From collapsed house idol to entertainment superstar

The song "Ruishi" has had a far-reaching impact, because Ding Zhi's own popularity and traffic were blessed at the beginning, and the development from its emergence to widespread popularity fermented extremely quickly.

Later, there were all kinds of discussions about this song and MV on major social platforms, short videos, and even many people’s circles of friends, which was enough to create a trend.

Even after it was thoroughly fermented, it seemed to be even more widely discussed than the original "Lonely Warrior".

There are many voices on the Internet asking Jiuyao to completely film the story of that MV. There was even a period of time when this petition was briefly on the hot search list.

To be honest, even Ding Zhi himself could not have imagined that "Ruyu" could generate such a strong response.

On the one hand, he naturally has his own traffic, and the song and MV have a strong chemical reaction. First of all, it has an advantage in communication.

But more importantly, this work meets the needs of the people and caters to the aesthetics of today's young people. In addition, the official media vigorously promotes this work. It is a product born of the right time, place and people, and it is somewhat unreplicable.

Regarding the requests circulating on the Internet to "shoot that MV as a movie/TV series", neither Ding Zhi nor Jiuyao Media has officially responded.

In fact, after Ding Zhi and his Jiuyao Media handed over such a perfect answer sheet as "Ruyu", the superiors also explored this aspect. Of course, they will not get involved in this aspect again. After all, in

Without special indicators, filming TV series is more of a commercial activity.

Ding Zhi means, think about it.

After all, this kind of thing cannot be decided by just patting your head. All aspects need to be considered.

The first thing that cannot be avoided is profitability.

Just like a song or a MV that lasts a few minutes, you just lose it.

It can actually strengthen the social influence of Ding Zhi and Jiuyao Media, which is actually quite profitable.

But a historical drama, even one with a chronicle-like quality, requires a very high investment cost.

For example, the set-up of the real scene, the perfection of the costumes, and the actors’ remuneration.

If someone comes to shoot a music video, it’s fine with zero pay. You can’t ask other actors to work for you for four or five months and get no pay or less pay, right?

This is inappropriate.

To put it simply, the production cost of such a drama alone would be upwards of 100 to 200 million.

Moreover, another problem with this kind of serious drama is that it is difficult to get back the original cost.

Because of the particularity of the plot, the possibility of advertising placement is basically eliminated.

Then we can only think of ways to purchase on the platform.

To put it bluntly, unless support funds are allocated from the top down, the chance of losing money for this kind of drama series is actually quite high.

So both Ding Zhi and Liang Qiong are very cautious about this.

After all, if such a large-scale production loses money, it will not be comparable to a music video worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

At least it's in the tens of millions.

This amount is enough to break the bones of both Ding Zhi and Jiuyao Media who have firmly established themselves.

It might even be able to directly destroy the great situation created over the past year or so.

So for the time being, shooting plans in this area do not occupy much priority among Ding Zhi's many plans for this year.

However, for many fans or viewers who have been thinking about "Ding Zhiju", they are not completely disappointed at this time.

The reason is very simple, that is, "The Wind", which has been finalized for a long time, is officially launched on the toilet station at 8 o'clock, and is broadcast simultaneously on Mango TV. Members can watch it first at 19 o'clock, and non-members can follow it on satellite TV at 20 o'clock.

For example, this time "The Wind" has three publicity stunts, one is a spy movie, the other is a main plot of finding a traitor similar to "Werewolf", and the last one is written by Ding Zhi.

In fact, dramas produced by Jiuyao Media are often called "Dingzhi dramas" in the market today. This shows that after years of cultivation, the dramas produced by Dingzhi have already become a brand effect.

On the night of the broadcast, many of Ding Zhi's loyal viewers were already sitting in front of the TV, and even more were sitting in front of the computer waiting for the broadcast to start.

The same goes for Guan Xiaoying.

A few days ago, she listened to Ding Zhi's song "As You Wish" and its MV over and over again, and also watched the MV again and again.

She is already familiar with almost every character who appears in them.

Every time I watch it, tears can't help but well up in my eyes.

For this reason, she is also one of the many netizens who strongly urge Ding Zhi to quickly turn this video into a film.

However, Ding Zhi and Jiuyao Media did not respond. In desperation, Guan Xiaoying had no choice but to find a "meal replacement".

What could be a better substitute than "The Wind" written by Ding Zhi and produced by Jiuyao Media?

Although Guan Xiaoying is not really interested in spy dramas, she can't care about it so much at this time.

She didn't wait until eight o'clock. In fact, as an expert in watching dramas, she had already become a member of Mango TV.

Soon, 19 o'clock arrived, and "The Wind" started broadcasting on time.

...

...

At the very beginning of the TV series, in a luxurious restaurant, the traitor Liu Yijun guest-starred was talking to an old man wearing a Tang suit.

Before they could say a few words, a waiter came forward, took out a pistol from under the cage, and shot him dead.

"Fuck!"

Guan Xiaoying's eyebrows jumped.

"The Sound of the Wind" opens with the same familiar rhythm, sharp editing, and rapid progress!

It's exactly the same as Ding Zhi's usual style.

Even though Ding Zhi's participation in this drama is not deep, it is obvious that the entire team is almost in his shape.

In fact, the main plot of Feng Sheng is very simple.

In the middle of the war against Japan, Wang Jingwei secretly negotiated peace with Japan and established a new "National Government" in Nanjing.

Wang Jingwei established bandit suppression headquarters in various enemy-occupied areas and brutally persecuted anti-Japanese elements.

On the occasion of the grand ceremony marking the 30th anniversary of the founding of the Nationalist Government, an important member of the Wang Puppet Government was shot dead, which naturally attracted great attention from the Japanese side.

Takeda, the head of the Japanese military secret service, suspected that this series of assassinations was planned by Lao Gui, the underground leader in the Beiping area, and hoped to completely crack down on his organization through investigation.

Takeda investigated that the old ghost responsible for sending the instructions was lurking in the bandit suppression headquarters, so he brought the five suspects who were most likely to have access to the telegram to the closed Qiuzhuang.

Wu Zhiguo, captain of the puppet army's bandit suppression brigade, Bai Xiaonian, the aide to the commander of the puppet army's bandit suppression corps, Li Ningyu, leader of the translation team of the puppet army's bandit suppression headquarters, Gu Xiaomeng, administrative dispatch and reception specialist of the puppet army's bandit suppression headquarters, and puppet army bandit suppression

Jin Shenghuo, Director of the Military Aircraft Department of the Corps.

The investigation period is only five days, and Takeda must use various means and even cruel torture to find the old ghost.

In short, this is a "Republic of China version of Werewolf".

Of course, as a TV series, it is impossible to tell all the main plots from the beginning.

From the shooting of the traitor to the appearance and introduction of a large number of characters, it does not feel too disorganized.

Whether it's the glamorous and arrogant Li Ningyu, the charming and clever Gu Xiaomeng, the girly Bai Xiaonian, the reckless and manic Wu Zhiguo, or the wily Jin Shenghuo.

The five people have distinct images, and the characteristics of each character are clearly displayed almost as soon as they appear.

And this happens to be the most critical point for a drama to be successful.

It's just a character, established.

...

...

Ding Zhi was concerned about the premiere of "The Wind", but he was not too worried about it.

On the one hand, he was very involved in the post-editing of "The Wind", and he generally had a good idea of ​​the quality of the finished product.

Even if it doesn't explode, it's at least on par.

On the other hand, it is because the future focus of Jiuyao Media has gradually shifted from TV series to movies.

There are many reasons for this, such as the impressive performance of this year's "The God of Medicine" and the strategic cooperation between Jiuyao Media and Bona.

Right, that's right.

In fact, in the second half of this year, the most important thing for Dingzhi and Jiuyao Culture is probably the next series of in-depth cooperation with Bona.

In fact, there has been basically no backlog of film and television works related to Yu Dingzhi, and his pending works have always been in the range of one or two.

For example, "The Beginning" at the end of last year and "Flowers of Evil" at the beginning of this year have all been paid back.

Coupled with the fact that Ding Zhi's films and TV series are very profitable, this "quick-selling" attribute allows Jiuyao Media to almost surpass most film and television production companies of the same level in the industry in terms of return rate or "recovery speed"

.

Therefore, even though Jiuyao Media seems to have a very large plate in order to develop rapidly, in fact, the funds on hand have always been sufficient.

At this time, "Intouchable", which Ding Zhi was already working on, will be put on the agenda.

This film does not require a large investment, but Ding Zhi's expectations for it are not small.

Because this is the long-lost opportunity for him and Liang Jiahui to cooperate.

While waiting for Liang Jiahui to be released, Ding Zhi's SWAG studio went through several changes, large and small, to the script of "The Untouchables" and finally made it more perfect.

After a brief period of repair, Ding Zhi flew to Hong Kong Island again.

...

...

"Hey! Ding Sheng! Hello, hello!"

At the filming site of "The King of Thieves", a guy with a fat head, big ears and narrow eyes came up to him with a smile on his face.

It is none other than Hong Kong Island's famous "King of Bad Movies" Wong Chi-hung.

Speaking of which, this person is really a weirdo. You may say that he cannot make good films, but in fact he has produced many masterpieces.

But compared with his massive amount of bad movies, it can be said to be a drop in the ocean.

But what’s even more amazing is that no matter how bad the films he makes are and how meaningless they are, Huang Zhixiong still has a way to make investors make money.

Perhaps, he just has such a magical power. Even if the audience knows that this movie is a bad movie, there will still be a lot of people walking into the theater.

"Director Huang, hello!"

When Ding Zhi came this time, he seemed to others to be somewhat "provoking an attack on the enemy". Facing Huang Zhixiong's amiable and cheerful smile, he still looked slanderous.

It seems that Huang Zhixiong is indeed a "bad guy".

Here's the thing.

Liang Jiahui once told Ding Zhi before that the filming of "The King of Thieves" should have been completed last month.

As a result, the filming has not ended yet.

After Ding Zhi learned the news, he was also confused.

After all, who is Huang Zhixiong? He is known as the king of bad movies who can finish a movie in half a month. He is not the king of sunglasses next door. How can he make a movie that lasts for ten years?

What about such a procrastinating thing?

It wasn't until Ding Zhi called and asked later that he found out that Liang Jiahui had been injured during filming.

As a result, in order to catch up with the filming, Liang Jiahui took less than a week's rest and continued to endure the pain and continued filming without stopping.

Finally it happened again, and the injury worsened...

Ding Zhi came to Hong Kong Island this time for two purposes. One was to go over the scenes and other preliminary preparations before filming "The Intouchables".

Another purpose is, of course, to see how Liang Jiahui is doing with his injury.

It's not all because of the movie "The Intouchables", but more because Liang Jiahui is indeed one of the few elders who has established a deep relationship with Ding Zhi since he came to this time and space.

"Director Wang, I'm here to visit Brother Hui. Where is Brother Hui now?"

Faced with Ding Zhi's attitude of not taking him seriously, Huang Zhixiong could tolerate it and did not show any dissatisfaction, and even tried to smile a little.

Speaking of which, with his qualifications in the film industry, even Lin Chaoxian and others have to respect him as "Brother Xiong".

But in front of Ding Zhi, he seemed to have no temper.

It has to be said that Huang Zhixiong is indeed a well-known director in Hong Kong circles.

He knows how to make money and how to be a good person. No wonder he has been standing in the circle for a long time.

He had also heard rumors that Ding Zhi and Liang Jiahui were in love as masters and disciples.

Now that Liang Jiahui was injured on his own, it was a second injury, so it was actually reasonable for Ding Zhi to lose his temper.

Of course, Ding Zhi, if it were anyone else, Huang Zhixiong would not give him such face.

Ding Zhi's position in today's Hong Kong circle is quite special.

He has a close relationship with strong backbone figures in the Hong Kong film industry such as Leung Ka-fai, Kwok Chung-cheng, Fa Ge, Lam Chiu-hsien, and Zhang Wenqiang.

You must know that these people have been in the circle for decades, and they are all people who have reached their peak. Their relationships with each other are intertwined. They are not always "big water pipes" and should not be underestimated.

Now Jiuyao Media has reached a cooperative relationship with Hong Kong giants like Bona. In addition, it is said that the Ding Zhi in front of him is also in contact with Hong Kong boss Jiang Zhiqiang.

Huang Zhixiong has been cultivating Hong Kong Island for so many years. Ding Zhi is the only young man who can do this.

Not to mention, Ding Zhi now has a box office of 4.2 billion in the mainland. As an actor, he has already entered the 10 billion club.

Therefore, Huang Zhixiong naturally has the mentality of establishing a good relationship with Ding Zhi.

He, Wong Chi-hsiung, has been floating around Hong Kong Island for decades. He was called the King of Bad Movies, but he did it with the attitude of just saying it.

Qualifications? Age? Face?

What is that?

"Brother Hui is resting inside! Ding Sheng, if you want to visit him, please come here."

Huang Zhixiong lowered his posture so low that it was hard for Ding Zhi to show his face.

To be honest, he is really a little angry now.

Liang Jiahui is already 64 this year, and he is approaching his seventies.

It's not enough to get injured once during the filming process, you have to get injured twice, who knows what will happen!

Huang Zhixiong was leading the way, and Ding Zhi followed with a frown on his face.

"Brother Hui! Look who came to visit you?"

In the crew, there was a lounge that resembled a warehouse building. Ding Zhi was worried about Liang Jiahui, who was currently feasting on a chicken leg in his hand.

When he looked up at Ding Zhi, his oily mouth was still stuffed.

Ding Zhi was dumbfounded when he saw it.

What kind of injury is this...?
