Chapter 423
If you want to blame someone, you can only blame Ling Suisui for being too powerful
In July, Ling Sui received two good news.
First of all, the hit period of "Three Generations" has ended. The average playback volume of the cloud collection of this drama is 152 million, which perfectly achieved the expected goals of major platforms before its launch.
Of course, we don’t know how those people who praised it to death feel now.
The Petal Rating of "Three Generations" is currently 9.1. The number of people who rated it far exceeds the range of five stars that fans can give it, and there are also many malicious one-star reviews. Most people believe that this rating is relatively objective.
There is no doubt that Ling Suisui has once again been pulled into the selection of the three major Best Actress awards for next year and the year after, and it is believed that she has a good chance of winning them all.
We’ll talk about what happens next year and the year after next. Suisi ignores these prophecy posts and currently focuses on praising the broadcast performance of “Three Generations”.
If you are not very satisfied during the popular period, it was to encourage fans to strive for greater heights and not to just lie down when you reach any point. Now that the popular period is over and all the data has basically settled, it’s time to hype it up.
Fruit TV is the best online broadcaster in history and currently the best show of the year. The average viewership of CVB exceeds 2 - this is a show broadcast on satellite TV!
How valuable is this rating? After entering the CVB era and CCTV becoming the only dominant TV station, all satellite TV stations combined had only two productions with an average rating of over 2, and one of them was "Three Generations".
The CVB ratings champion of Fruit Channel is "Three Generations", and Shi Ya's average ratings have just broken 1. Congratulations to "Three Generations", which has a huge online broadcast and ratings, and has a very good reputation. It is a truly phenomenal hit drama for all ages!
The three leading actors of this drama, Tang Bing and Ling Sui have enough experience and status, and the good broadcast of the drama can only be icing on the cake. The one who has been promoted the most obviously is actually Feng Li.
Due to her age, the number of scripts she receives is definitely not as high as that of adult actors, but the specific number is beyond her agent's imagination.
In Tong Xiaoman's words, she didn't even know that there was such a broad market for child stars. However, after learning more about it, she found out that many urban dramas and family dramas simply changed the sons into daughters and then extended invitations to Feng Li.
Unless the script requires a boy to make the whole show logically convincing, the gender of many child characters in the play is not that important.
Ling Suisui discussed with the director of "Road to Fame" for a long time before he accepted "de-gendered casting"; and after Feng Li quickly became famous with the role of Qin Miaoyi, she didn't have to fight for anything herself, other people would find ways to get close to her.
She had many feelings, but of course she was mainly happy for Feng Li.
Not only the actors but also other creative members have become more famous thanks to this drama.
The director of "Three Generations" is a frequent collaborator of Harvest Media, and the screenwriter team is also contracted by the company. In the future, whether it is filming domestic dramas or selling the copyrights of their works, these screenwriters will have greater say in the industry.
The script of "Three Generations" has been written for several years. This is no longer an industry secret. After the marketing account moved it around, people who frequently surf the Internet knew about it.
Moreover, during the filming, many people came out to say that Ling Suisui was always paying attention to the script and was deeply involved. This drama was organized by her and served her. She often proposed revisions and every version of the outline had to be signed and approved by her.
The reason why the melon owner broke the news is actually to lay the groundwork in advance - as long as the performance of this drama does not meet expectations, it means that Ling Suisui is an amateur and blindly directs, and only wants to highlight himself and change his character. The screenwriter dances with shackles, so it’s no wonder that the writing is bad, etc...
But, "Three Generations" was quite well broadcast. And it’s not just the kind of good that is a hit, it’s the kind of good that is a huge hit in all dimensions. In this case, to say that Ling Suisui was deeply involved in the writing of the script is a compliment and commendation to her.
In the past, people could only praise her for her good vision, but now they can directly praise Ling Sui for her talent and that she is a mentor in the screenwriting world.
Fans of other actors would brag about working with xx team, but unfortunately, Ling Sui rarely has this opportunity - compared to working with well-known screenwriters, Ling Sui usually works with others and then helps them become well-known screenwriters.
When the chief screenwriter was interviewed, he was not stingy in praising Ling Suisui highly. Whether it was her acting during filming or the ideas she came up with during the script writing stage, the screenwriter described her as a "top actor."
"In fact, in the previous versions of the script, the heroines had different last names."
The screenwriter said: "Sister Sui once raised some questions and asked why we deliberately set it up this way. She knew that three generations of mothers and daughters with different surnames would have a stronger irony, but the core focus of the play should not be their pain, but how they cope with life and how to live their lives well."
The concepts of "female protagonist" and "female-centered narrative" in the market are rather vague and often controversial. Ling Sui has starred in several works that are considered feminist, but she does not dare to say how deeply she understands this issue.
When she made this suggestion, she was actually thinking of Bai Wei. She has already filmed Bai Wei's pain and struggle, so the new work may be able to enter a new stage and explore countless futures of Bai Wei.
"Three Generations" has always been positioned as an urban family drama during the creative stage, and after its broadcast it gained a good reputation as a "feminist narrative masterpiece." The original intention of the creators was just to create a warm, touching group story with some comedy elements.
Looking back at the works of similar themes shot by Ling Sui, "Three Generations" may not be the one with the best reputation or the one that has won the most trophies, but it is indeed the most well-known among the general public.
When she filmed Under the Wave, many period dramas started shooting; when she filmed Like a Dream, political dramas also served as a trendsetter for a while;
Now her drama "Three Generations", with an average playback volume of 150 million per episode, has finally escaped the category of "hundreds of millions of box office can only be considered a niche movie in China". It should be able to attract many colleagues to follow suit. After all, the cost of modern urban dramas is lower than the above two.
Thanks to the Emperor Sui, if the long drama market can really have another topic that is guaranteed to make money - at least a topic that will not easily lose money after the work reaches the passing line, then some companies will be able to survive, which is equivalent to Ling Sui indirectly saving the jobs of many workers.
Who says there can’t be a hit drama during the cold winter of the film and television industry? Ling Suisui tells everyone with his new drama that the sluggish market is the result, not the cause, and as long as there are good works, the audience will not abandon long dramas.
If there is anything missing from "Three Generations", it would be the long tail.
It is a great pity that the new dramas launched on various platforms in June were not very good. After the membership of "Three Generations" ended, the market plummeted from 400 million to 200 million. The new drama of Fruit TV, which has taken over the schedule of "Three Generations", is currently fighting to defend the average box office of 15 million per episode.
To be honest, this result is relatively good among all the shows on Fruit TV. After all, an average of several million per episode is the norm for Fruit TV. However, the show it follows is "Three Generations", and the leading actors are inevitably mocked for being useless even with all the wealth they have.
Sui Si did not pay attention to other people's achievements. They only regretted that the monthly membership cards charged by many viewers in May had expired, and Fruit TV's new user acquisition in June was hit back to square one, which inevitably affected the long tail of "Three Generations".
What is even more regrettable than Sui Si is the data bloggers.
The decline in the number of views of "Three Generations" is very similar to the decline curve of the overall market. It is no exaggeration to say that this work supported the market for two months... Now it is July, are there any new dramas that can compete on various platforms?
Most people are pessimistic, especially since a very strong commercial film, "The First Achiever", was released in July. Although TV series and movies are on different tracks, the audience's attention span is limited.
Moreover, marketing resources on the Internet are also limited, and all the popularity has been divided up by movies, so many dramas can only rely on the platform's chassis. But given the overall market situation... Well, let's not mention it.
People’s joys and sorrows are not shared. This is the second good news about Ling Suisui.
After releasing the trailer, the preheating effect of "Magic Top Student" on various platforms was very good. The return of Li Mo and the appearance of the new superhero attracted enough attention on the Internet, and the pre-sale performance was also very impressive.
Although Ling Suisui is only a special guest this time, audiences who like her and Li Mo will also consider buying tickets for her.
Anyway, for many people, watching movies is a social need, and the presence of Ling Sui means that there is a preference for selection. Unless it is a cameo of a few seconds, the amount of the role will not have a big impact on this.
Not to mention the 20-year-old girls. Although they will not collect data for this movie, nor will they promote it particularly hard, they can still get a few movie tickets and take their family and friends to the cinema to watch the movie.
Someone in the entertainment group even started a thread saying that Theresa is now working hard for Bertha's first movie. After "Top Scorer" is released, will Theresa's popularity surpass Li Mo's?
Only a cute person would have loan anxiety because of this kind of rhetoric. When a cute person sees this, all he can think of is laugh.
To be honest, they would be worried if "Magic High" did poorly at the box office.
After all, the example of miracle is right in front of us. Do you want to keep making solo movies, or make an xxx alliance? Looking at the box office comparison, fans will definitely have the answer in their minds.
If Li Mo is always the most popular, it means that the global audience only loves Ling Sui, and the charm of the Sui Emperor is unmatched; if Li Mo's popularity is entangled with other superheroes, then CP and rival families are inevitable. I hope that secondary creations can flourish and feed back to the movie;
If Li Mo's popularity really ranked last in the series - not to mention that Suisi had confidence in Ling Suisui and felt that such a thing would never happen - even if it really became like this, what's wrong with them guiding Li Mo? What's wrong with letting Li Mo suck some blood?
Anyway, many people have been dismissing Ling Sui's contribution to the leading role, saying that all the high-grossing movies were "promoted by Dillard". Since she has been criticized, why can't it become true?
Of course, the above is just the contingency plan made privately by big fans. Deep down, they were unwilling and did not think Ling Sui needed to use these tactics.
With anticipation and confusion, fans waited for the release of "Magic Top Student".
Good news, Magic performed well at the mainland box office, and the final box office is expected to be about 300 to 400 million, which is an excellent performance among the imported films in recent years; (Imported films starring Ling Suisui are on a separate track by default)
Even better news - Magic's global box office is better than the same period, standing out in the summer season, and DeLand is making money again this time.
However, based on the current trend, it will be difficult for its box office to surpass Kung Fu 1.
This is certainly not the fault of the actors or director. If Magic had been released first, its performance as a pioneering work would stand up.
If we have to blame someone, we can only blame the fact that Ling Suisui is too powerful.
