685. One Ride in the Dust

For "Fated I Love You", today is a little special day.

The original two opponents, "Found Love Here" was no longer there when the third episode of "Fate I Love You" was broadcast, and then "Honey Clover" replaced by China Television still did not make much improvement, and now it ranks first in the ratings of idol dramas in the same period.

And in the last episode, the second opponent of "Fate I Love You" "Mischievous Kiss 2" was finally offline, this TV series with excellent results in the first half and the second half was pressed again and again by "Fate", the closing rating was 1.03, and it was finally not pressed below 1, which barely saved the face of this idol drama series.

However, Guotv is still very dissatisfied with this, so what they took out to play against "Fate I Love You" this week is the killer "Basketball Fire" that they have prepared for a long time.

It can be said that this "Basketball Fire" has attracted much attention since the beginning of preparation.

The two male protagonists are Luo Zhixiang, the popular little king of Treasure Island, and F4 Yan Chengxu, who was once popular in Asia, in addition, there is also a cameo appearance of Wu Zun, the façade of the idol group that is currently on fire on Treasure Island.

Although the heroine is not as famous as the male protagonists, she has Zhou Caishi to be pure, and Jiang Yi to be beautiful, all of them are among the best beauties.

It can be said that this group completely brings together the most popular idols on Treasure Island, and the theme is basketball, which has always been very popular in Treasure Island.

Guotv took it out, obviously not to mix the bottom line, but to regain face, and it is bound to fight with "Fate I Love You".

The media has also paid special attention to this 'big war', and has been building momentum for this duel since a week ago, and even started a war of words in newspaper and magazine columns and online blogs for this purpose.

Of course, the media standing on the side of "Fated I Love You" occupies more than eighty percent, after all, the results are there, and they have just broken the record of Treasure Island idol dramas, and the momentum is flourishing, even if "Basketball Fire" has so many Treasure Island idols, but they still feel unrealistic if they want to surpass the drama "Fate".

As for the media on the side of "Basketball Fire", the reasons for sticking to their stance are very complicated, some of them are the media that have been bought by the TV station, and they are brainless and shouting, and some of them are betting on a miracle, in case it succeeds, they can take it out and blow it up.

In Nie Wei's view, "Basketball Fire" is destined to fall at the feet of "Fated I Love You", who let it unlucky to touch the critical period of "Fated I Love You".

Because in the ninth episode, Shi Anna is finally going to return to Ji Cunxi's side.

The secret that Ji Cunxi wants to hide is obviously impossible to hide, and the two daughters will also start a head-to-head showdown, whether Chen Xinyi, who is pregnant with the tenth generation of the Ji family, can stay, or Ji Cunxi's original girlfriend Shi Anna can win, this is obviously quite exciting and worth looking forward to.

The facts are basically the same as Nie Wei's expectations, the plot of "Fated I Love You" officially entered a period of conflict and attracted a large number of audiences, and the new TV series "Basketball Fire", in addition to the support of hardcore fans of several idols, did not cause any trouble to the TV series "Fated I Love You".

After the ratings came out the next day, the results of "Fate I Love You" were not impacted, but still rose, with an average rating of 7.56 and a maximum rating of 9.38.

Although the highest ratings of "Destined I Love You" only increased by 0.03, the average ratings increased by 0.45, judging from this data, this obviously means that there are more and more loyal viewers of this TV series, the plot is very exciting, which is very in line with the audience's appetite, and the adhesion to the audience is very high, so the average ratings have increased significantly when the high ratings have not increased much.

As for the basketball fire, the average rating of the first broadcast was 1.25, and the high rating was only 1.77, which was touted by the media for a week, but it directly announced the exit of one side with a very disparity in results.

And what makes Guoshi distressed is that not only is there a gap in ratings, but even word-of-mouth is polar.

"Fated I Love You" was praised over there, and the audience was shouting that the plot was getting more and more exciting, compared to "Basketball Fire", only one episode was broadcast, and it was sprayed by countless audiences.

Naïve, middle two, brainless plot, etc., all negative labels are attached to the body of the TV series Basketball Fire, and some viewers even ridiculed that this is a TV series, it is simply a live-action version of a hot-blooded comic.

In addition, the acting skills of the two lineups are also the focus of the audience's comparison.

On the side of "Fated I Love You", in the eyes of the audience, it is simply all the acting skills online, especially Chen Qiaoen, who praises her a lot on the Internet.

Many viewers feel that Chen Qiaoen's acting skills have made great progress compared with the period of "The Prince Becomes a Frog", so he is naturally not pretentious, and perfectly interprets what is called a post-it girl in the play, and some people even feel that Chen Qiaoen is the queen of this year's Golden Bell Awards.

But Chen Qiaoen knows very well in her heart that her acting skills have indeed improved, but they are not as exaggerated as netizens say.

The reason why she can act so well is entirely because the acting skills of the actors in the rival play are too good, Cheng Kun is known for his superb acting skills, and Nie Wei is an actor who has won the Golden Horse Actor, and with such a powerful actor, she can naturally give full play to her 100% strength.

And what makes her very grateful to Nie Wei is that she has really a lot of room to play in this idol drama, and it is precisely because of this big space to play that she will become the focus of the audience's appreciation like she is now, it can be said that it is Nie Wei and Cheng Kun who have achieved her current popularity.

In addition to Chen Qiaoen, even the rookie actors Jing Xiangyan and Wang Kai were praised by the audience, especially Wang Kai's sunny appearance and girly acting skills, which made the audience laugh and shouted cute, and even began to have his fan club on the Internet, and there were still a lot of people, and it has exceeded 10,000 people.

Compared with the applause of all the members of "Fated I Love You", "Basketball Fire" was booed enough by the audience after only one episode.

First of all, the acting skills of the actor Yuan Daying Piggy, the audience is polarized, some of them think that Piggy's acting is cute and natural, funny and nonsensical, and handsome and eye-catching, but at the same time, many viewers feel that Piggy's acting skills are too exaggerated, not like acting at all, but like in a variety show.

Some viewers even laughed that Little Pig could win the Best Host Award at the Golden Bell Awards with this TV series.

The other protagonist, Yan Chengxu, has received a lot of 'praise', and the audience feels that Young Master Daomingsi is really suitable for this kind of facial paralysis and cold style, and he can show the essence without acting.

Compared with the evaluation of the male protagonists, the heroine is much better.

Zhou Caishi was praised for her fresh appearance and natural acting skills, although Jiang Yi's acting skills were mediocre, her long legs and sexy complexion made her dazzling as a vase.

It's a pity that compared with "Destined", "Basketball Fire" is a scene around men and basketball, and the heroines perform brilliantly but still account for a small proportion of the plot, which cannot save the acting reputation of this TV series.

A week later, the tenth episode of "Fated I Love You" was broadcast, which also completely broke Guotv's expectations for the new drama.

Ji Cunxi, who is sandwiched between two women in this episode, is in a dilemma, the audience pities Chen Xinyi while scolding Ji Cunxi, and the plot of the conflict helps the ratings rise again, with the average rating reaching 7.89 and the highest rating reaching 9.66.

Compared with "Basketball Fire", the ratings did not rise but fell after the second episode was broadcast, and the average ratings fell directly below 1, with only 0.89 ratings, and the high ratings also became a downward trend, and finally fixed at 1.50.

As soon as this result came out, the national television side basically gave up, and the person in charge of the TV drama department took the initiative to resign that day, and the high-level almost didn't do any face-saving projects and directly approved it, which also means that the other party completely disarmed and surrendered.

But when I thought that "Fated I Love You" could be broadcast for at least three months, the other two TV stations really had a headache, on the contrary, Zhongtiantai was simply ecstatic, and for the first time there was a feeling of raising eyebrows in idol dramas.

And in addition to face, Zhongtiantai has also made a lot of money in terms of income.

Although most of the interests were divided by Nie Wei's Huayi side, the interests left behind were enough for Zhongtiantai to make a lot of money.

Since "Fated I Love You" broke the ratings record, the commercial department of the TV station will now receive countless implantation requests from manufacturers every day, and the increase has even broken the highest price for the implantation of the previous Treasure Island idol drama.

Although Zhongtiantai can only get a small part of it, compared with the past, this income also makes the whole station feel the golden light in front of them, if it is not expected, after the broadcast of this TV series, the income from product placement alone will exceed the total annual income of Zhongtiantai in idol dramas last year.

There will be this comparison, on the one hand, Zhongtiantai's income in idol dramas is a little weak, but on the other hand, the ability of the TV series "Fated I Love You" to attract money is indeed strong enough, so strong that even if it is only a small part of the benefits, it can make Zhongtian make a lot of money.

On the Huayi side, it is already preparing to communicate and negotiate with TV stations in the mainland that want to buy copyrights, according to Wang Zhonglei's estimates, if the first round of exclusive broadcasts in the mainland is expected, it is estimated that it will be sold at an astonishing price, which may exceed 100 million yuan.

For a TV series that is expected to have only 24 episodes, selling 100 million yuan means that one episode of the TV series has a revenue of nearly 5 million, which is definitely a sky-high price for a pure love idol drama.

And under such momentum, "Fated I Love You" also ushered in its eleventh episode.

In this episode, Ji Cunxi's grandmother Ji Wang Pearl stood up and wanted to celebrate her 80th birthday in advance, in order to introduce Chen Xinyi to her relatives and friends and establish the status of Chen Xinyi's young grandmother in Ji's family.

This scene made the audience shout grandma mighty, Chen Xinyi was bullied in the last two episodes, and now she finally has grandma as a backer, and the audience all have a feeling of breath.

And Ji Cunxi's performance still disappointed the audience, in the face of the choice between Shi Anna and Chen Xinyi, Ji Cunxi was still hesitating, but the audience could see that Ji Cunxi's inner balance was actually leaning towards Chen Xinyi.

Ji Cunxi, who had never eaten ginger before, had fallen in love with the taste of ginger unconsciously, and at the same time, in this episode, he finally learned the news that Chen Xinyi almost had a miscarriage, and he was even more guilty in his heart, and he returned home over the wall overnight and saw the pregnancy diary left by Chen Xinyi.

When Ji Cunxi turned to the last page and saw that Shi Anna was the mother who was finally named, Ji Cunxi's eyes instantly turned red.

In the comments of a netizen: "Even if you are a hard-hearted person, you will be moved when you see it." ”

Ji Cunxi's inner monologue faintly revealed his love for Chen Xinyi, and silently helped Chen Xinyi build a small wooden horse, which reflected the warm side.

It's a pity that when the audience raised their inner expectations, in the face of the choice, Ji Cunxi still stood on Shi Anna's side.

However, for Chen Xinyi, he also felt infinite guilt in his heart, so he deliberately revised the divorce contract, wanting to give Chen Xinyi the best guarantee in life.

"What she wants is not money, what she needs is love!!" When Li Xinyi saw this, she couldn't help but post a message on the Internet again.

Because from the beginning of chasing dramas, she understood that this girl named Chen Xinyi has never been a materialistic woman, she would have intended to be her dowry, just to use her own money to buy Ji Cunxi a birthday gift he needs, and she has never spent money lavishly because she is in a wealthy family, her wish is just like the post-it note written in the wishing box at the beginning.

"Hope to find someone who loves me, and I love him too. ”

In the eyes of the audience represented by Li Xinyi, this is Ji Cunxi herself, Chen Xinyi only needs this little wish, what money, what care, she doesn't care.

But what made the audience quickly grit their teeth was that Shi Anna actually took matters into her own hands and gave Chen Xinyi a consent form for an abortion, and also imitated Ji Cunxi's signature, which made Chen Xinyi completely misunderstood.

This scene made all the audience blow up, and there were originally some viewers who felt that Shi Anna was also very aggrieved, but all of them changed and left the scene at this moment.

"How vicious must a woman's mind have to be to come up with such a bad note. ”

"Even if you want to fight for love, you shouldn't joke with your child's life. ”

"I can't wait to rush into the TV now, tear up the consent form, and then give Shi Anna a big mouth, telling her that you are not worthy of Ji Cunxi at all. ”

Under the righteous indignation of everyone, Shi Anna even came to the scene of her grandmother's 80th birthday, wanting to replace Chen Xinyi, and when she saw this scene, the teeth of the angry audience were about to be crushed.

More angry posts appeared on major film and television forums, and while the audience vented their anger, they also made the best publicity for this TV series, and unconsciously, more and more viewers joined the ranks of watching, and in the background of the ratings data statistics company, the ratings curve of "Fate I Love You" came to an upward peak, which made the real-time monitoring statisticians shout incredible.
