Chapter 316: Scolding the Reflection Party
After chatting for a while, I realized that CCTV was fanned by his butterfly wings this time.
In my previous life, the appearance of "Dae Jang Geum" was simply a miracle.
In 2003, "Dae Jang Geum" was broadcast in South Korea, with an average viewership of 47.8%. That is to say, when "Dae Jang Geum" was broadcast, one of every two people watching TV was Watch "Dae Jang Geum".
This viewership rating is higher than that of the China Spring Festival Gala. The highest rating in the previous Spring Festival Gala is only 41.6%.
This year it was broadcast on the eight major TV stations in Taiwan, and it was the ratings champion for two consecutive rounds.
It was then broadcast in Hong Kong and continued to create miracles. The ratings ranked first in the 25-year TV drama ratings list in Hong Kong, with an audience of 3.21 million, accounting for almost half of the total population in Hong Kong.
Of course people will notice such a popular drama, and those who noticed him were CCTV and Mango Channel.
CCTV wants to buy it, and so does Mango Channel.
CCTV still wanted to put on airs, but Mango Channel didn't tolerate him and directly offered a high price of 8 million yuan.
CCTV gave up reluctantly and turned around and introduced another Korean drama "Come on ~ Jinshun!" "Come and compete with "Dae Jang Geum".
The result was that they were defeated and defeated.
This result is actually very unreasonable.
"Dae Jang Geum" has been out for two years, and pirated DVDs have been available for a long time. It should not be so popular when it is broadcast in China.
Mango Channel made a big bet on "Dae Jang Geum", which was a gambling mentality. Unexpectedly, he made the right bet, and "Dae Jang Geum" became the ratings champion of Mango Channel in 2005.
In this life, because of the purchase of "Wulin Gaiden", Mango Channel no longer competes with CCTV, and "Dae Jang Geum" was successfully won by CCTV.
In the field of TV dramas, CCTV is the leader. "Dae Jang Geum" succeeded "Bright Sword", and its ratings broke 3, and then remained at around 4.9 for a long time.
Then Mango Channel's "Wulin Gaiden" also started airing. It also broke 3 on the first day. In the following days, the average ratings remained around 6, ranking first in the same period.
Then the two TV series started to fight tit for tat.
"Dae Jang Geum" has 70 episodes, but it was broadcast first.
"Wulin Gaiden" only has 30 episodes, but he aired it later, so the progress of the two dramas is almost the same.
Every day, countless families quarrel over whether to watch "Wulin Gaiden" or "Dae Jang Geum".
Women generally like to watch "Dae Jang Geum", but both men and teenagers like "Wulin Gaiden". If we look at the status of domestic women in the family, "Dae Jang Geum" is definitely the dominant one.
But strangely, in the Coal Province, Qin Province, and Beijing area, the ratings of "Wulin Gaiden" are rising steadily, with the highest market share accounting for more than 30%.
In Changsha's ratings statistics, Hunan Economic TV has always occupied the first position - Hunan Economic TV has always been much more relaxed than Hunan Satellite TV in broadcasting TV series because it is not a star. Therefore, the ratings of TV series broadcast in prime time in Changsha have always been higher than those of Hunan Satellite TV.
Then "Wulin Gaiden" successfully turned around Satellite TV and finally defeated Economic TV.
On the Internet, the search volume for "Wulin Gaiden" has increased exponentially, and several of the leading actors have become popular. The characters in the play are so distinct that people are discussing it everywhere.
Lü Qinghou: Zi once said~
Bai Zhantang: Sunflower acupuncture hand~
Guo Furong: overwhelming~
Li Dazui: Anyone who has a problem with you has a problem with me. Anyone who has a problem with me has a problem with my uncle. Anyone who has a problem with my uncle has a problem with the court. Whoever dares to have a problem with the court!
Tong Xiangyu: It's wrong, it's really wrong. You shouldn't have married here from the beginning. If you don't marry here, your husband will not die. If your husband doesn't die, Well, if I didn't fall into this sad place, well, if I didn't fall into this sad place, then...
Xing Yusen: I'm optimistic about you. Dear mother!
Yan Xiaoliu: Help me take care of my seventh uncle and his third niece!
Aunt Fan: There is someone above me!
Certainty and affirmation~
True, truer than pearls~
A series of lines quickly became a buzzword, and the witticisms of "Wulin Gaiden" were popular all over the country.
The popularity of "Wulin Gaiden" makes Dong Jianqiang very happy. Star Entertainment has successfully planted its flag in the field of TV dramas.
This is what a good film and television company needs to do, both film and television are flourishing.
Zhang Chen actually doesn't care who wins or loses in the two TV series, as long as the ratings of "Wulin Gaiden" are not bad.
Dong Jianqiang said that several TV stations have approached him to buy the second-round broadcast rights of "Wulin Gaiden", which is another huge profit.
Despite the suppression of "Dae Jang Geum", "Dae Jang Geum" is still a popular cultural phenomenon, with a large amount of discussion on the Internet, even greater than "Wulin Gaiden".
Most of the discussions about "Wulin Gaiden" are about the drama itself, with its humorous lines and interesting personality settings of the characters...
But "Dae Jang Geum" is different, it is like a culture mentioned in many ways.
Korean food has become popular because of "Dae Jang Geum", and many Chinese restaurants have also added Korean dishes.
Some wedding photo studios have launched ‘Dae Jang Geum’ themed wedding photos, and couples taking photos are flocking to them. Then, a familiar scene appeared. Someone seriously posted a blog - why we don’t have our own "Dae Jang Geum".
The blog quoted classics to illustrate one thing: we cannot produce a TV series like "Dae Jang Geum" because our system is unreasonable and our culture is not advanced enough.
However, there are a lot of idiots below who are echoing this, thinking that the author is looking at the world with open eyes.
The more Zhang Chen read the online comments, the angrier he became. They were a group of people without the ability to think independently. He wanted to refute, but felt that they were making a mountain out of a molehill. Finally, he left a message below: I have only one comment on people like you - you can't stand up.
There are many people like this at this stage, who feel that everything abroad is good and everything domestically is dross.
Reflect!
Reflect at every turn, reflect on this, reflect on that!
I feel that our inability to produce such dramas is due to our own problems, and we urge more to introduce them.
But I never thought about whether this would be a cultural invasion.
Haha.
It may not be accurate to say invasion, but "Dae Jang Geum" did open the door to the Chinese TV drama market for Korean dramas.
After that, various TV stations introduced Korean dramas one after another, such as "Full House", "Stairway to Heaven", "My Girl", "Witch Yoo Hee", and the domestic TV drama market was almost occupied by Korean dramas.
Then next year, the General Administration passed a resolution banning the broadcast of foreign dramas during prime time, and then in 2012, this resolution officially became a regulation.
This suppressed the popularity of Korean dramas and laid the foundation for domestic ancient puppets to counterattack abroad.
Zhang Chen is now a celebrity on the blog, and his comments were quickly noticed and sparked a new round of discussion.
The media have reported that some people support the Reflection Party, while others support Zhang Chen.
The discussion on the Internet intensified. Zhang Chen simply wrote a blog called - Open your eyes to see the world
When a TV series became popular, some people asked why we couldn't film it. Historical dramas like "Dae Jang Geum".
Please, why can't we film it?
Isn’t it "Kangxi Empire" and "Yongzheng Dynasty"? Isn't it "Da Ming Gong Ci"?
You are telling lies with your eyes open. You feel that your own culture is a backward culture and that your race is an inferior race. I don’t know what you want to express. Do you want to commit suicide?
"Dae Jang Geum" is just a TV series, about the story of the Joseon Dynasty. The reason why it is popular is actually because of the audience's curiosity.
China regards itself as a celestial dynasty and has always looked down upon its neighbors.
Do you know the history of Vietnam?
Do you know the history of North Korea?
I don’t understand!
So we will feel fresh when watching "Dae Jang Geum", and we will also become curious about their culture.
This is actually easy to understand.
It’s not that there are no good historical dramas in China as you think, it’s just because you know your own culture and history very well.
We all know the stories of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Wu Zetian to some extent, and ancient clothes and food are even more commonplace, so you don’t think this is anything special, but if you put it abroad, will it be the same as " Same as Dae Jang Geum.
Don’t say it’s impossible. When "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" was introduced to South Korea, it caused a much bigger sensation than "Dae Jang Geum" is today in China. Otherwise, why would "the three major TV stations in South Korea have a 'ban on Chinese dramas' , KBS, MBS, and SBS, the three major TV stations, are determined not to broadcast Chinese TV dramas because "Huanzhugege" swept the prime time ratings of the three major TV stations and made them fearful.
This is not me bragging. It's all well-documented. If you're not convinced, you can check it yourself to see if what I said is true.
In addition, I would like to point out that I am not convinced about "Dae Jang Geum". The show itself is not hostile, and even quite appreciative.
The protagonist in the play is flesh and blood, and he is not a virgin. He has revenge and injustice. This character setting is very down-to-earth.
What I really hate are those people who set the pace on the Internet. If you follow the TV series, you can see the sense of superiority. Isn’t it cheap~
If you follow this Logic, then should I be proud of watching "Dae Jang Geum", because if you look closely at the details in it, you will feel that the Joseon Dynasty was really miserable...
Drinking bean sprout soup will feel like a delicacy~
The princess ate sour rice, that’s the princess~
When Dae Jang Geum lost some flour, Dae Nae's guards searched the entire palace~
Look at that palace again, is it really a palace? Not to mention the Forbidden City, even the street gardens in many of our second-tier cities are different. Not even comparable.
Looking at the state banquet again, it really looked like what Teacher Zhao Lirong said about a gathering of elites having a pickle meeting.
If you go to a state banquet, you will definitely ask in confusion when the hot dishes will be served.
In addition, let me talk about a fact that many people may not know. Even now, the watermelon we eat casually in summer is a very expensive fruit in Korea, and it is sold by the piece~< br>
If you tell a Korean that we never eat watermelon rinds here, their teeth will drop in shock. If you tell them that we don’t eat corn cobs, their jaws will drop in shock.
So, don’t think that everything is good from foreign countries. You were born in China, so you just laugh, right?
