Chapter 59 'No. 2 Traffic Station' with a score of 8.4
The ratings of "Traffic Stop No. 2" were very good. The average ratings of the entire drama during its first broadcast exceeded 0.9, ranking second in the same time period that day.
Two days later, the average ratings of the entire drama "Traffic Stop No. 2" exceeded 1, and the ranking for the same time period of the day was successfully topped, and it continued to dominate the rankings in the following time.
The seven-day National Day holiday is over, and the average ratings of the entire drama "Traffic Station No. 2" are over 1.3. It is the best among all TV dramas during the National Day period, and Dongshan TV has received a lot of advertising fees.
In addition to the hit ratings on the TV platform, "Traffic Station No. 2" also performed very well on the online platform.
Although Penguin spent a lot of money to pursue the drama, BiZhan was not willing to spend money. After fierce competition between the two companies, BiZhan relied on the previous friendship with Dongshan Taiwan and the sky-high price of 360 million to complete the Traffic Station duology.
middle.
And this sky-high investment, which broke the record of BitZhan’s film and television copyright fees, did not disappoint Boss Chen.
Since "Transportation Station No. 2" was launched on the currency website, various data have soared rapidly, and it has the potential to challenge the big brother "Underground Transportation Station".
Although the second part of Traffic Station failed to make Boss Chen realize his wish to build the Coin Station Film and Television Zone into the fourth online film and television platform competing with the three major video websites.
However, the traffic, popularity and new users that the two dramas brought to the currency site were enough to make the senior executives of the currency site feel that the several hundred million dollars spent were worth it.
"Traffic Station No. 2" became the most popular drama in October 2016, and its popularity exploded. It was even worse than "Underground Traffic Station" when it was broadcast at the beginning of the year.
But amid the prosperity, it’s hard to hide the cracks.
Although the vast majority of viewers have recognized the sequel to "Traffic Station No. 2" and received rave reviews, many people still feel that "Traffic Station No. 2", as the sequel to "Underground Traffic Station", has only limited quality.
Considered good.
Especially the script, there are some flaws in the plot setting, and the lines are not as refined as in the first film. Many of the laughs are concentrated on a few villains, and the decent funny attributes are greatly reduced.
Many people think that this is the screenwriter Zuo Le, because after seeing that Captain Jia, Captain Huang and other villains in the first part were well received, in the script creation of the second part, he intentionally or unintentionally added drama to the villains, resulting in the role of good and villain.
There is an imbalance in the proportion of attributes.
This can also be seen from the Douhua score. "Underground Traffic Station" scored 9.0, which is among the masterpieces, while "No. 2 Traffic Station" only scored 8.4, which can only be regarded as a masterpiece.
Of course, Douhua's score of 8.4 is by no means low, and few of China's new film and television dramas every year can score above 8.
It's just that Zuo Le was at his peak when he debuted, and everyone's expectations for him were too high, which is why "Traffic Station No. 2" scored a high score of 8.4. Many people said that Zuo Le had regressed.
While making many people in the industry dumbfounded, they also looked at Zuo Lego several times.
She debuted in two TV series, which received good reviews and good reviews. There is another fierce person in the industry.
…………
While everyone was sighing with emotion, little did they know that Zuo Lecai, whom they envied, was depressed.
His own family knows his own affairs, and the outside world praises him so highly one by one. If he doesn't fall down one day, it will be a lot of fun...
Thinking of this, Zuo Le became more cautious about the script creation of "The Story of the Cooking Class" and often brainstormed with Chen, Shang and several empty editors.
Zuo Le, who majored in Chinese, worked as a screenwriter on a television station for three years. Although he had no achievements, his basic writing skills were definitely solid.
Later, he re-produced "Underground Traffic Station" and independently revised two complete scripts of "Traffic Station No. 2". Zuo Le's own screenwriting ability has been extremely developed.
Now, with his level, there may still be a gap between him and the top guys in the industry, but compared to professional screenwriters like Kong Wen, Zuo Le has enough confidence in himself.
In addition, he still has the original TV series in his mind to rely on, so Zuo Le absolutely occupies a dominant position when brainstorming with these empty script writers.
After long-term contact, several Kongwen screenwriters expressed their recognition and slight admiration for Zuo Le's screenwriting talent.
He is indeed the best sitcom director and screenwriter in China at this stage, and he is well-deserved!
While Zuo Le was gaining great impression points in the eyes of screenwriters, the script of "The Story of the Cooking Class" was gradually taking shape.
On October 17, the day after the finale of "Traffic Station No. 2", the script for "The Story of the Cooking Class" was completed. Zuo Le and the producer Chen Fatty, who was invited by Kong Wen at his strong request, started acting separately.
It's still the old rules, Fatty Chen prepares the preliminary work for the crew, and Zuo Le goes to select the actors.
But before that, Zuo Le still had a personal matter to be busy with.

Beijing South Railway Station
Zuo Le smiled and gave his disguised second uncle a hug, and then joked.
"You are always so popular. This outfit is more tightly wrapped than those little fresh meat."
Cousin Yan Ping, who came with his second uncle, laughed when he heard this and said: "Brother, don't be dissatisfied. Now "Traffic Station No. 2" has just finished airing, and my dad is the most popular at the moment. Really compare, those
The little fresh meat can do better than my dad."
Zuo Le laughed loudly, and then looked at his cousin who was carrying big and small bags: "What, brother, are you here to be my second uncle's assistant?"
"Your aunt is worried."
The second uncle, who had been silent all this time, spoke up: "When we were filming Traffic Stop, you were the director, and the crew felt relieved because you were there to help them.
Now I come to film this new drama. I am not familiar with the place. Your aunt was afraid that I would suffer a loss outside, so she asked your brother to follow me. After all, we have someone to take care of me."
The popularity of the Traffic Station duology has made the second uncle, who plays Captain Jia, the hottest "new" star this year.
Not long ago, my second uncle was approached by a fairy tale drama and wanted to play a master of magic in the drama. The salary was very generous.
The second uncle thought about it for a long time, asked Zuo Le for his opinion, and finally accepted the film contract. At this point, the second uncle officially changed from his initial part-time job to a professional actor.
Of course, the Baiyun dry cleaning shop is still open, but it is under the management of my second aunt...
After listening to what his second uncle said, Zuo Le nodded: "My aunt has thought more carefully about this matter than me. The entertainment industry is a mixed bag, and there are all kinds of bad people and dirty things. Although you have filmed two movies, you are not familiar with the industry.
I know too little about what's going on here.
You must not think that all the crews have the same harmonious atmosphere as we did when we shot the traffic stop. This is a very rare phenomenon. Although most other crews do not engage in intrigue every day, there is still some intrigue.
Brother, please pay more attention when the time comes, and don’t get into trouble with my uncle. If something happens, don’t worry, just call me. Your brother has made a name for himself in the past two years, and ordinary people can’t bully us.
.”
Although the harsh words were spoken loudly, Zuo Le felt increasingly uneasy.
The second uncle and the cousin are completely newbies in the entertainment industry. If they are thrown into a strange crew, they are afraid that they will be plotted by others.
Although Zuo Le considers himself to have a strong backer, he is afraid of anything unexpected. If the situation is urgent and he is too late to intervene, the old man will suffer a big loss on the spot. Then no matter how he retaliates afterwards, it will only be an afterthought.
After thinking about it carefully, Zuo Le decided to hire a professional star team for his second uncle. It doesn’t need to be many people, just two or three people who can do the job. After all, the relationship between him and his second uncle is at stake here. If someone wants to scheme against his second uncle, he must also
Worry about him.
With the help of several professionals and the intimidation of his nephew, a newly famous director in the industry, the second uncle was not only safe, but at least he could block most of the tricks.
Zuo Le kept this in mind and planned to ask someone later, and then personally drove his second uncle and cousin to join the group, intending to build momentum for the old man.
It's funny to talk about this. Other people's families are from the second generation to the third generation. It's the younger generation who got into the industry by relying on the connections of the elders. But Zuo Le's situation is great. It's a direct change and he, the younger generation, works for his second uncle.
To pave the way for things, think about everything.
But this was something Zuo Le asked for himself. Who asked him to fool his second uncle into playing Jia Gui? This is what you sow, and you get what you want.
