Keeping A Loyal Dog Is Not As Good As A Loyal Dragon

TV dramas with historical themes sound compelling, but in fact, the audience is far less popular than fast-food dramas.

The more objectively a large-scale production that reflects real historical facts, the fewer audiences willing to buy it, especially in the current environment where history is tampered with and plagiarism is endless, it is harder to have the opportunity to be popular.

Even though Wang Yunlu's previous works have a good reputation, the awards are quite significant, and the ratings are barely close to 1% when the ratings are highest, which is not enough compared to the big IP adaptations that focus on publicity and promotion.

Previously, a few people on the Internet once said that Li Zhiqing’s appearance in "Emperor Record" was a huge advantage, but in fact, "Emperor Record" used Li Zhiqing's strength to overwhelm the fan base of popular niches and gained unprecedented attention during the promotion period. .

The first episode of "Emperor Records" was ranked second in the ratings of the national TV station Golden Theater with a good score of 1.25%. Li Zhiqing's fans are really not small, many have no interest in historical dramas, and usually only follow the drama online. The young people on the platform were patient and sat down in front of the TV at eight o'clock in the evening.

Since Zhong Kuang’s appearances in the first few episodes were all in the opening song of "Emperor Records", the ratings showed a slight downward trend from the second day, and remained between 0.7% and 0.9% for the next few days. Although it is not as good as the first day, it can be regarded as a top-notch performance in contemporary serious historical dramas.

Several people in the director team were very happy this week. They posted eight or nine red envelopes in the WeChat group to be happy. Some old drama bones also joked with Li Zhiqing, saying that he was auspicious for the crew. Things.

It was not until Zhong Kuang officially appeared in the play that the director team realized that they were happy early.

The ratings that night went up like a rocket, and finally floated around 2.5%. The eight episodes alone dominated the rankings, and it broke directly in the environment where the online platform occupied more traffic. The ratings record of historical dramas set the highest score without any suspense.

The data of "Emperor Record" on the online cooperation platform is even more amazing, with an average of nearly 200 million views per episode, which is comparable to popular idol dramas. This is a level that is beyond the imagination of the project preparation stage.

What's more rare is that there have not been a few bad reviews in the series so far. The behind-the-scenes team and participating members are all reliable, and the network evaluation is as high as 9.8 points.

The audience is no longer confined to a fixed group. Those who first rushed to see Li Zhiqing were finally attracted by the plot. Some people will look for the series related to the "Emperor Record" directed by Wang Yunlu while waiting for the update. While the old drama of a year ago brought splashes, it also made many young people remember the name of the old drama bone.

The number of Li Zhiqing's Weibo fans seems to be changing in the positive direction every moment. Most of the newly added fans were supporters of powerful actors in the past, and they belonged to the type where the support was not obvious, but they would watch after they had works.

Compared with Li Zhiqing’s little fans, their age, experience, and social class are higher, and they don’t appreciate the niches in the circle with red lips and white teeth. Before the launch of "The Record of Emperors", the positioning of Li Zhiqing was only in appearance. On the little fresh meat that is good and popular, and seeing Zhong Kuang in the play does not lose the performance of the old actor, the gap between the objective reality and the subjective impression can make people get more surprises, and he is attracted by Li Zhiqing. It is just a matter of time.

The actors and actresses in "Emperor Records" all reveal natural antiquity, and their makeup and clothing are in line with the characteristics of the times in the background of the story. Everyone seems to have traveled from history to the screen, and is well received by the party.

Li Zhiqing has a solid advantage in this regard. The role played by Zhong Kuang has swept the social space in just a few days. Fans have added a tag to the personal forum and he is a little shameful to be someone else. It is especially suitable to put him on Label: A born costume boy.

And because of this little boy in costume, a little joke was made on the Internet, which attracted many people eating melons to watch.

Every year at the end of the year, there will always be some summary selection posts on forums and post bars. This year is no exception. Several consecutive ranking posts that selected domestic male actors in costumes have put Li Zhiqing first.

This was originally a good thing for the fans to be happy together, but in the end, it was still noisy because of which photo of Li Zhiqing was released by the poster.

Some people think that Li Zhiqing’s cameo father in "Speaking of Monsters" has the best appearance. From hairstyle to clothing, he has the pleasing elements in the costume drama. The popular makeup and the beautiful but not-female face are gentle and elegant. Without losing good looks, a few months ago, many people used screenshots from the show as their avatars.

Some people think that Li Zhiqing’s clock style in "The Records of Emperors" is more in line with the definition of a handsome man in ancient costumes. Once he appears on the stage, people can appreciate the romantic charm of historical figures. The overall image is very real, unlike "The World" "The appearance in ", at first glance, there are only virtual characters in idol dramas.

Fans who are also Li Zhiqing, in the dispute, they split into the father party and the Zhong Kuang party. They opened a few new posts for discussion, and even brought up topics on Weibo, and slowly climbed to the top ten hot searches. position.

The onlookers were stunned, they didn't know if they should bite it down while holding the melon.

[...I've heard of the first and second fans quarreling with each other before, and I've seen the first and last fans spray each other, this is the first time I have experienced internal discord between the fans .]

[Aren’t they all pretty?It doesn't make any difference which stills you put. It was originally performed by one person, so you have made the fans who furiously fight for the number one for idols in the past a few years to lose face.]

The disparity between the father party and the Zhong Kuang party not only caused the netizens of the major platforms to watch the excitement happily, but also attracted everyone's attention to the data of the two dramas.

Ordinary people don't know how to find past ratings trends, so they can only look at the situation on their respective online platforms.

The vertical and horizontal comparisons twice made everyone happy.

"Emperor Records" is fortunate, it is a conscientious product in itself, and Li Zhiqing's participation in the performance has allowed potential audiences who have not had contact with historical dramas in the past to join the ranks of the drama.The first episode’s network broadcast volume was 210 million, and the few episodes that Zhong Kuang did not appear were in his early 100s. After Zhong Kuang officially joined the plot development, the broadcast volume was close to 300 million, and he just pushed up the average score of each episode.

"Speaking of Monsters" is different. It's just a small investment and a small production. There are no highlights in the script. The influence of the lead actor Chen Yipei was incomparable with that of Li Zhiqing at that time. Each episode only scored more than 50 million. The number "2" is directly added before the broadcast volume, which is half more than Cheng Jiarun's part, which can be called a peak in all dramas.

[I feel that the citizens of Lebanon will be very popular with investors in the future, and it is simply a ratings savior.]

[I can already imagine the dominance of the screen in the next two years, just look at the few niches in the circle now, no one can compare to Li Zhiqing's influence?]

One netizen's summary is even more rude and powerful: [Li Zhiqing is about to usher in his popularity peak next year...]

This sentence is half true and half false. Li Zhiqing's popularity is indeed rising at an alarming rate, but to speak of the peak, perhaps there is no need to wait until next year.

Since 2010, major domestic video service platforms have jointly organized a year-end selection event on an online platform to transfer the selection rights to the majority of netizens. Netizens vote for shortlisted works and shortlisted stars, and then host them. Representatives of Fang and netizens formed a team of judges to jointly select the winners of major awards.

As the role of social networks in film and television marketing is becoming more and more obvious, this activity has also received more and more attention from the big names in the circle, especially in the past two years, the weight of the awards is obviously much heavier.

Although Li Zhiqing does not have a representative work of the leading role, he can't bear his strong fan base. Starting from the primary selection curtain, the actor's popularity list has won the same number of votes as the crazy horse whose ass was smashed, ranking first. Not to mention, in just one hour, he opened the same distance as the others behind the big fault.

Li Zhiqing had just returned from work at the time. These days the movie has ended. Everyone on the set is as exhausted as his grandson. When he was resting, he had either closed his eyes or looked through the script. He didn't have much time to pay attention to what he caused on the Internet.

Now he has basically finished filming the film, and tomorrow is a rare leisure. After taking a bath, he can finally relax by playing on his mobile phone without any psychological burden.

Pressing the bright screen, in addition to the information in the "Emperor Records" crew, Li Zhiqing also saw Feng Liangqiu sent him a series of "666" WeChat messages not long ago.

He sent an expression of contempt, and Feng Liangqiu returned to him: [You are going to be completely angry.]

[Thanks, I already felt that way a month ago.] Li Zhiqing was joking.

Feng Liangqiu sent him a screenshot of the voting page: [You are basically stable. The medals will be officially awarded at the end of the year. In the spring, you will wait for the script to be softened.]

Li Zhiqing looked at the rankings with a small picture, smiled and typed: [Thanks to the love of the girls and boys, this is the result of their hard work, and it has nothing to do with me.]

Feng Liangqiu: [No, you still have uncles and aunts fans, remember to bring them when you thank you next time.]

Li Zhiqing: [???]

Feng Liangqiu watched the other party's votes increase by a large amount, thought about what he was doing when he was about 20 years old, and fully realized the sad feeling that people are inferior to others, and he said "Go to Weibo by yourself". Go alone and feel that the years are not forgiving.

Li Zhiqing clicked on Weibo according to his words, and the screen of the mobile phone he had not changed for many years suddenly stuck. After waiting for a long time, he didn't see any relief. If the fuselage was still vibrating hard, Li Zhiqing would think it was useless today.

"My mother, get up and dry your hair quickly." As soon as Tang Shunshi came in, he saw Li Zhiqing lying on the bed in pajamas, with the tips of his hair dampening his back, and hurriedly throwing the towel that was thrown by the bed at him. Cover your head.

You Chuan went to other places to line up to buy supper. If he came back later and saw Li Zhiqing's wet hair in a cold day, he didn't care about it, maybe he would be caught off guard.

Li Zhiqing just finished a round of Weibo and didn't care about being called "mother" by Tang Shunshi. He turned over and got up from the bed, rubbing his hair and handing the phone to Tang Shunshi: "Look at this."

Tang Shunshi took the phone, and Li Zhiqing showed him Chen Yipei's plastic surgery news that he spent money on the hot search. The look before and after was compared, and he even dug it out according to who he was. Shen Yun did look very similar.

Tang Shun had a headache when he saw it. It wasn't that he didn't know what the situation of this man surnamed Chen was, but with You Chuan pressing in front, he did not dare to let Li Zhiqing know.

"The person they dug up has passed away a few years ago. Although it is also in the circle, but the popularity seems to have been tepid." Li Zhiqing asked him, "You told me before that Chen Yipei was talented because of changing lives with others. Will cause a change in his appearance, he can never change his life with a dead person, right?"

Tang Shunshi looked down at the phone and reached out to touch the flesh on the back of his neck. His heart said he really made this kid focus on the point.

Li Zhiqing knew that he had guessed about it 80% of the time when he saw him constrictingly, and without urging him, he raised his head and looked at him quietly.

In fact, Li Zhiqing's focused eyes on people would feel that no one looked at it. It was just that You Chuan's idiot. Han attribute was too heavy, and each time he was seen disarmed faster, compromise was even more unprincipled.

Tang Shunshi felt that Li Zhiqing should be prepared a little bit. He suddenly sighed when he saw that there was no breath of You Chuan around, then sat down beside him, clicked on the picture of the dead actor on the screen, and reported. Give a date.

"Why do you say this?" Li Zhiqing was taken aback by him. This date was his birthday.

"I'm talking about this person's date of birth." Tang Shunshi added, he didn't dare to tell Li Zhiqing the details clearly, so he could only mention a few words in a vague way.

Li Zhiqing's mind turned fast and couldn't help but connect the matter to himself.

It is a coincidence that he, Chen Yipei, and the person in the photo were all born on the same day in different years.

"Let's talk about the young man surnamed Chen first. Although he has a good life style, people who know how to do it will understand that the place for him to show his fists has absolutely nothing to do with the entertainment industry." Tang Shunshi said, "There must be something in the middle, let He has come to this step." He paused, and then said, "Is it because I met a "fake nobleman" or a woman whose fate is water, with the word "water" in her name."

The "fake nobleman" is similar in nature to the "damaging friend" in the stars. On the surface, it helps oneself, but in fact it only biases the fortune downward.

Li Zhiqing's heart jumped, and suddenly he thought of Chen Yipei's saying that he should have been eliminated from the competition, and that Cheng Jiarun happened to be pulled. The word "run" is not related to water.

"Then this person is not very different from the young man Chen, so he has gone the same way." Tang Shunshi looked at him, "It's also a coincidence that it's also unlucky to meet a'fake nobleman'."

After talking about two of the three, there is only one Li Zhiqing left.

"Now that the times have progressed, the entertainment industry is a good place. It is not only rich, but also popular. I don't know how many young people come in for fame and fortune." Tang Shunshi said, "Of course you are different. The name is not profitable, and the old dragon god who has the ability to reach the sky is the one I met."

Li Zhiqing said no, leaving aside his gaze, recalling what happened earlier.

When he was auditioning in the cast of "Speaking of the Demon", the directors were obviously reluctant to let him run the game, but Cheng Jiarun happened to come over and let him stay with a few words, and then the copper money was split for no reason. thing.

Were it not for You Chuan to come over, how the Laojie incident would end is really uncertain.

"The game ended at a young age, and the game was over with a face-lifting hat." Tang Shunshi returned the phone to him, feeling that You Chuan was about to return, speeding up his speech. The belching player number one went round and round, and you saw'Little Ghost Shangxiang' the other day."

"Number one, number two," Li Zhiqing stopped wiping his hair, "then there will be number three behind?" He didn't wait for Tang Shunshi to answer, and then said: "It shouldn't be me."

Tang Shunshi snorted: "There is no chance for the number three."

No. 3 was covered so badly that God couldn't move it.

"No number three?" Li Zhiqing was a little dazed, then it has nothing to do with him?

Tang Shunshi nodded.

"Wait a minute," Li Zhiqing gestured at him, "Listen to what you mean, Chen Yipei is changing his life with the dead, why? He can't get any benefits, and the dead can't come back to life."

Tang Shunshi put the towel on his head again, and said: "Have you heard of'raising ghosts'?"
