Entertainment: Top players who started out as trainees

Chapter 512: million reservations & bleak market

After watching the scene on the screen in astonishment, I don’t know how to describe it at all, but it is a stage of “demons dancing wildly” that makes people’s hair stand on end and makes them feel extremely uncomfortable both physically and mentally. The little fat girl asked sincerely.

"What the hell is this nonsense..."

Tian Mei also didn't understand, but was equally shocked and expressed her thoughts sincerely.

"Maybe this is neon..."

The makeup artist sister’s comment was concise, but equally sincere.

"It's all perverted."

Ning Luo said nothing, but silently took out his mobile phone, turned on "Drawing Sword", and projected the screen onto the TV.

The evil spirits are gone!
After eating and drinking, and complaining about the opening ceremony of the Olympics in the underworld for a while, the two generals left together. Ning Luo and Tian Mei looked at each other and recited the script as usual.

This state has been going on for several days.

no way.

They are both so dedicated.

I don’t know if it was ten or twenty minutes or half an hour, but Tian Mei moved her pink lips and buried her little head in Ning Luo’s shoulder.

Feeling the slightly rapid and hot air flow on his neck, Ning Luo gently stroked Tian Mei's smooth and beautiful back, feeling itchy in his heart.

After a few minutes of tenderness, Tian Mei looked up, pecked Ning Luo lightly on the corner of his lips, and patted his arm, her fair cheeks still slightly flushed.

"Stop messing around, help me tie it, I have to go back."

Facing those beautiful eyes that were slightly filled with spring water, Ning Luo looked for the two shoulder straps that were broken into some corner and casually suggested: "We are going back now. It's not even 12 o'clock yet. Do you want to go into the house and play for a while? I'll show you a big treasure~"

"..."

Tian Mei's face suddenly turned redder.

On the one hand, it is because of curiosity about what the "big baby" is.

On the other hand, it is because...

Tian Mei lowered her eyes: "The buttons are at the back."

"Hmm? Aren't these two?"

Ning Luo pinched it in confusion.

Tian Mei bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth and patted his arm coquettishly, her voice as thin as a thread.

"Maybe in two days. I'm not feeling well right now."

Hearing this, Ning Luo couldn't help but smack his lips in regret. He fumbled for a long time before finally finding the button and fastened it, then patted Tian Mei's little butt.

Finally freed from the confinement, Tian Mei stood up with the support of his shoulders, pecked him, and ran out of the room as if escaping.

Ning Luo glanced down, sighed heavily, went to the bathroom to take a cold shower, and tossed and turned in bed for a long time before falling into a drowsy sleep.

In the next few days, as the launch date of "Glory" got closer, Ning Luo's work became busier.

The number of interviews I need to accept every day has increased from 357 to 13578.

I don’t know where Tencent found so many media.

During the period, Ning Luo also held a live broadcast with the main actors of "Glory", including Reba, Pan Yueming, and Wang Yanlin, which received very good response.

But to be honest, Ning Luo personally felt that this live broadcast was quite boring.

Three out of the four people have no artistic sense, and it is basically all thanks to their old friend from Northeast China, Wang Yanlin, who supports the show.

Ning Luo could still cooperate to some extent. After all, he had done many live broadcasts before and was quite familiar with this kind of atmosphere.

Reba and Teacher Pan are almost like two pieces of wood.

Or the rotten wood kind.

Ning Luo video-called Sister Baba that night, gave her a severe scolding, and taught her face to face how to have fun in front of the camera. Sister Baba gave him a sanitary look, spat fiercely, and hung up the phone directly.

Ning Luo shook his head and sighed secretly.

There is a long way to go.

While busy promoting "Glory", Ning Luo also has to advance the filming progress of "Daily Life of Your Ladyship" in advance to squeeze out time for taking leave to go out and promote the drama.

Fortunately, this crew, from top to bottom, is basically made up of the Xinli Media team, and they are all willing to cooperate with Ning Luo to adjust the work progress.

The hard work of Ning Luo, Reba and others also received corresponding rewards.

Even with the overwhelming popularity of the Olympics, "Glory" still made quite a stir, attracting many netizens and passers-by to cast interested glances.

We can see something from a few data.

On July 7, the day when "Glory" was launched, the number of reservations on Penguin Video exceeded 26 million!

This is also the only drama on the three major long-form video platforms this year with more than 400 million reservations!

Even with the support of two top-tier stars, the number of reservations for "You Fei" is stuck at over 300 million.

Although there is a big gap compared with last year's "Want to See You", which had over 10 million reservations, there is nothing that can be done about it.

In recent years, in the context of more diverse audience entertainment methods, especially the strong impact of short video platforms, many data of long video platforms have actually shown a straight downward trend.

The most intuitive manifestation is the online broadcast volume.

This situation has become even more obvious especially after entering 21 years.

In the first half of 21, the effective playback volume of dramas across the entire network was 1575 billion, a year-on-year and month-on-month decrease of 36% and 11% respectively.

It can be said to be a cliff-like drop!

This is of course due to the fact that the major long video platforms have strengthened their review and eliminated the watered-down elements, but the biggest reason for such a bad drop is definitely the overall environment.

In the entire first half of the year, only one drama, "The Son-in-Law", had an effective playback volume of over 40 billion.

There are only four films that have exceeded 20 billion.

They are "You Are My City Fortress", "Sito", "Douluo Dalu", and "You Fei".

Effective playback means eliminating to the greatest extent possible the data generated by fans, as well as the playback volume of highlights and trailers, and the remaining relatively real playback volume of the main film.

At the end of the first half of last year, three dramas had effective broadcasts exceeding 45 billion, and six dramas were between 30 billion and 40 billion.

It is conceivable how bleak the domestic drama market is this year.

However, this is also related to the scarcity of hit dramas in the first half of this year and the serious routine and template-based nature of the dramas.

First of all, the costume dramas, which are the main players in terms of ratings and click-through rates for domestic dramas, have almost all failed.

The formula of "traffic + big IP = hot seller" has gradually become ineffective in the past two years.

This was particularly evident in the first half of this year, with several S+-rated dramas ending in dismal failure.

"Legend of Fei", which has gained a little popularity, has been deeply infiltrated by the "sweet pet poison", simplified the growth line of the heroine Zhou Fei, weakened the "female knight feeling", enhanced the love scenes between the male and female protagonists, causing the martial arts to become ancient idol drama, and its reputation plummeted.

"The Sword and the Brocade", starring Tan Songyun, retains certain elements of house fighting, but also emphasizes the sweet and loving interaction between the male and female protagonists, which seems extremely awkward and awkward.

The heroine drama "Shangyang Fu" in which Empress Zhang descended to earth to play the leading role, the character settings and routines from five, six, seven or eight years ago are already outdated.

"The Eternal Dust", starring the little yellow duck, also follows the old routine of "the man is cold and the woman is warm, sweet at first and then abusive".

Xiao Zhan's "Douluo Dalu" and Fan Chengcheng's "Douluo Dalu", apart from the poor special effects of the drama itself and the poor performances of the actors, also have serious problems of routine and template.

So cliche.

Simply put, the audience has had enough of shit.
