Perfect Life

In China, in order for any film and television work to be successful, its factors, of course, are composed of many aspects. But the most fundamental and basic point is the core of the story of this work, which must be cut into the hearts of the Chinese people.

In the time and space where Li Qian once lived, when the country was not very developed, the most popular works were "Woman and the Well", "Desire", and "Police Story". Open, when the common people are very new to everything abroad, people love to watch "Beijing People in New York", but when society develops to a certain extent, what do people love to watch the most? It's "Struggle", it's "Dwelling", and it's "Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou Don't Believe in Tears".

To put it bluntly, this is the core of the times.

But some things are timeless.

For example, Chinese people worship wisdom and bravery, so "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Journey to the West", "Water Margin", and later "Langya Bang" became popular, etc. In fact, it is better.

Another example is the Chinese people's consistent pursuit of chivalrous spirit. Therefore, Jin Yong's dramas have become popular from Hong Kong in the 1970s and 1980s to China in the 21st century, and have become popular with generations of stars.

The play "Legend of the New White Lady" wears a lot of coats.

It is a classical fantasy romance film. There are many scenes of fighting and martial arts in the play. It is also one of the most famous folk tales of the Chinese nation and has a good degree of fermentation among the people. In addition, as a TV series, its The story is told neatly and neatly, and its beginnings and turns are very well-organized. Its costumes and scenery are exquisite, and it is definitely the most exquisite in the current domestic TV series. Moreover, its picture performance is particularly clear, elegant, and very beautiful, and its actor performance is also very good. They are all outstanding, and the heroine is also very beautiful...

But in fact, in the final analysis, it only tells the story of a very beautiful Chinese woman.

In short, in this play, the role of Bai Suzhen, the white lady, has embodied all the fantasies about female beauty in the Chinese people's outlook on life and values ​​throughout the ages.

This core goes straight to the heart.

Then, when it is put on a beautiful coat such as the above, it is simply beautiful and impeccable in the eyes of the Chinese - for the current domestic TV audience, it must be the best!

On Tuesday, August 31st, which is the last night before the start of school in the country, when the TV series had been praised by more and more people through the word-of-mouth fermentation of the previous week, it was broadcast. , are the ninth and tenth episodes.

This night, countless people are waiting for its final ratings data.

The major TV stations are paying attention, because this is likely to be related to their next purchase cost, and for now, they are looking forward to a higher data in their hearts to firmly compete for the second round of the show. Determined, but out of some unhappiness with Minghu culture in my heart, and I am also resistant to the ratings data that this TV series is likely to climb a little again.

The major paper media are also paying attention, because "The Legend of the New White Snake" is developing too fast, and the ratings climb is too amazing, but before this, everyone was not ready to report, although since last week After the five ratings came out, this TV series has begun to attract widespread attention, and everyone has begun to report, but this TV series suddenly jumped to 16.8 ratings after it continued to air on Monday, which made their previous reports seem Some are not enough.

At this time, the specially invited writers are working hard to write the manuscript, and those who can't produce mature manuscripts and comments for a while, can only go to the Internet to grab the posts one after another - but how is the ratings tonight? It will definitely determine the heat and frequency of subsequent reports by major print media.

Just kidding, a TV series that people all over the country are watching, you don't report it, what do you report?

And on the other hand, since everyone likes watching this TV series, they must like watching the reports related to it. At this time, whoever can come up with enough weight means higher attention and higher sales. .

Of course, most of the ordinary viewers don't know about these things, and they are not interested at all.

On this night, when countless families across the country sat on the sofa and turned on the TV after dinner, they just tuned the channel to HUNAN TV and waited anxiously for the ninth episode to start.

Of course, affected by the repeated spread of word-of-mouth, the TV was transferred to HUNAN TV tonight, and the audience who are ready to watch the TV series that everyone must not miss is a lot more than yesterday, that is for sure.

In the end, when the tenth episode was broadcasted, and countless viewers sighed, sighed, talked, washed up and went to sleep, for many people, the most worrying moment came.

It didn't make them wait too long, and soon a set of data, along with emails, phone calls, and QQ messages, spread at an astonishing speed in the TV circle and the print media circle. spread.

At 10:27 p.m. on August 31st, a die-hard fan of Li Qian who works inside the TV station, with a tone of incomparable excitement, was the first in the Sohu.com forum film and television section and Li Qian's special edition. This set of data is published.

But less than ten minutes later, Sohu.com directly put this post on the front page of the entire website, and gave it a bold and highlighted highlight.

After another ten minutes, the news spread throughout the entire network.

Sohu.com, Feixun.com and several other domestic portals have been highlighted in the most conspicuous positions on the homepage.

The ninth episode of "The Legend of the New White Snake" has 31.2 ratings nationwide.

The tenth episode, 35.4 ratings!

Li Qian's fans and viewers of this TV series, who couldn't help but go to the Internet and discuss on forums after watching the TV series, suddenly couldn't calm down.

Within 30 minutes, all kinds of posts will blow up the entertainment section of almost all forums in China!

At 11:34, it was the ID that first released the ratings data of "The Legend of the New White Snake", and posted another post. In the post, he explained in detail in a very excited tone. The significance and historical status represented by this viewing data.

Within five minutes, there were more than 300 replies to this post!

Up and down the Internet, there is a kind of excitement full of emotion and worship!

In May 1959, the first domestic TV station, Huaxia TV, was established. In 1964, the second domestic and also the first provincial TV station, JIANGSU TV, was established in Yingtianfu, and then started broadcasting. As of 1971, there were more than 40 national TV stations. TV stations. Since 1974, the state has invested heavily in the construction of cable TV networks. Later, many companies have joined the construction of cable TV networks. By the 1980s, cable TV networks had basically spread all over the prefecture-level cities. . At the same time, by 1980, there were more than 100 domestic TV stations.

In 1975, with Huaxia TV as the head, a total of seven TV stations in the country took the lead in connecting to the cable TV network. In 1982, Huaxia TV was the first star, and the following year, seventeen provincial-level satellite TVs were launched nationwide. The vast majority of provincial-level TV stations across the country, as well as more than 40 government-level TV stations, have been upgraded to dual-track live broadcasts by cable and satellite.

Basically, before the cable was connected, the audience ratings could only be counted by means of telephone interviews, but at that time, telephone calls were not widely used, and the interview data were highly deviated, so it was difficult to say that the data at that time were convincing.

It was not until the cable TV network was connected that viewership statistics became simple and accurate. However, in the early days, the popularity of cable TV networks was not that high. Therefore, viewership can only represent a small range of data. . Until 1983, there were 18 satellite TV stations in China, and the issue of viewing data really became the focus of attention and attention of all TV workers.

Before 1983, due to the advantages of channels, Huaxia TV station stably occupied more than 50% of the domestic TV screens within the scope of statistics. Across the country, it began to compete with Huaxia TV for ratings. Although some stations are getting better and better, while others have never been able to rise, but I have to say that there are many TV stations to choose from, and the audience will inevitably be been diverted.

Before 1983, as long as it was a TV series broadcast by Huaxia TV, it was normal to get a rating of 50 points, 60 points or even 70 points. But after 1983, even Huaxia TV station wanted to take it again It's already difficult to reach ratings of more than 50 points. Especially when the time entered the 1990s, the TV market was further prosperous, as strong as Huaxia TV, and the 20-point audience rating had also become a bottleneck. And that is, since that time, major provincial satellite TV stations began to challenge the status of Huaxia TV station one after another, and from time to time, either this station or that too, can always come up with some programs or TV series with quite good ratings. , and began to have a long-term relationship with Huaxia TV. The industry generally believes that since 1990, the so-called ratings have become more and more meaningful and convincing.

Of course, Huaxia TV is Huaxia TV after all. Although it is difficult for them to exceed the ratings of 20 points, it is still not easy for anyone to challenge. For the satellite TV stations at the provincial and prefectural levels across the country, their bottleneck is 10 points.

The bottleneck also means the evaluation standard.

A rating of more than 20 points means that the TV series or the show has become a national hit. The ratings below 20 points, such as more than a dozen points, are already popular, but they are still lacking in convincing when they are placed in the long river of history and in front of those great classic TV series.

Since the beginning of 1990, with only a few months to go until ten years have passed, Huaxia TV has produced one or two TV dramas with ratings of over 20 points every year, and even the occasional blockbuster can even exceed 30 points.

As for other major TV stations, the highest ratings so far are the 24.7% ratings obtained by SHANDONG Satellite TV in 1994 with the adaptation of the self-made TV series of the same name with the same name.

And if we make a ranking of TV drama ratings in the past ten years, the top one is the 50-episode TV series "Journey to the West", which was shot by Huaxia TV and directed by Feng Yumin. It was first broadcast in 1992. The highest ratings, as high as 82.2%!

Ranked second, it was also self-produced and broadcast by Huaxia TV, and was also directed by Feng Yumin. In 1998, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", its highest ratings, also as high as 78.1%!

These two peaks have not been surpassed by any TV series so far. Not to mention surpassing, it is impossible to even approach! In fact, since entering the 1990s, these two TV series, even for Huaxia TV itself, have already stood tall.

Because under these two TV series, although from the third place to the eighth place, they belong to Huaxia TV, but even the third place historical drama "Kaiyuan Shengshi", the ratings are only 36.5%. Compared with "Journey to the West" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it is more than one grade behind.

Moreover, since time has crossed the line of 1995, except for "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Huaxia TV has not produced a TV series with a rating of more than 30 points for five years.

The Japanese TV series "Tokyo Love Story" introduced by Huaxia TV at the beginning of this year, because of its bright modern urban colors, lingering love stories, and a plot atmosphere very close to the current domestic urban life, made it the highest rating of 27.7%. , and finally ranked sixth in the history rankings! And if you count from 1995, it's even ranked third!

And Mie Fujiwara, an idol actor from Japan, has also become a hit in China. So far, many TV stations have repeatedly broadcast this TV series, and the ratings are also quite good.

Moreover, judging from the ratings of this popular imported drama, TV industry practitioners generally believe that at this time, even Huaxia TV itself, it is difficult to get more than 30 ratings. Point works out.

For no other reason, "Water Margin" was filmed as early as the 1980s, and it was recognized as a classic at that time, and the two masterpieces "Journey to the West" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" were also completed by Feng Yumin. In the absence of such a top-level masterpiece that attracts the attention of a billion people, even if Huaxia TV still has a huge advantage in production and channels, it is impossible to pass 30 points!

As for the major provincial TV stations... Again, if you can pass 10 points, even if it's a big hit, if it exceeds 20 points, that's an incredible level, it's phenomenal!

Thinking of the 24.7% of "Zhang Sanfeng" in that year, it ranked ninth in the historical rankings. For major domestic provincial TVs, it is already a monument that cannot be surpassed!

It is precisely because of this that when "Legend of the New White Snake" was resumed on Monday and won 16.8 ratings, it suddenly caused major domestic TV stations to go crazy, and even dispatched the level of deputy director to personally rush to Shun. Tianfu, hoping to win the second round of this TV series, even made major TV stations look for favors and go through the back door one after another, and even several deputy station directors went to Yangjuan Hutong at the same time - 16.8, and everyone expected It is estimated that it can climb a few points in the middle, and it is hoped that the ratings will approach or even exceed 20 points, which means that this TV series has been infinitely close to or even reached a phenomenal level!

However, until the broadcast data on Tuesday night is not counted, even people who are optimistic about this TV series and how optimistic they are about its viewing data can never imagine that this TV series is attractive to Chinese people. It's not what the audience rating of 20% can represent.

In the same sentence, this TV series not only has the top packaging in the current domestic TV series, but the most important thing is that its story core directly cuts into the hearts of all Chinese people.

So, it has only been broadcast to the tenth episode, and it has already scored 35.4 points of ratings.

In the historical ranking of ratings in the past ten years, it has jumped into the top ten from the top 30 yesterday, and ranked second only to "Journey to the West", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "The Prosperous Age of Kaiyuan". Four!

And if you only count the ratings of provincial satellite TV, it has even directly swept away the original "Qi Xia Zhang Sanfeng", which ranked first in history, by not knowing how many positions, and went straight to the top!

That's why, at the end of the two- or three-thousand-word post, the poster from inside the TV system summed up with great emotion: A forty-episode TV series will be broadcast on a provincial channel like HUNAN Satellite TV. It is definitely a miracle that the highest ratings of 35.4 points have been achieved in the tenth episode!

He frankly said that before the TV series was broadcast, as a die-hard fan of Li Qian himself and the Four Beauties, he was extremely dissatisfied with Li Qian's "non-decent" running to film a TV series, even if Li Qian finished the filming. After the TV series, he then dedicated the absolutely classic new album "Once You" to everyone. This dissatisfaction in his heart has not completely subsided.

Because from the fact that Li Qian ran to shoot a TV series, he felt a very bad sign: Li Qian is not successful. He will go on to make the next one. In that case, he will spend all his time on TV dramas, and he will definitely slack off in music creation. For his die-hard fans, this is almost intolerable and absolutely unwilling to accept. one thing!

But later, in fact, when he watched the TV series with a very nervous mood, and only watched the third and fourth episodes, this dissatisfaction and worry had almost subsided, and he would wait for the TV series. He got a rating of 16.8 points. As a staff member of the TV station, he obtained this rating data in advance before the outside world got the news. He was already full of emotion, and he was in an incomparably contradictory and incomparable tangle.

As a fan, he certainly hopes that Li Qian will write more songs and release more albums in the future, but now, he finds that Li Qian's TV series are actually so good, and he likes it so much, what should I do?

But until now, as soon as the 36.5 viewership data came out, he said in the post: My heart is at peace all of a sudden!

In his words: I like to listen to the leader's songs, and I also like to watch the leader's TV series, so if he likes to write songs, he can write songs, and he likes to shoot TV series, so let's go and shoot TV series! I'm no longer confused!

The first half of this post is a popular science for the vast majority of Li Qian's fans and TV drama viewers who don't even know about ratings, and the second half directly tells what many Li Qian fans say. Voice of the heart.

So, it is conceivable that on this night, after discovering this post, even after replying to the post, I don’t know how many people could not help but go back to the first floor, read this post again, and then , everyone can't wait to join the discussion on this thread.

This night, even though everyone was scattered all over the world, on the Internet, they fell into a strange carnival and climax at the same time.

For many newspaper editors, this post has already given the headlines of tomorrow's newspaper entertainment page, and even many editors who are scraping content from the Internet, after reading this post, the first thing in their minds The first thought is, tomorrow's title has, it is called - a miracle!

…………

The meal in Yangquan Hutong was finished, and everyone went back to their homes.

But Qi Jie felt very uneasy. Even after a long day of exhaustion, after returning to her home to take a bath, she habitually turned on the TV, tuned to HUNAN TV, and continued to watch the "New White" that she had already watched before. "Legend of a Lady" chased it again, but his mind was full of all kinds of thoughts——

What if those four TV stations run away? Although the four of them are missing, based on the ratings of this TV series, other TV stations will still give a good price to let them compete with each other. It is almost possible to make a return for the second round of sales alone. .

But first, for a company in the cultural and entertainment industry, it would be unwise to offend the four provincial satellite TVs at once. The attitude of watching” made those TV station leaders who were used to being uncles in other film and television companies, although they did not show it very clearly, but they were already a little unhappy.

Therefore, as the general manager, one of the questions that must be considered is: how to ease the relationship with them?

Originally, it was easy to handle. They were used to being uncles, so they should be provided for themselves. However, since the company first opened, he ran out to treat guests and accompany others to drink and pulled in the soundtracks of two TV dramas. After causing great dissatisfaction from Li Qian, he directly gave it to himself and to the entire Minghu culture. A rule was set: no matter who the other party is, never humble yourself!

But the problem is, in China, let alone the entertainment and cultural industry, don't care what you do, how can you not be humble? Taking money out of other people's pockets is one of the hardest things in the world!

Then, Qi Jie thought, and was worried.

Of course, deep down in her heart, she still had some thoughts: to a certain extent, what Li Qian said was not unreasonable. As long as the ratings of this TV series continued to rise, then all problems would not be problems.

Well, it was 16.8 points yesterday, and if it can break through 20 points tonight... that would be cool.

So, she watched TV series while waiting for news.

By convention, generally ten minutes after the TV drama is over, the staff on HUNAN TV will count the ratings of the two episodes tonight and send them an email.

Then, after the TV show was finally over, Qi Jie went over to open her laptop and was about to wait to receive emails, but before the computer was turned on, the phone suddenly rang.

Qi Jie picked up the phone and was stunned when she saw Tan Dezhang's number.

When it was connected, Tan Dezhang's voice was so loud that it was scary: "Tell Li Qian, I will go to Shuntianfu tomorrow!"

Qi Jie was stunned for a moment, then said, "Why don't you call him yourself?" Then she asked again, "Didn't you go to Sydney? Are you back? Have the ratings come out? I'm still waiting for the news!"

Tan Dezhang laughed, "I called three times, and that kid hung up on me three times! In the end, I just shut down!"

Qi Jie blinked ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ understood.

It is estimated that as soon as Li Qian shuts down over there, Tan Dezhang has already understood.

At this time, Tan Dezhang continued to shout loudly: "The ratings are out, the highest is 35.4! 35.4 is that! Hahaha, let alone Sydney, even if I am on Mars, I will definitely take the earliest flight to Shuntianfu tomorrow! "

"Huh! Huh? How much? ... What's the ratings you say?"

Tan Dezhang continued to laugh. For him, this kind of gaffe-like laughter was almost impossible.

"35.4 percent! I said, its ratings are 35.4 points! Mr. Qi, this is a great statistic, this is a great TV series!"

Qi Jie was completely stunned.

Next, Tan Dezhang seemed to be so excited that he couldn't control himself, and said a lot of words, but Qi Jie didn't hear a word clearly. In her mind, she just flashed back the number - 35.4!

Oh my god!

Anyone who has done a little research on the ratings of domestic TV stations will understand what this data means! What's more, since he invited several major TV stations to watch the drama, Qi Jie has worked hard to collect as much information as possible and studied it carefully?

At this moment, Tan Dezhang had hung up the phone, but she didn't realize it, but she couldn't help but recall what Li Qian said during dinner at night: "Even if they leave in a rage, they will definitely come back!"

Yes, now Qi Jie finally understands this sentence, and is very sure: even if they leave, they will come back again!

Because, that's 35.4!

Seven thousand words chapter!

It doesn't count as a replacement, it's just to repair my character that was damaged due to the interruption during the high tide! That...that's what it's like to make up for it!
