Exploring the Entertainment Circle [Ancient and Modern]

After Tao Qingfeng returned to the city, he first went back to the company to plan his next itinerary and sort out what he had gained so far.

The TV series "Dongxia Dongjun and the Witch" is on the air, and there is a backlog of many interview invitations.Most of Tao Qingfeng didn't go, it wasn't because he was negligent on purpose, and he didn't dare to play big games, but it just happened to coincide with his schedule for filming local dramas.This kind of media planning always comes together during the hottest period of the show.There are interviews, activities, and variety shows; there are forms such as asking him to appear on camera, voice, and quotations; but Tao Qingfeng does have tasks, and many planning projects can only be rejected.Although most of the media expressed regret, they also expressed their understanding.But secretly, some entertainment journalists who didn't complete the task spurned him as a fool, rolled their eyes and thought: I don't know how to look at the wind direction, and I don't take the opportunity to come out for business.This kind of virtue will never be popular for a lifetime.There is almost no stock of that local drama, this Tao Qingfeng will probably be confused in the future...

They don't know how swollen their faces will be in the near future...

Tao Qingfeng still caught up with a plan that he himself thought was more meaningful—it was initiated by the Domestic Audio Production and Publishing Co., Ltd.—it’s a pity that the audiovisual publishing industry is already in the sunset of the sunset industry, and now it’s basically nothing People buy discs.Audio publishing used to have two pillar industries: first, singer CDs;These audiovisual publishing companies that have not yet closed down, with their annual profits shrinking, can only make some classic series slowly, or release some commemorative CDs, which are closer to the number of antique shops: what is produced is no longer supplies, but It is a collectible, but there is barely a market to sustain it.

This time, the Blueberry producer decided to customize a commemorative Blu-ray DVD for "The Hero and the Witch", and only made [-] sets for collection.Although it is a shabby number compared to the billions of views of "Dongjun and the Witch" on video sites.But a set of commemorative DVD codes will cost several hundred yuan.The audio-visual product publishing company estimates based on past experience: Although there are many people who watch dramas, those who are willing to pay so much for pure drama collections... probably only this amount.It would be great if two thousand sets could be sold out.After all, many people don't even have DVD players, and the website also has high-definition resources.

The Audio Publishing Company planned to add some sideshows to the DVD: one of them was to let Tao Qingfeng narrate while watching the highlights in the plot.The highlights of the plot choose Yu Shanhai falling off the cliff, reuniting with brothers after their identities are revealed, ending with suicide and resurrection eggs.The big screen sets the small screen, the big screen is Tao Qingfeng watching, and the small screen is the feature film.

The Blueberry producer also made the decision to add more viewability: The terminal Tao Qingfeng watched was the Blueberry video, and the barrage was open.When making tidbits, the barrage track is also recorded, and advertisements and meaningless words are deleted, basically keeping the original flavor.So in this on-site commentary, Tao Qingfeng watched the film while watching the barrage, saying that he was impressed by his experience during filming, and he was stunned by the flirty words in the barrage from time to time.

The scene where Yu Shanhai and Luo Langning meet again, Luo Langning is carried horizontally on the horse's back, and angrily asks why are you here, the great hero.Tao Qingfeng glanced over and saw all kinds of hoarse voices such as "This is not an exercise", "Please stop breathing for ten seconds before continuing", "Don't blame the high energy ahead for not reminding you", "Seven strokes are stuck here and you can't get out" and other early warning sounds , There are also various "legendary high-energy scenes to leave names", "sandalwood body protectors when you come late", "the airborne party is here for famous scenes" and other random entries.

If it weren't for the screening process when the blueberries were imported into the sandalwood track, and the duplicates, large sections of duplication covering the screen, and the middle and bottom bullet screens were all cleaned up, Tao Qingfeng probably wouldn't be able to see the screen at all.Even so, the upper half of the screen has been completely covered up.

Tao Qingfeng recalled the shooting situation at that time, explaining: "When I took this shot with the stand-in, both of us were very strong, so we accidentally changed our posture. In the past, we used to straddle the horse, but later we turned into a horizontal hug. Looking at the camera, I think the effect is better. From my personal understanding: Yu Shanhai really wants to protect his brother. There are arrows everywhere, and he can cover them better like this. This is the mentality of being a brother. Good brother..."

Of course, he didn't know that after the DVD disc was released, this tidbit was repeatedly recalled by the true fans with tears.At that time, Tao Qingfeng looked at the screen, when Luo Langning was carried on the horse in fluttering white clothes, all kinds of "moving brotherhood" in the barrage "We agree on the surface that this is brotherhood, but in fact we all know it is【】 Tao Qingfeng was at a loss and puzzled by such gossip, "Learn about the orthopedics department for nine yuan", "Where is the head-pressing team?" and so on.

He read a few sentences without knowing why, and smiled: "What does this mean?" "I don't understand." "The staff asked me to read it myself, and no one explained it to me."

When this tidbit was seen by fans, they were dumbfounded, shocked and funny: "You don't need to understand Qingfeng", "The blueberries are beautifully dried", "Qingfeng has opened the door to a new world since then", "It's true that Qingfeng doesn't watch "Ceramic vows to protect brother Qingfeng's pure thoughts to the death", "Didn't Qingfeng say that he often discusses the plot with the screenwriter sister? According to the screenwriter sister's taste, I think Qingfeng already understands everything."

But their worries were overstated. Even after Tao Qingfeng finished explaining the three-act play, he still didn't understand the mysterious and great modern invention of barrage.He probably understands that this is a channel for the audience to complain, but the profound Internet terms and coquettish descriptions in it, he is like a foreigner who has just learned modern Chinese, and he still needs to go a long way to get around.

"The Hero and the Witch" is limited to [-] sets of DVD collector's edition, which is pre-sold online on a certain treasure, and comes with extra gifts such as extras such as sideshows, posters, and bookmarks.On the day I opened the link, I posted an advertisement on the official blog of the TV series that was once very shabby (it’s not too shabby now, although the official blog didn’t buy fans, the data is still not enough to see. But because of the popularity of the TV series, the official blog is effective and has many followers It has been repeated several times, and every time the comments below are forwarded, there is much more to say. It is not a zombie fan package).There is a bonus for reposting a set of prizes on Weibo, and the number of reposts on this Weibo broke the record, reaching tens of thousands of retweets.

But the distribution channel staff at that time didn't take it seriously, thinking that most people just wanted to repost free discs for fun.Even if there are tens of thousands of spins, there will only be thousands of people who will buy the DVD collection in the end.So the number of pre-releases has not changed.The forwarding is full of voices such as "get a set" and "want to collect" from actors and drama fans eager to try their best, and the publishers are still unmoved.The distribution channel is the people of Audio Publishing Company. They didn't know that the TV drama official blog didn't buy fans. They thought it was the kind of entertainment industry with a lot of bubbles.

Unexpectedly, within 1 minute after the link went on sale, [-] DVD sets of "The Hero and the Witch" were sold out.At the same time, there are many questioning voices visible to the naked eye under the official blog in seconds: "What the hell? It will be out of stock as soon as you enter it." "I thought two thousand sets was an imaginary number. You really only sell two thousand sets? Are you out of your mind?" ""I've prepared all the money, why don't you sell it?" "My mother, my aunt, and my aunt want it all, but I didn't get one set, how can I explain to them"?

Of course, the most eye-catching among the hot comments, and the one that was instantly praised to the first place was a very loud and fierce question:

"Is it true that our ceramics have no purchasing power?????"

Sorry, I really didn't think so.

After all, it is true that there is no evidence of the peripheral existence of the purchasing power of ceramics.Not to mention those thunder dramas, the box office of "Queen of Guining" cannot be counted as Tao Qingfeng's actual performance. He is a 10-minute male number four.In fact, when the publisher estimated, it was mainly drama fans plus a small part of Du Yue's actor fans (after all, Du Yue is not famous, and her fans' contribution will be limited), and there may not be many Tao Qingfeng fans to buy.

Because I made portraits of Tao Qingfeng fans before, I felt that girls in middle and high school were not the main group of people who consumed such peripherals.They didn't know that Tao Qingfeng's fans had increased significantly in quantity, quality, and level visible to the naked eye.This group of fans was in the bloody stage after watching the drama, gearing up and worrying that they had no place to spend money for Tao Qingfeng.What's more, it is such a good quality TV series Blu-ray collection, and so many free gifts.A few hundred yuan is only a few hot pot meals, and office workers are not stingy.

The publishers grabbed the ground with their heads, trembling, and hurriedly reported to the leaders of the publishing unit.The leader greeted him with a smiley expression, and patted him on the back vigorously: "Stupid? Keep driving, and make a payment reservation instead. Make as many sets as you order."

The pre-sale period is one week, and the number of statistics after the end is 670 sets.four times the estimate.Even though this number seems inconspicuous, it can't keep up with some hot fan books.However, viewers rarely have the habit of buying, and the number of DVDs of TV dramas that have now declined is really a remarkable number—it can be rounded up to tens of thousands.The audio-visual publishing company released [-] sets for auspicious luck, and sold out within three months.In the second half of the year, an additional [-] sets were printed, setting a record for their audio publishing company in the TV drama disc market in the past two years.

And Tao Qingfeng also got some reward-like benefits because of the hot sales of this set of commemorative DVDs and the considerable profits brought to advertisers and investors by the hit broadcast of "The Hero and the Witch". At the celebration banquet, several The boss of an advertiser stuffed him with a few red envelopes from the bottom of his heart.After learning that this was not illegal income, and that the other party had no intentions, it was purely for auspicious luck, just like the company's New Year's bonus, Tao Qingfeng readily accepted it.

There are so many things, he sorted out all the film remuneration, endorsement fees, red envelopes, etc. this year, and there are 600 million yuan.That's not counting the 500 million paycheck for the commercial film he will be filming next month.

Tao Qingfeng took a deep breath. At this rate, the road can be built next year...

When he shared the news with Yan Tan, Yan Tan laughed out loud on the phone: "Big star, the poor teacher asks for support." Tao Qingfeng also smiled on the phone: "Okay, if you are fired, I will take care of you Forever." Yan Tan's voice on the other end of the phone was suddenly silent, and there was no reply for a long time.Tao Qingfeng couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"

Yan Dan can't listen to the word "lifetime", the last life was also a lifetime, he lived such a life separated by yin and yang, the memory still stings when it comes to his mind.

Yan Tan adjusted his voice back to normal, and said softly as if nothing had happened: "It's nothing, come to my house for dinner next week. Meet my parents. I told them last time."

Tao Qingfeng was also diverted from the topic, and when he heard that he was going to meet Representative Yan and his wife, he immediately became nervous and said, "Okay. I, what preparations should I make first? What kind of gifts do they like, and what gifts should I buy..." He He asked seven or eight questions in one breath, all speaking very fast, fully revealing his uncontrollable mood.

Tao Qingfeng can't help but think of the Duke of Yan in his previous life. Although he has basically never dealt with him, it is easy to criticize the old Duke as strict and old-fashioned, with his eyes burned in oil pans and his bones tempered on the battlefield. Not easy to mess with.I don't know if Yan Tan's father is still so difficult to mess with in this life.As for Yan Tan's mother, according to the genealogy, she is the proud daughter of the commercial empire, and she is still in control of the core industry... It sounds even more capable.

Yan Tan comforted: "I'll tell you slowly... don't panic, don't be afraid, I'm here."

————————————————————————

On the day Tao Qingfeng went to meet Yan Tan's parents, for the first time ever, he straightened his hair and sprayed on some fresh and elegant men's cologne.The clothes are also low-key, simple and connotative. From top to bottom, the appearance is almost at the peak of appearance. Walking in the neighborhood, even a female dog will wag her tail with eyes.Yan Dan was stunned when he drove to pick him up - it's not that Tao Qingfeng usually doesn't pay attention to his image, but in Yan Dan's eyes, Tao Qingfeng's appearance, which is usually carved with natural hibiscus in clear water, is already very good-looking, but he just found out today , he can look even better.

Yan Tan said to him with complicated emotions: "You are going to see my parents, not to go on a blind date."

Tao Qingfeng blurted out: "This is more important than a blind date." Seeing Yan Tan's expression, he quickly changed his words, "I mean, I don't need a blind date. My partner is here. Of course, it is more important to make a good impression on my parents-in-law ..." Yan Tan was amused by the words, and they exchanged some practical operations along the way, and corrected the lines: to unify the "friend relationship" between the two, it is necessary to highlight Tao Qingfeng's weight, but not Too eager to avoid revealing the stuffing.Hold on to the expected position of a "righteous friendship" "but very important and cannot be replaced".

The car drove to Yan's villa on the outskirts of the city.The manor covers an area of ​​more than 200 acres. You can't see the border hidden in the hedgerows at a glance, and you can see gardens, open-air swimming pools and other spacious fields.Yan Tan drove to the parking place, there are five connected garages.A man who looked like a butler greeted him in front of him, and Yan Tan led Tao Qingfeng all the way to the villa in the middle, which was more than [-] meters away.Along the way, the garden nurseries on both sides reminded Tao Qingfeng of the charm of the flowing water mats in Duke Yan's mansion back then.

The housekeeper respectfully opened the door of the main hall, Tao Qingfeng took a deep breath and followed Yan Dan into the room.The style of the living room is not vulgar, without a trace of nouveau riche atmosphere, the main color is elegant, and it gives people a profound heritage everywhere.Just the simple and beautiful antiques on the hollow partition shelf are worthless.Yan Tan's parents sat at the main seats in the living room.Representative Yan is nearly sixty years old, but his hair is not much gray, and his eyes are deep.Yan's mother took good care of her, and at a sudden glance, she thought she was only in her early thirties.

Tao Qingfeng held in his hand the gift he bought at Yan Tan's suggestion, and walked forward. He had a lot to say in his heart, and what he wanted to express the most was that he was grateful to Yan Tan for saving his life twice. If you want to repay, you should thank the other party's parents in front of them, and thank them for raising such a good son as Yan Tan.

However, before Tao Qingfeng's upright and grand opening remarks came out, Yan Dan's mother had already stepped forward with a smile, shook hands with Tao Qingfeng, and said with a slightly excited expression:

"Mr. Tao, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm a fan of your drama. Can I sign it?" She held out the DVD box of the Blu-ray commemorative collection as if by magic.

Tao Qingfeng: ...

Tao Qingfeng shook hands with Yan Tan's mother, a "drama fan", with complicated emotions, and still smiled naturally, saying: "It is also my honor to meet you. Teacher Yan saved me several times. I should have come to thank you .It’s just that I couldn’t find time in the group.”

This reason sounds fine now, but what about in the future?Tao Qingfeng anxiously wondered whether Yan Dan's mother would shed tears after knowing the truth: I treat you as an idol, but you rape my son.
