Chapter 662 Episode 108 of "My Fair Princess"
No one would have thought that the super ratings myth that was not even completed by "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" would be completed by a Qing palace drama like "Huan Zhu Ge Ge"...
And what’s even scarier is that this isn’t the climax of the plot yet, it’s just the beginning!
…
"Oh my god! These ratings! It's so scary!"
"Why can't I get it? I'll go..."
"My grandma and my mother have become obsessed with "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" and watch it every day at home, twice a day, once in the evening and replayed during the day."
"This drama is really simple and direct, easy to understand, and has profound and difficult-to-understand connotations. It can be understood by all the people in urban and rural areas, men, women, old and young. It is still a palace drama with a comedic tone, and it is too lethal. "
"I'm going to change Chang'an this year!"
"Chang'an's ambition..."
"No, now it's more than just ambition, it's like he has ascended to the throne."
As soon as the ratings for the first dozen episodes of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" came out, the entire Internet world was detonated. Almost every day, blogs discussed this phenomenal TV series.
In addition, there were no popular TV dramas during the same period, so it can be said that "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" shows a unique attitude!
You know, in the past, popular TV series were aired either during the Spring Festival or during the summer vacation. However, "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" did not miss the schedule at all and became a big hit. This is because the main audience of this show did not It won't be affected by this.
Those student parties themselves are not the main audience of "Huanzhugege".
What is even more intuitive is that the heroine of this drama, Li Zhizhi, a newcomer actress from Chang'an Film and Television Company, became famous in Xiazhou overnight!
A real overnight success!
Those lively eyes were remembered by thousands of viewers at a glance.
The number of blog fans exceeded 20 million in a short period of time.
Although Xia Ziwei's story is the main plot of "Huanzhugege", in this national-level TV series, the character of Xiao Yanzi is really outstanding.
Lively and cheerful, chivalrous and righteous, clear about love and hate, dare to love and hate, take revenge when there is hatred, repay injustice when there is injustice, not afraid of authority, and do not follow rules!
She is alert and exquisite in nature, which is completely different from the traditional ancient girl like Ziwei. Ziwei is well-educated and proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Such a female character is obviously not as brilliant as a "deviant" character like Xiao Yanzi.
Under this free and easy character, the audience will invisibly release the pressure.
The director also asked Lin Qiu's opinion about this new actor before making the final decision.
In the industry, there is huge pressure to boldly cast a new actor as the lead, not to mention the director of Chang'an.
When this drama was a hit, it not only hit her brand, but also Chang'an's brand.
Without Lin Qiu's support, it would be impossible to do it.
The most accessible TV drama style is this kind of relaxed, humorous, lively, joyful, and free-spirited work. Therefore, it hardly requires too much analysis. A knowledgeable person can see at a glance why this TV series is so popular with the audience.
Compared with "Huan Zhuge Ge", "The Legend of Zhen Huan", which is also known as a masterpiece of Qing palace drama, has a completely different style, focusing on a harem battle!
Of course, "The Legend of Zhen Huan", which will be released in the summer, is more rigorous and detailed than "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" because it is based on real historical figures. After all, the genre is different.
The details in "The Legend of Zhen Huan" are the kind that no one can analyze for you and you can't even see them. For example, Lin Qiu remembers an episode in which Concubine Hua showed off her jade earrings to the queen.
The queen responded by saying that she had a pair of dongzhu.
Audiences who do not understand the history of the Qing Dynasty will definitely ignore it, but in fact, in history, Dongzhu was extremely rare. Unlike modern times, only the queen and a few people could use it at that time. Even Concubine Hua did not have this qualification.
On the other hand, "Huanzhugege" is basically a fictional story.
Because the character Huanzhugege does not exist in history, there is no question of historical research at all.
…
This is a complete pearl-returning storm!
Whether it’s the popularity of the ending of the first season of “Dragon Ball” or the popularity of this year’s Oscars, they have been completely overshadowed!
Mainly for this year's Oscars, Lin Qiu did not attend, so the popularity in Xiazhou was naturally much less.
From a popularity perspective, Lin Qiu is much, much more popular than Gao Ye Zhiyuan.
During this Oscar cycle, Lin Qiu has two movies in his hands, one is "Batman Begins" and the other is "Frozen."
The former is not that competitive, although there are two nominations.
The latter is almost a lock to win the Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film and the Oscar for Best Original Song for several years.
This animated film is a phenomenal work, and the song "Let it go" also has no suspense. Although these two awards are not grand awards in the traditional sense, they are equally important.
In the past few days before the Oscars, Lin Qiu happened to be filming "Interstellar". At the critical stage, he simply asked the production team leader of Chang'an Animation's "Frozen" project team to attend the Oscars on his behalf.
This year is the last year before a break, so Lin Qiu must strive for excellence no matter what, and try his best to complete the last two movies of this year!
But the absence of Lin Qiu does not mean that other movies and other film and television companies can be secretly happy, because the iron triangle of Changan Film and Television Company has two more people!
Whether it is Ye Zhiyuan's "The Silence of the Lambs" or Zhou Kai's "Avengers" with a box office of over 30 billion, they are the focus of the focus.
And the biggest winner of this Oscar is still Changan, still Ye Zhiyuan! !
Changan, continue to reach a new peak!
You know, in the past life alone, in the history of the Oscars for 70 or 80 years.
Only three films have ever won the so-called five major awards at the same time, Best Picture, Best Screenplay, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Actress.
These three films are "It Happened One Night" in 1935, "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" in 1975 and "The Silence of the Lambs" in 1992, all of which are classic masterpieces.
"The Silence of the Lambs" in this world also completed a sweep of awards, sweeping the five major awards, becoming the first film to sweep the five major awards at the Oscars!
"The Avengers" is a little regrettable. After all, such a film does not have an advantage in the Oscar selection, and only won the Best Visual Effects Award.
Changan Film and Television Company's domination of the film industry continues!
It has become the leader of the entire industry!
In the past few years, it can be said that big-budget movies in major states around the world have been "sniping" Changan, but who knows that the opponents they encounter are more exaggerated than one another. Last year, there was a "Titanic", and this year there is a "Silence of the Lambs". Who can you go to for justice? !
...
"Don't panic!"
"Next year! Next year is our biggest opportunity!"
These film and television company executives who lost at this Oscar encouraged each other and set their sights on next year.
They saw the best opportunity in recent years.
First of all, Ye Zhiyuan did not plan to shoot a new film this year. The reason is very simple. Ye Zhiyuan's wife Xu Xin is pregnant!
Xu Xin wanted Ye Zhiyuan to continue filming new films, but Ye Zhiyuan, who has always focused on movies, refused and chose to stay with his wife and gave up the filming task for this year. After all, starting from next year, Lin Qiu will take a break and retreat behind the scenes.
Zhou Kai's Marvel film is not very competitive in the Oscars, and it depends on Ye Zhiyuan to take the lead in the future, so he will take a good rest for a year and accompany his wife.
The performance of the Marvel series at the box office is unquestionable, but it is not a very competitive award-winning work.
And Lin Qiu...
At least from this "Batman" series, the bosses of these film and television companies did not see any potential for winning awards.
The first Batman is very special, but it is not the kind of work that amazes the whole world. It is said that the second Batman "Batman: The Dark Knight" can sweep the Oscars next year?
They don't believe it.
So after comprehensive analysis, next year is the best opportunity! !
But little did they know that during this Oscar cycle, Lin Qiu had more than one movie to be released, including "The Dark Knight", "The Dark Knight Rises" and the upcoming "Interstellar".
Three movies in one year, who can you complain to?
...
The whole of April and May.
It was all the time for "My Fair Princess".
During this period, there was almost no entertainment work that could compete with the popularity of "My Fair Princess".
This long TV series, which took more than a year to shoot, has a total of 108 episodes!
In the previous life, it was divided into three parts, of which the first and second parts were "My Fair Princess" that many audiences were enthusiastic about and familiar with, with a family-friendly style.
Starting from the third part, the style changed suddenly, and with the replacement of actors, the reputation plummeted.
Lin Qiu once thought about whether to shoot two parts, but after careful consideration, he still took the complete script of the third part, because in fact there was no problem with the plot of the third part. The reason why such a situation occurred in the previous life was the actors first and the audience's expectations second.
The first two parts are comedies, family-friendly works, with a relaxed and happy overall rhythm, but the third part tells about what happened after their marriage, and the theme suddenly becomes much darker.
Xiaoyanzi's miscarriage, Zhihua's appearance, and Erkang's changes are completely different from the style of the first two parts, telling the reality after marriage.
For viewers who watch TV series, they definitely want to live in a fairy tale world and are unwilling to face reality. What's more, the highlight of Huanzhu Gege is the beautiful fairy-tale feelings in it, which is also everyone's expectation for the show.
Many people say that they would rather watch beautiful and touching things than boring reality.
As a result, the third part is all reality, without beauty, which will naturally disappoint everyone.
But in this world, this kind of disappointment will be much less, because the actors are the same and the broadcast is coherent, which is a fundamental difference.
Once the actors are changed, the feelings are gone all of a sudden, just like "Nirvana in Fire 1" and "Nirvana in Fire 2" in the previous life, so when making a TV series, it is necessary to gather the original cast, otherwise the audience's requirements will be infinitely high.
Since it is a complete work, it is impossible to only shoot the happy and entertaining parts for the audience to watch. What's more, the third part of "My Fair Princess" itself is very depressing and frustrating!
In fact, looking at the three parts, the first two are "fake" because they are too fictional and too happy, while the third part truly reflects the appearance of the Qing Dynasty during the Qianlong era.
Famine, corruption, assassination, literary inquisition, war, an old emperor, and court men and women who are sad and happy about their country.
Almost every character is shrouded in a shadow. The prosperous Qing Dynasty, where insects do not grow in the valley, is actually an old empire that is staggering and full of crises.
No matter how happy and happy the people of Huanzhu are, they can't escape the fate of history under such a historical tide.
Huanzhu fever swept the entire Xiazhou, and every household's TV was completely occupied by this work. Two episodes a day, Saturdays and Sundays were broadcast continuously. The content of 108 episodes was broadcast for a full 54 days, nearly two months!
And the audience's public opinion on "Huanzhu Gege" was almost exactly the same as Lin Qiu expected!
Although there was indignation at the destruction of a beautiful story, the overall degree of rejection was far less intense than in the previous life.
Another important reason is that the main audience of this TV series is not actually the audience who will comment on the Internet.
…
"The second half is too depressing! But this kind of Qing Dynasty is the real Qing Dynasty, right? Those who stayed in the Forbidden City will face unimaginable catastrophes later... The palace gates are not paradise."
"Ahhhhhhhh! How beautiful the front is, how heartbreaking the back is! It really continues the style of Lin Qiu and the old thief as always! Damn! Break the defense! Wouldn't it be better to end in the middle?"
"Ah, Xiaoyanzi had a miscarriage, there was a mistress Zhihua, and Erkang washed X, it really ruined the character setting, but it was so realistic..."
"Zhihua is a pure green tea bitch, right?"
"Xiaoyanzi changed from innocent to a resentful woman in the boudoir, the fifth prince changed from gentle and loyal to unfaithful, Lin Qiu once again tore up the fairy tale ending for people to see... This is the result of the old thief's influence?"
"Is it possible that the script of this drama itself has the talent of the old thief..."
"The tone of the second half is completely different from the first half, but it makes sense. The rhythm of the previous "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is also like this. In the second half, it is a kind of desolation and vicissitudes."
"The latter part is not good! Or the front is better! !"
"Give up the fantasy of fairy tales. Just think about it. How can Xiaoyanzi be happy all the time? You know, that is the palace wall of the deep palace! Originally, she yearned for the free and vast sky, but now she is imprisoned in the deep palace. Before, she had Yongqi's preference, but in the long history of Xiazhou, the plot that there is only one person in the royal family who will be together forever is too fairy-tale and unreal."
