Chapter 401: Public Opinion Backlash, Only 1 Point
"I haven't seen a TV series with such a fast pace for a long time. I unilaterally declare that this is the best TV series I have watched this year, and I will never watch it at double the speed, because if I miss any part, it will feel out of place. More importantly, every actor has really strong acting skills, whether it's the scene with the supervisory team, or the scene with Ma Shuai and Li Chengyang, or He Yong, or even Gao Mingyuan, who seems to be the biggest villain at the moment. In short, every character in the first three episodes looks quite three-dimensional and is not a tool at all."
"Yes, I support this, especially when the supervision team said during the meal that they hope everyone will be at the celebration banquet in a month. I feel that if that's the case, many people probably won't be there. And if there's such collusion between officials and businessmen, the big boss will probably be even bigger."
"I thought so too. Gao Mingyuan is obviously the underground emperor. It is impossible for him to just corrupt Green Vine City. I even suspect that there may be someone in the province who is protecting him."
"Don't doubt it. From my point of view, it's not certain who the biggest tiger is."
…
Obviously, although there are many characters in the first three episodes of "Sweeping Dark Storm", and you can't even tell whether each character is good or bad, the audience is not tired of watching it.
Not tired.
That's right.
This is the strength of the script. It seems that each character appears quite a lot, but from another perspective, each of these characters has his own value.
Tools don't exist.
Oftentimes, there will be some supporting characters in a TV series. These supporting characters exist solely to advance the plot, and sometimes they even do some stupid things to advance the plot, and then they will be scolded by everyone.
This has become a marketing strategy for TV series on Earth.
For example, mistress. Every now and then, a mistress is brought up and many people curse her, and then it becomes a hot topic.
For example, the evil mother-in-law is also something that urban dramas often do, and many urban dramas often like to create some evil mothers-in-law or weird mothers.
By the way, after Fan Shengmei appeared, there were so many women who supported their brothers.
In short, as long as it can be a hot topic, Yu Xiaoshu remembers that in addition to Fan Shengmei, there is another one, Pan Guiyu in "An Jia".
However, because Yu Xiaoshu had never seen "An Jia", he filmed "All Is Well" but not "An Jia".
But Pan Guiyu in "An Jia" is more selfish. She completely treats her daughter as an ATM.
Of course, Yu Xiaoshu really understands Pan Guiyu because the actor who played this role is Teacher Ding Jiali. You should know that Teacher Ding Jiali was quite popular at the time, and she had promoted Brother Lei.
I won’t talk about whether these gossips are true or false, they are not good.
Let’s talk about the TV series "Sweeping Dark Storm" again. This is a drama without any popular artists or young idols. It is a victory for the uncle circle. It can even be said that "Sweeping Dark Storm" really made the uncle circle stand up.
For artistes around 50 years old, it is difficult for them to play some major roles. To be more precise, there is no room for them in the market, and they can only play supporting roles.
To put it bluntly, it’s good to be able to play a supporting role.
You know, some actors don’t even have supporting roles.
Unexpectedly, "Sweeping Dark Storm" actually gathered so many actors from the older generation. The most important thing is that these actors from the older generation all want to show themselves well. To be precise, each of them is holding their breath.
And then, needless to say.
What a great guy.
Everyone was acting very hard during the filming. You have to know that there are very few long lines in the scripts nowadays. It is not like before, when there were many long lines and sometimes one person would have to speak several lines.
But what about now? ?
Nowadays, lines are extremely short. It's not because the screenwriter wants to save time, nor because the screenwriter doesn't want to write long passages of lines. It's because today's actors are lucky enough to remember a passage of lines. Asking them to remember long passages of lines is too difficult.
It is also because of this that in today's market atmosphere, actors are considered professional as long as they speak their original lines.
As I said, since the audience is not picky, why should celebrities work hard?
To do this, celebrities must also become inward-looking.
Only when they start to compete internally can these stars really act well.
Starting with "The Undocumented Crime", Baiqian Media has actually started to involution in the past two years, because they have produced one excellent work after another, and the most important thing is that all of these excellent works have become big hits.
What does this prove??
This proves that the audience has aesthetic taste.
You can always trust the audience.
If you think that the audience is not picky, if you look down on the audience, if what you write is just to fool the audience, if what you shoot is just to fool the audience, then you may be able to make a quick buck, but it will definitely not last long.
For example, those people on Earth were eventually abandoned by the market.
Therefore, the media currently says "Bai Qian's products must be high-quality". Therefore, when Su Dong said that Yu Xiaoshu plagiarized, a lot of people chose to stand on Yu Xiaoshu's side.
The audience's eyes are sharp.
We are not stupid.
Besides, Su Dong’s previous two films, no, almost three films were all flops, so no matter how much Su Dong says about this one, it’s actually useless.
It is common to have similar topics.
It's an exaggeration to say it's plagiarism.
Besides, everyone wants to see what Su Dong’s “Justice” is like.
Then, Li Yuan watched "Justice" and was very disappointed. Li Yuan has an ID on Douhu, and he directly bombarded Su Dong under his ID.
That's an exaggeration.
"Su Dong knew the market so well back then, and he was considered a pioneer at the time. He often said that the most important thing for a TV series is to live up to the audience, that the script is the most important, that a TV series must not use melodramatic love stories to drive the plot, that anti-corruption dramas must not be frivolous, and that..."
Li Yuan was really angry, and because he was angry, what he said was quite sharp.
It’s very simple, he was too disappointed with Su Dong, so he turned from a fan to a hater.
Since I used to be a fan, I know a lot about Su Dong.
Because I used to be a fan, I am so disappointed with Su Dong now.
Someone once accused Su Dong of plagiarism. At that time, Su Dong said that the word "plagiarism" should not be said lightly, because it is the greatest insult to a creator.
What is the result? ?
As a result, Su Dong now accused Yu Xiaoshu of plagiarism without any principles. He didn't even take a look at Yu Xiaoshu's "Sweeping Dark Storm" before he started to accuse him.
Think about it, has Su Dong become the person he hates the most? ?
Just as Su Dong hated others suppressing him in the past, he is now suppressing Yu Xiaoshu in the same way.
If we summarize Su Dong's past quotations, we can see that Su Dong has truly become the person he hates the most.
Actually, if you think about it, this is quite normal.
The dragon-slaying boy eventually turned into a dragon.
This is pretty perennial.
Think about some people on Earth, how high-spirited and rebellious they were at the beginning, but in the end they became the most hated people at the beginning.
This is the current situation in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union.
Take a look at the TV series "Justice". The first three episodes are nothing but nonsense, with no serious plot at all. So, what are you talking about here? ?
That’s not what you, Su Dong, said at the beginning.
If the plot is not good, then it will be fine if the actors' acting skills are good.
As a result, the acting is terrible. The male and female protagonists don’t look like civil servants at all. One looks like a little gangster and the other looks like an internet celebrity.
Are you still watching a ball?
The most important thing is the fear of comparison.
Here, "Justice" looks terrible, while over there, "Sweeping Dark Storm" looks really great.
If you were the audience, whose would you watch?
This is just like online literature, one side is well-written, and the other side is like "All My Exes Are Superstars" which is so mediocre, which one will you support? ?
Readers are like viewers. They may not say anything, but they will vote with their money.
So, within one night, "Justice" was directly scolded and became a hot topic.
Rebounded.
To be precise, it was a backlash from public opinion.
Even Yu Xiaoshu was telling Liu Qianqian not to manipulate public opinion easily. As he said, anyone who tries to manipulate public opinion on the Internet will not end well.
No matter how happily Su Dong danced before, even the publicity team couldn't hold him back. Who would have thought that at this age, Su Dong would not only be so unscrupulous, but also completely unwilling to listen to any advice.
He thought he could manipulate public opinion, and he thought he could win the game if he could seize the commanding heights first.
All I can say is that Su Dong still doesn’t understand the Internet.
In this regard, Su Qing still saw things clearly. She knew from the beginning that her father would definitely suffer backlash from public opinion.
For older generation directors like Su Dong, they have long lost their ability to use the current Internet. It can even be said that they do not understand what public opinion is at all.
As a result, Su Dong was still thinking about manipulating public opinion and trying to kill Yu Xiaoshu first.
How is this possible? ?
It would be fine if the quality of the TV series "Justice" is up to par.
But after Su Qing watched the first three episodes, she found them to be similar to the scripts she had read before. Basically, they were still made according to Su Dong's ideas, without any changes at all.
Really stubborn.
Su Qing has raised the issue before. The market is different now, or in other words, the model of combining traffic with veteran actors is no longer suitable.
Simply put, the audience has been fooled many times before, so they are very angry now.
They don't want to be deceived again.
Well, it was obvious that Su Dong was able to shoot a serious drama very well before, and it was obvious that Su Dong was able to shoot a serious drama, but he thought he understood the market.
This is a typical case of hitting a wall and then not looking back, insisting on knocking down the wall.
The problem is, times have changed.
Su Dong's original idea that he could change the market is no longer valid, but now he wants to hold on to this changed idea and think that he can.
How is it possible??
The data doesn't lie, and the ratings don't lie.
The ratings of "Justice" last night were quite good, directly breaking 3, even higher than "Sweeping Dark Storm".
This is quite normal, after all, this is because Xingcheng TV is much higher than Qidong TV.
So it is normal for Justice to be high.
However, both Star City TV and the creators of "Justice" were extremely dissatisfied with the ratings.
You have to know that Star City TV is a first-tier TV station, and one of the best among them. More importantly, despite such publicity, the ratings of "Justice" only broke 3.
So there is dissatisfaction.
The most important thing is that the current reputation is really bad.
At 12 noon, Douhu directly lifted the ban on ratings. The rating of "Justice" was only 5 points, and these 5 points were given by the fans who were crazy about it.
This really made passers-by angry.
"Fuck, I was going to give it a 3, but I'll just give it a 1 now. I'm really fed up with you fans."
"That's right, I've had enough of you fans, damn it, you always cover your mouth, what? You're not allowed to say it's rotten??"
"I am dying of laughter. I have to give you a low score today."
"I'll give it 1 point. I'll see how you fans can give me a higher score."
…
The scoring mechanism of Douhu is quite fair. It is also a real-name scoring system, and you can't cheat on the score even if you want to. That's why fans will show up here.
To put it bluntly, how many fans can a few popular artists have? ?
Most of it is just fiction.
Even if you are a top fan, you have to kneel in front of the people.
So, just because the fans gave 10 points and angered the people, the people are supposed to teach the fans a lesson.
Look, originally "Justice" was scored 5 points, and then because of the anger of some passers-by and viewers, you fans gave it 10 points, so we gave it 1 point.
After all, there is no zero score on Douhu.
So, before the show started in the evening, "Justice" set a record.
These traffic fans have completely lost their minds because they found that they can't win no matter how hard they fight.
What is more important?
What’s more important is that their idols also have black fans.
It’s hard enough to fight the masses, and now there are black fans like this. How do you say we should fight them?
Then the fans said: "You all want to blacken our brother, do you know how hard our brother works?"
It would have been fine if he hadn't said this, but some people who didn't want to give low scores became angry after hearing this.
So everyone started to give scores.
I have to say that the TV series "Justice" can be said to have created a miracle.
Except for the fans, everyone else gave low scores.
Therefore, before the fourth episode of "Justice" was aired, the score of "Justice" on Douhu was only 1 point.
