037 Everyone scolds Ximen Qing, everyone wants to be Ximen Qing
In the seventeenth and eighteenth episodes of "Water Margin", the hookup scene between Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing set off the ratings peak of the entire drama.
It is said that the highest ratings are approaching 90%.
It’s unclear how much water it contains, but it’s definitely the two most popular episodes of “Water Margin” since it was launched.
Afterwards, various experts and media wrote articles to analyze the behavioral motivations, backgrounds and human levels of the characters Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing.
Look carefully, there are three words written between the lines——
Get the heat!
Wang Siyi and Cao Xuan, who played Pan Jinlian, became famous throughout the country overnight.
When Cao Xuan walked onto the street again, dozens of times more people recognized him than before.
However, most people cannot call him by his name, but call him affectionately.
"A high official from Ximen."
"Ximen Qing."
Of course, it was more of a contemptuous name, especially after it was broadcast that Ximen Qing, Pan Jinlian and others killed Wu Dalang, Cao Xuan felt the "malice" of the entire world.
"Tsk tsk (contemptuous face)."
"Pooh!"
"Stay away from him, it's not a good thing."
"Are you Ximen Qing?"
"..."
Cao Xuan seems to understand why many actors in this era are reluctant to play villains.
The audience is really into the drama!
Fortunately, younger audiences can distinguish between the inside and outside of the play, but for the older ones, many people really regarded Cao Xuan as Ximen Qing.
Cao Xuan has lived in Dashizuo Hutong for half a year. He is usually a neighbor on the street. Now after the broadcast of "Water Margin", the neighborhood committee aunt comes to patrol every day.
There was even a kind-hearted old lady next door who came to educate Cao Xuan and told him to behave properly and not to do anything frivolous, otherwise he would be reported to the organization to arrest him.
It can be said that Cao Xuan has been surrounded by Chaoyang people.
Cao Xuan even considered letting Hu Jing and Young Master Zeng Li come to his home in the future. Otherwise, if they blocked the door, his lifelong reputation would be in vain...
Apart from the audience who were entranced by the show, the ones who scolded Cao Xuan the most were the old men who coveted Pan Jinlian.
Since they couldn't kiss Fangze, they would scold Cao Xuan for taking advantage.
Just as he said, everyone scolds Ximen Qing and everyone wants to be Ximen Qing.
Of course, there are those who criticize and those who support.
Although Ximen Qing is not a good person, Cao Xuan's appearance is still very good.
At any time, there is no shortage of audiences whose facial features are greater than their three views. In the past, Cao Xuan rarely showed up, but this time with the phenomenal hit drama "Water Margin", he has attracted a wave of fans.
Whether it is praise or criticism, as soon as "Water Margin" aired, Cao Xuan became his own masterpiece in the film and television industry and became a "familiar face" in the eyes of the audience.
Coupled with his reputation in the music industry, he presumably already has the capital to get into the sights of some directors and producers.
After the Spring Festival, Cao Xuan estimates that he will be able to receive some script invitations.
………
On January 17, the nineteenth episode of "Water Margin" was broadcast.
Wu Song finally returned and began to investigate the cause of Wu Dalang's death. He set up a Hongmen Banquet and Pan Jinlian was kicked.
Immediately afterwards is the fight in the Lion Tower to kill Ximen Qing.
Wu Song beat Ximen Qing violently, then raised Ximen Qing with one hand, and Ximen Qing begged for mercy with his mouth full of blood.
"Hero, spare my life."
"It's easy to spare you, but I can give my brother his life."
After that, he slammed Ximen Qing to the ground, and then chopped off his head with a knife, causing blood to splash everywhere.
"Well done!"
“Enjoyable!”
"happy!"
"What a relief!"
"Killing decisively, Wu Song is truly a man of heaven!"
There were loud cheers in front of TV sets all over the country, especially the BGM suona, which made the audience feel happy after seeing the previous depression of seeing the bad guys succeed.
If "Water Margin" still has some tenderness towards Pan Jinlian, it describes her unhappy marriage, being deceived, etc.
Ximen Qingze does not show any innocence in the play, he is completely a womanizer who brings his own fault.
Therefore, when Pan Jinlian died, some people secretly felt sorry for her.
But when Ximen celebrated his death, except for a few fans who thought it was too early to end, most of them spat and cursed.
Green people will always be killed.
In a word, Huang Mao will die!!!
Cao Xuan sat in front of the TV and saw off the high official from Ximen in person.
It was quite novel to see the character you played on TV being beaten to death.
He didn't mean to feel sorry for the high-ranking officials, but he just felt a little sore after seeing his own face being pressed and beaten by Wu Song in the play.
After Jin Lian and Ximen Daguanren went offline, the ratings of "Water Margin" began to fall back to normal, which once again verified who is the C-position in handling ratings.
At this time, as "Water Margin" continued to air, some criticism began to appear in newspapers.
Compared with the other three classics, "Water Margin" has an unflattering conception. It is essentially a bandit wearing a "hero" cloak. It has always been the most controversial work of the four classics.
Although "Water Margin" has many highlights, as mentioned earlier, it is too short, a large number of plots are deleted, and there are some relatively original portrayals of some characters.
The worst thing was "Dream of Red Mansions", which caused a siege from the entire red academic circle, and several big-shot consultants from the crew were singled out and scolded one by one.
In fact, the criticisms of these experts, except for some invited "bricks", many people are not slandering and disdainful of the TV series.
On the contrary, it is regret and dissatisfaction for not reaching the highest standards, which is similar to the emotion of hating that iron cannot be made into steel.
Otherwise, if you look at the new version of "A Dream of Brothel", many big-shot red scholars won't bother to scold it.
It's so bad that even scolding it makes one's mouth dirty.
Ignoring is the best form of humiliation!
Regarding the controversy, the crew of "Water Margin" was well prepared before the broadcast, and director Zhang Zhaolin even prepared for the worst.
Nowadays, "Water Margin" has been criticized by many people, but there are also many voices of support and affirmation.
Ratings data and feedback from viewers’ calls and letters also prove that TV series are quite popular among ordinary people.
After all, TV dramas are mass entertainment, and the voices of the cultural community come second to the audience.
As long as the audience likes it, the drama "Water Margin" will be considered a success...
………
On January 22, the popularity of "Water Margin" continued to rise. It had already won the rebroadcast rights for the second round of rebroadcasts, and once again ranked first in ratings for the same period.
Li Xuejian, who was famous nationwide for "Desire", has once again become the center of discussion.
But this time it was not a compliment, but a scold.
Song Jiang and Li Xuejian, the actor who played him, suddenly became the sinners pointed out by thousands of people.
There was a grumpy old man in Hunan Province. When he saw Song Jiang surrendering, he was so angry that he smashed the TV. Later, he made the news.
In Lu Province, the hometown of the Liangshan heroes, people were even more excited, and some people even spread rumors.
If Li Xuejian doesn't return to Lu Province, that's all. If he comes back, I'll beat him to death!
The whole country was criticizing "Song Jiang" so much that even Cao Xuan, who had experienced it before, was silently speechless and called Li Xuejian to comfort him.
Li Xuejian was in a good mood, but he was a little envious that Cao Xuan could go back to his hometown in Lu Province to celebrate the New Year.
When he said this, Cao Xuan suddenly woke up.
My family hates Song Jiang and will beat him to death if he dares to come back. Then his character Ximen Qing is not likeable either. I won’t be sacked when I go back.
Cao Xuan hesitated for the first time about his choice to go home for the New Year this year...
