This star’s style is wrong

Tuesday night.

Fang Xing and Lu Xiang'er made an appointment to watch the premiere of "The Beginning" together in the evening.

This is the first time that the two have appeared in a TV series with male and female protagonists, which has a special meaning.

Moreover, the broadcast data of this drama will affect the fate of the Lu family.

Although Lu Xiang'er has handed over the 30 million advance payment to his father, Lu's father is a cautious person.

According to the agreement, if the broadcast performance of "The Beginning" does not meet expectations, the 30 million advance payment will need to be returned.

Therefore, Lu's father did not use the advance payment, even though Dachuan Audio's financial problems had reached collapse.

Therefore, Lu Xiang'er was both happy and nervous when "The Beginning" was broadcast.

At 7:30 in the evening, Lu Xiang'er was nestled on the sofa, waiting for "The Beginning" to go online, while reading various comments on the Internet on her mobile phone.

There are all kinds of opinions on the Internet, some are optimistic about "The Beginning", and some are criticizing it.

Among the various remarks, there was one that concerned Lu Xiang'er the most.

Many fans of "Pillow" posted all kinds of evidence to prove that "The Beginning" was a bad movie that Fang Xing spent money to coax her to finish.

A few days ago, Lu Xiang'er secretly used a trumpet account to argue with these netizens online, but was criticized for being autistic.

Lu Xiang'er was very dissatisfied. Although Lin Yingxue was cast in "The Beginning" at the beginning, she was cast aside.

Moreover, the performance of this drama will directly determine the future situation of her family.

If there is anyone in the world who hopes this show will be good the most, it must be her.

Lu Xiang'er was busy scrolling through her phone. When she saw comments praising "The Beginning" on Weibo, she actively liked them. When she saw negative comments, she quickly swiped them away.

Fang Xing came out of the piano room and saw Lu Xiang'er fuming on her cell phone. He asked with a smile, "Are you online with netizens again?"

"No."

Lu Xiang'er replied angrily, then held up her phone and said, "Look at how many of these people are going too far. Even if they say my acting skills are poor, they also say I'm willful and that we can't go far."

Fang Xing walked over, lay on the back of the sofa, reached out to lift her chin, and asked with a smile, "Aren't you willful?"

Lu Xiang'er suddenly widened her beautiful eyes and asked angrily: "How could I be willful?"

Fang Xing smiled and looked seriously, and said seriously: "Everything is willful."

"Nonsense!" Lu Xiang'er continued to groan angrily.

Fang Xing picked up the remote control and turned on the TV: "Ahem, it's about to start broadcasting."

"Then sit down quickly. This is the first TV series we are starring in. We need to be more formal when watching it." Lu Xiang'er still wanted to have a sense of ceremony and patted the seat next to her with her hand.

…

Due to the promotion of "Pillow Crime" and "The Beginning" on major online platforms, and the promotion was in an arena style, the two dramas became popular before they were aired.

Many viewers are waiting for the two dramas to be released online, and many netizens are still discussing which one to watch first.

[It’s over, I have difficulty choosing, and it’s in an advanced stage. I want to watch both, which one should I watch first? 】

[Only children make choices, of course they want them all. Play "Pillow" on the computer and watch "The Beginning" on the mobile phone. Whichever one sucks, just cut it. 】

[Let’s watch "Pillow" first. The cast and director of "Pillow" look more reliable. "The Beginning" turned out to be written, directed and acted by Fang Xing, a singer. How can he watch it? 】

【Fuck! It was so dark upstairs that for a moment I couldn't tell whether I was a Lezi person or a rival NC fan. 】

in the anticipation of countless audiences.

The time finally came to eight o'clock in the evening.

Seven video platforms, including Penguin Video, Xiangguo Video, and Wandou Video, launched "Pillow Sin" at the same time, and it was recommended on all homepages.

For a promotion like this, anyone who is a drama star will click in to take a look.

On the other hand, "The Beginning" is only broadcast on one website, Penguin Video.

In comparison, "Pillow Sin" started with much stronger momentum.

Moreover, even the title of "Pillow Sin" has a strong hint, which makes the audience thirsty and want to see if it is really so sexy.

The title of "The Beginning" is relatively ordinary. Just by looking at the title, you have no idea what it is about.

Two dramas are launched.

Since "Pillow Sin" is a multi-platform simulcast, its launch has been even more popular.

Many viewers clicked on "Pillow Sin" and started watching the first episode.

At the beginning of the first episode, when the cast list was displayed, it went directly to a bathroom scene.

Feng Heyu was taking a shower in the bathroom, with shots of his back and chest, and the water flowing down his head, which immediately attracted the attention of many female viewers.

However, some viewers expressed disgust.

In recent years, film and television dramas have begun to engage in this kind of marginal content, and they also claim to be the era of male sex.

If you film an actress taking a shower, it won't pass the review at all, but if you film a male actor taking a shower, it's completely different.

Moreover, in the dramas with two male protagonists in the past two years, the male protagonist basically has to show his upper body to show some flesh and capture the attention of some viewers.

This kind of plot is almost worn out, but some audiences like it, so it works repeatedly.

After Feng Heyu took a shower, his cell phone rang. Feng Heyu answered the phone and told him that a case had occurred. As a criminal police officer, Feng Heyu sent the police urgently.

Judging from the opening scene, it looks like the beginning of a very ordinary crime drama, with the addition of a bit of male protagonist selling meat and harvesting female fans.

Immediately afterwards.

The screen jumps to the alarm scene.

It was Lin Yingxue who called the police. With a haggard face, Lin Yingxue told Anqing that her boyfriend wanted to kill her, and even showed the police the wounds on her arms.

Feng Heyu observed the house, looking for clues.

On the TV cabinet, there is a photo frame, but it is covered.

Feng Heyu straightened the photo frame and saw a photo of a couple. The woman was Lin Yingxue, and the man was Xiao Lunsheng.

At this moment.

Feng Heyu's expression suddenly froze as he stared at the photo, and then the scene turned to memories, explaining the relationship between Feng Heyu and Xiao Lunsheng.

Feng Heyu and Xiao Lunsheng were once best friends and were admitted to the same university together. However, Xiao Lunsheng made a mistake and dropped out when he was about to graduate, and the two have never seen each other again.

The plot starts from here, Feng Heyu embarks on the road of finding, capturing and saving Xiao Lunsheng.

In the flashback scenes, the relationship between Feng Heyu and Xiao Lunsheng was deliberately exaggerated, and there was even a scene of them taking a shower together in a bathhouse.

At this point in the drama, the popularity on Weibo exploded.

Fans of Feng Heyu and Xiao Lunsheng are frantically posting the name of this drama on major online platforms.

The barrage was full of crazy barrages from fans of both companies, and a new idiom was also created:

【Unparalleled! 】

【Unparalleled! 】

…

Fans' crazy comments directly covered the video screen.

As long as ordinary viewers open the barrage, they will see nothing but this four-character idiom.

The fans' madness aroused disgust among many ordinary viewers.

Because when you see this idiom, you know that "Yu" in it refers to Feng Heyu, and "Lun" refers to Xiao Lunsheng.

Many viewers began to post angry comments:

[Can you guys, you guys, ruin a few less idioms? 】

[The plot of this drama's service and transformation is passable so far, so what kind of meat is it selling? 】

[Turn off the barrage to ensure safety. 】

[Although there are no major problems with the plot for the time being, the fans have affected the drama viewing experience too much. I'll take a look at "The Beginning" first. If it's worse there, I'll have to come back and turn off the barrage. 】

…

at the same time.

"The Beginning" starts airing at the same time.

At the beginning, there is no male protagonist taking a shower, and there is no meat-selling scene.

The opening shot shows a bird's-eye view of urban traffic, urbanized roads, and the magnificent cross-river bridge. The scenery is very beautiful.

Then, a bus appeared on the road.

The 45 lens gives a close-up of the front of the bus, and the electronic screen above displays "No. 45 Special Line".

Immediately afterwards, another black car appeared.

There was a father and son in the car. The son was cute, a little naughty, but very lovable.

The bus and car stopped at the traffic light intersection.

While waiting at the red light, the father in the car was coaxing his son.

The picture is very warm.

At this moment, the plot suddenly changed. There was a loud "boom" and the bus exploded. The flames of the explosion engulfed the car, as well as the father and children on the bus.

When the audience saw this, they were immediately confused.

The originally cozy father and son were suddenly engulfed in the flames of the explosion.

The sudden explosion formed a sharp contrast with the warm scene just a second ago.

The plot is a bit abrupt, but this abruptness successfully aroused the audience's curiosity.

All the viewers had the same question in their minds, that is, why did the bus explode?

There was no explanation before.

Since there were too many questions at the beginning, the audience was watching the show seriously and had no intention of posting comments, which was in sharp contrast to the crazy comments of "Pillow Sin".

After the bus exploded, the scene changed and entered the official plot of the first episode.

Xiao Heyun, played by Fang Xing, and Li Shiqing, played by Lu Xiang'er, woke up on the bus.

After waking up with palpitations, Lu Xiang'er grabbed Fang Xing's hand, yelled and accused Fang Xing of being a hooligan.

After a big fuss, Lu Xiang'er finally forced the driver to stop halfway.

She took advantage of the situation and pulled Fang Xing out of the car.

Xiao Heyun, played by Fang Xing, was very angry when he was pulled out of the car.

Because he is a game architect, has produced a game, and is negotiating cooperation with a large company. He takes the bus to go across the river to meet the boss of the game company.

Now he was pulled out of the car by Li Shiqing, played by Lu Xiang'er, causing him to be late, so he was naturally very unhappy.

After getting off the car.

Fang Xing scolded Lu Xiang'er, then took a taxi and rushed to the other side of the river for the appointment.

However, after the taxi got on the bridge, the bus exploded again, and the flames of the explosion engulfed the taxi Fang Xing was riding in.

Li Shiqing, played by Lu Xiang'er, was also hit by an electric car, hit her head, and fell into a coma in the hospital.

In the hospital, Lu Xiang'er saw the wounded brought from the explosion site, and one of them turned out to be Fang Xing, who was burned all over his body.

The scene of the burns was simply shocking.

Later, the police came to interrogate Li Shiqing, and many clues were hidden during the interrogation.

Li Shiqing talked about the "time loop" for the first time.

Seeing this, the audience finally understood that this drama is a time loop drama.

This is not the first time that similar film and television dramas have appeared.

Therefore, the audience has a psychological expectation for this type of drama.

This kind of film and television drama about cycles will be very attractive if it is well shot, logically logical, and can create suspense.

But if the logic is confusing and the plot is nonsense, it will be very bad.

So far, the plots shown in "The Beginning" are very attractive.

Unexplained explosions, time loops, countless questions.

Viewers who have watched the first episode cannot help but click on the second episode.

Therefore, Penguin Video backend data shows that the jump rate from the first episode to the second episode of "The Beginning" is very high, and it is ridiculously high.

After the first episode was aired, the barrage began to increase.

[Originally I just wanted to take a look and see if it was really as bad as what was posted online, but I couldn’t stop. 】

[The meat seller next door makes me feel a little nauseous. I came over to take a look. I was originally planning to get out immediately if it didn’t look good. But I didn’t expect that the plot was okay and the suspense was quite high. 】

[Originally I just wanted to give it one playback, but the first episode ended here. This is forcing me to give it another playback. 】

【nice! The suspense is high, and the heroine is so beautiful. Fang Xing’s stupid hands are so irritating! 】

[I originally played "Pillow" on my computer and watched "The Beginning" on my mobile phone. Now I announced that "The Beginning" has become a full-length show. I will fork "Pillow" and watch "The Beginning" on my computer. 】

…

At ten o'clock in the evening, "Pillow Sin" starts for two hours.

The official Weibo of Red Film and Television announced the launch data of "Pillow Sin" online.

["Pillow Sin" has been on air for two hours and has been viewed more than 50 million times. There is no doubt that the number of views in a single day will exceed 100 million. 】

Ark Culture and Penguin Video did not promote the playback data of "The Beginning" with great fanfare.

However, there is a third-party self-media that wants to compare the data of the two dramas, so it released the broadcast data of "The Beginning".

["Pillow" has 50 million views in two hours, and "The Beginning" has 20 million views in two hours. "The Beginning" lost to "Pillow", which is a foregone conclusion. 】

The two-hour broadcast time is only enough for the audience to watch more than two episodes.

If you don’t watch it for the first time, you’ll basically only be able to watch two episodes.

The first two episodes of both dramas are free, so at 10 o'clock in the evening, there is basically only enough audience to watch the two free episodes. As for the subsequent VIP member playback data, it has not yet been reflected.

Moreover, there are also some sharp-eyed viewers who discovered some key points.

["Pillow" is broadcast on seven or eight platforms, and "The Beginning" is broadcast exclusively on one platform. The number of views on the entire network is compared with the number of views on a single platform. You are really good at fighting in this arena. 】

[Considering the popularity of Feng Heyu and Xiao Lunsheng, 50 million is considered normal at launch. Let’s see if the back can be stable. The playback volume of "The Beginning" is not bad. After all, there are fans of "Wulin Gaiden", so the launch data will not be too bad. Who will win in the end of the two dramas will have to be watched the next day. 】

In addition to the audience, there is another person who is also paying attention to the broadcast data of the two dramas.

This person is Li Xueying, Vice President of Penguin Video.

This time, the early promotion resources for "The Beginning" were given by her.

If "The Beginning" fails, she will definitely be embarrassed at the company's regular meeting.

Although no one can avoid making mistakes, no one wants to be slapped in the face.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Li Xueying asked her assistant to bring over the backstage data of the two dramas: "How are the results?"

"The jump rate of the first and second episodes of "The Beginning" is very high, exceeding 90%, breaking this year's record. The VIP conversion rate is also very high, but the total playback volume is similar to the total playback volume of "Pillow" on the entire network It's a little lower than..." The assistant didn't finish what he said.

Li Xueying knew what she wanted to say, because the first two episodes of "The Beginning" are free, and members can watch two more episodes.

After all, "The Beginning" only has 15 episodes. If it is updated too quickly, it will be finished in a few days, so members can only watch two more episodes.

"Pillow Sin" has 36 episodes, so the first two episodes are free, and members can watch six more episodes.

This means that "The Beginning" aired four episodes on the first day, while "Pillow Crime" aired eight episodes.

"The Beginning" has played four episodes, which is almost the same as "Pillow Crime"'s eight episodes.

The results are already clear.
