Chapter 212 "Bright Sword" looks up and breaks the record
July 1st at 8pm.
This time, Han Zhou was not in Yang Ma’s office building.
Not in Yang Yi's office.
As a result, Director Ren felt that Han Zhou was not sure about the premiere of "Bright Sword".
Little did he know that Han Zhou was so confident that he didn't even bother to look.
To be honest, does Liang Jian have a high status in movies and TV dramas about the Anti-Japanese War?
High, not high either.
The reason why it is high is because of its extremely high popularity.
It's not high because it actually has flaws.
A large number of people who consider themselves to be intellectuals have publicized the differences between the TV series version and the novel version of Liang Jian on a certain page, believing that Liang Jian did not withstand the pressure of censorship and the second half of the movie was not filmed.
However, the TV series became popular only because the second half of the novel was not filmed.
The real flaws of Liang Jian are the reasons why the audience loves Liang Jian.
That is the imperfection of the protagonist Li Yunlong.
And this imperfection has become the key to the success of Liangjian.
When the TV series started airing, Han Zhou watched it on the TV in the hotel.
Chen Feng and Chuck Ce stayed in Han Zhou's room forever, eating midnight snacks.
Lin Xiaoxing did not need to stay in a hotel. As a local, he had actually been visiting friends in Guangfu during this period.
Chen Feng and Zhang Ceyong felt very strange when they watched the beginning of the TV series.
This time in the TV series, there are no exquisite costumes. Instead, the clothes of the characters are very dirty, visibly dirty to the naked eye.
The story begins with the Anti-Japanese War.
Li Yunlong, commander of the New 1st Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division, led his troops to rely on excellent tactics and tactics to become more courageous as they fought, making the enemy frightened.
In the battle with the Sakata Regiment of the Sakura Army, he successfully broke through from the front and killed Sakata.
At the same time, Chu Yunfei, the commander of the 358th Regiment of the National Army, also noticed the power of Li Yunlong, who was still an ally at this time.
However, the task given to Li Yunlong by his superiors was to break out of the encirclement, not to engage in battle. Although he took over the command post of the opposing unit, he still disobeyed orders on the battlefield.
The superiors decided to let Ding Wei, the leader of the 28th Regiment, who was going to study in the base area, replace Li Yunlong's original position. Li Yunlong was transferred to the rear as the director of the quilt factory.
At this time, the Sakura National Army sent a combat team to raid the Independent Regiment. The Independent Regiment suffered heavy losses, and the leader had to once again transfer Li Yunlong, who was still punished, to serve in the Independent Regiment.
A pure and refreshing start.
To be precise, "Bright Sword" is no different from all divine dramas in terms of embodying the power of war dramas.
What really makes "Bright Sword" exude its charm is the fact that Li Yunlong was punished.
A less-than-perfect protagonist appears very attractive in this genre.
Chen Feng showed his thumbs up: "How dare you take a photo."
Chuck Chang: "Indeed, you dare to shoot an imperfect protagonist. During the Anti-Japanese War, there were too many fighting heroes of all types and levels. Almost everyone was perfect. You dared to shoot an imperfect protagonist. To be honest, it was a bit exciting.
.”
Han Zhou: "This drama relies on this to attract the audience."
Zhang Ceyong was a little confused: "What's the truth?"
Han Zhou: "Let's put it this way, in that era, the stories of various fighting heroes were more dramatic than the dramas on the market today, because they themselves had mythical achievements."
"However, viewers who don't know much about history don't realize that there were so many legendary and almost perfect warriors in that era."
"They'll think it's fake."
"As for me, the protagonist, I am closer to the audience, so they will subconsciously think it is familiar."
Han Zhou actually didn't really want to comment on Li Yunlong that way.
Because this character was definitely one of the top ten, or even top three, most popular characters in the history of television.
However, compared with the real fighting heroes and heroic captains in history, Li Yunlong is really not strong, and can even be said to be weak.
A very simple example. Based on Li Yunlong's qualifications, when he was finally awarded the title, he was one level lower than expected. It can be seen that those who were one level higher had greater military exploits than Li Yunlong.
During the war years, many people joined the army at the age of fourteen, fifteen, or even twelve or thirteen, before their outlook on life was formed.
We have been influenced by what we hear and see, and in this environment, we have worked hard for a common goal all our lives.
These people are naturally perfect spiritually because they rarely have the moral flaws that ordinary people have.
And among so many people who are exemplary spiritually and morally, there are a small number of people who are gifted and are born to be warriors and commanders.
After a long time, it is very common to become a "saint" like the god of war.
This world is similar to the previous life in this respect. Because of the difficulty of founding the country, a large number of fighting heroes have emerged.
There are more than forty first-level combat heroes officially certified by our army alone, and there are hundreds of second-level combat heroes and second-level models combined.
Just click on someone's profile and take a quick look at it, and you'll be suffocated by it.
A first-level combat hero either blocks and repulses the opponent's attack of thousands of people at least five times, or annihilates more than a hundred enemies in a single battle, or endures a fatal situation with iron will.
Pain, hidden targets, and finally the ambush of the large army was successful.
The records of these people, just pick one out, and you can make up the story of the captain of the United States.
Second-level combat heroes usually cooperate with their comrades or lead a team to fight against the enemy at a higher level. When the firepower is already several levels lower, they fight against company-level enemies or even battalion-level enemies with platoon-level numbers.
Also, his personal bravery reached an exaggerated level, killing over two hundred enemies in total.
Han Zhou randomly flipped through some information on the Internet and showed it to the two of them.
This is a fighting hero named Lu Junsheng. In a hand-to-hand combat in 1938, one man killed twenty-seven Japanese soldiers. In an attack in 1939, in a hand-to-hand combat, he killed and wounded sixty puppet soldiers.
.
I once rushed to the enemy's bunker, grabbed the hot machine gun from the machine gun's muzzle with my bare hands, and dragged the enemy out of the bunker with both men and guns.
He also once led a company to annihilate 109 enemy soldiers at the cost of one injured person and no one killed.
"How is this kind of record?" Han Zhou asked.
Chen Feng: "Fierce."
Han Zhou: "This person was only rated as a regional combat hero, not even a national second-level combat model."
In front of the second-level combat models, there are first-level combat models, as well as second-level combat heroes, first-level combat heroes, and special-level combat heroes.
Just take the information of any one of these hundreds of people and make a TV series, and the result will be more of a drama than a drama.
But... the audience won't believe it.
The audience won't believe this, because in the modern environment, it is difficult to do this.
In the past, it was because of these people and their merits and deeds that our army grew stronger, drove away the enemy invaders, and established this country.
The problem is, these people are too perfect.
When filmed, it looks like it was made up.
On the contrary, Li Yunlong's story was made up, but it seemed true.
The reason is that Li Yunlong is not perfect.
He is powerful, but not powerful enough to be like a god of war.
He's cunning, he's uneducated, he's a bit of a scoundrel, and he's quick to turn over a book.
These look more like the characteristics of the neighbor next door, which is what makes him attractive.
But in fact, this type of commanders and fighters were truly rare in the army back then.
Because at the beginning, those who joined our army were all ambitious young people, as well as local warriors who were taken out of their hometowns by ambitious young people.
Through being influenced by what they saw and heard, and studying every day, until the Anti-Japanese War, the personal qualities of the officers and soldiers were already very strong, both in terms of character, ability and mouth.
As Li Yunlong himself said, when he was crossing the grassland, everyone else was starving, so he jumped into the army to grab food, and ended up taking the blame for the march.
Li Yunlong is not powerful, but an alien.
Precisely because he is an alien, he becomes even more attractive after a different era.
The original author of "Bright Sword" once served as a screenwriter and filmed "New Bright Sword". This movie with the same plot was criticized by the audience, not because it was not good-looking, but because it did not meet the audience's imagination.
When there was no "Bright Sword", there were divine dramas, and everyone imagined an imperfect but powerful protagonist.
After "Bright Sword", Li Yunlong became a standard.
Listening to the music at the beginning of the second episode, Zhang Ceyong suddenly turned around and asked: "Han Zhou, can your drama's ratings break two?"
Han Zhou: "Remove the word "?"
Chen Feng: "So, the goal is to break two?"
Han Zhou: "Target multiplied by five."
Zhang Ceyong glared and shrank his neck: "???"
Chen Feng knew that Han Zhou was powerful in TV dramas, so he chose to believe it, and then asked: "How many episodes will it take to complete this goal? There are thirty episodes in total. Can the twenty-fifth episode break ten!?"
Han Zhou took a sip of water and said calmly, "It should have been broken."
In the previous life, "Bright Sword" was released on CCTV without much publicity.
The first episode broke the 7% record of the highest ratings of the annual drama "Emperor of Han Dynasty" that year.
You must know that the seven percent of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was already terrifying.
As for "Bright Sword," the first episode broke the ratings record accumulated by the entire series "Emperor of Han Wu".
And in this world, with Han Zhou's face here as a guarantee, there are many TV drama fans waiting to watch the drama today.
You must know that before filming The Sword, the actor Li Yunlong in his previous life had not appeared in several TV series that were popular across the country, nor had he set an annual record.
And what about the current configuration? Less than a year has passed since Li Hansheng participated in Xie Fu's "Charge", and his fame was already at its peak.
In addition, the popularity of other characters is no less than that of the original version, or even higher, and Han Zhou plays the role of a monk. In terms of configuration, he is the best actor in a male drama.
In terms of acting skills, it's a 50-50 split, but in terms of fame, it's much greater.
The second is that with the support of Han Zhou and New World, Yang Ma quickly reached a unified internal position and strongly promoted "Bright Sword".
Even if The Sword itself only has a 2% ratings, it still has to be pushed to 3%.
Because this sign cannot be smashed.
But they pushed it so hard in a supportive manner, which actually made "Bright Sword" famous before it was broadcast.
Anyone who has watched any of Yang Yi's programs in the past two weeks should have seen the premiere trailer of "Bright Sword" at the end.
Han Zhou felt that if there was no forced promotion, the ratings would be about 5%.
The 5% rating in this era should be the same as the 8% rating in the original era.
But with this strong promotion, Han Zhou's goal is a 10% ratings.
In this prime time, the number of viewers who turn on the TV is logically only one-third of the number of viewers who own a TV.
In other words, for every one hundred TV sets, ten will watch The Sword.
For every 100 TVs that are turned on, almost 30 are watching The Sword.
To achieve this goal.
It was originally difficult, but after the news broadcast ended, Director Ren played the role of Han Zhou's brother again and let the host finally say: "Tonight's Prime Time TV series "Bright Sword", with the spirit of Bright Sword,
, I would like to send you a congratulatory gift for Army Day. This summer, come and see the war years of our ancestors."
Just this sentence has a three-point rating.
Chen Feng heard that Han Zhou was so crazy and touched Han Zhou's forehead: "You don't have a fever?"
"Are you thinking too much?"
"Let me remind you, it has been sixteen years since a TV series had a ratings rating of over 10."
"The ratings for the first episode exceeded 10, what good things are you thinking of..."
Han Zhou: "Hey, do you understand us so well?"
Of course Chen Feng went to check it out. Chen Feng had previously hoped that the ratings of "Shaobao" could exceed 10, so that he would no longer be a reluctant rock king, but a real king without a prefix. After all, Chen Feng starred in
Although the character in "Shaobao" is a corpse, when the relevant agencies evaluate the King, they don't look at whether he is the protagonist or not, only whether he has achieved results.
So Chen Feng went to check the data at that time.
But then the limit of "Shaobao" was seven, but it couldn't break ten. To be precise, it was far from it.
This time, Chen Feng appeared again, playing the role of Chang Naichao in "I'm not good at running".
If it really breaks through 10 this time, Chen Feng will not only be the king of record sales certification, but also the king of official reviews.
You must know that at the beginning, Chuck Cheung starred in three films and TV shows, but in terms of the title, he had to wait in line for several years.
And if you have enough grades, you don’t have to wait, you can get it right away.
Chen Feng certainly cares about this.
After all, the entertainment industry is essentially a vanity fair. At the beginning, it is about profit. After reaching this level, it is all about face, and a face itself is money.
Han Zhou: "It's just my prediction."
"My prediction model is different from other people's, so every prediction I make is exaggerated, but every prediction is roughly correct."
Every time, Han Zhou uses the ratings of the original version that has gone through the market test in his previous life, performs year replacement, and then calculates the publicity impact after conversion to multiply the coefficient.
The difference won't be too big.
Unless, during this period, my own flag falls.
Among the actors in the country who are still active in the front line, how many of them have TV series that have broken five or seven?
Han Zhou himself is now the biggest guarantee of ratings. It is normal to estimate that it is a little higher.
While Chen Feng was asking, Zhang Ceyong took a mouthful of skewers and chewed them: "Stop making predictions and hand out banners."
Of course everyone in the circle knows that the banner at the top is most likely an announcement of good news.
Moreover, Yang Ma is generally quite calm. Even if she breaks the record, she will always send out a banner when an episode is finished.
A banner was actually put up during the broadcast, which seems to be big news.
Zhang Ceyong picked up the milk tea and took a sip: "Ouch!"
Chen Feng: "Ah? That's awesome."
Han Zhou: "Oh, I made a little miscalculation."
One factor is missing.
At this time, someone in a TV drama director's group posted an exclamation point.
Then someone posted a picture with an exclamation point.
Next, everyone is +1
This picture of an exclamation point has swept the screen like crazy.
Until the last era, director Wei Hengyan, who was famous for his TV dramas and had the masterpiece "Smoke in the Fire" with a ratings of 11%, spoke out: "The records cannot be preserved. I am afraid that my records of the past sixteen years cannot be preserved.
"
A director named Lu Xi: "My dad said that fortunately when he was filming "Three Kingdoms", the audience had few choices, so the ratings were as high as 83%. If it had been filmed a few years later, I might not have been able to do "Bright Sword"."
Someone did some math: "Based on the original number of TV users, compared with today's number of users, if it is purely compared to the number of viewers, it doesn't seem to be much ahead."
Someone complained: "Han Zhou is such a pervert. Why is every drama so exaggerated? It's so fucking hard for me to explain, but he actually..."
Others complained: "Didn't someone hear rumors before that this guy will take over the job of directing the Spring Festival Gala this year? Why the hell did he find time to film a drama and come here to criticize us?"
A group of people became 'infuriated' and finally 'died down'.
When the ratings are close to 0.1, it can inspire unlimited fighting spirit.
When the ratings are less than one, it gives people the feeling that my next drama will be good.
Drama with poor ratings can't even arouse people to challenge themselves.
'We are not in the same group. We are the ones who make TV series, while they are the ones who make classics.'
Han Zhou in front of the TV shook his head: "Oh, I still made a mistake."
"I didn't expect that the people covered by Yangma's advertising, my TV fan base, and the audience of Yangyi's military and war-themed audience overlap with each other."
"In the past, the ratings were low, only 5%. The overlap was not obvious. It is easy to speculate. Now that the ratings are higher, there is too much overlap."
Chen Feng and Zhang Ceyong looked at each other.
Are you speaking in human language? In the past, it was only 5%, and the ratings were "low", but now it is "a little higher".
Zhang Ceyong: "I feel like this guy is showing off."
Chen Feng: "Be more confident and remove the word "I feel".
Han Zhou laughed: "Only those who are not awesome need to pretend to be awesome, and I am just stating a fact."
Zhang Ceyong: "Hit him?"
Chen Feng: "Put down the chicken wings. I still want to eat the chicken wings. I'll beat him with this skewer of slightly burnt tofu skin."
Zhang Ceyong: "I just like to eat roasted ones, otherwise I can beat him with this corn cob."
Han Zhou stepped back: "What are you doing?"
I thought to myself, I’d better not order Northeastern BBQ next time. It’s too honest. Grilled corn is really corn on the cob. It’s better to have barbecue in Shu Province. Grilled corn is just corn kernels. If you don’t have the cob after eating, you won’t get whipped.
The three of them were fencing with corn cobs when Han Zhou's phone rang.
Han Zhou sheathed his sword and raised it in front of his eyebrows: "Temporary truce, answer the phone."
Chen Feng sneered: "All masters can do two things at once."
Zhang Ceyong took a bite of the bald corn cob in his hand and whipped Han Zhou with a bunch of big pork belly: "Yes, for example, I can eat the big pork belly and whip you at the same time."
Han Zhou blocked the big pork belly, and Zhang Ceyong realized that he raised his left and right hands wrongly.
Han Zhou: "Don't make trouble, Director Ren's phone number."
"Director of Yangyi Prime Time."
Chen Feng and Zhang Ceyong stopped. Han Zhou was about to answer the phone when Chen Feng said: "Hands-free!"
Han Zhou clicked on the speakerphone.
On the other end of the phone, Director Ren said: "Oh my brother Han! He is so awesome!"
"The ratings for the first episode of the premiere are 8.53!!"
"The advertising rating before broadcast was 3.9, which means the built-in rating is almost 4.5."
"The remaining 4% of the ratings are those who changed the channel during the first episode or stayed on Yangyi as soon as the TV was turned on."
“That’s awesome!”
"A record of more than ten years was broken on the first broadcast!"
"After the broadcast of "Bright Sword" is over, it might break the record of thirteen!"
Han Zhou said happily: "It's nothing. I initially predicted that the ratings of the first episode would exceed 10, but unfortunately it was only 8.5."
Director Ren was stunned. He was stunned for a moment and then said: "Ah? Do you value it so much? You didn't say it earlier, you should have said it earlier, you should have said it earlier, you, oh my brother!"
Han Zhou: "Huh?"
Director Ren: "We thought you didn't have much confidence in "Bright Sword" and didn't do much to promote it."
"If you had said so confident earlier, we would have launched an omni-channel promotion for a month!"
"Then it will break ten!"
Han Zhou laughed: "It's impossible. The ratings for the first episode were 8.5, and the final highest rating was almost 11. The highest rating won't exceed 12.5."
The great thing about Liangjian is that it can capture all the first-class audiences and passers-by.
However, the disadvantage is that the audience for soap operas, family ethics dramas, youth idol dramas, and other three types of dramas will not have the slightest interest in "Bright Sword".
Therefore, "Bright Sword" has actually attracted more than 60% of the audience it could attract.
No matter how high you are, it won't be that high. It's not quite the same as martial arts.
Martial arts has a low base, so the growth multiplier is high.
Bright Sword has a high base, so there is not much room for breakthrough.
Director Ren laughed numbly: "Breaking Eleven is super awesome. It's been so many years since there was a TV series about Broken Ten!"
The ratings of "Shaobao" actually exceeded 10.
It's just that in the second round of rebroadcasts on major TV stations, the combined ratings exceeded 10.
It was already sixteen years ago that a TV series had a ratings of over 10 on a single TV station.
Very far away.
Director Ren: "Besides, your character hasn't appeared yet. When your character comes out, many of your die-hard TV fans will come to watch it."
"It's a pity that your character died too early and was gone in seventeen episodes. Why didn't you just play it in episode thirty-two?"
This version contains two more episodes than the original version about conquering the Taiwan Strait, so there are thirty-two episodes in total.
Han Zhou: "That's wrong. The death of the monk is the beginning of the peak of the sword."

Asking for a monthly pass.
I'm back in the city. I was stuck in traffic today and my head is buzzing.
It took more than two hours of brewing before I typed the first word on the keyboard. It was so uncomfortable.
The first half of the writing was not smooth at first, but the second half finally became smooth.
