made a grand official announcement 10 days in advance, and it was confirmed on the spot at a star-studded and grand party like the Starlight Awards. It can be said that it gave this New Year's Eve drama the biggest appearance.
was officially announced 10 days in advance, and there was a period of time in between to warm up the publicity. After this period of fermentation, the number of reservations has exceeded 3 million. On the day of the broadcast, there will be round-the-clock promotion, including character relationship posters at 10 o'clock, a drama calendar at 10:30, stills at 1:30, a 90-second interview at 3:30, additional stills at 4 o'clock, and a citywalk guide for the whole city at 5 o'clock. The romance begins, the premiere broadcast starts at 5:30, the character relationship diagram starts at 7:30, the show starts at 7:30, and there is a behind-the-scenes reveal at 7:40.
It shows that the drama studio and the platform attach great importance to this drama, and it gave Hu Ge and Wong Kar-wai enough face.
The main plot is the growth of Abao, played by Hu Ge, in the ever-changing Shanghai, as well as the love-hate entanglements between different women at different stages.
Mr. Bao’s every day is busy and fulfilling. He opens a company with his uncle played by You Benchang. Bao is always the face and his uncle is the pride. Lingzi, played by Ma Yili, is a hotel management partner. Ms. Wang, played by Tang Yan, is a foreign trade partner; discussing business on Huanghe Road, eating rice noodles on Jinxian Road... Among the character relationship posters released by
, the most eye-catching thing is the scene where three women compete for one man. There are many popular dramas this year where three men compete for one woman. In other words, there are more male competition dramas, but there are still relatively few female competition dramas where three women compete for one man.
Although netizens are more averse to sexual intercourse nowadays, everyone is relieved a lot when they think that the target is Hu Ge. In addition, the three female protagonists who appeared in this drama belong to different periods. When put into the story, it makes sense. Three flowers bloom, one on each side. A meal, a road, a person, looking back for half a lifetime.
The first poster is Hu Ge and Ma Yili face to face. Abao's eyes wandered and he did not dare to look at Lingzi played by Ma Yili. Lingzi's eyes were determined, "For me, there is nothing I can't bear to part with."
The second poster, is Hu Ge and Tang Yan. Miss Wang was wearing a red leather coat, her eyes were reddish, as if she had been wronged, and A Bao was looking at her. "For me, spareribs and rice cakes have never been a business." Tang Yan and Hu Ge's 5 match is still not perfect!
The third poster, is Xin Zhilei and Hu Ge. Li Li only had half of his face. He was dressed grandly and beautifully, as if he was going to a dinner date. Abao's eyes were full of appraising. "I will remember everything that needs to be remembered, in my own way." This pair seemed to be trying to conquer each other.
Netizens were even more excited after watching the drama calendar! In the past, many dramas would be interrupted as they aired. The audience would have forgotten almost all the plot, and the popularity would also drop during the interruption period.
But this drama is different. Finally, there is a drama that either plays 3 and stops 4, or plays 4 and stops 3. On the first broadcast day, CCTV updated two episodes, and the online broadcast platform updated four episodes. After that, two episodes were updated every day until the finale.
In other words, a 30-episode period drama can be watched in half a month. For drama fans, this experience is not very satisfying.
There are also bilingual versions broadcast at the same time, one is Mandarin version and the other is Shanghainese version. When the time comes, you can choose between dialect or Mandarin.
Anyway, this playback mode is very conscientious. Next, we will see whether the plot can retain the audience.
