Chapter 587: You can't just rely on Yu Xiaoshu (ask for monthly votes)
For the online drama circle, April is a golden month, because this time the online dramas are quite lively, because no one expected that "The Beginning" would be so terrifying.
As of April 15, the current attitude of the online drama circle is as follows.
That's the killing spree of "The Beginning".
On April 1st, Kunlang Video’s first drama “The Trick” was strongly crushed by “The Beginning”.
On April 2, Xiaoma Video’s video “I Love the Nanny” was criticized harshly.
On April 5, MiLi Video's "Dead End" really became a dead end.
On April 10, Xingyao Video’s "I’d Betray the Whole World for You" was such a flop that even the beginning of the film could not be seen.
At this point, I have to complain that it's not just the names of movies that are getting longer and longer. On the contrary, the names of TV series are also getting longer and longer, especially for online dramas.
You gave a costume drama a name that sounds like a middle school movie.
On April 12, a drama produced by Xiaoma Video also flopped.
As for April 15, MiLi Video’s “Big Winner” was also considered a failure.
As a result, 7 web dramas have been aired in April.
This is also considered a golden age in the online drama circle.
What’s more important is that Xingyao Video will have two more web dramas coming up, on the 20th and 30th respectively. Kunlang Video will have another web drama on the 22nd. Xiaoma Video will also have a web drama on this day, and Mili Video will also have one on the 25th.
As for these five web dramas, Xiaoma Video has already withdrawn them.
That's right.
Xiaoma Video is no longer optimistic about itself.
Anyway, one movie "The Beginning" is enough.
After all, if the normal trend is followed, "Beginning" may not be completed until June if it is aired one episode per week.
With one episode per week, the popularity of "The Beginning" is undeniable.
Of course, for Xiaoma Video, they are planning to add more chapters.
The reason is simple.
While "The Beginning" is becoming more popular, adding more chapters at this time will maximize the benefits.
Especially after the 5th episode aired today, all the viewers can’t wait.
Add more.
We're going to add more.
What do we want?
More updates! More updates! More updates!
What should we add???
Even.
What more to add?
Add more content about "The Beginning".
Everyone can say that they like "The Beginning" too much, so naturally they want more updates for "The Beginning" at this time.
After all, the foreshadowing in the fifth episode was so intense that many people want to know what will happen in the sixth episode.
For example, will the man who was pulled out of the car to avoid the explosion join the loop?
For example, will the man with the snakeskin bag have other clues next? ? ?
For example, is the character of Yige actually an irony? ?
Many people like to empathize, like the character of Yi Ge. The two anchors talked about Yi Ge before the show started, saying that everyone actually hated Yi Ge behind his back, and the manager was also preparing to create a character for Yi Ge.
As for the male anchor who kept saying that he was a brother to Yi Ge, he told his assistant to remember to give him a high-definition camera.
In fact, he just wanted to take advantage of Big Boss's blood.
But why can he take advantage of the blood of the elder brother?
Isn’t it because the audience likes it???
When many people learn that someone has passed away, they always like to express their feelings or even say how they feel.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than using the death of others to lament one's own death.
This is just another way of exploiting other people's suffering.
Just like in Brother Yi’s live broadcast room, many people were filling the screen with messages saying they missed Brother Yi.
In fact, the dead brother is the best.
If Yi Ge hadn't died, where would everyone go to express their sadness???
Many people did not expect that the episode "The Beginning" would blatantly expose this abnormal live broadcast industry.
This is the responsibility of online dramas.
In recent years, some live broadcasts have increasingly challenged people's bottom line.
Some live broadcasts try to skirt the line of pornography in order to gain attention. In fact, if it is just the female anchor who skirts the line of pornography, then it doesn’t matter. This kind of person is actually a female bodhisattva.
But some are not.
They are completely breaking the bottom line and playing edge balls in various ways.
For example, they sexually harass others, take secret photos, and some even install cameras in hotels to secretly take photos of couples.
These are just not fair and aboveboard.
As for being open and aboveboard, it's equally disgusting.
Some anchors directly abuse the elderly, such as making them eat ice and spicy food, and then claim that it is to make money for the elderly, or to do some charity, but these charities are actually all scams.
At the same time, some people, in order to win everyone's sympathy, simply abuse their wives deliberately to gain sympathy and rewards.
In short, this deformed live broadcast environment implies that everyone’s values have collapsed.
It's not just live streaming, it can also be seen from the spread of various social platforms.
Basically, users are sinking, and in many cases, it is becoming increasingly difficult to isolate everyone's information.
It seems that the Internet has made people less isolated, but in fact, because of the Internet, people are becoming more and more isolated in their information cocoons.
People are only willing to believe what they see, and they only pay attention to what they like. Under big data, they will also push what you like to you.
Just like that, you end up living in your own information cocoon and can’t get out.
Take Douhu and other social platforms as an example. Isn’t Douhu actually an information cocoon? ?
Traffic cannot come in, but at the same time, Douhu users think they are superior and they are not very willing to understand the traffic.
In short, it’s enough to just curse the traffic.
Another wave of traffic fans are all deeply trapped in their own information cocoons, and are convinced that everyone wants to harm my brothers and sisters.
You say, what is there to say?
It's a waste of time to argue with them.
These are actually what everyone inferred after watching "The Beginning".
You see, a good drama can easily make people reflect and discuss.
Think about it, for a drama like "I Love the Nanny", what reflection and discussion do you have after watching it???
Because it's too fake, and not only is it fake, it's not real either.
The people inside live in villas and drive luxury cars, and the female college graduates don’t have to worry about so-called jobs and rent at all. The places they live in are not for ordinary people.
There are too many dramas like "I Love the Nanny".
Because there are no poor people in this kind of drama.
At present, the first five episodes of "The Beginning" have been aired. Of course, since the plot basically takes place on the bus, it should be difficult to see at this time whether there are so-called poor people or not.
But at least everyone is still willing to watch it now and thinks the drama is excellent.
In fact, it’s still the same sentence, it all depends on the contrast with peers.
Sometimes, it’s not that you are so outstanding, but because your peers are so rubbish, it makes you appear to be quite outstanding.
Of course, "The Beginning" is good enough, and because it is good enough, other works are quite rubbish in contrast, so it is just like that, plus everyone is disappointed with other web dramas throughout April.
These include not only online dramas, but also TV dramas.
Several flagship TV series also flopped.
As for netizens, sometimes what they say can be extremely harsh.
"Sometimes I wonder, tell me, do these people who make TV dramas really not know how bad they are?"
"Sometimes he really doesn't know, but most of the time he knows, and the director is not a fool."
"In fact, it's not just web series, but also TV series and movies. It's basically like this. Their directors know it's not going to work when they're halfway through filming."
"Yes, this principle is correct. The director is not a fool."
…
Many times, this is actually true.
Just like when the national master on Earth filmed "The Great Wall", the national master said in an interview that he knew this "The Great Wall" was not good, but he still filmed it because it could be the world premiere or something, and he ultimately couldn't avoid the profit.
Also, Wang Jing once said in "Round Table" that when he was halfway through filming "The Great Wall", he knew that there would definitely be problems.
So, you're saying that directors really don't know when they're making bad movies???
Of course it's impossible. How could these directors not know?
In the past two years, people have become more and more disgusted with some directors. If you make a bad movie, why should the audience understand you? ? ?
Why would I bother with you?
It is also because of this that it is becoming increasingly difficult to fool the audience.
No matter how great or nice you say it is.
But trash is trash.
Just like the four video websites each promoting their own web dramas in April, no matter how much they hype it up, it doesn’t matter.
If the audience likes it, they will watch it.
The audience didn't like it.
No matter what you do, the audience still won’t watch it.
No matter if you are Nie Fei or Zhang Fan, no matter if you are Zhu Qing or Ma Yanyan, no matter what kind of acting skill you are, no matter if you are a famous director.
It's all useless.
Anyway, as long as your quality is not good, the audience won’t like it.
"The Beginning" proves all of this.
Even though the script of "The Beginning" was written by Yu Xiaoshu, the audience still felt uneasy, because everyone felt that "The Beginning" was directed by Yu Xiaoshu after all. Think about it, Yu Xiaoshu has never been a director.
How can he do that???
What’s the result???
As soon as the third episode of "The Beginning" was aired, I instantly became addicted to it.
The audience felt it was really good, and many people on Douhu who criticized Yu Xiaoshu also felt it was really good.
It is difficult for anyone to escape the law of true fragrance.
In such a situation, "The Beginning" further consolidated its achievements with episodes 4 and 5. For the first three episodes, many people were worried that it would only be a good start and might collapse later on.
Then what? ? ?
Episode 4 is different from Episode 5.
These two episodes are gradually getting better.
Especially the fifth episode was too much for many viewers to bear.
Didn’t you see that even Feng Ling couldn’t stand it.
The joy of waiting for updates is indeed gone.
Waiting is really not happy at all.
Then the next day, on the 16th, before 7 o'clock in the morning, the official Weibo account of "Beginning" directly posted a status: "Xiao Kai has heard everyone's call, and will add another episode at 12 noon today on time."
If you keep thinking about it, there will be a response.
This time, Yu Xiaoshu's drama has been updated again and again.
What’s particularly interesting is that no one has ever seen this kind of additional update routine.
The news of today’s update was announced this morning.
You know, yesterday it was very quiet, there was no sign of any additional updates, and many people even thought that there would be no additional updates at this time. Everyone felt that sometimes you have to keep the audience on suspense.
I didn't expect the result.
This time there was actually an update.
And the update time is directly at 12 noon.
The forum has gone completely crazy.
"Okay, good, I really added more chapters. I hope I can add another chapter tomorrow."
"Haha, that's right, I also think we should just update once a day from now on and just go straight to the finale."
"Can I get a membership to watch the finale in advance? I have money, no need to save it for me."
"We thought the same thing. Actually, you can just subscribe to a membership on Xiaoma Video to watch the entire series."
"Don't think too much. I think this is definitely impossible. If members watch the entire series directly, then let's be honest. If members watch the entire series directly, it would be a bit like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. I'm afraid the discussion will definitely be heated up next."
"Yes, pony videos won't be that stupid, but I hope it can be two episodes a week from now on?"
"Upstairs, have you forgotten that Yu Xiaoshu's dramas are always updated very quickly? I think this is not impossible."
…
Everyone in the forum is about to set off firecrackers. For many people, this April is really a bit boring and tedious. Here I am referring to those who like watching movies and TV dramas. After all, many people don’t like reading books either.
April is a golden month for the literary world.
This is what we said before, there is extreme isolation between circles.
For people who watch online dramas, they just want to watch movies and TV shows.
Then, the most fucked up thing is that there were no good movies released in April, and most of the TV series were basically flops. As for online dramas, it was supposed to be a so-called golden age for online dramas, but they also failed.
Then, there is only one play left.
It is this film "The Beginning".
This is true for Feng Ling, and the same is true for Bai Hai.
University life should be colorful, but Bai Hai is a typical otaku. He likes two things the most: reading and watching TV series.
Because of his high requirements, Bai Hai basically watches foreign dramas, because the more he watches domestic dramas, the more disappointed he becomes.
Only Yu Xiaoshu is okay.
But you can’t rely on Yu Xiaoshu alone to support your country.
TV series, thanks to Yu Xiaoshu.
Movies, thanks to Yu Xiaoshu.
Before, online dramas relied on Yu Xiaoshu. But after all these years, online dramas still rely on Yu Xiaoshu.
Look, throughout April, other dramas are useless, only "The Beginning" has some appeal.
For half a month, Bai Hai wrote two drama reviews every day, one criticizing other dramas and the other praising "The Beginning".
Today, it looks like I can write again.
But let’s watch episode 6 first.
