I turned out to be top-notch!

Chapter 186
"Cut it off?"

When Wei Ming, the leader of the post-editing team, saw the message from the director, his mind went blank for a moment.

It took a moment to realize what the other party was saying. He had just watched the entire show live, and was also deeply shocked by Wu Xuefei's speech when she finally revealed her face.

It was even difficult for him to accept it for a while, because before that, in his eyes, the name Zhou Dingran was just a popular singer who only knew how to hype. This person became famous only because of the people in the program "National Idol" who set up Well, except for that face, I have no talent at all.

But now, a popular singer who even he looked down on has become a senior singer admired by countless people, and his ability is even more ridiculous.

Wei Ming only felt that there were cracks in his three views, but he actually didn't quite believe Wu Xuefei's guess.

But now, a message from director Zuo Qiuliang shocked him in his heart, and he felt that the world view was undergoing a prosperous change.

Damn it, is it possible that Senior Fathead Fish is really Zhou Dingran?
Otherwise, why would the director be so anxious?
He was shocked in his heart, and finally picked up the phone and replied: "Director Zuo, you must not do it. The three hundred spectators at the scene witnessed Wu Xuefei's speech. In fact, including me, I didn't really believe Wu Xuefei's words. After all, those words The speech was so subversive. It was an answer that no one had ever imagined. I personally don’t think it is worthy of belief. But if you, the director, edit out this paragraph, wouldn’t it mean that there is no silver 300 tael here? No. Is it self-inflicted?"

"My suggestion is to edit at a normal pace, and if possible, even put Wu Xuefei's words in the trailer. What do you think?"

Not long after this message was posted, Zuo Qiuliang sent a reply: "Yes, but don't put Wu Xuefei's words in the trailer. Just edit it at a normal pace."

After reading Wei Ming's reply, Zuo Qiuliang realized that something was wrong. Although the [-] live audience members were prohibited from revealing the content of the program before it was broadcast, they could not prevent someone from breaking the news.

Under normal circumstances, live audiences will abide by confidentiality agreements before the broadcast.

But if when the program is broadcast, it is suddenly discovered that Wu Xuefei's speculation has been edited out, it will indeed be suspected of being self-inflicted, and there will definitely be viewers who can't help but reveal the news.

And if things proceed at a normal pace, even if Wu Xuefei's guess that Fat-headed Fish's true identity is Zhou Dingran spreads widely, as long as Zhou Dingran himself doesn't admit it and Fat-headed Fish doesn't reveal his identity, everything will indeed remain a mystery.

"Calm down, I can actually be influenced by a player."

Zuo Qiuliang breathed a sigh of relief, but when he saw a message that appeared on the Weibo hot search list on his phone, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

No. 6 on Weibo's hot search list is the news that Zhou Dingran and Huang Boran will participate in "Chinese Singer-Songwriter" at the same time. This news caused an explosion of heat as soon as it came out, because Zhou Dingran and Huang Boran are both very popular recently. The traffic idol, who is also a former and current member of the Miracle Boys, now appears on the same competitive stage at the same time, which is indeed eye-catching.

Although the outcome of this competition is still uncertain, Zuo Qiuliang firmly believes that Zhou Dingran will win.

"'The Masked Singer' will end in three episodes, so it seems like we need to prepare some action in advance."

Zuo Qiuliang pondered for a while, then called the deputy director Wang Xiu, "Come to the conference room to discuss something."

Wang Xiu soon appeared in front of Zuo Qiuliang, "Director Zuo, are you looking for me?"

In the conference room, Zuo Qiuliang was writing in a notebook and said without raising his head: "Did you see today's hot searches?"

"What hot search?" Wang Xiu was stunned. She had been busy all day, and now she didn't even have time to eat dinner. How could she have time to look at the hot search? After hearing this, she immediately took out her phone to browse, and soon she looked up in surprise. : "I just found out too."

"Zhou Dingran never mentioned this to you?" Zuo Qiuliang asked.

"No, I usually don't ask about his personal affairs."

Wang Xiu couldn't help but ask: "Director Zuo, what do you think?"

"Zhou Dingran is now participating in a program at Xiangnan Satellite TV. Logically speaking, we shouldn't be so lenient, but you should know how popular he is in our program. The ratings of the last episode of the program were 5.4%, which is unparalleled in the industry. The mountain is small.”

Zuo Qiu Liang said: "There are still three episodes left before the end of the show, which means there is only less than a month left. If Zhou Dingran wins the championship all the way on our show, then his popularity will definitely rise to the next level. He will be ranked fifth in the show. After the second season of "The Masked Singer" ends, if Zhou Dingran goes to other satellite TV platforms to record programs, it will definitely be a big disaster for Zhejiang TV."

"This afternoon, Director Wang of the channel specifically came to talk to me. What Director Wang meant was that the good news should not go to outsiders. After this season's program is over, Zhou Dingran will be asked to record a few episodes of other programs on the channel. In a word, the traffic cannot If you run out, it will be cheaper for you and your family."

"I'll leave this matter to you. You are the person most familiar with Zhou Dingran in our station. It would be more appropriate for you to speak out about this matter."

When Wang Xiu heard this, his face fell, and he smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, I'm not very familiar with Zhou Dingran... That's cool. I'll give it a try. It's getting late now. I'll contact Zhou Dingran tomorrow."

"Well, work hard. If our program can achieve the ratings it did that day, as the deputy director of the program, you have done a great job. When the dividends are paid out, your bonus will definitely be indispensable."

Zuo Qiuliang encouraged.

Wang Xiu nodded, and before leaving, he couldn't help but say: "I would like to ask, can all programs on our station be included?"

Zuo Qiuliang smiled and said, "That's natural. Director Wang personally spoke. He can be a regular guest on "Let's Run"."

Wang Xiu was relieved after hearing this.

If he can even win the role of a regular guest on "Let's Run Together", then the channel really pays enough attention to Zhou Dingran.

In fact, Zhejiang TV has many variety shows, which are top national programs, such as "Super Ace" and "Let's Run Together" and so on.

There are not only indoor and outdoor game interactive variety shows, but also pure music variety shows such as "The Chosen Voice" and "The King of Masked Singer".

Each program is ranked first in the industry, with ratings usually above 2%. Even many first-tier artists have to queue up if they want to record these programs.

And with Zuo Qiuliang's guarantee, Wang Xiu also had the confidence to tell Zhou Dingran about it.

After all, the ratings of each of these programs are more than double that of "Chinese Singer-Songwriter". If the sincerity is sufficient, Zhou Dingran will not refuse.

the other side.After the recording of the program ended, Zhou Dingran took the high-speed rail back to Peiping and opened a hotel to stay.

In the next few days, in addition to hosting a live broadcast, he will make preparations for going to Hengdian.

I originally thought I could relax for a while, but I didn't expect that early the next morning, before I woke up, I received a call from Lu Tao, saying that he wanted Zhou Dingran to cooperate in promoting the new drama "Fireworks on Earth".

This drama will be officially launched on Zhejiang Satellite TV at [-]pm in two weeks.

Zhou Dingran was shocked. He didn't expect that this crappy show would be aired during the prime time period.

However, the bad drama in his eyes is actually a very popular urban workplace drama. At least judging from the current promotional materials, this is a workplace medical drama full of fighting spirit.

Of course, the core is still inescapable from the soap opera mode.

"I never thought that "Fireworks in the World" would be broadcast on Zhejiang Satellite TV. I heard that it was the director of Zhejiang Satellite TV who personally made the decision. It seems that no matter what the drama is, as long as there are popular actors and actresses, there will be no worries. People take over.”

There was a sense of joy in Lu Tao's words: "You probably don't know that the producers of this drama searched almost all the first-tier satellite TV channels, but they were all rejected. No one was willing to arrange this drama in prime time. At the beginning, Zhejiang Satellite TV did not agree, and only wanted the drama to be broadcast on its affiliated channel, but for some reason, the director of Zhejiang Satellite TV took a fancy to the drama and immediately decided to arrange it to be broadcast in prime time..."

Zhou Dingran raised his eyebrows, could it be because of me?
He is actually a little unsure.

"I'm calling today to ask you to promote this show. This is what investors must ask for, and there's nothing I can do about it." Lu Tao said, "I guess it's because of how frequently you've been on hot searches during this period. Use your popularity."

Zhou Dingran said directly without thinking: "I refuse."

"Ah? Why did you refuse?" Lu Tao said with a smile, as if he was not surprised at all.

Zhou Dingran said: "Isn't it normal for me to refuse? Lao Lu, you don't know that I didn't get a penny for this drama, right? And that investor of yours, isn't it Tianmang? Why are you so vague? I went to this show to fulfill the agreement between me and Tianmang. As for publicity, forget about it. I have no such obligation. If push comes to shove, I don’t mind another lawsuit. Affordable.”

Zhou Dingran can indeed afford it now. If it were three months ago, Zhou Dingran would really not be able to afford a behemoth like Tianmang.

But now he has shown his strength and potential. As long as he is willing, there is more capital willing to stand behind him to fight against Tianmang.

Lu Tao chuckled and said: "I know you don't agree. I just can't win over investors. I'll call you and tell you. As for whether you go or not, it's none of my business. I've taken all the salary."

Lu Tao is not a director with ideals and ambitions. Unlike Wang Sheng, he only wants to make commercial films, and he only makes them if he is paid, otherwise he would not accept a bad script like "Fireworks in the World".

"Okay, my words are here. Since you refuse, I will reply to the investors right now. "Sword of Immortality" will be launched soon. See you in Hengdian."

"See you in Hengdian."

After Zhou Dingran hung up the phone, he no longer felt sleepy. He got up and washed himself, went downstairs to have breakfast in the restaurant, and then took a taxi to school.

Today, Chen Daozhou will announce the cast members of the cast of "Sword of Immortal" in class. In addition to Zhou Dingran, Tao Chunsheng and Wang Ke in the sophomore acting department, two other people have also been selected by Chen Daozhou to join the cast of "Sword of Immortal".

The first is Chen Kexin, this tall and pretty female classmate will become the other heroine of "Sword and Fairy", Lin Yueru.

She once acted in a classroom with Zhou Dingran, and the acting video is still widely circulated on the Internet. In addition to Zhou Dingran's acting skills being amazed by countless people, Chen Kexin's acting skills have also caught the attention of many people.

This led to the fact that during Chen Kexin's internship, she was originally just a small accessory in the crew of "War Correspondent" and did not have a few lines in the whole play. However, after arriving at the place, the director saw the acting video and immediately recognized Chen Kexin. , and then after some auditions, Chen Kexin was promoted to the second female position against all opinions.

Now that "War Correspondent" has applied to be scheduled for prime time on Beiping Satellite TV, it is very likely that it will directly compete with Zhou Dingran's "Human Fireworks" at the same time soon.

And with the experience of acting as the second female lead in a movie, when Chen Kexin received the role of Lin Yueru, she was not at a loss, but carefully wrote a biography of nearly [-] words for this role.

Next is Zhu Qian, who will play the important female supporting role in the play, the young master of the Bai Miao ethnic group, Anu.

Zhu Qian once looked down on Zhou Dingran, thinking that Zhou Dingran had a face but no acting ability at all. Until she was impressed by Zhou Dingran's acting skills during the actual practice at the beginning of school, and she has fallen under Zhou Dingran's suit pants ever since.

In order to express her apology, Zhu Qian would buy Jinling steamed buns early many times and bring them to Zhou Dingran's dormitory.

But it is a pity that Zhou Dingran's whereabouts were erratic and he was not at school much. This affection was eventually eaten up by Tao Chunsheng and the others with tears in his eyes.

Now that Zhu Qian has been selected and is about to join the cast of "Sword and Fairy", many people in the class are envious.

Because everyone can see that Chen Daozhou's criteria for selecting roles this time are relatively clear. The first is to have certain acting skills, and the second is to have a certain reputation.

As for acting skills, although Chen Kexin and Zhu Qian are both good, the others in the class are not bad either, so the most important thing is reputation.

Because they have acted with Zhou Dingran, Chen Kexin and Zhu Qian's reputation is now more than one level higher than others in the industry. All their popularity comes from the two acting videos with Zhou Dingran.

Now those two videos have tens of millions of clicks and are well known to many people. It is precisely because of this that Chen Daozhou gave the two most important female roles besides the heroine to Chen Kexin and Zhu Qian.

Fortunately, both of them lived up to their fate and passed the role auditions under the test of Wang Sheng and Lu Tao.

In fact, there are still some roles that can be won, but due to some exchange of interests, these roles were eventually selected by Tianmang.

Fortunately, in addition to the two roles of Lin Yueru and Anu, Chen Daozhou also retained the two roles of shop waiter and Tang Jue Xiaobao, so that Wang Ke and Tao Chun would not be in vain.

Amid the envy of the whole class, Chen Daozhou said: "Although the filming will not start for a few days, according to the rules, you should all join the group in advance."
