Chapter 133: Overstepping the Boundaries and Becoming the Biggest Winner (Subscription Required)

"The Right Way to Be Independent" premiered on Tan Sheng TV at 7:45 on the first day, with two episodes updated.

Then, at 10 pm, 8 episodes were updated on Yikan Video.

It can be said that although "The Murderer in the Portrait" premiered one day earlier than "The Right Way to Be Independent", the update progress of the two dramas today is the same.

Both are 8 episodes.

But the content is very different.

For example, "The Murderer in the Portrait" is a unit drama, and although there are two male protagonists, the current 4 cases are all cases involving women.

Group portrait drama.

The current "The Murderer in the Portrait" can actually be said to be a group portrait drama. The two male protagonists Lin Xing and Zhou Wei are mainly responsible for solving the case, but the leading actresses of each unit drama are the most outstanding.

More importantly, from beginning to end, the external publicity of "The Murderer in the Portrait" did not use the "female" point to promote it.

Originally, the publicity and promotion hoped to promote it from this aspect. After all, they all believed that the women in many cases of "The Murderer in the Portrait" were extremely bright, and they also paid attention to the difficulties of women from all walks of life.

But Ma Wen refused.

He thought that if the publicity of "The Murderer in the Portrait" was about the difficulties of women, and even the women in the case were used as a selling point, then the publicity would be a bit deliberate to use the difficulties of women as a gimmick, and it would be easy for people to misunderstand the tone of the whole drama.

After all, "The Murderer in the Portrait" is not about women alone. It is a criminal investigation drama, and solving the case is the main line, just like the fourth case is obviously about men as the protagonist.

Whether it was Ma Wen's publicity or when Wang Yi wrote the script at the beginning, he just wanted to write the script well. He didn't think about writing a drama with a male or female protagonist.

Everything is for the plot.

In this respect, Wang Yi is not like Xiao Li, the screenwriter of "The Right Way to Open Independence". Xiao Li has always been a well-known screenwriter, unlike Wang Yi, who is a little transparent.

Xiao Li has a high presence on Weibo. The scripts she wrote have performed well in recent years, which makes Xiao Li well-known in the industry.

According to Xiao Li, the script of "The Right Way to Be Independent" took her three years to write. Xiao Li even said that she wrote about the dilemma of women.

"Nowadays, society is too malicious towards women, and many excellent women have to sacrifice themselves to become housewives because of their families. However, housewives are the least secure. No matter how rich your husband is, it has nothing to do with you. This is also the reason why I wrote this drama. I hope that women will stop fighting each other and unite together."

This is what Xiao Li said before the broadcast of "The Right Way to Be Independent".

Then, today, many people came to Xiao Li's comment area to leave messages because they felt that "The Right Way to Be Independent" was dragged out, the rhythm was too slow, and there were problems with "The Right Way to Be Independent".

In response, Xiao Li posted a Weibo at 1 a.m.: "The Right Way to Be Independent" has just started broadcasting. I hope everyone will be more patient. A TV series cannot climax at the beginning. This is a 40-episode TV series, and many lines need to be paved..."

How to say it? ?

When the main creator begins to explain his work, it often means that there must be a problem with the work.

Now, "The Right Way to Be Independent" has only been on the air for a few hours, and Xiao Li quickly expressed her hope that the audience would be quiet. It is obvious that Xiao Li attaches great importance to "The Right Way to Be Independent".

But many people do not accept her voice.

"Nonsense, you are a mature screenwriter, can't you tell what is water? What is foreshadowing? 8 episodes have passed and the marriage has not been divorced, and they have even been talking about the second child. Have you forgotten what the focus of this drama is? ?"

"Is the right way to be independent and self-reliant to give your husband a second child? I am now looking forward to the protagonist's divorce, but as of now, I think this marriage will not be divorced in another 10 episodes."

"Don't tell me to wait until 20 episodes before getting divorced."

...

Many people in the comment area bought it.

Some people also said: "I'm not trying to pull anyone down. I suggest Xiao Li to watch "The Murderer in the Portrait". I hope you can see what foreshadowing is, what the main line is not messy, and what the side lines are exciting."

"Damn, is "The Murderer in the Portrait" so good? Didn't it flop?"

"Anyway, I watched "The Murderer in the Portrait" and I think it's okay. Compared with "The Right Way to Be Independent", I think "The Murderer in the Portrait" is better."

"Oh my god, is this true? This web drama is so good?"

"The people above are the "The Murderer in the Portrait" water army."

...

Xiao Li's comment area suddenly went off topic.

At first, everyone was indeed discussing the shortcomings of the TV series "The Right Way to Be Independent", but after a while, the comment area began to discuss "The Murderer in the Portrait".

And it seemed like a spontaneous water army.

Another half an hour passed.

"I think those who say that "The Murderer in the Portrait" is good may not be trolls. I just quickly watched two episodes of "The Murderer in the Portrait" and I think it is very good."

"I saw that everyone in the discussion area said that the second case of "The Murderer in the Portrait" is good. I watched it and it is indeed good. Everyone should go and watch it. This case really has a happy ending."

"Yes, I admit that the above person is not lying. Everyone can just watch the second case of "The Murderer in the Portrait". It made me feel depressed in the middle of the night. This case is really good for depression."

……

"You people are so damn wicked. The second case in "Portrait of a Murderer" is a special "Campus Burial Case". I cried most of the night while watching it because I remembered what I suffered in high school. School bullying.”

"Yes, I really think "Portrait of a Murderer" is good. Every case is grounded."

"Please be mentally prepared for the second case, I won't spoil it."

…

Xiao Li's comment area immediately exploded.

This left many passers-by confused when they woke up the next day.

"Nima, I almost thought Xiao Li was the screenwriter of "Portrait of a Murderer", why is this on her Weibo??"

"Someone must have compared "Portrait of a Murderer" to "The Correct Way to Open an Independent".

"These two movies are so incompatible? "Portrait of a Murderer" is a piece of cake."

…

No wonder everyone thinks "Portrait of a Murderer" is a hit.

Because the current popularity of "Portrait of a Murderer" is far from rising, and its ranking is even more ridiculously low.

On the contrary, "The Right Way to Open Independence" currently ranks first in total popularity, and it has exceeded 10,000.

What is this concept? ? ?

Less than 24 hours after its premiere, the total popularity ranking has already exceeded 10,000. Basically, among the many dramas this year, only "Sweet Man" exploded with popularity approaching 30,000 after its premiere.

In addition, even "Like My Dad, Like My Mom" ​​only exceeded 10,000 views during the climax of the day. As for the dramas in the first half of this year, there is really no drama that has exceeded 10,000 views in the first 24 hours.

So, is it not too much to say that "Portrait of a Murderer" is as popular as "The Correct Way to Open an Independent"? ?

Fans of Zhao Yining, Xu Tong and others have begun to criticize "Portrait of a Murderer" for looking ugly.

From the perspective of fans, criticizing "The Correct Way to Open Independence" is criticizing the rightful owner of our family, and that is making us an enemy.

Even if some passers-by really just said that there was a problem with the writing rhythm of "The Right Way to Be Independent" and a problem with the director's cuts, they did not talk about the problems with the actors.

But Nima is of no use.

Because fans can't tolerate anything bad about their main character, there is a saying that they love the black and the black.

Therefore, this is also one of the reasons why many works are willing to use popular artists, that is, fans can help them fight against gangsters, control reviews, and promote them.

For one money, you can get two benefits.

As mentioned before, Zhao Yining and Xu Tong belong to the acting traffic group among female artists. They usually make data to maintain their own traffic, so they will definitely buy data during the launch of a drama.

After "The Correct Way to Be Independent" aired last night, the managers of Zhao Yining and Xu Tong have been monitoring public opinion.

When they discovered public opinion, especially some criticisms in the first eight episodes of "The Right Way to Be Independent", they did not respond directly like Xiao Li did.

They were going to wait 24 hours to take a look before talking.

Because performance determines everything.

If "The Right Way to Open Independence" really hits the street, then they will quickly throw the blame away.

For the leading actors, they represent their own status, but at the same time they also have certain responsibilities.

That's a big deal, and you have to be responsible.

Carrying dramas is the best proof for an actor.

For this reason, as the agents of Zhao Yining and Xu Tong, they have the same idea.

It’s successful because our family can handle the drama.

If we lose, there must be problems in other areas and have nothing to do with us.

As a result, at 8 o'clock in the morning, when the latest data network started to be updated, the managers of Zhao Yining and Xu Tong were already preparing to celebrate.

"The Right Way to Open Independence" ranks first in ratings and popularity of online broadcasts.

How can this not be considered a success? ?

So the managers of these two companies have begun to let fans grab the credit.

This is a double heroine.

The two heroines mean that Zhao Yining and Xu Tong are equal.

So the two people are actually in a competitive relationship.

So if this show fails, both parties will definitely let the other side take the blame. But now that the ratings and popularity are number one on the first day of the show, both parties will definitely take the credit.

So fans of Zhao Bingbing and Xu Tong have already begun to argue.

Of course, fans of both companies did not forget to ridicule some viewers who criticized "The Right Way to Open Independence."

They think that there is no way Xiao Heizi can stop the ascension of the rightful master of our family.

Also, "Portrait of a Murderer" was actually used to teach "The Correct Way to Be Independent" last night.

what is this? ?

This is considered a touch of porcelain.

And it's still a step beyond the level.

Now that "The Right Way to Be Independent" has had a good start after its premiere, all doubts, criticisms, etc. are no longer important.

The industry only looks at the results, not the process.

And the dramas that are criticized more harshly are likely to have better results.

Many times the ratings are directly proportional to the bad blood.

The more outrageous it is, the better the ratings may be.

Five years ago, the movie "Mother's Debt" was criticized as shit as soon as it premiered, and its reputation dropped to rock bottom.

This drama can even be summed up in one sentence, that is, 'My life is nothing, I must give birth to a big fat boy for the young master'.

Then Data Network opened the score and set a new low for TV series, only 2 points, and only 2 points because the lowest score can only be 2 points.

But the ratings of this drama are firmly ranked first, and the popularity value on the Internet is also the first.

Later, this drama was criticized by the Central Bank.

But someone asked a sharp question, that is, before, everyone often said that the people like to watch it, if you don’t like it, who are you?

So, now the people like to watch the drama "Niangzhai", and you don’t like it, what does it matter? ?

At that time, everyone argued fiercely, and the more they argued, the more popular the drama became.

Anyway, this drama can be regarded as a pioneer of black and red.

The plot of "Niangzhai" in the middle and late stages is so bloody that it is the worst of the worst, but the ratings have not dropped, but have risen.

Later, some people wanted to learn from "Niangzhai", but they all failed.

But later, someone summarized that if a TV series wants to have high ratings, it must be bloody, because most of the viewers who watch TV series are middle-aged and elderly people, and they like to watch bloody dramas.

So we saw a lot of urban dramas, such as supporting the brother, keeping a mistress, buying a house and getting married, and naked marriage, but the ratings are all good.

So, everyone thinks that this drama "The Right Way to Be Independence" is also like this.

You can call it melodramatic, you can call it watery, you can call it too many trivial side plots, but now the first broadcast of this drama is indeed the most popular.

It's not embarrassing to have a conflict of time, but it's embarrassing to be the one who fails.

"It's Hard to Be a Good Person" was broadcast at the same time as "The Right Way to Be Independence", but no one even discussed "It's Hard to Be a Good Person".

Yes.

It's already 12 noon, and it has been broadcast for 16 hours, but the number of discussions about "It's Hard to Be a Good Person" on the Internet is ridiculously low.

How low is it? ?

It's even lower than "The Murderer in the Portrait".

As for how embarrassing it is? ?

The many fans of the leading actors of "The Right Way to Be Independence" don't even mock "It's Hard to Be a Good Person".

When a drama is not even criticized, then it is bound to fail.

In the afternoon, the well-known Weibo celebrity ‘Drama Master’ said: “Three crews went to promote this episode of ‘Tonight’s Drama’, but in the end there was only one biggest winner, which was ‘The Right Way to Be Independent’. Facts have proved that urban dramas, especially dramas for women, are still supported by female audiences.”

“Bullshit!”

Zeng Li looked at the Weibo post of ‘Drama Master’ and directly reposted it and cursed: “What kind of female-oriented drama is ‘The Right Way to Be Independent’? Please let the female audience go and stop representing us, okay? x-on:The Right Way to Be Independent, x-on:Zhao Yining, x-on:Xu Tong.”
