On March 28, the schedule information of the TV series "Stream" was revealed. Starting from April 1, it will officially premiere on Tianjin Satellite TV during the evening prime time. This TV series stars Zhang Duo and Yu Xintian. Actors such as Han Tongsheng and Shang Tielong also played roles in the series. This TV series belongs to the theme of the Anti-Japanese War that is familiar to middle-aged and elderly viewers. Because of the advantages of the subject matter, the ratings of the TV series when it is broadcast on stars should be very good.
You might as well take a look at the plot summary of this TV series:
Chengdu in the 1940s. College student Zheng Xiaonan was a bloody young man. He witnessed innocent people dying in Japanese bombings. Under the influence of his classmates who were Communist Party members at the university, he gave up his writing and joined the army and joined the battlefield. In a fierce battle with the Japanese army, the Sichuan Army squad was completely wiped out. Zheng Xiaonan was rescued by the Eighth Route Army and became one of them. In this melting pot, he tempered his will, strengthened his beliefs, and grew into a Communist Party member.
During the War of Liberation, Zheng Xiaonan returned to the Sichuan Army and returned to Chengdu shouldering the mission of the party, and a battle of wits and courage began. Relying on his status as an anti-Japanese hero, he instigated generals to revolt, protected progressive people, successfully resolved crises at critical moments, disrupted enemy plots, and contributed his youthful blood to the peaceful liberation of Chengdu. At dawn, the People's Liberation Army entered the city. Zheng Xiaonan completed his mission and gained love.
Obviously, this TV series belongs to the story background of the Anti-Japanese War and the War of Liberation. Against this background, there must be constant gunfire and espionage suspicions. It can be said that this "River" is a relatively typical story drama, which is to present the audience with tense and exciting story content in a clear battle conflict. This type of TV series has a natural audience of middle-aged and older male viewers.
For anti-Japanese war-themed TV series, audiences have always had polarizing opinions. Audiences who don't like to watch this type of TV series can find a lot of "magic drama" content in such dramas, and then sneer at them. Audiences who like to watch this type of TV series watch silently and rarely speak out online. This method of watching war dramas in silence is also suitable for some TV dramas with rural themes.
In terms of Tianjin Satellite TV's stellar ratings, this "Stream" is indeed worth looking forward to. In recent times, there have been no war dramas on either star platforms or video platforms. Works on this subject often have very good ratings. For example, the " detective hero " broadcast some time ago has soared in ratings. Although the content of the heroine and some of the battles in the show were criticized by the audience, this did not affect it in the slightest from becoming a popular show.
On the other hand, this time "River" is about the anti-Japanese theme that is familiar to middle-aged and elderly male audiences, so it will certainly have a wide audience. It is conservatively estimated that there is no problem for "Stream" to be listed in China's audiovisual big data this time. As long as this type of TV series is not too shoddy, there is no problem in keeping the ratings above 0.2%. Earlier, Jiangxi Satellite TV had been out of the entertainment industry for a while with this type of TV series.
For a second-tier satellite TV platform like Tianjin Satellite TV, it is already good to be able to premiere TV series. Choosing a TV series with guaranteed ratings and relatively low copyright fees is obviously very cost-effective. By the way, Tianjin Satellite TV also has a base of middle-aged and older male viewers. This satellite TV station has invited some cross talk stars in its Spring Festival Gala content in recent years. The broadest audience for this group of crosstalk stars is this group of middle-aged and older male audiences.
Logically speaking, there should be two groups of people: those who listen to crosstalk stars talking about crosstalk, and those who watch anti-Japanese dramas. However, the current situation is that the ages of the two batches are extremely close. Our earliest batch of old audiences who like to watch anti-Japanese dramas have already traveled westward. However, male audiences who did not watch such divine dramas back then are now becoming middle-aged and elderly people, and they are becoming more fond of such divine dramas.
Watching anti-Japanese dramas and listening to cross talk have one similarity, that is, they don’t need to use their brains, they can both have fun, and they are both low-end and direct fun.You can pay attention to this group of people. They are mostly people who watch dramas and listen to cross talk on the subway or in public restrooms with their mobile phones turned to the loudest volume. This time "Stream" should cater to this audience. (Text/Ma Qingyun)
