Chapter 416 The second season of 'Actors Come to PK' without Zuo Le
In general, the failure of "Serious Case Group 6 4" this time is due to the wrong choice of plot route, which can also be said to be a failure of transformation.
This is also the first time that Shanhe has encountered this kind of situation. There have not been so many series before, so there is no transition problem.
"Family with Children" is the only one that has undergone a transformation. Because it is a sitcom, it has a high audience acceptance. In addition, the main cast changes every year. The style will be adapted according to the changes, which will appear more natural and the overall transformation will be smooth.
However, "Serious Case Group 4" failed to grasp the pulse of transformation and took two wrong steps in succession, which ultimately led to failure.
As the first person in charge of the "Serious Cases Group Six" series, Wang Qian felt very guilty, especially when faced with Kong Sheng, the mentor who personally handed over "Serious Cases Group Six" to her.
Wang Qian publicly reviewed the situation at the meeting, apologized to Zuo Le and Kong Sheng, and frankly stated that she was willing to accept punishment from the company. She even made plans to have her new drama "The Hidden Corner" be stopped.
But Zuo Le didn't blame Wang Qian too much.
Wang Qian was at fault and even had to bear the main responsibility, but Zuo Le couldn't hold on to her, otherwise what would directors like Kong Sheng and Xue Jun think?
Today because of the failure, the company severely punished Wang Qian. Tomorrow it will be their turn to do poorly in their new drama. Will they end up like this too?
Victory and defeat are common things in military affairs. No one can guarantee that he will always be at the top and not fall down every time. Therefore, it is absolutely not advisable to severely punish Wang Qian, otherwise it will easily chill people's hearts and make other directors miserable.
Of course, we can't not punish them at all, otherwise the directors will become more confident.
Zuo Le thought about it for a while, and the best way was to give Wang Qian a small punishment and then let Wang Qian "do meritorious service".
The next part of the film has been filmed, creating benefits for the company and proving his own strength. Zuo Le naturally chose to let go of the blame and will be generously compensated.
However, if the next part of the film continues to "attack the street", it is inevitable that he will continue to cause losses to the company. Even if he is not fired, it is inevitable that he will be benched.
The other directors had nothing to say. The company had given you another chance to turn around, but you failed to grasp it. Strict treatment is justified both emotionally and rationally.
But to put it into detail, the failure of "Serious Case Group 6 4" cannot be said to be that great.
The ratings exceeded 2 and the Douhua score was 7.7. It is already regarded as an excellent work by other film and television companies. It is only because there are so many high-quality products that this drama appears to be "bad".
Therefore, Zuo Le also gave special treatment. Not only did he continue to let Wang Qian film "The Hidden Corner", he also left her in charge of the series finale of "Serious Cases Group 6 5".
In other words, Zuo Le gave her two more chances. As long as she grasped it once, the worst result would not be directly frozen.
If both dramas had been done well, then the failure of "Senior Case Group 4" would have been directly exposed, and it would have been treated as if it had not happened.
………
Zuo Le's handling made Wang Qian very grateful, and also made Kong Sheng and the others quite satisfied.
Everyone likes a company with a human touch.
He will talk sweetly when necessary, but if he fails, he will be kicked away as a piece of shit. With such a boss, everyone will have to murmur in their hearts and find a way out in advance.
At the same time, the failure of "Serious Case Group 4" also sounded the alarm for Shanhe directors.
To be honest, in the past two years, the Shanhe drama has been killing everyone, almost dominating the entire domestic TV drama field, and everyone's mentality is more or less a little drifting.
This time "Serious Case Group 6" suffered a small setback, which made directors like Shanhe understand that not all Shanhe dramas can be perfect.
Especially Gao Xinjian and Xue Jun, who had previously competed in the two series "Family with Children" and "Detective Di Renjie", they had already had the lofty idea of making money by filming one step at a time.
This time, "Serious Case Group Six" tells them a bloody lesson that the quality of the sequels of the series is not good. Even if it has the huge popularity of the previous work, it will still be ignored.
It will also have a great potential to affect the entire series. Not to mention, one failure is likely to lose a lot of viewers. Two consecutive times, this series has almost been scrapped.
Gao and Xue have restrained their impetuous mentality and have higher requirements and attitudes towards the next sequel, ensuring that they will not repeat the mistakes of "Serious Case Group 6 4".
In early March, the finale of "Case 4" aired. In the end, the average ratings of the entire drama remained at 2.17, and the Douhua score was 7.7, setting the worst performance in the series.
Wang Qian learned from the painful experience, and while preparing "The Hidden Corner", she was also carefully polishing the script of "Serious Cases Group 6 5".
The six groups of flowing water, the iron-clad Ji Jie.
This sentence is not a joke. In the past five years, no matter how the protagonist team of the "Senior Case Group Six" series has changed, Wang Qian is still firmly rooted in the crew.
The first heroine of five films, the assistant director of the first film, the executive director of the second film, and the director of the third, fourth and fifth films.
Wang Qian has put so much effort into "Serious Cases", and no one has a deeper affection for this series than she does.
From the bottom of her heart, she wanted to film "Serious Cases Group 6 5" well and give this series a happy ending.
………
It is also worth mentioning that at the same time as "Serious Case Group 4" was aired, the second season of "Actors Come to PK" was also launched.
Except for Zuo Le, the other three of the four major mentors have not changed. Zuo Le is replaced by Qin Jiang'er, a famous director in Hong Kong.
Director Qin obviously watched the last season of the show and found a good position for himself, learning from Zuo Le's poisonous tongue.
In the first episode of the show, he attacked many actors and dominated the trending searches for scarves, making the audience hooked.
The director team of "Actors Come to PK" is also very excited and believes that they have found the best replacement for Zuo Le and that the second season can replicate last year's popularity.
However, they were not happy for long, and Qin Jianger's true colors were revealed.
The reason Zuo Le dared to make spicy and venomous comments was because of his own status and the fact that he was not affected by the capital behind those actors. At first, Director Qin did not care about these things just like Zuo Le because he was from a Hong Kong background.
But as his performance got better and better, a lot of capital valued his popularity and came to cooperate with him.
Director Qin is not Zuo Le. He has a strong business and is not manipulated by anyone. No matter how good he is, he is just a film director. Although he is in the Hong Kong circle, he is not worried about suppression.
But now that the Hong Kong market is shrinking, Hong Kong filmmakers want to go north to develop, and so does Director Qin. As a result, it will be difficult for him to be alone.
So after the initial harsh words, Director Qin became more and more "gentle", but without Zuo Le taking the lead, the other three directors also chose to "complicit".
Everyone was harmonious, and the program seemed particularly harmonious, but there was no point in watching it.
Li Ru, the only one who dared to tell the truth, quit the show angrily because he and Guo Xiaosi had conflicts one after another and saw other people getting into trouble.
After Li Ru quit, the second season of "Actors Come to PK" completely lost its hit point. The audience complained and questioned, saying that it was all hypocritical routines. The program team has become a puppet of capital, and there is no longer the stunning, truthful and sincerity of the first season.
.
Word-of-mouth and click-through rates plummeted. From a phenomenal hit in the first season, it quickly fell into a street-beating variety show like a street rat.
I don’t know if the top management of Penguin Video has any regrets. They didn’t make up their mind and kept Zuo Le at all costs, which led to the bitter consequences today.
But this has nothing to do with Zuo Le. He was busy filming "Mao Liar" and didn't even have time to watch the live broadcast of the second season of "Actors Come to PK".
The information he knew was all from online news and crew gossip, and he didn't pay too much attention to it.
In the early stage, Zuo Le also paid attention to the participating Shanhe artist Zhang Shui. After Zhang Shui was eliminated by the young guy who never sheds tears even in a scene, he also said goodbye to this show.
However, after Zuo Le, who had some friendship with him, heard about his experience, he invited the old man to play a wealthy role in "Mao Liar" and unabashedly supported Lao Li.
After the news came out, a new movie was a mess, and the director surnamed Guo, who had a Douban score of only 3.9, was once again incompetent and furious...
