The Road to Rebirth of the Movie King

Before the release of the second trailer, the crew of "Ink Seal" can be considered to have gathered all kinds of popular and powerful actors in Huaguo's entertainment circle. Because of the rare themes and the vigorous publicity in the early stage, it has naturally become the heart of movie fans. It's a movie I'm looking forward to, and after the trailer was made public, there was an extra cameo with fans all over the world to help out. Its gorgeous lineup, excellent special effects, and the details of Fuhuadao are full of wonderful elements of Huaguo All have aroused the enthusiastic attention and pursuit of a large number of netizens.

Since the release of the first trailer in early April, the film has entered the promotion period. It is now confirmed that the film will be released in mid-August, and July has become the best time for promotion. At the same time, I was naturally asked to participate in one or two programs to enhance my presence and increase the topic of the movie.

For recording variety shows, Ye Changshi doesn’t reject them, but he can’t even say he likes them. After all, participating in variety shows doesn’t make much money. One of the things you can get is your network, and the other is your appearance rate. Artists may flock to them, and they are willing to spend ten days and a half months changing their clothes and hairstyles in order to become popular in variety shows, or they may write several manuscripts and prepare to say something to increase their presence. feel.

This kind of behavior is completely understandable to Ye Changshi. He also had a time when he was not famous in his previous life, and he quite understood the importance of the appearance rate for an artist, but now he has passed that age, lived for a long time, and his vision has grown , although participating in various programs can greatly increase popularity, everyone knows that the popularity is only temporary. If you want to mix in this circle for a long time, if you want to mix well, you must rely on your strength and work in the end, and put away all other thoughts , put it in a serious job, and when almost others or future generations mention you, you can mention one or two masterpieces by the way, then you will be considered a success!

Therefore, in Ye Changshi's view, he can occasionally participate in funny and exciting variety shows as a way to relax his mind, but he would not put it on his main business. This idea coincides with the company's positioning for him, so he often The major TV stations sent invitations to programs, but if it was not necessary, they were all politely rejected by the blue gold medal.

But this time he had to participate in the promotion of the movie. Even the director Zeng Yuan called over and sincerely hoped that Ye Changshi could take up the promotional task, and the main reason had to be attributed to Su Chi. This person's cleanliness problem is really troublesome. According to Director Zeng, Su Chi has completely resisted this kind of activities since he participated in a variety show, such as "House of Horrors". The movie has no male lead, and it can't even have a second male lead. It is understandable that Zeng Yuan would feel anxious if he came forward.

So one morning, just as the sun was rising, Lan Diyuan took him on a plane to F City.

The program that Ye Changshi needs to record is called "Unexpected! ", since its inception five years ago, it has formed a unique style with various forms, novel content, high interest and participation!

Just like its name, this variety show always produces some things that are beyond the expectations of the guests. To put it bluntly, the director team just likes to make troubles. There have been embarrassments on the show, so the participating guests must have a certain ability to deal with emergencies before they dare to appear on this show. However, because of the many surprises during the recording process, the types of games prepared are not repeated, and its ratings The rate has always been high, and it is deeply loved by young audiences. There are few negative reviews on the Internet, and this variety show has been running.

The recording location of the program is at F TV station, which was successfully constructed and put into use this year. The building occupies a large area and is based on the studio group, including supporting technical rooms, team office rooms, stage props warehouses, and various functional facilities. Houses and large parking lots, etc., are second to none in the country. The buildings are built on the hillside, surrounded by vast green belts, and various recreational and fitness equipment are arranged in the garden. In the hot summer, the cicadas sing incessantly in the mountains. , if the weather wasn't too hot, Ye Changshi would definitely go for a stroll.

The two arrived at the TV station just in time for lunch. The other actors of the crew, Zheng Yixing and Xu Yiyi, had already arrived and were resting in their own dressing rooms. After Ye Changshi greeted the chief director, he went to ask the hosts if they knew each other. For a while, I took a lunch box from the program group by the way.

"I can't think of it! Each issue of "will set a theme, and some key elements will be integrated into the opening performance, stage layout, host guest costumes, game topics, etc. This time the crew and others came to promote "Moyin", so the theme will be It was negotiated by the director team as "We chased Xianxia movies in those years", so as to better set off and reflect the type of movie.

Knowing that the program team has taken so much trouble to promote the film, several members of the crew of "Ink Seal" were in a good mood. After lunch, they went to the studio with the host to rehearse the program with the script. It lasted for three or four hours. Question, everyone went to their lounges to change clothes and make up separately.

In the evening, the sun was setting and the heat was fading away. Lan Jinpai went out to buy dinner, and only Ye Changshi and two makeup artists were left in the rest room, busy preparing for the night's program recording.The afterglow of the setting sun penetrates quietly through the glass curtain wall, and the brilliance falls all over the floor, making the interior quiet and harmonious.

This trip didn't last long, and Ye Changshi didn't bring the Gang of Four with him. The make-up artists were all from TV stations, so he wasn't familiar with it. He sat in front of the mirror and let them do things on him. Occasionally, he raised a topic to chat This sentence improves the quiet atmosphere.

Not long after, there was a soft knock on the door, knowing that Lan Jinbai could not be so polite, probably someone from the program team, so he said, "Please come in."

As expected, it was a young female director who came in. After closing the door, she quickly found a chair close to Ye Changshi and sat down. She smiled and said, "Hello, Teacher Ye, let me talk to you about the shooting details. .”

Ye Changshi was doing eye makeup, so he didn't want to move around, so he only responded when he heard the words, and raised his hand to signal her to continue.

The female director didn't care about his casual attitude, and said, "The show has been rehearsed, so there shouldn't be any problems. I just want to talk about the link of testing popularity."

Ye Changshi followed her words and quickly walked through all the processes in his mind until he reached the final stage. The popularity test she said was to play a random lottery game. The selected guests or hosts would be randomly dialed by the program team The artist who has worked with him calls, and the selected person needs to rely on his own ability to let the other party say a sentence of the content of the script. If he says it, the test is successful, and if he fails, he is unpopular. Although it sounds nonsensical, it is undeniable. The audience loves to watch this kind of link.

He let out a "hmm" to express his understanding, and the female director continued: "For the promotion of the film and our ratings, our program team will try to select you as much as possible, let me make sure, when the time comes to connect with artists on the spot, do you want to choose the right one?" ?”

Ye Changshi raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that Nian described the black-box operation as fresh and refined, and wondered what the other two guests would think after knowing this!

He thought for a while, and said, "Ask me who I have worked with and have a good relationship. I really can't decide who to choose. Do you have any recommendations from the director team?"

The female director's eyes lit up, as if she was waiting for his words, and she said with a smile: "Not long ago, it was announced that Ji Ling was also an actor in "Ink Seal", and if you can contact the great god on the spot, it will further promote the promotion of the film. It also increases the ratings, we all think he is more suitable."

Hearing her answer, Ye Changshi was both helpless and a little funny. Thinking about it, the program crew had worked so hard to let Jiling appear on this variety show indirectly. It was a secret operation and someone to guide him. , he understood and was moved very much, but he didn't want to be tied to Ji Ling everywhere, so he rejected the female director's proposal.

"Brother, he may not be able to do it." Ye Changshi frowned and explained with a embarrassed look, "He seldom appears on variety shows, and he doesn't like being played by people as entertainment, and he is currently in There is a little time difference between here and country S to make movies, so I probably won't be free."

The female director also frowned, and seemed to be persuaded after thinking about it for a while, and her tone suddenly lost the excitement just now: "It's rare for you, Teacher Ye, to come to our show. It's a pity that you can't contact the great god!"

Ye Changshi rolled his eyes in his heart, so the value of his appearance on variety shows is to indirectly bring out Jiling?Those reality shows back then were really misleading!

In order to reduce her sense of loss, he said kindly: "Brother Ji is not convenient, why don't you contact Sister Bai."

"Miss Bai?"

"En, Bai Yiqing, is it okay?"

The female director was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Okay, Teacher Bai rarely appears on variety shows, so it can be used as a publicity stunt, but our program team doesn't have her contact information, so we have to borrow Teacher Ye's phone. "

This is not a big problem, anyway, his mobile phone is useless except for making calls and checking Weibo, thinking about Ye Changshi, he nodded and said, "Yes."

After getting a definite answer, the female director left with peace of mind. After a while, Lan Diyuan came back from buying dinner. After the makeup artist had left, Ye Changshi mentioned this matter to him, thinking that the other party would praise him for doing it. The right choice, in fact, Lan Jinchi hesitated to speak, and finally said: "This program group doesn't have so many morals and rules. It seems that every process has been discussed with you now. What an accident, it's not uncommon for some guests to turn their backs on the show because of old material, so you still have to be careful on stage."

Ye Changshi shrugged fearlessly: "Can't you trust my acting skills? Even if he doesn't show face and dig out my previous history of killing Matt, I can definitely keep smiling!"

Lan Diyuan: "Don't swear."

Ye Changshi "...oh."

At [-] o'clock in the evening, the audience has entered the arena one after another. The stepped auditorium is full of people. The working groups take their positions at the designated places in the No. [-] hall. The lights illuminate the stage, and the camera crews are all around. The recording of the show has officially started.
