Chapter 178 "The civet cat exchanges for the prince" is super profitable!
October has come to the last week.
Han Zhou got a lot of rest time during this period.
It has been a whole year, and Han Zhou also got two weeks of vacation.
In the past two weeks, Han Zhou returned to the capital of Shu, arranged for his family to live in Luhu, and then hid at home for two weeks.
Of course, it’s not like I didn’t go out.
This year, Comrade Han took the driver's license test, so Han Zhou went to buy a car for his father.
Han Zhou himself was not at home, so every time he sent money to his parents, they had no use for it, it just stayed there.
And Han Zhou came up with the idea to let the old man get a driver's license, and then buy them a car so that the old man could take his mother to travel around.
As for the store, let's find someone to look after it.
Two weeks later, Han Zhou did not return to Hengdian, but stayed with the animation department.
This time the production of "Naruto Sennin" has begun.
The most important thing is that the various technical arguments, script arguments, original character paintings, and story style of "Nezha" have all been finalized.
Now the official production will begin.
It took almost half a year to get all this done.
As for the formal production stage, it doesn't take much time. If it's quick, it can be made in time for next summer's release.
If it’s slow, we can still catch up with next year’s Spring Festival.
After finishing his work in the animation department, Han Zhou returned to Hengdian in a serious manner.
The prime-time broadcast of "Shaobao" on CCTV has also come to an end.
This month, from Monday to Friday, two episodes were broadcast simultaneously. There were only two days that were not broadcast due to party arrangements.
At the end of the month, it was still broadcast to the last moment.
The audience also followed the plot and could probably guess what happened.
But now, everyone is used to Bao Zheng calling everyone together and then starting to show off.
"Shao Bao" and "Fan Long Jie" are this world's version of "The Civet Cat Exchanges the Prince". They come from ancient classics and have been adapted over many generations to form many different versions.
In "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", the story is different from that of "Shaobao".
In "Three Heroes and Five Righteousnesses", Empress Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty passed away, and Concubine Liu and Concubine Li were pregnant at the same time.
Because of the lack of the main palace, Song Zhenzong said at this time that whoever gave birth to a son first would be the queen, and the child would be the prince and the future emperor.
Concubine Liu teamed up with Guo Huai, the chief eunuch in the palace, and the midwife, and took advantage of Concubine Li's weakness just after giving birth to replace the newborn prince with a skinned civet cat.
Concubine Liu ordered the palace maid Kou Zhu to strangle the true prince to death. Kou Zhu couldn't bear it and handed the prince over to the eunuch Chen Lin.
Chen Lin hid the prince in a food box and brought it to the Eight Wise Kings.
Here Song Zhenzong saw that Concubine Li gave birth to a skinned civet cat, and thought that Concubine Li had given birth to a monster, so he banished her to the cold palace.
Soon after, Concubine Liu gave birth to a son. The child was made the prince, and Concubine Liu became the queen.
Who would have known that six years later, the prince died of illness, and Song Zhenzong had no son, so he adopted the son of his brother Ba Xian Wang and adopted him as the prince.
Of course, this so-called son of the Eight Wise Kings is actually the real prince.
Soon after, the real prince accidentally walked to the cold palace and met his biological mother, Concubine Li. As a result, both of them were speechless and burst into tears.
When Empress Liu found out, she tortured Kou Zhu. Kou Zhu hit the steps and died without telling the truth.
Empress Liu then slandered Concubine Li in front of Zhenzong and asked Zhenzong to kill Concubine Li.
Because Concubine Li was very kind to her, a young eunuch was willing to be the scapegoat and die in her place. However, the real Concubine Li escaped from the palace and hid herself.
Many years later, Bao Zheng happened to be distributing grain for disaster relief in Chenzhou. He met Concubine Li and learned about the situation.
By this time Song Zhenzong had already died and the prince had become the emperor.
Bao Zheng tried to get Concubine Li to meet the emperor, and all the truth came to light.
This story is the original civet cat for the prince.
The ruse of a civet cat in exchange for a prince has become the first crime ruse in detective novels since ancient times.
However, in the "Shaobao" version, this story has been changed to be more realistic.
The original version only considered the issue of trickery and did not explore the human heart too much. However, in the "Shaobao" version, this story can be said to be a killer!
In this version, Kou Zhu suffered from a disease that would not last long, and because he once received a meal from Concubine Li, he always remembered it in his heart.
Therefore, he secretly changed the imperial edict, attracted the Eight Wise Kings, committed suicide, and then insisted on putting the murder weapon into the hands of the stunned Eight Wise Kings before he died.
When the palace door opened and the civil and military officials entered the hall, they were all stunned.
The Eight Wise Kings, who were known for their wisdom, actually killed people! And they killed people in the palace!
Even if the emperor breaks the law and he is as guilty as the people, what about the prince?
Under pressure, the emperor invited Bao Zheng to investigate the case.
This is the smartest thing about Kou Zhu, who has never read much.
She knew that the wisest man in the world was Bao Zheng, and she also knew that the Eight Wise Kings were very kind to Bao Zheng, and would eventually find out about Concubine Li. She would sacrifice her own life for the truth to come to light.
She was betting that with Bao Zheng's character, he would tell everything after knowing the truth.
And how smart is the Eight Wise Kings? He soon thought of this.
Soon, Li Xiaodao, who assisted Bao Zheng in investigating the case, committed suicide, making everything full of doubts.
When he committed suicide, he also deliberately framed Guo Huai.
And all this was actually instigated by the Eight Wise Kings.
The Eight Sages knew that with Bao Zheng's intelligence, he would soon find out that Guo Huai was wrongfully accused.
Then it will be found out that Li Xiaodao committed suicide, and things will take another path.
Sure enough, Bao Zheng found out everything and got a false answer to the puzzle of the Eight Wise Kings.
[The Eighth Sage King had an affair with Concubine Li, and in order to keep it a secret, he killed the palace maid to silence her, and then asked the investigator to commit suicide with a sharp knife, all in order to cover up this crime. ]
After getting this answer, Master Pang immediately asked the emperor to execute the Eight Wise Kings. What he meant was that if the Eight Wise Kings were not executed, I would go crazy and rebel!
It's a pity that Master Pang is too impatient!
It turned out that the Eight Wise Kings used their intelligence and power to complete a perfect crime.
A perfect crime that even Bao Zheng couldn't detect.
But Master Pang was eager to remove the obstacles, wanted the Eight Sage Kings to die quickly, and wanted to kill Bao Zheng.
The killer he sent happened to knock over the wine when attacking Bao Zheng, and the wine spilled on a piece of yellow cloth that he had brought out from the Hermitage Village.
After the yellow cloth was wetted with wine, writing appeared.
At this time, Bao Zheng became friends with Xiao Liu, the owner of the noodle shop where the palace maid Kou Zhu often went to eat noodles, so they went to him for a drink to solve their problems.
When mentioning this matter, Xiao Liu said that he also had the same piece of yellow cloth.
It was only after I took it out that I realized it was different.
Bao Zheng's yellow cloth is the torn left half, and Xiao Liu's yellow cloth is the torn right half.
Bao Zheng poured the wine bought by Xiao Liu on the yellow cloth and saw the other half of the words written on it.
Xiaoliu couldn't read and felt very sad when he saw Bao Zheng wasting such good wine on the cloth.
But Bao Zheng was completely confused and completely stupid.
The mystery has been solved.
This is a terrifying truth that, if told, will kill oneself and plunge the country into turmoil!
In the end, everyone supported Bao Zheng.
Because Bao Zheng is not a politician, just a detective.
Bao Zheng only does one thing in his life, that is to find out the truth and let the truth come out!
In the main hall, Bao Zheng first said that the Eight Wise Kings were not the murderers, and then said that the Eight Wise Kings were the murderers.
The emperor was confused.
Then Bao Zheng said that Master Pang was also the murderer.
The Queen Mother is the murderer.
Your Majesty, you are also a murderer.
Bao Zheng told what happened that year word for word.
It turned out that the sixth son was the real prince.
Back then, the civet cat exchanged for the prince, and the six sons were handed over to the seven guards of Chongqing Palace, who were asked to kill the prince and then return to recover.
Chongqing Qiying was not a fool. He knew that he would return to life after killing the prince, and he would definitely be killed.
So, they let the true prince go and fled, living in seclusion in the Hermitage Village.
Among the seven people, Tang Er was frightened and wanted to give up his seclusion and go back to admit his mistake.
The other six men killed him immediately.
All this also ushered in Zhuo Yun's revenge later, which led Bao Zheng to investigate the case, and finally took away the only evidence, Huang Bu.
After Pang Feiyan came out of Hermitage Village, her whereabouts were clearly traced, and Master Pang directly destroyed Hermitage Village.
Unfortunately, it's a step too late.
The truth has been brought out in advance.
The sixth son is the prince.
In this incident, the queen forced many people to death, and the current emperor was the beneficiary.
In order to stabilize the situation of the court, the Eight Wise Kings did not hesitate to die with a sharp knife. They were also prepared to take the blame and die.
Master Pang killed countless people in this incident.
The truth is now revealed.
The audience never expected that the final plot would be so exciting.
This is also the only time that after the conclusion of a case, there are subsequent chapters.
After all parties left, there were actions.
Bao Zheng needs to take everyone and the six sons as soon as possible to leave this place of right and wrong.
Master Pang raised his troops to capture Liuzi.
The Eight Wise Kings also came with their troops and also wanted six sons.
At this time, Bao Zheng didn't believe anyone.
Because Bao Zheng already understood.
In this world, the only ones who can pursue the truth no matter what, are only a group of people like myself.
At this time, the emperor arrived in person.
He wants to have a private chat with Liu Zi.
No one expected that the Sixth Son did not value the throne at all.
Liu Zi knew very well that if he could not read a single word and he was allowed to be the emperor, then the people of this country would be in dire straits.
The emperor was also very confused.
Logically speaking, he should have killed the six sons directly to stabilize the government, but the man in front of him was his brother, of royal blood. He was supposed to be the prince or the emperor, but he turned out to be a noodle shop owner who couldn't even cook noodles.
The emperor sent people to check Liu Zi.
I know that Liuzi has no rules for even cooking noodles, let alone governing the country.
He will never give up the throne.
The sixth son didn't want the throne at all. He had no parents since he was a child. Only later he accidentally met the palace maid Kou Zhu, who was very kind to him.
Then he met Bao Zheng and was willing to be friends with him.
The six sons just want to leave here with their biological mother, Concubine Li.
The emperor immediately said that he would make his six sons rich and noble.
Liu Zi was not interested at all.
Do Liu Zi, who doesn't even care about business even cooking noodles, want to be rich?
Finally, Liu Zi saw Concubine Li who had gone crazy in the cold palace, knelt on the ground from a distance, and then moved forward step by step with his knees.
Neither mother nor son had anything to say, only tears.
When things got to this point, it seemed that Bao Zheng could no longer stay in the court, so he galloped his horse and whip, and left with Gongsun Ce and Zhan Zhao.
【season finale】
When these three words light up.
When "As Long as I Have You" plays.
The audience felt disappointed.
A journey ends here!
The last case brought "Shaobao" to a higher level.
The emperor's thoughts made him worthy of being a benevolent king. He actually considered giving up the throne to Liu Zi. Although he decisively gave up the idea after learning about Liu Zi's ridiculous things.
However, in essence, the emperor himself is the biggest murderer in this incident. If you don't kill Boren, you will die because of you.
Empress Liu, in order for her son to inherit the throne, did such a treasonous and shocking thing, which can be said to be a bad thing.
But she strangely kept all these things out of the environment where the prince could come into contact, and cultivated the prince into a good emperor.
The Eight Wise Kings were known for their wisdom, but in the end, for the sake of stabilizing the government, they committed murder and ordered the headman to die with a knife.
Master Pang, he did all the bad things and all the tricks, but because of his strong desire to control, he finally lost the situation where he could control everything. Because he was impatient, he lost the good situation.
As for these people, Bao Zheng couldn't do anything to them.
And the truth cannot even be announced at all, because once it is announced, the country will be destroyed.
The sixth son knew that he was not that material. He had no interest in the throne or wealth. He just wanted to regain the family ties he had lost.
Concubine Li, because she saw a palace maid in pity, she rewarded her with a bowl of rice, a small act of kindness, and finally got the chance to redress the injustice.
Kou Zhu, because of a bowl of rice, will remember it for a lifetime, and finally repay this bowl of rice with his own life.
These people have complex personalities.
The final plot direction, almost every step is beyond the audience's expectation and completely unexpected.
And every step is reasonable.
And the last case also revealed a truth, that is, power is higher than truth.
Song Ci, also a detective from the Song Dynasty, in "The Punisher of the Song Dynasty", ended up encountering almost the same situation as the young Bao Zheng.
In the end, Song Ci uncovered a shocking case, in which a large number of civil and military personnel of the dynasty were involved.
In the end, the emperor could do nothing and burned the evidence.
Song Ci was disheartened and stayed away from the court.
"Shaobao" went from being high-spirited and famous all over the world, to finally finding out about the emperor.
Nothing can come to fruition.
Bao Zheng is a smart man. Of course he knew that nothing would come of it, but he finally told the truth.
He is willing to risk his life to tell the truth.
The emperor didn't kill him, but he couldn't reuse him, as if everything was tied to a dead end.
In the first case, the country was suffering from internal and external troubles and needed talented people to assist the emperor and govern the world.
Bao Zheng is that talented person.
In the last case, this talented person cannot be used.
This opening and ending simply explain the country of Song Dynasty clearly.
Although there is no mention of those things in the Song Dynasty at all, this design makes people feel that if this thing happened to him, it should have happened in the Song Dynasty.
It’s so in line with the characteristics of this era.
If it was Qin Sui, there would be no Bao Zheng to take care of this business and investigate this case.
If it were in the Han and Tang Dynasties, the emperor would not hesitate to kill Bao Zheng, because there were many talents in the Han and Tang Dynasties, and there was no shortage of this one, and the emperor himself was the greatest talent. He was responsible for this country, and everything that harmed this country
, even if he has good intentions, he must be strangled to death.
Only in the Song Dynasty, everything was so special.
The court was in chaos and fighting continued.
However, he was kind to the literati and rarely used any cruel tricks on the literati, so much so that the emperor did not do anything to Bao Zheng, a man who knew too many secrets.
These complex things constitute the core of Shaobao, which only a few people can understand.
But most people can understand the bizarre circumstances of the case, the wonderful reveal of the conspiracy, and the superb acting skills.
The finale’s ratings of 7.83% are proof of this!
Yang Yi will compress the ending song every time and put more advertisements to generate revenue.
But there are less packages and no compressed ending theme.
That's when the subtitles rolled.
[The 45th episode of Young Bao Qingtian, the ratings are 7.83.]
As soon as the banner came out, the industry was shaken!
The ratings of 7.83 are frightening to death!
"Old Liu, did your show "Chun Temple" just finish broadcasting yesterday? What's the ratings?"
Old Liu: "???"
“Don’t CUE!”
"New World...why do their TV series have such high ratings?"
"By the way, I think that little Zhan Zhao is pretty good. I'm going to write a play for him and let him play the leading role."
"It's finally a grand finale, and my play can be watched."
During the month that Shaobao aired, the TV industry had no way to survive. Better TV series would not dare to appear at all.
In the past month, many satellite TV stations have been rebroadcasting old TV series.
Now spending money to buy TV series to be broadcast is like a meat bun beating a dog, and there will be no return.
Now, the finale is finally here! Many TV series are eager to watch it!
At this time, Yang Hong was the busiest person.
"The rights for the second round of rebroadcasting, right? Four TV stations have bought it, and Nanhe TV requires it to be broadcast fifteen minutes earlier. You can only start broadcasting it at 8:15, are you willing?"
"How much is it? One hundred and sixty million."
"Do you think the replay is too expensive? That's okay, Director Liu. I'll take a call. Frontier TV has called me."
"Oh, 160 million is 160 million, okay, happy cooperation!"
Originally, before the show ended, three satellite TV stations decided to rebroadcast the second round, and they all spent a lot of money.
But as soon as the finale came out, many TV stations called to buy the rebroadcast rights!
We are not fools. Do you think "Shaobao" will just go away?
If his ratings are five, it is indeed a thing of the past.
But now the ratings are 7.83!
This means that the earliest broadcaster of the replay may get a rating of three or more.
Other stations can also get a rating of 2.
The overall ratings for the second round of rebroadcasts may exceed 10!
Sorry, October belongs to "Shaobao" and November belongs to the rerun of "Shaobao"!
Some directors don't know much about the ratings rules in the television industry, and they think that their plays will be watched soon.
After receiving the notice, the station prepared to put down its own dramas and air the second round of "Shaobao" first.
He gritted his teeth in anger.
There's no end to it.
There are twelve months in a year. What do you mean if a TV series takes up two months?
There are thousands of TV series produced across the country a year. If you play alone for two months, the remaining ten months will be divided among everyone, right?
However, there is no way, the ratings are a hard indicator.
The audience's eyes are sharp.
"Hey, let me ask you something, is there no new TV series coming out in New World recently?"
"What? The second season of "Bear Bears" is going to be released? Hahahaha, that's none of my business, let the animation directors have a headache, then my drama will finally be released in December?"
"Huh? Shao Bao will broadcast the third round????"
"What the hell, we want to broadcast the third round? Someone has already offered more than 50 million for the rights to broadcast the third round? What the hell!!!"
Their news is indeed correct.
The second round of "Shaobao" sold a total of 640 million!
The third round of sales was 210 million.
Including Yangma's first-round price of 100 million plus 10% of advertising revenue, the total is 240 million.
"Shaobao" has sold 1.99 billion in TV broadcasts alone!
Although the tax rate is very high, it is at least 700 million after tax!
700 million! What a concept. The current share of the highest-grossing movie in the country is only 600 million.
"Shaobao" directly broke the revenue record of a single work in the film and television industry!!!
Of course, only insiders know that the income is actually not that high.
In order to cooperate with the broadcast, New World spent more than 100 million and promoted it crazily in every corner of the Internet.
Otherwise, even if "Shao Bao" is great, it won't have a ratings rating of 7. After all, it wasn't ten years ago.
But after excluding this over 100 million, the income will still be over 500 million!
This is the power of super hit TV series!
In the market, almost all celebrities are asking when the next TV series of New World will be filmed and what roles are missing.
Soon they got the news.
Next, New World has two TV series to film.
A movie called "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" will start filming after the end of the year.
A movie called "Bright Sword" will start filming around March.
Take a look, are these two new martial arts TV series!? You want to wipe them all out and not give everyone a way to survive!
However, after careful inquiry, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is an IP adaptation and a TV series produced by the ACE9 group.
And "Bright Sword" is an anti-war drama.
Han Zhou will probably not participate in either movie.
An Lan will not participate either.
We also won’t invite too many well-known actors to star.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it’s not a new martial arts drama with Han Zhou as the protagonist!
"Han Zhou's movie "Kung Fu" has been submitted for review and will be released in the spring? Three hundred million has been invested? Are you going to play movies in New World?"
"Thank you so much!"
"Sure enough, after making money, you will go play more profitable games, and you will not compete with us for these three melons and two dates!"
"Haha, let the movie directors have a headache."
"By the way, this year can almost be said to be the year of martial arts. There is also a movie like "Kung Fu" released during the Spring Festival. Will it be a hit?"
Whether in the industry or outside the industry, almost everyone paid attention to "Kung Fu" during this incident.
You must know that Han Zhou's two new martial arts TV series this year have directly exploded the market.
Each one explodes more than the other.
But now, a movie is released, and it’s a kung fu movie, so why don’t you pay attention to it?
A large number of film critics and entertainment media have also begun to warm up "Kung Fu", making many passers-by look forward to it.
The TV series are all so beautifully shot, and the production is at the movie level, so why shouldn’t it take off?
However, within New World, apart from spending money on marketing and promoting "Kung Fu", no one paid special attention to "Kung Fu".
because.
"Diaosi Men" and "Wan Wan Wan Wan Fang" started airing almost simultaneously.
Moreover, the members of ACE9 all started to promote "Unexpectedly" to save their reputation. After all, Liu Yanzhou is the male protagonist of this short film drama.
And many celebrities who participated in "Diaosi Men" have also begun to promote "Diaosi Men".
This is what the entertainment industry is like, you sing and I go on stage...
Wait a minute? How come you, after the New World singer finished singing, the New World singer came on stage again?
What the hell are you doing!!!
————
After studying for a long time, this "Civet Cat for the Prince" is really not suitable for writing the original plot or using dialogue, so I wrote it directly through narration.
