Chapter 373: Controversy arises and high energy begins
After the first week of "Want to See You" aired, it instantly became the most discussed new drama in December.
Currently, it has a high score of 9.3 on the Penguin Video site, and the first-ever score of the movie review software has also exceeded 9.
This score actually far exceeded the expectations of He Jing and others. After all, before the plot had officially developed in the early stage, everyone was already prepared to accept a less high score.
In the first week after the premiere of "Want to See You", many film review bloggers gave high evaluations, and the video uploaded by You Yunfei was the most outstanding among them.
Less than 24 hours after its release, the number of views has exceeded one million.
Jiang Yuan was also attracted to click on this explanation video because he saw that the title of the video stated that he had to make certain guesses about the future plot.
In the video, You Yunfei appears, and after the opening remarks, he gets to the point.
"Unconsciously, we have arrived at the last month of this year, and the weather has gradually become colder. However, a new drama has become particularly popular recently. Within a few days of its release, it has aroused heated discussions on major social platforms."
"I believe you all know which drama I am talking about. It is the annual fantasy love drama "Want to See You" promoted by Penguin TV this season."
"Listen to the title of the play, and then look at the cast. He Jing and Jiang Yuan are collaborating again, with Jiang Yuan and Wang Xicun starring. With this cast, this appearance, including the previous stage promotions, I have been looking forward to this play.
"Long time." You Yunfei talked to the camera.
The compliment made Jiang Yuan feel a little comfortable.
After the preface ended, You Yunfei did not continue to comment, but began to review the plot that had been broadcast.
From the relationship between each character to the small details hidden in the plot, everything is revealed, and everything is explained clearly.
Jiang Yuan looked at it and nodded subconsciously.
Not to mention anything else, at least this short analysis is enough to make many viewers who have not understood the plot understand the drama. It is no wonder that this video has received such a high number of views in a short period of time.
After helping the audience clarify the plot line, You Yunfei also used his imagination to make some guesses about the subsequent plot.
Although I didn't guess any of them, I have to say that after the plot line is clear, some of You Yunfei's guesses are indeed inexplicably convincing.
After the speculation, we come to the end of the video, which is a review of the current broadcast content.
"I believe that after reading the commentary, it will not be difficult for everyone to find that "Want to See You" is a very high-quality film so far."
"From the production, to the actors' performances, to the small details everywhere, you can hardly find any big flaws. The only shortcoming may be that there is too much foreshadowing and the pace is a bit slow, which makes some viewers not understand."
"But it is these foreshadowings and details that make me more confident in the show's later development, and I am extremely looking forward to its subsequent development."
You Yunfei's comments are relatively restrained and pertinent.
This is the end of the first video, and Jiang Yuan silently clicked the like button and exited the video.
There are many narrations and film reviews like You Yunfei's. During the few days when "Want to See You" was not updated, it successfully attracted a lot of viewers and added fuel to the popularity of "Want to See You".
While fans of the drama are waiting for the update, the entire cast of "Want to Meet You" is not idle either. The official blog is updating various promotional materials and tidbits every day, and Jiang Yuan, Wang Xicun and others often interact on social platforms.
The playback volume of "Want to See You" has also been rising, reaching 600 million before the new episode was updated.
Wang Sheng looked at the celebration poster for "Want to See You" with a bitter look on his face.
How should I put it? Although the new film directed by Wang Sheng has successfully restored a lot of reputation, the key problem is that it has not become popular.
It was aired more than a week earlier than "Want to Meet You", but the number of views was more than doubled, and even the reputation has not been compared.
This also made Wang Sheng feel a knot in his heart that he could not swallow.
It didn't matter that he was defeated by Jiang Yuan last time. This time he fell behind in the competition with the same theme, which made Wang Sheng make a decision.
He wants to watch "Want to See You" carefully to see where he failed.
When Wang Sheng started to seriously follow dramas, the fairy tale idol drama "Eternal Falling Moon" was also on the hot search list, and a drama calendar was released, which will release six episodes at once on the Friday of the second week of December.
It is the flagship series of the platform next door.
It is also one of the favorable competitors of "Want to See You".
The creators of "Eternal Falling Moon" are also promoting together at this time. The lead actor Zhang Xinghai is one of the niche actors who has become popular through ancient puppet dramas in recent years, and has a large number of fans.
This publicity campaign is also very large.
But at this time, before the press conference of "Eternal Falling Moon" began, Zhang Xinghai was browsing the relevant information of "Want to See You" and still expressed his concerns to the director, "Director, can our "Eternal Falling Moon" beat "Eternal Falling Moon"?
Want to see you?"
Zhang Xinghai’s concerns are also relatively objective.
First of all, the audience market is only so large. Even if the popularity of a drama can increase the market share, the popularity will basically fall on the drama that became a hit.
At the same time, although "Eternal Falling Moon" is disguised as a fairy tale drama, it is actually about falling in love in the context of a fairy tale drama.
So from a certain perspective, the audience groups of these two dramas actually overlap to a certain extent.
Director Zhou Bin heard Zhang Xinghai's words and frowned subconsciously. Although he also had this concern, saying such words before the press conference would be too depressing.
So Zhou Bin patted Zhang Xinghai on the shoulder, "Our drama has a huge market, and the original work is very popular, so it has a certain audience base."
"Besides, I have also watched the drama "Want to See You". The pace is too slow and not sweet at all. Our show is fast-paced, sadistic and sweet. Once it is aired, "Want to See You" will not be worth mentioning."
It seemed that Zhou Bin's comfort had an effect. Zhang Xinghai regained his confidence and attended the press conference in full condition.
However, during the reporter's question session at the follow-up press conference, when he was asked whether there would be pressure to work with "Want to See You" next, Zhang Xinghai recalled Zhou Bin's teachings and blurted out four words, "It's not worth mentioning.
"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As soon as these words came out, Zhou Bin's face turned dark, and the reporter laughed.
After the press conference, there were also hot searches.
The next day was the day when "Eternal Falling Moon" was launched and "Want to See You" was updated, and the topic became controversial immediately.
【What kind of beast is Zhang Xinghai?】
【Blind confidence belike.】
[You are so crazy before the show even airs. Where do you get the confidence? 】
[Young fans of scumbags are here to go crazy. To be honest, I can’t even understand "Want to See You" after a few episodes. I’m still looking forward to "Eternal Falling Moon".]
[If you don’t understand, I suggest you supplement your brain. My brother makes terrible movies. If you like watching them so much, you should watch more.]
[Don’t give them any attention, we’ll find out when it airs tomorrow.]
Under the topic, fans of both sides of the drama have already begun to quarrel.
After the press conference, Zhou Bin was angry for a while, but after seeing the discussion on related topics, he thought a lot more.
After Zhang Xinghai said those words, only Zhang Xinghai was scolded, but after the controversy emerged, the attention of both dramas increased.
Zhou Bin has roughly watched the drama "Want to Meet You", although he admits that the latest five and six episodes are indeed interesting.
But the suspenseful part is just to throw out the suspense for the time being.
In his early days, Zhou Bin would occasionally use this technique to appear mysterious.
So now he is betting that "Want to Meet You" will hit the market with its updated plot tomorrow. By then, he will buy a few hot searches and he will be able to gain the upper hand.
Thinking of this, Zhou Bin is actually looking forward to the update and collision of the two dramas tomorrow.
On the other hand, Wang Sheng is also looking forward to tomorrow's update of "Want to See You".
After just a cursory look at it before, Wang Sheng's senses felt that it was just ordinary.
But now that he has watched six episodes in a row, he feels that the rhythm of the film is really good, and the plot also makes him feel very excited.
He likes Jiang Yuan and Wang Xicun very much for their looks and acting skills, as well as their soundtracks.
The only shortcoming that Wang Sheng came up with in the end was probably that the film was not made by him.
This put Wang Sheng into a dilemma. Although he did everything he could in marketing, he had also disliked Jiang Yuan before.
A considerable part of the reason is that "The Temptation of Going Home" is indeed not his favorite subject.
But this time, he really liked "Want to See You".
After watching the drama, Wang Sheng also saw the controversy caused by the press conference of "Eternal Falling Moon" which was trending on searches.
After seeing Zhang Xinghai's speech, Wang Sheng gasped subconsciously, "Another idiot like Meng Ziyang!"
Wang Sheng summarized the reasons for the last drama’s failure and felt that a considerable part of the blame fell on Meng Ziyang.
It never occurred to me that I had fired the gun first.
But now after seeing the controversy caused by "Eternal Falling Moon", Wang Sheng rolled his eyes and suddenly thought of a new route to gain popularity.
"Want to See You" cannot be beaten, but now "Eternal Falling Moon" seems to be a good target.
Just as he was told, Wang Sheng directly picked up the keyboard and started typing. Anyway, he was also known as Wang Dapao in the circle.
Even if he goes crazy, he has no scruples at all.
A few minutes later, Wang Sheng expressed his views on related topics.
[Wang Sheng: I don’t know how Zhang Xinghai said such an arrogant sentence. "Want to See You", so far, I think it is the best romance film of the year, not only the actors' acting skills, but also Jiang Yuan's script
, and the soundtrack are both perfect. I am very much looking forward to the update of "Want to See You" tomorrow.]
Wang Sheng decisively changed his route.
When many people saw Wang Sheng's Weibo post, they couldn't help but enter a few question marks in the comment area.
Some people even asked Wang Sheng if his account had been hacked. Wang Sheng specifically replied to this post, saying that his account had not been hacked.
After it was confirmed that the remarks were made by me, everyone immediately became happy.
[Hahahaha, I even looked at the ID twice.]
【Wang Sheng, it’s really you!】
[Fuck! It’s really too crazy. Isn’t Wang Sheng cheating? 】
【What kind of confusing behavior? This is so delicious?】
[6, liter, you know how to take advantage of the heat! 】
[laughing to death, is this the moment you become a fan? 】
[Sheng's way back and forth]
[I don’t know why, but I just want to laugh when I look at it.]
[Hahahahaha, I laughed so hard, Sheng knows how to take sides.]
"What is Wang Sheng doing?" Zhou Bin and He Jing asked the same question at similar times and in different places.
Zhou Bin really couldn't figure it out. He didn't seem to have offended Wang Sheng, right? Why did he suddenly start to go crazy with himself?
"Not sure." Jiang Yuan looked at the phone, shook his head, and responded to He Jing's question.
"It's really confusing. But there doesn't seem to be anything we need to do, right?" He Jing thought for a while and said.
I was sitting at home and didn't buy a hot search, but suddenly two topics came to my door.
In He Jing's view, the content released this week is actually when "Want to See You" really starts to show its strength.
The drama has received such a high degree of discussion at once. After this week's content is released, the popularity will surely climb to another level.
"Just wait until it is broadcast tomorrow." Jiang Yuan also shook his head and put down his phone.
The two of them were currently staying in Jiang Yuan's studio of Xingyuan Entertainment.
"I have read the movie script and I think it is very feasible. When will we start preparations?" He Jing asked excitedly after putting down his phone.
Long before "Want to See You" was aired, Jiang Yuan sent the complete movie script to He Jing.
He Jing just finished reading the script completely two days ago, and he couldn't wait to go to Jiang Yuan Studio to discuss it today.
"I haven't decided on my itinerary for next year, but it should be as soon as possible, or I can just put it aside for a while." Jiang Yuan thought for a while and said.
"How can you let this go?"
"Look at this movie, its genre is similar to "Want to See You". We will wait until "Want to See You" is over to make an official announcement about the project. It will be filmed in the first half of the year and will be released within next year. It will definitely be very popular," He Jing analyzed.
"Yes, let's start preparations now." Jiang Yuan rubbed his eyebrows, feeling that there was still not enough time.
"Okay, then I'll discuss it with everyone and get ready." He Jing was really a little excited after not filming a movie for a long time.
After watching He Jing leave his studio, Jiang Yuan picked up his mobile phone and browsed around on the Yuan Universe app.
The next day was the update time for "Want to Meet You". Jiang Yuan also had a little interaction with fans and reminded them not to forget to catch up on the show on time the next day.
Other than that, I don’t pay much attention to the controversy on the Internet.
After all, one week after "Want to See You" was aired, momentum has already picked up.
And Jiang Yuan and others are very confident about the content to be updated this week.
Just like that, the second Friday of December has arrived.
Under Zhou Bin's deliberate hype, the controversy from the previous day still continued.
It lasted until the new drama was released and "Want to See You" was updated.
In the second week of broadcast, "Want to See You" has also been updated with two episodes at once, and the plot will also make more progress.
As soon as it was updated, many viewers clicked to play the latest episode.
Some film review bloggers and marketing accounts are also extremely concerned, in addition to paying attention to the follow-up of "Want to See You".
At the same time, I am also paying attention to the duel between the two films "Want to See You" and "Eternal Moon". It is natural to take advantage of the topic and popularity.
