Chapter 488 The Whole Country Talks About the White Snake [Final Chapter]
The ratings reached 66.3, making "Legend of the New White Snake" a well-deserved "national TV series" after ten days of broadcasting. Those who are profound do not realize its superficiality, and those who are vulgar do not realize that it is noble.
All national TV dramas must coincide with the collective psychology of the people.
The ratings were so high, at least during the two hours before and after the Golden Theater in the evening, HUNAN Satellite TV became invincible for the first time. The brand that got the advertising space at this time period at a not-so-high price before is certainly overjoyed. Inside HUNAN Satellite TV, they are unconsciously full of confidence in the future development of the TV station!
Of course, it would be a disaster for all the other TV stations in China to kill all the dramas of the same period in such a way.
Affected by the popularity of this TV series, the ratings of Huaxia TV's evening golden theater have even dropped to the lowest point in history-with Huaxia TV's channel advantages, word-of-mouth advantages and brand advantages that have been so strong that no one can match it over the years , On Friday night, it only got 3.9 ratings points, setting the highest ratings for a program!
This is the most, obviously the lowest.
Moreover, it is conceivable that even Huaxia TV has been suppressed to such an extent, whether it is other provincial satellite TV stations or government-level TV stations. In short, the whole country watches and talks about White Snake. "Legend of the Wife", there is no common topic with colleagues and friends, so the presence of other TV stations and TV dramas has dropped to the lowest point in history.
And when the audience rating of 66.3 appeared, after a week of warm-up and preparation, the media from all over the country finally became completely excited—newspapers, magazines, and TV stations, as long as they are related to TV dramas and variety shows For the relevant column, the highlight of the report must be "Legend of the New White Snake". It must be this masterpiece that has already set an astonishing ratings after it has just aired its sixteenth episode!
Under such circumstances, the influence and popularity of this TV series have once again been raised to a new level after the various media have added fuel and vinegar to them. Almost no one knows that this TV series is being broadcast on HUNAN Satellite TV. , and almost no one does not know that this TV series is exceptionally good.
And the column articles of many film and television experts also contributed to the flames. They looked at, evaluated and analyzed this TV series with their relatively professional eyes, and they added stories, performances, pictures, special effects, and even arias to the play. The unique form of oriental musicals has been highly praised.
Many people even believe that the TV series "Legend of the White Snake", as a representative work of traditional Chinese mythology TV dramas, to a certain extent, its amazing quality has surpassed what was generally believed to be impossible. The transcendent "Journey to the West" - because it is obvious that "Journey to the West" is so classic that it cannot be more classic in terms of the performance of the actors and the degree of popularity, but to a large extent, it is based on the original work. Addition of halo.
And "Legend of the New White Snake" is certainly not Li Qian's original creation. It is based on the original folklore and the notebook novels of the Shun Dynasty literati in the Ming Dynasty, and then reinterpreted it. The original influence of the story of "Journey to the West" among Chinese people is obviously not the same.
Some folk tales that were originally very fragmented can be further processed and re-created, and finally a TV series can be made to reach the current level. If the quality of the TV series itself is purely considered, it is hard to say that it has surpassed "Journey to the West" Notes", but at least, it has been able to keep pace with - and this matter itself is already a miracle.
This is equivalent to saying that the "Legend of the New White Snake" filmed by Li Qian is a tall building built on the ground, but it has reached the same height as the mountain of "Journey to the West"!
Under the unanimously strong reports and extreme praise of various media across the country, although some people are disgusted with the statement held by some newspapers that ""Legend of the New White Snake" is enough to keep pace with "Journey to the West", But for countless TV viewers across the country, they all recognize the standard of this TV series.
Therefore, as the media publicizes the ratings figure of "66.3" again and again, and popularizes the development of domestic TV in the past ten years, the basic situation and ranking of the ratings of famous TV dramas to ordinary audiences again and again. Waiting, so that even ordinary people who didn't care about this information at all before can talk about it after dinner.
So, after this weekend's fermentation, it seems that people all over the country are expecting this TV series to achieve great results again after it resumes broadcasting. Creating and breaking records is the most anticipated and exciting thing in the first place.
What's more, the TV series has been broadcast to the sixteenth episode, and it has indeed won the extraordinary love of countless viewers.
Of course, everyone knows that this TV series still has the ability to continue to climb, no matter how much it climbs, it will definitely continue to go up, and for the current arrival in Shuntian Mansion, they want to compete for the second round of broadcasting rights of this TV series As far as the major TV stations are concerned, as its ratings continue to rise, it will obviously mean that they will have to pay a higher price to win the second round of broadcasting rights.
However, what was unexpected was that when Minghu Culture started on Wednesday, that is, when the TV series just got 35.4 ratings points, it suddenly gave up its stance of continuing to whet the appetite and began to seek negotiations on its own initiative.
…………
Quotation, counter-offer, see-saw, you raise a little, I lower a little, you have your reasons, I have my opinion... In short, any business negotiation is difficult.
Even if you hold the absolute initiative in your hands, and even to some extent, have the power to directly make a price, but facing one after another veteran negotiator, if you want to be easy and freehand, you can directly pay according to the price you imagined. Taking it down is still pure delusion.
"Legend of the New White Snake" is very popular. It has not been halfway through the airing of the series, but it has already attracted great attention from all over the country, and it has also gained an excellent reputation with almost zero negative reviews. Let's talk about the second round of broadcast at this time Of course, Qi Jie must be the one taking the initiative. Even for Minghu Culture, the longer this negotiation drags on, the higher the asking price can be, because the ratings have been rising!
But still the same sentence, in the second round this time, Minghu Culture, including her and Li Qian, did not plan to push the income and selling price to the extreme as much as possible, but preferred to be among the many TV stations. , choose a few, and become long-term cooperation objects in the future.
Since it's not a one-off deal, of course people should be allowed to bargain.
And from Qi Jie's point of view, in order to have a long-term cooperation, it is even necessary for the partner to feel that they are taking advantage of it.
But fortunately, no matter how good a veteran negotiator is, he can't hold back the bargaining chip in the other party's hand is getting bigger and bigger. When the ratings of "Legend of the New White Snake" surpassed 50 points in one fell swoop, some people were already unable to hold back, and When the TV series broke through 60 ratings on Friday night, the next day, when the negotiations started again, everyone sitting opposite Qi Jie and Zou Wenhuai quickly surrendered.
Such a TV series, which has begun to approach the ratings of the two classics "Journey to the West" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" before it aired halfway, and such a TV series that has become a "national TV series", even ordinary viewers are watching it. I hope that its ratings will reach even higher... All fools know that not to mention the right to broadcast the second round, even if it is the third round, or even if it is rebroadcasted next year, it will be like now every summer vacation. The TV station took out "Journey to the West" that was rebroadcast over and over again, and continued to rake in the ratings!
There are so many TV stations in China, and Minghu Culture has made it clear that they will only talk to you for the second round. This is already giving the other side a lot of face. If they continue to cling to the price, what should they do if the other party becomes angry and directly replaces them?
Finally, under the pressure of strong ratings, the two parties "hit it off" before the ratings climbed even higher.
…………
On Monday night, the show resumed airing under the spotlight.
That night, it continued to rise upwards as expected but surprisingly, and officially broke through the 70 ratings mark, achieving the highest ratings of 74.9.
The next day, when this viewership rating appeared in all major and small media across the country, it immediately attracted more people's attention—this may become the second film in seven years that is expected to challenge the ascent of "Journey to the West". The TV series with the highest general ratings!
On that night, its ratings did live up to expectations and went up again. However, it seemed that it had encountered some kind of strong resistance. In fact, this resistance had already begun to appear, but it was not so obvious before— —Once the ratings exceed 50%, in fact, for any TV series, it will encounter its own ceiling.
So, in the end, on Tuesday night, the twentieth episode, which is exactly half of the whole TV series, got the highest ratings of 75.8! Compared with yesterday, it only slightly increased its ratings by 0.7 points when it received the attention of the whole people!
And when another day passed, on this Wednesday night, its ratings finally declined for the first time since its broadcast.
When the White Snake was imprisoned in the Leifeng Pagoda, when Xiaoqing was finally accepted into the crystal bottle of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and when Xu Xian began to practice with hair, even though Xu Shilin's story still touched the hearts of thousands of viewers, how could the White Snake? Timely walking out of the Leifeng Pagoda and being reunited with Xu Xian also made the audience worry about it, but after all, the high tide has passed, and the ratings will inevitably decline.
The twenty-first and twenty-second episodes, the highest ratings of this TV series are 72.5.
So, in the newspapers the next morning, everyone believed that the TV series had begun to enter a downward curve, and the highest ratings of 75.8 had also been fixed accordingly.
Of course, even if the audience rating is only 75.8, it is enough to make it rank after "Journey to the West" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and become another daunting peak among domestic TV dramas!
And with the highest ratings of this TV series being "fixed" at a high level of 75.8 rating points, and with the enthusiasm of the whole country talking about white snakes, Bai Yujing, Zhu Qiang, Zhong Ling, Zhou Yuhai and other actors, in just a dozen days Within a short period of time, they took up positions one after another, completing their leap from an ordinary actor or former famous actor to a popular TV star!
The crew who had already signed performance contracts with Zhou Yuhai, Zhong Ling and others at a very low price before, can secretly laugh, because as the ratings of this TV series are rising steadily, when they have changed from old dramas to From Zhong Ling to "Xiaoqing", from Zhou Yuhai to "Fahai", from Huarunsheng to "Xu Xian and his brother-in-law", the film and television scripts that major film and television companies in the industry are about to start shooting , and soon they were delivered to them one after another. At this time, the prices offered by these crews for them were no longer the same as before.
Moreover, considering that so many dramas want to invite them to play roles, they can not only choose scripts and roles according to their own preferences, but also need to "negotiate" about the price.
Of course, the two most important characters in this TV series, Bai Yujing and Zhu Qiang, who have become almost unmatched in popularity at this time, are strangely hard to find.
The former, everyone knew that she was in Chang'an Mansion, but they couldn't find her at all, and the latter, after being raided by reporters with long guns and short cannons, seemed to be frightened, and then hid in the Shuntian Film Center. The college is not coming out, and it is said that he has not accepted a new film contract for the time being. It seems that he is going to finish his senior course honestly.
It's just that the various film and television companies and brokerage companies in the industry are offering the best treatment and contracts one after another, trying to get the two free agents to join them. According to the internal information of HUNAN Satellite TV, after the first broadcast and before the second round of broadcast, HUNAN Satellite TV will try to recruit several main actors of the "Legend of the White Snake" crew, including Bai Yujing and Zhu Qiang. Invitation to come over and participate in a variety show.
But then, the three programs of Huaxia TV released a rather embarrassing preview-on September 15th, Wednesday, that is, the day after the "Legend of the New White Snake" on HUNAN Satellite TV finished broadcasting, they will have a The new program is officially launched.
The name of the program is "Ruoxuan is Coming", the host is Sun Ruoxuan from Rose Power, and the first guest of her talk show is Bai Yujing, Zhu Qiang and Zhong Ling, the white lady trio.
Of course, with the popularity of "Legend of the New White Snake", the only person who can compete with Bai Yujing's popularity must be Li Qian, who has already been popular to a certain extent.
This work of his, which has been controversial since the filming started, and the cross-border knife, which has been even more controversial since the filming of the work, have basically disappeared by now.
In the past, people all over the country have more or less heard of his name. They know that he is a famous musical talent and the lead singer of a famous band. Minghu culture, but now, when mentioning him, many people will say: Oh, Li Qian, I know, the white lady he filmed is good!
Yes, Li Dacai has a new title.
He can be called Director Li.
However, of course, although he seems to be more popular after being promoted to "Director Li", as always, it is very difficult to find him in person. At this time when "Legend of the New White Snake" was at its hottest, he actually disappeared from the Yangjuan Hutong and the office building of Minghu Culture at the same time, and almost no one knew where he went.
***
Volume three, by far the longest volume, is finished.
Stay tuned for the next volume.
In addition, if you have it in your hand and it is not difficult, I beg you to have a ticket in your hand.
There are more than two hundred chapters, a volume of more than one million words, and it is not easy to write all the way.
