Entertainment: I just want to be the boss behind the scenes

Chapter 199 topped the list of online dramas!

"A forensic drama is actually being asked to be rectified because of 'blood and violence'. Does that mean the censors never get hurt or bleed?"

"I think there is nothing wrong with this wave of censorship. Many scenes in this drama do exceed the standards of normal criminal investigation and forensic works. It is purely for curiosity!"

"Can a scene of this magnitude be considered a big deal? The most explicit scene you've ever seen is probably In the In the Night Garden, right? Then we'll be done with it when we go back to Makkabaka."

"The first 11 episodes of "Forensic Qin Ming" are available on the Internet without any cuts. Send me a private message if you want them."

"Boss, I'll send you a private message, please."

"Please +1"

"..."

In the office of Leshi.com, Meng Bai was browsing on his phone, reading messages from online viewers.

Liu Jun sat down opposite him, poured a cup of tea and placed it on the table in front of him, and asked, "What are you going to do about the review?"

Meng Bai put down his phone and picked up his teacup: "What else can we do? We should just make corrections honestly."

In fact, he had already been mentally prepared for "Forensic Qin Ming" to be removed from the shelves.

After all, just based on those "appetizing" shots that directly hit the audience's faces, it is not an exaggeration to label it "bloody and violent".

The only thing that was a bit surprising was that this wave of "divine punishment" took so long to arrive.

According to his initial estimate, the first week of broadcasting should be about the same.

"What are the rectification requirements given to you by your superiors?" Liu Jun asked.

"Delete all the bloody scenes, including those that have been aired before." Meng Bai spread his hands, "Like the skull and human skin at the beginning, and some panoramic views of corpses, all of these must be deleted."

"Ah?" Liu Jun frowned. "We are a forensic drama, and we can't have scenes showing corpses. What's the point of watching it?"

"Yes, so we also talked to the censorship committee." Meng Bai said: "The final result is that all the complete shots will be censored. Some minor ones, such as wounds, bones, etc., can still be broadcast normally."

As soon as Arc Light Films received the notice to remove the film from shelves for rectification, it immediately contacted the censorship department to discuss the scale of specific shots.

The above is understandable. The theme of this drama is "forensic medicine". It would be a bit too ridiculous if no so-called "bloody scenes" are allowed.

So after mutual discussions, we finally came up with this relatively "compromise" solution.

Meng Bai has asked Wang Wei to speed up the processing in post-production, and give priority to censoring those parts that can be censored, and delete them if they really can't be censored.

"Alas." Liu Jun sighed. "Since the review meeting, there has been no new news. Everyone thought that the control over online dramas would be loosened. Unexpectedly, this happened right away."

"Maybe they are also debating where to set the boundaries of censorship for online dramas," said Meng Bai.

Liu Jun said: "It's a pity. Our growth momentum was quite good. It was suddenly interrupted. I don't know how big the impact will be."

No matter how much overtime we work, it will take some time to process it. Moreover, the rectified content has to be reviewed again before it can be rebroadcast, so we will definitely not be able to update normally this week.

The audience's desire to follow a drama is inertial, and once it is suddenly interrupted, they will easily give up.

"This time, Qiyi TV got an advantage." Liu Jun cursed, "Damn it, they couldn't see that they couldn't win the data competition, so they resorted to some trickery and reported it."

Come to think of it, this is not impossible.

With the updates of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles", many passers-by who came here because of its fame gradually lost their sense of novelty.

At the same time, due to the poor performance of the plot and production standards, many viewers chose to give up.

This is reflected in the data, that is, the growth rate of the number of views of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" has gradually slowed down, and the discussion and popularity have also declined.

The rankings of the two dramas have been alternating on the list.

But gradually, "Forensic Qin Ming" became the first in normal time, and only on weekends after the update on Friday night could "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" come back.

Moreover, the time required for this reversal is getting longer and longer, and now it almost entirely depends on the fans of a few leading actors.

Therefore, in this situation, it is hard to guarantee whether the other party will do some "small moves".

Liu Jun is not the only one who has this idea. Many viewers and fans of "Forensic Qin Ming" are also discussing this issue.

"Such a sudden removal of the product for rectification, could it be reported?"

"It's hard to say. If the opponent sees that he can't win, he might resort to some tricks."

"That shouldn't be the case. Isn't 'Grave Robbers' also a sensitive topic? Aren't they afraid that the censorship will change from 'single-point attack' to AOE?"

"Fuck, brother above, you have made a great prediction! Qiyi TV just issued an announcement, and "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" has also been asked to be removed from the shelves for rectification!"

"Ah? Is it true? Let me check it out!"

"Fuck, it's true!"

"..."

Just when the audience was discussing whether it was a report from the other side, the official Weibo of Qiyi TV suddenly sent a message saying that it had received the latest censorship notice, requiring "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" to be removed from the shelves for rectification because it "excessively exaggerates the horror atmosphere and superstitious ideas."

This is not the end. Just as many viewers were arguing about the removal of the two dramas, several other video platforms also issued similar notices one after another.

Sohu Video Announcement: The self-produced web drama "Diaosi Nanren 4" has been removed from the shelves for rectification due to the presence of "pornographic content".

Qiyi TV announced: the self-made web series "School Beauty's Personal Bodyguard" was removed from the shelves for rectification due to "pornographic content". Youku Video announced: the self-made web series "Report to the Boss 2"...

Penguin Video Announcement:……

……

In just a few days, six online dramas were asked to be removed from the shelves for rectification, and almost every video platform was not spared.

It was not until this time that everyone realized that it was not a report by any one company, but rather the review department had "made a big fuss".

There is nothing more to say then. Let’s go back to our respective places and make corrections.

At this time, being the first to be asked to take the product off the shelves for rectification actually becomes an advantage.

After all, it rained early, so the broadcast can be resumed early.

After the Arc Light Film and Television production department worked overtime to rectify the situation, the first 11 episodes of the "deleted and censored" version of "Forensic Qin Ming" were put back online, and three episodes of this week were also updated.

All other popular dramas are gone, and what remains are just some small fish and shrimps.

The entire online drama market in early August was dominated by Forensic Qin Ming. The broadcast data of the entire drama was not only not affected, but it rose sharply.

After the twelfth episode was aired, the total number of views exceeded 1.3 billion, breaking the record for the number of views of a self-produced web drama.

The fifteenth episode was aired, and the total number of views exceeded 1.7 billion. At the same time, the rectified "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" was put back on the shelves.

I don’t know if it was because of the poor reviews of the series, or because the weekly update model was too slow, but Qiyi TV directly released all the remaining content, and member users can watch the entire series in one go.

With the support of this wave of updates, the number of views of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" has also experienced an explosive leap, catching up at an extremely fast speed.

In the third week of August, "Forensic Qin Ming" updated its last three episodes, and the total cumulative number of views exceeded 20 billion.

On the same day, the total number of views of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" also exceeded 20 billion.

According to the current common calculation method, the broadcast period of the two dramas will end starting next week.

The remaining two days of the weekend will be the final decisive battle!

At this point, all means of publicity and promotion are ineffective.

The final result will all depend on the audience base accumulated over the past month.

Not only the producers of both sides are waiting for the result, but also many online spectators and netizens who are watching the fun also want to see which side will win in the end.

Because people do not trust the playback data released by the platform itself, everyone is mainly waiting for the results from third-party platforms.

The most popular ones are naturally Yunhe Data and Guduo Media.

The two data platforms also do not want to miss out on this wave of popularity. They have issued statements saying that they will display statistical data in real time starting at 12 noon on Sunday to ensure openness.

The "live broadcast data" method obviously fully satisfied the needs of netizens to watch the fun, and the two platforms increased their traffic significantly.

Of course, Leshi.com and Qiyi TV were privately cursing. They had originally thought that they could rely on "technological power" to improve their performance, but now they were directly blocked.

In fact, if the platform wants to do something, it is not impossible. It’s just that with so many people watching, the anomalies in the data are too easy to be discovered.

Anyway, so far, the performance of the two dramas has fully satisfied the interests of their respective producers. Whoever takes first or second place is just a jackpot.

Compared to losing a false reputation, the impact of "data falsification" is obviously greater.

……

Monday, early morning.

The competition between "Forensic Qin Ming" and "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" which lasted for more than a month ended last night.

And today is the day when the websites of both sides announce the final data and the third-party platform releases the ranking list.

The data on the website comes out very quickly.

The total number of views of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" finally confirmed by Qiyi TV is 22.38 billion.

On Leshi.com, the total number of views of "Forensic Qin Ming" is 22.51 billion.

The difference between the two is only over 10 million views.

But there is no doubt that "Forensic Qin Ming" occupies the first place with a slight advantage!

But this is not the end. After all, the website's own data is inflated. If you really want to see who wins and who loses, you still have to wait for the third-party rankings.

The two data platforms, which have seen a huge increase in traffic in recent days, did not keep people waiting for long and quickly gave out the final statistical results.

According to Yunhe Data, the total dehydrated volume of "Forensic Qin Ming" is 2.5 million, and the total dehydrated volume of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" is 2.4 million.

On Gudao Media's "Online Drama Influence List", "Forensic Qin Ming" ranked first with an "overall score" of 9200, and "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" ranked second with 9160.

If we look at the data, the gap between the two dramas is really not that big, they are on par with each other.

But even the slightest advantage is still an advantage!

After more than a month of competition, "Forensic Qin Ming" successfully topped the list of online dramas of the same period!

At the same time, more and more viewers have begun to agree that ArcLight Pictures is the "No. 1 production team for domestic web dramas"!
