China Entertainment's My Artistic Career

Chapter 207 Broadcast
After the broadcast was confirmed, the TV station and LeTV soon began pre-broadcast publicity and momentum building.

The IP "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" is so famous. Once it was published in 2006, it aroused the enthusiastic pursuit of countless people. At the same time, it also made this subject a popular online novel. Therefore, as early as the end of last year, Youhua announced that it would be a film and television After it was released, countless readers and fans were eagerly awaiting it.

Now that the TV series has finally come out, there is a lot of cheers on the Internet, and the TV station has also gained a lot of attention with the advantage of broadcasting it first.

On the evening of October 10, after the news broadcast and weather forecast, the first episode of "The Ancient City" appeared on TV amid the eager anticipation of the audience.

boom! ! !
Da da da! ! !
At the beginning of the TV series, there is a scene of Hu Bayi, played by Pan Yueming, wearing a green military uniform and fighting on the battlefield with a submachine gun.

Soon, the battle was won.

But when Hu Bayi was checking the prisoners, one of the prisoners secretly hid a grenade and was about to blow up Hu Bayi. The comrades nearby discovered it in time and rescued Hu Bayi, but he died as a result.

Hu Bayi was discharged from the army.

At this point in the plot, the camera turned and Hu Bayi woke up on the train. It turned out that it was all his memories.

"It looks quite relevant. At least this paragraph is very consistent with the description of the original work." While watching, the audience compared it with the content of the novel in their own memory, and combined with the face of Hu Bayi played by Pan Yueming, they couldn't help but nod slightly in their hearts.

The word "original party" has always been a big problem in the film and television adaptation of novels. As long as a work can shut up the original party, then the reputation of this work will not be too bad.

Then Fatty Wang appeared. The Fatty Wang played by Jiang Chao was very distinctive. He had a lively personality, lively eyes, and a comedian's natural sense of humor when speaking. He also honed his Beijing accent very authentically.

At least in the eyes of non-BJ locals, there is nothing wrong with it. As for Hu Bayi, needless to say, Pan Yueming is an out-and-out BJ person.

After Fatty Wang picked up Hu Bayi at the station, after not seeing him for so many years, he made arrangements to take Hu Bayi to have a good meal - Old BJ's mutton soup.

"Hey, this little restaurant is interesting."

The sun was a little dim, the crowded restaurant and the waiters shouting from time to time made many viewers feel the unique charm of the early 80s.

But before the food was served, they met another important character in the series of stories, Big Gold Tooth.

"Hey, isn't this the stuttering in "Insidious"?"

Da Jinya, played by Cao Bingkun, was wearing a suit when he appeared on the stage. He looked just like Xie Ruolin, whom he played in "Latent". However, the Beijing movie accent quickly made the audience distinguish the two characters as soon as the character spoke. , I have to say that Cao Bingkun's performance is really good. Each character has something unique about him, which allows the audience to easily distinguish the characters, which is great.

The plot continues.

Big Jinya is one of BJ Panjiayuan's gangsters. Not long ago, he defrauded Fatty Wang of his family heirloom at a low price. Now that they met in this situation, it was really a narrow road for enemies. Fatty Wang picked up the wine bottle and wanted to go up. He added a glass tooth to the big gold tooth, but was stopped by Hu Bayi.

The fat man was impulsive and irritable, but Hu Bayi knew how to use his brain. He didn't want to cause trouble just after he came back.

So Hu Bayi stepped forward and threatened him. Da Jinya also knew that a good man should not suffer the consequences of his immediate losses, so he returned the fat man's jade.

It's just that after being around for so long, Da Jinya was not a vegetarian. Early the next morning, he led people directly to Fatty Wang's lair.

If they hadn't discovered that Hu Bayi knew Feng Shui and robbed tombs, and Da Jinya had deliberately made friends with them and asked his men to stop, Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang might have received a beating.

Of course, with the fighting prowess of Hu and Wang, it is very likely that they will counterattack and kill them.
In short, the three of them have become acquainted without fighting. Hu Bayi and Da Jinya chatted happily and exchanged a lot of knowledge about reverse fighting and antiques. Da Jinya also specially gave the two of them a gold-touching talisman. .

However, Hu Bayi felt that it was immoral to fight back and forth and was unwilling to do it. But when he learned that the antique business was profitable, Fatty Wang was tempted.

He advised Hu Bayi that instead of robbing tombs and fighting upside down, they could become second-rate antique dealers.

Hu Bayi, who had retired from the army and had no livelihood, agreed. The two discussed it and thought that Niuxin Mountain, where they were educated youths, remembered that antiquities from the Northern Song Dynasty had been unearthed there. They could go there and have a look to see if they could gain anything.

The next plot is the first tomb robbing plot in "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" - the tomb of the Jin Dynasty general.

The first episode ends here.

The audience in front of the TV really felt that they were still unsatisfied. It seemed that it was over before they had even watched anything, and they couldn't wait for the next episode to be broadcast.

"It's a really good shot."

"Youhua Company did not disappoint."

As soon as the first episode was aired, many people immediately opened Weibo to tell their friends about the show. Keywords such as "Hu Bayi", "Pan Yueming", "Jiang Chao" and "Fat Wang" were instantly used Highly commendable.

Yes, when people from other TV stations saw this situation, they knew that Youhua had succeeded again this time. No, they had never failed before. At worst, they were among the top three in the ratings.

Of course, it’s difficult to correct the harsh words. Even with this level of restoration, there are still a few people who find fault, saying that the actors look too old and do not fit their image; they say that the pace is slow, there is too much nonsense, the plot is dragging, etc.

There was no need for the crew to explain this to them, as the original writers immediately went over to start a fight with them:

"Which book you read told me that Hu Ba was nearly 30 years old as soon as he appeared. You told me how young he should look. If he didn't understand, just shut up and watch your TV."

"If you want to watch idol dramas, you can go to Mango TV. Don't look for criticism here."

"Is it okay to go to the tomb in the first episode and take things out in the second episode? What kind of TV are you watching? Just close your eyes and imagine and that's it. It takes so much work."

Just when the two sides were exchanging words and a new round of war was about to break out, the second episode began. Who could care about them? Just watch TV.

Beautiful ideals are always full, but cruel reality is often skinny.

Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang returned to Niuxin Mountain where they had jumped in line. They wanted to collect some old items and take them back to BJ to sell as antiques, but they did not expect that the items had already been handed over to the state by enlightened villagers.

After hearing this, the two of them suddenly lost their energy. You must know that this time they came to Niuxin Mountain, they had to sell all their belongings to raise enough travel expenses. If they returned empty-handed, they would have no choice but to drink from the northwest wind.

The next day while remembering the past by the stream, Hu Bayi suddenly remembered that the old man in the village once mentioned that there was a deserted forest deep in the mountains called Yerengou, and it was said that there was a Kwantung Army fortress there.The Kwantung Army Fortress was built when the Japs invaded our country, and few people have ever found it. Hu Bayi guessed that since the Japs had stayed in it, there should be a lot of good things there.

So Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang decided to try their luck.

The terrain of Yerengou is complex and inaccessible. The old party secretary was afraid that the two would be in danger, so he sent Yingzi as their guide.

Under the leadership of Yingzi, everyone successfully entered the savage ditch.

In the evening, while Yingzi was looking for firewood, Hu Bayi took out his compass and carefully observed the surrounding terrain. Based on the Feng Shui secrets passed down from his ancestors, he guessed that there might be the tomb of the prince and general nearby.

It was at this moment that a gunshot suddenly broke through the tranquility of the night sky.

Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang rushed over after hearing the sound, and met a somewhat panicked Yingzi. Yingzi quickly explained the whole story to them.

It turned out that when she was collecting firewood here, she accidentally discovered a shack full of dead people.

"Holy shit" watching the plot of the TV series progressing step by step, and more and more key elements of the novel appearing, the audience was a little excited, especially when they saw the Japanese corpse. Everyone felt that the crew's props were well made and they obviously put their heart and soul into them. Yes, so that the audience can guess the state of the corpse instead of relying solely on the protagonist’s verbal explanation. It also feels weird. Normally, there shouldn’t be only bones left after being dead for so many years. Why does it still have a shape? .

But don’t worry about it. If you really understand everything, you won’t be able to watch 95% of TV series.

Here, Hu Bayi confirmed the location of the tomb, which was nearby.

The next day, the two started digging around. Fatty Wang quickly dug up the Tianbao dragon fire glazed roof used to prevent theft in the tombs of the Northern Song Dynasty. At the same time, Yingzi also accidentally fell into the hole dug by the tomb robbers before.

"Damn it, why did it stop as soon as it reached the climax? The director and screenwriter must have done it on purpose."

Regarding the first two episodes of "Jingjue Ancient City" produced by Youhua, external reviews are quite high, including fans of the original novels in the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" series.

The high score of 8.4 on Douban the next day fully illustrates the general public's satisfaction with this film and television work.

Of course, after the next 3 or 4 episodes were aired the next day, the rating dropped immediately and became 8.2.

Of course, this is also played on the LeTV online version. The number of people watching it suddenly increased, and the number of comments increased significantly. It is said that it is difficult to agree with others, right?

In addition, there is also a reason why there is no obvious contrast, just like the beauty of red flowers needs green leaves to set off.

Like the original time and space, the copyright of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is fragmented, so a lot of film and television works have been produced, many of which are purely money-making or laundering, and the quality is appallingly poor.

Because they have watched too many such works, the audience's psychological expectations for the work have been very low. When a well-written and high-quality work is presented, everyone will be satisfied all of a sudden, and the ratings will instantly rise. many.

And now the copyrights of both "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" and "Tomb Raiders" are in the hands of Youhua Entertainment. If they don't produce them here, naturally it won't be the turn of others.

Therefore, the public's eyeballs have not been polluted, and their vision and requirements are naturally different.

Although the ratings of the TV series are still fluctuating, everyone is still quite satisfied with the casting of Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang.

Especially Fatty Wang, Jiang Chao’s casting is really recognized by the audience. First of all, he himself gives people a sense of intimacy. Everyone’s impression of him has always been that of Fatty. The honest and honest character in "The Story of the Cooking Class" The new recruit Xiao Jiang, the sneaky and cunning Li Dazui in "Wulin Gaiden", these characters have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Coupled with his excellent performance, his no-nonsense energy and his loyalty to his friends, that is Fatty Wang himself.

So basically no one raised any objections to this choice.

As for Pan Yueming's Hu Bayi, he had received a lot of doubts before.

But now after watching the main drama, many people are slapped in the face, it is a really sweet scene.

Pan Yueming has changed the impression he gave to the public of being a young boy. His slightly rough face is full of the vicissitudes of the story, which makes people want to know the backside of this character.

At the same time, Pan Yueming did a good job of blending the character's veteran temperament with the urban flavor of growing up in BJ's urban alley.

In him, you can not only see the relaxed and lazy energy of a young man, but also the calmness and indifference that have been baptized by the battlefield, which is extremely convincing.

Therefore, just two days after "Jingjue Ancient City" aired, Pan Yueming, whose career had reached a bottleneck, was already soaring into the sky.

On the evening of October 10, when episodes 25 and 5 were broadcast on TV, LeTV Video also updated episodes 6 and 3 simultaneously. At this time, the previous content had been available for 4 hours, and the number of views directly exceeded 24 million.

What does this data mean? It means that in the past 24 hours, a considerable number of audiences have concentrated on LeTV Video. At the same time, the traffic of other video websites has been suppressed and even reached the lowest point in history. Considering the stickiness of subsequent TV series and current user habits After being committed to a certain product or software, it is not easy to change. The executives of other videos such as Tudou and Youku regretted that their intestines were almost green. They are now facing the listing, and it is exactly when they need this performance. Why didn't they do it in the first place? Bite the bullet and spend more money to get this show.

It's too late to say anything now.

What’s more terrifying than the number of online broadcasts is the TV ratings.

The ratings of "Jingjue Ancient City" can be said to be soaring. It broke 3 on the first day of the premiere, and jumped sharply to 3.6 the next day. The ratings market share of Magic City and Jiangsu Satellite TV was even higher. It has reached a terrifying 20%.

It is equivalent to that during this prime time period, one-fifth of the households across the country who turned on the TV watched "Jingjue Ancient City" on these two satellite TV stations.

This rating makes the TV station very excited. Before, they were a little worried that such a short series would not be effective and end early before it reached the peak of ratings. Now it seems that as long as the show is good, there is really no need to worry about the length.

And this is just the beginning. The TV series has just been launched, and the data and potential have not yet fully exploded. In a few days, when there are more episodes, it will be time to start the gang-slaying mode.

At the same time, they also arranged for people to always pay attention to the direction of public opinion, for fear that other TV stations would be jealous and get in trouble. After all, this subject is still a bit sensitive to be broadcast on TV.

This is also the reason why He Hua and the others chose Magic City TV.

With the broadcast of episodes 5 and 6, the last member of the Golden Triangle, Shirley Yang played by Li Bingbing, officially made her debut.
