I'm a big star after the funeral

Chapter 160 Chapter 150 1.7 million

Li Chenghao didn't know the situation outside very well at this time. After all, he still had a lot of things to do after returning to his hometown, and he didn't just stay at home.

And if something happened, there should be a phone call.

Like those good news, it doesn't matter if you know it early or know it later, it can't change the result, so there is no need to rush to inform them, and it won't be too late for them to know when they go back.

And at this time, most people, including the media, have more rest, and there are not so many troubles that need to be cared about.

Anyway, at least the whole day of the New Year's Eve, apart from visiting relatives and friends and sweeping graves, Li Chenghao had to go to the temple with his father to worship.

These are local traditions. Even if young people don't pay much attention to it now, as long as they come back home, they will definitely follow the arrangements of the older generation.

No matter what kind of status you have outside, what kind of status you have, when you return to your hometown, you cannot avoid the traditions, rules and human relations that you should follow.

Father Li naturally couldn't help sighing at this time, and he didn't know how long this tradition could last, because even if Li Chenghao followed him now, he might not be willing to come when it's his turn.

He is someone who has experienced it himself, so he can understand this mentality.

Of course, he also knows that the times are different now, and it's not just a personal problem. The previous traditions are gradually disappearing now, and it is not impossible for them to really disappear in the future.

Anyway, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and it will not be something he can manage just by thinking about it.

Originally, this special period does not advocate large-scale gatherings, so it seems that various visits have been reduced a lot, but some normal communication is definitely indispensable. Neighbors walk with each other and relatives are guests. Impossible to put an end to it.

As for temple fairs, arrangements have been made in the village. They will not be concentrated in one day as before, but will be divided into batches by time, which is already very rare.

At the end of the day, when Li Chenghao finished his meal, took a shower and lay on the bed, he was free to pick up his mobile phone and surf the Internet for a while.

He naturally also knew that "A Tale of Two Cities" was going live today. To be honest, he didn't feel it when he didn't think about it before, but now thinking about it, he can't help feeling excited and apprehensive.

Although he didn't have a role in the first few episodes of this drama, the first few episodes are the key to the success of this drama.

Although there is no shortage of dramas with counterattacks in the later stage, if a drama does not have a good start, it is considered to be of good quality and good reputation, and the results will be the same.

Although in terms of the scale of the show's publicity, the premiere is definitely not too bad, but it was actually a failure if it was lower than expected.

When I got the news, I found out that it was about the premiere of "A Tale of Two Cities". The number of views has set a new record. In just eleven hours, the number of views for the first episode has exceeded [-] million.

Together, the two episodes have reached an astonishing 1.7 million views!
What is this concept?

Put a few data to know:

Last year, there were six Penguin Videos that had an average episode viewing volume of over 8 million, and two that were close to [-] million. The total number was [-].

This data is 2 for kiwi fruit, 3 for mango video, and 0 for peach video.

Of course, this doesn’t mean much. After all, let’s not say that the playback volume calculations of each platform are not necessarily consistent. Even if they are consistent, it does not mean that there is no moisture.

Of course, Penguin Video is currently the largest online video platform in China, because it has the most abundant resources and naturally has the most users, not to mention that the several dramas broadcast are also very popular out-of-the-box dramas.

For example, "Sweeping Black Storm", which was popular all over the Internet at that time, was full of discussions on all major platforms, and the topic was extremely high. Passable, because of its subject matter and topicality, it is not surprising to have this result.

Another example is "You Are My Glory". This drama made many drama fans stay up all night chasing the drama with a pink heart. CP is so hot that it is out of the circle, and it can compete for the most popular screen CP last year.

Now this self-made "A Tale of Two Cities", which has withdrawn from the special theater, is also a lineup of strong alliances, which is full of expectations. It has already been out of the circle before it was broadcast.

However, most of the dramas I mentioned before did not exceed the threshold of 1.17 million in the first broadcast. It's a show that's both overwhelmed.

But now the premiere data of "A Tale of Two Cities" is 1.7 million, and it is not over yet. There is still an hour to go, and it is likely to exceed 1.8 or even 1.9 million.

This can't help but make people start to imagine, what kind of results will "A Tale of Two Cities" achieve in the future?
As long as this result is maintained, let alone break the average of 1.5 million, [-] million, or even [-] million in the future, it is really possible to compete for the annual "drama king" standard.

In fact, this result is conceivable after careful study, because although "A Tale of Two Cities" is in such a fiercely competitive event during the Spring Festival, it is not a movie after all, and it is just a gimmick to grab the popularity of the Spring Festival, and it does not conflict with the film market. , Grabbing is also the attention of the TV drama market.

And during the Spring Festival, when all the people are staying at home to find entertainment, and during the period when the epidemic is controlling travel, the appearance of such a drama greatly meets the needs of the audience.

Not to mention that its previous publicity has already made the whole network known, but this drama has not yet been starred, it is an online drama, there is no TV station to "grab attention", and it is still broadcast exclusively on the platform, so the audience will Relatively concentrated.

Moreover, Penguin Video also understands the importance of opening a new theater this time. It didn’t do any VIP previews, and directly opened it to all audiences for free, so that everyone will at least try it, and it’s not too late to leave if it doesn’t suit your appetite.

Of course, most people will stay. The subject matter has never been a problem. A really good shot may not be liked by everyone, but everyone can watch it.

Considering various factors in this way, it is not surprising to have such a result.

Of course, grades are one thing. Good grades forged under multiple factors are actually not too high a reference, at least they cannot determine the future trend.

Although the basic market is big now, even after a big dive, there will be a good performance.

Therefore, the word-of-mouth of the audience after watching it is also very important. Naturally, Li Chenghao went to various platforms to have a look, and then he was relieved.

The ratings of DB are not so fast yet, but judging from the latest reviews, they are basically positive, mostly five-star and four-star, occasionally three-star, and no two-star or below, which shows that they still approve of this drama.

And at Station B, "A Tale of Two Cities" is also on the hot search. You must know that this is a Penguin Video drama. Shushu seems to be somewhat taboo in this regard, and avoid it if you can.

Of course, I will occasionally let go a little bit, depending on the situation.

I don't know what happened today, there was no restriction, and there happened to be a video related to "A Tale of Two Cities" on the trending website, but I checked the time, it was two days ago.

The BGM is still Li Chenghao's "Twin Cities", but there are a lot of newly released scenes from the crew in the screen, but they are all previews, which is naturally not worth seeing for Li Chenghao.

According to the usual practice, click on the comment area, press the time, and scroll to the latest comments. Sure enough, many of them came to find the video just like me, only to find that it was the previous video.

Then there are a lot of Amway stickers, but it looks a bit like a navy.

But the essence of human beings is a repeater, some people just like to copy and paste like this, maybe.

The playback and likes of this video were good, but the coins were a little short. Li Chenghao invested a coin and continued to refresh the recommendation page. He still couldn't find the relevant clips, so he simply forgot about it and quit.

Then I went to the Straight Guys Forum and found the film and television comment section, and sure enough, the screen was full of "A Tale of Two Cities".

It seems that the timeliness of the comments is faster. Many people have already given their impressions, some say good things and some say bad things.

In fact, it's also normal, as mentioned in the comments and replies, radish and green vegetables have their own preferences, and it's fine if you don't like it or not, if you have to force yourself to watch it, isn't it uncomfortable.

Those who can continue to watch, naturally most of them still like to watch, but there must be a small number of people who watch for criticism or nitpicking. Such people are either abnormal or have other purposes, and there is no need to pay attention to them.

Then Li Chenghao posted on Weibo. The last Weibo was the last time... No, it was last night. After all, we must wish everyone a new year on New Year's Eve.

Then I found the Weibo of the crew I was following, forwarded their congratulatory post, and then checked the comments and trending searches.

In the comments, there is actually a comment about "return of missing persons", but considering that comments like "the last time I posted on Weibo was last year" are indispensable, and I understand the meaning, they are all shrewd.

As expected, "A Tale of Two Cities" also appeared on the hot search, "A Tale of Two Cities premiered", "A Tale of Two Cities premiered over [-] million", "A Tale of Two Cities pays tribute to Infernal Affairs", there was also a topic about Liang Chao and Liu Dezhong, and there was even a "Two Cities "This song can almost be said to have been screened by this show.

With such high popularity and good reviews, there should be no need to worry about the subsequent results.

Li Chenghao closed his phone and went to sleep contentedly.

I slept comfortably this time, and I slept until dawn, mainly because I was a little tired during the day, and I surfed the Internet for more than two hours at night, and I didn’t go to bed until almost two o’clock in the middle of the night. This has broken through his sleeping habits in the past few months It's time.

So although it is comfortable when sleeping, after waking up at seven o'clock according to the biological clock, it is unavoidable to be a little sluggish.

"Wow, you have dark circles under your eyes, did you become a thief last night?"

The bathroom on the second floor is naturally the same. Yang Taihe also went to bed early and woke up early, and came to wash up at about the same time as Li Chenghao, and was startled when he saw his eyes.

Li Chenghao hurriedly took a picture in the mirror, the dark circles under his eyes were really exaggerated.

The main reason is that the "health regimen" in the past few months has almost disappeared the dark circles under the eyes, and now it is especially obvious when they reappear.

"Last night, I wanted to sleep, so I checked the news, clicked on the news about 'A Tale of Two Cities', and then it got out of hand..." Li Chenghao smiled wryly.

It's still poor self-control, and it's hard to guard against it before you know it.

Yang Taihe was a little speechless, but he also nodded his head to express his understanding, "This drama is indeed very important to you, and it's okay to pay more attention to it. But in the future, you still need to pay attention to rest, and it's not when you have to work, so there is no need to stay up late."

It's true, they really have to work day and night upside down, high-intensity continuous rotation, I have experienced it when I was on the set of "A Tale of Two Cities", otherwise Li Chenghao's face would not be swollen for a while, it is the biological clock disorder.

But even at that time, Li Chenghao had enough rest. He just took advantage of the rest time to rest quickly, but also because he was not the most important role after all, so he could be a little lazy.

Now that you are on vacation, you should take care of your health and take a good rest, otherwise how will you have the energy to cope with such a busy schedule in the future?
"How about it, are your grades okay?"

"Not only is it okay, it should be regarded as a broken record. I don't know exactly what the record is, but it is very impressive anyway. After looking around, the word-of-mouth is also very good, and it should be able to stabilize in the future."

Yang Taihe nodded, and said with a smile: "So I told you everything, don't worry at all. You don't have to believe too much if you say something like people in the circle cheering each other up, but it's better to get involved in it yourself. For your escort, they will definitely not play tricks.

"After so many years of experience, if you don't have any strength or vision, how can you mess around, don't you think?"

Li Chenghao nodded. Indeed, many times in the circle, personal relationships are more inseparable than interests, especially those from the Hong Kong circle, and they are particularly grouped together.

It doesn’t work if you don’t form a group. After all, to a certain extent, they are also “outsiders” to the mainland entertainment circle, just like the incident between the bullet and Dawei Tianlong, which caused the confrontation between the Hong Kong circle and the mainland. In fact, from this critical moment You can see something by standing in line.

Of course, with the infiltration of capital in recent years, no circle can compare to the interest circle of capital, and the relationship in this aspect has naturally weakened a lot.

At the same time, the friendship from the early years is still almost there, so at this time Liu Dezhong and the others can do things more according to their own wishes, choosing the characters and books they like.

"Hey, it's all up? Today, I cook sweet potato porridge and pickled radish. The old Wang's family pickled it themselves."

Although one side supports the other side, population migration is now the norm. For example, Lao Wang next door, they used to come from Shandong, and the family's handicraft of pickling radish is very popular in the whole village.

Li Chenghao also remembered the taste of this childhood, so he naturally missed it very much. It wasn't amazing to eat it, but it gave him a familiar feeling, which added a lot to this simple food combination.

"You can have a good rest at home today. Hey, Taihe, can you play chess?"

Li Chenghao saw Yang Taihe froze for a moment, then looked at his father's competitive expression, and suddenly smiled secretly.

It seems that he offended someone so badly on New Year's Eve that he had to find a place in front of him.

"Uh, not so good, okay..."
