Chapter 252: Surpassing Tangren and "Becoming Famous"

"My Lady, My Lady" has only 32 episodes, and two episodes a day is broadcast for a little over half a month, so the finale was broadcast in early August.

In the end, the average rating of "My Lady, My Lady" on Jiangsu Satellite TV was 2.61, and it is also the TV series with the highest ratings on Jiangsu Satellite TV this year.

The ratings of Shanghai Satellite TV are lower, but it is also firmly in the top two of the annual ratings with "Eastern Palace".

Putting aside CCTV, the ratings of TV series broadcast on satellite TV this year are firmly in the top three.

Unfortunately, this drama did not achieve the best results that many people expected.

The overall quality of "My Lady, My Lady" is not bad, and it can even be said to be very distinctive, but there are still some flaws.

First of all, the plot is a bit flat, mainly the daily life of the male and female protagonists and the sweetness. The male and female protagonists have no misunderstandings, and there are small conflicts, which are quickly resolved.

In this way, the style is relaxed and happy, and the male and female protagonists are also likable, but there are no conflicts, which makes some viewers feel boring.

It's okay in the early and middle stages. After all, the male and female protagonists are in love, pulling each other, and the audience smiles when there is a little progress.

But in the later period, the relationship between the two sides stabilized, and the progress was almost there. Even the childhood sweetheart of the male protagonist was conquered, and the male protagonist's ex-girlfriend was just a cannon fodder. In this case, the male and female protagonists couldn't stand it even if they gave sweets every day.

So the drama let the female protagonist start a business in the later period and introduce an independent growth line.

As for the effect, it can only be said to be mediocre, and the evaluation is much lower than the plot in the first and middle parts.

After all, this kind of plot can only satisfy some female audiences with independent personalities, who think the female protagonist is great and don't want to be a canary.

But most ordinary audiences are not too interested in this kind of plot. Not to mention male audiences, a considerable number of female audiences don't like to watch it.

At this stage, more female audiences in China still like to watch Cinderella and Prince Charming. It's not that there is no market for female independence, but it has not reached the mainstream level.

The overbearing CEO sweet pet drama, inserting this kind of plot, ten years later, the intention is elevated and the theme is sublimated, but now it is just mediocre, or even inappropriate.

But there is no way, the original novel has only dozens of chapters, basically daily life, and the screenwriter doesn't expand the branch line, how can it be filmed for 36 episodes.

The dullness of the later plot has led to a decline in the overall ratings to a certain extent.

According to the prediction of the previous data, Blue Whale is expecting that "My Love from the Star" can break 3, or even break 3, but it has only achieved 2.61 at present.

However, even if there is no miracle of ratings of "My Love from the Star" and "Eastern Palace", this data has satisfied almost everyone.

Needless to say, Shanghai TV has also cooperated with two works in succession, and both have benefited a lot and have more trust in Wei Yang.

Before "My Love from the Star" was broadcast, they began to focus on other projects of Blue Whale.

Not to mention "Celebrating Yu Nian" which has been scrambled for a long time.

Jiangsu Satellite TV has tasted the sweetness of "My Love from the Star" and "My Love from the Star", two popular idol dramas, so it has set its sights on "Diamond Lover".

Shanghai Satellite TV also set its sights on "Diamond Lover", but is also very interested in "Chef Fang in the Flower Room" starring the popular Zhao Xiao.

As for "Soul Ferry", they also asked, but the subject matter is too sensitive, and they are currently considering and negotiating.

It's not just these two TV stations. Other TV stations also want to take advantage of the popularity of "Shan Shan Comes".

It's okay for a few first-tier TV stations that cooperated, and several second- and third-tier TV stations seem to have figured out the situation and directly gave the condition of paying the full amount in one lump sum.

If they can guarantee that the money will be paid neatly, they will be able to threaten the first-tier TV stations in terms of price and influence.

Since Zhao Xiao is now very popular, "Chef Fang in Flowers" is also the most favored by various TV stations.

"Diamond Lover" is also eyed by many, but Wei Yang thinks that its male lead is Qiao Zhenyu, so they can wait until "Startling by Each Step" is broadcast before discussing it.

So the main discussion now is "Chef Fang in Flowers".

Zhao Xiao is very popular, Lin Gengxin is not bad, and it is also a web drama adapted by Wei Yang as the chief screenwriter, carrying the sign of Blue Whale, and the general price cannot meet it.

"Come on, Shan Shan" costs 2.2 million per episode, but the main character is Wei Yang, and the cost expenditure is limited.

Although "Chef Fang in the Flower House" is a costume drama, the cost is actually not much. Even if the market is booming and the price of TV dramas is rising, it is impossible to rise too much.

Blue Whale's psychological price is more than 1.5 million per episode. After all, Zhao is popular, and the Blue Whale brand is not a joke.

At present, Blue Whale has not messed up. People in the industry joke that the Blue Whale or Wei Yang's brand alone is worth 10 to 20 million.

The highest bid at the moment is the joint efforts of four satellite TV stations including Shanghai TV and Shandong and Liaoning TV, all of which are 1.7 million per episode. The TV series has 36 episodes, which is just over 60 million.

Wei Yang is quite satisfied with this price, after all, there are other benefits.

Even so, the first round of broadcast rights of a drama starring two "newcomers" can be sold for more than 60 million. Only Wei Yang in the industry can have this ability.

On the one hand, it is to continue to promote the brand and subsequent project sales. Another benefit of "Come on, Mr. Shan" is that it has made Zhao Liying famous again.

This newly-launched "Wei Girl" has become the hottest new star in just half a month, with her Weibo fans soaring to over 3 million.

Compared with her, the new Xiaoyanzi and the new Ziwei that Qiong Yao spent a lot of money to promote are eclipsed, and their popularity and influence are far inferior to Zhao Liying.

Before, Qiong Yao was the TV producer who was best at promoting female stars in the industry. In the early years, Lin Qingxia, Chen Hong, Liu Xuehua, Chen Derong, Jiang Qinqin, Zhao, Ruby Lin, Fan Xiaopang and others all became famous as Qiong Yao girls.

In recent years, Qiong Yao's influence has not been as good as before, but Huang Yi, Ma Yili, Qin Lan, Zhang Jiani and others have also made rapid career progress since the beginning of Qiong Yao dramas.

However, in this battle of [Wei Girl VS Qiong Yao Girl], the latter, with the national IP, was still defeated by Wei Yang.

Xiao Zhao became famous in one battle, and Wei Girl also shined brightly, and her momentum even overshadowed the Star Girl who had few works in recent years, and caught up with Mou Girl.

Unfortunately, Mou Girl has two super actresses, Zhang and Gong Li, sitting in the seat. From the perspective of gold content alone, it is difficult for Wei Girl to catch up.

However, Wei Yang doesn't care whose girl is better. Xiao Zhao's popularity also means that Blue Whale has one more card.

At present, Blue Whale has Zhao Ji, Na Zha and Xiao Zhao as its popular young actresses. The resources of Rouba are also not weak. Among the male artists, Lin Gengxin, Qiao Zhenyu and Li Jiahang are also developing well.

The artist management business will no longer be a blood-sucking burden for Blue Whale, but can make money for the company.

At the same time, Blue Whale, which has a large number of representative works and popular artists, has a stronger momentum and has surpassed Tangren to become the most influential film and television entertainment company in the Magic City.

This will not change even if "Startling by Each Step" is broadcast.

After all, Blue Whale's hard power and hard results are here. In addition, don't forget that "Startling by Each Step" is strictly a joint production of Blue Whale and Tangren.

Cai Yinong has already convinced!

It's impossible not to be unconvinced. It took her more than ten years to get Tangren to this point, and Wei Yang only took three years to surpass her.

She even doesn't regret why she didn't spend a lot of money to bring Wei Yang to Tangren.

Because she has realized that this latent dragon in Tangren cannot be tied. I am afraid Wei Yang has never thought about joining Tangren from the beginning to the end. Even if he thought about it, it is probably just a stepping stone.

The relationship between Blue Whale and Tangren has changed from the initial obsession to equal cooperation, to the current situation where Blue Whale has taken the lead in cooperation.

These changes have made Tangren feel complicated, but they have to adapt. At the same time, Liu Shishi's status in Tangren has become more transcendent.

Now Tangren has a complicated attitude towards Liu Shishi and cannot abandon her. Let's not talk about Wei Yang first. She is one of the pillars of Tangren.

But if they continue to invest resources desperately, even if Liu Shishi stays until the contract expires before leaving, it will be a big loss for Tangren.

So, after seeing the flourishing of Blue Whale artists, Tangren also made a decision.

Support newcomers!

And not only Liu Shishi's candidate for the top sister is supported, but Hu Ge's candidate for the top brother is also being planned. If the two leave, there will be newcomers to replace them.

In fact, the candidate for the top actress of Tangren has already been selected, and it is Jiang Jinfu, who graduated from the class of 2008 of Shanghai Theatre Academy.

The "Xuan-Yuan Sword: Scar of Sky" which is being prepared and about to start filming has already decided that Jiang will play the male lead, and Hu Ge will play the supporting role.

There is no suitable first actress for the time being. Lao Cai picked a new student from Shanghai Theatre Academy and Beijing Film Academy, and then stuffed him into the crew of "Xuan-Yuan Sword: Scar of Sky" to see the effect.

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but envy Wei Yang's Xinjiang beauty. The hardware conditions are too good. If she is given one, she won't have to worry about the first actress.

She had someone go around Xinjiang before to see if she could imitate it. It's not just Tangren. After the hairpin became popular, many entertainment companies and agents went to Xinjiang to select people.

But unfortunately, most of them didn't find a suitable one. A few signed a few back, but the training resources and strength are two different things compared to Blue Whale.

Wei Yang didn't care about Tangren's desire to cultivate a new top actress. After "Startling by Each Step", Tangren will most likely not pose a threat to Blue Whale again.

Liu Shishi's future is definitely not in Tangren. She will most likely set up an independent studio or company and cooperate with Blue Whale or Wei Yang's new agency.

Overtaking Tangren is a shock to Tangren and even the companies in Shanghai, but for Wei Yang, it's just a moment of happiness. Tangren, which has exhausted its potential, is not the real opponent in Wei Yang's mind.

Wei Yang doesn't have to worry about the subsequent second and third rounds of rebroadcasts of "Shan Shan Lai Le". "Joy of Life" is still in post-production, and the negotiations between all parties are still in the initial contact stage.

Wei Yang's energy focus began to shift from TV series to Blue Whale's first movie.

In early August, Blue Whale officially announced that its first movie "Famous" would be launched today.

Wei Yang served as director + screenwriter + starring, and the well-known director Ning Hao served as producer. It is rumored that the crew has already sent an invitation to Ge Da Ye, and the two sides are in a hot fight.
