Chapter Ninety-One: Hitting the Streets? (First Update!)
Saturday, July 29th. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
At 9 o'clock in the evening, when the broadcast of "Bao Qingtian" ended today, most of the audience left the TV channel on Jiayi TV.
For today's hyped "Wulin Gaiden", many people are of great interest.
Just because it was created by the screenwriter of "Bao Qingtian", and there was a cameo by Lord Bao in the first episode, it is enough for these loyal fans to watch it.
With the theme song "Long Time No See", which has some rap nature, the first episode began to air.
As expected, the first arrester tried his best to escape in order to avoid alcohol debts, which made the audience laugh.
With the appearance of the true faces of the male and female in the back, and their "chivalrous deeds" being crusaded, this misunderstanding directly made many viewers laugh and hurt their stomachs.
Jiashi has some channels of its own, although it is not such an authoritative standard, but you can know some situations in advance.
Through their investigation, they found that many families have a very good evaluation of "Wulin Gaiden".
By Sunday morning, Nielsen had sent the data over, and the ratings of the first episode reached 43%, beating "Happy Tonight" and Li's programs at the same time, which made Liang Shuyi smile.
If it has been such a result, then 5 million is really not a loss at all!
For this reason, Liang Shuyi also specially went to condolences to the crew of "Wulin Gaiden" and encouraged them to shoot well, and Jiashi will not forget the heroes.
But when the Nielsen data came on Monday morning, everyone couldn't believe it.
The ratings of "Wulin Gaiden" plummeted to 22% all of a sudden, and it was directly cut in half!
What's going on?
Liang Shuyi, in front of a group of supervisors, personally called Nielsen and confirmed that there was no error in the data, and there was silence in the conference room.
hung up the phone, Liang Shuyi was a hot pain on her face!
5 million!
It cost a full 5 million!
Is this the result?
Jun, you've disappointed me!
"I knew!" Ling Xuhua said as an afterthought, "The first episode has enough gimmicks and a cameo appearance from Lord Bao Qingtianbao, who is popular all over Asia, so the ratings are very high." But many people watch the first episode and look back on it and think it's average, so they won't chase it the next day!
"Not necessarily. Liu Tianci shook his head and said, "I have watched "Wulin Gaiden" several times in the past two days, and I will not get tired of watching it every time, but I think it is quite interesting." I think maybe it's because of the style, everyone is still a little uncomfortable? After two more days, everyone feels the charm of it, and the ratings will increase. β
Liu Tianci, who participated in the negotiations, was still a little dissatisfied with Yin Jun's sky-high price of 8 million.
Although you are short of money, you should also take into account our business pressure, right?
But immediately listened to Liang Shuyi, Yin Jun came over in person, lowered the price to 5 million, and was also responsible for the production of all TV episodes, which suddenly made Liu Tianci restore his appreciation for Yin Jun, thinking that Junzi really didn't make me mistaken, and he could give up his 5 million interests in one go, how can ordinary people do it?
Relying on this, the situation of "Wulin Gaiden" is not good for the time being, and Liu Tianci also has to protect Yin Jun.
"Like this, we have seen a lot of TV series with high ratings in the first episode and a sharp dive in the second episode. Ye Yunxin said slowly: "Ciguan, to be honest, with my experience, I think this time it may be a bit hanging...... If we put our hopes on 20% ratings, we won't be disappointed. But if you put it at 40%, I'm afraid it will be a big disappointment. β
Shi Shaoming tapped on the table, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much, 20% of the production cost of 5 million 120 episodes is already barely passing, if the reputation comes up later, maybe there will be a little more." Besides, before Junzi didn't make "Bao Qingtian", we spent 50,000 episodes to produce a TV series, and there were fewer people hitting the streets?
"You can't say that. Ling Xuhua said: "This is Yin Jun! The creator of "Bao Qingtian"! He is now like this, doesn't it mean that one of our Jiashi's signboards has fallen?"
"It's too early to say that. Liu Tianci frowned, "The ratings of "Bao Qingtian" yesterday were 72%, is this called the signboard falling?
Ling Xuhua said, "It doesn't matter if he goes up and down, the key is that our side is annoyed...... Miss Liang, I'm suggesting, since the ratings of "Wulin Gaiden" do not meet expectations, can we discuss with Yin Jun to modify the contract?"
"What do you mean......" Liang Shuyi asked.
"5 million is too much, let's halve it!" Ling Xuhua said, "Actually, we all know that 5,000 yuan can make an episode, and 120 episodes is 600,000, and we give him close to 2 million to earn, which is already very kind, and he should thank us." β
"That's not right for you to say that. Liu Tianci didn't want to think about it and said: ""Bao Qingtian" is so popular, Junzi came to you to ask for an extra penny of dividends? In the first 108 episodes, the average price is less than 2000 per episode, did he take the opportunity to ask for a price increase? At that time, don't say 2000, 5000 an episode, you have to grit your teeth to give it, right?"
"But now, he's got more than 5,000 in an episode. Ling Xuhua retorted, "We will talk about things, one yard is one yard." If we only miss the old love, then how can the TV station continue? If there is a good TV series, should we lie on the credit book and eat it for the rest of our lives?"
"Alright, don't say it!"
Liang Shuyi stopped Liu Tianci, who wanted to refute, "Needless to say, the price reduction is a thing, Jiashi can't do this." Ah Jun gives us face, and we have to give him face. And it's only the second episode now, so we can wait and watch...... It's Monday, so let's play it at 6 o'clock first and see how it works. β
The 6 o'clock file actually refers to the one-hour broadcast schedule from 17:30 to 18:30, and then the news program.
Although "Wulin Gaiden" is no longer favored, it is still possible to give it a try at 6 o'clock.
When she said this, Liang Shuyi also sighed in her heart, could it be that Yin Jun really failed this time?
β¦β¦
The plummeting ratings of the second episode of "Wulin Gaiden" soon spread throughout Xiangjiang with the help of wireless and Li.
When there are reporters, they go to interview people on the streets.
It turned out that more than 80% of the aunts were not very interested in "Wulin Gaiden", and felt that those jokes were very low-level, and they couldn't catch the laughter at all, which was very awkward.
With this as the foundation, Wireless took the lead in singing "Wulin Gaiden" on its own TV station, and ridiculed Jiashi for spending sky-high prices, and as a result, he bought a garbage back.
Li's did not show weakness, and invited a large number of film critics to comment on this TV series, but almost none of them gave praise.
There is only one Huang Zhan who poured cold water before, but this time he cautiously praised "Wulin Gaiden", feeling that it is very thoughtful, different from the current Xiangjiang TV series, and different from ordinary martial arts dramas.
It's just that Huang Zhan still thinks that Yin Jun's innovation is too abrupt, and it would be better if it was gradual.
Now......
It's good to be able to maintain a 20% rating.
Things are going on as everyone imagined.
The ratings for the 6 o'clock slot on Monday were 21%, and the rating for the 6 o'clock slot on Tuesday was 18%.
After four episodes were broadcast, "Wulin Gaiden" not only did not stop the decline, but became more and more sluggish.
In stark contrast, it is "Detective Li Qi" by wireless gold medal producer Wang Tianlin, which is also placed in the 6 o'clock file, and the ratings have risen step by step, and it has exceeded 45%, as if it has become the overlord of the same schedule again.
For a while, there were more and more people who opposed singing and declining, and even the crew had little confidence.
You must know that "Bao Qingtian" is only the third episode, which has attracted the attention of many people, and then it was transferred to the 7 o'clock and 8 o'clock files, and it has grown by leaps and bounds, becoming the No. 1 TV series in Xiangjiang until it finally became popular all over Southeast Asia.
But the fourth episode of "Wulin Gaiden" has been broadcast, but there is still no praise, and everyone's comments are still very "vulgar", "naΓ―ve", and "self-entertaining"...... In this way, there is no hope of success!
starred in a TV series with no future, do you want everyone to be able to cheer up?
If you can't get up, how can you shoot high-quality dramas?
At this time, Yin Jun quietly came to the scene, and when he saw everyone who was weak during filming, he also had the feeling of "morale is gone" in his heart.
Since selling "Wulin Gaiden", he handed over the task of directing the camera to Zhong Zhiwen, Chen Xunqi and Zeng Zhiwei, who will shoot together.
Because they all have strength, but they are not famous, they can execute the script given by Yin Jun very well, and after filming for a few days before, Yin Jun thought it was very good, so it was all handed over to them.
For the three elites who will be in the director industry in the future, there is no problem at all in filming a "Wulin Gaiden".
But morale is not good, and they don't think of many solutions.
For example, now, during the interval between filming, Le Yiling is scolding a trick actor: "Asked you to pretend to be a drinker, do you really think you are a drinker? Eat and drink, do you want to steal the show? Haven't you eaten?"
The actor is a man in his thirties, he was scolded a little unbearable, and said directly: "The script is to tell us to eat, why can't we eat? Put chopsticks in your mouth and move it, is this very fake, okay? I am still wrong when I am serious about filming? You don't look at what crew you are! A broken crew, and so domineering, Lao Tzu will stop acting!"
"You tell me clearly, what is the broken crew?" Le Yiling was angry, "Do we have less of your labor? Do we have less of your red envelopes? The three meals are all covered by our crew, and what you eat and drink is ours, do you still have a conscience?"
"Conscience is a fart, God knows when you will be cut off, I don't want to be mixed in such a crew!"
The actors on the side looked at each other with different expressions.
Le Yiling still maintained a fierce attitude, glanced at everyone, and said, "You people, if you want to go, go away! Don't regret it in the future!!"
With that, she angrily came to the lounge where Yin Jun was.
"Bang!"
When the door was slammed shut, Le Yiling, who had his eyes closed, leaned against the door a little weakly.
The fierce and vicious Le Yiling just now was just holding on, and her psychological pressure was also very great! )
