Another week passed, Zhang Tan came to Pujiang Film Studio, and when he was taking the elevator, he met Wang Yifan. The guy gave him a cold glance, turning a blind eye, let alone saying hello.
Zhang Tan simply rolled his eyes and ignored him.
Today is Monday, the regular weekly department meeting, and Zhang Tan will attend on behalf of the "Little Actor" crew.
He went to the office first and met Jiang Rong here.
Now, only Jiang Rong is left in this office, and Zhang Tan and Luo Ming are both working with the team.
The two chatted for a while, and Zhang Tan left, went to the conference room, and found a seat at the bottom to sit down.
Although there was no seat sign, Zhang Tan was very conscious and did not choose a seat near the front. The newcomers should keep a low profile and live longer.
Gao Xiaolan also arrived and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be able to write songs. I believe which master wrote those two songs."
You didn't expect much, I am a treasure boy, Zhang Tan thought to himself, and said a few words of humility on the surface.
Zhu Ruopu and He Miao were the last two to enter the venue. Just like last time, Zhu Ruopu first listened to the progress of various projects, then took out his mobile phone, called up the data, and began to announce the broadcast status of the latest episode of the TV series.
Let’s start with “Chief Kim” first.
Last week, the first episode, "Chief Kim" had a good start, with 3.5 million views, ranking ninth among TV dramas on the Internet in terms of single-day views.
Everyone is full of confidence in the second episode. There is a guest appearance by male star Yu Cong. I believe that the number of views can reach a higher level and exceed 4 million, but...
"On our own video website, the second episode was viewed 800,000 times, ranking fourth in single-day views," Zhu Ruopu said.
For the first episode, on the studio's own video website, the number was 1 million, ranking third. In the second episode, it did not increase but decreased, which is paradoxical.
This is not over yet.
"Calculating the playback volume on the other two platforms, the total is 2.5 million, ranking 20th in the industry."
There was an uproar in the conference room.
This data dropped a bit.
Zhu Ruopu looked serious and said: "We must analyze the reasons carefully, find the crux, and correct them in time."
Wang Yifan's face didn't look good either and he nodded in agreement, but he thought it was an accident and it was normal for the data to fluctuate. He believed that there would be a rebound in the third episode.
Zhang Tan thought to himself, no wonder this guy had a sullen face in the elevator, as if he owed him money. It turned out that the playback volume had dropped.
For practitioners, losing data like crazy is like losing your pants in public.
Zhu Ruopu's voice rang in his ears.
"The playback volume of the second episode of "Little Actor" has greatly improved, reaching 500,000 views, ranking 6th in the company..."
He Miao took the lead in applauding, and others followed suit.
The applause was not very enthusiastic, but it was better than nothing. Especially when I saw Wang Yifan's dark face, I had to applaud along with him. In Zhang Tan's ears, it sounded like thunder, very loud.
Zhu Ruopu said: "There are several reasons why "Little Opera" has achieved such rapid growth. First, the company's publicity plan has been implemented, and the effect is very significant; second, many artists and stars have forwarded support on Weibo, which has led to some Traffic; third, word-of-mouth begins to ferment."
Among these reasons, the second point is the most unexpected. Who would have thought that a large number of artists and celebrities in the circle would follow and repost and support it. The source is easy to find, and that is Su Lan.
Miss Su Su was a big help.
Zhu Ruopu continued to say that in view of the obvious improvement in performance, "Little Opera" will be launched on Penguin Video and broadcast simultaneously.
This also means that the audience of "Xiao Xi Gu" will be greatly expanded.
As "Xiao Xi Gu" begins to fully develop, more and more people are aware of this children's drama, and related discussions have become heated.
And this show is indeed very controversial.
On Bianhu, the topic "What do you think of ? Is it worth encouraging children to perform in big dramas?", quietly climbed into the top ten of the hot list.
There is almost no difference in strength between the affirmative and negative factions, and both have good reasons.

It’s hard to understand that some people want to ban “Little Opera” because they hate children and don’t look like children.
I'm very puzzled.
What do you think children are like? Like naughty children? The ones who only know how to climb slides or cry? Then they grow up to become more mediocre adults? Excellent people will also be outstanding in childhood. They are already at an age that you can’t imagine. start.
Take my four-year-old niece as an example. She likes dancing and English. She even won a dance competition and was selected to learn acting. She is also very sensible. At the age of four, she already knows what it feels like to take care of others, even after you finish eating. If I put it on the table, she will take the initiative to throw it away. I think she is very smart and has a similar temperament to the little actor in the play. She is a very cute child, not without childlike appearance.
You can't think that just because they are good, or because they had a different childhood than you, that they don't look like children.
No one can define childlikeness, and there is no definition. Childlikeness is what is in line with nature.
But the user "花花花落" wrote:
We have called for the protection of minors for many years, and the country has also introduced laws and regulations. We have just achieved some results, but now we find that some film and television companies put children on the screen to gain attention, so that the entire media seems to be praising children. ?For the sake of ratings, they let some happy children perform sad dramas and force them into the character atmosphere. This is a unhealthy trend and cannot be promoted. Moreover, as far as this drama is concerned, there is nothing new.
The two factions quarreled, and the popularity of the topic rose rapidly. It broke into the top ten, the top five, and the top three, ranking first.
Bianhu’s answers and discussions are more high-end, but Weibo is very direct.
"It's hard to say that it doesn't look good."
"I just feel embarrassed."
"I feel embarrassed when I see you."
"Are the popular traffic niches going to die of shame?"
"Many directors would die of shame if they obey the Taoism."
"Consuming children will encourage unhealthy trends and harm the protection of minors."
"He is obviously a child of about ten years old, but he acts like an adult. It's so weird and awkward. Isn't it good to be an innocent and natural child?"
…
Even Zhang Tan's class group was having a heated discussion.
They are all in the directing industry. After graduation, working in the film and television industry is closely related to myself, so naturally I care more about it.
"It can be seen that this director is serious about filming, and he is very good at acting and serving. The acting skills of the young actors are all top-notch. The young actor who played Grandma Liu surprised me the most. I can't imagine that he was a 9-year-old child.
Act."
"It is undeniable that the director's intentions are good, but it may have a great negative impact. In fact, there are many subjects that can be filmed. Why should a group of children be put on the screen? I am a bit worried about the future of these beautiful little girls."
"Those who have a dirty mind think dirty things."
"Lou Xinyi, let's just discuss the matter and don't curse, okay?"
…
Everyone was having a heated discussion, and several people started arguing.
The group leader had to come out to calm down his anger and asked Su Lan to say a few words.
As the group leader, his words are often far less effective than Su Lan's.
Su Lan was indeed peeking at the screen and appeared immediately.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with children acting in a big show, but we have to be careful because the waves behind us will hit us on the beach."
…
Because the discussion was so intense, it even alarmed the People's Daily and published a commentary.
"Recently, a drama called "Grandma Liu Enters the Grand View Garden" suddenly became popular all over the Internet. The biggest feature of this drama is that the average age of all the actors is only 10 years old. Although they are young, their acting skills are online, so regardless of the title of the TV series or the audience's reputation
, they all call this group of children ‘little opera bones’.”
"While many people applaud this drama, many people also express concerns. Can children act in big dramas? Does letting children perform complex emotions mature them? It is what the creators call better inheritance of traditional culture.
Or is it just an adult-dominated game?"
"First of all, let's discuss the concept of a great drama. The reason why "A Dream of Red Mansions" is considered a great drama is due to the influence of the 1987 version. But in fact, there has been controversy in the academic circles about the ages of the characters in "A Dream of Red Mansions", but it is generally believed that Jia Jia
Baoyu and Lin Daiyu first met when they were six or seven years old. Baochai was only eleven or twelve years old when she entered Jia's house. Therefore, the small-scale version of "Dream of Red Mansions" cannot be called an adult play. On the contrary, many viewers believe that the play is
It makes up for the shortcomings of the 1987 version where the big ones adorn the small ones..."
This article is eloquent, with more than 3,000 words, and its views are objective and neutral, but in fact, I tend to agree with "Xiao Xigu".
Because the official media came in and gave positive reviews, some extreme media and individuals finally dared not attack too wantonly.
And "Little Actor" is also amidst heated discussions, with its playback volume rising steadily, which surprises the crew and the studio.
