Chapter 749: The Last Wave of Qiong Yao Fever
Why was "Huanzhu Gege" popular in the previous life? Why can it be popular?
Even after 20 years of broadcasting, the TV station took it out and rebroadcast it, and it still got super high ratings, which felt like it was fake.
I believe many people are very puzzled, how did such a TV series with a simple plot and starring all newcomers and outdated singers suddenly become popular?
Gu Bei was also puzzled.
After being reborn, Gu Bei also did this business, and then gradually understood that the popularity of "Huanzhu Gege" seemed to be an accident, but it was actually inevitable.
First of all, the plot is really simple, but the theme is distinct, and the overall atmosphere is relaxed and joyful, which is a typical family TV series.
And domestic TV viewers love this tune.
It premiered in 1998, when the Internet was not yet widespread, and smartphones did not even have a shadow.
The vast majority of families still have a TV set per family, and when it comes to the prime time at night, most people's leisure and entertainment methods are still to sit around the TV with the whole family and watch dramas.
The main story line of the drama "Huanzhu Gege" is very simple, it is not brain-burning at all, and there are contradictions between the two parties, the identity of the true and false Gege in the palace is wrong, and he tries his best to hope to get it back, and then there is the queen who has to clean up Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei every day, which leads to the confrontation between the two parties.
It is precisely because of the simplicity that even if you miss a part because of some accidents, it does not affect your understanding of the plot at all.
It's nothing more than that Xiaoyanzi is unruly in the palace again, making a lot of trouble, and the queen can't get used to it, the two groups of people are noisy, and the emperor plays the role of a peacemaker in it.
What the audience likes the most is the relaxed and joyful atmosphere, each episode is full of comedy and funny, which is very suitable for people to go to work and school after a hard day, relax and be entertained after meals.
Xiaoyanzi jumped all kinds of things, and what she saw was a joy, and she made the queen so angry that she stared dryly, but she was helpless, and she still felt very happy.
The second is that the plot is fast-paced and more refreshing.
There are a total of 24 episodes in the whole play, and the rhythm is advancing rapidly, unlike Qiong Yao's previous works, procrastination, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, you love me, I love him, he loves you, a lot of money, Rory is verbose, and he is anxious to watch.
In addition, it is a cool drama itself, and the cool points are one after another.
What do viewers like to watch the most when they watch TV series?
Naturally, the good guys defeat the bad guys, and the bad guys are helpless to take the good guys.
In this drama, the distinction between the good guys and the bad guys is very clear.
Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei and others are good people, they are righteous; The queen and Mama Rong are bad people, they are evil.
It is said that after the TV series was broadcast, the glass of Dai Chunrong's house, the actor of the queen's mother, was smashed by the audience, because he hated the queen so much, and bullied Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei every day.
And the plot has basically always been, Xiaoyanzi is jumping around, the queen and Mama Rong have nothing to do with her, they are always deflated, but people are addicted to vegetables, and they have been looking for Xiaoyanzi's stubble, and then the emperor will clean them up.
Isn't it cool?
Then there is that the love line develops naturally, and it is natural, sweet but not greasy.
In the play, the love between Ziwei and Er Kang is a standard Qiong Yao-style "mountains without edges, heaven and earth together" mountain alliance and sea oath type, which will indeed make people feel tired of watching.
The audience actually didn't like to watch it so much, there was a joke at that time, the ratings of "Huanzhu Gege" fell, that is, Ziwei and Er Kang began to fall in love through a large number of lines again.
However, the love between Xiaoyanzi and the fifth elder brother is truly sweet but not greasy, fresh and refined.
Xiaoyanzi is lively and cute, loves to laugh and make trouble, and doesn't know love at all, but the fifth elder brother doesn't dare to say it because of his identity.
Not only did the two people not go around in circles as soon as they met, slow motion, and sprinkle sugar with affection, but because of their identities, they hid their hearts for a long time.
Until Weifu's private visit, one was so aggrieved that he cried because he was jealous, and he threw stones in a temper, and the other was also aggrieved, but in the end he couldn't help but express his intentions.
The emotional development is natural, fresh and refined, and the audience blushes and heartbeats when they watch it, but it just feels cool.
Finally, and most importantly, the actors in the play are beautiful and handsome.
At that time, the five little ones were really worthy of the four words tender and beautiful.
Xiaoyanzi is lively and cute, but not pretentious or deliberate, in the plot of the private interview of Weifu, she is jealous and quarrels awkwardly, and when she eats dinner, she pulls the rice bowl, but a big tear drops down, which is very impressive.
Ziwei really cries pear blossoms with rain, tears in her eyes, but she cries very beautifully, and she is soft on the outside and rigid on the inside.
Several male actors are also handsome, and they all grow up in the audience's aesthetic points.
With such a drama, it's too easy to want to be popular, and it's unreasonable not to be popular.
Wang Jinghua got a positive answer, although Gu Bei didn't give a reason, but she knew very well that Gu Bei's vision was very unique, basically the people and scripts he valued had never been overlooked.
"Mr. Gu, if that's the case, let's fight for it again."
Gu Beidu decided that the TV series that was going to be popular, how could he let it go so easily, that is, it was about to start over there, otherwise, Wang Jinghua would even want to grab this script.
There are so many young actors in the company, if you can cram them one by one, maybe they will become popular when they act.
It is worth mentioning that the contracted actors of Mingqian Pictures are not the same as they were at the beginning.
The newcomers who graduated from the original college class basically did not want to come to private enterprises like Mingqian, even if there were few opportunities for filming, they were willing to enter the film studio and the repertory troupe to serve iron rice bowls.
But now the times are different, with the lifting of restrictions on film and television drama production, private enterprises like Mingqian Pictures are no longer a ragtag army.
Many recent graduates have chosen private companies as their first choice.
Not for anything else, just to be able to have filming.
In the past two years, Wang Jinghua has not been less involved in his own company, but fortunately, Mingqian Pictures has abundant funds and strong production capabilities, coupled with Gu Bei's continuous provision of script outlines, although the company has signed a lot of actors, basically everyone can take care of it, and there will be no shortage of filming opportunities.
"Fight for what?"
Gu Bei directly poured a basin of cold water on Wang Jinghua's head.
"You don't know what happened back then, do you?"
Grab the actors!
At that time, Mingqian Pictures had not yet been established, and Wang Jinghua had just graduated from drama school, so he didn't know what to do.
But at that time, because He Xiuqiong kept breaking the news and hyping up to the media, it was quite fierce.
Because of this, Mingqian Pictures has produced so many film and television dramas over the years since its establishment, but it has never moved the theme of Qiong Yao.
"Mr. Gu, what kind of life is this, do you still hold grudges?"
"I don't hold grudges, I'm worried that people will hold grudges, forget it, that old lady won't be popular for a few years, we don't need to waste time on her works."
Qiong Yao's last work in the mainland is "Deep Love, Rainy", since that play, Qiong Yao's signboard has gradually lost its appeal in the mainland.
Later, the third part of "Huanzhu Gege" and the remake of "A Curtain of Dreams" failed to achieve too good results.
The reason is because the young people who liked Qiong Yao back then have grown up and know what rational analysis is, so they will naturally be disgusted by Qiong Yao's theory of the supremacy of the third child.
Only when three know three, will stand in San'er's perspective to look at the so-called love, young people who have nothing to do, will be moved by the illusory love created by the little San'er's own practitioners.
But when you mature psychologically, you will find out what a mess and rotten things it is!
"Huanzhu Gege" is Qiong Yao's last madness, and if she continued to create according to this small and fresh style, maybe it would really be able to endure for a long time.
But very politely, just when people changed their opinion of her, she came up with another "Deep Love, Rainy".
Indeed, this TV series is even more popular.
But the problem is that the old lady's hypocrisy has flare up again.
The brother-in-law fell in love with the sister-in-law, the two women competed for a husband, the unloved male second and the unloved female second forcibly teamed up, and it was quite lively when I looked at it at first, but when I looked at it, I would find that something was wrong.
From then on, Aunt Qiong Yao was completely abandoned.
In the last wave of Qiong Yao fever, Gu Bei was really not interested in going over to eat that dividend.
All right!
Gu Bei made another prediction, Qiong Yao's drama won't be popular for long, since that's the case, forget it.
sent Chen Kun back to school, and decided to take him to see Zhao Baogang next week.
Afterwards, Gu Bei and Wang Jinghua went to the office on the third floor.
"I remember mentioning a group to you back then, how did it work?"
If he didn't come to the company today, Gu Bei would have forgotten that he had mentioned the women's and men's groups to Wang Jinghua back then.
It's been so long, he's forgotten about it.
"Mr. Gu, do you really not care about the operation of the company!?"
Wang Jinghua was speechless.
It's been several years since this incident, and Gu Bei actually remembered to ask.
With that, he took out a folder from the cabinet.
"It's all here!"
Because there was no TV station involved, the first draft went very quickly, and it only took more than a month to end.
But the quality of the competition is not low at all, in order to select good seedlings, Wang Jinghua also specially invited many well-known musicians in the industry to be judges.
It has been held annually since then, and this year's competition just ended some time ago.
Listening to Wang Jinghua talk about the experience of running the men's and women's teams in the past two years, overall, the response was not very good.
I have also encountered two or three combinations before, but the effect is mediocre and the market acceptance is not high.
It shouldn't be!
Gu Bei looked at the good seedlings picked out in the recent draft, and felt ......
"Where are these kids now?"
"They are all in the company, learning to sing and dance every day, the teachers are all professional, and Guo Feng sometimes comes back to help."
"Let's go, go over and have a look!"
