Chapter 137 TV dramas, the beginning of a frenzy of ratings (please book in full!)

Lin'an!

Provincial TV station!

Prime time at eight o'clock in the evening!

The latest TV series is called "Chasing the Wind and Hunting". It is a detective drama in ancient costumes, and the leading actors are all well-known actors in the circle.

Among the more than [-] provincial stations in the country, Zhejiang Provincial TV Station has always been in the middle and lower reaches of the second tier. Of course, Zhejiang Provincial TV Station has been brilliant before and entered the first echelon, but this has become history. In the past six or seven years, There are hardly any good films produced, and the rankings are not high or low, so the income of the TV station is not high.

"Every year during the Chinese New Year, the competition is fierce. The New Year's Day Gala, and the Spring Festival Gala, etc., everyone has cleared up all the tasks!"

The director is holding a meeting. After all, it is New Year's Day, and there is also a new drama.

"Clear!"

After all, it is a provincial TV station with many personnel, most of whom have their own tasks.

The ratings of "Chasing the Wind and Hunting" have also come out, 0.5!

This audience rating is already considered acceptable. After all, it has just started broadcasting, and it will continue to grow in the future. If you work harder, you may be able to break 1!

Breaking 1, this is considered excellent in Zhejiang TV Station!
Director Fan took the list and checked the ratings of the programs in each time period one by one!
Eight o'clock in the morning, ten o'clock in the morning, twelve o'clock in the noon, two o'clock in the afternoon, four o'clock, six o'clock, eight o'clock, ten o'clock, twelve o'clock...

Among them, there are six TV channels, and most of the others are similar to morning news or local programs.

Nothing has changed from before.

but……

When Director Fan was checking the completeness of the program, he was stunned.

The so-called program viewing completeness is the line diagram from the beginning to the end of the program!

Generally, this kind of line diagram shows a downward trend, that is to say, the beginning of the program is the highest, and then slowly declines as time goes by.

For example, "Chasing the Wind and Hunting", the value of this drama reached ten points at the beginning, and by the end of the first episode, there were only three points left.

In other words, ten people watched the beginning, and by the end of the first episode, there were three people left!

Although the retention rate is not high, it is barely considered excellent.

but……

When he saw the online chart of "Legend of the White Snake" at [-]:[-] noon, he froze for a moment.

The initial value is ten points, but at the end of the first episode, it is as high as eight points!
The most important thing is that the initial value of the second episode was eight, but at the end, it was still eight!
Damn, such a high retention rate?

What the hell?

Director Fan quickly checked other data of "Legend of the White Snake".

The ratings for the first episode were 0.18 and the second episode was 0.21!

grew?
Is it normal?
This is not normal, you know, at twelve o'clock noon, when the second episode aired, it was already one o'clock. In the past, TV dramas with this schedule usually increased in the first episode, decreased in the second episode, and then Week after week!
And when there are no problems with the TV series, the only thing that can keep growing is actually only the prime time at eight o'clock!

For example, in the drama "Chasing the Wind", the first episode is 0.5, and the second episode is 0.52!

This is normal data!

Don't look at just such a small increase. You must know that there are more than [-] provincial stations in the country, and there are hundreds of local stations. Not bad!
And the best TV drama of Zhejiang Provincial TV Station only has a rating of 2.3, not to mention that this is the data of ten years ago, let alone break through 2.3 in these years, there are no TV dramas that break 2.

Director Fan was a little confused, so he quickly clicked on "Legend of the White Snake" and began to read it.

When the title came out, Director Fan let out a huff. These scenes... seem to be from Lin'an.

Then there was the theme song of "Waiting for a Thousand Years". Naturally, he also recognized a few familiar faces, but... it seems that there is no top class?
However, he was patient enough to watch it bit by bit until the end, and then... the White Snake was born!
"This special effect... seems a bit crude, it seems like a small investment!"

While speaking, Director Fan poured himself a glass of water, and then saw the white snake turned into a human, Director Fan's eyes instantly widened: "Well, not bad not bad!"

This appearance is quite amazing, and it immediately catches people's attention at the beginning of the chapter.

but……

When he saw the singing started, Director Fan was stunned.

What the hell?

And singing?
This tune?
Huangmei Opera?
Plausible!

It's just that when he heard the singing, his first reaction was not to shut it down, but... a little interested?Thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is because you can understand?

That's right, after all, the tone here is very simple, and it's also in Mandarin, and the words are correct!
The main problem of traditional drama is that many local operas need to be sung in dialects, which is the biggest problem hindering the spread.

But this is not incomprehensible, on the contrary...it makes people curious, and has the urge to find out!

And once this curiosity came out, it was out of control.

Mount Emei worshiped Avalokitesvara, and Avalokitesvara said something about repaying kindness, and Avalokitesvara even sang it!

Obediently, what a thunder!

but……

What the hell can't stop?

Then Bai Suzhen went south to Lin'an!
"So that's it. I said why there are so many familiar scenes in the opening song. It seems that this scene was filmed in Lin'an!"

At this moment, the takeaway was delivered, and the staff helped to bring it in.

"Put it here, you go out first!"

Director Fan didn't even notice that he ate and drank tea without even taking his eyes off the office computer!
When the camera turned, it was on Xu Xian again.

"So, this is the leading actor?"

Director Fan felt that Xu Xian looked familiar, but...why couldn't he remember which actor it was?
But he didn't have the time to think about it anymore. After all, watching TV was the most important thing. Xu Xian's family background was explained in the lines, and then the county lost Kuyin, which led to Xiaoqing.

What's more ingenious is that Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen met, and the two had a wave of fighting skills!
"Well, not bad not bad!"

This fight is quite different, it seems... faster than the fights in TV dramas now, and it looks quite free and easy. In addition, Bai Suzhen's spellcasting posture is also quite beautiful.

Then the green snake was subdued and transformed into a young girl. Bai Suzhen also made it clear that she wanted to repay her kindness, and then the two went to the high place of West Lake to find someone.

"Played? Hey, there's another episode!"

Director Fan quickly clicked on the next episode, but he didn't even skip the opening song.

Director Fan's eyes lit up when he saw the burning of paper during the Qingming Festival.

"I don't know who wrote this book, the skills are so profound!"

There is a big difference between TV series and movies. Sometimes when you watch an unknown clip, you can even tell whether it is a movie clip or a TV show clip.

There are many differences among them, and the most direct one is the lines!
TV dramas are mainly composed of lines, so they have very high requirements for scripts, but movies are different. Movies mostly focus on setting and shadows, so movies attach great importance to camera language.

Although the language of this aria about burning paper during the Qingming Festival is relatively simple, it is really clever!
then……

It is the meeting of the hero and heroine.

"Tsk tsk, the role of Fang Yuan is well handled, it's amazing!"

It's not that Director Fan hasn't watched Fang Yuan's previous dramas, but... I don't know if it's because of his age, or what, the charm of Fang Yuan in this drama makes people unable to move their eyes away and feel itchy in their hearts!

Then there is testing, confirmation, and swimming in the same boat.

"Oh, the old boatman is quite coquettish, and he sang with Miss Xiaoqing!"

Director Fan didn't think it was abrupt, this aria sounded comfortable, to be honest, he even thought it was better than the new songs of many so-called singers nowadays.

Well, I can't say it, I can't say it, I'm going to be overwhelmed by fans!
Afterwards, there was a wave of temptations, and then privately decided to marry for life. Director Fan, who watched in the bridal chamber, wished he could replace Xu Xian himself.

then……

"Huh? It's over? Is this the end of two episodes?"

Director Fan was stunned, and some were impatient, but after all, two episodes had just aired, so he gritted his teeth, wondering if he should use his permission to watch the follow-up episodes.

After all, he is a high-level executive, who happens to be in charge of film sources!

But the next moment, Director Fan was shocked, and there was a look of shock in his eyes!
"No wonder... no wonder the retention rate of this show is so high!"

"I don't know how long I haven't felt this feeling of eagerly wanting to watch the next episode!"

anticipation...

Once a drama makes the audience have a sense of expectation, how can it not be rated high?

And this sense of anticipation, he hasn't felt it for a long time. You know, as a high-level TV station, although Director Fan doesn't count as having read countless films, he has never encountered any style of film.

To be honest, when he saw the aria for the first time, he really wanted to laugh, but...there are almost no such films containing arias on the market, so this aria, at first glance, is abrupt, but it makes people curious.

It's like someone wrapping stinky tofu in durian. You think in your heart that this thing may not be edible, but your curiosity keeps driving you...to try it!

The difference between the two is that the singing in this play is very well handled, except for the abruptness at first glance, but later on I accepted it unconsciously, and even... a little bit of anticipation!

Apart from singing, the best...

It's still Bai Suzhen played by Fang Yuan!

He even had the idea that a snake demon should be like this.

When he came back to his senses, Director Fan became excited. How could a play with such a strong sense of anticipation be put at twelve o'clock at noon?Isn't this violent?

but……

He fell silent again.

perhaps……

I can accept singing, but what about young people?

So have to see it again, another day!
……

"When I was a child, Lime liked to eat my fried fruit the most!"

Mother Yang is kneading dough, and Father Yang is also helping, so there is no need to travel around today, after all, we are at Yang Qingning's parents' house.

The house is neither big nor small, with three bedrooms and two living rooms, and the house is quite young.

Fried fruit generally refers to fried noodles, such as fried dough sticks, sanzi, jelly beans, etc. are all fried fruits!
This kind of fried dim sum tastes crunchy and can be eaten as a snack or as a staple food in soup!

Of course, you can also put sugar in it, it tastes sweet and crunchy!
Some people also like to use pasta to make shapes, such as flowers, animals, or some small shapes, which are suitable for coaxing children.

"Okay, let's go to the living room and watch TV!"

Father Yang drove Zhou You away.

In the living room, Zhou You hugged Xiao Qinghe, watching Yang Qingning go in and out to wash the fruit, and suddenly felt quite at ease.

Sometimes, it is a complaint to have the old and the young, but sometimes it is happiness to have the old and the young!
"My mother hasn't fried fruit for many years!"

Yang Qingning brought out the fruit after washing, and then peeled another fruit for Zhou You and Xiao Qinghe.

At this time, Bai Jie's "Meng Jiangnan" was playing on the TV!
Her movie has just been released, and it's still on Huating TV!

Although Huating TV is also in the second echelon, it is at least better than Zhejiang TV, and this "Meng Jiangnan" is the main drama of Huating TV. From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, it is finally on the air. It is relatively excellent, and it should be considered above average. Of course, if there is follow-up mana, an excellent work should not run away.

However, there are also some films that drive high and low, anticlimactic!
"Bai Jie's appearance is really beautiful!"

Yang Qingning looked at Bai Jie on TV with envy.

She is indeed quite beautiful, after all, she is very beautiful herself, and her temperament is inherently classical, plus she has been acting in costume dramas since her debut, so she has figured out her way a long time ago!

Zhou Youdao: "Do you want to act? If you want, I will help you!"

"Me?" Yang Qingning was stunned for a moment, then shook her head with a smile: "I'll forget it, firstly, I definitely don't know how to act, and secondly, I don't want to show my face!"

She has such a personality, standing on the podium to coax the children is okay, but if she really has to face the camera, she might not be able to say a word, and she doesn't like the kind of scenes that are sought after by thousands of people.

While chatting, Father Yang and Mother Yang have already prepared dinner!
They were all simple home-cooked dishes, and Zhou You also had a few drinks with Papa Yang!
……

"The ratings of "Chasing the Wind and Hunting" reached 0.56, and it is still growing steadily!"

"Also, variety shows..."

After all, the new drama is on the air, and this drama is regarded as the bottom line of Zhejiang TV Station this year, so everyone pays special attention to it.

only……

It started broadcasting at 0.5, and now the fourth episode is only 0.56. Although it is increasing, the growth rate is a bit too slow!
If things go on like this, whether it can break 1 is a question.

Because generally speaking, the growth rate decreases slowly. To put it bluntly, the initial growth rate is the fastest, and then it will gradually decline later, and even the ratings will decrease.

With the growth rate of "Chasing the Wind and Hunting", maybe after ten or twenty episodes, the ratings will drop instead of rising!

The staff is summarizing the report!

Director Fan tapped on the table and closed his eyes. After a long while, the deputy director began to speak, with a serious expression on his face.

"This year's task is a bit poor. If this continues, will the budget be cut?"

Balabala said a lot, mostly critical words.

Seeing that Director Fan closed his eyes and rested his mind, the deputy director asked, "Director Fan, why don't you say a few words?"

Director Fan opened his eyes, knocked on the table, and said, "How's the ratings of "Legend of the White Snake"?"

He obviously asked the question knowingly, after all, he had already paid attention to it.

It's just that as soon as these words came out, the staff was taken aback. They flipped through the work report and felt a little embarrassed for a while.

"Didn't write it!"

Director Fan sat up straight and turned serious: "What's the matter, do you only care about "Wind Hunting"? Or do you not need to care about other time slots?"

Others look at me and I look at you, thinking: Is there any need to say this?

What is the prime time, that is the time of the day with the highest ratings!If you don't care about prime-time shows, what else can you care about.

only……

Some people have noticed.

Xiao Guan raised his hand and said, "I've been paying attention to this drama... In fact, since today, there have been many phone calls, saying that they hope that this drama can be broadcast in the evening, or can it be aired at ten o'clock in the evening?" After that, or replay it the next morning!"

Morning and evening reruns?

This is the treatment of a hit drama!

but……

"Legend of the White Snake"?
Director Niu was slightly taken aback when he heard the familiar name.

Director Fan took a deep breath, turned on his computer, and said, "Since no one is paying attention, I can say it!"

""Legend of the White Snake" was aired at the same time as "Chasing the Wind and Hunting". The ratings of the first episode were 0.18!"

0, 18?

This statistic is normal and excellent, after all, the [-]:[-] noon file is already a statistic.

but……

Director Fan spoke again.

"The ratings of the second episode of "Legend of the White Snake" are 0.21!"

The deputy head and the others' eyes lit up instantly.

0.18 to 0.21?

An increase of 0.03 ah!
This growth value is very good, you know, even the prime-time "Chasing the Wind" only increased by 0.02!

but……

Director Fan's words are not over yet!

""Legend of the White Snake" airs on the second day today, and the ratings of the third episode are 0.25!"

What the hell!

The deputy director was startled, stared at Director Fan closely, and said, "Is there any problem with the data?"

Director Fan said, "I've checked it, and it's all right!"

hiss!
Soaring from 0.21 to 0.25?

What the hell?

This is even higher than the growth rate on the first day!

You know, this is the second day. In many cases, the ratings of the second episode are higher than the ratings of the third episode, because after a day, many people may have forgotten about this TV.

but……

The third episode like "The Legend of the White Snake" has higher ratings than the second episode, and it's so much higher!
what does it mean...

We all work in TV stations, how could we not know.

As a result, the deputy director was short of breath, and hurriedly asked, "Then... where's the fourth episode!"

Yes!

Episode [-] too!

The fourth episode is the most critical!
Director Niu looked at Director Fan with an ugly expression on his face, but at the same time he was also a little nervous.

You know, she participated in both "Legend of the White Snake" and "The Hunting of the Wind", and she took back "Legend of the White Snake". If "Legend of the White Snake" is really a dark horse, she may have contributed, but ... In the end, it was the director who wanted this drama. At that time, she even complained to the other party and commented that this drama was rubbish!

just in case……

Everyone stared at Director Fan in unison, not even daring to breathe.

Because they know that the ratings of the fourth episode of "The Legend of the White Snake" will determine the fate of the two dramas.

Yes, two plays, "Legend of the White Snake" itself, and...

"Chasing the Wind" is a highly anticipated work!
Director Fan was not in a hurry, and there was no abnormal expression on his face. He even picked up the teacup next to him and blew on it very comfortably.

The deputy director frowned, and said angrily, "Fan Liang!"

Director Fan smiled and said, "Okay, okay, let me tell you!"

"The ratings of the fourth episode of "Legend of the White Snake" are 0.33!"

As soon as these words came out, the audience was dead silent!

After a long time, I don't know whose pen fell to the ground, making a rattling sound, and the silence was broken.

"Fuck, is it true or not, 0.33?"

"Oh my god, I remember the schedule at 0.29:[-] noon had the highest ratings, only [-]!"

"Yeah, this is only when a popular drama is re-run!"

"Honey, doesn't that mean that this "Legend of the White Snake" broke the ratings record for the [-] o'clock noon schedule?"

"Hiss, it really is!"

In the conference room, everyone was shocked!

Someone suddenly said something.

""The Legend of the White Snake" can have such a high ratings at [-]:[-] noon, if it is released at [-]:[-] p.m.!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes lit up instantly.

"That's right, if "Legend of the White Snake" is released at 1 o'clock in the evening, maybe... it can break [-]!"

"Break 1? I think it might break 1.5!"

"1.5? It's a bit wishful thinking!"

"No matter what, it must be better than "Chasing the Wind and Hunting"!"

"I'll go, then hurry up and make adjustments, maybe our Zhejiang Provincial TV Station will release a good movie!"

"Who is so talented, put a good film like "Legend of the White Snake" on the schedule at twelve noon!"

Director Niu: ...

　Begging for a full order, thank you everyone!The news is confirmed, and the update will start the day after tomorrow, thank you!
