Chapter 366 Xu Kong will be the ruler of the future film and television industry

For Qi Ziheng, this short period of less than half an hour was like a roller coaster ride.

It can be said that everything was completely unexpected.

Originally the data from the first broadcast was pretty good. He thought that at least the company had treated him unfairly in terms of publicity and promotion, so he cried and complained, hoping that the next drama would get a little more investment.

Who knew that before he had the chance to speak to Lu Hanwen, he soon learned that his new drama was facing the situation of being taken off the shelves for rectification.

It’s a bit too dramatic.

“how could be?”

“The previous review should have passed normally…”

Lu Hanwen was also quite helpless.

Although this drama has been strategically abandoned by their company.

The only requirement is to recover the cost.

But the platform was upset when it was suddenly taken off the shelves for rectification, and their company also needed to make changes quickly.

Tomato TV has already started to exert pressure.

……

“Maybe he was reported.”

“It can’t be helped. Tomato TV is one of the three major local TV stations after all. It has a large number of viewers, and there are quite a few elderly people and relatively young children.”

“It is said that a parent reported that his son was frightened after watching the drama.”

Lu Hanwen still patiently explained.

“No, what kind of nice person would let a child watch a suspense drama?”

Qi Ziheng was speechless.

But he also knew that the review system had indeed been relaxed in recent years.

Not only are the censorship standards for online dramas very strict, but even the standards for being broadcast on satellite TV are changing.

But since people reported it directly, the authorities could only temporarily remove the product from the shelves for rectification.

And at least he was not sentenced to death, so the show can still continue to be broadcast after the incident.

However, such a problem occurred just after the first broadcast, which is a fatal blow to the data and performance of the drama.

Qi Ziheng really felt like he was getting stuck in his teeth even when drinking cold water.

If my drama was broadcast well and promoted normally, it would probably get a pretty good result.

But because the company’s previous film “The Powerful World” was such a huge failure, the entire company’s top management lost confidence, and he became the so-called victim.

That’s fine. Although there was no publicity, the data performance of the first broadcast was still good. Especially with Xu Kong’s new drama which is so popular, it can be said that some other directors’ works do not have such confidence to achieve this level.

But who knew that in the end, it would still be taken off the shelves.

As he walked through this step by step, Qi Ziheng just felt that it was too difficult for him.

Maybe if I had continued to stay in Fengge, there wouldn’t be so many things happening in the new drama.

Now it seems that almost none of the promises Zhu Changyun made to him have been fulfilled.

……

Lu Hanwen also obviously noticed Qi Ziheng’s emotional changes.

With no other options, he quickly opened his mouth and said:
“Don’t worry, Director Qi. After the revisions are completed, the company has decided to approve another million for publicity and promotion expenses.”

Qi Ziheng is not a fool.

By the time the rectification is completed and the show is rebroadcasted, it will be too late to start promoting it.

Moreover, the popularity of Xu Kong’s drama is so exaggerated now, will it really be useful for them to promote it again?
Do you really think he is a newbie who knows nothing?

But of course it is impossible to express dissatisfaction directly at this time.

After all, no matter what was discussed before, he had definitely boarded the Changyun Film and Television pirate ship.

Even if you are dissatisfied, you have no choice but to endure it.

Otherwise, once the contract is stuck and the company refuses to invest at all, he probably won’t have the chance to be a director again for many years.

……

“Then I’ll go and make corrections.”

“Try to finish it within two days.”

Qi Ziheng answered.

The bloody scenes are easy to handle.

Either delete it directly, or blur out some of the bloody parts.

But as a director, he knows everything.

My own drama originally relied on blood and curiosity as gimmicks.

It is still unknown how many viewers will remain after the rectification is completed.

……

“Impossible, let Changyun Film and Television handle this matter themselves. It has nothing to do with us!”

At this time, Qin Xian spoke with a serious expression.

There’s no way, all of this is a chain reaction.

The scale of the drama “Stupid Policeman Qin Yi” was so excessive that it eventually had to be suspended on Tomato TV for rectification.

But on the online platform side, Kiwi has not received any relevant notification and can still broadcast the program normally.

The most important thing is that they also stopped broadcasting for a few days to rectify the situation, which is already the biggest concession made by Kiwi.

What’s excessive is that Tomato TV is no longer willing to do this because their version is a deleted and revised one, and the audience will definitely prefer to go to Kiwi TV to watch the complete version.

So after negotiating with Changyun Film and Television, they actually asked Kiwi to also change it into an abridged version.

This is really outrageous.

……

“This matter is too troublesome. I guess if we want to resolve it, Changyun will just have to pay compensation to settle the matter.”

A senior executive of Kiwi Fruit also spoke helplessly at this time.

The most critical thing about this removal and rectification is that it involves three companies.

I can’t explain it clearly.

Moreover, the drama has already officially finished its investment promotion at Tomato TV. Now you suddenly stop broadcasting for rectification and turn it into an abridged version. Advertisers will definitely not agree to it.

At the very least, Tomato should give some compensation.

Tomato could either let Kiwi also broadcast the corresponding edited version.

Otherwise, we can only ask Changyun Film and Television for compensation.

After all, the sudden request to suspend broadcasting and rectify the situation is ultimately due to problems with the content, and Changyun Film and Television, as the producer, should be held responsible.

……

“It sounds like Changyun Film and Television lost money in the end?”

Xu Kong was also a little confused when he got the news.

The main point is obvious, this time Changyun Film and Television’s drama has almost no chance of competing with “The Bad Kids”.

But Xu Kong didn’t expect that in the end Changyun Film and Television would end up killing itself.

It would be fine if he lost too quickly, and it was also normal to surrender, but this sudden and inexplicable suicide really made him a little overwhelmed.

“Of course. It is said that the negotiations are not going to be successful. Kiwifruit is unwilling to accept the revised version for broadcast.”

“And Tomato will definitely not agree to this.”

“Or we can just file a lawsuit and not air the show. But after all, they are one of the three major local TV stations. Changyun Film and Television will definitely not choose to offend them directly. The only solution is to pay compensation and settle the matter.”

“But I guess neither party will disclose how much copyright fees will be refunded.”

……

Xu Kong discovered that Yan Rui, the manager of the film and television department, looked like an honest man.

In fact, he has some dark attributes. Whenever he hears some bad news about Changyun Film and Television, he is happier than himself.

If you don’t know, you might think that the one who was enemies with Zhu Changyun was not Song Fuquan and Xu Kong, but him.

“Okay, our main task now is to maintain the proper promotion and operation of The Hidden Corner.”

Xu Kong reminded.

In addition to being a director, he is also Fengge’s boss and one of the persons in charge of the show.

There’s nothing wrong with saying that.

Yan Rui also quickly opened his mouth and agreed.

But in his opinion, everything is basically stable now.

The popularity of the first broadcast of “The Bad Kids” is almost a sure hit.

As for publicity and promotion, there is actually no need for it.

Because in addition to various film and television self-media on the Internet spontaneously helping to analyze the plot and promote it, netizens’ enthusiasm for discussion has also remained high.

All they need to do is maintain official accounts and some basic social media operations.

Other problems will naturally be solved by the two major platforms, Penguin Video and Kiwi.

It is impossible for their platform to ignore such a hit drama.

At least judging from everything that happened before, Penguin Video cares about this even more than Xu Kong himself.

Of course, apart from the data, the only thing we wanted to do was to build up the reputation and fame of the mystery theater that was only started later.

……

The score of “The Bad Kids” on Douban has reached 9.0, and the number of people who have rated it is as high as over .

It can be said that this is a phenomenal drama with both explosive word-of-mouth and high data volume.

Changyun Film and Television’s “Stupid Policeman Qin Yi” actually has a score of 7.0. It’s not a well-received work, but the quality is definitely no problem.

Of course, the number of people who have voted has just exceeded 10,000. Comparing the current popularity of the two dramas, they are no longer on the same level or even track.

It can even be said that they cannot be called competitors.

However, the only pity is that the length of “The Bad Kids” is too short. The first episode was only one, and it is only updated on weekends.

This does extend the broadcast cycle.

However, during the gap period in the middle, the popularity will inevitably decline.

……

Of course, Xu Kong thought this was a normal situation.

In fact, the popularity of the first episode surprised even Xu Kong.

In the last life, this drama didn’t become popular as soon as it was first aired.

It relies on subsequent word-of-mouth and word-of-mouth from the audience, as well as the promotion from various film and television self-media.

Because of his high popularity in this life, the drama gained such high popularity as soon as it was aired.

Even far exceeded the peak of the previous life.

Xu Kong was also a little nervous. The truth has always been that everything will decline when it reaches its extreme.

The audience’s enthusiasm is too high and it is impossible to really control it, which can easily lead to public opinion problems.

I am confident about the quality of the drama.

But the heat is too high, which is still a bit worrying.

Therefore, it is a good thing that the subsequent decline in popularity allows the audience to cool down a little.

Yan Rui also told Xu Kong that both Kiwi and Mango were planning to speed up the update speed in order to maintain the popularity of the series.

But Xu Kong refused without hesitation.

Let the heat go down a bit, and everyone can just treat it as a normal drama.

Anyway, the current data has definitely exceeded expectations.

……

At the same time, after the first three episodes of “The Bad Kids” were broadcast, Yiguo, who was anticipated by many netizens, finally updated the relevant videos.

The entire video is nearly an hour long.

It can be said that this is a fairly detailed analysis of the plot of the first three episodes that have been updated so far.

Especially regarding the mission where Zhang Dongsheng and Zhu Chaoyang, one big and one small, are almost the two protagonists.

As well as speculation about the truth behind Zhu Chaoyang’s half-sister’s fall to death, and some metaphorical details in the entire drama.

I can only say that the more I analyze it, the more creepy it becomes.

As for the so-called name of this drama, “The Hidden Corner”, there is now a relatively unified interpretation on the Internet that has almost been recognized by most netizens.

That is the most primitive and darkest part of the human heart.

……

“That’s pretty much the analysis of the plot. I think it should be very detailed.”

“But besides that, I have something else to say.”

“Or maybe it feels like it has to be praised.”

“Including Chen Shuang, the actor who plays Zhang Dongsheng, he really deserves to be the best actor, his performance is really outstanding.”

“In addition, the casting of other supporting roles is also very suitable. They are all veteran actors who should be familiar to the audience. These people are real actors who focus on acting, and their professional abilities are indeed worthy of praise.”

“In the end, the most praiseworthy ones are of course the three young actors. It is really quite surprising. Many people on the Internet have said before that the acting skills of these three young actors can even beat some young actors in the domestic entertainment industry. I also agree with this.”

……

After praising the entire cast of the show, as expected, Yiguo still devoted the most attention to Xu Kong, the screenwriter and director.

“I don’t need to say much to praise him. Xu Kong’s talent has long been recognized by everyone.”

“But what I want to say is that I saw many people arguing to compare Xu Kong with some so-called famous domestic directors.”

“This, in my opinion, is completely unnecessary.”

“We cannot deny that those domestic directors have produced many classic works, and their achievements and status are beyond words.”

“But the point I want to make is that if there is only one name in the domestic film and television industry in the next ten or even twenty years, it will only be Xu Kong.”

……

The number of Yiguo’s fans on the entire Internet has exceeded 60 to 70 million.

The influence is already huge.

What’s more, this time she mainly talked about Xu Kong, who is currently regarded as the traffic password.

It can be said that there were almost no surprises. The video became completely popular on the day it was released.

It has successfully ranked first in hot searches on almost every social media platform.

The most discussed topic is naturally Igo’s somewhat outrageous prediction.

Xu Kong will be the ruler of the film and television industry in the future.

Although this is not the original words, almost anyone who is not stupid can understand that this is what Yiguo meant.

……

“I was also a little surprised when I first heard it, and subconsciously wanted to refute it, but I couldn’t find a point to refute it.”

“I have to say, it is true. With the movie “Sweet Honey”, no one will think that Xu Kong is just a TV drama director anymore, right?”

“Although, it is true that although Xu Kong is young and has only starred in one movie, his current box office appeal is definitely among the best among domestic directors.”

“Haha, just brag. I think it’s a bit too exaggerated.”

“Anyway, no one can predict what the future will be like, so we can just keep waiting. I am also looking forward to Xu Kong’s second movie.”

Because of a video of Yiguo, the Internet is in an uproar.
