On Thursday, the 31st, the internet was flooded with news of "the legend of the condor heroes" TV series premiering tonight.
Under the vigorous promotion of Tianxing Entertainment, Yanjing TV, Jinling TV, and Tengfei Video, the popularity of this drama was also hyped to a peak.
Everyone was looking forward to how this novel would finally be presented to the audience.
Of course, some people came specifically for the Su Yu and Han Jiangxue CP, as Su Yu is now even more popular.
Moreover, looking at the promotional photos and trailers, they felt that Su Yu's ancient costume look was truly stunning.
If Su Yu's acting did not fall short, perhaps the long-criticized issue of handsome men in ancient costume dramas could finally be reversed.
Su Yu only posted two promotional messages on two accounts during his lunch break from filming; he did nothing else.
He had carefully watched the drama after it was edited, and there was absolutely nothing to criticize about the filming quality and visual production.
When the 83rd version of earth was first watched, it felt amazing, but with the development of filming technology and increasingly advanced special effects, many scenes in it now feel very awkward.
This time, under the meticulous production of Tianxing Entertainment, which cost nearly 200 million, many special effects and fight scenes made Su Yu's eyes light up.
This "legend of the condor heroes" was filmed even more maturely and advancedly than the previous "little li flying dagger."
It even has the potential to become a classic!
Of course, on the internet today, there were also messages congratulating Su Yu in advance on his seventh consecutive victory.
It was the 31st, the last day of this month.
At this time, all the top ten songs on the January New Song Chart were still Su Yu's works, so congratulating Su Yu on his seven consecutive championships in advance was not a concern for a misstep.
It was the number 7/12 that made many composers and entertainment companies feel a headache and an eyesore!
Because it was too fast! And because Su Yu's first seven months had been too smooth.
Adding to that February, which hadn't even started but was already given up on, Su Yu could steadily claim eight consecutive championships.
Such a situation made many people feel powerless.
They wished for some divine intervention to end Su Yu's path to twelve consecutive championships.
However, Lin Feng, Chu Ming, and these Ace Composers had already lost for two consecutive months, not to mention other gold-medal composers.
Should they expect an official event to end Su Yu's ascent?
Just like when Lin Feng had ten consecutive championships, he was ended by an officially promoted song?
But it seems there are no major official events this year, right?
So, this path is also unfeasible!
...
At 7:40 PM, with a grand and majestic opening scene of a grassland battle, the first episode of "the legend of the condor heroes" officially premiered.
Accompanying the visuals was the first theme song, ""iron blood loyal heart"", sung by Xie Jie and Liu Ruyan.
Audiences on the two major TV stations couldn't skip the opening credits, but such a new song didn't deter them; instead, they felt a surge of energy and listened intently.
As for the netizens on Tengfei Video, many even directly rewound to the beginning of the credits just to listen to this theme song.
"Faintly, past dreams seem familiar, waves rise in my heart. Casting aside worldly affairs and worries, accompanying you to the ends of the earth..."
Liu Ruyan's voice was almost instantly recognized by fans the moment it came out.
This was also quite a surprise and an easter egg.
"Chasing grass in all directions, the desert vast and boundless, (that) cold wind blows, the sky is vast, vines and trees intertwined..."
Then, Xie Jie's male voice entered, which made the audience and netizens' eyes light up even more.
It turned out that both of them could sing cantonese songs!
Moreover, the vintage flavor that assailed them was truly too suitable for this ancient martial arts drama.
Some people even directly skipped to the end credits to check the song information.
Indeed!
""iron blood loyal heart""
Lyrics, Music, Arrangement: Su Yu
Vocals: Xie Jie, Liu Ruyan
Since it was Su Yu's work, there was nothing more to say; they would just blindly rush to stream it once the song was released.
It wasn't until the opening theme ended that many people belatedly realized.
today was the last day of the month! So, wouldn't this theme song fire the first shot for the February New Song Chart?
They had previously thought Su Yu would give up the competition for the season chart in the first nine days, and instead put all his eggs in one basket for the Spring Festival Gala.
But it turned out he was waiting for them here?
This young man truly leaves no stone unturned.
Bai Duo, whose favorability towards Su Yu was growing, was also nestled on the sofa, watching the TV series.
The quality and standard of this song were naturally self-evident, and as it was a custom song for the TV series, it naturally didn't need to be measured by the standards of other pop songs.
However, as an Ace Composer known for her lyric writing, her sensitivity to lyrics and words was not something ordinary people could compare to.
Bai Duo felt that the phrase "cannot be cut, yet remains tangled" in this song was written with great charm.
"What cannot be cut, yet remains tangled, should be grudges and love, right?" Bai Duo wondered, but she couldn't get an answer.
With the opening scene of Guo Xiaotian and Yang Tiexin's drunken lament, and Qiu Chuji single-handedly entering the government office to take the head of the corrupt official, the grand curtain of "the legend of the condor heroes" had already been raised.
It wasn't until the end of the first episode when ""iron blood loyal heart"" played again that Bai Duo suddenly had a flash of inspiration!
"'Cannot be cut, yet remains tangled,' this must be a line from one of Su Yu's poems or lyrics again! Absolutely, no mistake!"
At this moment, with the end of the first episode, Yanjing TV, Jinling TV, and even Tengfei Video Platform all breathed a sigh of relief, followed by inexpressible excitement.
After all, they had paid a high price for the broadcasting rights, coupled with the uncostly early publicity, they were very nervous about the opening results.
If no one watched the first episode, how difficult would it be to turn things around later?
But fortunately, the results after the first episode gave them a sense of reassurance!
The average viewership rating for Jinling TV's first episode reached 2.35! With a peak of 2.48.
Yanjing TV's average viewership rating was also 2.21, with a peak of 2.33.
The opening viewership rating broke 2! This was incomparable to the previous "little li flying dagger."
Of course, at that time, four TV stations broadcasted simultaneously! Now it was two TV stations.
A rating of over 2 alone was enough for them to celebrate a little.
Next, they would look at the retention rate for the second episode.
As for Tengfei Video, the first episode's broadcast volume had already exceeded 2 million!
And this was in less than an hour!
So, how terrifying would the monthly playback volume for this episode be? The people at Tengfei Video Platform didn't even dare to think about it.
Generally speaking, the first day's playback volume multiplied by ten is roughly the monthly playback volume.
So, is there any need to say more about this number?
This money was well spent!
Subsequently, the data for the second episode also did not disappoint the three parties.
Jinling TV's second episode averaged 2.33 in viewership, while Yanjing TV was 2.20, both maintaining the results of the first episode.
And on Tengfei Video Platform, the playback volume saw another climb!
After two episodes were broadcast, the first episode had 3.85 million views, and the second episode had 2.10 million views!
The data was so magnificent it made people want to cry.
And with the end of the first two episodes, the opening rating for "the legend of the condor heroes" was also released.
Approximately 100,000 people participated in the rating, and the opening score was temporarily set at 8.3 points!
It's no exaggeration to say that the first day's results were an absolute hit!
