Chapter 417
Starting with 12 Guang, whose life is it?
The broadcast time of "Three Generations" in the Eastern 8th zone is 8 pm. This time is more friendly to Chinese audiences, but not so convenient for users in Europe and the United States.
But it doesn’t matter, those who are determined will always overcome all difficulties.
When the alarm went off in the morning, Louise shot out of bed. After finishing washing up as quickly as possible, he turned on the Fruit TV on his tablet and was very happy to see "Three Generations" appear on the homepage recommendation.
There is a header, a fixed screen, and pop-up recommendations. It is worthy of the treatment of a big drama. The fruit is quite sensible.
In fact, the overseas version of Fruit TV will also update the series simultaneously, but Louis is worried that the data of the overseas version cannot be included in the data of the mainland platform. Anyway, his device is always connected to the mainland network ladder, so he just uses the mainland version to watch it.
Moreover, the mainland version has more viewers and the comments are more interesting.
Louis opened the first episode of "Three Generations" and didn't rush to read the plot, but quickly skimmed through the entire film.
There are 6 commercials at the beginning, 3 commercials in the middle, 2 creative commercials and 1 commercial at the end. All four episodes have this configuration of 12 commercials, which is an unprecedented arrangement of fruit investment promotion.
As the long-running drama market in the mainland is becoming increasingly sluggish, with the total market value only over 100 million today, the performance of the 12th broadcast can only be described as "great".
Louise tried to suppress the corners of her mouth, but she couldn't do it at all. The queen of the show was so happy.
After watching the commercial, Louis finally felt like going back to the first episode to watch the plot.
In order to compete with various entertainment activities for the audience's attention, the plot of "Three Generations" is very compact and the pace is fast. In the first few minutes, the heroine Qin Wenjing's speech at the meeting introduced her identity and personality, as well as the work challenges she faced.
Qin Wenjing works for a large Internet company, owns a car, a house and millions in savings. In the eyes of many people, she is a glamorous "middle class". But she is already 34 years old this year, and the curse of being laid off by a large company at the age of 35 always hangs over her head, making her anxious.
She wanted to move up a level and be promoted to a higher level of management, so that she could have a firm foothold in the company and not have to worry about when the HR department would call her for a talk. At the same time, Qin Wenjing, who is vigorous and decisive at work, would become so nervous that her fingers would tremble and her eyes would wander when she was about to open the physical examination report.
The work environment is very stressful, and the health is probably not ideal. Qin Wenjing also has to take care of her mother who sprained her waist while doing housework, and is worried about whether her daughter should go to a public or international school...
Louis opened "Three Generations" with the mentality of "full affirmation of Ling Suisui", and was already hooked after watching only half of the first episode. There is no need for a fan filter, he is now just an audience member who is worried about Qin Wenjing.
This is how urban life dramas are hooked, and Louis was hooked into a black carp. His assistant came to his room and urged him to go downstairs for breakfast. When he was about to go to put on makeup after breakfast, he did not forget to download the drama to his tablet so that he could continue watching it without interruption when there was no wifi.
The assistant’s Chinese is not as good as his, and the mainland version doesn’t have English subtitles, but the assistant knows Qin Wenjing—that’s Ling Suisui.
Hey, Louis is chasing stars on the Internet again. When he sees Ling Sui in person after putting on makeup, he will dance with excitement again and won’t be able to calm down for a second.
This is indeed the case. Louis happened to be filming for "Guardians" these days, and he had several scenes as the elf Wade.
Although it was only written in the script and he didn't know whether the movie would be retained when it was actually released, Louis still came happily. You can get paid for being a fan, but without Dilande, there is no such good thing!
When he saw Ling Sui, Louis couldn't wait to discuss the plot with her.
"Will Wen Jing be able to stay in the company? Or will she start her own business in the future?" Louis asked, "Although the protagonist can always achieve her dreams, this character does not have that kind of powerful aura. You made me believe that she is just an ordinary person."
Ling Suisui smiled: "Wen Jing knows that you might be unhappy about describing her like this."
“But you’re glad,” Louis said, “because that’s the character you played, and I discovered it.”
Yes, if this was on the Internet, Ling Sui would want to give him a thumbs up.
Of course she would be unhappy if someone said Qin Wenjing was ordinary. This is not because her abilities are mediocre. In fact, Qin Wenjing's state in the early stage was a projection of her inner anxiety.
"She couldn't accept others saying she couldn't do it, but she kept denying herself in her heart."
Louis understood. He realized at this moment that the shots and pictures he saw in "Three Generations" were actually the perspective of the protagonist Qin Wenjing who was not confident in himself.
Makeup did not affect his viewing of the show, so Louis continued to watch. Even though he was watching the mainland version, people in the room who didn't understand Chinese also came over and enthusiastically guessed the plot based on the actors' performances, causing quite a few jokes.
It was not until the leading actors were about to start filming that the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.
Ling Suisui left first, and after confirming that she had left, Louis took out his mobile phone to surf the Internet and check the hot searches on the mainland Internet.
Within an hour, hot searches related to "Three Generations" dominated the charts on all platforms. Some people said sourly that this streaming model is really expensive. How many views are needed to earn back so much marketing cost?
Louis snorted, and quickly typed on the keyboard: [This is not something that the 1,000-player defense drama should consider]
After being in the fan circle for many years, Louis has already mastered the essence of laning.
Don't prove yourself, don't follow the other person's topic, just pick on the other person's weak spots!
Moreover, other people don’t have this kind of push because they don’t want to? Just because a marketing account brought up a topic but no one discussed it and it didn’t get off the ground, we can’t say that other dramas haven’t bought marketing.
Unlike other platforms, Fruit TV has no popularity data, and the front-end data is notoriously false. Among all video platforms, the degree of reliance on third-party data platforms is the highest when it comes to judging whether a fruit drama will be a hit.
Louis opened two devices to watch the drama, and used another phone to frantically collect data for "Three Generations". He also used his own account to add 1,219 seats to the cloud booking of Ling Suisui Studio.
He was in a conflicted state of mind: he was afraid that his fans would find out who he was, but at the same time he really hoped that it would be found out. However, Louis really thought too much this time. There are a lot of wealthy women in the 20-year-old fan group, so spending more than 10,000 RMB on him would not be too inconspicuous.
Louis originally wanted to keep a low profile and add a few more times, but when he looked at the list of private bookings, he found that many mainland celebrities were on it, and there were quite a few male actors who had booked all 1,219 seats.
...Damn it, if Louis hadn't been able to confirm whether other people's time was earlier than his, he would have wanted to scold them for copying his ideas.
Soon it was Louis' turn to film, and he had to put down his equipment with regret.
But he didn't press pause, instead he connected the device to the headphone cable and continued playing. People can choose not to watch it first, but the live broadcast cannot be stopped. This is the basic awareness of career fans.
Louis came back to watch all four episodes after filming was finished.
The content of these four episodes is very coherent and compact, and the story lines of Qin Wenjing, Qin Meijuan, and Qin Miaoyi are also laid out.
Qin Wenjing returned to her hometown to visit the injured Qin Meijuan and heard her parents arguing about divorce.
From the perspective of father Xu Jianhua's narrative, this was purely Qin Meijuan's unreasonable behavior - didn't she just walk a few steps faster when going down the stairs and didn't he think of helping her? As soon as she called him, he came over. A couple who had been together for decades divorced over such a thing, and they were not afraid of being laughed at if the news got out.
Qin Meijuan insisted on getting a divorce, and Qin Wenjing's brothers and sisters also returned home. In my hometown, there was a vague division into two factions, one was Qin Meijuan and Qin Wenjing, and the other was Xu Jianhua and others.
The eldest brother always mentioned "our Xu family". The two women with the surname Qin seemed to be outsiders in the family.
"This is your Xu family, not my home."
Qin Meijuan, played by Tang Bing, said: "I want to go with Wen Jing to our Qin family."
This sentence ignited the fuse of the next round of quarrels. Xu Jianhua strongly demanded that Qin Wenjing change her surname to Xu Wenjing. It was because of her surname Qin that there was the saying of Xu family and Qin family. Wenjing no longer had any closeness with her brothers and sisters.
Qin Meijuan retorted, then let everyone else change their surname to Qin, wouldn’t they all be one family with the same surname?
Qin Meijuan went on to say that she was the only daughter in the family, and when she married Xu Jianhua, it was agreed that she would have a son with the surname Qin. However, after the children were born, Xu Jianhua couldn't bear to give up his son, so he chose his daughter, whom he disliked the most at the time.
What is the result? None of the sons in the Xu family have a promising future, but this daughter, whom he looked down upon in the beginning, is now the one who makes the most money and is doing the best. He is now regretting it and doesn't even think about who earned the money for Wen Jing's high school tuition by doing odd jobs! How can he have the nerve to do that!
Xu Jianhua, whose fig leaf was torn off, stretched out his hand in rage. Qin Wenjing tried to stop him and was slapped by him. Qin Meijuan instantly ignored her waist and rushed forward to wrestle with him. Others hurried forward to separate them.
The house was in chaos. Qin Miaoyi, who was brought back by Qin Wenjing, stayed in the room reading English words.
While the outside world was in turmoil, Miaoyi was living a peaceful life - no, there was a piece of white paper under her English book.
At this moment, Qin Miaoyi was listening to the noise outside the house. While laughing, she drew several people fighting on the paper.
Her drawing skills were average, the characters were just stick figures, and the lines were sloppy, but she smiled happily while drawing.
Louis didn't realize at this time that this was one of the few genuine smiles Qin Miaoyi had in the entire drama.
Qin Meijuan still followed Qin Wenjing to the big city. Louis estimated that her divorce storm with Xu Jianhua would last for several more episodes. The separation was only temporary. Even though Qin Meijuan had only been on the scene for a short time, Louis could see that she would never give up until she got the divorce certificate.
Qin Meijuan's adjustment to Qin Wenjing after coming to the "Qin family" was not smooth.
Living habits are secondary. The smart little Qin Miaoyi is very good at taking advantage of the information gap and the kindness of her elders to get Qin Meijuan to help her escape the "growth plan" formulated by Qin Wenjing.
Qin Miaoyi and Qin Wenjing's attitudes are at opposite ends, and the fence-sitter Qin Meijuan often wavers, thinking that what they each say makes sense; there are also many comedy elements in it, which often make Louis laugh until he crows.
In fact, he felt that with the cleverness shown by Qin Miaoyi, Qin Wenjing could be completely relieved. Such a smart and energetic child will definitely achieve great things when he grows up.
But he has no say. Qin Wenjing's requirements for her daughter are not the highest, but only higher. Not to mention that Qin Miaoyi's IQ should only be within the range of ordinary people. Even if she is a genius, Qin Wenjing would hope that she will continue to become a top genius.
Qin Miaoyi was only six years old, but Qin Wenjing had already considered her life plan for the next few decades when choosing a school for her to enter primary school.
Should I take the international route from elementary school and study abroad in the future, or should I first enter the mainland education system and lay a more solid foundation? Qin Wenjing considered the cost of the two routes, her own financial situation, her choice of middle school, high school and university, as well as international relations and situations...
She thought a lot, but she didn't take Qin Miaoyi's feelings into consideration.
This sounds wrong, but from an adult's perspective, it is reasonable for Qin Wenjing to temporarily ignore Qin Miaoyi - because Qin Miaoyi only wants to go to the same elementary school as her best friend, but this child has already moved to another city with his parents.
The audience can understand it, but little Qin Miaoyi cannot. She is in a cold war with Qin Wenjing.
Louis finished watching the four episodes quickly, and still felt a little unsatisfied.
The good news is that Ming Hui’s character has not appeared until now;
Bad news, Qin Wenjing's ex-boyfriend showed up, and he began to doubt Qin Miaoyi's identity.
Damn it, how could it end here? He is a distinguished SVIP, let him see the next episode quickly!
