China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 779: A huge hit at the start of the show, the ratings king
Suddenly, a spring breeze came last night.

The morning light in the east is light golden, and it is another beautiful day.

Tang Yan got up and left early in the morning.

Everyone knows that Yang Mi is a well-known hard-working woman, but few people know that Tang Yan is actually no less capable.

During these two years, she has been working seamlessly throughout the year and has spent all her time on work.

Tang Yan has a schedule to promote a movie.

Zhou Yutang also devoted himself to the final publicity work of "The Lonely and Great God".

Because Mango TV temporarily moved up the release date, the drama will be officially aired in a week, and the itchy fans are even counting down.

Fans are waiting for the show to begin, and industry insiders are also waiting to see the fun.

The sparrow that was first broadcast at the beginning of the month has the potential to transform into a phoenix, and it is advancing triumphantly and no one can stop it!

Blueberry Channel has topped the domestic satellite TV ratings list and is gaining momentum.

"Sister Ni, I heard that a senior executive of Blueberry TV secretly said that he wanted to directly defeat Mango TV?"

"Why isn't the boss nervous at all?"

Xiao Chen talked about this with Ni Ni.

Seeing Xiao Chen looking a little nervous, Ni Ni smiled and said, "We'll see the results then. It won't be long."

Zhou Yutang didn’t have time to watch the show, so he just read the comments online.

Well, the Douban score of "Sparrow" is 7.2, which is completely not on the same level as "Insidious".

However, there are still many people online commenting on the popular young actor Li Yifeng's breakthrough acting skills, which is known as the new generation of superb acting skills.

Zhou Yutang watched a few slices on Douyin and almost laughed.

"Have you ever seen a wooden fish chanting by itself? Probably not. Then have you ever seen Li Yifeng and Zhou Dongyu act?"

This is a comment from a netizen, and it’s very well said.

Now, artist marketing is all about supporting services.

Not only may the barrage of comments during broadcasts on video sites be posted by internet trolls, but most of the comments and press releases on social media platforms are also the result of team operations.

Ordinary people have a very strange herd mentality.

As long as the comment gets a high number of likes, a large number of netizens will follow suit and like it.

Over time.

Some people have been brainwashed.

Li Yifeng transformed himself into a talented actor.

Will "Sparrow" end up being a dark story, or will "The Lonely and Great God" continue the myth?

Everyone is looking forward to it.

Mango TV also attaches great importance to this.

After all, this is the new drama starring Governor Zhou, which the station spent a record-breaking price to acquire.

It is also an important strategic deployment of Mango TV in the TV drama market this year.

The successive prime-time advertising bombardment also included Jiangdong’s own Bilibili, as well as social media platforms such as Douyin and Toutiao, triggering all-round topics.

Even Tencent, which had made an early bet and won the secondary online distribution and broadcasting rights, provided considerable publicity support.

If Xiao Ma Ge wants to get on the big ship of Jiangdong, he must put out real resources for exchange.

The temporary advancement of the release date by Mango TV was also an unexpected surprise for many viewers.

After waiting for so long, the day of the broadcast finally arrived.

……

"Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Meng."

"Thank you all for your hard work. Bye."

After finishing today's fashion shoot, Meng Ziyi said goodbye to the staff and quickly changed into her sleeveless T-shirt and denim skirt.

I followed the assistant and got into the business car parked at the door.

Seeing fans waiting at the door on the way, Meng Ziyi cheered up, interacted with the fans, and gave them enough emotional value.

When I first joined Jiangdong Entertainment, I received relevant course training and now I am doing it with ease.

Just treat your fans as friends.

Meng Ziyi accepted the letters handed to her by fans, declined the gifts, and only breathed a sigh of relief after getting on the business car.

"Sister Meng, there is no announcement tomorrow, you can have a good rest at home."

"I'm so tired. I want to sleep until I wake up naturally."

"When you are famous, you will get more announcements. I am a little tired during this period, but I will get through it if I just bear with it..."

The assistant was still giving him chicken soup, and Meng Ziyi reclined in his chair, responding in a daze.

When I got back to my single apartment, I took a comfortable bath.

I took a short nap on the way back.

Taking a shower seemed to wash away all the fatigue in my body.

Meng Ziyi put on a facial mask in front of the mirror and looked at herself in the mirror.

Look at this panda.

Look at this tiny waist, and then look at these legs.

"I don't know who got this beautiful lady for free."

Meng Ziyi looked at her snow-white and plump skin in the mirror and was quite satisfied.

Even, there is a little narcissistic thinking.

But when she came out after applying the facial mask, she found that her cell phone had been ringing for quite a while.

"Meng Ziyi, why didn't you answer my call!?"

"Take a shower."

"I've been waiting at your door for a long time!"

Seeing Li Yitong's face full of resentment, Meng Ziyi hurriedly brought her good sister in.

Hold her in your arms, comfort her and apologize.

"Baby, I'm sorry, but I'll treat you to a big dinner tonight."

"You are younger than me, so you should call me sister." Li Yitong protested.

"My thing is bigger than yours, so I have the final say." Meng Ziyi proudly straightened his back.

"..."

From "Ode to Joy" to the new "The Return of the Condor Heroes", we have been working together all the way.

From being an unknown to being a popular young actress, the two have similar personalities and get along very well in private.

After Ode to Joy, Li Yitong has become a rising star with a full schedule.

Meng Ziyi hadn't met Li Yitong for a long time after the filming of "Snow" was completed.

Finally, both of them were free today, so they made an appointment to have a small gathering at Meng Ziyi's house.

"Wow, your company's house is pretty nice."

Li Yitong entered the room and looked around Meng Ziyi's boudoir, which was actually only about 100 square meters in size.

Two bedrooms, two living rooms and one bathroom, with north-south ventilation.

The decoration is in a girlish style, and it is obvious that it was arranged by Meng Ziyi.

Everything else was fine, except that Meng Ziyi had a lot of clothes and shoes.

Even after building an extra large wardrobe, it still wasn't enough.

"Not bad, this whole building belongs to our boss."

"Oh my god, no wonder he is called Zhou Bancheng."

Even though she knew Zhou Yutang was rich, Li Yitong was still shocked to hear her best friend say it in a calm tone.

Having not seen each other for a long time, the two best friends had endless things to talk about.

Today happens to be the premiere day of "The Lonely and Great God".

After chatting for a while, the takeaway ordered by Meng Ziyi arrived.

Eat fried chicken, drink beer, and watch TV series.

Today is a gathering with best friends, so there is no need to worry about weight management. Female stars are happy to indulge themselves occasionally.

Switch the TV channel to Mango Channel, turn on the tablet next to you, and watch it with the barrage of comments, and your happiness will be doubled.

soon.

Xue Zhiqiao's deep voice and G.E.M.'s melodious singing interweave with each other, with piano accompaniment and soft strings.

The beautiful singing made Meng Ziyi and Li Yitong forget to speak for a moment and just listened quietly.

"Baby, in one minute, I need to know what this song is called."

"Why does it take a minute?" Li Yitong blinked her eyes in confusion.

"Because... the TV show is about to start, and I need to concentrate on watching it later."

"..."

Li Yitong gave her best friend who was wearing a small camisole a speechless look.

While we were chatting and laughing, "The Lonely and Great God" finally started airing.

The narration at the beginning briefly introduces the setting of "God".

Under the lonely night sky, the blood-stained ancient bronze sword seemed to have existed in the world since time immemorial.

In the gentle breeze.

Fireflies and sea of ​​flowers are dancing gracefully.

The beautiful pictures give people a wonderful visual enjoyment.

The scene switched back to modern times.

Zhou Yutang's hand-tailored suit was crisp and neat.

Indescribably gentle and elegant, yet visually handsome.

The fries in Li Yitong's hand no longer smelled good, and she stared at the screen intently: "Sister Meng, your boss is so handsome."

In the entertainment industry, handsome guys are everywhere.

She is not a woman who is obsessed with flowers, unless the guy is so handsome that it is unfair.

He is recognized as an Asian handsome man, especially when he wears a suit, he looks like a walking clothes rack.

"uh-huh."

"Hmm what do you mean?"

"My boss is still famous, watching your TV."

Meng Ziyi blocked Li Yitong's mouth with French fries.

She recited Ami Tofu many times, reminding herself not to fall in love with the scumbag.

But while watching TV, her slender hands unconsciously twisted her hair, and a smile appeared on her face unconsciously.

The hero, Kim Shin, is an invincible general of the Daebong Dynasty.

Because of his great achievements, he was slandered by treacherous ministers and became suspicious of the king.

Last time, Zhou Yutang made a guest appearance as Gao Chong in "The Legend of Yue Fei" and received rave reviews.

This time he puts on military uniform again, armed with weapons, and there is a short scene of fighting on the battlefield.

Riding a white horse, wielding a sword.

Entering and exiting the midst of a vast army is like watching fish and appreciating flowers.

"Hey, how's the post-production of 'In the Snow' going? I heard the fighting scenes are really exciting."

"Just wait. I heard from my boss that it will take at least until next year." "That's a long time."

Li Yitong was looking at the TV screen, and suddenly saw Jin Shan's tragic death, and felt pity from the bottom of her heart:

"How tragic! Such a beautiful girl died right at the beginning... She seems to be an artist from Jiangdong, what's her name?"

"Zhou Ye, a freshman at Beijing Film Academy this year."

"I remember now. There was news about her a while ago. She also appeared in Director Wen's play."

"Your boss has a really good eye. This Zhang Ruolan has a very good temperament..."

The two best friends were chatting casually.

Time flies, and the first episode ends with the mysterious and handsome back of Zhu Yilong, the messenger of hell.

Switching from the ancient background to the modern one, the setting is told, and several main characters appear one after another.

An omnipotent god wants to end immortal life.

Read more latest popular novels at 6.9*shuba!

An amnesiac messenger of purgatory, and the girl who is destined to be the "bride of the gods"...

I finished watching the two episodes updated that day.

Li Yitong and Meng Ziyi both felt a little unsatisfied.

Excitedly discussing the subsequent plot and reading posts online.

It's the time when the TV series is being broadcast.

There have been several trending searches on Weibo.

Many posts have also appeared in major forums.

Seeing that most of the comments were positive, Li Yitong smiled with eyes as curved as the moon.

After all, it always makes you feel comfortable when others recognize what you like.

Suddenly, the crescent-shaped smiling eyes widened, Li Yitong pulled Meng Ziyi's arm and said:

"Ziyi, I found the song in the opening credits. It seems to be called "Stay with me", a song written by Governor Zhou..."

"It really is."

"Your boss is handsome, can write songs, can write scripts, is an internationally renowned director, and has a lot of money..."

Li Yitong knew all about it and joked, "You think he is not really a god?"

"Well, it's very possible."

Mencius nodded seriously.

She also liked this song and wanted to save it as a ringtone, but unfortunately there was no resource for it online.

After editing the Weibo post with Li Yitong, we clicked send:
[Commander Zhou's new drama "The Lonely and Great God" has started airing, it's super good, support it! ＠周余棠@江东官微]

……

Although the publicity work has been very tiring these days.

But Zhang Ruolan couldn't sleep at all at night.

I was a little nervous at first, but after the show started airing, I calmed down.

She actually hasn't seen the entire film.

Now, as a viewer, watching myself appear on the TV screen, I feel an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.

Deng Deng Deng!
The WeChat notification sound on my phone keeps ringing.

"Sister, it's increased. Your Weibo followers are going crazy!"

"Oh my god, I see it has increased by hundreds of thousands now!"

"Sister, you're about to take off!"

My younger brothers and sisters at home continue to send messages to harass me.

People both familiar and unfamiliar sent her messages to congratulate her, but Zhang Ruolan had no way of replying.

"Am I going to be famous?"

After stopping the automatic reply, Zhang Ruolan somehow clicked on Zhou Yutang's profile picture.

I edited a paragraph of text, hesitated, and clicked send:
"Boss, are the ratings out?"

"Kitten waving gif"

……

Night, Mango Building.

Zhang Hua, director of Mango TV, folded his hands on his shoulders.

That square face, which was usually calm, actually showed a rare hint of nervousness.

As one of the leaders of the Hunan Radio and Television Army, he is in charge of the station's production business.

He was the one who insisted on getting this drama, which was regarded as a major project of the station in the second half of this year.

The record-breaking price was offered at the time, shocking the industry.

to this end.

I also missed the next door movie "Sparrow".

Now that the drama has become a big hit, many people within Mango TV are saying strange things.

It's really hard to get things done within the system.

At this time, Zhang Hua was under tremendous pressure and couldn't help feeling uneasy.

However, thinking that Zhou Yutang was the one backing the show, his frown relaxed a little.

The air conditioner continues to supply cool air to the computer room.

The computers in the computer room are also running frantically.

Tonight, all the technical staff of Mango TV are working overtime all night.

“The ratings are out!”

Zhang Hua quickly walked behind the technical staff and saw the number popping up on the screen. His pupils trembled.

"The first broadcast received 3.03% viewership!?"

Zhang Hua suspected that his eyesight was blurry from staying up late.

He took off his glasses and wiped them.

He put it back on, leaned forward, and stared at the screen.

The premiere broke three!

All the technicians stood up from their seats.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

I thought something was wrong, so I collected data again, but the same thing happened.

To know.

Things are different now than they were a decade ago.

There were few entertainment options back then, but it was not uncommon for TV dramas to have ratings exceeding 10.

Now that we have entered the Internet age, the industry jokingly calls it the end of television viewing.

The viewership exceeded 1, and the effective drama broadcast exceeded 1.5, which can be called a small hit.

The ratings have exceeded 2%, making it a sure hit.

The ratings for the first episode exceeded 3%, which means it is the best drama of the year with its eyes closed and it can win everything!

"Fuck, Governor Zhou is awesome!"

The computer room was buzzing with excited whispers, and one straightforward staff member was so excited that he couldn't help but swear.

Seeing the leader right behind him, he smiled awkwardly.

Unexpectedly, the leader was even more excited than him.

Zhang Hua clenched his fists, and the eyes behind the lenses were like the light of an incandescent lamp that suddenly lit up.

The corners of his mouth curled up, unable to suppress it, and he murmured with emotion:

"You can always trust Zhou Yutang, the No. 1 in the country in terms of ratings!"

……

"The new drama of Jiangdong Grand Commander S+ premiered, and the ratings exceeded 3!"

"The new Pisces girl gained hundreds of thousands of followers overnight!"

“The best drama of the year, a must-see during the National Day holiday!”

That night, Liu Yifei, Liu Shishi, Yang Mi, Gao Yuanyuan and others, including Jiangdong’s own artists, posted on Weibo to follow the drama simultaneously.

People in the circle, such as Huang Xiaoming and his wife, and Deng Chao and his wife, also played with the gags in the drama in a funny way.

News about "The Lonely and Great God" has been listed on the entertainment headlines of major portals.

Hot posts on forums, hot searches on Weibo, hot lists on TikTok...

Overnight, the entire entertainment industry exploded.

The senior executives of Blueberry TV, including Huanrui, the producer of "Sparrow", are all paying close attention to this matter.

When they first received the news, everyone stared in astonishment, unable to believe it.

"How is it possible that the ratings for the first episode exceeded 3? Did they buy the ratings?"

"Does Zhou Yutang's project still need to buy ratings?"

"The TV series was made to look like a movie, and I admit defeat with all my heart."

Huanrui CEO Zhao sighed helplessly: "Zhou Yutang is the ratings god of Chinese TV dramas."

It’s really not my own fault. The ratings of "Sparrow" have exceeded 2, and it has become a hit drama, which is quite impressive.

Who would have thought that Zhou Yutang’s appeal was so unmatched and that he would have such an explosive start.

They are all professionals, so it is not difficult to see.

Following this trend, throughout late September and even early October, "The Magnificent God" was at the top of the ratings charts.

However, fortunately, "Sparrow" was aired at the beginning of the month, and now it is in the later stage, and it has gained all the popularity it deserves.

Losing this round, losing to the god of ratings, is not shameful.

"The first episode was a huge hit, with ratings exceeding 3%, Governor Zhou is the ratings god!"

"It's really exaggerated. Zhou Yutang's audience appeal is really too terrifying."

"Basic operation of the Grand Commander, sit down, sit down."

"Commander Zhou easily captured the little sparrow with one move."

"In fact, if Joy of Life was also broadcasted exclusively by one TV station, the ratings would surely exceed 3."

"Zhang Ruolan is quite pretty. Zhou Gou has a good eye."

"After all, the benchmarks of Asian aesthetics are: Korean chaebols, Japanese fashion shows, and Zhou Dudu of the Celestial Empire."

Throughout late September, since the premiere of "Brilliant God", the entire nation has been chasing the drama.

The popularity remains high, it has gone viral and has become a hot social topic.

Even Teacher Fan, who is far away in Spain, sent a message of congratulations and urged for more updates.

This time, the online broadcasting rights are still with Bilibili, and were given to Tencent for distribution.

There are very few pirated versions of Jiangdong Entertainment's projects.

This is thanks to Governor Zhou’s strong foundation and the fact that Tencent is also a strategic partner.

IQiyi, LeTV and other companies have occasionally taken over the online distribution rights of Jiangdong Entertainment's popular TV series and movies.

So after "The Lonely and Great God" was broadcast on Bilibili and Penguin that night, the number of online views on the first day easily exceeded 200 million.

This is a true double explosion between Taiwan and the Internet!
