quality character in the drama.
In the Eighteenth Chapter, anyone with a thick skin would feel embarrassed.
Of course, compared to her other hit dramas that were marketed to great success and disappeared three months later, "Annual Rings" is indeed a phenomenal quality drama that can enter the annals of TV dramas.
Almost every actor who participated in the show, even those with only a few minutes of screen time, has seen their status rise by more than one level. Veteran actors have become extremely popular again, with their acting offers booked up to the point of being overwhelmed.
The three male protagonists all became top-tier celebrities.
Among them, Guan Jiu, who played the educated youth, went from being a second-tier TV star to starring in three movies within a year, and won the Best Actor award the following year, becoming a first-tier movie star.
Almost all young actors can get the leading role later.
What is a real hit drama?
A drama that has all the actors at the top level is a real hit.
It’s not about whether it’s been on tens of thousands of hot searches, how many indexes have been on this or that index, or how low the ratings have been, or how good the data looks, that it’s a hit.
In the era of big data, any data can be fake.
It's the reputation of the people, the real amount of discussion, and the national popularity, which cannot be exaggerated.
…
Um?
Director Kong's ears perked up. The name of the play is still "Another Year of Heavy Snow and Light Snow", both in the script and on the blackboard on the scene.
The name "Annual Rings" was coined the day before when CCTV was watching the trailer and about to bid. The station leader said that the name "Another Year of Heavy Snow and Light Snow" was the same as the name of the Spring Festival Gala live broadcast program, and the name was not very eye-catching, so it would be better to change it.
Screenwriter Mr. Liu mentioned that when he first wrote the script, he thought of calling it "Annual Rings".
Now Ye Mengyu directly mentioned the name of "Annual Rings" and praised the show to the sky. He was so surprised.
He and screenwriter Liu are longtime collaborators. He's produced more than just one or two hit dramas in his lifetime. In the early days, when broadcast media wasn't as diverse, he produced a hit drama roughly every two years. Later, he produced one every five years, with the last one already being ten years ago.
In this era, it is very difficult to produce a hit drama.
Especially period dramas, young people don’t like to watch them.
It is impossible to produce a hit drama just by relying on the audience base of retired uncles and aunts.
When he made this drama, he was thinking about ensuring the quality and not damaging his reputation, and leaving behind a work that he was satisfied with before retiring.
I never thought about whether it would explode or not.
But if it can explode, that would of course be better.
Don’t say anything. At his point, he should have seen through the world and been indifferent to fame and fortune.
Bullshit.
If you are really indifferent to fame and fortune, you should quit the circle.
Who is still hanging around in this world's biggest fame and fortune?
It's so hard to raise funds, and half of your own wealth is at stake. If you don't make money, what's the point of living like starving?
Screenwriter Liu, who was typing on his laptop, also stopped and looked like he was thinking, but he was actually listening attentively.
Ye Mengyu was so excited that she tried hard to suppress her excitement. She even said to Director Kong, "You know what, this character and I have some similarities. I studied abroad for university, so I know quite a bit about the living habits there. If you hadn't told me, I would have been worried that my acting skills would be rusty and would have held me back. Now that you've said it, I'm confident. I think I can play myself."
Director Kong didn't want to hear her say that. He was more concerned about, "Does Xiao Ye think highly of our play?"
Ye Mengyu nodded vigorously. "Of course. You two are a golden combination. Your collaborative projects have never failed."
"That's fantastic! It's going to be the biggest hit of the next five years, with a peak viewership of 10 points and a steady 5 points or more daily. It's legendary! If it weren't true, no one would believe it. But if they could remove that minor flaw, everyone would definitely enjoy it even more."
flaw?
What flaw?
"Well, a man of honor never brags about his past achievements. We are all old and about to be left behind by the times. It's a world of the times now, and we can't keep up with the trend."
Director Kong sighed very skillfully, trying to guide Ye Mengyu to point out the flaws.
Unfortunately, Ye Mengyu didn't understand what Director Kong meant at all. "How could that be? Good things never go out of style. Classics are passed down forever."
Director Kong: ...That’s not what I want you to say.
Screenwriter Liu assisted again, "By the way, Xiaoye. You're young too, so give me some advice. To cater to the younger audience, I've added two young characters and used some popular internet slang. What do you think?"
As he spoke, he took out that part of the script and showed it to Ye Mengyu.
[Huh? So those two extras, the rat shit, were deliberately added in? To cater to the younger audience? Teacher Liu, what misunderstandings do you have about young audiences? How superfluous are those two?]
Deleting them didn't affect the plot at all. We young people don't want to see big idiots playing tricks, okay?
The performance of the veteran actor with explosive acting skills couldn’t be more exciting!
It’s so exciting to build a career, okay?
What kind of love are you talking about!
What kind of love are you talking about!
Green tea who only knows how to cry is so annoying! 】
Screenwriter Liu:!!!
