Decided to Play with the Emotions of the Audience


When the audience watches their Favorite Teleserye (FT), they usually think about the performance of their idols and the plot itself. Viewers are unable to see the brainstorming sessions that are held for long periods, the arguments among writers in terms of character development, and most importantly, the debates on who should be paired with whom and the rest of the cast. Still, what the public is unaware of is that every station that produces a teleserye invests much money. Hence, the formula for a teleserye should bring in profit for the network. If a teleserye flops, then the network loses its investment and the project will not stay on air either until the season is over or even before the end of one season.

However, despite the complexity of producing a teleserye, networks today are sensitive to the comments of netizens. Given that access to social media is easily available, fans have taken they grunts and rants to cyberspace. For example, if fans prefer a certain loveteam and the network believes the idea has potential, then the station will give in to fan requests. Sometimes, when a network makes a sudden move of including a talent and the netizens did not like that talent, a high probability exists that the talent will be pulled out a project.

The vibrancy of the followers of this loveteam is being tested, as most fans are unhappy with the way the creative team is handling the story. Given that the teleserye has been consistently getting high ratings, the one time that the teleserye rating went down, the followers engaged members of the creative team in a debate concerning the development of the plot of the story. While the creative team would always want the audience to have faith in their production, this time, the fans were too concerned of the future story and started to question the writers.

At one point, the fans and the creative team agreed to a ceasefire. Soon, the storyline of their teleserye started picking up again, but then, one episode disappointed fans. Ironically, that particular episode was recommended by the creative team and they were confident of their work and requested for a certain number of tweets for the said episode. However, fans noticed one scene had seemed to allude to their previous discussions with creative. While the said scene could have been dismissed by fans, an exchange of tweets coming from someone in the production allegedly indicated that the controversial scene was really done with malice and a way to get back at fans who have had nothing good to say.

While fans give ratings and support, the production team of any teleserye should be considerate of their viewers. Now that the age of social media is thriving, any message posted by anyone could be easily misconstrued or actually reveal the intentions of the writer. The process of making a teleserye is really not as sweet as people would romanticize it to be.

    1. Wouldn't you demand only the best for your idols?

    2. Jeje has never been associated to the LT's fans. Besides, airing out constructive criticisms is not the same as being demanding. Know the difference.

    4. If D na serye tinutukoy mo, I beg to disagree, may poInt po pinaglalaban ng fans, if mababasa mo lng arguments nla. Matatalino po sila at may moral compass.

    5. Sus deny pa eh ang dami kayang jeje bashers sa fandom niyo.. Check niyo pa IG ng mga na involve dun sa lalake

    6. Kung walang fans na sumusuporta wala din ang show kaya may karapatan din sila magdemand pero huwag naman kasi sobra.

    7. Jeje anon12:33am? Baka ikaw! We're professionals and i came from a long line of writers and book lovers, i know when a story is crap..i'm sure people with common sense knows this that's why, at a certain period the ratings has gone down..only the loyal fans like us, makes it going and we're not stupid not to detect that the plot is full of nonsense! Okay?!

  7. Ay di ito O. High ratings daw e. So D?

  8. Ano pa eh di D nina L at E. Pero bakit sila magrerequest ng dami ng tweets eh puro bots naman ang nagtutweet dun? Tuwing mismong oras lang naman ng show lumalabas yung mga totoong tao.

  9. Pumapangit n kasi ang story nya hindi katulad sa umpisa talagang kaabang abang. Lumilihis n kc minsan paulit ulit n lang ang storya. Yan ang hindi maganda sa teleserye kapag tumaas ang ratings pinapatagal kaya tuloy kpag wala ng maisip na idugtong sa story e kung anu2 n lang para tumagal. 2 teleserye n nkktamad ng panuorin dahil sa pinapatagal ay ang "D" at "P".

    1. Sinira nila ang magandang start ng show..nawala tuloy ang flow ng story, dinagdagan ng mga irrelevant na kadaming extras,bakit di sila magconcentrate sa mga bida nawawalan ng airtime tuloy..ang dalawang bida lang naman ang hinahabol ng televiewers so, why make the story complicated, di na kami nageenjoy. Hay naku!

  21. D of kaf? The storyline is really so gasgas na kasi. Most seryes in the station ganun naman. They start out strong then later on, anyare ate?! Parang naghalungkat ng plot sa 1990's archives. But i don't get the fans sometimes. Sobrang demanding to the point that they threaten the writers na. They're childish brats. As if the creative team owes them the world.

  22. The D serye.. Hahaha yung d nito hugas kamay din eh kunyari sorry sa fans pwede naman nya scrap yun kung ayaw nya ng script.. Don nalang kasi sana binigay ulit aa nagm****a na d at least un lagi blockbuster.. Itong d nito mashadong asa sa script!!! Pasalamat sila magaling ung LT nila!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Ugh, this is D of KaF! Hindi na nagbago yang network na yan, ang nangyayari lang naman sa mga teleserye nila is rine-recycle yung kwento, iibahin ng kaunti tapos iba-iba naman magpoportray nung mga characters. Honestly, dinadaan lang nila sa hype and promo karamihan ng mga palabas nila.

  24. I like to call this the 'waste of talent' serye. Ang gulo. The premise was never strong to begin with. So uninspired and to me, lacked depth. It got boring even before the gasgas plot developments started. The story can be really bad (at least memorable), really good, but when it's boring...

  26. I'm a fan of the lt in this show. Very disappointing nga yung ginawang yun ng creative team. Sometimes gusto kasi puro postive feedback lang naririnig, pag may negative, paparinig pa thru the show.

    ReplyDelete
  27. IF the production staff of D wants to maintain their high ratings, they should tell their scriptwriters to shape up or they'll ship out! Buti lang magagaling ang lead stars and so pleasing to the eyes..Mali eh kaya daming nainis na viewers buti lang unti unti bumabawi sa ratings kasi nakita talaga nila ang kabulastugan nila bumaba ang ratings! Parang iniinsulto ang mga manunuod! The writers deserved the bashings!

    2. Yes that is absolutely true! From an insider, the writers and directors are just waiting for the Top Management's input. Most of the time, scripts are revised on the spot. Really depends on the Management's order.

  37. Sa totoo lang si L, E at magagaling na cast lang neto ang nagdadala sa show. Mayabang ang creative team ng show na to na pikon lagi sa constructive criticisms. Kumakapit ang mga tao dahil sa loyalty sa loveteam na to. Support pa rin sa project nila for the love.

  38. The writer should be suspended! Pikon!

  39. I love L and E pero yung writers lang tlga ang sumisira sa Dserye. Yung mga plot parang nahukay sa maka lumang teleserye. And these LT is an acting powerhouse. Why give the LT rip off story. Like come on

  42. im an avid viewer of this show. I saw the comments posted before. I also saw the reaponse of the writer. nakaka turn off talaga. Constructive criticism naman yun mga post. But he did not take it nicely. Pikon indeed. He is not cut for that kind of job therefore. Sana nakakarating sa itaas ang mga ganyan

  43. Puro reklamo! Eh di wag na lang kayo manuod kaysa ma-high blood kayo! Basta ako nasisiyahan pa sa pinapanood ko. Hindi ko pinapangunahan ang mga Writers. Pinapabayaan kong ikuwento nila ang istorya. Hindi ako nag eexpect para hindi ako madi-disappoint. It's not a perfect show, but I love it. Napapasaya, napapaiyak at naiinlove ako sa mga characters ng serye na ito.

  44. Ang problema din kasi sa Viewers, gusto puro kilig, puro ligaya! Eh hindi nga pwedeng puro ganuon lang. Kailangan ng twists and turns yung story para may thrill. Tapos na agad ang kwento kung nagkagustuhan, nagmamahalan at nagkatuluyan na ang mga bida. Huwag masyadong demanding guys!

    ReplyDelete
  45. Ang story ng mga teleserye ngayon talagang halos pare-pareho na. Kahit Korean dramas, paikot-ikot na lang din ang istorya. Binabali na lang ng Writer at Director yung eksena para maiba ang impact sa Viewers. Wag mainip sa plot. Prelude lang yan sa mga malalaki at significant na episodes in the future.
