Chapter 120 0119: Equally Matched?
Jiang Yong rarely has the opportunity to talk to his son about the company and the entertainment industry, and tonight is the perfect time for that.
Jiang Ge changed roles and commented from the perspective of a screenwriter: "In terms of the plot, the first episode is OK, it can get 85 points, but the second episode is not good, it didn't even pass the passing line. The main problem is that the emotional line was introduced too early. The male protagonist is a rookie, so the special police team line should be introduced first, and then the emotional line should be inserted bit by bit in a circular and gradual manner."
It's like going to eat spicy hot pot, the first dish served is tripe, I ate it very happily, and then the second dish was a durian, how can you let me continue to eat?
Jiang Yong nodded in affirmation, thinking that what his son said was very pertinent, and continued to ask: "What do you think of traffic stars like Xu Chenyi and Guan Yansi?"
"No opinion." Jiang Ge shrugged his shoulders and said lightly: "Back then, Guo Xiaosi, who opened the traffic era, used the "Golden Age" series that made a lot of money to give the market and traffic stars many fantasies, as if they had found a shortcut to the end, but they did not realize that without a foundation, a gorgeous building will collapse in an instant."
As he said, he smiled and said: "The traffic era is still going on, but the traffic era has long passed."
Jiang Yong was puzzled and said: "Isn't your statement self-contradictory?"
Jiang Ge explained: "Now, we are stepping In the era of traffic 2.0, only traffic stars without works, strength and effort are abandoned, not traffic itself. The era of quietly being a handsome man or a beautiful girl to make money is over. "
Jiang Yong was silent for a while, and then said: "They have a huge fan base. Even if the market is turbulent, can't they go the way of 'fan economy'?"
Jiang Ge shook his head and said: "Maybe in the short term, because the fans' initial sensibility is slowly receding, rationality is gradually returning, and they are tired of the vases with beautiful appearance. The aesthetic demand begins to transition from the skins that come one after another to the souls that are picked out of thousands, and gradually seeks attitudes in idols. Obviously, it needs much more than that. "
Jiang Yong thought thoughtfully.
Jiang Ge continued, "They seem to have a choice, but in fact they have no choice. The contradiction is that the public has a memory like a goldfish. A big hit is often just a flash in the pan. There are endless new traffic stars and talent shows. If you don't seize the opportunity to leave more traces, the popularity you have accumulated with great difficulty will be difficult to cash out once it expires. In the era of traffic 2.0, what is tested is not only the determination, strength, and endurance of traffic stars, but also time and luck."
Jiang Yong began to be shocked.
Jiang Ge finally made a summary: "In short, this is a huge challenge that Xu Chenyi, Guan Yansi and even the entire traffic star industry must face. "Growing up" is the "difficulty" of self-improvement, and "lying flat" is the inevitable ending of being forgotten. Fortunately, the awakening of the audience has forced the capital to no longer have shortcuts. The entertainment market will eventually move towards the road of strength being king."
Jiang Yong couldn't help but look at his son differently, thinking: He actually has such a deep understanding and unique foresight in the entertainment industry.
Perhaps, the failure of both word-of-mouth and ratings of "Blade" will become a landmark event.
The investors who used traffic stars as a guarantee could never have imagined that Xu Chenyi, who easily set a Guinness record of Weibo super topic popularity exceeding 10 billion through traffic, would end up with such a result in his first TV series.
Jiang Yong clenched his fist tightly, then loosened it, and said self-deprecatingly: "You are right, there is no ship in the new era that can carry a remnant of the old era like me."
Jiang Ge hurriedly said: "Don't forget, I am just helping you manage the company."
Jiang Yong tilted his head and looked at his wife beside him, then laughed and said: "I know, your dream is to be a 'rich second generation who doesn't work but spends money'."
Jiang Ge touched his nose awkwardly.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with asking Xu Chenyi to play "Blade". The mistake is that he did not make the effort he should for his role.
I remember that before the filming of "I'm a Special Forces Soldier", in order to better grasp the image and temperament of a soldier, Wu Jing first participated in military training in the Hero Company of the Yanjing Military Region for 20 days, and then transferred to the Special Forces of the Jinling Military Region, where he stayed for a total of 8 months.
He once said, "If you want to play a soldier, it's better to be a soldier yourself, so it's best to go deep into the army and serve as a soldier first." He participated in various routine training in the army, including common rock climbing and shooting, carrying 25 kilograms when climbing, and trying to run with 65 kilograms of logs on his back, etc. Training, digging trenches is even more of a piece of cake.
This is also one of the reasons why this drama is so good.
An actor's preparation for entering the role is inseparable from reading the script carefully, understanding the history of the role he plays, understanding the relationship with each role related to him, understanding the motivation of his behavior in the story, and adjusting his appearance as close to the role as possible, including weight, gait, and language characteristics. These are the most basic.
Just relying on a good-looking face? I guess only fans of appearance will buy it.
——————
On the seventh day of the first lunar month, the national network prime time:
1. CCTV-8, Golden Theater "Blade" episodes 1 and 2, 4.95%.
2. Dragon TV, Dream Theater "Day and Night Chase" episodes 1 and 2, 4.05%.
3. Mango TV, Golden Eagle Exclusive Theater "Love Family 1987" episodes 6 and 7, 1.44%.
4. Blueberry TV, Huaguo Blue Theater "New Water Margin" episodes 11 and 12, 1.02%.
5, Lizhi TV, Happiness Theater "Legend of the Immortal Moon" Episodes 33 and 34, 0.79%.
…
"Blade" leads the ratings chart. Although this data has not exceeded 5.0%, it is also very good. It has refreshed the first-day ratings record of TV series during the Spring Festival, and is 0.90% higher than the second "Day and Night Chase".
In the competition for ratings, it seems to be evenly matched. However, in terms of ratings, Douban gave the two dramas a score of 7.5 for "Blade" and 9.5 for "Day and Night Chase".
Yes.
You read it right.
The score of "Day and Night Chase" is 2.0 points higher than that of "Blade"! Moreover, it has become the TV series with the highest opening score for domestic police and gangster dramas.
"A police drama disguised as a romance drama, the plot is disorganized, and Xu Chenyi's acting is terrible."
"It's just to attract attention. Police drama: please don't pretend to be familiar, thank you."
"It's a love story, but they insist on pairing it with a SWAT team. I don't know what they were thinking."
"The foundation is so thick, it's too white, it doesn't look like a SWAT team at all!"
"I suggest changing the name to 'Blade of Sweet Lover', which is more in line with the drama."
"..."
...
The audience was very disappointed with "Blade", and most of the reviews were negative.
"What's wrong with white spots? White spots are healthy."
"This is a TV series, not reality. Of course, you have to be clean and tidy on camera."
"I think it's good. Is there any rule that says SWAT members can't fall in love?"
"It's only two episodes, the plot hasn't unfolded yet, can you stop criticizing?"
"What right do you have to say that about our Yi Yi? Do you know how hard our Yi Yi works?"
"..."
...
Seeing that the situation was not right, fans began to stand up for their idols.
At this time
An interesting situation has emerged. On one hand, there are low objective scores from passers-by, and on the other hand, there are high subjective scores from fans, which makes the score of "Blade" high and low, increasing and decreasing.
On the other hand.
