TV dramas with historical themes sound compelling, but in fact, the audience is far less wide than fast food dramas.
The more objectively reflect the real historical facts of the big production, the rarer the audience willing to buy it, especially in the current environment where history is falsified and plagiarism emerges endlessly, it is even more difficult to have a hit chance.
Even though Wang Yunlu's previous works had a good reputation and the awards they won were quite important, the ratings were barely close to 1% when they were the highest, which is not enough compared to the big IP adaptations that focus on publicity and promotion.
Before, a few people on the Internet said that Li Zhiqing's appearance in "Emperor Records" was a huge advantage, but in fact, "Emperor Records" gained unprecedented attention during the promotional period because of Li Zhiqing's overwhelming fan base. .
The first episode of "Emperor Records" ranked second in the ratings ranking of the National TV Golden Theater with a good score of 1.25%. Li Zhiqing's fans contributed a lot. Many of them are not interested in historical dramas, and usually follow dramas only on the Internet The young people on the platform were patient and sat in front of the TV on time at eight o'clock in the evening.
Since Zhong Kuang's appearances in the first few episodes were all in the opening song of "Emperor Records", the ratings showed a slight downward trend from the second day onwards, and remained between 0.7% and 0.9% for the next few days , although it is not as good-looking as the first day, but it can be regarded as a top-notch achievement in contemporary serious historical dramas.
Several people in the director's team were very happy this week, and they posted red envelope pictures eight or nine times in the WeChat group to have fun. Some old actors even joked with Li Zhiqing, saying that he is the auspicious ratings of the crew thing.
When Zhong Kuang officially appeared in the play, the director team realized that they were overjoyed.
The ratings that night went up like a rocket, and finally hovered around 2.5%. With just eight episodes alone, it occupied the top spot in the rankings, directly breaking through the big environment where online platforms occupy more traffic. The ratings record for historical dramas has set the highest score without any suspense.
The data of "Emperor Records" on the network cooperation platform is even more astonishing, with an average of nearly 200 million views per episode, which is comparable to popular idol dramas.
What is even more rare is that there have not been a few negative reviews on the show so far. The behind-the-scenes team and participating members are all reliable, and the online rating is as high as 9.8.
The audience is no longer limited to a fixed group. People who rushed to watch Li Zhiqing at the beginning were also attracted by the plot in the end. While the old drama from years ago caused a splash, it also made many young people remember the name of the old drama.
The number of Li Zhiqing's Weibo fans seems to be changing in a positive direction all the time. Most of the new fans were supporters of powerful actors in the past.
Compared with Li Zhiqing's young fans, they are older, experienced and even in social class. They don't appreciate the young people in the circle with red lips and white teeth. The product is good and will stir up the popularity of the little fresh meat, but seeing Zhong Kuang's performance in the play does not lose to the performance of the old actors, the gap between objective reality and subjective impression can make people get more surprises, and Li Zhiqing became a fan It's just a matter of time.
The actors of "Emperor Records" all have a natural ancient style, and their makeup and clothing are in line with the characteristics of the era of the background of the story. Everyone seems to have traveled from history to the screen, which is well received by the sophisticated party.
Li Zhiqing has an even better foundation in this aspect. The role played by Zhong Kuang has swept the social space in just a few days. Fans have added a line on the tags of his personal forums. Labels: A born young man in ancient costume.
And just because of this young man in ancient costume, a little joke was made on the Internet, which attracted a lot of people who ate melons to watch.
Every year at the end of the year, there will always be some summary selection posts on the forums and post bars, and this year is no exception. Li Zhiqing has been ranked first in several consecutive ranking posts for the selection of domestic male actors in ancient costumes.
This was originally a good thing for the fans to be happy together, but in the end they could still quarrel because of which photo of Li Zhiqing was posted by the host.
Some people think that Li Zhiqing's guest appearance in "The Legend of the World" has the best appearance of the male protagonist's father. From hairstyle to clothing, there are pleasing elements in costume dramas. The fashionable makeup and that beautiful but not feminine face are elegant and unconventional. Despite being handsome, many people used screenshots from the play as their avatars a few months ago.
Some people think that Li Zhiqing's appearance in "Emperor Records" is more in line with the definition of a handsome man in ancient costumes. As soon as he appears on the stage, people can appreciate the romantic charm of historical figures. The overall image is very real, unlike "Shi Shuo Yao Yu" "The costumes in ", at first glance, look like virtual characters that only exist in idol dramas.
The same fans of Li Zhiqing split into the father party and the Zhong Kuang party in the dispute. They opened a few new posts to start the discussion, and even brought up the topic on Weibo, and slowly climbed to a dozen or so hot searches Location.
The onlookers were stunned, and they didn't know whether to bite into the melon.
[… I’ve heard that the first and second fans quarreled with each other before, and I’ve seen the first and last one’s fans complain about each other. This is the first time I’ve experienced internal discord among the first fans. ]
[Aren't they all pretty? It doesn't matter which stills you put up, it was originally performed by one person, and it's embarrassing for you to embarrass the fans who fought for the first place for idols a few years ago. ]
The disagreement between the Father's Party and the Zhongkuang Party not only made netizens on major platforms laugh and laugh, but also attracted everyone's attention to the data of the two dramas.
Ordinary people don't know how to find the past ratings trends, they can only look at the situation on their respective online platforms.
The vertical and horizontal comparisons made everyone happy.
"Emperor's Record" is okay, it is a high-quality product of conscience, and Li Zhiqing's participation has made potential audiences who had no contact with historical dramas in the past join the ranks of chasing dramas. The online views of the first episode were 210 million, and the few episodes that Zhong Kuang did not appear in were in the early 100 million. After Zhong Kuang officially joined the development of the plot, the number of views was close to 300 million, which forced the average score of each episode to rise.
"A Tale of the World" is different, it's just a small investment and a small production, the script has no bright spots, the influence of the leading actor Chen Yipei at that time is incomparable with that of Li Zhiqing, and each episode has a score of more than 50 million. The number "2" is directly added before the number of broadcasts, which is half more than Cheng Jiarun's part, which can be called a peak among all episodes.
[I feel that the citizens of Li will definitely be very popular with investors in the future, and they will be the savior of ratings. ]
[I can already imagine the dominance of the screen in the next two years, just look at the few niches in the current circle, no one can match Li Zhiqing's influence, right? ]
A netizen summed it up even more forcefully: [Li Zhiqing is going to usher in the peak of his popularity next year... ]
This sentence is half true and half false, Li Zhiqing's popularity is indeed rising at an astonishing speed, but if we want to talk about the peak, maybe we don't have to wait until next year.
Since 2010, major video service platforms in China have jointly held a year-end selection event for online platforms, transferring the selection rights to the hands of the majority of netizens to the greatest extent. Netizens vote for shortlisted works and shortlisted stars, and then the host Fang and netizen representatives formed a jury team to jointly select the winners of the major awards.
Due to the increasingly obvious role of social networks in film and television marketing, this activity has also attracted more and more attention from the big names in the circle. Especially in the past two years, the weight of awards has become significantly heavier.
Although Li Zhiqing didn't have a representative starring role, he couldn't stand his strong fan base. From the beginning of the primary selection process, the number of votes won by the male star popularity list was like a crazy horse that was whipped hard, ranking first Not to mention, in just one hour, he was as far away as the big fault from the others behind.
Li Zhiqing had just returned from work at the time, and the movie was over these days, and everyone on the set was as tired as a grandson. When he was resting, he would either close his eyes or read the script. He didn't have much time to pay attention to the waves he caused on the Internet.
Now his scenes are basically finished shooting, and tomorrow will be a rare leisure time. After taking a shower, he can finally play with his phone and relax without any psychological burden.
Turn on the screen, in addition to the information in the "Diwanglu" crew group, Li Zhiqing also saw Feng Liangqiu sent him a series of "666" WeChat messages not long ago.
He sent a contemptuous expression, Feng Liangqiu replied: [You are going to be completely angry. ]
[Thanks, I already felt that way a month ago. ] Li Zhiqing made a joke.
Feng Liangqiu sent him a screenshot of the voting page: [You are basically stable. Once the medals are officially awarded at the end of the year, you will wait for the script to be softened in the beginning of spring. ]
Li Zhiqing looked at the ranking with the thumbnail, smiled and typed: [Thanks to the love of girls and boys, this is the result of their hard work, it has nothing to do with me. ]
Feng Liangqiu: [No, you still have fans of uncles and aunts, remember to bring them when you thank you next time. ]
Li Zhiqing: [? ? ? ]
Feng Liangqiu watched the opponent's votes increase by a large amount, thought about what he was doing when he was about 20 years old, and fully realized the sad feeling that people are inferior to others, so he replied "Go to Weibo to see it yourself" To feel alone that the years are not forgiving.
Li Zhiqing clicked on Weibo as he said, and the screen of the mobile phone he hadn't changed for many years suddenly froze, and he didn't see it after waiting for a long time. If the fuselage was still vibrating vigorously, Li Zhiqing would have thought it was useless today.
"My mother, get up and dry your hair quickly." Tang Shunshi saw Li Zhiqing lying on the bed in pajamas, with the tips of his hair wet on his back as soon as Tang Shunshi came in. Cover your head.
You Chuan went to other places to queue up to buy supper, and if he came back later and saw Li Zhiqing's wet hair in the cold weather, he didn't bother to ask, maybe he would be shot.
Li Zhiqing just finished scrolling through Weibo, didn't care about being called "mother" by Tang Shunshi, turned over and got up from the bed, and handed the phone to Tang Shunshi while wiping his hair: "Look at this."
Tang Shunshi took the phone, and what Li Zhiqing showed him was the plastic surgery news that Chen Yipei was paid to post on the hot search. He compared his appearance before and after, and even dug out who he looked like. Shen Yun really looked very similar.
Tang Shunshi felt a headache when he saw it. It's not that he doesn't know what the situation of this person surnamed Chen is, but with You Chuan in front of him, he doesn't dare to let Li Zhiqing know.
"The person they dug out has passed away a few years ago. Although he is also in the circle, his popularity seems to have been tepid." Li Zhiqing asked him, "You told me before that Chen Yipei became famous because he changed his life with others. It will lead to a change in appearance, it is impossible for him to change lives with a dead person, right?"
Tang Shunshi lowered his head to look at the phone, reached out and touched the flesh on the back of his neck, thinking that this kid really got to the point.
When Li Zhiqing saw the expression on his face that he was withdrawn to make a fool of himself, he knew that his guess was probably correct, so he raised his head and looked at him quietly without urging him.
Li Zhiqing's eyes focused on people, in fact, anyone who looks at it will feel that the lethality is fierce, but You Chuan's idiot attribute is too strong, every time he is seen, he disarms faster, and compromises are even more unprincipled.
Tang Shunshi originally thought that Li Zhiqing should be prepared a bit, but he sighed immediately after seeing You Chuan, and sat down next to him after making sure that there was no sign of You Chuan around, clicked on the photo of the deceased male star on the screen, and opened his mouth to report Give a date.
"Why are you talking about this?" Li Zhiqing was taken aback by him, this date was his birthday.
"I'm talking about this person's date of birth." Tang Shunshi added, he didn't dare to tell Li Zhiqing the specific situation clearly, so he could only mention a few words in a vague way.
Li Zhiqing's mind turned quickly, and he couldn't help but relate the matter to himself.
He, Chen Yipei, and the people in the photo were all born on the same day in different years, which is too coincidental.
"Let's talk about the young man surnamed Chen first. Although he has a good fortune, people who know how to do it will understand that it has nothing to do with the entertainment industry." Tang Shunshi said, "Something must have happened in the middle. He's come this far." He paused, then continued, "I must have met a 'fake nobleman' or she must be a woman whose destiny is water, and there may be a word 'water' in her name."
"Fake nobles" are similar in nature to the "harmful friends" in the constellations. On the surface, they help themselves, but in fact they only bring down the fortune.
Li Zhiqing's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately thought of Chen Yipei's saying that he should have been eliminated from the competition, but was just pulled by Cheng Jiarun. The word "run" is not related to water.
"Again, this person is not much different from Chen Xiao, but he took a similar path." Tang Shunshi looked at him, "It's also a coincidence that he was unlucky to meet a 'fake nobleman'."
After talking about two of the three, there is only one Li Zhiqing left.
"Now that the times have progressed, the entertainment industry is a good place. Not only are you rich, but you are also liked by others. I don't know how many young people come here for fame and fortune." Tang Shun pointed at him, "Of course you are different. Fame is not for gain, and what I met was an old dragon god with all-powerful abilities."
Li Zhiqing said no, she looked away and recalled the earlier events.
When he was auditioning on the crew of "A Tale of the World", the director team was obviously reluctant to let him play tricks, but Cheng Jiarun happened to come over and let him stay with a few casual words, and then the copper coins split for no reason matter.
If You Chuan hadn't come over at that time, it is really uncertain how the old street incident would have ended.
"Contestant No. 1 ended the game at a young age, and was buried in the soil wearing a cosmetic hat." Tang Shunshi returned the phone to him, feeling that You Chuan was about to come back, and sped up his speech, "Contestant No. 2 was sent a photo. The No. 1 contestant who was belching farts was going around all over the place, and a few days ago you saw 'Little Ghost Shangxiang'."
"One is number one, and there is number two." Li Zhiqing stopped wiping his hair, "Then there will be number three after that?" He didn't wait for Tang Shunshi to reply, and said again: "Could it be me."
Tang Shunshi snorted, "No. 3 has no chance."
Number three was covered so badly that God couldn't move her.
"No number three?" Li Zhiqing was a little confused, so it has nothing to do with him
Tang Shun nodded his head.
"Wait a minute," Li Zhiqing gestured at him, "I hear what you mean, Chen Yipei is exchanging lives with the dead, why? He can't get any benefits, and the dead can't possibly come back to life."
Tang Shunshi covered his head with a towel again, and said, "Have you ever heard of 'raising ghosts'?"
