Rebirth Begins with a Manga Adaptation

"This is a good thing!"

In the studio, Cheng Lie's huge body was squeezed on the chair, and Jing Yu felt that he might crush the wooden chair with more force. Looking at the "Manual" reported on the Internet, the main creators of the crew sneered at the "stand-in" The whole show relied on bloody and violent scenes to attract ratings and comments, but Cheng Lie was very happy, and Jing Yu pointed to the news and said passionately.

"Where did the main creators of Imperial TV in the past come to criticize our dramas? They want to save face."

"You are very happy." Jing Yu said.

"That's natural. This proves that the other party really regards us as competitors! The ratings of the stand-in are so low, and they can't stand the other party. It shows that they are actually panicking." Cheng Lie said proudly.

To be honest, the results of the stand-in were indeed beyond Cheng Lie's expectations. As long as his stand-in's audience rating requirement was 1.7%, he would be satisfied.

Considering the pitifully low production cost of the stand-in, 1.3% and 1.4% are actually acceptable. Anyway, it is impossible for the TV station to recover the 9 million investment cost, and the advertising fee is expected to exceed that. The biggest cost of this drama is actually occupying a broadcast opportunity in a viewing period in the station.

However, the ratings of the first episode of the stand-in are really unexpected to Cheng Lie. Although he himself thinks the plot of the stand-in drama is very attractive, the "story that you think is very exciting" by the main creators may not be the market audience. We "recognized wonderful plot".

There is always a gap between the film and television crew and the market. No matter how many years you have been in the industry and how rich your experience is, your perception of the audience's preferences is always "guessing".

Guess their hobbies, and then shoot corresponding types of dramas based on the results you deduce. Therefore, there will always be so-called experienced old screenwriters. The producers guess wrong, and then lose their reputation.

But Jing Yu was not like this. The script he produced seemed to naturally fit the appetite of the audience, as if it had been verified by the market in advance and would indeed be loved by people.

Just like Soul of Chess, how can an ordinary screenwriter of this kind of drama dare to guarantee that my drama will be popular after filming.

Go, the subject matter is indeed too biased! You may have fun creating it yourself, but in fact it may just be self-indulgent, and the audience is not interested at all.

But Jing Yu has been very confident that the show will be popular since the first filming of Qi Hun, and the stand-in is also the same. Jing Yu has revealed to him more than once that the audience will never abandon the show because of some bloody elements in the game. It's like a prophet generally.

Of course, it was impossible for Cheng Lie to know that the works that Jing Yu presented were all works that Jing Yu had passed in the market in his previous life and were recognized by most people, they were not created out of thin air and had not passed the market test.

"But Steins;Gate"

When it comes to this drama, Cheng Lie is more worried.

Of the three dramas in the summer season, Needless to say, Soul of Chess, more than 50 million yuan has been allocated for filming in the station, and a lot of extra money has been spent on promotional funds, although it is not as good as the promotional efforts of the main dramas of the three major TV stations. , but not much less.

But Steins;Gate, the investment cost is more than twice that of the stand-in, and now the stand-in's ratings are 2.64%. If Steins;Gate is too low, it will be a bit embarrassing.

"Well, don't worry, Producer Cheng. Good works often need time to test. I chose to make a stand-in for this work and I have been mentally prepared. The fifth episode of this show will really see the outcome." Jing Yuyi Pat Cheng Lie on the shoulder.

The long foreshadowing Jing Yu in the original Steins;Gate compressed him into the extended series of the first four episodes.

Each episode lasts more than an hour, and every week, two episodes are simulcast, which is different from what the audience of the animation of Jingyu's previous life Steins;Gate felt.

The animation viewers in the previous life were tortured for more than ten weeks, and it took nearly three months to finally see what kind of story this work really wants to tell.

Jing Yu artificially controlled it to two weeks, and after the first two weeks passed, he returned to the narrative rhythm of one episode a week.

"Anyway, I believe in your vision, Mr. Jing Yu. You have assured me that this work of Destiny Stones Gate is very good, and you don't even lose the soul of chess in your heart. I believe in you, although I don't know it now. The follow-up plot of this drama. It's just a pity that I can't convince the senior management of the production department to believe in this work, otherwise the investment of Steins;Gate will not be limited to this." Cheng Lie said with a regretful expression.

"Producer Cheng. Most audiences have an eye for discovering good works. Higher production costs and more publicity will indeed make Steins;Gate spread its influence faster. But even if there is no Those, I believe this work will not be lost to everyone."

"After all, Yunteng is not Jinhui, and I, Jing Yu, am not the unknown Jing Yu a year ago! I believe that the fans I have accumulated in the past few works have the patience to bear me being bored for two weeks in one drama. , there are still." Jing Yu said with a smile.

Ten o'clock in the evening, the same broadcast time as the first season.

The first episode of the second season of the Soul of Chess, successfully launched in the anticipation of the fans of the Soul of Chess for three weeks.

However, at the same time, the three major TV stations, Xingtong, Didu TV and Vision, all arranged a self-produced drama to be broadcast at the same time.

And the other three in the six major villages also started to rebroadcast the classic film and television dramas produced by the previous TV stations.

Just like Journey to the West in Jingyu's previous life, no matter how many times it is replayed, there will always be old viewers who are willing to watch it once, twice, three times, ten times.

The ratings of reruns of classic dramas are not necessarily high, but generally not much lower.

The six majors have been competing with each other for decades. Although they dislike each other, Yunteng wants to rise? That can't make you feel so good! It must be something that everyone will target more or less.

These behaviors did have a certain impact on the ratings of the premiere of the second season of Qihun.

Before the broadcast of the second season of the game soul, Yunteng TV's ratings were 5.31%

Although this result is a little less than the highest ratings of 6.3% in the first season of Soul of Chess, it is basically on the same level as the premiere of the main dramas of the three major TV stations.

The plot of the first episode of the second season of Chess Soul basically follows the previous plot, starting from the Jingguang professional competition.

The protagonist Jing Guang is easily affected by his mentality, so he meets with some good friends He Gu, Yin Jiao and others in the dojo to go to a complicated place like a chess hall for special training to exercise his mentality that is prone to stage fright in competitions.

But in the process, I met a talented young chess player from a country that eats kimchi on the next peninsula near the Dazhou border.

The teacher of the Go department of the Experimental Middle School praised Jing Guang's chess skills in public, which made him believe that Jing Guang was indeed the chess player Yu Liang had been chasing.

Of course, the future ending of Jing Guang and Zuo Wei has already been hinted here.

Jing Guang's growing strength now makes others believe that the chess that Zuo Wei once played was played by Jing Guang himself.

This episode has a lot of space and is all about one thing.

Zuo Wei, what is the meaning of his existence!

In the past, he commanded Jing Guang to play chess for him, but others did not believe that Jing Guang played the chess.

But now, others think that the chess Zuowei played in the past was played in the current situation, so does Zuowei really exist in this world?

Others couldn't see him, couldn't hear his voice, and even the chess he played was replaced by Jing Guang.

The atmosphere is slightly heavy

But the silly viewers still watched this episode happily.

After all, Jing Guang's growth is obvious to all. From a rookie in the first episode, he has grown into an existence that can make professional chess players feel headaches.

Afterwards, Jing Guang's professional chess players will also win consecutive battles in the main match.

The tone of the second season of Soul of Chess is basically set, and a large part of it is about professional chess players' competitions.

The average ratings of this episode of Soul of Chess skyrocketed in the later stages of the episode, because the six major dramas failed to attract too many viewers, and many viewers came to Yunteng TV halfway.

Therefore, although the audience ratings of this episode of Chess Soul were mediocre at the beginning, the final average ratings still reached 5.81%.
