Chapter 686 Penguin video of being beaten to high-level resignation + change of leadership

The crew of "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" is very embarrassed now.

At the beginning, he was boasting to the sky, and he seemed to be the savior of domestic dramas, punching "Old Nine", stepping on "The Negotiator", and dominating the summer season.

Let’s not talk about whether we can step on those two dramas now, but it was indeed stepped on by "Story of Yanxi Palace".

"Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" was firmly suppressed by "Story of Yanxi Palace" in terms of ratings, webcast data, network popularity, search volume, topicality, hot search discussions and many other results.

The dead girl has already made fun of him, and a recording of him has been posted on the Internet.

It sounds like a chat, or maybe a phone call. I don't know if someone else secretly recorded it, or if he just released it for publicity. Anyway, the wording is very sharp.

"Look at what our concubines are wearing on their heads. Look at what they are wearing. Oh, it feels so low. It's such a casual scene."

"You see, Mr. Zhou is quite old. He probably has hyaluronic acid filled on his face. He is not as good-looking as Dong Bailian."

"I asked around and found that their art fee was only 30 million. Our "Story of Yanxi Palace" was nearly 70 million. Not only was it twice as much, we had fewer episodes and fewer scenes. There were no big scenes. The 70 million was all real. It’s so funny when they compete with me.”

"There was an editor that I also used, so after watching some of their materials, I knew at that time that there must be people talking about this show."

"The person in charge of PPTV still treats them seriously and comes to me to discuss various publicity strategies. It is a waste of time and cannons to swat mosquitoes."

"..."

In short, it is probably to praise myself and belittle "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace".

It happened to be a recording, and apart from the two actors, no one named Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace from beginning to end. Even if there is a lawsuit and there is insufficient evidence, he can still explain that he was secretly recorded in private.

The recording effect of Dead Girl was good, which gave "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" a severe blow, and also caused the popularity of "Story of Yanxi Palace" to rise again.

Judging from the current trends, it’s hard to say which one will be more popular this summer: “Sweet Honey as Ashes as Frost” or “Story of Yanxi Palace”.

The former has more advantages at present, and it has a great influence among young people and has a lot of fans in the actor circle.

The latter, in particular, has a similar theme that attracts attention, creates a large number of topics, is frequently searched, and has a wider audience. Many viewers may not be interested in the romance between immortals, heroes, and ancient puppets, but they are willing to watch the harem.

In particular, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" has remained popular over the past few years, laying a deep foundation of popularity for palace dramas.

This should have been the basis of "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace", but it was cut off by "Story of Yanxi Palace".

Even Wei Yang was a little surprised that "Story of Yanxi Palace" became so popular.

He knew that this drama was very popular in his previous life, but he thought that there had already been a "Strategy of the Ming Palace" before, which must have had an impact on it, so he thought that it might not be able to achieve the results of his previous life, and that it would serve more of a check and balance. "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace".

As a result, he made some miscalculations. Even though "Strategy of the Ming Palace" had become popular, he still did not delay the popularity of "Story of Yanxi Palace".

Not to mention checking and balancing or even suppressing "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace", even "Sweet Honey Ashes Like Frost" seems to be a bit unmatched.

Boss Wei reviewed it carefully and found it understandable.

First of all, "Story of Yanxi Palace" is really good, and it can be said to be the well-deserved TOP1 small screen movie in 2018.

At that time, it could be said that the whole country was following the drama. People were watching Wei Yingluo in the streets and alleys. It was said that the entire Internet was looking forward to the death of Er Qing (the villain). Even the external Internet had a lot of popularity. Later, according to various search data, "Yanxi Palace" "Strategy" are all ranked first in relevant fields of the year.

Even "Strategy of the Ming Palace" adapted by Wei Yang won the annual ratings championship in 2016, breaking Boss Wei's five-year monopoly. It was also one of the most popular TV series of the year.

Although some settings and routines of "Strategy of Ming Palace" and "Story of Yanxi Palace" are the same.

However, the specific plots and styles of the two dramas are different. One is from the Ming Dynasty and the other is from the Qing Dynasty. They are in the same vein but are not exactly the same. They are more like sister chapters.

It is indeed inevitable to avoid some negative impacts, but at the same time, it also relies on the huge influence of "Ming Palace Strategy".

After all, whoever likes a certain work, but after watching it too much, wonders if there is a similar meal replacement.

A considerable number of viewers of "Story of Yanxi Palace" are fans of "Strategy of the Ming Palace". Some do not like it and even belittle it, but a considerable proportion remain.

Its own quality + "sister chapter" comes with popularity. The reconciliation with Wei Yang is highly topical. It also catches up with PPTV and Penguin War. The attention is off the charts and the publicity resources are full. The dead girl herself is desperately trying to get involved with "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" Porcelain hype...

With all these factors in place, the right time, right place, and right people, "Story of Yanxi Palace" has better conditions for becoming a hit than it did in its previous life. It would be strange if it doesn't become popular.

Some of Blue Whale's production teams are already wondering whether to take advantage of the situation and launch a "Harem Raiders" series.

After filming the Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty, we can film the Song Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, Han Dynasty and Qin Dynasty, such as "Tang Palace Strategy" and "Jiao Fang Strategy", monopolizing the harem theme.

The dead girl was also ready to make a move, although he always felt that he was not copying "Strategy of the Ming Palace", but colliding with Wei Yang for inspiration.

But as long as he can make money, he doesn't care about face.

Since he can reproduce "Story of Yanxi Palace", can he also "Chinese-Chinese" other Blue Whale hits?

"My Love from the Star" changed to "My Love from the Moon"

"Nirvana in Fire" was changed to "Lanling Single"

"The Journey of Flower" was changed to "Tree Ten Thousand Tendons"

This is just the wishful thinking of that dead girl. Not to mention that it is very difficult to make highlights and characteristics of "Chinese translation into Chinese", it is better to simply create original works, and Wei Yang will not let him ruin his company's classics.

Just kidding, he was in the wrong for "Strategy of the Palace of Ming", so he turned a blind eye. How could he let that dead girl plagiarize and borrow from it casually?

…

In any case, Wei Yang and PPTV are happy to see the popularity of "Story of Yanxi Palace", which is in their interests.

At most, there are some opinions within Blue Whale. The many high-quality dramas they carefully prepared for the summer season may have been snatched away by other dramas, and the initiator is still the dead girl who has been defeated by them for many years.

What a shame!

If her arrogance is not suppressed, PPTV will be laughed at in the future, and Boss Wei will be embarrassed.

Blue Whale is gearing up, and Penguin and the crew of Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace are not sitting still.

As expected, they want to play the word-of-mouth card.

Because of the lesson of "The Rise of Phoenixes", they are not stupid enough to scold the audience for not knowing how to appreciate it, but they are targeting "Story of Yanxi Palace", finding faults with the Mary Sue plot, and then praising some designs and performances of "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace".

In short, "Story of Yanxi Palace" is a fast-food drama, which is very enjoyable to watch, but actually has no connotation and is not worth mentioning.

If you ignore some unimportant slots in "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" and watch it patiently, you will find many different details, various connotations and intentions that make people think deeply. It is definitely an underestimated conscientious masterpiece.

Not to mention, this statement is still very bluffing, misleading many viewers and passers-by who don't know the truth.

In the previous life, with the development of time, even a conclusion was formed.

Many people who have not watched the two dramas think that "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" is better than "Story of Yanxi Palace", but the style is more literary. The reputation of the two dramas has reversed. Those who dare to express different opinions do not know how to appreciate them and are only worthy of watching rubbish dramas. Even "The Legend of Zhen Huan" has been criticized.

Until "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" became "Da Ru Biography", the reputation reversed again, and this so-called "classic harem drama" was spurned by the majority of netizens.

PPTV predicted the routine of "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace", and the response strategy was to launch "Undocumented Crime" to see who is the real high-quality boutique.

This trick is useful, but it cannot reach the point of digging the root.

After all, even if "Undocumented Crime" has a better reputation than "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace", it is just a bit higher than Penguin, and it does not prevent "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" from being a "boutique". Penguin has achieved a certain goal.

As mentioned earlier, Penguin is not short of money or traffic, but what it lacks is a representative work that can enhance the influence and attractiveness of the platform.

The card of "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" has been played for more than half of the time. The so-called summer war is also a complete defeat and a complete loss of face.

But if "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" can still be regarded as a word-of-mouth boutique, Penguin is not without some gains, and can still make some articles with it in the future.

There is a saying that you should help people to the end, send Buddha to the west, kill the whole family, and cut the grass to remove the roots.

It has come to this point now, so there is no need to leave any room, just do it thoroughly.

Wei Yang smoked a cigar, while arranging PPTV to launch "Undocumented Crime" to suppress "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace", and at the same time arranged for his confidants to find several UP hosts with the outline he personally made.

The skinning of "Da Ru Biography" was staged in advance!

With materials, popularity, and money, several UP hosts started to find faults with magnifying glasses.

Then the more I dug, the more surprised I was. This Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace is simply a bad drama in the guise of a "fine product". Zhou Gongzi, who was praised by fans and some drama fans, did have some highlights in his actual performance, but there were also countless complaints. On the contrary, Huo Jianhua, who was criticized by the fire, had some difficulties.

Although Wei Yang gave some outlines, they were just suggestions. The details were still left to the UP hosts to play freely.

At first, everyone made videos just to criticize the plot, and was very cautious about Zhou Gongzi, who had a good reputation among passers-by and many fans. As a result, the traffic became larger and larger, and he became more and more enthusiastic.

Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace and Penguin are not blind. Naturally, they found something wrong and immediately issued a lawyer's letter of warning.

This fell into Wei Yang's calculations, and he immediately started to lead the rhythm. The UP hosts did not dare to criticize, but some "enthusiastic passers-by" and enthusiastic passers-by stood up.

Penguin is really domineering, covering the mouth to prevent people from speaking.

The more you cover up, the more I curse. I was restrained before, but now I don't care about anything. I'm just spitting.

To be honest, this trick of forcing the audience to find faults with a magnifying glass is very immoral.

As mentioned before, no work can withstand such high-intensity criticism, including those masterpieces of Boss Wei, which can also be found to have many problems.

But then again, there is no perfect work, but most of the audience are not so picky.

As long as the plot conforms to the basic logic, there are not too many unbearable points, and even as long as it does not violate the plot, most of the audience are still very tolerant.

Is there no point in "Story of Yanxi Palace"?

There are too many, such as the death of the concubine by lightning, the death of the prince, and the palace maids can quarrel with the emperor. If compared with normal history, this is simply fabricated.

But the play has made some foreshadowing and details, and the basic logic can still be rounded off. Moreover, everyone knows that this is a refreshing drama, and some of the plots are not the core and key, so they will not be too harsh.

Even for many people, "Dead Girl" is synonymous with bad dramas.

This causes everyone to have low expectations when watching a drama, but after watching it, they find that the quality is not bad, and the surprise is greater than the fault finding.

"Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" is not treated so well.

One thing that must be pointed out is that "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" is different from "Story of Yanxi Palace". It does not claim to be a cool drama, but is benchmarked against serious dramas, and even claims to create classics.

Whether before or after the broadcast, it has been praised very highly, such as following history, such as amazing performances, such as wonderful plots, etc.

If you hold yourself so high, you will naturally be reviewed with high standards.

As a result, after a careful look, it is found that "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" is not as good as it is hyped, and expectations have turned into disappointment, and even a feeling of being deceived, and the criticism is even more severe.

In addition, the drama "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" does have a lot of problems.

The female lead is double-standard, which is actually okay. Most of the protagonists are double-standard, but "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" is a bit too double-standard. The taste of white lotus is choking, and the villains are all made into true temperament and inspirational models.

The plot is very inconsistent, and this is what the drama "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" got wrong from the beginning.

Find a woman that Emperor Qianlong hated the most in history, but portray her as Qianlong's true love. The plot cannot go against history, so isn't it inconsistent everywhere?

It's not impossible to shoot it this way. It can be blackened in both directions. If you want to make the heroine "true, good and beautiful", the plot will be completely irreversible.

There are countless points of criticism in costumes, props, performances, lines, historical conformity, plot and character settings, etc. These plots are at most ridiculed in ordinary dramas, but in a historical drama under the banner of classics, it is a slap in the face.

Let alone the ceiling of palace fighting "The Legend of Zhen Huan", even many lines and plots of "Story of Yanxi Palace", which is known as a cool drama, can be used to step on "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace".

Multiple platforms such as Bilibili, Zhihu, and Douyin have frequently made efforts, cutting and complaining in various ways, and the reputation of "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" has plummeted.

Douban's score rose from 6.9 points at the beginning, and once reached nearly 8 points at its peak, then fell to 7.5. Now it is declining all the way. Looking at this trend, it is not impossible to rush below 6 points.

In contrast, although PPTV's "The Undocumented Crime" which specializes in word-of-mouth has not reached the amazing level of "Day and Night Chase", it is also firmly above 8 points.

"Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" VS "Story of Yanxi Palace" + "The Undocumented Crime"

Failure!

Four battles and four defeats, and they were defeated miserably, without any ability to fight back, and even affected the stock price of Penguin Corporation to a certain extent.

Even if Penguin does not want to lose face again, it has to give an explanation to the internal and shareholders.

So, just entering September, the original head of Penguin Video announced his resignation, and there were internal rumors that Penguin Video's senior management would have a major adjustment.

This summer war undoubtedly ended with PPTV's victory, strongly maintaining its position.

Penguin Video's summer projects were completely wiped out, and the senior management was beaten to resign + change of leadership, which also made other platforms sad.

Who can stop the violent PPTV?
