Chapter 194 Reason, Visiting the Set, Knocking on the Door Again (Subscription Request)

"For Whom the Bell Tolls" officially started filming on the 28th. Today is July 15th. It has been almost 20 days without us noticing, and the crew's filming is actually going quite smoothly.

A TV series basically starts with publicity and promotion from the start of filming or the establishment of the project.

Publicity and production are two legs to walk.

It's just that publicity and promotion are progressive, from preparation to official announcement, from official announcement to filming, from filming to shooting, from shooting to wrapping up, from wrapping up to scheduling, from scheduling to broadcasting.

There will be publicity at every level.

Generally, there are only three ways to promote during filming.

Media visits, artist visits, media meet-ups, etc.

Among them, artist visits are the best for publicity.

After all, some artists have their own traffic, and when they come to visit the set, they can basically help promote the TV series.

For example, Lin Xing was invited by Guan Peng to participate in the visit to "Learn from Dad and Learn from Mom". At that time, the crew of "Learn from Dad and Learn from Mom" ​​wanted to borrow Lin Xing's popularity.

Of course, because the lineup of "Learn from Dad and Learn from Mom" ​​is strong, Lin Xing and "Learn from Dad and Learn from Mom" ​​are mutually exclusive.

And today, there are also artists visiting "For Whom the Bell Tolls".

Speaking of this visit, everything was prepared before, because "For Whom the Bell Tolls" was exclusively premiered on Magic City TV.

Yes.

This time, "For Whom the Bell Tolls" was directly purchased by Jiang Zhong, deputy director of Magic City TV.

In fact, the pressure on TV stations has been quite high in the past two years. At present, in addition to the fact that Tan Province Satellite TV produces and sells its own products and is often right because of its wealth, according to Jiang Zhong, the impact of online dramas on TV dramas is too great now, and what TV stations need is to catch high-quality dramas.

But how easy is it to get a high-quality drama? ?

Do you think that a hit drama is a cabbage? ?

In many cases, basically everyone is competing for it, and sometimes a hit drama may not necessarily become a hit, just like "Only Waiting for You" like "Learn from Dad and Learn from Mom", and "The Right Way to Open Independence".

So, most of the time you have to rely on gambling.

Take the drama "The Power of the Heart" for example. It was almost certain that it was a big deal when filming began, but neither Shanghai Satellite TV nor other TV stations had the opportunity to bid.

Because the drama was scheduled on Tansheng Satellite TV early on.

Other TV stations may not dare to spend a lot of money, but Tansheng Satellite TV is rich, not to mention that Tansheng Media has already cooperated with Yiying Group.

In other words, the drama "The Power of the Heart" has been scheduled on Tansheng Satellite TV from the beginning.

Other TV stations did not even have the opportunity to bid.

Then Shanghai Satellite TV had to settle for the second best, because compared with "The Power of the Heart", it is really hard to say whether "For Whom the Bell Tolls" will be a hit.

First of all, the director + screenwriter of this drama is guaranteed, and the actors are all powerful in addition to the resource-rich ones. This seems to be a hit, otherwise the actors in the industry would not compete to play it.

But on the other hand, the IP of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" was not well-known, and this drama was designed to promote Liang Yi. Many people think that the reputation of Liang Yi's TV dramas is only fair, and he has not really exploded in the past two years.

As a result, in the early stage of preparation for "For Whom the Bell Tolls", only the online broadcasting platform was determined, but the TV stations were actually prepared to make a decision after watching the film.

At this time, Jiang Zhong, who was the head of Shanghai TV, bought out the exclusive broadcasting rights of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" with great courage.

Give it a try.

Jiang Zhong believes that if Shanghai TV wants to occupy the market share, it must gamble, otherwise what can they compare with Tan Province Satellite TV?

In the past two years, Shanghai TV has been working hard. Take variety shows for example. Shanghai TV has always wanted to make its own high-quality variety shows, just like the previous phenomenal work "Traveling with Grandpa" is an innovation of Shanghai TV.

But unfortunately, it went too far this year.

The show "Can I Come to Your House for Dinner" co-produced by Shanghai TV and Penguin Video is hard to describe in terms of reputation and ratings.

Except for the first two episodes, most of them are average.

You should know that Shanghai TV attaches great importance to this variety show. They invited Zhu Li, the chief director of "Traveling with Grandpa", to direct it.

But it still doesn't work.

Facts have proved that directors have their own comfort zones, or that if you succeed in one variety show, it doesn't mean that you can continue to succeed in the second variety show.

So Jiang Zhong discussed with Zhu Li to prepare for another variety show. This time they are going to do a big one, that is, to make a cross-border variety show for actors.

It belongs to the competitive competition.

Of course, cross-border variety shows for actors are basically singing and performing crosstalk sketches, because basically these two are the most interesting.

At present, the two people tend to cross-border singing. At the same time, in order to make this variety show more interesting, they also directly invited Mu Zihuan to be the cross-border convener and host of this variety show.

After all, Jiang Zhong's confidence in buying the play "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is also related to Mu Zihuan.

He is still optimistic about Mu Zihuan's investment ability.

After all, Mu Zihuan's company had invested in part of the drama "For Whom the Bell Tolls", and Jiang Zhong and Mu Zihuan had known each other for many years. He believed that since Mu Zihuan was optimistic about the IP of "For Whom the Bell Tolls", Jiang Zhong was also willing to take a chance.

That is to say, Mu Zihuan is now promoting the variety show "Actors Come Crossover" and "For Whom the Bell Tolls", so it is perfect for him to visit the set.

Firstly, visiting the set is work, which is also what Jiang Zhong said when he chatted with Mu Zihuan a few days ago. Visiting the set and then doing a wave of publicity is a win-win situation.

Secondly, Mu Zihuan has indeed been worn out by Ling Mei. After all, Ling Mei's acting skills in bed are still very strong, and Mu Zihuan likes this type very much.

In this case, Mu Zihuan decided to visit the set today.

In addition, today is also the media visit meeting of "For Whom the Bell Tolls".

The main point is a "coincidence".

When the half-hour media visit was about to end, Mu Zihuan came.

"There are too many acquaintances in this drama. I just happened to have time today so I came to watch it."

Facing the media interview, Mu Zihuan said with a smile: "I actually want to act, but I've been too busy recently..."

The media that had been arranged long ago took the initiative to ask Mu Zihuan, and Mu Zihuan also introduced the variety show he was doing recently.

"I think actors need to cross over appropriately. As an actor, you need to try. Only by trying more can you promote your acting skills..."

"I am definitely thinking about gathering more people in the circle to play, but everyone is also very busy, so it's not clear who to invite for the time being."

...

"This guy is really good at pretending."

Wei Fei looked at Mu Zihuan who was talking freely and said with some contempt.

Lin Xing was a little puzzled: "Sister Fei, has he offended you?"

"He didn't offend me, but he offended my best friend."

Wei Fei shook her head slightly and said: "This Mu Zihuan relied on his face to live off other people, but now he is very popular, he has started to go the uncle route, and he is so bold in marketing himself, I feel sick..."

Okay.

Lin Xing understood after listening to Wei Fei's words. This should be an old story.

After all, Mu Zihuan is 50 years old now, and he was living off other people almost 20 or 30 years ago. At that time, Mu Zihuan was not the only one living off other people.

Many old actors with both virtue and art were also having fun at that time.

It can only be said that the Internet was not very developed at that time, otherwise, I am afraid that a lot of old actors would have collapsed.

10 minutes later, Mu Zihuan's visit to the set was almost over, and a few promotional clips were taken on the set, such as Mu Zihuan teaching Ling Mei how to act, and he also said that Ling Mei had a talent for acting, etc.

This was a benefit given to Mu Zihuan by the crew.

You came to promote the crew, and you are one of the bosses, so the crew naturally has to promote your mistress, or Ling Mei, who is the fourth or fifth mistress.

Then, Ling Mei saw Mu Zihuan off, and Ling Mei returned to the crew almost 3 hours later.

At this time, the news about Mu Zihuan's visit to the set really topped the hot search list on the Internet.

"Oh, I thought Lao Mu would also guest star in "For Whom the Bell Tolls"???"

"To be honest, this Mu Zihuan's acting is really good, but he seems to be retiring in the past two years."

"Retiring from what circle? It can only be said that he has been making money in the past two years, and his mind is no longer on acting."

"Oh, that's right, look, he said in an interview that he is going to record a variety show again."

"Not only recording, he also wants to be the host, this is really obsessed with money."

...

This is a double promotion of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" and "Actors Come Crossover".

Basically, the effect is quite good.

This proves that even if Mu Zihuan has no works in the past two years, he still has a strong popularity with many classic works and exposure in variety shows.

In the afternoon, the official V of "Actors Come Crossover" was officially established. At the same time, the first Weibo of the official V mentioned Mu Zihuan, and the official publicity Mu Zihuan is the convener.

He is responsible for convening the actors.

However, the current promotion of "Actors Come Crossover" did not mention any actors coming to sing. Their official V only said that actors can do a lot of things when they crossover.

It can be regarded as a sense of expectation.

"Brother Xing..."

At night, Ling Mei knocked on Lin Xing's door again. For Ling Mei, as long as Lin Xing let her in, everything would be fine.

"Brother Xing, listen to me first. I am here to talk to you on behalf of Teacher Mu. He wants to invite you to participate in the first recording of "Actors Come Crossover"..."

Ling Mei said with a smile on her face.

"Oh? Then come in."

Lin Xing nodded gently at this time.

At this time, Ling Mei was secretly happy in her heart. As long as she came in, she could promote it first.

As a result, Ling Mei was stunned when she entered the door.

Because... Wei Fei and Wang Lu were also there.
