I really don't want to be the top streamer anymore

Chapter 161 Sister Yu, you don’t want your daughter to be sad, right?

The first-day broadcast data of the two dramas "Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "Mysterious Valley" are not much different.

This is understandable. After all, in the early promotion and marketing, the two have almost always been evenly matched.

The first day's data is often not based on the reputation of the show, but rather on the early publicity and the subject matter and actors of the show itself to attract the first batch of audiences.

But how much can be retained in the end depends on the appeal of the plot itself.

Although the data is not much different, they are completely at two extremes in terms of discussion.

You can also see viewers discussing the plot of "Mysterious Valley", but compared to "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", the number is really too small.

Even Penguin Video and Tomato TV didn't expect this at that time.

They were almost not needed. The first three episodes of The Legend of Sword and Fairy seemed to have become a hot topic on their own, and the popularity of the drama directly dominated the hot searches.

Yiguo had previously guessed that The Legend of Sword and Fairy would be even more popular. After all, this drama has the potential to become a hit in terms of both subject matter and plot.

But what she didn't expect was that in terms of popularity, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" actually beat "Mystic Valley".

In the three episodes of "Mysterious Valley" aired on the first day, is the plot progressing slowly?
It is definitely not slow. On the contrary, the pace is quite tight and the plot leaves a lot of suspense.

In contrast, the first three episodes of The Legend of Sword and Fairy focus almost entirely on the male and female protagonists.

But there is no way. If you think about it carefully, even Yiguo himself felt more expressive about the plot of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" after watching it.

Whether it is the breathtakingly beautiful shots of the heroine Zhao Linger in the play, or the anticipation for the subsequent development of the plot.

Or the character Drunken Swordsman, who has been widely discussed online. When he appeared and taught Li Xiaoyao swordsmanship, the special effects action scenes of him flying the sword were a little too cool.

To sum up, "The Uncanny Valley" did nothing wrong. Even within its own subject matter, such an opening could barely get a score of eight.

But Xu Kong is really good at filming, and he knows exactly what the audience likes to watch.

Also know where your strengths are.

The music, the actions, and even the shots of the heroine Zhao Linger, every frame of which can be used as a desktop.

Almost all of them hit the audience's G-spot.

And it's the kind that appeals to almost all male and female audiences.

This is also the difference between "Legend of Sword and Fairy" and some previous ancient idol dramas after its broadcast.

It can be seen that the number of male audiences has increased significantly, and the proportion has almost remained the same.

In most of the ancient costume dramas in the past, the proportion of female audiences was more than 80% or even more.

To put it bluntly, those ancient idol dramas are custom-made for women.

But Xu Kong's fairy sword is obviously more ambitious.

On the second day after the two dramas were broadcast, Yiguo’s private messages exploded.

It's nothing more than urging her to update her videos and professional film reviews.

And the most frequently asked question is whether Yiguo thinks Xu Kong's drama is what the other party calls a fairy tale, rather than a traditional ancient idol drama.

After all, the initial doubts were raised by her.

Moreover, those audiences who often watch ancient costume dramas can also see that Xu Kong's version of The Legend of Sword and Fairy is quite different.

Without getting tired of it, she still posted an update on Weibo and major platforms.

“I’m following both shows, but there are so few episodes so I can’t really make an accurate evaluation or review.”

"Everyone, please be patient. When the series have been aired to a certain extent, I will still release separate videos of "Mysterious Valley" and "Chinese Paladin", as well as detailed comparisons and analyses."

Igor himself couldn't come to a conclusion.

Especially regarding Xu Kong's magic sword, I originally thought it was a routine from previous ancient idol dramas, and at most Xu Kong himself made some improvements.

But I found that no matter from which aspect, the temperament of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is completely different from traditional ancient idol dramas.

All in all, the show is currently beyond her understanding.

There is nothing like it on TV in the whole country.

Moreover, the show has just started airing, and given the current circumstances, it is definitely impossible to write film reviews and video copy in a short period of time.

"Based on the popularity of the first broadcast, we should be able to pull away from The Uncanny Valley in terms of data in the next few days."

Zhu Yu spoke as she looked at the premiere data of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

Although the film and television department will also do the relevant data analysis, Xu Kong is also an investor after all, so she, as the agent, must help keep an eye on it.

After the broadcast of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" began, Xu Kong didn't have much to do.

There is no such thing as a roadshow for TV series, and there was no advance preview for the audience this time.

However, publicity cannot be neglected, although there are people helping to operate the official Weibo of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" and his studio's Weibo.

But he still needs help to forward his own Weibo posts.

That’s right, Xu Kong’s most important task these days is to forward various updates from the official Weibo account of The Legend of Sword and Fairy.

For example, just now, he forwarded a poster celebrating the fact that the number of views of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" exceeded 1.8 million on the first day.

"Could you please not sit so close to me?"

“You are not nearsighted.”

Zhu Yu could clearly feel the other person's breath on the back of her neck.

Although there was no contact, because they were so close, they seemed to be able to feel the temperature of each other's body.

"Cough cough."

"Excuse me."

Xu Kong had a calm expression and took a step back.

Zhu Yu also discovered that perhaps because Xu Kong came too frequently, it was no longer just an inch-for-inch move, but could be said to be blatant.

While she was looking at the relevant data, Xu Kong walked behind her without even saying hello and started looking at it together.

The key is to just look at it, but it gets closer and closer.

Zhu Yu wouldn't believe it if she said it wasn't intentional.

"By the way, Sister Yu, what do you think of my equipment?"

When Xu Kong came, Zhu Yu noticed the big backpack he was carrying.

"Tent, small stove, and the necessary flashlight and hiking pole."

Xu Kong counted them as if they were his own treasures.

Zhu Yu had a bad feeling in her heart.

But he still asked tentatively: "Why did you buy these things?"

Of course Xu Kong didn't need to introduce it. As a camping and hiking enthusiast, how could she not know these things?
However, Xu Kong suddenly bought all these things, but he had never said before that he liked to go camping or anything like that.

"Aren't you going camping next weekend?"

Xu Kong answered with a natural expression.

"Look at what I'm going to do, isn't it okay?"

Xu Kong directly lifted the huge backpack to Zhu Yu's desk.

"How did you know I was going camping next week?"

Zhu Yu was a little surprised.

She never told Xu Kong about it.

After all, you usually don’t tell your colleagues about your personal itinerary and plans when you are not in the company.

Although Xu Kong is a little special, he is indeed different from others.

But the more this happens, the more she needs to be vigilant.

"And I didn't invite you to come!"

Zhu Yu glared at Xu Kong. She knew very well what the other party was planning.

But unexpectedly, Xu Kong's sneak attack this time was obviously well prepared.

"Who needs your invitation? Minmin invited me."

Xu Kong said with a half-smile. Zhu Yu immediately felt a little regretful. She really didn't think about her daughter.

Who would have known that he had just told Zhu Min two days ago, but her thoughtful little friend went to invite Xu Kong in the blink of an eye.

"Even if Minmin invites you, it won't work."

Zhu Yu continued to speak, but it was obvious that her words were not very confident.

"I've already promised. If I don't go, Minmin will be sad."

"Sister Yu, you don't want your daughter to be sad, right?"

Xu Kong said as if nothing had happened.

But that tone was quite familiar.

Zhu Yu stared at Xu Kong angrily for a while, but finally gave in.

"No need to bring trekking poles. We're just going to stay at the camping base in the suburbs for one night. No need to hike."

Zhu Yu showed a somewhat helpless expression.

Xu Kong agreed with a smile.

"Got it!"

In the next few days.

"The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "Mysterious Valley" are still being broadcast.

As the plot unfolds, various characters from The Legend of Sword and Fairy gradually appear.

Of course, the data decline in "Mystic Valley" is actually not particularly serious.

After all, the quality and cast of the entire drama are there, and it is a drama with such a huge investment.

The previous premiere attracted quite a lot of viewers.

Less than a week after it was aired, the number of views has exceeded 1.2 million, and Mango TV's ratings have remained stable at around .

However, the popularity of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" continued to grow.

Judging from the data alone, the gap between the two dramas has gradually widened.

On the fifth day of its broadcast, the number of views of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" on Penguin Video had reached 15 billion, more than doubling.

Even on Tomato, the ratings remained stable at above 1.5 starting from the second day of the broadcast.

Moreover, the level of discussion on the Internet completely overwhelmed "Mystic Valley", which was released at the same time, leaving it powerless to fight back.

The popularity is indeed high, but on the other hand, the development of the subsequent plot has also caused quite a stir.

"Lin Yueru is such an annoying character. If it weren't for Zhao Linger, I probably wouldn't have been able to follow this series."

"I have always liked Shang Yuxin. After all, she looks so pure and cute, but the role she played this time is really unlikable."

"Knowing three is three, this plot really raises my blood pressure."

"It was actually okay in the beginning. The biggest mistake of screenwriter Xu Kong was actually the introduction of the character Lin Yueru. In order to increase the sense of drama, he created a love triangle. I really can't accept it."

When the ratings for "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" were first released, it received a high score of 8.9, almost reaching 9 points.

But later, due to the appearance of Lin Yueru, the score dropped directly by nearly 0.3.

Now it's only 8.5 points.

In addition to following the dramas, Yiguo has actually been paying attention to the audience reviews of the two dramas online.

There is no need to say much about "Mysterious Valley". Although the data has been good, its popularity has been almost completely snatched away by "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

If the plot and reviews cannot continue to improve in the future, it is estimated that it will be completely suppressed by Xu Kong's new drama before it is finished.

This has to do with the plot of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" updated in the past few days. Although there are many controversies, especially about the character of Lin Ruru, there are many people who curse at her.

Many viewers also think that this bloody love triangle is the biggest flaw of the entire drama.

But these did not prevent the popularity of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" from increasing several times in less than a week after its launch.

The number of views exceeded 1.5 billion in just five days, making it almost certain to be the hit drama of the year.

After all, it is because the plot itself is still very attractive.

Despite all the criticism, the number of viewers who gave up on the show was quite small.

In fact, Yiguo knew very well why the reputation of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" had declined significantly since the appearance of the character Lin Ruru.

Or it’s because Xu Kong played the character of Zhao Linger so well in the previous episodes.

Moreover, the encounter between the male and female protagonists on the entire Fairy Island was filmed too romantically.

As a result, Lin Yueru suddenly appeared later, still with that unpleasant, willful and capricious image, which most viewers would definitely not be able to accept.

As for Yiguo's personal words, his main focus is not actually on this aspect.

Although the love triangle plot is indeed a bit bloody, but for now, the rhythm and plot direction of the whole drama are still within the controllable range.

More importantly, she discovered that Xu Kong's Fairy Sword was very different from traditional ancient idol dramas.

That is, not all the space is left to the male and female protagonists. Perhaps it is because the first two episodes have already filmed the process of Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Linger falling in love, and there is enough plot in the future to shape other supporting characters.

Characters like the Drunken Swordsman who has few roles in the beginning and Liu Jinyuan who appears later are not stereotyped characters who exist to set off the protagonist.

Even Lin Yueru, although not very popular among the audience, is still flesh and blood, and the portrayal of the character itself is definitely successful.

Moreover, Shang Yuxin has previously played roles that are pure, cute, and somewhat sexy.

Lin Yueru's performance this time was surprisingly good, and it didn't feel out of place at all.

But these are Yigo’s own evaluations.

If this love triangle is not handled well later on, the audience will definitely not buy it.

She was looking forward to the subsequent plot of The Legend of Sword and Fairy more and more.

At the Fengge Company headquarters, the most discussed topic in the company recently is definitely Xu Kong’s new drama "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

However, unlike ordinary drama viewers, in addition to the plot, what people talked about most was the performance of the drama.

At the moment, it seems almost certain to be the first hit drama of the year.

In other words, Xu Kong wrote, directed and starred in two dramas when he debuted. Regardless of the reputation, both dramas became hits.

Considering Xu Kong's age, such talent is indeed shocking enough.

"Xinxin, those people on the Internet don't know anything, don't read those comments!"

Yan Jiaheng spoke with an anxious expression.

"I know, thank you, Brother Jiaheng."

Shang Yuxin smiled politely.

"Director Xu is such a jerk, giving you such an unlikable role."

Yan Jiaheng complained subconsciously.

He has been following the updates of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" every day recently. I have to say that he also hates the character of Lin Yueru.

If I didn't know that Xinxin was definitely not that kind of person, I would probably be affected.

"You are not allowed to say that about him."

After Yan Jiaheng finished speaking, Shang Yuxin subconsciously spoke up to stop him.

Later, I realized that my tone was a little serious, so I adjusted myself and added:
"I am very grateful to Director Xu for giving me this role."

Yan Jiaheng was stunned for a moment, feeling that something was wrong.

But I didn’t pay too much attention to it.

Instead, he explained, "I was just saying it casually, and Director Xu and I have a very good relationship, Xinxin, you don't have to worry."

Shang Yuxin nodded and said nothing more.

As for the insults on the Internet at this time, even those that implicated her, Shang Yuxin didn't take them to heart at all.

I even wished that the other party would curse more harshly at this time.
