Chapter 201 Xu Kong’s new drama failed? Kiwi fruit data surpasses


Chapter 201 Xu Kong’s new drama failed? Kiwi's data surpasses

"It's not a two-line narrative, but a three-line narrative?"

Yi Guo watched as the plot began to jump again.

We started filming the process of getting to know Wang Yang and Shen Mo, played by Xu Kong.

Judging from her years of experience watching suspense movies, it is almost certain that Wang Xiang's son Wang Yang and Shen Mo, who although she does not know the actor, is very beautiful and smart, are definitely the same ones who were involved in the previous incident. The key figure in the corpse case.

After a very smooth transition, time returned to twenty years later again.

Wang Xiang woke up from his dream, but the photo of his son Wang Yang was already hanging on the wall, and it was still in black and white.

The plots of the first two seasons of "The Long Season" switch back and forth between these three different time periods.

Although he dug holes in many plot points, the director did not feel like he wanted to advance the case quickly.

The narrative rhythm is still that unhurried and unhurried.

Almost a considerable amount of space is devoted to restoring the ordinary life of a northeastern town like Hualin in that era.

This kind of pace, let alone in a suspense drama with repeated climaxes, even in some other genre dramas, is a bit too slow.

"Xu Kong's drama, it seems, has no intention of pleasing the audience."

Yiguo couldn't help but speak after watching the first two seasons of the update.

For viewers who don't know the drama "The Long Season", it is absolutely impossible to imagine that its director is Xu Kong, who previously produced "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

The main two dramas are really very different in terms of style, genre, script, and even narrative method.

It's not like the work of the same director.

In addition, Yiguo can almost guess that after the show is aired, many viewers will not buy it.

First of all, the most important narrative rhythm is too slow.

Most viewers today simply don’t have that much patience.

The second is the three-line parallel mode. Although it is not too difficult for her to understand, there is definitely a viewing threshold.

Especially the first two episodes are both more than an hour long, which further tests the audience's patience.

Coupled with the multi-line narrative method, sometimes you can't even understand the plot if you get distracted.

But the slow pace of the narrative is not a bad thing in itself.

At least after Yi Guo watched the first two episodes, Xu Kong's new drama exceeded her original expectations.

The advantage of the slow pace is that it can fully shape the main characters in the play.

For example, the characters of Wang Xiang, Gong Biao, Ma Desheng, and even Xu Kong, who has only a small role, have been fully developed.

Especially the changes in the characters and personalities of the elderly trio twenty years ago and twenty years later can be described as huge.

Under the interpretation of several powerful actors, they have become very real and believable.

The most important thing is that although the pace is slow, as long as you calm down and watch it, you will not feel bored. The sense of life itself is very realistic and it is easy for people to get involved.

To be slightly more truthful, Xu Kong's new drama actually gave up most of its commercial elements compared to the original "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

The rhythm of the script and the multi-line narrative mode alone are enough to dissuade most viewers.

What's more, some people who are chasing the show for Xu Kong will probably have a hard time accepting it when they find that Xu Kong himself has so few roles.

The commercial performance of this drama must be impossible to compare with the summer hit "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

The facts were indeed almost as predicted by Yiguo.

The premiere data of "The Long Season" is quite gorgeous, even far surpassing the other two previous dramas of Potato and Kiwi.

The number of views on the first day directly exceeded 100 million, reaching a terrifying figure of 120 million.

Even in this aspect of data, it far exceeds the original fairy sword.

But this time, most of the audience was far less convinced than they were in "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

"The pace is too slow. I watched a whole episode, and most of it was about trivial matters in life. The more I watched, the more boring I became."

"I can't stand it. I can only say that the expectations brought about by Fairy Sword were too high. The theme of the new drama this time is completely different, and it is not a theme that catches my cold."

"Of course there is nothing to say about the acting skills of the two best actors, Guan Hua and Chen Shuang, but as a suspense drama, is the pace too slow? Although the plot of the corpse case gradually emerged, I still didn't feel too much tension. Sense.”

Among the related comments, almost all of them are talking about the slow pace of the plot.

Even though it took an entire episode to film the encounter between the male and female protagonists, the plot was not that slow and exaggerated.

This was destined to make it difficult for most of the audiences who watched Fairy Sword at that time to persist in pursuing it.

Especially those who followed the show for Xu Kong, only to find that Xu Kong's own roles and scenes were pitiful in just two or two episodes.

I felt even more discouraged.

But at the same time, the rating of this drama on Douban has directly reached a terrifying score of 9.0.

Two other suspense dramas that go far beyond Kiwi and Potatoes.

"The texture is so good, better than some movies, and the composition, lighting and colors are very particular."

"Three lines of narrative, exquisite transition design, and a very restored sense of the times. Although I have only watched two episodes, I can't find any shortcomings at all."

"Many people say that the pace is slow, but in fact it is not. It can only be said that everyone is used to the fast pace nowadays, and rushes to give the most exciting dramas. On the contrary, there are not many dramas that can patiently and slowly tell the story."< br>


What seems to be a very conflicting, even somewhat inconsistent situation happened on the show "The Long Season" almost at the same time.

That is, many people are saying that they can’t stand it, the pace is too slow, and so on.

If you asked him about the quality of this drama, it would be difficult to give a negative review.

Because whether it's the texture, acting, or even the slow-paced plot, there's actually nothing wrong with it.

The only thing is that the audience must have enough patience to watch it.

At the same time, on the other side, there were many spectators who were boasting crazily, from almost all angles.

Therefore, a score of 9 or more points is really surprising.

"The data from the premiere are good, but what about public opinion"

As the producer of "The Long Season", Ding Decong has almost completed his work even though the show has been officially aired.

But we definitely still have to care about the show’s performance after it starts airing.

"As I guessed at the beginning, it is still a matter of plot rhythm."

Zeng Xi also sighed helplessly.

In fact, the data from the first broadcast far exceeded his expectations.

Even being able to get a score of 9.0 or above is quite unexpected.

But he knows that it is no longer a matter of public opinion. He said that the pace is slow and there are many viewers who can't stand it.

In the period following the premiere, it is inevitable that the data of "The Long Season" will decline.

Of course, he didn't think it had much impact.

Because the plot at the end of this drama is far more exciting than the beginning.

In other words, the pace is so slow in the past, which is all to pave the way for the subsequent plot direction.

"But I'm curious, Director Xu won't be scolded this time, right?"

In fact, when Ding Decong saw the script, he had not thought about such a thing, but after the subsequent editing and production of the final film was completed, he had such an idea.

“It’s really hard to say”

When Zeng Xi heard such speculation, he couldn't help but echoed it.

The ending of Fairy Sword made many viewers feel depressed. There are almost no good endings for the characters in it.

As a director and screenwriter, Xu Kong became the only target for the entire audience to vent.

Strictly speaking, the ending of "The Long Season" this time is not as tragic as that of Fairy Sword. It can even be said that it is even a relatively happy ending in comparison.

It's just that as a viewer who has watched both dramas, "The Long Season" gave him more staying power after watching it.

That's not the feeling you get after a favorite character or character dies and is killed by the plot.

Because the time view of the show Fairy Sword is, after all, an almost completely fictional world.

But "The Long Season" is different. The background itself is rooted in reality. Although the characters in it are fictional, they have a feeling that they are familiar or that they actually exist.

As long as you immerse yourself a little bit, you will feel that the characters in it are too bitter.

It’s so painful that you even have the feeling that you don’t know how they survived.

Therefore, Zeng Xi is accustomed to watching ordinary dramas several times before they are officially aired in order to make a more objective judgment.

But after watching Xu Kong's drama once, he didn't even have the courage to watch it a second time in a short period of time.

"Has Director Xu had any bad experiences? Otherwise, why is he so good at writing such plots that target audiences?"

Ding Decong couldn't help but express his guess.

If it were normal Zeng Xi, he would probably have to reprimand the other person not to talk about his partner behind his back.

But now, he actually nodded in agreement without any rebuttal.

"But these should have nothing to do with us."

Zeng Xi suddenly felt relaxed.

After all, Penguin Video is just a platform.

No matter how impulsive the audience is, they should know that every injustice has its owner.

After the last episode of Fairy Sword was aired, Penguin Video was not affected in any way.

Sure enough, as many people predicted, the premiere data of "The Long Season" was very eye-catching.

However, the playback volume on the next day declined instead of rising, and the single-day playback volume was only about 100 million.

Although it is still higher than Tudou's "Mountain Murder Case", it was directly overtaken by "Evil Spirit" broadcast one day earlier by Kiwi.

As for popularity, "The Long Season" is gradually being suppressed by the remaining two dramas.

The rating increased by 0.1 to 9.2, but the decline in data is real.

"I told you, I'm just Xu Kong, there's nothing to be afraid of!"

Penguin Video, at this time, became the first in the same period for the single-day views of "Evil Spirit" for the first time. The most important thing is that it surpassed Xu Kong's "The Long Season".

Qin Xian can be said to be in high spirits at this moment.

Although the reputation of "Evil Spirit" was average, the data far exceeded his previous expectations.

With the current situation, if everything goes well, their team, Kiwi, may become the final winner in the online drama market at the end of this year.

At this time, Huang Qifeng did not dare to speak.

There is a feeling of wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh out loud.

The main reason is that Qin Xian almost had a psychological shadow on Xu Kong before.

Now that the results of their new drama "Kiwi" have improved, Qin Xian has returned to his old self.

"Mr. Qin, although the data of "The Long Season" has declined, its reputation is very high."

Huang Qifeng felt that he still needed to give a few reminders.

But it was obvious that Qin Xian couldn't listen at all at this time.

“Word of mouth is useless!”

“Play volume and data are the key!”

Huang Qifeng couldn't say anything more for a while.

Although he wanted to say that with the current reputation of "The Long Season", it is difficult to say that the data will not be affected in the future.

After all, situations like this are not uncommon. Word-of-mouth gets out of the circle and feeds back the data and popularity of the drama.

And it is especially common in suspense dramas.

"The Long Season" will definitely not be able to air for too long due to the length of its episodes.

Although it is the last one to start broadcasting on the last three platforms, judging from the broadcast schedule, it is likely to be the first to finish broadcasting.

Even Penguin has no control over this aspect.

If we look at the normal episode length, one episode of "The Long Season" may be as long as three episodes.

But because the length of each episode is different, it can be seen that it is carefully designed.

The plot of each episode is very complete in terms of individual integrity. If it were to be separated, I would not know how to start.

Penguin video here.

"Xu Kong is not panicked at all."

Zeng Xi is naturally aware of the current decline in "The Long Season" data.

Even the popularity is completely inferior to what it was before it started airing.

However, Xu Kong still only cooperated with their announcements on a daily basis, and did not show too much anxiety at all.

You must know that this time in "The Long Season", the other party wants a direct share.

After excluding the cost of filming, it is very likely that Xu Kong's final payment will be much less than the salary he was originally offered.

"Since Director Xu has made such a drama, he probably doesn't care about how much money he can make, right?"

Ding Decong expressed his guess.

Zeng Xi nodded in agreement.

If Xu Kong was really going for the profit share, he might not have chosen to write such a script.

Not to mention big hits like Fairy Sword, even the original "Want to Meet You" can actually be said to be a suspense drama.

Isn’t it equally popular?

Just using the split account model can make Xu Kong make a lot of money.

"But speaking of preparation, maybe Director Xu knows that he won't start working hard on his new drama until later?"

Ding Decong suddenly remembered something and said.

Zeng Xi was stunned for a moment.

If you insist on saying so.

When the original Fairy Sword was actually the most popular, it was not when it first aired, but with the sacrifice of the character Lin Yueru, and when it was finally broadcast to the finale, the data and popularity reached the highest point.

And according to the current broadcast progress of "The Long Season", it seems that it won't be long before the most exciting part of the follow-up.

"In this case, let's use a little more force in our subsequent announcement."

Zeng Xi thought about it and made this decision.

After "The Long Season" was officially aired, Penguin almost stopped investing in publicity and distribution because it knew that the show's early pace was slow and would easily turn off a large portion of the audience.

But now after being reminded by Ding Decong, Zeng Xi suddenly felt that the result was still uncertain and she could give it a try.
