Chapter 218: Popular all over the country
There are many reasons why "The Night Watchmen of Dafeng" became so popular, but the main reason why it can quickly attract readers' attention at the beginning is undoubtedly the perfect combination of detective stories, suspense plots and fairy tale novels.
And such a plot at the beginning of a TV series is also very attractive to the audience.
Many people watched this drama in front of the TV. Initially, they were attracted by the publicity gimmicks such as "Produced by Jiang Heng", "Cool special effects", and "All-star lineup". However, after watching two episodes, too many people were immersed in the plot and began to look forward to the subsequent plot.
The reason, of course, is that it’s so exciting to watch!
After all, in 05, there were no truly fast-paced and exciting novels.
However, "The Night Watchmen of Dafeng" only took two episodes to complete the plots of the male protagonist "being imprisoned", "solving the case through files", "the truth being revealed", and "the whole family being released from prison".
The last scene is when Xu Xinnian, played by Chen Kun, hangs himself and passes out after becoming socially dead. The phrase "If Heaven had not given birth to Xu Xinnian, the world of Dafeng would have been in darkness forever" became popular across the country overnight.
All the major forums and film and television sections are discussing this drama. The biggest feeling is that I have never seen such a cool plot. It turns out that Director Jiang is not only good at special effects, but also has a very strong storyline design!
At Zhao Liying's home, after watching two episodes, Zhao Liying and Zhao Ru both had rosy faces and couldn't stop smiling.
Because the first female character to appear in this drama is Caiwei, played by Zhao Liying.
In the play, she wears a yellow dress, and her oval face makes her look very cute, her eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, her skin is as white as cream, and her eyes are radiant. In short, she looks very beautiful in the photos.
Zhao Ru couldn't help but say, "Honey, your photos are so beautiful!"
Zhao Liying stretched out her hands and gently touched her cheeks, her eyes bright, and said with a smile: "Really? Why do I feel that the photos don't look like me at all? Maybe the makeup artist is too good!"
"That's because you have a good foundation! You're the first one to appear, so you should be the heroine of this drama, right?"
Because the scripts the actors received were incomplete, the actresses didn't know how many parts the others had, but they still had an idea of how many scenes they had filmed.
Zhao Liying shook her head slightly, "Probably not, but I'm already very happy to be able to appear in the first episode!"
As they were talking, the phone beside them rang. Zhao Liying took a look and said in surprise, "My mom, they must have watched the TV series I starred in!"
After that, he answered the phone and said with a smile, "Mom, did you just finish watching "Dafeng Night Watchmen"? "
"Yeah, you're so beautiful on TV. Your daughter is going to be a big star now!"
Zhao Liying put one hand to her face and said shyly: "Oh, mom, I feel embarrassed when you praise me like that! I am just a small actor now, and I am still far from being a big star!"
"Your uncle, aunt, and uncle all called me and said they just watched the TV series and that Ni is amazing. She even played the leading role and was on CCTV! She will definitely become a big star and make a lot of money in the future!"
Zhao Liying smiled and said, "It's still just a supporting role. I'll keep working hard in the future."
"Ah, shouldn't the heroine be the first to appear?"
Zhao Liying suddenly felt that the room was a little stuffy and didn't know how to explain it.
We chatted for a few more sentences with a smile before hanging up the phone.
She didn't want to talk to Zhao Ru for a while before another call came in. It turned out to be a classmate she hadn't contacted for a long time.
After some enthusiastic congratulations, he hung up.
However, she received more and more calls afterwards, and some people even tried to probe her, asking how much money Zhao Liying could make after filming this drama. The little girl was so scared that she didn't dare to answer the calls.
Zhao Ru made a prompt decision, "Turn off the phone, otherwise there will be no peace tonight!"
"can you?"
"CCTV Channel 8, the whole country has seen the role you played, right? People who don't know you just think that the actress is pretty, but what do your former colleagues, classmates, and people from your hometown think?"
"Uh!" Zhao Liying was only eighteen years old at the time, so she had no idea how to respond. She just felt that what Zhao Ru said seemed to make some sense.
"Then I turn off my phone?"
"Turn it off!" Just as he was about to touch his phone, a call came in with the name "Huang Xiaoming".
"Brother Xiao Ming?"
Zhao Liying was stunned. Although she and Huang Xiaoming had many rival scenes in the film, due to the difference in their status and position, they did not have much contact in private. Huang Xiaoming obviously had a better relationship with Liu Yifei and Yang Mi.
Although I was puzzled, I still answered the phone immediately.
"Hello, Brother Xiao Ming, hello!"
"Hello, Liying, congratulations, you have become well-known to audiences all over the country. I believe that it won't be long before you become famous all over the country!"
Zhao Liying hurriedly said, "Thank you, Brother Xiaoming, I should be the one congratulating you. This drama is so good, you will definitely become a big star!"
Huang Xiaoming chuckled. He called not to listen to this, but to remind Zhao Liying.
"By the way, have you called Director Jiang?"
"Ah, call him?" Zhao Liying subconsciously thought of two words: I dare not!
"Yes, you were able to star in this drama because of Director Jiang's appreciation. Now that the drama has premiered, the response has been very good. I have to give him a call to express my gratitude!"
Zhao Liying suddenly realized and said gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Xiaoming, thank you, Brother Xiaoming, I will call him right away!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Liying couldn't help but sigh, "Brother Xiao Ming is such a nice person. If he hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have dared to have this idea!"
Zhao Ru nodded. "I can't think of that either. After all, Director Jiang is too high-level. I just want to call him to thank him, but I don't have any contact information! I'll call..."
Zhao Liying said timidly: "Well, actually when I first arrived at the company, Director Jiang gave me his personal cell phone number!"
Now it was Zhao Ru's turn to be dumbfounded. As an assistant, she knew that Zhao Liying had no private connection with Jiang Heng. After she finished acting in "Dafeng Night Patrol", she didn't get any good resources. She was just arranged to play supporting roles in some TV dramas.
It can be said that apart from the better house I was given, I didn't receive any special care.
Zhao Ru never thought that Zhao Liying actually had Jiang Heng's private phone number.
"You didn't say anything at all!"
"You, didn't ask!" Zhao Liying said aggrievedly.
"Go ahead and fight, go ahead!" Zhao Ru became happy again and seemed to think this was very interesting.
Zhao Liying dialed Jiang Heng's number and heard that the person on the other end was already on the phone. She was so scared that she quickly hung up the phone.
"Oh, it's over, it's over. Director Jiang is calling. I hope he won't be angry!"
Zhao Ru was also a little timid, "No, can I?"
The two girls became worried instantly, but within two minutes, Jiang Heng called them.
"It's over, it's over. Director Jiang will definitely come to call me to task!" Zhao Liying covered her head with her hands and said pitifully.
Zhao Ru said with a bitter face, "Hurry up and answer it!"
"Oh!"
Zhao Liying smiled sweetly before answering the phone, "Hello, Director Jiang!"
The voice that came from the other end was, "Congratulations, Ying Bao, many people called me and asked where I found such a good actress. Haha, I said I met her on the street, and they were all so envious!"
Zhao Liying felt dizzy for a moment and thought to herself, "He actually called me Yingbao?"
