China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 241: Ratings broke 7, a phenomenal hit
The first-day battle report of "The Name" obtained by Li Yu showed that the average ratings of the first two episodes were just over 2.5.

For an average TV director, such first-run results are already great.

For Li Yu, such premiere ratings are really average.

When Li Muge got the battle report from Xiangnantai, he thought that Xiangnantai had sent it wrong.

Because this is the TV series with the worst first-run ratings since Li Yu's "Star You".

Li Muge was worried that Li Yu, a person who had never experienced failure, would be hit, so he comforted him: "Director Li, the audience for TV dramas with this theme is relatively small, even smaller than criminal investigation dramas. It is already possible to get more than 2.5 first-run ratings. Very good.”

What Li Muge said was both comforting and true words from the heart.

Li Muge's heart was good, but he didn't know that Li Yu himself didn't have high requirements for the first broadcast of "In Name".

The first two episodes had an average rating of over 2.5, and Li Yu already considered it a success.

As Li Muge said, the subject itself is unpopular, so a mediocre start is normal.

Li Yu's starting results are already much better than the original version.

As long as given a little more time, Li Yu believes that the potential of the drama "The Name" will burst out.

In fact, Li Muge's situation is small.

Li Yu said calmly: "Director Mu, let the bullets fly for a while and wait for word of mouth to ferment."

After the second episode was aired, Zhao Dehan's scene quickly became popular on the Internet, attracting a large number of passers-by and directly pushing the show to its peak.

In my opinion, the performance of this drama will definitely not be worse than that of "The Signal". "

Especially Zhao Dehan. In the original time and space, "The Name" was able to achieve such a great success, and Zhao Dehan's wonderful performance was the main contributor.

Li Muge personally believes that the drama "In Name" itself is a task that Li Yu took on.

Li Muge nodded twice and said seriously: "I also watched the premiere of "In Name" at home last night. Director Li, I'm really not flattering you.

Li Yu had planned the specific marketing plan early.

It's only a little before 9:30 in the morning, so there's not enough time for word-of-mouth to ferment.

The original version of "The Name" had a ratings of over 8 during the post-apocalyptic era of TV stations and became a phenomenally popular TV series.

Based on these two points alone, Li Yu is confident that the results of his version will not be worse than the original version.

Just judging from the first two episodes, the quality of this drama is ridiculously high!
The reputation of this follow-up drama will definitely explode. I speculate that it will attract a large number of viewers with its reputation just like "The Signal" back then.

At 10 o'clock, Station A updated the first two episodes.

The first two episodes of "In Name" were broadcast on Xiangnan Channel from 7:30 to 9:30 last night.

To be able to achieve similar results to "Signal", Li Yu's task has been successfully completed. The answer sheet he handed in to Dali Temple must be not only a perfect score, but at least an excellent result.

It's just a mediocre start, but it will start to climb quickly later. Li Yu has full confidence in this.

At that time, the average ratings of the entire drama "Signal" were less than 5 points.

Because "The Name" starts off with a bang, with Tom Ding celebrating freedom in the first episode, and Zhao Dehan in the second episode.

This version of Li Yu deletes useless plots such as Huang Mao and Zheng Xipo, and perfectly fills in the regret-filled love between Qi Tongwei and Chen Yang.

What happened next confirmed Li Yu's guess.

By the afternoon, many users at Station A had already watched the TV series "In Name".

In addition, the UP owners at Station A edited the highlights of Tom Ding and Zhao Dehan into various videos.

After fermenting for most of the day, the TV series "In Name" has become completely popular at Station A.

As one of the most popular video websites in China, Station A has great influence.

In addition, Li Yu asked people from the marketing team to make screenshots of Ding Yizhen and Zhao Dehan into emoticons and share them on blogs, Tieba, Penguin groups and various well-known forums.

The interesting emoticons made a large number of passersby and netizens discover this TV series called "In Name".

After they discovered "The Name", they came to Station A to find out what it was all about, and were conquered by Ding Yizhen and Zhao Dehan's magical acting skills and famous scenes.

This is how the positive cycle begins. By the next day, the average ratings for the third and fourth episodes had exceeded 4.

This is far from reaching the limit of "The Name".

By the fifth day, the average ratings of the latest episodes 7 and had exceeded .

What’s even more frightening is that the rising momentum has not stopped and is still continuing to climb.

On the Internet, "In Name" is becoming more and more popular day by day.

Netizens spoke highly of "The Name" for its large scale, compact plot, and explosive acting skills.

"I was shocked. I had heard about the scale before watching this drama.

I didn't want to believe it at first. I thought the large scale was just a publicity stunt by the crew.

After reading it, I knelt down directly. The screenwriter was so brave to write it, and the director was so brave to shoot it.

I finally figured out why the title of the play was called "Nominal". It turned out that there was really only two words left: "Nominal". "

"The reports and meetings are grand and real."

"It's so wonderful and exciting. It's the first time I've seen a modern drama on such a large scale."

After "In Name" became a hit, Da Tiantian was the first person who couldn't sit still. She hurriedly came to see Li Yu, and her intestines were filled with regret.

Before the filming of "In Name" started, Li Yu invited her to play the role of Chen Yang.

Already a heroine with a box office of 4 million, she looked down on the supporting role that didn't have many roles.

It wasn't until she saw that Ding Yizhen and Zhao Dehan, who had less roles than Chen Yang, were both popular on the Internet, and the ratings of the latest two episodes exceeded 7, that she realized what she had missed.

"Li Yu, I regret it. I shouldn't have refused your invitation."

Da Tiantian said depressedly with a bitter face.

How could she have imagined that an unpopular drama with a mission-based nature could become so popular?
Even the supporting characters like Ding Yizhen and Zhao Dehan have become famous all over the Internet.

Da Tiantian has every reason to believe that Chen Yang, who has more roles than these two characters, can become popular.

Although as a movie star, she looks down on ordinary TV series, but for a drama like this with excellent ratings, her guest role will not lower her quality.

It can also help her attract a lot of fans as Li Yu said at the time.

Li Yu looked at the regretful Da Tiantian and said lightly: "Tiantian, the love between Chen Yang and Qi Tongwei has not been broadcast yet..."

Da Tiantian answered directly: "You want to tell me that Chen Yang will not be as popular as Zhao Dehan, right?"

Suddenly, Da Tiantian felt a little more comfortable.

That's right, Zhao Dehan became popular because of the scale of the plot and Hou Yong's acting skills.

As a loyal user of Station A, Da Tiantian has watched the clip of Zhao Dehan eating fried noodles on Station A many times in the past few days.

As expected of a seasoned actor, the scenes of eating noodles with soybean paste are so perfect and perfect.

Da Tiantian thinks it is very reasonable for Chen Yang to be unable to catch up with Zhao Dehan.

After all, Liu Shishi, who plays Chen Yang, does not have as good acting skills as Hou Yong.

However, Li Yu's next words brought Da Tiantian back to the cold reality: "Tiantian, what are you thinking about? I just wanted to tell you that after the love story between Qi Tongwei and Chen Yang is over, you will find that Chen Yang More popular than Zhao Dehan.”

Zhao Dehan's character is certainly a classic, but the most popular character in "The Name" is undoubtedly Qi Tongwei, the son-in-law of Shengtian.

Li Yu added scenes between Qi Tongwei and Chen Yang, allowing the audience to witness their beautiful love with their own eyes.

After Qi Tongwei failed to win the first half of his life and ended up committing suicide by swallowing a gun, people will definitely feel sorry for the regretful love between Qi Tongwei and Chen Yang.

As much as people regret the love between Qi Tongwei and Chen Yang, these two characters are so popular.

Da Tiantian was completely numb: "..."

She felt like she really missed out on 100 million!
