Chapter 334: Influence
On April 8th, 9th and 10th, KGS continued to broadcast the eighth, ninth and tenth episodes of "Blue Life and Death Love".
Due to the sufficient publicity resources invested by both KGS and SPG, coupled with the word-of-mouth accumulated in the early stage, a total of 20 episodes of "Blue Life and Death Love" were broadcast for more than half, and the ratings successfully exceeded the 20% mark, reaching 22.31%.
This has caused quite a stir in South Korea!
First of all, "Blue Life and Death Love" has jumped to the third place in the ratings of all the Chinese dramas imported by the three major Korean TV stations, second only to "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Dream of Red Mansions", two famous long dramas, and the latter two are domestic works filmed in the 90s.
Among the dramas of the same type, "Blue Life and Death Love" undoubtedly set a record for the ratings of Chinese dramas in South Korea, and most importantly, it has the potential to continue to improve.
According to the contract it signed with KGS, there is no problem in recovering the cost, and the final profit is not a problem, plus the agency agreement with Lu Chen's studio, it has directly made a profit!
This South Korean entertainment company has been in China for many years, and its representative in China, Park Jung-ho, is half Chinese, so he is well versed in the psychology of Chinese people, and under his instructions, SPG's official V on the Inspur blog not only broadcast the ratings of "Blue Life and Death Love" on time, but also forwarded many good comments from Korean media and audiences.
Many South Korean media outlets have been surprised by the popularity of "Blue Life and Death Love", and influential newspapers and magazines in South Korea, such as Chosun Shin Pao, Seoul Ilbo, Hanwen Weekly, and so on, have published review articles to explore the reasons for the popularity of this drama.
Some tabloids even exclaimed that "Hualiu counterattacked", although this statement is too exaggerated and basically belongs to the sensationalist headline party, but it also reflects the influence caused by "Blue Life and Death Love" from the side.
Unlike in China, the proportion of Korean TV viewers is very high, and TV dramas and variety shows are the most popular, so the ratings of strong dramas can easily reach tens of percent.
As for the reasons why Korean audiences like "Blue Life and Death Love", it is basically divided into two categories, the first is that they like the plot of "Blue", the inconsistencies of fate, heartbreaking emotional entanglements, and the story background in a foreign country have attracted a group of housewives.
Lu Chen deliberately Koreanized the names of the characters in the story, which also increased the audience's affinity to a certain extent.
The second category is young audiences, Lu Chen's tall and handsome, Chen Feier's pure beauty, and the wonderful performances of the supporting actors who are also handsome men and beauties, so that they suddenly found that there are also outstanding and charming idols in the showbiz of the country.
It must be pointed out here that Chen Feier, who has participated in many Sino-Korean song concerts, has a little popularity in South Korea, and her popularity has skyrocketed more than ten times through "Blue Life and Death Love"!
As for Lu Chen, not to mention, his Korean fan support group has appeared on South Korean social networks, although it is unofficial, the number of members has reached tens of thousands, and most of them are girls.
Interestingly, on the 10th, the theme song "Your Eyes" of the "Blue" drama sung by Lu Chen and Chen Feier appeared on the Korean pop music chart as a Chinese song, ranking 27th!
The K-pop music chart is the most authoritative music list in South Korea, with only 30 positions in total, due to the extremely developed Korean entertainment industry, and the songs on the list are not limited to Korean and foreign languages, so the competition on this list is very fierce, and it is already commendable that "Your Eyes" can be on the list.
All kinds of records and honors have made "Blue Life and Death Love" set off a small storm in South Korea, and KGS even used this TV series to compete for advertising resources with MBC's hit drama "The Queen's Power".
This was unimaginable before, and it was completely "Blue Life and Death Love" relying on its own strength to fight for its status!
And these records and honors have been told to domestic fans of the "Blue" drama by SPG with the help of the Inspur blog.
The majority of blue fans naturally boiled again, feeling that their faces were too long.
SPG has reaped a lot of favorability through this, and the number of blog fans has increased by more than ten times!
Many blue fans, as well as fans of Lu Chen and Chen Feier, have run to the big V's "Entertainment Aspects" blog to leave messages.
"Sit back and wait for the blogger to run naked!"
"Blogger, take out your qualities and quickly go naked on the street!"
"22.31% ratings, when will the blogger run naked?
"I think the blogger's face is swollen, and he shouldn't have the face to see anyone, so let's disperse. ”
"Hehe, there's nothing to say now, right?"
This big V originally said that he would run naked on the street when the ratings of "Blue Life and Death Love" in South Korea broke ten, and now that the broadcast is just over halfway through, it is a foregone conclusion that he will break ten, and his face has been beaten so that it can no longer be swollen.
This shows that as a public figure, it is very important to be cautious in what you say and do, and you can't easily overfill your words, otherwise you may not be able to step down.
Of course, those who become big Vs on blogs are usually thick-skinned, and after a few days of silence, "Entertainment Face" posted a new blog post saying that he will keep his promise after "Blue Life and Death Love" is broadcast in South Korea.
What makes people squirt is that the "Entertainment Aspect" just said that he would abide by his promise, and the police officer V "Ping An Beijing" replied to him: Exposing private parts of the body in public, including running naked, violates the public security management regulations and will be punished by three days of detention!
This incident immediately became a big joke on the Inspur blog.
The domestic media also took the opportunity to catch up with the excitement, and many mainstream media reported the news of the hit of "Blue Life and Death Love" in South Korea, praising this TV series for winning honor for Chinese dramas.
It is true that the domestic film and television drama market is unprecedentedly prosperous, but excellent original works are rare, especially those that can be successfully broadcast on foreign TV stations, which are even rarer.
If you don't boast about this, what else can you praise?
Compared with the hustle and bustle on the Internet and the promotion of the media, the response in the domestic film and television circle is completely different, although there are some jealous voices, but it is more about research and discussion, why "Blue" can achieve such a big success.
In terms of investment, the investment in "Blue Life and Death Love" is not more than 10 million.
In terms of the star lineup, there were no other big names except Chen Feier at that time, and all the supporting roles were originally unknown newcomers.
In terms of production, the producer, Qiande Brothers Pictures, is a small generation in the industry.
In terms of story, "Blue Life and Death Love" is a tragedy!
It's just that this small-budget TV series completely crushed those huge productions with stars like clouds and hundreds of millions of investments.
Many film and television companies are ready to move, and the success of "Blue Life and Death Love" has made them see a glittering road, that is, to follow the trend and imitate!
The trend of imitation of domestic film and television dramas has been around for a long time, and it is regarded as a shortcut to make money.
"Blue Life and Death Love" is so successful, it is a strange thing not to follow the trend and imitate it, especially since Lu Chen has publicly announced that this TV series will not shoot a sequel, which makes people feel as if they see a large piece of fat being thrown to the ground.
As a result, many screenwriters and authors in the Beijing circle have received custom orders, and the requirements of the management are all to write a new script according to the model of the "Blue" drama, the time is getting better and better, and the plot routine is as similar as possible!
Not only that, but several film and television drama companies have announced the launch of new projects, and a closer look at their promotional announcements shows that the shadow of the "Blue" drama can be found in it.
But for thousands of morning fans and Filipino fans, they/they don't care about those copycat dramas at all, they care about when Lu Chen's new drama will come out?
After the premiere of "Blue Life and Death Love" ended, Lu Chen once said that a new series would be launched this year, and the new drama has nothing to do with "Blue Life and Death Love", not a sequel to the latter.
This makes fans look forward to it, but two months have passed, but Lu Chen's studio has not made public the relevant news for a long time, and no film and television company has announced cooperation with Lu Chen.
Fans' patience is always limited, especially when the good news of "Blue Life and Death Love" in South Korea comes frequently, they/they want Lu Chen to give a clear statement - when do we have to wait?
Countless fans ran to Lu Chen and Chen Feier's blogs to leave messages.
This resentment was so powerful that Lu Chen also felt tremendous pressure and had to come out to speak.
In fact, it's not that Lu Chen deliberately hangs everyone's appetite, but that he has been busy with this year's top priority for a while, that is, Chen Feier's new album.
Chen Fei'er's new album is nothing new, she has released more than a dozen albums, but this album is very unusual and is her transformational work.
For a long time, Chen Feier has been named the "Queen of Sweet Songs", which is both an honor and a burden, especially at her current age, coupled with the changes in the market, transformation is imperative.
Whether the transformation can succeed is related to Chen Feier's music career, and she certainly attaches great importance to it.
Under such circumstances, how could Lu Chen, who was in charge of half of the new album, stay out of the matter? As one of the producers of the album, he was duty-bound to be stationed at Feishi Records.
In order to complete the album, she pushed off a large number of announcements and endorsement activities, and repeatedly polished the work in the recording studio, especially the arrangement, which greatly delayed the completion time.
So when the album was finally recorded, it was already mid-April.
Fortunately, Lu Chen also squeezed out time during this period and wrote all the new scripts.
He has an explanation for the fans-
The first update was sent, and I suddenly found that there were 90,000 recommended votes for this book, and I asked for 100,000 recommended votes to rush 100,000 !! (to be continued.) )
