Chapter 120 The Code of Wealth
For any web drama that is filmed and broadcast at the same time, the main creators are actually very concerned about the data of the drama, and of course there are also suggestions from paying viewers.
At the beginning, after "The Twins" was aired, its data was actually very pitiful because it was impacted by the huge success "Song in the Wind".
This made the originally confident director Yang Hansong feel very nervous, thinking that the show might fail.
This time, the luck was so bad that at the same time, they encountered a strong opponent called "Song in the Wind".
However, when the plot about Zhong Shenxiu played by Gu Qingge appeared, the data of "The Twins of the Immortal World" changed immediately!
This change is, of course, a good one. The number of viewers has increased a lot, and even the number of comments has increased a lot.
At the beginning, of course, the barrage of comments was full of "fans" complaining about the mask on Gu Qingge's face, which hindered them from appreciating her stunning beauty.
"Director, you're bullshit! My Gu Gu is so beautiful, and you're putting a mask on her."
"I came here to see the talented lady Gu's stunning ancient costume, and you're doing this to me!"
"Give the cameraman a thumbs up. At least he knew to shoot the beautiful legs from the bottom up, which slightly makes up for the regret that the face is covered by the mask."
"Her legs are indeed good, and they even designed black stockings to highlight her beautiful legs. Isn't this more exciting than Boruto?"
"Whenever you take off the mask, I'll subscribe to that episode, otherwise I'll get it for free!"
“That’s it, that’s it, that’s it, that’s it?”
…
That’s right, many of Gu Qingge’s “fans”, whether they are fanatical or Buddhist, come to watch this work not to watch its plot, but to see Gu Qingge as a person.
In a sense, Gu Qingge can be regarded as the "traffic leader" of this drama, shouldering the responsibility of attracting the public to try to watch this work.
Logically speaking, this kind of "traffic leader" should have no acting skills and be waiting for other actors with good acting skills to replace her.
But who knew that as Gu Qingge was acting, she found out that no one could control her at all. She originally wanted to be a nobody and take a break, but in the end she found out that she was the boss.
It's not just Gu Qingge's die-hard fans, there are also passers-by who simply appreciate her music, or know that she has a great appearance and figure. They also click on this drama to watch because they are curious about how she will perform in her first filming.
They endured the previous mediocre and smooth plot and finally saw the role played by Gu Qingge.
Perhaps because their expectations were not very high, Gu Qingge's performance naturally surprised them!
As a result, they chased after it happily...
But soon, they discovered that Gu Qingge didn't have many scenes in the early stage. She felt like a background character, and the main scenes were still concentrated on the two male protagonists.
Don't underestimate the audience's judgment of the actors' acting skills. They obviously prefer to watch the performance of Gu Qingge, who is full of acting and her eye acting is superb. It is obvious that her acting is very realistic and does not make people feel out of place at all.
All in all, Gu Qingge's acting is really layered, as if she has completely grasped the character of "Zhong Shenxiu", so much so that many "fans" forget that she is Gu Qingge while watching.
There are some actors in this world who feel like they are themselves no matter what role they play, but there are some actors who act like whatever role they play.
Gu Qingge is obviously the latter type. In the future, she may not only be nicknamed "Queen of Electric Eyes", but also "Queen of a Thousand Faces".
As more episodes came online, the creative staff of "The Twins of the Immortal World" soon discovered a fact that left them speechless.
That is, after this drama is put on the shelves and charged, the episode in which Gu Qingge has more scenes will have a higher payment rate!
And there was an episode where Gu Qingge had no scenes at all, and as a result, the pay-per-view rate for that episode was directly at the bottom...
Anyway, paying users of the "Fenai" video website can see the comments under the video before subscribing to this episode.
The hot comments under the videos that don’t have Gu Qingge’s scenes in this episode are all like this:
"I absolutely do not recommend other users to subscribe to this episode. Without Xiu'er's role, it is completely soulless!"
"I didn't read the comments section before subscribing, and I immediately regretted it after. Who the hell wants to watch these two male protagonists interacting? No one really likes to watch gay sex, right? No way, no way?"
"I'm annoyed by the heroine's stiff, plastic surgery face, and her eyes are so dull. I really don't know why this kind of heroine is set to be extremely intelligent. It feels like she has an IQ of around 60, and she's showing off her superiority in front of the hero who has an IQ of around 40. All in all, it's so awkward!"
"I strongly suggest that this drama focus entirely on Zhong Shenxiu, the ruthless character who is the soul of the performance. She is the eternal god!"
"The filming and broadcasting model is great, and it's great to see everyone's suggestions. I hope the crew won't let us down."
…
One good thing about director Yang Hansong is that he is not stubborn and will not go against the audience's taste.
The "love triangle" in his play is a non-traditional love triangle, and it also adds elements of danmei to keep up with the trend.
However, the effect was not very good. There were indeed many fujoshi who were attracted by this drama, but soon they were too lazy to imagine the gay relationship between the two male protagonists, and were completely conquered by the charm of the character Zhong Shenxiu.
Compared to the role of Zhong Shenxiu played by Gu Qingge, the other characters in the play naturally pale in comparison.
Yang Hansong, who is not stubborn, discovered the wealth code and ratings code of his drama, and then decisively edited the next online content according to the audience's suggestions.
The roles of the male and female protagonists are slightly moved to the side, and they are directly transformed into tools to thread the needle, which is equivalent to the "I" in some stories, such as Watson to Holmes.
As for continuing to portray the brotherhood between the two male protagonists in detail?
Or should we let the "intelligent" heroine show off her intelligence and act cool?
Of course that doesn’t exist!
When they are unable to gain the audience's favor and make the audience pay for them, it also means that their importance has been infinitely reduced in Yang Hansong's mind.
The drama that is filmed and broadcast at the same time is so real. For online dramas like this that are purely made for the audience's entertainment, the most important thing is its revenue.
The actors who participated in the performance did not dare to have any objection to this rule.
This is also why many big names don't shoot this kind of drama that is filmed and broadcast at the same time, as it is too embarrassing. However, they like to express to the outside world that they look down on this kind of online drama that has no artistic quality and is completely money-oriented.
This kind of subscription-based online drama should be left to new actors to prove their appeal.
After the crew of "The Twins" decisively changed their focus, the entire crew actually filmed more smoothly. This was because the core cast, Gu Qingge, had super stable acting skills and condition. She never had a bad moment!
As for "Zhong Shenxiu", there is actually a side storyline with a lot of scenes. Originally, the crew only planned to shoot it roughly, but now of course they will shoot it in detail!
This is a plan that has been made long ago, and the code to wealth must be grasped!
The moment Zhong Shenxiu took off his mask, memories began to unfold.
Her original name was Zhong Yuyan, and she had an older brother named Zhong Fan.
