Chapter 155 Broadcast
In 2005, September NO.15, at [-] o'clock in the evening, the TV series "Zombie Daoist in the City" jointly invested and produced by the three film and television companies of Fahrenheit Entertainment, Sawyer Film and Television, and Stellar Film and Television was officially launched on Mango Satellite TV, Kyoto Satellite TV, and Phoenix Satellite TV. First-line Satellite TV started broadcasting.

Prior to this, this large-scale production that gathered the domestic popular first-line TV drama actors and actresses has received the attention of many people in China. Among them, Liu Junhui, who plays the male lead, and You Jingmei, who plays the female lead, were both filmed before. The old man who has made more than a dozen zombie movies is now in his 30s, because of his good acting skills, he is more image-like to play a Taoist priest.Attracted the support of many zombie fans.

The second male number and the second female number are Yang Rui and Yang Min respectively. These two are popular young people, and they are obviously targeting young people in China.

It can be seen that the main creator and director of this show have a big appetite and want to cater to all ages. They not only want to attract middle-aged people in their 40s and 20s, but also don't want to let go of young people in their teens and [-]s.

Moreover, from the very beginning when the crew set up a press conference and now it is officially broadcast, various news have been published in the newspapers, and the promotional offensive has never stopped. Now, before the show, many people were tired of watching this show Zombie movie audiences don't like a drama series, but they abruptly promote it as an excellent masterpiece to save zombie movies.

Unknowingly, this strangely-named "Zombie Daoist in the City" has become the most popular and most anticipated new drama that hasn't been aired yet.

Therefore, on the night when the new drama was officially broadcast, many viewers across the country who had been looking forward to it for a long time waited in front of the TV.

And Ning Sheng also answered home this day, and watched this new drama that everyone was talking about with his family. As for his own "I Have a Date with a Zombie", it was also broadcast at the same time today.

But he has confidence in that drama, so he wants to see how the opponent's drama is.

Speaking of which, Mr. Liu of Lotte spent all his time and finally signed contracts with three local TV stations. Each of them paid 30 yuan for an episode, with a total income of 150 million yuan. It can be said that this drama has paid off.

However, when Ning Chen proposed to broadcast "Zombie Taoist in the City" on the same day, the three TV stations did not agree. Just played "I Have a Date with a Zombie".

To be honest, their method is safer, but when Ning Cheng received a call from Sister Chai, telling him that if their TV dramas could not be broadcast at the same time, then he would lose the bet, so Ning Cheng told that The three TV stations, if "I Have a Date with a Zombie" can't get the top three ratings in their local area, then he will refund all the money they bought the TV series copyright to them.

So, under the influence of money, finally, "I Have a Date with Zombies" and "Zombie Daoist in the City" were broadcast at the same time.

Due to time constraints and temporary changes in the broadcast time, etc., Ning Sheng and his TV series have no time to promote them at all. Those three local TV stations used the subtitles at the bottom of the TV to promote them for a whole day, and then temporarily broadcast them on the local news at 07:30. publicized it.

However, such a sharpening of the gun is obviously incomparable with other people's "Zombie Taoist in the City". Nowadays, the only zombie drama known to audiences across the country is "Zombie Taoist in the City", and "I Have a Date with a Zombie" "Except for the beginning, because Ning Sheng and Ding Xuan have been reported several times, and now they don't remember it for a long time.

Of course, maybe Ding Xuan and Ning Sheng's fans will remember it, but because the coverage of the three local TV stations is limited, the rest of the country can't watch it even if they want to.

Even Wan Qiwen and Yuan Jieying, who are far away in Xiangjiang, complained more than once. This is the first TV series Wan Qiwen starred in. When it was broadcast, they couldn't watch it. They could only sit at home and watch "Zombie Daoist" In the City, what a disappointment.

And after [-] o'clock, the much-anticipated "Zombie Daoist in the City" finally started.

The opening title is the theme song sung by Yang Rui. From the pictures of these opening titles, it can be seen that the production of this TV series is really good.

Both the costumes and the props are very delicate, and the zombies wearing modern costumes are more innovative than before, which makes many audiences look forward to it even more.

However, as the opening title passed and the plot officially began, Ning Cheng felt that it was boring after watching an episode.Although the script borrows some things from "I Have a Date with Zombies", it is still stuck in the framework of previous zombie films. For example, zombies are afraid of the sun and can only come out at night, and zombies have limited IQs. Zombies.

After the second episode was over, Ning Cheng had no interest at all, and Ning's parents and Ning's mother who were watching together were also a little bored. They felt that this TV series, which was praised as a flower, was not much different from the previous zombie films. , especially the storyline and the setting of zombies, after watching two episodes, people have no desire to continue chasing.

And for young people, the setting of zombies similar to American zombies has attracted a lot of complaints. Looking at the way those Taoist priests catch zombies, they are also the same as before, but obviously the protagonists are not as good as Master Lin Zhengying The action is chic, and the setting is even more old-fashioned. Therefore, on the next day's entertainment news, more than half of the comments about this TV series are negative.

""Zombie Daoist in the City" has attracted much-anticipated attention, but it turned out to be a change of soup without changing the medicine. It is an old-fashioned thing without many surprises, especially the setting of zombies like zombies, which is even more exciting. When I saw it, I thought I was watching an American horror movie!" --- Huaxia Morning News.

""Zombie Daoist in the City" is a hodgepodge of the plots of previous zombie films, and then brings in an American zombie to add more types of zombies. The director obviously wants to combine Chinese and Western styles to open a new door for zombie films. Unfortunately, the door is not open. Yes, there is a wall behind the door, and there is no wonderful new world. Obviously he looked in the wrong direction and opened the wrong door. Therefore, after this zombie drama, China's zombie movies will sink even more, perhaps more than a dozen or 20 No one will invest in this kind of film for a year!" --- Huaxia Sun Daily.

"Yang Rui and Yang Min, before they participated in "Zombie Daoist in the City", if they were relatively unpopular newcomers in the film and television industry, now, after the influence of this zombie drama, the two popular idols will I am more inclined to the word idol, and farther away from the word "strength". In this drama, the two of them are like two brainless idiots. Apart from being handsome and causing trouble, the only role may be to be a vase , attracted the support of fans of the two! The embarrassing performance of the two with no acting skills, or even "negative acting skills", really gave a lot of encouragement to many newcomers. After all, if they have acting skills like them, they can become famous , that acting is really not as difficult as everyone imagined! After writing this, even my little editor can't help but want to try it!" --- Huaxia TV New Review!
