Chapter 416: China and South Korea Both Flourish!

China domestically.

At this time, "Avatar" has not yet been released in China, and even the news that the movie is being released overseas is not a big news in China.

Now the Chinese domestic audience is more concerned about another thing!

"The Lonely and Brilliant God: Ghost" is now on air!

This TV series is not only broadcast in South Korea, but also broadcast simultaneously in China!

In the era of light and shadow, he is good at dancing. Not only did he cooperate with CJ in South Korea, the drama was also sold to Mango Channel in China, and a gimmick was negotiated for simultaneous broadcast in China and South Korea.

At 8pm on January 1st, "The Lonely and Brilliant God·Ghost" will be broadcast on Mango Golden Eagle Channel.

Because the broadcasting methods of TV series between the two countries are different, "Goblin" is broadcast twice a day in China, and it is broadcast for two consecutive days every Friday and Saturday.

However, the two episodes edited in China are only one episode of the Korean version.

After all, according to domestic regulations, the length of a TV series is limited to about forty minutes.

So in fact, the first and second episodes aired on the 1st were only the first episodes of the Korean version.

Compared to South Korea, "Goblin" was launched with even greater momentum in China.

Both Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei are well-known figures in the country, and they can be regarded as a national couple.

This time they team up to star in an idol drama. Just for this gimmick, anyone in China who likes to watch TV dramas must not miss it.

Mango Channel is now the best TV station in China in the field of TV dramas, and it also has a wave of fans.

Thanks to this strong alliance, on the first day of 2009, when "Ghost" was broadcast on Mango Channel, it became the TV station with the highest ratings that day in the first five minutes.

"Damn it, idol dramas can still be filmed like this!"

"This is completely like a movie!"

"Although Director Wu is only an actor in this drama, I don't believe it if you say that the director didn't listen to him and film it!"

"Is this a dimensionality reduction attack? "Goblin" is the strongest idol drama in China. Who is in favor of it and who is against it?"

"I am really stupid and naive. The idol drama that Director Wu personally participated in is definitely different from ordinary idol dramas."

"It feels like watching CCTV6. Isn't this really a movie?"

On the first day it aired, "Goblin" shocked the entire internet.

Without him, the audience would never have seen such a well-produced idol drama!

What is the level of today’s idol dramas?

Taiwanese dramas such as "The Prince Turns into a Frog", "The Princess" and "Stairway to Heaven", or domestic remakes such as "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower".

Although, these idol dramas are indeed at the pinnacle of this era.

But compared with Korean dramas more than ten years later, the makeup, props, and production standards of idol dramas of this era are very different.

Wu Yuan recreated this drama exactly as he envisioned "Goblin", which can be said to be more than ten years ahead of current Korean and Taiwanese dramas!

And he also used the filming method of the movie in the first episode at the beginning.

What is the way of shooting a movie?

To put it simply, the aspect ratio is 2.35:1, not the 4:3 that is common in TV series today.

To put it bluntly, in the first episode of "Goblin", the scenes involving the male protagonist's ancient plot have a lot of black borders at the top and bottom, and the proportions are elongated like the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival".

In addition, Wu Yuan used the lighting and texture of the movie, which makes this part of the plot look the same as that of "Hero", with a full sense of epic movie and nothing like a TV series.

This kind of "imitation" filming technique of TV series is still quite common in later generations.

Not to mention that many TV dramas in later generations will zoom out to 2.35:1 in key plots, and some advertisements do this.

For example, a very popular advertisement of later generations, "The Last Transfer in Mobei of the Tang Dynasty", used a 2.35:1 frame throughout, making this ten-minute micro-movie advertisement look the same as a movie.

This kind of shooting technique is not unusual in later generations, but in 2009, it was really novel.

After watching it, the audience felt that it was so profitable. They felt like they had spent money watching TV but got to see a good movie at a bargain!

Although the big-assed TVs in our homes sacrifice resolution and cannot be as high-definition as movies, what else do we need for free?

In addition, the lead actors in this drama are handsome and the female is beautiful, and the plot is very novel at the moment. Under the guidance of Wu Yuan, Song Yang also shot it with high quality.

Needless to say, after being taught by Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou, Wu Yuan’s current film shooting technology and aesthetic level are absolutely nothing to say. At least in the TV drama circle, it is definitely a dimensionality reduction blow.

Under his guidance, Song Yang's "Goblin" has the beauty of Wong Kar-Wai's "Flowers". The picture can easily beat all domestic TV drama directors.

It can be said that even the most demanding viewers cannot find faults with this show!

"If all Chinese idol dramas were as well-produced as "Goblin" and were made into TV dramas with the same level of filmmaking, then Chinese TV dramas would have become popular in Asia long ago!"

"As expected of Director Wu, once he takes action, the TV drama industry will be changed!"

""Goblin" is so good! It's completely different from the idol dramas I've seen before. If I had to use one word to describe it, it would be "advanced"!"

To be honest, "Goblin" was really a bit of a dimensionality reduction when it was placed in 2009.

This TV series was also called "high-end" when it was broadcast in the original time and space. Whether it was the camera movement, the aesthetics of the picture, or the makeup of the actors, the overall impression it brought was far better than the domestic idol dramas at that time, and it was even considered a new trend in South Korea.

Even five years after "Goblin" was broadcast, ten years later, many TV drama directors in the mainland are still imitating the camera movement and filter application of this TV series.

Wu Yuan brought this drama to the present, even if it was only restored to 70% or 80%, it would be enough to refresh the definition of "idol drama" for audiences in China and South Korea.

South Korea's current idol dramas have not developed to such a high level. South Korea's current idol dramas are also at the level of "Full House", "Boys Over Chunhyang" and "Witch Yoo Hee".

It was not until "My Love from the Star" that South Korea's idol dramas became high-end.

Now, this high-end style is led by Wu Yuan.

After the end of Soul Ferry, Guangying Kuaibo, which had been gradually cooling down and had fewer and fewer daily active users, welcomed another surge in online users after the launch of Goblin!

No membership recharge or advance on-demand is required. As long as you register an account, netizens can watch the latest episode of Goblin online in high definition on Guangying Kuaibo!

This feeling of being able to watch it whenever you want is so cool!

In South Korea, the first time they enjoyed the treatment of being able to watch the latest TV series online at any time, the Korean audience was even more excited!

"So Chinese audiences usually eat so well?!"

"Watching the latest TV series online in high definition, and it's free, it's so cool!" (End of this chapter)
