At the end of August, the capital has entered autumn in terms of solar terms. Although it is still very hot during the day, you can already feel a hint of the coolness of autumn at night.
Although it was already late at this time, Liu Qian still stayed in front of the TV to watch the drama.
The meaning of tonight is extraordinary for her, because [Gu Jian Qi Tan], which she has been following for almost 3 months, will have its finale today.
This TV series has a total of 52 episodes, with 4 episodes per week. It has been broadcast for 3 months from the beginning of June to now.
If it weren't for the fact that this TV series was so exciting and Gu Wei was so handsome, she would have given up halfway through.
"Qianqian, why don't you go to bed so late?
School will start in a few days, and the biological clock has to be adjusted. You can no longer go to bed late and get up late like during the summer vacation. "
My mother came out of the bedroom and saw Liu Qian still watching TV in the living room so late at night, and couldn't help but start nagging.
"Mom~, the finale of the TV series I have been following for a long time. After watching this episode, I will go back to the house and sleep, I promise!"
Liu Qian made promises to her mother, but she didn't take her eyes off the TV at all.
When her mother saw what she said, she didn’t say anything more. She muttered a few more words and turned around and entered the bedroom.
After a while, the last episode of [Gu Jian] ended. Liu Qian looked at the ending song played on TV and felt a little lost.
"Baili Tusu" finally died and disappeared with a smile in the arms of "Qingxue".
After turning off the TV, Liu Qian returned to her room. Lying on the bed, she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. Fragments from "Ancient Sword" kept flashing through her mind, especially the finale. One scene.
The walls of her small bedroom are covered with posters of Gu Wei, some dressed as students in "Tang Detective" and "Baili Tu Su" in "Ancient Sword".
Last year she met Gu Wei through the song "Light Chaser", and the movie "Detective Chinatown" amazed her, confirming that this star who has only debuted for a long time is both good-looking and talented.
Since the launch of [Gujian] in June, the "Baili Tusu" version of Gu Wei completely captured her heart, and she has become a loyal fan of Gu Wei ever since.
While waiting for the drama, she also found out Gu Wei's original "Embroidered Spring Knife" and watched it again during her free time.
Although she is a girl and has no interest in martial arts movies, the wonderful story and Gu Wei's outstanding appearance still make her watch it with gusto.
Since she couldn't sleep, Liu Qian sat up and walked to the computer desk to turn on the computer.
Although it was already late at night, the Internet was still bustling with activity.
The official Weibo of [Gu Jian Qi Tan], the personal Weibo of Gu Wei and Yang Mi, and the related Baidu Tieba are all filled with fans of the TV series like Liu Qian.
After watching the finale, the emotions in the hearts of the audience had nowhere to vent, and naturally they all poured into the Internet.
“I have watched all of [Gu Jian Qi Tan]. Originally, I thought this drama was broadcast very slowly, but now I wish it could be broadcast even slower. The TV series is very exciting, and I don’t even know it ended. There is no drama to watch.”
"The love story between Baili Tusu and Feng Qingxue is really touching. I hope Qingxue can find Baili Tusu in the end, and then they can live a happy life together.
But, is it really possible? Some people say, even if Qingxue found Su Su, and Su Su would not remember Qingxue~wuwu~"
"Ouyang Shaogong is really a bad guy, if it weren't for him, Su Su would not have died.
>
I really hate him. He has been lying to everyone.
But in the end, he died because of love. Maybe his life was not easy. ”
< br>
"This is a very good TV series. I hope everyone will come and watch it. I believe you will definitely gain something!"
"."
Backstage at Mango TV, Zhao Rong answered He looked at the ratings statistics brought over by his subordinates, and looked excited.
[Gu Jian Qi Tan] As the finale aired on the last day, the ratings reached a peak without any surprise.
The national network ratings were 2.84, and the largest audience share reached 18.35. This result basically swept all the TV series launched this year.
Except for the highest ratings, which was slightly behind the CCTV drama "Parents' Love" at the beginning of the year, basically no other TV series can compare with it.
Although [Parents' Love] has higher ratings than [Gu Jian], it is far behind in terms of viewership share, and it is even more incomparable in terms of online broadcast data and online discussion volume.
No way, the audiences of the two TV series are different. Those who watch "Parents Love" are basically older viewers, while "Gu Jian" is more popular among young people.
Nowadays, TV sets in ordinary families are basically in the hands of housewives and some elderly people, while young people prefer to watch TV dramas on the Internet.
According to statistics, the current total number of online broadcasts of "Gu Jian Qi Tan" has exceeded 8.8 billion, breaking the previous record of 7.9 billion for "The Legend of Zhen Huan", becoming the drama with the highest total number of views in history, aiming to reach tens of billions. close.
The single episode of "Gu Jian" has been played more than 160 million times, and the highest number of views in a single day has exceeded 200 million. It continues to break various online playback records and is constantly setting new records.
Those TV series released in the summer were basically rubbed on the ground by "Gu Jian Qi Tan".
The worst one is Blueberry Channel's "Pocahontas". Because the broadcast times are highly overlapping and it is a costume drama like "The Ancient Sword", it is always compared by the audience.
In addition to breaking 1 in the first week of broadcasting, the ratings have been fluctuating between 0.4 and 0.5 since the second week.
The broadcast has been completed in the past few days, and the average ratings are only 0.514. It can be said that Blueberry Channel has completely lost this round.
Among other TV dramas, only "Divorce Lawyer", which was broadcast on three channels, relied on its excellent reputation in the later period and achieved an average ratings of 0.714 per channel, with the highest ratings exceeding 1.
It can be regarded as the second TV series under [Gu Jian] in the summer season. Of course, Zhao Rong thinks that the performance of "Divorce Lawyer" is better than that of "Pocahontas" most likely because of the subject matter. After all, it is a modern drama with a different subject matter from "Ancient Sword", which has attracted some people who like to watch it. Audiences of modern drama.
TV dramas in the same period have been eliminated one after another, and Zhao Rong has already set her sights on other TV dramas throughout 2014.
Now it seems that in terms of TV ratings, [Parents Love] at the beginning of the year can be compared.
In terms of online viewing volume and discussion, the Korean TV series "My Love from the Star" introduced in the first half of the year can compete.
But generally speaking, these two TVs are not good.
At this moment, Zhao Rong really felt as if he had an [ancient sword] in his hand and was trying to see who was the opponent of the heroes in the world.
Being contented and contented with others is the true reflection of her heart at this moment.
She feels that this year’s drama king is secure.
"Director Zhao, is the drama [Shanshan Is Coming] going to be broadcast after [Gu Jian Qi Tan]?"
Just when Zhao Rong was looking at the data sheet and was very happy, her subordinate Xiao The king knocked on the door and came in.
He took the application form from his subordinate, thought for a moment, raised his head and said.
“We will arrange another TV series first, and arrange [Shanshan Is Here] until the end of the year. Now, due to the influence of [Ancient Sword], Gu Wei and Yang Mi still have a lot of CP fans, so at this time, [Shanshan Is Coming] will be released. Shanshan is here] I’m afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among some fans.”
The popularity of [Gu Jian] also has a huge effect, which is to completely destroy the reputation of Mango Channel [Diamond Solo Theater]. go out.
First of all, everyone confirmed that this weekly broadcast format can be accepted by domestic audiences.
Secondly, any TV series that will appear on the Diamond Solo Theater in the future will naturally attract the attention of some viewers.
“Leader, do we want to buy the movie [The Legend of the Condor Heroes] produced by Yu Zheng Studio?
This drama is currently communicating with several major TV stations about selling the film. ”
Yu Zheng Studio is an old partner of Mango Channel. Since its establishment in 2008, it has produced and distributed the TV series [Gong Lock Heart Jade], [Gong Lock Bead Curtain], and [Gong Lock City]. , [Beautiful Scheming], [Swordsman], [Legend of Lu Zhen], etc.
Most of them are popular on Mango Channel. Because Mango Channel itself is very popular and has a large audience, these TV series are indeed of good quality.
It can be said that Mango Channel and Yu Zheng Studio have achieved mutual success over the years, and the relationship between the two parties has always been very good.
Zhao Rong is still very interested in Zheng's drama, but she has learned about the TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Chen Yanxi's appearance plays the role of the Little Dragon Girl, and she felt a little bit out of place when watching it.
“Look at the price. If you can sell it at the normal price, buy it. If another TV station raises the price, give up.”

Although [Gu Jian] has finished broadcasting, the popularity on the Internet is still unabated. At this time, the audience is still in a period of excitement and is keen to discuss the plot online and express their own opinions on the finale of the story.
The summer season of 2014 came to an end with the completion of "Gu Jian Qi Tan".
For TV viewers, this is a summer worth remembering. A wonderful TV series has accompanied them for more than 2 months.
Especially for those young people who are still in school, even if they think back many years later, they will remember that there was once a wonderful fairy tale drama that brought them happiness that summer.
This will make [Gu Jian Qi Tan] truly become a memory point in the hearts of a generation of young people.
Just like "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" many years ago and "Legend of Sword and Fairy" a few years ago, with the passage of time and the continuous rebroadcast of the TV series, it has gradually become a classic in the hearts of a generation.
With the completion of the TV series, the fame of the main actors in the TV series such as Gu Wei and Yang Mi has also reached a new height this summer.
According to the statistics of the authoritative data media Vlinkage, Gu Wei, the leading actor of "Gu Jian Qi Tan", has been ranked first in the "Artist New Media Index" list for 78 consecutive days, breaking the Korean "My Love from the Star" Kim Soo in one fell swoop. Xian’s record of 49 days.
The new media index reached 9.8213, a new single-day high for mainland actors.
The so-called Artist New Media Index is a set of indicators created by Vlinkage to scientifically measure the online popularity of artists (actors).
The index is calculated through a comprehensive data model based on the on-demand performance of video websites where the artist participates in film and television works or programs, the artist's social media, search, and daily performance data of media reports.

The index list has been released daily since July 1, 2012. Well-known artists such as Yang Mi, Tang Yan, Hu Ge, Zhong Hanliang, and Liu Shishi often appear at the top of the list.
From the second half of 2013 to the beginning of this year, due to the popularity of Korean dramas "The Heirs" and "You from the Star", the top two on this list at that time were Kim Soo-hyun and Lee Min-goo, and the new media index was 8.987 and 8.452.
At that time, Chung Han-liang, Luo Jin, Chen Qiaoen, etc. who were relatively popular were all ranked behind the two Korean artists, and Kim Soo-hyun also achieved a record of ranking first for 49 consecutive days.
For a Korean star to be so popular in China's entertainment industry and set such a record really made the popular stars in the entertainment industry at that time unable to hold their heads high.
With Gu Wei around, this record was broken by him with an even more exaggerated statistic in less than half a year.
Not only that, in terms of Weibo data, the micro-interviews of [Gu Jian] starring actors such as Yang Mi, Gu Wei, Zhong Xintong, Qiao Zhenyu, Ma Tianyu, etc. are extremely popular and continue to set new records.
