China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 64 Criminal Investigation Suspense Drama

After the first unexpected kiss scene was aired, the ratings of Ghost on Xiangnan and Hanbei channels reached 4.4, occupying % of the market share in the same period.

During the time period from 7:30 to 9:30 pm from Monday to Friday across the country, one in every ten TV sets is watching ghosts.

This is definitely an achievement that can make colleagues in the TV industry envious.

What’s even scarier is that the ratings of Ghost are still rising steadily.

It remains to be determined what height it will reach in the end. .

Some people predict that the ratings after the show is over will beat the ratings champion of Xiangnan Channel last year - the rerun of My Fair Princess Part 1 and 2.

Li Yu once again proved his strong dominance in the fields of idol dramas and romance dramas with his actual performance.

As soon as the latest ratings data for "Ghosts" came out, the entertainment news section in the mainland went into a frenzy.

"Shocking! The ratings of Goblin exceeded the 4 mark!"

"According to a survey by a professional research organization, after the broadcast of "Ghost", the sales of coats in northern my country increased by 30% compared with previous years."

“The best coat salesmen of the year—Ghost Crew.”

"Qiong Yao has become a thing of the past. In the field of romantic dramas, Director Li is the future."

……

Ghosts are definitely an evergreen tree in entertainment news these days.

Basically every two episodes aired will attract widespread attention.

There are currently not many online social platforms in China. On Tianya, the most popular social platform, Liu Shishi, who plays Tang Churan, has been named the Goddess of Tianya.

If someone does archaeology many years later, Liu Shishi should be regarded as one of the first goddesses of Tianya Forum.

When Li Yu landed from Xiangnan Airport with the main creative members of Ghost, no less than a hundred fans came to pick him up the moment they left the airport.

These are real wild fans, not just extravaganzas bought with money.

"Shi Shi, I love you. Your role as Tang Churan is so cute."

"Ghost Bride, I love you."

Liu Shishi had never seen such a battle before.

Her face was flushed and her face was slightly hot.

So many people called her name and said they loved her and were her fans, which made her happy and at the same time so nervous that her palms sweated.

She smiled politely in response to her enthusiastic fans.

Shi Shi, who has just debuted and has just become popular, is obviously very new to this aspect of the business.

Luo Jin and the others said before that she was going to become famous, but she had no idea about this.

Now she felt it for herself, she was really blushing.

"Director Li, everyone is calling my name, I'm a little nervous."

Liu Shishi's voice was soft, but it could be seen from her trembling voice that she was feeling quite nervous.

Li Yu thought to himself, just cherish the days when fans call you by your name and the ghost bride.

That is to say, Tang Churan in "Goblin" fits you too well, and there are a lot of crying scenes. Basically, I cried in every episode.

Otherwise, your fans, the little lions, might be shouting blind sister, blind sister, I love you.

As a ghost actor, Zu Feng's enthusiasm is no less intense than Liu Shishi's.

Everyone said he was the most charming uncle, which made Zu Feng, who was shy, a little shy.

After all, they are all true fans, so they came to pick us up at the airport out of consideration.

Li Yu left first with his assistant, leaving the security personnel to stay to protect Liu Shishi and Zu Feng.

The latter two need to sign autographs and interact with fans.

This is also one of the important reasons why Li Yu doesn't want to come to the front of the stage, but just wants to be behind the scenes with peace of mind.

Look, how tiring is it to be an actor? When a person becomes popular, there will be a crowd of people around him wherever he goes, and he will not be able to survive even if he wants to eat at a roadside stall.

Li Yu waited in the car outside the airport for nearly twenty minutes before Zu Feng and Liu Shishi arrived.

As soon as he got in the car, Zu Feng complained in a dumbfounded voice: "It seems that I will have to do less idol dramas in the future. Fans of idol dramas are too fanatical. I hope they focus on the work itself rather than me personally."

This is very ancestral.

In Li Yu's impression, Zu Feng won't open even a small amount in the future, and he won't make any hype, and will just act peacefully.

People like him are real actors, and they are basically stars later on.

Actors and celebrities look like the same kind of people, but they are actually very different.

The former regard acting as a job and a profession. They work hard to polish their acting skills and expressiveness, and strive to make every character lifelike.

Many years later, when their works are discovered, people will call them classics.

The latter just have high reputation and high exposure. Most of them are impetuous and can't concentrate on acting. They only want to make money.

Many years later, netizens criticized there were too many bad movies, that is, there were too many of the latter.

How can a drama have seven or eight stand-ins, one, two, three, four, five, six or seven digital ladies, and take the screenwriter to the set to forcefully change the script? This is purely bad money driving out good money.

Li Yu could understand Zu Feng's thoughts.

As a director, in addition to not forgetting his original intention of liking beautiful actresses, he also admires a dedicated and capable person like Zu Feng.

"Teacher Ancestor, everything has its pros and cons, right?
  Having too many fans is really an annoyance for someone like you who doesn't like to socialize very much.

But with more fans, your commercial value will increase and your choices will become wider.

In the future, you will be able to choose the role you like, instead of others choosing you like before. "

Li Yu said calmly.

Zu Feng smiled bitterly.

Can he say that since Ghosts aired, as of today, no less than five crews have approached him?

There are no exceptions, they are all idol dramas, and they all have him playing the role of an uncle.

Domestic colleagues have seen the dazzling achievements of ghosts and want to catch up on the popularity of ghosts and ghost brides, uncles and little girls falling in love.

But most of them are definitely clumsy follow-up works, which you can tell without reading the script.

Zu Feng personally does not object to acting in idol dramas, but he personally does not like acting in idol dramas, and he does not want to stereotype idol drama actors.

He hopes to create layered, three-dimensional, deep and connotative characters on the screen for the audience to see.

He believes that only such characters can be soulful, charming and impressive.

"Director Li, I remember very clearly that you originally invited me to play Li Xin.

You said that you will definitely not only film idol dramas in the future, but you will film TV dramas with more content and complexity.

Do what you said then still count now? "

Zu Feng remembered the words Li Yu said very clearly.

Through the ghost's script, he knew that Li Yu was a very talented director and screenwriter.

Li Yu is definitely capable of writing very good scripts.

He is bringing up old things now because he is afraid that Li Yu has achieved too good results in idol dramas and feels that the money is too easy to earn, so he will fall into the eyes of money and be unable to get out of it.

He has not signed a contract with Li Yu's Hualiu Company yet, because he is also worried that Li Yu will continue to thrive in idol dramas.

They will even arrange for him to continue starring in idol dramas to make money.

"Teacher Zu, in fact, every director hopes to break through himself and reach a higher realm.

Of course, my life as a director will not only include idol dramas, idol dramas are just the beginning.

I want to make a criminal investigation suspense drama with a cinematic quality. "

Li Yu replied seriously.

"A criminal investigation suspense drama?"

Zu Feng immediately became energetic.
