Magic Modified Huayu

At this time, the empress was a reincarnated body, her strength was very weak, and she was sealed by Hong Gou and could not practice.

But Sun Wukong was a genius, so the empress took him in as her disciple and taught him carefully.

Sun Wukong did not disappoint the Empress's teachings. With the Empress's help, his strength greatly improved, and he was determined to help Hua Qiangu enter the Heavenly Palace.

The two of them joined forces and turned the heaven upside down.

The Monkey King, whose fighting power had greatly increased, was no match for the Heavenly Court, so the Heavenly Court was forced to promise to let Zhu Bajie transform into a human and be appointed as Marshal Tianpeng, and Monk Sha be appointed as General Juanlian as long as they could kill Sun Wukong.

In the end, Sun Wukong, who was disheartened by the fratricide, went to the Empress to seek answers. The Empress sighed and told Sun Wukong that this was the real world.

Sun Wukong was devastated and could not bear to see his brothers continue to kill each other. The empress did not force him, so he sealed his cultivation and threw the Ruyi Jingu Bang into the East China Sea, which turned into the Dinghai Shenzhen. He returned to Huaguo Mountain and lived an ordinary life with the monkeys and their grandchildren. Finally, he turned into a stone on the top of Huaguo Mountain.

The empress's second life still failed in her struggle.

Then the cycle continues.

In the third life, the empress really became the empress.

He usurped the orthodox dynasty Li Tang passed down by the Taishang Laojun in heaven.

In this life, the empress's name is Wu Wang.

Three lives and three worlds, fighting against heaven and earth.

Isn’t this better than Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms?

Chapter 76: The Great Wall is coming, the goddess is immortal!

The next day.

Meng Ziyi still asked for leave.

The reason is still fever.

The little girl is always ignorant of the immensity of the world and thinks she can do it all.

Then Director Wei taught me a lesson.

If it happens again, it won’t happen again for the third time. Wei Jun probably won’t do it again next time.

But still no one cares about Meng Ziyi.

Everyone's attention is still on the TV series "The Empress's Quick Travel" itself.

Because the ratings of this drama have increased again.

In fact, this is normal. After all, "The Empress's Journey Through Time" got off to a good start, and the subsequent quality has remained consistent.

In this way, when it comes to the issue of attracting audiences, we can retain the previous audience to the greatest extent possible.

And it turns out that playing with imagination and jokes in TV dramas can also attract audiences by relying on novelty.

In particular, the Empress's actions were really cool, subverting the deep-rooted cognition of many viewers.

For example, the nine-tailed fox is a symbol of good fortune.

After the episode of “The Empress’s Quick Travel Journey” was updated, a history expert quickly came out to explain: “Before the Song Dynasty, the nine-tailed fox was indeed an auspicious image.

After the Song Dynasty, the nine-tailed fox began to become more demonic."

True body?"

"Then why is the nine-tailed fox so afraid of being exposed in the original novel Investiture of the Gods?" The expert's response was similar to Director Wei's: "It's because Xu Zhonglin, the author of Investiture of the Gods, lacks common sense."

Good guy.

Now it is popular to criticize the original author.

But the conclusions given by experts are well-founded.

In this regard, he is definitely more reliable than someone who writes a book.

In addition, the empress gave "The Investiture of the Gods" directly to Tongtian Jiaozhu.

The originally mediocre plot of Fengshen suddenly became interesting.

It adds a bit of anticipation.

After watching the TV series, the discussion about "The Empress's Quick Travel" became more heated: "I won't see Big Ivan blowing up the saint in the Conferred God World, will I?"

"Just wait for the mushroom cloud to rise from the Western Church headquarters."

"The Empress sided with the Shang Dynasty, and the Shang Dynasty under the Zhou Dynasty has changed."

"I doubt the Empress will reform King Zhou."

"What King Zhou? He's clearly the Human Emperor. With the Nine-Tailed Fox helping him, he must be the Human Emperor.

Some audience members have already started to get into the show.

Moreover, there have been so many versions of the Conferred Gods of the Shang Dynasty during the Zhou Dynasty. Suddenly, a story about the Shang Dynasty defying fate and changing its destiny will definitely be more interesting than the original.

Wei Jun originally thought that starting from this episode, the ratings of "The Empress's Journey Through Time" would begin to decline, because he always felt that although "Investiture of the Gods" had a great influence, its audience base should not be as high as Jin Yong's martial arts dramas.

But Wei Jun underestimated his own and Da Mimi's popularity, underestimated Mango TV's basic ratings, and overestimated the strength of his competitors.

Maybe the style of "The Empress's Quick Travel" is indeed not suitable for TV broadcast, but it cannot withstand the weak competitors.

The opponents at the same time were too weak to fight.

This directly makes "The Empress's Journey Through Time" stand out.

Everyone at Mango TV couldn't stop laughing.

Instead, the person in charge of Station A was heartbroken and kept calling Wei Jun: "Mr. Wei, if Station A were the only one to broadcast this drama, it would make Station A at least hundreds of millions."

The person in charge said confidently: "This drama is very popular in our station."

Wei Jun blinked.

Not surprised at all.

The Korean drama "Squid Game" brought Netflix nearly $10 billion in membership revenue.

This doesn't even include the stock price increase. If "The Empress's Journey Through Time" were broadcast exclusively on Station A, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it would bring in hundreds of millions in revenue, but converted into US dollars, it would be less than 100 million.

What the person in charge mentioned may not be direct benefits, but may very well be an increase in valuation.

Director Wei’s previous films had brought in higher returns, and of course, the investment was also higher.

However, this drama did allow Director Wei to gain some experience. The biggest gain was that he realized that online dramas have basically entered a mature stage. Now that he has Station A, he doesn't have to consider TV stations before filming TV series.

In the future, it will be a major trend for online dramas to surpass Taiwanese dramas in quality and influence.

He needs to learn to embrace online dramas.

If you calculate carefully, after 2014, among the domestic dramas that were originally popular, there were more online dramas than Taiwanese dramas.

In terms of investment in TV dramas, online dramas are larger than Taiwanese dramas.

He also has to learn to keep up with the times.

So Director Wei reassured the person in charge of Station A: "Don't worry, 'The Empress's Journey Through Time' has only signed a two-season broadcast contract with Mango TV. The rest will be owned by Station A, and the second season may not necessarily be broadcast on Mango TV."

Even if you sign a broadcasting contract, you can still cancel it.

As long as there is liquidated damages, that's enough.

Of course, it depends on the situation. Some TV stations won’t care even if you pay them liquidated damages.

Mango TV has done this kind of thing.

After Hu Ge's "Hunting Ground" was completed, it was delayed in being broadcast because the producer became arrogant and thought the price of the original broadcast agreement was too low. So the producer directly told Mango TV that it was willing to pay a penalty of 50 million to cancel the original broadcast agreement on Mango TV.

???

Baigong Mango TV can make a net profit of 50 million yuan without doing anything.

Just like that, Mango TV refused.

Because both Mango TV and the producers believe that "Hunting Ground" can make more money.

So the two sides ended up in court.

Then Mango TV won, after all, it was the producer who broke the contract.

The result is a lose-lose situation.

Hu Ge's "Hunting Ground" completely flopped in terms of ratings and reputation.

Mango TV might as well take the 50 million.

Wei Jun thought about it and realized that his current reputation was much more famous than Hu Ge's, and he had no record of failure so far.

Head iron.

I guess if I am willing to pay the penalty for breach of contract, Mango TV will probably do the same, after all, Mango TV is not short of money.

Therefore, the location of the first two seasons of "The Empress's Quick Travel" should not be changed.

The reality was pretty much as he'd expected. After reaching a peak, the ratings for "The Empress's Journey Through Time" began to decline.

Although the filming methods such as nuclear bombs blowing up saints and gunpowder breaking formations were quite cool, the ratings stopped increasing and even fell a bit.

The difference is that the popularity of online streaming platform Station A is getting higher and higher day by day.

The director of Mango TV feels very uncomfortable.

"Director Wei, why is this happening?"

Wei Jun calmly explained, "Because the audience is different, most of the people who watch TV at regular times are middle-aged women. Their acceptance of outrageous antics and memes is not as good as that of family dramas with simple, heartbreaking details.

On the contrary, online streaming platforms attract more young people and viewers who like this kind of plot, so they will search specifically on the Internet.

It's not about quality, it's about universality. "The universality of 'Sweeping Dark Storm' is much higher than that of 'The Empress's Journey Through Time'."

The director of Mango TV was also a professional. After Wei Jun's explanation, he understood and sighed: "It seems that the TV station's ratings are inevitably declining."

"Yes, it's inevitable."

Wei Jun confirmed.

Online broadcasting is a major trend.

So he has to embrace the big trend.

In the future, Netflix's market value will surpass Disney.

It would not be a pipe dream for Station A’s market value to surpass the total of all Chinese film companies.

Never fight against the trend.

"Director Ouyang, I suspect the second season of The Empress's Journey Through Time will be similar, with the online show being the most popular and the TV show being the most excellent.

So, do you want to cancel the show? I have no problem with that.”

Wei Jun took the initiative to say, "The Empress's Journey Through Time" actually has good ratings.

However, the last drama that Mango TV and Wei Jun collaborated on was "Sweeping Dark Storm", which had record-breaking ratings, so Mango TV must have higher expectations for the ratings of "The Empress's Quick Travel Journey".

They are most likely dissatisfied with the ratings.

Director Wei was not wrong.

But Director Ouyangtai has no intention of quitting the show.

same. "

"Director Wei, not only do I not want to quit the show, I also want to renew your contract with you for a few seasons. Director Ouyang laughed: "The ratings of all channels are falling, and this is not your problem, Director Wei.

Besides, if I don't buy your drama, can I guarantee the ratings by buying dramas directed by other directors? Who dares to give me such a guarantee? Director Wei's drama is at least stable, and the ratings won't be too bad. "

Even though "The Empress's Journey Through Time" did not meet their expectations, it still won the ratings championship in the same period without any suspense.

champion!

Then what else does Mango TV need?

You can't be too greedy.

Seeing that Director Ouyang thought so clearly, Wei Jun could only sigh helplessly.

There's nothing we can do about it, we all have brains.

Then we can only share the profits together.
