From collapsed house idol to entertainment superstar

"Hey, are you back in China? Is Thailand fun?"

"It's not bad, it's just a bit too sunny, but it's still as comfortable as ours."

Ding Zhi has now cooperated with Chen Ke so many times, and they have a lot of contact with each other, and they are familiar with each other, and they speak much more casually.

Although Chen Ke is many years older than him, he can still be considered Ding Zhi's friend.

Liang Jiahui, who is not even two years older than him, looks like a brother to him, and the three kids who filmed "The Hidden Corner" also have a good relationship with him, especially Wang Shengdi, who plays Pu Pu, is quite clinging to him.

, I had a video call with him last week when he was still in Thailand.

Brother Zhi is the best at smoothing out the age difference between friends.

"Speaking of which, our Teacher Ding, have you considered the third..."

"Hey! Stop it! You're not urging me! This "Hidden Corner" hasn't aired yet? You really think I'm as productive as a sow!"

Ding Zhi clearly heard what Chen Ke meant on the other end of the phone. This was another update.

In fact, it's not that he doesn't have a notebook in his head. Although he has been busy recently and the number of immersive script training in the dream space has been greatly reduced, there were actually many good stories in the past.

It's just not how it works. "The Hidden Corner" hasn't been aired yet, so it can't be done the same way.

Secondly, at this time, Ding Zhi is not as in urgent need of film and television resources as he was when he was filming Peeping last year.

And he still has "Operation Red Sea" scheduled for almost half a year of next year. Even worse, he still has the book that Li Feng and Han Jianan are tinkering with.

Of course, the drama will still be filmed, and relying on Peach TV, he has collaborated with Chen Ke to produce two dramas and an online variety show. In fact, the outline of his plan to break away from Huan Ping and become independent in the next few years is already vaguely visible.

Web dramas, especially high-quality web dramas, must have been an indispensable part of his life at that time.

Besides, he doesn't actually have any complicated thoughts about losing his position as a movie star if he makes a TV series. It's just that as his status improves, it is inevitable that the focus of his acting career will be more inclined to movies.

On the phone, the two of them soon started talking about the topic.

"By the way, speaking of this, the drama "The Hidden Corner" will be launched at the beginning of the year. I have to discuss it with you."

"At the beginning of the year? So urgent?"

Ding Zhi raised his eyebrows, showing a bit of surprise.

Speaking of which, Peach TV's "Mist Theater" released a hit movie "Peeping" at the beginning of this year, which even made Ding Zhi win the Magnolia Award for a few years, and subsequently launched two suspense dramas.

, it is also as short and concise as "Peeping", and the production can be said to be excellent.

But maybe the story twist is not as fascinating as "Peeping", or the characters are not as brilliant as "Zheng Zhi" played by Ding Zhi. The two dramas that followed "Peeping" are actually

It didn’t go out of the circle, or even explode.

In fact, it is already at a normal level, but unfortunately "Spy", a good start for Fog Theater, has raised everyone's expectations too high.

In fact, several platforms next door also followed the same example and launched "Love Theater" and "Suspense Mystery Theater" as the target columns. Instead, they produced one or two sweet dramas and suspense dramas that were popular.

In contrast, many people on the Internet say that "Mist Theater", a column that pioneered the high-quality short drama market, is somewhat of a high-priced and low-priced column.

And "The Hidden Corner" is undoubtedly another trump card for Peach TV to regain its reputation in the field of high-quality paid short dramas.

But when "The Hidden Corner" was released at the beginning of the year, I still seemed a little anxious.

Generally speaking, the process that a TV series goes through from completion to launch is roughly post-production, radio and television review, distribution and sale to TV stations and video websites, and publicity.

As for the post-production, it depends on the type of the subject matter. If it is a type that requires a lot of special effects, such as fantasy dramas and fairy tale dramas, then the post-production time required will naturally be more.

But in fact, the most critical one, or the one that takes the longest time, is the review and sale of the film. If it is to be broadcast on satellite TV, it is necessary to coordinate the broadcast schedule and time in advance.

It can take a few months, a year or several years.

The genre of "The Hidden Corner" is actually a family suspense drama. In addition to the scene where the protagonist Zhang Dongsheng pushes his father-in-law and mother-in-law off a cliff, which requires the use of green screen technology, there is not much pressure on special effects in the later stages, so the post-production process has already been completed at this time.

.

In addition, it is an online drama, and to a certain extent, it can also be regarded as a self-made drama of Peach TV, so it is simply ignored when it comes to selling the film.

In terms of review, naturally Chen Ke proposed to go online at the beginning of the year, so there must be no problem. Ding Zhi did not think too much about this level.

However, the last time "Peeping" was released ahead of schedule was naturally because at that time, the other four major platforms responded to the attack on Peach TV's newly opened "Mist Theater".

And this time, with Ding Zhi, a newly rising top star, as the banner, and the quality is not inferior to "Peeping" at all, or even better, in Peach's internal evaluation, it has even reached

He has reached the S level and even has the aura of a drama king.

It stands to reason that there is no fear of so-called sniping from other platforms, but Chen Ke still plans to raise the profile.

So Ding Zhi naturally had a guess. What Liang Qiong said before, the rumors that there will be changes in the top management of Taobao Pictures are probably not groundless.

But even if he guessed it, he didn't say anything more at this time.

"However, you may have heard some rumors about me, right?"

Ding Zhi didn't ask, but Chen Ke picked it out himself.

Sometimes smart people really don’t need to talk too much.

"I have just returned to China, and I have heard a little bit about it."

Ding Zhi leaned back on the sofa, knowing that Chen Ke had also guessed that he had called him not long after he returned to China. At least he heard something, so he immediately explained the layout of "The Hidden Corner" to Ding Zhi.

.

In fact, this also shows that Chen Ke really values ​​Ding Zhi's performance.

After all, Ding Zhi is a top streamer with both strength and good friends in the Hong Kong circle. Added up, his strength cannot be underestimated.

Especially his ability in content creation has been a huge help for Peach TV to buck the trend this year.

It can even be said that Chen Ke's appreciation and cooperation with Ding Zhi last year are the reason why Peach TV has the potential to be the fifth largest platform this year.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to think that Chen Ke attaches great importance to Ding Zhi.

"It's true that the superiors transferred a young man who doesn't know the heights of the world, but everything is under my control, so don't worry."

Chen Ke's tone was relaxed and he was obviously still confident.

But Ding Zhi knows that if there is really no impact at all, "The Hidden Corner" will probably not be planned to be released in advance.

It's just that he didn't ask any more questions. As he continued to talk, it seemed that he was talking too much.

However, this phone call also gave Ding Zhi a clear answer. At least he didn't have to worry that "The Hidden Corner", a drama that he personally supervised and participated in part of the investment, would be affected by the factional struggle within the Goose Factory Clan.
