China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 217 Ratings Soar

Xu Sheng and other senior executives still did not argue with Chen Jingxing, of course, because Chen Jingxing is the big boss of the holding parent company, and no one can veto what he decided.

The project leader of "Your Name" selected by Chen Jingxing, or the animation director, is Wu Han, who is producing the second season of "Star God".

First, "The Legend of the Star God" itself is a two-dimensional animation. The team led by Wu Han gathered the most elite 2D animation talents after the merger with Tianhe Anime. Although he also produced the 3D animation "The Power Cat" in the last few years of Tianhe Anime, this is a relatively low-level 3D animation. His strength is still two-dimensional animation. Even though Mo has poached many animation talents, Wu Han is still the highest-level in the computer animation department.

Second, in Chen Jingxing's view, Wu Han himself is a rare animation artist and the top animator. Even if he is in Japan, he is definitely a first-class animator. "The Legend of the Star God" can gain the unanimous reputation of domestic anime fans and become the "red rose" they are obsessed with. It is not only a passionate story, but also beautiful and gorgeous pictures, as well as artistic design that completely exceeds the level of domestic anime.

"Your Name" requires an aesthetic style. The most precious thing about this movie is its unique temperament, which can be said to be an extremely fresh style. Even in Japan, where the plane animation industry is stronger in the previous life, this style and temperament are almost unique, and it is relatively alternative. It is also based on this style of painting that can express extremely delicate emotions. Only a few animation masters can compare with Makoto Shinkai in this very delicate emotional expression, and this style can best hit the G-spot of the Chinese film market.

Any fresh and fresh live-action love movie with a quality above the level can almost achieve extraordinary success in the Chinese film market. Chen Jingxing believes that it will not be bad if he changes to animation.

He trusted Wu Han's ability, so he pushed this project to Wu Han. Although Wu Han was a little disappointed that Chen Jingxing was not going to start the movie "Star God" movie, he was still very excited to produce another animated movie after four years.

The production cost of the "Star God" movie version that lost Tianhe Animation in 2011 was actually similar to the estimated budget of "Your Name". This is already very rare in the Chinese animation industry today. Being able to produce two 50 million animated movies is definitely one of the best among domestic animation people, and there is no one else to find - if it is not considered that Xiang Xuan, who is about to invest 130 million 3D animated movies, will soon become the director of a 3D animated movie.

However, mainstream viewers generally don’t think "Signal" is ugly. Some film and television dramas may not necessarily understand their settings, especially for works with relatively complex settings. The narrative rhythm, picture, soundtrack and emotional communication of "Signal" are all first-class. Not understanding the science fiction settings does not mean that you cannot understand the plot.

In addition, many families who have long lost the habit of watching TV have rarely reactivated the TV that they may not have turned on in their eight lifetimes, and transferred to Mango TV.

The "butterfly effect" was clearly shown for the first time in the third episode, because Qin Hai's reminder twenty years later, Li Shi'an arrived in time to rescue the fourth victim who had been wrapped in a black cloth bag and was about to sink to the bottom of the river. At the same time, the timeline twenty years later, whether it was the file archives or the analysis pictures that Qin Hai was drawing on the whiteboard, the fourth victim of this well-known serial murder case had the words "survival".

After a week of waiting and a week of reputation fermentation, many netizens who did not watch the first two episodes on TV also watched the first and second episodes on major video platforms. Because "Signal" threw the king out at the beginning, and the first two episodes solved a case and left a tail, so the first two episodes can basically be regarded as a small, relatively complete mini-show. This fast pace has allowed many viewers to directly watch the drama, and netizens can't wait to see the third and fourth episodes as soon as possible.

Episode 3 and 4 premiered on TV, and the online platform will not be updated until midnight, so many netizens cannot wait for the online update and are ready to take a sneak peek on TV. There are countless "home accidents" that compete for the remote control in a while.

Because of the theme story and rhythm of "Signal", this drama is actually a work that touches young people's interests. The main contributor to the ratings - middle-aged men and women may not think how good this drama is. Not to mention anything else, the setting of the intercom across time and space, and the circular structure of the two male protagonists' connection on the timeline is difficult for middle-aged and elderly people who lack the amount of science fiction movies.

In addition, Sun Li and Deng Chao are both actors with great national popularity, and their ratings are amazing. The ratings of such actors with audience popularity are even far better than the box office appeal of many movie superstars. After all, movies have to be paid out for real money, and TV can be regarded as free to watch.

Just the day after Chen Jingxing arranged Mo to make the next animation film production plan, Mango TV of "Signal" began to play the 34th episode.

Although "Signal" may not reach 2.5, and no one dares to make such bold statements, it is basically a foregone conclusion that the ratings of 2 are broken, which also means that Sun Li's title of Queen of ratings did not encounter a Waterloo in this drama.

The content of "Signal" episode three or four did not disappoint such a hot ratings. After the first kidnapping case of Ma Xiaojing, the more exciting case came to the Shancheng Shoals serial murder case, and the plot was even more heartbreaking.

In this era, no matter which satellite TV TV show ratings can exceed 2, it is considered a popular drama. Of course, it is limited to the popularity of the TV set. Many dramas are very popular in TV sets, and there is no such person on the Internet, especially those family dramas or some main theme works of CCTV. If the ratings exceed 2.5, it can be said to be phenomenal works.

Therefore, most parents in families who hold TV powers in TV are surprised but can accept that Mango TV is the most popular TV. Even if they don’t rob, they may be watching Mango TV.

With various comprehensive factors combined, the third episode broadcast on Mango TV this time achieved a very amazing ratings increase. The ratings of the first two episodes were 1.025, and a week later, the ratings of the third episode reached 1.5, and it even surpassed the almost completed "The Temptation of Wife" which was broadcast during the prime time on Friday. This number basically means that Mango TV's weekly broadcast plan has achieved great success.

According to this trend - if the number of subsequent episodes does not collapse, the ratings of "Signal" are likely to break 2 by the latest next week.

Except for Qin Hai, who still has his original memories, the memories of others including the leader of the Case Recovery Team, and the memories of He Xiuying played by Sun Li were changed overnight.

Moreover, the survivor who was rescued and changed the timeline also got married and had children in Qin Hai's investigation.

This plot is very shocking for many viewers in front of the TV, and it is not difficult to understand. After all, many TV viewers have never watched the movie "Signal", and most people in China have never watched "Signal", otherwise the box office of "Signal" would be more than 1 billion.

Therefore, this plot that connects across time and space and triggers the "butterfly effect" is quite novel for many viewers, especially older viewers.
