The Golden Age of China Entertainment

"Come so early?"

Zhao Baogang rubbed his eyes, raised his head and looked around the video studio. The lighting equipment, recording equipment and various lines and pipes arranged on it looked densely packed.

"It can't be too early. Today is the start. Whether it's a good start or a bad start depends on today."

Feng Pants is fiddling with the camera: "What I am most worried about now is the audience. If there is no one there, the live effect will not be easy."

Yi Qing looked at his watch: "Wait until eight o'clock, if there is still no one, I can only bring our neighbors over here."

This was an emergency solution that Yi Qing came up with yesterday. If he really called Li Hong for help, it would seem that he, the production director, was incapable.

The three of them patrolled around, and the staff and actors arrived one after another. Although it was still early, Zhao Baogang arranged for the actors to make up, prepared in advance to be prepared, and solved problems in advance, so as to save them from being in a hurry .

The first episode was filmed today, the same as the original version, the first and second episodes of "Exerting Remaining Heat", it is about the old man Fu Ming who can't sit still after retirement, and then goes to work as a consultant, but now the leader of the work unit has taken his desk from The director's office was moved to the Women's Federation, and now the old man has nothing else to do. He decided to take charge of the work at home and make a big effort.

"You guys stare here, I'll go to the door to have a look!"

Yi Qing went out as soon as he said that. Before going out, he arranged for the theater affairs to order a lunch box at noon. The money can only be paid from the reserve fund at the bottom of the box. Whether he can earn it back today with the tickets depends on whether there is any audience.

I walked around the door for an hour, and there were many people passing by, but none of them walked in, and Yi Qing began to feel uncertain. It should be said that yesterday's publicity work was done well, even if there were not many people, it was still possible. It's not like there is no one!

Finally, after waiting until almost eight o'clock, the audience Yi Qing was looking forward to finally came, just one, a middle-aged man who looked polite.

"Comrade, is this the performance site of the drama "I Love My Family"?"

Yi Qing jumped up immediately after hearing the words, and hurriedly said, "That's right, it's here, are you here to see?"

The middle-aged man responded, took out a dollar and handed it over: "I came just now, but I couldn't find a place to sell tickets."

Yi Qing was startled when he heard the words, and slapped his head, how could he forget this: "This is the place, you go in first, and I will send you the ticket later. You can watch it for a day with the ticket. You can leave at will if you have something to do, and you can enter at will as long as you have a ticket."

As Yi Qing was talking, he welcomed the people in, and casually grabbed a young man with pipes: "Go to Feng Xiaogang, bring the ticket, and, let's get a chair, a table, and put it at the door, then Put up a sign, the ticket office, and you'll be watching over there."

The young man agreed and went, and soon there was a ticket office sign at the gate of the activity center, and gradually some people bought tickets to enter the venue, but not many.

Seeing this, Yi Qing hurried home by bicycle, knocking on doors from door to door, and when the door was opened, she stopped the person and said, "Hurry up, do me a favor, Jingtai Staff Activity Center, this is the address, be a spectator for us! "

Although Yi Qing has not moved here for a long time, he can chat with everyone. The neighbors in the neighborhood are all good. If anyone comes back from work, if anyone has the strength to do something, just ask him, and he will definitely help.

With good popularity, naturally there are many people who help, so Yi Qing quickly called more than 100 people to the shooting scene on bicycles.

Before bringing people into the arena, Yi Qing gave some instructions, she couldn't talk but laughed, and she couldn't tell anyone that she didn't buy a ticket to enter, otherwise, those who bought a ticket to enter the arena before would not be allowed to rebel!

When Yi Qing brought people in, there were already more than a dozen spectators sitting sporadically in the auditorium, that is to say, there were only a few more people who actually bought tickets than the actors.

It seems that the box lunch money for the first day will not be earned back.

After receiving the dozen or so dollars handed over by the temporary guest conductor, Yi Qing suddenly thought of Guo Degang, who later became very famous. That buddy went to the capital and founded the Deyun Club in the early days, which is probably what it is now.

Yi Qing still remembers an interview he had seen with Guo Degang, in which Lao Guo said that when the Deyun Society first started, it entered the venue every day in order to attract the audience, just like beggars walking around the streets in the old society, a few people stood at the door Allegro to attract people's attention.

At the worst time, there was only one audience in the audience, and a counterpart on the stage could achieve an overwhelming advantage in terms of numbers. After three performances a day, it was not enough for the meal, let alone the rental fee of the theater.

After seven or eight years of hard work, I finally made it through.

Yi Qing sighed, now he finally understands Lao Guo's suffering, but he just doesn't know when their small theater will become popular.

When Yingda filmed "I Love My Family" in the previous life, he was already well-known in the industry as a director. In addition, the main actors and actresses were all actors in the circle, and they belonged to the familiar audiences who were willing to pay for tickets to watch. Face, naturally you don't have to worry about such things.

Yi Qing and the others couldn't do it anymore. Before the first season aired, in their group, except for Mr. Chen Qiang, everyone else in their group was newcomers who didn't have any box office appeal.

If you want to attract an audience, you can only rely on word of mouth.

People are interested in watching it, so they are naturally willing to come, and they are also willing to help them promote it for free, otherwise, just wait and see.

"How many tickets have not been sold?"

As soon as Yi Qing sat down, he heard Zhao Baogang next to him say something.

"Don't worry, take your time. We don't need to buy tickets to shoot this show. It's really not possible. Just like what I said to Lao Feng, let everyone come in for free, and I will take care of the daily box lunch money."

Zhao Baogang and the others all knew that Yi Qing was rich, but he didn't have the money to live in such a big house, and even a house with a garden, acting like a wealthy landlord.

"Just waiting for your words."

Yi Qing said angrily: "I'm the production director, or the housekeeper! Don't worry, I won't starve you. I've asked Xiao Cui to order it. How are your preparations going?"

Zhao Baogang raised his hand and glanced at his watch: "It's almost there, starting on time at 08:30."

Yi Qing listened, and went to the actors for a while. Today's big show, their performance is the key. Although they have held countless meetings and analyzed the characters countless times before, if they don't shake in front of the camera, who I don't know exactly how.

"Sister Song! The first scene will be played later, but it's all up to you."

If we say that among the male actors, Mr. Chen Qiang is the well-deserved No. [-] male actor, then among the female actors, Song Dandan is the key. The dramatic conflict and comedy effect of her role in He Ping is the most prominent. If she can't stand up, No matter what other people do, it will be in vain.

Song Dandan took a deep breath. If she said she wasn't nervous, she would be lying. This was the first time in her life that she acted in front of a camera, and she was playing a comedy character who had a big age gap with her. When she first came into contact with this character, she was in a daze and didn't know how to behave.

But after practicing for such a long time, coupled with the uninterrupted analysis sessions, the character of He Ping is almost growing on her body now.

"Don't worry, a bumper prize is guaranteed!"

bumper lottery?

Yi Qing secretly said: I hope I won't be so bloody!

Chapter 1 preparation, start

Chapter 1 preparation, start

The staff was doing the pre-shooting preparations in an orderly manner, while the people in the auditorium looked confused, some of them had watched the play.

The stage of the drama is not like this, there is not even a big curtain, it is completely open, and what is going on with those machines?

Really want to shoot on the spot! ?

Then you have to sit upright, don't turn your head and scan the camera, sitting staggered, it doesn't look good when you take pictures.

The most astonishing thing was the stage set, which was not big at first, and was divided into pieces. They could tell that the living room was directly opposite, the kitchen was next to it, and three bedrooms were arranged side by side.

What on earth is this for?

Eight thirty!

Zhao Baogang and Yi Qing looked at each other, and then the whole person's state was different. This was the first scene he actually directed. He used to be a popular scene, and his name was not listed on the subtitles. This time it was different. When the TV series was broadcast, the name followed by the director was his old man.

"All departments prepare and report the situation!"

Without a walkie-talkie, Zhao Baogang directly found a loudspeaker.
