January 1, New Year's Day.
While Wei Lan was continuing the post-production of the film, "Swords and Swords 5", which was highly anticipated by Morningstar, was completed and officially released.
This time it is still three episodes, and the old production team is used. Li Feng, Yan Xun, and He Zixuan play the leading and supporting roles. The slogan is "Lu Anning is back, and the iron triangle is reunited."
This time, as a sequel to the popular drama, the treatment is not as bad as when Wei Lan took over "Swords and Swords 4". As soon as it was released, it was placed on the largest banner page of the central government for promotion.
The production cost of "Swords and Swords 5" is two million per episode, and the production cycle is more than two months. It is not an exaggeration to say that the investment level is an online movie. Director Peng Haobo is a senior A-signed director of Wei's company. He is good at urban emotions and suspense dramas. "Shadow Chase", which was launched at the same time as "Swords and Swords 4", is his work.
Taking over this drama, director Peng Haobo was holding his breath.
The works of the same period were completely crushed by a new director, and now he is taking over the sequel. He is determined to shoot his own style and characteristics. Isn't it just some funny and martial arts? It caters to the market. However, after the release, the real feedback slapped Peng Haobo and his shareholders such as Zhou Wei behind him. The production cycle of TV series is faster than that of movies. As a phenomenal work, "Sword 4" has not yet dissipated. The audience will still be interested when they see the name. Taking advantage of this heat, coupled with the promotion of the channel, the number of on-demand views of the first episode of "Sword 5" is very impressive, and it is indeed the first in the ranking. However, in contrast to the considerable on-demand number of the first episode, the subscription rate is very ugly, and it does not even exceed the second work of the same period. There is no good comment from the audience who paid for subscription: "It doesn't seem to be too attractive at present. I bought it for the excitement of the previous one. I hope there will be a reversal later. "It's not so funny now. He Zixuan's appearance keeps me going. ’
‘I didn’t feel this way in the last episode. In this episode, Lu Anning is a bit greasy. He didn’t settle his family down, and was threatened by the villain. It’s too miserable for the hero’s family! ’
Zhou Wei and others barely managed to calm down and said they would wait and see. As a result, they waited until the end of the third episode was played, and the comment area exploded.
Compared with the high score of 4.8 stars in the channel rating of "Sword 4" with a full score of 5 stars, "Sword 5" scored 3.8 stars, which made the channel remove it from the first recommendation.
‘Why should I pay to subscribe...’
‘It’s okay to add suspense elements, but why are the villains without horns collectively reduced in intelligence? ’
‘The funny jokes are very stiff, and they don’t have the flavor of the last episode. ’
At first, Wei’s publicity department planned to see whether it was necessary to buy hot searches based on the popularity of the topic. As a result, there were no good reviews. The popularity was there, but it was just a flash in the pan when it was first released, and soon fell out of the top 100 because there was no positive discussion.
In this case, it is meaningless to buy it. Just two months ago, the previous one was directly popular on the hot search, and Wei's publicity department did not spend a penny.
Zhou Wei's office was already filled with second-hand smoke. He sat on the sofa with a heavy expression and looked at Peng Haobo.
"Why is this happening? Didn't you tell me that there was no topic before you took the show?"
Peng Haobo rubbed his hair: "I thought there was no topic before!"
"Then what was the problem?!" Zhou Wei slammed the table heavily.
Fortunately, the new director ran to make a movie. If she hadn't asked to make a movie at that time, he would have struggled to squeeze her out of "Swordsman V". Now that it has suffered a disastrous ratings, it is estimated that he will have to keep his tail between his legs in the company for a long time.
Even so, Zhou Wei decided not to express any opinions during the meeting during this period.
...
Director machine, holographic world.
Yang Xingyuan wore a shabby cotton coat and stood in the night wind, looking at the hillside in the distance, and looking back from time to time to observe Zhou.
At this time, voices were heard from afar, and a group of village men holding torches ran over quickly.
Yang Xingyuan took an old-fashioned flashlight with dim light and shone it around, shouting: "Da Huang, Da Huang..."
Seeing a group of people coming from afar, he stopped and greeted a group of men with a surprised look: "What's going on?"
The leading man also looked to be in his thirties, tall, with an anxious and angry face. He looked Yang Xingyuan up and down and asked suspiciously: "Why are you here in the middle of the night?"
Yang Xingyuan's hand holding the flashlight trembled slightly, his face remained calm, and he looked at them strangely: "I'm looking for a dog here. My guard dog Da Huang ran away. What are you doing?"
The slightly more mature man next to him remembered his identity and forced a smile: "Teacher Kong, the dogs in the village know the way. Everyone knows that it's your dog, so they shouldn't kill it. It's late at night and the weather is cold. You go back to sleep and wait. It should be back the next day."
Yang Xingyuan hesitated and looked at the sky around him. There seemed to be a few sounds of dogs barking or wolves howling in the distance.
He adjusted his glasses, which were a little yellow, in shock: "Okay."
Just as he was about to say that, he took only two steps when the leading man suddenly thought of something: "Wait!"
Wei Lan pushed his view to Yang Xingyuan's corner.
He trembled as if in shock, stopped, and slowly turned his head. His expression was calm, but his eyebrows were trembling slightly: "What's wrong?"
"Have you seen a woman around here?"
The man approached him.
"Woman?" Yang Xingyuan pushed his glasses and chuckled casually, "Where can there be any woman here?"
Wei Lan used the light from the torch to illuminate a drop of sweat on Yang Xingyuan's forehead from the side.
As the man approached, Yang Xingyuan's breathing gradually became rapid.
The man's hand suddenly raised, and Yang Xingyuan stood still, his body visibly stiff, and even his pupils dilated a little.
"Pah!" The man's hand was placed on Yang Xingyuan's shoulder, causing his shoulder to shrug: "Mr. Kong, my wife ran away, and you have to find a dog anyway, why don't you go with us?"
"Cut!"
As this cold female voice sounded, the actors on the scene exhaled and dispersed with laughter.
Yang Xingyuan was still standing there, wiping the sweat from his forehead, thinking about his performance, and then said to the air: "Director Wei, is this okay? Do you want to do it again?"
The other actors who were not far away heard his words and became nervous.
This section has been shot once. Wei Lan was not satisfied twice, and there was nothing to refute when everyone reshot it. There were also two other times when Yang Xingyuan asked for another shot because he felt that he did not perform well.
Although there are a lot of things to do, this actor who climbed up from the bottom is also very good at dealing with people. Every time he was filming outside, he would take out some melon seeds and drinks to treat the actors who were in the same scene with him that day. Although it was not worth much money, as the saying goes, you don't hit a smiling person, and you are soft-hearted when you eat someone's food, so no one said anything more.
"This time is very good."
The little panda representing Wei Lan appeared in front of Yang Xingyuan.
Yang Xingyuan showed some relaxation. It was his first time filming, and he was afraid that he would not act well enough and would not be worthy of the director's kindness. He had been demanding himself during this period.
Wei Lan saw what Yang Xingyuan was thinking and said to him affirmatively: "You acted very well, you will be famous, and there will be many dramas for you in the future."
Such a hardworking and talented actor is hard to come by. Wei Lan admired him very much and hoped to maintain the follow-up cooperation.
"Thank you for your good words." Yang Xingyuan smiled after hearing this. Thinking of his appearance, he did not have any high expectations. He just thought that after this play, he should be able to get a regular supporting role and become a regular actor, not an extra who has half a foot in the ranks of actors.
Yang Xingyuan has many important plays that require acting skills, but with the other party's hard work, he can always meet the requirements after several times, and sometimes even with inspiration, he will produce amazing results.
If Yang Xingyuan is the study committee member who doesn't need 'teacher' Wei Lan to worry about, then Su Yining is obviously the one who makes Wei Lan worry about the problem.
Not to mention, the point is that he is very dedicated and hardworking. He can recite the lines according to Wei Lan's requirements, and he is very serious when acting. He is not at all squeamish and arrogant as the marketing accounts complain about - of course, in Su Yining's eyes, accepting interviews is not his job as an actor...
In the neat and futuristic laboratory, in addition to Su Yining, there are a bunch of scientific researchers in white coats.
"Cut, the eyes here are still not good, not cold enough."
This time, Wei Lan's panda incarnation appeared and floated in front of Su Yining.
Wei Lan usually lets his voice ring in the ears of the actors when explaining the play, and only when the performance problem is very big will he appear in a panda vest.
Seeing this, the others automatically stepped aside and let the director explain the play to the female role.
Su Yining saw Wei Lan appeared, and looked very aggrieved: "I just thought he was looking at my ex-boyfriend!"
"My ex-boyfriend is just one person in my heart!"
The 'he' that Su Yining mentioned was He Zixuan, who played a young scientist in the movie. He pinched his nose innocently when he heard this, and dared not speak.
Wei Lan looked at Su Yining's expression and said that she had tried her best, but people's expressions are sometimes not the same as they imagine. Many actors practice various expressions in front of the mirror every day to improve their acting skills.
If it was Yang Xingyuan who loved to think about the role, he would definitely be able to study several expressions for Wei Lan to choose from, but it would not work for Su Yining, because she had no idea what kind of expression Wei Lan wanted.
But Wei Lan must achieve this effect.
The male role was done very well, but he couldn't collapse here with the female role.
Wei Lan thought of a way, and suddenly an idea came to him--'System, how many points does it cost to check Su Yining's most indifferent mood in her life? ’
System: ‘50 points are needed, do you want to check? ’
Wei Lan’s thoughts drifted: It seems that the favorability points I have earned from Su Yining during this period of time are 50, right?
‘Check. ’
‘Ding Dong! Deduction successful! ’
A picture unfolded in Wei Lan’s mind.
That was Su Yining, who might be 10** years old, looking at a place with an extremely calm and indifferent expression. This expression appeared on her delicate and beautiful face, and even made people feel a little inexplicable fear.
Wei Lan followed Su Yining’s line of sight and looked over...
After a few seconds, Wei Lan’s voice rang out: "Ningning."
Su Yining in front of him lowered his mouth: "Hmm?"
The red panda looked at her, his black eyes could not reveal his specific expression, only the female voice that came out was still cold and had the magic of calming people down: "Let's do it again, this time you listen to me."
"Okay."
After repositioning, Wei Lan's voice sounded in Su Yining's ears: "Imagine..."
"You pass by a large supermarket, and the machine inside is killing fish. Throw the fish into the machine, and then take it out to remove the fish scales."
Su Yining blinked, imagined the scene, and set his sights on He Zixuan...
He Zixuan met her eyes, his body trembled, and goose bumps floated from the back of his neck.
"Click! Perfect!"
