Chapter 324: True Palace Fight
The first episode of the drama "The Emperor of Ruzi" tells the story of the death of three generations of emperors in less than four years.
The current talented and wise Emperor Wu died after more than 40 years of reign, and Emperor Heng succeeded to the throne. Three years later, he died of serious illness. His eldest son, Emperor Si, succeeded to the throne in less than his twentieth year and died two months later.
After Emperor Si died, he did not leave any descendants, so he could only choose the successor from the other two sons of Emperor Heng.
Han Ruzi and Donghai King.
The former is a child born to a palace maid, not loved by Emperor Heng, and his mother's family was humble; the latter is a member of the powerful Cui family, and his prestige is extremely high.
Here, Weidu Entertainment has made some adaptations of the original work.
In the original work, the protagonist Han Ruzi and the important supporting role of Donghai, both are very young, at the age of thirteen or fourteen. In the play, the grade of the two is set to be seventeen years old. Mainly considering the actor's issue, Li Ze is in his third year this year, and it may be okay to ask him to play a 17-year-old boy; it is definitely not possible to play a 13 or fourteen-year-old boy.
What's more, the protagonist at the age of thirteen or fourteen is very inappropriate. This is not a youth drama.
The story begins after Emperor Si's death. Han Ruzi was taken into the palace by eunuch Yang Feng, and together with King Donghai, he became the candidate for the emperor and eventually became the emperor.
However, this is just a puppet.
King Donghai was supported by many foreign ministers from outside the court, and it was precisely because of this that the Empress Dowager did not want King Donghai to succeed to the throne. Instead, she chose Han Ruzi, a person with no foundation and better control, as a puppet emperor - and it was just a transition.
During this process, the ministers of the court tried a lot and even rushed to the palace, hoping to make King Donghai the emperor, but ultimately failed.
The first episode, about an hour, finishes the process.
During the whole viewing, Ge Mei was attentive. When she first watched, she had a little scrutiny attitude, but when the plot entered a very important part in the first episode, the whole story was very conscientious, and Ge Mei watched it unconsciously.
Pull the progress bar and watch it? Stop making trouble. From the first minute, the amount of information thrown out is particularly large, and every shot is hopelessly meaningful. During the watching process, Ge Mei felt that she was always using her brain and had no desire to jump at all.
Before I knew it, I finished watching the first episode.
I couldn't help but clicked on the second episode immediately.
The quality did not decline at all. Instead, as the plot entered the story of the emperor, the situation did not improve at all. After the story became more ups and downs, the whole story became more attractive.
As she looked, a sentence from outside her headphones suddenly woke her up.
"What are you looking at?"
"Ah?" Taking off the headphones, Ge Mei found that it was her roommate Dou Min who was back.
Dou Min repeated the question just now.
""The Emperor of Ruzi"!"
"Have you read the "Tiandao Library" I recommend to you?"
"Look."
"I'm handsome?"
"There's only face left."
"What does it mean?" Dou Min was a little unhappy. She couldn't hear any bad words from her.
"No... nothing..." Ge Mei didn't want to argue with her roommates on this matter, otherwise, there would definitely be no good ending.
"The drama is indeed a little bit average..." It seems that Dou Min himself knows the situation, "but it has nothing to do with me Kun! They are all directors and the script is the fault, I Kun has worked hard."
"Yes, yes..." Ge Mei nodded and responded. After she finished speaking, she put on her headphones again and continued to watch.
Dou Minxian was fine, so he stood behind Ge Mei and watched with him for a while.
Although she couldn't hear the sound, after watching for a few minutes, she spoke again: "Hey? Who is this guy? He's pretty handsome."
She talks about the protagonist of "The Emperor of Ruzi", Li Ze, who plays Han Ruzi.
"The protagonist's name seems to be Li Ze." Ge Mei took off her headphones and turned the computer into an external display, then asked simply: "Do you want to watch it together?"
"Okay, tell me the previous plot..." Dou Min moved a bench and came over to watch it together.
...
On the first day of "The Emperor of Ruzi" was launched, the ratings of major comment websites were unlocked.
On Douban, you directly scored 9.0 points. Generally, when the work is just launched, as long as the quality is good, the score will always be higher. After a long time, it will naturally return to a normal level.
But no matter what, the 9.0 score is not low.
Generally speaking, the audience's impression of this work is mainly focused on the series of labels such as "realistic", "actor acting", "Lai Ze is a good actor", "cruel power struggle", etc.
In general, this drama is quite good in the evaluations of all parties.
However, the bad situation is not without it.
In sharp contrast to its pretty good reputation, the results of "The Emperor of Ruzi" on the first day of its launch were not outstanding even if it had a wave of assists in advance.
The pre-sale of the work is different from "The Way of Heaven" and "The Way of Martial Arts" in the summer, which is only 500,000. Including the paid members brought by the work, the income on the eve of the online launch was only about 30 million, which is a slightly sluggish number.
After the work was launched, the number of views on the first day was barely over 100 million in the whole day - this is the number of views that counted all free and paid content.
This is not a drama with a big ambition, it should behave.
Seeing such achievements, Sun Junyi, the operation director of the "dimensional platform", was in a very disappointing mood.
The taste of failure is really bad.
However, after Ye Jiayi and Fan Zhe learned about this, they did not blame him and Wu Jingtong too much.
"Just do our own thing, take your time."
Not being scolded, this is the only thing that made Sun Junyi feel that he was in a pretty good mood.
But in fact, after Lao Sun left, Ye Jiayi could not help but show some frustration.
This kind of mood is not suitable for showing in front of subordinates, but in front of Fan Zhe, Ye Jiayi no longer pretends to be calm anymore.
"This time... we seem to have failed."
Her nature cannot be taller.
But Fan Zhe, who heard this next to him, was not that pessimistic.
"Failed? It seems that it's too early to make a conclusion. I didn't even feel like it was a failure." After a pause, he continued: "I read the audience's comments very well."
"There is a good reputation and poor grades, but the applause is not popular..." Ye Jiayi shook his head helplessly.
This kind of thing is quite common. Not only in TV series, but also in movies, this situation is even more common.
Good quality of the works does not mean that the results will definitely be better.
But despite this, Fan Zhe still maintained a good attitude: "It's too early, do you believe it or not? Although "The Emperor of Ruzi" now seems to have worse results than "Tianhong's "The Way of Heaven", if we look at it in the long run, our results can surpass them."
"Uh..." Ye Jiayi looked at Fan Zhe, not knowing why he was so confident.
