Chapter 210 Online Drama "Arc Light"
The afternoon assessment test went much better than He Chen expected.
Although He Jiong and Sa Bening both successfully completed the reasoning of the three questions, it took at least 20 minutes.
He Jiong misjudged the cause of death at the beginning, thinking that the person was strangled first and then the neck was cut, and he didn't find the murder weapon until he finally reacted.
Sa Bening was stuck on the evidence. He also thought of the CD fragments, but he habitually started to look for it at the scene, wasting a lot of time.
"Teacher Sa mainly suffered from too much experience, and Teacher He's judgment of the wound was also normal."
In the lounge, Meng Bai looked at He and Sa sitting opposite and explained with a smile.
"Forget it, don't make up for the two of us."
He Jiong waved his hand and joked, "If I hadn't heard Xiao Hezi tell you about your experience in the morning, I would really believe your explanation."
After he and Sa Bening finished, they were joking with each other that they were the same.
As a result, after listening to He Chen's story about Meng Bai's "speed clearance", he was directly hit.
"I'm mainly a professional match. If we really talk about the experience of reasoning and criminal investigation, I'm definitely not as good as Teacher Sa." Meng Bai said politely.
"No, no, it's really amazing that you can think of the contradictions at the scene so quickly. I really can't get used to this kind of simulated case format." Sa Bening on the side waved his hand and observed Meng Bai with some curiosity.
He had been in contact with the program team before, and this was the first time they met.
"I actually have a question." Sa Bening looked at Meng Bai, "Why do you want to ask me to participate in this program? I don't think I can adapt to the style of our program."
"The original idea was to hope that there would be someone who could compete with Teacher He to avoid the one-sided rhythm of the game. But after watching the reasoning process just now, I think the program actually needs a member like Teacher Sa."
Sa Bening asked with interest: "Why?"
Meng Bai did not explain, but asked back: "Has Teacher Sa tried to play a similar 'murder game' before?"
Sa Bening shook his head: "The murders I have seen before are not games."
He Chen on the side couldn't help but move his neck. This sounded creepy.
Unexpectedly, Meng Bai smiled and said, "Yes, that's why we need you, Teacher Sa!"
"Although "The Great Detective" is a variety show, we don't want the audience to feel that 'murder' is a very entertaining thing. The show needs a serious anchor like Teacher Sa to ensure the overall tone."
Sa Bening's eyes lit up. "I don't want the audience to feel that 'murder' is a very entertaining thing." This sentence is exactly what he wants.
"I'm looking forward to the first episode now." Sa Bening asked, "When is the first episode officially recorded?"
He Chen next to him said, "We will select the final fixed members before the end of the month, and officially record the first episode next month."
Variety shows are different from film and television dramas. Because of the long interval, most of them are recorded and broadcast at the same time.
Generally speaking, a program reserves three to four episodes of finished films before it starts broadcasting, which is enough for buffering.
The broadcast time of "The Great Detective" is March next year, so there are still three months, which is relatively ample time.
After He and Sa experienced it, He Chen and others probably had a comprehensive judgment on the difficulty of this assessment level.
As for Meng Bai's result, it was too smooth to be of reference value.
In the following days, the guests invited by the program team completed the recording of the "pilot assessment" one after another.
Many of them were recommended by Meng Bai.
Like Zhang Ruoyun, after "Forensic Qin Ming", many viewers have a "high IQ" filter for him, and participating in the show is just right to consolidate his personality.
Similar to him, there is also Liu Haoran.
Although it has not started filming yet, "Detective Chinatown" is already scheduled to be released in the summer of next year.
"The Great Detective" is perfectly adapted to the movie from time to type to style, and can be used as a pre-heating promotion.
It happened that Liu Haoran himself was also very interested in "reasoning and detective work", so he recommended him through Meng Bai.
It is said that hearing that Sa Bening is coming makes Meng Bai and other creators happy. When they heard that Liu Haoran was coming, the girls in the entire program team cheered directly.
When they saw the real person, they turned into little fans one by one and took photos around him.
The reason why he is so popular is simple. "The Best of Us" has started airing.
In the first two episodes, the popularity was a bit tepid because of the slow pace and bland style.
However, as the plot unfolds and the outstanding word-of-mouth ferments, the number of fans and playback data has increased rapidly.
In the first week of broadcast, the number of views barely exceeded 100 million. But after the second week, the number of views reached 400 million.
Now, more than half a month after the broadcast, the cumulative number of views has reached 800 million, and the Douban score is as high as 8.9.
In terms of youth films in the past two years, this is the drama with the highest audience rating.
The hit online drama naturally led to the popularity of the leading actors, and the "Geng Geng Yu Huai" CP has become a hot topic recently.
As the male lead, Liu Haoran naturally reaped a wave of dividends, and instantly gained countless "girlfriend fans".
The project producer Xiaotangren Culture also became famous in one battle. When Zhu Zhenhua called Meng Bai, the joyful tone could not be suppressed.
But it is normal for him to be happy. He has worked hard to make the project under such great pressure. Once it becomes popular, can't we make people happy?
More importantly, the IP value of the entire "Zhenhua Series" has been brought up by the drama "The Best of Us".
It is conceivable that when the next work in the same series starts shooting, he will definitely not have to beg for investment.
This is also a good thing for Arclight Film and Television.
When investing in this drama, Meng Bai bought shares in Xiaotangren Culture for two million yuan, which was considered to be a new field of subject matter.
Now that "The Best of Us" has been a great success, not only has the investment paid off, but it also means that Arclight has made new achievements in themes other than suspense.
Since the last time I talked with Liu Jun about "copyright operation", Meng Bai has also collected some novel copyrights through Arclight Culture in the past six months.
Although they are not well-known big IPs, the content quality is not bad, and it is also suitable for film and television adaptation.
The themes and styles of these works are also diverse, including costumes, romance, suspense, urban workplace...
When the production increases in the future, suspense themes can be placed on Arclight Film and Television, and idol dramas, romance dramas, etc. can be handed over to Xiaotangren to shoot.
In this way, different teams focus on different themes, which is not only conducive to occupying market share, but also to deepening the audience's impression and building a brand.
Just like what is common on the Internet, creating an "Arclight system" in the field of online dramas.
