Huayu: When the director changed his major

Chapter 134: So Cool That My Scalp Is Numb
The next morning, Shuangzi came to Tianyu Media Company in a good mood.

Although the ratings results will not be released until 11 noon, it does not prevent her from arriving early and enjoying everyone's praise for the new drama.

Yesterday she had seen the fans' comments and Douban's launch ratings.

Everyone is obviously looking forward to seeing herself and Zhang Han acting together in a costume drama, and indeed the feedback from yesterday's premiere was very good.

"The Beginning" received a lot of bad reviews and only scored two and a half stars on Douban, which already makes it a bad drama.

So she was full of confidence in today's ratings.

I finally made it to 11 o'clock in the morning, and saw President Xiao coming into the meeting room with a piece of paper in his hand.

When Zheng Shuang saw Mr. Xiao coming in, she immediately asked impatiently:
"Mr. Xiao, what were the ratings for our 'Phoenix Totem' last night?"

Mr. Xiao first smiled, then looked around at everyone with a cheerful expression, and said word by word:

"The premiere of 'Phoenix Totem' in CSM30 cities received a viewership rating of 1.91%!"

When everyone heard that the premiere ratings were 1.91%, the whole conference room cheered.

Zheng Shuang was even more delighted.

Because the most popular drama "Palace" some time ago had a first broadcast rating of only 1.98%.

You have to know that some time ago, because it was still winter vacation, the audience was larger than it is now in May.

So the 1.91% for "Phoenix Totem" can be considered on par with "Palace Lock Heart Jade".

His previous famous work "Let's Watch Meteor Shower Together" had a premiere rate of 1.88%, and "Let's Watch Meteor Shower Together Again" had a premiere rate of 1.7%.

Now the premiere rate is 1.91%, which proves that her fans are still very loyal and continue to support her.

There is even a trend of growth again!
Moreover, the average viewership rate of a drama is generally higher than the premiere rate. As long as the average viewership rate exceeds 2%, it can be considered a hit drama.

So now Shuangzi can already imagine that this drama can replicate the popularity of "Palace".

And I can become as famous as Senior Sister Yang Mi, and then I will be on par with Yang Mi.

What senior sister? She’s nothing special!

At this moment, she thought of her opponent Zui Bai again, so she immediately asked:
"So what are the ratings for 'The Beginning'?"

Mr. Xiao pursed his lips first, then kept it a secret and said:

“‘The Beginning’ isn’t bad either.”

When Zheng Shuang heard this, her smile froze.

"Their first broadcast rate is 0.99%"

When Shuangzi heard that the number started with zero, he couldn't stop smiling.

I'm almost twice as good as you, what can you, Zui Bai, use to compete with us?
And at this time her agent He Li also said:
"The 0.99% they have is all thanks to us, otherwise who would watch their three-level dramas?"

Shuangzi became even happier when he heard this.

Director Nie of Mango TV also called to congratulate and said that the publicity effect was very good.

We must continue to work hard to make "Phoenix Totem" better than "Palace Lock Heart Jade".

Also, Mr. Xiao, let’s cooperate more next time!
While congratulating, Mango TV Director Nie also secretly sighed that he had not chosen the wrong drama.

If I had chosen "The Beginning", I would be the one suffering now.

On the Tianyu side, Director Nie’s congratulations were heard.

Mr. Xiao and Zheng Shuang were even more cheerful, and laughter could be heard throughout the office.

Mr. Zou of Yanjing TV is also studying the premiere data of "The Beginning" with the marketing department.

"The premiere had a 0.99% viewership rating. It's definitely not a problem for the average to exceed 1, so the ratings aren't bad."

"At least we didn't lose money buying this show, but I think it's impossible to beat Phoenix Totem. They may continue to break 2."

"Alas, there's nothing we can do about it. We've been suppressed by Mango TV for so many years, we've gotten used to it. I just hope I don't lose money this time."

Mr. Zou and the marketing department felt that it was good enough that they didn't lose money this time.

Moreover, we were able to achieve a ratings of over 1 when broadcasting it simultaneously with "Phoenix Totem", which shows that "The Beginning" is of good quality.

It depends on whether we can stabilize it in the future. If we can, it will be a victory.

"That's all for today's meeting. Let's report the ratings to Zuibai Studio."

Finally, Mr. Zou thought:
"Zuibai, which Mr. Zeng praised so highly, can only break even. It's a shame that my old classmate thinks too highly of him."

The ratings of the first broadcast of "The Beginning" were immediately passed to Cheng Xi.

Cheng Xi had already anticipated this result.

"Phoenix Totem" has gathered popular stars and is backed by Mango TV. Even if it broadcasts an animated series, it is estimated that the viewership will exceed 1.

The ratings on our side could have been higher, but there was nothing we could do because "Phoenix Totem" was competing against "The Beginning".

That’s the purpose.

And judging by the premiere ratings, their strategy was successful.

At this time, everyone in the studio and the creative staff also knew the ratings of the two dramas.

Everyone seemed to be silent, and the atmosphere was a little solemn for a moment.

After the meeting, Reba stood up and called on the artists and staff of the studio to continue helping with the promotion.

Since I am now the artist with the most fans in the studio, I also posted many Weibo posts.

And called Yang Zi and asked the sisters to start helping as well.

A call was also made in the book club.

In Reba's opinion, her brother is going through a difficult time now, and she must share some of the pressure with him.

And I am also the heroine, so this is a responsibility I must bear.

At the beginning, my brother rejected senior sister Zheng Shuang and chose me as the heroine.

When Cheng Xi saw Reba constantly posting on Weibo and asking for help, he just thought that the little cutie was being cute again.

But I couldn't help but feel touched.

Cheng Xi knew that the first few episodes of the show were the most peaceful period because there were some settings to be laid.

It was only at the end that the big explosion happened.

So he has plenty of patience, but that doesn't mean he will sit and wait for death.

Cheng Xi quickly cheered up and led the entire studio to get things running.

We also mobilized the resources at hand to further strengthen publicity.

As soon as the ratings came out, netizens gradually became excited.

Shuangfen is even more orgasmic.

Many people came to Zheng Shuang's Weibo to congratulate her on breaking her personal TV drama ratings record.

What made Shuang fans feel even happier was that their rival show "The Beginning" didn't even break 1% in the premiere ratings.

So people went crazy and came to Zuibai's Weibo, saying all kinds of weird things.

He also dug up the comments he had made in previous arguments against Zuibai's fans and @ed them one by one to refute their faces.

We agreed that we’d find out who the powerful people are after the show airs.
Why did they all disappear?
Didn’t you say you have full confidence in Zuibai?

Now that the ratings are out, all justice is in the hearts of the people. However, Zuibai's fans and book friends, seeing that Shuang fans were so excessive, fanned the flames everywhere and gave "Beginning" a malicious low rating on Douban.

It was really infuriating, so everyone united together.

People have been promoting Zui Bai's new drama "The Beginning" on forums, Tieba, Renren and Weibo.

In addition, many book lovers started writing analysis posts, doing the exact opposite of Shuang fans, and began to promote "The Beginning" with reason and evidence.

As the series continued to air, the two ends of the scale gradually reversed.

the next day.

Officer Zhang’s interrogation scene begins: How do you know my last name is Zhang?
The audience was shocked by Liu Yijun's eye acting.

The ratings of "Phoenix Totem" were 1.82%, and "The Beginning": 1.16%.

Zheng Shuang's smile is still bright.

Mr. Xiao smiled but said nothing.

Shuang fans continued to clamor.

Mr. Zou from Yanjing TV: "Zuibai, we finally broke 1."

Cheng Xi: "The future is still long, let's look forward to it."

Mr. Zou thought: Could it be on par with "Phoenix Totem"?
Day three.

Officer Jiang sacrificed his life saving others.

The audience felt sad about the murder of the police officer.

The ratings of "Phoenix Totem" were 1.63%, and "The Beginning": 1.34%.

Shuangzi's smile was reduced to 70%: "What's going on? The ratings dropped?"

Mr. Xiao: "It's okay, it should only be temporary. We will continue to strengthen publicity."

Shuang fans are still unyielding.

Mr. Zou from Yanjing TV: "Zuibai, do you think there will be a promotion tomorrow?"

Cheng Xi: "My wife is in the delivery room—it's time to move up."

Mr. Zou thought: Is it really going to be on par with Mango TV?

Fourth day.

Because the male and female protagonists can cycle, they can eat at the best restaurants without having to worry about losing weight, and they can find further clues.

The audience smiled knowingly, and their tense mood relaxed temporarily.

The ratings of "Phoenix Totem" were 1.54%, and "The Beginning": 1.53%.

Shuangzi's smile completely faded: "How is that possible? Only 0.01% ahead?"

Mr. Xiao: "Don't panic, no matter what. 1.54 vs. 1.53, we're still ahead!"

Shuang fans began to accelerate their attack on "The Beginning".

Mr. Zou from Yanjing TV: "Don't panic, I've already said we want to surpass Mango TV!"

Cheng Xi: "The advantage is mine!"

Day .

The audience was amused by this two-dimensional old baby who loves raising cats.

The ratings of "Phoenix Totem" were 1.23%, and "The Beginning": 1.69%.

Shuangzi's smile was already panicked: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Mr. Xiao: "Help me up quickly, I can still promote it!"

There are disagreements among Shuang fans.

Mr. Zou from Yanjing TV: "Mango TV is nothing special. I was extremely confident before the show even started!"

Cheng Xi: "There is still distance!"

Day .

A heartwarming story about Xigua’s father. Finally, Aunt Guo appears and her eyes kill the audience.

The audience was first moved by the father, and then scared to death by Aunt Guo.

The ratings of "Phoenix Totem" were 0.99%, and "The Beginning": 1.91%.

The actress Liu Dan who played Auntie Guo instantly became popular.

Shuangzi's smile was already tinged with tears: "Why does this comparison look so familiar?"

Mr. Xiao: "Reverse Tiangang?"

Shuang fans were counterattacked by Zuibai fans, and they also @Shuang fans: Now that the ratings are out, all justice is in the hearts of the people!
Since then, book lovers have united in a big carnival, and Shuang fans have fled in panic.

Mr. Zou from Yanjing TV: "That's normal. We're only just twice as far ahead of Mango TV!"

Cheng Xi: "Calm down, calm down."

Seventh day.

Aunt Guo calmly and fiercely thrust the dagger into the heroine's neck, and "The Beginning" completely exploded.

The audience’s dreams tonight are all about Aunt Guo’s smile.

The ratings of "Phoenix Totem" were 0.78%, and "The Beginning": 2.23%.

The whole network has been exposing the inside story of Liu Dan, the actor who plays Auntie Guo, and many people admire Zuibai's casting vision.

Shuangzi's face was filled with anger and regret: "Zuibai, why didn't you choose me? How is Reba better than me?"

Mr. Xiao: “.”

Only the die-hard fans of Shuang are left, and the rest have surrendered.

Mr. Zou from Yanjing TV: "What is Mango TV? Our goal has always been CCTV!"

Cheng Xi: "Shuangzi, I guess you are so happy that your scalp is numb now."

A week later, "The Beginning" went completely crazy.

Liu Dan’s Aunt Guo, Liu Yijun’s Police Officer Zhang, Li Xiaoran’s Director, Reba’s female lead, Zhu Yilong’s male lead, and Lu Di, the cat’s apostle.

Even everyone on the bus has a fan club.

Netizens began to dig up information about each actor.

Of course, the biggest revelation fell on Zui Bai!

Meanwhile, Tianyu's CEO Xiao also received a call from Director Nie of Mango TV:

"Please cut the 50-episode series 'Phoenix Totem' down to 34 episodes as soon as possible. We can only tolerate you for another week!"

Shuangzi was so happy that his scalp was tingling.

The dream of "Palace Lock Heart Jade" did not come true, but was created by the bus "Beginning" and flew far away...

　I continue to spend 1.1 yuan a day, and ask for monthly votes from big directors!
