Chapter 252: Surpassing Tangren and "Becoming Famous"



"My Sunshine" has only 32 episodes, and two episodes are broadcast a day, which is a little over half a month, so the finale was broadcast in early August.

In the end, the average viewership rating of "Come, My Love" on Jiangsu Satellite TV was 2.61, and it is also the TV series with the highest viewership on Jiangsu Satellite TV so far this year.

The ratings of Shanghai TV were lower, but it still firmly ranked in the top two for the whole year along with "The East is the Palace".

Leaving CCTV aside, the ratings of this drama have remained in the top three among the satellite TV dramas aired this year.

Unfortunately, the show did not live up to the best results many people expected.

The overall quality of the drama "Come, My Love" is not bad, and it can even be said to be very distinctive, but it still has some flaws.

First of all, the plot is a bit flat. It mainly consists of the daily life and sweet moments of the male and female protagonists. There are no misunderstandings between the male and female protagonists, and any minor conflicts are quickly resolved.

In this way, the style is light-hearted and cheerful, and the male and female protagonists are also likable, but the lack of contradictions and conflicts may make some viewers feel somewhat bored.

It's okay in the first and middle stages. After all, the hero and heroine are in love and they pull each other along. When there's a little progress, the audience starts to smile.

But in the later period, the relationship between the two sides stabilized and the necessary progress was almost achieved. Even the childhood sweetheart of the male protagonist was won over, and his ex-girlfriend was just a cannon fodder. Under such circumstances, the male and female protagonists couldn't resist showing their affection every day.

Therefore, the drama has the heroine start her own business in the later period, introducing an independent growth line.

As for the effect, it can only be said to be average, and the evaluation is much lower than that of the first and middle parts.

After all, this kind of plot can only satisfy some independent female audiences who think the heroine is great and don't want to be a canary.

But most ordinary audiences are not too interested in this kind of plot. Not to mention the male audiences, quite a number of female audiences also don't like to watch it.

At this stage, more female audiences in China still like to watch Cinderella and Prince Charming. There is a market for female independence, but it has not yet reached the mainstream level.

A sweet pet drama about a domineering CEO. If this kind of plot is inserted, it would have elevated the intention and sublimated the theme ten years later, but it would be mediocre or even inappropriate if it is released now.

But there is no way. The original novel has only dozens of chapters, which are basically daily life. If the screenwriter does not expand the side lines, how can it be shot into 36 episodes?

The dull plot in the later period led to a decline in the overall ratings to a certain extent.

According to the forecast of the previous data, Blue Whale expected that "Come, My Love" would be able to break 3, or even exceed 3, but it has only achieved 2.61 at the moment.

However, even if it did not achieve the ratings miracle of "My Love from the Star" and "The East Palace", this data satisfied almost everyone.

There is no need to say much about Shanghai TV. Jiangsu TV has also collaborated on two works in succession, and both have benefited a lot and have more trust in Wei Yang.

Before the broadcast of "Come, My Love" was finished, they began to set their sights on other projects of Blue Whale.

Let’s not mention “Joy of Life” which has been in such high demand for a long time.

Jiangsu Provincial TV had tasted the sweetness of success with two hit idol dramas, "My Love from the Star" and "Come on, My Love", so it set its sights on "Diamond Lover".

Shanghai TV also took a fancy to "Diamond Lover", but was also interested in "Chef Fang in Flowers" starring the popular Zhao.

As for "Soul Ferry", they also asked about it, but the subject matter is too sensitive and is currently under consideration and discussion.

It's not just these two TV stations. Other TV stations also want to take advantage of the popularity of "Come On, Mr. Love".

It was fine for a few cooperating first-tier TV stations, but several second- and third-tier TV stations also seemed to have figured out the situation and directly offered the condition of paying the full amount in one lump sum.

If they can ensure that the money is paid quickly, the combined efforts of several of them will pose a threat to first-tier TV stations in terms of both price and influence.

Since Xiao Zhao is very popular now, "Chef Fang in Huajian" is also the most favored by everyone.

Many people are eyeing "Diamond Lover", but Wei Yang thinks that the male lead is Qiao Zhenyu, so they can wait until "Startling by Each Step" is broadcast before discussing it.

So the main topic of discussion now is "Chef Fang in Huajian".

Zhao Yihuan is very popular, Lin Gengxin is not bad either, and this is a web drama adapted by Wei Yang as the chief screenwriter. It carries the Blue Whale brand, so the ordinary price cannot meet your needs.

"Come on, Mr. Love" has a single episode budget of 2.2 million, but the main character is Wei Yang, and the cost expenditure is limited.

Although "Chef Fang in Huajian" is a costume drama, its cost is actually not that high. Even though the market is now booming and the price of TV dramas is rising, it is impossible for the price to rise too much.

Blue Whale’s psychological price is more than 1.5 million per episode. After all, Zhao Xiao is very popular, and the Blue Whale’s brand is no joke.

So far, Blue Whale has not messed up anything it has done. People in the industry joke that the Blue Whale or Wei Yang signboard alone is worth 10 to 20 million.

The highest bid at the moment comes from a combination of four satellite TV stations including Shanghai TV, Shandong TV and Liaoning TV, all of which are 1.7 million per episode. The TV series has 36 episodes, which is just over 60 million.

Wei Yang was quite satisfied with this price, after all, there were other benefits as well.

Even so, the first-round broadcast rights of a drama starring two "newcomers" can be sold for more than 60 million. Wei Yang is the only one in the industry who has this ability.

This newly-minted "Wei Girl" has become the hottest new star in just half a month, with her Weibo fans skyrocketing to over 3 million.

Compared with her, the new Little Swallow and the new Ziwei, which were heavily promoted by Qiong Yao, are overshadowed, and their popularity and influence are far inferior to Xiao Zhao.

Previously, Qiong Yao was the TV drama producer who was best at promoting female stars in the industry. In the early years, Brigitte Lin, Chen Hong, Liu Xuehua, Chen Derong, Jiang Qinqin, a certain Zhao, Ruby Lin, and Fan Xiaopang were all famous Qiong Yao girls.

In recent years, Qiong Yao's influence is not as great as before, but Huang Yi, Ma Yili, Qin Lan, Zhang Jiani and others also started their careers from Qiong Yao dramas and made rapid progress.

However, in this battle of [Wei girl VS Qiong Yao girl], the latter, with her national IP, was still defeated by Wei Yang.

Xiao Zhao became famous overnight, and Wei Girl also shined brightly, with her momentum even surpassing that of Star Girl, who has produced fewer works in recent years, and catching up with Mou Girl.

Unfortunately, Mou's girls have two super actresses, Zhang Ziyi and Gong Li, to back them up. Judging from the value of their works, it will be difficult for Wei's girls to catch up.

But Wei Yang didn't care whose girl was better. Xiao Zhao's popularity also meant that Blue Whale had one more card.

Currently, the popular young actresses that Blue Whale can recruit include Zhao Ji, Nazha and Xiao Zhao. The subsequent resources of Rouba are also not weak. Among the male artists, Lin Gengxin, Qiao Zhenyu and Li Jiahang are also developing well.

The artist management business will no longer be a blood-sucking burden for Blue Whale, but will be able to make money for the company.

At the same time, Blue Whale, which has a large number of representative works and popular artists, has a stronger momentum and has surpassed Tangren to become the most influential film and television entertainment company in the Magic City.

This will not change even if "Startling by Each Step" is broadcast.

After all, Blue Whale’s strong capabilities and achievements are there. Also, don’t forget that the drama “Startling by Each Step” is strictly speaking a joint production of Blue Whale and Tangren.

Cai Yinong has already convinced!

She had no choice but to accept it. It took her more than ten years to get Tang Ren to this point, but Wei Yang surpassed her in just three years.

She even no longer regretted why she didn't spend a lot of money to bring Wei Yang to Tangren.

Because she has realized that this hidden dragon of the Tang people cannot be tied down. Wei Yang probably never thought about joining the Tang people from the beginning to the end. Even if he had thought about it, it would probably be just a stepping stone.

The relationship between Blue Whale and the Tang people has evolved from a vague dependence in the beginning, to equal cooperation before, and now Blue Whale has a greater dominance in the cooperation.

The people of the Tang Dynasty had mixed feelings about these changes, but they had to adapt to them. At the same time, Liu Shishi's status in the Tang people became even more transcendent.

Tang people now have complicated feelings towards Liu Shishi and cannot abandon her. Not to mention Wei Yang for now, she has always been one of the pillars of Tang people.

But if they continue to invest resources at all costs, even if Liu Shishi stays until the end of her contract, it will still be a huge loss for Tangren.

Therefore, after seeing the flourishing of Blue Whale artists, Tangren also made a decision.

Support newcomers! Not only Liu Shishi is being promoted as the top female candidate, but Hu Ge's candidacy for the top male candidate has also begun to be planned. In case the two leave, there will be newcomers to take their place.

The candidate for the top actor of Tangren has actually been chosen long ago, and that is Jiang Jinfu, a student of the 2008 class of Shanghai Theatre Academy.

The film "Xuan-Yuan Sword: Scar of Sky" is currently in preparation and is about to start filming. Jiang has been confirmed to play the male lead, and Hu Ge will play the supporting role.

There is no suitable actress for the moment, so Lao Cai picked a newcomer from Shanghai Theatre Academy and Beijing Film Academy, and assigned him to the crew of "Xuan-Yuan Sword: Scar of Sky" to see the effect.

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but envy Wei Yang's second beauty from Xinjiang Province. Her hardware conditions were too good. If she could get one, she wouldn't have to worry about being the first sister.

She had even asked someone to go to Xinjiang Province to see if she could imitate it. Not only Tangren did this. After the tattoo became popular, many entertainment companies and agents went to Xinjiang Province to recruit people.

But unfortunately, most of them did not find suitable ones. A few were signed back, but the training resources and efforts were not as good as those of Blue Whale.

Wei Yang is not concerned about Tangren's desire to cultivate a new top female star. After "Startling by Each Step", Tangren will most likely no longer pose a threat to Blue Whale.

Liu Shishi's future is definitely not with Tangren. She will most likely set up her own independent studio or company and cooperate with Blue Whale or Wei Yang's new agency.

Overtaking Tangren was a shock to Tangren and even to all the companies in Shanghai, but for Wei Yang, the joy was only temporary. Tangren, whose potential had been exhausted, was not the real opponent in Wei Yang's mind.

Wei Yang does not need to worry about the arrangements for the second and third rounds of rebroadcasts of "Come on, Mr. Lucky" as "Joy of Life" is still in post-production and all parties are negotiating, and are currently in the initial contact stage.

Wei Yang's focus began to shift from the TV series to Blue Whale's first movie.

In early August, Blue Whale officially announced that its first film, "Famous", would be launched today.

Wei Yang serves as director + screenwriter + leading actor, and well-known director Ning Hao serves as producer. It is rumored that the crew has already invited Ge You, and the two sides are in a heated competition.
