Chapter 355 'Detective Di Renjie', which became popular
The ratings for the premiere of "Detective Detective Di Renjie" were not very high, and it is expected to break 1 because of its reputation as a mountain and river drama.
In the environment where Shanhe dramas have exploded in the past two years, this is almost considered to be at the bottom.
Director Xue Jun and several of the main creators were a little disappointed, but if you think about it carefully, it's understandable.
After all, costume detective dramas are not a popular subject in the first place, and "Detective Di Renjie" is a new IP. Apart from Lin Yongjian, there are no other actors recognized by the audience.
Although Duan Long has become popular, his fame is still short after all, and his fame has not yet fully transformed into influence. In addition, he is only a supporting role in the drama, and several outstanding scenes cannot be spoiled in advance because they involve important plots.
Therefore, even if the focus is on promoting Duan Long, due to character issues, there is not much that can be brought out to attract the audience.
However, due to insufficient prerequisites, "Detective Detective Dee" will not be immediately relegated to the shadows.
Xue Jun's mentality is quite stable. There are many examples of Shanhe dramas winning word-of-mouth in the later period. He has experienced it more than once. He has confidence in "Detective Di Renjie".
Xue Jun's confidence is not without reason. After the premiere of "Detective Di Renjie" yesterday, Douhua has already issued an initial score of 8.5 points.
This rating is not low, but Xue Jun, who knows the plot development after the TV series, feels that this series will not stop there.
When the plot progresses to the climax of the case, and the audience combs through the entire case from the beginning, and understands the rigorous and ingenious structure of the case, that's when the reputation of "Detective Detective Dee" really explodes.
Xue Jun is looking forward to that day. He doesn't have a work with a score of 9.0 or above yet, so he doesn't know if "Detective Di Renjie" can satisfy his wish.
Among the top five directors in Shanhe, except for Wang Qian, Zuo, Kong and Gao who are just starting out, all have achieved this achievement. Only Xue Jun has not yet made a 9-point masterpiece, which makes the old Xue feel a bit inferior.
He had been able to handle it before, but this time Wang Qian signed a contract with Shanhe, which gave him a sense of crisis.
There are many good scripts in Shanhe. Maybe one day Wang Qian will pick a good one and take off.
Among the directors contracted by the company, Kong Sheng has the strongest momentum right now. "The Big Dye Shop" and "Don't Talk to Strangers" are enough to make him invincible.
Not to mention that he also has a TV series called "The Mansion Gate", which is a TV series that even Zuo Le dare not praise.
Xue Jun has read the script of "The Mansion Gate" and can roughly estimate the importance of this drama. It is no exaggeration to say that once Kong Sheng is finished filming, who else will Shanhe be the second director?
Kong Sheng has been holding back his big moves, and Gao Xinjian is also very good.
Not to mention the "Family with Children" series, last year's "Seven Swords 2" and "Lotus Lantern", two TV series he directed, both scored 3.
If it weren't for the national-level "Bright Sword", Lao Gao would definitely be the most handsome director among TV drama directors last year.
At this time, Gao Xinjian was preparing to film "The Prequel to the Lotus Lantern". With the popularity of the previous film, he had no worries about ratings and his position in the company was very stable.
Taken together, Xue Jun feels that he is the best person to "bully". If he were Wang Qian, he would definitely target him if he wanted to rise to power.
Lao Xue, who had been slacking off due to the dispute over the second director of Wu Xin Shan He, became more motivated again because of Wang Qian's outstanding performance.
This "Detective Di Renjie" is Xue Laosi's first battle to defend the director's position.
What is the highest ratings record for the "Serious Cases" series? Wait until his "Detective Di Renjie" reaches 9.0, and it will be crushed directly.
After Lao Xue calmed down, he kept an eye on the word-of-mouth rating of "Detective Di Renjie" every day.
However, what troubles him is that the ratings of the TV series he is thinking about have not fluctuated for the time being, but the ratings of "Detective Di Renjie" have been rising steadily.
…………
On April 16, the third and fourth episodes of "Detective Detective Dee" will be broadcast.
Di Renjie and his three men in disguise came to Youzhou and ran into a civil uprising. Di Renjie, who loved the people as his own children, thought something was going on, so he went to one of the nests of the people involved in the civil uprising to investigate.
Then I learned that the civil uprising was because these people were captured to fight. Many people died afterwards and agricultural production was delayed. The court originally promised to give them consolation money, but it never kept its promise and the people had nothing to eat.
They had no choice but to rebel and cause trouble.
When Di Renjie learned about this, he was very dissatisfied with the local officials in Youzhou. At this time, he met a seriously injured mysterious man. Di Renjie concluded that this person was related to the mastermind behind the mission case, so he took him to him for treatment and care.
After that, Di Renjie searched around again and found some clues, and was shocked to realize that his coming to Youzhou seemed to be known by the mastermind behind the scenes.
At this time, the governor of Youzhou sent people to the village to arrest people who turned into traitors. After collecting many clues and discovering that his identity was exposed, Di Renjie decided to go to Youzhou and use official power to continue investigating the case.
The three of Di Renjie were escorted to the lobby. The grumpy Hu Jinghui was dissatisfied with the soldiers' rude behavior towards Di Renjie and started a dispute with their leader.
The leader was furious and gave Hu Jinghui a slap on the ear when he came up. Hu Jinghui was stunned. Then several soldiers swarmed up and restrained him. The leader kicked him hard again.
Hu Jinghui is a lieutenant general of the Qianniu Guard, affiliated to the Emperor's Forbidden Army. He is equivalent to the current high-ranking officer of a certain maritime security force. With his status as an imperial envoy, he also has the title of an inspection team.
And this soldier leader, now, is a battalion-level cadre.
At the battalion level, he served as a senior officer and inspection team of the Central Security Forces, which was the true pinnacle of life.
Even Di Renjie looked at the leader with eyes full of admiration...
Then the governor of Youzhou arrived, and Di Renjie, who had long been angry because of the civil uprising and the bad attitude of the soldiers, immediately started to show off and slap him in the face.
"Bold, don't kneel down when you see the governor."
"A little governor can make me kneel down?"
"You are bold and cunning. When you see me, you dare not kneel down and say, what is your name, where are you from, what do you do for a living, why do you come to Youzhou, and let me recruit you truthfully."
"My surname is Di and my name is Renjie. I am a person from Bingzhou. I am an official with Fengge Yingtai Pingzhangshijia, who has deposed the envoy and is also the governor of Youzhou. I have been entrusted with the imperial envoy to promote all important military and political affairs in Youzhou."
Youzhou Governor: "..."
Soldier leader: ▄█?█●
The governor gave up and the leader was killed.
Di Renjie began to thoroughly investigate the inside story of the civil uprising. Although the governor of Youzhou tried to obstruct him in every possible way, he was no match for Di Datu's heroic eyes. In the end, the governor of Youzhou and other people involved in the case laid down the case and the consolation money was recovered.
But not long after, someone reported that the dead governor of Youzhou was a fake, and the tens of millions of official silver stashed in Youzhou were stolen.
Just when all the viewers saw this curiosity piqued, the fourth episode of "Detective Detective Dee" came to an end.
The extremely "happy" audience rushed to the director Xue Jun and screenwriter Zuo Le's neck scarves, spitting sweet fragrance and praising them.
Zuo Le was not moved at all. A TV series (xiaoshuo) that has not dug a hole (zhang) has no soul.
Used to it!
………
However, the audience criticized it, and the ratings of 1.6 on the third day were enough to prove the charm of the drama "Detective Detective Dee".
A major main case is surrounded by small cases, which not only attracts the audience to continue to follow the show, but also prevents the audience from getting bored. Every time the protagonist team solves a small case, they can get some clues, which is like fighting monsters and upgrading, which is particularly satisfying.
On the fourth day, episodes five, six, seven, and eight explained the Yinku case and the real and fake Youzhou governor. The case was slowly unfolding, and Di Renjie also began to fight with the mastermind behind the scenes.
As the audience watched the TV series, they were sometimes excited and sometimes worried due to the tense and exciting atmosphere and the confusing circumstances of the case.
The ratings of "Detective Detective Dee" are already close to 1.9, which is just a stone's throw away from breaking 2.
There have also been a large number of case analysis and cracking posts and videos on Bibo, Zhihu, and Bitcoin sites, speculating or explaining the secrets of the "Detective Di Renjie" mission case.
This costume detective drama, which was not eye-catching at the beginning, gradually began to show its charm and quickly became popular...
