Poverty alleviation variety show goes to the countryside, my talent can no longer be hidden

Chapter 523 Hemorrhage

After watching two consecutive episodes, Liu Bei felt dizzy.

She has watched many dramas, but this one gives her the most special feeling.

You may say it's bad, but its plot and some of its shot designs are indeed very skillful.

But if you say it's good, there are always some weird shots and content in the middle, and there are obvious signs of water injection.

The whole process of watching it is like eating a mixture of a box of chocolates and Olegay with your eyes blindfolded. You never know what the next spoonful will be...

But when she opened Weibo and entered the super topic square of "The Undocumented Crime", she found that she was not the only one who felt this way.

"No, is this drama really filmed by Liu Wei? Why does it feel so weird?"

"I also noticed that the quality of the first two episodes was a bit spicy!"

"To be more precise, the quality fluctuates... Some parts are still at Director Liu's normal level, but some content is so bad that it's impossible to watch."

"Yes, yes, that's right, I feel the same way. The quality gap is too big!"

"Fuck, everyone feels the same way. I thought I was just being too demanding!"

"I have a feeling that this film doesn't seem to be shot by the same person, or maybe Director Liu has schizophrenia."

"The quality of the first two episodes is totally incomparable to 'Day and Night'!"

"I was originally planning to get a membership to follow her, but now I don't want to follow her anymore, it's too bad."

"What a pity for Guo Chen's acting skills, oh."

"Indeed, the better he acts in this kind of film, the sadder it makes people feel."

"It's broken. Teacher Zhou's 100% quality rate won't be broken here, right?"

Negative reviews are not only reflected in the comment sections of major social media, but are also reflected in the platform scores.

After the first two episodes were aired, "The Undocumented Crime" only received a score of 8.8 in Penguin Video's own rating system.

You should know that the final score of "Day and Night" two years ago was 9.6!
A large part of the score of "The Undocumented" actually comes from the impression points accumulated before, which is very inflated.

In other words, the actual ratings of the first two episodes of this drama may even be lower than 8 points!
This situation can be said to have surprised the entire industry.

I thought the title of the web drama king this year would have been decided long ago, but after all this time... is this it?
A group of screenwriters and producers who were holding manuscripts and preparing to "pay tribute and imitate" shook their heads in disappointment.

And those colleagues in the online drama circle were celebrating - we did it again!

The next night, episodes three and four were aired on time.

In these two episodes, there are more watered-down content, and there are several obvious advertisement placements...

What followed were a lot of complaints and negative reviews.

After only two days of airing, word of mouth is already showing signs of collapse.

After watching these four episodes, even Zhou Hao himself couldn't hold it anymore.

The way they eat this movie is really ugly, and the overall quality is even worse than the previous time I watched the movie!
Even if you want to inject water or product placement, at least wait until later. If you do it like this right at the beginning, the audience retention rate will collapse immediately, right?

In fact, in a horizontal comparison, the overall quality of this drama cannot be considered very bad...it's mainly because its peers are really too bad.

But the problem is... everyone's expectations for it are not just to be better than its peers, but to inherit the legacy of "Day and Night" and become a new benchmark for suspense web dramas!

If we judge it by this standard, then this drama obviously does not meet the standards.

After seeing this, Zhou Hao could understand why Liu Wei was determined to leave Shanhai and join Jinghong.

The speed at which Shanhai Film and Television has fallen is simply jaw-dropping. Another company that has also fallen is Blueberry TV.

Because of the previous hits, they have 100% confidence in the original team of "The Undocumented"!
So this time, the station was willing to pay a high price to buy the simultaneous premiere rights.

As a result, after the show was aired two days ago, the real-time ratings were not just unsatisfactory... they were simply a bloodbath!
Matching the ratings are the negative reviews flying all over the internet.

Everyone can see that this drama is going to fail!
On the third day, "The Undocumented Crime" was officially released on V.

What makes everyone speechless is that it is already the fifth episode and the progress of the case is still almost stagnant.

To quote a netizen’s sharp comment: in every episode, these police officers seem very busy, but after watching them, they still have no idea what they are busy with. They are just like headless flies.

Faced with this kind of maliciously watered-down plot rhythm, the audience will naturally vote with their actions.

On the first day of V, the audience conversion rate was only 28.6%... not even %!
If you just look at the data itself, it may not be that bad.

After all, these days, online dramas with conversion rates in the single digits are making a lot of money.

However, as a comparison, the conversion rate of "Day and Night" was as high as 43%.
The conversion rate of Nirvana in Fire was a terrifying 60%...

In comparison, the ratio of "The Undocumented" is seriously not good enough!

Even more tragic data comes from the increase in new members.

Three days after the show aired, it only brought less than 30,000 new members to Penguin Video...

This increase is almost less than the initially expected lead!
After all, when Nirvana in Fire was popular, the number of new members was based on hundreds of thousands...

If all the data collapses, then it cannot be explained as an accident. The only explanation is poor quality.

But even if we know the crux of the problem, we cannot admit it casually.

Just find a reason to pass the buck.

Navy, move out!
"I am so disappointed with this script. Teacher Zhou has run out of ideas!"

"It's only been less than two years, and Director Liu's decline is too obvious, isn't it?"

"In fact, we shouldn't continue to shoot suspense films. The popularity of this genre has almost been squeezed out."

"The problem obviously lies with the script. All I can say is that Shanhai and Penguin have done their best."

"Please stop bragging about your 100% hit rate. It's embarrassing, isn't it?"

“It turns out that deifying someone is not advisable.”

"Now I understand why he switched to Youying... With the quality of the script, I would have run away too. He didn't write it with his heart!"

Seeing the arguments of this group of internet trolls, not to mention Zhou Hao’s fans, even many neutral spectators couldn’t stand it anymore.

"No, buddy, have some shame, do you really think we haven't heard the original story of "The Innocent"?"

"How dare you blame the script? It's obviously a problem with the filming and editing!"

"I don't know who randomly added water to the film. The plot is too obviously fragmented. This is definitely not the real 'Undocumented Crime'!"

"You said Mr. Zhou has run out of ideas. Why don't you read Those Years first?"

"That's enough. Those Years is not good either. It's so long-winded that I don't know what it's talking about."

"It's rubbish. I wasted three months of membership!"
