Chapter 718 Shadow
In early November, "Don't Talk to Strangers" was broadcast on the Jinling TV News Comprehensive Channel, which is a local TV station that only covers the surrounding areas of Jinling. .
There is no large-scale publicity, and no media rush to interview, which is quite low-key.
In fact, this TV series is not easy to sell, and there are also problems in censorship.
The main reason is that there are too many violent scenes in the play. The members of the review committee have concerns and require appropriate deletion, but deleting these shots weakens the domestic violence reflected in the TV series.
If the plot is just downplayed without pain, it will be difficult for the audience to pay attention to the harm caused by domestic violence.
Without strength and depth, this TV series loses its significance for shooting.
How violent scenes in the play have reached?
The cameramen have the urge to strike when filming. Of course, this is shooting a TV series and they won’t really do anything, but that violent atmosphere brings great psychological pressure to the crew.
The crew members were very silent during the three months of filming, and the filming was finally relieved.
Liu Tao didn't think there was anything scary when he was reading the script, but when he was on the scene, he really cried after being "beaten" every time, and there were very few performances.
On the one hand, it is the reason for the plot, and on the other hand, it is related to Feng Yuanzheng's interpretation of the character.
Borrowing positions is generally used to shoot such violent shots.
Feng Yuanzheng slapped him, and Liu Tao gave him a distorted reaction, showing a painful expression. That's it.
Although Liu Tao knew that Feng Yuanzheng would not really hit her, she always felt that Feng Yuanzheng really wanted to hit her. From his eyes to his actions, it all means that he had this kind of thought.
Even if she is mentally prepared, she is still frightened and will be afraid of filming violent scenes.
What if Feng Yuanzheng is too immersed in the role and really slaps over and she can't avoid it, this situation is not gone.
Some are because the actors are too devoted, some are because both parties do not cooperate well, or the actors do this on purpose.
In short, it tortured Liu Tao so much that she went on vacation after filming, and she had to adjust for a while.
"Don't Talk to Strangers" was completed in August, and it took two months to deal with the review alone.
According to the regulations of the General Administration, after receiving complete review materials, the TV drama review agency shall make a decision on whether to grant administrative licenses within 50 days.
The time for organizing expert review is thirty days.
If the modification is required after review, the provincial radio and television administrative department shall put forward the modification opinions, and the review agency may submit the review again after the modification.
Haomeng Company and the Review Committee of the TV Department of the General Administration repeatedly communicated and made some concessions in the plot before obtaining the release license for the TV series.
This means that the TV series can be traded on the market.
Many TV station leaders have little intention to buy after watching this series. The theme of domestic violence is niche and is not as popular as dramas and historical dramas and idol dramas.
Ordinary people generally do not like too realistic themes. The elderly love historical dramas, while young people advocate idol dramas. This is the mainstream of the domestic TV drama market at present.
In addition, there are too many violent shots, which can easily cause disgust among the audience, and the ratings are not guaranteed, which is too risky.
China TV Station and major provincial satellite TV stations were not interested, so Haomeng Company had to contact the next level local TV stations.
This is normal in this era of pursuing ratings.
Half of the TV series produced in China that produces tens of thousands of episodes every year cannot be broadcast on TV, and they face the problems of overcapacity and fierce competition.
Since there are so many TV series to choose from, the TV station naturally wants to buy TV series with ratings guaranteed.
The so-called viewing guarantee means that TV series that are popular and popular, niche or alternative themes that the audience likes to watch are not favored by TV stations.
This is an interesting phenomenon.
Some viewers complained that TV was full of history and idol dramas, and they were almost vomiting. Experts also called on TV drama themes to require innovation and creativity is the king.
At the same time, the ratings of Shihe idol dramas continued to rise, and TV stations purchased a large number of similar dramas.
If the audience really doesn't want to watch it, then don't watch it, as the ratings are reduced, and the TV station will naturally consider buying other types of TV series to form a virtuous cycle.
This shows that the domestic TV drama market is in a vicious cycle and has many reasons.
The audience's opinions are not unified, and the ratings only reflect the overall trend and cannot be refined.
Rural audiences like to watch dramas and historical dramas, intellectuals want to watch dramas with a certain depth, young people like to watch urban fashion dramas, and girls like to watch TV dramas with love themes.
The popularity of a TV series is a comprehensive factor.
For example, "The Legend of the White Snake", it not only satisfies the elderly's love for legends, but also has fashionable elements and handsome men and beauties that young people like, as well as intellectuals' interpretation of traditional culture.
The domestic TV drama market is still immature and lacks a set of effective solutions.
In the United States, various TV stations produce programs for specific target audiences.
Some TV stations specialize in science fiction themes, while some TV stations are good at urban emotions. They type the theme of TV series and cultivate their own loyal audiences.
They also speak with ratings, and TV series with low ratings will be cut.
This rating refers to the refined rating.
For example, this TV station focuses on science fiction dramas, and the audience is basically science fiction fans. The ratings of each science fiction drama represent the love of these science fiction fans.
Domestic viewership refers to the opinions of all viewers. They are too general and have little reference value. They can easily mislead market demand and cause follow-up shooting.
These are two different operating models.
Lin Zixuan thought that using Liu Tao as the starring actor should attract the interest of provincial satellite TV stations, but he did not expect it to be unsatisfactory.
Feng Yuanzheng is very famous in the circle, but the audience is not very familiar with him, and he is not a star.
With the efforts of Good Dream Company, Jinling TV News Comprehensive Channel took over "Don't Talking to Strangers".
They are not optimistic about this drama, but more of a try-and-see attitude. Not many people pay attention to the domestic violence theme, which is just in the past decade.
In the early 1990s, the term "domestic violence" appeared in domestic media.
2000 is the International Year of Family, with the annual slogan "Eliminating Domestic Violence". November 25th of each year is the International Day for Eliminating Violence against Women.
The TV station is planning to use this as a promotional point, and may have unexpected results.
When "Don't Talk to Strangers" was first aired, it did not attract the attention of the media and the audience. It was more like a suspense drama, with a bit mysterious and depressing atmosphere.
After watching the first two episodes, the audience changed the channel and did not follow them.
It was not until Feng Yuanzheng's acting skills exploded, showing his fierce side and beating Liu Tao that the audience was deeply shocked.
This character is imprinted in the hearts of the audience and becomes an indelible shadow. (To be continued...)
