Chapter 98 How about adding a kiss scene! (Please subscribe!)
Hearing this, Lin Xuan just smiled lightly.

"Detective Di Renjie" will be broadcast on eight CCTV channels in July, while "Young Man Bao Qingtian" can only be broadcast on local TV stations.

Don't think that there is no difference if one logs in to CCTV and the other logs in to satellite TV.

Different broadcast platforms have a great impact on ratings.

At the turn of the millennium, the penetration rate of cable TV networks in the mainland has covered more than [-]% of the population.

However, due to the limitations of limited TV signals, the signals of fifty or sixty TV stations can be found except in a few megacities such as Beijing and Shanghai.

Households in most areas can only receive TV signals from their own province and CCTV.

TV dramas broadcast on provincial channels generally cover a population of [-] million to [-] million, while those broadcast on CCTV can cover a population of more than one billion.

This is why when counting national ratings, the top 20, or even the top 30, are all dramas broadcast by CCTV.

In terms of national ratings alone, no one can shake CCTV’s dominance.

Those costume dramas and idol dramas that are highly discussed on the Internet in later generations.

As long as it is not broadcast on CCTV, the national ratings are not very high, and at best it only creates a craze in two or three provinces.

"Journey to the West" dominated the winter vacation of countless students at the beginning of the year, and the national ratings were only around 11%.

The dramas broadcast on CCTV can easily achieve ratings of more than 15%.

The reason why everyone watched it when they were children is because the ratings in the province were high, and other TV stations were keen to watch it, so they bought it back and broadcast it after the copyright price dropped.

As the number of rotations increases, the influence of the TV series gradually expands to the whole country, but this time usually takes more than two years.

For example, Su Youpeng's version of "Eternal Heaven and Sword of the Dragon" was aired 21 times on TV stations in various provinces.

Zhang Jizhong's version of "Dragon" was broadcast 36 times on provincial TV stations.

There is also the 86 version of "Journey to the West" that has been broadcast more than 3000 times, setting a Guinness World Record, and truly making it known to all the people.

Therefore, it is a joke to compare "Young Boy Bao Qingtian" with "Detective Di Renjie". There is no comparison between the two.

Zhang Jizhong was just joking with him, taking the current filming of "The Swordsman" as an example.

Even if Zhang Jizhong makes it a piece of shit, relying on the radiation range of CCTV signals and the big IP of Jin Yong's drama, the ratings will not be much different at all.

…………

After more than a month of filming, the hard-fought scenes in the early stages were finally completed.

After filming such depressing scenes for so long, Lin Xuan felt like he was almost depressed.

The progress has now reached Wu Ba Gang. Linghu Chong, the unlucky guy, has bottomed out and is about to meet Ren Yingying. His life has begun to take a turn for the better.

There were eight strands of Qi fighting in Linghu Chong's body, and even the "murderous doctor" Ping Yi couldn't cure him. Then he was abandoned by his master.

Feeling that he was about to die soon, he drank crazily every day, preparing to end his life like this.

Fortunately, the "mother-in-law" in Green Bamboo Lane was very kind to him, but her identity was mysterious and she seemed to be a member of the Demon Cult.

Linghu Chong couldn't bear Shaolin Master Fang Sheng to hurt his "mother-in-law", so he used the Dugu Nine Swords to fight him to a draw.

When the master saw that he was Feng Qingyang's successor, he stopped pursuing it and gave him two healing pills.

Linghu Chong felt much better from his internal injuries after taking one pill, but his "mother-in-law" didn't want to eat the smelly Shaolin monk's food, whether alive or dead.

He had no choice but to use some cruel tricks to force her out of the house, only to find that the "mother-in-law" turned out to be a little girl.

At the filming scene, Lin Xuan took the script and acted against Xu Qing.

The original version was shot here very silly. Lin Xuan asked the screenwriter to change the script and try to make it as close to the original version as possible.

A month after filming started, the two of them had very few scenes together. As a result, it was an intimate scene for the first time, and Lin Xuan was a little embarrassed.

Xu Qing was very calm. When filming, physical contact is unavoidable.

She also took the initiative to tease and break the awkwardness: "Lin Xuan, are you going to kiss my left cheek or my right cheek later?"

When Lin Xuan heard what she said, he felt much more relaxed and said, "I think the middle is better. How about I ask the director to add a kiss scene for us."

"Go, go now." Xu Qing was not afraid and looked at him provocatively.

Lin Xuan laughed and dropped the topic. He didn't dare ask the director to change the play like this.

This scene was the first meeting between Linghu Chong and Ren Yingying. Because Ren Yingying had covered her face before, Linghu Chong thought she was her 80-year-old mother-in-law.

Seeing Ren Yingying's tenderness and cuteness, she couldn't help but kiss her cheek. She could still call him a wanderer, free and uninhibited.

If they kiss, then he is a lecher and can only sit at the same table with Tian Boguang.

The makeup artist added "blood" to the corners of Xu Qing's mouth.

Lin Xuan sat down against the wall and waved, and Xu Qing obediently got into his arms.

Everything was ready, the director shouted:

"action!"

Lin Xuan looked down at Xu Qing with a surprised expression and murmured: "Mother-in-law, it turns out you are a beautiful little... girl."

When Xu Qing touched her face, she realized that the veil had been removed.

Lin Xuan asked: "Why did you pretend to be mother-in-law to deceive me, pretend to be a senior, and hurt me..."

"What did it hurt you?"

"It made me, my mother-in-law, my mother-in-law, my mother-in-law, my son, call you all the way."

Xu Qing chuckled: "When did I say that I am mother-in-law? You called me mother-in-law yourself."

Lin Xuan smiled bitterly and laughed at himself: "I should have known. How could an 80-year-old mother-in-law speak so crisply and delicately?"

When Xu Qing heard him praising her, her face turned red and she said with a smile, "Okay, Eunuch Linghu, Grandpa Linghu. You've called me mother-in-law for so long, so I'll call you a few times too, so you won't suffer any loss."

Lin Xuan smiled and said: "I am the father-in-law and you are the mother-in-law. We are the father-in-law and the mother-in-law. Aren't we..." He was about to say, "Aren't we a couple?"

Xu Qing frowned and an angry look appeared on her face: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Seeing that she was angry, Lin Xuan quickly changed his tune.

Xu Qing lay in his arms, smelling the strong scent on his body, and felt confused. She wanted to get up but had no strength.

"Push me."

"Why did you push me?"

Xu Qing looked shy and whispered: "We are like this... like this..."

Lin Xuan smiled and said: "This is what father-in-law and mother-in-law are like."

Xu Qing was ashamed and angry: "If you keep talking nonsense, I will kill you if you don't."

When Lin Xuan saw her shy manner and her incomparable beauty, his heart moved and he leaned over to kiss her on the cheek.

Xu Qing was startled, and suddenly a burst of strength came from her body, and she slapped him across the face.

"Crack! This one is over!"

Hearing this, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and Xu Qing immediately got up from his arms.

This scene was rejected three times, and the two of them filmed it for more than half an hour. Xu Qing just lay in his arms for half an hour.

Now that his arms were empty and the fragrant beauty was gone, he felt a little disappointed for no reason.

This is why it is so common to see couples on set and sets.

A man and a woman get along day and night, kissing and hugging each other all day long, and they can still have feelings without feelings.

After taking a short break, Lin Xuan drank some water and continued to prepare for shooting.

…………

Two weeks later, it was late June.

The premiere of "Young Man Bao Qingtian" ended, and the average ratings reached 7.42%, which was slightly better than Zhang Jizhong expected.

Thanks to this dark horse drama, Zhou Jie's popularity has increased again, and she can now challenge the title of "Four Big Students" in the Mainland.

Ren Quan, who has been in the industry for many years, finally tasted the feeling of becoming popular.

He is walking on the street now, and passers-by have already recognized him as Gongsun Ce.

Li Bingbing and Fan Xiaopang also received a lot of bonuses, especially Li Bingbing.

Don't look at her movies that have won awards abroad, but in terms of national popularity, they are not even as good as Fan Xiaopang.

It happened that Zhang Weijian came north to the mainland to film a movie, and Wang Jinhua immediately found connections to get Li Bingbing into the group.

This drama is called "Smart Little Understanding". It is his first drama in the Mainland, and the results are quite good.

The first broadcast of "Young Man Bao Qingtian" had such high ratings that it was directly sold to three TV stations in the second round.

The producers made a lot of money from this, and the production of the second part has been put on the agenda.

Talking back to "The Swordsman", a big shot has come to the crew in the past two days.

Famous actor and contemporary swordsman - Mr. Yu Chenghui.

The old man has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and has won a martial arts championship. He has successively created his own sword techniques such as "Drunken Sword", "Mantis Sword" and "Two-Handed Sword".

In 82, he co-starred in the movie "Shaolin Temple" with Jet Li and Yu Hai, playing the villain in the film.

The drama has grossed a total box office of 1.6 million yuan, with more than 5 million viewers, including more than 3000 million overseas viewers.

Not only did Li Lianjie become famous, Yu Chenghui also embarked on the path of becoming an actor.

This contemporary martial arts master is not only proficient in various martial arts routines, but also good at using weapons.

The old man will have a movie in the future called "Archer Liu Bai Yuan", in which there is a scene where he and his apprentice fight with guns.

That unpredictable retaliate shocked many viewers.

In addition to his excellent kung fu skills, the old man has white beard and hair, and has an immortal spirit. This kind of image and temperament of a great master is most suitable for playing the role of martial arts seniors like Feng Qingyang and Zhang Sanfeng.

As soon as he appears, without saying anything, the audience will guess that this old man is not simple.

Zhang Jizhong liked the old man very much, so he specially asked him to play Feng Qingyang in "The Swordsman".

The old man doesn't have many roles, and it can be completed in as little as one or two days, or as slowly as three or four days. His main opponent is Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan has practiced martial arts in the system space and is considered a half martial arts practitioner. He naturally respects such a martial arts senior.

Every time he took a break during filming, he would shamelessly ask for advice and even performed martial arts and swordsmanship in person.

When the old gentleman saw that he had a solid foundation and played well, he applauded and praised him a few times.

Lin Xuan took the opportunity to hold a wooden stick and asked the old man how to practice the carbine.

When watching the movie that year, Lin Xuan was extremely impressed by this move, because this clip made him watch the entire movie.

He felt that it would be a pity not to learn such a handsome move and not show it in movies and TV series.

Seeing that he had a good foundation, the old man agreed to teach him how to use the carbine.

Therefore, the cast and crew often saw Lin Xuan practicing against the wall over and over again with a wooden stick after finishing work.

Two days later, Yu Chenghui wrapped up and left.

Lin Xuan was grateful for his kindness and specially drove him to the station and asked Baoqiang to prepare a gift.
