Huayu is free to do as you like

Since September, [Noon Sunshine] Company has been shrouded in an atmosphere of joy.

Including the crew of "Ode to Joy" which is filming in the middle of this month, the director and crew are in a very good mood every day.

September is definitely the month when [the midday sun] begins to harvest.

"The Pretender", which started airing on Mango Channel on the 14th, attracted widespread attention as soon as it was launched.

The ratings on the first day exceeded 1, reaching a good score of 1.306, with a viewership share of 4.17%. This data has the potential to develop into a hit drama.

The follow-up "Pretender" has indeed lived up to expectations. With its excellent quality, its performance has soared. The highest ratings have reached 2.145 ten days after its launch. Various discussions on the Internet are also particularly high, becoming another hit in the second half of this year. TV drama.

Many people compare this TV series to Sun Honglei's "Insidious", calling it the best spy drama after "Insidious".

There is just one thing. During the promotion of "The Pretender", the male lead was Hu Ge, the actor of "Mingtai". Jin Dong and Wang Kai, who played the eldest and second brothers, were the second and third male respectively.

Many viewers did come because of Hu Ge's name when the TV series first came online.

However, with the development of the plot, the male protagonist's character and Hu Ge's performance gradually became less likable. Instead, the eldest brother "Ming Lou" played by Jin Dong, because of his likable character and the actor's wonderful performance, became the most likable character. In terms of popularity, it completely surpassed the male protagonist "Mingtai" and became the audience's favorite character.

To be honest, Jin Dong really brought the role of "Ming Lou" to life. His mature and steady temperament blended with the innate quality of a noble son, and his bottomless eyes revealed cunning and sinister wisdom. In addition, the age The show's unique low-key and gorgeous appearance exudes charm that makes people unable to look straight at it.

And he is an absolutely high-IQ character. Many TV viewers can’t help but sigh: Now just seeing Jin Dong’s face, they feel a strong IQ crushing!

Like the male protagonist, the female protagonist "Cheng Jinyun" of "The Pretender" is also not liked by the audience.

Netizens complained about her round face, dullness, dullness and stiffness, especially in the scene of rescuing the workers. The setting of the character's IQ was very touching.

In contrast, the second female lead "Yu Manli" played by Song Yi is poignant and smart, and is very popular with everyone.

Even the female villain "Wang Manchun" played by Wang Ou is more popular than the heroine.

[Ode to Joy] crew.

At noon, Hou Hongliang had dinner with Director Kong Sheng and several assistant directors.

He is also the producer of this TV series, and he has to come over to the set from time to time.

"Mr. Hou, [Nirvana in Fire] will be online today, right?"

Director Kong Sheng asked casually while eating.

"Yes, tonight at 19:30, it will be broadcast on both channels in Beijing and Shanghai."

Director Kong frowned after hearing this.

"[The Pretender] is also broadcast at 19:30 every night on Mango Channel. Doesn't this mean we are beating ourselves up?"

Hou Hongliang was a little helpless.

"I don't want to either. Both dramas have been sold to TV stations. It's up to them to decide when they will be broadcast. All we can do is try our best to promote the dramas and strive to achieve good results for the dramas."

Then he smiled again:

"[Nirvana in Fire] was co-directed by you and Li Xue, but [The Pretender] was shot by Lao Li alone. After a while, [Nirvana in Fire] will not be as good as [The Pretender]. You are in Lao Li I can’t raise my head in front of me~”

Director Kong didn't care after hearing this and continued to eat.

"As a team, we have been filming back and forth, and everyone knows which drama is good and which drama is bad.

Both "Nirvana in Fire" and "The Pretender" are high-quality TV series produced by our company, but Lao Li probably knows in his heart that "The Pretender" is actually inferior to "The Pretender" in terms of production.

But now [Pretender] has become popular and has a first-mover advantage.

And TV dramas with good quality do not necessarily achieve good results.

In the end, it's really not certain which of the two TV series will have better broadcast results. "

Not to mention the cast, the production cost of "Pretender" is indeed much lower than "Nirvana in Fire".

"What you said is correct, but you overlooked a very important factor?"

Hou Hongliang looked at Director Kong with a smile.

"What?"

Kong Sheng also raised his head with a puzzled look on his face.

"Gu Wei, the male protagonist of [Nirvana in Fire]!

None of the TV series he has filmed have had poor results after being released. I don't believe ours will be an exception.

In addition, his fan energy is something that no one in domestic entertainment can underestimate.

So although [The Pretender] is now popular, I still have great confidence in [Nirvana in Fire].

September and October will be great months for our company! "

Hou Hongliang said confidently.

On the other side of the crew, Zeng Li and Yang Zi were also eating together.

[Ode to Joy] In this film, the five actresses are definitely the protagonists, and all the stories in the TV series happen around them.

But there is a saying that goes well, relationships will become complicated when there are many women.

Far away there are all kinds of intrigues in the emperor's harem, and nearby there is the female dormitory of our college students, with four people and five groups, and the various relationships are also very messy.

Although Wumei looks like a family in the camera, in reality everyone has their own identities and personalities, and there is a high probability that they will not be able to play together.

It was also because of Gu Wei's relationship that Yang Zi and Zeng Li came into contact and found that each other had very good personalities, and they gradually became good friends.

"Sister Li, will you watch a show tonight?"

Yang Zi took a bite of rice and asked.

"What show?"

Once separated and incomprehensible.

"You're still pretending, I don't believe you don't know, Director Kong and Gu Wei's TV series [Nirvana in Fire], it's 7:30 tonight."

"Oh, this, you must see it!"

Zeng Li always spoke slowly and leisurely.

"Hehe~ Then I'll go to your room tonight. It's not fun to watch alone."

"You, okay, come here.

But don't bring any snacks. Eat at night to gain weight. "

Zeng Li knew that Yang Zi liked to eat snacks, so he specially asked her.

Yang Zi was a little embarrassed.

"Well~ I'll just bring a little bit."

"."

That night, the actors finished work and Zeng Li returned to the room after dinner.

After changing clothes and washing up, with a black mask on his face, the doorbell rang.

She looked up and saw that it was almost half past seven, and knew that Yang Zi must be outside the door.

Sure enough, when he opened the door, Yang Zi was standing outside the door wearing light yellow pajamas and a pink headband, holding a pile of snacks.

Judging from her fresh face, she must have taken off her makeup.

"Didn't I ask you to bring less food?"

Zeng Li said helplessly.

"Ah, Sister Li, I didn't even eat at night, just to eat while watching a drama."

Yang Zi said coquettishly.

Zeng Li couldn't turn around and let her in.

"Did you put on a facial mask at night?"

Zeng Li asked while looking at Yang Zi who piled food in front of the sofa.

"Not yet, I just took off my makeup and simply washed up."

"Then you can use mine. This is hydrating and moisturizing, just like the one on my face."

"Thank you, Sister Li~"

Yang Zi happily took it and prepared to stick it on herself.

At this time, there are many viewers across the country like them waiting in front of the TV for the broadcast of "Nirvana in Fire".

Song Yi was a junior high school student. She came home from school and finished her homework. She happily sat on the sofa and turned the TV to Beijing Channel.

While she was happily waiting for her idol's TV series to start airing, her mother, who was sitting next to her, took the remote control and switched back to Mango TV.

"[The Pretender] will start playing soon, why are you changing the channel!"

After hearing this, Song Yi sat down next to her mother and hugged her arm, acting like a baby.

"Mom~ [Nirvana in Fire] premieres today, I want to watch that!"

"No, our family has been watching this TV series recently, and we have watched more than 20 episodes.

Besides, didn’t you like watching it before? "

Her mother rejected her without mercy.

“[The Pretender] is good, but [Nirvana in Fire] is a TV series starring Gu Wei. It is a major drama with a large-scale costume production, so you definitely can’t miss it.

Mom~ Just let me see it, please~”

Song Yi's voice was sticky, and she hugged her mother's arm without letting go, shaking it back and forth.

Father Song looked on happily.

"Okay, okay, my head hurts from shaking it~"

"Mom, do you agree?"

Song Yi said in surprise.

"no!"

"ah"

Song Yi drooped her head and was in a bad mood.

"But as long as you agree to one condition, I'll let you see it!"

Her mother gave her a little more hope.

"What conditions?"

"As long as you can guarantee that you will be among the top five in the class in the final exam this semester, I will let you watch.

If you can't do it, your pocket money will be halved for the next semester! "

"Top five, top ten, okay?"

The little girl was very confused.

She really wanted to watch the show, but she was afraid that if she couldn't reach her goal at the end of the term, her pocket money would be halved.

"Only the top five, if you can't do it, your pocket money will be halved!"

Mom said firmly.

Song Yi looked up at the time and gritted her teeth. It was almost half past seven.

"Oh well!

I agreed. "

Mom raised her palm with a smile on her face.

"A gentleman's word"

Song Yi also gave her mother a high-five in cooperation.

"It's hard to chase a horse!"

Then she picked up the remote control and quickly tuned to Beijing Channel.

[Nirvana in Fire] The opening song is playing.

Song's mother and Song's father, who was silent the whole time, looked at each other and smiled.

For them, it doesn't matter what TV series they watch. Having such an introduction to urge their daughters to study is their purpose.

Return to the hotel of the crew of [Ode to Joy].

Zeng Li and Yang Zi were sitting side by side on the sofa, watching the "Nirvana in Fire" that had just been broadcast on TV.

The two of them were wearing pajamas of different colors. One was mature, charming, and charming, while the other was young, cute, and full of energy.

While watching, Yang Zi stuffed potato chips into his mouth, his mouth bulging like a little squirrel eating.

At the beginning of the TV series, the background slowly opened and it was said that there was a very powerful gang in the Jianghu called Jiangzuo League. The leader of the Jiangzuo League, "Mei Changsu", was extremely intelligent. Although he had no power to tie a chicken, he allowed All the martial arts masters under his command obeyed him. Under his leadership, the Jiangzuo Alliance grew stronger day by day.

And now there is a rumor circulating, "Whoever wins the Qilin Talent can conquer the world."

The crown prince and Prince Yu of Daliang are vying for the throne, and they both want the assistance of the "Qilin Talent". They speculate that "Mei Changsu" is the legendary "Qilin Talent".

"We're halfway through the first episode, why does the protagonist Gu Wei still show up?"

Yang Zi complained impatiently.

"Don't worry. The opening of this TV series is quite interesting to me. It has been foreshadowing how awesome this 'Mei Changsu' is. I guess you won't be disappointed when he appears soon."

Zeng Li consoled him from the side.

Sure enough, on the vast expanse of water, filled with smoke, "Ji Ying", the leader of the Shuangsha Gang, was leading his men in a boat to chase and kill an old couple who came to Beijing to complain.

At this time, the sound of bamboo flutes suddenly came from the river, and "Ji Ying" hurriedly called his men to stop the boat.

The camera turned and a small boat appeared in front of everyone. "Mei Changsu" played by Gu Wei stood alone on the boat and played a bamboo flute. He had a cool temperament and fluttering white clothes.

Then "Ji Ying" on the big ship put his hands together and bowed in salute.

"Win in the next season. I was reckless and mistakenly entered the land of Jiangzuo. I hope that Master Mei will forgive me!"

Gu Wei turned around and the camera advanced to give a close-up of the front and full body.

Dressed in ancient costume, he is just like what is described in the ancient article.

The stranger is like jade, and the young master is unparalleled in the world!

"Wow! Gu Wei's costume is so handsome. He already has a very good appearance. This kind of ancient costume is really amazing!

How to say that idiom, yes, throw the fruit into the car!

If he had been born in ancient times, maybe there would be one more idiom to describe handsome men today. "

Yang Zi looked at Gu Wei's appearance with a look of surprise on his face, completely forgetting his complaint just now.

Zeng Li pursed his lips and smiled and did not answer.

She looked at Gu Wei on TV, who looked like a god descending to earth, and thought of the first time she met him more than 2 years ago when filming "Tang Detective".

Although I thought Gu Wei was handsome at that time, he didn't have the unparalleled temperament he has now.

Observing carefully, there is no change in the facial features, but the skin has become better and the whole person looks more classy. Is it the legendary red energy that nourishes people?

As one of the people who was very close to Gu Wei, she watched Gu Wei's growth throughout the process.

Soon, today’s two episodes were finished.

The two people sitting on the sofa were a little unfinished.

Yang Zi clicked her lips twice and dug her hands into the snack bag out of habit, but found nothing.

Look down.

"Yeah! I've eaten all the big bag I brought. Damn it, I'm going to gain weight!"

She complained with a frown on her face.

At this time, Yang Zi was like countless ordinary girls who couldn't control themselves even if they wanted to lose weight.

If you don’t eat it, you will feel uncomfortable, but if you eat it, you will regret it.

"Okay~ The TV series is over. Go back and rest quickly. We have to get up early for the show tomorrow."

Zeng Li said from the side.

"Then I'm leaving, Sister Li. I'll come see you tomorrow night!"

Yang Zi stood up and was about to walk out.

"Don't bring so many snacks tomorrow~"

Zeng Li reminded.

[Nirvana in Fire] has ended its premiere. The ratings for the first broadcast on Beijing and Shanghai TV stations exceeded 1, with Beijing Satellite TV having the highest rating of 1.76.

You must know that this is two TV stations dividing the audience. Looking at the results, if it is broadcast on a single channel, there is absolutely no problem in the first broadcast ratings exceeding 2.

The leaders of the Beijing TV station were also very happy. They were a little hesitant when they bought the TV series. After all, it was expensive, so they jointly bought it with Shanghai Satellite TV.

Originally, Mango Channel and Blueberry Channel were also competing with them, but Mango Channel bought [Pretender], and Beijing Satellite TV had some relationship with [Noon Sunshine]. In the end, the bids from several local satellite TVs were similar. Take [Nirvana in Fire].

Now that I look at it, I can see that the money was well spent.

As the saying goes, some people are happy and some are sad.

While Beijing TV was very happy with the results of the TV series' premiere, backstage at Mango TV, the leaders were not satisfied.

[The Pretender], which was already popular, has not dropped since its ratings reached 2. As a result, after the data came out today, the ratings were 1.923, which is back to less than 2.

Although this result is still very high, if you count the ratings of a single channel, it still ranks first in the same time period.

[Nirvana in Fire] Because of the dual-channel broadcast, it took the highest ratings of Beijing Channel and ranked second in the same time period.

Shanghai Satellite TV ranked third in the same period with a ratings of 1.34.

"Leader, [Nirvana in Fire] premiered today, diverting a lot of our viewers. After all, these two dramas are broadcast in two consecutive episodes at 7:30 pm, and the broadcast times completely overlap. The audience can only choose one of them when they turn on the TV at this time. Watch the show."

In the office, Director Tian looked at the data sheet in his hand and thought a lot.

He is not worried about the decline in the data of "The Pretender" on this day. He is afraid that "Nirvana in Fire" will occupy more and more viewers in the later period, causing the performance of his own TV series to continue to decline.

"Is there any good way?"

He asked, looking up at his subordinate.

"Actually, it seems now that the quality of the two dramas is not much different. Our "Pretender" was aired for more than ten days first, and now it has become popular, so it has a big advantage.

It's just that [Nirvana in Fire] has the support of the big star Gu Wei, so its popularity is not bad at the first broadcast. With more episodes being aired in the future, I'm afraid its performance will increase. "

Assistant Xiao Ma analyzed.

"I know what you are saying. The most urgent thing now is to figure out a way to avoid the subsequent decline in the ratings of our [Pretender]."

Director Tian was a little impatient.

"Leader, have you ever thought that we are not going to compete with [Nirvana in Fire]?"

"No, why not?"

Director Tian doesn't understand.

“[The Pretender] is essentially still an excellent TV series that has become a hit. Today, it’s just because viewers have to choose one or the other that the ratings have dropped.

Then we can just let them watch it without having to choose.

In this way, no matter how explosive [Nirvana in Fire] is, they will be angry with others, and we will be angry with ours. "

Xiao Ma said with a smile on his face.

Director Tian also understood at this time.

"You mean we changed the broadcast time of [The Pretender] so that the audience can watch theirs without delaying watching ours."

"Yes, that's it, leader!"

Director Tian thought seriously and clapped his hands.

"What a great idea. I'll apply to the leader right now."

He stood up and walked out.

When passing by Pony, he patted him on the shoulder.

"That's right. After the time change, the TV series' ratings recovered. I'll give you a credit!"

“It’s all because of the good leadership of the director.”

Soon, the first week of [Nirvana in Fire] went online.

With 2 episodes a day, 14 episodes were broadcast.

The TV series is completely popular. Unlike the high ratings that the first broadcast achieved thanks to publicity and Gu Wei's popularity, as the plot develops, the audience has been completely attracted by the story, completely entering the world of [Nirvana in Fire] and becoming the protagonist. From the perspective of "Mei Changsu".

They will be happy that "Mei Changsu" solves each problem through wisdom and planning, they will be happy that the protagonist has successfully avenged his former enemies, and they will also feel heartbroken that the hero and heroine meet but cannot recognize each other.

[Nirvana in Fire] Relying on its absolutely high quality, it is the best at the beginning.

Nearly 300,000 people on Douban gave it a super-high score of 9.4. Before this, the only costume TV dramas rated 9 on Douban were "The Ming Dynasty 1566" and "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

[The TV series is so exciting. Everything about the costumes and props is so exquisite, especially the casting. Gu Wei is the perfect choice for "Mei Changsu". He completely interprets the nobility of a young man from an aristocratic family. He is so handsome. ! ! 】

[I really like this kind of slow-paced costume drama. I just think it’s a hothead, but I still like this kind of slow-paced TV drama.

I often go back and rewatch some dialogues a second time. Finally, I want to say that because of this drama, I think Hanfu is really beautiful. 】

[If this can’t all be five stars, I will never trust Douban again! For someone like me who has never even read the novel, I really feel that the plot of the TV series is ups and downs, the actors are on point, and the production is excellent! Looking forward to the next development of the plot! ! 】

[I have always been disgusted with Sues like "Mary Sue" and "Jack Sue", and I only like "Mei Chang Sue"! ! 】

[Visual prediction is that it is going to be a masterpiece. Pretenders can’t stand it. I can’t stop watching this! 】

[Watched it once, and watched it twice for the parts that I thought were wonderful. It’s a conscience drama, with all the details in place, and the actors’ acting skills are top-notch. There should be more dramas like this. Domestic dramas can be saved! 】

[It may be an exaggeration to say this: this drama is like a pot of good tea with a long flavor. It is elegant at first, refreshing in the mouth, then slightly bitter, and after a long time, I feel that the meaning is not exhausted...]

[I can’t help myself when watching Gu Wei’s drama~ The best TV drama in 2015! ! ! 】

【.】

One week after the TV series went online, Beijing Satellite TV's highest ratings reached 2.68, and Shanghai Satellite TV also broke 2, reaching 2.014.

This is the first TV series to break the second-tier ranking on both channels this year.

On the third day after the broadcast of "Nirvana in Fire", Mango Channel changed the broadcast time of "The Pretender" every night from the original 7:30 to 8:40, which is perfectly in line with the broadcast time of "Nirvana in Fire" staggered.

After changing the time, the ratings of [Pretender] returned to above 2.

Among all local TV dramas during the entire period, the first and third TV dramas in terms of average ratings are "Nirvana in Fire", and the second one is "The Pretender" on Mango Channel.

As for the remaining TV series, only "The Legend of the Swordsman" filmed by Zhao Liying, Chen Weiting, and Wu Qilong was broadcast on Lychee Channel, with a ratings of above 1, and the others basically did not perform well.

In particular, I would like to talk about "The Song of Romance in the Clouds" which was aired almost at the same time as "The Pretender".

This TV series is co-produced by Baby and three handsome guys Du Chun, Lu Yi, and Chen Xiao. It is broadcast at the Diamond Private Theater on Mango Channel, the same weekly theater where Gu Wei's "Gu Jian Qi Tan" became popular.

Unfortunately, the ratings for the first broadcast were only 0.874. Subsequently, it struggled to reach 1, and then the ratings fluctuated around 1.

Moreover, it has a very bad reputation, with a Douban score of only 3.7, which is a complete flop.

However, Da Baobei is currently preparing for her wedding to Xiao Mingge, and she probably won't be able to care about her own TV series.

Moreover, she was at the height of her popularity because of the popularity of Running Man, so the failure of a drama did not concern her.

In the early morning, the golden sunlight slowly filled the entire bedroom. After an intense exercise last night, Tang Yan, who had slept soundly all night, slowly opened his eyes.

He raised a pair of tender white lotus-rooted arms and stretched slightly.

Then he sat up, and the light silk fabric slipped off his body, revealing a large area of ​​beautiful scenery.

He reached out and scratched his head, but he still looked not quite sober.

The people in the bedroom were pushed away from the outside. Gu Wei was wearing light blue pajamas and leaning against the door frame.

He looked at Tang Yan, the beauty who had just woken up, with a smile on his face.

"Sister Tangtang, are you awake?

I just wanted to come over and call you. "

After recording "Extreme Challenge", Gu Wei stayed in Shanghai for a few more days. According to the arrangements of "Noon Sunshine", he and Tang Yan attended the premiere press conference of the "Nirvana in Fire" TV series.

After that, they appeared on an interview program on Shanghai TV together. Naturally, Gu Wei and Tang Yan couldn't refuse this kind of thing for the same purpose of publicity.

After recording the program, Tang Yan looked at him expectantly with her beautiful eyes. Gu Wei naturally understood instantly and took her back to the house at COFCO Seaview No. 1.

"what time is it?"

"At half past eight, breakfast is ready and waiting for you to eat together~"

Tang Yan showed a big smile to Gu Wei, then lifted the quilt, stepped out of the bed with her long white legs, put on her pajamas and walked out of the bedroom.

After a while, the two sat at the dining table and ate together.

There are many kinds of breakfast, including soy milk, millet porridge, steamed dumplings, fried pancakes, etc. Yang Chaoyue went out to buy them early in the morning.

"Sister Tangtang, I will be visiting the capital soon."

Gu Wei said while drinking porridge.

"So fast?"

"No way, there's work over there."

Tang Yan put a piece of fried food into a bowl. She was from Shanghai, so she still liked to eat this traditional Shanghai snack.

"I will have to join the crew for filming in a few days~"

"Sister Tangtang is in a movie or a TV series?"

Gu Wei asked casually.

"A movie with John Chung and Lee Min Ho is called [Bounty Hunter]."

"Wow! Sister Tangtang, you are so powerful now. You are acting with two male idols at the same time. You are definitely a big star!"

Gu Wei exaggerated.

"Stop it!"

Tang Yan patted him lightly with a smile on his face.

"But having said that, I really want to thank you. I never thought that [Nirvana in Fire], which we filmed together, would be so popular now!"

She sighed somewhat.

The recent popularity of "Nirvana in Fire" has made the heroine Tang Yan even more popular.

The role of "Princess Nihuang" she played in it won the love of many audiences.

Everyone said that Tang Yan finally stopped playing the heroine Mary Sue, and "Princess Nihuang" is a manifestation of her successful transformation.

"Haha~ These are all routine operations, nothing to me.

This happens in every drama I play, so don't be surprised. "

Gu Wei said stinkingly.

Tang Yan smiled and didn't criticize him. Although he was suspected of being pretentious, Gu Wei was telling the truth.

Counting "Nirvana in Fire", he has already aired two modern dramas, two costume dramas, and four consecutive hit TV series.

This kind of achievement is completely unique to Scorpion in the entertainment industry.

Dazhang, I wish everyone a happy holiday! !
