China Entertainment Mythology 2004

Chapter 173 Hidden fire, the pinnacle of spy warfare

On May 5, "Latent" premiered simultaneously on Beijing Satellite TV, Dragon TV, Zhejiang Satellite TV, and Liao Provincial Satellite TV.

Chinese audiences have always been more interested in criminal investigation, case-solving, and suspense TV dramas. Since the country began to restrict the broadcast of criminal investigation dramas, the producers have found another way. Some of them began to move the background of criminal investigation suspense to ancient times, so it was born. "Detective Di Renjie" and other costume dramas.

Another group of people moved the background of the story to the Republic of China and merged it with spy war dramas, so the number of spy war dramas began to increase rapidly after criminal investigation was restricted.

In other words, spy war dramas like "Latent" have a market in China.

Coupled with the appeal of the words "screenwriter Li Mu", "Latent" has attracted great attention once it was broadcast.

Many viewers who were disappointed with the new "Three Kingdoms" turned their heads to watch "Latent".

At the same time, countless people in the entertainment industry are also paying attention to this "Latent".

For example, director Zhang Yimou.

Whether it is work or life, Director Zhang belongs to the type full of enthusiasm, otherwise he would not be fined by the state.

But now Director Zhang is very confused.

Last year, Li Mu released four movies, and four of them entered the top [-] in global film history. Among them, "Gravity" became a sensation all over the world. How can this kid get the energy to write another TV series called "Latent"?
Isn't this energy too strong?
And even if he has the energy, wouldn't it be good for him to make the next movie well and earn hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars at the box office?

Compared with the global box office of hundreds of millions of dollars, how much money can you make by writing dozens of episodes of TV drama scripts?

Can't figure it out!
But because he couldn't figure it out, Director Zhang became more interested in this "Latent".

For example, some people in the circle have long been looking forward to Li Mu's fall, and many of them have been looking forward to it since 05 and 06. As a result, the box office of Li Mu's single film has grown from 2 million US dollars. It has soared all the way to 17 billion US dollars. Seeing that it is too difficult to see Li Mu stumble in the film industry, everyone is now turning their attention to this "Latent".

Movies and TV dramas are completely two systems. You Li Mu can enjoy a lot in the movie industry, but not necessarily in the TV drama industry!

In addition, some actors from the crew of "Celebrating More Than Years" and "Mythology" are also paying close attention to the market performance of "Latent".

For example, Song Yi and Li Chun who played the roles in "Celebrating More Than Years", or Tong Liya, Bai Bing, Jin Sha and others in the crew of "Mythology".

Of course, these people are most looking forward to "Latent" can become a big hit.

Because it is also written by Li Mu, if "Latent" can become a hit, it often means that their own TV dramas have a high probability of becoming a hit.

Of course, Gao Xixi, the director of the new "Three Kingdoms", is of course also paying attention to "Latent".

"Latent" was originally officially announced to premiere in June, but after the release of the new "Three Kingdoms" failed to meet expectations, "Latent" immediately moved the schedule to May 5th, which made Director Gao feel uneasy.

Therefore, Director Gao must be looking forward to the ratings of "Latent" hitting the street.

It is also in this atmosphere that almost the entire network is concerned that the TV series "Latent" officially premiered.

The next day, Beijing Satellite TV officially announced the premiere data of "Latent", with an audience rating of 9.19%.

As soon as the data came out, it immediately attracted the attention of countless netizens.

""Latent" is super good-looking, but the ratings—is it a little too high? In my impression, CCTV doesn't have such a high ratings. Are local stations even better than CCTV?"

"This rating is not in the same system as CCTV's. Taking 2010 as the dividing line, the ratings announced before were all the ratings of the 'National Network', and most of the ratings announced after that were the ratings of the 'City Network'."

"For example, Beijing Satellite TV's 9.19% viewership rating actually refers to the proportion of watching "Latent" in Beijing. Currently, it is counting more than 20 cities. "Latent" has such a high rating in the Beijing area. In other places There may not be any in more than 20 cities, and if the ratings of the national network are still counted, it must not be so high."

"It scared me to death, I thought "Latent" was a big hit."

"Lurking is a big hit! Which TV series was the most popular a while ago? Haiqing's "A Beautiful Era of Daughter-in-law" had a viewership rate of 9.13% in the Beijing area. "The Times", this data is already very good, right?!"

Soon CCTV released the ratings data of 23 cities in Sofry, and the four satellite TVs broadcasting "Latent" all entered the top five. Among them, the ratings of Beijing Satellite TV firmly occupied the top spot in the country at the same time, while the broadcasting of "Three Kingdoms" Among all satellite TVs, only Suzhou Satellite TV made it into the top five, and it still ranked third.

The ratings of "Latent" with an investment of 2000 million are far better than "Three Kingdoms" with an investment of 1.55 million?Countless insiders who care about the ratings of "Latent" all feel incredible.

And this is only the data of the first day. Although the first two episodes of "Latent" are also very exciting, the real essence of this drama, the plot and lines that are really talked about by countless netizens, are mostly concentrated in the latter part.

The next day, the four satellite TVs jointly broadcast the third and fourth episodes.

And with the appearance of the heroine Cuiping, the ratings of "Latent" soon ushered in a new height.

10.25!

On the second day alone, the ratings of "Latent" in the Beijing area broke through the 10% mark, and Cuiping, who dared to ask for the steering wheel for the first time in a car, captured the hearts of countless viewers across the country in an instant.

Day three.

Fourth day.

Day [-].

……

With the deepening of the plot, "Latent" has undoubtedly become a phenomenon-level hit drama.

And along with the TV series that became popular all over the country, there are also the endless classic lines in the play.

"Time is like a wild donkey, it keeps running."

"I wanted to show my face, but I ended up showing my butt."

"Emei Peak, it's still f*cking alone, it's quite romantic."

"Cuiping, a woman so stupid that she looks like a fool, is GD's spy?"

"If you can't kill me with a single shot, then when I wake up, we can continue to do business, as long as you pay a fair price."

"Now there are two gold bars here, tell me which one is noble and which one is dirty."

Among them, the most talked about is the Steepunk theory and the law of the Jade Buddha.

"Station Master Wu: There are two big trucks full of stolen goods. Didn't you take a closer look at them? It will be shipped to Nanjing tomorrow. It's a pity."

"Yu Zecheng: I have visited it, and it can be said to be quite spectacular - one of the jade seated golden Buddhas is more than one foot high, and it is said that it is the treasure of Liu Yu's town house in the Eastern Jin Dynasty."

"Stationmaster Wu: Did you see it with your own eyes?"

"Yu Zecheng: I've already pulled it out, but I didn't register it. Later, when I passed by your house, I handed it to my sister-in-law."

……

Throughout May, it seemed that "Latent" was being talked about everywhere.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, it turns out that Li Mu can write spy war dramas!"

"Have you noticed? The most amazing thing about this drama is that every character is extremely impressive, especially that Xie Ruolin, who speaks so fucking philosophically!"

"The station master's acting is really good, he is worthy of the old drama."

"The poems written in the city in late autumn and after finding the organization, the contrast should not be too strong, it's interesting."

"I cried when Zuo Lan died, and Sun Honglei's acting skills have improved again."

"The pinnacle of spy warfare!"

"Douban scored 9.5, awesome!"

And just as "Latent" became popular all over the country, the comedy movie "People on the Journey: Lost in Thailand", written by Li Mu, directed by Shen Junsheng, starring Shen Teng, Huang Bo, and Wang Baoqiang, was officially released after 49 days of filming. It's done.
