There is no doubt that "Yu Ci Xiao Zuo" belongs to a low-cost online drama. It has no big-name traffic and stars, is not good at service culture, does not do overwhelming publicity, and puts a lot of resources and energy into polishing scripts and quietly spreading fire.
Compared with those stars who earn tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, the total production cost of a small-budget online drama is only one actor, so it is incomparable in this respect. Therefore, if a small-budget online drama wants to have a good reputation and be popular, it can only work hard on the script and shooting to polish people's design.
Let's take Tribute as an example. It tells the story of a famous woman cooperating with a secret imperial county king to investigate a case in the middle and late Tang Dynasty. The whole plot has a compact rhythm, orderly progress, rigorous logic, and the main line and branch line cross-advance, which is complex but not chaotic. Every character has a distinct personality and everyone has a three-dimensional design. The action design is different, and it is not sloppy at all. When you encounter anatomical problems, there are cartoons to explain the tips, which makes people clear at a glance. It can be said that this drama has few slots except for big-name stars.
Similar TV series include Chen Qianqian in Rumor, Once upon a time there was a mountain with a sword, and I only like you. They are novel in subject matter, interesting in plot, or attractive, which can arouse the emotions of the audience or greatly arouse their desire to watch.
Therefore, if a small production wants to be popular, it doesn't have to conquer culture and star lineup. We should work hard on the topic selection and script, shoot carefully and edit carefully. Sometimes a good story is more important than a good-looking face.
Of course, if you want to break through the small-budget online drama, it depends on luck. No one knows whether the audience will buy the play before it is broadcast. However, there are similarities in the dramas that have been broadcasted. At least there is no slot in the plot, which makes people cause * * *.
