Chapter 774 The Strongest Weekly Drama
"What? It's actually a weekly drama! And it's only one episode a week?"
The official statement of Zhongyuan Film and Television just came out, which caused a huge sensation!
Originally, many people were looking forward to this TV series created by science fiction master Lin Han and the conscientious producer of the Chinese drama, but they were told that it was actually a weekly drama.
One episode a week is completely the way to do American and British dramas!
Of course, there are also weekly dramas in China, but they usually broadcast three or four episodes weekly, and they are played for two consecutive days. There is no real way to do one episode a week.
Of course, there may be some, but the ratings and topics will definitely be lost, otherwise you will have to become famous.
The excitement of netizens was just raised when they were poured into cold water!
"I was looking forward to it, but one episode a week is simply anti-human, okay? Can this make people live?"
"Since it's a weekly drama, does that mean you can see the movie without waiting for a year? You can see it on TV or website after a few episodes of the TV series?"
"It's easy to lose the trouble when learning American things rashly. I hope it's not so hasty."
"Why are everyone so tolerant of American dramas and can accept it one episode a week, but it doesn't work on our domestic TV series? This is simply a double standard!"
"As long as you shoot it, we will watch it!"
"Have the starring confirmed?"
When faced with weekly dramas, many people adopt a skeptical attitude, probably because they are being harassed.
Most mainland audiences are actually used to the traditional daily broadcasts. They can see their favorite TV series by turning on the TV every day, and they can finish watching this TV series in half a month!
If you want to broadcast a weekly drama, it is a waste of time. Do you have the patience to wait for a weekly drama? The good plot has been almost forgotten after a week.
It is better to watch the Japanese broadcast than to watch the weekly broadcast. This is a relatively recognized viewership among the audience. Moreover, those who follow the weekly broadcast dramas are usually young people, but middle-aged and elderly people are the real main force in ratings!
Of course, there are various reasons for weekly dramas, the most important one is that the script creation of domestic weekly dramas does not have a weekly drama model.
The screenwriters and directors are still immersed in the old mode and shoot the script step by step. The plot is sluggish and verbose and loose, which cannot attract the audience at all!
In the creation of American dramas, screenwriters will condense compact content in the updated TV series this week. On the one hand, they can spread the burden left in the previous week's plot or trailer, and at the same time they can satisfy the audience's appetite.
At the same time, we must lay the foundation for the plot of the next cycle, and we will not delay an expectation point for too long!
Domestic TV series often have forty or fifty episodes, and even seventy or eighty episodes. Such a long piece will make the audience lose patience in the Japanese broadcast theater.
If it were a weekly broadcast, it might not be broadcasted in two years. This is the limitation of script creation!
Fortunately, Lin Han did not have such an idea, because his writing "Lost" is an authentic American drama style, which itself is to change the American drama on earth, but it has been replaced with a background.
There is nothing changed in the storyline and conflict. There are many characters in "Lost", and there are no need to modify the names of various characters. People of all ethnic groups and cultural backgrounds need them!
Compared to the rest, Lin Han is very confident in this weekly drama. Whether the ratings can hit the big hit is unknown, but at least he will not lose.
...
The Planning and Orchestration Department is holding regular meetings in the Hunan Radio and Television Center building.
Their department can be regarded as the most popular among Hunan TV. It is responsible for the purchase of TV series, variety shows and other programs, channel arrangement, tape management, TV series review, channel broadcast coordination, etc., and can be regarded as the core of the core.
The person in charge of the planning and arrangement department is Zhang Huafeng, deputy director of Hunan TV. He was wearing a suit and sat at the front of the conference room. "Today, we called everyone to discuss one thing, that is, whether our diamond exclusive theater will be cancelled. Let's talk about our own views, starting with Minister Zhou."
As soon as Zhang Huafeng finished speaking, the employees in the distance couldn't help but look around. Although there were always rumors about this important news, it has finally been confirmed!
Diamond exclusive theater is considered a weekly theater on Lake South TV's evening schedule, and it is broadcasted in costume dramas, including legends, myths, fantasies, idols, etc., and is broadcast every night at 22:00.
This is an important position for domestic weekly dramas. It has launched the "Auntie Sword" and the "Bone of Flowers" series, but it has struggled due to ratings and is even going to be cancelled now!
Zhou Yuanliang looked at the notebook in front of him and said, "First of all, I have to admit that in the past year, the ratings of Diamond Exclusive Theater have been declining and have dropped to a very serious level. It has seriously affected the ratings competition between us and Zhejiang Satellite TV. But my idea is that Diamond Exclusive Theater does not need to be cancelled. What we need is to find better TV works to attract audiences!"
"The Fantasy City, which spends huge amounts of money to create a world of ice and fire, and includes many idol lineups, "The Legend of Qingyun" with a large number of book fans and traffic stars, as well as "The Legend of Qin", "The Legend of Mountains and Seas", and other TV works such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" no longer attract audiences. What we need is a work like "The Legend of Flowers" and a good reputation. These are all major mistakes in our department's choice of TV series."
Recently, the ratings of TV series broadcast on Diamond Theater have dropped significantly, and their reputation is even more terrible. No TV series has reached the passing score!
Zhou Yuanliang's words made many people nodded. This is indeed an important reason. When good works started to be played, the ratings of Diamond Exclusive Theater were the first in the same period.
This is obviously the reason for the work, not the rest!
Deputy Director Zhang Huafeng said, "Then how do you want to solve it?"
This is the key point. If you realize your mistakes and shortcomings, you must correct them.
"Han Feiguang of Zhongyuan Film and Television is in contact with me. The TV series "Lost" jointly produced by their company and Galaxy Film wants to be broadcast on our platform. In all aspects, this is the TV series that is most suitable for our Diamond exclusive theater, and it will definitely turn the situation around!"
"Is "Lost"? Are you sure that this kind of science fiction TV series will only be played one episode a week and will be bought by the audience?" Zhang Huafeng's tone was a little low, "What's more, as far as I know, they haven't started filming yet, and there is no time at all."
Zhou Yuanliang gritted his teeth. He knew that he could save the Diamond exclusive theater now and depended on "Lost", so he issued a military order: "It only takes three months, and we can hand it over to us after the first three episodes are filmed there! If it is not enough for three months, cancel this theater."
