On February 24th and 24th, Haijin TV will broadcast the thirteenth and fourteenth episodes of "Blue Life and Death Love" during prime time.
With the expectations of countless "Blue Fans" fans, the ratings exceeded 2%!
This is an amazing result, and it is also the first urban drama to have a ratings of over 2 points since 2012!
As a result, it once again caused a stir inside and outside the circle.
Although many people had made accurate predictions in advance, when this ratings miracle actually happened, countless people were still shocked and unbelievable, and hot discussions about "Blue Life and Death" became a common phenomenon.
The total investment in "Blue Life and Death" is over 10 million, and the publicity fee will not exceed 15 million. For a 20-episode medium-length drama, the production cost is very low.
Most of the actors in the play are unknown newcomers, and the two protagonists are not professional actors. Lu Chen and Filia Chen are both singers and do not have much acting experience.
As for the TV series itself, the story is Lu Chen’s original work and has nothing to do with the popular IP.
The most speechless thing is that the plot in the play is very sad. It is not at all the popular happy reunion of a handsome guy and a beautiful woman, or a Cinderella and a domineering president. Although the ending has not been released yet, it is very likely to be a big tragedy.
This kind of drama has become very popular.
"This is a pure love drama full of tears"
Someone wrote on a blog: "Watching this drama, I never considered the love logic in it, because I couldn't understand why two people who had been brothers and sisters since childhood could develop into lovers when they grew up."
"But the music, pictures and actors' acting skills are enough to make everyone who watches it melt with sadness."
"The story begins quietly, but the accumulated sadness hits you at the climax. It is very tense and you will never tire of listening to it. The pictures, the village when you were a child, and the farm when you grow up, are very much like the world in a fairy tale."
"The actors, whether they were children or adults, are all so cute, beautiful, handsome, and in short, eye-catching. Whether they are the protagonists or supporting actors, their acting skills are great and their emotional expressions are perfect!
"Today's eccentric society is filled with fast food-style emotions. Even the screens are full of temptations and competitions, making people increasingly confused and at a loss as to what to do."
"Now I no longer have the patience to watch a TV series from beginning to end, and I have begun to laugh at the too many idiotic and superficial idol dramas I have watched. But in the process of chasing "Blue Life and Death", I feel like I am cleansing myself.
It feels so peaceful and sad, as if it had just rained, and the air is so fresh!"
"I like this TV series, that's it. I don't expect a perfect ending. But I will definitely finish it!"
The blogger who wrote this long blog post, Shi Bing, is not famous at all. He is just a very ordinary member of Inspur Blog. He does not even have a V number and only has a few dozen fans.
But after her blog post was forwarded, the number of fans increased by a hundred times, and many "blue fans" left messages expressing the same views as hers. The popularity of "Blue Life and Death Love" is evident.
On the Inspur blog, the number of members of the blue fan group of "Blue Life and Death" has exceeded one million, so much so that the official has opened a separate discussion section for this TV series, which has attracted a lot of popularity.
In the face of the craze set off by "Blue Life and Death", the urban emotional dramas or idol dramas broadcast at the same time in China have been greatly suppressed. Even the major drama "My Heart Is Flying" by Shonan Satellite TV has also been broadcast in the same period as "Blue Life and Death".
"Love" suffered a disastrous failure in the collision, and the ratings once dropped to 0.35%.
This makes the Hunan Satellite TV’s massive hype of “My Heart Is Flying” a few months ago all a joke!
The happiest and most depressing person is undoubtedly Haijin TV, which premiered "Blue Life and Death Love".
The ratings of "Blue Life and Death" have exceeded 2. With six episodes left to be aired, the momentum continues to rise in the later period. It is a foregone conclusion that the domestic average ratings of the entire series will exceed 1% and reach 1.5% or even higher.
It's not a strange thing.
The gambling agreement between the two parties uses the average domestic ratings of 0.25% as the base point. For every 0.10% increase, the buyout payment price for one episode will be increased by 100,000. So even if calculated at 1.5%, Haijin Satellite TV will pay 1.2 million more for 20 episodes.
That’s a full 24 million!
On the one hand, Haijin TV has earned a large amount of advertising fees due to the popularity of "Blue Life and Death", on the other hand, it also feels heartbroken for the additional fees it will pay. If I had known this, it would have earned 1 million for one episode.
Haijin TV is in pain and happiness, and other people or units related to "Blue Life and Death" have all shared in the rich feast, including investors, directors, actors, etc.
The fan circles of Filia Chen and Lu Chen have expanded a lot. Advertisers and performers are coming to their door like crucian carp crossing the river. Especially Lu Chen's net worth has risen even more, reaching a level that he could not imagine before.
Before the broadcast of "Blue Life and Death", a million dollars would be enough to hire Lu Chen as a brand endorser for a year. Now Lu Xi's external quotation is at least 5 million. If the price is less than this price, he will not have to talk about it!
There is an endless stream of people looking for Lu Chen to cooperate, looking for him to star in movies and TV series, and even looking for him to publish books!
Lu Chen let Lu Xi handle all the hustle and bustle, and stayed at Jinling to complete all the dubbing and soundtrack work for the last few episodes of "Blue Life and Death".
And on January 30, the day when the fifteenth episode of "Blue Life and Death" was broadcast, the well-known ID Stray Cat posted a post on the Sky Forum Entertainment Edition, one of the largest BBS forums in China, which attracted the attention of many netizens.
.
The title of this post is very interesting, it's called "Crazy, Domineering, Strong and Handsome".
There was no text in the post, so Stray Cat posted a carefully edited high-definition GI video.
In this short 30-second video, the protagonist is none other than Lu Chen.
I saw him wearing black armor astride a horse, holding a bright silver gun, galloping and charging, brazenly killing the Huns army, like a tiger, horse and dragon, showing everyone a character completely different from the image in "Blue Life and Death"!
This video was shot very wonderfully. The close-ups and angle shifts were used just right, perfectly showing the momentum and bravery of the generals charging into battle. It makes people feel excited after watching it, and it has a very blockbuster-like feel.
The ID of Stray Cat is very famous in the entertainment section of the Sky Forum. His identity is quite mysterious. No one knows whether he is a boy or a girl or what his occupation is. He makes daily revelations on the entertainment section, breaking all kinds of news in the entertainment industry.
For example, a certain celebrity cheated on his wife, a certain idol scolded his fans, a certain celebrity was having sex with a gay...
Many people actually know that Stray Cat is supposed to be an Internet promoter, but his posts have a common characteristic, that is, they are meaningful, and the information he exposes is often genuine, and rarely makes up rumors or fabricated facts, so he is regarded as entertainment by forum netizens
The number of clicks and comments is often very high as the guiding light of the version.
Back then, Stray Cat once pushed Lu Chen and severely slapped several judges on Hunan TV and "Singing China" in the face. It caused a sensation on the Internet and caused a considerable impact.
This video post is also related to Lu Chen and attracted a large number of replies in just a few minutes.
"Damn, it's really awesome!"
"Is this a stunt? It feels like there is no need for a stuntman. He is very handsome!"
"This one looks familiar"
"Haha, you don't even know Lu Chen? He is the original master of the folk song Prince and the leading actor in "Blue Life and Death"!"
"Professionals said that these shots did not use a double or any special effects. They are really talented!"
"I'll just say three words: so handsome!"
"Hype"
"It should be hype, but can anyone tell me what movie Lu Chen is filming?"
"Yeah, it's almost Chinese New Year, but I haven't heard that he has a new drama!"
"It should be an advertisement, right? Or a music video?"
Among the people who responded to the comment, nine out of ten praised it.
Everyone has seen costume movies, and there are many famous actors who have played military generals, but the young general played by Lu Chen gives everyone the feeling that he is just like the title of the Stray Cat post: cool, domineering, handsome and awesome!
This video was quickly moved to a blog, and Stray Cat also posted the same post on his personal blog.
So the video spread like a virus on the Internet, even appearing in many Feixun groups, arousing the curiosity of countless netizens, and "crazy, tyrannical, powerful, handsome and explosive" soon appeared on the homepage of the blog
's hot word list.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is marketing hype, but more people who don’t know the truth are looking for answers.
What kind of film was Lu Chen filming?
"What kind of movie are you filming?"
When he received Filia Chen's call, Lu Chen had just seen the short video that had been forwarded everywhere on blogs.
He smiled bitterly and said: "It's the movie "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty" in which I guest-starred."
"That drama where you guest-starred?"
Filia Chen knew that Lu Chen had made a guest appearance in a certain movie in Jinling, and she suddenly realized: "That's an official leak and hype, why are all your shots?"
Official leaks of film and television dramas currently being filmed are a common means of publicity.
Lu Chen touched his nose: "I want to know too."
Most of the shots he took are in this half-minute video.
Filia Chen smiled and said: "It should be because you are popular now, the 200,000 they paid is so worth it!"
Lu Chen smiled: "Yes."
He played a guest role in "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty". In half a day, he satisfied his acting addiction and made a fortune at the same time. He thought he had taken advantage of it, but he didn't expect that others were also good at it!
The scene shot by Lu Chen actually has little to do with the whole movie, because the protagonist is Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and even the hussar general Huo Qubing is a supporting character.
But the crew of "Emperor of Han Dynasty" had great ideas and actually created this short video to promote it, which was very clever.
Of course, Lu Chen would not say that he felt he was at a disadvantage, because this was also a positive promotion of himself!
Because of this video, the comment section of Lu Chen’s blog was once again flooded. ——
