Chapter 342
She was not kicked off the table, but completed another ascension
During the filming of Ru Meng Ling, Ling Sui had predicted that the show would cause too many quarrels among the audience, and the creators had to be mentally prepared for netizens to have a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days during the broadcast.
Not only did no one think she was exaggerating, but judging by the current situation, her prediction was still too conservative!
"Ru Meng Ling" is broadcast continuously and the arguments among the audience never stop.
There is no need to pick a day to have a quarrel. Fans of the drama can quarrel anywhere and any size, which is a true reflection of the fans.
When watching other dramas, most viewers put themselves into the perspective of the protagonist, but because the group portrait of "Ru Meng Ling" is so well shot, the audience can put themselves into many perspectives.
Some fans of the drama were outraged for Yun Zheng, as her subordinates were not on the same page with her. Then another group of fans couldn't help but come out to explain that they were all the emperor's subjects, so why did they have to listen to Yun Zheng? Since Yun Zheng gives priority to supporting her own direct lineage, others must also consider their own future and family.
Similarly, when fans of the drama were scolding Yun Zheng’s political enemies, some people presented facts and reasoned - is Yun Zheng’s decision necessarily right? Does she have enough power to carry it out? Can she ensure that the reforms will be implemented in accordance with expectations?
These three issues cut off Yun Zheng's halo as the protagonist and also caused a large number of diversions in the positions and preferences of drama fans, which led to the endless quarrels.
Including Jinzhan's offline incident this time, many viewers actually blamed Yun Zheng.
There was a fierce argument among the fans of the characters. One side said that Yun Zheng was a human, not a god, and she could not predict everything. The other side insisted that if she was willing to pay more and make more thorough plans, Jinzhan would not have had an accident. In the final analysis, Yun Zheng did not take it seriously enough.
The two sides also discussed key points such as "Yun Zheng has limited resources and has done her best to this point", "She is not like this to xxx", "Different events at different times and places cannot be compared". Because Jinzhan was offline, many viewers were abused, so the view of sympathizing with Jinzhan prevailed at this time.
Some black fans laughed at Ling Sui for asking for trouble and bringing disaster upon himself. Yes, the power struggles and group portraits were well filmed for you, but the profits of the show were eaten up by the supporting roles. The leading actor worked so hard for so long but got nothing.
They felt very proud when they said these sarcastic remarks. Some people also posted in the entertainment group that although the drama they produced was ridiculed (they even tried to argue that it was their rivals who were slandering them), their position as the number one was very solid. No matter how well "Ru Meng Ling" performs, what's the point of Ling Sui being kicked off the table?
Not only the fans were unhappy with what was said, but also the drama fans who were already arguing with each other were unhappy.
Ling Sui has always been the protagonist of "Ru Meng Ling", and the plot has always revolved around Yun Zheng's story. Who said she was kicked off the table? Yun Zheng's popularity has always been ranked first on various lists, and many drama fans just don't like this character, which does not mean they hate her. Are these two extreme emotions the only ones left in the world?
Besides, if we were to seriously analyze the feelings of drama fans towards the various characters in Ru Meng Ling, for these people engaged in political struggles, the word "support" is obviously more appropriate than "like".
When viewers of political intrigue dramas discuss the plot, the general principle is still "blame the issue, not the person." Even if they show a clear preference for a certain character and cheer for him or her, it is based on his or her political views and has little to do with the actor who plays the role.
As for Jinzhan... although fans of the character Jinzhan feel that Yun Zheng owes Jinzhan something, what they hate most are Yun Zheng's political enemies. True fans of the characters would not confuse the main and the secondary and forget who was the murderer of Jinzhan.
The haters have missed the point again. The audiences in the lower-tier markets of Ru Meng Ling only want to watch the show and have little desire to participate in these discussions. The direction of public opinion cannot affect them.
The people who are making the most noise in the rising market actually know very well what they are arguing about.
Many colleagues think that "quarrel" is the secret to the continued popularity of "Ru Meng Ling", which is not wrong, but the core of quarrels in different works is completely different.
Some quarrels are about emotions, about who has more accounts, or who is more arrogant and unreasonable. When such quarrels start, the audience will leave. No one watches the drama to waste their time.
What "Ru Meng Ling" is arguing about is its solid plot content and meaningful opinions. Although it is inevitable that Internet trolls will appear, the overall atmosphere is still relatively sunny and positive.
Even if many of them are just Internet politics...at least they look pretty intimidating! It’s much better than a war of words where personal attacks are made at every turn!
After careful screening, you will find that there are still many big guys who have contributed useful information.
Therefore, Ling Suisui was not "kicked off the table" this time. Instead, he achieved another ascension in the eyes of many people.
An actor’s status is influenced by many factors, but the audience’s impression of the actor is often most closely linked to his works. To be honest, even though Ling Sui has won so many Best Actress awards, it is not as good as one drama "Ru Meng Ling" that makes the audience clearly realize that rather than being a "star", she is also an excellent actor.
Never underestimate the filter effect of the evaluation of "good actor". It can beautify a six-point acting skill to a nine-point skill. It can make an actor have super thick blood volume. Even if he fails in many works and his popularity is low in the future, he can still maintain a super high status, and his status will automatically increase with age.
This is the real pension insurance - although Ling Sui probably doesn't need it, he is ashamed to spend his own savings.
The revenue of "Ru Meng Ling" is only in the range of big profits and crazy big profits, Ling Sui just needs to wait and hear the results.
In between her work in Europe, she also paid attention to the revenue of Harvest Media's other businesses.
First, there were the company’s artists. When Ling Sui looked through the online roster, she didn’t expect that the company already had eight signed artists, and it was the first time she saw some of the names and faces of some of them.
This is not surprising. After all, she is not involved in the management of the company's specific affairs. These newcomers are not traffic-oriented and do not require the company to devote too many resources, so no one will tell her specifically.
Tong Xiaoman: "In the second half of the year, the artist that will be recommended to various platforms and film and television companies is Yin Lerong. With the role of Jinzhan, she has the opportunity to become a popular actress and can play the leading role in the next movie."
As long as Fengshou Media is willing to exchange some resources, she can compete for the second female lead in a long drama, or the first female lead in a high-quality horizontal screen short drama.
The cut of Jinzhan's offline performance has received very high views on various platforms, and her and Yunzheng's CP also topped the list. Yin Lerong’s social media accounts on various platforms also became the star with the most followers this week.
From a minor supporting role in Hengdian, she worked hard to become such a shining rising star. Fans also dug up the unfair treatment she had suffered in the past. Now she has fully fulfilled the three elements of beauty, strength and tragedy.
Ling Suisui nodded. They signed Yin Lerong because they saw her potential. It turns out that she had a good eye.
As for other contracted actors, Ling Suisui did not pay too much attention to them. She knew that some of them were doing well while others were on the decline. Since she was not involved in management, she only listened to reports and did not make any decisions.
The group of artists headed by Zhao Xianning were all those who made progress under her watch, and she had feelings for all of them. But given the company's limited resources, if she chooses to help someone, another person's interests will inevitably be harmed. Who should suffer this loss?
"By the way -" Ling Suisui thought of a special person, "How is Feng Li's academic performance recently? Has acting delayed her schooling?"
She almost forgot that there was a child star in the company.
Tong Xiaoman: "Don't worry, it won't delay her. We try to arrange for her to film on weekends and holidays. For the few school days when she has to take leave, I also arrange for her to take extra classes to ensure that she can keep up."
Given Feng Li's growing environment, if she still wants to be an actor when she grows up, she will definitely take the academic route. Without considering the international student status, the college entrance examination is a hurdle that must be overcome.
Ling Suisui also wanted her to be admitted to the Film Academy so that she could legitimately join Tang Bing and his faction, so her academic performance must not lag behind.
What surprised Ling Suisui a little was that Fengshou Media’s revenue in the short drama field was actually very high.
She was surprised: "I remember... a few years ago you said you would temporarily quit the skit circuit, but you rejoined it so soon?"
Tong Xiaoman explained to her that when Fengshou Media first started making short dramas, they were actually vertical screen short dramas, with each episode lasting a few minutes.
Later, this market became so hot that stories of “getting rich overnight” were everywhere. Because there were too many people entering the industry, in order to attract the audience's attention, there was a tendency for colleagues to compete with each other to see who was the most daring and had the most shameless attitude. She realized something was wrong at that time and withdrew decisively.
The companies that stayed in the industry at the time did make some quick money, but new regulations were soon introduced, requiring these companies to remove their works and impose fines. The money they made was not enough to cover the compensation.
The short drama market was volatile, but Tong Xiaoman seized the opportunity and acquired several bankrupt small companies during the industry reshuffle, expanding the scale of short drama production at the lowest cost. After the market recovered, she jumped in and seized the initiative together with several industry leaders.
Ling Suisui was very impressed: "You are worthy of it, Sister Tong. I feel that your career path can definitely be filmed into a drama with a heroine as the main character. Do you have this intention?"
"It has already been filmed." Tong Xiaoman said, "Last year's short play ranked third in revenue, and the screenwriter referred to an experience I had before."
Moreover, that work took only two months from planning the shooting to online broadcasting, which is not even the fastest speed in the industry.
Ling Sui was a little stunned when he heard this. With the speed at which this idea was implemented, if it were used to catch up with the trend, long dramas and movies would never be able to catch up.
In the future, these two types of film and television works can only create trends on their own. If they want to chase trends, there is probably only one way out, which is a dead end.
