Chapter 317: The premiere data of "Parents' Love" is bleak
Song Ideal actually doesn't want to do this, after all, he is also a super first-line director, and it is really faceless to say this kind of thing.
But if you don't personally stare at Xu Ji to help write the script and urge the draft in person, I don't know when I will get the script of my new drama.
Facts have proved that this decision of Song Ideal is correct.
stayed in Rongcheng for a week, followed Xu Ji with high intensity, and went to his home to spend the night online, Xu Ji promised him that the script was also written.
In fact, it didn't take a lot of time to write the script itself.
On the contrary, it is the storyboard, notes, etc., some precautions or something, which is the longest time spent on Xu Ji.
As soon as he heard Xu Ji's script was written, Song Ideal couldn't wait for it.
It wasn't until the script was printed out that I took it and read it for the first time.
"Bright Sword?"
Looking at the name of the play, Song Ideal was actually a little puzzled.
After all, what Xu Ji promised him was a military-themed drama.
And the name sounds more like a martial arts drama.
However, he didn't have time to think about it at this time, but carefully read the content of the script.
......
Xu Ji didn't have time to wait for Song Ideal to finish reading the script, and after letting the company's people take care of the reception, he went directly to work in the post-editing room of "Infernal Affairs".
In the week that Xu Ji wrote the script, "Parents' Love" was finally about to be broadcast on the official station and station G.
During this time, Station G and the official eight stations were working very hard to promote.
On the contrary, Tongji Entertainment is more about cooperating with the work, and does not spend a lot of energy.
Especially on the official eight stations, perhaps because of the above and lower indicators, the director Liu Qifeng naturally spent all his energy and publicity resources on this drama.
Station G is also about the same, because it has been a long time since the broadcast of "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" ended.
Now that he has finally waited for the next drama of Tongji Entertainment, Chi Jiang also has great expectations.
It's just that "Parents' Love" belongs to the kind of announcement ending with thunder and rain.
Although it is a drama of Tongji Entertainment, with Xu Ji as the screenwriter, it is indeed a big publicity point.
But in fact, in addition, it seems that this is the only propaganda point.
First of all, there are no previous leading artists of Tongji Entertainment in this drama, such as Ji Yiyang and Ran Bai did not participate in anything.
The only An Cailing is just a supporting role with few scenes in it.
The cast is destined not to have a lot of traffic.
Although the starring Chen Kang has become famous by relying on dramas such as "Soldier Assault", "My Regiment Commander, My Regiment", and "Mountains and Seas".
But the impression left on the audience is still just a relatively good supporting role.
In addition, some of the official veteran actors in this drama, although they have properly beaten many traffic stars in their acting skills, they themselves do not have many fans and no one pays attention to them.
In addition, after the trailer of "Parents Love" was released, most of them were short plots of some parents, which directly dissuaded most young audiences.
The end result is that although the announcement seems to be a big battle, no one really pays attention to it.
The number of reservations for this drama on station G is known to be less than 100,000 for a period of time before the broadcast.
And it is estimated that many people are coming for the script written by Xu Ji, and those who really follow the drama will be greatly discounted at that time.
......
"At the moment, it really doesn't look optimistic."
Station G, it has been less than three days since the broadcast of "Parents' Love", and Chi Jiang, who had been comforting himself before, can only face reality helplessly.
He has already watched the entire drama of "Parents' Love", although he knows that the quality of this drama is very good, but he felt that the audience was not these young people at station G.
It's just that I didn't expect that the hard publicity would be of little use.
This drama is still the least concerned among Xu Ji's previous dramas.
Of course, the investment in this drama is not large, and the copyright fees they spend are not much.
So it's still very easy to get back to the basics, but with the peak moments of my previous dramas such as "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night", it is still a little difficult to accept such a gap.
It's okay on the official side, after all, a large part of the TV audience is now elderly.
In Chi Jiang's view, the audience of the drama "Parents Love" is indeed those people, and it is indeed very suitable to broadcast it on the official station.
Of course, Chi Jiang still has a glimmer of hope in his heart, after all, Xu Ji has not filmed such a drama before.
Whether it is "Mountains and Seas" and "My Captain, My Group", they can actually be liked by many young audiences.
In addition, for example, "Soldier Assault" has directly become a phenomenal hit drama, the kind suitable for all ages.
So this time in this "Parents' Love", Chi Jiang still hopes to achieve a better result.
......
The day before the broadcast of "Parents' Love", under Chi Jiang's operation, in addition to the homepage of station G with relevant promotional pages, related topics also appeared on Weite's hot search list.
It's a pity that, judging from the only a few hundred comments under the propaganda micro-special, there are really not many people who pay attention.
Sang Shaolong actually knew about this drama produced by Tongji Entertainment a long time ago.
But he, like everyone else, was not very interested in such subjects.
Even film and television self-media like him are not very interested, let alone some ordinary audiences.
Judging from the name of this drama, it should be regarded as a romance film, but it is not a common love story of handsome men and beautiful women.
Instead, it is the love story of the father's generation and even the older generation.
The actors in it are not the kind of idol stars with high traffic, it seems that no matter what aspect you look at, the audience of this show is not young audiences.
But in this era of the Internet, the younger generation holds the vast majority of the right to speak.
This time, even if Xu Ji is the screenwriter, Chi Jiang still doesn't have any desire to chase this "Parents' Love".
Even on the day of the broadcast, Sang Shaolong forgot about it because he was making a video.
......
Except for Sang Shaolong, most of the people who have paid attention to this drama before are in the same state.
In this way, "Parents' Love" did not cause much repercussions after it was launched, and there were not even many people discussing it on Weite.
At the same time, it is naturally an ugly premiere data.
"On the day of the premiere, there were only more than 2 million views?"
When Chi Jiang heard such data, he couldn't help but be startled in his heart.
In fact, if it is some other low-cost online drama or something, such a result is a relatively normal start.
But although the investment in "Parents Love" is small, it must far exceed those low-cost web dramas.
What's more, this is a drama of Tongji Entertainment, and this result is really a little too bad.
Even "My Leader, My Group", which had a very niche theme and a depressed and dull plot that was somewhat dissuaded, did not have such bad premiere data.
This may be the worst one in the drama written by Xu Ji.
"Mr. Chi, why did you say Xu Ji made such a drama?"
"With his ability, he can write about some other themes with a larger audience, and they are likely to become hits."
"How could it be like this "Parents' Love", pounced like this......"
In the film and television department of station G, a vice president spoke.
is obviously not very satisfied with the drama Xu Ji gave this time.
However, Chi Jiang was more determined.
"What do you think is the first thing that Xu Ji Company invests in and filming?"
Chi Jiang's question made the vice president who spoke just now fall silent.
In his opinion, film and television companies in the entertainment industry, the first thing that should not be watched when making dramas is the problem of return on investment?
To put it bluntly, it is to first consider whether the drama filmed can be popular.
But if it's Xu Ji, it's really a special existence.
Although the dramas filmed by the other party are basically very popular, it seems a little awkward to apply such a conclusion to the other party.
"For Xu Ji, in fact, the popularity of the drama is not the most important."
"Even if a drama is not popular enough, or it directly causes them to lose money, it is bearable for Tongji Entertainment."
"The most important thing for Tongji Entertainment now is not the question of whether the drama can be popular, but the reputation of Xu Ji and the drama."
Chi Jiang's words are actually not difficult to understand.
After all, when it comes to dramas produced by Xu Ji and Tongji Entertainment, the most common sentence is "Produced by Tongji, it must be a high-quality product." ”
As long as there is such an audience reputation, as long as it is a drama produced by Tongji Entertainment, the audience will not subconsciously consider the quality of the drama.
At most, the type of drama you are interested in is whether you are interested.
And if there is a contract with Station G, Tongji Entertainment really doesn't have to think much about recovering costs.
Because of the cooperation agreement signed by Chi Jiang Venture before, Xu Ji's company basically took all the risks.
As long as the drama is broadcast normally, the copyright fee given by Station G must be higher than the investment.
Of course, before that, Chi Jiang had the right to refuse the broadcast of this drama on station G.
In this case, Tongji Entertainment can only find a platform to talk about copyright again.
It's just that Chi Jiang has not used such a right so far.
Since the signing of the contract, Chi Jiang has chosen every drama of Tongji Entertainment and has not refused.
The same is true of this "Parents Love" this time.
......
"Xu Ji really overturned this time!"
"I didn't expect it."
"I'll just say he's too willful, how can he shoot whatever he wants every time!"
"How can an ordinary film and television company dare to invest in making a drama by itself?"
"Do you really think you can shoot a "Soldier Assault" every time?"
Penguin Video, President Xu Sheng's office, Bi Feihong, who has now been demoted from the position of vice president to department manager, said.
Although netizens don't have much interest in this drama, there are fewer people who pay attention.
But this time, "Parents' Love" was broadcast online on station G, and this new drama of Tongji Entertainment still made the three major video platforms vigilant.
encountered Tongji Entertainment's dramas in the same period before, and everyone still remembers what kind of ending they were.
In the face of Xu Ji and Tong Ji Entertainment, it is impossible not to be careful.
"It's hard to say now, don't take it lightly."
"In the previous dramas of Xu Ji, is there still less force in the later stage?"
"In December, we will increase the publicity of our two main dramas, and in the last month of this year, we must keep the first place."
Xu Sheng said with a serious expression.
In fact, he himself is similar to Bi Feihong in his heart, and he feels that this drama of Tongji Entertainment this time can't make any waves.
After all, the broadcast data of more than 2 million on the first day is really too bad.
And the starring role of this drama does not have much fan base, Xu Sheng really can't think of any situation that will be able to turn over.
Even if it was the previous "My Regiment Commander, My Regiment", there was still a point that attracted the audience from the original cast of "Soldier Assault".
"Parents' Love" is really nothing else attractive except for Xu Ji's screenplay.
In terms of subject matter, it's still a drama that doesn't make people much interested.
But even if he thought so, when facing Bi Feihong, Xu Sheng still reminded the other party to be vigilant.
Hearing Xu Sheng's words, Bi Feihong naturally didn't dare to refute it, and hurriedly agreed.
In fact, although he was demoted, he was still one of Xu Sheng's most trusted henchmen.
Except for the change in position, there is no big difference in salary and rights from before.
In the final analysis, even among the entire Penguin Group and so many factions, Xu Sheng still has a lot of influence and prestige.
Penguin Video is still Xu Sheng's final say, and it is not so easy for some people in the company's headquarters to intervene.
Bi Feihong knew who Xu Sheng's backer was, one of the founders of the Penguin Group.
That's why he follows Xu Sheng so firmly, even if he actually thinks that Xu Sheng's ability is just like that, and he is not the best manager of Penguin Video.
......
"From the total, it's good that the new drama on the G station is pounced, why don't you look happy?"
Kiwi Fruit Film and Television, Congzhu's assistant asked with a strange opening.
After all, Station G is a competitor, and Congzhu has no reason to see the new drama on the other side, so he doesn't care if he is unhappy, but he has a worried expression.
"Xu Ji, as a screenwriter's drama, can't be viewed with common sense."
"Have you forgotten the previous "My Leader, My Regiment"?"
From the bamboo casually replied.
In fact, the real thoughts in the heart are not like this.
She was considering whether to continue to talk about cooperation with Song Ideal.
This time, Xu Ji's new drama overturned, and if Song Ideal is another drama, the possibility of overturning is real.
Taking such a big risk and offering such high conditions is obviously not a cost-effective business.
But while the risks are high, the benefits are also large.
Like the previous head of the regiment, he originally felt that he had lost, but he turned the tables against the wind later, and even won this year's Yunyu Award.
This must have been something that no one could have thought of when the previous platforms grabbed the copyright together.
Let's wait and see what happens, anyway, Song Ideal's new drama won't be filmed for a while.
Just take a look at this "Parents Love", whether Xu Ji really overturned.
