Chapter 246: Rumors that Fans Don’t Believe
Xiao Zhao's resentment lasted until the next morning, when it disappeared. To be more precise, it was diluted by joy.
The reason was that the ratings of the first broadcast of "My Fair Princess" came out.
Jiangsu Satellite TV, the average rating of the first broadcast was 2.04, and the market share... ranked first in the same period.
Shanghai Satellite TV, the average rating of the first broadcast was 1.88, and the market share... ranked second in the same period.
Hunan Satellite TV, the average rating of "New My Fair Princess" on the same day was 1.72, and the market share... ranked third in the same period.
For "New My Fair Princess", which has been broadcast for nearly a week, "My Fair Princess" made a ruthless move and topped the list.
"New My Fair Princess" is backed by the national big IP and is also a high-quality platform of Hunan Satellite TV. The first broadcast easily broke 2.
According to normal logic, if the first broadcast breaks 2, as long as the subsequent plot is stable, it is not difficult to break 2 for the average rating. The fear is that it cannot be stable, so it will produce a peak at the beginning.
This is the case with "New My Fair Princess". The first broadcast data was good, and the second day was also OK, but on the third day, the word of mouth began to ferment, and it was a mess, and the ratings began to decline continuously.
There are many reasons for the poor reputation of this drama. The first is that the plot is childish and very shocking.
In fact, the original "My Fair Princess" has many plot flaws.
But the key was that it was the end of the last century, and the audience had not experienced the Internet bombardment, and did not think that some of the plots were wrong.
But now it is different. The Internet has made many viewers, especially young viewers, have a sharp rise in their aesthetics. They are much more picky about film and television dramas.
Even the "My Fair Princess" of that year has been rated as a thunder drama by many people, and all kinds of spoofs, not to mention the "New My Fair Princess" whose plot quality is far inferior.
Those Qiong Yao-style lines that were true love first and moved people to tears back then, now the audience only feels corny and hypocritical and even a little disgusting.
In addition, in addition to Qiong Yao's classic corny and hypocritical lines, this version of the lines is also explicit and borderline.
For example, there are many lines like "If you are full, I will overflow", so it is also nicknamed "Huangzhu Gege".
However, the most criticized ones are still the actors. I don't know whether it is because of the poor acting skills of the actors themselves or the director's requirements. The performance is exaggerated and artificial. The quirky Xiaoyanzi is played as a madman, and the dignified and delicate Ziwei is a wooden man, crying and annoying.
In addition to the performance, many people are not satisfied with the image. Xiaoyanzi is old, Ziwei is ugly, and Jinsuo is fat.
In the original time and space, Xiao Zhao played Qing'er, which is considered to have a good reputation among the female protagonists. Now she is not in the show, and Qing'er's performance is mediocre and has no sense of existence.
It can be said that after the broadcast of the entire "New My Fair Princess", the biggest gain for people is that the casting of that year was really amazing.
The main actors at that time suddenly gained a lot of popularity. How badly "New My Fair Princess" was criticized, and how fiercely those actors were praised. I guess they still have to thank Qiong Yao in their hearts.
"New My Fair Princess" has a bad reputation and poor performance. Except for Li Jiahang, everyone else in Blue Whale is very happy.
This means that the biggest opponent of "Come on, Mr. Shan" in the summer has lost his skills.
Having been in the entertainment industry for so long, Wei Yang has also had a few rounds of this kind of ratings war, so he is quite experienced.
In the fake ratings war, the two sides are evenly matched, chasing each other, trying their best to do their best, and heroes appreciate each other.
In the real ratings war, do your best, wait for the other party's reputation to explode, and then madly pull and step on it, and beat the fallen dog.
Of course, the so-called false reality is just a joke, but the first situation is indeed rare, and the second situation is often encountered.
So sometimes the key to success is not how good you are, but how bad your opponent is.
Blue Whale was ready to add insult to injury, but Li Jiahang still felt a little reluctant.
Don't get me wrong, as a supporting role, he doesn't have such deep feelings for "New My Fair Princess", mainly because he feels sorry for Li Sheng.
Wei Yang was speechless: "This is just right. She is in a difficult situation now. She is confused and helpless and needs care and comfort. If you pay more attention to her now, she will definitely be touched. Do I need to teach her?"
Li Jiahang hesitated: "This... is it a bit of taking advantage of someone's misfortune?"
"Then you don't go. Maybe some male actor from the same company will..."
"I'll go, I'll go right away."
Li Jiahang jumped up and down. Wei Yang looked at him and all the press releases were mainly aimed at "New My Fair Princess" itself, without attacking the actors.
However, the iron must be hard to forge.
"New My Fair Princess" is so bad that even without the blue whale filling the soil, it will soon drown itself. Wei Yang is more concerned about whether "My Fair Princess" can maintain its subsequent reputation and performance.
…
In the dormitory of a university in Shanghai
Chen Meng and her roommate Chu Ru were bored and browsing the computer, clicking on the page of Penguin Video from time to time, waiting for the update of "My Fair Princess".
Strictly speaking, these two are not Wei Yang's die-hard fans. The reason why they are so looking forward to "My Sweetheart" is that everyone has their own preferences.
Chu Ru is a fan of the original author Gu Man and likes to read her novels. Although "My Sweetheart" is not her favorite work, she must support the film and television adaptation of the author's works.
Not to mention that the adaptation and actor is Wei Yang!
"Eastern Palace" made Wei Yang the face of the male protagonist in ancient costumes in the minds of countless female authors and readers.
No kidding, after the hit of "Eastern Palace", Jinjiang has published countless novels with princes and princes as the male protagonists in the past six months, all of which have more or less the shadow of Wei Yang and Li Chengyin. Even the copyists have been so tired that they can't catch up.
So this time Wei Yang made another move, adapting and participating in the female-oriented online novel "Shan Shan is Coming", which also attracted the attention of many female-oriented authors and readers.
Jinjiang Forum, which later became the famous Jinjiang Rabbit Zone, has been criticizing "New My Fair Princess" and discussing "Shan Shan is Coming" these two days.
Chen Meng's situation is a little more special. She is a very rare fan of Xiao Zhao.
Yes, Xiao Zhao also has fans.
After all, she has debuted for several years. Although most of them are minor roles, she has also played a few supporting roles. She is also a little flower in Blue Whale and participated in "Shan Shan is Coming", so there are still hundreds of thousands of Weibo fans.
Even if most of them are passers-by and spectators, there are still a few die-hard fans. The base camp is temporarily set as Tieba,
and the permanent population is less than a few hundred.
The reason why Chen Meng likes Xiao Zhao is very simple. She read an interview that introduced that she lived in the countryside when she was a child, was born in a talent show, and ran for several years. Bala blah blah.
At that time, Xiao Zhao had already participated in "Shan Shan is Coming", which can be said to be promising, so those experiences look more inspiring.
Chen Meng was approaching the college entrance examination at that time, and she felt that this sister was extraordinary. She had a bad hand, but she could still play it well, which inspired her to a certain extent.
She also sent a private message to Xiao Zhao on Weibo. It happened that Xiao Zhao didn't have many Weibo fans at that time. Seeing that she was a college entrance examination candidate, she encouraged her a few words.
The day before the college entrance examination, she also posted a Weibo, probably to bless and encourage the majority of high school students and college entrance examination fans to jump over the dragon gate and set sail.
This is not necessarily for Chen Meng, because all the artists of Blue Whale have posted it. After all, they are from idol dramas, and their fans are relatively young. There are indeed many college entrance examination candidates. Blessing and encouragement are also a kind of heart.
But Chen Meng may just happen to be one of the college entrance examination candidates, and she is deeply touched.
Later, the college entrance examination results were good, and Chen Meng also thought that Xiao Zhao's experience was more or less inspiring to herself, so she liked her more.
After entering college, she was very active on Tieba and Weibo, and she was a representative of Xiao Zhao's fans.
"Shan Shan Comes" is Xiao Zhao's first female lead drama and the best resource at present. Naturally, she would not miss it. She was even busy recommending and protecting the market last night.
In fact, she doesn't need to help promote the TV series. The number of fans of Blue Whale's publicity team and Wei Yang is not a joke.
Chen Meng mainly promotes Xiao Zhao. If someone praises Xue Shanshan for being cute and soft, she will go over to promote it. If there are doubts or negative reviews, she will go up to defend it.
"Mengmeng, come and see this."
Chu Ru was browsing the computer and pointed to a page of Douban group on the computer screen.
"Someone broke the news that the one in your family is Wei Yang's girlfriend, the boss lady of Blue Whale?"
"!??"
Chen Meng looked at the webpage. The whistleblower claimed to be a former employee of Blue Whale. He mainly targeted the internal information of Blue Whale. He didn't say much and mainly talked about several popular artists.
For example, Zhao Ji has a gentle personality and doesn't fight or compete. Wei Yang is generous, but the business and work requirements are very high. The internal work pressure of Blue Whale is high. Li Jiahang and Wei Yang have a very good personal relationship. Naza is very popular with the top management and is a bit silly.
Although Xiao Zhao's presence in the company is not high, her status is good. It is widely rumored by the old employees that she is Wei Yang's girlfriend.
It is said that Xiao Zhao followed Wei Yang before she became famous. Later, when Boss Wei became famous and worth over 100 million yuan, he did not abandon his wife, but started to spend money to support her.
"..."
Seeing that few people believed in the relationship in the comments, but a bunch of Wei Yang fans were cursing, Chen Meng sneered.
"Isn't this nonsense? How could Wei Yang have a relationship with Ying Jie?"
As a fan of Xiao Zhao, Chen Meng did not believe this rumor at all. After all, the people who were rumored to have affairs with Wei Yang were big stars like Fan Xiaopang and Liu Shishi.
As for Xiao Zhao, Chen Meng did not think she was worse than the others, but the gap with Wei Yang was indeed a bit big.
"This is because Ying Jie is going to be famous, and they are smearing + instigating. The intention is too sinister. I reported it."
Chen Meng was very indignant, and Chu Ru did not believe it either. If the two were real, it would be a real version of "Shan Shan Comes".
A cute girl from the countryside met a handsome and overbearing celebrity boss. As a result, the latter wanted her and asked her to be the boss's wife. He also filmed a movie for her. Do you really think that reality is all idol dramas?
If Zhao Liying could beat Fan Xiaopang, she would dare to dream that Fahrenheit would fight for her.
Well, it's mainly Wu Zun and Jiro Wang, forget about Aaron Yan...
This so-called revelation did not attract much attention at this moment. After all, even a die-hard fan of Zhao like Chen Meng didn't believe it, let alone others.
Wei Yang has been in the industry for so long, and among all the scandals with female protagonists, Zhao's influence is the lowest.
Zhao: "%&¥~?¥"
