This top guy only treats celebrities as his job

Chapter 279: Airborne, fixed, too low (guaranteed +4/20)
On January 1, "For Whom the Bell Tolls" officially concluded on Penguin Video.

That night, the popularity value immediately ranked first among TV dramas, and even reached the first place on the soaring list.

You must know that "For Whom the Bell Tolls" has been ranked first in popularity 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 broadcasts on the Internet has never been high.

In many cases, it would be considered good if the popularity of a spy drama exceeds 2000 on the first day of broadcast.

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

Breaking 10,000, this popularity value is almost the best result for a spy drama.

Not only that, but the popularity of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" continues to rise.

Although the increase has been slow, it has remained stable above 1, which in itself represents a miracle.

And with the end of the Magic City TV station, Penguin Video is bound to have another wave of new additions.

After all, new members are dads now, not only on video websites, but also on live broadcast platforms, takeout platforms, shopping platforms, etc. Who is not recruiting new members? ?
Old members are worse than dogs.

But on the other hand, "For Whom the Bell Tolls", which everyone is not very optimistic about, has exploded in ratings and popularity.

This is what Lao Zhong said most often in drama reviews.

Drama king.

Forget about spy dramas, among any type of drama, the popularity of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" has not weakened at all.

Two dramas, one with a supporting role and one with the protagonist. In one year, Lin Xing has successfully upgraded in the TV drama circle.

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

A negative example is "Darkness Before Dawn". The actors in this TV series can be said to be all acting talents, and no one has missed a beat.

Script is king.

This is truly powerful.

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

This not only breaks the record for spy dramas, but also sets a benchmark for TV dramas in 2025.

"Yeah, let's watch Lin Xing's next TV series now, but I quite believe in Lin Xing, because his ability to choose scripts is really strong."

"That's right, look at Ren Yi. Ren Yi has won many awards for "The Dark Side" and is said to have strong ability to handle dramas. But what about "Darkness Before Dawn" when you watch it??"

Some people in the industry claimed that "For Whom the Bell Tolls" was a miracle. Some people had expected that the show would be a small hit, but no one thought it would be a big hit.

From the beginning to now, it can basically be said that Lao Zhong writes a drama review in two days.

Let’s not talk about the industry, even Lao Zhong has the same idea.

According to statistics from Penguin Video, "For Whom the Bell Tolls" also brought them up to 300 million new members.

The next day, when the data network was updated, the real-time popularity value of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" stopped at 1.3.

The current ratings of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" on Shanghai TV Station have remained between 2 and 3.2.

Yes.

But no one expected that the drama "Darkness Before Dawn" would be mediocre and unsuccessful.

But so what? ?

If the popularity value of a TV series cannot reach this number, then don’t call yourself a phenomenon-level drama.

"The ratings and online broadcasts of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" prove Lin Xing's ability to resist dramas, but whether the drama is better or the person is better depends on his next drama."

The most important thing is that it has only been 23 days, which means that "For Whom the Bell Tolls" helped Penguin Video bring 300 million new members during its launch period.

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

Originally, Penguin Video originally wanted to screen the show, but in the end they gave up on short-term benefits and planned to maximize the benefits of the show.

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

Drama king.

Before this drama, there had been a lot of discussions about spy war dramas, and the spy war theme was also filmed by many people. Just look at "Darkness Before Dawn" to know.

Recall that the big drama at the beginning of 2024 was "Anti-Gangster". At that time, Lin Xing won the title of "Evil Man" with Zhou Bo.

……

Most of the discounts are only for new members.

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

In the end, "For Whom the Bell Tolls" once again increased the popularity value by 2000 on the day of the finale.

This is not a whipping, for Lao Zhong, this is just a simple comparison.

1.3 million.

For example, although Niu Xiang's acting skills are quite eye-catching in the drama "Strike", the script is still relatively solid after all, so the ratings began to soar as Niu Xiang was off the production line.

At first she talked about "The Power of Man" and "The Darkness Before Dawn" in her drama reviews, and later she also mentioned "Eternal Life", and then no one mentioned it anymore.

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, 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 carefully choose his next drama. Now he has laid a solid foundation in TV dramas with two dramas. As long as he continues to do two more TV dramas, he will be able to firmly establish himself as a new star in TV dramas. He is 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’s really not okay 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 will not make people act. Look at these young talents again?"

"Yes, I think what Lao Zhong said is right. "The Heart of Power" 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."

"@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 big 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 already a very powerful V with a vicious tongue, and she doesn’t like to indulge in fan circles.

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 of suing 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 forwarded an account with the ID name of 'Chu Chen Information Station'. This account belonged to a big V with 20 fans, but it was a fan of Chu Chen, so it was not considered cyberbullying for Lao Zhong to forward her.

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 laughing so hard. Why are you fishing here with the old clock?"

"Hahaha, I was just thinking about why Lao Zhong suddenly did this? After all, how can I vote against people in the fan circle?"

"Old Zhong really kills people and kills people."

……

Then Lao Zhong forwarded several Weibo posts from Chu Chen’s top fans.

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

"You guys' "Eternal Life" has the worst real-time playback volume."

"Your "Eternal Life" really hit the market."

"Your Chu Chen doesn't do drama."

……

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

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

Only people who are familiar with Lao Zhong understand that everyone was watching "For Whom the Bell Tolls" when it was airing, and Lao Zhong didn't want to tear it up at this time.

She was afraid of affecting everyone's mood while watching the show.

But now, "For Whom the Bell Tolls" has concluded, what else does Lao Zhong have to fear? ?
And no matter what Chu Chen's fans said next, Lao Zhong responded: "Your "Eternal Life" ratings are off the charts."

Almost an instant kill.

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

The ratings broke 3.8.

The sky is blue.

No one thought that Modu TV would one day have a TV series with a ratings rating of over 3.8, almost one step away from breaking through to 4.

You must know that for Wang Zha's dramas on CCTV or Tan Provincial TV Station, it is rare for the ratings to exceed 3.

Today’s TV stations are no better than they used to be, and most viewers now don’t know how to turn on the TV.

On the one hand, it’s because everyone has become accustomed to watching dramas on mobile phones or tablets, and on the other hand, TVs are becoming more and more intelligent and difficult to use.

Last year, someone said that it is not suitable for elderly people to turn on the TV. Even young people don’t know how to turn on the TV and find a channel.

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

The result was not good, the ratings of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" actually exceeded 3.8 on the final day.

Comparing it with the video website "For Whom the Bell Tolls" brought 300 million new members to Penguin Video, one thing can be said, this drama is really the best.

Everyone is reaping the dividends from Wang Zha's drama.

With the popularity of the show before, everyone has already eaten a lot, but after the finale of this drama, the bonus is enough to last for a while.

At this time, "I am Yu Xiaohei" was released and scheduled.

"Let me go, why don't you take advantage of the popularity? This "I am Yu Xiaohei" has only been filming for a long time, and it has been scheduled immediately??"

"Good guy, we released the schedule quickly. We didn't even do any publicity. The show will start tomorrow and the schedule will be announced today??"

"And we directly announced that there will be a press conference tomorrow afternoon. Do you want to be so realistic?"

……

While everyone was discussing "For Whom the Bell Tolls", "I Am Yu Xiaohei" was directly announced to be released on January 1th.

This is really airborne.

Because there has never been any news before. The last time there was news was when Lin Xing finished filming "I Am Yu Xiaohei".

The result was good.

This time it was airborne directly.

This made many people drunk.

Because anyone with a discerning eye can see it, no, even a non-blind person can see it. It is obvious that this is "I Am Yu Xiaohei" taking advantage of Lin Xing's popularity.

And it's so obvious.

You must know that "For Whom the Bell Tolls" only had its finale on the TV station last night. As soon as the data network updated the ratings today, the ratings immediately exploded.

Then, without waiting for a flurry of media reports, the official V of "I Am Yu Xiaohei" directly released a set of finalized posters.

Yes.

The official video of "I Am Yu Xiaohei" didn't even release a final trailer. They just released a set of final posters.

He also said: "At 1pm on January 26th, watch on time how Yu Xiaohei changes his destiny."

Not only Lin Xing's fans were not very happy about this preview on Weibo, but Chu Chen's fans were also a little drunk.

"Nima, are you shameless? Do you want to learn from our Chu Chen's copywriting??"

"Damn it, why would you change your fate in an urban drama? Do you think you are a fairy tale drama??"

"Fuck, you are so shameless, this is a LOW drama."

……

In the past two days, Chu Chen's fans have been extremely depressed. After all, Lao Zhong almost made a false comment. The key is that they have no way to refute.

Now I have seen the official video of the drama "I am Yu Xiaohei" and actually stole his own copywriting. Of course Chu Chen's fans scolded him.

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

Because they think "I Am Yu Xiaohei" is indeed low enough.

After all, this web drama "I am Yu Xiaohei" actually chose to airdrop like this. Isn't this just draining Lin Xing's popularity?

Although Lin Xing was helpful, it would also have an impact on Lin Xing if the show failed.

Fortunately it's a web series.

Lin Xing fans can only think this way.

Yang Tian still called Ding Chunling at this time: "Can't you use Ah Xing's official Weibo to repost it??"

"I do not manage this Weibo account. Lin Xing has always managed it 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."
