China Entertainment's My Artistic Career

Chapter 76
On March 3, "Latent" was officially broadcast.

Thanks to the popularity of He Hua during this period, many people know about this drama.

Moreover, this year's domestic TV drama market has experienced a two-year boom in 05.06, and is now a little weak. Only "Soldier Assault" can hit a few new dramas, but it is still accumulating word-of-mouth on the terrestrial channel rotation, waiting to explode.

"Latent" appeared at such a node, and many viewers turned their attention to it.

"Latent" did not disappoint them either, with its novel plot and fast pace.

At the beginning of the story, Jiang Wei's careful design of light effects, tone, and color tone brought a strong sense of depression to the audience, and fully reflected the particularity of the work of the not-so-handsome man with glasses on the screen.

From here, grab the audience's attention and bring them into the film's story beat:

Li Haifeng, the "password book" of the military command, defected

My girlfriend appeared at the surveillance target's home

Letting the target go but being seen through by his boss

The boss received the task but was killed by his own people

The suspense appeared and was unraveled one by one, making the audience worry about the protagonist with their hearts raised in their throats from time to time, and happy to overcome difficulties from the protagonist's perspective.

At the end of the first quarter, the commercial time is up, and the audience in front of the TV is talking and discussing:
"Who is this actor playing Yu Zecheng? I haven't seen it before."

"I don't know either, probably not very famous."

A middle-aged couple was discussing after watching the first episode. Their son came back from the water and hurriedly interjected:

"I know, I know, it's called Xin. Xin. What's the matter with Xin? Let me think about it. By the way, it's called Xin Baiqing."

Dad asked him curiously: "How do you know?"

The boy replied proudly: "I have seen He Hua's interview, and they have been on the show together."

The boy's father took a pat on his ass and reprimanded him:

"If you don't have anything to do all day, you can watch TV, and you can't read too many books. If you have this skill, you will be the first in the grade early."

The boy pouted, unconvinced but did not dare to talk back.

Soon the second episode began, and the director gave the audience something cool at the beginning:

Yu Zecheng succeeded in assassinating the traitor Li Haifeng alone

But what happened afterwards allowed Yu Zecheng to see through the corruption within the GMD. Senior military officials even provided food and grass to the Japanese army for their own property.

Yu Zecheng was assassinated by traitors in a trance, but fortunately he was rescued by ZG personnel.

Thanks to Lu Zongfang, nostalgia for Zuo Lan, and disappointment with GMD, Yu Zecheng leaned towards ZG and began to work for ZG.

These two episodes are just a taste of faith, so the audience just feels that the show is pretty good, but it hasn't reached the point where they have a strong desire to follow the show.

However, the current ratings also make the four big TVs quite satisfied:
That night, the average ratings of the four major TVs started broadcasting reached 0.94, the highest being BJ Satellite TV at 1.72, and the lowest being Chongqing Satellite TV at 0.58.

It stands to reason that the ratings of TV dramas without the blessing of big stars will not be too high at the beginning of their broadcast, such as the previous "Wulin Biography" and "Soldier Assault".

But "Latent" relied on He Hua's influence to directly kill it. Among the TV dramas broadcast from 22:19 to 30:21 in the evening in 30 cities across the country, "Latent" broadcast by BJ Satellite TV ranked first, and Dragon TV and Jiangsu Satellite TV occupied the third and fourth positions.

Even He Hua, who had already had psychological expectations and knew that the show would be fine, couldn't hide his excitement when he received the notice: "The time and place are right and the people are right, the ratings of this show will explode!"

Yes, this is just the beginning.

Time is like a wild donkey, it can't stop when it runs, and "Latent" has been broadcast for ten days, which is when "Little Chef" started filming.

There are two episodes a day, and the middle is suspended for two days because of the weekend. Now "Latent" has been broadcast to No. 15 and [-] episodes.

Before that, Cuiping and Yu Zecheng, who came from the countryside and had no education or undercover training, pretended to be husband and wife. Because of their conflicting personalities, they made a lot of jokes, which made the audience in front of the TV very happy.

However, Yu Zecheng's thinking has changed a lot after a series of events. He deeply felt the power of faith from Lu Zongfang, Li Kenong, Qiu shopkeeper, Zuo Lan and even Cuiping.

They are not doing things for personal power or money. They really believe that there is a socialist belief that can save China. For this socialist belief, they can dedicate themselves without reservation, even if they lose their lives.

This man, who used to only know faith in love, has true faith and has become a proletarian soldier.

When the plot is here, the audience in front of the TV has been deeply attracted by this TV series. As long as it is not a weekend, every night, they will sit quietly in advance and wait to watch the latest episode, for fear of missing the plot.

Therefore, the ratings of "Latent" also continued to rise.

Now even Chongqing Satellite TV, which had the lowest ratings before, has squeezed to the fifth place in the country.Other satellite TVs have already taken off.

BJ TV 2.87
Dragon TV 1.72
Jiangsu Satellite TV 1.65
For a while, the media rushed to report on this drama:
"Listen to the thunder in the silent place, another pinnacle of the spy war drama, and the new year's big drama "Latent" set off a frenzy of cleaning up"

"Xin Baiqing and Zhu Yuanyuan jointly perform an alternative undercover couple"

"Loyalty comes from faith - Yu Zecheng"

The show became popular, and Jiang Wei took Xin Baiqing, Zhu Yuanyuan, Zu Feng, Wang Kai and other actors to wander around the major shows and accept interviews from the media.

Voices discussing this drama can be seen everywhere on the Internet, blogs, and forums:

"This is the way spy war dramas should be shot. I've seen enough of the perfect protagonists. This is the right way to shoot."

"Zhu Yuanyuan's rocking bed made me laugh so hard, suddenly speed up and then let go, the director understands too well!"

"After Zuo Lan's death, Yu Zecheng read the part of "Serving the People" and I really cried. I was so sad. Xin Baiqing's acting is really good, and the lines are also good. How did such a good actor appear?"

He Hua's blog has long been hacked, and some fans are eager to know the follow-up plot:

"I like the hero and heroine so much, did they end up together?"

Those who praised He Hua:

"This script is awesome, Hua Zi can do it. I underestimated you, and I will work harder next time."

Someone else came over to make fun of:

"No wonder it was praised by the People's Daily. This is a thorough study of communism!"

However, He Hua didn't reply, and directly posted the exemption card on the log:
"During the creation of novels, there will be no business."

But he didn't write at home, he had already gone to the crew of "Little Chef".

From the beginning, he participated in the script reading, and now he is watching the set every day. He is not sure whether the current Zhang Kaizhou can shoot the style he wants.

The popularity of "Latent" these days has made these newcomers and young actors envious, but they are full of energy while envious.

After all, He Hua also wrote the script of "Little Cook", maybe they will be the next hit drama!
