In fact, if you want to hack a movie, you can always find a reason.
It's just that "The Gatekeepers" has achieved such explosive results and made so much money. To try to criticize this drama again, it feels like they are mentally retarded.
So many people stopped playing.
They don't want to embarrass themselves again.
But in fact Yue Guan doesn't care about them at all.
Under the influence of Yue Guan, Yiyi and the other actors in the crew didn't care much.
Facts have proved that what Yue Guan said is right, so what else is there to worry about
The success of "The Gatekeepers" can be replicated, at least for Miracle.
Therefore, the success of the first season of "The Gatekeepers" is of great significance.
However, things must be reversed.
When many people thought that "The Gatekeepers of the World" would break the ratings of "In the Name of the People", "The Gatekeepers of the World" failed to succeed.
It didn't fall too much, the main thing was that it couldn't go up.
This is quite surprising.
Because at this time, the reputation of "The Gatekeepers of the World" has begun to change.
The plot has also progressed to the point where Wu Qi starts to search for his own memories. Most of the flaws in the previous ten or so episodes have disappeared. The plots of the following episodes can be said to have received rave reviews and made many viewers happy.
But the ratings just don't go up.
The reputation is obviously changing.
This reality reminds many people of what Yue Guan said during the live broadcast before:
Word of mouth can be deceiving.
…
Miracle Company.
Yue Guan and Satisfaction were also talking about this matter.
The drama "The Gatekeepers of the World" was a hit. Of course, Miracle Company made the biggest profit, but what followed closely behind was satisfaction.
He benefited more than Tang Yan.
Although "Soul Ferry" is also a popular online drama, there is obviously a qualitative gap between it and "The Gatekeeper of the World".
People's hearts are not as good as snakes swallowing elephants. When I was satisfied, I never expected that "The Gatekeepers of the World" would achieve the results it has now. But after the current results, the ratings of "The Gatekeeper" stopped rising, and he couldn't sit still anymore.
He thought the ratings of "The Gatekeepers" could be even better.
So he personally went to Miracle Company to find Yue Guan for advice.
It can also be considered as a way to strengthen the connection with Yueguan.
Hugging Yue Guan's thigh tightly, he took off like this.
Satisfied, now I just want to hold her and don't want to let go at all.
"Yue Guan, what's going on with the ratings of "The Gatekeepers of the World"? Why haven't they gone up? It's obvious that there are more and more good reviews now, and word-of-mouth has begun to counterattack, but the ratings are actually on the decline. It shouldn't be."
I really don’t understand satisfaction.
"Is it true, as you said, that TV series with better reputations have lower ratings?"
Yue Guan chuckled and said: "Director Man, the ratings of "The Gatekeepers of the World" are already very good. I am satisfied with them. Are you still not satisfied?"
He shook his head with satisfaction and said: "It's not that I'm not dissatisfied. The main thing is that I thought it could be better. Looking at the growth curve, it should indeed be better."
"No, it has reached its limit." Yue Guan analyzed: "Don't forget the general environment. Now is the end of the TV station. There are not many viewers who can stay in front of the TV. There is a ceiling for ratings.
In addition, the fact that the ratings of "The Gatekeepers of the World" are not rising does have something to do with the improvement in word-of-mouth. "
"What's the relationship?" Satisfied asked.
If there is a problem in this area, he should take the initiative to avoid it in the second part.
But this problem cannot be avoided.
Yue Guan explained: "The viewers who can watch the first ten or so episodes of "The Gatekeepers of the World" all like the character and behavior of a neurotic protagonist like Wu Qi. Although this setting has given Wu Qi mixed reviews. , but there are many people who really like him, and this plot also surprises these viewers. However, in the following episodes, Wu Qi began to search for past memories, and at the same time, the plot also began to pave the way for the world view and various hidden clues to unfold "The Gatekeeper of the World" "The second season of ". In this case, there is some change in style from the previous one.
This kind of plot arrangement has fewer flaws and is no longer toxic to many viewers, so the reputation is improving. But for viewers who like Wu Qi's middle-aged movie, it's less exciting, so they are actually not interested. I estimate that many of these viewers will abandon the show. "
Satisfied and silent.
There is really no way to solve this situation.
Because the world view must be foreshadowed.
Hidden lines must also be buried.
Moreover, this arrangement obviously improved the reputation, but in the end, it actually limited the performance.
What can be done
I can't think of a way to get the best of both worlds.
"Yue Guan, can you take care of both?"
"It's very difficult, at least I can't do it." Yue Guan is not persistent: "Just try your best to be the best within your abilities. At least through the first season of "The Gatekeepers of the World", we also learned a lot of successful experience .”
Hearing what Yue Guan said, he felt satisfied and refreshed: "Yes, now it seems that the character has actually been given some very extreme characteristics. Although many viewers have been discouraged, more people are interested."
Yue Guan appreciated the satisfactory summary.
This is also the reason why he is willing to use satisfaction.
My thinking is not yet rigid and I can learn new things.
"What are Director Man's thoughts behind this?"
"When I was thinking about setting up other gatekeepers, I wanted to follow Wu Qi's setting. The most important thing is to give them some characteristics that are different from ordinary people, so that they can stand out and leave a deep impression on the audience. For example, Wu Liuqi’s assassination method must be strengthened, and a confident character can be added to him. The more extreme the better.”
Satisfaction can be regarded as discovering the benefits of being different.
The more extreme the setting, the better the plot, and most importantly, the better the comedy effect.
The success of the first season of "Keepers of the World" proves that this approach is absolutely successful.
Yue Guan added with satisfaction: "For other people, you can also arrange different characteristics. For example, you can arrange for a person to be particularly stable. If he is not 100% sure, he will never take action. Once you decide to take action, you must have a good idea at the same time. Several ways to kill the enemy completely."
Satisfied, he wiped the cold sweat from his head.
This is too stubborn.
But he thought about it seriously and realized that this arrangement was indeed a dramatic conflict.
"Also, you can arrange a gatekeeper who relies on injuries to become stronger. The more serious the injury, the stronger his ability, so he is always on the edge of seeking death, drifting in various positions. This kind of role setting Okay, the comedy effect is definitely great.”
Satisfied, he patted his thigh hard: "Yue Guan, you are really a genius."
He feels that setting up a group of gatekeepers with distinctive personalities will definitely make this series popular.
Yue Guan smiled: "This is not my fault. Director Man, if you have free time, you can go to the Five Star Chinese website to read more online novels. Today's online novels are more imaginative than the movies we film."
