Chapter 96

The adaptation of "Bao Er" is not random. When the original screenwriter was adapting "Bao Er", he had to connect the plot of "Bao Yi" with each other, such as the court struggles, the roles of the Grand Tutor, the Prime Minister, and the Emperor. Because the plot of the TV series was changed to the perspective of Bao Zheng and Zhan Zhao, many fighting and martial arts routines were added to the investigation process.

The case is still the same case, but it seems that it has nothing to do with what they experienced, but it can only be said that it has nothing to do with reality.

They are the investigators of these cases, so they feel that each case is somewhat similar to the unsolved cases of their team. However, the murderers of each case are actually independent. When they see cases that are not related to them, they will not have a sense of déjà vu of "I have seen this case before". Moreover, the process of investigating the case is written from the perspective of the heroine and the captains of the police. It focuses more on the psychological dynamics of the heroine and the captains of the police when they discover clues during the investigation. Unless the murderer happens to see the case that he committed, he basically will not associate it with the real case.

After escaping, most criminals will try to keep a low profile and hide in remote places. Few people will choose to read magazines like "Wuxia". First of all, the word "xia" is contrary to their nature. Even if they accidentally find a copy of "Wuxia", Wuxia is a serialized journal, and they will not follow every issue.

In addition, there are too many elements of people's livelihood and martial arts in the Song Dynasty. Readers who are not in the public security system will feel the same when reading this novel as when reading "Judge Bao", "Lu Xiaofeng" and "Di Renjie". Who will substitute "Lu Xiaofeng", "Judge Bao" and "Di Renjie" into their own real-life cases? At most, they will think that the author is very professional.

After watching two episodes of "Justice Bao", Wu Gongan and his team still felt unsatisfied and couldn't help but take out "The Great Song" to read.

Through the novel "The Great Song", they have solved three cases, and recently they are reading the fourth case.

The fourth case is very interesting. It tells the story that during the investigation, the heroine and his team found that the county magistrate of a certain county had been killed long ago. The current county magistrate turned out to be the murderer who pretended to be the county magistrate, and had been pretending for many years. Because the emperor was far away, the information was transmitted slowly, and no one discovered that the county magistrate was a fake.

The heroine and her companions were tracking a fugitive to the local area. After a series of investigations and fights, they finally discovered the secret of the county magistrate. When the county magistrate's secret was discovered, people would naturally be sent to hunt them down. The heroine and her companions were chased all the way to Kaifeng with this secret and delivered the news to Kaifeng Prefecture.

When Jiang Xi was writing the novel, she was able to write the first few cases according to her original plot, because the plot was something she could control but sometimes not control. The reactions and words of each character, plus she was very busy at a certain time, and it was inevitable that she would get stuck when she was rushing to finish the manuscript. Once she got stuck, the plot would run out of control, and unknowingly, some plots would deviate from her original outline and become completely different from reality. In addition, not every case was adapted from a real case. She would also constantly modify and revise the plot according to the direction of the plot to make it more in line with the logic of the society and the court at that time, so that it had nothing to do with the plot in reality and was adapted beyond recognition.

It is possible that the murderer himself did not know that the case was related to him after reading the book. In fact, the book only writes about the protagonist investigating the case, and too many supporting characters appear in the process of investigating the case. Each supporting character has his own story line, and then there is some underworld affairs mixed in. The murderer himself only appears at the end when the truth is revealed and the murderer is arrested. Because it is a martial arts novel, the murderer is either a gangster or an unexpected person hiding in the city of Kaifeng.

This is not controlled by the author's own will. When Jiang Xi wrote, he wrote whatever came to his mind at the time. He did not have time to revise and correct it later. Each issue was sent out after it was written. When it came to Wang Yong, he would not revise Jiang Xi's manuscript. If he had the ability to revise Jiang Xi's manuscript, he could write it himself. What if he made random changes and his revisions did not match what Jiang Xi wrote later? At most, he would proofread it for typos and punctuation marks.

When Jiang Xi recalled these plots, what he could do next time was to try his best to bring the loosened plots back to the main plot. This way, except for the first three or four cases, Wu Gongan and his colleagues could still look familiar. When they looked at the later cases, they saw such bizarre cases that were completely antique, in line with the characteristics of the Song Dynasty and full of martial arts. Wu Gongan and his colleagues read them with relish, and sometimes they would wonder if they were thinking too much and it was just a coincidence?

But to say it was a complete coincidence, it was too coincidental, right?

He couldn't help but look up to observe his colleagues.

These colleagues, like him, also read the novel with relish. Just from their expressions and usual performances, it is indeed hard to imagine that one of them would be the author of "The Great Song".

When they first read the novel, they were very sure that the author was one of them. But after learning about the magazine "Martial Arts", new doubts arose.

"Martial Arts" is a weekly magazine, that is, it is published every week. After following it for so long and buying every issue, they now understand that the magazine is serialized about 20,000 words a week. These colleagues work outside with him every day in the wind and sun, and sometimes they don't have time to go home until midnight. Where do they get the time to write?

This made him suspicious of the clerical staff in the office. The first person he suspected was Xiao Chen in the archives, the female police officer who bought the "Martial Arts" magazine and placed it on the coffee table in the lobby.

She worked in the archives, so she had plenty of time to write every day. Moreover, as a clerk in their office, she occasionally heard them chatting. When they talked about the case, she heard that she might be able to write such a plot with some clues and imagination.

Even though there were too many illogical places in this guess, he really couldn't think of anyone else.

Jiang Xi and Grandpa Jiang also finished watching "Justice Bao". It was the first time for Grandpa Jiang to watch "Justice Bao" and he still felt unsatisfied.

The Jiang family also had a 14-inch black-and-white TV, which was bought when Jiang's father opened a chicken farm. It was the only one in the village at the time, and it was very impressive. However, Grandpa Jiang lived alone in the mountains. Except for the days when he could go down the mountain to help with the grain harvest, he had to sleep in the rice field at night to watch the rice. The rest of the time he stayed in the mountains to patrol the mountains, so he had no chance to watch TV.

So although the Jiang family had a TV, he had only watched it a few times. Most of the time, he listened to it on the radio.

After watching two episodes of the TV series, Grandpa Jiang couldn't help but ask, "How come it's over so quickly?"

Jiang Xi got up, tucked Grandpa Jiang in, and turned off the TV: "It will be replayed tomorrow morning. If you want to watch it, watch it tomorrow. Now go to bed quickly."

Grandpa Jiang's biological clock is very stable. When he was a forest ranger, he was alone in the mountains and didn't have to patrol the mountains at night. He went to bed very early. This was the first time he watched TV so late. He snored a few minutes after lying down.

Jiang Xi also returned to school.

The curfew of No. 1 Middle School is 7 o'clock. At the beginning, the security guard enforced it strictly. But now, because he is familiar with Jiang Wu, he knows that Jiang Wu's grandfather opened a shop next door. Every time Jiang Wu goes out, she does not go somewhere else, but goes to her grandfather's shop to help him. In addition, Jiang Wu had ranked first in the school before. After the security guard knew that she was the first in the county, he didn't say much about her coming back early or late.

Seeing Jiang Xi coming back so late, the security guard who had just finished watching Justice Bao asked, "Why did you come back so late? You should come back earlier next time, right?" The

security guard was watching it while lying on the bed, and had to get up with his coat on to open the door for Jiang Xi. When Jiang Xi returned to the dormitory, the big iron gate under the dormitory was still open. The big iron gate is locked at 10 o'clock every night.

Director Li was watching Justice Bao at home with his wife. At this time, a group of staff members were also watching in front of the TV at the TV station. After watching the second episode, the editor was very satisfied with his editing and now he was waiting for tomorrow's ratings.

Qin Shumin only realized how hard it is to be an actor after filming the drama. Because they had to rush to release the drama before the release of the hit TV series "Xiang Shuai" which had just finished, they worked overtime every day. Sometimes an actor could only sleep three or four hours a day. When filming the scenes in spring and summer, in order to prevent the heat from coming out of their mouths when they talk, they also had to hold ice cubes or snow in their mouths.

Qin Shumin also had tonsillitis, sore throat, and runny nose, which were some signs of a cold. At this time, she wore a thick military coat and huddled in front of the TV with a group of main creative members, drinking brown sugar ginger tea. After watching two episodes of the TV series, she couldn't stand it anymore and went back to her room and fell asleep.

Before going to bed, she was still thinking that after filming "Bao Er", she no longer wanted to act in movies. Wouldn't it be good to have her own show, be a behind-the-scenes person, or be a host?

It was not until the next morning when she was drowsy that someone gently pushed her awake.

She opened her eyes in a daze: "Is it time to start filming?"

Her assistant brought her a fever-reducing pill: "Sister Minmin, you have a fever, take the medicine quickly."

Qin Shumin is a formal employee of the TV station. Although her two assistants have passed their internship period, they are currently only contract workers and usually call Qin Shumin "sister".

Qin Shumin was so dizzy from the fever that she only remembered to ask after a while: "Have the ratings for the show we aired yesterday come out?"

Director Li was also asking: "How were the ratings yesterday?"

"Director, the ratings last night were as low as 15% and as high as 27%!" The TV station staff were all happy.

This was certainly not comparable to the phenomenal 77% ratings of "The Legend of Marshal Hong" during the winter vacation, but no one could say that the ratings of "Bao Er" were low at the beginning. In fact, when "Judge Bao" was broadcast on their station last year, the highest rating was 51%, which was already a very high rating.

At this time, the ratings of many TV programs were generally maintained below 20%.

The TV series they bought during the winter vacation had the highest ratings, which was when "Justice Bao" had just finished airing. When it was first released, it reached 30% at the beginning, but then it kept declining, and finally it couldn't even maintain 5%. It struggled around 1% every day. Almost all the audience went to watch "The Legend of Marshal Hong" on Apple Satellite TV.

This is also the reason why Director Li was so anxious to shoot the second part of "Justice Bao". From the original highest rating of more than 50%, to not even maintaining 1%, such a gap would make anyone anxious.

Now that "Legend of Hong Kong" has been removed from the screens, even if other TV stations have purchased the copyright to re-air it, the first wave of premieres of "Legend of Hong Kong" was originally premiered at night and re-aired during the day. It has already been re-aired once, and the popularity has passed. Even if other TV stations re-air the old drama later, it is impossible for it to suddenly explode to such a terrifying level of 77% like it did during the winter vacation.

In addition, the TV stations have been preheating the show in prime time for several days, and "Martial Arts" magazine has also been in a slump for several days. The first part of "Justice Bao", which had more than 200 episodes, has really accompanied too many people for too long. This has also led to many viewers still remembering this TV series, which is why it has an initial audience rating of 15%.

The subsequent "Bao Er" was able to create a peak rating of 27%, which shows that it has great potential and momentum. Not only did it not decline, but it actually rose.

Of course, this must be due to the old audiences who stayed before "Bao Yi", which also shows that "Bao Er" is indeed well made.

From 15% to 27%, although it still did not reach last year's exaggerated 51%, it was much better than the 1% during the winter vacation.

Director Li finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Continue to observe tomorrow's ratings."

Some TV series peak at the beginning, such as the drama they aired during the winter vacation last year, but some dramas have a lower opening, but the momentum is getting stronger and stronger. They are not sure what kind of "Bao Er" will be now, so they can only say that they will observe slowly.

Qin Shumin also received a call from the TV station. She learned that the TV series' ratings started at 15 and then soared to 27. She finally smiled with relief and fell into a deep sleep again. She slept until 2 pm.

She was away this morning, so her part could not be filmed. The director could only film other actors' parts first and then film her part later.

Different from the reaction of the people watching these TV stations, the readers of "Wu Xia" and "Da Song" who were watching TV couldn't help laughing excitedly after seeing the small words at the beginning of the TV show, "This drama is adapted from the cute work "The Years I Was a Constable in Da Song Dynasty". They pointed at the words on the TV and shouted to their parents: "Mom! Mom! Look, this is the book I read, and it was adapted into "Judge Bao"! I said that "Judge Bao" was adapted from the novel I read, right? Look, look, and you still accuse me of reading idle books every day!"

Such scenes happen in many families. Many parents don't They are readers of "Wuxia" and "Da Song", but they are viewers of "Judge Bao". When they saw the small line of words in the opening of "Judge Bao", they nodded and said, "Let me have a look at your book."

Li Ang and Wang Yong from the magazine have also finished watching the first two episodes of "Judge Bao". Z Province TV Station is a satellite TV station. Even if they are far away in Tianjin and Guangzhou, they can watch Z Province TV Station. Except for the rural areas below that are still using the most primitive antennas to search for channels, the televisions in the towns have all been replaced with digital antennas this year, which can search for more channels, even channels in Hong Kong Island and the Bay Islands.

The impact of the recently released "Bao Er" on the sales of the physical books of "Wu Xia" and "Da Song" has not yet been seen, so they can only wait and see the market situation in the future.

Li Ang also talked to Editor-in-Chief Bao in Guangzhou and decided to increase the first print run next time depending on the situation.

Early on Sunday morning, Tong Jingang came to Grandpa Jiang's shop and asked Grandpa Jiang: "Grandpa Jiang, how is the TV? Is it still watchable? Did you watch "Judge Bao" last night?"

Tong Jingang is also a reader of "Wu Xia". He not only reads "Da Song", but also other works serialized in "Wu Xia". His favorite is not even "Da Song", but martial arts novels written from a male perspective. However, due to his tight schoolwork, he reads relatively few of them. He knew that the second part of "Justice Bao" was broadcast last night because of the two "Wuxia" promotional posters posted on the door of the grocery store at the school gate. The posters said that "Judge Bao", adapted from "Song Dynasty", a work serialized by "Wuxia" magazine, was released yesterday. The words were so big that he could see them every morning and evening. It was also because of this that he moved the idle TV in his room to Grandpa Jiang after school yesterday.

There were no classes this morning, and he had nothing to do at home, so he ran to Grandpa Jiang's shop early in the morning. Jiang Xi was concentrating on typing, and Tong Jingang sat and chatted with Grandpa Jiang. Grandpa Jiang, who was not a talkative person, was excited by Tong Jingang and talked about "Judge Bao" he watched last night. Jiang

Xi heard their conversation and turned around and said, "It will be replayed at 9 o'clock this morning!" Then he turned around and continued typing.

Soon Jiang Bai got breakfast in the cafeteria, and several people ate breakfast while waiting to watch the replay of "Bao Er". There

were also many people who didn't see "Bao Er" last night because they had something to do, and some who missed it because they didn't know that "Bao Er" was released. They were waiting in front of the TV on Sunday morning, waiting for the replay this morning.

While they were waiting, Jiang Bai was not idle. He cleaned the bathroom inside and out and started ironing clothes.

He had no interest in watching TV series. His only interest was making money.

He usually came to the store to help whenever he had time, and he hardly wasted any time. The little he did was not worthy of the high salary his sister paid him every month, so he just hoped to do more, more!

When it was past eight o'clock and customers came in one after another, Tong Jingang was talking to Grandpa Jiang, Jiang Xi was concentrating on typing, and Jiang Bai was working.

It was not until nine o'clock that the replay started and Jiang Xi had finished typing. Several people all stayed in front of the TV to watch TV, and only Jiang Bai was busy.

When the customers came in and found that the store was showing "Justice Bao", they did not leave. There were no stools, so they stood or sat on Grandpa Jiang's bed. After a while, there were five or six customers standing in the back to watch.

Grandpa Jiang was not a germaphobe and did not mind. On the contrary, because they were all customers, he warmly invited them to sit down and pulled the bed a little further away, so that Tong Jingang and Jiang Xi could sit inside and the customers could sit outside.

Jiang Xi had already watched the show last night and did not want to watch it again, so he went outside to iron clothes with Jiang Bo.

Some customers felt embarrassed to only watch TV without buying clothes, so they quickly bought a piece of clothing and then went inside to watch.

People passing by outside saw that other shops were deserted, but this shop was particularly crowded, so they curiously poked their heads in to look. They first looked at the clothes, then found that they were all watching TV series inside, and then more and more people squeezed in, and Grandpa Jiang's bed was full of people.

The boss lady who sold chicken cakes was curious about what happened. After knowing that the neighbor was playing "Judge Bao", she rolled her eyes and went home, moved the TV out, put it at the door, pulled up the antenna, and sat at the door to play "Judge Bao". After a while, the customers who were crowded in Jiang's shop found that the neighbor's boss lady's house was also playing "Judge Bao", bought two yuan of chicken cakes, and sat on the long bench specially prepared by the boss lady for them to watch TV.

Soon, the TVs in every household on the street were playing "Justice Bao".

Some shops were small, and there was no room for a few customers to stand inside. Some simply moved the TV to the lobby and played the TV show there to attract customers.

Most of the people who were attracted by the TV and couldn't move away were students from No. 1 Middle School and Wu Middle School. They didn't have classes on Sundays, especially the senior high school students, who only had half a day off. Now the social atmosphere was chaotic, and they didn't dare to wander around other places. They just walked around the streets near the school and then stayed to watch TV.

Except for some locals who were particularly stingy and wanted to save electricity, they would watch TV in other people's homes. Generally, they would go back to their own homes to watch TV.

After finally finishing the two episodes in the morning, someone soon noticed: "Hey! It's adapted from "I'm a Constable in the Song Dynasty"!"

"What "I'm a Constable in the Song Dynasty"?" The students of Wuzhong No. 1 Middle School are all focused on studying. No matter how high the first print run of "Martial Arts" is, it's only two or three million. Many people have never seen "Martial Arts" and don't know about "The Song Dynasty".

"That's the one. There's a poster on the wall of the bookstore next to our school. The one with the male lead Zhan Zhao! It's so good!" The students who have seen "The Song Dynasty" recommended it.

If you were to ask where there are the most bookstores, it would definitely be near the school. There are several bookstores on this street. Some of them are not orthodox bookstores like Xinhua Bookstore, but some small shops that also sell magazines and reference books. After watching the first and second episodes of "Justice Bao", they were still not satisfied. In the evening, they had to attend evening self-study and could not watch the two episodes. So they went to find the "Martial Arts" magazine that their classmates mentioned. While reading the magazine, they found that there were actually physical copies of "The Song Dynasty" for sale.

The New Year had just passed, and every student still had a lot of money. Girls who could afford to buy miscellaneous books would buy a physical copy of "The Song Dynasty" from the bookstore at the school gate. If they didn't have much money, they would buy the first volume and I would buy the second volume, and then we would exchange them.

Some people didn't have no money to buy extracurricular books, but they couldn't bear to buy books, so they went to the nearby rental bookstore and asked if they had any rental books. Sure enough, there were.

Not only physical books, but also magazines.

Previously, "Wu Xia" was selling very well, and the physical book of "Da Song" was also selling very well. Many people stopped reading the magazines after finishing them, so the book renters went to buy them. They bought a lot of Wu Xia magazines at low prices and put them in a row on the bookshelf, from the first issue of last year to the last issue of this year, arranged in time, and there was not enough space to put them in a long grid. There was also a pile of books underneath, so that the book renters could find them by themselves.

In the evening, more audiences waited in front of the TV, waiting for the release of "Bao Er".

It must be said that Director Li was very good at seizing the opportunity.

He did not release "Bao Er" right after "Legend of Hong Kong" was taken off the screen. Instead, he waited for a few days after the popularity of "Hong Kong" cooled down, and the audience was in a window period after watching a TV series. When they had nothing to watch and were still reminiscing about "Hong Kong", he hiccuped.

After a few days of hiccups, the audience's appetite was whetted. After the popularity of "Hong Kong" cooled down again, "Bao Er" was released this Saturday, which attracted a large number of the original "Hong Kong" audience to "Bao Er". On Sunday night, the audience who had no good TV series to watch were attracted by "Bao Er" again.

On Sunday, Director Li and the TV station staff were all in the station. As soon as the morning replay was over, the staff quickly came up to report the replay ratings.

The staff couldn't hide their joy: "The lowest rating in the morning was 10%, and the highest rating was 23%!"

It's no wonder that the staff were so happy that the replay had such ratings.

Generally speaking, the ratings of replays are lower than those of the first broadcast, but their replay ratings are not much lower than the first broadcast.

For example, the drama they aired during the winter vacation had a highest rating of more than 30% for the first broadcast, but only a few% for the replay, which was really a cliff-like drop.

The replay has such ratings, which means that after the third and fourth episodes are broadcast tonight, the ratings should not drop too much, or they can stabilize the current ratings.

After the ratings of the show were reduced to only 1% during the winter vacation due to "Hong Shuai", all the staff of Z Provincial TV Station are very satisfied to be able to maintain the current ratings.

Especially, this is their first original drama.

There are many TV stations producing original dramas now, but few of them are really popular, such as "Desire" and "Editor's Office Story" a few years ago, "Beijing People in New York" the year before last, the Shanghai dialect original drama that was very popular on Shanghai TV last year, and another original drama that was very popular on another TV station, but if you count carefully, the ones that can be called explosive hits can be counted on two hands.

Although their Z Province TV station was also working on its own drama, they had no reliable directors and insufficient funds. It was not easy to become famous and achieve results in the first episode, so Director Li chose again and again in the selection of the first self-made drama. It was also by chance that when their station didn't know what to shoot, "The Great Song" just started serialization, and it happened to be seen by Qin Shumin of their station, who recommended "The Great Song" to him.

It just so happened that at the end of this year, the phenomenal hit drama "Xiang Shuai" came out, forcing him to make a quick decision, and that's when he chose "Bao Er".

Director Li didn't go back in the afternoon. He sat in the screening room with the staff and watched all three or four episodes. When the three or four episodes were broadcast in the evening, they were already at home.

Even though they had watched it once at noon, when they watched it again at night, Director Li and his friends still enjoyed it. The original work was well written, the script was well adapted, the actors performed well, the director filmed well, and the editing was good!

Director Li asked his wife what she thought of the filming of "Bao Er" and whether it was good.

Director Li's wife looked at his head, which was almost bald due to anxiety, and nodded with a smile and said, "Not bad, it's pretty good." She pointed at the female lead on TV and said, "Is this girl from your station? She looks so good, why didn't you arrange her to be a host before?"

Provincial stations are different from local stations. The relationships are complicated. It is impossible for a newcomer like Qin Shumin with no background to have her own program in a place like a provincial station.

There are so many seniors waiting in front of her. How could it be her turn?

If it weren’t for the fact that she recommended the book “The Great Song”, and she signed a contract with the author of “The Great Song”, and she had read “The Great Song” and understood “The Great Song”, and the chief editor happened to receive a task from the higher-ups and had no time to write the script for “The Great Song”, plus she was sweet and pretty, and Director Li wanted to train her, and other people related to her already had their own programs and couldn’t leave, it wouldn’t have been Qin Shumin’s turn at all.

This is also the reason why Qin Shumin worked so hard, she had a fever and was sick, she only rested for one morning, and started to work again in the afternoon, and continued filming, but she didn’t stay up late at night like others, she took medicine and fell asleep, and the script was temporarily handed over to two assistants to write the script.

She was young and could handle it. She slept soundly and felt much better. After putting on makeup, her sick look was not obvious. She started filming overtime again.

On Monday, the ratings for the third and fourth episodes of Da Song came out.

The lowest was 24%, and the highest was 36%!

The office was filled with joy!

Director Li also waved his fist in excitement. The third and fourth episodes were stable, and the rest would basically be stable. Director

Li wanted to continue broadcasting the show in two episodes at a time. Unfortunately, after the editors had been editing day and night for the past few days, there were only more than 20 episodes in stock. One episode a day was barely enough, but if they broadcast two episodes a day, the filming crew would not be able to catch up.

Several screenwriters have been working overtime to write the script. Qin Shumin's two assistants and the assistant to the chief screenwriter have also joined in the creation and rushed out the subsequent scripts. In terms of filming, they can also shoot different plots repeatedly in one scene. The filming speed is also accelerating, but it is still impossible to achieve two episodes a day. This is an impossible task.

Director Li can only reluctantly broadcast only one episode at 8 o'clock on weekdays, and then wait anxiously for the ratings on Monday.

Under the guidance of Jiang Xi and Tong Jingang, Grandpa Jiang can now fiddle with the TV by himself. After Jiang Xi and Jiang Bai returned to school for evening self-study, Grandpa Jiang turned on the Z Provincial TV station by himself and watched TV in bed.

After watching one episode, Grandpa Jiang thought there was another one, so he kept waiting. This was the time for his biological clock to sleep, but before he could wait for a while, Grandpa Jiang fell asleep. In the middle of the night, he was suddenly awakened by music. He saw a big ball on the TV. With the music that the program had ended, Grandpa Jiang got up, turned off the TV, and went back to sleep.

He went to bed early and woke up early in the morning. At five o'clock, when it was still light, he woke up, opened the rolling shutter, brushed his teeth, washed his face, and then imitated his grandson to iron his clothes.

At seven o'clock, Jiang Xi came to bring him breakfast. After breakfast, there was no business, so he continued to sit in front of the TV, waiting to watch "Judge Bao".

He thought he had fallen asleep last night and missed the last episode of Justice Bao, but today there was only one episode.

Many viewers also thought the TV station had made a mistake. Why were there two episodes a day in the previous two days, but only one episode yesterday? So they called the TV station to ask, but the staff of the TV station said, "It's not a mistake. Two episodes will only be broadcast on weekends, and only one episode on weekdays."

Many viewers were so angry that they cursed: "Can't we afford that little electricity bill?"

"Last year there were two episodes a day, why is there only one episode this year?"

"I was just getting into it, and it's gone! Is this how you TV people do things?" They

directly called the TV station's audience hotline.

The more the audience cursed, the happier Director Li was.

The ratings on Monday dropped slightly compared to Saturday and Sunday, but Director Lee had expected this drop, because junior and senior high school students watched less. This part of the student party audience has to go to class during the day and have evening self-study at night. Only elementary school students can watch one episode after finishing their homework. It

can be said that airing one episode on weekdays is very friendly to both working party members and elementary school students who have to go to school. They can just go to bed after watching it, but it is not friendly to many idle people who do not need to go to work.

In the TV department, after a winter break, the TV partners who had cooperated with them finally returned to their Z Provincial TV station from Apple TV after seeing the new "Justice Bao 2". They called one after another to reserve their prime time TV program in the evening. Director Li was so happy that the few strands of hair on his head were finally saved.

At the same time, after a few days of the release of "Justice Bao 2", the impact on the publication of "Da Song" books finally began to show.

In the first two days, this influence was not obvious. Although the beginning and end of the TV series's program said that the TV series was adapted from "The Great Song Dynasty", the words were small and few viewers would pay attention to this line. But after watching it for a few days, some viewers began to notice this line. Some people complained that the TV series was broadcast too slowly, with only one episode a day, and they couldn't wait to buy the book.

As I watched, I found that, huh? The book and the TV series are a little different?

The protagonists of the TV series are Bao Zheng, Zhan Zhao and the heroine, but the book is written directly from the perspective of the heroine. They thought Zhan Zhao would appear soon. When they almost finished reading the book, they suddenly realized, "Huh? Where is Zhan Zhao? Where did Zhan Zhao go?"

No matter, the book is also very interesting.

They have nothing to do, so they read books during the day and watch TV series at night. They completely treat the book and TV series as two works.

Wu Gongan and his friends are not so busy these days, and they still have time to watch an episode of TV series at night. He is currently watching the fourth case of "The Great Song Dynasty". The plot of "The Great Song Dynasty" has nothing to do with reality up to this point. It seems that you can't substitute it into reality at all. It can be said that it is completely separated from reality.

Because it was a case of fake county orders, he couldn't think about reality at all. Whether it was the names of the characters or the names of the places in the book, they were all pseudonyms. The names were quite fancy and difficult to pronounce, with some meanings of Ximen Chuxue and Sikong Zhaixing. How could there be someone with such a name in real life? There was no such place at all.
