This Emperor is Only An Actor

Chapter 78: How much is integrity worth?

Views:

Mo Xiangwan walked towards Yue Guan with a report.

But at this time, Yue Guan's cell phone rang again.

It was actually my father-in-law’s phone number.

Yue Guan was very surprised, made a gesture to Mo Xiangwan, and then answered the phone.

"Dad, you also know that you have a son."

He had been in so much news the past two days, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law didn't even make a single call.

If he hadn't known that he was an only child, he would have suspected that his parents-in-law had built a small account behind his back.

Fortunately, although the concern came a little late, it finally came.

Then, his father-in-law's words brought Yue Guan back to reality: "Yue Guan, can you tell Wang Jing not to let Cheng Shifei and the others appear again."

Yue Guan: "???What's going on?"

"Didn't you film a TV series called "The Best in the World"? Your mother and I stayed in the hotel every day to contribute to your ratings, but the leading actors were very boring as soon as they appeared. Neither your mother nor I wanted to watch the leading actors. We I want to see Zhu Wuwu and Eunuch Cao."

Yue Guan: "...Goodbye."

"No, Yue Guan, you have to listen to the voice of the audience."

Yue Guan hung up the phone decisively.

Then he asked Mo Xiangwan naturally: "Sister Xiangwan, what's the matter?"

Mo Xiangwan couldn't help laughing when he heard what his father-in-law said: "It seems that uncle also likes "The Best in the World"."

"It's normal for people of his age to like martial arts dramas."

"Actually, uncle's voice is very representative." Mo Xiangwan handed the report in his hand to Yue Guan: "I got a ratings statistical report. It's very interesting. Take a look."

Yue Guan took it, turned it over quickly, and then raised his eyebrows.

"CCTV is very professional." Yue Guan praised.

"Of course I'm professional, otherwise how could I dominate the country in ratings?" Mo Xiangwan said calmly.

The CCTV of this world is open to all of Asia, and it is not even a bit better than the CCTV of the previous world.

This kind of strength is all-round.

For example, the report Yue Guan held in his hand made Yue Guan a little surprised.

This is a special statistical report from CCTV on the ratings of "The Best in the World".

This report shows that since the 10th episode of "No. 1 Under Heaven" was broadcast, the ratings of dramas starring the four main actors have been stable but have declined.

As for dramas featuring Little Emperor, Zhu Wuwu, Cao Zhengchun and Yagyu Shengpiaoxu, the ratings have soared.

The ratings of "The Best in the World" have been rising all the time, and the main bonus factor is not the starring role, but the supporting role.

Here are the comments from CCTV insiders:

This data has been tracked and observed for a period of time, and it is certain that it is not a flash in the pan.

The data does not lie. Based on this, we can draw the conclusion that audiences prefer to watch fast-paced plots, and exciting power struggles and online acting scenes are more favored by audiences. The halo of the starring role is gradually fading away, and the emotional drama has become the focus of dissuasion. You should pay more attention when buying movies in the future.

"Is this report interesting?" Mo Xiangwan asked.

Yue Guan nodded: "Although I don't completely agree with the final conclusion of this report, it is indeed very interesting."

"You don't agree with this conclusion?" Mo Xiangwan was a little surprised.

"It's too one-sided. There are many reasons why a drama becomes popular. This conclusion is just one of them. It does not mean that this is the only way for a drama to become popular." Yue Guan said this and chuckled: " But it is indeed a good trend. The pace of domestic dramas has always been too slow, and this report may be a catalyst."

In fact, domestic dramas cannot keep up with the country's economic development. In reality, everyone has adapted to the fast-paced life. However, domestic dramas are still stuck in the last century. Mother-in-law and mother-in-law have short stories, and dozens of episodes can be filmed on trivial matters.

Therefore, once a fast-paced domestic drama comes out, it will easily be favored by the audience.

"It's a pity for the four leading actors in "The Best of the World". In fact, these four people did nothing wrong, and their characters are positive enough. Their problem is that there are too many emotional scenes, and there is also a love triangle. Once you take a look at their emotions, The drama was dragged out.

Our supporting characters are obviously different. We focus on our careers, and our appearance is the highlight of the plot. Yagyu Piaoxu appears either as a murderer or as an undercover agent, and the whole process is tense and exciting. Not to mention the confrontation between Cao Zhengchun and Zhu Wuwu, the whole process was high-energy. As for the little emperor I play, he will do big things when he appears, and his level is obviously higher than that of the four leading actors.

If I were the audience, I would also like to watch the plot. If we focus our roles on the four leading actors, the ratings of the episodes in which they appear will also be very high. The main reason why this drama is popular is that the characters of our supporting characters are well designed, and it has little to do with whether the supporting characters are supporting or not. "

Yue Guan's analysis was approved by Mo Xiangwan, but she smiled happily: "Not everyone can be as objective as you, and you also have high expectations for several leading actors. Show them your little emperor." , who can act as well as you?"

Yue Guan blinked: "That's right."

He turned on the plug-in.

"The most important thing is that not only I have this report, but Wang Jing also has a copy."

"What do you mean?" Yue Guan didn't understand.

Mo Xiangwan smiled like a fox: "He let the news out. He wanted to stir up the popularity one last time and sacrifice a few leading actors."

Yue Guan understood and was a little shocked: "Isn't it a bit unethical to do this?"

Once this news is released, several of the leading actors may not be promoted, but may even be demoted.

After all, investors are looking for celebrities to film movies in the hope of increasing ratings. Who would hire a few stars who can lower ratings

But Mo Xiangwan answered matter-of-factly: "Can authenticity make money? Besides, other directors do the same thing. The entertainment industry has always been so real."

This is true.

After "In the Name of the People" Secretary Dakang became popular, the director and screenwriter directly said that they wanted Wu Gang to be the leading actor because he knew his performance was so good.

After "Fortress" hit the market, the director even bluntly said that Lu Han should not be looked for.

The entertainment industry is so real, and being on the street is the original sin.

"Don't worry, Wang Jing's hype will only bring benefits to you but no harm, so don't tear him down."

"I'm not stupid."

Yue Guan searched for news online and found out that the report had been posted online and aroused heated discussion.

"I thought I was the only one who liked watching the troublemaking foursome."

"The lead actor really persuaded him to quit. I just like to see the little emperor causing trouble."

"It seems that the public's eyes are really sharp, and everyone likes the same thing."

The audience was talking a lot. At this time, Wang Jing came on the stage.

"My favorite character in the drama "No. 1 Under Heaven" is not the four leading actors, but the Little Emperor. In fact, I filmed the four leading actors for the audience. I thought the audience likes to see the faces of celebrities and emotional scenes. The Little Emperor, Characters like Yagyu Piaoxu, who are determined to pursue careers with determination and determination, are my own artistic pursuits. However, this kind of characters are not mainstream positive characters. I only dare to add scenes to them secretly. If I were allowed to film according to my heart, I would I will film the Little Emperor as the male protagonist, even if he is not so positive, but he is real enough, his acting skills are impeccable, and he truly portrays the emperor's complex humanity.

I underestimated the current audience, and I want to apologize to the audience. Facts have proved that the audience's aesthetic taste has actually improved a long time ago, and it is us directors who need to improve. "

After seeing this news, the audience said that Director Wang, you should film according to your heart.

The four leading actors cordially greeted Wang Jing's eighteen generations of ancestors.

As for Yue Guan, he vomited.

"This damn fat guy can really say anything to make money." Yue Guan was speechless.

Wang Jing has an artistic pursuit of wool, and he just wants to make money.

Mo Xiangwan looked strange: "Not only does he dare to speak, but he is also more capable of action. I received news that he contacted CCTV and re-edited the following episodes, cutting one-third of the scenes of the four leading actors in the following episodes. Most of it is given to you.”

Yue Guan said seriously: "Director Wang is definitely the best director in the Dragon Kingdom."

Mo Xiangwan glanced at Yue Guan: "Didn't you call him a fat guy just now? Didn't you still complain about the leading actors?"

Yue Guan's eyes widened: "Sister Xiang Wan, how could you taint my innocence out of thin air? I have always respected Director Wang, and I have a sincere heart, which can be learned from the sky."

Mo Xiangwan rolled his eyes.
