Golden Age 1990

Chapter 21 Chinese sitcom starts broadcasting!
The National Day is over, and the Asian Games are also over.

This is certainly a very successful event. Our athletes have achieved excellent results, which is indeed very inspiring.

After the Asian Games ended, the capital returned to its normal state.

Those who should go to work go to work, and those who should go for a walk.

But in our Haima Song and Dance Hall, the atmosphere is very different.

The filming of the sitcom "Haima Cabaret" is in full swing.

This sitcom is different from ordinary TV dramas. The entire Haima Dance Hall is like a stage, with actors performing on top and an audience below.

Of course, there is also a director's table with a camera and a photographer next to it. If there is a problem with the filming, the director will use a loudspeaker to shout to stop, then give a speech, and then continue the performance.

The audience is the real audience, and it costs 5 yuan a piece to the outside world, saying that they can watch Ge You.

When the comedy reaches the stage of bursting, the laughter is also real.

The screenwriter of our play is a celebrity in the circle, and the actors also have stars, so it's the director... Basically, Bai Feng is making a guest appearance.

There is no way, it is too hasty, and it is too late to find a famous director.

Moreover, this sitcom is very novel.

When our filming model was created, Liang Tian, ​​Ge You and 'Lu Su' looked at it this way.

never seen it!
So, of course, everyone focused their attention on Bai Feng.

The guy didn't realize it at the time, but he asked.

"Isn't ours the first sitcom in China?"

His performance naturally made everyone laugh, but it also attracted teacher Liang Zuo's affirmation.

"That's right! What we are filming now is China's first sitcom!"

When everyone heard it, they were happy and applauded.

This is all about the day the filming started, and everyone's spirits are very high.

In fact, Mr. Liang has seen this model of sitcom in the United States, but he is not sure that no one has done it in our country before.

After some verification, we discovered that what we were working on was indeed the first one.

But since this is the first one, doesn’t it mean that no one has experience with it?

It was you, Bai Feng, who proposed this sitcom. We still lack a director, so you can be the one temporarily.

Bai Feng was kicked out of the shelves just like that.

In fact, he, the director, was really just pretending, with Mr. Liang sitting next to him, Ma Weidu immediately asked for leave, and went back after filming.

And our big-name actors, Ge You and Liang Tian also come to sit when they are not playing.

Bai Feng is an amateur at directing plays, so this guy simply lays flat, rarely shouting stop or cut.

It was nothing at first, but after more and more scenes, everyone realized that the director must have fallen asleep, right?

Naturally, someone asked, is there nothing wrong with our play?
Bai Feng's answer showed his high emotional intelligence.

"There is no fault at all. This is of course impossible. However, this is not a sitcom. It is not bad to have flaws. It can increase the sense of reality. Therefore, as a director, I believe that as long as the problem is not major, we can continue filming."

Needless to say, there is indeed something in what he said.

Teacher Liang agreed very much. He had actually inspected American sitcoms before and he liked this format very much.

You can shoot and broadcast at the same time to highlight a reality.

The laughter of the live audience will make the TV audience feel immersive.

Moreover, as far as a scene is concerned, the camera position is fixed, which means no camera skills are required.

And in terms of storytelling, it is basically straightforward, with very few interludes or flashbacks.

This hardly requires the director to have directing skills.

So, our director Bai laid down confidently.

Today, "Hippocampus Song and Dance Hall" has completed the ten episodes agreed with the TV station, and sent it over, and also did a simple post-production, adding some subtitles and adding music.

Now their crew is continuing to shoot, and the TV station will do a trial broadcast to see how it works.

Lie flat director Bai Feng, he now...

"Hey!"

"what?"

Someone had a problem with his lying down, and this person was naturally Yu Feihong.

"Tell me, can our play work?"

"Then how can it not work? Have some confidence in yourself."

"Hey, I'm talking about Lao Bai, where did you get the confidence?"

"I said Lao Yu, we are filming, you have to call me Director Bai."

"Come on you!"

For our sitcom "Seahorse Song and Dance Hall", it didn't take many days to film [-] episodes under such a flat-out directing by Director Bai.

And in this short period of time, Bai Feng gained a 'buddy'.

Yes, it is Yu Feihong.

Maybe it's because Yu Feihong thinks Bai Feng is a big boss in women's clothing, so he doesn't know anything about this guy.

It's in the same crew again, everyone discusses, eats and so on, and everyone gets to know each other well.

If you call me Lao Bai, I'll call you Lao Yu. Anyway, Bai Feng won't suffer.

Yu Feihong didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but it was quite easy to say.

Bai Feng was quite helpless, he emphasized more than once that he was a pure man.

It's a pity that Yu Feihong nodded every time he heard it, but then it was the same as before.

Bai Feng has no idea. Let's just be friends.

"Old Bai, actually, I have always wanted to ask you a question."

"You ask."

"Well... tell me, how do you make money from this show?"

Yu Feihong looked at Bai Feng with a sincere look.

"Old Yu, is this your brother You asked you to ask?"

Bai Feng saw through her instantly.

"I also want to ask myself!" Yu Feihong was very embarrassed, but this is not a lie.

Fang Fang, who plays this time, is Mengzi's younger sister and Zhang Ziqiu's good sister in terms of role setting, and has a certain relationship with the manager Ma Sida.

Since there are a lot of rivalries, of course we have to have a good chat.

As the saying goes: Grass does not grow on busy roads, and hair does not grow on smart heads.

Ge You likes to explore why, he thought for a long time but couldn't figure out how Bai Feng made money from this drama.

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Yu Feihong also became curious.

Since you and Lao Bai are both friends, then your friend's business is your own business.

How on earth is he going to make money from this show?

Yu Feihong also wanted to find out, so I asked.

"Just say it."

Seeing her like this, Bai Feng felt that if he spoke directly, he would lose a lot of fun.

"The mountain man has his own plan."

This guy's attitude of not saying anything even if he beat me to death really made Yu Feihong's fist harden.

"Can you tell me?"

"Just don't say it."

"you……"

The director was having a weird interaction with the main character, and Ma Weidu was back.

"Everyone stop!"

What's the matter?

"Our drama will be piloted today!"

Boy, so fast.

……

The crew of "Haima Cabaret" can stop for a moment today.

Everyone sat in front of a TV, ate melon seeds and drank soda, and waited for the broadcast to start.

We are also spectators, watching our own plays.

For the trial broadcast, let's give ourselves a score first.

Of course, 'Lu Su', Liu Peiqi, and Brother Qian'er were also notified.

Anyone who can come will come anyway, let's all have a look together.

Bai Feng was also among them, but his expectations were different from others.

He really doesn't worry about the quality of this drama. What he really wants to see is the ratings!
In this year, the statistics of our country's ratings are still not very good.

The ratings survey is being conducted, but it is conducted by CCTV itself, and it is rather strange.

The first investigation was conducted by CCTV in 86. It was a nationwide spot check.

After this random inspection, it was also stipulated that random inspections should be carried out every five years.

Obviously, this kind of ratings survey is quite abstract.

It obviously does not meet the requirements of the current era, so some TV stations will conduct their own investigations.

The current ratings survey is also very simple. It just randomly checks a certain sample, finds some families, sends cards, and asks them to fill them out.

Many people have already seen its value in viewership ratings.

Simply put, ratings equal money.

The higher the ratings, the better the advertisement will sell.

But the current data can only be processed in this way, after all, the technical means are limited.

Therefore, for many popular dramas of this era, we all know that they are indeed very popular, but in fact there is no real ratings data.

This time we are conducting a trial broadcast on Beijing Channel, and the ratings data will be available in about two or three days.

What Bai Feng really cares about is actually two or three days later.

Now let’s watch the show with everyone.

Not long after, here it comes!

"Our "Seahorse Song and Dance Hall" is about to start!"

Ma Weidu was very happy, his eyes almost disappeared from the smile.

And this time...

"China's first sitcom is coming!"

Good guy, it's not broadcast yet, so let's start with this paragraph.

Everyone looked weird.

That's right, this was added by Bai Feng, and this is our own advertisement for this drama!

Fortunately, the feature film will start soon.

As soon as Mengzi's words about remarrying immediately appeared, the runaway bride who was soaked by the rain appeared.

Although everyone was watching their own show, they were still laughing.

……

"What do you think?"

"I feel good!"

"Yeah, it's funny!"

"It's really amazing to watch my own play."

"It's very fun! I think this drama can be successful!"

After the two episodes were broadcast, the crew members of "Seahorse Song and Dance Hall" rated themselves, which was quite self-indulgent.

But there's nothing wrong with it. Even from Teacher Liang's point of view, this drama is quite successful.

There are a lot of laughs, and there is nothing too embarrassing, and there are also turning points.

'Lu Su', Brother Qian'er, and Liu Peiqi also thought it was good.

However, everyone soon discovered that there were few people.

What about our white director?
……

Yu Feihong has been staring at Lao Bai. She particularly wants to know how this guy makes money.

Before the show was over, Lao Bai slipped away.

Yu Feihong followed quietly.

I saw Lao Bai find a public phone booth and then made a call.

He is quite mysterious!

Who on earth was he calling?

Yu Feihong walked over quietly like a female spy, and then heard him say...

"Brother Wang, the trial broadcast went well."

"The ratings will be available in about three days."

"Brother Wang, what did I tell you before? Break out of Asia and go global, right? I don't believe that Xuechao Beer has no intention of targeting the Beijing market."

"Yes, I guarantee that this drama will get more than 30% of the ratings on Beijing TV! Moreover, I can also guarantee that the second round of airing will definitely be on CCTV!"

"20 yuan can fill our Haima Dance Hall with Xuezhu beer!"

"Okay, I'll put up a big sign for you again, with a big snow beer on it!"

When Yu Feihong heard this, she figured it out.

It turns out that this is how Bai Feng makes money.

But Yu Feihong still didn't know that Bai Feng was going to get a sheep to pull the wool hard.
