164 The adaptation is not random, the surname Cao is to apologize
After "Journey to the West" was launched, Fanxing paid close attention to its data and evaluation feedback from all parties.
The first is the data. It was premiered on three satellite TV stations at once. "Journey to the West" is still quite popular. This is mainly due to the popularity of "Journey to the West" this year.
At the beginning of the year, CCTV's "Journey to the West Continued" and "Spring Scenes of Pigs" achieved extremely high popularity.
The former is almost guaranteed to win the annual ratings championship this year, while the latter has a great chance of winning the annual satellite TV championship if "Young Bao Qingtian" hadn't come out of nowhere.
In addition, "Sun Wukong", which has exploded in Hong Kong and Taiwan in the past two years, has also been introduced to the mainland, and Star Master's "Westward Journey" has been promoted to the altar with the rise of the Internet and DVD.
The success of many consecutive movies has made the IP of Journey to the West deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it has also given a great boost to "Journey to the West".
When the trailer for "Journey to the West" was first released, it attracted a lot of people's attention. On the first day of its premiere, it averaged a ratings of 0.97 on three satellite TV stations, and its viewership share was also considerable.
And this data is just for the launch of the show. After the fourth episode of the villain Wu Tian was released, the ratings of "Journey to the West" increased to a certain extent.
The Buddha passed away, the true spirit descended to earth, the villain captured heaven and the Lingshan Mountain, and all the gods were captured and taken to the underworld, turning countless villains into gods and controlling the three realms.
Such an imaginative and emotional setting will be very attractive even in later generations, let alone now.
Many viewers were shocked by this hellish situation and wanted to see how Monkey King defeated the villain.
The main line after that will be very clear.
Wu Tian wants to dominate the three realms, but the only weakness is the reincarnated Buddha. If the true spirit of Buddha returns to his throne and collects seventeen relics at the same time, Wu Tian can be defeated.
So the villain tried every possible means to kill Qiao Ling'er. In addition to causing further trouble, the decent tried their best to protect Qiao Ling'er's safety.
In addition, there is a branch line, which is to search for the relics, and there are various battles between the good and the bad.
It is worth mentioning that the actor who plays the Buddha in "Journey to the West" is Tathagata Zhu Longguang from the 1986 version of "Journey to the West", and he is also the father of Tong, the shopkeeper of Tongfu Inn.
In fact, all the major characters in the original "Journey to the West" were well chosen, but the Tathagata Buddha had no momentum at all and was very sick and wilted.
Of course, it is also possible that the crew did this intentionally to metaphorically satirize Balabala.
But Cao Xuan still felt awkward, so he invited Zhu Longguang.
When it comes to performing Tathagata Buddha, this one ranks second. No one dares to rank first. When traveling to Thailand, monks would stop him and kowtow.
"Journey to the West" has a total of 25 episodes, and the broadcast speed is very fast. Half of it has been broadcast in less than a week. The ratings and reviews have reached over 5.0, and the audience share can also account for 15% to 18%.
Phenomenal works may not even be interesting, but they can still be called hits.
But behind the strong ratings, there was also a flood of criticism, especially from some media, who attacked the show very hard, saying that the plot in it was too shocking.
Everything else is fine. After all, "Journey to the West" has been fully upgraded and there are no technical problems. It is even better than most TV series.
In terms of plot, it is a magic drama after all. Although some people are not satisfied with it, they also admit that it has some highlights.
There is only one thing that has been criticized the most, and that is the relationship between Qiao Ling'er, the reincarnation of Tathagata Buddha, and it's a love triangle.
How can Tathagata Buddha fall in love?
The left hand is holding the hand of a female bandit named Lotus, and the right hand is holding the hand of Biyou Fairy Ni Ni Wai Wai. The children saw and asked Tathagata Buddha how many girlfriends he had, and how to answer this.
The young people were still laughing, but we couldn't laugh at all and had tears in our stomachs.
The adaptation is not random, and the details are not nonsense. Fanxing makes TV series like this, and the person named Cao has to come out to apologize...
Regarding these criticisms, Cao Xuan paid little attention to them. He paid attention because he was afraid of affecting his reputation and leading to a decline in data. He didn't pay attention because this so-called "slot" was actually nothing.
In "Westward Journey", Sun Wukong can fall in love with the Bone Demon, but Tathagata Buddha can't find two beauties when he descends to earth?
Nowadays, there is a serious conflict between old and new ideas, especially young people, who like to overthrow authority and compete with the media for the right to speak on the Internet.
"Westward Journey" is the best example. It went from being a bad movie that was criticized by the media and experts to becoming a postmodern classic.
The quality of "Journey to the West" is guaranteed in all aspects. Only one character, Qiao Ling'er, was caught and not let go, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the majority of netizens, and many people expressed their support for this drama.
As a result, "Journey to the West" has been polarized in print media and online, with one side severely criticizing it and the other side enthusiastically praising it.
Cao Xuan took a look at the ratings data and saw that there was no negative impact, so he slowly felt relieved. He also contacted Qian Yanqiu and asked him to go to several online platforms to participate in written interviews as a director and screenwriter.
These days, the Internet is gradually becoming more and more popular. Although Internet users are still a "small circle" in terms of lyrics and music, they have begun to have a certain influence of their own.
However, in the film and television industry, there are not many companies that pay attention to the Internet. Cao Xuan intends to let Fanxing be a pioneer and accumulate influence among netizens.
The popularity of "Journey to the West" has made the sale of the second-round broadcast rights of Fanxing go smoothly. Currently, many satellite TV and regional channels have come to negotiate, and even a TV station in Taiwan Province is interested in introducing it.
Pre-roll advertising is also particularly popular, Fanxing has organized a temporary advertising team internally, and its main focus is on pre-roll advertising negotiations.
Cao Xuan's goal is 5 million. If he sells less, it depends on the specific situation. If he sells more, Cao Xuan will use part of the money as a bonus.
Because of this model, the people in the advertising team are going crazy now. They want to fight 300 rounds with advertisers to get tens of millions in advertising fees.
In addition to the income for the film side, the benefits for the actors are also not low.
Ding Jian went from being a nobody to becoming the new "Monkey King" in the film and television industry. Although he is not comparable to Teacher Six, he is still the second choice for Sun Wukong.
The villain Heizi also became famous in one fell swoop, with constant acting appointments and successfully becoming a well-known actor.
But the ones who have benefited the most are Ren Quan, Huang Haibin, Juanzi and Hu Jing, these handsome men and women.
Especially Hu Jing and Ren Quan, who had just become famous in September with "Young Man Bao Qingtian", less than a month later, they have made a comeback in "Journey to the West: The Second Biography".
If Hu Jing was called a popular little girl before, it was still a bit false, but now she is worthy of her name. If she continues to settle down, she may not be able to compete for the top four.
As for Hu Jing's popularity, gossip and scandals inevitably arose. Reporters originally wanted to fire Ren Quan and her, after all, they played CP twice.
Later, it was discovered that Hu Jing was an artist signed by Fanxing and was highly praised by Cao Xuan, so she immediately changed her target.
After all, Ren Quan's popularity is much lower than that of Cao Xuan.
Soon, the scandal between Cao Xuan and Hu Jing hit the major media, and the response was moderate, but not particularly big.
Everyone is used to Cao Playboy Xuan's revelations, and they are tired of the gossip. They just want to see the real results.
Cao Xuan once again gave himself a pat on the back for this "scumbag man"'s coquettish maneuvers, which confused the public and helped him avoid many surprises.
So far, the scandal between Zeng Li and Hu Jing is not as intense as that of Mr. Zhou...
