Chapter 434 'Mao Liar', which is instantly popular in the north and south of the river
"Mao Liang" was launched at 6 pm on July 10, and about two hours later, feedback began to appear online.
[Highly recommend "Mao Liar", it's so good]
[Director Zuo’s new drama, quality guaranteed]
[I like Zhao Ning so much, he’s so cool and cool]
[Ah ah ah, Qishui is so pretty, the beauty timekeeper has hooks in her eyes, and I, a woman, am almost bent.]
[As expected of Director Zuo, the plot design is particularly good, with one link within another and various reversals]
[And it sticks to the main plot, there are rushes and slowdowns, the rhythm is great]
[Oh my god, what kind of conscientious crew, the third and fourth episodes are more than fifty minutes each, and the four episodes combined are equivalent to five other people’s episodes]
[Director Zuo did not film many modern dramas before, most of them were comedies. Now it seems that he is also very good at realistic suspense]
[Joke, don’t forget who is the first screenwriter of Shanhe. Director Zuo is the screenwriter of most Shanhe dramas. He doesn’t know any subject matter]
[All-around director——Zuo Le]
【……】
There are those who praise it, and there are those who don't like it. Opposition voices have already emerged, most of them criticizing Zuo Le's new drama for telling the story of a group of liars and that it has an incorrect intention.
Shanhe had been prepared in advance, and the banner for "Mao Liar" was also to popularize deception techniques and remind ordinary people to be more vigilant.
This statement is barely tenable, as is the case with most crime films.
As long as they don't praise criminals or slander the government, and the producers sit on their butts and don't arouse major opposition, the higher-ups will just turn a blind eye and close their eyes.
Now that "Mao Liar" has just been aired, many plots have not yet unfolded, and no one knows the future development, so there are actually very few voices of criticism.
Most of them are lemon essences that made my eyes sore after watching Zuo Le’s new work, which has a good reputation...
At around 8 p.m., the initial Douhua score of "Mao Liar" was 8.8 points.
For a new drama that has just aired four episodes, it is extremely good. Even Zuo Le nodded with satisfaction.
Zuo Le himself has high expectations for "Mao Liar". The original version is known as the most popular online drama, with higher ratings than "Wulin Gaiden".
Now Zuo Le has remade it and optimized it based on the original. The overall quality is better than the original version.
He doesn't expect to surpass "Wulin Gaiden" which currently has a score of 9.6. As long as it can reach a score of 9.5, then he will be satisfied.
Since "Wulin Gaiden" in 2019, Zuo Le has never appeared in a work above 9.5.
The closest one is last year's "Insidious", which scored 9.4 points, which is not far from 9.5. After all, the higher the score goes, every 0.1 point is a huge gap.
So Zuo Le put his hope in "Mao Liang".
As the best director in the history of Chinese TV dramas, Zuo Le cannot be moved by ordinary honors. Only this ultra-difficult challenge can arouse his motivation.
With two 9.5-rated dramas in hand, it occupies two of the top ten domestic dramas in word-of-mouth ratings.
Zuo Le loves such amazing achievements.
If he looks for an opportunity to make a more powerful drama in the future, and takes the honor of having the first place in word-of-mouth ratings for domestic dramas... no, the entire Douhua TV series, then his status as the number one director in history will be even more deserved.
………
Zuo Le is gearing up to hit the 9.5 Douhua score, and Penguin Video’s internal staff are also shocked by the data of "Mao Liar".
Penguin video high-level conference room
Zuo Le's old friend, Vice President Li Hai, held a folder, suppressed his inner excitement, and read out the initial data of "Mao Liar" to the Penguin executives present.
The entire conference room was quiet, except for occasional low exclamations and uncontrollable gasps of excitement.
"As of 8 a.m. on July 11, the first episode of "Mao Liar" has been viewed more than 10 million times, and together with the other three episodes, the total has exceeded 30 million."
"The barrages are extremely active. The first episode has exceeded 50,000, and the other three episodes have exceeded 100,000 barrages in total."
"According to background statistics, the number of new members who have signed up for "Mao Liar" is about 19,000."
"Within 24 hours, there were 12 hot searches related to "Mao Liar", of which about 5 were long-term stable, and one of them reached the top for an hour and a half."
"The popularity of "Mao Liang" on Zhihu is obvious. Related questions have ranked first on the hot search list, and the total number of answers has exceeded 5,000."
"BiZun, Douyin, Slow Hand and other traffic-draining videos have been released, and the results are impressive. Especially on CoinZone, the feedback has been particularly enthusiastic. People from the film and television sector even contacted us and wanted to buy the copyright of "Mao Liar"."
"Tell them not to sell!"
Penguin Video replied loudly, then looked at the participants and exclaimed in a slightly sighing voice.
"This is just one night. The data in all aspects is almost equivalent to the sum of many ordinary dramas. Even "Bright Sword" and "Wulin Gaiden" were not so exaggerated back then."
"It's normal. "Mao Liar" is broadcast exclusively by our family, and everyone can only come to our place to watch the show."
Another vice president adjusted his glasses and said with a smile: ""Mao Liar" has just been broadcast. The reputation and influence have not been fully fermented, and the data is far from the blowout zone. President, when you are happy, you will be behind.
"
"I watched this drama yesterday. It is no exaggeration to say that I think this drama has the potential to become a national-level TV drama like "Wulin Gaiden" and "Bright Sword"." A senior executive said.
"I agree with what Minister Sun said. President, I propose to launch the highest publicity plan for "Mao Liar". We cannot let go of this rare opportunity." Another senior executive said solemnly.
"What do you think?"
The president did not reply, but looked at Li Hai and the other three vice presidents. The three looked at each other, and Li Hai took the initiative to speak.
“In the past two years, we have immediately overtaken Kuyou and Qiguo to develop, and have become the number one video website in China. However, these two companies have been chasing us, always thinking about overtaking and counterattacking.
Previously, the group hinted that we would find an opportunity to completely defeat these two companies head-on and consolidate our position as the number one website in the country. I think "Mao Liar" has this potential."
"I agree with Lao Li, it's worth trying once."
"I agree."
The remaining two vice presidents spoke in support, and the president of Penguin Video nodded.
"Okay, since no one has any objections, after returning, we will fully tilt the promotional resources towards "Mao Liar".
I will immediately return to the group in person, meet with the chairman, and ask other units in the group to fully support us and pool the resources of the entire group to promote "Mao Liang"."
The morale of the senior executives in the conference room was extremely high, and they were determined to take advantage of this rare opportunity to overwhelm the two old rivals and realize their long-cherished wish to become the number one video website in the country...
Needless to say, Penguin's energy is overwhelming. Once the publicity offensive is launched, it will be overwhelming.
The word "Mao Liang" instantly became popular all over the country...
