Chapter 39 Bao Qingtian Duel
With the professor's roar, this huge debate was stopped.
Seeing their angry expressions, Zha Jianying felt particularly relieved. Even a layperson like her couldn't explain this group of people, and they even questioned Hong Mincong's thesis. She was simply mentally ill!
Sure enough, Hongmin was right. Some people only care about their own interests and do not care about right and wrong.
With the defeat of all world history professors, the anti-Liu Hongmin wave of offensive has stalled. However, the academic shock in Beijing University has not stopped. Alexander's Eastern Expedition and even the history of Central and Western Asia have become popular for a while. Many students are inquiring about the story of this event and learning more about this period of history.
Soon, this incident spread throughout schools of all sizes in the capital.
With the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, Chinese people have become very interested in the Western world. The moon abroad is rounder, which has become a symbol of this era.
As soon as this incident came out, many people who admired the West were dissatisfied. Fortunately, reform and opening up have just begun, and contact with the West has just begun. These people are still very weak and cannot influence Liu Hongmin for the time being.
Liu Hongmin himself is completely unaware of this. He is still writing a book in Xiangjiang!
However, that night, he put down his pen and came to the TV.
RTV and TVB's Bao Qingtian dramas are both launched today, and they will compete at the same time. They are fighting hand to hand, competing to see whose TV series is better.
What Liu Hongmin showed was TVB's Bao Qingtian. He had already watched RTV's. The quality was very good, no worse than the original version.
Now it’s up to TVB’s Bao Qingtian. Its quality will determine the outcome of this showdown.
Soon the TV series started. Because there was no script, TVB strictly followed the plot of "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness". The first case was the civet cat for the prince.
This case is very classic and has been widely circulated from ancient times to the present. It can be said that as long as it is well shot, it will definitely become a blockbuster.
But halfway through watching it, Liu Hongmin turned off the TV. There is something wrong with TVB's pacing, the plot is too rushed, there are too few extended plots, and it's a bit breathless to watch.
This is not a big problem. If the protagonist can gain a sense of identity, it is not a big problem. If it were Bao Qingtian as the Jin Dynasty extra, the audience might ignore this issue.
It’s just that TVB’s Bao Qingtian is not Jin Chaoqun, nor is he a fat actor like Jin Chaoqun, but an actor with an oval face. There is no coercion at all when he keeps a straight face, and he looks a bit like he is sulking.
There are also problems with the casting of other actors. Zhan Zhao fights hard and hard, and it seems that he has practiced southern martial arts. And he doesn’t look too young, otherwise he wouldn’t look old on the small screen.
Although Zhan Zhao is a Nan Xia, he was granted the title of Royal Cat, so his martial arts path must be light. Even though he is using a heavy giant sword, it does not affect his powerful Qing Gong. People who are good at Qing Gong will naturally take the light route. Occasionally using a few hard moves can produce unexpected results.
The most important thing is that Zhan Zhao must be young and handsome. If you are not young and handsome, how can a man replace himself? How can women be crazy about it?
RTV obviously won by more than one margin. Although Liu Zhirong did not fit Bao Qingtian's image, it was normal for Bao Qingtian not to be an official at this time and not to have dignity.
Although He Jiajin has poor martial arts skills, he is handsome! In a detective drama, the investigation of the case is the highlight, and the action scenes are secondary.
And after training, He Jiajin’s action scenes looked pretty good. Those who have studied martial arts can tell at a glance that it is just a show, but ordinary viewers can tell this clearly!
Just like popular celebrities, as long as they are handsome, there will be a large group of idiot fans who will like them. It doesn't matter if you're good at acting or not, as long as you're handsome, that's all.
He Jiajin is much better than popular celebrities, at least he can’t act well!
Sure enough, the next morning, before the ratings came out, the major newspapers released their reviews. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that these media outlets did not hesitate to change the draft overnight in order to keep up with the popularity.
Many people praised TVB, saying that Zhan shows a strong bridge and a strong horse, and has the demeanor of a hero. Obviously, they also knew that there was something wrong with Bao Qingtian's casting, and they avoided the protagonist with praise all the time. There are also some that are praised by both parties. This kind of thing is obviously paid by both parties, and no one wants to offend.
RTV is mostly praised. RTV’s Shaobao has a stronger story and the plots are interlocking. Even if you know who the murderer is in advance, you can’t stop watching it.
The one who received the most praise was of course the casting of He Jiajin, who was called the most handsome Zhan Zhao. Many newspapers pointed out that He Jiajin's shortcomings were that his acting skills were not good enough and his action scenes were stiff. But in the end, we had to admit that He Jiajin was naturally suitable for the role of Zhan Zhao.
After the ratings came out, RTV even beat TVB, with ratings twice as high as TVB.
Manager Huang and Xu Xiaoming were very happy, but Liu Hongmin was very indifferent.
"Mr. Liu, aren't you happy that our ratings beat TVB?"
Liu Hongmin spread his hands, "Isn't this what it should be?"
The two of them He was stunned for a moment and shook his head helplessly.
"Mr. Liu, to tell you the truth, we have been competing with TVB all the time these years. I think you should also know the result. We lose more and win less. This time we can defeat TVB with such an advantage, and the entire RTV Very happy.”
“You are too happy!”
I don’t understand at all, “Mr. Liu, what do you mean?”
Liu Hongmin laughed. He said: "If TVB still has the same quality tonight, the ratings will definitely drop. By then, many viewers will come to us, and triple or quadruple the ratings will be possible. You are Isn’t it too early to be happy?”
The two looked at each other and laughed.
"Yes, we were indeed happy too early."
Sure enough, the ratings on the third morning proved what Liu Hongmin said, it was really almost three times that of TVB.
At this time, TV dramas in Xiangjiang were all broadcast and filmed at the same time, and the ratings would speak for themselves. If the ratings are good, continue filming; if the ratings are bad, then cancel other dramas.
TVB’s Bao Qingtian was severely beaten by RTV and was axed on the fifth day. I temporarily picked up a new drama, and because it had a different audience than Shaobao, it pulled back some ratings and barely saved face.
As for RTV, they naturally shot all the remaining episodes of Shaobao in one go.
After Liu Hongmin finished writing "A Better Tomorrow", he completed his work as a consultant and got on the plane back to the capital.
After walking a long way, Beijing University was already on holiday. Many students have gone home for the New Year. Because they bought a house, Liu Hongmin does not plan to go back this year.
When he went to find Zou Shifang, he realized that so many things had happened in the school after he left. Liu Hongmin was very moved when he heard that Cha Jianying was willing to debate with those world history professors for him.
This silly girl...
