Chapter 197: Snail Fever
Bai Yuhan hid in Seoul and made a lively movie with Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang.
The huge China has once again made waves because of him. Because on Friday, October 31, the TV series adapted from Liuliu's novel of the same name "Snail House" was broadcast in prime time on Dragon TV. Originally, this was just a TV series that Bai Yuhan wanted to shoot to wash away his comedy traces.
As a director with ideals and pursuits, Bai Yuhan doesn't want others to call him equal, he equates him with comedy, and doesn't want to be like Stephen Chow, not to say that he is a film master, but a comedy film master, as if he is useless without comedy.
Therefore, Bai Yuhan's expectations for "Snail House" are not high, I just hope to have a good performance, just don't fall into my own name.
But the reality is much crazier than imagined.
As soon as the first two episodes of "Snail House" were broadcast, the ratings won the national championship at the same time with a height of 2 points, and on the fourth day of broadcasting, that is, the first eight episodes, the ratings soared to 4 o'clock, reproducing the miracle of breaking 4 in the finale of "Love Apartment 2".
It's not like before when TV stations don't have any good programs, and it's not surprising that the ratings are high. Now all major TV stations are frantically producing new programs, good programs are continuous, and the ratings are also very diverted, basically after 2000, there are not many TV series that break 4.
Even after 2005, TV series that broke 3 were rare.

As a result, this year, Dragon TV alone has broadcast two TV series that broke 4, and "Snail House" broke 4 in four days after it was broadcast, which can be called an impossible miracle.
The media reports are crazy. A large number of people followed up, watching TV with relish, and analyzing the reason for the popularity of "Snail House" - housing prices!
"Snail House" is the first TV series to tell the story of housing prices so distinctly. directly poked at the weakness of society and the weakness of young people today.
Since around 2000, housing prices have been rising, and after 2007, it has risen like a skyrocket, one price a day, just like eating Xuanmai, and it can't stop at all. It's 2008. I don't know if it was due to the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis, not only did housing prices start to soar, but prices also began to soar. In the first half of the year, pork was four or five yuan a catty, and in the second half of the year, it was nine yuan a catty.
The only thing that hasn't increased is wages.
So the house slaves who were already frugal made it even more difficult for the whole society. Basically adult chat. It is inseparable from the house, housing prices, and mortgages. Whether it is hatred or longing, the house is linked to almost everyone. Looking for a person to ask if there is a house, whether you plan to buy a house.
The house overwhelmed too many people.
Therefore, "Snail House" is like a needle, which bursts the balloon at once, and talks about all the houses accumulated in society. are all released.
Hot!
It's hot.
Haiqing who plays Guo Haiping, and Li Nian, who plays Guo Haizao. Bai Yuhan, who played Xiaobei, and Zhang Jiayi, who played Song Siming, all followed the fire. The miracle of breaking 4 is enough to laugh at the heroes and seek defeat alone in this competitive TV environment. And that's just the fourth day of ratings.
The popularity of "Snail House" is getting hotter and hotter day by day, and on the 8th day, the ratings broke 5 strongly, and on the 11th day, the ratings broke 6, and the 33rd episode of the finale, the ratings broke 7 unprecedentedly, creating a new height in the ratings of local satellite TV TV dramas!
And the Modu area has set a historical record with an overall rating of 10%.
In other words, "Snail House" is crazy.
Even hotter than the ratings is the discussion that follows.
Almost all the media and the public are discussing this TV series, what is the most real TV series, what cares about people's livelihood and sharply criticizes housing prices, and what insinuates Chen Liang. Yu corruption incident, what Guo Haizao is a. Son, what do you think the story is fake after watching "Struggle", and I feel that life is fake after watching "Snail House".
To sum up, "Snail House" stung a harsh fact that the post-80s generation is facing.
As the leading actors of this TV series, Haiqing, Li Nian, and Zhang Jiayi were all tracked by reporters 24 hours a day and asked for interviews, and the phone did not dare to turn on, and it rang endlessly as soon as it was turned on.
And the director, and starring, Bai Yuhan is even more annoying.
He was filming in Jiangcheng, and he couldn't hide if he wanted to, reporters circled around his crew like flies, and he was ready to break through the barrier at any time and rush to Bai Yuhan for an interview. Bai Yuhan wanted to swatt them to death like flies, but he couldn't, so in the end he compromised and wasted a lot of time on interviews.
β¦β¦
"Director Bai, "Snail House", as a TV series that satirizes reality, is it an allusion to Chen Liang as rumored. Yu corruption incident, Song Siming's prototype is not Chen Liang. Yu's secretary Qin X, is Guo Haizao's prototype Chen Rong, the host of Modu TV? β
Bai Yuhan rolled his eyes: "I don't know, who is Chen Liang. House? β
"Isn't there an insinuation in "Snail House", some characters are too similar to reality."
"I remember that the TV series was written above, and this story is pure fiction, and any similarities are purely coincidental." Bai Yuhan said with a haha.
"Snail House" of course alludes to Chen Liang. Yu was the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of the Demon Capital, and Song Siming alluded to his secretary, Qin X, the first secretary of the Demon Capital, Qin X's license plate was Hu A00029, and Song Siming's license plate in the play was Jiang A00029. And the prototype of Guo Haizao is the host Chen Rong, who has been entangled with Qin X.
The prototype of Chen Sifu is the social security greedy Zhang XX, and the prototype of Mayor Zhang is Chen Liang. Yu, these two reversed their surnames when they were insinuating. In the novel, it is about the magic capital, and the TV series should be conservative, and it has been changed to Jiangzhou, which does not exist.
But when I say it, I definitely can't say it to the outside world, I'm just insinuating, isn't this looking for a draw to die?
So Bai Yuhan opened his eyes and said nonsense.
"Director Bai, many viewers watched "Snail House" and felt that "Snail House" was very yellow and violent, and many lines were too explicit. For example, Song Siming called Guo Haizao and said that he would go back to eat lollipops for Guo Haizao immediately. And said directly. I'm here to you. When there is still a bed scene, I scream that it will not work, it will not work. It can be called the most lascivious TV series in history. Many viewers greeted how the radio and television passed? β
"Well." Bai Yuhan explained with a smile, "You are watching the online version, which is the first cut version, because it was filmed based on reality when it was filmed, so there are more colloquial lines." The TV station didn't have these, they were all cut, and it was impossible for us to hide it from the radio and television. It's all in order. β
"But we saw that there were many screenshots, and the lines on them were too thunderous. Like what eats lollipops, I want to bite you, the whip is out of reach, the taste of light, I'm a mad dog, a small steel cannon, a dragonfly a little water, a shallow taste, nine shallow and one deep, every day, how do you explain this? β
"You should watch "Snail House" again and ask me this kind of question, just now the previous reporter said the online version, the lines in some of the scenes we cut. A lot of this you said is the PS version. The lines of "Snail House" have been corrected by me over and over again. Absolutely no lines that are too excessive, some love. The more intimate dialogues in the world were cut out by professional editors. β
"Director Bai, some people say that you shake out the dark side of society for others to see?"
Bai Yuhan shook his head: "I don't want to shake out the dark side for others to see, just record the current situation of Chinese society, in which it is full of hope, because your life is indeed in the process of changing, and it is in the process of getting better." But in moving forward, we cannot fail to see problems, and these problems can be solved. The most important thing in "Snail House" is to talk about the issue of values. On the surface, it is a house, a difficult life, and the so-called love story of Guo Haizao and a corrupt official. Actually, what I want to say is that I still can't succeed through the sideways. I tried to portray Song Siming as uglier, but Zhang Jiayi is too charming of an old man, and I have to settle accounts with him. β
""Snail House" is so popular now, does it mean that Director Bai has successfully transformed, from a comedy director to an all-round director?"
"I've never been a comedy director, I've made a lot of different genres, but everyone defines me as a comedy director. Filming "Snail House" actually has a meaning to justify my name, as a director, of course, I also have to pursue progress and make more demands. β
"You play Xiaobei, who is also liked by many people, there is no comedy, but it is more charming, have you ever considered acting as a starring actor in a movie or TV series?"
Bai Yuhan laughed: "Who invited me?" No one has asked me to act so far! I think it's okay for me to win the Oscar for my acting skills, and my personal image is also sunny, why no one asks me to be the protagonist, every time I have to film by myself and ask me to act by myself, in fact, my salary is very low, and I am a cost-effective and practical actor. β
"A lot of people think you're ......"
"This, it's not early, our crew is still filming, we can't delay too much time, let's stop here today, okay, we'll talk another day."
Chatting back and forth, they were all talking about some innocuous and rotten issues, Bai Yuhan didn't have time to waste this kind of official clichΓ©, so he accepted an interview for half an hour, so he hurriedly said goodbye and continued to go back to making movies.
β¦β¦
Bai Yuhan wanted to be quiet, but the level of hustle and bustle was not up to him.
After the premiere of Dragon TV, it ended with a ratings of breaking 7, and the second round of broadcasting also began, Haijin 2, Dongguang 3, and Dragon TV TV drama channels were broadcast one after another, although because it was not on Star TV, it was impossible to count the national ratings. But the results are still amazing.
In the second set of Haijin, it was easy to hit the ratings to the height of 8 o'clock in the Haijin area, and the same is true in the Dongguang area, which also reached the height of 7 o'clock, and the second round of broadcast in the magic capital turned out to be even more powerful to reach the height of 9 o'clock. Maybe it's because it's about the magic capital, and the house prices in the magic capital are also the cities where the price has risen the most.
As a result, the people of the magic capital have too deep feelings about "Snail House", and the magic capital has gathered a large number of migrant workers, all of whom hope to buy a house and settle down in the magic capital, and the experience encountered has further exacerbated the influence of "Snail House".
The ratings are hot, and the Internet has also begun to catch fire.
But if you are a college student, there is almost no one who is not watching "Snail House", QQ, school, forum, post bar, all communications, community websites, are students discussing the situation of Snail House. It seems that not discussing "Snail House" is equivalent to falling behind, it is equivalent to not being able to keep up with the rhythm of society, and it is equivalent to immaturity.
"'Snail House' has become a phenomenon, an interpretation of Chinese culture." What's funny is that the southern media, which has always been at odds with Bai Yuhan and enjoys black and white Yuhan, "Nandu Entertainment Weekly", unexpectedly blew "Snail House". (To be continued......)
