Chapter 221: Comeback against the wind, phenomenal popularity
Not only did not many viewers care about the broadcast of "Soldier Assault", there were not even several platforms.
Although g station did relevant publicity in the early stage, the effect was not satisfactory.
The overall data is even worse than the original "The Silent Truth".
After all, the protagonist of the original drama was Ran Bai, who played Xu Changqing in The Third of Immortals.
Although Ji Yiyang also participated in "Soldier Assault" this time, judging from the publicity and posters, he is not even the second male lead in this drama.
The actor who plays the protagonist Xu Sanduo is a newcomer named Liu Baofeng. Not to mention famous, he has never even played a decent role.
The people around him are all official actors. Although no one will question their acting skills, their popularity is not that high.
If it were another drama company, they might just put the most famous Ji Yiyang in the poster spot.
But Ji Yiyang's character on the poster is similar to the others except Liu Baofeng.
......
"Mr. Chi, do we want to continue our promotion?"
"The animation department has opinions, saying that we have always occupied the best on-site promotion resources, but the data of the drama is still so bad."
In the film and television department of station g headquarters, in Chi Jiang's office, the assistant asked hesitantly.
Chi Jiang is still firm in his decision.
"Cannot withdraw!"
"Our film and television department has not occupied much publicity resources until now."
"When didn't their animation department take the lion's share?"
"This only happened once, why do you talk so much?"
"Let them get used to it, and things like this will happen more often in the future!"
......
"I know, Mr. Chi."
The assistant heard Chi Jiang's words and agreed.
Although the film and television department developed rapidly last year, the foundation of G station still relies on various animation dramas.
Usually, the animation department has more resources than them in all aspects.
Of course, this does not mean that Chi Jiang is afraid of that.
Both sides are at the same company level, and with the huge increase in membership that Fairy Sword II brought to G station, Chi Jiang is quite tough when it comes to his words now.
Of course, the most important thing is that Chi Jiang had finished watching "Soldier Assault" before.
Maybe the current start is a bit unfavorable.
But from Chi Jiang's personal perspective, it is absolutely impossible for Xu Ji's drama to be buried like this.
So he insisted on continuing to promote.
The less the other three companies, Penguin, Kiwi, and Potato, pay less attention to this show, the more G Station can rely on to grab more viewers.
"It's only the sixth episode now, don't panic, time will tell everything!"
Chi Jiang said to himself.
The assistant couldn't tell for a moment whether Mr. Chi was really confident in this drama or just comforting himself.
......
But what happened next was far beyond Assistant Chi Jiang’s expectations.
As the drama "Soldier Assault" continues to be aired, the first branch is opened on Huaban.
The opening score is a super high score of 9.2.
And the number of people who rated it far exceeded everyone’s expectations, there were more than 30,000 people!
With such a number of ratings on Huaban.com, it can definitely be considered a hit drama...
But it seems that there aren’t many people discussing this drama online.
But soon some people saw the clues from some short comments on Huaban.com.
"I watched it with my parents at home. I wasn't very interested at first. I watched it because I saw Ji Yiyang, but once I watched it I couldn't stop. Now I watch it with my parents in front of the TV every day, as if I was back when I was a child." "My dad asked me to watch this drama and said that "Soldier Assault" was very interesting. I was
Thinking about the dramas my parents liked to watch before, I wasn’t really interested in them, but once I watched them, they were really fun!”
"I accidentally heard my parents talking about "Soldier Assault", and then I thought that this seemed to be Xu Ji's new drama. I was bored and went to the G website to watch two episodes. Now I am waiting for the update every day."
"I didn't like Xu Sanduo very much at first, but the more I looked back, the more I admired him, and also admired Xu Ji's ability to find a new way to create such a unique protagonist."
"To live well is to do meaningful things, and to do meaningful things is to live well!"
"The characters in it are really well created! Prairie Squadron 5, Gang 7th Company, Squad Leader Shi, Wu Liuyi, it really feels like joining the army with Xu Sanduo!"
"At first I looked down on Xu Sanduo, but then I started to have a different view of him, and then I started to feel ashamed that I looked down on him. Because after putting myself in his shoes, I know that I am definitely not as good as him."
......
Seeing Chi Jiang laughingly reading the comments on Huaban.com, the assistant asked in surprise: "Are so many people really watching this show?"
Chi Jiang showed no surprise at all.
"No, maybe...more than you think!"
......
As the data of the drama "Soldier Assault" on the g station is rising rapidly, Chi Jiang's words have been verified again.
The show's audience growth rate went from being uninterested at the beginning to suddenly becoming like a rocket.
The person who ignited this rocket is Long Ge Cinema, the up owner with the most fans and the most influence in the film and television area of G Station!
Because Longge Cinema has produced many Xuji dramas, many netizens sometimes said that it received promotion fees from Tongji Entertainment.
But Sang Shaolong didn't pay any attention to these words.
He has his own standards of judgment.
The reason why he has always done Xu Ji's dramas is because the other party's dramas are worthy of his specialization as Amway.
If the works of other directors are of a certain level, Sang Shaolong will still do them.
And this time Sang Shaolong's "This may be the best military drama in Chinese history." became popular much faster than Sang Shaolong imagined.
In just one day since its release, it has exceeded 3 million views.
It also caused the number of views of "Soldier Assault" on the g station to triple from the original more than 60 million to a terrifying figure of nearly 200 million.
At the same time, with the update rate of two episodes of "Soldier Assault" every day.
The audience also completely began to be attracted by this military-themed drama with a niche theme.
Until it was updated to the classic plot of Xu Sanduo completing 333 abdominal pole wraps on the playground.
Xu Sanduo, who has always been called a weakling in the military, has completed his first transformation on the road to becoming the King of Soldiers...
And the enthusiasm of the audience was completely aroused.
On the night when "Soldier Assault" was updated, it directly topped the trending search on Weibo.
And there is an eye-catching word "Explosion" next to it!
From the time it first aired, to no one paying attention to it, and after nearly a week of continuous updates, "Soldier Assault" has become a complete hit.
And it’s an unprecedented explosion.
It’s a phenomenon-level drama that’s so popular.
It feels like the original Sword and Sword III.
......
The sudden explosive counterattack of "Soldier Assault" left everyone unprepared.
Even the three major platforms that already have film sources don’t know about it.
At this time, Xu Sheng, who was already preparing to get off work, obviously needs to continue working overtime again.
The most important thing is that the popularity of "Soldier Assault" has exploded today, and tomorrow is the time for the update of "The Legend of Immortal Killer".
"What a coincidence!"
"You said this show was not popular sooner or later. Why is it now so popular?"
Xu Sheng's mood at this time was only
There is only one word "terrible" to describe it.
Originally, "Soldier Assault" received a mediocre response after it aired, so he didn't take it too seriously.
After all, this drama is an official drama in the final analysis. Although the director is Xu Ji, whom he hates, he did not dare to make an issue out of the fact that the playback data of "Soldier Assault" is not good.
But who knows how this show suddenly became so popular in the past week?!
Who would have thought of this?
The investment before and after the drama "The Immortal Killer", including hanging windows and the like, has cost more than 300 million. Moreover, it is Penguin's own homemade drama, and it is also the company's money.
Originally, I wanted to get off to a good start with this penguin drama.
Unexpectedly, since the broadcast started, there have been all kinds of bumps along the way.
The key point is that although these things are all related to Xu Ji, Xu Sheng really can't blame the other party, saying that Xu Ji deliberately designed Penguin.
From the original two music series "I Am a Songwriter" and "The Peak Songwriter" to the finale of "The Silent Truth".
Finally, what is "Soldier Assault"?
Every time, I just grab the latest update of "The Legend of Immortal Killer", just when the company is preparing for marketing promotion.
"What's going on with "Soldier Assault"?"
"Didn't you say before that not many people watch this show?"
The assistant also looked a little embarrassed when he heard what President Xu Sheng said.
In fact, at the beginning, I felt that not many people watched this drama.
The data on Penguin is also very poor. Even the data on g station, a website that was heavily promoted in the early stage, is very ordinary, and can even be described as miserable.
I didn’t expect that just a week had passed and it was already gone.
When I looked at it yesterday, I found that the single-day playback growth of "Soldier Assault" has far exceeded the two dramas "The Legend of Immortal Killer" and "Underworld" that are still being updated.
Because of this, the assistant intermittently kept up with the show's updates while working.
Unexpectedly, by the time she finished watching, "Soldier Assault" would also be a complete hit.
Of course, the assistant will not say that he watches Xu Ji's drama.
After all, everyone knows that Mr. Xu hates Xu Ji.
When the employees watched Sword and Sword III before, they only dared to discuss the plot and other matters secretly and privately....
"Then Mr. Xu, what should we do now?"
The assistant didn't intend to say anything, although she felt that Xu Ji's military drama was indeed different from the previous dramas.
Even a girl like her likes it very much.
As an assistant, there is no need to give advice to a boss like Mr. Xu who cannot listen to his subordinates.
Just listen to the other party's arrangements with peace of mind.
"What should I do?"
Xu Sheng also realized it at this time.
The fire of "Soldier Assault" has now become a foregone conclusion, and there is nothing that can be done to change it.
"It doesn't matter, don't we Penguins also have the copyright to "Soldier Assault"?"
"The popularity of this drama is actually a good thing for us."
Xu Sheng suddenly thought about the fact that the online copyright of this drama is simulcast, and he felt a little relieved.
"Then Mr. Xu, are we going to put tomorrow's promotional resources for "The Legend of Immortal Killer" into "Soldier Assault"?"
The assistant asked.
When Xu Sheng heard these words, he seemed a little aggrieved and reluctant.
After all, the director of this drama is Xu Ji, one of the people in the entertainment industry that I dislike the most.
But the situation is different now, and Xu Sheng also knows that there is not much benefit to having a head iron.
"Hey, let's allocate half of the publicity resources to "Soldier Assault"."
Xu Sheng could only say this.
Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and then asked:
"We at Penguin, what are the data of the drama "Soldier Assault"?"
The assistant was ready to go out after hearing Xu Sheng's arrangement, but he didn't expect the other party
He suddenly asked such a question again.
But she hesitated, not knowing how to answer.
Seeing the other party's behavior, Xu Sheng suddenly had some bad premonitions in his heart.
"If you have anything to say, just say it!"
"Don't hesitate."
The assistant spoke truthfully:
"The data of "Soldier Assault" on our Penguin side is not very good."
"Now most viewers are chasing this drama on station G."
Xu Sheng was stunned for a moment.
"G station?"
......
Xu Sheng has obviously forgotten that he had previously decided not to give the show any publicity resources.
Even though "Soldier Assault" is online on Penguin, there is no broadcast entry for this drama on the homepage.
On the contrary, their self-produced drama "The Legend of Immortal Killer" now directly occupies the vast majority of pages on Penguin.
Not only penguins, but also kiwis.
They are all trying their best to promote their own homemade drama "Underworld".
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
The only exception is Tudou. Although it is given promotional resources for broadcasting, it is still an ordinary B-level drama.
After the broadcast started, it was found that the data was not good and it was stopped.
The only one who has persisted until now is Chi Jiang from Station G, who is resisting the pressure from the animation department.
And this directly led to many people thinking that the drama "Soldier Assault" is a G station exclusive drama.
The audience also tacitly went to station G to catch up on the drama.
Here at Station G, Chi Jiang, who has just returned to the film and television department after a meeting, is very proud!
In a good mood, he directly announced that the department would have a dinner in the evening and he would treat the guests himself.
The assistant and some other subordinates who had doubts about Chi Jiang before now looked at their department boss with admiration.
"Mr. Chi is so awesome! Thanks to our persistence in promoting it, "Soldier Assault" turned out to be a real hit!"
"Mr. Chi is Mr. Chi. Because he insists on publicity, the data on our G site is now much better than the other three major websites!"
"This is foresight. By the time Penguin people react, we have almost snatched the audience away. Who would have thought that a syndicated drama would now look like it is broadcast exclusively on our G station?"
......
The voices of everyone in the film and television department were not deliberately lowered, and Chi Jiang, who had not yet entered his office, could hear them clearly.
At this time, I couldn't help but smile.
Of course, he is actually not as awesome as everyone says.
After watching this drama, Chi Jiang felt that the drama itself was of excellent quality.
There is another particularly important factor.
That is, he is the same as before, always insisting on believing in Xu Ji.
Anyway, as long as it's Xu Ji's drama, Chi Jiang has never had any doubt that it won't be popular.
After all, Chi Jiang actually had doubts midway.
Including the two previous Fairy Sword films, including the equally popular official tribute drama "Love Between Mountains and Seas".
But all the results prove that Wu Nao is right to believe Xu Ji.
Chi Jiang once thought: It’s too easy. This game has no difficulty!
Of course, if Penguin Xu Sheng heard this, he would probably beat someone up.
