Director Zhao was sitting on the sofa. On the TV screen in front of him, the subtitles of "The End of the Play" appeared, and the theme song of "The End of the World" was mixed with the cast list in the form of floating subtitles.
The door was pushed open, and the deputy director walked in and said with a smile: "The average revenue is 15.6, the highest number of viewers is 170 million, and this round of advertising revenue is 220 million."
Director Zhao smiled and said, "Very good."
He made the final decision to purchase the first broadcast rights of "The Condor" for 1 million episodes. Now it is the finale. The final average ratings reached a record-breaking 15.6, and the advertising revenue also reached the highest ever of 220 million for the first round of a single drama.
He was very satisfied.
Director Zhao picked up a news report to be issued, which was written by a senior film and television editor in the Taili editorial department, and he read it.
The title is - On the reasons why "The Condor" is now a phenomenal TV series.
[First, the roles of Yang Guo and Xiao Longnv were chosen correctly. As popular public figures, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are very familiar to the audience, and their good looks are in line with the audience's aesthetics.
The age difference between the two is only three years, and their temperaments and figures match well. Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei will play Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu, and most viewers will not feel incompatible.
Second, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are lovers in reality. This is known to many viewers. Because of this, when viewers watch their Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu, they will naturally believe in their feelings, and the interpretation of true feelings will increase.
Arouse the audience's empathy.
Third, except for the male and female protagonists, the cast is excellent. Whether it is Li Mochou, Huang Rong and Guo Jing, Gongsun Zhi, or even Zhen Zhibing, the corresponding actors all performed well and should be effective.
Many viewers hate Zhen Zhibing. What I want to say is, it’s okay to hate him.
If they didn't hate Zhen Zhibing, how could Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu have so many ups and downs?
If there were no ups and downs, how could the love between Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu have so many touching plots?
If it doesn't touch people's hearts and resonate with the audience, how can "The Condor" be popular?
Including Li Mochou, Huang Rong, and Guo Jing, as long as they are characters who resist the love between Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu, they all play well.
Fourth, the most praiseworthy thing about Zhang Jizhong is that he follows and insists on his real-life shooting. His lens and lighting arrangements beautify the natural scenery to a great extent, beautifying the picture and making it highly ornamental. Compared with recent costume dramas
, attracted many viewers to a certain extent.
Fifth, Zhang Jizhong has always paid attention to special effects. Whether it is "The Swordsman" or "Dragon", he has his own special effects film and television company to provide the background. The special effects are not sloppy, and they are well integrated with the picture, which can attract people to a certain extent.
audience.
Sixth, the popularity of the popular election of "The Condor" greatly raised the starting point of the ratings for the premiere of "The Condor". Under the premise that the script was qualified and the above five points were achieved, the ratings continued to rise.
Seventh, the intentional avoidance of Mango Channel, Shancheng Channel, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Channel, Shenghai Channel and other channels has reduced the scope of viewers’ choices to follow dramas, making "The Condor" the "only seedling" of pre-heated dramas in the past one month.
Improved ratings.
Eighth, in the past two or three years, serious dramas such as history, the Republic of China, police and criminal investigation, etc. have occupied about 60% of the domestic TV industry. According to online and offline anonymous surveys, 70% of young people do not like such dramas, and middle-aged and elderly people do not like these dramas.
This type of drama provides mainstream viewership.
Since the Taiwanese drama "Meteor Garden" was introduced to the mainland in 2001, the ratings of Taiwanese dramas broadcast every year have been very high, without exception.
What these idol dramas have in common is that the emotional line is the only main line, and the other branch lines and auxiliary lines all serve the emotional line.
Although "The Condor" is an ancient puppet rather than an urban idol drama, its story structure is consistent with the story structure of these Taiwanese dramas, so it has attracted a large number of young viewers to increase the ratings.
There has never been a costume drama in China with emotion as the main theme, so based on the achievement of the first seven points, the phenomenal popularity of "The Condor" can be expected to a certain extent.
Due to the popularity of "The Condor", the production industry may dig deeper into it. It is expected that the domestic TV drama market will see a series of pure idol dramas with love as the theme.
However, there may be many followers, but how to innovate new things is the fundamental thing to attract the audience.】
Director Zhao turned to the last page and read it. He handed it to the deputy director and said, "It's remarkable. It can be used as a reference for this year's film purchase choices."
The deputy station director took the report and heard the station director say: "Let the Bright Times know about the data."
"Yes." The deputy director nodded.
As the first round of "The Condor" has ended, online discussions are heated. At the same time, major TV stations and industry insiders are also waiting for CCTV to release the results. As a producer, Bright Times is naturally paying attention at this moment.
Brilliant Era, Chairman's Office.
It was almost 11 o'clock in the evening. Wang Jinhua, Zhang Jizhong, and Yu Min were still sitting on the sofa chatting. They were all waiting for news from CCTV.
While waiting for the chat, Wang Jinhua took a document and flipped through it.
The documents contain dense records of endorsement invitations.
The endorsement companies are different, but the same thing is that they all invite Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, and there is one thing in common. For every endorsement, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are invited to endorse them at the same time.
The endorsement company is not stupid. With "The Condor" so popular, the gimmick of separating Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu is far inferior to that of merging Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu.
Just look at the Weiyu login page, with Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei as the back plan. Many young users have become accustomed to Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei appearing at the same time.
With this subconscious perception, and with the popularity of "The Condor", hiring Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei as double spokespersons at the same time will maximize the commercial effect.
Of course Wang Jinhua understands the meaning of these endorsement companies, and she has no objection. This is also in line with the "national couple" route she designed for Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei.
With the popularity of "The Condor", "National Couple" has already achieved initial success.
The rest just needs more exposure for the audience to have a subconscious reaction.
These endorsements have a spontaneous publicity effect due to the influence of different social classes, which is exactly what she wants.
As for the quality of endorsements, she divided the dozens of endorsement invitations into three categories: high-end, mid-range, and down-to-earth.
One endorsement for each grade is enough.
This approach will allow Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei to further comprehensively open up the visibility of all social classes.
But she planned to let Liu Xiaoli decide which endorsement she would accept, or let Liu Xiaoli, Chu Xuan, and Qian Qian, as a family of three, discuss it themselves.
Liu Xiaoli has been studying with her for a long time, and she has gradually handed over the business affairs of Chu Xuan and Qian Qian to Liu Xiaoli.
Liu Xiaoli wanted to be Chu Xuan and Qian Qian's manager and assistant. Although this was rare in the entertainment industry, she would make it happen if they had such conditions.
As Chu Xuan's sister, she can just give advice at critical moments.
Wang Jinhua put down the document and looked at several other documents on the coffee table with her peripheral vision. One was the "Struggle" script, one was the "I Am an Actor" variety show plan, and one was the "I Am an Actor" national image endorsement recruitment plan.
One is the celebrity invitation list and investment letter prepared by the teaching teacher behind "I Am an Actor".
I heard Chu Xuan called today and said that if "Hope" goes well, it will be finished tomorrow, and "Zhu Xian" will be almost finished.
I also remembered that as producers, Chu Xuan and Qian Qian had to focus on the post-production of two film and television dramas, and were also busy with graduation.
After looking at several documents on the coffee table, Wang Jinhua secretly said, "These two people are very busy this year."
Suddenly, the phone rang.
Zhang Jizhong and Yu Min stopped communicating.
Under the gaze of the two people, Wang Jinhua picked up the phone and answered the call.
With a smile on her face, Wang Jinhua hung up the phone and said: "15.6. With the ratings of TV series declining year by year, it is estimated that no drama will be able to break this record in the future."
Zhang Jizhong and Yu Min grinned and looked at Wang Jinhua, feeling particularly happy.
As a producer and director, this achievement can be regarded as an honor in the industry.
"The stone in my heart has also been put down, and I will prepare for "The Deer and the Cauldron" next." Zhang Jizhong stretched his body and leaned back on the sofa.
At the same time, CCTV published the data of "The Condor" on the Internet, which naturally caused quite a stir.
CCTV official media: [Title - Leading the entire time period, "The Condor" has set a ratings record in the past two years!
In the lead-up to the popular elections early last year, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" finally premiered on February 13, 2006.
The nine episodes in the premiere week, with its enviable emotions, beautiful images, hidden murderous intentions, unexpected accidents, unsatisfactory plots, and ups and downs of the plot, kept the audience lingering and discussing.
In the subsequent dramas, a panoramic perspective is used to open up a magnificent world of rivers and lakes; the battles between countries show the chivalrous spirit of the great knights; the insinuations of decadent feudal etiquette create a story of perseverance and perseverance.
The path of inquiry.
From the initial laughter and tears of the male and female protagonists trying to survive, to the bitterness and sweetness of separation and reunification, to the beautiful ending witnessed by the whole people, we can experience a scene of love that is unparalleled in the world.
It can be sung and wept, full of joy and sorrow.
Even if there are regrets, life is just like that.
What is love in the world? Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu told us the answer.
During the broadcast period, the premiere of "The Condor" ranked first in prime time ratings with an average of 13.77!
As soon as the broadcast was launched, it became a hot search topic and dominated the charts for five weeks!
Now "The Condor" has ended, with an average revenue of 15.6 and a peak of 170 million viewers, setting a record for domestic TV dramas in the past two years!
This is proof of the prosperity of domestic TV dramas and a grand occasion created by the pursuit of the market.
Xiaoyun from Shenghai was sitting in front of the computer. When she saw the news, she smiled broadly and was very happy.
After receiving the official confirmation and seeing the popularity of "The Condor", she thought that Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei would get better and better because of it. As their loyal fans, she was very happy.
Scroll down the webpage, and many night owl netizens are discussing it heatedly.
【170 million views? Awesome!】
[On average, one out of eight people has watched "The Condor", Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei take off!]
[Not only that, but there will also be subsequent replays. 】
The audience doesn't have much intuitive feeling about the ratings.
But for the intuitive numbers, the audience exclaimed in surprise.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are going to be extremely popular. This is the final feeling of the audience.
[There should be no one more popular than Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei in China right now, right?]
[Zhao Wei and Zhang Ziyi can compare.]
[Where is Chenglong? Where is Li Lianjie?]
[You can’t compare with these people. Chenglong and Li Lianjie are already the banners of Chinese cinema. Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are still far from reaching this point.]
[It is true that the levels of influence are different and cannot be compared. But just looking at popularity, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are unmatched in mainland China.]
Xiaoyun pouted. Although in her mind Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were indeed inferior to internationally influential actors such as Chenglong, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were still young. Where would they go in the future? No one knew
Know.
As a loyal audience and fan, she has great expectations for this.
In any case, the surge in popularity of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei is real. The number of followers of Weiyu alone has soared by as much as 4 million. The number of followers of both of them has reached about 13 million, and the total number of users is only 4,000.
For a micro-entertainment with tens of thousands, this number is terrifying.
However, there are many famous people, and there are always some gossips to attack Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei. But since there is no leader in the organization, these remarks are instantly washed away by normal comments.
[I’ve finished chasing "The Condor" and I’m getting bored again.]
[Sit back and wait for "Zhu Xian".]
["Zhu Xian" is still a long way off. It hasn't been completed yet, and I don't know how long the post-production will take. Just wait.]
[Liu Yi Fei said that she will film a TV series with Chu Xuan this year. I am really looking forward to it. As long as it is a drama between the two of them, it will definitely be interesting.】
[There is no news at all. Instead of looking forward to this, it is better to look forward to Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei’s science fiction micro-movie. After all, it is just a micro-movie, so you don’t need to spend too much time anyway.]
【Hey, wait.】
Along with the divergent discussions on the Internet, the heat started to rise again during the day the next day.
In the studio of the film and television base, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei got the information about "The Condor" through Sister Hua's phone call last night and continued filming as usual today.
"54 scenes, 1 shot, 7 shots, let's begin!" The recorder signed off and exited the set.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are wearing spacesuits.
Chu Xuan twisted the iron ring on the hatch and prepared to open the hatch.
The moment the cabin door was about to open, Chu Xuan turned his head to look at Liu Yifei and stretched out a hand.
Liu Yifei naturally held his hand. After experiencing the previous plot, she understood what was going to happen next.
Chu Xuan held Liu Yifei's hand tightly with one hand and opened the hatch completely with the other hand.
For a moment, as if there was an impact from a giant beast outside, a staff member violently pushed the cabin door open. Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were lifted up by the pressure at the same time, and their bodies flew into the air.
This is the last scene in their shooting plan. The hero and heroine find the hatch leading to the outside world.
Since there is a large pressure difference between the outside air and the air inside the cabin, the moment the door is opened for ventilation, the outside air will pour into the cabin like a hurricane.
Chu Xuan tightly grasped the iron ring on the cabin door, and Liu Yifei held his hand.
The bodies of the two people were kept parallel to the ground, as if they were being blown inward by a hurricane, and they looked like they would be blown away if they were not careful.
After a few seconds, the air pressure seems to have reached equilibrium, which means the hurricane-like airflow has stabilized.
Due to the weightlessness caused by gravity, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei slowly landed on the ground under the control of Teacher Wia.
They started to walk out, walking very slowly, because if they walked faster, they would float. This is a setting made by "Hope" based on scientific basis.
They walked out of the hatch and looked around at the green cloth in front of them.
And this scene is connected with the first scene between the two of them in "Hope".
In front of the monitor, Wen Muye looked at the screen, then glanced at Li Xue and Liu Yi.
Li Xue and Liu Yi nodded.
Wenmu smiled, picked up the walkie-talkie and said: "Finished!!"
On the set, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei took off their protective masks, looked at each other and hugged each other.
"It's finished." Liu Yifei said with her head in Chu Xuan's arms.
Chu Xuan lowered his head and kissed her, and after leaving, he led Liu Yifei to the dressing room.
"How do you feel?" Chu Xuan tilted his head to look at her.
Liu Yifei raised her eyebrows, thought for a moment, stroked her hair and said, "It's very cool, because I got to experience a type of role that I have never played before;"
"It's difficult because what we play is incompatible with real life;"
"I feel a sense of accomplishment, because we are filming a science fiction film that is not available in China, and we have finally completed it after going through many difficulties;"
"I am also more confident, because I have mastered advanced acting methods and become a real actor, which has narrowed the performance gap between you and me."
“At the same time, I also learned a lot of shooting techniques and setting methods.”
“Overall, it’s been a fruitful experience.”
Hearing what Liu Yifei said, Chu Xuan nodded: "I feel the same, keep working hard."
Liu Yifei let out a lively "Hmm", and because of the pleasure brought by the completion of the shoot, she shook Chu Xuan's hand and walked into the dressing room with Chu Xuan.
After a few minutes, the two people changed into normal clothes and came out.
Teachers such as Wen Mino and Li Xue applauded to celebrate the completion of filming. They also recognized the attitude of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei who encountered difficulties during the filming but worked hard to overcome them.
"Thank you teachers."
"Thank you teachers."
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei smiled slightly, put their hands together and bent down slightly to express their gratitude.
A 28-minute short film with a normal theme can be completed in a week at most if the same scene is shot without transitions.
But "Hope" is a science fiction theme. With the hard work of the teachers, the lack of a lot of film and television industry infrastructure, and the joint efforts of everyone, it took more than a month to complete.
During this period, teachers from various departments made great contributions. On the contrary, the contribution of the two actors was not great. They only had to act according to the guidance of the teachers.
But the two of them are not only actors, but also producers and story providers, and their contribution is the most important.
Under Fumino's instructions, the crew began to dismantle the scene and restore everything in the studio.
Not only Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, but also the teachers felt a little emotional when they saw this scene.
This was a place they had worked hard on for more than a month, but it was gone. Before leaving, they still felt a little nostalgic. After all, everyone's hard work had gone into it.
But we have to look forward. No matter what, a film and television drama is the result of everyone's joint efforts. It is a good thing that it is successfully completed. Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei's science fiction trilogy plan can also be regarded as a small step forward.
Fumino and the teachers were dismantling the equipment, while Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei came to another large studio, which was the studio where the "Zhu Xian" crew was located.
"Producers Chu and Liu are here?" Huang Lei looked at the two people walking towards them with a joking look on his face.
All the teachers and actors turned their heads and smiled.
"Get ready to start!" Zhao Jian saw Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei coming and gave the order.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei greeted everyone, then sat down in front of the monitor and looked at the screen.
Huang Xuan and Dong Xuan took their places, and the recording began after the scene notes were recorded.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei looked at the script in their hands. The green cloth was the ruins scene of Caomiao Village, and they knew what scene they were filming.
On the set, next to a built wooden house, Huang Xuan was sawing wood with tools, doing what ordinary people do.
The other end of the green cloth represents the entrance to Caomiao Village.
Dong Xuan appeared and looked at the only wooden house that she could tell was a newly built wooden house. When she heard the movement coming from the wooden house although there was no one around, ripples appeared in her eyes and she guessed that Zhang Xiaofan was here.
Dong Xuan walked forward slowly while looking at the surrounding environment.
Suddenly, her face paused.
There is a bell on the eaves of the wooden house.
The bell is wrapped with a piece of light green gauze, which is the corner of Baguio's clothes.
Dong Xuan's mouth curled up, and she waved at the bell to say hello in a friendly manner.
Unexpectedly, the bell rang "ding bell bell", as if Baguio was sending a friendly greeting to Lu Xueqi.
Dong Xuan was stunned. Whether it was the appearance of the true spirit or an accident, she understood that Zhang Xiaofan had transformed into Ghost Li due to Baguio's death, and now he has returned to Zhang Xiaofan. The only thing that remains unchanged is that the protection of Baguio always exists.
She seemed to understand Zhang Xiaofan's mind, so she stopped.
Huang Xuan walked out from the wooden house because the bell rang.
He looked at the beautiful figure at the entrance of the village, his heart was filled with confusion, and he couldn't help but pursed his lips.
But the beautiful figure didn't move, and neither did he.
The two people just looked at each other from a distance, silent for a long time.
In the end, they just looked at each other and smiled.
In front of the monitor, Zhao Jian picked up the walkie-talkie: "Finished!!"
"Oh——" Su Chang, Zhao Liying and other young actors jumped and waved their arms, filled with joy.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, Zhao Jian, Huang Lei and the actors and teachers also laughed and fell into the festive atmosphere.
At this point, "Hope" and "Zhu Xian" are both finished.
