Chapter 308 ended with a break of 4%
April 23.
Wang Shu continues to shoot "The Crowd" in the studio of Beijing Studio. The filming of this movie is now coming to an end and will be completed soon.
After all, it is just a feature film with realistic themes, not a flashy commercial film. Both location shooting and crew operation are much simpler. In addition, Wang Shu has the original film in his mind, so the filming cycle is not long. .
It is estimated that filming will be completed around May, and post-production will be completed in mid-to-late May before being submitted for review.
Now with Han Sanping's reputation, as long as the movie he makes is not weird, it will be reviewed very quickly.
"Big Crowd" will be submitted to the Venice Film Festival for registration around the end of May.
Under normal circumstances, the deadline for film submissions to the Venice Film Festival is mid-June.
Directors or film producers without connections who want to sign up must submit their films before this date.
But this is just a general situation.
If you are a well-known director, or a well-connected director and film company, the deadline for registration can be before September.
As long as you register before the opening of the film festival, there is basically no problem.
The chairman of the jury of the 2007 Venice Film Festival was Zhang Yimou, and Zhang Yimou also knew that Wang Shu was making a film and was preparing to sign up for Venice.
Therefore, even if "Human Mountain and Human Sea" cannot catch up with the registration deadline in mid-June, as long as he finds Zhang Yimou, Zhang Yimou will come forward to recommend "Human Mountain and Human Sea" to enter.
This is not Zhang Yimou giving Wang Shu face.
But Zhang Yimou is a mainland director. As the chairman of the jury of this Venice Film Festival, he naturally hopes that more excellent Chinese-language films will appear at the film festival.
This is something that can give him face, and he will do it regardless of emotion or reason.
Wang Shu is currently filming in the studio, and "Secret Garden", which has been launched on the four major satellite TV stations, is also coming to an end.
This drama is created by the original cast of "Space Traveler" and has attracted much attention even before it is broadcast.
After the broadcast, the ratings have been rising.
Although it is full of advertising placement, it is harmless and does not affect the audience's enthusiasm for watching the drama.
"Secret Garden" premiered on March 31 at the Golden Eagle Private Theater on Mango TV, and is now on April 23.
The idol drama with only 27 episodes ushered in its finale on Monday.
In the original timeline, "Secret Garden" was a Korean drama launched in 2010, with only 20 episodes in total.
However, Korean dramas generally have an episode of 60 minutes, while domestic dramas have an episode of about 45 minutes.
If it is adapted into a domestic drama, it will become 27 episodes.
Mango TV.
Many staff looked solemn, looking forward to the release of the final ratings of "Secret Garden".
Prior to this, the highest average national ratings of a single episode broadcast on Mango TV had reached 3.96%.
Just a hair short of breaking 4%.
Breaking 4% is a milestone TV drama ratings for Mango TV.
Admittedly, if calculated based on regional networks or city networks, let alone breaking 4%, even if the ratings are breaking ten or dozens, there are many TV series.
However, based on the national network calculation, because set-top box closed-circuit television has not yet covered large areas of towns and rural areas across the country, Mango TV’s market share is limited, making it a very popular TV series as long as the national ratings exceed 3%. .
Now the single episode of "Secret Garden" is expected to exceed 4%, which is definitely something worth celebrating.
If Wang Shu gets this news now, he can basically analyze the real reason why "Secret Garden" is expected to break 4%.
It is undeniable that because "Secret Garden" was created by the original crew of "Space Traveler" and the novel setting of "Secret Garden", it has indeed attracted many viewers to follow the show.
However, according to Mango TV’s original market share, it is difficult for its national ratings to break through 4%.
Looking at the history of Mango TV, only the average ratings of "Huan Zhuge Ge" (5%), "The Temptation of Home" (4.33%), and "Dae Jang Geum" (4.08%) have exceeded the average ratings. 4% of TV series.
Even "In the Name of the People" in 2017 only had an average ratings of 3.66%.
Of course, the television industry has gone downhill in 2017, and Mango TV's market share has turned from glory to shrinking, which has resulted in "In the Name of the People" having an average ratings of only 3.66%.
Now "Secret Garden" is expected to break 4% by the end. Another big boost is that a certain field is now vigorously promoting set-top box closed-circuit television into thousands of households, and has achieved certain results.
Mango TV has reaped dividends and its market share has increased, which is when it is gradually heading towards a glorious era.
The two complement each other, making "Secret Garden"'s average ratings for a single episode expected to exceed 4%.
In the original timeline, there were only six TV series broadcast by Mango TV with average ratings exceeding 3%.
Respectively, "Huan Zhu Ge Ge Part 1 and Two", "Desire to Go Home" and "Dae Jang Geum" which exceeded 4%, and "The Beauty" and "In the Name of the People" which exceeded 3% .
Apart from these six TV series, there are only 16 TV series with average ratings exceeding 2%.
They are "Legend of Wu Mei Niang", "Flower Thousand Bones", "Goodbye Another Dream", "The Temptation of Going Home", "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower", "Gong Lock Heart Jade", "Golden Bough" "Desire" and so on.
Since its inception, there have been only 22 TV series with average ratings exceeding 2%.
In other words, as long as the average ratings exceed 1%, it is already a very successful TV series.
Now, with various additions, the average ratings of the final battle of "Secret Garden" are expected to exceed 4%, which is definitely a significant thing.
Of course, the average ratings of the final battle are expected to exceed 4%, which does not mean that the average ratings of the entire drama "Secret Garden" exceed 4%.
Even if the average ratings of the final battle exceed 4%, the tie rating of the entire drama "Secret Garden" is likely to be around 2.6 or 7%.
Whether it is 2.6% or 2.7%, it is already ranked in the top ten among all TV series broadcast by Mango TV.
Mango TV is a satellite TV station, not a TV station.
Looking at the TV series broadcast by Yangshi, even if they are average, there are many popular dramas that easily exceed 2%, 3%, or even 10%.
The TV series broadcasted by Mango TV are already very popular if the average ratings of the whole series can exceed 2%.
Mango TV is still the TV station with the highest ratings among the many satellite TV stations, and other satellite TV stations are even worse.
……
The next day.
The average ratings of "Secret Garden" in the finale of Mango TV are released, 4.03%.
Breaking 4%.
However, this is only the average ratings for the finale.
The average ratings of the entire drama are 2.74%.
Even if the three idol dramas "My Girlfriend is a Nine-tailed Fox", "Witch Sui" and "My Love from the Star" are included, they still rank higher than the total number of TV dramas broadcast by Mango TV over the years. of the top ten. Today, among the total average ratings of TV series broadcast by Mango TV over the years, the top ten are "Huan Zhu Ge Ge Part 1 and 2" broadcast in 2003, which was 5%, "Dae Jang Geum" in 2005, which was 4.08%, In 2003, "The Two Young Masters" 3.10%, in 2004, "Huanzhugege Part 3: Heaven and Earth", as well as four idol dramas directed by Wang Shu and "Dae Jang Geum's edited version".
It is true that "Desire to Go Home", "The Legend of Wu Mei Niang" and "Another Dream" will be included in the top ten.
But these TV series have not yet been released.
Even the earliest version of "Another Dream" was only broadcast on Mango TV on June 30, 2007 in the original timeline.
Ouyang Changlin sat in his office and looked at the ratings data after the finale of "Secret Garden". He felt regretful beyond words and could not calm down for a long time.
Four of the top ten TV series in Taiwan are produced by Wang Shu.
Originally, Mango Channel once had the opportunity to cooperate with Wang Shu.
Now there is only a sigh.
Ouyang Changlin shook his head helplessly, then looked at the secretary at the desk and opened his mouth. He originally had something to arrange, but when he came to his mouth, he changed his words and said: "Get Wang Shu's contact number. Come and give it to me."
The secretary also knew at this moment that the Wang Shu that Ouyang Changlin was talking about was Director Wang in the capital. After a polite response, he turned and went to the work station to complete this matter.
Soon, she found Wang Shu’s contact information and gave it to Ouyang Changlin.
Wang Shu was filming when he suddenly received a strange call.
For a person in his profession, it is impossible not to answer calls from strangers.
"Hey!" Wang Shu walked to the side and took it.
"Hello, Director Wang, I am Ouyang Changlin from Mango Terrace." Ouyang Changlin introduced himself with a smile.
Yishu has cooperated with Mango TV. He believes that Wang Shu will know who he is if he gives his name.
As expected, when Wang Shu heard this, he politely replied: "It turns out to be Mr. Ouyang. I'm glad to meet you. What's the matter with you calling now?"
He knew Mr. Ouyang. Lin is not only the director of Mango TV, but also the deputy secretary and deputy director of the Party Leadership Group of HuN Provincial Radio and Television Bureau, the general manager of HuN Radio, Film and Television Group, and the director of Mango TV.
In short, aside from other aspects, Mango Taiwan is the biggest.
"Haha." Ouyang Changlin smiled and said, ""Secret Garden" ended last night. The average ratings of the finale exceeded 4%, and the average ratings of the whole series were 2.74%."
When Wang Shu heard this, he had already guessed the purpose of Ouyang Changlin's call, and then smiled and said: "2.74%? Pretty good result."
He knew in his heart that this ratings result could rank among the top ten TV series broadcast by Mango TV over the years.
But it’s okay to know it in your heart, but it’s wrong to say it out loud.
“It’s really good!” Ouyang Changlin continued to smile, without saying anything about the ranking of the 2.74% ratings on Mango Channel.
After all, Wang Shu directed "The Legend of Zhen Huan", a TV drama with a ratings of over 10%.
If it is mentioned that the ratings of 2.74% have already ranked among the top ten TV series broadcast by Mango Channel over the years, it is really a shame for Mango Channel.
It is for this reason that Wang Shu was not surprised when he heard that "Secret Garden" had a ratings of 2.74%, and he was not surprised at the same time.
Then he took the initiative and asked, "Does Director Wang have any ideas for making a TV series in the future?"
"If so, Mango Channel is looking forward to cooperating with Yishu Company."< br>
Under normal circumstances, Ouyang Changlin, as the director of Mango Channel, would not condescend to take the initiative to call to discuss this matter.
However, after the four idol dramas directed by Wang Shu were aired on Mango TV, their ratings all ranked among the top ten of all TV dramas broadcast over the years.
This data is too strong.
It shows that the product produced by Wang Shu is indeed a high-quality product.
Now that Mango Channel is developing well and has created phenomenal variety shows such as "Super Girl", he has new ideas.
The TV series will be jointly produced by HuN Radio, Film and Television Company and other film and television companies, and then promoted and broadcast externally in the form of Mango Channel’s own dramas to enhance the brand image of Mango Channel.
For example, TVB and Asia Television in Hong Kong Island produce their own TV series and broadcast them on their own TV stations.
In fact, this is not Ouyang Changlin's new idea. It can only be said that he wants to cooperate with Yishu Company to continuously create high-rating TV series.
Because before this, Mango Channel has been producing TV series.
For example, TV series such as "Extraordinary Citizen", "White Collar Apartment", and "Youth Out" are all produced by Mango Channel.
It’s just that the ratings are average.
As for Mango Channel, in cooperation with Wang Shu, Wang Shu has only produced five TV series that have been successful, so the ratings will no longer be average.
If it is titled as a Mango Channel self-produced drama, the brand image will definitely be greatly improved.
The brand improvement of Mango Channel also indicates that revenue from advertising and other aspects will increase accordingly.
So, this step is quite important.
Ouyang Changlin now not only wants to link Mango Channel with entertainment, but also wants to create a reputation that can produce high-quality dramas by itself.
In other words, in the future, when viewers think of Mango Channel, they will not only think of variety shows and imported Korean dramas, but also various excellent TV series produced by Mango Channel.
I have to say that Ouyang Changlin did have wonderful thoughts.
It’s just
Wang Shu pretended to be confused and answered with a smile: "Ouyang Yangchang, Yishu Company has always been cooperating with Mango Channel, and it will definitely be the same for any TV series produced in the future. Priority is given to cooperation with Mango Channel."
Ouyang Changlin didn't know whether Wang Shu really didn't understand or pretended not to understand. He smiled and answered: "I mean Yishu Company is in the production of TV series. We can cooperate with Mango Channel alone, and we can grow bigger and stronger together.”
He had already thought about cooperating with Yishu Company before, but later he saw that Wang Shu was getting more and more powerful, so he held back his inner thoughts. .
Now that the average ratings of "Secret Garden" have once again become one of the top ten TV series on Mango Channel in terms of ratings over the years, he can't stand it anymore.
"Haha." Wang Shu smiled when he heard this and asked: "Mr. Ouyang Yang, are you kidding me?"
He used to make TV series, one of which is to lend a hand. Yangshi's name was gilded, so "The Legend of Zhen Huan" came into existence.
The subsequent idol dramas all started filming for other purposes.
Now that the goal has been achieved, and he is already a great film director, there is no need to mess with TV dramas that lower the qualifications of a great film director.
Therefore
Not to mention that he no longer plans to create TV series, even if he still wants to create TV series, there is no need to cooperate with Mango Channel.
Today is different from the past.
If he was just starting out and Ouyang Changlin extended an olive branch, he would naturally be filled with joy.
Now, in terms of TV series production, it makes no sense to cooperate with Mango Channel alone.
