This martial arts drama has created the best results since Zuo Le directed it.
The average ratings of the whole drama are 2.97
Douhua score 9.2
The total number of views on the online streaming platform exceeded 10 billion.
It became the most popular TV series in 2018, setting off the "Seven Swords" craze in China.
Zuo Le has used his astonishing achievements to prove that in addition to being good at filming sitcoms, he is also a leader in martial arts dramas, and has also been recognized and praised by his peers in the industry.
Some people assert that Zuo Le is the number one director in China under the age of 35 in terms of TV dramas.
This statement received responses from many people. Later, some people gradually brought in several other famous young directors to compare with Zuo. Finally, a big discussion was formed in the circle about who is the first director of the younger generation.
Zuo Le is slightly at a disadvantage in this ranking of "the number one director of the younger generation" because he makes TV series, while the others all make movies.
In the entire world of film and television circles, there has always been a chain of contempt between movies and television. There is even a saying that TV series are entertainment and movies are art.
The status of film directors and film actors in the industry has always been slightly higher than that of television directors and actors.
Zuo Le can squeeze into the so-called "first director of the younger generation" category by virtue of his achievements in TV series. In the eyes of many people, Zuo Le's ability is already very certain.
However, Zuo Le himself is not very interested in this selection. Those who are the first and second among the younger generation, who do not deserve to eat or drink, are all in vain, and he is too lazy to fight.
However, in the subsequent online voting on this topic launched by Zhihu, the famous host Tian Yan voted for Zuo Le using his own account.
But according to Tian Yan herself, she had no knowledge of the matter and someone should have secretly used her mobile phone to operate it...
…………
Zuo Le's fame has soared because of "Seven Swords", and the actors who participated in "Seven Swords" have also become very popular.
Among them, the most popular three handsome men and beauties, Yuan Ye, Shui Miaomiao and Gu Xiaoge, are no less popular than those popular buddies, especially Gu Xiaoge, who has now faintly moved closer to the top.
However, compared to those top-notch celebrities who are both popular and black, and are not only admired by fans but also notorious among passers-by, Gu Xiaoge himself has a very good reputation.
Many passers-by also expressed their approval for his acting skills. In addition, it was revealed that Gu Xiaoge studied abroad at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in England and acted in a stage play in London's West End, giving him an aura of high academic qualifications and good acting skills.
With top traffic, good acting skills and good reputation, Gu Xiaoge's future is bright.
Shanhe also poured more resources into him. Zuo Le personally stepped in to help Gu Xiaoge obtain a top-level film resource. It can be said that it was a lot of effort.
However, no matter how popular Gu Xiaoge is, Shanhe's first brother is still his second uncle.
There is no way, the boss’ uncle is awesome!
In addition to the popularity of the actors, all the scenic spots appearing in "Seven Swords" are also popular.
The broadcast of "Seven Swords" coincided with the National Day holiday. Many fans came to check in at the scenes that appeared in the play, and the people in charge of each scenic spot laughed so hard that they couldn't even see their eyes.
Several scenic spots such as Liujiajie, Shennongjia, and Mount Emei even built the "Xiaoxiang Inn", "Liuqi Pavilion", and "Baicao Valley-Ten Miles Bamboo Forest" in the drama directly in reality to attract tourists.
However, some people complain that Zuo Le is too destructive and destroys every scene in the TV series. He is simply a demolition maniac. Descendants of the Seven Swords should also be called the Seven Swords Demolition Team.
Zuo Le was apologizing for himself in the scarf. He wanted to remind everyone to care for the environment, and at the same time, he was also promoting the scenic spot. The show was so popular that everyone could go and enjoy the scenery in person in real life.
This wave of explanations obviously cannot stop netizens from making jokes. Zuo Le's title of demolition maniac will not be taken off for a while.
…………
After the premiere of "Seven Swords" ended, Dongshan Satellite TV immediately bought the second-round rebroadcast rights of "Seven Swords" and planned to put it in a sub-prime time slot to continue attracting attention.
Zuo Le has also begun to prepare for the animation of "Seven Swords" and has contacted an animation production company with a good reputation in the industry.
The name of this company is Rainbow Room. Although it has not been established for a long time, the two animations produced are of top quality. Zuo Le has already seen the first draft of the "Seven Swords" character animation designed by the other party and is very satisfied.
If nothing else happens, the animation of "Seven Swords" will be produced by Rainbow Room Company.
It is worth mentioning that since there is already a live-action version, the "Seven Swords" animation is a 2D animation, but the overall style is relatively realistic.
Zuo Le originally intended to try IP operation initially. The requirements for the "Seven Swords" animation were not high, so he could just make back the original investment, and it would be better to make a small profit.
With the huge popularity of TV series as support, this wish is not difficult to realize.
What is even more surprising is that a Japanese TV station called "nkn" contacted Sunward Pictures and offered US$5 million to purchase the overseas copyright of "Seven Swords".
Due to various reasons such as cultural habits and lack of channels, Chinese TV dramas have never been very popular overseas.
Fortunately, Hong Kong and Taiwan were popular in Asia in the 1980s and 1990s, and they have a lot of old foundations. However, the mainland TV drama market started too late, and the quality is uneven, so except for a few popular dramas, few of them can go abroad.
Zuo Le's previous films were all sitcoms, most of which were about the Anti-Japanese War and military themes. The subject matter was inherently limited, so there was no overseas attention at all.
But this time "Seven Swords" is different.
Thanks to several masters of Jin Gu Liang Wen, martial arts culture has a wide influence in East Asia. Many people in Southeast Asia such as Japan, South Korea and Siam are very fond of martial arts culture.
Later, after the Golden Age of Hong Kong, countless excellent martial arts movies swept across Asia, cultivating many movie fans in East Asia.
Art is interconnected. "Seven Swords" can be a hit in China, but who can guarantee that it won't be equally popular in Japan?
So, it happened that nkn TV station came to buy overseas copyrights...
…………
Five million U.S. dollars is not a lot, but considering that "Seven Swords" has already been broadcast, resources are everywhere, and nkn TV station promised to dub it by itself, without Shanhe having to worry about it, Zuo Le thought about it and nodded in agreement.
However, Zuo Le also solemnly stated that the US$5 million was limited to Japan, and other overseas copyrights were still owned by Shanhe.
nkn TV station was a little reluctant and tried to fight for it, but Zuo Le was resolute and had no choice but to give in.
At the same time, the person in charge of nkn, Matsumoto Yi, who came to negotiate this time, also fell in love with the drama "Family with Children" and wanted to introduce it to Japan. However, he did not have enough authority and had to go back and discuss with his superiors.
Zuo Le naturally welcomed this, and also strongly recommended Traffic Station Part Two to Matsumoto Yi. After watching a few episodes, Matsumoto Yi expressed his gratitude.
On October 29, the official website of "Seven Swords" officially announced that Japan's nkn TV station has introduced "Seven Swords". It is currently being re-dubbed and is expected to be broadcast in January next year.
After this incident was reported, there was quite a stir on the Internet. The official media also published a special article, affirming the achievements of Shanhe Films in exporting Chinese culture overseas, saying that it promoted cultural exchanges between China and Ying.
A lot of praise and a lot of praise.
At the same time, many netizens are looking forward to "Seven Swords" becoming popular again in Japan and bringing glory to the country.
