From Composer to Entertainment Superstar

"The ratings for the third and fourth episodes are only 2.6. This is really scary."

"The average viewership rating for the premiere is 2.3. It's only a matter of time before it becomes a hit. But I originally thought that even if "The Condor" could become a hit TV series, it would need to be broadcast to at least the middle stage. But now it seems that it will become a hit the day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

.”

"Too strong, invincible!"

"Because it's really good-looking. Wang Xuan's filming was so good. He restored the original work so well. For example, the scene when Mei Chaofeng appeared, the atmosphere, gloomy and terrifying, is exactly the same as in the original work, and even scarier than the original work.

"

"Yeah. I didn't dare to watch it at that time. It felt like I was watching a horror movie."

"With Wang Xuan's setting skills, if he makes a horror movie, it will definitely look good."

"Who else!"

"Before, I was worried that "The Condor" would be suppressed by "Tianjiao Wushuang" when it was released on the same schedule as "Tianjiao Wushuang"? Now I realize that I have thought too much. The ratings of "Tianjiao Wushuang" have been declining in the past two days, and the premiere ratings

2.3, the next day the rating was 2.2, yesterday it became 2.1, if this continues, will it become 2.0 tomorrow?”

"Come on, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is not even worthy to lift the shoes of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". The performance of the novel has been suppressed by "The Condor Heroes" before, and it was crushed. If it is made into a TV series, it can compete with "The Condor Heroes"

Already?"

"That's not what I'm saying. I have to say that "The Condor Warriors" is pretty good. If "The Condor" is filmed by someone else, it may not be as good as "The Condor Warriors." After all, everyone knows that many novels have been adapted.

When it became a TV series, the plot was randomly changed. Even the screenwriter may not have read the original work, and naturally there is no respect for the original work. But "The Condor" was written by Wang Xuan, and it was adapted into a TV series. He is also the screenwriter and director.

, naturally the above problems will not exist.

Of course, although the screenwriter of "The Prodigy" is also written by the novelist Tian Qiong himself, there is a gap between the two books, and the TV series will naturally have a gap as well. This is an innate gap that is difficult to make up for."

"You also missed one point. Wang Xuan was willing to spend money. The cost of filming "The Condor" alone was more than 100 million. Look at these episodes of "The Condor". They have done a lot of convincing, Taoism and transformation.

Okay, everything is in line with the characteristics of the era and the original work.

What about "The Prodigy"? Although it is said to have cost more than 100 million, the actors' remuneration accounts for more than half. The pure shooting cost is far worse than "The Condor". What's more, "The Prodigy" is a fantasy novel, and the scenes should be

It should be more ambitious and more expensive. But I don’t feel any fantasy elements in the scenes that were shot. It’s just a martial arts man wearing a fantasy cloak. How can it be compared with "The Condor"?"

"Yeah. Before "The Condor" came out, I thought "The Condor Warriors" was good, but after watching "The Condor", I instantly lost interest in "The Condor Warriors". Maybe this is the so-called lack of comparison.

No harm done."

"I have to say, the special effects of "The Prodigy" are pretty good."

"What's the use of light special effects? Don't even look at the martial arts scenes in "The Prodigy". It's a turn-based, one-by-one move, and the movements are slow, just like a child playing house. It's so ugly. And "

"Shooting the Condor", look at the scene where Qiu Chuji fights the gunman on the lake, watch the scene where Qiu Chuji fights the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan, which move is not free and fast, making people see the blood flowing?"

"Yeah. It seems like the action movies shot by Wang Xuan, the martial arts scenes are very good, the fists, kicks, and swords are all fast and changeable, the moves are clean and neat, the movements are smooth and elegant, and they are never sloppy. This was the case in "Shaolin Temple" before, and "I Am a Special Forces Soldier"

This is true, and the same is true for the current "Legend of the Condor Heroes"."

"This kind of action movie is great to watch. To put it bluntly, it is the way ordinary people fight. Ordinary people are not capable of speed and strength. Real martial arts masters will not do this."

........

As soon as the ratings of "The Condor" were released on the second day, there was a lot of discussion on the Internet.

While the ratings have soared, the reputation of "The Condor" has also become more and more explosive. The score on Poison.com has increased to 9.4, and the score on Movie Paradise has reached 9.6.

It only aired four episodes and it got this rating, which is terrible.

Comparatively speaking, while the ratings of "Tianjiao Wushuang" dropped, the reputation also declined. On the first day, the score on Poison.com was 8.9, and on Movie Paradise, the score was 9.0. But by the third day, the score on Poison.com had dropped to 8.5.

The Movie Paradise rating dropped to 8.7.

This scene made both Zhehai Satellite TV and Tianqiong a little confused.

Previously, Tianqiong was also the author of "Tianjiao Wushuang", which became a hit, and he had a dream that his market price would rise with the rising tide. As a result, "The Condor" was broadcast, and the ratings and reputation of "Tianjiao Wushuang" declined, which quickly gave him a blow to the head.

If this continues, it will be good if the ratings of "The Prodigy" can remain above 2.1. How can we talk about becoming a big hit?

Of course, the ratings of 2.1 are not low, and many TV dramas do not even have ratings of 1.0. Question has high hopes for "The Prodigy" and Tianqiong. Especially when the ratings came out on the first day, he had even greater expectations.

.

Zhehai Satellite TV is similar.

The first-day ratings of "Tianjiao Wushuang" have come out. Zhehai Satellite TV's bottom line goal for "Tianjiao Wushuang" is to be a hit. They even imagined that when "Tianjiao Wushuang" reaches its climax, the ratings can break 4. But now,

This illusion was shattered.

Looking at the ratings and reputation of "The Condor", and then the ratings and reputation of "The Prodigy", the top management of Zhehai TV is totally unhappy.

But it’s not just Zhehai Satellite TV that feels bad?

After the ratings of "The Condor" came out on the first day, many TV stations regretted it. But they also tried to comfort themselves in their hearts: maybe "The Condor" only had high ratings in the first broadcast and then declined. After all, the books of "The Condor"

Fan and Wang Xuan have a lot of fans. But if the filming is not good-looking, when the fans' enthusiasm is exhausted, they will be angry again.

But on the second day, the ratings of "The Condor" actually soared by 0.22. Especially in terms of word-of-mouth, everyone knows how high the original party's requirements are for the novel to be adapted into a film and television drama. If there is a slight disagreement, they will

Give negative feedback directly.

But now, the reputation of "The Condor" is actually rising, and the score is as high as 9.6. This is not something that many fans can explain. The only explanation is that the filming of "The Condor" is really good, and it is in line with the original intention of the party.

.

If this situation continues, the ratings of "The Condor" will definitely explode.

What does it feel like to be a TV station?

At first they had hopes of winning the premiere rights to "The Condor", but they found it too expensive and Wang Xuan's filming was not good, so they did not dare to take the risk. Only then did Yangcheng Satellite TV get a big deal.

However, the most pitiful one is Zhehai Satellite TV.

Spending 120 million to buy the first broadcast rights of "The Prodigy", now it seems that it will be good to recover the cost. And if it only recovers the cost, it will definitely be a loss for Zhehai Satellite TV, after all, it has wasted more than 20 days of prime time

ah.

No, Zhehai Satellite TV will most likely not even be able to recoup its costs.

Let's put it this way, there are generally two ways of cooperation between TV stations and advertisers. The first one is directly determined. The advertisers negotiate cooperation with the TV stations and place advertisements. The price is directly negotiated and the price is fixed during the advertising period.

The second type is called the guaranteed model. In this model, the TV station will agree on a guaranteed price with the advertiser, and then use the ratings as the benchmark, and the advertising price will be linked to the ratings. When the ratings reach a certain level, the advertising price will become

The benchmark corresponding to the ratings. To put it bluntly, in the second method, the advertising price and the ratings are directly proportional. The higher the ratings, the higher the advertising price; the lower the ratings, the lower the advertising prices.

There are two ways. For TV stations, the first one has the lowest risk. Generally, TV stations will make a ratings evaluation of the TV programs broadcast during that time period, and then set the advertising price for that time period.

However, if you are confident about the programs broadcast in a certain period of time and it is difficult to evaluate the ratings, most TV stations will choose the second model. This is a flexible model, where risks and benefits coexist. Because the guaranteed price is generally higher than the normal price

It's much lower. If the ratings don't go up, the TV station will lose money. But if the ratings are much higher than expected, the TV station will make a lot of money.

Dare to spend 120 million to purchase the first broadcast rights of "Tianjiao Wushuang". Zhehai Satellite TV must have confidence in "Tianjiao Wushuang". No surprise, it will definitely choose the second mode. But now, "Tianjiao Wushuang" has been replaced by "The Condor"

Suppressed, it is estimated that it will be difficult to even maintain a ratings of 2.1.

In view of this, Zhehai Satellite TV will most likely only receive a minimum price for advertisements placed during prime time periods. How can it recover the cost?

And Yangcheng TV is probably going to make a fortune.

After all, if it dares to spend 160 million to purchase the first broadcast rights of "Legend of the Condor Heroes", Yangcheng TV must be very confident in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and will most likely adopt the second model. And now, only on the second day of broadcast, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"

The ratings of "Shooting the Condor" are as high as 2.6.

If the ratings of 2.6 can be maintained, it will be enough for Yangcheng TV to recover its costs.

But if this continues, the ratings of "The Condor" will be more than 2.6?

Sure enough, on the evening of the 7th, the fifth and sixth episodes of "The Condor" were broadcast. The fifth episode mainly tells the story of Wanyan Honglie who wants to win over Guo Jing, and learns Guo Jing's identity, so he orders the root cause to be eradicated. By the way, it also brings out the emotions of Hua Zheng and Guo Jing.

It tells the love between Mei Chaofeng and Chen Xuanfeng and shows it to the audience through memories.

The sixth episode mainly tells the story of Ke Zhen'e hiding a coffin to plot against Mei Chaofeng. The seven people joined forces and failed to fight, and one of them was killed. Moreover, the classic scene of Guo Jing bending his bow and shooting the vulture was also broadcast in this episode.

By the way, it also brought out the agreement between Qiu Chuji and the Jiangnan Seven Monsters eighteen years ago.

The plots of the two episodes are equally exciting and have aroused a lot of discussion.

The ratings came out the next day, and the ratings of "The Condor" rose again, to 2.75, while the ratings on Toxic.net and Movie Paradise remained unchanged.

On the evening of the 8th, the seventh and eighth episodes of "The Condor" were broadcast. It mainly tells the story of the seven monsters who suspected Guo Jing and Mei Chaofeng of having an affair, and killed them. Fortunately, Ma Yu rescued him in time, and Temujin was honest on the surface, but actually engaged in the affair behind his back.

Looking back! Unify Mongolia and become Genghis Khan.

The scene where Wang Xuan rented an unmanned helicopter to shoot appeared in the tenth episode. The scene with a panoramic view of the grassland for thousands of miles was so beautiful that it feasted the eyes of countless viewers and gave rise to the idea of ​​​​traveling to the grassland one day.

The ratings came out the next day, and they still rose sharply, reaching 2.88.

On the evening of the 9th, the ninth and tenth episodes of "The Condor" will be broadcast.

In the ninth episode, Guo Jing finally returned to the Central Plains from the grasslands with the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan. What made countless viewers look forward to it was that Huang Rong finally appeared. Many Internet ridiculed the plot of this episode as: Guo Jing meets Huang Rong for the first time, eats a big meal and makes a fuss in the casino

, a meal for a wife!

Don't tell me, this joke is really accurate. If Guo Jing didn't despise Huang Rong as a beggar and invited Huang Rong to that meal, how could Huang Rong like the silly boy Guo Jing?

In the tenth episode, Huang Rong took off her beggar uniform and revealed her daughter's body. Her cuteness and cuteness were beyond recognition. At that moment, Brother Jing was stunned.

Countless viewers were also confused.

The sound of "Brother Jing" not only made Guo Jing's soul soften, but also made countless viewers' soul soften, causing adrenaline to boil and hormones to secrete rapidly.

"My mom? This is so beautiful!"

"Who can withstand this?"

"Ah ah ah, I'm going to fall in love."

"When Huang Rong pretended to be a beggar, I didn't take it seriously. I thought to myself why Wang Xuan found an ugly girl to play Huang Rong, but now... If this is an ugly girl, I guess there aren't many beauties in the world."

"Who is this actor? The costume is so beautiful."

"I paid attention to the cast list before, and it seems that her name is Deng Meilin. This is her first time appearing in a TV series."

"Her temperament is so similar to Huang Rong in the original novel. She is quirky, yet pure and beautiful. She is simply the goddess of my dreams."

.......

Huang Rong's appearance is a turning point in "The Condor". Although the previous grassland scenes were not boring, they were not really exciting in "The Condor". Only after Huang Rong appeared did "The Condor" become truly exciting.

In "The Condor", Huang Rong is definitely the favorite character of countless readers, even more popular than Guo Jing.

With Huang Rong's appearance, the ratings of "The Condor" soared. The ratings of the ninth and tenth episodes directly broke 3, and reached 3.1.

It soared from 2.88 to 3.1, a surge of 0.22. This is Huang Rong's popularity. You know, this is a surge based on the ratings of 2.88.

And "The Condor" has officially become a hit TV series, and it was shot in a very short time, only 5 days.

Seeing this scene, countless people didn't know what to say.

The industry lost its voice.

The melon-eating crowd was excited.

The sky was speechless and choked.

Zhehai Satellite TV sighed.

Each David was so regretful that his thigh was almost broken.

Even CCTV was stunned and speechless.

I feel that CCTV will also pay more attention to the TV series produced by Wang Xuan in the future. Because CCTV also relies on advertising to generate revenue. In the past, CCTV usually collected scripts for its TV series, and major production companies took the initiative to submit scripts.

Only when the TV station was satisfied did they cooperate in filming.

For example, in the previous collection of military-themed scripts, CCTV collected the scripts, then financed the filming and bought out the broadcasting rights.

Or, the production company takes the initiative to sell the finished product door-to-door. If CCTV takes a fancy to it, it will also directly buy out the copyright.

In this way of cooperation, CCTV has the greatest profit. Because it has bought out the copyright, the buyout price will not be too high. After the TV series becomes a hit at CCTV, CCTV can also sell the broadcast rights to local satellite TVs at a high price.

Those production companies naturally know that selling TV series to CCTV in the form of a buyout will result in a loss in revenue, but it will greatly increase the reputation of their company, so CCTV has never lacked production companies to cooperate.

But obviously, Tianhai and Wang Xuan are not included.

"The Condor" filmed by Wang Xuan was not promoted to CCTV. He even made a script that was rejected by CCTV into a TV series and competed with CCTV. Of course, Wang Xuan also had a sense of proportion, so the stages were staggered.

The fight was fought in a formal manner, so the two sides did not lose face.

That matter has already been revealed.

From this point of view, Wang Xuan treats CCTV without any pretense. Although he will look down upon them because they are CCTV, he is neither condescending nor arrogant, and will not fawn over them like other production companies.

"Welcome to School Together", "I Am a Special Forces Soldier", and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" are all popular... Wang Xuan has already demonstrated his ability as a screenwriter and director. The TV series he will shoot in the future should really be taken seriously.

In the future, China Central Television will probably also take the initiative to ask for cooperation.

After all, look at the ratings of most CCTV channels for the same period. They were suppressed by "The Condor". Even CCTV's highest ratings were only 2.2.

"The Condor" became a hit, and the happiest people are Tianhai and Yangcheng TV.
