Chapter 205: Fighting back, don’t accuse others
At 12 noon on July 11, the first episode of "The Bad Kids" received over 100 million views.
This is an incredible achievement.
At the same time, such results have dispelled all doubts.
Over 100 million!
It took just 16 hours for a web drama to reach over 100 million viewers on its first broadcast. What’s more important is that the first broadcast was exclusive to Xiaoma Video.
This is really the mother in my heart.
Many people in the industry are going crazy with envy.
I am really envious and jealous.
Even some people who originally thought that "The Bad Kids" would perform well were finding it a little unbelievable at this time.
This result is unbelievable.
Xiaoma Video had already released the prepared celebration poster.
Their official V couldn’t wait to announce it.
At the same time, major media outlets also reported on it.
"The hits on The Bad Kids exceeded 100 million within 16 hours of its launch. The spring of crime dramas is coming again."
"The Bad Kids" received over 100 million hits within 16 hours of its launch. Who says crime dramas are no longer popular??"
"The hits on 'The Hidden Corner' exceeded 100 million within 16 hours of its launch, setting a new record for Xiaoma Video."
…
Of course, major entertainment media would not report it for no reason.
On the one hand, the online drama "The Hidden Corner" is indeed worthy of good coverage.
On the other hand, these media did not forget to fan the flames when reporting.
That's right.
It's just fanning the flames.
After all, criminal investigation dramas were no longer popular before.
What is the result? ?
What's wrong with this crime drama?
This is obviously a big explosion.
Now it seems that it’s not that criminal investigation dramas are not good, but rather it’s you who are not good.
The current "Hidden Murderer" is currently on the air, but although the first broadcast was good, the reputation of "Hidden Murderer" fell to the bottom. Not only did the reputation fall to the bottom, but even the number of playback clicks was cut in half.
Even Luo Yuan shouted out that this audience was not good enough.
Luo Yuan, a platinum screenwriter, obviously did not realize his mistake, or he did not think he was wrong.
After all, Luo Yuan thinks that the market and the audience are not good enough, but I am sure it will work.
So, what does Luo Yuan, the popular character in the first episode of "The Hidden Corner", have to say?
Of course, Luo Yuan didn't say anything, but Luo Yuan's good friend, the equally famous screenwriter Wang Jin, said, "It's really funny. A drama with a niche theme just got a few hits, and you want to drag down the predecessors? I hope some people will stop. Your so-called popular drama ratings haven't been announced yet, and if you are really confident in your web drama, then why only broadcast one episode at the beginning?"
Who is this Wang Jin? ?
Wang Jin is a great screenwriter, but he hasn't written a work for 7 years. His last work was "Old Li's Family Affairs" 7 years ago. Of course, the reputation of this work was really terrible.
However, Wang Jin has been appearing in various variety shows in the past seven years, giving advice on this and that. In addition, he dares to speak out and criticize, so he is a hot topic. Therefore, many programs also want to invite him.
What is more important?
Wang Jin is quite smart, he always stands on a moral high ground, so even though he has criticized in various ways over the years, he has never failed.
For example, if a popular artist has poor acting skills, he will criticize the artist's acting skills.
For example, if a certain actor is greedy for money and unprofessional, he will criticize the actor for destroying the market.
But what about Wang Jin himself? ?
In fact, he himself is also a scumbag. His original script was full of flaws. Although there were no so-called traffic artists at that time, the artists he used were not that good either.
Not only that, he is not very professional when recording variety shows.
In fact, Wang Jin has also gained a group of crazy fans in the past 7 years thanks to his big-trolling nature.
If you want to say, what is the difference between this and a traffic artist? ?
In the past, Wang Jin had always criticized certain things, but this time, no one expected that he would criticize Yu Xiaoshu.
But what is a brain-dead fan? ?
Brainless fans are those who can always find reasonable reasons no matter what the real person says.
"Oh my god, Lao Wang sprayed again."
"That's normal. I told you that Lao Wang would definitely not be absent."
“Hahaha, I don’t think The Bad Kids is good at all. It’s over-hyped.”
"Xiao Ma Video spent so much money on this, it's obviously fake."
"I have never liked Yu Xiaoshu. It's simply because Yu Xiaoshu is so damn pretentious."
…
All of Wang Jin's crazy fans are on Wang Jin's side.
As I said before, there are many people who slander Yu Xiaoshu. After all, Yu Xiaoshu has too many enemies.
What is another more important reason?
It’s just that Yu Xiaoshu is too outstanding.
How can it be possible that everyone else failed and you suddenly succeeded?
The market for criminal investigation dramas was originally not good, but you, Yu Xiaoshu, made the market popular with your drama "The Undocumented Crime". Then, everyone followed suit and the market flopped again.
Of course, even the platinum screenwriter Luo Yuan has failed, so it is understandable that the rest of us have failed as well.
Finally, everyone thinks that the crime drama market is not good, not us.
Results of MMP.
Your movie "The Bad Kids" was not only a huge hit, but it also set many records.
Tell me, how the hell are you going to let us losers live? ?
Therefore, Wang Jin's criticism can be said to be just right, because he just perfectly fits the ideas of some other losers.
That is, the huge success of "The Bad Kids" is unreasonable.
This drama is bound to flop.
The points that Wang Jin criticized were exactly the points that others wanted to criticize.
Why only release one episode?
That's obviously because of a lack of confidence, and they're worried that the show will flop if too many episodes are released.
kindness.
This reason is still reasonable.
Not only Wang Jin thinks so, but screenwriters such as Yuan Ping and Niu Yu who are friends with Wang Jin also think so.
Yuan Ping said it more bluntly: "I would like to ask everyone not to judge a hero by his short-lived success. A good drama must stand the test of time. I don't think "Hidden Murderer" is that bad. At the same time, those who pull down this web drama are also quite despicable."
Just after Yuan Ping finished speaking, Niu Yu forwarded the message: "Old Yuan, why don't you just say "The Hidden Corner" directly?"
kindness.
This is basically how the screenwriter circle sticks together.
Think about Liu Xiang before, why was she still able to survive so happily after such a failure? ?
No, Liu Xiang was not that bad. Let’s talk about Li Ruhai. Li Ruhai was such a bad loser, but Liu Xiang was still willing to help him.
This is the screenwriting world.
This circle is based on seniority, just like why Yu Xiaoshu was not accepted after he became famous.
Who made Yu Xiaoshu a newcomer?
And young and energetic.
Even Luo Yuan became a little angry with Yu Xiaoshu later on. Just imagine how other people would feel.
kindness.
Very normal.
This time, Luo Yuan's new drama "The Hidden Murderer" was a flop, but Luo Yuan said that it was not the audience that was doing well, while others thought that the market was not doing well.
In short, no one thinks that they are incapable.
This is understandable if you think about it.
As for these old guys, it would be a miracle if they could reflect on themselves.
However, Yu Xiaoshu never expected that these guys would be so stupid.
No.
To be precise, we cannot say that they are stupid. We can only say that they have been in their own circle for too long and have forgotten to interact with the audience and listen more to what the audience thinks.
This is the case with Luo Yuan, and the same is true for several other people whose criminal investigation dramas failed.
However, people like Wang Jin, Yuan Ping and Niu Yu do not think so.
They are simply lying with their eyes open.
Of course, Yu Xiaoshu felt that it was really thanks to them that they jumped out, otherwise the subsequent actions would be difficult to carry out.
Besides, not all netizens are fools.
Many people still support "The Bad Kids".
Dai Rong: "I want to say that anyone who has watched the first episode of "The Bad Kids" would not say that."
Unruly Traveler: "It's so funny. How can Wang Jin have the nerve to talk about "The Bad Kids"? It's so funny."
Codename 7 Night: "Hahaha, seriously, these screenwriters are so damn interesting."
Little Bully's Fourth Sister: "I think these guys will definitely get slapped in the face."
Bing Xiaoge: "I don't know what to say. I'm just waiting to be slapped in the face."
EVFA: "What else can I say?? I can only say that these people are fucking garbage."
…
For a while, many people who supported "The Bad Kids" mocked this wave of group-building.
After all, "The Bad Kids" is so damn good, but why is it said to be a flop? ?
Of course, what is a professional spray king?
That is, they will never admit their mistakes, and they will even specifically look for a point to criticize, and then continue to forward the online explosion.
For example, Wang Jin directly forwarded Bing Xiaoge's message and said, "I don't know what counts as a slap in the face? That's right, I said it, I don't like "The Bad Kids" because this drama is full of malice towards women, because all the female characters in the drama are unlikable, whether it's Zhu Chaoyang's head teacher, Zhu Chaoyang's mother, Zhu Chaoyang's stepmother, Zhang Dongsheng's mother-in-law, or Zhang Dongsheng's wife, so..."
Good job.
It’s no wonder that Wang Jin is a frequent surfer, and his angles are quite tricky.
Moreover, after talking about "The Hidden Corner", this guy started to criticize Bing Xiaoge online because he took screenshots of some of Bing Xiaoge's previous remarks.
kindness.
Those remarks are not very respectful to women.
Good job.
This Wang Jin probably specifically looked for Bing Xiaoge's social platform because it would be easier for him to curse her.
He said directly: "Perhaps only a misogynistic person like Bing Xiaoge would like "The Hidden Corner"."
I have to say that Wang Jin’s rhythm from this angle is pretty awesome.
After he said this, the comments section was almost overwhelmingly in support.
"I support Wang Jin. I was wondering why I disliked The Bad Kids so much. So this is the reason."
"Yes, 'Hidden Angle' makes me feel like a straight man."
"I'm really drunk. What the hell is this? Rubbish "The Bad Kids"."
"Fuck you, you rubbish The Bad Kids."
…
In short, some people were led by Wang Jin to start criticizing "The Bad Kids".
On the other hand, Douhu is currently quite fair and just towards "The Bad Kids".
At the same time, Ji Da started posting again, saying, "Bringing "The Bad Kids" to the topic of gender relations is not stupid, but bad!"
In this post, Ji Da first highly praised "The Hidden Corner".
She thinks that "The Hidden Corner" is worthy of being written by Yu Xiaoshu. Although this web drama only has the first episode, it tells the story slowly.
More importantly, Ji Da believes that Yu Xiaoshu has a talent, which is the talent of storytelling.
Here, Ji Da took "The Hidden Murderer" as an example. She thought that "The Hidden Murderer" thought it was suspenseful, but the rhythm was messed up. Even because the expectations were too high, everyone lost interest in "The Hidden Murderer".
But "The Hidden Corner" is different.
The beginning of the drama tells you that Zhang Dongsheng is the murderer. He pushed his father-in-law and mother-in-law off the cliff, and then slowly tells you how he got to this point.
Do I still have a chance?
When Zhang Dongsheng said this, he had already developed the intention to kill.
If his father-in-law and mother-in-law agreed to him, he would not kill anyone.
But this is exactly the case. I would like to make a prediction here, that is, Zhang Dongsheng may kill his wife next.
Of course, if my guess is wrong, you are welcome to slap me in the face.
What do I want to say? ?
I want to tell you that suspense dramas can also tell stories in a down-to-earth manner. After the first episode of "The Bad Kids", have we lost our expectations because we know that Zhang Dongsheng is the murderer?
No.
On the contrary, we are more excited.
That's the power of storytelling.
