It was probably from about 14 to 15 years ago, and domestic film and television dramas began to become popular with a "traffic + strength" cast selection model.
That is, find two or three Xiao Xianrou and Xiao Hua Dan with high traffic popularity to play the starring role, and then find a few powerful actors to play supporting roles.
This is obviously the result of the Internet capital tycoons copying the "big data" set as it is.
Traffic stars are popular, which can increase ratings and popularity; The powerful faction has acting skills, which can raise the average acting level of the whole drama.
This model proved to work well in the beginning.
Fans support their idols, and the ratings and broadcasts are there; Passers-by scolded all kinds of acting skills and plots, and the popularity was also there.
The traffic leading actors got paid, the TV station gained ratings, advertisers got attention, and even those powerful supporting roles may have regained popularity because of the reason of "distressed XX, the strength is so strong, it is not popular".
Also, various public accounts and Weibo big V can rub a wave of popularity from the two angles of praise and scolding; Some experts can follow the crowd and post two critical and condemning articles to appear that they are not messing with wages for nothing; Even the audience can take this opportunity to scold the actors, scold the plot, and vent all kinds of anger that they usually accumulate.
Everyone is happy, congratulations!
Actually, there is a reason for this model.
Domestic TV dramas have always been in an overcapacity market environment, with nearly 10,000 episodes of TV dramas being produced every year, but less than one-third of them can be broadcast.
Moreover, domestic TV dramas can't be like American dramas, where they can try out a few episodes.
If the grades are not good, just cut it off.
In this case, the TV station can only predict to buy those TV series that may have high ratings.
But things like the plot and actors' performances are too subjective, and the standard error is very large and there are not so many manpower.
Naturally, whether there are big-name stars or popular traffic, and the strength of the producer have become the most direct judging criteria.
Therefore, in the producer of many TV dramas, they like to hang the name of a big-name director or producer, because this is also a plus point for TV stations when acquiring TV series.
Even if this "producer" has nothing to do with this TV series.
For example, in this "Signal", the producer column has Mu Ming's name on it.
Because the cast of this drama is too clear in today's film and television drama market environment, and the whole drama plus the starring actors, there is no one who is popular.
For example, the three leading actors of this drama, the actor who plays the male protagonist Li Yinbai is called Bai Yu, a 90-year-old rookie actor. graduated from Chinese drama in 13 years, and has only starred in two TV series so far, and they are both supporting roles, and no one knows them at all.
The heroine Wan Qian is slightly better, after all, she has been debuting for a long time, and she still has a lot of fans.
In addition, because he participated in Mu Ming's latest work before, he has been on the hot search for two days, which can be regarded as a bit popular, but that's all.
There is also an old policeman who is played by Xu Yajun, who may be familiar to the audience born in the 50s and 60s.
The best actor who has won many awards such as the Golden Eagle Award and the Feitian Award can be regarded as a powerful old actor.
It's a pity that the strength is very strong, but both popularity and popularity are average.
The leading actors are like this, not to mention the supporting roles.
Zhang Zhijian, Ding Haifeng, Feng Lei......
Some are very well-known, but they are not popular, and some simply do not make a statement.
However, they all have one characteristic in common, that is, their acting skills are very good.
Just kidding, most of these actors are veteran actors who have acted in TV dramas and dramas for decades, and many of them are even lecturers and consultants of Nortel and Chinese opera, how can they not be strong.
In fact, if it's purely in the name of Mizuki, it's really hard to invite them out.
These people are a group of actors who can really be called "old drama bones", and whether they agree to appear or not is to read the roles and scripts, and it is useless to spend money.
But fortunately, the producer of "Signal" still has the names of the Ministry of State Security, the Supreme People's Procuratorate, and the Golden Shield Film and Television Center.
It was precisely because of the name of "Guozitou" and the fact that I was quite satisfied with the script that I agreed to participate.
Of course, the "national prefix" is not borrowed for nothing.
The support for "Signal" is actually a pathfinder for these departments.
I want to see if this kind of cast can be accepted by the current audience, whether this kind of film and television theme can pass the review and so on.
Because just around August last year, these departments also set up a similar TV drama project, but it was about "officialdom anti-corruption".
Because of the consideration of the audience and the issue of review, there has been no progress in the relevant preparations.
Yes, that's right, it was the later "In the Name of the People", which refreshed the ratings record of domestic TV dramas in the past ten years.
Of course, so far, the show is still in the stage of script writing.
At this time, Shuimu Film and Television's "Signal" happened to collide, so it became a test of the market by these national brand departments.
If the results of "Signal" can still be said to be in the past, it means that there is still a market for this kind of drama.
As a result, I didn't expect that the excellent plot and brilliant performance could burst out with such great potential.

This drama became popular all of a sudden, and it was so popular that you don't want it.
On the first day of the broadcast of "Signal", the average rating was 1.2, after all, it was Mango Satellite TV, and it still had Mu Ming's name, and the fan base was still there.
Originally, many people thought that after the first day, the ratings would slowly decline.
As a result, I didn't expect that the ratings on the second day rose again, directly increasing to 1.4.
Because the plot of the original comic is not long, the original TV series only has sixteen episodes.
So even though Mizuki's screenwriters are working hard to add new plots, they have only added thirty-five episodes.
Because if it is extended, it will affect the rhythm of the whole show.
Because of this, this drama is broadcast weekly, with only four episodes per week.
However, it also has the advantage of leaving plenty of time for the audience to discuss.
In the first week, it was okay, but in the second week, the news about "Signal" can really be said to have swept all over Weibo and Moments.
Because the cases in the plot are all based on real cases, even these long-sealed big cases have been dragged into the hot news.
The popularity of the drama is high, which naturally drives the popularity of the actors, especially the three leading actors.
Xu Yajun is okay, after all, the age is there.
And there are relatively few scenes in the play, so it's okay.
But the other two, Wan Qian and Bai Yu, are different.
In terms of strength, Miss Wan Qian, needless to say, although Bai Yu is a newcomer, he is much worse than the old actors, but he is also quite qualified.
If you want to look good, Miss Wan Qian doesn't need to say it, Bai Yu ......
It's okay too.
In this case, the popularity and popularity of the two people are naturally high.
