Chapter 158: Crossing the Passage

When the ending song started playing on the TV screen, many people suddenly realized that it was almost nine o’clock. The first episode of this TV series was actually 52 minutes long, nearly an hour!

However, even though it was so long, people still didn’t see enough. The key point was that it was interrupted at the most important part, right? People who like to watch movies with interruptions can’t stand it, right?

Therefore, when the ending theme just started to play, in who knows how many households, in front of how many TV sets, and in who knows how many people, they couldn’t help but sigh that it ended here! I felt so itchy and uncomfortable in my heart!

Including Zhang Yan, Liu Yijun and others who were watching the TV series together in the hotel room at the moment, when they saw the end of this episode, they subconsciously couldn’t help showing an expression of dissatisfaction. Everyone was full and even the chatting had stopped long ago. At this moment, all their attention was on this TV series and this story~!

At this time, Zhang Yan’s assistant couldn’t help but complain:”Isn’t this too good of a division?”

Zhang Yan and Liu Yijun recovered relatively quickly. Zhang Yan laughed out loud upon hearing this.”Good division! No wonder each episode has to be over 50 minutes long. That’s the point! For a TV series, how can it be okay without some hooks?”

Liu Yijun smiled and said,”It’s okay, there’s still the second episode today!”

As soon as the first episode ended, many people sighed helplessly and were about to get up to go to the bathroom. Zhang Yan, for example, was about to take a shower. But then, when the ending song sounded, it quickly drew everyone’s attention!

Even if we take it apart from the TV series itself, the song”Du Qing” is definitely an exceptional duet love song. Its catchy lyrics that contain Chinese-style love values, and the distinctive singing of a man and a woman, all make it full of a unique charm.

In fact, this is the first time that Mr. Zuo Hongyuan, a top music producer in the Chinese music scene and also known as the”benchmark helmsman of the pop music scene”, has opened his voice.

The one who sang with him was his last disciple and granddaughter Zuo Qingcheng.

When Zuo Hongyuan’s distinctive voice sounded, many people stood up, but could not help but stop and look at the TV screen. Zhang Yan, who had already entered the bathroom, could not help but open the door, peeped through the door and asked with a smile:”It is said that this is sung by Teacher Zuo Hongyuan?”

Liu Yijun laughed and nodded,”It is said that”

The first episode ends with a few minutes of commercial time in between.

Night, nine o’clock

The building where Blueberry TV is located is still brightly lit.

Of course, the top few floors were dark, and only a few offices in these office areas had lights on all the time.

One of them is the office of Wu Haixiong, the deputy director.

In his office, he watched the first episode of the TV series again from beginning to end. This time, it was with the Blueberry TV logo.

The ending song had already finished playing and the commercials were starting to play. All sorts of thoughts were running through his mind, and he would subconsciously turn his head to look at the phone on the desk from time to time.

After two or three minutes, the phone finally rang.

He reached out his hand immediately, and before the first ring was over, his hand was already on the microphone. But after hesitating for a moment, he still picked up the remote control and muted the TV. Then he waited for the phone to ring a few more times before picking up the phone and said with dignity,”I’m Wu Haixiong.”

A voice said on the other end of the phone:”Taiwan Wu, the ratings for the first episode are out. The highest in the first half was 2.6, and by the end, the highest was 3.0, which is basically the same as the highest ratings of our previous drama.”

Wu Haixiong nodded, frowned slightly, and said calmly:”I know. Report to me after the second episode is over.”

The person on the other end of the phone agreed, and Wu Haixiong quickly hung up the phone.

He stood up and walked around the office, rubbing his brows.

The highest is 3 points. This data is definitely not high. Even for the past ratings of satellite TV, it can only be considered above average. But fortunately, this is only the first episode.

Although he had done his best in the previous publicity, Blueberry TV has been declining for so many years! He should be content to be able to reach the highest ratings of the previous TV series in the first episode.

It’s only 50 million!

He got it by insisting on his own will and against all odds. God knows how much pressure he is under now!

Not only has he offended many of his domestic satellite TV stations, but CCTV is also dissatisfied with this. And the key thing is that he wants to reform satellite TV stations. This is his first step in terms of TV content!

Once this play fails, although the direction of reform will not change, in fact, as long as the family behind him still supports him, then these people in the station cannot change anything, but there is no doubt that he will face more doubts and resistance in the future, and many policies that could have been implemented in one go will be difficult.

Thinking of this, he sat down and subconsciously looked up at the screen, waiting for the second episode to start. At the same time, he couldn’t help but think subconsciously in his heart: It’s such a big business, and I put 50 million on his table in one go. As a result, before the TV series starts, the most important thing is publicity, but that guy is unwilling to bring a team over to do some publicity or something!

“What a weirdo!” He couldn’t help but complain in his heart

When Zhang Yan hurriedly took a shower and came out, the prologue of the second episode had just finished playing.

The events of the second episode began soon. (To read the exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

White Snake quickly recognized Xu Xian, and then counted with her fingers, confirming that it was the shepherd boy who saved her a thousand years ago. However, after a thousand years of reincarnation, she didn’t know whether the current Xu Xian was still as kind as the shepherd boy in that life. So at this time, the naughty Xiaoqing tried to kill him, and tried again and again.

Facts have proved that after thousands of years and many reincarnations, Xu Xian is still the kind little shepherd boy.

So, the two began to try to hook up with this pure and kind young man.

The West Lake was caught in the rain. The scene on TV was simply beautiful. Then, when the woodcutter and Xiaoqing sang the song”The Ferry” that we had heard at the end of the previous episode, it added to the poetic atmosphere.[]

The audience had already completely adapted to the beautiful singing segment after segment. Moreover, due to the simplicity of the tune, many of them became familiar with the melody after listening to a few segments and began to hum along.

Then, the plot moves forward rapidly.

After Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing had used all kinds of tricks to deceive and deceive, Xu Xian, who had been deeply infatuated with Bai Suzhen’s charming style, soon became unable to extricate himself, and then the two got married.

The two people’s heartfelt singing to each other on their wedding night really brought their hearts closer.

But later, when Xu Xian went home to tell his sister and brother-in-law the good news and took the stolen silver from Xiaoqing back with him, he was recognized by his brother-in-law Li Gongfu, a county constable.

At this point, the two lines laid out in the previous two episodes suddenly intersected here, and the hearts of every audience in front of the TV were suddenly lifted.

Then the second episode ended

At this moment, I wonder how many people who have been following the TV series until ten o’clock couldn’t help but sigh and feel full of resentment!

Of course, it is important to get up early to go to work tomorrow, but the problem is, this TV series is too annoying when it is interrupted. How can it be interrupted at such a critical moment every time?

If you want to watch the third episode, you have to wait until tomorrow!

Of course, at this moment few people realize that, in order to ensure the ratings of the next episodes, TV dramas must pay attention to the rhythm of storytelling and interrupt episodes at key places. This is an essential editing technique. But why, they also watched TV dramas before, and had watched many TV dramas, why were they not so angry when the episodes were interrupted at that time?

That’s just because this TV series, whether it’s the core of the story, the wonderfulness of the plot, or the appearance and performance of the actors, has accurately cut into the hearts of the Chinese people for thousands of years, while other TV series have not done so.

In the office, when the TV series had ended for quite some time, Wu Haixiong finally received the second episode’s ratings data, which was 3.8, much higher than the first episode. However, this was just a normal fluctuation, and there was no sign of a sudden rise.

The only consolation is that���This proves that the first two episodes of this TV series are still very attractive to the audience who have already started watching it. At least everyone did not switch channels.

However, Wu Haixiong couldn’t help thinking:”This alone is obviously not enough.”
