681. Unprecedented rate of progress
Unlike the mainland, in the mainland, Huayi's idol dramas have no serious competitors.
However, Baodao is different, the development of idol dramas here is many years earlier than that of the mainland, there is a very mature market, and each TV station also has its own production team specializing in idol dramas.
At the same time as "Fated I Love You", there are two idol dramas being released, one is "Find Love Here" from China Television.
and the other is "Mischievous Kiss 2" from National TV.
"I Found Love Here" is nothing, it has been five episodes since it was released, and the ratings have never exceeded 1, but it is National Television's "Mischievous Kiss 2", which is undoubtedly a strong enemy of "Destined I Love You".
The reason why "Love Found Here" is so poor, in addition to its mediocre production, is actually because it was suppressed by "Mischievous Kiss 2" at the same time.
After all, this idol drama is an orthodox sequel inherited from Baodao's high-reputation and high-rated "Mischievous Kiss", not only continuing most of the starring lineup in the first part, but also in terms of its own quality, it is also a number of excellent works, plus this idol drama is adapted from the popular comic of the same name, the fan base is very strong, and it has maintained the first position in the same period since its release.
If this is okay, but "Fated I Love You" is facing "Mischievous Kiss 2", which has already entered the climax stage of the plot, and when the other party is gaining momentum, even Zhongtiantai is very optimistic about Nie Wei's idol drama, but in fact, he has also sweated for his debut results.
However, these worries all disappeared the moment the ratings of the premiere of "Fated I Love You" came out.
The average rating is 97, the highest rating is 11, and the same period ranks undisputed first, and "Mischievous Kiss 2", which originally maintained an average rating of about 3, has dropped sharply because of the premiere of "Fate I Love You", falling to 16.
Looking at "Found Love Here" again, the ratings that night were even more pitiful, only 47 percent, and it was obviously not far from being cut.
For this result, Nie Wei is happy, but he is not complacent, because Nie Wei knows very well that he can achieve this good result, mainly because of the popularity of himself and Cheng Kun.
In addition, the news popularity of this idol drama before the start of filming is very high, which further attracts the curiosity of the audience, and the next few episodes are the critical period for "Fate I Love You" to accept the test of the market.
Nie Wei thinks it's a normal achievement, but for the entertainment industry of Baodao, this is big news.
"Nie Wei's new drama "Destined" landed on the championship of the ratings, and the first in the same period is unbeatable!"
"The premiere broke 5, and "Destined" is creating a miracle of idol dramas on the treasure island. ”
""Fated I Love You" started broadcasting and staged a big oolong, detonating the ratings!"
"'Fated I Love You' defines 'post-it note girl' and has caused a huge social impact. ”
The entertainment version of the day left a place for "Destined", and the ratings of the first broadcast were able to break 5, which is the strongest record in the history of Treasure Island idol dramas, although I don't know what kind of results this idol drama can achieve in the future, but this opening ratings record is enough to be recorded in the history of Treasure Island idol dramas.
The whole Tiantai was naturally happy about this achievement, and the waist board that was originally in the idol drama was instantly straightened.
Facts have proved that the cooperation with Huayi or Nie Wei is the wisest decision they have ever made, although this cooperation will give up a lot of benefits, but compared with the other families who can only watch this cake eat in the past, now they can finally enjoy this cake, and as soon as they come, they will squeeze out many seemingly powerful competitors before, and occupy the main position with the attitude of hegemon.
The most critical time, the viewers brought by the success of this idol drama, in the process of chasing the drama, some of them will subtly become loyal users of Zhongtiantai, and as long as this cooperation with Huayi is maintained, then there will be more and more of these users, which is the long-term benefit of the TV station, and even the key to survival and even development and growth.
But for opponents, this is not a good thing.
The atmosphere of the TV drama department of National Television was extremely heavy that day, and the main creator of the crew was notified early in the morning to come to the TV station for a meeting to discuss how to deal with the impact of "Fate I Love You".
When Qu Youning, the director of "Mischief 2", arrived in the conference room, the person in charge of the TV drama department of National Television couldn't wait for him to sit down, so he immediately asked.
"Do you think "Mischievous Kiss 2" has any chance to come back?"
Hearing this question, Qu Youning paused, stood in front of his chair, his face was full of confusion, and only after a while did he reply: "I will work hard." ”
Hearing this answer, everyone at the scene showed a look of loss.
is just the word 'hard work', in fact, you can hear that Qu Youning's inner confidence is very insufficient, otherwise it shouldn't be 'hard work', it should be 'confidence'.
Looking at everyone's disappointed expressions, Qu Youning also couldn't say anything, and called Qu for his bad luck.
In fact, although "Mischievous Kiss 2" has suffered some criticism since its launch, the overall reputation is still good, and the results are also very good, except for the first few episodes, it has always maintained the first place in the same period.
But who would have thought that he would encounter an idol drama like "Fated I Love You".
Qu Youning also watched the first episode of this TV series, and he also had to admit that such an 'oolong start' was really creative, breaking the step-by-step love process of traditional idol dramas from confession to holding hands to kissing, and directly came to a 'home run', which is expected to come anyway.
This practice of getting on the bus first and then making up the ticket really made Qu Youning sigh all night.
From this beginning, Qu Youning can conclude that as long as the back is not written too badly and played normally, the results of this idol drama will not be bad, let alone the collapse of the writing? Qu Youning feels that this possibility is really small, after all, the screenwriter's name is Nie Wei, and the meaning of these two words is definitely very important for the entertainment industry of Baodao.
After all, the best screenwriter of the Golden Horse Awards for so many years has been won by the person behind this name, it can be said that in the eyes of Baodao entertainment people, Nie Wei is the spokesperson of the gold medal screenwriter.
If it's just the plot, forget it, after all, "Fated I Love You" has just begun, and his "Mischievous Kiss 2" has already reached the key part, which is the advantage, but the cast of the show "Destined" has wiped out all the advantages of "Prank 2".
Although "Mischief 2" has a little diva like Lin Yichen and a popular student like Zheng Yuanchang, compared with the starring lineup of "Fated I Love You", it is not too bad.
The popularity of Cheng Kun, the second male lead in "Destined I Love You", is more than the popularity of Lin Yichen and Zheng Yuanchang combined, not to mention that the male number one in "Destined" is played by a top Asian actor like Nie Wei.
The heroine is not ordinary, although Chen Qiaoen's popularity is not as good as Lin Yichen in Baodao, but this woman seems to be particularly lucky, and the ratings of all the idol dramas she participated in are very good, and this 'luck' alone is enough to make Qu Youning envious.
So as to whether he can win the throne of the championship of ratings, Qu Youning really has no bottom.
"Director Qu will arrange the filming schedule when he goes back, we will arrange for the leading actors Lin Yichen and Zheng Yuanchang to appear on more variety shows, and we can also hold meet-and-greets for TV drama fans in several major counties and cities, I hope this will help the TV series. A TV station executive sighed and said.
These words seem to give a solution, but in fact it is just a helpless way, this way is tantamount to drinking water to quench thirst, it can only play a temporary role, and it may not be useful.
Qu Youning returned to the crew to continue to catch up with the schedule, after all, if you want to give the starring time to promote, you must speed up the shooting.
With Qu Youning leaving, the first meeting was also announced, but the discussion on how to save the ratings of his TV station's idol drama did not end.
In the office of the head of the TV drama department, several supervisors gathered together, all with sad faces.
"Do you want to try to discredit the other party?" said a man with a hideous face.
Hearing this person's words, many people's eyes lit up and showed a heartbeat, but the person in charge of the TV drama department just frowned and denied it.
"It's not proper, not to mention that we don't have any handle in each other's hands, even if there is, you have to consider the opponent, it's not just Zhongtiantai, but also Huayi Company, if we use small actions, it will affect the relationship between us and Huayi Company, if we want to seek cooperation with Huayi in the future, this will become a big obstacle. ”
In his opinion, the cooperative relationship between Huayi and Zhongtiantai is obviously not long-term, and if his TV station can offer a higher weight, it may not be able to pull Huayi over.
Of course, the most important thing at the moment is to think about how to deal with the impact of the TV series "Fated I Love You", after all, this TV series has only aired the first episode, according to the standards of idol dramas, this TV series with great ratings will generally shoot about 20 episodes, which can be played for five months.
If you can't come up with any good solutions in the past five months, then there is no doubt that these five months will be the days when your department is in dire straits.
"I can't wait, let's prepare for the next idol drama, we have to invite more important stars to star, find it for me, and find it for me at any cost. In the end, the person in charge of the TV drama department made a ruthless decision, since "Mischief 2" has surpassed hopelessness, it is better to look forward to the new TV series, maybe it will be able to create a miracle.
As for Huashi, which has the worst grades on the other side, they are a lot calmer, because they are ready to directly cut the idol drama "Found Love Here".
"How many episodes has this TV series been filmed now?"
"Eight episodes. ”
"Then tell the writers and directors that the ten episodes are over. ”
"Understood. ”
It only took ten minutes for China Television to make this decision from beginning to end, but when the news was notified to the crew, it was like a bolt from the blue for the crew.
After hearing this notice, several young actors simply hugged each other and cried bitterly, but the director did not cry, but the frustration on his face was so obvious that everyone couldn't help but sigh after seeing it.
"Yan Xi, don't be sad, who made our opponent Nie Wei?" Wang, who played the second male lead in this idol drama, passed a pack of tissues to the girl he cooperated with the most in this drama, and comforted him.
The girl was still crying, but she listened to Wang Chuan's words in her ears, and the name of Nie Wei was deeply rooted in her mind, this person was the first time she experienced a TV series and was cut in half, and she was afraid that she would never forget this name for the rest of her life.
On the other hand, Zhou Yumin, the male number one who is the pillar of the show, heard the news, his face instantly gloomy, and then left the set directly in the nanny car.
Seeing this, the staff hurriedly informed the director, after all, the shooting task has not been completed today, what should I do if the protagonist runs away?
But after hearing the news of Zhou Yumin's departure, the director opened his mouth several times, but did not say a word, and finally turned into a sigh, and waved his hand helplessly to the crew, indicating that it didn't matter.
From the director's point of view, now that the hearts of the crew have been dispersed, the team can't go on, and even he himself has no heart to film, the halving of this drama directly affects his reputation, will there be a TV station looking for him to film in the future?
When all the opponents were in a gloomy mood, the atmosphere of the crew of "Fated I Love You" was simply sunny.
All the staff members were smiling, and the actors were even more out of the play, so they got together and chatted excitedly, after all, yesterday's premiere directly broke 5, and everyone was happy.
The whole crew presents a relaxed and upward atmosphere, and the good mood also makes everyone in a better state when acting, especially for newcomers like Jing Xiangyan and Wang Kai, good results give them a lot of confidence, and the more they can play the act, the more they can give full play to their own strength.
Time passed little by little, and before I knew it, another week had passed, and "Fate I Love You" would also usher in the second episode.
On this day, many friends tuned the TV to Zhongtiantai early to wait, after the broadcast of the first episode, a large number of fans of this TV series have appeared on the Internet, compared with the people who paid attention to the TV series because they paid attention to the stars in the play, they are all viewers who have paid attention to the TV series itself.
And the content of the second episode of "Fated I Love You" did not disappoint them.
The plot of the two meeting again after separation is not unusual, but then the development of the plot is beyond the expectations of all audiences, no matter what they want to think of, they can't think of it, I originally thought that the first episode of the 'home run' was already beyond imagination, but I didn't expect that just ten minutes after the second episode aired, the plot announced that your favorite heroine post-it note girl Chen Xinyi was pregnant.
