Chapter 339: The Big Countryside Stage! Come if you have a dream!
In the middle of summer in May, a large number of TV series were launched.
Among them is Shanbei TV Station, which has received almost no attention.
They are at the bottom of the satellite TV. Shannan used to compete with them and they were in the same boat. But they ended up joining S.H.I.E.L.D. and were led by the big guys.
The remaining former brothers are still struggling in the mud.
Zhao Zhengping, the director of Shanbei, also had some complaints.
He felt that while we can share the hardship, we cannot share the happiness.
But this time they were able to stand out from many satellite TV stations and picked up this hidden gem - "The Temptation to Go Home".
The entire TV station was very happy.
They just have a good mentality. If this drama fails, it won't be a big problem because it was not expensive to buy and their other dramas also failed.
To what extent?
If the ratings break 2, it will be included in their TV station's annual top ten...
So for Shanbei, what is there to lose?
And at least this is the work of Loki and Zhang Wen, these two have never let down their guard since their debut.
Shanbei has always been dominated by rural dramas, maternal dramas, and anti-Japanese war dramas. These dramas do not require stars and traffic and are low-priced.
Relatively speaking, the ratings are also low.
After watching so many films of this kind, Zhao Zhengping also found some patterns in them.
For example, dramas that abuse daughters-in-law, break up lovers, and other melodramatic ones actually have higher ratings.
In other words, rural dramas also have their own highlights.
So when Zhao Zhengping went to see "The Temptation to Go Home", he seemed to have found the brightest star in the crowd.
This plot is so complicated that his CPU is almost dried up! But he just can't stop playing. What's going on?
Other platforms all pursue high-end, traffic, and celebrities, but they are different. They can't afford it, so they can only find joy in suffering.
So he kept it to himself, not letting others see his excitement and excitement.
Finally got a bargain at a very low price.
He also found that the Avengers were not unhappy, and seemed to be happy no matter how many units were sold.
After he came back, he communicated the situation with the station. They mobilized all the resources they could for this drama and started promoting it after the Chinese New Year.
The remote control stays on the north side of the mountain three times, and you can hear at least one of the following:
【
For the pain of clinging to all love, for the hurt of clinging to all pain.
I can no longer distinguish between love and hate...
】
The song is called "Unforgivable" and the singer is the heroine Tang Junli, a third-tier actress.
The song is as melodramatic as the TV series.
But there was a different birth.
That is, it was written and composed by the music king Iron Man, and was tailor-made for "The Temptation to Go Home".
It’s impossible to say it’s not true, because the lyrics really fit the plot.
After the song was released, it caused a lot of ridicule, just as bad as "Phoenix", even worse.
Everyone has a common question - is Iron Man transforming into a rustic track?
"This song...ah~it's hard to review!"
"Hahahahaha, this TV show is harder to review than a song! Look at the synopsis, I can't believe it's the work of the same screenwriter who wrote 'Infernal Affairs' and 'Kung Fu Hustle'..."
Lin Pinru and Hong Shixian are an enviable model couple, a match made in heaven, both talented and beautiful. However, every family has its own challenges... Pinru's mother-in-law criticizes her for not being able to conceive, and her daily life is full of setbacks. Meanwhile, her best friend Ellie, who studied in France, suddenly returns with a little boy, Sean, who turns out to be Shixian's biological child. To save her lost love, Ellie declares war on her best friend. Pinru, on the other hand, grows increasingly exhausted by the ongoing battles between her family and her love life...
“Uh uh uh uh…”
“I read it out, and I feel so ashamed just reading it~”
"I'm pretty sure I'm not one of the audience for this show."
“When I saw Every Family Has Its Own Problems, I knew this drama was not going to be easy!”
"When I saw Pinru being criticized by her mother-in-law for not being able to get pregnant, I thought it was a pirated book and definitely not written by Luo Ji!"
"Hahahahahahahahaha, I'm laughing so hard! In just less than 200 words, it describes all kinds of messy relationships between husband and wife, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, best friends, and parents and children. In other words, this is a melodramatic urban family emotional drama!"
"That's the legendary mother-in-law drama!"
"I recommended it to my mom. I believe Rocky's drama won't fail, but this one doesn't seem suitable for me."
"Written by Loki? Could it be someone with the same name?"
"No, the director is Zhang Wen, the Zhang Wen from 'The Beginning'!"
"One second I'm in a sci-fi shootout, the next second I'm fighting over a man to help him with his confinement..."
"The actors are even more outrageous. Tang Lijun, who originally came from a damsel drama, is a no-brainer. I'll skip this one, she's on the right track! Wu Shiheng, who debuted in an idol group, is actually acting in a melodramatic drama. I've already removed his songs from my playlist! This is the most outrageous, Zhao Ru! A top actress plays a supporting role as a mistress..."
"This is incomprehensible! Why did Zhao Ru agree to this? Is it because her work has decreased recently? That shouldn't be the case! She's a top-tier talent and she's very stable!"
"Hahahahaha, Sister Ru Ru might want to experience life~"
"Maybe he's just trying to flatter Loki! Under the tyranny of the boss..."
"Are these people from Avengers, Starlight, and New Language crazy? So down-to-earth?!"
"A big rural stage! Come if you have a dream!"
Despite everyone's lack of expectations and pessimism, Shanbei TV continued to promote its products in a high-profile manner.
The banner is Loki + Zhang Wen, a masterpiece created by the original team of "The Beginning"!
There is also Zhao Ru's role of Ellie, which is said to be the transformation work of the top actress in TV dramas.
But no matter how much marketing is done, not many people pay attention to this drama.
Because there were many other TV series at the same time, such as an idol drama on Dazhong, a suspense drama on Xinyu, and a historical war film on CCTV-8, which were all very attractive.
So this May, the TV drama market is a big melee.
On Saturday, May 8, "The Temptation of Going Home" officially premiered.
The unexpected reversal did not occur, and the plot was as bloody as described.
Pinru, played by Tang Junli, is a traditional, aggrieved young wife who takes care of the family and serves her husband and mother-in-law.
She has played many motherly roles, and this drama seems to be tailor-made for her. It is so aggrieved, so heartbreaking, and so frustrating...
Hong Shixian and her have been in love for many years, but he still cheated on her with her best friend Ai Li...
Zhao Ru's clever aura is also very suitable for the third party, Ellie.
And Hong Shixian...
Idol singer suddenly turned into a greasy scumbag...
This sense of tearing and conflict seems a bit overwhelming...
When Hong Shixian saw Ai Li, he said:
【Why are you wearing Pinru's clothes?】
Ai Li slowly stood up, walked up to Hong Shixian and answered:
【Since you want to pursue excitement, then follow through to the end. 】
Then Hong Shixian twisted his lips and said his classic quote:
[You are so sexy~]
Coupled with Wu Shiheng's taste, which Zhang Wen described as just the right amount of greasiness, the audience felt a chill.
“…”
"!!! Such disgusting lines came from the mouth of my former idol Wu Shiheng?"
"Such a disgusting line was written by the same screenwriter of Rocky who wrote Infernal Affairs?"
"I got goosebumps all over the floor!"
"Isn't it awkward when these guys act?"
"You're so flirty~"
"My scalp is tingling!"
"I'm too embarrassed to watch! I'm really too embarrassed to watch!"
Although the show was not well-received by the audience, many people still decided to give Loki and Zhang Wen some face and patiently watched a few episodes.
I didn't expect that there would be no reversal or counterattack this time.
This is a melodramatic romance drama!
Rustic! Vulgar! Greasy!
The premiere ratings reached 1.87%.
Compared with other dramas of the same period that often scored 3 and 4, it is far behind, but for Shanbei, their expectations are not high, and being able to get over 1.5 is already very good.
"Don't worry, I think breaking 2 will be no problem."
Zhao Zhengping said firmly that this kind of drama needs some time.
After it was aired, other dramas began to gain popularity and became a hot topic, so "The Temptation to Go Home" gradually faded away.
But the ratings have basically remained stable at around 2.
