Sino-Singapore Jingwei Client, November 18 (Dong Xiangyi) "Don't think of me as a particularly good actor, because I sometimes do not perform well." On the 17th, Zhang Yishan responded to the bad reviews and posted Hot search on Weibo, because of the collapse of word-of-mouth after the launch of the new "Deer and Ding Tale", doubts abound.

Also known as "Brothers of Difficulties" with the show is "Warlord of Thunder", which was suspended due to excessive idolization of the anti-Japanese war drama.

For a time, the domestic "Leiju" once again broke into the public eye, and the capital behind the two dramas also surfaced.

 "Zhang Yishan played Gong Hanlin, right?"

  Although there is a classic version ahead, the new "Deer and Ding Ji", which captures the aura of Mr. Jin Yong's writing, still earned enough attention. The fact is that the disappointment is greater than the expectation. Since the start of the broadcast on November 15th, the Douban score of the show has been dropping all the way.

As of press time, the score of the show is only 2.6 points, 21,605 people participated in the evaluation on Douban, and more than 82% of them gave a star.

  In fact, the Douban scores of each version of "The Deer and Ding Ji" far exceed the new version. The Chen Xiaochun version is 8.8 points, the Huang Xiaoming version is 5.6, the Han Dong version is 6.4 points, the Stephen Chow version is 8.1 points, and Tony Leung's version is 7.5 points. The lowest Douban score record for this year's first episode.

Many viewers have checked in Chen Xiaochun's version of "The Deer and Ding Ji", which is currently the most recognized version.

  "Zhang Yishan played Gong Hanlin, right? I feel like the next sentence of'Palace Jade Wine' will come out."

  "It's too hard to say anything."

  "Wei Xiaobao is like a monkey, and Daddy Hai flies back and forth between joy and cruelty."

  "The rhythm is chaotic, exaggerated and awkward, dubbing is artificial, wasting this IP."

  ...

  In the past, Zhang Yishan was "approved the gods in the First Battle" due to "Remaining Sins", but now he has fallen to the bottom.

Netizens made great complaints in the comments.

Of course, there are also netizens who have given encouragement and affirmation to the starring role in the new "Deer Tripod"-"If you don't delve into the plot, this is undoubtedly a good costume comedy, the actors are quite funny."

However, compared with the large number of negative reviews, there are still few.

Xinli Media lost nearly 100 million yuan in the first half of the year. Can it come back?

  The plot and acting skills are not elaborated here. Compared with Zhang Yishan's chic smile, the capital behind it may be "khan".

  The new "Deer Tripod" is produced by Xinli Media, a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Reading Group.

The financial report shows that in the first half of the year, China Reading Group achieved revenue of 3.26 billion yuan, an increase of 9.7% year-on-year; dragged down by Xinli Media, China Reading Group had a net loss of 3.31 billion yuan.

  In the first half of 2020, Xinli Media had a net loss of 97.1 million yuan. At the same time, the recoverable amount of the goodwill and trademark rights of China Reading Group regarding the acquisition of Xinli Media was lower than its book value, and goodwill and trademark rights impairment were recorded. The reserves were 4.016 billion yuan and 390 million yuan respectively, which seriously affected the overall performance of China Literature Group.

  The one-year loss alone is not a big problem, but the problem is that the acquisition of the "gambling agreement" is nearing completion. In 2018, China Reading Group acquired 100% of Xinli Media for 15.5 billion yuan, and Xinli Media made a performance commitment: The net profit realized from 2018 to 2020 is not less than 500 million yuan, 700 million yuan and 900 million yuan respectively.

If the above performance requirements are not met, the consideration paid by China Reading Group to Xinli Media will be deducted accordingly.

In the previous two years, Xinli Media had not completed the bet against China Reading Group, and its profit in the above two years was reduced by 1.642 billion yuan.

  In the first half of the year, it lost nearly 100 million yuan. This year, the target of 900 million yuan needs to be completed. It will be difficult to achieve it in just over a month.

  However, some analysts in the film and television industry believe that the collapse of the reputation of the new "Deer Tripod" will not affect Xinli Media’s revenue in the short term. “According to the industry’s pre-sale system, the play has already been sold unless the play has signed a contract with the procurement platform. A gambling agreement, otherwise, regardless of the reputation of the play, the producer will guarantee the income from drought and flood."

  Entering the third critical year for gambling, apart from "Celebrating Yu Nian", Xinli Media has not yet seen a hit show.

The Securities Daily quoted analysts in the film and television industry as saying, "The new "Deer Tripod" is one of the key projects of Xinli Media in the second half of the year. The resources and channels provided are top-notch, and the management has high expectations for it.

  A reporter from China-Singapore Jingwei noted that the new "Deer Tripod" is one of Xinli Media’s blockbuster IP dramas this year. Previously, at a press conference jointly held by Reading Media, Xinli Media, and Tencent Pictures, the official announcement Ten major dramas to be broadcast, including the new "Deer and Ding Ji", "The Snowy Knife" starring Zhang Ruoyun and Zhang Tianai, "Douro Continent" starring Xiao Zhan and Wu Xuanyi, and "The Golden Years" starring Ni Ni and Liu Shishi ".

In addition, there are "You Are My Glory", "Commercial Blue Sky" and "Celebrating More Than Years 2". The themes involve contemporary cities, ancient costume martial arts, spy war dramas and so on.

  At present, when the "Douluo Dalu" will be finalized has not yet been officially determined. The trailer for the play has been released. According to market news, it may be released in early December.

If this is the case, more than a month before the end of the year, Xinli Media will only have this big IP drama to impact its performance.

  At present, the film and television industry in Mainland China is continuously undergoing in-depth adjustments under the influence of the macro environment. The number of industry-wide filing, start-up, and online projects has declined, and the profits of some individual projects have been lower than expected.

In addition, the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic has had a continuous impact on the macro economy. The film and television industry in Mainland China has been greatly affected. The film production delay and release time are to be determined.

Whether Xinli Media will achieve a "turnover" in the future is still unknown.

Under the banner of "Bright Sword", he was "fired"

  In the past few days, together with the new "Deer Ding Ji" screen is also "Thunder Warrior".

  War dramas were made into idol dramas, and did not respect historical facts. Under the banner of the youth version of "Bright Sword", "Warrior Thunder" was "fired". Many platforms including iQiyi have urgently stopped broadcasting.

  People’s Daily Weibo naming criticism: Let the "Eight Route Army Warriors" live in luxury villas, the protagonist almost all use hairspray and wax, the anti-Japanese drama "Thunder Fighter" with "Bright Sword 3" as the gimmick uses "idol drama" routines in the anti-Japanese theme on.

It’s not impossible to consider young people’s habits and innovative ways of expression in film and television dramas, but the premise is to respect history and not to take the lead.

Only with awe, history, and audiences can we produce truly grounded film and television works.

  "Warrior of Thunder" is directed by Sands, starring Zhang Yunlong, Gao Weiguang, Lai Yumeng, Wang Ruizi, and Wei Qianxiang and Wu Xin especially starring in the anti-Japanese war drama.

The drama is a new youth version of the war drama based on the heroic stories of Li Yunlong's main prototype, General Wang Jinshan and other heroes.

  There are many producers behind "War of Thunder", including Zhejiang Dongyang Zhongguang Film and Television Culture Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Zhongguang Film and Television"), Shanghai New Culture Media Group Co., Ltd., Hunan Happy Sunshine Interactive Entertainment Media Co., Ltd., Dongyang Liangjian Media Film and Television Culture Co., Ltd.

Among them, the main producer is China Broadcasting Television.

  It is reported that the drama has been completed as early as 2018. It has been expected to be broadcast on the stars many times in 2019, and the backlog has been as long as two years. The reason behind it is that it has been repeatedly requested by the relevant departments to modify it.

"Leiju" is off the shelves, and the performance of China Broadcasting Television has declined for three consecutive years

  Public information shows that China Broadcasting Film and Television is mainly engaged in the investment, production, distribution and related derivative businesses of TV dramas and movies. Currently, it is mainly the production and distribution of TV dramas.

  China Broadcasting Film and Television's 2019 annual report published a piece of information on the correction of previous accounting errors, "In 2018, the company judged that a TV series can be broadcast on TV stations in 2019 according to the current situation according to the contract, and the possibility of retreat is extremely small... The TV station's re-planning of the schedule and themes resulted in the TV series not being broadcast within the contractual period and no supplementary agreement had been signed as of the audit report date. Therefore, the revenue and costs recognized in 2018 were reversed and the 2018 annual report was retrospectively restated ".

In 2018, the net profit changed from a loss of 7.255 million yuan before correction to a loss of 41.951 million yuan after correction.

  Some media pointed out that a certain TV series in the above information can basically be determined as "Warlord of Thunder".

  Lasting until June 19 this year, the regulatory authorities issued an inquiry letter to the China Broadcasting Film and Television's 2019 annual report, requesting whether the show is expected to be broadcast and bring benefits to the enterprise, and whether corresponding impairment provisions have been made for the show.

  China Broadcasting Film and Television responded that the exclusive first-round broadcasting rights transfer agreement of "Thunder Fighter" and the exclusive exclusive licensing agreement for the exclusive use of information network dissemination rights estimate that the total licensing fee of the station network is about 211 million yuan.

In addition, the company has received 74.39 million yuan in authorization fees in 2018.

The authorized broadcast targets are Hunan Satellite TV and iQiyi.

  The reply letter showed that due to censorship and other reasons, "Thunder Fighter" has not been able to arrange the broadcast, which caused China Broadcasting Television to only receive an advance payment of 74.39 million yuan, and the remaining money cannot be obtained and cannot be included in the profit.

  However, China Broadcasting Television stated that its clients are domestic first-line satellite TV and well-known online broadcast platforms. “The financial status and creditworthiness are good. Therefore, the company judges that the possibility of retreat is extremely small, and the remaining authorization fees will be recovered smoothly. Economic benefits are likely to flow into the enterprise."

  From this point of view, China Broadcasting Film and Television asserted that "Warrior of Thunder" will never be retired.

But the dramatic thing is that it was really taken off the shelves...

  China Broadcasting Film and Television Reply Letter

  What is worrying is that the profitability of China Broadcasting Television has declined for three consecutive years.

The 2020 semi-annual report shows that in the first half of the year, China Broadcasting Television's operating income was 4,868,100 yuan, a decrease of 39.85% from the same period last year; a net loss of 27.75 million yuan, an increase of more than 37%.

  "Net profit decreased by more than 30% compared with the previous period. The revenue in the first half of the year was small. On the one hand, there was no major TV series distribution in the first half of the year. There were only a few rounds of film and television series distribution income and participation in online movie share income. On the other hand, celebrity advertising endorsements were affected by the epidemic. As a result, revenue declined. Although the company’s daily operating expenses also declined, the amount of interest expenses raised in previous years was relatively large this year, and due to the slow recovery of receivables, more bad debt provisions were made based on aging , So there are more losses." China Broadcasting Television said.

  China Broadcasting Film and Television once stated that, in the face of increasing market competition pressure, the company deeply analyzed the mainstream value orientation of the society, worked intensively on projects that meet market demand and public aesthetics, and brought into play the "craftsman" spirit of film and television drama production.

  Looking at the social effects of such an anti-Japanese "thunder drama", is the term "craftsman" somewhat ironic?
