"The ratings for the third and fourth episodes are only 2.6. This is really scary."
"The average first-run ratings are 2.3. It's only a matter of time before it becomes a hit. But I originally thought that even if "The Condor" could become a hit TV series, it would need to be aired at least until the mid-term. But now it seems that it will probably become a hit the day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. .”
"Too strong, invincible!"
"Because it's really good-looking. Wang Xuan's filming was so good. He restored the original work perfectly. For example, the scene and the atmosphere when Mei Chaofeng appeared were eerie and terrifying. They were exactly the same as in the original work, and even scarier than the original work. "
"Yeah. I didn't dare to watch it at the time. It felt like I was watching a horror movie."
"With Wang Xuan's setting skills, if he makes a horror movie, it will definitely look good."
"Who else!"
"Before, I was worried that "The Condor" would be suppressed by "Tianjiao Wushuang" when it was released on the same schedule as "Tianjiao Wushuang"? Now I realize that I have thought too much. The ratings of "Tianjiao Wushuang" have been declining in the past two days, and the premiere ratings 2.3, the next day the rating was 2.2, yesterday it became 2.1, if this continues, will it become 2.0 tomorrow?"
"Come on, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is not even worthy of supporting "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". The previous results have been suppressed by "The Condor Heroes", and they are crushed. If it is made into a TV series, it can compete with "The Condor Heroes" ?」
"That's not what I'm saying. I have one thing to say, "The Condor Warriors" is pretty good. If "The Condor Heroes" is filmed by someone else, it may not be as good as "The Condor Warriors." After all, everyone knows that many adaptations TV dramas and plots are all randomly altered, and even the screenwriters may not have read the original work, so there is no respect for the original work. But "The Condor" was written by Wang Xuan, and was adapted into a TV series. He is also the screenwriter and director. Naturally, the above problems do not exist.
Of course, although the screenwriter of "The Prodigy" is also written by the author Tianqiong himself, there is a gap between the two books themselves, and the TV series produced will naturally have a gap as well. This is an innate gap that is difficult to make up for. "
"You also missed one point. Wang Xuan was willing to spend money. The cost of filming "The Condor" alone was more than 100 million. Look at these episodes of "The Condor", they have done a lot of service, morals, and animation. OK, everything is in line with the characteristics of the era and the original work.
What about "Tianjiao Wushuang"? Although it is said to have cost more than 100 million, the actors' remuneration accounted for more than half. The pure shooting cost is far worse than that of "The Condor Shooting". What's more, "The Prodigy" is a fantasy, so the scenes should be more grand and more expensive. But in the filmed scenes, I don’t feel any fantasy elements at all. It’s just a martial arts man wearing a fantasy cloak. How can it be compared with "The Condor"? "
"Yeah. Before "The Condor" didn't come out, I thought "The Prodigy" was good. But after watching "The Condor", I instantly lost interest in "The Prodigy". Maybe this is the so-called lack of comparison. No harm done."
"One thing to say, the special effects of "The Prodigy" are pretty good."
"What's the use of light special effects? Don't even look at the martial arts scenes in "The Prodigy". It's a rigid turn-based system of one move for you and one move for me. The movements are too slow, just like a child playing house. It's so ugly. And " "Shooting the Condor", look at the scene where Qiu Chuji fights the gunman on the lake, watch the scene where Qiu Chuji fights the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan, which move is not free and fast, making people see blood flowing? "
"Yeah. It seems like the action movies shot by Wang Xuan, the martial arts scenes are very good, the fists, feet and swords are all fast and changeable, the moves are clean and neat, the movements are smooth and elegant, and they are never sloppy. This was the case in "Shaolin Temple" before, and "I Am a Special Forces Soldier" This is true, and the same is true for the current "Legend of the Condor Heroes"."
"This kind of action movie is good to watch. To put it bluntly, it is the way ordinary people fight. Ordinary people are not fast or strong enough. Real martial arts masters will not be like this."
........
As soon as the ratings for the second day of "The Condor" were released, there was a lot of discussion online.
While the ratings have soared, the reputation of "The Condor" has also become more and more explosive. The score on Poison.com has increased to 9.4, and the score on Movie Paradise has reached 9.6.
It only aired four episodes and got this rating, which is very impressive
Horrible.
In comparison, while the ratings of "The Prodigy" dropped, its reputation also declined. On the first day, the score of Toxic.com was still 8.9, and the score of Movie Paradise was 9.0. But by the third day, the score of Toxic.com had dropped to 8.5, and the score of Movie Paradise had dropped to 8.7.
This scene made Zhehai TV and Tianqiong a little confused.
Previously, Tianqiong was also the author of "Tianjiao Wushuang" which became a hit, and his market price followed the rising tide. As a result, the broadcast of "The Condor" and the decline in ratings and reputation of "The Prodigy" quickly gave him a blow to the head.
If this continues, it will be good if the ratings of "The Prodigy" can remain above 2.1. How can it be a big hit?
Of course, the ratings of 2.1 are not low. Many TV series do not even have ratings of 1.0. Question: Tianqiong has high hopes for "Tianjiao Wushuang". Especially when the ratings came out on the first day, he had even greater expectations.
Zhehai TV is similar.
The first-day ratings of "Tianjiao Wushuang" have been released. Zhehai Satellite TV's bottom line goal for "Tianjiao Wushuang" is to be a hit. It even imagined that when "Tianjiao Wushuang" reaches its climax, the ratings can exceed 4. But now, this fantasy is shattered.
Looking at the ratings and reputation of "The Condor", and then looking at the ratings and reputation of "The Prodigy", the top management of Zhehai TV is totally unhappy.
But it’s not just Zhehai Satellite TV that feels bad?
After the ratings for "The Condor" were released on the first day, many TV stations regretted it. But I still tried to comfort myself in my heart: maybe "The Condor" only had high ratings in its first broadcast, and then it declined. After all, there are many fans of "The Condor" and Wang Xuan. But if the filming is not good-looking, when the fans' enthusiasm is exhausted, they will still rush to the street.
But on the second day, the ratings of "The Condor" actually soared by 0.22. Especially in terms of word-of-mouth, everyone knows how high the original party's requirements are for adaptations into film and television dramas, and they will directly give negative reviews if there is any discrepancy.
But now, the reputation of "The Condor" is actually rising, and its rating is as high as 9.6. This is not something that many fans can explain. The only explanation is that "The Condor Shooting" was shot really well, and it is very consistent with the original intention.
If this situation continues, the ratings of "The Condor" will definitely explode.
What does it feel like to be a TV station?
They had hoped to win the premiere rights to "The Condor" at the beginning, but they were too expensive and didn't dare to take the risk because Wang Xuan's filming was not good. This allowed Yangcheng TV to get a big advantage.
However, the most pitiful one is Zhehai TV.
Spending 120 million to buy the first broadcast rights of "Tianjiao Wushuang", it seems that it can recover the cost. And if it only recovers the cost, it will definitely be a loss for Zhehai Satellite TV. After all, it has wasted 20 days of prime time.
No, Zhehai Satellite TV will most likely not even be able to recoup its costs.
Let’s put it this way, there are generally two ways of cooperation between TV stations and advertisers. The first one is directly determined. The advertisers negotiate cooperation with the TV stations and place advertisements. The price is directly negotiated and the price is fixed during the advertising period.
The second type is called the guaranteed mode. In this model, the TV station will agree on a guaranteed price with the advertiser, and then use the ratings as the benchmark, and the advertising price will be linked to the ratings. When the viewership reaches a certain level, the advertising price will become the benchmark corresponding to the viewership. To put it bluntly, in the second method, advertising price and ratings are directly proportional. The higher the ratings, the higher the advertising price; the lower the ratings, the lower the advertising price.
There are two ways. For TV stations, the first one has the lowest risk. Generally, TV stations will make a ratings evaluation of the TV programs broadcast during that time period, and then set the advertising price for that time period.
But if you are confident about the programs broadcast in a certain time period and it is difficult to evaluate the ratings, most TV stations will choose the second mode. This is a flexible model where risks and benefits coexist. Because the guaranteed price is generally much lower than the normal price. If the ratings fail to increase, the TV station will lose money. But if the ratings are much higher than expected, the TV station will make a lot of money.
Dare to spend 120 million to purchase the first broadcast rights of "Tianjiao Wushuang", Zhehai Satellite TV must have confidence in "Tianjiao Wushuang",
Not surprisingly, I will definitely choose the second mode. But now, "Tianjiao Wushuang" has been suppressed by "The Condor", and it is estimated that it will be difficult to even maintain a ratings of 2.1.
In view of this, Zhehai TV will most likely only receive a minimum price for advertisements placed during prime time periods. How can it recover the cost?
And Yangcheng TV is probably going to make a fortune.
After all, if it dares to spend 160 million to purchase the first broadcast rights of "Legend of the Condor Heroes", Yangcheng TV must be very confident in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and will most likely adopt the second model. And now, just the second day after it was broadcast, the ratings of "The Condor" are as high as 2.6.
If the ratings of 2.6 can be maintained, it will be enough for Yangcheng TV to recover its costs.
But if this continues, the ratings of "The Condor" will be more than 2.6?
Sure enough, on the evening of the 7th, the fifth and sixth episodes of "The Condor" were broadcast. The fifth episode mainly tells the story of Wanyan Honglie who wants to win over Guo Jing, and learns Guo Jing's identity, so he orders to eradicate the roots. By the way, it also brings out the emotions of Hua Zheng and Guo Jing. It tells the love between Mei Chaofeng and Chen Xuanfeng and shows it to the audience through memories.
The sixth episode mainly tells the story of Ke Zhen'e hiding a coffin to assassinate Mei Chaofeng. The seven people joined forces and failed to fight, and one of them was killed. Moreover, the classic scene of Guo Jing bending his bow and shooting a vulture was also broadcast in this episode. By the way, it also brought out the agreement between Qiu Chuji and the Jiangnan Seven Monsters eighteen years ago.
The plots of the two episodes are equally exciting and have aroused a lot of discussion.
The ratings came out the next day, and the ratings of "The Condor" rose again, to 2.75, while the ratings on Toxic.net and Movie Paradise remained unchanged.
On the evening of the 8th, the seventh and eighth episodes of "The Condor" were broadcast. It mainly tells the story of the seven monsters who suspected Guo Jing and Mei Chaofeng of having an affair and killed them. Fortunately, Ma Yu rescued them in time and Temujin was honest on the surface, but he actually turned around behind his back! Unified Mongolia as Genghis Khan.
The scene where Wang Xuan rented an unmanned helicopter to shoot appeared in the tenth episode. The panoramic view of thousands of miles of grassland is so beautiful that it feasts the eyes of countless viewers and makes them want to travel to the grassland one day.
The ratings came out the next day, and they still rose sharply, reaching 2.88.
On the evening of the 9th, the ninth and tenth episodes of "The Condor" were broadcast.
In the ninth episode, Guo Jing finally returned from the grassland to the Central Plains with the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan. What countless viewers are looking forward to is that Huang Rong finally appeared. Many people on the Internet ridiculed the plot of this episode: Guo Jing meets Huang Rong for the first time, has a big dinner and a casino, and changes his wife after a meal!
Don't tell me, this joke is really accurate. If Guo Jing didn't despise Huang Rong for being a beggar and invited Huang Rong to that meal, how could Huang Rong like the silly boy Guo Jing?
In the tenth episode, Huang Rong took off her beggar uniform and revealed her daughter's body. Her cuteness and cuteness were beyond recognition. At that moment, Brother Jing was stunned.
Countless viewers were also confused.
The sound of "Brother Jing" not only made Guo Jing's soul soften, but also made countless viewers' souls soften. Adrenaline boiled and hormones secreted rapidly.
"My mom? This is so beautiful!"
"Who can withstand this?"
"Ahhhh, I'm going to fall in love."
"When Huang Rong pretended to be a beggar, I didn't take it seriously. I thought to myself why Wang Xuan found an ugly girl to play Huang Rong, but now... If this is an ugly girl, there probably won't be many beauties in the world."
"Who is this actor? The costume is so beautiful."
"I paid attention to the cast list before, and it seems that her name is Deng Meilin. This is her first time appearing in a TV series."
"Her temperament is so similar to Huang Rong in the original novel. She is quirky, yet pure and beautiful. She is simply the goddess of my dreams."
.......
Huang Rong's appearance is a turning point in "The Condor". Although the previous grassland scenes were not boring, they were not really exciting in "The Condor". Only after Huang Rong appeared did "The Condor" become truly exciting.
In "The Condor", Huang Rong is definitely the favorite character of countless readers, even more popular than Guo Jing.
With Huang Rong's appearance, the ratings of "The Condor" soared. The ratings of the ninth and tenth episodes immediately broke 3 and reached 3.1.
from 2
.88 soared to 3.1, soaring by 0.22. This is Huang Rong's popularity. You know, this is a surge based on the 2.88 ratings.
And "The Condor" has officially become a hit TV series, and it was produced in a very short time, only 5 days.
Seeing this scene, countless people didn't know what to say.
The industry lost its voice.
The people who eat melons are excited.
The sky was speechless and choked.
Zhehai Satellite TV sighed.
Each David was so regretful that his thighs were almost broken.
Even CCTV was stunned and speechless.
I feel that CCTV will also focus on the TV series produced by Wang Xuan in the future. Because CCTV also relies on advertising to generate revenue. In the past, CCTV usually collected scripts for its TV series, and major production companies took the initiative to submit scripts. Only when CCTV was satisfied did they cooperate in filming.
For example, in the previous collection of military-themed scripts, CCTV collected the scripts, then financed the filming and bought out the broadcasting rights.
Or, the production company takes the initiative to sell the finished product door-to-door. If CCTV takes a fancy to it, it will also directly buy out the copyright.
This way of cooperation gives CCTV the greatest benefit. Because the copyright has been bought out, the buyout price will not be too high. After the TV series became a hit at CCTV, CCTV could also sell the broadcast rights to local satellite TVs at a high price.
Those production companies naturally know that selling TV series to CCTV in the form of a buyout will result in a loss in revenue, but it will greatly increase the reputation of their company, so CCTV has never lacked production companies to cooperate.
But obviously, Tianhai and Wang Xuan were not included.
"The Condor Shooting" filmed by Wang Xuan was not promoted to CCTV. He even made a script that was rejected by CCTV into a TV series before, and competed with CCTV. Of course, Wang Xuan also had a sense of propriety. The arena was fought in a staggered manner, so the two sides did not break out.
That matter has already been revealed.
From this point of view, Wang Xuan was honest with CCTV. Although they will look down upon them because they are CCTV, they are neither condescending nor condescending, and will not fawn over them like other production companies do.
"We Went to School Together", "I Am a Special Forces Soldier", and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" are all popular... Wang Xuan has already demonstrated his ability as a screenwriter and director. The TV series he will shoot in the future must be taken seriously.
From now on, China Central Television will probably come to us to ask for cooperation.
After all, look at how the ratings of most CCTV channels for the same period were suppressed by "The Condor". Even CCTV's highest ratings were only 2.2.
"The Condor" became a hit, and the happiest people are Tianhai and Yangcheng TV.
