Chapter 353: First "China" and then "Escape Room", it's really overwhelming!
The review of "Hua Xia" was officially passed, and the approval document was signed and decentralized immediately!
After leaving the China Film Association, Wang Hao immediately informed Xiong Chunhan and Zeng Hui of the good news and informed them of the exact release time.
Saturday, six o'clock sharp!
Because the news network starts on time at seven o'clock, and after 7:30 it is the prime time of various local stations, so after comprehensive consideration, the screening time was set at six o'clock sharp.
By then, the CCTV-9 set will be launched simultaneously with iQiyi.
When Wang Hao ordered the Haohuan Media Publicity Department to expose the news, it immediately aroused heated discussions among countless netizens:
"What the hell? Did it really pass the review? Brother Hao is awesome!"
"Documentary? China? Wow! Just hearing the name is domineering enough!"
"Hiss! Niubi!"
"I heard from the news that Brother Hao seems to have played Confucius in it? Can he play Confucius well at such a young age?"
"Who knows? Just wait and see!"
Netizens have expressed strong curiosity and are quietly waiting for the release of the documentary.
…
At the same time, the Light and Shadow Publicity Department also began to make big moves.
With the support of strong connections, the documentary "People" directed by Wu Dechang also quickly passed the review and was finalized.
Since the CCTV-9 documentary channel was snatched away by Wang Hao's "China", after coordination from all parties, the broadcast of "People" was finally scheduled to be broadcast on Zhejiang TV Station.
This is also a large and popular TV station. It is no exaggeration to say that the audience is much wider than the CCTV Documentary Channel.
The only drawback is that it is not as high-end as CCTV sounds.
Interestingly, the character's broadcast time is also 6 p.m.
What’s even more interesting is that the character’s online broadcast platform has also been put on iQiyi, and is scheduled to be released on time at six o’clock.
The only difference from "China" is that after "People" was successfully scheduled, Light and Shadow Media immediately invested a large amount of publicity funds and gained many popular publicity channels in one fell swoop.
Weibo, Kuaiyin, blog, forum, media...
For a time, the Internet was filled with voices building momentum for the documentary "People".
#人! The greatest documentary in history!
#On ancient and modern times, shaping great men, characters will show you what a real documentary is!
#The sky is high and the sea is vast, the characters are majestic, Director Wu was moved to tears at the filming scene.
#Well-known actor Xu Yaoxing joins People to show you what real acting skills are.
#Who says young people are not aloof and arrogant? Biographies tell the story of ancient and modern times,
When one hot search after another frequently appeared on the hot search lists of major platforms, netizens were shocked to discover that Guangying had also filmed a documentary at some point, and looking at the release time, it seemed that he was competing with Wang Hao?
For a time, the discussion suddenly resounded throughout the entire network:
"Hey, it's interesting. Brother Hao made "China", and Guangying turned around and released "People". Are these two companies preparing to fight to see who can win?"
"Wang Hao? Xu Yaoxing? Hahaha! These two are really enemies!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the Demon City Fortress was defeated. I guess Guangying refused to admit defeat and directly pushed Xu Yaoxing out again."
"It's interesting. I'm quite curious. These two are in the ring again. I wonder who loses and who wins?"
"Okay, originally I didn't really like watching documentaries, but just for this arena battle, I have to pay attention."
"Come on, come on! The market is open! The market is open! The bets have been placed! I'll open a ballot box and see if more people support Brother Hao or Xu Yaoxing."
A group of bored netizens once again engaged in saucy manipulation.
Someone opened a ballot box directly on Weibo, allowing netizens to start voting.
On one side is "China" and on the other side is "Characters", vote for whichever one you support, and the voting time ends one minute before the official release.
When the ballot box was set up, it immediately attracted the participation of countless netizens.
…
Inside Haohuan Media Company.
Xu Xiangwen frowned and looked at the ballot box, the emotions on her face were inexplicably complicated.
She thought that based on Wang Hao's popularity, Hua Xia's votes would be overwhelming and the figure would be much bigger!
But what no one expected was that as time went by, the number of votes for "People" reached tens of millions, while the number of votes for "China" was only about five million.
Although Wang Hao's fans are constantly calling for voting, the number of people supporting "People" has remained high!
Xu Xiangwen finally couldn't hold it back and suggested: "Brother Hao, shouldn't we also invest some publicity funds?"
At this time, the top five most searched items on Weibo were all promotional entries for the documentary "People".
Obviously, in order to promote its own documentary, Light and Shadow Media invested a huge amount of publicity funds.
But what about Haohuan Media?
Under Wang Hao's orders, the entire Publicity and Development Department was completely on hold and waiting to see what would happen!
Except for Wang Hao and Xiong Chunhan who posted on Weibo, there was no other promotion, not even a simple promotional video.
At this moment, Xu Xiangwen was completely confused.
She couldn't understand Wang Hao's behavior at all.
It has been said for a long time that the aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley. In today's society, no matter how fragrant the wine is, someone still has to promote it.
Otherwise, who would be bored enough to go into such a deep alley to buy alcohol?
But Wang Hao's behavior is completely contrary to the situation. Not only does he not have any publicity, he even seems to have taken the initiative to close the store...
What kind of confusing operation is this?
Faced with the publicity department's incomprehension, Wang Hao raised his eyebrows and explained: "Someone has already promoted it for us, so why waste money? Right?"
"ah!?"
Xu Xiangwen couldn't help but froze on the spot, her face full of confusion.
Did someone promote it for us?
who?
Where?
Wang Hao casually clicked on the hot search list number one and motioned for her to come over and take a look.
There is nothing interesting in the content. The whole text is praising the creation, filming, actors’ psychological journey of the documentary "People", etc. I bought the draft as soon as I saw it.
But after scrolling to the comment area, it is obvious that netizens, while expressing curiosity and expectation, will invariably pull out "China".
Anyway, it means the same thing.
Since you praised "People" so well, we will definitely watch it tonight.
but!
At the same time, we will also watch "Chinese".
Who loses and who wins?
We’ll find out when the film comes out!
Wang Hao kept scrolling through the comment area and asked: "How is it? Do you understand?"
Xu Xiangwen nodded, but her brows still did not ease.
"I can understand what Hao Geyou means. What you want to express is that because the two documentaries are released at the same time, they will inevitably talk about each other in the promotion, thus diverting some traffic, right?"
"That's right,"
Wang Hao nodded slightly, this was exactly what he wanted to express.
"But this vote failure will inevitably make many netizens feel distrustful of us. I'm afraid it will still have a certain impact, right?"
Hearing this, Wang Hao couldn't help but smile.
"Believe me, this vote does not mean anything. At best, it is just a game played by netizens. What's more, how many of the votes are real has not been determined yet,"
"In the final analysis, strength must speak for itself in the end!"
After saying that, Wang Hao left the Publicity and Development Department directly.
Tomorrow was the recording time for the first episode of "I Am a Singer". There were still some details that he had to go to Zhou Xiaoyu to confirm, and Wang Weiliang had already finished the album's production, so he still had to pay attention to the post-production effects of the album.
Very busy~
…
In the morning, the hot search list on Weibo was full of news about the documentary "People".
But in the afternoon, the limelight was completely taken away by "Escape Room"!
#At eight o'clock in the evening, Escape Room will be launched simultaneously on Hunan TV Station and Lime TV.
After this hot search topped the list, many netizens chose to flock in.
Escape Room is the latest blockbuster variety show launched by Qing Ning Media. In order to attract more attention, the publicity department of Qing Ning Media has spared no effort!
The terrifying publicity funds amounted to hundreds of thousands, or even millions.
Many wonderful clips were posted, which not only made netizens laugh, but also attracted countless attention.
Netizens commented one after another in the comment area:
"Hey, is it very interesting today? One wave after another?"
"I have decided? Watch the documentary first at night, then take advantage of the news broadcast and weather forecast time to eat and rest, and wait until eight o'clock to watch the escape room on time."
"Brother upstairs, what a great idea! I think so too!"
"The documentary also has Brother Hao, Escape Room also has Brother Hao, and I'm a Singer Tomorrow also has Brother Hao!"
"It's interesting, isn't it? Brother Hao, are you going to wrap up all the popular variety shows?"
"He is indeed the most powerful variety show star in the entertainment industry. He is so terrifying!"
Netizens expressed their feelings with emotion.
After participating in the extreme challenge, Wang Hao officially emerged in the industry.
And now, in less than half a year, he has achieved such great fame and appeared on two large-scale variety shows in succession!
If he continues to be given the opportunity to grow, what kind of ending will he finally have?
No one knows, but fans have high expectations for him!
…
…
In a blink of an eye, the voting deadline has arrived.
At 5:59, when netizens logged onto Weibo to watch again, many people were secretly surprised by the final number of votes.
"China": 10.42 million votes.
"People": 35.46 million votes.
Many netizens who saw the vote count widened their eyes, obviously unable to believe that there was such a big gap in the vote count!
"It's not a brush, is it?"
Someone expressed doubts in the comment area.
But soon, with the hard work of the navy and various keyboard warriors, all the suspicious voices disappeared without a trace.
Even if some people continue to raise doubts, they will soon be drowned by the crazy wave of trolls.
"What's going on? Is it true that character documentaries are better than Huaxia?"
With a skeptical attitude, many people opened Zhejiang TV Station or the iQiyi app.
…
Xu Fuzhong is one of those loyal documentary enthusiasts.
Perhaps because he is older, he cannot watch movies and TV series about love and love. Instead, he has a soft spot for documentaries about humanities and history.
When he learned from the Internet that two documentaries would be released at once today, Xu Fuzhong couldn't hide his excitement.
On weekdays, he would choose to watch the CCTV-9 channel, but when he saw the voting data, after thinking for a moment, he decided to go to Zhejiang TV Station to watch the documentary called "People" first.
Since the number of votes is so high, maybe this documentary will be better?
With this thought in mind, he paid full attention to it.
First is the beginning.
There are only eight words at the beginning of "Characters".
Reflect history with people, reflect on things when you see them.
To be honest, this beginning is not amazing, and Xu Fuzhong was slightly disappointed.
"Maybe the content will be classic?"
Xu Fuzhong persisted and read on.
However, when the ancient man played by Xu Yaoxing appeared, Xu Fuzhong couldn't help but be stunned.
"This...is Confucius?"
The first issue of "People" also used Confucius as the main visual to summarize and summarize history.
But Xu Yaoxing’s acting skills are really, really bad!
Who is Confucius? He was an ancient sage and a staunch supporter of "etiquette".
But the character played by Xu Yaoxing looks carefree, with a frivolous state all over his body. He doesn't look like a sage at all, but more like a street kid dressed up as a cultural person.
After barely watching it for ten minutes, Xu Fuzhong shook his head regretfully and chose to switch channels.
To be honest, before watching this documentary, he was actually full of expectations for "People". But after actually watching this documentary, he realized what it means to sell dogs with sheep's heads!
After all, Xu Fuzhong couldn't hold it back and roared angrily: "What a waste of such a good narration! What a waste of such a good structure! What a waste of such a good picture!"
After finally suppressing his inner anger, he reluctantly opened iQiyi and found the documentary "China".
If this documentary is like "People" and engages in the same kind of behavior of selling dogs over others, then don't blame him for writing articles on Weibo to troll people!
After clicking the play button, as the screen lit up, three lines of text appeared on the screen:
Chinese culture has a long history and has never stopped flowing!
Today's China has come from the depths of time and inherited its long-lasting bloodline!
The Chinese people of today are the Chinese people of the past!
"Huh? Isn't this a good statement?"
Xu Fuzhong only felt that his eyes were bright. Comparatively speaking, this beginning was much more subtle than the character's beginning.
As the progress bar continues to extend backward, new text appears.
When we look back at history,
On the land of eastern Asia,
After the long process of Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties,
New ideas, new systems, new culture,
Giving birth...
"This should be an introduction to the background of the documentary, right? So he also uses the same narrative mode as that of "People"?"
With a skeptical attitude, Xu Fuzhong chose to continue watching.
Soon, characters appeared, narration appeared, and the plot began to advance...
Xu Fuzhong was skeptical at first, but as the progress bar continued to move back, he gradually discovered that the quality of this documentary called "China" was surprisingly good!
Picture progression, character creation, structure construction...
Whatever he could observe, this "China" was the best! The best!
Especially the characterization.
Although he did not know who played the role of "Confucius", this did not affect his appreciation of the actor at all!
Young Confucius, middle-aged Confucius, old Confucius...
In just fifty minutes, he actually created the characters of Confucius in three different periods. This acting skill simply amazed Xu Fuzhong!
The narration also made him sigh with emotion:
"I don't know which Chinese music teacher read the narration. It's cadenced and full of emotions. It perfectly complements this film!"
At the end, when Xu Fuzhong came to his senses, an hour had passed quietly.
Unknowingly, he was immersed in the documentary, completely unaware of the passage of time!
"Okay! What a great movie!"
Xu Fuzhong couldn't suppress his inner excitement.
He didn't even bother to have dinner. He came to the study so excitedly that he turned on the computer, logged into his Weibo account, and wrote an article.
This is my impression after watching "China"!
…
After the documentary was played, before netizens could recover from the deep shock, the first issue of "Escape Room" was launched immediately.
Originally, many netizens wanted to comment on Weibo, but for a moment they didn't know what to say.
"China" shocked them so much that they couldn't even talk about it!
Many people even have thoughts of self-doubt. Can they participate in the evaluation of such a magnificent documentary work?
With this idea in mind, netizens turned to "Escape Room".
Although they already knew about Wang Hao's participation in the recording, when Liu Yan suddenly stood up and announced that the final big devil was Wang Hao, many people were still trembling with excitement!
Brother Hao?
demon king?
True to its name!
At the same time, many people in the barrage are asking: "What exactly is Escape Room? What is the content of this show? What are the interesting points?"
Faced with doubts from netizens, the six escapees officially entered the secret room.
In the following viewing, netizens gradually solved their inner doubts and also understood why Wang Hao was dubbed the "Big Devil"!
Entering the first secret room, while everyone was still confused, Wang Hao had already obtained the mobile phone and key.
Coming to the second secret room, Wang Hao was still the first to discover the secret of weight.
After breaking through the third secret room, Wang Hao easily understood the secret on the back of the chair and led everyone to successfully open the next door.
Until the end of the first issue, everyone has a feeling in their hearts.
Isn't this just a master dragging a rookie?
During this period, although Yang Mi, Huang Minghao and others would occasionally have flashes of inspiration and give some good suggestions, most of the time it was Wang Hao who completed the decryption.
Until the final breakthrough of the anti-theft tunnel, controlling the puppy to find the secret door, and controlling the kitten to get the key, almost all these operations were done by Wang Hao alone.
It is no exaggeration to say that if Wang Hao was not present in this program, let alone eight hours, I am afraid they would not be able to get out if they were given another eight hours...
Although they were very helpless at the "silliness" of the other people, after watching the first issue of "Escape Room", many netizens still went to the official Escape website to leave messages:
"Sign up! This program is quite good, I have saved it."
"Not bad, it's quite fun for a master to lead a novice."
"Ahem, although I don't really want to mention this, I still want to ask, did your program team deliberately allow Brother Hao to "conquer the gods"?"
"Indeed, under the background of those rookies, Brother Hao has completely become a god!"
"He's so detail-oriented! Brother Hao is so awesome! Why do you feel like he can spot everything?"
"When will the second episode be filmed? There will be a live broadcast, right? I'll pay attention to it then, it seems pretty good."
"Indeed, especially when I came out of the secret door at the end and it turned out to be a pet shop, it really scared me!"
"Escape! Come on! Watch out for you!"
Netizens gave encouragement one after another.
Although the effect of this escape is not as good as that of Extreme Challenge, the level of fun in it is still quite good.
Especially those rookies who always do some ridiculous things and make many people laugh happily.
Of course, in the final analysis, it is because there are really no other good variety shows to watch at the moment.
Since the extreme challenge ended, many people have felt unwell.
The emergence of Escape just made up for this blank period. In addition, several participating guests were quite popular and the program was quite effective, so netizens still bought into it.
Of course, there are good and bad.
Along with it came many voices of dissatisfaction:
"What is this? Why is it so simple? Even a dog can get through it, right?"
"Hey, are those rookies stupid? You can't find such obvious clues, so you have nothing to use?"
"Hey, I'm a good boy, is Wang Hao so awesome? I'm afraid he has read the script in advance, right?"
"It's fake. Everything is just a show effect. If there's anything good about it, leave the bad reviews behind."
"It's boring. It's so boring. What's the point of escape room? I might as well call it hide and seek. Isn't this too childish?"
"..."
After briefly reading the comments from netizens, He Wei closed the official website and quietly waited for later data.
Because both Hunan TV Station and Qing Ning TV are "own" industries, it is much faster to obtain this data, and there is no need to go through any information transmission formalities.
Almost less than ten minutes after the broadcast ended, a staff member sent the most authentic first-hand data to his mobile phone.
Rating:3.2
Online views: 34.25 million
"Ouch!"
The moment he saw this data, He Wei stood up suddenly, his face full of disbelief.
He never thought that the final data would exceed "3". After all, before the broadcast, his expected goal was only about 2.5.
"If we can maintain the current quality and use it as a basis for promotion, can we also touch the butt of the China Entertainment Archives?"
At this moment, He Wei had some expectations for no reason!
He suddenly gained confidence in "Escape Room".
If we can maintain such results, even if we cannot catch up with the extreme challenge in the end, we still seem to be qualified to be selected into the China Entertainment Archives...
When he thought of this, He Wei couldn't help but feel excited.
He picked up his cell phone and played it to Chen Xiaoxu. Regarding the content of the second recording, he felt that it seemed that it could be improved.
