Chapter Seventy-Nine: Soaring Popularity
The major TV stations have a prime time at eight o'clock, and the TV programs they broadcast must meet the taste of the public. Because in ordinary families, the remote control is controlled by the hostess, so TV stations usually choose urban family ethics and bloody dramas, such as "Cheating War", "Marriage Storm" and so on.
However, there are exceptions, last year, a TV series "Forsythia Fairy" adapted from ancient myths and legends was sought after by many viewers, ranking first in the annual ratings with a national average rating of 4.52, and also set a record of 6.8 ratings on the day.
Except for news broadcasts and live broadcasts of the Olympics, I am afraid that no TV series can break this record.
Coincidentally, the name of the director of "Forsythia Fairy", which has set many records, is Wu Zheng.
Before "The Legend of Xu Shaolian" was broadcast, CCTV TV drama channels and five local satellite TV stations had begun to advertise overwhelmingly.
Wu Zheng's name is too big, which is almost a guarantee of ratings. Ordinary people may not be familiar with this name, but they are familiar with the names Deng Shao, Sun Rong, and Ge Tong in the starring lineup.
Deng Shao has always been known as the "Grandma Killer" in the circle, and many housewives and wives are reluctant to change the channel when they look at his face.
Wu Zheng also edited a trailer, which is a collection of various wonderful moments, and with Yang Yang's popular song "Put It Down", it can be regarded as whetting the appetite of the majority of TV fans.
TV fans are looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally look forward to the day when the TV station will finally stop rolling the trailer and the drama will begin.
Wu Zheng also sat at home to watch the premiere of the first episode of "The Legend of Xu Shaolian", together with his wife Shu He.
Shu He lay lazily in Wu Zheng's arms like a kitten, this cold-faced guide who has always been known for his seriousness and unsmiling outside, and now his eyes are so gentle that he can melt chocolate.
"Why did you change this piece, I remember that it didn't seem to be this song when you listened to me last time?" Shu He put a peeled grape into Wu Zheng's mouth and asked suspiciously, "Didn't you use Lao Yu's song?"
Wu Zheng had grapes in his mouth, and his voice was a little slurred: "No, it's still Lao Yu's writing." ”
Wu Zheng swallowed the grapes, and the seeds were reluctant to spit out, and then said: "It's funny to say." I gave Yang Yang's song to Lao Yu, and Lao Yu turned his face on the spot. He said that I didn't bury the title he wrote when I found such an ending? On the same day, he said that the original one should not be used, and then it took a week to give me the current one, and I still wasn't satisfied with his appearance. ”
Shu He chuckled, as if he was thinking of the black face of the old pot lid in his mind.
"Well deserved. This old man looks at people through his nostrils, so he must kill his arrogance. ”
"You talk like this, how people say it is also an old-timer in the industry, and my previous TV series were all songs dubbed by him. Wu Zheng shook his head helplessly, lowered his head and scratched Shu He's upturned nose dotingly.
"But Yang Yang is really amazing, he can write such a song, how to say it in ancient times, he was also a genius. ”
Wu Zheng sighed lightly.
Shu He blinked her beautiful eyes, as Wu Zheng's wife, she knew best in her heart how difficult it was to say such praise from her husband's mouth, although she only said it in private.
At this time, the opening song is finished and the plot officially begins.
Although he directed it himself and had watched it many times when editing, Wu Zheng still watched it very seriously. At the same time, countless people in front of the TV were gradually immersed in the plot.
At the end of the first episode of "Xu Shaolian", the ending song "Put Down" sung by Yang Yang came out of the TV, Wu Zheng picked up his mobile phone and dialed a number.
"Hey, is it Lao Wang? Yes, my old Wu... Okay, I see, thank you. ”
Wu Zheng put down the phone with a smile on his face.
"The ratings of the first episode counted by CCTV are 3.54. ”
"So high. Shu He sat up from his arms in surprise, "I remember that the ratings of the first episode of "Forsythia" were only 3.2. ”
"3.24 to be exact. Wu Zheng corrected.
Shu He pouted: "Just you can." She quickly changed her words and said with surprise on her face: "Doesn't that mean that "Xu Shaolian" is likely to break the record of "Forsythia". ”
Wu Zheng shook his head: "It's too early to make such a conclusion, "Forsythia" didn't have the publicity it has now. But..."
Wu Zheng paused, and there was a faint confidence in his words: "I believe that "Xu Shaolian" should not be worse than "Forsythia". ”
"Look at what you can. Shu He chuckled and couldn't help but pat him on the forehead.
"Look at whether we should find a time to have dinner with Yang Yang, this kid sings beautifully, and I like people very much. ”
"As you please, you can as long as you want. ”
...
The first episode of "The Legend of Xu Shaolian" had an audience rating of 3.54, and the leading actors of the second episode appeared one after another, with an audience rating of 3.61. In the second episode, in addition to Deng Shao's handsome face that kills all the young and old, there is another person's name that is remembered by the audience.
Yang Yang.
Yang Yang in ancient costumes is really handsome, and the chivalrous costume that Wu Zheng selected for Zhan Feihong is exquisite and atmospheric, which makes his whole person more and more handsome and chic.
In the words of mothers and wives: how can this child look so handsome, even more beautiful than my girl.
Yang Yang used his appearance to break through the sky, and quickly attracted a large number of wife-level audiences, as well as a group of little girls who had the opportunity to watch TV at home during the holidays but did not have the right to master the remote control. The two finally found a common hobby, watching Zhan Feihong.
"Put Down" also climbed rapidly on the new song list with the popularity of the TV series, and it sat firmly on the first throne in just three days.
Yang Yang's original fans have spared no effort to promote him, and his popularity is now skyrocketing every day.
Yang Yang didn't know these things yet, the only change he felt was that two days after "The Legend of Xu Shaolian" was broadcast, his mother and aunt called one after another, and said to him excitedly: "Yangyang, now the three aunts and two mothers-in-law, colleagues and friends around you are watching your TV series, have you become a big star?"
There is also a scarf, Yang Yang now posts some mood selfies every day, and the following are all likes and comments, and the fans quickly skyrocketed to 10 million, and the hot search has also hung his name for several days.
Of course, there will be slander, and there are different voices everywhere.
There are doubts: "The role of Zhan Feihong has no acting skills at all, and he simply sells his face." ”
There are complaints: "Zhan Feihong pretended to be forced as soon as he appeared, and he really didn't pretend to be uncomfortable." ”
Of course, these discordant voices can't even make waves in Yang Yang's huge sea of fans.
"What's wrong with my Yang Yang just selling face, you have the ability to sell your ugly face. Vomit. ”
"I just like to watch Yang Yang play handsome, and if he is not handsome, it will be a waste of his face. ”
Yang Yang didn't pay much attention to these remarks on the Internet, because he was so busy. After participating in "Star Entertainment Alliance", he even went to school to report for a job, and rushed to the crew of "July and Ansheng" non-stop.
Zhang Bai said that it was time to turn on.
