This star’s style is wrong

The two episodes of "Nirvana in Fire" were updated on the first day it aired, and I finished watching them before I knew it.

Especially in the second episode, the Empress Dowager played by Zheng Zhihua was very expressive, which directly established the performance quality of this drama.

However, after watching the second episode, the audience suddenly realized that there was no more.

Only two episodes were updated on the first day, and it seemed like I finished watching it before I even watched it.

The meaning is still not finished, I can't stop, I scratch my head and head, and then I feel indignant.

Li Xiaoli was very interested in watching it and was completely in the state of watching the drama. Suddenly she finished watching: "Is this the end? Why are there only two episodes?"

"Satellite TV is synchronized, so it's just two episodes a day." Liu Xiangnan actually feels that two episodes a day is not enough, but he won't show this emotion.

Li Xiaoli was in a more extroverted mood. She slapped the sofa and said angrily: "I'm right on top and it's stuck in the middle and I can't get off."

Liu Xiangnan comforted him and said, "Isn't there another version of "Warm Spring Night in the Lotus Tent"? Let's go back and read it, and then we can almost go to bed."

It's already half past ten, but young people nowadays rarely go to bed so early.

"Okay." Li Xiaoli said, picking up the remote control, reopening "Warm Spring Night in the Lotus Tent" and watching the second episode.

However, the perception when watching the second episode is completely different from when watching the first episode.

Li Xiaoli complained while watching, and the more she complained, the more she complained: "The more I watch, the more I feel that the picture in this sentence is fake, the color of the clothes is too bright, who in the real world would wear such colorful clothes.

"Why is this actor's face so stiff? It looks like he has putty on his face. Even if you can't see the pores, you can't even see him in the middle of his face."

Liu Xiangnan interjected: "Don't you female viewers just like this style of painting? This is a peerless handsome man, charming and suave. Now is the age of male lust."

Li Xiaoli complained while eating melon seeds: "A suave and extremely handsome man, he should look like Mei Changsu. Standing there quietly, it's like... independence from the world, that's what it feels like."

Liu Xiangnan shook his head and said with a smile: "No, Mei Changsu played by Fang Xing doesn't have very heavy makeup. You can see a pimple on the left side of his face near his ear."

Li Xiaoli thought about it for a moment and revealed a mysterious expression: "Yes, the pimples next to Fang Xing's ears were all caught in the camera, and he didn't look like he had much makeup on.

"But why do you think that a modest gentleman should be like this?

"You don't even need to perform big actions, just standing there quietly, you feel like he is the person in the story."

"It's really amazing. I've discovered it a long time ago. I even checked Fang Xing's information for this reason, and he's not an acting major." Liu Xiangnan works in a TV station and is exposed to a lot of TV dramas. Sometimes he needs to use the skills of celebrities in his work. information, so I did check it.

Li Xiaoli shook a melon seed in front of her face and said, "Didn't he minor in musical theater performance at Dongyin? Although he didn't specialize in acting, he should be considered to have studied it.

"As for his acting skills, I'm still convinced by him, and he acts like what he does.

"The show only finished airing in the first half of the year. I originally thought that the image of 'An Xin' would affect this drama. After all, 'The Blast' was so popular."

In the actor industry, there is indeed a situation where a famous role affects an actor for a lifetime.

If this actor cannot make a breakthrough, he may have to live in the shadow of this character for the rest of his life.

"Kurst" is indeed very popular. Before "Nirvana in Fire" started airing, many people felt that the character image of "Kurst" would affect "Nirvana in Fire".

After all, the two dramas have completely different styles and different historical backgrounds, but they both star Fang Xing.

When the audience is watching the drama, once they connect the images of the two characters, there will definitely be drama. In that case, the enjoyment of watching the drama will plummet.

Liu Xiangnan thought for a moment and said, "If you say so, it's true that Fang Xing's image in "Nirvana in Fire" and "Hurry Up" are indeed not skewed.

“The main reason for this is the character image.

"Fang Xing's image in "Hurry Up" was dark and thin. But in "Nirvana in Fire", his image is pale and weak. The contrast between the two is very big, and it is not easy to play together.

"Hey! I thought of a possibility. Do you think it's possible that Fang Xing designed this on purpose?

"He played an ugly role in "Hurry Up", with a dark and thin image. In "Nirvana in Fire", his style changed completely, playing the role of a frail scholar who is as gentle as jade but frail and sickly.

"The images of the two characters are so different that the audience will naturally not get involved in the drama."

Li Xiaoli nodded in agreement: "It is indeed possible."

The two of them were watching the second episode of "Spring Night in the Lotus Tent" while discussing "Nirvana in Fire", the painting style was very strange.

Before I knew it, it was half past eleven.

The second episode of "A Warm Spring Night in the Furong Tent" has also been aired, but Li Xiaoli felt lonely watching it.

It seems that I have seen it, but it seems that I have not seen it.

"Is it over now? What is this episode about?" Li Xiaoli realized it later and was a little confused.

"We discussed an episode of "Nirvana in Fire", but I didn't watch it anyway. I'm not going to watch it anymore. I'm going to go to bed and go back to Taiwan to work overtime tomorrow. If you want to watch it, you can go back and watch it yourself." Liu Xiangnan stood up, stretched his tired shoulders, and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Li Xiaoli stared at the TV and thought for a while, unable to arouse interest in watching the second episode of "A Warm Spring Night in the Furong Tent" again.

Just now "Warm Spring Evening in the Lotus Tent" was playing on the TV, and both of them could keep up with "Nirvana in Fire", but now that it was so late, they were even less interested in catching up.

She pressed the shutdown button, cleared the coffee table, packed the trash, and went to wash up.

…

There are many viewers like Liu Xiangnan and Li Xiaoli across the country.

Most viewers, when watching the two dramas, will feel at first glance that the scenes in "A Warm Spring Night in the Hibiscus Tent" are very delicate and beautiful.

"Warm Spring Night in the Furong Tent" follows the aesthetic route. The clothes are mainly gorgeous, including the architectural style, and the filters are all designed to serve the gorgeous picture.

In this regard, "A Warm Spring Night in the Lotus Tent" is successful, because the audience does feel that the scenes of this drama are very beautiful at first glance, just like an oil painting.

Looking at "Nirvana in Fire", the colors of "Fu Hua Dao" are far less gorgeous than "Warm Spring Evening in the Lotus Tent", and the colors are even a bit plain.

If the male protagonist in "A Warm Spring Night in the Lotus Tent" wears brocade and gorgeous clothes, then the male protagonist in "Nirvana in Fire" wears a simple gown.

However, the gorgeous style of "Spring Night in the Hibiscus Tent" is very stunning at first sight, but after watching one episode, I started to feel aesthetic fatigue.

"Nirvana in Fire" is just the opposite. The painting style is soft and there are no eye-catching colors. It also makes the picture more realistic and makes you feel more comfortable the more you look at it.

In addition, starting from the second episode of "Nirvana in Fire", the actors have been acting like crazy, and their performances are as detailed as every micro-expression.

So much so that on the first day, viewers started to rewatch the first two episodes.

…

The next day is January 3rd, the third day of the New Year's Day holiday.

Although it is a holiday, several satellite TV stations have new dramas on the air, so someone at the TV station must have to work overtime.

Cao Sanchun, director of the editorial office of Jiangnan Satellite TV, only took two days off before returning to work at the TV station.

Cao Sanchun and Chen Wenhan discussed the drama "A Warm Spring Night in the Furong Tent", and then suggested that the leaders in the station buy the drama and put it on the New Year's Day schedule.

Of course, Cao Sanchun suggested buying "A Warm Spring Night in the Furong Tent" not because he thought this drama could beat "Nirvana in Fire", but because it was cost-effective.

In order to negotiate with the TV station, Chen Wenhan's price has been reduced to 1 million per episode.

This price is already very low for a TV series with an investment of 150 million.

Moreover, it is still a two-channel broadcast, which means that Jiangnan Satellite TV only spent 500,000 per episode to buy the premiere of "Warm Spring Night in the Furong Tent".

At this price, if the ratings can explode, it will be an unexpected surprise.

Although the industry is generally more optimistic about "Nirvana in Fire", "Warm Spring Night in the Furong Tent" is a popular theme after all, and there is still the possibility of becoming a small hit.

One characteristic of the ancient puppet genre is that there are no requirements for acting skills, as long as the appearance of the lead actor meets the fans' aesthetics.

This type of drama, even if the plot is a little bit cheesy and the acting is a little awkward, but as long as it meets the taste of fans, it still has the potential to become a hit.

The picture of "Warm Spring Night in the Hibiscus Tent" is very exquisite, and it is definitely a beauty at first sight.

When Cao Sanchun returned to the TV station, there were very few people in the station.

After all, it was still the New Year's Day holiday, so the filming and interviewing work on the station had stopped. Only the employees responsible for daily maintenance were working overtime.

Cao Sanchun walked towards the office. When he passed a workstation, he tapped the folder on the table with his fingers and said, "Bring in the data on the new drama's launch last night."

"Okay, Director Cao."

The employee at the workstation turned out to be Liu Xiangnan.

When Liu Xiangnan returned to the station in the morning, he printed out all the broadcast data, but he didn't have time to look at it carefully.

He cleared the desktop, took three folders, and followed Cao Sanchun into the director's office.

Cao Sanchun put his briefcase on his desk, sat down and asked, "Sit down first. The new drama started last night. Did you watch it?"

Liu Xiangnan nodded and replied, "I took a look."

However, he did not watch it on Jiangnan TV, but on the TV version of Xiangtao Video APP.

Because his wife is an employee of Xiangtao Video, she uses the free annual meeting of Xiangtao Video.

Cao Sanchun smiled and asked: "What about "Nirvana in Fire"?"

"Forehead……"

Liu Xiangnan hesitated for a moment and replied, "I saw it too."

He didn't say clearly that what he mainly watched was "Nirvana in Fire", but "A Warm Spring Night in the Furong Tent" that he didn't watch.

After all, "Spring Night in the Lotus Tent" was broadcast by the TV station where he worked, so he couldn't say that the show was not good in front of the director.

"How do you feel?" Cao Sanchun asked again.

"Not bad, the picture is exquisite and beautiful." Liu Xiangnan carefully looked for something to praise, and finally found that he could only praise it this way.

He didn't remember the key plot points very well, and some of the plots were pretty bloody.

For example, in the first episode, the male lead played by Chen Wenhan accidentally collided with the female lead, and then fell down. The female lead fell on Chen Wenhan's chest, and their mouths hit each other accurately.

Liu Xiangnan frowned while watching it, but Li Xiaoli watched it with gusto and found the plot very exciting.

Similar scenes often appeared in idol dramas I watched before.

Anyway, when the male and female protagonists fall down, their mouths are like guided by radar, and they must kiss each other.

In the past, Liu Xiangnan often complained about this kind of plot, and then was criticized by Li Xiaoli for not being romantic.

Cao Sanchun didn't come here to listen to employees' evaluation of the new drama. He reached out to take the data report and asked casually: "How were the ratings last night? Are they okay?"

"Um... I haven't had time to watch it yet. It seems that the average ratings have not changed much." Liu Xiangnan only looked at the average ratings last night, which was not much different from the previous ratings.

Cao Sanchun looked through the data report, first looking at the ratings of the first episode of "Warm Spring Night in the Furong Tent":

"1.36%, not bad."

For a TV series that only cost 500,000 yuan per episode and had a ratings of 1.36% at the beginning, what else do you need?

However, when Cao Sanchun continued to look down, his expression began to change.

Because the ratings for each time period in the report dropped from 1.36% to 1.08%.

The ratings from 8pm to 9pm last night were okay and the decline was not much, but after 9pm, the ratings began to plummet.

In one night, the ratings dropped by nearly 30%, which is a very scary number.

When this happens, someone needs to be found to take the blame.

"What's going on? Why did the ratings drop so much after 9 o'clock?" Cao Sanchun felt that something was not going well.

Because the time of 9 pm is exactly the time when the second episode of "Warm Spring Night in the Lotus Tent" airs.

Especially during several commercial breaks, the ratings plummeted.

Generally speaking, it is normal for the ratings of TV stations to drop during commercial breaks, but usually they only drop for a minute or two. When the commercials end, the ratings will rise again.

However, last night, the ratings that dropped during the commercial broadcast never came back up.

The more Cao Sanchun looked at the ratings data, his expression became serious.

The decline is close to 30%, which is comparable to a broadcast accident.

Cao Sanchun quickly picked up the landline phone on the table, gave it to the department responsible for the ratings data, and asked: "Has the statistics of last night's ratings data been completed? Is there anything missing?"

His first reaction was that there was something wrong with the statistics.

The statistics of ratings are very complicated, and it is common for some data to be omitted when aggregating the data.

So Cao Sanchun immediately checked whether there were any errors in the data.

Soon, he received the answer that there was no problem with the data.

"What's the situation? The ratings at the start of the broadcast are still good, but why has the decline been so big?" Cao Sanchun couldn't figure out the reason.

He advocated the purchase of "Spring Night in the Furong Tent". If the ratings were too low, he would have to review it at a work meeting.

Liu Xiangnan picked up the data form and looked at it carefully. After thinking for a moment, he raised his hand and said, "Director, I thought of a reason..."

Cao Sanchun was in a bit of a hurry now and urged: "Just say whatever comes to mind!"

Liu Xiangnan pointed to the data on the table that dropped sharply every time, and said: "Every time there is a big drop, it is when commercials are broadcast. This is a normal drop. The problem is that after the commercials are over, the ratings do not increase back.

“I think maybe the viewers who changed channels didn’t change back.

"Is it possible that viewers changed channels to see other programs and then forgot to change back?"

His idea was not just a guess, but his personal experience watching TV with Li Xiaoli last night.
