Chapter 681 681. Unprecedented progress

Unlike in the mainland, Huayi's idol dramas have no serious competitors in the mainland.

But Taiwan is different. The idol dramas here developed many years earlier than in the mainland, and there is a very mature market. Each TV station also has its own idol drama production team.

There are two idol dramas being broadcast at the same time as "Fated to Love You", one is "Love Found Here" from CTS.

The other is "It Starts with a Kiss 2" from CTV.

"It Starts with a Kiss" is nothing. It has been five episodes, and the ratings have never exceeded 1. It is "It Starts with a Kiss 2" from CTV that is undoubtedly a strong rival of "Fated to Love You".

The reason why "It Starts with a Kiss" performed so poorly is that it was suppressed by "It Starts with a Kiss 2" in the same time slot, in addition to its mediocre production.

After all, this idol drama is the orthodox sequel of the highly acclaimed and highly rated "Itazura na Kiss" from Taiwan. Not only does it continue most of the cast of the first part, but it is also a top-notch work in terms of its own quality. In addition, this idol drama is adapted from the popular comic of the same name, and has a very strong fan base. It has been ranked first in the same period since its release.

If that were the case, "Fated to Love You" would face "Itazura na Kiss 2", which has already entered the climax stage of the plot. Even though Zhongtian TV is very optimistic about Nie Wei's idol drama, it is actually worried about his premiere performance.

However, all these worries disappeared when the premiere ratings of "Fated to Love You" came out.

The average rating was 3.97, and the highest rating was 5.11, ranking first in the same period. The average rating of "Itazura na Kiss 2", which was originally maintained at around 3, fell sharply to 2.16 due to the premiere of "Fated to Love You".

Looking at "Love Here", the ratings that night were even more pitiful, only 0.47%, and it was obviously not far from being cut.

Nie Wei was happy about this result, but he was not complacent, because Nie Wei knew very well that he could achieve this good result mainly because of his and Cheng Kun's popularity. It was normal for the popularity of the two to get such a start. It would be news if it was lower.

In addition, the news heat of this idol drama was very high before the filming started, which further attracted the curiosity of the audience, and the next few episodes were the critical period for "Fated to Love You" to accept the market test.

Nie Wei thought it was a normal result, but for the entertainment industry in Taiwan, this was big news.

"Nie Wei's new drama "Fate" has won the ratings championship, and no one can beat it in the same period!"

"The first broadcast broke 5, "Fate" is creating a miracle for Taiwan idol dramas."

"Fate I Love You" made a big mistake at the beginning of the broadcast, which triggered a ratings explosion!"

"Fate I Love You defines the 'Post-it Girl' and caused a huge social impact."

The entertainment section of the day left a place for "Fate". The first broadcast ratings broke 5, which is the strongest record in the history of Taiwan idol dramas. Although it is not known what kind of results this idol drama will achieve in the future, this opening ratings record is enough to be recorded in the history of Taiwan idol dramas.

Zhongtiantai naturally celebrated this achievement, and its back, which was originally weak in the field of idol dramas, instantly straightened up.

Facts have proved that the cooperation with Huayi or Nie Wei is the most wise decision they have ever made. Although this kind of cooperation will give up a lot of benefits, compared with the past when they could only watch other companies eat this piece of cake, now they can finally enjoy this piece of cake, and they have squeezed out many seemingly powerful competitors before, occupying the main position with a dominant attitude.

The most critical thing is that the audience brought by the success of this idol drama, in the process of chasing the drama, some of them will subtly become loyal users of Zhongtian TV, and as long as this kind of cooperation with Huayi is maintained, these users will increase, which is the long-term benefit for the TV station, and even the key to survival and even development.

But for the opponent, this is not a good thing.

The atmosphere of the TV series department of China Television was extremely heavy that day. The main creators of the crew were notified to come to the TV station for a meeting early in the morning to discuss how to deal with the impact of "Fated to Love You".

When Qu Youning, the director of "Mischief 2", rushed to the meeting room, the head of the TV series department of China Television could not wait for him to sit down, and asked immediately.

"Do you think "It Started with a Kiss 2" has a chance to overtake again?"

Hearing this question, Qu Youning paused and stood in front of his chair, his face full of entanglement. After a while, he answered: "I will try my best."

Hearing this answer, everyone at the scene showed a disappointed expression.

Just the word "try hard", in fact, it can be heard that Qu Youning's inner confidence is not enough, otherwise it should not be "try hard", but "have confidence".

Looking at the disappointed expressions of everyone, Qu Youning also had no words to complain about his bad luck.

In fact, although "It Started with a Kiss 2" has also suffered some criticism since its launch, its overall reputation is still good and its performance is also very good. Except for the first few episodes, it has always maintained the first place in the same period.

But who would have thought that they would encounter an idol drama like "Fated to Love You".

Qu Youning also watched the first episode of this TV series, and he had to admit that such an 'unexpected start' was really creative, breaking the traditional idol drama's step-by-step love process from confession to holding hands to kissing. , a 'home run' came directly, and it is expected that the following will come anyway.

This practice of getting on the bus first and then paying for the ticket really made Qu Youning sigh all night long.

From this opening chapter, Qu Youning can conclude that as long as the writing is not too bad and the performance is normal, the results of this idol drama will not be bad, let alone the writing will be bad? Qu Youning feels that this possibility is really small. After all, the screenwriter's name is Nie Wei. The meaning of these two words is definitely very important to the Baodao entertainment industry.

After all, the Golden Horse Award for Best Screenplay for so many years has been won by the person behind this name. It can be said that in the eyes of Baodao Entertainment people, Nie Wei is the spokesperson for gold medal screenwriters.

If it's just about the plot, forget it. After all, "Destined to Love You" has just begun, and his "Prank Kiss 2" has already reached the key part. This is an advantage, but the actors in the drama "Destined to Love You" The lineup, however, wiped out all the advantages of "Mischief 2".

Although "Mischief 2" has the little queen of local idol dramas like Lin Yichen and popular niche actors like Zheng Yuanchang, compared with the starring cast of "Destined to Love You", it is not much different.

The popularity of Cheng Kun, the second male lead in "Destined to Love You" alone, exceeds the combined popularity of Lin Yichen and Zheng Yuanchang, not to mention that the lead male lead in "Destined to Love You" is played by Nie Wei. Asia's top male star will take on the role.

The heroine is also not ordinary. Although Chen Qiaoen is not as popular as Lin Yichen in Baodao, this woman seems to be very lucky. The ratings of all idol dramas she participates in are very good. Just this 'luck', Enough to make Qu Youning envious.

Therefore, Qu Youning really has no idea whether he can regain the throne of ratings champion.

"Director Qu will arrange the filming schedule when he returns. We will arrange for the leading actors Lin Yichen and Zheng Yuanchang to appear in more variety shows. In addition, we can also hold meetings for TV series fans in several major counties and cities. I hope this will have a positive impact on TV dramas have helped a lot," a TV station executive said with a sigh.

These words seem to give a solution, but in fact it is just a helpless solution. This method is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst. It can only have a temporary effect, and it may not be useful.

Qu Youning returned to the crew and continued to catch up. After all, the filming had to be accelerated to give the lead actor time to promote.

With Qu Youning's departure, the first meeting was declared over, but the discussion on how to save the ratings of his TV station's idol drama did not end.

In the office of the head of the TV drama department, several supervisors gathered together, all looking sad.

"Do you want to try to discredit the other party?" Suddenly a person said with a ferocious face.

After hearing this person's words, many people's eyes lit up and looked excited, but the head of the TV drama department just frowned and denied it.

"That's inappropriate. Not to mention that we don't have any leverage against the other party. Even if we do, you have to consider the opponent. It's not just Zhongtiantai, but also Huayi Company. If we use small moves, it will affect us. The relationship with Huayi Company will become a big obstacle if we seek cooperation with Huayi in the future.”

In his opinion, the cooperative relationship between Huayi and Zhongtiantai is obviously not long-term. If his own TV station can offer a higher weight, it may not be able to attract Huayi.

Of course, the most important thing at the moment is to consider how to deal with the impact of the TV series "Destined to Love You". After all, this TV series has only aired its first episode. According to the standards of idol dramas, the ratings of this TV series are great. TV series usually take about 20 episodes, which can last for five months.

If you can't come up with any good ideas in the past five months, then these five months will undoubtedly be the days of dire straits for your department.

"We can't wait any longer. Let's prepare for the next idol drama. We need to invite more important stars to star. Find them for me, no matter how much it costs." In the end, the person in charge of the TV drama department was cruel. Since "Prank" 2" has no hope of overtaking, so it is better to look forward to the new TV series, maybe it can create a miracle.

On the other hand, China Television, which had the worst performance, was quite calm because they had already made plans to cancel the idol drama "Love Is Here".

"How many episodes of this TV series have been filmed now?"

"Eight episodes."

"Then tell the writer and director that the ten episodes are over."

"clear."

It only took ten minutes for China Television to make this decision from start to finish, but when the news was notified to the crew, it was like a bolt from the blue.

After hearing this announcement, several young actors simply hugged each other and cried bitterly. The director did not cry, but the frustration on his face was so obvious that everyone couldn't help but sigh after seeing it.

"Yan Xi, don't be sad. Who made our opponent Nie Wei?" Wang Chuan, who plays the second male lead in this idol drama, gave a pack of tissues to the girl with whom he has collaborated most in this drama while comforting him. road.

The girl was still crying, but she heard Wang Chuan's words, and Nie Wei's name was engraved in her mind. It was this person who experienced being cut in half in a TV series for the first time. She was afraid she would never forget it in her life. That's the name.

On the other hand, Zhou Yumin, the leading male of the show, had a gloomy face after hearing the news, and then he left the set in a nanny car.

The staff hurriedly informed the director. After all, the shooting task today had not been completed. What if the protagonist ran away?

But after hearing the news that Zhou Yumin had left, the director opened his mouth several times, but did not say a word. Finally, he sighed and waved his hand helplessly to the crew, indicating that it didn't matter.

In the director's view, the crew's morale has been scattered, and the team can't be led. Even he himself has no intention of filming. The cut of this drama has directly affected his reputation. Will there be any TV station looking for him to film next? He has no idea.

When all the opponents were in a gloomy mood, the atmosphere of the crew of "Fated to Love You" was simply sunny.

All the staff members were smiling, and the actors gathered together to chat excitedly after the show. After all, the premiere yesterday broke 5, and everyone was very happy.

The whole crew presented a relaxed and positive atmosphere, and the good mood also made everyone in a better state when acting, especially for newcomers like Jing Tiantian and Wang Kai. The good results gave them great confidence, and they were naturally able to show their strength when acting.

Time passed by little by little, and another week passed unknowingly. "Fated to Love You" will also usher in the second episode.

On this day, many friends turned on the TV to Zhongtian TV early to wait. After the first episode was broadcast, a large number of fans of the TV series "Fated to Love You" appeared on the Internet. Compared with those who initially paid attention to the TV series because of the stars in the play, they are all viewers who have already focused on the TV series itself.

And the content of the second episode of "Fated to Love You" did not disappoint them.

It is not uncommon for the two to meet again after they separate, but the subsequent development of the plot is beyond the expectations of all the audience. No matter how hard they racked their brains, they could not have imagined it. They thought that the "home run" in the first episode was already beyond imagination, but they did not expect that just ten minutes into the second episode, the plot announced that your favorite heroine, the sticky note girl Chen Xinyi, is pregnant.

Thank you for the 2000 reward from the half-demon god.
