Who are you calling powerful?

"Story of Yanxi Palace" was broadcasted first.

At that time, "Ashes of Love" had not yet ended, and only the finale was left.

The first broadcast at this time was risky, and it might be a dud.

This was also part of the reason why the dead girl was clamoring for hype. He wanted to gain popularity for "Story of Yanxi Palace".

Facts have proved that the dead girl won the bet. Of course, there was also the help of Blue Whale and PPTV, but no matter what, "Story of Yanxi Palace" did make a good start with the huge popularity of "Ashes of Love".

Rating 0.8!

Online broadcast data exceeded 100 million!

Hualuo.com's popularity was 8500+, ranking second in the same period.

The online film and television search index ranked in the top three, second only to "Ashes of Love" and "Sewing Machine Band". There were four hot searches on the day, and seven including the dead girl.

This momentum is not particularly outstanding, but with the premise of being released at the same time as "Ashes of Love", it is very impressive.

Afterwards, due to the strength of "Ashes of Love", the finale and the two days after the end of "Story of Yanxi Palace" were firmly suppressed, and the overall data rose steadily.

Until August 12, "Story of Yanxi Palace", which had been broadcast for several days and had accumulated enough audiences and influence, finally began to gain momentum.

The ratings ranked first in the same period!

The online broadcast data topped the list for the first time!

The popularity of Hualuo.com exceeded 10,000, and the gap with "Ashes of Love" continued to narrow.

The online search index ranked first, with eleven related hot searches on the same day, surpassing the completed "Ashes of Love" and the popular "Sewing Machine Band" and "Love Apartment", and the hype premiere of "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace".

What's more worth mentioning is that "Story of Yanxi Palace" Douban opened with a score of 7.5.

Although the score is not particularly high, and it is not even the first in this summer season, don't forget that this is the dead girl's drama.

Who is Si Yatou? He is the king of bad movies. You can count the number of dramas he wrote and produced with a score of more than 7 on one hand.

Then again, the dramas that Si Yatou can get with a score of more than 7 are almost all popular dramas with very good performance.

Again, you can say that Si Yatou is bad, but you can't say that he is bad.

This person can be called a nervous knife. The quality of his works is high and low. He is great in one scene and terrible in another.

When he is a terrible person, his lower limit is terrible. The bad dramas he shoots make people's blood pressure explode and they have a lot of complaints.

But when he is great, his upper limit is also terrible. If he performs well, he is definitely the first-class level in the industry, and some of his advantages are even the top in the industry.

There is no doubt that "Story of Yanxi Palace" is Si Yatou's great work.

Even though countless people have criticized Si Yatou for plagiarizing, "Story of Yanxi Palace" has a strong sense of déjà vu of "Story of the Ming Palace". Some of the settings and plots of Wei Yingluo and Empress Fucha are simply copies of Li Caifeng played by Zhao Liying and Empress Chen played by Zhao Ji in the Qing Palace.

But since Blue Whale has no objection, it is useless for others to say anything. Anyway, this is already a trivial controversy for Dead Girl.

Blue Whale actually has an opinion, but it was suppressed by Wei Yang.

Why are "Story of Yanxi Palace" and "Story of Ming Palace" similar? Others think that Dead Girl plagiarized, but he knows the answer.

At the beginning, he borrowed many settings and plots of "Story of Ming Palace" from "Story of Yanxi Palace", so it is not that Dead Girl plagiarized him, but he plagiarized Dead Girl.

But this matter cannot be explained clearly, and Wei Yang did not intend to clarify for Dead Girl, but there is no need to turn the tables.

Plagiarizing others and accusing them of plagiarism is a bit too much. Boss Wei is not so crazy as to do that.

The best way is to turn a blind eye, but he is worried about not taking action. Others will follow suit in the future. It is not good to copy Blue Whale every time. Wei Yang was wrong to Dead Girl in "Story of Yanxi Palace", but he may not be wrong to others.

"Story of Yanxi Palace" is now broadcast on PPTV, and this reason also contributed to it.

It is difficult to punish, but there is no way to ignore it, so it becomes "one of our own".

A symbolic collection of copyright fees, a big deal, a small matter, and a vague treatment, but at least there is a statement, and other people who want to imitate Blue Whale in the future will also have a legitimate reason.

It is not plagiarism, but the purchase of copyright adaptation!

Although both the dead girl and Blue Whale have contracts as evidence, under the strong request of the dead girl, they chose to remain silent temporarily.

This guy is really willing to go all out. For a little popularity, he would rather be scolded as a literary thief.

It is estimated that the dead girl is used to it. Anyway, he is used to plagiarism. If he could not afford to offend Wei Yang and was afraid of being targeted, he would really dare to plagiarize Blue Whale's hit drama.

Putting aside the controversy of "plagiarism", the evaluation of "Story of Yanxi Palace" is still not low.

The most widely praised is the exquisite costumes and props, and the beautiful filters.

Si Yatou has filmed many dramas, but there are not many dramas where his costumes and makeup have been praised. On the contrary, the Abao color filter, which has been criticized to the sky, was created and promoted by him.

The Abao color filter, with full saturation, bright costumes, and exposure, can indeed bring a strong beauty effect to actors and some props, but sometimes it will come with a sense of cheapness, as well as some falsehood and distortion, coupled with serious homogeneity, which later led to the audience's hatred.

In contrast, Blue Whale is also good at adjusting filters, but it is not fixed, but is matched according to the needs of each project. The lighter ones are brighter and clearer, and the more serious ones are darker, which appears more textured.

The filters in dramas such as "Joy of Life", "Nirvana in Fire", "Ode to Joy", and "Strategy of the Ming Palace" have received wide acclaim, and they are also the biggest enemy and final terminator of the Abao color faction.

In fact, long before, Si Yatou had stopped fighting against Abao color.

"Story of Yanxi Palace" has combined the Morandi color filter that shined in "Strategy of the Ming Palace" and made some light or dark fine-tuning, with good results, which can be regarded as a highlight of the drama.

In addition to the filter costumes and props, Si Yatou has invested a lot of money and energy.

A lot of old craftsmanship, even handmade, are used to restore some costumes of the Qing Palace. At the same time, some improvements have been made to be more in line with modern aesthetics.

Even Zhao Liying has to admit that the cost and effort of "Story of Yanxi Palace" in costumes and props, especially in costumes and makeup, is more than that of "Strategy of the Ming Palace". Si Yatou is determined to win a reputation with this drama.

The hardware is beyond doubt, the costumes and props are first-class, and the actors are also impressive.

The male lead Nie Yuan, the second female lead Qin Lan, as well as Charmaine Sheh and Tan Zhuo who participated in "Dying to Survive" are all powerful actors. The female lead Wu Jinyan is the weakest link, but her performance in "Story of Yanxi Palace" is also okay.

In comparison, "Story of Yanxi Palace" is inferior to "Story of Ming Palace" in terms of software.

The old problem of the dead girl, likes to spread dog blood, has many plot loopholes, and is too stubborn in love.

The heroine must have a love triangle of Fu Heng + Qianlong, and the good sisters are jealous and become enemies. Fortunately, it is just enough and the degree is well grasped.

The heroine of "Story of Ming Palace" has very few love lines. In the early stage, she helps her good sisters, in the middle stage, she and her mother and son survive, and help her husband win the throne. In the later stage, she directly evolves into a politician and cares more about her son and the country.

It can be said that "Story of Ming Palace" tells how a little palace maid becomes a generation of virtuous queen, involving many plots of the previous dynasty, and is relatively more structured.

But "Story of Yanxi Palace" also has a selling point, there are love elements, but it is not entangled, and combined with modern people's thoughts and feminist trends, it has a core theme of "love yourself".

One of the two dramas is a career-oriented female protagonist, and the other is a self-oriented female protagonist.

Overall, "Story of Ming Palace" is slightly better in overall quality because Wei Yang combined the advantages of "Story of Yanxi Palace" to modify the script, coupled with the cast and the excellent production capabilities of Blue Whale.

But "Story of Yanxi Palace" also has its own advantages and selling points, and it depends on the audience's choice.

At present, the momentum of "Story of Yanxi Palace" is not as good as that of "Story of Ming Palace", but the momentum is not weak.

Now it's the turn of Penguin Video to jump up and down!

To be honest, Penguin is much better than ordinary melon-eating people. It got the information before PPTV officially announced the release date of "Story of Yanxi Palace".

The same Qing Palace theme, and both are in the Qianlong period, it is clear that they are competing.

They are not unfamiliar with "Story of Yanxi Palace". When the project was launched, many people complained that the dead girl was riding on the popularity of "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace".

Just like when Tangren was going to shoot "Startling by Each Step", the heroine was in love with the fourth brother, and the eighth brother was the villain, but the dead girl got ahead and made "Palace Lock Heart Jade", the heroine was in love with the eighth brother, and the fourth brother was the villain.

The scenes of "Story of Yanxi Palace" and "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" are so similar to those of the past.

In "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace", after Nara was the heroine, Concubine Ling was the biggest villain. In "Story of Yanxi Palace", the heroine is Concubine Ling, and Nara is the big boss.

So there is a reason why the dead girl is annoying. She is just a toad jumping on the foot, which is disgusting.

The crew of "Story of Yanxi Palace" and "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" must be unhappy, but to be honest, they don't take it too seriously.

The crew of "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" is very crazy!

Perhaps it was the courage given to them by "The Legend of Zhen Huan". They have been selecting people from the entertainment industry since the project was launched. It is said that they have eliminated many popular actresses and young actresses, including some top-tier stars. After they brought in Zhou Gongzi, they were even more inflated.

Just look at their behind-the-scenes documentary and you will know that they are boasting about themselves in various ways. They are benchmarking classics before the show is aired, and even claiming to be [art].

And we have to admit that many plots of "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" are still very bluffing if you don't study them carefully. If it weren't for the crazy exposure of many netizens later, "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" would still be a well-received work and a pearl in the ocean.

These confidences have also driven Penguin to a certain extent, and regarded it as the biggest trump card.

As for the choice of Penguin Video to compete with PPTV in the summer war this time, half of the courage comes from this drama. Now that they have lost all three battles and the general trend is declining, they still hope that this drama will turn around and save some of the situation, which shows their confidence in it.

In their view, "Story of Yanxi Palace" is just a fast-food bad drama that is riding on the popularity.

The dead girl has some ability, but there are no good works in the past two years. There are many bad dramas, and the audience's popularity has dropped sharply. There is nothing to worry about.

Until "Story of Yanxi Palace" was first broadcast and successfully opened the situation, showing good quality, and accumulated enough popularity and influence, with great momentum.

Now "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" and Penguin are a little restless.

Although they still think that "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" is stronger, "Story of Yanxi Palace" is definitely not a water-imported product, and it has a first-mover advantage.

In the competition of the same theme at the same time, the other party has the first move, which is very fatal. A first impression tells everything.

The audience accepted the Concubine Ling in "Story of Yanxi Palace", then it will be difficult for the Concubine Ling in "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" to pull the audience back and reflect the character characteristics and selling points of the play, and even be firmly suppressed, which will affect the viewing experience of the whole play.

Penguin and the others had a good plan. "Story of Yanxi Palace" was aired first, and then the filming was terrible. They just went out to gain the audience's favor and stepped on it.

But now it seems that it is difficult to say whether the late strike strategy will be successful or not. Instead, the other party will strike first.

The newly appointed Mr. Penguin Sun was finally relieved. Since PPTV officially announced that "Story of Yanxi Palace" and "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" will be released at the same time, he had a bad premonition.

The dead girl's ability is indeed not worthy of trust. Wei Yang and PPTV's eyesight is not ordinary.

The other party dared to let "Story of Yanxi Palace" and "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" compete in the arena, how could it be a parallel import.

But even if you could see it, it was useless. Penguin was already trying to catch the duck and couldn't get it off the shelf.

The fight with "Story of Yanxi Palace" is inevitable. After the schedule is pressed, I can take a gamble and take advantage of the situation later. The pressure is even greater to compete with the finale of "Sweet Honey as Ashes as Frost" in advance.

Looking back with hindsight now, Penguin and "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" were the wrong choices, but there weren't many choices at the time.

Regrets were of no use, and withdrawing would be a loss of face, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet.

Although "Story of Yanxi Palace" has the upper hand, they still believe that "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" is of better quality. The results may not meet original expectations, but the victory in this game still belongs to Penguin.

In mid-August, the much-anticipated "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" premiered and attracted nearly 20 hot searches on Weibo that day.

Putting aside some of the crew's marketing, what is a little shocking is that most of the hot searches are complaints about "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace".

"Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" has just premiered, and the famous scenes such as "Da Ru", "Shaking Mushrooms", "Are You Beautiful?", "I Can't Defend You" have not yet begun, but the heroine's saucy trick of farting to avoid the draft has impressed all the viewers. The audience's eyes were opened.

But the biggest controversial point in "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" at the beginning was not the plot or the lines.

But Mr. Zhou's face and appearance are old and ugly, which is too inconsistent with the so-called "green girl" in the play.

It’s true that Wu Jinyan, the heroine of “Strategy of Yanxi Palace” is not very good-looking. Many people even thought that the dead girl deliberately found a dull-faced young master to flirt with Mr. Zhou. As a result, when Mr. Zhou appeared on the scene, some viewers fell in love with Wu Jinyan. .

Sun Niangniang from "The Legend of Zhen Huan", as well as Liu Shishi and Damimi, who had filmed Qing palace dramas, were even held up to the altar.

Mr. Zhou has always been known for her good rapport with people on the street. Among the many big and small flowers in the entertainment industry, she is also considered to be one of the actresses with the best impression on the public.

Such people are born to be the darlings of the audience, and they are the most envied type among their peers.

But reality tells everyone that no actor will receive the audience's love without bottom line tolerance. Even Mr. Zhou will still be scolded if he becomes ugly or does not perform well.

No one expected that "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace", which had great expectations, would be scolded upon its premiere. Even Mr. Zhou, who had been in the entertainment industry for many years, also fell out of favor.

The last time Master Zhou was scolded so miserably, it was the duck-voiced Huang Rong in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in 2003.

Even Huang Rong in Zhou Gongzi was criticized most for her appearance of age and her voice, but her aura and performance were recognized by some audiences. So far, "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" has been criticized almost exclusively.

The penguins were all stunned!

Mr. Sun locked himself in the office for more than an hour. The first document he opened was a transfer application to return to his original position, and a request for annual leave to go to Mount Putuo to burn incense to bring good luck...
