Chapter 228 The love apartment really doesn’t work

Yuan Huhu and Taro left with the pile of documents, leaving Xu Qing sitting in the office in a daze for who knows how long. Xu Qing patted his face and started revising the script of "Source Code" again.

Time passed by quietly, and in the blink of an eye, it was evening, and the fourth or fifth episodes of "Love Apartment" were launched on Shonan Satellite TV.

The next day, Lin Yao got the results as usual and ranked 12th, catching up with the level of the initial broadcast.

He informed Xu Qing of the news. Xu Qing didn't say much, saying that he knew and that he had more important things to do today.

In the early morning, the dancers from Zhaojun's departure were all picked up by a rented bus and headed to Nanpei Satellite TV. There was also a small truck behind them, which contained the props for the recording set and the actors' costumes and props.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the group arrived at the recording point, and the actors began to put on makeup and change clothes. They hired part-time housekeepers and began to arrange the stage design under the command of Xu Qing.

Dance dramas naturally have music. Fortunately, these things are packaged and given at once after winning this prize, so Xu Qing does not need to buy them. Otherwise, just buying the music for a dance drama would probably cost more than 200 points.

At 11 o'clock, the arrangements were completed and the actors rehearsed at the recording venue.

We had a meal and a break at noon, and at 1:30 p.m., we officially started recording.

Xu Qing sat behind the monitor. For this recording, there were four cameras recording at the same time. Some were shooting long-range shots of the fixed stage, some were shooting long-range shots of the moving stage, and there were also fixed shots of the main character Qi Xi and her.

Close shot.

There is no close-up shot, the closest one is a close-up shot. This is dancing after all. It is not appropriate to take a close-up shot with a face full of laughter. The close-up shots can capture the chest and head, and can record the movements of the upper limbs.

Of course, there is a big difference between filming a dance drama video and simply filming a stage play.

The specific difference is that when shooting a video or a dance, you may need to repeat it more than a dozen times, recording the material from different angles and scenes in order to achieve the best video effect. This is to use lens language to enrich the video content. By the way,

To make up for the dancer's lack of skill, it's not a big problem if you make a mistake in the middle of the dance, just stop and start over.

However, dance drama stage performances are all about being done in one go and making no mistakes.

As I said before, the prologue and the Yeting chapter are not difficult in the entire dance drama, so after such a long period of rehearsal, the dancers performed well, and there were no problems during the filming. Everything went smoothly.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, after several hours of recording, the video of the dance drama, which only takes 10 minutes in total, was recorded.

Xu Qing was really relieved now. If it was difficult to record these two chapters, then he might as well not record the next ones.

"Mr. Xu, are you here today?" The person in charge of photography next to him said to Xu Qing. It was Xu Qing who made the request for this photography, and they will implement it. Now that the filming is over, naturally he has to ask.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. When can we finish the editing?" Xu Qing asked with a smile.

"Two weeks at most." The person in charge of photography said a conservative figure. To be honest, for this kind of ten-minute video, which doesn't require any special effects, a week is enough.

"Okay." Two weeks is not a long time. I just want to take advantage of this gap to rehearse the dance content that will follow. I will shoot five or six chapters before posting them, so as to achieve weekly updates.

After communicating with the person in charge of photography, Xu Qing went backstage. At this time, the dancers backstage were removing their makeup, and the part-time housekeeper was packing up the props and transporting them back later.

The atmosphere backstage was very lively, and it could be seen that everyone was very relaxed. Taking advantage of this time, Xu Qing announced that everyone would have two days off and would come back two days later to rehearse the follow-up content.

In the evening, Xu Qing organized a dinner party for them, but he did not go to attend. He only arranged for two security drivers to watch outside and pay the bill later, while taking care of their safety.

Although these dancers did not come from the same dance academy, they are all classmates, but they are leaders. They always cursed during rehearsals. In the past, they were purely role-players who made others uncomfortable. It is better not to go. Qi Xi did not participate, so he followed

When Xu Qing went back, she also felt that she would not be able to let go of those students.

One night passed and the next day came in the blink of an eye.

During the day, Xu Qing was still spending his time writing scripts. At six o'clock in the evening, station D launched four or five episodes of Love Apartment, and the fifth episode started to be paid. However, today is Thursday, and Xiangnan Satellite TV did not arrange a live broadcast of Love Apartment.

In the evening, Xu Qing waited for news about Huang Jian.

But before the news of the yellow inspection came, I first got a call from Lisa.

"Xu Qing, that's the image of me in your mind??" As soon as the call was connected, Lisa's roar was heard.

"What do you mean?" Xu Qing was really confused, what is this and what is it?

"What's going on with Lisa Rong in your love apartment?"

"Damn it, would you believe it if I said it was a coincidence?" Xu Qing fainted. In the fourth or fifth episode, Zeng Xiaoxian's leader Rong Rongtu appeared, a mean-tongued but somewhat cute leader. Damn it.

Lisa's name is Lisa, and Lisa's name is also Lisa. Isn't this a coincidence?

"Do you think I will believe it?"

"It's really a coincidence." When Xu Qing changed the script, he didn't think about it at all. Moreover, Lisa Rong is such a classic character. How could she change it? Lu Xiaobu's ex-girlfriend and Zeng Xiaoxian's nemesis. This is...

"You just did it on purpose. You just wrote it. Is it similar to me to write something like this?"

"Um... I shouldn't say it, except that they don't look alike, they are somewhat similar in other aspects."

"Get lost." Lisa cursed.

"I have time tomorrow. Does your uncle have time to meet?" Xu Qing quickly changed the subject.

"I'll ask and I'll answer you later." Seeing that she had something serious to do, Lisa stopped worrying about the topic and hung up the phone after saying that.

Xu Qing was interrupted by Lisa and couldn't continue writing the script, so he started reading the reviews of "Love Apartment".

There are still mostly good reviews, and basically there are not too many negative reviews.

At 11 o'clock, Huang Jian's call finally came.

"The data is out."

"How about it?"

"The number of new members in five hours is pitifully small." Huang Jian did not give a specific number, but judging from his tone, the number of new members may not even be 50,000.

"How is the playback volume of the fifth episode?" Xu Qing asked directly. The fifth episode is the number of membership episodes, and the playback volume can reflect a big issue.

"The five-hour playback volume will reach one million. For the previous free episodes, the average playback volume has reached 15 million. It's a bit of a drastic drop." Huang Jian's tone was full of doubts.

"Sure enough, it seems that I guessed it right." Xu Qing sighed. The ratings of iPartment will really be low. It is now twelve. It is lucky to be able to break into the top five. The top ten is normal. If you want to repeat the start, it is really difficult.

Spring and Autumn Dream, this drama is not suitable to be shown on TV.

"What do you mean?" Huang Jian asked.

"Brother Huang, do you think the love apartment looks good?" Xu Qing did not answer directly, but asked a question.

"Doesn't it look good?" Huang Jian said matter-of-factly.

"I also think it's good to watch, and netizens also think it's good to watch, but it's useless. The viewing volume of iPartment and its ability to stimulate new members are obviously not good, and the ratings on Xiangnan Satellite TV are probably not good either," Xu Qing said.

"Why, it's not useful to be good-looking?" Huang Jian was puzzled. When making a drama, isn't it necessary to pursue a good-looking film? Now that good-looking is not enough, what direction should the filming of dramas take in the future?

"Because iPartment is a sitcom, it is different from suspense dramas like Beginning. Every episode of Beginning has a deduction. This deduction will make the audience eager to see how the following plot develops, so its ratings and excitement are

The ability to add new members is so good.

But one episode of Love Apartment is a unit story. Once you finish watching it, you will finish watching it. The only highlight of this drama is the relationship between Zeng Xiaoxian and Hu Yifei at the end. Therefore, those who have finished watching the first season may be able to look forward to the second season, but after watching

People who have finished the previous episode don’t have the sense of urgency to watch the next episode, which is a common problem in sitcoms.”

Xu Qing explained this. He figured it out when Lin Yao called him and asked him to think about why the ratings of iPartment were so poor. He was waiting for the data on the number of views of this member today.

.

If the data of member playback volume drops sharply compared to the free playback data, it proves that he is right.

"Is there such a thing?" Huang Jian was surprised after hearing this, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make sense.

"So, TV stations no longer make sitcoms. It's not that they don't have the ability to do it, but they can't guarantee ratings. At that time, the Internet was not yet developed, there were few home computers, and it was even impossible to watch TV on mobile phones, so sitcoms had a chance to survive. After all,

Sitcoms are good to watch, and everyone, regardless of age or gender, is willing to stay in front of the TV to watch them.

It’s different now. Everyone uses their mobile phones to watch TV. If it’s not the kind of TV where you have to watch the next episode, your eyes will be easily diverted. There are also very few people who sign up for a membership for this kind of drama that tells one story per episode, because there is no

Necessary, there is actually not much difference between looking at the back and not looking at the back." Xu Qing continued.

"Then will our love apartment be filmed for another season?" Huang Jian's heart dropped when he heard this analysis.
