The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 275 Being Underestimated
In the hotel in Shanghai, Li Shengyao and Dong Xuan just had an in-depth exchange.

He wanted to sleep, but couldn't, so he got up and went to the desk, and then took out his notebook to write the movie script.

In order not to affect Dong Xuan's sleep, he turned on the desk lamp instead of the headlight.

Dong Xuan lay on the bed, thinking about it for a long time, came to his senses, and found that the people around him had already left, so he hurriedly looked over.

Seeing Li Shengyao sitting in front, she breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, the light of the desk lamp was just blocked by Li Shengyao, making his back look extraordinarily generous.

He occasionally stops writing, but most of the time he writes quickly, and the ballpoint pen makes a whirring sound.

Except for drinking water, he basically does not turn his eyes away, and concentrates seriously.

Dong Xuan likes serious men, Li Shengyao's state even made her a little moved.

"Snapped!"

She turned on the headlights, then sat up, turned on the TV, and watched it on a low volume.

She planned to wait for Li Shengyao, after he stopped writing, to do it again.

At this moment, she switched to the Shanghai local TV station, which was broadcasting an entertainment news.

The post-production of "My Uncle" has been completed, and it has passed the review and can be played.

The heads of the four satellite TVs in Shonan, Shanghai, Gusu, and Zhejiang participated in the screening, but in the end, the three satellite TVs in Shonan, Shanghai, and Gusu did not bid. Zhejiang Satellite TV won it at a price of 20 yuan per episode and 500 million The right to broadcast the show for the first time.

News Analysis Although Lee Seung Yew's previous dramas had very high ratings, the overall atmosphere of this one is obviously too gloomy, making viewers feel uncomfortable.

This made Gusu Satellite TV doubt for the first time whether the drama directed by Li Shengyao could get good ratings, so they stopped at the last moment.

In addition, this year's summer has fierce competition, "A Family with Children", "Detective Di Renjie", "Li Wei as an Official 2", "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", "The Sky of History", "Legend of the Mirror" and other new dramas are broadcasting one after another. In the end, only Zhejiang Satellite TV bid and exclusively bought the right to broadcast the first round of "My Uncle".

The price of 20 an episode is still high in the mainland.

At the end of the news, they were wondering whether Zhejiang Satellite TV would be able to get back their money, and the higher-ups bought the show more likely to show their favor to Fenghua.

Dong Xuan looked at it, and couldn't help but look at Li Shengyao. Seeing that he was still writing the script, he thought he didn't see it, so he felt relieved.

She then switched to the channel, and soon found that several other TV stations had broadcast similar news, and there were actually many people who were not optimistic about this drama.

She couldn't help being a little angry. In her opinion, Li Shengyao's previous dramas were all top-notch.

If it weren't for the mainland's dislike of romantic dramas, Li Shengyao would have won the best director a long time ago.

This "My Uncle" hasn't been broadcast yet, and these people draw conclusions, which is very ridiculous.

This "My Uncle" also invited Liang Jiahui, Zhang Zhijian, and He Zhengjun. Although these people have average appeal, they are all capable, which shows the quality of this drama.

She felt that those news writers had little knowledge.

In order not to affect Li Shengyao, she then turned off the TV, then got up, and turned on the computer. She wanted to see what netizens thought.

After 10 minutes, Dong Xuan turned off the computer, which made her a little disappointed, although some fans said that no matter what Director Li filmed, they would watch it.

But more melon-eating netizens, they added insult to injury, saying that Lee Seung Yew's record of high ratings was about to be interrupted, and this drama must be very sad to have a rating of three points.

"It's a bunch of people who don't know much."

Netizens were not optimistic, which made her lose interest, and she went to bed afterwards, but thinking about it made her unable to fall asleep for a long time.

After about an hour, Li Shengyao turned off the lamp, and then climbed into bed.

"What are you doing around here, why don't you go to bed early? Wait for me?"

Dong Xuan shook his head, she didn't want to share bad information with Li Shengyao, so she didn't speak.

"Did you see the bad news about "My Uncle"?"

Li Shengyao is not deaf. He just heard the news. In fact, not only Dong Xuan, but also Yan Danchen and Li Xiaolan called him before. They all told him about this, and they wanted to comfort him.

He didn't take it to heart.

This script is meant for awards, and the ratings don't matter.

"My Uncle" is indeed too sad. If the ratings are not good, it is actually quite normal.

Li Shengyao then touched it and rubbed it vigorously.

Dong Xuan was happy to cooperate, seeing that Li Shengyao didn't care, he told the news just now, and finally said: "They are all blind."

Li Shengyao thought it was very interesting to let the always gentle Dong Xuan talk like this.

"Don't worry, it's fine to be normal. Without a victorious general, even if the ratings are not good, that's normal."

He then followed up.

An hour later, Dong Xuan fell asleep satisfied. Li Shengyao hugged the beauty, but he didn't feel sleepy.

Even though he told Dong Xuan not to worry, even though he knew that the ratings of "My Uncle" might not be too high, even though he told himself to be normal.

But right now he was a little nervous.

This is his last TV series, and he naturally hopes for good results.

Not only can it win awards, but the ratings must also be decent.

Peninsula broadcasted it in 2018. At that time, smartphones were very popular, short videos had begun to develop, and the ratings of TV stations were getting lower and lower.

"My Uncle" has an average rating of [-] points in the peninsula, which is actually not bad, at an upper-middle level.

This drama is indeed rather mournful, the experience of the male and female protagonists is very bad, the other characters, the male protagonist's elder brother and younger brother, and everyone in their community, almost everyone has their own sad things.

The hero's wife cheated, and she was also very entangled.

It can be said that except for the villain who seems to be heartless, he just wants to mess with women.

The other characters have things they don't want to face.

But while life is difficult, the people in the hero's community all have a tenacious heart, looking for light in the shadows.

This drama does look sad, but if you watch it, you can see a lot of positive things.

In 2018, the birth rate of the peninsula was only [-]. At that time, many young people were unmarried and infertile, and they were completely ruined.

Even facing the sun and expressing positive emotions, there is no interest.

But the mainland in 2004 was different. The mainland was still developing at a high speed, and the overall atmosphere was positive and full of hope.

Everyone is naturally tired, but they will not show up.

In terms of social enthusiasm, the mainland in 2004 far surpassed the peninsula in 2018.

Li Shengyao analyzed that he felt that "My Uncle" is actually more suitable for mainland audiences, and it is easier for mainland audiences to see the positive side of the show.

"Maybe the ratings will be better than expected."

Li Shengyao comforted himself, and then fell asleep. He wanted to go to bed early to prepare the script for the first movie.
