Huayu started by giving the system to female stars

Chapter 283 282. Both dramas are so confusing, do they deserve to argue?

"Isn't it said that a long break is better than a newlywed? Why are you looking so sad?"

After Wei Wu settled Mao Xiaotong, he went to meet Yang Mi secretly, but he never expected to find that she was a little depressed as soon as they met.

Yang Mi sighed and said the reason: "You don't know yet, right? Our "Wang Zhaojun" aired..."

Wei Wu was a little surprised: "Did it broadcast it? When did it broadcast it?"

No need to ask, you can tell by looking at her expression that the ratings of "Wang Zhaojun" must not be very good.

But Wei Wu had expected this. If "Wang Zhaojun" became a hit, wouldn't Yang Mi have become popular in her previous life? Why do we need to wait for "Legend of Sword and Fairy III" and "The Palace"?

"It premiered the day before yesterday, September 28th."

"Is it a CCTV set?"

"Yeah", Yang Mi nodded.

Wei Wu shrugged: "How can the CCTV one be any worse?"

Yang Mi sighed again: "Oh, it's broadcast late at night."

"Ah?" Wei Wu asked in surprise:

"It's not prime time? So what show is being played on prime time now?"

Wei Wu really didn't expect this. You must know that this drama was produced by China Television (a wholly-owned subsidiary of CCTV), and the investment was not small. The total investment in 2005 was as high as 20 million yuan.

The investment was so high, and it was a CCTV-produced drama with a proven track record. The director was Chen Jialin, who had directed "Emperor Tang Ming" and "Dynasty of Tang Xi". But in the end, it didn't make it to prime time?

It seems that CCTV found that the drama "Wang Zhaojun" was indeed average during the internal review stage, so it simply did not put it on prime time.

Yang Mi said an unfamiliar drama title: ""A Number of Romantic Figures""

Wei Wu thought for a moment, what kind of drama is this? It seems like I don’t have any impression!

"I've never heard of it. Who acted in it?"

Yang Mi gave him a detailed introduction: "This drama tells the story of anti-special forces that took place on the public security front in Guangzhou during the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. The starring roles are Jiang Shan and Ren Quan. It will be broadcast on September 16."

Wei Wu's tone became more and more certain: "Well, I really haven't heard of it. Why does this drama squeeze you out of the prime time slot?"

It's really not that Wei Wu was talking to Yang Mi on purpose. He really didn't have any impression of this drama.

ha? Did Ren Quan and Jiang Shan film a TV series together?

Although I haven’t watched this drama, I somehow feel that they don’t seem to be a good match!

Yang Mi thought for a while and said, "Probably because the director of this drama is Mao Weining! He has previously filmed "The Plum Blossom Files" and "The Dawns Here Are Quiet."

Wei Wu nodded: "It turns out to be him, no wonder!"

These two works are quite famous, especially "Plum Blossom Files", which was the 5th most popular drama in ratings in 2004.

However, Wei Wu is more familiar with another of his works, "The Ordinary World".

Although Wei Wu hasn't watched this drama, he can often see clips of Northwest Hammer King and Xiulian on station B.

Seeing that Yang Mi was dejected, Wei Wu could only comfort him casually:

“At least it’s still airing and there’s no continued backlog, which shows that the TV station hasn’t completely given up on your show.

"If the late-night ratings are okay, there is still a chance it will be moved to prime time later."

Yang Mi shook her head and said, "No chance! The response to our show has been mediocre since it aired, and the reputation is not very good.

“Some viewers complained that the director’s techniques were old-fashioned and outdated, and the pace was slow and dragging!

“Some viewers complained that my character Wang Zhaojun was too thin and had a straight face most of the time.

"Did you know? Our version of Wang Zhaojun has a total of relationships with six men:

"The young hunter Wang Huai who was her childhood sweetheart; the romantic county magistrate Zhang Zixian who pursued her; Wang Huai's brother Wang Dun who had a crush on her and the imperial general Wang Dun who returned to his hometown to visit his relatives; Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty; Hu Hanxie Chanyu whom she later married; and Hu Han After Xie's death, she remarried her eldest son Huzhi Chanyu.

"Due to the pale lines and bizarre plot, the audience complained about Wang Zhaojun's emotional scenes, which seemed redundant most of the time and made her look like a free-spirited woman."

Wei Wu laughed without restraining himself. Seeing Yang Mi looking at him dissatisfied, he quickly cleared his throat to remedy the situation:

"Ahem, no matter how you say it, Wang Zhaojun is one of the four beauties. Six men like him, and even all the men around her like her. It's not unreasonable!

"At least Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty still had small and large chanyus. This is all historical and can be verified, and it is not considered a random fabrication."

Yang Mi stamped her feet and said, "Oh, I'm almost mad! Are you still laughing at me?"

Wei Wu took advantage of the situation and put his left hand around her waist, and gently stroked her back with his right hand, helping her calm down and saying:

"Okay, calm down! What a big deal!

"Anyway, your "Sheep Star" was a hit! What's more, wasn't your previous "Youth" also a box office hit?

"Since two works have already exploded this year, it doesn't matter whether "Wang Zhaojun" is a smash or not."

"Sheep Star" was officially broadcast on Taiwan on July 22, and Anhui Satellite TV randomly bought out the five-year exclusive broadcast rights in the mainland for a price of tens of millions.

Normally, it should be aired during prime time in August, but because Anwei TV had already purchased "Snow Leopard"——

Therefore, we can only move "Sheep Stars" to the night time slot (22:00-24:00), and then rebroadcast it in the noon time slot (11:40-13:40).

Unexpectedly, "Sheep Star" was out of control after it was aired. The ratings on the first day of airing were as high as 1.03, which was three times higher than the previous drama.

Because it avoided direct competition with "Snow Leopard" and "Soldier Assault", this drama easily won the first place in ratings during its time period.

Especially for the finale, the real-time ratings were as high as 2.77, setting a mainland ratings record for a drama imported from Taiwan.

In the past two months, the most popular dramas on the market are of course "Soldier Assault" and "Snow Leopard", and then there is "Sheep Star".

But having said that, the popularity of "Sheep Star" is still different from the other two dramas.

"Soldier Assault" and "Snow Leopard" are already among the top dramas in terms of ratings throughout the year. In terms of popularity and influence, they are undoubtedly the top two dramas of the year.

And "Sheep Star" is a little bit worse. At least it didn't make it into the top ten in ratings, which was around 13th to 15th place.

But despite this, it is already a hit drama of the year!

After the show was aired, Yang Mi's popularity skyrocketed, and now she is a top-notch one.

Facing Wei Wu’s comfort, Yang Mi still sighed and said:

"Actually, the reason why I'm angry is not entirely because of the low ratings. A large part of the reason is because of the popularity of those people on the Internet!"

Wei Wu couldn't help but smile, you are indeed a fool, you are so powerful, you have a little black spot just after you became famous?

This bowl of black and red rice will make you eat clearly!

"What did they say?"

Yang Mi did not answer but asked:

"Last year, CCTV 8 had a drama called "Zhaojun Leaving the Wall," do you know?"

Wei Wu thought for a while and said, "Hmm... I don't know."

Yang Mi nodded: "It was played by Li Caiye and was broadcast on the prime time TV drama channel.

"Because we both played Wang Zhaojun, and both were broadcast on CCTV, we were naturally compared.

"In short, the result is that my fans and Li Caiye's fans are quarreling online."

Wei Wu was a little curious: "Really? Why is it so noisy?"

Yang Mi spread her hands and said: "Li Caiye's fans said: The Wang Zhaojun she played was graceful and generous, and her style was charming; in comparison, the Wang Zhaojun I played was like an underdeveloped little girl.

"My fans think: The Wang Zhaojun I play is purer in temperament than the Li version, and the appearance is prettier than the Li version. In real comparison, the Wang Zhaojun played by Li Caiye is like an aunt.

"Then the fans here said: The ratings of "Zhaojun Leaving the Fortress" are low, and it can only be ranked 97th in the year. What else is there to do?

"Then her fans said: "Zhaojun Goes Out" is at least broadcast in the prime time slot, while your "Wang Zhaojun" can only be broadcast in the late night slot.

"It shows that CCTV itself lacks confidence in this drama, let alone the ratings!"

Wei Wu couldn't help laughing: "Haha, the fans of your two families are so powerful!"

In fact, Wei Wu wanted to complain. Both dramas are so confusing. The eldest brother should not laugh at the second brother. How can he have the nerve to quarrel?

Even if your two dramas are broadcast on CCTV, not many people will watch them. Why should they make a fuss?

Of course, you can't say this. Wouldn't saying it just add fuel to the fire?

So Wei Wu could only hug her and comfort her:

"What can a drama mean? Let's talk about this again. Maybe this is her fans trying to get your attention. Why are you paying attention to them?

"You should look forward now and be promoted to the front line as soon as possible. In a while, Li Caiye won't even be able to see the taillights of your car. Let her go!"

Even when Li Caiye was at his peak, he never touched the edge of the first line, at most he was considered the second or third line.

This is still based on the premise that "The Temptation of Going Home" is popular. But the ratings of this drama are so high, Wei Wu naturally has no reason to miss it.

The script of this drama has been registered by him a long time ago. Even if he doesn't shoot it himself, it will definitely be handed over to a director under Wei Guo Pictures.

Of course, the role of Ellie is definitely not destined to be with Li Caiye. If this is the case, she may not even be able to reach the second or third level.

Only then did Yang Mi's expression change from cloudy to clear: "Okay, I'll just listen to you and look forward!"
