On July 12, the overall ratings of the TV series "Happiness to Ten Thousands of Households" on the evening of the 11th were released (Kuyun). For Dragon TV and Beijing Satellite TV, both ratings exceeded 0.6%. That night, the show aired episodes 23 and 24. After the TV series started airing, Kuyun's ratings could only remain at 0.5% for a long time (this number was the same for both satellite TV stations). This TV series was once considered to have entered a ratings bottleneck period.
However, the overall ratings on the night of the 11th exceeded 0.6%, and the peak ratings exceeded 0.7% and were heading towards 0.8%. Obviously, "Happiness to Ten Thousand Houses" broke through its 0.5% ratings bottleneck and entered a new ratings height. Why was the plot on the night of the 11th able to be recognized by the audience's ratings? There are actually phenomena and content hidden here that all TV drama workers should pay attention to.
In the content of the drama before episode 23, most of them were misunderstanding narratives. How the He Xingfu family had disputes one after another because of their misunderstandings with the Wan Shan Tang family, and even how the He Xingfu family had misunderstandings with the Wan Chuan family. There was a misunderstanding and he had to go to the city. How Wang Qinglai had a misunderstanding with his younger brother and his younger brother's father-in-law and became depressed and so on. As I have said in previous drama review articles, this misunderstanding-based creation method can easily cause the plot to be garbled and distorted. It is a creative technique only used in party sketches. Such misunderstandings are superimposed on a large scale. Even if "Happiness Comes to Ten Thousand Houses" has actors such as Luo Jin and Zhao Liying who are responsible for the ratings, it will still encounter a ratings bottleneck.
However, starting from the 23rd episode, "Happiness to Ten Thousand Houses" has actually entered a new narrative stage, which is the growth style of real little people and the singing style of peasant spirit. Moreover, the content of episodes 23 and 24 no longer focuses on satirizing the so-called bad qualities of farmers, but focuses their narrative on the passionate praise of small people and small farmers. This kind of singing is the most important reason for the sudden surge in the ratings of the show. Because the people finally saw the praise of the people themselves in this TV series.
The ratings of "Happiness to Ten Thousand Houses" skyrocketed that night starting from the 24th episode. Why did the ratings suddenly rise at this point in time? Because in the plot, dozens of farmers who came to file a lawsuit poured into Fangyuan Law Firm. After seeing the leakage in the law firm, the simple farmers did not dislike anything, but helped He Xingfu deal with the leakage problem. Some people Help mop the floor, and someone helps catch the rain. What kind of spirit is this? You do one thing for the farmers, and the farmers do a hundred things for you.
and even later in the plot, Guan Tao and a team of three lawyers went to the countryside to help farmers win the apple contract case. Farmers surrounded Guan Tao and others, scrambling to get them to the Eat at home. This kind of scene is the most valuable part of the entire TV series. Compared to the overly satirical content in the play about farmers like Wang Qinglai who move into the city, I don't know how much better it is. Guan Tao helped his farmer friends fight the lawsuit and stood at the emotional point of the audience. TV drama audiences, especially living room audiences, demand simple expressions of emotion rather than excessive satire on farmer friends.
And He Xingfu, who is on duty in the law firm, has a conversation with the CEO of a multinational company, which complements the lawsuit filed by lawyer Guan Tao against a farmer friend. He Xingfu's line mentioned that legal workers should not forget their original intention, serve the people , not because of whether the service recipients have money or not. These words have an emotional resonance effect on the audience. The advanced stage of a TV series is to win the emotional recognition of the audience.
Guan Tao and others are obviously legal workers who have never forgotten their original aspirations. A good lawyer who has the courage to serve the people finally won a large order of 3 million yuan per year by virtue of his simplicity, kindness and professional legal work ability. For the audience, the plot of this 3 million-dollar deal is obviously in line with the audience's expectations - simple and kind-hearted audiences, with such simple emotional needs, cannot let honest people suffer.Just like when the show darkened a simple and kind-hearted honest man like Wang Qinglai earlier in the show, it would inevitably make a large number of viewers disgusted with the "similarity of opposites."
Looking at the characters of He Xingfu and Guan Tao, it is actually because they "serve the people" that they become very outstanding characters. The first role that Luo Jin was remembered by the old editor was not his role in idol dramas or costume dramas, but the role of Pu Quansheng in the TV series "The Country Is So Beautiful". This is a character who truly serves the people. character of. This time, Guan Tao, brought by Luo Jin, still has the spirit of "serving the people" as a legal worker in his body and bones. This is the most important reason why Luo Jin can be remembered by the audience.
He Xingfu, it can be said that this role is the role that Zhao Liying can really be remembered by the audience. Even if Zhao Liying's fans were blown away by her earlier fantasy dramas and idol dramas, they were nothing more than passing smoke. The roles that actors can really be remembered by the audience are definitely simple and kind-hearted characters in realistic themes. In "Happiness to Ten Thousands of Families", He Xingfu stood in the position of farmers and mobilized Guan Tao and other three lawyers again and again. Don't forget the case of the farmer friends, drink the bacon porridge of the farmer friends, and think about the farmer friends. Apple case!
The character of He Xingfu has a strong humanistic atmosphere, which can even be said to be the atmosphere of traditional Chinese intellectuals, with a simple and strong people's perspective and stance. In the 24th episode, when He Xingfu, a simple farmer, discussed with Guan Tao whether he should take 60,000 or 90,000 yuan as a share, his simplicity made Zhao Liying stand at the pinnacle of acting skills among popular actors. Once the character becomes a character, so does the actor.
"Happiness to Ten Thousand Houses" was able to break through the bottleneck of 0.5% in ratings because of the hero and heroine's courage to "serve the people." Luo Jin and Zhao Liying will also be remembered by a wider audience for their roles as Guan Tao and He Xingfu. In contrast, the show was distorted due to misunderstandings in its earlier creation, and the darkening of the simple farmer Wang Qinglai was infuriating. This time, it finally got on the right track and stood on the emotional point that the audience really needed. (Text/Ma Qingyun)
