This Star Wants To Retire

Ding Xiaoyu didn't understand why the word-of-mouth of "Langya Bang" became polarized. It was because of her admiration and closeness to Luo Mo.

At the same time, she is an [experiential] actor, and she is a drama player herself, so her understanding ability and sense of substitution will be stronger when watching dramas.

She has read a lot of scripts, and she is better at understanding the relationship between characters.

However, what is the current market environment like?

——It's becoming more and more fast-paced.

In the past, everyone loved watching TV dramas the most. In the early years, there were even scenes when the TV dramas were broadcast, and the crowds were empty.

The ratings are not breaking 1 like they are now, but breaking 10, or even breaking dozens!

Of course, this is also related to the relatively few entertainment activities at that time.

Later, it evolved into a big era of variety shows.

Variety shows have developed explosively in a short period of time.

Many resident guests of popular variety shows have even become national figures.

Many people have become too lazy to follow dramas and choose variety shows that are easier to follow.

How about now?

Many people don't even bother to follow the drama.

Just swipe the short video and you're done.

Ask yourself, how many TV series can you watch completely in one year?

When you watch a TV series, can you resist not pressing fast forward or double speed?

Have you been watching a drama, but suddenly you can’t watch it anymore, and you don’t want to continue chasing it?

This phenomenon is common and common.

One is because now is the era of information explosion, and everyone is more picky about the content. People think that many dramas are unattractive and boring, so it is better to watch something else.

The other is a change of habit.

In the first two episodes of "Langya Bang", too many characters appeared.

It can be said that more than half of the main characters have played.

There is obviously an inextricable relationship between each character, but it can't be digested for a while.

To put it simply, it was the first two episodes, and I was tired after watching it.

At least more tiring than most serials.

Moreover, the overall rhythm of "Langya Bang" was slow in the early stage, with a feeling of eloquence.

To use a word that often appears in the Internet circle, that is-slow heat!

In fact, on Earth, when "Langya Bang" first aired, it really wasn't very popular.

If you check the data when it was broadcast, you will find that the popularity of this drama is still rising after it is over!

Many viewers felt that the beginning was very dissuading, and they couldn't watch it after a little bit, and they didn't want to watch it.

Later, if it wasn't for many relatives and friends who "applied their heads to Amway", everyone must go to see it, and they might really have missed it.

However, such a beginning is actually necessary.

Draw out the characters, introduce the characters' situations, and make the setting fast and full. Only when the next plot reaches a climax can the audience feel more refreshed!

This is like when everyone is reading an online article, if the heroine is not plump and looks very facial, she just keeps emphasizing that she is a beauty, then when she posts the heroine, the refreshing feeling she gets is nothing more than a big sleep beauty girl.

But what if this heroine portrays the love in your heart? Does she jump off the paper?

That sense of substitution is completely different.

The same goes for the supporting cast.

This is the charm of [Group Portrait].

……..

……..

Some discourses and debates that appeared on the Internet were within Luo Mo's expectations.

"Speechless, if this drama wasn't filmed by Luo Mo, I might stop watching it after ten minutes."

"I really forced to watch two episodes because of my previous good impression."

"There are too many characters, and the relationship is complicated. It hurts my head to watch."

"Let me ask you a question: If this drama wasn't made by Luo Mo, would you really follow it?"

The emergence of these remarks made the people of the two dramas "Nine Deadly Sins" and "Jade Pearl City" secretly happy.

"Luo Mo's new drama this time does not seem to be as attractive as before, and the beginning is extremely attractive!"

This made many people slightly relieved.

Luo Mo's previous record is too scary, his reputation is too good, and his audience base is also against the sky.

This time, he even partnered with Xu Chujing [behind the show], and even got the support of the "national team".

But it seems that there is no chemical reaction!

Is this positive or negative?

For a while, there was even a scolding war on the Internet.

"I think it's very beautiful. Fu Huadao is obviously very careful, full of details, and the scenes and pictures are also well shot, without any shoddy feeling."

"It can be seen that you are telling a story with your heart, why are you in a hurry?"

"Don't understand this? You have no brains."

"No way, no way, no one really can't understand a drama."

"It's very beautiful. The scene of meeting the Empress Dowager made me cry."

"The acting skills of all the actors are online, it's very natural to watch."

Some remarks will not lead to war, because they are only promoting their own views and opinions.

Turnips and greens have their own preferences, which is normal.

But some remarks are actually like sarcasm, with a feeling of superiority and superiority.

Here, it is indeed because some netizens like to pick things up, and they speak in this style and tone.

There are also some black fans who are playing against each other, and some people even deliberately stir up trouble behind the scenes.

There is a lot of hostility on the Internet now, and it is easy to cause tearing.

Some people make money by engaging in various confrontations.

Some platforms are even fueling the flames behind the scenes for the sake of traffic, wishing for more confrontation and quarrels to increase platform revenue.

Many marketing accounts and some of Luo Mo's enemies also started to mobilize one after another.

""Is Luo Mo really going to fall from the altar this time?""

"I think he just can't control such a group of good actors, and some young cooks can't cook delicacies from mountains and seas well."

"I think it's a matter of subject matter. How can he handle this kind of subject matter?"

"Who does he think he is? These days, who doesn't try his best to get to the golden beginning? And expect the audience to be more patient because of you? Why!"

"Isn't this person claiming to always lead the trend and grasp the lifeline of the market? What's the matter, don't you know that now is the fast-paced information age? Don't you understand the audience's preferences and habits?"

Many drama critics also started to leave the stage one after another. Seeing that everyone's debate is very hot now, they began to write drama reviews, commenting on the pros and cons of the first two episodes of "Langya Bang".

[Fuhuadao] I am very careful, this cannot be blamed, after all, everyone has eyes.

There is nothing to say about the overall shooting technique, camera sense and so on, the level is there.

Therefore, drama reviews mainly focus on [story rhythm], [character relationship], [narrative level], [character shaping] and other aspects.

Overall, the show received mixed reviews.

Quite a few people actually wrote quite pertinently, but inevitably there were also many bad-mouthing voices.

"The sense of astonishment that made people's eyes shine in the early stage seems to have disappeared."

"It's very strange. The songs in Luo Moming's new album give people a prelude time and time again, but the opening chapter of his new play gives people a feeling of being confused and full of persuasion. "

"To be honest, if this drama wasn't made by Luo Mo, I guess there would be more bad reviews, and there wouldn't be so many people supporting it and analyzing its meaning."

"When I saw the title of the play, I thought it was a bluff. It had to be such an uncommon name."

"Perhaps Luo Mo has also embarked on the old path of many directors and screenwriters, which is to pursue more and more things that ordinary people can't understand, and their ideas are getting more and more advanced?"

This phenomenon, in the daytime of the next day, not only did not stop, but intensified.

Many people in the entertainment industry play by ear. Seeing the constant controversy of "Langya Bang", even the director of "Langya Bang", which was crushed by "Sword" before, posted a long Weibo to comment on "Langya Bang" ".

At the beginning of this long Weibo, he praised the "Sword" series in a very modest tone, which can be said to be a big blow.

After all, he lost at the hands of "Sword of Immortal Sword", the more he praised his opponent, the less ashamed he would appear.

At the same time, it will also appear that my article is more "rational" and the tone is more "seeking truth from facts".

After boasting about two or three hundred words, he changed the subject and began to judge the pros and cons of "Langya Bang" from the perspective of the director.

"Luo Mo is obviously a very thoughtful director who wants to constantly break through his own shackles and has the courage to break through himself."

"So, I saw in "Langya Bang" that he has many different pursuits from before."

"From telling a good story to how to tell a good story well."

"But it also led to a lot of content, which the audience couldn't digest for a while. Many words, lines, and eyes between the characters must be carefully considered."

"It is very difficult for the audience to feel that it is both advanced and understandable."

"I came from a suspense drama background. Logically speaking, this should be the highest pursuit of directors like us, but I think there is still a long way to go before reaching this level."

"Luo Mo, it must be the same."

"At the same time, "Nirvana in Fire" has invited many powerful actors that I respect very much. There are even several actors in it, and I want to cooperate with them."

"However, it may be because the entire cast is so strong that Luo Mo didn't pay attention to the priority when editing. It seemed that many parts were reluctant to cut out, so that the whole beginning was extremely procrastinated."

"It is true that each of the main actors who appear on the stage now has enough shots and has also shown their own characters."

"But the overall rhythm is not good."

"Who would have thought that one of the biggest advantages of the whole show would actually be a hindrance."

"You know, Luo Mo has assembled so many good actors, almost fulfilling the dreams of countless directors."

"I can only say that I am deeply sorry for this "Langya Bang". With his ability and the abilities of this group of actors, it should have been a better story."

Since the director of "The Sin" is also a well-known and high-status figure in the industry, after he took the lead in the charge, more and more people joined the team of yin and yang.

One by one is either regretful, sad, or pity.....

With all kinds of regretful tone, they wantonly criticize the many shortcomings of "Langya Bang".

Although the controversy has not stopped since its broadcast, the premiere performance of "Langya Bang" is extremely dazzling.

For Penguin Video, the number of views on the first day directly exceeded 200 million, and it was an astonishing 281 million!

The ratings on the Octopus Channel were also as high as 1.49!

It can only be said that Luo Mo's super high reputation and super popularity have made this drama a lot of attention, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is highly anticipated.

It's just that, now more people want to see his word-of-mouth hit the street, and follow-up ratings hit the street.

This kind of thing is not unusual in reason, it has happened to most directors. If a man stumbles, a horse stumbles.

It's just that this kind of cast and this kind of investment will be ugly and lose a lot of money.

Li Yang, the heroine of "Jade and Pearl City" and the head of the four little female roles, also gloated.

She and Luo Mo had no enmity, but the main reason was that Tang Shiyu, who was also one of the Four Little Huadans, had to cry this time.

She has always felt that Tang Shiyu is a tea-like person, seemingly pure, but with a lot of tricks.

It's all right now, wagging his tail and ran to lick Luo Mo, and acted as the female supporting role in the play, but the whole show's reputation is still average!

This may bring a fatal blow to the commercial value of Tang poetry.

Of course, some people in the circle criticize "Langya Bang", and there must be some people who defend "Langya Bang".

Here, most of them are people who are acquainted with Luo Mo or have cooperated with him before.

One person's open voice surprised the whole network.

—— Zheng Guofeng, the director of "The King of Fans"!

It was the old man who fought against "Sedum Sword: Sedum Chapter" and had old grievances with Luo Mo's master Tong Qinglin.

This person is one of the top three directors of the older generation in the domestic film and television drama circle.

As I said before, the world background of Blue Star is that the four famous novels include "Journey to the West" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but not "Water Margin" and "Dream of Red Mansions".

And the "Three Kingdoms" in this world was shot by him.

At the same time, there are also historical dramas such as "National War" and "Gonghou".

He came out to shoot "The King of Fans" in order to "pay off the debt" for his unsatisfied son.

It stands to reason that with new and old grievances added together, it would be good for him to step on "Langya Bang".

But after watching the first two episodes, Zheng Guofeng heard about many controversies in the circle and on the Internet, and finally couldn't help frowning.

After watching the first two episodes, he couldn't help but glance at his useless son.

"Why is he the apprentice of that old guy Tong Qinglin?" He was even more upset for a moment.

In his opinion, in the first two episodes of "Langya Bang", Luo Mo obviously made a lot of choices.

In other words, he knew that there were tigers in the mountains, so he preferred to go to the mountains.

He probably knows that if he shoots like this, some people will feel discouraged at the beginning and feel tired watching it.

But he did it anyway.

Because he knows that if he has to do this, the explosive points in the future will be even more explosive, and the highlights will be more exciting.

He may be extremely confident about the following content.....!

Don't ask Mr. Zheng why he feels so empathetic, because he also had the same mentality when he was filming "The King of Fans", so that after the broadcast of "The King of Fans", many people said that the pace was too slow and he was out of date.

"They know how to make a series." Mr. Zheng cursed in his heart.

In his opinion, it is already commendable for such a young director to dare to do this.

What's more, he can see some hooks buried in the first two episodes.

As one of the top film and television drama directors in China, he can guess something.

Therefore, Mr. Zheng finally posted a Weibo, and also brought the [topic] of "Langya Bang".

Just two sentences on Weibo:

"It's too early to scold now."

As soon as this Weibo was posted, it didn't take long for it to explode.

Some people think that Zheng Guofeng is blatantly standing for "Langya Bang", and some people continue to mock: "I think Director Zheng means that you are scolding now, it is too arbitrary, watch a few more episodes before scolding!"

"I'm sorry, I said it was trash after watching two episodes, I was wrong. I will definitely watch two more episodes and say: What a fucking piece of trash."

As for Luo Mo's studio, there was no response from the beginning to the end.

The studio's public relations team is like a decoration.

On the Penguin side, they didn't even make a move.

It stands to reason that for a major production, part of the cost is set aside for word-of-mouth maintenance.

This is true of TV shows and movies.

For big movies during the Spring Festival, the reserved expenses for word-of-mouth maintenance and post-publicity follow-up, some even exceed 100 million yuan.

In this extremely weird situation, night began to fall.

The third and fourth episodes of "Langya Bang" are about to be broadcast.

(ps: Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, so I will update it today, 4500 words.)
