Chapter 184: From Poetry and Songs to the Philosophy of Life
The filming of "Magic Phone" is in full swing, and the time has come to July 2020.
From this point on, the author makes up the rest of the plot at random.
July is a holiday for students in universities, middle schools and primary schools, and it is also a prime time in the film and television industry.
If we talk about the film industry, there is still a Lunar New Year festival where we can compete with them to see who is number one.
But in the TV drama industry, the summer season is the undisputed hegemon, and the Spring Festival season can only follow behind and be the younger brother.
Since it is the best time period, it means fierce competition. According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 40 TV series and online dramas broadcast in the two months of summer this year.
After deducting most of the ones that make up the numbers, there are no less than 10 games left that can be played.
Among them, the one that is most favored by the industry is, as mentioned earlier, the remake of "The Wild Princess Finds Her Father" by Shonan Channel.
Next is a lawyer urban drama "Gold Medal". The plot is not worth mentioning, but the cast can still be mentioned.
They are all handsome young and middle-aged men, the so-called girl/teacher killers.
That's right, except for a few who are serious about working on these kind of workplace elite dramas with a lot of handsome guys, most of the producers are targeting female audiences.
They are one of the most powerful drama-watching and viewing groups.
Although the reputation of this kind of drama is generally not very good, the ratings and online broadcast volume are not too low, they are above average, and in a few cases they can become big hits.
The third one is the CCTV drama "After the Battle" that I mentioned before.
If "Gold Medal" is aimed at female viewers, this one is mainly targeting middle-aged and elderly people and history enthusiasts. Coupled with the huge scale of CCTV, the ratings prospects are very good.
Unfortunately, because it is a main theme, it has not attracted much attention from netizens. As a result, the topic on the Internet seems a bit low, especially compared with the villain version of "The Wild Princess Finds Her Father" and "Gold Medal", the gap is astonishing.
The fourth is "The Story of College Students" which was the first hit of Shanhe in the second half of the year.
To be honest, director Xue Jun was very surprised that "The Story of a College Student" was ranked fourth on the industry's most promising summer film list.
The starring cast of "The Story of a College Student", except for one Jiang Chao, is basically all newcomers with little reputation.
This is very disadvantageous, especially in the early stage of publicity.
Without celebrity representatives, there is no topic. Without topic, there is no attention. Without attention, there is no achievement.
You know, the leading casts of the first three TV series are all star actors. Of course, the first two are popular celebrities, and the latter two are veteran actors.
Behind "The Story of a College Student", there are also several TV series starring first-line stars.
The main reason why such a well-known creative team can reach the forefront of TV series starring many stars is because——
"The Story of College Students" is a sitcom produced by Shanhe.
The Traffic Station Duology, "Stories of the Cooking Team 12", "Family with Children 123", "Stories of the Health Team 12", and "Wulin Gaiden", which is known as the pinnacle of sitcoms.
Most of these sitcoms that have become popular in recent years are produced by Shanhe, and others are also closely related.
The long-term guarantee of high-quality products makes Shanhe (Zuo Le)'s appeal in the field of sitcoms absolutely unparalleled.
Although the cast of "Story of a College Student" this time includes mostly newcomers and is not directed by Zuo Le, Zuo Le is one of the producers and chief screenwriters, and to a certain extent, it is recognized by many sitcom fans.
There's nothing you can do if you don't approve. Zuo Le doesn't make sitcoms now and doesn't do his job every day. The sitcoms produced by other companies are of varying quality.
Nowadays, except for "Family with Children" which is fixed every year, everyone has fallen into a situation comedy drought.
Now we finally have a sitcom produced by Shanhe, how can we not be enthusiastic about it?
Although Xue Jun is not as good as Zuo Le and Gao Xinjian, he has previously filmed two "The Story of the Health Team" and is considered a good sitcom director in the industry, and the subject matter is a relatively lovable college campus theme.
It’s hard to say whether it will be a hit or not, but with the base of sitcom fans that are growing this year, there is still a lot of hope for good results even if the summer season is full of competition.
…………
The industry's optimism makes Shanhe and the main creative lineup of "College Student Story" more excited.
Under the arrangement of Yan Kui and Dongshan TV, Xue Jun and the leading actors of "The Story of College Students" began to promote. For this reason, Zuo Le reluctantly gave Shen Teng a few days' leave.
"Story of College Students" is scheduled to premiere on July 15th, which happens to be a week or two after most college students are on vacation.
Since it is a sitcom with daily themes for college students, the audience for the TV series, in addition to sitcom fans, should also consider college students.
Although college students don't watch much TV, watching TV dramas online is still very popular.
On July 15th, college students generally enter the holiday state.
The initial excitement and excitement of returning home for the holidays has completely disappeared, and the happiness of my family has turned into disgust. I slowly began to miss the free school life and the unreliable roommates.
At this time, "Stories of College Students" is online, allowing college students who stay at home to see the daily funny life of college students. The timing is just right.
In order to score points, "The Story of a College Student" racked its brains and carefully arranged the premiere time.
In comparison, the remake of "Wild Princess" is much more reckless.
In order to seize the opportunity, on July 7th, before the summer vacation has even begun, "The Wild Princess Finds Her Father" will resolutely begin its premiere.
The two heroines, Hua Magpie and White Lotus, who were very popular in Asia, are back online after more than 20 years.
Then, only two days after it aired, the new version of "The Wild Princess Finds Her Father" was scolded like crazy.
From looking at the snow, looking at the stars, looking at the moon, from poems and songs to talking about the philosophy of life, I am broken and you are broken, I won’t go into too many shocking lines.
Back then, when there was a lack of information, it might have been "eye-catching", but many years later in 2020, all you want to see is someone taking an iron to smooth out the frown.
At the same time, Quancheng Xiaoming Lake Feng Ping was murdered again...
However, although these lines are ridiculous, they are classics of the year and can be used as jokes, so they are not a big problem. What really caused the audience's dissatisfaction was the destruction of the image of their childhood "idol".
Childhood has a filter. When everyone was ignorant, they watched "The Wild Princess Finds Her Father" as much as they liked. Although it was criticized like crazy later, everyone still has a good memory.
Under such circumstances, it will be difficult for actors to subvert the character image that has been deeply ingrained in the audience's mind.
Not to mention, for the sake of traffic, the remake of "The Wild Princess Finds Her Daddy" stars high-traffic fresh flowers. Although they have many fans, their acting skills...different people have different opinions.
No matter what you say about the original version, the strength of most of the actors is still worthy of recognition, otherwise it would not be remembered by the audience.
But in today's remake, the plot is unattractive, the lines are too cliche, and the leading actor's acting is terrible. Except for some bright spots in Fu Hua Dao, the rest is simply hard to describe.
In the words of an avid fan of "The Wild Princess Finds Her Father", the remake is like force-feeding Xiang. He would rather review the original version with mediocre graphics than take a look at the remake.
From its premiere on July 7 to one week later, the remake of "The Wild Princess Finds Her Dad" has an average ratings of 1.24 and a Douhua score of 4.3.
The reputation is a mess, and although the ratings are not bad, compared to the previous expectations of a rating of 2 to 3, it is really unsatisfactory.
The most promising TV series in the summer season has been sold out, which has put a lot of pressure on the remaining TV series, especially "The Story of a College Student" which is about to premiere...
