Chapter 268: The Myth of Ratings

"Your childhood, my childhood, it all seems to be the same. Small shoulders and big school bags, go to school. New era, new ideas, new looks. Happy learning moral, intellectual, physical and aesthetic, each is a strength...... Playful, moral, we are all the same, if we are not careful inside and outside the school, we will cause trouble...... When I returned home, my parents' faces were stretched again, and when I saw that the situation was not good, my grandparents hid behind them...... If you talk about it, you can't stop talking about it. Give us a free peer square, let us create our own zào, maybe it will be better, and before you know it, it will exceed your imagination...... I said Mommy, oops! Can you give me a corner where I can completely relax, with lots of comics and my favorite Ronaldo...... Now it's just an accident, and the teacher actually praises me for being a genius. Caus_Your nagging is everywhere, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, arts and sciences. Zinc supplementation, iron supplementation, blood supplementation, calcium supplementation......"

In June, none of the films produced by Xiao Ran's three film companies have been completed, but there is good news from the other TV companies.

"Family with Children" officially landed on Yenching TV on Children's Day on June 1st, and the broadcast time is two episodes from 7 to 8 o'clock every night, which happens to be stuck when most families have dinner, and the family can sit around the living room to watch this family sitcom.

This TV series "Family with Children" is suitable for audiences of any age, and Xiao Ran also specially asked his sister Xiao Xiao to sing the ending song of the TV series, and renamed the ending song "Children of Sunshine".

There are four parts of "Family with Children", and Xiao Ran has only seen the first part in its entirety, so he wrote the script of the first part. Now the plot of the first two episodes is about two divorced men and women Liu Mei and Xia Donghai, and Liu Mei has a daughter Liu Xing. And Xia Donghai has a daughter Xia Xue and a son Xia Yu. Reunite with each other and become a new family!

And the first problem faced by this reorganized family is the rebellious eldest daughter, although Liu Xing is more naughty among the two sons, he has no opinion on the remarriage of his parents, and the younger Xia Yu naturally has no opinion, only Xia Xue is afraid that her stepmother will mean her, so she tries to ensure her position.

For example, at the dinner table, he deliberately disagreed with his stepmother Liu Mei, found a fake boyfriend to stimulate his parents, and cried in front of his father.

The whole TV series is full of a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere, which makes many families have a more harmonious relationship with each other after watching it.

And after the prime time of the TV series at seven or eight o'clock. When "Family with Children" ended, after a burst of advertising, the audience still held on to the TV, waiting to watch the TV series at nine o'clock, because everyone knew that from nine o'clock to ten o'clock, Yanjing TV will broadcast two episodes of Xiao Ran's new martial arts drama "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Sure enough, after the advertisement, what appeared was the Cantonese version of the theme song "Iron Blood Pill Heart" sung by Xiao Ran and Tang Yun in duet!

Tang Yun: I vaguely dreamed of it, and my heart was turbulent.

Xiao Ran: Put aside the world and break the grievances.

Chorus: Accompany each other to the horizon.

Xiao Ran: The desert is vast in all directions. Who is afraid of snow and frost, shooting the eagle and leading the bow to gallop outside, smiling proudly in this life.

Tang Yun: You should know that love is flowing water, and it is chaotic to cut it out of order.

Chorus: Experienced in the heart. Kindness and righteousness are dichotomy.

……

When Li Shengtian's version of "Dragon Babu" was broadcast before, people could be found watching it almost anywhere in the entire China, and the plot also became a hot topic. As a result, the novel of the same name also sold well.

But after "Dragon Babu", because the copyright is in Xiao Ran's hands. No one was able to start filming other Xiao Ran's martial arts novels, and only Yanjing TV bought the TV series copyright of "Dragon Babu". So you can start filming again according to the characters in it!

But after the final release, "Dragon Babu Prequel" and "Dragon Babu Sequel" all made the audience feel scorched by thunder after watching it.

So for a while, many viewers very much hoped that Xiao Ran and Director Li Shengtian could cooperate again and start filming other martial arts novels, but at this time, Director Li Shengtian was employed by Encyclopedia Film Company and began to become the director of the film.

You must know that no matter which country it is, after all, the director who starts filming a movie will be several levels higher than the director who makes a TV series, so generally the director who can make a movie will not come back to make a TV series, because this will give people in the entertainment industry a feeling that the director is starting to go downhill, or even starting to go back......

As the saying goes, good horses don't eat grass, and the characters who can realize their own shortcomings and return to make TV series after making movies, Xiao Ran knows only one thing in his past life or in this life, that is, Director To Qifeng, whom he personally admires very much, and who is also the director of the complete version of "Dragon City Years" in his previous life.

But in the end, when Xiao Ran became a TV production company and began to announce the start of filming his martial arts novels, many viewers were very excited, although Xiao Ran was not his own director, and there were not many people he knew about the new director Du Tianyu.

But since Xiao Ran started filming martial arts dramas by himself, it means that he should be ready to work hard so that he will not spoil his classic martial arts novels so much.

With this idea, many viewers have high expectations for the upcoming "Legend of the Condor Heroes", although the theme song of this TV series is in Cantonese, it still feels magnificent, and I have a little more expectations for the content of the TV series!

The background of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is set in the last years of the Song Dynasty, when the Jin people attacked the Song Dynasty and the political situation was turbulent.

Bao Xiqiao and Li Ping were pregnant and escaped, Guo Xiaotian's son Guo Jing was born and grew up on the grassland and became a member of Temujin's banner, and Yang Kang, the son of Yang Tiexin, was born in the Jin King's Mansion and recognized the thief as his father!

And in the second episode, Mei Chaofeng, the apprentice of the Eastern Evil Yellow Medicine Master, had also appeared, and taught Yang Kang the Nine Yin White Bone Claw, making Yang Kang already martial arts at a young age.

……

"How are the ratings after the launch of our two new dramas yesterday?"

When he returned to Shaw's Film Company the next day, Xiao Ran found his secretary, and the first thing he was most concerned about was the ratings of the two newly aired TV series.

The price negotiated between the TV producer and Yanjing TV is settled according to the later ratings, so the ratings naturally affect the income.

Of course, more importantly, Xiao Ran needs to decide the next filming arrangements of the TV production company according to the ratings, such as the novel "Evil Awe-inspiring" on his hand, and he is also ready to find a time to make it into a TV series!

Xiao Ran's secretary looked through the table to check it, and then replied to Xiao Ran: "Last night, the highest rating of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was 17%, and "Family with Children" was 14%. ”

Xiao Ran nodded, indicating that he was quite satisfied, in fact, Xiao Ran was already very satisfied with such good results on the first day of broadcasting.

You must know that there are more than 50 TV stations in China, and if you add some pay TV stations, there are more than 100 TV stations, of course, some TV stations need to pay to watch, but in the private sector, they all want to use some satellite receivers to watch ......

So under the competition of so many TV stations, it is already a myth that a Yanjing TV TV series can have more than 10% of the ratings, and now that the Internet is becoming more and more developed, there are many viewers who will also get used to watching online, and this part of the audience will also affect the ratings, but it costs ten yuan to watch each TV series on some online websites, so Xiao Ran can also get a share in this regard!

Now the ratings of "Family with Children" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" not only represent that Xiao Ran has a good income, but also represent that the road of TV series can continue.

For example, "Family with Children" has just aired two episodes, but there are already a lot of photos and dynamic pictures of Xiaoxue on the Internet, which also means that the audience still likes this well-behaved and cute little girl very much!

In the same way, TV series can also train a lot of new actors, because the audience has a long time span to watch TV series, so it is easier to like an actor!

For Xiao Entertainment Company, actors are also the company's wealth, so it's not just the income from the TV drama production, basically if a TV series can make an actor popular, then it has already been earned for Xiao Ran.

"Help me find Wen Hongwei!"

After listening to the ratings report, Xiao Ran said to the secretary.

The Wen Hongwei he needs to find is also a young filmmaker he values more, in fact, Wen Hongwei is seven years older than Xiao Ran, but twenty-seven years old is still a golden age for a filmmaker, especially a director.

And the reason why Xiao Ran looked at Chinese Hongwei is that he had already won the 24th Chinese Film Golden Dragon Award for Best New Director when he was twenty-one years old, and then the situation in the film industry was much worse than before, so Wen Hongwei has not started work for three years, and is even almost ready to change careers, once he could only rely on writing scripts for people for a living!

However, last year, Wen Hongwei joined Xiao Ran's team and became a member of Shaw's Entertainment Company, but because he is good at shooting Jianghu movies, he has always served as an assistant director for other people, and he has not had a chance to show his skills, so this time I found him to give him a chance, first test the water to see if his level has regressed, and prepare to make him the first director in the world to return from film director to shoot TV series!
