The plot of "Da Ranfang" is not complicated. It takes the character Chen Liuzi as the main line and tells the story of his founding of industry, which in turn reflects the story of the entire nation's industry at that time.
Using points to illustrate, it expresses from a side perspective how the national industry rose and prospered during the Republic of China, and then declined.
In just 24 episodes, "Da Ranfang" contains a large number of business war dramas, character dramas, ethnic backgrounds and era disputes, which can be said to be full of useful information.
Such a fast plot rhythm shortens the number of episodes, but it also has a good effect on increasing ratings.
"Da Ranfang" only aired for four days, and it reached 2.12. Although the speed is not as fast as the perverted "Bright Sword", it is definitely eye-catching.
However, although the ratings of "The Big Dye" are rising steadily, the popularity of discussions online is not very high.
In this film and television environment where the overall trend has begun to transform towards pan-entertainment, it is inevitable that serious dramas will not be popular.
Of course, the main drama is not without the soil for survival, otherwise "Da Ranfang" would not have the results it has now.
At present, on domestic TV platforms, period dramas such as "Enter Guandong" and "Da Ran Fang" are still very popular, and among TV platforms, there are few themes that can withstand word-of-mouth.
For example, the remaining anti-war, hometown, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and some so-called workplace themes, although the ratings are not necessarily low, they rarely have good reputation.
In comparison, TV dramas popular on online platforms have relatively more themes, which can be said to be a hundred flowers blooming.
Of course, the most mainstream ones are youth idol dramas first, followed by workplace dramas, costumed fairy tales, and fantasy dramas.
Most of the works in these themes can also be lumped together into one category - love drama.
Watching TV dramas, it’s okay if there’s no love and romance part…
Except for a few monk dramas, 99% of TV dramas do not lack the element of love.
Of course, everything is too much, and too much pursuit of adding elements of advocating love in the drama will often lead to the drama turning the cart before the horse, and thus confusing the main line of the entire drama.
If it's a romantic drama, it doesn't matter. What the audience is watching is the male and female protagonists messing around. But if the main selling point of the TV drama is not love, it will easily lead to criticism from the audience.
Nowadays, domestic dramas as a whole have a bad reputation, and the wanton inclusion of love elements in dramas is one of the main reasons.
In addition, with the rise of online dramas in the past two years, brain-burning suspense dramas have gradually begun to rise.
These brain-burning suspense dramas, because of the meticulous polishing of the scripts, basically as long as the finished product is not bad, the reputation will be good or above.
Last year, nearly a quarter of Douhua’s TV series rated 8 or higher were brain-burning suspense dramas, and this does not include spy dramas.
………
Under such an environmental background, the broadcast of "The Great Dyes" on a TV platform is the best result. As for the popularity of the Internet, it is really impossible to force it.
Don't look at the fact that "Bright Sword" became a hit both online and offline before. That's because "Bright Sword" is interesting and has many famous scenes. Many young people like it.
As for "Crossing Guandong", which is a drama of the same period as "Da Ranfang", the scene is more the same, that is -
The ratings and reputation are impressive, but its online influence is inferior to popular themes of the same level.
In this regard, "Enter Guandong" is even slightly inferior to "Seven Swords", which has much lower ratings than it.
This can be regarded as an obvious weakness of the period dramas, and it is also an important reason why the number of dramas has become increasingly scarce.
Nowadays, in addition to ambitious film and television companies and self-produced TV stations that also shoot such period dramas, ordinary small film and television companies or companies that are purely focused on making money rarely touch this subject.
Even though it is claimed to be a period drama, the actual quality is about the same as ordinary local dramas, or even worse.
At present, among the domestic units/companies that produce serious dramas related to history, era, etc., CCTV is the first choice, as this is also their specialty.
CCTV's dominance is not just a boast. Although it occasionally breaks through the lower limit, the overall average quality of the TV series it broadcasts is the highest among many domestic TV stations.
Every year for new year's dramas and summer movies, the lowest one is an 8-point masterpiece. When the momentum is at its peak, there will be almost 3 to 4 high-quality movies, and 9-point masterpieces are also common.
Nearly half of them are dramas.
Under CCTV, there were originally a few companies with a decent reputation, but when Shanhe rose, they occupied the second position.
"Enter Guandong", "Bright Sword", and even "The Miracle Doctor Xilaile", which is not so strict and can barely be included, are all well-known TV series.
The lowest score is over 2 [Big Bang], and the highest score is over 6 [national level] TV series.
With many successful works in succession, Shanhe has accumulated a certain reputation in the hearts of the audience, and everyone instinctively believes in the quality of the dramas produced by Shanhe.
In this regard, CCTV is slightly inferior.
After all, CCTV still occasionally makes mistakes, but Shanhe has maintained a very high level in terms of drama quality so far.
…………
Now, the newly released "Da Ranfang" has achieved excellent reputation, maintaining the quality level of Shanhe's dramas and continuing Shanhe's excellent reputation in dramas.
At the same time, the audience and the industry also gave high praise to Shanhe's ability to produce dramas.
In the final analysis, although the film and television industry has gradually focused on money over the years, it is still a bit high-spirited at heart.
High ratings and high ratings will never be as good as high word of mouth. Those who play art have always despised commercial streams.
Not to mention movies, in the field of TV dramas, serious dramas related to the era and history, not to mention the gold content, are firmly ranked first, but at least ranked in the top two.
There are several well-known directors in the field of TV dramas, and almost all of them have a high-quality, serious drama under their belt.
Although Zuo Le initially entered the circle of top TV drama bosses with "Seven Swords" and "Wulin Gaiden", it was not until the release of "Enter Guandong" that he completely consolidated his position.
This shows the importance of serious dramas in the industry and in the hearts of some audiences.
The fact that Shanhe can now carry such a brand is of great benefit to the entire company, and it has invisibly expanded Shanhe's reputation and status in the industry.
This is an influence that is difficult to obtain even if you make ten idol dramas that break 2.
Some people have even begun to call for Sunward to make a major historical production. They have confidence in Sunward.
But Zuo Le was very calm.
Large-scale historical TV series are not made casually. It is not that no one has tried in the past two years, but except for a few CCTV series that have achieved acceptable results, the others have ended in failure.
Historical dramas and costume dramas are not the same thing. The water here is very deep.
Costumes, props, locations, the size of the filming crew, various historical facts and details, and the setting of historical figures. If you make a mistake, you will be criticized.
Zuo Le is also a semi-history enthusiast. He usually browses various history-related information on some platform forums such as Zhihu. He is quite familiar with the pickiness and combat effectiveness of some history fans.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is definitely the top echelon in the network. If the internal divisions were not too serious, it could even be ranked first.
What's more, there are a large group of professional history experts and scholars, and these people have greater energy.
With Shanhe's current capabilities, it would be a bit difficult to make a "Bright Sword" film, and making a historical large-scale production would be like a snake swallowing an elephant.
If one of them is not good, he will be tortured (sprayed) to death.
Zuo Le still cherishes his current reputation. If he is not fully sure, he will not end easily.
In comparison, period dramas are obviously simpler. The perspective is limited to the protagonist and other people, and the screenwriters and directors have ample room for development, and it is not that easy for others to find faults.
Therefore, Zuo Le’s current planning policy is that in the short term, the main dramas produced by Shanhe will be period dramas.
Zuo Le found that Kong Sheng was very good at this, and planned to let him delve into serious dramas and realistic themes in the future.
"Serious Case Group 3" was handed over to Wang Qian for filming. Kong Sheng was idle for the rest of the time, waiting for him to rest for a while. After resting, Zuo Le planned to let him shoot a new drama.
There is already a script, a serious drama and a realistic theme, he can choose according to his mood.
