Chapter 411 "Cyclonus" airs for second time, ratings rise

A few days after the premiere of "Operation Black Wind", "Cyclone" began its second round on Donghai TV and Jiangnan TV, the two major provincial satellite TVs.

Since the popularity of "Cyclonus" has exploded, Ark Culture did not do too many promotional activities.

Only Donghai Satellite TV and Jiangnan Satellite TV broadcast previews of new dramas for a week in the evening hours.

Due to the high popularity of "Crazy", the ratings for the second round of broadcast were also pretty good, with a single channel rating of 0.95%.

Although the ratings of 0.95% are not particularly exaggerated, it is quite good for the second-round broadcast ratings.

Since "Crazy" has already been broadcast on CCTV and video platforms, the news of the second round of broadcast did not cause much response.

Audiences who just like to watch are watching silently.

…

Now, things get a little more subtle.

Because the broadcast times of "Horse" and "Operation Black Wind" "collided".

Two days after the second round of "Kurst" aired, a comparison chart of the ratings of the two dramas began to appear on Weibo and other online platforms.

The chart shows that during the same time period, the ratings of "Horse" were 0.95%, while the ratings of "Operation Black Wind" were 1.87%.

After the ratings comparison came out, fans of "Operation Black Wind" started to revel:

[I knew that the ratings of He Yu’s new drama would only be twice as high as that of “Kurst”.]

[Just like what I thought, how could my brother’s new drama not be popular? It’s like beating someone else’s drama, with double the ratings, and his face is torn off.]

Seeing the carnival remarks of these fans, many people couldn't stand it anymore and started to get angry:

[Then the ratings comparison between the first broadcast and the second round can also reach a climax? Is this because the loser is stunned? 】

[Awesome! The first broadcast crushed the ratings of the second round, which is really awesome.]

[No, I didn’t dare to show my face during the premiere of “Cyclonus”, but now I’m here for the second round, can you please give me a little face?]

[One thing to say, I have watched both dramas. "Operation Black Wind" is really not good.]

These comments saying that "Operation Black Wind" is not good have attracted a large group of fans to criticize.

…

On the Internet, the debate about the two dramas has become increasingly fierce, and it has also attracted many drama critics.

The popularity of "Hurry Up" has led to a trend of anti-gang dramas. "Operation Dark", a 350 million S+ production, has very high ratings at the beginning. Judging from the trend, it seems that this trend will continue.

Many drama critics have started to make comparison videos between the two dramas, and their reviews are similar.

The famous drama critic "Zhou Yanjie", who has 6 million fans on the Internet, has been recognized by most netizens for his evaluation of the two dramas:

"'Hurry' captured the difficulty and determination of cracking down on gangsters and eradicating evil. The entire drama implements a central idea. This is not just a drama, but more like a portrayal of reality.

"The veteran actors in "Operation Black Wind" all have very good acting skills, but the problem is that this drama is designed to cater to some audiences who like idol dramas and romantic dramas. Feng Heyu's character is more like a police uniform.

A wealthy young master.

"Strictly speaking, "Operation Black Wind" is a qualified entertainment, especially Feng Heyu's story line, which is very in line with the preferences of many TV drama audiences.

"But watching the drama "Black Wind", I think the director and screenwriter are very smart.

"They know very well what the main audience of the TV series likes, and they filmed it, and then integrated it into the anti-crime theme, and the integration was pretty good.

"It can be said that "Operation Black Wind" is an incompetent TV series, but it has a big shortcoming.

“That’s because it didn’t capture the darkness and determination of the law enforcers that an anti-crime drama should have.

"Sometimes, there are trade-offs in the arrangement of the story.

"Take the story line of 'An Xin' as an example. Is the love between 'An Xin' and 'Meng Yu' sweet?

"Sweet, but their ending is bitter.

"'An Xin' and 'Meng Yu' broke up in 2006. From 2006 to the supervision team entering Jinghai City in 2021, during these 15 years, 'An Xin' persisted alone.

"This is how difficult it is to fight gangs in reality, so 'An Xin' and 'Meng Yu' are destined not to get together unless 'An Xin' gives up her insistence on justice in her heart.

"On the contrary, in "Operation Black Wind", the male protagonist played by Feng Heyu is tall, handsome, domineering and unrestrained.

"The fight scenes between him and the villain were also quite exciting. After all, the martial arts director is a big shot in the film industry.

"But a male protagonist like this is destined not to become a lonely pioneer like 'An Xin', and he will lose that heaviness and determination.

"So "Operation Black Wind" is far inferior to "Hurricane".

"Let’s talk about the creative teams of the two dramas. In fact, the creative team of "Operation Black Wind" is not bad, and even many configurations are better than those of "Cyclone".

"However, "Operation Black Wind" chose a conservative route. Feng Heyu's domineering CEO character is a guarantee of ratings. People who like to watch domineering president and wealthy young master dramas have a large audience base. No matter how bad it is, it won't be any worse.

.

"Therefore, "Operation Black Wind" is a profit-guaranteed choice in droughts and floods. Investors will basically not lose money, and the TV station's ratings will also be poor.

"'Horse' is just the opposite. What 'Horse' wants to express is too heavy.

“The storyline of the supervision team interspersed in the first episode, looking back now, there are so many details that deserve careful consideration.

“However, when it was first aired, many viewers said the content of the first episode was boring and confusing.

“It wasn’t until Teacher Xu Zhiwen’s ‘Gao Qiqiang’ appeared that it attracted the audience’s attention.

“It can be said that the character of ‘Gao Qiqiang’ supported the early ratings of ‘The Blast’.

“Only by maintaining the ratings will the word-of-mouth fermentation and subsequent popularity explode.

"If I want to give a one-sentence evaluation of the two dramas, "Black Wind" is a qualified entertainment drama, and "Hurricane" will become a classic."

…

With the feedback from drama critics and audiences, the reputation of "Operation Black Wind" has not improved, but has begun to decline.

Moreover, the feedback from the audience of "Operation Black Wind" was polarized.

Some viewers who like to watch idol dramas and romantic dramas think "Operation Black Wind" is very interesting and the male protagonist is very handsome and cool.

However, viewers who are not interested in idol dramas or romantic dramas do not like "Black Wind" and feel that "Black Wind" is nothing compared to "Kuronic".

"Operation Black Wind" has Feng Heyu, a top star, and his fans' fighting power is incredible. They flood the Internet every day. Any netizen who says something bad about "Operation Black Wind" will be besieged by fans.

However, this not only failed to prevent the decline of "Operation Black Wind"'s reputation, but it also declined faster.

[Watching two episodes of "Operation Black Wind", I found it very boring, so I went back to watch "Hurry Up" again. Gao Qiqiang is awesome!]

[To be honest, if I hadn’t watched "The Drive", I should be able to watch "The Black Wind". After all, the starring cast is really strong, and except for one person, they are all good. Unfortunately, after watching "The Drive", I will not watch it again.

Watching "Operation Black Wind", I feel that this drama is really not good.]

[I feel that the producer made a mistake in scheduling "Dark Wind" to be released in June. "The Blast" is the first one. After watching "The Blast", who can watch "The Dark One"?]

[Indeed, if "Black Wind" was aired in April and finished before "Horse", the ratings would definitely be higher. 】

[He actually wants to broadcast it in April. After the post-production is completed, the TV station still has to schedule it, so there is no way he can make it in time.]

…

The two dramas continued to be broadcast on provincial satellite TV amid controversy among fans and viewers.

"Horse" started with a ratings of 0.95%, which was quite satisfactory, but the history is always surprisingly similar. After four episodes, the plot became more and more attractive and the ratings began to rise.

It has risen all the way from 0.95% to 1.25%, and there is still an upward trend.

The reason why this situation occurs, according to many industry insiders, is because the overlap between the audiences of CCTV and the audiences of provincial satellite TV is not that big.

Therefore, even if the provincial satellite TV broadcasts in the second round, it can still have good ratings, and the ratings can still increase.

If the network had not finished broadcasting it, the ratings increase would have been even higher.

"Blackout" is just the opposite. After more and more music critics compared the two dramas, they came to the conclusion that "Blackout" is not as good as "Horse".

This caused the ratings of "Operation Black Wind" to begin to decline, slowly falling from 1.87% at the beginning to 1.68%.

Netizens began to speculate:

[Would it be possible that the second-round ratings of "The Blast" could surpass the first-round ratings of "Operation Black Wind"? This would be funny.]

[Personally, I feel that this is really possible. I just watched "Operation Black Wind" and felt it wasn't very good, so I went back to play "Hurricane" again.]

[Based on the ratings curve of CCTV's premiere, the ratings of "Hurry Up" should still increase. However, the website has already finished broadcasting, so the increase should be smaller than that of the premiere, but the shape of the curve should be similar.]

…

The investors of "Black Wind", Dingsheng Capital, Pengcheng Capital and other companies, began to worry after discovering that the ratings of "Black Wind" began to decline.

Originally, the ratings of "Operation Black Wind" were very good when it first aired. Feng Yunbin even said that this time it was stable. As long as the ratings exceeded 2, there was hope that it would become one of the top three TV dramas this year.

However, the ratings of "Operation Black Wind" hovered around 1.95% for a while. Before it broke 2%, it began to decline, and it fell to 1.67%.

There are many possible reasons for the decline in ratings. The decline is not large and is still within the normal range, but it has reached the edge of danger.
