Entertainment begins with the talk of young China

Chapter 299 The Name of the People

The drama "In the Name of the People", from the preparation of the script, to the formation of the director team, to the completion of the filming of the entire drama.

In the entire entertainment circle, it has attracted much attention.

After all, one has the endorsement above.

The second is because "Dark War", which was co-written by more than 20 screenwriters including Chang Chenggong Qingteng, started filming at the same time as "In the Name of the People", and was promoted at the same time.

This operation does not seem to be able to be said to be successful and wait for others. There is something wrong.

After all, there are not ten new dramas broadcast in the Spring Festival every year, but eight.

But the dispute between the two parties has been rumored in the world since the script was finalized.

So after the two TV series are scheduled for the Spring Festival, the people who eat melons can't wait anymore.

This matter is not big, but it is not small.

Time Network Group.

[How did you see that "In the Name of the People" and "Dark War" were broadcast on the same schedule? 】

""In the Name of the People" was broadcast on CCTV, and "Dark War" was broadcast on Shangjing TV Station. They both premiered on the first day of the Lunar New Year. This time, everyone has a good show to watch!"

"By the way, are Chang Chenggong Qingteng and others really not afraid of being blocked? Their operation is a bit like doing it against the above?"

"???? Others shoot TV dramas in normal shifts and broadcast them normally. What's the problem? At most, the themes of the two TV dramas collide!"

"The higher authorities were able to pass the review for the two dramas together, which means that in the eyes of the higher authorities, the so-called joint screenwriters want to surround and kill Qi Ji... It seems that it is not a matter at all!"

"Haha, everyone knows that these are the co-screenwriters who are fighting with Qi Ji, or in other words, fighting with the higher-ups! They just want to see from the higher-ups, whose book is the best, and which one is the best. The audience loves it!"

Post it, someone posted a post.

[If I were the above, I would definitely delay the review time of "Dark War". After all, if the ratings of "Dark War" were really better than "In the Name of the People", wouldn't it be a shame? 】

"I think so too! If what you said really comes true, where will Qi Ji's face be put? Where will the upper face be put?"

"It's really hard to say about this matter. What the leaders mean... Maybe people just think that the quality of "In the Name of the People" is super high!"

"Haha, I think, no matter how powerful Qi Ji is, his screenwriting works alone can't beat the joint creation of more than 20 screenwriters, right?"

"A lot of people are indeed powerful, but the creation of this matter has nothing to do with the number of people!",

The whole network is under heated discussion.

[We are actors] In the group chat.

Someone circled Qi Ji curiously and asked: "Mr. Qi Ji, this time "In the Name of the People" and "Dark War" will be broadcast on the same schedule, don't you panic! "Dark War" has an all-star cast! !"

The person who asked this question was a second-tier actor named Zhang Ye.

Coincidentally, he played a small villain in "Dark War".

Of course, Qi Ji himself did not know about this matter.

Qi Ji is currently chatting with Feng Muyu, Zhao Tianxian and others in this group.

At this moment, I was @, so I said: "There is nothing to panic, even if it is panic, then our director Pi must panic, I am a bad screenwriter, what do I know about "In the Name of the People"!"

Feng Muyu also came out to speak: "Zhang Ye, do you think I don't know that you have a role in "Dark War"? Don't pick things up here? Or do you want to hype?"

What Feng Muyu said was so right that he didn't give this Zhang any sympathy.

As soon as she said this, the whole group fell silent for a few seconds.

Immediately, several actors stood up and made a rescue.

"Oh, Zhang is just asking casually. I looked at his and his chat records. It's really nothing!"

"Haha, everyone is just chatting, these are trivial things! Teacher Qi Ji and Teacher Zhang Ye, please don't hurt your friendship because of this incident. In our line of work, the drama that we starred in hit the schedule. This is really normal, everyone, don't have extra thoughts!"

While everyone was chatting, they saw the following prompt.

【Qi Ji has withdrawn from the group chat. 】

"????"

"What's the situation? Mr. Zhang, you didn't say anything? Why did you quit the group all of a sudden?"

"If you retreat, then retreat. Different ways don't conspire with each other! Qi Ji, he is now a popular fried chicken, and we are all old bacon. In his eyes, there is no difference between us and passers-by! "

"Haha! This Qi Ji! Is it okay to simply mention the names of the two dramas? It seems that he has no confidence in himself!"

"Look at Qi Ji's despondent retreat from the group. Everyone, wait until the Chinese New Year and see the ratings of his drama. Maybe, haha, he is even more despondent than he is now!"

The people in the group are getting worse and worse.

[Feng Muyu quit the group chat. 】

[Zhao Tianxian quit the group chat. 】

As a result, the actors who had a good relationship with Qi Ji all retired.

This group, all of a sudden, lost almost one-third of its members.

And at the headquarters of Banana Entertainment.

Wu Changshan, Chang Chenggong, Zhang Ye and the others sat together, with many pairs of eyes watching the group chat together.

Zhang Ye touched his forehead, looking very surprised: "This Qi Ji, why did you just quit the group just like that? Isn't this about martial ethics?"

What he said just now was made after careful consideration by everyone present.

What I originally thought was that as long as Qi Ji started to answer the conversation.

Then you can always find something in Qi Ji's chat history.

But who would have thought.

This Qi Ji, this is completely unacceptable.

Chang Chenggong said: "Mr. Wu, I have already said that the quality of our drama this time is very high. If you don't believe me, you can watch the finished film for yourself! We don't need this kind of extraterrestrial trick at all." Got it!"

Although there is arrogance in his heart, Chang Chenggong has always expressed dissatisfaction with Qi Ji's script.

But what he wanted was to crush Qi Ji's new drama in terms of ratings and word of mouth after the show actually aired.

Only Qi Ji was defeated openly.

In this way, it can be regarded as understanding.

This is not just Chang Chenggong and Qingteng's thinking.

This is the common idea of ​​their more than 20 co-screenwriters.

To put it bluntly, everyone's thoughts are actually very simple.

That is, everyone thinks that the quality of "Dark War" is higher than that of "In the Name of the People".

So everyone is very unconvinced about losing the election.

"That's all right, all right, isn't this just for everyone to have fun together? Since Qi Ji doesn't accept the recruiting, then let's go through the normal promotion process! The cast of our show alone is crushing. Press "In the Name of the People"!" Wu Changshan said seriously, smoking a cigar.

Chang Chenggong said: "This time, we just want to use our strength to tell the public how strong our company's ability to produce TV dramas is!"

He was clearly confident.

"Dark War" is the drama with the largest investment in Banana Entertainment this year.

The cast, all of them have acting skills and are very popular with the audience.

There is still a week until New Year's Day.

The promotion of "Dark War" spread out.

The shop is everywhere, whether it is online or offline, this new year's anti-corruption drama is being promoted everywhere.

In comparison, "In the Name of the People" appears to be much lower-key.

This is a small drawback broadcast on CCTV.

Because of the identity of CCTV.

Therefore, the promotion of the drama it will broadcast is very traditional. It edits some very short promotional videos of about 30 seconds.

It is not like Shangjing TV Station, which also has several popular regular variety shows, and can invite the main creators of TV dramas to promote and create momentum.

but.

The biggest advantage of CCTV is that.

It is the largest broadcasting platform in China.

Its audience range is also the largest among all the TV stations in Huaguo.

Especially CCTV's set. It can be said that as long as there is a TV set, then watching CCTV's set is the first choice.

And this is also Qi Ji's greatest confidence.

So in the past few days, Shunli Entertainment's "People's Righteousness" project team has been discussing how this drama should make its own publicity within the limited operable space.

After all, this play can be regarded as the first play that Qi Ji and his superiors collaborated on.

If this drama can take off and the publicity effect is very good.

Then Qi Ji's resources on it in the future will definitely be more sufficient!

Meng Feichen and the others seemed extremely nervous, and kept proposing some propaganda methods.

"If the main creators of "In the Name of the People" can't participate in some variety shows, should we contact them and arrange some live broadcast promotional activities and the like."

"In fact, the audience of this kind of drama should not be dominated by young people, so what we need to face is actually middle-aged people!"

Qi Ji looked at everyone's suggestions calmly, waved his hands, and said, "Why are you fighting like a war?"

"Boss Qi, this is Banana Entertainment declaring war on you! In this day and age, even the smell of wine is afraid of deep alleys! If our drama doesn't do a good job of publicity, it's really not easy to outperform the opposite one." "Dark War"!"

Qi Ji said: "Aren't I the only one who has something to do with this drama here? I just wrote a script that they are satisfied with according to the tasks assigned by the above. That's all. Don't complicate things Even if it is propaganda, this should not be a red line that we can cross.”

After Qi Ji finished speaking, he waved his hands and continued to stare at the post-production of "Nezha".

This winter is very cold.

Mu Yunxiu stayed in Chaoyang City for more than half a year, and it was approaching the Spring Festival, so she couldn't stay any longer.

In the cold weather, he took Qi Ji to play around for a few days.

I didn't return home until my thirties.

This year because of Qi Youning, Lao Qi's family and Lao Mu's family celebrated the Spring Festival together, enjoying themselves happily.

"Qi Ji, I won't watch this year's Spring Festival Gala without you." Two pairs of parents were sitting opposite each other, playing mahjong, and the father-in-law directly lit a cannon and teased Qi Ji in frustration.

Qi Ji filled up the tea for everyone, and turned on the TV: "There is no sound of the Spring Festival Gala during the Chinese New Year, and I always feel that it is a little bit meaningless."

At this moment, the opening of the Spring Festival Gala is playing on the TV.

Feng Muyu and the other three millennial Xiaohua were singing the opening song.

"Xiao Yu is really on fire this time! This is the beginning of the Spring Festival Gala!" Qi Ma scanned the TV and said with a smile.

Mu Yunxiu pouted, pinched Qi Youning's baby face lightly, but said nothing.

Qi Ji patted her lightly, then said with a smile: "Mom, our teacher Xiuxiu, this is a frequent visitor to the Spring Festival Gala! It's not rare to go to the Spring Festival Gala now!"

Father Qi smiled and said, "You brat, you know you are better than Xiuxiu?"

Qi Ji checked Weibo and found that the reputation of this year's Spring Festival Gala was the same as in his previous life, and he had basically become the object of ridicule by netizens.

As the audience, among the countless unsightly ones, they can barely pick out the existence of a one-minute highlight.

The next day.

07:30 in the evening.

Today is New Year's Day.

But the live news broadcast will continue as usual.

And after it aired.

The host didn't stop, but said one more sentence: "This year, the anti-corruption drama "In the Name of the People" will premiere on our station's prime time. It's a wonderful plot that everyone should not miss."

Live news is a platform for CCTV to report on global news and major events on time every day.

Its ratings, there's no doubting it.

Even at this moment, the audience is preparing to switch channels.

But the number of people who saw this less than 20-second promotion is also extraordinary.

This short ten seconds is comparable to the tens of millions burned by Banana Entertainment in publicity.

Chang Chenggong found out about it 10 minutes later.

His whole body, in an instant, was emo.

This... This is not about martial ethics at all!

Isn't this kind of publicity a bully?
Chang Chenggong shook his head helplessly, then silently opened Weibo.

It was discovered that "In the Name of the People" appeared in the last scene of the live news broadcast, and it has already been topped on the hot search list.

"Hahaha! This is the first time I've seen a live news broadcast promoting a TV series!"

"What is the origin of "In the Name of the People"? How can I get this kind of prime-time promotional resources? It seems that I must take a look at it later!"

"This drama is written by Qi Ji! Everyone, watch it at five minutes past eight, so watch it on time at one o'clock! It's super good!"

"It has to be Qi Ji! This is a real masterpiece! I have never seen such a publicity scene!"

"If it's not as good as other people's "Dark War", wouldn't it be a slap in the face!"

Chang Chenggong silently put down the phone.

"Dark War" was broadcast on Shangjing TV Station at 35:[-].

The real-time audience rating of the broadcast was 0.8%.

Already great.

But Chang Chenggong did not contribute to the ratings of "Dark War".

Instead, he turned on CCTV and watched "In the Name of the People" silently.

[Which corrupt official would live in my place?Haha, this kind of old building doesn't even have an elevator. If there are corrupt officials who can live in this place, then our common people should not set off cannons to celebrate! 】

As soon as the first episode of "In the Name of the People" came up, there was a plainly dressed Zhao Dehan who looked honest and responsible.

The leading actor Hou Liangping sat in front of him.

He ate his noodles seriously.

And shallots with garlic.

No matter how you look at it, such a person doesn't seem to be a corrupt official, does he?

But our hero, why should we check him?

The audience, with curiosity, continued to watch the second episode.

Then, everyone was shocked by the plot.
