In the small villa, advertisements began to play on the LCD TV, and the second episode of "Struggle" had finished.
Chu Xuan stood up from the sofa, leaned over and took an orange from the coffee table, sat back on the sofa, peeled it, broke off a piece of orange flesh and stuffed it into his mouth, saying: "With this opening, there will definitely be another one on the Internet.
There was a targeted discussion.”
Liu Yifei sat with her legs curled up, turned her head and glanced at the oranges in Chu Xuan's hand, opened her mouth at Chu Xuan, and raised her eyebrows, signaling to Chu Xuan that she wanted to eat the oranges too.
Chu Xuan broke open a piece of orange meat and fed it into her mouth. The sour taste in the orange meat made her squint her eyes: "Read it and check it out online."
Liu Xiaoli was lying sideways on the other end of the sofa, with her right elbow propped up on the sofa and her fists pressed against her temples. She looked at the TV with interest: "This is an interesting start. The male and female protagonists are together in the second episode.
Idol dramas in the past would not be shot like this."
Chu Xuan broke open another piece of orange meat and fed it to Liu Yifei. Liu Yifei took the orange meat into her mouth and turned her head to look at her mother: "When Chu Xuan and I got the script, we felt that this script was a little bit different compared to the current market.
Going against the grain, it was very interesting, so I took the role."
Liu Xiaoli nodded: "It's very fresh. I guess no one could have guessed that "Struggle" would have such an opening."
When the two children were filming "Struggle" last year, she was not with them because they were in the capital and had nothing to worry about.
She had no idea what kind of story "Struggle" was.
She originally thought it would be similar to some idol dramas on the market, but after watching two episodes, she realized the difference of "Struggle", which made her interested in following the drama.
People her age are interested, so the response to the premiere of "Struggle" should be very good, right?
Chu Xuan ate the last piece of orange flesh and threw the orange peel into the trash can: "Idol dramas in the past were about emotional pulling and pulling until the finale, but "Struggle" doesn't do this. I like you, you
If you like me, the two of you can just be together and don't engage in all the nonsense."
"Previous idol dramas always had villains who prevented the male and female protagonists from getting together, but "Struggle" has no villains throughout the whole process. In other words, "Struggle" is not about an exaggerated story designed to make the audience feel comfortable seeing the male and female protagonists slap each other in the face."
"The theme it revolves around is the life of the male and female protagonists, and it transfers the villain elements in previous idol dramas to the difficulties and trials encountered in life."
"Although "Struggle" has some outrageous and exaggerated plots, overall it has realistic reference significance and can satisfy the fantasies of today's young people."
"Really?" Liu Xiaoli showed her face and said, "Then I want to give it a try. From what you said, this drama is very different."
After hearing Chu Xuan's general explanation of "Struggle", Liu Xiaoli became more interested in this drama.
But when the third episode was aired, Liu Xiaoli was a little speechless after seeing the plot of this episode.
"This plot... is either kissing or on the way to kiss," she complained.
Liu Yifei and Chu Xuan looked at each other and held back their laughter.
In order to show the passionate love between Lu Tao and Xia Lin, she and Chu Xuan filmed many kissing scenes.
In the park, under the big tree, in the cafeteria, in the rental house... there are scenes of them kissing in every scene, and this episode is designed to reflect the passionate state of love among young people.
Liu Yifei watched the TV, stretched her curled legs, and sat cross-legged again: "Other urban idol dramas have very subtle emotional lines, which reflects a kind of aesthetic feeling."
"But young people's love is generally not subtle. Although there are definitely couples who express their love in a subtle way, most young people express their love in a very direct way."
"I miss you just because I miss you, and I just love you when I love you. Today's young people don't like to gossip."
"This is also the difference between "Struggle" and similar dramas. It is also one of the core elements designed by Teacher Shi Kang based on the current situation of young people."
Liu Xiaoli nodded, what her daughter said was indeed the case.
No, isn't that what the two guys next to her are like? They never care about the occasion, and they don't care about other people's opinions. Their personalities are particularly obvious.
However, understanding is understanding, but the scene on the TV was seen by her, and she couldn't help but said "tsk, tsk": "I just jumped over and pounced on Lu Tao and started to chew it, tsk tsk tsk, tsk tsk tsk, this Xia Lin is so shameless."
"
Chu Xuan was startled.
Liu Yifei paused.
The two looked at each other, and Chu Xuan couldn't help but laugh.
Liu Yifei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, then she pretended to be angry and looked at her mother with bulging eyes.
Liu Xiaoli glanced at her sideways: "I was talking about Xia Lin, not you."
Liu Yifei wrinkled her pretty nose, wasn’t I the one who played Charlene?
Seeing the joking look in her mother's eyes, she knew that her mother was teasing her on purpose. She couldn't help but snorted, took the pillow on the sofa and stuffed it into her arms, making a pitiful look of being hurt.
What makes Chu Xuan interesting is that when Liu Xiaoli saw various scenes of him and Liu Yifei kissing in the drama, there was no negative attitude on her face.
If this situation had happened before "Sword and Fairy", Liu Xiaoli would have torn him into pieces if he couldn't protect him.
But now Liu Xiaoli has become accustomed to it. After living together in the villa for a year and spending time together day and night, she has long been immune to his and Liu Yifei's intimate actions.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, the three-episode broadcast of "Struggle" ended.
Liu Yifei excitedly brought her laptop and put it on the coffee table. Chu Xuan and Liu Xiaoli each approached from one side to look at it.
[Liu Yifei’s interview didn’t lie to me! It’s really a sweet drama! 】
【It’s so sweet! It’s so delicious!】
[These episodes are so in line with my wishes, I must like @"Struggle" official WeChat account.]
[Appearance in the first episode, confession in the second episode, and living together in the third episode. Is there any drama where the relationship progresses faster than this one? I like it so much!]
[Is this how idol dramas should be filmed? Why insist on making some stumbling blocks? The male protagonist is tired, the heroine is tired, and we the audience are tired too. It would be great to watch "Struggle" like this. The male protagonist is comfortable, and the female protagonist is tired.
It’s comfortable, and we, the audience, are also comfortable watching it. Who is the screenwriter? Well done!]
[By the way, what about the person who said that the male and female protagonists only eat the keyboard when they are together at the beginning? 】
[Sorry, I meant they were eating the keyboard together in the first episode. Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were together in the second episode. This shows that Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei didn’t want to see me eating the keyboard either, smile.jgp.]
【……】
Seeing these comments, the whole family felt happy.
The anti-routine start of "Struggle" made the audience feel fresh and at the same time, they also expressed their own opinions.
[Brothers and sisters! Wake up! Think of "Sword of Immortality", think of "The Condor", how wonderful the beginning is, but how cruel it will be in the end. Beware of fire, theft, and the traps Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei have set for us, dear!】
[Shut your crow mouth!]
【I think it is unlikely.】
[I also think it’s impossible. In the three episodes broadcast today, the characters of Lu Tao and Xia Lin have been shaped. They fall in love at first sight and decisively get rid of their pursuers who have been chasing them for several years. With such flamboyant personalities, I
I think there is no obstacle that can stop Lu Tao and Xia Lin from being together.】
[Yes, this is also my point of view. Lu Tao and Xia Lin have such personalities. They confess their love when they disagree, and live together when they disagree. With such personalities and ideas, the only ones who can defeat them are themselves. If they are forced to follow up
If a twist in the plot is used to create abuse, then today’s unique opening plot will collapse, and so will the sense of character.]
[That’s great, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei finally have a drama that is sweet from beginning to end!]
[Yes, I finally stopped torturing it. I still want to watch it, but I have to wait until tomorrow. It’s so hard to wait.]
"As I guessed, the response was good." Liu Xiaoli got up from the sofa, stretched her arms and exercised.
Another work of the two children has been released, and it seems to have a good reputation so far. As a mother, she is also happy for them.
"From the beginning to the end, the audience still likes to see beautiful things." Chu Xuan said.
""Struggle"..." Liu Yifei looked at the comments and recalled the plot: "Although the emotional process was bumpy, overall it was really sweet from beginning to end."
Suddenly, a sly look appeared in her eyes: "Chu Xuan, you said that the audience saw our "Struggle" as a sweet drama, but what will they think when they see the cruelty of "Nirvana in Fire" in the future?"
Liu Xiaoli's body froze as she twisted to stretch, then shook her head and said, "You are playing with the emotions of the audience."
Chu Xuan stood up and couldn't help laughing: "As actors, we can mobilize different emotions in the audience through different works we perform. This not only brings different perceptions to the audience, but also shows that our works are good works."
Liu Yifei smiled slightly, her thoughts in this regard were consistent with Chu Xuan's.
The audience has watched their two sadistic dramas in a row, and now at first glance at their sweet drama, the freshness brought by the different senses has made the audience even more interested.
If this is the case, then if you play a sweet drama this time and a sadistic drama next time, switch it up so that the audience will always have a different feeling by watching their drama. This is also a way to make the audience like them more in TV dramas.
development route.
She closed the computer, and just as Chu Xuan's cell phone next to the computer rang, she lowered her eyebrows and glanced, it was Sister Hua calling.
"Sister." Chu Xuan took the phone and connected.
"I understand." I don't know what good news Wang Jinhua said, but a happy smile appeared on Chu Xuan's face.
Facing the curious looks cast by the mother and daughter, Chu Xuan stretched out a finger: "Mango Channel, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Channel, and Shancheng Channel all received 10 points for the first broadcast, ranking first in the same time period."
"Wow." Liu Xiaoli smiled: "Following "The Condor", this is another work that has the potential to be a hit at the beginning."
Last year, "The Condor" started with 13 points, and this year, "Struggle" started with 10 points.
There has been a year-on-year decrease, but as the TV drama market expands year by year, and viewers have more choices, it is normal for the highest ratings to decline year by year.
Moreover, "The Condor" had the blessing of the original national election, and even if "Struggle" had three simulcasts, it could not match the grand occasion of the original.
Now that the premiere can achieve an average revenue of 10 points, this is already very successful.
"Go home and sleep." Mr. Ouyang Yang of Mango Channel walked out of the data center, satisfied with the results of the premiere of "Struggle".
"Struggle" has such a good start, and the quality of the follow-up is not bad either. There is a high chance that this drama will be stable.
"Struggle" is stable, and the expected ratings of "Zhu Xian" are also more stable.
"It should definitely be the number one drama in the ratings this year." The director of Shancheng TV looked at the data report and said with emotion: "The appeal of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei is really strong. In terms of TV dramas, no one in the country can compare with them.
Come on."
In the first broadcast stage of a TV series, if you want to get high ratings, in addition to pre-announcement and warm-up, it all depends on the appeal of the actors.
He could imagine that many viewers came to watch Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei during tonight's premiere.
What he expected was right, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei also gave him a surprise. Compared with last year's "The Condor", the appeal of these two people is still as strong.
"It's a pity. It would be great if such a result belonged to our Jiangsu and Zhejiang stations." The director of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang stations said it was a pity.
Such high ratings meant high advertising profits, but two-thirds of the advertising profits were diverted away, which made him feel distressed and helpless.
However, after "The Condor", Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei once again proved their appeal in terms of ratings, which made the TV station director pay the highest level of attention and attention to their future dramas.
At the same time, the major TV stations' attention to popular actors has been raised to a higher level in their hearts.
"Look, this is the effect of letting Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei be the male and female protagonists." Shi Kang smiled brightly and sat opposite Zhao Baogang at the tea table. He was making tea with a teapot.
"Okay, okay, you have good taste." Zhao Baogang shook his head and smiled. When Shi Kang restrained him with the requirement that the male and female protagonists must be Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, he felt a headache at first. After all, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were already very popular at that time.
Well, not to mention the high salary, whether people are willing to act in urban dramas is still a question.
But once they got in touch, they didn't expect that Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were two young actors who didn't follow the routine. They didn't go to familiar costume dramas to strengthen their popularity, but they were willing to transform themselves and act in niche cities that didn't account for a high market share.
drama, and finally achieved this achievement today.
He knew in his heart that without Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, the ratings for the premiere of "Struggle" might have been good, but they would never have been so high. It was considered a record-breaker among urban dramas.
"If the ratings keep up, it will be Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei who have made "Struggle" possible." He took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and made a predictive conclusion that he fully approved of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei.
Shi Kang nodded, agreeing very much.
They had just watched the comments on the Internet, and they did not expect that not long after tonight's three episodes were aired, Weibo's hot searches and front-page news would be pushed up by enthusiastic viewers.
The highlight that attracted the audience was nothing more than the counter-routine start of "Struggle" that did not follow market rules.
The hot topic at this opening is quite similar to the hot discussion among the people when Mango Channel introduced the new idol drama format "Meteor Garden" from Baodao.
This is the time to explode.
"Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei..." Wang Zhonglei sat on the sofa in the office, shook the red wine glass in his hand, picked up the glass and took a sip of the wine.
"Why..." Wang Zhongjun sat next to him with his legs crossed and a wine glass in his hand: "You also want to create a couple of celebrities and imitate their two paths?"
"I definitely think that if we use this kind of popularity properly, we can bring in income comparable to one or two movies every year." Wang Zhonglei smiled and put the wine glass on the coffee table: "But I also know that this is difficult to do.
It's just a matter of time. If you create a fake couple and there's a thunderstorm one day, it will be in vain. You have to create a real couple..."
He paused and complained: "How can there be innocent artists like Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei in this circle?"
He leaned back on the sofa: "Wang Jinhua is watching, Liu Xiaoli is watching, and Chu Xuan himself is the boss and has no shortage of resources. All kinds of factors have made Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei a perfect couple, and the audience is very relieved.
There is no way to imitate the relationship between a couple, they are two different kinds."
Wang Zhonglei bent down and picked up the wine glass on the coffee table, and slowly leaned on the back of the sofa: "I don't look down on the older generation of artists in the Brilliant Era. As the market develops, their market will become smaller and smaller. This is
It can be predicted.”
He looked at Wang Zhongjun: "But Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are different. The core of artists in the Brilliant Era is these two people."
Wang Zhongjun nodded: "With the premiere of "Struggle" today, Huang Xuan, Zhao Liying, Jiang Xin, Chen He and Su Chang, who is already on the front line, are likely to become popular or even more popular."
"We at Huayi invest in TV dramas, but without in-depth development, there is not much room to compete with Bright Times in terms of TV dramas."
"But if Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei are the core, Brilliant Era will enter the film industry according to the model of "Struggle", and bring batch after batch of new people into the film industry, and let them stand out and be seen by the market."
Wang Zhongjun paused and took a sip of wine: "Then our development space will be compressed."
Wang Zhonglei breathed out and nodded slowly: "I only know that the Brilliant Era is going to engage in science fiction, but it has not shown any external actions. We can also find ways to prevent it..."
As he said this, he looked stunned, as if he had thought of something: "Brother, Brilliant Era is going to make science fiction, and science fiction is an unknown genre. Although the micro-movie "Hope" has gained a certain popularity due to Brilliant Era, no one knows it.
I dare say there will definitely be a market for it when the complete film is released."
"Our "King of Kung Fu" has stars as a guarantee of box office appeal, and we cooperated with Hollywood for the overseas box office and opening up of overseas markets. The domestic market is dispensable to us, that's all.
If the script allows a foreigner to run through the main line of the story, the film will not be as good in China."
Wang Zhonglei crossed his legs, tilted his head and made a suggestion to Wang Zhongjun: "Anyway, we don't care about the domestic box office. We might as well wait for the science fiction of the Brilliant Era. If the time is right, then put "Kung Fu King" in the same category as the science fiction of the Brilliant Era.
Schedule."
"It doesn't matter whether they win or lose. No matter how good their sci-fi response is, our "The King of Kung Fu" will divert their box office in the same period, either making them less money or making them lose more money."
Wang Zhongjun glanced at Wang Zhonglei for a few times, then smiled after a while: "You are really a loser."
Wang Zhonglei paused, picked up the wine glass and touched it with his elder brother.
Perhaps, when Bright Era enters the film industry soon, it will receive a "meeting gift".
