The two new episodes of "Bright Sword" are very influential. After they were broadcast, they caused widespread heated discussion online and offline.
Especially the section [Cavalry Company, Attack] was edited and posted by netizens on various online platforms, and it immediately became a hit.
Short video platforms such as Douyin, Shoushou, and CoinZhan are bombarding the screen, and the number of views has increased rapidly. Basically, they are ranked within the top five on the hot list.
Such high popularity has also attracted many viewers who have never watched "Bright Sword", and they successfully got into the trap half-heartedly.
In addition to the surge in attention, the clip [Cavalry Company, Attack], the most important thing is that it gave "Bright Sword" a good reputation, and the Douhua score increased by 0.2 overnight.
As mentioned before, anti-war dramas have never been very popular in terms of reputation. In the past 10 years, I can count on half a hand the number of high-quality anti-war dramas with a Douhua score of 8.0 or above.
This is certainly due to the shoddy workmanship of most of the crew, but it is also partly due to the large-scale discrimination and resistance to the main theme of the domestic film and television audience.
As for Douhua, as the platform forum where the largest film and television audience group is located in China, both the official and the users have similar psychology.
In Douhua, for any film with a theme theme, the instinct score should be reduced between 0.2 and 0.5. If the plot has a strong singing element, the score will be even higher.
Because of Douhua's attributes, it has been criticized by users of other platforms. Even within Douhua, there are often disagreements over this, and there will be loud quarrels from time to time.
When "Bright Sword" first aired, it also suffered a small loss, with a premiere rating of only 8.7.
Although this score is lower than other anti-war dramas and is amazing, but comparing the quality of "Bright Sword" and the reputation of director Zuo Le, it is obviously a bit low.
It’s hard to say that this is not attributable to Douhua’s old habit of conflicting with its users’ main theme.
Later, the performance of "Bright Sword" exploded and its reputation fermented. However, it only increased by 0.1 points in two days. Compared with Zuo Le's previous works, it was obviously fishy.
Shanhe has begun to prepare for action. Douhua is not Douban who is completely controlled by the literary youth and the Gossip Party.
As a recognized film and television rating agency in the industry, it can even influence the selection of the Golden Phoenix and Golden Dragon awards. There is support from the cultural community behind it.
When the government is doing things, no matter how it looks, it must be clean in appearance.
In the past, those companies that suffered losses did not have a high voice and did not dare to offend this "behemoth" that could determine the life or death of a film and television production and those powerful Douhua users.
But Shanhe is not afraid.
With Zuo Le's current status, he can already represent the voice of some people in the industry. If he publicly questions the fairness and objectivity of Douhua's ratings, it will be a big blow to Douhua.
This is not without precedent. In the past, there have been several famous directors who have had verbal disputes with Douhua over whether the ratings of their works were fair, and some even went to court. Douhua lost more than he won.
There is no way, the platform is too big, and the users on it are mixed. If you grasp a few pain points, Douhua's lawsuit will definitely be lost.
Not to mention, Zuo Le was in charge this time, and it was Dali.
The words "contradicting the main theme" really need to be stretched too far. If the hat is slapped, even if Douhua is still there, it is estimated that half of the top management will have to be replaced.
So Zuo Le is really not afraid of Douchi, and is even a little eager to try it.
The last time "Magic Phone" was released, Douhua's group of anti-fans disgusted him, but at that time Luo Qian was the mastermind, and the quality of "Magic Phone" was indeed not that outstanding, so Zuo Le didn't deliberately target it.
But this time "Bright Sword" is different, it is clearly suppressing himself. If Zuo Le is scared, how will he survive in the circle in the future.
Therefore, before the broadcast of [Cavalry Company, Attack], Shanhe was preparing to give Douhua a hard blow. Zuo Lerun wrote several "Essays begging for Douhua" and they were all stored in the draft box of the bib, and he would publish them as soon as possible when he planned to fight.
.
As a result, the situation suddenly changed overnight.
I don’t know whether the old viewers changed their ratings or whether new viewers came to help. The rating of "Bright Sword" rose directly to 9.0 points, ranking as a masterpiece, and it continues to rise.
Zuo Le and Shanhe's preparations suddenly became useless.
You must know that in Douhua, 9-point masterpieces and 8-point masterpieces are two different concepts. Every 9-point masterpiece is a classic handed down from generation to generation.
No matter how excellent Zuo Le feels, "Bright Sword" cannot be included in the masterpieces, but it still feels aggrieved. So where to place those high-quality TV series? What was originally reasonable has become unreasonable.
Zuo Le felt quite resentful, feeling that he finally caught a good opportunity but allowed Douhua to escape the disaster. However, several senior officials at Shanhe who knew the inside story were very happy.
Douhua suppressed the ratings of "Bright Sword" and harmed the interests of Shanhe. I haven't said that, and I will definitely do it.
But nowadays, "conquering the enemy without fighting", no matter what the reason, is more cost-effective than wasting time and effort on fighting. Wouldn't it be better to save more energy and make more money?
When doing business, it is best to put harmony first.

On May 5, 2021, episodes 9 and 10 of "Bright Sword" will be aired. These two episodes are mainly foreshadowing, but there are also many highlights.
For example, Xiu Qin chased Lao Li, and the Northern Shanxi Iron Triangle was bragging for the first time. But the funniest thing was when Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei made a big fuss in the county town and threw an unforgettable birthday party for Ichiro Hirata.
To be honest, this plot is a bit dramatic and exaggerated. Two dignified captains join forces to cause trouble in the county town, and the four people escape unscathed in the heavily guarded county town. It even has the flavor of a divine drama.
But at the same time, I have to admit that this part was shot particularly well, even among the entire drama "Bright Sword" with countless famous scenes, it ranks among the best.
Monk Wei also gained countless fans due to this episode, which caused countless people to feel uneasy when he died.
Watching the Japanese translator deliver his birthday speech, the two "Tubal Road" monks Monk and Li Yunlong were eating and drinking, Chu Yunfei and a certain military elite couldn't help but laugh.
The contrast effect is particularly strong, and the lines are also very funny.
"What is this kid talking about? He is wiping his nose and tears."
"It's not all right, I think I'm crying."
"He also has a mother. I thought he jumped out of a crack in the rocks."
"Hey, hey, why did you pick up the plate?"
"I said, can you eat slowly and leave some for me?"
"Look at the way you eat, ah, how embarrassing you are when you eat. This is a banquet, and everyone is civilized. Look at you, how embarrassing you are."
"Your food looks are no better than mine."
"..."
He is humorous and at the same time exudes a strong sense of domineering. He is in the enemy's camp and regards all enemies as nothing.
Immediately after Zhao Gang got angry, Lao Li bribed him with roast chicken and wine, which invisibly showed the hardship of the base area and the growing comradeship between Li and Zhao.
After two episodes were aired, the ratings of "Bright Sword" surged to 3.3, and the momentum was still strong. However, a lot of attention that night and the next day was lost to a new drama.
