Chapter 348 The Ming Dynasty 1566 CCTV Premiere
Why is it suitable?
First of all, although Mango TV has been deepening its works and clearing out those youth idol dramas in recent years.

But it started out as a grassroots talent show, and Mango TV's audience is mostly female and young people.

However, as a historical drama, "Da Ming" is actually more popular among middle-aged and elderly and male audiences.

To put it bluntly, the target audiences are different.

However, I have been building up momentum for so long, and now Mango TV is about to reap the rewards. Will the other party agree?
When Shen Lang told Nie Tai his idea, Nie Tai said arrogantly: "I will go to Ouyang Tai to have a long talk!"

Then what are you worrying about?
For the sake of ratings, it has to be done!
Anyway, since Director Nie has come forward, he doesn’t have to be the bad guy. Besides, the CCTV will definitely compensate Mango TV when the time comes!
……

Shen Lang originally thought that the negotiation between the two sides would take a long time, but who knew that it would only take three days for the two sides to reach an agreement. The television broadcasting rights of "The Ming Dynasty 1566" were sold to CCTV, and CCTV will officially launch this historical drama in the prime time of Channel as the [first broadcast].

The premiere time has been set for next Monday after the end of "The Long Song of Zhenguan".

This year, CCTV started the year by broadcasting "Ying Zheng", followed by "The Long Song of Zhenguan". The audience found that there was a seamless connection. CCTV started the year with three consecutive hits. Including "The Ming Dynasty", this is the third consecutive historical drama.

Logically speaking, most TV stations would not always use the same theme in their program schedules, especially CCTV. It would be normal to insert some life dramas in between, but now...

It was this abnormality that was discovered by many old CCTV viewers.

There were even posts from viewers who had watched "Da Ming" on Mango TV.

Only then did the audience realize that "The Ming Dynasty 1566" was a TV series that was removed from the shelves by Mango TV.

The local satellite TV station took the show off, but CCTV bought it back to broadcast. This operation is even more shocking than broadcasting three historical dramas in a row.

What kind of TV series can make CCTV break the routine... ?
There is never a shortage of smart people in this world, and someone soon thought of the Weibo post about the TV series that Shen Lang had inserted into the series "Things about the Ming Dynasty".

"Fuck! I just found out today that Shen Lang's "Things About the Ming Dynasty" was actually written for "The Ming Dynasty 1566"!"

"It's really unique. In order to promote a TV series, this guy went crazy and wrote a book about it!"

"Oh my god, this Shen Lang must be a pervert, right? If he takes a picture of a person, does he have to write a book called "Theory of Evolution"?"

"I've said it before, Shen Lang has a mental problem. Only lunatics and geniuses would do such a thing since ancient times! What do you think he is?"

"To be honest, I don't admire any actor in China except Shen Lang!"

"Has anyone seen "The Ming Dynasty 1566"? Is it good?"

……

In this way, the whole network became interested in "The Ming Dynasty 1566" in which Shen Lang participated because of Shen Lang's book.

Everyone was curious whether this TV series that Shen had worked so hard to promote was worth him writing a book about.

The book is pretty good, and it would be interesting if the TV series sucked.

Isn't this a comedy of picking up watermelons and losing sesame seeds?

Monday night at 8:30.

"The Ming Dynasty 1566" officially premiered on CCTV.

CCTV's old viewers continue to sit in front of their TVs to watch new dramas.

Today, many families, regardless of gender, age or status, have joined this group.

Episode 1 begins!
The story is still the same story, and Zhou Yunyi is still the same Zhou Yunyi.

But thanks to Shen Lang's [Popular Science], today's audiences, regardless of gender, age or status, are no longer as ignorant of history as before.

"Why is this eunuch wearing red? Isn't this nonsense?" "This is Feng Bao! Do you know who Feng Bao is? He will be the great companion of Emperor Wanli in the future! Didn't you read the subtitles? He is now the chief eunuch of the East Factory!"

"Also, don't confuse eunuchs with the little flamers in the palace. Not everyone without a penis is qualified to be called a eunuch!"

"Tsk tsk, this costume and makeup is awesome!"

……

"Is there something wrong with the emperor played by Shen Lang? What is he wearing? He just appeared with dishevelled hair and was reciting poetry. If he didn't want to be an emperor, would he take the postgraduate entrance examination?"

"If I say you are uneducated, I am not wrong. I can tell from the fact that you have never read Teacher Shen's "Those Stories of the Ming Dynasty"!"

"Yeah? What do you mean?"

"This is Emperor Jiajing. After the Great Ceremony Controversy, he hid in the palace and stopped attending court for a few years. For more than 20 years, he devoted himself to cultivating Taoism. The clothes he wore are called Taoist robes, and the poem he recited was a Tang Dynasty poem called "Taoism"!"

"Fuck, I feel like you know a lot!"

"You must be kidding me! I am a top talent who has read the entire History of Ming Dynasty!"

Wife: "Don't listen to his bragging. Before watching TV, he watched Shen Lang's "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" and learned something on the spot!"

Husband: “Haha!”

Neighbor Wang: “Haha!”

……

Sometimes, the people who say good things about you and those who say bad things about you are actually the same group of people.

Look, the next morning, the media are still the same media, and the experts are still the same experts.

But "The Ming Dynasty 1566", which was broadcast on another platform, has changed from previous indifference or doubt.

These same people are now touting the TV series.

"Southern Sunday": The care put into the filming of "The Ming Dynasty 1566" can be called a model of domestic dramas!
In this play, both the crew and the actors seem to be sincerely recreating the political situation of hundreds of years ago to the audience!

There is a reason why this drama was not well received on Mango TV. Without certain historical knowledge, it is difficult to interpret the deep logical relationships between the era, characters and events.

Shen Lang's "Things about the Ming Dynasty" just fills this shortcoming in the audience's movie-watching experience.

Here, I have to say that Shen Lang is one of the few real actors in the country!
Even to some extent, if we interpret this person, he has the potential to become a master of movies and TV series.

Article by Wu Qing, editor-in-chief of Sohu Entertainment:

Shen Lang is a breath of fresh air in the film and television industry. He makes movies in a down-to-earth manner, promotes movies in a down-to-earth manner, and advances the development of film-related industries in a down-to-earth manner!

Shen Lang and I met during the filming of Train to Busan. At that time, like many people, I once questioned...

……

Shen Lang's book revived the originally frozen TV series, and the TV series in turn fed back to Shen Lang's book "Things about the Ming Dynasty".

On the first night of the TV series' broadcast, CCTV's ratings reached an astonishing 9.2%. This kind of data is unmatched by the recently aired "The Long Song of Zhenguan". Even among the popular TV series aired in CCTV's history, only "Desire" can be compared with it.

"The Ming Dynasty 1566" is popular, the kind of popularity that is social...
