Entertainment: Top players who started out as trainees

Chapter 659: The Sliding Shovel of the Heavenly Fairy & You Pay the Bill, I Can

Ning Luo also paid attention to the news related to "Dream of Red Mansions".

It's not that he actively paid attention to it, but in the past two days, Douyin, Weibo, and Bilibili have been flooding with it, and he can't help but watch it.

The drama’s first-day views exceeded 1.7 million, beating out “Night Walker” starring Feng Feng and Tie Zhi Mei Mei, and “Family Heirloom” starring Qin Lan and others.

At the same time, Bilibili also started crazy secondary creation, becoming a new traffic code, and the number of views of many up-hosts' related videos quickly exceeded one million.

Five days after its launch, the number of views exceeded 8.3 million, and the opening score on Douban was 8.8, which climbed to 22 in twelve hours, becoming the highest-scoring domestic drama on Douban in years.

emmmmmmm
To be honest, it's a bit too much.

Since the beginning of the year, there are only a few domestic dramas that have scored over 8 points on a certain platform.

"Alien Objects" scored 8.3 points, "Beyond" scored 8.2 points, "The World" scored 8.1 points, "The Wind Rises in Longxi" scored 8.0 points, and "Police Honor" scored 8.1 points and is still being updated.

Moreover, unlike most niche high-scoring dramas or fan-oriented high-scoring dramas, "Dream of Red Mansions" has a score of 8.8, with over 30 people participating in the rating, of which 58.8% were five-star reviews.

This is obviously a rating at the level of a "god-level drama".

Let’s compare it with several other recognized masterpieces.

"The Legend of Zhen Huan" scored 9.3 on Douban, "The Bad Kids" scored 8.8, and "In the Name of People" scored 8.3.

Including "The Longest Day in Chang'an" with a score of 8.2, and "Joy of Life" with a score of 8.1.

In fact, Ning Luo is not the only one who feels something is wrong. A recent hot topic on the Internet is "whether the ratings of "Dream of Red Mansions" are inflated when the series is not even halfway through."

Ning Luo also followed the chubby girl and the makeup artist sister to watch a few episodes, and personally felt it was okay.

It can be regarded as an excellent TV series and a high-scoring Internet content product. The configuration of "CP+female friendship" also accurately hits the pain points of current audiences.

But to say it is a high-scoring masterpiece with a score of 8.8, it is somewhat lacking.

The best thing about this drama is that it's normal.

The acting is ok, the plot is ok, the photography is ok.

Normal in every sense of the word.

There is nothing particularly original in the plot and subject matter, and the depth of thought is also very limited.

There are no shortcomings, nor anything particularly outstanding.

But in today's situation where the market is flooded with various assembly-line costume idol dramas, "normal" is already the most outstanding feature.

In the first quarter of this year, the three major platforms successively contributed three S-level and above ancient idol dramas, namely "Mirror Twin Cities", "When We Met Each Other" and "Who Rules the World".

With the support of top stars and the protection of big IP, they are all assembly-line works that follow the "ancient idol formula" without exception, and their reputations are all failures without exception.

The super high score and popularity of "Dream of Red Mansions" cannot be said to be entirely due to the support of its peers, but its peers did play a significant role in promoting it.

At a time when "the world has long suffered from plastic ancient idols", this is an extra reward from the public for "respecting the audience's common sense".

Of course, we also have to add billions of marketing and billions of internet trolls.

But everyone is doing this, so there is nothing to blame.

Another part of the reason is due to the terrifying filter of the fairy.

The starting point of Liu Tianxian’s film and television career was "The Story of a Noble Family", which can be regarded as a star sent from heaven in the serious film and television industry.

Subsequent TV series such as "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", and "The Return of the Condor Heroes" were also classic works that were extremely popular at the time.

Therefore, Liu Tianxian has become a "goddess" in the eyes of many people.

Although after turning to the film industry, Tianxian starred in many big productions, including "Taiwan Dragon Palace", "The Four", "The Forbidden Kingdom", etc., all of them suffered a decline in both reputation and box office.

"Mulan", the "Disney Chinese Princess" that was highly hyped for 20 years, also flopped and her acting skills were ridiculed.

But Tianxian's foundation is too solid. Although her film career was cut off, she is still very popular in the TV drama market due to her sentimental support and strong national popularity.

Moreover, the poor performance of the film industry has also caused the public's expectations for the goddess to continue to decline.

After returning to the ancient costume drama battlefield, Tianxian seems to have returned to her comfort zone. Her acting skills, which were not outstanding in the movies, are more than enough in the ancient costume dramas with her good looks.

Combining all the above reasons, the goddess was able to make a sliding tackle after 16 years and directly knocked down a group of big and small stars and exposed their underwear.

I guess Sister Mi has already started making vampires by now.

Zhao Xiaodao alone can’t handle him, and now here comes the “return of the king” Tianxian Sister.

Tsk~
I don’t know whether Sister Tianxian will participate in domestic fashion parties, award ceremonies, etc. this year.

Ning Luo wanted to get to know her at the last LV fashion show in Shanghai, but unfortunately, he happened to run into Sister Tianxian and Teacher Ju fighting each other, so the timing was not right.

Let's look forward to it.

"Are you thinking about some messed up things again?"

Facing his girlfriend's slightly narrowed eyes, Ning Luo grabbed her little hand that had slid up to his waist and blinked innocently.

"I'm wondering where to stay tonight. The soundproofing in my hotel doesn't seem to be very good."

"..."

Sister Chaoyue gave him a coquettish look and said, "Live at my place."

“Is there a jacuzzi?”

"Why do you have so much trouble?"

After chatting for a while, we waited for Guo Jingfei and Zhai Xiaowen to arrive. After a few pleasantries, the pre-production meeting officially began.

The recording content of this episode is role-playing. The eight members are divided into two escort teams, Chaotian and Zhe'er. Through several rounds of competition, including the "Narrow Road Meeting on a Single-plank Bridge" session, the "Assassin's Dinner" session, and the "Lyrics Chain" session, they compete for the task of escorting the secret treasure of Wujiang Village.

By the way, promote local attractions, food, culture, etc.

It sounds tiring and boring.

Speaking of which, the outdoor reality shows in the past two years seem to be of this kind, full of "positive energy".

Various high-sounding topics of the times, such as marine protection, rural revitalization, cultural and tourism development, seed industry innovation, etc., are actively or passively used, but they are not well integrated with the program script, making the program more and more boring.

After the meeting, Ning Luo changed into a less traditional Miao costume and went to the door to chat with his good brother justn while waiting for his girlfriend who was dawdling around.

Soon, light footsteps were heard behind me.

Ning Luo glanced back and his eyes lit up.

Sister Chaoyue has changed into a Miao-style outfit. The top is a royal blue blouse, paired with a navy blue pleated skirt, revealing a pair of slender legs. She is wearing a pair of black boots. The overall look is playful and cute.

Her long black hair was tied into two ponytails, swaying playfully from side to side as she skipped along.

Two silver earrings hung on her delicate and small earlobes, which contrasted beautifully with the silver collar around her neck and the silver bracelets on her wrists, sparkling in the sunlight.

The expression is a little silly, like a little puppy with eyes wide open and smiling foolishly.

Love it, love it~
After looking around, Ning Luo grabbed his girlfriend's arm and bit her ear: "Can I take this back tonight?"

"You pay the bill, and I can do it."

"You can take it first. I'm a little short of money recently." After thinking for a while, Ning Luo added in a low voice: "Remember to bring two boxes of small umbrellas too."

Sister Chaoyue rolled her eyes and punched Ning Luo in annoyance.

"You're a dog!"
