Rebirth Begins with a Manga Adaptation

The next day, Cheng Lie and his assistant looked at the detailed ratings report in the crew, with a heavy expression on his face.

However, the ratings of the eighth episode of Chess Soul last night made him both happy and anxious.

Happily, even if Soul of Chess was attacked by three dramas with ratings of 2%-3% at the same time, the impact on the ratings was only about 0.6%, which was more than 1% lower than expected. It's much better, the most important thing is that the ratings of Chess Soul didn't drop below 5%.

This is due to the quality of the soul of chess itself, as well as Jingyu's outstanding results in the exchange meeting last week, which has brought a wave of popularity to the soul of chess. It is conservatively estimated that the ratings of the soul of chess will increase by more than 1% due to the event of the exchange meeting. , but the rise in ratings it causes will have a hysteresis effect.

What Cheng Lie is angry about is the shamelessness of the three TV stations. Obviously, the dramas of the three TV stations have been more affected, and the three TV stations can do things like hurting the enemy by 800 and hurting themselves by 2,000. It really disgusts Cheng Lie .

As for Jing Yu, he seemed very calm about the results of the eighth episode of the soul of chess.

"Those things happened, we can only accept it." Jing Yu did psychological work for Cheng Lie first.

"These small tricks they use are only temporarily stopping the pace of the ratings increase of the soul of chess. Our focus is still to watch the second season of the soul of chess."

"By the way, Mr. Jing Yu, I have already talked to the minister about the new summer drama you mentioned before. He asked me to let you know that as long as the script passes the review, the shooting plan of the new drama can be approved. But, under the desk calendar The quarterly funds will be fully provided to Qihun, and the investment in your other scripts will not be very high."

"Understood." Jing Yu said.

"Then can I ask specifically. How much financial support does the producer estimate that Taili will provide for each of my new dramas in the next season?"

"Because Mr. Jing Yu, you clearly stated that you want to broadcast the main drama head-to-head with the three major TV stations at the same time. In this case, the financial support of the station will most likely be less than 20 million, and under normal circumstances it will be 15 million." While talking, Cheng Lie realized something was wrong.

each.

every one?

"No, let me ask in advance. Teacher Jing Yu's words just now seem to be plural. Do you expect to create more than one drama in the next season besides Chess Soul?"

"Well, there are a total of three of the three major TV stations! Since we want to fight back, we must not let any one go." Jing Yu took a sip of tea.

"For me, I can create more than three scripts, but I definitely can't do it alone. I need the screenwriter team to help me, as well as the support of the film crew."

"Ahem, cough, you are not joking!" Cheng Lie choked.

"Uh, I'm not joking, oh" Jing Yu realized something.

This is too exaggerated, creating four dramas at the same time, including the soul of chess.

"Of course, it is said that there are three dramas, but they are actually dramas that I have conceived a long time ago, instead of constructing the plot from scratch." Jing Yu explained.

Otherwise, Cheng Lie must have doubted whether Jing Yu could do this.

"Impossible, Mr. Jing Yu, it is impossible for the station to allow you to create four dramas at the same time. I don't have to ask the minister, he will never agree. For him, if you have this little energy and time, why don't you improve your chess spirit?" Even if the script of the soul of chess is worried that the quality of the script of the soul of chess will be reduced due to the lack of energy of Teacher Jing Yu, Minister Meng Yu will never agree to such a thing." Cheng Lie quickly persuaded Jing Yu to dispel this idea.

Jing Yu thought for a while after hearing this, and then said.

"Then what about the two? Except for the two dramas of Soul of Chess."

"Two. If it doesn't affect the quality of the Soul of Chess script," Cheng Lie said after a moment of hesitation.

"You can fight with Minister Meng."

"It's just...Mr. Jing Yu, why are you so positive about this matter? Anyway, you won't get a big investment from the station, and the support your new drama will receive in the station will be far less than that of Qihun, and you will be too distracted on it. It's not worth it!" Cheng Lie said a little more.

"Producer Cheng. This is a matter of principle!"

"The other party uses this method to affect the ratings of Qihun. If they don't return it in the same way, they will always feel unhappy. Xingtong TV can forget it for the time being. The drama that Xingtong sent to snipe Qihun last night was one of the three dramas. The one with the worst grades will have a chance to talk about it in the future, but the head of the production department of Imperial Capital TV and Mirage... these two days are still talking nonsense in the news media, criticizing the soul of chess in various ways." Jing Yu said.

"Because Xingtong's "Fireworks" this season's results are really good! Now the average ratings have broken 7%, and there is still a big gap between the soul of chess and there is no sense of urgency, so the sniping of the soul of chess is naturally the least aggressive. This is amazing It's not because it has good intentions. That's why it didn't come off the stage to speak ill of Qihun." Cheng Lie explained.

"I don't think about those, I just look at the facts. If the shooting plan of the two new dramas can pass through April, we will target the main dramas of Didu TV and Vision."

Jing Yu looked at Cheng Lie's hesitant expression, and then said.

"I know what producer Cheng is thinking. Do you think that even if everything goes well, if a small-budget drama collides with two next season's main dramas, it is likely to be run over by the opposite party as a toy car. How can we talk about making it for the other party? Trouble? For the other party?"

"I do have this idea." Cheng Lie didn't shy away.

"So in order to avoid that situation, if the script is reviewed and approved, if you ask Producer Cheng to help form a new crew, the low-cost drama may not necessarily lose. The script may not be as good as the soul of chess, but it will definitely not be used as cannon fodder. " Jing Yu said with a smile.

In a few days, the ninth episode of Chess Soul was broadcast

The rhythm of the drama Soul of Chess, relatively speaking, if the left is the disappearance as the node, the plot close to this node is very exciting, and then there is the entanglement between Jing Guang and Yu Liang at the beginning, which lasts until Jing Guang prepares to participate in professional chess through learning. hand exam

The plot of these two parts is very exciting, but the plot of Jing Guang's growth and learning in the middle is slightly inferior.

Because of the plot of Jing Guang's growth in the middle, the interaction plot between him, Zuo Wei, and Yu Liang has become less.

There are fewer and fewer parts where Zuo Wei plays chess, and it is easy to make the audience feel uncomfortable. After all, most people follow dramas to watch Zuo Wei play chess. The plot of Jing Guang's growth is of course very good, but the length is too long It is easy to be aesthetically fatigued if it is long.

Therefore, this part of the plot scene is appropriately compressed. It makes the plot more compact, so it is not bad, and the audience's evaluation basically does not decrease.

But the ratings, the ninth episode averaged 5.68%

The people in charge of the three major TV stations also sighed when they saw this.

The three TV stations brought in three non-main dramas to snipe the soul of chess, and that's just the effect, which can be regarded as offsetting the increase in the ratings of the soul of chess for two weeks.

But that's about it.

The ratings of "Blade of the End", which is currently ranked third in the ratings, has a relatively large increase due to the climax of the later stage, and it has reached 5.91% this week.

There are still three weeks, and basically the episodes broadcast by major TV stations will end.

In the last three weeks of the spring show of Soul of Chess, until now, the increase in ratings is also slowing down.

If there are no major surprises, the final average ratings of the first season of Qihun will be the fourth in this quarter.

It is no longer a threat to the top three dramas

If it hadn't been for the sniping of Qihun in the past two weeks, and Qihun's growing popularity with Jingyu's exchange meeting, maybe the average ratings have already rushed to more than 6% and challenged the second-ranked "Desperate Gambler".

When the time comes, the average ratings will be calculated as soon as the settlement is completed. Maybe Ending Blade will be overtaken by Qihun.

As for the second season of Chess Soul.

At this time, the three major TV stations no longer dared to underestimate Yunteng and Jing Yu. During this period of time, key words such as chess soul and Jingyu Yunteng were frequently mentioned in meetings on stage.

And Jing Yu, in the process of filming Soul of the Game, was also thinking about the choice of the so-called new drama.

Since the broadcast of Soul of Chess, it has brought him millions of fans, but after all, Yunteng has also made it clear that he will not invest too much in dramas other than the second season of Soul of Qi in the next season, and neither will Jing Yu. It may be too bad for him to exchange those works of high value.

Moreover, the style of the next season's main dramas of Emperor Capital TV and Vision has also been established, and the publicity has already begun during this period.

Imperial TV's main drama for the next quarter is a suspense drama, while Vision is a suspense romance drama.

Well, fans of film and television dramas in Dazhou, there are quite a lot of people who like suspense dramas!

Naturally, Jing Yu also considered this aspect.

Jing Yu was thinking in his mind

Although theoretically speaking, Jing Yu has many choices at this time, but considering the exchange price and Jing Yu's preferences

Plus the word suspense

Jing Yu was deeply impressed by Steins;Gate and another two works

Of course, it is also fine when ghouls and cicadas cry, but Jing Yu feels that people in Da Zhou may not like the styles of the latter two. The suspense element is slightly weaker, and it tends to be ghosts, scary and chilling. It is a little difficult to understand when you watch it for the first time. Jing Yu worried that most audiences in Dazhou would not understand enough when adapting a film and television drama.

But Steins;Gate is slow to heat up, and the length of another is not enough to make it into a season of film and television dramas.

Jing Yu went to ask Cheng Lie.

"Slow heat? That's okay! Anyway, it's a low-budget drama, and the station won't give a lot of investment. As long as the final ratings Mr. Jing Yu can feel that the ratings of the work will not directly lead to a slow rise, the ratings will die suddenly, and the later stage will not increase. Get up, then it's fine." Cheng Lie didn't take it seriously.

"As for the short and medium-length dramas whose plot length is not enough for one season, it is also simple. The way to deal with this kind of work is to replay it once and then play it again, or play other short and medium-length dramas to make up the broadcasting time of one season. Don't worry. A successful mid-length drama is far more valuable than a mediocre long-form."

"Ah, so casual?" Jing Yu had a weird expression.

"It's not the main drama of the station, and the investment will not be very high. In addition, Mr. Jing Yu is an accomplished screenwriter, so the stage still has the courage to try and make mistakes. Compared to the ten dramas, as long as Mr. Jing Yu dares to say that the ratings can be guaranteed, the TV station will definitely bet on it."
