Chapter 156: Good Reviews, Listening to Advice, the Real World (Asking for Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)
Perhaps many people have never expected that "Bad Kid" would have such a good start.
Who would have thought? ?
This web drama starring Lin Xing has really become a hit again. This time it is rated A. Of course, the resources announced are based on A+, but even so, the results of this web drama are beyond everyone's expectations. Expected.
But as mentioned before, the show "Bad Kid" has one biggest weakness, or shortcoming, and that is... updates.
The filming-and-broadcasting mode can bring "Bad Kids" a promotional gimmick, but at the same time, because it is filming and broadcasting at the same time, choosing a weekly update mode will naturally cause the audience to become obsessed with the show.
Maintaining a drama is similar to cultivating a book. After a long time, you will lose interest in the drama or the book.
The only good thing is that "Evil Child" only has 12 episodes, so the weekly update time will not be too long, and maybe it can be updated before the audience loses their patience.
In this way, with the help of publicity and the quality of the drama itself, maybe the audience who loves dramas can be brought back in.
This is what Lin Xing said to Deng Ying before, that the third week is crucial for "Evil Child".
The current positive reviews for the premiere can only prove that "Bad Kid" has not been a hit at the time of its release, but as some young people and some passers-by said, whether it can really hold up depends on the future.
The filming-and-broadcasting model in Japan and South Korea often ends badly, with many dramas becoming gods in the early stage, mediocre in the middle stage, and rubbish in the later stage.
Nowadays, the web drama "Bad Kid" is full of gimmicks and high expectations when it first airs. Especially the beginning and end of the first episode have raised the audience's expectations.
Then, it depends on how the plot progresses next.
On Weibo, the famous film critic Xilang posted a review for "Bad Kid". He believed that the quality of the first episode of "Bad Kid" was quite high, and among the actors, Lin Xing's performance was worthy of comparison. It's perfect, his performance is so down-to-earth, and there's not even a hint of an idol artist at all.
In addition, the performances of several other actors, especially the three young actors, are also quite perfect.
Xilang made his final guess: "I think Ding Chaoyang's character is the most three-dimensional among the three characters. He is introverted, sensitive, suspicious, and has many complex aspects to his personality. Look at the details of him holding his hair in the middle of the wardrobe. This is enough to prove that he is thoughtful..."
At the end of the film review, Xi Lang even expressed that he is looking forward to the next plot of "Bad Kid". At the same time, he hopes that the creator of "Bad Kid" will not give up on quality because of the 'shooting and broadcasting' model.
If this web drama can end with a beginning and an end, then he believes that the king of web dramas this year will be born.
…
"I'll go, Old Wolf, your evaluation is a bit high."
"Good guy, I remembered Lao Lang's high-level evaluation of "Sweeping Out". How come you have such a high evaluation of a web drama?"
"That's right. Besides, there's only one episode of "Evil Child". It's a bit ridiculous to say it's the king of online dramas."
"I think the first episode of "Bad Kid" was okay, but that's all."
…
As an independent film critic, Xilang's popularity on Weibo is not weaker than that of Lao Zhong. He is even three points more popular than Lao Zhong.
A few days after the previous "Crime" aired, Xilang began to make a comprehensive film review feature on "Gangster". He believed that Zu Ming's anti-crime drama was a masterpiece.
As for Lin Xing, Xilang really didn't pay much attention to it. He didn't think Lin Xing's Zhou Bo was very exciting. Faced with the wonderful performances of Ren Yi, Song Wen, Wang Fei and other big names, Lin Xing again How good can it be?
The so-called villains are often easy to play well, and the characters who are crazy are easy to gain fans.
After all, the world really needs to go crazy sometimes.
However, Xilang still remembered Lin Xing, an idol artist, the originator of the popular group, and the founder of popular groups. After ten years of being out of fashion, he could still perform the return of the king, and he also became an actor. .
This is magical enough in itself.
Next up is the drama "Portrait of a Murderer". In good conscience, Xi Lang thinks that "Portrait of a Murderer" is indeed good, but he doesn't like it himself.
He still likes the old criminal investigation dramas.
West Wolf was not very touched by some of the down-to-earth cases in "Portrait of a Murderer".
The realistic themes he likes are not the ones in "Portrait of a Murderer".
What he really likes is themes like "Evil Kids".
Human nature is complex.
Xilang was really surprised by Li Dongsheng's character in the first episode of "Bad Kid". His ruthless killing of his father-in-law and mother-in-law made people feel numb and even chilly.
Just imagine, if you meet someone like Li Dongsheng in reality, how could you think that he is a murderer?
He smiles to everyone, always has a light smile on his face, never conflicts with others, and tries his best to teach students. He will not get angry if the students don't want to learn.
Not to mention his colleagues. When many colleagues needed to change courses, he always responded to their requests.
He is often seen as a good man above his neighbors, doing everything from washing to cooking.
You say, who the hell would regard such an honest man as a murderer? ?
But for such a person, he was quite decisive in doing things. How could Li Dongsheng's father-in-law and mother-in-law have ever thought that this useless son-in-law in front of them would dare to kill them? ?
Over the past eight years, they have become accustomed to bullying.
Therefore, Xilang is really curious about the direction of the next plot.
He really wants to know if Li Dongsheng will kill his wife next?
He even wanted to know how evil the three children Ding Chaoyang, Yan Cheng, and Pingping would be since the show was called "Evil Children"? ?
It is obvious that apart from Li Dongsheng, these three children are the real protagonists of this drama.
Yan Cheng's father talked back to others, so will Yan Cheng become a black man? ?
You must know that the retiring police officer who has been arresting Yan Cheng is also a good person. He wants to help Yan Cheng, but Yan Cheng really doesn't want to go back to the orphanage.
In short, Xilang's film review of "Bad Kid" still attracted a lot of attention.
Everyone’s reaction is basically: “Is this show so good?”
In addition to West Wolf, there are also some other film critics who have also written a lot of analysis on "Bad Boys".
Just for an A-level drama like "Bad Kid" to have so many film critics spontaneously write and analyze it, this is already quite successful in itself.
When it was 10 o'clock, the 24-hour data of "Evil Child" was released.
It ranks among the top five in terms of popularity and playback volume across the entire network.
This is because "Evil Child" has just launched with only one episode. If it updates 6 episodes on the first day, then it will not be ranked among the top three in terms of popularity and views on the Internet, but it may even be ranked first.
But even so, "Evil Child" has remained at the top of the list of popular videos on Panda Video for 24 hours.
Soaring to the top of the list.
At the same time, it also ranked first in the praise list.
Number one on both lists.
Not only among web dramas, but also in the field of TV dramas, "Evil Child" as a web drama also surpasses other new dramas.
"Portrait of a Murderer" is a web drama that beats "The Right Way to Be Independent" which was aired at the same time, and also topped the list on Penguin Video.
At that time, everyone felt that "Portrait of a Murderer" was just an exception.
As a result, less than a month later, "Bad Kids" has surpassed other TV series.
What's more important is that this time "Bad Kids" is even more powerful. It doesn't even need tap water for spontaneous group promotion. This show was a fucking explosion when it first aired.
The official V of "Bad Boy" released a poster showing the results of the first day of broadcast, and also said: "Thank you to all the viewers for your support, "Bad Boy" will continue to work hard!"
"No, I just want to ask the official V if you can change the time? I'm going to bed at 10 o'clock, can you update it to 7 o'clock?"
"Yes, I also want to ask. I really don't understand why all movies and TV series have to be updated at 10pm. This is too unfriendly to the student party."
"Yes, it will either be updated at 7 o'clock or 6 o'clock. If that doesn't work, you can just update it at noon. You guys only update two episodes a week, can you update it earlier?"
…
Facing a bunch of people's suggestions in the comment area, the official V of "Evil Child" said: "I got it, I'll change it now!"
So half an hour later, the official V of "Bad Kids" released a drama calendar. At the same time, the drama calendar poster clearly stated: "An episode will be updated every Saturday and Sunday."
The main thing is to listen to advice.
At this time, Lin Xing did not know that the update time of "Bad Kid" had been changed. He was participating in the recording of the variety show "Can I Come to Your House for Dinner".
At 10 o'clock it is the official recording.
Everyone was divided into two groups according to the script, and Lin Xing was paired with Qi Hong.
"The next three groups need to draw lots to decide where to invite passers-by."
As the director, Zhu Li said with a smile, and then took out three lots for everyone to draw.
"Director, what are these three signs?"
Luo Yi asked in cooperation.
Qi Hong on the side also smiled and said: "Yes, director, didn't you say before that we don't need to do the task?"
"These three lots represent how to invite passers-by, or how to ask passers-by to let you into their homes for dinner."
Zhu Li continued: "And this is not a mission."
From the beginning, Zhu Li had no intention of turning this variety show into a mission.
But there is no task, but there is a competition.
Whoever comes first among the three groups will be rewarded, and whoever comes third will be punished.
Rewards and punishments are kept secret for now.
"Then, please start drawing lots."
Zhu Li said.
At this time, Luo Yi turned around and looked at Chen Qianmei and said, "Amei, come and do it."
Chen Qianmei said: "Okay."
In the other group, Xu Fang teamed up with Liu Tian, and Xu Fang gave the opportunity to Liu Tian.
On the contrary, it was Lin Xing and Qi Hong. Qi Hong said directly: "Ladies first, I'll draw."
Lin Xing said: "Okay."
Last night, Lin Xing did not pay much attention to the launch of the drama "Bad Kid". He had been doing some homework for the variety show "Can I Come to Your House for Dinner".
Just like Lin Xing participated in "Tonight's Drama", Lin Xing will also make some preparations for variety shows.
After having a meeting with the creator of the variety show "Can I Come to Your House for Dinner" yesterday at noon, especially after Zhao Fang and Lin Xing talked about Qi Hong, Lin Xing went back and prepared to do some homework.
Lin Xing originally came over to help record two episodes of this variety show, and he saw Zhao Fang's face, and what Zhao Fang said moved Lin Xing.
That is to help promote "Evil Child".
You must know that "Can I Come to Your House for Dinner" is going to be broadcast in mid-May, which is quite reasonable for the promotion of "Bad Kid".
According to the broadcast rhythm of "Bad Kids", mid-May is when the audience's patience reaches its limit.
So it's just right.
For the creators of this variety show "Can I Come to Your House for Dinner", Luo Yi is a veteran, and although Xu Fang is not very old, he has a very high EQ and can be considered a little fox.
On the contrary, Qi Hong has a low EQ and a bit of a princess syndrome.
Lin Xing looked through some news about Qi Hong's previous TV series and variety shows, and he roughly understood why the program team invited Qi Hong.
After all, a variety show always needs a few conspicuous bags, right?
So, since Lin Xing understood the program team's ideas, he didn't care much about Qi Hong's attitude.
Everyone is for work, so just try to cooperate and finish recording the show.
"I'm going to knock on the door of Building 19 of 'Tinglin Town Community' randomly..."
Chen Qianmei said while drawing a lot, and the camera gave the lot a close-up.
Luo Yi smiled and said, "It looks like we need to scan our faces. I hope some residents can recognize me and A Mei, and don't treat us as liars."
"I need to go to the school to find the parents..."
Liu Tian said while holding the lottery.
Xu Fang said this was good: "Tian'er, you are the idol of many primary school students. It's up to you next."
"Let me see what this is?"
Qi Hong also knew how to find the camera.
She finally opened the lottery slowly, and then said speechlessly: "It's too difficult for me to randomly invite people on the street."
The three invitation tasks were decided.
The first group, Luo Yi and Chen Qianmei, needed to knock on the door of the community and ask the residents to let them in for dinner.
The second group was Xu Fang and Liu Tian, who needed to go to the school to invite the parents to let them in for dinner.
The third group was Qi Hong and Lin Xing, who needed to randomly ask others on the street.
"Okay, then ask all kinds of rice balls to find a way to get the inviter to invite them to their home for dinner."
Zhu Li said: "Good luck to you, so let's start now."
Just like that, the recording officially began.
Qi Hong was quite confident at first. She said to Lin Xing: "I'll ask passers-by later. After all, I'm a local. Everyone basically knows me. I believe it's easy."
Lin Xing said: "Okay."
For Lin Xing, he doesn't need to be conspicuous in this variety show. It's enough for him to promote "Bad Kids" during the interview later.
It's very simple. Lin Xing doesn't need people to remember him after watching the variety show. This is not important. What he hopes is that the audience can remember "Bad Kids".
On the street.
Qi Hong first said to a young couple: "Hello, we are..."
But the young couple looked at Qi Hong and the camera behind them and waved their hands and left quickly.
"This is treating us as liars. It's really too much."
Qi Hong said angrily.
Lin Xing smiled and said, "In fact, this fully proves that the anti-fraud propaganda in Shanghai is quite attentive, and we do look like scammers."
Qi Hong was stunned, then smiled and said, "It seems that we still have to think of a way..."
While speaking, Qi Hong looked at the photographer who was following us and said, "Don't follow us for now. Let's go and talk to them first. After we finish talking and they agree, you can follow us. Otherwise, our lineup will be too scary..."
The photographer thought for a while and said, "Teacher Qi, we will stay away from you."
Qi Hong said, "Okay."
Lin Xing smiled secretly in his heart. It seems that few people in the entertainment industry are really fools. Qi Hong obviously realized that he should try not to talk nonsense in front of the camera, otherwise it will easily cause misunderstandings.
"Hello, I'm Qi Hong. Can I go to your house for dinner tonight?"
"Hello, I'm Qi Hong, yes, the Qi Hong you think of. Can I go to your house for dinner?"
"Hello, classmate, do you have any activities tonight?"
...
Because today is Sunday, there are still many people on the street. Lin Xing and Qi Hong did not dare to go to some popular attractions in Magic City, because these places are not suitable for such invitations.
The two were in the shopping malls and business offices in Magic City, where there are mostly young people.
From the beginning, Qi Hong was so confident. She thought she was a big star, and she was a local in Magic City, so she naturally thought she could get the consent of passers-by.
It's just a meal.
But who would have thought that everyone would be rejected.
That's right.
Everyone rejected Qi Hong's invitation.
Some regarded her as a liar as they did at the beginning, and some said it was inconvenient and not suitable. Although most of them were very good, they just didn't want to have dinner with her.
When Qi Hong and Lin Xing were looking for a place to eat at noon, they were interviewed.
"How do you two teachers feel?"
The staff asked: "Are you a little frustrated?"
Qi Hong said: "I am definitely frustrated. I thought there would be a few people who agreed, but there was none."
Lin Xing said: "It is understandable. After all, many young people do not have the conditions to cook at home. Some people only rent a single room. It is not suitable for us to eat with them..."
This is the real world of Shanghai, not the kind of TV dramas where the male and female protagonists live in villas, drive luxury cars, hire nannies, and go to bars or cafes for rest.
Some people rarely cook at home even if they have the conditions to cook.
Working 996 or 007 every day, you finally get off work, who has the energy to cook?
Not to mention that some working couples only have time to go to the hotel to exercise together on weekends.
Forget about you being famous, even if the king of stars comes, they may not be willing to accompany you for dinner.
