Chapter 630 Fiasco
"Meteor Garden" is the first love in the eyes of many people, and memories have automatic beautification function. The remaining clips are hazy and beautiful, and often cannot be tolerated. Just like the 1983 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is a beautiful memory of many people in childhood. When Zhang Jizhong's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was filmed, many people instinctively refused. Even Jin Yong said that Zhou Xun's Huang Rong's best is his favorite, he was still scolded by excited fans.
Therefore, after Zhang Ran's words were reported by the media, they immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of many fans of "Meteor Garden", and there was a lot of scolding on the Internet.
"Zhang Ran is really arrogant. He even said the eight streets of "Meteor Garden"! The higher you stand, the more painful it hurts. Wait, when you cry!"
"Saying such words is clearly a hype. I didn't expect that Zhang Ran would make a big fuss about hype. I was really disappointed. Zhang Ran was low-key and humble in my impression, and was definitely not a person who bullies others."
"Zhang Ran is really too inflated. His career success made him forget his name. He said all the words "Meteor Garden" in the eight streets. Many people were blinded by victory and eventually fell down. I think Zhang Ran is going to fall down this time!"
Zhang Ran’s fans were not to be outdone and responded fiercely to these criticisms: “Isn’t what Zhang Ran said? “Meteor Garden” is already very rustic. The actors’ clothes are all bought from the night market, and those clothes have no texture at all. Do you think the clothes inside are very fashionable?”
"Zhang Ran was right. When the Taiwanese version first came out, Daomingsi was called migrant workers by a bunch of people. It is normal for "Meteor Shower" to surpass "Meteor Garden".
"Yes, now the stands version obviously feels that the costumes inside are old-fashioned and too petty. The Japanese version's props and acting skills are better than the Taiwanese version, but the actors are not good. Zhang Ran is the producer of "Meteor Shower". With him, I believe that the mainland version can gather the strengths of the two companies."
On this day, several girl magazines such as "Rui Li", Yue Yi", and "Xin Wei" were launched in the latest edition. Unlike in the past, several magazines launched the concept of the "Song Girls" at the same time. Huang Shengyi, Bai Ling, and even Zhang Jingchu appeared one after another. In interviews with these magazines, they talked about the "Song Girls" connotation, and the matching of the "Song Girls" in a big way.
The peak remake of "Meteor Shower" in the century did not expect the TV series to make much money. No matter how good it sold, it would only look 230 million. Once the concept of the Mori Girls is hyped up, it will be able to form a market of billions or even tens of billions.
If the Mori Girls can make a fixed style like O-style and Lady style, then the trend can continue and the Mori Girls' business can be carried out for many years. Just like the Japanese company in the previous life, after the Mori Girls' popularity, it quickly developed various corresponding products, from clothing, groceries, and stationery.
The girls in Zhang Ran’s class, especially Huang Shengyi, were influenced by Zhang Ran, and their dressing style was the route of the Sen Girls. After Huang Shengyi became popular, her dressing style became the object of imitation for many fans. The dressing style of the Sen Girls has become popular on a small scale, but no one knows the name of the Sen Girls.
Now that the concept of the Mori Women's Group was proposed, coupled with the promotion of many female magazines, it suddenly became a hot topic for many women.
However, even so, "Meteor Shower" is still at a disadvantage in the contest with "Struggle". In a voting event held in Xinlang, only 14.5% of netizens who were optimistic about "Meteor Shower" were far behind "Struggle".
On August 10, the highly anticipated PK officially kicked off, and "Struggle" was first released and broadcasted on Peking Satellite TV.
"Struggle" begins with Lu Tao, Gao Qiang, Xiang Nan and Huazi, four boys who graduated from college. Like all college graduates, they are facing a new life. At the graduation ceremony, Lu Tao was very glorious because of his excellent academic performance, but Gao Qiang cheated in the exam and did not even get a degree, so he lost his good job.
At the same time, Gao Qiang's father lost money because of stock trading. After learning that Gao Qiang had lost his job, he cursed at him, saying that he was useless. Gao Qiang, who was in despair, made a choice that no one expected and jumped off the building and committed suicide.
The audience in front of the TV was shocked. No one expected that a TV series known as youth and inspiration would have such a cruel scene. No one expected that the beginning of this drama would be so heavy.
Next, Lu Tao and the others were arrested in the police station because they were having a fight with others.
The ups and downs of the opening story made countless viewers realize that this drama is different from other idol dramas and is really close to reality.
"Struggle" accurately grasps the psychology of modern young people, especially the psychological state of college students after graduation, as well as their attitude towards life and emotions. Many people can find their own shadow in the play and make them empathize.
On the first day of the broadcast, "Struggle" won a rating of 1.3%. Among all the TV series played that day, it ranked second only to CCTV's "Special Mission", and achieved an extremely beautiful start.
As everyone expected, the ratings of "Struggle" continued to rise in the next few days, with a rating of 1.5% on the second day and a 1.8% on the third day. On August 12, the ratings exceeded 2 points, reaching 2.1%. On this day, CCTV's drama "Special Mission" was offline, and the newly released TV series performed mediocrely. "Struggle" successfully topped the top and became the ratings champion that night.
"Struggle" not only has high ratings, but also has a very good reputation. In Douban's short reviews, they were almost all 5-star users, and the rating given by the audience was 8.2 points, which is definitely the best among domestic TV series.
"The happiest time of the day is at night. Sometimes I turn off the dormitory lights and only turn on the computer. A few of us roommates watched "Struggle" together on my bed, watching, smiling, envious, and outlining our minds that our future should also be in love, working, and struggling like the characters in the play. I like every character in the play, every line, and the heartbreaking utopia in everyone's heart."
"The lines inside are real, I really like the Peking Mandarin in it, and some of them are very funny! I thought that some of the words that we only use ourselves, but after this TV series, I found that people across the country are using them, which can resonate with those born in the 1980s!"
"The betrayal in the play is so real, but all of this cannot resist the greatness of friendship. The success of "Struggle" lies in not playing according to common sense, which just reflects the cruelty of our generation living in a free and unrestrained manner."
With the broadcast of "Struggle" episodes, countless young people are crazy about this drama, from Tianya gossip to Douban gossip, from Hupu to Maopu, from TV series Tieba, Movieba, discussing the drama everywhere, discussing the plot details, discussing lines, discussing Lu Tao, discussing Milai, discussing Xiangnan... A storm about youth, a storm about struggle is sweeping across the country, and many people even set up groups for this, and named it for the word "heartbreaking utopia" in the drama.
With the popularity of the series, several starring actors in the play have gained super high popularity and quickly became popular. It’s okay for Tong David and Ma Yili to be very popular. Zhu Yuchen was all famous for several other new actors, Herald Emblem, especially Bai Baihe, who plays Mile. As a newcomer, she gained popularity and even surpassed the heroine Ma Yili and became the most popular character in the whole play.
However, Wang Luodan was particularly depressed. It was not because she missed Milai's role. It was indeed a pity to miss Milai, but she won the second female lead in "Tangshan Earthquake". That role was even better than Milai. What really made her feel depressed was that Bai Baihe looked too similar to her. Many people thought she was played by her and called her to congratulate her. She was so angry that she wanted to scold her.
On August 15, "Meteor Shower" finally appeared on PK and officially met with the audience on Mango TV at 8 o'clock in the evening.
Countless viewers with anticipation, countless netizens who waited until they found fault were waiting in front of the TV, waiting for the official broadcast of "Meteor Shower".
"Meteor Shower" is remake from "Meteor Garden". The story begins with similar story as "Meteor Garden". It is Xia Youcao's dream to be admitted to Aliston Academy. When he entered the school, he was ecstatic. However, the dream school is not as beautiful as he imagined. Zhang Yuntao, Zhou Mingxuan, Li and Chen Shuo, four successors from the six major families, are the overlords of the school and enjoy a supreme position among students. The upright Xia Youcao really can't stand Zhang Yuntao's arrogant actions and speaks for justice, so he offended Zhang Yuntao and was posted with a red note symbolizing the enemy...
As the two episodes of the TV series were played, everyone returned to reality from the plot and expressed their opinions online.
"It's so ugly, so shocking. The heroine is artificial, and none of the heroes are handsome, far worse than "Meteor Garden"!"
"It's not as good as "Meteor Garden", but if you say that you don't have a handsome guy, it's just nonsense. Isn't Hu Ge handsome? Is Jia Miliang handsome? Zhang Chao, Qiao Renliang handsome?"
"Although the male actor is not as good as the stage version, it's OK. But Shancai didn't choose the candidate. I like Shu Chang very much, but she really doesn't look like Shancai. I can't see that weed spirit in her! It would be great if Zhang Jingchu came to play, she had that stubborn spirit!"
"Zhang Jing was too old and now she was only filming movies. How could she play idol dramas? Huang Shengyi is quite suitable, but when "Meteor Shower" was filming "God's Will", otherwise she would be the most suitable choice."
"You can really watch it? I can't watch it anymore. There is really no harm without comparison. After watching "Meteor Shower", I think "Struggle" is so easy to see and cry!"
"This kind of thunder drama is enough to appear in China. Don't let foreigners see it. This flawless rustic drama, which is seen by the Japanese and the Bangzi, will definitely become a hot topic for them to laugh at us."
Although there are many complaints about "Meteor Shower" online, some criticizing the plot, director, and actors, there is almost no one who can't say well about the costumes and outfits in the play.
"Meteor Shower" does put a lot of effort into clothing, and it is a clothing combination specially designed by stylists from the United States. The cost of clothing alone costs nearly 10 million. The stylist matches clothing according to the different characteristics of several protagonists, such as Jia Niaoliang takes the yuppie route, while Hu Ge takes the cold and unrestrained style; it looks unique and fashionable.
The eight streets that are fashionable are beyond the fashion of "Meteor Garden" are really not exaggerating at all!
While complaining about the TV series, many people are very interested in the outfits of the characters in the play, and they have posted to ask which brand the characters in the play are wearing. There are many girls who follow "Meteor Shower", so naturally, they ask the heroine Xia Youcao which brand is wearing the most.
At almost twelve o'clock, Zhang Ran, who was discussing mergers and acquisitions with the acquisition team in the office, received a text message. When he clicked on it, his expression became a little solemn. The ratings of "Meteor Shower" were only 0.72%.
For ordinary TV series, this rating is good, but for "Meteor Shower", this rating is equivalent to a crushing defeat! (To be continued...)r
Chapter completed!
