"Story of the Cooking Class" is still in the intensive post-production stage, while the military dramas that CCTV originally pitched and approved have been aired since late March.
Although August is the serious Army Day, and March is a bit too early to start broadcasting, there is no way. CCTV has too many projects. It has produced seven of them and participated in investment in four.
These eleven TV series can't all be squeezed into July. They can simply be broadcast in batches, which can be regarded as continuing to build momentum for the 70th anniversary of the founding of the army throughout the year.
The first broadcast on CCTV was "National Defense Students", which was broadcast on the prime time TV sub-channel.
I wanted to get off to a good start, but I didn't expect that "National Defense Student" received a mediocre response after it aired.
Frankly speaking, this drama was well done, and it can be regarded as a true reflection of the group of national defense students. However, it may be because the plot is too flat, or because ordinary old viewers are not familiar with national defense students and cannot get the point of the TV series.
In short, "National Defense Student" has broadcast most of the episodes, and the average ratings of the entire series are less than 0.7%. It is expected that the finale will be about 0.75, ranking steadily around 6th to 7th among TV series in the same period.
This achievement is not actually a success, of course, but it is not very good either. At least it is far from the psychological expectations of CCTV and military leaders.
A good start was a "squib".
CCTV's face is a bit disgraceful and it no longer plays it safe. It plans to launch one of its three trump cards in advance, the tank-themed production "King of Land" with an investment of over 100 million, to save its face.
On April 10th, "King of Land" landed on CCTV's prime time slot.
Once it was broadcast, it immediately became popular all over the Internet.
It's just that this "fire" is a little different from what CCTV thought...
…………
"King of Land" tells the story of a tank soldier. The official plot synopsis is: After Zhang Liang (male protagonist), a son of a wealthy family, joins the army, he interacts with veteran squad leader Miao Dazhuang (second male protagonist) and the sassy military beauty Yangmei (female protagonist).
Collision, and finally the story of becoming the tank king of the new era through one's own efforts.
It sounds very inspiring, but after the TV series was actually broadcast, the audience found that it was not the same thing at all.
At the beginning of the first episode, there was a military district exercise. The tank unit where the second male lead was included was airdropped into the city by an airplane.
That's right, planes dropped tanks, especially heavy tanks.
It is truly a model of coordinated land and air operations.
What was even more outrageous was that the tank driven by the second male lead was traveling on the main road of the city. On the road, he met a female reporter. When the female reporter saw the tank, she drove her car after the tank and took pictures without thinking.
Afterwards, she was discovered by the male protagonist and the memory card of the camera was forcibly confiscated. The female reporter behaved in various ways, and later confidently went to the army to make trouble with the male protagonist's leader.
According to the cast list, this "ice-smart" female reporter is the second female lead.
The plot of the male protagonist is also very fascinating. As a second-generation rich man, he came to join the army because he had a bad temper with his father. Within two days of his arrival, because his mobile phone was confiscated during the recruitment period, he disappeared out of anger and became a deserter.
The army made great efforts to catch the male protagonist, but the male protagonist still refused to admit his mistake, made strong excuses, and protested against the army's violation of his human rights.
A recruit who knows how to play like this would have died eight hundred times in real life, but in the TV series, the male protagonist didn't do anything wrong, he just simply got a demerit.
However, this is not the most awesome plot.
Because he was given a demerit, the male protagonist was dissatisfied. The next day, in front of everyone, he challenged the group leader to a one-on-one fight.
The group leader actually agreed!!!
After that, the plot becomes even more amazing. The leader of the group has a strong fighting ability. He knocks the hero to the ground with three strokes and two divisions. The hero falls to the ground and pretends to be dead. The leader is afraid that he will be injured, so he comes to check on the hero, but is attacked by the hero.
, and was sent directly to the infirmary.
Later, the second male lead angrily asked the male protagonist why he wanted to sneak attack. The male protagonist was plausible, saying that soldiers never tire of deceit and should do anything to achieve victory on the battlefield. The regiment leader was deceived because he was low on vigilance.
Um……
Maybe the screenwriter set up these plots to pave the way for the male protagonist to slowly grow through the training of the army.
But it's a pity that it used too much force and directly made the male protagonist into a big idiot who everyone hates dogs.
"King of Land" only aired four episodes, and the male protagonist was scolded by the entire Internet. Even "King of Land" was considered a bad drama in many people's minds, with a rating as low as 4.5.
The director and screenwriter were so stubborn that they dared to come out and confront netizens. They were immediately scolded and made to doubt their lives. They almost deleted their scarves.
With word-of-mouth reputation collapsing, the ratings of "King of Land" have also been declining, from breaking 1 when it first aired to 0.6 three days later.
After opening the door with a squib, the ace card was also turned into a useless card.
CCTV's tribute to the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Liberation Army almost became a joke, and I was completely embarrassed.
What's even worse is that the bad reviews of "Lord of the Land" aroused strong dissatisfaction with the Army, especially the tank troops. They believed that the show was simply slandering them. They protested to CCTV and strongly demanded that "Lord of the Land" be removed from the shelves.
.
CCTV naturally refused to do this. The gift film they mainly supported and produced was removed from the shelves after the beginning. Then their face was really lost.
The two sides argued for a few days, and finally each took a step back. "Lord of the Land" was not removed from the shelves midway, but was switched to the daytime broadcast.
…………
Just when CCTV was struggling with "King of Land", Zuo Le's "Story of the Cooking Class" has also been completed in post-production, and Dongshan Channel has begun publicity and preparations for broadcast on May 1.
With the conscience of heaven and earth, Zuo Le and Dongshantai really have no intention of stepping on CCTV's leadership.
"Story of the Cooking Class" was originally scheduled to be broadcast on May 1st, and it was a complete coincidence that it was so close to "King of the Land".
But no matter what, CCTV has just stumbled, and Dongshan TV here has vigorously promoted the new drama "The Story of the Cooking Class", and the banner is still the first military-themed sitcom.
You said it was a coincidence, who would believe it?
Many people think of the past events in 2016 when "Underground Traffic Station" competed with CCTV's "Gale" for the Spring Festival championship, and vaguely seem to understand something.
Soon, some media on the Internet, which did not take it too seriously to watch the excitement, began to "popularize" the feud between Dongshan TV and CCTV to the public.
According to these media, the two TV stations have had a long-standing grudge. During the golden period of the last century, Dongshan TV wanted to seize the leadership position of domestic TV stations. CCTV certainly did not want its younger brother to ride on its head and carry out strong suppression.
After a series of overt and covert battles, Dongshantai was defeated in the end. Since then, it has been in a state of decline until Zuo Le came out last year. The drama "Underground Traffic Station" overturned CCTV and won the 2016 Spring Festival championship, eliminating the shame of years of oppression.
Later, Dongshantai gradually rose to prominence with the Traffic Station Duology. Unable to hold back the fire of revenge in his heart, he wanted to seek revenge for the suppression by CCTV.
This time, taking advantage of the setback of CCTV's "King of Land", Dongshan TV plans to take advantage of your illness and kill you by launching Zuo Le's new drama, in order to make CCTV's face...
I don’t know how these media figured it out. It’s 80% nonsense and 2% true. It seems to be a fabrication. Many people who don’t know the inside story actually believe it and move around on the small bench.
Watch the excitement from the sidelines.
"Avengers" Dongshan TV vs TV station hegemon CCTV
It’s exciting to listen to!
However, others found it exciting, and Zuo Leke almost cried.
When those unscrupulous media made up this story, they added a lot of drama to him, and even claimed that he was the sword in the hands of "Avenger" Dong Shantai who stabbed CCTV.
You are the sword, and your whole family is the sword!
Zuo Le was so angry that he was so angry at CCTV. He was a big business man with big hands and eyes, but with his small body, he couldn't handle it...
ps: Everyone is so awesome, thank you to everyone who gave rewards and voted!!!
