Chapter 209: "The Silent Truth" is on the air
"The Legend of Killing Immortals" did not live up to the overwhelming publicity in the early stage.
On the day of the broadcast, the number of broadcasts in four hours directly exceeded 10 million.
And it has also become a frequent visitor on the Weite hot search list.
All kinds of entries have appeared on the hot search list one after another.
After the ending of Xianjian II, such a drama with explosive potential finally appeared.
Of course, although the popularity is undoubtedly dominant.
But on the whole, the reputation of the show is not very good.
At the beginning, on the day of the broadcast of Xianjian II, the score was more than nine points on the petal network.
Even when the follow-up drama came to an end of the finale, the score of the drama dropped because of the over-distribution of knives at the end.
But the follow-up still rose back.
The current rating has remained at 8.9 points, which is already a very high rating.
Even among the film and television dramas broadcast last year, they definitely belong to the top scores.
And it is precisely because "The Legend of Killing Immortals" is a Xianxia drama, and it is still a Xianxia drama with a huge investment, that it is inevitable that it will be compared with Xu Ji's two fairy swords.
This has also led to the fact that most of the ratings given by some netizens on Petal.com are three stars.
As Sang Shaolong predicted, the final score will not be higher than seven points.
Of course, Penguin Video doesn't attach so much importance to the so-called Petal Network score.
In comparison, the playback data in all aspects is the key.
It's not that it hasn't appeared before, and the ratings of many film and television dramas are not high, but it doesn't affect them to become popular dramas.
At present, many passers-by, viewers and netizens are of the same opinion.
Although this drama has all kinds of hard flaws, many places make people feel that the logic is unreasonable, and there are many loopholes.
In terms of disadvantages, you can count a lot.
But there are no dramas to watch now, although the evaluation given is not high, but the follow-up will continue to be chased.
......
Penguin Video, which was supposed to be a normal holiday Saturday, has now started working overtime en masse.
President Xu Sheng came to the company in the morning, and after reading all aspects of the data of "The Legend of Killing Immortals", the whole person finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Since the end of last year, because of the appearance of Xianjian II, Penguin Video has been suppressed for too long, and it has completely lost the appearance of the former industry leader.
And if "The Legend of Killing Immortals" can succeed this time, it will be tantamount to a shot in the arm for the entire company.
As for the bad reviews on the Internet, not only Xu Sheng, but even some other high-level executives didn't care.
Which drama doesn't have bad reviews?
Many times, bad reviews do not prevent a drama from becoming a hit.
Especially like this drama with such a huge investment.
Some small-investment dramas want to become popular dramas, and relying on their own word-of-mouth to counterattack is a way.
But "The Legend of Killing Immortals" obviously doesn't need it.
"Mr. Xu, this was handed to me by Vice President Wen after work yesterday."
The assistant looked quite happy when he saw Xu Sheng's expression, and took this opportunity to quickly hand over the things.
Xu Sheng heard the assistant's words and took the envelope in the other party's hand with a strange expression.
After taking a closer look, I found out that it was Wen Hao's resignation letter?
"He's going to resign?"
Xu Sheng was a little surprised.
Although he does hope that Wen Hao, who doesn't listen to himself much, can disappear from Penguin Video.
But recently, Wen Hao has really settled down a lot, and he is no longer looking for trouble.
I just didn't expect the other party to resign.
The resignation of Wen Hao at the vice president level is still a big deal even for Penguin Video.
"Are the people gone?"
Xu Sheng asked.
Although I didn't want to really keep it, I still have to do superficial work.
The assistant replied, "The things in Vice President Wen's office have been cleaned up." ”
"In such a hurry?"
Xu Sheng whispered.
I was going to give each other a farewell ceremony or something.
But now it doesn't seem necessary.
Anyway, Wen Hao and himself don't deal with each other very well, so it's good to leave.
Just enough to be able to lift his people up from below.
At present, another vice president, Bi Feihong, is also his own person.
Xu Sheng can be regarded as completely gaining control of Penguin Video at this time.
......
""The Legend of Killing Immortals" feels that the growth of the task is really a bit thin, why did the originally ostrich-like male protagonist suddenly become a person with an uneven road and a strong sense of justice?"
"There are too few supporting roles, and there is no charm of the protagonist group in Fairy Sword."
"The villain doesn't look oppressive at all, and even the look makes people feel a little funny."
"Obviously, the villain is the Moon Worship Sect Master in the Imitation Immortal Sword One, but it does not have the special villain arc like the Moon Worship Sect Master at the beginning."
......
Seeing the complaints of netizens on the Internet about the broadcast of "The Legend of Killing Immortals" yesterday, Sang Shaolong is actually still hesitant to do this video.
The slots of this drama have actually been said by netizens.
After all, the popularity of the drama is so high, and there are many people who follow the drama.
If you don't find a special entry point, the video won't have a great response.
"Forget it, let's wait until I finish watching today's broadcast of "Legend of the Night".
Sang Shaolong made a decision immediately.
In fact, he knew very well at this time that even if the drama "The Legend of Killing Immortals" pounced again, it was estimated that it would not be able to pounce anywhere.
Penguin Video chose to launch Legend of the Night a day earlier, which is indeed a very wise decision.
It brings no small advantages.
At the moment, it seems that because the last four of the eight episodes of the update require members.
There are already quite a few people who have opened a membership directly.
There are fewer people who are willing to open kiwi members for "Tales of the Night" in the future.
Why don't you go and see the new drama at station G first?
Sang Shaolong suddenly remembered the new drama that Xu Ji Company cooperated with G Station.
Because of the crazy marketing on both sides of Penguin and Kiwifruit, the new drama on Station G has no sense of existence.
But after all, it is Xu Ji as the screenwriter, and the protagonist is still the popular Xu Changqing actor Ran Bai in Xianjian II.
More or less, there are still some people who are concerned.
There are also audiences who like suspense themes, and they also have great expectations for the second drama of the suspense theater of Station G.
Sang Shaolong is not a lover of suspense themes, but he is still very interested in the story of Xu Ji's screenwriter.
The daylight time is very short here in Sang Shaolong.
As a self-media person, irregular work and rest are common.
Especially people like Sang Shaolong, who work more efficiently at night than during the day.
Yesterday, I chased the drama and wrote a relevant analysis and evaluation or something, and I also cut a video, Sang Shaolong didn't sleep until four o'clock in the morning.
When I woke up the next day, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon.
Have a meal and swipe your phone or something by the way, and then wait for the two dramas of Kiwi and Station G to start at eight o'clock in the evening.
......
At the same time, Chi Jiang was talking to You Man on the phone at Station G.
"The Silent Truth" is about to be launched, although Chi Jiang has been mentally prepared before, but when he sees that the popularity of "The Silent Truth" is far less than that of the other two dramas, he is still a little worried.
The same goes for Youman.
Xu Ji and Sha Yetong are both busy with their own business.
Xu Ji is preparing for his next shooting plan.
Sha Yetong couldn't spare time because he planned to hold his first concert.
This leads to the fact that although "The Silent Truth" is about to be launched, on the contrary, Tongji Entertainment's You Man is the most concerned.
There may also be another thing to focus on director Poon.
But the other party is actually more interested in the script that Xu Xi wrote for himself next than paying attention to the launch of "The Silent Truth".
For Pom, the finished film of "The Silent Truth" has lived up to its expectations.
No matter what the final results are, this drama can score high in Pang Er's heart.
Instead of worrying about the results, Ponel wants to start the filming of his next drama.
So I often went to Xu Ji to ask about the script of the new play.
But Xu Ji's current shooting plan is still undecided.
just told Pang Er that he was already writing the script of the new play.
Of course, what Xu Ji is writing in his mouth, in fact, he hasn't even created a new folder yet.
......
Time flies quickly, and at eight o'clock in the evening on Saturday, "The Silent Truth" on the G side and "Legend of the Night" on the Kiwi side were launched at the same time.
However, there is also a big difference in terms of popularity.
"The Silent Truth", as a new drama with a small cost investment, has actually paid enough attention.
Because of Xu Ji's bonus as a screenwriter, compared with some small-cost dramas, it can be regarded as winning at the starting line.
But compared with "Tales of the Night", the gap is huge.
After all, the other party's previous publicity was really invested in a large amount of publicity expenses.
There is a huge gap in the number of people known by the two dramas.
Sang Shaolong himself is actually more interested in "Legend of the Night".
The trailer of "The Silent Truth" seems to him to be similar to ordinary low-budget suspense dramas.
There is nothing bright about it.
"Legend of the Night" presents a crushing contrast in all aspects of the theme and setting.
However, Sang Shaolong still plans to watch this new drama on station G first.
Keep "Tales of the Night" to the end.
......
entered station G and opened the just-updated "The Silent Truth", Sang Shaolong quickly calmed down and watched the drama.
An eerie origami appears on a black background, and the words "Theater of Suspense" appear underneath.
Sang Shaolong naturally knows about the suspense theater.
The original "The Beginning" can also be regarded as a suspense theater drama.
It's just that at that time, because Station G and Tongji Entertainment had not yet reached a cooperation, Sang Shaolong saw the logo of "Suspense Theater" for the first time.
At the same time, Tongji Entertainment's unique opening watermark also appeared.
This Sang Shaolong is very familiar.
After all, Sang Shaolong didn't know how many times he had watched the two fairy swords.
As the opening of "The Silent Truth" played, information about the corresponding creators also surfaced.
"Starring: Ran Bai"
......
"Special Guest Star: She Yue"
......
"Director: Pon"
In addition to the people who are familiar to Sang Shaolong, the name that appears the most is naturally Xu Ji.
"Screenwriter: Xu Ji"
"Superintendent: Xu Ji"
"Post Editing: Xu Ji"
......
Sang Shaolong also saw it at this time, although the director of the play was Pang Er.
But in fact, Xu Ji is still the main role in this drama.
is not only the screenwriter, but also ensures the final completion of the whole show.
The position of producer of some film and television dramas is actually not a real power position, and many times does not interfere much in the overall filming and production.
But Xu Ji's part-time job is definitely different from the others.
Seeing Xu Ji's important position in this drama, Sang Shaolong's interest increased greatly.
Although it is not directed by Xu Ji, this drama can be regarded as half of the other party's work in his opinion.
The title ends, and the words "Episode 1" appear on the screen.
At the same time, the words "2010, Jiangtan City" on the screen testify to the time and place where the story took place.
This place is supposed to be fictional, though.
"This is Teacher Qiao Kuan?"
Seeing the middle-aged man on the screen who was about to enter the subway station in a panic and pulling his suitcase, Sang Shaolong quickly recognized him.
This official actor is actually not very famous, and ordinary viewers can't recognize it.
Sang Shaolong, as the UP master of the film and television area, must know more actors than others.
I still have an impression of this actor who once won the Yunyu Award for Best Supporting Actor.
Speaking of which, Xu Ji's company seems to work closely with these official actors.
I like to use the official actors, too.
From "The Beginning" to "Mountains and Seas", and even when Xianjian Er, there were many official old actors.
didn't continue to dwell on this, Sang Shaolong continued to watch the drama.
The middle-aged man's suitcase seemed to be heavy, and he looked quite struggling to pull it into the subway.
He pulled his suitcase and tried to get through the security check of the subway, but was stopped.
Suddenly, after being stopped for inspection, he began to flee frantically, but was soon surrounded by subway security personnel.
In such a situation, the man directly shouted that there was a bomb in the box.
At the same time, he took out a remote control from his pocket, and frightened the people around him to retreat again and again.
Although the police were alerted and dispatched quickly, the suspect claimed to have a bomb and confronted each other until the night without any progress.
It was at this time that the captain of the criminal police brigade played by She Yue appeared.
She calmly approached the suspect with the excuse of handing water.
When the other party tried to take the water on the ground, he shot and wounded him and subdued him.
But even when he was pressed to the ground, the man still desperately shouted loudly:
"Exploded!"
"It's going to blow up!"
......
EOD personnel arrived and carefully opened the box.
But what happened next was beyond everyone's expectations.
There was no bomb inside as the man called it, but a corpse curled up in a ball.
......
"This beginning?"
"Doesn't that seem good?"
When Sang Shaolong saw the corpse in the box, his interest was immediately aroused.
I have to say that such a short beginning of less than ten minutes really aroused the curiosity of the audience.
Why did this man say that the box was a bomb?
Who is this corpse?
If it is to throw the corpse, why would you choose such a stupid way as taking the subway?
.......
Soon the police found out the identity of the deceased, who was called Jiangyang.
The man who threw the body was called Zhang Chao, and he was also a very famous local lawyer.
He had previously taught at the University of Political Science and Law, and was a teacher and friend of the deceased.
Later, Zhang Chao fell in love with a female student, so he quit his job as a teacher and opened his own law firm.
Meanwhile, by the river, police officers who were searching for a murder of a eucalyptus were looking for the buried body.
But because of the heavy rain that had just fallen, all the relevant traces disappeared, and there was not much progress for a while.
A master of breaking eucalyptus named Yan Liang asked everyone to insert bamboo into the ground, and then pulled it out to smell the earth, and soon found the location of the corpse.
......
Sang Shaolong suddenly realized that something was wrong at this time.
How do you feel that this Yan Liang is the protagonist?
But this is a middle-aged actor who plays Yan Liang's official role, and he is not Ran Bai.
Wait a minute?
Sang Shaolong suddenly recalled.
The name of the deceased that flashed just now.
Jiangyang?
If he remembers correctly, this should be the name of the character played by Ran Bai.
How is it that as soon as this comes up, the protagonist dies?
Sang Shaolong realized that he might use flashbacks to enter the memories next.
But because of this, he was even more curious about why Jiang Yang died.
......
The next interrogation went very smoothly, and Zhang Chao, who was caught by the police, took the initiative to confess.
also explained in great detail his mental journey of killing Jiang Yang because of a debt dispute and then throwing his body along the way.
Because of a problem with the taxi, I got into the subway station by mistake and was arrested.
Zhang Chao's confession attitude was so good that the police were a little surprised.
It's just that in some details, it seems a little vague.
For example, he said that he strangled the other person, but he couldn't remember whether it was the front or the back.
Although these problems have arisen, all the evidence is completely consistent with what Zhang Chao said.
However, the police also found some details.
Zhang Chao has more than 10 years of experience as a lawyer and has almost never lost a lawsuit.
The only time was to defend the innocence of his own student, Jiang Yang, who was also the deceased this time, and failed.
Just when Sang Shaolong felt a little strange.
Zhang Chao, who was in court, suddenly announced that he had never killed anyone.
Jiang Yang's death had nothing to do with him.
And also provided a very clear alibi, when Jiang Yang died, others were out of town.
All kinds of coincidences make this eucalyptus even more confusing.
At the same time, for this eucalyptus, the police station also invited Yan Liang, a master of breaking eucalyptus.
Yan Liang interrogated Zhang Chao, but Zhang Chao told him at this time that after 24 days, the police would naturally see the truth.
At the end of the first episode, Sang Shaolong frowned.
The first season of this show is very information-dense and not friendly to the average viewer.
But at the same time, it directly boosted the audience's sense of expectation.
The various puzzles inside make you want to look down.
This is a common method of suspense dramas.
In this regard, "The Silent Truth" is clearly qualified.
But at the same time, the disadvantage of suspense dramas is that they start high and go low.
If the subsequent decryption phase does not meet expectations, it is easy to make people feel a great sense of loss.
I don't know how Xu Ji did as a screenwriter this time?
Sang Shaolong continued to watch.
Just when the task force was in a state of confusion, Zhang Xiaoqian suddenly received an anonymous letter, which contained a partial photo and a few crosses, signed "hgp".
According to the content, the sender planned to launch a nine-square grid game, mailing a photo every three days from now on, gathering nine photos for 24 consecutive days to publicly kill Jiangyang's murderer, and asked the "Jiangtan Evening News" to publish the photo on the front page, otherwise it would detonate a bomb installed somewhere in the city.
The eucalyptus began to get weird in its direction.
Who's planning this?
Yan Liang began his own investigation.
Soon, Yan Liang found out that the "hgp" who signed the payment was a person named Hou Guiping.
But the other party died ten years ago.
At the same time, the perspective switched, and the time came to 2003.
At that time, Jiang Yang had just graduated and was full of spirits.
He was also admitted to the prosecutor of Pingkang County, and his girlfriend was the daughter of the deputy procurator general of the procuratorate.
The future is bright.
One day, Li Jing, a classmate from college, called.
Ask the other party to help check the eucalyptus.
Their college classmate and Li Jing's boyfriend, Hou Guiping, is dead.
In the police report, he absconded after QJ, and then committed suicide by jumping into the river in fear of crime.
But judging from Jiang Yang's behavior towards him, it is impossible for the other party to do such a thing.
......
Jiang Yang had a hunch that this was a eucalyptus with very deep water, so he hesitated to take it.
But his girlfriend reminded him of his vocation and original intention as a prosecutor.
Next, Jiang Yang began to track down the truth about eucalyptus.
However, the process did not seem to be so smooth.
Jiang Yang demanded that the eucalyptus scrolls be retrieved and re-examined, but Li Jianguo, the head of the criminal police, refused to hand over Hou Guiping's eucalyptus materials on the grounds that the eucalyptus was sealed and sealed.
In the end, he could only use money to buy an autopsy report from Chen Mingzhang, who was a forensic examiner at the time.
At the same time, the procuratorate leaders deliberated, and Ding Jian believed that there was not enough evidence to overturn the original case, so he notified Jiang Yang to stop the investigation.
However, Jiang Yang had already made up his mind to avenge Hou Guiping, even if he couldn't find out, he would make a secret visit, and he would inevitably uphold justice to the end and not let the truth be buried.
Time jumped again, and it came to 2000, when Hou Guiping had just come to Miaogao Township to teach.
Because of his gentle personality, he was particularly popular with other teachers, and they bought wine and food one after another. Because Miaogao Township is a remote and impoverished area, there are basically no teachers who want to live here for a long time, and even this middle school is donated by the Kahn Group.
After starting the formal classes, Hou Guiping found that some students could not be admitted to university because of their biases, and ended up working in a nearby textile factory.
He set up a repeat class for this purpose, so that these girls can attend classes after work, and can be admitted to university to change their fate.
But soon things happened.
The gangster Huang Mao in the town was entangled with the girls in the class, and even lied to Hou Guiping that it was the other party's cousin who picked him up.
But the girl who was taken away, Weng Meixiang, committed suicide by taking pesticides later.
......
"The Silent Truth" has been updated with a total of four episodes this time.
But the whole show is only twelve episodes.
After watching four episodes, Sang Shaolong is still very confused about what kind of story this show wants to tell.
The perspective switches to three planes, although this aspect is distinguished by different filters, which does not feel confusing.
Sang Shaolong also understood.
But Sang Shaolong still didn't understand what he planned to talk about in the whole drama.
Four episodes have passed, and the puzzles in it have not only not decreased, but have increased.
The truth of Hou Guiping's death, the truth of Jiang Yang's death, the content of that nine-square grid photo.
What was the purpose of the scruffy water delivery workers in 2010?
......
After Sang Shaolong chased "The Silent Truth", he was a little disappointed.
Just looking at the content of these four episodes, although there is a high degree of suspense, it is very different from previous suspense dramas.
If that's the case, "The Silent Truth" probably won't be able to create miracles this time.
The limelight of the two dramas "Legend of the Night" and "The Legend of Killing Immortals" is so big that it is not a small suspense drama that can resist at all.
Although the twelve episodes are streamlined, the production level of each episode is very high, comparable to the quality of the movie.
But the story is not as attractive as it seems.
Even although this three-line parallel method is novel, it may not be as good as some traditional suspense dramas to attract audiences.
.....。
