Chapter 310: A Change in Identity

July is the month of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", and the TV series went from a 5% rating on the day of its premiere to a terrifying 10% on the night of the finale, while the average rating was as high as 8.6%.

At the beginning of the year, when "In the Name of the People" was on the air, it swept all TV dramas of the same period with an average rating of 8%, and broke the record for the highest ratings after the prosperity of the Internet in one fell swoop.

At that time, everyone thought that the drama "In the Name of the People" was already the undoubted annual ratings champion.

However, everyone didn't expect that it would be less than half a year after this ratings record comparable to a miracle was broken, and soon another TV series was born, creating a miracle again and breaking the record created by "In the Name of the People" again.

Xianjian not only broke the ratings record of the local station, but also performed well on the online platform, breaking many records.

The number of broadcasts that premiered on the day was 150 million, and a week after its release exceeded 800 million, and the total number of broadcasts exceeded 600 million in more than 20 days from the day of the premiere to the finale.

On the Penguin Video video platform, there are more than 30 million barrage interactions, and there are more than 500,000 comments at the bottom of Penguin Video, and the score is as high as 9.7 points.

On a professional film review platform like Douban, the performance of the drama The Legend of Sword and Fairy is also good, even in the eyes of discerning Douban users, the overall score of this drama has reached a high score of 9.3.

This score is already in the top 10 of Chinese-language TV dramas.

In addition, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" has won more than 3,000 hot searches on the whole network from broadcast to finale throughout July, and there is no doubt that this drama is definitely a phenomenal hit drama this year.

Even on the night of the finale, almost all social portals were overwhelmed with hot searches of fairy swords.

The most terrifying thing is that there is no hype in it, and almost all of these hot searches are spontaneously piled up by the audience.

After all, the ending of the fairy sword is too murderous.

How happy it is in the front, how much worry it is in the back.

The finale of Fairy Sword can be said to be a stab in the hearts of the audience.

Fairy Sword's original score on Penguin Video was 9.8 points, after the finale, although the previous rating base had hundreds of thousands of people, but there were still tens of thousands of bad reviews in one night, resulting in a decline in Fairy Sword's rating, and many viewers expressed their dissatisfaction with the finale in this way.

"Who understands the family, watching the finale of a TV series is about to numb me, this screenwriter is really down."

"Life is hard enough, I didn't expect to be deceived into tears by the screenwriter after watching a TV series, I'm really miserable."

"This drama is the most conscientious TV series I have ever watched, both the special effects and the plot are indisputably good, but I can only give one star to this ending, because emotional people can't see such a tragic ending."

"I chased from the premiere to the finale, I chased it so hard, I didn't expect it to be such an ending, this drama won't be watched a second time, it's too sadistic."

"It's a great TV series, but the story is really sadistic."

“.”

Because of the end of a tragic ending, it was given a one-star rating by tens of thousands of viewers, and probably only the drama Fairy Sword can do it.

Although there were a lot of bad reviews on the night of the finale, in a sense, these bad reviews were not a kind of affirmation for the TV series Fairy Sword.

After all, although a large number of viewers gave bad reviews, these bad reviews are not caused by the shoddy production of the TV series, but because the plot of the TV series is too sadistic.

Although such an ending will be bitter for many audiences, the end of the tragedy is often the ultimate sublimation of art.

The ending of Fairy Sword obviously sublimates the whole drama.

In addition, although there are many people who give bad reviews, there are actually many more people who give positive reviews than bad reviews on the night of the finale.

"I watched the TV every day just to wait for these two episodes of the TV series, and finally finished chasing it, I really admire the director team, I can find such a young and good-looking group of actors, each role is bright enough, if the ending can be a little more family-friendly, maybe I will be happier."

"The acting skills of the actors may still be a little immature, but this sense of immaturity is so appropriate, the chivalry of the teenager is vividly displayed in this group of young actors, and what is even more commendable is that the image of each character in this drama is very three-dimensional, each character has his own thinking about his own life, ideals, and feelings, even the villain has his unique personal charm, which is a rare good drama."

"The best Xianxia drama, there is no problem in saying that it is the pinnacle, the leading actors are full of youth and martial arts, and the soundtrack is just right, the TV series can't find too many faults from the details to the macro, a rare masterpiece."

"The screenwriter is really cool, it's amazing, not only telling the story well, but also incorporating the concepts of traditional Chinese thought such as Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism when telling the story, which is really breathtaking."

"This may be the pinnacle of Fairy Sword, each character is very deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the soundtrack is also a classic, which is not at the same level as the previous Xianxia dramas that only know how to fall in love."

"Music, plot, costumes, acting, and appearance are all online, isn't this much better than a TV series that only knows how to sell rot?"

"The moon worship is really miserable, he obviously just wants to prove that the earth is round"

“.”

The popularity of Fairy Sword is far beyond most people's imagination, and on the night of the finale, almost half of the hot search list on Weibo was occupied by Fairy Sword, and almost all of them were discussions about the plot of the finale of Fairy Sword.

This situation, even "In the Name of the People", which had similar ratings at the beginning, did not do it.

The traffic of Xianjian is obviously beyond Li Zhengming's expectations, if it weren't for the fact that Jinyu Entertainment didn't have the tradition of buying hot searches and stir-fried dramas, he seriously thought that the people under his hands secretly bought hot searches to attract traffic to TV dramas.

"In the Name of the People" brought him enough surprises, but he didn't expect "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" to be even more sophisticated.

Even now, although Golden Feather Entertainment has two TV series with ratings of more than 8%, it is not yet a sure thing if it really wins this year's ratings championship steadily.

Because after Jin Yu and Zhang Songnian did not talk about the cooperation on the Legend of the Condor Heroes, the people of Menghua Entertainment found Zhang Songnian with their backhand, and the people of Menghua Entertainment really gave up the film and television copyrights.

Li Zhengming always had a hunch that the decision of the board of directors would bring a lot of trouble to Jinyu Entertainment.

Sure enough, even if it gave up the film and television copyright, Menghua Entertainment gritted its teeth and took over the project.

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" Li Zhengming has read it more than once, although the script of the fairy sword is very good, but if you really want to compare the eagle shooting, Li Zhengming is still a little stunned.

Fortunately, what makes Li Zhengming feel at ease is that Zhang Songnian has clearly communicated with Li Zhengming, saying that Menghua Entertainment's Condor series will not be broadcast this year, this news makes Li Zhengming breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, otherwise even if it is the ratings of Xianjian, it may not be how stable the ratings champion can be.

However, after relieving this breath, Li Zhengming felt that something was wrong in Zhang Songnian's words.

"Wait, Songnian, I heard it right, you said that the TV series of the Condor series will not be broadcast this year?" Li Zhengming looked at Zhang Songnian with some uncertainty and asked.

Zhang Songnian raised his head and glanced at Li Zhengming inexplicably, nodded and said as a matter of course: "Yes, the Legend of the Condor Heroes is the same as Infernal Affairs, and it is also a series of TV series, and the sequel to the Legend of the Condor Heroes is currently being prepared for publication." ”

Li Zhengming opened his mouth, and his originally clenched fist loosened.

Li Zhengming has begun to regret that he didn't persuade the board of directors to launch the adaptation project of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

He really didn't expect that Zhang Songnian would like to play the series so much!

According to Zhang Songnian, the cooperation with Menghua Entertainment on "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is just the beginning, and there will be two more after that, and they will choose to cooperate with Menghua Entertainment at that time, and it has been determined and the contract has been signed, so Zhang Songnian will be busy for this for most of the next time, and there is a high probability that he will no longer have the energy to write scripts outside the Condor series and the Infernal Affairs series.

Menghua Entertainment's hand-cut is almost a draw on Jinyu Entertainment's cooperation business in TV dramas next year.

What made Li Zhengming feel most depressed was that this matter was obviously the first thing that Zhang Songnian looked for by Jinyu Entertainment, but in the end, it was Jinyu Entertainment himself who gave up this project to Menghua Entertainment, and in the final analysis, it was Jinyu Entertainment's own problem.

And next year, Menghua Entertainment will not only be a hit in the Legend of the Condor Heroes, but there will be two series to follow.

TV series are actually more competitive than the film industry, because the most popular schedules for TV dramas are actually two a year, and there are two prime periods for winter vacation and summer vacation.

And the movie has a lot of large and small prime times throughout the year.

And next year's Menghua Entertainment, there are three martial arts comparable to classics that can be adapted into TV series, and Li Zhengming can even foresee that Menghua Entertainment will be unbeatable in the field of TV dramas next year.

Originally, this opportunity was Golden Feather Entertainment

The more Li Zhengming thought about it, the more he regretted it, but now that it happened, regret was useless.

Li Zhengming stared at Zhang Songnian intently, and Zhang Songnian felt a little hairy in his heart.

"Mr. Li, don't keep staring at me like this, don't blame me for this, I looked for you first, don't blame me for not caring about the old club's feelings or something" Zhang Songnian muttered.

Li Zhengming looked at Zhang Songnian for a long time before a smile appeared on his face.

"There is a sequel to Infernal Affairs, and there is also a sequel to the Condor Archery, so I feel that the fairy sword should also be available, right?" Li Zhengming asked tentatively with a smile.

Zhang Songnian glanced at Li Zhengming and replied directly: "The drama of Fairy Sword is an independent story, and there is nothing to continue to say."

"Hehe, Songnian, I understand your ability, this is not a problem for you at all, I also firmly believe that your screenwriting ability is a unique existence even if it is put in our Golden Feather screenwriting team, the company has lost your help and wants to compete with Menghua Entertainment in the TV series next year, it will be a little difficult, for the sake of the past, you don't want the company to be pressed by Menghua Entertainment, right?"

"If it's a matter of price or something, just say it." After thinking about it for a while, Li Zhengming added.

Li Zhengming couldn't understand Zhang Songnian's character, as long as the money is in place, anything can be said.

Although the screenwriting team of Golden Feather Entertainment is a ceiling-level existence in the circle, since Zhang Songnian came to prominence, the height of this ceiling has become the shape of Zhang Songnian.

Previously, even the most qualified gold medal screenwriter could not become a phenomenal existence in every work like Zhang Songnian, but Zhang Songnian did it.

Facts have proved that whether it is a movie or a TV series, Zhang Songnian's screenwriting ability is unique in the entire entertainment industry today.

Li Zhengming can't imagine what kind of shock Zhang Songnian's Condor Trilogy will bring to the entire TV drama field next year.

But Li Zhengming knows very well in his heart that if he doesn't fight for Zhang Songnian now and do his ideological work, then next year Jinyu Entertainment will be beaten by Menghua Entertainment and can't raise his head.

"Money is actually a small thing, and I hope that the permanent copyright of the project I will cooperate with the company in the future will be on my side." Zhang Songnian raised his head and replied lightly.

Li Zhengming, who received Zhang Songnian's answer, sighed softly when he heard this.

Well, the problem is back to square one.

It can be seen that Zhang Songnian still has some mustard in his heart after the last time he raised the copyright issue with Jinyu Entertainment and was rejected.

Today's Zhang Songnian is no longer the same, it doesn't matter if Jinyu Entertainment is unwilling to cooperate with him, there are companies outside that are willing to cooperate with Zhang Songnian's golden signboard.

Now the relationship between the two sides is not that Zhang Songnian needs the company, but that the company needs Zhang Songnian more.

After thinking about this matter, Li Zhengming gave Zhang Songnian a reply with a smile: "Although I can't agree to your request immediately, I can convey your request and try to meet your request." ”

After leaving Zhang Songnian's side, Li Zhengming glanced back at the young man who waved to him, and sighed slightly again in his heart.

The young man who once relied on the platform of the company to show himself is now able to thrive in the entertainment industry even without Jinyu Entertainment. (End of chapter)
