Chapter 291: After the leader’s popularity increased, some people became anxious

 In the second week after "My Leader, My Group" was aired online, the rating on Huaban.com finally broke through the 9-point mark and stayed at 9.0.

Such a score is definitely out of reach for many dramas.

But fans are not the key. The most important thing is that with Sang Shaolong, the account of Long Ge Cinema, taking the lead, many film and television self-media have begun to promote this drama.

This situation is obviously what Congzhu and Kiwi are willing to see.

Now as long as you open some social media, you can see some netizens commenting on the drama Captain Amway from time to time.

And in many places, netizens can be seen posting impressive lines from the play.

"How can I say that I have no clothes, but I share the same robe with you?"

As the plot progresses, many people begin to realize that the screenwriter of this drama is Xu Ji.

Xu Ji started to use the knife.

Moreover, the knife this time was particularly cruel, and many viewers were successfully "cured".

This drama is so heavy that it makes people breathless.

But after many people fall into the trap, they want to give up only to find that they can no longer give up.

The final result is that I have already guessed the ending. This group of defeated soldiers who are regarded as cannon fodder will probably not have any good results, but I still want to continue watching.

"Oh, I hope there will be a happy ending, even though I know it's impossible."

"War is cruel, and the characters in it are not perfect. Long Wenwen is not like a protagonist in the traditional sense, but it still does not affect his personality charm."

"Xu Ji's performance is stable, but in this drama, I can't seem to blame him. Xu Ji knows better than us, the audience, how to write so that the plot has a sense of history and makes the characters vivid.

Live."

"Criticism will come, but Xu Ji has never been one of those ordinary low-level screenwriters. The hair-cutting is based on the direction of the plot. Those screenwriters who want to learn Xu Ji's hair-cutting, how can they possibly learn it?"

......

After the premiere of "My Leader, My Team", Song Lili, as a director, naturally has to pay attention to the audience's evaluation of this drama.

What makes him happy is that the show's reputation seems to be pretty good.

Even he can't produce many dramas with scores above 8, not to mention that this drama has already scored 9.

It is a milestone work of his, and it is definitely a masterpiece that can be used.

But I don’t know if the previous curse can’t be broken.

Although the copyright of this drama has been sold and the cost has been recovered, he has avoided the bankruptcy of his company.

However, the data after the show was broadcast were somewhat unsatisfactory.

But now, with the fermentation of word-of-mouth, there seems to be some improvement.

It is really possible for Kiwi to make money back in the future.

Of course, what makes Song Lili feel most helpless is that netizens discussing this drama on the Internet basically only mention the screenwriter Xu Ji.

As for him as a director, few people really talk about it.

It seems that this is also something that must be experienced when working with Xu Ji.

Even if he is just a screenwriter, as long as it is Xu Ji's script, he will be labeled by the other party.

Not only directors under Tongji Entertainment are like this, but even a top-tier director like him cannot escape this law.

However, this has its pros and cons. The attention Xu Ji brings is indeed very high, which is a natural publicity advantage.

In addition, Song Lili has personally experienced the quality of Xu Ji's scripts.

If given the chance, he would still choose to cooperate with Xu Ji without hesitation.

After all, being able to film "My Captain, My Group" makes Song Lili feel very satisfied.

With such a story, I guess no director in China can resist the temptation.

......

"What's going on?"

"Why is this show so popular all of a sudden?!!"

Penguin Video, Xu Sheng was very angry at this time.

At the same time, I also felt very puzzled.

After the drama "My Leader, My Team" premiered on Kiwi, the response was obviously very average, and it can even be said that it was almost cool.

Compared with the original announcement before the broadcast, it did not meet expectations.

This made Xu Sheng, who had not been able to grab the copyright, breathe a sigh of relief at that time, and began to promote several new dramas that were about to be launched according to the original plan.

But I didn’t expect that just over a week had passed, and October hadn’t even finished yet, but this drama would suddenly become more popular.

At the same time, the data in various aspects has also recovered, and it has returned to the number one position on the online platform.

Even yesterday, Penguin launched a new drama that had great hopes.

Although the data for the premiere are good, it is even number one on the video platform.

But it still failed to crush it, or even widen the gap with the drama "My Captain, My Team".

Anyone else would probably feel depressed.

Moreover, the discussion of this drama is obviously still increasing, and it is really possible that it will become a hit by relying on word-of-mouth.

Thinking of this, Xu Sheng became even more angry when he looked at Bi Feihong, who was standing honestly in front of him.

The copyright fee for this drama is only 150 million.

But he gave the other party a budget of 300 million, and even said that if it was not enough, he could continue to increase it.

In the end, he still failed to obtain the copyright. If it weren't for the fact that the other party had followed him since he entered the company, Xu Sheng would have doubted whether Bi Feihong was a spy sent by Kiwi.

Bi Feihong felt bitter in his heart and couldn't express it.

At that time, he really had no interest in this drama, and he didn't understand why anyone would be willing to watch such a silent drama.

He even fell asleep while watching it.

Then when bidding, I originally wanted to complete the task assigned to me by Xu Sheng.

No matter how the show goes, let’s buy the copyright first.

In the end, for some unknown reason, Song Lili didn’t seem to intend to increase the price.

After Cong Zhu and he came up with a price, they decisively sold the copyright.

And so does the boss. When the show premiered, he even praised himself for not buying the copyright, otherwise Penguin would have been taken advantage of.

But now he suddenly changed his story and began to blame himself.

However, Bi Feihong knew that his current situation was not very good and he relied on Xu Sheng to protect him, otherwise he would have been fired long ago.

At this time, he didn’t dare to say anything, and he bore the other party’s anger honestly.

......

When Xu Ji, the crew of "Infernal Affairs", was taking a break, he accidentally discovered that the popularity of the drama "My Leader, My Team" was slowly increasing.

Although he had some guesses, Xu Ji still felt a little surprised.

After all, in his previous life, he had an impression of the tragic situation after the show was aired.

It has the original cast of "Soldier Assault", and the audience's expectations are also very high.

Even when the copyright was sold, three TV stations rushed to buy it.

But after it was finally aired, the ratings were extremely poor. It is not an exaggeration to say that no one cared about it.

One of the TV stations even canceled the show before it was finished because the ratings were too low, and started broadcasting another show instead.

That is to say, with the development of the Internet, many people began to gradually notice this legacy, and the popularity began to slowly increase.

However, due to the passage of time, when the drama "The Leader" was broadcast, the Internet was not that developed.

People follow TV dramas all the time.

Usually during the prime time after meals, I watch two episodes a day, and then form a fixed habit.

As for word-of-mouth, many people don’t know about it.

I just felt that I wasn’t interested after watching one or two episodes, so I simply changed the channel.

Like now, you can still have complete episodes for you to start over and catch up from the beginning.

If you miss the broadcast time, the replay will have to be in the early morning, and there is even no replay to watch.

I’ve missed watching a few episodes, and often I can’t continue to follow them.

It can only be said that the current era is different from the time when it was broadcast in the previous life, so it is possible to attract so many viewers by relying on word of mouth.

......

However, Xu Ji just paid a brief attention to it. He was extremely busy during this period.

There is not much time to carefully observe the process of the drama "Tuanzhang"'s counterattack by relying on word of mouth.

Apart from the filming of "Infernal Affairs", what actually cost Xu Ji the most was the messages from other crew directors of Tongji Entertainment.

Pang Er is the least, after all, the other party’s experience is quite sufficient.

Although this time it was a movie, most of the problems could still be solved by oneself. The detailed script written by Xu Ji was enough.

But for people like Yang Anran and others, some problems will arise from time to time, and they need to be discussed with Xu Ji.

Although Yang Anran had previously filmed a movie "Soul of Chess", it was actually not bad because Pang Er, a senior, was helping him at the time.

This time is different, especially in the drama "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", props and special effects account for a large part.

As Yang Anran was filming, she felt that some parts did not restore the scenes in Xu Ji's script.

Then he started asking about Xu Ji.

Naturally, Xu Ji couldn't ignore it, so he started a high-intensity video explanation with Yang Anran and a group of prop masters from the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" crew.

The situation is similar in "Parental Love" and "The Legend of the Heroes of the Withering Heroes".

The only one that is better may be "Parental Love", because they are all realistic themes, and the plots are basically real shots.

Moreover, all the traces in the script and even the storyboards were clearly prepared, so there were basically no problems.

In addition, the actors were all veteran actors from the government, and many of the scenes were done over and over again. Even the director was a little confused when it went smoothly, so he came to Xu Ji to ask a lot of questions, for fear that he would not be able to film well.

However, after Xu Ji saw the finished footage, he basically felt that there was no big problem, so he let the other party feel free to take the photo.

At the very least, wait until you have accumulated enough materials before asking for help in reviewing them.

Xu Ji also didn't expect that "Parents' Love" would be the smoothest filming.

The length of the episodes of this drama is not short, and it spans a long time.

If we continue like this, we should be able to successfully launch it in December at the most.

Xu Ji has also thought about it. Since this drama is all official actors and it is a serious drama, he can consider cooperating with the official side.

It is actually quite appropriate to broadcast it on the official TV station.

As for the online platform, because it has reached a cooperative relationship with g station, it is naturally the exclusive copyright of g station.

Station G can actually recover its costs, but it doesn’t matter if the copyright fee from the TV station is more or less.

This "Parental Love" is indeed much more suitable to be placed on the official channel than on those local channels.

Moreover, the copyright fees for official channels are actually not very low.

At the very least, compared to local channels, official channels are richer.

Nowadays, many people actually no longer follow TV dramas as a medium.

The traffic of major TV stations is declining, and advertising alone has been reduced a lot.

Xu Ji's previous dramas were all simulcast rights bought by several TV stations because the prices were too high.

Nowadays, except for the official government, which is not short of money, in fact, the financial situation of local stations is not good.

Even the bonus periods for variety shows in previous years have passed.

The number of people watching TV is indeed gradually decreasing, and most of them are elderly people.

As for whether the TV will completely become a piece of furniture in the end, that is another story.

......

Chi Jiang, sitting in his office at G station headquarters, hasn’t felt like this for a long time.

I feel completely relaxed. The various competitions in October this time seem to have nothing to do with the G station.

He faced the whole process with the mentality of watching a show.

He didn't think that these low-cost online dramas from G Station this time had much hope of becoming an instant hit.

It’s better to just wait for Xuji Company’s new drama to be released.

As for the popularity of the show "My Leader, My Team", he actually doesn't really care whether it can really counterattack by relying on word of mouth.

Anyway, G Station doesn’t have any dramas that are scheduled to conflict with each other.

The ones who should be worried about this are the two platforms Penguin Video and Tudou Video which have just announced several new dramas.

Everyone is in a competitive relationship, but because of Xu Ji, Chi Jiang is more inclined to think that Kiwi's "My Leader, My Team" can become the biggest winner in the follow-up.

Speaking of this, when "Soul of Chess" and "White Night" were aired, he was worried every day.

Browse the official data website and look at the rankings on G station.

At the same time, Chi Jiang needs to be responsible for the growth of membership, negotiations with advertisers, etc.

G station is indeed no longer the same G station it used to be. Since the two "Sword of Immortals" films, the number of people following dramas on G station has greatly increased.

Coupled with the original content ecology, G station is actually the only one in China.

For example, the three major video websites actually mainly serve the needs of users to watch and follow dramas, and their social attributes are relatively small.

Before this, g-station had more social attributes. Although it does now, the usage ratio of the two functions has gradually become equal.

Station g is no longer the website that only focused on anime and TV series.

What makes Chi Jiang most happy is that this time after the broadcast of "White Night Chase", there was no huge drop in the number of members.

After the last episode of Fairy Sword 2 was aired, the number of renewed members suddenly dropped a lot.

Seeing the decline in those data, Chi Jiang also felt distressed.

Now, it seems that with the increase in film and television dramas, the impact of this problem has gradually weakened.
