"How is this possible? How can the opening ratings be so high? Are you kidding me?"
Those who are discussing this are not just those working in the animation industry.
Rather, it’s a group of directors.
An animation director was extremely surprised by this.
TV director Xu Chong: "This rating is really too scary. Judging from the momentum, the show will break the historical record at the beginning. The first episode had a rating of 3.99, and the second episode may break 4!"
"How many years has it been since a TV series with a ratings of over four appeared?"
Since there are more and more TV stations, it is becoming increasingly difficult to break records in terms of ratings and audience numbers.
The opening was record-breaking, which is terrifying.
Animation director Aqi: "Lao Lin, what was the ratings of your "Little Fairy"? "
Lao Lin: “Two forty-five.”
Aqi: "Hiss~ At the beginning, "Little Fairy" was a huge hit, but the ratings were only 2.45. The ratings of "Boonie Bears" exceeded 4?"
Lao Lin: "It's better to say that this animation is the work of Shudu Lvran than to say that it's the work of New World Animation. The best animation before Shudu Lvran, "The Young Man Who Seeks Knowledge", only had a viewership rating of 0.89."
Zhao Qigang sent a question mark.
Then he said: "Are there any animations on the market with a viewership rating of over 4?"
Seeing that it was Zhao Qigang who was asking the question, Lao Lin quickly answered, "Yes, there is. The "Fantasy Journey" of "Aru Cat", which has been serialized for six seasons, had the highest ratings of 4.35 in that quarter."
Zhao Qigang asked again: " What are the ratings for the new season of "Aru Cat"?"
Lao Lin: “One point two.”
Zhao Qigang: "In other words, it's not Lizhi TV's "Little Goldfish" or Mango TV's "Power Rangers" that lost, but the animation circle and children's animation field, "Boonie Bears" has been invincible since its release?"
Many people only realized the terrifying ratings of Boonie Bears after seeing the two people’s discussion.
“So strong?”
"This is too scary. With a viewership rating of over 4, if it were a TV series, it would make at least 500 million!"
"Lizhi TV chose to go after Han Zhou, but ended up hitting a wall."
Everyone knows that the reason why Lizhi TV is keeping its eye on CCTV-1 is mainly because CCTV-1 has successively won the works of New World.
Lizhi TV came after Han Zhou and attacked him because of the incident in "The Voice of Dark Gold".
Now, Litchi Terrace itself exploded.
"During the commercial period before the broadcast of Lizhi Channel, the ratings were actually very high, and after the official broadcast, the ratings exploded."
"If it hadn't happened with Boonie Bears, Little Goldfish could have at least earned a viewership rating of over 2%, but given the current situation, I'm afraid even a rating of over 1.5 is a luxury."
Some people still asked the question: "I still don't understand. The characters in Boonie Bears aren't that good looking, and the story is too childish. How can it have such a high ratings?!"
No one came out to answer this question.
Who knows what children think?
Who knows the little ones?
Someone sneered: "I don't know how to coax a child, but it doesn't matter. Now that Lizhi TV and New World are at war, it depends on how high the ratings of the variety shows and TV dramas can get."
"That's right, how can what children see count?"
"Let's see what the result will be on tomorrow's variety show."
Friday, June 2nd.
However, some people also said: "Making money is making money, works are works, and ratings are ratings. Works with high ratings make money, so how can it not count? You can't eat sour grapes?"
In the group, most people don’t know Han Zhou, but they have more or less cooperated with Lizhi TV.
The bias in speaking is indeed great.
However, these people really look down on animation directors.
However, the animation director in the group didn’t think so.
If at the end of this year, the TV show with the highest ratings is an animation, it would be progress for animation and a shame for you directors of live-action TV shows and variety shows.
Now you're trying to make amends by disparaging cartoons?
You are making excuses for yourself. Aren’t we animation directors human beings?
Someone commented: "What's the point of the ratings for cartoons? If the ratings for the commercials before the evening news are over 15%, then aren't the directors of those commercials big names in the TV industry?"
Animation director Aqi: "Stealing the concept."
Lao Lin couldn't help but speak up: "Yes, yes, your TV series with a rating of 0.6 is awesome, but your cartoon with a rating of over 4 is rubbish. You are awesome."
The person being criticized immediately lost his temper: "What a boast! Not to mention that he hasn't broken four yet, even if he did, so what? Besides, can't people just pursue money and not artistry? What's wrong with low ratings? It's better than deceiving children."
Lao Lin really got carried away: "Don't forget, Han Zhou, the screenwriter of Boonie Bears, is also a film director. According to your logic, if we compare the artistic quality, then aren't all TV dramas garbage?"
Once these words were spoken, 90% of the people in the group were offended.
However, the vast majority of people did not speak out.
First of all, it’s the truth.
Secondly, this is the truth that is logically deduced based on the statements of others.
No one with normal logic would get involved.
However, there are still some people with bad tempers: "Oh? All TV dramas are rubbish? How dare you say that?"
Archie: "You guys dare to say that cartoons are garbage, why can't I say that TV dramas are garbage?"
"Besides, are you sure you can beat Han Zhou by watching TV dramas and variety shows?"
"Don't let the time pass when you lose again and again, when your husband and wife lose, when you surrender, when the Golden Temple defeats the Buddha, and you can't even raise your head from beginning to end."
The group was buzzing with excitement. I didn’t even read a lot of the conversation before the whole page was scrolled down.
Zhao Qigang: "Alright! What are you arguing about? If you want to argue, just chat privately!"
Liu Xuan from "Summer New Singer", who had been silent, spoke up: "I don't know about TV dramas, but if you want to beat me in variety shows, Han Zhou hasn't eaten enough."
"Even if he is gifted like Mr. Liu Sanye back then, he can't beat me."
"Without a star TV station, no matter how good the show is, it will not be a big hit. Not to mention a star TV station, they didn't even broadcast it on satellite TV, they just broadcast it online."
"We can end this topic now."
Even if Old Lin Aqi was not convinced, he could not refute this point.
Tens of thousands of TV dramas are produced across the country every year, but only a few thousand of them can be broadcast on satellite TV.
Other TV series are either sealed in stock or made into CD discs and sold directly. Small TV stations in various places don't even need to buy the copyright to broadcast them, they can just play the discs.
Not appearing on satellite TV means failure.
There is no chance of great success without appearing on star satellite TV.
This is the consensus in the television industry.
But at this time, a young director named Chu Yuan spoke up: "Five years ago, it was a consensus that CCTV-1 crushed all other TV stations. Now, the ratings of the four major TV stations and CCTV's four channels are on par."
Will the consensus of the past still be the consensus in the future?
Liu Xuan didn't know who Chu Yuan was, and didn't want to quarrel with the people in the group, so he smiled and said, "Everything depends on the actual ratings. There's no point in talking about this."
Apart from the entertainment industry media, there was no publicity for the record-breaking performance of Boonie Bears.
Instead, various news exploded on Tieba, and the record-breaking "Boonie Bears" also made it to the hot search list on Weibo.
It’s not natural popularity, but popularity bought by Yang Hong.
Liu Tiantan, the big gun, has been lurking in various groups in the circle for a long time and never speaks.
Liu Tiantan knows what these groups are talking about now.
Liu Tiantan knew that he must report the situation to the small group.
After seeing this situation, Yang Hong bought the hot search without saying a word.
In the eyes of netizens, it is normal for this kind of news to become a hot topic and it will not be suspected of being hype.
In fact, it is abnormal for this kind of news to become a hot search. People in the industry all know that New World has started to hype its operations.
However, the performance of "Boonie Bears" is indeed worth it.
“So strong!”
"Old Han actually went to work on animation scripts?"
"Speaking of which, does Han Zhou have so much time? An Lan is releasing an album, he's participating in variety shows, filming variety shows, and he's also filming a TV series. Where does he find the time to do so many things?"
"That's right. I'm afraid it's not just a replacement, and it's just a figurehead."
It is obvious that the navy black troopers have taken action.
You can tell with your butt that this is the work of Lizhi TV.
Just before the arrival of a large number of internet trolls, Han Zhou’s Weibo published his schedule for the past three months.
It's so busy. There's work to do every day. I'm either working or on my way to work.
During the three months, he only had two periods of rest. One was when Han Zhou returned to Shudu and helped out in his mother's noodle shop for half a day, and then in the afternoon he went to Green Dye Animation for business activities.
One was when Han Zhou rushed to Yanjing to participate in the soundtrack production of "Charge" and attended Chen Feng's party in the evening.
All in all, in three months, I had less than one day of rest, and I was short of an entire afternoon to get a full day of rest.
However, there are many blacked-out areas on the schedule, which only indicate the location but not what is being done. This is a trade secret.
Moreover, netizens can only see what was done and where they went, but they don’t know what was done specifically.
For example, when Han Zhou acquired Green Dye Animation, netizens would think that Han Zhou went to discuss the script and plot of the new animation "Boonie Bears" that day.
After looking at the schedule, some people hesitated: "Whoever wants to be a star can be one."
"I'm not jealous of the money I made."
"Are you serious? For three months, you haven't had any rest. The only time you had a meal was at a gathering with Chen Feng's friends."
"Old Han, make sure you get some rest."
Before the internet trolls started to slander Han Zhou for being able to do so many things, a work schedule directly cut off the source of all the rumors.
Diligence can make up for lack of talent, the early bird catches the worm, and those who have the will can achieve their goals?
No matter what it is, the number of Han Zhou's works is directly proportional to the length of his working hours.
You work six hours a day, and he works eighteen hours a day, producing two or three times more than you. Isn't that normal?
In fact, this Weibo post has more than just this purpose.
But it is laying the foundation for "Summer of Idol".
Now that many netizens know Han Zhou's schedule, they will go back to pay attention to the schedules of these idols, and then they will know that Shinsegae is "exploiting" them. Then they will pay more money.
In the future, someone will definitely expose that Han Zhou is actually the real owner of New World.
However, once the current schedule is released, netizens will not believe it.
Who would push themselves so hard? Are they mentally ill?
…
June 2nd, a new day has arrived.
The fact that Boonie Bears has topped the ratings charts is already known to everyone in the industry.
But online, there was no movement.
After all, people don’t watch cartoons much.
And today is the day for netizens to watch the fun.
The two variety shows "Summer of Idols" and "Summer New Singer" will premiere tonight.
Although Mango TV did not participate in the variety show competition, that is because Mango TV has its own variety show on Fridays called "Happy Home", which has long dominated the top three in the variety show ratings rankings.
Because of this show, there are actually two variety show ratings lists.
One is the seasonal ratings ranking, and the other is the weekly ratings ranking.
Essentially, both variety shows are broadcast weekly .
But seasonal variety shows are those that last for three months, which is exactly one quarter, while weekly variety shows are broadcast every week.
Mango TV does not think that the new variety show can replace its own "Happy Family" to dominate the Friday prime-time ratings.
Even the variety show field itself is Mango TV’s private territory.
Although Liu Xuan left Mango TV, he joined Litchi TV in the form of a cooperation.
But more people stayed on Mango TV.
Of course, netizens are not concerned about the ratings list.
What netizens are concerned about is which one is better, "Summer of Idol" or "Summer New Singer"!
One is a brand new talent show, and the other is an idol show that claims to subvert talent shows.
The propaganda is in full swing.
Of course everyone wants to watch the fun.
However, on June 2nd, the "Summer of Idols" program was recorded at the training camp.
A group of people are being tortured.
There are less than four days left until the college entrance examination.
Due to the college entrance examination, recording will be stopped next weekend.
Among the one hundred idol contestants in the show, thirty-seven will take the college entrance examination this year.
But during these two months of training camp, everyone didn’t have much time to attend classes.
The basic score required for art examinations is very low, far lower than the score line of ordinary universities.
However, many people probably find it difficult to even reach this art exam score line.
Han Zhou considered this issue when designing the race schedule.
Even if you have to cram at the last minute, you have to give these people a hug.
Therefore, Han Zhou had already decided to stop recording on June 2, the day of the premiere.
Others can take a break on this day to adjust their state.
And the current candidates will take high-intensity mock exams on this day.
Complete the two-day exam content in one day.
The examination papers are also based on the second model examination papers in various places.
This group of trainees certainly don’t have the time to look at the second mock test papers online, so the test results should be almost equivalent to the college entrance examination results.
Wang Xiya specially invited teachers from Yenching University who participated in the college entrance examination marking last year but not this year to come to the show to help mark the papers.
Wang Xiya meant to record this part of the content and broadcast it on Penguin Video as VIP content.
Li Shanghong thought so too.
Han Zhou only had one thing to say: 'Stop looking for trouble.'
This session is to prepare the trainees for the college entrance examination and let them adapt to the examination room. After all, none of them has taken the second or third mock exams.
It is not to take advantage of the popularity of the college entrance examination.
Even if he wanted to scam someone, didn't Han Zhou know to specially invite a student who is capable of getting into Yanda or Tsinghua University to be a trainee to gain popularity?
Therefore, for this exam, the detailed process was not recorded, but just recorded it reluctantly.
It is easy to set up an examination room for more than thirty people.
It's in the performance hall.
There were tables, chairs and benches there, and a group of people were doing their homework.
Chinese questions are the most time-consuming. Many people can finish other subjects in advance and even check the questions.
The time limit for the Chinese language test is very strict.
Writing so many words requires so much time. No matter whether you know how to do it or not, you will have to write for a long time.
After the Chinese test, the second test is mathematics.
The high-intensity exam only gave them twenty minutes of rest time.
The teacher who was invited over was already marking the papers.
The examiner was looking at the papers while retreating tactically.
This is the first time in history that I can grade so many test papers of candidates with such poor foundation at one time.
Although everyone knows that the overall strength of Yanjing candidates is among the lowest in the country, in the previous national unified examination, the average score of Yanjing candidates was second to last, only higher than that of Haiqing Province.
However, it is still an eye-opener for the examiners to look at so many papers at once, where the total score may not even reach 300.
The teachers who marked the papers were overwhelmed by the results.
Han Zhou was watching the fun at the scene.
The teacher turned around and said: "I feel that when you are training idols, it is necessary for you to learn some cultural subjects, otherwise one day you will be called illiterate by netizens."
Han Zhou knew about this problem and understood that there were huge pitfalls involved, but the idol industry was just starting out and he really didn't have time to deal with this.
Netizens, what is the most annoying thing?
The most annoying thing is that I have studied hard all my life and only earn three thousand a month after graduating from college, while some illiterate people make a million a day.
This is bound to cause ridicule.
However, for the trainees, singing, dancing, musical instruments, etc. are their examination items.
However, as this industry gradually develops, Han Zhou feels it is still necessary to improve the cultural knowledge of his trainees.
After all, if you don’t read, you may not even be able to understand the script, so how can you become an all-round idol?
What Han Zhou wants to cultivate is a new group of idols that are strong enough to compete with the stars of the old era, not the money-making tool like in his previous life.
Although the way of playing, the hype method and the training method are the same.
But the only difference is ability.
If you have the ability, you can do anything.
If you don't have the ability, you will be scolded no matter what you do.
Han Zhou is formulating the rules for this new industry, and everything is based on the rules of the new world.
In this way, New World will become the most powerful company in the new era.
Han Zhou felt that the teacher's suggestion was right, but there was indeed not enough time now.
While the teacher was correcting the essay, he saw a strange essay.
The candidate is a native of Yenching.
The Chinese composition section of Yenching’s second model exam this year is a topic-based composition.
【China has had a cultural tradition of heaven, earth, emperor, parents and teachers since ancient times. This heritage is also the essential root that distinguishes us from other countries in the world.】
[She nurtured you, taught you, and cared for you. What is your impression of her? ]
[1. No restrictions on subject matter (except poetry). 2. Please do not mention real names of people or places in the article.]
【Please complete an 800-word article titled "My Mother". 】
When the examiner sees an essay titled "My Alma Mater" under the essay titled "My Mother", he will of course take a closer look out of curiosity.
Throughout the entire essay, the candidate has been writing about how great my alma mater is.
I have experienced so many interesting things here, received so much education, and learned so much.
Moreover, the writing is not bad, it is very good.
The previous questions were well done and the writing level is also very high now.
The only problem is that the title is "My Mother" instead of "My Alma Mater", which is off topic!
However, the examiner still finished reading the article.
Because, if you just go off topic, you will be deducted 20 points, but if the writing is good, you will still have 40 points.
Until the last sentence, the examiner was shocked. After careful consideration, he wrote down '59'.
This composition scored 59 points out of a full 60 points, and the total score of the Chinese test paper was 127 points, which was far above the average level of students who took the second placement test in the Yenching area.
The last sentence of this essay is "I'm sorry, I'm an orphan without a mother, my alma mater is my mother."
The examiner showed the essay to another examiner next to him and said: "This candidate has a very good writing style!"
Han Zhou tilted his head, saw the test paper, and smiled.
Soon, Wang Xiya took the test paper and a bamboo stick in her hand and went from the entrance of the training camp to the cafeteria.
Wang Chuyang howled as he ran: "I didn't mean to do that, I read the question wrong!"
"When I found out I had made a mistake, it was already written and there was no way to change it. What could I do?"
“Ouch, that hurts!”
Finally, Han Zhou stopped Wang Xiya and said, "The math test has already started."
Wang Xiya let Han Zhou take the bamboo stick and folded her arms: "Wang Chuyang, I will settle accounts with you after the college entrance examination."
Han Zhou hit Wang Chuyang with a stick.
Wang Chuyang glared at him: "Come again?"
Han Zhou was happy: "I'm just trying to feel it, who told you to write nonsense?"
"Hurry up and take the exam. If I hadn't stopped you, your sister would have beaten you to death."
Wang Chuyang rubbed his buttocks and complained: "She is a big investor, why is she going to watch the grading of papers? It's ridiculous."
"Could it be that someone showed the test paper to her on purpose?"
Han Zhou: "Haha, who is so bored that he likes to see you get beaten? Go take the exam now."
"Keep going. Judging from your level, if you take the exam in Yanjing, you might be able to get into a double first-class university."
