In July, "The Prequel of the Lotus Lantern" crushed the same period, and in August, "The Story of College Students 3" successfully ranked first in the ratings that month.
The two dramas respectively occupied the first and second place in the 2022 summer season, continuing to consolidate the strong position of Shanhe drama in the field of TV dramas.
Counting the previous films "Family with Children 5", "Senior Crime Group 3" and the smash 4 "Mansion Gate", this year is another glorious year for Shanhe.
However, in the next few months, except for the upcoming September, Zuo Le's new work "Latent" will be launched soon, and there will be no new dramas launched after that.
Kong Sheng has finished filming "The Mansion" and is currently taking a vacation. According to him, he needs to calm down and will not be directing a new drama in the short term.
Lao Gao has just finished "The Prequel to the Lotus Lantern" and will be busy filming "Family with Children 6" in the next time. In addition, he also has to worry about the preparatory work for "The Match".
One of the two dramas is scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival every year, and the other has not been released yet. It will not be released until at least April or May next year.
Xue Jun has ended his "Stories of College Students" series. This year, two works with a rating of 2.5 or above have greatly increased his reputation, and the pressure previously brought by Wang Qian has drastically reduced.
Now I am slowly preparing for "Detective Detective Dee 2", which is expected to be launched in late September or October.
As for Wang Qian, who became famous in the first half of the year with "Serious Case Group 3", because she is a newly contracted director, she has not been entrusted with important tasks by the company yet.
She is currently filming "Serious Case Group 4". If this drama is successfully filmed, Zuo Le may let her try a new project next year.
After sorting out the projects on hand for several directors at Shanhe, the outside world suddenly discovered that Shanhe had no "inventory".
As long as they avoid "Latent" in September, they won't have to face competition from Shanhe dramas in the remaining October, November, and December of this year, or even the first half of January next year.
This discovery brought tears to the eyes of countless film producers and film and television company bosses, and it gave them a chance to breathe.
As a result, TV dramas that have not been aired in China have begun to move to the few months left by Shanhe, especially the two months of October and November.
December at the end of the year is the awarding period for the Golden Phoenix Awards. It would be a disadvantage to participate in the selection if it is broadcast online. Any TV series that has some confidence in seeking the Golden Phoenix Awards will not make this stupid mistake.
It's lively now.
In order to avoid "Insidious", several dramas originally scheduled for September have been moved to October.
Now there is a new round of schedule adjustment, and several potential works have been squeezed into the already fiercely competitive schedule, making October and November completely become a rare devil schedule in recent years.
But even so, many people would rather grit their teeth and cling to this devilish schedule than be transferred to a month that competes head-on with the Shanhe drama.
The competition is fierce, but those who are capable can stand out.
Even if you do it well, heat up the schedule and take advantage of your opponents in the same period, you might even be able to create a popular drama.
But for a head-on confrontation with the Shanhe drama, unless it is a truly high-quality production crew, most people really don't have the guts.
Is this like a wolf who has the courage to fight among a bunch of hyenas for kingship, but dare not challenge a tiger alone? Let’s compare.
In fact, Shanhe's strength is not as terrible as imagined. If the outside world really swarms, Zuo Le will be able to withstand it. It's a pity that these people have suffered too much before? They are not united with each other and like to think randomly.
As a result, Shanhe drama has gradually become a big devil in the hearts of most people.
Even if there is a new Shanhe drama with limited subject matter and the results may not be particularly good, they are still timid before fighting. They are hesitant and do not dare to compete with it.
Of course, there are those who are timid and those who are stubborn.
Seeing everyone running after October, I was surprised to see that two new dramas were moved from October to September, as if they were going to compete with Shanhe.
The first new drama is called "Little Maid"? It is a domestic version of a renovated drama adapted from a popular Southeast Asian drama at the beginning of the century?
The plot is roughly about a poor and lonely little girl who is adopted as a maid by a wealthy family. How does she work hard and be kind, gain recognition from everyone, and find her own career and love? The story of the final counterattack.
Well, just by reading this introduction? Some viewers who often watch dramas can imagine a drama about the bitter love White Lotus.
Nine times out of ten, it's the kind of bloody eight o'clock polyamory that I love you, do you love her? She loves him, but he loves him.
And then all kinds of good people don’t live long? The saucy manipulations that harm the legacy for thousands of years? The heroine’s life-threatening pretense and all kinds of tricks? A group of green tea virgin bitches.
It makes you so angry that you lie on the hospital bed and take an injection. You want to pull out the needle and smash the TV. If you don't relieve your anger at night, you will be written into a novel and used as cannon fodder...
But speaking of which, this TV series is not originally intended for the young public.
Its real viewing target is middle-aged and elderly viewers who like to pass the time watching these sad dramas that look like smelly and long foot bindings, especially middle-aged housewives, who have a special liking for this type of TV plot.
They don't care about the logic of the plot here, nor do they care whether the pace is slow.
It just needs to pass the time, let them scold the bad guys, feel sorry for the kind heroine, and satisfy their spiritual needs.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, young viewers who are not particularly interested in this type of drama should try not to try to watch this type of film and television works, otherwise their souls will be hit countless times, and in serious cases, it may even make people doubt their views.
The same goes for those TV series about the ethics of wealthy mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and country Mary Sue TV series. If you pick just one or two episodes at random, you will find countless flaws that will make you ask questions from the bottom of your heart over and over again.
Did this screenwriter grow up eating shit?
From this point of view, the drama "Little Maid" does not need to escape the edge of Shanhe drama. It has its own fixed audience group.
Unless national TV dramas such as "Wulin Gaiden" and "Bright Sword" become popular, the Shanhe drama will have limited impact on it.
What's great is that the ratings are low, but there's still a bit of a bottom line, and it won't be a complete failure.
On the contrary, the current schedule, which is surrounded by group dramas and has fierce competition, will squeeze its viewer base to the extreme. In comparison, coming to September at the same time as "Latent" is actually the best choice.
Therefore, the adjustment of the show "The Little Maid" is not a reckless move, but an operation based on weighing the pros and cons.
In the words of Master Ma, this is prepared...
………
The outside world actually doesn’t take the show “Little Maid” seriously.
The director is a second-rate director with no famous masterpieces. The leading actors are not well-known, and they are basically supporting actors. Except for a few actresses who are beautiful, there are basically no outstanding selling points.
If this kind of drama is expected to block "Insidious", even entertainment editors who are used to shameless nonsense will be embarrassed to say this.
Fortunately, there is another drama.
The second TV series moved to September is called "Hunting Wolf". It is an anti-special drama. It is the story of the people's police, which should be called people's public security at that time, arresting the Kuomintang agents lurking in the mainland after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
.
Strictly speaking, the drama "Wolfhunter" is not considered a schedule change. It was just recently announced that it will be broadcast in September.
This was originally a normal situation, but under the general trend of all TV series being moved to October and November, "Wolfhunter" seems to be a bit outstanding.
Not to mention, "Wolfhunter" is an anti-special drama, with a similar theme to spy war dramas such as "Insidious". It is difficult for people to think too much if a TV series with the same theme has to be broadcast together.
More importantly, the broadcast platform of "Wolf Hunter" is the CCTV TV drama channel...
Hey, ever since Zuo Le first debuted in "Underground Traffic Station", he has established an "indissoluble bond" with CCTV.
Later, Zuo Le also paid attention to the impact and tried to stagger it with CCTV to avoid misunderstandings.
But with the increase in the number of Shanhe dramas in the past two years, it is inevitable that they will take up more time slots, and given the size of CCTV, it is impossible not to show TV series just for Shanhe.
Therefore, although Zuo Le and CCTV have a stable relationship and even have some good intentions, in the eyes of outsiders, the two companies still engage in ratings wars from time to time.
Moreover, the mountains and rivers are better than the defeated ones, and the CCTV is pressed to the ground and rubbed at every turn...
At this time, there will be a group of people who can't help but come out to popularize the grievances between Zuo Le, an emerging entertainment boss, and the giant TV station CCTV.
People inside and outside the circle are very convinced, and now all kinds of related secrets are flying all over the sky.
Later, even the editor who spread the rumor in the first place believed that the two families really had a feud. Everyone was thinking about the right and wrong reasons. In the entertainment industry, when taking stock of the enemies, Zuo Le and CCTV are the two that must be mentioned.
Nowadays, when everyone sees Zuo Le and CCTV together, they look like Lao Guo and his runaway apprentices, with eyes full of gossip and amusement.
Zuo Le has given up on clarifying the matter.
He has expressed his attitude in public and privately countless times, and CCTV has explained more than once that Shanhe artists have participated in many CCTV programs, including even appearing on the Spring Festival Gala, and CCTV has also purchased rebroadcasts of Shanhe dramas.
But no matter how the two sides contact each other and send positive signals to the outside world, everyone still continues to believe the rumors.
Zuo Le even suspected that even if Shanhe really cooperated with CCTV, there would probably be a group of people making conspiracy theories.
If CCTV had not used its official power to persuade Zuo Le, or if Zuo Le had used some means to counterattack CCTV, both parties would have been holding back bad news and would not have cooperated sincerely...
So Zuo Le also broke down later. As long as CCTV didn't take it seriously, he didn't bother to waste any more words.
CCTV also means the same thing. They also hope to dig Shanhe from Dongshan. How could they give up their plan just because of some rumors?
As for the scheduling issue of "Wolf Hunter", it is completely a coincidence and does not deliberately target "Insidious".
Furthermore, it cannot be targeted.
In "Wolfhunter", except for the male lead who is a popular young man, the female lead and the second female lead are slightly famous, the other characters are all second- and third-rate actors, and the screenwriter and director are not great.
The overall lineup and reputation are limited compared to the previous "Little Maid", and there is no way to compare with "Insidious" where big names gather.
If the other party only knows how to make a show of being a celebrity, it is not impossible to counterattack, but in all these years, Shanhe has never seen an example of the collapse of the characters in the plot of a TV series.
The leading actors of "Insidious" are well-known, but they are well-founded and well-founded. They are obviously actors who were carefully selected and hired after considering the plot.
Instead of pinning your hopes on "Insidious" to collapse, it is better to imagine that "Wolfhunter" became ten times more popular and stayed at the top of the trending searches for scarves every day.
But there is one thing to say, forcibly bundling it with "Insidious" has indeed brought a certain amount of attention to "Wolf Hunter".
But no one can guarantee whether the consequences of this attention will be good or bad.
As a TV series that can be broadcast on the CCTV platform, the producers of "Wolfhunter" do not have a particularly strong demand for ratings, but they do not want the reputation to plummet significantly.
If you create something that is widely reviled and forced to be removed from the market midway, that would be a serious crime.
Therefore, the producers of "Wolfhunter" have recently been delighted with the increased attention to the new drama, but at the same time they are worried about overturning the situation. Every day there is a mixture of ice and fire, which is called "comfortable".
………
The outside world is in a lot of trouble because of the Shanhe drama and "Latent", but Zuo Le, who is at the center of the storm, is very calm.
After all, he has been an experienced director for many years and has seen countless storms. Even though he is still thinking about the results of "Insidious", he still can't sleep over it.
Now he basically sits in the rear and directs, and then asks Sun Lei, Duan Long and others to run the preliminary publicity. When Sun Lei and the others are almost done, Zuo Le will attend a few important publicity to help shout out.
In fact, Zuo Le doesn't like publicity. Running around here and there is not only troublesome, but also very tiring.
But there is no way, no matter who makes him famous, many audiences will recognize Zuo Le, so he can only hide away occasionally, but he is still indispensable at critical moments. This may be the trouble of great directors.
Hey, does this sentence have the flavor of Versailles literature...
Of course, Zuo Le is not completely lazy. His tasks at home are more to take care of his children and work on new works.
Little Zuo Xuan, who was born on May 1st, is now more than three months old. Compared with the appearance of the newly born red-skinned monkey, he is now white and fat, with a fragrant milk smell. Tian Yan, Zuo Xiaohe
Zhuang Cuicui and the others were reluctant to let go.
Zuo Le also fell in love with this boy more and more. He would lie on the crib and play with his son when he had nothing to do.
He also particularly likes to take photos and show off. His neck scarf and WeChat Moments are the hardest hit areas. Every now and then, there are a bunch of pictures of babies with their faces covered, making him look like a good dad in the new era.
Just now, he took the photos of Xiao Zuoxuan's sleeping posture that he had accumulated in the past few days, such as "Chang'e flying to the moon", "Houyi shooting the sun", "Five Qi Chaoyuan", "Armor Transformation", "Ultraman Tiga"
"After the masking process, a scarf was issued.
Seeing the fans who came after hearing the news and praising his son for being cute, Zuo Le couldn't stop smiling.
When Zuo Le was happy, he was happy to interact with netizens.
During this period, a fan asked him what his plans were for his next work, whether it would be a movie or a TV series, and what the subject matter was. In the past, Zuo Le would have ignored it. Today, he was in a good mood, and he rarely spoke out.
"For my next TV series, I want to make a story about liars..."
