Chapter 603: It Was over in Seconds
No TV series can be perfect, and no TV series can satisfy all viewers.
As an up-and-comer who works in the film and television industry, Pidan understands that the drama "Bright Sword" has undergone artistic processing.
But the impact of these processing is limited, and it will make the show better to watch.
"War" also underwent artistic processing, and the effect was different.
"The two protagonists Wang Jiahao and Bai Shuyan are a bit too pretentious. There are a few places where the emotional expression is not very good. I don't know what the crew thinks. Can't you wear dirty clothes if you are a high-ranking actor?"
Pi Dan made a few comments in his mind.
He recorded some of his thoughts and planned to wait and see what would happen next.
Tonight, after the two dramas premiered, discussions immediately emerged on the Internet.
At first glance, it is all about the discussion about "Lighting Fire". On the other hand, there are also discussions about "Bright Sword", but not as much as "Lighting Fire".
The reason is very simple, because "Catching Fire" has a navy and a large number of fans doing data.
"Wang Jiahao is so handsome, he kills me in uniform!"
"Blessed Shuyan is incomparably beautiful in a cheongsam, the number one cheongsam goddess in domestic entertainment!"
"Support the war!"
Such remarks abound.
There are too many people discussing it, and "Bright Sword" seems to be a lot less.
In these discussions, the evaluations were unanimous, that is, this drama is very good to watch.
Tonight, there are also many older people watching TV at home.
In a certain house, a middle-aged man was sitting on the sofa, holding a remote control in his hand and constantly switching channels.
After he switched to the CCTV, he found that "War on Fire" was playing, so he stopped and watched it.
But after looking at it for a while, his brows wrinkled.
He felt that there were some parts in the play that made him uncomfortable, but he still wrote the play down.
He planned to go around all the TV stations, and if there was still no good TV, he would come back and continue watching this one.
Not long after, he switched the channel to Changan Satellite TV.
What was playing on Changan Satellite TV was "Bright Sword".
After a while, he took it in.
I watched it until after ten o'clock, and the third episode was still playing on TV.
After taking a shower, my wife came to the living room, wiped her hair and said, "Hurry up and take a shower, you smell of sweat."
The middle-aged man said: "Don't worry, just go after watching this episode."
My wife looked at the TV, and Li Yunlong was talking on the TV.
After watching it for a while, both of them were hooked.
After the third episode was played, the middle-aged man said: "Liangjian, this drama is good, let's continue watching it tomorrow night!"
His wife also said: "This TV series is really good. I remember it was Xu Ye's drama."
The middle-aged man said in surprise: "No wonder, Xu Ye's drama is so good! It's better than the one on CCTV just now!"
Scenes like this are happening all over the country.
Early the next morning, Ancheng TV station director Huang Bo came to the office, and his subordinates reported yesterday's ratings to him as usual.
Huang Bo's expectation for the premiere ratings of the drama "Bright Sword" is to be above 1.9, but not more than 2. It will not be a problem to exceed 2 when word-of-mouth fertilizes later, but it is unlikely on the first day.
As for surpassing Central Station, that is even more impossible.
Huang Bo was confident in Xu Ye's strength, but he was not complacent.
He was not in a hurry to read the file. Instead, he made a cup of tea first, placed the large glass teacup on the table, and then opened the folder.
He looked down from the top program first.
When he saw "Bright Sword", his eyes suddenly widened.
"Is there an error in the statistics?"
Last night, the average ratings of the three episodes of "Bright Sword" were as high as 2.35!
This is just the premiere!
Everyone in Huangbo was numb.
Throughout this year, no TV series has had such high ratings for its premiere!
This is a record-breaking figure!
Huang Bo's expression became serious.
This is no joke.
If there is a problem with the statistics of his subordinates, he must severely criticize it.
He opened the detailed ratings statistics of "Bright Sword".
He read it carefully from beginning to end.
The initial ratings of "Bright Sword" were what he expected, but they started to rise halfway through.
By the time the first episode ended, the ratings were already as high as 2.21.
Normally, when the second episode is aired, the ratings will drop.
As a result, by the second episode of "Bright Sword", not only did it not drop, but it even got higher.
This is extremely scary, no audience is lost!
By the third episode, something even more terrifying happened, and it’s still rising!
By the end of the third episode, the ratings reached their peak.
"It's not like the data was miscalculated."
Huang Bo directly called the person in charge of data.
"Are you sure the data is correct?"
"Don't worry, Director. I thought the data was wrong at first. I checked and there was no problem. This is the most authentic data!"
The staff in charge of the data had obviously expected this and immediately answered Huang Bo's question.
He continued: "Director, let me tell you another piece of good news. Didn't CCTV broadcast "War on Fire" last night? Their average ratings were 2.29, which was lower than ours, but their peak ratings were higher than ours. ”
Everyone in Huangbo was numb.
After he hung up the phone, his expression was dull.
"The ratings have surpassed that of CCTV? Is it that simple? Is it surpassed?"
Huang Bo simply couldn't believe it.
He immediately turned on his computer and checked the ratings data of various platforms.
The statistics of different platforms are slightly different, but within these platforms, there is no doubt that the ratings of "Bright Sword" have surpassed "Lighting Fire".
There is no need to wait a few days for word of mouth to ferment, and there is no need to wait a few days.
That’s enough for the first day!
On the Internet, major marketing accounts have also published ratings data.
For a moment, the fans of "Catching Fire" were dumbfounded.
"It's impossible, right? Why is Chang'an TV's ratings higher than those of CCTV!"
"There is no one around me who can see the bright sword, it must be fake!"
"Not many people on the Internet are talking about Liangjian, how can it be so high!"
Not to mention that these fans were confused, even Liang Jigang was confused.
He used every means to promote "War on Fire", but the ratings on the first day were dropped by "Bright Sword".
"There is only a 0.06 gap, there is still a chance!" Liang Jigang kept saying in his heart.
A layer of cold sweat broke out on his body.
As for Song Zhengqi, he became furious after learning the news and called all the directors and screenwriters over.
"Tell me what's the reason for this!" Song Zhengqi said angrily.
Director Zhang Hongkai explained: "I also watched Liang Jian last night. The rhythm of Liang Jian is very fast, which is very attractive to the audience. Our drama is still being laid. Don't worry, Mr. Song, our drama will be released soon." The climax of the plot is about to come, and the plot will be full of tension! ”
Zhang Hongkai doesn't think there is anything wrong with "Catching Fire".
He continued: "Also, the publicity Xu Ye gave Liang Jian at the graduation party was too great. This may also be the reason for the high ratings. This is only temporary!"
Song Zhengqi nodded. He felt that what Zhang Hongkai said made sense.
The popularity that that graduation party brought to "Bright Sword" was indeed too high.
There is still not much discussion about "Bright Sword" on the Internet, which is strange.
In the evening, the fourth and fifth episodes of "Bright Sword" were broadcast.
In these two episodes, Li Yunlong won the battle, drank with Zhao Gang and made friends, and the relationship between the two also significantly eased.
Chu Yunfei also met Li Yunlong in the fifth episode, and what Li Yunlong said was quite yin and yang.
The barrage was also lively.
No way, there are so many jokes about Li Yunlong that the audience finds it interesting just to watch him bicker with Zhao Gang.
Later in the fifth episode, Li Yunlong, Chu Yunfei and Zhao Gang sat down to discuss the current situation and express their opinions.
Li Yunlong said: "When you are a soldier, you must have momentum and the energy to fight to the end. It is like a swordsman. When he meets his opponent on a narrow road, he finds that the opponent is actually the best swordsman in the world. At this time, he knows that he will die, but he must show his sword. , If you don’t have this courage, don’t be a swordsman. It’s not shameful to fall under the sword of your opponent. It’s honorable to be defeated! We Chinese soldiers cannot be cowards. We must use our swords whenever we encounter enemies.”
Many viewers slapped their thighs after hearing this.
"well said!"
This passage is also a reference to the title of the play.
The next morning, the ratings were announced again.
"Bright Sword" 2.41.
"War on Fire" 2.33.
The ratings of both dramas have increased, but even if they have increased, the ratings of "War on Fire" are still not as good as "Bright Sword".
The gap between the two dramas has even widened a bit.
For a time, the Internet became lively again.
Fans of "Catching Fire" are already anxious.
"Who on earth is watching Bright Sword? How can the ratings be so high!"
"The ratings are not directly proportional to the discussion!"
"There must be something wrong!"
One thing that these fans have never thought about is that there is a big difference between the show "Bright Sword" and "Wulin Gaiden", and "Hurry".
Many viewers who watch "Bright Sword" don't go online at all, and even if they go online, they don't bother to post any discussions online.
But this time, fans finally scolded the viewers of "Bright Sword".
"Concentrate on watching the show, don't disturb me."
"This type of drama has to be compared online. I think it's disrespectful to those heroes."
"Fans on the Burning Plains side, please stop jumping. We just don't want to rely on this to gain popularity. It doesn't mean we can't."
Everyone didn’t argue with these fans, they just said a few words and stopped talking.
Blue Bird Entertainment.
From time to time, there would be the sound of something breaking in Song Zhengqi's office.
This made Song Zhengqi's secretary's legs tremble a little, and she was considering whether to ask for leave.
In Song Zhengqi's condition, he would suffer a lot if he stayed here.
Song Zhengqi called director Zhang Hongkai over again.
He said angrily: "Tell me what's going on!"
Zhang Hongkai was a little panicked now, but he still explained: "Don't worry, Mr. Song, tonight is the climax of our plot. I promise, today's data will definitely come up!"
Song Zhengqi said coldly: "It's best to get up!"
Zhang Hongkai vowed: "Yes."
In tonight's updated episode, the male protagonist of "A Prairie Fire" leads an assault team to capture an enemy position, which is a major flashpoint in the plot.
There was a difference in the ratings in the past two days. Zhang Hongkai thinks it is because of the fast pace of "Bright Sword".
The audience has too little patience.
Everyone will definitely stay to see the battle scene tonight.
It was soon eight o'clock in the evening.
"Bright Sword" updated the sixth and seventh episodes.
What Zhang Hongkai didn't know was that the seventh episode of Bright Sword also had a high-energy scene.
That is "Cavalry Company, attack!"
