The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 217 Ratings soar

After all, Xu Sheng and other senior executives still didn't hold back Chen Jingxing. Of course, it was also because Chen Jingxing was the big boss of the parent company, and no one could veto his decisions.

And the person in charge of the "Your Name" project selected by Chen Jingxing, or the animation director is Wu Han who is currently producing the second season of "Star God".

One is that "Star God" itself is a two-dimensional animation. The team led by Wu Han has concentrated the most elite 2D animation talents after the merger with Tianhe Animation. Although he also produced 3D animation "Magic Cat" in the last few years of Tianhe Animation ", but this is a relatively low-level 3D animation. His strength is still [-]D animation. Even though Mo Da has poached a lot of animation talents, Wuhan is still the most skilled in the computer animation department.

Second, in Chen Jingxing's view, even if Wu Han is a rare animation artist, he is the top animator. Even if he is placed in Dongying, he is definitely a first-class animator. The unanimous reputation of "Red Rose" they never forget is not only a passionate story, but also an important reason for the beautiful and gorgeous pictures, as well as the art design that completely exceeds the level of domestic animation.

And "Your Name" needs a beautiful style of painting. The most precious thing about this movie is its unique temperament. The style and temperament are almost unique, and they are quite different. It is only on the basis of this style of painting that extremely delicate emotions can be expressed. There are only a few animation masters who can match this very delicate emotional expression. Xin Haicheng is comparable, and this style can best poke the G-spot of the Chinese film market.

All small fresh live-action love movies with above-standard quality can almost achieve extraordinary success in the Huaguo film market, and Chen Jingxing believes that it will not be bad if it is switched to animation.

And he trusted Wu Han's ability, so he put this project on Wu Han's head. Although Wu Han was a little disappointed that Chen Jingxing didn't want to start the theatrical version of "Star God", he made it again after four years An animated movie still makes him very excited.

In 2011, the production cost of the theatrical version of "Xing Shen Ji", which was hollowed out by Tianhe Animation, was actually similar to the estimated budget of "Your Name", which is already very rare in today's Huaguo animation industry. This 5000 million-rated animated film is definitely one of the best among domestic animators, and you can't even find a second person to come—if you don't count Xiang Xuan, who is about to become the chief director of a 1.3 million 3D animated film.

……

On the second day after Chen Jingxing arranged the next animation film production plan, Mango Satellite TV of "Signal" began to broadcast the third and fourth episodes.

After a week of waiting and a week of word-of-mouth fermentation, many netizens who did not watch the first two episodes on TV also watched the first and second episodes on major video platforms, because "Signal" threw Wang Zha at the beginning, and The first two episodes solved a case and left a tail, so the first two episodes can basically be regarded as a small mini-series with a relatively complete structure. We can't wait to see three or four episodes as soon as possible.

The third and fourth episodes are premiered on TV, and the online platform will not be updated until after midnight, so many netizens can't wait for the online update, so they are ready to watch it on TV. ACCIDENT".

Because of the theme story and rhythm of "Signal", this drama is actually a work that appeals to young people, and the main contributors to the ratings-middle-aged teachers may not think this drama is so good, let alone , just the setting of the walkie-talkie across time and space, and the cyclical structure in which the two male protagonists communicate on the timeline are not easy for middle-aged and elderly people who do not read enough sci-fi movies.

However, mainstream viewers generally don’t think "Signal" is ugly. You don’t necessarily have to understand the setting of some film and television dramas, especially works with more complicated settings. The narrative rhythm, picture, soundtrack and emotional communication of "Signal" It is top-notch, and if you can't understand the sci-fi setting, it doesn't mean you can't understand the storyline.

Therefore, the parents who control the TV power in most families are surprised but can accept the rare behavior of young people "grabbing the control of the remote control". Looking at Mango Terrace.

In addition, both Sun Li and Deng Chao are very national actors, and their ratings appeal is amazing. The ratings appeal of such actors with audience popularity is even far better than the box office appeal of many movie superstars. After all, movies are going to be released For real money, TV is almost free.

In addition, many families who have long lost the habit of watching TV have also reactivated the TV that they may not have turned on in eight lifetimes, and switched to Mango TV.

With the combination of various factors, the third episode aired on Mango TV this time achieved a very astonishing increase in ratings. The ratings of the first two episodes were 1.025, and a week later, the ratings of the third episode reached 1.5, even surpassing This figure basically means that Mango TV's weekly broadcast program has achieved great success.

According to this trend - if the number of subsequent episodes does not drop, the ratings of "Signal" are likely to break 2 next week at the latest.

In this day and age, no matter which satellite TV you are on, if the ratings of a TV series can break 2, it is already a popular drama. Of course, it is only limited to the front of the TV. That kind of family drama, or some of CCTV's main theme works, and if the ratings exceed 2.5, it can be said to be a phenomenon-level work.

Although "Signal" may not be able to reach 2.5, and no one dares to make such bold claims, it is basically certain that the ratings will break 2. This also means that Sun Li's title of ratings queen has not encountered Waterloo in this drama.

And the content of the third and fourth episodes of "Signal" did not disappoint such a hot ratings performance. After the first kidnapping case of Ma Xiaojing ended, the third and fourth episodes came to a more exciting case-the serial murder case in the shallows of Shancheng, and the plot was even more worrying. .

In the third episode, the "butterfly effect" was clearly shown for the first time, because Qin Hai reminded him 20 years later that Li Shi'an arrived in time to save the fourth victim who was wrapped in a black cloth bag and was about to sink to the bottom of the river. At the same time, on the timeline 20 years later, whether it is the accumulated case files or the analysis diagram Qin Hai is drawing on the whiteboard, the word "survived" is added after the fourth victim of this well-known serial murder case.

Except for Qin Hai who still has the original memory, the memory of everyone else, including He Xiuying played by Sun Li, the leader of the backlog team, was changed overnight.

Moreover, the survivor who was rescued and changed the timeline was married and had children during Qin Hai's investigation.

This plot is very shocking to many viewers in front of the TV, and it is not difficult to understand. After all, many TV viewers have never watched the "Signal" movie, and even most people in Huaguo have never seen "Signal" Otherwise, the box office of "Signal" would be more than 10 billion.

Therefore, this kind of plot that connects across time and space and triggers the "butterfly effect" is quite novel to many audiences, especially older audiences.
