Chapter 693 693. Final
The ratings of "Fated to Love You" hit a new high, breaking through 20 under the expectation of all.
The ratings of "Fated to Love You" finally broke 20, and it deserves to be the king of idol dramas.
"Fated to Love You" hit a new high in ratings, breaking through 20, which may become a permanent record for idol dramas in Taiwan!
Early the next morning, the entertainment media gave the front page headlines to "Fated to Love You", because in the twentieth episode last night, this idol drama finally created a record that almost no one can beat, with the highest ratings reaching 20.02 and the average ratings reaching 14.97.
Before "Fated to Love You" was broadcast, all the media people in Taiwan, including Zhongtian TV itself, did not expect that this idol drama would achieve such good results.
In this era, this achievement is definitely unprecedented, and there is a great chance that it will never be repeated. After all, in an era with more and more channels, the audience has more and more choices, and the ratings will continue to be pulled down. The ratings of 40 or 50 in the ancient times are almost impossible to exist in this era.
At this time when a rating of 2 is considered a popular program, the record of "Fated to Love You" with a high rating of 20 is destined to be admired.
On the blog, countless stars also sent congratulations, and "Fated to Love You" once again topped the hot search list and firmly occupied the first place.
Not only that, the day after the ratings of the 20th episode exceeded 20, good news came from the mainland. Wang Zhonglei told Nie Wei that this idol drama has been sold to Mingzhu TV at a price of 6.5 million per episode. The whole series has 24 episodes, totaling 156 million, plus one episode of super highlights, 4 million, exactly 160 million.
This price also surpassed the 100 million price record of "Boys Over Flowers" created by Huayi in China before.
This is only the first round of exclusive broadcast rights in the mainland. The remaining second round broadcast rights and other revenues will only be higher than this. If you count the overseas revenue, peripheral products and DVDs, the value created by "Fated to Love You" will bring Huayi at least 500 million yuan in revenue.
And the cost of shooting this idol drama is less than 50 million yuan. The benefits created by the idol drama are quite amazing.
And this is just the monetary benefits, which are visible figures. There are many benefits that people cannot see, such as stars.
Stars are also the wealth of the agency, so their popularity will also create value for the company.
With the broadcast of this idol drama, Chen Qiaoen, who was originally tepid, finally broke out her own reputation and became popular in Taiwan. She was crowned the queen of idol dramas by the media in Taiwan.
In fact, this title should have belonged to Chen Qiaoen. The previous record of Taiwan idol dramas was created by "The Prince Who Turns into a Frog" starring her, but that idol drama was mainly centered around the male protagonist. Even though Chen Qiaoen performed well in that idol drama, she was still suppressed by Ming Dao, who played two roles.
Until this "Fated to Love You", Chen Qiaoen finally became famous overnight.
When she returned to Taiwan, Chen Qiaoen envied Nie Wei's popularity at the airport. Now her little wish has finally come true. Now there are dozens or even hundreds of fans waiting downstairs of the hotel where she lives every day, just to get an autograph when Chen Qiaoen goes out.
As a new popular queen, there are countless manufacturers who want Chen Qiaoen to endorse.
Even though Huayi carefully selected, Chen Qiaoen still took on twelve endorsements in just one month. It's not that Huayi exploited her, but these endorsements are very helpful to improve Chen Qiaoen's image and popularity.
After creating a record of breaking 20 in the highest ratings in the 20th episode, Chen Qiaoen directly won the image ambassador endorsement of two international brands the next day, one for cosmetics and one for jewelry, all of which are the favorite endorsements of female stars.
After Chen Qiaoen took over these endorsement products, she has become one of the best actresses in Taiwan in terms of the quality and quantity of endorsements.
These endorsements not only brought Chen Qiaoen a better image and popularity, but also brought her financial benefits.
Chen Qiaoen, who was originally poor and in debt because of paying the penalty for breach of contract, is now a small rich woman. Even if these endorsement contracts share profits with the company and pay certain taxes, the money in Chen Qiaoen's hands still exceeds 6 million.
Converted into Taiwan currency, it is a full 30 million.
Chen Qiaoen really never dreamed that in just a few months, she would earn a huge amount of money that she would never dare to think of in her life. With so much money, the first thing Chen Qiaoen did was to buy a high-end apartment in Taiwan City.
This is her biggest wish since she came to Taiwan to work hard until now, but the income she has always made her feel that this wish is far away. Unexpectedly, after changing the company, it was realized so quickly.
As the saying goes, "A tree that is moved dies, but a person who moves lives". Chen Qiaoen truly realized how much benefit a powerful agency behind her would bring to her.
In addition to Chen Qiaoen, the biggest beneficiaries are Jing Tiantian and Wang Kai.
Especially Jing Tiantian, as the plot progresses, the character of Shi Anna is gradually whitewashed, and there are fewer and fewer online condemnations of her. Many of her former black fans have gradually turned into her popularity.
Originally, Jing Tiantian's appearance was very sweet. Even when she was being abused the most by netizens, there was still a group of fans who protected her. As the TV series got closer to the finale, more and more fans were attracted by Jing Tiantian's appearance.
Although many people criticized Jing Tiantian's acting skills for being obviously weaker than the other three protagonists, there is a saying that appearance is justice. In this idol drama, Jing Tiantian's existence as a vase has undoubtedly proved her value.
With the popularity of the TV series, Jing Tiantian has also received a lot of endorsements, especially in the areas of cosmetics and clothing. Obviously, they all took a fancy to Jing Tiantian's appearance and figure, but the girl was a little dissatisfied and felt that her acting skills were still remarkable. The problem was that the acting skills of the actors who played opposite her were too strong.
However, Jing Tiantian's fame also made Nie Wei feel that his thinking was correct. It's not that this girl can't be popular, but her choice of dramas is really problematic. Look at it now. Although she was only asked to play a vase, the result is that her popularity has increased greatly, isn't it?
As an actor, it's time to choose the right role at the right time, just like Lin Yifei, who also started from playing a vase and challenged more profound roles after accumulating popularity. So Nie Wei thinks that Jing Tiantian should be arranged to perform in idol dramas in the future, so that she can further accumulate her popularity and hone her acting skills. When everything is mature, it will be natural to arrange some profound roles for her.
As for Wang Kai, more of his fans are older sisters, but his contrast in and out of the drama has also won him a special group of fans, that is, gay fans.
This is not a rumor, but a real existence. Even this group of gay fans has created a fan group for Wang Kai on the Internet. The number of people who have joined has exceeded 2,000. For Taiwan, it is already a very large group.
Of course, as a straight man, Wang Kai was very upset. Although he felt grateful for the support of this group, he was not interested in their slogans.
In addition to these people, Nie Wei and Cheng Kun also gained a wave of popularity. However, they were already famous, and these fames were just icing on the cake. On the contrary, the ratings could be counted in their resumes and became a dazzling stroke.
Of course, in addition to these young actors, this idol drama has even brought changes to many senior actors.
For example, Meixiu, who plays Chen Xinyi's mother, is very popular with the audience in Taiwan because she speaks a very interesting local Hakka dialect in the drama, especially her most iconic "er" ending in the TV series, which has even become a popular phrase in Taiwan.
There is also Gui Yalei, who plays the grandmother. Because of this idol drama, the audience calls her the kindest and cutest grandmother. The grandmother Wang Zhenzhu in the drama can be said to have overturned the audience's impression of the strong parents in idol dramas. Not only did she not stop the heroine from pursuing her grandson, she even helped the heroine and protected her everywhere.
This change really made Gui Yalei like a lot of people. Gui Yalei even had her first fan group on her blog because of this. In just one month, the number of people who joined exceeded 10,000. The fans called themselves "milk powder". It was obvious that they became fans of Gui Yalei because of this grandmother role.
Because of this, Gui Yalei was very happy. She even talked to Nie Wei privately and asked her to play such a cute role in the future.
Of course, there is also Jiang Xin. In the early stage of the TV series, Jiang Xin's role was not outstanding because she rarely appeared. But in the later stage, Nie Wei specially arranged a love line for her, which was between her and the secretary Anson. The funny love between the two made many viewers suddenly like it, and also brought a lot of popularity to Jiang Xin instantly.
Jiang Xin finally had a popular base in Taiwan. What made Jiang Xin even happier was that Nie Wei also informed her that the heroine of the idol drama produced by Huayi in Taiwan had been appointed as her. After receiving this news, Jiang Xin really felt like a daughter-in-law who had been a daughter-in-law for many years and finally became a mother-in-law.
At the same time, Li Dawei, the director of this idol drama, also gained a lot of fame in the circle. During this period, Huayi has received several TV stations or production companies wanting to find Li Dawei to shoot TV dramas. If he takes all of them, it is estimated that Li Dawei will not need to think about resting for the next three years.
As for Li Dawei himself, he also has his own plans. He has applied for filming funds from the company. Next, he is not going to take idol dramas, or at least he will stop for a while, because he wants to launch another impact on the film industry.
Even during this period, Li Dawei has approached Nie Wei more than once, taking out the scripts he wanted to shoot and asking Nie Wei for advice. After reading the scripts, Nie Wei also thought that the creativity was good. If it is filmed, there is a great chance that it can get a good box office, at least it will not lose money.
Nie Wei's affirmation undoubtedly gave Li Dawei great confidence and made him more determined in his belief. After all, a director who doesn't want to be a movie director is definitely not a good director. Making movies, especially movies that can be released in normal theaters, is the ultimate pursuit of most directors.
As the ratings of "Fated to Love You" exceeded 20, the senior executives of Zhongtian TV came to the set again. To be honest, if it weren't for the big red envelope, the crew would have been annoyed a long time ago. I have never seen such a leader who loves to come to the set so much.
But it's useless to bother. As the filming of "Fated to Love You" is coming to an end, the senior executives of Zhongtian TV will definitely come. At least they will be present at the wrap-up party.
According to the filming schedule, "Fated to Love You" will complete the final wrap-up before the twenty-first episode is broadcast, and the wrap-up party will be held a week later. At that time, all the actors who are still filming and the artists who have already finished filming and left the group will gather together.
Zhongtian TV has also booked the highest-standard banquet hall in the best hotel in Taiwan, and is determined to celebrate the idol drama crew that has created a phenomenal achievement.
Of course, this move is also to show off the achievements of Zhongtian TV. You must know that "Fated to Love You" is not only invincible in the same period, but even when it is replayed, the highest ratings have created more than 10.
And the latest advertising fee, Zhongtian TV is obviously going to reap a lot of rewards. In Nie Wei's opinion, this idol drama may become the most replayed TV series on Zhongtian TV, just like "My Fair Princess" on Xiangnan TV.
Most people in the crew are reluctant to leave the upcoming filming.
After all, this idol drama has brought too many things to everyone in the crew, such as memorable scenes and glory, big red envelopes from time to time, etc., plus the atmosphere of the crew from beginning to end is very good, it really makes people feel reluctant to leave.
However, no matter how reluctant, this day has finally arrived.
The day before the 21st episode was broadcast, "Fated to Love You" also ushered in its own filming day.
There are only two scenes on the set today, which is also the final ending of this idol drama. It was chosen in a corner of a park with green grass and trees. With the permission of the park, the crew can shoot here in the next two hours.
Because of the need for confidentiality, the crew blocked the surroundings of the shooting site with cloth to ensure that it would not be exposed by passing tourists. Inside the cloth wall, Nie Wei and others were also making final preparations to try to complete this ending scene as soon as possible.
"It turns out that wearing a fake belly is so tiring." Although Chen Xinyi has the most scenes as a pregnant woman in the film, this is the first time she has worn a fake belly during the filming process. It must be said that this makes Xin Ling, who plays the second sister, envious. Most of her scenes in the play are when she is pregnant, so she is the female artist who wears a fake belly the most times in this TV series even though she has few scenes.
Thanks to Qiu Ye Liang Yue and Fantasy Paradise for their generous rewards.
