While the staff of Lei Ming Film and Television were standing in front of the computer screen, nervously paying attention to the ratings of "Return to the Qin Dynasty", the vast number of TV viewers were also watching this new drama with great interest.
Zhuang Heng is a college student in Yangcheng. His favorite pastime is watching TV.
My favorite genres are mainly time travel, and then historical themes. I am especially interested in the history of the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period, and the Qin and Han Dynasties.
This kind of audience is naturally the target audience for TV series like "Return to the Qin Dynasty" that travel back to the Qin Dynasty.
He had known the news about this TV series a long time ago through the introduction of his friends. He had been following the news about it since the beginning of its preparation. He had also been paying attention to every move of the crew during the filming period, and even sat in it by himself on weekends. The train went to the "Da Qin" crew in Shudian to watch their filming process live!
So tonight, he was particularly looking forward to the start of the TV series. When several other dormitory roommates went to the Internet cafe to have fun together, he declined their invitations and stayed alone in front of the TV in the dormitory, waiting for the movie. Start broadcasting.
At eight o'clock, the scene of "Return to the Great Qin" appeared on the TV screen on time!
At the same time, a loud and intense but ancient song also appeared in his ears along with the picture.
"Oh, the crew has really invested a lot of money. The quality of this opening song is really no worse than those of those hit dramas!"
Zhuang Heng's ears immediately stood up, and the well-made opening scene on the TV made him clenched his fists even more. He felt that the blood all over his body was boiling, and he was trembling slightly with excitement!
"After waiting for so long, it’s finally released, haha! Just by looking at the title sequence, you can tell that this drama is very conscientiously produced. The costumes and props are all real, not plastic ones to fool people. There are also the fights and singles on the battlefield. The fights between people are all about fighting, and they are not the inferior works in the previous fairy tale dramas where the little fresh meat and flowers were perfunctory with a wave of their fingers!"
He happily opened a bottle of Coke, put it to his mouth and drank a few sips, letting out a long burp, and felt so happy all over his body.
"Hey, are you guys watching this too?"
Suddenly, someone opened their dormitory door and walked in. He was a little surprised to see him sitting in front of the TV, drinking Coke and watching the show.
"Oh? Zhou Liang? Do you also watch this?"
Zhuang Heng turned around when he heard the sound and saw that it was his classmate Zhou Liang who lived in the opposite dormitory.
"The time-travel drama "Return to the Qin Dynasty" just released by Lei Ming Film and Television. I have been following them for a long time! Everyone in our dormitory has gone out. I was about to invite you to watch it together in our dormitory. Now we can save electricity. !」
After saying that, Zhou Liang himself took a chair next to him and sat down carelessly.
"Yes, I remember that you are also a loyal viewer of time-travel dramas, and you watch a lot of them. How about it? Do you think this drama is very well-produced? Even the opening song is so nice, so the content must be even better! Let me tell you , I went to the store and saw their filming with my own eyes!”
Zhuang Heng showed off his "feat" and introduced the show to his classmates. His proud look made others think he filmed it himself!
"Haha, I don't pay less attention than you. Although I haven't been to the scene, I have paid attention to the neck scarves of all the leading actors from the beginning to the end. Several of the leading actors have even interacted with me!"
Zhou Liang did not show an expression of envy. Instead, he took out a bag of spicy strips from his pocket and showed off his experience while eating them.
"Furthermore, you know that the opening song is nice, but do you know who its singer is?"
"Who?"
"Jiang Kan! You haven't even heard of this? You still have the nerve to say that you are Uncle Kan's loyal fan?"
"What? This was sung by Uncle Kan? The voice doesn't sound like it... Wait a minute, listening to what you say, it seems that this song is really sung by him? It's just that his voice is slightly lower, and
It was still in Cantonese... Damn it, no wonder I didn't catch it! "
Zhuang Heng slapped his thigh and shouted in surprise!
"It was actually sung by Uncle Kan? Let me tell you, how could it sound so good! Uncle Kan is awesome, he can perform such a majestic song so well, no wonder he is a genius who can get the first place in "Good Singer"! "
"Are you excited about this? Then if you knew that this song and the lyrics were composed by Uncle Kan himself, wouldn't you be so excited that you faint?"
Seeing that his showoff had a good effect, Zhou Liang also raised his eyebrows and made another shocking revelation.
"What? Uncle Kan wrote this song himself? That would be even more awesome. This, this, this is too cool!"
As soon as Xiaozhuang finished sighing, the opening part had finished playing, and the official content of the series began to play. They put aside their excitement for the time being and started watching the main show.
Like these two classmates, there are thousands of TV viewers waiting in front of the TV tonight.
One is because Yangcheng is originally a huge city, and its satellite TV station, Channel 1, has a very wide audience.
And their leaders are very fond of the theme of time-travel dramas that have become increasingly popular in recent years, and they also maintain a very high level of attention to this drama, so they are also very effective in publicity. Basically, Yangcheng Satellite TV The audience has already seen the relevant pre-publicity of this drama a few months ago.
Coupled with the promotion on social media by several participating stars themselves, the show has already received considerable attention from the audience before it even started airing.
"The first episode has ended, and the current ratings are 1.71%!"
In the marketing department of Lei Ming Film and Television, the loud announcements of the data clerks grabbed everyone's hearts at the same time.
"Well, yes, it's pretty good to have this data after the first episode. After all, not all TV viewers are watching this channel. Other major TV stations also have their own popular programs. The first episode of a new series It’s pretty good to have this level in one episode.”
Lao Lu also heard this data and nodded with satisfaction.
The boss’s requirement is that this drama must be rated 2.5%. It’s a bit difficult, but it’s not hopeless.
You must know that the first episode of the super national IP drama "The Legend of White Snake" which just aired was only 1.9%. It only exceeded 2.5% after the third episode.
This drama of his company is a brand new one. It had no name before. It is already a very good figure to reach 2% on the third day, so he has not reported too much now. hope.
"Well, not bad, keep paying attention. I'll report to Mr. Wang first."
After that, he left the marketing department and walked to Mr. Wang's general manager's office.
But just after he left, the data clerk's eyes suddenly widened as he stared at the data on the screen!
"W-what's going on? Is there something wrong with my eyes?"
He rubbed his eye sockets in disbelief. His bloodshot eyes surrounded by dark circles became slightly more comfortable before looking at the screen again.
"The increase in this data...is not reasonable?"
Because the end of the credits was playing just now, it was the time for the audience to get up to go to the toilet or change channels to see if other channels had good content, so the number on the screen dropped slightly from 1.71% just now to 1.53%.
But starting from 5 minutes before the start of the second episode, this number began to rise strangely!
1.53%.
1.55%.
1.61%.
1.67%.
1.71%.
1.78%.
1.83%.
1.87%.
1.95%…
"No way, just a few minutes of advertising time, and it's already 1.95?"
The data clerk felt that he had been under too much pressure recently, so he was hallucinating when he saw things.
He took off his glasses, took a breath and wiped them carefully with the hem of his clothes, then rubbed his sore eyes and looked at the screen again.
2.01%!
"Fuck, you can't, right?"
"What's going on? Why did it suddenly go up to 2%?"
His exclamation attracted all the colleagues around him to look at his computer screen!
"No way, really! It's really up to 2%!"
A fat female colleague next to him was the first to get next to him. She looked at the numbers on the screen and blurted out in surprise!
"The first episode scored 2%? Is our drama going to be a hit?"
Another thin male colleague next to him was also surprised to see this number that continued to grow slightly upwards, and he couldn't help but shouted happily!
"Really, holy shit, shit, that's amazing, 2.05%! This, this, what the hell is going on? Is our show really that good?"
Another colleague who had been too busy during this period and had no time to watch the finished product also exclaimed. They had no idea why this drama had such amazing potential in the first place!
"Monkey, turn on the Yangcheng TV channel! The opening theme song is being composed, written and sung by Uncle Kan himself!"
"What opening song? It's the opening song of a TV series! It's called "Return to the Great Qin"...haven't you seen it? Then you can go and watch it now. That's Uncle Kan's song. Haven't you always wanted to listen to his new songs? Then go and provide support!"
In the dormitory, while the commercials were playing after an episode, Zhuang Heng had already called three classmates and friends who were also fans of Jiang Kan like this!
After all, the songs written, composed and sung by Uncle Kan himself are the most sought-after songs by their fans.
In addition, Zhuang Heng was very satisfied with the theme and content of this drama, so he really spared no effort in promoting it and praised this drama to the sky!
Next to him, Zhou Liang had just called his girlfriend to promote the show, but the reply he got was that their girls' dormitory was watching "Return to the Qin Dynasty" together!
"You guys...don't you like watching male videos and these historical time-travel dramas? Why are the whole dormitory watching them?"
Zhou Liang was puzzled. What these women usually like to watch are romantic dramas, idol dramas and fairy tale dramas with young actors in them. How come they suddenly changed their gender and started watching time-travel historical dramas?
"Haha, are you confused? I knew you would be surprised. It's like this. The big treasure in our dormitory is a loyal fan of the leading actor in it, the second treasure is a loyal fan of the second male lead, and the fourth treasure and I are both Jiang Kan's fans. Loyal fans!"
His girlfriend's cute voice came over the phone, explaining to him the reason for their "night talk around the fire". :
"Although everyone has different concerns, this drama just brings them all together, so we just happen to watch it together! Don't tell me, I'm still not used to Uncle Kan's Cantonese singing style. Well, I didn’t even recognize it when he first started singing. It was only after our local Dabao said that the voice sounded like Jiang Kan!”
"Oh, so that's it..."
Zhou Liang then understood, no matter what, just let him know. Originally, they got together because they both liked Uncle Kan. This way, he and his girlfriend would have more common topics in their future communications.
Fans of Jiang Kan like them almost always picked up the phone and told other fans the news when they accidentally learned that the opening song was sung by their idol.
So word spread, and more and more fans of Jiang Kan turned on the TV to listen to their idol’s new songs, or switched other channels they were watching to Yangcheng Satellite TV 1 to give Uncle Kan Come on and cheer.
Thus, the scene above that happened in the marketing department of Lei Ming Film and Television appeared.
However
What surprised all the employees in the marketing department was still behind!
"The opening song ends and the main movie starts. The current ratings are 2.07%!"
The data clerk happily looked at the numbers in front of him and broadcast the report to everyone in a loud voice.
"Hey, guess what, will the number directly exceed 2.5% tonight?"
The fat female employee adjusted her thick black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose and looked expectantly at her colleagues around her.
"It's very possible, looking at this situation, maybe we can actually achieve our goal by premiering tonight!"
The thin male colleagues also joined in the conversation. They were really shocked by the surge in ratings just now!
"I also think that our drama is very likely to become this year's hit. You see, the ratings have already reached 2.0 in the second episode... What? Why did it start to drop?"
Everyone focused their attention on the number on the computer screen.
"2.06%",
"2.05%",
"2.02%",
"2.01%",
"1.99%! I'm going to drop 2%!"
"Still falling, still falling, 1.97%!"
"1.92%!"
"1.87%!"
"1.82%!"
"1.77%! Damn it, it's finally stable!"
"What's going on? Why did it suddenly drop so much? What happened?"
Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, and they all saw incredible things in each other's eyes!
Why did the upward trend just now suddenly drop so much? Is it only a little better than the data when the first episode was aired?
