Chapter 400: Fierce Competition

The competition in the film industry here in China is quite fierce, after all, it is an annual summer file, even if it is about to end, it is still in full swing, and the TV drama industry is also gradually recovering.

Although there are still "The Inheritors" and "The Legend of Sword and Fairy III", these two TV series have already been broadcast for more than half of the time, and it will not take too long to end, and it is normal to launch a new TV series at this time.

However, in a short period of time, Dimension Entertainment and Ice World Entertainment will no longer be involved, and both companies are actively preparing new dramas.

Ice World Entertainment Co., Ltd. has begun to shoot a low-cost TV series on Blueberry Channel, because the qualification to compete for the first place this year was given to Chu Shi, Fan Bingling just casually filmed a fairly good work and didn't care too much, but the prime-time works on Mango Channel have not been finalized because they have not got a suitable script.

Fan Bingling also communicated with Chu Shi, if there was no progress by July and August, Chu Shi also promised to provide Fan Bingling with a fairly good script, but the price was ...... Even if the relationship between the two parties is ambiguous, it is definitely a brother who settles the score, even if Chu Shi is willing, Fan Bingling will not take advantage of Chu Shi.

Compared with the slow development of Ice World Entertainment, Dimension Entertainment is much more aggressive.

The TV series "Entertainment Without Circle" has officially started filming, and Yu Zheng's script has also been officially released, and the final preparations are currently underway. Filming will officially start in less than half a month, and the whole company is in a very busy state. Of course, this also indicates that Dimensional Entertainment has also entered a stage of rapid development.

And the variety show industry. It has also entered the most competitive stage! It has been more than half a month since Zhou Shuhai's "Jedi" and Chu Shi's "Run, Brother" were broadcast only one day apart, and both works have accumulated a considerable number of fans, and it is precisely for this reason that the competition between the two sides has entered the most fierce state.

At the beginning of the premiere, Chu Shi's variety show "Run, Brother" won a 16.64% rating share, which can be said to be a very high number, and this is not the best prime time, the first day after the Spring Festival holiday, and the fixed host is not too well-known except for Chu Shi, etc., it is quite good to be able to get such a ratings share.

After the evaluation of some of the top variety artists in Huaxia. As long as Chu Shi's new variety show "Run, Brother" is of excellent quality, its potential is definitely greater than "Where Are You Going, Dad" and "Voice of China"! Although these two works are very novel works, their results are also very terrifying, but after all, they have certain limitations, after watching them a few times, the freshness drops instantly, and there will be no more such almost demonic results.

A truly popular variety show, novelty is important, but the basic quality is the most important. After all, after several seasons of the show, even if it is novel, the freshness of the audience will fade, and they want to maintain the results of the work. There is only one way out.

Chu Shi's new variety show "Run, Brother", whether it is the hosting team, the script of the program, and the exquisite process of the production, can be called the four words "excellent quality". It is for this reason that there are only four episodes of the show. The ratings have grown to a considerable height, and the six fixed hosts led by Liu Zaishi. is also known because of the completely different styles and different funny methods.

Basically, everyone's meager number of fans, with the help of these four episodes, has grown by millions of people, and after more than a dozen episodes of the program are broadcast, I am afraid that everyone's meager fans will be able to climb to between 5 million and 10 million, and even in Chu Shi's view, Liu Zaishi's personal fans are likely to directly exceed 10 million, directly included in the ranks of top star artists, and with the passage of time, even if there is only such a work, with the accumulation of time, Liu Zaishi will also become the top variety show host in China - just like Mr. He in "Happy Camp", didn't he gradually become the top variety show host in China with a variety show?

Of course, the premise is that this variety show must be popular enough and long enough, and "Run, Brother" obviously meets this standard.

You don't see, although only four episodes of the show have been broadcast, Liu Zaishi and others have already seen the value of this show and have already made a decision.

Liu Zaishi, who was born as a professional variety show host, in addition to South Korea's "Infinite Challenge", the focus of his work has also been tilted towards China, except for two variety shows and some related work that must be done, Liu Zaishi has basically ignored other work, and is bent on making "Run, Brother" bigger and stronger, and then consider other things after Yiqiē is stable.

And Wang Lei is the same, she has pushed away some of the scripts she liked very much before, ignored other things, and focused on "Run, Brother", while Deng Chao and others also had this idea, pushed away some unimportant work, and focused on this variety show.

They themselves are also very clear that with "Run, Brother" to increase their popularity and get more opportunities, they are likely to become hot names in the film and television industry in the future, so they will naturally do their best to seize this opportunity.

And even in the future, when they have become the top figures in the film industry, and they can't watch ordinary variety shows, "Run, Brother" is also very important to them, and it will still be the best weapon for them to contact fans.

For fans of other celebrities, I am afraid that in a year's time, they will be able to see their idols from some evening parties, film and television works, and they are helpless to wait every day, and the fans of Deng Chao, Liu Zaishi, Chu Shi and others. Every Saturday night, you can see your idol in front of the TV, just like every week. How happy it would be for their idols to be by their side?

Such happiness. If the struggle stage is omitted, it will be what any top actor, actress, emperor, and queen longs for, but it's a pity that they don't have the time to work hard for such a precious program, and now Deng Chao, Sun Li and others happen to have this opportunity, so they naturally have to do their best to fight and fight!

This happiness will definitely belong to everyone in "Run, Brother"!

In other words, at present, the vast majority of the people in the "Run, Brother" team have regarded this variety show as the core of their work in the next few years, or even more than ten years. And Deng Chao, Wang Lei, Sun Li, Liu Zaishi and others, who have long been familiar with Chu Shi, have nagged Chu Shi more than once, so that Chu Shi will make "Run, Brother" into a weekly variety show, and fans can see them on TV every week.

It's a pity that this is not Chu Shi's final say, and it depends on the results of the market's investigation.

So far, the fourth episode of "Jedi" and "Running Brothers" have ended, and the ratings share has been counted, and "Jedi" is as full of advantages as it was at the beginning, and now the ratings share has reached a high 22.32%. And "Run, Brother" is slightly inferior, and so far it has only broken through the 20% mark and reached the level of 20.12%.

The two variety shows, from the initial gap of 1.9% viewership share to the present. The gap has widened to 2.2 percentage points, and it seems that the gap is getting bigger and bigger, but in fact. Whether it's the "Run, Brothers" team, or the staff of Ice World Entertainment. I don't care.

"Run, Brother" is conservatively estimated to have eighteen episodes of variety shows, and it can even be increased at any time. According to Chu Shi's understanding, the variety show "Jedi" has only nine episodes, and it won't be long before it will officially end, even if "Jedi" is at the end, the viewership share can climb to 26%, 27% or even more, and "Run, Brother" still has a long time to catch up, if it really can't catch up......

Chu Shi is ruthless, even if the audience is unwilling, with Chu Shi's financial resources, he can also make "Run, Brother" into a weekly variety show, and then Chu Shi has a year to increase the ratings, as long as he has this potential, he will be able to surpass "Jedi" sooner or later, and therefore, Chu Shi is not worried about being pressed down by Zhou Shuhai at all, no matter how bad it is, when the second season of "Jedi" is produced next year, Chu Shi can completely stop broadcasting as long as he uses a little means!

It's a pity that now "Running Brother" is on the air, and "Jedi" is in a hot PK, Liu Zaishi and other six people are desperately landing on other variety shows to promote "Running Brother", and Chu Shi has been in the United States for nearly a month, and Lao Fran and two other senior managers of AMC Company are constantly making preliminary preparations for the TV series "Thewalkingdead".

Fortunately, up to now, the preparations for the TV series "Thewalkingdead" have been carried out, and filming may officially start at any time, and it will be officially broadcast in less than a month, which also makes Chu Shi's heart full of expectations.

Until now, the funds for the TV series "Thewalkingdead" have been in place, and all the model props have been completed, and with the efforts of Lao Fran and others, the actors have also been in place, and after some coordination, all the actors have been free for the next schedule, basically all the work has been completed, but the last bit of coordination work needs to be dealt with.

A TV series with an investment of 240 million US dollars, converted into Huaxia currency, is enough for a super-large investment of more than 1.6 billion yuan, with a total of 108 episodes, even if Chu Shi, SCL Company, and AMC Company are full of confidence in it, thinking that this TV series will inevitably achieve quite dazzling results, but more or less, there are still some risks.

In the end, Chu Shitiy, this seemingly a whole TV series work, divided into six parts, each part has eighteen episodes, filmed in batches, and waited until a few episodes survived, it will be officially broadcast on the TV platform, if the results are not ideal, you can cut off any small part at any time, as for the future, it will be okay to talk about it later.

In fact, the TV series "Thewalkingdead", which has been greatly modified by Chu Shi. It is a fusion of the content of the first two seasons of the original TV series, but the first two seasons of the original book only have nineteen episodes. And today's TV series "Thewalkingdead" has one hundred and eight episodes.

The first eighteen episodes belong to the first part, and this part can be said to be a beginning! The police officer hero wakes up from the hospital. After waking up, he found that the whole world was no longer the same as it was, and it became very strange, terrifying, full of despair and killing, but even so, the police officer hero also mustered up the courage to survive in the last days in order to find his wife and son.

On the road to find his wife and children, the police officer male protagonist first meets a father and son who are hiding in a villa and lives hard, and then in the apocalypse full of crises. was the first to meet the No. 2 male protagonist who wandered alone - a strong, but slightly naïve Asian teenager.

Also in order to beautify his role, Chu Shi set this Asian teenager as a Chinese kung fu master, who inherited the ancient Chinese family and encountered an apocalyptic crisis while studying in the United States.

The ancient inheritance proves the origin of Chu Shi's strong kung fu, and the experience of practicing kung fu in seclusion also tells the reason why Chu Shi is immature and naïve.

When the end of the world struck, Chu Shi was still the kind and naïve young man, and he was used by evil forces three times in a row. Although he is not a wicked person, he also has a feeling of aiding and abetting.

The police officer met Chu Shi for the first time, Chu Shi was still working for the evil force gang, and the police officer couldn't bear to see Chu Shi being deceived. In the end, after a series of battles of wits and courage, Chu Shi saw the true face of the evil forces gang, and joined forces with the police officer protagonist to eradicate the evil forces. The two also officially came together.

It can be said that Chu Shi is the first partner of the police officer's protagonist! It's only two people, though. But one is mature and stable, and the other has strong combat ability. When it comes to survivability, it is not inferior to a team of good size.

The police officer needs a strong teammate, while Chu Shi needs a captain who is mature and stable, and kind-hearted, at least he will not harm himself, which is mutually beneficial, and it is also the guarantee for the survival of this team in the future.

In the first part, the well-deserved protagonists are the police officer and Chu Shi! In fact, at the beginning, this role should have been the hunter with strong survival ability, but in the end, Chu Shi was also selfish and directly changed to himself, and therefore, Chu Shi also succeeded from the No. 3 actor to the No. 2 actor, which is a big gain.

And at the end of the first part, Chu Shi and the police officer's team also found another team by chance, and the officer's wife and son happened to be found in this team.

From the second season onwards, the story is about the police officer and Chu Shi who are integrated into the new team, and this part focuses on some of the bad things in a medium-sized team with more than a dozen people.

lack of food, drinking water, gasoline and a range of daily necessities; The cancer in the team has done all kinds of things that are harmful to others, but with the efforts of the police officer, Chu Shi and others, he has safely survived all the troubles, and with these credits, the police officer has officially become the leader of the team.

I thought I could live a peaceful life, but just as this part was about to end, two major events happened!

One of them was that a large-scale zombie attack on this survival team, and nearly half of the personnel were lost during the battle, and in desperation, everyone had to flee to other places.

Secondly, in the process of escaping, Chu Shi and the others learned that in a city not far away, there was a real room that specialized in the study of zombies, viruses and other things, and it was also because of the desire for survival that Chu Shi and the others resolutely went to this city to find hope for survival.

At this point, the second part is officially over.

The third part is also as simple, in the process of finding the real yàn room, they encountered all kinds of problems from zombies, other teams, internal contradictions, etc., and finally after a series of hard struggles, Chu Shi and others finally came to this real yàn room, the initial hope just germinated, but suddenly learned that even the research results of this real yàn room were powerless to save this world that had collapsed, and the whole team was full of despair.

However, in the end, under the leadership of the police officer, Chu Shi and the others also regrouped, escaped from the real yàn room, which was about to lose all energy and would be officially destroyed in a short time, and embarked on a new journey.

And so ends the first three parts!

The TV series "Thewalkingdead" is divided into six parts, which seem to be independent, but in Chu Shi's eyes, the first three parts and the last three parts can be regarded as a whole, not to mention anything else, only the actors, you can look at it in this way.

In the first three parts, there are basically a few actors, the police officer, Chu Shi, and the team of more than a dozen people where the police officer's wife and son are located, but with the continuous filming of these three parts, the continuous development of the plot, and the loss of personnel, at the end of the third part, the remaining team is less than half of the original half, which is very miserable, and it fully proves the difference of this TV series.

From the fourth part, the protagonist team began to absorb new members one after another, the team members had many new faces, and the goals and development of the whole team also changed, which can indeed be said to be two parts.

Two large sections, six small parts were filmed one by one, and today is the time when all the actors in the first stage get together to deepen their impression and get acquainted with each other. (To be continued......)
