The Wind of China Entertainment 2005

Chapter 758 Devastated
January 1, Harbin.

Heilongjiang TV Station was previously located in Nangang District. In order to adapt to the development needs of the all-media era, it has been gradually moved to Songbei District since last year.

At this moment, Deputy Director Liu Ning was holding a cup of hot tea and looking at the white snow scene outside the window.

Perhaps the winter in Harbin is beautiful in the eyes of many southerners, but as a native local, I just feel that it is the same every year and extremely boring.

There are few vehicles on the road and the driving speed is slow.

Liu Ning's eyes moved slowly, and he saw several children with schoolbags chasing each other under the trees on both sides covered with rime.

They were wearing thick cotton coats, cotton pants, hats, gloves and scarves, and were swaying like penguins.

A child hanging at the back accidentally fell on his butt, but he got up nonchalantly, patted his butt and continued on his way.

A sinister smile appeared on Liu Ning's absent-minded face.

"lead!"

At the side, Zhang Chengdong, the deputy director in charge of the TV drama section, saw that he was distracted and called out to him.

"Well, go on, I'm listening."

As Liu Ning spoke, he took out his cell phone and checked the time.

There are still ten minutes until the premiere data of "The Cliff" is released.

Zhang Chengdong thought to himself, what the hell are you listening to? I’m not blind. He complained in his mind, but because of his status, he continued to report honestly.

"The Cliff" Douban scored 9.6, and the online feedback was good."

"Except for the slightly slower pace, the vast majority of the audience approved of Lu Yuan's performance as Zhou Yi. He wore a suit, a hat and gloves, a winter leather coat, and a khaki windbreaker. From the moment he appeared on the screen, Zhou Yi exuded masculine charm, exuding elegance and foreign style. I think this is another classic spy role after Yu Zecheng and Liu Xinjie."

"However, Song Jia's role as Gu Qiuyan is controversial."

"Oh?" Liu Ning turned around.

"Song Jia's acting is OK. Her acting skills are among the top five among the female stars born in the 1980s."

Zhang Chengdong said helplessly, "It's mainly caused by the fans of "Hidden". The fans of "Hidden" are used to showing off in the spy war drama section. Even if Lu Yuan is the lead actor, they won't buy it. In the eyes of the fans, Lu Yuan doesn't understand "Hidden" at all. Only the fans of "Before the Dawn" can compete with him."

"Now that Cliff Dash has been aired, the fan base is very small. And since it and Hidden Cam share the same fake couple model, it's inevitable that they will be compared. Some fans of Hidden Cam even said that Cliff Dash was plagiarizing."

Liu Ning was speechless. He picked up the teacup and took a sip, motioning him to continue.

"The audience generally agrees that both Gu Qiuyan and Cuiping are very immature, but they feel that Gu Qiuyan's immaturity is more of a rashness. In the first two episodes, her inexperience and lack of discipline not only angered Zhou Yi in the play, but also annoyed many viewers. She was questioned as being inconsistent with her trained professional character."

"I'm still too impatient." Liu Ning closed the window completely, leaving a slight gap.

"The character of Gu Qiuyan needs to grow slowly and pay attention to her character arc, but she can also understand the audience's emotions. Fortunately, there is Lu Yuan to keep her in control."

In his opinion, "The Cliff" is a profound spy war drama, which is profound in that it is not only about spy wars, but also explores the choice of faith in troubled times.

Zhou Yi shoulders the heavy responsibility of his country and is determined to complete the task even at the cost of his family affection. Gu Qiuyan's transformation, from willfulness to awakening, reveals how ordinary people forge their faith in blood and fire.

When he watched the sample film, he was obsessed with it.

Zhang Chengdong continued: "Yes, Lu Yuan's reputation has given the audience the patience to wait."

After saying this, he paused.

"After preliminary statistics, we are the most mentioned among the four satellite TV stations. According to the news from the Tourism Bureau, netizens are very interested in traveling to Harbin at the end of the year."

"."

After Zhang Chengdong finished his work report, he closed the door and left.

After Liu Ning returned to his desk, he placed his phone on the table, intending to find something to distract himself.

Although he appeared very calm just now, he had to admit that he did not sleep well last night.

He thought he wouldn't be too anxious. After all, Lu Yuan's achievements on the small screen were obvious to all, and "The Cliff" was the other party's monopoly field.

But the TV station is under too much pressure.

Among the four satellite TV stations broadcasting the drama, Heilongjiang Satellite TV is at the bottom of the second tier and hovering around the third tier. In order to obtain the first round broadcasting rights of this drama, it paid 100 million yuan, which can be said to be selling everything it has.

He paid attention to the comments online when the show aired last night, and the issue of the slow pace was mentioned repeatedly.

No matter how confident he was in Lu Yuan, he still felt uneasy and had all sorts of wild thoughts in his mind. What if Lu Yuan failed this time? If "The Cliff" was not well broadcast, he would be criticized.

Just as I grabbed the mouse, my phone dinged.

Based on the sound, he knew it was Weibo, and there were only a few people on his Weibo follow list.

He picked it up immediately and found it was PPS.

PPS: [A great success, "Cliff" broke the record, with 2.03 million hits in two episodes and over million views for a single episode! ]

The two episodes have received 2.03 million hits, and the single episode has exceeded million views?
Liu Ning was shocked. If there was no problem with his memory, this data would be even higher than that of "My Love from the Star" in August last year!

Isn't it generally reflected that the pace is slow?

Looking at the comments again, it turns out that the silent ones are always the majority!
"Ding Ding Ding!"

The expected incoming call contact finally appeared.

"Hey, hurry up and tell me!"

"Liu Tai, No. 1"

"."

Liu Ning hung up the phone, his tense nerves relaxed, he slumped back on the chair, and slowly exhaled.

Won!

He waved his fist, uncharacteristically.

The ratings for the premiere of "Cliff" are out. The ratings of the four satellite TV stations on the night of the premiere were all among the top five in the country, and the market share remained the first in the country.

Last night, "The Cliff" attracted the most prime-time TV drama viewers. According to the proportion, at least one out of every three viewers who watched the opening drama of the year during the prime time was watching "The Cliff". It can be said to be the most powerful spy drama to open the year in 2014!

Among the four satellite TV stations, Heilongjiang Satellite TV ranks first in terms of share.

The TV station's efforts in this drama are worth it, using the news broadcast to advertise and create topics
Liu Ning thought of a lot of things at once. "The Cliff" had a successful start, so will the subsequent performance continue to rise?
As we all know, even a big name like Lu Yuan can only play a role in calling on everyone to watch the show in the early stages of promotion. Whether a show can go far depends not only on the fans of a certain actor, but also depends on the specific plot.

If "The Cliff" becomes more and more popular, then since Zhou Yi eventually dies and there is no chance to shoot a sequel, is it possible to reach a cooperation with Yuanfang Media and bring "The Cliff" to the big screen?

What should the movie be called?
"Under the Cliff", "Top of the Cliff", "Above the Cliff" or simply "The Cliff".
If the plan is confirmed to be feasible, who should be the director? Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Wen Muye, or Lu Yuan who will direct and act in the film himself.

Will Lu Yuan agree?
After the broadcast of "The Cliff", the Lu Yuan effect immediately emerged, triggering a "spy war frenzy".

With its cool tone and deep style that rivals those of blockbusters, as well as the professional support of a group of actors, "The Cliff" instantly became a rare conscientious work in the hearts of the audience.

As the plot develops, the audience gradually puts aside their impression of Lu Yuan, the king of spy warfare, and truly enters the plot.

Many viewers came for different purposes, some simply to support Lu Yuan, some to find fault.

After watching a few episodes, the group of people all discovered that "The Cliff" was a spy drama with a full sense of reality, different from the slutty dramas on the market.

It pioneered the "literary spy war drama". Spy war became a popular genre starting with "The Counterfeiter", followed by "The Hidden" and "Before the Dawn". Before "The Cliff", spy war dramas conquered the audience with strong plots, high density, IQ competition and risky moves.

Especially "Before Dawn", the pace is so fast.

"The Cliff" slows down the pace of the plot and does not pursue brain-burning puzzles. It delves into the spiritual world of agents who are in danger all year round.

Belief may be the spiritual pillar to persevere, but it cannot restrain emotional trauma and inner fear. The most touching thing is the feeling of entanglement that has nowhere to be released and cannot be relieved.

It abandons the halo of the protagonist, exposes the fragility and mistakes of the agents, and tells the bloody rules of survival in spy warfare.

For example, Gu Qiuyan sent messages twice at will, almost exposing the organization.

The old agent Sun Yuejian's "indulgence" actually allowed her to grow at the cost of sacrifice.

This "imperfection" and "rashness" made Gu Qiuyan feel unsatisfactory at first.

But after really watching it, the audience will feel a strong sense of immersion. The agent is not Superman, and every step he takes may lead to the abyss.

The most breathtaking part is the psychological tug-of-war between the villain Gao Bin and the undercover Zhou Yi.

Gao Bin, played by Cheng Yu, is the head of the secret service of the Puppet Manchukuo Police Department and is by no means a stereotypical villain.

He is meticulous and can smell danger from an insignificant conversation, and even associate the word "chi" in a book with undercover clues.

When he mentioned the torture of "cutting off the kneecap" lightly, but chatted with Zhou Yi about family matters in a gentle tone, this contrast engraved the "cruelness" into his bones.

Zhou Yi, played by Lu Yuan, is equally heartbreaking for his forbearance.

Surrounded by wolves, he appeared calm on the surface, but inside he was walking on thin ice.

Faced with the emotional entanglement between his wife Sun Yuejian and his fake wife Gu Qiuyan, he must restrain himself. Faced with Gao Bin's temptation, he needs to use silence to cover up his fear.

Fortunately, Lu Yuan has a solid acting foundation, like still waters with deep currents. With just one look or the trembling of lighting a cigarette, he fully displays the loneliness and depression of the agent.

"The Cliff" took over the momentum of being ranked among the top five in the national ratings on all four satellite TV stations on the night of its premiere, and its market share remained firmly in the top spot in the country, and its growth is getting stronger and stronger!
In this situation, word of mouth began to ferment, and netizens spontaneously started discussions on Weibo, Tieba, Zhihu and other major platforms.

At the same time, the ranking order of "Insidious", "Before Dawn" and "Cliff" has become a hot controversial topic.

Fans of several dramas are fighting each other.

How could Weibo miss this opportunity, so it repeated its old trick and once again launched a voting campaign for your favorite spy character.

Yu Zecheng, Liu Xinjie, Zhou Yi, the three undercover agents, fought each other under the guidance of their respective fans until their anus were bleeding.

PPS is not willing to lag behind and takes advantage of every opportunity.

In the recommendation column on the homepage, posters of "Insidious" and "Before the Dawn" were released, and both achieved good playback data, which is higher than the data of new dramas of several other video networks.

IQiyi, Tencent and others can only stare in envy as they do not have the copyright.

The major TV stations that missed the chance to win the first round broadcasting rights for "The Cliff" have all come up with N-hand versions of "Insidious" and "Before the Dawn".

For a time, spy war dramas became a big hit in the market.

The other big dramas that opened the year in 2014, "Love Apartment 4", "A Generation of Heroes" and "Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties 3" were completely powerless to compete!
After two years, the king of spy wars returns with as much power and momentum as ever, and dominates the small screen once again in January like a landslide.

Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan, it’s all Lu Yuan!

January 1, the crew of "Dear".

Liu Shishi and Jing Tian, ​​who came to visit the set, were chatting and laughing in a corner.

Several popular movies during the Lunar New Year holiday basically made it to the end.

"Personal Tailor" has just climbed over the 7 million box office threshold, and the daily box office is only about one million, which is basically certain to miss the 8 million box office.

"New Police Story 2013", starring Cheng Long, Jing Tian, ​​Liu Ye and others, also received mixed reviews and took in 18 million in 5.1 days.

This is the highest-grossing movie in which Jing Tian plays the leading role since her debut.

Therefore, Jing Tian, ​​who was in a good mood, came to visit the set happily. When Liu Shishi talked about Lu Yuan's original intention of filming "Dear", Jing Tian was very supportive and hated human traffickers.

"Sister Shishi, have you ever heard of such a case?"

"What case?" Liu Shishi's nose was sweating, and he stuck out his tongue, flapped his hands, and fanned himself: "The spicy noodles you brought today are so spicy, hiss."

"My fans sent me recommendations, saying this brand is super spicy." Jing Tian handed over the mineral water with a smile.

“It’s also a case of trafficking.”

"Um, you say." Liu Shishi held the water and took a few gulps. Her eyes turned quietly to Lu Yuan who was filming, worried that she would be discovered.

"It was said that there was a 16-year-old girl who had just finished the college entrance examination and planned to go to the city to work and earn some pocket money during the summer vacation. However, after searching around, she failed to find a job as she wished. When she was about to buy a bus ticket home, she found that her wallet was missing."

"The wallet contained not only all the cash she had but also her ID. Just when she was anxious and helpless, a woman in her thirties came over and asked her what was wrong. The girl was naive and told the other person her experience and her home address. The woman in her thirties said they were from the same hometown and took her to buy tickets."

"And then he was kidnapped?"

"Hey, listen to me." Jing Tian took out a spicy strip from the unpacked strips, stuffed it into her own mouth, and handed the rest over.

"On the way, the two of them had a great conversation, and the more they talked, the closer they became. After the car drove for a while, they soon arrived at the county town where the girl was from. After getting off the car, the 30-year-old woman was reluctant to leave, and suggested that the girl accompany her to the county town to visit her uncle, and then send her back to town. The girl agreed."

"It turned out that the so-called uncle was a human trafficker. The 30-year-old woman was negotiating the price with the trafficker, and the girl heard it."

"After they negotiated a price, the woman said she had some friends who could help the girl find a job so that she could leave on her own. The girl was quick-witted and told the woman that she had three sisters who were also eager to find jobs. The woman was overjoyed and agreed to let her go back to town and let her inform the other three sisters."

Liu Shishi interrupted again: "So she managed to escape from the traffickers?"

"Of course, the little girl originally planned to go home immediately and report to the police with her parents to let the hateful human traffickers get what they deserve, but the more she thought about it, the angrier she got."

"At this moment, a one-eyed man on the street caught her attention, so she suddenly had an idea and told the man that she knew a beautiful woman in her 30s who could be introduced to him as his wife for a few hundred yuan as an introduction fee."

"Then the girl dragged the trafficker to the home of a one-eyed man who pretended to be her sister's father. The woman was alone and weak facing the one-eyed man, and she could not get any help from heaven or earth."

"Well, God has his way. No one can escape from this. It's what he deserves!" Liu Shishi clapped her hands and then asked, "What happened to that woman?"

"Uh." Jing Tian said nothing, staring behind her.

Liu Shishi realized what was happening and turned around, only to see her boyfriend staring at her expressionlessly. She carefully handed him the last spicy strip in the bag.

Lu Yuan pushed it away in disgust.

He didn't mind Miss Liu eating spicy strips, but he felt traumatized.

Once, the two of them had an argument, and this silly girl was clearly in the wrong, but she still sulked for the whole afternoon. When he came back, he took her to bed and coaxed her. This girl was proactive, but he didn't know if she was deliberately being mean. She ate spicy strips without rinsing her mouth, and when they were fighting, she made a noise, which made him feel hot and horny all night. He almost went to the hospital for emergency treatment.

He said: "Later, the girl's parents called the police, and the police discovered that the one-eyed man was also a human trafficker. To be more precise, he was the second in command of the traffickers. After embracing the woman, he sold her to a man in the neighboring village as his wife."

"What a coincidence?"

Liu Shishi wiped her mouth and changed the subject: "How did you know?"

"Wen Baobao learned about this case when he was perfecting the script for Dear. Initially, the girl was to be sentenced, but the second trial considered that she was still young and was motivated by revenge rather than money, and that she had also made meritorious contributions, so they decided not to sentence her and instead criticized and educated her."

"Oh!" Liu Shishi puffed out her cheeks and said hurriedly when she saw the dog looking at the spicy strips in her hand again.

"By the way, let me tell you a piece of news. After the news that your great actor Lu went to pay his respects to Mr. Li was reported earlier this month, iQiyi has just officially decided to take over Xiao Ma Pentium's investment share in The Crossing."
