I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 815: "Cang Lan Jue" begins

Cao Dun is not very good at scheduling large scenes, but it doesn’t matter. With the addition of another director, Zhang Peng, the problem was solved perfectly.

Zhang Peng was previously responsible for the action stunts in films such as "Kingsman: The Secret Service" and "Ant-Man", as well as the visual effects of "X-Men 3: The Last Stand". His advantages in large-scale scene scheduling and production have made up for Cao Dun's shortcomings.

And the two had previously collaborated on "Peace Boat"...

The Peace Boat, starring Chen Kun and written by Feng Ji, smashed CCTV's ratings...

Feng Ji is very famous, with many representative works: "Fire Blue Blade", "The Eternal Number", "The Magic Dog", and the movie "Operation Red Sea", for which he is also the number one screenwriter!

However, the script of "Peace Boat" is too bad...

Of course, being chosen by Pukun is also a kind of fate!
This time, the screenwriter of "Westward Anxi" is Shen Liang...

And he's the only one!
Liang Ge is very famous in the screenwriting circle: his representative TV series "Want to See You" has a Douban score of 9.2 points, the movie "A Sun" has a Douban score of 8.8 points, and "Love Like a Bouquet" has a Douban score of 8.7 points...

He was the first screenwriter for "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" and "The Beast Clawing at Straws".

However, starting with "New Journey", he rarely wrote his own scripts, and didn't care much about the right to authorship...

"Keep You Safe", "Annual Meetings Can't Stop", "Silent Killing" including the National Day release, also produced by Shen Liang Studio and directed by Xu Hongyu "Hidden Heaven"...

The script of "The Hidden Sky" has bugs, it is purely a reversal type.

The director needs to have strong rhythm and editing skills.

Xu Hongyu is the editor...

Directed "Home at One Point".

In fact, he is a talent discovered by Chen Kexin...

It doesn’t matter, we are all Chinese filmmakers!
Oh, Shen Liang gave up signing all these works.

From this we can also see that he still attaches great importance to "West of Anxi".

However, no matter how much importance we attach to it, during the filming, we completely followed the director's opinions without any compromise!
I guess Jackie Chan will brag again...

……

"I also want to have a good role for my twenties... When I was a teenager, I really liked fairy-tale and ancient idol films. If I have the chance to act in one myself, I will definitely not give up! Every generation has its own fairy-tale idol, just like I like Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Linger. I also hope that the boys and girls born after 10 will like Dongfang Qingcang!"

"Cang Lan Jue" aired...

Shen Liang responded to the question of why he starred in an ancient idol fantasy drama in the live broadcast room.

"The original novel of this drama is called "The Demon Lord", a novel by Jiu Lu Fei Xiang. Many of her works have been adapted, including "Swagger", "The Legend of the Blue Sea" and "The Heart Guardian"..."

"They revised the script eight or nine times according to my request, and then delayed it for a whole year to wait for my schedule... I had no reason to refuse!"

"…What attracts me most is the script. If you want to write about love, you can't just write about love. Love is never something that makes people lost or addicted. Instead, I choose to be with you, but I will never forget my responsibility and original intention..."

"Xiao Lanhua was played by Xiao Tian... I originally wanted to find another actress. She played Fan Ruoruo, my sister, in Joy of Life. It always felt immoral to act in a love scene with her... But Xiao Tian's audition performance was so good that we had no reason to reject her..."

"Yes, many actresses came to audition... Most of them were born after 95..."

"I was born after 95, too. You can't fire me just because my performance is so outstanding, right?"

Then, a netizen in the live broadcast room asked, "Can "Cang Lan Jue" surpass "Kuang Biao" and "Long Season"..."

Shen Liang was speechless: "...Can it surpass "The Storm" and "The Long Season"...These are not of the same genre, how can we talk about surpassing? If you really want to compare, compare it with the same type of ancient puppet dramas and fairy tales." Well, Shen Liang was actually avoiding the battle...

Of course they can be compared, no matter what type of TV series they are, their popularity can be compared!

"Kuang Bi" is a phenomenal hit, on the same level as "In the Name of People" - it has set off a lot of secondary creations...

It has almost become another "Siheyuan".

"Cang Lan Jue", an ancient idol drama, what can it use to compete with others?

Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about effective playback. According to Yunhe data, the average viewership during the popular period was 1.8 million per episode, and after the show ended, the average viewership exceeded million per episode!
It has been ranked number one in mainland TV series in the past five years.

Shen Liang did not surpass them either. The average episode revenue of "Joy of Life" was 1.3 million, the average episode revenue of "Storm Chaser" was 1.5 million, and the average episode revenue of "Kim's Secretary" with two top-tier stars was 1.8 million. There is still a gap of million!
Oh, "Cang Lan Jue" was broadcast on three platforms: iQiyi, Tencent, and Mango TV. On the first day, the popularity on iQiyi exceeded 8800, and the popularity on Tencent exceeded 29500... I don't know how Mango TV calculated it...

Moreover, Shen Liangye was not very clear about how these heat values ​​were calculated.

But he knew the investment performance of "Cang Lan Jue" after it was broadcast on three platforms - it achieved a landslide first place on the three platforms, with a total number of advertisements reaching 626, setting a record for investment this year!
Among them, Tengxun put 178 ads for "Cang Lan Jue", with an average ad duration of 40.33 seconds per episode, including 27 cooperative brands. The total number of ads on iQiyi was 208, with an average ad duration of 52.74 seconds per episode, and 21 cooperative brands. The number of ads on Mango TV was 240, with an average ad duration of 60.74 seconds per episode, and 24 cooperative brands...

The special thing about "Cang Lan Jue" is that it adopts a joint broadcast rather than an exclusive broadcast method.

The drama was originally controlled by iQiyi + Tencent, but in order to be broadcast on Hunan Satellite TV, it was distributed to Mango TV.

At the same time, the high popularity and commercial record of "Cang Lan Jue" also benefited from the joint efforts of the three platforms.

In fact, the biggest criterion for evaluating a costume drama is "investment attraction"!
Just like a mathematical permutation and combination problem, the market pairs and combines different actors, different emotional types, and different label gimmicks in various ways.

Of course, Shen Liang is often not judged by this standard - the TV series and movies he starred in have never failed!

Just charge in without thinking!
As for the data, it was on 29 hot searches on the first day of the show, with #沈良来救古偶场颜值了#…

With a market share of over 30%...

Click-through rate, ranked first among the three major platforms...

Even the ratings broke 1.5.

Directly dominate the charts in all aspects!
……

Shen Liang actually started out in idol dramas.

"Want to See You", a suspense idol drama, "Honey Stewed Squid", a modern idol drama...

These two dramas have accumulated a large number of fans.

After that, "Celebrating Yu Nian", "The Imperial Coroner", "Lotus Tower", "Awakening Age", "Wind Chaser"...

Directly became a benchmark for ratings.

Last year's "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim" became Tencent's annual drama king.

So, Shen Liang is actually quite suitable for idol dramas.

"Cang Lan Jue" was broadcast for three days and went viral...

The popularity on iQiyi exceeded 9500, and the popularity on Tencent Video exceeded 31000…

For Shen Liang... these are still beneficial. The biggest benefit is probably a bunch of underage fans!
