Entertainment: Top players who started out as trainees

Chapter 513: Far Ahead! & She is also 30 this year

Throughout the first half of the year, only a handful of costume dramas broke through with their unique "micro-innovations".

For example, "The Son-in-Law", in addition to the "perfect YY" and "always happy" modes of the male frequency, also highlights a very strong comedy element, fully opens up the sinking market, and becomes popular.

I have to say that Guo Qilin is indeed very suitable for this kind of role which is somewhat cowardly.

Tian Mei's "The Imperially Granted Coroner" is also a rare bright spot in the costume dramas in the first half of the year.

It's not a big IP, and the production and promotion costs are quite limited. Except for Tian Mei, the other actors in the main creative team have no traffic at all.

But "The Little Coroner" became popular thanks to its good reputation.

Respect the audience's intelligence and aesthetics, and the audience will not ignore it.

Sometimes it's that simple.

Another costume drama that must be mentioned is the adapted drama "Word of Honor".

The "innovation" of this drama lies in the fact that it really sticks to the edge of censorship and skirts the fine line.

Anything bolder than this won’t pass muster.

Those who are less courageous than it cannot attract so many fujoshi.

This is the most unique aspect of “Word of Honor”.

In addition to costume dramas, urban and sweet pet dramas in the first half of this year have almost all failed.

"Little Farewell" produced by Lemon Film and Television was highly anticipated, but both in terms of playback volume and discussion, it was far from its predecessors "Little Farewell" and "Little Joy".

In "The Golden Years" which was broadcast at the end of last year, seniors Nini and Shishi were very touching, but the plot was too unrealistic.

The flood of sweet pet dramas are almost all produced on an assembly line.

Although there are slight differences in texture between them, the plots are equally old-fashioned, using the old plots of idol dramas from more than ten years ago in their original form, and the industrial saccharin makes people feel nauseous.

"You Are My City Fortress" and "Sito" are the only two modern dramas that stand out.

The former spends a lot of space on the plot, presenting the "workplace" scenes of the male and female protagonists, which dilutes the sweetness of the romance line and also enhances its weight.

The latter combines sweet pet stories with fantasy and suspense elements very well, and the pairing of "strong women and weak men" also refreshes the eyes of many viewers.

At the same time, Da Tiantian is so smooth!
It's hard not to like it.

However, the performance of the main theme dramas in the first half of this year was unexpectedly outstanding.

The two dramas "Mountains and Seas" and "Awakening Age" both scored extremely high 9.3 on a certain platform, becoming the highest-scoring domestic dramas this year, completely reversing the stereotype of the younger generation that "the main theme may not be good to look at."

However, apart from these two dramas, nearly ten main-theme dramas aired in the first half of the year still failed to enter the hearts of young audiences.

This also illustrates a problem.

It’s not that the main theme is inherently ugly, it’s just that too many creators use outdated thinking, aesthetics, and techniques, making the main theme too “old-fashioned”.

Young people of all generations don’t like to be lectured by being pulled by the ears.

This is the current situation in the film and television industry this year, and it is also the problem faced by "Glory".

The generally drastic decline in viewing volume reflects that audiences are bidding farewell to the era of mediocrity in film and television dramas with a swearing and kicking attitude.

If today’s long videos fail to become high-quality and stand out from the crowd, the audience will either watch the show at double the speed or abandon it altogether.

The audience's patience has decreased and their aesthetic standards have increased.

But Ning Luo is actually quite confident.

Firstly, although the core of "Glory" is still the standard idol drama, it is covered with aerospace and e-sports layers, which can be regarded as a bit of micro-innovation.

After all, love is an eternal theme, and BG stories always have a market. The difficulty lies in how to add that 5% of innovation.

So far, the audience’s response has been very good, with attention and expectations going off the charts.

In terms of Douyin data, the number of Douyin fans of the official account of "Honor" has exceeded two million!

Among the videos officially released by the series, the three videos with the highest number of likes all have over 500 million!

These three videos are the dynamic start-up poster, the male lead’s wrap-up clip, and the first release trailer.

In comparison, among all the dramas released this year, there are only a handful of single related videos that have received over a million likes.

However, this is related to Ning Luo's own attention at the supermodel level on Douyin and the official support from Douyin.

The average number of likes for his videos on his Douyin account is around 800 million+.

There is no need to elaborate on Weibo data, such as the number of fans of the official account, the number of fans of the super topic, the number of posts, and the number of views.

Far ahead!

As long as the subsequent episodes are not bad, the results should be very good.

He had already watched the first few episodes of the series. Except for the slightly stronger presence of "Pesticide", the quality of other aspects was very good.

The performance of the director, production team, and actors is still very good.

Next, we just need to carry out the promotion step by step and wait for "Glory" to go online.

At around 7 o'clock in the evening on July 26, surrounded by a group of men carrying lights, microphones and cameras, Ning Luo and Tian Mei were almost kissing each other until they finally heard the words "OK, passed" from Director Zhao.

Ning Luo wiped his mouth and suggested to Tian Mei, who was smiling sweetly beside him, "Let's change to strawberry flavor next time. I've had enough of pineapple flavor."

Tian Mei shook her head: "I don't have strawberry flavor."

"You won't buy it without it, so you want me to buy it for you?"

"???"

Looking at Ning Luo who looked so self-righteous, Tian Mei couldn't help but twitched the corner of her mouth.

Although she didn't mean that.

But then again, shouldn't it be the case that whoever eats it should be the one to buy it?

After giving him a glare, Tian Mei turned and left.

Our idol is good in every way except that he suffers from minor illnesses from time to time.

But for fans, this is cute.

She just happens to be a fan too.

After Ning Luo and the other two bought some midnight snacks, it was already past 11 o'clock when they returned to the hotel.

Tian Mei, who had a ball-shaped hairstyle, was wearing a sleeveless white vest and sports shorts. She was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, watching TV series while eating half a banana in one bite.

Seeing her bulging cheeks, Ning Luo's DNA almost moved.

A few days ago, Ning Luo just gave his room card to Tian Mei.

He said it was to make it convenient for her to come over for a visit, but in fact he was telling her to deliver it to his house.

Unfortunately, the girl pretended to be stupid and came to visit every day, wearing cooler and cooler clothes, but she just had no intention of letting him "visit".

Tsk~
Fortunately, he is just a little anxious now, not that urgent.

This kind of ambiguous feeling is also quite interesting.

It’s a bit like the atmosphere with Sister Wei when filming “Joy of Life”.

It's just the other way around.

Today's midnight snack is still barbecued beer and crayfish.

The taste is very spicy.

This is the most common midnight snack that Ning Luo and his friends eat every summer, basically twice a week.

As for whether eating too much barbecue will kill you.

There is a saying that goes well.

What is bitter first may not be sweet later, but if it is sweet first, it will really be sweet.

Ning Luo casually picked up a piece of pork belly, pinched the fattest piece and stuffed it into Tian Mei's mouth, then put on disposable gloves and started to peel the lobster.

Glancing at the "Glory" that was playing on TV, Ning Luo saw that it seemed to be the second episode. He raised his arm and nudged Tian Mei beside him, and asked casually, "How do you feel? Is it good?"

Tian Mei chewed the greasy pork belly and thought for a moment: "It looks good, but why does Dilireba look so old?"

Before Ning Luo could reply, Tian Mei tutted her tongue twice again: "Oh, yes, she is 30 this year, and she is almost of age."

"..."

Ning Luo couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

　I forgot to thank my godfathers for their monthly tickets! Orz~
