Chapter 334 The premiere data of "The Beginning" is entirely based on peers
Once, twice, three times...
At the moment, Li Shiqing thought it was her dream.
But as the palpitations after waking up became more and more real, she knew that she was not dreaming.
Sure enough, the No. 45 bus she was taking exploded again.
...
The start of "The Beginning" is quite fast, because I knew before that the biggest highlight of the whole drama is the time cycle, and Yiguo's substitution of the plot is also quite fast.
In fact, the time cycle has long been no longer avant-garde concept in this world.
All kinds of literature, film and television, and even animation have long been common.
And like Yiguo, you can easily tell several masterpieces with this concept.
But this time, "The Beginning" is indeed a bit different.
Because the previous works were either foreign backgrounds or simply a world of overhead.
This time in "The Beginning", it can be seen that Xu Kong plans to more directly immerse himself in a cultural and social context that domestic audiences are more familiar with.
This can be seen very well from the plot of the first episode.
In fact, the whole drama begins with the perspective of the heroine.
The heroine Li Shiqing in the play has almost the same limited information as the audience, which greatly deepens the introductory feeling.
In addition, Song Youyou, a young actor, is indeed very reassuring in his acting skills.
The role of a female college student has almost no situation where people feel overworked or out of the show.
…
The most important thing is that with the emergence of the Chinese police who are very familiar to people in the play.
The roles like the executive captain Zhang Cheng and the place where he filmed is an ordinary third- and fourth-tier cities like Lecheng, which are very common in China.
It really gave Yiguo a very different feeling.
That is, although it is a sci-fi concept like the time cycle.
But the style of the whole drama itself really looks like a realistic criminal investigation drama.
In particular, the heroine Li Shiqing seemed to have used the claim that the hero was harassed herself, so she got off the car early and successfully avoided the explosion.
But this behavior was quickly targeted by the police and became the target of suspicion.
All this is a bit too real.
At this time, the male protagonist Xiao Heyun, who was pulled out of the car and avoided the explosion, turned around and went to the taxi because he rushed to the meeting, and was also affected by the explosion.
At the end of the first season, he was no longer a human on the hospital bed, and his heartbeat stopped completely.
…
In fact, the progress of the entire first episode was not very fast.
But it is quite compact, and there are many suspenses about the time cycle, which can be said to be quite laid out.
It almost makes people feel like they can't help but want to know the truth behind the scenes.
"As an actor, there shouldn't be much problem with his acting skills. Although Xu Kong didn't have many scenes in the first episode, it is probably difficult to make a comeback with his acting skills."
"But it can be seen that this drama is still very different from Xu Kong's past drama style, and has a stronger commercial flavor."
"I feel that this may be related to the director this time being Su Meng?"
Yiguo thought silently.
Is this "The Beginning" a wonderful plot?
It is still impossible to draw a conclusion.
But from a business perspective, there is really nothing to be picky about.
The concept of this time cycle alone, combined with the real domestic social background and culture, is destined to be unlikely to be low.
In addition, the pace of the first episode of the whole show is so smooth that it almost leaves a lot of unsolved puzzles.
Including the reasons for the cycle, the truth about the bus explosion, the mysterious mobile phone ringtone, etc.
It is really a common technique used by many suspense dramas in China, and almost all of them are used for good results.
The screenwriter Xu Kong is a bit too familiar with what domestic audiences are interested in.
...
Entering the second episode, it turns out that just like Yiguo predicted, this time the main perspective changed to the male protagonist, Xiao Heyun played by Xu Kong.
Xu Kong did not disappoint Yiguo, or in other words, such a role this time was indeed not as difficult as Xu Kong.
Although it was a three-drawn group, Xu Kong and Song Youyou had no problem with making people lose their role.
It is no problem to say that the two of them are in a drama.
Yi Guo knew better, although not many people had discussed Xu Kong and Song Youyou.
But among the young actors in China nowadays, the two are definitely the kind of people who are ahead of their peers.
Song Youyou still remains to be seen.
But Xu Kong did rely on his acting with Guan Hua, the best actor in "Long Seasons" and the creation of the male lead in "Sweet Honey", his acting skills have reached a very exaggerated level.
It’s just that Xu Kong’s identity is too many and complicated, and compared to his achievements as a director or singer, his identity as an actor is easily overlooked.
...
In the second episode, it can be seen that the pace has obviously slowed down.
But this is indeed quite wise.
Or the handling of this "The Beginning" is very formulaic.
In similar time loop works, characters who fall into loop will experience the panic in the early stage and then start to try various ways to escape the loop in the later stage.
This is the overall content of the second episode.
Although Li Shiqing and Xiao Heyun were not in a cycle at the same time, it was obvious that this was the two of them on the entire bus.
Xiao Heyun was still unable to accept it at the beginning and wanted to get off the car by force until another explosion after the failure, which made him calm down a little.
But at the same time, the bus explosion did not seem as simple as they imagined.
They tried their best to prevent the collision between the bus and the tanker truck.
Just when the bus was on the Cross-River Bridge for the first time, both of them were happy that this time it was finally successful, but they woke up in the car at the same time.
Obviously, the car exploded again.
This incident is not a so-called accident or traffic accident.
…
The beginning of "The Beginning" has only two episodes premiered.
The content of the two episodes is not short.
And the plot rhythm inside has always been in a relatively tense state.
But for the audience, there is no more information about the entire show except for some basic situations.
In fact, Yiguo could probably guess some of the ways to deal with the subsequent Xu Kong plan.
But at present, the plot of these first two episodes is indeed enough to arouse her interest.
At least the time cycle, combined with the domestic social environment that tends toward real style, it still makes people feel very fresh.
This is true for her. For many ordinary audiences, especially those who have never watched the time loop type work before, the first two episodes of "The Beginning" can even be called stunning. In fact, the overall impression this drama brings to Yiguo is not as good as the original "Want to See You".
As for "The Long Season", it is even more not at the same level.
It is more like a suspense drama with clear purpose, which is for commercial achievements, and Xu Kong's own story-writing ability, making it a suspense drama with quality.
She was indeed a little disappointed.
But at the same time, Yiguo had to admit that if nothing big of an accident happened, Xu Kong's new drama would still become a hit.
There is no way, Xu Kong's own talent and ability are there, and he understands the market and domestic audiences so well.
For Xu Kong, such a drama is just about having hands.
…
The two dramas "The Beginning" and "The Power of the World" were aired at the same time.
But at night, on Weibo's hot searches, the topics related to "The Beginning", especially various speculations and analysis about the plot, have already become hot searches.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
As for "The World of Power" on the other side, it seems to be very popular, but if you really observe carefully, you will find that there are many human-computer comments in the comment section that have been praising and are very fake. "I watched both sides. I can see the director's ambitions in "The Power of the World", but I just want everything. In the end, it's a bit unpleasant. As for "The Beginning", I have to say that although the two episodes still seem to be playing puzzles, at least it doesn't make people feel bored."
"I saw "The World of Power" fell asleep. My friend said that I couldn't eat fine bran in my mountain pig. Forget it, "The World of Power" is suitable for me, at least I can understand it."
"Don't use the audience to appreciate it, or the threshold is high as an excuse. "The World of Power" is a big deal, and the story can't be explained clearly, so why do you have a three-line narrative?"
...
Yiguo really didn't expect that public opinion would have such a one-sided situation.
And in her opinion, the drama "The Beginning" is actually of good quality, at least a qualified and even an excellent commercial drama.
But Xu Kong's name is put on, even if he is not a director, he is a person who has filmed the TV series "Long Season" and "Want to See You".
The requirements will definitely be different.
At this time, it was a bit like he was relying on his peers to set off.
The pretendings in "The Power of the World" are mysterious and slow, the characters have no characteristics, and even the male protagonist is not very likable.
It can be said that except for a few big war scenes that cost a lot of money to shoot, some pitfalls that should be avoided, and they have not fallen behind.
It is hard to imagine that this drama has produced so many classic directors Yu Fenfen.
The two dramas were aired on the same day again, which led to the fact that in Yiguo's view, there would be some criticism of "The Beginning".
I was surprised to look at the major social platforms, and almost all of them were well received.
…
Of course, Yiguo didn't have much opinion on this.
This is always a good thing.
Although it did not meet her original expectations for Xu Kong's new drama.
But many people have ignored it. This time the director is not Xu Kong.
For some practical reasons, such dramas with more commercial nature are completely understandable.
What's more, in fact, the quality of the whole drama is not bad at present, and it is even quite good among the same type of drama.
After all, Xu Kong's first two works are "Long Seasons" and "Sweet Honey".
It is also sufficient to prove the other party's ability and corresponding artistic pursuits.
The director is also a human being, and it is understandable that Yiguo has always understood it more.
Do you really think that some commercial film directors don’t want to make commercial blockbusters with billions of box offices?
No, a large part of it is because of the genre problem. Many domestic directors cannot shoot the abilities of them at all.
It is quite rare for Xu Kong to take into account both business and quality.
…
"Did the data come out on the first day?"
At this time, Zhu Changyun did not expect that "The Power of the World" would be a perfect drama that he thought was almost without any shortcomings, and would be criticized by so many people after it was broadcast.
Although he does have many years of experience in his career.
But the market is so unpredictable.
No matter how confident you are, when the airing is, those inconspicuous ordinary audiences are the real commentators. "The ratings on Ocean TV have reached 1.1. As for Kiwi, the cumulative playback volume is 130 million." Lu Hanwen answered.
In fact, such data is already quite good.
If most domestic dramas can achieve such results in their debut, they will probably wake up with a smile.
But in contrast, "The Power of the World" is really a bit special.
Let's not mention the production cost of the entire drama for now, just spending more than 100 million yuan in promotional and promotional projects in recent times.
This data performance can only be said to be fair.
What makes people even more desperate is that the "Start" is broadcast at the same time next door, with only about one-fifth of their investment, or even lower.
On Mango's first day's ratings reached 0.9, and even the number of views was 130 million, which was the same as them.
More importantly, the public opinion on the Internet was almost inclined to Xu Kong's "The Beginning".
Although they had prepared the navy and various public opinion methods, they played a buffering role.
But it is estimated that at most tomorrow, when the two dramas finally get to a close, they will not be able to hold on.
It's not just Zhu Changyun, but even Lu Hanwen. I didn't expect that the audience would be so unwilling to buy their new drama this time.
It seems that the reputation is almost collapsed?
After watching the finished film in advance, most people thought that this year's hits were stable. He was more rational like him, and at least he thought that his grades would not be bad. Although the investment was large, he only recovered the cost, which was not a problem that needed to be cared about.
…
The same concerns are Ocean TV and Kiwi as the platform.
The great publicity efforts of "Power in the World" cannot explain anything.
The key is to be able to keep the audience behind and continue to watch the show.
But not to mention the reputation online at this time, what is even more outrageous is that the retention rate of the cliff-like decline from the first episode to the second episode can be seen.
In fact, it was like Qin Xian. The reason why he couldn't reach an agreement on copyright fees was because he also felt that this "Power to the World" was risky.
Some related resources have been invested now.
If they really lose too badly, they will definitely suffer a lot of losses.
The only thing that is to be grateful is that fortunately, it was signed with Changyun Film and Television.
Otherwise, I would probably have become a sucker.
Qin Xian and the person in charge of Ocean TV were not together, but they felt a little bit of gratitude like a tacit understanding, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
