I’m Really a Superstar

Hang up the phone from Hu Fei.

Before boarding the plane there, Zhang Ye received another unexpected call from Chen Guang's wife, the famous singer Fan Wenli.

"Director Zhang, are you busy?" Fan Wenli seemed to be on the street.

Zhang Ye smiled and said, "I'm not busy. I'm waiting to get on the plane. What's wrong, Sister Fan?"

Fan Wenli sounded a little embarrassed, "There is something I need to tell you first. I discussed it with Lao Chen, and Lao Chen also asked me to say hello to you first."

Zhang Ye was startled, "Huh? What's the matter?"

Fan Wenli said: ""Dancing" invited me to join the cast, and I agreed."

Zhang Ye really didn't expect this. Why did he invite Fan Wenli to the dance show? There should be a more suitable candidate, right? After all, Fan Wenli is the eldest sister in the music industry. Although she is very popular and can do a simple dance, it has little to do with dancing, right?

But after thinking about it, Zhang Ye was relieved. What does it matter if he is a dance major? In fact, how many viewers who actually go to see "Dancing" in the future really understand the art of dance? Among the many dance talent shows in Zhang Ye's world, not to mention singers, even crosstalk actors have joined as judges and teachers of dance shows. It mainly depends on popularity and stage temperament. Fan Wenli is beautiful and can also Dance a few times, regardless of whether it is professional or not, you always have good eyesight. After all, you are an artistic star who has climbed to this level. He was also a teacher before, so your skills in this area are not too bad. "Pian Pian" "Dance" found her to join the cast. Moreover, Fan Wenli is also a guest mentor on CCTV's just-concluded prestigious variety show "The Voice". They invited her to join. Xu Yipeng and Chen Ye also wanted to use Fan Wenli to attract and extend the audience of "The Voice". Smooth transfer.

All things considered, Lao Fan is really a good candidate.

Of course, it can also be seen that the "Dancing" column team must have failed to invite Zhang Yuanqi, otherwise they would not have settled for Lao Fan.

Zhang Ye smiled and said: "How much will it cost? We won't go if it's less."

"It's almost the same as "The Voice"." Fan Wenli said sarcastically.

Zhang Ye nodded, "That's fine. Why do you need to say hello to me? "Dancing" should have good ratings, and the promotion will be lively. Being a guest teacher will also help your popularity, and the franchise fee is quite high. Why don’t you go?”

Fan Wenli said: "Everyone knows that you and Chen Ye have a bad relationship, and they have fought on Weibo. Besides, if this incident hadn't happened, this show should have been yours, so..."

Zhang Ye interrupted: "Hey Sister Fan,

Come on, okay? We've been together for a long time. I'm just such a petty person in the eyes of you and Lao Chen, right? "

Fan Wenli also smiled when she heard this, "That's not the case."

"Isn't this the end?" Zhang Ye really didn't take it seriously at all, and joked: "Just go ahead and do it in a down-to-earth manner, but don't work too hard for them, it's almost enough. Those people don't There are a few good things, but they don’t appreciate your efforts.”

Fan Wenli was happy, "I feel relieved to hear you say that, but if you hadn't left, even if the franchise fee was doubled, I would actually be willing to appear on the show directed by you."

Zhang Ye immediately said: "Don't worry, Sister Fan, we will have many opportunities for cooperation in the future."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Ye shook his head and smiled, another assumption of "what if I hadn't left"? He had heard this several times in a short period of time.

Walk?

Of course he didn't leave, it's just that everyone thought he was gone. All the media, peers and viewers thought that after he was thrown to the CCTV Documentary Channel, he lost the qualification to compete with other variety shows for the ratings championship, and automatically gave Zhang Ye the "ignored". But Zhang Ye had never thought so. Who said that if you want to get ratings and become the national ratings champion for the same time period, you must have a variety-type entertainment TV program? Are all TV program types except variety shows ineligible to compete for the ratings championship?

hehe.

Maybe that was the case before, but not necessarily in the future!

Zhang Ye is going to tell everyone this time and compete for the ratings championship? Documentaries work too! Wait until the day "Bite of Tongue" is aired, and you will be shocked!

Front.

Zhang Zuo turned around, probably hearing Zhang Ye's words, "Director Zhang, has Teacher Fan Wenli also joined "Dancing"?"

Other members of the "Tongue" crew also came over.

Zhang Ye had nothing to hide and said humbly, "I'm sure, Lao Fan called me to let me know."

"Sister Fan really went?"

"Damn, their lineup is too strong!"

"With Teacher Fan joining the cast, the popularity of "The Voice" will be continued by them!"

"Director Zhang, are we just going to do this and watch?"

"Yeah, I'm so unwilling! It's so irritating!"

"What can we do if we don't watch? We are now reduced to making documentaries! We can no longer compete with them in the ring! We don't even have tickets now!"

"How annoying!"

Everyone was talking to each other, and the feeling of being robbed of their program was uncomfortable in itself. What made them even more uncomfortable was that the people who robbed their program were still showing off on the TV media every day, even if they didn't want to be invisible!

Zhang Ye, however, was very calm and said: "Okay, don't complain. They are tormenting them and we are filming ours. There is no conflict. I just thought about the itinerary and added one more scene to record in Wuyi Mountain. Then Don’t be in a hurry, just record it in the last scene.”

Zhang Zuo was stunned, "Director Zhang, co-authoring the previous planning project is only half of the content?"

Zhang Ye chuckled and said: "Anyway, we are not short of money, so we can shoot a few more episodes."

Zhang Zuohan said: "Ten million is a lot, but at this rate, I'm afraid ten million won't be enough. Are we going to make a large-scale documentary?"

"The money is about the same, I know it in my mind." Zhang Ye said.

In the past, Zhang Ye's plan for Yan Tianfei and his men was to cover the content of the first season of "A Bite of China". Because the outbreak of Lucky Halo gave them 10 million in production funds, Zhang Ye changed the plan at that time. He is preparing to shoot the second season of "Bite of the Tongue" at the same time. The tasks have doubled and the scenes have doubled, so these days he is increasing the schedule bit by bit, and the three filming teams are the same.

As for how to integrate "Tongue Tip 1" and "Tongue Tip 2"? Zhang Ye has already made plans. The simplest way is to reduce the humanistic scenes in "Bite of the Tongue 2". The difference between the first season and the second season is actually not big. The only difference is the intensity of displaying the humanistic scenes. The second season has much more content. Some netizens commented that "Tiangue 2" is not as good as the first season because there are too many humanistic descriptions and less food. Let's not say that this point of view is not objective. Since "Tiangue" 1 and "Tiangue" are going to be released in one go 2" were all filmed into one film, so the overall integrity cannot be too abrupt. Food is the most fundamental selling point of the "Bite of the Tongue" series, so Zhang Ye must let "Bite of the Tongue 2" accommodate it. Maybe this small The changes will actually bring the ratings to a higher level.

The ratings of "The Voice" are incredible. It has set many records in this world, and it has also won the title of No. 1 variety show in the country. Everyone was amazed, but Zhang Ye was the only one who was not so satisfied. Although he was not so satisfied, I know that the two worlds cannot be compared, but the ratings of "The Voice" on this earth are still much worse than those on his previous earth. This is caused by various reasons such as the variety show environment and viewing habits. It is useless to say this now. . Zhang Ye's current expectations for ratings are all focused on "Bite of the Tongue"!

No more “discounts”!

This time, "Bite of the Tongue" must be foolproof. Zhang Ye even hopes that "Bite of the Tongue" can perform at a super level on this earth. It has the ability and the conditions!

In the past, the first part of "A Bite of the Tongue" was very slow to gain popularity, and its ratings were extremely low at the beginning. Later, it exploded due to its amazing reputation. By the time of the second part of "A Bite of the Tongue," the ratings reached a peak. But one thing to note is that Zhang Ye was once the world's "Bite of Tongue", but it had no publicity, no stars, insufficient funds, and even a poor broadcast time. On this point, Zhang Ye was not going to copy it exactly!

publicity?

I'll give you publicity!

No stars?

I will do the narration and dubbing of "Bite of the Tongue" myself!

Not enough funds?

I used more money than the original version to smash the lenses one by one to make the pictures more perfect!

Broadcast time?

When "Dancing" is broadcast during prime time, we will broadcast it at that time!

I'll give you whatever you want, and I'll supplement whatever you don't have. Zhang Ye has no other extravagant demands, he just hopes that the ratings of "Bite of the Tongue" will explode in one go!

With this expectation and persistence, the filming work began in an orderly manner!

Along the way, various things happened frequently, equipment malfunctioned, people were injured, the plane was delayed and unable to take off, the film crew was trapped in the mountains due to weather, and so on. Zhang Ye and his team overcame it one by one. But he never relaxed about every shot. It could even be said to be harsh. Many shots were already very good. Even Tong Fu and Huang Dandan, who were professional documentaries working at Channel 14, thought it was perfect, but Zhang Ye didn't know. For some reason, I always feel that it won’t work. Sometimes I will reshoot a scene dozens of times. Once I went out on a boat to record a fishing scene. There was a group of scenes that I even recorded more than 30 times but couldn’t get it right. Finally, I waited until the weather cleared up the next day. When the sun came out, I completed the recording of that set of shots. It can be said that no flaws were allowed to appear!

This is Zhang Ye's attitude towards art and the meaning of his existence as chief director.

Documentaries are not like variety shows. The latter is entertainment, but the former is art, and it is not acceptable at all!

…

Two months flew by in the blink of an eye.

Late November.

Winter is here, the weather is cooling down, and it’s snowing in many places.

The second film crew in Anhui was the first to complete the shooting task. Almost at the same time, the third film crew in Jiangsu also completed all their filming work!

same day.

Zhang Ye and his first camera crew recorded the last set of shots of the Wuyi Mountain trip!

As Zhang Ye called it a day with excitement, everyone cheered!

"Finished!"

"it is finally over!"

"I bought it! I'm so tired!"

"I can go home! Long live!"

"Two months! It's finally finished!!"

Everyone in the film crew almost burst into tears. It's not easy for them these days!
