There is even a rare professional fan group for "Wulin Gaiden", known as "Yuba". The number of fans is no less than that of ordinary first-line superstars.
And in addition to these fans of the drama, there are also countless passers-by viewers who are said to have a favorable impression of "Beyond the Martial Arts".
…………
The performance of TV dramas is graded. Those that are so bad that they lose money are called "street dramas". Generally, the ratings are below 0.8.
No loss, no profit or a small profit is called [ordinary drama], which is roughly stable at around 0.8~1.2, which is also the most popular level in the industry.
A small hit can be called a [hot drama], and the score is probably between 1.2 and 2.0.
This level is very complicated, and it also needs to calculate word-of-mouth, network performance and other factors. Sometimes, although they are at the same level, their status is very different.
If it breaks 2 or above, it is basically a "big hit drama", which can also be described as a "big hit drama".
Almost every TV series at this level is a well-known work, and the best ones can even compete for the Golden Phoenix Award at the end of the year, the highest honor in the field of TV series.
Going higher, it should be said to be [phenomenal level].
This level does not necessarily depend entirely on the ratings, but more on the impact of the work on reality.
For example, "Don't Talk to Strangers" caused a huge discussion in society about domestic violence. Although its ratings were lower than those of many TV series, it was still dubbed a "phenomenal" TV series.
The same goes for "Underground Traffic Station", Zuo Le's debut film, but the results are not that impressive now.
The average ratings were only 1.72, which didn’t even reach the threshold of 2 [hot dramas]...
But at that time, "Underground Traffic Station" and CCTV competed for the Spring Festival ratings championship, causing quite a stir, and more importantly -
"Underground Traffic Station" laid the beginning of Zuo's sitcom, and was the first step for Zuo Le to become a god in the field of television!
Reading from back to front, coupled with its historical significance, "Underground Transportation Station" barely qualifies as a "phenomenon".
In addition, Zuo Le's works can also be called "phenomenal", namely "Seven Swords" and "Crossing Guandong".
"Seven Swords" is one of the most popular martial arts dramas in China. It topped the ratings in 2018 and won numerous awards.
When it was broadcast that year, it caused a sensation in the entire East Asian cultural circle. Heir of the Seven Swords became popular in half of Asia, and set off a certain degree of martial arts craze within this range.
"Enter Guandong" has been the highest-rated period drama in the past ten years. It has been highly praised by mainstream official media. It won the ratings championship in 2020 and also won a TV star.
It was also this TV series that completely eliminated Zuo Le's aura as the strongest sitcom director and replaced him with the aura as the strongest TV drama director.
These two TV dramas deserve the title of "phenomenal level"!
Compared with them, although "Magic Phone" has excellent results, its influence is still far behind, and it can only be regarded as a top "big hit drama".
[Phenomenal level] There is another level above, which can be called [national level] TV series, or [historical level]
Each TV series of this level has a unique historical positioning. Its performance exceeds 99.99% of TV series, and its influence is unparalleled in a certain period.
The streets are empty, the whole country is talking about it, and it can maintain its classic status for a long time.
The classic version of "Journey to the West", "Desire" which defined the concept of [national level], the classic version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "The Wild Princess Finds Her Father" which became very popular in Asia at the end of the century, the first idol drama "Standing on My Head and Tears"
It won’t flow down”……
These can all be considered [national-level] TV series, and "Wulin Gaiden" is among them.
A series of TV series rankings like this may not be very objective and strict, but there is still some truth to them.
Especially the latter two have broken through the category of TV series. They are not just simple film and television works, they have their own influence and unique status in society.
That’s why it was named [phenomenon] and [national]...
………
As a rare [national-level] TV series in the entire history of film and television, the energy of "Wulin Gaiden" cannot be overemphasized.
In fact, as the most recent [national-level] TV series in China, "Wulin Gaiden" is much more influential and popular than most of the older "national-level" TV series.
When the finale of "Wulin Gaiden" ended, the first 80 chapters were told, which aroused countless people's anticipation for the next 80 chapters.
However, after waiting for a long time, there is still no news about the sequel of "Wulin Gaiden".
More than two years have passed, and Zuo Le has finished filming 4 TV series. Many people have lowered their expectations for this matter, and in serious cases, they have even given up.
Unexpectedly, Zuo Le suddenly announced the launch of the movie version of "Wulin Gaiden" project, which caught them off guard. Then there was a crazy noise, and even the scarves were packed.
You must know that Bibo is one of the largest social network platforms in China, and its company's network server has an extremely high load capacity. It can paralyze the Bibo server, even for just a few seconds, and it will be hit by a sea of traffic.
Before that, I had been paralyzed several times, most of which were celebrity news.
There are official announcements of dating, official announcements of marriage, official announcements of cheating, and the unexpected death of a popular artist. These are all big news that shock the industry.
But because a movie started shooting, this was the first time for wearing a scarf.
After the initial fierce uproar, a wave of doubts followed.
Regarding these doubts, Zuo Le selected a few important and most numerous questions and personally answered them one by one in the bib.
[Why is there no sequel to "Wulin Gaiden"? Will there be any after 80 episodes? 】
For the first time, Zuo Le publicly explained his various concerns about "Wulin Gaiden", admitting that "the first 80 chapters are complete" will become the biggest lie of "Wulin Gaiden", and sincerely apologized to all [Yuba].
[Can the movie version of "Wulin Gaiden" maintain the original style of the movie? 】
All the costumes, scenery, and props in the movie version of "Wulin Gaiden" are all original, and the style is the same as that of the TV series version.
[Are they from the original cast?]
All the leading actors are not missing.
[Is Shanhe making the movie "Wulin Gaiden" just to make money? Are there any movie plans for other IPs? 】
Zuo Le did not mention Shanhe's plans to enter the film field. He only said that the reason for making the "Wulin Gaiden" movie was mainly to give fans of the series an ending at Tongfu Inn. As for other IPs, there are no plans to release movie versions yet.
………
Zuo Le continued to speak in the scarf and comforted a lot of [Yuba].
As the director, screenwriter and star of "Wulin Gaiden", Zuo Le is undoubtedly the first creator of this drama. Therefore, he is still very prestigious among fans of the drama, and many people are willing to listen to his words.
Of course, there are also many [Yuba] who are unhappy about the disappearance of the last 80 chapters.
Together with the nickname "Zuo Lao Thief", which was originally a bit of a joke, it has now completely evolved into a literal derogatory term, and soon became Zuo Le's new nickname.
