Chapter 364 “The Secret Corner” is broadcast

In fact, the lineup of Changyun Film and Television’s new drama is not weak this time.

Not to mention that the male and female protagonists are both first-line artists with quite good popularity.

In addition, although director Qi Ziheng is not very famous, some of his previous works have a good reputation.

The reason why Yiguo is not optimistic.

There are mainly two points. The first is naturally the issue of screenwriters. Relevant information shows that for this drama of Changyun Film and Television called “Stupid Policeman Qin Yi”, there are as many as eight screenwriters involved in the creation of the script!

It is really a bit worrying that eight people wrote the script for a play.

In addition, this drama follows the model of some traditional suspense drama unit detective series.

It’s not that this model is outdated.

There are still a lot of really great shows that can serve as good examples.

But apart from that, the episodes of Xu Kong’s previous works, including “The Long Season” and “The Beginning”, are not long.

Now there are a lot of suspense dramas of about twelve episodes emerging.

Is it because the studios don’t know that longer series sell for more money?
of course not.

It’s because suspense dramas are almost entirely about details and foreshadowing, and they pay great attention to rhythm.

The longer the episode is, the more likely it is to have watered-down plots.

Most suspense dramas rely on word of mouth to win, so it can be said that the quality of the series is the key.

The shorter the episode, the more concise the script can be, the tighter the rhythm can be, and the excitement and quality of each episode can be guaranteed.

Considering that there are eight screenwriters for this drama, it is highly likely that different screenwriters will be responsible for the creation of a unit case.

For a drama with more than 30 episodes, I won’t talk about padding or anything like that. As long as the characters haven’t changed, it’s likely that there will be some disconnection, and it also depends on the continuity.

And the most critical main case that runs through the entire drama is handled.

……

“From the current trailer, it looks like there will be schizophrenia and various bizarre murder cases.”

“The elements are full.”

“Some suspense fans may feel ecstatic, but viewers who have really watched domestic suspense films in recent years should know.”

“These elements have almost become standard, the so-called traffic password.”

“Not every suspense drama needs to add these things to be exciting.”

“For example, Xu Kong’s “The Long Season” and “The Beginning.”

“On the contrary, I think that putting more effort into social issues or humanistic concerns might be a good way out.”

Igor gave his own ideas.

Of course, there are quite a few people in the live broadcast room at this time, in addition to various idlers or relatively pure people.

There are still many true fans of suspense dramas.

……

“I also feel that in today’s suspense dramas, the murder methods are really just for the sake of attracting attention.”

“It’s meaningless. Many dramas don’t even follow basic logic. There are quite a few that start strong but end badly. Even in terms of basic case logic, they are not as good as the much-criticized “Beginning”. Can you believe it?”

“No, buddy. Although everyone is complaining, they are comparing The Beginning with some excellent suspense dramas. It has not yet been reduced to discussing it together with those rubbish works.”

The discussion in Yiguo’s live broadcast room was in full swing.

But in fact, no matter how many films they watch, their requirements are naturally high.

Or some so-called fans and black fans, all of these people added together can only be considered a minority.

The vast majority of viewers don’t really care about these things.

At least before the show is officially aired, I will definitely not pay attention to the relevant news.

They are the ones who contribute most of the data. As for these people, they almost have only one reason for choosing to follow a drama, that is, it is good and they are interested in it.

Therefore, everything still depends on the market to make the final judgment.

Now anyone, including Igor or most people in the industry, making predictions is just nonsense.

……

“It feels like there’s no suspense anymore.”

At this time, Feng Ge still had two days before “The Hidden Corner” was broadcast.

When Yan Rui said these words, he felt a little bored.

I originally thought that the second battle with Changyun Film and Television would continue the same situation as last time.

Both sides spent money like crazy on publicity and promotion.

Who knew that this time Changyun Film and Television would directly choose to surrender.

After selling the copyright and barely making back the investment, they didn’t even do much publicity and promotion.

It seems like some money was invested, but the popularity was snatched away by the variety show “King of Masked Singer”.

Then I just started to play badly.

It’s really boring.

Yan Rui had once boasted in front of Xu Kong that he had eight different ways of promotion and publicity, eight!

It will definitely make it impossible for the opponent to resist.

In the end, it didn’t work.

Fengge didn’t even spend any money on publicity and promotion, but in the end it seemed like the effect was already the best.

It went so smoothly that it was beyond Yan Rui’s previous experience.

But after all, the director is Xu Kong, so no matter how special it is, it seems understandable.

……

Finally, about a week after the official release date, the two dramas finally officially started airing.

After being reminded, Qin Xian also began to consciously pay attention to some public opinions and trends on the Internet.

I don’t know if I don’t see it, I’m startled when I see it.

Not to mention that you can see a promotional video about Xu Kong’s new drama every once in a while.

The comments sections under these videos and topics are also the scene of heated discussions.

I didn’t know and thought this was not a drama to be broadcast, but a recent hot hit.

In addition, Qin Xian could also notice something.

These may be marketing accounts or self-media.

The status was definitely not the kind of status that he knew was paid for promotion.

Xu Kong really no longer needs to spend money to get these people to promote his new drama.

But it is the password for traffic itself. There are too many promotional videos for Xu Kong’s new drama, and the original intention is actually to ride on the popularity?

This may sound a little far-fetched.

But one has to admit that Xu Kong does seem a bit weird now.

Almost independent of most of the domestic celebrity artists.

Some other top streamers will try various ways to maintain their traffic.

Only Xu Kong, who didn’t have to do anything himself, has been able to maintain a rather exaggerated level of discussion about him.

Because many marketing accounts, self-media, etc., everyone has discovered that as long as they make videos related to Xu Kong, or post related articles and speeches, they can get traffic feedback far beyond the usual.

If it were you, wouldn’t you follow the trend?
The key is that no one is disgusted yet, which is the most outrageous thing.

Because most people have either heard Xu Kong’s songs or watched Xu Kong’s dramas, and can chat about him.

……

Qin Xian even saw two short videos that totaled only a few minutes.

It is to use dubbing to make a ranking of songs written by Xu Kong, or a ranking of characters in Xu Kong’s dramas.

The comment section below can reach tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of comments.

Qin Xian indeed ignored these so-called things.

He used to think that no matter how popular an artist was, he would never be able to completely influence the market. The factors that determine success are still the film and television company and the creative team.

But when it comes to Xu Kong, it seems that this rule no longer applies.

……

Originally, when the new drama was aired, he no longer wanted to look at the premiere data.

Changyun Film and Television has already recovered part of the cost from brand investment for this drama.

Even if there are losses in the future, I will accept it. The main thing is that I can’t invest more money.

But after thinking about it, I finally stayed in the company.

He wanted to watch Xu Kong’s new drama and also see what the premiere data of the drama was like.

What has been lingering in Qin Xian’s heart recently is an emotion called regret.

Especially when I think about how I was able to be the first to reach a cooperation with Xu Kong.

Maybe the other party might join them, Kiwi.

The more I think about it, the more uncomfortable I feel.

I also paid more attention to everything about Xu Kong now.

I can only say that what is more painful than getting something and then losing it is that you once had the chance to get it but gave it away for nothing.

Just like the current Penguin Video, Zeng Xi, who was promoted to vice president with the help of Xu Kong, probably has no idea how many times he has thanked him in his heart.

……

The time came to half past eight on Friday night.

Many people have already been waiting on the Penguin Video reservation platform.

The number of reservations for “The Bad Kids” has already exceeded two million, although it has not reached a record-breaking figure.

But after all, it has only been about a week since the release date, which is really quite scary.

For Yiguo, when “The Beginning” was first aired, she was still hesitating whether to watch “The Power of the World” or “The Beginning” first.

But now, he opened Penguin Video directly without any hesitation.

The main reason is that she is really looking forward to Xu Kong’s new drama.

As for the movie “Stupid Policeman Qin Yi” produced by Changyun Film and Television, it didn’t interest her at all.

If I hadn’t been making a video, I would have thought twice about whether to watch it or not.

……

Finally, the time came to half past eight, and she opened Penguin Video immediately.

In fact, in terms of broadcast progress, Mango TV is faster.

But Yiguo still chose to watch it on Penguin Video, which allowed her to write the manuscript in time in front of the computer while also checking some audience comments or barrage feedback at the same time.

It’s still a very familiar beginning, and Fengge’s logo is also quite classic.

But in addition to this, the value of the words “works directed by Xu Kong” is also increasing.

“Fuck, it’s finally started. I’ve been waiting for so long!”

“It’s finally on. I’ve been waiting for it since I finished my meal.”

“I feel like the style of this new drama is completely different from the previous “Beginning”!”

……

That’s right, Igor also noticed it.

The style of this film “The Bad Kids” is darker. Although the filter is warm-toned, the overall color and composition tend to be realistic or dark.

The story begins with a student named Zhu Chaoyang…

“The narrative pace is not fast, but it is still much faster than “The Long Season”…”

Yiguo commented in his heart.

At the beginning of the plot, it almost revolves around three children.

One of them is called Zhu Chaoyang, and he mainly talks about how he was not sociable in school and was isolated by his classmates.

There was also a man named Yan Liang, who was about the same age as Zhu Chaoyang. He escaped from the orphanage with a little girl named Pupu.

……

But Yiguo was able to calm down and watch it slowly.

The story then began to develop in parallel.

In addition to the three children, the character played by the movie emperor Chen Shuang, who is more familiar to the audience, also began to appear.

What’s more interesting is that Chen Shuang’s style this time is completely different from the character she played in “The Long Season” before.

Before, Biaozi was a typical image of a big brother from the Northeast, and he was not particular about details.

This time, Zhang Dongsheng is a mathematics teacher. He wears glasses and looks gentle and elegant.

The only similarity is that both of them have a kind of messed up life.

Zhang Dongsheng’s marriage had problems, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law also had a lot of complaints about him.

It’s nothing more than looking down on his identity as a teacher, and at the full moon party, all of this was written on her face.

……

On the other side of the story, because Yan Liang and Zhu Chaoyang were childhood friends, he brought Pupu to live with Zhu Chaoyang.

Three kids, just like that, got together.

However, the personalities of the three people can still be seen in some details.

Although Pupu is young, he is thoughtful and will consider whether they will disturb Zhu Chaoyang.

As for Yan Liang, he is a relatively loyal child, and he seems to trust his childhood friend Zhu Chaoyang so much.

Zhu Chaoyang is the one that Yigo feels is most likely to be the male protagonist, and he is also the most complicated one.

Although he accepted Yan Liang and Pu Pu, he would carefully hide his mother’s valuables before going out.

In addition, because of his parents’ divorce, although his father would see him, he had formed his own family with a wife and daughter, and neither of them liked him very much.

You can sense that he is obviously depressed, which is probably the reason why he has a rather withdrawn personality.

……

The story of the first episode progresses at a leisurely pace.

It can be seen that the director is not in a hurry at all. Everything in the previous part is explaining the background of the story and some important details.

Yiguo also watched it very seriously.

However, at the end of the first episode, the pace suddenly accelerated.

Two lines that seemed to have no connection at all unexpectedly came together.

Zhang Dongsheng was going mountain climbing with his father-in-law and mother-in-law, while Zhu Chaoyang and the other two were going because Pupu wanted to take pictures, so in order to commemorate their deceased parents, they asked Zhu Chaoyang to borrow a camera from his father, and the three of them went to take pictures together, and they went to the same mountain where Zhang Dongsheng and his father-in-law and mother-in-law were.

……

Zhang Dongsheng was not liked by his parents, but he did not want to be separated from his wife. However, his parents kept provoking him, saying that he was not suitable for his wife and was not worthy of her. They did not continue the topic and continued climbing the mountain.

“Do I still have a chance?”

Zhang Dongsheng asked this question with a smile.

However, I still got a very decisive answer from my father-in-law.

Afterwards, at the end of the day, Zhu Chaoyang had to say goodbye to his good friend.

Something happened at the Liufeng Mountain Scenic Area where his mother worked. When Zhu Chaoyang heard that his mother would not be back at night, he immediately called his good friend back.

At this moment, Pupu, who was watching the video, noticed that someone was pushed off the cliff behind them.

It turned out that while Pupu and the other two were taking pictures, Zhang Dongsheng, who was wearing glasses and taking pictures of his parents-in-law in a gentle manner, suddenly reached out and pushed his father-in-law and mother-in-law off the edge of the cliff on the top of the mountain behind them.

This explosive ending left Yiguo stunned.

The first episode slowly built up the situation, and then suddenly exploded at this moment, bringing shock.

The barrage was almost completely filled with the words “Fuck!”
