Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1577 Newcomer, New Atmosphere

Recently, Dongshi's new drama "The Neighbors in the Street" has begun to attract the attention of the audience.

This drama is co-written by Wen Jun, Zheng Danrui, and Liu Zhenwei, but the director of this drama is not fixed, and will be replaced every few episodes.

The reason why this drama attracted everyone's attention was not because they hadn't seen this kind of sitcom, but because the acting style in it was different from the previous TV series.

Although the ratings were not high, after reaching [-] o'clock at the start of the broadcast, it slowly fell back to only ten o'clock.

But because most of this drama is related to newcomers, Dongshi is already very satisfied with the ratings, and it must be known that it will be broadcast in the afternoon or near the evening.

For Lin Daoqiu, this "Neighborhood in the Street" is an experimental product for him as a nonsensical comedy.

As long as the ratings don't drop to the point where it's impossible to watch, he intends to make at least a few hundred episodes of this drama.

On this day, Lin Daoqiu took the time to come to Dongshi, intending to chat with Huang Xizhao and the others about Dongshi's future production issues.

Just like before, Lin Daoqiu had just got off the car. Huang Xizhao and Zeng Lizhen stood at the door on the left and on the right, followed by a large group of staff.

Lin Daoqiu didn't like this kind of ostentation from the very beginning, but they still couldn't change it after talking to Huang Xizhao several times, and he didn't bother to say it in the end.

"How is the performance of "Neighborhood" recently?"

As soon as Lin Daoqiu walked in front of Huang Xizhao, he asked about the situation of "The Neighborhood in the Street".

For this drama, Huang Xizhao can be said to be very concerned, after all, this is a TV series planned by Lin Daoqiu.

Although there is no way to compare the ratings of the previous TV series filmed by Lin Daoqiu, "The Neighbors in the Street" is still qualified in terms of ratings.

And there are no big-name actors in this drama, most of them are supporting roles and newcomers.

Except for the occasional guest appearance of a big TV star in one or two episodes, most of the plots are still dominated by these supporting actors and newcomers.

""The Neighborhood" performed very well in terms of ratings. Judging from the staffing of this drama, it has already exceeded our original expectations."

Although Huang Xizhao thinks there is still room for improvement in this drama, or if he replaces a few characters and casts popular stars, he will definitely get better ratings.

However, Lin Daoqiu had already decided on the casting of this movie and the casting had already been finalized, and Huang Xizhao would not say things that made him unhappy in front of Lin Daoqiu.

"That's good. Before the big stars became famous, they started from small roles, and these newcomers don't think they are still unknown, but I believe that their achievements in the future will definitely not stop there."

Huang Xizhao knew that Lin Daoqiu seemed to be particularly optimistic about Stephen Chow, and he even heard rumors that Lin Daoqiu even made a special trip to arrange a scene for Stephen Chow to explain the effect he wanted to achieve.

You must know that before this, whether it was Li's or Dongshi before, or even Dongshi now, apart from Zhou Xingchi, Huang Xizhao had never seen Lin Daoqiu pay special attention to any new actor.

After leading a large group of people to the conference room, Lin Daoqiu found that Wen Jun, Zheng Danrui and Liu Zhenwei were already waiting for him inside.

Recently, Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui are busy filming "The Neighbors in the Street" while they are also in charge of the script of "The Return of the Great Sage". It can be said that they are under a lot of pressure.

One of Lin Daoqiu's ideas for coming to Dongshi today was to transfer Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui from the TV station to be responsible for the screenwriting work of "The Return of the Great Sage".

As for "Neighborhood", he intends to let Liu Zhenwei and other screenwriters of the TV station take more responsibility.

Although Liu Zhenwei also participated in the screenwriting of "The Return of the Great Sage", Lin Daoqiu knew that this guy's abilities were not limited to this, and he had to be burdened.

""The Neighbors in the Street" has been on the air for a while, and I feel that the screenwriting work is on track, so I plan to transfer Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui to take charge of the screenwriting work of another drama, and "The Neighborhood" will be in charge of Liu Zhenwei."

Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui had never heard Lin Daoqiu mention this matter before, so when they heard what Lin Daoqiu said, their faces showed surprise expressions.

At the same time, Liu Zhenwei was also frightened. He has only been in Dongshi for only half a year.

At the beginning, Liu Zhenwei kept his attitude very low, following Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui with a learning attitude in compiling "The Neighbors in the Street".

But later his talent in screenwriting gradually emerged, which is why Lin Daoqiu put more burden on him this time.

But before Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui could speak, Liu Zhenwei spoke first.

"Mr. Lin, I'm afraid I can't be in charge of the play "The Neighbors in the Street" by myself. Do you think it's time for someone else? I'm not very knowledgeable. If something goes wrong, I'm afraid I won't be able to take the responsibility."

Although Liu Zhenwei also thought that one day he could be in charge of the production of a TV series or movie by himself, but this opportunity came so quickly, he felt very worried.

You must know that the screenwriter of "The Neighbors in the Street" is not just responsible for the screenwriting, because this play Lin Daoqiu requires a type of innovative comedy.

So when writing the script, they have to structure the story of each paragraph or episode according to the characteristics of each character, which is not an easy task.

"What do you two think?"

Lin Daoqiu did not refuse or agree to Liu Zhenwei's request. Instead, he turned to Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui, wanting to hear what they thought.

"Brother Qiu, I think Zhen Wei's ability is enough to handle the screenwriting work of "The Neighbors in the Street". Judging from the time we have been with him for more than half a year, he is definitely a very good screenwriter."

Wen Jun didn't want to easily blow Liu Zhenwei in front of Lin Daoqiu, but when he was working with him, he really felt Liu Zhenwei's talent in screenwriting.

Especially in this kind of nonsensical comedy, Liu Zhenwei seems to be able to come up with better and better ideas one step ahead of them.

"No, no, Brother Juan Ge Rui, please forgive me, I really can't do it."

Liu Zhenwei shook his hands repeatedly in fright.

"Okay, since Ah Jun and the others are so optimistic about you, you should take this job, and you don't have to worry, the other screenwriters in the TV station will help you at that time, and no one person is in charge of the whole show. .”

Lin Daoqiu was not so cruel, and let Liu Zhenwei be in charge of hundreds of episodes of TV series alone.

Otherwise, when the whole film is finished, there may not be a few hairs left on Liu Zhenwei's head.
