Chapter 415: It's rare to plant a "heel" mountain and river drama
In late February, "Serious Case Group 6 4" took over the broadcast of "Family with Children 6".
However, compared with previous seasons, "Serious Case Six Groups 4" ushered in a small trough, although the ratings are acceptable, basically breaking 2 is not a big problem, but the word-of-mouth decline trend is obvious.
The start was still at 8.2, and then it slowly declined, almost approaching 7.5 at the lowest, and then recovered slightly, and only remained around 7.7 points.
It has been a long time since there has been such a low-rated TV series, and the last time it was below 8.0 was Xue Jun's "The Story of the Health Team 2".
It is rare that the mountain and river drama has planted a "heel".
Good guys, those people who are usually suppressed by mountain and river dramas are collectively in a climax.
People who don't know the truth see this scene and think that Zuo Le is hanging up or that Shanhe is bankrupt.
However, just like the last time "Latent" "lost" at the Golden Phoenix Awards, most ordinary viewers are still very calm about it.
The ratings of "Six Groups of Serious Cases 4" broke 2, and although the reputation declined, it definitely belonged to the passing level.
Even among the TV series broadcast in 2023, it has a Douhua score of 7.7, second only to "Family with Children 6", and firmly suppresses other TV series broadcast in January and February, ranking second.
To put it bluntly, "Serious Case Six Group 4" is problematic, but it is not the turn of these peers to chirp.
Their own buttocks haven't been wiped clean yet, even the reputation of "Serious Case Six Group 4" is enough to beat most of the dramas produced by these companies.........
.........
Shanhe still attaches great importance to this matter, and for this "worst word-of-mouth mountain and river drama in recent years", the company also held a special meeting on this.
In this meeting, there was no intention of criticizing and punishing Wang Qian and the main creators of the crew, mainly to find out the shortcomings, find problems, and correct them.
The meeting was presided over by President Yan Kui himself, and was attended by Vice President and Director of Film and Television Production Department Ming Yan, Director of Screenwriting Department Shang Qianwu, some company executives, and directors and producers of "Serious Case Six Group 4".
In addition to this, there are three special guests.
Chairman Zuo Le specially took a half-day leave from the crew of "Mao Liar" and returned to the company to observe.
Kong Sheng, the founder of the "Six Groups of Serious Cases" series, also temporarily put down the preparatory work of "Langya Bang" and participated in the meeting.
There is also Xue Jun, who is temporarily on vacation, and he comes here to learn from the experience and avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, after all, the "Detective Di Renjie" series in his hand is similar to the theme of "Six Groups of Serious Cases".
Frankly speaking, with so many heavyweight participants, it is a very high-level meeting in Shanhe.
waited for the ratings of idle mountain and river dramas to explode, and there were not so many mountain and river bigwigs gathered for a meeting.
On the contrary, this time "Serious Case Group 6 4" planted a "heel", but a large group of people came over for a meeting to study, and it was quite interesting to think about it carefully.
Although it was a discussion at the meeting, it was actually mainly the main creators of "Serious Case Six Group 4" who reflected on the mistakes in filming and production, as well as Zuo Le and Kong Sheng, and analyzed the reasons for the decline in word-of-mouth according to the comments on the Internet.
In fact, before the broadcast of "Serious Case Six Group 4", Shanhe was mostly optimistic, after all, last year's "Serious Case Six Group 3" just set the best ratings in the series, and the reputation was not worse than the previous two.
It stands to reason that at this time, the "Six Groups of Serious Cases" series is on the rise, even if the quality is poor and the results have declined, it should not decline so much.
In this regard, Shanhe is very experienced.
The "Family with Children" series has been released six in a row, although there are small ups and downs, but the overall results are relatively stable.
Another series of more than three TV series "College Students' Stories" has continued to rise in ratings from the first part, and the difference in word-of-mouth is no more than 0.2.
Stability has always been one of the biggest features of the Shanhe series.
Of course, now I am a little slapped in the face by "Serious Case Six Group 4", but this is still secondary, the key is that Shanhe has to understand how he was slapped in the face in order to prevent this from becoming a normal situation.
.........
In fact, the problems of "Serious Case Six Group 4" are not difficult to find, and the audience raised them when they gave bad reviews.
It's just that ordinary viewers may say too generally, or get entangled in a certain plot point, and can't explain the actual problem.
What Zuo Le has to do is to summarize, and then summarize the loopholes in the creation of "Serious Case Six Group 4".
First of all, there is the rhythm of the plot.
Many viewers think that the filming of "Serious Case Six Group 4" is very procrastinating, especially the main plot, and sometimes it is even a little inexplicable.
This is unique in the first three films.
Zuo Le They watched a few episodes of clips and plots in the conference room, and found that this was indeed the case.
In the "Six Groups of Serious Cases" series, the first three plot modes all set up a main line of major cases, as the beginning and the end, in addition to some of the main clues in the middle, the main content is still a unit case.
Of course, when Wang Qian took over "Six Groups of Serious Cases 3", certain changes were made to this model, and it was still the main line + unit, but the proportion of the main line of major cases increased a lot.
For Wang Qian, who was just in charge of the "Six Groups of Serious Cases" series at that time, this was undoubtedly a gamble.
Fortunately, Wang Qian was right at the time.
"Serious Case Six Group 3" was a great success, although it was suspected of rubbing the popularity of Duan Long's "Actors Come to PK", but the good reputation also proved the audience's recognition.
At the same time, it is precisely because of the success of "Six Groups of Serious Cases 3" that Wang Qian is determined that the "Six Groups of Serious Cases" series will continue to use this model, and even in "Six Groups of Serious Cases 4", the share of the plot of the main major cases will continue to increase.
However, the ambitious Wang Qian and the main creators of the crew ignored one thing.
That is, continuing to increase the proportion of the main plot, not only weakening the selling point of the unit cases on which the "Six Groups of Serious Cases" series depends, but also means betting most of the "treasures" on the main plot.
If the main plot is outstanding, then needless to say, everyone is happy, but if the quality of the main plot is average, then it is very likely that there will be a backlash.
Obviously, the main plot selected by "Serious Case Six Group 4" belongs to the latter, especially under the backdrop of Wang Xianmin's case in "Serious Case Six Group 3", which is even more mediocre.
In addition to the average quality of the main plot, "Serious Case Six Group 4" also made an attempt, that is, to add an internal anti-corruption drama of the police to clean up and eradicate internal moths.
This scene did not appear suddenly, it was foreshadowed before, it was briefly mentioned from the second part, and there are related unit cases in the third part, and the audience feedback is not bad.
So in the fourth part, Wang Qian and the screenwriter added relevant plots to the main line.
However, they didn't take into account that the first two similar plots were just a taste, and they didn't revolve around the protagonist group, and in "Serious Case Six Group 4", not to mention this as half of the main line, they also took the protagonist group as a knife.
The six groups of serious cases almost turned against each other because of this, brothers and sisters for many years, bosses and subordinates, stiff and stiff, and cold war of cold war.
From a realistic point of view, the filming is very real, but for such a plot, for old viewers who have been chasing dramas, how can they emotionally accept that the protagonist group who depends on each other for life and death suddenly launched an "internal struggle".
If you want to say that it was this theme from the beginning, the first three key films are all professional dramas that work together to solve cases, and now it is simply a "sudden change in painting style".
In addition, "Serious Case Six Group 4" wants to talk about anti-corruption, but because of concerns about auditing, I don't dare to talk too thoroughly, and the expression is very vague, which is another slot.
It's okay to take out these reasons alone, but the power added together is enough, and "Serious Case Six Group 4" has also overturned a little.
