Chapter 140 'Love of Mountains and Seas' starts airing
In fact, Sang Shaolong is not very interested in the upcoming "Mountains and Seas".
In other words, he is not interested in most of the tribute dramas in recent years.
If it weren't for the director being Xu Ji, he would never be like this, waiting in front of the TV to wait for the show to air.
It’s no wonder that Sang Shaolong wants to wear colored glasses, mainly because gift dramas have indeed had a bad reputation in recent years.
Due to the poor reputation and the boring plot of the script due to the theme of the gift drama, it gradually became unpopular.
That’s because Xu Ji’s filming of the gift drama has been very popular.
Otherwise, Sang Shaolong probably wouldn’t pay too much attention to who the director of this tribute drama is.
Xu Ji did not choose to make the sequel to Sword and Sword, but accepted the invitation to make a tribute drama, although this seemed to be a good choice.
After all, being able to film a tribute drama is actually a status and honor for film and television drama directors.
But in the eyes of Sang Shaolong, a film and television UP owner, the so-called honor in the film and television industry is not that important.
After all, the gift drama will still more or less consume the reputation accumulated by Xu Ji's previous "The Best of Us" and "Legend of Sword and Fairy One".
You must know that these two dramas are not only hit dramas, but also high-scoring dramas on Huaban.com.
Although he clamored to send blades, Xu Ji is now considered by many people as their favorite film and television director.
There was a related poll before, asking if these film and television drama directors made new dramas, who would you choose to support?
Xu Ji has the highest number of votes.
Although this vote has no reference value at all, after all, it is ultimately decided by the quality of the drama.
But it can be seen that everyone’s expectations for Xu Ji are still very high.
However, since it is Xu Ji's new drama, there happens to be no material recently. Sang Shaolong still plans to watch Xu Ji's tribute drama with the mentality of giving it a try.
Of course, Sang Shaolong himself didn’t have much expectations.
The theme of this year’s gift drama seems to be poverty alleviation?
This kind of subject matter is even more difficult to film than some of the tribute dramas in previous years.
Even if Xu Ji didn't take the picture well, Sang Shaolong actually felt that it was understandable.
Xu Ji obviously has no experience in filming a drama, so he can understand.
After that, Xu Ji came back to film the second part of Sword with An Xin, and Sang Shaolong will still support it.
......
"It begins!"
Watching the commercials on the official film and television drama channel end, Sang Shaolong slightly adjusted his sitting posture on the sofa.
Normally, he would use his tablet or mobile phone to record when watching dramas.
In order to provide some ideas for writing copywriting for subsequent videos.
But this time Sang Shaolong only had a can of happy water in his hand.
He had no intention of making a video for Xu Ji's drama from the beginning.
......
After the opening credits ended and the video just started, a narration introduced the background.
“The story has to start from 1991. In order to provide food for the people in the impoverished area of Xihaigu, Ning Province implemented the diaozhuang immigration policy and relocated some people from the mountains to the plains to open up wasteland and build new homes.
”
......
Although he seems very relaxed, Sang Shaolong still has the acumen of a film critic.
Quickly detect the key information in the narration.
Since it is a poverty alleviation drama, and the diaozhuang immigration policy is mentioned in it, the story is probably told around this background.
This was the first time Sang Shaolong heard about this policy, and he couldn't help but become a little interested.
Immediately afterwards, the plot at the beginning was about the relocated villagers who had immigrated to Diaozhuang because they felt that the Gobi Desert was too bitter, so they ran back to their original villages.
It was precisely because of this that Director Zhang, who was in charge of Diaozhuang immigration, was severely criticized by County Magistrate Yang.
The two actors in this scene are both official actors. Although Sang Shaolong couldn't name them, he still knew them.
The antagonist scenes seemed to go very smoothly, which is not surprising to Sang Shaolong, after all, the official acting skills of this group of actors are here.
But what surprised Sang Shaolong was that the makeup and kimono of the actors in this drama were so...
Sang Shaolong couldn't describe it for a while.
To put it nicely, it’s called down-to-earth, but to put it badly, it’s a bit earthy.
Although it has indeed been restored, this kind of persuasion is probably not liked by young people nowadays.
He was thinking so.
......
The plot of the play continues. At this time, the male protagonist Ma Defu, played by Ran Bai, appears. He has just returned from agricultural school and started working.
Ma Defu assured Director Zhang that his father was the acting village director of the families of farmers who had returned from Diaozhuang, and he would definitely be able to help them recover these families of villagers who had returned.
......
Seeing this, Sang Shaolong has actually begun to guess the next plot.
If we follow the previous tribute dramas, they must have started to tell some great truths to the villagers who ran back, saying that whatever they did was for their own good, and then finally persuaded the villagers who ran back to go back.
But soon, Sang Shaolong suddenly found that he had been slapped in the face.
The plot did not go as he thought.
......
Ma Defu's father, Ma Huashui, took Director Zhang from house to house with the intention of chasing back these villagers who ran back.
But I didn’t expect that these people each have their own weird reasons.
From being unable to stand the mosquito bites over there to being unaccustomed to the diet, trachoma and sandstorms all came out.
But these people are really poor.
Sang Shaolong was amused when he saw that a family of three brothers were so poor that they could only wear one set of pants, and one of them had to stay at home when they went out.
The villagers also gave them the guinea fowl for poverty alleviation to develop their breeding industry, but only one was left to eat.
Somehow, although Sang Shaolong was slapped in the face at this time, he was not unhappy at all.
At this time, he felt that this tribute drama seemed quite interesting to film.
Perhaps because this plot contains some funny elements, Sang Shaolong didn’t feel much about the so-called poverty in this village.

Until the protagonist Ma Defu knew that his childhood sweetheart Shuihua was betrothed by her father to An Yongfu of Kushui Village.
After hearing what Ma Defu said, Sang Shaolong suddenly stopped laughing.
"We, the women of Yongquan Village, can marry someone just for a donkey."
Li Shuihua is Ma Defu's childhood sweetheart. They are classmates and lovers.
I once eloped for love, but was stopped by Ma Defu's father.
Later, Ma Defu was admitted to university, while Li Shuihua dropped out of school to work in farming due to family reasons.
Unexpectedly, Ma Defu just came back and heard such news.
Sang Shaolong felt a little shocked. In that era, could a father really sell his daughter for a water cellar, a donkey, two sheep and two cages of chickens as a gift like in the drama?<
/p>
......
Immediately afterwards, something unexpected happened, and Li Laoshuan, the father of the village water flower, was beaten.
The reason was that the water splash disappeared and the other party thought that Li Laoshuan wanted to defraud the bride price, so he beat him up.
But at this time, Shui Hua ran away with four children in the village who had long been planning to escape.
In order to retrieve the child, Ma Defu rode his bicycle to chase him, and finally found several people in a stopped train carriage.
When Ma Defu saw his younger brother running away with him, he pressed his head angrily and drove the four children back.
But when only Li Shuihua was left squatting in the corner, he did not dare to step forward.
At this moment, Li Shuihua turned her head, holding back her tears, and asked in a tearful tone:
"Are you coming to take me back and marry Ernst & Young?"
Ma Defu finally hesitated, turned around and walked out of the carriage.
After a while, he came back again, searched his pockets, found all the money he had, and gave it to the other person.
"Here, take it."
"There are people recruiting workers in the county, but the county is too close. They will definitely find you if you go there."
.....
Ma Defu was giving Li Shuihua instructions.
At this time, the tears in Li Shuihua's eyes could no longer hold back.
But she still didn't cry, she just agreed softly.
"You are a girl out there, you have to take care of yourself."
—"Yeah"
"Protect yourself."
—"Yeah"
Finally, Ma Defu turned and left.
......
Sang Shaolong never expected that such a scene would suddenly happen.
He was not prepared at all, and at this moment the tears flowed out along with the tears of the water splash in the play.
Who is this actor?
Sang Shaolong didn't know Zhu Zinan, but he knew that this crying scene could be considered a god.
And this plot is really...
The more Sang Shaolong thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.
She only hopes that Li Shuihua can live a better life after running out.
Don’t contact the father who sold her again.
At this time, while Ma Huashui was teaching his younger brother Ma Debao, who had been recovered by Ma Defu, he suddenly heard that the An family next door was making trouble again.
They also said that they did not want to refund the bride price, only the person.
......
"No more?"
Sang Shaolong was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he had finished watching one episode without even realizing it.
"Why is this ad so long?"
After going to the toilet and coming back, Sang Shaolong complained.
Then he suddenly reacted.
What's going on, I'm actually looking forward to the plot of this tribute drama?
Immediately, Sang Shaolong stopped worrying. This tribute drama was obviously different from the ones he had watched before.
After waiting for a while, the commercial finally ended, and the second episode of "Mountains and Seas" was also broadcast.
But just at the beginning, Sang Shaolong was stunned by the development of the plot.
The An family next door was relentless in asking for someone, and when Li Shuihua's father was about to be kidnapped, the entire existence was in a state of uproar.
Li Shuihua suddenly came back.
He and Ma Defu looked at each other. Her eyes were full of tears, but she still showed a bitter smile to each other.
Then he knelt down in front of his father.
"Dad, I listen to you."
"I'll marry."
......
Li Shuihua finally married for her father.
Although she said, "He wants to sell me," she still came back.
Sang Shaolong felt mixed feelings in his heart at this time and was speechless.
The plot continued to develop, and with the help of the old party secretary, the bankers who ran back were finally solved.
Five years have passed in the blink of an eye, and dozens of resettlement villages have gradually been built on the desolate Gobi Desert.
However, the work of poverty alleviation is still very difficult.
Ma Defu, who became the team leader of the Development Office, was responsible for Jintan Village, which could not meet the electricity requirements due to insufficient population.
I went through several departments to intercede, but it still had no effect.
"Rules are rules!"
When Sang Shaolong saw this, he sighed in a low voice:
"The plot is too real, and Xu Ji dared to film it."
......
At this time, Ma Defu also learned some news about Li Shuihua.
Shuihua actually lived a good life after marrying Ernst Yongfu.
Her husband, An Yongfu, was very kind to her and even dug a water cellar for her.
But while digging the water cellar, it collapsed unexpectedly, and An Yongfu was trapped underneath and became disabled in both legs.
And it is because of her husband's disability that the Shuihua family, who have no labor, do not meet the criteria for Diaozhuang immigration.
.....
"Should we do this?"
Sang Shaolong sympathized with Shuihua's plight, but at the same time he was full of resentment towards Xu Ji.
First, he was betrayed by his father and married to someone he didn't like.
Then I was living a good life, but my husband’s legs became disabled again.
How will you live from now on?
Sang Shaolong felt worried in his heart.
But what he never expected was that he was wrong from the beginning.
Because he misjudged the role of Li Shuihua.
She only sympathized with Shui Hua's plight, but she never thought about what a tough female character Shui Hua was.
In order to change the life of poverty and not having enough to eat, Li Shuihua took her disabled husband and children alone.
I walked from Yongquan Village for seven days and nights, more than 400 kilometers, to the resettlement village of Diaozhuang immigrants.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Under the oppressive black clouds, Splash pulled the wooden trailer, but still sang loudly.
"Go farther and farther"
"The melancholy in my heart is heavy"
......
It was at this time that Sang Shaolong was completely shocked, and it made his nose feel sore.
He understood at this moment that the character Shui Hua did not need his sympathy at all.
......
Three episodes of "Love Between Mountains and Seas" were aired on the first day. Before and after watching it, Sang Shaolong had two completely different feelings.
Ignore the rest, but he knows that just because of the role of Splash in these two episodes and the actor's acting skills, this drama is worth watching!
Is this a tribute drama made by Xu Ji?
Sang Shaolong lamented that he still underestimated Xu Ji.
Even if it is a tribute drama, even if it is a serious drama that has not been filmed before, Xu Ji can still produce such a high-quality script and produce such a sincere drama.
Although only three episodes have been aired, Sang Shaolong has a premonition.
Xu Ji’s drama may have explosive ratings.
As for this year's Peony Awards, "Mountains and Seas" is likely to become a dark horse.
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a gift drama appear on the shortlist for the Peony Awards.
He suddenly started to look forward to it.
......
It’s different from Sang Shaolong’s prediction of “Mountains and Seas” which dominated the charts the next day after it was aired.
On Weibo the next day, there was not a single entry about "Mountains and Seas" on the hot search list.
It's different from Sang Shaolong who actually goes to watch dramas, although the popularity of "Mountains and Seas" seemed to be very high before.
There are also many netizens paying attention.
But in fact, most of them are just here to join in the fun.
They are more concerned about the fact that Xu Ji filmed a gift drama.
But when "Love Between Mountains and Seas" was aired, because they knew in advance that it was a tribute drama, not many people actually went to watch it.
Everyone tacitly believes that gift dramas are all the same, which is nothing more than talking about big principles, pouring chicken soup on them, and then forcibly sublimating them.
So I don’t want to waste this time, even if it’s just to watch the beginning.
......
"How is the data of "Mountains and Seas"?"
Although Xu Sheng said he didn't need to worry about Penguin Video, he couldn't help but ask his assistant.
After all, in the past, Xu Ji’s two hit dramas almost left a psychological shadow.
"Mr. Xu, the broadcast volume at station G on the first day should be more than 7 million."
"The ratings on CCTV seem to be about 0.31%."
Xu Sheng's assistant pays attention to these data every day. As "Mountains and Seas" was a new drama that was aired yesterday, she naturally remembers it.
Hearing the assistant's words, Xu Sheng felt relieved for some reason.
"It seems that not every drama in Xu Ji can be such a hit."
"Chi Jiang is afraid that he has been fooled..."
......
At this time, Qi Guo, unlike Xu Sheng, had a strange expression on the face of Vice President Cong Zhu.
Xu Sheng obviously didn't take this matter to heart.
Although he is the director of Xu Ji, he doesn’t think there is any hope of profit from the theme of the gift drama.
At most, I just remembered and asked my assistant.
After all, he didn't actually have a deep impression of Xu Ji.
Because Xu Ji never considered collaborating with Penguin Video during the previous Fairy Sword One.
So it’s not like the Penguins missed an opportunity or anything.
But Congzhu is different.
When Xian Jian Yi was born, it was because of her pride that she lost the exclusive rights to broadcast Xian Jian Yi.
Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years.
Although she also felt that the gift drama Xu Ji couldn't produce any flowers, when "Mountain and Sea Love" was broadcast yesterday, she still went to watch the premiere immediately.
It's okay if you don't watch it, but once you watch it, you can't stop.
After watching the three updated episodes, and after Congzhu was separated from the drama, I realized something was wrong.
This drama, given the quality of the drama and the publicity it has done before.
Not surprisingly, it will probably be very popular!
Especially the crying scenes in which the actor plays the role of water splash. I don’t know how many people can be moved to watch just by relying on these clips.
Although the first broadcast data seems to be very low now, she knows very well that it is only a matter of time before it becomes popular.
When Huaban.com opens, this drama will probably begin to slowly appear in people's field of vision.
"Have you watched "The Love of Mountains and Seas"?"
The assistant came to work early in the morning and was stunned for a moment when he suddenly heard Congzhu's words.
Then he shook his head and replied: "No, from the boss."
"I can catch up with you when I have time after get off work. It's quite interesting."
Congzhu said calmly.
The somewhat confused assistant was left behind.
I remember when "Legend of Sword and Fairy One" was so popular.
As a result, I never looked at it.
This time Xu Ji filmed a tribute drama, but recommended it to himself first?
......
As Congzhu said, although the ratings and playback volume of the premiere were very dismal.
But Chi Jiang didn't panic at all.
I even went to bed very early last night and didn't pay attention to the premiere data at all.
When I came to work humming a song in the morning, I heard the nervous assistant tell me the premiere data, but Chi Jiang calmly comforted me:
"It's okay."
"It just aired."
"It's still early."
Chi Jiang knows that because the quality of gift dramas has been uneven in recent years, and there are no high-quality dramas that are particularly popular, it is still very difficult to change the audience.
So he didn’t have particularly high hopes for the premiere data from the beginning.
Having watched the finished film, he knows very well the quality of the show.
......
At this time, many netizens suddenly remembered the news that "Mountains and Seas" had been broadcast, and began to discuss it online.
""Love Between Mountains and Seas" seems to have been broadcast?"
"Yes, it was broadcast last night."
"Does it look good? [Sincere question]"
"I don't know, I haven't seen it."
"Didn't watch 1"
“The data seems to be quite poor (I haven’t looked at it either)”
"I'm not very interested in the theme of the gift drama."
"Although I like Fairy Sword, I haven't watched it. I feel that a gift drama with a theme of poverty alleviation is a bit boring."
......
Many marketing accounts published articles about the strange situation when "Mountains and Seas" premiered with poor numbers.
After I have been waiting for the ratings of "Mountains and Seas" to come out, I once again posted a post mocking Xu Ji to gain popularity.
Just when "Mountains and Seas" was aired for a day and still saw no increase in views, 24 hours after its premiere, Huaban.com was split.
【"Love of Mountains and Seas"】
【Director: Xu Ji】
[Starring: Ran Bai, Chen Kang, Zhu Zinan...]
[Rating: 9.3 (viewed by 5,000 people)]
......
Buzz~
Seeing this rating, marketing accounts all felt confused.
Did you read it wrong?
They looked at it carefully again.
Indeed, I found that I had read it correctly.
9.3 points?
Real or fake?
You must know that for many years, the gift drama has not produced a work with a score of 9 or above.
Even scores above 8 are very rare.
As a result, the score of "Mountains and Seas" is directly 9.3?
But soon these marketing accounts responded.
Since you can’t be black, and you’re going to ride on the heat anyway, it’s better to blow it up quickly!
So just like that, the news that "Mountains and Seas" started broadcasting with a score of 9.3 was on the hot search on Weibo.
Many netizens who had not planned to continue paying attention were shocked when they saw the news.
"Holy shit, whose picture is this? A tribute drama with a score of 9.3?"
"It's not p. I just went to Huapet.com to check it out. It really scored 9.3!"
"I originally saw some media reports in the morning saying that the premiere data was very poor, and I thought it was just like the previous gift dramas. Why did you suddenly tell me that this drama scored more than 9 points?"
"Isn't it because of brushing up points? But Huaban.com's troll testing mechanism is quite strict. I haven't heard of other websites operating like this."
......
It was also at this time that some comments from netizens that had not attracted much attention before and were even considered to be trolls appeared in front of everyone.
"I watched it, "Mountains and Seas" is very interesting!"
"I cried while watching it. The scenes with Shui Hua really made me cry uncontrollably."
"It's a pity. After watching it, I thought it was a good drama. I thought there would be a lot of people discussing it, but I found that not many people actually went to watch it."
......
Someone asked me before who had watched "Mountains and Seas", and they all said they had never seen it.
Otherwise, they are all good reviews.
Everyone subconsciously doesn’t believe that a tribute drama will be well received.
But now after Huaban.com was opened, I looked back at the comments from netizens who said they had seen it, and suddenly realized that these people seemed to be seriously talking about their impressions of what they had seen.
"Is it really that exciting?"
"How can the rating of a gift drama be so high?"
"Why do I feel like this is not true?"
......
With such curiosity, more and more netizens began to go to Station G to catch up on the drama.
