Chapter 138 New January
(Additional update for Boss Zhan Boyue’s reward.)
After the fourth episode of Soul of Chess ended, Zeng Lian discussed with fans in the group for a long time, and it wasn't until twelve o'clock that he calmed down and took a rest.
As for the fourth episode of "Chess Soul", the average ratings closed at 4.31%...an increase of 0.5% compared to the third episode...the highest ratings reached 4.72.
After this result was reported to the crew the next day, everyone on the Chess Soul crew felt their heads go numb.
Even within Yunteng TV, many people were stunned!
Even the director of the production department, Meng Yu, had to confirm and check it three times before he believed in the result.
"This one's name is Jing Yu...how is it...so similar to Zhong Ming from five years ago!"
Meng Yu took a long breath. Seeing the results of Chess Soul, he couldn't help but think of the screenwriter Zhong Ming who almost produced a TV series with a ratings of over 10 for Taiwan five years ago.
But for that drama, Taiwan invested nearly 200 million in large-scale publicity, and even chose a six major TV station that didn’t have any big-production drama schedules. It relied on manpower, material and financial resources to produce that drama...
..
But Chess Soul is a drama with regular investment! Although additional investment was made in the later period, it was still very limited. How can this drama be so successful? By relying on the recommendations and publicity of fans, the ratings can increase by a few tenths every week?
What an exaggeration!
A hit drama in Taiwan, just like this, without any big promotion, big investment, big stars, big directors... it was born naturally?
Moreover, this drama, according to the description of the plan submitted by Jing Yu, is quite long. It is at least a long drama for more than two seasons. As long as the quality of the drama series remains at a high level, the popularity will undoubtedly accumulate in the end.
It's an exaggeration. If the ratings continue to grow at this rate... what will it be like in the end?
Meng Yu shook his head and stopped thinking about this matter for the time being.
"I found a treasure! Old Xu from Chenghai must be regretting it now. There are also four other six major TV stations. They all wanted to recruit this young man at the beginning, but they had no sincerity at all. Except for Chenghai, these four
They didn’t even send someone to talk to them in person, so now they realize something is wrong!”
Meng Yu couldn't help but burst into weird laughter in the office.
Jing Yu immediately took the drama "Chess Soul" to Chenghai and submitted it to Xu Mei, director of Chenghai's production department, for review!
That old guy killed this drama right away. It was only because Jing Yu didn't sign a contract with Cheng Hai that Yunteng picked up the slack.
In this situation, it is inexplicably refreshing to think about it.
After all, Meng Yu's happiness can indeed derive a large part of the pain from the six major TV stations!
.......
The fourth episode of "The Soul of Chess" ranked fifth among the dramas aired this week with a ratings of 4.31%!
At this position, Qihun's previous opponents are only the three strongest TV stations in Liudali, which are the three major TV stations that the audience complained about: "Xingtong", "Emperor TV" and "Vision"
Drama.
In other words, the three major spring dramas were completely wiped out less than a month after it aired, and were all defeated by Chess Spirit.
Two dramas from Didu TV, "The Gambler" and "Hunter" ranked 2nd and 4th respectively. The third place is Vision's "The Ending Blade". The first place is the crew of "The Soul Next Door", which is also the star of Xingtongdu this season.
The main drama is "Fireworks".
Among them...even the drama "Hunter", which ranked fourth in the spring ratings, had an astonishing average ratings of 4.88% for its fourth episode.
Compared with Chess Soul, it is still a bit higher... Normally, this gap is a gap that ordinary film and television dramas cannot overcome until the end of the broadcast...
But Soul of Chess is too exaggerated. The ratings growth every week is at least 0.3%.
If its follow-up ratings increase is still like this, in two weeks... maybe it will be able to surpass "Prey", the flagship drama of Imperial TV, and launch an attack on the spring flagship drama of the three major TV stations.
!
Major film critics do not take this matter seriously at all, and there are endless articles with the themes of "the six major TV stations encounter the challenge of deadly competitors!" and "the fall of the six major TV stations". The actual meaning is nothing, it is to increase the popularity and popularity of Qihun
The impact is even greater.
Among the fan groups...finally, fans of Chess Soul also started to stand up to fans of movies and TV series on the three major TV stations.
Competition is everywhere.
When Jing Yu serialized White Album 2, Xuecai Dang and Hesha Dang argued for several months.
Now those White Album 2 fans have become Chess Soul fans, leading the casual fans of Chess Soul, and fans of screenwriters and actors of other dramas to start a frenzy.
"That "prey", I'll be honest, it's really ugly. You should watch Yunteng TV. Just watch one episode of Chess Soul, and you guys will understand the excellence of Chess Soul!"
"What's so good about a Go drama? You chess fans, you don't get dizzy even when you play Go! I hate Go the most and I will never watch it."
"Fans of Chess Soul, stop dreaming. Muzi's drama will not lose to a Go drama that doesn't even have a female protagonist. We Muzi fans will never let Chess Soul surpass us in ratings."
"I will never watch TV dramas about scumbag men. White Album 2 left such a deep impression on me. I can't get over the impression of the character when I see Jing Yu's face..."
"Then Chess Soul, isn't it just a show about children playing cheats? You guys are so good at it. Everyone who has played games knows that cheating is fun at the beginning, but it becomes boring after just playing casually. You all saw the fourth episode
Now, you still don’t like this kind of plot?”
"Cheat? You are not allowed to insult Zuo Wei..."
"Have you watched this show for ten minutes? How can you characterize someone as a leftist in just one cheating sentence? What a fool. Is this the level of appreciation that fans of the show "Prey" have?"
"We are much better than a bunch of fools who don't understand Go but are still watching it with gusto!"
.......
Fans of the show "Game of Thrones" and "Hunter" have been arguing endlessly this week because of the competition for ratings, with both sides winning and losing.
But the result of mutual victory and defeat can explain some problems...
When did a drama on the three major TV stations compare favorably with a drama on other ordinary TV stations in terms of popularity and number of fans?
Among the six major TV stations, Squirrel, Aurora, and Chenghai TV stations are now watching the drama "Chess Soul" with mixed emotions.
If they lose their flagship drama, their mentality will naturally collapse.
But since all three of our companies have lost, why can’t your other three companies, who are also from the top six, lose?
So now, these three TV stations hope that Chess Soul will directly destroy the main dramas of these three TV stations.
Although there is little hope, they are looking forward to this.
.....
However, in the ratings competition in the fifth week... Qi Soul finally stopped its progress.
The plot of the fifth episode is about Jingguang working with him to get Sangu to join the Go club, and to get him to get rid of his bad habit of cheating in Go. Yu Liang begged the Go club to play chess with Jingguang.
Teacher, don't let him be the leader of the Go club, but let him be the third general in the team competition to play against Jing Guang...
Relatively speaking, the plot tension has slowed down a bit, but the ratings still rose to 4.53%, still ranking fifth in the ratings.
As for the drama "Prey", the ratings in the fifth week were 4.90%, which was an increase, but in fact the gap with Qihun was even wider than the previous week.
The third game between Jing Guang and Yu Liang that the audience had longed for did not appear this week.
Time...it’s February!
Chapter completed!
