Chapter 187 Wei Yang and Blue Whale were robbed by capital investors
The ratings of "Hello, Old Time" are stronger than the previous two.
Wei Yang has always felt that "Hello, Old Time" in Zhenhua's trilogy is the one with the best quality and is also his personal favorite.
The first two parts were more or less hypocritical and sensational, such as Geng Geng and Yu Huai not seeing each other for several years, and there was another girl between Luo Zhi and Sheng Huainan.
"Hello, Old Time" does not have too many twists and turns, it is the warm and pure youth between the male and female protagonists, which is natural, warm and beautiful.
If the first two films are biased towards campus idol dramas, "Old Time" is more like a youth drama, in which love is just one of them, family, friendship, teacher-student relationship, regret, beauty... everyone can do it
Find your own shadow in it.
At the beginning, the main cast of "The Best of Us" had limited influence, and since it was the first film, it actually suffered a loss when it was aired.
As for the second film "Orange in Huainan", although it has Wei Yang's hype and Hu Ge's joining, the quality and subject matter of the script itself are limited, and the overall influence is actually slightly lower than the first film.
The third part has the influence of the first two parts, and also has Liu Shishi, a popular little girl, joining the team. The quality of the work and the audience of the subject matter are guaranteed, plus a more powerful and mature Blue Whale publicity team.
The first broadcast easily broke 1, and it was broadcast for most of the time, with the average ratings reaching 1.65. It ranked first in ratings for the same period for more than ten days, making it the most popular film and television work in October 2010.
Both are campus themes, and many people once again compared "Hello, Old Times" with this summer's hit "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower".
In fact, this comparison was made once last year, but the comparison at that time was "Twinkle Twinkle Star".
In terms of ratings, "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower" was even stronger at that time. If "My Love from the Star" hadn't exploded at the end of the year, it would have probably won the national satellite TV ratings championship.
But in terms of reputation and durability, "Twinkle Twinkle Star" beats the other one.
So far, the Douban score of "Twinkle Twinkle Star" has reached 8.0, which is an increase from before, while "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower" has dropped 0.2 points, from Douban 5.7 to 5.5.
According to incomplete statistics, "Twinkle Twinkle Star" has been broadcast for nearly two years now, and the number of reruns is almost twice that of "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower".
Of course, there is a saying that Hunan TV holds the copyright of "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower" and rarely sells it for takeout. It is understandable that the replay rate is low.
But in terms of online playback volume, especially the data six months and one year after its completion, "Twinkle Twinkle Star" has a crushing advantage.
Netizens are generally more impressed with the plot of "Twinkle Twinkle Star". Topics such as Liu Shishi's various crying scenes, crush on the ceiling, Zhang Wansen's snowing, etc. are brought up from time to time.
As for "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower", "My name is not Hei, my name is Chu Yuxun", which was the subject of ridicule by Metersbonwe and other ghosts.
It can be said that the main reason for the poor reviews of "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower" is definitely myself, but the foil of "Twinkle Twinkle Star" is also an issue that cannot be ignored.
And now, "Watching the Meteor Shower Together Again" coincides with "Hello, Old Time".
It is also a campus theme written by Wei Yang, also starring Liu Shishi, and it is also a one-sided massacre.
The Douban score of "Watching the Meteor Shower Again" was initially 5.2, which is considered a stable performance.
The Douban score of "Hello, Old Time" is 8.6. The reputation of both parties is not the same at all.
What's even more interesting is that after "Hello, Old Time" was released and became a hit, the Douban rating of "Watching the Meteor Shower Again" dropped rapidly, from 5.2 to 4.9.
You can imagine how upset the creators of the show were. What's even worse is that although the show received poor reviews last time, it still won the ratings.
But this time, the ratings may not even be beat.
"Watching the Meteor Shower Together Again" debuted at 2, and Tianhu got off to a good start, but the ratings did not improve in the following days, and even dropped.
In the end, the average ratings of this drama were 1.92, ranking first in the satellite TV ratings rankings.
As for "Hello, Old Time", if it continues this trend, it won't necessarily surpass the other one, but it will be almost the same.
Under the premise that the ratings are similar, word-of-mouth is all over the place, this is a so-called comparison.
"Watching the Meteor Shower Together Again" was a complete failure!
How should I put it, after this series has been disgraced for two consecutive years, Wei Yang feels that some people may have a few more inner demons.
Fortunately, he and Hunan Satellite TV are still in the honeymoon period. They have had two perfect cooperations before, and they even won the Golden Eagle TV Award. At most, some of the people in charge would feel unhappy, which would not affect the overall situation. Otherwise, Boss Wei would really consider finding other TV stations.
Thighs.
He was slapped in the face, twice!
If it were him, he would be impatient too...
…
In November, the finale of "Hello, Old Time" ended up with an average ratings of 1.88, and easily won the 2010 Shanghai TV Drama King. However, it unfortunately finished second in the national TV ratings with a slight disadvantage.
Wei Yang felt a little regretful.
In the past few years since his debut, his production statistics have been good, but only last year's "My Love from the Star" won the national satellite TV ratings championship.
I thought I could win again this time, but in the end, I just missed it and collapsed.
It can only be said that "Watching the Meteor Shower Together" has a relatively wider audience and has platform bonuses. In this aspect, Magic City TV is still inferior to Hunan TV.
But putting aside the obsession with winning, this drama was still very successful, and it also brought a perfect conclusion to the Zhenhua Trilogy.
"The Best of Us" has an average ratings of 1.5 and was the 2008 Magic TV ratings champion.
"Orange in Huainan" has an average ratings of 1.35, ranking second in the 2008 Magic City TV ratings.
"Hello, Old Time", with an average ratings of 1.88, was the 2010 ratings champion on Magic TV, and is most likely to be the runner-up in national satellite TV ratings for the year.
People on and off the show are in love with Wei Yang. These three dramas have greatly increased their exposure ratings and advertising effectiveness in the past three years.
It has therefore become one of the most stable cooperation platforms in Weiyang.
Under equal conditions, Blue Whale will give priority to Magic City, and vice versa, and the two parties are likely to consider jointly producing some projects in the future.
Wei Yang is not afraid of Xiang Province Platform, and Modu Platform is one of his greatest sources of confidence, but he does not want to be completely tied to the opponent.
Therefore, the two sides only cooperate in depth, unlike the dead girl who almost advanced and retreated with Hunan Province and Taiwan later. Although it has a stable backing and does not have to worry about publicity and exposure, it will also lose some freedom and initiative, and even become someone else's "subordinate"
company".
The popularity of "Hello, Old Time" has not only increased direct benefits to Blue Whale and stabilized the cooperation platform, but also greatly improved Blue Whale's own brand reputation.
Among the TV series produced by Blue Whale, "My Love from the Star" has achieved the most success.
But it is the Zhenhua Trilogy that has made the company truly famous and firmly built its name.
As I said before, the test of a mature film and television company is not its ability to produce hit movies, but its stability.
The Zhenhua trilogy is all above the standard, with excellent quality reputation and excellent results, and to a certain extent, each one is more popular than the other.
During this period, Blue Whale participated in the production of "This Is the First Time" and "My Love from the Star", which were also very good, and there was even a super hit.
A film and television company that occasionally releases a hit movie is just a short-lived flash in the pan and good luck.
A film and television company that can steadily output works but has few excellent works, although mature and stable, also means mediocrity and the upper limit is not high.
However, a film and television company that steadily outputs excellent works and produces hit movies from time to time is a typical company lurking in the abyss, with unlimited future.
It is no exaggeration to say that during this period, several capital companies have inquired about Blue Whale, wanting to raise funds, invest in shares, and acquire Balabala.
The more famous ones include LeTV and Alibaba!
LeTV has been interested in Blue Whale for more than a day or two. Boss Jia has always wanted LeTV to make its own blood. He is currently preparing for LeTV Pictures and has been wooing relevant stars and producers.
After the original time and space Lao Mouzi broke up with the new boss Zhang, he was taken under the leadership of boss Jia.
And now because of the successful cooperation with "My Love from the Star", Boss Jia has been coveting Wei Yang for a long time and has always wanted to win Wei Yang and even the entire Blue Whale.
In Boss Jia's expectation, Lao Mouzi allowed him to conquer cities and territories in movies, and Wei Yang allowed him to kill enemies in TV dramas.
He himself is sitting firmly in the army, building LeTV's closed-loop ecological chain, turning the ecology into a counterattack, and stifling his dreams together...
Jack Ma is similar. He has always had the idea of Alibaba's big entertainment strategy. He invested in Huayi very early and is currently the vice chairman of Huayi.
Although Alibaba Pictures has not been officially established yet, it is making some preliminary arrangements accordingly.
In terms of movies, Alibaba has Huayi, and it also has partners in the Hong Kong circle. In terms of TV series, it is indeed a weak point. Jack Ma of the Original Time and Space later acquired part of Rong Xinda's shares in an attempt to make up for this shortcoming.
Now that Wei Yang and Blue Whale are on the rise and have become upstart TV dramas in recent years, Alibaba is naturally very interested in them.
It is a pity that Wei Yang is not grateful for these financing acquisitions. After all, he is not short of money and has a stable cooperation platform. There is no need to find a boss to take charge of himself.
Besides, even if you look to the boss to find a backer, you still have to choose someone with a bright future.
There is a saying that if anyone comes from Penguin, Wei Yang may not agree, but he may consider it to some extent, but forget it about LeTV and Alibaba, each one is worse than the other.
Needless to say, LeTV collapsed immediately, and everyone in Alibaba Entertainment died. Most of the companies that were acquired by spending huge sums of money were number one in the industry at the time, and most of them were surpassed by their rivals a few years later.
The above-mentioned Rong Xinda, which was invested by Jack Ma, was already in decline. After the capital injection, it never made any noise, and it is not clear who is in the way of the other.
Boss Wei is determined to pay homage to his family, but the investors who value him are extremely unlucky, so unlucky...
However, it is not without good news. "Hello, Old Time" has also promoted the release of "East Palace" to a certain extent, and various TV stations have raised prices again on the original basis.
After a series of consultations and negotiations, Modu TV finally had the last laugh.
The success of "Hello, Old Time" made them decide to strike while the iron was hot, so they directly raised the price to 120 million, shocking the audience.
Therefore, the conditions of the other companies are not much different. With Modu TV’s sincerity and the relationship between the two parties, it is not difficult for Blue Whale to make a choice.
In mid-November, Blue Whale and Magic City TV jointly announced that the latter had won the first-round exclusive broadcast rights of "East Palace" for a sky-high price of 120 million, as the new year's drama in 2011.
As soon as the news came out, it shocked the industry and the onlookers!
