Chapter 279: Airborne Release, Slap, Too Low (Minimum 420)

Chapter 279 Airborne scheduled, rub, too LOW (guaranteed minimum + 4/20)

On January 23, "For Whom the Bell Tolls" officially ended on Penguin Video.

That night, the popularity value ranked first in the TV series in real time, and even reached the first place in the soaring list.

You should know that the popularity value of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" has been ranked first since its launch.

This surprised many people in the industry.

After all, "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is a spy war drama, and spy war dramas often belong to the audience of TV stations, and the number of online broadcasts has never been high.

In many cases, the popularity value of spy war dramas can exceed 2,000 on the first day of broadcast, which is considered good.

But no one expected that the popularity value of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" would exceed 10,000 after three days.

Breaking 10,000, this popularity value is almost the best result for spy war dramas.

Not only that, the popularity value of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" continued to rise in the future.

Although the increase is slow, it has been stable at more than 10,000, which is a miracle in itself.

Forget spy war dramas. In any type of drama, the popularity of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is not weak at all.

In the end, "For Whom the Bell Tolls" once again raised the popularity value to 2,000 on the day of the finale.

13,000.

The next day, when the data network was updated, the real-time popularity value of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" stopped at 13,000.

This not only refreshed the record of spy war dramas, but also set a benchmark for TV dramas in 2025.

If the popularity value of a TV series does not reach this number, then don't say that it is a phenomenal drama.

The king of dramas.

Some insiders claim that "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is a miracle. Some people did not expect that the drama would have a small explosion, but no one thought it would be a big explosion.

Before this drama, there were already a lot of discussions about spy war dramas, and spy war themes have also been filmed by many people. Just look at "The Dark Before Dawn".

But no one expected that the drama "The Dark Before Dawn" would be mediocre, neither a failure nor a success.

But on the contrary, "For Whom the Bell Tolls", which everyone did not think highly of, had a huge explosion in ratings and popularity.

According to statistics from Penguin Video, this "For Whom the Bell Tolls" also brought them up to 3 million new members.

This is really powerful.

After all, new members are now the father, not only video websites, but also live broadcast platforms, food delivery platforms, shopping platforms, etc. Who is not attracting new members? ?

Old members are worse than dogs.

Most of the preferential activities are only for new members.

The most important thing is that it has only been 23 days, which means that "For Whom the Bell Tolls" helped Penguin Video bring 3 million new members during its launch.

Now the ratings of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" on Shanghai TV have been maintained between 2 and 3.2.

And after the end of Magic City TV, Penguin Video is bound to attract new users again.

Originally, Penguin Video was thinking about previewing, but in the end they gave up the short-term benefits and planned to maximize the benefits of this drama.

Drama King.

Although it is only 23 days in 2025, industry insiders believe that this year, not to mention the top three, "For Whom the Bell Tolls" will definitely have a place in the top five.

Recalling that the opening drama of 2024 was "Sweeping Black Waves", at that time Lin Xing won the title of "Evil Man" with Zhou Bo.

Who would have thought that after a year, Lin Xing became a good big brother with "For Whom the Bell Tolls".

Two dramas, one is a supporting role and the other is a protagonist. In one year, Lin Xing has successfully achieved an upgrade in the TV drama circle.

It is precisely because of this that Lin Xing's next TV series is particularly important.

"For Whom the Bell Tolls" has proved Lin Xing's ability to carry a drama in terms of ratings and online playback volume, but whether the drama is good or the person is good depends on his next drama."

"Yes, look at Ren Yi. Ren Yi won many awards with "Sweeping Black Waves" and is also said to have strong ability to carry a drama, but what about "Dark Before Dawn"??"

"Yes, let's wait and see Lin Xing's next TV series, but I believe in Lin Xing because he is really good at choosing scripts."

...

Let alone the industry, even Lao Zhong has the same idea.

After the finale of "For Whom the Bell Tolls", Lao Zhong thought about writing another drama review. In fact, since the broadcast of "For Whom the Bell Tolls", Lao Zhong has written almost 10 drama reviews.

Yes.

From the broadcast to now, it can be said that Lao Zhong writes a drama review every two days.

At the beginning, she also mentioned "The Power of the Conspiracy" and "Dark Before Dawn" in her drama review, and later she also mentioned "Eternal Love", and then she stopped mentioning anyone later.

But now, Lao Zhong has brought out all three TV series.

This is not a slap in the face, for Lao Zhong it is just a simple comparison.

The script is king.

This is the sentence Lao Zhong said most in his drama reviews.

Just like the drama "The Power of the Heart", although Niu Xiang's acting is quite harsh, the script is still quite solid after all, so the ratings have soared with Niu Xiang's departure.

The opposite example is "The Dark Before Dawn", the actors of this TV series can be said to be all acting schools, and no one has let down the chain.

But so what? ?

Because of the poor rhythm of the script, the plot repeatedly pulls one thing over and over again, which causes the audience's patience to be exhausted after a week.

As CCTV's first drama of the year, this drama had the highest ratings when it first aired. It has to be said that it was a failure.

Some people may say "Eternal Life", after all, the script of "Eternal Life" is still acceptable.

But this drama is a drama with a male protagonist adapted from an online novel, so if the male protagonist cannot stand up, then the whole drama will naturally not stand up.

Therefore, "Darkness Before Dawn" was defeated by the script, while "Eternal Life" was defeated by Chu Chen.

These two TV series, no, plus "The Power of the King", if "The King of Power" does not use Niu Xiang, then the ratings will definitely increase further.

At the same time, let's look at the drama "For Whom the Bell Tolls", with a solid script and reliable actors. Although Ling Mei's acting skills are a bit eye-catching, her destructive power is far weaker than Niu Xiang.

…

This is a drama review and also a long Weibo post.

Lao Zhong wrote nearly 10,000 words in total.

She didn't just analyze "For Whom the Bell Tolls", she analyzed the four major dramas at the beginning of the year, and also talked about the direction of future TV dramas.

Script is king, don’t look for expensive ones, don’t look for people with traffic, just look for suitable actors.

Finally, Lao Zhong also expressed her curiosity. She also wanted to know what Lin Xing would choose for his next drama.

"What I hope is that Lin Xing can choose his next drama carefully. Now he has laid a solid foundation in TV dramas with two dramas. As long as he continues to do two TV dramas, he will be able to firmly establish himself as a new star in TV dramas. A leading figure.”

…

In this Weibo post, Lao Zhong rarely expressed his expectations for Lin Xing.

It's an expectation, a hope, not a requirement.

After all, Lao Zhong knows that Lin Xing’s ability to select scripts is too strong. Who in the entire entertainment industry can get good dramas continuously for more than a year? ?

It’s no wonder that many people say that Lin Xing has a lucky star.

Just say it.

In the entire entertainment industry, in less than two years, who has achieved a triple jump like Lin Xing? ?

What's more important is that the dramas starring Lin Xing were launched one after another smoothly.

In this regard, it really doesn’t matter if you don’t believe in metaphysics.

Many actors film one drama at a time, and there are many actors who have already had six or seven films under their belt.

As a result, Lin Xing acted in one film, the previous film, and the next film, and the previous film.

What do you mean this is not metaphysics? ?

Naturally, this long Weibo post about Lao Zhong attracted a lot of discussion.

…

"Lao Zhong is right, script is indeed king."

"I remember complaining before that the acting skills of some of today's veteran actors are really too routine, and they are all too tricky."

"To be honest, it all depends on the support of the peers. The acting skills of these veteran actors are based on routines, but at least they don't make people act. Look at these young talents again?"

"Yes, I think what Lao Zhong said is right. "Strike" was really almost ruined by Niu Xiang, but "Eternal Life" was really ruined by Chu Chen."

"It's hard to say whether Lin Xing can handle the drama, but Chu Chen definitely can't handle the drama."

…

"This old Zhong is indeed the trumpet raised by Lin Xing. He specializes in hacking our Chu Chen."

"Yes, I'm really angry. What this old Zhong said is not objective at all. He really hacked our Chu Chen."

"In my opinion, "Eternal Life" is an excellent drama. This old Zhong is really a bastard."

"x-on:chuchenstudio, the studio has come out to work quickly."

…

Obviously, Chu Chen's fans are still patrolling the square. Especially for Lao Zhong, a drama review V and a very influential person in the drama review circle, of course Chu Chen's fans have been paying attention.

If other drama review Vs were left alone, they might really not offend the fandom, because these drama review Vs need to be right.

Think about it, which financial sponsors would like quarreling Vs? ?

Because on Weibo, the value of big Vs who quarrel is basically very low.

But Lao Zhong doesn’t rely on Weibo to make ends meet. She is a V with a strong tongue and a very strong fighting spirit, and she doesn’t like to indulge in the fandom.

What's more, Lao Zhong also hates Chu Chen's fans.

Before the filming of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" started, Chu Chen's fans almost scolded Lin Xing.

In addition, there are some marketing accounts and big Vs who basically just sit there and follow the rhythm.

Although Lin Xing's agent collected evidence and sued these people, most of them had no way to sue because you couldn't find any other evidence because they were leading the charge.

Now, "Eternal Life" has hit the streets, but Chu Chen's fans are still waiting for it.

It's strange that Lao Zhong can endure it.

She first retweeted an account with the ID name "Chu Chen Information Station". This account belonged to a big V with 200,000 fans, but it was a fan of Chu Chen, so Lao Zhong's retweeting of her was not considered a cyberbullying.

She directly wrote: "Does it mean that I think Chu Chen's acting skills are bad because I think Chu Chen is bad? Then let me ask again, please deduct 1 in the comment area if you think Chu Chen's acting skills are good, and deduct 2 if you think Chu Chen's acting skills are bad. ”

The Weibo comment section that was forwarded like this was instantly criticized by Chu Chen's fans.

A bunch of people put them there and deducted 1.

Then Lao Zhong said once again: "Everyone has seen that Chu Chen's acting skills are indeed only visible to fans. Those who deducted 1 in the comment area are Chu Chen's fans."

…

"Pfft, I'm dying of laughter, Lao Zhong, are you fishing here?"

"Hahaha, I was just wondering why Lao Zhong would do this suddenly? After all, how can you win the votes against those in the fan circle?"

"Lao Zhong is really killing people."

...

Lao Zhong even forwarded the Weibo of several leaders of Chu Chen's fans.

"Your "Eternal Life" has the worst ratings."

"Your "Eternal Life" has the worst real-time broadcast volume."

"Your "Eternal Life" is really a flop."

"Your Chu Chen can't carry the show."

...

Good guy, everyone just thinks that Lao Zhong is crazy today.

On the second day after the finale of "For Whom the Bell Tolls", Lao Zhong started to fight with Chu Chen's fans.

Only those who are familiar with Lao Zhong understand that everyone is watching the show during the broadcast of "For Whom the Bell Tolls", and Lao Zhong doesn't want to fight at this time.

She is afraid of affecting everyone's mood for watching the show.

But now, "For Whom the Bell Tolls" has ended, what is there for Lao Zhong to fear? ?

And no matter what Chu Chen's fans said next, Lao Zhong responded with one sentence: "Your ratings of "Eternal Life" are a bust."

It was almost a one-shot kill.

Because it is true that the ratings of "Eternal Life" have been falling, especially with the finale of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" on Magic City TV today.

The ratings broke 3.8.

It's so sad.

No one thought that the ratings of Magic City TV would break 3.8 one day, almost one step away from breaking 4.

You know, for the best dramas on CCTV or Tan Province TV, it is rare for the ratings to break 3.

Today's TV stations are not like before, and most viewers don't turn on the TV now.

On the one hand, it's because everyone is used to watching dramas on mobile phones or tablets, and on the other hand, TVs are getting smarter and more difficult to use.

Last year, someone said that when you turn on the TV, not to mention the elderly, even young people don't know how to turn on the TV to find a channel.

Because of this, the ratings are almost good if they break 1.

As a result, the ratings of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" broke 3.8 on the day of its finale.

Comparing the video websites, "For Whom the Bell Tolls" brought 3 million new members to Penguin Video. To be honest, this drama is really a hit.

Everyone is reaping the benefits of the hit drama.

Before, everyone had already reaped a lot of benefits from the popularity of the show, and after the show's finale, the benefits will be enough for a while.

At this time, "I Am Yu Xiaohei" was aired and scheduled.

"Oh my god, are you trying to ride on the popularity of the show? How long has "I Am Yu Xiaohei" been filming? It's already been scheduled?"

"Wow, it's scheduled right away without any publicity. It's going to air tomorrow, but it's announced today?"

"And they're directly announcing a launch conference tomorrow afternoon. Are you guys being so realistic???"

...

Just when everyone was discussing "For Whom the Bell Tolls", "I Am Yu Xiaohei" was directly announced to be aired on January 26.

This is really aired.

Because there was absolutely no news before, the last time there was news was that Lin Xing had finished filming "I Am Yu Xiaohei".

What a result.

This time it was aired right away.

This made many people drunk.

Because anyone with a discerning eye, no, anyone who is not blind can see that it's obvious that "I Am Yu Xiaohei" is riding on Lin Xing's popularity.

And it's so obvious.

You should know that "For Whom the Bell Tolls" just ended on TV last night. Today, when the data network updated the ratings, the ratings were directly blown up.

Then, without waiting for a large wave of media reports, the official V of "I Am Yu Xiaohei" directly released a set of fixed-date posters.

Yes.

The official V of "I Am Yu Xiaohei" did not even release a fixed-date trailer, they directly released a set of fixed-date posters.

And said: "On January 26 at 6 pm, watch how Yu Xiaohei changes his fate."

This preview Weibo not only made Lin Xing's fans unhappy, but also Chu Chen's fans were a little drunk.

"Fuck, do you have any shame? Are you copywriting from our Chu Chen?"

"Fuck, you are an urban drama, what are you going to do? Do you think you are a fairy tale drama?"

"Fuck, it's really shameless, a low drama."

...

These two days, Chu Chen's fans are really depressed, after all, Lao Zhong almost took advantage of them, and the key is that they have no way to refute.

Now I see that the official V of the drama "I am Yu Xiaohei" actually stole their own copywriting, so of course Chu Chen's fans scolded.

However, Lin Xing's fans did not defend it.

Because they think that this "I am Yu Xiaohei" is really low.

After all, this web drama "I am Yu Xiaohei" actually chose to airdrop like this, which is not just consuming Lin Xing's popularity.

Although Lin Xing helped, if this drama fails, it will also affect Lin Xing.

Fortunately, it is a web drama.

Lin Xing's fans can only think so.

Yang Tian still called Ding Chunling at this time: "Can't you just repost it using A Xing's official Weibo?"

"I don't manage this Weibo account. It has always been managed by Lin Xing himself."

Ding Chunling said with a sigh: "Lin Xing only recorded a VCR to use when the show starts. There is nothing else we can do."

Yang Tian felt helpless: "Okay then."

After hanging up the phone, she turned to Wei Fei and said, 'Sister Fei, can't you even contact Lin Xing? ? ’

"Yes, Lin Xing has told me and the director that he will have to experience it for three months, and he will have to disconnect from the Internet for these three months..."

Wei Fei nodded slightly and said, "The call I made before is the last one."

"Okay, no matter what, we have to hold this press conference, and we can't say that Lin Xing won't be present. If this happens, the press conference will lose a lot of popularity..."

Yang Tian thought for a while and directly dialed the number of the publicity department: "Continue to increase publicity. Tomorrow I will let all major media report on our web drama."
