Super entertainment red envelope

Chapter 633 Ordinary Citizens!

The current shooting cycle of "Extreme Challenge" is almost once every two weeks.

When it is officially broadcast in January next year, almost six episodes can be recorded, and many of them will record two episodes at a time.

And the set of "Latent" has become the recording base of "Extreme Challenge" many times.

The second and third episodes of "Martial Arts Hegemony" and "Giants of the Times" were selected in the martial arts film and television base and Xiangjiang Street film and television base next to the "Latent" studio.

At the same time, Hu Lei and Cheng Xiaodong were invited to participate in the second issue, and many supporting actors from "Latent" were invited to play guest NPCs in the third issue, and Xiangjiang actor Lin Wenlong was invited as a guest.

However, Zhou Shilei did not participate in these two episodes.

During the recording, director Li Rui said "he was really persuaded to quit".

But in fact, it was only in the name of the first episode. In fact, Zhou Shilei stayed on the crew to film, because he had too many roles, especially personal scenes, inner monologues, etc., and the scenes with several heroines.

In addition to realizing the slogan of "grasping with both hands and being tough with both hands", this move also hopes to create a sense of suspense and topicality to the audience when it is broadcast.

In a blink of an eye, a month and a half passed.

The shooting progress of "Latent" has been completed by 90.00%, and several leading actors have all been filmed.

The rest of the scenes are all supporting actors and other scenes, and another important part of this drama is the narration and dubbing in the later stage.

This does not require anyone else, Li Zhifan decided to do it himself, he has absorbed a lot of skills related to sound, this is where he comes in handy.

……

12 month 20 day.

Directed by Zhou Shilei, produced by Wang Ye, and produced by Men's Gang Film and Television, it is the first domestic movie about male and female transformation.

Just after the filming of "Latent", Zhou Shilei led the main creative staff to participate in the promotion non-stop.

On the first day of its release, the movie earned 4000 million at the box office.

This year, the Chinese film market has entered a downturn since the popularity of "Wolf Warrior".

Many filmmakers are looking forward to the New Year's rejuvenation in the box office market, and although the box office of "Transformed Man and Woman" is only 4000 million, it still created the highest box office record in the Chinese market in the second half of the year.

At the same time, it also won the first place among the movies released in the same period.

However, "Men and Men" is an out-and-out comedy. Although there are some black humor elements, it is not comparable to innovative comedies and dramas like "The Truman Show".

After New Year's Day, "Latent" was officially completed and entered the post-production stage.

Because of the support of old dramas and the original version in Li Zhifan's mind, this TV series can be shot so fast.

However, there are also differences from the original "Latent". Li Zhifan did not completely remake the original "Latent", but based on the original script provided by "Latent". About two episodes.

The most important thing is that those clips that could not be broadcast in the original version and were cut due to scale issues all appeared in this TV series.

There are also some BUGs that have been filled in, such as characters that suddenly disappeared, and the plot at the end was not explained clearly.

I don't know if these shots can pass the review, but Li Zhifan believes that it is still possible to fight for it. After all, the times are different, plus the glory and aura Li Zhifan bears, as well as the support of the big bosses above, these are very important to him. Speaking of which, it shouldn't be a problem.

Radio and TV's review system for TV dramas has been improved year after year.

Although it can't be the same as the movie, it is really more tolerant when it comes to some big productions and in-depth themes. Even some histories that were once beautified by the government can also reveal the truth.

On the contrary, those who distort history, make people ridiculous, and over-whitewash, have gradually withdrawn from the screen, and the review is very strict.

The finale banquet of "Latent" was held very low-key, and only a dozen media people were invited. Compared with the finale and release of Li Zhifan's previous works, this scale is much smaller.

After the wrap-up banquet, Li Zhifan accepted several media interviews.

The content of the interview is very complicated, because this is the first time Li Zhifan has been interviewed by the media after half a year since "Wolf Warrior", so they prepared a lot of questions.

Reporter from Nanfang Weekly: "Mr. Li, does this filming of "Latent" mean that you have officially transformed into a drama director? In the future, the filming and acting will only be dramas?"

"Not necessarily!" Li Zhifan said, "The key is to look at the theme. If there is a theme or script I like, then I will participate, but the bottom line is conscience, the conscience of the work, and the conscience of the producer."

"Li Zhifan, you have been married for more than half a year, when will the wedding banquet be held?"

This is a question posed to Li Zhifan by a reporter from a Shanghai stock market magazine.

The Shanghai stock market magazine publishes some entertainment news, especially the love between men and women in the entertainment industry.

"Hehe, I have to ask my wife this question!" Li Zhifan laughed, "It's all up to her to choose the time and location. I'm just responsible for paying the final bill!"

"It seems that you love your wife very much!" The reporter continued to ask, "Did you like your wife because of her beauty?"

"Appearance?" Li Zhifan shook his head and smiled, "I'm face-blind, so I don't even know if she's pretty, not to mention my appearance is also mediocre, and she was by my side before I debuted. It's not too young, I believe we are love."

"You are so happy!"

The Beijing News reporter went on to say, "Now the whole Internet calls you a good husband of the nation, do you think you are?"

"Well, I don't dare to say it! Really, to be honest, I haven't done anything in the family because of my work. In fact, I owe it to my wife!" Li Zhifan said, "Because I am a child from an ordinary family. The entertainment industry has magnified my family and career, although I am a public figure, I know in my heart that I am actually an ordinary citizen."

"You are too modest!" Another reporter asked, "This time filming "Latent" is a TV series, does that mean that you will set foot in the TV circle completely?"

"This..." Li Zhifan scratched his head, thought for a while, and said, "Actually, whether it's a movie or a TV series, I shoot casually! My first identity is still a musician, and this will never change."

"You really know how to joke!" The reporter said with a smile, "The movie you made has earned so much box office, and I heard that you have also received a lot of investment and sponsorship from this TV series. Now many TV stations are scrambling to contact you. , So, what do you think about making money? Especially making money in the entertainment industry?"

"Make money?" Li Zhifan was taken aback. He did make a lot of money, but besides his own investment, most of the money was shared. The entertainment industry is like this. First earn fame and then make money. He is now in the middle stage, and with his own Strength is not enough to build a huge entertainment empire alone.

So he said directly: "No matter how high the box office is, no matter how high the audience rating is, it is just a cloud to me. I am not very interested in making money. Fame and profit are the same to me. By the way, taking out what I want to bring to everyone is what I am willing to do."

The reporters looked at each other in blank dismay, they didn't know what expressions to make when facing Li Zhifan's words.

It is indeed the king of pretending to beep, and the reporters are convinced.

After the wrap-up banquet and the reporter's interview, Li Zhifan continued to go back to do his own post-production, and everything was still calm in his opinion.

However, after this interview was posted on the Internet, it immediately aroused heated discussions among netizens.

Someone even composed a song for this, and it was accompanied by Li Zhifan's song.

"He claims to be plain looking!"

"He said he was face-blind and didn't know a beautiful wife!"

"He's not interested in money, he's indifferent to fame and fortune, it's all just floating clouds!"

"He's just an ordinary family!"

"The box office of 60 billion is just a matter of shooting casually, and making money is easy!"

"The king of pretending to beep, pretending to be invisible, he is the most deadly, and the seconds between words!"

"Someone asked his name, Li Jiazhifan was just an ordinary citizen"

"..."

I don't know which big V first uploaded and released this song on Kuaibo, but the cover singer is a home station music UP master, who specializes in spoofing and crooked singing.

It was already a few days later when Li Zhifan heard this song.

Regarding the content of the song, he just laughed it off, but he didn't expect that he would be regarded as pretending to beep when he said the truth?
Forget it, it doesn't matter!
Anyway, he is just an ordinary citizen.

……

When the post-production of "Latent" was in full swing, the competition for the broadcast platform was extremely hot.

Li Zhifan is not in charge of this matter, but Timeline and Menbang Film and Television will handle it.

Mango Channel, which participated in the investment, naturally regarded it as something in its pocket, and also declared to the outside world that "Mango Channel will jointly produce a solo drama" in order to attract investment.

Naturally, other provincial satellite TVs will not compete with Mango TV, because they know they can't compete.

The fiercest competition is all online broadcasting platforms, several major video sites are about to squeeze their heads out, and they send people to live in Menbang Film and Television Company.

However, at this time, CCTV suddenly came out, just because they fell in love with "Latent".

CCTV One is not a domineering role, and is willing to pay twice the price of Mango TV to buy the right to broadcast the first round of this TV series.

Mango TV only has a stake in Menbang Film and Television, and strictly speaking it is not a producer, so whether it must be broadcast on Mango Channel is not very sure. Sometimes TV dramas invested by Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV will also be broadcast on Mango Channel. It is announced that the TV series produced by Mango Film and Television will also be released on other provincial satellite TV platforms.

Upon receiving this news, Man Gang Film and Television was both excited and embarrassed.

Twice the price, or a set of CCTV!
This kind of condition must be given to CCTV!
But at Mango Terrace...it's not easy to explain!
For a while, Nannanbang Film and Television was caught in a dilemma, not knowing what to do.

……

"Zhifan! There is something wrong with the release of "Latent", do you have time to hold a meeting to discuss it?"

Li Zhifan, who was busy recording a monologue for "Latent", suddenly received a call from Wang Ye. Hearing that there was a problem with the release, he quickly asked, "What's wrong? We haven't finished the later stage, so why did something go wrong?"

"That's not what I mean. I can't explain it clearly on the phone. You will know when you come!"

Wang Ye said eagerly, "Hurry up, hurry up!"

In fact, it is an upstairs and downstairs. Li Zhifan went downstairs from the post-production room on the 34th floor to the office area of ​​Men Gang Film and Television. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Wang Ye chatting with a well-dressed man with slanted shoulders. I don't know what to talk about.

"Brother Wild!"

Li Zhifan rubbed his cheeks, walked up and asked, "What's the matter? In such a hurry?"

"Oh, let me introduce you first!"

Wang Ye pointed to the man next to him and said, "This is the CCTV director, Gao Qian!"

"Hello!" Gao Qian stretched out his hand to Li Zhifan, and said with a gentle smile, "Mr. Li Zhifan, I am the director of CCTV's comprehensive channel, Gao Qian!"

"Oh!" Li Zhifan didn't understand his visit, let alone what he meant by introducing himself again.

"I'm here this time because of the first-round broadcast rights of "Latent"!"

Gao Qian said bluntly, "We are very interested in and confident in this drama. This kind of drama should be broadcast on a rigorous and high-standard channel like CCTV. As for Mango TV, after all, the entertainment atmosphere It's heavier, but because they are also one of the shareholders of the producer, we have to spend twice as much as theirs to buy this show!"

Li Zhifan was stunned for a while, and the only one who dared to criticize another TV station was CCTV's mother.

It's just so tough, it's just so fearless.

However, it was agreed to broadcast on Mango Channel. Although no contract was signed, CCTV also did a lot of work during the filming period, looking for sponsors, attracting investment, and sending actors.

Now kicking away the mango stand is indeed a bit unkind.

"Mr. Li, you are the screenwriter and director of "Latent", and the actual leader of Timeline Entertainment, the largest producer and investor behind it. I hope you can think deeply about our CCTV from various perspectives. As far as I know, The price offered by Mango TV is only a very ordinary price, which is really not appropriate for a big drama like "Latent".

Gao Qian also said, "We at CCTV are going to make the drama "Latent" the opening drama of the coming year, and we will do our best to promote it."

"This one……"

Li Zhifan said, "To be able to cooperate with CCTV is of course a very happy thing for all the production staff of "Latent". But this has to be discussed with Mango TV. Since CCTV is willing to pay twice the price, it is easy to say No one will have trouble with money!"

"Mr. Li, I am looking forward to this cooperation!"

Gao Qian stretched out his hand and held Li Zhifan again, "I still have very important work in my station, I will wait for your good news here, see you again!"

After sending Gao Qian downstairs and watching him get in the car and leave, Wang Ye asked Li Zhifan, "Do we really want to talk to Mango TV about this?"

"Hmm! At least let me know, if Mango TV is willing to offer such a high price, then we'll have something to play with!"

Li Zhifan didn't want Wang Ye to be so worried, but was very happy. Who doesn't want his works to be appreciated and valued by high prices?
