Chapter 245: "The Blade of the Country" is on the air
At half past seven o'clock in the evening of July 3, the TV series "The Blade of the Country" will officially land on CCTV and major video websites.
This time, Li Mu also rarely stayed in front of the TV all the time, holding a notebook in his hand.
Like Li Mu, at this time, there are countless viewers sitting in front of the TV and computer waiting for the TV series to start.
After more than half a month of intensive propaganda bombardment, it can be said without hesitation that the popularity of this TV series in China is unprecedented, and even the news that the blockbuster "Lu Bu" is being released and has a box office of more than 300 million in three days has been submerged under the propaganda offensive of "The Blade of the Nation".
Starting from June 30th, "Lu Bu", which was jointly invested by Li Mu and Shengda, achieved a box office of 80 million, 110 million, and 130 million respectively in three days of release in the mainland, although the box office failed to break 100 million on the first day, but the box office of 320 million in three days was still good enough, and Chen Tianqiao naturally did not harass Li Mu anymore.
Although Lu Bu's reputation is not good, and his impression in the hearts of the audience is not as good as Zhao Yun, the reputation of this movie is still good, and the Douban score is 7.1 after three days of release, and it is expected to remain around 6.5 after the painting.
This number naturally cannot be compared with the 8.5 of "Zhao Zilong", but this result is already very good in commercial blockbusters.
And the most brilliant thing in the film is naturally Takeshi Kaneshiro, Liu Shishi, and Zhang Hanyu, the emotional drama between Lu Bu and Ren Xiuer runs through the whole movie, and only the last ten minutes are overshadowed by Zhang Hanyu's limelight.
After all, 800 to 100,000 is too shocking, and Zhang Hanyu has also created a good image of a fierce general who is innocent and majestic, does not drink, and is not left behind.
Coupled with the Ju Yi he played before, and the audience of these two historical figures is not familiar to the audience, many viewers who have watched the movie began to search for information about Ju Yi and Gao Shun on the Internet, and Zhang Hanyu became popular again for a while.
However, the box office explosion of "Lu Bu" made Wang Zhongjun feel very bad, two movies with the same theme were released one after another, and the first one will inevitably have an impact on the latter once the box office reputation is double-harvested.
It is said that Wang Zhongjun has often been angry at his subordinates in the past two days, and sometimes when he goes to the set to inspect, he will go crazy without warning, and several actors have been unlucky enough to knock down the muzzle of the gun.
......
At half past seven in the evening, the news broadcast ended, and the TV series was about to officially start after the weather preview was broadcast.
"It's started, it's on, the barrage is up!"
"Tongs Liu Ming, 19:30 p.m. on July 3, 2011!"
"I'm going to vomit in the commercials for half a month, I want to see what kind of TV series this is!"
"I can finally see the TV series filmed by Li Mu, I'm so excited!"
"Don't be stupid, Li Mu just has a name, which assistant director made it, don't expect too much!"
"That's right, it is estimated that the film is not well filmed before it takes so much effort to promote!"
......
The weather trailer is over, and the TV series officially begins after two commercials.
With the singing of the theme song "Eternal Warrior", the TV screen began to show magnificent war scenes, in the mountains, seas, and plains, all kinds of weapons and equipment that had never been seen on TV before appeared, and fighter planes and helicopter gunships roared past in groups, leaving a blanket of desolation.
The shells of all kinds of howitzers and cannons pears the earth over and over again, and even destroyers and cruisers launched missiles at sea against the land, and one after another the director brought these several meters of firelight to whizz through the sky, and in the blink of an eye, a small hill in the distance was instantly razed to the ground!
The singing stopped abruptly here, the picture began to go black, and the feature film began!
"Damn, these three or four minutes of preview are too hanging!"
"Awesome, using so many weapons and equipment is really bloody!"
"It's worth it just for the trailer!"
......
The first episode officially began, the picture began to calm down, and it turned to an ordinary small county town, at this time it was the annual conscription, and the protagonist He Chenguang took a conscription leaflet and ran home excitedly to say to his father He Weidong that he wanted to be a soldier.
However, He Weidong remembered everything that happened when he was on a mission, he was greedy for life and afraid of death, and he was awarded a first-class merit, and then served as a squad leader and platoon leader, and went home from the army.
Whether it was a hero or a coward, he didn't want He Chenguang to be a soldier.
Unlike previous military war TV series, it did not attract the audience's attention through a large number of tragic war scenes at the beginning, on the contrary, the entire first episode was very ordinary.
It wasn't until halfway through the second episode that He Weidong reluctantly agreed to his son to join the army, and after a series of registrations and physical examinations, with the ending song sounding, He Chenguang boarded the train to the barracks.
And his father, He Weidong, watched the train go away from a distance, with some tears in the corners of his eyes, not knowing whether his son would become a hero or a coward like himself in the future.
The two episodes of the TV series passed quickly, although Li Mu did not participate in the filming later, but he had already watched the finished film, which was also edited according to his intentions, and now he is still very satisfied with watching it on the TV.
is different from "Zhao Zilong" and "Lu Bu", both of which have large-scale war scenes at the beginning to explain the background of that era, and attract the audience's attention from the beginning.
And this TV series did not do this, through He Weidong's memories and narration, the audience also thought about whether the protagonist would become a hero like the old platoon commander or a "coward" like He Weidong.
And the comments on the Internet are also mostly positive, except for some remarks that the beginning is too bland and there are too few war scenes.
And at this time, the ratings also came out, with an average rating of 2.1 percent, and the highest rating of 4.1 percent.
And the number of broadcasts on major online video websites has also come out, but because it is broadcast live online by several websites at the same time, it is inevitable that it will be affected, but the number of single-day broadcasts is also in the forefront of the website.
Although this rating is much worse than "Step by Step", even compared with "Xuanyuan Sword: Traces of Heaven", it is temporarily ranked six in the annual ratings, and the first ones are "Step by Step", "The Temptation of Going Home", "Xuanyuan Sword: The Eternity of Heaven", "Love Apartment 3" and the Qingpier TV series "Palace Lock Heart Jade" that follows "Step by Step".
But Li Mu is not worried at all, after all, this is a modern military-themed TV series, which is a niche theme, and it is already a big hit to have this result.
This can be regarded as a good start, as the follow-up plot becomes more and more exciting, Li Mu believes that the ratings will get higher and higher, and even set off a military fever, so that more and more film and television companies and audiences pay attention to military themes, thereby promoting the box office of the movie "Wolf Warrior".
