In the crew of City L, apart from Ning Qi, who cared about data, nobody knew that the popularity of “Love You Before Tomorrow”, was rising with the progress of the plot.
There were only 25 episodes in this TV series. Shenhai.com had previously confirmed with Dream Entertainment, hoping to “extend” the episodes by editing.
In the dream company, this proposal was rejected by 3:0.
In order to be able to make 25 episodes, He Fangming and the screenwriter himself made a part of the re-creation on the basis of the original drama, which did not affect the development of the story. If the clipped clips were forcibly to make forty or fifty episodes, it was estimated that netizens who were watching the show would have to turn on 3x speed in order not to feel like procrastinating.
Dream Entertainment persued dreams, so they could not nod and agree.
This company was not short of money and thus could not be persuaded.
In less than a month, “Love You Before Tomorrow” aired to the finale, and netizens who were accustomed to the forty episodes TV series were quite shocked. They only felt that the period of chasing the drama was extraordinarily short, and then they began to complain. Why didn’t Shenhai.com open up the services of platinum members that were available on other websites? They were willing to spend money to see the ending early! Now, they couldn’t spend it with a wave of money.
Speaking of which, Dream Entertainment was also bitter!
At the time, they had a good talk with Ning Qi. When they discussed opening the membership through the TV series page and how the money would be divided, they just met the general manager Lin who came in to watch.
The other side’s face was righteous: “I hope our audience can see the ending at the same time, so releasing the ending in advance will affect the viewing experience of other audiences, I don’t agree!”
And wasn’t it all right?
The only thing that Shenhai.com could do was to broadcast the finale on that day to 7 pm in advance, so that most of the audience who came home from school and work could see the ending while eating. They even bought a hot search to inform about this in advance.
As a result, at 7 o’clock on the day of the finale, a large number of audiences rushed in at the same time. The server of the Dream Entertainment “exploded” and the page of the TV series was directly disconnected. Fortunately, the Dream Entertainment was a company that squeezed employees. The crew did not get off work and was pressed for emergency repairs.
By the time seven o’clock arrived and the finale finally started broadcasting, the latest Weibo on Dream Entertainment server had been scolded by 10,000 comments.
This momentum, the hot search for the top charts, and the advertising space that Ning Qi bought, had created a momentum for the whole people to follow the drama, even the audience who did not pay attention to the show also poured in.
By the time Zong Sisi sang the ending song, which had often occupied the No. 1 hit list recently, most of the audience had complicated emotions.
“It’s just right at the end, there’s no delay.” And “Why is this over.” The thoughts fought in the mind, but after all, they still had to say goodbye to this hot drama that had touched everyone’s heart.
The drama’s popularity had also sparked a thoughtful discussion–
“In the face of the success of many small-cost explosions, has the investment proved useless?”
The most praised answer came from a well-known drama critic.
“In the past, we have been advocating small-cost victory, saying that this is the rise of grassroots. But in”Love You Before Tomorrow “, what I see is the respect from big investment for the audience, the script, and the original IP; this is not the first IP adaptation in the circle, but it is one of the few which has been praised by many book fans and completely restored the original or even upgraded to the original TV series.”
“It is no longer the props and scenery that are forced to be discounted because of the cost; there is no longer a perfunctory feeling that makes the audience feel that they have been fooled by unrealistic people. The success of the president and Bai Fumei shaped by this drama lies in their life, dressing, and even raising your hands, it makes you feel reasonable. The scenes they shape will make you feel that the thin paper people in the book have plumped up and come to life, rather than being painted in other colours. This TV show is not perfect, but its success can be copied and learned from.”
“Investment, when it is used in the right place, is useful, it is worth it, and it can even show a more perfect episode effect than most small-cost shows.”
The popularity of this drama, for some people, was like irony.
Zhonghe Entertainment, which was unable to catch the last life-saving straw on the verge of bankruptcy, regretted it.
Who was even more depressed was Wu Yuedi, who came back from Hollywood, after shooting there for a whole month. The last shot was completed in front of the green screen, and it ended in less than half a month. She learned that the “special appearances” that attracted her in the past and the special appearances that she understood were completely different, but merely a gimmick to attract the domestic market.
Before Wu Yuedi went abroad, she was refreshed at every happy event. She also took a picture of half the cover of the English script on Weibo as a hint. Now, in retrospect, she just wanted to delete it immediately.
At that time, how could she think of this scene when she just came back.
Before getting off the plane, Wu Yuedi wore sunglasses that could cover half of her face. This time the return trip was not good, and the studio didn’t ask the photographer to take pictures at the airport.
“Wu Yuedi!”
She heard someone yell her name, and Wu Yuedi couldn’t help turning her head back. Her fans were so enthusiastic, were they still chasing her to the airport?
“I’m a reporter from Orange Entertainment. I wonder if it’s convenient for you to be interviewed now?”
Wu Yuedi nodded absently, took off her sunglasses, but fortunately, she had put on makeup before getting off the plane.
She thought very carefully, and it won’t be known in China before the movie was released that she was actually a “special” star. Why not take advantage of this heat and eat a bonus? She was not afraid of playing the victim, saying that she was deceived by a foreign country and was a little bit embarrassed.
Wu Yuedi had already completed the draft, and was going to talk about her foreign training experience and inadvertently show off to her opponents who were some well-known actors.
