Chapter 414 Popularity

Generally speaking, it is difficult for a TV series to have very high ratings when it first airs!

You have to wait for the plot to unfold and advance, and cooperate with the publicity, so that more people will watch it...

The premiere ratings of "Housekeeper" broke 2...

Taking over "Dae Jang Geum"!

The ratings of the last episode of "Dae Jang Geum" were 4.89%!

But this breaking of 2 still shocked the relevant person in charge of Hunan Satellite TV, because the first broadcast ratings of "Dae Jang Geum" were only 1.83%.

Is it going to create another hit movie?

Hmm... okay, but judging from the ratings, it failed to become a hit - when Lin Wanrong came to help the Xiao Mansion, that is, in the tenth episode, the national ratings of "The Great Butler" exceeded 3...

The viewership share also accounted for 11.8%...

This increase is not particularly large...

It’s understandable, after all, “The Great Butler” is too male-focused and doesn’t suit the tastes of mainstream TV audiences…

But the online discussion exploded!

Lin Wanrong is treacherous, cunning, greedy, lustful, and his appearance cannot be said to be handsome, but he has the responsibilities and responsibilities that a man should have. He has never evaded, and he has never deceived anyone who is close to him. A scoundrel, just a rogue. Such a magnanimous scoundrel, obscene, very naturally obscene.

This character is so good!

Of course, a bunch of seductive beauties are also an important reason...

In the first season, Lin Wanrong mainly wandered around various sects in Jinling and Beijing to pick up girls.

Relaxing and funny + cool writing + harem, these three tags are enough for YY!

It just so happens that mainstream netizens are very fond of this genre...

Many people say that "The Best Servant" is "The Deer and the Cauldron" + "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance"...'

Or 'Pure YY fantasy...'

Even Liao Gaoxiang admitted: "It was indeed a fantasy at the beginning. I just wanted to write it how I wanted to feel comfortable. I added all the elements of Hongxing, Shuangxiu, secret books, drugging... But in the first half of writing, I started to get involved in officialdom... I began to read a lot of "History of the Song Dynasty" and "The Complete Biography of Shuo Yue"... I hope to give Lin Wanrong a patriotic, passionate, and unafraid of power image!"

However, many media judged that Liao Gaoxiang was a Song Dynasty through "The Best Butler"...

Netizens also scolded him in various ways - the Song Dynasty at this stage cannot be criticized, just like Qin Shihuang is synonymous with cruelty. The Song Dynasty was extremely prosperous economically and culturally. Even historian Chen Yinke emphasized when evaluating the culture of the Song Dynasty: " The culture of the Chinese nation has evolved over thousands of years and reached its peak in the Zhao and Song Dynasties."

Liao Gaoxiang…

Too lazy to deal with this, if he has time, he would rather go to the Internet cafe and play two Dota...

Zhao Linhai and Zhao Xin were fighting against each other online. Just two people couldn't beat each other!

After all, their popularity is very different...

Shen Xudong couldn't stand it anymore and wrote directly on his blog: "The Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty, and all the dynasties that have controlled the Central Plains since the Han Dynasty have set many unique achievements: the only dynasty that has never touched the edge of the Great Wall from beginning to end; the only one The dynasty that completely lost control of the Hetao area; the only dynasty that never controlled the important northern town of Yanjing, except for a brief period of control for a few days when the alliance with the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Liao Dynasty;

By the way, it was the only dynasty that was severely beaten by Vietnam. Traveling to Nanning to celebrate the Spring Festival - this was only achieved once in history, and it made Vietnam bragging for a thousand years. ’

In fact, academic circles in the Ming and Qing dynasties have been debating which of the Liao, Jin, and Song Dynasties was the orthodox Chinese dynasty.

I have to thank Qianlong for this. Qianlong said that the Song Dynasty was the orthodoxy, and that was the end of it; but "History of Liao" was selected into the Twenty-Four Histories... Based on this alone, the status of the Song Dynasty is almost the same as that of the southern dynasties. After all, the Liao Dynasty was selected as the Twenty-Four Histories... The founding of the country was earlier than yours. ’

‘From the perspective of historical impact, the Han and Tang Dynasties’ thousands of years of sinicization of the Western Regions have been completely lost; in the south, Vietnam has completed its national construction and completely separated from the Central Plains;

What's wrong with scolding you? Not directly expelling you from your status as a unified dynasty is already the greatest honor for you. ’

'Paradoxically, judging from the books left by the Song people, quite a few people in the Song Dynasty felt that they were much better than those in the Han and Tang Dynasties... Later, I roughly understood that it was enough for the scholar-bureaucrats to feel that they lived a comfortable life. After all, they had the right to speak. In their hands! ’

'I don't deny that Song Dynasty had its contribution, but compared with the damage it did to China, it was really harmful and no good! It’s a rubbish dynasty. If I weren’t worried about “The Great Butler” being reported for editing history, I really want to let Lin Wanrong return to the Song Dynasty directly! ’

After publishing…

Of course it’s another discussion!

The economy, culture, and art of the Song Dynasty were indeed unprecedentedly prosperous, and a large number of famous writers were born...

Coupled with the praise of a group of people, at this stage, everyone has a strong impression of the Song Dynasty!

But what Shen Xudong wrote is also true...

There is a lot of support for Shen Xudong, but even more rebuttals...

Noisy!

Everyone expresses their opinion...

It's good. The popularity online will affect the offline ones. On the 15th day of the broadcast of "The Great Butler", which is the 30th episode, I entered the palace to meet the saint, and the ratings broke 5!

At this time, everyone knows that "The Great Butler" is definitely a hit drama!

Then the second-round quotations skyrocketed...

…

"The Ultimate Butler" is part of Hunan Satellite TV's first round of exclusive broadcasts.

Exclusive broadcasting, to put it simply, means that the TV station pays a high price to buy the right to broadcast the first round. When I broadcast it, other TV stations cannot broadcast it. After I finish broadcasting, other TV stations can broadcast the second and third rounds...

When Hunan Satellite TV won the exclusive rights to broadcast "Housekeeper", many satellite TVs actually had second-round offers, but Gao Fenfen rejected them...

She felt that "Housekeeper" was a hit drama at the very least, and the quotes from those TV stations were too low!

She won...

Now, "The Ultimate Butler" has become a hit, so...the second-round quotations and the third-round quotations are soaring...

After a few days of back-and-forth, four satellite TV stations finally signed a second-round contract worth 120,000 yuan per episode.

Eleven other local stations won the third round, priced at RMB 40,000 per episode, and there were even fourth and fifth rounds, but the price was even lower, less than RMB 10,000 per episode...

But I’ve already made a lot of money!

The cost of "Housekeeper" was 22 million. It sold 24 million in the first round of solo broadcast, 19.2 million in the second round, and 17.6 million in the third round...

A TV series makes more than 100% profit...

Of course, "The Great Butler" is a drama controlled by Tianmei Media, with investment from Ciwen Media, Taihe Culture, and Tang Ren.

Tianmei Media invested about 11 million, which only accounted for half of the investment.

That’s a net profit of over 10 million...

I also have the book copyright!

There are even online game companies that want to develop a game of the same name...

Moreover, a group of actors have benefited from the popularity of "The Great Butler". Zeng Li, the second sister of Tianmei Media, has become popular. Tang Yan has also greatly improved the national popularity with her quality and the popularity of the TV series...

Screenwriter Liao Gaoxiang's name has also spread in the circle.

Then, Gao Fenfen announced that "The Best Butler Season 2" has officially launched!

It immediately attracted media attention...

Gao Fenfen didn't say anything about when it would be launched, whether the original team would be retained, or how much it would cost. He just said: "Xudong needs to make the decision!"

"…Where is Xudong?"

"He went to the United States, and he was asked to be a screenwriter for a movie..."

Um?
