Chapter 485 Information Amount and Technical Content
If the TV series that NBC spent a lot of effort to introduce had lower ratings than his "Inhumans", he would demand an explanation from the top management.
We'll see what the top management says then.
Of course, at this time Roy didn't mind adding an audience for Su Chen.
He wanted to see what this drama that the top management attached so much importance to was like.
So at this time, he locked on NBC's TV series channel.
After two minutes of commercial break.
The first episode of "Nirvana in Fire" is officially aired.
Suddenly, a Chinese ink painting style opening came into Roy's eyes.
Roy gave a thumbs up to this.
The artistic conception is very beautiful.
Fresh, elegant, and distant, it forms a sharp contrast with the Western oil painting style.
Coupled with the soundtrack with a strong Chinese flavor, this opening is simply impeccable.
After the opening credits.
An epic battlefield scene appeared in Roy's eyes.
In a fierce battle.
A young general named Lin Shu seemed to have been killed.
The next second, the camera switched.
A young man with long hair covering his face suddenly woke up from a nightmare.
In his hand was a bracelet with the name "Lin Shu" engraved on it!
The young man's eyes were filled with pain and hatred.
"Montage technique!"
Seeing this, Roy was shocked.
With only a few dozen seconds of footage, the director uses the "montage technique" to allow the audience to receive a large amount of information.
A young man and his troops were suspected to have been assassinated.
Because on the battlefield, one side fighting is completely unprepared, or unable to resist.
There are only two possibilities for this situation.
Either the slaughtered party was ambushed by their own friendly forces, or they were attacked by the enemy when they were exhausted.
Both situations actually indicate one fact.
This army that was massacred was ambushed by someone!
Then, when the name "Lin Shu" appeared on the silver bracelet.
It's already obvious.
The young man who woke up from this nightmare was Lin Shu. He dreamed of his tragic past.
Lin Shu, who survived the catastrophe, often dreamed of the past scenes in which he and his troops were ambushed and massacred.
Then, the theme of this TV series becomes very obvious.
This is a story of revenge.
What amazed Roy was that the director only used a few dozen seconds of footage to convey so much information!
This is definitely a master.
Roy is a director himself and is very clear about the technical content involved.
Oh, that’s not right. The screenwriter, director, and male lead of this drama are all Su Chen!
This guy Su Chen is so powerful!
This immediately changed Roy's impression of Su Chen.
Yes, in the TV series "Friends", Su Chen is also the screenwriter, director, and leading actor, doing it all.
But, to be honest, for a sitcom, there is really not much technical content to be seen.
Because sitcoms are a genre that doesn't require any technical skills.
But now, when Roy saw the beginning of Suchen's new drama, he immediately understood.
Su Chen's skills are absolutely top-notch.
Then the shot changes.
The mountains, flowing water, and castles in the air that appeared before Roy's eyes made him even more amazed.
These pictures are like the fresh, eye-catching and profound Chinese landscape paintings.
"Northern Yan recently appointed the Sixth Prince as the Crown Prince."
“He really did it!”
Well, Roy didn’t understand these shots at first.
But he knew that this must be part of Lin Shu's revenge plan.
This Lin Shu seems to be playing a big game of chess.
At this moment, Roy really wanted to know how Lin Shu would get revenge.
Roy was shocked when he found himself in such a state.
Including the opening credits, he had watched the show for less than five minutes, but he had already been captivated by its excellent production, superb techniques, and twists and turns in the plot!
Do you think such a high-quality TV series will be popular?
What does the difference in cultural background have to do with it?
Isn't there an English version? And the voiceover is flawless.
Well, at this point, all of Roy's previous resentment had dissipated.
Is there anything wrong with the top management promoting such high-quality TV series?
It turns out that his own vision is too narrow!
Then, Roy couldn't help but take a look at the ratings of Nirvana in Fire .
Over eight million!
Compared to the five million viewers before the commercial, this viewership figure has increased significantly.
Roy has reason to believe that this drama will become more and more popular in the future.
at the same time.
The top executives at NBC were already secretly relieved.
To be honest, they were very nervous when Nirvana in Fire first aired.
Because the ratings when it first aired were really not that good.
You know, almost the whole world is watching their performance now.
How many colleagues are waiting to laugh at them.
If the ratings of Nirvana in Fire fail, they will definitely become an international joke.
But it's okay now.
The ratings of "Nirvana in Fire" rose sharply just a few minutes after it was aired.
This shows that the appeal of this drama is huge.
If this trend continues, it is only a matter of time before this drama becomes a huge hit.
Moreover, based on Suchen's current popularity and fan base, NBC executives can no longer find any reason why the show wouldn't be popular.
At this time, netizens on major social networks in the Ugly Country were already discussing Su Chen's "Nirvana in Fire":
“Is there anyone like me who was amazed by the beginning?”
"My first impression is that the pictures are so pleasing to the eyes! Even if I don't pay attention to the plot and only look at the pictures, I can keep watching it."
"The drama of palace infighting? In fact, it is also widely seen in Ou Mei's history! Who says that we can't watch it because of different cultural backgrounds?"
"So, this is a TV series about Lin Shu's revenge and palace infighting?"
"Maybe I'm too stupid. I didn't understand some parts. I'll watch it a few more times when the video goes online in the early morning! This TV series of Brother Chen is so profound, and the amount of information in the scenes is so huge!"
“…”
To the delight of NBC executives.
On the Internet, the reviews for this drama are almost all positive.
At this moment, they were completely relieved.
Under such circumstances, it can be predicted that this drama will most likely become a big hit in the future!
At this time, the United States' CBS, ABC, FOX, HBO, and other television media companies saw the ratings curve of "Nirvana in Fire" and the explosive online praise.
For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded.
Oh, it seems so special! It was said that due to different cultural backgrounds, there would be a lack of acclimatization, which would lead to failure!
Why didn’t it show up!
In this case, they will suffer a huge loss.
You know, these major television media companies were originally very interested in Su Chen's drama.
It just lost to NBC in the bidding.
Now, "Nirvana in Fire" is about to take off, but the TV series broadcast by their own TV station in the same time period are all lukewarm.
This sense of gap came out all of a sudden.
It would be great if they were the ones who introduced Nirvana in Fire!
But unfortunately there is no if.
Now all major television media companies can only watch as NBC’s TV drama channel explodes in popularity.
At the same time, NBC stole the limelight by introducing Su Chen's two TV series in succession, which won the ratings championship in the same time period.
Originally, NBC ranked very low among the top ten TV drama media companies in the United States, but now, with the support of Su Chen's two TV dramas, its status in the industry is likely to be greatly improved.
Su Chen, who was on the other side of the ocean, couldn't help but smile with satisfaction when he saw this scene.
The fact that "Nirvana in Fire" has had such a good start in the Ugly Country means that the ratings of the show will be even more popular in the future.
To put it bluntly, in another time and space in China, the ratings of the first half of the broadcast of the drama "Nirvana in Fire" were only average.
Later, with the spread of the Internet and the fermentation of online word-of-mouth, the ratings of the second half of the drama began to improve.
But now, the show has been released in the Ugly Country, and the ratings have shown a gratifying rise after the first episode was aired. With its current popularity in the Ugly Country and its fan base, it is a foregone conclusion that it will become a big hit.
Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun sent a congratulatory message to Su Chen as soon as possible.
"Xiao Chen, congratulations! The premiere of Nirvana in Fire in the Ugly Country was a great success!"
"Nirvana in Fire is going to be a big hit in Ugly Country! Congratulations!"
"Congratulations!"
Of course Su Chen could not ignore the congratulations from Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun.
He responded immediately with a simple reply.
In fact, at this moment, Su Chen's mood was also very good.
Previously, Su Chen was worried that the drama would not adapt well to the local climate in Oumei, resulting in poor ratings.
But now it seems that the problem is not as serious as imagined.
Can this show achieve the same ratings as "Friends"?
Su Chen suddenly had more expectations.
At this time, the crew members of "Nirvana in Fire" have entered the mode of celebrating each other.
Especially Qianxi, Yang Mi and others, who are not the protagonists of "Friends".
The rise of "Nirvana in Fire" now means a lot to them.
With the blessing of a hit TV series, Yang Mi can more confidently say that she is an international superstar. Previously, she only became popular in Ou Mei with one song.
Even after being given the title of international superstar, many people still refuse to accept it.
But what if we add a "Nirvana in Fire"? Is there anyone who still disagrees?
If you don’t agree, make a hit movie for me to see!
Qianxi was even more overjoyed.
You know, this is the first time he has the opportunity to become an international star.
Before, he watched Yang Mi, Deng Ziqi, Zhou Shen and others gain great international fame by releasing songs.
Then there is the latest sister Zi Feng, who has also become a hot star in Ou Mei through "Friends". Looking at such a scene, it would be a lie to say that I am not jealous.
Well, actually, he knew that Brother Chen was already very fair to his artists.
But people are always selfish.
Seeing other people in the studio becoming very successful, he couldn't get a share of the profits.
How can one achieve mental balance?
But now it's okay, Qianxi is happy to see it.
Through the drama "Nirvana in Fire", it seems that I can also become an international star.
At this moment, Kong Ling was even more excited and couldn't control himself.
When Su Chen wanted to hire him, he was just a fledgling director.
But now, after joining Su Chen's studio and filming several of Su Chen's TV series in succession, Kong Li has become the most popular TV series director in the domestic entertainment industry.
Even more so now, with the success of Nirvana in Fire in the Ugly Country, Kong Ling is about to become an internationally renowned director.
It feels like a dream just thinking about it!
However, as Su Chen's "Friends" successfully opened up the Oumei market, it doesn't seem surprising that his executive-directed "Nirvana in Fire" is now a hit.
People from all walks of life in the entertainment industry felt mixed emotions when watching this scene.
In the past, it was simply a daydream for domestic TV dramas to become popular in the Oumei market.
However, now, Su Chen's TV series not only achieved this, but also achieved it one after another.
Moreover, the take-off of "Nirvana in Fire" this time is even more extraordinary.
You know, Su Chen's first TV series "Friends" was a huge hit in Oumei, and it can be said that it took advantage of the popularity of the sitcom genre.
But this time, "Nirvana in Fire" is a TV series with an authentic ancient Chinese background.
It's no exaggeration to say.
The takeoff of "Nirvana in Fire" this time has opened the door for domestic TV dramas to go global and export culture to the world.
It is of milestone significance.
This is something that every television person, even the Chinese, should be proud of.
To put it bluntly, in the future, if their TV series are well done, the difficulty of exporting Ou Magnesium will be reduced by more than ten times.
However, the feeling of following Su Chen to drink soup made most people in the entertainment industry feel a little at a loss for a moment.
Because compared to Su Chen's brilliance, they were too ordinary.
However, how long has Su Chen been in the industry?
When these people were doing well in the entertainment industry, Su Chen didn’t even know where to have fun.
Whenever they think of this, they feel a huge psychological gap.
In the ugly country.
The ratings of "Nirvana in Fire" continued to rise, just as everyone expected.
By the time the first episode was aired, the number of viewers on NBC's TV drama channel had exceeded 30 million!
After a few minutes of advertising time.
When the second episode of Nirvana in Fire was aired, the number of viewers reached 50 million!
This number of viewers even exceeded the data of the first day of the release of "Friends".
But this is just the beginning.
Halfway through the second episode of Nirvana in Fire, the number of viewers had exceeded 60 million.
By the next evening.
When the third episode of Nirvana in Fire was aired, the number of viewers exceeded 100 million!
At this moment, no matter from which angle you look at it, the release of "Nirvana in Fire" in the Ugly Country has already reached the level of explosive popularity!
