Although the broadcast time between Love Apartment and Wei Gong's martial arts drama was only one day short, no one thought that the two were competitive. How could a sitcom with only twenty episodes and a martial arts blockbuster with more than forty episodes be a competitor?
However, what no one expected was that this sitcom that no one took it seriously remained at 0.9 when Wei Gong's TV series premiered by 2, which was about the same as when it premiered the day before.
Don’t think that the ratings are low. First of all, UC Media did not make great efforts to promote it. It was just that the actors took to variety shows to promote it in the early stage. The biggest publicity was actually the Amway from Girls’ Generation. Even so, the results of this sitcom are not bad.
"Everyone seems to want to know more about the sitcom written by your Emmy-nominated screenwriter." Wu Wei looked at the TV while searching for netizens' comments online.
Xu Chuan was writing the script outline, occasionally looking up at the love apartment that was being broadcast, which basically had nothing to do with what he remembered.
Due to reality, some jokes must have been replaced and they need to be in line with the current era. However, the actors selected are indeed very good, they can be relaxed but will not be too popular, and they show the characteristics of the protagonists very well.
"Haha~ This Teacher Zeng is so mean." Wu Wei was already lying on the sofa with a smile.
"Is it that funny?" Xu Chuan looked up at her. Her originally cold face had been completely distorted, but her laughter was so low.
"Hey, you can't help laughing when you write." Wu Wei lay on the sofa, looking at him with moist eyes.
Xu Chuan shrugged, "It's nothing, because it wasn't what I wrote." Just kidding, can he write lines one by one? What do those screenwriters do?
"Ha? But when it comes to publicity, they say it was a script you wrote."
"I only wrote the outline and controlled the overall style. Of course, the screenwriter team gave the rest freely. Of course, I also provided some jokes, but some were useless when the director used them." Otherwise, how could he remember all the plots of a TV series in his previous life?
Anyway, it is produced by my own company, so it is understandable to take advantage of my popularity.
After the end of the episode, Wu Wei switched to Hangzhou Satellite TV, where the second episode of the TV series "The Legend of Swords" is being played. "Which Wei Gong kept mentioning your name when promoting it, as if you were the starring actor."
Speaking of this, Wu Wei felt that the other party was very despicable to his boyfriend, but after Wei Gong's publicity, many people knew that Xu Chuan had prepared four songs at first, and due to the production time, he could only choose two of them.
Now many people on the Internet are begging Xu Chuan to release the other two songs, because Wei Gong swears that the quality of those two songs is also good.
"Who has the skill to ignore them?" This is how Xu Chuan answered the question raised by Wu Wei.
While he was writing the script, Zhou Hao called without surprise, "Have you read it? The ratings of Love Apartment are almost 1." This guy's tone was filled with indescribable surprise.
"Then let's contact other TV stations after that, and sell the second round of broadcasting rights." Beijing Satellite TV actually wanted to buy out the drama, and the price offered was almost blocked by their production cost, but Xu Chuan suppressed it and did not agree.
The TV station doesn't care. In their opinion, it is already considered giving Xu family a face, otherwise they would not have much interest in a sitcom.
Simply put, it is not very important to pay attention to it. Beijing Satellite TV only regarded this matter as a way to sell favors to the Xu family, so it was arranged to be broadcast almost at the same time as Wei Gong's big production.
Didn't you see that because of "The Legend of Swords and Swords", the other TV stations have moved the new drama back? It's because they all know that Wei Gong's drama will definitely be a hit drama, and no one wants to encounter it.
Now the love drama that was originally thrown out as cannon fodder was not only not killed, but even the trend was on the rise. This situation made everyone on Beijing Satellite TV confused.
"I miscalculated it." The director of Beijing Satellite TV looked at the real-time viewing data sent to him by his assistant, and felt very incredible.
Their internal prediction is 0.7, and now the four episodes have reached 1.1, which makes a lot of less advertising fees.
He took out his phone and called his assistant, asking the other party to notify the departments of meeting tomorrow morning.
There are also many discussions on the Internet, and most people's focus is on Wei Gong's new drama.
‘Can you stop remake it? This novel is almost ruined.’
‘Yes, there is nothing new. The special effects are good now, but I always feel that they don’t have the flavor of the previous martial arts films.’
This is all more rational. Some people think that Wei Gong has also been corrupted by capital and ruined famous works, and more people are scolding the stars in it.
To be honest, I really wronged Wei Gong and those stars. Although the entertainment industry has begun to have a traffic trend, it is not as serious as ten years later. The acting skills of these people are actually worth watching.
‘No matter what you say, I just watched the MV. Sword Rumeng is the best martial arts song in the past decade, no doubt about it.’
‘Absolutely masterpiece, good lyrics and songs’
‘The opening song of the movie is good, it’s a good laugh, it’s instantly killing most Chinese-style songs now’
'Wei Gong said when he was on the show that he chose from four songs. Aren't you curious about the other two songs?'
‘What’s the use of curiosity? You see when the great god has dealt with you.’
‘Don’t set the pace, but whoever of you went with me to leave a message?’
Then, Girls Generation's Twitter almost exploded again.
Zhong Miaomiao looked at the constantly flashing comment numbers on the Girls' Generation group's account, and wanted to throw away her phone. She had no choice but to get up from the bed and call Bai Qiji.
"Well, I understand, I'll let someone control the comments." Bai Qiji agreed after receiving the call, and then kept sighing at the popularity of Xu Chuan.
Not only that, she also thought of another thing. The release time of the new song of the American singer named Sulla seemed to be in these two days.
‘Maybe we can take advantage of the current popularity to promote the new drama.’ Bai Qiji trusts Xu Chuan very much. Even though this kid always looks cynical, thinking about what Xu Chuan has done, she really has no position to doubt the other party’s ability.
Xu Chuan did not care about these things, but drove the script out as soon as possible while no one was in trouble. After a five-person screenwriter arrived in Shencheng, his efficiency was greatly improved.
In a suite at Four Seasons Garden, Xu Chuan is confirming the outline content with these five people.
"The overall tone is that kind of cold and hard. Every episode has to be arranged for a female lead's fight scene..." Xu Chuan divided the framework he wrote to them, and then said.
"Where is the male protagonist?" One of them asked after reading the documents in his hand.
"There is no male lead. The male character with the most role is the villain boss. No other major male characters are allowed to live for two episodes, except for the supporting roles in the series plot."
The five people looked at each other. This plot was really beyond their expectations, but a few people were very excited. This plot that was beyond the mainstream was definitely challenging.
Chapter completed!
