Chapter 230 The first boost for "Fate" to take off(1/2)
The next morning, Chao TV announced to the public the ratings of the third episode of "Fatestaynight" last night.
The eye-catching title congratulated the third episode of "Fatestaynight" for its average time-sharing ratings exceeding 20%, with the highest rating reaching 25.38%.
And in every update of the broadcast list on the online platform, "Fate" is even more dominant, overwhelming the more than 20 programs behind it, unable to get up at all. Among them are those who have fans.
Basic old TV series.
Of course, this is only the ratings of the third episode of "Fate". The current average ratings of the entire series are still a little short of 20%.
After all, the average ratings for the first two episodes were 16%. It is still unrealistic to rely on the third episode alone to raise the average ratings to 20%.
However, no one, whether they are insiders or outsiders watching the drama, would doubt that the average ratings of the entire series "Fate" did not reach that target.
Because based on the quality shown in the first three episodes of "Fate", countless people have only one sentence in their minds.
"How can anyone make a TV series like this?! I really think all the money comes from the strong wind!"
Although TV series with special photography themes have always been representative of "burning budget", this does not mean that the budget for each episode needs to reach hundreds of millions of yen.
In this book, the most enduring tokusatsu series today are undoubtedly Super Sentai, Ultraman, and Kamen Rider, all three of which are broadcast on weekends on TV stations.
Take Kamen Rider.
Each year's series is different from the knights Emiya knew in his previous life, but the production costs are still similar. The average cost of one episode is about 20 to 30 million. After one season, the total cost is about 15 to 20 million.
It looks like 100 million yen.
Of course, Kamen Rider's production budget is slightly lower than the other two tokusatsu, but in the end, it's about the same.
But what about "Fate"?
According to professionals in the industry who have used real-time holographic projection technology, the average production cost of the first three episodes of "Fate" has exceeded 100 million, directly raising the average single episode production cost of current TV series to an unprecedented level.
The terrifying realm of those who never come again.
In the past, movie-level production technology has always been a good name that epitomizes the high quality of dramas, but in fact, there is still a long way to go before dramas can really reach the movie-level production industry.
After all, there is always an insurmountable gap between movies and TV series.
Among other things, just comparing time, the total duration of a movie is generally only about two hours, but what about a drama? A single episode is more than forty minutes, and a season has almost eleven episodes, and the total broadcast duration is much longer.
Far more than a movie, not to mention that dramas have extremely strict rules on production time. The drama must be produced within a certain time. Movies are simply incomparable in this regard. Some producers with higher requirements
With supervision and supervision, it usually takes a year, or even several years, for a new movie to be released. Does this make TV dramas have to compete with others?
Therefore, movie-level production technology is a gimmick and a good name, which can make the producers of TV series proud, but they will not force themselves to meet that requirement.
They understand that TV dramas lack that condition.
They never thought that the sudden appearance of "Fate" would give them a loud slap in the face.
What is movie-level production technology?
That's right, it's exactly the one below - "Fatestaynight"!
Although money cannot do everything in this world, most things can still be solved through money.
Since the advent of real-time holographic projection technology, many producers who have been engaged in special industries for a long time have had a hunch that the subject matter of special photography may have to change again in the future.
But even so, when they saw "Fate" using the power of money to directly fill the insurmountable gap between TV series and movies, the shock in their hearts was hard to describe in words.
Damn it, is this something a human can do?!
These people can even imagine that in the future, TV series about tokusatsu themes will be compared with "Fate".
Look at their fighting scenes, look at their special effects, and then look at yours, eh~~ Do you feel embarrassed?
"Emiya-sensei has achieved a new achievement in the history of dramas. Of course, I believe that he is the only one who can achieve this kind of achievement regardless of the cost. Many fans have messaged me privately, asking whether "Fate" can be taken back.
I think you all know the answer to the cost. At present, "Fate" cannot recoup its costs just by relying on advertising and copyrights. There is no doubt about it."
Since Emiya is basically not active on social media, Emiya's fans, as well as some people who are obsessed with social media, began to ask some well-known acquaintances about "Fate" on platforms such as Twitter.
According to reports, Shuji Suzuki, another representative of the new generation of supervisors who has a close relationship with Emiya, has naturally become the target of many questions from the audience.
In response, Shuji Suzuki also posted a tweet in response.
The article briefly explains how Ming Ling TV dramas make money, and uses some of the TV dramas he has produced as examples to explain what the current situation of "Fate" is like so far.
It's okay if these people don't look at it, but the more they look at it, the more they feel that Emiya's brain is broken?
Especially those fans who have been calling "Emiya the old thief" have begun to feel in their hearts whether they have scolded them a bit too harshly before. Is there a more conscientious supervisor in the whole book than Emiya?
No more...
Everyone knows that Emiya made a lot of money from his first two movies, and Ben is also the second largest shareholder of Future Fantasy.
But for things like special effects, even if you use your own products, you still have to pay for them.
So, what are you trying to do by doing this?
Go back, make trouble, return to make trouble.
Just like the short-haired man from Videoresearch and Teru, as fans of Emiya, they feel that they cannot sit idly by and ignore such things.
Although "Fate" is still relying on the setting, the world view has not been fully developed, and the audience actually doesn't know what story to tell, but at this time, "Fate" is almost the best in terms of public reputation.
It has skyrocketed, and Emiya is about to become synonymous with conscientious supervision and conscientious production in the eyes of the public.
When I mentioned Emiya before, others would react like this.
"Old thief Wei Gong! You die! Give me XXX! Give me XXX! The old thief Wei Gong has lost his conscience, and now I will live and die with XXX!"
"Ah, you old thief Emiya, I know this. He likes to use promotional videos to deceive fans. He has a horribly despicable character and a bad taste. He always likes to kill the characters in the drama or make it tragic.
, if my friend hadn’t mentioned it to me, I couldn’t believe there was such supervision in this world, and I wouldn’t have read his works anyway, no matter how good the quality was.”
And now.
"To be honest, Mr. Emiya is definitely the most serious, responsible and conscientious supervisor I have ever seen. I wonder if there is any supervisor today who can do what he does, regardless of the world's affairs or the opinions of the outside world, and only focus on the work wholeheartedly.
As for service, as his fan, I am very proud and very proud. I have watched him step by step until now. He has never forgotten his original intention and I will always follow him... What? Why do I still call him the old thief Wei Gong?
This is a title, do you understand it? By the way, have you watched "Fate"? Huh?...No? If not, why don't you go and watch it? I strongly recommend it to you! "Fate" is definitely the most worth watching this year
It’s a TV series that you can’t watch without losing blood!”
"The old thief Emiya is really interesting. Although I didn't think I would touch his works before, now I feel it is necessary to watch "Fate", which everyone is talking about."
People are easily influenced by other people, and most of the so-called reputation is based on this situation.
From word of mouth, it is obvious that "Fate" will usher in the first wave of big growth. Taking advantage of this trend, many professionals have concluded that "Fate" will become the first drama in 2015 to have an average ratings of over 20%.
is a drama, and it is very likely to win this year's ratings championship in one fell swoop.
At this time, Emiya, who was heading to Gifu and whose public image had been transformed, smiled and shook his head when he saw this.
"Suzuki is actually right. Relying on copyright and advertising revenue alone, it will naturally be a little difficult for "Fate" to make back the money. But Suzuki only talked about China, not abroad.
A popular drama like "Fate", coupled with the appropriate subject matter, will easily break through the country. By then, the overall copyright revenue and advertising revenue alone will be able to recoup the cost of "Fate" by 7788.
Moreover, this guy Suzuki didn’t mention the peripherals on purpose. The most profitable place for tokusatsu is not the peripherals, and even "Fate" is no exception to this."
Shuuji Suzuki's approach is naturally to deliberately guide the public and give them the label that "Fate" is really miserable and a representative of conscience in the industry, in order to gain support and increase the popularity of "Fate".
Emiya was grateful for Shuji Suzuki's approach.
Invisibly, people took advantage of "Fate".
Ignoring these external factors, in Emiya's view, if "Fate" wants to truly experience explosive growth in ratings, it may have to wait until Red A's true identity is revealed, which is the second half of the UBW line.
Prior to this, it was considered good that "Fate" could maintain the status quo when it first aired.
The setting of "Fate" is excellent, and can be regarded as a very top creativity in the whole book, and even in the world. However, for a first-class work, the setting alone is not enough.
In the first half of "Fate", which has not yet fully developed, it feels like a work with a beautiful shell but no soul.
Therefore, there is a theoretical limit to simply relying on the Holy Grail War to attract audiences. If you want to expand this limit, you must naturally give it a feeling that resonates with the audience. This is the soul of the work.
By that time, "Fate" will naturally arouse a lot of discussion, thereby indirectly increasing ratings and reputation.
It's just that Emiya never thought that he would just act according to the rules set before and practice his ideals with high standards. For him, this kind of trivial thing, something he didn't even think about,
But it became the first boost for "Fate" to take off.
Sudden and unexpected good things like this should be regarded as surprises.
Emiya sat in the car and opened another discussion thread about "Fate".
This time, what he found was not to discuss the shocking special effects, but to focus on the drama and some details revealed in the drama.
In addition to the fighting scenes, the amount of information brought by the third episode of "Fate" can be very huge.
Not to mention the Holy Grail War, a setting that runs through the entire drama, has been gradually explained by Father Kotomine Kirei. Some of the details that arouse imagination are worth watching for fans who have been waiting for "Fate" for a week.
discuss.
Among them, the controversial necklace that Archer gave to Tohsaka Rin in the first two episodes also received a new lens in the new episode.
That is, before Emiya Shirou and Tohsaka Rin went to the church, he put the necklace that saved him in the drawer.
This shot has attracted widespread attention from "Fate" fans.
Where did the necklace that Archer gave to Rin Tosaka come from?
