Chapter 206 The Eye-Opening 'The Romance of the New Fengshen'
Ever since "Magic Phone" started airing on November 1st, for five consecutive days, the debate about this show has not stopped.
At the beginning, public opinion was overwhelmingly negative, with Pang Yidian and Fei Bin leading the charge, criticizing "Magic Phone" as being useless.
On the night of the 2nd and the 3rd, a large number of fans of the drama and Shanhe fans came to an end and began to speak up for "Magic Phone". The reviews of "Magic Phone" were almost evenly divided between positive and negative.
On the 4th and 5th, more and more people joined the public opinion debate. Most of these latecomers had watched the show and had their own opinions on the quality of "Magic Phone". Waiting for them to speak
After the speech, the praise has basically prevailed.
The negative reviews of "Magic Phone" are gradually receding. Except for the two places where there are some die-hards on Donghu and Douhua, the public opinion on other platforms is almost all in favor of "Magic Phone".
In this context, even though the trolls spare no effort to smear and write negative reviews, the rating of "Magic Phone" is still slowly rising.
As of the morning of the 5th, "Magic Phone" has risen from the lowest score of 7.7 to 8.0, and will enter the ranks of high-quality products.
Unlike the hard-to-rise word-of-mouth ratings, the ratings of "Magic Phone" have taken off thanks to the recent heated public opinion. After only four days of airing, the average ratings of the entire drama exceeded 2.
If it continues to grow at this rate, it's not clear whether it can threaten "Enter Guandong", but it's really not a big problem if the ratings exceed 3.
However, before that, "Magic Phone" must first compete with "New Legend of the Gods" which premiered today.
If this drama becomes a big hit and the two powers compete and it happens in the same time slot, it will definitely have a certain impact on the ratings of "Magic Phone".
…………
In fact, everyone in Shanhe, including Zuo Le, is very afraid of this "New Romance of the Gods".
This TV series, which Beijing Channel spent a lot of money on, has a very luxurious cast.
The director is top-notch in the industry, both the male and female leads are top-notch in the industry, and the second male lead is a new top actor who became famous a few years ago. There are also many veteran actors participating in the film, including two emperor-level figures and a veteran Hong Kong superstar.
.
It can be said that in terms of lineup alone, "Magic Phone" is slightly inferior.
And in addition to the luxurious lineup, the biggest selling point of "New Fengshen Romance" is the IP of Fengshen. As China's mythological IP second only to "Journey to the West", its appeal to the audience goes without saying.
If it weren't for Zuo Le's amazing achievements in recent years and everyone's confidence in him, I'm afraid more people would be interested in this drama than "Magic Phone".
On the night of November 5th, Zuo Le did not go home. Instead, he stayed in the company conference room with several senior executives of Shanhe to watch Beijing TV's "New Legend of the Gods" to find out about the enemy.
At 8 p.m., "New Legend of the Gods" starts on time
Zuo Le took out a small notebook and looked at the TV seriously, preparing to record an analysis of the pros and cons of this drama and save it for discussion at a later meeting.
At the beginning of the plot, a few witches danced to the gods, and the Sky Emperor Star suddenly fell and split into two, half of which hit the capital, and the other half of which hit the home of General Yang who was giving birth to a baby outside the city.
The witch immediately stopped dancing, and then told King Zhou, played by a veteran star in Xiangjiang, that the Emperor Star was reincarnated into a baby and would destroy Shang in the future. She immediately sent ministers to find the place where the Emperor Star fell, and then killed all the babies within a few dozen miles.
This beginning has nothing to do with "The Romance of the Gods". It's obviously an adaptation. It's not bad, nor is it amazing. There's too little plot, so I have to read on.
However, Zuo Le still found an advantage. The special effects of this drama are good. Although they are not as sophisticated as "Seven Swords" and "Magic Phone", they are still top-notch. It seems that Beijing TV has spent a lot of money.
After writing down this advantage, Zuo Le continued to look down.
After receiving the order, the minister immediately led his troops to search, and then started a massacre, massacring the village crazily.
Although Zuo Le didn't quite understand why the adults were killed when the order was clearly to kill babies, this was just a minor flaw. I guess the screenwriter wanted to reflect the cruelty of King Zhou, but unfortunately there wasn't enough foreshadowing and it seemed a bit crude and deliberate.
According to the logic of the plot, the escaped protagonist must meet the villain. Sure enough, Yao Ji was caught by the minister while running with the newborn Yang Jian. When she was about to kill him, an expert appeared and saved the mother and son.
Originally, Zuo Le thought that the new person who appeared was Yang Jian's master Yuding. Later, Yang Jian followed Yuding up the mountain to learn skills. After he succeeded, he went down the mountain to help Zhou Dynasty destroy Shang.
In addition to the original main storyline of Fengshen, a story of Yang Jian's revenge has been added to give Erlang Shen, a popular character, more roles. This is a normal modification.
However, Zuo Le obviously underestimated the screenwriter's imagination. This master is not a jade tripod, but a nine-tailed fox demon.
And the most damning thing is that this nine-tailed fox is a male fox!!!
"puff……"
Yan Kui, who was next to Zuo Le, heard that the male demon on the TV claimed to be a nine-tailed fox. He squirted water from his mouth and looked at Zuo Le in confusion. He wanted to say something, but Zuo Le stopped him.
"Then read on to see what follow-up settings may be possible."
Zuo Le originally thought that the screenwriter deliberately created a plot of falling in love and killing each other, and there was a female fox at the end. However, after watching it for five minutes, he found that the screenwriter had no such intention at all.
The nine-tailed fox is so male!
Zuo Le was silent, and what made him even more speechless was that this nine-tailed male fox was quite awesome and dared to yell at Yuanshi Tianzun.
Zuo Le originally thought that the screenwriter had enhanced the nine-tailed fox and turned it into some kind of peerless demon king, but when Yuanshi Tianzun showed his move, the guy immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.
"..."
If you want to say that this paragraph is deliberately humorous, the style and dialogue are not similar. If you want to say otherwise, then the screenwriter is really funny.
What was even more outrageous later was that Yuanshi Tianzun beat the nine-tailed fox to the ground and begged for mercy.
Faced with such a weakling, Yuanshi Tianzun wanted to save people from the nine-tailed fox, so he just killed him, but no, he had to negotiate with the fox demon, and promised a lot of conditions.
Haha, let’s just think that Yuanshi Tianzun kept the nine-tailed fox for future use.
But what Zuo Le still doesn't understand is that Yuanshi Tianzun opened his mouth to kill Yang Jian, the mother and son of Yao Ji Yang Jian who had spent so much effort to save them.
Then why don't you just let the fox demon kill you?
Yuanshi Tianzun had a very good reason to kill Yang Jian. Yang Jian was the reincarnation of the devil star. When he grew up, he would bring disaster to the world and destroy the heaven and earth. He should be eliminated early to avoid future troubles.
Let’s not talk about the bloody setting that Yang Jian is the reincarnation of the devil star. From the plot point of view, since Yang Jian is so dangerous, he should be killed quickly. As a result, Yao Ji pleads for mercy, saying that she will die for her son, and then commits suicide.
After that, Yuanshi Tianzun was moved and let Yang Jian go. Moreover, he did not keep such a time bomb in front of him and watched. Instead, he sent him down to the mortal world and gave it to Yang Jian's father and friend Su Hu to raise him.
I was forced to do so much before co-writing. Once Yao Ji died, the original Tianzun seemed to have lost his memory. When Yang Jian grows up, he may cause harm to the people. I don't care about it. I love it as much as I want.
Awesome!
Zuo Le closed the small notebook. There is no need to record this drama, just watch it for fun.
Sure enough, the plot that followed was just as Zuo Le had expected, a bloody meal.
[Yang Jian and Su Daji’s childhood sweethearts fall in love]
Both of them are also very kind-hearted, and they clearly want to pave the way for their later darkening and whitewashing.
Countless domestic dramas have failed to make a routine, but Zuo Le can figure out at a glance that the two people in the back are roughly in a dark plot, with their families broken up and their lives broken, and their love affairs.
[Nezha’s Xuanyuan Arrow turned into Xuanyuan Sword and was given to Yang Jian]
This Xuanyuan Sword, as well as the Purple Green Sword, cannot be pulled out unless one is destined to be a person of destiny, but it is too powerful and a bit embarrassing to the Yellow Emperor.
[King Wu Jifa likes to go out to fight for justice, and also advocates equality for everyone]
Okay, anyway, Mingjun in domestic dramas talks about Western democratic ideas every day, and everyone is used to it.
[Su Hu is a violent psychopath]
The plot of King Zhou asking for Daji was clearly in the original work that King Zhou was innocent and greedy, but the scriptwriter was asked to make this part the same as if Su Hu himself was causing trouble.
After Zuo Le looked at it, he felt that King Zhou was right to send troops to fight against him, but he just needed to be punished.
…………
After watching two episodes of "New Legend of the Gods", Zuo Le directly announced that everyone would go back to their homes and the discussion meeting scheduled after watching the show would be cancelled.
It’s not that Zuo Le is looking down on others, but as far as the quality of “New Romance of the Gods” is concerned, “Magic Phone” can crush it even if its score is cut in half.
Are there still meetings to discuss?
He felt that these two hours of watching the drama were a waste. It would be great if he could have this time to go home and hug his girlfriend to sleep...
