Climb To the Top - Chapter 172
After the four directors took their seats, they entered the first session to announce the actual playback volume of the four micro-movies in the third issue on Apple.com.
The host A Bao was wearing a long green dress, sweet but with a charm of her own. She held a hand card and announced.
“The first part of this program will announce the first month’s webcast volume of the four micro-movies shot in the third period as usual.”
“The work “Southern Expedition” directed by Zhangqiu was released on Apple Video Network, with a total of 430 million movie views.”
“The tattoo artist, directed by Lu Qian, was released on Apple Video Network, with a total of 470 million movie views.”
“The Green Willow Residence” directed by Qi Lanyue was released on Apple Video Network, with a total of 520 million movie views”
“The work “Green Tea and the Rogue” directed by Jiang Ting was released on Apple Video Network, with a total of 560 million movie views.”
Starting from the third micro-movie, the level of the four-person directed film has risen sharply. Even Zhangqiu, who had filmed the first bad movie “The Future of the Apostles” on the show, has done his best to clean up his own dark history in this issue. “Southern Expedition” is a new film that he has carefully polished.
Although his works in this issue are the last in the number of webcasts, but from the data point of view, the gap with the works of Jiang Ting, the first place, is not very big, only a gap of 100 million. Counting the first few episodes, the gap between the first and last place in the number of broadcasts often lasted between four or five billion, which is enough to see the increase in the overall level of micro-films in the third phase.
Jiang Ting’s “Green Tea and the Rogue” once again won the number one broadcast with the voice assist of director Zhang Feilong, but she was not happy.
Because,
“Congratulations to Director Jiang, who once again won the title of the most popular movie in the audience’s heart with the first place among the four micro-movies. Please invite Director Jiang to come to the stage.”
Jiang Ting was a little helpless, but the program flow was like this, she had to step up and cooperate with A Bao to help the program team promote the gold master father.
This time Jiang Ting took the big turntable. I don’t know if the brand knew that the four directors were shooting a big movie next time. This time, the money was even more. Jiang Ting took a thousand Ten thousand.
These investments will be realized in the future. Free investment in Jiang Ting’s big screen movies is better than nothing. Jiang Ting accepts it with a smile. And for the sake of more money than last time, she also said a lot of praise for the brand side, which made the representative of the gold owner’s father extremely satisfied, and even made it clear that if Jiang Ting was short of investment, he would come to them at any time.
Producer of “Director’s Project”, Producer Li just stayed aside to watch the recording of the show. When he saw that the brand wanted to poach their Apple TV cash cow, he was in a hurry. Without saying a word, let the director team deliver a message to A Bao.
“A Bao, quickly get the brand representative down, don’t let him pester Director Jiang. If the other party doesn’t get down, get Director Jiang down first, anyway, don’t let the two continue to chat already.”
Who doesn’t know that Jiang Ting is now a cash cow. Various investors in the circle once ignored Jiang Ting’s love. Only Apple TV insisted on investing in Jiang Ting’s films. Now I see people with new special effects technology in hand, knowing that making a movie will not lose money, and then rushing to pick peaches, thinking of beauty.
Producer Li and the person in charge of Apple TV can’t wait to spit these shameless people directly.
Fortunately, Po is very smart. After being instructed, he quickly separated the two and sent them away separately.
When she left, the brand representative was still reluctant to part with Jiang Ting, but Jiang Ting stepped down with a happy face. Seeing this scene, Producer Li breathed a sigh of relief. It’s okay, it’s okay, Director Jiang didn’t run away.
The first part is over, and the part of asking out the flight instructor is entered.
However, the two flight instructors who appeared in this issue not only made the audience boil, but also made all the actors in the background stand up.
“My mother, am I blind?” Bai Bi rubbed her eyes, almost thinking she was blind.
“Who’s here? My God, why is he here? Isn’t he never on variety shows?” Bo Xi excitedly shook Qiao Nan’s arm, which made Qiao Nan couldn’t help flipping rolled his eyes.
“Director Qin Xiang is here too?” Yin Yunge murmured.
On the main stage, A Bao raised his high-pitched voice and said loudly.
“Let’s invite the two most important flight instructors in this issue.”
“The first flight instructor guest is a national first-class director, who has won all domestic A-level and above best director awards such as my country’s Golden Crane Award, Jinhua Award, Bailing Award, etc. The first director who has collected the best director awards from the three major foreign film festivals, and the first and only director Zhang Feilong in China to win the best director award of the Golden Angels abroad, let us welcome Director Zhang.”
After A Bao finished speaking, he continued to introduce the second person.
“The second flight instructor guest is also a national first-class director in my country. She is the first female Grand Slam winner in my country to win the Best Director Award at A-level and above, including three gold awards. Director Qin Xiang, who won the Best Director Award at the three major foreign film festivals, let us Director Qin come.”
The two walked side by side and appeared from the backstage. In the middle, Director Zhang was fashionable for a while. He stretched out his hand to invite Director Qin. , but like a child, smiling very happily.
After coming to the stage, the two greeted the audience.
“Hello everyone, I’m Qin Xiang, long time no see, how are you all?”
“Hello audience, I’m Zhang Feilong. This is the first time I’ve participated in this kind of show. If I didn’t participate well, please forgive me. Please bear with me.”
Listening to the self-introductions of the two, Po couldn’t hide his excitement.
“Welcome to Director Zhang and Director Qin, it’s a great honor for you two to come to our show, you can play whatever you want today, I believe the show team won’t mind, just feel that Pengpi Shine bright.”
“In addition, I grew up watching the movies you made since I was a child, and I was so excited. If it wasn’t for the show, I would really like to ask you to sign me.”
Qin Xiang looked at the hostess in front of her and smiled.
“If you don’t dislike it, the recording of the program is over. I can sign it for you. I wonder if Director Zhang is willing?”
Director Zhang gave a hearty smile.
“Is there anything I want to do? It’s just signing a name. I can do it anytime.”
A Bao was so happy that he covered his mouth, wishing to roar wildly on the stage, the actors in the backstage were dying of sourness.
“Mom, I can’t take it anymore. Director Qin Xiang signed her autograph, and Director Zhang Feilong agreed to sign her. God, why didn’t I take the host exam?”
“I’m really envious.”
“Ah, ah, the gods and goddesses I grew up with, to be able to stand on the same stage with them one day, it’s so dreamy.”
…
The appearance of director Qin Xiang made Jiang Ting’s face a little more joyful, but then she thought of the new director who replaced Qi Lanyue in the show. She turned her head and saw that Director Wei’s face didn’t seem very good.
Jiang Ting thought about it, and just looked at him with a genial look, why did Director Qin and Director Zhang immediately droop their faces when they appeared? Could it be that the new director followed the two flight instructors What’s up with the director? Who are you having a holiday with? Jiang Ting thought to himself.
Soon, the two flight instructors took their seats, but this time they were not like Qi Xinya and Luo Xian sitting in another area.
The program team added two chairs directly among the four directors.
One is between Jiang Ting and Lu Qian, the other is between Wei Mingming and Zhangqiu, and the middle is still a wider aisle.
The two directors came to the middle to push each other.
“You choose first!” Qin Xiang said with a smile.
“You go first, you go first, Lao Zhang, I will let you.” Zhang Feilong said, and didn’t mind where he sat.
“Then I can choose first, don’t blame me.”
“Choose!”
Director Qin Xiang quickly walked to the seat between Jiang Ting and Lu Qian. She greeted Lu Qian first. The two had a good relationship and hugged each other.
“Old Lu, thank you for taking care of Jiang Ting.”
“You’re welcome.”
After the two greeted each other, Jiang Ting hurriedly ran over, took Qin Xiang’s arm, and said.
“Aunt Qin, why are you here?”
“I don’t worry about you, come and have a look.” Qin Xiang said in a low voice.
“Don’t worry about me?” Jiang Ting was stunned, she didn’t think she had anything to worry Qin Xiang.
Qin Xiang saw her doubts and hurriedly shook her head at her.
“More on that later.”
After all, the camera is still facing a few people, it is really difficult to speak.
“Your name is Zhangqiu? You are really young and promising.” Zhang Feilong in his sixties said that Zhangqiu in his forties was young and promising. Although he felt that what he said was true, how could he The more I hear it, the more it feels wrong!
Zhangqiu on the far left saw that Zhang Feilong took the initiative to greet him, he was a little flattered and quickly replied.
“Don’t dare to be, Director Zhang, you are my idol, I like you very much.”
“Hahaha, you are also Director Zhang, although we are not the same last name.”
Zhangqiu smiled more earnestly, and hurriedly continued to chat with each other.
The two were chatting with enthusiasm, without any intention of pulling Wei Mingming to chat together. Wei Mingming on the side was thinking about how to say hello to Zhang Feilong, but he didn’t expect that the other party ignored him directly and chatted with Zhang Qiu hotly. The smile on his face suddenly froze, and then he said in a cold voice.
“Old Zhang, are you going too far? Can’t you see someone my age standing here, blind?”
“Aiyo, didn’t this chat with this director Zhang a few more words? Look at you, and be careful? It’s been so many years, why haven’t you changed your mind? !” Zhang Feilong said quickly upon seeing this.
Zhangqiu next to him was a little embarrassed. He felt quite inexplicable. Didn’t Director Zhang greet him first? Why did Director Wei look like he was eating explosives, which made him a little uncomfortable. Feel free.
“Hehe, who cares?”
“I, I, I, I’m careful, okay!” Zhang Feilong quickly apologized.
Wei Mingming looked at Zhangqiu with a strange expression on his face, forcibly restrained his anger, and explained to Zhangqiu.
“That, Zhangqiu, I’m not mad at you. You don’t know our Director Zhang…” He was about to talk about Zhang Feilong’s problems when he was interrupted by Zhang Feilong.
“Alright, alright, I’ve greeted you, don’t embarrass Director Zhangqiu.”
Zhangqiu’s liking for Director Zhang Feilong immediately increased greatly. He just felt that Director Zhang Feilong’s reputation as a leader in the directing industry was not a false name. Look at how authentic he is, and he is more considerate of others. .
Wei Mingming suffered a dull loss and really didn’t know how to scold this idiot.
To say that the relationship between him and Zhang Feilong is okay, but every time Wei Mingming runs into him, there is nothing good, it’s just strange.
This is not the first time, if it weren’t for the old friendship of more than 40 years, let him know that Zhang Feilong is this dead temper, he really doubts that the other party is intentional.
Anyway, Wei Mingming has never been in the hands of Zhang Feilong, which is why Qin Xiang knew that Wei Mingming ran to replace Qi Lanyue to participate in the show, and she had to pull Zhang Feilong to the show together, except for him No one can cure Wei Mingming, not even Qin Xiang can tell him.
