Rebirth Begins with a Manga Adaptation

Saturday night, April 1st.

It was raining continuously in Shanghai. Zhang Ning was sitting on the bus, watching the trailer of a TV series playing on the TV in the bus.

It is the "handbook" of the Imperial TV station.

Beside him, three female high school students were discussing relevant remarks there.

"Ah, I heard that Ye Qizheng is the leading actor in this drama."

"I've also heard that when I was a child, I liked watching his dramas. His acting skills are superb, but I heard that he gave up acting to start a business? I didn't expect to see him starring in TV dramas again."

"Isn't that a loss? Isn't that how celebrities go to business after rehearsing dramas? Few of them make money."

"I watched the preview of Imperial Capital TV before, and I thought it was pretty good! It's kind of like that."

"Also, the summer dramas of Mirage TV are also of high quality. On the other hand, the new dramas in April in our Magic Capital area seem to be mediocre!"

"But Yunteng TV has a second season of the game soul? I feel that the game soul may be able to rise in this season? Every quarter, if you look at the ratings and popularity rankings, they are all the dramas of the six major TV stations. If Yun Teng can rise like this, I feel that the film and TV drama market in Shanghai will be more interesting in the future."

"I think the words of Qihun are interesting, but Yunteng is fine. A well-produced drama cannot change its overall standard."

"However, isn't the screenwriter of Soul of Chess, Jing Yu, also airing a new drama tonight? It seems to be called "Stand-In" but it is broadcast at the same time as "Manual."

"That's a pity. If Soul of Chess and the Handbook were broadcast at the same time, I would still struggle a little bit, but the so-called "stand-in", I heard that it is a small-budget drama, and I don't think it will be too brilliant."

"I've been fascinated by Jing Yu's dramas for a while. After watching the Soul of Chess, I even made up for his previous dramas. His dramas are really good! Although the cost of the stand-in drama is low, it's low. point, but I guess I will still watch this drama tonight"

Similar discussions continued for Zhang Ning's entire journey. He paid attention to these discussions the whole time. After all, he is a loyal chess fan. Hearing that the player Zuo Wei in Qihun was praised by someone, it is natural that there is an inexplicable feeling in his heart. readily.

What manual!

As for the screenwriter Huang Jun, Zhang Ning didn't want to complain about him. I've seen three of his dramas before, and they all had a brilliant beginning and a dull ending.

If you want to say that his dramas have unfinished endings, that's not enough, but in short, they tend to have disgusting endings. Compared with them, he still feels that Jing Yu is more reliable, and the dramas that have been broadcast so far have no history of unfinished endings.

After returning home to take a shower, and then having dinner, it was almost time, so he stayed in front of the TV.

But one thing to say

Yunteng TV station is too much, right?

There is really no one to take care of the soul of chess and promote resources. Until 7:55, Yunteng TV's promotion of the soul of chess is two advertisements at a time. As long as you stay on Yunteng TV for two minutes, you will definitely You can see the advertisement and logo about the second season of Qihun.

On the other hand, the show "Stand-In" is like being raised by a stepfather.

The first episode was almost aired, and Zhang Ning didn't even see a single advertisement.

In Jingyu fan group

"Does anyone know what the stand-in promotional trailer is about? I'm dizzy. I watched Mr. Jing Yu on the talk show before and heard him say that this drama is very exciting, so I stopped on time tonight, but there is even a promotional trailer for the broadcast. None."

"I have a friend who works in Yunteng. He told me that Yunteng TV has seven dramas produced and broadcast this season, but all the funds in the station are used to promote the soul of chess."

"Then what about other dramas? Isn't it a bit awkward to produce and not promote?"

"Those dramas can only be played with their own hard power! Anyway, Yunteng's basic audience traffic is here. Even if it is a drama that is not promoted, as long as it doesn't crash with that kind of popular drama at the same time, 1% The above ratings are definitely there, as for how many, it depends on the quality."

"After all, Soul of Chess is too popular. It's not a big deal for the three major TV stations, but it's great for Yunteng. If it weren't for this show, it really didn't have any big actors, and the salary couldn't be paid out. But the scene is also true and there is no place to burn money, and Yunteng's investment in the second season of Qihun is definitely not as low as more than 50 million."

After a group of people in the fan group made fun of the group, it was time.

During the same time period, the audience rating of Imperial TV's "Manual" was as high as 5.79% before it started broadcasting

The spring season's Soul of Chess has really stimulated the three major TV stations. Everyone is afraid that the ratings of this season will be overtaken by the second season of Soul of Chess and become the fourth in the ratings. The investment and publicity of the main drama of this season are good , Compared with the previous quarter, it has improved a lot overall.

As for Yunteng here, because of the popularity of Jing Yu's fans, although the "stand-in" has not been fully promoted, Jing Yu's fans will come to support at least the first episode.

2.21% viewership rating at launch

Cheng Lie, who was watching the ratings data in the station, was relieved by this result, but it was only a sigh of relief.

After all, whether the ratings can be maintained or even improved depends on whether the plot of the next drama is attractive.

The TV screen changed, and the first episode of the stand-in was mentioned, but the screen flashed out.

There are some scary and eerie atmosphere filters, Zhang Ning feels a little depressed just by looking at them.

In the beginning, a man and a woman narrate chatting about some topics.

"Do you know Jian Qi? Jian Qi from Class 3 of the third year."

"Is there such a person in class three?"

"That was twenty-six years ago"

With a few short sentences, Zhang Ning's mood was introduced into the plot.

Twenty-six years ago, a girl named Jian Qi died unexpectedly in the school. The classmates who liked her couldn't bear it, and they were very sad, so one person suggested

It’s better to pretend that she is not dead, and still think that she is still alive, and her seat is cleaned regularly, and you can even greet her with the air in her seat

From then on, everyone in the third class pretended that the girl named Jian Qi did not die

Then, when it comes to graduation, Jian Qi's graduation seat is also prepared

"Then what?" the female narrator asked.

The bgm became tense and weird. Zhang Ning, who was alone at home watching TV with the lights off, got goosebumps for no reason.

He thought about it, what would happen if a person died, but the whole class thought she was alive?

From the perspective of scientific logic, it is certain that nothing will happen, but since it is said in the opening remarks of the film and television drama, it means that there must be an unusual development.

Could it be that?

She has come back? That girl named Jian Qi!

Thinking of this, Zhang Ning panicked.

Don't look at him as a strong man weighing one hundred and forty pounds, but who stipulates that a strong man cannot have a weak girl's heart?

"Do you want to know the follow-up?"

The male narrator in the TV series said hesitantly.

"Is there a follow-up?"

The story of the stand-in work begins here.
