Chapter 192: Phenomenal Level (Five Changes)

The broadcast of "Prison Break" continues, but it has caused a certain amount of heat on the Internet.

People talk a lot, especially the characters in the play, "they are all so individual, they are dizzy to watch." ”

Mi Shuai, the protagonist of the much-discussed discussion by netizens, can resonate with a lot of comments in everyone's hearts as soon as he mentions this name. "Prison Break" is almost Hu Yifei's solo show.

On the high school campus, classmates are discussing. On the college campus, several boys in the class got together and also seconded one after another: "Have you seen the prison break, it's cool." ”

"I've seen it, Mi Shuai is too handsome." A girl suddenly joins the conversation......

Indeed, the angular handsome face, the overly high IQ, the stoic, and thoughtful portrayal make the calm action and the burning expectation intertwined, making people love and hate entanglement, and they can't help themselves.

Maybe these are just scratching the surface, after all, it's only the first episode, and it doesn't really work. Even if the media occasionally makes comments, they only stop at the point.

Then the next day, after the second episode of "Prison Break" was broadcast, everything was settled.

"35% ratings! I'm ...... God."

The employees of the CCTV ratings statistics team almost jumped up from their chairs, and the people in charge of the TV series group were generally optimistic about this drama, and the ratings of the first episode were also given a full red. People are speculating about when they will create higher ratings and break 30% in the first few weeks, but they didn't expect that this number will be broken just the next day.

Not only did it break 30%, but it was still 35%, and the ratings almost doubled and went up.

"Director Qin......"

"Are the ratings out?"

The staff relieved a bit and said: "Yes, the highest ratings appear in the end credits when the next episode is previewed, as high as 42%, and the average rating of the whole episode also reaches 35%. The ratings of the first episode were only 10% when they started yesterday, but by the end of the episode they had already broken 20%. This is only the second episode, and it has already reached 35%. If it continues at this rate, it will be broadcast next week, and it may continue to climb upwards. Breaking 40 is no longer a myth, not to mention reproducing the ratings myth of the 90s, at least it can compete with Qiong Yao's "Returning the Pearl" and bring the highest ratings back to CCTV. ”

Qin Suyuan didn't care how full of morale her subordinates were, she couldn't speculate too much, and said calmly: "After all, there is still a week in between until next week's broadcast, and any change may lead to Waterloo." It was also the first time we tried the weekly broadcast system under pressure. During this period, the publicity work could not be stopped, call Hu Yifei, let their starring lineup participate in several CCTV variety show activities, make a fuss on entertainment programs, continue to maintain popularity, and strive to get better results when the broadcast starts next week. ”

"Yes, Director Qin!"

This time I really made up my mind, "A good drama is a good drama, how can it be so easy to hit the street." ”

Facebook again typed a number of "42" followed by a string of "0".

The two numbers before and after, just staggered in one position, are two completely different results.

Fans were shocked, even those who hadn't watched TV before. Now I suddenly see that everyone around me is talking about this drama, and I find that I suddenly fall behind because I don't know it. So, whether they were curious or forced, they all began to pay attention to this TV series, watched CCTV rebroadcast the next day, and then fell in love with it.

After the first two episodes of "Prison Break" aired, another round of propaganda began to appear in the newspapers the next day. This time it is not Hu Yifei's publicity, but no media dares to ignore this "Prison Break", which has just aired 'two episodes'.

People have found that celebrity actors counting stars or something are secondary, and plot killing is more powerful!

The audience in front of the TV is talking, and the newspaper media will naturally not be idle, especially when the ratings of "Prison Break" are rising. But the real world is too huge, and it is impossible to determine how many people are actually watching this TV, but the Internet is really overwhelming. The plot is discussed everywhere, how should Mi Shuai solve the crisis next and turn the crisis into safety.

On Facebook, the hot topics discussed by fans ranked first "Prison Break", second ranked "Mi Shuai", and third was "Hu Yifei...... Baidu and Google are the first in the hot search, all of which are "Prison Break".

Under the official media of "Family Pictures", under the official media page of "Prison Break", under Hu Yifei's Facebook page, and under the Facebook page of others, the discussion is even hotter, "In the trailer of the next episode, the prison boss played by Wu Xiubo wants to lose Mi Shuai's toes, will it really be lost?" It shouldn't be, how can domestic dramas have that kind of courage. ”

"Fan Binbin is also very beautiful, have you noticed that she has become intellectual, she is ten times more beautiful than the junior she played in "Mobile Phone"!"

"Wu Xiubo's black boss is really amazing, I am creepy to watch, do you think he is really perverted?"

"The most handsome is still my Mi Shuai, it's so cool that I have no friends."

All kinds of comments emerge in endlessly, and the behind-the-scenes footage posted before has also been repeatedly on the entertainment broadcast programs of various local stations. Let more people understand that it is really not easy to make this TV series, "I really locked up the actors as prisoners and didn't let them out for more than a month...... I'm gone, is Hu Yifei so ruthless, how can he stop this group of people? ”

"Entertainment Weekly" reported: "If you were counting stars before, then now you are out, and the strong plot impetus makes it impossible for you to divert your attention at all." Everyone is speculating about how many episodes Mi Shuai will be able to successfully escape from prison. ”

Southern Weekly also published a commentary article titled "How to Cast Wonderful Dramas", which pointed out:

"The success of "Prison Break" is multifaceted, China's entry into the WTO, and all aspects are being adapted, but it is not as big as this TV series. It is true that this is an American drama-style TV series, and it is also the first time that someone dares to make such an attempt, and it is done so perfectly, which is more exciting than any American drama I have ever seen. The success of "Prison Break" lies in the creation of characters, the different character traits of various characters, distinct, profound, clear at a glance and bothering to speculate and never forget. ”

"Yangtze Evening News" is the same topic, the report said: "All living beings are in a hundred phases, "Prison Break" has become a classic in prison escape works because of the shaping of these characters, the reason why a person has no concept is that he is not recognized, which is not the same concept as mystery, if "Prison Break" can not let people see so many characters with distinct personalities, I am afraid it will not be able to attract the audience so strongly, of course, the plot is also very important, but the development of the story is actually to shape the characters. ”

The media delved into the elements of the success of "Prison Break", all of them are full of professionalism, like a master director, "There is another key factor in the success of Prison Break, the script!" The position of screenwriter was not very obvious in the mainland before. But everyone knows that he is an important position, but why is it so often overlooked? But I'm afraid that after this drama, it will be taken seriously by various film and television companies. Hu Yifei personally handled it, led the script, and found experts and talents from all walks of life to brainstorm collectively, so as to produce this TV series with rigorous reasoning, suspense, and ********. ”

It is not only this media that focuses on screenwriters, "Xinmin Evening News" also focuses on the perspective of screenwriters and reports:

"Anyone who watches it will not think that it will be worse than "Infernal Affairs", but this is a TV series, and it has the quality of a movie! I heard that at the beginning of Hu Yifei's shooting, he used the film used to make movies. ”

"But these are the tools, and the real core is in the script. They poured a lot of minutiae into the backbone of an ordinary cop story to complete the suspense. Many details such as Mi Shuai's tattoo, Hooke's law that breaks the wall, etc., which involve art, geography, geometry, chemistry and many other disciplines, and even architecture, semiotics, cryptography, detection, psychology and other high-end theories, its use of skill, design exquisite, flexible adaptability is breathtaking. ”

On the other hand, Hu Yifei also took the skill of leaving a hook in suspense to the extreme. There is a "hook principle" in screenwriting techniques, as the name suggests, that is, deliberately leaving a suspense at the end, and this suspense has to find the right time, but this timing can be hard-made. The end of each episode of "Prison Break" is such a big "hook" that makes you want to watch the next episode. ”

"Putting aside whether TV dramas can express positive meanings for the time being, this spirit of innovation is the path that the Chinese TV drama industry has to take."

During this period of time, media articles came out one after another, most of them were boasting and admiring, and for a while, "Prison Break" almost became a phenomenal work.

But it is not without negative evaluations, there are not many negative evaluations, but often only one article is enough to have a fatal impact.
