Chapter One Hundred and One: Resonance

  The next day, Zhuang Yongping called Lu Li and told him the national ratings for "The Legend of Arching Hero" on its premiere day. By the second episode, the ratings had risen again by a significant margin.

  Lu Li was not aware of the ratings situation in this world, but hearing this data did not make him very satisfied. He remembered that on Earth, even after 2000, TV dramas' ratings continued to decline, but some good TV dramas could still break 5 or 6 percent, and regional ratings breaking 10 percent were also possible.

  But now hearing that "The Legend of Arching Hero" premiere's ratings are only 2.41, instinctively think that such ratings aren't very good.

  "Oh," Lu Li said calmly after hearing it.

  "I'm going, 2.41 and you're still not satisfied?" Hearing the dissatisfaction in Lu Li's tone, Zhuang Yongping exclaimed exaggeratedly on the other end of the phone.

  Is it because of his high self-demand? Lu Li didn't know, but he was indeed not satisfied with such a result, because his expectation for "The Archer" was extremely high.

  "It's not that I'm dissatisfied, it's just that I had very high expectations for 'The Condor Hero'," Lu Li said.

  "Alright, such ratings are quite good. Last night's simultaneous broadcast has already surpassed several other popular TV dramas. And 'The Archer' has only just started with its first two episodes, I believe it will continue to grow in popularity." said Zhuang Yongping.

  After hanging up the phone, I started browsing online to see how netizens evaluated it. The ratings seem to be okay according to Zhuang Yongping's statement, now let's see how the audience evaluates it. The audience's evaluation still has a great impact on the TV drama's later ratings.

  Just logged in Weibo, Lu Li suddenly found that the first place on the hot topic list was "Are you satisfied with 'The Archer'?".

  After clicking in, I found that this was a topic initiated by a netizen, and the content is as follows.

  "The highly anticipated TV series 'The Legend of the Condor Hero' premiered last night. After watching it, are you satisfied with this TV series?"

  Under the topic, it is divided into two parties: satisfied (red) and dissatisfied (blue).

  At a glance, the total number of people participating in the topic discussion has exceeded 10 million, no wonder it can be ranked first on the topic list. Among these people, the red side occupies an overwhelming advantage and is satisfied with the TV series "Lü Zhi".

  "Very satisfying, whether it's the theme song or the opening scene, it makes people look forward to it." Xiangyun Duo Duo.

  "Satisfied, the screen production is excellent, no less than a movie, the actors' acting skills are impressive." Cloudy and foggy.

  "Uh-huh, supportive, and the actors' costume designs are great, still continuing the characteristics of Ren Tang's ancient idol drama, highly praised. No sunshine, no stopping."

  "I'm a fan of 'The Legend of the Condor Hero', I have a deep affection for it, and the TV series' plot is very faithful to the original novel, so I must support it." Each knows their own warmth and coolness.

  Lu Li glanced over the red team's comments and nodded, it seems that most of the audience still has a relatively good evaluation of "The Legend of the Condor Hero". Then Lu Li shifted his gaze to the blue team.

  "Not satisfied, the plot is too dragging. After watching two episodes, the protagonist is still a little kid, not good to watch." You are on the other side of the ocean.

  "Agreed, the plot is too dragging."

  Ludie found that most of the blue side were dissatisfied with the slow plot, thinking that after two episodes, the protagonist was still a child and didn't make sense. Of course, there were also some brainless black fans, which Ludie directly ignored.

  "The Legend of the Condor Hero" starts off slow, which is unavoidable given its adherence to the original work. Fortunately, those who are dissatisfied are in the minority, and most people have nothing but praise for it.

  That's enough. With such an evaluation, some people who are still watching may see the evaluation and start deciding whether to watch or not, which is very beneficial for attracting non-fans audience.

  It's still relatively early now, and many people will start their summer vacation a bit later, so there may be more people discussing this on Weibo later.

  Moreover, Lu Li also found that there were many people on Weibo asking about him, after all, his name appeared in the opening credits many times, it's hard not to attract attention.

  Lu Lide's book fans see such questions and always introduce them in detail, making many people who know Lu Lide for the first time admire him. Lu Lide's reputation has increased a lot, and the number of Weibo fans has also increased significantly.

  Lu Di was very satisfied with the result, although it wasn't his company that produced the TV series. He couldn't let a classic go bad in his hands. Judging from the audience's reaction, it's not bad so far.

  Huawei TV broadcast "Shooting Hoops", because it was during the summer vacation, there was no distinction between weekends and weekdays, but instead two episodes were played every night at 8 o'clock.

  As the plot continues to develop, Guo Jing and Yang Kang grow up, and the story becomes more wonderful. The ratings also rise steadily, easily winning the first week of summer vacation viewing champion.

  Ren Tang's film and Huahai Weishi are both overjoyed.

  "Ah Li, Ren Tang Film has already transferred the money to our company account, a total of 48.84 million yuan. Among them, according to the data provided by Ren Tang Film, the price for the first round of broadcast rights for 'The Archer' is 800,000 yuan per episode, and there are 58 episodes in total, which is 46.4 million yuan, basically breaking even. Adding the second-round broadcasts on four satellite TV stations, after deducting the 50 million yuan investment, the profit is 66 million yuan. Our investment of 18 million yuan plus the 2% script share, and finally including the principal, totals 48.84 million yuan." Meng Qi came over to Lu Li's side and explained the accounts to him step by step.

  Lu Li couldn't help but lick his lips at the mention of this, as the return on investment for this TV series was quite high. However, Lu Li also thought that movies were even more profitable, provided that your movie could guarantee a good box office performance; otherwise, it was possible to lose money.

  "Hmm, I see. Is the budget for 'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber' out yet?" Lu Li asked.

  "It's already been decided, if we invite a big star to perform at a high price, the total investment will be around 40 million. If we can invite someone from Tang Movie's artist list at a lower price, this investment can still be reduced." Meng Qi replied.

  "Alright then, let's set aside more than 40 million for now and take out 20 million temporarily. Together with the 20 million invested by investors, it will be used as investment for 'The Heaven Sword'." Lu Li said.

  "Mm." Meng Qi nodded in agreement.

  The funds are a bit more abundant. Lu Li let out a sigh of relief, and after deducting the download fees for "Iron Blooded Dan Xin" that would arrive next month, they could have around 30 million in liquid assets.

  It's still early, so Lu Li prepares to go find Lu Qiang to discuss the start of filming for "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".

  Just then, Zhang Fengruo walked in from outside, ran excitedly to Lu Li and said: "Lu Li, Zhou Zuo asked me to tell you that the post-production of 'Me' is complete, he wants you to go take a look."

  "Oh, is it finally done?" Lu Li heard this and followed Zhang Fengruo into the recording studio.

  There are very few people in the entertainment industry who can do post-production at the same time as Tang Dynasty Film and Television, so they have already completed the post-production of their TV series, while I still haven't finished the post-production of my album.

  Now that the post-production of "Me" is done, Lu Li is also very happy, and he has been waiting for a long time.

  "Director Zhou, is post-production complete?" Director Zhou has now become the nickname for Zhou Chuanjun in Bieli Entertainment, almost everyone calls him that.

  "Hmm, just finished it today." Zhou Chuanjun said expressionlessly.

  "That was made by Xin Su Zhou." Lu Li said.

  "Nothing much, just listen first." Zhou Chuanjun said as he played the music.

  Lu Li heard this and calmed down.

  Sometimes I feel like myself

  Like a little bird

  Want to fly

  But however hard it tries, it can't fly high

  ……

  The first song played was "I Am a Little Bird".

  Lu Li listened to the song with extremely clear sound quality coming from the speaker, nodding her head as she listened. After post-processing, the effect was obviously different from when it was first recorded.

  Lu Li listened to this song very satisfactorily and smiled: "Very good, it seems that the release time of this album is not far away."

  Lu Li walked out of the recording studio at noon and didn't go back to the office but went out for lunch instead.

  In the afternoon, Lu Li finally found Lu Qiang and said: "The post-production of 'Me' has been completed. I don't know how well the release preparations have gone?"

  "Uh, everything is ready. The company's plan is to first send a lead song to the radio station for its premiere broadcast, then upload it to YY Music Network, followed by promotion on TV stations, and finally the new album release conference." Lu Qiang heard Lu Li's words and spoke out the plan.

  "New album release conference?" Lu Li frowned and said: "In Huajing?"

  "No, after all, Huajing is not the entertainment center of Huaxia, so the new album launch conference will be arranged in Huajing." Lu Qiang explained.

  "Is it Hua Jing? Then let's not have the new people who haven't arrived yet come to Hua Qing for now. When the time comes, we can hold a signing ceremony for them at the press conference for the new album release, and that will also create some momentum." Lu Li suggested after hearing this.

  "Alright." Lu Qiang nodded and said. In his opinion, such an action was unnecessary, and holding such a ceremony for a newcomer like this had almost no effect. But since Lu Li wanted to do so, it didn't matter much, and Lu Qiang naturally wouldn't object.

  "New album's post-production is finally complete, the first single will also be premiered on radio soon, hope everyone will support it then."

  Lu Lian's fans saw this Weibo and asked about the premiere radio station and date, but Lu Lian didn't know these information either, so he couldn't answer and had to reply asking everyone to wait for further notice.

  However, when it came to determining the lead single, internal meetings at the company also fell into a deadlock, with some people thinking this song was good and others thinking that one was good. The reason for this is that every song on the album is a classic.

  To be honest, such a song can be placed in someone else's album and every song can be used as the main song, so it also makes the company people start to quarrel.

  In the end, Lu Li decided to use the same-name song "I" as the first wave of main hits, and this matter was settled.
