After all 20 episodes of the entire season of "Love Apartment" were aired, countless viewers sighed with disappointment. This is how a hilarious TV series came to an end.
On Monday, May 27, 2002, CSN once again announced the ratings data for CSN 60 cities.
The ratings of prime time TV series on May 24 (Friday-) are as follows.
NO.1: "Emperor Wu of Han" has a ratings of 4.697.
NO.2: "Love Apartment - The End" has a ratings of 3.063.
NO.3: "The Legend of Xue Rengui" has a ratings of 1.554.
As soon as the data came out, countless media were shocked and marveled.
The ratings of "Love Apartment" exceeded 3?!
Directly surpassing the third place "The Legend of Xue Rengui" in ratings by 1.5 points!
Oriental TV was laughing from ear to ear at this time: Fortunately, it invited "Love Apartment" in the first place, because during this period, the ratings of other programs on Pearl TV also increased slightly, and the TV station employees exaggerated the newly appointed TV station.
Chang Yingming Shenwu.
When Oriental TV paid for Wang Shang's first broadcast rights, it was very cheerful and even paid in advance.
At the celebration banquet, the new director pulled Wang Shang along without any restraint and kept praising Wang Shang cheerfully. He had no reason to be unhappy. He had fought against everyone's opinions to put "Love Apartment" on prime time, and now he was reaping the rewards.
It has received a lot of praise from within the Taiwanese community, and its status has become much more stable.
Looking at other TV series, the ratings of TV series such as "Emperor of Hanwu" have dropped significantly, and they have been overtaken by "Love Apartment".
"Is the spring of comedy really coming?!"
Many media turned to local TV stations with questions.
"Hip-Hop Quintet"...
They looked over one by one and were surprised to find that several comedies with debt-free, third party, and mother-in-law and daughter-in-law elements broadcast by six local TV stations had achieved good results. Compared with the TV series broadcast some time ago, the ratings were all the same.
increased.
But when they saw the ratings data of Hangzhou Satellite TV's "Fashionable Mom", their faces suddenly hurt.
"Fashionable Mom" had a ratings rating of 1.33 on Friday, which is atrocious!!
This has hit the bottom line of Hangzhou Satellite TV's lowest ratings in three years. Hangzhou Satellite TV's customer service quickly called the audience to consult, and the results they got were 'not good'!!
The person in charge of Hangzhou Satellite TV's Golden Theater column suddenly became distressed: "Why is "Love Apartment" OK but not my show? "Fashionable Mom" is also pretty good and has plenty of laughs, right?"
However, these deceptive ratings have scared Hangzhou Satellite TV away from showing "Fashionable Mom" on the prime time TV series, and hastily replaced it with another TV series.
Like Hangzhou Satellite TV, the media, experts, and film and television critics are also in pain at this time.
Why is "Love Apartment" okay? Why are those six local TV stations okay? Why is Hangzhou Satellite TV withering away?
But soon an analysis report by film and television critics answered their questions.
The analysis report focuses on three points...
First, the success of local TV stations is not representative because they are only local TV stations and only cover the provinces.
Second, when Hangzhou Satellite TV broadcast "Fashionable Mom", the publicity work was not done well and it was broadcast in a hurry. As a result, "Fashionable Mom" was not well-known.
Third, and most importantly, the lines in "Love Apartment" are down-to-earth and can be deeply rooted in people's hearts. Can you come up with a trick for making instant noodles? Can you come up with 'If you are casual, you are not a human being'? Can you come up with'
How can I not be stabbed in the rivers and lakes all the time?
Not every TV series can make the audience relax! Not every line can make people laugh! Not everyone can have Wang Shang’s monster-like creativity!
Every sentence makes sense and every sentence touches your heart!
As soon as this analysis came out, Hangzhou Satellite TV burst into tears and ran away!!
"Why didn't the report come out earlier? Isn't this a trick to trick people? And that monster Wang Shang is even more tricking, always digging holes for people to jump into! Hangzhou Satellite TV has become a negative example!"
…
Many TV stations were in chaos, and online video stations also approached Wang Shang, hoping to win the online copyright of "Love Apartment".
The total sales of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" were set at 1.58 billion on April 24, ranking second in total sales in history!
Since "Bu Bu Jing Xin" was released on Tudou.com on February 25, although its sales are not as hot as "The Legend of Zhen Huan", its sales are still rapid.
"Love Apartment" is Wang Shang's third work. This may be another gold mine after "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "Step by Step Jingxin".
So these video websites are eager to get their hands on it!
Soon Wang Shang signed an agreement with Tudou.com, which offered a higher price, and planned to officially log on to the online video site on June 1.
…
On June 1st, Wang Shang's Tianwang Film and Television Production Studio was officially opened with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Nearly fifty media reporters came that day.
During this period, Wang Shangke could be said to have dominated the limelight. He established a studio with a total registered capital of 30 million at a young age. Although his future was unknown, he was still unavoidable from being praised by the media.
Wang Shang stood in the center of the ribbon-cutting ceremony, accepting questions from many reporters. Looking at the reporters, employees, and invited industry peers below, Wang Shang felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
"My career has finally taken off, and it will be a solid foundation for me to reach the top of the world's directors in the future."
Wang Shang also struggled with whether to open a company for a long time. Firstly, he did not understand management, and secondly, starting a company would distract him.
But then Wang Shang suddenly thought that investment in famous movies in the past time and space would cost hundreds of millions of dollars. "Inception" invested US$200 million, "Spider-Man 3" invested US$250 million, and "Transformers 3" invested US$260 million.
, the investment in "Avatar" reached US$500 million!!
If you don't make some money yourself, where will you get the money to shoot? Should you find an investor? Do you have to accept all kinds of restrictions and difficulties from the investor? In the end, the investor will share countless profits?
Wang Shang will never allow this to happen. He will make his own movie and make everyone else’s money. This is the most satisfying thing!!
As for not being able to manage, you can completely open a company and be a hands-off shopkeeper, leaving the management to the people below, and you can control the investment goals and future strategies by yourself.
Think about your own company with tens of billions of assets. If you want to make a movie, the company's stars and funds will be tilted towards you. You don't have to look for investment everywhere anymore. How great!
Thus, Tianwang Film and Television Studio was born.
After the ribbon-cutting, it was soon time to answer questions from reporters.
The reporters had been looking forward to it for a long time and came immediately.
"I wonder what Mr. Wang's first goal is after becoming a studio? Is it "Love Apartment 2"?"
Wang Shang replied without hesitation: "The studio's current plan is to make a feature-length movie, not a TV series."
The reporter was shocked: "Movie? What movie? Can you reveal specific information?"
Wang Shang thought about "The Girls We Chased Together in Those Years" and replied: "This is a movie about youth, sour, sweet, and unforgettable."
"Movies about youth?" The reporters whispered among themselves, curious. "Movies in this area seem to be relatively unpopular now. I wonder why Mr. Wang would make such movies?"
"Although there are relatively few movies of this type, it does not mean that its audience is small. There are too many movies following the trend now. I want to open up new markets. I am confident!!" Wang Shang was ambitious and his eyes were bright and piercing.
"I wonder how much investment is planned for this movie?"
Wang Shang pondered for a moment and replied: "Because this is not a big commercial production, I currently plan to invest 15 million yuan. Everyone is welcome to invest!"
"I wonder if Mr. Wang has any plans to continue filming the second season of "Love Apartment" now?" This is a question that many media are curious about, and it is also the voice of countless viewers.
"The script for the second season of "Love Apartment" has been handed over to Datang International. Please contact Datang International for specific shooting plans."
After receiving the answer, the reporter began to turn to other questions, and Wang Shang answered them one by one.
Then Bi Han, the general manager of the studio, came on the stage to introduce himself and look forward to the future. Then the stars contracted within the studio appeared, including the protagonists of "Love Apartment" and the school beauty Shen Yao in "Old Boy".
