In the anticipation of the audience, the time gradually came to May 18th.
Tonight, the anti-crime drama "Crazy" will be broadcast on the CCTV TV drama channel.
Since the first round of premiere is broadcast exclusively on CCTV Drama Channel, viewers who want to watch this drama on satellite TV must watch CCTV Drama Channel.
However, in addition to being premiered on CCTV, "Crazy" is also broadcast simultaneously on multiple video platforms, and viewers can also choose to watch it on video platforms.
The broadcast day is Thursday.
At 7:30 pm, the Golden Theater officially started broadcasting "Hurry Up".
At the beginning of the first episode, the timeline is in 2021, when the provincial party committee held a commendation meeting to commend the phased results of the special struggle against gangs and evil.
The leader of the supervision team who went to Jinghai City to carry out anti-criminal work came to the stage to accept the commendation from his superiors.
The plot at the beginning is a bit dull.
There are too many characters, but they are not the main characters in the subsequent plot.
Many viewers felt that this part of the plot was not very attractive after only watching it for a few minutes, and began to comment online:
[This drama looks like ZZ mission at first glance, the plot is boring and lengthy. 】
[I feel like this drama is going to be a scam, maybe it’s Fang Xing’s Waterloo show.]
Some viewers also expressed opposition:
[Have you already started to draw conclusions after watching it for only ten minutes? The plot has not yet unfolded. 】
[I heard before that Xiangjiang Satellite TV also wanted "Hurry Up" at the beginning, but gave up after attending the viewing party. Now that I look at it, this drama is indeed not suitable for some viewers.]
The plot of the first episode of "Hurry Up" is directly about the supervision team entering Jinghai to inspect the evil forces.
Then we use flashback to go back to 2000 and start telling the rise of "Gao Qiqiang".
This arrangement will indeed result in too many characters appearing in the first episode.
Many viewers can’t even remember who is on the supervision team. 4.
Especially viewers who like to watch idol dramas, romantic dramas, and dramas with female protagonists will indeed find the first half of the first episode a bit dull, even boring.
However, this is an audience issue.
The audience of CCTV TV drama channel is completely different.
The audience of CCTV is older than the audience of other provincial satellite TVs, and they prefer to watch realistic dramas, especially historical dramas.
This is the same on earth.
The historical drama "Ming Dynasty 1566" has a Douban score of 9.8.
Theoretically speaking, when this kind of drama is broadcast, the ratings cannot be too bad.
However, this is not the case.
"Ming Dynasty 1566" was broadcast on Mango Channel that year.
At that time, Mango Channel was the only provincial satellite TV channel.
The Mango drama "Huan Zhuge Ge" is re-broadcast every year, and it is re-broadcast at noon, and the ratings can easily exceed 1%.
However, "Ming Dynasty 1566" was broadcast during prime time on Mango Channel that year, with a ratings of only 0.5%.
This ratings was just a fraction of that of Mango Channel back then.
Therefore, this drama aired on Mango Channel for more than ten episodes, but without any improvement, it was directly removed and replaced with other dramas.
At that time, the online video platform had not yet developed, and the exclusive broadcast rights of this drama were bought by Mango Channel. Mango Channel would not broadcast it, and other satellite TV and platforms could not broadcast it either.
It was not until 10 years later that the drama's copyright buyout expired that it was re-broadcast. Then it became popular on video platforms, and its ratings continued to rise. It was 9.5 points at first, and then slowly rose to 9.8 points.
Countless drama critics have commented that every look in the eyes of the actors in this drama is dramatic.
However, for such a magical drama, why were the ratings so poor back then?
So bad that it needs to be removed?
This is the question of audience.
The audience of Mango Channel is still mainly young viewers, who like to watch idol dramas and chase stars, and they are the first group to become a fan.
Therefore, the audience of Mango Channel does not like to watch serious historical dramas.
…
Fang Xing knew this, so when Xiangjiang Satellite TV wanted to premiere "Crazy", it did not agree and preferred to let CCTV premiere it.
According to the standard of TV series produced by Ark Culture, if major TV stations are allowed to compete vigorously, the first broadcast fee can be increased by hundreds of thousands.
However, Fang Xing knew which TV station's audience "Crazy" was most suitable for, so even if he made hundreds of thousands less per episode, he was willing to give the first broadcast rights to CCTV.
As expected.
The first episode of "Hurry Up" premiered. The serious plot in the first half received complaints from many viewers, who felt that it was a drama made to complete the tasks of a superior department and was not interesting.
If "Crazy" premieres on Xiangjiang Satellite TV, the ratings may have hit rock bottom by this time.
However, CCTV’s audience is obviously more attuned to serious TV series.
After "Kurst" started airing, although the ratings of CCTV's TV drama channel did not increase significantly, they did not decline as the plot unfolded.
…
The plot continues to unfold, and the supervision team takes a shuttle bus into Jinghai City.
Several leaders of Jinghai City, Zhao Lidong, Meng Dehai, and An Changlin, greeted him at the highway intersection.
The supervision team did not show respect to these Jinghai City leaders, so the car drove past without stopping.
When this segment was broadcast, there were subtitles introducing the names and identities of each character.
On the Internet, many viewers are still complaining that the plot is boring.
However, among netizens, there are still many viewers who can understand this paragraph.
Then some viewers began to express their opinions:
[Some people may think the opening plot is boring, but only those who really understand it will know how much thought the director put into filming this part.]
[The supervisory team entered Jinghai City, and the leaders of Jinghai City greeted them at the highway intersection, but the supervisory team did not stop and just passed by. People who don’t understand this paragraph may think that this is because the supervisory team did not give any warning to Jinghai City.
The leader saves face, but in fact the leaders of Jinghai City violated national regulations.]
[The state once issued a document stipulating that no greeting activities should be held at intersections and other places. This section was indeed well photographed. The supervision team did not stop the car, not only because they did not want to give face to the leaders of Jinghai City, but also because they did not want to violate state regulations.]
[There are a lot of details in this drama, and some parts cannot be understood after watching it once. I have a hunch that this drama needs to be analyzed by drama critics and then watched a second time before I can really understand it.]
[However, if it is filmed this way, the drama will be too profound and most viewers may not be able to understand it. If this continues, the ratings will be hard to say. 】
[The drama is a good drama, but if it keeps filming like this, the ratings will be a bit dangerous.]
…
Just when many viewers felt that the opening plot of "Hurry Up" was boring.
As soon as the camera turned, time went back to 2000, and the story of "Gao Qiqiang" began to be told using flashback techniques.
"Gao Qiqiang" is a fish stall owner in a wet market.
In the picture, "Gao Qiqiang" played by Xu Zhiwen is scraping fish scales, then packaging the processed fish and handing it to customers.
At this moment.
The market managers Tang Xiaolong and Tang Xiaohu came over and said that the market health fee will increase next year.
When Xu Zhiwen heard this, a sad expression flashed across his face.
It can be seen from this expression that as a fish stall owner, he is very dissatisfied with the market manager's increase in health fees.
However, "Gao Qiqiang" played by Xu Zhiwen quickly put on a smile and said: "No problem."
Obviously, even though "Gao Qiqiang" is dissatisfied with the increase in health fees, he can only accept it and laugh along with it.
Later, Tang Xiaolong also said that the booth would be disrupted and re-photographed next year, saying it was for the sake of fairness.
"Gao Qiqiang" once again showed a troubled expression and said that the fish stall equipment was all welded to the stall and it was very troublesome to change the stall. He hoped that Tang Xiaolong would not change his stall.
At this time, Tang Xiaohu began to hint to Gao Qiqiang and "bribe" them by giving away plasma TVs, so that he could help him keep his position at the fish stall.
The main plot officially begins here.
Gao Qiqiang's family is very poor. He raises his eldest brother and sister by himself. He is financially strapped and cannot afford a plasma TV, so he can only give him an ordinary color TV.
For this reason, Gao Qiqiang had a conflict with Tang Xiaolong and Tang Xiaohu, fought and was taken to the police station.
Later.
The male protagonist "An Xin" played by Fang Xing appears.
An Xin is a good policeman with a strong sense of justice and is willing to do practical things for the people.
After learning about Gao Qiqiang's experience, An Xin sympathized with him.
When Gao Qiqiang's brother Gao Qisheng and sister Gao Qilan came to the police station to visit Gao Qiqiang, An Xin sympathized with their brother and sister's feelings and brought Gao Qiqiang a dumpling.
In this scene, Xu Zhiwen gave "Gao Qiqiang" his first crying scene.
Her acting skills were just right and she instantly conquered the audience in front of the TV.
…
When the plot reaches the police station, the general audience finally begins to get involved.
Most of the audience are ordinary people. When watching some plots of the supervision team, they will feel that this part of the plot is far away from them and they have no sense of involvement.
This is also the reason why many viewers found the first half of the first episode boring.
However, when the plot entered the "Gao Qiqiang" part, the audience immediately found a point of empathy.
"Gao Qiqiang" was angry with the market manager at the vegetable market, and the TV was broken by Tang Xiaohu, so he got angry and started fighting with Tang Xiaolong and Tang Xiaohu.
The audience also saw from Xu Zhiwen's expression that the "sanitation fee" Tang Xiaolong mentioned was actually "protection fee", and it increased every year. It was not enough if he did not pay it.
Therefore, the audience began to find empathy with the character "Gao Qiqiang" and felt angry at the difficulties he encountered.
Immediately afterwards.
The appearance of "An Xin" represents the bright image of the police and also gives the audience a little hope that "there are still good people in this world".
When the audience saw this, they gradually fell into the plot.
Comments on the Internet and comments on video platforms began to change:
【Hey! The plot has changed in an interesting way.】
[I thought it would be boring forever, but the fish seller did a pretty good job, and the crying scene was very sincere. If I hadn’t known it was a TV series, I would have thought he was really bullied and had an emotional breakdown.]
[Are your acting skills bad? He is a serious professor of Dongying.]
[Fang Xing’s action of tapping the lunch box with his finger to give Gao Qiqiang a hint was also very good. The details of this drama are really good. Many plots are acted out rather than spoken through dialogue. ]
[It actually got better. I thought the plot would continue to be dull, and then the ratings would drop to the limit. 】
…
After the plot of "Gao Qiqiang" fighting in the police station and "An Xin" delivering dumplings for dinner, the first episode ended.
Originally, when many viewers watched the first half of the episode, their perception of the show was that it was a serious crime drama with good details but not so attractive. It was watchable but not necessarily a must-follow.
However, after the first episode where "Gao Qiqiang" cried while eating dumplings in the police station, the strong empathy completely attracted the audience.
The audience really wants to see what happens to this "Gao Qiqiang" later.
Out of this strong curiosity, the TV station started broadcasting the second episode.
From the ad at the end of the first episode to the second episode, the ratings dropped slightly during the intervening ad time, but after the start of the second episode, the ratings came back up and began to continue to rise slightly.
The plot of the second episode goes in depth again.
At the beginning, a female deceased "Huang Cuicui" appeared.
"An Xin", as a police officer, went to the location where the body was found to investigate.
The plot begins with "Huang Cuicui" as the entry point, and gradually reveals the veil of the evil forces in Jinghai City.
Starting from the second episode, the plot enters the investigation stage, and the story slowly unfolds around the deceased.
"Gao Qiqiang" also had an intersection with Xu Jiang, the owner of Bai Jinhan Nightclub, because he needed money.
After the story line unfolds, the audience wants to watch more and more.
However, CCTV only broadcasts two episodes every day, and the video platform also broadcasts them simultaneously. Even VIP members of the video website can only watch two episodes.
After two episodes are aired, if you want to continue watching, you have to wait until the next day.
The unsatisfied viewers began to discuss the plot on major online platforms, complaining that two episodes were too few:
[Why only two episodes? As a distinguished platinum VIP member, don’t you have any privileges? 】
[Why can’t VIP watch six more episodes? Why is there such a disgusting TV series? 】
[Holy shit! The second episode actually cut off, and it’s so stuck. It’s so uncomfortable. 】
[Originally, when I was halfway through the first episode, I thought the quality of the show was okay, the details were good, but the plot wasn’t very engaging, so I was a little unhappy. Now after watching two episodes, the plot is starting to become attractive, and I’m even more unhappy.
!]
[Isn’t anyone discussing the plot? I read the introduction, isn’t Gao Qiqiang a boss of the evil forces? How can he sell fish in the vegetable market? 】
[Xu Zhiwen’s acting skills are very good. He deserves to be a film school professor and a treasured actor.]
[I heard that the crew auditioned many first-line actors, but none of them were satisfactory, so they went directly to the Donghai Film Academy, where they were interviewed in class.]
[It was indeed an audition in Dongying’s classroom, and I was a student in class that day. It was really at the scene, not a joke.]
When Fang Xing and Zhou Jitao auditioned for Xu Zhiwen at the Donghai Film Academy, there were more than a hundred students present.
Many students took photos and posted them online.
It was even on a small hot search at that time.
However, the reason why it is on the hot search is because of Fang Xing, not because of Xu Zhiwen.
Because Xu Zhiwen was not well-known at that time, the hot search content was only about Fang Xing auditioning actors for the new drama. The actors auditioning were not well-known, so the hot search was not very popular.
Now that "Hurry Up" is on air, Xu Zhiwen's first crying scene in the police station has conquered the audience, and the audience finally began to pay attention to this film school professor.
