November 11th is the last day of filming for "Wulin Gaiden" and it is also the 1,000-day countdown to the Beijing Olympics.
The mascot of the 29th Olympic Games held in Beijing in 2008, "Fuwa", was also released on the same day. It consists of five naive and cute dolls with different symbolic meanings and images.
Since the director and one or two leading actors in the crew are all from the military art department, it has become one of the crew's work arrangements to organize everyone to watch such an educational event.
"Now the Olympic Organizing Committee is making a lot of money. One sale will bring five mascots." Holding an apple in his hand and looking at the live broadcast on the TV set on the set, Yao Dazui joked, " But they all look pretty cute. When will Director Long give me a set?"
"If the average ratings exceed 3%, I will give it to you." Long Fan said while staring at the TV screen without looking back.
Yao Chen, who was asking for boredom, could only give this "so ambitious" director a blank look, and then ran to Yan Ni, who was watching with gusto, for comfort.
Even in Yangba, it is not possible to achieve an average rating of 3%, not to mention that there are only two "Wulin Gaiden" actors in the entire cast, one is Long Fan, A Chen Qiaoen, the latter is basically in a soy sauce state, such a lineup can get 3% of the ratings without any early publicity, not to mention Yao Chen, even Long Fan himself cannot convince himself.
The reason why the target is an average ratings of 3% is a goal set by Long Fan based on his own research. The best result before Yangba was that the average ratings of a single episode of TV series exceeded 3%. His purpose is to break this situation. record of.
The ratings of 3% seem to be much lower than the previous average ratings of more than 10%, but in fact there is still a big difference. The main reason is the difference in statistical scope.
The statistical scope of local stations is basically based on provinces, so there are often comparisons such as "seven provincial champions", and there are also various statistical data of 25 cities or 35 cities. However, as far as CCTV is concerned, its statistics are for the whole country and have a larger base, which cannot be compared with regional TV stations.
On the other hand, the confusion of ratings statistics cannot be ignored. Those programs that frequently claim that their ratings are 20 to 30%, or the statistical scope is narrowed to one city. Or simply spend money to bribe the relevant companies. Buying "water ratings" to gain gimmicks It's like an online voting draft, with dedicated personnel operating it.

"Are all the actors here?"
When the live broadcast about the 1,000-day countdown to the Olympic Games ended on TV, the director Shang Jing, who organized everyone to watch, stood up and asked.
Since it is the filming of the finale, all the leading actors need to be gathered together. Therefore, starting from the past two days, members who left the crew early have returned one after another, including Chen Qiaoen, who had already taken over the filming of another youth drama under Huayi's arrangement, and also left. The long-time "Yan Xiaoliu" Xiao Jian, the No. 1 beggar "Xiaomi" Zhang Qing, Ling Xiaosu who came to take Yao Chen home and made a guest appearance
Meeting these long-lost team members. The entire crew was also filled with a festive atmosphere of laughter, laughter, and celebration, as if the filming was not about to be completed, but had just begun.
What is different from the past is that today¡¯s shooting team has a special pair, that is, Yao Chen and Ling Xiaosu, who are husband and wife.
It seems that he is still not used to acting with his husband. When reviewing the script, Yao Chen rarely talks much, and he secretly laughs while listening to other people's conversations.
Ling Xiaosu, who is a fellow Shaanxi fellow like the lead actor Yan Ni, appears to be much more serious. From time to time, he would find his fellow fellow to communicate with him about the script in Shaanxi dialect. At the same time, he was also warming up for the performance later, and his funny pronunciation that did not match his handsome appearance also made everyone laugh at the scene.
¡°It seems that in order to show off his language talent, Ling Xiaosu also found screenwriter Long Fan. Ask him for a few words of Northeastern dialect.
By the time everyone was ready and the shooting officially started, it was already close to one o'clock in the morning. In order to make up for the lack of lighting, an artificial light source made up of four headlights was also set up outdoors, reflecting the indoors into daylight through the doors and windows.
¡°It¡¯s the last episode, everyone, cheer up.¡± Director Shang Jing used a loudspeaker to encourage morale at the scene.
For the convenience of final shooting, the last episode was shot completely according to the storyline. This also makes it easier for actors who have been away from the team for a long time to develop their acting skills.
Since some scenes have been shot intensively, the rest can be shot in one day.
The first scene starts with the shooting in the lobby. Yan Xiaoliu, who has received the dispatch order, is about to leave Tongfu Town, which also hints at the end of this sitcom from the beginning.
"The lighting and recording are in place, and the actors are in place"
After the assistant director¡¯s arrangements were announced,, followed by director Shang Jing¡¯s instructions, ¡°The finale, the first scene of the 80th episode, officially started shooting!¡±
¡°Then the two cameras on both sides of the hall started working at the same time. The iconic smile of shopkeeper Tong Yan Ni first appeared in the viewfinder in front of the director, ¡°I¡¯ll give you a drink to see you off tonight.¡±
" Then Xiao Jian, who played Yan Xiaoliu, refused and said, "No, we'll wait until the people arrive in two days. We'll do it together to see him off and save you some money."
Yao Chen put his head around and asked, "Who is coming?" when the director shouted "stop"
"Yao Chen, you have to act curious. You look like you are asking questions knowingly!" the director reminded.
Ling Xiaosu, who was waiting on the stage at the side, had a proud look on his face, "He won't be able to perform if he sees me. I'd better find a place to rest."
With that said, Ling Xiaosu turned around and left, hiding outside to study the script.
"Tch~" Although his expression showed disdain for Ling Xiaosu, Yao Chen still showed a hint of acquiescence in his eyes.
Yan Ni couldn't help but said happily, "This girl is usually quite crazy, but I didn't expect that she is quite serious about relationships."
Fortunately, Yao Chen regained his original form, and the next performance was successfully completed. The main thing here is to watch Xiao Jian's performance. This cute-looking head catcher finally lived up to expectations and successfully performed a large part of his lines.
Although it was already late at night, the entire Tongfu Inn was more lively than during the day. No one complained about sleepiness, and no one squinted. Everyone was working towards the same goal.
¡
"I love you so much. Just like a mouse loves rice, I miss you so much and dream about you every night!"
Outside the door, a group of fans, composed of young female crew members and some extras called in, shouted loudly in the direction of the inn, as if they were welcoming a superstar idol.
The appearance of this scene also made Long Fan couldn't help but laugh. Although the script was written by his hand, when such a nonsensical scene actually appeared in reality, he couldn't help laughing.
"Open the door, open the door, why should you close the door in broad daylight" was performed by two supporting actors. Yao Chen, who came on stage again, knocked on the door and shouted outside.
The door of the inn suddenly opened. Ling Xiaosu, who looked helpless, said impatiently, "Girl, I beg you, can you respect yourself! It's not my problem that I am handsome, but it is your problem that you judge people by their appearance! Don't you feel ashamed? ?¡±
"What are you talking about? Who is this person?" Yao Chen looked at the room with a speechless face, and finally stopped laughing.
"Okay, you don't have to pretend anymore. What are you pretending to do? I'm telling you. There's no chance for us!"
Maybe this is just a line, but only Long Fan knows that this sentence will really become a prophecy in the future.
¡
It was already past five o'clock in the morning, and the sky was slightly white. After a night of overtime work, everyone seemed a little tired.
But this was also the moment of farewell in the film. Several main creators stood at the door together, and after performing the part of seeing Yan Xiaoliu off, Ling Xiaosu asked a question. "By the way, how did you all get together?"
Everyone followed the director¡¯s request, looked at each other with smiles and then looked at the camera ahead.
Yan Ni, who was in the center, smiled. "That's a long, long story. Where do I start?"
"Then the leading actors, Yan Ni, Long Fan, Jiang Chao, Chen Qiaoen, Yu Entai all waved towards the camera and said, "Goodbye" and "Goodbye" and finally looked upward.
As the camera moves, the picture finally freezes on a close-up of the "Tongfu Inn" plaque.
"Okay, it's over!"
The director gave the order, and a burst of spontaneous applause erupted from the scene. The lead actor and other members of the team stood there smiling and clapping their hands.
¡°More than four months and nearly half a year of arduous filming finally ended successfully today. It was really not easy. Everyone worked here with great enthusiasm, but now it¡¯s finally time to say goodbye, but they seem a little reluctant to leave.
Yao Chen, who had completed such a "long-form masterpiece" for the first time, couldn't help but bend down and thank the director and other staff around him, "Thank you, everyone, thank you!"
In her opinion, this is also her true dream journey.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
"Do you feel a lot more relaxed instantly?" When returning to his residence, director Shang Jing, who was walking with Long Fan, asked with a smile, "Four months have been really difficult."
Indeed, if you are an actor who has long been accustomed to wearing clothes that go against the solar terms, it is not too difficult to withstand hot or cold weather, then filmingThe large number of mosquito bites in this area is unbearable for ordinary people. Almost everyone has been attacked by insects here, but they still have to endure the pain and insist on taking pictures.
"It's okay, but I still miss it very much when I think about the lack of special happiness in the future." Long Fan said frankly, "If I have the opportunity, I will still want to make such a relaxing TV series. At least I will be very happy."
"That's true." Director Shang Jing nodded, "When you want to shoot, you can come to me anytime. I'm good at this."
"Haha, I will." Long Fan smiled bitterly, "But I'm afraid it won't be possible in the short term. It's the promotion period soon, and I have to start spending time on the plane again."
Now that "Hands Up" is about to premiere, the broadcast schedule of "Wulin Gaiden" has also been set. Also during the Spring Festival, the release date of "Daisy" will not be too late. Think of a TV series with two During the movie's promotion work, Long Fan's relaxed state of mind was suddenly lifted again.
And he has to think about his next work. For the next work, Long Fan will no longer be simply satisfied with the domestic market. How to choose the right materials has become a problem that he must consider now.
"Yes, this is the difficulty of being an actor. You are still young. If possible, try not to overtax your body." Director Shang Jing understood, "Fame and fortune are sometimes not as important as your body."
Long Fan nodded, "Yeah."
¡
Although he stayed up all night filming, Long Fan couldn't fall asleep after returning to his bedroom. In the end, he simply gave up and went to sleep. He got up and turned on the computer, recorded his feelings about the filming during this period, and posted it in the form of a blog.
After finishing all this work, Long Fan had the idea of ??going back to sleep. He closed the curtains and fell asleep on the bed.
And as if influenced by "Daisy", in the dream he became a killer again, but this time he appeared in South Korea, coming here to find a special person (To be continued. Please search Gone with the Wind Astronomy and novels are better and updated faster!
