Chapter 265: Lock in the annual ratings championship in advance! (Please subscribe!)

The next morning.

Lin Xuan got up on time and went to the restaurant to have breakfast.

"I watched "The Family" last night."

As soon as he took a few bites, Zhang Ziyi sat over with a dinner plate.

In recent nights, Lin Xuan was busy giving psychological counseling to Liu Yifei and had no time to drive on the highway.

Zhang Ziyi is also very tired from filming and goes to bed very early every night, so the two of them are separated these days.

"Thank you for helping contribute to the ratings, and I will reward you with a poached egg."

Lin Xuan picked up the poached eggs on the plate.

Zhang Ziyi couldn't laugh or cry.

"She... I think her temperament is okay, but her appearance is really average."

Zhang Ziyi's expression was stunned and she quickly reacted.

Zhang Ziyi lowered her head and whispered softly.

Lin Xuan looked at the call record and asked, "Have the ratings for the premiere come out?"

The conversation was lively, and even Liu Dehua and Zhang Yimou joined in.

When people in the industry talk about TV series, they will not simply use "good" or "not good" to express them.

She watched two episodes last night and still didn't understand what was so attractive about Dong Jie.

After breakfast, everyone took the car to the set.

This can be seen from the current popularity on the Internet and the comments from viewers.

CCTV's eight TV series have exceeded 10 in their first broadcasts. This is the TV series with the best first-run results in the past two years.

After finishing filming the morning scene, Lin Xuan returned to the lounge.

When Zhang Ziyi was selected by Lao Mouzi to star in "My Father and Mother", wasn't it because of her temperament that she won.

As for the ratings of several other provincial TV stations, they were also in line with expectations.

"What you need is temperament."

The assistant handed over the phone.

Some of them have read a lot of films, and some of them have a hint of Korean and Taiwanese dramas.

Lin Xuan looked at Zhang Yimou not far away.

Maybe they don't like watching romantic dramas, but this is Lin Xuan's new drama after all, so they must watch two episodes to give it a try.

Dong Jie is the heroine appointed by Lin Xuan and Zhang Yimou, so how can anyone question their casting choice in person.

But in the drama "The Golden Family", Dong Jie's charm is far superior to Liu Yifei's.

However, for the other actors and creators of the crew, this is definitely the best drama they have ever participated in, and they will probably be excited for several days.

These viewers who like her just like her simple, innocent and simple temperament.

The director's picture tone is very comfortable, the male protagonist is cool and handsome, but the heroine is not chosen well. "

"Haha... it just comes to your mind. What do you think of this show? Can you give me a review?"

"Your reward is too worthless, and this is a cafeteria."

The camera scheduling, picture colors, plot rhythm, and casting and acting skills of this drama are all worth mentioning.

"Boss, I have received more than a dozen calls this morning, all to congratulate you."

The assistant nodded: "CCTV's ratings have exceeded 10, two provincial TV stations have exceeded 4, and one has exceeded 5."

Liu Yifei is definitely more beautiful than Dong Jie.

On the way, many people talked to Lin Xuan about "The Golden Pink Family".

Zhang Ziyi ate the poached eggs and thought for a moment: "Yes, I like this kind of love drama.

Lin Xuan picked a few people with whom he had good connections and specifically called them back.

…………

He didn't say anything yet.

"She is also a girl. Your words slapped me and Director Zhang in the face at the same time."

Lin Xuan nodded to show that he understood, and his expression was not particularly surprised.

Lin Xuan nodded and praised him for his good taste.

In recent times, the promotion of "Golden Family" has been extremely intense, and it is not unexpected to achieve such results.

Temperament is a very mysterious thing, invisible and intangible, but it is real.

Although "The Golden Family" is adapted from a novel of the Republic of China, the plot has been significantly changed and it has absorbed the advantages of Korean and Taiwanese dramas.

It makes the contradictions of the characters more prominent, the rhythm more smooth and compact, and it becomes more Mary Sue.

From the Spring Festival Gala chorus to a week-long promotion, there is also all-round promotion by the media and netizens.

When he finished his work, his cell phone rang again.

"It's really strange that a big star actually called me."

"Hehehe..."

Dong Jie's laughter came from the speaker of the mobile phone.

"Stop teasing me. How many people dare to call themselves big stars in front of you?"

"Don't be modest. Now your name is everywhere in online forums and in media and newspapers. You are already a big star."

"Hahaha……"

Dong Jie is in a great mood today.

I didn't talk to him for a few words and laughed three or four times.

Although she is a Mou girl, Zhang Yimou's "Happy Days" did poorly at the box office and did not win any awards.

However, the movie "The Golden Family" made her popularity soar to the sky.

She was so excited that she didn't sleep last night, and her phone kept ringing as if it was infected with a virus.

"Director Lin, I'm calling just to say thank you. Thank you for choosing me."

"Then you made the wrong call. It wasn't me who chose you to be the heroine."

Although Lin Xuan is the investor and starring, it is the director who ultimately makes the decision.

"You can't lie to me, I know your status in the crew."

"Okay, I accept your thanks."

He told the crew that no one could be fooled by this kind of thing.

"Verbal thanks are not enough. I want to give you a gift. Do you have any hobbies?"

Do hobbies...do women count?

"I don't have any hobbies, you can figure it out yourself. Besides, the gift is a surprise. If I ask you for it in advance, what kind of gift is it?"

"That makes sense. Then I will choose it myself. If you are not satisfied with the choice, you can't blame me."

"Haha, I don't blame you, as long as you have your heart set on it."

…………

"Golden Pink Family" airs two episodes every day, and several TV stations keep synchronized.

Many impatient netizens posted on the Internet.

[CCTV’s two episodes a day are like squeezing out toothpaste. Is there any TV station that shows more episodes? 】

[I don’t know, I want to ask this question too. 】

[I broke the channel change button, and I can tell you for sure that the progress of several TV stations is the same. 】

[What the hell is going on? When "Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" was released during the Spring Festival, there were seven or eight episodes in one day. 】

[That’s because some people don’t follow the rules. Normally, there are two episodes a day. 】

[If anyone has DVD resources, I can pay extra for them. 】

[I’m so confused after watching the drama. The TV station hasn’t finished broadcasting it. Where can I get the DVD resource? 】

[That is, unless you have a relative who is a high-level TV station, then just wait patiently. 】

Netizens searched around, but no one had the resources, and finally came back disappointed.

When purchasing the first broadcast rights of the TV series this time, several TV stations signed broadcast agreements.

The date on which the TV series will be broadcast, what time period it will be broadcast, and how many episodes will be broadcast every day are all written into the contract in detail. This is to prevent certain TV stations from doing whatever they can to grab ratings.

At the end of June, "Golden Pink Family" was halfway through its broadcast.

There is no lag in the ratings, and it has maintained a steady and progressive growth rate since its premiere.

The reviews from the media and audiences were mostly positive.

Lin Xuan played Jin Yanxi, the unlearned young man, to life.

Leng Qingqiu, played by Dong Jie, has received rave reviews.

Their relationship touched the hearts of countless viewers.

Every night, tens of millions of viewers stay in front of the TV on time, eager to know the follow-up.

After watching the two episodes of the TV series that day, netizens were still not satisfied, so they posted on the forum overnight to interact with other viewers.

[In order to chase a girl, he bought a house next door to her house. Jin Yanxi is worthy of being the son of the Prime Minister. He is really generous! 】

[Hahaha, Yanxi gave her a silk fabric, and Qingqiu just hung it up as a curtain. 】

[Qingqiu threw the lunch box he sent to the ground. Jin Yanxi almost cried when she saw the injustice. 】

[Qingqiu is a talented girl. She can't charter a car, deliver fabrics, or deliver delicious food, but writing poems touches her heart. 】

[All good things come to pass, but the two of them are finally together. 】

[When we went to visit the sunflower garden on our first date, I thought we were going to see a movie. 】

['I love you' is written on the handkerchief. I feel that this way of expressing my love is so tacky. 】

[It was too late to go home. The hotel only had one room. Jin Yanxi was very skillful in her little tricks to chase girls. 】

[Wow, the courtyard is full of lilies, no woman can resist this kind of romance. 】

[Confession banners are hung on the outer walls of the school. Gee, Mr. Jin has so many tricks. 】

[Everyone likes Leng Qingqiu, but no one likes Bai Xiuzhu? 】

[Those who are lenient in control, have a big temper, and have a short temper are only liked by masochists. 】

[I just like her. She looks much better than Leng Qingqiu. 】

[I agree, as long as your facial features are good, you can tolerate your temper no matter how bad it is. 】

Although not as good as the two protagonists, Bai Xiuzhu has won the love of many viewers with her sweet and cute appearance.

…………

The first half of "Jin Fen Family" mainly focuses on the love line between Jin Yanxi and Leng Qingqiu, and the audience is full of sweets.

That luxurious wedding and the wedding bed covered with lilies were the climax of the relationship between the two.

After that, as the plot develops, Jin Yanxi's useless nature is gradually exposed.

Not working, not studying, hanging out with friends all day long, leaving Leng Qingqiu alone in the empty room.

Some viewers began to hate this character, who was simply the Republic of China version of Jia Baoyu.

With these prodigal sons in the Jin family, decline will definitely be inevitable in the future.

As the TV series became popular, many businesses contacted the company and wanted to spend a lot of money to invite the two to attend events.

If they can appear at the same time, the price of commercial performances can be doubled.

Even Lin Xuan, a billionaire, looked at the numbers above with envy.

However, he was busy filming and couldn't spare any time, so he had to let Dong Jie go to commercials alone.

A few days later, Dong Jie called Lin Xuan excitedly and told her what happened during this period.

These days she is so busy that she can only sleep four hours a day.

The rest of the time is spent either catching up on announcements or receiving announcements.

Thousands of fans gathered at every venue.

In just one week, Dong Jie made millions by running crazy business performances.

This is still the income after sharing with the company.

She deserves to be the most popular actress in June.

Although Liu Yifei is not as popular as her, she has also received a lot of attention.

This kind of attention is not the kind of questioning her identity or teasing her special relationship with Lin Xuan, but a real fan.

Nortel had not yet had a holiday in June, and not long after the TV series was aired, the silly girl became a celebrity in the school.

Many senior students asked her for autographs and photos, and some even sent love letters.

When Lin Xuan heard the news, he thought that this senior brother probably wanted to go in and use the sewing machine.

Faced with these turmoils, Liu Yifei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she was actually very happy in her heart.

After one year in the industry, she finally became popular!

Her mother, Liu Xiaoli, finally came through.

In the past, although she called herself an agent, she acted more like an assistant.

Now, he finally looks like an agent.

Unlike Dong Jie who runs around doing business shows, Liu Xiaoli is very cautious in handling business orders.

Not only does it look at the quotation, but also the type of business performance. For merchants who are unsure, she also asks Chen Jinfei to help with back-up reviews.

Before Nortel was on holiday, Liu Yifei and her mother traveled all over the world to perform business.

Like Dong Jie, she also planned to use the money she earned to buy a gift for Lin Xuan.

…………

At the beginning of July, "Golden Pink Family" ushered in its finale.

From the beginning, the audience knew that Jin Yanxi and Leng Qingqiu were not suitable for each other.

Two people from different worlds, their love is destined to be fruitless.

But when the finale aired, many viewers still broke their guard, and the Internet was full of cries and curses.

[The director must be sick. Since the original plot has been changed, why not change the ending as well. 】

[You are right. When Jin Yanxi saw Leng Qingqiu at the train station, I thought they had really reunited. 】

[The two of them took the train at the same time, one heading south and the other heading north. Given the social background at that time, they would never have the chance to see each other again in this life. 】

[Hey, a woman and a child go to the south to make a living. I don’t know how much punishment she will suffer during this period. 】

[It’s hard to calm down. It’s really hard to calm down. I feel depressed after watching the ending. 】

[Even if you don’t change the ending, you can change it to an open ending, at least let the audience think about it. 】

[Bai Xiuzhu is so pitiful. Although she is unruly and willful, she really loves Jin Yanxi. Unfortunately, for the sake of her brother's political status, she can only be forced to marry abroad. 】

[Yeah, it feels like getting married to a foreigner from a foreign country. It’s so frustrating. 】

[It’s okay to feel aggrieved. Were there few such things during the Republic of China? 】

[The director and screenwriter are really inhumane. It will take me a few days to recover. 】

After the finale was broadcast, related discussions on the Internet once again surged.

In the original work, Jin Yanxi's libertine character and playboy nature are the fundamental reasons for the tragedy of their marriage.

However, in order to enhance the character's screen charm, the crew made drastic adaptations of the original work.

Jin Yanxi in the play always only loves Leng Qingqiu.

The love tragedy between the two was not caused by the intervention of a third party.

It is more caused by class antagonism, conflict of ideas, future development choices, and the special era of the Republic of China.

Such an adaptation makes their love tragedy much more sympathetic, especially among young audiences.

Just when the audience was feeling sad, the actors and creators of the show were excitedly congratulating each other.

According to data released by CCTV, the average viewership rating of the entire episode of "The Family" exceeded 12%.

This data was achieved on the premise of four stars for one drama.

Today, with the rapid growth of TV ownership, this number can only be described as staggering, almost locking in the annual ratings championship in advance.

Let’s talk about income.

The second-run rights to the TV series have all been sold, and the third-run rights are being negotiated for overseas rights. Collection DVDs are also being produced at an accelerated pace.

The main investment in this drama comes from CCTV and Lin Xuan Studio.

The two families made a fortune from the show.
