Chapter 988 Where is my Italian cannon?
How should I describe this result? It is both reasonable and unexpected.
There is a saying in the current film and television circles that Lin Fan's works are always of high quality.
This statement is actually quite low-key and implicit. In fact, as soon as Lin Fan's TV series or movies appear on the screen, they are guaranteed to be the ratings champion.
TV series of the same period, no matter if they were big productions, or had a stellar cast, or were the product of years of hard work...without exception, they would always be defeated by Lin Fan.
At first, everyone didn't believe it. They just thought that Lin Fan was just lucky, and his film and television dramas just happened to suit the tastes of the audience at the time, or that none of his other TV dramas could compare. In short, they refused to admit that Lin Fan was excellent.
But as Lin Fan's successes increased, and he won every time without a single defeat, everyone had to admit that some people were able to create miracles time and time again.
Just like the movie "Drawing Sword".
A film without any big names, without any popular young actors, without all the routines and plots that young people love to watch, but only with real and cruel war, faith mixed with blood and tears, and hope that is slim but never disappears.
This is a film that has no absolute protagonist and strives to show the brilliance of everyone. Even the minor characters who got their lunch boxes shortly after their appearance left a deep impression on the audience.
This film is so plain and down-to-earth in both characters and language, restoring the cruelty of real war, while also portraying the friendship between people established in the war, which is so indestructible.
At first glance, "Drawing Sword" seems to be full of shortcomings, but upon closer inspection, the audience will find that those shortcomings are simply due to their own lack of deep understanding.
When the audience truly understood the spirit that "Drawing Sword" wanted to convey, they realized how much effort Lin Fan had put into this TV series.
And Lin Fan also received the greatest enthusiasm that the audience could give back.
On the first day of the broadcast of "Drawing Sword", the ratings reached 2.5%.
On the second day of the broadcast of "Drawing Sword", the ratings reached 2.71%.
On the third day of its broadcast, "Drawing Sword" had a viewership rating of 2.82%.
The next day, uh, another TV series was broadcast during the weekend prime time, and the audience was extremely disappointed, so much so that the ratings for the weekend slot, which was originally quite popular with the audience, plummeted and fell below 1% to only 0.726%.
It's not even a fraction of "Drawing Sword".
Seeing such a result, Shanghai TV didn’t know whether to be happy or sad.
After all, they were the ones who caused this result. It seemed inappropriate whether they were happy or sad, so Shanghai TV could only swallow the bitter fruit of their own making with tears.
However, after the bitter experience, Shanghai TV welcomed another surprise! After the weekend, the prime time show "Drawing Sword" continued to be broadcast on Monday. This time, the audience waited for two days and accumulated all their enthusiasm for this moment, just waiting for "Drawing Sword" to be broadcast, and then they released it directly.
In short, the ratings of "Drawing Sword" on that day directly exceeded 3%!
The people at Shanghai Satellite TV went crazy! "It's over 3! 'Drawing Sword' has broken 3! It's only been a few episodes, and it's already broken 3. Doesn't that mean we've already secured this year's ratings champion?"
"If this result isn't the ratings champion, then who is? The most popular TV series on the next channel is almost coming to an end, and the ratings are only 2.43%. It can't even reach the ratings of our first day of "Drawing Sword". There's no way they can compete with us!"
"I dare say that as long as Brother Fan doesn't shoot any more TV series this year, the ratings champion, the drama king, will belong to us, to 'Drawing Sword'! But will Brother Fan shoot a TV series this year? Absolutely not!"
…
It’s not just about being the ratings champion and the drama king, more importantly, this positioning adjustment by Shanghai TV was a complete success!
This is what makes the top executives of Shanghai TV happiest!
You have to know how difficult and dangerous it is for a TV station to make any changes once it has already been established.
If you are not careful, you may lose a large number of viewers, which you will have to save no matter how hard you try. In serious cases, the positioning of the entire station may be irreversibly shifted.
These losses are invisible, but also fatal.
The more Shanghai TV looks forward to the drama "Drawing Sword", the higher the danger they face and the more serious the consequences of failure they have to bear.
Fortunately, in the end, Shanghai TV made the right bet and won the battle between itself and itself.
The reputation of "Drawing Sword" has also aroused widespread thinking and discussion among the audience as more and more episodes have been aired.
Someone even started a topic activity online called "One sentence to prove that you have watched "Drawing Sword"". The audience participated enthusiastically and soon a large number of discussion groups were built under the topic.
[The King asked me to patrol the mountains: I'll say the first sentence, where is my Italian cannon? ]
[Hands shaking, people being cowardly, guns being unsteady: The most impressive scene is when the cavalry company of the independent regiment was left with only the company commander Sun Desheng after a fierce battle with the enemy. Facing the enemy troops who were several times larger than himself, Sun wiped the blood off the blade with his military cap, and then charged into the enemy group again without fear. Even with a broken arm, he still raised his sword and shouted loudly, "Cavalry company, charge!"]
[The wind blows the hair off the crotch: Li Yunlong, go ahead and fire your gun. I am yours in life and your ghost in death!]
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
[Night in the Kingdom of Daughters: Second Battalion Commander, where is your Italian artillery? ]
[If you take a big step, you will inevitably break your balls: The above person repeated it, I will say it again, a wolf travels a thousand miles to eat meat, a dog travels a thousand miles to eat shit! ]
[The Naihe Bridge was forcibly demolished: Monk, monk, go and kill me... Woohoo, my heart aches when I think of the monk, Brother Fan, how could you write the monk to death? Resurrect the monk! ]
…
Wang Xiuying even called Yang Hongxia to express her gratitude. She didn't call Lin Fan because she couldn't get through. Wang Xiuying guessed that Lin Fan was probably on the set of his new movie. So when she couldn't get through to Lin Fan, she chose to call Yang Hongxia.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Yang. This "Drawing Sword" really solved a very big problem for our station!"
Yang Hongxia spoke politely: "We are all family, so let's not talk behind each other's back. Besides, it's not like we don't have any benefits. The ratings of "Drawing Sword" are so high, and we have reaped a lot of benefits in the future!"
Wang Xiuying smiled and said, "Then I won't be polite to Mr. Yang. I'm thinking of inviting Mr. Yang and Director Lin to dinner later so that I can thank you in person!"
By the way, let’s see if there is any chance for us to work together again.
Yang Hongxia knew what Wang Xiuying was up to: "It's not that I don't want to give President Wang this face, it's mainly because Lin Fan has already joined the team, and he's not in the country anymore. I'm afraid he won't be able to travel back and forth in the short term. But I will help President Wang convey your intention."
As for whether Lin Fan could receive it, that depended on fate.
After all, Lin Fan doesn't even answer Yang Hongxia's calls now, and Yang Hongxia has to go through Xia Shaozhang if she has something to say.
Wang Xiuying felt sorry, but she didn't insist: "Is that so? Then let's make an appointment next time if we have the chance."
“There’s a chance.”
