Chapter 448: The new drama starts broadcasting, and the audience's reaction
The two episodes of "Langya Bang" were updated on the first day of broadcasting, and I watched it unconsciously. Especially in the second episode, the Empress Dowager played by Zheng Zhihua is very expressive, which directly establishes the texture of this drama in terms of performance.
It's just that after watching the second episode, the audience suddenly found that the back was gone. Only two episodes were updated on the first day, and it seems that I haven't watched much yet, so I finished watching it.
I can't get enough of it, I can't stop, I scratch my ears and cheeks, and then I am indignant. Li Xiaoli was very interested, and completely entered the state of chasing the drama, and suddenly finished watching: "That's it?" Why are there only two episodes? ”
"Satellite TV synchronization, isn't it just two episodes a day." Liu Xiangnan actually feels that two episodes a day is not enough to watch, but he will not show this emotion.
Li Xiaoli's mood was more outgoing, and she patted the sofa and said angrily: "I'm just on top, and I can't get off in the middle of the card." Liu Xiangnan soothed: "Isn't there still "Hibiscus Tent Warm Spring Festival", let's go back and finish reading, and then we can almost wash and sleep." "It's half past ten, but young people these days rarely go to bed so early.
"Okay." Li Xiaoli picked up the remote control as she spoke, reopened "Furong Tent Warm Spring Festival", and watched the second episode.
It's just that the look and feel of watching the second episode is completely different from when I watched the first episode. Li Xiaoli complained while watching, and the more she complained, the more ruthless she became: "The more I look at it, the more I feel that the picture of this sentence is fake, the color of this dress is too gorgeous, who would wear such a fancy one in the real world."
"Why is this actor's face so stiff, his face is like scraping putty, even if the pores can't be seen, he can't see it in the middle of the people." Liu Xiangnan interjected: "Don't you female audiences like this style of painting? This is a peerless beautiful man, suave and suave, now is the era of men. Li Xiaoli complained while swallowing melon seeds: "Graceful, peerless beauty, it should be Mei Changsu's appearance, standing there quietly, like ...... Independence is what it feels like. Liu Xiangnan shook his head and smiled: "Don't, Mei Changsu played by Fang Xing, the makeup is not very thick, and there is a mole on the left side of the face near the ear." Li Xiaoli thought back a little, revealing a magical expression: "Yes, the moles next to Fang Xing's ears have been filmed in the camera, and they don't look like they have much makeup."
"But why do you think that a humble gentleman should be like this?
"You don't even need to have a big performance, just stand there quietly and feel like he's the person in the story."
"It's amazing. I found out a long time ago. I also checked Fang Xing's information for this reason, and this product is not a performance professional. "Liu Xiangnan works in a TV station, and he has a lot of contact with TV dramas, and sometimes he needs to use the information of stars in his work, so he did check it.
Li Xiaoli pinched a melon seed and shook it in front of her, and said: "Didn't he minored in musical theater performance in Dongyin, although he didn't specialize in acting, he should have studied it."
"If you talk about acting, I still accept him, and what is acting like.
""Hurricane" was only broadcast in the first half of the year, and I originally thought that the image of 'An Xin' would affect this drama, after all, "Hurricane" is too popular." In the actor industry, there is indeed a situation where a famous character affects an actor's life.
If this actor can't make a breakthrough, he may have to live in the shadow of this role for the rest of his life. "Hurricane" is indeed very popular, before the launch of "Langya Bang", many people did feel that the character image of "Hurricane" would affect "Langya Bang".
After all, the two dramas have completely different styles and different historical backgrounds, but they both starred Fang Xing. When the audience watches the drama, once the two characters are connected, they will definitely play the play, in that case, the perception of watching the drama will plummet.
Liu Xiangnan thought about it seriously and said: "When you say this, it is true that Fang Xing's image in "Langya Bang" and "Hurricane" does not have a string of scenes.
"The main reason for this is the persona.
Fang Xing's image in "Hurricane" is black and thin. In "Langya Bang", the image is pale and weak, and the contrast between the two is very great, and it is not easy to string plays.
"Hey! I thought of a possibility, you said that it is possible that Fang Xing deliberately designed it this way.
"He played ugly in "Hurricane", and his image was dark and thin. In "Langya Bang", the style of painting changed 180 degrees, playing the role of a weak scholar who is as gentle as jade and frail and sickly.
"The images of the two characters are very different, so the audience will naturally not string the show." Li Xiaoli nodded in agreement: "It's really possible." While watching the second episode of "Furong Tent Warm Spring Festival", the two discussed "Langya Bang", and the painting style was very peculiar.
Before I knew it, it was half past eleven. The second episode of "Furong Tent Warm Spring Festival" has also been broadcast, but Li Xiaoli watched it lonely.
It seems to have seen it, but it seems that it has not been seen.
"That's it? What is this episode about? Li Xiaoli realized it in hindsight and was a little confused.
"I discussed an episode of "Langya Bang", but I didn't watch it anyway. I'm not going to make up for it, I'm going to wash and sleep, and I'm going back to Taiwan tomorrow to work overtime. If you want to see it, go back and watch it yourself. Liu Xiangnan stood up and moved his tired shoulders and went to the bathroom to wash up.
Li Xiaoli stared at the TV and thought for a while, but she couldn't arouse her interest in rewatching the second episode of "Furong Tent Warm Spring Festival".
Just now the TV broadcast "Furong Tent Warm Spring Festival", both of them can work "Langya Bang", but now that it is so late, they are even less interested in making up for it.
She pressed the shutdown button, cleaned up the coffee table, packed the garbage, and went to wash up. …… All over the country, there are many viewers like Liu Xiangnan and Li Xiaoli.
Most of the audience, when they saw the two dramas, they would feel at first glance that the picture of "Hibiscus Tent Warm Spring Festival" was very delicate and beautiful.
"Hibiscus Tent Warm Spring Festival" takes the route of appearance, and the clothes are mainly gorgeous, including architectural style, and filters are all for the gorgeous picture.
In this regard, "Hibiscus Tent Warm Spring Festival" is a success, because the audience really thinks that the picture of this drama is very beautiful at first glance, just like an oil painting.
Looking at "Langya Bang" again, the color of the costume is far less gorgeous than "Furong Tent Warm Spring Festival", and the color is even a little simple.
If the male protagonist of "Hibiscus Tent Warm Spring Festival" wears brocade clothes, then the male protagonist of "Langya Bang" wears a simple caftan shirt.
It's just that the gorgeous style of "Furong Tent Warm Spring Festival" feels very amazing at first glance, but after watching an episode, I began to feel aesthetic fatigue.
"Langya Bang" is just the opposite, the painting style is soft, and there are no too eye-catching colors, which also makes the picture closer to reality, and the more you look at it, the more comfortable you feel.
In addition, since the second episode of "Langya Bang", the actors have been crazy about their acting skills, and their performances are fine to every micro-expression.
So much so that on the first day, some viewers began to watch the first two episodes. …… The next day is January 3rd, the third day of the New Year's holiday.
Although it is a holiday, several satellite TV stations have new dramas on the air, and there must be people in the TV station who have to work overtime. Cao Sanchun, director of the editor-in-chief office of Jiangnan Satellite TV, only took two days off and returned to work at the TV station.
The drama "Furong Tent Warm Spring Festival" was talked about by Cao Sanchun and Chen Wenhan, and then suggested that the leaders of the station buy this drama and broadcast it on New Year's Day.
Of course, Cao Sanchun suggested buying "Furong Tent Warm Spring Festival", not because he thought that this drama could beat "Langya Bang", but because it was cost-effective.
In order to talk about the TV station, Chen Wenhan's price has been reduced to 1 million per episode. This price is already very low for a TV series with an investment of 150 million.
Moreover, it is still a simulcast of two stations, which means that Jiangnan Satellite TV only spent 500,000 yuan per episode to buy the premiere of "Furong Tent Warm Spring Festival".
At this price, if the ratings can explode, it will be an unexpected surprise. Although the industry is generally more optimistic about "Langya Bang", "Furong Tent Warm Spring Festival" is a popular theme after all, and there is still the possibility of becoming a small hit.
The theme of ancient puppets has a feature, there are no requirements for acting skills, as long as the appearance of the leading actor meets the aesthetics of fans.
This type of drama, even if the plot is a little bloody and the acting skills are a little embarrassing, but only if it meets the taste of fans, it still has the potential to become a hit.
The picture of "Hibiscus Tent Warm Spring Festival" is very exquisite, an absolute beauty at first sight. When Cao Sanchun returned to the TV station, there were very few people in the station.
After all, it is still the New Year's Day holiday, and the filming and interview work in the station have stopped, and only the employees responsible for daily maintenance are working overtime.
Cao Sanchun walked to the office, and when he passed a workstation, he tapped his fingers on the folder on the table and said, "Bring in the data on the launch of last night's new drama." ”
"Okay, Director Cao." The employee at the workstation is Liu Xiangnan. When Liu Xiangnan returned to the station in the morning, he printed out all the broadcast data, but he didn't have time to read it carefully.
He cleaned up the desktop, took the three folders, followed behind Cao Sanchun, and entered the director's office.
Cao Sanchun put the briefcase on the desk, sat down and asked, "Sit down first, the new drama started last night, did you watch it?" Liu Xiangnan nodded and replied, "I saw it." However, he didn't watch it on Jiangnan Satellite TV, but on the TV version of the taro video.
Because his wife is an employee of Taro Video, he uses the free Taro Video Annual Meeting. Cao Sanchun smiled and asked, "What about "Langya Bang"? ”
"Uh......" Liu Xiangnan hesitated for a moment and replied, "I also saw it." He didn't explicitly say that he mainly watched "Langya Bang", but he didn't watch "Furong Tent Warm Spring Festival".
After all, "Hibiscus Tent Warm Spring Festival" was broadcast by the TV station where he worked, so he couldn't say that this drama was not good in front of the director.
"How does it feel?" Cao Sanchun asked again.
"It's not bad, the picture is exquisite, it's beautiful." Liu Xiangnan was very serious about finding a place to praise, and finally found that it seemed that he could only praise like this.
He didn't remember the key plots, and some of the plots were very bloody. For example, in the first episode, the male number one played by Chen Wenhan accidentally collided with the female number one, and then fell down, and the female number one fell on Chen Wenhan's chest, and her mouth hit each other accurately.
Liu Xiangnan frowned at the time, but Li Xiaoli on the side watched it with relish and felt that the plot was very exciting.
Similar episodes often appear in idol dramas I watched before. Anyway, when the male and female protagonists fall, their mouths are like having radar guidance, and they must kiss together.
In the past, Liu Xiangnan often complained about this kind of bridge, and then was criticized by Li Xiaoli for not having romantic cells. Cao Sanchun didn't come to listen to the employees' evaluation of the new drama, he reached out to take the data report and asked casually: "How were the ratings last night?" Is it okay? ”
"Uh...... I haven't had time to watch it yet, and it seems that the average ratings have not changed much. Liu Xiangnan only looked at the average ratings last night, which was not much different from the previous ratings.
Cao Sanchun looked at the data report and first took a look at the ratings of the first episode of "Furong Tent Warm Spring Festival": "1.36%, it's okay." "For a TV series that only cost 500,000 episodes, with a rating of 1.36% on the air, what more bicycles?
It's just that when Cao Sanchun continued to look down, his expression began to change. Because of the ratings of each time period on the report, it dropped all the way from 1.36% to 1.08%.
Ratings from 8 to 9 p.m. last night were fine, with not much of a drop, but after 9 p.m., the ratings began to plummet.
In one night, the ratings dropped by nearly 30%, which is a very scary number. In this case, it is already necessary to find someone to come out and take the blame.
"What's going on? Why do ratings drop so much after 9 o'clock? Cao Sanchun felt that things were not good.
Because the time of 9 o'clock in the evening is exactly the time when the second episode of "Furong Tent Warm Spring Festival" will be broadcast.
Especially during the time when there were a few commercial breaks, the ratings plummeted. Generally speaking, it is normal for the ratings of TV stations to drop when the ads are inserted, but usually they only drop for a minute or two, and when the ads are over, the ratings will rise again.
However, last night, the ratings of the advertising dropped and never came back. The more Cao Sanchun looked at this ratings data, his expression was also serious.
The drop is close to 30%, which is comparable to a broadcast accident. Cao Sanchun hurriedly picked up the landline on the table, gave it to the department in charge of ratings data, and asked, "Is last night's ratings data counted?" Is there a leak? His first reaction was that there was something wrong with the statistics.
Ratings statistics are very complex, and it's not uncommon to leave out some of the data when aggregating the data.
So Cao Sanchun first confirmed whether there was any error in the data for the first time. Soon, he received an answer that there was no problem with the data.
"What's the situation? The ratings of the start broadcast are still okay, but why is the decline so big? Cao Sanchun couldn't figure out why.
This "Hibiscus Tent Warm Spring Festival" was purchased by him, and if the ratings are too overwhelming, he will also have to review it at the work meeting.
Liu Xiangnan picked up the data table and looked at it carefully, thought for a while, raised his hand and said: "Director, I think of a reason...... Cao Sanchun's mood is a little anxious now, urging: "Say whatever you think!" Liu Xiangnan pointed to the data on the table for each sharp drop and said: "Every time there is a big drop, it is when the advertisement is broadcast, this is a normal decline, and the problem is that after the advertisement, the ratings have not risen back."
"I think it may be that the audience who changed the channel did not change back.
"Is it possible that the audience changed the channel to see another show, and then forgot to change it back?" His idea is not a simple guess, but his personal experience of watching TV with Li Xiaoli last night.
